EP.14 Two Teachers (2)
Kang Joo-yeon checked her artifacts.
A sparkling emerald-colored ring that fits comfortably on the index finger.
It was a rare artifact that aids in magical power and increases the casting speed of magic.
If the direct combat class wears weapons or armor, the wizard class mainly uses these artifacts and robes.
There are various types of wizard-type battle artifacts, such as wands, magic books, and bracelets, but the one that Kang Joo-yeon liked to use was this ring with green jewels.

◎Details
: Emerald ring with the light of wisdom. It has a clear light that does not disappear easily.
That rare-grade ring that is difficult to obtain.
Kang Joo-yeon is a B-class holder and got it easily because she has a good family…
At prices ranging from hundreds of millions to hundreds of millions of won.
It was an artifact that ordinary holders could not even dream of.
‘… I think it’s fine.’
Fortunately, there are no signs of cracks or damage.
Even if he did his best to pour out his magical energy, he only used one fire magic, so it was strange that it was broken.
Kang Joo-yeon remembered the monster incident that happened yesterday.
A monster that broke through the [Magic Barrier] and appeared at the Academy.
However, such an issue is not of great interest to Kang Joo-yeon.
At least with an E-class level of ability.
A student holder who rushed to a B-class monster.
The back of that holder, who was reckless but didn’t hesitate…
Rather more remained in her head.
‘Do Jae-hyun.’
Now I have called out my name.
Do Jae-hyun.
A first-year student holder in an intermediate class.
assassin class.
But maybe he had the talent of a multi-holder, and yesterday when he was fighting a monster, he had a blood battle with a sword.
A unique holder.
He approached Kang Joo-yeon with such an image from the first impression, and showed a steady feeling without getting tired.
On the first day, he appeared to have grown much more than he did during the battle, and he ran into an opponent several times stronger than himself without fear.
That’s what Kang Joo-yeon has seen so far.
It was a freshness not seen in any holder.
The hidden gemstone that his father, Woo-Hyun Kang, spoke of.
If such a thing really exists…
To the point where I think it might be that person.
“there… thank you.”
When I’m thinking like that.
At the sound of a woman’s voice, Kang Joo-yeon turned her head.
A strikingly beautiful appearance and trendy style.
Famous for being in the top three for looks in a freshman year…
It was Kim Chae-eun.
Kang Joo-yeon’s lecture is <History and Information of Monsters>.
The opening and lectures are for the intermediate level.
Kang Joo-yeon and Kim Chae-eun were preparing for the same class.
“I couldn’t say hello yesterday because I was crazy… I just want to say thank you for your help. thanks I survived thanks to you.”
“… … .”
A blood battle with the monster yesterday.
The battle ended easily with Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun intervening.
It was also a big incident where many students were injured and killed, and Kim Chae-eun could also be in danger if it had been there.
It was not intentional, but they were lifesavers.
Kang Joo-yeon responded with a slight nod of her head.
Actually, I didn’t really care.
After all, Holders are people who are responsible for their own powerlessness, and they didn’t really help to get a thank-you note.
Someone just had to do it.
There was no reason for her to bow her head, the same comrade.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Kim Chae-eun went one step further and continued.
“Because it was a very dangerous situation until you came… If it were there, our Jaehyun could have been wrong… . Thank you so much.”
“… … ?”
our Jaehyun?
At the moment, a word that somehow bothers me.
Kang Joo-yeon’s eyebrows twitched.
I know very well that Kim Chae-eun is a friend who often hangs out with Do Jae-hyun, and there was no reason to worry about him.
somehow I don’t know.
It was really annoying somehow.
“… … .”
And a question arose in her mind.
this woman.
What the hell did you come here to talk about? ?
Kang Joo-yeon’s expressionless eyes.
very slightly.
I was starting to get a little bit annoyed.
* * *
“… … .”
I was called to a professor’s office.
As expected.
The monster that Park Jin-woo and Kang Ju-yeon should have killed.
The subject of the hunt changed little by little.
Me and Chae-eun Kim took as much time as possible, and Joo-yeon Kang and Ga-eun Moon finished the fight.
Park Jin-woo was not present at the scene.
As much as I filled the place he disappeared.
I was also the key person in the development of the following events.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Tak Won-ho, a warrior professor.”
“hello. I am Do Jae-hyeon, a first-year intermediate class holder.”
I shook hands with Professor Tak Won-ho.
But as he shook my hand and looked at me, his eyes shone subtly.
“You have played a major role in killing this monster.”
“no. The joint attack between Holder Kang Ju-yeon and Holder Ga-eun Moon was decisive. I just bought a little bit of time for the two holders to come.”
“I wonder how many of the first-year advanced class holders will be able to afford that time.”
… Is that a compliment?
Professor Wonho Tak’s way of speaking is always like this.
People themselves are very realistic and cynical, so I feel like I’m being sarcastic when complimenting others.
Professor Kim Myung-hyun, who lifted me up by using respectful words.
He was a character in the opposite position both in character and in swordsmanship.
“I’m calling you to ask you some questions about the beast.”
