59 – Battle

You can get rewards related to desire in the Dungeon of Desire. Within the limit of the reward that the dungeon can give, I give the closest reward to my desire. It seems that my desire is related to survival and further growth, so I received this kind of reward.

Good.

Three of the void series that I have collected, including void tentacles, void eyes, and void arms.

Now all that remains is the body of the void, the legs of the void, and the head of the void.

The remaining 3 can be obtained when the Contribution Shop, an upgraded version of the Contribution Shop, opens.

If you collect all of the Void series, you can use the set effect [Void]. Since the equipment of the void itself is the essence of the body of the void, you can temporarily use its power by collecting all the bodies.

Now we only have half left.

I looked around with that thought in mind.

The reward came out like a halo, and I was able to hide the arm of the void in the subspace bracelet before the cadets could see it. So there was no fear of getting caught. It also played a part that the other children had one eye on their reward.

What did they get?

According to the original story, Ko Soo-young can not only imitate with all weapons like the tentacles of the void, but also transform [King of All Byeong-ji], And Choi Ji-sung has a double combat power buff and a combat power nerf for values [ Judge of Evil].

Then, what did Lee In-ae and Han Cheol-woo get?

I checked their expressions. Looking at his expression, it seems that he doesn’t really like his sullenness.

Still, it must have been helpful in terms of combat power.

I was thinking that, but Ko Soo-young said.

“Yeah, but… Aren’t we late?”

“What?”

“I think I’ve been in the dungeon too long.”

I was going to say something, but Choi Ji-sung answered instead.

“If you look at the curriculum, there is a regular dungeon timetable. In a dungeon like this, time passes at least twice as fast as in the real world. So maybe it’s still the weekend outside?”

“Really?”

“Yes.”

“I’m glad.”

As expected, he is a model student.

I mean, I memorize all the trivial parts.

At that time, Ina Lee shouted, as if she couldn’t stand the longer conversation.

“Let’s not kill time and get out quickly.”

We agreed with her opinion, entered the black wave connected to the real world, and came out of the dungeon. Shortly thereafter, she immediately returned to the academy.

* * *

Instructor Jinah Lee, Instructor in Charge of Demonology, is the younger sister of Hunter Jinchang Lee, the hero of the Association. As an instructor with expertise in demonology, he moved to the investigation team for Jeon Hun-seung’s disappearance case just in case, and returned without any profit.

Another cadet is missing.

Every year, deaths and disappearances of cadets, as well as various accidents such as minecrafting, are the annual events of the academy. But I can’t help but feel depressed whenever something like this happens.

Maybe he’s dead, not missing.

She felt frustrated and lonely. She was sitting in the instructor’s lab, staring blankly at her window when her smart watch rang. When I checked her caller, it was Lee Jin-chang.

Lee Jin-ah cleared her voice and answered the phone.

“Uh, why?”

From noble mtl dot com

-How’s the news?

“What news?”

– Ymir.

While Lee Jin-chang was suspicious of Ymir, she heard what Dae-shik Park said and she withdrew her hand from the direct investigation, instead gathering information indirectly like this.

“He is a serious boy.”

– So?

“There’s no way a sincere kid can become a Mine.”

-It could be that he became sincere because he became a demon.

“I’m sorry.”

A laugh came through the smart watch. Listening to the conversation, it seems that Ymir contacted her for a different business than her business.

“Really, what are you calling for?”

-I’m going to apply for the academy next week.

“Oh, outside instructor support.”

From the 2nd week of the evaluation week, there are many practice-oriented exercises, so there are many cases where instructors are supported from outside.

-It’s been a while since we’ve had time to eat together.

“Maybe.”

Jinah Lee made an appointment with Jinchang Lee and cut off contact with her. Taking a breather, she turned on her computer to check the results of her training evaluation week.

Did Instructor Yoon Seul-ah do her job properly?

I checked and the scores of the cadets were recorded. Among them was Ymir. Since we had just talked about Ymir a while ago, our eyes naturally drifted.

“… Oh what 14,000 combat power… ?”

This is an excessively high score for a first-year cadet. Even considering the margin of error, isn’t Choi Ji-seong or Han Cheol Woo better? Lee Jin-ah then suddenly thought. She wondered if her brother’s suspicions were correct.

“… It can’t be. I am.”

She sighed lightly and began to sort out her cadets’ scores.

