chapter 24
Episode 24 Position (2)
At exactly 8:30, a woman wearing office look entered the classroom.
She is a character that Seojun Kang has seen countless times while playing [Grand Hunter Academy].
It was Kim Joo-hee, the homeroom instructor for class 1 A at Korea Hunter Academy.
She is also a class A hunter and her specifications are similar to those of Seo Eun Hana and Park Seo Yoon.
As soon as Joohee Kim entered her classroom, she briefly introduced herself and presented her schedule for the day.
The cadets’ schedule today is simple.
During her training, she had to choose the weapon she would use, followed by her own position.
Class A followed Kim Joo-hee to the main auditorium.
That place was literally an armory.
“Wow.”
“Ohh.”
A quiet sigh escaped from the cadets at the enormous scale.
“When your number and name are called, repeat your name, come forward, select a weapon, and sit in the seat across from you to wait.”
Kim Joo-hee looked at her cadet record and called out the number of her first cadet.
“Number 1. Kang Seo-jun.”
Coincidentally, number 1 was Kang Seo-jun.
Kang Seo-jun stepped forward, repeating his name in a hoarse voice.
“Yes. No. 1 Kang Seo-jun.”
Kang Seo-jun was standing quite far behind, so he had to squeeze some of the cadets to get forward.
-Waddle!
The cadets crept left and right, as if they didn’t want to touch him at all, like a miracle of Moses.
“Ugh….”
“Don’t touch it…!”
“Rain, I’ll get out of your way…!”
“Kya!?”
The female cadet even let out a loud scream when her collar lightly brushed against her.
Thanks to this, Kang Seo-jun was able to move forward without being hindered by anything.
“Choose a weapon.”
The choice Kang Seo-jun would make had already been decided a long time ago.
He waddled to the location of the weapon he had in mind.
It was a magic wand.
He took it in his hand without hesitation.
As Kang Seo-jun waddled to the seat across from him, tapping the ground with his magic wand, the cadets whispered in low voices.
“Magic wand? Was he a wizard?”
“No. I heard you got an F grade during the last measurement.”
“What? Then why did you choose a magic wand?”
“Didn’t you just choose it to use when walking?”
“Phew! It seemed plausible.”
“The kids who are in the same group as him. It’s pitiful.”
“It could be you.”
“No.”
“…….”
Kim Joo-hee also tilted her head when she saw the F-grade magical power recorded in Kang Seo-jun’s resume.
“Cadet Seojun Kang. Are you sure you chose the right weapon? Check the weapon you chose.”
Originally, the Korea Hunter Academy is a selection institution, not a training institution, and the cadets’ mistakes are solely their own responsibility.
This kind of favor from Kim Joo-hee was quite unusual.
That’s because Kang Seo-jun’s choice was astounding to the instructors and cadets.
He holds a magic wand even though he has no magic power to use it.
It was like a gun without bullets.
Are you planning on using it as a blunt weapon?
Or did he really need a cane to walk?
However, Kang Seo-jun’s answer was full of confidence.
“Yes, that’s right.”
In response to that confident answer, Kim Joo-hee did not ask any more questions.
Your willpower is at grade A+, so you probably haven’t given up already.
I thought he must have his own thoughts.
“Good. Next. Number 2. Kim Gun-mo!”
The choice of main weapon was a quick decision.
Swords, spears, bows, magic wands, and even minor weapons such as daggers, crossbows, batons, and whips.
Class A’s choice of weapons was quite wide.
Jin Se-rin chose a spear, Park Shin-hoo chose a huge greatsword, and Lim Chae-yeon chose a longbow.
The main weapon selection was completed with the last cadet of Class A choosing the sword and shield.
“Then next is position selection.”
When Kim Joo-hee pressed the small remote control in her hand, each cadet’s wrist rang.
It was a smart watch that came as a set with the cadet uniform.
“Everyone, check your smartwatch. Please note that your position will still apply in team missions and opponent matches.”
When I pressed the smart watch, a position selection window appeared.
A fighter who fights up close, a tank who protects the team, a mage who uses magic, a shooter who fires from a distance, a supporter who assists the team in various ways, a jungler who specializes in solo action and reconnaissance….
And an all-rounder who plays all positions.
-Beep. Beep beep. Beep beep.
For each position, the numbers below rose and fell.
Positions also apply to opposing matches, so we had to pay attention to the position composition of each class as well.
Cadets who could play a variety of positions would consider their choice by looking at the composition ratio, while cadets who specialized in only one specialty would simply pray that the balance of positions would be lucky.
But none of them chose the all-rounder.
Except for just one person.
-Beep.
“Huh…?”
When a number that shouldn’t go up went up, one of the cadets made a dumb sound.
And then I look around.
The reactions of the cadets around him were similar.
It was a matter of keeping an eye on who chose the all-rounder.
“Who is it?”
“What kind of pipe is it? Change it quickly.”
“Ah. It’s a real test, so don’t joke around.”
None of the academy cadets dares to choose an all-rounder.
