Wednesday.

Australia's afterstorm is almost gone.

The cadets regained their minds with two days of autonomous learning (free time).

The trainers who were called from everywhere returned to normal after all the work had been done.

“Then I will announce the first grade ranking from now on. ”

Today is the day the ranking is renewed.

Originally, it should have been announced on Thursday, shortly after returning from Australia.

Returns were postponed to all kinds of exotic events, and the afterstorms of the incident were delayed in many ways.

As the hologram rises above the table, the guards at the lower ranks check their phones.

Ranking, known as holograms, starts in 1st place. It takes a long time to get to the ranking below, so I'm checking to see if the announcement has been updated on the home page.

Of course I was just looking at the hologram.

You must have won first place on this exam. I'm sure you're at the top ranking. Why are you checking separately?

[1st Year of the Year]

[2nd place Cinzia]

First, two rankings have changed as expected.

“Cadet Shinjia was injured and failed to take the exam, earning an average score. Unfortunately, the principle is the principle. Try harder next time. ”

“Yes.”

Gia pretended to answer okay. My eyes are twitching. I can't hide the annoyance completely.

“In two months, Cadet Hasyeon was fourth to first. Congratulations."

“Thank you."

Hashiyeon smiled widely.

“Cheoljin Kim, congratulations. 9th place. ”

“Oh! Thank you! ”

Cheoljin Kim suffered a lot from me at the time of the survival test, but he survived to the end anyway.

· · · · · · Some people have saved their lives on purpose to make them suffer longer.

Anyway, until then, I think I've gotten pretty good grades. Of course you can raise your rank.

I'm nodding like that. Instructor Pidgin's gaze was on me. I felt a strange heat in my eyes.

“Let's all applaud. ”

Suddenly, I started clapping.

Peek-a-boo.

According to the instructor, the other officers started clapping.

I don't know what's going on.

“I never thought I'd be up here in two months from 498. ”

Greatness, pride.

Such emotions were engulfing in the eyes of Instructor Pidgin.

To put it in a parable, a teacher who rejoices in the growth of a disciple. That's exactly what it looks like.

“Gangseo rate. 14th place. ”

[14th Ordinance]

At that moment, elasticity erupted around me.

“Wow!"

“Crazy.”

“It's one digit ahead. ”

I looked everywhere.

Jealousy, fear, envy, respect.

I feel all sorts of emotion explosions.

· · · · · · I don't feel bad.

“Since the founding of the Academy, the first cadet to rank at this rate has been a cadet. That's rare and remarkable. ”

The chattering grew larger.

“My stamina began to climb. It was only a matter of time before the ranking went up. ”

“Technology was better than first grade in the first place. It's game over once you're in shape. ”

I shrugged my shoulders for no reason.

“Aren't you going to be elected as a member of the National Guard for summer vacation? ”

“That's affordable. Look at the rise. ”

I smiled.

Target is on the move.

* * *

That night.

I was summoned to a private training room by Instructor Pidgin.

“Greetings.”

“Welcome. ”

As I entered the private training room, I noticed Instructor Pyeonjo, who was warming up. Your brow is covered in sweat.

Did you do any afternoon exercises?

“Phew.”

After finishing the workout, Instructor Pyeonjo stole the sweat off his face with a towel and approached me.

“I think you're in good shape. ”

“Yes, that's good. ”

“Have you been warming up? ”

“Yes, I've done a light stretch. ”

Always stretch at this time. Jia performs afternoon drills with demonstrations after stretching. This is my routine.

I was summoned by Instructor Pidgin today, but I missed my afternoon training.

“What about heavenly bodies?”

“I brought it. ”

I reached out for the carrier in my hand.

He asked me to bring it separately, so I brought it like this.

I usually keep my craftsman's liver in the forge, but I couldn't show it to him, so I put it in my carrier.

“Then we may begin immediately. ”

“Yes?”

Instructor Pidgin smiled.

“Turn off training mode. Switch to marching mode. The terrain is flat.”

[Switch to marching mode.]

I doubted my ears for a moment.

You said a duel. Now?

While embarrassed, Instructor Pidgin pulls out his sword placed next to him.

A real weapon, not a training longsword.

“It is an interim check. Bring it on.”

Instructor Pidgin grabs the sword.

At that moment, the ferocity rose.

An intangible will to defeat me even became an illusion that overwhelmed my body.

Gulp.

I swallowed a dry saliva.

Instructor Pidgin.

They are called the best instructors in the Academy.

Estimated rank is S rank.

You can rank in the top 50 in the world.

“This is exciting.”

Such a strong man is revealing his enemies to me. Exciting tremors came from all over the body.

I took out the heavenly bodies.

This was a great opportunity.

An excellent opportunity to see how much I can fight without using the Ancient Artifact.

