“Junyoung Kang seems to really like that sword.”

“yes. To be honest, it doesn’t even come into my other black eyes.”

“hahahaha! If so, that’s something you can’t do. Do it with that sword.”

Cha Soo-hyeok also did not understand Jun-yeong’s obsession with the sword.

‘It would be very inconvenient. My hands will get cold too.’

Still, according to what I heard at the research center, it was superior to other 1-star magic stone swords.

Of course, compared to 2 or 3 star magic stone swords, it was a terrible level.

“This is the scabbard of that sword. It has been there since the first discovery, and you must keep the sword in it. I tried everything in the lab, but this scabbard is the only one that prevents the chill of the sword from leaking out.”

“okay.”

The sword that Cha Soo-hyeok held out also shone with a mysterious light of blue silver.

It seems to be a set with a sword.

“Then, if you feel uncomfortable while using that sword, feel free to tell me. I will exchange it for another sword.”

“yes.”

Junyoung nodded and Cha Soohyuk asked with a proud smile.

“How do you like the equipment today?”

“of course.”

“This is all for today, but new equipment will continue to be developed at the research center in the future. If you cooperate with us from time to time, like today, you will be able to use the equipment as well.”

“All right.”

It’s not bad to be able to use the latest high-end equipment of the National Guardian Awakening Equipment Research Institute for free just by visiting once in a while and treating vampiric patients.

“And the money coming out of the state is just a subsidy. 30 million won per month is not a small amount of money, but Kang Jun-young is now an A-class hunter, so if you go to an association or guild, you will be able to earn a lot of money on a completely different level. I hope you can make a lot of money while working freely.”

Cha Soo-hyeok smiled proudly again and continued.

“You probably won’t hear about equipment shortages anywhere. The weapon is a little ambiguous, but you can change it to a 3-star weapon whenever you want.”

“hahahaha, thank you. Right now, rather than joining a guild, I plan to level up as I gain experience.”

“That’s good too. For reference, among the guilds, rumors about the Oryong and the North Head are not good, so don’t go there.

“I will refer to it.”

The four major guilds in Korea are Blue Dragon, Oryong, North Star, and Dawn.

‘This much, I’ve already recognized it.’

Among them, Dawn has the best reputation, followed by Blue Dragon.

There is even a saying that the rest of the North Star and the Oryong are a group of villains.

In the meantime, Cha Soo-hyeok led Joon-young out of the warehouse at a quick pace and said,

“I’m really sorry, but something very urgent has come up right now, so I think I have to go. Originally, I was going to treat you to a hearty dinner today, but I am really sorry that things turned out this way.”

“no. From what I heard earlier, it seems like there was an accident at Gangnam Station. Let’s go.”

“Thank you for your understanding. However, rather than going home like this, I recommend stopping by the training ground and swinging that sword. Only then will we know if the sword really fits in our hand.”

Is there a training ground?

Junyoung was pleased.

“Where is the training ground?”

“It is on the 3rd basement floor of this rear annex building. Kang Jun-yeong is an A-class hunter, so you can freely go to any empty training ground and practice.

“okay. I should go right away.”

“Oh, don’t forget to take care of the equipment in the reception room.”

“of course. Don’t worry about that.”

“Then I’m fine. We will contact you again. ”

Cha Soo-hyeok politely bowed his head, and as soon as he turned around, he ran quickly and disappeared somewhere like the wind.

‘What the hell happened to Gangnam Station?’

Everyone seems busy, so I can’t ask.

However, if there was such an uproar, related information would have surfaced on the Internet.

Junyoung searched for Gangnam Station on his smartphone before going to the annex training center.

‘uh? Did the whole building disappear?’

As expected, the internet is in an uproar.

SY Building has a theater inside the building, so Junyoung has been there several times.

‘Why did this absurd thing happen?’

The gate didn’t suddenly appear, and the whole building disappeared.

To be precise, it was hidden behind a barrier, but the details of the situation were unknown.

“mom! It’s me. Is there anything wrong at home?”

Anxious Jun-young immediately called Lee Kyung-seon.

