At a time when the tentatively named the
Yu Seha and Moon Bora, looking a bit disheveled, barely returned to the hastily arranged Room 865 at the [Gonis Hunter Academy].
Both showed signs of exhaustion.But their faces bloomed with bright smiles.
And for good reason.By conquering the
The opportunity alone was rewarding enough for any hunter to covet.Added to this was the unexpected profit from the [Treasure Room].
Lastly, they completely resolved the biggest headache at the Academy, the dormitory issue, so how could they not be happy?
“I contacted them, and no more slimes have appeared. If we call in the ‘Association’ and remodel for about two days, it should be usable again…”
“That’s a relief. It was worth the hard work late into the night.”
I nodded in satisfaction.Then, I sent a short message to Peng Jin-ah.
It was about clearing the
I also didn’t forget to ask her to call the closure specialist team, as I would hand over the
Buzz.
Then, in less than a minute, a reply came back immediately.
It seemed she hadn’t slept and was waiting for us until this time.
―Good job. Cadet Moon Bora, Cadet Yu Seha. Regardless of the circumstances, it is undeniable that your efforts prevented the disaster at the Academy.As a professor, let me first say thank you. Don’t worry about the aftermath; I will do my best to handle it.
“And all rewards should be shared… huh?”
As expected of Professor Peng Jin-ah.A person with a large heart, like a good person.
‘Isn’t it natural since we conquered it?’ one might say.
But still, it was a dungeon that appeared in the middle of the Academy.
Even if some items were taken as evidence, there would be no complaints, yet she gave everything, showing how good of a person she was.
After a while.Moon Bora and I took turns washing up, changed into new clothes, and gathered again.
I wanted to call Ma Hana and Ju Na-young, but since it was 4 AM… they were probably sleeping, and waking them up forcibly didn’t seem right.
We decided to discuss the details with them tomorrow.
When I came out, Moon Bora was already organizing the items we brought in a row.
She tapped on the calculator one by one, checking the prices.
The magnifying glass in her hand and her glasses emitted a subtle light.
I suspected it was a magic tool endowed with [Emotion] and [Analysis] effects.
“Twenty E-grade mana stones, ten C-grade mana stones… and even a boss-grade mana stone from the
A relentless calculation.It was only for a moment that I watched her in amazement.She finished her calculation and set it down with a thud.
“It seems like it will total around 200 million won, Seha.”
Oh, it was less than I thought.Noticing my gaze, Moon Bora coughed and continued her explanation.
“Since it’s a small dungeon, there aren’t that many goods… and some of them might not have received proper blessings. Some are corroded.”
But she smiled as if to reassure me.
“And… this is just the mana stones and goods you’ve collected. The real main thing is separate, isn’t it?”
I nodded at those words and lowered my gaze.About four or five expensive pieces of equipment were scattered around.The main event starts now.
“Uh, you pick first.”“Huh?”
When I looked at her in confusion, Moon Bora cleared her throat with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“You were the one who played the biggest role on the front line… The fact that we could even tackle the dungeon was largely thanks to you knowing how to handle things… I was just tagging along.”
Tsk, oh?Hearing it like that felt a bit disappointing.As a Supervisor, it’s essential to properly praise the character’s achievements.
“What are you talking about? If you hadn’t frozen those slimes, we wouldn’t have handled it so easily. And finding the [Treasure Room] was entirely your doing.”
“…J-just pick first.”
Moon Bora hung her head low, her face turning red.
It seemed like she was concerned about losing her composure and screamed earlier.
She tried a few more times to avoid it, but with the constant urging to choose, she had no choice but to pick first.
What I chose was a round container that had been bothering me for a while.
Inside the container, there was something blue.It looked like a soul-like sphere.
The manifestation and color of swirling magic.There was no doubt.
‘The [Skill Rune] of the [Slime Knight].’
As soon as I saw it, I rejoiced inwardly.Actually, I had been a bit unsure.
‘As expected, it was [Free Charge]!’
[Free Charge].A rare-grade skill.
Don’t get confused by the word [Charge] attached; this alone can’t make you charge.It’s a typical [Charge] compatible ability.
The effect itself extends the duration and maximum distance of the charge.
This alone might seem ordinary, but it came with an incredible additional option.
‘I can change the direction of the charge as I wish.’
Usually, [Charge] only allows you to rush forward in a straight line.But with this option, you can change direction while charging.Moreover, [Charge] maintains its momentum, so unless the opponent’s [Speed] is overwhelmingly high, it will hit the target.
This greatly improved the major drawback of the [Flowing Slash] I currently possessed.
Probably, the
But getting beaten up by Moon Bora and I left it no chance to use it.
Anyway, I asked out of courtesy first.
“Hey Moon Bora…”“Anyone can see that it suits you, Yu Seha. Please don’t worry and enjoy it.”
Moon Bora quickly responded.I bowed my head to express my gratitude for her consideration.
I had mentioned it before.Having many
The more you equip, the more rapidly your mana consumption increases.Eventually, you won’t even be able to use your skills.
Currently, my [Mana] level is 21.
It’s really high, but not enough to recklessly spam [Flowing Slash] with three runes equipped.
However, there’s no need to worry.
This is exactly why the ‘Fusion Function’ is available.
If runes had compatible options, they could be combined into a single rune.
The skill rune of the
In other words, they were compatible with each other.
‘Wow~ This is awesome!’
Not only did the synthetic reward significantly boost my stats, but I also acquired powerful additional effects that offset the drawbacks.
It filled me with satisfaction.
When I smiled happily, Moon Bora, who was watching, also smiled bashfully.
Then she picked up something from the floor and continued speaking.
“…Seha. May I choose one more for you?”“Huh? No, it’s fine! This is more than enough for me. You can take the rest.”
I meant it.There didn’t seem to be any equipment that I could use at a glance.
And most importantly, Moon Bora was like a lady from a noble family.Such a person had followed me around and endured all kinds of hardships.She even showed her bare skin to a stranger.I felt incredibly sorry for her.
Then Moon Bora shook her head firmly.
“…I just want to give it to you.”
Uh, um…If she says it like that…
As I nodded, she eagerly put gloves on my hand.
The plain leather gloves that were in the corner.
Interestingly, they fit snugly on my hand, as if sticking to my skin.
In the midst of checking the equipment, out of curiosity, my eyes widened.
“Hey, hey, Moon Bora, this is…”
Isn’t this Hero-grade equipment?!
