Episode 46

“It can’t be. No way!”

Zhu Guanghu has always been in denial.

The phantom centaurs are often annihilated by Min-jun’s arrow.

As Joo Kwang-hu, it was so absurd that he was curious about Min-joon’s identity.

“what is your identity?”

“me? extra.”

“What?”

It was clear that I wouldn’t understand even if I said this anyway.

Minjun omitted further explanation.

On the other hand, the audience often opened their mouths at the overwhelming charm of Min-jun.

“room… What did you just see?”

“You say you can defeat a B+ grade monster that easily?”

“How did such a Hunter exist in Jenix?!”

“Ju Guanghu didn’t even show his presence at all!”

“Are you really in the first year?!”

Everyone couldn’t help but be surprised.

There were many who expected that the final winner of the first stage would definitely be Kwang-Hoo Joo.

At least, it was difficult to think that a participant from Jenix, who was weak in one-handed skills, would stand out.

Moreover, it is not simply a monster with low combat power.

Among undead monsters.

Minjun’s performance in overpowering the Phantom Centaur with high fighting power was enough to be imprinted on everyone.

Because of this, Kwang-Hoo Joo, who showed an impressive appearance in the dark dungeon, was completely forgotten.

Only Minjun’s performance was revealed.

“Undead type monsters are hard to catch even for active hunters… .”

“I thought he would have a holy attribute skill.”

“Skills are the same, but bow skills are not average!”

Academy officials and professors in each country began to pay attention to Min-jun.

Already, archers are among the hunters.

A person with a rarity because he must have a lot of talent and sense to have.

Min-joon, who is only 20 years old and is expected to grow up in the future, deserves everyone’s greed.

Chae Jung-mi, a professor at Prow, recognized Min-jun early on.

She, too, wanted to get in touch with Minjun.

‘I have to strike first.’

Chae Jung-mi saw today as an opportunity to nurture new disciples.

It was because the talent that an archer should have was clearly visible in Minjun.

The desire to go one step closer to Min-jun right now and make an offer was like a chimney.

However, right now, not only are all eyes on Minjun.

“!!”

All participants from the map.

Among them, Minjun definitely shone.

Also, as soon as the first stage was over, various quest rewards were poured into Minjun.

Even the skill he had just learned, ‘Spray of Light’, jumped 2 levels, raising his skill level.

Despite the fact that the quest was quite difficult, Min-jun completed the quest proudly.

However, other participants except for Min-jun couldn’t help but be puzzled when they saw the final ranking.

“Eh? Isn’t the score broken right now?”

“It’s not Joo Kwang-hu, it’s Xenix Academy’s car… Minjun Cha? No. 1?!”

“Was this some kind of home advantage? what?!”

“Really Zhu Guanghu is in second place? I saw you enter the space of trial.”

“The fact that Kwang-hu Joo is in second place even after entering the space of trials… . Then what is he?”

Compared to Joo Kwang-hu, Min-joon had no presence.

Many of the participants had never heard of Minjun’s name.

However, as soon as the first stage was over, Minjun’s image began to appear on the screen one by one.

Entering a thick forest with relatively easy difficulty.

Cool-headed yet nimble bow skills.

And his performance in the space of trials.

Participants could not take their eyes off of Minjun on the big screen.

C-class monsters are difficult opponents to deal with easily, and among the participants, only a handful of people can hunt them.

As a result, the image of Min-Jun defeating the Phantom Centaur was bound to be imprinted on him forever.

“I-you caught that by yourself?”

“The one who couldn’t even hit the arrow of Zhu Guanghu… … .”

“It’s not even a B grade, it’s just a B+! How do you get hold of that!”

All participants looked at the video on the screen and at Minjun next to them alternately.

“Are you really handsome?”

“I heard that Joo Kwang-hu is a gangster, but Cha Min-joon? He seems to be on another level.”

“Genius in archery, genius in face. I’m jealous, really.”

Not only his bow skills, but also his good looks.

He was close to the likable type.

“The winner of the First Stage is from the Xenix Academy! Cha Min-jun took over. Applause please!”

