Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ (Side Story) Image transformation! ]

[The test method is simple. Starting today, survive on this island for 7 days to earn points.]

Gulp.

Nervous test takers swallowed their saliva. An explanation followed by a hard mechanical sound.

[You can check your points using the smart band sent with your test result. Applicants, please wear the smart band immediately.]

The smart band was in the form of a leather bracelet the width of a finger and had the same color as the line assigned to each candidate.

-Wheeeee!

The LCD at the center of the smart band worn by the test takers turned on and the points the user had were displayed on it.

Murmur.

“I think it starts with 10,000 points.”

“what? “I have 5,000?”

“I’m 30,000?”

“This… I think the basic points are different depending on the color of the band?”

There was an awkward silence among the test takers who had been murmuring for a moment at someone’s words.

“…….”

The entrance exam was said to be about ‘surviving by earning points for a week.’

Candidates basically start with a certain number of points, which are displayed on their bracelet.

That means….

‘Score Stealing Survival!’

A similar thought occurred in everyone’s mind and they immediately began to twitch their arms and be wary of those around them.

An explanation of the mechanical sound continued.

[Points can be earned by hunting monsters on the island, winning battles between test takers, obtaining hidden items, clearing additional missions, etc.] [

However, if you cause death or intentionally cause serious injury to another test taker, you will be immediately kicked out. .]

[Instructors are stationed throughout the island, and when you meet them, you can get help or receive additional missions.] [

After the exam ends, only test takers who have earned a certain number of points will be eligible to enter WHA.]

[More detailed rules can be found in the [Help] function on the smart band.]

Even before the explanation of the system was finished, the sharp-witted candidates had already finished calculating and were looking around.

‘It’s almost impossible to survive alone for a week.’

‘You need to form a team with strong candidates.’

‘At least someone with a similar or higher color bracelet to me.’

The fast-moving candidates have already started moving, slipping over to the other line. The system did not stop their movement.

“Hey…”

“Are you planning on forming a team?”

“Looking for a party with yellow band or higher!”

There has already been a movement here and there to form teams by checking the colors of each other’s smart bands.

Naturally, the ranks were divided according to the color of the band, and the front line (red, orange, yellow) was more popular.

The popularity of the boys with only two red bands went without saying.

“Jang Young-shin. “Would you like to party with us?”

“Kurodama-san! “I’ve been a fan for a long time!”

“If you team up with me, you don’t have to do anything. “I will do everything from watch to watch and prepare meals.”

It was a natural result that applicants flocked around Youngshin Jang and Shin Kurodama, who were almost certain to be admitted.

As the recruitment competition heated up, the two boys were quickly surrounded.

“…sorry. sorry.”

“Please get out of the way. “I have someone else I want to team up with…”

The two boys sweated hard and tried to escape the siege, but it was not easy.

No matter how strong they are, they are both teenage boys.

It was not easy to resolutely fight off people who came with goodwill, even if they were enemies you had to fight against.

In the meantime, they had to keep each other in check.

‘We can’t let this guy go to Lily!’

‘If I can’t go, you can’t go either!’

And if there are applicants who are popular with everyone, there are naturally going to be unpopular applicants.

Huiiiing~

Soshinhan quenched his appetite as he looked around the dreary surroundings where a cold wind was blowing.

“I expected it, but it wasn’t a joke from the start…”

There was no one around Soshinhan and Lily.

Candidates who received the same white band had already moved to save the party on the other side.

‘but. ‘It’s worth it.’

Soshinhan confirmed his and Lily’s points.

[Current Points: 0]

The White Band was the lowest class here.

Who would want to have someone with the fewest starting points and unproven abilities as a colleague?

“Whoa.”

It was almost like I couldn’t help but sigh.

[The entrance exam will begin in 1 minute. Applicants, please prepare.]

“!!”

Candidates began to tense their bodies.

