There are several ways to acquire skills from ‘Cloud of the Horizon’.
The first is to acquire skills by acquiring tools or objects, such as when you acquire a branch of the world tree, or by meeting certain conditions, such as Henir’s shadow, as an opportunity.
However, the first two cases were rare cases, and most people learn through known methods, receive instruction from someone through objects such as skillbooks as a medium, or through repeated training and training. It could be said that most of the cases were obtained naturally.
And here at the academy, students were encouraged to acquire such skills, and a way to obtain them was prepared.
But if there’s a problem… … .
“It’s just useless things.”

Of course, the skill books provided in the common learning room that all students can use were all low-grade ones.
I looked through them in turn, just in case.
[Eye of the hawk – Strengthens eyesight for a certain period of time. Temporarily increases the visual acuity of the body.]
[Static Electricity ― Can cause a weak current to flow through tools or equipment. Its power is so weak that it can only work on small-sized opponents.]
[Quick footwork ― You can move quickly in an instant. You cannot use skills consecutively.]
“It’s a spectacle, a spectacle… … .”
As I said, in reality, even these are hard to find outside.
If it is a high-ranking skill book, the number of times it can be used is limited, so it is difficult to access it unless you are from a famous clan or aristocratic family somewhere.
Even though I already knew everything, I couldn’t hide my disappointment.
However, it was a disappointment that I had to sell my feet anyway.
When I play Clouds of Horizon, I often get more useless skills than the ones I’ve glanced at now, but that was a factor that made playing Clouds of Horizon even more fun.
Because it was possible to mix and combine skills, so-called skill enhancement.
‘Of course, the two legendary skills can’t be strengthened or combined, and there’s no need to… … .’
Low-ranking skills that can be used almost unlimitedly are spread out in front of them, so there was no need to worry about materials.
The only problem was that the skill combination I remember was quite vague.
No matter how many times I played the game, there was no way I could remember all the recipes for mixing dozens of skills.
Above all, I couldn’t use the shortcut of recalling the save data if I failed like in the game, so the burden was increased.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have memorized it in detail.’
The skill obtained through reinforcement was a function only allowed to the player.
And just in case, I was rummaging through my phone and found a window that said [Skill Enhancement], and headed straight for it.
‘The most useful technique in my current situation is… … .’
At least six.
Wasn’t it seven?
Anyway, one skill that comes out only by mixing and combining that number of skills came to mind clearly.
Fortunately, he remembered more than half of the skills used for materials.
The other half said that they had to hit it with a rough sense.
But it didn’t matter.
‘Because there are a lot of materials, there is enough time anyway.’
With that in mind, I slowly started picking out the skillbooks.

“Finally succeeded… … .”
I was overcome with a sense of relief and achievement, and without realizing it, I sighed and exhaled, muttering to myself.
I wondered if it would take that long because it was only two hours later that I was able to succeed, not only during lunch time, but after all the classes of the day were over.
An indescribable sense of lethargy enveloped his body, perhaps because it was the first time he had used his tenacity and brain when he came to this world.
Still, I grinned and fiddled with the screen of my phone.
Hunting Mark (Combination / Rare)
― Each successful attack leaves a mark on the opponent’s body.
― The density of the mark changes according to the number of attacks and the power.
― The effect can be activated when more than a certain number of marks are accumulated.
― If you do not attack for a certain period of time after applying a mark, all marks will disappear.
[Effect][Active]
― Gives the opponent an effect according to the nature of your magical power.
― In this case, all marks accumulated so far are removed.
― Depending on the density of the mark, additional shocks can be applied to the opponent.
― In this case, all marks accumulated so far are removed.
― By removing the marker, you can check the approximate location of the opponent in a very short time.
“… great.”
If you do this, you can use it as a mainstay.
Above all, it was especially true in that it was compatible with the fangs of the Nidhogg I had.
Nidhogg’s Fang (bind/legendary)
A dagger forged with the teeth of the mythical monster, Nidhogg.
Although it has no blade and only the tip of a sword, the danger of this will be flagged by anyone who knows its true value.
It is also extremely sharp, so it can easily pierce even dwarf forged armor.
The poisonous fangs that dried up and made the World Tree sick will be an effective means of attack against spirits and mortals.
― Greatly increases the owner’s resistance to poison.
― You can also attack invisible beings, such as spirits, fluids, and spirits.
― There is a high chance of being poisoned by poison when stabbed by this dagger.
― The owner will have absolute resistance to the poison of this dagger.
― Can be hidden in the owner’s body.
‘It could be used as a way to add additional attacks or additional effects to the poisoned opponent.’

Of course, there was a condition that the opponent had to be stabbed with Nidhogg’s fangs, but as Choi Hyun-woo said before, if he uses Gazi or Henir’s shadow of the World Tree to wield it abruptly, he will succeed in the attack nine times out of ten.
‘The hard work is worth it.’
With that in mind, I stood up.

