Chapter 34 Finish-of-semester Analysis (4)

Kim Hyo-won had a hunch about his victory. Although he had nervous about going through a magic-based or archer-based opponent, luckily, his opponent was an assassin-type Holder. Amongst them was Do Jae-hyun, an intermediate-level scholar who leaned in direction of the warrior class.

Utilizing the particular merchandise, [Corrosion Powder], his sword turned corroded, making it troublesome for him to arrange for the battle immediately. Whereas as an assassin-type, he might additionally use [Daggers]… Kim Hyo-won’s assaults have been coming in too quick.

‘I simply have to win.’

As a lower-graded scholar throughout the warrior class, this end-of-semester analysis was extra essential for Kim Hyo-won than anybody else. With all the things being ambiguous by way of stats and runes, this analysis might doubtlessly result in his demotion to the intermediate stage. Subsequently, earlier than the duel even started, Kim Hyo-won decisively used his particular merchandise.

‘It’s not even breaking the principles, proper?’

To be trustworthy, there was nothing to fret about. Dueling was akin to actual fight. Consequently, it doesn’t matter what variables may intrude, the supervisors wouldn’t intervene, and if somebody questioned the transfer as unfair, they may merely attribute it to the results of possessed runes. In fashionable rune measurement units, whereas they may affirm whether or not a Holder possessed runes, they may not determine which particular runes have been held.

So, if Kim Hyo-won claimed, ‘That is my particular rune!’, nobody might argue in opposition to it. After all, Holders who knew about [Corrosion Powder] may acknowledge it immediately, however anyway, so long as issues proceeded this manner, it could be Kim Hyo-won’s victory, pretty earned by way of his gameplay.

“What the…?!”

Nonetheless, simply as Kim Hyo-won’s sword was about to pierce his opponent’s shoulder, it sliced by way of the air with a fierce gust of wind. Do Jae-hyun dodged his assault with an instantaneous motion. Kim Hyo-won was astonished by his fast reflexes.

‘His velocity is unimaginable…’

A unprecedented velocity with astounding stats, mixed with the assist of associated runes. However that was not all. What occurred subsequent was much more shocking.

“Oof…!!”

Abruptly, Kim Hyo-won groaned in ache from a pointy sensation on his aspect. A fist had struck his aspect. Following Do Jae-hyun’s swift footwork, a strong physique blow landed on Kim Hyo-won’s proper torso, adopted by a flicker jab! Instantly, Kim Hyo-won acquired a number of hits to his aspect and face and endured the ache, attempting to distance himself from Do Jae-hyun as a lot as potential.

“Un…plausible…”This chapter was first shared on the Ñøv€lß1n platform.

He couldn’t imagine it although he skilled it firsthand. It wasn’t simply an atypical assault counting on power; it penetrated his toughness stats and [Physical Defense] rune, dealing a transparent and painful blow. With out the assist of runes associated to [Quadruped Combat], such a factor ought to have been not possible.

‘Does he have [Combat] runes…?’

Is that even potential? Although he was a Multi-Holder, there needed to be some limits. [Sword] and [Dagger] have been throughout the shared space, and plenty of Holders possessed each runes. Assassins used [Sword] runes, and warriors used [Dagger] runes. That was the explanation why the Academy of various international locations didn’t distinguish between the warrior and murderer courses. Nonetheless, it was a unique story with [Combat] runes. Though categorized as a part of the warrior class, it was primarily a rune near the particular class. A dueling fashion relying purely on unarmed duel, distant from [Sword] and [Dagger]…

A totally completely different kind of most important rune.

To suppose that his fellow scholar possessed such a rune was onerous to fathom.

‘Why not simply say there are [bow] and [spear] runes too?’

Such a Multi-Holder with so many runes felt unfair to Kim Hyo-won. He had gone by way of the difficulty of corroding Do Jae-hyun’s sword, and all of it turned out to be in useless.

“Has the boldness he had proper after the duel began, disappeared?”

At a slight distance. Do Jae-hyun, who took a guard stance, stated with a smile.

Kim Hyo-won bit his lip and replied.

