Chapter 35
“Woo… … Whoa… … .”
And Kim Jin-hyuk was walking toward the Babel Tower with a nervous expression.
His clothes are more neat than usual and his eyes shake as he gets closer to the Babel Tower. Kang Yoo-sik, who was walking next to him, laughed at his rigid appearance.
“If someone sees you, they might think you’re going to fight. Relax.”
“I know, but… … It’s not easy knowing that I’m going to see the head of the school… … .”
Although Kang Yoo-sik thought he was overreacting, He understood to some extent that Kim Jin-hyuk was nervous.
Yoon Kang-hyun. Seongjin’s director of the academy, and a former S-class hunter who established a remarkable contribution by widely recognizing the name of a holy knight in the early days of the chaotic gate.
It’s been more than 10 years ago, but he is still the hero whose performance is still talked about among hunters.
Since he was invited to Yoon Kang-Hyun’s office, Kim Jin-hyuk, who is still a novice, must be nervous.
‘It’s because I met him before, otherwise, I would have been pretty nervous.’
It was in the past that he was a well-known hunter, but the fact that he is Sungjin’s highest authority is currently ongoing, so he can’t help but be nervous.
This is because he has the most power out of anyone else, at least inside Sungjin.
‘I would like to receive a card that allows me to move around a little at this opportunity… … .’
There should be a way to convince him. While Kang Yoo-sik pondered, two people arrived at Babel Tower.
“welcome. Cadet Knag Yoo-sik. Cadet Kim Jin-hyuk.”
Yoon Hee-jin greets with a smile from the desk. Kim Jin-hyuk was very nervous at the look, and Kang Yoo-sik naturally nodded.
“The school director is waiting. Come this way.”
After passing the gate, they got into the elevator, and Yoon Hee-jin brought the employee ID to the terminal and began to go up to the unmarked floor.
By the time I thought the pace was a little faster than usual. The elevator door opened, revealing the corridor.
Luxurious red wallpaper on a pure white marble floor. The interior is more colorful than they thought, with ornaments on display everywhere.
When Kang Yoo-sik looked puzzled at the landscape that is the opposite of Yoon Kang-Hyun’s personality, he looked at Yoon Hee-jin looking at their reaction.
‘Oh yeah. It’s Yoon Heejin’s favor.’
No wasting, but no saving.
Anyway, it will be a place that she will inherit later, and it must have been designed on behalf of Yoon Kang-hyun, who has no intention of decorating.
After recognizing the situation, Kang Yoo-sik cleared his throat and naturally opened his mouth as if admiring.
“Hmm… … Who designed this interior?”
“… … Is there anything wrong with it?”
“No. I think you have very good sense. If I have to do the interior in the future, I would definitely ask for it.”
In fact, it wasn’t a very bad level, so Kang Yoo-sik praised it with half sincerity, and Yoon Hee-jin’s mouth fluttered very slightly.
“Is that so? I thought it was a little too flashy… … .”
“Everything that is colorful depends on who uses it. I think it’s just right if it’s like Sungjin’s head of the academy.”
“… … I see.”
Yoon Hee-jin, who seemed to have a slight smile on her mouth, turned her head, closed her mouth for a while, and added quietly.
“I’ll check it out and let you know later.”
“Yes. Please.”
While they were talking, they reached the front of the school director’s office, and Yoon Hee-jin lightly knocked on the door.
“The school director. Cadets Kang Yoo-sik and Kim Jin-hyuk came.”
“Let them in.”
With the permission of Yoon Kang-Hyun, Yoon Hee-jin opened the door of the director’s office, and the scenery inside was revealed.
Brown carpets throughout the room and a huge wooden table in the center. From the ceiling, the chandelier shone softly, and bookshelves with old books lined up on the wall.
Even if you simply glanced over it, the interior goes well beyond billions. It would be tremendous if you added the value of the unrecognized maker, the untitled book on the bookshelf, and the skill book.
‘Sungjin should be Sungjin’
It’s only the result has not been discovered yet, but it must have already taken the top spot in the world.
