NOVEL NEXT chapter 27
27 – 1. Academy (27)
#27
[Successfully subdued the boss [Champion Rodumos].]
[Dungeon Clear]
[After settlement, it will be sent out of the dungeon.]
“Ah”
I was distracted by the sudden system message. The heart, which had been weak but still moving until just now, had completely stopped. I held it with my hand and tried to forcefully pump it, but there was no room for improvement.
I had no choice but to get up from my seat and dismantle it as if throwing a shadow away, and blood splashed all over the place. It can’t be helped that the scent of blood was subtly buried, but if it had been possible to solve that, it would have been rather reluctant because it was so versatile.
After passing through the large amount of system messages that popped up in front of my eyes, I collected and organized them separately.
First, it was the reward for clearing the dungeon.
“Are you sure they gave you an item to get a skill?”
When I opened the device and checked it, it was correct.
If you clear [Gladiator’s Arena] At once without [Stigma of the Loser], You can get a month named As a reward. It says here
If you use it, you can get a skill named [Victory Show], And the effect is that when you defeat an enemy, you can definitely get back 1/3 of the magic and physical strength you used to kill the target.
For reference, if you defeat a champion with [Stigma of the Loser], You can get . If you use this one, you can get a skill called [Fruit of Effort], And the effect can only be activated for 3 hours a day, and it is said that during that time, the efficiency of all skill levels is increased by 200%.
In either case, it is an essential skill for anyone who has graduated from the academy normally, so just having these skills can be treated as a person with excellent grades.
‘Especially [Show off victory] Is an open fraud.’
It seems that a game that was popular in the previous life had a characteristic with a similar effect, but this one fixedly restores 1/3 of the amount used, perhaps because there is no need to think about balance or anything like that.
I wanted to get the [Fruit of Effort] As well, but unfortunately, event-type dungeons are different from quest-type dungeons where you can get rewards over and over again, so once you get a reward, you can’t get it again.
I have no words to give back even if I ask why. God designed it that way, so there’s no way it would change if you told me?
In my personal opinion, I guessed that it was simply to prevent overfishing because the rewards were too deceptive.
Looking at it this way, I wonder if God doesn’t have thoughts like that… No, even so, God is God. No matter what kind of thinking a bastard has, it doesn’t change that he is a bastard after all.
I had something to think about, so I couldn’t help but round my eyes when I checked the window to delay obtaining the reward.
[Hidden conditions achieved!]
[Overwhelmingly subdued the champion and at the same time brought back the forgotten fear.]
[You obtained As a reward.]
“Huh?”
What is it? Is the text different from what I just saw? Are there hidden in event dungeons? No, that’s not the point.
“What, where did the original reward go?”
Because of my fighting style, which consumes a lot of mana, I was expecting to get a [Victory display].
I glared coldly at the message of the system, which dismissed my feelings as vain wishes and simply trampled on them, but the letters did not change.
I can’t say it’s all good just because it’s hidden. What would I do if I got a skill that is completely opposite to my fighting style? You might get a penalty for buying something gloomy from the name. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but I didn’t want to take the risk.
However, if you install this to sell, there will be nothing that will make a boil as much as scratching it. It would feel really f*cked up if not only me but my family were targeted by an assassin because I was taken by strange people for no reason. It is unconditional keep.
“There is no way I can just leave like this…”
He let out a sigh. There is nothing more wasted than dwelling on what has already happened. Having put aside the reward window that I didn’t want to see, I decided to look at my longest status window for the last time and started checking things related to the hives.
First, Hive.
[The level of Has risen.]
[The level of the skill [Group Leadership] Of Has increased.]
[Intelligence has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Violent Violence] Has increased.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
It was a decent growth. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is receiving the most direct help in battle because he reassuringly looks after him. The points obtained by leveling up were invested in intelligence to make it 17.
+
[Name: Hive] [Race: Guild Raven] [Lv: 5]
[Abilities]
[Muscle: 13] [Skill: 23] [Intelligence: 17] [Luck: 13]
[Attribute: Crow Group]
[Possessed Skills]
[Dark Rush Lv 6] [Violent Violence Lv 5] [All Things Lv 3] [Group Leadership Lv 3]
Points available: 0
+
I checked the final status window of Hive and confirmed the change in points. Next up is Graul.
[The level of Has risen.]
[The level of Has risen.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Deep Wound] Has increased.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Blood Recipe] Has increased.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [The Joy of Battle] Has increased.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S [Berzer’s Fighting Method] Has increased.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
There were some things that helped directly with the boss, but it seems that dealing with a huge orc alone was a big deal. The overall skill increased and the level also rose by 2.
