#Episode 5
An exclamation came out of Professor Park’s mouth.
‘Unbelievable!’
Cha Min-jun’s last arrow passed right through the center of the target.
There was even a crack in two on the target board.
Not only was the focus not enough, but the power also seemed considerable.
It was such an impressive scene that it would have been worth it for Professor Park to give Cha Min-jun a Xenix ring right now.
“Student Cha Min-jun.”
“yes.”
“I will deliver the Xenics ring as promised. Please treat it with respect!”
“thank you.”
When I received the Xenix ring from Professor Park, the effect of the ring appeared before my eyes as if I had been waiting for it.
[Rare] Xenix Ring
Description ▶ A sapphire ring developed independently by Xenics Academy. The ring is imbued with magical power and is characterized by its blue color.
Effect ▶ Increases magic power by one level, increases agility by one level.
The effect was very surprising.
When it comes to a hunter’s growth, the most important thing to focus on is magical power.
Depending on the distribution of magical power, the combat power of hunters varies greatly.
This is a very important part of determining whether you can hunt high level demons and monsters.
Therefore, Cha Min-jun, who received the Xenics ring, had endless opportunities for growth.
‘Plus, it’s rare, an uncommon grade.’
There are tens of thousands of items that exist in <Dad’s Palace>.
The grades of these items were also divided.
Normal, Rare, Epic, Unique, Legend, Master.
Among them, the Xenics ring, which was a rare item, was an item that could not be easily obtained.
Minjun immediately put on the blue ring.
The size was automatically adjusted to fit Minjun’s ring finger.
The moment the ring fit Minjun’s finger, Minjun’s stats began to increase at the same time.
[The Xenics ring is equipped.]
[Magic talent level has increased.]
[Horsepower E+ ▶ Horsepower D]
[Agility talent level has increased.]
[Agility D+ ▶ Agility C]
The students of Class D, looking at Minjun like that, could only struggle with envy.
“What am I looking at?”
“Do you think this makes sense? Not anyone else, but Cha Min-jun! “My name is Cha Min-jun!”
“Oh my god, I never thought Cha Min-jun would wear a Xenics ring… .”
“Anyway, since when did you become so good at shooting arrows?”
“Junpyo, you got really trampled today, didn’t you?”
“Who would have guessed? “I can’t believe I’ll lose to a guy like that in archery.”
It was natural that Kang Jun-pyo was also seething.
‘This doesn’t make sense. Just wait and see. ‘I will definitely get that ring back!’
He glared fiercely at Cha Min-jun with an expression that seemed to have made up his mind.
***
Xenix Dormitory.
After the archery class, there were no more classes today.
Minjun was able to find the dormitory room he lived in by referring to the student ID card in his jacket pocket.
“Cha Min-jun… Cha Min-jun… .”
He repeated as much as he could about Cha Min-jun.
We know from the original work that you must complete all story progression to escape this place.
If so, consider that you are possessed by an extra named Cha Min-jun, whose future life will not be easy.
I had to think about how to solve this special story.
Although the original work did not go into detail about Cha Min-jun, his ultimate goal of entering Xenics Academy was clear.
The past when a great monster invasion occurred.
His parents became the prey of monsters and were massacred, and because of this, Cha Min-jun, burning with revenge, decided to become stronger himself.
However, the problem was that although he clearly had the qualifications as a hunter, there was nothing special about him.
However, it was clear that the situation was now progressing differently from the original.
“But I’m glad you don’t have to worry about tuition.”
There were some fortunate aspects in the situation of being possessed by Cha Min-jun.
The education fee required to complete Xenix Academy is over 100 million won per year.
Due to Cha Min-jun’s family situation, where he grew up without anything, there was nothing to worry about about tuition.
When I looked through the desk drawer in my dorm room, I found 400 million won, exactly 4 years’ worth of student loans, in a bank account in Cha Min-jun’s name.
If you attend Xenix Academy for 4 years and obtain a certificate, you will be a hunter due to the nature of your job.
You can take a position as a hunter belonging to a guild or association, and an annual salary of hundreds of millions of won is bound to follow.
The job of a hunter is special and involves risking one’s life against monsters and villains.
