I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

Chapter 29

(29)

Hong Yi-seol continued to oppose it, but Mr. Kim sided with me, and due to a majority vote, I eventually applied for and was assigned a B-rank portal.

Since the assigned portal was on the hill side of Yongin, I tried to rent a car, but Hong Yi-seol had a car, so I moved to hers.

It wasn’t that Hong Yi-seol was paying attention, but I had a trouble earlier and it feels a bit like getting beaten up.

I haven’t bought a car because I haven’t felt the need for a car since I’ve been living in school, but sooner or later I’ll have to get a used one.

Upon arriving at the entrance, I confirmed that I had been assigned to the portal through my ID and application to the soldiers who were standing guard around the portal, and entered the portal.

The environment of the portal is different for each portal, and there are places where lava boils and deserts, but this place we were assigned this time is the most common mountain type.

“Then you two wait here.”

“Is it really okay if I go alone?”

“Even now, just cancel and leave… .”

“Because it’s okay. I’ll be back soon.”

After leaving the safety area dyed in blue, I see a dense forest.

As you raise your internal energy and spread it in all directions, you can feel life reactions everywhere.

First of all, there are three that are close.

I don’t know what kind of monster it is, but since the portal is mountainous, it won’t be an undead type monster or use tricky magic.

There are usually a lot of animal and mineral monsters in this type of terrain, but it would be nice if it was an animal type.

It’s not that you can’t catch it because it’s a mineral type, but it takes a long time because it has high defense power, and it’s hard to move because it’s heavy.

At first, I moved my steps towards the nearest group.

Just when I thought I was close, I spotted some guys running around the trees.

It’s a Giant Monkey.

Overall, they resemble monkeys, and although they are not as big as adult males, they are fast and climb trees well, so they are quite tricky to catch.

In addition, although the number of objects is large, the magic stone drop rate is quite low, so it is weaker than monsters from other B-class portals, but hunters do not prefer it.

At least, Giant Monkey skins are sold at a fairly high price, but it’s not too expensive compared to the trouble of catching those nimble ones.

Of course, being picky only applies to normal hunters.

Ookki-.

Meal.

One of the guys playing upstairs ran quickly as if he had spotted me. I swung my sword while avoiding the long claws flying towards me.

Swoop.

With one blow of a knife, the neck immediately falls off.

Since the Giant Monkey is also a monster, it will attack people unconditionally when it sees it, but its intelligence is quite high, so if it judges that it is an opponent that it cannot defeat, it will immediately climb a tree and run away.

However, if you don’t give them a chance to escape like this and kill them at once, there’s no problem.

Their hides are quite tough and strong enough to be used as armor material, but in front of the sword, they are cut like tofu with a knife.

It’s a little creepy that the monster’s unique black blood oozes out, but maybe it’s a scene I’ve seen in VR at school, so it’s not to the point of vomiting.

Ookki!

A joke!

The other two also rushed at me, probably because they smelled the blood of their comrade. Just like he did to the first one, he hit his neck right away.

Swoop, Swoop.

They couldn’t even scream a single word and both died.

I kicked their corpses into a corner, gathered them roughly, and spread my energy again.

Some of them seemed to be coming this way, as if they smelled blood. I thought I could wait, but I moved in the direction they were coming.

The sooner you finish it, the more you will be able to flatten the nose of Hong Yi-seol, who was secretly ignoring me, asking why he was acting like a guest when he was an A rank.

* * *

“Sergeant Kim, the portal seems a bit strange.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Before we went to eat, it was blue, but now it looks closer to navy blue.”

I looked at the portal thinking it was bullsh*t, but it’s really me, a sodomy.

“Hey, why are you saying that now! If it’s navy, it’s changed to A rank, right?”

I heard that this could happen when I was receiving portal alert training, but I’m embarrassed because I’ve never experienced it.

“I-I saw it now. The hunters went in earlier, what should I do?”

“Let’s see the company commander first.”

I immediately took out my cell phone and called the company commander to report.

“Sergeant Kim, what did the company commander say?”

“Okay, so please wait.”

It was the first time that the company commander was experiencing it, so the voice was very perplexed.

“Wait? What about the hunters who got inside? Shouldn’t you let them know and let them come out?”

“How do I get in there?”

“During the portal alert training, I heard that there is a safe zone instead of monsters immediately appearing when you enter… .”

“So what if there is a safe zone? It’s been a while since you went in. You must have crossed the safe zone long ago.”

“then… .”

“Jinsu, I can’t help it. We are not hunters. Since I reported it to the company commander, he should contact the Hunter Management Bureau and request support from a nearby guild.”

* * *

I moved from place to place for more than 10 minutes and spread my energy, but the monster was not detected.

I think I’ve caught about 50 so far, but is that over?

Looking at the color of the sky, I don’t think I caught them all… Wait, is this portal fixed type?

Usually, portals are extinct after 12 hours and the sky turns yellow when all monsters are dealt with.

However, there are occasional cases where fixed portals that do not disappear even if all monsters are killed are found, such as the portal where the master lives.

In the case of a fixed portal, new monsters do not appear and the portal does not disappear even if all the monsters are defeated.

Usually, such stationary portals belong to the territory of the country in which they exist.

Of course, it is not used as a residential area because it is not so large, but it is highly useful for the purpose of research and collection of resources such as metals and plants that do not exist on Earth.

