CH 16

Awakening Test (1)

The next day, the three headed to the Seoul Arts Center, where the Awakened Association is located.

The first thing that caught my eye was a 150-story skyscraper.

Jinhyuk raised his head.

I could see the end of the building touching the clouds.

Is this meant to be constructed with the unique ability of the architecture field?

I've heard of it, but it's really great. You finished this in a month, right?

This is the headquarters of the Awakened Society. It also hosts tests and handles all work related to the Tower of Trials.

Wow. Come to think of it, it's been three weeks already. My heart was trembling when I took the exam.

Eh, are you kidding me? You're going to beat King Kong with your bare hands, what. Why? Was the examiner scared when he saw your sister?

Oh my. That's what you said to me, Taemin-ah?

Yoo Yeon-hwa smiled brightly.

The eyes are smiling, but the corners of the mouth remain the same.

That moment.

creepy

Goosebumps appeared on Jinhyuk and Lee Taemin's skin.

This .

It's similar to the pressure I felt when I first met the minotaur.

Maybe I'm mistaken.

Perhaps.

" "

Taemin also swallowed dry saliva.

And quickly changed the subject.

Ah! That's right. If hyung gets a grade this time, why don't the three of us join the same guild?

Guild?

What guild suddenly?

'Dangun' and 'Father of Fighting' don't accept new recruits very well, but hyung or we should be able to pass it. To be honest, starting from the 15th floor, it's impossible to attack without healers, buffs, and debuffs...

Oh, did you mean that?

Well, it wasn't the only time in the past that a small number of people entered a labyrinth or ruins and annihilated them.

No matter how tall you are, the higher you go, the more you will hit the limit of numbers.

The two decided that it would be efficient to grow with strong supporters.

'Ttttttt.'

Jinhyuk clicked his tongue inwardly.

'So it's not that I failed to climb the tower.'

Experience. item. Hidden Piece.

I'm busy eating it all alone, but if I'm with my co-workers, I have to share it all, right?

It was enough for others who could use it and throw it away if they were to be together.

"I think it should be clear at this point, but I have no intention of belonging to any guild."

Being tied down is just disgusting.

Especially if the higher guilds are instructing them to do this and that.

So. Hyung, me and Yeonhwa noona, are you going as the three of us?

No, even if you do, the efficiency will drop as well.

It is not worth sharing with the three of us.

Best way... .

In principle, each of us should move separately, but let's only do it together in a certain section. The two of you must have worked together, so I won't stop that, but I'm more comfortable being alone.

yes this is the best

"Three, three are difficult, but even that goes separately?"

Hyung, isn't it too dangerous?

They both looked incredulous.

yea that's the way it is

Lee Tae-min and Yoo Yeon-hwa are the deceased who climbed the Tower of Trials to the 20th floor.

This means that a significant amount of time and effort has been invested.

So I knew better than anyone.

No matter how low-level it is, a solo is no less than an act of suicide.

But there was something that even those two didn't know.

That there is a class even among the deceased.

And .

The fact that there is a player who wanders alone in Mangem, where everyone has left, and has seen the end in the end.

Let's take the test first. We should go before there are more people.

Jinhyuk smiled and headed towards the building.

Uh...? Uh huh.

"That it should be."

Behind him, two men with sullen faces followed.

Come on, everyone who came, please take a numbered ticket and wait for your turn!

The D-09 group test is coming soon, so please go to the test center if you qualify!

Even though it was a weekday, the inside was crowded with people who came to take the test.

Indeed, it seems that the seduction possessed by T.O.P is great.

Seeing how many people have been deceived.

Please, please, get some good grades. I don't want to get to D-grade. Even E-grade, please.

"If only you can get into the top 10 guilds, your life will bloom "

I want to sign a direct contract with the Awakened Association. Isn't that good? Just wear your civil service card around your neck and be proud.

If you get a grade of F or lower, you will be deprived of even the opportunity to go to the second floor, let alone a higher-level guild.

Therefore, everyone prayed earnestly with the hope of winning the lottery.

himself.

I want myself to be different from others.

sure.

Jinhyuk's eyes looking at them were cold.

'Those guys won't survive a month even if they enter the tower.'

At best, it was obvious that he would become a loser who stayed on that floor, compromising with reality.

No, I'd rather be aware of the fraction and be quiet.

It's because it hurts even more if you grab your ankle while stepping out clumsily.

Jinhyuk turned his gaze and pulled out a numbered ticket.

[E-01 group]

'It is worthwhile to come early.'

Currently, group D is about half way through.

You'll only have to wait an hour or so.

But what day is it today? It seems like there are too many reporters than usual?

Taemin looked around and tilted his head.

At the very least, dozens of reporters were waiting for someone with their cameras.

They looked like dogs that were anxious to see their whole body pounding nervously.

Yeah. That's a bit odd.

He added a word as if he was affirming flexibility.

At the most, maybe four or five people.

Unless a promising prospect from a large guild came, there was no chance that a reporter of this size would gather.

Are there any unknown events?

the moment I thought.

Whoops!

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance.

A group of people entered the building with the sound of someone yelling.

Hana Park! It's Hana Park from the Black Crow Guild!

Park Hana.

How could you not know?

A rookie who has heated up the media and the Internet through the Hall of Fame.

Wow. Is that woman Hana Park? Did she enter the labyrinth and survive on the first day?

