Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist - Chapter 97
Episode 97. Unrecovered area (3)
There was only one person blocking the front of the vehicle.
Her clothes were tattered, and her face was bowed down so her expression could not be seen.
“Yaya! Doyoon Kim! Who carelessly sticks out his head. I want to follow you!”
Sung Hyuk-soo yelled at me, not knowing how he knew I had stuck my head out of the window.
Instead of meekly sticking my head in, I showed my natural instincts.
[Activates ‘Sense Control’.]
[The visual acuity is greatly enhanced.]
[The hearing is greatly strengthened.]
[The sense of smell is greatly strengthened.]
Since the opponent was quite far away, I first expanded my field of view and observed it closely.
‘It’s not a normal human complexion. furthermore.’
According to the information transmitted by ear afterwards, the opponent was not breathing at all. Where is that? Most decisively, I felt an unbearable stench from the other person.
You can’t smell like this simply because you haven’t washed it. It was clearly the smell of something rotting.
“Hunter. Could that be the undead Hunter-nim said?”
“Kim Do-yoon! First of all, points are deducted for failing to follow the instructions of the person in charge of leading… … .”
Before Sung Hyuk-soo’s words were finished. An unidentified person who had blocked the vehicle’s path from a distance suddenly started running away.
“Huh? what is that! Why are you so fast?”
I couldn’t help but be a bit surprised when I saw it.
‘The undead move so quickly?’
According to the information collected through sense control, the opponent was most likely not a living person. Even so, it ran at such an unbelievable speed.
If the undead were hit, this was a problem to be considered quite seriously. It meant that the power of the undead soldiers of the Necromancer, the ambition that the Septagrams had hoped for, would be stronger than expected.
“Damn it. I feel like I want to chase after you… … .”
Seong Hyuk-soo slurred his words, then clicked his tongue and put himself back into the car. After the figure of the presumed undead disappeared, I returned to the car, organizing my thoughts.
“Kim Do-yoon. If I do another unauthorized personal action like before, then I know there will be no soup.”
“Then I’ll make up for it with the information I just got.”
“what? What information?”
“The person who was standing in front of the road earlier and ran away. Certainly not a living person.”
At those words, the atmosphere in the car subsided.
Sung Hyuk-soo’s eyes narrowed.
“How can you be so sure?”
“A part of my nature is the ability to raise the five senses. With it, we investigated by improving sight, hearing, and smell.”
The information I got from this. stench and bad complexion. And I let him know that I couldn’t hear my breathing.
“There was quite a distance, but you figured it all out?”
“If you have any doubts, you can prove it yourself.”
“No, it is. Because I noticed the same thing as you. I’m pretty sure the guy I just met is the undead in those rumors.”
“So what are you going to do next?”
Sung Hyuk-soo looked out the window with his arms crossed.
“What? The exam will continue as scheduled.”
“Would it be okay? that undead. The behavior was obviously erratic.”
“What if it’s weird? It’s as if you’re asking me to follow you. Unless the brain is udon-sari, where is the idiot who follows it straight away… Write. You have to be careful with your words. Whoa. You shouldn’t swear in front of students, but this keeps popping up because of my habit. anyway!”
His point was this.
Rather than ignorantly following them like this, let’s wait for their further actions. If it appeared for a different purpose, they would approach it one more time. Seong Hyuk-soo said he would aim for that time.
“Undead? Did that really exist?”
“What is there to be surprised about? It’s an era where nothing is impossible with the power of nature. If you come across something trivial, you just have to beat it up.”
“Since he’s already dead, I don’t have to touch him when I meet him, right? Rather good?”
The reaction of the students was generally positive. Is it because they are all male students?
“I hate the undead… . ugh… … .”
Among them, Shin So-ra, the only female student, seemed to shrink.
After all, he thought that he would need to prescribe a special medicine later. It would be embarrassing if the most reliable tanker among the crew came out like this.
***
Day 7 of the Meteor Shower Trials.
As it is integrated with the 8th and 9th days, this test will be spent 2 nights and 3 days sleeping in an unrecovered area. The first thing we did was build a base camp.
“It’s Sora. You are resting in a shady place over there. Leave this to my older brothers.”
“Tell me whenever you feel thirsty. I’ll get you a drink!”
From nob le mt l. com
Just as expected. Shin So-ra was receiving special treatment regardless of her classmates and seniors in line with her characteristic of being a Hong Il-jeom.
“Looks like you have a lot to do, okay? Even though I look thin on the outside, I am quite strong, right?”
“It’s strong, so I’m telling you to save it. When a crisis comes, you have to do your best as a tank, right?”
In addition, she was pretty, so the treatment was almost at the level of serving a princess.
In contrast, I
“Kim Do-yoon! You should hold on tighter! A boy can’t give me strength other than that? If you do that, it will be difficult to erect the tent poles!”
“Are you playing minuscule? uh? If you are a first year student, you should clean up the materials scattered over there. Can’t you see everyone is busy with their own work?”