I heard that additional rewards are also given to hunters who kill monsters in fixed portals… Amazing, Great.

I never thought that the place where I first hunted would be a fixed portal.

Is this just beginner’s luck?

Kwaaang!

hahahaha… . It seems that there was a guy who hasn’t been dealt with yet.

Damn, that’s good.

However, it is said that there is quite a distance if the inner air cannot be searched, but when I saw the sound, it does not seem to be a giant monkey.

maybe a troll?

A troll’s blood is more expensive than its weight in gold.

I couldn’t help but doubt my eyes as I moved toward the sound with a heart full of anticipation.

Three times as tall as me? No, because I found a green-skinned monster with a huge size that looked like 4 times its size.

That green monster in front of me is not the troll I was expecting.

They didn’t have the characteristic hair of trolls, they didn’t carry weapons, and they were much bigger than trolls, which were only about 4m tall when they reached adulthood.

This guy is an ogre called the nightmare of the forest among hunters.

It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it, but I’ve seen it in the monster encyclopedia and it matches the description in the original novel.

But why is this guy here?

I heard that ogres rarely appear even in A-rank portals.

The portal we were assigned to is B-class.

Even when I entered, the portal entrance was clearly blue.

The main character also goes to practice in the 3rd year, and there is a scene where a hunter belonging to the guild, who is in charge of guidance, accidentally enters an A-class portal and fights an ogre, but it is quite difficult.

Of course, the guy the main character fought at that time was an ogre with two heads that could only come out of an S-class portal.

It is said that an ogre can grow up to 10m when fully grown, so I don’t think he is an adult, but an ogre is still an ogre.

Fortunately, he doesn’t seem to recognize me yet, should I go back?

Maybe it’s because they’re similar in height, but when I caught the giant monkey, I didn’t feel afraid at all, even though it’s a monster.

If 3 A-rank hunters fight an ogre, 1 will inevitably die, and if 4 people fight, 1 will be seriously injured, so there is even a saying that you should kill at least 5 people.

However, I heard that the by-products of ogres are also quite expensive, if not as much as trolls.

The bones are hard, the tendons are elastic, and the leather is so tough that even a sword can scratch it.

Above all, the probability of getting a magic stone is close to 100%.

A-rank magic stones vary by purity, but start at 10 million won.

yeah let’s catch it

Because I think I can do 5:1 with A rank hunters.

Come to think of it, what the main character used when defeating the Twin Head Ogre was strong, and even though it took a bit of time, I can use strong energy, so if I ambushed, I have a good chance of winning.

Wow!

He screamed out of nowhere and was surprised to think he had been caught, but there was no movement after that.

man, you’re surprised

Thinking that it was just like before and screaming for no reason, I raised my energy and sent it to the sword.

The blue light surrounding the sword gradually deepened, and after a while, it perfectly wrapped around the sword and created a sword steel.

“Mr. Kang, where are you!”

What else is this?

I tried to close the distance a little more and attack, but I hear Mr. Kim’s voice from behind.

I told you to stay at the entrance, so why are you looking for me all of a sudden… Going crazy.

Wow!

Damn it. I don’t think it’s a meaningless roar this time.

Sure enough, the ogre is running fast towards me.

I tried to finish it all at once with a surprise attack… .

I would be in trouble if he passed me by and went toward Mr. Kim, so I rushed toward him as well.

I didn’t go far, but seeing how fast he was, I quickly encountered him.

Wow!

The one who finds me roars and punches me straight away.

Because of his size, his fists are bigger than my face.

I was about to attack him with my sword, but I thought the power contained in it would be terrifying, so I twisted my body to avoid it and cut off the log-like wrist.

visor!

The sword went in smoothly with no sense of resistance until the middle, but it didn’t go in anymore with the sound of a metal colliding with the bone, so I withdrew the sword and stepped back.

Wow!

This roar must have been a scream of pain, and black blood dripped from the half-severed wrist.

Fortunately, ogres aren’t monsters with good regenerative power like trolls, so it’s true that they dealt quite a bit of damage, but to be honest, it’s a bit embarrassing.

Even though it’s not a perfect sword steel, I never expected that I wouldn’t be able to cut his bones.

I thought it was worth doing because I wasn’t a perfect adult, but I think I made a mistake.

Wow!

The eyes of the guy glaring at me are much redder than when I first saw them.

The chances are slim, but since he was injured, I thought he might run away… .

It doesn’t seem like that at all.

As expected, it charged me again.

He approached at a much faster speed than before and swung the other side of his intact fist.

Hu-wook-.

I tried to cut it while avoiding it in the same way as the first time, but my feet fly toward the space I was trying to avoid, as if I had the ability to learn.

I had no choice but to throw my body to avoid it, but soon it slammed me down with the other foot.

thud!

I awkwardly rolled down the floor to the left and barely avoided it.

I got up right away, fixed my posture, watched him and glanced at the side, and the ground caved in as if I had been bombed.

Is it Berserker Mode?

If you look at the speed, it seems to be almost the same as sympathy.

The strength is also great, so if it was stronger, it would be stronger, not weaker.

But what if it was an attack that could not be avoided even with rapport?

After vacation began, I practiced more intensely than before.

The students and people around me said it wasn’t my defeat, and honestly, I don’t think I lost either, but I felt the wall myself.

Right now, I don’t have time, my posture is unstable, and I’m not in perfect condition like when I was in sparring.

But somehow I feel like I can do it.
