Academy Dropout Is Too Strong

24. Training Dungeon (2)

Student Union Building Vice President’s Office.

From nob le mt l. co m

Lee Chung took care of the paperwork that needed to be paid within today, one by one.

Although she was an executive at the school, it was the same as being a student listening to the professor’s lecture.

Even if I had time, I had no time to play because I was so absorbed in student council work.

At least, she stopped for a moment only when her assistant, Eliana Andersen, stopped by.

It was like that this time too.

kiik-

When the elf counselor brought a tray with coffee and tea on top, Lee Cheong said with delight.

“Ah, thank you.”

Naturally, she took a cup of coffee, took a sip, and exclaimed.

“… … After all, I need caffeine to live.”

Not so bright expression and voice.

Lee Chung narrowed his eyes and looked at the pile of papers on the table like a mountain.

… … How many tens of minutes or how many hours would I have to sit down to finish all of this?

No matter how superhuman he was, he was not at all happy with this kind of simple labor.

Quickly recognizing Lee Chung’s attitude, Eliana thought of several subjects she might like, and chose one of them.

“Come to think of it, it’s the midterm exam period soon.”

“… … That time has already come.”

“I know that the vice-president will dominate all subjects this time, so why are you so mean?”

“But I always hate exams.”

After answering that, Lee Chung wrinkled his pretty face even more and took the papers off the desk.

Eliana, who unknowingly fired at her, soon regained her senses and changed the subject.

“Hmmm, by the way, do you know that?”

“huh? what?”

“The ecology professor took the first year cadets to the dungeon before the midterm exam.”

“Hey, that training dungeon.”

“And they said that today is the day that class 3 will enter.”

At that moment, Li Qing stopped moving his hand that had been diligently moving until now.

Suddenly, she raised her head and met Eliana’s gaze.

A smile that couldn’t be hidden, an expression of interest appeared on Lee Cheong’s face.

“Oh yeah?”

“Yes, I heard that all the cadets from Class 3 participated without any absentees.”

“Then Kang-joon would have entered too. Oh, if I have time, I’ll go see it too.”

Eliana, the assistant, tilted her head at the sight of the vice-president, who had started whining for a different reason.

She was the one who brought up the story, but still didn’t know why Lee Chung was interested in the man.

Her face was somewhat smooth, but it probably wasn’t because of that.

‘Let’s ask a question once the topic has been brought up.’

How highly does the esteemed Vice President rate the cadet Choi Kang-Jun?

Suddenly curious, Eliana asked Lee Chung, who was looking straight at her.

“Then what do you think of the results?”

“huh? result?”

“Who gets to the exit first. You know because we’ve done it, don’t you?”

How tough the first training dungeon was.

Of course, the vice-president in front of me passed lightly, but the story was different for the other cadets.

According to each cadet’s ability, the record would be divided into thousands of degrees, and Eliana was referring to Choi Kang-jun’s record for him.

“Ah, who will escape the fastest?”

Lee Chung, who recognized him, just shook his head with a smile on his face.

Eliana continued to add to the story.

“In Class 3 Sura-do, there are not only cadet Choi Kang-jun, but also the young leader of the Protestant religion, and my younger brother, who is called the pride of the elves. How many minutes, no, how many do you expect him to do?”

“Hey, Eliana. If possible, you should talk about what to compare properly. Huh, rank number.”

“Um, is that so?”

Although he had risen to a higher level a while ago, isn’t it still comparable to a small school master?

The moment Eliana tried to think involuntarily.

Lee Chung looked at her with a mocking expression as he spoke.

“It’s only natural that you’re first.”

our Kangjun.

***

The training dungeon is divided into 5 stages and is full of various traps and monsters.

Because it was a demon designed to trick the cadets in many ways, it was probably a more difficult task to overcome the skill gap than regular sparring.

Even more so if you have to compete with Cheon Yu-ha to break the record.

‘If you look at his usual behavior, he’s an idiot, but he’s still a genius in his own right.’

Just looking at the results of his previous life, Tadano Ansassha, the damned assassin, came in third.

As an elven archer, Eleanor, who is good at disarming traps and fighting, is in second place.

And Chun Yu-ha was the first to pass the dungeon with an overwhelming record.

Most of the traps were useless, and the battle with the monster would have been overwhelming.

Also, I had to acknowledge the sense of the guy when he went into battle.

Dungeons were no exception.

She will attack this place in the most efficient way she thinks.

‘It will surely pass quickly.’

From the beginning, breaking the dungeon record like this is a fight against me with a remarkably low spec.

But when was it not?

Since living my last life, I have always been at a damn disadvantage and have overcome it.

Even now, he is at the level of his previous life, and he has already experienced it.

I knew what this dungeon was like.

In some ways, if I, who is in an advantageous position, passes through later than Cheon Yu-ha, who first came to the dungeon.

Of course it could be, but

‘It’s going to be embarrassingly embarrassing.’

At least I’ll set a record I’m not ashamed of.

