Episode 20

Xenix Academy President’s Office.

President Kim raised the volume of the TV.

[Last weekend, due to the gate that appeared near Yeokgok Station, the scene was truly a mess. It was a weekend night, so it was a situation where many casualties could have occurred. However! Fortunately, there was no major damage due to the activities of the two young men who appeared out of nowhere. This is an interview with a citizen who witnessed the situation at the time!]

Turning off the TV, President Kim said with a bright smile.

“Heh heh, student Cha Min-jun drives a topic every time I see him.”

“I was also very impressed with the hunting video. President.”

“Heh heh, if even you think that way, well. I have nothing to say.”

Woo Noh-hyuk, Kim’s exclusive secretary, was close to perfectionism.

Is that because

The expectations and eye level of Jenix students were always high.

It was also an unusual part that he was impressed with Min-jun, who was only in class D.

“It was just impressive. Nothing more, nothing less. President.”

“Heh heh, then, while proceeding with this secret quest, you should evaluate it.”

“Me?”

“Yes, the secret request will only be carried out with honor students at the end of the month, but only honor students. You know better that I can’t entrust this request to them alone, right?”

“It makes sense, though.”

A secret quest given only to honor students at the end of the month.

Unlike normal quests.

Although the level of difficulty may be high, it was not an easily accessible request until after graduating from Zenix Academy.

Even taking a chance was the hard part.

As long as you practice, you will receive various scholarships within the academy.

Since that skill is recognized, the possibility of early graduation also increases.

Because early graduation itself is recognized worldwide for its skills.

It was not unreasonable to expect love calls from prestigious guilds in each country.

Meanwhile, President Kim opened the drawer of his personal desk and took out something.

Woo No-hyuk immediately recognized the object that President Kim had taken out.

“uh?! President! that!”

“Yes, it is the last thing Taejun left for me.”

What President Kim took out was none other than a brass-colored female pod.

It was a device worn on the lower knuckle of the thumb to pull the bowstring, and it was one of the last keepsakes left to him by the courtier Gu Tae-jun.

“I never thought the day would come when I would bring this out again.”

The fact that President Kim took this out and listened to it meant a lot.

“That word!”

“Yeah, I thought of a guy that this female would be suitable for.”

“!!”

Woo No-hyeok, who assisted President Kim for nearly 10 years.

He immediately noticed President Kim’s intentions.

That’s why President Kim’s female pod was not an ordinary item.

An item that the 1st courtier Goo Tae-jun used on a regular basis.

This female pod could be called the best among many artifacts.

The fact that President Kim took out such a female pod himself.

‘no way… … .’

Woo Noh-hyuk also briefly thought of Cha Min-joon.

I also thought that maybe President Kim’s actions were too hasty to judge.

I thought that President Kim must have a reason.

Then, President Kim naturally stood up from his seat.

With his hands behind his back, his gaze turned to the scenery outside the window.

“Noh Hyuk.”

“Yes, President.”

“I don’t know why I feel uneasy about this cloudless weather.”

“Take it easy, President.”

“You should do that. I hope this year feels a bit new.”

“I will.”

“It will be. You, bring Cha Min-joon with you as soon as all lectures in Class D are over. I will be preparing.”

“All right.”

Woo No-hyuk thought that President Kim’s back looks lonely today.

***

After finishing all the classes, before Minjun stopped by the president’s office.

There was something to check first.

“Um~ I’m pretty teased. I like it!”

After the evaluation at the end of the month, the archery training center I requested from President Kim.

Thanks to one of the driving forces, there was a training ground where you could shoot your bow to your heart’s content in no time.

Moreover, on the spot.

It wasn’t just Minjun.

Professor Park Ki-chan, who majored in archery, could not hide his joy.

He was running all over the training ground.

“A facility of this size is far better equipped than Fro Academy! I never thought a day like this would ever come to Xenix Academy!”

Where is that?

The long-awaited independence of the Department of Archery was also achieved.

