Suwon Station.

This was where I was meant to meet Kim Seohyun.

I hid the Black Heavenly Demon Sword in my guitar case and made my way to Suwon Station.

-You're looking quite good this time.

I think so too.

Since I was short on clothes, I picked up a pair of black jeans and a tidy black shirt, suggested by a shop assistant in a clothes store.

The assistant mentioned the color scheme was a bit dull, but black attire seemed fitting when entering a dungeon.

'Because there might be blood splatters.'

As I got off at the station, I drew many people's eyes.

"Wow, what a face."

"Is he famous? No, he has the looks and body of an actor.

"He must be short, right? He's got everything, but must be short."

I moved towards the agreed meeting spot.

Close to the rendezvous, a crowd was forming.

All because of Kim Seohyun.

In school, I was often overlooked because of him, but outside, Kim Seohyun was very well-known. His history alone was incredibly distinguished and he was so handsome, he outshined most actors.

Because of this, even without any activity, the fan club had over 100,000 members.

"Ah, I'm sorry. It looks like my friends have arrived and I should go.

"It's okay! You look cool, Oppa!

After a brief fan gathering, Kim Seohyun and I moved towards the food alley.

"So, what do you want to eat?

"Um, let's have something light. Feeling too full can be troublesome in the dungeon."

I agreed with Kim Seohyun's idea.

After having a suitable meal at a nearby Western-style restaurant, we made our way towards the dungeon.

"The ros pasta there is really good.

"Really? I find it too rich.

"I suppose I like Western food."

Kim Seohyun smiled awkwardly.

We made our way to Gwanggyo Mountain together.

Gwanggyo Mountain had become a much larger and thicker forest compared to what I remembered.

This was also due to the Spirit Veins flowing under Korea which had absorbed a lot of mana.

"Be careful. This place is crawling with beast-type monsters, it's a pain if you get bitten.

"Okay. Should I cast an invisibility spell?

"I'm fine."

Instead, I used the Silent Step technique, which I had learned in order to control the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

Being invisible was truly wonderful, but it was useless in situations like this.

I couldn't receive any healing or buffs, unless they were from potions.

It's not that buffs didn't work at all.

But their effectiveness was really low.

The amount of mana used to cast a buff on me could be used to buff around ten average students.

And the buffs barely take effect.

In no time, the invisible energy brushes off the buff, so its effects only last a few seconds.

As a safety measure, I sprayed a potion over my body designed to repel beast-type monsters.

The potion gave off a peculiar smell.

"Are you okay?

"Yep, let's go.

We began to ascend the mountain.

"There seem to be too many people."

"Yeah."

Kim Seohyun and I were baffled as we ascended. Then, a man on the mountain path stopped us.

"Stop. No climbing today.

"We are students of the Korea Hero Academy, can you tell us what's going on?

"Oh, you are students of the Korea Hero Academy? Currently, a high-level Mine has escaped and we're looking for it.

"A high-level Mine?

"That's right. So unless it's essential, I wouldn't advise climbing the mountain.

The man didn't force us to stay.

The reason is because many of the students at the Korea Hero Academy either belong to prestigious families or are powerhouses who have outdone their families with their talent alone.

They also possess temporary hero qualifications.

"Carnivorous plants, huh?"

Kim Seohyun confidently smiled and drew his sword.

A tiny figure of a dragon made of flames appeared along the blade.

Nine Heavens Nine Dragons Divine Art.

The flames roared and flew towards the plants.

The Flame Dragon swallowed the plants.

And that was it.

The Saracenia were reduced to ashes, leaving only magic stones behind.

I looked at Kim Seohyun with a pleased smile.

Originally, this dungeon was extremely tricky. The plant-type monster is flexible and can attack from unexpected places.

They're really weak against fire attributes, but they're also surprisingly resilient against other attributes.

I watched Kim Seohyun, surrounded by the Flame Dragon, taking the lead in dealing with the plant monsters.

And whenever I tried to step in.

"Save your strength. My magic is stronger than you think, so it's not that difficult."

Saying such things makes her look admirable.

We kept advancing.

After dealing with the plant monsters and moving forward quickly for about 10 minutes.

I stopped Kim Seohyun.

"Just a moment."

An apparently empty wall.

Examining through Divine Vision, a faint distortion could be spotted.

"Why are you looking at the wall......"

"This is a shortcut."

In the game, it gives experience, but in reality, it does not.

There's no need to tussle with plant-type monsters unnecessarily.

Bang!

I put the Body Against Heaven in my feet and kicked the wall. The wall broke, revealing a path inside.

"Wow......"

"Let's go."

As we entered, we quickly arrived at the open field where the boss was situated.

A field about the size of a school sports ground. In the center of it was a giant meat-eating monster with teeth on its flower.

"I'll handle it."

I touched Kim Seohyun's shoulder and stopped her.

Soft.

I could feel a touch.

What should I say?

It's like having muscles with a soft skin.

The strange touch that can be felt from athletic women.

I tried desperately to maintain a calm expression.

"Just back me up."

"...Just back up?"

Kim Seohyun responded a beat late.

I nodded.

I took the Black Heavenly Demon Sword that was carefully kept in the guitar case.

Kiiiing!

The Black Heavenly Demon Sword vibrated.

A sharp foresight could be felt. It is the power to convert foresight using the spirit embedded in the Black Heavenly Demon Sword.

-Did we not agree to use it only on strong opponents?

'I thought I would understand how to use it if I used it in advance.'

Originally, the Black Heavenly Demon Sword said not to use this power.

That's because it's better to strengthen this foresight than to train my original strength right now.

She was worried I would neglect my training.

Originally, this power is not what I should learn now.

But the reason I could use this power was simple.

'We agreed to wipe the sword with an oil-soaked cloth when cleaning it.'

It was a really ridiculous reason.

enjoy! :)