“You tell me.”
Professor Tak Won-ho wiped his chin once and continued.
“Can you tell me the singularity of the B-class monster that appeared yesterday, the Sizzling Salamander? Rather than the general information about monsters, I think there are things that you have learned through direct encounters.”
“Appearance? Or in terms of ability?”
“In terms of ability.”
“Well… .”
Although the number of Sizzling Salamanders is small, they are a B-class monster with well-known information.
As you can see from the [Scorching Flame] rune, it is a flame-type monster that can handle fire, and even considering the other two runes, it has all the characteristics of a normal lizard monster.
The feeling of a sizzling salamander known to holders.
But there was one difference.
It was something I knew through the original work, and it was also a fact that I personally experienced and felt.
“muscular strength. My strength was unusually high.”
“… strength?”
“yes. Usually, lizard-type monsters, including the Sizzling Salamander, are on the high side, right? Guys like Toxin Iguana have a related rune.”
“Well.”
“But the Sizzling Salamanders were much stronger. So while fighting, I realized that the difference in strength was so great that I couldn’t compete.”
Professor Tak Won-ho patted his chin again at my words.
He had a lot of thoughts, and he looked like he was in trouble.
I knew what he was thinking now.
‘Academy Underground Dungeon.’
Found while on patrol one night at night.
Only Professor Tak Won-ho knows.
The underground dungeon inside the Academy.
The beginning of the dungeon is a lizard-class C-class monster.
It is a den made up of Lizardmen.
Professor Tak Won-ho is probably thinking about the connection between the dungeon and the ‘Sizzling Salamander’ that appeared this time.
Lizardman is a monster with exceptionally high strength among lizard-type monsters…
It must be connected with my story.
“Isn’t there anything special about it other than that?”
“yes. That’s all I’ve been through.”
“is it… .”
Then, shouldn’t it be time to attack the dungeon?
You could say so, but it wasn’t that simple.
In addition to Tak Won-ho, the Tak family that runs the academy…
There are other successors and numerous sons.
They have their own factions, and they check each other in order to occupy a better position in the family.
If the existence of the academy’s underground dungeon was revealed immediately and an attack was declared, there was a possibility that other factions within the Tak family would move to steal the achievement.
Professor Tak Won-ho handles his work carefully.
This was to prevent such a muddy fight.
Besides, apart from the underground dungeon.
The destruction of the [Magic Barrier] in the academy was the work of another faction… .
This was really a case of overlapping and overlapping circumstances.
“Oh. I heard you used a sword, not a dagger, when you were fighting the monster.”
How did you organize your thoughts?
Professor Tak Won-ho asked, as if evoking the atmosphere.
“ah. I’m an assassin, but I also have a sword rune. I used a sword because I thought it would be a little more comfortable to deal with him.”
A multi-holder that uses both [sword] and [dagger].
In the holder’s world, a multi-holder that handles more than one weapon was not so rare.
Then, Professor Tak Won-ho’s brow furrowed slightly.
“There is also a sword rune, so why didn’t you sign up for my lecture?”
A swordsmanship lecture by Professor Tak Won-ho, who prides himself on being the strongest in the warrior class, especially in swordsmanship, and is recognized by everyone.
He seems to have a little bit of pride in not listening to his lectures when it comes to sword handling.
but i’m sorry
“that… The professor restricted the lecture to only the warrior class.”
I can’t hear it, how do I apply? .
I wanted to hear it too.
Professor Tak Won-ho’s destructive and aggressive swordsmanship.
A swordsmanship that overwhelms the opponent while being flashy.
However, as an assassin, I was not able to apply in the first place.
Then Professor Tak Won-ho let out a mischievous laugh.
“ha ha ha. was it I hadn’t thought of the multi-holder. I’m sorry. Tell my assistant, I’ll leave a seat open, so I’ll ask for a correction and listen to my lecture. Are you okay?”
At the suggestion, I widened my eyes, quite surprised.
Professor Wonho Tak’s lectures are always full.
As it was a lecture by a well-taught and popular professor, there were currently no remaining positions in his lectures to apply for correction.
A class that even warriors cannot enter because there are no seats available.
To open him specially to me as an assassin.
I think the way I fought against a B-class monster was quite impressive despite my lack of ability.
The result was a little different, but it was similar to what Professor Myung-Hyun Kim saw me as a swordsman.
‘I want to.’
This is an opportunity that doesn’t come easily.
It was an opportunity to further develop the [Sword], which gradually climbed into orbit, and it was a shortcut that he could climb even further as a holder.
I just wanted to answer yes.
But there was one concern.
‘I decided to become an exclusive disciple of Professor Kim Myung-hyun… .’
before coming here.
Accepting Professor Myung-Hyun Kim’s proposal for an exclusive apprenticeship.
It’s not even a month or two.
What I accepted just a few hours ago.
If he became an exclusive disciple, he would start learning his swordsmanship in earnest, but it was an insult to Professor Kim Myung-hyun to listen to the swordsmanship lecture of Professor Tak Won-ho, who was the opposite.
I thought about it for a while, but then I made a decision.
