After hearing Kijeong’s words, Leeha came to his senses.

Having met Shin Nara was a fun, strange, and unforgettable memory, however, it wasn’t important right now.

“Yeah, that’s right. I think they found me after watching the Brass Golem video.”

“Ha~ Those bastards really……. That’s why getting information is so valuable. It must have been also the reason why those bastards were released like packs of dogs.”

“If Nara-ssi didn’t pass by this time, I would have been really dead.”

“Nara-ssi?”

“Oh? No, Shin Nara-nim.”

Seeing Leeha flustered, Kijeong smiled again.

“Puhihi, I wonder how flustered Shin Nara-nim would have been. There aren’t many people in Fibiel Kingdom that could threaten her, I couldn’t believe that you were so ridiculous that you’d throw your body in front of her. That would have been really funny. What kind of confidence was that, huh? You suddenly look more like an expert now than a big brother.”

“I didn’t know that there was that much difference. I felt sorry, she was just passing by and was unlucky to get caught up with me, and my armor has fire resistance, so I thought it would be better if I got hit.”

“Then you could have died, hyung. If you want to level up quickly, you should take care of yourself.”

“I know that as well. But what if I can’t do that.”

In fact, it was Kijeong who risked his life to protect Tale in the battle of Tiwi Canyon.

Perhaps it was Leeha and Kijeong’s weakness that they spoke coldly, but couldn’t act that way.

“Anyway, it’s right to be nervous because this time, I almost died.”

“Yes. Until level 100, only choose places where there aren’t many people-.”

“No, No, I can’t do that Kijeong.”

“What? What are you talking about?”

“I don’t really like revenge but,……. not this time.”

Leeha opened his character window, looked at his stats, and looked at Kijeong.

“Then what are you going to do?”

“I have to pay them back.”

Leeha’s eyes shone.

“Hmm,I like hyung quite a bit, but the meaning of paying them would be to attack the Rising Sun! You will be Middle Earth’s messiah for low-levels! That’s what you meant, right?”

His words were playful, but his voice was serious.

Kijeong frowned, and looked down.

“I-It’s not the same thing. I can’t just keep getting attacked. In that case, war-.”

“Who? How? Do you know anything about the Rising Sun? Have you ever wondered why these bastards still exist in Middle Earth?”

Kijeong cut off Leeha’s words and pointed things out.

Those who intensively abuse their power and bully users who were below level 100.

They’re like robbers who ruthlessly torment and loot items and gold to the point of crashing the game.

Why did such a vicious guild continue to exist in Middle Earth when Rising Sun did not even have experts? Of course, Leeha had guessed.

“Because it’s hard to destroy.”

“Right! Do you know how many of those fuckers there are? If all the Rising Sun mutts gathered,  there are so many of them that if they gather together there would be no place for beginners to spawn in Candle Castle. Generally, those mutts are scattered, but they are still a guild. They are an organization! What if the higher ups gave orders to rush at you? You won’t be able to overcome that.”

“What about you? No, what about talented rankers?”

“There are obstacles there too. If it’s a 1-on-1, I am confident in winning against anyone from Rising Sun. But why do I have to? All rankers think the same, so they don’t intervene. I mean, there’s nothing to gain in comparison to the effort put in. Even if I kill them, they would keep coming out like cockroaches, so there’s no way to clean them up completely.”

If it’s 1-on-1, it’s worth trying.

But, there’s no way they would agree with 1-on-1. Moreover, simply killing them and taking their item was different from destroying something to the root.

“Hmm, what if you kill the guild master until he quits?”

“The vice guild master will take over…… otherwise, a 2nd or 3rd Rising Sun will appear.”

“Damn it! Does that mean there’s no other way than to avoid their eyes and level up?”

“That’s why that guild still exists.”

Kijeong made a simple conclusion and changed the topic.

“Anyway, you should start leveling up without thinking about anything else. Undestood?”

“Yes. I understand.”

Leeha responded promptly and nodded. It was then that Kijeong sighed.

“Haha, level up quickly so that you can hunt together with Shin Nara! Aren’t you supposed to show your cool side?”

“W-what are you talking about!”

Leeha giggled again and poked Leeha’s side to liven the atmosphere.

“Anyway, be careful. I will go now.”

“Alright, thank you for coming.”

“I was late, and wasn’t able to help. If it gets dangerous, tell me again, hyung.”

“Right.”

Kijeong laughed and tore a teleport scroll.

The background changed in an instant, but Leeha could see Kijeong’s expression harden.

 “Well……. First……. I should go as well.”

Leeha used the return scroll only after Kijeong disappeared.

It was the literal meaning of the word. At least for now, there seemed to be no other way than to level up.

“You’re here.”

“Yes!”

A habit from his military days always came out whenever he entered the academy.

However, it was rather comfortable for Leeha.

Browless also seemed to like his angular and hardworking behavior and tone, so the two of them got along well.

“Now, do you understand the difference between hunting and sniping?”

“Of course. Hunting and sniping are, namely, pursuing and waiting. In particular, sniping means preempting information about a target to reach a vulnerable travel route, and waiting until one could deal with the target.”

One shouldn’t just talk about it.

