Episode 99 – The Approaching Hunter Exam (2)
“Whoa…”
Seojun exhaled slowly.
Is it because he saved the power of Gongqing Petroleum scattered in his body?
I had been sitting in the same position for a long time, but my mind and body were more refreshed and refreshed than ever before.
“see···”
Seo-joon quietly closed his eyes and contemplated his body condition.
It seemed to capture about 10% of the scattered energy.
And the size of the filled Danjeon…
“Is it filled?”
It didn’t feel like it was full.
It’s just that it’s a little different from before when you have to concentrate on concentration?
Of course, the amount of power that could be used was markedly different from before.
However, compared to the size of the bowl of Samdanjeon (三丹田), it was an insignificant amount.
It is usually expressed as scooping a bowl of water out of the sea.
On the contrary, it felt like pouring a gourd of water into a bowl the size of an ocean.
‘Is this good or bad…’
The larger the bowl, the greater the mana power that can be utilized.
Conversely, the amount of mana that needs to be filled also increases exponentially.
In other words, you have to bear the enormous burden of causality.
‘How many elixirs should I drink…’
Judging by its shape, it seemed that it had to be inhaled to the extent that the elixir, not blood, flowed through the body.
And he didn’t even know how much money he would have to save to purchase the elixirs.
“…… Eh.”
Seojun shook his head.
Looking out the window, I saw that the dawn was slowly rising.
And it was around evening when Seojun came to Dream Academy.
In a word, it was an entire day.
“I didn’t know that this much time had passed…”
He was vaguely aware that a long time had passed.
But I didn’t expect the day to pass.
That time when I was thinking about this and that.
“Keep, keke…!”
A strange moaning sound came from somewhere.
Seo-joon turned his head in the direction the sound came from.
And I could see Lee Ha-yoon dying in one corner.
Seojun tilted his head and asked.
“what. Were you still there?”
“……”
At that moment, Lee Ha-yoon’s expression went blank and let go.
It would be like this if you saw the world collapsing right in front of your eyes.
It’s obvious, but Lee Ha-yoon couldn’t sleep all night.
It was because I had to stand all night with this ridiculously heavy bag.
Even if you want to cheat, even if you want to run away.
The creepy energy that swirled around Seo-jun all night made it impossible to put it into action.
Just enduring it by his side was enough to make his skin tingle.
That alone gave me goosebumps, but even as time went on, the energy continued to increase.
‘This is nonsense… that is nonsense…’
Lee Ha-yoon could not put down the pocket he was holding.
So, I was nervous and persevered, but then I heard that they were coming… What?
“Then go ahead.”
However, whether or not he knew Lee Ha-yoon’s feelings, Seo-jun just turned his back indifferently.
and true.
‘I still haven’t come to my senses.’
Seo-jun knew that Ha-yoon Lee did not mean to join Dream Academy.
I didn’t know exactly what my true intention was.
However, he had guessed that his intentions were not pure.
That’s why I’m not going to let anyone around me at this time.
In order to tear off the beard and fix it. I was thinking of educating myself.
And then.
“for a moment.”
Seo-jun stopped and looked at Lee Ha-yoon, who was holding the kibisis.
Then he tilted his head and said.
“Why are you fine?”
“……”
Lee Ha-yoon had nothing to say.
I’ve been standing with this ridiculous weight all day, and there’s no way I’ll be fine!
Mana was immediately exposed to the floor, and the muscles were already pulled out to the limit and were crying out for help.
However, if I put it down, I really thought I would be beaten to death, so I forced myself to hold on.
Anyone can see that Lee Ha-yoon’s current condition did not look normal.
But what? Why are you fine…?
If only Lee Ha-yoon could…
“Give it back.”
However, Lee Ha-yoon’s heart melted away like snow melting at the words that followed.
Lee Ha-yoon gave the pouch to Seo-joon.
“ah···!”
Liberation at last.
I felt like I had gained Lee Ha-yoon the whole world.
However, Seo-jun did not pay attention to Lee Ha-yoon and put his hand into the kibisis.
And Suuk took out a large piece of metal.
“What, what…?”
Lee Ha-yoon widened his eyes at the sight.
Subspace pouch…?
No, why are you carrying something like that in your subspace pocket?
“weird? Is it working normally?”
Seojun put the iron in the kibisis again.
Then, he handed it over to Lee Ha-yoon.
“Listen again.”
“Uh, uh…?”
Lee Ha-yoon was greatly embarrassed and looked at Seo-joon with earnest eyes.
However, Seo-joon really didn’t show the slightest movement.
Lee Ha-yoon cried and took the pouch back to eat mustard.
Wow!
“Keuk…!”
“what?”
And seeing Lee Ha-yoon like that, Seo-joon was quite confused.
It was also because Lee Ha-yoon shouldn’t have entered the kibisis like that.
To be precise, as soon as I heard the kibisis, I was gripped! There should have been a spark and a rejection reaction.
However, Lee Ha-yoon held the kibisis without any problems.
When I handed it over yesterday without thinking, I thought it was just that, but now that I think about it, it was quite strange.
