"The purpose of the exam is simple."
The supervisor pointed at something behind the glass.
The test takers saw it by moving their heads left and right.
A white ball about 30 centimeters deep floated in the air.
"You only need to hunt dolls, artificial monsters that mimic monsters."
The supervisor continued his explanation.
The clothes you wear today are equipped with special sensors.
If you receive a blow equivalent to a serious injury, you are automatically eliminated.
In short, you only need to hunt the puppets without being seriously injured.
"Do you have any questions?"
The students are silent.
Most of them will know this as a preliminary study.
"First test taker in Group D. Let's go forward."
The candidate on the left steps forward.
He looked nervous, but his body was trembling.
It seems like the first time I saw him was so nervous.
"You're free to choose your weapon."
The wall next to it was turned upside down, and many weapons appeared.
All are equipped with sensors, not blades.
Candidate No. 1 hesitated a little, then grabbed the sword.
It was the most common and widely used weapon.
"I'm going in."
The glass room door opens.
The candidate hesitated and entered the room.
And he stood in a place marked by the shape of his feet.
In the middle of the large room, only the puppet and two test takers were left.
"I'll start the test."
A white ball, the doll began to move.
It instantly turned into a Tiny Golem.
'He's a simple man. Is it a bit difficult for the test takers?'
The small golems were powerful, and their bodies made of stone were solid monsters.
However, the joints are weak, so if you know how to deal with it, you can easily attack it.
Beep advantage!
With that signal, the Tiny Golem began to move.
As the name suggests, it is about 2 meters in size.
It was not too big for a golem.
The test taker took a step back as if he was a little overwhelmed.
"Ugh, ah ah ah!"
Still, as a hunter-gatherer, he did not retreat.
It shouted whether it was a cheer or a shout and rushed forward.
Momentum is good, but that's all.
the piece!
Tiny Golem attacked the candidate who narrowed the distance.
The test taker tried to block the attack with a sword.
His posture was too unstable to block that heavy attack.
The suit flashed red, and a signal of failure sounded.
advantage beeping.
The doll returned to the white ball.
Knowing that the test taker had failed, he stood still as if in shock.
The supervisor announces the failure and removes the candidate.
"next. Test participant 2nd Group D. Go ahead."
* * *
There was an observation room across from where the candidates were waiting.
Heo Man-deok, the agent of the Knights Templar inside the observation room, carefully exhaled.
Agents often attend exams like these to find and sign prospects.
But today's air is a little different.
'Why is that Yangban here?'
An old man in a white uniform was looking into the examination room with his back.
The true identity of the old man with a long beard waving like a goddess was the swordsmanship of the Goryeo swordsman.
He is a hunter who never misses when discussing the top of Korean hunters.
True to its name, despite being just nearby, it felt like it was suffocating and suffocating.
Agents from other guilds could barely concentrate on observation.
"Grandfather. I'm right here."
When Candidate Number 25 failed, someone walked into the observation room.
The eyes of the agents were focused on him.
It was the face that Man-deok Heo knew.
'Grandson of the sword castle?'
It was Go Hee-yeon, the grandson of a swordsman.
He was holding hands with a child he had never seen before.
He is such a cute little boy that Man-deok Heo stops thinking for a moment.
Geomseong looked at the girl, Seol-ah.
"Who's the kid?"
"I am the daughter of an examinee I know. Gotta stand up It's your grandfather."
Seol-ah rolled her eyes.
He releases Go Hee-yeon and goes around the sword fortress like a puppy.
Finally, he looked at his long white beard, and opened his mouth in disbelief.
"Are you Santa Claus?"
"."
Seeing that innocent look, the serious swordsman burst into laughter.
A gentle smile spread across the other agents as well as the lips of Mandeok Heo.
Seol-ah puts her hand on her navel and greets her.
"Hello. It's Seol-ah."
"It's nice to meet you. I'm a swordsman."
"Isn't that Santa Claus?"
"I'm sorry, but no."
"like that… … ."
Seol-ah looks disappointed.
Go Hee-yeon smiles and stands next to Gum-seong with Seol-ah.
The tense atmosphere seemed to loosen up a little.
"how?"
"That's no good."
The swordsman turned his gaze towards the window.
One test taker successfully attacked the Tiny Golem.
However, the suit was red enough to be removed by chance.
"I don't know how they fought so much with monsters with known strategies."
"Golem Tiny was quite difficult for the test takers."
The agents sympathize with Ko Hee-yeon's words.
The puppet took different monster forms for each test.
The Tiny Golem, who was chosen as a puppet in this test, was a monster that was more difficult than ordinary practice tests.
"I didn't see it."
Seol-ah jumps in front of the sword castle.
That's because high Seol-ah can't see through the glass.
Geomseong placed his hand on Seol-ah's armpit and hugged her.
"ruler. Can you see me now?"
"Well! Thank ye. Grandpa."
"Hehehe, yes."
The swordsman smiled gently.
He was a swordsman with a stubborn and stubborn impression.
On the first facial expression they saw, the agents looked curious.
Geomseong frowned and looked at the agents.
The agents immediately turned their eyes away.
"You should look over there."
Go Hee-yeon points to the inside of the examination room.
Seol-ah, who was looking into someone's eyes, smiled brightly.
