I Got the Academy Morale Rune

177 – Peaceful daily life (3)

After asking Professor Tak Won-ho for a while, I had a conversation with Professor Kang Dong-wook.

Just as he had a lot of questions about me, I also had a lot of things I wanted to ask him.

“First of all, the monster who contracted with Do Jae-hyeon’s holder. Wasn’t it the villain master Hwang Dong-yeon’s contract monster?”

As soon as I got out of the car and sat down.

Professor Kang Dong-wook starts with the main topic.

I responded lightly to his words.

“You mean Bond?”

“copy… Do you like it?”

“Ah, that’s the name of my contract monster. It’s a bone dragon whose entire body is made of bones, so it’s called bond for short.”

“… … .”

At those words, Professor Kang Dong-wook paused.

It looked like he didn’t understand what he had just heard.

… You obviously got the name wrong.

If you see even Professor Kang doing this.

I reflected on my past mistakes and continued.

“Hmmm. Anyway, Bond is Hwang Dong-yeon’s contract monster. At the time of the battle, the contract was instantly terminated, and he signed a contract with me.”

“… Is that really true?”

“Yeah. Are there any problems?”

“No. No. It’s not a problem, it’s an innovation! In the history of the taming system, there has never been a case of stealing someone else’s contract monster. Do Jae-hyun holder is the first.”

Professor Kang Dong-wook shouted with a face that reminded him a lot.

Again, it’s a first.

After becoming the holder, it seemed like I was getting a lot of first titles.

Is it luck, or is it my skill at this point?

Anyway, Professor Kang Dong-wook hurriedly took out writing instruments from his bag and began to summarize and record the conversation he had with me.

‘Your passion is really amazing.’

I’ve already met him several times, but Professor Kang Dong-wook was a professor full of passion for learning and research greed among the academy professors.

“As I’ve said before, monster training can only be attempted when all of the situational requirements are met.”

“Yes, I remember. He was in a state of depletion and weakness, maybe?”

“Exactly.”

Professor Kang Dong-wook nodded in satisfaction.

Just before the introduction of the ＜Villain＞ sweeping operation.

Professor Kang Dong-wook’s lecture was given briefly at a hotel cafe.

He said that in order to train a monster at the time, two requirements were needed.

‘Magic exhaustion’ and ‘weakness’.

The former refers to a state in which the monster’s mana is literally exhausted, and the latter is a condition that rarely occurs during prolonged battles.

In a word.

After fighting the monster to the brink of death, you must cause the aforementioned two conditions to occur.

Then, if you use the [Hand of Contract], a derivative skill of the [Training Contract] rune, the contract with the monster will be successful.

It’s a very demanding condition…

When all of these conditions are met, the contract success rate is 100%.

So far, no training holder has ever experienced failure within this framework.

“But Jaehyun Doh’s holder broke that mold. Even by stealing the opponent’s monster.”

Professor Kang Dong-wook looked at me as if he was really curious.

… In fact, that’s interesting to me too.

At the time, I just approached it with the thought that I had to defeat the Bone Dragon, but before I knew it, I had become my contract monster.

However, looking back now, there were some reasons for this.

‘The first is the rune special effect.’

[The promise made by the dragon] increases the success rate of the contract only with those who are related to the legend of the dragon or those who have some of the characteristics of the dragon.

This dragon, Bond, of course falls under this condition.

Even with the sudden contract, there was a reason why it proceeded without difficulty.

And the second… .

‘Even Hwang Dong-yeon didn’t handle Bond properly.’

Hwang Dong-yeon’s main rune, which I briefly checked yesterday.

I recalled the rune information of the [Leader of Death].

＜Rune information＞

◎Name: Commander of the Corps of Death

◎Rating: Epic

◎Level: Max

◎Engraved part: Back of the neck

◎Special effects

: All stats increase by 10% when commanding many. Applies only when commanding at least three targets.

: There is no limit to the target of the ‘spirit’ that can be contracted. If you are a commander who has completed a contract, you can handle all of them regardless of your leadership level. Instead, if all the magic power shared with the contractor is exhausted, the summoning of the commander can be canceled. This effect and the ultimate skill ‘Death Revival’ are applied only when you have the rune related to the ‘Spirit Contract’.

◎Ultimate Skill

[Death Revival]

-Eonryeong: Wake up

-Waiting time: 30 days

– It can be created at once by concluding contracts with the spirits that have been ‘produced’ in advance. However, the commanders at the time of the contract are placed in an ‘unstable contract relationship’ for 24 hours. After 24 hours, formal contracts with contractors can be made again.

…

…

[Chief of the Corps of Death].

On the day of the operation, the reason Hwang Dong-yeon was able to command so many undead was in this rune.

No matter how high the leadership level was, I wondered how he could command so many undead, but it was because of this fraudulent effect that the limit disappeared.

