chapter 38
16. How to beat Aegis in joint training (1)
‘Are you out of your mind? How can you laugh during this training?’
albeit training.
I already said from the beginning of the training that now it is no different from a real battle.
Of course, there are problems with any jockey.
Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol’s special guerrilla training.
The training is an ideal training that can efficiently train the body of an awakened person.
Contrary to his appearance, which is quite classic and stubborn.
Hoon-cheol Yong is an open-minded instructor who always actively introduces the latest theories.
However, there were many cadets who disliked the current training, saying that it was ignorant.
‘Couldn’t rebel, huh?’
But the timing was odd.
Ordinary problem children disobey the instructor’s words from the beginning of training.
From the beginning, he laughed at his training method, saying it was outdated.
Rather, the more cadets like that, the more difficult it is to roll.
It is a good prey for Yong Hoon-cheol.
‘But it’s already been 3 hours.’
Such bravado will disappear after being rolled to death for three hours.
Training to the extent that even high-class cadets were shaking their bodies.
So if you’re smiling like me Junwoo Lee.
There will be only two answers to that.
Either they went crazy because of the excruciatingly hard training.
Or that he had such a strong mental strength that he even laughed lightly at this hell training.
I checked Lee Jun-woo’s profile again.
Ranked lowest in high school physical ability test for 3 years.
His physical ability was no more than that of an ordinary athlete.
‘With this kind of spec, it’s a training that will leave you crazy.’
So, after Hell Week is over, there is a time for mental treatment from the nuns of the Goddess Church.
Perhaps with those gruesome physical specifications.
Those 4 days of hell week.
It was more natural that his mind collapsed from that first training course.
‘Hmm?’
But at that very moment.
Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol looked at Lee Jun-woo’s eyes again.
And I was stunned on the spot.
‘for a moment. Those eyes…’
Lee Jun-woo’s eyes, which he saw again, were surprisingly clear.
It wasn’t the look of a madman.
Rather, it was the gaze of someone who sincerely enjoyed this hell training.
‘then. Is your mental power really ridiculously high?’
Check your profile and grades.
The theory score is very good compared to the practical score.
If that’s the case, at least it means that he didn’t succumb to that messed up physical ability and developed his own strengths.
‘Excuse me for that cadet. Rather… that cadet’s heart might be stronger than mine, the instructor.’
It wouldn’t be strange if he fell asleep already.
“Awakening guerrilla gymnastics No. 8. 30 times in a row! Are you out of your mind! Don’t do it right!”
Rather, there were cadets who collapsed one by one in the high class.
Nevertheless, Lee Jun-woo is enduring.
‘It’s amazing… mental strength.’
My body began to tremble more like an aspen tree.
However, Lee Jun-woo continued the training with a smile.
In a word, even in the extreme situations that an Awakener can face.
That Lee Jun-woo means I can stay calm.
A literal heart of steel.
In a way, it was downright crazy.
‘I guess Seong Jun-hyeok and Instructor Lee Su-yeon thought highly of that cadet for no reason.’
dump-
In the end, Lee Jun-woo passed out.
However, Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol had already finished the evaluation in his mind.
‘First training course. The number one is Lee Jun-woo.’
But Hell Week begins now.
Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol wonders how far Lee Jun-woo can last.
I hoped inwardly.
***
I opened my eyes.
It was an unfamiliar ceiling.
It was as if I had passed out and woke up.
‘here is…’
It seemed like a small auditorium at a training ground.
I was lying on the mat.
I slowly recall the scene right before I fainted.
He let out a sigh of relief.
“thank god. There will be no stat loss.”
It was a really grueling workout.
It was bare-handed short-handed gymnastics.
A special wit created by the notorious Yong Hoon-cheol.
Although I had to roll with a motion close to torture.
Contrary to his surprisingly ignorant appearance.
Yong Hoon-cheol was a master of awakening physical science.
