I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 31



Chapter 31 - Dungeon Clearing Contest (1)

“Dungeon Clearing Contest?”

Seo-jun tilted his head and checked Seo-yoon's smartphone closely.

It was an article, with the title and details listed below.

Instead of reading the article thoroughly, Seo-joon checked the brief summary of the information.

『< The 24th Dungeon Clearing Contest. >

-Content: Dungeon Raid designated by jurisdiction.

-Participation Eligibility: Government-certified Hunter Academy students.

- Application period: 15 days from the date of posting this notice.

-Evaluation Criteria: The number of dungeons completed within the period.

-Winning prize: 300000000 ?』

Seo-joon twice and three times. I read the summary information.

However, as expected, the summary was a summary, so I could only grasp the rough information, but I couldn't find out the details.

If you read the long text below it, you will know the details, but I checked it a little bit.

Useless stories such as who held it, where it was, and what it did were written here and there.

“What is this?”

So Seo-jun decided to just ask Seo-yoon.

Seoyoon replied by bringing back the smartphone she had seen.

“Well, to put it simply, it's like some kind of competition to clear untreated dungeons.”

“A contest to clear untreated dungeons?”

Seoyoon nodded and explained a little more in detail.

Now is the time to become a dog or a cow or an awakened person.

To be precise, the era where you can become an Awakener if you have money.

Accordingly, the number of hunters continued to increase along with those who aspired to become hunters.

However, with the end of the cataclysm, the number of monsters and dungeons decreased, and the endlessly increasing number of hunters continued to be unable to work even after becoming hunters.

In the end, the government decided that it was necessary to control the number of hunters.

Along with the pro hunter exam, a system called pro hunter certification will be introduced.

This was the background to the birth of a new industry called Hunter Academy, but anyway.

According to the government's policy, the number of new professional hunters began to decrease and stabilize.

However, considering the existing hunters, it was safe to say that the number of professional hunters in Korea was practically saturated.

And there is one really ironic problem that arises here.

The number of professional hunters was saturated, but not all dungeons were raided on time.

What do you mean by this?

“Anyway, I don’t want to raid dungeons that don’t make money.”

“Ah... well, that's right.” It meant that professional hunters would only raid dungeons that made money.

As can be seen from the word pro hunter, the current hunter is actually recognized as a job.

While the Awakeners of the Cataclysm era had a sense of mission or conviction, today's professional hunters only pursue gain.

That's why people separate the Awakeners of the cataclysm from the current professional hunters and call them heroes.

In any case, the current reality was that no one touched dungeons that did not make money.

And dungeons that are not raided break down over time and pour monsters out of the dungeon.

The dungeon where the break occurred does not disappear, but remains there, and over time, the monsters pour out of the dungeon again.

this keeps repeating.

Of course, in general, the lower the grade and the more difficult it is to attack, the stronger the tendency, so there was no big problem even if the break occurred.

However, even such a monster was a threat to the common people, and the government had an obligation to deal with it.

So, at first, there was a public servant hunter who was in charge of this job.

However, it was difficult to handle all the dungeons across the country.

Above all, they are civil servant hunters, but in the end they were also professional hunters.

They were talented people who passed through difficult exams, and it would be inefficient in many ways to waste that manpower in just such a place.

In the end, the government had to come up with a different method, and it was adopted at the end.

“This is a dungeon clearing contest.”

“Exactly.”

At Seojun's words, Seoyoon nodded a couple of times.

After all, the intention of this contest was simple.

Even though it was a low-level dungeon, I couldn't let it go, so I had to deal with it.

However, if you try to deal with it, it will only be like killing chickens with a knife to slaughter a cow.

Most of the untreated dungeons were dungeons that could be handled at the level of students.

Then, if there is a cost involved in processing this or that, let's rather put that cost as a prize money and leave it to the students.

Anyway, the number of academy students is still overflowing.

In addition, it is reflected in the Academy evaluation factors. If you just mix the words, wouldn't it take care of it on its own?

“Really... I don't know who it is, but you've got good brains.”

Seojun shook his head.

“It is a reality that we have no choice but to suffer even though we know it. Still, I think Seo-Jun can win the championship. How are you?”

At Seoyoon's question, Seojun thought for a moment.

‘300 million...'

First of all, 300 million won.

The more money there is, the better the situation. 300 million won was a prize with sufficient merit.

And since this is the result of Seo-joon's efforts, it will probably be fully reflected in the causality of the transcendent academy.

In addition, since the contest itself was a dungeon sweep, it was possible to raise the progress rate of the lecture while conducting the raid.

Even thinking about it for a bit, there was nothing that could harm Seo-joon.

In a word, the dungeon clearing contest was filled with only the essential elements for Seo-joon now.

Thinking this far, Seo-jun lowered his gaze slightly to look at Seo-yoon.

