[It would be better to apply a new training method.]
“… A new training method?”
It was dawn. I was struggling at the training ground alone.
I wiped the sweat dripping down into my eyes and moved my gaze towards the Traveler.
[Okay. It’s a little inefficient for Akashic Records users to draw power by communicating only with beings in their memory.]
“… Hmm, is it? I thought it would be enough to use only those I know.”
[You act like a frog in the well. It’s time to communicate appropriately.]
It’s true.
‘Communication and Sharing’ has not been used appropriately.
I have never spoken to other world beings except for the Traveler.
“… Um, but when should I use the rewards I received?”
[It’s too early to use the Skill Evolution. None of your skills are good enough to take you to the top.]
I thought it would be a good idea to evolve the sword skill obtained from the Goblin Slayer.
Maybe the Traveler had bigger goals than I had. Well, the bigger, the better.
“Then, this roulette item…”
[Let’s save it too. This is best for when you find yourself in a risky situation.]
“It sounds like you don’t want me to use them. I’m a little sad. “
[There will be a time and place to use them.]
“What… Then, as you said, there’s nothing else I need to do except to use Communication and Sharing? I already finished today’s training.”
[Yes. How long are you going to link with just those in your memory?]
“Yes, Yes. It would be good to try it.”
T-ring!
[Jeong Si-woo]
[Class]
[→ None.]
[Characteristic]
[→ Exceptional Insight (F)]
[→ Akashic Records (?)]
[Skill]
[→ Link (E)]
[→ Swordsmanship (E)]
[→ Tough skin (F)]
A transparent notification window was floating in the air. I was staring at the part that said ‘Akashic Records’ and checked the field below it.
[Communication and Sharing]
[→ Communicate by connecting spirits with other beings. You can share a lot with the person you communicate with.]
[→ In order to communicate with the high-ranking beings, the user must also achieve that level.]
[→ There are great, hero, legendary (??) and mythical grades.]
[* The rating of the user is very low.]
[* The soul level is very low.]
[* The current communication level is ‘Great.’]
[* You can’t communicate with three or more entities at once because of the low level of personality. (Currently communicating with: Traveler)]
“… The explanations are very specific.”
I nodded my head, reading the explanations in front of me.
As it is, my level was still too low to utilize the full force.
Eventually, I would be able to use it infinitely as I grow.
‘Mythical?’
What kind of beings had these ratings?
There are a few myths that came to mind.
The gods of thunder in Northern Europe, the Greek gods…
‘What… I can’t be able to bring such power, can I…’
No way, I can’t have the power of such gods.
It was greed to want something too big.
Rather than thinking about gaining more, my priority was to utilize what I had right then.
“Communication and Sharing.”
For that, first of all, I had to try it out.
[You used ‘Communication and Sharing’]
[It could access great stories from souls that wander the dimension.]
[Currently, the soul rating is very low.]
[Currently, the trait rating is very low.]
[There is a limit to who you can communicate with.]
A lot of transparent windows popped up one after another in front of my eyes.
[Randomly selects one of the floating souls.]
[You have successfully communicated.]
Soon, the transparent windows disappeared, and a strange sight began to unfold.
“Look at your opponent and keep your eyes on the edge of the sword.”
A man dressed in full body armor resembling a medieval knight appeared, with a terrified boy standing behind him.
“Whatever the case, the knight should not step back.”
Ten knights in black armor surrounded those two.
“For the Master, you must be able to give up your life without hesitation.”
The man in armor took a sword without hesitation. He stood boldly in front of the boy despite the threatening situation.
[The Valstaya Empire’s Valorous Knight]
[His saga, protecting the young lord without hesitation at the face of ten knights, continues to linger among the knights even after a long time.]
[His story was cherished by knights who believed in honor.]
[You have succeeded in communicating with a great person.]
The young master was trembling from behind, breathing rapidly, the dust tasting bitter in his mouth.
The enemies’ black armor shone vividly, their glowering eyes peeking through the visor’s gaps. The metal clanged, and the sun burned from above.
My feelings overcame me like a tide as I watched the scene.
Suddenly, a thick voice rang in my head.
『You’re a strange young man.』
I instinctively knew that the voice came from that brave armored man.
He was speaking to me.
『You brought up an old man and asked him to tell you a story that you won’t even remember.』
Threung.