This was the same for Park Shin-hoon, who is mentioned as a top candidate, and Jin Se-rin and Lim Chae-won, who are equally promising candidates.
If an all-rounder is selected, the cadet will be randomly assigned a position for each test.
Of course, you will receive quite a few additional points, but no one chooses to become an all-rounder for that.
The reason was obvious.
There is no one who is excellent at sword and magic, long range, team protection and support, scouting and maneuvering.
If you choose the all-rounder position, you are not the only one taking risks.
The team that joins him also takes on risks.
As positions are always assigned randomly, you may be assigned to the weakest position, and the team’s position balance can easily be ruined.
This was the reason why the cadets of Class A looked around, looking for the culprit.
Because someone is trying to troll.
All-rounder was in fact a position that existed for the genius of the century, or a trap position that only existed in form.
“Quiet.”
Kim Joo-hee quieted the noisy cadets.
She said, looking around at her cadets.
“Everyone, please make sure there is nothing wrong with your position selection.”
She also said this after looking at her all-rounder position.
However, she knew who had chosen the all-rounder position.
Kang Seo-jun.
In fact, he was taking his time without checking his position selection.
Kim Joo-hee strengthened her voice and warned once again.
“Check your position without leaving anyone out. I will not warn you any more.”
However, there was no further change in the position.
In the end, Kim Joo-hee sighed and looked at Kang Seo-jun.
“I will check from number 1. Cadet Seojun Kang.”
“Yes.”
“Is there anything wrong with the position selection?”
“Yes. All-rounder. There is no problem.”
He revealed himself to be an all-rounder.
At those words, the cadets’ expressions were colored with astonishment.
“Wow. What?”
“Ha…Fuck….”
“It was him? Aren’t you crazy?”
As the murmur intensified, Kim Joo-hee controlled the cadets.
“Quiet. Quiet!”
Then he looked at Kang Seo-jun with solemn eyes and said.
“This school is a selection institution, not a training institution. You must take full responsibility for yourself. Do you know that?”
“Yes.”
“Do you think your choice could harm other cadets?”
Kang Seo-jun spoke with confidence.
“That won’t happen.”
“…….”
Kim Joo-hee looked at Kang Seo-jun in silence.
I was trying to gauge whether he was joking or serious.
Actually, I had already heard about him from a senior instructor.
During his entrance exam, there was one impressive gemstone in his group.
Although all his abilities were poor, I expected that with that level of willpower, he would definitely show something.
‘It shows something.’
However, in Kim Joo-hee’s eyes, it seemed more like courage than her will.
“I will ask you one last question. Is it clear?”
“Yes.”
At that resolute answer, soft sighs were heard from all over.
Those small sighs appeared before Kang Seo-jun’s eyes like chat records.
“Ha… I’m so lucky.”
“What a crazy guy…”
“I will have to give up at least 3 real exams….”
“If I end up on the same team as that guy, I’ll just have to give up on the exam.”
“I didn’t choose the weapon properly, even the position…”
“Isn’t this just going to destroy one team?”
“Don’t worry. It looks like I’ll fail before the first semester is over.”
“Please do that…”
More than 90% is resentment.
[The constellation “The Sympathetic Hermit” Sponsors dimensional currency as a means of consolation.]
I didn’t think it was something to be comforted, but I didn’t bother to show it.
-Roaring.
Kim Joo-hee also decided not to ask any more questions.
“I understand.”
As I said, this is a selection institution, not a training institution.
He had already been given more than enough opportunities.
‘If I had made use of my willpower and become a supporter or jungler, I would have at least had some possibility….’
If you are a supporter or jungler, there are quite a few things you can do with Kang Seojun’s spec.
Scavenge in the dirt that the team avoids, or act as a human ward by staying in one place for a long time.
‘You guys really don’t believe this.’
It was only regrettable for Kang Seo-jun to see the reactions of those around him in real time.
‘I have a plan.’
Honestly, even if he is not an all-rounder, Kang Seo-jun carries a lot of burden no matter what position he plays.
If I had to choose a place where I could be active in the current spec, it would be support and jungler.
However, if that happens, you will have to do very well on the test to barely get into the middle rank.
That’s not Kang Seo-jun’s style.
You cannot obtain the fruit of the sun that way.
This concept is the extreme king.
High risk, high return.
The position could not avoid that risk.
Of course, I didn’t choose All-Rounder just to follow the concept without any plan.
‘I memorized the Korean Hunter Academy exam over and over again until I got sick of it.’
He is a person who has already conquered every test in every position.
All-rounder was practically a position that existed just for him.
‘No matter what position you are in on any test, just prepare accordingly.’
Whether he was a fighter, a shooter, or a supporter, he had the ability and information to perform the appropriate role and mission.
Even if it’s only the first semester, the evaluation of Kang Seo-jun will change a lot.
Of course, his specs would become stronger as he prepared for the exam.
And after completing all the academy exams.
‘After eating the fruit of the sun, I was confirmed to be a king of extreme extremes. ‘It’s a happy life in another world.’
While everyone was immersed in sighs and sorrow, only Kang Seo-jun was smiling with anticipation.