“They stated you’re a Multi-Holder, however you additionally possess all the things.”

“I couldn’t assist it if I needed to play honest.”

“That one?”

“Laborious to say for now. The skills of this Holder, Do Jae-hyun, are considerably forward. Additionally, Kim Hyo-won in all probability used the corrosion powder in opposition to him, considering that he wouldn’t have to fret a couple of newly enrolled child from the academy.”

“Ah? Did you additionally come as a result of Kang Juyeon requested you? I’m right here due to Moon Ga-eun nagging me continuous.”

“These youngsters are a handful, certainly. Actually bothersome.”

Whereas chatting, Do Jae-hyun’s combo erupted as soon as once more within the match. Jab, straight, backstep, after which straight, a three-punch combo. It was troublesome to inform if it was a Holder duel or a martial arts competitors.

“However [Combat] is exclusive, isn’t it? Each swords and daggers mixed with Quadruped fight. It’s a Multi-Holder with varied abilities, a uncommon breed.”

“It’s not solely that, Look… There appears to be a rune associated to hurry. Could be value watching.”

Kim Hyo-won was not simply being overwhelmed. By some means, he tried to make use of his talents and [Sword] to proceed the counterattack, however Do Jae-hyun, utilizing [Agile Agility] and excessive velocity, evenly evaded the assaults. Even when he was allowed to assault as soon as, the [lizard’s scales] coated him. Not solely by way of talents, but additionally in the usage of runes… Additionally, Do Jae-hyun is aware of him precisely and utilized it to the battle.

Choi Gyu-hyuk appreciated that.

It was positively a unprecedented dueling sense for a promising Holder.

“However this… Kim Hyo-won will win?”

“Hmm… .”

Even the spectators, together with the 2 of them, seen it. Then again, Kim Hyo-won continued to permit assaults whereas counting on excessive toughness stats, [Physical Defense], and managing his toughness by way of [Endurance].

[Endurance] was a rune that helped him face up to extended duels, guaranteeing he wouldn’t tire simply. It was a standard rune acquired by most A-grade Holders within the warrior class, who primarily targeted on tanking. Nonetheless, Multi-Holder Do Jae-hyun didn’t have [Endurance]. It confirmed, as he gave the impression to be getting extra fatigued in comparison with Kim Hyo-won.

So, Gyu-hyuk predicted Kim Hyo-won’s victory. The distinction of their talents was nonetheless not a lot over time, merely barely in Do Jae-hyun’s favor.

“Huh?”

Nonetheless, one thing unusual occurred. Kim Hyo-won, who had been enduring numerous hits, out of the blue began trembling. At first, it was only a slight shake, however over time, his posture utterly collapsed. It was onerous to imagine that the Holder who had been holding his floor so nicely might out of the blue collapse so helplessly.

Seeing this, Yo-han was bowled over and requested in shock, “What, what’s occurring?”

“Loopy…”

Gyu-hyuk additionally couldn’t discover a solution. As if attempting to see it up shut, he grabbed his head.

Lastly, upon seeing Kim Hyo-won’s physique collapse utterly, they may affirm what had occurred. His physique was coated in a wierd, blotchy sample – it was clearly a state of poisoning. It appeared like one other particular rune possessed by Do Jae-hyun…

An assault associated to poison.

Kim Hyo-won, who had been focusing solely on bodily assaults, had no solution to defend in opposition to such a sudden poison assault.

-Duel over. Murderer-type intermediate class Holder, Do Jae-hyun, wins. The Restoration Medical Group, please shortly test Kim Hyo-won’s situation.

Thus, the match ended with Do Jae-hyun’s victory. If somebody unfamiliar had witnessed this, they could have thought that Do Jae-hyun had cunningly outwitted Kim Hyo-won. After practically quarter-hour of dominating his opponent after which ending the duel with a sudden poison assault, it could appear suspicious.

His rune utilization was so subtle that even the viewers was in awe. Alongside along with his virtually flawless fight expertise, Gyu-hyuk stared at him in disbelief.

Who on earth is that this man?
