Chapter 76 – Summer Vacation at the Academy (13)

After conquering the upper level dungeon, which was more intense than expected, I came out through the exit.

“Ah, if you process that wolf skin well, it will be helpful to the two of you who compete in speed. Koki Kasori, I feel a little reluctant to give it to you, but it would be nice if someone useful takes it.”

Senior Lake Xilan received a piece of leather from Kasori Koki and gave it to me.

I didn’t know it when I was fighting, but the wolf skin was furrier than I thought.

“Then we will receive it by purchasing the materials.”

“Even if I can’t do that, it’ll be 3 million gold, right?”

Koki Kasori’s face stiffened when he heard those words.

This is a higher amount than the living expenses paid to students at Global Academy every month.

Moreover, it is a burden even though I did not buy the equipment.

“It’s okay. I’ll pay.”

Kasori Koki said, biting her lip slightly.

Honestly, you can live at Global Academy without spending money.

Senior Lake Xilan secretly gave me a hint.

“I don’t think free is bad.”

You should get rewarded for your hard work today.

“Then how about at least paying for the arrows and bullets? If you pay half, it won’t be a huge burden.”

Senior Pael Enrica came up with a compromise.

I thought that seemed reasonable, so I looked at Koki Kasori, and she nodded.

“Okay. How do I get back to the academy and go straight to the equipment factory?”

“That’s okay, the two of us will finish it, so we can become friends among first years.”

“Thank you, senior.”

So, after we crossed the warp gate, we parted ways with our seniors.

I thought he looked a bit loose, but I didn’t expect the difference in skill to be this big.

In the case of senior Fael Enrica, a wizard, I don’t know much about wizards, but he showed a huge difference even compared to Jothis Krish, and I couldn’t see any way for me to beat Senior Lake Xylan.

Because it had high defense and great strength.

Moreover, the way he was fighting while being hit by senior Pael Enrica’s red rays made him look like a monster worse than a boss monster.

“But how much does it cost to purchase your consumables? How much do you know about those who used them?”

“Less than 3 million. If we need to keep using consumables, we have academy student discounts and insurance.”

Biyeonhwa answered Naen’s question.

“What is insurance about?”

“Do it at less than half the price for a certain amount of time every month. You can just think of it as giving it to students.”

If I had known that, would I have used a gun? I don’t think so.

Since I can’t possess a weapon, it would be better to improve my general combat skills.

So far, I haven’t been able to learn skills by repeating actions, but even if I can’t acquire skills, I strongly feel that I need to learn how to properly use a sword or various weapons.

After entering the equipment manufacturing facility, I went to the store that Biyeonhwa and Bajay Banerjee frequented, and Kasori Koki and I split the money in half.

It was cheap for about 250,000 gold.

“So, is it disbanded? If we are meant to be, we can meet in the same club.”

After settling the bill at the equipment repair shop, we parted ways.

Me, Seoyeon, and Naen visited the workshop run by Mr. Torres together.

“You come here often. Student Yu Xian, do you need to maintain the equipment again?”

“I thought it would be good if you looked at it a little bit.”

I gave him the armor that had been used to defend against the Bearskin Orc attack, and I received it back shortly after.

“There is no major problem with the armor. But now that I look at it, the female student’s equipment seems to be more serious.”

“It’s okay because I have someone to deal with.”

Naen, who could be said to be a good prey, quickly expressed his intention to refuse.

“And can you process this?”

I held out the wolf skin.

I know Mr. Torres specializes in metal, but doesn’t he have a way with it?

“If I were to handle it, it would be difficult to use the leather itself, and I might be able to get the strength-enhancing effect conditionally.”

Is it like that? I think I’ll have to go to a workshop other than Mr. Torres and have it processed in a more necessary way.

“I’ll check a little more and come back. I haven’t decided what to make yet.”

“I’m not a specialist in leather, so someone else might be better. Is sword okay?”

After hearing that, he showed me the sword.

When fighting strong enemies, I used Shadow Craft, so the blade didn’t get damaged too much.

“All I have to do is wipe off the foreign matter. Unfortunately, I don’t have the equipment for maintenance today.”

“Yes. Next time I have a problem, I will come right away.”

It seems like something has become a strange word? It would be right to come here when you need new equipment.

So I came out of Mr. Torres’ studio and spoke to Naen.

“Don’t you need to repair your armor and shield too?”

“It takes time to take it off and put it on, so it’s easier to take it off in the dormitory and then take it with you.”

Unlike my light armor that can be worn over clothes, Naen’s is heavy armor, so I thought it would definitely be difficult.

Since you said you are comfortable there, you will do well.