“Why doesn’t the imprint activate?”
Seo-joon couldn’t understand the current situation at all.
It was twice that Seo-joon checked the imprints of the transcendent store’s items.
One time to Seoyoon when Kibisis was purchased.
Since then, once when Jung Ji-min came to visit.
And each time, the imprint was activated.
That’s why I was sure I couldn’t touch anyone other than myself…
“wait for a sec.”
Now that I think about it again, there was a situation that made no sense.
It was none other than when he entered the dungeon to save Mancheol and Demonic Castle.
At that time, Seo-jun lost his mind while using his divine power against the giant tree.
As a result, it was not possible to ‘directly’ retrieve Gungnir.
But when I woke up later in the hospital, Gungnir was neatly placed next to my bed.
that means that.
It was said that Mancheol or Maseong came out with Gungnir.
‘……Does the imprint activate only when there is a will to steal or use it?’
It was the most powerful hypothesis I could think of as of now.
Seo-joon looked around and picked up a large piece of dust that had fallen to the floor.
Then he handed it to Lee Ha-yoon and said.
“Put this in that pocket.”
“Yes?”
For a moment, Lee Ha-yoon wondered what nonsense Seo-joon was talking about.
However, I only thought about it in my mind, and for now, I did as I was told.
Just then, Lee Ha-yoon was about to put a piece of dust in his pocket.
That’s exactly when I thought about it.
Pajijijik!!
“Aagh!!”
Intense sparks flew from the kibisis and hit Lee Ha-yoon’s body.
Lee Ha-yoon almost lost consciousness at the tingling pain all over her body.
“Oh… that’s what it is.”
And Seo-jun’s voice.
Lee Ha-yoon’s emotions suddenly surged up.
Come to think of it, he was not the kind of person to be treated like this.
The greatest talent in pro hunter history.
It’s not your role to keep an eye on it.
It was up to those who looked up to him to have to crawl.
I had never been treated like this in my entire life and never thought I would.
Lee Ha-yoon opened her eyes wide.
“what. why.”
And then he gently lowered his eyes.
For some reason, I still have bruises all over my face.
The images of Amseong and Geomsung watching Kim Seo-joon kept flickering in front of their eyes.
Seo-joon let out a laugh and spit out the words.
“Then hold on.”
“What, what…?”
“Your Seoyoon hasn’t come yet.”
Seojun coldly turned his back.
Lee Ha-yoon only stared blankly at Seo-joon’s back.
And just then.
“uh? Did you have Seojun oppa?”
“Hello boss!”
Just in time, Soo-yeon and Min-yul entered Dream Academy.
He said he was discharged yesterday and there seemed to be no major problems.
“How are you guys coming?”
“We met before you. Rather…”
Soo-yeon looked over Seo-joon’s shoulder, speechless.
Then he pointed at Lee Ha-yoon with his finger and said.
“Why is he here?”
Seojun shrugged and replied.
“Ah, they said they wanted to join Dream Academy.”
“huh? To our academy…?”
“So I told you to wait until Mr. Seoyoon comes.”
Seo-joon waved his hand, saying not to worry.
But Min-yul and Su-yeon didn’t seem to think so.
“Leader. Are you sure you don’t intend to accept it?”
“Why are you asking me that? You should ask Seoyoon.”
“Yeah, but…”
“Who is Seoyoon? What does Seoyoon unnie say?”
“I don’t know either. He hasn’t come yet.”
Soo-yeon and Min-yul slightly turned their heads to look at Lee Ha-yoon.
There were bruises all over Lee Ha-yoon’s face.
I had heard that Seo-joon hit Lee Ha-yoon moderately, but I thought that was probably the result.
And I thought it was because I thought Seo-Jun would beat Lee Ha-Yoon easily.
But looking at it now, it wasn’t a moderately beaten level.
furthermore.
“Isn’t that… the bag that Seojun oppa used when training?”
“Something… I guess?”
“Isn’t that a weight joke…?”
What is that messy mess right now?
Even if it had been struck by lightning somewhere, her hair was disheveled and her skin was charred.
“Haaaagh…!”
I wondered if it was the same person as Lee Ha-yoon I saw then.
“Oh. Minyul.”
“Yes?”
Min-yul suddenly turned his head at Seo-jun’s call.
Seo-joon took out the secret money that Amseong had given him in his arms.
“this. Your teacher said to deliver it to you. And please don’t go around getting hit somewhere.”
“Haha…”
Minyul scratched the back of his head and replied.
“Thank you every time, Captain.”
“What are you thankful for?”
Thanks to you, I can get money from Amseong, but I’m more grateful.
“huh?”
“no. To train hard.”
“I am? What do I have?”
“doesn’t exist. You can just ask for it yourself.”
“It’s a little hard to tell you because Master’s health hasn’t been getting better lately.”
At the same time, Suyeon’s expression became somewhat sullen.
But he soon lost his expression and shouted.
“Well, not much to worry about!”
Then, Suyeon walked away with a gun.
So the three of them went to their respective places and started training.
