The Ogre in the Pocket (2)

You have found a huge gem.

Guild, scouter Yeo-jun Kim from the Explorers Eye, still wasnt able to calm down.

Is that really a cadets sword?

The sword that Jung Si-woo showed was art.

The flow of sword, which flowed through itself, was like a dance in itself. The momentum contained in each of those strikes was as deadly as that of an expert prosecutor.

However, the masterpiece was a sword that was crafted at the last minute.

Its not a cadets sword. It is like a sword wielded by an experienced hunter.

No, maybe better than some hunters swords.

Even though his power was weak, the skill and effort concentrated on the sword was excellent.

Probably a cadet who has been training his sword since childhood.

Its at a level that I dont dare to guess how much hes been training.

Nevertheless, his efforts were not wasted.

Kim Yeo-Joon smiled.

You have a great prospect.

He cannot know.

Its been a day since Jeong Si-woo started wielding a sword in earnest, and it wasnt even 24 hours since he pledged to train his sword

Oh, have you waited long?

No. I came here early. I thought it would take a while.

Haha Youve exceeded your appointment time quite a bit. Sorry.

Well, since this is the first time, you must be anxious. I understand. When I first met with a guild official, I was so nervous. I had to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes

Yes, Im a little nervous.

Jung Si-woo also smiled.

* * *

Do you know why I came here today? Did you listen well to Officer Park?

Yeah. You are here to help me with precision measurements.

Kim Yeo-Joon nodded.

I told you that we need our instruments for the re-awareness test. Officer Park was an old colleague, and I had a plan to find an academy, so I came immediately.

Alas

So, do you know how to measure? It may take time because the measurement method is more difficult than the academy device.

Wait.

Im not going to measure. I dont think thats necessary.

Yes?

Kim Yeo-Joon went blank at my answer.

I thought a lot about this as I listened to instructor Park Hyun-suk. The first awakening ability was easily revealed, but is it necessary to make precise measurements of the reawakened ability? Its already written in detail on the status, should I do what the record will say?

I thought that the hunters only enemies were monsters. No one seemed to be an enemy when I had only one trait, but now there are people I have to watch out for.

I looked at the scouter and said.

As with dealing with monsters, information is the most important thing when fighting someone. I dont know who would be the enemy. Its easy for me to keep records of detailed information and figures of my own abilities.

Our Explorers Eye guild boasts the highest level of information power and superior security. In that respect, you dont have to worry.

Haha. I dont think its time yet.

Until Im strong enough, no one gets to know my status.

He smiled bitterly.

This ability raised me from a failed crisis to a full score, but I have to hide it until I can fight.

Well, if you do, I cant help you.

As I continued to decline, Kim Yeo-Joon stopped persuading.

He probably figured out that I was stubborn.

This wasnt the original plan but, do you intend to receive sponsorship?

Sponsored?

And he brought out a whole new offer.

Yes. I can see straight away without measurements that you are exceptionally talented.

[Hes playing. How did he judge your talent by looking at it? At most, your swordsmanship perhaps. He must have guessed your physical talent. Shhh ]

The traveler bit his tongue.

I thought about what Kim Yeo-jun said.

Sponsorship.

The term cadet cannot be contracted with the guild or the government, so it was meant to support the cadet before graduation.

What It would be okay to be sponsored.

Perhaps the reason the instructor Park Hyun-suk contacted this person was to try to make it possible for him to receive sponsorship.

If you dont have a network, after graduating from the academy, instead of meeting with guild officials, you will be preparing for the hunters test for years.

Since I made an appointment with a person on the guild side anyway, I was thinking about doing it correctly.

Capital can be made quickly if I so decided, but now I know.

In this state, I was likely to be unable to monopolize artifacts and elixirs that would be discovered later.

Theres no one to believe anyway, so its better for me to do everything.

Toktok.

I drummed the desk with my fingers.

I have a lot to think about. I dont have to worry too much, as this is the name of the sponsor.

When I mentioned taking more time, Kim Yeo-jun spoke sharply.

Its right to think carefully about the contract, but the sponsorship

Oh, maybe.

Then I ended him abruptly.

There was one thing that came to my mind suddenly.

The timing is just right Even the hunter in front of me belongs to the explorers eyes, right?

This is precisely what happened at this time.

If the Explorers Eyes are involved, I dont know if Ill be able to do much.

Anyway, over time, money will fall like snow No matter how much you support artifacts or armor, its just childrens toys compared to what I know.

If so, its not something that will happen anyway.

It would be beneficial to take care of what I could right now.

Is it possible to be sponsored to participate in the expedition in the Explorers Eyes as a field trip?

For example, safely intervene a crack that nobody knew of.

Its like catching a monster with an enormous treasure lurking in it.

* * *

[Why is that guy so talkative ]

You must have liked that. Somehow I was saying things like this to try to intertwine.

[Whatever the sweet words spoken, the weight of a word depends on the person who said it. That man was so small.]

What Thats right.

