As I sat down, Myung-Jun Lee looked at me with more calm eyes than before.
“Are we spherical?”
“I do not know. I’ve seen it a lot on TV and on the internet, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.”
“okay?”
For some reason, I had a foreboding that if I affirmed it here, it would be quite annoying.
So, as if I didn’t know, Lee Myung-jun nodded his head slightly as if embarrassed.

Obviously he had no intention of doing that, but it was as if he was staring at me because he had such a ferocious impression.
“Then, from now on, I’m just talking to myself, won’t you listen to me a little bit? I thought it wouldn’t matter if I was a little more embarrassed because I had misunderstood.”
“Yeah, what… … .”
Before I could answer, Lee Myung-jun took out a necklace from his neck and showed it to me.
I knew what that was.

Originally, it was an item that would have been in Isabelle Gaudi’s dungeon, but it seemed that he did not die and was still his property.
“This is the necklace I got from catching a Banshee in the past. If you hold it and infuse it with magical energy, you can dispel many magical evils. I haven’t tried it, but they say it can stop Banshee’s screams.”
Looking at the silver necklace that looked like a piece of bone connected roughly, I was able to vaguely remember what that necklace was about.
‘It was a banshee necklace, obviously.’
I can’t remember the details, but it was about increasing the magic resistance, and also giving me complete immunity to the Banshee’s Scream.
There are very few things that can be instantly killed by clouds on the horizon, but without resistance, no matter how strong they are, they often die instantly.
And the most representative were Banshee’s Scream and Mandragora’s Howl.
“Has it been a month or so? I was fighting a villain and at the very least, something big was about to happen. I can’t deny that even though I’ve always vowed not to be vigilant, I’ve been wearing this so I’m not sure if I’m loose enough to defend myself.”
“I don’t know what it is, but I’m glad that it seems to have worked out.”
“Yeah, it was nice. Maybe because I couldn’t do anything and I almost died.”
As he said that, he looked at me as if he already knew everything.
“Mandragora, who would have known that you have so many roots of medicinal herbs from that legend?”
“Aha… … .”
“Besides, in such a situation, it would be unbelievable for other people to hear that there was someone warning them about Mandragora’s existence.”
Lee Myung-jun took a deep breath as he said that.
It was only then that I realized that he was already convinced.
“I don’t know who it is, but I just wanted to say that I’m really grateful if we meet again.”
“… … .”
I knew very well why he was doing this.
As I said before, there may have been some who saved him from the danger of death, but Lee Myung-jun lost his best friend to Isabelle Gaudi, a witch and necromancer.
And if it were, he would have been in the same situation as he was searching for her in order to put his friend at ease.
“I wish I could meet you.”
“That’s right.”
Lee Myung-jun said so and scratched the back of his head.
Then he looked at the wall clock as if he was constantly embarrassed.
“Oh my gosh, time is running out. I’m sorry, I’m not very talkative… .”
“Then is it okay if I go now?”
“Oh, of course. I’m sorry I held you for so long.”
He got up from his seat and opened the door and smiled kindly at me.
I smiled awkwardly and tried to get out of the place.
As always, I was terrified of people approaching me with such favors.
Choi Hyun-woo felt uncomfortable in that sense as well.

On the contrary, it was more comfortable to deal with Han Soo-young, who behaves somewhat computationally.
Anyway, I just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, despite the kindness I deserved.
Just before I went out through the open door, Lee Myung-jun’s arm stretched out as if blocking my way.
Looking for something, I found in his hand the banshee necklace he had shown me earlier.
“This… ?”
“Will you not take over?”
“Yes?”
Saying that, Lee Myung-jun semi-forcibly handed it over to me.
“If you ever see that person later, you tell them. And if possible, I’d like to tell you this. I am really grateful for your help at that time, and if you need my help, I will help you anytime.”

‘I forgot, I thought I would get it this way.’
I fiddled with the necklace around my neck.
The clunky necklace was so crude that I couldn’t even say anything that made viewers think I had a peculiar taste.
However, knowing the effect of this necklace, I was able to tolerate that kind of gaze.
Banshee’s Necklace (Rare)
Banshees are originally known as guardian elves, but not all banshees are like that.
Some banshee are hostile to humans, demonstrating hostility to all that come upon them.
But they all have one thing in common: weeping over someone’s death, shrieking to pieces, or howling with clap hands, and flying through the night sky with the sounds of bats.
Also, we must not forget that there is also the fact that those who hear their screams invariably become the objects of their mourning and mourning on the spot.
Forged from their essence and tears shed, this necklace will guide them from their mourning death.
― Greatly increases the instant death resistance to the owner’s ‘banshee’s cry’.
― Resistance to magical status ailments is increased.
― The weak spirit’s protection permeates the owner.
(Limited to once a day/selection)
― When magic is injected, resistance to all ‘instant death’ increases.
― When magic is injected, most of the status ailments applied to the owner are removed.
― If you infuse magic power, it weakens a singular opponent that is hostile to the owner.
When I checked the information again with my cell phone, I was able to confirm that there were some additional effects that I did not know about.
However, he was well aware that Banshee’s necklace itself was such a valuable magic tool that those who knew it because few people had it.

