Ha-joon cleared his aching body and went back to his seat.
Shortly thereafter, Lee Han also came out of the circle and asked the cadets their opinion on the battle that had just been seen.
“What did you feel from the battle?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
The cadets began to hesitate for a moment at Lee Han’s question.
However, there was a cadet who broke the silence and raised his hand to ask a question.
It was marginal.
He glanced at Ha-jun, then turned his gaze again and asked Instructor Lee Han.
“I have a question.”
“Yeah, what?”
“Did the instructor look at you?”
At that word, everyone’s eyes were focused on Lee Han and Ha-jun, and on the contrary, Lee Han smiled and asked Ha-jun for an explanation.
“What do you think? Ha-Jun Kim.”
“I think you saw it.”
“Why do you think so?”
Well? Why?
However, if I didn’t say this, it seemed that the children would mistake me for a great person. I squeezed my head as much as I could to come up with an excuse, and then I started to get the idea out of my mouth.
“Didn’t the instructor just fight like a hero?”
“What do you mean?”
“If I had fought like a villain, I would have died.”
“okay. That’s a great answer.”
It seems to be an answer I hadn’t thought of.
Soon, Lee Han nodded with a pleasant smile and continued the explanation.
“The only mistake Ha-jun Kim made was that he didn’t finish me. Villains are evil Why do you think the swordsmanship or spearmanship you learned exists at the same time protecting your body?”
“It’s to protect people.”
“You think I asked for such a simple thing?”
Soon, Lee Han’s expression changed and he began to look around the cadets with a ferocious impression.
Soon after, Instructor Lee Han pointed out a cadet.
It was Han Si-young.
“Han Si-young. Answer me.”
“To kill someone.”
It was Lee Han who nodded satisfactorily at Han Si-young’s answer.
He looked around and gave a tip to the young cadets who dreamed of becoming heroes.
“okay. Often, all the skills you have learned have a long tradition, and all of them are just killing arts. If so, shouldn’t it be written according to its meaning? At least now, when you meet a villain, there will be only two things to do. One is to run away and the other is to fight back and kill. So, do not dare to face the villain and take your time. At least if you don’t have the same skills as Kim Ha-jun.”
in a somber atmosphere.
Ha-jun looked at Lee Han with an absurd expression.
‘why not… … .’
The last thing the instructor said was… … It was a useless word.
Actually, because of those troublesome words, the children’s eyes started to turn to me.
“Wow… … Is the chief different?”
“You can tell just by looking at Dalian, he’s a real monster.”
“Hey, maybe that rumor is true? Rumor has it that a cadet killed a fighter with one blow.”
“Honestly, I was skeptical too, but there is a possibility.”
The gossip continued, and at some point, rumors began to appear.
The children looked at Ha-jun as if asking for an answer.
‘Sickness… … really.’
Of course, I didn’t answer.
What are you looking forward to… … Can you honestly tell the truth?
It’s a matter of my peaceful daily life.
To be honest, I didn’t even think that I was going to die in the Villains Alliance at this point.
However, it seemed that there would always be troublesome things in daily life.
In the form of raids or kidnappings, for example.
At that time, Lee Han, who had finished explaining, approached me.
He asked me as he looked at me with a satisfied smile.
“He didn’t look very good in stamina and strength… … Do you have any abilities?”
ability.
This is Loki Academy’s skill term.
In reality, it is called a skill, but in this Loki Academy, it was commonly referred to as an ability.
I nodded at Lee Han’s words.
Rather, it would be strange that he didn’t show such power.
“Yes.”
“is it… … That’s great… … .”
With those words, Lee Han looked at me with eyes full of admiration.
In this game world, the abilities inherent in the body bloom depending on the purity of the magical power or the high level of growth.
In other words, it is the second awakening.
However, it is a very difficult and difficult process that is easy only with words.
Unfortunately, there were many people who did not develop their abilities even after they became adults.
“I wonder what I’ve been doing so far that I’ve never heard of your name… … .”
“More than that, Instructor.”
“Why?”
“Can I go outside? It’s hard on my body.”
“Yeah, I don’t allow it.”
Yes, honestly, if you have a conscience, you should allow it.
It was a battle with the instructor, not anyone else.
Even if the instructor, Lee Han, was defeated, he wouldn’t think that the cadet he faced was okay.
Of course, I was just a little sore, but it’s true that I’m not completely fine.
I just wanted to miss the morning class no matter what.

outsider
The infirmary of the Loki Academy.
The horse is an infirmary, but in terms of size and equipment, it was a hospital room that was comparable to any other university hospital. And I was lying on one of the beds in the hospital room.
‘Afternoon class… … Doesn’t it matter?’
By the way, I didn’t have to listen to the afternoon class, nor did I have to work hard.
Was it a class related to magic control and magic?
In the first place, I did not need to take a class related to magic.
I don’t know the basic subjects, but the subjects can be changed according to the aptitude of the cadets.
“Ehh… … Well then… … .”