Even though she didn't ask for it, Seoyoon wholeheartedly helped her.

It was clear that he had probably been searching all over the place on his own to find this information.

I don't know if it's because of Seoyoon's feeling sorry for Seojun, but Seojun was still grateful to Seoyoon.

The first meeting of the two started with a relationship where each other used each other.

However, in the gap, now we become a kind of will to each other.

Seo-jun was to Seo-yoon, and Seo-yoon was the best partner for Seo-jun.

“great. I will compete.”

“I knew you would. Then I’ll put in the application right away.”

Seeing Seo-jun answer with a smile, Seo-yoon smiled brightly and manipulated her smartphone again.

Since he decided to participate in the contest, Seo-joon needed to prepare.

It was because he knew that he shouldn't just think easily as he experienced the last academy contest.

Of course, it was because there was a variable called Lee Jun-hwan, but this time, we don't know when, where, and what kind of variable there will be.

Seo-joon wanted to win for sure this time, so he took the transcendent lecture more diligently than usual.

[Intuition is actually a realm of thinking, not sensation. We instinctively think and judge information received through our five senses, but intuition is what we feel when our reason does not understand the processing process.] [

We just ‘misunderstand' that it is a sense. In a word, keep in mind that intuition is not a sense that does not exist, but a thought that exists.]

Ah... I see.

[For those of you who have followed me this far, it can be said that you have some basic knowledge of spears. So today, Rannachal is called the basics of spearmanship. I will tell you about these three things.]

[Of course, the reverse divergence spearmanship I teach is not a herbivorous spearmanship. Kids like you have a long way to go before learning herbivore, so if there are people who are looking forward to it, wake up right away. It's literally about the shape of a spear, so hit it right away. Now first...]

Is this how you do it?

[Mana is the essence that makes up existence. In that sense, mana could also be defined as vitality. Hmm... If you think about it, this is also an interesting thesis.]

[If you look at it this way, you can say that it is not about realizing imagination into reality, but about giving vitality to what is only imagination. If that's the case, Mana...]

... How come he seems to be more insane than Shakyamuni?

Seo-joon faithfully attended the transcendentalist lecture.

You're working hard. I still don't know what you're doing.

Of course, from Seoyoon's point of view, she was just staring blankly at her smartphone screen.

Haha...

Seojun smiled awkwardly.

Then, when I was going to listen to the lecture again. Seo-joon asked out of curiosity.

Come to think of it, Mr. Seo Yoon. How does the contest work?”

“Oh. I forgot to tell you something really important.”

Seoyoon continued as if she had forgotten.

“When a contest starts, the government sends a list of dungeons to the contestants. Then participants can check the list, reserve the dungeon they want to raid, and raid.”

“How do I make a reservation?”

“It’s an app. However, you must make a reservation and complete the dungeon within 10 hours. Otherwise, the reservation will be automatically canceled.”

“It means it’s forbidden to pierce.”

Seoyoon nodded.

In a word, the main evaluation factor is how quickly and how many dungeons are ‘cleared'.

“Speed is life.”

“yes. That’s why, as a joke, they say that the price of gas is higher.”

Hearing Seoyoon's words as a joke, Seojun slowly opened his mouth.

“It would be difficult to do this…”

“Yes? What are you talking about?”

“You have to do dungeon raids and dispose of corpses. But if speed is life... well.”

Then, Seoyoon seemed to ask what she was talking about.

“yes? no. The body is not treated. As I said, the money coming out of the corpse is not much.”

Then Seoyoon suddenly grasped the meaning of Seojun's words and asked with a hopeless heart.

“Oh no. wait a minute. Did you mean to dispose of the corpse yourself this time?”

Then Seojun tilted his head and answered.

“Didn’t there be a saying that it was against the rules?”

Seoyoon felt like going out of the country for the first time in a while.

“No, how much does that...!”

“It’s pretty big when you get together and get together. Why do you throw away those precious things?”

In fact, he would be the same, and the money Seo-joon needed wasn't just money.

It had to be the money that Seo-joon earned himself, not simply borrowing or taking out a loan from someone.

And for Seo-joon, who was still a student, there weren't many ways to earn that kind of money.

In that sense, Seo-joon could not miss not only the winning prize money but also the profit earned from the corpse.

“But you have to win to get the prize money!”

“That's why I said it was difficult.”

Seoyoon shook her head as if she was getting sick of it.

Seeing Seo-yoon like that, Seo-joon shed a smile.

Even if I said that, I had no intention of insisting on it if it didn't work out.

After all, the important thing was the winning prize.

“hmm?”

And when your thoughts get this far.

“wait a minute. What exactly are the rules?”

Seojun came up with a pretty good idea.

Seo-joon returns home.

