He's Only a D-Rank Trash,Yet He Defeated an SSS-Rank Genius~Manhwa recap

The boy stood at the pinnacle of the world the moment he was born. His father was the first man to ever wield divine power. Known to all as the first awakened, his magic type compatibility score reached an astonishing 97%. Yet Men Jun ultimately chose the marshall path instead. At the time, magic type awakeners were viewed with extreme prejudice. And now as a martial type, all he could do was watch magic Type awakeners bask in the spotlight on TV. Everyone knew that an awakener's growth usually stopped at the age of 20. And for NJ, it was

already too late to change his path. The only job left to him was serving as a human shield in raid teams. Any vague sense of pride he once felt toward the marshall path had long since been crushed by reality. The only consolation was that dungeons sometimes yielded unexpected wealth. Even though such rewards could mean Death at any moment, they were still the last hope keeping low tier awakeners alive. At that moment, the dungeon guard shouted loudly, "Everyone pay attention. We enter in 30 minutes." Before every dungeon run, Minion had a small habit. He would take

out his phone and look at a photo of himself with his mother. After all, once inside the dungeon, no one knew if they would come back alive. Still, this dungeon seemed relatively easy. Their enemies were nothing more Than zombies with no powerful skills. All men Jay Hian had to do was hold his shield and guard his position. As waves of dazzling spells flash past, the zombies ahead were effortlessly wiped out. The party belonged to the Meteor Guild, newly founded yet already famous. Given how things were going, Min Jay Hian believed he would make it out

alive. Soon, only the final boss remained in the dungeon. Taking advantage of the brief break, Min Jay Hyan decided to check their current gains. That was when the system interface glitched for the first time. A searing pain followed immediately after. It turned out that the Assur system, the foundation of human survival, had completely collapsed. In a days, Minjan heard a voice telling him to follow the light. At the same time, alerts kept appearing from the Assur system. It turned out that the Assur system had been infiltrated by an unknown Aberent Entity. Men Jay Yun couldn't

help wondering whether that entity was the very voice he had heard. When he turned around, he found countless points of light appearing out of nowhere. Strangely, no one else seemed able to see these anomalies. It was as if the lights existed for Min Jan alone. And so Min Jan decided to follow them and see where they led. Along the way, he tried countless times to reboot the Assur system. Unfortunately, the system Remained completely offline. This was something that had never happened in the past 17 years. Back then, a colossal tree had suddenly risen from the

Pacific Ocean. It sprouted overnight and in just 9 days grew so vast it blotted out the sky. That tree was none other than the world tree of myth, Idrasil. On the ninth day after the tree fully formed, monsters began appearing across the globe, bringing humanity an unprecedented catastrophe. Half of the World population perished as a result, and then half of the survivors died from famine and disease. It was at that moment that the Assur system emerged, granting humanity divine power and turning people into awakeners. Only then was human civilization able to endure. With the Assur

system, the foundation of human survival, suddenly collapsing, the mysterious voice guided Min Jian to follow the points of light. At the end of those lights stood an ancient Timeworn gate. Men Jay couldn't help but speculate. This might be the legendary treasure gate. According to rumors, it only appeared in highlevel dungeons, hiding chambers filled with unimaginable wealth beyond it. For Min Jay Hyan, this was his one and only chance to change his life. With unease weighing on his heart, he reached out and pushed the gate open. Yet, there were no mountains of treasure as the stories

claimed. The only thing inside the room was a single Or placed at its center. Min Jay Hian had no intention of giving up an opportunity like this. Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and grabbed the orb. The moment Min Jay made contact with it, the Assur system was restored. It turned out to be a mythical grade item, Odin's Lost Eye. Not only could it dismantle and destroy magical calculation constructs, it could also effortlessly copy the skills of others. After all, the highest grade items known To date were only S-rank. A mythical grade item like

Odin's Lost, I was enough to secure Min Jun's life for the rest of his days. He wasn't opposed to the idea of keeping it for himself. But once an awakener passed the age of 20, their level could no longer increase. Even if he used it, the results wouldn't be ideal. Since he had already obtained a treasure, Minion decided it was time to leave. When he returned, he found everyone waiting for him. This time, Minjan buried all his resentment deep inside. If anyone found out he had obtained something valuable in the dungeon, death would be the

only outcome waiting for him. Fortunately, he managed to fool everyone this time. Now, all he had to do was make sure no one grew suspicious about his temporary departure. But just before the final battle began, something went wrong. Massive rocks started crashing down inside the cavern, slamming straight Into the team. Immediately after, a vast cloud of eerie, poisonous mist spread through the area. Many fragile mages collapsed on the spot, overwhelmed by the toxic fog. Menjian was about to warn everyone to retreat from the mist when the man in front of him was suddenly pierced straight

through by a sword. In that instant, Minjan realized there had to be enemies hiding within the poisonous fog. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and fled. After Finally obtaining a mythical grade item, Men Jian had no intention of dying here. The next second, a chain of lightning grazed past him, and the ensuing explosion completely cut off his escape route. Men Jay Yun couldn't help wondering, "Who was this person?" Then a figure stepped out of the darkness and spoke. I knew it, Hung. I knew you'd survive. Min Jay Hian never expected that the one who ambushed

everyone would be Jang Yum. After all, Jang Yum had Always been Min Jian's agent. As an A-rank magic type awakener, Jung Yum had secured him plenty of decent jobs. This dungeon run included. Smiling, Jung Yum said, "Didn't I tell you? I said I'd come see you today." At that moment, Minj Hyan finally understood. The man standing before him was the true culprit behind everything. With a cold expression, he asked, "Was all of this you're doing the poison?" Any attack on the Meteor Guild? Jang Yuman replied Calmly, "That's right. I did all of it, but I

was acting on a client's request. Plenty of people already hate the Meteor Guild, and the way they look down on other guilds makes enemies inevitable." Realizing he was no match for him, Menj Hyan turned away and said, "Jang Yan, I'll pretend I never saw any of this today." Before the words even settled, a chain of lightning lashed toward him again. With a twisted grin, Jung Yuman said, "Hy, the target this time wasn't Just the Meteor Guild." Only then did Min Jay Hyan realize that the agent who had once found him work was actually an assassin

sent to kill him. With his D-rank marshall build, he stood no chance against an A-rank magic type awakener like Jung Yuman. If he'd reacted even a moment slower, he would already be dead. But Jung Yuman had no intention of letting him go. Three chains of lightning shot toward men Jay Hian once more. Relying on his marshall Training, Men Jay Hyan narrowly dodged them again. He couldn't help but wonder who he had offended. badly enough that they would send an A-rank magic type awakener to kill him. Suddenly, a familiar figure surfaced in Min Jin's mind. In

a cold voice, he asked, "Did my father send you?" At those words, Jang Yuman froze. For a moment, he even forgot to continue attacking Min Hyan, who stood right there. Jung Yum's body began to tremble uncontrollably. Then, He burst out laughing. "Your instincts really are sharp, Hong, but that's what I like about you." The laughter made minion think of his mother in that photograph. He spoke again, his voice heavy. One last question. Point five winters ago. Did he give you the same kind of job back then? Jung Yuman said in shock, I can't believe you

figured that out, too. You really are impressive. I honestly can't understand it. What kind of father kills his own Wife first and then turns around and tries to kill his own son? Hung, even you have to admit that's crossing the line. But things have come this far. Farewell, Hyong. At the brink of death, Men Jay Hian finally activated Odin's lost eye. A blinding, overwhelming flash of light erupted beforehand's eyes. He could clearly sense Min Jian's magical power surging at an explosive rate. To prevent any unexpected turbance, Jang Yum decided to stop holding back. This Time,

the chain of lightning shot toward Min Jay Hyan at extreme speed. Just as it was about to strike him. The lightning chain suddenly dissipated in madair. Jung Yuman's eyes widened as he froze in place. Only then did he realize that Minjan had just equipped Odin's lost eye. Using a blank card, Men Jay Hian had successfully copied the lightning chain skill. Minjan said coldly, "Hang, I'll make sure you die in as much pain as possible." As his words Fell, six full chains of lightning manifested behind him. Staring at the scene, Jang Yuman was utterly stunned. This

was a skill he had spent countless hours mastering. Yet now, it had been effortlessly copied and controlled by a D-rank marshall type awakener. In direct combat, Minjan was even suppressing Jung Yuman, an A- rank magic type awakener. Every lightning chain Jang Yuman cast was forcibly dismantled by Min Jay Hyan through absolute calculation. Yet, Jang Yum himself was unable to evade the lightning chains unleashed by Minjan. All he could do was rely on magical barriers to barely withstand the assault. At that moment, Minjan activated absolute calculation once more. With his magic shield stripped away, Jang Yum

could no longer endure the direct strikes of the lightning chains. After finishing Jang Yuman off, Minjun collapsed to the ground as well. The battle had completely drained both His stamina and his mana. The mythical grade item he had only just obtained now seemed destined to leave the world together with him. Then, at that critical moment, a brand new operating system finished downloading. It granted Min Jian a chance to return to the past. With no other option left, Minjian could only comply with the systems execution command. Thus, the Nyell system officially came online. As his consciousness

faded, Minjan thought he Saw angels. Their voices echoed with a chant of some ancient unfamiliar magic. Slowly, they reached out their hands toward him. Without hesitation, Min Jay reached back and took an angel's hand. At that moment, the Nyell system notified Min Jay Hyan that he had become the greatest enemy of the Assur race and that he had acquired two passive skills, divine gaze and absolute eye. When Minjan opened his eyes, he found himself back in a place he knew all too well. He Jolted upright and immediately began scanning his surroundings. That was when he

saw the photo of himself and his mother on the desk. For a moment, Menjay Yan couldn't tell whether all of this was just a dream. But even if everything before him was nothing more than a dying illusion, he was willing to stay in it forever. Because here, his mother, long gone in reality, was still alive. That said, his physical condition had only recovered to 20%. The first mission Issued by the Nyell system was to restore his stamina to 80% with a blank card as the reward. For now, Menjahin's priority was to confirm exactly what point

in time he was in. The moment he picked up the calendar, a smile spread across his face. He had returned to the day before college applications were submitted. This time, he would never repeat the same mistake he had made in his previous life. When it came time to eat, Mjian finally failed to hold back His tears. Scenes that had replayed countless times in his dreams were now unfolding right in front of him. His mother, however, grew worried that something might be troubling him. The usually quiet child had broken down, crying so hard that morning when

she was about to leave. Unable to hold back her concern, she asked, "Minjah, is something bothering you?" Men Jian smiled and replied, "No, I just had a nightmare while I was asleep. A Nightmare I never want to see again. Mom, there's actually something I've been wanting to tell you that I want to change my major to magic." His mother was stunned. After all, Men Jay Hian had always been firmly said on the martial path before. Still, she knew he wouldn't joke about something like this. So, she gently reassured him, "Do what you truly want. Earning

money matters, but what matters more to me is that you live the life you want. Whether you become a mage Or something else, I'll always support you. Men knew this wasn't the time to cry yet. He still had to take revenge on his father, an A-rank awakener. To do that, he needed to complete the missions issued by the non-ele system as soon as possible. After finishing the task, Men Jay Yun obtained another blank card. His current advantage lay in his knowledge of hidden stages and exclusive manuals. However, all of his skills were still marshall-based, so

he decided to check His system interface first. His level had now reverted to level seven, and all of his attributes had been reset. Yet, one thing puzzled him. Why hadn't his passive skills been reset as well? It turned out that due to the effect of divine gaze, his preincarnation passive skills had been preserved. Moreover, every time he leveled up, all of his base attributes would increase by one. As for the other passive skill, Absolute Eye, Min Jay Yun couldn't yet understand What actually did. In the end, he decided to distribute his available stat points first.

