I Became an Academy Overpowered Marksman

29. first drop out

-Kwajijijik-!

As the barrier began to crack, Heo Cheol-hoon, who was inside, thought.

‘This… does this make sense?’

It was embarrassing. It shouldn’t have happened. Because he brought in an artifact from outside. Even the artifacts brought in from outside were directly received from Yoo Hee-yeon, and had epic-grade value.

Yoo Hee-yeon had visited Heo Chul-hun before the F-Class representative selection started.

**

“You, sure… You said your name was Heo Cheol-hoon, right? You have a lot of trouble in F class.”

“You… aren’t you Heeyeon Yoo?”

“What are you looking at so strangely? It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen it.”

Yoo Hee-yeon is a celebrity at Broad Academy. She is the daughter of Artemis’ guild leader, so of course she is someone you can’t possibly know. Even, she is the chief of practical skills in the first year of Broad Academy. In addition, writing was second to none.

There were very few academy students who excelled in both related knowledge of magic and practical use of martial arts, and in addition to Yu Hee-yeon’s family background, it was an environment where she could not help but become a great celebrity.

So, Heo Cheol-hoon knew about Yoo Hee-yeon. he thought to himself.

‘How does Yoo Hee-yeon know about me?’

It was a legitimate question. Because Heo Cheol-hun was only a rarity-level thief. Being a thief was not a very promising job. Even, because he has the demerit of being a rare grade, Heo Cheol-hoon is just an ordinary student with one in each academy. had such a position.

On the contrary, Yoo Hee-yeon is the person at the top of the pyramid. I felt honored that she recognized her, and at the same time, I felt that it was an opportunity.

‘I don’t know why you came to me. It’s an opportunity.’

Yoo Hee-yeon, the only daughter of Artemis’ guild leader. If this continues, Artemis Guild will be inherited by Yoo Hee-yeon, and she will become the head of the Artemis Guild, which has the largest scale and mightiest in the country’s history. Later, when more time passes than now, Yoo Hee-yeon will be reigning in a place that is difficult to even reach. If she pays off her debts, or if she does a favor, she might be able to get at least one really high official position.

‘No, it doesn’t matter if it’s not that high-ranking.’

As long as you are a rarity-level thief, there will be a thorny road with no flowers in your life. Maybe you have to live while stealing, and even if you can enter the labyrinth, you might be able to effectively use your skills and attacks against the monsters. All of the thief’s skills were designed to be suitable for humans rather than monsters.

‘If only I could get a position like that of an Artemis Guild’s lowest employee.’

That much was enough for Heo Cheol-hun to overflow. Heo Cheol-hoon quickly realized that he had an opportunity and bowed his head to Yoo Hee-yeon.

“Of course I know about Yoo Hee-yeon. May I ask why you came to see me? Do you have anything to ask of me?”

“Huh…but you don’t seem completely ignorant, do you? Well, it’s natural. If I didn’t have something to ask you to do, there certainly wouldn’t be anything to find, right?”

“…”

Yoo Hee-yeon’s way of speaking seemed to look down on her opponent. She has already clearly defined her relationship with the other person, expressing it as ‘something to do’ rather than a request. Heo Cheol-hun also knew about that fact. But, of course, I couldn’t point it out.

Yoo Hee-yeon spoke with a spirited expression.

“I will hand you an artifact. Please carry this with you in this representative selection match.”

-Sueug

What Yu Hee-yeon handed over was an artifact with a shining red jewel.

“what is this?”

When Heo Cheol-hoon asked a question, Yoo Hee-yeon answered naturally.

“I asked the high-ranking mage for a specially made artifact. Although the power is slightly reduced, you can bring it into the virtual stage.”

“I understand that external artifacts cannot be brought into the virtual stage…”

“Oh, I’ve already taken action, so don’t mind that. Just take that artifact and go, do exactly what I say. Hyunseung Lee. Stop him from winning this tryout.”

“yes? Then shouldn’t I give you an attack artifact?”

“under?”

Yoo Hee-yeon looked down at Heo Chul-hun and said.

“For a rogue like you, what do you think would be different if you had an offensive artifact? At least he’s quick on his feet, so you’re asking him to find Lee Hyun-seung’s location. Observe his progress from a distance, and talk about anything suspicious or weak. If you get caught on the way, use this artifact to hold on, deliver the most disadvantageous information to people, and then drop out.”

