I Got the Academy Morale Rune

Chapter 156 – Forgotten Dragon Knight’s Pride (4)

After rune holders and monsters appeared in modern society.

In the meantime, countless studies have been conducted in the holder world.

What exactly is the power of runes, what are the identities of monsters and dungeons, and where did the system that governs them all come from….

From the most primitive question.

Even the fundamental will for development.

Holders have been conducting research in various fields, and they have been able to build a much more professional system than in the early days by slowly cultivating the results of their efforts.

-Professor Kang Dong-wook of Seoul Holder Academy, first among training holders to exceed 30 leadership… Will you finally succeed in training a B-class monster?

What is the main study of the current holder world?

If someone asks…

Scholars will all give the same answer.

Monster Taming.

It is the most mystical power among all the powers that arose after the Holder and the Monster became compatible, and the main focus of the current Holder world that most rune researchers are watching with interest.

Many scholars in the academy, as well as associations and various organizations, were already conducting research on this, and as time passed, related secrets and keys came out one by one.

Some even exaggeratedly asserted that this training rune was the only way to unlock all the secrets of the holder and monsters, and to bring peace.

That’s how ‘monster training’ is…

It was one of the major disciplines in modern society, where the interest of holders was gathered.

“Professor Kang, are you here?”

“Hello. It’s the weekend and you’re having a hard time.”

To the greetings of the team leader in charge of escorting the research center, Kang Dong-wook replied with a smile.

Member of Seoul Holder Academy.

Dong-Wook Kang, a full-time professor in the Department of Special Studies.

He is the only professor at the academy who teaches about ‘monster training’, and he is also the most outstanding researcher in the academic world.

He is one of the leading authorities among domestic training holders, and there were not many holders who could follow him in theory or practice.

“That’s my job, what. Professor, it’s the weekend, so don’t you rest?”

Haha. The performance these days is very good. My body is itching because I want to work too.”

Kang Dong-wook trembled and laughed.

Golden weekend.

The reason he refused to take a break and went back to work at the academy was to devote a little more time to his research, which was producing good results recently.

‘It would be nice if I could bring it myself…’ .’

Kang Dong-wook licked his lips and looked inside the laboratory.

Academy special series, multi-complex laboratory.

Deep inside this place, a special item with a very high research value related to ‘monster training’ is asleep.

[Order of Convergence].

A crystal ball with a strange appearance that glows in the color of a rainbow.

The only special effect that was revealed immediately was that it increased the leadership ability by 10, but it was a legendary item with many sealed abilities and overflowing areas to study.

‘It’s a really amazing item.’

The more Kang Dong-wook studied [Order of Convergence], The more he felt like he was learning about monster training and the mystery of monsters.

[Order of Convergence] Is a much greater item than it appears on the surface.

If you train while holding the item, your intimacy with the monster will rapidly increase, as well as show auxiliary abilities that go beyond the holder’s command value and use of runes.

At one time, it made possible the simultaneous training of two monsters, which was judged impossible.

Even though the research has not been completed, only this much has been revealed.

As related research has not been commercialized yet, domestic training field is in its infancy.

Within it, [Order of Convergence] Was an innovative item that would bring about a new wind.

‘… That’s why I study it secretly.’

Because of this, both the existence of the item and the contents of the research were kept secret.

[Order of Harmony] Is an item belonging to the academy.

Kang Dong-wook was also under contract with the academy and was conducting research, so private use was not possible.

So even if I wanted to take it home and study it, I had to go to work.

“Are you in the dedicated research room today?”

At the escort team leader suddenly asking a question, Kang Dong-wook nodded.

“Yes. Do you have any new monsters prepared?”

“I did procure the B-class monster you mentioned, the Centaur, on Friday. More details can probably be found in the lab report.”

The escort team’s main mission is to escort the laboratory, but it is also often responsible for transporting monsters for experiments.

The other day, Kang Dong-wook applied for the procurement of B-class monsters for full-scale training research, and it seemed that it had just been completed.

Kang Dong-wook said with a satisfied face.

“Okay. Well, good work today… “

After saying hello like that, I was about to enter the lab.

Bang-!

The entrance to the complex lab opened with a harsh sound.

And people pouring in soon after.

It was a group of staff, faculty, and some students inside the academy.

At that sudden appearance, a question mark appeared in Kang Dong-wook’s head.

‘What?’

The multi-complex laboratory is not a place you can just enter.

Even if you enter the building only at the entrance, you will be blocked by the escort team anyway.

Even if the visitor was an academy professor, it wouldn’t work.

