◈ Episode 49: Providing true education (1)
The ‘World Monster Research Society’ was one of the renowned societies with a fairly high standing in the industry.
As expected, basically what the contractors had to deal with were monsters.
Even when you enter the dungeon, there are monsters.
Even if you enter the labyrinth, there are monsters.
Of course, depending on the type of labyrinth or dungeon, there are places where there are traps or other gimmicks rather than monsters, but in the end, there are monsters in dungeons and labyrinths.
Therefore, the contractors knew that the more information they had about monsters, the higher their survival rate would be.
No matter how difficult a monster it is to deal with, if you know how to attack it first, the difficulty level drops to a level where you can feel it.
Therefore, the ‘World Monster Research Society’, which is actually creating monster strategies, has a fairly high standing in the industry.
There is, though.
“So what.”
“Well, so… … “If you help me here-”
Liliya spoke with a hint of concern, but Kim Joo-hyuk answered without hesitation.
“no.”
“Jebaal~”
At one word from Kim Joo-hyuk, Lily grabs his hand and runs away.
However, whether she was jumping up and down or turning in all directions, Kim Joo-hyuk opened his mouth with a calm expression.
“You scolded me too, right?”
“I didn’t say anything!”
“Do you think this is just for one day? “I think it took about 8 hours for us to fly here?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Liliya slowly turned her eyes to the side and noticed his gaze, but then spoke as if it was okay.
“Well, there are 24 hours in a day, right?”
“however?”
“Then shouldn’t we return to Valhalla within 24 hours?”
“Hmm… … .”
When Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think about it for a moment, Liliya continued to open her mouth as if it was the right time.
“Besides, Joohyuk, this is your first time coming to Europe, right? So, take this time to travel abroad for a while! “Eat some delicious food!”
“Uhm-”
Liliya’s desperate persuasion.
Kim Joo-hyuk thought about her persuasion for a while and then.
‘… … Okay, just about a day. ‘I made a promise anyway.’
In the end, since Kim Joo-hyuk had promised to take a day off, he concluded by neatly honoring his promise.
“So, what do I do?”
“huh?”
“Didn’t you bring me here because you had something to do?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Liliya looked blank for a moment, but then smiled, nodded, and began a simple explanation.
And Kim Joo-hyuk, who had been listening to the explanation for a while, nodded and spoke as if he understood.
“So, to put it simply, you want to prove a paper you submitted at an academic conference, and you want me to do the proof for you, something like that?”
“Yes, to be exact, it is a newly rewritten paper based on the information you provided. Of course it has your name in it too! As I said last time, as a co-author!”
“Didn’t you say last time that you would let me be your companion?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Liliya shook her head and said.
“No, in the end, it is the information you provided, so any papers rewritten based on the information you provided will include your name as a co-author!”
How are you, Lily? Am I great? He smiled, but Kim Joo-hyuk calmly nodded his head and asked.
“But do I really need to prove it? “You said it was ‘quick bore’ that needed proof, right?”
“that’s right.”
Quick bore.
They are monsters that appear in basic swamp or forest dungeons, and their appearance is not much different from a giant pig.
However, when looking at the rating, Quick Boar was a dangerous monster that was rated A-level, and the reason was because of Quick Boar’s rush.
If you are hit by a quickbore’s rush, the speed of which is so fast that the contractor cannot keep up, unless the contractor has a defense-related ability, he or she will at least be unable to fight.
Therefore, basically, as a result of research conducted at the academic society, the way to catch a quick bore is to use magical power to levitate the quick bore in the air after it has finished charging.
Otherwise, a method was proposed in which a contractor, who is fine even if hit directly by the quick bore’s charge, blocks the quick bore’s charge head on and then disposes of it.
“… … Well, first, let me explain briefly.”
Lily begins explaining once again.
Kim Joo-hyuk listened quietly to her words and soon answered.
“So, you have to demonstrate killing a Quick Boar with just a sword in front of the famous members of the academy without using any defensive abilities or magic. “What is this?”
“that’s right.”
“Can’t someone else just do it? “Anyway, I only have to stab the front leg joint once when the quickbore comes running, so what’s so difficult about that?”
Liliya seemed to notice Kim Joo-hyuk’s harsh words and spoke.
“that is… … Actually, I already tried asking a few other contractors, but they all said they wouldn’t do it… … .”
“Why don’t you do it?”
“hmm… … This is also a story that has a lot to do with industry circumstances, but if I tell it really briefly, I have a lot to lose, right?”
“… … Well, if I fail, I feel embarrassed, something like that?”
“huh. On the other hand, if it is successful, it will attract public attention, but as you know, contractors who are already famous want to protect their name rather than attract attention.”
“Well, I guess I get it roughly.”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood Liliya’s words, then shrugged his shoulders and spoke.
“okay. “Then when should I do it?”
“In another hour!”
Kim Joo-hyuk nodded as if he understood what Liliya said.

“… … so. Is this the end?”
“huh? what?”
A steakhouse located in downtown North London.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who had just served a steak in front of him, looked at Liliya with a strange expression and asked.
“Proof of thesis. “Has it been proven that I just handled it once?”
“yes?”
“okay?”
“But why suddenly?”
When Liliya tilted her head as if she was curious, Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to think for a moment and then spoke.
“No, I thought there was something sloppy about it.”
