chapter 9
9. fitness test
A face that seems to have gathered only the strengths of all cold beauties in the world.
“hi?”
“…”
Although she has a beautiful appearance, she is not easily approachable thanks to the cold atmosphere she exudes.
This woman with such an impression is true.
“Oh, that. Uh… no, nyeong…?”
Because he is shy, he has an introverted personality that makes it difficult to have a conversation.
“Are you on your way to the gym?”
“Ugh, ugh.”
creeping voice.
Contrary to the need for recognition, self-confidence and self-esteem are very low.
All of them are the result of gaslighting by relatives.
“Then, shall I go…?”
Passing me by with a lot of cringe.
The condition is more serious than expected.
It would be negative to say more here.
As long as I knew that Jang Ha-ra was at this school, there were many ways to meet her, so I decided to send her for now.
I moved my steps again and headed for the measurement room.
With the exception of Jang Ha-ra’s personality, it’s not enough to call her ‘all-rounder’.
Not only studying, but also proficiency in this ability, lyrics, musical instruments, etc.
It’s a setting that I ended up doing this and that with one desire to be recognized…
Enough to cover it all up, my introverted personality catches my ankle.
Avoids conversations with people and does not build relationships for fear of disappointing others.
Even though they have superior abilities than anyone else, they do not even have the courage to express them.
It’s unfortunate.
It’s something I need to change.
Upon entering the measurement room, attention is focused on me as if I were the last.
I walked quickly and stood next to Nari Seo.
Nari Seo greeted me with a smile.
“Then, go to the fitness room for numbers 1 through 10, and go to the special room for the second number.”
They were divided into halves to measure, but I went into the ‘special room’ first because it was the second number.
The special room is, simply put, a room for measuring abilities.
It is said that rankings are also ranked according to points.
“hmm······.”
It’s a bit wasteful to use potions here.
It’s just a ranking, it doesn’t affect your school life.
Let’s try without the potion this time.
[ A sub quest is created. ]
But the system doesn’t seem to want to leave it that way.
=
{ Subquest – Measure }
Clear condition – Get first place in this measurement!
Reward – Synchronization Potion x 3, ???
Penalty for Failure – None.
=
I didn’t know that they would give me a new quest.
Subra, it must be a light quest different from the main one.
By the way, even if you use one potion in this way, two are beneficial.
I’m curious about the reward with three question marks, and above all, there is no penalty.
I have to do this.
I close the quest window and think about what kind of life I want to sync with.
First of all, there are two measurements that are carried out here.
Measurement of destructive power and measurement of combat power.
The destructive power measurement literally only looks at the destructive power, so you just have to hit that machine that looks like a punch machine.
Combat power measurement is the measurement of fighting a machine that imitates the appearance of a monster in a special room.
“Ummm…”
Frankly, finding a suitable life has been quite difficult.
You have to have good stamina, you have excellent strength, and you can fight against monsters and win.
Have I lived such a life?
“······ah?”
Come to think of it, there was only one.
my ninth life
Strong, good stamina, hard to die.
I run from morning to evening, work at a convenience store until dawn, sleep for two hours, and load and unload again.
It was a crazy life that I lived through that schedule every day and didn’t die for nearly a year.
I don’t have any special skills to use in battle, but if you believe in the crazy performance of the skill boots that made ballpoint pens like bullets…
It’s good enough to try for number 1.
[Sync to the ninth life. ]
[ Synchronization rate is 20%. ]
[ Skillize your specialty. ]
[There are a total of two skills that can be copied. ]
Perhaps thanks to the high synchronization rate, there were two skills that could be copied this time.
Soon, a list of skills came to mind.
=
1. Adaptation
2. Burning
3. Vitality
=
I didn’t get a good feel just by looking at it, so I checked the skill description carefully.
[ Adaptation – Gain the ability to adapt to the environment. 100% resistance to cold and heat. ]
[Burning – Strength increases significantly for 1 hour. If the duration ends or the skill is stopped, you will get tired, and you can use the skill again after 30 minutes. ]
[ Vitality – Does not kill instantly. doesn’t die well. Reduces all damage taken by half. ]
Each one was an opener.
‘Adaptation’ doesn’t seem to be a particularly necessary situation, so I chose ‘Burning’ and ‘Life’.
[ Acquire the skill ‘Burning’. ]
[Acquire the skill, ‘Life force’. ]
The preparations are now complete.
All that remains is to wait for my turn.