It was natural for them to be treated differently than ordinary people.
Minjun put his bankbook in his desk drawer.
Soon, Minjun stood in front of the mirror.

“bow… . I can now hold a bow again. “What would it be like to become the strongest hunter with just archery skills?”
Gradually, the situation of becoming a character named Min-jun was accepted.
It was great because it felt like my obsession with the bow, which I had no choice but to give up in my current life, was relieved here.
In addition, I even felt confident in telling Cha Min-jun’s own growth story more dramatically and in a more exciting way than the original story.
Since the main character of the original has disappeared, it seemed like archery could be more overwhelming than the original story.
‘Will we be able to defeat the Demon King faster than the original…? ?’
Without fear, Minjun quickly picked up the scissors lying on the desk.
“Anyway, I need to cut off these annoying bangs. Only when you can see something well can you shoot an arrow or not. Usually, in movies like this, they turn on the music and cut the hair… … .”
To Minjun, this situation felt like a scene from a movie.
“Oh, you can’t tell me why~ Oh no~, please don’t tell me why~ I couldn’t forget… … .”
He held a pair of scissors in one hand and cut off his bangs.
The eyebrows are barely visible.
I was finally able to see clearly my own features, which I had not been able to look at in detail before because I was too busy.
“Your eyebrows are thick and your eyes are this handsome, so why did you cover them up all this time?”
He was satisfied.
Although the long bangs were only touched up a little, Cha Min-jun’s appearance was almost that of a handsome college student.
“When will I ever get to look like this? “Let’s enjoy it to the fullest even during this time.”
Minjun was satisfied with his appearance and thought that the only thing left to do was to improve his position with a bow.
When you are satisfied with your reflection in the mirror.
Just then, someone came in.
“Oh, my God! Cha Min-jun, is that real?! really?”
A man suddenly opened the dormitory door and came in.
He seemed to have been friendly with Cha Min-jun for a long time.
He has short sports hair and is slightly shorter than Cha Min-jun.
A young man carrying a large staff on his back. The Xenics Academy uniform he was wearing had a name tag attached to it.
‘Kim Cheon-woo?’
Kim Cheon-woo, who is making use of his healer major in the Department of Magic.
Currently, he is only a D-class hunter like Min-jun, but he is portrayed as a character who grows rapidly while hanging out with the main character of the original work.
Of course, the main character now is Cha Min-jun… … .
Kim Cheon-woo was a popular hunter in Xenix because he was usually very energetic and had a cheerful personality.
Because he was Kim Cheon-woo, he seemed to have quickly picked up the rumor that Min-jun had obtained a Xenics ring.
He looked at Min-jun’s hand from side to side and made exclamations of exclamation.
“WOW! Is it true? Wow, I never thought there would be a hunter in the same class as us who got a Xenics ring. Unbelievable!”
Kim Cheon-woo’s reaction was natural.
It was surprising to see Cha Min-jun from Class D wearing the Xenics ring, which few upper-class students in Classes A and B wore.
Kim Cheon-woo, who still couldn’t believe this scene, launched a barrage of questions.
“Hey, just tell me openly! Hurry up! Since when did you become so good at shooting a bow? Why have you been hiding this whole time?! They say it’s definitely not a skill you’ve used once or twice, right? “If Professor Park admits it, then everything has been said!”
Minjun answered calmly.
“I was lucky. what.”
“You bastard! “Look at the deception.”
“I’m serious.”
“… What a shameful child. uh? But when did you cut your hair again? How many times have I told you to cut it a long time ago? It’s much better after cutting it! Real~”
“okay? I’m glad.”
“Stay like that from now on. A guy with a smooth face. He looks handsome, how good is that?!”
Kim Cheon-woo glanced at Min-jun for a moment and then checked the clock on the wall.
“It’s already been this long?! “Let’s go quickly, hopefully we’ll be late.”
“Where?”
“Where is it, the library? “Do you want to accumulate penalty points?”
And it turns out that here at Xenix Dormitory, there are rules.
Hunters of D rank and below are required to have self-study time in the library located in the dormitory every evening.
I think the purpose is to accumulate more academic knowledge as you have less skills than others.
