Chapter 27 - Face Off against Hyun-Soo

As Hyun-Soo, saw that his Fire Bullets had already missed their mark and Hee-Joon had closed the distance, He went again in motion to lend attack.

But it was too late "Too Late!" shouted Hee-Joon as he activated the skill.

Activate "Double Slash"

As the skill got activated, he found himself tired a little bit, as he had already used mana previously in his foot to speed up.

"Heok" cried out, Hyun-Soo, as the double slash landed on him.

Hee-Joon simply stopped the attack without attacking Hyun-Soo as Hyun-Soo had lost the sparing match.

"Thank you", Hee-Joon went towards Hyun-Soo for a handshake, that was a good sparing match.

"I have learned a lot", Hee-Joon continued.

"I agree", Hyun-Soo, Let's meet tomorrow, as he left towards his bag to change up.

Yuan came running towards Hee-Joon, which was a great match, "I didn't know you could run so fast" exclaimed Yuan.

"It was something I decided on the spot after channeling my mana in the foot to speed up", He said, As I was not getting the position to go close combat, I had to use this.

"But it is too risky to use in unfamiliar situations, as it consumes too much mana", replied Hee-Joon.

Yuan then continued, ok then "See you for today, will meet tomorrow during the test", and left the training hall.

As Hee-Joon saw, Yuan walking out from the room, he suddenly remembered the notification he had received during the combat. Hee-Joon opened the status window,

---------------------------

---------------------------

Hee-Joon, then blurted out, open the skill page.

--------------------------------------

As he closed the status window, Hee-Joon got excited that within the past few days, not only he had received various quests to level up, he had received new skills based on combat like Double Slash and Blade Fury and now it was Flash.

Hee-Joon then checked his store option on the status page to see if had received any Gold for learning the skill, as he wondered if for any growth he will get, will he receive gold coins.

He saw that he had received 50 gold for learning the new skill, as he closed the status window page. He then after changing to his clothes from training satire, left for home, knowing he had to properly rest and build the Mana he had consumed for tomorrow's test.

Hee-Joon received 50 golds for learning the new skill Flash, so he wanted to check out the store if he could buy some potions from it, As He went through the store, His eyes wandered over the various potions on display, their prices escalating as he scanned the shelves. Frowning, he realized that even the cheapest potion started at 1000 gold, far beyond his current budget.

Curiosity getting the better of him, Hee-Joon's gaze fell upon a locked potion, its price tag reading a staggering 10 million gold coins. Intrigued by its secrecy and the absence of any description, he couldn't help but wonder aloud,

"What could this potion possibly offer to warrant such an exorbitant price? Could it grant another awakening power or even bring someone back from the dead?"

"Welp!, I can't buy anything today I guess" as he closed his status page.

After changing his training gear, Hee-Joon moved out of the room and headed to his home, He hurried back home, as he had to get ready for the coming test.

It was finally the day when Hee-Joon would give the test for his Hunter License along with other aspiring hunters. It was 8 in the morning and the test would commence early, The air was thick with anticipation as they gathered in a spacious hall, each individual filled with a mix of excitement and nerves.

The hall echoed with hushed conversations and the shuffling of feet, everyone preparing themselves for the upcoming challenge.

He spotted his friend Hyun-Soo amidst the people and walked over to join him.

"Hey buddy, can you believe it's final test day?" Hee-Joon exclaimed, trying to alleviate the tension in the air.

"Yes, finally" Hyun-Soo nodded in agreement.

He also spotted Yuan, whom he met during combat training, as they all waited for officials to show up.

Finally, the officials arrived, and Mr. Kim, whom everyone had grown familiar with during their training, stepped forward to address the trainees.

He cleared his throat and began, "Today, we will commence the exams for the students."

Mr. Kim continued addressing everyone "Those of you who have selected multiple courses during your training will have exams scheduled one week apart starting the first test today. It is important to ensure that you have enough rest after completing each test to perform at your best."

"On the other hand, those who have chosen only one course will receive their license today itself based on their performance" Mr. Kim continued.

Mr. Kim continued, "We have set up a multiple helpdesks here for each available role." You can check for more details on your tests there.

Mr. Kim continued, "For evaluating Porters, miners, and excavation trainees, you all will be placed in various guilds or small parties which will have raids across the city"

"Your task will be to accompany the guilds and help their specialized teams, and upon completing the raid, based on your assigned tasks by the guild and score, you will be evaluated"

"This will allow us to evaluate their abilities and performance within the guild's respective teams." Mr. Kim then concluded.

One of the trainees raised their hand and asked, "Mr. Kim, how will we be assigned to specific guilds or parties? Will it be based on our individual preferences or will it be determined by our instructors?"

"No, It will solely be decided by the faculty and based on that you will join the party" Mr. Kim nodded, acknowledging the question and answered.

Then after concluding his introduction for the tests, he said

"Everyone, Go to your respective field Helpdesk for taking the test"
