Chapter 74

When Min-joon readily stepped forward, Chief Lim seemed to welcome him as well.

“Five! It’s time to check the history of winning the First Stage, right?”

“Does it feel a bit different from that?”

“There is not much difference. There are many similarities in the system structure.”

Im’s words were not completely wrong, but there were many parts that were clearly different from the first stage.

I mean the biggest difference.

In the case of an archer who handles a bow, due to the nature of the ‘air zone field’ that receives less air resistance.

There was a high probability of creating greater synergy than other fields.

Of course, the story is a bit different when it comes to farming with monsters appearing in various directions.

‘I need to draw more concisely and quickly than ever before.’

Keeping distance is more important than ever.

If you were planning to clear at least 6 rounds, you had to pay a lot of attention to maintaining distance as well as sight.

“Then, get ready.”

“yes.”

Minjun checked the number of arrows and stood on one side of the home ground, the starting point.

***

Chii Ik-

When Minjun stepped on the home ground point, a group of ‘red mantises’ gathered as if they would jump out at any moment.

‘Certainly my breath stops on its own.’

Even just standing still, Minjun was already out of breath.

His propensity to hold his breath whenever he shoots multiple arrows.

It was necessary to secure an oxygen capsule in advance.

‘One over there, and one over there. OK.’

At the beginning of each round, the key is to find out where the oxygen capsules are located and create an advantageous route.

Monster wave farming is the next story.

[Let’s start the first round.]

Boo Woo-

In an instant, swarms of ‘red mantis’ began to appear in the middle of the field.

It felt like 5 to 10 spawns every 5 seconds.

Min-jun hurriedly headed to the corner where the oxygen capsules were.

[Oxygen capsule x1 secured.]

“I got one.”

On the other hand, as soon as they saw Min-Jun, who was cornered in a corner with nowhere else to run, a group of red mantises rushed at him.

aaah-!

Minjun couldn’t just watch it, so he held his breath and took out several arrows.

[Used the skill Rapid Fire [Lv 4].]

Aww-!

With the arrows he took out in advance, he fired the loaded arrows as smoothly and concisely as possible.

It was because I hadn’t neglected training at the usual training ground.

Minjun’s connecting movements were more nimble and smoother than ever.

Several arrows left from his hand often penetrate helplessly through the ‘red mantis’ body, stomach, and back.

It even pierced the body of the red mantis in the lead, and mortally wounded the guys behind it as well.

aaah-!

Min-Jae Seo also cleared the round without difficulty, and so did Min-Jun.

Moreover, Minjun was two to three times more nimble than Minjae Seo.

He evaded the onslaught of the red mantis and fired arrows.

[You have cleared the first round of the Air Zone Field.]

‘Whoa, it’s worth doing more than I thought.’

Seeing Minjun farming the first round easily and smoothly, members of the crew naturally exclaimed.

“Wow, why are you moving so lightly?”

“You shoot well even in bad conditions, right?”

“As expected, the class of the first stage winner is different!”

“It’s quite good, but I tidy up everything for the first round.”

Of course, Seo Min-jae, who had experienced the first round, reacted calmly.

Manager Lim also thought that Min-jun would pass the first round without incident.

Even though it was the 1st round, I nodded my head naturally as I cleared it without incident.

pair- pair-

“I thought that the first round would be successful without difficulty. Then we will prepare for the next round right away.”

When Im pressed the red button on the small remote control he was holding, the second round field was formed.

[Let’s start the second round.]

‘I’m going with the same strategy this time!’

– So far, it seems the most harmless.

‘Where is it?’

Similarly for round 2, you must secure oxygen capsules in advance.

In the case of the ‘lightning wasp’, a flying monster.

Since I’m floating in the air, I’m having a harder time adjusting my zero point than in the first round.

Weing- weing-

The flapping of the wings of the ‘lightning patterned wasp’, which had not yet emerged from the bar, could be heard exceptionally loud.

Minjun first predicted where the oxygen capsule would be created, and then moved to that spot in advance.

It was like that when Seo Min-jae started.

Usually, the origin of oxygen capsules was always located not far away.

This time too, after predicting that it was a corner of the field, I moved my body one tempo faster than in the first round.

However, this was a miscalculation.

‘Lightning patterned wasps’ have already penetrated the bar and are flying here and there in the air, attacking Min-jun.

It was because the oxygen capsule was still not being created.

‘Huh! like… Breathing fast.’

-You did a very interesting trick.

It seems that Chief Lim has installed a trick.

He must have been dissatisfied with the round going smoothly like this, so he created an irregular situation from the second round.

– Over your head!

‘stomach?’

Read at noblemtl. com

Just then, Gram instructed Minjun to lift it above his head.

That would be too.

‘this… I never thought of this again!’

