I Got the Academy Morale Rune

Chapter 17

EP.17 Academy Underground Dungeon (2)

“… … .”

Inside the Academy Cafe.

We put coffee in front of each other.

I sat in suffocating silence.

I have something to say, but my mouth doesn’t fall out.

… In fact, I didn’t even know that I would be able to talk right away.

Recruiting colleagues to go to the Academy Underground Dungeon.

Kang Joo-yeon was selected as the suitable person, and I visited her.

However, I never thought that I would be able to sit and talk with her like this after the first attempt.

I know her personality that is so hard and cold, and that makes her even colder to low-level holders.

However, no matter what the wind was blowing, Kang Joo-yeon lightly accepted my request for a little time.

Park Jin-woo, in the original version, also closed the number 10 and was only able to have a conversation on the 11th, but it was something strange that he succeeded immediately after the first time.

Anyway, this is the situation now.

It was cafe time that took my breath away.

“that… ”

“… Ugh. say, say.”

It’s a start again.

You barely open your mouth.

Again the whispers are heard.

The second reason for not being able to keep conversations flexible.

The table next to us.

Moon Ga-eun is wearing a certain hat tightly.

It was because they were spying on me and Kang Joo-yeon.

Besides, with a face full of anticipation for something, whenever I said something, he talked to himself and made a fuss.

… Do you think you won’t be able to see it that way?

He sighed inwardly and said.

“First of all, let me introduce myself, I’m Do Jae-hyeon, who is in the intermediate class. I don’t know you well, but I took that class together, and the last time I caught a monster… ”

“know.”

“… uh?”

“I know, Do Jaehyun.”

Does Kang Joo-yeon know me?

why?

Then I found it strange.

Jinwoo Park also managed to have a conversation by hanging on number 11, but the fact that I came to the cafe at once and talked with her.

Was it impressive that we met during the last monster incident?

… To be honest, I think I only showed what I was getting beaten up.

It would have been impressive if it was quite impressive.

Anyway, if you knew me, the story would have been easier.

I erased the look of embarrassment and continued speaking quickly.

“Then, let’s go ahead and get right to the point.”

Now is the time to really talk about it.

“What I’m going to talk about now is because it’s an important topic that shouldn’t be leaked anywhere else… Is it okay if I promise to keep a secret no matter what happens?”

“… … .”

The content of the Academy Underground Dungeon is a story that must be kept strictly secret.

It is something that should never be leaked elsewhere.

Taking that into consideration, my demanding request.

Kang Joo-yeon nodded slowly.

She is a proud elite.

No matter what the circumstances, whoever the opponent is, he never makes things that his pride does not allow.

I asked him to keep the secret from the beginning, and it is probably something that Kang Joo-yeon’s pride does not allow to break him, regardless of the content.

I feel like things are getting a little easier.

I brought out the reports I had prepared.

“Would you like to take a look at this?”

Exploration report on the Academy Underground Dungeon.

A simple structure of the dungeon and the monster that appeared at the entrance.

And it contained very little attacking knowledge.

Kang Joo-yeon, who was slowly reading the report, had a strange expression on her face.

He seemed to know what it was at once.

There was a twinkle in her eyes.

I lowered my voice even further.

“I would have figured it out, but… It’s a special dungeon located somewhere inside the academy. It is also an undiscovered dungeon that has never been revealed.”

Kang Joo-yeon studied the report meticulously.

Since the report was written by Professor Wonho Tak after a temporary field trip, there was a lot of missing information, but it was a good guide for those who needed to explore something completely new.

Without turning around, I came to the conclusion straight away.

“I will say it outright. Jooyeon Kang, I want you to explore that dungeon together as my colleague. I accidentally had a reason to explore that dungeon, but honestly, my abilities are not enough.”

The undiscovered dungeon is a paradise for holders full of special rewards, but if you do not reach the level to attack him, it will only become a miserable place.

I still lacked the strength to attack the underground dungeon by myself.

Kang Joo-yeon was absolutely necessary for this attack.

“A dungeon attack?”

“yes. As you can see from the report, the monsters that appear at the beginning are mainly C-class Lizardmen. It is a monster with high strength and weak to magical attacks. So if I stand in the front and hold out, and you give me magic support from behind… I think it will be easier to attack than you think.”

To be honest.

It is like declaring that you will take the bus.

If it’s a wizard-type holder like her, it’s at a level that can be active alone, regardless of whoever stands in the front.

But at times like this, I had to be arrogant.

Anyway, Kang Joo-yeon can’t even start attacking this dungeon without me…

Anyway, it was a win-win.

Kang Joo-yeon hesitated for a moment at my resolute words and then asked.

“… Why me?”

“uh?”