For mages, mana was undeniably important, but stamina was actually the real foundation. While stamina didn't directly boost combat power, it drastically slowed the onset of exhaustion. The most urgent question now was which skill to learn next? Because even the strongest offensive magic was useless without enough mana to sustain high tier spells. Given that Reality, the optimal choice was to learn a healing type skill first. At this stage, mages still held a very low social standing, nowhere near the treatment marshall types received. Healing type awakeners, however, were a completely different matter. Wherever they went, they were

treated almost like nobility and welcomed by every kind of team. Once he mastered a healing skill, Men Jian wouldn't be looked down on anywhere he went. The real problem was How to find a healing type awakener in the first place. Just then, Men Jian's phone rang, and he couldn't help wondering who would be calling him at a time like this. The moment he picked it up, he froze. The caller was none other than his childhood friend, Kim Yu Jang. They had grown up together since childhood. They had entered Milan's academy together, both dreaming of becoming

raiders. But in the end, Kim Yu Jang had died in Min Jahin's arms. Fortunately, this time around, Min Jian had a chance to change that fate. Kim Yu Jang was calling to ask him to accompany her to meet the Saints. After all, Saint Lu Shing was the strongest healing type awakener alive today. Her most iconic spell was a magic known as sacrifice. With someone like her in the picture, Minjan no longer needed to seek out any other healing type awakeners. After briefly greeting his mother, Minjan set off without delay. At the same time, Lu Shing

was seated inside a Rolls-Royce on her way to the event venue. Along the way, Parki kept urging her to cut back on these unnecessary appearances. After all, the spell sacrifice didn't consume Lu Shungin's mana. It burned through her very life force. If she kept attending events like this, she might collapse sooner rather than later, unless someone else capable of using sacrifice could be found. Before long, the venue was filled and everyone waited for Lucing in to Appear. Hello everyone. I'm Lu Shingin. Right now, the entire world is facing an unprecedented disaster. The emergence of the

world treedrasil and the monsters that followed has claimed countless lives. At present, fewer than 20% of awakeners are willing to become raiders. Yet, the number of deaths is several times higher than that. The world still stands at a crossroads between survival and extinction, and countless innocent lives are hanging in the balance. What We need now is courage. Awakeners of the world, your courage alone has the power to change everything. For a brighter tomorrow, the Lotus Guild and I will give you our full support. After the speech ended, Minjay Hian found an excuse to part ways

with Kim Yu Jang. His goal was to seize the opportunity to get close to Lu Shung. After some searching, Minjan finally spotted Lu Shings car. He stepped forward and said calmly, "I'm here to see chairwoman Lu Shungan." Parki assumed Minjay Yian was just another overzealous Raider fan. He was about to dismiss him with a few prefuncter words when Men Jay Yan spoke evenly. "I'm not her fan. I know Chairwoman Lucing is suffering from incurable illness and right now I'm the only one who can cure her." The moment he finished speaking, Park Sanangji grabbed Min Jian

by the collar and demanded coldly, "Tell me, how do you know all of this?" Just then, Lu Shing Yin's car window rolled down and she asked calmly, "Can you take responsibility for what you just said?" Men Jian answered without hesitation, "Yes, that I can cure your condition, chairwoman." Seeing how confident he was, Lu Shing Yin decided to believe him for now. Get in the car. There are too many people here. We'll talk somewhere quiet soon. Minjian was brought into a conference room at the Lotus Guild. Lu Shungan asked directly. How did you find Out that

I'm terminally ill? Min Jay Hian replied, "That's not something I can explain freely. If you insist, I can tell you, but if I do, I won't treat you." Lu Shung Yin let out a soft sigh. You're a sharp one. All right, then tell me. How do you plan to cure me? Menjay Yian stated plainly, "I intend to copy your sacrifice skill." The words stunned Lu Shung into silence. Park Sangji finally snapped and stepped forward. Chairwoman, don't listen to this Nonsense. Do you even know what kind of skill sacrifice is? Kid, you're talking out of line.

Sacrifice was Lu Shin's exclusive skill. A unique ability ranked even higher than Srank. one that could only be inherited through bloodline and could not be copied. Men Jay Hian responded calmly. Please relax. If I couldn't do it, I wouldn't be standing here. Lu Shung looked at him and asked, "You're saying you'll use my sacrifice to heal me? If you're going that far, Then prove it to me." As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Shung activated sacrifice. Without a moment's hesitation, Mjay Yun used a blank card to copy the skill. It seems you still don't trust

me, so I'll earn that trust first. As he spoke, Minj Hyan immediately activated the sacrifice skill he had just copied. Because the skill had been obtained through a blank card, its side effects did not apply to Minjan at all. For a moment, both Yon Jian and Parki were left speechless. "All right," Minj Hyan said calmly. "Now we can sit down and talk properly." Yonjian looked at him and asked, "What do you want from our guild?" After all, the ability to cure Yuon Jian alone was enough to put Min Jay Hyan on equal footing with her.

Min Jay Hian answered honestly, "I want you to become my sponsor." You son Jian pondered for a moment before speaking. If you dare to make a request like that, it means You're worth investing in, and you've clearly proven that you have the ability. However, I also have a condition. My illness is a personal matter and has nothing to do with the Lotus Guild itself. But what you're asking for isn't just my personal backing. It's the support of the entire Lotus Guild. We don't help anyone without reason unless you're willing to join the Lotus Guild. Men

had expected strict limitations, but instead received An outright invitation. Yonjian continued, "Don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who jokes about matters like this. There are several reasons why I want you to join our guild. First, you somehow knew that I, the chairwoman of the Lotus Guild, am suffering from a chronic illness. Without exceptional intelligence gathering capabilities, it would be impossible to know something that confidential. Second, you were able to perfectly replicate my sacrifice Skill. To this day, no one has ever managed to copy an exclusive skill. Your future holds limitless potential. Third, you're

standing in front of me right now without the slightest hint of nervousness. A kid who can remain this calm before the chairwoman of the Lotus Guild. That alone makes you incredibly compelling. Do you think those reasons are enough for me to recruit you? Hearing this, Men Jay Hyan couldn't help recalling his past life. The Lotus Guild Had once been among the strongest guilds in the nation. Yet after Lu Shingin fell critically ill, it collapsed with shocking speed due to unknown reasons. If he joined the Lotus Guild now, he would undoubtedly receive top tier treatment and

resources for growth. Joining a guild was practically unavoidable. After some thought, Minjan voiced another concern. I'm still a minor. Isn't it illegal to sign a guild contract with an underage student? Lucing replied, "Have you heard of the right of first negotiation? Just give me your address, but I'll have the contract delivered to your home so you can think it over carefully before deciding." Men Hyan stood up immediately, then let me treat you first. As he spoke, he moved behind Lu Shung. Parks heart was pounding with tension. For Lu Shin's illness, he had sought out countless

healing type awakeners. Even experts who had devoted their entire lives to Medicine were powerless. Now his final hope rested entirely on Min Jay Yian. To his astonishment, Lu Shung Yin's condition began improving at a visible rate. Park Xangji bowed deeply at once. I sincerely apologize for earlier. Chairwoman, you is in your hands. Men Jay Hyan waved it off. It's fine if I were you. I wouldn't believe a kid that easily either. After the treatment concluded, Min Jin's passive skill, emergency healing, successfully rose to Level 19. Under the gaze of the two men, Lu Shungin slowly

walked to the window. She looked down at her body, now brimming with renewed vitality. Crystal clear tears slid from the corner of her eyes. The illness that plagued me for so many years, it's really gone. Thank you. But after curing me, you should be affected by side effects, shouldn't you? Men Jay Hian replied with a smile. I'm fine. When the time comes, you can just heal me again, chairwoman. Lu Shing Yin Answered without hesitation. Of course, that I can heal you anytime. She handed him her business card. I'll do my best to meet any conditions

you ask for, and I also hope you'll think carefully about what we discussed earlier. Looking at the card in his hand, Men Hyan raised his head. Chairwoman, there is something I'd like to ask of you right now. Early the next morning, Park Sangji personally drove over to pick Men Jay Hun up. It turned out Men Jay Hyan wanted to use The Lotus Guild's low-level dungeons to raise his level quickly. After all, Milan's Academy was a place where countless geniuses gathered. To survive there, leveling up was unavoidable. For this raid, the Lotus Guild prepared a fair

amount of supplies for Minjan. However, due to the tight schedule, they could only provide some surplus guild equipment for now. Even so, Parki was still worried about Minjin's safety. After all, even an E-rank dungeon was Dangerous for someone going in alone. Min Jay Hian explained, "Don't worry, I'm just trying to level up." Left with no choice, Parkangji opened his system interface. He took out a teleport stone and said solemnly, "Take this." It will ensure your safety. Crush it and you'll be returned to the dungeon entrance immediately. That if you run into danger, use it right

away. Please accept it. Consider my apology for yesterday's rudeness. Also, please consider this a Small token of thanks for curing the chairwoman. With Parkangji putting it that way, Men Jay Hian found it hard to refuse and accepted it. The moment he arrived at the dungeon entrance, he felt a surge of mana spilling out from within. Judging by that alone, this was indeed an earrank dungeon. A dungeon of this level posed no real problem for him. From behind, Park Sangi reminded him once again, "Remember, if you run into danger, use the teleport stone Immediately." Yet, the

instant men Jay Hyan stepped inside the dungeon, he sensed a violent disturbance in the surrounding mana. Several claws formed from condensed mana suddenly appeared and bound him in place. Before he could even process what was happening, a system notification rang out. Due to the influence of the non-ele system, the user would be transported to a designated location. In the next moment, Min Jay Hyan was forcibly sent to Helheim, the realm of the dead. Meanwhile, back at the Lotus Guild, Lu Shingin was growing worried about Min Jan taking on a dungeon alone. After all, even an

E-rank dungeon was nearly impossible for a pre-raider to clear solo, and Min Jay Hyan hadn't even fully matured yet. Still, recalling the abilities he had shown earlier, she managed to ease her worries somewhat. Just then, her secretary, Park Hannah, walked in, handing over a folder. She Said, "This contains all of Min Jiann's personal information." Lucing in took the documents and began reading through them carefully. Very quickly, she was stunned. Someone capable of wielding such powerful magic had actually listed Marshall Type as his chosen major. Before long, Lu Shung Yin froze in place. She even began

to question the authenticity of the report. Min Jay Hian's magic aptitude score was an astonishing 97%. She immediately called Parkangji. Aa if Men Jay Hyan makes it out of the dungeon, she ordered, "Tell him to come see me right away. I want to personally confirm what that kid is truly capable of." Meanwhile, Men Jay Hyan, having been transported by the Nyell system, stood within the realm of the dead.1 glance at his surroundings, told him this was absolutely not an earrank dungeon. Just as he began surveying the area, a blackroed figure concealed within the fog. Slowly

raised A bow. In the next instant, a pitch black arrow shot straight toward Minjay Yan. Sensing the attack, he twisted his head aside and narrowly avoided it. He immediately turned toward the direction the arrow had come from. There, the blackroed archer calmly drew another arrow from the quiver. The bow was raised once more, aimed directly at Minjan. Before the arrow could be released, Minjan activated sacrifice, healing his own injuries. At that Moment, a hand suddenly burst out of the ground. At the same time, a ghost had appeared behind Minjian without him even noticing. In an

instant, three completely different types of monsters surrounded him. And right then, another arrow from the black robe figure came flying straight toward him. This time, Men Jay Hian calmly drew his sword into his hand. Even so, defeating all of these enemies would be anything but easy. Sacrifice was devastating against Undead creatures, but the higher its level, the greater the mana cost. If he encountered even stronger monsters later, his situation would become extremely dangerous. Because of that, he had no choice but to rely on the combat experience he'd accumulated as a marshall fighter in his previous

life. His understanding of mage combat was still limited, and these enemies were the perfect chance to use real battle as practice. Perhaps due to the level gap, Minjan realized that these monsters weren't as overwhelming as he'd expected. Even with his current strength, he could still handle the situation with ease. Gripping his staff, he charged straight forward. With a brutal swing, he smashed it directly into the black robed man's forehead. That single strike, however, shattered his staff completely. At the same moment, the side wielding ghost and the ghoul's swordsmen rushed in together. Left with no other

option, Minjan activated sacrifice once more to counterattack. In almost an instant, both monsters were reduced to ashes within the holy light. The massive mana drain caused Min Jay Hyan to collapse to the ground. If he hadn't leveled up at that exact moment, his situation would have been truly perilous. He knew very well that his current strength wasn't enough to clear this dungeon. Just as he was about to teleport away, a bone Chilling dread suddenly washed over him. Minjay Yan could clearly sense that something was closing in. The sheer pressure of that presence made it hard

for him to even breathe. He stabbed his staff into his own thigh, forcing himself to regain a shred of clarity. At that moment, he noticed a shadow suddenly appear on the ground. Min Jay Hyan turned around sharply. Standing there was the dungeon's demon king. Nightshade system alert. The level Difference between the user and the demon king is too great. Entering critical danger state. Please evacuate the dungeon immediately. Men Jian knew he had no chance of fighting the demon king headon. He instantly opened his system storage and pulled out the teleportation stone. But the moment it

appeared, the demon king's overwhelming pressure reached his back, pinning him in place. As the demon king unleashed its attack, Minjan was blasted away. He Was now critically injured, his HP plunging into the danger zone. Before that absolute power, he didn't even have the chance to activate the teleportation stone. Men Jan slowly closed his eyes, prepared to accept his fate. Yet when he opened them again, time itself had stopped. Suddenly, a voice echoed from the distance. "No, you can't do that." A woman stepped out from the void, continuing calmly. "That kid was brought here by me

personally. He's a Distinguished guest, chosen by fate to become a rebel." Men Jay Yun couldn't help but wonder who the woman in front of him really was. At the same time, she was carefully examining him. So, this is the kid who took down other rebels. just a green horn, average bones, nothing remarkable. His mana reserves weren't bad, but standing against the gods, he was still far from it. She couldn't understand why Loki would choose a kid like him. Meanwhile, blood loss was Slowly clouding Men Jin's consciousness, but his revenge was still unfinished. He absolutely couldn't

fall here. Looking into his unwavering eyes, she spoke calmly. I do like that look in your eyes. That said, you're still far too weak and time is running out. You need to grow stronger and fast. If you fail to do so before hell descends again, I'll erase you myself. Your existence is important to us, so I'll grant you one more chance. Use it well. Become Stronger than you are now. Then come back and defeat the demon king, Nightshade, standing before you. If you succeed, I'll give you a very special reward. But you only have two

months. Fail and you know exactly what awaits you. Just like that, Minjan was forced to accept hell's task. Her final words were cold and absolute. Remember, if I don't see growth from you during this time, I'll personally send you to the underworld. Good luck, child chosen by Norner. When Min Jay Yun opened his eyes again, he found himself back at the dungeon entrance. All of his injuries had been miraculously healed. Yet the quest log inside the Niel system made one thing clear. Everything that had just happened was real. The woman he encountered was none other

than hell. The death goddess who ruled over the nine worlds. Men Jay Hyan still couldn't fully make sense of her words. But one thing was absolutely certain. He had to Grow stronger fast. If what Hell said was true, then the moment he stopped moving forward, he'd be erased without hesitation. Defeating the demon king Nightshade within two months, however, was no simple task. At his current level, he wasn't even familiar with how a true mage was supposed to fight. To build a solid foundation, the best option was gaining support from Lotus Guild and Lu Shung. Just

then, Park J beat him to it, scheduling a meeting With Lu Shung for the next day. Early the following morning, Park J brought Min Jay Hian to the Lotus Guild. Min Jay Hyan had a strong suspicion they had likely seen his awakening evaluation report. Despite possessing near-perfect magic affinity, he had chosen the Marshall path instead. The reason was simple. Media outlets had relentlessly praised Marshall awakeners. While magic users were painted as useless, leaving him with little reason to choose Otherwise. Before long, the two of them arrived at the training grounds of the Lotus Guild. The

moment Men Jay Hyian saw Lu Shing Yin. He froze for a brief second. Lu Shing Yin smiled and said, "You finally made it that I've been waiting for you. What do you think about the contract terms? I believe the conditions I offered are fairly generous. In truth, the terms Lu Shing offered were overwhelmingly in Men Jian's favor. Benefits comparable to or Even better than what most A- rank raiders received." Men Jian replied without hesitation. I already told manager Park before signing with you. I have one additional request. Lucian wasn't surprised at all. She smiled calmly.

