The Late Game Healer Is Way Too Strong – Chapter 207

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟕: 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 3

As if drawing a straight line with a ruler, Siwoo’s terminal smoothly drew a flat horizontal line without any sign of fluctuation.

“Has this ever. . . happened before?”

“No, I’m seeing this for the first time too. . . .”

“Isn’t that a computer error? There’s no way those numbers are possible?!”

“It looks like it’s broken from people using it too much.”

People expressed their opinions and voiced their doubts about the current situation.

The murmurs gradually grew louder.

The expression on Siwoo’s face, which had been observing the commotion, was a picture of tranquility.

With the leisurely composure of someone who couldn’t be bothered, and without shedding a single drop of sweat.

Every single Hunter gathered here had taken the test without exception.

Therefore, they knew that this test wasn’t one that could be taken without grimacing.

Bzzt—!

The first test ended.

The results of this test appeared on the large monitor, and everyone’s gaze was drawn to it.

Morry: 42.7%

Pieny: 36.5%

Jinmen: 18.8%

Arknahal: 50.1%

And finally.

Min Siwoo: 99.8%

People’s faces flushed red at the ridiculous numbers.

To achieve that level, one would have to continuously gush out magic power like a dispenser from the beginning to the end, with the exception of a very slight vibration.

And that for a whole 3 minutes.

“Hey! Admin! The terminal’s broken!”

“Are you freaking kidding me with those numbers! Take the test again!”

“Even Shamal doesn’t go over 90%! Are you messing with us right now?!”

“This is crazy! How can a nobody who isn’t even ranked record 99%?!”

People protested the results of this test with harsh words.

In their judgment, this wasn’t just nonsensical, it was close to impossible.

Even the current top-ranked Hunters couldn’t exceed 90% on this test, so it was only natural that there would be a backlash when a Hunter taking the first ranking test scored close to 100%.

The test administrators fidgeted with anxious faces.

They looked at Marquis Charles and Edward, who had organized the test, with their eyes, asking what to do.

It might be different if they were ordinary spectators, but they couldn’t just yell and stop it in a place where all the Hunters within the world’s top 100 were gathered.

The commotion grew louder and the tension rose.

Just as Edward and Charles were about to get up from their seats to explain,

Kwaaang!!!

An enormous roar echoed as a huge crack appeared in the side wall.

The startled Hunters checked the source of the sound with wary eyes.

Standing in the middle of the stairs leading to the 2nd floor was the silver-haired beauty, Namir.

Everyone’s gaze turned to her.

Her expression was one of bewilderment at the sudden turn of events.

Namir calmly opened her mouth as she felt the attention.

“Shut up, all of you filthy mouths.”

Harsh words that didn’t match her pretty face.

The arrogant and reckless remarks instantly silenced the atmosphere.

Whether they were neighborhood Awakeners or Hunters ranked within the world’s top 100, no one had expected her to speak to them like this. Their faces were blank with surprise.

“What the—!”

After a moment, a few prideful Hunters glared at her, their faces contorted.

A subtle murderous aura spread through the space, and the atmosphere tightened like a piano string. Then, her aura burst open.

Ku━━ng!!!

Wasn’t this what they called overwhelming strength?

The bodies of those who had been exuding killing intent collapsed to the floor at the aura she displayed.

She wasn’t able to fight Giovanni because they weren’t compatible, but she was also one of the top Hunters.

Her unrivaled martial arts and chilling murderous aura silenced all the Hunters.

In fact, the only Hunters here who could stand up to her were Koga Haruki or Harold Bloom, but Harold had no reason to oppose a half-demon, and Haruki had witnessed her fight and sensed his own defeat, so he didn’t even exude killing intent.

“You can’t even bring yourselves to pick a fight with someone my level, and yet you dare to bare your teeth at my master?”

Namir snapped, her usually soft voice filled with anger.

She felt like crushing the heads of the bastards who had slandered Siwoo with her mace.

She could endure and tolerate any amount of disregard or mockery directed at herself, but she couldn’t let anything slide when it came to Siwoo.

‘𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘰𝘭𝘴. . . !’

Namir suppressed the emotions boiling up within her like flames and glanced around.

Only then did the people remember that the ‘master’ who had been mentioned by the ‘Queen of the half-demons’ at the banquet was Siwoo.

However, Namir’s impact had been so great, and Giovanni had appeared soon after, so most people had forgotten about that fact.

“If you insult my master one more time, I swear I will turn you to stone and crush you into dust.”

People gulped and avoided her sharp gaze.

Of course, there were Hunters among them who had seen Siwoo’s match or witnessed his fight with Giovanni.

But while it was easy to join the heated public opinion, it was difficult to defend him.

Unless you had overwhelming power like Namir, it wasn’t easy to step forward and take the side of someone you didn’t know well.

“C. . . Can we continue the test?”

The administrator asked, checking Edward and Charles’ expressions.

Then Edward nodded to Siwoo, and Siwoo shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn’t mind.

Edward nodded and then stood up from his seat and spoke.

“Then, before we proceed with the second test, I would like to address something. If there are any Hunters who still believe that the machine is malfunctioning, I would like them to come up here and take the test themselves. Are there any?”

