I Became an Academy Overpowered Marksman - Chapter 69
69. overwhelmed
Kang Jun-hyung, a member of Class A, was not an outstanding person even when he was young.
As my parents said, I studied and trained moderately, and luckily I was awakened to a high-level job, so I was able to enter Broad Academy’s Class A without much help from my parents.
The [Epic] rank, even the job of a swordsman, was a blessing to him. In an instant, he rose to a higher level than others, and his inborn grade provided a huge advantage that could not be remedied with effort.
Before he could enjoy that joy, tragedy struck.
Junhyung Kang’s father was a man who made analog watches. The small workshop run by his father began to decline from the moment blacksmiths developed new artifacts.
– I’m sorry, but it’s hard to continue the deal any longer.
The suppliers who were buying my father’s watches in large quantities suddenly cut off the deal. The shop, which had been constantly visited by customers, began to empty. The reason was the [Replica] artifacts created by some blacksmiths.
[Replica Artifact]
An artifact that perfectly replicates the appearance of a specific object. For example, if a luxury bag exists, it is duplicated visually to the extent that even experts cannot distinguish it.
Of course, since there is a difference in terms of durability and performance, even if you use it for general artifacts, it will only be worthless trash, but luxury items are different.
People cheered for the fact that they could buy perfect imitations for less than half the price, and luxury goods gradually lost their value. Of course, as with Picasso’s paintings, even if perfect replicas were made, some luxury goods still held their place thanks to brand recognition, but obscure small and medium luxury brands like Kang Jun-hyung’s father literally collapsed in an instant.
– When do you think you will pay the boss? It really got me down on the road. I gave you stuff before, but why don’t you pay for it-!
– Since the Replica Artifact was created, no one has bought your watch. It was in high demand then, but now it is not in demand? From our point of view, your watch is now bad stock. If we set the price at that standard, then we have nothing left.
At one time, I started taking the payment that I was supposed to receive now, and the house tilted as a result. The inventory that had been ordered could not be dealt with, so he ended up sitting in a pile of debt, and Kang Jun-hyung was the only hope in the declining family.
– Junhyung… I’m sorry for this father…
The family collapsed due to huge debts. To pay off the accumulating interest, my mother worked at a restaurant, and my younger sister started working part-time as well. Kang Jun-hyung could not give up the academy he had already enrolled in, so he worked with the academy at the same time. In the morning, I took classes, and in the evening, I did things that required my energy.
Then, an opportunity came to him.
Yoo Hee-yeon, she gathered her classmates and talked before starting the class annihilation battle.
– This class annihilation battle will be held fairly. I mean, without using shortcuts. Instead, let me make one suggestion to cheer you up.
– In this class annihilation battle, those who follow my words and achieve meaningful results will be rewarded accordingly.
Yoo Hee-yeon’s father. Yuhan-beom told me not to use my power to cheat. Therefore, Yoo Hee-yeon could not use cheating actions such as bribing the referee or bringing in external artifacts.
Then, in order to eliminate even the slightest chance of losing, the team members promised to provide financial support differentially according to the content of the game as a means to increase their motivation. It was Yoo Hee-yeon’s judgment that this was not cheating, that she could make the students follow her words, and that she could reduce the stupid people who were trying to do things roughly.
Junhyung Kang asked.
– How much money… how much?
– If you win the class annihilation battle, we will give you at least 50 million won per person. If you have a lot of activity, you can give more. Instead, I’ll give you nothing if you lose.
50 million won. It was a lot of money. It was an absurdly small amount to pay off the debt, but it was necessary money to pay off the interest and survive for Kang Jun-hyeong’s family.
In order to receive the money, Kang Jun-hyeong acted cautiously after entering the class annihilation war.
-Yoo Hee-yeon, calm down. No matter how urgent you are, you need to look at your surroundings. We must not forget that we are currently engaged in an occupation war. It is more important to occupy the occupied territory than to capture Lee Hyeon-seung.
He stopped Yoo Hee-yeon from recklessly moving.
– Nam In-woo, calm down. Check the number of people in Class F. They don’t intend to win with occupied territory in the first place. Then, there is only one way left to win. intend to catch us. that there might be some pitfalls. It is possible to recapture the occupied territory anyway, so it is correct to slowly watch the situation and fight.

Nam In-woo, who was rushing forward, was also stopped.