Of course, there were skills that were much more powerful than the ‘Mark of the Hunter’ obtained now, but unfortunately, I couldn’t remember how to combine them at all.
Moreover, even if it was miraculously created, it was questionable whether the compatibility would be as good as this.
‘Well, you should be satisfied with this level.’
There was nothing left to do right now.
To put it bluntly, there are things like finding a useful dagger that can be taken out in front of others, or having a relationship with important characters in the original story… … .
‘It’s not all right.’
There was nothing I could do right now.
From now on, for a while, I felt like I had to act a little more slowly and calmly.
‘Oh yeah.’
Then, a word suddenly crossed my mind.
money.
I needed money.
Instead of receiving tuition, students attending the academy are given a certain amount of money every month as a maintenance fee.
And the amount was not about the cost of maintaining the dignity, but it was enough to be used for living expenses if you save a little bit.
In addition, there are also opportunities to earn more money by receiving additional allowances for training and the like in the future.
It was not for nothing that people without money struggled to become heroes, or even academy students.
The problem was that I knew very well that even if I could make money that way, it wouldn’t be enough.
‘… What is it?’
Simply put, there are plenty of things that require money, such as expenses that will be required for future actions, money to purchase various items, and episodes that can only be progressed with huge sums of money.
But the problem was that I didn’t have a single penny.
From now on, it was clear that even if I continued to save and save money, it would end in the blood of new feet.
‘It would be enough to sell Mandragora… … .’
Mandragora is a legendary herb in this world, so it must have been the price to call it.
However, in other words, it was said that just because there is money to make it, it is not something that can be purchased.
So I didn’t want to sell it if possible.
Mandragora was the one who could create something comparable to an elixir even if he had basic alchemy or pharmaceutical skills.
‘Wait, that’s weird, isn’t it?’
It was said that Mandragora, which was used to kill Lee Myung-jun, was a failure, and soon after killing Lee Myung-jun, it all dried up and twisted to death.
So, even though the greatest hero in the top ten has died, the association is engrossed in the mandragora collected from the field and fights back and forth, and in the end, nothing is saved.
‘Crazy, how did I forget this?’
A withered mandragora loses all its benefits and becomes nothing but ordinary grass roots.
Why couldn’t I remember this then?
“No, wait… … .”
But is the mandragora in my room still alive and well?
Anyone can tell whether mandragora has withered or not.
When the pinkish fruit-like thing hanging from the tip of the root loses its color and turns black, it means that the mandragora has withered.
And that guy’s fruit in my room was so pink that it turned red.
Sometimes, for some reason, when I entered the room, it felt like a part with a human face was staring at me.
‘no.’
Let’s think about that issue later.
‘Then what to do… … .’
The easiest way to make money from the clouds on the horizon is to catch high-risk, so-called high-ranking monsters and sell their by-products.
Alternatively, there is another way to do a quest with a high order rank, or to get all kinds of treasures or relics hidden in hidden dungeons or untapped ruins and put them up for auction.
‘But the problem is that all of them are far from me.’
Nidhogra did catch a dangerous monster, but it was only possible because of various special circumstances.
High-ranking monsters were too heavy in their abilities to go hunting at my level now.
If you make a mistake, it might become a place for them to have a meal.
However, there was no way that a freshman in the academy could receive only high-ranked quests, and even if they claim to obtain treasures and relics hidden in hidden dungeons or untapped ruins, rather than putting them up for auction, I had to use them right away.
‘stock… ?’
But I immediately shook my head.
Even if he came to this world with a stock he had never touched in the original world, he couldn’t do well.
There was not enough capital to roll in the stock itself, and above all, there were too many things I was concerned about to even pay attention to the stock.
Also, although some famous companies appeared in ‘Cloud of the Horizon’, there was almost no information related to them because the stocks were not implemented.
‘It’s kind of like the fact that more and more worries are increasing.’
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t figure it out.
I sighed.
“Hungry.”
When it came out of my mouth, the feeling of hunger got worse.
First of all, it’s late today and there’s a lot of work to do, so let’s just fill our hunger and get a good night’s sleep in the dormitory.
With that in mind, I headed out to the already darkened street.

“On the surface, nothing seems to have changed.”
A man muttered as if he missed him in front of the Academy’s front door.
In the original case, strict preliminary investigation and verification were required for an outsider to enter the academy, but this man was an exception.
It was also a testament to the fact that the academy’s guards, who had already noticed his unusual appearance, were ready to open their doors sooner or later.
The left eyelid, where the hollow is visible, and the eye patch covering it.
Conversely, the golden eyes that sparkled excessively and were torn straight like snakes.
And a trident with a hidden blade hanging from the back.
He was Lee Myung-jun.
“It’s been a really long time. Academy.”
He murmured and slowly walked into the academy.
