017. Reward Harvest

‘It’s inconvenient.’

This is a situation where we are having a private meeting in the private room of Doksa Lee.

It worked out better.

There is no need to visit Lee Doksa separately to persuade him.

‘Even so….’

It is not comfortable.

No, of course it’s uncomfortable.

‘No, why did you call me and not say anything?’

At that time, Doksa Lee closed the document he was reading and spoke with a smile.

“The reason I called Siwoo was a continuation of the test. “I hope you answer properly.”

“Okay….”

The atmosphere changes in an instant.

“Panpagia. Today’s training was not designed to subdue. “It was a test to establish students’ discipline and evaluate their response.”

Squinting his eyes and speaking sharply.

“I know. Even if it was adjusted, there is no way we would have expected students to defeat a B-class boss monster.”

“I know very well. And your class subdued that B-class boss monster.”

“Aren’t they excellent Class A students? “They say we are the generation of miracles.”

I laughed and said what was being talked about on the news.

“To be exact, you subdued it.”

“….”

This poisonous snake stares at me with a smileless face and speaks.

“Wasn’t Kim Si-woo the one who persuaded Baek A-rin to attack Panpagia by coaxing the students who were rescuing the injured, and the one who encouraged Ganghwa-yeon to use the family skill [Inferno]?”

“That’s right.”

If it weren’t for Baek Arin, it would have been blocked from the beginning….

If you value me highly, I have no reason to refuse.

I have to take it and ask.

“… “The reason that was possible was because you knew Panpagia’s weaknesses.”

What is your intention in asking me this now?

How do I know such information?

I guess that’s what’s bothering you.

“How did you know?”

This ‘National Seoul Hunter Academy’ is one of the top hunter academies across the country.

I have never been a target of pure whiteness due to strict surveillance,

This means that it is not strange when pure whiteness, which regards the existence of a hunter as a sin, targets it.

‘In other words, the fact that I, a student, knew about Panpagia’s weaknesses is itself questionable.’

My evaluation will vary depending on how I answer here and now.

“The premise is wrong. “It’s not that I knew it, it’s that I figured it out.”

At my words, the poisonous snake looked at me as if it were dumbfounded.

“Are you saying that you figured out Panpagia’s weaknesses in that short amount of time?”

“That’s right.”

“And you were convinced of the weakness you discovered and tried to appease Baek A-rin?”

Doksa Lee smiled as if he had asked something and pressed for an answer.

“I wasn’t sure.”

“What?”

“However, I was confident that if I followed Kang Hwa-yeon’s plan, I would die.”

“So you were trying to do something and got caught by accident?”

She leaned back on her sofa and crossed her legs, as if she wasn’t listening to me at all.

The appearance is 180 degrees different from the one in front of the students.

I am also a student. Is it okay for me to be treated like this?

‘It doesn’t match me physiologically…’ .’

Did she say that she instinctively feels rejected by people similar to her?

Still, she answered with a smile.

“I’m not saying I got caught doing that. “Instructor.”

“Hoo?”

A poisonous snake raising one eyebrow.

“Then, I’d like to hear how great your reasoning was in finding out the weak point.”

“That guy…. So, you can tell by looking at it that Panpagia is an armored monster. Ganghwa-yeon noticed that and approached it in a standard way.”

“How did student Kang Hwa-yeon approach this?”

This poisonous snake asks me even the smallest details, as if it were testing me.

Are you saying you won’t miss a mistake?

Or is it evaluating the student?

‘Probably both.’

Despite pressure from Doksa Lee, he calmly continued his explanation.

“… I aimed for her mouth using only magic-type attacks from a distance. “It’s a typical weakness of most armor-type monsters, so it’s standard.”

“It seems like you know me well.”

“… I just went one step further. There must be a reason why Ganghwayeon’s attack doesn’t work. So she thought, and she laid eyes on him. And I found out that Panpagia’s outer armor moves slightly depending on the type of magic.”

This poisonous snake was looking at him expressionlessly, as if telling him to continue speaking.

“I was planning on attacking that scale, but when I actually broke it, it was covered with another scale. “It was an improvisation to see that the scale-producing function was in the stomach.”

“….”

Even after my explanation is over, this Doksa silently sets the mood.

‘As expected, this explanation was not enough to persuade Lee Doksa… ?’

This poisonous snake instructor crossed his legs and rested his chin on his head, staring into my eyes.

“According to what you said, you seem to have extensive knowledge of skills and monsters, and your ability to deal with them is quite good….”

It was then.

Instructor Lee Doksa’s eyes were seen slowly turning green from below.

It is [The eyes of a viper].

‘Are you crazy!’

Did you perceive me as an enemy?

It’s strange.

Although Lee Doksa may seem a bit reckless, he is a true educator who cares about his students.

But you’re suddenly trying to attack me when I’m still in doubt?

‘Should we respond?’

If you attack her now, you will be able to escape her [Her Serpent’s Eye] Range.

Of course, it will only last for a moment and you will be attacked right after that.

I don’t want to be hostile to Doksa Lee right now.

‘If you don’t intend to attack, why are you suddenly using a skill on me?’

The words that passed through my mind at that time.

-This position is a series of tests.

A split second before her eyes turned green.

