Wipe Out the Academy With a Wooden Sword

21. Preparation

My current problem is clear.

A wooden sword. Or, you have to lift a tree branch to use the mana and inner energy in the danteon.

Other swordsman’s main weapon is obviously a sword, but he tends to use mana for basic martial arts and foreign work.

So I faced Misteltein.

To find out the way out of my limits.

“Can you use a new skill if you are wearing a wooden accessory?”

I’m doing taijutsu, but I can’t even hold a tree branch in one hand.

A wooden bracelet or beads would be appropriate.

Beside me, Mistiltein was sitting quietly.

“It’s possible if it’s a reverse heaven divine technique. However, since it can only be operated inside the body, it is impossible to release the energy that Dan Cheonwu used to say.”

If you can handle mining, that’s enough.

A long-term confrontation would be impossible, but in an emergency, it was sufficient for self-defence.

The disadvantage of not being able to use self-defense skills seemed to be covered by a battle suit that could be worn right away in an emergency.

Mistiltein said that if you get the branches of the World Tree, you may be able to overcome the limit on the number of wooden swords.

However, there is currently no way to obtain World Tree branches.

It was best to make preparations that could be done right now.

I thought of two people who might be familiar with accessories and items related to Hunters.

Choi Cheol-hyeon, a national treasure master who was his father’s teacher, and Yu Seol-ah, the swordsman.

Choi Cheol-Hyun Choi’s field is only weapons, but he was in the smelting field anyway.

Of course, the one who knows a lot about a field is the person who is taking the top spot in that field, so Seolah Yoo must know it well.

I had to choose a quick way to get it right away.

-What is cadet Lee Do-jin doing at this late hour?

It’s probably the fastest way to get the finished product.

“Is there a place where hunters can get accessories?”

-Umm, there are quite a few places that sell jewelry with artifacts.

“There must be something like beads, right?”

-Uh, was Cadet Lee Do-jin a Buddhist?

“This is for a gift.”

-Beads… Yes, there is. There are many Buddhists among high-ranking hunters. There is one temple that calls itself the Shaolin Temple. They will use beads made of higher wood that are not affected by qi. Weapons also use sticks made of higher wood.

Well, there was no law telling me to use the upper tree as a weapon.

I remember seeing it too. Shaolin and the opening of the place of martial arts were discovered. They said that they joined forces to create three temples and named it ‘Shaolin Temple’.

-I know that one of the places I often use is a partner of Shaolin Temple. May I introduce you?

“Yes, thank you then.”

Where else are they hiding? It may not look like a forge at all, like the building where Choi Cheol-hyeon was.

-Myeong-dong Hunter Shop Street. There is a shop called There.

Myeong-dong… ?

It’s in a much more modern place than you might think.

-Just say my name. Bring a few things you want to buy. Because I’ll tell you that.

“I’m fine.”

-If you use a higher level tree, you will get at least 500 even if it’s a bracelet. Do you have money

There is no shortage of money.

Because my late father left me about 600 million won, not including the house.

Originally, I was supposed to use that money for tuition too. Thanks to being the freshman representative, he received full tuition support.

But looking at the amount of money on the floor, I can’t do anything with 600 million.

I should get a hunter license during summer vacation.

“I have enough to buy what I need this time.”

-It’s just a gift from me. It’s not what I hope for in the future.

So would you believe that? This bastard

-Well, there is one thing I wish for.

“Something.”

-Come with Hwayeon. Some kind of date? If left alone, this child will only swing his sword all the time saying he will catch up with Cadet Lee Do-jin on the golden weekend tomorrow, so please come and get some fresh air with her.

Dating?

I have no intention of doing such a thing right now.

Coming to think of it, Baek Hwa-yeon certainly didn’t look very good recently.

“Okay. Let’s go together.”

-Hwayeon would love it.

I heard the sound of laughter unique to Swordsman.

Obviously it is true that I have only benefited, but why do I feel like I have lost money?

The next day, a woman with light pink hair was standing next to me.

I stared at Baek Hwa-yeon, who was clinging to my side.

“Have you been here before?”

Myeongdong Hunter Street.

Originally, this street used to sell luxury goods.

Even in the world of hunters, they were still selling luxury goods.

However, luxury goods that are at least slightly related to Hunter.

Baek Hwa-yeon’s blue eyes shone.

“I’ve been here! Because Master often took her with me.”

“Do you know a place called Helix?”

“Yes, yes, you know. Master has already told you. Please guide me well.”

Baek Hwa-yeon casually grabbed my right hand.

With a pod too.

The swordsman said that I was the only friend she saw often enough to be her friend. It’s so natural that I wonder if it’s real.

Baek Hwa-yeon laughed briskly.

“It’s nice to get some fresh air after a long time.”

“Sure.”

As if Baek Hwa-yeon remembered something, she opened her mouth again. Her mouth poked out in displeasure.

“Did you decide on a club? One of my seniors is still running business to get me into the club. A week ago.”

Yeon Si-moon senior came to mind.

I’ll have to visit it once the mock dungeon special exam is over.

But she had no intention of belonging anywhere.

“No, I don’t think about clubs, so what’s going on?”

Baek Hwa-yeon continued.

