Chapter 75
Ho-Yeong has recruited a martial artist with a hidden class!
As the news spread like wildfire, the guilds that were planning to recruit the martial artist had their plans cut short before they even began.
"Damn it! Ho-Yeong found him."
"That damn martial artist... He keeps going around in secret, so how can we find him?"
From the capsule event to the hidden class that appeared on the Korean server, the second class advancement, and the siege.
They were convinced.
That all the martial artists were the same person.
Otherwise, Yeo Min-Ji, the so-called martial arts maniac, wouldn't have participated in the siege event.
"How did Ho-Yeong know?"
"I wonder..."
It wasn't just any guild, it was Ho-Yeong.
Especially Yeo Min-Ji, who was obsessed with martial arts, was famous for not being interested in recruiting talent, even though she was an executive.
But she made a move.
She must have brought him in by offering an outrageous amount of money.
"Let's give up..."
"Ha, what a shame."
Even if the martial artist was trash, if he showed that level of performance, it meant he was different from the start.
They were very sorry to have missed out on a super promising prospect.
The same was true for the Myth Guild.
Lee Hwa-Rang and Park Jin-Hyeok were having a heated conversation about the martial artist.
"Is that true?! The martial artist used a bow?"
Lee Hwa-Rang's eyes gleamed fiercely.
Park Jin-Hyeok, sitting across from him, nodded.
"Yes. That's what the users who participated in the siege event said."
"...What did the bow look like?"
"I don't know what it looked like, but they said it was gray?"
"Really? Then it's not it. Damn it!"
The Red Dragon Bone Bow was a bow with a red frame and the head of a Red Dragon shaped on it.
He thought he had found a clue, but it was not to be.
"Anyway, the guild leader seems to be disappointed too. A martial artist of that level would be a suitable talent for the Myth Guild."
He had single-handedly defeated the Lv.175 Dragonia, who had been adjusted to Lv.150 and used Breath and Extinction.
This meant that the martial artist had a skill that could nullify Extinction.
In other words, he was the first hidden class to appear on the Korean server.
"That's right. A martial artist with a bow... It means there's something that allows him to use skills from other classes."
Hidden classes were very diverse and their performance was outstanding.
So it wasn't an impossible story.
Of course, he couldn't be sure.
There was currently no information about the hidden class of martial artists.
Park Jin-Hyeok gave a short exclamation of admiration.
"Oh, that's a good approach. You were thinking of Steadfast Will, weren't you?"
"Yes."
The reason Lee Hwa-Rang made such an assumption was because of the passive skill given to martial artists.
"Indeed... If that's the case, it could be a hidden class related to Steadfast Will."
Steadfast Will.
It was one of the skills that was virtually useless and received no attention.
But what if the hidden class was related to Steadfast Will?
It would surely cause a sensation in New World.
"That must be why the guild leader is disappointed. It's because Ho-Yeong took the talent."
Ho-Yeong was ranked lower than Myth, but it was not a guild to be ignored.
If they tried to take away the talent that such a guild had taken, they would have to consider the possibility of war.
So Myth had no choice but to give up.
"This will prevent other guilds from approaching."
Yeo Min-Ji made a V sign with her fingers.
"Yes."
Even he thought that the performance he showed in the event was abnormal.
Especially in the last wave, he had defeated Dragonia alone, even though many eyes were on him.
He didn't expect Ling Ling to appear and deal damage to the users, and then send out Dragonia.
The moment the base was destroyed, he would repeat the past, so it was an inevitable choice.
"Then shall we start?"
Yeo Min-Ji stood in front of Jeong-Hoon with an expectant face.
They were in the training ground.
Only guild members who had joined Ho-Yeong could use it, and Jeong-Hoon was able to enter because he had become a member of Ho-Yeong.
"Let's do it."
But not far away, he could feel countless guild members watching them.
They couldn't hold back their curiosity and came in because she had personally brought in the martial artist and rumors were circulating that he was the first martial artist to obtain a hidden class.
"Shall I kick them out?"
Yeo Min-Ji asked tactfully, seeing Jeong-Hoon glance at them.
"Yes. And I have a favor to ask. From now on, during martial arts training, I would like you to pretend that you are teaching me."
This was just a place for him to coach her on her shortcomings.
Also, she was the number one martial artist in Korea.
It wouldn't look normal for him to be teaching a martial artist like that.
"Alright."
Yeo Min-Ji seemed to understand what Jeong-Hoon meant and sent the guild members out of the training ground.
Now only Jeong-Hoon and Yeo Min-Ji were left in the training ground.
"Now, before we start, let me see your martial arts. Please use only Wind Fist for your skills."
Jeong-Hoon pointed his chin at the scarecrow in front of him.
The scarecrow was level 300.
And he had abnormally increased its health and defense so that it could withstand her martial arts dozens of times.
"Yes."
Yeo Min-Ji took a stance.
Then she used footwork to get close to the scarecrow and started using martial arts.
At first, she mixed normal attacks with Wind Fist to inflict damage.
Jeong-Hoon watched the scene in silence.
[Wind Fist 2nd Form]
When a certain amount of damage and combo was accumulated, Wind Fist evolved by one level.
Wind Fist consisted of a total of 7 forms, and 1st form was only at the level of a second class combat skill of other classes.
However, as it moved on to 2nd form, its power increased.
After that, 3rd form, 4th form, and 5th form unfolded, and Wind Fist was finished.
"Phew, I'm done."
Currently, 5 forms was the limit of Wind Fist that Yeo Min-Ji could perform.
To connect up to 7th form, she had to reach level 400 and complete the 5th class advancement.