It was none other than an oxygen capsule box suspended from a balloon floating in the air.

In a word, it was Director Lim’s intention to pop the balloon with an arrow and snatch the oxygen capsule.

‘Oh, he really makes me do everything.’

Min-joon’s nerves were also on the brunt because he would have to worry about the swarm of bees crossing in all directions, but even the balloons floating in the air had to be taken care of.

Well, whether or not I give up here and give up the interview with Master Gu Hwang-seok.

In any case, he thought that he would meet him at least once, but Min-joon did not lack the desire to seize this opportunity on his own.

‘You thought I couldn’t do this?’

Minjun gave a rather shallow smile.

Before long, a small amount of mana began to erupt.

The energy of magic emanating from Min-Jun’s surroundings.

I held my magic power and let out a breath.

Weing- weing-

With this in mind, the ‘lightning pattern wasps’ around them rushed at them in unison.

That’s why.

It didn’t have enough influence to damage Minjun.

He only rushed at him, lingering around Min-joon.

That would be too.

Perhaps because of the unique magical energy radiating from Minjun, the ‘lightning wasps’ seemed to tremble as they got closer to him.

‘It’s much more comfortable.’

As Min-joon used his magic to breathe comfortably, he looked at the box of oxygen capsules still floating in the air.

‘First of all, I should pack something!’

He drew the bowstring without hesitation. If you hesitate even a little, you will have to do the zeroing again.

The breathing method using magical energy felt quite high in consumption.

Fussiung-!

Pan-!

Instantly hitting the flying balloon, the oxygen capsule box tumbled to the floor.

From the point of view of Min-jun, who needs to reduce the amount of mana consumption as much as possible from the second round.

I had to quickly drink the oxygen capsule and reduce the magical breathing method.

gulp- gulp-

While the ‘lightning wasps’ hesitated for a while.

Min-jun inhaled the oxygen capsule and hunted them again with normal breathing.

Kiki-I-Look! Hey hey hey!!!

At the tempo of Minjun pulling the visible jokjok bow, ‘lightning patterned wasps’ continued to burst out.

[Skill Hail Shot [Lv 4] was used!]

Also, it was impossible not to show a performance around this time.

Skills with high utilization value were also showcased to their heart’s content.

Around the time when arrows were pouring down like that.

A welcome message suddenly appeared on the screen.

[You have cleared Round 2 of the Air Zone Field.]

“Phew, that’s easy.”

Wiping sweat from his forehead, Min-jun waited for the next three rounds.

***

Ark Guild Master Room.

Gu Hwang-seok was busy watching the situation of the ‘Air Zone Field’ on the 56th floor in real time on the monitor.

“Heh heh, there is a freshman that is really rare at Xenix.”

Gu Hwang-seok had already heard from Chief Lim that the Jenix students were going to visit the Ark Guild office building today.

However, I didn’t expect that Cha Min-joon would be included among the Xenix students.

It is surprising that such a coincidence exists, and in fact, I could hardly take my eyes off of the performance he was showing in ‘Air Zone Field’.

“How can the basics be so solid? I can’t believe I’m a freshman!”

Even within the Ark Guild, there were definitely archer hunters.

Even among active hunters, it was a prestigious arc guild with ranger hunters of B rank or higher.

By the way, if you think about Cha Min-joon’s identity as a first-year trainee.

It seemed that the understanding of the bow as well as the basic skills was quite high.

Of course, the situation is still only in the second round.

It was necessary to observe more, but even though Gu Hwang-seok had a tricky eye when it came to seeing Hunters, Cha Min-jun kept getting curious.

“I see, as Chief Lim said, we didn’t win the First Stage for nothing.”

Cha Min-joon, a freshman who defeated his only grandson, Gu Dong-man.

At first, I felt pitiful only for the drive I carried to the freshman.

However, the more I look at Minjun Cha, the more I can’t understand it.

This situation is just astonishing to Gu Hwang-seok.

Even in round 2.

Because it was none other than Gu Hwang-seok himself who instructed the trick on obtaining the oxygen capsule.

Cha Min-joon, who was quick to judge the situation, was considered not ordinary.

“Hmm, if it just goes on like this… It doesn’t sound like fun for some reason.”

Following the second round, Gu Hwang-seok was a strategy to twist the third round beyond the existing method.

He radioed Lim before the start of the third round.

“Chief Lim.”

-Yes, Master.

“Do you have a feeling that the second round ended more blandly than you thought?”

– Shall we try tricks in the next round?

“As expected, Chief Lim is quick-witted. okay. I want to see if I can even respond in the third round.”

-yes! We’ll proceed right away.

Gu Hwang-seok rested his chin on his chin and looked forward to what Cha Min-joon would show in the third round.