After returning to the academy, I immediately put on the arm of the void. Again, the question of being united with the body came to my mind, and I agreed. Since there are three void equipment, the ability of the body that is amplified by itself is superior.

『Empty Arm』

[Secondary Armed][Void][Special][Body Transformation][Growth]

[Self type][Combined type]

An arm dropped by the Void. Although the existence was divided into fragments, it is still alive and breathing.

* All general stats are corrected according to proficiency.

* All stats increase by 20%.

* All talents, skills, and skill proficiency increases by 150%.

* You can get the ability to penetrate the target’s defense. The allowable distance of passing depends on the proficiency of the arms.

I tried using the ‘pass’ ability and was amazed at how alien it was. The passage was literally physically blocked so that the attack could be made through the object.

The president’s office located on the top floor of the academy.

Befitting the title of an adult who never ages, Kang Yoo-han, who had the appearance of a boy, was sitting with a nervous expression.

“… Hmm.”

He has a nervous appearance that doesn’t seem to indicate that he has lived to be over 150 years old.

Shuuu.

After a while, black smoke came in from outside the window, creating a silhouette of a person right in front of me. Yuhan Kang swallowed her saliva. The silhouette soon took shape and became a person. She is a black-haired woman with a voluptuous body.

Kang Yuhan immediately jumped up from her seat and bowed her head.

“Are you here?”

Despite her dignified appearance, the woman didn’t say hello and just said what she wanted to say.

“What about?”

“I am doing well.”

“How much growth?”

“When I did as you said, I grew up much faster than the others. You seem to have an eye for it.”

“Looking at you….”

It’s not the eyes, it’s the natural behavior of the possessor.

The woman laughed instead of talking. No matter how much I talk about this concept, they don’t understand it.

The woman stopped laughing and held out her hand. It is a sign to hand over something. Kang Yoo-han took out her prepared report and put it in the woman’s hand. When the woman picked up the report, she said as if he were reporting to the president of the business like a salesperson.

“As you said, we investigated all aspects of the target. And I’m done checking. He was acting at your word.”

The woman nodded her head.

“I guess so.”

“I’m sorry, but I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“… Is that foresight?”

At Kang Yoo-han’s question, the woman laughed again.

Regression, not foreknowledge.

However, even if I tried to explain this concept, they would not understand it.

“Similar.”

“Similar abilities.”

“Yes.”

The woman flipped through the report and checked Ymir’s information. Growth is still not satisfactory.

I haven’t had enough since then….

There is another way. It’s a risky method, but the effect is certain.

Should I use it?

At that time, Kang Yoo-han said.

“Excuse me, can I ask you one more question?”

“What is it? Try.”

“Why are you going through me like this instead of stepping out yourself?”

Kang Yoo-han was feeling the burden of being in such a low profile despite his age and face.

“Curious?”

“Yes.”

I have no access.

The woman said to herself this time as well and laughed. Kang Yoo-han had a child.

“There is a reason for that.”

“Um… okay.”

After that, time continued to pass in the midst of face-to-face. After the woman gave Kang Yoo-han this and that instructions, she prepared to disappear. Yuhan Kang spoke again.

“By the way, when will I be able to receive the payment I promised?”

“It is not yet time.”

“Time is running out.”

When Kang Yu-han thought of her self and her son, Kang Il-nam, she became anxious. She is her own son, Kang Il-nam, who is now over seventy and working as a dungeon practice instructor at her academy. The lifespan of the son he had acquired in his old age was not long. His son, unlike himself, is not blessed with immortality, so his lifespan is the same as that of an ordinary person.

The woman said.

“It won’t take long. I will keep my promise.”

“Please, please. I will believe you.”

Having achieved her goal, the woman disappeared as suddenly as she had come. The phone rang when Yuhan Kang was catching her breath. When she picks up the phone, it says that there is another guest.

Kang Yuhan was tired and annoyed and was about to bite off her customer, but she realized that the target was her sophomore cadet’s New Year’s Eve, and decided to meet.

The second week of the evaluation week is a survival-focused week. It was a training to endure while taking care of food, clothing and shelter in a natural environment for a week, but it was not a big problem for me.

Of course, I couldn’t carry artifacts such as subspace pouches, but it was because I had void tentacles.

I used the void tentacle like a backpack, and after storing all the items I needed for life, I started the survival intensive brew. It is easier to endure than others because there are means to solve food, clothing and shelter. Naturally, it ended with a high score.

And the Daejeon Intensive Liquor was right in front of me.
