Chapter 3: Third Job (9)

Even before the loud noise could be heard, everyone was already looking at me with eyes demanding an explanation.

"Bro... Sir..."

"How... How could you do that?"

Even Kim Hyun-sung was speechless.

"It's a characteristic of my job."

"Ah..."

Their faces clearly showed that they needed a bit more explanation. The brief moment of unease was quickly passing.

"To put it more precisely, it's the result of a biological experiment using a catalyst with the same genetic information."

"What... What are you talking about? I don't understand at all..."

"Can you explain it a bit more simply?"

"Of course. Think of it like a remote control and a TV that reacts to it. The remote control is in my hand, and the giant monster's arm over there is like the TV. In fact, it's not that difficult as long as there's a catalyst that can react. The preparation process is a bit challenging, though."

"Even so..."

Once again, expressions of amazement burst forth.

It was only natural for them to have such expressions.

I was also taken aback, even to the point of being flustered, when I first created the result.

Looking at the information again, I felt a sense of pride. It was hard to believe that this was something I had created.

My stats had increased significantly overall, and I had gained the special summon knowledge as a job effect.

Actually, saying I "gained" it is a bit strange.

It was knowledge I had created based on the theories I had established. The most noticeable thing was the Unique Hero job rank.

Everyone was curious, so I smiled slightly and opened my mouth.

"The name of my job is Bio-Alchemy Summoner, and the job rank is Unique Hero Rank."

"Ah."

"Unique Hero Rank?"

"Yeah."

For some reason, Park Deok-gu looked a bit deflated. After checking the information, I could tell why he had that expression.

'Rare?'

Everyone except Park Deok-gu had obtained Hero Rank jobs, which caught my eye.

Even the young Kim Ye-ri had achieved Hero Rank on her second job change, which is usually achieved on the fourth or fifth job change. This was an unusually fast progression.

Although he seemed to feel some inferiority, I thought it would be fine to take care of Park Deok-gu's mental state later.

It was more important to address the team's curiosity first.

"Unique Hero Rank... That's impressive, Gi-yeong."

"I didn't know there were other types of ranks besides Rare, Hero, and Legendary."

"Perhaps it means that you are the only one who can have this job. There are a few adventurers in the city who have been judged as Unique Rank. They received their Unique Rank jobs when they discovered something new, but even if others replicate their actions or results, they don't receive the same job."

"Ah."

"In simple terms, it means a job that cannot be mass-produced."

'Not bad.'

Being unique is an advantage.

It means I can significantly increase my value.

Looking at Kim Hyun-sung, I saw his excited face as he started to explain.

I had walked around the city and used my Mind's Eye to check people's information, but I had never seen a Unique Hero Rank job.

He might know something I don't, but if not, it means Kim Hyun-sung is revealing information about the future.

"Because it is specialized in one area, there are certainly disadvantages, but there are also sufficient advantages. I thought it might grow in the direction of potions or homunculi, but..."

"I considered studying homunculi more, but my Intelligence is still low, so I don't understand it well. I thought about delving into the chimera field, but I was concerned about controlling the created chimeras. I don't have the skills or magic power to maintain mental control."

"Ah..."

"If I can't control the entire chimera, I thought about controlling a part of it, and the answer came quickly. Let's put that aside for now."

I recited the spell again, and the giant monster's arm began to shrink.

It was a revised version of the Reverse spell, which reverses all magical effects.

"First, what you just saw is not a summon. At first, it wasn't even a living being and had no will of its own... But after the job change, it was fortunately judged as a summon."

"I see."

It looks impressive, but it's not without its drawbacks.

First, the quality of the materials is extremely important.

The quality must be good enough to withstand the various magical processes.

It means using materials that are difficult to use as consumables. At a minimum, Rare Rank catalysts or higher must be used.

Second, the maintenance time is not long.

Unlike other summons that can stay by their master's side for a long time, the maintenance time of my bio-alchemy result is very short.

Another issue is that I can't fully transform the entire body.

