I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.16 Academy Underground Dungeon (1)

An office that I got used to going back and forth over and over again.

Professor Tak Won-ho, with a sharp impression, was seated with concentration.

I pretended to be popular and called him.

“Professor, I’m here.”

“ah. did you come?”

“You called me… ”

“Well. I have a favor to ask of you. Do you have a moment?”

“It’s ok because it’s public lecture.”

Unlike the first time I saw Professor Tak Won-ho, now he speaks more comfortably to me.

The cold impression and cold tone of speech did not change, but I felt a lot closer while educating me for nearly a month.

In particular, when Professor Tak Won-ho teaches swords, he drives his opponents closer to Sparta.

If it doesn’t, make it happen, and if it does, make it more.

The Marine Corps mind almost from the old world.

Even though it was an awkward relationship, after hearing Professor Tak Won-ho’s thick swear words a few times, we had no choice but to become friends.

By the way, Professor Myung-Hyun Kim still treats me with respect.

Only Kim Chae-eun was the only person Professor Kim Myung-hyeon talked nonsense.

“First… okay. Do you have a sense of the swordsmanship that Professor Kim and I teach?”

Wonho Tak and Myeonghyun Kim.

As the two professors work together, I grew up like a monster.

He raised the [Sword] to level 5 in a faster period than Park Jin-Woo of the original, and immediately gained enlightenment from the teachings of the professors and acquired two rare runes related to ‘Swordsmanship’.

The range of ability growth was also very steep.

Strength and speed are already over 20.

The mental and durability were getting closer to 20.

In the previous world, I had never even held a sword, but now I feel like a master of swords.

“As of today, I have learned the flowing and wavy swords. It was registered as a rune during training earlier.”

“Have you already learned it?”

“yes. I was lucky.”

“It sounds useless. There is no need for such humility in front of me.”

I flinched at Professor Tak Won-ho’s rebuke.

Then he quickly submitted a new answer.

“The professors were excellent.”

“… Hmmm.”

I guess it was correct

“Anyway, that will make things a little easier.”

Professor Tak Won-ho got up from his seat for a moment, took out a bundle of papers he had kept inside the desk, and handed it to me.

“Take this. Do Jae-hyun.”

“this… ?”

“Before I explain, let me make one promise before I go in. The story we are sharing from now on is a top secret that should never be leaked outside. Do not share this information with others or leave it in writing. Do you understand?”

“Yes. I will never tell.”

Shrek-

Professor Wonho Tak unsealed the tightly closed document.

Exploration reports that appear to be less than ten pages.

As expected before coming.

It was a structure and strategy report on the ‘Academy Underground Dungeon’.

“This is an undiscovered dungeon found in the underground passage of the Academy South Building. It is a dungeon that is currently unknown to anyone. Jaehyun Do, I want you to take charge of the strategy of this dungeon.”

“… me?”

“okay. I want to organize an attack party myself, but it is difficult because of my external position and internal circumstances of the academy. As I’ve said before, I think you know about it.”

A situation in which several heirs of the Tak clan are keeping Tak Won-ho in check.

And because of the B-class monster that broke through the [Magic Barrier], the academy is under attack from everywhere, including the media.

If the news that an underground dungeon was discovered inside the academy under these unfavorable conditions, it was clear that the current chaos would be further aggravated.

Professor Tak Won-ho was constantly thinking about him, and recently joined as an exclusive disciple and asked me to give him a credible corner.

A proposal that should have gone to Park Jin-woo.

From the exclusive apprentice to the Academy Dungeon.

It wasn’t intentional, but I ended up eating it again.

‘I’m sorry, Jinwoo.’

I apologized to Jinwoo Park lightly.

And I tried to hide the corners of my lips that were about to go up, and managed my expression as much as possible.

I am not happy now, but I had to lay the groundwork for it to be difficult on my own.

“But, Professor. I’m a holder of two professors who say I’m learning exclusively, but I’m still at the D level. Even the introductory monster Lizardman shown in the report right now is a C-class… Isn’t it too much for me to be alone?”

“Well… It makes sense.”

Professor Tak Won-ho thought while sweeping his chin once.

He then nodded his head as if he had made a decision.

“good night. Jaehyun Do, take one student holder as a colleague on the line you want. Instead, I have to take an oath of secrecy, and finally get my approval.”

“All right. Thank you professor.”

done.

As scheduled, Professor Tak Won-ho allowed one colleague.

As a hidden dungeon, the Academy Underground Dungeon has a high level of monsters, and the rewards are huge.

In fact, it is safe to say that it is a convenience dungeon dedicated to the main characters to give preferential treatment to the original characters.

