#Episode 20
Xenics Academy President’s Office.
President Kim turned up the volume on the TV.
[Last weekend, the scene was truly chaotic due to a gate that appeared near Yeokgok Station. Because it was a weekend night, there could have been many casualties. but! Fortunately, there was no major damage thanks to the actions of the two young men who suddenly appeared. This is an interview with a citizen who witnessed the situation at the time!]
President Kim turned off the TV and said with a bright smile.
“Hehe, Cha Min-jun is a hot topic every time I see him.”
“I also watched the hunting video and was very impressed. President.”
“Hehe, if you even think that way, well. “It goes without saying.”
President Kim’s dedicated secretary, Woo No-hyuk, was close to perfectionism.
Maybe that’s why.
The expectations and standards for Xenix students have always been high.
The fact that he looked at Minjun, who was only in class D, as impressive was also unusual.
“I’m just saying it was impressive. Nothing more, nothing less. President.”
“Huh, then, why don’t you evaluate it while proceeding with this secret request?”
“Me?”
“Yes, we will only carry out secret requests to students who received excellent grades at the end of the month evaluations, but they are only honor students. “You should know better that you can’t just entrust this request to them, right?”
“That is true.”
A secret request given only to students with excellent grades at the end of the month.
Unlike general requests.
Even though the difficulty level was high, it was not a quest that could be easily accessed until graduating from Xenix Academy.
Even seizing the opportunity was difficult.
As long as you perform well, you will receive various scholarships within the academy.
Since their skills are recognized, the possibility of graduating early also increases.
Early graduation itself means that one’s skills are recognized globally.
It was not unreasonable to expect love calls from prestigious guilds in each country.
Meanwhile, President Kim opened his personal desk drawer and took out something.
Noh-hyuk Woo immediately recognized the item that President Kim had taken out.
“uh?! President! that!”
“Yes, this is the last thing Taejun left me.”
What President Kim took out was none other than a brass-colored female pod.
It is a device worn on the lower joint of the thumb to pull the bowstring, and was one of the last keepsakes that Goo Tae-jun left behind.
“I never thought the day would come when I would take this out again.”
The fact that President Kim brought this up meant a lot.
“You said that!”
“Yes, I thought of a guy who this female pod would be suitable for.”
“!!”
Woo No-hyuk assisted President Kim for nearly 10 years.
He immediately sensed President Kim’s intentions.
That’s how much the female pod that President Kim took out was not an ordinary item.
An item that Gu Tae-jun, the 1st palace guard, usually used.
This female pod could be said to be the best among many artifacts.
The fact that President Kim himself brought it up over such a controversial issue.
‘no way… … .’
Woo No-hyuk also thought of Cha Min-jun for a moment.
I also thought that it might have been too hasty to judge President Kim’s actions.
I thought that President Kim must have a reason.
Next, President Kim naturally got up from his seat.
With his back turned, his gaze was directed to the scenery outside the window.
“Noh Hyuk.”
“Yes, President.”
“I don’t know why I feel anxious about this cloudless weather.”
“Relax, President.”
“I guess so. “I hope this year feels a bit new.”
“I guess so.”
“I guess so. Please bring Cha Min-jun with you as soon as all class D lectures are over. “I will be ready.”
“All right.”
Woo No-hyuk thought that President Kim looked lonely today.
***
After finishing all classes, Minjun stopped by the president’s office.
There was something to check first.
“Hmm, it seems obvious. “I like it very much!”
After completing the end-of-month evaluation, I requested an archery training center from President Kim.
Thanks to the amazing propulsion, a training ground was prepared where one could shoot an arrow to one’s heart’s content in no time.
Moreover, in that place.
Minjun wasn’t the only one.
Professor Park Ki-chan, who majored in archery, also could not hide his joy.
He was wandering around the training ground.
“With facilities like this, it’s much better equipped than Frow Academy! “I never thought a day like this would come to Xenix Academy!”

Is that all there is?
