I Obtained a Mythic Item - Chapter 27
Episode 27 United Front (2)
Chae-Aeng!
The swords collided, pouring out bloody crackling sounds along with flames.
Two people engaged in sparring compete for supremacy with swordsmanship, aiming for each other’s gaps while soaked in sweat.
However, Dalian was led unilaterally by one side.
The moment the swords meet for the first time, it is already the difference between victory and defeat.
difference in class.
There was a gulf between the two that could not be crossed.
Of course, the two clashing swords were not unaware of this fact.
I just do my best in the given match.
“also. Cadet Ahn Ho-yeon is overwhelming. The other person is also a student at Milles Academy, two years older than him, so such a difference. He deserves to be called Wonderkid.”
“That’s right. Jeong Ho-cheol isn’t a cadet with bad results in Dalian, but… he’s also not matched by his overwhelming talent.”
“Well, he’s a cadet who’s been called an S-class raider for the first time in years.”
The data analysts gathered at the arena shared their thoughts briefly while watching the two fight.
It was a confrontation between Ahn Ho-yeon, a prospective cadet who had not yet entered Milles Academy, and Jeong Ho-cheol, who was about to graduate, but contrary to expectations, people gathered here with great expectations.
The reason was simple.
This is because Ahn Ho-yeon was a very famous person among the Dalian opponents.
Recently, in the media, there has been no other person of his age who is as famous as he is.
Ahn Ho-yeon.
A martial arts genius and a person born with the talent of the next S-class raider in Korea.
According to the figures released through the media, he already recorded a martial arts aptitude of 92 in middle school, breaking Korea’s own record.
Moreover, since he has both a tall stature and a beautiful appearance, it goes without saying of its commercial value.
Chaeeng! visor! visor!
The two are still fighting swords.
Jeong Ho-cheol trembled his sword-holding hand and whispered in a small voice that others would not hear.
“hey. Can’t you just do it in moderation and look at it? If I lose here, what will I become as a senior?”
“Are you going to talk to your senpai even when fighting the Witchbeast? When it’s time to say that, swing your sword one more time. Don’t even think about cheating.”
Ahn Ho-yeon put strength into the hand holding the sword and pushed Jeong Ho-cheol away.
It was a resolute and harsh way of expressing that he had no intention of looking at it.
Chaeeng!
An Ho-yeon, who cut off the clashing swords, quickly thrust the sword into the vicinity of Jeong Ho-cheol’s staggering neck.
The speed is unbelievable for a student who has not yet undergone professional education.
Both the strength and agility stats were destructive attacks that could not be released unless they were overwhelming.
Jeong Ho-cheol was unable to do anything even while watching the digging sword.
However, after watching the sword flying towards him, he took a small nap and watched An Ho-yeon with resentful eyes.
A cold sweat ran down Jung Ho-cheol’s back.
‘shit. Even if this is fast…!’
Jeong Ho-cheol gave up the counterattack with a stunned face at the dizzying horizontal thrust of the sword.
Ahn Ho-yeon was a monster.
He is a person with an overwhelming ability to change the track.
On the other hand, Jeong Ho-cheol was just a gifted person with a moderate level of talent.
Quick!
The sword shot like an arrow and bent as if it were bent, and then stabbed the nape of the neck.
Just before Ahn Ho-yeon’s sword dug into Jeong Ho-cheol’s wool belt, the sound of the system signaled the end of the sparring.
―End of sparring.
―The winner is cadet Ahn Ho-yeon.
Right after the Dalian ended.
The evaluators and data analysts made faces of satisfaction.
Ahn Ho-yeon did not show any signs of happiness.
He took off the safety gear he was wearing, threw it on casually, and walked toward a man waiting for him.
The man spoke first.
“Good work.”
“yes. father.”
Ahn Ho-yeon said in an emotionless voice.
His father Ahn Seok-gu was also the same.
The two of them were rich, but not very close, especially when they were having these conversations.
Ahn Seok-gu glanced at the battle system analysis table handed over a moment ago and said.
