180 – Do you know Jaehyun Do? (One)

After the ＜Villain＞ sweeping operation ended successfully.

The academy declared a two-week temporary suspension, and did everything in its power to correct the situation before and after the incident and the cluttered atmosphere.

Buildings and structures destroyed by Hwang Seong-yeon’s invasion were somehow repaired by hiring various contractors and related professional holders, and all administratively delayed issues were neatly dealt with.

In particular, compensation for damages to the casualties sacrificed in this operation, such as staff, students, and professors within the academy.

This was done in cooperation with the government and associations, and provided the best compensation possible at the national level.

It may not be possible to comfort all of their souls with this, but it was possible to commemorate the remaining space.

‘I also caught all the spies.’

All the spies remaining in the academy were also successful in finding them out.

This was a surprisingly easy process.

Interrogating the captive ＜Villain＞ clan members and executives, and figuring out the movement routes of key clan members such as Cha Soo-yeon and Ji Yoon-jae… The ends caught in the net were quickly found.

They found not only the academy, but also all the spies planted one by one in each clan, including the three major domestic clans of ＜Judgement of Fire＞, ＜Royal＞, and ＜Yonggwanggumro＞.

It was a ＜villain＞ that was composed like a dotted organization, so it was difficult to capture the reality, but it was easier than I thought to catch the bottom because the upper part was caught en masse.

The nation’s largest criminal organization, ＜Villain＞, has shaken and troubled Korea for a while.

They have completely disappeared into the dark side of history.

gee-

ugh-

widely! tadak-

However, during the two weeks when the academy was stabilizing.

I miss a single day

He was on his way to the academy like a civil servant.

“no. There, you have to put your magic more delicately.”

Professor Kang Dong-wook urged me with a sharp voice.

I shook my head once and came to my senses.

“sorry. I will try again.”

“Remember. Order of Convergence is a legendary item that all training holders in Korea are eager to study. Do Jae-hyeon holder handles such rare items. It is disrespectful to them to engage in research half-heartedly.”

“all right.”

With me at the academy during my absence from class, things are quite diverse for me personally.

But if you choose the most important job…

Also a joint research with Professor Kang Dong-wook.

Among them, it was an intensive study of the special item [Order of Harmony].

‘… It’s still a long way.’

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I carefully touched the iridescent crystal ball.

[Order of Convergence].

In the meantime, the academy has been conducting research and possession, and it is a special item that has been stolen even by unreasonable operations in ＜Villain＞.

The special effect of this item is to increase the leadership ability by 10, and this alone has tremendous value in the contract and summon series.

This is because ‘leadership’, which belongs to the special ability level, is not something that can be raised just because you want to raise it, similar to the resistance ability level.

But the real power contained in [Order of Convergence]…

There were 3 seal effects that were not unlocked.

“Three shells inherent in the order of harmony. That hard shell made up of special magic must be peeled off only with the magic of Do Jae-hyeon Holder. As soon as the first shell is peeled off, the linkage with the order of harmony begins.”

As an expert who has studied this crystal ball for a long time, Professor Kang Dong-wook knew its effects better than anyone else.

The first is a sharp rise in understanding and friendship with contractors.

And the natural ability increase obtained through him.

The second is to drastically increase the probability of a contract when using the [Hand of Contract] skill.

Therefore, it is possible to make a contract without having to put the monster in a state of ‘magic depletion’ or ‘weak’, and if the situation permits, it is possible to train two or more monsters at the same time.

The last third… .

“Provides infinite magical power for maintaining the contractor’s summons.”

“That’s right. This is why the villain master Hwang Dong-yeon was able to command so many commandments at the same time without draining his mana. Our final research goal is to develop this third effect.”

An effect that even Professor Dongwook Kang did not know about.

The third effect that could not be revealed even with secret research.

Provides infinite mana for the summoning maintenance of the Contractor.

This was the fundamental reason why ＜Villain＞ stole the [Order of Harmony].

Kang Dong-wook lifted the limit on the number of possessed spirits through the [Dark Legion Commander] rune, and gained ‘infinite contract maintenance magic’ while using [Order of Harmony].

Therefore, the goal of joint research with Professor Dong-wook Kang and I was to develop this third effect.

The reason I became the lead researcher for this momentous research is simple.

Unlike other training-type holders, I, who had a legendary contract rune, could handle many high-ranking monsters regardless of their leadership level.

Of course, the reality is that I can’t even peel off the first stage, so I’m wandering around.

gee-

ugh-

widely! tadak-

“again. I will do it again.”

In an instant, the connection between [Order of Convergence] and my magical power is severed, and without fail Professor Kang Dong-wook’s cold voice resonates.

‘Fuck. help me.’

It’s hell.

There is no study hell.

I managed to hold on to my exhausted body and put all my energy into it, but the result was a series of failures.

A voice begged me to save my life without even knowing it.

But this seemingly endless, distant research…

It wasn’t just a waste of time.

