60 – Battle (2)

Seol Kyu-geon cleared his throat and knocked on the door of the president’s office.

Smart smart.

From inside the president’s office, a boy’s clear and pure voice was heard.

“Come in.”

Seol Gyu-geon tidied up his clothes and carefully opened the door and entered the president’s office. President Kang Yoo-han gets nervous every time he meets him.

From noble mtl dot com

“What did you call me for?”

A few days before the first year cadets’ survival intensive week, Seol Gyu-geon came to see the president. He is because of the promises made by the rector.

Kang Yu-han was exhausted after meeting her woman that day, so she dealt with Seol Gyu-geon roughly and sent it back. So, the demons inside the academy, including Seol Gyu-geon, were dissatisfied.

Because as Yuhan Kang gathered the demons inside the academy, she promised their safety and future.

Some of the cadets were dissatisfied because there were also cadets who became masters after being promised a future by Kang Yu-han.

However, when Kang Yoo-han made an appointment with her first, the dissatisfaction subsided a little.

“Last time we met, she asked me how long should I wait indefinitely?”

“Yes.”

Utilizing the president’s authority, students can complete early graduation or be transferred to a good guild undercover so that they can live with the promise of a stable future instead of living a boring life at the academy.

This is because Kang Yoo-han, including the five major families, the Awakened Organization, and the Black Society, excluding the Hero Association, has long lived and aged, so there are many places where she can reach out.

The demons of the academy saw the background and pledged their allegiance to become Kang Yoo-han’s eyes, ears, hands and feet. However, Kang Yu-han, who gathered them together, did not use them at all, so she was only anxious about them.

“Are you dissatisfied with not doing anything?”

“There are many people who are anxious.”

“You think I won’t keep my promise?”

Seol Kyu-geon spoke cautiously.

“Yes.”

“Hmm. I mean.”

Yuhan Kang tapped her finger in the air as she sat on her sofa. Then she heard her tapping on the table behind her. That is Kang Yoo-han’s famous ability, the invisible hand.

“Do you know that Cadet Jeon Hoon-seung is dead?”

“Yes.”

“I organized an investigation team inside the academy to investigate.”

“Yes.”

Seol Kyu-geon thought while listening to those words. Is Jeon Hun-seung’s death an excuse to say something?

A hunter killed by his prey does not qualify as a hunter. With that as an excuse, if you say that your skills are not reliable, so I can’t entrust you with work, Seol Gyu-geon has nothing to say. However, something unexpected came out.

“Do you know who killed Jeon Hun-seung?”

“… Uh. Do you know?”

Seol Kyu-geon suddenly recalled the scene of Jeon Hun-seung’s death and admired it.

“The investigation team did something.”

Are you saying that hero-turned-instructors are different?

It is surprising that the culprit was identified in a place with almost no traces.

“I personally found out, not the investigative team.”

“… How?”

“With the invisible eye.”

“Ah.”

To be honest, Yuhan Kang was not at ease enough to be interested in a student. He wasn’t even interested. All of this information was from a woman a few days ago. And now Kang Yoo-han passed on the order the woman gave to Seol Gyu-geon.

“Don’t you want revenge?”

“Uh….”

Seol Gyu-geon had no intention of avenging the death of another demon. However, if he answered that he did not want to take revenge, he seemed to be waiting again without any promise.

“I want to.”

“The one who killed Jeon Hun-seung was a 1st year cadet.”

“You mean the first year cadet killed the second year cadet?”

“Yes.”

Yuhan Kang gestured at her in the air as she spoke. Then, a folder of documents flew in from afar and was placed in front of Seol Gyu-gun. He moved the folder with his invisible hand.

Seol Kyu-geon read the file and said.

“Ymir!”

Seol Kyu-geon was so dumbfounded that he forgot his fear of the president and shouted.

“… Are you saying that this guy really killed Jeon Hun-seung?”

“Yes.”

“… I don’t understand….”

Seol Kyu-geon thought while being bewildered. The president’s words are absolute. So even though a lot of information was needed to understand it, I was easily convinced. Kang Yoo-han’s words carry that much weight.

“Jeon Hun-seung was careless.”

“It wasn’t careless, it was planned.”

“Did you get hit on purpose?”

“That freshman cadet handled Jeon Hun-seung like a premeditated assassination. I plan to hunt all of you, not just Jeon Hun-seung.”

Seol Gyu-geon’s eyes were stained with astonishment.

“Only a freshman cadet… Are you saying that this chaff, which is not even from the 5th generation, has deliberately hunted the demons inside the academy and will continue to hunt them?”

The more he talked, the more he didn’t understand, so he asked again.

“How do you know who we are… ? Are you a person dispatched by the Hero Association?”

Just a few years ago, there was a case where the association dispatched a hero disguised as a freshman. Recently, however, such cases have disappeared due to information leaks and interference with cadets’ learning conditions.

“I am not a person dispatched by the association.”

“So you’re saying that the first year cadets are hunting demons on their own?”

“Yes.”

