“Lee Do-yoon! Who is Lee Do-yoon!”
“me.”
“We have a pyromancer, a rigid body magician, and an electric magician. Do you want to team up? All three need to have at least 30% B-class.”
“Anyone want to bring a top tier venomous wizard? It would be nice to have a high-level body magician.”
“Hey, you know my name, right? I got an 88 on the comprehensive hunting science test this time… … .”
“25% of Class B is missing!”
“I’m a explorer type body magician! I also got 7th place in the mobile marksmanship competition earlier.”
“… … Come and see for now!”
The competition to select the crew members was extremely fierce.
“We are looking for a blood magician! We are looking for a blood magician! We pray that the blood magician will come to us!”
“What, why are you going that far?”
If the scout fails to reconnaissance, the entire group will be ambushed.
If the frontline body caster fails to defend, the telekinesis or elemental caster in the back will be reduced to a lump of meat.
If the psychic or elementalist in the back makes a mistake, the body caster and explorer in the front will become food for the demons.
Shinseoul is a place where you can actually enter the gate and learn how to catch the devil.
Group projects weren’t about grades or feelings, they were about life and death.
“I. Am here.”
“Thank you. I’ll find the last member, so please wait a moment.”
Jinrim came and sat down next to Sega as promised.
Sega nodded, then moved his sword left and right.
‘Lee Si-won, who was in second place, will go himself.’
I walked towards the first-ranked flame wizard, Tuesday.
But unfortunately, she was already talking to two other students.
If it was a reaction he didn’t like, it would have been worth taking advantage of his and Jinrim’s reputation, but his expression was so bright that it seemed like he had already gotten over it.
The third-ranked psychotronic, Yeodosol, was forming a group with herself as the leader.
Jin Yu-oh, the 4th ranked lightning wizard, was being persuaded by that female wizard.
“Okay. Let’s give it a try!”
“Let’s go all the way!”
In an instant, the groups were created.
‘This is difficult.’
Even when I went to see Lee Si-won, the situation didn’t seem very good.
Throughout the industry, psychic and elemental magicians were more rare than body magicians.
At the same time, at this very beginning of the semester, there are literally only a handful of decent psychic or elementalist students.
“A bodybuilder only receives 10% or more of Grade A!”
“Me!”
“No, me!”
They had immense power and could choose the shamans who would protect them.
‘I could join a different group, but I don’t want to abandon Jinrim and Gyeom, who I get along well with. If I force myself to live in a group without taking the initiative, my true identity could be revealed. Let’s make a calm decision.’
I told you that I would rather die here than here.
Sega muttered to himself and calmly analyzed the situation.
‘There are almost no groups with 4 people yet. There are a few places where people gather, but the competition is fierce there.’
‘Surprisingly, the exploration doesn’t last long. There’s a time limit, and since you haven’t taken many classes yet, there are many cases where you don’t really know your own abilities and those of your opponents. It feels like you just go along after looking at the characteristics and aptitude values.’
‘Overall, the upper-middle ranks are quickly coming together. On the other hand, I’m watching the top ranks like Kang Joo-hyuk and Moo Myeong-jun, who can intervene at any time. There are no ones who are pushing ahead first.’
‘I don’t need to look at the vanguard series’ psychic, explorer, or support positions since I’ve already found them. I’m only looking for psychic or pyromancer with strong firepower. However, I’ve already taken away the firepower… ‘
Sega made a decision.
With 60 students moving around in a complex manner.
I just looked at one place and walked out with brisk strides.
“Three. Us and-.”
“Sorry. Let’s talk later.”
Some students tried to stop him and speak to him urgently, but he gently turned them away and told them to talk later.
His target was only one person.
‘There it is.’
Sega calmly approached her, adjusting his clothes.
* * *
“… … !”
“… … . … … !”
“… … ! … … . … … .”
While everyone was busy running around looking for assistants.
She sat proudly among the top ranks.
As if he had come to another world alone, as if this petty competition for assistants was no problem to him, he crossed his arms and legs and indifferently observed what was happening.