When Kang Yoo-sik was admiring the appearance of the school director’s office, Yoon Kang-hyun, who was at work, got up from his seat and approached.
“It’s good to see you. I’m Yoon Kang-hyun.”
“I’m Kang Yoo-sik from the silver class. Thank you for the invitation. Director of the school.”
“I am Ki… Kim Jin-hyuk from si.. silver class! thank you for the invitation… … !”
Kang Yoo-sik naturally shook hands with Yoon Kang-hyun’s hand, and Kim Jin-hyuk stiffly shook hands.
After seeing each other’s introductions, Yoon Hee-jin quietly closed the door and went out, while Yoon Kang-hyun pointed to the sofa and table next to each other.
“Let’s sit down and talk.”
Kang Yoo-sik and Kim Jin-hyuk sat on the sofa side by side, and Yoon Gang-hyun took a seat on the other side.
Kim Jin-hyuk was not sure what to do when he sat face to face with Yoon Kang-hyun, so he rolled his eyes around, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at him while maintaining a moderately tense posture.
Yoon Kang-hyun, who looked at the two of them with interest, slowly opened his mouth when the atmosphere was settled.
“Yesterday’s monster fight test. Both of you looked interesting. It was so excellent that it was incomparable to the entrance exam.”
“Thank you.”
“Tha.. thank you!”
The start is not bad. Kang Yoo-sik looked at it with expectation, and Yoon Kang-hyun made eye contact and talked.
“The skill that beat Twin Earth Turtle’s howling. Did you develop it on your own??”
“Yes, that’s right.”
In reality, it is a skill that will be made in about 10 years, but it was not clear who made it in the distant future anyway, so Kang Yoo-sik answered confidently.
“A counterattack through the reverse wavelength that rises with the opponent’s wavelength. The power was also powerful, but its versatility was particularly great.”
“If it’s too complicated, the meaning of the counter fades.”
Yoon Kang-hyun, who nodded as if agreeing, looked at it with an interesting expression.
“And the linkage of the spear created by flame and Lightning Excel. You were also good at combining multiple skills and magics. Is it multicasting?”
“Yes.”
“indeed. You’ve learned a good general-purpose skill.”
Basically, skills are divided into two types: “enlightenment skills” acquired through training and “engraved skills” acquired through skill books.
While the former enlightenment type is determined by the potential and effort of the person, the engraved can be learned by anyone with a skill book containing the skill.
For that reason, in the past, if a high-grade skill book came out from a dimensional piece, there were many cases where it was learned recklessly, but these days, such cases have decreased.
No matter how good the skill was, it could cause a crash depending on the effect.
‘Cha Si-hyun was both an enlightenment type skill, but there’s such a bad case.’
Coordinator and cognitive maximization. Thanks to the two skills, my sense was better than anyone else, but my actions were often restricted by it.
Therefore, it is best to acquire a skill with high versatility to accept any skill rather than an extreme skill these days.
‘If you think about it in that aspect, the Soul Sword was also quite extreme.’
In the days of the Iron Holy Sword, the difference in Kim Jin-hyuk’s fighting ability was almost doubled when he lifted his sword and when he did not.
The technical know-how was the same, but the power was greatly reduced because he was not strengthened through skills.
‘It was a shame that he used only a sword for a weapon.’
Using a good sword would offset his shortcomings, but if he had been able to use various weapons, Kim Jin-hyuk would have been several times stronger than that before returning.
‘Well, it can’t be helped because it’s a unique skill… … .’
What could he do when it’s his own fate. When Kang Yoo-sik was thinking like that, Yoon Kang-hyun, who finished the talk, praised Kim Jin-hyuk this time.
“The monster’s choice was a bit reckless, but the blow that reversed the situation at the last minute was very good. Was the skill you used then a Deadly Counter?”
“Yes! That’s right!”
“Indeed. And it looked like something was mixed there, but did you use other skills together?”
“What? Well… … I used Foreseeing 3 Steps and Accelerated Avoidance.”
In response to Kim Jin-hyuk’s answer, Yoon Kang-hyun made a slightly vague expression.
