Round 2 Starts With 990,000 Points

29 – Fertilization (2)

What was his name?

Looking at the name tag, I belatedly remembered the name.

“Who are you… Ah, Park Jung-pal.”

At that moment, Park Jeong-pal’s face turned red like a pimple.

What the f*ck.

What’s wrong with this bastard?

“You… You didn’t even know my name?”

Park Jeong-pal’s face trembled as if he was very shocked by that fact.

“You may not know.”

“What crazy!”

He swung his fists without warning as if he was very angry.

Look at this guy.

The distance was narrow, so there was no angle to dodge, but I dodged his fist as if I brushed through it. As he narrowly avoided it, he seemed to get even more feverish, and he swung his fists in succession.

“You bastard! That’s right! Get it right!”

But I’m not the one who will greet you calmly just because you swing it. I dodged his punches, kicked him in the shin, and immediately slapped him on the cheek like a fly swatter.

Boom!

There was a popping sound instead of the normal hitting sound.

Blood jumped out and Park Jeong-pal’s head turned to the limit.

“… Uh.”

I thought about him while he was unconscious for a moment, and belatedly realized how things were going.

“Ah, now I know. The chestnut, the big, and the gourd are your friends.”

“… ….”

“Wow, this is how it goes?”

I was so dumbfounded that I clicked my tongue, but Park Jeong-pal spat bloody saliva and then took out his armament.

His armament was a spear.

“You are dead. Primitive baby. I have to be moderate. Dare.”

“How dare you.”

Park Jeong-pal immediately stretched out his left foot and swung his spear down. He seems to have quite a knack for spears, judging from the way he flies through the air.

I moved half a step to the side to avoid his attack, and at the end of the void, I stomped on the spear that only hit the floor with my foot.

Hook.

As he stands stepping on the spear pole with his center of gravity fixed on one foot, his spear sticks to the floor and does not move.

“Let go! Let go of this! f*ck you!”

As expected, cadets are cadets. In this case, you should immediately throw away the spear and switch to another weapon to attack, but the guy stupidly holds on to the spearhead.

If you can’t do it, shouldn’t you come swinging his fist at least?

“It’s really sloppy.”

This is not a difference in ability or talent.

It is the difference in actual experience.

Park Jeong-pal, who is ranked 9th in the cadet ranking, has Choi Ji-seong, Han Cheol-woo, Yoo Seong-won, Ha Yeon-si, Uyuna, Ko Soo-young… Other than that, it is absolutely inferior to some of the cadets, but it clearly has useful abilities.

This is why you should be calm when fighting. Tsk.

I, who had been stepping on the window sill until then, took my foot off the window sill.

Wheek.

Then, with the reactionary force that was giving the force, the spear pole returned and hit Park Jeong-pal in the nose.

Paak!

There was a crashing sound and nosebleeds surged.

It was double nosebleeds.

“Kyaaah!”

I looked around and saw three cadets who hadn’t left the lab yet, staring at us.

Park Jeong-pal was overly angry, perhaps conscious of that gaze belatedly.

“You, you really died today. Me, me and you….”

He threatened, frowning like crumpled paper, but I read the trembling in his voice.

Those who lack practical experience sometimes tend to feel fear so severely.

When an actual battle happens, there is only death or victory, but they don’t think about winning, they start thinking about getting out of the situation.

Perhaps he was intimidated by his inexperience.

“The butterfly effect is really amazing….”

I didn’t dare to attack and approached him who was standing awkwardly.

Debating whether to let me go quietly or hit me, I made up my mind to make a judgment.

Puck.

As a judge strikes down the top of his head with his fist, he makes a strange sound without much resistance.

“Kpeeppeep!”

Tattang. Execution.

Park Jeong-pal fell down and could not get up.

No way… I wanted to put my hand on my philtrum, but luckily I was breathing.

It’s better to be sure though.

I spoke to the three cadets who were watching the fight.

“This is self-defense. Park Jeong-pal struck first. Did you guys see it too?”

The cadets nodded in dismay.

“Uh, uh, yes.”

“Ugh, yes. Saw.”

“Ugh.”

I rummaged through Park Jeong-pal’s belongings while I was away.

The wallet came out, but it was quite thick.

“Why is this kid carrying so much cash?”

Then it belatedly reminded me that I was ripping off money.

Ah, you got so much cash from other cadets’ money.

Originally, I was going to take just a little bit, but I thought I could take it all.

I took all the cash out of my wallet and gave one-fifth of it to the three cadets.

“You guys haven’t seen anything today. Got it?”

It’s best to keep things like this quiet. This is because it has a negative effect on point acquisition in the long run.

“Ugh, yes.”

“Ugh.”

“Even, you don’t have to give me money….”

“No. Receive. Now.”

It was time to stand up after receiving a definite answer from them.

Suddenly, the words of light appeared in front of my eyes.

[Hidden surprise achievement: ‘Brawler 1’ achieved!]

[You get additional stats as an achievement reward.]

[Additional Ability Strength + 2]

“Hmm.”

