Chapter 3 (1/2)

The Second Year Cadet Jung Si Woo (3)

“Really, what? What are you talking about? This beggar is insane. Wielding a weapon that will never give him a chance to see tomorrow…”

“He’s right. It’s weird.”

“Hey, hey! ”

Regret.

He grabbed his bastard sword and held it high.

The others did not notice a difference. Not even a blacksmith would have noticed it, but I could definitely see it.

My analysis based on insights wasn’t limited to monsters or awakened people.

I could identify genuine and well-made items by merely looking at them.

“The appearance was similar, but the imprint texture was too poor for the sword to have been made in the blue forge. Besides, its metal quality was so poor …”

“How do you know that? I’ve been teasing the muzzle because I’ve seen it, but no one believes it. Give it to me, you bitch! ”

Evidence?

I laughed a little at that.

Of course, I knew how to prove it was genuine or fake.

“If you show me proof, you’d be sold.”

I stared back at the gleaming Kim Hyun-Cheol. He held the sword towards me.

“The texture here is poor. This imprint only covers the blue forge, but if you look at it closely, it will be a weapon less than a normal iron sword.”

“Do you know why? If this is carved straight, it makes the sword very hard, but if it’s a little wrong … ”

I placed a finger on the geometric pattern engraved on the handle. A small amount of mana was pushed in.

Even if I didn’t have talents, I’m a superhuman.

At least, I was able to deal with mana.

And as soon as I pushed the mana …

“… It works like this. ”

Awesome!

“… ”

The blade of the Bastard Sword shattered and collapsed.

“uh… This, this … ”

Kim Hyun-Cheol gagged, staring at his broken sword with his mouth open.

“Don’t just stand there! Get ready! Personal equipment time will begin in less than 10 minutes! ”

“Ah. I have no time. ”

At the sound of my instructor, I returned to my place.

I handed handle of the shabby Bastard Sword Kim Hyun-Cheol.

“I’ll give you a new face.”

* * *

“Hey, are you okay?”

Jinwoo asked me to stand still.

But what does it matter?

“I do not care. It’s really alright. ”

I was bruised for the moment.

Anyway, I had my friend, Jinwoo Lee.

“… No, not that. ”

“Huh?”

“You don’t have personal equipment.”

“…”

Right. I didn’t have personal equipment.

In the first grade, I had an old sword, but after I stopped going to training since there were no signs that I was improving, I threw it away.

As an orphan, I naturally didn’t have expensive accessories, and I couldn’t have armor or a helmet without a sword.

I came to training with my bare body.

‘I will make a great impression from the first day.’

It will be difficult, even for a first-grader, if he loses his personal equipment. No second grader would come naked in ‘training time’?

It was amazing.

“Some people get weapons they can use, and others have prepared the right weapons. Well, don’t worry too much about the quality of the weapon. It’s true that the stronger the weapon, the higher the level, but a hunter who relies only on his weapon will get seriously hurt. ”

As I looked around, I saw Kim Hyun-Cheol holding a long sword. Even he had a spare weapon.

“By the way… Cadet Jeong Si-woo. ”

“Why are you standing still without any equipment?”

A slightly raised voice spat toward me.

I would have hesitated if the hunters under me made this mistake.

“Well…”

I turned quickly with a look of great reason.

I don’t like excuses, but I can’t keep my mouth shut when I have to.

“Don’t make pathetic excuses like you’ve forgotten your personal equipment.”

“… Sorry about that. ”

Fortunately, words rushed to my mind.

“Because of my new awakening, I haven’t yet found a weapon that suits my traits, so I haven’t prepared my personal gear.”

“Are you awakening this new quality?”

“Yes. I had no problems until last night, but when I opened my eyes this morning, there was a small change in the status window. ”

“Jung Siwoo. Do you know what this cadet is talking about?”

Awakening of new traits.

As I spoke the words, Park Hyun-suk looked slightly confused.

“Yes. I think I have awakened. ”

“… Ha… Haha, this is a funny student. ”

And the next moment, he burst into laughter.

“There were 14 cases of reawakening, and finally, on the morning of the first training, your characteristics did not match the cadet’s personal equipment.

“Yeah. That’s right.”

“If it’s true, shouldn’t you have brought the iron sword you used before?”

That’s right.
