I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 – First real battle (1)

-20km canter. [20km/20km] (Achieved!)

– 500 squats. [500/500] (Achieved!)

– 200 push-ups. [200/200] (Achieved!)

– 300 sit-ups. [300/300] (Achieved!)

– 150 pull-ups. [150/150] (Achieved!)

“Whoa… How did you finish today’s assignment!”

Seo-joon nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the five ‘Achievement!’

And the sun was still in the middle of the sky when I looked up slightly.

“It seems like the pace of completing the task is getting faster and faster.”

Just a few weeks ago, it would have taken an entire day to complete.

But now I was able to finish them all before the intermission was over.

nearly three times faster.

And Seo-joon knew better than anyone else that all of that didn’t make sense.

That would be the case, Seo-jun’s body was in a state that could never be made in just a few weeks.

For a year, I was barely able to achieve it if I only invested in physical training.

However, Seo-joon was able to shorten the time of one year to a few weeks, probably because of the task correction effect of the transcendent academy.

Even just listening to the lectures made me stronger.

“No matter how you think about it, it’s a mysterious academy.”

Seo-joon stared blankly at his smartphone and burst out laughing.

“I think I can do Hangwoo’s assignment today.”

It’s been a week since Seo-joon listened to Hang-wu’s lecture. However, the task was only completed in 3 days.

In addition, I only listened to the lecture twice.

There were several reasons for this, and as expected, Hangwoo’s task was not to be wielded at random.

Xiang Yu told me to just swing it, but without a certain speed, power, and sense of purpose, it wouldn’t count.

Above all, it was difficult to obtain a weapon called a spear.

Of course, when you go to the hunter-only shop, weapons were widely available, and not only pro hunters but also trainees could buy them.

But Seo-jun didn’t have the money to buy it.

The equipment of professional hunters was not worth a penny, and Seo-joon was in a situation where he was in a hurry to pay for living expenses right now.

So, Seo-joon swung the long stick with a feeling of not knowing, and fortunately, it counted to see if it was recognized as a spear.

In fact, it is preferable to call it a stick rather than a spear, but as Jecheon Daeseong said, the difference between the two was not so great among the transcendentalists.

“I want to get a proper spear, but…”

Still, sticks and spears are completely different.

It would be nice if I could get a spear for practice, if not a spear for practice.

“Come to think of it, transcendence academies don’t sell items or anything?”

Why, in real life, if there is a lecture, don’t they sell textbooks and teaching aids as well?

While Seo-joon thought about it, he looked around the transcendent academy.

< Training equipment made by successful applicants. >

“There is!”

Seojun clicked the link with a trembling heart. Then, pictures of various weapons were arranged in order.

[Imitation] – Misteltein.

[Imitation] – Excalibur.

[Imitation] – Spear of Longinus.

.

.

“Wow… is this just for training?”

Seo-joon was fascinated and admired them.

It was because Seo-joon had no eye for weapons, but none of them were unusual.

Things you wouldn’t know if they were genuine if there wasn’t the word imitation in front of them.

It was only then that Seo-joon was able to recognize that the words that passed students made it were the same as saying that it was made by transcendentalists.

I don’t know, but if I brought it to reality and sold it, I thought I could get hundreds of billions.

Seo-joon clicked the spear of Longinus among the many weapons.

The Holy Spear, which is said to have pierced Jesus while he was hanging on the cross.

< Calculate the causal rate and measure the right price... >

.

< 100000000 ￦ >

“This guy’s causal rate is real…”

It was 100 million won. Of course, even considering that it is a counterfeit, it could be seen that 100 million won was given for free.

As I said, in reality, it will be worth more than tens of billions.

However, it was an amount Seo-jun could not even dream of.

“I’d rather close my eyes and get a loan and do business with this…”

It was a natural thought.

And at the same time as I thought, a notification window popped up on my smartphone screen.

(This product is produced by successful students for junior students, and secondary sales are strictly prohibited.)

“So that’s right.”

Seo-joon let out a smile.

It could be nothing more than a warning, but having experienced the Transcendent Academy, I didn’t know what would happen if I ignored it.

“After all, it sounds like money…”

It was money going round and round.

