143 – Preparing for the Ruins Attack – 2
***
Wow! Just selling one skill book is such a jackpot!
“… Ha ha.”
I shook my head as I looked at the amount on my bank account.
It’s too early to rejoice. Because the money of 2.4 Billion is just money passing through.
I immediately went to the auction house and searched for the necessary skill books.
The first is a multi-strength increase.
There were only two items in the auction house, probably because it is a skill that is treated as a rare skill in its own way in the original, where buffs are treated coldly.
The price is not too cheap. The current auction price is 1.2 Billion, so if you want to bid, you have to pay more than 1.2 Billion.
“Ah… I can’t not learn this.”
When you have mastered Multi Strength Increase, Multi Agility Increase, and Multiple Stamina Increase, you can learn one skill through Azazel.
It’s a skill with a very simple name called ‘multiple reinforcement’, but it is a skill that combines the three to strengthen strength, stamina, and agility at once.
Of course, in exchange for learning this skill, I had to sacrifice those three skills.
Still, you can raise three stats at once with only one mental strength instead of three buffs, so it was a skill you must learn if you are aiming for a first-class buffer.
There’s also the issue of limiting the skills you can learn.
All I am currently learning is multi agility increase.
In other words, it was necessary to acquire multi-strength and multi-strength increases.
“Um…”
Let’s do it first. Multi Strength Increase is a rare skill book that only appears in special ruins with a very low probability, so I can’t give it up.
I placed my bid right away and felt my heart ache as I saw the large amount of money being pulled out of my bank account.
“Black…”
My heart hurts.
But what can I do? There is no such thing as money, and there is no law.
Think of it as an investment.
I hope I succeed in bidding here, but it could be more expensive… Let’s not be vigilant. Setting it to notify me when another bidder appears, I searched for a multi-stamina increase skill book.
This is a bit cheap. Still.
Current auction is 200 million won. Still, it was several times more expensive than other buff skill books, probably because it was a multi-type book.
“This is also a bid…”
Just by participating in the two skill book auctions, the balance in my bank account was drastically reduced. Of course, it won’t end here.
Let’s hope there are no other bidders.
-Titling!
Damn it.
A new bidder has appeared in the multi-strength skillbook. The new price is 1.3 Billion. No, what are you jumping for?
“Oh…”
A sigh came out of nowhere. But what can I do? I glared at the auction house, then raised the price again and bid.
Do not bid more than the multi-strength skill book I bid for.
But since I don’t know who the opponent is, even if I grumble like this, there is no answer. You can just wait patiently and raise your bid little by little.
I raised my bid again. As a result, 1.4 Billion.
If you’re scared, go away!
-Titling!
“Whew…!!”
This time it was a different message. It was a message that another competitor had given up. With this, the multi-strength skill book is mine!
I couldn’t get the item until the end of the scheduled auction time as there might be another bidder.
I wish I could buy it immediately, but the purchase price is 2.8 Billion. You can’t even buy it with the money you have right now, so it’s better to go around the ruins and get it than to pay that money to get it.

Now all that’s left is really the prayer meta.
I took out the Buddha statue I received from Gwaneumsa before.
“Please make sure there are no additional bidders…!”
And then it started 108 times.
Is it thanks to prayer? There were no new bidders until 108 bets were done.
But I can’t be at ease.
I put the Buddha statue in a drawer and put the statue of the Virgin Mary I received from the church. Then he took out his rosary and began to pray the rosary.
“I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth…”
.
.
.
It was rewarding to practice prayer all night.
“hahahahaha!!”
A successful bid, and another successful bid.
A bidder appeared in the middle, bid again, and thanks to continued prayer, the two skill books were successfully bid. Of course, I spent quite a bit, but I’m glad I didn’t spend all my money.
And it’s money, because you can collect it while going around ruins or dungeons.
Still, it was true that my hands were shaking when I looked at my bank account. Oh my gosh. I never thought I would spend this much money in one day…
Anyway, the bid was successful, and the money was paid, so the only thing left to do is go to the association and get it.
“…Let’s go later.”
I’m tired from staying up all night praying. And I have to go to class right away. You can just go get the skill book after class.
After roughly washing, I left the room and headed for the classroom. Summer is coming, so even though it is morning, the sun is hot.
“I can’t do it as it is!! Faster! Run faster!!”
I saw people doing basic training in the playground. When I looked closely, they were executive members. Are they training for executive team tactics?
“I’ll see you again here.”
“It’s a surprise.”
It was Ryusena, the student council president. She stared at me with her characteristic expressionless expression, then turned her eyes to the playground I was looking at and calmly continued her words.
“Are you interested in training the Executive?”
“I don’t have one.”
“I see. Come on. Take this.”
What came out of Ryusena’s pocket was a small note. When I opened it and checked it, the strategy for the Manisan Ruins was written on it.
Oh. This is detailed…
“Why are you giving me this?”
“I heard that some of the 1st year cadets are participating in the attack on the Manisan ruins. And you will be included among them.”
“Yes, it is.”
