I woke up earlier than usual and headed straight to the training center where I was supposed to meet Lee Myung-jun.
It was still 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, but he was in a hurry to make him wait by any chance.
“eww… … .”
Suddenly, the cold wind that blew in me flinched and made a sound of pain.
It was still chilly because it hadn’t opened properly yet.
As I walked aimlessly down the dark blue road, I pulled my collar.
In the end, I pulled out a can of coffee from the vending machine and rubbed it like a hand warmer.
The training center for freshmen who arrived was quiet.
Even on a weekend, at dawn, everyone will be tired from the advisor’s class in full swing, so that’s good enough.
Thinking like that, it was about time to enter roughly anywhere.
“uh?”
The door to one of the private training centers opened and Han Soo-young, exhausted, walked out.
She also looked at me and was startled and startled, then blinked her eyes.
“It’s a surprise! What, was it you?”
“Hey, I was even more surprised. I.”
Han Soo-young grumbled, “What are you talking about?” and looked at me.
Her bangs were wet, so I glanced at her, and she showed a rare expression of embarrassment.
“What are you looking at me like that?”
“Have you ever been here?”
Without answering my words, Han Soo-young stole her face with a towel wrapped around her neck.
Then he looked at me as if there was a problem and answered.
“Did you know that magicians don’t even do physical training? Simple self-defense skills are a must for anyone in the back ranks.”
That was correct.
Just because he was in the rear, there was no way he was just holding a bow, a staff, a crossbow, and a gun.
At the very least, it was basic to carry something like a simple dagger or a club.
“No, I don’t know that.”
Maybe this guy is going to fall over like this.
Not that it wasn’t, but the dark circles around her eyes were full.
Along with Choi Hyun-woo, ‘a genius who works hard’ is said to be the motif, but I thought this was a bit harsh.
As I looked at him with tired eyes, Han Soo-young pursed her lips in embarrassment.
“Besides, have you never been to the library before?”
“uh? library? Why are you there all of a sudden?”
“You are in the same reading club as me. He said he had never come to see me and asked me once.”
“ah.”
Then I forgot about it.
As I made a blank sound, Han Soo-young sighed.
“Next Monday, you must be on time. and come with me If you don’t come out like this for a few more days, your name will be my name.”
“Oh, yes. Thanks for letting me know. I wasn’t joking, I really forgot.”
“You and her, why are you like this in a place like this… … .”
Han Soo-young murmured a little, and then suddenly trembled slightly.
I reflexively handed the canned coffee in my pocket.
“coffee?”
“It was cold outside.”
After thinking for a while, Han Soo-young was handed the canned coffee I had given her.
she muttered in a low voice.
“… woah.”
“What?”
“No, that. Thank you.”
After shooting like that, Han Soo-young quickly walked away with the words to train hard.
I looked at her back for a moment and headed to the training center where I was supposed to meet Lee Myung-jun.
* * *
“Okay, so what can I do to help you?”
Myung-Jun Lee, who arrived shortly after I arrived, looked not tired at all.
Even though it was early in the morning, he didn’t seem to be bothered at all, but rather, he looked like he was expecting something.
“It’s nothing.”
In order to use the designated fixed acquisition right, the other party’s fixed liking and consent is required.
In order to use this to get congratulations from him, it was said that he had to be told, ‘I agree to teach you the technique.’
‘It is not difficult in itself.’
I looked a little embarrassed.
“Well, there is one thing I would like some advice on. It’s a similar case with Hunter Lee Myung-jun… … .”
“with me?”
“Yes.”
I nodded and mumbled as if catching a floating cloud.
“Should I say that it feels like something like energy is being stored in the body? Normally, you should get out of it, but instead of doing that, it circulates around your body and gathers… … sorry. It’s hard to explain in detail.”
Lee Myung-jun was listening to me with a serious face.
I murmured as if asking him.
“I heard that Hunter Lee Myung-Jun also has lightning in his body. So I was wondering if I could get some advice.”
“Ugh.”
Myung-Jun Lee seemed to ponder for a moment, then raised his right hand.
And as he moved his hand as if clutching something with his palm facing up, immediately there was a loud roaring sound like wild birds, and a lightning bolt that could be seen with the naked eye.
‘I saw that in a cartoon.’
If I stab it like that, wouldn’t it be soft and pierce as it is?
With that thought in mind, he immediately shook off his hand and scattered the lightning.
“Like you said, I have one of those skills and one skill each. It’s about storing things like lightning or energy in your body… … Once you get used to it, you can use it like this. Can you do it?”
“I’ll give it a try.”

