The first test of the Hunter Qualification Test is a point competition. The points obtained by catching monsters are ranked. Of course, the stronger the monster, the higher the points.

There is no risk of life as it is a qualification test. Candidates compete in a field in virtual reality. The pain remains the same, but the worst-case scenario, death, is avoidable.

However, the attached condition is… Students cannot harm each other.

The purpose of a hunter is to catch monsters, not to harm the same human being. The test center is a place where the Awakeners suitable for Hunters are selected. Not the Hunter suppression unit.

Therefore, killing between students in the exam hall was prohibited.

“… Now you know a little bit, right?”

“yes.”

Han Yu-jeong nodded obediently.

In case you didn’t know, I explained the rules again, but I think I heard it once and understood everything.

He was very quick-witted, so I wasn’t too worried.

If it was Lee Ji-ah, I think I would have checked it two or three more times.

How come the child is less flexible, haha.

“Uncle, but what if at the exam hall?”

Han Yoo-jeong, who had been thinking with her chin on her chin, asked carefully.

“What happens if you kill the same student?”

“… … uh.”

Han Yoo-jeong looks at me with her eyes wide open because I’m not even aware of the coolness. It is a face that does not know English.

He’s all good, but sometimes he throws cruel words out of nowhere.

“hey! Why are you asking that again? If the supervisor doesn’t tell you to do it, you shouldn’t do it.”

“yes? No, it is… .”

Han Yu-jeong swallows a horse, opens her mouth slightly, and suddenly shouts.

“It is!”

“What?”

“Because other students might attack me! It’s getting in the way of catching monsters… Could it be?”

Han Yoo-jung smiles shyly.

That’s right. The more detailed the rules, the better. He told me about the rules of the exam hall so that he would not deal with other candidates for being in the way.

“You cannot attack. It is a virtual space that is different from reality, so there are no gaps.”

Even the monsters caught are counted as points, and there is no way that the management team doesn’t know about hitting and killing people.

If you attack the same student, you will be rejected immediately. expelled from the examination room. Candidates who have been attacked get a chance to retake the exam.

It’s made to be virtually unprofitable. It means don’t be foolish and catch monsters.

“So, when you meet other examinees in the field, they just pass by like cows and chickens. They’ll never attack unless they’re crazy.”

“yes.”

Han Yoo-jung answered calmly and bit the ice cream in her mouth.

If you could explain it to this extent, you would be fine. I look at the clock, it’s time to go in. I took Han Yoo-jung to the examination room.

Trembling, walking down the hallway, Han Yoo-jung’s head trembles in the corner of her field of vision. It feels like it’s touching my shoulder, but suddenly I feel a new emotion.

Except on Sundays, have you ever walked this far? When we met occasionally in the house, we just passed by knowingly.

Recently, the sense of distance with Han Yoo-jung has decreased significantly. Obviously, it was the day we bought clothes and even ate dessert.

I scratched my head at the sudden memory that had reached that point.

Come to think of it, I couldn’t actually play the game I promised with Han Yu-jeong.

“Yoo Jeong-ah.”

“yes?”

“Are you still playing games these days? I used to do it in my living room every day.”

Han Yoo-jung nodded her head.

He seems to like the game quite a bit.

Well, it’s the most popular right now.

“okay? That’s good. Why, because of what we promised before.”

“A promise?”

“ok. I told you about the game, but I bought clothes and went to the dessert shop.

He listens with a look of anticipation as to whether Han Yoo-jung was expecting what he was saying.

“I suddenly remembered. Shall we play together after the qualification test is over?”

“when?”

“Well, whenever you have time?”

I really like it.

My footsteps are as light as a feather. I just went next to each other, but now I’m sprinting forward and walking softly.

If that’s what I’m pretending to be happy about, I probably wouldn’t trust anyone in the world.

Thinking like that, I turn the corner of the road,

“”uh?””

I met unexpected people.

It was Han Yoo-jung’s friend Lee Ji-hye and her manager.

I just stopped walking with the exam room door in between. They stare at each other in disbelief, but Lee Ji-hye approaches first with an awkward smile.

“Hello, Yoojung-ah.”

Han Yoo-jung just shook her head. Why is he suddenly like this? I whispered, poking my side with my elbow.

“If you don’t have many friends and treat you so coldly… .”

