The runes to be obtained from Kim Do-yoon were virtually fixed.
[The momentum of the exploding sword].
The core rune that is his trademark, and one of the few Epic runes he owns.
The moment this comes out, there is no need to look at any other options.
Besides, even if it wasn’t a non-selectable rune, I didn’t need runes like [Stamina] or [Samjae Swordsmanship].
Because higher-level runes such as [Solid Endurance], [Running Sword Technique], and [Wave Sword Technique] perform much better.
Considering that there is a limit to the runes that can be acquired, now, as in the past, it was impossible to acquire any runes blindly.
[You have acquired the momentum of the exploding sword. Since it is a level 7 epic rune, the level has dropped and it is registered as level 4.]
[You have obtained a new rune.]
[Acquires 1 Strength and 3 Magical Power based on the rune’s tendency.]
＜Rune Information＞
◎Name: The momentum of the exploding sword
◎Rating: Epic
◎Level: 4
◎Engraved part: left forearm
◎Special effects
: When using a sword to damage an opponent or collide with a specific object, it can freely explode. (The intensity and amount of the explosion is proportional to the rune level.) The source energy of the explosion is replaced with magic power, and the nature of the magic is fire. If you do not have a rune that controls magical power, it is deactivated, and you cannot use the rune even when the user’s magic is depleted.
: When you have a fire attribute type magic rune, the power of the rune is slightly increased.
: If you spend time using runes related to amplification and condensation of magical power, a more powerful explosion is possible.
◎Derived Skills: –
◎Details
: The condensed magic power just before it explodes is gathered in the sword. If you can use a sword, you can explode anywhere, and you can detonate anything.
A dense rune of information cluttered my eyes.
Well, it’s almost like a brick.
Because it is a direct battle series epic rune that boasts so much power, the explanations are quite large and the conditions are quite complicated.
‘I first… All of them.’
The source energy of the explosion is replaced with magic.
Therefore, you must possess a magic-related rune to use this rune.
Fortunately, I am satisfied with all of those conditions.
He has the [Magic Control] rune, [Magic Amplification] and [Scorching Flame], so he has all of the auxiliary runes that can enhance the runes.
There are so many runes that I have acquired so far, so I was ready to use this newly acquired unfamiliar rune perfectly.
‘But how far is the standard of the sword?’
As I was reading the information, a question came to my mind.
This is a pretty important agenda for me.
My main weapon is a sword, no matter what anyone says, but recently I have been taught by Yoo Eun-seol and have been using daggers and short swords no less than that.
Although the explosion sound was noisy, it was clear that it would be an advantage to have a wider range of abilities anyway.
‘I don’t know about runes.’
It is written as a sword, but its scope is not accurately described.
It seemed like I had to figure it out by writing it myself.
I’ll have to try it out when I’m alone.
But then, out of the blue, some information windows came to mind.
[Newly acquired runes are linked, and existing skills are affected.]
[The information of the derived skill ‘Quarter Knife’ is updated.]
[The information of the derived skill ‘Stair Slash’ is updated.]
‘What, all of a sudden.’
skill linkage.
I thought it would come out someday, but I didn’t know it would appear in such an unexpected place.
I quickly checked the skill information of [Quarter Knife].
＜Skill Information＞
◎Name: Quarter Knife
◎Derived Rune: Master of Martial Arts (Dagger)
◎Waiting time: 30 minutes
◎Conditions: Use four daggers.
◎Effect of use
: Throws four daggers at the opponent. It is an ordinary throwing skill, but one random out of the four contains condensed magical power and can inflict intense damage. The user does not know which of the four daggers will contain magical energy.
*Bido bomb (the force of the exploding sword)
: A new effect has been added in connection with a specific rune. When using a skill, if the user wishes, the skill can be given explosive properties. This property is granted only to one of the four thrown swords that contain magical power.
‘Wow. This is what happens.’
A new effect was added to [Quarter Knife] in conjunction with [Explosive Sword Momentum].
[Quarter Knife] is a throwing skill in which magical power is concentrated on only one of the four daggers, like Russian Roulette, and it has an additional effect of imparting explosive properties to one of the condensed magical powers.
The few ranged attacks that I have have been strengthened with more powerful power.
Convenience was also excellent, as you can disable the effect when you don’t want it.
‘It’s an instant rune.’
I quickly realized why the skill was strengthened in connection with the runes.
Until now, runes related to magic had been obtained several times.
[Smoldering Flame], [The Wave that Swallows a Whirlpool], [Garden of the Cracked Earth], etc…
There are already quite a few runes related to attributes.
However, the reason that other skills were not linked at that time was because the corresponding magic runes took a lot of time in the process of responding to magic and converting it into attributes.
On the other hand, [Explosive Sword’s Momentum] causes an instantaneous explosion if the magic power responds.
Compared to other magic runes, the intermediate process was omitted, and it was much faster.
Thanks to this, the information seemed to have been updated as it affected the skills.
The skill information of [Stair Slash] also had a similar effect.
‘Other skills don’t seem to work because they are on the physical side.’
In addition to these skills, there are two more skills to use the sword.
[Sequence] and [Hide Attack].
However, unlike the previous skills, these two skills did not seem to have any added effects because they were all skills with a ‘physical attack tendency’.
Boom, woo-woo-
murmur-
“No, how did this happen… .”
“The 32 trillion won, are you all okay?!”
“Assistant, call the Shinsung professor immediately!”
It’s about time to sort out the newly acquired abilities.
The door to our room opened, and the surroundings became very noisy.
Professor Kwang-Bu Kim and the students of ＜Collection of by-products＞.
they came together
As a result of the intense battle, soundproofing items and [Brenzy Potion], suspicious traces that anyone can see.
A sufficient explanation was needed.
“My name is Do Jae-hyeon, the captain of Article 32, Professor.”
After I lead my exhausted body.
He calmly began to explain to Professor Kwang-Bu Kim.
* * *
– Kim Do-yoon, a first-year warrior, was a spy for ＜Villain＞!
-The spy who appeared again after Ando-kwon…
-A wild villain, is the academy still suffering?
– First-year Do Jae-hyeon who was attacked, ＜Anti-Villain＞ found a circle.
– Establishment of a first-year circle that came out after 6 years, approval confirmed.
“… … .”
Cha Soo-yeon quietly closed the newspaper.
After Kim Do-yun’s attack on Do Jae-hyun failed, the academy and all kinds of media focused on the incident and published articles every day.
Most of the article is about ＜villain＞.
The Academy is overflowing with ＜villain＞ spies…
With this incident as an opportunity, we need to spur the search…
We need to protect Do Jae-hyeon from being attacked… etc.
Contents about the infiltration of ＜villain＞ inside the Academy, which had been quiet for a while, were constantly raised, and the public’s negative public opinion about it was constantly pouring in.
It’s absurd that ＜villain＞ is in the academy.
The criminal organization must be uprooted.
The current newspaper content contained all such opinions.
looking at him quietly…
Cha Soo-yeon opened her mouth heavily.
“It’s Yoon Jae.”
“Yes, Professor.”
From the mouth of Ji Yoon-jae, who was kneeling on one knee, an answer came out without even a second of hesitation.
Even though it is clear that she is angry, Cha Soo-yeon does not put pressure on her.
It was at this time that she was most at risk.
In times like these, I had to respond without delay.

