I Obtained a Mythic Item - Chapter 38

Episode 38 Freshman Hunt (8)

By the morning of the third day, Jaehyun, Kim Yu-jeong, and Seo In-na’s party finally succeeded in reaching 1 million points.

It took 35 hours and 17 minutes.

It was the shortest record ever to reach 1 million points.

“With this, we reached 1.1 million points.”

Kim Yoo-jung smiled while showing the name tag she had stolen from the student she had just dealt with.

Somehow it felt bloody, but it was certain that it was going in a good direction.

I’ve already accumulated 1 million points in the forest just with the paralysis spore mushroom and the combination of the three.

“Once you’ve come this far. If this is enough, 1st place is almost guaranteed.”

Jaehyun took a deep breath, relaxed his entire body, and clenched his fists.

It was an achievement that I could never have imagined.

To rank first in an event hosted by Milles?

In the past, it was Jaehyun who was quicker to find a ranking from the bottom.

But now he is making these achievements for granted.

‘It’s a new feeling. It seems Seo In-na is starting to trust me as well.’

Jaehyun looked back at Seo Ina for a moment.

He made eye contact with her for a moment, but did not avert his gaze like the first time.

After all, the foundation of trust between radars is skill.

For the past two days, Jaehyun has been appealing his skills to Kim Yoojung and Seo Ina.

Not only did they fight in the vanguard, but they were effectively arranging the two and using their skills appropriately in battle instructions.

Thanks to this, the two seem to have strong confidence in themselves.

“……however. Jaehyun Min. Do you really have to leave here?”

Kim Yoo-jung asked with a sad face.

Currently, they were planning to escape from the ‘Nightmare Forest’.

Kim Yoo-jung seemed to not want to leave this place since she had accumulated points by killing many students in this forest.

But I can’t stay here any longer.

It’s because one of the students who survived the other day spread rumors that there was a dangerous freshman here.

Thanks to this, the number of visitors (?) visiting the ‘Nightmare Forest’ has decreased noticeably.

“I can’t help it. Because the current students are scared and don’t come here anymore.”

“……I also think Jaehyun is right. If you want to collect more points…….”

Shelter is the last day anyway, so there is nothing more to write. Now that the three of them are pretty usable, there won’t be any danger in the slightest.

‘By the way, Seo Ina… she has a great desire to compete?’

Jaehyun was genuinely amazed.

morning of the third day.

Looking for the next target even though he has already achieved good results that have already exceeded 1 million points.

In the first place, Jaehyun’s goal was to break the all-time record, but I had no idea Seo Eana would burn such passion.

Even though Kim Yoo-jung is annoying, she follows along well when fighting.

‘If this is enough, there won’t be any big problems in the future… but I can’t be careless.’

This was the thing I felt most painfully in my past life.

Carelessness is the enemy.

In the past, he almost died in a dungeon that he thought would be easily cleared.

If it hadn’t been returned by the Nornir system, I would have lost my life.

“hey. But what is the highest score for freshman hunting?”

“1.14 million points.”

Surprisingly, the answer came right back from Seo Ina.

Kim Yoo-jung let out a deep sigh.

“I’ll have to take five or six more from now on. bothered.”

“Don’t bother. After all, the points earned here are useful.”

At those words, Seo Ina tilted her head and asked.

“……Jaehyun seems to know everything well.”

“huh. what is it I heard a lot of information about this and that.”

I answered without arousing suspicion as much as possible.

That’s why I can’t honestly confess that I’ve experienced it once in my previous life.

While I was clearing my head and thinking, suddenly. I could feel the creepy magic power behind me.

A huge wave of magical energy was coming toward the party.

Jaehyun made a combat stance and ordered in a low voice.

“Prepare. …… come!”

A blue-colored sword that flew at a fierce speed toward Jaehyun.

The sword that flew in an arc boasted a speed different from that of the enemies he had dealt with so far.

‘what? This must be an A-class skill… why?’

Whoo!

Jaehyun’s pupils narrowed after barely avoiding the sword.

“I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Brilliantly shiny gray hair. A handsome man with a handsome appearance.

An unexpected name escaped slowly from his stiff lips.

“……Ahn Ho-yeon.”

* * *

“…… What the hell is this? Why are the freshmen……”

“Hey! Jaehyun Min! are you okay?”

Seo In-na and Kim Yoo-jung’s urgent cries reached my ears.

However, Jaehyun had no time to worry about such things at all.

Only one question popped into Jaehyun’s mind.

Why is An Ho-yeon swinging a sword at him?

Ahn Ho-yeon and himself were the same freshman.

There would be no reason to fight.

“Ahn Ho-yeon! What are you doing all of a sudden?”

Even though Jaehyun shouted, Ahn Hoyeon silently swung his sword.

Contrary to the blue face that seemed to be engulfed in fear, the hand that continued the attack without hesitation.

It was clearly in a strange state.

‘what? Can’t you hear me? ……no way?!’

Whoo!

Jaehyun, who quickly ducked back to avoid the sword attack, recalled his memories before returning.

Obviously, something like this happened back then.

Maybe the Milles School Festival.

I remember being infested with half-mad guys like this.

Quaang!

Jaehyun flew the flying sword with his magically enchanted fist and then struck An Hoyeon in the pit of the stomach.

Slap!

Ahn Ho-yeon stepped back and limp in pain.

With an attack of this strength, even An Ho-yeon’s hard skin would be quite difficult to move for a while.

You have to think about it from now on.