“Oh, it’s your turn.”
Then, it was Seo Nari’s turn.
Nari Seo stood in front of the punch machine with a nervous expression.
A large punch machine that appears to be twice the size of a human.
Seo Nari gestured quickly.
A small portal opened in the air, and a chain came out and hit the punch machine.
bang!
The resulting score is 345 points. The perfect score was 999, so it wasn’t a high score.
As I said before, Nari Seo is still at a weak point.
There is only one chain now, but each time Nari Seo commits a ‘murder’, that chain gets stronger and increases by one.
That’s why the name attached is ‘Chain of sin’.
At the time of the final chapter, Nari Seo had 15 chains.
Each chain could easily pierce a large boulder.
However, there is no way that Nari Seo will become stronger in this episode.
I will stop killing people as much as possible.
Seo Na-ri approached me in a dauntless state.
『I ruined it.』
It was a bit sad to see him smile.
“great job.”
It didn’t really comfort me.
It would be meaningless to say trite words.
Instead, he took out a piece of chocolate.
Nari Seo’s favorite snack, dark chocolate.
“…!”
Nari Seo’s eyes sparkled as soon as she saw the chocolate.
It’s new, but I thought I couldn’t hide my expression.
I opened the chocolate myself and handed it over.
“·······?!”
Nari Seo looked up as if she could eat it.
I nodded and took a bite of the chocolate.
Her soft lips lightly touched her fingers.
I was embarrassed, but I didn’t show it.
But it wasn’t Seo Nari.
My cheeks blushed when I realized that I had arrived late.
He munches the chocolate and moves his hand hurriedly.
“Sorry. Did you feel bad…?”
‘Okay’ is the wrong answer here.
“what?”
This is how you can rest assured.
Seo Na-ri puts on a happy face.
“Nothing.”
passed well
“No. 19 Lee Yoo-hyeon!”
And my turn came.
As we step out in front of the punch machine, all of the chattering kids become quiet.
As a transfer student, it must be the focus of attention.
It’s a little burdensome, but it’s enough when you see the result.
[Use the skill, ‘Burning’. ]
When I used the skill, I felt full of strength.
When you make a fist, the feeling that the power that goes into your hand has changed.
I swung my fist without delay.
Kwaaang!!
There was a roar that shook the entire room.
Scores went up quickly.
─925 points.
The best grades greeted me.
I was also surprised at the performance that was better than expected.
“crazy······.”
I wasn’t the only one surprised.
Most of the students present at this place were surprised.
It doesn’t make sense, or it’s great.
Other people’s comments were arbitrarily hammered into my ears.
In the buzzing atmosphere, a sense of satisfaction rose.
that you are interested
It feels better than I thought.
By the time my shoulders pierced the stratosphere with the feeling of being focused on the spotlight, I saw Seo Nari timidly clapping.
Satisfaction doubled.
First of all, I turned off the ‘Burning’ skill.
I’m going to move on to combat power measurement soon, but my turn will come at least 40 minutes later, so it was a choice considering efficiency.
“Wow, Mr. . . . .”
As soon as I turned off the skill, my strength continued to drain.
I thought there would be some compromise since I hadn’t been wearing it for less than 10 minutes, but without any of that, fatigue came.
After staggering slightly, she regained her senses and went to Nari Seo.
“amazing! Yoohyeon is incredibly strong!』
I was a little worried that I might have died, but it was Nari Seo who was genuinely happy.
I’m glad.
『Is it that great?』
“of course! There are not many people who have scored over 800 points, but they are in the 900 range! It’s huge.”
I didn’t know it was to that extent.
Compared to the top-tier heroes, it may still be a weak level, but it is still a very satisfactory result.
Suddenly, I realized that this quest wasn’t all that difficult.
If the synchronization rate rises, we will be able to do many things in the future.
I don’t know how to upload it yet, but I feel like sub-quests will be the key.
Tuk-tuk.
Nari Seo stabbed her shoulder.
After doing something, it was a signal that the destructive power measurement was over.
Now the combat power measurement will begin.
I’ve met monsters many times, but this was the first time I’d ever fought them myself.
Well, since it’s a machine, you don’t need to worry too much.
“The combat power test is conducted based on the destructive power just measured. I do the scoring myself.”
That’s also true, it’s not a real monster, it’s a machine.
There is no danger.
“Lee Yuhyeon, you proceed to the last step. Don’t worry, it will stop if you feel like dying.”
······Is that right?
