Chapter 82
Of the eight heat hells, the deepest and darkest, the eight realms of the Eight Hells.
This was a hell where sinners who committed unredeemable sins were tormented for eternity.
It was said that even the sinners of hell in the other 7 realms forgot their pain and trembled in fear at the screams heard there.
The word that came out after seeing him was ‘Abi Gyu-hwan\'.
The word abigyuhwan was a word that originated here in Mugan Hell.
-Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
-you...! you made us like this!!
- It\'s all your fault!! Aaaaaaaaagh!!
“I’m sorry, but is it the first time I see you today?”
However, Seo-joon was not affected in any other way.
< Step 4 Success! >
Seo-Jun passed the 4th step without incident.
< Ah no, how the hell...? >
When the situation reached this point, the mentor had no idea how to handle it.
However, apart from the mentality of such a mentor, the 5th stage mental test began.
< Time limit: 1 hour. >
- Pleasure that even Faust could not endure. The 7 sins are the kingdom of heaven where the 7 desires are reflected.
Along with the sticky voice, Seo-jun\'s spirit stirred all kinds of emotions.
Seven Deadly Sins.
The hell of ‘lust, greed, gluttony, indolence, anger, jealousy, and conceit\' unfolded in front of Seo-jun\'s eyes.
Lust.
Numerous men and women were entangled on the endless sandy beach.
This hell of lust, where sex erupted everywhere, was a paradise where no desire was denied.
greed.
The glittering gold piled up like a mountain. A world where everything you want is there and you can have it all.
This hell of greed where you can have everything was a paradise where lack does not exist.
gluttony.
A procession of tables filled with only the best of the best food unfolded in front of Seo-jun\'s eyes.
Beautifully grilled meats and buttered lobster.
This hell of gluttony, where food never diminished no matter how much one ate, was a paradise full of only abundance.
And the hell of indolence, where even angels smile the happiest.
Parents who were abusive to annoying bosses at work.
A hell of anger where you can torture those who have tormented you to your heart\'s content and express your terrible anger.
A hell of jealousy that satisfies envy for things you couldn\'t get yourself.
And the final hell of conceit.
That world...
“Uh... This is a bit dangerous...?”
< Step 5 failed. >
< Remaining time: 22 minutes. >
In the end, Seo-joon collapsed, unable to endure the pleasure of the last hell of conceit.
< Are you going to try again? >
< The remaining chances - 10 episodes. >
Seo-joon made up his mind and tried again one after another.
However, in the end, he could not endure the pleasure of the hell of pride.
< The fifth subject (mental) test has all been completed. >
< The test for the next subject will be conducted in 3 days. >
< Score is being measured... >
.
.
That\'s how the fifth subject mental test ended.
< What what?! How can I get to level 5 ? The look on the mentor\'s face was as if he had seen an unbelievable sight. Seo-joon replied with a laugh that leaked out for no reason. “Are you just going to endure it? I think it is because I have a lot of immobility.” < How much did you upload in that short amount of time... What is the progress of the floating mind lecture? >
Seo-joon checked his smartphone and replied.
“Now… 31.7%.”
< ...... Yes? What? >
“31.7%.”
The mentor paused as if he was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he opened his eyes wide and shouted.
< 3 3 31.7%??!? >
“Yes.”
As Seo-jun nodded calmly, the mentor shouted again as if to stop lying.
< Don\'t believe me!! Wasn\'t it 15.5% the last time I saw it? You raised 16.2% in that short amount of time ? And at that time, the progress rate of Shakyamuni\'s lecture was 15.5% instead of 17.5%. < Oh, look! >
Then, the mentor almost took out Seo-joon\'s smartphone.
Then, after tapping here and there on the screen a few times, the progress of Seo-jun\'s lecture came to mind.
< Sakyamuni Lecture Progress 31.7% >
< Merlin Lecture Progress 61.9% > < Jang Sam - Bong Lecture Progress 24.9% >
< Hercules Lecture Progress 53.7% >
It was the progress of the right lecture.