That's fine. I go ahead. What is it? Min Jay Hyan continued. Before I say it, I'm sure you've already reviewed my profile that I switched from the marshall path to magic less than a month ago. So, I'm still unfamiliar with how Magic is truly meant to be used. Chairwoman Lu, I want you to personally teach me magic. After all, Lu Shung Yin was one of the very few S-rank raiders in the world. Standing beside them, Park J never expected Min Hyan to make such a bold request. Men Jay Yan added seriously, "If you can't accept

this condition, then I'll sign the priority negotiation contract with the Lotus Guild." Lu Shung Yin chuckled softly. "That's a rather interesting request. I Can agree to it. After all, I do find you quite intriguing. But before that, I'd like to confirm your actual capabilities. You don't mind, do you? Men Jay Hyan had anticipated this from the start. Given how favorable the offer was, it was only natural for the Lotus Guild to test his strength first. From Lu Shen Yin's expression, Park Sanungj immediately understood her intent. Another serious trial was about to begin. luching in snapped

her finger Softly. A vast surge of mana erupted from behind her. As you can see, she said, "This is the mana cube. From this moment on, your task is to conquer it." The mana cube was normally used only by B- rank and above magic type raiders to test mana resonance, and fewer than 7% ever succeeded. Looking at men, luing continued, "Perfect for showing your true strength. Don't you think if someone is worthy of a priority negotiation contract with the Lotus Guild, they should at least reach this level? Men Jian replied calmly. Sounds like you're trying

to take the edge off my confidence. Lu Shingin smiled faintly. Why would I? Even if you fail, I'll still sign a contract with you. Under the same terms, I guarantee that is the chairwoman of the Lotus Guild. She then turned to Park Sunj. Sunj make the preparations. Park Sunj hesitated. Chairwoman, even most magic type raiders struggle with a mana cube. Mr. Min Hasn't fully matured yet. Lucing in asked calmly. Do you really think the child standing before us is ordinary? Relaxed. He's worth the attempt. With that, Park Sanungj activated the mana cube for Minjan. Min

Jay Hian had heard of the manicube in his previous life, but seeing it in person was still deeply shocking. Lu Shang Yin encouraged him gently, "Whenever you're ready, begin. I'm looking forward to your results." Under their watchful gazes, "Men Jay Hyun slowly stepped into the manicube." Hark Sunj murmured, "To be honest, I'm still worried. I understand your curiosity, chairwoman, but he's still just a kid." Lu Shing answered without hesitation. Trust me, the hill succeed. Park Sanung J asked puzzled. Why are you so sure? Lu Shing smiled softly. A woman's intuition perhaps. Her eyes remained fixed

on the mana cube. Let's see how long it takes you to escape from inside. Inside the mana cube with a mere 7% success rate. Lay a vast ocean formed entirely of condensed mana. Mana is essential for using skills, but remaining in an area with excessively high mana density for too long can rapidly impair the heart and lungs, sometimes even proving fatal. There was only one way to escape this place. He had to locate the single exit connecting to the outside world, hidden among countless mana vortices. Men Jay Hyan forced himself to calm down and began

Carefully sensing the fluctuations in the surrounding mana. Soon he noticed something unusual within one of the vortices ahead. When he moved closer, he realized it was a crystal. It felt as though it carried the core mana of the entire ocean. Meanwhile, outside the cube, Park J spoke quietly. Judging by your expression, it seems you're confident Men Jay Hian will make it out. How long do you think it'll take him? Lu Shingan answered calmly. It took me 40 Minutes back then and that was the fastest record nationwide. Hearing this, Park Sanungj understood immediately. Then there are

only two possibilities. Either he gets trapped inside the mana cube or he sets a brand new record. Lu Shung nodded and I don't think Min Jay Hian will crawl out in a miserable state. But in the very next second, her eyes widened in shock. Sunj look over there at her words. Park Sanungj immediately turned his gaze toward the Mana cube. It turned out that the mana cube was already showing clear signs of structural collapse. Outside, the two of them exchanged stunned looks. After all, only 10 minutes had passed since Men Jian entered the cube. They

couldn't help but wonder what on earth he had experienced inside. Meanwhile, inside the cube, the moment Min Jay Hyan discovered the crystal, he instinctively knew it was the key to clearing the mana cube. Without hesitation, he grabbed the Crystal in his hand. As it shattered under his grip, the vast ocean formed entirely of mana collapsed in an instant. At the same time, Minjan acquired a brand new passive skill, essence of Mana Mastery. What happened next left the two people outside utterly stunned. The mana cube had a mere 7% escape rate and most who succeeded took

over 3 hours on average. Even the S-rank raider Lucing in had needed nearly 40 minutes while the fastest record holder Camila cleared it in 36. Yet now that record had been completely shattered by Men Jon. He had beaten the world record by a full 26 minutes. Park Sunj rushed forward and grabbed Menjain's hand, exclaiming, "Unbelievable. You did it in just 10 minutes." Lucian immediately stepped closer and asked, "Seriously, Mr. Min Jay Hyan, may I ask, how did you escape the mana cube so quickly?" Men Jay Hyan answered honestly, "I found a crystal inside. After I

broke it, I was Out." Lu Shing grabbed his hand in excitement and pressed him urgently. What? You shattered it. You actually broke the crystal. That crystal contained all the mana within the mana cube. In ordinary awakener couldn't even locate it, let alone destroy it, which meant that the mana inside Mini's body was even more powerful than the mana crystal itself. Smiling brightly, Luing said, "Mr. Min Jay Hyan, Congratulations. You've passed the test. From today onward, I'll stake the future of the Lotus Guild and my own reputation on turning you into the greatest mage in the

world. Are you ready? The scene shifted. Kim Yuyong was waiting outside with Min Jian's mother for him to come home. At that moment, a Rolls-Royce slowly pulled up in front of them. The next second, Min Jay Hian stepped out of the car. For a brief moment, neither of them could believe what they were Seeing. They even started wondering whether Men Jay Hian had been taken in by some rich woman. Combined with his recent string of unusual behavior, Kim Yuyongs doubts only grew stronger. Not only had he once stepped out of a mysterious luxury car, he

had also abandoned the martial combat path he'd clung to for years. Although Min Jay Hian claimed he switched to magic because he wasn't suited for martial combat. Kim Yu Yong, who knew him Extremely well, didn't believe that explanation at all. After all, Men Jay Hyan had originally chosen martial combat so his mother wouldn't have to suffer anymore. Men Jay Yun cut her off. That's enough that let's stop talking about this. By the way, why are you at my place? Are your parents away on another business trip? Kim Yuyong replied, "Yet that's why I came to

hang out with you." Annie said I could stay here for the night before leaving. After All, Kim Yong was a bonafide rich kid. Her parents sold magical products to countries all over the world, so they were constantly traveling overseas on business. Because of that, Kim Yuyong often ended up home alone. And since Menjians mother was very close to her parents, Kimyong frequently stayed over at Menj Hun's place. Men Jay Hyan then asked, "Since you're staying here anyway, how about using this chance to teach me some basic magic theory?" Kim Yong shot back, "What you want

me to teach you for free?" Men Jay Yian countered, "What do you want in return? Say it first, then I'll decide if I can agree." Kim Yuyong paused to think seriously. Now that you mention it, I actually haven't decided yet. How about this? Help me fulfill one wish. And no matter what I wish for, you have to help me make it happen. Men Jay Hian replied, "Fine, but the promise only lasts for one year. If you don't make your wish Within that year, it's void." Kim Yu Yong pouted. "You're so stingy. Fine, deal." Only then

did Min Jay Hian relaxed. He knew Kim Yong wasn't exactly great at remembering things. Give it a year and she'd probably forget all about it. Seeing the sly grin on Min Ji Hians face, Kim Hyun grabbed a pillow beside her and hurled it straight at him. In the past, Minjun would have fired right back without hesitation. But after everything he'd been through, this Quiet, warm, everyday moment felt unexpectedly precious to him. At the same time, a powerful raider was clearing a dungeon. Monster corpses were already piled high at his feet. That man was none other

than Men Jin's father. Min Son Wu, a raider beside him, said, "Thanks to you, we cleared that monster with ease. It's been a long time since a hunt went this smoothly. If you joined our guild, we'd be even stronger. Would you consider joining us?" With your Ability, the Scarlet Guild would definitely offer you the best treatment. The next instant, however, the man felt a terrifying presence erupt from Men's Sung Wu. Men's Sun Wu slowly turned around, his eyes hollow and empty, while the raider found himself bound tightly by invisible chains. Men Wu said coldly, "Filthy

and shameless, overflowing with despicable greed. I suppose this truly is human nature." No, it's not limited to humans alone. After men, Son Wu Vanished. The man lost all memory of what had just happened. The scene shifted back to the Lotus Guild that on the first day after Men Jay Hyan signed the agreement, Lu Shung Yin decided to test his combat sense and instincts. The method of testing was simple live combat against her. Cold sweat beated on Min Jiian's forehead, starting with real combat right away. Isn't that a bit too much? Lu Shing Yen smiled. That

doesn't really sound like something you should Be saying that you're the one who escaped the cube in just 10 minutes. Come on, make your move. Minjay Hyan said nothing and took a fighting stance. Lu Shung Yin recognized it instantly. A textbook martial type opening. Minjun stepped in and threw a powerful straight punch. To his surprise, Lucing caught it with ease. He hadn't expected his attack to be completely shut down. After all, Lucing was a magic typewriter. When a strike failed, he quickly pulled back to Create distance. Lu Shung Yin said bluntly, "You still haven't figured

something out that you're no longer the marshall type fighter you used to be. So tell me, what do you think is the biggest difference between marshall types and mages?" Men Jay Hian answered, "Marshall types fight up close. Mages fight from range." Lucian nodded. That's right. Traditionally, magic type raiders weaken their enemies from a distance before committing to the fight. It's the Safest and most reliable approach, but you keep trying to close in. For a mage with low defenses, that's a fast way to get taken out. What you're lacking right now is real combat experience as

a mage. Lucing in said, "From now on, I'll be attacking you as well, but don't worry, I won't seriously injure you. After all, I'm a healer. I know that wasn't your real strength just now. Now, let me see what you're truly capable of. Before the words had even faded, Lucing's attack Shot straight toward Minion, relying purely on instinct, Minjan barely managed to dodge it. All right, now it's your turn to attack. A crackle of electricity suddenly flared around Minjay Yan. In an instant, three lightning chains lashed out toward Lu Shung Yin. Yet, she remained perfectly

still. At that distance, there was no way she should have been able to evade the strike. And yet, the next moment, she appeared behind him. So, it's a rank Lightning chains that you've been hiding quite a lot. Immediately after, her counterattack was already upon him. No matter how powerful a skill is, it's meaningless if it doesn't suit its user. Still, you've genuinely surprised me. I deliberately tone the spell down, yet you're still standing. So, tell me, can you handle this one? In Lu Shin's judgment, Men Jay Hian's current condition left him no chance of dodging

the next attack. But for the sake of Instruction, she released the skill without hesitation. Unexpectedly, her sacred arrow dissipated in Madair. Before her attack could even reach him, Menjay Hian had already activated absolute calculation, shattering her spell midcast. Lucing stared at the scene in disbelief. "You really never stopped surprising me," she said quietly. "Just how many more surprises are you hiding?" Men Jay Hian grinned. "Hard to say. Who knows?" The moment his Words fell, a lightning chain burst violently from ground. Lu Shung reacted instantly, throwing up a barrier that barely blocked the strike. Even so,

the impact left her arm trembling. Before she could counterattack, several more lightning chains materialized behind Minjay Yan. Only then did she realize something terrifying. He didn't seem to need incantations to cast his skills at all. That was far beyond what a novice magic type awakener should be capable Of. At the same time, Mjins mana reserves were nearly exhausted. "You really are gifted," Lu Shung Yin said calmly. "But you're still too raw." Before Mjian could even process what happened, he was already on the ground. "You didn't actually think you could beat me, did you?" Despite her

words, Lu Shung Y-in immediately reached down and pulled him back to his feet. That battle made men Jay Hian fully aware of the gap between himself and an Srank. yet to Lose Shung Yin. What she saw in him was limitless potential. Your fighting style just gave me an idea, she said. One that everyone has considered, but no one has ever pulled off. Only you can use it. From now on, call me your teacher. Congratulations. You're my first disciple. When Min Jay Hian returned home, the battle still replayed endlessly in his mind. Beside him, Kim Yuyong

snapped. Hey, Min Jay Hyan, are you even listening to me? If you keep Spacing out like this, I'm not tutoring you anymore. Now that you're back with us, let's get to the point. There were countless branches of magic, but only three truly mattered. Combat magic, buff magic, and healing magic. As Min Jay Hian's understanding of magic deepened, the Nyell system began triggering pop-up notifications more and more frequently. It felt as if the system itself was urging him to grow faster. Kim Yu Yongside, "You're seriously impressive. Spells that take others a whole month to learn. You

master them in just 2 days." Men Jay Hian replied casually, "So what? You learn them in 3 days, too." Kim Yongs eyes reened slightly as her emotions surfaced. I started learning magic a long time ago, but your growth rate really makes me anxious to achieve this pace. It's only a matter of time before you catch up to me. What she didn't know was that Minjan was even more anxious than she was. After all, he Had already wagered his life against the goddess of death. Himyong continued, "Do you have any idea how shocked I was when

you decided to switch to the martial type path? Even if the magic type doesn't pay as well, you shouldn't have ignored such an absurdly high compatibility." The instant Men Jay Hyan turned his head, countless chains seemed to flood his vision. A man slowly emerged behind him. Step by step, the man walked up and stopped in front of Minjian. He leaned down and whispered something into Min Jian's ear. In the next moment, Minjay Yun snapped back to reality, only to hear Kim Yong still talking. By the way, you have been practicing real combat techniques, too, right?

