I Got the Academy Morale Rune

Chapter 178

178 – peaceful daily life (4)

It was as Professor Tak Won-ho said.

In the plan, only the basic establishment plan was written, and the specific timing, scale, and direction of support were described for later discussion.

Anyway, since I am the party involved, it must be composed of consultations with me.

Still, after meticulously reading the plan, I asked Professor Tak Won-ho.

“If it’s a student clan, is it a clan created inside the academy?”

“It is not. It’s just a student clan with a tentative name, but the academy can’t create a clan that pursues private interests because of external agreements. However, this is support provided by the Tak family and the foundation to you in the form of a scholarship.”

At that, I scratched my head and asked again.

“What’s the point of saying this in front of Master, but wouldn’t the pressure from the Foundation still come in? With support going on on such a large scale, it would be more difficult not to interfere.”

A puppet clan meddling with the Foundation.

For such a clan, it was actually a more poisonous proposal to accept.

However, Professor Tak Won-ho replied with a firm face.

“at all. As the person in charge of this outreach, I guarantee that that will never happen. The management team will also come from the people you pick. In the first place, it is a business that is notarized and supervised by the holder association, so that is not the slightest possibility.”

“… In association?”

“yes. The president of the association was very supportive of this plan. Didn’t they say that a clan created by a national hero would be unconditionally supported?”

… You are a national hero

How far are you going to go?

Although it was burdensome for the people around me to exaggerate too much, the feeling of being recognized for my achievements was not bad anyway.

As I’ve felt before, the Korea Holder Association and the president’s goodwill toward me seem to be quite deep.

It wasn’t just because of the successful completion of this operation.

‘I should have put in a lot of achievements in the meantime.’

About 8 months after becoming a rune holder.

From the F-rank holder until I climbed to the B-rank holder.

The achievements made over the past half year have been staggering.

From the unreported underground dungeons of the academy, hobgoblin colonies, snake-covered forests, mottled rock piles, cloud-shrouded nests, and other field hunts and disaster monster hunts.

These achievements are the basis for my growth, but they are also achievements that can make the association in charge of them laugh out loud.

The new dungeons and mana stone trades he discovered so far were enough to be selected as the ‘Holder of the Year’.

In this situation, he played a key role in clearing out ＜Villain＞… It was also strange that the Association didn’t like me.

‘… Clan creation.’

I felt interest in Professor Tak Won-ho’s suggestion.

Creation of a new clan.

Not that I hadn’t thought about it.

I’ve thought about creating a clan that I lead and run someday, but I didn’t know that vague thing would come this soon.

‘It’s gonna be fun.’

And unexpectedly…

I was not afraid of the advance.

I felt it when I started the ＜Anti-Villain＞ circle, and I tend to feel passion when I try something new.

Hunt S-class monsters, conquer top-notch dungeons, and wipe out the worst criminal organizations.

In the meantime, many cases that I have solved contain only unfamiliar and difficult things.

The same goes for creating a clan.

No matter how much support they receive, it seems impossible at first glance that a student who is only a freshman in the academy can create a clan.

But I felt the enthusiasm there again.

Would.

I think I can do it.

‘No, what if I can’t do it again?’

I wasn’t afraid of failure.

If it collapsed, it was enough to stand up again.

Not just the holder system, but everything in the world.

I’ve been doing well so far, and I’m ready to accept the mistakes that will happen in return.

It seemed that the pressure that seemed excessive was now at a stage where I could enjoy it with an appropriate amount of tension.

He folded the plan carefully and put it in his arms and continued his answer.

“All right. So, we will discuss this again later. Anyway, starting the business is from next year, right?”

“I know you well. No matter how fast it will be the second semester next year.”

“Then we can discuss it more slowly. Thank you for caring me. I only get help from Master every time.”

“Well. It seems to be the other way around.”

He said it so firmly, but a very subtle smile hung on his lips.

Master is also very weak in controlling his emotions.

When something heartwarming happened, he couldn’t hide his expression at all.

At that, I swallowed a laugh inwardly and got up from my seat.

Then, when he remembered something, he tilted his head and asked.

“But how did you know I was interested in starting a clan?”

Thoughts that I hadn’t told anyone, even I vaguely had.

How did Professor Tak Won-ho know that?

To that question, he smiled and said.

“Maybe I, the teacher, don’t know what my one and only disciple thinks. After the Judgment of Fire internship, I could tell just by looking at your stance. I may not know later, but right now, I have no interest in joining a large clan.”

“aha… .”

Another such inference is possible.

To be precise, it’s not that I’m not interested at all.

I also absorbed all the benefits of being a clan during my internship on Judgment by Fire, and I fully understood why people would want to join such a large clan.

However, I just wanted to postpone that decision until after I graduated from the academy.

In the meantime, this opportunity came.

“Anyway, I’ll figure this out next time, then.”

“yes. There’s a lot to talk about about the extra reward, but the apprentice looks a bit busy today.”

“Ah, hahahaha… .”

I laughed awkwardly at his sharp point.

Contrary to appearances, he is quick-witted.

Today, besides the meeting with Professor Tak Won-ho, there were quite a few appointments scheduled.

There was a reason why I came to the academy early in the morning.

