Seoul Holder Academy.

Inside Professor Tak Gained-ho’s workplace, who specializes within the Warrior subject.

As a consequence of his busy schedule with lectures and administration, an surprising customer had come to see him.

“Has it been nearly a month?”

Tak Gained-ho requested as he poured espresso right into a cup.

Kim Myeong-hyun, who was sitting on one facet, smiled.

“It’s been about two months because the starting of the semester and the Warrior Professors’ assembly…”

“You’re nonetheless utilizing formal speech. When do you intend to drop the honorifics with me?”

“I apologize. I’m simply used to utilizing formal speech.”

He by no means dropped the honorifics with anybody apart from his daughter.

Though often known as a mild and versatile professor, when it got here to this side, Kim Myeong-hyun was extra stringent about following guidelines than Tak Gained-ho.

Tak Gained-ho set the espresso on the desk with a slight frown.

“Drink it. You’ve improved your abilities after a very long time.”

“You’re treating your visitors generously. Espresso made by you… I’ll take pleasure in it.”

The steam and wealthy shade, as if the espresso had simply been brewed. An espresso that confirmed the marks of devoted effort.

It felt fully completely different from Tak Gained-ho’s tough and agency persona.

Kim Myeong-hyun sipped the espresso cautiously and shortly frowned.

“Your espresso nonetheless tastes bitter.”

“That’s the attribute of the Liberica selection. It has a gentle aroma however a robust bitterness. Haven’t you gotten used to it but?”

“It nonetheless feels unfamiliar to me.”

Tak Gained-ho slowly sipped his espresso.

“After I drink espresso, I attempt to not observe the aroma however to expertise the espresso itself. In the event you hold roasting solely pursuing good aromas, you’ll attain the restrict of espresso varieties you’ll be able to settle for by yourself.”

After downing the bitter espresso in a single gulp, Tak Gained-ho opened his eyes.

“Swordsmanship is identical. In the event you solely observe the perfume emitted by sword methods, you’ll finally miss the true nature of the sword you might be in search of. It’s like Holder Hwang Seong-yeon, who was consumed by his sword.”

“…Certainly. I’ve realized one thing new at present.”

“It’s best to be taught. You in all probability have your individual philosophy of swordsmanship too.”

Tak Gained-ho chuckled evenly and spoke.

“How’s Do Jae-hyun doing lately?”This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

Do Jae-hyun.

The freshman Holder of the Murderer subject…

He was the principle focus of the 2 Warrior Professors recently.

Among the many college students Tak Gained-ho had taught lately, Do Jae-hyun confirmed probably the most expertise in swordsmanship and had the eagerness to attain extra.

He had the power to understand 5 issues when taught one and the adaptability to right away incorporate what he realized into his coaching.

Regardless of being labeled as a Multi-Holder with the [Sword] Rune, he was extra dedicated to swordsmanship than some other freshman within the Warrior subject.

If there have been others with an identical expertise, it will be Lee Tae-joon, the highest pupil within the Warrior subject, and Park Jin-woo from the intermediate class.

Nevertheless, Lee Tae-joon lacked the identical ardour Do Jae-hyun possessed, and Park Jin-woo appeared to be extra within the swords he created himself.

Kim Myeong-hyun answered with a slight smile.

“There’s nothing extra to ask for. I really feel actually lucky to show such a pupil as my unique disciple.”

“I by no means thought you’d take him as your unique disciple.”

“You believed in his potential. And also you proved that you simply have been proper.”

Do Jae-hyun was greater than certified to turn out to be the unique disciple of the 2 professors on the similar time.

He instantly grasped the intricacies of each [Water Sword Technique] and [Wave Sword Technique] and confirmed makes an attempt to combine the 2 sword methods utilizing the runes he registered afterward.

Naturally, the 2 professors who taught him couldn’t assist however be impressed.

“Have you ever taught him the final word talent? I heard he’s achieved fairly a bit in Wave Swordsmen.”

Final talent.

Probably the most highly effective talent that runes may derive.

The talents that have been so overwhelming…

They have been additionally referred to as the ‘ending strikes’ of Holders.

Typically, these have been abilities that may very well be obtained solely after mastering the rune stage, however there have been instances the place they have been realized prematurely relying on particular circumstances and conditions.

Kim Myeong-hyun widened his eyes on the sudden phrase.

