I Got the Academy Morale Rune 123

Chapter 123 – Cloud-Shrouded Nest (4)

It was strange.
It was strange.

It was definitely a field I came to for party hunting, but when the two of us climbed Songnisan side by side, I couldn’t calm my pounding heart.

‘…….’

In fact, that was the case when I first contacted Do Jae-hyeon.

Although she pretended to be calm and said that it was time, Moon Ga-eun quickly checked all the schedules at the time.

Even with an escort, it’s a party hunt where the two of us go anyway.
Because I really wanted to go to this.

‘Why are you doing this….’

I honestly don’t know why.

The day I was suddenly attacked by Kim Do-yoon.
The day he protected me and unintentionally gave me a back hug.

Since then, whenever I see Do Jae-hyun, I feel strange.

My heart kept pounding, and I wanted to positively accept everything he suggested.
It was for this reason that he gladly joined the 〈 Anti-Villain 〉 Circle.

‘Sung Na-yeon holder….’

In the meantime.
Seong Na-yeon’s words as an escort became a catalyst.

I won’t interfere with your date, so please act comfortably.

Both of them were embarrassed by the unexpected remark and apologized for it and appropriately agreed, but Moon Ga-eun’s heart did not calm down from then on.

Like Sung Na-yeon said.
Because today’s hunting really felt like a date.

Climbing the Songnisan field together…
The only thing is that there are no monsters in the beginning…
Because it all felt like a condition for a date.

If there is one regret, it is that he refused Do Jae-hyeon’s proposal to hold hands.

Moon Ga-eun also wanted to nod, but she was too shy to refuse without even realizing it.

‘Joo Yeon, Chae Eun… Sorry.’

Moon Ga-eun apologized to her friends inwardly.

I can’t exactly define this feeling, but somehow I felt sorry for Kang Joo-yeon and Kim Chae-eun.
It was even more so when she used the pretext of pretending to be her lover to make skinship.

And she felt it again.

Should not wake up
Pretending to be a fake lover, and even going hunting together.
I couldn’t even fathom what would happen if the two caught me.

Kwa, kwaaaaang!!
Turn off-?!

Soknisan Field, where climbing continued.
A B-class monster that I encountered only after entering the middle.
Harpy.

The guy who flew freely in the sky…

Do Jae-hyeon’s dagger baptism, followed by an unexpected explosion, staggered greatly.

“This….”

Moon Ga-eun, who was drawing a bowstring, was also embarrassed to see the scene.

The initial plan was to restrict movement only with a dagger.
Because it was a very different result.

Moreover, no matter how multi-holder Do Jae-hyeon is, he used a unique form of ‘magic rune’ that had never been shown before.
Even ‘explosion’, whose nature is similar to that of Kim Do-yoon’s ability.

Naturally, I couldn’t help but wonder, “What is it?”

… But even in such an embarrassing situation.
Moon Ga-eun could not stop the thoughts that came to her mind at the moment.

‘Cool….’

Do Jae-hyeon’s ability that I’ve never seen before.

Apart from asking questions about him…
His flashy battles were cool.

* * *

The rune obtained after defeating Kim Do-yoon, [The Force of the Exploding Sword].

Of course, this corresponds to magic rune.
When using a sword-type weapon, it can cause an explosion by naturally injecting magic power, and the nature of that magic power is replaced by the fire attribute.

That’s an additional effect linked to the [Quarter Knife], The same goes for ‘Bido Bomb’.

In general, just as magical attacks can inflict heavy damage on monsters with high durability, my rain and bombs, which flew in the nature of intense explosions, were bound to be effective against harpies.

‘There are many means of reinforcement….’

[Exploding Sword’s Force] Increases the power of the rune by possessing a fire-type magic rune, and the explosion becomes stronger even when using a rune related to magic power amplification.

Among the runes I have…
[Scorching Flame] And [Magic Amplification].

These two runes naturally served as auxiliary runes, and the [Quarter Knife], Which flew as a rain bomb, seemed to have unexpectedly great power.

Pishuu – Pak!
Turn off, turn off-.

While thinking about something else.
The harpy, staggering in the air, was hit again and fell to the ground.

Moon Ga-eun, who had been watching this scene in a daze, came to her senses and finished the attack she was preparing.

A harpy completely incapacitated.
It was a very futile battle for a B-class monster.

I clapped my hands awkwardly and said.

“Me, nice shot.”
“…….”

Silence flowed over the unexpected words.

Isn’t this too?

Moon Ga-eun, who corrected her posture after the battle…
He immediately looked at me and asked.