Of course, but I couldn’t do it.
When I pretended to be whining, he stopped me saying it was enough.
“Is it because it’s the first time? It will be important to catch a sense first.”
“Yes.”
“Once you get used to it, you can wrap it around your body and use it like armor, or wrap it around a weapon to increase power, and the uses are endless. To put it simply, there is one more magic tank, which is advantageous for long-term battles.”
Lee Myung-jun, who had said that, grinned and slapped me on the shoulder as if to cheer up.
“Stock-type abilities are surprisingly rare. Now that I have come this far, whenever I have time, I will pass on my know-how.”
At Lee’s words, I smiled and opened my mouth as if throwing a joke.
“Thank you for your words. It would have been better if I had the same ability as Hunter Lee Myung-jun. Surely the name is congratulatory, right?”
He laughed at my question.
“right. It’s an intuitive name, isn’t it? If I could teach you, I would have taught you.”
[All conditions for use of ‘Designated Acquisition Right ― Skills’ have been satisfied.]
[Do you want to use ‘Specified Acquisition Ticket ― Arts’? (Grand Prize ― Lee Myung-Jun)]
When the waiting notification popped up, I immediately clicked on use.
Then the notification popped up again.
[Please select the art to be specified.]

8 isn’t crazy.
talent, skill, craft.
Among these three things, the most difficult thing to acquire was none other than art.
Even the playable characters, who can be called fraudulent characters in the original work, had to literally put time and effort into acquiring this level of skill.
It was a moment when I could see how much of a fraudulent character Lee Myung-jun was.
In addition, the fact that he was a person who had to leave because of the circumstances of an adult was too sad to lose to Isabelle Gaudi.
No, if you think about it, there were as many as two Seven Evil Bells involved in his death, so it was worth it.
Putting aside my thoughts, I quickly chose to celebrate.
Then a notification window popped up to confirm one more time, and I clicked OK again.
[Art ― ‘Celebration’ has been acquired!]
[Congratulation (growth)]
[Extra mana, energy, power, etc. flowing inside the body can be stored and stored.
At this time, it changes into various forms depending on the nature of the owner.]
‘done.’
There was no particular feeling or discomfort in his body, but the fact that he had acquired it was an unchanging fact.
“Do you want to continue? The first thing to do is to feel where it is stored inside the body. In my case, I deliberately divided it into several places… … .”
I listened to Lee Myung-jun’s story.
Judging from experience alone, it can be seen that there are few active heroes or hunters who can follow him.
There was nothing wrong with putting it there, as it was originally his technique.
It was a skill acquired by consuming one of the most important acquisition rights.
So, I was so focused that I accepted his guidance.
I knew instinctively that this would definitely come in handy in the future.

In the original ‘Clouds of the Horizon’, many facilities that appear to be secret or hidden are especially located around Seoul.
For example, the general server of Aegis, a fortress system that defends the sky over Seoul, is cleverly hidden in Bukhansan.
And Isabel Gaudi’s dungeon I was going to visit was located in Gwanaksan Mountain.

