Breaking News! Largest domestic criminal organization, Villain Clan suppressed!
Clan master, Hwang Dong-yeon who was veiled has been arrested.
Academy Alliance with participation of 42 domestic clans. Successful operation. Praise from the Holder Association and government continues
In the end, it was the Academy students who made it happen. The arrest of Villains key executive Cha Soo-yeon was also led by 1st year students.
The arrested Villain executive Cha Soo-yeon, Umm Dont look at me. I want to kill you. Threatens the press corps with sharp words
The hectic suppression operation was successfully wrapped up, and articles poured out from the Holder community.
The largest domestic criminal organization and unauthorized clan <Villain>.
Their solid organizational structure has been destroyed.
Although Hwang Seong-yeon, the mastermind behind Koreas largest criminal Gwanghwamun Mass Murder Incident, failed to be arrested, all other key executives and core clan members were successfully apprehended.
Especially with the perfect arrest of the clan master Hwang Dong-yeon who was veiled The Holder community was able to completely sever all the connections that made up <Villain>.
In recent years, it was about eliminating various wanted criminals that had been headaches in Korea.
Who exactly is Do Jae-hyun, the hero born in the Academy?
Do Jae-hyun who is still 1st year. Huge clans are pouring their interest on him
Kang Woo-hyun of Judgement of Fire. Has intention to recruit Do Jae-hyun.
Are Do Jae-hyun and Moon Ga-eun dating? Rumors floating around the Academy Will Do Jae-hyun go to <Royal>?
Among the central figures, the main interest would be Do Jae-hyun.
He became a star through this operation after making a name for himself earlier with the Kim Do-yoon Assault Incident and founding the <Anti-Villain> circle.
He had found Villains unauthorized warp gates and main smuggling income sources early by being dispatched to Japan. He also effectively blocked the ensuing two-pronged attack.
Following that was the Villain Suppression Operation the next day.
In this large-scale operation with participation of 42 domestic clans, he continued his exceptional performance.
He stalled almost alone until allied reinforcements arrived and made major contributions after that such as arresting Hwang Dong-yeon.
Naturally, headlines of all articles featured him.
Although each clan and the Academy played pivotal roles in the operation, the key resolution was similar to Do Jae-hyuns work.
Could Do Jae-hyuns contracted monster be S-grade or A-grade?
Academy Professor Kang Dong-wook, There is no Holder in the domestic training field superior to Do Jae-hyun
Do Jae-hyun the extreme Multi-Holder. Just how many runes does he have?
Articles digging deep into him also came out.
A Multi-Holder who can use all kinds of weapons.
At the same time, he also utilizes various attribute magic runes.
Moreover, in this operation, he revealed the power of [Training Contract] which has recently become a hot topic, by showcasing the Bone Dragon called his contracted monster A mutant Holder encompassing multiple talents.
If until now, the Holder communitys view of Do Jae-hyun had been a promising junior Holder with tremendous potential.
Now, he was rising as the trendy Multi-Holder to lead the Korean Holder community.
He was the mysterious and astounding, representative Holder of Korea.
We should also consider scouting him.
Amidst that
The clans interest was a given.
The <Dragon Light Sword> clan which had ignored <Judgement of Fire> and <Royal>s interest towards Do Jae-hyun so far, started expressing aggressive interest in him from this incident onwards.
Song Do-hyeok, the eternal clan master of <Dragon Light Sword>.
He leisurely told the clan scout team leader.
At that, the scout team leader answered with an awkward expression.
Uh Master? I think Holder Do Jae-hyun wont be easy to scout.
Why?
When Song Do-hyeok asked, the scout team leader slowly replied.
Firstly, he isnt from the warrior-type Holder that is our clans main scouting target.
Didnt you say hes Professor Tak Won-hos disciple from the Academy? Then he must definitely use swords.
At the same time, hes also Senior Yoo Eun-seols disciple. Not just that, he uses magic runes like mages, and summons like trainers. Rather than distinctly categorizing Holder Do Jae-hyun, its better to see him as a multi-talented Multi-Holder encompassing various disciplines.
At those words, Song Do-hyeok nodded.
I think I roughly heard about that part.
Above all, our clan has no story with Holder Do Jae-hyun.
?
Suddenly, why the talk about stories?
Song Do-hyeok made a puzzled face at the scout team leaders puzzling words.
The scout team leader then quickly brought out a report and recited.
