Transcension Academy

Chapter 40:

Seo-joon, who accessed the Transcension Academy, searched for the link he saw last time and clicked.

<Training equipment produced by the successful students>

[Imitation] Mistilteinn.

[Imitation] Excalibur.

[Imitation] Longinus' spear.

.

.

.

Then the smartphone screen blinks, and the pictures of various weapons are listed.

Seo-joon was mesmerized for a moment and appreciated them.

"I feel this every time, but the fact that this is for training"

Seo-joon looked at his spear, which was placed in one corner. It was a spear made by a blacksmith with good skills enough to be used by the Sword Saint, but compared to the weapons reflected on the smartphone screen, it looked pale in comparison.

In fact, the comparison itself was ridiculous.

Successful students were transcendents and no matter how good the blacksmith was, he was not a transcendent.

In that sense, the weapons on the screen were items that would cost tens of billions of won if they were brought into reality and sold immediately.

Without going far, even if he just shows Excalibur to Sword Saint right away, he will try to buy it at all costs.

Then he would have no more money worries, but Seo-joon was regretful that he couldn't do that.

"I think Longinus' spear is the best weapon"

Seo Jun scrolled down and looked at the equipment sold one by one.

The Transcension Academy sold equipment such as armors, as well as other items not related to combat.

[Imitation] Kestos Himas.

The belt of Aphrodite that its said to seduce every member of the opposite sex when worn.

[Imitation] Gleipnir.

Gleipnir is the rope that the Aesir used to bind the monstrous wolf Fenrir. The Aesir commissioned the dwarves to forge a chain that was impossible to break.

Other than this, there are many other types of elixir, jewelry, magic books, etc.

"What should I buy?"

Seo-joon was stuck while thinking about what to buy.

Actually, he was thinking of armor, shoes, or gloves. Combat-related equipment, to be precise but it was hard to choose since there are so many different types on sale.

And the biggest reason he was having trouble right now was that most of the items were priced between 100 and 200 million.

Items worth tens of billions were only priced at 100-200 million. Of course, that was understandable considering that Longinus's spear cost 100 million.

"Hmmm"

But Seo Jun didn't take this at face value. From his experience with cause and effect, there was no way they would give these items away like this.

The only reason he could think of was that he hadn't yet purchased the Longinus Spear.

In other words, it was very likely that the price would increase due to the adjustment of cause and effect with each purchase.

"Maybe not, but"

It was just a guess, but it couldn't hurt to be cautious.

If his assumptions were true, he could have bought anything, only to find out later that the price had skyrocketed and he couldn't afford what he really needed.

Well, it's never too late to change your mind but now was the time to be cautious.

"The problem is that there's no explanation of the effects of the products."

Seo-joon clicked on each of the posted links. There were only names and pictures, but no explanation of what they were supposed to do.

All he could do was guess based on their names and mythology.

If the names weren't mythical or he didn't recognize them, he couldn't even tell what they were supposed to do. Most importantly, he couldn't verify that they actually had the effects mentioned in the myths.

Maybe the word "imitation" had another meaning but he couldn't just buy any of them and see.

"Oh, I wonder if there are any reviews on the forum."

Seo-joon went straight to the forum and searched for training equipment', reviews', recommendations', etc.

And voila, a bunch of posts appeared. There were quite a few, but one caught Seo-joon's attention immediately.

"[2,700 Years of Sympathy] 100 Transcendent Equipment Reviews and Personal Recommendations."

"Wow you've used 100 of them?"

Seo-joon clicked on the post without hesitation.

Equipment sold by the Transcension Academy.

There are many people who are worried about what to choose, and the wrong choice will only lead to unnecessary consequences so I'm writing a review of the 100 items I've used.

I have a cause and effect farming place, so collecting cause and effect is relatively easy.

I hope it will be helpful to other beginners who are struggling.

First, I excluded consumables like elixirs and I also excluded my main weapon.

If you haven't purchased your main weapon yet, buy it first.

Read this after that. Then assume that you purchased your main weapon

What I used is mostly semi-permanent equipment. And I rated those equipments out of 10 by combining various evaluation factors such as combat, utility, life, and convenience.

It's purely my personal assessment, so please understand this.

1. 1. The Shield of Aegis

This is just garbage. Don't even look at it because aside from its ability to block any attack, there's this weird thing on the shield that looks like Medusa's head.

