Chapter 158
Episode 158 Outdoor Training Camp (1)
“…You’re really giving this to us?”
It was not only Kim Yoo-jung who was shocked. Kwon So-yul, Lee Jae-sang, Seo In-ah and Ahn Ho-yeon, who were next to me. Everyone in the party is looking at Jaehyun with a frightened look.
It was because the value of the artifact in front of him was enormous.

When wearing the same item, you can share each other’s location and status.
The effect does not activate when the user’s magic power is exhausted.
“what? You’re going to spread A+ grade items?! are you insane Where are you going to die?! Think again now…!”
“……Jaehyun, no matter how much we are on the same team, we can’t get this…….”
Kim Yoo-jung and Seo In-na’s reactions were clear.
Kwon So-yul was completely shocked and suffered from aphasia, while Ahn Ho-yeon looked at him with a worried face.
“Isn’t an item like this ridiculous at least worth hundreds of millions? I know that items with skills like this are really hard to find…”
“Sisi, even this is a crafted item! It’s the work of the famous J chair!”
Jaesang Lee shouted in excitement. Jaehyun nodded.
“I, the club leader, put in some effort for the circle members. Don’t you like it? If you don’t like it, take it back.”
“Who hates it?”
Kim Yoo-jung was the first to snatch the ring and laughed.
Well, such a reaction is normal.
It is a handmade product of J, the blacksmith of Yeonhwa. It was a product that cost at least billions of dollars at auction, and it was a rare artifact that took quite a while to reproduce.
Perhaps, if Baek Ji-yeon hadn’t moved to recruit her this time, even Jae-hyun wouldn’t have been able to receive the item so quickly.
‘Should I be grateful to Baek Ji-yeon?’
Jaehyun smiled lightly at that thought.
However, there was one person who still couldn’t laugh and was in shock.
Seo Ina. She asked, grabbing Jaehyun’s sleeve with a serious expression.
“…Jaehyun, how much did you earn from the workshop elixir…?”
“That’s a trade secret. Whatever it is, I’ll let you know in particular. Roughly this much in a month…….”
In response to the amount Jaehyun told her, Seo Eana unknowingly opened her mouth and shook her hands.
Of course, I’ve heard that Gongbo Elixir has recently become sensational among Korean radars. There are even rumors that it is about to go abroad.
But is it because I watched this process from the beginning?
Seo In-na did not feel the success of Jae-hyun and Lee Jae-sang.
But… No matter how much I thought about it, the amount I had just heard was beyond common sense.
‘……As expected, Jaehyun is amazing…….’
Jaehyun cleared his throat, leaving the burdensome gazes of the party behind him.
He opened his mouth slowly as he looked at his circle members.
“Now with this, we can know each other’s location and status anytime, anywhere. One thing I ask for is that everyone here, at least during the camp camp. You shouldn’t miss out on this item.
This is for your safety as the circle leader. I beg you.”
“Ah~ even if I want to lose it, I can’t stand an all-status 10.”
Kwon So-yul smiled and smiled. It was a positive thing for Jaehyun.
‘At the outdoor training camp, the senior’s ability is literally invincible. Search is a unique skill that takes you to any monster as soon as you find its traces. Because it boasts the highest efficiency in an event like this.’
In this event, where a wide field must be searched, the pie for Kwon So-yul to play an active role is very large.
It was also because he brought her here expecting her performance at this time and enduring friction with the Circle in the first place.
As for Jae-hyun, there is nothing wrong with courting Kwon So-yul in moderation and bribing him.
However, Jaehyun’s words did not end there.
“And one last thing. I don’t know Soyul sunbaenim, but you promised me the rest, right? I will grant you one wish on the condition of being in the same circle as me.”
“…….”
“…….”
The party was silent. It was based on the judgment that it was better to pretend not to know for now since Jaehyun, who has a calculating personality, would not know what to say.
However, the words of Jaehyun that followed were of a completely different kind from what they thought.
“Only once in an outdoor training camp. Even if I give you instructions that I don’t understand, follow them.
No matter what happens, unconditionally. Can you listen?”
Jaehyun gave strength at the end and added that.
The party did not understand his words, but for now, they had no choice but to shake their heads.
No matter what plan Jaehyun has. Now it didn’t matter that much. Currently, in their eyes, only A+ grade multi-billion rings were filled.

The next day. The entrance to the closed city of Daegu, where the outdoor camp is held. A high-pitched voice is heard in the ears of the party gathered at the table.
“Before entering the camp, I will explain a brief background.
First of all, why did Milles Academy start this event…”
The speaker is a very familiar face. Kim Ji-yeon, chairman of the board.
She had visited this place to participate in the event herself.
Jaehyun nodded his head as he continued to speak.
