“Let’s go. Check the radio carefully.”
“huh.”
Kyeom jumped up and down a couple of times to relieve his tension.
And like the other explorers, I jumped up onto the roof of the abandoned factory on the right.
Percussion!
Occupying the high ground was a basic of the basics.
“Segas. In front of me, Jinrim. Behind me. Kyeom. Can’t you see anything yet?”
Dahyun was quite good at forming a formation and preparing the Yeomdong Matan in advance.
[I can’t see anything yet. I can’t smell anything or hear anything. For now, there’s nothing in this abandoned factory. There’s nothing on our left either. I’ll go towards the villa.]
“check.”
Kyeom spoke over the radio, and Sega pulled out the sword he had registered in advance from his waistband.
‘Right now, I have no choice but to trust in humility.’
Kyeom ran across the roof of the factory, and Sega followed the path Kyeom took, his nerves tense.
My body trembled every time I saw the shadows of buildings, abandoned cars, and dead trees.
I turned a corner and saw a few villas ahead.
Group 2 of the model group failed here.
Kyeom was standing at the very front of the villa.
At that moment, Kyeom picked up the radio.
[Found it.]
Dahyun asked urgently.
“Where are you? Where? Tell me exactly.”
[I’m in the underground parking lot of the building on the left from my perspective right now. I don’t think they found me yet. No. They haven’t found me.]
Sega, Jinrim, and Dahyun nodded at the same time.
“Go.”
Sega stepped forward, his sword wrapped in a bright blue aura.
“The salt mine is ready.”
Dahyun took a few steps back and prepared additional Yeomdong Matan.
“I’ve prepared a smoke grenade. And a blood flow grenade.”
Jinrim loaded a smoke grenade into the grenade launcher.
[If Sega moves, I’ll go down too. There won’t be two Minotaurs here.]
He is ready to support Sega, armed with a ceramic knife and a submachine gun.
Originally, it was the job of a explorer to be on the lookout for other demons approaching, but now was an exception.
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Jeong Se-ga walked, feeling his heart pounding and beads of sweat running down his temples.
Iljinrim lowered his sunglasses with his right hand and held out a submachine gun with a grenade launcher attached.
“Come on, let’s have fun.”
pop!
A smoke bomb was fired into the underground parking lot.
Saaaaah!
A thick smoke screen spread out.
The small-headed monster roared loudly as it realized that it was being attacked.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”
Sega immediately charged forward, cutting through the smoke.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared, but I’d come too far to stay still.
“ha!”
Only the blue light of the black flag shone clearly through the thick smoke.
‘Let’s cut off the head at once.’
Because the smoke screen obscured the bastard’s entire body, I wasn’t overwhelmed.
“!”
The Minotaur, who had discovered Sega a moment too late, swung the road sign he was holding in his hand.
Boohoo!
The road signs, which were metal plates on top of iron poles, were like axes that could cut through bones if they brushed against the average person.
Sega slashed his sword and clashed with the Minotaur.
wickedness!
The bright blue sword cut through the road sign like tofu, and blew off the Minotaur’s two fingers along with it.
Fire, fire! Fire!
The Minotaur howled and stomped backwards, with black flames flying from its cross-section.
“Whoa!”
thud!
Its hooves left deep ruts in the concrete, and the Minotaur dove into the path leading down to the underground parking lot.
A pair of red eyes flashed from inside the smoke-filled downhill slope.
“Good job, Sega! I’ll catch you now!”
Joo Da-hyun cheered as if she had already won.
Iljinrim prepared both the blood flow bullet and the machine gun, and Lee Gyeom-do jumped down from the roof of the building on the other side and ran towards us.
Joo Da-hyun fired dozens of pyrotechnic bullets into the air.
Her partially dyed crimson hair fluttered.
Woohoo!
To Sega, whose telekinesis was visible, it was a firepower that could blow up an entire building in front of him.
At that moment, the Minotaur leaped forward like a flash of lightning.
bang!
“Whoaaaaaaa-!”
A shout filled with black magic shook the air.
In an instant, all four of them froze, and a 3-meter-tall monster rushed out of the underground parking lot.
“go away!”
Sega swung his sword again to block it, but the Minotaur leaped up in front of Sega, kicking the ground.
bang!
His movements were incredibly agile, despite his size.
wickedness!