While dealing with Kim Yong, Mjian replayed everything that had just happened in his mind. The strange encounter refused to fade. He couldn't tell whether what he saw had been an illusion or not, only that he had heard Something deeply unsettling. But Minjan had no time to dwell on it now. He had only 2 months left unless he could obtain some kind of miracle that would shatter the current deadlock. Elsewhere, Parki was patrolling the training grounds of the Lotus Guild. His job was to identify problems among new recruits and correct them before they took root. When

Lu Shing arrived, Parkangji immediately stepped forward to report on the day's training. Yet, Lu Shang Yin Seemed distracted the entire time. You're thinking about Min Jay Yun, aren't you? Lu Shung Yan smiled faintly. As expected, nothing gets past you. Park Xang Ji continued, "If I remember correctly, the thing you intend to entrust to Min Jian, it's something countless raiders have challenged before, yet not a single one has ever succeeded." Lu Shingan replied calmly, "You've seen his talent for yourself, haven't you? If the magic type ever Produces a new S-rank raider, it will be him. And

when that happens, he'll completely reshape the future of the magic type. The scene shifted. Men Jay Hyan was carefully attempting to refine a pill. His expression grim, even though he already knew the formula, the result he produced by following it step by step was nothing short of poison. The truth was that this pill wouldn't be successfully created until 5 years later. And the genius alchemist who had Invented, Lee Jang, a man whose creation boosted mana capacity and saved all of humanity, had chosen to release the formula to the public without conditions. Also, he could help

hunters around the world. Left with no other choice, Men Jay Hyan decided he had to meet the present-day Lee Jang in person. Perhaps with his talent, the pill could be completed ahead of time. By the current timeline, Lie Jang should still be a firstear student at Milan's Academy. With that in mind, Min Jay Hian prepared to head there overnight. At the station, the ticket clerk looked up and asked, "Where are you headed?" "One ticket to Teu, please." Min Jay Hian replied, "Due to rampant monster activity, Teu was currently under lockdown. Monsters had overrun the entire

city. Entering it meant risking one's life the instant you stepped inside. Under such circumstances, there was only one reason someone would still Travel to Teu. They were a student of Milan's academy. Before long, Men Jian arrived at the academy grounds. Years later, walking through the familiar campus again, he felt nostalgia at all. This place had brought him nothing but suffering during his youth. For now, however, his priority was finding Lee Jang. Lee Jang's father was the nation's first S-rank raider. Growing up beneath such a brilliant shadow, expectations had always weighed heavily on him. As a

Result, Lee Jang had been assigned to the marshall type path. But his actual combat ability was far from outstanding, which meant that someone who hated fighting like him likely wouldn't be found at the training grounds. Just as Minjay Yan was about to try his luck in a classroom, a loud commotion suddenly broke out nearby. From the whispers of the onlookers, he quickly learned that a stuttering student was being bullied. Memories of his own past surfaced, and Min Jay Hyan decided to step into the mess. With a bit of force, he pushed his way through the

crowd. Without hesitation, he opened the classroom door in front of him. At that exact moment, someone slammed straight into him. Realizing he had bumped into someone, the stuttering boy hurriedly apologized. Seeing this, a yellow-haired student sneered. Who are you? What do you want with our little stutterer? And the so-called little stutterer was none Other than Lee Jang. Min Jay Hyan asked instinctively. Are you okay, Hang? Lee Jang froze, clearly confused by the stranger's concern. The yellow-haired student laughed mockingly. Oh, since did the stutterer have a little brother? You two don't look alike at all. Never

heard him mention family. I figure they were all eaten by monsters already. We've got important business here, he said as he reached out to shove Min Jun away. If you don't want to see something ugly, Get lost before he could finish. Men Jay Hyan slapped his hand aside. He then turned to Li J Sang and said firmly, "You should go to the infirmary." Being completely ignored, the yellow-haired student snapped, grabbing Min Jian by the collar. Are you blind? I'm talking to the stutterer. You looking to die? Men Jian glanced at the hand, clutching his collar,

and spoke coldly. That's the second time you've touched me. Why do people keep grabbing my collar lately? As he spoke, Mini Hian recalled the magic theory Kim Yu Yong had taught him. Then he mirrored the way Lu Shang Yin released her skills. In the next instant, a sacred arrow formed and slammed straight into the yellow-haired student. Wincing in pain, the yellow-haired student swung his sword straight at Minjay Yan. But in the very next instant, the blade was violently knocked away. It turned out Men Jay Hyan had just activated a magic field. Before The yellow-haired student

could react, Minjan grabbed him by the face. His expression turned icy. This ends now. Another sacred arrow struck, knocking the yellow-haired student unconscious on the spot, seeing that his opponent was already incapacitated. Men Jay Hyan chose not to escalate things further and instead pulled out a potion to treat his injuries. The moment Lee Jang saw the potion, panic flashed across his face. As the liquid was poured over the Yellow-haired student's face, his wounds visibly began to heal. After that, Minjay Hyan turned to Li J saying. We should head to the infirmary now. Despite his words,

the direction he walked in clearly wasn't toward the infirmary. He stopped in a secluded area nearby. There shouldn't be anyone around here. And no matter what we say, no one will hear us. Lie Jang instinctively assumed Minion had been sent by his father. Even though Menjay Yun claimed He didn't know his father, the doubt in Li Jangs eyes made it clear he didn't believe him, he finally asked, "Why did you come looking for me?" Men Jay Yun answered calmly. There's something I want to ask of you. I want you to help me make a certain

kind of drug. Lie Jang waved his hands frantically. I'm not making that kind of thing. Men Jay Hyan pressed him. Aren't you good, Alchemy? You're the one selling this drug on the black market, aren't you? Lee Jang Froze. Black market dealings were supposed to be completely anonymous. Yet, the person standing in front of him had tracked him down anyway. Lie Jang's mind was in turmoil. Who exactly was this person? And how had he tracked him down? Men Jay Hian pressed again. You made this drug, didn't you? Lee Jang grew visibly flustered. I I don't know

what you're talking about. Deep down, he was already regretting ever listing that potion on the black market. He had Thought the transaction was flawless. Now, it had turned into leverage hanging over his head. Finally, he pleaded in a low voice, "Please don't tell anyone about this." Men Yian replied calmly, "I'm not here to threaten you." As he spoke, he handed the potion to Lee J, saying, "I just need a truly capable alchemist to help me create the drug I need." Looking into Min Jiann's sincere eyes, Lie Jang realized he wasn't lying. After a brief silence,

he asked, "Then Who are you really?" Min Jay Hian answered honestly. I'm an incoming student at Milan's Academy. My name is Min Jian. Lie Jang thought for a moment before saying, "All right, tell me exactly what you want." Soon after, the two arrived at Lee Jangs workshop. Lee Jang asked, "What kind of drug do you want me to make?" Min Jay Hian answered without hesitation. A pill that can permanently increase mana capacity. Lee Jang was stunned. Permanent enhancement? That's impossible. But in the very next moment, his mind kicked into overdrive as he began analyzing the

required materials. Men Jay Hian noticed the change immediately. The stutter was gone. And with nothing but the requirement, Lee Jang was already deducing most of the core ingredients. Just then, Lee Jang stopped thinking altogether and said dejectedly, "A drug this powerful, you should ask another alchemist." Men Jay Hyan answered Without hesitation, "I only want to ask you that I'll provide everything you need." He knew full well that even with a complete formula, most alchemists still wouldn't be able to create that pill. Lie Jang possessed a talent no other alchemist could match. Still, Lie Jang lacked

confidence. I understand, but I can't guarantee it'll succeed. Min Jay Hian replied immediately. That's fine. Failure is fine, too. Lee Jang asked confused. But if it fails, won't You suffer a loss? Men Jian explained calmly. I'm willing to trust your ability, and investments always come with risk, don't they? Hearing this, Lee Jang's eyes welled with tears. It was the first time anyone had ever trusted him so completely. From the day he was born, he had always lived under his father's shadow. Compared to his brothers, he had never shown outstanding combat talent. Because of that, he

had never earned his father's approval. That Was why Mjahian's trust struck so deeply at his heart. As the days passed, Minjan grew increasingly familiar with a mage's fighting style. Now, he was no longer easily defeated by Lu Shan. At times, he could even gain the upper hand in battle. On occasion, he could last the entire time limit without losing to her. Even so, Minjan still couldn't be certain he could defeat the demon king Nightshade. Before setting out, he would see Li Jang once more. And Li Jang did Not disappoint. He successfully completed the pill. After

Min Jian swallowed the pill, his mana increased by 15 points. Men Jay Hyan said happily, "See, I told you, you really are talented." Li Jang replied shily, "That's only because you trusted me." Seeing how exhausted he looked, Mjian added, "Get some rest. You look like you haven't slept in days." Lie Jang rubbed his tired eyes and said, "If you ever need anything again, come find me." After a brief exchange, Menjay Yun left Lie Jangs workshop. Tomorrow would be the day he had promised the goddess of death. At that moment, hell spoke softly, "I have a

feeling we're about to receive a very special guest." Early the next morning, Men Jian arrived at the dungeon gate once more. Once everything was ready, Park Siangji opened the dungeon entrance. And just like that, Men Jay Yun entered the dungeon alone again. With his previous experience, the Teleportation this time caused him no panic at all. Soon, he arrived at the realm of the dead. As long as he could defeat the demon king, Nightshade, he would uncover the truth behind his rebirth. At that moment, a cold glow flickered in the distance. It turned out to be

a skeletal archer. its bow fully drawn, the arrow locked squarely onto Men Jan. But the current Min Jay Hyan was nothing like before. He had mastered combat techniques from two different Class paths. Normally, someone like that would lose in close combat to marshall types and fall short at long range compared to magic types. Caught between the two, such fighters were usually considered unfocused and inefficient. Yet Lu Shung Yin firmly believed that if that person was Min Jay Hian, the rules no longer applied. Meanwhile, outside the dungeon, Park Sangji was quietly waiting for updates. Suddenly, he

sensed an unfamiliar presence. Almost Instinctively, Park Sangi tightened his grip on his weapon. A red car pulled up nearby and a young woman stepped out smiling. So, this is where you would have been looking everywhere for you. The newcomer was Yanju Parkangji's junior from his university days. Seeing a familiar face, Parkangji let out a small sigh of relief. After all, they hadn't kept in touch since graduation, and her appearance here was unexpected. Yanju asked curiously, "Are you the one In charge of this dungeon? That strange dungeon management shouldn't fall under your responsibilities, should it?" She

paused, then lowered her voice. There's something I've always wondered. Are the rumors about chairwoman Lu Shung Yen's poor health actually true? Park Sanji's expression hardened immediately. Of course, that's not true. Yanju, where did you hear such rumors? Yanja shrugged. A lot of people are saying it. Our correct guild has plenty of ways to Gather information. At that moment, Park Sangi realized something alarming. The Lotus Guild had already been infiltrated. Thanks for letting me know, he said Looks like I'll be busy once I get back. Yanja then pulled out her phone and showed him a photo.

