Academy Silver Gatekeeper

16 – New Talent – 2

Currently, Lee Hyeon-woo belongs to the weapon class among his abilities.

The sword in his hand right now is evidence that cannot be hidden.

Then later, through that terrible effort, he even got a martial arts class.

People call such a case ‘duel’.

dual. A very unusual case of having two or more series.

In this world, dueling is a must-have for the strong.

Lee Hyeon-woo, through ceaseless efforts, eventually reached the level of a duel.

‘Of course, that was after the damage caused by the rampant gate and the combined attack of the villains.’

As always, Lee Hyun-woo comes to realization after someone sacrifices.

That’s a natural development of the novel, but in the real world, it’s not very pleasant.

If you get it anyway, it’s better if you get it before someone dies or gets hurt.

So. From today, Hyunwoo Lee is banned from promotion to silver.

If not forever, at least it should be enough to drive me.

◎ Sub Attribute

: Gojingamrae

◎ Details

: Stacks are stacked in proportion to the number of promotion failures of the specified opponent.

After that, upon successful promotion, the specified opponent’s ability is strengthened by the stack.

Even if you read it once, you can feel it. This is, literally, a ‘fraud’ characteristic.

If you block promotion, the stack builds up, and if you are promoted later, it becomes that much stronger?

Not even anyone, only the opponent I designated?

‘thank you. I believe. The third eye!’

Hyunwoo. Please don’t misunderstand. This is all for you, this judge takes care of it.

Before entering the screening, Lee Hyeon-woo was designated as the subject of Gojingamrae’s characteristics.

◎ Gojingamrae

: The attribute is activated.

: Subject – Hyunwoo Lee

“I will go, Judge!”

As I used the characteristic, I unintentionally gave up the first attack.

Right after that, Lee Hyeon-woo’s sword strikes head-on.

I think it’s much better than the other Yangachis I judged a while ago.

A speed that I would never have been able to react to if it were me in the past.

‘not now but.’

My body felt lighter than before. and got stronger

see. What kind of moves will Lee Hyun-woo make in the future? how to respond

Shuak-!

After dodging the sword once, the distance was immediately reduced.

And Lee Hyeon-woo’s sword blocks the moment he tries to move forward.

No matter how good a swordsman is, if that ‘swing’ is blocked, he loses his power.

Being able to read the attack is as fatal as that.

“Kuk!”

The result has already been determined. Lee Hyun-woo is not promoted today.

How do you lose what’s left? What do you get and go back to?

First of all, I decided to slowly awaken Lee Hyun-woo’s talent.

It is to present the possibility of a duel to the guy who is still focusing only on the sword.

‘If the moment comes when you can’t even use the sword, what will you do? Hyunwoo?’

Continuing to focus on Lee Hyun-woo’s ‘sword’.

Let alone swinging it, I couldn’t even stand the sword properly.

It is a weakness of the weapon series. Missing a weapon reduces combat power.

As much as there are advantages to using weapons, there are penalties corresponding to them.

‘In the case of Ma Hak-jun or Kang Min-seong, they have overwhelming swordsmanship skills. Or I covered it as a duel.’

Han Ji-yoon would be like that, and Irina would be like that too.

The elders would have taken the same way of dealing with him.

And Lee Hyeon-woo also has to get a feel for the duel as soon as possible.

bang-

Finally, the sword flies from Lee Hyun-woo’s hand and lands on the floor.

Other students would have declared surrender right away.

However, Hyunwoo Lee was different. Like the main character, his tenacity was great.

“Suck!”

It seems that my body was aiming for the attack to move forward.

Lee Hyun-woo’s body blow coming in from the right side.

As expected, the future strongman, the future duel series, was sharp.

“Gagging!”

Unfortunately, my knee kick exploded into Lee Hyun-woo’s chest first.

‘The thing I just did was a bit dangerous.’

It’s a scam character with a confirmed duel system, but I think this is a bit too much.

It’s still only a bronze level, but it’s already a very sharp martial art.

This kid, I wondered if this might be going to a gym somewhere.

“Huh, huh… .”

Lee Hyun-woo, who stretched out on the floor in a large shape, exhaled a rough breath.

It was a short time, but it would consume a lot of stamina because it moved at a tremendous speed.

“I lost, I lost. Judge. It is my defeat.”

◎ Gojingamrae

: The attribute is active.

: The target’s stack increases by 1.

“You worked hard, student Hyunwoo Lee. I hope you are not too disappointed.”

yes. You shouldn’t be disappointed. I have to fail a few more promotions in the future.

Anyway, even if the promotion fails, it is not a loss to Lee Hyeon-woo because the stack is steadily piled up.

When I reach out my hand to help Lee Hyeon-woo, he smiles.

“Not at all. Rather, I just feel like I need to work harder! Next time, I will definitely promote.”

Befitting a master of effort beyond talent, he burns with enthusiasm.

Is it the main character’s buff or is it just his original personality?

Anyway, I’m glad I wasn’t disappointed or angry.

“ruler. next student. Come forward.”