[More obstinately, more delicately. Adds subtlety to your ability to manipulate magic. You will be able to control your mana more smoothly and flexibly. Your understanding of runes increases rapidly.]

[The level of the ‘Magical Control’ rune has risen.]

[The level of the ‘Magical Amplification’ rune has risen.]

[Acquires 2 magical power with the inclination of the rune.]

The levels of the common runes that had fallen into a stagnation period rose for a while.

Direct combat series runes that deal with weapons or martial arts grow on their own just by fighting or practicing repeatedly.

[Seeker’s Sweat] triples the base growth rate of runes.

However, these common runes require additional time to level up.

Ultimately, these runes are helpful in battle, but since they are not used directly during battle, their growth itself is stagnant.

‘… The opposite benefit that has grown rapidly.’

Fast growth means that there are many things to miss.

Unlike other holders, I didn’t grow by accumulating experience and know-how, but I grew rapidly with [Rune Hunter] and special items…

In terms of detail, there were often cases where it was pushed back by holders of the same class.

To give a simple example, Ji Yoon-jae’s [Concealed secret magic] was level 20, and Cha Soo-yeon’s [Unbearable Gravity] was also level 20.

On the other hand, my main runes, [Wave Sword] and [Left Hand Sword] are still level 11.

It’s a proficiency that is far from being an A-class holder.

The levels of the main runes were like this, but the level of the common rune, which was particularly difficult to raise, was even worse.

So, the fact that the common rune level increased like this was, for me, a process of refining the growth of the runes I possessed.

gee-

Woooo!!

blame – blame –

And as the [Magic Control] rune reached level 10, there was a change in [Order of Convergence], which had not even moved.

Inside the iridescent crystal ball.

A brilliant ring that had been circling strangely appeared, revealing itself so that it could be confirmed with the naked eye.

At the same time, the feeling of being connected to the magical power I possessed ran through my skin.

[Succeeded in linking magic with ‘Order of Harmony’. Brilliant and clean magic flows around it.]

[You have unlocked the first seal of ‘Order of Harmony’. When ‘Order of Harmony’ is possessed, friendship with the contractors possessed by the target increases rapidly, and all contractors’ stats increase by 10%.]

“All right!”

Professor Kang Dong-wook shouted with a happy face.

Magic linkage and the first seal unlocked.

As expected of an experienced person, he immediately noticed the change that appeared between me and the [Order of Harmony].

I also laughed at the results of my long-term concentration.

“Yeah. We have finally succeeded in the first stage.”

“I knew I could do it. As expected, Jaehyun Do’s holder is fast. To think that only a freshman could show this level of mana control… .”

Professor Kang Dong-wook, who was clenching his chin with an admiring face, snapped his fingers.

“Well then, let’s go on a field trip tomorrow and test the performance of the order of convergence with Bond, the contractor of Do Jae-hyeon holder. It is expected that it will achieve much better results than the growth figures I have studied so far.”

At those words, I put on a look of bewilderment without even realizing it.

and asked

“Tomorrow… Do you also study?”

“of course! Now is your chance to dig into the order performance of harmony! I will also give an intensive lecture on the common runes related to contracts, so please come tomorrow as well.”

“… … .”

crazy researcher.

There must be a reason you were so excited when you first taught me.

* * *

and afternoon.

“I feel it again, but it is certain that Do Jae-hyeon Holder has talent in the Assassin line.”

Gymnasium in the academy.

There was no one here because it was during the holiday period, and a woman’s blunt voice resounded.

Yu Eun-seol, an S-rank holder and my assassin teacher.

Is it because of the accumulated results of the training, or whether the real combat of this operation was helpful…

Even in the class dedicated to her, the runes achieved growth after a long time.

[The sharpened senses are stimulating all the nerves. Your will is strong in the dagger you wield. Your understanding of runes increases rapidly.]

[The level of the ‘Martial Arts Master’ rune has risen.]

[The level of the ‘Maehwa Blade’ rune has risen.]

[The level of the ‘Stealth’ rune has risen.]

[Acquires 3 Speed and 2 Strength based on the rune’s propensity.]

[Martial Arts Master] and [Stealth] were finally achieved at level 10, and [Maehwa Sword Technique] learned directly from Yoo Eun-seol had reached level 7 without realizing it.

As I watched the levels of the runes advance to higher levels one by one, I could clearly see that I was progressing from B-class to A-class.

It was not a difficult process to look back and refine things that had once exceeded their limits.

But my growth is always, always.

It looks so good even to Master.

Yoo Eun-seol quietly watched my body change, then nodded and said.

“like. Try to block my attack yourself this time. The pattern is an ambush after stealth, the attack route is undecided, and the weapon used is snow plum blossoms. I won’t put my magic power like before.”

Yoo Eun-seol pours out ignorant words without changing her expression.

In that cruel sentence…

I doubted my ears and was frustrated.

‘Fuck. help me… .’

It was a day to cry.