And as if there were separate management items, the lectures Seo-joon completed were also appearing on the screen.
Mentor confirmed the information and shouted in astonishment.
< My God...! How can this be? oh no wait What is the progress rate of this Hercules instructor? >
“Oh, that was a bit lucky.”
< Are you lucky? What kind of luck is the progress of the lecture like this ?? It looked like he was looking at a monster, not a human. “Uh… that expression hurts a bit.” < That\'s because it\'s such an absurd figure! no wonder! He said he has become a completely different person from the last time! >
Seeing the mentor screaming out loud, Seo-joon shyly scratched the back of his head.
Then the mentor let out a small sigh and said.
< No, even if all other lectures are like that. Seriously, how did this lecturer of Shakyamuni do the progress of the lecture? This progress rate is difficult even for other beginners? < ...... >
Mentor made a blank expression.
In that way, for the first time, the mentor could feel the absurd feeling of ascending to heaven.
And with such a mentor\'s expression.
belt ring.
< Seojun Kim\'s mental subject score is [22.8 points (+13)] >
“Yes!!!”
Seo-joon was able to easily exceed the score he was aiming for in the mental subject.
#
After that, Seojun was able to take the remaining 2 tests without incident, and the results were as follows.
『[Combat power] - 8.8/100 (failure).
[Basic Stamina] - 5.9/100 (Failed).
[Improvise] - 4.2/100 (failure).
[Mana] - 1.6/100 (overlapping).
[Mental] - 22.8/100 (failed).
[Primary weapon utilization - Spear] - 5.8/100 (Gwarak).
[Main weapon proficiency - Spear] - 3.1/100 (Gwarak).”
< Total 52.2 points >
I was able to raise 23.2 points from the total score of the last mock test of 29 points.
And that was an increase of 80% over the target of 70%.
that means that.
It meant that you could get an 80% discount on Jecheon Daesung\'s lectures.
‘If it wasn\'t for the immobility, it would have been a real big deal...\'
Seo-joon let out a deep sigh of relief.
The score he got in the mental subject was 12 points.
If I had raised 4 points in the mental subject, it would have been 15.2 points, which was a score far below the target.
Seo-joon felt that he was really good at participating in the last raid battle.
< I can\'t believe it... I can\'t believe it... This can\'t be said... >
The mentor was muttering something while looking at Seo-jun\'s score.
To be exact, he continued to be that way, like a person who went mental after the mental course.
“Here is your mentor.”
< How can you do this... Yes yes! >
The mentor answered in surprise at Seo-Jun\'s sudden question.
The appearance was quite ridiculous, so Seo-joon asked his mentor with a laugh leaking out for no reason.
“I’m suddenly curious about that gwa-rak. How many points does it have to be to be considered a failure?”
< Ah, you can get more than 60 points. So, even if the total score exceeds the passing score, if there are any subjects with less than 60 points, you will be rejected . Seojun asked his mentor again. “Then, how many points do I need to get to pass?” < It varies from time to time, but usually... Everyone transcends at 90 points or more . < Yes. So, the combined score is more than 630 points . Seojun\'s score, which is none other than the sum of the 7 subjects. I couldn\'t even get over 90 points, let alone 630 points. “...... Eh.” Seo-jun turned off the score screen. Then, he immediately connected to the Transcendent Academy and searched for Jecheon Daesung in the list of instructors. whatever the score Finally, I was able to listen to the lecture of Jecheon Daeseong, which I had longed for. < Will you listen to the lecture of instructor Jecheon Daeseong right away? >
“Yes. I haven\'t decided what to listen to for the Mana lecture yet.”
The mentor nodded slowly as if it didn\'t matter.
Leaving behind such a mentor, Seo-joon screened his smartphone again.
『[The basics of stickmanship and spearmanship. < Ran. me. Chal > (Instructor: Jecheon Daeseong)]
[Drop the heavenly star. Cheonwol Yuseong Peak. (Instructor: Jecheon Daeseong)]]
.
.