From long-term observation by our team until now, Holder Do Jae-hyun has links with all 3 major domestic clans. Hes best friends with Moon Ga-eun Holder from Royal Clan, and has even had meals together with her father, Moon Jung-hyuk Holder. Considering how close the two are, there are even rumors they might be dating.
It was as if he had been waiting for today.
The scout team leader continued with an excited face.
It gets worse with Judgement of Fire. Its well known in the Academy how close he is with successor Holder Kang Juyeon, and he had even exceptionally worked as an intern clan member. Judgement of Fire is probably the clan closest to recruiting Holder Do Jae-hyun.
Here, the scout team leaders expression suddenly darkened.
On the other hand, our Dragon Light Sword Clan has nothing. No connections at all.
If there was any connection at all
It would be how Do Jae-hyun uses swords as his main weapon, suiting the talent that <Dragon Light Sword> desired?
Even that meaning had long faded due to his recently revealed abilities and runes.
Compared to the other 3 major clans, there is no reason whatsoever for Holder Do Jae-hyun to go out of his way to join our clan over others.
Hearing the scout team leaders dejected voice, Song Do-hyeok asked with a stunned face.
Is it my fault?
How could it be Masters fault? If there is any fault, it lies in our scouting team for falling behind the trends of domestic Holders and not arguing more strongly for stronger recruitment. Sigh.
The scout team leaders voice was tinged with deep regret.
In fact, the scout team had consistently advocated for the recruitment of Do Jae-hyun.
However, Song Do-hyuk was a rather unique domestic clan master who focused on the individual growth of his Holders, so he couldnt give such detailed recruitment instructions.
He had thought, what could a first-year student Holder do well anyway?
What was once faint interest has now exploded, sparked by this incident That was the change.
Song Do-hyuk scratched his head and said to the scout team leader,
Can we still not do anything now?
Im afraid it will be difficult. He needs to naturally become friendly, only then there might be an opportunity, but in our Song family there are no Holders of similar age to Holder Do Jae-hyun, right?
As evident from the words our Song family, the scout team leader was a member of the Song family, same as Song Do-hyuk.
The Song Family.
Along with the Tak Family Foundation, they were evaluated as one of the two major authoritative families of swordsmanship in the country.
They were the core family that established the <Dragon Light Sword> clan.
The majority of the clan members consisted of members of the family, and even the clan master Song Do-hyuk was the current head of the family.
Also, because they owned so many shares, it was reasonable to see the <Dragon Light Sword> clan as being owned by the Song family.
As such, almost all the families Holders belonged to the <Dragon Light Sword> clan.
However, unfortunately among the Song family members currently attending the Academy, there wasnt a single student Holder.
Because there were no family members of that age group.
Story and bond is important, The scout team leader pointed out.
Frankly, even if some of the clan members got close to him, would that be anything more than a business partner.
He would have to naturally get close and personally step forward wanting to join the <Dragon Light Sword> clan.
As the undisputed top among the current promising Holders.
With both fame and ability, Do Jae-hyun required such meticulous approach to even have the slightest chance of recruitment.
Having heard that much, Song Do-hyuk suddenly slapped the table as if struck by a thought.
A Holder around the same age. Dont we have one?
Huh? Who
My youngest sister Hyun-a. Hyun-a will be entering the Academy next year, so they can get close as senior and junior.
At those words, the scout team leaders expression turned odd.
It was a face that seemed to have misheard something.
Uh Master? Its true that Ms. Hyun-a is an outstanding member of the family, but she certainly didnt have the talent to be a Rune Holder
Song Do-hyuks youngest sister, a direct descendant of the Song family.
Song Hyun-a.
The fact that she didnt have the talent to be a Rune Holder had been a story passed down in the family and clan for a long time.
She had sword skills and understanding that were considered one of the best in the family, but oddly enough, she didnt have the talent as a Rune Holder, which was regretful to those around her.
So even though she was turning 20 next year, she had been scheduled to just attend university as normal Why is the master suddenly talking about her entering the Academy?
What was Song Do-hyuk talking about?
She didnt have it, until last month.
Facing the scout team leader tilting his head in puzzlement.
Song Do-hyuk revealed an incomprehensible smile.
A fact only he, the closest to his little sister, knew.
His little sister who hadnt been able to obtain even the common [Sword] rune, had already finished her awakening in a way that would astonish the world.
I need to tell Hyun-a beforehand. To get a little close with her senior.
The fierce recruitment battle of the top 3 domestic clans towards Do Jae-hyun
Had thus, secretly begun in this way.
