“What? really?”
For some reason, Hyun-woo Choi seemed to be surprised by my words, and Su-young Han narrowly opened his eyes.
Hyeonu Choi asked me after thinking about whether it would be that much of a surprise.
“If it’s okay with you, can I come with you? We too… Well. I haven’t been properly trained in a while.”
“Do whatever you feel like. The training room isn’t mine, it’s your heart.”
Even with my words, which may sound a bit blunt, Choi Hyun-woo still had a nice smile on his face, and Han Soo-young had eyes that couldn’t be understood.
And on the way to the training ground with them, I could vaguely guess what the two of them were.
‘I think it’s because of the abilities I used.’
Although Choi Hyeon-woo is still immature and close to unconsciousness, even in the beginning, he had an ability that was close to extrasensory, and Han Soo-young also possessed a similar skill called ‘extreme of magic’.
That is why I am almost instinctively aware that my abilities, the branches of the World Tree and the shadow of Henir, are not ordinary abilities.
‘Choi Hyun-woo seems to be just half-doubtful, and I think Han Soo-young is particularly interested in my abilities… … .’
It may seem a little overly self-conscious, but was it not about me that she was researching data without sleeping at night?
After thinking this far, I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s best not to use these two abilities openly unless it’s necessary.
‘… Come to think of it, if Lee Ye-eun finds out the branches of the World Tree or the shadow of Henir, it will be quite difficult.’
As soon as I thought of that, a large, sophisticated building like a stadium caught my eye.
It was a training ground for ability that any academy student could use.
It was simply surprising that there were several more of these facilities inside the academy.
“Even on the first day of the entrance ceremony, there are a lot of kids using it.”
Choi Hyun-woo nodded at my murmuring.
“If you stop training for even a day, your body will recognize it. Especially when it comes to prosecutors like me.”
“Well, you know they aren’t wizards, do you? The shooters are like that, and all of them are like that.”
Han Soo-young said to Choi Hyun-woo as if he was bruised.
I looked around and stood in front of the place I thought would be okay.
In a private room, it was also possible to set up readings from the surroundings at my own will.
And I was able to confirm that a light of disappointment passed through Han Soo-young’s eyes for a moment, using a mirror-smooth structure.
“Then how many hours will we meet?”
Choi Hyun-woo shook his head as if pondering for a moment at my question.
“It’s also the first day, so how about two hours later so that you can just relax?”
“Okay then, see you in the break room in two hours.”
With those words, I entered the private training room.
Inside, there were only a few mechanical devices lying around and it was quite empty.
Without embarrassment, I put my palm on the mechanism next to the entrance, as seen in the game.
[Lee Ji-hyeok, 1st year A class. Approved. Do you start training?]
“okay.”
Fortunately, I guess I was right.
As I was relieved, the training assistant AI asked me a few questions.
[As a result of checking, the user does not have any saved basic settings. Please specify a position.]
[Do you want outsiders to see your training results? Or would you like to make it completely private?]
[Please set the training intensity. If you touch the terminal one more time, you can specify detailed settings, and if you skip this process, set the standard settings as a standard.]
“great… … .”
After roughly 10 minutes of setting up, I went to the middle of the training ground and stood there.
Then something like a transparent barrier appeared to isolate the entrance and where the mechanical panel was.
There was also a window frame that is now painted black, and it was probably a tempered glass window that, depending on the setting, allowed outsiders to watch the training.
[Start training.]
[One-on-many battles. close combat. tournament format. Armament and Difficulty Rating H.]
[Start training simulation.]
As soon as the explanation of the machine was finished, a red light flashed around me.
And all of a sudden, mannequins in the shape of deformed adult males were holding weapons around me and breathing like a living person.
“Start training.”
I said so by first pulling out only the branches of the world tree.
Then, a red mannequin standing in front of me ran towards me with a long sword.
I stopped trying to pull out Nidhogg’s fangs for a moment.
‘Let’s use only our abilities this time.’
The other mannequins just stood and looked at them as if they were watching.
‘My skills are still insufficient to make it through the battle.’
The branches of the World Tree were twisted and woven into several stems and then swung.
The mannequin with a sword slashed one branch of the lupus and bent World Tree quite well, while the other one seemed to be leaning towards avoiding it.
“Because I didn’t just wait for today, just blankly.”
The branches of the world tree that had been twisted along with those words spread like a net, piercing various parts of the mannequin’s body.
It was definitely a much faster, agile, agile, and powerful attack compared to a few days ago.
But in my eyes it was still not enough.