Aww, Han Yoo-jung’s eyes are getting colder. He zipped his mouth shut and stepped back.

Lee Ji-hye, who was looking at me and Han Yoo-jung, asked.

“You haven’t taken the exam yet?”

“uh.”

“Oh yeah?”

His eyes, soaked in anxiety, sway from side to side. Lee Ji-hye, who swallowed her saliva, asked.

“I wonder if you are Joe… .”

“Article 6.”

Hearing the answer, Lee Ji-hye’s face cracked open.

*

Lee Ji-hye hastily managed her expression.

How about something like Joe? no need to be scared After all, students cannot attack each other in the exam hall.

I know for sure, but my swollen cheeks keep coming back to hurt.

“That, right? It’s a coincidence. I’m also in group 6.”

Having said that, Lee Ji-hye pulled the manager’s sleeve.

“brother! Let’s go in, we’ll be late!”

“From here, only students can enter. You go in alone.”

“What?”

The manager pushed Lee Ji-hye’s back.

In the meantime, Lee Ji-hye and Han Yoo-jeong entered the examination room.

In the huge auditorium, students who had already arrived were standing next to each other.

There was an awkward silence.

Then the broadcast came out.

[The exam is going to start soon, so please go to your seat according to the instructions for those who belong to group 6]

Lee Ji-hye looked at Han Yoo-jeong’s eyes and walked. Han Yoo-jung had an expressionless face as usual.

A man who appeared to be a staff member from afar shouted.

“Students who have just arrived, please come here!”

As Lee Ji-hye and Han Yu-jeong approached, the staff handed over the list and checked the names.

“Is this Jihye Lee?”

“yes.”

“You can go to seat 66.”

Lee Ji-hye, who received the number ticket, sighed in relief and smiled.

“Yoojung, see you later. Good luck on the test.”

“Han Yu-jeong is number 67.”

“… … .”

A large number was written on the capsule with the wires attached to it.

66 and 67.

Lee Ji-hye and Han Yu-jeong stood in their seats.

The inspector standing on the podium explained the precautions for the exam with greetings.

Most of what I heard from the manager. Lee Ji-hye thought she was lucky. Because Han Yoo-jung was constantly concerned, the supervisor’s words did not enter my mind.

However, Yoo-Jeong Han suddenly reaches out her hand.

“Ahh!”

Lee Ji-hye, who had guessed it, raised her arms and closed her eyes tightly. I’ve been standing still for a while, but there’s no response.

One eye slowly opened. Han Yoo-jung, who held out her hand, had a confused face.

Jihye asked, trembling her lips.

“… what’s this?”

“candy.”

Han Yoo-jung held out her hand again.

‘Did you take any drugs?’

Lee Ji-hye, who was doubtful, swells! Han Yoo-jung hit the back of her hand. Han Yoo-jeong said as she put the candy in her pocket.

“Oh, I was a bit harsh. sorry.”

“What?”

“Pinching the ball.”

Lee Ji-hye stroked her throbbing cheeks. She asked as she crossed her arms as if it were silly.

“What are you? Why are you suddenly apologizing after you threaten to rip people’s mouths apart?”

“… … .”

It was not a story worth explaining. And, looking back, Lee Ji-hye, who cursed Kim Hyun-woo, was the first. Han Yoo-jung furrowed her eyebrows.

“You started it. So why are you cursing my manager?”

“You can make people look like this with just that… !”

Lee Ji-hye tried to question her, but stopped talking.

The supervisor on the podium was looking suspiciously.

She gulped and swallowed.

[Now let’s start the test. All you have to do is lie down on the device and wait.]

“you! Don’t talk to me now that it’s over. In the future, I will not pretend to know. Okay?”

Lee Ji-hye growled and shot. As I lay down, I saw Yoo-jeong Han, with a fat face, only fiddling with candy.

Lee Ji-hye bit her teeth. Now was the time to focus on the exam. I closed my eyes. Soon, consciousness flickered.

* * *

Han Yoo-jeong entered, and met Lee Ji-hye’s manager with a warm glance. He coughed loudly, hmm, and opened his mouth.

“That was Han Yoo-jung’s manager, wasn’t it?”

“yes.”

“I heard everything about Han Yoo-jung from Ji-hye. I’m sorry for treating you like a scam earlier. He said he would turn a young child with no blood on his head and make him a hunter, and he knows how to play a joke… .”