Then, a list of Jecheon Daeseong lectures appeared on the screen.
And looking at the list, I suddenly became curious.
‘Come to think of it, how much is the Cheonwol Yuseongbong lecture?\'
Cheonwol Yuseong Peak, which none other than Seo-jun is aiming for.
As it was the last stage of the advanced lecture, it was clear that the cause and effect would run amok.
However, I suddenly thought that it would not be possible if I received an 80% discount.
‘Let\'s just check...\'
Seojun clicked on the lecture of Cheonwol Yuseongbong, not Rannachal.
however.
“Ah...”
error message popped up and the file could not be viewed.
I couldn\'t even listen to the orientation lecture, let alone check the price.
And now that I think about it, it seemed that Jecheon Daeseong said something like that in the last Rannachal orientation lecture.
“Someday, I will be able to learn the Cheonwol Yuseongbong...”
Seojun swallowed his regret and clicked on the Rannachal lecture.
Hold on.
< We are measuring your proper tuition by calculating a new causal rate... >
.
< Course fee: 5400000000 ?(-80%) >
< Are you sure you want to attend the lecture? >
< After completing the lecture, you will learn \'Jecheon Great Ceremony - Rannachal [S]\' >
27 billion won Tuition fees were reduced to 5.4 billion won with an 80% discount applied.
It was a whopping 21.6 billion causal discount.
“If it wasn’t for the causal discount, I wouldn’t have even dreamed of it.”
With trembling hands, Seo-joon pressed the course button.
And just like that, 5.4 billion evaporated with one touch.
“But where is it that it’s not 27 billion…”
Seo-joon let out a weaker sigh than usual.
And as soon as this happened, I took the first lecture.
I didn\'t have to waste time on what I was going to listen to anyway.
Hold on.
.
.
Nothing was shown on the screen that was shown along with the replay of the lecture.
To be precise, all I could see was the huge mountain in the background.
For a long time, nothing was visible on the screen.
“huh? Has the lecture stopped?”
Seo-jun confirmed the lecture by touching the screen again.
However, the lecture was playing normally.
“what?”
Just when I was about to ask my mentor, wondering if there was an error.
[Sorry sorry!!!]
A playful voice came from somewhere.
It sounded like it was shouting from afar.
I kept looking at the screen for something, and soon a dot began to appear in the far sky.
It was approaching at an incredible speed and started to grow bigger and bigger as time went on.
After a little time passed, what caught on the screen was a monkey riding on a small cloud.
The monkey was holding a huge stick, and it was not difficult for Seo-joon to know that he was Jecheon Daeseong.
It seemed that those clouds were dark.
Jecheon Daeseong So, Son Oh-gong awkwardly scratched the back of his head and continued.
[Oh sorry sorry! am i too late? Suddenly, Xuanzang called me, so I had to go there for a bit...]
[Anyway, that guy can\'t do anything by himself. Is it just that there is no cancer lump? If it wasn\'t for Shakyamuni, it would be awesome! Just...]
Then, Son Goku giggled.
[Anyway, sorry for being late! But don\'t worry, I\'ll be sure to give the lecture!]
Son Goku shouted, looking at the front of the screen again.
[In that sense! What I will teach in this lecture is the basic rannachal of stick and spearmanship.]
[Didn\'t I explain what rannachal was in the last orientation? It is said that there are three types of spears and rods. Therefore, all swordsmanship and spearmanship start from here...]
At that moment, Son Oh-gong blurted out his words.
Then, as if thinking deeply about something, he opened his mouth slowly again.
[Looking at it, it seems that there are some students who forgot.]
Cool.
Hearing Son Oh-gong\'s words like that, Seo-joon felt like his heart was being stabbed for no reason.
Like Son Goku said, it was because he couldn\'t remember the contents of the last orientation lecture.
Son Oh-gong spoke as if he were piercing Seo-jun\'s heart.
[I can\'t! Since I am late, I will show you again. So this time, open your eyes wide and take a good look!]
Then, Son Oh-gong turned around while holding the Yeoui-bong.
