Chapter 80
On the way back to the dormitory, the sweaty Chae Da-Hee and Jae-Hyeok ran into each other halfway.
“Where do you go every night?”
“Fishing.”
Recently, Jae-Hyeok ended his days at the coast. On the surface, it was to hunt black tuna, but his actual purpose was something else. They must’ve figured out my routine by now. He was luring assassins. He wanted to eliminate the threats on campus as soon as possible, but most importantly, he needed to figure out the families and organizations behind them. Killing that assassin Yoon Sang-Ho and finding out that the Steel Guild was behind him had helped Jae-Hyeok greatly. Now, he was alert to any faculty with the slightest connection to the Steel Guild.
Once I’ve built up enough power, I could attack them first, or I could use them... he began to contemplate.
Jae-Hyeok was a swan in the eyes of his teammates—he took it easy in every class and training session, and every time he faced a crisis, he overcame it with grace. However, beneath the water’s surface, swans swam nonstop—their life was fierce and desperate.
I hope the assassins will come forward quickly.
Jae-Hyeok’s growth was phenomenal enough, but the benefits of hunting high-level players were so great that he hoped the assassins would come out already.
Even if I want to grow faster, I won’t consume the Fairy Tears.
The Fairy’s Tears had no recipe. It was an advanced elixir with a terrible probability of dropping when clearing S-grade-and-higher quests or S-class boss monsters. Its value was simply too great to take carelessly.
Taking the Fairy’s Tears would raise his stats by 4 at least, but the result depended on how much of the elixir's energy he absorbed. The more he could absorb, the higher the stat increase. Famously, it was said that the Fourth Dragon, one of China’s National Treasures, used the Fairy’s Tears to gain as many as 8 stat points.
