“Oh, he’s a Player I know” Max nudged Seo Jun-Ho “Greet hihts, Sir Phivir,” he whispered
“It’s nice to meet you I’m Seo Jun-Ho”
“Hmm” Phivir looked hi Looking at that watch, you must be a Player… What level are you?” he asked
“Level 50”
“Interesting” He didn’t look down on Seo Jun-Ho because his level was low On the contrary, Phivir seemed even more impressed because his level was low “You’re talented”
“You flatter me”
“Did you come because you wish to participate in the competition?” Phivir asked
“Yes” Seo Jun-Ho nodded firmly
“My lord wishes tothe hunt Thus, I have been ordered to choose only those who have proven their skills Even with Max’s recommendation, you cannot avoid it”
“I have no intentions of taking a shortcut Hoill you assess my skills?” Seo Jun-Ho said confidently
Phivir turned to the stage, where his knights see “It’s sihts for three minutes, and I will make the decision”
“Ah…” Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes turned to the knights
‘They’re all pretty strong’
“All the knights see?” he asked carefully
“Most of thehts, after all”
“Then, wouldn’t it be pretty easy for them to take out the kobolds on their own?” he asked
Phivir laughed bitterly and shook his head “I cannot tell you the exact details… But at the hts can’t leave their posts for trivial matters That is e need the help of Players and Adventurers Additionally, there are a fair amount of kobolds”
Phivir pointed at the chairs under the tent “Sit there and wait When your turn coe”

“I aht Weaver”
While the Adventurer was coht was completely unarmed, save for a wooden sword and shi+eld
“Here we go!” Fyx raised a long spear and charged at Weaver like a boar, ai for his stomach He was fast, but his attack was too si his sword to block the strike
Clang!
The spear flew into the air and fell to the ground The Adventurer scowled as he felt a prickling pain in his palms as he clenched his hands
“Fail”
Fyx picked up his spear and dragged his feet away People started to whisper…
“Hey, aren’t the standards too high?”
“I think the passing rate has been one every thirty people so far”
“Wow… I thought the competition would be an easy opportunity, but this is intense”
The Adventurers and Players were starting to get nervous, and it was showing There were hts, but none of theh
‘So this is the standard for Frontier knights…It’s quite high’
In terms of levels, they would be somewhere from level 80 to 85, only about two or three tiner
‘Frohts…’
When considering the entire Empire, that meant there were thousands, hts
‘On the other hand, the average Player in Frontier is level 95’
Even though 25 years had already passed, the average level rose very slowly Because of the nature of the job, many Players died early There were also many who retired once they started to find it more difficult to level up
“Huh?”
At that ers fail, aa yellowed martial arts uniform that seemed as if it had once been white The sleeves and hem orn and tattered Seo Jun-Ho watched him with interest
‘He has a Vita on his left wrist… So he’s a Player’

The ht “I aht Weaver” He finished his introduction and raised his hand to stop the challenger “You et seriously injured Is that really okay with you?”
“It doesn’t ht,” Baek Geon-Woo said politely Weaver nodded slowly
As soon as the duel began, Baek Geon-Woo immediately rushed at Weaver
‘His th aren’t bad, but…’
They were too normal It almost made Seo Jun-Ho wonder how this Player on the 2nd floor could be so nor His sharp eyes watched and analyzed every single one of his opponent’s movements, and his body reacted without a moment to rest It was only for an instant, but he even moved five times faster than Weaver at one point
Woosh!+ Woosh!+
Baek Geon-Woo circled the stage, never stopping as he raised his fists But Weaver’s sturdy shi+eld blocked every single attack, and he couldn’t get in a telling blow
‘But still…’
Baek Geon-Woo didn’t seem disappointed In fact, he seeht into the next attack
He wasn’t sure why, but Seo Jun-Ho felt a strange feeling pass through hi back tears As he watched Baek Geon-Woo and was deep in his thoughts, he started to hear the other Players’ voices
