28 – Conflict

The Black Society is made up of minor villain groups and Mine groups.

And, unlike the Mine groups, there were many cases where villain groups disguised themselves as normal groups and hid in various parts of society.

The Gargantua Guild of Rabelais, which is considered one of the top five villain groups, was the same.

The Gargantua Guild of Rabelais owned a 30-story building in the middle of densely populated Seoul.

“Hey, how is the mission progress?”

On the top floor of the 30-story building, Myung Myung-oh Hunter, who has a special talent for information search, said.

“I don’t know.”

Oh Chun-hwa, a master of transformation, passed the question lightly.

“You don’t know? Is that your job?”

“… To be honest, I wonder if I should use my power properly against these small pikes.”

Oh Chun-hwa had many complaints.

She has been leading numerous assassination missions up to now, befitting her nickname of a master of transformation.

An assassin’s reputation depends on the number and background of the target he assassinates.

But lately I have a strong sense of skepticism.

Because she is only dealing with small pups that will leave gold on her reputation.

“You almost failed the mission last time, lady. Please be alert, alert.”

Oh Chun-hwa was furious at Myeong Seong-oh’s point.

“Ajumma? Who is the lady!”

“That’s right, lady.”

Oh Chun-hwa continued her speech as if she was dumbfounded.

“I am still in my early 30s. These days, it’s a hundred years old! You’re a girl until you’re 50!”

“… You are laughing.”

“Ha! Do you have the ability to know what is going on in the world when you are always stuck in a building and lead a secluded life? Even though you do not know it that well.”

Myung Myung-oh’s face distorted at her words.

“Who are you calling a hikikomori?”

“Who said hikikomori? She just said she’s a recluse. Does she get stabbed?”

“Write this…. Do you want to die?”

At that time, a black mist gently spread from the floor, and the golden eyes shone in the dense silhouette.

“… Stop fighting.”

At her appearance, Chunhwa Oh and Myeongseongoh stung.

“Is the guild leader here? Oh, we didn’t fight….”

“He’s arguing. Guild leader.”

The guild leader had no intention of getting along with the two of them.

She said solemnly.

“This mission is important. Failure is not tolerated. You have to do your best.”

“Yes. Sure. It’s a mission commissioned by the open cluster….”

“Have you finished understanding the person around you?”

At her question, Oh Chun-hwa looked at Myeong-seong-oh.

Myung Seong-oh did his best to report while frowning.

“Yes. I figured out that there were no annoying characters. Recently, there is Choi Ji-seong, the son of Choi Kang-cheol, who is called Shin Sung, but I think that our assassin will deal with it enough… In addition, as for the security personnel, as a result of obtaining information in advance, it is judged that there will be no security personnel for the target on the day.”

The guild leader turned on the beam projector screen with a gesture.

In the dark, the screen was brightly lit.

The screen pointed to a local internet news that had been uploaded this morning.

To be exact, the accident that occurred during the practice of the Academy Dungeon.

“Local news reported today. Have you finished figuring out the person in that case?”

She said, pointing to the person on the screen.

“Uh… That….”

There was no mention of fame.

Once he saw that, Chunhwa Oh looked at him with an expression of accusation.

“You didn’t get it right. You have to be alert to your mission, alert. Tsk tsk.”

Myung Seong-oh was annoyed, but swallowed his anger and made an excuse.

“I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any information about that person.”

“Why didn’t you figure it out?”

“I couldn’t read it with my abilities.”

Oh Chun-hwa said as if she was dumbfounded.

“You’re just an academy cadet. Let’s see the name… Ymir? It’s an odd name. You couldn’t figure it out with your ability? Didn’t you skip the mission easily?”

As Myeong Seong-oh glared at Oh Chun-hwa, the guild leader spoke solemnly.

“Is it a condition problem?”

“No. I was isolated from society for about 10 days to use my abilities for this mission. However… It was simply impossible to read.”

“At least information like an academy cadet….”

Oh Chun-hwa laughed at Myung-oh Myeong-oh, but the guild leader had a different idea.

“Oh Chun-hwa.”

“Yes. Guild leader.”

“Don’t be careless with this mission. If you use artifacts to carry out missions with dummy like last time, you will be greatly reprimanded.”

“… Yes.”

“You must step forward and do your best to complete the mission.”

Oh Chun-hwa is annoyed, but the guild leader’s orders are absolute.

“I will do as you command.”

She bowed her head in the face of her black mist.

After lunch, I stopped by the library and made an appointment to visit the third floor.

And the afternoon class that followed.

The first class on Monday afternoon is Daejeon practice class.

In the face of Park Dae-sik’s relentless violence, I was able to raise my guts ability again.

[Special stat increase]

[Guts 2.22 ▶ Guts 3.33]

How come your guts level goes up every time you get hit?

I really don’t understand.

“… Should I like this or not? Write.”