One more thing, do you know this kid named Mjay Yan? He's been showing up at the Lotus Guild a lot lately, and he's been meeting chairwoman Lu Shung Yin frequently. Do you know what's going on There? Park Yangji's gaze turned sharp. That's not something an outsider needs to worry about. Seeing she wouldn't get any answers, Yanju turned to leave, smiling. Honestly, I didn't expect you to tell me anyway. Senior Sanji, everyone knows how tight-lipped you are. I was just doing this because the guild paid me. I had to make it look convincing. I'll be going

then. See you around, senior. Meanwhile, inside the dungeon, Minhan had already cleared out All the lesser monsters and was waiting calmly for the demon king night shade. A faint rustling sound echoed through the area and he knew instantly the demon king nightshade was about to appear. Sure enough, it didn't take long before nightshade emerged before him. Men Jay Hian looked up at the demon king nightshade and said calmly, "Long time no see and I'm not the same as last time." The moment the words left his mouth, he launched his attack. After Taking the hit, the

demon king night shade immediately counterattacked. But Minjan dodged the attack with ease. Even while airborne, he never let up his assault. He kept firing sacred arrow, steadily whittling down the demon king, Nightshade's health. Under that pressure, Nightshade had no choice but to let Men Jian land safely. The moment it recovered, the demon king launched a counterattack. Three slashing waves tore through the air, flying straight toward Minjay Yan. Yet with a simple side step, Minjan effortlessly avoided the skill. The sight clearly stunned the demon king Nightshade, seeing Min Jian closing the distance. Nightshade immediately attacked again,

but every single strike was dodged with almost casual precision. Then Min Jay Hyan raised his hand and activated lightning chains. What's wrong? This isn't what you expected, is it? As the words fell, multiple lightning chains shot straight toward Nightshade. As an act of skill, its power far surpassed Sacred Arrow, and Min Jay Hyan could freely control its trajectory mid-flight. The demon king never expected the attack to change direction. One brief lapse was all it took to be tightly bound by the chains. Still, Minjan knew that this level of damage alone wouldn't be enough to finish

it. Min Jay Han immediately prepared to fire sacred arrow, aiming to finish it off with additional damage. However, the demon king Nightshade's health pool far exceeded his expectations. After taking so much damage, it didn't fall. Instead, it entered a berserk state. Worse still, if Men Jay failed to defeat it within 10 minutes, he would die instantly. In desperation, Men Jon attempted to use absolute calculation to disrupt the skill. But at the critical moment, Hell suddenly intervened and stopped him. Shocked and furious. Men Jay Hyan Shouted, "Hell, why would you interfere at a time like this?"

Receiving no response, Men Hyan could only suppress his anger and focus on ending the fight as quickly as possible. To his surprise, the demon king Nightshade began retreating on its own. Clearly trying to stall for time. Left with no choice, Minjan activated sacrifice to forcibly restrain it. In the brief gap between skills, Nightshade launched a counterattack. It not only interrupted Min Jhin's casting, but also inflicted him with a fear status effect. Taking advantage of his momentary hesitation, Nightshade charged forward and rapidly drained his health. Fortunately, the blow did not deal fatal damage. If the fight

dragged on any longer, Men Jay Hyan would have no chance of winning that he decisively changed tactics, choosing to block the demon king's vision first. Seeing Min Jay Hyan rush forward, Nightshade instinctively tried To create distance, but it quickly realized that Min Jay Hyan had stopped at range to cast another skill. You didn't seriously think I'd charge in and fight you head on, did you? Before the words even finished, a blinding flash erupted in front of Nightshade, hidden within the light, lightning chains struck its body with pinpoint accuracy. At the same moment, Men Jay Hyan

finally closed the distance. The demon king attempted to summon lesser monsters to Stall for time, but Minjan had already activated sacrifice. The system identified the target as an undead creature, causing sacrifice to automatically convert into judgment of light. With only 3 seconds left on the timer, Minjan finally defeated the demon king Nightshade. As a result, he obtained a new title, the first to pass the trial. At that moment, hell spoke once more. Loki's choice was justified after all. Come, child, that I invite You to enter my divine temple. In almost an instant, Mjan was summoned

to the gates of the temple. But at that exact moment, a terrifying presence locked onto him. The next second, a monstrous creature burst out from within the temple. Just as Min Jay Hyan was about to be killed on the spot, a commanding voice rang out, "Garmm, escort the guest inside." At those words, Garm immediately withdrew its killing intent, turned around, and led Min Jay Hyan into The Temple of Death. The moment he stepped inside, Mjian called out loudly, "Hell, I've come to see you." Hell appeared soon after, regarding him with faint surprise. "I didn't expect

you to actually succeed. Congratulations. Chosen by fate as the child of the rebel. You have perfectly passed my trial. Menjian asked in a low voice. Why give me the non-y system? Why put me through this trial? What is your real objective? Hell answered calmly. Everything was done to turn you into a rebel. Men frowned. Why me? Hell smiled. Because you were born with this destiny. to oppose the lofty assur race and slay the supreme god Odin. That is the expectation Loki holds and the one we place upon you. Menjay was baffled. You want me to

eliminate Odin? I don't understand what you're talking about. Hell replied indifferently. You don't need to understand that I never expected you to. The reason you were dragged into The conflicts of the gods is something you cannot grasp right now. But remember this, this is not merely a matter for the assured sinners. The entire world is heading toward death, and Odin intends to claim it all for himself. To stop all of this, we need your power. Grow stronger. I look forward to the day we meet again. Before Menjay Yan could say another word, he'll forcibly expel

him from the temple. Then Hell turned her head and said coldly, "Are you planning To keep watching from the sidelines? I don't recall inviting you. From within a golden sphere of light, mean mirrors spoke. Forgive this old man's rudeness. Once I heard you met him, I simply couldn't restrain myself. That fellow has always been loyal, no matter the era. But tell me, how did it feel to see him in person? Hell replied calmly. It's still too early to draw conclusions. He has only just taken his first step. Mimir chuckled. Yet, it seems to me that

You're rather pleased with that boy. Hell did not deny it. As a rebel, his growth has already exceeded my expectations. He solved the problem I set before him and stood before me in the end. Although some things went beyond my calculations, I'm still pleased. Hearing this, Mimir finally relaxed. That's good. As long as everything goes smoothly for him, I can rest easy. He'll ask coldly. Is that all you wanted to say? You should still have Something to tell me, Mimir. Mimir replied with an innocent look. I have no idea what you're talking about. Hell sneered.

You sly old man. Are you really going to pretend you know nothing? The law of causality surrounding the rebel has clearly been distorted. Did you think I wouldn't notice? It seems your title as the wise giant is nothing but history now. And the rebel's left eye. That was an offering Odin made to the well of wisdom. Don't you intend to Explain this? Mimir, what exactly are you and Loki plotting? Mimir said apologetically. Please forgive me. It's still too early to tell you everything. For now, just consider it the arrangement of fate. Hell smiled faintly. Fate?

Huh? Fine. I'm used to waiting, but I won't stand by and do nothing. According to the prophecy, countless trials still lie ahead of him. He will need a guide. To climb to the summit, one must have a guide who can Constantly lead them along the right path. Meanwhile, Minjay Yan was already transported out of the dungeon. Although he still hadn't learned the truth, he received hell's blessing, granting him immunity to all abnormal status effects. A week before the semester began, Lucingin secretary Parkhana took Men Jay to the mall to pick out suitable magic items for

his upcoming enrollment. But Min Jay Hian couldn't bring himself to feel excited at all. Noticing the look On his face, Park Hana asked with concern, "You don't look so good. I something bothering you?" Of course, Mjian had no intention of revealing his secret. His trip to the domain of the dead hadn't brought him any answers, only more questions. He had gained a new Yex rank skill, but the price was shockingly steep, eliminating Odin. Lost in thought, Mjian followed Parkhana as they wandered through the mall before he realized that she was already chatting With a sales

clerk. It turned out that Sianai had picked out a magic dagger for him. When he saw the price tag, 300 million. Men Jay Hian instantly broke out in a cold sweat that he never imagined a consumable item could cost that much. Park Hana explained calmly. Milan's Academy does provide some supplies for new students, but the quality is pretty average. It's better to bring your own gear. After that, she pulled out a long shopping list Lu Shung Yin had given her and started equipping Minjan accordingly, staring at the densely packed list. Minjan felt his scalp go

numb as sweat poured down his back. Although Parkhana had made her intentions clear from the start, Menjay Hyan had assumed they'd only buy a few artifacts or elixir, nothing that would take too much time. Clearly, reality had far exceeded his expectations. At that moment, Parkhana said, "Then let's go buy some armor next." But Minjan turned The suggestion down. He had already obtained a set of armor earlier in the domain of the dead. For his current level, that armor was more than sufficient. What's more, equipping it even granted him the stealth skill. Hearing Min Jay Yan

muttering to himself, Park Hana mistakenly thought he was looking for a stealth card. That kind of item was something every raider dreamed of, but there was no way it could be bought in a place like this. Men Jay Hyan quickly waved his hands. I was just talking to myself, don't overthink it. Hardly anyone even learns the stealth skill in the first place, right? Unless you got extremely lucky and farmed it inside a dungeon, obtaining a stealth card was nearly impossible. Park Hana nodded in agreement. That's true. Nationwide, the only person with a stealth skill is

my brother. Men Jian's curiosity was immediately peaked. Who exactly was her Brother? Park Hana replied, "My brother is Park Sunj." Who didn't know? Minjay Yan was genuinely shocked. He never imagined Park Hana was Park Sunj's sister. Their presence and aura were completely different. Just then, a certain item resonated with Min Jay Hyan. A flash of light appeared before his eyes once more. Without hesitation, Men Jay Hian rushed toward the glowing point, convinced that some kind of treasure was waiting for him there. The Scene shifted to I end the training grounds. Violent sword winds surged toward

man. The white-haired fighter before him seemed tireless. Every swing of his blade brimming with overwhelming aggression. When a sparring session ended, the victor was an Hoyan. Although the other man was also strong, the gap in talent between them was simply too obvious. People often said he would become the next S-rank raider. And clearly that reputation wasn't unfounded At that moment. And Hoyen's father said, "Good work. Don't get arrogant. This match was one you were supposed to win. And Hoyan replied, "Understood, father." His father continued, "The sparring is over. Get ready for the next schedule. After

you shower, we're going shopping." What he didn't realize was that in Hoyan had long grown tired of this mechanical routine. He could te this point. He was nothing more than a chess piece in his father's hand. And with no other choice, He could only accept it. This was never the kind of raider he wanted to become. Meanwhile, Minjan arrived at the treasure site. To his shock, the treasure before him turned out to be Miss Stiltime. It was the legendary weapon that pierced the chest of Odin's son, Balder, an artifact imbued with seemingly endless magical power,

capable of growing alongside its wielder. Men Jon couldn't help but wonder whether this was yet another joke played on him By the Nyell system. completely absorbed in his thoughts, he failed to notice an Hoyan passing by behind him. At the moment, an Hoyan was accompanying his father through the mall, shopping for equipment that he asked helplessly, "Do we really need to buy this much?" His father replied flatly, "These are all for you. Someone aiming to become an S-rank raider can't be stingy over things like this." and Hoyan hesitated before speaking up. But if we spend

this Much, my mother's hospital bills this month. His father cut him off coldly. Enough that I'll take care of the medical expenses. All you need to do is train seriously. And so and Hoyan could only stand there like a puppet. He didn't understand why he was even there. Like a monkey in a zoo on display for everyone to stare at and judge. He still remember the day he first awakened his abilities. His mother had smiled and gently patted his head. From that moment On, he dreamed of becoming a raider, to bring even a small ray

of light to that broken, suffocating home. But in his father's eyes, that dream was nothing more than something to be exploited. And so, an Hoyan gradually turned into a machine, carrying out the commands programmed by his father day after day. Just then, a dungeon rift suddenly appeared near the mall, and Hoyan froze on the spot. Walking ahead, his father urged impatiently, "How yen, what are You standing there for? Get over here. You're a genius destined to control the nation's future. If you get injured here, it would be a huge loss for the opening ceremony at

Milan's Academy." But when Enhoyan thought of the ordinary people who couldn't protect themselves, he immediately sprinted toward the dungeon. This was his only chance to prove that he was truly a raider. He wanted to confirm one thing. Whether he was still a child, his mother could be Proud of. But the moment he laid eyes on the goblins, and Hoyen came to a dead stop. This was his first time facing these monsters up close. And even though they were low-level creatures, his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably. All Anoyan could do was watch as the goblins

lunged straight at him. Under their relentless pressure, he was completely frozen in place. At the critical moment, Men Jan arrived in time and saved him. The powerful impact Sentin flying to the side. Men Jhan looked at the man on the ground and asked, "Are you in Hoyen?" The scene rewound to 2 and 1/2 minutes earlier when Minj Han had just purchased Miss Stilttime. At that moment, Parkana had only just arrived at the shop where Minjan was. She couldn't help but wonder why he had bought such a strange looking stone. Before Minjay Yan could explain, an

alarm announcing the appearance of a Dungeon echoed through the mall. Minjay Yan made the same choice as an Hoyan. He rushed straight out of the mall, the instinctive reaction of any raider. The moment he stepped outside, Men Jay Hyan unleashed Sacred Arrow. A torrent of powerful magic rain down on the goblin horde. But the sheer number of monsters was overwhelming. There was no way Men Jian could take them all down on his own. It was right here that he encountered the unfortunate prodigy, and Hoen. And Hoyen couldn't help but wonder who the person in front

of him really was. Men Jay Hian spoke first. We can talk later. Right now, I need your help. Suddenly, a goblin appeared behind him. An Hoyen immediately shouted, "Wait behind you." Before he could finish, Mjian had already eliminated the goblin in an instant. Mjian turned back and asked, "Are you just going to stand there? Get a grip. Pick up your weapon." The moment those words reached him, all Of Anoyan's anxiety and hesitation vanished. The figure standing before him was exactly what he believed a true raider should be. Right now, there was only one thing they

needed to do. Wipe out the monsters and protect the ordinary people inside them all. Men Jay Hyan helped him regain his fighting spirit and asked, "Can you use taunt if you can draw some of the monsters attention first? There are too many goblins that owe everything you can Allure them away." Hearing this, an Hoyan immediately summoned his weapon. He then activated his skill, taunting roar. This wasn't an ordinary taunt, but a far more advanced skill. Mastering something like this at his age was exactly why he was called a genius. Back in his previous life, before

