I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 76 - Raid Battle (4)

“I can't believe it...”

“Is this possible...?”

The atmosphere in this place where the scouts were gathered was astonishing.

[Dream Academy - Dream Team: < Unmeasurable >]

It was none other than the record of the Dream Team in the 4th round.

A record that cannot be accurately measured.

The 4th round of the raid battle was to protect the magic crystal in the dungeon where dryads regenerated infinitely.

As a result, the method of measuring the score by calculating the time students endured.

So time had to be measured.

It was because the dryads were pouring out literally ‘infinitely'.

Considering the performance of the Dream Team in the last round, it was quite predictable that the Dream Team would last a long time compared to other teams.

But whether it's 1 hour or 2 hours.

No, even if it went beyond a day, time had to be measured.

Again, it was because the dryads were pouring out infinitely.

However, the record of the dream team is none other than measurable.

In the sense that records cannot be measured literally, this meant only one thing.

“The Dungeon… you broke…?”

The dungeon itself collapsed.

Of course, collapsing an actual dungeon was impossible, not worth mentioning.

However, the dungeons in raid battles were not actual dungeons, but dungeons realized through sorcery.

Therefore, it was not impossible to collapse the dungeon by breaking the magic core that embodies the dungeon.

“It's ridiculous... You won't be able to find out the true nature of the magic core inside the dungeon...?”

But that's not impossible, but that doesn't mean it's easy.

“What is this…”

“Oh, wasn’t there an error?”

So round 4 is over now.

The scouts' waiting room was filled with astonishment.

‘How did this happen...?'

Among them, Dohyeon Lee, a scout of the Ares Guild, felt the same way.

Lee Do-hyun had an outstanding talent for seeing the potential of students.

As a simple example, most of the A-class hunters currently active in the Ares Guild were those who were scouted by Lee Do-hyun during their student days.

When others just passed by, Lee Do-hyun was the one who recognized the potential in advance and scouted it to Ares Guild.

With these achievements, the Master of the Ares Guild had no choice but to acknowledge Lee Do-hyun's talent.

So, he showed confidence in delegating all personnel rights related to this event.

maybe that's why

‘This can't be...'

Lee Do-hyun's feelings were now beyond amazement.

In Lee Do-hyun's eyes, he couldn't understand how much the dream team's potential was.

Of course, if you only evaluate the level right now, it was not so surprising.

In fact, it was a result that could be seen occasionally even in the pro hunter world.

If you bring in A-class hunters who have been rolling in the field for decades right now, the records the dream team showed were not that overwhelming.

but.

Literally, they were ‘class A' hunters who had been in the field for ‘tens of years'.

And who's dog's name is the A-class hunter?

Those with mediocre talent are in a state that they cannot reach even if they struggle their whole lives.

Among those called geniuses, it was a state that could be reached through efforts to lose weight.

In the first place, it was far outside the category of having to compare A-class hunters and students.

Moreover, an unprecedented record of destroying the 3rd round link bell within 19 seconds.

Lastly, the unmeasurable record in the 4th round...

‘Can we say that they are A-rank hunters...?'

It is also true that the true nature of the magic core that embodies the dungeon cannot be captured inside the dungeon.

In the first place, it was because the magic core was not inside the dungeon, but outside the dungeon.

Therefore, in order to collapse the dungeon, the magic core had to be destroyed outside the dungeon, not inside the dungeon.

However, there was only one way to destroy the magic core in the dungeon.

It was the time when the dungeon received an enormous shock that none other than the magic core could handle.

And it really had to be a ‘huge shock'.

It was difficult even for A-rank hunters, and honestly, it was only possible by bringing in an S-rank hunter.

As for the 5 heroes...

‘What am I thinking right now...'

Lee Do-hyun shakes his head roughly without even realizing it.

It was ridiculous to compare A-class hunters to students, but it was because it was full of energy to go beyond S-class hunters and bring in heroes of cataclysm.

“Dream Team… Aren’t you a fraudulent registrant?”

In an atmosphere of astonishment, one of the scouts shouted.

fraudulent registrant.

It refers to those who have already passed the pro hunter test, but hide the fact and pretend to be students.

The reason was to participate in a competition that only students could participate in like this.

As a result, there were really rare cases as a malicious person aiming for the prize money.

And if the dream team was a fraudulent registrant, this gap was fully accounted for.

That's why it was the most reasonable suspicion that scouts could have.

“That's not right. One of the Dream Team over there woke up two months ago.”

“This crazy...”

However, with a single word from someone, that possibility also faded.

And there was another crucial reason why the Dream Team was not a fraudulent registrant.

“Above all, the leader of the Dream Team is Kim Seo-joon.”

“Kim Seojun? The winner of the Hunter Mill Mock Test?”

“Besides, it seems like the runner-up Lee Min-yul is on the same team?”

silence for a while.

Scouts spat out one word at a time.

“No matter how much it is... This is completely different from the time I saw it at the Hunter Mill Mock Test...”

