Episode 488: Changing Incheon (1)
Where Roman Dmitry left.
It was miserable.
The Incheon government's best power, directly under the direct control, were all scattered on the floor with messed up faces.
Lee Tae-seong looked at them and couldn't hide his complicated feelings.
'… … It's like being promoted to one level within a month. Is that really possible?'
Advancement is a difficult matter.
Usually, it takes several years and barely advances one level at a time, but the higher the level, the steeper the difficulty rises.
Therefore, there were almost no grade B or higher in the province.
After doing such a difficult job, everyone wants wealth and fame in Seoul, but no one wants to live in a shabby country in the countryside.
That is to say.
Many of the members of the direct control are C-grade, which meant that they should all be promoted to B-grade, which is considered special.
It was impossible.
If that had been possible, Korea would not have been evaluated as a weak country.
Tae-Sung Lee looked at a member of the direct control.
"Chulmin-ah."
"Yes."
"You said you knew about Kang Min-ho. Please explain about it."
Park Chul-min is a C-class crew member.
Because I mentioned Kang Min-ho before, all the eyes of my colleagues were focused on him.
Park Chul-min said in a cautious voice.
"… … Actually, before I became as strong as I am now, I met Kang Min-ho by chance. As a result of that relationship, Minho Kang came to me a few months ago, and he asked me to teach him how to become strong in his life moving through the E rank. So I honestly don't quite understand. At that time, Kang Min-ho was clearly worthy of an E grade, and he would not be different if he searched through the Hunter database."
"Then what is the probability of being promoted to 2nd tier within 3 days?"
"It is impossible. I don't think he'll ever be able to reach the same level as me, who couldn't even react properly to my attacks."
It was a firm decision.
Anyone who knew Kang Min-ho, even a little, could understand how vain Roman Dmitry's remarks were.
Lee Tae-seong showed a complicated expression.
I wanted to believe in common sense.
But.
"… … Common sense has already been shattered."
I looked down at the sword.
Even though it was a B-grade sword made by a craftsman in Seoul, it was shattered in the face of Roman Dmitry.
Common sense was shattered like a sword in a miserable state.
With a series of ridiculous situations already taking place in Incheon, I couldn't be sure that Roman Dmitry's words were unconditionally impossible.
Taesung Lee raised his head and looked in the direction where Roman Dmitry had disappeared.
"For now, let's all prepare. If the impossible becomes a reality, then you will have to do something."
* * *
3 days later.
Kang Min-ho looked at the promotion jury in Seoul.
All hunters in Korea go through the promotion process here, so he headed to Seoul early in the morning.
My heart raced.
When I first heard Roman Dmitry's orders, I was very embarrassed, but as I prepared for the promotion review for three days, I found my confidence.
His skills have already been proven in the ant den.
For a typical E-class hunter, even a single soldier ant would be difficult, but he was not dealing with dozens of soldier ants at the same time.
It was different from a month ago.
He believed that Roman Dmitry's orders had good reasons.
'He taught me how to be strong for nothing. Dmitry's skill is to hope that people will learn it, even by offering gold and silver, but Roman Dmitry didn't ask for anything in return. All I can do is follow orders to the best of my ability. If you jump into the fire, you jump, and if you ask to fight for him, you fight. Blindly following is my job.'
Committed to relationships that have passed in the past.
None of them paid attention to Kang Min-ho, who possessed a humble talent.
It was the first time.
Roman Dmitry's heart was so grateful that he could not tolerate being laughed at in public.
'Unconditional promotion.'
walked inside.
There were many people at the window wishing to be promoted.
After waiting for a long time, it was Kang Min-ho's turn, and Kang Min-ho turned over the documents that recorded his performance and said,
"Class E to Class C. I want to see the second-tier promotion review."
"Two tiers?"
The staff glanced at Kang Min-ho.
The second stage is an exceptional case.
It is practically impossible because there is a big difference between each stage, and those who succeeded in some 2nd judging were often successful in the beginning.
For example, the lore or the chosen ones.
People who became stronger through Giyeon often rose from a low grade to a high grade at once.
By the way.
"Ugh."
The staff frowned.
The documents were strange.
In order to see the second stage examination, there must be sufficient grounds, but in the contents of the document, there were only E-grade tasks.
He looked at Kang Min-ho once more and reacted bluntly.
"… … Are you really going to get a C grade for this performance?"
* * *
The upgrade process is simple.
You can apply for the desired grade and prove your qualifications against the competent person corresponding to that grade.
Usually, we don't rush through the promotion review.
Since there are many cases where people are beaten up by attacking with poor skills, I only went to the promotion judge when I decided that I could really deal with someone with that level of skill.
Therefore, Myung-Jun Ki, a level C hunter, showed an absurd expression.
With a tearful yawn, he checked the documents and spoke to the examiner walking with him.
"Hey, you want me to deal with a kid like this?"
"The teller said I was just going to send it back, but he said he would take the test until he signed a memorandum saying that he could die while taking the test. That's absurd indeed. Then you might really die, but we couldn't stop paying a huge upgrade fee to take the exam."
"The world is dead. You can't beat the grade of C with your performance."
it was like
Hunter database.
Its records proved reality.
Kang Min-ho was a typical low-level hunter who performed only E-class missions, and no matter how much he looked at him, there was no reason to be wary of him.
There was only one item that stood out.
In the recent Incheon anthill incident that caused a stir in Korea, he was present with Roman Dmitry at the scene.
This was explained by the examiner.