Thanks to Carrion, I remembered the importance of intelligence, so I invested 1 point each in skill and intelligence.
+
[Name: Graul] [Race: Berserk Wolf] [Lv: 4]
[Abilities]
[Muscle: 30] [Skill: 22] [Intelligence: 6] [Luck: 2]
[Attribute: Blood]
[Possessed Skills]
[Deep Wound Lv 6] [Blood Lv 4] [The Joy of Battle Lv 3] [Berserker’s Fight Lv 2]
Points available: 0

Like Hive, I confirmed the point change after checking the final status window of Growl.
Next is the long-awaited maknae. It was Kalion who rolled and rolled in this dungeon.
[The level of Has risen.]
[The level of Has risen.]
[The level of Has risen.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Dragon Blood] Has increased.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Dragon Blood] Has increased.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Dragon Blood] Has increased.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Yeokjin] Has risen.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Demi Breath] Has increased.]
[Intelligence has increased by 1.]
[The level of ‘S skill [Demi Breath] Has increased.]
[Intelligence has increased by 1.]
“It’s a waste.”
As active as active, skill and level rose the most, but unfortunately, it did not reach level 10, which is expected to evolve. Even so, once you enter the goblin dungeon, it’s easy. Lastly, you should be able to reach level 10 to see if Kalion’s temper has been corrected.
+
[Name: Carrion] [Type: Sub-Dragon] [Lv: 9]
[Abilities]
[Muscle: 28] [Skill: 4] [Intelligence: 11] [Luck: 1]
[Attribute: None]
[Possessed Skills]

As a pre-planned upbringing policy, all the change points were put into intelligence and the result was confirmed. Compared to the early days, the level of intellect increased significantly, and the chest naturally became magnificent.
“Am I the last one?”
My head ached from the procession of the systems that were lined up already. Gotta see it though
[The summoner’s job level has increased.]
[The summoner’s job level has increased.]
First, the level of the main job is increased. The level went up twice, whether it was because there was a lot of experience accumulated last time or because of my high contribution this time.
[The skill [Shield] Is learned through repeated mastery.]
[Acquires the skill [Throwing] Through repeated mastery.]
[The skill [Parring] Is learned through repeated mastery.]
These are the newly acquired skills. I acquired skills mainly from the ones I mainly used in this battle.
“I know shields and parrying, but throwing?”
Is hitting and flying with a stick counted as [Throwing]? I’m still not sure how far it goes into the throwing range. You might want to spend some time verifying this.
The next step is to level up existing skills. There were a lot of things that were used in this battle, so it was the most.
[The level of the skill [Charisma] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Battle Command] Will increase.]
[Intelligence has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Deconstruction] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Endurance] Increases.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Observation] Increases.]
[Intelligence has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Sadism] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Sadism] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Set Trap] Will increase.]
[Intelligence has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Advisor] Will increase.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Advisor] Will increase.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Advisor] Will increase.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Concentration on Combat] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
“…So damn long”
It was too long, so even though I stopped halfway through, my eyes naturally got stiff at the feast of the system that was lined up like receipts from a day of overconsumption.
Since the number of skills increases, there are disadvantages like this when checking at once. In the meantime, what caught my attention was the level increase rate of [Sadism] And [Torture]. When other things only went up by 1, it went up by 2 or 3 by myself, so the length got longer.
Even this is all of the weapons skills. It would be convenient if the same things were combined in moderation, but God’s negligence in not fixing these things made me think of living on my own.
“Next”
[The level of the skill [Staff] Increases.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Spear] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Sword] Increases.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Sword] Increases.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Blunt weapon] Increases.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Fighting] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Fighting] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Bow] Increases.]
[The skill level has increased by 1.]
[The level of the skill [Shield] Increases.]
[The strength ability has increased by 1.]
It was long. And there were many. As for the last [Shield], The level went up, probably because I used it quite a bit even after acquiring the skill. The change to the skill was all there was.
All the points obtained from raising the summoner’s job level were invested in intelligence. Thanks to the composition of the skill, my skills improved a lot, so I decided to match my intellect. With this, his intelligence, which was 39, became 41.
For now, let’s set both main stats to 50. It was none other than the [Sadism] Effect, which temporarily increased his abilities and at the same time the title he had obtained disappeared as soon as his abilities went down.
I couldn’t even confirm what kind of effect it had, but it just disappeared with a whimper, which made me curious.

Looking at the confirmed final status window, I sighed. It was a sigh of pride, like cleaning the room, which had been delayed, and a sigh of absurdity that I had made it this far.
At the same time I was worried about how much the woman would be able to cope with her confusion about what she had said.
