Academy faculty meeting room.

 

Thanks to the glass exterior wall, the outside was clearly visible and the view was good.

 

Sitting at the top is a white-haired middle-aged man, principal Park Jeong-cheol.

 

He asked the teachers who were sitting limp.

 

“How did you get some good guys this time?”

 

The identities of the inspectors who conducted the test the other day were the teachers.

 

They reported on one of the best students they had ever taken.

 

“I think ‘Oh Hae-na’ was the best. It was almost B-level.”

 

“In my view, ‘Nam Min-gyu’ should be the lead. I have never seen such a combative skill.”

 

“Among those I was in charge of, the student named ‘Shin Noda’ was the most outstanding.”

 

Then the principal’s eyebrows twitched.

 

“Hmm. As far as I know, I remember that you were assigned that ‘Emperor’s Castle’ too.”

 

“Of course, the candidates for the Imperial Castle are also excellent, but if I had to pick the best, I would say that they would be Shin Noda candidates.”

 

“Let me explain.”

 

The teacher shared the experience of the day.

 

Using only E-rank intelligence and telekinesis to make a troll into beads.

 

The thing that frightened me as a B-class Awakened.

 

to have a magical imprint.

 

As the explanation progressed, the listeners laughed and shook their heads.

 

or not, he thought.

 

The use of power seemed a bit unstable, but that’s the part that should be taught at the academy.

 

Shinnoda was the best gemstone.

 

The other teachers responded in disbelief.

 

“I’m not saying I don’t believe it, but with common sense, Intelligence E can crush trolls with telekinesis? Does that make sense? When I was a hero, one of my classmates had intelligence B and had telekinesis, and he barely lifted a car.”

 

“What kind of troublesome talk is it that you are afraid of the students? Don’t go anywhere and talk.”

 

The principal calmed their cries.

 

“Don’t get excited. There are cases where that is possible. I saw it once when I was a Hunter too… .”

 

Principal Park Jeong-cheol was a former Hunter.

 

Hunter is a term that refers to an Awakener who entered the dungeon and fought in the early days when the gate appeared on Earth, and it was a job that had virtually disappeared in the present when new gates no longer appear.

 

But their own strength and experience are not lost.

 

They are still respected in the Awakened Society.

 

“Abilities do not reflect a person’s abilities, but rather show the power overlaid on them. If the intelligence was very high before awakening, it would not be impossible.”

 

“Huh… .”

 

“Then, before you awakened, your intelligence reached a B rank… .”

 

In response to the teachers’ reaction, the principal pulled back slightly.

 

“haha. Guessing it, it is. He may have hidden his stats, and there are many variables. Anyway, it’s interesting to have such a rookie.”

 

The meeting moved on to another topic.

 

“Then the next step is to allocate the budget for the new semester. The Department of Magic wanted a 20% increase… .”

 

As always, a tedious budget battle ensued.

 

At that time, Ha-yeon Park was shopping at the mart.

 

It was to express his gratitude to Shinnoda for providing the house and tuition.

 

‘If you make dinner for a surprise, you’ll like it… ?’

 

Park Ha-yeon arrived at the officetel that she had heard about in advance.

 

It was a brand new officetel that looked expensive.

 

She went straight up to the 17th floor.

 

Park Ha-yeon, standing in front of the gate, turned on the smartphone messenger.

 

I forgot my password.

 

＜I’m a little late, so I’m going in first and resting. Room 1701, the password is 4474＞

 

“4474. yes.”

 

Park Ha-yeon opened the door and entered.

 

Shinnoda’s house was neat.

 

There was only a minimum of luggage, like someone who was going to go anywhere soon.

 

‘Is Noda Shinnoda the master of a wealthy family?’

 

When we first met, it seemed that we had no financial resources, such as going to an expensive restaurant and buying a house like this.

 

Park Ha-yeon put the things she bought in the refrigerator and started preparing dinner.

 

The menu is fried pork.

 

I didn’t know Shinnoda’s taste, so I deliberately decided on a dish with few likes and dislikes.

 

Park Ha-yeon fried the pork, imagining Shin Noda’s face surprised by her cooking.

 

A faint smile crept across her lips.

 

***

 

early evening.

 

The city center with a sunset view in the distance.

 

A man in a black robe was squatting on the roof of a building, looking down the street.

 

He is a villain who only recently started talking about, ‘The Dark Knight.’

 

It’s me… … .

 

I have an important job today, so I’ve been out since early evening.

 

Laura complained.

 

[Didn’t you promise to grow steadily instead of helping with the entrance exam? What are you doing here for 3 hours?]

