Chapter 38 Freshmen Hunt (8)
Before the morning of the third day, JaeHyun, Kim YooJung, and Seo Ina had managed to get a million points.
The time it took being 35 hours and 17 minutes, they had made a new record for reaching the score of 1 million.
With this, weve earned 1.1 million points.
Kim YooJung spoke as she showed the name tag she had just stolen from a senior and smiled.
It somehow seemed savage in a way, but one thing JaeHyun was absolutely sure of was that everything was going in the right direction. With just the combo of the three and the Paralyzing Spore Mushroom, they were able to get around a million points in the forest.
We made it this far. With this, its certain that were in first place.
JaeHyun took a deep breath as he relaxed his body and then clenched his fist.
If it was him in the past, this would have been an unimaginable achievementgetting first place at an event hosted at Millaes.
Back then, it would have been easier to find JaeHyuns rank by counting from the bottom.
However, he was now showing such results as if it was just a matter of course.
It feels pretty weird. It also looks like Seo Ina is slowly trusting me more as well.
JaeHyun briefly glanced behind at Ina.
He made eye contact with her for a moment, but she didnt look away like she did at the beginning.
As expected, the root of trust for raiders was ability.
For the past two days, JaeHyun had shown YooJung and Ina how skilled he was.
Not just with his ability to fight in the frontlines but also his ability to strategize and instruct them efficiently.
As a result, the two seemed to have put a lot of trust in him.
But Min JaeHyun, do we really have to leave this place?
YooJung asked with an expression of regret.
The three were currently planning on leaving the Nightmare Forest.
Kim YooJung didnt seem to want to leave the forest since they had already caught a lot of seniors and gained a lot of points there.
However, they couldnt stay in this area any longer.
A senior who escaped before had spread rumors that there were dangerous freshmen in the forest.
As a result, the number of customers(?) who came to the Nightmare Forest had reduced quite a lot.
It cant be helped. The seniors are too afraid to come here anymore.
I agree with JaeHyun on this. If we want to gain more points
Either way, there would be no further need to use the shelter since it was the last day. The cooperation amongst the three was also quite effective, so they could deal with most situations without a problem.
By the way, Seo Ina is pretty competitive, huh?
JaeHyun simply admired her.
It was the morning of the third day,
and they were looking for a new opponent even though theyd quickly gained more than a million points.
JaeHyun had planned to set a record from the very beginning, but he didnt expect Seo Ina to be that fired up as well. Although YooJung seemed annoyed by it, when it was time to fight, she still did quite well.
If we continue like this, we wont meet any dilemmas, but we should still stay on guard.
It was what he had regretted bitterly in his previous life. Carelessness was ones worst enemy.
In the past, he had almost died in a dungeon that he thought would be easy to clear.
If it werent for regressing with the Nornir System, he would have surely died.
Hey. Whats the record for the highest points obtained in a Freshmen Hunt?
1.14 million points.
Unexpectedly, Seo Ina had swiftly answered the question.
YooJung let out a big sigh.
So we need five or six more. So annoying.
If its annoying, dont do it. Besides, the points earned here will be vital in the future.
At those words, Seo Ina asked while tilting her head.
JaeHyun, you seem to know a lot about this and that.
Yeah. I heard a lot of things.
He tried to sound as innocent as possible. It wasnt like he could be honest about how he had experienced everything before.
As he was thinking so, he felt strange mana coming from behind.
The source of the enormous mana was approaching the group.
JaeHyun took up a battle stance as he instructed in a low voice.
Get ready.
Its coming!
A sword attack glowing with a blue light headed straight for JaeHyun.
The sword that flew in an arc towards them was at a level above what they had gone up against until now.
You have to be careful. That guy doesnt seem to be in his right mind. As if he is being controlled by something
Dont worry. If things are like this, its more advantageous for me.
Huh? What the hell is that supposed to mean
YooJung couldnt continue her sentence. She saw JaeHyuns resolute eyes.
It was strange. The opponent in front of them was Ahn HoYeon, the genius that every freshman in Millaes knew about. He was stronger than most seniors.
So why was JaeHyun smiling?
If its like this, things are different. I think this might work.
JaeHyun had a smile on his face.
If he could use skills above B-rank, that meant that the situation was in his favor.
Although Ahn HoYeon was a genius, he wouldnt have a lot of skills that were B-rank or A-rank.
This was a fight JaeHyun could win.
Defeating an enemy without taking their life was something he could easily do. A binding skill like Lightning Chain would make it possible without much difficulty.
Haa Haaa
Watching Ahn HoYeon quickly fixing his grip on his sword, JaeHyun was prickled with goosebumps.
His recovery speed is insane. Though, this much should be expected of the top Warrior.
The sword of the most talented person who he envied flew toward him.
JaeHyun exhaled and observed his opponents movements.
He had a perfect stance with no visible flaws.
From the start, he was almost fully trained. His weak mentality, which was his only weakness, is also missing right now due to the mind control. But I have no plans to go easy on him for it.
With a calm expression, he started to gather his mana.
Bzzzzz
A torrent of mana flowed into JaeHyun, shocking Kim YooJung and Seo Ina who were standing behind him into subconsciously taking a few steps back.
What is this mana?!
Seo Inas pupils dilated and her face was filled with astonishment at the sight of the blue effect and lightning attack that wrapped around JaeHyun.
What the hell was happening right now?
Did this mean that he had not shown all his skills thus far?
As expected, he was still hiding something
At that moment, JaeHyun calmly instructed them.
You guys, quickly leave. Get as far away as possible. If you can, earn some points too while youre at it.
Kim YooJung instantly shouted back.
What? What the hell does that mean?! Dont you know who that is? Its Ahn HoYeon, the No. 1 in the Warrior rankings. How do you plan on defeating him by yourself?!
You dont think I can?
YooJungs expression stiffened for a moment.
JaeHyun looked more serious than ever.
Seo Ina thought for a moment, then nodded first before she spoke.
Okay. Well go.
What?! Ina, what do you!
Kim YooJung stared at Seo Ina with bewildered eyes. However, Seo Ina simply looked back at her with a placid expression.
In the end, YooJung quickly turned away.
O-Okay! Ill go. Well earn some points however we can. Beat him up or steal his nametag Win somehow, and come find us.
Yeah. It won't take too long.
At YooJungs words, Ina nodded along. The two darted away from the field Ahn HoYeon and JaeHyun were fighting in. Fortunately, Ahn HoYeons target seemed to be only JaeHyun, so he didnt chase after them.
Clench your teeth. Youll get hurt otherwise.
As if answering JaeHyun's thoughts, a translucent quest window appeared in front of his eyes.
