NOVEL NEXT chapter 13
13 – (Correction) How is a person’s specialty…..
I finally defeated the district boss and survived.
Yoo Hye-na’s expression was not bright.
‘…I feel like I’m always getting help from Jihoon.’
It’s been like that since the first zombies came out.
With Jihoon’s help, he barely survived and escaped.
Even when fighting the mid-boss, I only looked from behind.
I tried to make excuses saying that I couldn’t help it, and that even if I stepped in, I would only get in the way.
But that thought was completely shattered when I saw Lee Yu-ri.
‘The swordsmanship of glass…was really amazing.’
Despite being the same age as herself, Lee Yoo-ri shows off her overwhelming strength.
Appearance, ability, and even a strong personality.
There was nothing ahead of me.
Although the two of them were kind enough to tell me it was okay.
I was so ashamed of myself that I couldn’t stand it.
‘I have to help somehow.’
In fact, that was the reason why I chose the job of ‘Best Driver’.
When choosing a job, there was only one job that came to her mind.
‘Uh, what should I do?’
Yoo Hye-na also has a good head.
At once she noticed another career option.
Maybe a better job will come out with time.
But what if I don’t even have a job here?
Wouldn’t it just be a hindrance to the other two?
Maybe it’s even abandoned because it’s useless.
“Uh, what? Did I choose a job?”
In the end, she picked the best driver.
I believed that it would help in some way in the upcoming fight.
However, she fainted at the start of the boss battle.
When I woke up, the boss had already been defeated by the two of us.
‘I want to die…’
Both are fighting fiercely.
I hated myself for only receiving help.
But I couldn’t tease it.
On a subject that is still intrusive.
Because I can’t even make the atmosphere gloomy.
By that time, emotions were gradually building up inside her.
[The trait ‘Inferiority’ has been created!]
[Depending on your choices, this talent can either destroy you or make you stronger!]
‘…..What is this?’
Yoo Hye-na tried to ignore the characteristics that appeared in front of her eyes.
You don’t even have to show it as a message.
Because he knew his condition better than anyone else.
Lee Ji-hoon’s thoughts and evaluations are separate.
She, too, was gradually changing as one of the characters.
Is that a good direction or a bad direction?
It was something only God knew.
****
After wandering around the parking lot, we picked a car and got on.
It was Torres, who was probably riding the faculty.
“It’s a pity it’s not a truck.”
“There is nothing you can do about it.”
Since it is a school parking lot, most of them were cars.
This is the toughest car I’ve ever picked.
I ride in the front passenger seat, and glass is in the back seat.
Needless to say, Hyena sat in the driver’s seat.
“Then, Knight Hyena. Please drive well.”
“Yes! Leave it to me!”
Hyena started driving with a grim expression.
Contrary to the anxious face, the car moved very smoothly.
‘Is this the best driver’s ability?’
Riding feeling like a veteran driver who has only driven for 30 years.
It’s honestly amazing to hear that a childhood friend sitting next to me did it.
‘Looking at this makes me a little regretful that I didn’t choose a job.’
Well, I can’t help it because I can’t think of such a good job.
This is why natural talent is so important.
I swallowed my regret and turned on the status window.

Compared to the first time, the status window is definitely filled with a lot of things.
All stats except magic were over 10.
Attributes and skills have also increased by one.
There are still areas that are lacking.
First of all, there was no direct attack ability at all.
If it’s about zombies, I’ll easily overwhelm them.
You won’t be able to do anything against a strong boss like last time.
‘In the first place, I don’t even have weapons anymore… Ah, that’s right. That was it.’
I suddenly remembered and rummaged through my pockets.
A crumpled piece of paper came out.
＜Item information＞
▶Name: D-class Weapon Summon Ticket
▶Type: Summoning Ticket
▶Rating: D
▶Effect: Summons a D-grade item randomly.
▶Description: A summoning ticket that allows you to draw a D-grade item when used. The type of weapon that comes out is random, and the right to summon will automatically disappear when used.
This is the summoning ticket obtained by killing the last boss.
I was missing the timing to write.
‘How good is D-class?’
The baseball bat I had before was E grade.
It also had some special effects.
A better weapon will come out this time.
“Yuri Lee, can I use this now?”
“Well? What?”
I unfolded it and showed the summon ticket.
Yuri looked around for a while and then nodded.
“Ah, yes. As far as I know, summon tickets can be used regardless of shops.”
Then you can still use it.
Of course, since it’s random, there’s no guarantee that a good weapon will come out.
“The fact that any weapon has a grade means that it contains magical power. Of course, he also has special abilities.”
“Is that different from an ordinary weapon?”
“Not different. For example, even if it’s only a D-class spatula, if you collide with an ordinary sword, the sword will break.”
Whoa, that was better than I thought.
While admiring it, Yuri shrugged her chin and continued.
“By the way, my sword is an S-class weapon.”
“Oh, I see.”
“……Hey, what is that lukewarm reaction?”
No, no matter how S-class it is.
A sword that kills its users at will is a bit like that.
I still remember the feeling of running out of life force.
To be honest, I don’t want to go through it again.
‘Is it because the weapon resembles its owner?’
I did not spit out these words, but swallowed them in my heart.
I think I’ll be 100% angry if Yuri hears it.
“Jihoon, what kind of weapon do you want to come out?”