The reason Kang Junhyung was overly cautious. Because he had to win. I had to win and get paid. With that money, my mother and brother can rest comfortably for at least a few months. My father would be relieved of the pressure to some extent.
But everything started to go wrong.
“Quaaang-!”
Lee Hyeon-seung, who had been thought to have disappeared, suddenly appeared in the air. It means that Yoo Hee-yeon failed to track down.
“Kwaaak

Not long after, Nam In-woo was retired without doing anything by only Lee Hyeon-seung. It happened in a short time, less than 20 seconds.
Lee Hyun-seung’s actions did not stop there. After treating Nam In-woo horribly, he now fixed his eyes on Kang Jun-hyung and Jung Sae-ron.
“If you can hold on, try your best.”
he said in a ghastly tone. I know why you were so angry. Perhaps, it was because she hurt Eunseo too much. There were no feelings of regret. However, I couldn’t just be suffering because of that. Because Kang Junhyung had a reason to win this match.
-Paaang-!
As soon as Lee Hyun-seung hit the ground with his leg, there was a tremendous gong sound, and trees and small rocks spread wildly around Lee Hyun-seung’s toes. It was a foreign sight. To think that a person could have this much power just by stretching out their feet.
‘Monster…Monster…’
It is felt. difference in power. The bounce speed is beyond imagination. No one would have imagined that only a gunsmith could produce this level of force. If you don’t see it yourself, no one will believe the gunman’s movements in front of you.
Even Junhyung Kang doesn’t have a sword right now. He threw his sword on Jeong Eun-seo’s shoulder and stuck it in. All he had was a dagger.
“Why are you losing your mind?”
Lee Hyeon-seung, who had come right in front of me, stretched out his arm toward Kang Jun-hyung.
– Chae Ae Eeng-!
Kang Jun-hyeong suddenly came to his senses and deflected Lee Hyun-seung’s gun with his dagger.
“Is it fast?”
Lee Hyun-seung used Kang Jun-hyung’s strength in reverse and turned his body around. Before long, he started beating Junhyung Kang again with the gun.
-Huung-!
Lee Hyunseung used the gun like a sword. With each swing of the gun, a chilly wind cut through the air.
-Pee-!
As Lee Hyunseung’s gun lightly brushed his face, blood began to flow from his face.
‘What a gun…!’
Can a gun wielded at close range have this much power? It wasn’t a sword, a dagger, a shuriken, or even a weapon with blades, but the powerful power that seemed to put pressure on the entire body made my body shrink.
Before long, Lee Hyeon-seung’s attack was directed right in the face.
-Quaaang-!
I blocked it with a dagger, but it started to lose strength.
-Card Deed Deuk
The sound of the dagger and the gun colliding began to make a scraping sound.
-Parrr
Junhyung Kang’s arms start to tremble. The muscles swelled and began to build strength to their limit.
‘Heh…If I lose my strength, my face will be crushed.’
If he loses his strength in this state, his face will be distorted by the gun. It was terrible. That’s why I clenched my hands and endured.
but.
“Turn it off…!”
Contrary to Lee Hyeon-seung’s relaxed expression, Kang Jun-hyung was barely defending himself by squeezing even the strength he had been suckling.
The gun is getting closer. The muzzle was pointed toward his face. In this state, if Lee Hyun-seung pulled the trigger, his face would be smashed to pieces.
The moment when Lee Hyun-seung looked at him with uninteresting eyes and tried to pull the trigger from the front.
“Kang Junhyung! Keep your head down-!”
Jung Sae-ron, who was hiding from afar, cast a large-scale magic.
[Lightning Cannon]
Electricity starts to fly in a dense spherical state.
-Pajijijijik-!
An orb of lightning that flies at great speed.
“Tongue… Hyeonseung-ssi, avoid it!”
Jeong Eun-seo hurriedly shouted. However, Hyunseung Lee just pulled back a little and raised the gun.
“Lord… Die! You son of a b*tch! He pretended to be proud and looked good, stupid bastard.”
Sae-ron Jeong’s voice can be heard from afar. After casting for quite a long time, he must have been sure that this attack would work.
In fact, I couldn’t dodge the Lightning Cannon that flew so fast. It was already too late to avoid it. No, you don’t need to avoid it exactly.
-Kirik-!
Instead of evading, Hyunseung Lee quietly pulled the trigger.
-Taaang-!
His bullets began to rush into the sphere of lightning.