In my mind, I wanted to monopolize all those rewards.

If you get them all, your level of growth will go up.

However, this is not a level dungeon that I, as a D-class holder, can attack alone.

Like Jinwoo Park in the original work, he unconditionally needs a colleague.

And Park Jin-woo back then, and me now.

There was only one colleague to choose from.

‘Kang Joo-yeon.’

With her, you can safely attack the dungeon.

A student who has already reached level B even though she is a freshman.

A holder with the highest level of Epic Runes in the Fire series.

A woman who is one of the top wizards in the wizarding class even across all grades.

Kang Joo-yeon.

she needed

* * *

nothing to learn

Listening to boring academy lectures, Kang Ju-yeon thought so.

Kang Joo-yeon was born as the daughter of an S-class holder and grew up as an elite.

The amount of early education and prior learning received so far far exceeds the level of learning for only three years at the academy.

Re-learning what has already been thoroughly learned.

Of course it had to be boring.

Kang Joo-yeon is already a B-class holder.

Right now, the academy faculty are mostly A and B grade holders, so it was not easy for any professor to educate her at a similar level.

‘… It’s not fun.’

There is only one reason why Kang Joo-yeon is attending the academy.

It was because of the title.

Holder Academy Senior Admissions and Senior Graduation.

The semester ended with the best grades throughout the entire school year.

As a woman whose every action is an issue, she had to win all the titles she could win in order to raise the honor of the ＜Judgment of Fire＞ clan.

In particular, the academy is an institution that most holders go through.

A place to build many connections and form a consensus among holders.

As an elite, she couldn’t give up graduating from such an important institution just because she wasn’t fun.

‘… … .’

Nevertheless, this class, ＜History and Information of the Monster＞, was seriously uninteresting.

To the extent that all the students around him are asleep.

Kang Joo-yeon also pretended to be attending class, and turned her attention elsewhere.

A man who is hard at work taking notes alone in a quiet lecture.

‘… Jaehyun Do.’

He was Kang Joo-yeon’s interest these days.

If the first was just human curiosity.

Now, as a holder, I am interested in him.

At the time of admission, Do Jae-hyeon, who had just entered the intermediate class due to practical battles.

He has shown remarkable growth over time.

When I was an E-level holder, I fearlessly ran into the B-class monster that appeared in the academy…

Surprisingly, he gave him a hit that cut off the tail.

That alone is already a miracle, but since then, it has continued to grow and has already shown the ability to reach a D-class holder.

Even though I had never seen it in person, there were so many rumors that I knew it.

From the level of the E-class tail to the level of the D-class head.

He was the one who grew up in a very short period of time.

The classes at the academy are terribly boring, and the students have no ability and are only trying to make connections with the upper class students.

There is a man named Do Jae-hyeon.

By trying and challenging yourself…

He was the one who created the value to be called a growing holder.

“… … Therefore, no matter how powerful a monster with defense runes and durability values, the place where the magic stone is located is bound to be a weakness. We can conclude like this. ruler! Today’s class ends here. Everyone worked hard.”

After such a long time, the lecture finally ended with the last words of the professor.

The students greeted each other lightly and left the classroom.

“Come on, Dada- it’s finally over. Pooh, I’m bored.”

Moon Ga-eun, who was listening to the lecture next to him, stretched out.

The boredom felt by everyone.

The professor in this lecture was particularly uninteresting.

Gaeun Moon smiled and looked at Jooyeon Kang.

“Let’s go to a cafe, Jooyeon.”

“cafe?”

“yes. I want a vanilla latte.”

Kang Joo-yeon quietly nodded her head.

I usually like to be alone, but when Moon Ga-eun suggested that I do something, Kang Joo-yeon was pretty much following her.

A hard and cold image and actually such a tendency.

For that reason, Kang Joo-yeon, who had almost no friends, was the only friend she had known since childhood.

There was a lot of sympathy for them because they were close with their families, and they were on the same level as the same elite.

My color is not good.

Kang Joo-yeon trusted and relied on her quite a bit.

So, I had no intention of making any other friends.

Relationships in the academy and society are all business.

“there… ”

But when I was about to leave the classroom.

A man stopped them.

Tall and strong physique.

A body that looks like a warrior class from anyone looking at it.

Kang Joo-yeon lifted her head and checked the opponent.

And then his eyes widened slightly.

Eyes I’ve been holding for a long time.

A very familiar face was in front of me.

“Is it okay if I have a little time? I have a story to tell.”

He was the holder that Kang Ju-yeon glanced at throughout the class.

It was Do Jaehyun.
