chapter 14
first practice
We gathered at the grand playground and followed teacher Song Si-yeol to the backyard of the academy.
In the backyard, there was a steel structure that did not match the style of the Academy building.
Song Si-yeol manipulated the control panel in front of the structure.
Soon, the steel structure spread out like a crouching bird with its wings spread out.
“Hey, this is… .”
“Didn’t the academy have something like this?”
It was a gate that scatters light blue energy.
Teacher Song Si-yeol led the students into it.
“now. Calm down, this gate is the entrance to the dungeon used by the academy as a training ground. You can freely enter and train from after school until 21:00, so please use it often.”
The students lined up and entered the gate.
Inside the gate, a huge forest spread out.
Field Dungeon.
It was a dungeon so large that it was impossible to know the end, and most of the clear conditions were unknown.
————-<Dungeon Entry>————-
[You have entered the ‘Gigantic Great Forest’.]
—————————————–
The academy has already been using this dungeon as a training ground for 10 years.
Near the gate, the academy made a base camp.
There were barriers protecting the camp and essential buildings such as restrooms and shelters.
Teacher Song Si-yeol led the students to the vacant lot.
Class A students had already come there and listened to the explanation.
“ruler. If you look at the edge of the vacant lot, you will find various types of weapons such as swords, spears, and bows. You bring one weapon of your choice from now on. You can change weapons for the time being, so let’s decide what we want.”
As he said, there were many kinds of weapons around the vacant lot.
There was some feeling of use, such as missing blades or worn handles.
I picked a window that was in roughly good condition.
The dagger is the most familiar, but when the habit of using a sword is exposed, I am reluctant to use it.
If it is similar to ‘The Dark Knight’, the tail will be caught one day.
Moreover, the value of creativity is the highest.
Whether dealing with people or monsters, the long reach was a huge advantage.
As I joined the ranks with a spear, I suddenly made eye contact with Park Ha-yeon of Class A.
She turned her head in surprise.
‘what?’
It felt like he had been looking at me for a while.
When all the class B students gathered, Si-Yeol Song sighed and spoke out.
“For three days from today, it is time to find the weapon that is right for you. Have each group bring their own weapon and hunt monsters in groups. More than.”
The students looked perplexed.
Suddenly catch a monster.
It deserved it.
One student raised his hand.
“Teacher. How do we catch monsters?”
Teacher Song Si-yeol took a deep breath and answered.
“Even if it is a monster, there are no dangerous monsters in this area. Maybe a horned rabbit or slime.”
This time, Yang Min-seo raised her hand.
“Do you have any guns?”
“When did that question come up? haha annoying… .”
I just said it was annoying… … .
teacher right?
“The academy does not offer a curriculum for guns. Because it’s too expensive. Well, if you have the wealth of yours, it would be worthwhile to use it.”
“okay.”
Yang Min-seo hugged the bow he had been carrying, reluctantly because he did not have a gun.
It was a very sad expression.
Guns are the greatest weapon of human civilization.
Unfortunately, it was inefficient when a status window appeared and monsters were pouring out of the gate.
It is possible to deal with small mobs with a gun, but even at the level of an orc, the mana barrier on the skin does not allow the dill to be pierced with normal ammunition.
However, it didn’t make sense to fire billions of missiles at a time, so the use of Awakening became common.
After repeated research, a bullet with the magical power of manatan came out, but it cost about 500,000 won per shot and was carried by wealthy people.
The teacher opened his mouth as if he had just remembered.
“ah. I almost forgot The captain comes out and takes the navigator. You can get lost if you go into the lush forest, so you have to look at the navigator to find the base camp.”
navigation.
It was in a dungeon, so it wasn’t using GPS, it was a wayfinding terminal that used artifact technology.
At first glance, it looks like a smartphone.
‘Did you almost forgot something so important?’
The academy was a tough school for students.
To set children free in this great forest.
It is said that there are quite a few missing persons every year.
Considering that the predecessor of the Hero Academy was the Hunter Academy, it was not difficult to understand.
The reason why students can’t keep up with this dangerous practice is that it’s a great privilege to enter the dungeon.
The quickest way for an Awakener to raise their rank is to go around the dungeon, but the guild or management monopolizes most of the dungeon.
The gates are starting to appear again, so things will change a bit in the future.
“Then go ahead. You have to catch prey by 12:30 and return. In the event of an emergency, press the SOS button on the navigation system. The teachers will go find them.”
