The ‘commander’ plays the role of a supporter, that is, leading the team members and making them stronger.
And making a weak person strong will be more impressive than making a strong person even stronger.
I reorganized my plans in my mind and approached the old flag on the side of the armory, passing through hostility, indifference, and the few friendly glances.
At that moment, the big man deliberately bumped into my shoulder hard and passed by with a sneer.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how ridiculous you’re going to look.”
Looking at his face, he was originally one of the henchmen bought off by Nayuhan’s money.
As expected, it’s strong-weak-weak-strong. The people around Deongchi laugh in agreement. I expected this level of restraint.
I tightly gripped the old flag. Go ahead and laugh as much as you want. That smile, I’ll make it disappear today.
During the weapon aptitude assessment time, the dealer-type students are given priority initially.
Countless dealer reservists attack the moving target in formation, searching for a weapon that fits their hands better.
Students who already know the optimal weapon proudly showcase their skilled attacks.
Kang Nahyun generally handled the gun well, but naturally, she showed a high aptitude for the sniper rifle.
It seemed that the days of practice at the training center paid off, as he skillfully showcased his shooting abilities, unlike the government-supported Awakened ones. Not bad.
As a result of observing for a few days, Kang Nahyun’s proficiency with firearms was higher than expected. He probably has no experience shooting a gun, so should we call it talent?
Anyway, it seems like it wouldn’t be a problem to take him to ‘that’ dungeon today.
Meanwhile, Nayuri, with knuckles on her hands, elegantly pounded the target. Every time you look back at me, your power gets stronger, but I want to believe that you don’t think of me as your target when you hit.
Park Si-woo skillfully wielded various weapons with ease, in accordance with his skill called “Thousand Weapons.” Swords, guns, bows, spears… various weapons danced in his hands.
Countless targets were torn apart, crushed, pierced, and shredded by various weapons, meeting their end.
He didn’t use the old sword he had been carrying on his back until the very end.
As expected, the main character. Monster child.
In addition, various dealers like Wind’s Child Choi Soo-jung and Ice’s Lee Ha-na attacked the target, showcasing their skills.
Even though they weren’t equipped, there were still many who stood out in Class D.
After a while, the time for the dealers to assess their suitability ended, and it was the tankers’ turn. Tanker, what’s so special about it? Getting beaten up by a dealer.
The size was like a tank, and he was happily beaten up, but he looked quite decent.
The finale is the supporters’ time.
The healer class heals injured dealers or tankers and assesses their abilities.
Supporters do not evaluate alone. Pair up with a dealer or tank, and figure out how much you can strengthen or weaken them.
I, too, am a supporter, so I stood up from my seat.
The partner, of course…
“Please take care of it!”
Kang Nahyun, it’s this guy.
“Next, Group D!”
Originally, students attack a moving target and then measure how much damage they inflicted on it.
However, if it’s just that much, it won’t leave an impact.
“Teaching assistant, I request a change in the grading method.”
“Why?”
“Because a commander is a position that deals with people.”
A ghostly instructor with a fierce demeanor. It’s hard to even start a conversation, and they teach students more strictly than anyone else.
“Additionally, the equipment I chose, the ‘flag,’ is optimized for conveying commands.”
However, I also know another side of him.
“Now is the time to assess weapon compatibility.” To know if this flag truly suits me-
He is merciful to students who raise objections ‘with just cause’ and ‘to make an effort.’
“Command the team members and engage in combat against the creatures.”
Look. The corners of his mouth lift. A hearty laugh bursts forth.
Haha-! That makes sense. Great!
As planned.
He is the type of person who is not affected by rumors. So, you will judge me based only on what you see right now.
“Then, what kind of method do you want?”
“It’s a duel.” It would be better for me to lead the team and handle one student at a time.
He directs a friendly gaze towards me. It’s a success.
“Fine, I admit it.” Considering its uniqueness, Group D will proceed with a duel format!
The ghost teaching assistant looks around the now quiet surroundings. Before long, the children who had been focused on the commotion over here are startled.
“A tank would be a good opponent for the duel.” “Is there anyone interested?”
For a moment, silence. And-.
“Me!”
“I will bring that guy down a peg!”
“I will kill you!”
“I am the one who has the right to beat that guy!”
As if they had never been silent, the applicants suddenly became noisy. The eyes burning with the determination to beat me up were intense.
“There are… many applicants.”
Avoiding the gaze of the ghostly assistant who seemed to be judging my life choices, I forced a bitter smile. The karma of Nayuhan is profound…
“……May I point out my opponent?”
“……Okay.”
I approached the particularly large and intimidating guy in Class D.
“You.”
My opponent is you, big guy.
“Ha, you seem confident, young master?”
I looked down at his size and gave a sneer. At times like this, I really like this face. It’s easy to attract attention.
“Someone like you is easy to deal with.”
“This guy…!”
