I Got the Academy Morale Rune - I Got the Academy Morale Rune chapter 26

EP.26 Lizard Lair (3)

The higher the level of the holder, the wider the gap.

It is easy to climb from an E-class holder to a D-class holder, but it is almost impossible to rise from a B-class holder to an A-class holder in a short period of time unless it is a skill to obtain a legendary rune.

Years of hard work, achievements, and talent.

When these three beats match.

Advancement to a higher rank is possible.

Therefore, from grade C or higher, the gap between holders often widens even for the same grade.

“… … .”

It has been less than half a year since Kang Ju-yeon became a B-class holder.

With his overflowing talents and outstanding skills, he reached B-class, but…

It was true that there were many shortcomings compared to other B-class holders in terms of career, performance, and practical experience as a holder.

Kang Joo-yeon knows that fact better than anyone.

Attack the Academy Underground Dungeon.

I accepted Do Jae-hyun’s unexpected proposal.

Not only because he was concerned, but because Kang Ju-yeon herself decided that she needed to gain more experience.

The entrance to the dungeon, where the C-class monster Lizardman mainly appears, was a safe and appropriate hunting ground for Kang Joo-yeon.

Read at noblemtl.net

Jeon Jeon named Do Jae-hyeon, Kang Joo-yeon, and Moon Ga-eun’s sure dealing.

This classic and concise combination was a great help to Kang Joo-yeon, who had done quite a bit of party planning in the past.

The actual battle has always been a good combat experience for the holder.

‘By the way… ‘

After increasing party members.

From the moment I entered the middle part, a B-class monster suddenly appeared.

Toxin iguana.

A lizard-type monster that emits intense poison based on its high speed.

To be honest, there is no problem with one or two B-class monsters.

Right now, even the Sizzling Salamander, who was a B-class monster recently, was renamed after Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun’s attack.

However, this is a dungeon, and the monsters in the dungeon can move in groups as much as they want.

The fact that powerful monsters move in groups always creates variables.

And the variable in battle.

It was a dangerous concept that could lead to death in the moment holder.

‘… It’s not easy.’

Kang Joo-yeon looked at the magic that had gathered at her fingertips.

A derivative skill of [Magic Control], [Magic Shield].

The main defense skills of high-ranking wizard-type holders.

When the toxin iguana unleashes a toxin attack of conversion.

Kang Joo-yeon tried to stop him through [Magic Shield].

However, the defensive skills that were created late, while being careless, rapidly deteriorated.

Perhaps the unfinished [Magic Shield] was torn helplessly and allowed the poison to reach Juyeon Kang.

… The man who blocked himself in front of him.

If it wasn’t for Do Jaehyun.

“… … .”

Kang Joo-yeon looked at Do Jae-hyun without saying a word.

He took a seat on one side of the dungeon and sat down.

He was treating his body with stamina potions and antidote.

“Hey, can you tell me how you did it? How can you jump forward so quickly in that situation?”

“There is a way, dude.”

“Aren’t you going to tell me rudely?”

“Then how did you get so tall in a week?”

“What? That can’t be said.”

“What are you doing with me?”

Do Jae-hyeon was exchanging useless words with Park Jin-woo as usual.

It was as if the previous battle was nothing special.

He was like that from the first impression.

He didn’t get excited about the win, he didn’t lose his composure.

He was always calm and was not swayed by variables.

It was for that reason that he continued to remain in Kang Joo-yeon’s memory.

‘Say… I have to tell you.’

Something…

sorry or thank you

I should have said that, but it passed so quickly that I couldn’t say anything.

Kang Joo-yeon was always concerned about that.

She turned her gaze for a moment and looked around Do Jae-hyun.

Ga-eun Moon was listening to their conversation with a smile as if the two men’s comics were funny, and Chae-eun Kim…

… It’s like being a caregiver.

He was sitting next to Do Jae-hyun, wiping his sweat.

“… … ?”

Why are you doing that?

Kang Joo-yeon didn’t quite understand.

… annoying

It’s hard to explain exactly, but something bothered me.

The last time I said thank you, and the dungeon raid this time as well.

Kim Chae-eun had the talent to subtly offend Kang Joo-yeon.

‘… … .’

He was very quiet, so I didn’t notice it.

Somehow, somehow I don’t know.

It felt like there was one more thing I was worried about.

* * *

Our party’s hunting became more efficient as time went on.

The toxin iguana that terribly tormented us during our first hunt.

They also hunted repeatedly, so they had a knack for catching them.

“Park Jin-woo!”

“Oh!”