Even if the first-level hunters grabbed their ankles and begged for it, they didnt blink.

Even a third-class hunters scouter was only attractive when he grabbed the form.

But if it helps me, it doesnt matter if its level 3 or level 1.

Pity.

I laughed as I looked at the sponsorship papers in my hand.

Kim Yeo-juns face still remained vivid in my memory.

And maybe it will not be long before he contacted me.

There will be a simple strategy. Would you like to participate in a field trip?

The incident didnt seem to matter at first.

It was an event where I could get a lot of things if I cut in.

Jiik.

I checked the <Explorers Eye-Evil Spirit Pit> in the notebook.

Then, I tried to write down the somewhat regretful memories.

T-ring!

The alert came up on the students laptop.

When I opened the laptop, a community window for academy students came up.

Messenger?

Was there a function like this?

I didnt know about it because I didnt have anyone to contact or anything to receive.

There was a familiar name.

-Yoo Ji-Yeon: Si-woo, can I ask you a favor?

Request?

Did you have something to ask Yoo Ji-Yeon?

I pondered and replied.

-Jung Siwoo: Uh, tell me.

T-ring!

Within a few seconds, a reply arrived.

-Yoo Ji-Yeon: You gave me some advice during the actual evaluation. It was beneficial then. Ive been trying to do it myself, but I keep getting stuck Can you tell me one more time?

It was a small request.

-Jung Siwoo: Yes. Ill see you next week.

-Yoo Ji-Yeon: Oh, really? Thanks ! Ill buy rice!

Either way, I had to build a bond to the maximum, so it would be better to spend as much time as possible with Yu Ji-Yeon.

It would be nice to meet up and spend some time with her.

[Its a good time.]

Ah, yes. Its just a good time. Youth.

[ I wasnt expecting such a reaction.]

He made a face at my carefree words.

[Are you not sure of what happened earlier? I would have returned to the training field and swung the sword to see if it remained.]

Ah. Im going to go there sometime later today. My energy is completely depleted.

I replied with a smile.

Perhaps this is what travelers say.

[You were once acknowledged by the Valorya Empires Valorous Knights.]

[There is some experience in the sword.]

[Sword (E) grows to Sword (D)]

[Fencing (D) changes to Imperial Fencing (F)]

[If you are once more recognized by the Balstaya Empires Valorous Knights, Imperial Swordsmanship changes to Valstaya Empire Swordsmanship.]

[Through Communication and Sharing, I fell in love with an amazingly high immersion.]

[The souls price is partially elevated.]

Newly obtained, Imperial Fencing.

I was curious as well, but now the power to wield a stick, not black, is not enough.

[Yeah, be comfortable. Anyway, todays training is over.]

After that, I fell asleep.

* * *

No, traveler.

[Why?]

This is ridiculous.

As soon as I woke up, I visited the training ground in the early hours, holding my sword in my hand and bursting into laughter.

[What is absurd? The new fencing is so bad? This can happen. Swordsmanship is not enough for imperial swordsmanship.]

The traveler misunderstood my reaction completely. He stuck his tongue out.

Its not like that

As I looked at it, I scratched my head, looked back at the sword in my hand, and shook it once against the wooden doll.

Spatula.

Mook, Tuuk.

And the wooden doll, which served as a sandbag, vanished halfway through training the training sword.

I think its worthwhile to stick with the prosecutors of the academys graduate school now.

F-rank Imperial swordsmanship.

Its power was far superior to what I had imagined.

Your sword has no power.

Of course, the knight said that the power was still weak and needed to grow to a higher level.

Thats enough? Can you cut down the knights covered in steel armor?

no. Not this much.

Instead of grumbling, I replied with the expectation of how far this sword would grow.

Not enough steel. Anything that can be cut into pieces can be killed with a sword.

I agree with him.

All I need is strength.

At least, when you get into the Explorers Eyes, your skills will not be a waste.

We have prepared a countermeasure in case of a crisis.

The more you save, the better.

Kuwook.

I held the sword with more power and swung the sword again.

The enemies I imagined this time werent like the knights wearing black armor.

-Whoa!

Colleagues who have always been together.

People who werent close, those who were always far.

I was more comfortable in my hometown than anywhere else.

Families who were more precious than anyone else.

A world full of people.

And the end of my life.

The catastrophe that swallowed everything up.

I imagined monsters in front of my sword.

Hoo!

And.

[You have once again been acknowledged by the Balstaya Empires Valorous Knights.]

[Balstaya The Valorous Knights of the Empire acknowledged your bravery and fighting spirit.]

[Skill-Balstaya Empire Fencing (F) is created.]

Only

[Imperial swordsmanship (F) is incorporated into Balstaya Imperial swordsmanship (F)]

[Balstaya Imperial Swordsmanship grows from (F) (E)]

[I was so deeply immersed in the story.]

[You have met a certain level of ties with The Valorous Empires Valorous Knights]

[Now you can Balstaya Empires Brave Knights and Link.]

[All physical abilities increase significantly.]

That day, I was once again recognized.
