chapter 10
“This is the job you can choose after completing the training institute. Next, we will tell you about the conditions that are suitable for each job place.”
Lee Soo-yeon looked at Class A with a light smile.
“First of all, class A doesn’t need any conditions. As long as you complete the training institute, you will be able to enter wherever you want without any restrictions.”
I meant nothing to worry about.
Well, it was only natural that Sophia, who brought me here, was going to be hired as a police officer.
And she started the lecture and turned her eyes to Class B for the first time.
“However, for class B, upon completion of the training center, the evaluation is divided from A to F. At this time, only A grade can be applied to the police, and D grade or lower cannot apply to authorized institutions.”
Finally, she looked at Class C.
There was a subtle hatred in his gaze.
“Finally, Class C has no choice. In the case of Class C, you will be evaluated as pass or fail, and even if you pass, you will be selected by the desired institution, so please be aware of that.”
After listening, there was a considerable level of discrimination in each class.
It didn’t matter because I was in class A, but what about the other classes?
With that thought in mind, I glanced to the side.
As expected, class B and class C didn’t look very good.
In particular, some of the C-class guys are suppressed because of the assistants.
There were also those that looked like they would explode at the slightest touch.
Will I be able to use it as an exorcist?
I think it’s just an accident.
While I was thinking about that, I accidentally met someone from Class C.
“·······”
that was a woman
Age never seems too old.
If you just look at it, you’re in your teens, but if you think about it, you’re in your early 20s.
If you think about the order in which you sit, it’s number 6.
Unlike the others, he had a very calm face.
And even when she sees me, she gives me an empty gaze without any reaction.
“Then, the morning training ends here.”
As soon as Suyeon Lee finished speaking, the teaching assistants moved Class B and Class C.
In an instant, they slipped away like the ebb tide, and all that was left was Class A.
***
Two weeks have passed since then.
The education at the training center was a repetition of theory and practice.
In particular, the practice consisted mainly of weapon training and exorcism using Han.
Is it because of the addition of daily physical training?
All of a sudden, the trainees were at a level where they managed to show off their posture when they raised their weapons.
And I also improved my stamina, which was like garbage.
Whiik!
With a light wind noise, the spanner struck Han, the target of the practice.
“Geee-”
Then, like a black shadow, it was crushed like a plastic bag hit by a club, and then it disappeared.
“It’s easy.”
level 9.
In other words, it was just before becoming a spirit, but it was just one shot.
Although my monkey spanner is also powerful.
It was thanks to the combat skills that I remembered that I finally showed my strength when I had a certain amount of stamina.
It’s to the point where I can’t even exercise anymore.
<The monster has fallen!>
<Experience gained.>
<Level Up! You have reached level 5!>
“Level 5…”
Compared to my growth, the rate of level rise was slow.
I thought it would be fast because even if I caught one in level 1, it would be level 2.
Even if you beat and kill more than 10 Hans in the past 2 weeks, you are now level 5.
It was only three steps up.
In comparison, Lee Hyeon-seok, who was level 5, was already 10, and Kim Da-young, who was 8, was already 12.
The initial level was lower, but the growth was slow, so the level difference was wider.
what the hell is the problem
“hmm?”
But then, suddenly, the quiet quest icon started to flash.
Since it was opened, there has been no change, to the point of forgetting that it exists.
Did something happen just now?
I immediately opened the quest window.
Then there were three unseen quests floating there.
<F: Reach level 10!>
<F: Complete Lee Soo-yeon’s quest!>
<D: Win against Dayoung Kim!>
huh?
After reading the quest, I tilted my head.
It’s the first quest, what.
The simple and clear condition to become level 10. So there was nothing to think about.
However, the F in front of it… is it a rank?
Certainly, that was the rank of quests that adventurers received in the fantasy world.
Starting from F, the lowest basic rank, to A.
Of course, because I was a hero, there were times when I cleared S, Double, or Triple S, the highest rank, as well as the highest rank, Ex.
Then it made sense that it was an F rank.
It’s a quest that only requires you to reach a level, so it must be that easy.
