BXBX NOVEL Chapter 759
Chapter 759
“Why? Don’t you believe me? 10 people is right. This is what I heard when I first met Lebron.”
Hyeonu’s words were true. The first time Hyeonu and Lebron met was due to the gold coin received from Khan, the warrior instructor at the class tower in Aslan. Thanks to it, he met Lebron, gained skills, became a disciple, and got a rare class. In the process, Lebron said that Hyeonu was the 10th player to come with the gold coin.
“This jerk, you don’t know this? You are becoming hard of hearing... you aren’t even a kid in water. I can’t sleep due to your worries.”
Hyeonu made fun of Yeongchan. Words poured in an instant like he was rapping.
“How can I know this? I’m not the only one who doesn’t know. Even the viewers who have watched your livestreams from beginning to end don’t know this, you jerk.”
Yeongchan had a crumpled expression as he angrily refuted Hyeonu. Yeongchan felt it was very unfair. He didn’t know why he should be teased by Hyeonu. To be honest, he even doubted if the number mentioned by Hyeonu was correct.
“The viewers might not know but you can’t be like that.”
Hyeonu attacked Yeongchan with logic that had no basis.
“What nonsense are you saying?!”
As Yeongchan and Hyeonu were bickering, they arrived at the training ground where Lebron was located.
“Teacher, I’m here. Your one and only disciple has arrived!”
Hyeonu entered the training ground and screamed so loudly that it resounded through one side of the mansion. He blatantly showed off his presence.
“Be quiet and come in.”
Lebron opened his eyes from where he was sitting in the middle of the training ground and looked at Hyeonu.
“The one here who seems to be lacking is my friend. I brought him because he wanted to see you once.”
Hyeonu took Yeongchan with him and stood in front of Lebron. Yeongchan suddenly became a friend who was lacking but he couldn’t refute it because he was in front of Lebron. He just bowed and greeted Lebron. “Hello, Duke Lebron. I am Argon.”
Lebron received Yeongchan’s greeting, rose from his seat, and approached Yeongchan.
“It must be a lot of trouble going around with this little guy.”
“Huh? No. Hyeonu is a good friend, even if he is lacking.”
Yeongchan and Lebron reached out to each other and shook hands.
“What am I lacking? Where can you find someone like me?” Hyeonu muttered to Lebron with a frown.
"Yes, where else can there be someone like you? It is terrible just imagining it.”
Yeongchan poured oil on Hyeonu’s heart, which was already on fire. Hyeonu silently extended both hands at Yeongchan’s provocation. Yeongchan backed away at Hyeonu’s sudden behavior, but it was just Yeongchan’s illusion. Yeongchan’s two legs didn’t move from the ground like glue had been applied to the soles of his feet. Hyeonu grabbed the face of Yeongchan, who was standing still.
Then he shook it from side to side. He pushed Yeongchan’s cheek like he was bouncing a ball at a slight distance. As Hyeonu’s palm pushed, Yeongchan’s body shook from side to side.
“Why are you here today?”
Yeongchan’s suffering continued until Lebron opened his mouth. To be exact, it was until Hyeonu heard Lebron’s words that he stopped.
“More foundation is required.”
Hyeonu turned his head and made eye contact with Lebron.
“Foundation? What foundation?”
Hyeonu turned his head and made eye contact with Lebron.
“Please teach me more, Teacher.”
This was extortion, not a request. Lebron felt it and his eyes widened.
“You are talking like you left it to me.”
Hyeonu ignored Lebron’s change in expression and continued his words without blinking.
"What bothers you about giving it to your one and only disciple?”
Lebron stared hard at Hyeonu. It was from head to toe. He looked again and again.
“It is troublesome. You are talking nonsense. I was just judging if you had lied to me.”
Lebron admitted it. Hyeonu deserved to learn other things. The feeling he was giving off proved it.
“Even so, the procedures must always be followed. Just wait a moment.”
Lebron left these words behind and disappeared from the training ground.
Some time later, Lebron returned with an old sword in his hand.
“What is that, Teacher?” Hyeonu asked while pointing at the old sword in Lebron’s hand.
“It is a tool to check your eligibility. I can only teach you other skills once you are able to pull out the sword. It was something you didn’t have to do in the first place, but... that person taught you something in advance. It can’t be helped.”
“Does that make sense? Why don’t you just take it easy?” Hyeonu asked back as if he was arguing. However, Lebron shook his head and expressed his rejection.
‘Why me?’
Of course, what he was doing now was a formality. It didn’t matter what skill he taught as long as Hyeonu had the ability to learn. However, Lebron had no desire to do so. It was fun to see Hyeonu go through a bit of failure.
“Don’t say anything and pull it out. If you don’t like it, then you don’t have to do it.”
Lebron pulled back the old sword he had held out.
“Who said I won’t do it?”
Hyeonu quickly reached out and held the old sword. Then a quest window appeared in front of Hyeonu’s eyes.
[A quest has been created.]
[Draw the Old Sword]
[Draw the sword called the ‘Sword of Examination’ that can’t be drawn if you lack the ability.
Rating: S
Conditions: Draw the Sword of Examination 0/1
Rewards: Experience, can change to ‘Commander of the Knights of Keon (True).]
‘What is this?’
