Chapter 310 - Exhibits (1)

“So it’s not enough to add a local woman. You had to bring in a new one?!”

Bridget laughed and clapped, making a stupid voice before Kang Shin-hyuk promptly applied a dispassionate hand-blade to her head.

“Why hit me?!”

“I only have one? Besides, princess Olivia is the next queen of England, so don’t joke.”

“But I think it’s true that my big sister fell in love with you.”

“Eli, please be quiet.”

Just as it seemed Bridget was quieting down, Eleanor poured oil on the fire. Kang Shin-hyuk had also noticed Olivia’s gaze towards him had changed. In Africa, she had decided she wanted to attract him to England, but this time it felt like she wanted to follow him. That’s why he left England so quickly...

-There’s no reason to mix words with an old virgin whose attributes only slightly overlap with the spear fox. You’ve very good at it. 1,000,000HP bonus!

‘I know who the spear fox is pointing to, but don’t say that again; it could cause a disaster. And you’re forbidden to say old virgin while we’re at it.’

Even if the administrator’s message was always a joke, there were plenty of people who were connected to it. Claire was Claire, but when Shin Eunah returned, they would have to be careful.

“But honestly, isn’t it worth falling in love? Saving her and her family, killing that selfish bastard... You even showed off some cool special moves, revealing the identity of those tainted...”

“Senior, don’t do that, really.”

It was cool at the moment, but thinking about it now was embarrassing. Kang Shin-hyuk desperately moved to cover Eleanor and Lee Na-hee’s mouths as Bridget pouted at him.

“That sounds great. I also want to hang out with the Puppeteer.”

“I only do that with Claire? Tell me what happened in the meantime.”

“Have you not received the report already?”

He had received a report on Shinyoung’s first appearance. Shinyoung’s military grouping took place immediately, but it was too harsh to throw the students right in, so they had been practicing at low-grade gates with teachers. However, just last week, while they were in England and Germany, a team of only students finally took part.

“They went out with some poignant faces like they were in some army.”

“It is an army.”

Usually, four to eight people went into small gates, and eight to sixteen went into large ones. The school considered team composition to be as autonomous as possible, but everyone formed teams according to that maximum number. Some teams hadn’t gone last week, so that they would be entering this one. That was because there was a provision for each team to be in charge of at least one gate every two weeks.

“So, how was it actually? I just confirmed that there were no deaths.”

“Sorry, but there were some serious injuries. There were many irregular gates. In fact, half of the gate incidents that occur these days are irregular.”

“At this point, they’re becoming regular...the superhuman association that originally detects and identifies those occurrences has been cut in half.”

Kang Shin-hyuk confirmed the image that Bridget showed on her phone. TI was the report Kang Shin-hyuk had received from the teachers. F class 5, E class 7, D class 13, C class 21, B class 2, A class 2. It was the number of gates that the students attacked over the past week. In fact, the figure was considerably lower than he thought. The reason was that the fatigue of students who finished their gate expeditions was greater than he expected.

“Everyone’s not too great at endurance...?”

“Looking at you, that’s understandable, but most people don’t go into gates in such a rapid-fire manner.”

-Even if you ignore this negligent fox, it’s natural that you don’t understand the young students. When you started exploring the gates in earnest, you already had the regeneration power of a troll.

‘Ah, is that so?’

Kang Shin-hyuk finally realized that he was arrogant. As the administrator said, the work didn’t tire him because of the troll’s regenerative power, and that ability had given him almost infinite stamina in the process of evolving. So, after exploring the gates, he couldn’t objectively recognize how heavy the fatigue was for the general superhuman.

“But you’re a top ranker, so it’s different. I know it can’t be afforded in the future.”

“...Can you say that one more time while looking down at me?”

“I can’t figure out the limits of your perversion...”

So, the mileage the students had earned over the two weeks was less than expected. The teaching team, consisting of the three members from Kang Shin-hyuk’s orphanage and led by Lee Jinseok, had the highest points. Their trait rank wasn’t low, but there were quite a few students with stronger traits than them... It seemed that the training was lacking.

“What about the teacher team?”

“Because almost half of the teachers always have to stay at school...excluding the team that’s out now, we’ve targeted about ten.”

“Since the TA team has attacked two, a total of 62.”

At this level, a large guild wouldn’t laugh at them. They were mainly low-rank gates, but the teacher’s team had also targeted B and A-rank dungeons. However, considering they had about 1,000 students and teachers combined, he felt it was a little inadequate.

