I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.5 First Rune Hunt (4)

“Wow… They fight really well. Aren’t you at the lower class level?”

Said the woman who was tying her ash blue-toned hair.

Her name is Gaeun Moon.

The daughter of Jung-hyeok Moon, a key executive of the ＜Royal＞ clan, and one of the promising prospects for the entrance to the Seoul Holder Academy.

Ga-eun Moon was purely admiring the match of the lower class that had just ended.

Jin-Woo Park and Jae-Hyeon Do’s real battle.

It was by far the most intense of the Dalian today.

It wasn’t that there were special skills or runes that stood out.

There is no denying the machine that measures the abilities of incoming students.

As they were a temporary class of the lower class, the runes didn’t seem to have any special features, and it was immediately recognized that the level of the runes was not that high.

However, based on their own superior ability, they fought to the best of their ability, covering the shortcomings.

Their superior stats were already at the level of the intermediate class, and their excellent fighting sense was a skill that was hard to find even in the intermediate class.

“I might be promoted to an intermediate class.”

It is safe to say that the actual battle of the entrance exam is, in fact, the final stage that exists for these hidden talents.

Park Jin-woo and Do Jae-hyun are probably through this match.

There was a high probability of being promoted from the formal class selection to the intermediate class.

“Jooyeon, what do you think?”

Moon Ga-eun asked Kang Joo-yeon, who was standing loftily next to her.

An S-class holder and the daughter of a giant clan master.

The best prospect holder with overflowing talent.

Even when I say that I will be admitted to this academy…

Celebrities with the most rumors and articles.

Even this jockey had no opponent at all, so he was an elite with a strong chance of entering the senior ranks.

Ga-eun Moon and Joo-yeon Kang have been friends since childhood.

Their fathers were also famous holders of one position in society, so they were close friends who met and ate with their families.

“… not really.”

Kang Joo-yeon replied briefly as if she was not interested.

After all, she is considered one of the best talents in Korea, and it was impossible to see the fight between the low-level holders who were only rough.

In fact, when the match ended, I had to go home, but… .

At the words of his father, who told him to watch other people’s rallies for the sake of the clan, Kang Ju-yeon endured boredom and watched them.

No matter how good you look, at least it’s a low-class battle.

Ga-eun Moon, who was passionate about him, was rather a special case.

“okay? Maybe it’s because I’m an archer… I enjoyed seeing something. Without any special skills, tak, tak, and fiercely clash with weapons. The other kids give up right away when there is a difference in their abilities or runes.”

The actual battle between the advanced and intermediate classes was very refreshing.

Even if they are in the same class, there is a clear gap that the holder cannot keep up with due to the difference in abilities and runes.

You can figure it out right away if you stick with Dalian.

So, most of the holders who fought in the match today gave up or gave up the battle more easily than expected.

Even if it affects your admissions grades, your rank doesn’t really matter unless you’re the top or second-tier class anyway.

“… Because it’s a lower class.”

“It’s not like that.”

Kang Joo-yeon dismissed Moon Ga-eun’s chatter with a single word, leaning against the railing and looking at a corner of the stadium.

A man with a dagger in both hands, looking into the air.

The holder, who has just competed in the match, Jaehyun Do.

Although he had obviously won the victory, he was sitting idly and staring into the air without any other sign of joy.

His appearance as if checking the holder information.

Kang Joo-yeon looked at him blankly, as if possessed by something.

‘… He’s a strange person.’

Kang Joo-yeon also watched all the matches.

To be honest, it was a match for the lower class, so I didn’t have much interest in it and didn’t give much meaning to it, but it was a game that could be quite exciting for the parties involved.

Anyway, we fought for a long time, and we won sensibly.

However, Do Jae-hyeon didn’t seem interested at all in such a series of situations.

Just sit still and sharpen your weapon.

Sometimes I just looked into the void.

‘… Do you have high mental strength?’

More than anyone else, he maintains his composure.

Perhaps his mental strength was higher than other abilities.

I thought Kang Joo-yeon was not very conscious of it.

For some reason, I kept looking at him.

A calm and calm holder in any situation.

That was Kang Joo-yeon’s first impression of Do Jae-hyun.

* * *

‘Oh f*ck! Thank God. Jinwoo, thank you. I’ve been happy so far, and I’ll see you with a smile in three years.’

I’m locked up in one corner of the arena.

Desperately, he endured the clamor that was about to come out.

If I suddenly laugh out loud and laugh out loud, I might look like a crazy person like Park Jin-woo.

But it feels like flying and is in a state of intense excitement.

I couldn’t hide it at all.

[Seeker’s Sweat].

A scam rune that I thought was only a privilege for the main character.

Now it was in my hands.

‘Effects that one cannot throw away.’

