I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.67 Snake Covered Forest (1)

The next day, the 33rd floor of the Clan Tower.

I went up to the conference room early in the morning, and together with Yuna Shin, I organized the newbies to do.

Even if it were a job, it was enough to put a report on the strategy plan in place.

In fact, this is not necessary in a horizontal clan culture, it was just that Yuna Shin said, ‘If you are a rookie, you have to do this!’ and dragged me out.

The total number of people for this operation meeting is 8 people.

Everyone participating in the attack party was present.

before 9 am.

The clan members arrived one after another in the conference room.

There was also Kang Joo-yeon among the dogs, so he greeted them with an eye greeting.

Kwon Oh-jun, the leader of the 5th Hunting Team and party leader, came last.

As he entered the conference room, the operation meeting began in earnest.

widely-

As soon as Kwon Oh-jun arrived, he placed the documents aloud on the table.

“First of all, I will pass on the notice. The dispatch date for this operation has been advanced. It’s not tomorrow, it’s this afternoon. Since this is a definitive matter that came down from the top, the discussion itself is impossible. So, so that everyone can be ready for dispatch by this afternoon.”

Subsequent schedule change notice.

One day earlier than expected…

It is a date that corresponds to today.

But maybe it’s not that surprising, everyone nodded in agreement with the change.

Of course, there were also clan members who had doubts.

“manager. May I ask the reason for the date change?”

A holder placed diagonally to the left of my seat.

According to the brochure Shin Yuna handed over, it was Min Chae-hwan Holder, a B-class archer in the Hunting Team 5.

Chae-Hwan Min, Chae-Hwan Min…

I’m sure I heard the name somewhere, but I can’t remember.

When I read the booklet, I had a strange feeling.

Maybe it’s a faint memory in my head.

Maybe he was one of the extras that passed by in the original.

Anyway, to the question of Min Chae-hwan raising his hand, Kwon Oh-joon cut it off.

“What did you just hear? The discussion itself is impossible. That’s an upper-level directive. Don’t vomit and prepare for dispatch right away.”

“… All right.”

I was rather surprised by Kwon Oh-joon’s sharp answer.

‘Aren’t you talking too loudly?’

Even though Kwon Oh-joon is a team leader who speaks nonsense to his juniors without hesitation, it was an overreaction.

Min Chae-hwan wondered if there was something about Kwon Oh-joon.

However, Min Chae-hwan agreed without any change in expression.

It seemed to be a familiar situation as usual.

With him, Oh-jun Kwon’s explanation of the operation meeting resumed.

“The location of the dungeon we are going to attack this time is in the middle of Inwangsan Field in Jongno. Some of you may remember it, but it is a similar location to the tiger’s lair dungeon that the 4 hunting teams attacked the other day.”

The clan members gathered in the conference room nodded as if they remembered.

I turned over the attack plan report and focused on his words.

Inwangsan Field.

A field outside the barrier where there is a rumor that an S-class monster ‘Shin Beast Woo Baek-ho’ appears from the top of the mountain.

Of course, there is no holder who said that Baekho Woo was discovered yet.

Like a mountain famous for a field frequented by tiger monsters, there were quite a few dungeons related to tigers in this field.

Among them, the ‘Tiger’s Lair’ dungeon was one of the dungeons that was mainly profitable after finishing the attack a few months ago in ＜Judgment of Fire＞.

beep-

Oh-jun Kwon put down the plan for a while and turned on the beam projector.

A PPT that summarizes the destination of this dispatch in detail.

In that…

There were pictures of a ‘snake’ with a unique appearance.

“The location is similar, but the monsters that appear and the characteristics of the dungeon are completely different. As you can see, the main appearing monster is a snake. The tentative name of the dungeon has been decided as ‘Forest Covered with Snakes’.”

beep-

Oh-Jun Kwon turns the slides using a pointer.

The first monster I saw.

long body and tail.

On the other hand, a snake with a wide face.

It was a B-class monster, Rapid Cobra.

“Rapid Cobra, as its name suggests, is a snake-type monster focused on speed. Snake cubs are fast. They’re famous, but these guys are exceptionally fast. It is presumed that he also possesses related runes. Shin Yuna and Do Jaehyun.”

“yes!”

“Yes.”

He quickly answered the sudden call.

Kwon Oh-joon looked at me and Shin Yuna in turn and said calmly.

“You, along with me, are the only three warriors in this operation. You have to keep your center tight and go tanking. If you panic at high speed and miss the monsters, keep in mind that the attack will be directed to the back of our party.”

“Yes, I will keep that in mind!”

“All right.”

Although Oh-jun Kwon scared me, neither I nor Yuna Shin would be so easily embarrassed.

First of all, they both have a footwork rune, [Agile Movement].

Through runes, you can easily cope with high-speed attacks, and you can raise your shield if you want.

In particular, Yuna Shin is a holder specialized in speed values, so she will be able to lure monsters with her ‘evasive tanking’.

‘What am I… You can use magic attack if you’re still there.’

More than Ojun Kwon has already seen the variety of my runes.

As a multi-holder, there was nothing to fuss about.

To put it bluntly, my [Simmering Flame] manifests faster than our party wizards.

Because he doesn’t cast magic, only his magical powers.

Nana and Shin Yuna were higher level holders than ordinary C-class holders.

After a brief warning.

The explanation continued.

“The B-class monster, Green Anaconda, appears both at the beginning and in the middle. Unlike the rapid cobra, the green anaconda is extremely slow, but has high durability and strong muscular strength. It is especially difficult when pouring magical attacks, so be careful. … … Similarly, the B-class monster Mega Snake, which appears mainly in the middle, is… … ”

A time closer to notification and training rather than a meeting.