Ji Yoon-jae, who has received the most praise and punishment from her at the same time, now knows her disposition better than anyone else.“The ripple effect of failure… It’s a little big.”
This operation is a failure.
Not just a failure, but a complete failure.
The target, Do Jae-hyeon, could not be eliminated, nor could he hide that this was the work of ＜Villain＞.
Neither of them succeeded, and only the headwinds were a tremendously devastating operation.
“sorry. I also had to work… ”

Ji Yoon-jae also participated in this operation.When the operation is all over, the role of killing Kim Do-yoon is the finale.
However, there was no plan in his mind that the mad Kim Do-yoon would be defeated, so he could not take part in any related situation.
All he could do was quietly leave the scene when everything was over and people’s eyes were on him.
“If that was the case, you and I would be in danger. You judged well.”
A rare compliment came out of Cha Soo-yeon’s mouth.
And, as she said, it was a reasonable decision.
Even if Kim Do-yoon is caught, it only strengthens the boundaries of the academy and does not cause any major problems, but it is a different story when Ji Yun-jae is caught.
“Are you a senior clan member?”
This is because Ji Yoon-jae is in a different position from other clan members.
＜Villain＞ My academy branch operates like a point organization.
Ordinary clan members move with orders that are issued, but all instructions are delivered in secret using an intermediary.
Because of this, even the intermediary who delivers the command does not know that it is the task of the ＜villain＞, and the general clan members who are assigned to it have no idea who is at the top.
Therefore, even if they are discovered during the operation, it is only revealed that they belong to ＜Villain＞.
No other facts could be ascertained by the interrogation.
However, in the case of Ji Yoon-jae, who communicates directly with the branch manager Cha Su-yeon and carries out his duties, when his identity is discovered, there is a possibility that it may become a danger to the entire ＜Villain＞ clan.
As a senior clan member who occupies a place within the clan, he needed to pay attention to his actions and performance.
“Anyway… Now that this has happened, I will have to buy a little more for the time being.”
Tiredness was evident in Cha Soo-yeon’s voice.
It was not like her, it was a troubled expression.

Ji Yoon-jae replied with his head bowed.“I will go with Plan A, which was originally planned.”
Plan A, originally planned.
After infiltrating Do Jae-hyeon’s ＜Anti-Villain＞ circle as a member, he confuses the circle activities by leaking false information or twisting the direction.
Considering that ＜Anti-Villain＞, which will grow even bigger after this incident, it was a plan that became much more important than before.
Cha Su-yeon quietly nodded at Ji Yoon-jae’s words.
and…
I added one more word.
“Do Jae-hyun assassination operation. Plan again. While maintaining Plan A.”
“again… mean?”
“Umm- I definitely felt it through this incident. Jaehyun Do, that child is too much of a stumbling block to our activities.”
Kim Do-yoon, who had gone mad, was easily subdued without any injuries, even with the help of archers.
Do Jae-hyeon has become so strong that it cannot be compared with the ‘Ando Kwon Incident’, which was used as an indicator the other day.
The growth rate is almost astonishing.
Cha Su-yeon and Ji Yoon-jae completely missed…
This case was the cause of the failure.
“If we leave it as it is, one day we will stick a knife in our necks.”
Cha Su-yeon was wary of such Do Jae-hyun.
He’s an all-time prospect who is growing at a very fast pace right now, but such a student holder even creates a circle called ＜Anti-Villain＞?
He was a stumbling block to the organization’s policies, and he was a very dangerous person for those who worked there.
Cha Soo-yeon’s eyes lit up coldly.
“Before that, you must… ”
So that became even more important.
“I think I must kill him.”
Do Jae-hyun.
The point was that he had now become a target to be exterminated, rather than a target to watch out for.