Like Kang Dong-wook, only exclusive researchers who were granted an official pass could enter.

“Huh… Heo-eok….”

“Widely… Professor?”

And the leader of the crowd, approaching with gasping breath.

He was a face that even Kang Dong-wook knew well.

Professor Tak Won-ho.

He was a full-time professor belonging to the academy warriors and a prospective successor to the Tak family of the foundation that actually runs the holder academy in Seoul.

And to Kang Dong-wook, he was also the contractor who formally proposed the [Order of Convergence] Research.

“Professor Kang, you should avoid it.”

“Yes?”

After that he brought a bunch of people.

He was suddenly telling me to avoid it.

At the sudden story, Kang Dong-wook was unable to grasp the situation.

However, Tak Won-ho seemed to have nothing to do with his understanding.

Spoke straight away.

“We need to move Rainbow’s storage location. There is no time. Right Now… “

Rainbow.

A kind of code name for the special item [Order of Harmony].

When the secret name came out of Tak Won-ho’s mouth, Kang Dong-wook became even more embarrassed…

Unfortunately, the conversation between the two did not end well.

Kwaaang-!!

Pop! Pop! Quaang!!

An explosion occurred.

Infernal magic.

Among them, [Explosion] That causes a wide-area explosion.

That powerful magical attack appeared with a roar from all directions.

Of course, the people rushing in at the door were too easily caught up in the explosion.

“Keuk, kkeaaak-!!”

“Help me!”

“Professor! Professor… !!”

In an instant, the laboratory became a mess.

Those who survived moved as far as they could and entered the laboratory, and those who could not cope with the attack struggled in pain.

At the entrance, people wearing masks rushed in, each holding a weapon.

Score? Thirty people?

There were too many holders to count.

“Hey, what is this….”

“What the hell is going on… !”

To that hell-like scene.

Kang Dong-wook’s eyes lost their way and were filled with embarrassment.

The same was true of the escort team leader who was talking with me next to me.

The peaceful laboratory was suddenly stained with blood.

Some masked men came in and proceeded with the raid, and many were injured or killed.

This happened in just 10 minutes.

There was no way I could grasp the situation at all.

“…… !!”

And in that explosion.

A man walked out.

Dark blue hair and a large black greatsword.

A dark aura swirling around.

That man.

Kang Dong-wook, and Tak Won-ho, who quickly blocked him to protect him.

It was a face I knew all too well.

“Long time no see.”

The owner of the magic sword, Hwang Seong-yeon.

He raided the academy.

Accompanied by dozens of clan members.

Unlike many spies who move around in disguise within 〈villain 〉, his face is all too familiar to the public.

After Hwang Seong-yeon became a wanted criminal in the ‘Gwanghwamun Mass Murder Case’.

He never changed his name or face.

Just like the face at that time.

Just like the name at the time.

That’s why even today, when the academy was attacked.

Everyone who encountered him recognized him.

“… Well, you crawled back into the academy.”

Tak Won-ho looked at Hwang Seong-yeon with his teeth far away.

Too many people have already been injured and died.

At this rate, it seemed like the biggest casualty in academy history would happen.

The culprit behind the disaster was brazenly stepping forward.

However, Hwang Seong-yeon spoke to Tak Won-ho’s anger without changing a single expression.

“I need something.”

“It must be quite a great thing to have something that the vice-master of the great villain clan comes with his clan members.”

At that lengthy statement, Hwang Seong-yeon stared at Tak Won-ho.

“Wonho, you should already know.”

“Don’t call me by my name with that filthy mouth.”

Tak Won-ho’s expression was filled with anger.

Fragments of old hatred and memories lingered in his feelings, lost in his path.

Seongyeon Hwang.

That name gave Tak Won-ho so many nightmares.

And Hwang Seong-yeon, who saw that hard reaction…

He quietly raised his sword.

“… What a boring story.”

That there is no point in further conversation.

Because we already knew each other.

Green onion-

Dig-

Suddenly, Hwang Seong-yeon’s black greatsword gathered mana.

A bizarre magical power that blends filthy darkness and deep red blood.

I won’t waste time, I’ll finish it at once…

It was an intense magic that showed such a will.

“…….”

Seeing that, Tak Won-ho gritted his teeth and grabbed his sword.

It should be blocked.

If you break through here.

If we lose the [Order of Harmony] That we expect them to be aiming for.

I didn’t know how things would go in the future.

I didn’t know how the 〈villain〉 clan would run amok.

Even in order to subdue that potential danger, Hwang Seong-yeon had to be stopped here.

And….

“Swallow the blood.”

To the academy.

A great despair fell.
