“You cannot cross this line.”
Baek Seol-hee declared in a cold voice.
Although she drew the line like that, she actually felt sad inside.
What she wanted to see at the Utopia party through this test.
The question was whether they could overcome an enemy they could not resist.
The line drawn on the floor was the boundary.
Of course, of course, it took courage and mental strength to prepare for death.
What is more important than anything else is the possibility of going beyond.
In other words, talent.
Distinguishing a person’s usefulness based on talent.
I think it was a cruel thing, but it was inevitable when I thought of Jin Yu-ha.
‘If you think about the path your disciple will take in the future, an ordinary person cannot endure it...’
However, fortunately, most of the guys at the Utopia Party were so talented that I wondered where they got all these guys from.
It goes without saying that Ichikara is the blue-haired guy.
Kang Do-hee, Sophia, and Lim Ga-eul also had an overwhelming amount of talent.
However.
The guy in front of me is different.
It’s like something you’re born with.
That was not enough for a while.
Of course, the one who was the worst was surprisingly his own student, Jin Yuha.
That child was out of the question in the first place.
From the first time I saw Jin Yu-ha, he easily surpassed his shortcomings, and his growth rate was also incomprehensible, so it was not something he could evaluate.
‘So I was wondering if this guy might be like his disciple his... Well, there’s no way such a monster is common.’
Like Jin Yu-ha, he is lacking.
However, unlike that, I don’t see anything beyond that.
You can tell that Yuri Lee has a sincere personality just by looking at the way she holds her shield
Because the traces of her hard work in an unfavorable environment were evident in her movements.
And as if to support this, her mental power was also flawless.
That was disappointing.
‘You reached the wall too soon.’
I could tell right away that it was Baek Sul-hee, who had been stagnant in front of the wall for a long time.
This time, the student’s ability level increased due to the artifact he used, but that’s it.
The other party members still had room to grow, but not this guy.
She may seem similar to others now, but the more we get together, the more the differences will quickly widen.
There was another bad habit.
That is ‘avoidance.’
In the face of an attack that Yuri can never block with her own strength, she chooses to dodge or dodge, rather than holding up a shield to block.
Of course, I heard from my student that in the previous request, he single-handedly blocked a huge attack.
To evaluate it calmly, it is a momentary wit that attracts other monsters and kills their power.
It was just blocking a ‘blockable’ attack.
‘Dodging is a gesture that I have learned as my main weapon since I was very young. It is impossible to change a habit that is so deeply rooted now.’
If you continue to choose to avoid attacks that you cannot resist,
One day, you will hear the sound of that habit even in places where it must be prevented.
And that inevitably means putting Jin Yu-ha and other party members in danger.
Otherwise, she will be the first to die.
As a tank in charge of the party’s safety, I was disqualified.
With that series of evaluations.

Baek Seol-hee eventually had no choice but to put her cruel words in her mouth.
“Give up. Cadet Yuri Lee.”
*
“This is not meant to disparage you. Rather, I say this because I acknowledge you.”
That low voice rang in Yu-ri Lee’s ears as if she were underwater.
‘To admit it... Give up? What kind of bullshit is that...’
My body was already in shambles from numerous tests.
A cold feeling rose from my forehead that touched the floor.
The deep sword marks drawn in front of her were reflected in her empty pupils
‘What can you say... ‘
All you have to do is take one step.
Kang Do-hee, Sophia, Lim Ga-eul, and even Ichika, who had just arrived, succeeded in crossing the line in front of her.
But, why, why.
Can’t she just get over this?
‘······That’s all the difference in talent?’
Parr─
The corners of my pursed lips were trembling.
It was as if this line was speaking.
That’s it for you.
If you do this, you’ve done well enough.
So stop now.
“You have already reached your limit. No matter how much you practice, you only become a little more skilled. It is impossible to become stronger than this. Give up.”
Baek Seol-hee again encouraged her to give up in an unusually kind voice.
Impossible.
Lee Yu-ri’s eyes became blurred at those words, which were like a terminal sentence.
‘So, you can’t be with Jin Yuha anymore...?’
From noble mtl dot com
Suddenly, the moment she first met Jin Yu-ha came into her mind
Before entering the academy,
The dealer who was originally supposed to attack Camilla’s Forest dungeon together got punctured without saying a word.
A man who joined the hastily sought position as a substitute.
─ I’m an academy cadet, right?
How surprised he was when he saw that face.
Even fellow party members expressed distrustful doubts, asking if it was right to be a hunter with that face.
─ Nakey in front. There are two.
However, as if to laugh at the suspicion.
He proved himself by showing amazing skills.
─ My, my food─!
He was also so embarrassed when his food was taken away from him, who was eating plastic rice alone in the dungeon.