Why did Ahn Ho-yeon become such an idiot who couldn’t even tell the difference?

And soon the answer popped into my head.

‘Damn it…… This is what Gujain did. That baby ‘s

mischievous mischief …….

Guin. As the chairman of Miles, he intervened in this ‘freshman hunt’.

before regression.

On the day of the Milles School Festival, something like today happened.

Dozens of cadets, suddenly blinded, attacked each other, killing their comrades.

The culprit behind the incident was Gu Ja-in.

Gu Jain used his unique skill, 《Brainwashing》, to manipulate the cadets into accidents, resulting in innocent cadets dying in droves.

Ahn Ho-yeon was showing exactly the same appearance as the cadets whose minds were eroded at that time.

In contrast to the pale blue face, the sword wielded to the limit of the body.

‘Let’s calm down……’

Jaehyun took a deep breath.

In my mind, I have to beat Ahn Ho-yeon right now, take the name tag, and send it to reality.

But if that happens, it will only be possible to play around with Gu Jain’s thoughts.

Goo Ja-in’s goal is to put Ahn Ho-yeon and himself on a one-on-one basis to determine which one is superior.

Of course, Jaehyun had no intention of fitting in there.

however.

‘shit.’

It was clear that the situation was not very good.

Ahn Ho-yeon in front of him was a monster.

Although he was weak in mentality and did not look good in battles with goblins, he was a genius born with overwhelming talent.

Jaehyun broke out in a cold sweat and released his magic power.

How can I defeat An Ho-yeon in front of me?

If you seriously fight An Ho-yeon here, it will be difficult without killing him.

Just when Jaehyun was thinking.

―The subspace connection is unstable.

―The restraints that restrict the player are broken.

look at this

Jaehyun shook his head at the sound of Gu Jain’s insignificant number and focused his attention.

‘Well, Gu Ja-in must have prepared this surprise event because he wanted to know which one was better, Ahn Ho-yeon or me. He must have judged that it would be no fun to face off with C-class or lower magic.’

“hey! Jaehyun Min! System Mmm did you hear?! They say the subspace connection is unstable right now!”

“……you have to be careful. I think that kid is insane. As if possessed by something…”

“Don’t worry. If this happens, it will be more advantageous for me.”

“huh? What kind of bullshit is that……”

Kim Yu-jung’s words did not continue.

She looked into Jaehyun’s confident eyes.

It was strange.

The enemy in front of me is Ahn Ho-yeon, a genius who everyone knows about Milles students.

He is a stronger opponent than most current students.

But why is Jaehyun smiling?

‘Then the story will be different. Would it be worth a try?’

Jaehyun put a smile on his lips.

If you can use B-class or higher magic, the situation becomes overwhelmingly advantageous to you.

Although Ahn Ho-yeon is a genius, he probably doesn’t have many skills that exceed B or A ranks.

It’s a fight worth fighting for.

Neutralizing the enemy without killing it is not that difficult for Jaehyun now.

There shouldn’t be a big problem if you use the restraint skill 《Chain of Lightning》.

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

Jaehyun got goosebumps for a moment at the sight of Ahn Hoyeon fixing his sword again.

‘It’s an insanely fast recovery. After all, that’s how it should be, it’s like being number one in martial arts.’

The best talent in the martial arts world that he so longed for comes to the sword.

Jaehyun exhaled and watched the enemy move.

A perfect basic stance and kicking sword that showed no gaps at all.

‘In the first place, his skills were close to perfection. His mentality, which was his only flaw, is not a problem for him now because he manipulates his mind. But… I don’t intend to see it that way.’

With a calm expression, he began to gather all the mana in his body.

Tsutsutsutsu…….

Torrents of mana swirled and permeated Jaehyun’s body.

Kim Yoo-jung and Seo E-na, who were standing in the back, were startled by the mana and took a step back without even realizing it.

‘what? This magical power…?!’

Seo In-na’s pupils constricted, and soon her expression was stained with astonishment.

A blue effect and a ring of lightning wrapped around Jaehyun’s whole body.

What the hell is going on?

Doesn’t everything you’ve shown me mean?

‘As expected, there was something more hidden……’

Then. Jaehyun spoke calmly to the two of them.

“You get out of here quickly. as far as possible. If possible, collect some points for me.”

Kim Yoo-jung urgently shouted.

“what? What do you mean?! don’t you know who he is? Hoyeon Ahn is the number 1 ranked martial artist. How are you going to catch it by yourself!”

“You think you can’t?”

Kim Yoo-jung’s expression hardened for a moment.

Jaehyun’s face was more serious than ever.

After thinking for a while, Seo Ina nodded and said.

“……okay. I’ll go.”

“what?! Inaya. What is that…!”

Kim Yoo-jung looked at Seo In-na with a puzzled face.

However, this one also has a calm and bold expression.

In the end, Kim Yoo-jung turned her head.

“Ah Okay! won’t you go I’ll earn points somehow. Whether it’s knocking them down or stealing their nameplate… do whatever you want.”

“okay. It won’t take long.”

At Kim Yoo-jung’s words, Eana also nodded.

They quickly ran to escape the field where Jaehyun and Ahn Hoyeon were fighting. Fortunately, Ahn Ho-yeon’s goal was only Jae-hyun, so he didn’t chase after him.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and Jaehyun smiled and raised his fist towards Hoyeon Ahn.

“Bite this tight. hurt.”

At that time, a translucent quest window appeared in front of him, perhaps responding to Jaehyun’s heart.
