chapter 40
EP.40 proposal (2)
Korea’s 3rd largest clan.
<Judgment of Fire>.
As the name suggests as a giant clan.
It’s never easy to become an official clan member here.
You must have sufficient abilities as a clan member and have various specifications such as good academy grades and dungeon experience to enter.
This is also the case for the intern clan member, the previous step.
For a large clan, passing the internship was also a blessing.
Such an intern contract offer…
It was a great opportunity for me, who was still a freshman, to come.
However, as the matter was a matter, it was not an easy matter to decide.
“What is the duration?”
I took a sip of the kiwi smoothie and asked Jooyeon Kang.
The contract period of an intern clan member varies.
As short as 3 months, as long as 6 months, 1 year.
Some clans even contract for two years.
I think that’s almost enough to be an official clan member…
There were quite a few vicious clans who abused this system and did not receive official clan members, but only pampered them as interns.
“Probably three months. The vacation is just like that.”
3 months intern clan member.
From the end of the semester to the beginning of the next semester.
If you take your time, it’s a good time.
However, I was also burdened with time to use all of my first vacation after becoming a holder as an intern.
“Can we do it in two months?”
“… two months?”
“yes. Even on vacation, three months feel too tight. I also have a few things to do before and after vacation.”
Is it right to deal with <Judgment of Fire>? ?
But I can’t help it.
I didn’t just say it, there were really things to do.
For example, after the end of this semester.
An S-class monster that will soon appear in the East Sea, Swir Leviathan.
I had to go to Pohang to get his magic stone.
Go to Pohang to participate in hunting, then go to Daegu where the auction house is held, and play while resting… If you estimate the time it takes to complete the chores, it’s a week.
Even an intern cannot engage in such individual activities as soon as they join the clan… The contract period had to be shortened and the joining period had to be delayed.
Fortunately, it wasn’t such an unreasonable suggestion.
Kang Joo-yeon slowly nodded her head.
“… I think it is possible.”
“really?”
“yes. After all, it’s an unusual special offer, starting with hiring a first-year as an intern… I think a request like this would be fine.”
Even though I got permission, I’m still worried.
It’s too big a clan for me to deal with.
So, out of curiosity, I asked.
“that… Can I just make up my mind like that?”
“… I am the daughter of the clan master.”
With that one word, I immediately understood.
Kang Joo-yeon knows how to say things like this.
Besides, it is said that Kang Joo-yeon was the first to propose to hire me as an intern.
The way I was active in the dungeon seemed pretty good to her.
‘It’s so good.’
In any case, if these conditions are met, it is a proposal that is not bad at all for me.
It was an opportunity to experience the clan before graduating from the academy, and I was able to improve my skills by living and training with the <Judgment of Fire> clan members for two months.
The salary that came from clan member activities was a bonus.
“then… Are you coming in?”
“yes. Good luck for the next two months. Kang Joo-yeon.”
“… yes.”
I smiled and shook hands with Kang Joo-yeon lightly.
So for two months from the beginning of July.
I signed an intern contract to enter <Judgment of Fire>.
Although temporary, it was my first clan contract.
* * *
[You will be able to feel the energy of the flowing wave more deeply. [
[The rune level has risen.]
[Magic is everywhere and nowhere. The color of the magical power felt from nature and weapons becomes more vivid.]
[The rune level has risen.]
[Acquires 1 magic power with the rune’s tendency.]
The levels of [Running Swordsman] and [Magic Control] have risen.
Since the speed value exceeds 30, it is not easy to obtain.
Even though the related rune [Running Swordsman] reached level 5, there was no additional speed gain.
But magical power is just starting to take off.
[Magic Control] As the level went up, I was able to get a light magic value.
I saw the effect of training in a short amount of time.
‘Now the level has risen a little more evenly.’
In the last match with Kim Hyo-won, [Fighting] also went up to level 5, and the level of the runes I’ve been using in the past has risen fairly evenly.
Runes that were randomly acquired for the purpose of increasing the stats.
Those runes were growing fairly evenly.
In addition, new runes were obtained through this evaluation.
With [solid endurance] obtained after catching Kim Hyo-won.
What I got after taking the relief…
It was [a ruthless charge].
<Rune Information>
◎Name: Merciless Charge
◎Rating: Epic
◎Level: 1
◎Engraved part: head
◎Special effects
: When charging, you can ignore all physical attacks that do not contain magical power, and hit the opponent with nearly twice the strength value. This effect is only activated when you are supported by a rune related to movement, and the effect ends when the charge is over.
: Speed +1
◎Derived Skills: –
◎Details
: When the speed of the sprinter is accelerated, his personality becomes closer to rage. There will be no more mercy in the charge of those who dare to rush.
This is not a rune he possesses, but a rune that was obtained temporarily through ‘Frenzy’, but it was possible to select it.
Probably right before the duel ends in victory.
Maybe it was because it was the rune he used until the end.
For whatever reason, I was lucky.
I already got the 4th ‘Epic Rune’.
In addition, [Relentless Charge] had to have rune assistance needed for ‘Charge’.
It’s a natural thing because it’s an effect that is applied from the first special effect to the charge.
