I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.70 Snake Covered Forest (4)

Inwangsan field outside the barrier.

Because the level of the monsters inhabiting it is quite high, it is a hunting ground frequented by holders of a lieutenant or higher.

in the middle of the field.

There were groups of people wearing some kind of mask.

They all wore masks and had their own heavy equipment, so they didn’t look like people who normally came to the field to hunt.

Among them, the masked man was at the forefront.

He lowered his mask for a moment and put the tobacco in his mouth.

It was already his fifth cigarette.

Also, everyone seems to be his subordinates.

The rest of the crew waited with their heads bowed.

The masked man spread cigarette smoke everywhere, and asked another masked man behind him.

“Are you sure about this area?”

“Yes, branch manager. Before the crow entered the dungeon, it sprinkled magic stone powder to signal a signal and entered. According to the signal, it is around 100m.”

“Well… .”

The masked man looked around.

Traces of hunting that one party has already swept away.

Looking at the fact that they didn’t even slaughter, except for the magic stone, it was clear that the party was hunting for a specific purpose.

The words of his subordinates and the situation in the field…

They were letting them know that this was the place they were looking for.

“Anyway, judgment of fire, these bastards are out of control. You suddenly change the dispatch date. You couldn’t even smoke because you were in a hurry to prepare.”

“It is often said. Isn’t the clan’s master very unique?”

“Why are all S-class yangbans like that?”

The masked man who stepped on the last cigarette butt tossed away.

And after taking out a sword.

I looked at the masked people who had gathered.

“The academy bastards are shoveling so much these days, so this one has to be a success. How many times have I told you, do you all remember?”

“Yes.”

“Yes, branch manager.”

The masked man put on the mask he had taken down because of a cigarette and looked ahead.

“Then let’s go slowly. To kill the bullies.”

His mouth was covered, but his eyes were smiling.

* * *

The level of [Wave Swordsmanship] and [Wave Swordsmanship] has risen to 9.

[The Seeker’s Sweat], and [The Wave that Swallows the Whirlpool].

It was the result of the combination of the two runes’ growth rate increase.

Now level 1 until the ultimate skill limit is lifted.

The magic power level was about 8 left.

If you’re lucky, the limit might be lifted after this dungeon attack is over.

‘and… You should get a duel reward.’

A golden information window adorns your eyes.

It was a reward for [Rune Hunter] who defeated Electroporus.

[You have won the duel! Victory is recognized for high contribution in duels. With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can duplicate one of your opponent’s runes. Please select a rune to duplicate.]

[1. Stealth 2. Penetrating thunderbolt 3. Underwater breathing (not selectable) 4. Underwater sprinting 5. Magical control (not selectable)]

The runes possessed by Electroporus were roughly predictable.

Since he utilized his ability to deal with lightning, it was natural to have a [penetrating thunderbolt], and [mana control] to assist him was also essential.

There was also [Water Breathing], a monstrous creature that was active in the water, and [Water Run], a rune that could move quickly in it.

However, there was one peculiar rune.

The first rune among the options was [Stealth].

‘Why the hell is he hiding?’

[Hidden] is one of the common runes that assassins mainly possess.

It is not the ability to become an ‘invisible person’ as in other novels or games.

It is a rune that helps you not to reveal your presence when hiding at a specific point or object, and changes the atmosphere itself so that you do not feel the sensation even if you are right next to it.

In a word, as long as it disappears from the opponent’s field of vision, a rune that assists in completely erasing its presence.

‘The higher the level, the higher the level.’

When you reach a high level, it will not be revealed even in the search runes of magic detection or archer type.

It will become an ability worthy of the name of stealth.

As a half assassin, I don’t have a rune yet.

This electric eel had it.

‘ah! That’s why Min Chae-hwan holder didn’t find out.’

After entering the dungeon for the first time.

Min Chae-hwan used the search-type runes to prepare the party for battle.

As a B-class holder, no monsters were caught in his search-type runes.

I even got a confirmation that there would be no monsters for about 10 minutes.

The reason why I couldn’t get caught in that detection.

It seemed that it was because he had [Hidden] in the theme of eels, and his level was surprisingly high.

When the advance squad came the other day, it seems that he didn’t show himself at all.

‘Then what to choose… Penetrating brains and stealth.’

The options are fixed.

Both runes were the runes I needed today.

The former is necessary to have resistance to the ability to handle lightning-type magic, and the latter can strengthen the assassin-type ability a little more.

Fortunately, my contribution was recognized for both of the Electroporus I was in charge of, so it was possible to hunt runes for both of them.

[You have chosen an infiltrating brain machine. Since it is a rare rune of level 8, the level has dropped and it is registered as level 4.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Acquires 4 Lightning Resistance and 3 Magical Power with the runic tendency.]

[A new resistance is activated.]

[You have chosen stealth. Since it is a level 13 normal rune, the level has dropped, and it is registered as level 7.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Acquires 4 Spirit from the runic tendencies.]

I smiled and looked at the information window.

‘The real level was terribly high.’

Electroporus lacked other abilities, but the level of runes it used was incredibly high.

[Invading Thunderbolt] Even so, the level of [Stealth] is huge.

The monster’s [Stealth] is level 13.

I couldn’t find it through Min Chae-hwan’s search.

