chapter 223
223 – Power Increase – 4
When I came out from training with Cheon Soo-ho, it was almost the time of my appointment. I didn’t have anything to take, so I just changed my clothes and went out to the front gate of the academy and saw people already there.
“Welcome~!”
Elizabeth, a blonde beauty wearing a white dress and a brown cardigan, was waving at me. Seeing that he was out alone, it looks like the others haven’t arrived yet.
“You left early?”
“Hohoho!! Better late than not, right?!”
There are still about 10 minutes left until the appointment time. I lifted the device to check the time and then snapped my fingers.
The time has come to refit Elizabeth’s equipment.
“Are you using the blessed sword well?”
“yes!”
“Okay then… let’s go get a new sword.”
“Yes? Uh… But I’m satisfied enough with the sword right now…”
Elizabeth will soon reach S rank. For someone like that, a blessed sword is not enough. I think I should at least use Excalibur.
After meeting Azazel, my aptitude was strengthened and I gained other skills, so I might be able to go to the ruins to get Excalibur.
“Hmm. No. I’m not asking for that sword back. I’m just saying that it would be better to use a better sword.”
But Elizabeth’s expression did not improve much. I looked at her, smiled, and held her hand.
“I’ll give you the other equipment I made next time. Something pretty.”
“Uh, um. That’s not why…”
That’s right, it’s because of that. It definitely looks even better, seeing as his expression instantly improves.
“Hey~! We’re here!”
“What are you two doing holding hands?”
When I turned my head, I saw Yoo Cho-ah and Jin Si-yeon approaching. Jin Si-yeon, who was looking at me and Elizabeth holding hands with sharp eyes, rushed over.
“What were you doing?”
“We were holding hands? Ah, Siyeon. Do you have a good time next week?”
“…If you catch me too.”
I smiled at her pouting and held her hand. Jin Si-yeon, who seemed to feel relieved only then, thought for a moment and nodded.
“Yeah. It’s a good time, but why?”
“I’m going to go get Elizabeth’s equipment. I need a strong dealer. I also need a healer.”
“Me?! Me?!”
“You are required to participate.”
Among dealers with strong range attacks, there is no one like Yu Cho-ah. She clenched her fists and was delighted.
“And a strong tank…”
“Hey! You came quickly!!”
There’s an excellent tank wandering around. If it were that guy, he would definitely go.
On the way to Hyejeong’s store in Jeju Island, I told her about the ruins I had to visit this time.
Avalon. Everyone looked a bit surprised when they heard that they had to go to a utopia between life and death.
“Avalon… Excalibur really exists?”
“huh.”
“Oh… that’s interesting. Huh? Wait a minute. Hey. Then maybe…”
“Yes. You can get the elixir there.”
“…Sounds like it’s going to be extremely difficult.”
“Do you think Elixir can be obtained that easily? Of course, it’s very difficult. And you’ll have to take Breath with you, too. And you’ll also need about two healers.”
Old man Breath. And Gijunyeol and Serenia. In addition, you must also bring at least one A-level or higher hero from the Taylor family.
The level of difficulty proved that Excalibur was a difficult piece of equipment to obtain.
“Excalibur… That sounds good, right?”
“I’m so surprised, I don’t even know if it’s good or not… Johan. You really know a lot. How do you find such things?”
“I googled it.”
In fact, it was obtained through memories of a past life, deciphering old books found in the library, and analyzing theological books.
There is quite a lot of information that can be obtained by going to the library of the academy or association, but strangely, few people go there.
“Just kidding… if something like that were to come out on the internet, people would have already found it.”
I don’t believe it either. I didn’t really ask anyone to believe it, so I just smiled and moved on.
“Do you know where the other equipment is?”
“To what extent? Why?”
“No. Since it’s called Avalon, I was wondering if I could get Pridwen.”
A shield from the legend of King Arthur. It refers to a beautiful and powerful shield with the face of the Virgin Mary engraved on it.
But unfortunately, Friedwen cannot be saved.
As far as I know, Friedwen is not implemented in Hero Academia. Of course, it may be because of the differences between reality and games, but at least I don’t know.
“It’s a shame.”
“Isn’t the Tiger Shield a good shield?”
The shield he is using right now is a good shield that can be considered a relic. That’s enough, the child is greedy.
“Why don’t we get John’s equipment separately?”
“This is enough for me right now.”
“Is that so… I’m worried that you always seem to prioritize other people’s things over your own.”
“Okay. Hey. The stronger your buff is, the better it will be overall, so take care of your equipment too.”
