chapter 41
EP.41 proposal (3)
With the sword that Professor Kim Myung-hyun took out, he swung the air several times.
too light movement.
Even after swinging the sword for a while…
I felt an unknown quality.
“The floating sword is the lightest of the flowing swords that are soft like waves.”
“Is it the lightest sword?”
“yes. Do Jae-hyun holder, do you know that both the wavy sword and the flowing sword are swords that mimic the movement of water?”
I nodded at his question.
“Yes. I’ve heard from Professor Wonho Tak. Aren’t wavy shapes a rough water flow and flowing water a smooth flow of water with a sword?”
Waves of waves that come and go.
Flowing water flowing gently.
Like the names of the two sword methods, the nature of the sword was also distinctly different.
“you’re right. As a more specific example, if a wave is a rough wave like a wave in the sea, running water is a gentle wave of a flowing river.”
Just like Professor Myung-Hyun Kim uses [Sequence].
He swung his sword at high speed.
“Therefore, the purpose of the flowing sword method is to swing the sword more gently or lightly. That’s why running water specializes in slashing rather than stabbing.”
The speed at which he wields his sword gradually increases.
… It’s hard to see this with the naked eye.
“It’s the same with the ultimate skill, the surviving sword. While taking the form of the softest sword, moving at a higher speed. By borrowing the power of magical power, it gives greater power to speed.”
“Aha… .”
“So, it can be said that the auxiliary rune of the surviving sword is essential. There are areas of runes that simply cannot be covered by speed values. Does Do Jae-hyun holder have the Pobeopryu rune?”
“Ah yes. there is.”
The footwork rune is a rune that the assassin class has in common.
As a heretic in the holder world, I did not have these common runes…
Fortunately, there was a rare rune that was better than normal.
[Agile movement].
Along with the assault type [Sprint], it is the core rune for speed that I have.
Suddenly, Professor Myung-Hyun Kim’s sword was pointed at my waist.
“Then, Do Jae-hyun holder. Would you like me to use a quarter knife?”
“… Yes?”
I was momentarily confused.
You throw a dagger at your master.
That’s a high-level [dagger] derivative skill…
Now, it is an attack that contains quite a lot of magic power.
If you make a mistake, you could be injured.
“it’s okay. It doesn’t hurt, so try it once.”
But as he smiled and spoke, I immediately agreed.
Professor Myung-Hyun Kim is an A-class holder.
It’s an opponent I can’t win even if I fight with all my might.
In addition, if it is an A-class, the durability value alone is considerable.
An endurance value that is difficult to penetrate with my [Quarter Knife].
It probably won’t leave any scars.
I pulled out four daggers from the waist and lifted them up.
“Ugh… !!”
The throwing posture I’m used to now.
I put my spirits up once…
Immediately, [Quarter Knife] was thrown at Professor Kim Myung-hyun.
arms, legs, chest, stomach.
Just in case, I threw it away, avoiding the vital points as much as possible.
Daggers fired with terrifying momentum.
It felt like it was going to bleed as soon as it got stuck in Professor Kim Myung-hyun’s body.
“Flow.”
“… uh?”
But something strange happened.
With the little words ‘flow’.
Professor Myung-Hyun Kim, who was slowly swinging his sword, swung his sword at such a speed that it was invisible to the naked eye…
All four daggers of the [Quarter Knife] were slashed.
He couldn’t even see his feet as he was stepping step by step.
‘too fast… !!’
Looking at it, I was able to realize that Professor Kim Myung-hyun was directly demonstrating the [Yoosu Life Sword].
[Liquid Life Sword].
This was an evasion and attack skill that cuts the target by moving the sword with extreme speed, or strikes off all flying projectiles.
In front of the overwhelming speed.
None of my daggers reached Professor Kim Myung-hyun.
When the skill has been used…
The daggers had already been thrown into the ground, and he had put the sword in.
“You can do this. Pretty easy, right?”
When the situation was over, Professor Kim Myung-hyun laughed.
It is unfair.
I didn’t even see how to write it.
* * *
The first semester of the academy has come to an end.
This semester has meant a lot to me.
By chance, he became an exclusive disciple of two professors, received instruction, and succeeded in capturing the monster that appeared in the academy, and even the underground dungeon.
From the end-of-semester evaluation and prevention of Ando-kwon’s murder case.
There were many incidents and various experiences as a holder.
The most encouraging thing is…
The point is that I, who was a temporary low-class class F-class holder at the time of admission, has now raised my skills to the level of a C-class holder in the upper class.
‘Even if I cheated a bit… .’
[Rune Hunter] with a deceptive performance and another rune of deceit [Seeker’s Sweat].
With both runes, I achieved rapid growth.
Of course, I also put in a lot of effort.
However, it was impossible for a holder to grow runes normally to go from a temporary lower class to an upper class in one semester.
“Those who use the warp gate to Busan-!!”
“I am looking for a temporary party member for a D-class holder of a warrior series! Right now!”
“Yeah, keep seeing the price of the magic stone keep falling.
“Take a picture and go! Let’s make the moment memorable!”
The busy central street of the academy marked the end of the semester.
Each of the students was preparing to go home, using the training ground or the library, and making their own vacation plans.
Pass that bustling Academy Central Road.
At some point, I came to the building on the special-affiliated side.
before the end of the semester.
