The Academy’s Only Monster Summoner

11 – Deep Exploration (3)

Korea Academy.

A one-of-a-kind searcher training facility jointly supported by the state and association.

An institution established to safely and systematically nurture those who have received the blessing of 5 cost.

As safety is the goal, the academy students receive various special treatment.

For example, preferential treatment for military exemption.

In order to register as a searcher, regardless of gender, you must fulfill your national defense obligations, but once you enter the academy, you can register as a searcher without enlisting in the military.

It was a special exception that was possible because there were very few humans who could cost 5 cost.

Of course, there are other practical reasons for military exemption.

Valuable talent with infinite potential for development.

It was to prevent them from being killed while defending against monsters from China, Russia, and North Korea, which were destroyed by dungeon breaks before they even grew up. In a big way, it is the same as causing a loss to the national power.

In addition, you receive several perks.

As much as the state pays taxes.

It is no wonder that the entire nation’s attention is focused on the academy.

Therefore, the entire nation was able to view information about the students, as well as check the practice process and training videos.

Through the Daehan Academy website.

“Ugh. How should I write this…”

A man tapping on a keyboard in front of a monitor.

Choo Min-guk, the professor in charge of the first year.

He was writing down the students’ overall reviews for April.

My fingers stopped writing down one student’s evaluation.

“Is this month’s evaluation of Lee Hyun-seong?”

Instructor who was in charge of refereeing during Dalian.

Tak Jae-hwan handed over the coffee and asked.

“Yes. I’m worried about what kind of evaluation I should make.”

“Hasn’t your attitude improved a lot lately?”

“That’s the problem. Until early-mid-April, there was no such thing as a jerk, but it suddenly changed in the second half.”

The two checked Lee Hyun-sung’s information column on the monitor screen.

[Lee Hyun-seong]

●1st grade.

Ranking: 60/60

●Age : 20

Occupation: Monster Summoner (First Class)

Evaluation

February

: I don’t see the effort at all.

:Severe alcohol poisoning.

: I’ve never seen him awake during theory class.

In March

: I don’t see any potential for development.

: I can’t do anything in the dungeon practice.

: A peculiar constitution that acute enteritis comes to every Dalian class.

April

:-

“February and March are the worst…”

“Yes. There are also a lot of bad comments.”

Their eyes were directed to the comment section below.

Should we raise this bastard with our taxes?

I can’t see the answer. Why are you still not expelled?

ㄴIf you watch the dungeon practice video, he sees a 1-star monster and runs away.

B f*ck. If you’re going to spend 5 cost like that, give it to me.

It also looks like a f*cking bully.

ㄴ Just by looking at it, it seems like he has a bad personality. It’s clear that what you’re doing is half the dog. Home education is so important.

Please refrain from personal attacks… Lee Hyun-seong is also working hard in his own way… And, to me, it looks innocent…

Awful comments.

There is only one saffle.

Choo Min-guk laughed awkwardly and raised the scroll again.

“Hmmm. How about writing a good review this time?”

Tak Jae-hwan coughed and said.

Professor Choo Min-guk also wanted to do that, but…

“You can’t just look at the end of April and write an evaluation, right? ha. The gap between the early and middle and the second half is too big, so I don’t know how to write this down…”

Choo Min-guk pondered and continued.

“To give a good evaluation, there is no guarantee that student Lee Hyun-seong will show the same appearance in the month of May. It could be a fleeting whim.”

It’s been a while since I just clicked the mouse in my distraught mind.

Min-guk Choo sighs once and starts tapping the keyboard as if he has made up his mind.

April

:Until mid-April, same as previous evaluation.

:Recently, he actively participates in class without falling asleep, and is showing improvement in Dalian. It is estimated that if we continue to work hard as we are now, the potential for development will be considerable.

Press the Enter key to finish writing.

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who was watching from the side, slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

“After saying that, you wrote it down pretty nicely in the end. Is this a tsundere or something?”

“What is a tsundere… I just decided to believe that student Lee Hyun-seong will continue to show good performances next month. No matter what, you are my student and disciple. I have to support you.”

Choo Min-guk wrote all the student evaluations for April.

After uploading a Dalian video, he stretched and raised his body.

“The Dalian video was also well selected. There will be no doubt about the evaluation, so it will be fine.”

“Certainly, it was impressive for a match between the lowest ranked students. By the way, did you edit that?”

“Did Baek Chi-yeol mention Lee Hyeon-seong’s family history? Of course, the voice was removed.”

“I’m glad.”

After that, the conversation about the students went back and forth for a long time.

around an hour or so.

“Then I have work, so I’ll go now.”

Tak Jae-hwan bowed lightly and left, taking out his cell phone from his pocket as he walked down the hallway.

And the Daehan Academy homepage to access.

Touch the list of first year students.

After clicking Lee Hyun-sung’s information, check the comment section.

Maybe it’s because there are a lot of unemployed people who have nothing to do.

Or, are you particularly interested in Daehan Academy?

Even though it’s been a while since I updated, there were quite a lot of comments.

ㄴ Anyway… I believed… If you work harder, someday, I think you will be able to rank first…

ㄴ Suddenly, the evaluation changes like this? Isn’t it a masterpiece?

ㄴI came to see the Dalian video, and they fought pretty well. It merged with the monsters and drove the opponent. But still, it’s okay.