 

he doesn’t know

 

What a great thing to happen here.

 

“Just trust me. This is growth.”

 

The cross bag next to me was packed with everything I needed for today.

 

Would you wait 5 more minutes like that?

 

A black crack suddenly appeared at the intersection I was looking at.

 

was the gate.

 

Unfortunately it was a blue light, so many cars were sucked into the black cracks.

 

It has been 10 years since no new gates have been created.

 

After the main character enters the academy, the gate begins to appear again.

 

And it was this gate that appeared in the middle of Seoul that cut off the start.

 

It was a passage leading to a C-class dungeon.

 

The original story is that the main character enters the gate.

 

To rescue those who were sucked into the gate.

 

If you leave it alone, Ha-yeon Park will clear it for you, but you can’t leave it like that.

 

Because the skills from this dungeon are usable.

 

It’s not bad for Park Ha-yeon to have, but it’s not a good match for her anyway, so it’s a skill I don’t use in the second half.

 

What I get is an advantage.

 

I jumped off the roof.

 

The cool air hits my body.

 

After glide for about 10 meters, he used telekinesis to relieve the force of falling.

 

The use of skills became smoother thanks to the increase in intelligence stats.

 

A gate that scatters dark energy.

 

I walked slowly towards the gate.

 

“Huh? gate… You can’t go into your house!”

 

“You have to wait until the hero comes!”

 

“Isn’t that person ‘The Dark Knight’ by any chance?”

 

Ignoring the protests of the citizens, they went in.

 

————-＜Dungeon Entry＞————-

 

[You have entered the Tomb of the Nameless.]

 

—————————————–

 

dark cave.

 

There is not a single ray of light, so you cannot see an inch ahead.

 

I took out the attachable light from my bag and fixed it to my body.

 

A C-Class Awakener roams the C-Class Dungeon alone.

 

In the case of dungeons of the same class, about 4 people were the appropriate number.

 

“Whoa. This is what the original Park Ha-yeon also did. you can do it.”

 

Park Ha-yeon must have had a bit of ‘Guardian of the Species’.

 

Anyway, it’s not impossible.

 

Avoid all enemy attacks and hit all of your attacks.

 

square square.

 

I began to hear unpleasant noises around me.

 

square square.

 

square square.

 

The sound of monsters coming out of this cave.

 

I knew what kind of monster it was.

 

disgusting guys.

 

Long shadows swayed along the outer walls of the cave.

 

‘I’m here.’

 

square square.

 

dozens of legs.

 

The noise it made while moving in unison was the identity of the sound that had been heard before.

 

They gradually showed up.

 

Moneyworm or Grima.

 

The monsters approaching me looked like moneyworms enlarged to the size of a large dog.

 

I expected it, but seeing it actually made my body stiff.

 

scared?

 

no.

 

It’s not like that.

 

It was so terrifying to see dozens of grimars coming down the outer wall of the cave.

 

I calmly pulled the gas mask and mace out of my bag.

 

Way?

 

It is effective to use fire against insects.

 

But this is inside a cave.

 

If I use fire, I die from lack of oxygen.

 

All that’s left is to cross the front.

 

I wore a gas mask.

 

My vision was narrow and it was uncomfortable.

 

Still, it’s far better than having the body fluids and debris of those disgusting bugs touch your face.

 

I made a transparent membrane on the front with my telekinetic power.

 

Hundreds of grima were tangled and entangled, filling the cave in front.

 

In a way, it looked like a liquid made of worms.

 

It opened a hole that only one Grima could pass through.

 

One Grima who is about to bang his head straight over.

 

I hit him in the head with a mace.

 

Even if it’s a monster, it’s a D-class miscellaneous mob.

 

The mace was heavily crushed and scattered body fluids in one heavy shot.

 

He had seizures with dozens of legs and tried his last tremors just before he died, but when he broke his head one after another, he was silent.

 

A red jewel appeared on the man’s head.

 

I picked it up and at the same time a message popped up.

 

————-＜Succession＞————-

 

[Strength 008 is permanently increased]

 

[Permanently increases Agility 022]

 

[Intellect 004 is permanently increased]

 

[Luck 000 is permanently increased]

 

———————————–

 

Its body turned to ashes with blue flames.

 

The ‘Succession’ skill restored fatigue.

 

Originally, the telekinetic skill could not be used for a long time, but thanks to the fatigue recovery effect attached to the ‘inheritance’ skill, it was possible to maintain a transparent wall with infinite power.

 

Another one comes in with its head in a small crevice.

 

I hit him in the head with a mace.

 

You only have to do this hundreds of times.

 

Then all that remains is the boss of this dungeon.
