chapter 91
35. The reason why Instructor Lee Soo-yeon likes Lee Jun-woo (2)
Class A Hunter.
They are those who have reached the pinnacle of active duty Awakeners.
In general, the criteria for the level of the awakened person and the level of the monster are similar.
When an A-class dungeon occurs in the city center.
It’s not uncommon for a city to be wiped out if left unattended.
Those who have the qualifications to clear the dungeon of the same class are the A-class hunters.
It is a truly special grade that requires not only physical specifications as an awakened person, but also practical experience to verify one’s skills in order to obtain a license.
So, all A-class hunters are called heroes without question.
And when you think about the future.
The grade I need to achieve in the shortest time to achieve my goal as Unknown.
For reference, my hunter license was significantly raised to C-class through the last dungeon evaluation.
“Conditions?”
I am such an A-class hunter. Instructor Lee Soo-yeon asked.
“huh. Guess me with your sincere attack.”
Lee Soo-yeon smiled and said to me.
Although it is an A-rank hunter. A young age, not even thirty yet.
And her healthy appearance is enough to look at in her early 20s.
To be honest, rather than an A-class scary Awakener.
She’s pretty, easy-going, and like a neighbor’s older sister with a good personality.
‘It’s strange that he treats me well.’
The interest in me and the consideration given to me in the middle of the day are a big help.
The eyes of the cadets in Class 1 of the Freedom Department immediately turned to the two.
Everyone seemed envious when I was talking to Lee Soo-yeon alone.
It’s rare to be able to have a friendly conversation with such a popular girl.
It was even a privilege to dedicate a lot of time to training.
‘Because that sad personality isn’t pretense either.’
With Lee Soo-yeon’s level of skill, working as an active hunter would make much more money.
Considering his appearance and personality, he is openly a popular hero and can be promoted by any organization.
But she stopped working as a hunter and hero two years ago and became an educator.
It was because he was disillusioned with the current Hunter world.
Power and money rather than a sense of justice.
And since it was a world where loyalty to Valhalla’s apostles was more important than fairness.
Also choosing Theia. I also chose the liberal arts department.
It is because he has a dream to raise an Awakener with the right strength, regardless of his background.
“Does the instructor treat you seriously?”
At my words, the smile in Instructor Lee Soo-yeon’s eyes disappeared.
“of course. I am serious about teaching you guys.”
And her mood changed instantly.
As much as the love for the cadets is great.
Lee Soo-yeon was always sincere.
Pajik- Pajik-
And sincere A-class hunters are gigantic beings that even a cadet cannot even see.
‘Mana pressure is no joke.’
For a moment, my whole body felt tingling.
I haven’t even used the power yet.
Even so, she felt the aura of mana strongly coiling around her.
At this point, Yun Gun-woo felt like a nobleman.
The pressure he created by intentionally adjusting his mana.
Instructor Lee Soo-yeon was reproducing the same by simply changing her breathing.
‘no. The pressure is much worse.’
So, Instructor Lee Su-yeon’s words to adjust the attack to yourself.
It wasn’t just a test.
‘To be honest, it’s impossible for a normal cadet.’
If you are an A-class instructor, your main stats will generally exceed 120.
Of course, other stats may be lower than the main stats.
Instructor Lee Soo-yeon, even if she has the title of Weapon Master, is basically the one who uses her physicality.
So the reaction speed through the speed stat is also a sufficiently high awakener.
‘It means that even if I strike first with a surprise attack, I can react lightly.’
Even now, I have already taken over the space around me through that pressure.
Lee Soo-yeon was always looking at me with a serious expression.
“Are you sure?”
Although it may sound like a provocative tone at first glance.
That was not it.
Seriously, you were asking me. And he was expecting to hit her with an attack.
You can tell just by looking at those eyes.
As a man. And as a big-time villain called Unknown.
I didn’t want to disappoint Lee Soo-yeon.
And for me too.
It was a golden opportunity to properly check my potential.
“Let’s try it.”
The baseball-shaped orb in his hand immediately began to resonate with mana.
***
Whirly Rick-
The fireball I threw flew toward Instructor Lee Soo-yeon.
Perong-
But it also went wrong. It exploded in midair while missing.
“Not bad. If it doesn’t fit, it’s useless.”
Since he dodged it so easily, he might have tried to provoke me even more.
Instructor Lee Soo-yeon’s expression was still serious.
‘Even though it was a diversionary attack.’
Even so, I definitely targeted Lee Soo-yeon at the instructor and fired the attack.
Because I had to realize the gap between her and me.
I used the skill about 4 times in a row.
After all, there was no such thing as a fireball.
Authority ‘Fire that burns from mana heart’.
It was this ability disguised as my secondary authority.
[warrant]——-
[The power is being activated.]
* Burning fire from mana heart (N) / 3 / lv.20 (+1) / Wizard (Fire), Flame
[Check available skills.]
▶ Active skill
* Fireball (lv.3)
: Quickly creates a sphere of fire that accelerates with flame mana. Explodes when hitting an opponent.
* Flame (lv.2) / Signature Skill
: Creates a whirlpool of flames with enormous firepower.
▶ Passive skill
* Firepower training (lv.4)
: Fire spells have faster mana acceleration.