I closed my eyes for a moment and fell into deep thought.
Of course, there was a need for a way to stop the coercion.
Penalty issued by the system for rejecting the main quest.
However, since the penalty itself was simple, I felt that I could somehow prevent it.
I don’t know if it’s to control the body itself, isn’t it just forcing it by giving it strong pain?
If so, is there any way to stop the pain?
In an instant, an idea flashed in my mind.
“Look… … ?”
Why didn’t I think of this?
Obviously, there was a Noble Phantasm with the property of negating some pain.
For example, a Noble Phantasm that absorbs the shock itself, or a Noble Phantasm that dissipates the impact.
“for a moment?!”
then… … There was a possibility.
“Dungeon… … .”
The origin where Noble Phantasms are discovered, and a remnant of the chaos of the past.
And by the way, I knew from the game knowledge that the desired Noble Phantasm was sleeping in a Korean dungeon.
The corners of Hajun’s lips began to rise slowly.

The next day, Ha-jun took a nearby train and arrived in Imsil, Jeollabuk-do, in 6 hours.
In real life, the area was famous for cheese, but in the world of the game, it was considered a dungeon.
The dungeon in this room was the most representative ‘Monster Field’ dungeon.
from noblemtl.com
Monster field.
As the name suggests, only monsters appear, and it was a dungeon for general stat growth.
In the game, he often hunted monsters to increase his stats.
However, today’s purpose was of course not to hunt monsters.
‘I don’t know… … Will you be there soon?’
easteregg.
In this dungeon, there were Easter eggs that the developer made for users.
A magical Noble Phantasm that turns all stories into easy mode.
Of course, there was a time stop, so I didn’t feel the need for it, so I forgot it, but now it was the Noble Phantasm I desperately needed.
I wondered why I hadn’t thought of this until now.
“Just write your name here and present your Superman license… … Have you come alone?”
“Yes.”
After arriving at the checkpoint of the dungeon, Ha-jun wrote his name in the guestbook and nodded at the words of the staff.
Soon after, the staff frowned and began to scan Ha-jun.
“Are you here alone?”
“Yes. By the way?”
“Sorry, but due to dungeon rules, single entry is not possible.”
An employee who reveals his annoying tee naked.
It seemed obvious that a young person, roughly of a young age, would not go in alone and cause problems.
Without saying anything, Ha-jun took out his academy cadet ID and showed it to the staff.
The employee who was handed the cadet card started looking at the cadet ID card and Hajun alternately with wide eyes.
“ah… … uh? If you ever go to Loki Academy… … ?”
“Yes.”
“ah! You were such a cadet. I made a mistake. sorry.”
At first, the employee who was giving out annoying tea quickly became thin.
I raised an eyebrow and said to the staff.
“Then can I come in?”
“Oh, is that your first time in a dungeon?”
“Yes. By the way?”
“that is… … sorry. No matter how cadets are, there is a policy that the first entry into the dungeon must be a group of two. … .”
Did you have such a policy?
Anyway, it got a little tricky.
If that happens, there will be problems finding the Noble Phantasm.
‘How about this… … ah!’
I thought there was a way.
I immediately took my phone out of my pocket.
* * *
The method that came to mind was simply to save a person with a mercenary hiring app.
Fortunately, there was a bright mercenary in the neighborhood, so I signed a contract right away.
“Oh my gosh, my name is Cheol-ho Park, who was hired as a mercenary this time. Take good care of me.”
The man with the bare hair and the face of a bandit who came to me 10 minutes later, as soon as he saw me, smiled softly and began to tremble.
Is it because of the pay?
It was a little creepy for an older man than me to do this.
“Yes. Take good care of me.”
“Oh, just leave it to me. I am a 10 year veteran here. Is there any place you are looking for?”
At first, I was going to go in by myself, stop time and look around slowly to find the place where the Noble Phantasm was.
After playing the game, I knew where the Noble Phantasm was located, but the exact location had to be found in a wide dungeon.
Of course, I can’t go in by myself anymore, so I just changed the plan a little more comfortably.
I thought that it would be quicker and more convenient to find someone who knows the dungeon geography without having to find it myself.
“Do you know where there is a V-shaped rock?”
“If it’s a V-ja rock… … ah! You’re talking about there. No need to worry. I know this place well because I’ve been there once.”
“okay? Then we go right away.”
“there… … But is this really the right pay?”
It was Park Cheol-ho, pointing to the compensation written on the request with a slightly suspicious look just before departure.
I smiled at his words and nodded my head.
“Yes, I will give you all the by-products of the monsters caught in the dungeon, so don’t worry and guide me.”
“Oh, ok then. I will take you to a safe and comfortable way.”
It was Park Cheol-ho, who beat his chest with a wide smile.
Soon after, Park Cheol-ho took the lead and headed to the dungeon checkpoint, and Ha-jun followed him.
However, Ha-jun was standing behind him, so he couldn’t see Park Cheol-ho’s expression.
He was smiling secretly.