I lightly checked the information of the newly acquired runes.

‘The penetrating brain… As expected.’

There were no special derivative skills in [Infiltrating Thunder Ki], and all that was said was that the special effect also caused lightning.

Instead, there was a special effect of penetrating more intensely if lightning was used through blades or water.

‘In hiding… There is a derived skill.’

The rune information of [Hide] was almost the same as what I knew, but there was a special derivative skill called [Hide Attack].

It was naturally derived thanks to the high level of 7th level.

＜Skill Information＞

◎Name: Hide Attack

◎Derived Rune: Stealth

◎Waiting time: 30 minutes

◎Conditions: Must be invisible to the attacking opponent.

◎Effect of use

: Surprise and attack the target while hiding. When an attack is successful, a certain part of the opponent’s durability is ignored, and the user’s attack power is also increased. (Proportional to rune level) If the opponent shows up before the attack is finished, the skill effect disappears and the waiting time returns.

[Hide Attack] is a skill I knew too.

It is a skill mainly used by assassins when they preemptively attack monsters, and for Normal Rune skills, it is a skill that is quite useful because it cuts a room and increases power at the same time.

It seemed like a good skill to use in moderation when hunting solo or attacking dungeons alone.

“Move again! We don’t know when these electric eels will come out again, so everyone, don’t get ready for battle.”

While I was cleaning out the runes for a while.

Kwon Oh-jun’s voice was heard.

It was embarrassing to see a monster that was not in our plan to attack, but we managed to get rid of it anyway and it was time to move on again.

chin- stutter-

The party’s movements became much more careful than before.

I followed him slowly and looked around.

‘Now it just looks like a habitat for monsters… .’

The forest, which seemed like a superb view, was now a habitat for monsters to be wary of.

After all, it’s all bullshit to say that the inside of the dungeon is beautiful.

I turned my head and looked to the right.

Shin Yuna, who looked depressed, was walking.

‘You’re still doing that.’

Our party formation is standard.

The party leader Oh-Jun Kwon and Chae-Hwan Min, who will be mainly in charge of the search, lead the way.

Choi Dong-wook, the assassin who will take the back of the freeroll party, is in the middle.

The rest of the rear personnel are in the back.

And Yuna Shin and I were at the back of the party to protect the rear.

If you stay behind and the battle starts, you move in that direction, and so on.

Thanks to that, we were walking together after the battle was over.

“Are you okay?”

I narrowed the distance a little to the side and spoke to her.

I also remembered Su-mi Lee’s words to comfort her well, and unlike her exciting posture on the first day, I felt like her spirit was dead.

Looking at his face, it seemed that the grass was still dead.

“Not at all… .”

“Cheer up. You’re here to learn anyway, you said from the beginning.”

Yuna Shin was the one who did OT to me before dispatch and told me not to expect too much.

After all, we’re here to learn.

What if he said that and he was actually like this?

“It is, but… I don’t know how to deal with a magical attack.”

Shin Yuna took a deep breath and said.

She is an evasive tank focused on attack.

Since there are no related resistance stats, if you do not succeed in evasion, you are exposed to magical attacks.

This was the reason why all the rear support personnel saw Yuna Shin in this battle.

Shin Yuna seems to be thinking about that.

How to deal with magical attacks.

But the answer was, in fact, fixed.

“You have to speed up and dodge it well. Or you can fight better because you become stronger like the team leader.”

“No, that’s the word… ha… .”

At my words, Yuna Shin lowered the heat and sighed.

Did I just talk too much?

He was obviously trying to comfort him, but somehow he seems to have aroused his anger.

In the meantime, Yuna Shin suddenly raised her head and asked.

“Did you catch one before?”

“uh? Ah, that… The attack worked, but the catch was captured by the rear personnel. you saw it too Magic pouring out.”

In the meantime, you’ve seen everything you see.

She bowed her head again.

“envy… I thought I couldn’t even touch it because I was too busy to avoid it.”

“I wear a shield. If you block one turn, you will get a chance somehow because they are monsters with low durability.”

Besides, Yuna Shin wouldn’t have low durability either.

When she duplicated the rune the other day, she also had [Meat Defense], which is a common rune that grows faster the more warriors that don’t use shields.

She was just embarrassed because the monsters she faced this time focused on magical attacks, but she was able to tank enough in front of monsters using physical attacks without having to dodge them.

While we were having a normal conversation like that.

Shin Yuna brought up an absurd story.

“Shall I take a look at the shield too?”

“What?”

Are you going to come and raise a [shield]?

All in all, this is the worst option.

Although [Shield] is a common rune, there is a high probability that it will not be created for her who uses [Fighting].

Right now, I’m an assassin, and just like [Stealth] is not created, the common rune doesn’t apply to all holders.

If you haven’t gotten it yet, there’s a chance you won’t be able to keep getting it, and even if you do, it’s natural that it will take a long time to grow.

In addition, if you use a shield, her strength focused on attack could die.

He holds a shield in one hand and fights in the other.

Something’s wrong with the size.

I gave Shin Yuna a honey chestnut to her, who was thinking nonsense.

“Ouch!”

“How can this be without runes?”

It was also good that I didn’t comfort him.

He needs to be scolded even more by the monster.

You know how easy it is to have a multi-talented multi holder.