It was to receive the equipment pushed by Choi Yu-min.
“here… !!”
Study lounge in the building.
Choi Yu-min, who was sitting to one side, raised her hand.
As if she had brought the products in advance, equipment that looked quite heavy was piled up next to her.
I smiled and waved my hand.
Then he walked over to her and sat down.
“hi. It seems like it’s been a long time?”
“yes. Because Jaehyun hasn’t come to look for equipment for a while.”
The number of equipment requests contracted with her is 5 times a month.
Last time I blew up one of the dungeons and got a new sword, I never looked for her, so I had to get more than 10 pieces of equipment.
The equipment piled up next to Choi Yu-min is understandable.
“Did you work hard all this time?”
“yes! I also got a new rune this time.”
“What? Hey, you don’t have to say that.”
It is an implicit rule for holders to keep silent about their runes, skills, and abilities.
Although it is possible to measure the approximate stats with a machine, and through some tests, you can determine the level of the rune…
To the end, only the holder knows the rune he owns, and the rune is the power of the holder.
Even though I know most of the main characters’ runes, that’s something I only know and it’s not what I’m telling you.
Kang Joo-yeon and Choi Yoo-min…
Why are you all doing this to me?
“Hehe- it’s okay. Because Jaehyun got it as he grew up with the runes of the field thanks to you. thanks The investment has been really, really helpful.”
Choi Yu-min smiled as she stroked her brown hair.
The new rune she probably got is [Iron-Blood Nights].
It is a rune that will become a trademark of Choi Yoo-min in the future.
‘It’s fast.’
It is surprising that Choi Yu-min has already acquired this rune.
Still, I thought I would only get it after 1st year…
Acquiring the runes in one semester was quite fast.
‘After all, if the blacksmiths grind something, do they come out?’
Epic Rune, which is evaluated as the best in the field series.
To get it right after you’ve applied for it a few times…
Choi Yoo-min also seems to be a talented artist second to Park Jin-woo or Kang Joo-yeon.
Perhaps she will continue to grow this rune now and show more outstanding performance as a blacksmith.
“If your skills are good enough, you can still get it. Now, if you start making high-end equipment, will your investment look ridiculous? I was lucky enough to get a cheap contract.”
“Heh heh. thank you for saying it like that.”
“Stop talking unfamiliar, shall we look at the equipment now?”
“yes!”
Choi Yu-min took out a sword from the equipment piled up next to him and handed it to me.
… Did you bring all that yourself?
A magic bag wouldn’t be that expensive…
I’ll give you one as a gift when I get a chance.
“It’s because the rune level has risen… Now the item information is displayed.”
As she said, as soon as the sword was handed over.
Immediately, the information window cluttered my eyes.
<Item information>
◎Name: Well-Forged Long Sword
◎Type: Sword
◎Level: Normal
◎Durability: Normal
◎Producer: Choi Yoomin
◎Special Effects: –
◎Details
: A decent level long sword made by a blacksmith who is just getting started. He has a strong and sharp foresight.
Finally, item information appeared on Choi Yu-min’s production.
All of the items she made before, like weapons made by ordinary people, no information was displayed.
Blacksmith-type rune holders have been recognized as items since they have reached a certain level.
Besides, even though it doesn’t mean much, it even has a modifier of ‘well-forged’.
It means that it is slightly better than other ordinary long swords.
It is still in its early stages, so there is no special effect on the grade or normal, but it was important that her equipment was recognized as an ‘item’.
“congratulation. Now he is a full-fledged blacksmith-type holder.”
“thank you. And that sword, I made it, but it’s really good! I used a B-class magic stone as the core magic stone.”
“What? Why did you write something so expensive?”
“Hehe- This is the first sword I made after getting a new rune, so I wanted to make it properly.”
After listening to her
It is understandable that a modifier is attached to an ordinary long sword.
If it is a B-class magic stone, the market price is 42 million won.
Of course, if you use expensive and good materials, the quality of the equipment goes up.
‘Are you still using half of the subsidy? .’
Choi Yoo-min also had his own stubbornness in a strange part.
That is why he must have become a famous blacksmith in the future.
I nodded and caressed the handle of the sword.
“Then I’ll write this later.”
Then, Yoomin Choi made a puzzled face.
“yes? why? Wouldn’t it be better to write it right away?”
“Well… I have a few things to use first, starting with ordinary weapons.”
Currently, my ability is at the level of a C-class holder.
However, it is only the actual ability, and my grade registered in the holder association is an uncalculated holder.
After becoming the first holder and only registering.
I went straight to the academy and didn’t have to renew my grade.
‘But now it’s different.’
Officially, a grade C holder is required.
The reason is simple.
The hunt for the S-class monster, the Swir Leviathan, which had been planned for a long time.
This is because, in order to participate in a raid that hunts that large monster that appears as a field monster, the minimum holder level must be C.
All of my main stats are over 30, so there is no reason for me to be promoted to C-class in terms of stats.
Then all that’s left is achievements.
A dungeon attack or field hunting performance was necessary.
‘Is it okay in a day or three?’
If it is later, the Swirl Leviathan will appear first.
Before that, I had to complete all the achievements and renew the holder’s rank.
I was there for those three days.
I used all the equipment Choi Yu-min gave me…
I was thinking of hunting without a break.
