Sega slowly opened his eyes as he saw a red light flashing before his eyes.

“eww…….”

Looking around, I saw that my lower body was submerged in foul-smelling water, while my upper body was resting on the shore.

And in the water, a small, disgusting, larval-shaped creature, about 1.5 meters long, was biting his ankles.

“Kirurur?”

“Ah, f*ck!”

Sega kicked the guy with his foot, blew his head off, and then jumped up and got out of the water.

‘What the heck is going on? Where am I?’

Apparently, he was in the process of catching and dismantling a hell thorn bug.

‘Yes. I heard the motion detector sound from behind. Iljinrim reacted, and the masked man used an artifact that emits mental waves. Joo Dahyun was hit directly and was incapacitated… … A bright blue light… … Ah. It was telekinesis.’

The weakened ground collapsed after being attacked by a psychic.

Segawa Jinrim, a telekinesis user, was able to quickly retreat, but Dahyun, a telekinesis user, fell down while incapacitated by a headache, and he jumped down to catch Dahyun.

‘It definitely looked like I grabbed it and hugged it. Did I get caught in the current?’

The underground waterway was not very deep, but it was quite wide and had a fast flow.

It felt like he had fallen for nearly 6 seconds, so it was quite possible that he had lost sight of Dahyun as he was pushed by the current in addition to the shock of falling several dozen meters.

‘I don’t think I would have fallen due to the shock of the fall… because I fell back into the water while hugging him. Anyway, only about 30 minutes have passed. I have enough stamina and potions. Let’s find Dahyun, meet up with Jinrim and Gyeom, and then continue the test. And catch the masked guy.’

Sega walked upstream along the edge of the waterway.

Because the place where he stopped was in a very shallow area, it seemed unlikely that Dahyun would have floated any further down.

Splash. Splash.

As I walked along the road with only the sound of water to be heard, the thought of who had done this occurred to me.

‘Who on earth is it… Kang Joo-hyuk? No. If it was him, he would have come out head-on. Or maybe it’s High-jun from Class 6? But he’s not a telekinesis user. He doesn’t have the power to do it with just an artifact. If it’s from that list… … .’

‘Who the hell are you?’

‘Hey. Let’s stop. Dahyun should have been acting up a little more often. I think she’d have thought about attacking me at least once.’

I couldn’t tell who it was, but one thing was certain.

‘She’s a great telekinesis. Even though she’s weak, she was able to completely collapse the ground. But is there a telekinesis with that level of strength among the first-year students besides Joo Da-hyun? Even Yoo Sang-ah from Kang Joo-hyuk’s faction wouldn’t be this strong? It might be possible if Yoo Sang-ah used an artifact, but… … .’

The first-year’s excellent telekinesis was at a level where he even used amplification artifacts.

‘When I get back, I’ll have to ask Kyeom to check. No. Maybe Iljinrim has already caught him and killed him halfway. He’s very thorough in that regard.’

As I was gritting my teeth, determined to find the culprit and bring him down, I heard footsteps in front of me.

It seemed as if the blue waves of psychokinesis were visible.

Splash. Splash.

Sega ran over, shouting happily.

“Joo Da-hyun?”

But what emerged from the edge of the waterway was an immature snakehead about 3 meters tall.

“Keeek?”

The formless sword was clearly visible on the purple scythe-like forelegs.

“… … If I had heard that, I would have cursed. Where did he look like that was him?”

Sega smiled bitterly and formed a fireball with his left hand.

It might be a waste of energy, but I wanted to vent my frustrations about the situation.

-!

The entire waterway was covered in blue flames, and the young snake mantis burst out, leaving behind only the magic stone.

Sega picked up the blue piece and put it into the terminal on his wrist.

Beep.

30 points were awarded with a cheerful sound.

‘It’s efficient.’

After walking about 100m more, I came to a place where the ceiling got much higher.

There was a vertical cave in the ceiling, and there were caves on both sides.

“Ah. Really-.”

“Kirrrrrrrr… … .”

Inside, about fifteen baby pythons, each about 3 meters tall and 9 meters long, and one adult python, each about 8 meters tall and 24 meters long, sparkled with their eyes.

“This is not it.”

If it was 8m tall, it would be a strong enough adult to withstand a one-sided beating from the top four teams of Shinsoul for a while.

Dozens of pairs of red eyes glared at Sega.

“This hellish school!”

* * *

Sega threw away his bag, drew his sword, and wrapped it around his sword.

At the same time, he fired a KH2 submachine gun at a 3m-tall snake that was rushing towards him from the front.

Doo doo doo doo doo-!