“excuse me…….”
“go away.”
A few students tried to approach her, but were kicked out without being able to say anything.
The test scores, the aptitude test scores, and the behavior of the children in the class so far.
Because none of them caught her eye.
Sega approached her like that.
“Joo Da-hyun.”
1st place in class 1.
“I am Jeong Se-ga.”
All subjects scored in the 90s.
From the Maseok conglomerate ‘Ivory Tower’.
The strongest 1st year psychokinesis user, whose awakening aptitude level is hidden.
Kang Joo-hyuk, who created the largest faction in class 1 with his unique charisma, model Jun, who was noted for his outstanding grades and sincerity, and Iljin Rim, the pinnacle of mobile marksmanship, were all now beneath her.
He is the successor to the Maseok conglomerate Ivory Tower.
The only daughter of Dr. Joo Myeong-hwan, who created the Maseok vaporization station.
A telekinesis wizard who can handle hundreds of bullets.
Sega thought that only she would be suitable next to ‘S-class 78% status quo’.
‘I’m crazy.’
No one would have thought that the martial artist next to Joo Da-hyun would have enrolled undercover.
“really?”
“uh?”
The surrounding students started to chatter when they saw the two.
“Three, three!”
Gyeom, who had run all the way here, shook his head with twitching pupils.
The reason why she, who is more powerful than anyone else, was not ranked first in the recruitment rankings is because recruiting her was considered meaningless in many ways.
“No. The situation is the same, but it’s Joo Da-hyun. Don’t you remember the mobile marksmanship class? When you handled hundreds of bullets? She’s already a pro.”
“Then what should I do? Joo Da-hyun, she was late for the entrance ceremony the day before yesterday because of the prosecutor’s investigation. Why is Jeong Se-ga… … .”
Dr. Koo Joo-myeong is suspected of murder.
The main character in the murder case that heated up South Korea the most since the Gaemun Incident.
With her background as a conglomerate and her unique good looks, she was the subject of countless media trolls.
Regardless of his abilities, his reputation was at rock bottom, and in fact, even now, all kinds of gossip is being heard.
No matter how strong a member was, it meant nothing to him if he didn’t know when he would be expelled.
Amidst countless commotions shaking the classroom.
Sega gestured towards Kyeom and expressed his intention to do it on his own.
The reason he stood in front of Joo Da-hyun was not simply for camouflage.
‘He blew up two students in a mobile marksmanship class and it ended without much of a fuss. That means he still has some influence left.’
‘I know that the first generation is all close. If it’s Dr. Joo Myung-hwan, he must have been close with the professors at Shin Seoul. If Joo Da-hyun really killed him, there’s no way the professors at Shin Seoul would have accepted it. At least Joo Da-hyun won’t be expelled.’
There was no reason for him not to be with Joo Da-hyun in this situation.
reputation?
Sega saw a punk selling drugs get an S-class aptitude score of 78%.
‘If you want to become a successful hunter, there’s no reason you can’t go together.’
He asked softly, lowering his voice.
“Would you like to join our group?”
Dahyun answered with an indifferent expression like a porcelain doll.
“Get out. Don’t think that you’re already close just because I said thank you once.”
Sega spoke firmly and forcefully this time.
“I will protect you.”
“!”
Her eyes seemed to waver for a moment.
But soon, as if it were not the same, her pink lips curled up in a sour manner.
“You me?”
“I’ll protect you from everything. I promise. I’ll succeed, I’ll survive here no matter what, and as long as I’m alive here, I’ll stand in your way. Because you’re Joo Da-hyun.”
Because I’m the strongest telekinesis user in the first year.
Sega spoke with emphasis on each syllable.
The students around me who had overheard glared at me as if to ask if I had heard them correctly.
To be honest, it was an unfamiliar thing to say.
It seemed like a lot of bluffing.
But the opponent was Jeong Se-ga.
Dahyun frowned nicely.
