Regressor’s Life After Retirement

—————————————

[ (Side Story) Won’t you join me? ]

[Attention everyone!]

A voice echoes loudly throughout the testing room. Everyone’s heads turned to where the voice came from.

-Jeeeeee!

A red gate opened in the center of the testing room, and a man wearing black armor walked out of it.

When he appeared, it felt like the large testing room was immediately filled.

The more sensitive the test takers were to mana, the more white their faces became.

‘Incredible magical power…!’

‘What kind of person has such an incredible presence?’

-thud! thud!

It felt like the entire mountain was moving with each step I took. The floor shook as if there had been an earthquake.

A man who exudes an even more fearsome presence even though he is extremely restrained in the magical energy flowing from his large body.

“Nice to meet you.”

After seeing that attention was focused on him, the man lowered his voice and raised his helmet.

Inside was a surprisingly simple-looking face.

“Huh!”

“That person!”

The moment the man revealed his face, the faces of the test takers, who had turned pale, turned pale with shock.

And soon, tremendous excitement and cheers erupted from the test takers.

“Mr. Wang Guho!”

“Humanity’s strongest wall!”

“Landlord’s shield!”

Before coming to the final exam site, test takers met heroes disguised as demon kings and passed the test.

But even in their eyes, Wang Guho was a special being.

The best companion who stayed by the side of the great hero Lease-in until the end!

Also, the team leader of the WH-7 team, which is currently building a legend!

“Nice to meet you. “I…”

It was the moment when Wang Guho was about to open his mouth softly.

“You guys know that?”

Suddenly, one test taker was so moved that he began to shed tears and tell stories that the test takers around him had not asked about.

“It is said that just before the landlord passed away in the demon world, he held Wang Guho’s hand and said this. Rescue army! From now on, the peace of the universe is in your hands…”

‘Team leader never said that!’

– Wang Guhao wanted to shout, but in this situation, he had to desperately maintain a solemn expression.

“Hmm. I…”

“This happened again!”

Wang Guho tried to draw attention to himself again, but was immediately drowned out by the candidate’s voice.

The test taker looked back at the test takers like an orator on a podium and spoke passionately.

“It was when the landlord suffered serious injuries from the devil’s attack and collapsed! Wang Gu-ho carried him and broke through hundreds of kilometers of enemy lines…”

‘What kind of person is the team leader and he got injured? And do you want to keep the potion and make some soup?’

…No matter what the truth is, Wang Guho, known to the world, was a tremendous hero.

His personal fame and recognition was actually higher than that of Baek Chang-soo, who is called the Strongest Man on Earth.

No,

“People in the world say CEO Baek Chang-soo is the strongest, but I absolutely don’t think that way! “Guho Wang is just hiding his power to prevent WH Group from splitting into two because of him!”

‘Please stop…’

Wang Guho looked at the test taker who had already praised him excessively with an absurd and slightly strange gaze.

A boy with a thin appearance and wearing glasses – glasses were probably a fashion item – was persuading the audience with a tear-filled face.

Moreover, more than half of the test takers were already nodding their heads, moved by the boy’s story.

Of course, the boy was eloquent, but not just for that reason.

Wang Guhao’s eyes shone sharply.

‘He’s a kid with a unique personality. I was aiming for the moment when the test takers were shocked by my appearance and were psychologically

disturbed …’

I had no intention of watching.

Also, the test has not started yet.

“stop.”

-thud!

When Wang Guho stomped his feet with magical power, the students who had been mesmerized by the boy’s words suddenly came to their senses. But they didn’t realize what had happened to them until just now.

Wang Guhu said to the boy with glasses.

“I will introduce myself myself.”

“I’m sorry! I was presumptuous! Wang Guho is my idol, so stop….”

“…….”

The boy with glasses bowed repeatedly and apologized.

A face that looks too innocent to scold.

Wang Guhao saw that he was overly clever for a young boy, but he nodded without saying anything.

“it’s okay.”

At that moment, a look of relief flashed across the boy’s face.

You didn’t notice?

With a subtle sneer that carries that meaning.

…I couldn’t help but feel a little uncomfortable.

‘If it were like before, I might have been angry…’

The experience accumulated over the past few years made Wang Guhao a stronger person both physically and mentally.

It was funny to be angry at a young boy for trying to take advantage of him a little.

‘It’s not like I’m going to step forward myself.’

Wang Gu-ho, who caught a glimpse of the boy wearing glasses, sighed inwardly at the burdensome gaze of the test takers who were looking at him with bright eyes.

‘Ugh. ‘This is all because of the team leader.’

Daein manipulated his own death and distributed most of his achievements to his colleagues.

Nevertheless, the landlord remained an immortal hero, but the biggest beneficiary and victim(?) in the process was none other than Wang Guho.

“Nice to meet you. Candidates who have arrived at the final mission location. “This is Wang Gu-ho, who will explain to you the final mission.”

Wow!

Cheers and applause erupted once again. Wang Guhao waited for a while for the noise to subside before speaking.

“Now I will explain the final mission.”

-Just right!

When Wang Guhao snapped his fingers, dozens of gates began to open to his left and right.

-Jeeeeee! Jeeeeee!

-Jeeeeee! Jeeeeee!