It’s about the main characters getting entangled. The gossip will never survive. I had to come up with a plan by combining the skills of Ban Tae-woong, the help of the heroines, and the fighting power of the personnel in the academy.
“…Is time really a problem?”
The time checked by the device was already past 6:00.
Even if you had a permit, you wouldn’t be able to enter the goblin dungeon even if you went outside now, as school rules prohibit all dungeon activities at 7:00 unless there is a special class.
In addition, the dormitory curfew is until 8 o’clock, so it was impossible to do anything more here, even if I could pass the time with training.
Personal practice is good, but I think that fierce real battles are the only way to learn something, so being alone in the training ground in despair felt like a waste of time.
“…It can’t be helped”
That’s it for today. As if toggling a switch, I slowly let go of my body’s strength, and as a reward for overexerting my body, the tingling muscle pain made me suffer. OK, what else can I do here? I just have to eat my fill and go to sleep.
On the 4th day, that is, the 3rd day according to the original academy rules, the class competition will be held.
Unlike Class S, which has only one class, Class A has two classes and Class B has three classes. This is an appropriately divided result because the number of students increases as you go down.
The fact that the number of professors increases as you go down has a great influence.
If you check the ranking page, it seems that a significant number of students have already been expelled, and the number of about 7,800 has decreased to 6,900. In just three days, what the hell happened, and close to 1,000 people were reduced.
Of course, it could have been that there were dropouts among the second and third years besides the first year, but even considering that, it was an absurd figure.
I’d rather skip it from the beginning. If this is the case, why did you send so many in?
I couldn’t understand why his doctrine was such a complicated process that took over a week.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m the kind of person who only cares about efficiency, but I didn’t want to lie about something irrational and give it a chance.
What is called to be called is different at the cotyledon stage. Even if it is hidden. So it felt like it was not the same to spend my emotions on useless things like this, and to roll my head.
No matter what I did, it was just me. Damn, the f*cking academy. A gathering place full of troublesome work that I wouldn’t have seen if it wasn’t for the main character.
Anyway, this is a place where there are only problems with problems.
Since the bastards, who haven’t even had blood on their heads yet, say that they are geniuses, they have gathered here without knowing that the sky is high. Bastards who live in the best taste get together and quarrel, but there are no incidents and hold on?
From my point of view, only horses are actually different from the academy’s screening center.
I filter out the f*ckin’ bastards in advance, collect the ambiguous ones, and indoctrinate only those who stray in moderation, and then use them as great workers. In the meantime, if you publicize the great cubs for propaganda, leave the world, you and I are very good and send new personnel to the screening center.
It was a circulation structure that could be said to be infinite power.
It was possible because all of this yielded that much result. If I were raising my children, I would never send them to such a crazy place.
Of course, if that child wants to go to hell with his feet, I am willing to help.
As a parent, I have an idea to make it at least to the extent that I don’t hear the news that he died somewhere in the fire of hell.
In the first place, even that is a future created under the assumption that I will get married.
Unfortunately, in a world where taking care of yourself is daunting, the probability of living while courting others for the rest of your life is extremely low. If it wasn’t a decent person, I would fall first because of my damn personality.
Ah, is that why the kids with screws in their heads get tangled up? Shaking my hair roughly, I let out a sigh. What the hell are you thinking here It’s all because I’m hungry and my nerves are sharp.
Let’s eat quickly and go to sleep.
“Clear”
[Reward will be paid.]
With a system message, a black notebook was held in my hand. Blinking my eyes, the air that had been filled with only fishiness changed in an instant. The sky was already turning pitch-black as the sunset was not over.
I put the notebook in my hand into Mai’s inner pocket and canceled the summoning of the hives.
“…Should we eat out?”
I wanted to eat something cool for the first time in a long time, probably because my stomach was complicated.
At the academy cafeteria, only lunch is freely selected, and dinner is prepared with the menu changing every day like a buffet, so I am not sure that there will be what I want.
If you go to a meat restaurant, wouldn’t they sell naengmyeon? There is still time before curfew. I took out my device and started searching for a nearby meat shop.
Even though it was an hour, there were a lot of people around the corridor. Perhaps they challenged the dungeon until the time limit and are now preparing to return.
After school dungeon activities are only possible after the welcome party for freshmen, which means that all the students here are in their second and third years.
If there were an exception, it would be about 5 students with excellent grades selected through the welcome party for freshmen that decorates the end of the week that Hong Soo-ah explained in advance.
If you apply for a party, you can enter the dungeon with up to 6 people, including that one person, so I think that 5 people with excellent grades will become hot potatoes with a high probability because of those who approach for that trick.