“Yes! hello! I’m in 2nd grade… .”

Since then, I have been in charge of judging students who are still staying at Bronze.

I looked carefully to see if there were any gems that could be salvaged.

However, most of them were those who did not have anything special to do.

‘I don’t think there’s anyone who can add more characteristics to Gojingamrae.’

Leaving behind her regret, she stood facing the next student.

It’s obvious, but I don’t intend to let these students go easily.

When 10 students were prevented from being promoted, their characteristics were strengthened to some extent.

This, on the contrary, means that passing through has the potential to harm the gatekeeper’s characteristics.

I plan to send only eligible students.

I feel sorry for the students who are in a hurry to be promoted right away, but there is no malice.

Rather, I thought it was right to look more strictly for them.

‘I heard that the majority of deaths among people with special abilities occur in C-class.’

And C rank is exactly the same as Silver by Academy standards.

If we become even a little stronger here, the future will be easier.

There will be a lower chance of getting killed or injured while fighting monsters or fighting villains.

‘So. I can’t go, these guys.’

I’m saying that everything goes well for you. cancer. don’t be like that

“ruler. Today’s lecture ends here.”

A professor with a cast on his arm arranges the textbooks and announces the end.

Correspondingly, Kim Soo-hyun packed books and writing instruments a little faster than usual.

Normally, I would have been nervous looking at the surroundings again.

To be honest, even now, I am not at all nervous.

Even before the start of the lecture, some people were whispering about him.

Although she was the only granddaughter of Kang Min-seong, she was not active in anything.

Everyone else fights, but he doesn’t do anything like an incompetent person.

Is he really the cousin of Kang Do-kyung and Kang Ji-soo?

Kwok-

Biting his lip, Kim Soo-hyun tried hard to erase them.

But it was not an easy task. It’s hard to be compared every time.

My maternal grandfather, who was a great hero in the past. Although retired from active duty, he is still an excellent maternal uncle.

And even the cousins who are just showing their outstanding skills as talented people.

One by one, they were things that choked Kim Soo-hyun.

Even the students who say that are all better than themselves.

They are still struggling at the bronze level, but they have already achieved the silver level.

I’m short of it. Even if it is insufficient, it is too insufficient. He’s an incompetent talent.

Such thoughts kept raising their heads and driving Kim Soo-hyun crazy.

Dori Dori –

Another moment when Kim Soo-hyun is about to fall into his own dark world.

“I have admitted that I am worse than others.”

What Baek Seo-jin said in the morning comes to mind.

To admit that I am worse than others? How could that be?

‘Examiner… I miss you.’

Unknowingly, my footsteps are separated.

The place she was heading to was the screening room where the rating was judged.

I heard that some lectures have been canceled or taken a few weeks off.

This means that more and more people are trying to use public lectures to evaluate grades.

‘Wouldn’t it be hard… ?’

Returning to work immediately after being discharged. It’s absurd.

But Baek Seo-jin just laughed and said it was inevitable.

Kim Soo-hyun didn’t ask any more because he seemed to have his own circumstances.

Fortunately, Kang Min-sung took the anti-fatigue medicine, so I thought it was fortunate.

Sabak-

As we approach the screening room, the situation in which the screening is taking place comes into view.

A student who is sweating profusely and throwing magic.

On the other side, the examiner was slowly approaching while casting magic.

‘Examiner Baek Seo-jin.’

It seemed that the results of the examination had already been decided. There are too few magic students.

It takes a long time to complete one magic, and the accuracy rate is poor.

It would have been okay to finish the examination earlier. But Baek Seo-jin did not do that.

I made the student use more magic at least once while taking as much time as possible.

“The examiner is really great. Aren’t you tired? It’s already the twelfth.”

Kim Soo-hyun, who flinched at the voice he heard next to him, turned his head.

“Are you going to be judged too?”

“… no.”

“no? Well, yes. Looking at it earlier, some kids went to see the teaching assistants. They said it would be much easier to be judged by them. Even if I put silver on it like that, I wouldn’t be able to grow any further than that anyway. It would be better to improve your skills a little more even if you are in trouble like me.”

Kim Soo-hyun looked at the name tag with her eyes slightly narrowed.

Lee Hyun Woo. The name of the male student who approached me was Lee Hyeon-woo.

“… Did you lose to Judge Baek Seo-jin?”

“uh. no opponent He told me very well why I am bronze. You’re not normal.”

At those words, Kim Soo-hyun’s lips went up very slightly.

Other than himself, someone else is overestimating Baek Seo-jin.

not bad. I felt proud in my heart.

“If you’re going to be judged, get it from judge Baek Seo-jin, not someone else… oh By any chance, aren’t you a senior?”

At Lee Hyun-woo’s question, Kim Soo-hyun shook his head.

“I’m glad. Oh, by any chance you’re already at the silver level?”

“… bronze.”

“bronze? thank god. Comrade.”

“comrade?”

“uh. I’m bronze too.”

for a while. No, for quite some time, it was a meeting of two bronzes that Silver could never dream of.
