I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.12 Academy Monster Hunt (4)

In this world, the measure of strength is determined by runes.

It doesn’t just apply to the holder.

monster.

Starting with F-class monsters that can be captured by ordinary people with a gun.

E-A-class monsters hunted the most by holders.

An S-class monster that only a few can hunt, or.

Even monsters of higher ranks than those considered to be legends.

All powerful monsters have their own runes.

A typical example is the Epic Rune possessed by the B-class monster Centaur.

[Relentless Charge].

A special rune capable of ignoring all physical attacks that do not contain magical power when charging, and striking the opponent with nearly double the strength value.

Considering that all centaurs exert this effect when charging and show a certain pattern when used.

It was a research result that made it clear that ‘even monsters possess runes’.

Similarly, a B-class monster, the Sizzling Salamander.

It was natural that he also had runes.

First of all, because there were quite a few abilities that dealt with fire and, in addition, strengthened the physical requirements.

However, it is said that I can duplicate his runes with my [Rune Hunter].

Because even the fierce battle with him was recognized as a ‘duel’.

“What nonsense is this… .”

I stared blankly at the information window.

Still, the golden information window was flashing and shining as if to encourage a choice.

In other words, whenever you hunt a monster.

It means you can have the runes they own.

Then there was no need to fight by choosing an opponent from among the holders.

After all, if you hunt only monsters, you will get runes.

“It’s a real dog-eater… .”

Of course, not all monsters have runes.

Monsters with runes appear at a moderately high level, and even useable runes can be obtained by hunting a higher level.

Sizzling Salamander.

This guy was a B-class monster belonging to a fairly strong axis among other monsters, and because of that, he had 3 runes.

It was unintentional luck and an opportunity that does not come easily.

‘What is better to choose?’

A total of 3 runes.

[Scorching Flame], [Fighting Fours], [Lizard’s Scale].

Among them, [Fight of the Four Quarters] is the only exception.

This was the reason for the martial arts that he used to drive me wildly based on his enormous strength.

A rune that allows even a quadrupedal monster to be aided in martial arts.

However, as a holder, it was a useless rune.

I’m a bipedal human, so there’s no point in having it.

In the first place, the [Fighting] rune already exists.

‘Then it’s one of the two… .’

[Smoldering Flame] and [Lizard’s Scale].

After much deliberation, I finally decided on the latter.

The reason is simpler than you think.

[Smoldering Flame] is similar to a kind of fire-type magic rune that is aided to handle fire.

And you can get any number of such runes in the future.

It can be obtained by dueling with a mage-type holder who deals with fire magic, or by hunting monsters that handle fire with special abilities.

Fire is the most common element in magic, and there are many opportunities to get it.

On the other hand, [Lizard’s Scale] is a rune that can only be obtained from lizard-type monsters.

Even then, this guy is a B-class monster, so it has runes, and the other lizard monsters may not have the runes themselves.

So my choice was the last rune.

[You have chosen lizard scales. Since it is a rare rune of level 11, the level has dropped, and it is registered as level 6.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Acquires 6 Durability with rune inclination.]

＜Rune Information＞

◎Name: Lizard scales

◎Class: Rare

◎Level: 6

◎Engraved part: back

◎Derived Skills

[get hard]

◎Details

＜Skill Information＞

◎Name: to become hard

◎Derived Rune: Lizard Scale

◎Waiting time: 1 hour

◎Effect

: Doubles the durability value for 5 seconds and becomes harder. Also, while hardening, resistance to all elemental attacks is increased by 10. At the end of 5 seconds, hardening is canceled.

“I’m trying to get stronger… .”

I am amazed at the amazing level of skill naming sense.

It must be a skill name created by the original author, right?

Still, compared to the garbage-like name, the effect was enormous.

By strengthening the durability for 5 seconds, you can prepare for a fatal blow, and you can respond to magic by momentarily raising elemental resistance.

The waiting time is a little long, but with this kind of effect, it’s rather short.

‘Runes are pretty good too.’

A rune from which the previous skill was derived.

[Lizard scales].

This rune, which I chose after much deliberation, was also very satisfactory.

If there is one ability that I need the most these days, it is ‘durability’.

Compared to other combat abilities, the durability was quite low, and this was a car that had a lot of trouble because there was no way to grow it with other training.

At that moment, a rune that boosts durability just appears, and I love it.

It’s even a fairly high-level rune, so the increase is 6.

Thanks to this, my endurance was 14, just like my maximum strength, strength.

‘Level drop… It seems different depending on the rune level.’

I also got new information.

The level drop indicated in [Rune Hunter] seemed to vary depending on the level of the rune.

11th to 6th level.