Committing again, I finally moved on.

As soon as I stepped on the starting line on the floor, an ominous sound resounded.

Stage 1, arrow hell.

A crossbow hidden in the wall popped out and fired an arrow coated with paralysis poison.

druk-druk-

It was even a barrage.

It would be stable to move forward while dodging one by one, but that was not enough.

‘Piercing to the extreme limit.’

I didn’t dodge, I moved forward.

I stretched out my hand, keeping an eye on the arrows that were about to pierce my arms and legs.

Kwajik-!

I caught the flying arrow shaft.

In the meantime, I took a step forward.

Every time I went to a certain point, a crossbow suddenly popped out from the walls and ceiling, but it didn’t stop.

Quad Deuk-!

He broke the arrow in front of him, and when Jeong felt dizzy, he threw an arrow shaft in his hand at the flying arrow and shot it down.

It broke, threw, and ran without even looking at the arrows that were completely lost.

While both hands were busy moving, likewise, both feet never stopped.

I wonder if he fired about a hundred arrows like that.

[ You have passed the 1st level arrow hell. ]

[ Passing record, 58 seconds. ]

Instead of the dry, long aisle ending, another aisle with all sorts of signs came out.

Stage 2 Trap Hell.

It’s a place full of traps, where those who don’t know about it go at a sluggish pace, but it was rather easy for me.

only ran

Covered by illusion magic, the trap with a hollow floor kicked off the wall and ran to avoid it.

As soon as I looked at it, the magic circle that fired elemental magic didn’t even notice it as soon as I sensed it.

The slime pouring from the ceiling was sent back upwards with Konkondaenai.

The traps that continued after that to trick the cadets.

‘I’ve already experienced everything in my previous life.’

Not only in the training dungeon, but in all the dungeons I’ve been to in my past life.

There was no way he would come and suffer now.

[ You have passed the 2nd level Trap Hell. ]

[ Passing record, 1 minute 36 seconds. ]

After that, it was Goblin Hell, and behind various obstacles in a wide cavity, there were about thirty goblins with only poisonous needles.

I’ve heard that quite a few cadets here in a previous life have dropped out beyond simply wasting their time.

‘I had a hard time too.’

Of course, it was different now.

“——Kkeueek!”

Before they could even shoot their poison needles, they stabbed the paralysis poison arrows they had collected in advance into their necks.

It wasn’t that difficult because he had a good understanding of the throwing technique.

After that, he approached and took it down in an instant.

[ You have passed Level 3 Goblin Hell. ]

[ Passing record, 3 minutes 12 seconds. ]

The next gateway was the troll.

A one-eyed troll with one arm and leg firmly fixed to the wall.

Perhaps because of such a handicap, it was the only step that did not include hell in the name.

‘They have no conscience.’

I lifted the torch hanging over the gate entrance.

I quickly approached, dodged the troll’s thrashing arm, and climbed onto his shoulder.

─Kuong?

I stuck the torch in my hand into the bewildered troll’s eyes.

—Kuuu!

The troll screamed and I beat him up with the help of my deuterium trick.

I tapped my head so that the damage would go evenly all the way to the inside.

Then the boy died soon after.

[ You have passed the level 4 troll gate. ]

[ Passing record, 4 minutes 44 seconds. ]

and the final gateway.

[You have entered the 5th level training hell. ]

He reached the final stage where he could have made a mistake and left the world as it was.

A divine protection that resists magic and energy. The five guardians who received such blessings countless times.

In the midst of dealing with those guys, paralysis poison arrows flew from all sides.

‘This is training hell.’

I heard that the name was given to mean reviewing all the things that have been passed by so far.

“Even though it’s oil-based resin.”

Even as he slammed the damn school like that, he honestly moved his feet.

─The hand (巽, wind) of the eight trigrams (八卦).

ran forward

***

Quaang!

After destroying the last Guardian, Cheon Yu-ha let out a sigh of relief.

is it finally over

I don’t know what the guardian was made of, but it took time because it had resistance to energy.

[ You have passed the 5th level training hell. ]

[ Passing record, 13:22. ]

“Is it still in the 10s?”

This is probably a very fast record.

Cheon You-ha nodded her head in satisfaction and soon moved on.

After crossing the last gateway and reaching the vast plaza, a system message popped up again.

[ Congratulations. ]

[ You have passed all the gateways. ]

[ Passing record, 13:22. ]

[Your attack result so far is ‘2nd place’. ]

“… … what?”

At the same time as he muttered involuntarily, he noticed the presence of someone who had already arrived. She turned her head with a blank expression.

“Yo, are you here?”

Choi Kang-jun was there.

A man who faced himself with an open mind.

Also, next to it was an electronic display board that recorded the capture results of all the cadets.

As of now, there are only two of them.

At the very top, at the very top, it was written:

[ 1st place Choi Kang-jun ]

[ Passing record, 7 minutes 38 seconds. ]

“ah.”

For the first time she felt the wall.
