The new semester started as the academy opened.
You can tell the start just by looking at the buildings.
The lecture rooms that had been dark for a while light up, and various internal facilities like cafes and bookstores resume business.
At the entrance, the placard saying ‘Welcome to Seoul Holder Academy new students!’ is still hung, and occasionally there are phrases congratulating the ‘Villain Subjugation Squad’ or Do Jae-hyun’s achievements.
“Anyone want to commemorate the opening with a match? Assassin department C-grade or below only!”
“Come hang out at the book club BluBook. It’s different from a circle!”
“Hello! I’m from the new clan Chaser. Any 3rd years still undecided on your path, how about a consultation...”
The people were the same.
Returning students who advanced a year and newly admitted freshmen.
The professors who would teach them and various outside guests.
Even the scouts from the various clans hiding here and there.
People of diverse affiliations roamed the academy grounds, each with their own purpose.
Thanks to them, a fresh atmosphere overflowed on campus for a change.
“Hmm...”
And on the morning of the first period,
Song Hyun-a was heading to the Warrior department building.
It was for the first lecture to start.
Actually, the sword lectures held little meaning for her.
The daughter of the famous sword family Song, and the sister of Song Do-hyuk, the Brilliant Sword Path clan master.
Her reputation alone proved her sword skills, and she even discovered how to acquire the [Sword] rune herself.
Becoming a Holder was just difficult, but after that she demonstrated overwhelming talent.
So no matter which sword lecture she took at the academy, it was hard to gain any meaningful effect.
‘...But he’s the senior’s master.’
The reason she was attending the sword lecture was one.
The professor teaching it was the famous Kim Myeong-hyun, Do Jae-hyun’s master.
Not just any professor who taught him once, but his exclusive master.
This semester he was even the Warrior department head, a true expert.
Especially
If she took that class,
Not only could she receive high-level instruction, but maybe...
‘I might hear some episodes related to the senior?’
With that expectation, she signed up for Professor Kim Myeong-hyun’s lecture.
It seems like a trivial reason, but it was very important to her as Do Jae-hyun’s devoted fan.
Moreover, Song Hyun-a wasn’t the only student like that.
As Do Jae-hyun’s popularity rapidly rose among new students as an admired senior and aspiring Holder after successively boosting his stock with the ‘Villain Subjugation Operation’, ‘Transcendent Chamber’, and ‘Ripple Raid’, his fan club membership grew daily, and on days with related lectures like today, the competition multiplied.
It was a rare phenomenon for a first period lecture to have such intense competition.
“Hyun-a~”
And a familiar voice came from behind.
Her friend, a new Assassin department student and another victor in the lecture competition, Park Yoo-seo.
“Let’s go together.”
“You’re up early?”
“Of course! It’s not just any lecture, it’s Ki Breathing. I absolutely won’t be late.”
‘Ki Breathing’ was an abbreviated way to refer to the
It was nearly a miracle to meet the usually late-sleeping Park Yoo-seo in the morning, but for the Ki Breathing lecture she attended right on time as if she had signed a contract.
If her brother Park Jin-woo saw, he might faint in shock.
“Okay! See you later, Arin.”
With that, Choi Arin entered the next classroom, and Song Hyun-a and Park Yoo-seo also entered room 302 for the Combat Breathing class.
And...
In room 302, where Kim Myeong-hyun’s lecture on
A handsome student assistant was standing in the center.
“Hello, students. Today, Professor Kim Myeong-hyun had an urgent external business trip, so I will be giving the orientation on the first day instead. Although I’m just an undergraduate student, the professor directly received approval from the administration, so don’t worry and just attend the class. Now, let me start with attendance.”
The sudden appearance of the most famous person at the academy caused an uproar in the lecture hall.
A professor absent on the first day due to personal matters.
Moreover, instead of a teaching assistant, an undergraduate student was assigned as a substitute by the professor.
Ordinarily, this would have resulted in a torrent of criticism in the lecture evaluation, but since it was Do Jae-hyun, the situation changed.
-Is this for real?
-Should I get his autograph?
-Kyaaa...!!
The lecture hall had already become a fan meeting venue.
Watching this, Song Hyun-a blankly thought,
‘Why is this real?’
Park Yoo-seo...
Does she have some kind of future-telling rune?

“We did it! It’s a success!”
Professor Kang Dong-wook exclaimed with a voice filled with joy.
While I tried to remain composed during the experiment, in truth my mind was filled with the thought that we had succeeded.
“Holder Do Jae-hyun is truly remarkable. An area that I could not succeed in despite years of research...”
“No, if it weren’t for you professor, I would not have been able to unlock even the first stage.”
“Hahaha! Still humble as always.”
We were researching the [Order of Fusion] as usual.
The special item [Order of Fusion] that provides unlimited possibilities to Holders who deal with contracts.
Normally, this item only raises the Leadership ability score by 10, but its ability changes depending on the unlocking of seals.
The first stage increases understanding and affinity with contractors.
The second stage makes successful contracts easier and increases the probability.
And the third stage...
Provides unlimited magic for maintaining the summons of contractors.
In other words, as long as the Leadership ability score is supported, no matter how many contractors are summoned, there is no impact on magic at all.
‘...So it wasn’t easy.’
As much as it showed an ability incomparable to the other stages, the unlocking process was quite complicated and difficult.
It was impossible for the expert Professor Kang Dong-wook despite years of effort, and I joined for a few months of research together but made no progress.
However, today, the day of the special research,
We finally succeeded in unlocking the third stage seal of the [Order of Fusion].
At the center of this amazing result...
Was the higher rune [Law of Contracts] that I had newly obtained.