From Professor Park Ki-chan’s point of view, it felt like his status had risen.

The lecture curriculum had to be reworked because the proper system was not yet in place, but this was also a pleasure.

Maybe because Kang Joon-pyo was curious about the newly opened archery training ground.

Even though he was on crutches, he managed to come here.

“Hey, how are you? Won’t you kill the training ground? If this is enough, honestly, is it the level of going away from the athlete’s village?”

“Athlete’s Village?”

“ah! There is. You don’t have to know.”

“hey! Minjun Cha! Are you ignoring me again? Is not it?”

“uh! So, instead of just talking, show it yourself!”

“Oh, yes! Keep your eyes open and look! Look Carefully. the bow is As for how to shoot with Jago!”

Kang Joon-pyo broke down the wall against Cha Min-joon, and when he was in front of him, he became especially talkative.

Well, I knew Kang Jun-pyo’s true original tendency through the original work.

On the one hand, Min-jun also felt somehow proud to see Kang Jun-pyo showing a different side of himself in front of him.

“What a mess! Who are you pooping in front of? Will you give me true education once again like back then?”

“True education?! okay. Let’s decide the ranks with today’s matchup. Since you’ve been looking at me all this time, I’ve looked at you with ease.”

“Hey, hey. Take off your crutches and come.”

On the other hand, Professor Park was puzzled by the appearance of the two.

“Since when did you two become so close? Even at the beginning of the semester, I was very cold. Well, it’s good to be close to everyone!”

Professor Ki-chan Park was grateful that Min-joon Cha, who was at a distance, was not admirable.

‘If it weren’t for that friend’s performance, would the day come when the Department of Archery would revive again?’

I thought I would never see the archery department again at Xenix Academy.

Cha Min-joon, who laid the foundation for me to this point, was just amazing.

‘As expected, my eyes weren’t wrong!’

Professor Park was excited.

Before he knew it, he even started to whistle, and he mowed the grass growing in the archery training ground with his own hands.

Min-jun was busy looking around the archery training ground, five times the size of a regular soccer field.

“What you can make right away if you put your mind to it!”

I hadn’t been to Prow Academy, which was particularly well known for its archery department, but I thought it would be as good as that one.

Before long, a familiar man in a black suit stood in front of Minjun.

“It’s been a while, student Minjun Cha.”

“Iknow, right. How is the president?”

“Yes, the president wants to meet Cha Min-joon.”

“I was just about to look around this place too, let’s go.”

It was Cha Min-joon who was naturally establishing himself in the academy.

***

Min-joon headed to the president’s office with Woo No-hyuk.

Lee Seo-ah was there first.

“Welcome, Minjun Cha. It’s nice to see you again like this.”

“Yes, me too.”

As soon as he saw Min-joon, President Kim expressed his delight.

“At first I doubted my eyes. But Cha Min-jun was really right, hahahaha.”

“I just did what I had to do.”

“That is more difficult. It’s still just a trainee status. How many trainees can stand up against a guy with deadly poison?”

In a way.

Because Min-joon, who is only a class D, has shown through this incident that he is comparable to an active C-class hunter.

It was only natural that President Kim’s barrage of compliments would come out over and over again.

“Oh! take a look at my mind Take a seat first.”

“yes.”

Min-joon sat on the opposite side of Seo-ah Lee.

“Okay, then let’s get to the point. Looks like you’re in a situation to carry out the secret quest I mentioned earlier. Recently, the atrocities of those whose identities have not been confirmed near Ansan are unusual.”

“You mean it might be Blackwiz?”

“I don’t know exactly, but it’s very likely.”

“Kheop!”

Seo-ah Lee clenched her fists.

“Come on, calm down, student Lee Seo-ah.”

President Kim soothed Lee Seo-ah.

Min-jun glanced at Lee Seo-ah.

Still, she was filled with hatred for her sister, Lee Joo-ha.

