276 – Clan Creation (5)
“It’s been a while, Jaehyun.”
A soft voice is heard, and a beautiful smile falls on the lips.
I thought I was lucky when I saw that.
Because.
This is because this smile is a painting that cannot be easily found anywhere.
He was a person who was often evaluated as cold because he did not show much emotion in public appearances and had a unique atmosphere when meeting people.
She is like that only in front of me.
She would often be seen smiling like this.
‘You’re so pretty when you smile…’ .’
Of course, she is always beautiful.
Just because you smile, it feels like your usual cold attitude is melting away.
A flower blooming in the snow.
Is there any word that can describe her more perfectly than this?
The main rune called [Snow Plum Blossom] Suits her better than anyone else.
It seemed like it was shining brightly alone, like a flower blooming beautifully in a snowy field.
It was my teacher, Yoo Eun-seol, whom I had not seen in months.
“Um… “Is it because it’s been so long that you don’t even greet me?”
“Ah… !”
Her mouth falls again and the scolding that sounds like a joke.
Only then did I realize that I was just staring blankly at Master without answering him.
“I’m sorry, Master.”
“Were you thinking about something else?”
“No, just…” .”
I answered while scratching my head.
“Master, your smile is so pretty… So I just thought it would be good if you smiled often.”
I was thinking about making an excuse, but I just spoke honestly.
If you are a teacher anyway…
I think a lie like that would be recognized right away.
“… Yes?”
But I guess that wasn’t what the teacher was thinking.
He couldn’t hide his embarrassment at my words.
It was visible that his gaze was shaking and his body movements were trembling.
I scolded myself as if I was hitting myself on the head.
‘Ah, I shouldn’t say useless things….’
I should have just made up an excuse.
It’s been a long time since we last met, and I was worried that Master would think it was strange.
“Hmm. “You said you went to Russia this time, right?”
So I quickly cleared my throat and changed the topic.
After conquering With me, Master has been traveling around the country and abroad.
There is only one purpose.
To find a direction to grow your runes in various ways.
Even though you are already at the peak of your skills in a certain field, have reached S-class holder, and have earned all the honors… She constantly tried to raise herself to a higher level.
Isn’t the reason why she receives so much respect from her domestic followers because of her original intention and passion?
Anyway, Master went to Russia for a while and returned home today.
“Ah… yes. “There wasn’t much income.”
Master, who was embarrassed for a moment, quickly regained his complexion.
The usual cold atmosphere has returned.
But he seemed to be lost in thought for a moment…
Soon, he smiled slightly and spoke to me.
“Jaehyun did some pretty big things while I was away, right?”
… For some reason, it’s a smile that looks quite awkward.
Are you laughing because of what I said earlier?
‘… ‘At this level, delusions of grandeur are a disease.’
I shook my head and dismissed the foolish thoughts.
“Yes. “I’ve been having a bit of trouble lately because of that.”
“For all that, the clan members were flashy, weren’t they? “They also took colleagues who had been with me for a long time.”
“I was lucky.”
Of course, it wasn’t just luck.
Because the new clan starts with everything lacking compared to the regular clan, the conditions and treatment were somewhat unconventional.
This created an incentive for talented independent holders to definitely move on.
Thanks to this, many talented players confirmed their membership despite being a clan with many concerns.
… Among them, it was truly a lucky case that super-high-quality people like Lim Hyeon and Jeong Seon-young came in.
“So are you finished recruiting clan members?”
Master asked me with a strange expression.
I swallowed my nerves and answered carefully.
“One more person… “There is someone I would like to recruit.”
“There is, but… ?”
“I don’t know if he will come in. “He is such a great person.”
As I spoke with a slight smile, the teacher also had a smile on his face.
I may say it differently, but we both knew the target.
The pinnacle of the self-proclaimed assassin line.
S-class holder who does not belong to anywhere….
Yoo Eun-seol.
The woman in front of her was the final puzzle in recruiting this clan member.
And after a moment of silence, her mouth quickly drops.
“I have an idea too.”
“Are you sure?”
I asked back in surprise.
What is more surprising is that it goes straight to the main topic without spinning around, but the content is a positive sign.
There is only one S-class holder in each of the three major clans in Korea.
If such a being comes to the newly created clan…
Its status could grow incomparably to what it is now.
“Instead, there is a condition.”
Master raised his right hand and spread one of his fingers.
“What are the conditions?”
“Yes. Things like joining contracts and salaries don’t really matter. Jaehyun can do whatever he wants. Only… Ultimate skill.”
“Ultimate skill?”