“I'll learn a thing or two. ”

I settled down after a small baptism.

“Come. I'll defend myself. ”

“· · · · · · Aren't you overestimating? ”

“You'll see whether you're ignoring it or not. ”

“· · · · · · · Example. That's right.”

I wrapped my sword in strength.

“Here we go.”

I hit the ground at the same time.

"Boost!"

I put on my strength and swinged my sword.

Chiiiing-!

My sword flowed down the instructor's blade as it did.

It was a perfect spill.

I transformed the celestial body into a dagger. A sudden change made Instructor Pidgin's eyes sharpen.

At that moment, the path of the wind opened.

A relic of Elven assassins that predicts, knows, and shows the best of their moves.

It's a trait I like to call my own.

“· · · · · · · · What? ”

But there was no red trail in my eyes.

The path of the wind does not show the way.

The path of the wind seemed to say,

No matter what you do, you can't penetrate what's in front of you.

No matter what you do, you can't stop what's right in front of you.

This is absurd.

It was when I was so embarrassed.

“How long are you going to keep this bruised? If it were real, his head would be blown off three times. ”

“Hehe!”

I woke up to what Instructor Pidgin said.

I stabbed the dagger through the gaps.

Kang!

Instructor Pidgin unleashed his dagger.

I've changed the shape of the weapon as it is.

The shape of the sickle. If you change from this position to the shape of a curved sword, the blade will stretch and reach to the arms of the Pidgin Arc instructor.

“Hmm.”

But it didn't work.

Instructor Pidgin bowed faster than the heavenly bodies changed, as if he knew everything.

“This killed me six times. ”

My sickle didn't even touch the instructor's hair.

This time it was a whip.

He pretended to swing his sickle and changed his shape with a whip.

“Ten times. ”

It didn't work.

My whip became useless after two moves.

Next was the spear.

You use a boost on the Spiral Sphere to inflict an attack.

I would have avoided this, too.

“Gangseo. You're not the only one who can rotate the Force. ”

But my prediction was completely off the charts.

Keying -!

“· · · · · · · This? ”

Instructor Pidgin didn't dodge my spear, he got it.

My spear slammed into the sword.

Paen-!

I plummeted to the ground with a thundering noise.

My body balance was completely destroyed by that powerful explosion of power.

“Twenty times. If it were real, your head would have flown off the sky. ”

That's what instructor Pidgin looked down at me like.

“Stabbing with a whirlwind metaphor is definitely a threat. But it's only good food for someone who knows the principle. ”

“· · · · · · · What did you do? ”

Instructor Pidgin smiles and extends his sword forward.

“The strength of your spear rotated the strength of my sword in the direction and speed of its rotation. With even greater magical powers. ”

“Ahh · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Oh, I see.

That's why my spear fell to the floor.

It must have been pushed from the struggle of strength to strength and steered in the direction in which the force was exerted.

“Is this the end? ”

Instructor Pidgin asked with his face still.

“· · · · · · Not yet. ”

I gripped my teeth. I quickly retreated and turned the heavenly body into a bow.

I pulled the demonstration at the same time.

Whiiing-!

My specialty for defeating the Beast Master. They used all four characteristics, including the arrow of the wind, to cast arrows in the barrel.

Glug-ug-

Instructor Pidgin's eyes widened.

“Fire · · · · No. Is this a wind attribute?”

You've never seen me use the wind attributes before.

No wonder you're surprised.

And it's not going to be a perfect match for the first time.

But that was just my wish.

“Amazing. Was it a triple attribute? ”

“! ”

Instructor Pidgin appeared in front of me one day and swung his sword.

Kang-!

At the next moment, my bow was bent in a completely different direction.

“When you hold a bow, you hold it too strong or too weak. ”

“Ugh! ”

I put the demonstration to rest in shock.

“That's why even with these mild shocks, the trajectory is often broken. Remember that.”

I open my eyes wide, gazing at the Spiral Arrow as it flies through the air, being fired from an imperfect state.

* * *

That night.

I lay in bed thinking of a duel with Instructor Pidgin.

“· · · · · · I never thought I'd be able to use my hands or feet like this. ”

I was confident.

A stat is at least B rank, even if it is similar to a D rank superhuman. Or even A rank.

The qualities I possessed were so special, and the Celestial Hall weapon was the best weapon that allowed me to utilize 100% of my qualities.

Even if Instructor Pidgin is really strong, he could still get a valid punch.

I thought so.

“Phew · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

But it was my pride.

I was a frog in a well.

- Your skills are excellent. I have the owner of the weapon.

After the duel, I recalled what Instructor Pidgin said.

- But it's not unique. There are many superhumans with that level of skill in the world.

The owner of a weapon is exceptional. The best trait that dramatically boosts weapon skill with strong, free operation.

But that's it.