It's supposed to be an ability that turns the target to stone, and it works by just looking at them but the problem is that it turns you into stone as well.

There's no control over that ability so its just garbage.

My score is 2 out of 10 however, as a gift for a close friend, it's a 10.

.

.

Seo-joon was momentarily dazed.

When he regained his composure, he continued to read the post, thinking that he was really glad he checked the community thread first.

The author had written a very detailed review of the equipment but the problem was, it was a long post with about 100 points.

"That's a lot"

Seo-joon flipped through the text like he was reading a web novel, focusing on the rating scores and then.

87. 87. Kibissis.

This one is pretty self-explanatory, really. In fact, I wrote this article just to recommend it.

There are quite a few people who don't know this, but to briefly introduce it, it is a subspace pocket with space expansion and lightweight magic, image memory and time stop magic.

When you train to become a transcendent, you do a lot of closed-door training. However, closed-door training is not something you can just do when you want to do it, and it requires a lot of things.

Usually, when you do closed-door training, you do it for 100 years, 200 years so you need a warehouse to store food for that time, and if it's too big, it's hard to manage. You also need to keep the food from spoiling.

How can you live by only eating?

Sometimes on days when training is not going well, you need to refresh yourself.

Of course, you can go down to earth whenever you need it, but then your heart will be shaken again. Hahahahaha, when I see people smiling, I wonder if I should go through all this trouble to transcend

I know the pain but with this one, it's just over. Game over.

Put everything you need in the Kibissis and go into a cave or somewhere similar and youll be able to do closed-door training.

I think it's better to buy it in the beginning and make a profit rather than buying it when its expensive because of the cause and effect rate.

I've used it myself, and I don't know if it's because it's made with adamantium, but it's also very durable.

If I have to pick a weak point

It's an imitation, so it doesn't reduce the weight completely, but it does reduce it by 70%.

The space is not infinite, but it's spacious enough.

My score is 100 out of 10.

.

.

There were more posts after that, but nothing that immediately stood out.

Seo-joon scrolled down and checked the comments.

.

[Devil of Destruction]: Heartfelt writing.

[2,700 Years of Sympathy]: I'm glad you found it helpful.

[I'll definitely transcend this time!]: Equipment review ward.

[Sympathy for 2,700 years]: Always fighting.

[Lightbringer]: So you mixed adamantium into the Kibissis? Does that contribute to the price?

[2,700 year old sympathizer]: I was surprised at first, too, but when I analyzed it, there was adamantium, albeit in small amounts.

[Lightbringer]: No matter how small the amount, adamantium is

[Mjolnir grunts]: That's right, it's adamantium. I'm taking a Hephaestus lecture right now, and the assignment is to make a copy of Kibissis and turn it in, regardless of quality. But there's adamantium in it.

[2,700 years of sympathy]: Oh, you must be a transcendent preparing for the crafting profession.

[Mjolnir grunts]: O. It hasn't been long since I started. By the way, if you don't mind, could you help me extract the adamantium?

[2,700 years old sympathizes]: Eh? Extracting adamantium? I'm an aspiring Transcendent Magician.

[Mjolnir grunts]: I know, but I can't do it myself.

[2,700 years of sympathy]: Then why dont you ask a transcendent from the same profession.

[Mjolnir grunts]: I was going to, but there is no compassion among acquaintances.

[2,700 Years of Sympathy]: What does compassion have to do with adamantium extraction?

[Mjolnir grunts]: Of course it matters when it comes to adamantium.

[2,700 years of sympathy]: ???

[Succubus]: Sir. You don't actually think this adamantium is that adamantium, do you?

[Mjolnir grunts]:?????????? So it wasn't Adamantium???

[2,700 years of sympathy]: Are you insane?

[Executioner of Oblivion]: I'm going to interpret that one that way.

[Swordsman Returns]: Are you crazy or what?

.

"Are you insane?"

Seo-joon repeatedly thought, checking the comments several times but no matter how much he thought about it, that seemed insane.

He could never think of such a thing if he was in his right mind.

"No, no matter how long you've just started"

Seo-joon shook his head.

Thinking about it carefully, this community itself was not in its right mind.

"Kibissis"

Seo-joon checked Kibissis, since it was strongly recommended.

[Imitation] Kibissis.

A fist-sized pouch that belonged to Hera, a goddess in the Greco-Roman mythology, and it was the pouch in which the hero Perseus carried Medusa's head after he hunted her.