ㄴLee Hyun-seong You’ve never had sparring before. I’m curious. Can anyone post a link to the video?

ㄴAt the top of the homepage, there is a Dalian video tab.

Tak Jae-hwan also writes a comment on a sub account.

Hoping that public opinion on Lee Hyun-seong will flow in a good direction tomorrow.

ㄴAt this level, you’ll be able to get to level 3 explorer in no time! Hyunsung Lee Fighting!

He puts the phone back in his pocket with a satisfied smile.

And Lee Hyun-seong remembered the job he had.

‘Monster Summoner… It’s a job that treats our main enemy as a summoned beast. There is absolutely no such thing as a low-key job.’

I didn’t tea.

From the beginning of the semester, Tak Jae-hwan had highly evaluated the job of being a monster summoner.

As expected, a small smile appeared on his lips, saying that his eyes were not wrong.

‘Come to think of it, it’s not a contract, it’s said that summoned beasts are created by collecting monster fragments… I don’t know why they kept such information hidden and only revealed it now. Whatever the reason, it’s good to have a sense of improvement.’

It was just a pity that Lee Hyun-seong was not showing his true value properly, but I felt a sense of joy when I saw that he had recently started to change.

‘Next time, I’ll ask how many monsters can be evolved. Of course, it wouldn’t be possible to go up to 5 stars, and even if I could only evolve it to 4 stars, I would have become an all-time great summoner.’

For the disciple who wants to wake up and change.

It was Tak Jae-hwan who even thought that he should prepare for special training.

***

“Isn’t there a boss?”

Baek So-ah, who followed, checked the inside of the boss room.

There is only one box left unattended.

Because I couldn’t see the monster’s face.

but.

“There you are. Hidden Boss.”

The boss was right in front of us.

“yes? where?”

“that.”

I pointed to the box.

I didn’t know about the hidden boss room here, but it’s a fact that I can know if I think about it a little. That that box over there is the owner of this boss room.

Did Baek So-ah realize it only then?

I took a lookout, taking distance from the box.

“Could that be a mimic?”

“I don’t think there’s a high chance of that, considering that I can’t see any other monsters.”

“I haven’t heard of a mimic appearing as a boss.”

Mimic.

Trap type monster.

The risk level is equivalent to 2 stars, but if you don’t know how to open the box, it’s harmless.

“What would you give me if I caught it?”

“If you just catch it, they will give you a skill. Because it’s a hidden boss.”

“It’s a skill given by Mimic… I don’t think I’ll need it.”

As Baek So-ah said, it was obvious that the skills that the Mimic gave would not matter much.

‘If I can get it, I have to get the item.’

Five things you can get from dungeons in common.

hearthstone.

awakening stone.

item.

general skill.

ability level.

Items are distinguished here from artifacts.

Because it is not artificially created.

In addition, most of them perform better than artifacts, and the market price is much higher.

How to get such an item from a mimic.

I know how.

“Then I’ll get rid of it right away. Because it seems like I’m the only one who can attack from a distance.”

“no. I won’t kill you.”

Why would you just kill it?

You have to take out what you want to take out and kill it.

“…just to go? Even if you don’t think they’ll give you good skills, it’s too wasteful to just leave them alone.”

“Who is leaving? I do it to get an item.”

“Don’t you know that mimics don’t give out items? And how are you going to get it without holding it?”

Baek So-ah’s reaction is also understandable.

Currently in Korea.

It’s because there’s a misconception that mimics are basically monsters that don’t drop items.

“I’m just watching.”

I put down my backpack and took out an artifact I had brought with me.

Class C artifact.

bandage of protection.

‘I didn’t know, so I brought it, but I never thought something like this would happen.’

It was an artifact Lee Hyeon-seong bought in the past because he was afraid of dungeon practice.

The guy who didn’t even explore the dungeon properly bought various types of artifacts.

Even taking out a loan.

You have to pack your shit in moderation too.

I have to pay for all these things…

‘I was as good as buying a bandage artifact.’

I unwrapped the bandage and wrapped it around my right hand.

An artifact made with 2-star magic stones.

The Mimic’s attack can be sufficiently blocked.

“Kwaebi. Clay. Gather together for a moment.”

After calling the summoned monsters and informing them of their respective roles.

Together, the three slowly approached the Mimic.

Like a trap monster.

There is no movement until you touch it.

We spread a certain distance and surrounded the Mimic.

The moment I give a signal.

─Kei!

─Puu!

Kkaebi quickly grabbed the lid of the Mimic.

At the same time, Clay fixed the bottom of the Mimic with mud.

ㅡKirik! Kirik!

I enter the glowing Mimic’s mouth.

In other words, he boldly put his right hand into the box.

‘eww. Even with a bandage, it still stings.’

I feel a slight burning pain.

Given my current abilities.

If I had just accidentally put my arm in, I would have suffered serious burns.

As I continued to stir my arms, I felt something catch on the back of my hand.

“great. Get one for now.”

Grab the object right away and pull it out.

A plain looking dagger came with it.

What items did you come up with?

The result of checking with a beating heart.

[Old Dagger (F)]

■-

“…”

···Okay.

Because it’s not over yet.

I put my arm back in.

“Spit something good!”

ㅡKiririk!

Hoping for the next item to win.
