269 – Equipment Enhancement (1)
All the major problems that had accumulated so far have been resolved.
The key task during the vacation was the Strategy and subsequent processing, completing the [Order of Harmony] Research and organizing the existing contractors, and growing and strengthening the abilities I had.
The biggest problem of all was…
Getting permission from your parents to have a romantic relationship.
After finishing everything in a positive direction, I felt relieved that things were over.
Of course, we only solved the tasks that were immediately in front of us.
There were still bigger problems that needed to be resolved.
[Park Ji-hwan Holder] Jaehyun, I am Park Ji-hwan. I asked Jinwoo and got his number. I have some things to talk about regarding the Ludenarch School, so please contact me when you have time.
A new group of ‘evil’ that appeared following .
A group that may be even more vicious, the Ludenarch School.
It was a journey to chase after them and ultimately destroy them.
After the breathtaking meeting with my father-in-law, I met with Park Ji-hwan and shared our future schedule.
Sharing various reports on the Ludenarch School, action guidelines when discovering them, cooperation structures with associations and large clans, etc….
It was a discussion of specific measures to bring them down.
After meeting Park Ji-hwan and talking about this, it felt like the previously chaotic plan was coming into structure.
“It feels like school has finally started.”
After completing all the big things.
I lay down on the desk in the classroom and enjoyed the feeling of freedom.
It feels like we are finally welcoming a new year and a new semester.
“What does Dad say?”
And then a disgusting voice comes from next to you.
I was startled and raised my head.
“What? Are you taking this lecture?”
“Oh, I’m sorry, but you’re the one who’s been skipping class.”
Park Jin-woo looks at me with a puzzled expression.
… Actually, he was right.
Because I was so busy with things at the beginning of the semester, I skipped a few liberal arts classes that were less important.
Missing class is not allowed under any circumstances, but sometimes the dictionary gets torn.
When I was busy dealing with things that came up, sometimes promises to others other than myself were broken.
“But I only missed it twice, including OT.”
“I am proud. So, what does my dad say?”
“We talked about Luden Arc. “What stance should I take in the future and how should I chase them down?”
Park Ji-hwan is the person who knows the most about Luden Arc among the current holder circles.
He was the one who first gave me a clue, so it was natural to talk about the Luden Arc with him.
But Park Jin-woo was surprised by my words and asked back.
“Does Dad know about Ludenarch?”
“… What is he saying now. “Don’t you know what your dad is doing?”
“I know it’s a holder.”
You know nothing more about your father than I do.
Jinwoo Park, who naturally brought up such an absurd story, pulled out the chair next to me and sat down with a squeak.
“My dad is the ultimate wild goose dad, so he sends a lot of money home but doesn’t reveal what he’s doing. So when he comes home, he gets beaten up by his mom. “Nowadays, my younger brother’s head is bigger and sometimes he gets beaten by my younger sister.”
“… ….”
What kind of family have you been living in? .
While my expression was filled with shock, Jinwoo Park shrugged his shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“I now know that my father has the power of a seeker. Maybe it was because I too had awakened to that power this time, but my dad recognized it first. He said he finally got it.”
I heard about Park Jin-woo’s new awakening some time ago.
[Seeker of Balance].
He said that he was able to obtain a rune that he had never heard of in his life, and that he gained the so-called ‘seeker’s power’ by acquiring several related runes.
Generally, rune acquisition occurs through some medium, such as holder awakening, rest room compensation, or special items… Park Jin-woo was unique in that he obtained the rune through enlightenment during the battle.
That means one thing.
‘It means that he originally had a talent for that power.’
As he just said, Park Jin-woo’s father, Park Ji-hwan, also possessed the ‘power of a seeker.’
In other words, it means that Park Jin-woo’s original talent has not yet been revealed.
Damn protagonist buff.
Although he possessed such powerful runes, he must have had the power to come out again.
Anyway, Park Jin-woo was newly awakened, and made a remarkable achievement by defeating the magicians of Luden Arc in the flank area.
In particular, the magic of the ‘man in a robe’ that he had personally dealt with was of great help in writing a report on Ludenarch.
“Anyway, your dad is an important person in the pursuit of Ludenarch, right?”
“Very much. Among the current holders, he is probably the one who knows the most about Luden Arc. “He will probably face a lot in the future.”
“That’s good news.”
Drurruk-
While we were talking, the classroom door opened.
He was the professor in charge of this class .
As soon as the professor entered the classroom, he opened the textbook without even calling attendance.
‘That’s right.’
A lecture famous for the professor not calling attendance.
That’s why I applied, and it was just as rumored.
