Episode 119. Entry Test (1)
‘… 100 billion?’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyebrows twitched when he saw the wanted badge.
This was because the amount was considerably higher than expected.
Although they have become quite famous because of the Colosseum program, their skills have not yet been proven in the New World.
Yet, such a large bounty was placed on his head.
‘It looks like he wants to catch me somehow.’
While Kim Jin-seong was thinking that, the Daehan Clan Hunters looked at the photo in the poster and Kim Jin-seong’s face alternately with sharp eyes.
Kim Jinseong saw that and laughed to himself.
‘You won’t even notice it even if you look at it for a hundred days.’
Kim Jin-seong was now in the form of a different human being, not his original form.
From the time he appeared on the ship fighting pirates, Kim Jin-seong had changed his appearance using the ‘Life Transformation Art’.
It was a moment when the creature transformation skill, which was a skill created by strengthening the animal transformation skill, was put to useful use.
“… Jinhwan Lee?”
One of the hunters asked a question while looking at Kim Jin-seong’s identity card.
“I came from Seoul at the age of 20… . “A C+ level hunter?”
“yes.”
“Is this your first time hearing this name? “If it’s a C+ grade at age 20, there’s no way I wouldn’t have heard of it.”
“I haven’t been active in Korea. “I was sold to Argentina when I was young and only worked there.”
“Sold out?”
“yes. Do I even have to tell you what kind of slaver you are?”
“No, it’s okay.”
Hunter shook his head as if that wasn’t important and then asked the question again.
“Do you have anything to prove that you are a hunter? “Something like a certificate or card.”
“no. “I didn’t bring it with me on purpose.”
“on purpose? why?”
“When I was taking the entrance exam for the New World, I was told that my existing hunter license was useless. is not it?”
Hunter, who had been questioning those words, kept his mouth shut.
This is because there was nothing wrong with what Kim Jin-seong said.
When taking the entrance exam for the New World, it didn’t matter at all how I had lived.
The only thing that matters is ‘current skills’.
That was the only way to survive in the New World. Fame and glory elsewhere were of no help in surviving here.
This is a big reason why the New World is called the ‘Land of Opportunity’.
“… All right. Let me check one more thing. “Please look at this camera for a moment.”
Hunter soon received an item that looked like a measuring instrument from a colleague next to him.
Kim Jin-seong asked while looking at the thing with a large lens.
“What is this?”
“This is equipment that can confirm whether you are a Colosseum Survival participant.”
“… … !”
“This is a process to catch a criminal who recently escaped during the Colosseum, so we ask for your cooperation.”
A measuring instrument suddenly appeared in front of Kim Jin-seong’s surprised eyes.
Soon, the green light emitted from the measuring device covered Kim Jin-seong’s face.
After a while, a mechanical voice was heard from the measuring device.
[I am not a Colosseum Survival participant.]
At those words, the two hunters looked at each other’s faces.
They exchanged slightly suspicious looks and then took a step back as if they had no choice.
“… Thank you for your cooperation.”
Afterwards, he turns his body and approaches another person.
When the two completely disappeared from sight, Kim Jin-seong internally sighed in relief.
‘If I had turned into a Colosseum participant, I would have been in big trouble.’
Currently, Kim Jin-seong has transformed into one of the boys he killed at the Fight Club incinerator.
I deliberately changed into the most unrecognizable identity, but it was a fortunate choice.
“Now come this way.”
A nearby employee who had been watching until then called Jinseong Kim to the immigration machine.
Pass.
Jinseong Kim passed without any problems this time and was only then able to walk to the exit.
“Oh, there Jin is!”
“What took you so long?”
“I thought something was wrong because it took so long.”
Joel and other colleagues who were waiting inside greeted Kim Jin-seong warmly.
Except for one person, Rio.
He was looking around as if he was preoccupied with something else.
“Where the hell are you? I’m sure you said you work here… .”
Rio, who was looking around with his head out like a meerkat, was fidgeting and muttering to himself.
When Kim Jin-seong looked at him with a look of ‘Why are you like that?’, Joel explained on his behalf.
“I heard that a colleague who was in a clan with Rio in the past is working here as an employee. So I promised to help you if I met you, but I haven’t met you yet.”
“… ah! “There it is!”
At that time, Rio started running toward the back door with a bright expression on his face. The companions also naturally followed him.

“… uh?!”
A man who had just opened the door and came in saw Rio and his eyes widened.
“What, it’s Rio! “I heard you were coming, but did you really come?”
“Where was Pablo? “You’ve been looking for it for a long time!”
“Oh, I just got to work. Anyway, nice to meet you! “I didn’t expect to see you in the New World either.”
Pablo, who was exchanging greetings with Rio, soon looked around at the group standing behind him.
“Are these people colleagues?”
“yes. “These are faces Pablo knows, right?”
“know. You all graduated from the same military academy, right? … But, there are faces I don’t recognize, right?”
Pablo’s gaze turned towards Jinseong Kim.
“Ah, this is Jin. We met on a ship heading to the New World. I met a pirate along the way, right? “This person did it all by himself.”
“alone? The pirates operating near the New Continent are quite strong… ?”
‘He was weak.’
It was Kim Jin-seong who answered Pablo’s surprised voice in his mind.
Aside from the fact that the pirates were weak, the characteristics gained by killing them were not very good. The most useful characteristic was that it increased strength by 15, so all was said and done.
“So we immediately recruited him into our party. And this is Karen.”
This time, Rio pointed to a sharp-looking person standing at the other end.
He has a sharp appearance and an impressive black dragon tattoo on the right side of his neck. That was Karen.
“This is a friend brought by Joel, and he was the best hunter among the recent Argentine mercenaries. “Everyone said he was at least an A-level talent.”