A magical pouch that can hold anything and can be taken out whenever the user wants.

Seo-joon clicked on the link and checked the price.

<We are measuring the appropriate price by calculating the cause and effect factor >

.

<100,000,000 >

I didn't know how much it would change if he bought Longinus' spear, but it didn't seem to consume a lot of cause and effect.

HmmI think it would be useful to have it.

He could have carried the bodies all at once when he was doing dungeon raids.

Not only that, but in the future, when he would raid six-star dungeons it would be even more useful.

It doesn't offer the same combat support as other gear, but other than that, it's a really useful item.

"It's a little disappointing that it doesn't completely reduce weight."

Apparently, it's not the real thing, so it has its limitations.

He wont be able to carry an unlimited number of items with it but 70% was a huge effect.

"Hmm? Doesn't this make squats great?"

For Seo-joon, that was a plus.

Three days later Seo-joon was released from the hospital.

It was a pretty serious wound, but thanks to his natural awakening and Shakyamuni lecture progress he was able to recover quickly.

There was no reason for him to stay in the hospital when he felt fine, and in fact, he was getting impatient.

Yesterday, he received his prize money for winning the contest and for the first time in his life, Seo-joon could see the amount on his bank account in hundreds of millions.

"Wow that's crazy to see in reality."

Seo-joon kept looking at Longinus' spear in his hand. Unlike in the photos, it seemed to radiate an aura.

At the same time, Seo-joon was able to purchase not only the Spear of Longinus, but also the Kibissis.

The price of the Kibissis changed as soon as he purchased Longinus Spear and increased to 300 million.

Thus, the total amount of money Seo Jun spent to purchase Longinus Spear and Kibissis was 400 million.

"In any case, this cause and effect doesn't want to see me own anything."

Seo-joon shook his head.

Of course, he still had 25 million won from the corpse disposal, so he wasn't worried about his living expenses.

"I can save money again."

Seo-joon didn't pay much attention since money comes and goes.

Above all, there was no reason to be sad because it was not a gamble or anything, but a purchase of equipment. And since he bought new equipment, he should test it.

"As soon as you leave the hospital, you want to do a dungeon raid Wouldn't it be better to rest a little?"

Seo-joon asked Seo-yoon to book a dungeon.

"What's the point of taking a rest when Im fine? I have to make money quickly."

"You got the prize money this time."

"I'm done with that."

"What? Where in the world did you use 400 million won?

Seo-joon lifted Longinus' spear slightly and said, as Seo-yoon opened her eyes wide.

"I spent all of it on this."

"Spear? No, what's wrong. What I gave you?

Seo-yoon closed her mouth because the spear Seo-joon was holding seemed unusual and she couldnt reprimand him for spending 400 million won just for purchasing a spear.

"You're desperate to test it.

"That's right."

Seo-yoon smiled and moved on.

"Well, it's Seo-joon's money, so I'm not going to argue about it, but at least it's not an iron bar.

Seo-yoon and Seo-joon and moved together.

The dungeon Seo-joon and Seo-yoon came to was a four-star monster, Gargoyle's dungeon.

As Dream Academy was promoted to the third division, a four-star dungeon raid was possible. However, an academy official had to participate, and that was why Seo-yoon came with him now.

"Be careful. I'll come forward if it's dangerous, but there might be unexpected situations."

"Yes."

Seo-joon nodded and moved slowly.

Gargoyle was a unique monster that usually was a stone statue and moved alive when an intruder appeared. Their body itself was a statue, so their defense is one of the top among the four-star monsters.

A gargoyle's appearance after some time.

As it felt Seo-joons presence the statue vibrated and it began to move.

With a bang, Seo-joon stomped on the ground and charged at the gargoyle because it took a while for the gargoyle to be able to move normally.

Of course, since it was still a stone statue, its defense was strong.

Boom!

Seo-joon lightly struck it with Longinus' Spear. First, he wanted to test the power of Longinus' spear, without using Reverse Divergence or Merlin's mana.

No matter how strong the defense of the gargoyle was Longinus' spear should be able to hurt it but when the Longinus' spear hit it the gargoyle crumbled and stopped moving.

"?"

"?"

Question marks appeared on Seo-joon and Seo-yoon's faces at the same time as they stared at each other and opened their mouths at the same time.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

You shouldn't ask me that.

Seo-yoon desperately suppressed the words that were about to pop out.