Unlike [Rune Hunter], which says that it can duplicate the opponent’s runes, [Seeker’s Sweat] had tremendous effects like an epic rune.

There are only three effects you can see right now.

First, rune level growth rate is increased by 3x.

Considering that the power of a rune is the power of the holder…

A huge effect that cannot be bought even with billions of dollars.

This was the biggest reason why Park Jin-woo, who gets various runes in the second half, was able to raise the rune level without much trouble.

There is also a random stat increase per 100 hours of training.

This is also a deceptive effect.

High stats are always important for any type of holder.

Even if you only train for about 5 hours a day, you could raise one stat in 20 days.

Finally, up to 3 durability and spirit.

The effect of the Max level epic runes was enormous.

‘I would have lost if I was just a little careless.’

Like a monster of hard work, Park Jin-woo grows even during battle.

If he had been careless for a while, there was a possibility that he would have lost to Park Jin-woo, who had grown up in the middle of the fight.

Jinwoo Park, who has just started the story and has just become a holder.

Because his abilities were still unfinished.

Fortunately, I was able to win.

“Jaehyun-ah!”

Kim Chae-eun, who had gone to the bathroom for a while, returned.

“I’m here?”

“yes! They fought really well. It seems that only training for a month is effective.”

“Is that what it was?”

“Yes. That was really cool. swish, while Shall I learn a dagger too?”

“Arthur. There are no runes.”

It’s kind of strange to see Kim Chae-eun so active.

Even though I lived right next door, I only became close with Do Jae-hyun after I possessed her.

I’ve asked about this before, and she said that my first impression was a bit cold and hard to approach.

Then when I saw that I applied to Holder Academy, I felt a sense of unity, so I started talking to him.

When I thought about it that way, it all made sense.

Because Kim Chae-eun has a cold first impression…

If you don’t know her personality, it’s hard to approach her at first.

“Is that the end of the entrance exam for today?”

“yes. The entrance ceremony will be held next week and classes will start. I look forward to it, Academy life.”

“Chae-eun, your father is a professor, so haven’t you visited many times?”

“It’s not like that! The difference between going sightseeing and entering as a student is the difference between heaven and earth-”

Kim Chae-eun’s father is an academy professor.

A holder who teaches swordsmanship at Seoul Holder Academy.

Professor Myung-Hyun Kim.

When I first heard about him, I thought it was unusual.

My father is a holder with a deep knowledge of swordsmanship, but my daughter is a holder of a wizard family with the [Freeze] rune.

The runes that the holder awakens are often random, but in many cases they are influenced by the environment they have encountered since childhood.

This was the case with Kang Joo-yeon, who followed Kang Woo-hyeon to obtain the flame-based rune [Unquenchable Flame], and Lee Hyeon-ho, who succeeded Lee Do-kwon and made a big name as a blacksmith, was like that.

Both were holders of parental influence.

Therefore, if the parent is a sword holder, there are many opportunities to encounter swords from an early age, so there is a high probability of obtaining the [Sword] rune upon awakening.

In that respect, Kim Chae-eun, who obtained the completely opposite type of rune from Professor Kim Myung-hyun, is strange.

Besides, the [Freeze] rune is a normal rune, but it is a fairly rare rune within the wizard family.

‘My dagger is… It must be completely random.’

My parents are not holders.

When I contacted them by searching their cell phones before, the two of them were farming in the countryside.

It was a case in which I suddenly woke up as a holder and came up with my own house in Seoul.

An only son with no siblings in particular.

Naturally, my first rune [Dagger] was a randomness rune.

As can be seen from the fact that the children of the talented continue to possess the talent, the more random the runes, the more mediocre the effect and the slower the growth.

If there was no rune called [Rune Hunter].

What an ordinary holder I must have become, even if I didn’t see it, I could tell.

“I’m hungry. I want to eat.”

All entrance exams are over, and on the way home.

Kim Chae-eun said with a depressed expression.

A sigh escapes her words, which seem to contain some intention.

“You can eat it.”

“I want to eat the food that Jaehyun Do prepared!”

“You want me to serve you twice a day? Are you conscientious?”

I kind of expected it.

Now, my food is delicious too.

Even these days, because she’s been sabotaging my dishes…

When making pasta for lunch today.

The [Cooking] rune has reached level 2.

First rune level up across all my runes.

I can’t believe it, but it was true.

Still, I did get 1 mental value as a level-up effect.

Kim Chae-eun smiled embarrassedly and shook her head.

“Hehe. Instead, I’ll do it tomorrow.”

“sorry. That’s what I’ll specify. Just buy some pudding.”

“Chi… Wanna die?”

I’m sorry, but Kim Chae-eun’s cooking is a serious specification.

I tried to make it once before, but the next day I got a big internal injury that interfered with my training.

If it wasn’t for the durability, I might have been assassinated.