“This is the ultimate skill Jaehyun mentioned earlier. A skill that was discovered incompletely while attacking Wolfenser. “I want us to study the perfection of that skill together, and then teach it to me as well.”
“… Ah!”
An ultimate skill that was used to defeat countless Jurgen during the attack on , Putting them in a state of almost trance.
[Plum Blossom Sword Technique] Rune, [Aesthetics of Falling Flowers].
A skill that digs into a group of enemies and then quickly scrapes away all the enemies.
It is quite rare among physical attack skills…
It was a wide-range machine with quite powerful performance.
It is not yet a completed skill as condition 5 has not been satisfied, but if completed, it is an ability that can be used as the main skill when dealing with assassin-type powers.
I told my teacher about this when I finished clearing the dungeon, and he seems to have remembered it.
“This time, Jaehyun is teaching me. How is it?”
And the teacher smiled slightly and waved his finger.
Is it because I said something unnecessary earlier?
There was an unusual atmosphere about her today.
And that look…
I answered as if I was somehow possessed.
“… Call.”
Recruit an S-class assassin with just one ultimate skill?
This was a deal that had to be accepted unconditionally.
* * *
-S-class holder Yoo Eun-seol finally breaks away from being an independent and joins a clan!
-Yoo Eun-seol, into the arms of Do Jae-hyun… The meeting between teacher and disciple.
– Among the S-class holders, there are numerous A-class veterans. It’s not like a large clan!
-The golden generation has all gathered! Pay attention to the 2nd year clan members.
…
…
The news of the teacher joining a new clan spread quickly and was covered in articles.
From Noble mtl dot com
It was quite a refreshing shock to see that the peak of the assassin line, which had been focused solely on solo play, was joining a clan, and a newly created clan at that.
That’s not all.
Veteran clan members who have been active as solo players for a long time.
2Nd year students called the golden generation and various prospects….
There were quite a few expected resources.
No matter how new the clan was, it was becoming a force that could not be ignored.
And with him.
Expectations for our clan were also heightened everywhere.
“Then, starting tomorrow, we will declare its establishment and prepare it for activity.”
“Thank you for your convenience, Mr. Association President.”
“hahahaha. You’re saying a lot. “In terms of help, there are far more associations.”
The creation of a clan, which was in the planning stage, has entered the concrete stage.
List of recruited clan members, selection of general employees, internal department settings, short-term operation plan, etc…
The very basic level of clan formation has been completed, and all related meetings with the Academy and Holder Association have been completed.
Preparations are over, all that needs to be done is declaration.
It was an instant for it to be put into practice.
In particular, thanks to Professor Tak Won-ho, who had been preparing for this for longer than me, the creation of our clan was carried out fairly quickly and concisely.
-Do Jae-hyeon, clan creation! The name is …
-What will Do when the veil is finally lifted?
– Scouters from each clan unanimously say, “This is the best new clan ever.”
…
…
The clan name was decided as .
If translated directly, it means ‘hunter who punishes evil,’ and it was a name that continued the banner of , Which can be seen as the clan’s predecessor, and also contained our clan’s first goal of chasing down the Ludenarch School.
‘… Actually, it was given that name because of rune hunters.’
There is also a hidden meaning.
The name is based on the ‘hunter’ of my main rune, [Rune Hunter].
[Rune Hunter] Is a rune that has not been revealed to the public yet, so no one knows its meaning… It was a very meaningful name in that it was a clan I created with my own strength after experiencing all the events that had happened so far.
“Luckily, I was able to get the Clan Tower quickly.”
The Clan Tower in Was completed centered around a building near the Academy.
Originally, it would have taken a huge amount of time to find the land and build the interior, but there happened to be a land and building nearby that was being renovated into a clan tower, so we were able to purchase it and complete the cleanup.
The clan that owned the building was .
For some reason, they handed over the building, which was already nearing completion, to our clan at a very reasonable price.
-We’re quite late, so we’ll have to do this to catch up. I feel like giving a building as a gift, but there will also be people looking at it from the outside… Anyway, I hope we can use this as an opportunity to become friends.
Song Do-hyuk whom I first met at the Friendship Clan Agreement.
He said such ambiguous words while trading clan towers.
What is it that is late and what is it that we are catching up with? .
As expected, each S-class holder seems to have an eccentric side.
Anyway, thanks to the favor of , Our clan was able to quickly obtain a fairly grand and splendid clan tower.
“Really… “I created the clan.”
A large building in front of you.
Also called EH Tower…
Clan tower of ‘our clan’.
It is only when you see this in your eyes that it becomes real.
The moment when everyone doubted and even I thought it was impossible.
That has finally become a reality.
.
A clan I created with my own efforts.
I have been the master of this clan since today.