Leeha took out five roadrunner’s tail feathers from the bag and placed them on the desk.

After hearing Leeha’s explanation, Browless looked at the tail feathers.

His face was brighter than ever.

“Indeed…… you were able to complete it in just 10 days.”

Babam-!

The sound effect tried to cover his small speech, but it was already after it reached Leeha’s ears.

Browless’s smile was more welcome than simple compliments.

That smile was nothing less than the highest compliment that the director of the academy could give.

[You have completed Accuracy Enhancement Training 2: Sniper and Hunter.]

[You have acquired 5 silver.]

[Skill – Marking has been acquired.]

‘Good. Another one! It’s marking this time.’

Leeha followed Browless and smiled.

Although the reward money was not much, the skill was more precious than money.

‘Eagle’s eye is literally a skill for magnifying eyesight. Then marking……

Just looking at the name, one could already guess. It was literally to mark.

On what? Mark what? If the quests so far led to a story, one could also guess the content.

‘Does it mean to leave a mark on the sniping target?’

He had the urge to check and test the new skill, however, Browless did not even give him the chance.

“But without information about the target, waiting would be useless. Isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“When, where and how the target will come……. Even if it comes again, you have to know exactly what the goal is.”

Browless’s speech was relatively slow.

It was natural that another hint of this quest that was hidden in his words would leak out.

Leeha focused on his words.

“If it’s a monster it would be easy. In particular, boss monsters have different appearances, so anyone could tell. But what if the target was a person?”

“What?”

“People are different from monsters. If you don’t know their characteristics, you would have hard time recognizing them, and even if you know it, you won’t be able to distinguish them from afar.”

“I-It seems so.”

A person? A person suddenly?

Leeha nodded his head and answered.

It was definitely hard to tell people apart.

He should be able to do it with Eagle’s Eye, but what if he didn’t have it? Right now, he could only guess the color and shape of clothes from 200 meters away.

He couldn’t tell at all the external features, such as mole on a face, or an unusually protruding belly.

One could tell the difference of color between Brass Golem and Stone Golem, but it was rare among people.

“Do you know what’s important, especially when dealing with people?”

“You just talked about information, so there must be something else.”

“Haha, you’re quick to notice. What is it?”

It was a riddle from Browless. Leeha was reminded of the basics of sniping.

Strictly speaking, killing a target from a distance is not the end for a sniper. There was no real end.

Leeha was able to answer Browless’s riddle.

“Securing a safe escape route. It is of utmost importance that a sniper can return safely. Especially when dealing with people, you have to be vigilant, you have to be able to get away from intelligent pursuit, so unlike with monsters, you have to make an effort.”

Clap, clap, clap.

Browless clapped as he heard Leeha’s reply.

Shuaak- a notification window appeared before the applause was over.

[Accuracy Enhancement-3: Comprehension Test]

Description: ‘You must not be caught, let alone reveal your identity. What makes snipers feared is not letting the targets know who, when, and where they are being targeted. In order to maximize fear, you should be undetected and successfully return safely. Be sure to come back. Alive……’ 

Browless’s voice had a certain amount of power. As the final sequence of training, the test that Browless gives is a real battle.

Content: Kill ‘Angel’, the leader of ‘Wild Angels’, within 30 days (0 / 1)

Reward: Skill-Snipe, Intimacy with the Sacred Knights +20%, Fibiel Kingdom National Contribution +50

Condition for Failure: Exceeding the time limit, death, party play

Penalty for failure: [Accuracy Enhancement Training] will disappear, [Miss Elizabeth’s Will] will disappear, [Disappeared Legends] will be cancelled, [Browless’s Expectations] will be cancelled, Quest route will reset.

-Are you sure you want to accept?

‘Last test……! And snipe? What is that!’

In addition, there was another skill in the reward.

In Middle Earth, where it was extremely difficult to obtain a single skill, 

 Leeha received 3 consecutive skill quests.

‘It is definitely a quest that is meant to train me. I got it all.

And in terms of rewards, it’s a catch, but only if it is successful.

Seeing Browless’s bright expression somewhat darken, Leeha scanned the contents of the quest again.

“Recently, the Sacred Knights are losing their minds because of the guys who have been roaming the Southeastern provinces.”

“Are they magicians?”

“Yes. Looting, Arson, Human Trafficking. It was said that it was difficult for the local guards to handle it because of the sudden increase in taxes. They have sent separate squadrons several times, but it was reported that they were impossible to defeat because of the ‘bastard’ who is good at strategy and tactics.”

“Hmm… it looks like the leader of the bandits is a strong person.”

The name was also displayed in the quest window.

‘Angel’. Seeing his name was Angel and was involved in human trafficking, Leeha frowned.

“However, it is impossible to send the Sacred Knights to clean up some thugs, and we’re the ones to get the request. It is the judgement of the Sacred Knights that if there’s a guy who is good at strategy and tactics, we just need to remove him.”

Browless showed a poster.

“Is that his face?”

“They have never seen him, but that’s what was drawn after hearing rumors and descriptions.” And he is called Angel.

” I think his name should just be Dark Angel.”

“Haha, right.”

Leeha took a closer look at the image.