Those who had already formed a solid team smiled brightly, while those who did not looked around with an anxious look.

Soshinhan tensed his body and was alert to his surroundings, whispering softly to Lily next to him. The voice was more serious than ever.

“Never leave my side. “Because you never know when an attack will come.”

Meanwhile, Lily, who was exchanging messages with someone on her smartphone, looked up at Soshinhan and said.

“Isn’t there anyone near us?”

At those immature words, Soshinhan clicked his tongue without realizing it.

“There are so many talented people in this universe. Hiding and then making a surprise attack is nothing. So, you have to keep your head straight. “This is like a real fight.”

So Shinhan could not imagine that the girl next to him had been living with a man for several years who had a sense of energy 100 times more sensitive than his own, had countless practical experiences, and had the most perfect hiding ability in the world.

“Hmm…”

So Lily just smiled and nodded.

“huh. Thank you, Mr. Soah.”

“Even if I get hurt, I will keep you safe. “Because I promised the boss.”

If someone had heard, they would have asked me when I made that promise and told them to please take care of themselves.

A minute passed anxiously.

30 seconds…. 20 seconds…. 10 seconds….

And

[5 seconds later, all test takers move randomly across the island.]

“Wait a minute!”

“How can you do that all of a sudden!”

“This is crazy…”

The candidates who had already formed teams were confused and confused by the system’s sudden declaration.

But everyone’s bodies had already begun to be engulfed in light.

Soshinhan, with wide eyes, said as he grabbed Lily’s shoulder.

“Wait a minute, Lily! I’ll go find you somehow! It may be scary to be alone, but if you just endure it for a little while…

“You know, Mr. Soa. “I’m fine.”

Lily sighed softly and continued.

“Take care of yourself, uncle.”

“…uh?”

oh. I didn’t mean to hurt you.

The moment Lily was about to say something more,

[the exam begins. Good luck to everyone.]

-Paaaaaat!

All the test takers who were engulfed in light were moved to another place.

***

Blink blink.

I blinked and looked around, but couldn’t see anything.

But Lily knew right away where this was.

“It’s a cave?”

-Howling!

Flames rose from the darkness and illuminated the surroundings.

As expected, it was inside a cave and there was nothing around.

“I wish there was a bear…”

Lily looked around the cave while quenching her appetite, took out her smartphone and sent a message to the friend she had been messaging with just moments ago.

[Where are you now?]

But

– it is a restricted communication area. –

All communication devices were unusable during the test period.

Instead, only the white band on my wrist showed the current time and the points I had.

[Current points: 0]

“I still have no points, but… I have to work hard to earn points and pass!”

Lily, who had strengthened her resolve, recalled the conversation she had with Daein last night.

‘kid. You know that you, like me, were officially treated as dead in action, right? I also erased all previous records.’

‘huh!’

‘It can be annoying if people see you. So, there are a few things to watch out for during the test.’

‘What is it?’

‘first. Do not use flames during the test. Unless it’s really something to be done.’

‘second. You shouldn’t pretend to know famous people like the CEO or a famous person in a crowded place. I may think of you through association. Just by looking at Hogu, you can see how tiring life gets when you become famous, right?’

The great man who had spoken so far asked with a curious expression.

‘If you want to become famous even now, I have no intention of stopping you…’

Lily shook her head resolutely.

‘no. ‘My dream is to become a comfortable unemployed person like you!’

‘I taught you, but you really…’

The great man shook his head with a deep sigh and left the room, and Lily packed her bags.

Lily didn’t want to be famous.

Then you can’t play outside anytime you want and people bother you.

But I wanted to go to the same school as my friends.

‘You must not use flames. ‘It would be very annoying if I got caught.’

So how can you pass the exam without your identity being discovered?

Lily thought hard.

This is the conclusion I came to.

“It’s an image change!”

Lily opened the bag she had brought and took out the combat uniform and equipment she had brought to change her image.