Meanwhile, Sega’s sword reflexively raised cut off the tip of the tail.
“Get out.”
Doo doo doo doo!
Iljinrim aimed for the eyes and fired his machine gun.
However, the Minotaur blocked the bullet with his severed right hand.
The bullet did not penetrate deeply, although the leather was torn and blood spurted out.
Joo Da-hyun was startled and tried to surround the station master, but the Minotaur charged straight towards Lee Gyeom.
“Huh? Me?”
The brown-haired boy’s face turned pale.

Final time: 2 minutes 3 seconds.
Overall Rating: F?
Group 8 all climbed the stairs half-conscious.
“Ha, I didn’t know you could recognize a gun and stop it. Is this what it means to be intelligent?”
Iljinrim chewed a tranquilizer cigarette while mocking himself.
“I should have hit the stationmaster.”
Joo Da-hyun clenched her teeth and stamped her feet as if she was angry.
“Can’t the explorer avoid this? What kind of dog is this?”
Lee Gyeom bowed his head deeply.
“… … .”
Jeong Se-ga reached out his hand to Iljin-rim without saying a word.
chuck.
Iljinrim handed over a sedative fake cigarette, and Jeongse followed Iljinrim and chewed on it.
It had no taste whatsoever.
When I came up the stairs and returned to the auditorium, the students of Class 1 were cheering.
“Wow!”
“I got it! I really got it.”
“It was a perfectly legitimate method.”
Of course, it wasn’t a compliment directed at Group 8.
When I looked at the screen, Kang Joo-hyuk’s group 4 was standing there.
?Mock match success
Capture time: 2 minutes 2 seconds.
Total attack amount: 100%
Remaining health: 97%
First Death: None.
Final time: 3 minutes 8 seconds.
Overall Rating: A?
The blond Kang Joo-hyuk raised the Minotaur’s head to the sky and roared.
Joo Da-hyun gritted her teeth at the sight.
“Sega.”
The situation was such that I felt something twisted inside my heart.
“Yeah. I have to keep my pride.”
The image was an image, but I also had a desire to succeed.
Iljinrim’s teeth chattered.
“Let’s definitely win.”
The four headed straight to the conference room and reviewed the operation.
Joo Da-hyun looked back at the video of Group 8 and analyzed the situation.
“There’s no problem as long as the corpse hunter is looking for it, Iljinrim is shooting, and Sega is rushing in.”
Iljinrim frowned.
“Me and Kyeom, we’re too close. We don’t have the physical strength to fight the Minotaur in close combat yet. Our unconscious attempts to gather together were the cause of our defeat.”
“Okay. This time, make sure to keep your distance. I’ve confirmed that Sega’s swordsmanship works. That should be enough.”
Group 8 went down alone once again.
[We will begin the mock match.]
This time the Minotaur was hiding in the villa parking lot, not at the entrance to the underground parking lot.
“Let’s go!”
This time too, there was no problem with Kyeom looking for him, Jinrim shooting, and Sega charging forward.
But the problem started when Sega started overwhelming Minotaur.
“Whoaaaaaaaaaa-!”
The Minotaur let out a roar of magical power, briefly tying up Sega, before charging towards Ikkeum and Iljinrim.
“Eeeeek! This is driving me crazy!”
Dahyun’s psychokinesis bullet was powerful enough to pierce through a building, but even Jinrim, who was both a body magician and a blood magician, could not keep up with the demon’s hand with his eyes.
“I’ve heard many times that humanoid demons are dirty to catch… … but I didn’t know it would be this bad. I never imagined that the demons would run away.”
Jeong Se-ga stuck out his tongue.
“If it was just a big beast, I would have caught it a long time ago.”
Iljinrim let out a sigh.
“Actually, that’s why we use Hunters. If we want to catch that thing with the military, we’ll either have to bring in hundreds of tanks and make a fireball, or we’ll have to blow up this whole neighborhood. Should we do that too?”
Lee Gyeom muttered as if he had been liberated.
It was already the third operation time.
Joo Da-hyun glared at Lee Gyeom and Il Jin-rim, her eyes sparkling.
“How many times do I have to tell you to back off! Back off further! Further!”
“You’ve fallen far enough. And if you leave too much distance, he’ll shake off Sega and go around the building!”
“Who is this corpse talking back to!”
“I knew this would happen.”
Finally, the emotional battle begins.
“Blow it?”
