Morning class was 'outcall history'. The few sentences I had read in the novel was turned into a 400-page text book. like rewards from towers, names of monsters, location of dungeons in korea, conquerors of towers and dungeons, and countless others.
Even there are question that is not in the novel but thankfully, It didn`t pose much of a problem for me. All thanks to my skill 'reader viewpoint'.
I can know everything in the novel 'plots and details'. Whenever I looked at something, I could get the information about it, so I had nothing to worry about.
"Huu…"
On the other hand, the girl sitting in front of me scratched her head and signed.
Lee Sangah was there.
Lee Sangah hated studying. She had the ability to take the number one spot among female students in fights, but In written exams she was dull because of this, she had to give up the first place seat to Rachel.
I activated 'reader viewpoint'.
[The 'readerviewpoint' skill was activated.]
—[Argh, so annoying. Why do I have to learn stuff like this?!]
Looking at the character once I read was grumling, I couldn`t help but laugh.
At that moment, Lee Sangah turned her head towards me. Her curt eyes glared at me. She must heard my laughter. After all, shooters had keen senses.
I pretended to be clam as I lowered my head and focused on taking notes.
"Tsk." She clicked her tounge and turned her face front.
The bell rang after 2 hours had passed.
"Make sure to go back and read the notes you took today. Otherwise, you`ll cry on the exam."
The black-haired and round glasses wearning professor left with those words.
Lee Sangah face turned full of smiles the moment professor left. It was most likely because of the next class.
Anti-monster combat training.
Just like its name suggested, It was combat training against monsters. The monsters used in the lesson were mana puppets, but their appearance and power were similar to the real thing. Of course, they were weaker than realthing, but there was a high chance of getting injured.
I was scared. Because this was my first monster battle in this world.
"Veritas class, come to the combat training field in 20 minutes!"
A loud voice rang out in the classroom. I turned towards the voice.
Oval face, small eyes, and a muscular body that didn`t match his face. It was Yoo Jinhyuk best friend, Han Danghoon. Knowing the rival battle between Yoo Jinhyuk and Kim Horak, the instructor in charge of the classroom chose Han Danghoon as a class president.
***
Everyone from class veritas gathered at the field. It seemed quite crowded. The students were sharing their nervous, excited and expectations with their friends, but I was alone. Only I was alone in the whole class.
Well, I always alone in my original world so it doesn`t matter…
'Fuck.'
While I was wallowing in loneliness, the instructor, Jin Soohyuk, showed up.
"I`m sure you all know what this lesson is about, So I`ll announce the teams first. A team will have four members. 2 Warriors, 1 Shooter, and 1 Supporter. Unless there are special circumstances, these are the teams until the mid-semester exams. The teams have been evenly mixed with high rank to low rank students."
As he said, four members in team, warriors were usually close range fighter like swordsman, Shooters were the long ranged attacker, and supporters were people like Yoo Jinah and Han Danghoon who attack themselves or support the main attackers.
My role was shooter. Roles were assigned based on the main weapon we chosed, and while I Wasn`t a warrior, I was too lacking to be a shooter. Guns had a much shorter range than bows, and guns were weaker compared to melee weapons that could attack from afar.
[Shooter (long range) –Rank: 3 Lee Sangah, Rank: 10 Seo Youngji… Rank: 920 Kim Hojin...]
"Now, check the teams list, which team you are!" Jin Soohyuk announced.
[Team 1]
[Yoo Jinhyuk / Kim Lang]
[Han Danghoon / Jinah]
[Team 2]
[Deiman / Watson]
[Lee Sangah / goohee]
…
…
[Team 5]
[Shin Hoseung / Hazuki]
[Kim Hojin / Yoo Jinah]
"…"
Looking at my assigned team, I became lost for words.
Yoo Jinah, She`s the korea second top guild, ≺Strait Industry≻ guild leader daughter, and also her family next successor.
In the first half of the novel, she clashes with Yoo Jinhyuk, but she will eventually be influenced by him and become a strong supporter.
That Yoo Jinah was on my team. She was one of the character I loved.
Looking around, I met her eyes. Her purple-jewel like eyes flashed with deep contempt and disdain. By the time I blinked once, the negative feeling in her eyes were gone.
She walkes towards me with a smile. Her long purple hair fluttered with each of her steps. Her beautiful lips moved modestly.
"It`s nice to meet you."
"…"
"Hoseung-ssi."
I know she wasn`t come to speak with me. She was talking to the guy standing behind me.
"Ah, Hello." he said.
"Weren`t we on the same team before?"
She talked too politely for a 17-year old, but that was how Yoo Jinah keep her distance with peoples.
"Ah, yes right, haha."
After exchanging two sentences, Shin Hoseung broke out in a cold sweat.
'Why is she being so formal even though we`re the same team?'
"Ah, hazuki-ssi is coming too." he said.
"Hello…"
Hazuki, A Japanese student. She walked over with eyes that looked like she was about to cry. Yoo Jinah glanced at her slightly displeased, then spoke.
"Who`s the last person?"
"... It`s me."
Yoo Jinah didn`t like who aren`t confident. As such, I stepped up confidently. Hazuki and Shin Hoseung turned towards me first.
Hazuki tilted her head as though she didn`t know who I was.
"Ah, the guy who chose gun as a weapon."
When Shin Hoseung mentioned my previous feat, I checked Yoo Jinah`s expression. Unexpectedly, she didn`t show any emotion. Well more like, she didn`t interest in me.