It lasted about 2 hours.

Oh-jun Kwon’s explanations and PPT materials were neat.

Various snake-type monsters and their characteristics.

The special properties of the dungeon were clearly summarized in the PPT.

Although the explanation is quite boring, because it is related to the lives of party members, Oh-Jun Kwon meticulously explained it so as not to miss the slightest mistake.

Finally, he also mentioned the beasts whose reconnaissance had not been completed.

“It has been reported that the basilisk, an A-class monster, sometimes appears in the middle part. It has not been confirmed, but the boss room monster is also expected to be an A-class. Because the attack plan report describes the characteristics and weaknesses of the monsters, and everything related to them… Everyone, memorize the paper until it is dispatched in the afternoon. okay?”

“Yes!”

“All right… !!”

Loud responses from some lively party members rang out.

A warrior class of me, Shin Yuna, and Kwon Oh-jun.

Kang Joo-yeon and Kim Seong-cheol are the wizards of the holder.

A holder named Su-mi Lee of the divine series.

A holder named Dongwook Choi, an assassin.

Lastly, to the archer-type Min Chae-hwan I asked earlier.

There were a total of 8 dispatched and attacked party personnel.

After Kwon Oh-jun checked the personnel.

He tapped the table and announced the end of the meeting.

“Each of you, take your morning preparation time and lunch, and gather at the entrance of Inwangsan Field by 2pm. Then disband.”

A forest covered with snakes.

After joining ＜Judgment of Fire＞ as an intern, it was fortunately a dungeon attack from the beginning.

* * *

There was nothing necessary to attack the dungeon.

There was no need to meet Choi Yoo-min because I had enough equipment, and all the equipment that was damaged by the last Swir Leviathan hunting had been repaired.

Because of the late dispatch, you may end up camping in the dungeon, but for that matter, I already finished preparing with Shin Yuna in the morning.

All I needed was confidence and the right amount of tension.

“… You don’t have to be so nervous.”

Kang Joo-yeon, who was walking next to me, spoke to me.

I don’t have anyone to go with me to the entrance of Inwangsan Field, so I’m going with Kang Joo-yeon.

Now that I’ve gotten to know her quite a bit, I don’t feel uncomfortable even with the two of them.

Unlike yesterday, Kang Joo-yeon’s mood today seems more relaxed.

Seeing you give me this advice first.

… Coincidentally, Shin Yuna was not present today.

Were you really mad at Shin Yuna yesterday?

“There were a lot of things that supported me, but… You have experience hunting even A-class monsters alone.”

“It was really lucky.”

When is he talking?

If you come now and ask him to catch Grizzly Drake again, he can’t catch him even when he wakes up dead.

… is not it?

If I pour out all the runes I have, maybe something will happen… ?

Anyway, hunting an A-class monster alone.

Even now, now that I have grown a lot more than then, it was not an easy task.

“know. Still, anyway, it’s superior to the average C-class holder, and that’s because it’s not a nuisance to a B-class party… Considering those things, Jaehyun Do. You insisted on joining your party.”

Kang Joo-yeon said with a slight smile as if she could see it.

When I first met her, I didn’t notice this change in expression, but after meeting her for a long time through various events, I start to see it.

Kang Joo-yeon just doesn’t know how to laugh out loud.

She was a woman who knew how to laugh.

I answered him with a smile.

“thank you. You’ve been caring for me since the intern came in. Thanks to this, I go to advanced dungeons with well-known clan members. Lucky for me, I.”

“… no.”

Kang Joo-yeon, who seemed to have a red face for some reason, turned her gaze away.

As we walked through exchanging stories like that…

Soon we had reached our destination.

Perhaps the first of the clan members to come, there was no one at the entrance.

We found a nearby bench and sat down for a while.

“ah.”

while sitting on the bench.

Kang Joo-yeon looked through the magic bag as if she had suddenly remembered it.

Then he pulled out a vial and handed it to me.

“… this.”

“what’s this?”

A uniquely shaped vial with a green glow.

Read at readwn.com

Judging from the contents inside, it was clear that it was a special type of ‘potion’.

“An anti-detoxifying agent for paralytic poison.”

“… Paralyzed poison?”

“yes. Snake-type monsters often harbor poison… Nothing else matters, but paralyzing poison is dangerous when struck.”

Poison’s performance varies greatly depending on its type, but paralyzing poison is fatal to warriors.

If the warrior class, who should stand in the front and tank, is immobilized due to paralysis poison, this is because it can lead to danger to the party.

Kang Joo-yeon was worried about that and was handed me [Anti-Detoxification].

As long as you drink the [Detoxification Prevention] in advance, you will not be poisoned for a certain period of time.

It was a gift that showed consideration for the family.

However…

‘I’m poison resistant 8… .’

When I did poison tolerance training against the toxin iguana in the academy’s underground dungeon, the poison tolerance level was already 8.

[Poison] has also improved considerably and is now level 5.

Whatever it is, you can say that this is utter nonsense.

No message comes from the poison of some snakes.

I’m sorry for Kang Joo-yeon, who has been preparing anti-detoxification drugs for the most part…

In fact, it was a potion of no use to me.

“… thanks Ooh, I’m lucky, I.”

However, I raised the corners of my mouth as much as possible and handed the potion.

Aside from ignoring the sincerity of the gift giver…

If you refuse Kang Joo-yeon’s gift.

And how cold the atmosphere will be like yesterday.

To be honest, I’m afraid to imagine.