When I give the signal, Jinwoo Park runs forward.

I quickly caught up behind him and launched a melee attack as if covering.

This is the hunting method we envisioned.

The toxin iguana is a monster with a small body and excellent speed.

Therefore, if they tried to hunt each other as if they were dealing with Lizardmen, they would rather be defeated and the dealers could be in danger.

‘Then we can fight one-on-one.’

That’s why I thought it was a date format.

Park Jin-woo first deals with monsters as if tanking at the forefront, and I quickly take over the toxin iguana that attacks afterward.

It is a hunting method that requires high speed and reaction speed, but my body that achieved speed 30 and [sleek movement] was able to do that.

[You have won the duel! With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can duplicate one of your opponent’s runes. Since the opponent has only one rune, duplicate that rune.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Acquires 1 Durability with rune inclination.]

[The poison gets thicker as time goes on. Your understanding of poison is further increased.]

[The rune level has risen.]

[Acquires 1 Poison Resistance with Rune Propensity.]

Thanks to this, growth also had no rest.

[Poisonous] rune that grows excitedly by meeting poison-related monsters.

The rune level has already reached level 4, and the poison resistance has been recorded at 7.

At this point, I did not feel much pain even if I was hit directly by the poison of the toxin iguana.

Not only that.

The [Sturdy Tooth] rune was also obtained.

[Sturdy Teeth] is a rare rune that strengthens the teeth of the body parts to provide strong support when biting the opponent.

When biting with its teeth, it has a special effect that cuts the opponent’s durability by half and inflicts damage.

That’s why my [Being hard] was pierced by the first one.

‘Honestly, I don’t really need it… .’

As a human I seldom use it.

My main weapons are swords and daggers.

Unless I fight with [Fighting] as my main rune, it was difficult for me to grow [Strong Teeth].

However, it is better to have runes unconditionally.

It supports your abilities right away, and like [Strength], you never know when and under what circumstances it will be effective.

In addition, since I have the lowest durability among the main stats, runes that support durability are precious.

Due to the 3rd level of [Sturdy Tooth], he has already obtained a durability value of 3.

Thanks to this, the strength and speed exceed 30, and the durability exceeds 20.

This is enough for a C-class holder…

It was the ability and rune level that would be classified as an advanced class in the academy.

“Do you think you got them all?”

“Look carefully. Don’t hurt me by looking sloppy again like last time.”

“Oh, really. Is that Moon Ga-eun’s fault?”

Park Jin-woo pounded his chest as if it was unfair.

I giggled and smiled at Moon Ga-eun.

“Do you think there are more?”

“Wait a moment.”

She used [Dolphin’s Sound Waves] once again.

Moon Ga-eun quietly closes her eyes and places her hand on the floor.

from her calm expression.

It felt like there was no more monster than this.

“About two sizzling salamanders? But it’s too far from us. You have to go back to catch it.”

As expected.

The Sizzling Salamander was a monster that haunted the underground dungeon.

One of the monsters that lived here broke through the [Magic Barrier] and appeared inside the academy due to some kind of magical phenomenon.

Toxin iguana and sizzling salamander.

Two B-class monsters famous for being strong in the lizard family…

He was the main monster in the middle of the underground dungeon.

We dealt with all these tricky beasts, and we finally got to the end of the middle here.

The final step that will probably follow next is the Boss Room.

There was a high probability that it was the room where the owner of the dungeon lived.

“It’s kind of like going back.”

“yes. Because it takes too much time. There is no gain in catching two more here.”

“Jooyeon Kang, what do you think?”

I turned my head and looked at Kang Joo-yeon.

Although there are actual leaders who have led this party, the strongest holder among our party members is Kang Ju-yeon.

Before entering the last boss room.

I wanted to hear her opinion as a B-class holder.

But Kang Joo-yeon bowed her head slightly.

said in a low voice.

“… Do what you like.”

Why are you doing this, terrifying?

Kang Joo-yeon is so innocent.

I’m not the one who even gives an ‘answer’… .

I scratched my head and looked around the party members.

If only Kang Joo-yeon was ok, everything else seemed to follow my opinion.

“Then everyone knows it’s ready, so let’s go right in?”

“yes!”

“Let’s go… !!”

The last of the Academy Underground Dungeon.

The boss room is called the flower of dungeon capture.

In that unknown space that had never appeared in the original.

It was finally time to enter.

[You have entered the boss room.]

[The destructive energy of Grizzly Drake is hovering. The holder’s speed and strength decrease.]

And we are in the boss room.

I was able to meet the king of the end of this damn lizard lair.