‘At least the upper-middle class should be able to overcome it easily.’
Even if there is nothing, if you have two morale skills, Branch of the World Tree and Shadow of Henir, you will be able to get to that level in no time with a little effort.
As such, these two boasted versatility with infinite growth potential.
“Suck!”
Without looking back, I stretched out the branches of the world tree and restrained the mannequin’s body, which was being struck down with an axe.
And with force, it crushed the mannequin’s body almost instantly.
In reality, the mannequin, which would have been in a rather terrible shape, collapsed into powder as it was crushed.
‘As set before, the mannequin’s physical strength was an E-class hero… … .’
It wasn’t bad power.
I swung my arms almost mechanically to steer the branches of the World Tree.
It was after smashing about ten mannequins with no difficulty.
“Okay, pause!”
When I shouted that, a mannequin that was holding a dagger at me and holding it in a low position stopped and returned to its original position.
I put in the branch of the world tree and this time took out the relatively inexperienced shadow of Henir.
“Restart.”
With those words, a mannequin with a sword and a shield ran at him from the opposite side.
Henir’s shadow moved and cut his ankles, and the shadow that had collapsed and fell, turned into thorns and tore apart a lot of mannequins.
After moving so much, he moved a few steps and smashed ten more mannequins without difficulty.
To be honest, in the case of Henir’s shadow, it was mostly because he had a will on his own and made a more correct decision than I did.
‘It’s good, but I’m worried that they might recognize me as the owner.’
There was no such story or setting, but living in such a fantasy-like world made me feel more imaginative.
“Okay then… … .”
Next I decided to put a shadow on my arm and use it to move my body.
A fist wrapped in shadows simply deflected or smashed the weapons, and so was the mannequin.
But my movement was the problem.
“Ahh… … .”
When I was young, I had learned taekwondo and boxing, but it was only a simple lesson to the end.
Since I had never had any experience fighting an opponent who used a weapon, I could fully understand that it was awkward even if I didn’t check my movements separately.
Maybe that’s why, unlike before, when he was facing the fourth mannequin, he allowed an attack on his abdomen.
What the mannequin wielded was a long sword, a blow that would have killed him if it had been real.
‘In close-quarters combat, you have no choice but to try step by step… … .’
With that in mind, I started resetting the mannequins again.
Today I decided to check the general situation regarding my abilities, so I went straight to the other way.
‘This time, let’s use the branches of the world tree and the shadow of Henir at the same time.’
With that in mind, I resumed training again.
* * *
‘Two hours passed faster than I thought.’
When the alarm went off at the set time, I took a light shower in the washroom inside the training room and went out.
It’s a little awkward, but I opened my phone while putting on the clothes I was wearing earlier.
‘It’s been a while, so let’s check the status.’

“Hmm… … .”
Is the (+) next to the stats the stats that are being corrected because of the branches of the world tree and the shadow of Henir?
‘Looking back, it’s really extreme.’
The basic base ability was not good even with empty words.
No talent or craftsmanship yet.
However, since all of the skills he has are legendary, he can easily defeat any opponent.
‘If you meet a really strong or experienced guy, you’ll fall apart.’
For a while, I felt like I had to focus on training.
If you keep going, you’ll probably develop an art or skill related to close combat.
While I was thinking about it, I just checked the status and decided to check other things as well.
‘The quest is… He hasn’t come back since that day.’
After that quest to catch Esmeralda, not a single one came.
Is the quest not given unless it is related to an important event, he or an important person?
There was still insufficient information to make a judgment.
‘Oh.’
I quickly operated my cell phone and entered the character dictionary.
Read At noblemtl.com
On the first day, the dictionary of characters was quite full, with only Lee Myung-jun and Isabelle Gaudi.
And there were some names I wasn’t even aware of.
Anyway, I was able to find the information of the person I wanted from the information.
It was information from a male student who had an argument in the classroom a while ago.
[Nile Jun.
Later, he climbs up to a B-class hero, but growth stops there.
The main weapons are a long sword and a dagger.
The combat method is a method of attracting attention with a dagger and inflicting a critical blow with a long sword.
The successor of the mid-sized company ‘Naseong Group’.
A member of the main character Ahn Do-hoon’s gang and his subordinate.]
‘It’s tied like this again.’
Finding an unexpected name, I put my phone in my arms and muttered a little.
You won’t see a guy named Il-Jun Na, who can’t even remember his name, but the name Ahn Do-Hoon is different.
Anyway, he was also one of the playable characters.
“I wish there was nothing special.”
