54 – Preparations

Incidents at the Academy tend to be quietly buried. Jeon Hoon-seung disappeared, but no one paid any attention.

In the first year, the timetable is set like a high school student, so if a cadet goes missing, rumors spread quickly.

You don’t seem to have a single close friend.

Perhaps, due to the nature of Mine, it is highly likely that he traveled alone like Asa. It’s a good thing for me. It’s because there’s a small chance that rumors will spread even if other demons are dealt with in the future.

Good.

I finished my training and was heading to the multi-purpose training ground. It was because there was a call from Park Dae-shik.

When I arrived at the training ground, Park Dae-sik called me with his huge hand.

“Ymir. Come here.”

I approached him in silence and he said.

“Come up onto the pitch.”

While playing against him, I learned Yongmugong’s second stance, and he was amazed at the speed at which I learned it.

“The speed of learning is so fast that it makes me speechless.”

“Thanks to the instructor’s outstanding teaching.”

“Heh heh heh.”

When you paint your face with gold, you burst into laughter and like it.

Of course, it is not because Park Dae-shik’s teachings are outstanding, but because of my talent. The power of talent is so important. The name of the plant food he taught me this time was Meteor Combination.

“Are you aware of the downside of Meteor Infinity?”

I nodded, and Park Dae-sik asked again in surprise.

“What is it?”

“There are many gaps right before and during the use of herb food. There is a good chance you will get hit back.”

“Right. You know exactly.”

As he spoke, he performed the meteor combo movement again.

“The dragon who created this dragon martial art knew that. Unlike the destructive power of Infinity Meteor, the loophole works fatally if the opponent avoids it. That’s why I made it to start by spilling the opponent’s attack at the beginning of the herbivore.”

Are you trying to keep the setting made by the dragon?

As I was looking at that while thinking about it, Park Dae-shik continued to speak.

“But the best defense is offense. Waiting for the opponent’s attack, then spilling the attack and counterattacking can in itself act as a flaw in herbivore. Meteor cascade is a herbivore to compensate for the disadvantages of such meteor infinity.”

He threw his fists out as he spoke. It was in the position of a boxer jabbing with the back of his hand, but his fists were not visible. Like a whip slicing through space, a fierce pangong sound followed. It’s insanely fast.

“Thinking that he grasped his magical power like a towel, hold it in his fist and swing his fist like a whip.”

He taught me how to use mana again. He seems to have decided that once was not enough. However, when I first heard it, I had learned how to operate it and had finished all the cud in my head.

“Try it for yourself.”

So when he recommended it, I was willing to use it.

Mugong creates completely different results depending on how, which blood is used, and which route the energy inside the body is shed. As I learned from Park Dae-sik, I poured out my magic power, held his magic lightly like a towel, and threw out my fist.

Aww.

My fist cut through the air, followed by a vicious sound as if space were being torn apart.

Park Dae-sik clapped and liked it.

“You use it well. That’s it. If you use that meteor combo to create an opening for the opponent, you can use Infinity Meteor right away without any disadvantages.”

Above the stadium was a punching bag that looked like a scarecrow that he had prepared for martial arts training.

I used a meteor attack at the scarecrow, followed by a meteor infinity. As Park Dae-shik said, the connection of herbivores is as natural as flowing water. Not even the slightest break. Seeing my amazing achievement, Park Dae-sik seems to be in a good mood.

“Today, I’ll teach you how to walk while I’m away.”

He also taught me how to walk. It was said that this was also a footwork that was learned from the dragon as a footwork suitable for dragon martial arts. It was a step called meteor, but it was a step with the meaning of moving quickly like a meteor.

However, my footsteps were unfortunately not affected by my talent. So even after learning for a long time, I ended up clumsily following along.

When next week is Survival Week, outside activities will be impossible. So it’s better to see everything beforehand.

It’s time to use the mysterious key.

I contacted Ko Soo-young and got an appointment for the weekend. I thought she was sleeping, but she was awake.

I could even see her when she went to her training ground and she was handling her training simulation monster with clear eyes instead of her drowsy eyes for some reason.

Swipe, swish.

The sound of swinging the sword is quite fierce. Where did you see that sword attack? The way Ko Soo-yeong wielded her sword reminded me of Choi Ji-sung’s swordsmanship.

You’ve finally copied a talent.

Ko Soo-young’s talent is absolute copying.

Due to the setting, it was probably that his talent bloomed right before he entered the academy.

