Solo Max-Level Newbie - Chapter 18
Episode 18 Awakening Test (3)
Gi-tae Kim flinched at Jin-hyeok’s words.
“You’re going to deal with the whole guild alone…?”
It is arrogance and arrogance.
In the first place, a guild was a group that came together to overcome the limitations of a single entity.
How much more, isn’t Rabi the super large guild located in the 2nd place in Korea?
“If you came to see the test now, your level would be low…”
“Low. It’s still level 1.”
“I don’t mind. But do you really think so?”
The average level of the upper level of the Brawl Abi Guild is 20 or higher.
Even there are more than 10 players who are stronger than Kim Ki-tae.
but.
“If you try to judge everything simply by level, you have a completely wrong understanding of the Tower of Trials.”
Jinhyuk’s voice was still low.
‘Was it sincere?’
Kim Ki-tae swallowed dry saliva.
That’s not a lie.
It was something I could afford because I was on my own.
Of course, he couldn’t actually beat the hundreds of fighters in the Guild.
at least.
‘He’s stronger than me.’
That one thing was certain.
Kim Ki-tae, who had been keeping his mouth shut, opened his mouth.
“The exchange conditions are…”
“Huh?”
“What are the exchange conditions?”
It seems that a decision has been made.
towards making a deal.
“Simple. I’ll tell you where to find Mandragora, so hand over 10 of the exclusive dungeons in Brawl Abi.”
Exclusive Dungeon.
Unlike general dungeons that anyone can enter, each guild refers to a dungeon that has its own ownership.
The risk is low, but the reward is a salty yolk.
Because of this, each guild was frantic to secure this exclusive dungeon.
But to give 10 of them.
This is equivalent to 30% of all exclusive dungeons owned by the Brawl Abi Guild.
“The price is absurdly expensive.”
“It’s the price of solving the symptoms of magic poisoning. Of course, isn’t it normal that it should be expensive?”
Just look at the price right now and don’t grumble.
comparatively.
The relationship between 10 dungeons and China.
Which of the two is more important to the father to fight?
“…”
Kim Ki-tae’s head spun rapidly.
I kicked off my emotions and cooled my head coldly.
And I started weighing the gains and losses.
10 exclusive dungeons.
It was a waste, but it wasn’t a losing trade if they could find out the Mandragora’s location.
The problem lies elsewhere.
opponent’s existence.
‘If you’re this strong with only one level…’
How strong do you think you get when you level up?
afraid.
Growth rate, potential and even the future.
entire.
However, it was not up to Kim Ki-tae to decide all of this.
It was not a matter so light that only one person could decide.
“I will tell the guild officials. I will discuss the conditions you mentioned and give me an answer.”
“It’s a wise decision.”
Jinhyuk smiled brightly.
With that, the conversation between the two ended.
[Lv3 ‘Dark Barrier’ is dismantled.]
The transparent curtain disappeared along with the message.
＊＊＊
“I came out!”
“Oooh!”
“What happened?”
“What were you talking about inside?”
When the two appeared, the people who were waiting impatiently started bombarding them with questions.
“Put the camera down there. hey. I can not hear you? Put away the camera!”
“If you don’t want to make noise while crying out for freedom of speech, return what you filmed. I believe that everyone knows that the Special Act on Awakened Persons has been revised.”
Players belonging to the Black Crow Guild and the Fighting Fathers Guild blocked the reporters.
‘Hoo. It’s pretty convenient.’
Thanks to that, I was less worried about getting involved in troublesome things.
I wanted it to end quietly.
Wow!
“Quaaaaagh!”
With a roar, a large body tumbled to the floor.
Did you even get hit by an ogre?
The bridge of the nose completely collapsed.
‘It must be terribly painful.’
Jinhyeok glanced at the direction the bulky body came from.
Then I saw a woman in sportswear with her joints broken.
“Move. entire. If you don’t want to die.”
A player who made a name for himself with the Bulgwangdong Nuclear Fist.
It was flexibility.
And after that, Lee Tae-min was also seen.
“brother! are you okay? Just say what you said there. I’m going to knock it all over.”
“Kim Ki-tae. It’s disappointing. I didn’t see it that way. What are you doing after spreading the barrier?”
The two showed strong hostility.
At first, I was extremely reluctant to fight with other guilds…
When the situation came up, I went out without thinking.
It’s not a bad feeling.
for me. Because I meant to stand by my side.
＊＊＊
‘Yeonhwa and Lee Tae-min…’
Kim Ki-tae’s face hardened even more.
I just thought we were friends.
There was no way that two people who were quite famous on this floor would make a personal connection.
But I don’t think it would go that far.
At this level, they weren’t familiar with each other.
If touched…
I could feel the will to perish until an all-out war.
“We just had a little conversation. There was nothing for you to worry about.”
“Is that true?”
“that’s right. He was more communicative than I thought.”
This time, Jinhyeok answered.
“If my brother says so…”
“I understand first.”
Only then did Yoo Yeon-hwa and Lee Tae-min release their magic.
The tense air subsided.
Kim Ki-tae, who was about to turn around, hesitated for a moment.
And I looked at flexibility.
“Oh. I almost forgot Yoo Chunyoung, is your body okay?”
“Grandpa, you fly around so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“Hmm. I know what If it’s an insider, then so be it.”
With a distorted smile, Kim Ki-tae hurried on his way.
On the other hand, Yoo Yeon-hwa bit her lips in anger.
passed each other past each other.
Then, it was Park Ha-jin who was impatient.
“ruler. Wait! Are you sure you’re sending them there?”
I was only waiting for a chance to take revenge because I was ashamed of myself.
