Check the amount of That is difficult to read.
The part you want to check is ‘ability level’.
General abilities, which had been at the bottom until the beginning of last year, were now all over 90 and boasting spectacular numbers.
In addition, ‘resistance abilities’ and ‘special abilities’ are created only in special situations or conditions.
It is difficult to raise it using normal methods, so it did not reach a high level, but most resistances are close to 30 and leadership exceeds 80.
Considering that even a resistance value of 100,000 creates quite strong resistance to the attribute, I was able to feel how high these values were.
Tspaat-!
Sssss-.
And they naturally became tools for recording.
An orange-colored gem sparkles in front of me.
I elicited a response to the last of the six measured magical tools, proving that all abilities were above 90.
The first screening for S-class promotion, among them the ‘ability category’.
This was passed with near perfection.
Actually, I thought about screening only my main abilities and hiding the rest, but I thought there was a need to do that when everyone in the world already knows that I am an extremely powerful multi-holder.
‘I happened to startle you.’
I look at the embarrassed association employee right next to me.
The employee was helping me measure my abilities earlier, and he touched the measuring device several times, as if he couldn’t believe this fraudulent phenomenon.
I wonder if the instrument is broken or if I measured it wrong….
His thoughts were clearly visible even without him saying anything.
‘… ‘I’m sorry for no reason.’
It’s not broken, it’s normal….
There was no way the quiet cry could be heard.
-Next is a brief written test and solving special mana structural formulas.
After the shocking ability measurement, the remaining tests of the first screening continued.
And as Jihye Lee said, this was not as difficult as I thought.
Although the special mana structural formula questions were tricky, I was able to cover them well with my [Magic Control], And the written exam was at a level that could be solved if I had carefully attended the academy theory class.
‘… It doesn’t matter if I leave here.’
Furthermore, falling from here is not the end.
S-level holder promotion is determined by scoring points through a comprehensive evaluation after completing all screening processes.
In other words, even if you lose points here, you can make up for it elsewhere.
-End. The first round of screening for Do Jae-hyun holder’s S-class promotion has been completed.
The first screening has been completed.
I feel like I solved all the given problems without any problems.
When I was personally satisfied with the results.
Someone spoke to me from beyond the screen.
-Hello, Do Jae-hyeon Holder. My name is Bill Clark and I am President of the International Holder Association. We would like to inform you that the first screening for your S-class promotion has been completed successfully. If it is okay with you, would you like to proceed directly to the second screening?

Bill Clark.
A scholar known as a rune researcher, who made the greatest contribution to systematizing the holder classes.
And in this S-class promotion review, he was the president of the International Holder Association, which was in charge of overall management along with the Korean Association.
This is a face I often see on the news, but when I see it in person, it looks neater and more decent.
Next to him was Kwon Young-hoon, president of the Korea Holder Association, a familiar face, and around him were association executives from each country who were not familiar with him.
-Yes. Let’s move on to the second screening right away.
And I responded in the affirmative and moved on.
This is a promotion review that you have to keep going through anyway.
There was no need to pause.

“I thought Holder would just stick with it!”
As expected, Jihye Lee greeted me brightly as soon as I left the exam room.
Is it really that good that I got hired?
Seeing her being happy about it as if it were her own, I smiled and said thank you.
Then we moved to the second screening room and explanations continued.
“Special judges will participate from the second screening.”
“S class holders?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
2 Each from Korea, the US, and Japan.
Also, three holders in Europe.
A total of 9 S-class holders are invited as special judges to judge.
The content up to the first screening is a general area that even association employees can judge, but the difficulty of the screening increases significantly as the subsequent screening deals with the holder’s abilities in earnest.
So, S-class holders who were featured in articles will participate in the second screening.
In any case, since it is difficult to proceed without association employees, three senior holder employees each from the International Holder Association and the Korea Holder Association are selected to conduct a joint review.
This was the second screening conducted by a total of 15 judges.
“The second screening is a screening of rune usage.”
Lee Ji-hye talks about the next screening.
The content of the examination was as expected.
“It’s similar to when I was an A-class holder, isn’t it?”
“Yes. Even if it is an S-class holder, it does not go beyond the basic framework of a rune holder. A holder who is good at handling runes and can use them appropriately according to the situation. However, the standard is just getting higher.”
In fact, if the first screening was a kind of taste test.
The second screening can be seen as the flower of holder promotion.
While the items evaluated in the first evaluation are categories that have not been commonly seen in holder promotions so far, the ‘rune utilization evaluation’ in the second evaluation is a key evaluation section that is carried out across all grades.
Starting from E-class holders, A-class holders, and now S-class holders.
Evaluation of rune utilization was essential in all promotion evaluations.
In addition, this time the judges are senior S-class holders.
I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
‘… ‘It’s a shame there isn’t a level 20 rune.’
Of course, my rune levels are not high on average.