‘My body hurts badly…’
So I endured the first training course that twisted my whole body to the limit.
It is different from normal training.
Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol’s training is optimized for awakened people.
It just feels like torture.
He showed a surprisingly systematic and in-depth strength training method.
——-
[Your strength has increased.]
* Strength: 23 (+3) [endurance 5 strength 10 balance 8 (+3)]
——-
In particular, his training method is body balance.
In other words, it was optimized to raise the balance of the body.
‘You said it went up by 3?’
that’s awesome
My strength went up by 3.
It wasn’t raised as a stat bonus, so I couldn’t choose it myself.
‘The most necessary stats have risen.’
So I couldn’t help but laugh.
My whole body felt like it was going to tear.
My mental stat is 90.
So I was able to endure it well enough.
Rather, do you think of the stat rewards you will get after this high-level training?
It was a really fun laugh.
‘Looks like a lot of people passed out besides me.’
Still, I saw the cadets sleeping together in the current auditorium.
It was a grueling workout.
‘I’ll have to endure this kind of training from now on.’
night of the third day.
To extract the maximum reward when the villains attack.
After all, I had to hit the last hit.
Even in the original quest.
When playing with high class cadets, the party is recognized.
There was a huge difference in reward between killing the villain directly and not.
‘But it’s not enough for now.’
So, what I prepared in the Department of Liberal Majors.
Evolution of skill.
I checked the evolving skills.
[warrant]——-
[The power is being activated.]
* Power Name: Faithful Guardian Knight of the Goddess (N) / 3★ / lv.17 / Paladin, Light
[Check the skills that can be evolved.]
▶ Active Skills / Evolvable
* Divine Strike (lv.2)
: Wields a powerful blow with the divine power of the goddess. The effect is increased on dark attribute monsters.
——-
As a Paladin, the main skill I use most often is Holy Strike.
There were two necessary stats in order to evolve that divine strike.
[Evolution skill]——–
▷▷ Divine Strike – 「Goddess Flame Sword」 / Rare Skill
: Combination of blazing fire from authority mana heart is possible. Inflicts the fire attribute on Holy Strike to increase its damage.
* Minimum required stats
: Balance 10 (muscle strength)
: Spell duration 8 (Intellect)
——-
Balance and spell persistence.
The two attributes of light and fire must be mixed.
Of course, it was necessary to balance the body to withstand the backlash of that attribute.
‘The durability to maintain the flame attribute mana.’
Since its balance stat is already 8.
As long as we endured the rest of the schedule, we were able to make up to 10.
And starting tomorrow, I’ll be hunting monsters with my party members.
‘Like Instructor Lee Soo-yeon’s training…’
If you actively use that flame magic stone, the durability stat will go up to some extent.
In the meantime, considering the rising trend of authority level.
You can create new strengthening skills by the edge.
‘It’s a rare skill different from normal skills.’
So it means I can take it without giving up the villain to the three Aegis.
If you do well, you might be able to receive an item to obtain a new power.
He had no intention of yielding anything to those three.
Also sneak peek at their recent status.
to reach my goal.
The main character party has to do some activity.
The ultimate goal of the main character’s party.
When An Yu-min approaches the target, I have to take it away.
Maybe if my mental powers were what they used to be.
Even that hypocrisy for my own benefit would have been very painful.
‘Perhaps I couldn’t have acted like that.’
But now I had no idea.
Rather, I am an avenger.
It felt natural to take all three of them.
Her hair was cold as usual.
Even though he is staying in the same building as An Yu-min.
He had no feelings for An Yu-min at all.
‘And Ha Ye-eun. I’ll have a hard time.’
Seeing that the sun is setting outside, it is soon evening time.
However, there is a trap dug by the instructors during this Hell Week.
Because that trap is the most painful trap for Ha Ye-eun.
“I will supply you with dinner and snacks! Don’t be lazy, everyone wake up!”
Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol’s training assistant woke up the students who had passed out.
and that moment.
‘Aegis. Jung Woon-kyung is with me now.’
Like the yoho tribe, the hair is very clever.
High class and middle class are competitors in this hell week.
So I have no intention of sharing that trap that only I know about with the high class.
‘If it’s Jeong Woon-kyung, he might secretly spy on the middle class.’
It means you need boundaries.
After that evening, I joined the middle class party members.
“Are you really okay with enduring that far?”
Lim Jae-ho said to me with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.
***
The first day of Hell Week.
The time has already turned into night.
Daytime training was hard enough to die for.
Jeong Woon-kyung, no Jeong So-so, is a woman of the Yoho tribe with high pride.
So, I could never show a tough side in front of the Aegis members.
‘Still, I really almost died.’
In the end, no one in the high class could hold back the moans of pain.
An Yu-min and Song Si-ah.
Even Ha Ye-eun, who has the divine power to heal her body naturally, rolled her eyes and passed out.
That’s why Jeong So-so’s spine was even colder.
‘The man. What happened.’
Junwoo Lee.
Jeong So-so’s predecessor.
I had heard from Ha Ye-eun that he was a lousy man as known to the world.
Aegis activity record that remained.
In particular, Jeong So-so was confused when he saw the activity records that Lee Jun-woo had organized himself.
– what? How could a cadet manage to do something like this?
Cheng So-so was very ambitious.
She also had the right to succeed the clan’s next head of household.
However, the succession ranking was only 13th.
To become the next family head with that rank.
It was absolutely impossible with mediocre performance alone.
So, the Aegis operator.
When she came in for the vacancy, she was very motivated.
‘But… what can a person who has done this much do!’
A man named Lee Jun-woo seemed like a crazy man.
Aegis’ porter.
And An Yu-min’s personal trainer. Ha Ye-eun’s broadcasting manager also worked in parallel.
Ha Ye-eun dismissed Lee Jun-woo as just a porter.
Cheng So-so, who checked all the records, was convinced.
‘He’s a genius operator. Without Lee Jun-woo, the Aegis could not have existed in the first place.’
Although I remembered the many records he left behind.
I couldn’t believe it at first.
But just today.
During the awakening guerrilla training of the day, Jeong So-so had a hunch.
From that terrible training that even she almost fainted.
Lee Jun-woo was smiling.
‘He’s crazy.’
It wasn’t an insult.
It was an instinctive fear of being a sub-species.
Instructor Yong Hoon-cheol’s training seems ignorant at first glance, but it is an effective training.
That’s why I, Lee Jun-woo, seemed to enjoy the training even though it was painful.
‘He’s a really meticulous man.’
And, of course, the person who became that man’s successor was Jeong So-so.
The first mission is in the high class.
To support the set of Aegis.
But today, seeing Lee Jun-woo’s mad laugh.
Jeong So-so couldn’t calm his mind.
‘I’ll have to check what the hell this guy is doing.’
I ate enough for dinner.
As much as the calorie consumption was high, the other cadets were having a snack time and break time.
Jeong So-so wanted to dig behind Lee Jun-woo first.
Perhaps, at the party training tomorrow.
You might be able to steal the strategy of that middle class.
Whirik-
He completely hid himself in the darkness using traditional Yoho magic.
Pure stealth alone is much higher than the skill of the Assassin class.
‘Lee Jun-woo. It’s a major surveillance target from now on.’
And secretly headed to the accommodation assigned to the middle class.
Through that window, I could see the cadets having a meeting.
‘Then where, Lee Jun-woo… Huh?’
That was the moment.
I had goosebumps all over my body.
Instinctively, it rang in my head.
‘Dangerous! Mmm, what happened…’
But Jeong So-so couldn’t escape.
someone whispered softly.
“What are you doing here?”
“Kyaaang!!!”
Jeong So-so was startled.
When I turned my head, Lee Jun-woo was right there.