An orange flash of light appeared in the dark void, and the carapace of the first snakehead cracked open.

Pubber pubber pubber-!

Masu instinctively tried to use telekinesis to create a force field, but before he could finish, dozens of bullet holes ripped through his cobra-like hood.

with a splash!

Four snakeheads fell to the ground.

‘You can neutralize three C-class demons with just a few dozen bullets? That’s so, so efficient?’

Sega used portrait bullets mixed in between regular bullets.

‘Thank you, Professor Shingyo.’

In the slums, you would have to empty several magazines to catch one or two N-class beasts.

Ten baby snakeheads followed the four.

“Keeeeeek-!”

Taat! Blame!

Sega took one leap, stepping on the platform of power, and another leap, kicking off the common wall.

Percussion!

He jumped over the heads of the 3-meter tall demons and ran towards the 8-meter tall demon.

‘I learned this in Comprehensive Hunting Studies class. Demons that live in groups are more likely to run away when the strongest one is defeated. I catch that one while I still have magic power left.’

Of course, the adults were of a different class.

Bang, bang!

The 50 bullets remaining in the magazine, whether regular or super-grained, all ricocheted off the creature’s shell without even making a scratch.

Moreover, even though he was 24m tall, he felt that Sega’s sword was dangerous and retreated.

Shhh.

Four red eyes seemed to flash in the darkness, and the snakehead swung its scythe-like forelegs in quick succession.

wickedness!

If someone who didn’t know saw it, it would be a ridiculous sight that could be seen as someone waving their hand in the air, but to Sega’s eyes, he could clearly see the bright blue blades of psychic magic pouring down.

‘Is it because of the intermediate magic friendly potion? It looks better.’

‘But this is only a C-class?’

bang!

The rock wall behind Sega, who was hit by the Formless Sword, collapsed miserably.

If you hadn’t seen it and avoided it, it would have been so powerful that even the strongest of them would have lost all of their gauges.

‘But even though the movements are so big, it’s not impossible to avoid!’

Brain cat surgery, cool down.

Thump thump.

My heart rate slowed down and time passed more slowly.

The snakehead smiled slyly, then put strength into its scythe-like forelegs.

visor!

Sega discovered that the snakehead’s forelimbs actually had folded fingers, and that the ‘sickle’ they were seeing was just one of those fingers.

“Fucking world… … !”

Four from the left, four from the right.

In the dark gate, only blue magic is visible.

At once, eight intangible swords shot down with the momentum of tearing Sega apart into five parts.

Choaaaak!

“Nothing is easy!”

Sega gathered his magical power and launched a campaign.

bang!

The moment the Formless Sword struck Sega’s sword, he used the principle of Seonyu using the opponent’s strength to push them away and move to a safe place.

Also, the essence of a good deed is to ‘receive’.

By repeatedly contracting and amplifying the sword energy, he created his own territory little by little.

‘Professor Kendo. You’re writing well.’

Phew.

Step back slightly and contract it.

Chomp!

Move forward decisively and amplify.

“Keeeek!”

The snake mantis shot out its invisible sword with the force of a rain shower.

However, Sega swung his sword like the corona of the blue sun and repelled the snake mantis’s formless sword.

‘Now fireball!’

The moment when I finally found the leisure to take a glimpse of the opportunity.

The grinning snakehead burst into a distant trance.

“¦¦¦¦-!”

Intangible waves often shook the entire space.

Sand and gravel rained down from the ceiling.

“Keeeeeeee-!”

The 3m tall entities howled even more violently upon hearing the waves, and Sega almost collapsed from a severe headache.

‘still.’

It seemed to have definitely improved since I first heard it.

No, it’s different from when I just counterattacked with the resonance wave from above.

It’s not that I already know the pain, I’ve just gotten used to it.

Even though I finished the intermediate magic potion, the growth rate was crazy.

‘This is my chance.’

Anyway, right now I needed certainty rather than doubt.

An adult snakehead crawled forward as if to attack directly and struck down its forelegs.

Sega waited until the very end and then spread the word.

‘Take it gently.’

The demon’s front paw, which would have eaten up an entire battalion by itself in the early days of the opening, was about to explode Sega’s head.

wickedness!

A pale blue blade slashed up the side.

However, since there was no comparison in terms of strength, it was the blade that was pushed back.

The boy hunter, who maintained the correct posture, was pushed away and gained safety.

Crunch!

He cut down the sword with one stroke.

The joint part of the bone blade, which was taller than Sega, was cut off in one go.

Cheeeeeeeing-!

At that moment, Sega used the bio-radar and detonated a resonance wave.

thud!