“If you don’t have anything to do, just stand there and get coffee! If you have nothing to do, make it!”
“What is this coffee? The powder didn’t dissolve properly! Can’t you see the coffee beans floating around? Don’t you know that the taste deteriorates like this?”
I was suffering from the so-called ‘reckoning’. I was impatient because everyone was in concert and forcibly bullied me. Even Seong Hyuk-soo, who leads this group, secretly encourages action.
I didn’t waver. At times like this, the poker face was more important.
‘I’ve been subjected to harsher acts than this in my military days. Compared to that, this level of thirst is child’s play.’
As the times got better, it didn’t take long to build a base camp.
A tent for conducting missions. A tent for male students to sleep together and a tent for one person prepared separately for Shin So-ra. It even has a shower room and a kitchen. This entire preparation process took only about 30 minutes.
“ruler. From now on, I will brief you on your mission through a holographic map. Everyone pay attention.”
Inside the mission command room.
Sung Hyuk-soo gathered all the students together and began to inform them of the goal of this exam through a hologram map.
The first thing I heard was that our goal was to wipe out the medium-sized monster room ‘Pansy Golem’.
Sung Hyuk-soo pointed to a part of the map with a stick and said.
“Recently this area. I’ll arbitrarily call it Area A. Anyway, the number of pansy golems in Area A has increased. Because of this, other monsters who were pushed out of the territorial battle with these guys are flowing into the downtown area.”
“You’re not just catching them for the test, are you?”
Sung Hyuk-soo clicked his tongue at a student’s question.
“No matter how much it is called Monstrum, you can’t just hold onto it or do that. Just like there is a hunting license, there is also a hunting license for catching monsters. Do you know why?”
“Is something big going on?”
“then. Somebody in the past There was an incident where he went to an unrecovered area without permission while broadcasting live on the Internet to show off his power. I didn’t even think about it and just poked the hive, what happened? The bees got mad and came to the city center, causing a catastrophe.”
There were no people here who did not know that the bee was not really a bee, but a metaphor for Monstrum. That’s because those stupid enough to drop out right away.
“What we have to do is head to this area and get rid of any Pansy Golems we see.”
“okay. Even if it’s a real battle, someone will have to risk their lives, and that’s not going to happen. They’re hot-tempered and have strong mettle, but they’re sluggish in their movements. If we match each other well, we can defeat them with your own strength.”
The active area of pansy golems marked on the map was roughly half the size of Seoul.
I looked at the map carefully and was lost in thought.
‘wait. Pansy Golem. A pansy golem… … .’
I didn’t know anything about him. The only thing I cared about was the area in which that pansy golem was active. It seemed that there was some important information about the field where the Pansy Golem appeared.
Seong Hyuk-soo continued to explain what it was while he was recalling it because his memory was fuzzy.
“You don’t have to worry about going out of your realm without knowing. The body cam badge has GPS capabilities. If it gets out of range, it will automatically warn you in the form of a status window.”
“That is fortunate.”
“But you know that being careless is prohibited, right? If you go out on an expedition, be sure to come back to this base camp before the sun goes down. The reason why the night is dangerous is nothing more than nagging, so you don’t have to say anything. There is also an SOS function on the body cam badge. Your own life is important, so in an emergency, don’t be proud and use it.”
“ah.”
At that moment, a small exclamation escaped from my mouth without my knowledge. Even though it was a fairly low voice, everyone’s eyes were focused on it because the atmosphere was calm.
“Kim Do-yoon. Do you have anything to say?”
From nob le mt l. com
Jeong Gyu-min, who was standing next to Seong Hyuk-soo, asked as the representative.
It was an exclamation of exclamation after barely remembering what information was related to that pansy golem field. I couldn’t say that, so I decided to cover it up.
“Come to think of it, I think I haven’t decided on a leader. You have to decide who will give the order, right?”
Seong Hyuk-soo and Jeong Kyu-min are in a position where they cannot get deeply involved in the exam as they are in charge of leading and teaching assistants. In other words, it is purely the students how to plan and plan this schedule. It was up to the test participants.
If you show outstanding performance, you can get a big bonus point, but if you show a halfway figure, you can eat a big deduction. So-called high risk high return. Because that was the position of a leader.
“If I were to be the leader, I would be a suitable person as a senior in the third year.”
“What bullsh*t. I’m in third grade too?”
“Seniors. Shouldn’t it be based on skills rather than jockeys here?”
A student who was interested in scores rushed forward to become a leader.
“Kim Do-yoon.”
“yes?”
As I was watching the situation, Jeong Gyu-min started talking to me again.
“Why do you stay quiet when you mentioned the leader first?”
“Ugh. Everyone just brought it up because no one mentioned it.”
“In other words, are you not interested in being a leader?”
Actually, I originally planned to be the leader.
‘That was until I remembered that there is a hidden stash in this pansy golem field.’
Hidden Stash.
If you don’t know what I mean, think of the treasure chests you find while playing RPG games.
