EP.6 Clear Out Holders

“Hey!! uhh… !!”

In the front yard of the house, Park Jin-woo screamed and swung his sword.

His younger brother, Park Yoon-seo, looked at him as if tired of it.

“Aren’t you tired?”

“Ha! word! Don’t bet!”

He focused on training without showing any signs of exhaustion.

Park Yoon-seo could not understand the family of that older brother.

Although he was a person who liked body training, he became a strange person after taking the entrance exam for Seoul Holder Academy.

Training after sleeping, training before going to bed.

Eat breakfast and train, eat dinner and train.

Training all day and training again.

The endless repetition of all the hard work that one can physically do.

People have always looked like that since I took the entrance exam.

-If you stay still, you will be pushed by Do Jae-hyun again! May only training live! I have a duty to overcome Do Jae-hyeon… !!

It’s your own promise, and you say things like that once in a while…

frankly it’s stupid

What is it that you are a boy cartoon character?

It’s a shame that such a fool’s younger brother is himself.

And at the same time, I was curious.

Who the hell is Jaehyun Do?

Could it have made Park Jin-woo so devoted to training?

Who was the culprit who made him ignite the fire with a catalyst once more in his heart, who was originally famous as a practice bug?

Well, I was curious about that.

Perhaps one of the motivations for entering the academy?

“Jinwoo, are you training again?”

My mother suddenly appeared next to me and asked softly.

In her arms was a fruit basket full of peaches.

Fresh peaches as if they had just been picked.

As it is one of the few in Seoul, it is rather a rare country house…

It was a good quality fruit that you could only see in an orchard.

Park Jin-woo’s house was uniquely an urban peasant family who farmed fields in Seoul.

“Mom, let me dry you. I’m going to fall over there.”

“Leave it. He’s always been like that once before. Especially on a day when you go on an expedition.”

“Daddy?”

“yes. Jinwoo resembles his father a lot in that respect. After going through a special situation, they seem to have a great desire to win.”

“I think I look like my mother.”

“That’s what Mom thinks. Do you or Jinwoo sometimes have a peculiar side?”

Park Yoon-seo nodded her head.

To be honest, I don’t understand it, but my dad often said that, so I wondered if it was hereditary.

Mom smiled a little at that and touched the peaches in the basket.

Then I suddenly remembered the old days.

Strength entered her hand holding the peach.

“Sometimes, even on a date, I ran out to train. Saying that you have an opponent you must win… . At that time, I really wanted to kill him, ho-ho.”

“… … .”

It is said that if a woman has a cold, frost will fall on New Year’s Eve.

It seems that anger has piled up at her after thinking about the past for a while.

Park Yoon-seo said nothing and quietly entered the house.

If I wait any longer, I feel like I’m going to catch fire on myself.

It’s her own family, but it’s also a strange family.

It felt like no one had a normal way of thinking.

* * *

“What the hell is this bastard!”

“Ahh! Brother, please help me… !!”

“Can’t three people catch one? Stop it somehow! Stop it!”

Including a man called the boss.

A total of four outholders fought with me.

‘Outholder’ is a kind of criminal group created by low self-esteem and deep sense of inferiority by holders at the bottom.

It is distributed in so many different places, and the level is quite low, so it does not require as much alertness as in <Villain>.

Most of these holders have low stats.

In terms of an academy, it’s at the level of a lower class.

For that reason, ordinary police, not holders, were sometimes used to clear them up.

On the other hand, <Villain> is a serious criminal organization in modern society in which Holder appeared.

They act as a pan-national unit and commit felony crimes, and they are also designated as wanted clans in Korea and are a group that undergoes extensive sweeping.

There were many high-ranking holders, and there were many psychos who were not inspired by crime.

‘It has nothing to do with me.’

<Villain> is, frankly, the story of a distant country.

Maybe someday we’ll come across it, but not now.

Right now, my opponents are outholders struggling right in front of my eyes.

A group of yangachi, the common people’s troubles.

At most, they were no different than thugs who dealt with weapons chosen by runes.

before entering the academy.

There’s only one reason why I’m hanging out with these stupid thugs.

It was to use the power of [Rune Hunter] without making fun of it.

[You have won the duel. With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can duplicate one of your opponent’s runes. Since the opponent has only one rune, duplicate that rune.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Gain 1 Strength with the rune’s tendency.]

‘Wow! Play hard, play hard!’

An outholder with a weak power, but possessing runes.

If you win the duel, [Rune Hunter] duplicates the opponent’s runes.

