An Yu-min recognized me and called my name.

Reddish-brown long hair.

Today, unlike usual, I was wearing civilian clothes because it was the weekend.

I almost never wear skirts.

The tight jeans worn with the ribbed knit went well.

‘It’s the same.’

Unlike Ha Ye-eun, Ahn Yu-min is thorough in self-management.

I smiled when I saw her look a little embarrassed.

“I didn’t expect to see you here. Did you come to choose a weapon too?”

Lane Weapons is a membership shop that is difficult to access at the cadet level.

However, it was not strange for An Yu-min to come and go here.

For today’s Aegis, that level of fame is enough.

“I… I… that…”

The moment An Yu-min was about to respond to what I said.

She made eye contact with Hana Choi, who was standing with me.

“……”

She, who had been silent, passed by the two without saying a word.

“Well, then… I would like you to deliver the items I ordered.”

After speaking briefly to the clerk, I quickly left the store.

It seemed like the moment he was with me felt very awkward.

‘I guess so.’

Because she has so many feelings for me that she led my exile.

As much as An Yu-min thinks of me as a pervert who touches random women.

I probably didn’t want to talk to him even for a moment.

What if the title had no absolute calming effect?

I would have held on to her like this and tried to resolve the misunderstanding.

Right now, it doesn’t matter what An Yu-min thinks of me.

“Then, shall we go to the weapon corner?”

He spoke to Hana Choi, who was watching them with their hands together.

Since she wasn’t that close to An Yu-min, she stayed still as if it was awkward.

As soon as our eyes met, Hana Choi responded vigorously.

“Yes! Please take care of me!”

But he quickly avoided my gaze again.

Today, I called Choi Hana out first.

Hell Week next week.

I decided to help Hana Choi prepare for the training.

Each cadet participates in Hell Week with their own main weapon.

‘I decided to recommend a new weapon.’

Unlike An Yu-min, Choi Hana has not yet had her second awakening.

Choi Hana’s primary power is ‘the one who makes metal resonate’.

As the name suggests, it is the power to resonate with metallic substances and transform them into various forms.

Choi Hana activated her power using a metal chain as her main weapon.

By changing the end of the chain to flame properties, adding explosive power.

Since she had good basic body balance, it wasn’t a bad fighting style.

‘But Choi Hana is not a physical person.’

He was different from An Yu-min, who was a thoroughly physical warrior.

As she is an alchemist.

There was no need to focus on training in close combat.

There was a new class better suited for her.

‘It would be good to clearly set that direction from now on.’

During Hell Week, there is a Villain Attack quest.

The high class cadets are stranded due to the villain’s tricks.

It is advantageous to clear the quest if there is a cadet in the middle class who will actively help you.

“I… I know you are busy, but thank you for taking the time to guide me!”

“No, even the map. I’m just giving advice.”

Of course, Choi Hana, who decided to form an academy party with me, is my ideal partner.

I had to help her in advance for future work in the underworld.

Underworld content is different from the Academy.

Because the level of difficulty is quite high. In reality, it could be life-threatening.

“No! Instructor Sooyeon Lee also praised Junwoo Lee very much!”

I felt embarrassed at those words.

After the first lecture test.

Lectures from the Department of Liberal Studies continued during the week.

In the two-beam lecture, instructor Lee Su-yeon often mentioned my name.

– New powers don’t suddenly fall from the sky!

– Which attributes are you more familiar with on a daily basis? Or what adjunct is theoretically most accessible. You must always be thinking. Like Lee Jun-woo over there!

Instructor Lee Su-yeon was so embarrassed.

It seemed like I was under the illusion that I had always been doing accessory training.

‘It is true that I studied theory.’

In reality, I benefited from the power.

I was a little stung by the excessive praise.

‘I was really embarrassed because they even recommended me to the class president.’

Even Lim Jae-ho and Jeong Si-woo did not object.

However, in many ways, Lim Jae-ho is a suitable class president.

I gave up my position as class president without hesitation.

– The one who took first place was you, Junwoo Lee. But you’re going to give it up to me?

Jaeho Lim asked me with a voice full of doubt.

