After Returning, My Abilities are Infinite

Chapter 13: The Ogre in the Pocket (2)

The Ogre in the Pocket (2)

‘You have found a huge gem.’

Guild, scouter Yeo-jun Kim from the ‘Explorer’s Eye’, still wasn’t able to calm down.

‘Is that really a cadet’s 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.

It’s not a cadet’s 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.

“It’s at a level that I don’t dare to guess how much he’s been training.”

Nevertheless, his efforts were not wasted.

Kim Yeo-Joon smiled.

“You have a great prospect.”

He cannot know.

It’s been a day since Jeong Si-woo started wielding a sword in earnest, and it wasn’t 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… You’ve 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, I’m 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.”

“I’m not going to measure. I don’t think that’s 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? It’s 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 don’t know who would be the enemy. It’s easy for me to keep records of detailed information and figures of my own abilities.”

“… Our ‘Explorer’s Eye’ guild boasts the highest level of information power and superior security. In that respect, you don’t have to worry.”

“Haha. I don’t think it’s time yet.”

Until I’m 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 can’t help you. ”

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

He probably figured out that I was stubborn.

“This wasn’t 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.

[He’s 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 don’t have a network, after graduating from the academy, instead of meeting with guild officials, you will be preparing for the hunter’s 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.

There’s no one to believe anyway, so it’s better for me to do everything.

Toktok.

I drummed the desk with my fingers.

I have a lot to think about. I don’t have to worry too much, as this is the name of the sponsor.”

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

“It’s 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 explorer’s eyes, right?

This is precisely what happened at this time.

If the Explorer’s Eyes are involved, I don’t know if I’ll be able to do much.

Anyway, over time, money will fall like snow … No matter how much you support artifacts or armor, it’s just children’s toys compared to what I know.

If so, it’s 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 Explorer’s Eyes as a field trip?”

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

It’s 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… That’s right.”

Even if the first-level hunters grabbed their ankles and begged for it, they didn’t blink.

Even a third-class hunter’s scouter was only attractive when he grabbed the form.

‘But if it helps me, it doesn’t matter if it’s level 3 or level 1.’

Pity.

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

Kim Yeo-jun’s 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 didn’t 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 <Explorer’s 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 student’s laptop.

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

Messenger?

Was there a function like this?

I didn’t know about it because I didn’t 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. I’ve 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. I’ll see you next week.

-Yoo Ji-Yeon: Oh, really? Thanks ??! I’ll 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.

[It’s a good time.]

“Ah, yes. It’s just a good time. Youth. ”

[… I wasn’t 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. I’m 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 Empire’s 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 Empire’s Valorous Knights’, ‘Imperial Swordsmanship’ changes to ‘Valstaya Empire Swordsmanship’.]

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

[‘The soul’s 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, today’s 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.

“It’s 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 it’s worthwhile to stick with the prosecutors of the academy’s 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.

“That’s 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 Explorer’s 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 weren’t like the knights wearing black armor.

-Whoa!

Colleagues who have always been together.

People who weren’t 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 Empire’s 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 Empire’s Valorous Knights’]

[Now you can ‘Balstaya Empire’s Brave Knights’ and ‘Link’.]

[All physical abilities increase significantly.]

That day, I was once again recognized.