Also, the reason I was able to sign a contract with Bond was in this rune.

[Death Revival].

Although there is a unique and powerful advantage of being able to turn the production monster into an undead and use it, there is also a risk that the contract that led to it is not intact.

‘… I didn’t know that there would be a madman who would steal the monster.’

This is probably something Hwang Dong-yeon could not have predicted.

“So Jaehyun Do’s holder’s runes aren’t training contracts?”

“uh… Strictly speaking, yes. Anyway, Bond is undead, and he’s a corpse. Of course, the form is a monster.”

“okay.”

A [promise made by a dragon word] is, strictly speaking, different from a [training contract].

[Training contracts] are limited to contracts with beasts, insects, and monsters of a unique form, while [promises made by dragon words] can be contracted by any ‘existence’ who has lost their intellect due to a mana stone.

It will probably be a spirit, and it will also be a commanding officer like the contract with Bond.

As expected, the rune that occupies the highest position in the rune series related to contracts.

It was the moment when I understood at once that the level of the rune was a legend.

“Then Do Jae-hyeon Holder’s bond… What exactly is the grade? Looking at his physical ability at the time, he was definitely at the highest level in the country.”

I also shook my head at Professor Kang Dong-wook’s question.

“I don’t know for sure. I think it’s definitely beyond A-rank monsters, and I can’t decide until S-rank. As you know, S-class is not an ordinary class.”

“Is Bond by any chance in Seoul now?”

“Yeah. I live in my own private dungeon called Hobgoblin Colony.”

“… Do Jae-hyun holder, did you have a dungeon?”

“Yeah? Ah ha ha… yes, what.”

I awkwardly scratched my head at Professor Kang Dong-wook’s expression, which seemed to be getting tired of it.

Everyone has at least one dungeon, right?

I was trying to make a joke…

barely tolerated

If that happens, I think the atmosphere will be really weird.

For reference, about Bond’s dungeon residence yesterday.

I received a confirmation from the Korea Holder Association.

[Lee Ji-hye] Permission has been dropped from the top of the association! The general manager is telling Holder to do whatever he wants, hehehe. As of today, we’ve also notified you of the information in the dungeon entrance warning, so you should feel free to do so.

The association was very friendly to me.

From the day before yesterday, I asked for a few trivial things, but they were all done in less than a day.

‘… I understand.’

Of course, the ＜Villain＞ clan has been one of the headaches of the Holder Association.

A terrible group that committed crimes against holders as well as ordinary people.

The opportunity to wipe them out once and for all never came easily.

Although this incident was a life-or-death operation for the academy, it was also a matter of pride for the association.

Thanks to this, I, who was at the center of the solution, came to receive the attention of the association.

The head of the association, whom I’ve never seen before, keeps calling me asking for a meal… It was all said.

“Then, when can I visit that dungeon? It is a very valuable research subject.”

“Absolutely. You’re my master when it comes to contracts. And if I want to handle Bond better, I need Professor Kang Dong-wook’s research. Please feel free to contact me.”

“good. Very good.”

After those words, Professor Kang Dong-wook finally stood up from his seat.

After lightly coming out and saying goodbye to Professor Tak Won-ho, he soon opened the door and left the professor’s office.

Squeak – chin.

“Wow… .”

I sat down on the sofa and sighed.

how to say

I feel like I’m exhausted

It was definitely a constructive and good conversation, but at the same time it was difficult.

Professor Kang Dong-wook’s passion for research.

It wasn’t easy to follow this.

“You worked hard.”

Professor Tak Won-ho, who was sitting on the other side of the classroom, spoke to me with a wry smile.

I replied with a dejected smile.

“Master also suffered. Did you hear all this… .”

“Is there any trouble? I just sat and listened. Rather… ”

Professor Tak Won-ho suddenly got up from his seat and came towards me.

And a piece of paper in his hand.

put it down on the table.

I, who was leaning back on the sofa, immediately corrected my posture.

“What is this?”

“Read it.”

A brief plan written on one page.

there…

＜Student Clan Establishment Proposal＞

The title was written in big letters.

As soon as I saw that, my eyes went wide and I looked at Professor Tak Won-ho.

“Master, this is… ?”

Professor Tak Won-ho sat down on the sofa across from me and spoke in a calm voice.

“The academy is this operation, Do Jae-hyun. It’s like I owe you a lot. There was a long meeting within the operating foundation about what kind of compensation should be given to you and what kind of treatment should be given to you.”

He tapped the table and continued.

“The academy’s first planned student clan is the first of such rewards. It is not a concretely established issue yet, and it is a plan that is only focused on what it will be like. Read it once and tell me what you think. If you, the person in charge, don’t like it, there are many other rewards prepared.”

Once again, the first compensation plan at stake.

But this time the meaning was different.

If it works…

Student-led, student-created Clans.

The full support of that clan was to be given to me.