We roughly prepared ourselves and went into the great forest.
Trees soaring to the sky.
At first glance, it was even bizarre.
The inside of the forest was quite dark because the trees did not get any sunlight.
I, who I knew from seeing the game, suddenly felt fear.
A sense of isolation that you have come as a foreigner to a remote place that is completely different from Earth.
The fear that if I lost my navi here, I would never be able to go back.
For some reason, I got goosebumps as I became so shabby myself.

Ji So-yeon with a dagger said cautiously.
“Hey, uh. Wouldn’t it be better not to go too far?”
Oh Hae-na sneered at her like that.
“under. You have walked 300 meters at best right now, haven’t you?”
At that time, I felt a sign in the grass to the northwest.
I glanced at Yang Min-seo.
Her skill was good for checking the ambushed enemy.
Even if she couldn’t see clearly, she was assisted by skills, and in her field of vision, it would be classified into types such as ‘grass’, ‘grass’, ‘horned rabbit’, and ‘grass’.
“It’s a horned rabbit. Can you catch me?”
horned rabbit
An E-class monster that literally looks like a rabbit with horns.
When cornered, there are cases where it leaps with its horns at the forefront, so sometimes people get hurt.
Although Yang Min-seo was holding a bow, it was assumed that he originally used a gun, so it was difficult to expect anything.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Ji So-yeon is a short sword that is mistaken for a dagger.
The horned rabbit is also a rabbit, so it will run away if there is even the slightest pretense of popularity.
Perhaps it is unreasonable to catch rabbits with their skills.
Am I the only one left
“I will throw the spear. Oh Hae-na, blow the wind toward the Horned Rabbit at the right time.”
“What are you, dictate? On a D-class subject.”
“ha.”
I looked at Yang Min-seo without saying a word, and she paid attention to Oh Hae-na.
“huh. Only this time.”
Oh Hae-na eventually surrendered.
‘He keeps trying to fight.’
A little annoying.
I didn’t learn anything about javelin, but strength and agility B-class are not forms.
I felt I could do it.
As his abilities increased, his motor nerves seemed to have improved as well.
I put my spear arm behind me and gave it a strong recoil in the direction of the Horned Rabbit.
A window that flies through the air.
“Quick.”
It sounded like an animal’s flurry.
We ran into the grass.
A horned rabbit pierced by a spear.
Because the monster is a monster, it survived the piercing state and was wagging its legs.
A red gem appeared, but I ignored it.
The only characteristic of ‘The Dark Knight’ is that it leaves only ashes with blue flames.
It was impossible to create a contact point between Shin Noda and the ‘Dark Knight’.
“Great.”
Yang Min-seo slightly admired it.
I ignored it.
I was also a C-class dungeon solo.
It’s really the same with being proud of catching a horned rabbit.
Then a scream was heard nearby.
“Ahhhh!”
“Aww.”
Screams of men and women.
It was most likely the other group of students.
“what?”
I mumbled and turned towards the sound.
Yang Min-seo followed me and stopped me.
“for a moment. Know what dangers there will be! First of all, let the teacher know.”
“Then press the SOS button. I’m going to help.”
“It’s not like that!”
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Ji So-yeon and Oh Hae-na also joined Yang Min-seo and added a word to each other.
“Listen to Yang Min-seo. This is a dungeon. It’s not like I’m going to go on a D-class topic recklessly.”
“Hey, I think it’s better not to go… . It could be dangerous… … .”
There’s nothing dangerous about my status, but I can’t say this and it’s really frustrating.
Even if I don’t wear any items, my strength and agility are B-class.
If it’s a female job, you can wear a dragon sword and try to get an A-grade pumping.
I was forced to pretend to be a just character.
“I go anyway. It might be able to buy time for classmates injured by telekinetic energy to escape. And it’s dangerous not to go. Didn’t you come to the academy to be your hero?”
“… … .”
momentary silence.
Yang Min-seo shook her head, raised her hands, and pretended to surrender.
“Ehh. I know. Let’s go. Instead, if it’s dangerous, I take it out right away.”
“No, you don’t even have to take risks. Even if you press the SOS button and wait here… .”
“It can’t be. It’s a team.”
Oh Hae-na had a look of following Yang Min-seo’s words, and Ji So-yeon was restless with a frightened expression.
She murmured in a worried voice.
“Oh, I can’t… … .”
