Academy Life of a Career Hypnotist

Episode 6. Joint class (2)

in the pitch darkness.

“Aww.”

“omg. I can’t see anything!”

“What is this… … .”

In turn, the voices of Min Seo-eun, Eom Na-yeon, and Seol Chae-hwa were heard.

Pod!

The darkness, which was invisible, was cleared by the cell phone light. Only then could we confirm each other’s safety.

“Everyone seems to be fine.”

Adults basically have a strong body. After being hit by a dump truck running at 100km/h, even if you hit the floor head first, it was an adult to stop at the level of a light hump.

“uh… . Is it because of your mood?”

While looking around with the flashlight mode on, Eom Na-yeon muttered in a puzzled voice.

“It’s not because of my mood.”

“huh?”

“Now the surroundings are becoming strangely clear. There’s no way I can only see this much around me with this light.”

I knew why.

“then… … .”

“They must have deliberately adjusted the brightness settings at the training ground.”

Someone swallowed their saliva.

What is the reason for adjusting the brightness setting? It seemed that there was no need to bring that intention out of his mouth.

Soon everyone will realize it for themselves.

[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]

Wow!

in slow time.

Beyond the boundary of darkness where cell phone light cannot reach. With a scream, an unidentified creature jumped out at lightning speed.

I pulled out the dagger I was wearing around my waist.

“Suck!”

With a short spirit, I swung my dagger at the gaping jaw.

If it was a real situation, the blade would have been stuck and there would have been no way to do it, but this place is a training ground. Because it was an entity adjusted for students to deal with, it was able to cut its head in two neatly.

“… … .”

“hmm? what. Why are you all staring at me like that?”

It’s been a while since I watched Monstrum disappear as it turned into a polygon. I realized that the members of the crew were looking at me strangely.

“What is Monstrum just now? It popped out of nowhere, how did you react?”

Nayeon Eom asked.

“How do you react? I saw and reacted.”

“Awesome. It popped out at the same time as I heard a sound… … .”

I didn’t have to say that I knew it was coming. Because it’s going to be annoying.

“First of all, we’re going to straighten out the battle lines. We have to stick together in this darkness.”

It was Seol Chae-hwa’s suggestion.

She is the so-called third-generation chaebol heroine. In fact, he was also the person who held the position of vice president of a private military company he had created with his own hands.

‘He must be the one most familiar with this situation.’

Min Seo-eun, somewhat frightened, looked around and asked.

“But where should I go in this darkness? I don’t know how to fight… … .”

“Ahahahaha. It’s like playing a horror game Aren’t demons popping up, not just Monstrum?”

“Ugh. don’t scare me… … .”

When Eom Na-yeon laughs and jokes, Min Seo-eun is startled.

I said to them

“Somewhere, teachers must be watching. We have to work together to get good marks.”

“I agree. And that one.”

“Kim Do-yoon.”

“yes. Doyoon Kim Mr. You seem used to dealing with monsters, so I’ll entrust you with defeating the main enemy.”

“It’s okay to speak casually.”

“no. I don’t want to unnecessarily close the distance.”

It’s tricky.

Seol Chae-hwa immediately gave instructions to Na-yeon Eom and Seo-eun Min.

“Nayeon is strong, so she leads the way, and I have to look at the situation from the back. Um, what’s your name?”

“Min Seo-eun.”

“Yes, Seo Eun stands in front of me. Kim Do-yoon will stay behind Nayeon and switch as she sees the situation. Keep that in mind.”

Why am I keeping my distance while talking to Min Seo-eun comfortably? it makes people sad

“But what if I get attacked while everyone else is fighting?”

When Min Seo-eun asks worriedly, Seol Chae-hwa soothes her with a kind smile.

“don’t worry. The monsters that appear in the training ground are designed to be able to be defeated with pure physical abilities.”

“But the speed at which I ran earlier was no joke, would it be okay?”

I was able to answer that question with certainty.

“are you okay. The ones that appear later will be slower than the first ones. Everyone can see it with their own two eyes and react.”

“How are you so sure?”

“I know when I see it.”

and after a while

A Monstrum rushed at our party, who was advancing in line.

“Eww!”

Eom Na-yeon’s picturesque round kick exploded. Although it may have been a bit bigger than the first object we met, it was a possible counterattack because it moved a little sluggishly.

“Look. You said you could?”

As I shrugged, Seol Chae-hwa narrowed her brows.

“How did you find out?”

“persimmon.”

“… … Is that one of your natural abilities?”

“Think what you like. Anyway, isn’t it important to be able to avoid a crisis?”

I know all the contents of this class. Because I can’t say this straight away.

‘Every event that takes place at this training ground contains the intentions of the teachers.’