Min Jiian's rebirth, and Hoyen had ultimately ended up as nothing more than an ordinary beer raider. While the exact reasons were unclear, it was likely that the same Kind of cowardly mindset he had just shown, so different from his public reputation as a genius, caused him to crumble quickly in battle. That was precisely why he became known as the unfortunate prodigy. This time, however, Men Jon believed that an Hoyan would eventually grow into a powerful trump card, one that would be extremely useful to him. Men Jian encouraged him. Good. Let's finish this quickly. After the

fight ended, a startled voice suddenly Rang out from nearby. My god, what on earth happened here? Men Jay Hyan and in Hoyan immediately turned toward the source of the voice. The newcomer was a raider who had arrived as reinforcement. He introduced himself. I'm Park Hun from the raider association. Were all these goblins taken down by the two of you? The two nodded. Yes. Hark Kyong Hun quickly recognized an Hoyan and began to think to himself, he'd heard rumors that this kid was a prodigy, but judging by His age, he should be close to entering high

school. The one beside him looked about the same age. Did they really wipe out this many goblins on their own? The more he thought about it, the more troubled he looked. How am I supposed to report this to my superiors? Seeing his hesitation, Men Jay Yun spoke up. That's actually what I wanted to discuss with you. Just say the association handled it and no one would believe we could have taken down this many monsters anyway. Park Hoon hesitated. That's clearly against protocol. Men Jay Hyan replied calmly. It would be if someone actually witnessed everything, but

that's assuming there were witnesses, right? Park Hoon side and shrugged. As you can see, I'm part of a government agency that I can't handle things purely based on personal preference. Still, if you don't want attention, I'll do my best to take care of it discreetly. I'll also provide the monster subjugation rewards. Hearing that, Men Jian gestured toward an Hoyen, then give my reward to him as well, and please keep it confidential that I was ever here. And Hoyen hurriedly called out to Min Jay Han, who was about to leave. Wait a second. What do you

mean by that? You were the one who took down those monsters, weren't you? Min Jay Hian apologized softly. I'm sorry that I have my reasons. The opening ceremony at Milan's Academy was just around the corner, and Min Jay Hyan Didn't want to risk drawing his father's attention. Before, his low combat power had kept him under the radar. But things were different now. Once discovered, his plans would inevitably be disrupted. Only by hiding his strength for the time being, could he seize the chance for revenge when it truly mattered. Meanwhile, An Hoyen was caught in a

painful dilemma. Rationally speaking, he shouldn't simply take credit for Min Jahian's achievements. Yet, with that Money, his mother's condition might finally improve. He wanted to become a raider with a clear conscience. But he also couldn't bear the thought of losing his mother. Seeing his hesitation, Minion decided to help him make a choice. He said calmly, "Think it through. Every decision you make leads to a different outcome. If you keep hesitating, someone will end up paying the price. And Hoyen suddenly realized that if he lost the person who mattered Most, his dreams would become meaningless. He

stopped hesitating and said firmly, "If I ever get the chance, I'll repay this debt." From that brief exchange alone, Park Hun could tell that Min Jay Hyan possessed a level of maturity far beyond his years. He spoke up at the right moment. Since you've reached an agreement, I'll handle it the way you suggested. With the matter settled, Min Hyan didn't linger. If that's decided, I'll be on my way. And Hoyan quickly stopped him. At least tell me your name and how to contact you. Men Jay Hyan smiled. No need to make things complicated. We're the

same age and we're both freshman at Milan's Academy, but we'll definitely see each other again. Time quickly arrived at the enrollment day of Milan's Academy. Carrying the title of marshall type prodigy and Hoyen soon drew the attention of the surrounding students. Another figure who caught their eyes was Su Yana. She was destined to become the future top of the raider popularity rankings. However, Su Yana was different from the others. Mjian knew she wouldn't be easy to recruit. Besides, there was no need to rush things. I could tee this point. He already had three companions whose

strength far surpassed that of ordinary people. Standing nearby, Kimong said irritably, "No matter how pretty she is, you can't just keep staring at her like that." Hearing Kim Yuyongs Comment, Suana glanced in Min Jian's direction. At that moment, a voice rang out from the podium. Freshman of Milan's Academy. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm the chairman, Guerin. The instant men Jay Yun heard that name, his expression hardened. A large part of the misery he had suffered back then was precisely because of Gueran. He immediately said to Kim Yong in a solemn tone, "Be

mentally prepared that I end this place, we can't predict what might Happen, Kim Yuyong, however, didn't take it seriously and replied cheerfully. So you worried about me? Don't worry, I'm pretty strong, you know." Men Jay Hian reflected silently. That was true. After enrolling, Kim Yong would become the third ranked elite of the magic type division. And this time, no matter what, he wouldn't let her repeat the same fate. On the stage, Gueran continued, "Students, the opening ceremony of Milan's Academy now begins. We've Prepared a special event for all of you. A hunting activity in subspace

where current students and freshmen will participate together. The freshman hunt officially begins. A magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Kim Yuyongs feet, startling her. At the critical moment, Min Jian reached out and firmly grabbed her hand. The scene shifted to the Lotus Guild. Park Sunj asked, "Today's the day Min Jian enrolls, right?" Lu Shing replied in Surprise already. I was planning to message him before enrollment to wish him luck. If I send it now, he probably won't even see it. Park J answered calmly. I anticipated the chairman's intentions, so I sent a message on your behalf

yesterday. Lucian asked excitedly. Really? Did he reply? What did Minj Hyian say? Harkon J took out his phone. He said, "There's no need for you to worry." Meanwhile, Men Jay Hyan and Kim Yong had already entered Subspace. And inside that space, besides the two of them, there's one more person. Suana, the magic type prodigy recognized as Srank after Lu Shingan, the one who reshaped how the world viewed magic. The scene shifted again, this time to the central control room of Milan's Academy. Gueran stood with the faculty observing the freshman's performance in real time. Instructor Kim

Sukgi spoke up. This class has quite a few outstanding talents and Hoyen is Already well known even overseas. He's widely regarded as a rising star. Aside from Hoyen, there are several high potential candidates. Su Yana, Kim Yuyong, and Lee Su Huk. All magic type, all with scores above 90. There's also one student who switched majors midway. Their profile hasn't been fully updated yet. Guier and sneered students who change paths halfway through never last long in our academy. You don't even need to look. Anyone who makes it into Milan's academy certainly has exceptional talent. But among

them are prodigies like an Hoyan who are already famous long before enrolling. We still need to give those mediocre ones, those stepping stones a chance. When awakened individuals face enemies they can't handle or brush against real death, there's a high chance they'll gain a second opportunity. If they manage a second awakening, it's a profit for us. After all, being a raider is about Proving one's worth. As for those who get crushed along the way, there's simply defective products that failed to prove themselves. His task was to select the most outstanding prodigies and offer them to

that great one. There was no time left to waste. Otherwise, that great one would surely grow displeased. The entrance ceremony at Milan's Academy took the form of a hunting game held inside subspace. Subspace broke free from the constraints of time and space. Things that could never exist in reality were distorted into tangible forms here. Every year, 5% of the students were eliminated in this place. Such a brutal activity existed for one purpose only, to force students to confront their absolute limits. That was why Min Jay Hyan could not afford to lower his guard under any

circumstances, especially in front of magic type prodigy like Su Yina. Before long, Guerran's projection appeared within subspace. From this Moment on, I will explain the rules of the freshman hunt. According to regulations, everyone may only use skills of C rank or below. Each time you remove another participant's name tag, you will earn points. When upperassmen take a freshman's tag, they receive 10,000 points. Conversely, if a freshman takes an upperassman's tag, they earn 100,000 points. These points can be exchanged for facilities and resources within Milan's Academy. For safety Reasons, skill power has been reduced to the

minimum. There's no need to worry about injuries. Participate actively in the game. Men Jay Hian quickly noticed that Gueran never mentioned restrictions on innate skills nor any limitations on talent. The intention was obvious to filter out the useless ones in advance and to identify truly gifted freshmen as early as possible. Men Jay Hyan then said to Kim Yung, "We'll be here for 3 days, but let's find a shelter first." Subspace was filled with traps and facilities that if they wanted to survive for 3 days, finding a shelter was the top priority. Himyong lowered her voice.

Wouldn't it be safer if we teamed up with her? She looks like a magic type student, too. That wouldn't an extra person help. Min Hyun weighed the idea silently. Recruiting Su Yano would certainly be ideal, but she was an extremely unstable variable. In the future, there would be countless reports Of her losing control and putting numerous lives in danger. After a brief pause, he said, "This isn't a decision we can make lightly. How can you be sure she won't betray us? Look at her. She's on high alert. Her eyes are full of distrust toward us."

To his surprise, Kimyong shook her head. "I don't feel any of that at all. The way she feels right now, it's exactly like you when you were a kid." With that, Kim Yung walked straight towards Suana. If you're Willing, would you like to team up with us? Both of us are magic type, too. This event is clearly stacked against freshmen. The more people we have, the easier it'll be to fight. Suana looked upward and replied calmly. Whether we team up or not, we'll have to decide that in a moment. The next instant, a fierce gust

roared overhead. As the dust settled, two figures appeared. Didn't expect to find three freshmen this fast. Looks like earning points this year will Be easy. The newcomers were upper classman Shin Jun Shang and Quan Shaol from Milan's Academy. Quan Shaolafron. Why are there three? I clearly sensed only two. She quickly realized she couldn't sense Men Jian's presence at all. Kimyong said nervously. Those two upper classmen are marshall type. Shouldn't we retreat first? Men Jay Hyan answered decisively, "No, we can't escape. We have to deal with them here." Based on memories from his previous Life, he

knew Quan Shallu and Nate's skill all too well. She could track designated targets within a 300 km radius. If they didn't take care of them now, once more upper classmen joined in, they'd stand no chance. Shun Jun Shan laughed excitedly. Since the points are right in front of us, I won't hold back. With that, he charged straight toward the three of them. Unexpectedly, the strike was effortlessly dodged by Men Jay Hyan. Men Jay Hyan said calmly, "It's been a long time since anyone dared to swing a sword at me. Enraged, Shan Jun Shong slashed again.

Any freshman who can dodge my attacks, I'd know them, and you were just a magic type freshman." But in the next instant, his blade was firmly caught in Min Jian's hand. Men Jay Hyan spoke coldly. Someone as stupid as you surviving this long. That's impressive in its own way. With that, he crushed Shun Jun Chong's sword with his bare hand. The sight Stunned Su Yana on the spot. Men Jay Hian continued, "I'll give you 3 seconds. Hand over your name tag and I'll spare you." But Shan Jun Shang was already terrified, unable to react within

such a short span of time. After 3 seconds passed, Min Jay Hyian said flatly, "I gave you a chance. You chose not to take it." He then threw a single punch straight at Shun Jun Shang. Quan Sha never imagined her partner would be eliminated so quickly. Meanwhile, inside The central control room, Kim Sukji remarked, "A freshman has finally taken a name tag." As his words fell, the system announced that contestant Min Jay Yun had earned 100,000 points. Instructor Yung Eu froze in shock. He immediately turned to instructor Park Hajun and asked in a low voice,

"Is there a system error? Why isn't this in Hoyen?" Park Hajun hurriedly checked the system before replying. Instructor Yung, there are no abnormalities in the System. At that moment, a thrilled smile spread across Guerrerin's face. Min Jay Hyun. Clearly, he had taken a strong interest in that name. The scene returned to the subspace. Quan Sha exclaimed in shock. Why have I never heard that name before? Who exactly are you? Men Jay Hyan ignored her completely and spoke directly to Kim Yuyong. I sent you a party invite. Accept it now. Well take care of the last

one together. Kim Yu Yong was full of Confusion. Why had Minjian suddenly become this strong? Su Yana said nothing, silently drawing her weapon instead. Even without a monster like Minjian, there was no way Kan Sha look when a one versus three fight. Realizing that, she immediately decided to take down one target first and then escape in the chaos. Unfortunately for her, that attack was also easily dodged by Kim Yuyong. If Kim Yong were an ordinary person, the tactic might have worked, But unfortunately, she wasn't. After evading the attack, Kim Yune instantly activated bind onwan Shaolu.

