Chapter 133 – Circle Meeting (1)
After the weekend holiday and the intense attack.
Tuesday morning.
I came to the association for a while using the break time.
There was also a reward issue to deal with in relation to the undiscovered dungeon ‘Cloud Covered Nest’, but it was also a visit for the purpose of promotion that had been planned for several days.
“The results of the ability check… Out of the three main stats, you exceeded the standard stats in 2 categories: strength and speed. Even if you exceed one, you are satisfied, but Jaehyun Doh Holder has exceeded two.”
A woman with a familiar voice recited a report.
Class C holder, Jihye Lee.
He is an employee of the association that was in charge of my promotion review the other day.
This time, as her grade is a grade, she does not judge herself, and she has already been playing the role of summarizing the results of the examination from other professional staff and informing me.
“The rune utilization and proficiency checks that were evaluated earlier are close to perfect. Proper combination of physical runes and magic runes, sensuous use. It is an evaluation that it has not lost its basics as a holder while taking advantage of its advantages as a multi-holder.”
Favorable words continued to be heard.
I roughly expected it, but I was excited to hear the results.
“Well, then… “
When I asked her question with a blurry end, Lee Ji-hye smiled brightly and nodded her head.
“Yes, congratulations. Do Jae-hyeon holder has been promoted to an association-certified B-class holder as of today. Evaluation of major stats, evaluation of rune utilization and proficiency, inspection of standard holder performance… It is the result of satisfying all the requirements.”
Class B holder.
Even when I first entered the academy, a grade that sounded like a story from a distant country.
It is the awakening level of Kang Joo-yeon, who is said to be the king of talent, and the level that I thought it would take a long time to reach with effort.
I finally made that grade my own.
After falling here in the world.
After registering as an F-rank holder, it was a splendid achievement in about 9 months.
“You have already been registered as a B-level computer, and an official confirmation will be issued in a week.”
“Ah yes. Thank you.”
Lee Ji-hye handed over some documents to me and continued the explanation.
It was a trivial story, such as benefits and obligations as a B-level holder, or problems related to taxes.
Lee Ji-hye briefly explained about 10 minutes.
She looked at me with her eyes shining once again.
“By the way, you are really great. It seems like just yesterday that she was promoted to C-class holder, but she’s already in B-class….”
The other day… Is actually correct
It was only four months ago that she had been promoted to Class C.
It was the end of June, when vacation had just begun…
Within those four months, she was promoted, meeting not only her ability evaluation, but also the performance evaluation she thought was far-fetched.
She couldn’t believe it for Lee Ji-hye, who watched him all.
I had never heard of a promotion this fast.
“It was possible because the judges helped me a lot with the performance evaluation. Thank you.”
“A. I was just working as an employee, what.”
For reference, Moon Ga-eun was also promoted to B-class.
She came about an hour earlier than I did and confirmed her promotion, but since she has been a member of the clan in 〈 Royal 〉 for quite some time, her performance evaluation seemed to pass lightly.
As for the ability as a B-class, well, I checked it myself while party hunting together, so there was nothing to say.
‘Then there are three B-class now.’
A party of 5 in the underground dungeon of the academy.
Three of them were already B-class.
Kang Joo-yeon, Moon Ga-eun, and me.
In addition, Kim Chae-eun and Park Jin-woo were also not promoted due to lack of performance, but they are holders who have already reached B-level in terms of ability.
A party where all party members are Class B holders.
Unlike the early days when it was made temporarily, it now had the feeling of being an elite party.
“Oh. And about the undiscovered dungeon you conquered this time.”
Lee Ji-hye brought her words out as if she had suddenly remembered them.
“I think the discussion on joint ownership will be finalized in three days. The name of the dungeon was decided as Cloud Covered Nest, as you suggested.”
“Is the strategy review over?”
“Yes. Since you contacted us yesterday, association staff have been dispatched since this morning. You attacked very neatly.”
“Ah, that… “
At that, he awkwardly scratched his cheek.
‘… It’s because Seong Na-yeon attacked together.’
Participation in the party of A-rank holders who are in charge of the core of the 3 major clans in Korea.
Of course, the strategy had to be clean.
Well, it’s a process anyway, the result is the result.
We discovered and conquered the undiscovered dungeon ‘The Cloud Covered Nest’ at the same time, and thanks to that, the rights to the dungeon were decided to be jointly owned by Moon Ga-eun and I.
The dungeon collection I’ve been building up until now…
It was the moment when another name was put up here.
And that’s not all.
[The magic stone of the forgotten sub-dragon is filled. The stone slab is surrounded by an aura of strange power.]
My real purpose for clearing the dungeon.
An expedition that vaguely set out to find a ‘sub-ryong’.
That prediction was right.
The wyvern was hit by the sub-dragon that the stone plate demanded.
Four mana stones inserted into the five grooves of the stone slab.
There was really only one thing left.
‘Lunedo… I found what I was looking for.’
The reward from the [Rune Hunter] Obtained after defeating the Wyvern was also satisfactory.
As I need it now, I brought the best rune among the runes that can be obtained from Wyvern.
An attribute magic rune that I have been steadily collecting.
It was the only rune related to ‘wind’ that was empty among them.
[You chose ‘The Wind Shaking Roughly’. Since it is a level 9 epic rune, the level will drop and be registered as level 5.]
[You have obtained a new rune.]
[Acquire 5 Wind Resistance and 4 Magic Power based on the rune’s propensity.]
[A new resistance is activated.]
