Taming Master
< (1). Strong, and level-up -2 >
The planning team at YTBC is in chaos.
It was because YTBC's call room rang like a fire.
And most of them were protest calls from viewers.
[When are we going to broadcast the semi-finals?!]
[No, it's already been a day since the game ended, and it still doesn't make sense for me to be able to broadcast the game?]
Then all the arrows in the station returned to the planning team.
“Team Leader! What the hell is wrong with you? There's not much of a chance that it's the Lucky League every month, is there? ”
Director Park Moon-seong asked a series of questions, and Lee Han Sung, the team leader, became embarrassed.
It was because he knew why he was angry with himself.
Did you know I was going to be a rookie league champion? ’
Lee Hansung, as he did at the arena, added members of all the annotations and video editing teams to edit the major videos of the major leagues.
However, as soon as the Arena was over, the audience was flooded with protest calls, saying, "Why aren't the games of the Lucky League being broadcast?"
Although their personal videos were posted to the community, they were not as good as the ones shot with crystal beads on the station, and most of all, there were many users who wanted commentary.
As the situation unfolded, the YTBC planning team turned the Buryans into film editors for the finals and semi-finals.
But I had no choice but to be late.
“It's... it's probably because of the new job users, sir. ”
The glamour and dynamics of the video were naturally superior to the major competitions of top level users.
However, most of the users in major leagues were very well known.
Moreover, major leagues with more than ten times as many participants as the Luke League had just finished the preliminary competition, so there were no 64 videos yet.
In this situation, the finals of the luckiee league, where new jobs were surprisingly propagated, captured the user's attention rather than the major league's preliminaries showing obvious aspects.
“Oh, I mean it now...! ”
Park Munsung shouted at Lee Han Sung in a loud voice.
“Get all hands on deck and get ready to broadcast those rookie league footage as soon as possible, starting with the 64th race!!" ”
“Me, all of them? Even the people who were editing major league footage? ”
The Director frowned and said he was going to die.
“Yes, dude!! ”
And Lee Hansung replied with a dead voice.
“Yes, sir…. ”
Park Mun-sung continued.
“I'll write my resignation when it's broadcast later than any other company channel! ”
Boom!
Park Mun-sung went out roughly closing the door of the meeting room, and Lee Han-sung sighed deeply.
“Oh, this fucking company! I should write a resignation...! ”
Hansung left the meeting room in a hurry to give instructions to the planning team.
* * *
After all the schedules in the Arena of Luke League, Ian quickly made his way out of the Arena with a return stone.
It was because I didn't want to be wasted by annoying people.
‘I'm sure there will be offers to recruit from guilds... Many users will be curious about my Hidden Classes. ’
And another reason was for self-reflection that had become too absurdly easy to lose.
‘Whew, I got so caught up in the opponent's face. ’
Obviously, Lim Long was strong.
The fact that the assassin and summoner were not in good standing and did not cope with hidden-class skills that Ian did not know at all was certainly a great opponent.
The hidden-class using shadow-based skills also felt like a high-tier class that was definitely not demoted compared to Ian's hidden-class.
‘But even so, it wasn't unstoppable. I don't even know the opponent that well... I should have learned the attack pattern by taking some time instead of getting hit... ’
In a way, Ian was reversed by the fast-forward way he used against Ximenez.
Without even gaining time to get used to Lim Long's attack patterns and styles.
‘So far you've been so dependent on summoners…. ’
Ian's fighting style was actually quite natural as a summoner.
Moreover, since it was a ‘Taming Master’ class that was more specialized in Taming than a normal summoner, there was no choice but to have a greater dependence on summoning.
This had great strengths in Player vs Environment (PvE) combat, but had to be a fatal weakness in Player vs Player (PvP) combat.
“Hmmm... ”
It was a shame he couldn't win, but Ian quickly broke it off.
It was not Ian's style to incorporate defeat in the end.
‘You can win next time. ’
Ian burns more determination.
The time it took to prepare the Lucky League for a few days was unfortunate, but the higher the level, the more important the new leagues were.
“Let's go dig through the items? ”
After clearing his mind, Ian opened his inventory to see the semi-winning prize.
Ian was rewarded with two things:
A hero grade equipment box with a total reputation of 80,000 and a summoner level of 50.
A semi-winning equipment chest is said to randomly display a Hero grade accessory and a weapon.
Ian took the equipment box out of his inventory, where there were few people.
“I'm most excited when this thing opens. ”
The excitement of seeing such a random reward was separate from the regret of not winning.
“What should I start with...? Weapon Box or Accessory Box? ”
Ian, who was having happy thoughts, decided to open the jewelry box first.
Except for the hair ornament from the Dungeon of Chaos, it was time to change all the equipment, but the part I wanted to change the most was the accessory.
Ian puts his hand on the jewelry box.
“Open!”