"Actually, I remember this hunter named Kang Min-ho being judged by me a few years ago. He was seated for an E-class judging, and I still remember him for how he fought. There is no way such a person would have made a special contribution to the anthill incident. Rumor has it that Roman Dmitry may have been an S-Class, and he probably killed all the ants."
"In a nutshell, it means taking the bus."
"right."
crumpled the documents.
Thinking he didn't need to look any further, Ki Myung-jun threw the crumpled papers on the floor.
"Then, there is a need to properly punish a guy who doesn't even know the subject. There are people who think that they will get caught at least once when they go through the promotion review due to their ignorance.
"You can do that on your own."
laughed
It went well when I was bored.
As if filial to a sinner, Kang Min-ho's case will be a good example for everyone.
* * *
Kang Min-ho went on stage.
While the judges were watching, he drew his sword while looking at Ki Myung-joon, who stood up against him.
Sreung.
"This is Kang Min-ho. I wish you all the best."
"Yes."
Myung-Jun Ki shook his head.
Acts like you don't even need a full name.
Faced with each other, the examiner immediately signaled.
"start."
pod.
ride up
It was Kang Min-ho who ran first.
Kang Min-ho used the dash by operating the Sura mentality method, and Ki Myung-joon was surprised to see the distance narrowing in an instant.
It was faster than expected. Dash is just a common sub-skill, but the way it digs into space was different from what is generally known.
'Look at this.'
Drew his sword
Lightly raising mana, he slammed Kang Min-ho, who rushed to the front.
'Take it down.'
Wow!
Curly rumble.
It was a powerful blow.
He was planning to win at once, but this time too, contrary to expectations, Kang Min-ho calmly received the attack.
From then on, I started to feel strange.
The speed at which he ran fast and the ability to block his attacks casually were evidence that exceeded the level of E-class, but as Myung-Jun Ki, he could not accept the reality.
Kang Min-ho's performance.
It was miserable.
I didn't like the fact that a person with that kind of track record could surpass the C grade.
"Wait a minute."
sudden.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Kang Min-ho pushed.
He swung his sword broadly and continued to hit Kang Min-ho, blocking Kang Min-ho's counterattack lightly, and rather attacked the opponent's vital points.
Hunters belonging to the promotion test site. They were a kind of mercenary.
They stay in the auditorium for a certain period of time and get paid, but they considered the time in the examination hall to be a closed training session.
Think about it.
A place where you can fight dozens of times a day.
Myung-Jun Ki was a veteran.
Even in the same C-class, Kang Min-ho was helplessly pushed back by his skillful attack, which was one level higher than that.
pod.
arm bounced off
When he tried to cut off his chest as it is, Kang Min-ho turned his body and hurriedly got out of the seat.
'strong.'
Myung-Jun Ki.
It was definitely strong.
As he was in the position of judging the C-grade, he had the power to take down the hunters who had just surpassed the C-grade.
And although the reason is unknown, he is quite hostile to himself. Kang Min-ho looked at Ki Myung-joon, who rushed to him quickly.
It was an opponent I couldn't dare to overcome just a month ago, but now I don't feel any tension at all.
It was a relative phenomenon.
Kang Min-ho experienced Roman Dmitry and witnessed Roman Dmitry slaughtering ants.
It was a new world.
From the moment he witnessed a world he could not dare to approach, fear did not arise within the bounds of common sense.
'It's definitely strong, but it's not an impossible opponent.'
Why?
laughter came out.
this examination.
It can pass even if it lasts 3 minutes.
Although the goal is not necessarily to win, Kang Min-ho wanted to bring about a result that would satisfy Roman Dmitry.
blast furnace.
wow.
He gripped the sword strongly.
Seeing the appearance of Ki Myung-jun approaching in front of him, he began his Sura sword technique in earnest.
Wow!
Quiet rumble.
A strong shock occurred.
When Ki Myung-joon was embarrassed by the power that was stronger than expected, Kang Min-ho immediately unfolded the sword technique of Sura and pushed Ki Myung-jun.
The Sura sword technique does not end with the effect of simply enhancing the aura.
In the swordsmanship itself, there was a way to push the opponent in any situation, and that style shone in Kang Min-ho's sword.
this world.
People called Hunters hung on to their skills.
It was not the kind of power that he understood and learned by himself, but the power given by someone unknown to him as it was.
It was the same with Myung-Jun Ki. A being who uses skills like a game and shows off his strength.
For him, Kang Min-ho's swordsmanship, which accurately understands the way and drives him, could not help but be embarrassed.
one little difference.
That made a huge difference.
Ki Myung-jun's counterattack cut the skin, but Kang Min-ho pushed his opponent forward with confidence.
'Dmitry's technique taught by Roman Dmitry. It's a skill that's one level higher than what the Loreans learn. I don't know how you know those skills, but there's a big difference between knowing the principles and not knowing them.'
Kaang!
"… … ?!"
Myung-Jun Ki was pushed back.
it was a gap
It was clearly overpowered in terms of strength, but the battle between giving and receiving attacks was not determined simply by strength.
I lost my balance.
Kang Min-ho exploded his mana at Ki Myung-joon's staggering appearance.
Wow!
Curly rumble.
"Great!"
Ki Myung-joon screams.
In the shock that his whole body was torn apart, he was unable to properly stop it and fell to the floor.
tuk.
clink.
Ki Myung-jun's sword fell to the floor.
Myung-Jun Ki also couldn't get up with blood.
The results were clear.
"… … Come on, Kang Min-ho won."
astonished examiner.
This was a shocking result that went beyond common sense.