Were there any unexpected achievements like this?

I thought I would achieve the hidden achievement Conquer Delinquents 2, but it turned out to be unexpected.

Is this because of the butterfly effect?

Or is it because of the difference in circumstances?

Still, it’s not too bad since I received the ability as a reward.

* * *

Park Jeong-pal.

As the second son of the Dawn Lion Guild, one of the top 10 guilds in Korea, he looked down on Ymir.

So at first I mocked him in front of my friends and until recently I didn’t see him as a match for me.

Even if you hit it high, it’s about the tip of your toe.

‘A primitive man who can’t even use weapons.’

It was the same when I heard rumors that Ymir had solved an unexpected incident that occurred in the dungeon practice. He thought it was a rumor just like the other cadets.

That was a very common sense idea.

Suddenly, the admissions ranking rose from 280th to 120th.

In such a state, it was impossible to kill a monster class monster that appeared out of nowhere during practice.

Did you suddenly eat a bowl of level-up candy?

There is very little if there is no probability between events.

‘I heard that I’m a beggar who got some word-of-mouth by luck?’

In the meantime, Park Jeong-pal was as useful as his twisted personality.

People often compare their abilities with those of others when their abilities are useful.

And I feel bad when someone I thought was less capable than myself became more popular than I was.

It is more so when such a person receives recognition from those around him rather than himself.

Somehow, they try to put a reason behind them, criticize them, and bring them down.

Instinctive envy of people.

Even if they have nothing to do with their lives, once a person who seems to be inferior to them rises up, they are frantic in slandering and bringing them down.

In particular, Park Jeong-pal was a decent talent who ranked 9th in the admissions ranking, but he had a strong inferiority complex about his ability.

This is because all the people around him who are the targets of comparison are non-standard beings.

Choi Ji-seong, Han Cheol-woo, Yoo Seong-won, Ha Yeon-si, Uyuna… It is said that even Mo Ye-ji, a special talent with poor actual combat ability, is stronger than himself.

Even according to the academy’s AI evaluation, even Ko Soo-yeong, who sleeps every day, is saying crazy things about her fighting ability being stronger than herself.

In the midst of this, Park Jeong-pal could not tolerate the existence of Ymir coming up from below. Even though he was fierce-eyed, he was too fierce.

‘It’s a happy corporation to live by the fountain. The guy who doesn’t even know the stakes.’

I have to admit that the world is wide and that someone superior to me can emerge at any time, but he is still too young to admit that.

In addition, he had a strong tendency toward the South.

So, despite his friends’ dissuades, he acted according to his instincts.

“Hey. Primitive man.”

Ymir reacted as he went outside.

“I heard you ripped off my friends? Kid.”

Ymir turned her head.

The two met eyes.

At that moment, Ymir looked at his name tag and said.

“Who are you… Ah, Park Jung-pal.”

In that moment, Park Jeong-pal was really angry.

The other person doesn’t even know his name!

‘Have you seen such a crazy bastard?’

It shouldn’t be like this.

He is ranked ninth among first-year cadets.

He himself is Choi Ji-seong, Han Cheol-woo, Yu Seong-won, Ha Yeon-si, Uyuna, Mo Ye-ji… Even if it is not, it is definitely not an existence that will be ignored by the 120th rank of the cadets.

Even the presence in front of his eyes was the guy who was ranked 280 a while ago.

It is right that cadets ranked 120th and 280th should servilely smile at the sight of themselves.

Now Ymir dares to challenge his authority.

“What crazy!”

So I unknowingly threw a fist.

It was an unconsciously outstretched fist, but the fist filled with anger was by no means light.

But Ymir easily dodged the fist.

And she has fought back.

“… ….”

My memory is hazy since I was slapped for the first time like that.

I took out my arms and tried to attack with a spear, but I couldn’t attack properly and was beaten.

And she passed out at the end she was hit on the top of the head.

“… ….”

When I opened my eyes, I saw three cadets staring at me.

“…… This. What, uh….”

As the memory gradually comes to mind, the things before I lost consciousness come to mind.

Park Jeong-pal was so miserable that he felt like crying.

‘… I want to die.’

As I trudged up, the three cadets said “Uhh” And retreated.

Park Jung-pal knows.

That they are herbivores.

And he himself is a carnivore.

No, they were carnivores until just now.

A carnivore defeated by a herbivore… If that rumor spreads, how much will it be ridiculed?

“… I know you will die if you go around spreading rumors.”

He said that to the cadets and left the training ground.

For some reason, it sounded like he was laughing at himself from behind.

* * *

It is 7:00 PM when we finish dinner and arrive at the dormitory.

If it was usual, I would have made time to visit the training ground, but today I have work to do.

[Notice of Reading Circle…. This is the OT schedule guide. The schedule is this Saturday…….]

As much as the OT schedule of the reading circle has been set, you should prepare for it.

Just in time, I received a 30 million won worth of blacksmithing ticket for the Association as a reward.

I turned on my computer and connected to the Association Blacksmith Market site run by the Hero Association.