"There are many weaknesses."
Jeong-Hoon simply pointed out her problems.
It was natural for her posture to collapse since she had to focus on striking.
It was nearly impossible to take care of everything due to the characteristics of the martial artist's skills.
[Please buff the martial artist, you damn bastards]
-Are you kidding me? To activate the 3rd core skill, you have to accumulate damage and combos with normal attacks. What kind of bullshit is this? It's really fucking annoying ㅡㅡ
└You did it wrong lol Who forced you?
└You stubbornly kept playing even though we told you not to, and now look at you lol
└This game has always had a terrible balance lol You need to raise something efficient
└Idiotㅉㅉ Martial artists are worse than trash later on, why bother lol
└The person above is being so harsh lol
Even though martial artists cried out for buffs, Earth blatantly ignored them, and users were busy mocking them.
That was the current evaluation of martial artists.
"If I don't do this, the damage doesn't accumulate."
She focused her mana on her fist and exploded the accumulated mana upon impact, accumulating damage.
At this time, her center of gravity shifted forward, exposing a gap.
Yeo Min-Ji knew this and covered it with equipment, but that was also reaching its limit.
"It's because you're obsessed with dealing damage. There's a way to explosively increase damage without having to do that."
"Yes?"
"Martial artists have a passive. It's called Critical Hit."
"Critical Hit?"
She tilted her head.
It was a basic passive skill that only martial artists had, but it wasn't displayed, so most users didn't know about it.
Jeong-Hoon was lucky to have discovered it, so it was understandable that she didn't know.
"It's a passive skill that explosively increases damage when you repeatedly hit the same area. You also have that passive skill."
"...Yes? Is that really true?"
It was natural for her to be suspicious.
The number one martial artist in Korea.
Could there be a passive skill that she didn't know about?
But as time passed, her face gradually turned to shock.
* * *
At that time.
Most of Ho-Yeong's guild members had been kicked out of the training ground and returned to their original places.
However, some were still lingering around, unable to let go of their regrets.
They wanted to see the inside of the training ground somehow.
But Yeo Min-Ji, who had kicked everyone out, had locked the entire training ground, making it impossible to even peek inside.
"I'm dying of curiosity. Really."
"Since she brought him in, he must be capable, right?"
"Hey, don't you know? That's the hidden class martial artist."
"Really?"
"That's what I heard. I heard Miss actively asked the guild leader for help. She said they had to bring that martial artist in no matter what."
"Wow... He looks like level 104 and normal grade."
"It's hidden."
While they were whispering, the locked door of the training ground opened.
Jeong-Hoon came out and made eye contact with them.
"Hmm? What are you doing here?"
When Jeong-Hoon tilted his head, the guild members laughed awkwardly.
"Haha... It's nothing."
"We were just resting here."
It was a lame excuse, but Jeong-Hoon didn't mind and nodded before continuing on his way.
"I see."
When he was gone, the guild members cautiously looked inside the training ground.
Yeo Min-Ji was sitting on a bench with a blank expression.
"Oh, Miss?!"
The guild members were greatly embarrassed by her dazed appearance.
However, they couldn't easily enter the training ground.
"What the hell happened?"
"I don't know..."
"It's better to go back..."
"Let's do that..."
It wasn't the time to intervene.
They tactfully tried to go back.
"One of you, come here."
At that moment, a chilling voice came from inside the training ground.
One of the guild members hurriedly entered the training ground.
"Miss, what's wrong?!"
Yeo Min-Ji slowly got up and pointed to the training ground.
"I'm sorry, but would you spar with me?"
"Spar...?"
The guild member asked back in surprise at her request.
Why would she, the number one martial artist in the country and an executive, ask him to spar?
It seemed like she was punishing him for not following her order to leave the training ground.
"I have something to test. I won't use any skills."
"Uh... You won't use any skills?"
"Yes. And I won't wear knuckles either."
Wouldn't that make it doable?
His level was currently 210.
Although there was a level difference of over 100 between him and her, if she didn't wear weapons and didn't use skills, it would be a spar worth trying.
"Alright!"
And three hours later, he regretted his answer.
"Let's do it again."
"Oh, Miss... Can't we stop now?"
"No way. If you had left when I told you to leave the training ground, this wouldn't have happened."
"..."
Please save me...
* * *
'Shall I go to the Mu Tower soon?'
The Mu Tower was the tallest of several towers located north of the Autobahn.
It was called the sanctuary of martial artists and was a must-visit.
Of course, the first thing he had to do was wait for his mother to finish the game.
Push-
The capsule opened and his mother came out.
She seemed a little awkward, as if she wasn't used to the game.
"Are you done?"
"Yes. But this is amazing..."
Lee Na-Yeon couldn't count how many times she had been amazed by the technology of New World.
She understood why her son was so immersed in the game.
"What class did you choose?"
Jeong-Hoon had written a comment in the notebook recommending the mage class, hoping that his mother would choose a class with good efficiency.
With his knowledge of the future, he would do his best to help his mother grow as a mage.
'Mages are pretty efficient.'
Warriors required physical strength, so it might be a little difficult for his mother, who had no knowledge of the game, to adapt.
And archers also required bow proficiency, so they had to practice shooting arrows diligently at the Archery Hall in the beginner village until their first class advancement.
Only then could they acquire archery mastery in their first class advancement and finally be able to use it.
Rogues weren't bad either, but from his mother's point of view, mages, who could take various paths and fight relatively easily, might be the best choice.
"Gunslinger."
But his mother's answer completely missed Jeong-Hoon's expectations.
"Huh? Gunslinger...?"