Hyena, who was driving, asked.
“Okay, so I hope it’s not just a gun.”
“Ahh.”
Memories of weapon selection and zombie raids came to mind.
Hyena shook her head with a disgusted expression.
With this world view, I think I’ll say ‘There are no bullets’ again.
Of course, if there were only bullets, there would be no other weapon like it.
“Or a sword like glass would be nice. It is a standard weapon in fantasy novels.”
Most of the main characters in the web novel used swords.
Most of them are special things like magic swords or holy swords.
I hope that a little bit of such a good weapon will come out.
I tore up the weapon summon ticket.
[You have used the ‘Weapon Summon Ticket’!]
[Summon a D-class weapon at random!]
There was a pop and the summons disappeared.
And an item fell into my hand.
‘This, this?’
＜Item information＞
▶Name: Baseball bat
▶Type: Bat
▶Rating: D
▶Effect: Can use ‘Full Body Blow’
▶Description: A fairly durable aluminum baseball putter.
＜Battle of the whole body＞
-50 mana cost and very powerful attack.
I stared blankly at the same baseball bat I used before.
There was a strange silence in the car.
for a while-
“……Foot.”
“Hey, don’t laugh.”
“Puhahahaha! sorry! I can’t stand it!”
Even Hyena burst into laughter in the end.
The two of them laughed for a while about what was so fun.
‘Oh, this again.’
At least I thought of a sword or a spear.
I don’t know if it’s the first time, but it’s a baseball bat from the summoning right.
Maybe there is something fateful about this.
“How about using it as your main weapon at this point? The last time I saw it, it looked pretty good.”
“Don’t joke.”
A character who uses a baseball bat as a weapon in a zombie film.
No matter how much I think about it, only villains come to mind.
‘Well, I can’t help it.’
It’s true that I killed a lot of zombies with a baseball bat.
As Yuri said, I gradually got used to it.
I don’t have any other weapons, so I have to use this one.
“Oh, it’s a mess here too.”
In the meantime, the car passed through the school gate and came out into the city.
Needless to say, it was a mess there too.
Broken and exploded vehicles.
The corpses of people and monsters littered the floor.
Up to a half-destroyed street.
A landscape that truly shows what an apocalypse is.
“How many survived?”
“10% no, not even 5%.”
Even that was a hopeful observation.
Aren’t there only three of us who survived that big school?
“What if I find a survivor?”
“Ignore it.”
Yuri said firmly.
“I can’t afford to take care of others. There is no guarantee that they will not betray us.”
Did something happen in the past life?
Yu-ri looked very cold when she said that.
As if trying to cut something off.
“Still, it might be useful to us…”
“No, I think Yuri is right too.”
I said, interrupting Hyena in the middle.
“It’s a world where it won’t be strange if a person dies at any time. It is dangerous to trust others in these circumstances.”
Law of the Apocalypse.
People are more dangerous than monsters.
If this is a web novel of the apocalypse genre.
There is no doubt that villains will appear all over the place even for the development of cider.
‘There’s no need to take the risk.’
Of course, since it’s a web novel, there should be additional colleagues.
At least not now, in the beginning.
[Congratulations to all who survived!]
It was then that a message suddenly appeared in the air.
[The first day of destruction is passing safely!]
[The main quest will begin in earnest tomorrow.]
[If you do not clear the quest, you may die, so please be careful!]
[Of course, if you survive tonight!]
“It’s just an irritating way of speaking that is unnecessarily bright and polite.”
“I agree.”
Yuri nodded at my complaint.
[As a congratulation, we will provide a special service for the first day.]
[Probably many people have opened their characteristics and jobs.]
[We will measure and inform you of each person’s potential and specialty, so please refer to it for your growth!]
At the same time as he finished speaking, another message appeared before us.
“Ugh, they say my potential is grade C. My specialty is driving. I knew it, but it was shocking.”
Hyena’s shoulders drooped as she read the message that appeared in front of her eyes.
Hyena, an honor student, must have never seen a grade below a B in her life.
“What level is Yuri’s potential?”
Yuri grinned at Hyena’s question.
“I am in A grade. My specialty is swordsmanship.”
“Uh, that’s right. It would be natural.”
The main character and reincarnation of this novel.
If you put your mind to it, you can even defeat the boss by yourself.
It wasn’t that surprising.
“Jihoon and you?”
“Uh, me? I’m Hyena, the same C grade as you.”
“uh? really?!”
I was more surprised than when Hye-na checked her grade.
Yuri’s eyes also widened.
“Am I not reading it wrong?”
“What are you so surprised about? I’m not as great a prosecutor as anyone else.”
I replied with a slight shrug.
The two of them still looked unconvinced.
“Um, but you did such a great job…”
“I thought it would be at least a B grade, but it’s surprising.”
In response, I smiled.
“It was all luck. The system measured it right.”
“Hmm.”
“It’s not even that important a number in the first place. It’s important to stay alive. To begin with, I’m just a reincarnated person. I’m not a great human who has suffered destruction like you.”
“Well, the evaluation of the system isn’t everything.”
I tried to change the topic and turned off the message.
Although I know what others cannot see.
Still, I was worried because I didn’t know.
[Lee Ji-hoon’s potential is S-class!]
[My specialty is ‘reading web novels’!]