“There are many other holders. But why… ”

“… … .”

Am I really asking because I don’t know?

A B-class holder with the most outstanding skills among his peers.

He is someone who is unconditionally needed just for that title right now, but he has a strong self-esteem and a heavy mouth because he came from an elite.

She probably never.

I will not tell anyone about the dungeon.

A person who will silently attack without getting involved in external factors.

Among those around him, there was only Kang Joo-yeon.

“During the last monster incident, the magic you showed was very impressive. A magic that blows even B-class monsters away in one shot… I saw it for the first time. And he’s the strongest in the first year, recognized by everyone. If you go with a strong person, the attack becomes a little easier. Assuming that you have to attack this dungeon with someone, Jooyeon Kang. All I can think of is you.”

But unlike the stuffy inner feelings.

The reason why it sounded plausible came out of my mouth.

I was also quite desperate.

Without Kang Joo-yeon, it may not be possible to attack the dungeon.

Almost as if giving a PPT presentation in the previous world.

soft and neat.

Then he lifted her up a little and explained.

Fortunately, my enthusiasm was paid off.

Kang Joo-yeon also nodded her head with a slightly embarrassed face.

But suddenly a name came out of her mouth.

“… How about Kim Chae-eun?”

“Yes?”

Why is Kim Chae-eun here?

no.

How did Kang Joo-yeon know Kim Chae-eun in the first place?

But it doesn’t seem like much.

Soon, Kang Joo-yeon’s head shook.

“No, no. I’ll do that. Dungeon attack.”

“uh? really?!”

“yes.”

Acceptance that fell too lightly.

But the incentive to do so was pretty clear.

Since it is Kang Joo-yeon who finds the academy life boring and the classes boring, the fresh wind of secret dungeon attack was not enough to make her move.

‘done.’

I clenched my fists and shouted inwardly.

The first button for attacking the underground dungeon was properly tied.

Now, just set a date and get approval from Professor Tak Won-ho and you’re done.

It was the start of the first dungeon attack we had been waiting for.

But doesn’t it mean that things don’t go the way you want them to?

One variable appeared before us.

“I will do that too!”

Ga-eun Moon raises her hand next to her with a bright smile.

She was spying on us from afar, but she came all the way here to share the conversation.

‘You wrote the runes.’

Knowing Gaeun Moon’s runes and skills roughly, I intuited it.

She has a rare rune.

With the skill contained in the [Dolphin’s Sound Wave] rune.

It was evident that he had enlarged his hearing.

It was my laxity that could not definitely drop Moon Ga-eun.

‘But isn’t it bad?’

Although there were unexpected variables.

Surprisingly, Moon Ga-eun’s joining is not bad.

A warrior class that will take the lead, and a wizard class that will support the rear.

If an archer who plays the role of a ranger and occasionally does support attacks was added, it was a perfect three-person party.

Rather, it was more complete than the party we were going to have alone.

… If only I could convince Professor Tak Won-ho.

* * *

“Okay. Do what you think.”

Professor Tak Won-ho generously allowed Moon Ga-eun to join.

It was a bit surprising, but when I heard the reason, I understood.

It is said that his first plan was to give me practical experience in the dungeon and to grow steadily.

Apparently, [Wave Sword Technique] and [Wave Sword Technique] show more true value when dealing with monsters directly than when practicing alone.

But as much as my growth.

A dungeon that suddenly appeared in the Academy.

It was also important to dig this dungeon and get information.

In that way, the direction was reset, and it was confirmed that Kang Joo-yeon and Moon Ga-eun, who belong to high-ranking holders, would join the attack party even in the upper class.

I wondered if it would be a burden because it was a secret attack, but it seemed that it would be okay if the two were not involved only in political issues.

Before attacking the dungeon, I finally checked the holder information.

–

Over 20, it’s definitely hardened ability.

And the growth of various rune levels welcomed me.

I wonder how the divinity or magic level went up, but the stats obtained from the training effect of the [Seeker’s Sweat] rune were random, so it seemed to go up once.

In particular, on the rune side, the sword-related runes that have been working hard recently stood out.

[Sword] is already at level 6, and [Wave Sword] is already at level 2.

Professor Wonho Tak’s Spartan education was quite effective.

If this is enough, it’s probably the beginning of the Academy’s underground dungeon.

For Lizardmen, a C-class monster that appears mainly…

It was holder information that would never be pushed.

In front of the monsters.

I was convinced that I could serve as a bruiser.

The day of the expedition.

I, Kang Ju-yeon, and Moon Ga-eun.

The three of us came to the secret entrance of the dungeon, the underground passage in the south building of the academy written in the report.

Ga-eun Moon looked around the underground passage as if curiously.