A parrot that conveys information. With that kind of feeling, Yoo Hee-yeon thought of Heo Cheol-hun. The shield is a safety device to prevent being unable to speak and being retired if your true identity is discovered.

“…What if I refuse?”

In an instant, my pride was hurt. He knew very well that rarity-level bandits were not good. It is also true that I wanted to seize the opportunity through Yoo Hee-yeon. However, being treated as a bastard who asks for information was servile and grievous. So, for a moment, I seriously thought about rejecting it.

Yoo Hee-yeon glared at Heo Chul-hoon and said.

“under? refuse? You don’t think you can do that, do you? Your parent’s guild is subcontracted by our Artemis guild, so you don’t know what will happen if you end up like that, right?”

– Kwu-wook…

Heo Chul-hun thought while clenching his fists.

‘Anyway, that’s what you have to do. can’t refuse And, if things go well, you can make a big difference.’

Heo Cheol-hoon, who decided to work with such thoughts, spoke.

“The reward is… what is the reward? What will you pay me if I do it successfully?”

“I will give you money. enough to overflow. Of course, if you succeed.”

Even a low-level guild employee wanted it, but if it was enough money, as Yu Hee-yeon described it as ‘overfilling it’, the money wasn’t bad either. So he lowered his head and replied.

“All right. I will definitely carry out my mission.”

***

Inside the virtual stage.

-Kwajijik-!

Heo Chul-hoon’s artifact created a protective shield that was cracking.

“B… there’s no f*cking way to do this?”

It is an artifact given by Yoo Hee-yeon. Obviously, she said that she would be able to block most magic and bullets casually. That’s why it was deliberately provoking the opponent.

-f*ck Rome! You’re not going to break it with that gun?

I didn’t have to provoke, and I was able to stay still. However, I decided that if I used up all of Lee Hyun-seung’s magazines, it would create a very unfavorable situation for him. That’s why it was true that there was a hidden intention to deliberately exhaust the magazine.

-Kwajijijik-!

However, I hadn’t thought of it that far. Heo Cheol-hun thought that Lee Hyeon-seung would run away because he had used up about half of the magazine and the shield was so strong.

Then, until the magazine is exhausted and the information is delivered. In other words, he could kill two birds with one stone. However, the situation unfolding in front of my eyes was completely unbelievable.

-Kwajijijijik-!

It was because the Epic Artifact’s protective shield was cracking due to the bullets emitted by the basic pistol.

“f*ck-! stop-! Stop-!”

Lee Hyeon-seung is banging his gun like crazy. Right now, the shield was in place, but when the shield was broken, the gun was aimed at a position that would penetrate Heo Cheol-hoon’s head.

“Mmm… you crazy bastard-! If this is broken, my head will be pierced as well!”

No matter how much it is inside the virtual stage, even if you don’t actually die, it doesn’t mean you can’t feel the pain. So it was only natural that he be so frightened.

Heo Cheol-hoon turned his head around, but it was difficult to expect a proper evasion due to the too narrow space.

-Kwajijijik-!

Before long, the barrier began to crack more.

-Taaang-!

-Kwachang-!

The shield was broken.

-Jerbuck

-Jerbuck

Lee Hyeon-seung walked towards Heo Chul-hoon.

-Cheei Iik

Heo Chul-hun didn’t even know that his pants were scratching the ground, and he moved his body in a sitting position and stepped back.

“Ha…don’t…ha…surrender I’ll surrender. I… I couldn’t help it either.”

Hyunseung Lee looked down at him and talked.

“f*ck you.”

-Taang-!

“Quaaah”

-Bang-bang-bang-!

-dump

Dozens of gunshots targeting already fallen opponents. Eventually, Heo Cheol-hun’s body collapsed and disappeared like ashes.

After a while, the caster who was relaying the F-class representative selection match shouted.

“everyone-! Just now, in the F-Class representative selection, the first dropout occurred!”

***

Representative selection exhibition viewing room.

Yoo Hee-yeon, who was watching the F-class representative selection with virtual glasses, couldn’t help but be astonished.

“No… nonsense…”

She stared blankly at the screen, unable to keep her mouth shut at Lee Hyun-seung’s powerlessness.

“Oh… it’s okay. There are still a few guys I’ve recruited… If they’re them… I’m sure you’ll be able to destroy that ignorant bastard Lee Hyeon-seung.”

– Kadeudeuk

She continued to observe the situation through her virtual glasses, biting her nails.
