I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

7 – Test 1

What I saw after passing through the gate was an endless plain.

Wheek-!

It was the sight of a green-skinned monster, presumably a goblin, swinging a club at its head.

“Huh!”

Kwajik!

Immediately after recognizing it, follow your senses and backstep to increase the distance.

I jumped forward again and put a kick into the goblin’s head.

The goblin was hit in the head with a kick many times more powerful than a modern athlete, and his head was crushed.

Soon, he disappeared like a mirage.

The feeling of killing a creature for the first time and the feeling of being embarrassed for a while, soon returned to a calm mind.

I knew it was an ambush, but it’s not a good feeling to experience it first hand.

“This is…”

When I opened my observation eye and looked around, I could feel a certain flow of magic power throughout the plain.

The effect is fantasy magic.

I don’t have enough basic knowledge of magic, so I can only vaguely feel the effect.

Perhaps, even if you experience death in this space.

I knew there would be nothing wrong with my body.

Should I say virtual reality that is realistic enough to be indistinguishable from reality?

At that time, a voice was heard from above.

“Surprise countermeasure confirmed. Plus 5 points. Human.”

“……It was a surprise attack from the beginning. One test is nasty.”

He raised his head while answering the voice that came from above his head.

A smooth black sphere about 30 cm in diameter.

The surface was painted with a picture that looked like an emoticon.

Diring!

[Successfully observed ‘Dark Magic: Dark Spirit’ at a very high level!]

[Learn ”!]

[Attribute: Due to , The Proficiency starts at LV4!]

I fixed my eyes on the spirit in front of me without looking at the floating system window.

“I am ‘Deuce’, the dark spirit in charge of the first test. If you fail the test, you will not have to see it again, so memorize it only if you are confident. Human.”

“This is Lee Seon-woo. Please take good care of me in the future. ‘Deuce’.”

“Hmm, you seem to have guts. Human.”

Deuce’s voice seemed to be somewhat satisfied.

“The first test is monster hunting. This test is made up of rounds, and the higher the level, the higher the test score, so try your best. However, be careful as you will be immediately eliminated from the test if you lose. Do you have this? Human.”

“Then how many final rounds?”

“It’s a secret. Human. Also, it’s a secret what monsters appear in each round.”

“…Do you know your limits and find out if you have the ability to stop in time? And if you challenge yourself beyond your limit, you will be eliminated immediately.”

“I like being confident, but I hate being conceited. Human…And there are other ways to pass the test other than passing the round…”

“…It must be a secret, right?”

“I don’t hate quick-witted humans.”

Deuce’s face turned into a smiley emoticon as he said that.

Still, it doesn’t matter because I have a way to know it.

Beep!

…… Okay. This is the marking seen after passing through the gate.

As I looked at the markings and thought I wanted to see them, the contents of the first test came to my mind.

『The first test consists of a total of 10 rounds. The first round is a single goblin and ambushed immediately upon entering the gate.

You can receive -5 ~ +5 points depending on the surprise response. The second round is 10 goblins………… The 8th round is an ogre.

The ninth round is one ogre and two trolls.

From noble mtl dot com

10 Rounds with 3 ogres and 5 trolls. In fact, even if you beat only 8 rounds, you get a perfect score in the 1st test, so going beyond that is obviously a trap.

Another way to pass is to destroy the monster summoning orb, but the location is moved to a different location each time.

The size of a marble is about the size of a finger, and it is very vulnerable to physical force, but its magic resistance is ridiculous, so it is impossible to break it with wide-range magic.

However, there is a possibility that you must have an A-level or higher search-related ability, so it is better to do your best to break the round. 』

Another way to pass is the destruction of the summoning orb, and in fact I already noticed where it is.

‘…… Is it over there?”

A glance-

About 50 meters away, and about 70 cm below ground level.

Golden smoke was leaking from there.

But the question is, how can this be destroyed without being suspected…… ‘All.

Can’t we just destroy it? There may be an opinion, but in fact, it is absolutely not.

‘… The entrance exam, which can be called a tutorial, is full of traps…….’

…… Yes. There is a catch in this entrance exam.