Seo-joon lay down on the cramped bed and took out his smartphone.

Normally, I would go straight to the transcendent academy to listen to the lectures, but not today.

Seo-joon looked through the phone book, not the transcendent academy, and called someone.

The sound of the call that followed.

-What are you doing all of a sudden?

And not long after, the voice that came out was none other than Mancheol.

Seo-joon welcomed Man-cheol's voice after a long time.

“What is it? If anyone sees you, you talk like someone I've never contacted.”

- Sea Pearl. I know you well.

“haha. It's been a while since I heard that, isn't it nice?”

- Pestilence.

As expected, the appearance of Mancheol has not changed.

For some reason, Seo-joon's smile kept leaking out without even realizing it.

-so. why did you call

“It's nothing else, Mr. Won't you work with me?”

-Day? What happened?

In response to Man-cheol's question mark, Seo-joon explained the issues related to the contest in detail.

Mancheol slowly opened his mouth after hearing Seojun's explanation.

-So, in that contest or something, please carry the corpses of the monsters you raid? As your driver?

“Uh… to sum it up briefly? Of course, we take care of the fee. I do the exact transportation, but I do the dismantling work. As you know, it takes up all your time there.”

It is also true that transportation was meaningful in itself, but in fact, disassembly was the most important.

If it was simple transport, there was little reason for hunters to pay expensive fees and use a transport company.

However, the disassembly work of extracting and extracting money from the monster corpse was absolutely necessary, and it required quite a bit of skill.

Man-cheol, seen by Seo-joon, is almost at the level of an expert.

Above all, the trust that you can trust and entrust anything if it is full also played a role.

“Even if the price of the corpse is not much, it will be great to eat it with me.”

-Hmm...

Mancheol thought for a while before replying.

-The proposal is not bad, but the question is, can the two of us handle it? They say speed is life. If you're doing it just to take care of me, there's no need for that.

Mancheol refuses.

In fact, it was the answer I was expecting. Man-cheol, whom Seo-joon had seen, had always only helped Seo-joon.

So now it's okay to pretend you don't know.

Seo-joon opened his mouth with a laugh that leaked out involuntarily.

“no. It's because I really need an uncle. The winning prize is also a prize, but I also need the profit from the corpse. Also, since they are low-level monsters, you and I will do it right away, right?”

Of course, there was nothing more stupid than missing out on the prize money for corpse profits.

However, with Mancheol's help, it was possible to collect the profits from the corpse along with the prize money.

If you can take care of both, what is the reason for giving up?

-Is it really like that?

“yes. Really.”

-If that's the case... I'm fine.

Then, Man-cheol accepts as if he can't win.

Even if he said that, he was just grateful to Seo-joon and Man-cheol for taking care of him in this way.

-So you can play soccer with a lich skull?

“I don’t know about the lich, but there must be a skeleton. How would you like to play foot volleyball?”

- Pestilence.

The two of them joked and giggled for a long time.

Time passed quickly again, and it was the day of the contest.

While waiting for the full season in front of Dream Academy, Seo-joon briefly checked the progress of the lecture on his smartphone.

< Chiron lecture progress rate 49.9% >

< Sakyamuni lecture progress rate 14.5% >

< Hangwu lecture progress rate 61.7% >

< Merlin lecture progress rate 9.9% >

One strange thing was that the progress of Chiron and Merlin's lecture stopped there.

Considering that certain changes are seen every 10%, Seo-Jun thinks that maybe something else is needed.

Especially considering that he was able to deal with Orusode when the progress rate of the Xiang Yu River exceeded 50%, 50% seemed to be something different.

Seo-joon put the smartphone back into his arms.

At that time, Seoyoon, who was next to him, said to Seojun with a nervous expression.

“Seojun. Did you install the app?”

“yes. I checked everything I needed yesterday.”

However, Seoyoon told Seojun once again that she was still worried.

“In case you don’t know, let me explain the rules again. The contest runs for a week, and don't forget to reserve the dungeon through the app. And that there is only one reservation. To reserve the next dungeon, you must complete the dungeon raid before you can reserve the next one. And again...”

Seoyoon then continued talking about the contest rules.

Seoyoon's explanation ended like that.

Now, it was a situation where we started as soon as the full season arrived.

“Maybe you can’t find it?”

I asked Seo-jun if he was worried about Seo-yoon.

That's also because Dream Academy is in a pretty remote place.

However, Seojun shook his head and replied.

“That won’t be it. The man is really looking for a way. I'm not kidding, just looking at the ability to find the way, it's not as good as the swordsman, right?”

“is it so? You didn't look like that when I saw you then...”

“You have a charm different from your appearance.”

Seojun smiled.

And after some time

“Ah, you're here just in time. Mister! Here!”

The figure of Mancheol could be seen in the distance.