“It's been less than a month since the Hunter Mill Mock Test ended...? How did he grow so much in such a short period of time...? Is that a person?”

The scouts were at a loss for words and just stared blankly at the display board.

And Lee Do-hyun was no different from them.

‘Oh how in less than a month...'

This was an absurd growth momentum.

If this momentum continues...

From now on, there are only a few months left until the Pro Hunter exam.

What if 5 years... no, 1 year had passed since they set foot in the professional world?

No, I didn't need a year.

What if the pro hunter exams in a few months are over and they step into the pro hunter world...?

‘...... There will be a huge ripple effect.'

Lee Do-hyun couldn't even guess how much the ripple would be.

After thinking this far, Lee Do-hyun raised his smartphone with his eyes shining.

‘certainly. No matter what happens, we have to recruit them.'

If it were them, the Ares Guild, which was ranked in the top 10, would send them to the top 5, which they had hoped for even in their dreams.

No, it was not a dream for the Ares guild to emerge as the best guild in Korea, let alone rank in the top 5.

So whatever you want, you must bring it in.

It is best to recruit the entire dream team.

Even if that doesn't work, the top priority is Seojun Kim.

If even that doesn't work, I have to make some point of contact with Kim Seo-joon.

And it wasn't just Lee Do-hyun who thought that way.

The scouts looked at each other and secretly held up their smartphones.

“Master now…”

“How can our guild operate funds…”

“No, we shouldn’t be arguing about this and that right now!”

It was an instant for the scout's waiting room to turn into a heaping market.

#

Around the time when the scouts' waiting room was in an uproar over Seo-joon.

Seojun was staring blankly at the spear of Longinus in his hand.

‘This is true...'

In the meantime, Seojun did not know exactly the effect of the Longinus spear.

At least, in the last Hunter Mill mock test, he pierced the mana barrier without any obstacles.

The mana shield that monsters have is useless in front of the spear of Longinus.

This was the information that Seo-joon grasped.

So Seo-joon guessed that Longinus' spear might have the effect of ignoring the mana barrier.

To put it simply, I thought it might be a characteristic that ignores the target's defense.

However, having actually used Gungnir, Gungnir also ignored the target's defense.

To be precise, nothing could withstand the power of Gungnir.

That's why Seo-joon's Longinus spear doesn't ignore defense.

I guess it was just a press due to the difference in rank. and changed my mind.

But before.

‘Gungnir didn't work, but Longinus's spear worked...'

Something Seo-jun felt in the dungeon that had no substance.

If it wasn't for Chiron's senses, something he wouldn't have known.

Gungnir only cut through the air, but somehow Longinus's spear was able to strike.

And it was only after the dungeon collapsed that Seo-joon was able to realize that it was the magic core that had been implementing the dungeon.

The magic core of a dungeon certainly exists, but it does not exist within the dungeon.

Perhaps the Longinus spear is not a concept that ignores the target's defense.

To be precise, wouldn't it be a direct blow to ‘existence' itself?

‘I still need to do a bit more comparison to find out...'

Longinus's spear that was visible again.

“Suddenly, the dryads disappear all at once… Did I think the captain wiped them all out?”

“No matter how you think about it, it makes no sense. It certainly didn't have the power to collapse the dungeon...”

Seo-joon only let out a laugh.

And it was then.

Swoop.

A dark shadow suddenly fell over the sitting Seo-jun.

It seemed that someone was approaching, but it was different.

Min-yul and Su-yeon's gaze went to the same place, and soon they showed a surprised expression.

Seojun slowly raised his head at the reaction of the two.

And there, none other than Gaon Academy's Crest Team Jeong Si-woo was standing in front of Seo-joon.

Jeong Si-woo was looking at Seo-joon with eyes that showed no emotion.

At the same time, Jeong Si-woo just looked at Seo-joon and didn't say anything.

When Seo-jun tilted his head as if he had something to say, only then did Jeong Si-woo slowly open his mouth.

“What tricks did you play?”

Like Jung Si-woo's expression, his voice also lacked emotion.

It was as if someone had borrowed Jung Si-woo's vocal chords to speak.

Instead of answering, Seo-joon slightly turned his gaze to look over Jeong Si-woo's shoulder.

Then, Park Eun-jung and Do Min-joon, who are the same class team as Jung Si-woo, were looking at this direction, restless.

It seemed that this situation was Jeong Si-woo's sudden action.

Seo-joon looked back and said to Jeong Si-woo.

“Is it a trick?”

“Are you going to run away?”

As soon as Seo-jun finished speaking, Jeong Si-woo answered.

Jung Si-woo seemed to think that Seo-joon had cheated.

At that moment, Min-yul got angry and tried to step out, but Seo-joon stopped Min-yul and spoke again.

“Do you think I cheated?”

“Otherwise, I don’t think the current situation is possible.”

Jeong Si-woo's voice did not show any emotion, but this time there was a certain certainty.

And in fact, this kind of thought of Jung Si-woo was not unique to Jung Si-woo.

