Chapter 164 – Taming Contract (2)
Ganghwa-gun, Incheon.
An island commonly called Ganghwa Island.
And numerous uninhabited islands in the vicinity.
Among them, Gijang Island is the home of the 〈 Villain 〉 Clan.
Important information and items related to the clan are scattered across many uninhabited islands near Incheon, and it is impossible to pinpoint one place because of this point organization and distributed form, but…
Nonetheless, Gijang Island is considered a home base for clan officers.
Because 〈 Villain 〉’s Clan Master, Hwang Dong-yeon.
If there is nothing special, it is because he always stays in Gijang Island.
“It’s still a boring island.”
Clothes and coats all stained with blood.
A large, dark sword slung over his shoulder.
Seongyeon Hwang quietly commented on the island and walked into the middle.
In the middle of Gijang Island.
If you look closely around there, there is a peculiar structure that goes underground.
Here, you have to touch the hidden device again to reveal the space, and you have to engrave a password in it to open the door.
If it was the first person who came here, it would have been impossible to find the structure, let alone the device…
For Hwang Seong-yeon, who used to come and go to Gijang Island as if it were her home, it was something she was tired of repeating.
Gugg-
Drooling-
Open the device as if kicking it, and roughly inscribe the password.
Then in a small space.
A narrower secret space appeared.
Seongyeon Hwang went inside and started to descend.
Since it was an underground space created on an island, the depth was not as deep as expected.
As if waking up every morning and eating cereal, Seongyeon Hwang naturally opened and entered special spaces… He was able to get to the place he was aiming for in no time.
“Ki-ah-!!ぅ, ぅ, keug-“
“…….”
A sharp female scream is heard as soon as the door is opened.
And soon she heard ‘something’ that caused her to shut up, and at the same time, the sound of boiling bubbles came from her mouth.
Hwang Seong-yeon immediately frowned at her.
I hear it every time I come to this space…
Every time she heard it, she was not very pleasant.
The screams she enjoyed were not those grotesque types.
“ぅ- ぅ- keug-“
“Uh, uh. Tongue, bro. Wow, are you here?”
And did she feel Hwang Seong-yeon’s presence?
A man, locked in the room assembling the woman in question, raised her head.
Deeply sunken hair and thick dark circles.
A shady atmosphere that seemed much darker than Hwang Seong-yeon, the owner of the magic sword.
And somewhere strangely, the appearance resembles Hwang Seong-yeon.
Hwang Seong-yeon’s younger brother Hwang Seong-yeon, the clan master of 〈 Villain 〉.
“I found it,” She said. What you said.”
Seongyeon Hwang, still frowning at her, threw the crystal ball that was in her arms at Hwang Dongyeon.
A legendary special item obtained by raiding the academy in this diversionary operation.
It was the [Order of Convergence].
Hwang Dong-yeon, who carefully received him, asked back in surprise.
“Oh, uh! Gee, is it real? Big, awesome. Uh, how?”
“What how? I put all my clan power into it. Now our clan is getting pretty dangerous. I brought you the things you want, so take care of yourself.”
Hwang Seong-yeon was not in a good mood.
Even though my younger brother insisted on bringing it, it wasn’t a very good choice.
It was like starting an all-out war on the academy right away, and probably the large clans involved would also participate one after another.
Then 〈 Villain 〉 becomes dangerous.
It was a crisis that could disband the clan, and in the worst case, they could have to leave Korea.
It’s a clan that’s just a means anyway, but if this clan disappears, the opportunity to enjoy yourself will eventually diminish.
Of course, Hwang Seong-yeon couldn’t be in a good mood.
However, Hwang Dong-yeon doesn’t seem to be interested in such an external situation at all. She treats the [Order of Convergence] Like her treasure and says,
“Uh, uh. It’s okay, it’s okay. If only this..Hehe… Go, thank you, bro.”
“…….”
Seongyeon Hwang, who had been watching it quietly, soon turned her back and left her master room.
“Keuk-keukgeuk….”
Behind her turned her back, a woman’s strange voice still flowed out.
Those parts of the body that were brutally divided…
It was intensely imprinted in Hwang Seong-yeon’s mind.
He said as he closed the door and came out.
“… It’s no fun.”
Every time I see it, I feel it, but it wasn’t a very interesting sight.
And she thought
Even 〈 Villain 〉, a gathering of flying and creeping psychos…
Nothing compares to her own brother, who first created and led this insane clan.

” …… After all, taming contracts are runes that make contracts. Therefore, the holder always has to think about how to utilize this contractual relationship…… “
Professor Kang Dong-wook’s fast-paced lecture delivered knowledge in many fields.
[Training Contract] Is a unique rune that can be used as a partner by taming those who are evaluated as special beings in the system.
The [Dragon Word Promise] That I got this time was a legendary rune that was highly compatible with these [Training Contracts].