Fortunately, I was able to fully satisfy these conditions because I had the [Sprint] rune.
After all, if you get runes, there are times when you will definitely use them somewhere.
In any case, after confirming satisfactory training performance.
I relaxed for a while and rested.
clap clap-
Then I heard applause from somewhere.
It was Professor Kim Myung-hyun, who was watching my training on the other side.
“The movement has changed a bit. Did your rune level go up?”
He immediately recognized the change in my sword.
Today is an exclusive lecture from him after a very long time.
For a while, he had a lot to deal with, such as the Ando-Kwon case, so it was a precious time that he managed to split his busy schedule.
“yes. I just got to level 5 in flowing swordsmanship through training.”
“It’s definitely fast. I think Do Jae-hyun holder has one of the few talents I’ve seen recently.”
“… no.”
Hearing Professor Myung-Hyun Kim’s admiration makes me feel embarrassed.
It’s not my talent, Professor.
[The Investigator’s Sweat] is a scam… .
Still, I don’t think it’s completely wrong to say that I have a knack for swords.
He also acquired the [Strike] skill at level 3, which he said was only to be acquired at level 5, following the classes taught by the two professors without any problems.
In particular, the time to learn the high-ranking swordsmanship [Wave Swordsmanship] and [Wave Swordsmanship] was quite quick compared to others.
I experience those things firsthand.
I noticed one peculiar fact.
‘Runes are not everything when awakening.’
It is true that the runes obtained when the holder awakens are the talents of the holder, but just because a rune is not obtained during awakening does not mean that he does not have talent in that field.
My first rune was [Dagger], but…
In fact, he also had the talent of [Sword].
However, he couldn’t bloom because he wasn’t given a rune.
Now that I have acquired various runes as a multi-holder, I was able to directly experience and check such rune talents.
The proficiency process is too complicated, so I haven’t tried it…
Maybe he has a talent for magic.
“I have heard all the stories from the past. He said he saved Chae-eun again this time.”
Professor Kim Myung-hyun suddenly brought up the story of the last incident.
When he first heard about the incident.
He was angry with his cold eyes, like a yacht.
I accidentally overheard the two professors talking in Professor Tak Won-ho’s classroom… I have never seen Professor Myung-Hyun Kim, who is synonymous with calm, so angry.
Motive holder who tried to murder his daughter.
The influential <villain> clan behind it.
He must have felt unbearable anger as a father before becoming a professor at the fact that Kim Chae-eun was almost sacrificed as a means of swaying such a criminal group.
After that, I did not listen to the conversation between the two, but it seemed that Professor Kim Myung-hyun would take an active part in digging up this case.
“Of course we have to save it. Chae-eun is the first friend I met here.”
At those words, Professor Kim Myung-hyun’s expression darkened.
“… Do Jaehyun Holder have no friends?”
“Yes? No, no. So… After coming to Seoul.”
I’m going to put the chinta frame on here.
Contrary to his appearance, he is a terrifying professor.
“Anyway, thank you very much. It seems to be saying thank you to Do Jae-hyun holder every time.”
“I’m also glad that Chae-eun is safe.”
“I don’t know what to say, but if you have anything to ask of me, feel free to tell me at any time. I’ll listen to anything I can do. This is not as a teacher, but as a promise that Chaeun makes as a father.”
This is a pretty attractive promise.
A-class holders are expensive.
It was a card that could be used in an emergency to be able to receive help from such high-ranking personnel at any time, no matter what you asked for.
I nodded lightly and replied.
“All right. Thank you professor.”
“Compared to what Jaehyun Do holder helped me with, it’s a little overkill. So, shall we train again?”
“… yes.”
I thought the break was too long.
Professor Myung-Hyun Kim’s training is generally not very difficult, but there has been a tendency to increase the intensity of training due to the influence of Professor Tak Won-Ho these days.
Professor Kim Myung-hyun laughed at my weak voice.
“Don’t make a face like that. Today I will teach you something more interesting.”
“Is it fun?”
Do you think it would be fun to do the same training every day?
Professor Myung-Hyun Kim nodded and continued.
“yes. I heard from Professor Tak last time, and he said that he had ever used the ultimate skill, the Wanken Sword?”
[Wave Heaven Sword] was successfully used for the first time in a dungeon raid.
However, the power that did not match the level was immediately limited.
According to Professor Wonho Tak… [Wave Swordsmanship] had to rise to level 10, and his magic power had to exceed 30 to be able to use him again.
I replied scratching my head.
“ah. That’s what I wrote… It was immediately restricted because the conditions were not met. I think we need to raise the rune level and magic power a little more.”
“Anyway, I think I’ve used it.”
Professor Kim Myung-hyun slowly pulled out the sword from his waist.
“Today, I will teach you the ultimate skill of flowing swordsmanship. The conditions of use itself are similar to the undulation test, but… Once you learn, Jaehyun Do will be able to use the holder someday.”
what kind of cake is this
The ultimate skill of [Swordsmanship], [Swordsmanship].
Finally, it was my turn to learn the secrets of Professor Kim Myung-hyun.