The fact that I became an A-rank hunter through re-examination, I called my family earlier to inform them.

Right now, I’m worried that some of my family members haven’t gone near Gangnam Station.

-huh. Me and Eun-a are at home too. Dad and Junseok are coming home right now, so don’t worry. but where are you now Isn’t it Gangnam Station?

“yes. I’m in the National Guard now. I’m going home in a little while. yes Of course. Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.

Fortunately, the family is unharmed.

‘after!’

A sigh of relief came out, but the anxiety did not completely go away.

It’s Gangnam Station today, but you never know where such a scary thing will happen tomorrow.

* * *

3rd basement floor of the National Guard Annex Building.

As Cha Soo-hyeok said, I showed my hunter ID and passed safely!

“You are an A-rank Hunter. Did you come to use the Awakened Individual Training Center?”

“yes.”

“Most of them are empty now, so you can use them wherever you feel comfortable.”

It was said that the training grounds were equipped with facilities where the awakened could practice without being disturbed by outsiders.

Each private training room is equipped with a private toilet, shower room, and bedroom.

It seems that there are awakened people who stay here for several days and practice.

‘It’s really quiet.’

I went inside and closed the door, so no outside noise could be heard.

Before swinging the sword, Junyoung tried to equip the equipment he received today.

[4-Star Magic Evasion Ring]

[Top of 2-star stamina]

[2-Star Mana Bottoms]

[Gloves of 2-star attack]

[2-Star Leap Sneakers]

It’s all magic stone equipment.

‘Last time I looked at it, but even if it was 1 star, magic stone equipment was extremely expensive.’

I went to the Korea Hunter Association exchange site to see how much the market price of similar equipment was formed.

‘The 4-star ring isn’t even available at all.’

What is shocking is that the market price of a 3-star magic avoidance item is a whopping 2.3 billion won!

‘oh my god! 3 stars is 2.3 billion?’

Jun-young, who expected the 4-star ring to be worth several hundred million, was surprised.

If a 3-star ring costs 2.3 billion, how much would a 4-star ring cost?

‘If I’m going to pay money to buy this, the answer won’t come out.’

Likewise, the minimum 2-star armor equipment is 100 million.

It also has one or two characteristics attached to it.

‘Even if the market price of other equipment except for the ring is combined, it will just exceed 1 billion.’

It’s only a rental horse, but in fact, it’s no different from Junyoung’s personal equipment.

‘Chief Soo-hyeok Cha really put a lot of thought into it.’

Junyoung smiled happily and checked the fit of the equipment.

‘I expected the clothes, but they’re really comfortable.’

The upper and lower garments each have an attribute that restores one level of health and mana, so just wearing them makes you feel energized.

‘It seems to work only when standing quietly, not when moving.’

As Cha Soo-hyeok said, it is a very minor level of recovery.

However, the difference between having it and not having it is huge.

Tung! Tung!

And sneakers of leap!

this is truly an art

Even if it wasn’t, the level went up and the agility increased, but I feel like I’m going to fly because I’m wearing leap shoes.

‘It became possible to lightly jump from a height of more than 2 meters in place.’

There is little to no shock when coming down.

But it doesn’t bouncy every time you walk like a shoe with a spring.

Leap (step 1) only works when you jump, so when you’re just moving, it’s no different than a normal sneaker.

‘I don’t know about gloves yet.’

It is said that the first step of the attack is attached, but since agile hands are only for vampires, there is no way to test it here.

‘These are done.’

Magic crystal equipment can consume energy.

There is no need to waste energy during training, so I took off my training clothes and changed into other training clothes.

Because there are many training suits for training on one side of the training ground.

‘Now let’s get familiar with this sword.’

Sreung!

Junyoung drew the blue-silver sword from the scabbard again.

woo woo-

Then, the coldness of ice strikes again.

‘My hands are about to freeze.’

Come to think of it, this scabbard is like a great treasure.

To prevent such a terrible chill from leaking out.

‘Still, I’ve experienced it once, but it’s a little better than before.’

A fairly tolerable level.