And Lee Ha-yoon, who was watching the whole scene, had her eyes shining.
It was also because it was a great opportunity to get a glimpse of Seo-jun’s training.
The reason he followed Seo-joon was also to find out how.
How can you have such overwhelming strength?
Lee Ha-yoon took this opportunity to definitely dig into it.
And the secret of Kim Seo-joon that Lee Ha-yoon uncovered, the first.
“Aaaaaaaaa!”
thud!
Kim Seo-joon is not insane.
Kim Seo-joon suddenly went up to the academy rooftop.
And then suddenly jump off!
Literally jumped off the roof!
“Aaaaaaaaaa!”
thud!
okay. Well, what a bummer that could be.
Who in the world would jump off a rooftop just like a trainee!
I muttered something about Jang Sam-bong’s assignment, but I couldn’t understand what he was talking about.
Besides, it wasn’t just that.
Lee Ha-yoon’s secret to Kim Seo-joon, the second.
meow…
Kim Seo-joon is not insane.
Kim Seo-joon stood blankly without any meaning.
For some reason, I was just staring at the screen of my smartphone.
It’s just a black screen!
Even hours on end!
‘Could he be conscious of me…?’
It was a reasonable inference, but it was also strange to say so.
Because the other two didn’t find Seo-jun’s appearance strange, as if it were natural.
“Brother Minyul. Are you busy?”
“Uh… I’m busy looking at the new secret grade, but why?”
“There is a newly learned magic, how powerful it is, but can you take a look at it? Seojun oppa, it’s obvious that it won’t work…”
“The captain is not like that. okay. Just look at this and I will help you.”
Their actions were too natural to pretend they didn’t see it.
‘Really, that’s the secret to its overwhelming strength?’
Climbing up on the roof and jumping off?
Just staring at a black screen and blanking out?
“……”
Lee Ha-yoon could feel the absurd feeling of ascending to heaven that can only be felt at Dream Academy.
As I was staring at the scene so blankly, Seo-jun suddenly approached Lee Ha-yoon.
“hey. Give it up now. I have to do the Hercules assignment.”
“Uh, uh…?”
Before Lee Ha-yoon had time to reply, Seo-joon took the pouch.
Thanks to this, Lee Ha-yoon was finally able to taste the sweet sense of liberation.
However, Seo-joon was not the type to leave Lee Ha-yoon alone.
“And you help Suyeon with her training. hey! Suyeon-ah!”
At Seo-jun’s call, Soo-yeon approached as if asking what was going on.
Seo-joon said to Soo-yeon.
“Don’t interfere with Min-yul’s training and check with him.”
“huh?”
“What, what?”
Then, Suyeon and Lee Ha-yoon’s heads tilted at the same time.
Same with Soo-yeon and Lee Ha-yoon.
It was because there were still old feelings between the two.
However, Seo-joon looked at Lee Ha-yoon and asked without paying any attention to that.
“why. no?”
“Oh, no… that, it’s not like that…”
Seo-joon spoke to Soo-yeon again.
“Did you hear? In the future, ask him to help you, not Minyul.”
“That, is that okay…?”
“What’s not going to happen? I want to join Dream Academy, but I have to do that. So while you’re doing it, check it with all your might.”
“What if I get hurt?”
“What hurt? Haven’t you seen how he survives a direct hit with your magic? Don’t worry about that, check it properly.”
Suyeon didn’t know what to say at Seojun’s words.
Lee Ha-yoon is one of the greatest talents in professional hunter history.
It was because Seo-joon’s words were not wrong considering the last exchange.
And to be honest.
Lee Ha-yoon could be said to be the best practice partner.
After thinking this far, Soo-yeon drew out her mana with her eyes sparkling.
Roaring!!
Then, three fireballs float around Suyeon.
“Then thank you!”
Soo-yeon fired a fireball at Lee Ha-yoon without hesitation.
“Hey, wait…!”
Aaaaaaaang!
“Cool!”
Why the hell did you follow me?
Lee Ha-yoon slightly turned her head and looked at Kim Seo-joon.
Kim Seo-joon jumped in place several times while hanging the enormously heavy pouch from his body.
But why was the weight not cool?
Kim Seo-joon brought a few more large pieces of metal from somewhere and put them in his pocket.
Then he hung it on his body again.
“Haaaaaaa!”
Suddenly, I started doing squats.
“……”
So, Lee Ha-yoon’s secret to Kim Seo-joon, the last one.
‘When will the replacement director come…’
Kim Seo-joon is not insane.
#
Meanwhile, Lee Ha-yoon is having trouble at Dream Academy.
Korea was really excited.
The subject was none other than the upcoming Pro Hunter exam.
To be precise, it was the right expression to say that it was because of the professional hunter test that Kim Seo-joon was taking.
An unapproachable irregular that even Lee Ha-yoon, the best in the history of pro hunters, couldn’t compete with.
The public’s interest in what the pro hunter test he took was inevitable.

“well. I honestly think it’s okay to just give it away…”
“Shouldn’t I still take the test anyway?”
“What about the Association?”
“I don’t have anything else to say yet.”