‘Will it work? No.’

Blue electric sparks shot out from around his hair, the red light in his eyes flickered like that of a demon, and waves that froze his muscles and magical power shot out in all directions.

‘Make it work!’

Boom! Boom!

The 8-meter tall demon flinched for a moment.

That was enough.

‘Professor Banhaedo. Thank you always.’

Sega kicked off the translucent platform and leaped over the demon’s head, becoming a blue line with sparks flying from it.

Tsukaaaaak-!

‘Professor Kendo Shin too.’

Green fluid flowed from the demon’s thick neck.

“I got it.”

with a splash!

A giant snake fell into the waterway.

Sega stood on the back of the demon and glared at the young demons.

‘They’ll all run away now, right? Then let’s take out the magic stone and go. … … Huh?’

At that moment, countless footsteps were heard from the vertical cave extending above the cave and from the caves extending to the left and right.

Worker bees, larvae, caterpillars, young snakeheads, crickets… … .

“Keeeeeek!”

“Shhh!”

“Krrrrrr!”

The eyes of at least 300 demons flashed in the darkness.

“No! What?! Why are you all here?”

* * *

“I thought I was going to die.”

Sega leaned back against the wall, sighed deeply, and drank the recovery potion.

The stamina gauge, which had dropped to 10%, rose back up to 70%.

If I hadn’t just started blasting fireballs, I might have died, vest and all.

My heart ached and my hands trembled because I used up so much magical power at once.

Even in the midst of all this, I somehow managed to escape with the magic stone of the 8m-tall snake mantis.

‘They said the magic stone was worth 100 million won per kg. For something this heavy, I could probably get 150 million won.’

‘There are three bottles of low-level magic affinity potions. I have to take care of these myself. It was worth risking my life for.’

“… … A little better… … .”

At that moment, a human voice was heard from one of the caves.

“Joo Da-hyun?”

Sega immediately got up and went into the cave.

‘Thank goodness I wasn’t eliminated.’

As I quickened my pace, the voices became louder and louder.

It seemed like we only had to turn one corner now.

“But please understand this one thing. I have no personal feelings.”

“Shut up, you fucking bitch!”

But the content of the voice and the owner of the voice were unusual.

‘What is this situation?’

Sega stopped in his tracks, took off his bag, and took out the artifact from inside.

The Hood of Hiding.

It was an artifact obtained from a designated mission evaluation.

He put it on lightly and breathed magic into it, and an invisible curtain covered his entire body.

I turned the corner, muffling the sound of my footsteps.

In the middle of a small community, Na Yeo-su, Joo Da-hyun, and several other students were gathered.

“You. I will definitely kill you.”

Joo Da-hyun was wearing handcuffs that appeared to be artifacts on her wrists, and her protective vest and the terminal on her wrist were both removed.

“… … .”

Nayeosu stood next to her as if watching her.

‘what’s the matter?’

Just looking at it gave me an ominous feeling.

Sega drew his sword with a muffled voice and checked the faces of the gathered students.

‘The kids from class 6 and class 13 are mixed together?’

As I approached a little closer, the face of the last female student, who was surrounded by other students and had not been seen before, came into view.

“Okay. If you can, do it. Sister.”

Short black hair partially dyed blue.

Small face, like Joo Da-hyun.

An arrogant and haughty expression.

Jurahyun.

“Are you ready?”

She nodded to Na Yeo-su.

“They’re both too big. If they keep doing this and get poisoned, I’ll die.”

Na Yeo-su answered reluctantly.

“Really? It’s okay. If you fail, I’ll kill you anyway.”

Joo Ra-hyun laughed out loud.

Na Yeo-su clenched her teeth as if she was about to cry, but she couldn’t open her mouth and just lowered her eyes.

“… … You are right.”

For a moment, yellow electric sparks flew around her brown hair.

“It catches the bio-radar.”

Joo Ra-hyun muttered, “Who is he talking to?” and Na Yeo-su looked straight at where Sega was standing.

Sega smiled bitterly and took off his hidden hood.

“What the heck is this situation?”

Jurahyun and the students around her suddenly stood up from their seats.

“Excuse me, what’s the situation?”

“How did you find me?”

Their eyes shook uneasily.

Some swallowed, some grabbed machine guns and swords, but none of them were sure of victory.

Na Yeo-su sighed deeply at that amateurish attitude.

Swish.

Then he pulled out a karambit knife made from a devil’s claw from his waist and held it under Joo Da-hyun’s neck and said.

“The situation is like this. Give me the knife and take off your protective vest.”