But the problem was then.
“request?”
It’s Lee Soo-yeon’s request.
Until recently, she has been receiving one-on-one training with Soo-yeon Lee whenever she has individual training.
However, no matter how much I tried to remember, I couldn’t remember receiving a request from her.
Moreover, the next quest was even more absurd.
To win from Dayoung Kim?
In order to win, you must fight first.
But why am I fighting with Dayoung Kim?
Besides, the quest is a whopping D rank.
“What do you mean…”
I clicked my tongue in frustration.
Looking around, the education was over before I knew it.
Today as well, Class B and C left the Ururu Auditorium as soon as the training was over.
The remaining Class A also starts to move one by one.
So I was thinking of going to my room and thinking about it more.
“Mr. Kang Jin-woo. Are you all right for a moment?”
Lee Soo-yeon spoke up.
“Yes, you can.”
“I would like to tell you about the reward we promised before.”
compensation?
Oh, and I saw that there was such a thing.
In the first practice, Han turned into a spirit, and it was compensation for the fact that I almost got hurt.
“Ah, yes.”
“Then this way.”
Suyeon Lee took me to a small office in the corner of the auditorium.
I sat across from her at a small table.
Lee Soo-yeon immediately got to the point.
“I told the trainee director about it, and he suggested several plans. Its content is-”
After hearing Lee Soo-yeon’s explanation, I nodded.
There were many missal phrases attached, but the conclusion was simple.
First was money.
The quickest and easiest solution.
And the second was a miracle.
He said that there are some sacred instruments kept at the training center, but three of them were sealed because of problems.
If this problem is solved, the training center will give you the shoes you want out of the ones you keep.
By the way, when I asked about the value of the sacred items, they said that they were several times more precious than the money I would receive.
“hmm···”
I pretended to be worried and fell into thought.
In fact, Lee Soo-yeon’s proposal itself was nothing to worry about.
There was no need to reject the second offer, given that the money could be received even if the seal of the god was not lifted.
However, the thing that bothered me… was none other than the quest.
Was this to fulfill Lee Su-yeon’s request?
If it’s real, that’s pretty amazing.
I don’t know who the person giving the quest is, but isn’t that saying he’s looking into the future?
So I decided to ask Lee Soo-yeon a question for confirmation.
“It’s out of the blue, but what’s the next practice by any chance?”
“yes?”
It must have been really out of the blue, so Suyeon Lee hesitated for a while.
“Dalian. Exorcists often engage in hand-to-hand combat. To prepare for this, trainees practice interpersonal combat.”
also.
It was as I expected.
If the content of the quest is correct, I will have a sparring with Dayoung Kim there.
“under···!”
“Why is that?”
“No, nothing.”
I shook my head and cleared my expression.
My ability that Lee Soo-yeon knew was something that could be measured and analyzed just by looking at the spiritual power possessed by the subject.
According to what I picked up during personal training, that alone is a skill that is quite valuable.
However, there was nothing good about saying that I can see the future from here.
When it comes to human abilities, it’s perfectly fine to be moderately superior.
Superb abilities are rather poison.
I didn’t know that when I was a warrior, so I got burned quite a bit while installing it.
So I decided to quietly carry out the quest.
“Rather than that, let’s check that it’s a sealed instrument. Is this possible right now?”
“of course.”
Following Suyeon Lee, we moved to another building within the training center.
A building used as a dormitory and personal training ground for class A, and a lecture room.
I didn’t know it because I usually only went back and forth between the two.
After crossing a small hill, I saw the inside of the training center site, and there were many other buildings there.
Among them, Lee Soo-yeon entered a square-shaped one-story building.
As you can see, the building was used as a warehouse.
“These are them.”
From the inside, Lee Soo-yeon immediately took out the sealed god.
The first was a dagger.
An unusual appearance with a translucent green blade.
There was also a green jewel embedded in the handle.
Emerald or something?
And the second was the breastplate.
Not the medieval breastplate I know, but a black breastplate with an extremely modern design that looks like something special forces would wear.