“We need to train the students who can only enter the F and E level gates as soon as possible. We have to make it so they can clear three of those lower gates a day.”

“Aren’t they great enough now?”

“Not that much. We’re not aiming for the level of a large guild, but the world’s strongest armed group.”

“Then, what do we do?”

“I have to work more.”

In fact, it could be said that the students of Shinyoung were still trying to attack relatively safe gates compared to other superhumans. This was because every team entered the gate with at least one drone made by Claire Boyle. The drone was able to observe and record everything in the dungeon and even transmit some of it to the control room. Originally, communication couldn’t be sent outside gates, but this miracle was accomplished by the nanobots and special metal directly cast by Kang Shin-hyuk. Real-time reporting and rescue were separate matters, but teams that sent rescue signals could be defended by the drone directly from the control room. Those drones had been deployed to all the teams, and all future production was expected to be sold at a ridiculously high price.

“I also thought about handing out Ra’s guardians one by one...”

“Yes, that’s like you.”

“It seems so.”

That afternoon, Kang Shin-hyuk gathered all the students at the great playground, gave them buffs again, and held a group exhibition. He boldly beat them all, offering no forgiveness.

“It hurts! It hurts, but I can’t fall down...!”

“You can’t lie down until you fall!”

“What is this? It’s scary!”

Kang Shin-hyuk’s trait hung over the entire playground. By activating his god wind skill, he moved the world’s magical power into the bodies of the exhausted students. The energy that boiled inside of them was incomparable to the tonics and recovery magic they used before. No matter how badly they were beaten, they were able to stand back up.

“Should I do this once a week?”

“Never, I hate it...!”

“I want to go home...”

Unfortunately, there was still a limit to his skill, so he couldn’t pull too much energy from the world. The tremendous energy that covered the area vanished after about an hour, and before Kang Shin-hyuk collapsed, the students did. Among them was the team of teaching assistants.

“Ooh, we’re together... I cleared two gates...!”

“Lee Jinsu, are you thinking of receiving a weapon from me? Did you become lazy when you became a mercenary?”

“Don’t call me Jinsu in front of the students, motherfucker... Kahak.”

The TA team attacked two gates, so Kang Shin-hyuk presented a B-rank accessory-type artifact to the TA team in return. The same artifacts were presented to the team where the elite members of each grade gathered to attack the A-rank gate, and the one-man team of Oh Hye-na, who couldn’t work as Masked Bacchus while Kang Shin-hyuk wasn’t present. Although they were beaten down, the students who saw those rewards were rekindled.

“Then, the teacher team next.”

“Us too?!”

The teachers watching the training jumped in fear. Kang Shin-hyuk continued while staring down Gong Joonpyo, the teacher he didn’t like the most.

“...I want to train like this, but it’s difficult to activate that ability right now, so let’s do it tomorrow.”

“If you enter the gate tomorrow...?”

“Then you go into the gate and will have a private lesson with me.”

What a thrilling reverberation that the idea of a private lesson with the No. 1 caused. Gong Joonpyo and the other teachers decided to give up on running away.

***

The blonde German beauty, Rachel Elma Burt, was officially licensed as a member of Shinyoung. She ended up as an assistant like Lee Jinseok, as she had graduated from a German production school earlier that year. Not only Kang Shin-hyuk but also Lee Na-hee opposed her recruitment until the end, but there was no choice. She was a talented craftsman and invaluable help against Jormungand.

“This is master’s workshop.”

“Don’t call me master.”

If Lee Jinseok was a combat assistant, Rachel was a production assistant. It was expected that she would help Lee Na-hee and Kang Shin-hyuk produce the products that would be given over to students who accumulated mileage.

“Well, overall, it may not be that bad. It’s possible to collaborate even with our schedules... Also, it seems like she has roughly the same skills as Na-hee.”

“Wow, my dear junior. That hurts a little.”

“Master, I also feel like I’m being ignored. I’ve no intention of losing to a woman who can’t properly handle iron.”

Kang Shin-hyuk smiled at both of them.

“Then you can compete with your skills, Burt.”

“Please call me Rachel, master.”

“I hate it. In Korea, that name is a symbol of betrayal.”

“Can’t you?!”

After a lot of tears, anger, and anguish, Kang Shin-hyuk decided to call her by her middle name, Elma. As a bonus, the artifact production battle resulted in a tie, as he expected, with both making an A-rank artifact.