“yes?”

What are you talking about? Looking at me curiously, the manager reveals this and smiles.

“These days, some bastards are managers, too, and there are things like this. right?”

“… ?”

“I heard that Han Yu-jeong has been awake for less than a month, but seeing how she made her like that, I can already see the cotyledons.”

“Are you Ji-hye?”

“It must have been difficult since I just woke up. Maybe, I’m sorry… Is it the ability to strengthen the body?”

“yes.”

Hearing my answer, the manager shook his head to himself.

When we first met, their hostile gaze could not be broken, and they were even more favorable.

I asked for something.

“But, what happened to Lee Ji-hye and Yoo-jeong?”

“yes?”

“I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about.”

“ah. Did you not hear me?”

“yes.”

“Have you seen the swollen cheeks of wisdom earlier?”

“yes.”

“It happened because I was pinched by Han Yoo-jung.”

“yes?”

For a moment, I did not understand what he was saying, so I asked, frowning.

So, Yu-jeong Han made Lee Ji-hye like this? hit you?

“It’s a joke too.”

“No, I thought I was joking too, but the wisdom is obvious… … .”

The manager explains it bluntly, but I don’t really listen to it.

It was only for a moment, but in the meantime, Lee Ji-hye’s personality is strongly engraved in my mind.

You have to believe the words of someone you trust.

“Anyway, after seeing Yoo-jung Han, I knew it. Not a ghost guild. I apologize for what I did earlier.”

The manager nodded.

I don’t know what kind of change of heart it is, but it’s not a bad feeling.

It’s because the attitude that seems to be strangely ignored is still very fresh.

Even so, it wasn’t a mistake that made me laugh so much, I accepted his apology moderately and passed it on.

“Then we still have a lot of time, so shall we go and drink coffee and wait?”

I listened to Han Ye-rim to get nails pierced in my ears.

Unlike hunters, managers say that networking is everything and skills. Instead of guns and knives, the contacts in your phone are the biggest weapons.

It would be okay to drink a cup of coffee and wake up.

When he makes such a proposal, a confident smile appears on the manager’s lips.

“I buy it.”

“I’m sorry, if that’s the case, it’s really okay.”

“No, not like that.”

The manager took out the card with an imposing face and said.

“I have Beopka.”

When it comes to Beopka, the story is different.

* * *

Kee eh!

The monster roared. Saliva dripped from his sharp teeth. The monsters hiding in the grass crept out and rushed to Han Yoo-jeong.

Han Yoo-jung swung her hand.

Scratch!

The monsters shatter and fall. blood gushed out.

[score: 0 -> 272]

[1st]

A window appears on the other side of the field of vision. The score went up. Han Yoo-jeong frowned and waved her hand.

‘that’s interesting.’

Han Yu-jeong held her hand and opened it, feeling the same touch as reality. Even the smell of earth permeating the tip of his nose was vivid.

Han Yu-jeong, who was trying to enjoy a game like a game, remembered Han Ye-rim’s request.

I want you to debut with an overwhelming ability. To the extent that the new guild to be created is interested in the public. No more, no less, with a record comparable to that of Lee Ji-ah.

It was easy.

“uh… ?”

Han Yoo-jeong, who was about to move, sat down on the floor. Suddenly, my heart swelled. It was a familiar feeling. There are times when the silent murderous intention suddenly rushes in like a wave. Usually when Kim Hyun-woo is not nearby.

Why? Doesn’t peace of mind reach you here? Even so, I’ve never had a life so full of shit like this… … .

– Hey, you’re not capable of being your manager. I’m going into the exam, what’s bread and milk?

– Ask the guild to change the manager in charge. You’re in trouble, but you don’t feel good, what is bread? Do you even buy coffee?

– It’s a ghost guild, so even the manager gives you a sloppy slang. And what about you… Do you have any aid dating?

Lee Ji-hye’s words and deeds, which she ignored and insulted, flashed through her mind.

Han Yoo-jung, who had a frown, brushed her sweat-soaked hair.

Both eyes gleamed softly, with sticky flesh.

The exam has already disappeared into the background. She kicked the ground and jumped into the sky.

A vast forest looms large.

Han Yoo-jeong looked around quickly and hit the air with her leg. My body moved forward in a flash.