Originally, I didn’t want to attract other people’s attention for a while, but Lee’s will was so stubborn that I couldn’t break it.
And to be honest, the Banshee’s necklace was one of the almost essential things to get, so I pretended I couldn’t win and took the necklace from him.
When I returned to take on the banshee necklace, Choi Hyun-woo and Han Soo-young, who had already changed into Dalian clothes, were waiting for me.
He changed clothes in a hurry and ran like crazy, so he managed to arrive at the Dalian Room on time.
‘It’s an outdoor class from the 1st period… Maybe that’s it.’
As I was holding my breath, I had a rough idea of what class this time was going to be.
In fact, if it was the first class in the training room at Orge Academy, it was nothing more than this.
‘Advisor-selected class.’
In Clouds on the Horizon, most of the characters, including playable characters, are divided into seven categories.
Vanguard.
Night.
guard.
sniper.
Caster.
supporter.
and specialists.
Vanguard, Knight, and Guard.
These three occupational groups are responsible for the front row.
And the sniper, caster and supporter sit in the back row.
Finally, a specialist, not classified in any of the preceding six categories, was defined as a person with an unusual occupation or role.
In a good way, it’s a Joker-like role, but in a bad way, it’s a perfect role to be in the middle.
‘The vanguard takes on the role of the spearhead, the knight is the core of the attack, and the guard guards the back row… In addition… … .’
In fact, it is mentioned several times in the setting book as well as in the game that this role itself is classified as easy to understand to some extent.
In fact, even if the story progresses a little, this classification becomes meaningless.
‘But the academy taught me to specialize in one first.’
It was the policy of Orge Academy to first discover and refine one’s specialization, and then develop one’s own skills by focusing on it.
That is why we select classes by our advisors so that we can provide more effective and in-depth education.
The students who had been shouting for a moment became quiet in an instant.
When I turned my gaze, a middle-aged professor was standing on top of the church with an elegant gait.
“Good morning, gentlemen. Did you have a healthy breakfast?”
“Yes!”
He smiled as if satisfied with the loud reply.
Then he looked around us with a stern expression in an instant.
“Today is probably the first practical class for all of you to come to Orge Academy. Yesterday there was only a brief explanation and assignment of main armaments here at the academy, so in reality, this class can be called the first class.”
His voice was still and quiet, but it was accurately transmitted to all of the nearly 100 students.
There must have been some kind of method of joining mana and ki, but it was not known in detail what kind of method it was.
That’s because the game never mentions such a skill in detail.
“The reason this class is the first class is that this class is considered the most important here at Orge Academy. So, I hope you guys keep that fact in mind and at least take this class as seriously as possible.”
He said so and lightly fiddled with his mustache.
“If not, it will be a great loss to themselves, and this will also be a problem for the soldiers themselves.”
At his direct warning, some students could feel a change in their posture.
And the middle-aged professor couldn’t stop smiling, probably because he liked that quick-witted look.
“Some of you may have predicted what class you will be having today, from the command to return to the dalian uniform and bring the training weapon distributed by the academy.”
After a moment’s pause, he looked around the students once more.
“Today is a class for selecting advisors who will be in charge of the actual battles of you, future heroes. Even if you put on a safety device on your weapon, it can lead to a serious accident if you go too far.
And he shouted in a voice that was louder than before.
“From now on, those who have chosen the main armament suitable for the vanguard, gather to the right of my standards, and those who belong to the rear rank to the left!”
At his words, the students moved wildly, and although they looked alike, there seemed to be slightly more people who chose the avant-garde.
“There are a total of 12 small dinning halls in this dinning room. 6 of them are used. If you move in front of it, the names of the people who will enter the dungeon will appear on the electronic display. If there are any errors, do not hesitate to tell us right away! And the students in the back will do a more detailed classification, so wait!”
At his words, the group of students, including me, moved to where he said he was.
Then, several professors were sitting and looking at us in the grandstand where you could see the place where each dinning center was located.
‘Oh, I remember.’
Here, each of them competes against each other, and by synthesizing the observed data and the opinions of the professors, some candidates for the professor who will lead the student are selected.
In fact, even in-game, the width of the advisor was different depending on what score he got in this Dalian.
‘… Who are you going to hang out with?’
I know how to use a dagger, but to be honest, I was nothing short of an amateur.
Fortunately, my actual abilities are stronger than the physical abilities known here at the academy.
When you engage in a match, the overall stats about your opponent will appear, so you can know the strength of your opponent.
‘Honestly, I think it would be okay if it wasn’t for Choi Hyun-woo or other playable characters… … .’
“uh. Ji-hyuk. Your name has come out.”
At the words of Hyun-woo Choi, who was standing next to me, I looked at the billboard.
“Tt… … .”
Unlike me, whose tongue was clogged with annoyance and annoyance, I felt someone smiling at me.
[Yoo Ji-hyuk (RANK E) VS Na Il-jun (RANK C)]
It was clearly stated on the billboard.