“yes. let’s go Later, we will talk while doing sparring, which we haven’t done before.”

“Darling with Master is always an honor.”

He clenched his fist with one hand and spoke humorously.

The title Master is now sticking to my lips.

I used to only call myself professor, but this time, I changed the titles of all three professors as I took Yoo Eun-seol as my teacher… I think it’s a good title as it’s subtly affectionate.

Kim Chae-eun did not follow Jeong Seon-yeong for no reason, saying that she was Master and Master.

Just before I opened the door to the professor’s office and left.

Professor Tak Won-ho called me once again.

“Do Jae-hyun.”

“Yes, Master.”

Professor Tak Won-ho sat in his seat.

He said without turning his head once.

“You worked hard. You saved the academy.”

His short but heavy words.

It was an embarrassing compliment that had been worn out by people around me and the media, but hearing it from Master, who doesn’t use such expressions, made me feel new again.

So I nodded vigorously and replied.

“Yes. Even I think so.”

“… … .”

And the silence that flowed through the room.

… Was this too much?

* * *

It seems like we only had a short conversation in the professor’s office, but time passed quickly before we knew it.

11:30.

It’s already time to eat lunch.

There was a pre-arrangement for lunch.

“Come soon- I’m late because I’m popular.”

Moon Ga-eun was waiting at the main gate of the academy.

As soon as she saw me, she grabbed my arm and urged me on, and I burst into laughter.

“What is so urgent? It’s the holiday season anyway, so there won’t be many people.”

“no. The general public visits them more often, so you have to line up even if you go early.”

“yes?”

Was there a restaurant like that near the academy?

Because of [Cooking], I’ve been to all the nearby restaurants, but there was a restaurant I didn’t know about.

After all, the world is wide, and there are many restaurants.

“Ugh, I’m going to be really late. let’s hurry.”

“So I said I would make it myself. Why do you want to buy it?”

“Chi- No matter how good you cook, it’s not better than a good restaurant.”

“It’s because you haven’t tried the dishes you’re really good at.”

Come to think of it, Moon Ga-eun has never tasted my cooking.

You should grab me and treat me sometime.

I was so surprised that I really wanted to see her expression change.

“It fits perfectly! Let’s go over there.”

We arrived at a fish restaurant outside the academy.

Among them, it was a restaurant that mainly dealt with Pollack.

Let’s eat pollack for lunch, it’s a really easy-going choice like Moon Ga-eun.

Besides, as she said, the restaurant was full of people who came to eat lunch.

There was only one seat left, so I could barely squeeze in.

As soon as she sat down, Moon Ga-eun naturally ordered food.

“Boss, an order!”

“Yes- what would you like?”

“Here, two servings of braised pollack, please.”

“I received 2 servings of braised pollack.”

In that brief conversation, I murmured involuntarily.

“Myeongsunjo… ?”

“yes? What’s wrong, Jaehyun?”

“Oh, nothing.”

… Since it’s a pollack restaurant, it must be different.

By the way, Moon Ga-eun also naturally called my name now.

Considering that they were called Do Jae-hyeon and Do Jae-hyeon just a few days ago, this is a great improvement.

Actually, I didn’t think much about calling them by last name until I became conscious of this, but I felt like we got a lot closer after I said my first name.

“How are you feeling?”

“what?”

“The feeling of being the hero of the academy. Now, he has gone from being a promising player that only we knew to a famous holder in Korea who appears in the news. The academy’s hero, Do Jae-hyun! With this slogan.”

“Ah-why are you like that? I will die of embarrassment.”

“Ahahahaha.”

As if to get revenge for being teased, Moon Ga-eun teased me hard.

Even after entering the restaurant, I was worried that I could feel the eyes of the people around me.

Is this the celebrity disease or something… ?

The condition was very serious.

Anyway, we mainly talked about this operation and what happened before and after it.

In the meantime, a story about Moon Ga-eun’s father, Moon Jeong-hyeok, came out.

“Dad keeps looking at me these days.”

“What?”

“When are you going to reveal that you are dating?”

“Phew-”

I barely endured spilling water.

I asked in a puzzled voice.

“Oh, still?”

“It’s not still, it’s gotten worse. Jaehyun: Since you became so famous this time, he must have been more excited. After all, my daughter’s boyfriend is doing well.”

“ah… .”

Considering Moon Jeong-hyeok’s lack of talent, it is quite possible.

It was another form of Palbulchul, with a different direction from Kang Woo-hyun’s Palbulchul.

“So what did you say?”

“What do you say? Rather, he used it as an excuse. It’s so famous that it’s hard to meet it once it’s known outside. It’s comfortable to keep meeting secretly. Think of celebrities. Well, like that.”

“… Hey, you covered it well.”

It’s definitely an excuse that anyone can understand.

As he admired him, Moon Ga-eun burst into laughter.

“Ahahahaha. Right, right?”

“uh. They look completely different. I think she’s different from the Gaeun I know. Who are you?”

“Chi- do you really want to die? Be sure to attach a sajok.”

“sorry.”

We were laughing and joking with each other.

The long awaited food came out.

A variety of side dishes and plain soup.

Gorgeous yet not overdoing the visual.

It was the main menu of this restaurant, the table setting of braised pollack.
