âYes.â
Lebron nodded and accepted the Sword of Examination from Hyeonu.
âHe has grown this much already.â
Unlike his casual appearance, Lebronâs heart was beating fast. Hyeonuâs growth was so fast. In fact, Lebron was going to teach Hyeonu another skill even if he failed to draw the Sword of Examination. Hyeonu was the only successor. The sooner he passed everything to Hyeonu, the sooner the moment of freedom would come to Lebron.
âStill, isnât this too fast?â
Yet apart from that, Hyeonuâs growth was clearly abnormal. The time it took for Lebron to draw the Sword of Examination was 10 years. He was able to draw it only after10 years of rolling like a dog under John Blake.
âNevertheless, it is better to be fast than slow.â
Hyeonuâs rapid growth was never bad. It was just surprising.
âOriginally, it was time to learn Cutting the Moonlight and Land of Mirrors, but... Iâll teach you something else.â Lebron once again spoke to Hyeonu.
âThank you, Teacher.â Hyeonu bowed with sincerity toward Lebron.
[Your class has changed to âCommander of the Knight of Keon (True)â]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[All stats will increase by 350 respectively.]
A message window appeared in front of Hyeonu that informed him of the fifth class advancement. There were two short sentences.
âThe fifth class advancement...â
Still, that alone was enough for Hyeonu.
His heart was overwhelmed. He was the first player to do the fifth class advancement. Of course, Hyeonu was also the first one to do the fourth class advancement. However, it was a very small difference at the time. Now it was different. It was overwhelming. It was reminiscent of a few years ago when he was called meleegod instead of Alley Leader.
âStatus Window.â
Hyeonu wanted to quickly see what changed.
[Status Window]

Hyeonu was welcomed with numbers that were different from when he checked not long ago. This was the dignity of the fifth class advancement. Hyeonu was about to get ahead several steps faster than before.
âThe most important thing is the skill.â
Hyeonu removed the status window and looked up. Something more important than the stats increase remained.
âWhat I am going to teach you this time is called the essence of the skills that the knight commander can learn.â
Lebron glanced at Yeongchan and started talking. He didnât seem to care much about Yeongchanâs presence. However, Yeongchan avoided this place on his own. It was because he thought it was polite. It was respect for Lebron and respect for his friend, Hyeonu.
Yeongchan stepped back very quietly and left the training field. Both Lebron and Hyeonu felt Yeongchanâs actions, but they pretended not to know. They focused on each other.
âIn a way, you can think of it as what you have been taught so far is for this moment.â
Hyeonuâs expectations grew bigger at Lebronâs words.
âHow good is the skill for him to say that?â
Hyeonu had learned many things since becoming a Knight of Keon. The skills alone reached nearly 10. Most of them were magic power-related skills. He couldnât help feeling excited when he heard it was all a preparation for one thing.
âThis was taught to me by my master and commander, Duke Blake. Just as I learned it, you will learn it.â
Lebron's explanation was grand. The more he did so, the greater Hyeonuâs expectations grew.
âWhat is it, Teacher?â
âKeon.â
âKeon? Isnât that the name of the knights division?â
âThat is why we are called the Knights of Keon. It is due to this.â
Lebron reached out one hand toward Hyeonu. Magic power swirled on Lebronâs hand, creating a small sphere. It gave off an overwhelming force just by looking at it.
âWhat is this?â
Hyeonuâs eyes widened at the energy that seemed to squeeze his entire body.
[You have been exposed to the vigor of Lebron, the number one knight of the empire.]
[Due to the influence of fighting energy, you have resisted the vigor of Lebron, the number one knight of the empire.]
[Resistance has failed.]
[Due to the influence of fighting energy, you have resisted the vigor of Lebron, the number one knight of the empire.]
[Resistance has failed.]
[Due to the influence of Immovable Heart, you have resisted the vigor of Lebron, the number one knight of the empire.]
[Resistance has failed.]
[Player âGang Hyeonuâ has entered the âstunnedâ condition.]
Hyeonu couldnât do anything. He had to stand still and watch Lebronâs actions.
âKeon is the most violent form of magic power. You donât need a sword. You donât have to stretch out your fist. It is enough as long as you have strong willpower.â
The magic power sphere, which had been rotating on Lebronâs palm, soared high into the sky. The sphere rose to the point where it couldnât be seen at all and exploded. There was a roar reminiscent of thunder.
Hyeonu got goosebumps on his arms. It exploded from so far away it couldnât be seen, but the aftermath alone was this much.
âThis is what I will learn?â
A slightly different feeling from goosebumps came over Hyeonu. Such a powerful skill would soon become his own. Pleasure started to flood in at this thought.
âHowever, the limitations are as great as strong power. It has a structure where the user is bound to suffer damage themselves.â
Hyeonu looked at Lebron. It was only a little bit, but he couldnât erase the feeling of paleness.