The nearest black knight struck his sword.
The flash of the sword blinded my eyes.
Chaeng!
Swords clashed against each other.
It felt like I was watching a movie, all the experiences and sensations seeping into my body.
No. It was as if I was the main character in the story.
[The bond with the brave knight of the Valstaya Empire increases.]
[The more you immerse in a story, the more the bond increases.]
[If the bond reaches a certain level, you will meet the terms of use in ‘Link.’]

“Oh… It’s too difficult.”
[What’s hard?]
“Because it’s different from normal muscle pain; it doesn’t decrease in one day.”
I was walking in the hallway talking to a Traveler.
After finishing the new training method he proposed yesterday, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
And when I woke up, the sun was high up in the sky.
If today weren’t a weekend, I would have been in trouble.
Fortunately, the Academy’s formal classes were held on weekdays only, and the weekends were left to the students.
They had the freedom to go out, to rest, and to train.
Thanks to that, I was able to move more leisurely than usual.
[You said you wouldn’t skip training, so you have to do it today. No matter how hard it is, you know?]
“Of course, I do. But first, I’m going to eat something and think. How many hours did I sleep? I’m starving.”
Today, my routine will start with rice.
It was a little awkward to skip breakfast and jump straight to lunch, but what could I do?
It’s wrong to wake up this late.
As I headed to the cadet restaurant, a sound from somewhere caught my attention.
“Oh …!”
Someone was moaning, as if in severe pain.
As I focused on the sound, I heard it more clearly.
A dull low, a continuous sound …
[Someone getting beat up. It sounds like three people are beating one.]
“How can you guess that?”
[When I was in Moorim, I could tell who was who just from the sound. This is easy.]
‘That seems like a magical talent.’
With that thought in mind, I walked toward the sound.
The closer I got, the more the voices were heard.
It would be a waste for a student in Hwayeon Choin to drop out because of bullying.
If I could save a single useful hunter, it would mean much.
“What trick did you use? Tell us!”
“Is it so hard to tell that? Huh?”
[Women are scarier than men.]
All three who were ganging up were schoolgirls wearing the robes of Magic Department.
Sighing, I approached them.
A woman of the same age was crouching beneath them, crying.
I tried to say something, but the face caught my attention.
‘… Huh?’
It was a familiar face.
No, it wasn’t just familiar.
It was the same face I was surprised to see a few days ago.
“I really wasn’t using any tricks…”
She replied in a weak voice as she hunched her shoulders and blinked her pained light purple eyes.
[Isn’t that the girl you met a few days ago?]
It was Yoo Ji-Yeon who was being bullied.

“Oh, Hyun-suk! It’s been a long time since you called!”
The man smoked as he spoke. “What happened all this time? Let’s have a drink.”
Park Hyun-suk and he were close friends for quite some time now.
Although Park Hyun-suk had been promoted to a second-class hunter while he remained in third-class, their friendship did not fade.
They often met up to chat and exchange drinks.
“No, not that.”
“Then, why?”
“I have a cadet who asked me if I can lend him a measuring instrument.”
The man shook his head. “Well, the academy measuring equipment would be enough for a cadet, so why does he need to borrow ours?”
“He said he re-awakened.”
“… Re-awakening?”
“Uh, right.”
“In re-awakening, skills increase fast … Perhaps, it’s more accurate to do it with our own than to measure it with academy equipment.”
“Right.”
The man was an active third-class hunter, but he also belonged to a guild and played a scout role.
They were in a position to use measuring equipment at will. Their professional equipment was incomparable to that of the Academy’s.
“Well, since you asked, I’ll do it.”
“Yes, yes.”
Whoo …
The man smoked once more as he listened to Hyun-suk speak further.
“Well, I’m a little worried that he asked… how would you feel if a kid you were never interested in suddenly asks you to lend him a measuring instrument?”
Chijik.
He dropped the cigarette on the floor.
“Well, if we go and measure him…”
The man stepped on the end of the cigarette, putting it out before he continued.
“If you see that you should advance him… we don’t have enough kids to use these days in the Guild.”
After the conversation with Hyun-suk ended, the man started to make another call.
“Uh. Do you have a meter over there? And a gel used to apply? Yeah, just put it in my name, there won’t be a problem…”
This turn of events was intriguing.
