Chapter 37 Freshmen Hunt (7)
Alright. This way, we wont have any problems going forward.
JaeHyun nodded in satisfaction. A moment ago, he had started the event with satisfactory results while carrying Seo Ina and Kim YooJung.
When I think about it again, the plan this time wasnt bad. Asking JaeSang-hyung about the ash tree sap beforehand was pivotal.
He recalled the conversation he had with Lee JaeSang a few days ago and chuckled.
A-A-A-Ash tree sap has the e-effect of removing the paralysis debuff.
I-I-Its probably quite common in the Nightmare Forest.
As a result, JaeHyun could quickly find ash trees and get some of their sap.
And he was able to use it to remove the paralysis state from Kim YooJung who had traded places with him. Then, Seo Ina could proceed to get rid of the guy hiding in ambush.
The cooperation between the three was also quite decent, but if it werent for the information Lee JaeSang had provided, there was a chance that they would have ended up in a difficult fight.
Its really nice to know an alchemist. I should keep on making good use of him.
JaeHyun smirked. And it wasnt just because of Lee JaeSang. YooJung and Ina also played active roles.
Seo Inas destructive power and Kim YooJungs knowledge of practical skills made luring the enemies easy. Everyone agreed to an equal share distribution, so there wouldnt be any problems going forward.
Two days left We have to dominate this field in the remaining time. We need to hunt down more seniors and collect more points. Even if simply to crush Gu Ja-Ins plans.
JaeHyun reaffirmed his resolve as he arrived at the appointed location in front of the shelter.
And at that moment, he could hear YooJungs clear voice.
Hey~ Min JaeHyun!
At the sound of his name being called, JaeHyun smiled and welcomed his party members. The two who had returned after the successful attack surprisingly didnt look that tired.
The two of them really are monsters.
Good job. You dont seem exhausted, either.
Well. I just used magic once after running a lot. What about you, Ina?
Yeah. Im fine, too.
The three of them all proceeded to head into the shelter.
It was currently 4 minutes past midnight. They could use the shelter freely.
The two let out a soft sigh as they followed after JaeHyun. Having been chased by and hiding from seniors the whole day, their muscles were pretty stiff.
JaeHyun expected this would happen, so he had picked ingredients good for physical recovery nearby ahead of time.
Having crushed the ingredients and placed them in his inventory, he took out the items and poured them into a bowl. Next, he made a fire and stirred the mixture when it reached the right temperature.
A moment later, the herbs had completely turned into a paste and started to give off a red glow.
What are you doing?
Seo Ina asked first with her immense curiosity.
Just in case we need it in the future. Its something to help with stamina recovery that I know how to make.
How?
I know someone whos an alchemist. Hes weird but also very skilled. I learned from him.
Of course, it took him hundreds of tries before he could finally make a single basic recovery potion, but he didnt mention that part.
At JaeHyuns words, YooJung smiled and teased him.
Hey. How can you know someone? You dont even have friends.
Unlike how you have plenty of friends aside from me?
That was a bit unfair, wasnt it?
Kim YooJung acted as if something had struck her heart.
Seo Ina covered her mouth and softly laughed.
By the way, you were pretty amazing, JaeHyun. Its like youre not even someone our age. Youre so mature, as if youve lived a decade more.
Huh? Uh
At the sudden and accurate remark, JaeHyun was flustered and unable to reply.
He didnt think someone would suddenly ask him something like that. Did Seo Ina always have such great intuition?
To think of something like that in such a situation. Plus, the ability to overwhelm a Warrior. Is he really a freshman?
Gu Ja-In lightly rested his chin on his hand.
Until now, there has not been a single Magician who ranked first in the Freshmen Hunt. All the S-rank Raiders from the academy are also all Warriors. But somethings different about that bastard.
Gu Ja-In lightly tapped the arm of his chair as he waited for Min JaeHyuns profile.
The brats profile is also completely blank I honestly dont know whats going on.
A moment ago, when the first senior was eliminated, Gu Ja-In checked Min JaeHyuns profile.
What kind of talent did he have to be able to defeat a senior in just 30 minutes?
It was hard to believe since it was a Magician who had done it. But the real problem was that Min JaeHyuns profile did not have his Magic aptitude score.
Ordinarily, there were only two reasons why a cadets profile at Millaes Academy didnt have the aptitude score written on it.
Either he paid his way into the academy, or he suddenly changed departments.
As his curiosity was reaching its peak, the new instructor who had gone to the data processing room to check the information hurriedly entered the room and said.
Chairman Gu Ja-In! Cadet Min JaeHyuns profile is here. But, uhm it doesnt seem to be an accurate file.
What do you mean? Not an accurate file?
The new instructors words were strange enough to even bewilder Gu Ja-In.
Did he mean that someone had dared to fake the information written on the application to Millaes Academy?
To begin with, the test taken in middle school was done by the government. Faking that information would be the illegal forging of official documents.
Moreover, even if he managed to enroll in the academy, it would be revealed as he competes with the other monster-like cadets, so would there really be anyone stupid enough to do something like that?
Gu Ja-In looked at the flustered instructor and asked calmly.
Calm down. What on earth do you mean? What was written on the profile?
It was 97%.
What?
Gu Ja-In narrowed his eyes. What nonsense was this instructor spouting?
Seemingly having expected his reaction, the new instructor quickly explained.
Cadet Min JaeHyun who you mentioned. His Magic aptitude test score was 97%.
9-97%?!
Shock quickly took over Gu Ja-In.
If his Magic aptitude score is 97%, that means its the highest in the world. Its understandable that someone would suspect it to be an error. Was the profile update also pushed back because of this?
Thinking so was natural. What other reason would there be for the cadet profile update to be postponed?
Gu Ja-In didnt think that it was possible for Min JaeHyun to have transferred departments.
He stood up from his seat and smiled.
Min JaeHyun The more I find out about him, the more interesting he gets.
Instructor Kim Seok-Gi trembled seeing the brutal face on Gu Ja-In.
Its been a long time since I saw the chairman make such an expression. Does that mean that cadet is that great?
It was a similar expression to the one he made when he saw the latest S-rank Raider, Kang HaSeol, four years ago.
The cadet named Min JaeHyun I want to see just how talented he is.
What? Wh-What do you mean Do you wish to do that?
Kim Seok-Gi said in a trembling voice.
There was no indecision in Gu Ja-Ins eyes. Kim Seok-Gi could only gulp as he looked at the mans face.
Because of that bastard, it seems the cadets this year will have a harder time.
Gu Ja-In planned to test Min JaeHyun a bit more.
Even if he had to interfere in the Freshmen Hunt this time for it.