– I’m not really interested in that position. It would be better if you were class president.

In the original work, it was a good position to build a relationship with the student council.

The student council has already established a relationship with Vice President Scarlett.

There was no need for me to take on that annoying task.

“I was just lucky. Anyway, this should be enough for a new weapon. Should we start from zero?”

“Yes, four!”

I picked out a suitable assault rifle and headed to the range within the store with her.

*

*

*

“It seems like the zero point is sufficient. Still, the main weapon is being changed. Practice often.”

“Okay!”

“Then would you like to wait here for a moment? I’ll leave my weapon for a moment.”

“Yes, yes!”

Junwoo Lee left for a moment.

Hana Choi sat down at a cafe located on one side of Rain Weapons.

And it calmed my trembling heart.

‘Why am I doing this?’

Although I learned basic shooting skills in high school.

Since the main weapon was a chain, the gun was awkward.

So when she was doing zero point shooting a little while ago, Lee Jun-woo helped her.

Naturally, our bodies touched each other.

Lee Jun-woo didn’t feel awkward, though.

Choi Hana was conscious of him to the point where she desperately had to hide her feelings.

‘Is what Scarlett said true?’

Today, Junwoo Lee called out Hana Choi.

– Men don’t call women out without any business! I only ask women out on dates if I’m clearly interested in seducing them. Let’s go to a cafe together or watch a movie. Or something like let’s eat.

Of course it was Scarlett’s exaggeration.

Today, Junwoo Lee came here with her to recommend her new weapon.

We will be members of the same party from now on.

It was natural.

‘for a moment. Even though this is a weapons shop, it’s also a cafe.’

It was not a simple cafe.

As it is a membership-based luxury weapons store.

In fact, the indoor cafe was much more luxurious than the average franchise cafe.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have come wearing something other than the maid uniform.’

Because of Lee Jun-woo’s text saying he’ll see you tomorrow.

Strangely, sleep did not come easily.

So I overslept and didn’t have time to choose clothes.

I had no choice but to wear the familiar maid uniform.

‘Yes, it’s an illusion. Lee Jun-woo is a noble paladin. Moreover, he is a very talented person who beat the monster Lim Jae-ho to take first place.’

At that time, Lee Jun-woo returned from work.

“Then since we have time, shall we go have lunch? I know a good restaurant around here.”

At those words, Choi Hana froze for a moment.

So I missed the timing to answer.

“Is it still early? Then, should we at least watch a movie and go out to eat?”

Choi Hana became even stiffer at those words.

‘Well, just like Scarlett said…’

I didn’t even know that Lee Jun-woo was really interested in Ji-shin.

It may be that I am overly self-conscious.

I couldn’t help but think of Scarlett’s words over and over again.

‘He was so kind in helping me choose a weapon… and even zero-point shooting. ‘Do you really like me?’

She had never been in a relationship before.

I couldn’t quite figure out the current situation.

‘And a movie. According to Scarlett, if a man asks to watch a romantic movie together…’

I couldn’t help it that my thoughts kept flowing in that direction.

But what if Lee Jun-woo really likes her?

I never felt like I hated it.

“Then shall we go out?”

Choi Hana hurriedly nodded at Lee Jun-woo’s words.

***

It wasn’t a bad day.

Now I parted ways with Choi Hana and returned to the dormitory.

I didn’t know I would meet An Yu-min in Rain Weapons.

I’ll be seeing her next week anyway.

We have reaffirmed that the absolute calming effect of the title is certain.

There will be no problem at all in working as a villain as an ‘Avenger’ in the future.

‘And I benefited greatly from quickly establishing a relationship with Hana Choi.’

Lane Weapons.

The place not only sold the weapons it made, but also operated a workshop for artisans.

As it is a luxury shop, it directly employs skilled dwarven craftsmen.

According to the original work, opening the Rain Weapons’ attack and defense was quite difficult.

I checked the strengthened paladin sword again.

The middle class dormitory is one room per person.

So, there was nothing to worry about even if I acted as I wanted.

[Item]=========================​​​​

​

[Evaluate the target item.]

