120 – Their Purpose – 3

As Yuchoa moved, Seonghwarin’s Joe was given a similar warning. And she too looked this way on her way to her gate.

The only difference from Yoo Choa is that he watched without even a hint of laughter.

“What is the executive department thinking about looking this way…?”

“Well. Could it be because of the last time?”

“Last time?”

“When the blades of dawn stormed the academy.”

Ah. At that time.

“At that time, Yohan’s power was well known. Among the instructors, more and more people rated him highly. And the same goes for the cadets.”

That’s right.

Until then, there were some people who were annoyed that I was going around with other high-ranking cadets besides Elizabeth, Jin Shi-yeon, Yoo Cho-ah, and Cheon Su-ho.

But after that incident, those gazes completely disappeared.

“I heard that there are guys who learn buffs among those who thought they had no talent on their way.”

Huh? This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

“Really?”

“Yes. I went to Gwaneumsa Temple the other day because I had something to do, and there were quite a few people who applied for the 3,000 boat experience.”

It is a well-known fact that you can obtain the Diamond Sutra by experiencing 3,000 boats at Gwaneumsa Temple. However, if you don’t have high mental strength, it won’t mean much… I wonder if you’re just suffering for nothing.

“But why did you go to Gwaneumsa Temple? You want to learn Diamond Sutra too?”

“No. I was asked to do something by Gwaneumsa.”

It was when Max was about to talk.

“Elizabeth! Come out with her crew!!”

It’s our turn. Max kept his mouth shut to talk about it later, and we quietly moved forward.

“You are Kyoto. When you arrive in Kyoto, the instructor will be waiting for you. Follow their instructions and enter the dungeon. Then…”

“If you think it’s dangerous, get out of here right away?”

“Yes.”

We laughed at Kim Yeon-ha’s plain words.

As if she didn’t like that laugh, she blew a beetle on Elizabeth’s forehead, looked at Elizabeth in pain, then turned her gaze to me.

“I hope you listen carefully.”

“Uh. Um. Yes. I see.”

How do you do this? I have no intention of stepping down even if a monster that is one level higher in the red grade comes out.

In fact, considering the power itself, it’s not impossible at all, and I’ve prepared a lot of cures with the energy cores I’ve been steadily going through dungeons.

Theoretically, it is possible. However, it is doubtful whether the theory will work.

“Are you okay?”

Maybe Max was a little nervous, but his voice was getting hard.

Well, it was worth it. No matter how much there is a cure and my buff, it is a red grade. Of course, I’ve caught monsters of the red grade level, but I haven’t yet caught a monster of a higher level than the red grade. So it’s only natural to be nervous.

“Was it white above red?”

“Yes.”

“It is said that white ranks are generally made up of C-rank monsters. The owners of the dungeon range from B to… A-rank.”

“Oh…”

Gulp, Max’s neck moves. I approached him, who was licking his lips with his tongue, as if his lips were dry from nervousness, and I lightly patted him on the back.

“Cheol?”

“Who is shy!!”

Huh. After all, a man lives with his pride.

Even if he is inferior to Elizabeth or Jin Si-yeon, Max is also strong in his own way. Seeing that the two were fine, Max exclaimed cheerfully and walked ahead.

“To be ignorant…”

Jane, holding a cane, shook her head excitedly. But she is also nervous. I smiled and said to her.

“You too?”

“You weren’t scared?!”

It’s the same. Jane cried out and walked away, and Elizabeth smiled warmly at them.

“It’s not a bad thing to be nervous, but it’s a problem if you can’t show off your skills properly because of it.

“What am I doing? Elizabeth. You and Siyeon are…”

What? Jin Si-yeon’s expression is not good. I told Elizabeth to go first and approached Jin Shi-yeon.

“What is it? Were you scared too?”

“What nonsense. It’s not about that.”

“But what’s wrong with your expression? You’re pretty stiff.”

“No… It just reminded me of the other day.”

Last time? As I tilted my head, Jin Shi-yeon whispered in my ear.

“Jeju Island.”

“Oh.”

Are you talking about what caught the eye of a baseball player? Jin Shi-yeon let out a small sigh.

“If it’s red level it’s fine, but if it’s red or higher… I wonder if I can protect you back and forth.”

“Well. It will work somehow. Don’t worry too much.”

“… Then.”

Jin Si-yeon held out her hand. You want to catch her?

I nodded her head and took her hand. She feels her stiff hands slowly loosen.

“…Good.”

You look satisfied. Only then did a faint smile form on Jin Si-yeon’s lips.

“Let’s go.”

After letting go of my hand, Siyeon Jin walks ahead, and she starts to say something to Elizabeth, who is talking about her strategy in the front.

Is this okay?

“Welcome.”