Probably, attendance was acknowledged even on the days I had missed.
This is a very fortunate thing for me as I have been busy for a while.
Even though it was a liberal arts course, there was a reason why the competition rate was fierce.
But….
“As I told you in advance last time, there will be a personal presentation in the next class. “I hope you will create your own report and PPT and prepare for the presentation.”
When the professor opened his textbook and opened his mouth, a sound like a lightning bolt came out.
It was news about the assignment that came out of nowhere.
I quickly turned my head and tried ventriloquism.
-Hey, what is it? There was no talk about assignments.
-I don’t know, me too. I didn’t even know such a thing existed because I kept sleeping during class.
-What? Oh, really….
I was a fool for trusting this bastard.
Actually, there was no way Jinwoo Park could concentrate and listen to a lecture without any practical training.
It’s a miracle just to get into a class that doesn’t even call for attendance.
Of course, with my current reputation, I could get away with organizing assignments for unknown liberal arts classes….
‘There is no need to make news.’
Rather, the problem was that his reputation increased.
Those who wanted to make anything into an issue could turn even trivial stories like this into news.
Even though I don’t really pay attention to what people around me think, there was no need to force myself to make such scratches.
But fortunately among the misfortunes, the professor had mercy.
“Hmm. It seems that there are students who are not paying attention in class, so we are announcing this again. “For this assignment, you will purchase the equipment you will use yourself, and write a report about what you felt and any difficulties you encountered during the process.”
Ah, I remembered.
Another reason why this course is famous among students.
It was a unique assignment to purchase combat equipment for oneself, use it, and present one’s impressions.
As the cost issue arose, it became a hot topic among students, and perhaps that was why it was written as a very strong caution in the syllabus.
“It doesn’t matter whether it’s normal equipment worth a few thousand won or rare equipment worth millions of won. What is important is what the students felt while purchasing and using the equipment themselves. “I hope this can be written honestly in the report.”
The professor began class with that announcement.
I slowly turned my head again and performed ventriloquism.
-Hey, what are you going to buy?
-What should I buy? Just buy any normal equipment. Take the cheapest one.
-What? Isn’t it better to buy what you need when you have to buy it at most?
-I don’t need anything? The equipment you bought is still great. It’s a waste of money.
This guy earns a lot of money, but he doesn’t even spend it very much. Why does he save so much?
I was a fool for thinking about taking a look around some equipment with him for the first time in a while.
I shook my head and focused on class.
I think I need to find a more suitable shopping partner.
* * *
I chose the right shopping partner.
“No, Juyeon…” .”
But I chose too big a person.
“But I didn’t mean to come to the auction house….”
Kang Joo-yeon made up her mind and brought me to the auction house.
Yongsan Premium Auction House.
This is an auction house exclusively for holders, said to be the largest in Seoul, and boasts much larger and more luxurious buildings than the Daegu auction house I visited before.
It was a place where all the wealthy and wealthy people from all over the country gathered.
I casually called Kang Joo-yeon with the idea of going on a date and going shopping together, but I guess that wasn’t her idea.
“… “You have to be careful when buying items.”
The only successor of Korea’s top 3 clan .
As she had been exposed to the lives of her holders for a long time, purchasing her equipment was something that should not be undertaken lightly.
Especially now, I am a senior holder and have sufficient funds.
The more you do that, the more carefully you have to choose items.
Thanks to her hand, I was guided to the ‘Supreme Command Auction’ floor where the highest-end auction was taking place.

“… “Is there anything special you want to buy?”
Kang Joo-yeon asked me, caressing her joined hands.
Interestingly, I can feel the look in their eyes slightly excited.
She was busy with the strategy for For a while, and at the beginning of the semester, she was too busy getting permission from her father and taking care of related matters.
We couldn’t afford to spend time together like this.
‘It’s been a long time.’
They say there was another purpose, but Juyeon seemed to be in a pretty good mood after a long time enjoying a date alone.
I also responded with a smile.
“Um… “I was thinking about buying a shield and armor.”
When it comes to strengthening equipment, the first things that come to mind are shields and armor.
[Hobgoblin’s Bronze Shield] And [Scorched Lizard Skin Armor].
They have been together for a long time, and they are rare items with decent performance… There was also a need for replacement.
This is because these are items that I have used since the very beginning, and compared to my other equipment, which suddenly had its level increased, it was definitely lacking in some aspects.
“… “Then let’s go this way first.”
Kang Joo-yeon nodded her head and led me.
13Th floor of the central building of Yongsan Auction House.

It was a place where such a sign was hung.
