Chapter: 66

She could have ignored it, but she came to warn him for old time’s sake. Mukeum nodded. And when she left, Mukeum heeded her warning and took Jahyun with him to practice. Near midnight, Chun Yeowun finished his simulation training and was on the way back.

‘Ugh, I still have a lot more to go.’

Unlike what he was saying, he now had the ability to defeat the avatar about 60% of the time. He hadn’t yet reached his goal to win easily, but he was now more used to using his blade skills. When he was going down to head back, he heard the sounds of a fight breaking out.

“UGH!”

After hearing the short scream, he ran toward the source. When he got there, there was one figure slumped down on the ground and another one fighting someone else off. It was too dark in the forest to make out who was who.

‘Nano. Turn on night vision mode.’

[Activating night vision mode on the user’s sight.]

The light exposure on Yeowun’s eyes increased immediately and he was able to see everything clearly.

‘Chun Mukeum?’

The one who was being attacked while barely fending the attacker off with wounds was Chun Mukeum. He was fighting a masked man, but the man looked very powerful. He was pressing onto Mukeum with a powerful attack.

“DAMMIT!”

Mukeum’s right leg was injured, but he was holding off quite well. However, it was just a matter of time. As expected, Mukeum tried to take several steps back, but he fell down after losing energy in his leg.

“UGH!”

The man then charged to stab Mukeum’s left leg and Yeowun shouted, “STOP!”

He didn’t like Mukeum, but he couldn’t bear to lose the group leader the day before the test and charged in. The man then stopped and swung the sword at Yeowun. However, Yeowun could see everything clearly so he got down to avoid the sword and struck the masked man’s stomach with his blade skill.

After he touched the stomach, the masked man quickly retreated to put some distance between them. Yeowun became surprised.

‘He retreated the moment I touched him.’

It was hard to guess who powerful the man was. The man narrowed his eyes as he glared at Chun Yeowun and turned away to flee. Chun Yeowun thought of chasing after him, but gave up. Mukeum was on the ground, and another student was also on the ground with blood dripping down from the head.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Peasant? Dammit... how did I get attacked by some masked man!”

‘Should I just leave him here?’

Yeowun shook away his thoughts and helped Chun Mukeum and the other student quickly return to the dorm. Students of the 8th group fell silent with serious expressions as they saw their leader and another member with critical al wounds. The student whose head was bleeding was Jahyun. As he wiped the blood off Jahyun’s head, he asked Nano, ‘Is he okay?’

[Scanning the wounded entity.]

The doctor was out of the office right now, so he could only rely on Nano.

[Found cut made from a sword. 4cm in length, 2mm in depth. Requires cleaning of the wound and sewing of the cut.]

Contrary to his concern, the wound wasn’t all that bad. The problem was with Chun Mukeum.

“Hah.. hah... dammit!”

He was holding onto his right thigh as blood poured out. His face was also pale from losing too much blood.

“Call an instructor!”

“Y-yes, sir!”