“Don’t get excited. It was a game we had to win.”
“I know.”
An Ho-yeon furrowed her brows a little, but didn’t reply.
He removed the electrodes attached to his body.
It is a device that records a kind of bio-signal, and it was an object that could record radar movements and patterns.
To put it simply, it can be seen as an auxiliary tool that helps detect the cadet’s weaknesses or habits and helps them fight more perfectly.
Ahn Seok-gu crossed his arms and looked at An Ho-yeon’s dark face.
“To become an S-class raider, you have to easily defeat opponents like this. You are gifted with great talent. In order to raise our family, you must do well. Do you know what I mean?”
“I’ll go wash up first. I’ll hear the story later.”
Ahn Ho-yeon, who bowed her head and left the training ground, stood in front of the shower room.
Shootaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa shower.
Water streams came pouring from the shower head, dyeing his bright hair.
Ahn Ho-yeon sighed as he looked at his messy hair.
‘Where did it get so twisted?’
But there was no time to think deeply.
A little later, my father and I were supposed to go to the Radar department store to buy something.
He quickly took a shower and changed his clothes.
His behavior with his father was always full of discomfort.

While reading the description of items and skills, Jaehyun briefly ran his finger over his chin.
‘When you say «Mystiltane», do you mean the «Mistiltane» of Norse mythology?’
Jaehyun narrowed his eyes and thought.
In Norse mythology, the Mistiltein, or mistletoe branch, was the object that ended the immortality of Baldur, son of Odin.
A cursed item in any sense that ended the immortality of the god loved by everyone.
This item was given to Jaehyun, who was chosen as the enemy of Aesir.
‘Is this also a prank of the Nornir system?’
He did not think that he had discovered 《Mistiltain》 by chance.
The item resonated with < Odin's Lost Eye >, as well as the fact that this item was given to himself, the adversary of the Æsir.
A weapon that was the direct cause of the war between the Æsir camp and the anti-Æsir camp, or Ragnarok.
That said, it was a story that Jaehyun’s acquisition of < < Misteltain > > was also deeply related to the circumstances of the gods.
Perhaps the Nornir System and Mimir Van Aesir Goddess wanted Jaehyun to hold this item and face the Aesir Gods?
It’s not certain, but according to mythology, it’s not an improbable story.
Apart from that, the item’s stats were extremely outstanding.
Even a passive skill that increases mana sensitivity and allows you to see the thread of mana.
It was an item that could not be discarded even after taking it apart.
“Are you still willing to buy something?”
The salesperson asked with a slightly impatient look.
It was because he couldn’t serve other customers if he dragged on for such a long time, and he didn’t even think that Jaehyun would buy such a questionable item at an outrageous price.
It wasn’t very wise to spend time here at Radar Department Store on a customer who wouldn’t bother buying an item.
However, seeing her expression, Jaehyun immediately nodded and said.
“I will live. with a check card. The balance should be sufficient.”
“yes. That’s right too. Then…… Huh?! You want to buy this item?”
The saleswoman’s pupils widened after answering casually, and soon her face turned to surprise.
Of course, 50 million won was a small amount of money that could not buy anything higher than C grade.
But that doesn’t mean there’s no reason to gamble 50 million won… Is this the hobby of a rich boy?
‘No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a third-generation conglomerate……’
Jaehyun’s impression was extremely ordinary.
But burning 50 million won on such a gamble?
But he didn’t say anything outwardly.
He is a salesman himself, and if there are customers who want to buy something, he just sells it. There is absolutely no reason to take responsibility for the aftermath.
“All right. Then I will pack the goods, so please wait for a while.”
After bowing and saying hello lightly, the salesperson took the goods and moved to the back.
Jaehyun was delighted to see him.
I got a good equipment that I didn’t even think of.
‘Mistiltane’ is a growth-type item that grows with the user. It’s not something that can be easily obtained. Moreover, it is an item directly guided by the Nornir System and 《Odin’s Lost Eye》. There’s no way to lose.’