One of the must-have RPGs. where am i I knew what would come out of it. Because I was originally a Psychic Age player.
“I just want to focus on my work.”
To do this, it was necessary to give up prominent roles like leaders. Even if it was a bit unfortunate, the items that could be obtained from the Pansy Golem Field were worth it.
Among them, the three students who said they would be leaders agreed to decide through a majority vote who had the most outstanding qualities as leaders while taking turns for three hours a day today.
“Now then, I wish the contestants good luck. I’ll be supervising near you, so show off your cool side.”
And finally.
We went to the base camp to catch Pansy Golem in earnest.
From nob le mt l. com
Jeong Kyu-min also glanced at Shin So-ra and seemed to want to follow, but he couldn’t. Because we needed the minimum number of people to protect the base camp.
“I see it over there!”
The first encounter with Pansy Golem didn’t take long.
“Everyone just do what you learned from Signal!”
A male student who served as the leader for the first time. In response to his shout, who introduced himself as Jin Do-hyun, the members of the group moved in perfect order.
Kiooo! oh oh oh oh!
The Pansy Golem struggled violently.
It looked like a chimpanzee, the size of an elephant, and the skin was as hard and rough as stone.
“Keugh!”
Grrr!
The moment I allowed the attack with his swinging hand, not only the heavy shock, but also the rough skin caused large and small scratches.
“Tanks! Don’t try to block it ignorantly! You have to spill it!”
The earth shook and the air shook.
Some students feel the overwhelming feeling of the guy that comes from his massive body. In particular, it was enough to make first-year students with little practical experience shrink.
even.
Kang! Caang! Less!
Attacks that entered the game either bounced off the Pansy Golem’s upper skin or failed to deliver a proper effective hit.
“This guy. The defense is almost as good as Smile Deal!”
“Did you compare it to the fake made at the training ground and sit down! That’s the real Monster Room!”
problem here.
How to attack Pansy Golem?
‘Because it wasn’t until the day of the test that I told you which monster to defeat. Everyone must have not prepared properly.’
There are tens of thousands of types of monsters. Pansy Golem was one of the lesser-known entities, along with Smiledilo.
Because of that, the team members’ attack method is literally the pinnacle of standard. It wasn’t that it was bad, but there was no way to achieve zero efficiency.
‘What time do I catch it like this?’
Goo gooo goo… .
Around 20 minutes after the battle started. Our group was finally able to defeat the first Pansy Golem.
“Huh. omg!”
“Finally defeated!”
Cheers broke out among some first-year students.
but.
[It’s too early to like it. kids.]
A voice poured cold water on the atmosphere. It was Seong Hyuk-soo’s radio transmission from the body cam badge.
[Do you know how many Pansy Golems you have to defeat? It’s not exact, but I’m guessing over a thousand?]
Only one in 20 minutes. The period given to us was 2 nights and 3 days. It was said that bonus points were given depending on how many enemies were defeated within the period.
“Are we too slow?”
No one answered the muttering of one member of the group. Instead, Jin Do-hyeon, who was in charge of the leader, asked Sung Hyuk-soo.
“Hunter. Can you tell me how the other group is going?”
[hmm. As for the fastest group, it took me about 3 minutes to take down one in the first fight. It’s not the same Monstrum as you guys. The types that are troublesome to defeat are all the same.]
3 minutes and 20 minutes. The complexion of the members was rotten at the huge gap that was embarrassing to compare.
Now it was my turn to go.
“Senior Jin Do-hyun. How about trying to attack the golem in my own way starting from the next golem?”
“What are you going to do with your firearm? You haven’t been very active before.”
That’s because I watched it with my hands in part.
First, I had to make them aware that the enemy was not easy. That way, my performance and uniqueness can stand out even more.
In such a group life, in order to be recognized by someone, you have to show off your teeth well. It would be a very complacent judgment to think that they will silently recognize that they work hard.
“The strategy I am thinking of doesn’t match the current strategy.”
“Don’t be shy, just stay still, right? No matter how good you were in the previous test, that guy doesn’t work. It’s a situation that requires pure force. You know because you just met, right?”
I’m going to ignore the opinion altogether. If it came out like this, I also had an idea.
“Shall I be honest with you? If I put my mind to it, I can defeat Pansy Golem by myself. It won’t be very effective, but roughly… . Can you shorten the time by 5 times compared to the previous attack?”
At those words, the members of the crew who had always treated me badly sent me evil glances.
thud! thud!
From nob le mt l. com
Just in time, additional pansy golems started approaching, probably because we caused a commotion while fighting the pansy golem. This time it was two.
From nob le mt l. com
Jin Do-hyeon looked at him and smiled.
“Good. If you’re that good, would you like to take care of that one by yourself this time?”
When a normal person shows confidence like this, they might be suspicious and say, ‘Isn’t that really what it is?’ Jin Do-hyeon thought I was simply bluffing, so he sent me a provocation.
“You’d better be prepared for that. If it proves to be less efficient than defeating me alone… … .”
There’s nothing more embarrassing than that.