The rune level scale of a super-high-level holder who has surpassed a high-level holder is usually considered level 20, but for me, who had very little holder experience, level 14 was the highest level.
I was able to raise it this much in a short period of time because of the [Seeker’s Sweat] Rune, but the reality is that it is difficult for holders with similar experience as me to even reach level 10.
‘After all, we are evaluating usability.’
However, the holder promotion review is not a test that evaluates ‘proficiency.’
It literally evaluates the ‘usability’ of the rune.
How well do you understand the rune?
Can you use this ability well at the right time?
In that respect, I was confident that I would not fall behind other S-classes.
The battle experience and dungeon raiding experience I have accumulated far more than that of most professional holders, and the experience of being a leader who has led a group three times gave me confidence.
“Nice to meet you, Do Jae-hyeon Holder.”
So we arrived at the second screening test site.
A huge indoor training hall located on the 3rd basement floor of the association building.
All 15 judges were gathered here.
And among them, there was Liam Hendrix, the world’s strongest holder.
“I guess we met sooner than expected.”
“I thought I would see you when you were invited to the United States, but I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“hahahaha. It’s hard to hold on until then. Moreover, Do Jae-hyun, who is attracting worldwide attention, has been promoted to S level, so wouldn’t you be disappointed if I were left out of the screening process?”
I shook hands with Liam and exchanged light greetings.
I received help during this operation, but I am also very grateful for personal reasons.
A pioneer who opened the door to polygamy around the world.
A Casanova of the Holder family with multiple wives.
I couldn’t help but like him because he was the one who solved the problem with my lovers.
Is that why?
Even though it was our first time meeting, there was no awkwardness at all and we were just happy to meet each other.
“But you speak English better than I thought?”
“Because I have language runes. “I can speak most foreign languages.”
“Really? Wow, the True Multi Holder is different.”
True multi holder.
This is a new title for me these days.
A holder who possesses a large number of runes and uses them well according to the situation.
It seems to have been given this nickname because it is taking a quite different path from the ordinary multi-holders that have appeared so far, and also has clear differences.
“… ….”
As I continued the conversation with Liam in fluent English, the other S-class holders around me seemed a little surprised.
It’s not just because I’m good at English.
Liam Hendrix is an S-rank holder, but he is also an object of admiration for fellow S-rank holders.
The idea that an emerging holder who is just challenging for S-class casually continues the conversation with a holder who has such global recognition… It seems to have been quite surprising to them.
“Okay. “Then let’s put Saddam aside for a moment and start the review.”
We had been talking in a friendly manner up until now, but the mood quickly changed.
Living is thinking, giving is going.
Liam Hendrix was a man who knew how to clearly distinguish between work and personal relationships.
‘Hello, holders.’
I said hello to my acquaintances who I had not yet been able to say hello to before.
Park Ji-hwan and Song Do-hyuk.
S-class holders with whom I am quite friendly externally.
They also nodded lightly and expressed their joy.
“You may have already heard the explanation, but the second screening is a screening of rune usage.”
And then the voice of another holder waiting next to Liam is heard.
Focus your gaze on the person in question.
The mark of the International Holder Association hangs on the left chest.
This is a Class A holder employee dispatched by the association.
“It would be best to judge by watching them perform in battle in person, but since the battles of holders challenging for S rank end so quickly, it is difficult to directly determine their utility with the naked eye.”
Therefore, this second screening will solely evaluate the usability of the runes, and the rest will be passed on to direct combat in the third screening. In addition, in the third screening, evaluation of combat sense and strategy utilization will be conducted….
The association staff explained the screening process as concisely as possible.
He then pointed to the inside of the vast testing room and said.
“Instead, we created an environment as similar to a hunting ground as possible so that Do Jae-hyun holder can freely spread runes.”
There were more than hundreds of ‘scarecrows’ inside the test site.
Of course, it is not just a scarecrow.
These are ‘special golems’ created using all kinds of magic tools and magic stones.
It takes on the role of a monster and can even calculate the approximate amount of damage if it is hit… It was a kind of high-tech magic tool golem.
‘… ‘That’s awesome.’
I heard that the status of rune research academia has risen a lot these days, but I had no idea that technology had developed to this extent.
Even the types are diverse, including single golems that serve as multi-purpose targets, groups of golems that push through volume, and even small golems that fly in the air.
It was a consideration that allowed the holder to choose the direction that was most convenient for him/her and undergo the evaluation.
“Then, the second screening will begin.”
That’s how the second promotion review began.
Among the countless types of golems, I walked towards the ‘golem group’ where many scarecrows were gathered.
And the weapon is slowly drawn out.
It is not the main weapon [True Repentance of Kelbilid], But a multi-purpose small weapon [Claw Short Sword].
‘There is no better rune than this to show its utility.’
With a smile on his face, he holds the small sword tightly in both hands.
I had the runes and skills that would most perfectly carry out the purpose of this review.