——-
The fireball that uses that power is a normal skill, not a signature skill.
Of course, the casting speed and firepower are nothing special.
For Lee Soo-yeon, dodging the attack must have been easier than breathing.
In addition, Instructor Lee Soo-yeon has a special power called ‘Critical Eye’.
With an eye close to that feat, you can see through the weak points and timing that can deliver a critical hit at once.
Of course, the experience accumulated through that authority is also applied to one’s own body.
You know exactly what your weaknesses are. Never allow critical hits.
‘Still, the firepower training passive is already level 4. Even so, I can’t even brush Lee Soo-yeon.’
[item]——-
[Appraise the target item.]
* Name: Crimson Flickering Orb / Rare + / Fire / lv.1
▣ Details
: It is an item refined with flame attribute manastone. The magic stone’s high purity effectively controls the user’s mana flow and resonance. Power increases when using copper property spells.
: A special effect is added whenever the level of enhancement increases.
——-
Besides, I was using the special orb that Song Xia gave me.
An orb that flickers in crimson.
It is a magic tool made of magic stones with flame properties.
Even in Rain Weapons, it is a high-end item with a price range of over 10 million won.
As such, even though it corrected all abilities related to spells, it still did not reach Lee Soo-yeon.
‘Well, it’s still a great development.’
With the previous status, it was absolutely impossible to use a fire spell with high mana consumption 4 times in a row.
That’s how I continued to fire additional fireballs.
“Simply launching an attack several times doesn’t guarantee a hit. My Critical Eye can perfectly spot loopholes in spells.”
Suyeon Lee was right.
So, I could immediately understand why Soo-yeon Lee had placed the condition on me to try to hit her.
‘If the physical specs are insufficient, it is not easy to hit and evade the skill.’
In particular, as now, the gap becomes even more severe against opponents with superior specs than me.
No matter how many ways the firepower of the skill was raised.
It’s useless if you don’t hit the opponent.
Lee Soo-yeon is directly pointing out my problems identified through training and evaluation so far through sparring.
‘If it’s the current stats, it must mean that it’s not easy with simple tactics.’
I briefly checked my current status.
[Status]——
[Expanded Status] / All stats +10 (Unknown Mask)
* Strength: 40 [endurance 15 strength 15 balance 10]
* Speed: 33 [main power 15 reaction 10 attack speed 8]
* Intellect: 39 (+6) [Calculation 20 (+3) Casting Speed 20 (+2) Spell Durability 9 (+1)]
* Magical Power: 25 [Mana Efficiency 20 Faith 5]
* Spirit: 100
——-
Compared to before, the stats have risen considerably.
I received a stat bonus through the last dungeon evaluation quest and the awakening level that reached level 51.
Intellect, which will be used as the main stat in the future, has risen to nearly 40.
‘Although Unknown’s mask has suckers.’
Not only that.
As it is now, if you awaken the demonic power that has been awakened through Songxia’s vampirism.
Through that demonization, you can increase your overall stats by an additional 20.
It means that the main stat rises to 60.
Lim Jae-ho’s main stat will be a little over 70 right now.
Compared to the past, it was a great improvement.
‘But demonization cannot be used recklessly.’
Demonization consumes a lot of mana as much as it greatly raises the body specs.
In fact, the time he was able to sustain his demonization against Yun Kun-woo was 5 seconds.
In addition, there is a debuff that reduces mental strength by 50 for demonization.
In its current state, it was not a special effect that could be used all the time.
‘If the orb had been strengthened using gold, it would have had a stat increase effect…’
However, despite having enough gold, he did not deliberately strengthen the orb.
Among the off-the-shelf items called Rare+, it is the highest quality item.
That’s why my orb was a refined item with pure flame magic stone.
‘If you optimize before strengthening. Because the efficiency of reinforcement is much higher.’
So, I was deliberately using the orb in its pure state.
Right in front of you is the perfect opponent for that optimization.
“I’ll give you another 30 seconds. Am I not attacking? Because there must be such a limiting condition.”
In other words, if you don’t hit yourself with an attack within 30 seconds.
The sparring with Lim Jae-ho meant not to dream.
‘That’s troublesome.’
There is an MVP ring that maximizes training efficiency.
I didn’t want to miss that stat surge event.
If it’s Lim Jae-ho’s specs, it’s on the same level as the high class.
That’s why it’s the best opponent for Dalian during regular training.
I was focused.
And within 30 seconds, I pictured in my head a few ways to make sure the attack hits.
‘The number of cases is very small. The odds are low, but…’
But it’s not necessarily impossible.
To me, this is Yun Kun-woo’s signature skill.
Because you have the experience of spilling Indra yourself.
No matter how demonized the buff was, in fact, it was impossible with the original balance.
‘I’m going to use that method in reverse.’
It’s a situation that seems so impossible, of course.
High spirits were telling me.
As long as you calmly find the number, there is definitely a way out.
The fireball attack I tried several times before.
Through that attack, Instructor Lee Soo-yeon’s evasion pattern was grasped to some extent.
And another skill I have, Mirror Summon.
I was thinking of making a variable with that paddle I had.
after a while
When the 30 seconds she gave me were reduced to 5 seconds.
I activated the skill towards her.