The combination of the two was a perfect match.

Weak, but legally beat the vicious holders.

You can also get runes as a bonus.

There, I feel refreshed. One stone three birds.

Thanks to you, one week after the entrance exam.

Every day, I went to outholders in the vicinity of Seoul and argued with them.

By continuing to win without losing in the fight against the outholder, he was able to acquire new runes and stats.

“older brother! This bastard gnome. A new holder who has been walking around lately… !!”

“Ah-oh. too many words hurry up hurry up Aren’t you even sulky?”

Two outholders are already knocked down.

All that was left was a guy called hyung and a bastard.

At first, I wasn’t able to deal with so many outholders.

No matter how weak the outholders, they too have runes and are one holder who can wield weapons.

One-on-one fights were never easy because you never know what variables will happen.

However, as I gradually defeated the Outholder, gained new runes and ability values, and continued training for a week through [Seeker’s Sweat], the rune’s growth went up on track.

Thanks to this, the level of [Dagger] is 3.

[Sword] and [Sprint] have risen to level 2.

… By the way, [Cooking] has just risen to level 3 again.

Kim Chae-eun’s cooking chores did one thing.

Anyway, with the rune level growing rapidly and the resulting increase in stats, I was raised to a level where I would not be pushed even if I confronted several outholders like this.

“Eat this, you bastard… !!”

And then.

The outholder leader, who was hiding behind his subordinates, was aiming for a room, and rushed at me.

An outholder who attacks with bare hands without any special weapon.

Is it a rune of instant fighting or fighting? I thought about it, but I soon came to the conclusion that it wasn’t.

The man’s hand running towards me.

It was because his hands were not clenched into fists, but spread out.

Like…

in a scratching position.

‘It’s a skill!’

As a reader of <Next Rune Holder>, I could quickly recognize that these attacks were in the form of ‘skills’.

So far, the only skill I have seen with my own eyes is Kang Joo-yeon’s [Magic Shield].

So, I don’t know exactly how the other skills are cast, but my head was saying that there’s a very high probability that that stance, which seemed out of touch with combat, was a skill.

“Suck… !!”

I was alerted and quickly took a position of dodge.

He wasn’t even prepared for a counterattack.

Now that I have grown through growth, my speed figure is 10.

Just focus on avoidance.

I was able to dodge the skill of the guy who exploded slowly without hitting.

“I avoided… ?!”

I turned around sharply.

My body rotates almost 360 degrees.

And a backspin blow that sticks in the guy’s face!

It was a move supported by the recently acquired rune [Fighting].

“Great!!”

“It’s my brother! f*ck! help me!!”

do you want me to live

I never killed him in the first place… .

The fight ended with that.

An outholder leader who possesses a special rune enough to use a skill.

He didn’t seem to have any special weapon-related runes.

As his skill deviated, he immediately allowed my blow and fell, and the one remaining outholder ran out of the alley and ran away.

What the hell… .

It was the vain end of an outholder who only cowardly torments ordinary people due to their weak power.

More important than that is the [Rune Hunter] reward.

I waved my hand once and checked the info window.

[You have won the duel. With the mysterious power of the Rune Hunter, you can duplicate one of your opponent’s runes. Since the opponent has only one rune, duplicate that rune.]

[You have obtained a new rune.]

[Gain 1 Poison Resistance with the runic tendencies.]

[Immunity is activated in the holder information.]

“tolerance?”

Immunity is activated here?

‘Resistance’ is a kind of resistance that can be activated through special situations or through the assistance of runes.

The main character, Jinwoo Park, was also active from the middle, so I wasn’t expecting it, but the reward rolled in from an unexpected place.

I hurriedly checked the <holder information> and the newly acquired <rune information>.

An information window that has changed to the level of Gaebyeok in a week.

The information window was so full that it was not enough to say that it was flashy.

[Seeker’s Sweat] and [Rune Hunter].

It could be seen as a fantastic collaboration between the two Epic Runes.

Surprisingly, there were not many runes obtained while hunting outholders.

All the weapons and runes they use were there.

It’s not for nothing that these guys are considered low-level.

On the other hand, the [Venom Poison] that I just obtained activates the special ability tolerance, which is a fairly decent ‘Rare Rune’ with skills from the start.

It was a windfall that was not lacking even if I said I saw it.

“Thank you, Outholders… !!”

outholder.

They are called the troublemakers of society because of their ambiguous tendencies and levels.

But for me now.

It was a tree that spread runes more generously than anyone else.