Knowing that, I used the members in the right place.

“Min Seo-eun! That entity looks weak, so just kick it!”

“Seolchaehwa. Not that one! It comes from the ceiling!”

“Um Nayeon. stop for a second I can’t do it alone!”

It was then.

“Wait.”

While going for a while, Seol Chae-hwa suddenly stopped the party.

“Eh? what’s the matter?”

Eom Na-yeon asked, but Seol Chae-hwa looked at me and asked.

“Mr. Kim Do-yoon. Since when do you naturally give us instructions?”

“So what?”

“I am the leader. You just do what I say. What are you going to do if the instructions overlap and cause confusion?”

“So, have there ever been overlapping instructions? Have my instructions ever gone wrong?”

No answer came back. Just by looking at her grim expression, I could tell that she had nothing to say.

Awesome!

The battle continued.

It cuts the baby that jumps out from the side horizontally. By lightly taking a step back, I avoid the surprise attack by the guy that jumped out of the ceiling.

Kwajik!

I stepped on it and crushed his head.

“Huh. omg. But this class. I heard you’re going to defeat Monstrum… … . How many do you have to take down?”

After a moment of lull, Eom Na-yeon caught her breath and asked. However, no one answered.

‘I know, but it would look too suspicious to say this far.’

Our final target is a guy named ‘Twin Head Crocodile’. It was a monster with a body similar to that of an elephant, but with two crocodile heads.

The biggest fear that students have to overcome. There is still a course where you have to deal with beings bigger than yourself.

“well. Do you think the purpose is to escape this underground?”

I let go of my pretense and checked my remaining mental strength.

oh oh oh oh

At that moment, a terrifying noise was heard that shook the basement. I thought it was about time we met. The guy first revealed his presence.

“Mom!”

rumble. Kwak!

A strong shock wave shook the earth. While everyone is staggering for a moment in the earthquake that makes it difficult to control the body. I felt something thumping and approaching through the darkness.

“come! Everyone look ahead!”

oh oh oh!

A twin-headed crocodile appears.

“U-how are you going to defeat that?!”

Min Seo-eun was startled and took a step back. Seol Chae-hwa put her hand on her shoulder as if telling her to stay calm, but the person concerned also clearly looked nervous.

‘No matter how familiar I am with this situation, after all, my main job will be management.’

It’s hard to get used to the pressure you feel in the field unless you’ve worked in the field.

I adjusted my grip on the dagger and listened to the approaching footsteps.

‘Actually, if you look at the contents of this lesson, it’s an enemy that you don’t have to defeat.’

Teachers focus on improvisation and collaboration. They will focus on the process rather than the outcome, even if we don’t defeat the boss.

‘But in order to get the reward from this lesson, I definitely need to defeat it.’

I corrected my posture.

At last, a twin-headed crocodile emerged from the darkness. It was bigger than I thought.

“uh… … .”

“Hick!”

“Everybody get down!”

The members of the crew who were frozen at my cry prostrated themselves on the ground.

Whoo!

The boss’s tail-snapped narrowly passed by. The tail, which failed to attack, slammed the underground wall and shook the ground again.

[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]

The dust that fell from the ceiling stopped in the air. The roar that hit the eardrum sounds heavy as if it had been lowered to low speed.

In a world where everything slows down. I calmly recalled the characteristics of each heroine. I quickly devised a plan on how to defeat that boss.

First of all, Min Seo-eun. She has the nature of ‘patissier’, which allows her to cast special blessings on dishes.

[Remaining Spirit: 49%]

My mental strength has already dropped to less than half. What was needed in this situation was her ability.

I shouted as I released the mental acceleration.

“Min Seo-eun. Do you carry something like buff food?”

“… … ?!”

“Explanation later! If you have anything related to mental recovery, give it to me!”

Embarrassed, she took something out of her arms and threw it straight at me. When I received it, I found a madeleine in a transparent bread wrapper.

Without hesitation, I tore off the wrapping paper and shoved Madeleine into my mouth.

[Remaining Spirit: 51%]

[Remaining Spirit: 58%]

[Remaining Spirit: 64%]

… … .

Each time he chewed and swallowed the contents, he could see his mental strength rising.

After confirming that she had recovered to some extent, I looked at Nayeon Eom. She has the ability of a natural ‘guardian’ that specializes in protecting others.

“Um Nayeon! It looks like he’s about to attack, so step forward and block it!”

It opened its huge mouth and lunged to devour us.

“Loser!”

The moment her mouth, which had opened wide to chew and swallow us, was about to close fiercely, Nayeon Eom stepped forward and stretched out her arms. I could see tendons protruding from the muscles in my arms that I stretched out to keep my mouth from closing.

