Chapter 86 – Sinabro (2)
The story is back to the point.
What professions should be added to the party?
“In the end, all you need is a melee dealer and a tanker.”
There are numerous job groups in the hunter industry.
The faster you go to a higher-ranked dungeon, the more you understand and combine those occupations, the speed and perceived difficulty of dungeon raids fluctuate greatly.
It’s the same now.
Tanks and melee dealers, which I said I needed, are just more comprehensive roles than classes.
In other words, it is important which of the people who belong to the currently required role group will be selected as a team.
“Um….”
Numerous faces are displayed on the screen of the tablet placed on the table.
All of them are freshman classmates who can form a team.
Those marked in gray mean that the team formation has already been completed.
As I looked at the faces of the students who had not yet been organized, a familiar face caught my eye.
Son Seo-yeon.
Why is he stuck here?
“… Wasn’t this person a sophomore?”
When I asked as indifferently as possible, Shin Yoo-jung gave me the answer she wanted.
“Oh, this old man? From what I hear, they say that they don’t have practical experience, so they’re going to be with first-year students this semester.”
“I see.”
No hands-on experience.
The Mage Tower is a place where one only learns and studies magic.
Looking at magic alone, it is far superior to the Korean university curriculum, but other than that, you can hardly learn the basic skills needed as a hunter.
Seoyeon will be the same.
He may have learned magic brilliantly, but he must have barely learned the knowledge as a hunter.
Lim Na-eun, who was next to her, helped out with a word.
“But you know what? Senior Lee, they say they take magic classes, basic swordsmanship, and even basic melee combat.”
… Swordsmanship in magic?
Does this guy want to become a magic swordsman?
That would be almost impossible.
It’s been decades since the hunter society has been established.
The number of geniuses born with talent for both sword and magic was quite large.
All of them did not want to rot either one, so they courageously challenged to catch two rabbits, sword and magic, but none of them could rise to the edge of A-class.
“I heard that was very inefficient.”
The answer lies in Shin Yoo-jung’s blunt words.
That it is simply inefficient.
With Son Si-woo’s body, I sharpened only one sword for nearly 30 years.
During that time, he had slashed and killed tens of thousands of monsters, wielded his sword alone for tens of thousands of hours, and competed with masters thousands of times before finally reaching the end.
Magic is no different.
Just like me, Han Joo-hee has perfected one magic for decades, and has reached this point.
Even though she and I were both regarded as having natural talents in our respective fields.
Even swords and magic are very different, even though the learning methods are different.
It is difficult to learn one training in one body, but doing two different trainings in parallel is not simply cutting the efficiency in half, but cutting it in half.
Human time is finite, but what you have to learn doubles, no, triples, so you lose or give up your life before you can achieve it.
So the word inefficient doesn’t come out and I wonder if it’s exhausting.
As countless failures accumulate, no one in modern times has the vain dream of becoming a magic swordsman.
If you have the talents of both, most people choose the mage’s path.
Wizards are a profession with a very low supply compared to demand, so they are treated well.
“But is that magic swordsman really possible?”
“Yes… , I don’t think so.”
In response to Shin Yoo-jung’s question, Im Na-eun shook her head.
“It’s so hard to learn just one magic, but learning the sword here….”
“But… , I’m dying to handle it like a sword and a shield, but swords and magic must be more difficult.”
Two people sharing opinions and making skeptical faces.
As for who wouldn’t be, I’m in the same position as them.
A magic swordsman, especially a true magic swordsman, could never be born in a normal way.
So, is it possible in an unusual way?
It’s possible
In my opinion, there are only two ways to become a true magic swordsman.
Being born with a level of talent that cannot be categorized even under the category of genius, or that I wonder if the sky accidentally let me be born on earth.
If not, you can live your life twice.
After learning only swords or magic for a lifetime and dying, in your second life, you only have to dig into the other one, right?
If you do that, you’ll be able to make both of them great.
Of course, using the two in harmony in battle is another matter.
A conversation between the two continued.