When I got other runes, they were all level 1 runes.

Because of that, I was immediately registered as level 0, so I didn’t know…

When you acquire a high-level rune, the drop is quite large.

There seemed to be some conscience in the effect of [Rune Hunter], the greatest fraud rune of all time.

“Do Jae-hyun holder. Are you okay?”

While getting a new rune and bursting with laughter.

A professor from the noisy crowd walked up to me.

At first glance, he seemed to be a professor teaching the divine series.

I said, showing my tanned and bruised body.

“no… As you can see, it’s a mess. May I ask for some treatment?”

“Speak of course. lie down in your seat. I will start treatment right away.”

“thank you.”

The main event in the early part is the appearance of a monster inside the academy.

The direction was a little different, but…

Somehow, the case could be settled.

* * *

A B-class monster appeared in the Academy.

This became a big topic not only in the academy, but also in Korea.

There have been times when monsters have appeared in the city center or among people, but B-class monsters are high-ranking monsters that rarely appear.

The academy in particular is more unusual.

It was almost impossible for them to break through the gaps and appear in the academy, regardless of whether they were B-class or any monster.

“Isn’t this the first time a B-class monster has appeared in the Academy?”

“Of course. The academy has a barrier. A magical barrier to prevent monsters.”

At Seoul Holder Academy, there are many high-ranking holders who have a knack for magic as faculty and management.

In institutions that need to nurture future talents.

It is only natural for senior holders to take safety precautions.

Therefore, magical devices were always prepared for the safety of student holders in the academy.

[Magic Control] When the rune grows to the Max level.

A derived skill that can only be acquired, [Magic Barrier].

It can be transformed into various uses according to the intention of the caster, and the [Magic Barrier] installed in the Academy is mainly a defensive barrier that prevents monsters from appearing.

However, the sudden appearance of a monster at the academy could only be interpreted as that this [Magic Barrier] had been breached.

“There was a story that the villain sent a clan member to destroy it.”

“What? Is that real?!”

“Shh. Rumors, rumors. It could be.”

Because of this, all kinds of rumors circulated about the incident.

The ＜Villain＞ clan intentionally destroyed the barrier…

The manager of [Magic Barrier] messed up his job…

It happened because the president was incompetent… .

Endless rumors went up and down people’s mouths.

Hearing the murmurs of passers-by…

A professor at the Academy Warriors Department.

Tak Won-ho couldn’t hide his anger.

As soon as he returned to his office, he roughly picked up a pile of papers and tossed them.

“Damn it! What kind of disgrace… .”

Tak Wonho.

Among the Academy’s educators, he is a warrior professor famous for his destructive and aggressive swordsmanship.

Some even consider his ability to be the best among all the professors in the warrior class.

But his external position…

Son of the Academy Chairman, Tak Yun-jae.

He was the heir to the Tak family, a master swordsman.

The Tak family is one of the two leading swordsmiths in Korea.

The wealth and reputation they have built up as long as they have carried on the name of an honorable family over a long period of time were considerable, and the social status they had in Korea could never be ignored.

General operation of Seoul Holder Academy.

The foundation’s role in this…

Part of that social status of the Tak family.

Tak Won-ho is not only a warrior-affiliated professor within the academy, but was also one of the executives responsible for managing the academy.

In the end, insulting the academy was like insulting Tak Won-ho and the Tak family.

In that sense, the appearance of the Academy Monster this time.

It was an indelible disgrace to Tak Won-ho.

“How in the world can there be a monster in the academy… .”

A monster appeared in the academy that should have been surrounded by [Magic Barrier].

It’s an event that doesn’t make sense.

Of course, this is not the first time a monster has appeared in the Academy.

a long time ago.

When the theory about [Magic Barrier] wasn’t enough and its practical use wasn’t universal, monsters often appeared in the Academy.

Even after the installation was completed, the level of completion was not 100%, so monsters sometimes broke through the barriers.

but at the moment.

The construction and management of the [Magic Barrier] has been steadily continuing.

It is literally impossible for a monster to appear through it.

Maybe really like people’s conspiracy theories.

I thought that the ＜Villain＞ clan might have intervened.

“Did you call, Professor Tak?”

The Academy staff entered the office and bowed their heads.

Tak Won-ho raised his hand as if he was waiting.

“Call the student who had a blood battle with a B-class monster yesterday. I think I need a personal interview.”

It was Kang Ju-yeon and Moon Ga-eun in the upper class who actually dealt with the Sizzling Salamander.

However, it was the intermediate class holder named Do Jae-hyeon who faced the monster from the very beginning and continued the battle for a long time.

Tak Won-ho thought it was necessary to meet him and find the clue of the case.
