Chapter 49 Endurance Test (3)
It was time for the AR-battle system test to evaluate the cadets evasion skills.
All the cadets, without a care for their department, followed after Instructor Kim Seok-Gi.
And finally, an overwhelming sight spread out before them.
Its been a while since Ive been here.
JaeHyun mumbled as he took in the sight of the open space before his eyes.
Equipped with dozens of state of the art cameras everywhere, this was the AR-battle system test field that Millaes Academy was proud of.
There are several varied facilities and programs prepared to test the combat abilities of cadets in Millaes Academy. The most famous among them is this AR equipment.
JaeHyun gulped and looked around the room prepared in front of him.
You could expect no less from Millaes Academy. Even if its not your first time seeing it, its still overwhelming.
JaeHyun clicked his tongue.
Goddamn. This is insane.
A voice suddenly rang out from beside him. JaeHyun sighed.
Kim YooJung. Watch your mouth. You surprised me.
Oh, sorry. Hey. How do you expect me not to be surprised after seeing that?
Shes right. Its hard to hold back your awe when you see something of that size.
As expected, Ina took her side. The two girls whod suddenly appeared beside him looked at the cameras floating in mid-air and the equipment arranged on the floor. Then, they turned back toward JaeHyun.
AR evasion test I wonder how it will go?.
As if Instructor Kim Seok-Gi had heard the two, he promptly started to explain.
This AR combat measurement system in front of you will help test your ability through virtual battles with opponents created within augmented reality.
The instructor explained with pride, as if he was the one whod invented the system. He continued while pointing at the drones and cameras in the air.
Normally, what you would do is eliminate the monsters materialized by the drones while analyzing their pattern of attack, but since we are doing an endurance test today, we will only focus on assessing your evasion ability.
Instructor Kim did not forget to mention that they would get additional points for eliminating the monsters.
Although this was an evasion test, evading without ever attacking would only harm them as raiders.
Raiders were people who normally hunted monsters and sought equipment and elixirs. As such, evasion was used merely to prepare for an attack.
Evasion is important in offense. It can help me predict the flow of the enemys attacks or set the starting point for my own. It is especially important when up against monsters C-rank or higher.
The instructor started to pass an item to the cadets with the assistant instructors help.
Whats this thing that looks like an earphone?
YooJung tilted her head in curiosity. Ina also didnt know. Looking at their reaction, it was clear both of them knew nothing about the device.
JaeHyun spoke up with a blank expression.
Its a type of receiver. A device that analyzes and records the combat simulation.
Kim Seok-Gi raised an eyebrow when he heard JaeHyuns words.
Cadet Min JaeHyun, youre quite well-informed. Thats correct. That is a receiver used to implement augmented reality. It stimulates the brain and, using the projector, creates the realistic illusion of an actual monster."
Jaeltyun scanned the equipment Instructor Kim was pointing at, with his arms crossed.
The AR combat system re-creates lifelike monsters via drones with cameras that augment 3D images with the surroundings.
The use of such devices was conducted in safety.
Although it was said that the monsters and their patterns had been recreated as realistically as possible, they were still just illusions. Since they were not real, there was no danger of the cadets getting hurt.
Of course, only a fifth of the monsters' attack damage is transmitted through the device. But the point of this device was not to stimulate the cadets, it was to create a certain level of caution so as to increase their probability of survival in dungeons.
Euugh
Whats wrong? Do you have a cold?
YooJung asked. JaeHyun shivered at the chill that had suddenly come to him.
Before regressing, he had been beaten up numerous times by monsters under the AR combat system. Every day, he was ripped apart, crushed, and stabbed
Although there were no actual wounds, it was still quite a huge shame.
It seems like youre saying that with me in mind.
If thats how you felt, I apologize. But dont you think its also your fault for asking so abruptly?
At those words, SooHyuks face crumpled into a frown. He pushed his hair back with his left hand as he spoke.
Ha Listen carefully. I dont know what kind of tactic you used to get first place in the Freshmen Hunt, but
SooHyuk narrowed his eyes.
Itd be best if you didnt think the same trick would work twice.
Well, Ill keep that in mind.
At JaeHyuns sarcastic answer, the other team members who were standing behind them looked at them and gulped. The two whispered to each other and tried to read the air.
Why the hell are those two acting like that?
Dunno. Maybe they just dont get along
Jung SooJin and Kang Suyeon both sighed and equipped their items as they waited.
The team heard Kim Seok-Gis voice calling for them.
Team 3! Please come up on the field.
SooHyuk and JaeHyun maintained a distance of over one meter between them as they climbed up on the field. Feeling nervous even without such troubles, SooJin and Juyeon quickly had teary expressions.
It will be fine These guys
Standing on the field and in formation, Instructor Kims voice rang out clearly.
Then, we will start the test.
Whiiir!
The sound of a motor running could be heard as drones shone with a blue light. The brain wave transmitted through the transmitters in their ears stimulated their eyes and took the shape of a monster in front of their eyes.
AR Room Evasion Test Stage 1 will start in 5 seconds.
5, 4, 3, 2, 1
A Skeletal Soldier has appeared.
A brilliant light flashed. Simultaneously, dozens of skeletal soldiers appeared before them.
The two Warriors in formation shivered.
Danger!
Although they were Warriors, they were still newbies who had never hunted monsters in a dungeon.
Trembling in fear was natural and expected. Even Lee SooHyuk was gripping his staff tightly with a stiff expression. There was nothing more to say.
However, JaeHyun didnt show any sign of fear. He went past Juyeon and SooJin who were bracing themselves at the front of the team formation.
W-Wait!
JaeHyun! What are you doing?
JaeHyun didnt pay the voices from behind him any attention.
Its best if I show a bit of my ability here.
JaeHyun glanced at SooHyuk from the corner of his eyes and smiled slightly.
I hate it when idiots provoke me looking for a fight.
There was a need to show the difference in their abilities here even if it was just for their grades.
The skeletal soldiers got ready to attack JaeHyun, who had stood away from the rest of his group, and gathered mana with their swords raised.
Of course, when compared to the amount they used in dungeons, it was far less. But to the others who were experiencing it for the first time, it was obviously frightening.
That bastard What the hell is he planning to do?
It was an insane act that even SooHyuk clicked his tongue at.
What did a Magician plan to do after leaving the safety of the vanguard?
It would be great if he didnt turn into a pin cushion stabbed with swords.
However, JaeHyun merely had a smile on his face.
He gathered about half of his mana and smiled lightly.
So, shall we start?