He recalled what happened a little while ago.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who received a request from Liliya, moved to the management room where the Quick Bore was isolated while she was giving an explanation to the conference members gathered in the hall and killed the Quick Bore in the management room.
That’s it.
In fact, Kim Joo-hyuk, who thought there must have been something else to it, was a little shocked when he heard Liliya say that the presentation was over.
That’s because all Kim Joo-hyuk did was kill Quick Boar using ‘Liliya’s spell’.
As Kim Joo-hyuk was thinking about what happened a little while ago, Liliya opened her mouth.
“It’s not sloppy. “In the first place, this is proof of whether or not Quick Bore can be killed using the method you described.”
“In other words, no matter who kills someone, it is acknowledged as long as they kill him using the method written in the paper?”
“yes. Now, how to use it to conquer dungeons is up to the guild, not us who wrote the paper. Rather-”
Liliya looked at the steak in front of Kim Joo-hyuk and smiled.
“Is it delicious? Is it delicious? Is it delicious?”
“I haven’t even eaten yet, so stop asking.”
“Try it quickly because it’s super delicious!”
Kim Joo-hyuk pushed away Liliya’s face, which was pushing her too hard, and cut up a large piece of meat that was plated appetizingly in front of him and stuffed it into his mouth.
“Oh, it’s delicious?”
“Is it delicious? “I knew so~ This is the secret restaurant I found!”
Lily looks proud as if she just introduced me to a great restaurant.
“It seems like it was famous in the first place rather than just because you found it.”
As Kim Joo-hyuk looked around at the gorgeous surroundings, she shrugged her shoulders and said,
“of course! “What a famous place this is!”
“It’s famous, so why is it a secret restaurant?”
“It’s a secret restaurant in my heart!”
“It’s like you’ll always be crazy in my mind.”
Looking at Liliya, who opened her mouth with a pleasant smile despite Kim Joo-hyuk’s diss, he said as if something suddenly occurred to him while he was cutting steak.
“Hey, by the way, it looks like you have a lot of enemies in the academy or something?”
“enemy?”
“Yeah, when I left the conference earlier, it looked like they were going to send assassins soon, right?”
When Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the group of people giving hostile looks to Liliya as she was leaving the previous conference, she spoke as if it was no big deal.
“You don’t have to worry about them.”
“why?”
“They are idiots who only play with power and do not study monsters.”
Lily suddenly stiffens her face and reacts cynically.
Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders, and Liliya, looking at him, relaxed her expression again and asked.
“More than that.”
“More than that?”
“Have you ever thought about it?”
“What, about a companion?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, Liliya nodded with an expectant expression and said that.
“Seeing as we have the same thoughts, it seems like our hearts are slowly becoming one.”
Kim Joo-hyuk immediately responded to her words.
“Think about your age. yes? “What on earth are you doing at 22?”
“Is 22 still young?”
“It seems to me that you are very old compared to your mental age.”
Of course, considering Kim Joo-hyuk’s age 300 years ago, he would have been scolded by Liliya, but he shamelessly decided to go out.
There’s no way Liliya would know that fact anyway.
How long has it been since we started having lunch while continuing our conversation with Liliya?
“Wait, is that okay?”
A woman appeared in front of Kim Joo-hyuk and Liliya who were cutting steak.
Liliya looked at the woman with a puzzled expression-
“?!”
-Immediately he looked very surprised.
Soon, Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at Liliya’s expression, looked at the woman with a puzzled expression, and she smiled and sat down on a chair and talked.
“Nice to meet you. Student Kim Joo-hyuk, despite my shortcomings, my name is ‘Seol-ryeon’ and I am the head of the ‘Baekryun Association.’ “Can we talk a little bit?”
Hoeju, who leads the White Lotus Association, one of the three major academies in the world, suddenly invades.
Thanks to her sudden appearance without any warning, Liliya looked at Seol-ryeon with an angry expression, but Kim Joo-hyuk observed her calmly.
What she is wearing is pure white traditional clothing.
Kim Joo-hyuk, who was looking at the hair strangely, had white hair and black hair mixed together in a specific pattern, and thought blankly.
‘tiger?’
A curious hair pattern that looks similar to that of a tiger.
Kim Joo-hyuk confirmed her appearance once.
‘Does it have some magical power?’
Soon, she felt the enormous magical power secretly flowing inside her body, and after thinking that, she opened her mouth.
“With me?”
“yes.”
“This suddenly?”
“Actually, even if not now, I was planning to visit and see you at least once.”
“why?”
“I have something urgent to ask you.”
“… … “Please?”
In response to Kim Joo-hyuk’s question, she nodded and spoke.
“yes. “This may be a very simple request for Kim Joo-hyuk.”
At her words, Kim Joo-hyuk shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, trying to express his refusal.
To begin with, Kim Joo-hyuk didn’t particularly enjoy listening to someone else’s requests.
however.
‘… … for a moment?’
“… … “Did you say you were the leader of the White Lotus Society earlier?”
“yes. that’s right.”
Seol-ryeon still responds with a smile on her face without showing any discomfort to Kim Joo-hyuk’s words that may seem a little arrogant.
“What is compensation?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asked.
“If you just do me a favor first, I can do everything I can.”
Seolryeon said so.
On that.
“First, let’s hear what your request is.”
Kim Joo-hyuk spoke with a smile on his face.
