Transcension Academy

cension Academy lectures had a tremendous effect, but it was a little over a month since Seo-joon started the lectures and the only person he fought with was Seo-yoon.

However, after dealing with Jang Deok-cheol now, Seo-joon was able to realize his skills properly.

‘Let’s see if I can avoid this!’

At that moment, a tremendous amount of momentum weighed on Seo-joon.
It was an attack with terrifying power that Seo-joon could have avoided but he didn’t.

Seo-joon grabbed the iron bar and looked at the incoming attack with his eyes raised straight.

He took a step and crooked his waist but his movements connected naturally like water flowing then he swung his iron bar.

“Ha! You’re going to fight me with strength?”

Jang Deok-cheol snorted at Seo-joon, since his trademark was power.

Jang Deok-cheol, who had overwhelming power compared to the other students, was confident that he was even better than Lee Jun-hwan when it came to pure strength.

‘You’re going to fight with me?’

Jang Deok-cheol put all his energy into the attack but the result was that his axe was flung away.

“What?”

Jang Deok-cheol couldn’t understand the situation since his hand was broken and his axe was stuck in the ground in the distance.

< The winner is Kim Seo-joon of Dream Academy!>

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

It was only after the cheers of the audience and the host’s words were heard that he realized he was defeated.

I… I lost? In a strength competition?

Jang Deok-cheol looked at the person who defeated him with a shocked expression.

Seo-joon held an iron bar with a calm expression but for some reason his expression didn’t look very good.

‘It didn’t go up as much as I thought…’

After the winner was announced Seo-yoon was deafened for a moment by the shouts of the crowd.
It was a fight that they never thought they’d see in the fourth division so it was worth seeing and the shouting that made her head ring continued.

On the contrary, however, the place, where the scouts were gathered, was almost like a library production.

“…”

“…”

“What? What was that just now?”

It was none other than someone’s dumb question that broke the silence.

“Huh? Didn’t you see it?”

“Huh? Uh, uh.”

“Give me your professional hunter license right away.
I’ll tear it up.”

“I was spacing out for a second!”

Because of the quiet surroundings, the conversation between the two could be heard by everyone.

Of course, they were buried by the cheers of the crowd, but all the people gathered here were professional hunters.
The shouts of the audience didn’t shield them.

Therefore, those who talked were also professional hunters, and no matter how much they spaced out, it was incomprehensible that a professional hunter missed the moment but no one blamed him.

“I’m going to tear up my license.” The man joked and said while looking at the electronic display.

“Student Kim Seo-joon is…amazing.”

“Really? It’s amazing that he beat Jang Deok-cheol, but it’s not enough for you to make that evaluation, is it?”

“If it was simply beating Jang Deok-cheol, it wouldn’t be.”

“Simply?”

The man answered with a nod.

“Usually, I don’t recommend long weapons to students at first because at their level, they can’t use it properly but what he did…”

“Are you saying he knew?”

“That’s right.
Students don’t know the advantages of their weapon but it’s mostly because they don’t know how to use their strength, since it’s not easy to cover up that shortcoming as a student.”

People around him focused on the man’s words since it was a more detailed evaluation than expected.

“But Kim Seo-joon clearly recognized the advantages of the rod and used it properly.
He even seemed to know exactly how long the rod range was.”

“That’s why his hit was perfect.”

The man nodded and continued.

“Of course, the destructive power was insufficient because he couldn’t use mana but it was probably crazy for Jang Deok-cheol, who was dealing with him since his attacks were easily avoided and when he stopped to catch his breath, student Kim Seo-joon would attack him.

The man turned to the electronic display again and said,

“At the end it was definitely a strength contest.
I don’t know why Kim Seo-joon suddenly made that choice.
To be honest, I thought Kim Seo-joon would use a long-term battle of attrition to make Jang Deok-cheol lose his strength.”

The majority of people listening to the man nodded softly.

“However, Kim Seo-joon suddenly fought head on with Jang Deok-cheol and I thought, “As expected, a student is still a student.” Although he’s talented he lacks experience but he showed an overwhelming power against Jang Deok-cheol.”

“That’s…”

“It would be possible if I used my power but Kim Seo-joon didn’t use any mana.”

“…Does that make sense?”

“Isn’t everyone making that face because it’s not making sense?”

The woman, who was still listening to the man, slowly looked around and everywhere people were surprised and embarrassed.

The woman turned again and said to the man.

“Anyway, does it mean that what he showed in the first round of competition is not just luck? Do you think Kim Seo-joon will win?”

“Probably? But if you ask me if I think he’ll beat Lee Jun-hwan, my answer is…No.”

“What? What do you mean by that? Oh, the score.”

“If Lee Jun-hwan had come in second during the first competition, it would have been quite fun.”

The two then changed the subject and talked about something else.

Seo-yoon also lost interest in the two and looked at the electronic display.

‘Did you get hurt?’

She didn’t know why but Seo-joon’s expression did not look very good.
