Chapter 30 (1/2)
-The Taewang Guild revealed that it had acquired two legendary grade armor as the trophies for this attack.
-This is the first time that two legendary grade items have been found. Unfortunately, it was made known that no legendary skill has been found.
The media’s focus was on legendary armor.
This is exactly what Jin-woo wanted.
He kept a secret that he acquired a relic item.
The guild also agreed to keep it unknown.
Information control was perfect, as expected from the Taewang Guild.
I haven’t figured out what this is yet, Jin-woo admitted.
He tried to get the swordsman to explain it to him, but he was disappointed.
The swordsman could not understand it yet as well.
His Master told him he would find a way to figure it out.
[You are not qualified yet. If you were qualified, you would know.]
The swordsman kept saying.
What qualifications are you talking about?
In the past, Jin-woo thought that being ‘qualified’ is a matter of being powerful.
However, it seemed like it wasn’t.
He was not qualified, even now that he is much stronger.
However, he did not resent it.
He did not regret not taking the legendary items instead.
He was a little disappointed about the absence of a legendary skill card; however, he could buy those at any time, so it was not a big problem.
I don’t care if this was really a useless item.
He had received so much from the swordsman.
If Master chose this, there must be a reason.
It was something he had to believe and wait for.

It’s been a long time, but Jin-woo was finally back in Korea.
When he arrived, he brought chicken and shared it with Sun-woo.
“Then, did you get a legendary item?”
“Huh.”
He took out the Dragon Blade and showed it to his brother.
“Wow!”
Jin-woo didn’t want to tell him about the relic-ranked item.
He does not know what it is yet exactly.
He did not know if he gained something powerful or a failure.
Above all, knowing this secret may prove dangerous for Sun-woo.
So, he decided not to say it.
“The Taewang Guild is amazing. How could legendary weapons come out and no further information leak?”
“All the giant guilds are like that. They are great at information control.”
“Have you decided on what guild to join?”
After acquiring a hero skill, Sun-woo started receiving love calls from many guilds.
One of the reasons for those love calls was his older brother.
Sun-woo agonized over and over and finally chose the Taewang Guild.
“People are good to me because of my older brother,” Sun-woo smiled.
“What is your level now?”
“175.”
Sun-woo was also working as much as he could.
-The British government announced the results of the investigation regarding the recent occurrences of sudden haunts. No abnormalities were found.
He had just been to England.
When the news about it came out, Jin-woo listened.
“There are many sudden haunts these days,” he remarked.
“Yeah?”
“Yes, especially in the UK, but it seemed a bit common in Europe? Not long ago, some European people visited the guild headquarters and mentioned that.”
“Hmmm.”
Unanticipated monster appearances were called sudden haunts.
There were many causes for this occurrence, but human error is one major factor.
Like in the Giant Snake incident.
Sun-woo considered.
“Is it because of the merger that these investigations were started?”
It was as Sun-woo said.
The Noblesse Guild represented their country.
A legendary weapon will change hands because of the merger.
It was bound to be a big shock to British players.
Shock often made things seem different than usual.
“Well, it’s not even in Korea. Don’t think about it too much.”
“Well…”
It was indeed a story from a distant country.
Jin-woo, with chicken wings on his mouth, changed the channels.
* * *
Jin-woo visited the training room after a long time.
There were no people around. He stood in the silent space and pulled his sword out.
“I still can’t understand it, Master.”
[Let’s wait a few days.]
Is there a faster way? Maybe Mr. Octopus can tell us about it.
[You will know when you are qualified.]
But how will I be qualified?
Jin-woo activated his status window.
[Gang Jin-Woo]
[Level: 305]
[Strength: 110(117) Agility: 100 Stamina: 60 Mana: 60 Inner Air: 180]
[Owned Skills: Linguist, Dokgogu Sword, Red Moon Sword, Geumgang Fireball, Celestial Spirit, Infinity Mana]
His level has exceeded 300.
Minotaur and Maryong.
The monster army.
He quickly reached the level-300 mark.
It was difficult to find a level up rate faster than Jin-woo’s.
“But, this is still not enough.”
Level 300 is the gold standard for players.
But even after reaching that, he was still not qualified.
“Master said that strength could not be measured simply by level. There are things that I still lack.”
He still has room to improve.
As the swordsman told him, his martial arts at present was premature.
His killing blow might look good, but it was risky.
It was evident with his fight with Maryong.
“I would not have been able to beat him without the Dragon Slayer skill.”
He hesitated several times to use it because if he missed his chance, it’s over.
If he meets someone as powerful as Maryong…
It would be difficult in his current state.
[That is correct.]
“Ahh!”
Suddenly, the swordsman appeared.
“Damn. You surprised me!”
[Tsu! Your tolerance is too weak.]
“No, honestly, who won’t be surprised with that?”
[I won’t.]
“… Oh, yes. Did you find a way to understand this?”
[Yes. However, I could not tell you about it right away. It will take a few days. You’re so weak, so it’s too annoying.]
Level 300 is weak.
He really couldn’t understand his Master’s standards.
[From today on, I will teach you Celestial Swordsmanship.]
“Celestial Swordsmanship?”
“Yes. Now that the level of Celestial Spirits within you has increased to some extent, you will be able to use it freely.”