“A-level? oh… !”
Pablo’s eyes widened at Rio’s words and he looked at Karen.
“As soon as I heard that you wanted to come to the New World, Joel brought you to our party. “So we came together.”
Kim Jin-seong looked at Karen carefully while listening to Rio.
Then, he narrowed his eyebrows slightly.
‘A-level? Absolutely not.’
The energy felt from Karen was at least grade A+ or higher, and if done well, it could be rated as grade S or higher.
What is certain is that it was never lower than A+ level.
“So, this means there are 10 people in the same party?”
“yes.”
“okay. “I’ll try my best.”
“and! “Thank you, brother!”
It was Pablo who winked back at Rio, who was happy.
* * *
After finishing the conversation with Pablo and returning to their original seats, the group had to wait a little longer. The screening process seemed to be more complicated than expected.
After a while, several employees appeared holding a stack of thick documents.
One of them picked up the microphone and began to speak.
“iced coffee. “From now on, if you meet the conditions I’m talking about, please come forward and enter the aisle on the right.”
The employee’s voice rang loudly through the speakers installed in the hall.
“First of all, anyone with a monster dissection certificate, please come forward. Those who hold the following medical license or have recovery skills. For your information, you must have the ability to heal others other than yourself.”
‘… It doesn’t apply to me.’
Jinseong Kim’s recovery skills could not be used on others.
“Next, those who have a magic crystal refining license or those who have a potion production license… .”
The employee continued talking, and each time, one by one, people moved to the right aisle.
However, not many people moved to the right aisle until the employee finished speaking.
As expected, Kim Jin-seong’s party members, who did not move at all, were whispering.
“These are all jobs that require certification.”
“Should I have gotten a magicite refining license? Then she would have entered the country easily… .”
“But hunters make more money. “If I just squat in the corner of the factory and touch the magic stone, when will my life turn around?”
“Well, that’s right. “That’s not what I came to the New World for.”
One of the biggest reasons people came to Selepor, known as the land of opportunity, was money.
And if money was the goal, it was common to choose a hunter.
The New World has always been filled with people who dream of turning their lives around by conquering its dungeons.
Of course, hunters had the disadvantage of being much more dangerous than other occupations. However, all the people here were willing to take that risk to enter the country.
“All those who do not meet the conditions mentioned so far will take the entry test as a hunter. “If you don’t want to, I recommend that you leave now.”
“… … .”
But no one was moving.
The employee continued immediately as if he had expected it.
“Please receive one piece of paper from now on, select the relevant item, then go to the counter on the left and submit it along with the personal information card you filled out earlier.”
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes turned to the counter on the left.
His eyes caught the sight of Pablo, whom he had met earlier, sitting there.
Jinseong Kim soon received the paper handed out by the employees and began to read it carefully.
※ To obtain a hunter license on the Selepo continent, you must pass one of the following entry tests. Please select the test you want.
– Return through the exit portal after completing a level 1 or higher ‘Demon Dungeon’ raid.
– After successfully completing the ‘Tower of Trials’ raid on the first floor or higher, return through the exit portal.
– Hunt 5 large monsters or more than 20 large monsters in a designated area and collect loot.
All tests allow for party hunting, and party members are limited to 10 or less.
The types of super large monsters and large monsters are as follows.
… .
Jinseong Kim was reading the types of monsters written at the bottom of the document.
Joel, who was next to him, called.
“jin. “You just have to check it three times here.”
Jinseong Kim nodded and then checked item 3 with a pen.
Soon, Kim Jin-seong caught the eyes of people moving one by one towards the left counter.
“We will be the last to move.”
Following Joel’s words, Kim Jin-seong waited until people left through the exit on the left.
The group, who had been waiting for a while, moved only after confirming that there was no one around.
The group followed Rio to the front of the counter.
Pablo grinned as he looked at them, then managed his expression and opened his mouth.
“Are you all at the same party?”
Pablo raised his voice loudly as if to make the surrounding employees hear him.
“Please have one person come forward as a representative and write down everyone’s names here.”
With those words, Rio came out and started writing names under the document.
At that time, Pablo whispered in a voice so low that only Rio could hear.
“You know Franco? I contacted that friend. “I will come to help you during immigration inspection.”
Rio’s eyes widened at those words.
“The Franco I know?”
“Uh, as soon as you cross the bridge, go straight to the right. Then you will come to a small beach. “If you wait there, Franco will come find you.”
Pablo, who had spoken up to that point, began speaking loudly again.
“You chose number 3 in total? As soon as you leave hunting ground number 3, cross the bridge on the left. “If you’ve written down all your names, you can leave now.”
At those words, everyone in the group walked to the next exit.
Before leaving, Rio didn’t forget to leave a thank you note to Pablo.
“Thank you, Pablo! “After the exam, I’ll have a drink!”
Pablo answered with a wink.
Pablo, who soon confirmed that everyone had disappeared from sight, took out his smartphone from his inner pocket and pressed the call button.
“… Uh, Franco. it’s me. “I sent the kids there.”
– How many?
“A total of 10 people.”
-What is the level?
“They’re kids, and there are two kids I’m seeing for the first time. From what I’ve heard, these guys seem like a bunch of guys who hit the nail on the head. “You better be careful.”
– We’ll take care of that.
“Again, you have to make sure you do the math when it’s over.”
– do not worry. I swear in the name of ‘Triunpo’. then.
And just like that, the phone was hung up.
Pablo nervously put down his smartphone with a disapproving expression.
“What’s the point of using a clan name? Everyone in the New World knows that this is a group of people who commit fraud on a daily basis… .”
He was babbling but soon regained control of his expression.
It was confirmed that other people wishing to enter the country who had completed the immigration screening were entering here.
