Chapter 13: The Ogre in the Pocket (2)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
‘You’ve discovered a precious gem.’
Guild scouter Kim Yeo-Joon from the ‘Explorer’s Eye’ found it difficult to shake off his bewilderment.
‘Is that really a cadet’s sword?’
The sword that Jeong Si-woo held was a piece of art.
The movement generated from its flow was a fascinating dance.
The momentum surging in each strike was as deadly as that of a deadly killer.
However, the master craft was only forged at the last grain of the hourglass.
It was not a cadet’s sword. It was more in resemblance to an experienced hunter’s blade.
No, maybe it was even better.
Even though his strength was inadequate, the skill with which he possessed it made it mesmerizing.
Probably a cadet who has been training his sword since childhood.
“It’s reached a level that I won’t venture to dare guess his training .”
Nevertheless, his efforts were not wasted.
Kim Yeo-Joon smiled.
He cannot know.
It’s only been a day since Jeong Si-woo started wielding a sword in earnestness. Not 24 hours had passed since he pledged to train his sword…
“Oh, have you waited long?”
“No. I came here early. I thought it would take a while.”
“Haha…You’ve exceeded your appointment time quite a bit. Sorry.”
“Well, since this is the first time, you must be anxious. I understand. When I first met with a guild official, I was so nervous. I had to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes…”
“Yes, I’m a little nervous.”
Jeong Si-woo also smiled.
* * *
“Do you know my reason for coming here? Were you listening to Officer Park?”
“Yeah. You are here to help me with precision measurements.”
Kim Yeo-Joon nodded in agreement.
“I told you that we need our instruments for the reawakening test. Officer Park was an old colleague, and I had a plan to find an academy, so I came immediately.”
“Alas…”
“So, do you know how to measure? It may take time because the measurement method is more difficult than the academy device.”
“Wait.”
“I’m not going to measure. I don’t think that’s necessary.”
“Yes?”
Hearing my response made him go blank.
“I thought a lot about this as I listened to instructor Park Hyun-suk. The first awakening ability was revealed with ease, but is it necessary to make precise measurements of the reawakened ability? It’s already written in detail on the status, should I act upon what the record entails?”
“… ”
“I thought that the hunters’ only enemies were monsters. No one appeared like an enemy when I possessed only one trait, but now there are people I have to watch out for.”
I looked at the scouter and said,
“As with dealing with monsters, information is quintessential when fighting someone. I do not know who will take the form of an enemy. It’s easier for me to maintain statistics on my own abilities.”
“Our ‘Explorer’s Eye’ guild boasts the highest level of information power and superior security. In that respect, you don’t have to worry.”
“Haha, it’s not time yet.”
Till I have honed my strength, no one can know my status.
He gave an embittered smile.
“This ability uplifted my state from a failed crisis to a full score, but I have to hide it until I am more capable.”
“Well, until then, I can’t help you.”
My continued refusal stopped Kim Yeo-Joon from further persuasion.
He got acquainted with my stubbornness.
“This was unforeseen. Do you intend to get ‘sponsored’?”
“Sponsored?”
He formulated a whole new offer.
“Yes. You might be weak now but even without any measurements I can see you are a man of exceptional talent.”
[He’s dallying. How did he judge your talent by a look? At most, your swordsmanship perhaps. He must have guessed your physical talent. Shhh…]
The traveler bit his tongue.
I pondered over what Kim Yeo-Joon said.
‘Sponsorship.’
The term ‘cadet’ is not officiated to be contracted with the guild or the government; it was only meant to support the cadet before graduation.
‘What…It seems viable to get sponsored.’
Perhaps, the only reason Park Hyun-suk contacted this person was to make sponsorship available to me.
Having a network is crucial. Without knowing the right people, you could be wasting away years of potential in preparing for the hunter’s test.
I had made an appointment with a person inside the guild; doing things the right way seems correct.
Making quick capital was at my disposal, but now I knew better.
It would prove difficult to monopolize the artifacts and elixirs waiting to be discovered in my current state.
There was no one to trust anyway; it is more appropriate to rely on myself.
*tick tock*
My fingers oscillated from the air to the desk, the desk to the air.
“I have to contemplate the offer. It’s not a matter of concern as this is the sponsor.”
When I mentioned taking more time, Kim Yeo-Joon became stern.
“It’s considerate to think about the contract, yes, but the sponsor…”
“Oh yes…maybe.”
I stopped him there abruptly.
One concern popped up in my mind.
‘The timing is on point…Even the hunter before me is part of the Explorer’s Eyes, right?’
This was precisely what happened at this time.
If the Explorer’s Eyes are involved, I don’t know if I’ll do much.
Anyhow, with time, the money will start pouring like rain. No matter how much you support artifacts or armor, it’s just children’s toys compared to what I know.
If so, it was not possible, anyways.
It would be convenient to take care of my personal needs right now.
“Can one be sponsored for participation in an expedition by the Explorer’s Eyes in the form of a field trip?”
For instance, safely intervene in a crack that nobody knew of.
It’s like catching a monster with an enormous ‘treasure’ lurking in it.
* * *
[Why does this guy talk so much]
“You must have liked that. Somehow I was attempting to speak things that related.”
[Whatever honeyed words were spoken, the gravity of a spoken word was only charged with the presence of the one who said it. This man was so small.]
“What…that’s right.”