What is the sudden sluggish mood?
Park Ha-jin could not understand.
This time, it seemed that the congestion would go away only if we were vigilant and smashed the opponent with all our might.
“Leave it alone. There’s no opponent like you.”
Ki-tae Kim drew the line.
“Ha but!”
“but?”
“no. I just want to get another chance…”
“A chance? yes i gave it a chance A chance to get your head stuck on top of your neck. The luck of not knowing the subject and not dying from attacking that monster.”
“…”
“If you throw up on my words again, I know you will regret it then. keep in mind The guys who want to join hands with us are hot and short.”
“All right.”
Park Ha-jin bit his molar.
It was a bonus to stare at Jinhyeok as if he were going to kill him.
That moment.
Tring!
[Conditions met.]
[Skill ‘Light Breathing (D)’ copied successfully!]
[Copied skills will be stored in ‘Memory of the World’.]
[Shallow Breathing (Passive)]
Difficulty to obtain: D
What: You can control breathing volume and heart rate. (The threshold varies depending on the level of the skill.)
It seemed that the hostility had risen to the maximum.
I had no choice but to do that because I was abandoned by the person I wanted to look the best in.
But, that’s the guy’s business.
‘I’ll put this to good use.’
Looking at Jinhyeok’s new passive skill, he smiled with satisfaction.
＊＊＊
After the messy atmosphere was cleared, the test resumed.
Of course, the number of spectators has drastically decreased.
It was because the students had lost their spirits because they had stirred the room so brutally.
Because many of them noticed or gave up on the test, the existing turn got messed up.
In the end, only those who wanted to be tested were conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.
[#1 Park Hana. Measurements: 1755. Grade A]
[2nd place Han Min-hee. Estimate: 989. Grade B]
[3rd Place Oh Jeong-hoon. Measurements: 845. Class B-]
[….]
‘Huh.’
Jinhyeok, who checked the display board, exclaimed a small exclamation.
I don’t know what she did, but Park Hana was in first place.
And that too in overwhelming numbers.
‘Did you eat wild ginseng?’
Due to the nature of the test, which is conducted alone with the examiner in the room, I did not know how to do it.
It must have been a pretty funny prank.
And just in time.
“Come in next.”
It was Jinhyuk’s turn.
rattle!
When I opened the door, a fairly large room appeared.
A huge magic stone located in the center.
Next to it was an Awakened Association examiner holding a tablet PC.
“Oh hello.”
The examiner who saw Jinhyuk trembled.
Maybe it’s because of what happened a little while ago.
I understand.
I get it…
but I’d like you to stop and explain the test.
“What am I supposed to do?”
“Ah yes. All you have to do to test is hit the magic crystal in front of you. You can also use your own abilities. You can also use items. The essence is the size of the potential that appears when you strike a magic stone.”
In a word, ‘grab the magic crystal with all your might.’ Is it like this?
‘That’s simple.’
There was nothing difficult.
Jinhyeok stood in front of the magic stone.
Then he took out a reinforced dagger.
“It is a dagger. Are you going to use only weapons without using your unique abilities?”
“yes. This is enough.”
“All right. You can start.”
At the same time as the examiner’s words were finished.
Whoa!
Magical power began to flow along the blade.
The tip of the knife trembled.
With a bright red light like blood.
right at that moment.
Kagagagak!
The sword that crossed like lightning scratched the surface of the magic crystal.
A thin and long scratch appeared on the surface of the magic crystal.
It is a blow with the right combination of speed and power.
however.
[#589 Kang Jin-hyeok. Measurement: 91. Grade F]
The measurements displayed on the screen were far too far off.
“Thank you for your hard work. You got an F grade.”
The examiner read the numbers with a puzzled expression.
On the other hand.
Jinhyeok laughed at the same result.
No surprise.
why
There are clichés that are common in novels.
The talented protagonist took the awakening test for the first time, but it became a banal cliché where the F grade floated.
There are so many reasons that can be attached, such as system errors and magic crystals, to the point of being hit by a truck.
“I’ve been curious about it for a long time.”
Jinhyeok took a step forward.
“Why do you just accept and move on even after receiving strange results?”
If you get the right grade.
Many of the main characters in the novel would have grown up much faster and more smoothly.
He must have been able to know all the information about areas and dungeons that he couldn’t enter because he was F-rank.
It was twisted from the start.
but.
I won’t let the same thing happen in my reality.
“Is that the examiner over there?”
“Did you call me?”
The examiner, who was looking around, answered in surprise.
My body trembled.
That’s right.
The sight of Jinhyeok playing with Park Hajin was still vivid in my eyes.
It would be natural for a low-level civil servant who was only checking numbers in a test to feel fear.
“Is there another examiner here besides you?”
“yes! yep! No. Sorry, but I’m the only one. So what can I help you with?”
“The magic crystal seems strange, how about changing it? Not low-level, but at least intermediate level or higher.”
“A magic stone? Why is the magic stone suddenly fine…”
It’s frustrating.
“Do you see a crack in the magic stone here?”
Jinhyeok pointed to the surface of the magic crystal.
It’s faint, but there was definitely a sliver of sword left there.
“I see…”
“The magic stone doesn’t budge even from moderate attacks. But you hurt it, F-class? Do you think common sense makes sense?”
Do all of you wear your eyes as ornaments? Or are you deliberately pretending not to know?
I don’t know.
Either way, it was just as frustrating.
by the way.
“Are you still here?”
Jinhyuk frowned.
“I will prepare the bar! One minute. No, just give me 30 seconds.”
The examiner lost his tail and ran toward the warehouse.