However, as Seo-joon, the most money he could earn was transporting monster corpses.

And the daily wage is 200,000 won. Even with 100 million, I had to work and breathe for 500 days.

Of course, if Seojun ran the raid himself, he could have earned several times more.

However, dungeon raids by non-professional hunters were prohibited by law.

Raids were illegal even for Awakeners unless it was an emergency.

“So I was going to enter the academy…”

Cadets who attend government-approved hunter academies are issued temporary licenses with the consent of officials.

And the proceeds belonged to the cadets who did the raid.

In the early days, there was a lot of talk about whether the government was pushing the Hunter Academy.

However, when the Awakeners began to play the game, the Pro Hunter Association itself accepted these restrictions.

In a word, restrictions to protect my rice bowl.

So Seo-joon also thought of entering the Hunter Academy and earning money while training, but now all of that has gone wrong.

“I can’t help it for now.”

So Seo-joon brushed off his regret.

“Break time over! Let’s all work!”

And just then came a cry announcing that recess was over.

The task of transporting a corpse was not simply transporting.

To be precise, transporting only the useful parts was what the transport companies did.

There were monsters whose corpse itself was valuable, but some monsters were not.

Therefore, useless parts of the carcass had to be picked out and trimmed, which, of course, was the responsibility of the carrier.

This 4-star Manticore monster was worth only its tail, horns, teeth, tendons, and leather.

Kwajik. chuck.

Seojun skillfully dismantled the bodies of the Manticore.

Tendons that split the skin and peel it off smoothly and are pulled out with a single knife cut.

When I first started doing this, I was often stumped and scolded.

However, it has been nine years since Seo-jun did this.

Now, even with my eyes closed, I was able to work on the corpses of most monsters.

“Hey… how did you find the tendons so quickly? Are you doing clairvoyance?”

“Haha I thought it was just here, so I screamed, but it came out right away.”

Of course, even taking that into consideration, Seo-joon’s work speed was incredibly fast.

‘Is this also the effect of the river?’

Seo-joon continued to work with more excitement.

And Man-cheol looking at Seo-joon.

“What the hell happened at the hospital…”

Mancheol shook his head and walked to the pile of corpses.

Excited.

Suddenly, the pile of Manticore corpses shook.

Up and down.

‘huh? what?’

Mancheol approached the corpse. And just when I wanted to check something.

“Kieek!”

Suddenly, a terrifying scream erupted from among the piles of dead bodies.

And it was a sound that should never be heard there.

“what?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

The people who were working stopped their actions and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

‘what?’

And that was no different than Seojun.

That’s when people’s eyes were directed.

grasp!

Something suddenly jumped out of the pile of corpses. A quadrupedal monster with a large body and the appearance of a ferocious beast.

“Kieeaek!!”

It was none other than the Manticore.

“Manticore!”

“Why is a living manticore here! Weren’t they all dead?”

“I don’t have time for that! Everyone run away!”

In an instant, the scene became an abyss. People fleeing to Honbibaeksan Mountain.

Seo-joon also instinctively turned and ran away.

Only the Awakened can deal with monsters.

When the Early Awakeners appeared more than 100 years ago, people knew and believed it.

However, over time, studies have been conducted and it has been shown that this is not true.

To be precise, the only ones who could deal with monsters were the awakened ones who could use mana.

People called them Hunters and praised them as heroes in the early days of Cataclysm.

Seojun is an awakened person. A person qualified to use mana.

But you can’t use mana.

No matter how hard he was trained in lectures, he couldn’t do it.

So Seo-joon ran away without thinking. Then he turned his head slightly and looked at the Manticore.

however.

“mister!”

“Run away Seo Jun-ah! Don’t worry about me and run away quickly!”

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!”

Through Seo-jun’s vision, he saw a manticore roaring toward Man-cheol.

Man-cheol, who was closest to the pile of corpses.

tall.

Seojun’s jumping stopped.

“What are you doing! Run away quickly!”

And Mancheol shouts at Seojun. But Seojun didn’t listen.

He could have survived if he ran away like this. There were things he had been training so far, so he was able to get away from Manticore.

But it’s not full iron.