-Jeeeeee! Jeeeeee!

-Jeeeeee! Jeeeeee!

The gates all glowed an ominous red.

Candidates looked at the gate with nervous expressions.

“You guys should go in there now…”

That was the time.

-Quaang!

The door to the final exam room opened violently, almost as if it would break, and the last team arrived at the exam site.

“hello!”

It was a quite unusual combination of parties.

Three girls and one knight.

And… the big dog that the girls rode on.

Lily, who jumped off Su Xinhan’s back, spotted Wang Guhao and raised her hand in joy.

“oh! Hogu… Eup! Hello Teacher!”

Lily covered her mouth in the middle, but everyone had already heard the word “hogu.”

Murmur.

‘What a hoggu. “Aren’t you crazy?”

‘Two oranges and one green. Two white ones? ‘What kind of party is that?’

As soon as Lily and her group entered the exam room, they received harsh glares from everyone.

Thanks to fighting with Minjae for hours, their clothes were more tattered than anyone else’s.

Plus the bands they wear on their wrists.

Two orange bands are also common here, one was green and two were white.

This is far below the average level of test takers here.

In other words

, ‘These are the kids who were lucky enough to pass.’

I couldn’t help but think,

‘The standard has really fallen…’

Most people did not welcome them, but among them, the reactions of Youngshin Jang and Shin Kurodama were the most intense.

“…Lily.”

“You’re here as expected!”

They looked at Lily with happy smiles, but the test takers, who had already accumulated enough misunderstandings about the two boys, thought differently.

‘They must be really angry! He’s staring at me like he’s going to kill me…’

‘It’s the look in the eyes of a psychopath just before murder!’

‘They’re both walking that way? ‘Shouldn’t I stop it?’

It was when the two boys, blinded by love, walked towards Lily with long strides.

-Quaaaang!

“…Please concentrate.”

Wang Guhao glared particularly harshly at the two boys.

-you. You’re not planning on acting like you’re friends with Lily in a crowded place like this, are you?

The boy who was walking towards Lily stopped when he heard Wang Guho’s voice. Both had sullen expressions.

After sorting out the situation, Wang Guho looked at Lily in confusion.

“…I will have the team that just arrived participate in this mission.”

“yes! Ho…Guho teacher!”

‘What is hoguho? Ho-gu-ho-ga.’

Wang Guhao let out a small sigh and continued speaking.

“From now on, you will choose one of these gates to enter and perform your mission.”

“Beyond the gate is a virtual space that combines subspace magic and virtual reality technology. “There are several races of virtual city people and monsters in there.”

“You have to clear the main mission there. The deadline is one day. But time passes ten times faster there than it does here, so you only have ten days.”

He said that all of the more than 20 gates have different terrain and settings, and that you can’t tell what they are like until you go in.

“It’s a virtual reality, but you can actually get injured, get sick, or even die in there.”

gulp.

Someone swallowed dryly when he heard that he could die.

“So, please be sure to think and act that the world inside is ‘real.’”

Although Wang Guho particularly emphasized the word ‘real’, most of the test takers did not understand the meaning of ‘real’.

“The final mission will test a variety of abilities, not just your combat prowess. The ability to cooperate among team members, improvisation in unexpected situations, what you choose when you have to make a choice… everything is subject to evaluation.”

Some people probably thought it was a courtesy explanation, but their expressions showed boredom.

‘what. It’s the same as what I’ve done so far.’

‘Yes, the main focus is probably combat.’

Until the next words are spoken.

“Three teams will enter each gate and compete.”

“!!”

“Complete the final mission before competing teams. The two losing teams will have their points deducted and then take a retest.”

At that moment, the expressions of the test takers hardened.

If you lose, your points will be deducted and you will have to retake the test.

The story was that the probability of passing the entrance exam was significantly reduced.

One test taker hurriedly raised his hand and asked.

“How is the opposing team decided to join together?”

Although the test takers here had been filtered out, there were differences in level.

For example, if you were to face a team like Jang Young-shin or Kurodama Shin, it was almost impossible to win.

Moreover, some teams had only 5 people, while others had more than 10 people.

If your luck is bad, you may not be able to do anything and lose.

Wang Guho’s answer was simple.

“I want you to decide that for yourself. “There are 24 teams, so there will be a total of 8 groups.”

“…yes?”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Irresponsible!”

Wang Guhao said resolutely, crossing his arms.

He did not even give test takers time to air their complaints.

“The test has already started. “The faster the team completes the mission, the more points it receives.”

The test takers’ heads began to spin.

The teams that must be avoided at all costs in this competitive mission are Jang Young-shin and Kurodama Shin.

So which team should you absolutely catch?

Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to Lily and the others.

‘We have to do it with them!’

‘The weakest team!’

‘There are only 5 people, and 2 of them are white band!’

Everyone had similar thoughts, but there was one boy who moved before anyone else.

“hi?”

When Wang Guho first appeared at the test site, he was a boy with glasses who mesmerized the test takers with his strange abilities.

“This mission. “Would you like to join me?”

The boy with glasses smiled kindly and spoke to Lily, and Lily nodded without much hesitation.

“good! Let’s do it together!”

At that moment, flames spewed out from the eyes of the two boys.