Then, behind me, the huge mountain that I had seen earlier was captured on the screen.
[First, Ran. It is a movement that bounces outward as an abduction.]
Son Oh-gong slowly swung the Yeouibong from the inside to the outside.
slow motion.
However, the results were not so simple.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
With a tremendous roar, the huge mountain that existed in the background exploded at once.
“Wow... This is amazing to see again.”
[The second is me. The motion of pulling the bouncing rod inside as if it were wrapped around it.]
With Son Goku\'s words, the wielder, which had been swung, returned to the inside again.
At the same time, heaven and earth turned upside down, and fragments of the scattered earth soared into the sky.
Koo Goo Goo Goo...!
The screen continued to vibrate like an earthquake.
[Finally hit. It pierces it like a single dot.]
Aaaaaaa!
Son Oh-gong\'s Yeui-bong literally shot out like a dot.
Then the landscapes raged like a storm and the screen flickered.
Not long after that, the huge mountain that existed in the background disappeared from the corrected screen.
It was as if the mountain never existed there from the beginning.
Son Oh-gong brushed his hands as if he didn\'t care.
[This is the basic lan (欄) or chal (扎) among the basics of sticks and spears. These are the basic things you need to learn to learn the Cheonwol Yuseongbong, which I will teach you later.] [
And these three things are absolutely necessary to learn not only my Cheonwol Yuseongbong, but also other spearmanship techniques.]
Then, Son Oh-gong smiled again and said.
[Anyway, this is the first lecture and it\'s difficult to do everything from scratch, so let\'s do it slowly one by one.] [
In that sense, remember what I just showed you and practice lan until the next lecture!]
.
.
belt ring.
[Daily personal assignments have arrived.]
[Causal rates are calculated and assignments suitable for the current student\'s level are given.] -Complete
Jecheon Daeseongsik Ran (欄) 1000 times. (0/1000).
[The assignment continues to change according to the progress of the lecture.]
“Tell me how to follow that…”
Seo-joon let out a sigh involuntarily.
But even for a while, Seo-jun slowly rose from his seat.
It was because, having experienced the transcendent academy, they did not give impossible tasks as assignments.
Just as I was about to complete my daily assignment, my mentor suddenly spoke to me.
< Oh true. If it is a basic lecture up to the beginner lecture, it goes into a full-fledged transcendental lecture from the intermediate lecture. There is a reason why causation is so expensive. >
“Is there anything that is different?”
< The dimension changes. >
“...?”
Seojun tilted his head involuntarily.
It was because I couldn\'t understand what the mentor meant.
< It\'s faster to feel it than to explain it. >
However, the mentor only gave a meaningful smile.
Seojun thought nothing of it and held on to Longinus\'s spear.
I didn\'t learn it, it was just a learning process, but I thought that there would be a big difference.
“Did you do this?”
Ran (欄) is an action that bounces outward as an abduction.
Seo-joon swung the spear of Longinus, recalling what he had just seen.
however.
Woo woo woo woo!
Unusual power emanated from Longinus\' spear.
And it was further amplified by adding to the naturally indwelling power of reverse divergence.
“what?”
Seo-jun could not hide his embarrassment at the sudden power.
However, the spear of Longinus was swung with great wind pressure.
Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The place where the wind pressure passed was as if a small bomb had exploded.
“......What?”
Seo-jun could not understand even though he was looking directly at the scene in front of his eyes.
Rather so.
< Did I say that the dimension is different? >
Seo-joon was able to fully understand the mentor\'s words.
#
An old-fashioned restaurant located in Seoul.
This restaurant, called Gungyeon (宮宴), was a famous restaurant not only in Seoul but also in Korea.
This was also because Gungyeon, which was operated on a strict reservation system, did not receive any guests.
As a simple example, an indicator of social success was judged by whether or not a person could make a reservation for a palace.
Now this place was a secret space separated from the other rooms even in the palace.
In this space classified as a VVIP room, two men and one woman were sitting.
They sat there without saying anything.