If you go above the A rank, most superhumans are somewhat free to handle their strength and their weapon skills are close to Max's.

- Of course, in daggers or bows, your skill level can be higher.

It is not only the owner of the weapon, but also the "Dagger" and "Bow" that are assisted by other species traits.

- But even if you take a step forward with technology, your body specs take 10 steps back.

Instructor Pidgin said:

- When fighting real superhumans, not soldiers or monsters. Your skill will lose its specialty.

There is a saying called "Competency Steel". Softness conquers the strong.

I've managed to endure the Beast Master's outstanding physical abilities with my skills.

Avoiding and stopping an amateur attack is not that hard.

― Hua Properties. It's a trait that stands out to destructive power. But if you don't hit it, it doesn't mean anything. The same is true of wind attributes.

― Counter-specific combat laws? It's just a thin act of combat to cover up a lack of physical ability.

Instructor Pidgin said something cheerful.

Now you must be special among the cadets, not in a professional world.

That's what he said.

- Don't get cocky. I felt it in the White Tiger incident at the airport last time. You're excited.

After agreeing to deal with the small white tiger alone, he seemed to be arrogant in the position of Instructor Fiji. No, I think you're right when you take all the preproductions off.

- But there's no need to be so gloomy. You're still young. There's enough room to be strong. If you grow up gradually, someday you'll be able to stand up to me with one hand.

Carrots and whips.

Instructor Pidgin's map was perfect.

― Constantly raising their stats, building their character skills. When you reach your limit, just use bonus points. Your only weakness, Spec minority, will disappear.

If I had a system, it would have been a perfect carrot.

But I have no skill level or bonus points.

That's why it sounded to me like this.

We're still on the fence, but over time, the other officers will gain skill and use bonus points to gain new heights. Go.

The instructor's words to me were like whips, not carrots and whips.

“· · · · · · · · I'm not wrong. ”

Of course, I have an ancient artifact.

The power to run from the other superhumans. Powerful enough to deal with casting alone, even if it is in an incomplete state.

But it's just insurance.

There is no guarantee that the ancient artifacts will always be underwater, and the duration of one minute is too short.

“Phew.”

In the end, the only answer is getting stronger.

But that doesn't change our behavior.

Increases physical ability, collects ancient artifacts, and fully materializes remaining race traits while continuing training.

It's the only thing I can do.

“No.”

I lay in bed, focusing my magic on the palm of my hand.

Ching-

An intermediate form of barrier was created that did not advance at all.

“Also find a way to use · · · · · · · magic. ”

An ancient magical system not based on a system.

We need to find it fast.

* * *

After the Kang Seo rate left, Pi Jinho remained alone in the training room.

“· · · · · · · Haha. ”

Sitting in a chair, smiling softly.

“I am the man. I am the man. ”

A little while ago, I thought of the battle against Gangseo, and I smiled without knowing it.

I was going to kill the arrogance of the Book of Power a little bit. I was surprised that I fought so well out of my mind.

It was more than I imagined.

The use of the heavenly bodies was quite adept, and the movements themselves were not a pile.

‘I didn't know you had a triple attribute. ’

The last arrow was the point of the flamethrower.

‘Anger, intangible arrow using synergy of wind attributes. ’

Even though it appears to be an incomplete skill, its power still surpasses the imagination.

If the arrow had been struck properly, it would not have been safe even if it had been the Pigeon Lake.

Everyone will be shocked when they find out that a first-grader has mastered such a monstrous technique.

“· · · · · · That much is worth bragging about. ”

Nevertheless, the Book of Revelation was not arrogant.

No, maybe he was arrogant, or maybe he just snapped out of it.

I was impressed with my head bent as if I were reflecting deeply.

‘Effort genius who constantly reflects and goes on. ’

A near-destructive genius.

In the heart of Lake Pidgin, there was such a thing as the Book of Revelation.

He got up from his seat with a small smile.

‘What should I do about this, by the way? ’

He turns around and looks at one wall.

An incomplete arrow in the Book of Revelation flew up against the wall.

“I can't believe you broke this. ”

The strong walls of the training room were shattered by high strength magical metals.

It will cost a lot of money to fix this.

And the instructor's salary is quite steep.

“I can't help it. ”

Pidgin took out his phone, took a picture of the scene, and sent a tap to Maiden.

[Attach photo]

[Fix this. Please.]

The reply came right away.

[Did you get shot in the head? I don't give orders.]

“Hmm.”

This level of rebellion has already been anticipated.

[Attach Video]

[Please.]

“Maybe this is it. ”

Fifteen years ago, Madden sent a black history attachment, and the Fiji turned the phone into a silent smile with a satisfactory smile.

You little twelve. Square-Rragosamignon!]

From the silent phone, a constant flurry of curses and profanity spills out.
