Chapter 8

—After the Bravery class test.

Ha-jun was inwardly complaining, while keeping an outwardly fixed, expressionless face.

(....this is begger-like situation.)

This quest appeared as soon as I stood in front of the instructor’s table.

Originally, I did not intend on standing out to Instructor Li Han at all.

Isn’t it obvious? Because the middle is the perfect position, wherever it is, be it in the army or in the company.

If I stand out, my training will just turn into torture.

However, the system blocked my retreating path in advance.

(The game developer are for sure psychopaths)

My feelings were to break the head of the developer who created the system, but it was practically impossible.

“Now, those who have passed the test, come forward.”

At Li-Han’s words, Han Si-Young, Anna, Haruna-Ruel and Liam-Martel, including Ha-Jun, then came forward.

“Hmm...”

After looking around at the children who passed the test for a while, Li Han started to worry about something.

As Ha-Jun looked on in a daze, doubt began to appear in his eyes.

Huh? This can’t be...?

The reason he stopped the children who passed in front of him was to make them the leader of the group.

Originally, a total of four playable characters would lead the pairs for one, two, three, and four, respectively...

“This year is bit too much...”

(As I thought...)

Soon, a smile started to appear in Ha Jun’s mouth.

Ha Jun looked at the system’s panel for a while, then raised his hand proudly and opened his mouth.

“Instructor!”

“Yes, what?”

“I’m pulling myself out!”

The students looked stunned at Ha-jun’s words.

The students, including Han Si-Young, Anna, Haruna and Liam, respectively, looked at Ha-jun with questioning expressions, but he had skills that were too brazen to have embarrassing feelings.

“You’re dropping out?”

“Yes!”

“Huh...”

It was absurd, Li Han who laughed bitterly in amazement.

(He’s a quick learner, isn’t he?)

Immediately, Li Han nodded at Ha-jun’s words and told him to return to his seat with his chin, and Ha-jun returned to his seat with the fastest steps he’d taken all day.

“Right. I can’t force the people who don’t want to do it. From now on, the ones who came out before this are the leaders of Divisions 1, 2, 3 and 4.”

At these words, everyone’s eyes turned to Ha Jun, but he just smiled as if it was no big deal.

And in the midst of all this, there was a girl whose face gradually began to turn blue.

“Ugh! Instructor... I don’t want to do it either. ....”

“It is late. Haruna-Ruel.”

This was Haruna-Ruel, a child of the Rune language.

She didn’t like trouble as much as Ha-jun did.

Soon Haruna started to glare at Hajun with a frustrated expression, but Ha-jun just made a fighting pose at her.

(What can I do? It’s your destiny.)

* * *

( I don’t have any luck at all, do I?)

I could never have imagined that among its many hammers was the king’s weapon Maharaj.

The Legendary Grade Maharaj is cursed.

Of course, I don’t know the details because the Noble Phantasm event appeared briefly in the Liam-Martel storyline. But it’s a Noble Phantasm that even Liam, who is loved by that Mythical-grade Noble Phantasm, shook its head.

I thought of Liam’s words as he looked at the Maharaj when I played a game in past.

(This is — a good weapon, but — it’s got a dangerous curse on it, doesn’t it? Yeah, it still looks good, and here it is — hmm? Ah! That one’s better...)

And that was the end of Maharaj’s appearance.

It was such a small appearance that even Ha-jun had forgotten about it for a while.

“Hah— but how am I going to do this?”

Ha-Jun tapped the woman’s arm with his finger, just to be sure.

Fortunately, there was substance.

Unlike the strange black smoke appearance, the body seemed to have substance.

“Well then, for the time being —”

I don’t know how to break the curse, so why don’t I just hit him with a hammer?

* * *

(I didn’t expect the Noble Phantasm to rebel so much.)

This was another unexpected situation.

Although the phenomenon of Noble Phantasm’s repulsion was natural, it went beyond the right path.

A level like that was at least one grade above the highest level of the legendary.

The grade was higher or is Epic level.

It was a grade of treasure that should not have been here.

.

(Obviously, that Noble Phantasm’s grade was Legendary for sure, but why such a backlash.)

“Koooow!”

But there was no time to think long.

Soon, Li-Han’s new style with the dagger in both hands was rapidly accelerating, the moment he was about to reach Ha-Jun’s front. He had no choice but to slowly release the acceleration he had been putting so much effort into.

“Ho— what in the world is this—”

Li Han, whose accelerated body gradually relaxed and slowly lowered the dagger he was holding, began to look at the situation that was happening in a daze.

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

[Quahhh! How! Arghhhhhh!!!]

A large circular hole opened up all over it’s body. Arms ripped off and It began to scream in pain. The boy Ha-Jun stood in front of It, nonchalantly gripping the hammer and watching the smoked-woman crumble.

[Auahhh! Please stop!!! stop!!!]

Panpakan!!! BANG!!!

Soon a woman with holes all over It’s body began to tremble in fear as looking at Ha Jun.

However, that was the last time the woman looked at him.

The shocking conclusion that followed was that the woman’s head exploded as it was.

With the head gone as it was, the woman’s head turned into golden smoke, which began to seep into the hammer that Ha-jun was holding.

Ha-jun swung the hammer around without saying a word and immediately just nodded in satisfaction.

“Kim-Ha-jun.”

Thinking the situation was over, Li-Han approached Ha-Jun with a slightly hardened expression on his face.

He looked around for a moment, then opened his mouth as he looked at Ha-jun again.

“Is your body okay?”

“Yes, I’m fine.”

“—”

However, contrary to his words, Li Han began to look at Ha-jun with a face that had not yet lost its shock.

Ha-jun’s expression showed signs of being in a bit of difficulty, but he was surprisingly relaxed.

So much so that he embarrassed himself by trying to prioritize the evacuation of the students.

“—Yeah, that’s right. Good luck.”

Li-Han immediately nodded and began to look around the area in case of emergency, the moment everyone’s eyes focused on Ha-Jun.

Ding.!

[Emergency quest].

Rewards: 50 experience.

[Success!]

[Rewards awarded].

[Level increased!]

“Huh—”

Ha Jun only sighed tiredly.
