140 – For Growth – 3
I made an appointment with Choa Yoo, Elizabeth, and Siyeon Jin.
To be honest, I’m a little scared, but I can’t help it.
“In the end, you’ll have to practice alone.”
“Well, it can’t be helped.”
I looked for a teacher who could train me as a buffer, but there was no suitable answer.
What can I do? In the original, Azazel is not listed as a teacher. I can only do that and move on.
“Is it okay to train alone?”
“It’s been like that since the beginning. What?”
“Hmm… Then I’ll give you this.”
Instructor Yangjun thought for a while before holding out a piece of paper from his bosom.
Huh?! This?!
“It’s a skill book option, right?!”
An unexpected benefit. It’s a skill book option. What do you get Wouldn’t it be better to receive it in multiple series?
“Can I sell this?”
“It’s okay… The auction house won’t accept it. Can’t you see what’s down there?”
I read the precautions written under the skill book voucher.
From nob le mt l. co m
Not for sale.
Unable to register for auction house.
A. What a waste.
From nob le mt l. co m
No… You just have to get the most expensive skill book you can get with this voucher and then sell it, right?
Buff skill books are relatively inexpensive, so it would be better to buy another buff skill with the money you get from selling other good skill books.
“Whoop whoop…”
Instructor Yangjun, who saw my happiness, shook his head with a wry smile.
“It is never an easy road to walk on a path that no one has gone before. You don’t know if you are walking the right way, and you may fall into confusion. In that case, it’s better to rely on instructors or seniors. This is done separately at the academy level. It’s because you can’t support the teacher, so let’s know that.”
“hahahaha. I see.”
“Yes. And if you need a training center, let me tell you.”
There is no particular need for that. Because I’m satisfied with the training I’m doing now.
“Then I’ll go. I guess you can do it by yourself?”
“Of course!”
I should go get the skill book.
When Instructor Yangjun went to see the other cadets, I went straight through the gate to the association.
“Welcome. What are you here for?”
“I’m here to exchange skill books.”
“It’s a first-class skillbook voucher. Go to the second floor.”
The staff at the information desk smiled and explained. As she said, she went up to the second floor and saw quite a few heroes waiting to purchase skill books.
“Oh. It’s been a while since a cadet came here.”
“Hmm? You?!”
Huh? Who is that?!
I frowned at the middle-aged man who smiled happily when he saw me.
It was Yeon Ji-ho, nicknamed ‘Steel’.
And the person who told Jinho-rang what Jin Shi-yeon and I were holding!!
I heard you won’t talk!
I believed it! I believed it!!
“Hey~. I didn’t expect to meet you here. By the way, is Siyeon not there? Huh? But what’s wrong with her expression?”
“No. How could you do that? You said you wouldn’t tell Jinho and the elders?”
With a smirk, he shook his head.
“Of course I didn’t tell you.”
“But how do you know so well?”
“I told the other guy.”
He pointed at the spear-wielding woman next to her. She smiled as if she was amused by the slender beauty with impressive blue hair and an eyepatch on one side.
“Ahahahahaha~! Wow~! My mouth speaks the truth, but it’s so light!”
I want to beat you up.
I glared at her and let her sigh.
“So? So? How did it go?”
“Yes? What is it?”
“Didn’t you meet the tiger?”
“We met. We haven’t talked much yet…”
“Wow. The tigers are all dead too. In the past, it would have caused a stir. Is he old too?”
The woman with her blindfold scratched the back of her head and walked away. While looking at her, I saw her yeonjiho, and he grinned and put her shoulder with me.
“I’m sorry about that. Anyway, it’s true that there were embarrassing situations because of me. If you ever need to go through a difficult dungeon later, tell me.”
“You can return to our party in most dungeons, but…”
“hahahahaha! Still, it won’t be difficult. Or you can take him with you to the ruins. I’ll help you for free a few times. Me and that guy too. Do you have to pay the price for telling the truth? He’s like me, A.” It’s class, so it won’t be a burden.”
The beauty with her blindfold thought for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head. She must have been stabbed herself too.
Wow. By the way, considering the cost required for an A-level hero to tour the ruins, it would be quite expensive. How many times do you do it for free?
Good. The ruins I have to go to later are a bit difficult, but I have to take them with me.
If you think about your relationship with Jin Shi-yeon, it will be known anyway, and it is beneficial to think that it will be known sooner.
“Let me introduce myself first. I am Hwa-hwa and Ji Ah-yeong. You must have heard of my name, right?”
I’ve heard of it. A woman with a magical eye who wields a spear imbued with the power of flame.