Even if a first-level hunter fell on his knees and begged for it, they didn’t budge.
A third-class hunter’s scouter was only appealing when he took hold of the form.
‘But if it helps me, level 3 or level 1 doesn’t really matter.’
Pity.
I laughed as when I went through the sponsorship form in my hand.
Kim Yeo-Joon’s face was vivid in my memory.
It may not be long before I get contacted by him.
There was a simple strategy. Would you like to participate in a field trip?
The incident seemed insignificant at first.
I could acquire a lot of things if I cut in.
Jiik.
I looked up the < Explorer’s Eye-Evil Spirit Pit > in the notebook.
Then, I wrote down the somewhat regretful memories.
T-ring!
An alert popped up on the student’s laptop.
When I opened the laptop, a community window for academy students came up.
Messenger?
Was there a function like this?
I didn’t know about it because I didn’t have anyone to contact or anything to receive.
There was a familiar name.
-Yoo Ji-Yeon: Si-woo, can I ask you a favor?
“Request?”
Did you have something to ask Yoo Ji-Yeon?
I thought and replied.
-Jeong Si-woo: Uh, tell me.
T-ring!
Within a few seconds, a reply arrived.
-Yoo Ji-Yeon: You gave me some advice during the actual evaluation. It was beneficial then. I’ve been trying to do it myself, but I keep getting stuck … Can you repeat it for me?
It was an easy request.
-Jeong Siwoo: Yes. I’ll see you next week.
-Yoo Ji-Yeon: Oh, really? Thanks, I’ll buy rice!
Either way, I had to raise the bond to its peak, so it would be better to spend as much time as possible with Yoo Ji-Yeon.
It would be nice to meet up and spend some time with her.
[It’s a good time.]
“Ah, yes. It’s just a good time. Youth.”
[I wasn’t expecting such a reaction.]
He conjured up a face at my remark.
[Are you unsure of what happened earlier? I would have returned to the training field and swung the sword to see if it remained.]
“Ah. I’m going to go there sometime later today. My energy is completely depleted.”
I replied with a smile.
Perhaps it’s the habit of travelers to speak.
[The Valorya Empire’s Valorous Knights once acknowledged you.]
[There is some experience in the swordsmanship.]
[‘Sword (E)’ grows to ‘Sword (D)’]
[‘Fencing (D)’ changes to ‘Imperial Fencing (F)’]
[If you are once more recognized by the ‘Balstaya Empire’s Valorous Knights’, ‘Imperial Swordsmanship’ changes to ‘Valstaya Empire Swordsmanship’.]
[Through ‘Communication and Sharing’, I fell in love with an amazingly high immersion.]
[‘The soul’s price’ is partially elevated.]
Newly obtained, ‘Imperial Fencing’.
I was curious, but now the power to wield a stick, not black, was lacking.
[Yeah, be comfortable. Anyway, today’s training is over.]
After that, I fell asleep.
“No, traveler.”
[Why?]
“This is ridiculous.”
As soon as I woke up, I visited the training ground in the early hours, holding my sword and bursting into laughter.
[What is absurd? The new fencing is so bad? This can happen. Swordsmanship is not enough for Imperial Swordsmanship.]
The traveler failed to understand my reaction. He stuck his tongue out.
“It’s not like that…”
The traveler made me scratch my head. I took one gaze at the sword and struck the practice dummy.
Spatula.
Mook. Tuuk.
My practice dummy disappeared halfway through the training of my ‘training sword’.
“I think it’s worthwhile to stick with the prosecutors of the academy’s graduate school now.”
F-rank ‘Imperial Swordsmanship’.
Its power was beyond what I had imagined.
『Your sword has no power.』
Of course, the knight felt the power was still feeble and needed to rise to a higher rank.
“That’s enough? Can you cut down the knights covered in steel armor?”
“No. Not this much.”
I thought it better to reply with an air of expectancy, rather than going on a rant.
Not enough steel. Any object vulnerable to be sliced can be killed with a sword.
I agree with him.
I need more strength.
‘At least, when you are initiated into the Explorer’s Eyes, your skills will not go to waste.’
We have prepared a countermeasure in case of a crisis.
The more you save, the better.
Kwok.
I held the sword with greater force and swung it again.
The enemies summoned in my imagination this time weren’t like the knights adorned in black armor.
-Whoa!
Companions who have always been together; People who had grown apart.
I was more comfortable in my hometown than anywhere else.
Families who were more precious than anything else.A world full of people.
And the end of my life.
The catastrophe that swallowed everything up.
I imagined monsters in front of my sword.
“Hoo!”
And.
[You have once again been acknowledged by the ‘Balstaya Empire’s Valorous Knights’.]
[‘Balstaya The Valorous Knights of the Empire’ acknowledged your bravery and fighting spirit.]
[‘Skill’-‘Balstaya Empire Fencing (F)’ is created.]
[‘Imperial swordsmanship (F)’ is incorporated into ‘Balstaya Imperial Swordsmanship (F)’]
[‘Balstaya Imperial Swordsmanship grows from (F) → (E)’]
[I was so deeply immersed in the story.]
[You have reached a certain level of ties with ‘The Valorous Empire’s Valorous Knights’]
[Now you can activate ‘Balstaya Empire’s Brave Knights’ and ‘Link’.]
[All physical abilities increase significantly.]
That day, I was acknowledged once more.