At that moment, Jin Soohyuk shouted loudly.
"There`s no time for chitchat. You should have gotten the coordinate and information of the monster also sent to your smartwatches. Move quickly!"
A total of 30 teams. Including the other classes that joined in, there was a total of 100 teams.
Our mission was head to the coordinate given to us and kill the monster there.
This test was ranked based on how quickly and how safety we completed our mission.
Wiing—
Yoo Jinah smartwatch rang out. she projected her smartwatch to the air.
[Blackhump Octopus location: 42 ͦ 31' 32"N]
The monster`s name and coordinate were written there.
Yoo Jinah spoke tersely.
"Let`s go. We can talk later."
***
I was running through a field. Beyond this ocean of golden reeds should be the blacklimp octopus.
But running was extremely difficult due to my low physical stats. The sneakers I made last night seemed useless. It`s one hour duration already run out.
In the end, I fell down while running, and the team stopped because of me.
"It`s fine. What important now was we have to kill the monster."
Seeing me gasping for breath on the ground, Shin Hoseung said as he handed me water bottle.
"He`s right. Whether or not we can kill the monster."
Hazuki also consoled me with her mediocre Korean.
I was thankful to author creating good characters like these.
And I was checked Yoo Jinah`s reaction.
She didn`t seem too displeased. She was simply sitting modestly on the ground, reading information about the blackhump octopus on her smartwatch.
I also checked the information with my smartphone.
===
[Blackhump octopus]
—low rank monster
—monster features
*The main body isn`t strong, but numerous little octopuses pop out from the hump on its head. As dozens pop out at once, it isn`t easy to deal with them. Little octopuses can suck human blood and kill in 10 seconds.
—strategy
*Eliminate all little octopuses or kill the blackhump main body.
—weakness
*Blackhump
—strength
*suction cups and little octopuses
===
A through information of the monster come out.
"I`ll deal with the little octopus, while you two take care of the main body."
Soon, Yoo Jinah turned off her smartwatch and said to Hazuki and Shin Haseung.
Ah, I get it now. Yoo Jinah was acting like I didn`t exist. Which was why she didn`t reprimand me or seem displeased.
'This brat.'
"… Let`s go now."
Offended by her treatment, I forced myself to get up. Thanks to my sneakers, after recharged my body has fully recovered.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I`ll go first."
I ran ahead of them. Compared to when I was on earth, I was much quicker.
***
After 30 minutes later. I found myself far behind the other three.
But we found our target monster. A gaint octopus running amok near the beach. There was a black hump was on its that it seem as though it had two heads.
"I`m ready."
Yoo Jinah spoke as she lowered her body in the buches. Shin Hoseung and Hazuki took out their axe and sword.
"When we run at it, little octopus will pop out of its humps. When that happens, the two of you should fall back and be on standby until I kill them all. Warriors need to save their magic power as much as possible. Black hump octopus have high regenerative power, so we need to remove its hump in a single blow…" Yoo Jinah explained.
In reality, It was best option to leave the little octopuses to me. A handgun had a high base power, so it could kill any numer of little octopuses in single blow. On the other hand, it was hard to damage the main body unless a critical hit occurred.
However, Yoo Jinah didn`t say anything to me.
'is she trying to leave me from training?'
"Then let`s start."
The moment her words fell, Shin Hoseung and Hazuki ran up. After closing, Shin Hoseung straightened his throat before roaring.
"Kueeeek"
"Kyak!"
My ears felt burning, but it had the desired effect. The black hump octopus lowered its head after discovering us. Then pointed its cannon-shaped hump towards us.
BOOM!
A explosion rang out, and dozens of little creatures shout out of its hump. Seemingly mushy lumps rained down on us from the sky.
As planned, Shin Hoseung and Hazuki stepped aside, while Yoo Jinah held up her whip, clearly coursing with magic power.
But I held up my handgun before Yoo Jinah could make her move.
"Hey, you don`t have to…" Yoo Jinah tried to stop me, but I ignore her.
Now was the only time I could shine.
[The Bullet Time skill was activated.]
I active bullet time.
Immediately, the blood in my body began to boil. The world time stopped, I could see and predict the movement of the raining little octopuses. They become easier targets than the mole cricket.
There were twenty magic bullets loaded.
I just had to look where I was shooting and pull the trigger. The luck also in effect.
Magic bullets silently cut through the air, leaving behind a blue trace. One bullet for one target, reloading were also instant.
I shot another twenty bullets, then another twenty.
[The Bullet Time skill was deactivated.]
After I shot 79 bullets nonstop, the world also returned to normal.
"..Huh?"
Then Hoseung and Hazuki begin to run at the main body. Yoo Jinah Quickly snapped out, helding her whip, Yoo Jinah`s long whip shot out and grabbed onto the gaint octopus`s hump.
The moment her elegent whip crushed the octopus hump, a single little octopus shot out from the ground.
Kieeek—
Crying voraciously, the little octopus jumped on Yoo Jinah. I fired the last bullet I had in my barrel. Hitting the little octopus, the magic bullet detonated inside and splashed the little octopus blood and mucus on Yoo Jinah.
Before she was covered in mucus, Yoo Jinah calmly spread out her magic power. The mucus from the little octopus fell down after hitting magic power barrier.
"Uk…"
But she couldn`t block everything. Yoo Jinah gave a deathly glare, but she knew now wasn`t the time to complain. She shot out whip towards the octopus once again.
A beast like whip then joined the sword and axe`s dance with tentacles.
