I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.43 Class C Holder Upgrade (2)

[Your speed, as you sprint without end, gains strength. You will be able to run faster.]

[The rune level has risen.]

[Faster, more agile. It becomes difficult to grasp your movements with the naked eye any longer.]

[The rune level has risen.]

[Acquires 1 speed with the runic tendency.]

Performance test for upgrade to C-class holder.

It was a field made in Bukhansan where he hunted for a specific purpose, but surprisingly, he was able to achieve rune growth steadily.

The main things that leveled up were [Sprint] and [Agile movement].

As I constantly ran to enter the middle of Bukhansan Mountain, the level of the assault rune [Sprint] increased, and as I defeated the monsters with quick speed, the proficiency of the footwork rune [Sleek Movement] also increased.

Besides, there were only two runes that had grown mainly.

The other runes also leveled up little by little.

‘After all, practice is the best for growth.’

Most of the monsters hunted in the Bukhansan field were gremlins and imps.

E-class and D-class monsters.

Now it’s in the middle, and C-class hobgoblins often appear.

Compared to the monsters I hunted in the ‘Academy Underground Dungeon’, they are definitely low-level monsters, but hunting them nevertheless helped me a lot in my growth and experience.

There may be several reasons…

‘Because I’m fighting alone.’

There were various party members in the underground dungeon.

For the first attack, three dealers and an additional tank, Park Jin-woo, and afterwards, [freezing] wizard Kim Chae-eun, are constantly hunting and attacking.

But now, instead of the monsters’ level has been lowered.

I only fight by myself.

Variables have increased, and roles have changed.

Unlike back then, when I was only playing the role of a tank, now I had to take on the roles of a dealer, a tanker, and an assistant.

Although it is physically a lot more burdensome, fortunately, I was able to greatly reduce the burden with the [solid endurance] obtained during the evaluation at the end of the semester.

‘So the growth was accelerated.’

Anyway, thanks to that, various growths of runes were possible.

As well as [Sword] and [Dagger], [Fighting] was used consistently, and he leveled up steadily by using many other auxiliary runes.

If there is one thing I regret.

There’s nothing quite right…

How slow is the durability value or related runes growth?

– Kerreuk… .

He cut off the chest of a hobgoblin who was alive until the very end.

Because the durability of the sword has decreased.

Unpleasant sensations run through your hands.

… Should I throw this sword away now?

“Please take it slow… !!”

Then, a voice mixed with resentment was heard from somewhere.

When I turned my head, it was Lee Ji-hye.

She is an association examiner in charge of this promotion test.

At first, he looked at me with curiosity.

Now is…

I was struggling to keep up with my crazy hunting speed.

A look of embarrassment is formed for a moment.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”

“Wow… lower… Why are you in such a hurry?”

“that… I have some circumstances.”

“circumstances… lower… You can do it a little slower.”

Something’s a bit strange

I said scratching my head.

“If you are having a hard time, you can go first.”

“Wow… It’s done… Three hours will fill you up.”

The total duration of the judging period stipulated for this promotion test is 3 hours.

However, that is only a standard time, and if the judge thinks that the holder has shown sufficient results, the examination may be completed in advance.

After all, the important thing is to submit the results of the association regulations.

If it’s a performance I’ve already shown, there’s still time left after the judging is over.

Still, she is determined to go down after three hours.

Lee Ji-hye was also a holder of a lot of ogi.

“Why don’t you bring magic stones? Those expensive things.”

“While the examiner is watching, it is recorded as an achievement even if you don’t take any by-products. As I said, I’m in an emergency, so it’d be good if I could save even a little time.”

Soon, a Swir Leviathan will appear in the East Sea.

As I am now, I am an S-class monster that I cannot catch even after waking up from death, but if I become a C-class holder, I can participate in the resource raids recruited by the government.

Anyone who participates in the raid will be eligible to participate in the auction house held in Daegu later.

So my plan was to purchase the Swir Leviathan’s magic stone from the auction house.

In order to do that, you must be eligible to participate in the raid.

You must finish the promotion to C-Class Holder as soon as possible.

And in fact, if Lee Ji-hye disappears…

You will be able to take good care of the magic stone.

“Chi. Do Jae-hyun holder seems to have a good financial situation. Just throw away the hundreds of magic stones.”

“Yes? That’s why the judge’s necklace is worth 300 million… ”

“Be quiet… !!”

Holders’ economic ideas are different from those of ordinary people.

The price of magic stones is very high, and the by-products left by the monsters are sold at high prices.

And instead, the price of equipment or items that you have to invest in yourself goes beyond your imagination.

Normal grade items cost hundreds or thousands of dollars…

Even if it is a rare grade item, it is an item that holders use to lightly exceed a billion units.

I had no choice but to be detached from the 2 million won D-class magic stone.

‘Of course, I’ll pick it all up when Lee Ji-hye goes down.’

Now they are just exchanging time for money.

For a low-level holder like me, 2 million won was still a lot of money.

“Anyway, I think we’re completely in the middle now. Sometimes I only see C-class monsters.”

“… That’s it.”

Bukhansan Field is just the beginning.

The middle part where the C-class monsters start in earnest.

The higher you climb the mountain, the higher the level and diversity of monsters, and when you reach the top, you become a B-class monster… It is said that even Class A monsters are often seen.

So the hunting speed was much slower than before.

The reason I was able to deal with many B-class monsters in the underground dungeon was because my role was focused solely on the tank.