‘If it were a real twin-headed crocodile, it wouldn’t have been able to withstand its jaw strength.’

It must be made with a program, but how do you implement such kinetic energy? While admiring the technology in my heart, I went straight to the next action.

This time it was seolchaehwa.

“You know how to fly a drone, right?”

“… … It seems like he knows all of our nature one after another.”

“First, attack the guy’s eyes with a drone.”

She was able to control multiple drones at the same time through her nature called ‘Caster’, a power that allowed her to do multiple tasks at the same time.

“What next?”

“If you give a signal, the two of you hide behind Eom Na-yeon’s back. After that, I’ll finish it.”

“Are you saying you know what kind of power that Monstrum has?”

“uh.”

I watched the twin-headed crocodile in a power struggle with Eom Na-yeon.

‘If he behaves the same way as the original, he’ll go into an outburst pattern immediately after being attacked in the eye.’

Ugh.

Seol Chae-hwa sighed lightly and operated the drone. The watch, bracelet, hairpin, and earrings he was wearing fly up into the sky and transform into a miniature drone.

Piyung!

Kieee

A beam fired from a drone hits the eyes of a twin-headed crocodile. Soon after, a grotesque shivering scream shook the interior of the basement.

“A wide area attack is coming soon! Everyone hide behind Nayeon Eom!”

Change started from then on.

Just as animals stand up stiff when they are very nervous, the armor-like scales that surrounded the creature’s skin all stood up sharply.

bang! Quaang! Kwakwawang!

right after.

The twin-headed crocodile’s scales began to shoot out in all directions. Each one was a scale the size of a fist. It was so powerful that even just brushing against it could break bones with the impact.

“Wow!”

Eom Na-yeon flinched and deployed a shield. one of her celestials. To put it simply, it was a ‘safety shield’ that creates a square barrier in front of your eyes.

Empty! empty! Empty!

The scales collided with the barrier and were crushed with a bloody sound.

I recalled the boss’s next pattern. After making him cringe with a wide-area attack like that, he will try to run away.

In order to defeat him, he had to rush through the barrage of scale shells.

‘Can I pull it off?’

There was no other way.

I had to do it anyway to make it flow according to the original story.

He straightened his sword.

“Wow!”

“what are you doing?!”

The moment I threw myself into the gap of the scale shells, Min Seo-eun and Eom Na-yeon shouted in surprise.

Instead of answering, I swung the scales flying in front of me with my sword.

Kang! Grrr!

When he hit the hard rock with his wooden sword, a thrilling pain was transmitted from his hand and arm. The pain was enough to make me want to let go of the handle of the sword.

“Keugh!”

Pain confuses thinking and clouding judgment.

If I don’t do anything here, I’ll let go of the sword and lose sight of grasping the aching palm.

but.

[‘Emotion Implant’ activates.]

Misfortunes like that don’t happen. I can never lose my composure in any bad weather.

Shook! Hey profit!

It was the same with the scales that made a pangong sound as they brushed against their ears. No matter how much lively sounds scare me, I don’t shake.

[‘Mental Acceleration’ is activated.]

Avoid attacks that can be avoided, and attacks that cannot be avoided with a dagger.

visor! Taang! Drooling!

If you don’t even have the time to swing your arms, raise the blade of the dagger at an angle and let it slip away.

Every time the blade of the dagger touched the scales, sparks sprang up. A gusting wind blows through my shaggy hair and the hem of my dress.

Kieee

Before I knew it, I had reached the front of the guy.

The guy who was planning to run away suddenly stopped. As I got closer, I seemed to change my mind. Two alligator heads opened their mouths to devour me.

“Where!”

Chew! Quadduk!

I lightly dodged the attack and severed the tendons in his feet one by one. When he could afford it, he did not forget to scar the skin that had become shiny from shooting out the scales.

Kieeck!

As if making a final push, Twin Head Crotterdile’s tail swatter exploded.

[‘Delusion Practice’ is activated.]

I dodged his attack with back tumbling. Floating in the air, I threw the dagger in my hand into the guy’s mouth.

Kwajik!

thump… .

Shortly after hearing the terrifying destructive sound, the heavy body of the guy who had been making a grinding sound for a while finally collapsed.

“Have you done it?”

Eom Na-yeon let out an ominous sound, but there was nothing to worry about.

[Congratulations. You have passed all the training courses of this joint class.]

Because the guidance message from the training ground was printed in front of my eyes.

I took a quick breath as I watched the twin-headed crocodile disappear as it turned into a polygon.

[The score results are aggregated.]

[Aggregation result. The group of Kim Do-yoon, Min Seo-eun, Eom Na-yeon, and Seol Chae-hwa will be given an ‘A rank’ score.]