“They say I’m seriously going to ruin all the theory tests, and they say that if you join the club, you’ll get an average score. You think I’m a complete failure, huh?”

… I don’t know who it is, but isn’t it a senior who really thinks of you objectively?

I couldn’t count how many times I saw Baek Hwa-yeon’s crown in the two-week theory class.

If you’re not the type to diligently review, I think she’ll be as prophesied by her senpai.

Of course, saying this would hurt her, so I said it back.

“I don’t think it would be bad. I have to study anyway.”

“Hey, is that so? Then would you like to study together? I said that even if I am the only one who registers as a member, I can bring a friend with me when studying!”

What is it?

You’re a senior who tried to save a cadet from enrolling with really pure intentions.

“Yes, call me when you study.”

“Yes!”

Baek Hwa-yeon vigorously nodded.

“Ah! It’s here!”

After a while, Baek Hwa-yeon stopped her steps while holding my hand tightly.

I looked up.

A fairly full-scale Hunter Shop caught my eye.

A stylish signboard with the phrase Was hung on the signboard.

My daughter-

As I opened the door and entered, a man with a certain stature stood in my way.

“Please tell us what you are purchasing or the purpose of your visit.”

I know roughly what it is.

A place where countless hunters come and go. There must be some Hunters who visit with malicious intent.

The lower class had nothing to lose, the more so.

It seemed that the Awakened were placed as gatekeepers in order to block the source of damage to the staff or the store.

As I was about to say something, Baek Hwa-yeon grabbed my shoulder. And she moved on.

“Mister! It’s me!”

Yeon Baek Hwa-yeon with red hair smiled at her man and waved her hand.

Then, to my surprise, the expression of the man who had been looking at me like he was going to kill me relaxed.

From a ferocious bulldog to the face of a local man with a limited personality.

“Hwayeonah! A long time! Ah, so this is the guest the swordsman said?”

The man bent her waist toward me.

“There were many examples. Customer.”

“No. It’s okay.”

I lowered my head slightly and stepped inside.

Baek Hwa-yeon seemed to be having a little chat with her man.

When I went inside, a long glass showcase caught my eye.

A woman wearing horn-rimmed glasses was standing at the back of the display stand.

“I came with an introduction from the swordsman.”

The woman with dark circles nodded her head.

“Nice to meet you. Cadet Lee Do-jin. I am Lee Soo-young, the CEO of Helix.”

Looks like you told me your name first.

Lee Soo-young looked me up and down.

“The Swordsman told me to buy some clothes if the plain clothes are weird. A white shirt and black pants look good on you.”

“… Thank you.”

Lee Soo-young smiled.

“Didn’t Hwayeon ask anything about the clothes she wore? Am i pretty today? Same thing.”

I turned around and confirmed that Baek Hwa-yeon hadn’t come inside yet.

The clothes Baek Hwa-yeon wore today was a red dress. Closer to wine color, it looks sophisticated.

With her light pink hair, she looked pretty, at least in my eyes.

“I didn’t ask that.”

“Even if I don’t ask, tell me you’re pretty. Well, it’s never too late to say goodbye.”

“… All right.”

I didn’t come here to get interpersonal coaching.

“Is there anything like a rosary or a bracelet made from a higher tree?”

“Yes, come this way.”

Lee Soo-young held out a rosary bracelet to me.

Like the wolhamok wooden sword that became my favorite sword, it looked no different from other rosary beads.

I asked while trying on a rosary bracelet.

‘How is it?’

To Misteltein.

[The parent tree is correct.]

Once it’s confirmed.

“Do you know what higher tree it is made of?”

“Okay. The artisan who trades calls this a Tathagata tree. Maybe that’s not the true name of this tree. It’s hard to know the true names of higher trees.”

Definitely. If it is ‘Thaorae Tree’, it is highly likely that the craftsman simply gave an identity to his work, not his real name.

I wore a rosary bracelet on my left wrist.

Even though he didn’t have a wooden sword in his hand. Even though he didn’t hold the branch in his hand, the history of dantian began to flow.

‘Now I don’t have to lift branches when doing simbeop.’

Laughter leaked out.

“Uh, Do Jin-ah. You were also interested in these trinkets!”

Baekhwayeon twiddled with the same rosary I was wearing, her eyes shining.

Lee Soo-young suddenly jumped in.

“Hwayeon-ah, I’ll give you one too. After all, swordsman will calculate everything later. Friends and couples, no, since they are friends, they are friendship bracelets. How is it?”

Baek Hwa-yeon laughed briskly.

“That… Will it?”

“… Then Hwayeon, please give me another one. I have someone to give me one.”

It’s a lie. One is my emergency spare. You should put it in your pocket.

The corners of Baek Hwa-yeon’s mouth, which had risen brightly, seemed to harden slightly.

I’m sure it wasn’t a reaction to the fact that there was someone to give it to.

“Just give it to someone you respect.”

“That was it.”

As if he was relieved by my words, it changed back to a bright smile.

I’m trying to see if there’s anything else I can stock up on. Suddenly there was a commotion outside.

Quaaang! Whoops!

Kyaaa!

Aagh!

Explosive sounds rang out from all directions. Multiple screams hit my ears.

Monster or Villain?

I took out a wooden sword from the scabbard on my back.
