Acquired the Scam Rune in the Academy

---

Sweat drops flowed down her hair.

Kang Juyeon sensed the desperate situation.

The operation to burn all the trees inside the boss room.

It was undoubtedly successful.

It was a strategy that everyone agreed upon, and it effectively cornered the boss monster.

If they could all gather and launch a final attack after unraveling all the gimmicks, they could defeat the boss monster.

The successful assault was right within their grasp.

‘…There was more than one gimmick.’

However, the gimmick that the Mountain Serpent received assistance with in the dungeon was not just a mere ‘transition’.

Countless trees within the boss room.

They could be freely utilized in any form.

That was the true nature of the dungeon gimmick this time.

So, when the boss monster was cornered, it stopped transitioning and utilized the trees differently.

Only a few trees remained.

They were all shaped into ‘wooden snakes’ and sent toward the party as a form of magical attack.

It was a deadly blow to the party members who were focused on the operation.

‘…Do Jae-hyun.’

Kang Juyeon suddenly looked at the man in front of her.

Do Jae-hyun.

He had rushed to the rear as soon as the wooden snakes appeared while facing the boss earlier.

There was no room for defense in the rear…

That’s probably why he came running.

In the party, they had been together for a while.

This man always made the right judgments.

Do Jae-hyun… had always been a rational person.

‘…I’m sorry.’

So, in this urgent and dangerous moment.

Kang Juyeon felt even more sorry for him.

Because she was the one who had brought him into this dangerous situation, jeopardizing the bright future that lay ahead.

He was here in this unreasonable situation…

Without running away, he came to protect them.

…Even though there were no means of defense left for sure.

“Miss! You have to get out of the way!”

Kim Seong-cheol, a magician who was participating in the ‘Forest Fire Operation’, urgently canceled his magic and spoke.

And it wasn’t just him.

Lee Soo-mi of the sacred lineage and the new clan member Shin Yuna were also by Kang Juyeon’s side.

The clan’s successor had to be protected.

Perhaps that’s why they came.

However, Kang Juyeon slowly shook her head.

“…I’ll block it.”

“Miss!!”

There was no turning back.

The man she had personally suggested and brought here was standing before her.

A man who had thanked her with a smile despite the forced dispatch.

A man who had run to protect them in this unreasonable situation when there was no strength left to defend…

He had awakened as a Holder more than a year ago.

During that not-so-long time, among all the people she had met…

The most brilliant Holder, who had never shown his ultimate skill before, was standing right in front of her.

‘I’ll end it all’

She just couldn’t help it.

She has used a lot of magic to operate the Forest Fire Operation, and it took a lot of time and effort to cast it since her concentration was broken.

She hasn’t even utilized her ultimate skill [Inferno] yet.

It was not a skill suitable for defending against such massive attacks.

Nevertheless, Kang Juyeon will end it all.

Because Do Jae-hyun is in the same worst situation as her.

After making such a decision, the clan members who had been trying to stop her quickly gave up and prepared to stop it somehow.

The moment when dozens of wooden snakes came close to her. …She heard a man’s voice.

“Flow”

A voice full of determination.

It rang clearly in Kang Juyeon’s ears.

‘Flow?’

After clearing the underground dungeon of the academy, until the event of evaluation at the end of the semester.

Do Jae-hyun has never shown an ultimate skill

Naturally, Kang Juyeon also thought he didn’t have an ultimate skill.

It was a natural assumption.

‘…He’s C-class.’

His Holder grade was C-class, and there had never been a case in Holder history where a C-class Holder had used an ultimate skill.

Ultimate skills were by no means common.

They weren’t skills that you could obtain just because you wanted them.

Even B-class Holders, who had reached the pinnacle, couldn’t easily acquire ultimate skills.

It required an absolute combination of stats, rune level, talent…

That’s what made ultimate skills possible.