After all, the surest and fastest way to become stronger is to hunt enemies in dungeons.
Others can enter the dungeon only if they focus on training for 3 weeks. In this world, 3 weeks is the time to push away the high mountain and build a high-rise building there, so unless you are an idiot, you will do your best to enter the dungeon.
In the first place, I’m also going to dungeons like this to bridge the gap.
Took
“Evil!”
“?”
As I was passing through the hallway avoiding people, someone hit me on the shoulder. It didn’t even hit hard, but I made a loud sound on purpose to draw attention to the people around me.
It’s not particularly crowded, but I was wondering if there was anything I could pass by like this, so I looked up and my eyes met with a man I hadn’t seen before.
Even though he was expressionless, he seemed to be grinning strangely, giving him a strangely bad impression. Seeing that the tie is red, it looks like he’s in the second grade, but he has nothing to do.
Kiduk, kiduk
I even heard the sound of ridicule from the other side, so I had no choice but to know even if I didn’t like it.
Is this a fight? When I slightly moved my gaze towards the sound of ridicule, I saw two sophomores who were also whispering something together. Ugh, isn’t it disgusting to whisper to each other among the boys?
“Are there any words of apology for freshman bumping into seniors these days?”
I raised my head at the words of the man who opened his mouth as if to steal my attention. Judging by the sword on his waist, he seemed to be a swordsman, but he was the same height as me. The muscles visible through the clothes didn’t look that great either.
The general opinion is that this kind of thing lives on rice with knives? That’s about it. It was so lame that even I, who had not professionally learned swordsmanship, could be sure that I could defeat it without the help of a summoner.
Seeing this person, I had no choice but to get a rough idea. I must have raised my eyes too high after getting involved with such monsters. Well, because this bastard is open, 1,000 people disappear in less than a week.
“…What? What are those eyes?”
As I looked at him without replying and without avoiding my gaze, the guy with a wrinkled brow took a step toward me, as if he didn’t like it.
Because he has a hardened face, he seems to think that anything can happen if he stays like that, but this world is no different from the world. In a word, it means that you should not judge an opponent based only on their appearance.
In that respect, unlike the face value of the man in front of me, he seemed to have no substance whatsoever. He is an extra among extras who will end his life after being hit around D rank if he hits well, and E rank if he is normal.
As expected, the academy is a problem. That bastard’s Gwangilgyo’s first claim for equality must be put away with perseverance in order for this kind of trash to disappear.
No, it’s just that this world is crazy. The reason why a guy like that can openly sway is because there is a trump card that is guaranteed under the mystery of the status window.
Believe in that, and on the outside, through their own elite, they still bite and suck, so it’s not like they’re arrogant.
Since these bastards are still alive, a sh*tty atmosphere is formed, and the dark bastards are used in favor of them. A bastard who doesn’t help at all. The son of a b*tch in front of me became even more annoyed.
“Wow, are you going to hit me?”
Aren’t you showing off to ask for a blow? It seemed like he was showing off to beg me to hit him by putting his face in my direction openly.
“…Ha”
Involuntarily, I let out a sigh. Then his expression began to stiffen, and at the same time he felt his fist clenched.
Gulp
In fact, I wondered if I was really hitting me, or if I was nervous, I even swallowed my saliva. The corners of his mouth were twitching so slightly that it was hard to notice if he wasn’t paying attention.
Thanks to my improved skill and skill [Observation], I came to know naturally even if I didn’t want to know.
It was a typical throwaway card. It’s a typical character that is perfect for writing and discarding. Most of the guys I used to teach Ban Tae-woong the bitterness of the world were these guys.
‘Looks like it.’
Being involved with a guy like this seemed like a drop in my level. If you’re scared in the first place, why are you arguing? Could there be a disease similar to anger dysregulation?
Someone is doing his best to prepare for the danger that may come in the future, but the easy-going kid is not satisfied with his own food bowl and is looking at other people’s things.
I was just tired. I wanted to break the head of a young boy who didn’t know the subject, but it was annoying to turn on the switch I had just turned off.
Above all, Hyunta came to me in the present situation itself, where we are having a fight with these bastards.
As my eyes sank, the man’s eyes began to glow faintly with nervousness. It seems that he is starting to get anxious because things are not going the way he thought.
…Yes, I’m the only one who loses if I get the heat on my head against the minnows.
“What, what can I say…”
I stuttered and chewed the words of the man who was talking in front of me and moved on. Even the two men who were watching the liver joined in from behind, and they were arguing that they were scared or that they were rude, but they completely ignored it.
What the f*ck is this?