Like the original, she was the first to copy Choi Ji-sung’s talent, and in return, she always spent her semesters drowsy.

Absolute copying is limited to physical talents, excluding special talents, and you can copy the talents of the opponent you want.

The number of copies that can be copied is unlimited.

Instead, the burden placed on the body is different depending on the hierarchy of the copying talent. In the case of a genius-level talent, not only could it not be perfectly copied, but he would have felt so much fatigue that everyday life was impossible.

Because of that, she must have been dozing all her life in a state of drowsiness.

And she only finished copying her talent today.

Wedge fluid. Nettle. Nettle.

Go Soo-yeong put magic into her sword. A talent that can easily change even magic power, limited to swords. That is the talent of Choi Ji-sung, the blessing of the sword.

Seeing that even with that talent in mind, the expression of magic is free, it seems that he had some talent for the ability to manifest magic from the beginning.

As expected, he’s not worried.

After gazing at it, I entered the personal training room. Since the tip of the elixir is at the end, you have to suck it all the way through.

Strength 69.4 ▶ Strength 71.4

Health 78.5 ▶ Health 80.5

Intelligence 68.6 ▶ Intelligence 70.6

Acts 68.1 ▶ Feats 70.1

Technique 67.2 ▶ Technique 69.2

Seeing her rapidly growing abilities, she was deeply moved.

Except for consuming essence, training is the fastest as expected.

In the case of Essence, certain Essences may disappear during the deterioration of the body of a demon or monster, so Jeon Hun-seung’s Essence, which raised all stats by 10, was lucky.

If you think about that, it’s best to train with the elixir.

I came out of the training room after finishing the training like that. Right after that, I checked my smart watch to contact Ji-seong Choi, and Ji-seong Choi came out of the training room across from me just in time.

He can’t even be a nobleman.

While saying hello, I told Choi Ji-sung the situation.

From noble mtl dot com

“Let’s go to the dungeon together on the weekend?”

“Ugh. I got information about a special dungeon.”

I don’t know about Ko Soo-young, but I thought Choi Ji-sung would have a hard time persuading me, but unexpectedly, he readily accepted my offer.

“Um… If it’s the weekend, well, the intensive training week will be over, so I think it’ll be okay. Anyway, since it’s a special dungeon, I think it’ll be fun.”

At that time, Han Cheol-woo suddenly jumped out next to him.

Oh man, where did this guy come from?

“Dungeon? Choi Ji-seong, you want to go to the dungeon with him?”

“Uh.”

“Can I go to that dungeon too?”

I remembered the hidden attribute of the hidden dungeon.

Come to think of it, just because there are a lot of people doesn’t mean that the rewards are reduced.

If there’s a problem, it’s more of a problem if the difficulty level increases like last time. And the butterfly effect is a problem.

If he took Han Cheol-woo with him, would he be good at it?

I thought and made a decision.

If the difficulty increases, the reward also increases, so maybe it’s okay.

I agreed to Han Chul-woo’s request, and contacted other cadets just in case. However, there are no more cadets accepting my offer.

Ha Yeon-si said that because of her father’s supervision, because of her indecisive bow training, Mo Ye-ji had a hunting appointment at another hunting ground out of the blue.

Mo Yeji doesn’t seem to be short of money, but he lives a very busy life.

Anyway, the preparations are complete.

* * *

Seol Gyu-geon, a 2nd year cadet, is the devil. Ymir thought she had no friends with Jeon Hun-seung, but she had friends with him too.

Seol Kyu-geon is Jeon Hun-seung’s friend, and she wasn’t close with her, but after she became a master, she got to know each other somewhat.

“What is this bastard doing without even going to class?”

Seol Kyu-geon was anxious. When a cadet goes missing, she begins her investigation with those around him. When an investigation begins, the possibility of being discovered increases.

With the exception of special cases, Mine is subject to immediate disposition, so he did not want his identity to be discovered.

“No way… You didn’t get hit while hunting, right?”

There is no way to catch people. Seol Gyu-geon recalled Jeon Hun-seung’s last contact and headed to the hunting ground he hunted, feeling the energy of the devil.

Ironically, Mine can feel her Mine’s energy very well.

He headed to a secluded place frequented by Jeon Hun-seung, and felt Jeon Hun-seung’s energy there.

“You are dead.”

I didn’t think it was possible, but it seems that the prey really got it reversed.
