Chapter 20 Academy Underground Dungeon (5)

“Dad, why are you so busy today?”

Kim Chae-eun checked out Kim Myeong-hyun, who was sitting at his desk.

These days, he appeared stressed all day lengthy.

Throughout work hours, he educated college students on the academy, and in his spare time, he taught his unique disciples… and when he returned residence, he was engrossed in writing one thing.

Apart from weekends, he labored all day on weekdays.

Because of this, Kim Chae-eun barely had time to eat along with her dad.

Kim Myeong-hyun smiled kindly at his daughter’s query.

“I’m engaged on creating educating supplies.”

“Instructing supplies?”

“Sure. Do Jae-hyun is great in sensible points of swordsmanship, however his theoretical data is sort of non-existent. Since there are limitations to conveying issues verbally… I’m attempting to place it in easy writing.”

Do Jae-hyun had distinctive absorption potential as a Holder.

Judging from his registration as an assassin-type, he most likely had expertise within the [Dagger] rune class, however in Kim Myeong-hyun’s eyes, he appeared extra gifted within the [Sword] rune.

Simply by him studying swordsmanship from two masters.

Each [Wave Sword Technique] and [Water Sword Technique].

The methods of studying and the character of those sword methods have been solely totally different.

Not like ‘Derived Abilities’ that one may study in some way so long as their stage was enough, ‘Possessed Runes’ required insights and a profound understanding of the particular rune to be registered.

“Abnormal warrior-type Holders don’t purchase runes even when you train them as unique disciples.”

“You imply the Water Sword Method?”

“Sure. Not like the traditional runes just like the sword, derived uncommon runes just like the Water Sword Method are within the realm of expertise.”

The identical utilized to the [Wave Sword Technique].

These two sword methods weren’t uncommon runes for no motive.

They couldn’t be discovered simply by following somebody; they have been runes that couldn’t be acquired except you really understood them.

Nevertheless, Do Jae-hyun didn’t cease at studying them individually.This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

He usually tried numerous approaches to mix the 2 sword methods.

His efforts to study and fill the gaps have been pushed by his ardour.

As a Holder educator on the academy, Kim Myeong-hyun couldn’t assist however like him.

Kim Chae-eun watched her dad with a puzzled expression.

“Do you want Do Jae-hyun that a lot?”

“Hahaha. From a professor’s standpoint, a diligent pupil is at all times appreciated.”

“Anybody would suppose he’s your son.”

She stated it curtly, however a slight smile performed on Kim Chae-eun’s lips.

It was as a result of even after work, her dad, who was engaged on further duties, didn’t look drained; he regarded cheerful.

‘He appears to be in a great temper’.

Kim Myeong-hyun took nice satisfaction in his swordsmanship.

His sword moved easily and flexibly, like an artwork, parrying gracefully.

It took him a few years to finish his distinctive sword, and he had walked most of his Holder life with such distinctive strikes.

That’s how he developed [Water Sword Technique].

And that’s how he earned his place as a professor.

‘However…’

Nevertheless, he wasn’t warmly welcomed by the opposite Holders.

Most warrior-type Holders sought harmful and highly effective forces.

So Tak Received-ho, who wielded an exhilarating sword approach, grew to become fashionable, and attributable to Kim Myeong-hyun’s lack of particular achievements and clan, his curiosity was comparatively low.

After all, not all of his [Sword] primary courses have been unpopular.

The second motive it was troublesome to interrupt was attributable to Kang Ju-yeon’s magic being of the ‘Fireplace’ factor. Fireplace-based magic wasn’t very efficient towards objects like rocks. Even the highly effective magic wasn’t very efficient; on prime of that, it was magic that had an unfavorable compatibility with rocks. Thus, Kang Juyeon’s assault wouldn’t have the ability to break the rock it doesn’t matter what she did.

Kaga gaga –

whoosh, whoosh!

[Light Meteor] exploded once more. This time, the assault appeared to have extra energy than earlier than, nevertheless it was nonetheless ineffective.

As soon as once more, a breathless silence crammed the dungeon.

“Ahaha. There’s one thing Juyeon can’t do. It’s intriguing. Ahahaha.”

“….”

Please, cease it, Moon Ga-eun…

The environment immediately grew to become as chilly as ice. I took the result in attempt to lighten the temper.

“Haha! Kang Juyeon’s Fireplace magic is among the many greatest, however seeing this rock, it have to be a sort of rock that’s exhausting to interrupt with magic. We’ll have to make use of our energy too…”

However as I stood within the entrance, my physique immediately froze. I felt one thing unusual about what I had simply stated.

To make use of our energy…?

As I fiddled with the rock, a sudden thought got here to thoughts.

After getting into the dungeon and looking lizardmen, I had fortuitously obtained a uncommon rune known as [Strengthen]. Not like regular runes, uncommon runes usually had abilities or particular results from the beginning. [Strengthen] was one such case that possessed each.

The particular impact of [Strengthen] was that it allowed the Holder to exert twice their bodily energy when lifting or pushing particular objects.

The big rock blocking our path naturally fell underneath the class of ‘particular objects.’

With the intention to check my concept, I shortly positioned myself in entrance of the rock and known as Moon Ga-eun to assist me.

“Moon Ga-eun, are you able to assist me push this for a second?”

“Push it once more? This factor didn’t even budge earlier than.”

“It’ll be okay, simply this as soon as.”

“Hmm… alright.”

Moon Ga-eun stood beside me, and I ready myself by taking a deep breath.

“Ha- Hup!”

With all my energy, I pushed towards the rock.

Although it nonetheless didn’t transfer solely, I may really feel the rock barely giving method underneath my palms.

“What…?”

And I wasn’t the one one who felt it.

Moon Ga-eun, who was pushing with me, regarded stunned.

“What’s this? Why does it appear to be working?”

“Let’s strive another time.”

“Certain, yeah.”

Gr-gr-gr-gr-

I may hear the sound of the rock starting to maneuver.

Nevertheless, we nonetheless didn’t have sufficient energy to push it away utterly. The rock confirmed indicators of giving method, nevertheless it hadn’t moved visibly but.

However, this was a big enchancment in comparison with earlier than.

Moon Ga-eun requested with a stunned expression, “Wow, Jae-hyun, how a lot energy do you may have? It’s beginning to transfer a bit.”

“I used to be stunned too. I by no means thought it could have such an impact.”

The energy stat I had was 27. With [Strengthen], it doubled to 54, which must be sufficient to exert some power towards this robust rock.

“But it surely nonetheless appears unattainable to push it away with our present energy.”

“Yeah, I believe so…”

Even with my [Strengthen] and Moon Ga-eun’s moderately excessive energy stat, we weren’t capable of push the rock away utterly. If Kang Juyeon joined us, it could possible be the identical. She was a magic-oriented Holder with a energy stat that was virtually negligible.

In that case, the important thing to pushing this rock and advancing past the preliminary stage lay in a single factor.

“Get together members. Do we’d like extra assist?”

Including a brand new Holder to the social gathering was the answer.
