I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.42 C-Class Holder Upgrade (1)

“Did you fail again?”

A voice cold as ice filled the room.

There was no change in Cha Soo-yeon’s expression.

Her emotions are indescribable from her expression.

It was making the atmosphere in the room heavier.

“… sorry.”

“It’s Yoon Jae.”

“Yes, branch manager.”

“That’s not what I want to hear.”

“… … .”

Ji Yoon-jae’s body, who was kneeling, was full of tension.

It seemed that Cha Soo-yeon’s rune magic was about to strike again.

But this time there is only silence.

Like a ＜villain＞ clan that moves according to your mood.

Today’s Ji Yoon-jae…

Fortunately, there was no punishment whatsoever.

“At the most, the Human Resources Department has been working hard to change the placement of the faculty, but what if we can’t kill even one person?”

“sorry. There were unexpected variables.”

“Um-um- You mean that kid named Do Jae-hyun?”

Do Jae-hyun.

The most annoying variable in this operation.

If it were not for him, the holder named Chae-eun Kim would have died, and the academy would have fallen into chaos with the news that the professor’s daughter had died.

But now it’s just an incompetent faculty and ＜villain＞ intervention.

There were only criticisms and speculations about him.

Somehow I threw the academy into chaos…

It was an operation that was only half successful.

Ji Yoon-jae nodded and answered.

“Yes. At the time of admission, I was selected as a temporary lower-class class, and I am a strong holder of promotion to the upper class next semester. The growth rate is quite fast, and even when the Ando-kwon clan members were about to go to work, they responded quickly as if they were waiting. There are a lot of doubts.”

“Umm-”

Cha Su-yeon tapped the table a few times with her long finger.

A smile crept into her expressionless face then.

“He’s a fun kid.”

squeak-

Cha Soo-yeon slowly poured the wine into the glass.

Nebbiolo aged at least 7 years.

Beautiful colors and subtle scents revolve around you.

What she enjoyed at this time was always red wine.

“How about hanging out with you?”

“I always win.”

“Fuh-”

Cha Soo-yeon burst out laughing as if she couldn’t bear it this time.

“If you think you will lose then, do you want to use the Berserk potion again like Dokwon?”

“that… ”

Berserk Potion is an illegal potion distributed in ＜Villain＞.

A potion that instantly doubles the holder’s stats.

But, contrary to what is known, it is by no means perfect.

Although the increase in the ability value is considerable, it is a buff that is limited only to the physical ability value, and because it is difficult to temporarily maintain reason, only the purpose of using it can be felt conceptually.

There is a strong side effect of losing the strength of the holder.

The higher the level of power the holder had, the more he had to refrain from using it.

However, Ahn Do-kwon is a style that can’t control his anger, so he just couldn’t make a rational distinction.

“I hope Yoonjae doesn’t use it~ It’s too much of a waste to write something like that at a young age.”

“Unless the clan is in an emergency, I have no intention of writing it.”

“a. What kind of loyalty do you have to a clan like this? Just move selfishly. whatever you want Instead, listen to me. know?”

“… Yes.”

＜Villain＞ clan where all kinds of psychos gather.

But ironically.

There was another hierarchy of its own.

“Should Yoon-jae also take over my branch manager’s seat?”

Cha Soo-yeon smiled as she said that.

Again, I tapped the table a few times with my finger.

“Anyway, the variable you mentioned, keep an eye on it. If you think you know anything about our clan, report it right away.”

“Yes.”

“ah. It would be nice if we could go into something like a circle.”

“Circle… mean?”

“Ummm- You guys are entering a circle in your second semester. Until the next operational order is issued, Jaehyun Do. Make some connections with him.”

Cha Su-yeon took a sip of wine and continued.

“You can kill me anytime if you’re wrong.”

* * *

Bukhansan, the highest mountain in Seoul.

Bukhansan is the few remaining ‘fields outside the barrier’ in Seoul.

It’s been quite a while since the holders’ [Magic Barrier] became the most basic way to stop monsters, and the monsters were pushed out of this barrier.

These large mountains are usually designated as ‘fields’, so no barriers are applied.

Bukhansan is a fairly famous field in Korea.

From the beginning, monsters abound, and there are many open dungeons.

The ownership of the dungeons in Bukhansan was shared by various clans, but the ownership of the fields in Bukhansan itself belonged to the Holder Association.

‘Yes, I only use it for business purposes.’

Affiliated with Korea Holders Association.

C-class holder Lee Ji-hye came to Bukhansan on a business trip.

Her current job is a promotion test.

It was a test for upgrade request for a holder of a young chick, who had not updated the grade once after registering as a holder.

From Class F to Class C.

It is a request that reaches a whopping 3rd tier promotion.

‘Heh. I should have just sent it back… .’

He is a holder who has already passed the ability test.

It was evaluated as an appropriate stat for a C-class in the measuring instrument, and it showed quite good skills in the rune test that followed.

In particular, he showed off his ability as a ‘multi-holder’, which is a hot topic these days, and showed his skillful handling of both swords and daggers.

‘But that’s it, and this is this.’

Ability test and performance test are different in concept.

No matter how good the stats and the high use of runes, there are many holders who collapse in front of the variables in actual combat, and there are quite a few who cannot find their composure in battles with disgusting monsters.

You can’t experience him until you fight the monster yourself.

If this applicant is a holder who has slowly built up his career, the sense of disparity will be even greater if he is a holder who blindly asks for a 3rd tier promotion.

‘That’s why the academy students don’t want to receive it.’

Most of the academy students who do not have practical experience make such unreasonable demands.

Lee Ji-hye has been living in the association.

I’ve seen too many applicants like this.

Student holders who have no experience and are excited to apply for an upgrade saying that they are different.