She took out a smoke bomb from her back pocket and pulled it out.

Chwiiik-

The view is obscured in an instant.

‘If everyone in sight is a target, then it’s okay if they don’t come in sight.’

The voice of the poisonous snake was heard from within the smoke screen where nothing could be seen.

“What is this all of a sudden?”

“What are you doing, instructor?”

“What are you talking about?”

From noble mtl dot com

“This is the skill you used on the students earlier. Weren’t you just about to write it? “I saw the color of the eyes change.”

“….”

After a moment of silence, she asked.

“So?”

Idoksa with a calm tone of voice.

It doesn’t seem like he’s showing any hostility towards me.

‘Are you asking me to explain?’

“The instructor’s skills may not be without limitations. Usually, there are restrictions on casting distance and the opponent.”

“So you took a gamble?”

“… No, the weakness of the instructor’s skills is clear.”

“Clear?”

Doksa Lee asked back as if asking him to say it again.

“Instructor, you were staring at the other person just now, too.”

“….”

“Showing your eyes change color is like advertising that you are using a skill. If I were you, I would have wanted to hide that weakness. Still, it doesn’t mean that you see the opponent when you use the skill…”

I swallowed my saliva.

“If you can’t see it, you can’t write it.”

I guess.

A moment of silence.

Shortly after, the wind blew and the smoke cleared.

“I’m sure what I showed you earlier was only for a moment. “It looks like you’ve thought about a lot of things in the meantime.”

At that moment, a voice came from right behind me.

When I turned her head back, she was back to the way I first saw her, standing in front of the window and smiling.

“I will admit it. “There is only one skill book, but Siwoo is a genius.”

Is this the end of this poisonous snake’s test?

“But I’m glad that I have a lot to teach you. I was well aware of the skills I showed and prepared for them, but I have to be careful. “That wasn’t everything to me, was it?”

She said that and walked up to the ledge of her window.

Without a sound, as if a snake was passing by.

‘[Soundless footsteps]….’

Her second skill.

You can literally walk without making a sound.

It’s not that I didn’t know.

But….

‘If you prepare in advance for skills you haven’t shown, you will only raise suspicion.’

No, even if you knew from the beginning, you cannot defeat this poisonous snake.

This viper approached her window and pulled back her curtains.

She then sat down on the window.

In the room of the wooden building, the atmosphere changed as the sunlight fell.

Her long black hair fluttered in the wind.

‘When a beautiful woman acts like that, the air changes.’

“When I called student Si-woo today, it was not as an instructor. It was a test to determine the disposition of student Si-woo on behalf of the entire academy staff, including the principal.”

“Yes?”

Disposal.

Such an ugly sound.

“The weakness of Panpagia discovered by student Siwoo was one of confidentiality.”

I guess so.

The information used in the hologram is provided by various clans at a great cost.

Of course, there are strict security and restrictions.

We are using it with restrictions so that it can only be used for academy education.

‘Now that the weaknesses I have solved have reached the eyes and ears of many, their value will drop.’

“Few people, including me and even professors, know this. The fact that Siwoo figured it out on his own during training was suspicious enough.”

The viper continued her words by waving her index finger.

“However, I decided to judge that Student Siwoo had the insight and judgment to see through Panpagia’s weaknesses in that short period of time. Not as an individual, but as an investigator entrusted with the decision by the principal.”

“…Thank you.”

She rested her arms on her knees and rested her chin on her chin.

Then he looked into my eyes as if he was interested.

“When I was at the academy, I was called a prodigy with three skill books. Thanks to student Kim Si-woo, a genius may emerge from a skill book.”

… It’s hard to keep up when the characters change so quickly.

I have to be careful too.

“Student Siwoo, she is not from a hunter specialized school, so she has never received any education. Did she learn from someone?”

Are you talking about the knowledge I had?

I would faint if I knew that I had memorized everything, even the setting book.

“This is the range you can understand if you study hard. “If I want to become a hunter with just one skill book, I have to fill my head.”

“hahahahaha! That’s right. “If you fall short of other students, you should try harder.”

After saying that, she approached me.

“Student Siwoo and I have a lot in common.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s not a compliment.”

I was trying to build a consensus with the past of Lee Dok-sa, who dreamed of becoming the best hunter at the academy while being ignored with three skill books….

It seemed like it had already happened that way even without my intention.

“Ah! Come to think of it, I haven’t told you the score yet.”

‘Now that I think about it, there was something like that.’

In the current atmosphere, even if I ask Doksa Lee for a letter of recommendation for Professor Kang Geom-seon, I don’t think he will refuse.

Since the original goal has been achieved, the score doesn’t really matter.

The viper picked up her document, scratched her line, and began to write something down.

“I suggest something better than 10 points.”

“Yes…?”

She was surprised when she said it was 10 points.

A score that no one received.

But what is better than that?

“A professor I know well is currently looking for students to join his lab…”

?

This is…

No, you devil.

This!! What an inhumane proposal!!

Proposal for graduate students.

If you fall for this obvious cliché, only hell awaits you.

She saw my expression and cleared her throat and said.

“Just kidding. It’s better than 10 points. 11 Points.”

“Yes?”

“11 Points. The score I give to student Siwoo. “This is the highest score in the Academy’s first test ever.”