The long-awaited independence of the Department of Archery was also achieved.
From Professor Park Ki-chan’s perspective, it felt like his position had improved.
The lecture curriculum had to be reworked because a proper system was not yet in place, but this was also a happy event.
Perhaps it was because Kang Jun-pyo was secretly curious about the newly opened archery training center.
Even though he was on crutches, he still managed to come here.
“Hey, how are you? Doesn’t the training ground kill it? “To be honest, at this level, we should just go away from the athletes’ village?”
“Athletes’ Village?”
“ah! There’s that. “You don’t have to know.”
“hey! Cha Minjun! Are you ignoring me again? right?”
“uh! So don’t just talk about it, show it to me!”
“Oh, yes! Lift up your eyes and look! Look Carefully. As for the bow. “How should I shoot?”
Perhaps because Kang Jun-pyo broke down the wall against Cha Min-jun, he became especially talkative when he was in front of him.
Well, I knew Kang Jun-pyo’s true original tendencies through the original work.
On the other hand, Min-jun also felt proud for some reason when he saw Kang Jun-pyo showing a different side to him than usual.
“What the hell! Who are you making a fuss about? “Will you give me a true education again like you did then?”
“True education?! okay. Let’s decide the ranking through today’s match. “I guess I look easy because you’ve been watching me all this time.”
“Hey, hey. “Take off your crutches first.”
Meanwhile, Professor Park looked at the two and was puzzled.
“Since when did you two become so close? At the beginning of the semester, it was very chilly. Well, it’s better to be friends with everyone!”
Professor Park Ki-chan was grateful to Cha Min-jun, who was far away, because he was so special.
‘If it weren’t for that friend’s activities, would the archery department have been revived again?’
I thought I would never see the archery department at Xenics Academy again.
Cha Min-jun, who laid the foundation for me to where I am now, was just amazing.
‘As expected, my insight was not wrong!’
Professor Park was absolutely thrilled.
He even started whistling before he knew it, and even mowed the grass that had grown in the archery training range with his own hands.
Minjun was busy looking at the archery training ground, which was five times the size of a regular soccer field.
“You can make something like this if you put your mind to it!”
I haven’t been to Frow Academy, which is especially known for its archery department, but I thought it would be just as good.
Soon, a familiar man in a black suit stood in front of Minjun.
“It’s been a while, student Cha Min-jun.”
“Iknow, right. “How is the president?”
“Yes, the president wants to meet Cha Min-jun.”
“I just finished looking around this place, so let’s go.”
Naturally, it was Cha Min-jun who was solidifying his position at the academy.
***
Min-jun headed to the president’s office with Woo No-hyuk.
Lee Seo-ah came there first.
“Welcome, Cha Min-jun. “It’s nice to see you again.”
“Yes, me too.”
As soon as he saw Minjun, President Kim expressed his joy.
“At first I couldn’t believe my eyes. But it was really Cha Min-jun, haha.”
“I just did what I had to do.”
“That is more difficult. I’m still only a trainee. “I wonder how many practitioners can confidently stand up to someone with deadly venom.”
In a way.
Because Min-jun, who is only a class D class, showed through this incident that he is comparable to an active C-class hunter.
It seemed natural that President Kim would continue to shower him with praise.
“Oh! Look at my mind. “Let’s take a seat first.”
“yes.”
Minjun sat across from Seoah Lee.
“Okay then, let’s get to the point. It looks like you’re in a position to carry out the secret request I mentioned last time. “Recent atrocities by unidentified people near Ansan have been unusual.”
“You mean it might be Blackwiz?”
“We don’t know for sure, but the probability is high.”
“Whoosh!”
Seo-ah Lee clenched her fists.
“Now, calm down, student Lee Seo-ah.”
President Kim comforted Lee Seo-ah.
Minjun glanced at Seoah Lee.
She still seemed to be filled with hatred towards her older sister Lee Joo-ha.