“It seems that technical skills were added rather than such avoidance skills… … .”
Yoon Kang-hyun pondered whether he had recognized the part of the Soul Sword, and soon looked at Kang Yoo-sik.
“I heard yesterday that you taught cadet Kim Jin-hyuk.”
“I did a little bit of fighting rather than teaching.”
“Sometimes you can get more through fighting.”
Yoon Kang-hyun noticed that Kang Yoo-sik tried to avoid the answer and asked.
“Have you ever felt anything special to cadet Kim Jin-hyuk in the fight?”
“Well… … .”
Kang Yoo-sik pondered for a moment how to answer Yoon Kang-hyun’s question. He didn’t like Kim Jin-hyuk getting attention, but as long as it’s like this, he decided to use it.
Kang Yoo-sik, who decided to answer appropriately, replied with a slightly cautious attitude.
“I’m not sure but… … I have been feeling that there is something special about Jinhyuk.”
“… … really?”
Kim Jin-hyuk, who thought it was only a compliment, asked with a surprised expression, and Kang Yoo-sik looked at the two and talked.
“Of course, it’s my personal opinion… … Maybe it’s a sign before the skill is acquired.”
“Which means… … .”
Kang Yoo-sik nodded at Yoon Kang-hyun’s surprised look.
“Yes. Probably a unique skill.”
Skills that show signs before being acquired. In this world, such skills are only unique skills.
By Kang Yoo-sik’s story, Yoon Kang-hyun had a look that was as expected, and Kim Jin-hyuk looked at it with his mouth gaped.
A unique skill that only a few hunters have. It would be a natural reaction because he heard rumors that he might have had it.
“What kind of skill do you think it will be?”
Yoon Kang-hyun continues to ask questions even though he has already got the desired answer. The expression is so cold that it is difficult to recognize, but Kang Yoo-sik read the interest in his eyes.
‘This… … I think he’s trying to see the insight.’
Yesterday’s test. Yoon Kang-hyun saw not only Kim Jin-hyuk, but also Lee Byung-ho in the gold class, and that Lee Byung-ho also had a tremendous feature after receiving advice from him.
What would you think if you saw such a scene?
‘He will see me as a person similar to Nam Gung-ryun.’
A person who has the ability to see the potential of others or help them grow.
An educational institution, Sungjin Academy desperately needed such talent, and Kang Yoo-sik is meeting the conditions.
‘Good.’
It wasn’t intended, but it was taken in the desired direction.
Kang Yoo-sik, who smiled inside, thought carefully for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“I don’t know what skill it is yet… … Hopefully, I’ll be able to catch a hint.”
“How come?”
“It’s about trying different weapons.”
Yoon Kang-hyun and Kim Jin-hyuk looked at Kang Yoo-sik with puzzled expressions.
“Using different weapons?”
“When he used a sword, I often felt a sense of difference, but when he used martial arts, I had never felt such a feeling. That means it could be a skill related to the weapon he’s using.”
“Hmm… … .”
“So, by using different weapons, we can see which weapon reveals the effect and at the same time see if it affects the combat style.”
Although he already knew that it was a talent for swords, Kang Yoo-sik deliberately delayed the timing of his awakening.
This is because Yoon Kang-hyun’s attention should be on him until he gets a good condition from him.
‘But it will be over in the first semester, so be patient.’
The skill is supposed to be awakened by second grade, but I advanced it to the first semester so I don’t have to be sorry.
“Hmm… … .”
“Different weapons… … .”
Yoon Kang-hyun made an interesting expression, and Kim Jin-hyuk looked down at his hand with a blank expression.
When there is such a strange silence. Suddenly Yoon Kang-hyun woke up from the seat.
“Please wait a moment.”
Yoon Kang-hyun headed to the table and pulled out a chart from the drawer, and soon returned to the table and put it on the table.
“It’s a list of skill books on that bookshelf.”
“… … Huh?”
Yoon Kang-hyun talked calmly to embarrassed Kim Jin-hyuk’s question.
“Both of you choose what you want, one of each.”
