The auction ended successfully.

As it was a legendary item with tremendous effects, there were some competitors, but they quickly fell behind in the price competition, perhaps hesitating due to the strict usage conditions.

It was never easy to invest a large sum in an item with diminished product value.

Thanks to that, [Trillion’s Brilliant Oath] came into my hands for a price of 32 billion won.

‘This is quite a bargain.’

Epic-grade items and above start from 10 billion won as a baseline.

Prices vary greatly depending on performance and demand, and legendary items with high rarity can sometimes fetch hundreds of billions.

Just the epic-grade weapon I have, [Penitent’s Sword], was auctioned off for 29 billion won.

While 32 billion is also an unimaginable price, considering the prices of similar grade items, it was purchased very cheaply.

‘And...’

It wasn’t just the armor that I obtained as a desired item.

With the hint I got from Kang Juyeon, I grasped the keyword ‘divine-type equipment’, and I was able to acquire the desired item in a shield equipment auction called <Supreme Command Auction: Premium Shield>.

<Item Information>

◎Name: Pure Paladin’s Buckler

◎Type: Shield

◎Grade: Epic

◎Durability: Normal

◎Creator: –

◎Special Effects

1) Toughness +3, Recovery +3

2) When infused with magic power, it can block not only physical attacks but also magical attacks. This activates regardless of resistance to the attribute, and the level of defense varies depending on the level of the opponent’s attack.

*When defending against dark attribute attacks, it can block with 150% performance.

◎Possessed Skill: –

◎ [Random Treatment]

: Can use a random divine spell by consuming divine power. The associated god is Reckless, and healing-type divine spells are selected. Because spells are randomly selected, the amount of divine power consumed varies, and its performance also differs depending on the recovery stat.

◎Detailed Information: –

: A round shield said to have been used by Pure Paladins of the Divine Empire of Recklin. As it was used by proud divine knights, it boasts solid defense and pure divine power

When I first aimed to enhance my equipment, I targeted ‘armor’ and ‘shield’.

Among them, I acquired the armor as a top-performance legendary item, and the shield, though inferior, I obtained as a usable epic-grade item.

Especially the skills possessed by these two items.

[Lightning of Judgment] and [Random Treatment].

For me, who can use divine power but doesn’t know proper divine spellcasting, these skills were quite attractive spells.

They can exert tremendous power especially when facing undead monsters or dark attribute opponents like Hwang Seong-yeon.

This seemed like it would become one of my main item skills along with [Divine Slash], the possessed skill of [Penitent’s Sword].

‘I can fill what’s lacking with items.’

Right now, I need abilities related to divine power.

In fact, it could be a good method to replicate divine-type runes through [Rune Hunter] and develop related spells or skills... But that would take too long.

In a situation where Hwang Seong-yeon and the Ludenark Sect could strike at any moment, I couldn’t recklessly grow as an all-rounder like before.

In that respect, ‘items’ are a good substitute.

If it’s difficult to raise runes or stats, you can fill that deficiency with items.

“...You look extremely pleased.”

Perhaps my joy at finding a solution was visible on my face.

Kang Juyeon was standing still, looking at me with a slight smile.

I approached her and hugged her with all my strength.

“Oh, I’m completely happy. Thank you, Juyeon. It’s all thanks to you.”

Today’s success was largely due to her.

It was she who brought me to the auction house after hearing about the assignment, she who gave me hints about ‘divine-type equipment’, and she who suggested coming to Yongsan today, when there happened to be a top-grade unreleased item like [Trillion’s Brilliant Oath].

‘She probably knew.’

Kang Juyeon likely knew roughly about today’s unreleased items.

If the informants of <Judgment of Fire> exerted their power, obtaining this level of high-quality information would be no big deal.

That’s why she insisted on coming to the auction house today.

Because she thought today’s items were exactly what I needed.

“Really, really thank you. I love you, Juyeon.”

Park Jin-woo’s love life, which never existed in the original work.

Maybe that’s why...

Their relationship looks even more clumsy and innocent.

It’s one of the things I’ve been most interested in watching lately.

“...I haven’t even held her hand yet.”

But Park Jin-woo, speaking with his head bowed low.

At that defeated appearance.

I couldn’t contain my rising anger.

“No, you idiot. What the hell are you doing? You said you liked her. You said you thought you loved her.”

After the <Wolfenser> conquest ended.

Park Jin-woo had confided in me the honest feelings he had experienced there.

That he wanted to protect Camilla.

That he hoped she wouldn’t get hurt at all.

That in his awakening of a new power...

There seemed to be love for her.

It was an incredibly cheesy story, but I was somewhat impressed by his honesty about his own feelings.

And I sincerely cheered for him and Camilla to work out well.

‘...Not even holding hands is too much.’

But to think this is the result.

Unfortunately, there had been no progress at all in Park Jin-woo’s love life.

“Ah... I don’t know either. I’ve tried to confess a few times, but every time I stand in front of her, my mouth won’t open. I freeze up like I’ve been hit by some ice attribute magic and can’t say anything. It’s driving me crazy....”

Park Jin-woo, lamenting while scratching his head hard.

Seeing that sight made me feel bad too.

At first, I just thought he was an idiot, but seeing him actually struggling, I felt sorry for him.

And I wanted to help.

I wanted to help my friend, who still has many clumsy points, in some way.

Thud-

I put down the paper cup of the finished coffee on the table and declared.

“This won’t do. You need special coaching.”

“...Special coaching?”

“Yeah. The goal is to date Camilla. It’s not even about confessing. The goal is to definitely become a couple.”

“......!!”

Come to think of it, he’s a Holder who only knows how to use strength, not quite a man yet.

I need to make him into a proper person this semester.

I have to see him walking hand in hand with Camilla somehow.

I stood up, imprinting such a goal in my mind.

“But first, let’s finish today’s tasks.”

For that, I needed to deal with the tasks piled up right in front of me.

I brought a bunch of document piles from the back of the circle room and put them down on the table without hesitation.

Park Jin-woo, who was looking at that, suddenly asked me with a puzzled expression.

“Today’s tasks? Come to think of it, why did you come to the circle room in the morning?”

The mountain of documents piled on the table.

And me, who came to the circle room early in the morning.

It seems he just realized it was strange.

To that question...

I smiled slightly and answered while tapping the table.

“Student clan creation. I need to work on planning this impossible thing today.”

Master’s special proposal, which was brought forward much earlier than the original plan.

Today, I needed to think about this a bit.