“That’s not something you should say when you first meet someone. You’re being really rude right now. If you’re going to brag about being an S-class 78%, do it somewhere else. Before I split your head open.”
Sega shrugged his shoulders as if he knew nothing.
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? Isn’t it natural for a telekinesis to protect a telekinesis based on their positions?”
“what?”
Joo Da-hyun and the surrounding students made bewildered expressions at the same time.
‘Joo Da-hyun always went alone. She would like it if I told her in a way that made her feel human and trustworthy.’
* * *
‘Why do you make a useless sound.’
Joo Da-hyun looked up at Jeong Se-ga, gritting her teeth internally.
His broad shoulders, blue eyes, and confident smile stole everyone’s attention.
An expression that only a strong person who has nothing left to do but continue to prosper can make.
An expression she once had.
She admitted with a bitter tone.
‘… … As you can see from the physical training and mobile marksmanship classes, he is indeed a skilled man. I can trust him if he takes charge of me.’
‘I’m confident I can get good grades even with mediocre kids, but there are too many talented kids in this class. I have to become the best, too.’
She had her own thoughts too.
Joo Da-hyun planned to maintain her position as number one in class 1 no matter what, and furthermore, aim for number one in the entire first year.
However, this class had too many talented people, like Jeong Se-ga, Kang Joo-hyuk, Lee Si-won, and Moo Myeong-jun, who could rise to prominence at any time.
Of course, she was an all-powerful telekinesis.
I was confident that I could suppress whatever an ignorant body caster or a single-talented ice caster did.
However, Kang Joo-hyuk succeeded in bringing in Hwa-yo, a pyromancer with a range no less than Da-hyun, and Yoo Sang-ah, a psychic with a promising future, to his group.
‘Comprehensive hunting studies is an important class, and more than anything, it’s a chance to become close to Ina again. I’m desperate, too.’
If you look at each of them individually, they are no match for her, but if they join forces, it’s a different story.
It was even more unstable if it was a competition between teams, led by an outstanding martial artist named Kang Joo-hyuk.
Her reputation, which has been rock bottom, also contributed to the pessimistic outlook.
Her confidence came not from the fact that she could pull off any given challenge, but from the fact that she could find good crew members.
In that situation, the situation came first.
I won against Kang Joo-hyuk in the martial arts class.
He also showed off his skills in mobile marksmanship classes.
I don’t know what will happen to the sword technique of the swordsman, the flower of the swordsman, but if it continues to grow like this, it is not a bad vanguard.
Moreover, at first glance, it seemed like they had already brought in a gunslinger who appeared to be a blood magician.
If there was one downside to her being ignorant of the hunter industry, it was one she was able to overcome.
Above all, she was not in a normal mental state right now.
‘Those damn bastards. I’m going to kill you all someday. How dare you, how dare you look at me like that?’
She was being ignored by all 1,200 people, and her roommates were also being pushed and shoved.
In that situation, it was natural for my heart to lean towards Sega, who approached me first and said he would protect me without worrying about what other people thought.
‘What are you talking about all of a sudden? Isn’t it natural for a telekinesis to protect a telekinesis based on their positions?’
He deliberately misled himself and revealed that he had done so.
It felt dirty because it seemed like he was playing around with me as I wanted.
In other words, it was an expression of his will to get his hands on her by any means necessary.
‘If the situation is right, you could probably save other psychokinesis or pyromancers. The fact that you came to me means you want the best. That’s right. You want to beat Kang Joo-hyuk, Lee Si-won, and Moo Byeong-jun, too.’
Joo Da-hyun raised her head after a long period of thought.
Centered around the black pupil, the pale crimson iris sparkled with a deep light.
“You promised. Protect me from everything, survive here no matter what, and succeed, and block my path as long as you live.”
She stood up, uncrossing her legs.
Jeong Se-ga smiled confidently and held out his hand.
“Of course. Let’s go together.”
Dahyun hesitated for a moment and then grabbed Sega’s hand.
It was the moment when the strongest psychic in the first year entered Sega’s group.