Are you taking good care of yourself?! As Jin Si-yeon said, if I become stronger, other people will also become stronger, so I am working hard to take care of it…
“Sleep. Let’s talk about that later. Hyejeong is waiting over there.”
“Hey. Well, I don’t want you guys to say that you can get elixir there.”
As Cheon Soo-ho spoke, we looked at him.
Isn’t it a good story? It would be especially good news since Hyejeong’s condition is not good these days…
“…He’ll be worried. If he finds out I’m going to a dangerous place to get the elixir for him.”
Well, I guess so.
“I understand how you feel.”
“…Can’t you understand our feelings too?!”
omg. Is this what happens?
I avoided Jin Si-yeon’s gaze, which was glaring at me. But next to them were Elizabeth’s sad eyes and Yu Choa’s angry eyes.
Ugh… it’s my fault.
“All. I will be careful from next time.”
“Because I still remember what you did when we captured Baphomet.”
“What did you do?”
Cheon Soo-ho, who did not participate in the black dungeon raid, was puzzled and freaked out after hearing Yu Cho-ah, Elizabeth, and Jin Si-yeon’s explanations.
“Are you crazy?”
“No. You were competing with your own confidence and potential, right?”
“Take care of him. I’m scared he’ll do something crazy again. Hey.”
“I will definitely do that!!”
You’re not listening to me.
Well, what can I say? I decided to just stay quiet.
“Hehe. Welcome. You still look good.”
“Ah! Nice to meet you! Hyejeong! How have you been?”
Looking at his slightly pale face, it doesn’t look like he’s doing very well. Our capybara Yuchoa naturally approached her and said hello. Hyejeong seemed to like her comfortable atmosphere and smiled sweetly and nodded slightly.
“Yes, thanks. Oh, and congratulations on conquering the black dungeon.”
“Ehehe~.”
“Then shall we go in? Please eat lunch first.”
When I entered the store, the table was already set up. When I went into the reserved seating area and sat down, my aunts quickly came out and prepared me a meal.
“I have work to do, so… I’ll come down after dinner.”
“Yes. I’m resting.”
“Hehe. Enjoy it.”
She gives Cheon Soo-ho a kiss on the cheek and goes up. The condition looks really bad as it stumbles slightly.
“…Can we really go that far?”
“Try to train consistently for about two weeks. At your current growth rate, you should be able to go if nothing special happens.”
“It’s a special event… There’s no academic schedule, so it’s going to be about villains.”
“yes.”
When villains run rampant, we have no choice but to move.
Especially considering the main event, the Blade of Dawn will begin to move in earnest from now on.
“why?”
“Just because it’s pretty.”
“Ehehehehe~!”
As I talked about the Blade of Dawn, my eyes naturally fell on Yoo Cho-ah.
She, who was chewing the meat in her mouth, laughed heartily, as if she was pleased by my words, and Elizabeth and Jin Si-yeon looked at me with expressions of anticipation.
Guys. You guys are pretty too.
By the time we finished eating, Hyejeong came down. Cheon Soo-ho, who had put her in an old van parked in the parking lot, motioned to us.
“I’m always thinking about this. Why don’t you change the car?”
“later.”
There is one reason why Cheon Soo-ho, who earns a lot of money, saves money like this. To buy elixir when it comes up for auction.
So, if I get Elixir this time, I’ll probably buy a nicer car.
“But where is it?”
“Hehe. It’s only a short distance away, so please look forward to it. It’s a very beautiful place.”
Maybe it’s because it makes me feel proud, but I’m looking forward to it even more. When I got into the car and drove about 10 minutes.
“Wow…!!”
Pink waves were rippling. The pink muhly swaying in the gentle wind is beautiful. And the other side is a purple wave. It was a beautiful scene with lots of cosmos in bloom.
“So cool…!!”
“There’s my cafe a little further from here. Let’s have tea there and then go. Or, since we’ll be there first, would you like to come to the cafe? It’s nice to take a walk.”
“Yes! Yes! I will!”
The car stops, and when we get out it starts again. Elizabeth, Jin Si-yeon, and Yoo Cho-ah were all amazed by the beautiful scenery around them.
“John! John!”
When I turned my head at the sudden shout, Yu Choa ran quickly into the cosmos field. Then he sat down and shouted proudly.
“Look for me!!”
“Ohhoho!! Look for me too!”
“Me. Me too…!”
Laughing at Yoo Cho-ah’s behavior, the other two also went into the flower garden and shouted brightly.
After all, I have to pretend I can’t find this, right?