As if he had never been relaxed, I returned to my seat, leaving the steam-headed figure behind.
“I have made my choice, TA.”
Time was given to identify the opponent and devise a strategy. I quietly conveyed my plan to Kang Nahyun.
“Are you really okay with this?”
The look of concern directed at me was quite amusing, so I patted Kang Nahyun’s head.
“Trust me.”
Kang Nahyun slightly flushed her cheeks and nodded vigorously.
“Yeah!”
I recalled the status of the giant I saw through the insight.
[Status]
– Name: Kim Cheolsu
– Occupation: Shieldbearer
– Level: 10
– Strength: D+
– Agility: F
– Stamina: D+
– Magic Power: E
– Magic Attribute: None
[Skills Held]
– Passive: Toughness
– Active: Magic Shield
– Active: Widening
The agility of the physique is F. My agility is F.
But the body is wearing heavy equipment. So I can move more lightly.
The power of bulk is E. It is the same figure as Kang Nahyun.
If the situation allows, it means that even if Dongchi deploys a magic shield, Kang Nahyun can shoot a magic bullet to break it.
Then, even if there is a difference in skill levels, it can be compensated with my support.
“Are you ready?”
“Yes.”
Dongchi and I stood at both ends of the designated spot.
“I’ll crush you!”
“You’ll probably get crushed.” Don’t worry, I’ll leave your face intact. Still, your face looks like a mung bean pancake.
And then, I confidently walked up to Kang Nahyun. The murmur of the crowd grew louder.
“The supporter is in front?”
“What on earth are you thinking?”
The guy’s face turned even redder, as if he thought I was mocking him.
This bastard…! Are you looking down on me…!
No, this is still a strategic choice, you know. I lowered my body and observed the giant’s movements with ‘insightful eyes.’
“Then-”
The muscles are tensing up. As expected, they’re coming out attacking.
“Start!”
“I’ll crush you!”
That’s the only way it feels worth it to stir up some trouble!
I grinned at the hulking figure charging at me. And I was convinced.
This match, my victory!
Please provide the text you would like to have translated.
Like in slow motion, the approaching fist appears to move slowly.
“What!”
Whoosh, by a hair’s breadth, I dodged his punch, and the big guy looked flustered.
Of course, it would be surprising. Even though my level was 10, the ultimate clumsy fighter, Nayuhan, with all F stats, managed to dodge my punch.
But if it only shows up, avoiding it isn’t a problem.
“Are you done, big guy?”
I waved the flag gently and laughed mischievously. Here comes the underdog rebellion.
“Eek, eek!”
The big guy swung his fist wildly.
Still, the agility is the same. My body creaks, but there’s no reason to avoid it!
I used the [Enhance] skill on the flag to strengthen my body.
As expected of an F-rank, using just one skill drained all my mana.
“Die!”
“Who would willingly die?”
But it’s okay. Avoiding it has become faster.
And when things get dangerous, Kang Nahyun’s support fire is there. Since you’ve said it like that, they’ll take care of it.
For example, yeah, right now-.
Bang!
Kang Nahyun, as if she could read my mind, precisely loaded the bullet into the giant’s fist.
A magic bullet, huh? A wise choice…! The atmosphere is good.
“Ahhh!”
Focusing on me, it seemed like he had completely forgotten about Kang Nahyun, and the damage to the bulky figure who couldn’t deploy the magic shield was greater than expected. The figure, as if in pain, clutched its right hand, which had been crushed by the magical bullet.
And I attracted the big guy’s attention again.
“What’s wrong, are you trying to kill me?”
“This guy!”
Why?
This guy shouldn’t be getting his attention on Kang Nahyun.
The big guy, losing his reason to pain and anger, swings his fists wildly.
This form… skill, Berserk.
Yeah, I’ve been waiting for this!
I grinned slyly, waving the flag like a bullfighter to provoke the giant, and dodged.
“Ahhhhh-!”
The size gradually lost its reason.
When the big guy completely loses his mind. When I was fully immersed in myself, I raised the flag towards the sky. A signal we agreed on.
-Now!
And along the wide-open field of vision, Kang Nahyun’s gun barrel was aimed precisely at the thug’s head.
-탕!
“Stop!”
The ghost instructor’s barrier enveloped the giant, bringing the duel to an end.
It was my perfect victory.
185
If you’re a commander, then command from the back, you fearless brat.
It’s a good thing we synchronized our breathing beforehand during training. If it weren’t for that, I would have shot you in the head, you bastard.
I lowered the sniper rifle and let out a sigh.
What does he trust me with this kill for? In the original novel, didn’t you leave this part to Dumdum and command from behind?
What the hell is wrong with this gambling-addicted, victim mentality kid?
Even after the duel results were announced, it took a long time for the tension to ease, allowing me the leisure to browse the meta system.
Still…
[Meta Point: 200]