After leaving the equipment maintenance shop, we headed to the women’s dormitory.

“Good job, both of you. Get some rest today.”

“Yes. Sian, should you rest too? I healed you with my skills, but there are definitely parts that can be recovered with time.”

Seoyeon was a little worried about me.

“Okay, see you later.”

Naen greeted me more plainly than Seoyeon and I returned to the men’s dormitory.

After folding the wolf skin and placing it in the corner of the room, I took off my armor and took a shower first.

After washing my body thoroughly and lying down on the bed, the sudden fatigue pulled me down.

I have to take a breather and wake up.

After taking a deep breath, I woke up, recovered my condition to the maximum, and checked the status window.

『Quest』

〈Achieve combat power of 400.〉

-Upon completion: 1 possession slot

I visited the advanced dungeon this time, but there was no dramatic increase in combat power.

Considering that I learned Shadow Craft in yesterday’s sparring, is it because this time I fought an opponent called an orc and all I had to do was endure the battle against a strong opponent?

Still, I didn’t know how to beat the Wolf Skin Orcs, because the Bear Skin Orcs had no walls.

I have seen strength that is difficult for me to imagine in my two seniors, but I think I treat that as my growth.

If I return to the dungeon and learn the swordsmanship I was thinking about earlier, can I contact the student support office?

Now that I think about it, I guess I didn’t stop my quest to find a highly suitable possessed body.

I think it’s been about a month since I first experienced Summer Possession. I should contact you.

I turned on my smartphone and went to the Student Support Office app.

I went to personalized support and wrote that the quest was successfully completed in a post about finding a possessed body.

If counselor Lee Da-young found out that I had cleared the tutorial quest, she could have reported to the student support office that I had already possessed someone, but I think she skipped it.

He also posted that he wanted to get his swordsmanship corrected.

Rather than trying to find a highly suitable possessed body, those who receive swordsmanship correction will be able to receive help more quickly.

I looked at the time and realized it was time to go for dinner, so I sent a message to Seoyeon.

[Did you get some rest? What are you doing now?]

[I came here to send armor repairs.]

[Okay? Shall we eat dinner? I did it, but is it okay now?]

[It seems a little early, but should we go for a walk around the lake?]

[OK. I’ll go down.]

Every time she thought she was being sent out for dinner, she got her clothes on and left the men’s dormitory.

She joined two people walking from the equipment factory and walked across the lake.

“I said lake without even thinking…”

If you think about it, she was also the place where Seoyeon told me to break up.

I obtained the power to see Ha-gye from the principal and was possessed by Ha-gye, but Seo-yeon still only has memories of that time.

“Where was it? We parted ways a little further from here, right?”

“Ahhhhh. I was wrong…”

It stuck to me, covering my sounds with sound as if it didn’t want Naen to hear it.

“By the way, Seo Yuna, have you seen Mai Hoshino? I don’t think I’ve seen her since vacation started.”

“Huh…? We’ve been in contact a little bit, but we’ve never met? Did they leave the academy right away?”

Naen and Seoyeon talked about Mai Hoshino, whom I had never met.

She says that she is the culprit who caused us to break up. If she seems to be on the phone, but I have never seen her, does that mean she is missing?

“I want to see your face at least once. Can I see you when the semester starts?”

Now I won’t just stay alone and train my body.

When I took Naen, who looked a little lonely because she was alone, and took a walk around the lake, Seoyeon said when she saw a woman.

“My?”

Is that woman with her characteristic voluminous pink hair
Mai Hoshino?

The eyes of her slightly fox-like face seemed to sparkle as she spotted us.

I think the woman who seems to have a voluptuous body more than Seoyeon is Mai Hoshino.

“Hello! I heard about the reunion.”

Mai Hoshino said as she approached us with a smile on her face.

“Ugh… That’s enough. Go away.”

“Didn’t my method work? I heard you go to a lot of dungeons.”

“Xian said no. I heard what you said and how much pain I suffered because of it…”

“In the end, it worked out well without any problems, right?”

I made eye contact with Mai Hoshino, who was looking at me and Seoyeon alternately.

And I felt a little uncomfortable.

“Have I ever seen you?”

“Hmm. I guess I’ll be there? Furthermore, I’m quite famous? Are you going out to eat? Have a nice dinner.”

After a very brief meeting with Mai Hoshino, we headed to the student cafeteria.

“Being able to say those words so easily is a talent.”

“To me and to others, it is true that Yu Xian broke up with you and started to become stronger.”

“I know that, but…”

“This is simply because the principal’s help was great.”

I can firmly say that I did not grow because of the breakup.
