After a busy Friday and weekend…
Monday came again.
After class, we headed to the library for a while.
I got a text message with a friendly name.
[Lee Ji-hye] Hello, Do Jae-hyun Holder! It’s been a while since I texted you. Can I call you right now?
Lee Ji-hye.
As an employee of the Korea Holders’ Association, I and I met as an examiner when upgrading to a C-class holder.
The image of her that remains in my memory…
A good working association employee.
At that time, even though we had a lot of trouble hunting the Bukhansan field together, it was impressive that he handled his work neatly without personal feelings.
Thanks to that image, I had a good relationship with her.
He sent greetings from time to time, and whenever he had a chance to visit the Holders’ Association, he always visited her.
Of course, it was a car that had been idle for a while because there were too many things to worry about after the start of the class.
“What’s going on?”
I got a text message from her after a long time.
A text message asking if you can call.
Without thinking, I immediately pressed the button and dialed.
Maybe he was waiting for a call, and the ringing sound didn’t last long.
“hello?”
-Hello, Do Jaehyun Holder?
“Yes, examiner. Long time no see.”
A friendly voice came over the phone.
-Nice to meet you! How have you been?
“Yeah, what. I am always the same.”
– Do you still hunt all day these days?
“Yes? Ah, that… haha. At that time, I was in a hurry to get promoted… These days, the class has just started and I am very busy. I don’t have time to hunt.”
A C-class holder who was the minimum requirement to participate in the Swirl Leviathan Hunt at the time.
I put a lot of effort into meeting that standard in time.
… Thanks to that, Lee Ji-hye, who was watching the judgement, was also separated.
When I answered awkwardly for nothing, feeling sorry, Lee Ji-hye responded, ‘Ah!’
-Right! Recently, I heard the news from Do Jae-hyun Holder. You said you were fighting a spy on the villain side. Are you all right?
“Yes. I’m fine.”
– I’m really happy. I don’t know how the villain clan members infiltrated the academy.
It’s because they’re so rude.
Even he’s a dwarf… .
Those words came all the way up to my chin, but I barely endured it and answered.
“That’s it.”
-Oh! The reason I contacted you today is related to that.
“which… You mean I had a fight with the villain’s spy?”
-Yes Yes.
The sound of flipping papers over the phone could be heard.
It seemed that Lee Ji-hye was looking for something.
And then the voice was heard again.
– This is really absurd, but… The achievements that Holder Jae-hyun Do registered with the association are now close to B-grade.
At those words, my voice naturally grew louder.
“Yes? B-class?”
-yes. Well, in a nutshell… Achievement of solo capture of undiscovered dungeon hobgoblin village and registration of complete ownership, joint hunting of disaster S-class monster Swir Leviathan, joint attack of undiscovered dungeon snake-covered forest, joint attack and joint ownership of undiscovered dungeon stained rock pile Registration, various field and dungeon hunting achievements…
crazy… .
That’s a lot of nonsense really.
Lee Ji-hye, who recites the achievements of my activities as if out of breath, continued.
-I don’t know how you did this in less than 3 months, but anyway, the results are already close to B-grade. If you attack at least one low-level dungeon as a joint attack, I think you will be satisfied with all the performance conditions.
“okay.”
-By the way, even if you are satisfied with your performance, if you don’t have good skills, you won’t be promoted, right?
“Yeah, what. Yes.”
-At the same time, I heard the news of Do Jae-hyun Holder. It is said that he fought alone against a mad B-class holder and won.
“… I didn’t fight alone.”
Because I fought with Moon Ga-eun… .
Damn exaggerated article.
How the hell did you write an article, everyone who heard the news knows this.
-Anyway, I thought that I would pass the B-grade examination even with my skills… I tried to contact you like this. If you have time, I would like you to come to see the B-grade promotion review… !
At Lee Ji-hye’s words, I nodded my head.
Usually student holders go hunting every weekend to accumulate achievements.
This is because the achievements required for the promotion of a B-class holder are quite large, so it is difficult to advance if you do not hunt consistently every time you have time.
However, I didn’t hunt much because I spent a lot of time training and was busy with personal work.
Instead, the achievements when I went hunting once were huge.
Attacking a number of undiscovered dungeons and hunting high-level fields…
Even participating in the elimination of disaster monsters organized by the association.
With so many great achievements, without even knowing it, it seemed that he had almost satisfied the conditions required for a B-grade promotion.
“All right. Then, when I have time, I will visit the association.”
-yes! There is still one achievement left at the level of co-attacking the dungeon, so don’t forget that too!
“Yes, examiner. Thank you for caring me.”
That’s how the short call with Lee Ji-hye ended.