If it is known that you have a special gift or ability in the entrance exam.

The trap of being kidnapped and brainwashed by the Demonic Church and the game over…….

To be precise, it was an executive of the Demonic Church who had infiltrated Valhalla Academy as a person.

No matter how strong I was at the beginning of the character I could create.

The opponent is an executive-level person of the Demon Church, who is called the “Enemy of the world.”

The difference is so great that it is still difficult to escape.

‘…… What should I do with this?’

If you casually run to it and destroy it, its abilities may leak out.

I don’t intend to hide it forever, but I want to avoid leaking at least until I can extract the demon cult’s cadre hiding in the academy.

That said, to pass through normally while hiding moderately.

The Given to the top 30 people in terms of grades is unreasonable.

Thinking of the future, I can’t give up the protection that can be said to be essential.

‘…… Hmm…. Oh?’

Looking closely at the strategy guide, I came up with a method worth trying.

If you’re lucky, you might pass right through in the third round.

Where should I try it?

“Deuce, please resume the test.”

“Okay. Human. Start of the second round exam.”

Sleep-

As soon as Deuce’s words fell, 10 goblins appeared from the air.

Two goblins with barrels in their hands, two with hand axes made of stone, and six goblins with clubs.

Without losing sight of the goblins, he pulled out the sword at his waist.

Kwaak-

Is it because of the talent of swordsmanship that reaches S rank?

As the old iron sword felt as if it were taking root in his grasp.

I felt comfortable with the sword, just like my body.

“””Keee!”””

The goblins screamed and attacked in groups.

I also jumped out of my seat and ran towards the goblins.

As I entered the battle, my pounding heart became calm and my head became cold.

First of all, you have to cut the first three animals. Follow your instincts and senses and cut them together like flowing water.

Sureuk-

Despite being an old iron sword, it cuts off the heads of goblins without getting caught anywhere.

It feels like cutting through the air.

The heads that disappeared from the shoulders of the goblins tell me that I cut them properly.

Chrill!

At that time. There is a tingling sensation, and a red line is visible towards the left arm and heart.

If you look at the end of that red line, you can see two goblins biting into the end of the tube and two goblins trying to throw an ax with strength on their shoulders.

“Huh!”

Poof!

Twist the left half of the body straight away to avoid the stinger.

Knock!

After taking a stone ax that flew a little slower than a poison dart, he stretched out his sword and walked lightly.

“Ha!”

Whirlirik!

Squeak!

Without killing the rotational force, he rotated his body, slashing the approaching goblins and firing an ax at the same time.

Kwajik!

At the same time, the heads of the approaching goblins were separated.

The heads of the two goblins that bit the barrel were crushed by the flying axe.

The only thing left is two goblins who lost their weapons.

“”Kieek-!””

The two remaining goblins did not lose their fighting spirit and immediately charged at me.

Pu-wook-

I thrust my sword into the heart of the goblin that approached first. He kicked the handle and skewered the goblin behind it.

It only takes 10 seconds for life over ten to disappear. That was it.

Diring!

[The mastery of Increases!]

[Acquire !]

[Due to the talent , The mastery of swordsmanship starts at LV4!]

[Learn !]

[Learn !]

As I was glancing at the message the system had displayed, Deuce spoke up.

“Excellent workmanship, it was a no-waste move. Human. You must have had a lot of monster hunting experience before coming to the academy, right?”

“…Well, what about it?”

“Well, it doesn’t matter if you don’t tell me. What would you like to do? Do you want to start the next round right away?”

“Ah. Please.”

Sleep-

As soon as he finished speaking, more than 20 figures appeared on the plain.

What appeared was a group of goblins, 10 of which were the same as before.

The newly appeared goblins were a mixture of several types.

3 Goblin archers, 4 spearmen. And two shield soldiers holding shields….

‘… Bingo! The goblin shaman was caught.’

The goblin shaman and the goblin warrior, the probability of a shaman appearing between the two is less than 10%, according to the guidebook.

I picked the winner brilliantly.

The difficulty seems to be more difficult than when Warrior came out, but I don’t think it matters much.

…… If it goes as expected, it looks like it could end sooner than the second round.