“That explosion, is it your newly realized ability?”
“Uh, huh?”
“I heard from Jooyeon. Do Jae-hyun, you have a magic rune of the fire attribute. Last time I fought Kim Do-yoon myself, it seems that my explosive power has awakened.”

… Does that happen?

When Ga-eun Moon found out about her explosive ability, she felt sorry for her, but surprisingly, Ga-eun Moon easily convinced herself.

Like Kim Chae-eun before, he seemed to think that I, who had a talent for it, had attained enlightenment.

‘… Well, I don’t have to explain rune hunters.’

Maybe it’s natural for them.

In the first place, even when we went hunting together in the underground dungeon of the academy, I was the one who took the tank in the front line with only physical attacks.

Then, before I knew it, I started learning magic attacks, and evolved from a pure tanker to a damage tank bruiser, showing my side as the king of multi holders.

There was nothing strange about getting new abilities there.

Of course, even [Exploding Sword’s Force] Gained enlightenment in the battle with Kim Do-yoon and blossomed his abilities… I never thought I would understand it that way.

“It’s probably your first time using it, but use it with caution. If you can’t control your power, you who use it might get hurt.”

Moon Ga-eun, whose career as a holder was a year ahead of mine.
Her advice was reasonable.

Right now, I didn’t know how powerful it was, so the planned battle was disrupted.

In the future, when I use my newly acquired ability, I thought I should check it in advance and put it to use in practice.

I nodded and replied.

“Thank you. As expected, like Senior Holder, I learn a lot.”
“What, what are you saying? Of the same grade. And you know more about monsters than I do.”

After Moon Ga-eun said so.
Suddenlyheheaded towards the front where the harpy had fallen.

“Where?”
“To collect harpy by-products. Don’t follow I will try it myself.”

She covered her face and moved on with her gun shot.

What are you so ashamed of?
Do you think I gave you presumptuous advice?
That was helpful enough….

Moon Ga-eun, who has an easy-going personality, also seemed to be shy at times.

‘Then me too….’

Due to the nature of the monsters in Songnisan Field, which do not go in groups, there was time to spare after catching a harpy once.

In the meantime, I called up the information window for my business for a while.

My own information window that comes when the hunt is normally over.
[Rune Hunter] It was a reward.

[You won the duel! Victory is credited due to the high contribution in the duel. Rune Hunter’s arcane power allows him to duplicate one of his opponent’s runes. Please select a rune to duplicate.]
[1. High-speed flight 2. Deep waters 3. Agility (not selectable) 4. Endurance 5. Land bullet defense (not selectable)]

Harpies are basically body-enhanced monsters.

Since it is an aerial monster that uses powerful physical attacks based on its high strength and speed, the rune setting was also related to it.

[Agility], Which supports the user’s movements overall, [Endurance], Which guarantees high physical strength, and [Melee Defense], One of the representative defense runes.
All of them were rune settings focused on strengthening the body, and I didn’t really need them because I also had or had a higher rank rune.

The remaining options are [High Speed ​​Flight] And [Deep Sea Water].

‘What is this, high-speed flight.’

The time to worry didn’t last long.

If you hunt, you’ll eventually get both, but [Whirlwind Swallowing Wave] Already exists, so I wanted to choose a different type of rune first.

[You chose high-speed flight. Since it is a level 7 rare rune, the level will drop and be registered as level 4.]
[You have obtained a new rune.]
[Acquire 1 speed with the rune’s inclination.]

‘They make it extremely salty.’

As most of the holder’s stats began to exceed 40, the stats gained from acquiring runes also began to decrease considerably.

Even though I acquired a level 4 rare rune, my speed only increased by 1….

It wasn’t just that holders who received higher stats and awakened from the start were given preferential treatment.

The more I see this, the special effect of [Seeker’s Sweat].
The increase in stats in proportion to training time, I used to feel very grateful.

‘Then rune information… ‘

Just as he was about to check the newly acquired rune information.

“Uh?”

I squinted my eyes slightly for a moment.

A golden information window came in, taking over the view again.

Now I know the identity of this information window.
It’s already the third.
If you go through the same phenomenon three times, then you can know what it means just by looking at the color.

‘I heard there’s another high rank rune?’

Upper rune.
With the special effect of [Rune Hunter], A system that acquires new runes by combining existing runes.

The first one was [Master of Martial Arts], And the second one was [Descendant of King Yaman].

But after two months of getting it…
Another upper rune appeared.

[Currently, there are runes that can be combined. You can acquire higher rank runes using the rune hunter’s mysterious power.]
[Upper rune: The best racehorse in the world / Lower rune: Running, underwater running, furious running, high-speed flight]

“…….”

However, after confirming this, I looked at the information window in silence.

What.
This crappy rune name….