​

* Name: Holy Knight’s Sword with the Goddess’ Blessing

* Grade: Rare

* Attribute: Light

* Strengthening degree: +2 (New!)

​

▣ Details

..

​

▶ Reinforcement (New!)

: The weapon has been strengthened through the hands of dwarven craftsmen. Damage and durability have increased.

: When strengthening beyond +3, special strengthening materials are required.

: When enhanced by +3 or more, a special effect is given to the weapon.

================================​​​​

In the Rain Weapons Workshop, the Paladin Sword was strengthened twice.

‘The strengthening was successful at a very good time.’

I have accumulated a lot of goods through clearing quests so far.

The system currency used for reinforcement is gold.

[System Goods]===================​​​

​

[Gold was used.]

[50000G was consumed to create the runes of an ancient dwarven craftsman.]

[Sentences written in runes are transferable.]

​

================================​​​​

The system and system goods are a type of cheat that only applies to me who is possessed in this game.

There was a way to use the system goods in reality.

‘Because runes exist.’

Simply put, it could be compared to a QR code.

The system issues runes that can be worth 50,000 gold in reality.

Runes are a type of artifact discovered through dungeons.

It’s a magic letter that has special powers in the letters and sentences themselves.

I created runes related to blacksmithing through the system and sold the runes to craftsmen in the workshop.

‘In return, I strengthened the Holy Knight’s sword.’

Damage and durability have increased.

During Hell Week, we had to cut down countless monsters.

Of course, the better the weapon, the more advantageous it was.

‘The more monsters I cut, the higher my stats increase.’

The stat increase efficiency was different now than when I was an incompetent person.

Now, the user level has risen to 15 and another cheat effect has been obtained.

[Status]====================​

​

▶ ​Profile

​

* User: Junwoo Lee

* User level: 15(+2)

* Awakening level: 38(+1)

​

* Intelligence: 18 [Computation ability 7, Casting speed 8, Spell durability 3]

* Magic Power: 15 [Mana Efficiency 10, Faith 5]

* Mental Strength: 90

​

▶​▶ Battle Status

​

[Disabled]

: Can be activated at user level 20

​

================================​​​​​​

Expanded status.

Even with the same basic status, more detailed training is now possible.

Through instructor Lee Su-yeon’s lectures, I have decided on a direction to develop my skills for the time being.

‘A paladin with added fire attributes.’

In order to do so, the status bonus that would be obtained later had to be used efficiently.

In that respect, expanded status is a perfect cheat.

This is a feature that most users don’t use because it’s annoying.

By distributing stats in more detail, it is possible to acquire high-level skills.

‘Hell week. ‘If this is the case, I’ve prepared properly.’

And I also had a good rest.

I also went to restaurants that were a bit embarrassing to go alone.

I came to watch a romantic movie of my taste while it was out.

‘As a couple event, you can also receive an autographed photo card from the director.’

Of course, Choi Hana and I were not that kind of relationship at all.

This is a movie I really want to see because it’s a director I really like.

So I got help from Hana Choi.

Of course, I bought the movie ticket.

Probably a win-win for both sides.

So I checked my extended stats and concentrated on developing new skills.

***

“Big black…”

An Yu-min put down the barbell he was holding.

‘Strange. I feel like my balance in weight training keeps getting messed up.’

It’s been like this for several months now.

Even after banishing Lee Jun-woo, he never missed a weight routine.

As expected, there was a problem somewhere.

‘Compared to when I was with Lee Jun-woo… it’s so different now.’

In the end, I returned to the dormitory without completing my usual routine.

After taking a shower, I immediately lay down on the bed.

You have to go to bed early to maintain your body’s condition.

Of course, condition management is also a basic skill of a hero.

But An Yu-min had an intuition.

Probably, I won’t be able to fall asleep easily today due to the continued insomnia.

‘……’

I saw a large teddy bear lying with her on the bed.

This is the gift Lee Jun-woo gave her on her last birthday.

An Yu-min hugs the teddy bear.

This morning, I remembered again what I couldn’t ask Lee Jun-woo.