─ I can’t eat this much. I think Yuna took more care of that guy.
It was truly amazing that he instantly connected with me without any sense of distance when I saw him for the first time.
And that day, thanks to Jin Yu-ha’s performance, we conquered the dungeon earlier than usual.
He challenged the unknown
He was even surrounded by a group of goblins that suddenly appeared.
─ Everyone───!! Retreat─!!!!!
And he led a group of goblins into the deep forest and decided to sacrifice himself.
─ Tsk······. Really, I thought I could become quite close with Jin Yu-ha if I went to the academy together.
Yes, he thought that as he watched the green waves of goblins rolling in front of him.
It was then.
At that moment of crisis.
A man appeared as if it were a lie and saved him.
─ Then, let’s go together, Gukbap.
.
.
.
.
─ So, it’s a suggestion. Can you be the tank for my party? There are people we plan to bring in separately, but you are the first to make an official recruitment offer.
─ How about me? Is this someone you need at your party?
─ It was like that from the beginning, and now it must be.
─ Okay, if you look at me now... Well, I don’t have anything to say... Because it’s all decorated with the things you gave me. Maybe other people would see me as a successful bitch who is good at meeting men. A lucky bitch like a dog who had a rough life.
─ What do you mean, your gift will be a piece of trash? Of all the gifts I received today, I like yours the most.
─ Someone touched our soup!!!!!!!
─ So, let’s move.
─ You’ve come all the way to the sea, but you’re only going to be watching other people? Now, look. This is the sea.
The subsequent scenes with him flash through my mind like a panorama.
Kick─
Suddenly, laughter leaked from Yu-ri Lee’s mouth.
“······Why aren’t you using the once-a-month free pass to Yuri that you gave me before? “I like it so much, but was it really acting?”
Family, home, poverty, talent, effort.
His world was always miserable and colored in gray and white.
However, that colorless world began to shine in such a colorful way after meeting Jin Yu-ha.
And.
─ Yuri Lee, please take on the role of commander of our Utopia.
A suppressed voice came out of Yu-ri Lee’s mouth as she placed her head on the floor.
“I know. “I am not the most talented.”
I already knew it well from the time I was first caught between Shin Se-hee and Kang Do-hee.
This fact is nothing particularly new.
Yes.
I fell behind.
“Still, I promised to raise my shield...”
But, I feel so inadequate.
He never had any doubts.
I trust you.
I trust you.
Supported.
“So, I promised...”
I decided to stay by Jin Yu-ha’s side and protect him, risking my life.
I put my faith in front of the shield.
By the way.
“I don’t even know what this shield means to me...”
Beetle.
Beetle.
Yuri Lee’s body slowly rises up using the shield as support.
I lifted my tear-stained face.
“Stop it...?”
Her eyes reflected the moonlight and gave off a bright blue glow.
Kwadeuk─
Blood flowed out of my clenched mouth.
“If you go any further than that, you could really die. “Your body is not normal right now.”
That damn instructor’s cold voice.
Puddeuddeuk─
The veins bulged and strength went into the hand holding the shield.
“Shut up!!!!!”
Yuri Lee, holding a shield, kicked his feet and charged.
So cute~!!!!
A force that cannot be stopped by her own strength crushes her head as if it were splitting open.
Sensitive intuition and accumulated habits whisper in her ear
Run away from here right now.
Avoid to the side.
Let it out somehow.
There is no other way.
It has to be that way.
The reputation of the past that had built up over a long period of time grabbed hold of Lee Yu-ri’s ankles and wouldn’t let go.
Yu-ri Lee opened her mouth and shouted, as if trying to ward off those voices.
“I am—!!!!”
In front of a sword striking fiercely from top to bottom,
A girl raising a shield.
“It’s a shield that will protect Jin Yuha!!!!!!!!!!”
* * *
A quiet training ground with the moon rising.
Baek Seol-hee was still standing there as tall as a straight sword.
She looked blankly at a girl who had fallen in front of her.
Beside her, the remains of the broken shield were strewn about randomly.
“······Stupid bitch.”
He was truly a stupid guy.
Rushing in even when you know it won’t work isn’t courage, it’s recklessness.
It’s not ambition, it’s courage.
Sometimes, it is right to know your limits and stop there.
Yes, this guy was definitely like that.
“But,”
Baek Seol-hee looked at the line drawn in front of her.
“Because you’re so stupid...”
Food─
“Miracles are sometimes created.”
Yu-ri Lee’s footprints crossing the line as if invading it.
Her footprints left deep marks as if to prove themselves.
“Cadet Yuri Lee. “I passed.”
Baek Seol-hee, with a light smile, declared that she had passed in a calm voice in her silence.