When we arrived beyond the gate, the instructor was waiting for us. How far did she go with him and she rode the car. A car stops in front of a gentleman.

“There is a red grade dungeon inside this shrine. As everyone knows, you may fight monsters stronger than the red grade, so be careful.”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go in.”

After getting out of the car and passing through the area where the soldiers and heroes are, you can see the entrance of the dungeon covered in red energy.

“As you may know, the test ends immediately when a rescue request is made. I’ll ask you again. Are you going to challenge the red rank?”

If you fail, you won’t be bitten. You have to use good judgment.

“Yes.”

Of course, I have no intention of going back. At our answer, the instructor nodded and held out a rescue flag.

“It’s 9:00 am right now. Go in.”

There is a sense of tension. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get bitten now. We went right into the dungeon with red aura.

“It’s red.”

“It’s red.”

We knew what kind of dungeon this dungeon was from the monsters that greeted us as soon as we entered.

-Kreurreure…

The red fur that can be easily seen in the red dungeon. Wolves with bloody fur were waiting at the entrance.

In other words, this dungeon is just an ordinary red grade dungeon.

“Why is the steam missing?”

“I was nervous. hahahaha.”

“It’s not easy to get a red grade?! Everyone, get ready!!”

Listening to Jin Si-yeon and Max, I immediately used multiple buffs.

Attack Power, and Agility. Finally, skill enhancement.

Did you feel that the power of all party members was strengthened? The movements of the enemies sped up.

“Hit!!”

“Ooh!!”

Twelve hours have passed since I entered the dungeon. As a result of repeating rest and recovery, we were able to defeat the boss.

“Oh! It’s hard!!”

The red grade boss, the giant centipede Hong Duo Gong, is defeated. He was poisonous, but it was not too difficult to catch him because he had a twilight shadow.

“Hey Max. Are you okay?”

“Uh. But my armor is broken. Damn it. This is expensive…”

Hongduohgong.

The giant red-headed centipede’s venom was highly corrosive, and his armor would break easily.

“I was poisoned, but it’s a relief that only the armor was broken.”

“Is that so?”

If it weren’t for Twilight Shadow and the antidote, he might have died or been seriously injured.

Anyway, I got it, so it’s okay.

“I heard that if you catch Hong Du Gong, you will get the elixir. Did you get the elixir?!”

The corpse of a giant centipede begins to turn gray and disappear. All that was left was a hard shell and three small marbles. And it was a single dagger.

“Oh! This!”

The shell is the shell of Hongdu Goku and is a material item. It’s a material used to make armor, so it’s better to give Max.

And…

“Wow. It’s a magical dagger, isn’t it?!”

“Is it for wizards?”

“Yes. Poison-type magic can be used. Can I take this?”

“It doesn’t matter. And all that’s left is this marble…”

“It’s the jewel of Hong Duo Gong.”

Jin Si-yeon lightly lifted the marble and said, knowing what a marble is.

“If you bring it to the association, you can get points.”

“It’s just japtem. It’s a waste. The elixir doesn’t work.”

“But that’s a lot of points. And we won’t get energy cores.”

“Is that enough to be distributed appropriately?”

Considering the energy you can get from the red rank, they’re a bit inferior.

“Let’s go out and get an accurate appraisal and share it.”

It’s better to keep things neat. Anyway, when I finished cleaning up, the entrance to the dungeon appeared.

“Ugh. I’m tired. I want to rest.”

Max spoke as he stretched, and we agreed.

As expected, fatigue is no joke, probably because it’s a red grade.

I went outside through the exit. The instructor waiting outside checked our time and contacted us somewhere after seeing the dungeon collapse.

“Was it a pure red grade?”

“Yes.”

“If that’s the case, you guys are currently in first place. Of course, it’s a different story if there are red-grade or higher monsters from other groups… Well, if it’s not that, we’ll be able to maintain our ranking.”

He spoke in a leisurely manner and smiled wryly as he looked at our faces.

“You look like a beggar anyway.”

“It’s sad that it can’t be denied…”

“First of all, recover and go rest. It’s free time until tomorrow.”

Time is running out.

Um. If the other side hasn’t come out yet, let’s go to Yuchoa’s side.

“John! Anything special to do? Would you like to go sightseeing?”

“…There’s a nice place around here. Let’s go.”

“Ah. I have something else to do. Let’s play together.”

The two’s expressions hardened. I shrugged my shoulders at their gaze, which seemed to be demanding an answer.

“I’m going to go to Choa’s side. I heard the other day that the Blade of Dawn is also active in Japan. If anything happens, join me.”

“Ah. I guess so.”

“Then let’s go together.”

Oh. Did Elizabeth and Jin Shi-yeon join?

Then it’s fine with me.
