The Only Swordsman of the Magic Academy

37 – Pendant of Happiness

*

While lying down to rest, the fatigue accumulated in my body suddenly completely disappeared and my body was floating towards the sky.

“Uh… Uh uh?”

I was taken aback by the sudden feeling of floating, but I didn’t feel like something wrapped around my body was trying to harm me, so I just let myself go.

In the sky raised like that, I could see the villagers living their daily lives at once.

“Thank you very much.”

While looking at them happily, I heard a man’s voice from the side. A handsome middle-aged man with yellow hair, as far as I know, was the village chief.

His head was bent down to touch the ground.

“It was something I did to gain the ability. It’s not something to be thanked for.”

I didn’t even really save them. He only swung his sword for self-satisfaction.

“No. I, no, we were feeling it. How did Hajun-nim feel and how he swung his sword. Could you look down for a moment?”

Even though he didn’t tell me my name, it seemed to be true that he was feeling my thoughts and feelings.

Once I looked down at his words, I saw new things from before.

The floor, which was obviously far away, was very near, and there was a woman full of freckles drinking at a pub whose name she did not know.

“Keuuu… After all, drinking after a mission is the best?”

It certainly looked like the girl I promised her had grown up. After getting old, he left the village and became a mercenary.

“If he wasn’t there, I wouldn’t be here…”

“Marie. Is that the story again?”

“He says nonsense all the time? How can a person kill thousands of monsters and two demons by himself?”

The two, who seemed to be colleagues, were drinking together, dismissing Marie’s words as lies.

“It’s real! He’s a hero who saved our village from almost disappearing..!”

“Okay. Okay. Okay, stop drinking before you throw up. You’re drunk.”

“Really…La…”

I was back in the sky the moment Marie fell so drunk.

“Marie, who had dreamed of adventure since she was a child, grew her dream even more after hearing Ha-Jun’s story. And as soon as she became an adult, she left the village and became a fairly famous mercenary.”

He snaps his fingers once, and this time he sees another person. The middle-aged man, who had been laughing at the pleasure of seeing his daughter these days, was shedding tears with a face close to old age.

“Oops… My daughter is getting married…”

“This nobleman… I should congratulate his daughter on getting married to the man she loves.”

“But… How I raised… Suck…”

Watching his daughter’s wedding that he was so proud of, he squeezed out all the tears he could squeeze out.

Aside from that, I saw stories of a young man who ran a bakery, a girl who handed out flowers, and an old lady who ran an inn. Everyone was going about their own daily lives.

“Because Hajun did his best, we were able to experience the future that everyone sincerely dreamed of, even with grudge.”

In games, I always only saw scenes of destruction, but seeing them achieve their dreams made me feel proud.

– Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

– Thank you.

In this way, the grudges that I have confirmed the story are disappearing one by one as I thank them.

“Now that everyone has resolved the grievance, it is as if you are saving us all. Once again… Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

It is also rude to say otherwise to someone who has gone this far.

“I’m so glad you were saved.”

I was truly fortunate that what I did was not meaningless, that you guys were able to resolve your grievances, and that you were able to make your dreams come true, even if only for a moment.

I don’t know where the grudges go, but I thought it was fortunate to be able to leave at least a piece of memories for them.

-It’s a weak ability, but please… I hope it helps to protect Ha-Jun’s world.

Lastly, the image of the village head dispersed, and a message appeared in front of my eyes.

[Dungeon: Happy Village has been cleared.]

[You have succeeded in defeating the demons.]

[Rewards are further enhanced!]

It was the first time I caught a demon, but it seems that there was a strengthening of the reward.

[Hidden condition: Achieved 0 deaths.]

[Rewards are further enhanced!]

This was a known condition. It was because he had spent close to 2 billion dollars to succeed as a knight.

[Reward: Obtain an Insight Eye (LvM).]

First of all, I got what I needed the most.