For now, I can only summon a part of it.

Although it is a magical attack, it is judged as a physical attack, which is also a disadvantage.

If I discover catalysts from other monsters, there might be other options, but for now, this is all I know.

What's more important than my judgment is Kim Hyun-sung's opinion.

The most important thing is whether the new job and abilities will be helpful or not for our future journey.

Looking at Kim Hyun-sung as if asking for an evaluation, he nodded and spoke.

"Good job."

"Ah."

"I thought you could do well, but the result exceeded my expectations."

"Thank you."

"I need to look into it a bit more, but..."

Just hearing that he's satisfied makes me feel good.

Not just Kim Hyun-sung, but the party members were also very impressed when I demonstrated my abilities.

Cheers of congratulations made me feel even better.

"Of course, I knew you could do it, bro. Wow... It's completely awesome, bro."

"Thanks, Deok-gu."

"Congratulations..."

Even Kim Ye-ri opened her mouth slightly.

It was the first time I could hear her voice clearly.

I tried to pat her head, but she quickly hid behind Kim Hyun-sung, and my arm swung through the air.

Just then, I saw Jung Hyeon's face.

She looked anxious.

It wasn't because I had reached out to Kim Ye-ri.

'Does she think she's been caught?'

The mechanism of the alchemy I showed was very similar to the magic she had cast, and her face was trembling.

She was undoubtedly worried that I had discovered her magic.

I had thought about putting a brake on Jung Hyeon's actions, but the timing wasn't right, so I kept quiet.

"Hyeon."

"Ah... Yes, bro."

Holding her hand tightly, she seemed to calm down.

Her face showed a sense of guilt, confirming that my choice was right.

'She needs to realize it on her own.'

The best approach is to make her realize that her actions are wrong.

Since her disposition hasn't changed, I thought that if I made her feel uncomfortable, she would stop such behavior.

"Let's have breakfast and talk. Gi-yeong also needs to know what we've gained."

'I don't have to tell him, but...'

It's easier if they explain it themselves.

"The expedition seems to have been satisfying."

"Actually, it wasn't that great. At first, it was so difficult that I thought we might have to turn back..."

"..."

"I want to hear the details."

As Kim Hyun-sung spoke, the atmosphere became quiet. I quickly realized that it was even worse than I imagined.

"We entered and exited a Rare Rank dungeon. It took three days from entering the dungeon to setting out."

"Huh?"

"Jung Hyeon's physical condition wasn't good..."

"Ah."

Jung Hyeon's head bowed deeply.

Although she tried to cover it by saying her physical condition was poor, I could guess what had happened.

She probably didn't eat properly or take care of herself until the moment we left, so her physical condition was terrible. I imagined she caused a lot of trouble in the dungeon.

'So that's why it took so long.'

The three days Kim Hyun-sung mentioned were probably spent stabilizing Jung Hyeon's mental state.

"Deok-gu also took a long time to adapt. I saw many different sides of him, not just the ones he showed before. The same goes for Ye-ri. Despite her lack of experience, she caused unexpected trouble for the party. We would have had a much harder time without Hyeong."

"..."

"..."

'It sounds like he's talking to them on purpose.'

"The coordination was a mess. If I hadn't intervened, we might have been wiped out. The rear guard was shooting arrows at the front, and the front guard's fear often put the rear guard in danger."

"Ugh..."

"The atmosphere was such that we could be wiped out at any moment."

Actually, it seemed like he was telling me about his struggles during that time, not just to them.

'...'

It felt like a parent telling their spouse about their child's bad behavior.

Sure enough, Park Deok-gu and Jung Hyeon's heads bowed even lower.

"But as we went on, we settled into our roles, and the results were not bad."

"Ah."

"We all reached 60 in our stats and successfully obtained Hero Rank jobs."

"Ah..."

"I'll explain the details inside."

'Everyone?'

It didn't take long to realize that something was off about Kim Hyun-sung's statement.

I had clearly seen that Park Deok-gu's job rank was Rare.

'This pig...'