‘It seems that you care about your reputation. To think that the president of Milles Academy would attend a meeting like this.’
It’s nothing to say, but the reputation of the director of Milles Academy is truly enormous.
In fact, right after Ja-in Koo resigned, the name of Ji-yeon Kim, who had just been newly appointed to Milles, spread throughout the country.
Director of the new academy.
Currently, the only people who don’t know her name are foreigners who have recently arrived in Korea.
‘But she directly participates in the academy’s event? There is only one reason.’
Public opinion management.
Kim Ji-yeon is now appealing herself to the cadets and citizens. The sincerity and competence of the newly appointed chairman. What is the reason, of course, the purpose of raising my position.
It was an obvious move, but there was nothing bad about Jaehyun.
An otherwise dangerous event. If Kim Ji-yeon is together, the survival rate of her colleagues will go up even a little more.
By the time Jaehyun finished his thoughts, his long speech was nearing its end. The last sequence is finally a rough description of the outdoor training camp.
In fact, thanks to the handout I received in advance, I knew everything about it, but there was nothing wrong with reviewing the information one more time.
Jaehyun thinks Suddenly, Kim Ji-yeon’s voice begins to follow.
I could feel the stiff shoulders of the group in front of me. It seemed that he was quite nervous.
“The campsite is a long-term event that lasts for a week.
Each of you must move with the members of your circle, and each circle is given nothing but survival kits.
In order to survive, you must actively use the information you have learned at the academy to hunt the monsters. However, to be safe, you must not stray within a radius of 20km from our headquarters here. Violation of this will result in immediate disqualification.”
An overview of basic safety and survival kits. What followed was the full-fledged rules of the outdoor training camp.
“There are a total of two things you need to do during the week.
first. Stay alive. Although this is a shallow area of the field, it is a dangerous place for you, the cadets. If you survive here, you have what it takes to be a good raider.
second. During the time limit, cooperate with each other to hunt as many monsters as possible and collect the tokens. Of course, the higher the grade of the beast, the greater the bonus, so be careful of injuries in the process.”
“What should I do if there is an emergency?”
A girl who had been listening to Kim Ji-yeon silently raised her hand and said.
The familiar face seemed to be that of a freshman in the first year.
Kim Ji-yeon replied with a benevolent smile.
“Do not worry. There will be instructors stationed nearby. If a dangerous situation arises, immediately report it to the instructors instead of hiding it. The most important thing is your safety.
Then, if there are no more questions, this is the end of the description of the outdoor training camp.
I wish you all the best of luck.”
After the last words, the gathered cadets spread out and gather in circles.
Since Jaehyun’s circle had been gathered from the beginning, there was no need to move separately.
“For now, let’s move as we planned the strategy.”
Kwon So-yul nodded at Jae-hyun’s words and asked again.
“Find a place to camp and clean up the surroundings. Then, the full-scale demon subjugation. Right?”
“You have a good memory.”
“Don’t make fun of seniors.”
Kwon So-yul said in a sharp tone.
Jaehyun waved his hands moderately and went forward to receive the survival kit.
The contents are about minimal survival items and light tools. There was also a walkie-talkie that could directly contact the instructor in case of a problem. According to the description, it has been processed with high-strength magical power, so it is said that it will not break even with an attack of 10 tons.
Unfortunately, there was no food included. Since the monsters in the shallow area can be eaten after cooking, they are not stored separately in the kit.
To think he had to cook and eat the monsters he hunted. It was dark in front of their eyes, but Seo Eana was there for Circle Nine.
It probably won’t be a big problem unless you tell them to chew the iron.
“Jaehyun, then where should we start?”
Ahn Ho-yeon asked, but Seo E-na cut off the conversation.
“……wait for a sec. Can’t you feel the gaze over there?”
Seo Ina was pointing her hand in one direction. In fact, Jaehyun had already felt the blatant magic for a long time.
At the end of her gaze were familiar faces. Jaehyun raised an eyebrow.
‘Circle Seed. It seems that the other side decided to check us? It must be because he took senior Kwon So-yul with him. It’s clumsy anyway.’
A few days ago, Jaehyun succeeded in stealing member Kwon Soyul from Sid. It was already expected that there would be friction with them in this process.
‘Well, at least it’s at the level of a cadet.’
Jaehyun laughed. It doesn’t matter how strong they are to him.
It was self-evident that even if Jeong-hyeon, who is now called the strongest of Miles, came, he would not be able to defeat him.
Even though Kwon So-yul knew that it happened because of him, he seemed not to care too much.
“You don’t have to worry anyway. Min Jaehyun, you are much stronger than them.”
“That’s right…”
Jaehyun smiled lightly at those words.
“of course.”