Sega raised its head.
“uh?”
“what?”
Gyeom and Jinrim looked back at Sega, and Sega looked at Dahyun, who was on the verge of death from anger.
“It just occurred to me.”
* * *
[Found it. Same as the first time, underground parking lot. We didn’t see it this time either. Send it up to Iljinrim.]
This gentleman sent a radio message.
“check.”
Joo Da-hyun answered, and Il-jin-rim jumped from terrace to terrace and went up to the roof of a villa.
After Sega confirmed that Iljinrim and Lee Gyeom had taken their places, he drew his sword.
‘I’m starting to feel dizzy.’
I had already pulled out my sword several times, but my magical power was running low.
I had to finish it this time.
“It starts.”
Joo Da-hyun announced the start with a fresh voice.
Woohoo!
She launched dozens of pyrotechnic bullets into the air.
This was the plan that Sega came up with.
‘Let’s just pour out the salt water from the beginning.’
‘Without even knowing the exact location? If you did that in real life, you’d be on the front page of the newspaper.’
‘It’s not like a crowded city center was given as a background for the performance evaluation. It’s a ruined town anyway, so wouldn’t it be okay to destroy one building or so?’
First, Joo Da-hyun pours out a salt bomb to destroy the building, and then Jeong Se-ga kills Masu, who is injured and enraged by being crushed by the rubble, with his sword.
Whack-! Whack-! Whack-!
Sega’s eyes saw blue masses of magical energy moving across the atmosphere.
It was a terrifying force no matter when I saw it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The salt mine fell like a bunker buster, smashing through the roof of the underground parking lot.
Concrete blocks and bricks rained down.
“Whoaaaa?!”
The giant Minotaur flailed around, letting out a terrified roar.
Large pieces of brick and concrete fell, hitting the monster’s shoulders and back.
bang!
One of the Minotaur’s spears landed hard, crushing half of his leg.
“Whoa!”
The monster limped out of the underground parking lot.
At that moment, Sega, who had been hiding next to a nearby junk car, kicked the ground.
‘Let’s finish it in one go.’
The rookie hunter who wanted to become a genius kicked the ground and released a blast of black energy at the same time.
Clear, 5m.
Tsukaaaaak-!
Against the backdrop of the red sky, a blue sword flashed, and the demon with a long cut on its side staggered violently.
The Minotaur looked around, wrapping his arms around his sides.
“!”
The two relatively weak figures on the rooftop came into view through bloodshot eyes.
The monster checked the strong man right next to him and the strong man far away preparing to rain down the salt magic bullets again, and prepared a roar to shake off the strong man right next to him.
“Whoaaahhh-.”
Just before unleashing a magical battle cry.
“Eat some shit!”
This gentleman fired a machine gun.
Doo doo doo doo doo-!
Hearing the sound of a machine gun, the Minotaur instinctively raised his forearm to protect his eyes.
At that time, Iljinrim aimed for the Minotaur’s neck with his index and middle fingers together.
“Get out of here, monster.”
pop!
The penetrating blood flow bullet was shot cleanly.
The leather that had been able to block even machine gun bullets was easily pierced.
Phew!
“Crash! Crash!”
Only the sound of air being sucked out came out of the throat where a battle cry should have been let out.
“Now.”
Jeong Se-ga smiled leisurely and raised the sword burning with black energy in front of his face.
The devil who had seemed so vicious now seemed infinitely small.
wickedness!
The thick neck fell off in an instant.
?Mock match success
Capture time: 1 minute 14 seconds.

Remaining health: 97%
First Death: None.
Final time: 2 minutes 44 seconds.
Overall Rating: B+ ?
After that, Group 8 played three more mock matches, and succeeded in receiving an A+ in the last mock match.
The key is to draw out the Minotaur and then finish it off with one powerful blow.
“Group 8 succeeded in keeping the original operational framework while adapting it to the situation. Well done.”
Thanks to that, I was even able to receive praise from Ina.
For Sega, who had been prepared for harsh criticism, this was a very happy and fortunate thing.
“I hope everyone can use today’s experience to prepare well for the real performance evaluation next week.”
And then, she continued, her voice cracking.
“Today marks the end of Student Protection Week. I hope that all Class 1 students will remain in Shinseoul so that their performance assessment preparations will not be in vain.”
At that time, I didn’t know why Ina said that.