“The last word talent? Haha. Professor Tak, you will have fairly a humorousness. Do Jae-hyun, the Holder, is undoubtedly gifted, however he’s not on the stage to be taught the final word talent but.”

“Is that so? Hm…”

Tak Gained-ho regarded out of the window in his workplace for a second.

At this second, his disciple could be exploring the underground dungeon.

Do Jae-hyun’s face appeared vividly in his thoughts.

Then, he shaped a significant smile.

“For some motive, this time, I really feel like your judgment may be fallacious.”

[You have entered the boss room.]

[The destructive aura of Grizzly Drake is applying pressure. Your Holder’s speed and strength are reduced.]

“Grizzly Drake…?”

As quickly as we entered the boss room, our our bodies felt as heavy as a thousand catties. Our bodily reactions indicated that our energy and velocity had considerably decreased.

“Loopy…!! What sort of energy…”

On the similar time, the concern impact was lifted from everybody.

I rapidly drew my sword and charged in direction of the creature that had simply attacked Park Jin-woo.

In a matter of seconds, Park Jin-woo may have died if I hadn’t intervened.

“Haap…!!”

Utilizing [Agile Agility] and [Sprint] to speed up my velocity.

I used the intricacies of [Water Sword Technique] to carry out the talent [Combo].

Initially, [Combo] was a talent specialised in slashing, nevertheless, the [Combo] I inserted this time concerned slashing thrice directly, adopted by a ending thrust.

-Grrooaaarrr…!!

However as I had anticipated.

It didn’t even go away a scratch.

Whether or not its toughness was excessive or its [Lizard’s Scales] rune stage was excessive, my assault, which I put my all into, couldn’t do any harm to the Grizzly Drake.

‘It’s okay.’

As deliberate.

This assault was merely meant to draw its aggro.

It could have been higher if it had dealt some harm, however it didn’t matter a lot even when it didn’t.

The Grizzly Drake shifted its consideration from Park Jin-woo to me.

-Grrooaaarrr…!!

“Haah…!!”

Possibly about 3 seconds?

I put all my energy into blocking his assault.

From blocking with a sword from the entrance…

Utilizing [Hardening] to reinforce my physique and…

Dodging the assault with [Wave Sword Technique].

Lastly, using [Hardening] to immediately stand up to the assault.

I did every little thing I may as a brief tank.

This was my restrict.

Maybe Park Jin-woo wouldn’t be in a situation to assist me both.

“Do Jae-hyun, step again!!”

And identical to typical.

The sign flare from Moon Ga-eun, who would save us, exploded.

I poured all my remaining energy…

And rapidly retreated so far as doable from the Grizzly Drake.

Kang, kagang-!!

The assaults from the sellers rained down on the monster.

Kim Chae-eun’s freezing magic, Kang Juyeon’s fireplace magic, Moon Ga-eun’s supporting photographs.

All of their highly effective assaults have been aimed toward one goal, pouring down simply to hunt it.

When it comes to the efficiency of particular person abilities, they may all be thought of B-grade Holder abilities, highly effective assaults.

It regarded nearly like a scene from an actual hunt.

I stared on the fog the place the assaults have been touchdown.

Park Jin-woo, who had been taking a look at it blankly, mentioned quietly.

“… Was that you simply?”

Ah.

I wished to answer however now was not the time.

All kinds of magic and capturing have been pouring in, however the grizzly drake was nowhere to be discovered.

Simply to make certain.

Moon Ga-eun within the again regarded into the smoke with focus.

And shortly, together with her eyes widened, she spoke to me.

“Do Jae-hyun, it’s inside…!!”

“……!!”

Throughout the fog was the Grizzly Drake.

Similar to when it had first blocked my full-force assault.

It was nonetheless standing there proudly, with none signal of harm.

“…Does this make any sense?”

My social gathering members have been enveloped in silence.

An A-grade monster that they had by no means encountered earlier than.

Furthermore, a boss monster.

They hadn’t anticipated it to be such an amazing barrier.

We poured all our assaults into it.

But, it appeared like we couldn’t deal any harm in any respect…

And identical to that, as if mocking us.

The knowledge panel that appeared after we entered the boss room reappeared.

[The eerie energy within the dungeon gathers around Grizzly Drake, protecting it with an unknown force and overwhelming toughness.]

[Grizzly Drake is in an immune state.]

Is that this a joke?….