Of course, many things have changed from the world I used to live in, but at least the fact that it is a place frequented by hikers has not changed.
That’s why I didn’t expect that I would resent myself for thinking vaguely that it would be okay since I’d been there once before.
“Heh heh, heh heh… … .”
I grabbed the branch with one hand and let out a rough breath.
How the hell did I get up?
Everywhere you look, the scenery is the same.
The cries of trees, grass, birds and insects.
sparse sunlight.
And a very rare old sign saying ‘Danger Zone – Rescue immediately or return to safety zone’.
If you couldn’t use the map, you’d be in trouble.
It must have been a restricted area.
Unlike the Gwanaksan Mountain that I was familiar with, most of the areas prohibited the entry of hikers.
It was because of a monster in a wild state, or the remnants of a gate from the past.
Because of this, there were no proper trails, let alone well-maintained hiking trails, so I had to climb through a dense mountain that could not even see an inch ahead.
I was already worried about the way back.
Was it like this in the original?
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t remember.
I looked through the setting book just in case, but seeing that it was recorded properly, it seemed that I was simply forgetting.
Thanks to him, he didn’t get angry with anyone, he just climbed the mountain vigorously.
“Whew… … .”
He sat down on a rough rock and gulped down the bottled water.
Sweat dripped down like rain, and it had been a long time since I had taken off my top coat.
Looking at the map, there is not much left.
I was thinking about taking a little break and moving.
“Kick!”
A startled sound of breath erupts from above.
At the same time, a disgusting odor vomited out with his breath, and fallen leaves and dirt fell on the head of the stormwater.
When I looked up, I saw a green cow struggling in the air.
It was a goblin.
In fact, it was the first time I saw him, but he was a guy I should have watched until I got tired of it.
The bones, which appear to be the thighs of beasts held in their hands, seemed strong enough to crush the skulls of any man.
Most of all, he fell off the tree, aiming for my head, so if I did something wrong, I would have been hurt too.
“Kiek, Kick!”
“It’s fine.”
The guy caught in Henir’s shadow and the branches of the World Tree struggled with strange noises.
The guys with some intelligence barely noticed and ran away, but this guy didn’t seem to notice that much.
“It doesn’t hurt, so stay still.”
“Keek! Keruk, good luck!”
Was it because of the branches of the world tree?
It felt like my senses were sharpened several times in the forest and in the mountains.
So, I could feel it all, whimpering up the tree, aiming for me, and savoring my taste as he looked at me.
His disgusting breath was also felt several times thicker.
“where… … .”
“Keek, Kick! Chick!”
Seeing that he couldn’t even say the right words, he was at a level that was embarrassing to even rate him.
A few of the branches of the World Tree that were entangled in him swayed and dug into his body.
At him, the guy roared, bubbly with a shriek-like scream.
“Baby, pee!”
I stepped back.
Fortunately, it didn’t get on my clothes or my skin.
I was fortunate to remember that it was mentioned several times in the original book that the goblin’s bodily fluid had a particularly foul smell.

Of course, no one wants to pee on a goblin.
“Kreuk… … .”
The goblin couldn’t even let out a proper moan anymore.
In an instant, it turned into a mummy-like figure with only bones and skin left, and a branch of the World Tree came out of his body.
Then, as if there was nothing to see, he hurriedly tossed him.
At the same time, a notification window appeared in front of my eyes.
[The eggplant of the World Tree consumes extremely trace amounts of nutrients.]
[As it is cloudy, low-purity energy accumulates inside the body.]
“Ugh.”
It was so insignificant that he did not even feel that he had recovered.
As if dissatisfied with it, I felt the branches of the World Tree oscillate within my body.
After all, was it wrong to try to use something like a goblin?
The guy who didn’t say anything when he drank mandragora.
There, when I was talking about Cass Lyle, he pretended not to hear me and even ignored me.
Groaning inwardly, I stood up.
“Write… … .”
His appearance just before that was a perfect image to be misunderstood.
It sucks someone’s bodily fluid like a parasitic plant, which is a sight that, frankly, I am reluctant to see as the owner.
In any case, it would be better not to use it in front of others.
Ye-eun Lee, who is an extreme believer in the World Tree, might have fainted if she saw it.
Either he or she wants to kill me for polluting the World Tree.
As I thought about it, I climbed the mountain mechanically.
That was when I wandered around for another thirty minutes or so.
“Whoa.”
I let out a rough breath and relaxed.
A small crypt lay in front of him.
The map floating in the air was telling me that I had finally arrived at my destination.
“It’s hard, huh. I thought I was going to die.”
Isabelle Gaudi’s Dungeon.
Among the numerous dungeons in the original story, the so-called Treasure Warehouse is ranked number one in the strategy.
I was finally able to get there.