...I'm tired. I've been watching the View Tube in a row, I'm sure I'll see it in person today.

Next to him is Ha-jin Park. I heard that you had a deal with the Chinese side a while ago.

All facets.

Besides Park Ha-na and Park Ha-jin, there was another person who caught people's attention at once.

"Oh my gosh, there's also Kim Ki-tae from the Fathers to Fight Guild!"

chwachwachwa chow chow!

Camera flashes went off everywhere.

One of the seven largest guilds in the world and the second largest guild in Korea, Brawlavi.

And up to the ranker, the executive level there.

Don't miss a single scene!

Front shot. Take a composition with three people together!

Journalists were thrilled.

No, I couldn't help but be excited.

Because this scoop was more than enough to decorate the first page.

Whoa.

Huge size, approaching 190 cm.

Kim Ki-tae lowered his sunglasses and let out an annoyed sigh.

Why are people so busy here? Now dogs and cows are all being tested. What?

It seems that more and more people are dreaming of making a lot of money. Why, in the world these days, the number of people who believe that the tower is the only opportunity to raise their status has increased.

Park Ha-jin answered immediately.

Anyway, the insects want to suck the honey again. Don't you know that struggling for a hundred days is no use?

Well, if I had known, I wouldn't have even tried it in the first place.

Knowing the fountain, you will live crumpled.

By the way, do well today. It's all because of your brothers and sisters who came all the way here on purpose, but if you make a mistake... you know?

No, of course.

Don't worry...don't worry. I'll do well.

Ha-jin Park and Ha-na Park nodded their heads.

It is a golden copper cord that I barely caught.

somehow.

whatever number you use.

It must be successful at the box office.

And the plan had already been perfected.

I'm running out of time, so get rid of the people in line. Reporters are waiting, too, so I can't stay here for hours.

Park Ha-jin nodded towards the giants next to him.

OK.

Let's clear the road.

Hey, can't you see people passing by? Stick from side to side. Left and right!

Move quickly. Don't stumble and stumble.

The players who belonged to the Black Crow Guild broke the line.

The road split like Moses parted the Red Sea.

There was no one there to complain about.

greatness!

Where did you put the documents that you organized your personal information...

Even the Awakened Association officials turned their eyes away and looked away.

This is the reality.

The sign of the upper guild is above the law or rule.

By the way.

The steps of the giants came to a standstill.

Three people were blocking the road without getting out of the way.

To be precise, two people who dissuade and one person who holds up.

In particular, the one who was holding out was slowly sipping the ice water from the bottle of water.

What are you? Didn't you hear Vicky?

Vicky? Why me?

Jinhyuk tilted his head.

No, seriously.

I took a numbered ticket and waited for my turn, why is it called Vicky?

If you had just come, you would have been assigned to group F, right?

'Ah, maybe... .'

As if remembering something, Jinhyuk shoved the number plate into his face.

That's called the American alphabet... It starts with A, B, C, D. Then E. Then F. If you don't know, memorize it right now.

Yes, you may not know the order.

I usually learn from elementary school.

My heart swells.

'I'm sorry.'

Do you have a difficult family history?

Nu, who doesn't know that, so ask!

The giant's face turned red.

Fuck!

What is this, eye level education?

A roar of laughter rang out from the utter nonsense.

" "

Kim Ki-tae, who was watching, frowned, but did not step forward.

It's like you're trying to figure something out on your own.

at last.

Sheesh, you assholes. Get out of the way!

Park Ha-jin, who was behind him, came out.

I don't know what he's doing, but he's making a mistake now. It's not too late yet, so get out of the way.

Intimidation is once cruel.

'Is this the guy Park Hana was talking about?'

Looking at his eyes, he doesn't seem to have any hesitation in actually killing a person.

It's fun.

How could it be that siblings are not able to understand the subject so much?

It's all good, but can we talk from a distance? My eyes are burning because of the bad breath.

Jinhyuk frowned while holding his nose with his hand.

Tongue, bro?

Lee Tae-min was startled and grabbed Jin-hyuk's wrist.

Brother! Why?

What surprised me was the flexibility as well.

crazy!

Am I right? That person right now. To Park Ha-jin...

I was determined to die. Are you crazy?

Even those who were watching opened their mouths wide.

sure.

What surprised me the most was Ha-jin Park.

"What are you now?"

The blood disappeared from Park Ha-jin's face.

Is it a dumpling hanging over the neck, not the head? Just breathing seems to pollute the air, so it means to put your teeth up and down.

Jinhyuk smiled brightly and wrapped the words in a prettier way.

It's a bonus to have a ribbon attached to the poop.

You bastard. Hey. Can you handle this? If you think that you can't touch it just because you see so many eyes...

Ah, no way. What are they afraid of if they aren't the Brawler's Guild?

"It's nothing if it's not the Brawl Fathers Guild?"

Isn't that right? It's the fathers who fight well in Korea. Are you guys? And.

Jinhyuk shrugged and continued.

What's the name of a black crow? A black crow?

Nor is there a white crow.

By any chance, where is the hat?

Or maybe a poet or a literary boy?

There, such as ambivalent expressions were allowed.

Whatever it is, I can't understand the naming sense.

Hey! This worm-like bastard! He really wanted to die!

Park Ha-jin stretched out her hand with a sword as if there was nothing to see.

certainly .

Did you start first?

In an instant, the air suddenly changed.

Cold enough to give you goosebumps all over your body.