“When you engage in battle, you know your role. You observe the situation from the rear and make appropriate decisions, right?”
“How else did you know that?”
“Because it is a subject of concern in its own right. We have analyzed that much.”
“Aha.”
This guy’s popularity…
“But why are you giving me this…?”
“As a senior, think of it as giving a genealogy. And tell the others to read it too. I wrote down the monsters and trap strategies that appear in the Manisan Ruins in detail in my own way.”
“Okay.”
“By the way… If you succeed in capturing the Manisan Ruins, what will you do then?”
“Sure.”
It will be summer vacation in a few days after the Manisan ruins are over. The summer vacation schedule was almost full, so I had no intention of doing anything in particular.
Going to England with Elizabeth.
Going to an uninhabited island with Jin Si-yeon.
Go to Yuchoa and the ruins.
And even going to the ruins with other heroes led by Kim Yeon-ha.
I probably won’t be able to really rest during summer vacation.
What is it? Isn’t vacation originally meant to be resting? I think it’s harder than when I was a bachelor…
“You’re busy.”
“That’s right.”
“John~!!”
It was then. What came was the clear voice that rang in her ears. I turned her head, and the woman who was running jumped up and hugged me as if she was on my back.
“Good morning~!”
“Oh. Yes. Good morning.”
“…Are you two on good terms?”
“Ah! The president was there too! Hello!!”
Clinging to her back, Yuchoa greeted me brightly. And she whispered in my ear as she put her chin on my shoulder.
“Have you been having a tryst with the president since morning? Yoyo. He looks like a popular guy…!”
“What is a tryst? We just met. And I received this too.”
“Huh? That’s…”
She fell behind me and admired the note I gave her. Concentrating on her strategy for attacking the ruins of Mount Manisan, Ryu Sena said calmly towards her.
“Yu Choa. During the final exam this time, she said that she would participate in the raiding group, right? She can train me if she wants.”
“What? Are you sure?!”
“Hmm. There are quite a few guys who can handle magical powers in the management department. Come along with demonstration. I’ll help with training.”
If a master of the level of the president leads the training, the growth is much higher than when you do it alone. So there was no reason for her to decline, and Yuchoa smiled brightly and nodded her head.
“I’ll definitely go! Can I go today?”
“Let’s see. The time is… Yes. Come see me after class today.”
“Okay!”
“Then do your best.”
She leaves as expressionless as she came. Yuchoa, who was staring at Ryu Sena, who was moving away from her, looked up at me while holding her arms in front of me and behind hers, slightly bending her waist.
“Huh…?”
“What? That gaze?”
“No~. Just~. I’ve been dating another girl since morning. I’m not sure if I should like this as a member of the harem or not~”
“You’re worrying for nothing.”
I stroked Choa Yoo’s hair, and even though she was messy, she still had a cute impression. After tidying up her hair, she grabbed my arm.
“By the way, what are you doing after class today?”
“I’ll have to go to the association. And then I’ll have to stop by the lab.”
“Even if the research center goes to get recovery medicine… Why is the association?”
“I bought the skill book.”
“Oh! Is it a magical power-enhancing system?”
Her twinkling eyes I smiled at her.
“Unfortunately, it’s about strengthening strength and stamina.”
He patted the back of Yu Choa, who had an openly downtrodden expression.
Don’t worry. If only Azazel could meet her, she would be able to learn the highest skill in the Magical Enhancement class.
“Then see you later~!”
“See you later?”
“…Aren’t you going to see it?”
Hey. That kind of expression is against the law.
“But I heard you are training with the president. And considering the training of the teachers, I don’t think there will be enough time?”
Unlike me, Yuchoana, Elizabeth, and Jinsiyeon were trained separately by their teachers to capture the ruins. If you think about it, will it be time to meet later?
“He said he would give me free time if I work hard and finish my schedule quickly!”
“Is that so? I’m glad then.”
“You say you don’t have a teacher?”
“Yes.”
If the DLC was applied, Azazel would be present, but since that is not the case, I have no choice but to train alone.
I wasn’t particularly dissatisfied with that. Of course, it would have been more comfortable if Azazel had been there, but she had to grumble about something she didn’t have, so nothing came of it. It’s right to do what I can right now.
“There is a theory class in the morning. After taking the theory class, I will be in the library in the afternoon. And as soon as the schedule is over, I will go to the association.”
“So you’re saying we can meet at the library after it’s over?”
“Well… I guess? Or I can visit. But I don’t know if I’ll have time to play separately since I have to learn skills right away after I go to the association.”
“Well, you don’t have to play. Just being together is good, right?”
I can’t believe you’re talking about something so special.
I stroked Yoo Choa’s hair again and she smiled.
“Wasn’t this line super selfish point high?”
“What’s the super selfish point?”
At my words she put her finger on her cheek and looked up at me with her cuteness.
“Ehehehe~. A word that combines cuteness and loveliness. Don’t you think it can be expressed with just the word Choa? How about it? It’s plausible, right?”
And…
You must learn this confidence.
