Chapter 16 Academy Underground Dungeon (1)

The acquainted workplace that I’ve visited many instances earlier than. Professor Tak Gained-ho, with a pointy impression, was sitting there, totally concentrated. I gave a slight nod to get his consideration.

“Professor, I’m right here.”

“Oh, you got here.”

“You referred to as me…”

“Yeah, I referred to as you as a result of I’ve a favor to ask. Do you may have a second?”

“I’ve a free interval, so it’s okay.”

In contrast to after I first met Professor Tak Gained-ho, he now speaks extra comfortably to me. Although his chilly demeanor and stern tone haven’t modified, I really feel like we’ve develop into extra acquainted after practically a month of training collectively. Particularly when Professor Tak Gained-ho teaches swordsmanship, he does it with a Spartan depth.

When you can’t do it, he makes certain you may, and if you happen to can, he pushes you additional. It’s nearly just like the mindset of a marine from my earlier world. Though it was awkward between us at first, after listening to Professor Tak Gained-ho’s foul language a couple of instances, I couldn’t assist however get used to it naturally.

By the best way, Professor Kim Myeong-hyun nonetheless addresses me formally. The one particular person Professor Kim Myeong-hyun makes use of informal language with is Kim Chae-eun.

“Nicely, then… alright. Have you ever gotten a way of the swordsmanship taught by me and Professor Kim?”

Tak Gained-ho and Kim Myeong-hyun. I’ve grown like a monster below the joint tutelage of those two professors. In a shorter interval than the unique Park Jin-woo, I raised [Sword] to degree 5, and I gained quick enlightenment and gained two uncommon runes associated to ‘Swordsmanship’ from their teachings. The expansion charge of my skills was extraordinarily steep. My energy and velocity are already above 20, and my willpower and toughness stats are approaching 20.

I had by no means even held a sword in my earlier world, however now, I felt like a grasp of the sword.

“Beginning immediately, I’ve realized the Water Sword Fashion and the Wave Sword Fashion. They had been registered with the runes throughout the coaching.”

“You’ve already realized them?”

“Sure, I received fortunate.”

“No want for such modesty. I don’t want you to be humble in entrance of me.”

Unintentionally, I flinched at Professor Tak Gained-ho’s reproach. Then I shortly talked about one thing else.

“Your teachings had been distinctive.”

“…Hmm.”

I should have given the appropriate reply.

“Anyway, then the duty ought to develop into a bit simpler.”

Professor Tak Gained-ho stood up for a second and took out a stack of paperwork from contained in the desk. He handed them to me.

“Take this, Do Jae-hyun.”

“What’s this…?”

“Earlier than I clarify, now we have to make a solemn pledge. The story we’re about to share is top-secret and may by no means leak outdoors. You could not inform anybody else about this, not even in writing. Do you perceive?”

“Sure, I’ll by no means leak the knowledge.”

Seruk-

Professor Tak Gained-ho firmly broke the seal on the closed paperwork. It gave the impression to be an exploration report, consisting of about ten pages in complete. As I anticipated, it was in regards to the ‘Academy Underground Dungeon’.

‘…Boring.’

The one motive why Kang Juyeon was attending the category was due to its title, The Historical past and Data on Monsters . And he or she has to finish the semesters with the perfect grade all through the varsity 12 months. As she must be accountable for all of her actions, then she has to win all of the prizes she may use to boost the dignity of her household, the <Judgment of Hearth> clan.

Specifically, the academy is an establishment that the majority Holders undergo. It’s a place constructed to develop numerous private connections and to type a consensus amongst Holders. As an elite, she couldn’t hand over graduating from such an vital establishment simply because the category wasn’t enjoyable.

‘….’

The category <The Historical past and Data on Monsters> was so uninteresting that even the encircling college students had been dozing off. Kang Juyeon pretended to hearken to the category, however her gaze wandered elsewhere. Within the quiet lecture, there was a person diligently taking notes on his personal.

‘…Do Jae-hyun.’

He had been the main focus of Kang Juyeon’s curiosity not too long ago. At first, it was simply human curiosity. Now, she grew to become concerned about him as a Holder. When he first entered the academy, Jae-hyun had simply moved as much as the intermediate class after the sensible dueling.

As time handed, he confirmed astonishing progress. When he was nonetheless an E-grade Holder, he fearlessly fought in opposition to a B-grade monster that appeared within the academy. Astonishingly, he managed to chop off its tail with a legitimate assault. That alone was already a miracle, however afterwards, he continued to develop and has now develop into a D-grade Holder. Though she hadn’t seen it together with her personal eyes, there have been so many rumors that she may inform.

From the extent of a low-end E-grade Holder to the top of the D-grade.

He was the one who earned the title of a rising Holder by his personal efforts and challenges, even within the boring setting of the academy the place the courses had been ineffective, and the scholars tried to construct connections with higher-grade college students with none skills.

” …Subsequently, irrespective of how highly effective the monster with sturdy protection runes and toughness could also be, the placement of the magic stone can develop into its weak point. We will conclude this manner. All proper! In the present day’s class ends right here. Thanks all to your exhausting work.”

After some time, the lecture lastly ended with the professor’s ultimate phrases. College students greeted one another frivolously and left the classroom one after the other.

“Phew, it’s lastly over. Phew, it’s so boring.”

The lady sitting subsequent to her, Moon Ga-eun, yawned and stretched. It appeared that everybody felt the identical boredom. The professor of this class was notably uninteresting.

Moon Ga-eun smiled and checked out Kang Juyeon.

“Let’s go to a restaurant, Juyeon.”

“A restaurant?”

“Sure. I wish to have a vanilla latte.”

Kang Juyeon quietly nodded. She often favored being alone, however each time Moon Ga-eun instructed doing one thing, Kang Juyeon often adopted her. Moon Ga-eun was the one buddy she had from a younger age. With a troublesome and chilly picture and a character to match, Kang Juyeon didn’t make many associates. Even together with her household, they had been shut and had an analogous elite standing, so they’d so much in frequent. Although she didn’t present it typically, Kang Juyeon trusted and relied on her fairly a bit.

So, she had no intention of creating different associates.

Her relationships on the academy and society had been all considered as enterprise transactions.

“Excuse me…”

As they had been about to go away the classroom, a person blocked their manner.

He was tall and had a strong construct, clearly trying like a warrior-type. Kang Juyeon raised her head to substantiate the particular person. Then, her eyes barely widened.

A well-recognized face stood earlier than her.

“Are you able to spare a while? I’ve one thing to speak about.”

He was the Holder Kang Juyeon had been glancing at all through the category.

It was Do Jae-hyun.