The host, Mr. Yu, heated up the atmosphere.

Moreover, in the case of the first stage, there has never been a precedent for a contestant from Jenix to win.

Today, Minjun’s appearance has become more illuminated.

“Can I ask Minjun Cha a few questions?”

“Yes, you say.”

Mr. Yu immediately pointed the microphone at Minjun.

“Unlike other contestants, he chose ‘thick forest’, but I was personally a bit puzzled. Is there a reason?”

“Well, there was no particular reason. I just like the forest.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes, after clearing it, it seems that the secret passage opened and got caught.”

“What a surprise! And I have another question.”

For some reason, Minjun expected the next question.

“It was really impressive to catch the Phantom Centaur in the space of trials that boasts extreme difficulty. There must have been some psychological burden, but I wonder how it was.”

“Rather than a mental burden, I just wanted to catch it somehow.”

“hahahaha! As expected, maybe it’s because he’s a confident freshman, so his aspirations are different!”

The audience clapped their hands one by one at Minjun’s calm impression.

pair- pair-

“I think a very good one deal will come out of Xenix?”

“He is a rare archer.”

“You have enough talent! From my point of view, might he grow even bigger than the current king?”

The wise king, called the palace god today.

There were even people who compared him to Minjun.

***

Meanwhile, Min Byung-wook kept an eye on Min-joon’s performance from the stands.

To him, a master of black magic, Minjun’s appearance was truly special.

“It’s quite the way. I would have thought he would have a holy attribute skill.”

When Min Byeong-wook captured Blackwiz’s 9th platoon leader Kim Jun-seok, he thought it was just a coincidence.

It has already been verified that it was not luck that overpowered Kim Jun-seok, but skill.

‘A pretty interesting junior came out from Xenix!’

Even if Min Byung-wook had 10 or 100 phantom centaurs in front of him.

It was just a ragtag monster.

I don’t know if that’s why

The appearance of an undead B+-class monster in the space of trials itself was very interesting.

He is of course among the contestants.

I thought there would be absolutely no contestants at a level capable of dealing with these undead monsters.

It was interesting when Min-Jun showed a reversal.

‘It wasn’t just luck that they overpowered the kids on our side.’

When I found out that Platoon 9 leader Kim Jun-seok had been killed, I didn’t take his abilities seriously.

It didn’t seem like that at all.

Before long, Byung-wook Min looked towards the Jenix main building, which was far away from the first stage.

‘The Jenix main building was over there.’

Min Byeong-wook did not come here simply because of the Rookie Hunter World Championships.

The ultimate purpose was different.

‘I guess I’ll have to start soon.’

When everyone’s eyes were on the field, Min Byung-wook hurriedly started to act.

Unknowingly, before Min Byeong-wook also got up from his seat.

The moment his gaze shifts to Minjun.

His eyes met.

‘what. That expression.’

Minjun’s eyes seemed to imply something rather than simply eye contact.

Of course, he didn’t think his thoughts were exposed, but that didn’t make him feel good.

‘It’s quite annoying.’

At best, he won the competition among the chicks, and seemed smug.

“At that age, everyone knows they are the best. Whoops! It will change once you face the reality.”

It was necessary to put aside for a while what kind of person Minjun was.

Now, it is only the main building of Xenix Academy.

I just had to focus on that.

That would be too.

This is because the main building of Xenix Academy has more than artifact level artifacts.

An artifact that Professor Xenix and the officials are keeping secret.

‘A staff made of world trees.’

Min Byeong-wook’s goal was just that.

‘I’ll have to absorb all the hunters’ magic.’

A world where unique magic exists only for hunters.

The artifact and staff that can gather that magic power is the ‘staff made of the World Tree’.

The mana absorbed by the staff was a magic tool that could not only exert a greater synergy of mana, but also transcend it.

It was something Min Byeong-wook had longed for.

He was a staff member who could not be overlooked in the past, and he was meticulously stored in the main building of Xenix Academy.

I couldn’t stand it.

However, right now, there is no one to recklessly oppose.

No matter who the opponent was, Min Byeong-wook was not afraid.

‘Then, shall we go get it soon?