Now, as Cha Soo-hyeok said, it’s time to swing this sword to see if it fits in your hand.

Poof! Poof! Whip!

I tried various sports, but among them, kendo was the most fun.

Even so, if you haven’t practiced every day, awkward movements are bound to come out.

hit short!

poking!

Rotate quickly and slash hard!

‘Surprisingly, I can concentrate well.’

The movements were familiar as if they had practiced every day.

However, the problem was the pain that came upon him every time he swung his sword.

‘Ugh, it feels like a sharp knife is stabbing me.’

That doesn’t mean that there are any scars on the body, but it was hard to endure because the pain itself continued.

‘What kind of sword is this?’

Even A-class swordsmen gave up using this sword because of stress when they held it in their hands, was it because of this pain?

‘I can’t swing my sword because it hurts.’

Even if I tried to swing it, the pain continued, so I wanted to throw the sword right away.

‘Should I ask for a change of sword now?’

I can understand why Cha Soo-hyeok said many times that this sword was not.

Now, just holding the sword itself is a very painful situation.

‘The pain gets worse even though I’m standing without swinging?’

In particular, it seems that not only the hands but also the whole body freezes from the chill of the sword.

‘This is dangerous.’

I’d have to throw the sword away right now.

Something unknown and exhilarating tension makes me linger on this sword until the end.

‘Wait, but why do I suddenly feel the energy of a vampire?’

With a creepy feeling, Junyoung inspected the sword.

‘It’s nowhere else. I can feel the energy of a vampire from this sword.’

Could this sword be a weapon related to vampires?

‘A vampire sword by any chance?’

If you look at it like a fantasy novel, there is a sword that absorbs blood.

Commonly referred to as magic swords.

‘That’s probably not it.’

Of course, that’s an over-the-top idea.

And if the sword was one of the bloodsuckers, you should have recognized it when you first saw it.

However, Junyoung shook his head again.

Confusing though.

‘I can feel it clearly. This sword is definitely a vampire.’

Then, why didn’t <Vampire Detection> work in the first place?

‘I heard that the ability is sealed, is that why?’

widely!

Junyoung tried to hit the blade with his hand just in case.

If this sword is truly a vampire, it will react to something when struck with the <Agile Hand>.

Whoops!

However, the sword body suddenly trembled violently.

Tsutsutsu –

[34 mana is consumed.]

‘Ugh!’

Why is mana being sucked into the sword all of a sudden?

From noble mtl dot com.

[36 mana is consumed.]

[41 mana is consumed.]

And at an increasingly fast pace.

Even the pain of being stabbed with a knife all over the body!!!

“Keugh!”

[46 mana is consumed.]

At this rate, every handful of mana would be absorbed by the sword.

‘Are you saying you’re doing this just because you hit one?’

Other than that, no reason is given.

[51 mana is consumed.]

In the meantime, the sword continues to suck mana.

It feels like you’re laughing at me as if you dared hold me!

If you’re afraid, it’s like putting down the sword right away.

‘Don’t mess with me!’

I had the urge to throw it away right away.

Still, Junyoung had a strange feeling, and he did not let go of the sword until the end and endured it.

Grinding my teeth, I endured the bitter cold and excruciating pain that came from the sword.

【Mana】 0/1160

At some point, mana was completely depleted.

As a result, his stamina was rapidly declining.

Instead of throwing the sword away, Junyoung gripped it even harder.

‘Even if I die, I won’t lose to this sword.’

He stumbled and swung his sword again.

Poof! Whiik! stroke-

However, as he was swinging his sword, dying, transcending even the pain, a strange thing happened.

[34 mana is restored.]

[36 mana is recovered.]

[41 mana is restored.]

‘uh? Mana is filling up again.’

Unbelievably, the sword returned the absorbed mana back to Junyoung’s body.

And that’s not all.

All of a sudden, the terrible pain that had invaded his whole body disappeared without a trace, and his whole body felt refreshed.

‘what? Why does the coldness of the sword feel cool?’

It’s strange to feel the terrible chill that makes your whole body freeze like the wind from an electric fan.