There was only a difference in degree, but the thoughts of all the students who participated in the raid battle were not very different from Jung Si-woo.

That's why the Dream Team's performance made no sense.

I admit that Seojun Kim is outstanding.

It was because Jung Si-woo heard about the Hunter Mill Mock Test not long ago and knew about it.

That's why 123 rounds were able to hit that.

However, it was not an unmeasurable record in this fourth round.

‘Lee Ha-yoon... I'm not sure.'

Jeong Si-woo briefly recalled Lee Ha-yoon's appearance in the exchange match.

A Hunter Mill Ale Gaon exchange exhibition that took place a few months ago.

Korea's three major academies held a competition among themselves under the name of exchange competition.

Of course, it was an informal affair, and what happened inside was also a complete secret.

Jeong Si-woo participated in such exchanges as Gaon's representative.

To be precise, only those who were called tops in each academy could participate in the battle.

Therefore, in Hunter Mill and Ale, students also called the top participated in the battle.

Thus, the purpose was to compete with geniuses and to arouse awareness and a sense of triumph, not pride.

In such an exchange match, Jeong Si-woo met Lee Ha-yoon for the first time.

I heard about it a lot, but it was the first time I actually encountered it.

And Lee Ha-yoon, whom I met, was of a different class.

Literally, the class itself was different.

It was absolutely no exaggeration to say that he was the greatest talent in the history of pro hunters.

Rather, I think it might have been reduced.

Lee Ha-yoon clearly showed that there is another sky for the geniuses who participated in the exchange match.

I wonder if Lee Ha-yoon is like that.

Jeong Si-woo calmed down his emotions again and looked at Seo-joon.

Seo-joon looked at Jeong Si-woo.

silence for a while.

Then Siwoo Jeong turned around and left.

Like that, round 4 ended and shortly after, round 5 started.

And the 5th round, the last round of the raid battle, was none other than the boss raid.

If the raid method so far had been to attack the monsters in the dungeon.

This 5th round was a way to attack only one entity, not monsters.

That's why it's named Boss Raid.

In fact, to be precise, I couldn't define ‘boss'.

That's because it wasn't a real boss monster, it was just a high-level normal monster raid.

However, even if it was a normal monster, the story changed when its level reached a whopping 9 stars.

Of course, since it was a monster implemented through magic, it was not a perfect 9-star monster.

Normally, there is a difference of about 2 stars, but this raid battle had a difference of about 1 star, not 2 stars.

Therefore, it was desirable to see it as an 8-star level.

And the 8-star dungeon was a difficulty that the party of A-class professional hunters attacked.

Since there was not only one 8-star monster in an 8-star dungeon, it was not appropriate to directly compare it to the actual level.

In a word, it meant that it was a monster that could not be caught at the level of students.

That's why the 5th round wasn't about defeating the boss.

How students attack powerful monsters.

At the same time, what kind of wits do you use in such a situation?

It was a way to measure these points by comprehensively evaluating them.

Of course, the highest score was awarded when the boss was defeated.

However, in the raid battles that took place every year, not a single team had a history of success.

Therefore, the key to the 5th round was to endure as much as possible or score points while receiving effective hits.

but.

“By the way, brother. If this is the case, isn’t our victory guaranteed?”

Round 5 didn't mean much to the Dream Team.

To be precise, it didn't mean much to the dream team.

It was because the match had already been decided from the 4th round... no, the 3rd round.

In fact, the 5th round was nothing more than ranking the rest of the rankings except for the 1st place.

“I see...”

Of course, Seo-joon knew that, so it was true that he was feeling down somewhere.

‘I still have to work hard.'

But I didn't mean to do it casually.

It was because the showdown with a 9-star monster could be the basis for growth by itself.

Implementing monsters through sorcery was costly.

Naturally, the higher the level, the exponentially higher the cost.

The exact amount was unknown, but Seojun knew that a 9-star monster would cost billions of dollars.

That's why I knew that round 5 was a rehash without implementing 9-star monsters for all teams.

In a word, a battle with a 9-star monster is worth billions of dollars.

That's why it was foolish to blow this opportunity easily just because the championship was confirmed.

So, Seo-joon made up his mind and headed to the place where the 5th round was going on.

But just then

“Uh… Dream Team?”

Suddenly, a raid battle official caught Seo-joon.

Seo-joon stopped walking and spoke to the person in charge.

“What are you doing?”

“That's... um...”

The official did not open his mouth with a somewhat troubled expression.

Seo-joon waited silently for such an official, and after a while, the official slowly opened his mouth.

“Actually… the Dream Team has an offer.”

“A suggestion?”

The official nodded and continued.

“If the dream team defeats the boss in this 5th round, I will give you all the prize money for this tournament.”

“Yes? All the prize money from the tournament?”

“instead.”

Before Seo-joon had time to be surprised, the official added another comment.

“If the Dream Team fails to defeat the boss, the Dream Team's prize money is forfeited.”