One day, I imitated the speaking style of an MC I saw on a music program.

“Lily, the martial arts girl! Debut imminent!”

The eyes that looked at the new combat uniform were shining brightly.

***

36 hours after the test begins.

“Krrr….”

Soshinhan was running through the forest while using [Wolf Shoes].

I felt a burning thirst as I had not been able to drink water for a day, and the wounds on my body from several battles were sore.

This island is crazy!

Monsters unleashed by WHA, battle robots, traps, and other test takers running around with their eyes lit up trying to steal points… ‘I

was glad I got a white band. ‘Because they thought it was nothing special and everyone followed after me.’

In just one and a half days, Soshinhan’s mind was filled with the word ‘giving up’.

However, I gritted my teeth once more and shook off the negative thoughts.

How can you give up already after this second chance!

Besides…

‘If I were like this as an adult, Lily would be in a much more difficult situation by now.’

Even I knew that Lily was not an ordinary person.

Because during our first meeting, I saw him defeating a large group of wyverns with magic.

‘But she’s still a little girl.’

Common sense tells us that there is no way such a young girl would have been in such a scary environment alone.

Moreover, most of the applicants here now are people who have been called geniuses around the world.

Compared to that….

‘Even if Lily did well here, it would be at an average level.’

So we have to go help quickly.

‘How scared are you right now? You must be very hungry. I’m sure you didn’t get hurt somewhere.’

If Lily had been hurt, how would she have looked at the boss?

Of course, the WHA would treat the injury, but at that age, even a small injury could become a major trauma.

“You must have experienced almost no hardships in your life and grew up well…”

Soshinhan muttered nervously, putting even more pressure on his feet and speeding up.

Fortunately, his personality is [wolf-like]

Sniff!

When you use your personality, your sense of smell develops hundreds of times more.

Soshinhan was searching for Lily’s scent with his sense of smell.

Nevertheless, the reason it took a day and a half to get here was because we had to avoid so many traps and enemies.

‘I’m almost close!’

However, So Shinhan’s expression soon darkened noticeably.

The monster’s scent was mixed with Lily’s scent.

Strong smell and there are several of them.

“Awwwwww-!”

Soshinhan howled for a long time and ran with all his might.

I planned to quickly arrive at the battlefield and help Lily, or if the situation was difficult, I would carry Lily and escape.

‘Hold on just a little while!’

And after a while, Soshinhan had no choice but to apply the brakes with his whole body and stop.

Sniff!

It definitely smells right over there…

“Lily Lily?”

Why is there in front of me not a girl with long straight hair wearing a pretty pink dress, but

“Abyoot-!”

Could it be that the dumpling-haired girl wearing a one-piece yellow training suit is throwing a dropkick at the ogre?

“Kwaeeek!”

The ogre was being beaten one-sidedly by a girl less than half his age.

“Kwaaaah!”

“Kwaaaah!”

As her colleague was attacked, other ogres rushed at the girl on both sides at the same time.

Swish! Swish!

The dumpling-headed girl dodged the attack with a strange movement and then turned halfway to the side.

Whirling!

Then, the two ogres’ movements overlapped back and forth and were in a straight line with the girl.

It’s a move that’s enough to be called a peak expert!

“Ha!”

thud!

The girl, who took a strong step forward, snuggled into the arms of the ogre in front of her and twisted her shoulders.

Perfect angle, perfect RBI.

Cheolsango (鉄山靠) exploded and the sound of drums was heard.

-Tooooooooo!!!

The two ogres tangled together and flew tens of meters before crashing into a large rock. And I couldn’t move again.

“Whew. “It was difficult to control my strength.”

Lily wiped a drop of sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand, looked back and shouted in surprise.

I knew that Uncle Soa was running towards me, but…

“Uncle! “What does that look like!”

Kiing….

There, a large wolf with scratches and chafing all over its body was looking at the girl with a pitiful expression, its ears drooping.