âThere is definitely a risk.â
The strength didnât come out of nowhere. Due to the risks, such power was given as compensation.
âThat is why I had to draw the Sword of Examination, Teacher.â
Hyeonu realized why he had to draw the Sword of Examination. He had to be able to deal with magic power well to be able to use âKeon.â
"That's right. Drawing the sword is the minimum condition to learn Keon.â Lebron approached Hyeonu. âTurn around. Iâll pass on Keon to you. There is no need to drag it on longer.â
Hyeonu quickly turned around. There was no reason to hesitate when he was being passed the skill.
âFocus. Focus on the movement of magic power.â Lebron placed his palm on Hyeonuâs back. Then he started to inject magic power into Hyeonuâs body.
âFocus, focus.â
Hyeonu looked at how Lebronâs magic power moved through his body.
âIt is definitely passing through.â
Lebronâs magic power moved like a storm through Hyeonuâs body.
âAm I losing health?â
Hyeonu felt his health decreasing as Lebronâs magic power moved. It wasnât just that. A powerful vigor was flowing through his whole body. Hyeonu raised one hand without realizing it. Purple magic power poured like lightning from Hyeonuâs fingers.
âEh?â
Hyeonu looked at his fingers again and again like it was something he couldnât believe.
[A skill has been created.]
[Keon]
[A magic power management method learned only by the commander of the Knights of Keon. It has difficult acquisition conditions. It gnaws at the userâs life as much as its strong power.
Type: Continuous
Rating: Epic
Skill Proficiency: F
The effect of magic power is increased by 300%. Health will decrease in proportion to the magic power used. There is a certain chance that it will cause the âdestructionâ abnormal condition (However, the higher the number of magic power-related skills and their skill proficiency, the lower the amount of health that is reduced).]
âI am speechless.â
Hyeonu laughed when he saw the description of the skill in front of him.
He thought it would be powerful, but he never imagined it would be this much. It increased the effect of magic power by 300%. It might be an epic skill, but it was still an overwhelming figure that was hard to understand.
âThe problem is that I will lose health...â
It needed to be accurately identified. Hyeonu could recover his health and magic power thanks to the effect of items, but if he used Keon too much and Hyeonuâs health wore out all at once...
âRecover and log out immediately to sleep.â
âTeacher, how much pressure does Keon have on the body?â Hyeonu questioned Lebron first before experiencing it with his body.
There was someone who was already aware of it, so it was ignorant to do it recklessly.
âHonestly, it isnât big. It is just a bit annoying.â Lebron made a face like it was insignificant.
âEven so, wonât the dust gather and become a great mountain?â Hyeonu asked once again.
Lebronâs answer was too easy-going. âWhy do you think you will fight until the dust becomes a mountain? You just have to end it on the spot.â
Lebronâs answer in return was even more spectacular. Finish it before too much health ran out.
âIâm an idiot for asking.â
Hyeonu shook his head with a light sigh.
Lebronâs answer should only be considered as a very small reference point.
âIs there anything else? A tip to help boost health... or something to rapidly improve my physical abilities...â
Hyeonu showed regret. He got a ridiculously good skill, but in the end, it was just one reward.He thought it was a bit shabby for a reward obtained from the fifth class advancement.
"There is. Of course there is.â Lebron nodded. There was such a secret.
âTeach me quickly, Teacher.â Hyeonu approached Lebron.
âTrain hard. If you reach the limit and cross it, youâll be fine someday,â Lebron said while smiling at Hyeonu.
âTeacher!â Hyeonu shouted at Lebronâs extremely principled answer. Hyeonu already knew this method. It was also the answer that Hyeonu didnât want the most.
âIt is a joke, a joke. Still, why are you acting so heated toward your teacher? There is no respect.â
Lebron sighed. However, Hyeonu ignored him and let out a bigger sigh. The two of them continued to sigh at each other.
âDamn guy. There is no such sloppy thing. Who raised you like this?â
Lebron eventually raised the white flag first. It was natural for a teacher to give it to his disciple.
âI thought I could tease him for a while...!â
However, Hyeonu was worse than Lebron thought. He was quick to notice. It was clear that he noticed that Keon alone lacked something.
âThis is really the last thing.â
Lebron took out a small box and threw it toward Hyeonu.
âWhat is this?â Hyeonu barely caught the box and asked.
âDonât pretend you donât know. It is what you wanted.â Lebron snorted as if Hyeonuâs attitude was terrible. âThen go first. You should think about your friend waiting outside.â
Lebron waved like Hyeonu was bothering him and sat in the center of the training hall before closing his eyes.
âTeacherâs love for your discipleâIâll receive it happily.â
It was only then that Hyeonu smiled and put the box into his inventory. Then he briefly said goodbye to Lebron and exited the training ground.
âIf you knew whose gift that is... you wouldnât be so happy.â
âHuhu... Huhuhu...â Lebron burst out laughing when he saw Hyeonu disappear.