As President Kim said last time, the speculation that Lee Joo-ha could have had contact with Blackwiz must still linger in your head.

When Lee Seo-ah met Min-joon’s eyes, he showed a cold attitude.

“What are you looking at? With just one snake caught.”

‘To be picky.’

Min-jun understood Lee Seo-ah on the one hand.

Top admissions, 1st place in end-of-month evaluation, and future grades.

‘Anarch’ may have been an easy opponent for Lee Seo-ah, who has skills above the current B-class hunter level.

However, that was an idea that could only be done from Seo-ah Lee’s point of view.

For Minjun, who had low expectations for his original body, ‘Anark’ would not be able to compete.

It’s true that she also had a hard time believing it at first.

It was only after watching the video of Minjun’s performance filmed on YesTube that he could barely believe it.

However, due to her tendency to not reveal her inner thoughts well.

It was only natural to show Minjun a cold side all the time.

“Okay, take one.”

President Kim handed over a tablet PC.

“These are the places where the hunters have been missing, as well as the recent looting. Even if you just check the marked parts, you can see that there are a lot of suspicious things happening in the hills near Ansan.”

“Hmm, I’ll have to look for clues with this.”

“That’s right. Since this quest is being done in secret, you have to be extra careful. and… Noh Hyuk.”

Woo No-hyuk, who was next to him, immediately bowed at President Kim’s call.

“Yes, President. Please speak.”

“Still, they are honor students at the end of the month, so you should take good care of them.”

“All right.”

President Kim patted Woo Noh-hyuk on the shoulder.

“This friend will help you in many ways in carrying out this secret quest. Well, on the outside, it may look like nothing special, but it’s skinny! He’s a friend who does his part, so don’t worry too much. hahahaha.”

“… … .”

President Kim said casually about Woo Noh-hyuk, who even an S-rank hunter would kneel in front of him.

Today, Woo No-hyeok was commonly called ‘Red Sword’.

His nickname is because the tip of his sword is always stained with blood.

Unlike his usual kind eyes, it is safe to say that his appearance with a black spirit is united with life itself.

“Then, take special care of yourself. Please take good care of this request.”

“yes.”

“Oh, and Minjun Cha, please stay for a while.”

After sending Lee Seo-ah back like that first.

President Kim handed over something he had stored in a drawer to Min-jun.

“You may need it while proceeding with this secret quest, so please use it well. It seems like something that would suit you quite well.”

“!!”

It was a small brass female tip held in Min-jun’s palm.

“This!”

“Looks like handling a bow without a common female point. It will be much easier to draw.”

Minjun immediately looked at the brass female pod.

[Unique] Myeonggung’s brass female pod

Description: A female pod, one of the keepsakes left by Myeonggung after she passed away. Not only does it reduce the delay in the draw process, but it also drastically reduces the risk of injury.

Effect: Increases agility by 30%, reduces risk of injury, and increases health recovery by 20%.

‘It’s Myeonggung… … .’

The one who is called the famous palace of this original work.

Minjun Only one person came to mind.

‘Could it be, a memento that Taejun Koo left behind?’

In ＜Daddy’s Palace＞, there was only one person called ‘Myeonggung’, Goo Taejun.

That would be too.

The time when he fought against the 6th demon king, Iculus.

Taejun Koo not only gave the demon the most fatal damage, but was also a hunter who was willing to sacrifice himself.

He was a person worthy of being praised as the best bow master to this day.

Because of this.

The writer even dealt with Goo Tae-joon’s side story separately, so it’s safe to see it as an attachment character.

‘I never thought I’d receive a keepsake from Myeonggung.’

This wasn’t just a bitch.

I just skimmed through the description and effect of the brass female pod.

The feeling was much greater.

“Thank you, President.”

“I’m just giving it to you because it seems like something that would suit you. It’s a keepsake from a guy I had deep affection for, so please treat it with care.”

“yes.”

Minjun squeezed the brass female pod that was handed to him.