“But I saw this senior last time and he seems to be good at swordsmanship.”
“Yeah, I was surprised to see it too.”
“It’s just my opinion, but I don’t know about anyone else, but this senior might be able to do it.”
“Why?”
Shin Yoo-jung replies with a frustrated expression toward Im Na-eun, who asks back with an innocent expression.
“Why why? Do you not know who these senior parents are?”
“Ah, Hunter Son Si-woo and Hunter Joo-hee Han!”
“Okay. She is the daughter of two S-class hunters that no one in Korea can match with swords and magic. Since you were born with the genes of two people at the same time, how much is that talent, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, since Yoo-jung heard what you said, it could be so.”
Im Na-eun’s gaze suddenly turned to me.
“Dojin, what do you think?”
Her gaze focuses on me, who was still listening.
It’s my idea
“Well….”
The water flow sword technique that Seoyeon performed last time is still clearly in my mind.
As I said, I never told anyone, including her daughter-in-law.
If he really learned my swordsmanship by seeing it with his own eyes, he would fall under the former of the two uncommon methods mentioned above.
Then.
“Maybe it is possible?”
It was time to spit out the vague possibilities.
Drooling!
There was a loud noise from the wooden chairs and the marble floor rubbing against each other, and I felt a very strong presence behind me.
At the same time, the eyes of Lim Na-eun and Shin Yoo-jeong, who were sitting across from each other, widened, and finally jumped up from their seats.
“Stop, senior!”
“Ah….”
I turned my head back at the shocked expression of the two, and Sohn Seo-yeon, who was the center of our conversation a moment ago, is looking at us with a calm expression.
Judging by the sound of the chairs being dragged and the location, they must have been sitting behind us.
“I’m sorry. I really didn’t know you were there!”
“… I’m sorry.”
The two of them bowed their heads and apologized.
… Why are they suddenly like that?
Was there anything in our conversation that might offend him?
“Why are you suddenly apologizing?”
When I asked because I was curious, the two bruised me with their eyes, telling me to pay attention.
No, am I wrong?
When I was about to lift my feelings of injustice, Seo-yeon, who had been staring at me, finally opened her mouth.
“Dojin… My junior is right. You did nothing wrong.”
Look at this.
The person in question said that I was right, but why are they doing that out of fear among themselves? Won.
By the way… , It feels very strange to hear about juniors from my daughter-in-law.
The feeling of nailing down the fact that we are no longer in a father-daughter relationship.
It’s not a good feeling, but it’s ambiguous to see it as a bad feeling.
The only word that comes to mind is that it’s just weird.
I looked up at him in a daze and our eyes met.
Somewhere empty, dry eyes.
“I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but… , I heard she’s looking for a teammate.”
“… Yes.”
It’s cold.
“The place… , Can I fill it up? As a close dealer.”
“…….”
How come your ominous premonitions are not wrong?
A dilemma came.
Seriously, Seoyeon is definitely an outstanding resource among the remaining melee dealers.
In case of emergency, she can also be used as a distance dealer, so it would be correct to see her as an all-weather dealer, not a melee dealer.
She only did it once, but the swordsmanship she showed at that time was far superior to that of most first year swordsmen.
If you look at it this far, it’s a strange level if you don’t pull it out….
The problem is that I can’t see this child comfortably yet.
I know.
I have already become a different person, and since I decided to live as Kim Do-jin, this guy and I are not a father-daughter relationship, but a man-man relationship.
But where is the human heart?
I still need time.
Whether it’s the past or a past life… , To look at the old ties a little more aloof.
So, unfortunately, let’s decline the current offer.
“Anyway, that’s a bit difficult….”
“I agree!”
“If you are as skilled as you are… , There is no reason to refuse.”
“Then, since there are already two votes in favor, the decision has been made! Please take good care of me, senior!”
“I wish you well throughout the semester, senior.”
“… Please take care of me too.”
As if they had already made a decision, the three of them held hands and greeted each other amicably.
… Was it decided by majority vote?