I heard that when the demonic eye inside her eyepatch glows, everything she looks at burns up.
Of course there was a penalty, but it was quite useful.
“By the way, did you come here to buy a skill book? If so, I’ll pick one for you. As for protection…”
“Ah. No. I’ve already thought of something…”
“Is that so? Too bad.”
Skill books that are expensive in the original are skills that activate immediately and have high attack power. In particular, skills that do not discriminate between aptitudes were very popular.
“Next minute!”
Since I was standing alone thinking about the game, it was my turn before I knew it.
“We’ll be gone. Contact us anytime.”
“Yes. Don’t be pressured~.”
Yeon Ji-ho and Ji Ah-young, who had their phone numbers registered on my terminal, left with other colleagues. Watching them, I headed straight to the exchange.
“Welcome. What skill book are you looking for?”
“Could you show me a list of skill books that can be obtained with this?”
“Oops. This… Wait a minute!”
The employee, who seemed quite surprised to see the skill book voucher, quickly went inside. And what came out was a piece of paper.
The skill book currently held by the association was written on it.
“Thousand Strikes would be nice.”
Thousand Strikes. A skill that delivers a powerful blow of no attribute based on strength and energy.
It was one of the skills that all dealers wanted because of its fast activation speed, ability to specify distance, and good power.
Of course, it would be okay to get this and give it to Jin Shi-yeon, but Jin Si-yeon has many of Jin Ga’s secret recipes, so there’s no need for her to learn this.
In terms of efficiency, it would be better to get this, sell it, and buy the buff skill book at the auction house.
“Wow! You have eyes to see! You still look like a cadet… The cadets like the flashy final slash, but they say that in real life, they use the fast-moving Thunderbolt better. Please wait!”
The employee who went inside came out with a skill book. After checking the tightly sealed skill book, I turned around and the heroes with shining eyes approached me.
“That skill book. Did you buy it to learn it?”
“Looking at his body shape, he doesn’t seem to have the aptitude for combat.”
“Would you like to sell it to me?”
“Or by going around the dungeon together…”
As expected, it’s a heavenly blow. The heroes who looked quite strong laughed and talked to me, but that was a requirement.
“I’m going to put it on the auction house.”
“Tsk. Too bad.”
This kind of thing needs to be auctioned off to get more value. Even among those who are not here right now, there will be people who want it.
Still, they weren’t villains, so I just regretted it and opened the way. It’s really heroic to not take it by force.
I passed them by and stopped at the auction house in the basement, where I put up a strike. Ruler. So let’s wait until it sells…
Huh? It’s already time
The time to meet Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah is approaching. It seems he spent too much time getting the skill book.
“Whoa…”
My heart, which was fun until just now, becomes heavy. But what can I do? This is the path you have already chosen.
I can’t get out of here.
After leaving the association and returning to the academy, I headed to the meeting place.
The sky is red. When I was sitting on a bench and waiting, watching the sky gradually turning red with the sunset.
“John!!”
First is Elizabethson? She was running this way with her always bright smile.
“What happened did you ask me to meet you here?! Ah. Ho, maybe?!”
“That. Could you wait for me?”
“Ah! Yes!”
As the restless Elizabeth laughed awkwardly, she saw a man walking in the distance.
A cold beauty with beautiful black hair tied in a ponytail. It was Jin Shi-yeon.
“…What? Why do you…”
“…Demonstration?! Demonstration is…”
Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon both seemed embarrassed to see each other. But more surprises remain.
“What?! What are you guys doing here!?”
Even Yoo Choa approached with a bright smile enough to be thought of as a joke.
I sighed heavily when I saw the three of them gathered.
Come on. There is no turning back now.
“I’ll be honest. It’s not my taste to talk around.”
The three beauties who were puzzled at each other turned their attention to me. I swallowed, moistened my dry throat with tension, and then spat out.
“I’m thinking of emigrating. To a country that allows polygamy. If you become an S-class hero, you can easily acquire citizenship in any country, right?”
“…Suddenly, what is that…”
Jin Shi-yeon, who was puzzled, tried to speak, but she was startled. Yes. You noticed.
“To be honest, I don’t want any of you to give up. Of course I think it’s a crap remark, and if you don’t like me like this, you can step down. But…”
I took turns looking at the three in bewilderment.
“If that’s not the case, I’ll take care of the rest.”
“…Are you okay?”
“Since we’ve come this far, we must go all the way.”
Of course, even if those three agree, the people behind them may not tolerate it.
But that’s something I have to deal with.
Because it’s not my style to be irresponsible enough to say something like that without any resolution.