Slipping through the restraint, Quan Shaol quickly hurled the throwing knives in her hand. Luckily, Kim Yong raised a magical barrier in time, blocking the strike. Men Jian knew very well that Kim Yuyong alone still couldn't overpower an upperassman head-on. Just as he was about to step in, he heard Su Yana's quiet spell chanting. What she cast was Her innate skill, sort of all fine. In almost an instant, Quan Shallow was completely defeated by Su Yana's attack. Only then did she finally realize the truth. The three freshmen standing before her were all monsters. After the battle,

Suana looked at Kim Yuyong and asked calmly, "Did I interfere with what you were doing?" Kim Yong waved her hands quickly. "No, not all. You actually saved me just now." Suana then asked again, "So, is the offer you Mentioned earlier still on the table?" After everything that had happened, Mjian felt it was necessary to reassess his view of Su Yana. Perhaps she wasn't as unstable as the news had portrayed, just naturally cautious and quiet by nature. After forming a team, the three of them headed straight for the nearest shelter, the Nightmare Forest Refuge. Outside the

shelter, upper classmen were searching for traces of freshmen when someone quickly spotted footprints on The ground. There are other footprints here. Looks like they went inside the shelter. Stop searching. Everyone regroup here. They were convinced that any freshman capable of taking down upperassmen wouldn't hide in a shelter forever. So, they decided to camp outside the entrance, waiting for their prey to come out. What they didn't know was that Min Jahian's group had already noticed their movements. A sudden attack struck, instantly eliminating one of the Upperassmen in the crowd. That act was nothing short of a

direct insult to the upper classmen. Following the lingering trail of magic, they quickly spotted Kim Yuyong hiding nearby. They rushed after her, completely unaware that they had already fallen into Men Jin's trap. Kim Yong glanced back and taunted them. So many of you and you still can't catch me. Isn't that embarrassing? The leading upperassman roared. You little bastard. Stop right there. Unbeknownst to them, Kimyong was secretly mocking their simple-mindedness. In truth, Men Jay Hyan had anticipated this situation long before it happened. While the shelter was safe, staying there forever was never an option. They needed

supplies, and more importantly, they needed points. Their real objective was to hunt the upperassmen instead. At that moment, Kim Yuyong activated Windstep. She had already lured them into a dense area of paralyzing spore mushrooms, exactly as Planned. It turned out Menjay Hyan had asked Lee Jang beforehand about ways to resist the effects of the paralyzing spores. After thinking for a moment, Lie Jang replied, "There's no reliable way to prevent it for now, but the sap from Osmanthis branches can neutralize the toxin." Men Jay Hyan answered immediately. If it can cure it, that's enough. Thanks, bro.

With that, Mjuns group began searching the subspace for Osmanthis tree sap. After All, this game had been designed specifically for marshall type students with nearly every rule placing magic types at a severe disadvantage. For someone like Kim Yuong, who lacked an innate skill, direct offensive options were almost non-existent. Men Jay Hyan quickly laid out a plan. We'll turn this around using basic skills. Can you use a swap skill? Su Ena asked curiously. A spell that only switches positions with teammates. How could that possibly turn The tide? Men Jay Hyan raised a collected osmanthis sap and

said, "Relax. With this, we can go all out." Back in the present, the upperassmen also began to sense that something was off. They realized that continuing to chase Kimmy would force them into the range of the paralyzing spore mushrooms. For a moment, hesitation spread through the group. A heated argument broke out between Park Se Hayok and O Gan Hayok. Oh snapped, we're already this far. Are You really suggesting we back off now? Park replied grimly. If we turn back now, we still have time. Oh, Gene Hayak shouted, "That freshman eliminated Kim Sehun." "And you're saying

this now?" Park son Hayak answered hesitantly. Even if they're freshman, if we all get paralyzed, we won't be able to do anything. Oh, Jean Hayak sneered. Even if we get paralyzed, that kid won't get away. Park Song Hayak, you stay here. Stand outside the paralysis zone and Keep watch. The rest of you, come with me that I'll show them that cheap tricks won't save them. Oh, Gene Hayak knew full well that Kim Yong was trying to lure them into a trap so her teammates could ambush them. But at this point, his anger had completely overwhelmed

his judgment. And besides, they had never taken magic type freshman seriously to begin with. At last, oh, Gene Hayach caught up with Kim Yong and snarled. So, this is it, brat. You've got nowhere Left to run. You little pest really enjoyed making things this complicated, didn't you? Kim Yong mocked him. Then come over here. Or are you too scared? You were talking big a moment ago. What happened? Why isn't anyone moving now? Provoked by her taunts, the upper classmen rushed forward in fury. Kim Yung immediately triggered the paralyzing spore mushrooms beneath her feet. The explosion

sent spores everywhere, plunging all living beings Within a 50 m radius into a paralysis lasting two full hours. At the same time, Min Jan noticed the flash from the spore detonation in the distance. He turned to Su Ena and said, "Looks like it's our turn." Back in a mushroom forest, O Gene Hayak hadn't expected Kimyong to actually trigger the paralyzing spores, an act that benefited no one present. Yet, Kimyong said excitedly, "Time to switch. This isn't my stage anymore." With that, she Activated her active skill swap. In the next instant, Min Jay Yan was exchanged

into the battlefield, his foot slamming down hard onto O Gene Hayak's face. "Respected seniors," he said calmly. "It's my turn now." Before the words even settled, he kicked, "Oh, Jean Hayach flying." Even as he was sent crashing away. "Oh, Jean Hayak," shouted stubbornly. "You think things will go your way? You're an idiot for coming here yourself. Right into the paralyzing Spore zone. Just in case, I already had my teammate guarding me outside. Once these spores clear, none of you are getting away. Min Jay Hyan cut him off cooly. Sorry, that guy probably won't be making

it here either. At the same time, a violent explosion echoed deep within the forest. The system immediately announced, "Contestant Park Se Hayak has been eliminated." And the one who eliminated him was none other than Sue Ena. The moment O Gan Hayak saw the Notification, he froze in disbelief. Min Jay Hyan spoke calmly. Didn't I tell you that guy wasn't going to make it? It was then that O Gene Hayak realized something shocking. The paralyzing spores that could immobilize everyone for two full hours had absolutely no effect on Min Jan that he was under hell's blessing,

immune to all status effects, making him the only person still able to move. Men Jay Hyan stepped down hard and said coldly, "If you want Answers, save them for the gods." The remaining three could only watch helplessly as O Gene Hayach was eliminated on the spot. Men Jay Hyan then turned his gaze toward the others and said flatly, "So that leaves just the three of you?" Meanwhile, inside the central control room, the non-stop score notifications left the instructors utterly stunned. Min Jahian's team had surged straight to the top of the leaderboard. At the same time,

Kim Yun Drank the Osmanthis sap. The paralysis affecting her body was instantly removed. With a threat resolved, the girls moved to regroup with Minjan. On the way, Sue Ena asked, "Men Jay Hian seems unusually familiar with advanced applications of magic swapping that I've never seen that in any textbook." Kim Yong replied he switched to the magic track less than 3 months ago that I taught him most of the fundamentals myself. Sue Ena said in shock so he Originally wanted to go marshall type. Himyong explained just a few months ago he was obsessed with marshall combat.

Back then he barely respected magic at all. Then how did he know that osmanthis sap could remove paralysis? Where did he even learn something like that? It didn't take long for the three of them to reach their agreed meeting point. Men Jay Hun asked, "The paralysis is gone, right?" "You two don't look that tired." Kim Yong replied immediately. "Of Course. I just ran like crazy for a bit and only used magic once." Su Enan nodded. I'm fine, too. Kim Yu Yong then teased him. You usually look kind of dumb, but today you seem different. Men

Jay Hian reached out and pinched her cheek. Who are you calling dumb? You've got some nerves saying that. In Su Ena's eyes, Men Jay Hian didn't look dumb at all. If anything, he was actually pretty good-looking, right in line with her personal taste. She quickly pushed the Thought aside, though. Caution still came first. After dealing with the trouble outside, they returned to the shelter. Mjian began working over a pot. Suina asked curiously, "What are you doing making stamina recovery potions?" Min Jay Hian replied, "I figure we might need them, so asked an older guy no

for the recipe." Kim Yuyun laughed and teased him. You actually know an older guy? I thought you didn't even have friends. Minion shot back, "Listen to Yourself like you got friends other than me." Su Ena praised him sincerely. Min Jay Yun, you're really impressive. You don't feel like someone our age at all. You come across like someone who's lived 10 years longer. Kim Yung stood up and said, "Enough chatting that if we want to act tomorrow, we should eat something first." Unfortunately, neither Min Jay Yun nor Kim Yuyong had any real talent when it came

to cooking. Su Ena stepped forward on her own. I know a bit about Cooking. Why don't I give it a try? I live with my grandmother, so I'm the one who cooks everyday. As she spoke, Su Ena tied her hair back and got ready to work her magic in the kitchen. Men Jay Hyan didn't know much about Sue Ena's family background. All he knew was that she lived with her grandmother. Her parents had likely met with some kind of misfortune. Before long, Sue Ena finished preparing dinner for everyone. After the first bite, both of them

were Instantly impressed by the taste. Men Jay Hian said sincerely, "I never thought we'd get food this good in a place like this." Kimyong was so excited that she wrapped Sue Ena in a hug. Being with the two of them, Su Ena felt a sense of warmth and happiness she hadn't felt in a long time. Meanwhile, inside the central control room, the hunting game, originally designed for Marshall type students, had taken an unexpected turn. Leading the rankings was Min Jay Hyan, a magic type student, stunning every instructor watching. Instructor Kim Sukgji said in disbelief, "The

student we had the highest expectations for, and Hoyen is currently ranked fourth." "What's even harder to believe is that first and second place are both held by magic type students." Guerreran was deeply shaken. Until now, results like this had only ever appeared among marshall type raiders. Yet, the current situation left everyone at a loss for Explanation. Three magic type freshmen had dominated the event, even wiping out the Marshall type upperassmen. He immediately turned to instructor Kim Jian and said, "Rep the footage from the paralyzing spore mushroom zone." Watching the footage again, Guerran still couldn't believe

I te I in that situation. Men Jay Hian had shown not only decisiveness, but astonishing judgment and combat ability strong enough to overwhelm Marshall types. He Didn't resemble a magic type student at all. Dot. If anything, he looked like a seasoned marshall type raider, and the most unbelievable part was that he was still a freshman. However, Minjin's data still hadn't been updated. At that moment, Park Hajun rushed in with a stack of documents. Chairman, we found Min Jin's information, but I'm not sure how reliable it is. Guerreran frowned. What do you mean you're not sure

it's reliable? Calm down and explain it Clearly. What exactly is going on? Instead of answering directly, Park Hajun handed over the file. Please take a look yourself. Menjahin's magic type compatibility is at 97%. The instant he saw the number. Gueran could hardly believe his eyes. At the same time, the excitement welling up inside him became impossible to suppress. I want to confirm it personally, Gueran said slowly. I want to see just how exceptional this talent Really is. Instructor Kim Sukgi asked from the side. Does that mean you plan to intervene in the assessment directly? Guer

nodded. Yes, I can't wait any longer to meet this kid. Why don't we design a little game of our own? Meanwhile, Menian's team had already reached a score of 1.1 million points, practically securing first place on the freshman rankings. Since no more upper classmen were heading into the nightmare forest, they had no choice but to leave Their temporary shelter. After all, if they wanted more points, they had to keep moving. Kimyong stretched lazily and said, "Looks like we don't have a choice. Time to get ready." Sue Ena added, "The highest record in previous freshman hunts

was 1.14 million points that let's break it and make history." Men Jay Hian hadn't expected Sue Ena to be this competitive. Just then, he suddenly sensed someone approaching. In the next instant, a ferocious slash shot Straight toward him. The power behind it far exceeded that of a C-rank skill. It turned out that due to instability in the subspace, the restrictions on skill levels had been lifted. In that moment, everyone instinctively turned to look in the direction the slash had come from. Kim Yu Yong asked anxiously, "Min Jay Yun, are you okay? We're all freshmen. Why

would he attack us? Men Jay Hian stared straight ahead and said quietly. I never thought we'd meet again like This. And Hoyen, what are you doing right now? But in Hoyan showed no reaction at all, as if he couldn't hear a single word. Sue Ena lowered her voice. He doesn't look conscious. It's like he's being controlled. Men Jian immediately understood this had to be Gueran's doing. The exact same thing had happened during the Milani's Academy anniversary event in his previous life. Back then, after Guerran's embezzlement was exposed, he tried to evade the law By using

mind control skills on students that it led to a horrific incident. It caused a horrifying disaster and after diverting everyone's attention, Gueran vanished without a trace. That incident claimed the lives of countless students. Kim Yong also collapsed into Men Juns arms on that very day. As a friend, Min Jay Hyan could never fight in Hoyan without holding back. Right now, the only thing that mattered was restoring his consciousness. At that Moment, the Nyell system suddenly issued a quest. Rescue a student affected by mind control magic, and the reward was a blackard. Men Jay Hyan immediately

said to the two of them, "I can handle this alone. Leave now. Go as far away as you can. If possible, earn some extra points while you're at it. Kim Yu Yong said anxiously, "Do you even know who he is? He's in Hoyan, the prodigy of a marshall division that there's no way you can face him alone." Mjian turned back and Said calmly, yet firmly, "Do you really think I can't do this?" Seeing the look on his face, Suyana chose to believe him without hesitation. Understand, she said quietly. We'll leave now. But Kim Yong still

couldn't accept it and blurted out, "Yina, why are you going along with Jay Hian on something this reckless? Fine, I'm going. Earning points will be on us then." After a brief pause, she added, "But Jan, don't you dare get hurt. Once you're done, come find us Right away." Men Jay Hian smiled lightly. Don't worry that I'll be there soon. The scene shifted back to one day earlier, relying purely on his own strength, and Hoyen had already eliminated many upper classmen. His score had now reached 600,000 points. He calculated silently. Just one more day and the

game would be over. And yet, despite giving it everything he had, he still couldn't reach first place. What frustrated him even more was that the Magic division students were holding the top spots under these conditions with even their teammates ranking high and Hoyen couldn't help recalling his first encounter with Min Jayon. He sighed inwardly. That guy really is something else. If that's the case, then I can't afford to give up so easily. There's still timed out if I push a little harder. At that moment, a projection suddenly appear before him. student and Hoyen. This is

