chapter 16
16 – Grade Screening Test (2)
The moment you enter the unique barrier,
And the moment I closed my eyes again and opened it,
The forest grew darker, and a gentle wind blew.
Edwin, who was at the forefront, began to slowly step away.
see this guy?
“Hey hey hey.”
“… uh? me?”
Edwin, who is now looking back at us, was wondering if he was absorbed in other thoughts.
When it comes to party leading, it’s a soup rule that tanks do…
“You are a vanguard. I need some direction.”
“Ah, yes.”
He has awakened as an executioner, but he’s still an ugly guy.
Did the writer deliberately drain his intelligence to boost Kaeran?
“Then I will take the lead, so everyone is at a certain distance… ”
“under… ”
Frustrated, I spoke on behalf of the guy.
“First of all, you don’t have time, so why not say it while moving? After all, the position has been decided.”
“It is.”
“yes… ”
Arya and Hazel agreed as if they knew.

Just as I was about to leave,
“for a moment!”
At that time, it was Melissa who was betting on me.
“Why do you naturally instruct us?”
“What?”
“You’re the one who cheated on exams. You want us to listen to people like that?”
“Then you were the leader.”
“uh?”
Melissa blurs her words.
Because she’s an overbearing personality when she takes the baton.
Typical two-person style.
“As I said in the lecture, it’s enough to keep an eye on the front of Edwin, you on the right, I on the back, Aria on the left, and Hazel on the right. What, is there a better way?”
After I said something casually, Melissa began to scold her for something else.
“You, you, you, you are the rearguard. You never know when you’re going to ruin the exam, isn’t it dangerous? How do we trust you?”
Well, that’s a controversial statement…
Edwin began to stop him at the words that would have otherwise sounded like swearing at the rearguard.
“Wait, Melissa, you didn’t say it so harshly… . We are a team… ”
He said so, but Edwin also showed an uneasy expression.
I guess I still remember the memory of the duel with me.
But this made it clear.
Even if I am suspicious, it doesn’t seem like Arya and Edwin are exchanging information with each other, as I don’t really ask questions.
Because of Arya’s personality, she has a bad habit of trying to keep secrets by herself unless she is an open-minded character.
“Okay then… ”
I came to a simple conclusion.
“I will go to the vanguard. Is that okay?”
“What?”
“I am anxious. So let’s change seats. Are you responsible for deducting points?”
“uh… Then the rear… uh… ? Points?”
As Melissa pondered whether this reaction was unexpected, I passed the turn to Arya this time.
“Aria, what do you think? It was you who invited me to the party.”
Arya answered in a monotonous voice, as if she had no particular interest.
“… I think it’s right to go back to the original position. Changing the heat at will during the exam will be deductible, and Melissa and I need spell chanting, so the lieutenant is right, and Hazel-sama doesn’t suit the rear.”
Due to Arya’s pack width, Melissa had no choice but to fold one.
“If Leah says so… eww… Okay.”
“Oh, it’s a pity, so what can I do?
Melissa glared at me once and then shot at me.
“You, don’t be a nuisance.”
Then, as I watched her turn her head, I couldn’t help but laugh and frown.
.
.
.
As the rearguard, I started walking slowly behind everyone.
“radish… It’s scary… ”
As Hazel said, who was still absent, the forest was getting darker and darker as they went in.
Fortunately, there were no major problems in lighting the road with Arya’s divine magic.
It bothers me that sometimes Melissa sneaks a peek behind me to check on me.
“Because I won’t betray you… ”
“I’m sorry, but I’m just not sure because I’m not sure about you.”
“Yes Yes… You would.”
According to the novel, the monsters appearing in the test are Sejong.
– Goblin
– Goblin medium
– Ragged (tagged)
‘The key is to defeat the spirit medium.’
Spirit mediums have a gimmick that resurrects goblins for a certain period of time, so it is better to clean up the post-processing.
Newly resurrected goblins won’t give you loot, so if you resurrect, you’ll lose that much stamina and time.
How long would you have walked like that?
“back.”
I stopped the party.
“What?”
“It’s coming from behind. Aria, light this way.”
– Keek!
– Kiek, Kiek!
In the dark, the monster twisted its neck and began to howl.
– Whoa!
Among them, Hazelman screamed.
And in line with the sound, a dark shadow slowly began to appear.
As a bright light poured from Arya’s priest’s pole, the black new model that was running in an instant stopped.
‘After all, it’s like a goblin in the first place.’
Two large hobgoblins.
[Hop Goblin]
[Normal F+ Rank Monster]
[Humanoid]
[Risk: Low]
[Features: Summoned by Professor McClone]
A low-level monster that gamers would feel familiar with.
However, since he is a humanoid, he has minimal intelligence, so he can make surprise attacks.