As President Kim said last time, the speculation that Lee Joo-ha may have had contact with Blackwiz may still be lingering in his mind.
Seo-ah Lee showed a cold attitude when she made eye contact with Min-jun.
“What are you looking at? “I only caught one snake.”
‘To be picky.’
On the one hand, Min-jun understood Lee Seo-ah.
Admission at the top of the class, first place in the end-of-month evaluation, and future grades.
‘Anarch’ may have been an easy opponent for Lee Seo-ah, whose skills are currently at or above the level of a B-class hunter.
However, that was an idea that could only be done from Lee Seo-ah’s perspective.
‘Anarch’ would be no match for Min-jun, who originally had low expectations.
In fact, it was hard for her to believe it at first.
It was only after seeing a video of Minjun’s performance filmed on YesTube that she could finally believe it.
However, due to her tendency not to reveal her true feelings.
It was natural for Min-jun to always show a cold side.
“Now, take one by one.”
President Kim handed over a tablet PC.
“These are places that mark places where hunters have gone missing, as well as recent looting. “If you just check the marked area, you can see that there are a lot of suspicious activity happening in the mountains near Ansan.”
“Hmm, I guess I’ll have to use this to find a clue.”
“That’s right. Since this request is done in secret, you have to be especially careful. and… Noh Hyuk.”
Noh-hyuk Woo, who was next to him, immediately bowed at President Kim’s call.
“Yes, President. Please speak.”
“Still, they are honor students in their end-of-month evaluations, so please help them out.”
“All right.”
President Kim patted Woo No-hyuk’s shoulder.
“This friend will be of great help in many ways in carrying out this secret request. Well, she may look skinny and unremarkable on the outside! She’s a friend who does her part, so don’t worry too much. haha.”
“… … .”
President Kim casually spoke of Woo No-hyuk, who even an S-class hunter would kneel in front of him.
Today, Woo No-hyuk is commonly called ‘Red Sword’.
A nickname given to him because the tip of his sword is always stained with blood.
Unlike his usual kind eyes, it is safe to say that his dark appearance is full of life itself.
“Then, take special care of yourself. Please take care of this request.”
“yes.”
“Oh, and Cha Min-jun, please stay for a while.”
After sending Lee Seo-ah away first.
President Kim handed Minjun something he had stored in a drawer.
“You may need it while carrying out this secret request, so please use it well. “I think it’s something that would suit you quite well.”
“!!”
What was placed in Minjun’s palm was a small brass female pod.
“This!”
“Looking at it, it looks like he’s handling the bow without any of the common female pods. It will be much more comfortable to draw.”
Minjun immediately looked at the brass arm pod.
[Unique] Brass female cap of famous archer
Description: A female pod, one of the keepsakes left behind by Myeonggung after his death. Not only does it reduce delay in the draw process, but it also drastically reduces the risk of injury.
Effect: Increases agility by 30%, reduces risk of injury, increases stamina recovery by 20%.
‘It’s a famous palace… … .’
The person who is said to be the master archer of this original work.
Minjun Only one person came to mind.
‘Could it be a keepsake left behind by Taejun Koo?’
In <Dad’s Palace>, there was only one person called ‘Myeonggung’, Gu Tae-jun.
That’s right too.
At the time when he faced the 6th Demon King Iculus.
Koo Tae-jun was a hunter who not only inflicted the most critical damage to the Demon King, but was also willing to make his own sacrifice.
He was a person worthy of praise as the best bow master to this day.
Because of this.
The author even went so far as to cover Taejun Koo’s side story separately, so it’s safe to view him as a beloved character.
‘I never thought I would receive a keepsake from a famous palace.’
This was not a simple female pod.
Currently, I only briefly read the description and effects of the brass female pod.
The feeling was much greater.
“Thank you, President.”
“I’m just giving it to you because it seems like something that would suit you. “It is a keepsake of a person who had deep affection for me, so please treat it with respect.”
“yes.”
Minjun tightly grasped the brass arm pod that was handed to him.
