Chapter 25 - Mock Dungeon Trial (2)

"Salamander? Does anyone here have the water attribute?"

Jayden asked as he stretched, but there was no 17 year old cadet who had accepted the mana of water. At the very least, one had to have undergone enlightenment to do so. It seemed Jayden didn't expect much, as he held up his sword without being disappointed.

"Well, I'm sure it'll be easy."

I also took out my handgun. A Salamander of that size should be low-intermediate rank grade 6.

Eight people were more than enough to kill it. But what worried me was how easy it seemed.

The team members walked forward with their senses heightened.

"Oh, there it is."

Jayden pointed at the Salamander loafing around on the ground.

"...So you were right. I guess it's true you can find dog turd if you want to use it for medicine."

"It's the other way, retard."

Jayden glared at me but quietly asked Kim Jingyu.

"Wasn't I right?"

"About what?"

"The Proverb. That you can find dog turd if you want to use it for medicine."

"It's the opposite, you can't find dog turd even if you want to use it for medicine."

"...Oh."

After realizing his mistake, Jayden glanced at Yoo Yeonha, fearful that he had disappointed her. But Yoo Yeonha seemed uninterested in our conversation, as she imbued her magic power into her whip and prepared for battle.

"Get ready. Though, if it's a switch, it should be a piece of cake. Huup!"

Yoo Yeonha swung her whip, which shot towards the Salamander's tail like a snake.

"Kueek—"

With its tail tied up by Yoo Yeonha's whip, the Salamander couldn't use its most powerful attack, firebreath.

Immediately afterwards, Kim Jingyu shot an arrow at its eye, while the warriors rushed forward to cut its skin.

In the blink of an eye, the Salamander was killed.

There wasn't anything for me to do.

"Easy as pie. That was amazing, Yoo Yeonha-ssi. How did you instantly grab its tail like that?"

Jayden flattered Yoo Yeonha, to which she returned a smile.

Feeling vain at how easy the fight was, I stepped towards them.

At that moment...

Thwick. I tripped on a rock. I fell forward silently and instinctively grabbed onto what was in front of me. Most likely, it was Yoo Yeonha's head.

"Kyak—"

A high-pitched scream rang out.

At the same time, a sharp and unnatural object brushed past my hand and Yoo Yeonha's hair.

Thud.

Yoo Yeonha fell.

"W-What? Is it an ambush!?"

Jayden made a fuss as he pointed his weapon in all directions. Soon, his eyes landed on me. I was kneeled with my hand ramming Yoo Yeonha's head to the ground.

"..."

"..."

Jayden and the rest of the cadets stared blankly at a loss for words.