For Cha Min-jun, it was actually a good opportunity.
“Let’s go, come on. Even if I run now, it won’t be enough. Hurry up!”
Following Kim Cheon-woo, Min-jun started running toward the library.
‘Anyway, why do you keep mixing up the English you don’t know?’
Did he run like that for about 5 minutes?
Fortunately, I was able to avoid the lateness penalty.
Lower jaw- Lower jaw-
Eventually, I entered the library and looked around the interior.
At the same time, I couldn’t help but gape.
“It’s almost like they’re telling us to go away from the Olympic Stadium.”
The interior of the library was truly vast.
It was about 5 to 6 times the size of the Olympic Stadium, and the facilities seemed to be equipped with the latest technology.
Like Minjun, the hunters who came here were doing their own thing.
Monsters are hunted based on a virtually implemented database.
There were also hunters who learned academics and magic by referring to tens of thousands of books.
In addition, there was a spacious sparring hall on the basement floor where hunters could spar with each other.
“Then, I’ll study over there on my own first. See you in three hours. Bye~”
“okay.”
Kim Cheon-woo went to his usual seat and studied calmly.
Minjun planned to refer to various books to understand this world view more deeply.
Through <Dad’s Palace>, the worldview has been built to some extent, even if it is not detailed.
However, I needed to learn more about various information through books at the library.
Minjun approached a woman who appeared to be a librarian and asked for help.
“Is there a book I can refer to, such as Introduction to Hunter Science?”
“Please come this way.”
Then the librarian naturally led the way.
Minjun began to learn one by one, starting with the books recommended by the librarian.
“Hmm, the book is definitely well-written. Of course, it’s not much different from the original.”
From how to conquer different dungeons, how to subdue monsters by race, and the history of hunters recorded to this day.
Although he couldn’t understand everything in just one day, Minjun didn’t have much trouble understanding it since he had read the original version of <Dad’s Palace> in depth.
Moreover, the more you read the book, the more you read.
Little by little, I began to remember the settings from the latter part of the original work.
This was an important part of how I could quickly unravel this story in the future.
For him, it was just amazing to see Cha Min-jun’s head spinning at a speed he had never experienced even in his school days.
Tiring- Tiring-
In the meantime.
Minjun’s smartphone rang in his pocket.
The sender was none other than Kim Pan-seo, a blacksmith who was set to be Cha Min-jun’s best friend.
Although the character Kim Pan-seo did not have the natural talent of a hunter in the original work, he was a person who created extensive weapons and equipment, and in some ways, he was the person who would be the most helpful to Cha Min-jun.
“hello?”
Minjun received a call from a nearby bathroom.
-Hey, Cha Min-jun! If there was such good news, you should have told this brother first!
“??”
– Man, you don’t have to hide it. I already heard everything from Cheonwoo.
Due to Kim Cheon-woo’s usually light-spoken personality.
He, who was also close to Kim Pan-seo, seemed to have told me what happened today.
-If you’re that good at using a bow, tell me! Let me at least take a look at that Xenics ring.
“!!”
Minjun thought it was a good opportunity.
Since I didn’t have a bow of my own, I thought I should persuade Kim Pan-seo as best as I could to get a bow of my own.
“ring? “I can show you as much as I want.”
-oh! That’s good. It’s the weekend tomorrow, so come visit my workshop.
“If I show you the ring, will you make me a nice bow?”
-to? Bare mouth? I guess he doesn’t know anything. Do you know how much material and labor cost it takes to make one arrow?
“There is such a thing as trauma.”
-I’m so upset. Anyway, see you tomorrow. Let’s meet and share the details in person.
“okay.”
Min-jun received the address of Kim Pan-seo’s workplace via text message.
And the next day.
Minjun arrived at Panseo Kim’s workshop without difficulty.
“What kind of bow do you want?”
“Of course, if it’s colorful, durable, and strong, there’s nothing more to ask for, and oh… … .”
“stop!”
“??”
“it’s crazy? “To make such a good bow, you need to have at least a level C or higher magic stone.”
“C-Class Magic Stone?!”
Min-jun was amazed when he heard that it was a C-level or higher magic gem.
“Do you think it’s possible?”