Of course, the results are all crap.

C-class holders were not so easily upgradeable.

“excuse me. How about pulling out your sword in advance? You never know when the monster will come out.”

Lee Ji-hye couldn’t stand it and gave her a word.

The entrance to Bukhansan.

A volunteer who climbs the mountain without much preparation.

Let’s watch that stuffy look…

I couldn’t give advice.

Originally, she didn’t even care about applicants, but this time applicants were particularly weak.

I was never interested in him and never talked to him.

“it’s okay. It’s not too late to pull it out when you see it.”

“Then it will be too late… ha, done Do it yourself. Even if you get hurt, I won’t help you.”

“Haha, yes. And at the entrance to Bukhansan, only D-class monsters come out, so it’s not that dangerous.”

“… uh?”

you know that

As a young chick who only dealt with runes at the academy, I thought he would not know anything, but surprisingly, the information about the field was quick.

As he said, only E-class and D-class monsters appear at the entrance to Bukhansan.

The monsters that live mainly are E-class gremlins and D-class Imps.

They like mountains and forests, so they flock to the Bukhansan field.

If it is a moderately high level holder.

Monsters enough to be able to catch lightly even on their own.

Applicants who seemed to have no measures at all…

Unexpectedly, I knew it well.

Jihye blinked her eyes in surprise.

“… Have you ever been to Bukhansan Field?”

“no. This is the first time.”

“But do you know that well?”

“Because I studied a lot.”

– Kirik, Kirik.

-Kirrik!

And then.

The monsters appeared as if to cut off the conversation.

With gremlins perched on trees in the mountains…

Imps flying above it.

Two types of monsters welcomed Bukhansan Field’s entry.

-Kirrik… !!

Then the Imp rushes right in.

Like a flying monster, the direction of attack is free.

Lee Ji-hye was shocked for a moment when she saw the scene.

The applicant for the promotion request in front of him did not take any stance even when he saw the flying imp.

No, at this point, shouldn’t it be time to draw some weapons?

It looked like it was going to allow an attack at any moment and get hurt.

“careful… !!”

She tried to tell me to be careful, but…

There was no need to finish talking.

perok-

with the sound of fists.

This is because the three imps that flew in were fatally wounded and collapsed.

It’s like a simultaneous blow.

Three fist attacks in quick succession.

[Fighting] It was a derived skill of the rune, [Multiple Hits].

Of course, Lee Ji-hye cannot recognize him.

I had to doubt my eyes.

‘What is that… ?’

When I got the report from the association, they said it was a multi-holder with a sword and a dagger, but he beats the D-class monster Imp with his fist.

It’s not just a light attack with strength.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like you’re using runes and skills…

It was a professional and three-dimensional attack.

“uh… ?”

It didn’t end there.

The applicant pulls out the dagger at the waist as it is…

I threw them all at the remaining imps in the sky.

Knife-precise throwing skills.

The flying daggers hit all the Imps, and the guys who were preparing for an aerial attack fell to the ground.

It was the [dagger] skill that I had checked in advance at the measurement stage.

‘But how clean is that?’

During practice and training, everyone looks good.

For a holder, his stats and runes are all he has of his power.

But in a field or dungeon with a lot of variables.

It is not easy to show off your skills by directly dealing with monsters.

Especially if it’s your first hunt.

The reality of holders is that they are more nervous and unable to use their power.

However, this applicant did not show any such appearance at all.

Rather, more calm than Lee Ji-hye.

The monsters were dealt with neatly and simply.

Use only the power you need where you need it…

It was a battle sense like a high-ranking holder.

“… Judge?”

“Yes Yes?”

When he came to his senses, the applicant Jae-hyun Do had already taken care of the gremlins and cleaned up the surroundings.

Suddenly, in his hand was a clunky sword.

Caught a gremlin with a [sword] without seeing it.

He didn’t seem to have much effort.

He asked in an unshakable position.

“E-class or D-class monsters don’t count as promotion achievements, right?”

“Oh, no. Even a D-class monster counts as an achievement. For every 10 D-class animals, one C-class achievement is counted.”

“OK. Then you can just skip the E class. I go first. Follow me!”

“Come on, wait a minute!”

After Do Jae-hyun finished speaking, he suddenly started running.

He was moving away from sight at a sharp speed.

Even considering the speed of a C-level, it was too fast.

“What else is that… Do you have any Assault Runes?”

looking at his distant back.

Lee Ji-hye blankly muttered to herself.

Since the sprinting speed itself is fast, it seems to have an assault type rune, not a foot type rune.

The Assault Rune is a rune possessed by the ‘cavalry class’, which is completely classified as a special class among the warrior class.

It’s strange to be able to use both [Sword] and [Dagger] skillfully.

What the hell is this person doing?

Only the waves and waves are like ghost stories.

furthermore…

“No, why are you in such a hurry?”

That person.

Why was he in such a hurry, he didn’t even bring the monsters’ magic stones.

If it’s a D-class magic stone, it’s still around 2 million won… .

Can I be a rich man with an unknown name somewhere?

“I want to finish the test quickly.”

Even so, it takes a lot of time.

As a holder who has not had any achievements in field or dungeon capture in the past, this test is a long-term performance measurement for at least a week or more.

Of course, Jihye Lee will only measure today, and the rest will be measured with reports and achievements… Even if I could achieve results on my own, I had to spend quite a bit of time.

Lee Ji-hye, who had been dazed in thought, immediately came to her senses.

There was no time to continue thinking.

In that case, you will really miss the status of applicants.

“Come on, let’s go!”

The bundles of money that fell on the ground were a pity, but I had to follow Do Jae-hyeon with tears in my eyes.

Unfortunately, she was at work now.