However, there was no word, but a heavy energy was sitting in the room.
how much time has passed like that
A man clicked his tongue and spat out words.
“Tsk. Let’s stop this pointless fight.”
Then the man sitting across from him smiled and said,
“haha. It\'s a fight. What are you saying between us? Gaon’s CEO has not changed.”
Lee Jin-seong, the representative of Gaon Academy, replied with a displeased expression.
“I see you say that nonsense. So Jin-hyun, you are still the same.”
“So why did you call us so suddenly? The representative of the Hunter Mill wouldn\'t have asked me to see you for no reason.”
The woman who had been listening to Lee Jin-seong\'s words opened her mouth.
So Jin-hyeon, the head of the Hunter Mill Academy, said with a sad expression.
“It\'s sad that even the CEO of Ale said such a thing...”
None other than Cha Hye-in, the representative of Ale Academy.
Representatives of Korea\'s three major academies, Hunter Mill Ale Gaon, were gathered here.
All S-rank hunters, in terms of skills and status, were well qualified to sit in the VVIP room of the palace.
“It’s been a while since I saw you all. How have you been?”
“There is no need for formal regards, so tell me quickly.”
At So Jin-hyeon\'s words, Lee Jin-seong said as if he was shooting at them.
So Jin-hyun smiled calmly and continued talking right away.
“It\'s not long until this year\'s Pro Hunter exam.”
“What about that…”
“Wouldn’t it be necessary to break the momentum before that?”
At So Jin-hyun\'s words, Lee Jin-seong kept his mouth shut.
It was because he understood what So Jin-hyun was saying.
Cha Hye-in didn\'t say anything as if it was the same.
So Jin-hyun looked at the two and continued talking.
“The status of our top 3 academies is beyond words. 1st 3rd. They said it’s a buzzword in the community these days.”
With those words, So Jin-hyun picked up a piece of food in front of him.
Seeing So Jin-hyeon like that, Lee Jin-seong said.
“So what are you going to do? Do you mean to trick Kim Seo-joon at least?”
“It\'s a trick. It just means to break the momentum.”
Jinsung Lee frowned and shouted.
“You are crazy. Behind him is the swordsman. Don\'t you know that if you touch it wrongly, the Hunter Mill itself can disappear, let alone your neck? I\'ll pretend I didn\'t hear it.”
Then, as if he didn\'t have to listen anymore, Lee Jin-seong tried to get up from his seat.
So Jin-hyeon said as if holding on to Lee Jin-seong.
“Please. In what era do you want to play tricks these days?”
“......then what do you want to do?”
“Like you said, let’s just break the momentum.”
“What does that mean?”
Then Cha Hye-in, who had been listening quietly, asked So Jin-hyun.
So Jin-hyun looked at Cha Hye-in and said.
“If Seojun Kim becomes a professional hunter, then it is out of our hands. So, why not break it now?”
“So how…”
“Isn’t it time to start an exchange war?”
exchange war.
That\'s Hunter Mill Gaon Ale.
It meant an informal competition held by these three academies.
“It means to invite Dream Academy to the exchange.”
“Isn’t the justification appropriate? One class dream academy that beat the three academies.”
Jinsung Lee said with a snort.
“Even if it were so. But who catches Kim Seo-joon? That guy is an irregular who has already surpassed the level of a student. Who the hell can catch him?”
“That\'s it, wouldn\'t it be enough to make it catchable?”
At So Jin-hyeon\'s words, Lee Jin-seong and Cha Hye-in kept their mouths shut.
Because the exchange match is an unofficial competition held by the three academies.
In other words, since it was ‘unofficial\', they could freely participate in the game method and rules.
“And why do you think there will be no one?”
At So Jin-hyeon\'s words that continued, Lee Jin-seong opened his eyes.
“No way… are you thinking of letting Lee Ha-yoon go?”
Cha Hye-in asked as if representing Lee Jin-sung\'s feelings.
So Jin-hyun said with a smile as if answering the question.
“What do you two think?”