The last one was an arrow.
The arrow, which looked noticeably worn compared to the others, had a rusty arrowhead barely attached to it.
“All equipment originally provided by the training center must be returned upon completion of the training center. However, if you release these seals, the training center will present a special shrine to Mr. Kang Jin-woo.”
Lee Soo-yeon said as if checking for the last time.
“Can you break the seal?”
“I’ll take a look.”
I activated my ability.
Is it because it is sealed?
The only color that leaked from the gods was blue.
And next to the gods, a description of the item was kindly added.
<Green-Eyed Dagger – Seal>
It is sealed and its abilities are unknown.
If you want to break the seal, break the sword.
<White Rang’s Armor – Seal>
It is sealed and its abilities are unknown.
If you want to break the seal, wipe the demon hiding the armor.
<Arrow of Haeju>
magic item
Expendables
cancel the cursed state
However, in the case of curses that are higher than advanced playing techniques, the effect of the curse is lowered by one level.
Somehow, I heard that the quest is F rank.
All sealed items were written in the item description, including how to unlock the seal.
Besides, one wasn’t even a sealed item.
“I think I can. I think I need to break this translucent blade-”
I explained them moderately to Lee Soo-yeon.
Silently listening to the explanation about the dagger and armor, she unexpectedly reacted to the third item.
“Are you saying that Haeju has an effect here?”
It was a bit of a surprise when I looked at it.
Unsealed items are blue.
After all, it meant a magic item, so I thought it wouldn’t be much, but maybe it wasn’t.
“Is it good?”
“of course. A curse is magic belonging to demons that cannot be used by humans. Also, it’s only used by fairly powerful ones above the Qing Dynasty. Because of this, there are still many things that have not been revealed. It would be almost impossible unless Haeju itself is a very small number of exorcists with special characteristics.”
Is it like that?
In terms of fantasy, it seems like a disease that can only be cured by a church priest.
“It must be expensive.”
So I said so.
I saw with my own eyes how much the priests of the church were receiving from the nobles for treatment.
So those arrows must have a considerable value.
At my words, Lee Soo-yeon smiled bitterly.
“That’s right. I can’t tell you the exact amount, though. Then we will check the other things.”
Lee Soo-yeon first approached Baek-rang’s armor.
He must have judged that the dagger to break the sword was dangerous.
“Didn’t you say you had to wipe dry?”
I nodded.
Lee Soo-yeon took out a dagger from her bosom.
Then, she imbued the dagger with spiritual power and put it on White Rang’s armor.
Clear spiritual power that swirls from the tip of the dagger.
Then, the hemp in that part could not stand it and was ripped off, revealing the surface of the pure white armor.
“It really was.”
For some time after that, Lee Soo-yeon carefully removed the hemp from her armor.
It soon escaped from the seal, revealing a white wolf pattern in the middle.
Then, it glowed with a red light that I had never seen before, and soon a new content was written in the item description window.
<Armor of the White Rang>
epic item
Defense 110
All stats +10
Freeze Resistance +20
Acquire the attribute [Baeklang]
– Movement speed +15%
– Nullification of first attack characteristics of wolf-type monsters

light armor series
It’s an epic item.
It seemed to be the upper level of rare.
Maybe that’s why it had a lot of strange effects attached to it.
It was limited to wolf-type monsters, so it didn’t seem very useful.
“How is it?”
“It looks like the seal has been lifted.”
Then, after trying on the armor herself, she moved it around to check the effect.
“It is true that the seal has been lifted. I can feel the divine energy releasing spiritual power.”
“Then… that next?”
I looked at the dagger.
Can I just break it now?
“I will do that separately. I thought I would have to do a demonstration in front of the training director for the report.”
“Ah, what. Please. But then, what you’re giving me is…”
“Sure, I’ll give it to you right away. As you may have noticed, this area is the storage for sacred weapons. You must have better eyes than me, so come in and choose for yourself.”
yes, it should come out like that
I went inside the warehouse with a happy heart.
Then what I saw,
“oh···!”
It was a feast of colorfully shining items.