Die. must die

Mancheol, who is just an ordinary person, will be caught by Manticore before he can go far.

And like paper, the body will be torn to pieces.

What about Hunters? There was Park Seo-yoon until just now.

Seojun immediately shook his head.

That sounds funny. In a situation where one second is missing, even if Park Seo-yoon is present, it is too late if he is not here.

I have to do it now.

If you move right now, you can save the mancheol.

But who?

Seojun clenched his fists.

momentary worries. And the action was quick.

Seo-joon turned his head around as if his neck would break. Then, when he found an iron bar thrown carelessly, he ran and grabbed it.

It was a long iron bar that you would often see on a construction site.

Seo-joon rolled up the bar.

You have to take your time. I couldn’t catch the Manticore because I couldn’t use mana.

Above all, even if you can use mana, Manticore is a 4-star monster.

There is no way that even professional hunters can catch monsters that they struggle with.

However, since there are things that have been trained in the meantime, it will be able to drag out some time.

So we have to wait until the pro hunters come. You can only do it yourself here.

A cold touch felt by the fingertips.

Nevertheless, a certain hesitation and a certain fear hold on to Seo-joon.

Right then.

Like hallucinations, Shakyamuni’s words penetrated Seo-jun’s ears.

[You are the universe. Observing the world, the universe thinking about where it came from, what this world is, and where it is going now.]

Emotions settle down.

The fearful and trembling heart subsides calmly.

My heart beats as if it would explode at any moment, but my head is colder than anything else.

Tadak Seo-joon kicked the ground without hesitation or hesitation.

The surrounding scenery flies by, and the distance between Manticore and Manticore is rapidly closing.

And did he even notice that?

The guy who was chasing Man-cheol suddenly turned his head to Seo-joon.

“Kieeaek!!”

A tearing roar followed.

A tremendous sense of life comes over Seo-joon, and his mind aches. However, Seo-jun did not stop running.

Papabak.

The Manticore also rushed at Seo-Jun as if scratching the floor with all four legs.

The distance between the two narrows faster and closer.

The huge body casts a thick shadow and a creepy feeling of pressure overtakes Seo-joon.

Whoop!

Then, the manticore’s sharp paws swung toward Seo-joon.

terrifying feeling.

Between them, Chiron’s words penetrated like senses.

[If you think, judge, and move, it’s too late! Move the moment you see it. It means leaving the judgment to the senses! That’s the sixth sense!]

Seo-joon looked straight at all of those things.

The manticore’s paws approached right in front of us. I have no idea.

However, when Seo-jun recognized the action, the manticore’s front paws passed in front of his body and his body leaned back as much as possible.

Quick!

Belatedly, a sharp pangong sound cuts through my ears.

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!”

Angry that his attack missed, he roared even more fiercely.

Seo-joon jumped up with strength in his legs and he missed the moment.

“Kieek?”

He is taken aback when Seo-jun suddenly disappears from sight.

visible loopholes.

should I attack? But how?

As if to give the answer, Hang-woo’s voice penetrates.

[Back divergence does not simply mean power. The momentum of winning! believe it! Don’t even doubt that your blow will split the mountain.]

Seo-joon gripped the bar even tighter.

swing stab cut

At this moment, Seo-joon didn’t think of any attack method.

just cut it

No, I just think I should go.

[That’s the power to pull out mountains. It is reverse divergence.]

And.

Kwaaaang!!

A tremendous explosion sounded along with the dizzying pain felt in my hand.

A dense fog of dust rose. After a while, the fog dissipated.

“My God…”

“How could…”

An unknown silence settled there.

The people who were running away each stopped and looked at the amazing scene.

A manticore split in half so that its shape is unrecognizable.

No, can I say that it split?

In a scene where there was no need to run away, people just stared blankly at the existence standing in the center.

< Chiron lecture progress rate +10% (21.5%) >

< Sakyamuni lecture progress rate +2.6% (5.1%) >

< Hangwu lecture progress rate +13% (19.7%) >

At that moment, Seojun’s smartphone rang loudly and announced something.

Only then did Seo-joon come to his senses.

“what?”

And tilt your head.

“Why does this break through…?”

Seo-joon was bewildered by the situation unfolding in front of him.