I moved back the steps I had stopped and fiddled with my phone.
“It’s a B-class holder… .”
It was only three months ago that I was promoted to C-Class.
Although he has continued to grow at the blink of an eye, he did not know that he would rise to the level of B so quickly.
It’s not just grades.
Right now, I am consolidating my surroundings even more tightly.
“… … .”
It’s been about 3 weeks since classes started.
This semester was a big turning point for me.
If the first semester of entering as a freshman was a stage of adjusting to a new world and establishing a position as a holder…
Semester 2 is the process of coping with the change and finding a way on your own.
That was the process of learning [Maehwa Swordsmanship] from Yoo Eun-seol and nurturing the abilities of the assassin class, and it was the same with creating a circle called ＜Anti-Villain＞ and responding to the boundaries of ＜Villain＞.
He has been constantly seeking ways not to be swayed by the quickly acquired power and sudden fame, and not to destroy it.
The result was this second semester, which has been busy since the beginning of the semester.
“It’s still not enough.”
Still, it wasn’t enough.
Although I am now much stronger and growing faster than my peers, I need a more sophisticated and powerful force to face ＜Villain＞.
Even Cha Su-yeon is right now.
As long as she is the branch manager of my academy of ＜Villain＞, and even infiltrated the scene as a spy…
A confrontation with her in the future is unavoidable.
Cha Soo-yeon has the ability to reach the threshold of at least an A-class and a maximum of an S-class.
In order to face her like that, I needed to be much stronger than I am now.
“and… .”
And how to be strong.
There are various means, but the one I can definitely choose right now is…
It was as if it had already been decided.
＜Item information＞
◎Name: Forgotten Dragon’s Slate
◎Type: Special
◎Class: Legendary
◎Producer: –
◎Special effects
: A special power is sealed. If you fill all the magic stones of the forgotten dragons, the seal will be released. (3/5)
…
…
Items obtained by attacking the ‘Academy Underground Dungeon’.
＜Villain＞ The item that enabled senior clan member Ji Yoon-jae to become a ‘assassin riding a dragon’.
If I filled all of these [Forgotten Dragon’s Slabs] and acquired the legendary runes, it was clear that I could become even stronger.
“… The problem is that there is no information about the dragon.”
In the original, there were only scenes where Ji Yoon-jae was holding the [Forgotten Dragon’s Slate], and after that, he had already gotten stronger by acquiring the legendary rune.
It did not come out about the process of filling it up and becoming stronger, or what kind of dragons they hunted.
In other words, in order to fill the magic stone of this dragon, I have to sell my feet and find out the related information.
And the Academy Library, located in the center, is where the most information about monsters is gathered in the Academy.
Read at noblemtl.com
Just after class was over.It was the reason I walked for a long time to the library.
‘Whoa… When are you going to read all of this?’
I sat down on the other side of the library and looked up at the ‘books about dragons’ that I had randomly picked out.
At a glance, I think there are more than ten volumes…
I don’t know if I’ll be able to read all of this within today.
Besides, even if I read it, I don’t know if I can get the information I want.
It was because the amount of books in the library was huge, and there were many books full of useless bullshit.
‘… You should read it though.’
There was no other way.
Unless there was accurate information about the dragon, he had to search for anything on his own.
I slowly turned the pages of the first book and began to read endlessly.
30 minutes like that.
1 hours.
2 hours…
How long has it been?
The time is almost three hours, and when I turn over five or more books full of useless information…
“ah!”
I was able to find a clue.
– … … Meanwhile, the debate about the Wyvern, a Class A monster, is still ongoing. Although Griffins and Manticores of the same grade are often seen in some fields, this is because it is rare to encounter a Wyvern. It is also a monster with very little information about the registered monster, and the credibility of the stories of the holders who actually faced the Wyverns… …
‘Yes, Wyvern.’
A-class monster, Wyvern.
There is very little information on registered monsters, and it is often heard about whether or not they actually exist.
Considering this information and the legends about dragons that have been found so far, the Wyvern is a beast with a high probability of being a dragon.
Even in the original, the Wyvern had never appeared directly, and there was one undiscovered dungeon where it was presumed to be there.
Songnisan Field in Chungcheongbuk-do.
A dungeon hidden somewhere in it, ‘the nest hidden in the clouds’.
A special type of dungeon with mostly aerial monsters.
If the Wyvern existed.
It was most likely to appear in this dungeon.
Of course, since it is a dungeon that was only mentioned in the original story, it is a dungeon with little known about the location of the discovery, the conditions for attack, the monster that appears, etc…
The mere existence of the possibility of a sub-dragon was enough to give it a try.