As I was frowning as I checked my ability level, the next class instructor came in.

“Ugh. The smell of sweat.”

In the afternoon classes on Mondays of the 3rd and 4th weeks of every month, general weapon response practice is conducted instead of monster preparation.

Gu Yunhwan, the instructor in charge of the subject, became irritated as soon as he entered.

“This is why I wanted to conduct a class before the match practice. Ugh, tidying up isn’t enough, and you’re really uneducated. Is it because I used my bare hands… Great.”

He blatantly waved his hands and proceeded with the class with the magic scarecrow in front of him.

“Nice to meet you. Cadets. This is Gu Yoon-hwan, a general weapon countermeasures practice instructor. During the first semester from today, we will educate you on how to use the 8 types of general weapons and how to deal with them.”

He taught the class fluently.

“First of all, there are swords, blunt weapons, spears, axes, whips, throwing weapons, fighter weapons, and soldier weapons. Here, swords are a general term for swords, swords, daggers, two-handed swords, etc. .”

After the long explanation, practice began.

“Then let’s practice.”

A hologram scarecrow appeared in front of the cadets as Yoonhwan Gu beckoned.

Gu Yunhwan said.

“But before that, in order to accurately understand this practice pattern I just explained, you need to memorize the order and posture correctly. So it would be nice to actually see it. Let’s see, we need a cadet in a secondary role to show this properly….”

Goo Yoon-hwan stared at me blatantly while saying his words.

I already know why.

Gu Yunhwan is a hero who uses firearms and tends to ignore bare-handed users.

In addition, he has an arrogant and authoritative personality, and secretly enjoys comparing his abilities to others.

“There is a cadet in this class who changed his armament to bare hands. Perfect for a supporting role. The name… Ymir? That’s a very cool name. Would you like to come forward?”

Without much hesitation, I strode forward as he requested.

I was standing facing the scarecrow, he said.

“From now on, the scarecrow will attack one after another with the sword. I just gave you an explanation, so you can respond, right?”

I nodded.

“Yes.”

At that moment, without warning, the scarecrow swung his sword.

A speed that is difficult to cope with at the cadet level.

“As you can see, I couldn’t avoid the sudden attack with swords like this….”

But I avoided it.

“… I didn’t do it and I got through it well. I think you’ve heard the explanation very well. Other cadets can do the same. Then….”

Before he could finish his words, the Scarecrow swung his sword again.

This time it’s a stab.

I easily avoided it by twisting my upper body.

“… ….”

Gu Yunhwan’s face stiffened slightly.

Originally, after I failed, I would have tried to show success and authority by following the same process myself.

That’s because it’s the first training session.

But his plan failed.

Gu Yunhwan cleared his throat as if he was embarrassed.

“… A very good cadet. Did the other cadets take a good look?”

The cadets answered.

“”Yes.””

Is it over now?

I thought so, but my expectations were wrong.

Gu Yun-hwan pitched all the way.

“But the battle is a real fight, so don’t be careless….”

As soon as he finished his words, the Scarecrow suddenly struck down his sword.

But even that attack was easily dodged by me. As you just learned.

“… ….”

Gu Yunhwan looked at me with a puzzled face.

You might want to ask how a regular cadet got away with this.

Even though my level of growth is lacking, I have experience.

In the case of a scarecrow made for educational purposes, it is not difficult to respond according to the manual as the behavior is determined by the standard.

In short, when the scarecrow extends his left foot, the next action is a slash, when he extends his right foot, a swing, and when he pulls his hand back, a stab.

“… You may return to your seat. Cadet Ymir. Thank you for your effort.”

While Gu Yunhwan’s face froze cold, words of light appeared in front of my eyes.

[Unexpected Hidden Achievement: Achieved ‘Practice King’!]

[You get additional stats as an achievement reward.]

[Additional Ability Strength + 1]

[Additional Ability Feats + 1]

Unexpected achievements that are hidden are very rare, but there were cases where stats were given like this.

Good luck.

I was rejoicing inwardly at the unexpected windfall, but all of a sudden, stinging glares poured in from all directions.

As I headed to my seat, I glanced sideways to see Mo Ye-ji looking at me with a burdensome smile, and Ha Yeon-si glaring at me with a dissatisfied look.

Uyuna in the back seat has an unexpected face.

Write. I’ll pierce your body

Besides them, there were other people staring at me, but for some reason, one of Yoo Seong-won’s gang was glaring at me like he was going to kill me.

What was his name?

Ignoring the glances, I returned to my seat.

* * *

Class is over.

Gear, the time for training has arrived today as well.

I turned around to go to the training ground, but there was someone looking for me.

“Hey. Primitive man.”

From noble mtl dot com

The calling voice is not nice.

“I heard you ripped off my friends? Kid.”

When I turn my head, one of Yoo Seong-won’s gang is glaring at me like he’s going to kill me.