Edward decided to nip this in the bud.

If his prediction was correct, Siwoo might set new records in the upcoming tests as well.

He couldn’t keep watching this kind of commotion every time, and he didn’t want to provoke the ‘Queen of the half-demons’ any further.

Above all, Siwoo might get annoyed and crush the complainers himself before that.

At Edward’s words, people hesitated but no one raised their hands.

They had a creepy feeling that Namir’s mace would come flying and crush their skulls if they did.

“If there are none, let’s continue the test. However, we will not accept any more claims that the machine is malfunctioning or anything like that. The ‘Gaia System’ has never malfunctioned even once.”

Edward finished his final comment and sat down.

The administrator waited for the right moment and then continued.

“T-Then we will begin the second test.”

🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

“Damn, that monster kid. . . .”

“Hey, no matter how you look at it, that’s gotta be rigged.”

“Shhh! Shut your mouth, you crazy bastard! Do you want your head bashed in?!”

“No. . . It’s just that it doesn’t make any sense. . . .”

People whispered to each other, keeping their voices as low as possible so that Namir wouldn’t hear.

The second test produced results that were even more ridiculous than the first.

A test where you had to pass through a maze by radiating thin magic power inside a sphere.

Benedict Ackermann had the highest progress rate throughout this ranking test, setting a new record with an impressive 82.3%, but Siwoo easily surpassed that.

His magic power reached the core within the time limit.

“My thinking was too narrow. It’s not a strength that can’t be measured by a machine; it’s a strength that can’t be measured by machines at all.”

Seigen stuck out his tongue at the results he was seeing for the first time in his life.

He had prided himself on being a Hunter who handled magic power quite delicately, and his test score of 67.9% was actually pretty good.

However, looking at Siwoo, he couldn’t help but feel that he was just a frog in a well.

“. . . It’s clear that my master’s magic power control is beyond the ordinary.”

“Hey, he’s our master, so that’s a given, right? Of course, I didn’t think he could clear that in the given time. . .”

Kang Yeo-hwa answered in response to Lo-an’s admiration.

Before the shock had even subsided, the third test began.

The examinees entered the provided glass tubes and assumed comfortable positions.

Now, everyone’s attention was focused on Siwoo.

After encountering unbelievable situations several times, they had begun to expect something else impossible to unfold.

Bzzt—!

As soon as the signal sounded, Siwoo drew up his magic power and dyed the space with his own color.

Intense magic power, sharp as needles, filled the glass tube, filling every gap.

The dense and immaculate aura even looked smooth at a glance.

Pazzuuut—!

At that moment, the magic circuit on the floor moved and the ritual resumed with a flash of light.

The magic power that had filled the glass tube scattered in an instant.

The examinees staggered as they panicked over their magic power that had suddenly vanished.

“Ugh!!”

“Damn it!”

They drew up their strength again, and each time, they felt their magic power scattering like a candle in the wind as the ritual resumed.

And there was one person in this hall who had the most relaxed expression.

“Hmm.”

Siwoo was taking the test with his arms crossed, his body leaning against the glass tube in a crooked position.

The spell on his floor was undoubtedly interfering with his magic condensation by constantly activating, but Siwoo’s magic, which filled the glass chamber to the brim, remained unshaken.

His magic power was as calm as a sturdy and solid fortress, and Siwoo’s expression was consistently relaxed.

“Oh my god. . . . Is that even possible. . . ?”

Benedict couldn’t keep his mouth shut.

This was a test where it took tremendous concentration and stamina to maintain your magic power, let alone emit it for a short while.

It wasn’t a test that you could take while crossing your arms and propping up your legs, not unless you had given up.

“I knew I wasn’t on the same level, but this feels he’s transcended the limits. Even Choi Dae-soo should be a little nervous.”

Do Kyung-hoo muttered with a bitter expression, taking a sip of his alcohol.

He had thought he had been working hard for the past 10 years.

He had thought Choi Dae-soo was a monster, but Siwoo seemed to be approaching something that surpassed a monster.

The examinees were barely able to maintain their balance, kneeling on one knee or leaning their bodies halfway.

The moment they squeezed out their strength, the ritual blew away their magic power in less than a second.

They had to repeat this dozens of times a minute, so their stamina and magic power were both running out.

However, Siwoo’s glass tube remained the same from the beginning of the test to the end.

His magic power was unwavering, never faltering, and Siwoo looked peaceful without a single sign of exhaustion.

He even checked his wristwatch from time to time as if he was bored, which made the onlookers sigh in admiration.

“Is that guy really human?”

Koga Haruki, ranked 4th in the world, looked stunned.

Even as a top-ranker, he had panted and nearly lost his mind several times when taking this test, but what on earth was that guy, who didn’t show a single sign of struggling?

Bzzt—!

The third test ended.

The other examinees besides Siwoo collapsed on the spot, looking like they were about to die.

They looked like they had just finished a 10-minute sprint.

Siwoo leisurely stretched and muttered to himself, loud enough for everyone else to hear.

“This test is ridiculously easy.”