Now that I am playing all the roles of the party alone…

It wasn’t easy to deal with a lot of C-class monsters.

Fortunately, the runes were more diverse than that of a general C-class holder, and the ability was superior to hunting.

I looked up at the top of the mountain…

He immediately looked at Lee Ji-hye and spoke up.

“Examiner?”

“yes?”

“I think I’m going to lose now, so let’s go down.”

It is good to amplify the performance in front of Lee Ji-hye, but gradually I also needed individual action.

There, the magic stone of a C-class monster is about 7 million won,

It’s a pity to miss it, so you have to slow down your hunting.

“Is Do Jae-hyun holder going down too?”

“haha. no. Like I said, I have some urgent business.”

“Then I… !”

“It will be dark in the evening. When it gets dark, you can hardly see the monsters’ attacks. It’s my risk, it’s the risk I get, but I can’t put the examiner at risk, right?”

frankly it’s bullshit

There is still a lot of time left before it gets dark, and Lee Ji-hye is also a C-class holder, so she will take good care of her body.

In other words, I was referring to the fact that I wanted to go alone.

Having said this up to this point, did I get it?

Lee Ji-hye was no longer stubborn.

“Chi. I know. Then see you at the final screening. If you come to the association, you must find me!”

“All right. I will definitely go to the judge.”

“… Hunt carefully.”

After greeting, Lee Ji-hye descended.

After watching it till the end.

I moved right away.

Not for hunting again.

It was to find ‘something hidden’.

“certainly… I think it was around here.”

with all weapons loaded.

I moved at a fast pace.

The target of the search is nearby trees.

To be precise, it looks like a groove in the trees in the mountains…

small holes

“… uh?”

Did you go looking for a tree for about 10 minutes like that?

I also killed the hobgoblins in the middle and got some magic stones.

I was able to find an unusual tree.

“It’s here… !”

Several hollowed out wooden holes.

Among them, there is a small hole in a tree that has an unusually magical power.

Just like when I discovered the ‘Academy Underground Dungeon’ the other day.

This time, we found the entrance to the ‘dungeon’.

And I came to plan this in advance…

Of course, you know what kind of dungeon this place is.

“Hobgoblin Village… .”

Bukhansan Field where many dungeons sleep.

But one dungeon still undiscovered.

Hidden piece that came out as if passing by in the original.

Undiscovered Dungeon.

It was the entrance to the ‘Hobgoblin Village’.

Without hesitation, I…

Magic was slowly injected into each entrance.

[You have entered the dungeon.]

[The turbid energy of the dungeon slightly reduces the strength of the holder.]

And my body moved to a specific space.

after coming here.

It was the beginning of my second dungeon attack.

* * *

Hobgoblin Village.

Unlike the existing dungeons, where there are many cave shapes.

It is an open dungeon that forms a single village.

C-class monsters, such as hobgoblin warriors, archers, and shamans.

Various types of hobgoblins are the main ones…

When you reach the ‘Boss Room’, ‘The Chief’s House’, you can face the boss, the B-class monster ‘Hobgoblin Chief’.

And to get there.

He had to attack the entire village of these damn monsters covered with hobgoblins.

-Keruk, Keruk!

– Kerreuk… !!

“f*ck… It’s noisy behind the scenes, really.”

I could hear the goblin’s cry…

I feel like my ears are goblin ears.

As I hunted the endless hobgoblins, I accumulated promotion achievements and magic stones one by one.

Unlike the ‘Field’ where monsters appear sporadically.

A dungeon is a gathering place for monsters.

No matter how many hobgoblins you hunt…

next.

Then the next hobgoblins await.

If it wasn’t for [Solid Endurance], I would have had to stop hunting earlier due to stamina problems.

Still, the results don’t lie.

I’ve hunted so many hobgoblins…

It was clear that 1/3 of the promotion performance would be passed lightly.

“Flow.”

In the middle, I took the form by myself and tried the [Living Sword].

… Of course, it couldn’t be because the conditions weren’t there.

I looked around shyly and slashed the hobgoblin again.

“Still, it’s rewarding.”

Will happiness come back as much as I have suffered?

Although it felt a bit difficult to deal with a lot of hobgoblins alone, the reward that came back later was better than I expected.

‘Hobgoblin Warrior’ and ‘Hobgoblin Archer’ have only [Sword], [Shield], and [Bow] runes, so unfortunately [Rune Hunter] is not useful.

However…

[You have won the duel! With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can duplicate one of your opponent’s runes. Please select a rune to duplicate.]

[You have chosen a simple curse. Since it is a 4th level rare rune, the level will drop, and it will be registered as level 2.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Acquire 1 each of Divinity and Magical power as a rune inclination.]

There was quite a bit to gain from the ‘Hobgoblin Shaman’.

Magic is a slightly different ability from magic.

Regardless of arrangement or structure, it consists of belief in the being who is the subject of witchcraft.

There is a way to borrow the power of magic power only for the degree of its manifestation.

So, after I acquired the rune called [Simple Curse].

It was possible to raise both divine and magical abilities at the same time.

The divine stat is a stat that is rarely needed, but the increase in the magical stat that has been desperately needed in the past is quite a boon.

“Huh. Play it, play it.”

As I wiped away the sweat, I smiled broadly.

The reason why I chose this place out of the many undiscovered dungeons.

The skills I lack and need right now.

This is because it is a dungeon that can be filled relatively easily.