Hyeonu’s expression slightly distorted when he saw the quest window. The class name was worse than he thought.
‘What is the difference between Preliminary Commander of the Knights of Keon and Commander of the Knights of Keon (True)?’
He didn’t think anything would change much. Still, he was looking forward to it. This was the fifth class advancement, not anything else. These expectations were completely crushed.
‘It’s fine. What did I expect?’
Hyeonu felt resigned and checked the information of the old sword. It was because he had to change his class.
‘Item information.’
[Sword of Examination]
[A sword to test the abilities of the descendants of the Knights of Keon. You can’t draw the sword if you lack the ability.
Rating: Epic
Restrictions: Weapon Mastery skill with a proficiency of S or higher, Magic power-related skill proficiency of ‘S-’ or higher, magic power of 3,000 or higher. Less than 10 losses in the last 200 PvP battles.
Durability: 777/777
Attack Power: 1
Effect: The title ‘One Who is Qualified’ is created.]
‘What is this ridiculous wearer restriction?’
The wearer restrictions of the old sword were extremely tricky. Weapon Mastery was a skill received at the same time as the first class advancement, but it was a very demanding condition to have S- ranked proficiency in a magic power-related skill.
The first magic power-related skill gained by players was Magic Power Control. Basically, it was a skill given when advancing to the second class and it could be obtained before that if there was money. Even so, very few people had proficiency in Magic Power Control that was above S-. It was very few. The fact that only the few who had it were above the master level of the arena proved it.
‘You literally need great control to increase the proficiency quickly.’
In order for the proficiency of Magic Power Control to reach the S- level, magic power needed to be used continuously in both hunting and PvP. The only people who had such free control and could level up at the same time were the arena rankers.
‘How many S- ranked skills do I have?’
Hyeonu quickly skimmed through his skills window. Based on what he remembered, there were only a few whose skill proficiency exceeded the S- level.
‘I’m glad. It will work.’
Fortunately, he was able to draw the Sword of Examination.
[Magic Power Control (S)]
[Magic Power Compression (S-)]
[Magic Power Cohesion (S-)]
Magic Power Compression was learned from Raccoon, Magic Power Control was acquired at an early level, and Magic Power Cohesion was obtained during the second class advancement. The proficiency of all three skills were at S- rank or higher.
‘I don’t have to look at Weapon Mastery to know it is the S rank.’
He hadn’t been mindful of Weapon Mastery since the beginning. Out of all the skills, the one that rose the best was Weapon Mastery. It went without saying that the proficiency would improve just by swinging a fist.
It happened at this moment…
“Why aren’t you drawing it? You... can’t you draw it? You can’t draw it, right? Then you can’t do the fifth class advancement... Ah, are you joking right now?” Yeongchan spoke to Hyeonu, who was standing still and staring at the old sword.
The slight shaking of his eyes and twitching of the corners of his mouth were the precursor to ridicule.
“I was just looking at it because I was a bit amazed. This is easy to draw. Who do you think I am? I am Gang Hyeonu, Gang Hyeonu.”
Hyeonu completely smashed Yeongchan’s expectations. He pulled the old sword from its sheath at once.
“Uh? What? You pulled it?”
Yeongchan’s eyes widened. It was due to Hyeonu’s unexpected behavior.
“How did you draw it?”
“Try it yourself.”
Hyeonu put the old sword back into the sheath and presented it to Yeongchan. At the same time, he turned his head toward Lebron. He was asking with his eyes, ‘Can I hand this to Yeongchan?’
Lebron nodded. The old sword was a treasure, but it wasn’t to the point where a brief touch wasn’t acceptable. Moreover, Yeongchan didn’t have the ability to do anything with this sword.
Hyeonu handed Yeongchan the old sword and checked the message window that popped up in front of him.
[Draw the Sword of Examination 1/1]
[Draw the Sword of Examination has been cleared.]
[Experience has been acquired.]
[You can change your class to ‘Commander of the Knights of Keon (True).]
One of the message windows was to announce the completion of the quest. It was natural since the Sword of Examination was drawn.
[The title ‘One Who is Qualified’ has been created.]
[One Who is Qualified]
[A title given to the player who succeeds in drawing the Sword of Examination, one of the conditions for becoming the commander of the Knights of Keon.
Effect: Attack power is increased by 15%.]
‘The effect is beautiful.’
A deep smile appeared on Hyeonu’s face. It was an unexpected harvest. He was simply thinking about the fifth class advancement, but a title was created. It was a title with a very good effect.
‘He hasn’t even touched it yet?’
Hyeonu checked all the message windows and looked at Yeongchan. Yeongchan was staring at the Sword of Examination.
“Why are you just staring like that? Can’t you draw it? It’s not that you can’t draw it, right? Right? Are you just looking at the sword because it looks good?
Yeongchan was receiving the price for his previous provocations. No, it was the state of receiving back his words. Hyeonu was able to draw the Sword of Examination, so Yeongchan’s provocation had no effect, but Yeongchan could not draw it.
“Give it to me, you jerk.”
Hyeonu lightly patted Yeongchan’s cheek and took the Sword of Examination from Yeongchan’s hand. Then he handed the sword back to Lebron.
“Then hurry up and teach me, Teacher.”