It was a smile that seemed to brighten up the environment a little.
"Dad!"
* * *
"Look good."
Leaving behind Eunhye's brief cheers, she grabbed her weapon.
The weapon I took, of course, a spear.
Hi-tech words engraved on the end of the rod.
This name, with a lot of nonsense, is the name of an arms manufacturing company.
"I'm going in."
The door opened automatically, and I stepped into the room.
When I went inside, I couldn't see the outside of the glass.
It was a treated facility so that he could fully focus on his prey.
There was only me and the doll in the room.
"I'll start the test."
With a beep to signal the beginning, the doll moved.
A mechanical Little Golem appeared in front of me.
Although they were artificial monsters, their habits and movements were exactly the same.
So, it's easier to attack.
'Let's finish quickly.'
doesn't take time
The Tiny Golem approached me slowly.
Without even narrowing the distance, he waited quietly.
The person who approached me slowly raised his blunt hand up high.
the kuang!
arm touching the floor
I retreated lightly and dodged the attack.
Although his instantaneous speed was fast, his attacks were large enough to be seen and avoided.
Holding the spear wide, he dug under the outside of the affected arm.
'Golem is no different from slime.'
Thanks to the source of its power, the golem, which is close to an inanimate object, can move with its ego.
A source of strength that acted like a slime core was embedded in his chest.
Of course, since this was a vital point, there was a means of protection.
The Tiny Golem coffin was surrounded by plates as hard as armor.
Oops!
At the bottom of the plate was a very fine gap.
As if lifting a tile off the floor, he used the window as a lever to tear off the board.
Oops!
The plate is lifted, and the resources are revealed briefly.
That's enough.
He turned the spear and pointed it at the power source.
stab him like that
the piece!
end with that.
The Little Golem stopped moving.
As if the attack was over, a green light lit up in the room.
The supervisor's voice sounded a little surprised.
“...... Candidate number 29 in group D, pass.”
* * *
"It must be that young man you're talking about."
"Isn't that unusual?"
"I'm a man."
The swordsman nodded his head.
A battle that may feel monotonous.
However, it was a neat and uncluttered attack.
It was as if he had had the experience of fighting many times.
'If you have narrowed the distance from the beginning.'
He may have made a record of completing practice exams in a short period of time.
After entering the battle, it didn't take a few seconds for Lee Seo-joon to neutralize the Tiny Golem.
Go Hee-yeon, who has nice eyes, is only described as a 'pleaser'.
"Grandfather. Isn't my dad cool?"
Then Seol-ah, who was in his arms, spoke to me.
Seol-ah, who watched Lee Seo-joon fight with sparkling eyes, looks very proud.
"Yes.your father?"
"Yes! Seol-ah, this is my father!"
"That's interesting."
The agent who saw Lee Seo-joon sighed.
I just showed you a short fight, but I have to wait for the final test to find out.
Judging from the skills he has shown so far, Lee Seo-joon is by far the No rookie.
However, if it was a person related to the Goryeo sword family, he had no choice but to give up the recruitment.
Heo Man-deok did not hide his disappointment.
'I think it would be a lot of money.'
He also has a handsome face, so he is the type of talent Heo Man-deok is looking for.
The Knights Templar were not strong enough to bring the hunters who had come to see the swordsman himself.
Heo Man-deok leaves his regrets and looks at the next examinee.
Candidate number 30 is a woman.
"uh?"
But it was a familiar face.
As someone said, a would-be hunter who refused a contract once.
It was Yoo Eun-hye.
Other agents also showed interest.
"It's a bow ... ...."
"Hm."
Beauty that captivates the eyes even without makeup.
Unlike ordinary test takers, he chose a special weapon called a bow.
He was a prospective student who had no choice but to be interested if he had the skills.
Beep advantage!
A beep sounded, and Tiny Golem moved.
Eun-hye Yoo pulls an arrow straight from the tube and carries the rope.
Heo Man-deok's eyes sparkle.
'Seeing the form, I went to the academy. I thought he was a beggar.'
It was clear that other agents had taken it.
It was a neat posture that could not come out without professional learning.
Eun-hye Yoo releases a protest soon after she pulls him out.
Sir!
The arrow that was fired quickly penetrated right between the joints of the Tiny Golem arm.
It didn't neutralize it, but it was a definite blow.
Tiny Golem cried out in pain and ran towards Grace.
Whoa!
Eunhye did not panic and immediately backed down.
Arrows flying in succession.
Sir! Sir! Sir!
Without deflecting, everything is about the joints.
Accumulated damage to the joints, making them unable to move.
If Seo-joon Lee stabs him in the heart, Eun-hye Yoo has cut a tendon in her limb.
Finally, the Tiny Golem fell forward.
thud!
At the same time it is disabled, the green light turns on.
It passed with impressive skill.
Eunhye looked at the students and blew a V.
Looks like somebody knows.
Her bright smile attracted the attention of the entertainment agencies.
'It must be a contract!'
Around the time agents ran out and trembled their asses to push the contract.
Seol-ah stares at the sword castle with a smile similar to Eun-eun.
"Grandfather. Isn't your mother nice too?"
In short, the agent must release the contract once again.
It was also misunderstood that he was related to the swordsman Goryeo.
heo Mandeok.
'Oh! Shit!'