As can be seen from the word ‘training’, the main character of that existence is usually a monster.
You can train monsters and borrow their power to put them into battle.
Of course, if the subject of the contract changes, the name of the rune also changes.
If the name of the rune is [Spirit Contract], The existence becomes a spirit, and if it is [Golem Contract], It becomes a golem as well.
The point was that you could make a ‘contract’ with these special beings.
When the information on these runes was first revealed, the Holder world was not easily suspicious.
Can you tame a monster that is hostile to the Holder?
Trained monsters don’t attack humans?
It was because it was something that I couldn’t understand.
However, researchers like Professor Dong-wook Kang appear, who specialize in this, and cases of monsters that have actually been successfully trained come out one after another…
[Training Contract] Was finally recognized as a special type of rune.
“As the training of the monster continued successfully, the theory that had been floating around like an established theory in the international academic community was also cracked.”
“What theory?”
I asked Professor Kang Dong-wook’s words.
He spoke with a determined expression.
“The theory that the monster will always be the enemy of mankind. Just as our holders were empowered by the system, they too were just lost intellect by the system. This is a non-mainstream academic argument, but… Some even classify them as beings from the other world.”
“Existence of another world….”
I quietly chewed on the word.
Not because I was surprised by the new word, but because a fairly familiar word came from an unexpected person.
‘Has it already been researched that far?’
A being from another world, a monster.
Although it is now referred to as a non-mainstream academic argument, it later becomes a clear mainstream academic argument.
The starting point of the dungeon is ‘City of Excommunicated Wolves’.
The dungeon where Park Jin-woo sets foot in the second half of the play.
An episode of 〈 Next Rune Holder 〉 that I hadn’t seen before I was possessed.
In this dungeon, ‘werewolves’ who try to communicate with humans for the first time appear, and as a result, the perception of monsters changes 180 degrees from before.
It’s complicated, but to sum it up into one.
They are not enemies that simply appeared as a singular phenomenon, but are ‘existences from another world’ entangled in a system like the holders.
The discovery of the ‘City of Excommunicated Wolves’ dungeon and the study of the [Training Contract] Rune caused this change in perception.
Professor Kang Dong-wook continued to say such things with his excited face…
Soon after, I looked at the time and said if I wanted to oops.
“It’s a little wordy. Anyway, going back to the main point, common runes are important for training classes as well as other classes. Without the assistance of the common runes, there are many more cases where the contract target cannot exert its full power.”
To sum up his story, it was this.
In using the [Training Contract]…
The most important thing is ‘leadership level’ and ‘subsidiary runes’.
Among them, leadership is a very important indicator that determines the number of tameable grades and contracts.
You can train E-class monsters below 10, D-class monsters with 10 or more, C-class monsters with 20 or more, and B-class monsters with 30 or more.
However, this was just a general figure, and it could be different depending on the performance or level of the rune.
The maximum number of contracts available also depends on the circumstances.
‘The auxiliary runes are also absolute.’
The second element, the secondary rune, is also key.
Various common runes such as [Language] And [Summon] Runes, which Professor Kang Dong-wook explained, as well as [Share Magical Power] And [Strengthen Contract].
Each rune has slightly different effects and performance, but most of them are runes that get closer to contractors and increase their combat efficiency little by little.
Even if I succeeded in training the monster right away, I couldn’t expect a meaningful power increase without these guys.
“By the way, Do Jae-hyun’s holder doesn’t have these common runes, right?”
Professor Kang Dong-wook suddenly asked with a worried face.
“I don’t know much about multi-holders, so I don’t know how to get new runes. As I said before, even if you have a training contract rune, it will be difficult to actively use the rune if you do not have other auxiliary runes.”
As mentioned earlier, training of monsters requires several prerequisites, and if you do not have them perfectly, it is difficult to properly use runes, no matter how high the [Training Contract] Level is.
Professor Kang Dong-wook pointed out that.
Besides, he was actually right.
I only had the training type [Promise made by the dragon] Rune, but I didn’t have any other common runes.
However, contrary to Professor Kang Dong-wook’s concerns.
Those things didn’t bother me at all.
“Professor. How many students are there in the academy training class?”
“… Are you a student?”
Professor Kang Dong-wook asked my sudden question.
While talking with a top class expert, affiliated students?
It was an expression that asked what a stupid question it was.
“Yes. Even within the special series, the detailed series are not divided.”
No matter how rare and special a training class is, there are still students.
Anyway, the academy special class was established to educate such minor classes.
And according to Professor Kang Dong-wook…
They are obviously specialized in training classes.
There was a high probability that he had all of the auxiliary runes he mentioned.
Thinking that far, I smiled and said.
“It would be nice if there were as many as possible.”
Common runes that do not exist now.
I had an easy way to get them.
Professor Kang Dong-wook replied with a slightly confused face.
“There are about three people, but….”
I nodded my head in satisfaction.
3 people
Um, that’s fine