“Why the hell… ?”

Ordinary cadets have no reason to do that. New cadets have no reason to do that either. This is because there is no contact with Mine inside the academy.

Kang Yoo-han heard some information from the woman and guessed the reason. However, she has no reason to tell Seol Kyu-gun what she knows.

“That’s not the point. The fact that it will continue to kill you if left alone is important. How are you going to handle it?”

“Should… No, I’ll take care of it. If that’s true, of course no, it’s a problem that needs to be dealt with right away.”

Seol Kyu-geon was not clear, but he accepted Kang Yu-han’s words positively. If you think about it, isn’t this information given to them for their own sake? Maybe it’s a ploy to test their skills. The more Seol Gyu-geon thought about it, the more he became convinced and said it vigorously.

“I will share this information with other mines to make sure they are taken care of.”

“I’ll trust you and leave it to you.”

“Yes.”

Battle Concentration is a way to gain victory points through a match between cadets. At the end of the competition week, the highest score will be given in order of the most points. After appointing the cadet you want, you can fight and get victory points when you win. If you fight against a relatively strong opponent and win, you can get a lot of victory points.

At this time, the tiers among individual cadets are distinguished based on the evaluation results obtained in the training evaluation week. Total tiers exist from Tier 1 to Tier 5. If you win a match between cadets of the same tier, you get 2 points, if you fight and win against a cadet of a lower tier than yourself, you get 1 point, and if you fight and win against a cadet of a higher tier than yourself, you get at least 3 points. Additional victory points can be obtained by +1 for each difference level.

“Hey. Finally, the match tier chart is on the homepage. Check everyone.”

At the words of cadet Yoo Ji-woong, who is nicknamed “Bul-gu” Because he is usually good at lying, the other children got annoyed and checked their smart watches.

I was ignoring it because I wanted to lie again, but belatedly manipulated the smart watch when another cadet said, “Oh, it’s true.”

When I checked by accessing the homepage, the tier table was disclosed as the mouthpiece said.

[Tier 1]

Na-Rae Kang, Kang Han-Woo, Kim Go-Yuk, Kim Yuk-Soo, Kim Ji-Cheol, Kim Cheong-Woon, Kim Tak-Gu, Ko Soo-Young, Gu Myung-Han, Mo Ye-Ji, Mo Min-Hyung, Park Jeong-Pal, Woo Do-Ji, Woo Sang-Hyang, Uyuna, Yoo Seong-Won, Yoo Ji-Woong, Yun Sam-Won, Eun Seon-Gon, Eun Seong-chae, Lee Mi-re, Lim Jun-won, Jeon Byeong-hun, Jeon Jeon-hwan, Cho Pan-seung, Choi Ji-seong, Pyo Hang-woo, Ha Yeon-si, Han Gu-tak, Han Park-cheol, Han Cheol-woo.

[Tier 2]

Kang Byeong-hoon, Kim Soo-han, Kim Jun-seung, Kim Tak-cheong, Park Hang-soo, Yoon Dol…….

[Tier 3]

Kim Yu-jin, Kim Woong-jin, Kim Yun-ha, Kim Seong, Kim Ji-soo, Kim Ho-young, Moon Ho-cheol, Mun Ji-hwan, Seo Jun-han, Seong Kim…

[Tier 4]

…

[Tier 5]

…

Tier 1 is about 10% out of 300 people. Tier 2 is allocated about 20%, Tier 3 is 30%, Tier 4 is again 30%, and Tier 5 is 10%.

Of course I belonged to Tier 1.

When I checked, Choi Ji-seong, Han Cheol-woo, Yoo Seong-won, Ha Yeon-si, Mo Ye-ji, Uyuna, and Go Soo-young were all tier 1, of course.

I’ll have to avoid them and apply for a match.

I thought about fighting by avoiding them, considering the performance of the main characters. There is no reason to limit opponents to the same class as all freshman cadets are competitors in the competition evaluation. So you should choose a tier 1 opponent from another class.

Then let’s point out.

Now that the tier table is out, you can apply for a match through the computer system. While operating the smart watch with such thoughts, a request for a match suddenly came.

[Tier 1 Cadet Yoo Seong-won pointed at you.]

Yoo Seong-won?

Wow, look at this.

[Tier 1 cadet Choi Ji-seong pointed at you.]

[Tier 1 cadet Han Cheol-woo pointed at you.]

[Tier 1 cadet Ha Yeon-shi pointed at you.]

[Tier 1 cadet Uyuna pointed at you.]

[Tier 1 cadet Pyo Hang-woo pointed at you.]

[Tier 1 cadet Park Jeong-pal pointed at you.]

No, what kind of party am I?

I click my tongue because I am dumbfounded, but the place names keep coming. Not only Tier 1, but also Tier 2 and Tier 3 cadets received nominations.

There’s nothing you can do about it.

If you refuse the nomination, victory points will be deducted. So you can’t refuse.

He doesn’t even look for a place to lie down and stretches his legs first.

I have accepted all the battle requests sent to me.