Chairman Guerin and Hoyen Asked instinctively, "Why are you looking for me?" Guerreran didn't answer. Instead, he activated his innate skill, brainwashing. "I need your help with something." A searing pain exploded inside and Hoyan's head, his consciousness twisted violently. The brainwashing was complete. He clutched his head, his expression dazed and pained. Why am I here? What was I supposed to do? The chaos snapped into a single command. I remember now. I need To eliminate Min Jay Hian. Back in the present, In Hoyan charged at Min Jay Hyan, sluggish yet unwavering. He suddenly swung his sword, unleashing

a brutal slash. Men Jay Hyan leapt lightly, avoiding the strike with ease. He recognized it instantly. And Hoyen's irrank skill, Marshall Apex. when the attack failed and Hoyan immediately closed the distance. Men Jian frowned. The first time they met, this guy had been nothing special. But now his Control, his timing, everything felt completely different in terms of raw physical ability. Men Jay Yan was actually at a disadvantage. With nothing but his shield, and Hoyen slammed him straight into the air. Men Jay Hian twisted Madair, barely dispersing the overwhelming force. The moment he landed, he activated

Windstep. His speed surged beyond an Hoyan's reach. Using that advantage, he slipped behind and Hoyan in an instant. Lightning crackled In his palm. He was ready to end this pointless fight with lightning chains. But to his surprise, and Hoyen retreated at the exact right moment, before his eyes could even fully track Men Jian's movement, his body had already reacted on instinct alone. As expected of a prodigy born with extraordinarily sharp combat instincts, Mjian knew this fight would not be as easy as he had imagined. In theory, using absolute calculation would be enough to break the

Brainwashing. But the real problem was that Guerin was definitely watching this battle from the control room. He was probably even wearing that disgusting self-satisfied grin. At this moment, and Hoyen had fully ignited Min Jian's competitive drive. More than winning, Minhan wanted Guerin to pay. Step by step, he closed in on an Hoyen. In a control room, Jang Isho stared at the scene in disbelief that I'm not mistaken. Am I a magic type student Fighting in close quarters like a marshall type and actually gaining the upper hand and his opponent was in Hoyan the marshall type

prodigy. The site made it impossible for Jang Ishio to believe her own eyes. She clenched her sleeve tightly shock flooding her mind. How is this possible? How is he doing this? A magic type defeating a marshall type was supposed to be impossible. That belief had been burned deep into her heart through every battle she'd fought as a Magic typewriter. Yet now, the impossible was unfolding right before everyone's eyes. At this point, and Hoyen had completely lost the ability to fight back. Men Jon looked at him and said calmly, "I didn't intend to go this far,

but your body's tough. You should be able to stand up again soon." So, now it's time to deal with him. With that, Min Jay Hyan turned his gaze toward the people inside the control room. In the next instant, the surveillance screen Was flooded with blinding white light. The instructors in the control room cried out in shock. What happened? Why did the screen suddenly turn white? Guerreran snatched the remote control straight out of an instructor's hands. No matter how many buttons he pressed, the image refused to change. Beside him, Kim Jiann said it looks like he

used a spell to cut off the feed shining word. Gueran crushed the remote in his grip. That little brat, so that's how you want To play it. Instructor Kim Suki listened carefully. Once this event ends, bring that student. Men Jay Hyan to my office. Kim Suki hesitated. Are we really making that decision this quickly? Gueran looked at him with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. Instructor Kim Suki. Do you know why he cut off a feed even after winning? Because he understands how to increase his own value. Meanwhile, Minjan had already stepped in front

of an Hoyan. He activated absolute Calculation, breaking the brainwashing spell. Are you a bit clearer now? Minjan asked. And Hoyan tried to stand, but a wave of pain surged through his body. In the end, he collapsed to the ground, trembling. violently. Men Jay Hian said, "Sorry about that. You suddenly rushed in and attacked me." And Hoyan asked in confusion, "I attacked you. Why would I do something like that?" Men Jay Hian explained, "You were hit by a mental control type spell. Only then didn't Hoy And recall hearing a strange voice earlier. But that kind of

spell is definitely above a rank. The subspace clearly restricts skills to C rank and below." Men Jay Hian replied, "Maybe the subspace malfunctioned or someone interfered directly." And Hoyen pressed on. "Do you know who did it? Why would they do this?" Min Jay Hyan shook his head. I can't say for sure, but anyone capable of pulling off something on the scale isn't someone ordinary people can Afford to provoke. Still, Mjian was certain of one thing. Someday, an Hoyen would see Gueran for who he truly was. and Hoyan struggled to his feet only to realize the

pain in his body hadn't eased at all. Meanwhile, Menjian stood nearby as if nothing had happened, thinking about the gap between them, and Hoyan clenched his fists tightly. Then he spoke up, his voice low. I'm really sorry. Truly, Min Jay Hyan shrugged. If you can still move, I'll be heading out. Make the most of the time you have left. But just then, an Hoyen tossed something toward him. Men Jay Hian opened his hand and found in Hoyen's name tag. His expression turned serious. What are you doing? You know, losing your name tag is basically the

same as being eliminated. It's fine. And Hoyen replied, "I may not be as strong as you, but I've got plenty of points." And I lost to you fair and square. This belongs to you, but next time I won't lose. When that happens, I'll take this name tag back with my own hands. Men Jay Hian looked down at the name tag that it was only worth 10,000 points. Yet to him, it meant far more than that. Once he had longed for marshall type power, longed for recognition from a Marshall type prodigy. This sense of achievement was

something he had never felt before. The boy who once could only envy marshall type raiders had now defeated a marshall type genius with his own hands and Earned his recognition. For Min Jay Hyan, this was the most fulfilling moment since his return. He could clearly feel it. He had finally stepped beyond that fragile, painful past. Before long, the freshman hunting game came to an end. Min Jay Hian shattered the previous record with 1.53 million points. Gene Yung shot him an annoyed look at his shamelessly smug expression. That's a historic high. Shouldn't you be a little

happier about It? I'm not wrong, am I? Sue Ena. however, looked genuinely frustrated. If we'd had just one more hour, we could have broken 1.6 million. Xiin Yung couldn't really understand her obsession with higher scores, but she still laughed. Whatever. These points are enough for me to live comfortably for a while. Men replied, "Of course. Multiply our points by 10. That's basically real world money. That means you earn about 15.3 million. I took first place and you Two tied for second. There should also be an extra 1 million point bonus. Realizing how much she'd actually

earned, Gin Yung nearly threw herself at Minjay Yan compared to them, the rest of the students could only watch with envy. At that moment, a tall figure stepped forward through the crowd. Hello everyone that I'm instructor Kim Sukgji. Hearing this, the two immediately greeted him. Kim Sukji continued, "I have something I'd like to discuss with The three of you. There are too many eyes here. Shall we move somewhere else?" Men Jay Hian looked at him and asked, "What you want to talk about? Is it about our results?" In the freshman hunt, Kim Sugji could only

nod in response without saying another word. Men Yun walked straight past him, "Shouldn't you at least tell us where you're taking us?" Men Jay Hyan said calmly, "The chairman's office. I wasn't wrong. Was I instructor? Just like that, The three of them followed Kim Sukji and Aujirn's office. Men Jian glanced around and asked, "Where's the chairman?" He summoned us, but he's not even here. Faced with Min Jian's blatant arrogance. Kim Sukji was furious inside, but didn't dare say a word. You should sit down and wait for a moment. Unlike Min Jay Hyan, Gin Yu Yong,

and Su Ena obediently did as told. At that moment, Gujiren finally arrived. Sorry to keep you waiting, but I'm late. Gene Yung and Su Ena Immediately stood up. Hello, I'm Gin Yong, a freshman from the magic division. I'm Suina. Gujiren smiled. I know both of you, Gene Yu and Su Ena. Minjian, however, spoke impatiently. You really are late. I almost fell asleep waiting. The remarks done Jean Yuyong and Su Ena. And even Kim's suk gi turned pale. The office fell into complete silence. Gujiren suppressed his anger. Putting on a gentle smile, he said, "My apologies.

I needed some time to prepare So we could have a proper conversation." Men Jay Hyan didn't take the hint and shot back. "No, we should be the ones apologizing. We've been fighting for three straight days in the subspace. Barely had time to wash up and still rushed over." Gujarin quickly responded. That was indeed an oversight on my part. After several subtle probes, Mjian realized it clearly. Gujiren was backing down, unwilling to let talent like them slip away. Gujiren spoke calmly. I've Prepared what I believe is a rather appealing proposal. Please excuse the formality. First of

all, congratulations to the three of you for placing in the top three of this hunt. true elites in everyone's eyes. Especially you, Min Jay Hyan, for taking first place. You didn't just win, you shattered the previous record by an overwhelming margin. Such a result is astonishing even to me. Men Jian frowned. Can you get to the point already? Gujarin paused briefly before Continuing. The Milan's Academy intends to grant you several special privileges. First, you'll be allowed to stay in the academyy's premium dormatory suites free of charge. Second, any facility that requires reservations, each of you

will have priority access. Third, should you ever be dissatisfied with an exam result, you'll be granted one opportunity to apply for a re-examination. As the top three finishers of the freshman hunt, Men Jahian's group received unprecedented treatment, free access to premium dormatory suites, priority usage rights for all reserve facilities, and even exceptional flexibility within the academyy's examination system. Gujarin then added smoothly, on top of that, the three of you may also sign this agreement and become cooperative partners of Milan's academy, but Men Jian rejected it outright. Sure, those benefits sound nice, but honestly, with Our

own abilities, we could get all of that within a month anyway, couldn't we? Milan's Academy is supposed to be a place where strength speaks for itself that I don't really see why we're being asked to sign an extra contract on top of paying tuition. So, how about you let me take a look at the agreement first? And just like that, the so-called Milan's Academy partnership agreement was placed in front of them. For the 5 years after signing the agreement, as Raiders carry out their activities, they must donate 30% of their earnings to the academy. Chairman

Guerreran, "This isn't a benefit for us. This is you trying to trap us, isn't it?" Guerreran said helplessly, "If that's how you see it, then there's nothing I can do. This agreement isn't mandatory. Whether to sign or not is up to the three of you." After hearing what Min Jay Hian said, Kim Yong and Su Yina exchanged a glance. The two of them quickly decided not to Sign the agreement. Gueran lowered his head and said, "What a pity. Truly a pity. This is already the best offer I can make to you. Perhaps you haven't thought

it through yet. I can give you one more chance. Min Jan, do you still refuse to sign with me?" Guerrerin had no idea that Min Jay Hian had been waiting for the moment he would attempt brainwashing. Protected by hell's blessing, Minjan would not be affected by brainwashing. I've already made myself very clear. I I don't intend to sign that agreement. If there's nothing else, then we'll be leaving. After 3 days of non-stop fighting and being summoned to the office right away, we really need some proper rest. Just like that, the three of them walked past

instructor Kim Sukgi once again. After hearing the exchange, Kim Sukji was already drenched in cold sweat. Only Gueran and Kim Sukji remained inside the office. Guerran's Expression darkened completely. Instructor Kim, you may leave as well. He's just a freshman, yet he was able to resist my innate skill. Min Jay Hyun, you make me want you even more. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Mini Hyun asked, "You're really not bothered by this? You turned down Gueran's proposal as well." Kimyong replied, "At first, it was tempting, but after hearing what you said, it actually made a lot of sense." Suana agreed.

I also had doubts about That contract. Refusing it felt like the right choice. If we received special treatment from the start, it wouldn't be fair to others. Those things should be earned through one's own strength. Only then did Min Jay Hyun relax. That's good, Tio. Be honest. I was hoping you'd refuse it, too. Kim Yuong asked, "Don't you find it strange?" When we turned down his offer, his expression turned terrifyingly dark. Suana replied, "I felt something was off, too." The very First activity after enrollment already went wrong. Yet, neither of them mentioned it at all.

"Men Jay Hyan, do you know something about Chairman Guerreran?" Hearing that, Minj Hyan came to a stop. Why would you think that? Suana explained. You were far too composed for a freshman. But when you faced the chairman, you were unusually hostile toward him. Men Jian hesitated. I'm not completely sure myself, so it's not something I can talk about yet, but There's one thing I can tell you. If possible, don't trust anyone. Neither the chairman nor the instructors. Suana asked. Does that mean we shouldn't trust you either? Just then, Kim Yong sneaked up behind Suyana and

startled her. That's right. You can't trust him either. Look at how scary he looks. He even left me alone in the middle of the road earlier. As she spoke, she lunged forward. Do you have any idea how wronged I felt back then? After a brief Bout of playful scuffling, Mjay Hyun pushed Kim Ying away. All right. All right. Let's head back. Suana said reluctantly. "Looks like this is where we part ways, right?" Kim Yong glanced at the two of them standing there awkwardly. Then teased, "What is this? A coming of age romance drama. Want to

cast me in it, too?" Men Jay Hyun pushed her away helplessly. Girls dorms are on the left, boys dorms on the right. Go get some rest already. Suana replied Softly. Then we'll head back first. Men Jay Hyun, make sure you rest well, too. Tomorrow's the first class. See you then. Min Jay Hian returned once more to his dorm room where the air was thick with the stench of mold and the floorboards creaked with every step. All the neglect he had suffered as an incompetent underachiever still lingering in this place. A feeling he hadn't experienced in

a very long time. Early the next morning, students had Already gathered inside the equipment hall. Hello everyone from the magic division. that m y name is Kim Jun and I'll be the lead instructor for mana adaptation fundamentals I watching the instructor on stage men pondered inwardly instructor Kim Jian I don't remember her from my previous life maybe because I was in the marshall division back then I never paid much attention and she also left Milan's academy not long after which wasn't difficult to Understand since being an instructor at Milan's academy was far from Easy. A

fact acknowledged by most awakeners.