50 million won might be a little expensive for him now, but it wouldn’t be there in the future.
After entering Milles Academy, Jaehyun will grow faster.
There are plenty of fucking events at the academy with formidable enemies that even Night Shade can’t compare to.
As long as you get good grades there, you will be able to work without worrying about money.
In addition, there was a moment when he was worried because he did not have a weapon.
There was no reason not to purchase an item that simultaneously compensates physical and magical attack power.
‘The only question is what kind of weapon this is.’
It is highly likely that < < Mistiltein > > was gifted to him by the Nornir System.
If so, is it magic-type equipment?
Fortunately, it was an item obtained through the arrangement of the system, so the item could be equipped without any appraisal skill.
All you need is a level that is limited to wear.
However, there is a limit to what can be seen with the < Detection > skill.
For example, I couldn’t see anything like the exterior of the equipment, only the effects and skills attached to the equipment.
Because of this, Jaehyun had no idea what kind of equipment 《Mistiltain》 was.
Is it a sword, a bow, or a staff? anything other than that.
‘There’s no need to think deeply about it.’
Anyway, it’s an item with a level limit on wear.
He thought that it wouldn’t take much longer for Jaehyun to reach level 30 than he thought, but once he had time, there was no need to rush into finding a way.
“Here it is.”
The saleswoman, who had finished packing and checking out before she knew it, handed Jaehyun a paper bag containing the items.
It’s not bulky, so it seemed like they put it right in the bag.
“Then, now that we’ve bought everything to buy… Shall we go back soon?”
Jaehyun was about to leave the store and go home soon.
Most of the items were supposed to be delivered by courier, so the only thing I had to bring was the «Mistiltein» I had just purchased.
‘Once everything here is over. I’ll have to go back and check the rest.’
The moment when Jaehyun thought so, he was about to go home.
With an ear-piercing scream, Jaehyun’s heart sank.
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“Please save me!”
“A certain monster… a goblin has appeared!”
A series of screams began to echo through the department store and the alleys around it.
Jaehyun’s eyes narrowed.
‘……What’s going on? Is it a demon?’
Jaehyun calmly and quickly looked around to see people’s reactions.
I could see those who had run away and entered the building.
‘It looks like something happened outside… I need to go quickly.’
Immediately, he put magic on his legs and jumped over the crowd.
Jaehyun focused on hearing to find the source of the scream.
The sound comes from the back door of the department store and the alleyway.
Jaehyun hurriedly ran outside.
As soon as he arrived at the alley, he saw dozens of goblins and innocent people being attacked.
Jaehyun bit his lip.
‘I can’t handle all of these by myself. If it’s just strength, I’ll be able to do something… but I’m sure a few of them will escape.’
I opened my magic and began to analyze the situation.
‘If you send even one out there, there will be innocent casualties. What should I do?’
Even if you use the surrounding terrain, this place is too open.
Although it is an alley, it is directly connected to the downtown area around it.
Realistically, it will take almost two hours for the support of the national radars to arrive in a situation where there is a shortage of manpower as in recent years.
Probably, if the dungeon break is left unattended until then, the people who will die will be one truck.
Jaehyun hurriedly looked around.
It was to find out if there was someone who could support him.
And then.
“uh?!”
A small sigh escaped Jaehyun’s mouth.
A boy came into Jaehyun’s eyes as he was looking around.
A handsome man of the same age as himself, with a sturdy physique and even a fine appearance.
“That guy is… Ahn Ho-yeon?”
Ahn Ho-yeon.
Like himself, he is a prospective entrant to Milles Academy and a genius boy born with the greatest talent in the martial arts world in Korea.
At that moment, countless thoughts started running through Jaehyun’s head.
Soon he thought of the best way out of the situation.
A smile began to form on Jaehyun’s lips.
‘Lee Jae-sang followed by Ahn Ho-yeon…… The situation is going well?’
He planned to use Ahn Ho-yeon.