[Insight Eye (LvM): The eye that sees through the target. You can ignore the lower-legend mental barrier and check all the talents, stats, characteristics, and skills of the opponent you want. (Cooldown 1 hour)]

A status window containing the same information as in the game. Seeing this made me realize that I had an insight.

From noble mtl dot com

Now it will be much easier to recruit or nurture potential talent.

At the moment the information in the insight was removed, a new message emerged below.

[Choose a reward from the list below.]

[1. Skill Stone: Genesis (Lv1)]

[2. Artifact: Pendant of Happiness (Legendary)]

This time there was no elixir and two rewards. The former is the highest level of divine magic, and it is a magic that can inflict great s*xual property damage in a very wide range.

It is known to be the best among divine-type magic that the public knows because it even gives a wide range of heals and buffs to allies at the same time.

It’s a magic that can kill all B-level monsters in an instant and inflict great damage to demons… But first of all, since I can’t use magic, I must pass.

It looks like there is only one option this time around.

I immediately checked the information on the Pendant of Happiness.

[Pendant of Happiness (Legend): An object made from the desire to help Choi Ha-Jun and the huge energy created by all the grudges in the Happy Village. It has the ability only for him.

Stats▽

Stamina +3

Descent of Heroes▽

When the number of enemies outnumbers allies, ignores all negative effects by 30% and deals reflected damage to opponents who inflicted negative effects.

Continuing the battle▽

If you keep fighting continuously, all regeneration speeds increase up to 2x depending on the duration. (2 Hours to max stack)

Extension▽

Makes the duration of the desired ability 1.5 Times. (Cooldown 1 day)

Savior▽

When fighting to protect others, all abilities increase up to 1.3 Times depending on the depth of emotion.

Desperately live(必死則生)▽

When receiving lethal damage, the power of the next blow is tripled. (Cooldown 1 month)]

“Wow…”

This was something made for me.

A gift made by the people who sent me their thanks, hoping that my world would not perish.

All of my abilities matched that explanation.

‘From the stats…’

Because of the effect of transcendental strength, there was an imbalance between strength and physical strength, and the body recoiled badly, but it was alleviated by increasing physical strength by 3.

If it were this, it would be okay to actively use the energy of the sun when strengthening the body.

Advent of Heroes is said to ignore and reflect all negative effects when there are many enemies, but it will be very useful as it is overflowing with negative effects such as bleeding, burns, curses, and restraint.

Duration of battle will increase your already excellent regenerative ability, so you will be able to fight like cockroaches unless you die in a real blow.

‘Just imagining it is disgusting…’

As for extensions, the only thing I can use at this point is sword swordsmanship, but this alone will be of great help, and if the ability with a duration increases, it will shine.

A savior is a trait that boosts my stats under the premise that there is someone to protect, and lastly, mortal life is a trait that can be used in conjunction with death avoidance.

‘I barely killed a cockroach that didn’t die easily, but it revived with a three times stronger blow…’

If earlier he was just disgusting, now he’s disgusting enough to make you vomit. But that was me.

“There’s nothing more to see.”

It doesn’t make sense to choose a skill stone that can’t be used over this. Of course, you can make a lot of money if you sell it, but I wouldn’t give up a custom legendary artifact just for money.

“Choose the pendant of happiness.”

At that moment, a sword-shaped pendant descended toward my hand along with a brilliant light from the sky. Its form was exactly like a miniature version of Eden.

– Are you my brother?

“It’s not like that.”

After making two mothers, Eden is now trying to make her younger brother. Family love is great.

The moment I put the pendant of happiness around my neck like that, the pendant belonged to me completely, and I felt that my body was much more energetic and stronger than before.

At the same time, the world shattered and collapsed, and a portal appeared before my eyes.

The last dungeon before entering the academy was really over. After repeating the education and training of the children for a week now, it was the academy entrance exam.

“See you later in a nice place.”

I bowed my head once and threw myself into the portal, hoping to meet the grudges that disappeared here someday.