〈 Rune Info〉
◎Name: The wind that shakes roughly
◎Rating: Epic
◎Level: 5
◎Engraved part: wing cover
◎Special effects
: You can handle the power of rough and crude wind. Since the nature of power is biased toward the attack, the power of the rune varies depending on the direction of use. Power is increased by 50% when runes are used for offensive purposes, and power is decreased by 30% when used for defensive or auxiliary purposes.
: The ‘floating’ effect can be used at all times. As long as there is residual magic power, it can float at a desired location after creating an updraft in the surrounding air with the power of the wind. The height you can climb increases in proportion to your magic power and rune level.
: Wind resistance +5 HP +4
◎ Derivation skill
[Wind Javelin]
◎Details
: The sharp wind sometimes cuts and stabs even the body. The power of the wind, created only by looking ahead, will only move for your attack.
[The wind shakes roughly].
This magical wind attribute rune possessed by the Wyvern had excellent performance as I had personally experienced its power.
Basically, skill level correction is good.
Increased magic power by 4 and wind resistance by 5.
Even considering the 5th level epic rune, it is a fairly high increase.
Thanks to this, you can acquire a new resistance ability called ‘Wind Resistance’ with this rune acquisition, just like when you get other attribute magic runes.
‘The special effects are all attractive.’
The first effect seems to be infinitely useful depending on how you use it.
First of all, most of my magic rune use was focused on attacks, and the penalty reduction rate was low compared to the increase rate, so it seemed useful enough for any purpose.
And the second, ‘floating’ effect.
This is no different from converting Seong Na-yeon’s [Levitation] Skill into a special effect.
A must-have effect when dealing with aerial monsters or in special situations where you have to fly.
In particular, from my point of view, ‘levitation’ is essential to use [The Best Racehorse] And [High-speed Flight], In fact, it was an effect that was needed more than anything else.
‘Skill is… Then that magical spear.’
As the name suggests, [Wind Javelin] Was a ‘wind javelin’.
A powerful attack skill that the Wyvern used many times during the raid and that constantly harassed us.
It can throw a wind spear consisting of a total of 10 at the opponent, and as it is an ‘Epic Rune’s direct attack skill’, the cooldown was quite long at one day.
‘There’s nothing to throw away.’
All were satisfactory rewards.
In addition, various items obtained from the rest room, by-products collected while attempting to slaughter Wyvern, and by-products obtained while hunting other airborne monsters…
There were various rewards, but these were all the big rewards that could affect my holder information.
After I exchanged more trivial stories with Lee Ji-hye.
After greeting, I left the Holder Association with light steps.
“From today… I’ll be busy with circle work.”
Further strengthening of holder information is postponed for a while.
Now, the activities of the 〈 Anti-Villain 〉 Circle had to be carried out in earnest.
There were more things to do within the circle than I thought.
Finding the spies who had infiltrated the academy and their evidence had to be the first priority, and it was also necessary to check the trend of 〈 Villain 〉, which has changed since the Kim Do-yoon raid.
With the escort of 〈 Fire Judgment 〉 and 〈 Royal 〉…
Even though it was a circle activity within the academy, I couldn’t take it lightly.
Click-
After returning to the academy and taking all the remaining classes.
I came to the student hall’s circle room.
Today is Tuesday, so Yoo Eun-seol has a dedicated class, but her personal schedule overlaps, so this week’s class has been postponed to Friday.
Thanks to that, I was able to focus on my circle activities today.
“Uh?”
However, there was a passenger in the circle room.
Long black hair with a slight red tint.
A bit formal, but casual attire.
Actually, you don’t need all of that, and the first thing that catches your eye is your beautiful appearance.
“… Hi.”
It was Kang Joo-yeon.
I thought I was the first to come because I came to the circle room right after class, but for some reason she was seated on one side of the conference room.
And in your seat…
I was writing something.
In the short time I ran into her, those words instantly caught my eye.
-A grade, fire, epic rune, actual battle, growth, dojaehyun?
I realized it only after seeing it.
‘Growth Episode!’
Kang Joo-yeon’s growth episode.
The plan that was made in advance came back as a result.
Kang Joo-yeon meets Yoon Ji-ah in the 〈 Yeommu 〉 circle and grows up once again.
The opportunity for her to rise from the B-class to the A-class.
And in the holder world, she is the youngest ever to be promoted to class A.
Unlike the original work, Kang Joo-yeon did not enter 〈 Yeommu 〉, but Ji-ah Yoon instead came to 〈 Anti-Villain 〉, and the pieces of the close-knit puzzle were put together.
That’s the current handwriting.
I would never have seen it normally…
It was Kang Joo-yeon’s new appearance after meeting Yoon Ji-ah.
It’s unusual that my name is in it, but anyway, it’s a mind map that seems to match keywords to her own growth.
It was a very desirable direction of self-development.
By the way…
‘What?’
There were other words on the page that I glanced at.
I couldn’t see it well, but I could easily tell what the word was because the handwriting was so pretty.
-Kim Chae-eun, alone, hunting, weekend, Moon Ga-eun, again?
… What.
I think I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.
I think you’ll regret coming to the circle room right after class.
Kang Joo-yeon must have felt my gaze, so naturally she covered her notes and put them aside.
Seeing that unfamiliar appearance, I was greeted awkwardly.
“Oh, hello. Did you come earlyhaha.”
“Yes.”
And.
For some reason, her voice seemed colder than usual.
When I heard that, my doubts became certain.
… Are you sure this is mad?