Therefore, it is forbidden to be vigilant,
‘I ate it because it was like a dick.’
Whether it was a reflection of the game’s inflation or the writer’s taste, it was a hobgoblin rather than a simple goblin.
The only difference from regular goblins is that their skin color is dark red and demon horns are growing irregularly.
I also thought that there would be familiarity beyond familiarity as I have seen many monsters in the game, but in reality, I think I did a better job choosing the rearguard.
To see the face of the chest right in front of you and face each other with swords, maybe your heart isn’t ready yet.
“Upset… ”
Again, it was a ghastly appearance, and Melissa was also memorizing the chant with a frown on her face.
– Keek!
The goblin spit out something like that,
“?”
He passed me and ran to Edwin.
“!!”
“Hazel-sama, this way!”
“eww… Yes!”
The moment Edwin and the Hobgoblin were about to collide, a magical arrow made of flames began to explode at the Hobgoblin.
– Kiek!
Casting speed like a senior,
It was Melissa’s 3rd circle magic, Fire Arrow.
When you hear the shape or the sound of a hit, a magic arrow that can be inferred that it has been refined very well pierces the body of the hop goblin.
– Keek!
But they didn’t fall so easily either.
Rather, the tough skin was burning, giving off a stench, and was getting ugly.
And, I’m looking forward to this.
no?
Between them, I had no presence.
[The Hermit – Gamer Trait is activated]
[Recluse][Aggro: 2]
[*When your aggro reaches 100, the enemy (monster) will recognize you]
The reason the hobgoblin was only targeting Edwin was simple, even though I was the closest.
The ability to be passed down only once in a lifetime, acquired as a result of the confession attack, that can never be changed.
hermit.

This inherited ability, which I thought was just garbage, is a gamer’s characteristic, and when it is attached to the passive, the ability changes.
My presence, that is, in terms of the game, it was a function that eliminated aggro.
“die.”
– Whoops!
‘Oh… ‘
One of Melissa’s flaming arrows had already been roasted to well-done and knocked out.
– Keek!
The hobgoblin, who suddenly lost his companion, ran to Edwin once more.
However, there is no way that Edwin, who has awakened as an executioner, will be an opponent…
“Great!”
“Wow! flaw… no more”
there is…
The look of him struggling with one match.
Maybe you should hit a little bit more…
While everyone’s concentration was sold out, I put a protest on the crossbow’s fixing frame.
– Crash.
“It’s obvious, it’s obvious.”
Perhaps at this time, the goblin psychic will crawl in and see the angle to bring the hop goblin back to life.
“!”
“If you can’t see this street, it’s easy to hit it.”
Throughout the weekend, I concentrated on my basic stamina and just how to hit.
“Hey, what are you doing… !”
Ignoring the words of Melissa, who found me late,
After taking a deep breath and aiming,
Slowly exhaling… Pulled the trigger.
– Pick!
I felt the recoil echoing in the crossbow itself, and the arrow was fired at the same time.
It was blunt, yet light in taste.
– Puff!
The arrow drew a fine parabola and pierced something in the darkness.
[Critical hit!]
[Aggro: +12]
[Aggro: 14]
-talent… eh…
-thud.
maybe… It was a one shot one kill.
Arya brought the light where I shot the arrow,
“… Hey!”
“this… This… ”
A goblin, roughly adorned with skull-shaped handicrafts, trembled with its legs and then drooped.
“This… Did you see it?”
As everyone turned to look at me and the goblin in bruises, I threw out a single word.
“what are you doing? We start with the maintenance, and collect the loot.”
As I searched through the belongings of the goblin medium, Arya followed and helped out.
“Aww… ”
And our princess, Melissa, also squatted down and started searching for the body.
“Ah hot… ”
It looks like he can’t easily touch whether it’s a cat’s hand, or if it’s really hot.
“It burned too much. Didn’t the certificate burn out too?”
At that, Melissa groaned and shouted.
“no it’s not!”
.
.
.
Anyway, it was one shot.
If it was a psychic, there would have been a certain amount of protection, but it was an easy one shot.
This is not because I am strong.
It’s simply because of the critical hit, not because of the 2% luck attached to the crossbow skill.
In <Reincarnation Hero>, there is only one way to set the critical hit chance to 100%.
That is, when you attack an enemy that does not recognize you, critical hits are applied unconditionally, and the value is also applied at 300%.
It was a perk that all characters had by default.
Although the game company’s intention is to give an advantage to one-shot attacks while stealthed,
I have a hermit trait, so if I manage aggro, it’s like infinite critical.
The gap between fanfiction and games,
Play taking advantage of the loophole that only I receive the game system.
[Basic gamer]
Again, this was a scam passive.
‘Next, just put on the rags.’