As the blue light came out, the box was wide open.
Then a system message appeared before Ian's eyes.
[You obtained the item 'Shining Summoner's Determination’.]
And the information on the obtained items is shown.
---------------------------------------

A luxurious ring awarded to a summoner at the Arena.
---------------------------------------
“Oh, that's nice. ”
After checking the item's info window, Ian nods, smiling satisfactorily.
Even the ability to rise as an option was extremely obedient, but I particularly liked the unique option of restoring the spiritual power.
“Good thing I didn't have enough spirit magic to use current growth. ”
Because it had a 50-level limit, there was a job special stat attached to it at level 50.
“Then why are these accounts tied together for nothing? ”
However, I did not like the option to attribute the account to the ring I got this time.
This ring was not a consistently useful quality item, unlike hair ornaments.
If you level up and get a better ring, you'll have to sell it at the Auction House. It was a pity that you couldn't sell any of the bound items in your account.
Even if I sold these items later, I was sure I could get them for a high price.
“Let's open the weapons chest this time...? ”
Ian is wearing a knuckle, the Ancient Summoner's Steel Knuckle, which is still a very useful weapon at level 50.
Especially because of the unique ability of 'sensitivity’, I did not intend to replace it unless I got a new weapon.
“Open!”
And just like before, the box opened wide as a blue light came out.
[You obtained the item 'Shining Summoner's Longbow.']
“Oh! Bow! Bow!!"
Once the bow came out, Ian began to read the information on the equipment.

A high-quality longbow awarded to a summoner at the Arena.
---------------------------------------
“Phew…. ”
Ian, who had read all the item information, was troubled.
Because there are better items out there than I thought.
‘If you change your weapons, you won't be able to use your sensitivity skills. ’
In addition to sensitivity, the critical damage and leadership options of all summoners attached to the knuckle will disappear.
However, the options attached to the bow were not good enough for me to judge.
‘But I still find the option to reduce cooldown on Spirit Magic Power too attractive...! ’
The weapon itself has a higher attack power than the knuckles, but the weapon's attack power is no bigger to Ian than it was before.
A greater influence on Ian's attack than his weapon's attack is now a ‘summoning' stat that directly affects skill damage.
And after a moment of deliberation, Ian concludes.
“Until we change our weapons with bows and get another weapon with 'sensitive’ options, we'll just have to keep it. ”
Ian made this decision for no other reason.
I liked the option of the bow a little better now, but it was because I might have to use a weapon with sensitivity options if Ian's summons were to acquire an incredibly powerful summon unique skill.
Ian made a decision in his mind to un-nuckle it, put it into his inventory, and put on a longbow.
“Now that you've hunted, how many minutes will you wait for your training skills to be reused? ”
In fact, there was a decisive reason why Ian decided to use the bow.
What Ian thought was most important was the summoners' ‘potential’ 'stats.
And the option to bring back the cooldown of the ‘training' skills impacting it was attached to the bow.
‘In retrospect, shall we check Rye's potential? ’
Ian has been using his training skills on Rye ever since he gave many of them the 'Giant Shell' skill.
Thanks to this, your Training Skills have reached Intermediate 8 levels and Rai's potential has reached over 50.
“Good.”
Ian smiled satisfactorily.
Now that I can quickly turn back my training skills, Rye's potential should be able to instantly generate 100.
“Now that I have a good summoner, I can raise him right. ”
In fact, in order to leverage Ian's analyzed potential stats to the highest efficiency, he had to level up the summons only when the potential reached 100.
The higher the potential, the higher the stat increase per level.
However, Ian continued to level up no matter how much potential the summoner had, because the absolute level was getting stronger faster than worrying about each stat width rising every time he reached level 1.
“Now that you're over 300 in affinity, I want you to catch an individual with an evolvable option at your hero level. ”
Even the rare grade monsters that were distracted by their high affinity could now be caught easily.
I haven't caught the only monster except a lot, but I felt like it could be more than that.
‘Huhu... Ry, who started in the general class, is this strong, but would it be great if he only captured and evolved the rank of a hero? ’
Imagine being happy just thinking about it!
‘If you acquire Evolvable Monsters at Hero Rank and raise them to full 100 Level 1... ’
I thought if I did, I could raise him to be a great man.
“Tsk tsk. ”
Ian once turned his cheeks around, tidying up the items, and then began to move on.
“But first we have to level up until the end of the vacation. ”
I wasted more than a week on the Arena again.
In Ian's head, a bet with Professor Lee Jin-wook suddenly passed.
‘That's right... Level 93... I have to make it before the holidays are over...! ’
Ian counted the dates inside.
‘We have a month and 10 days left to get to class. And you can forget about the first week of the class change... Professor Lee Jin-wook's first class was Thursday.... ’
Ian's head began to spin more fiercely than ever before.
At the end of the calculation, the remaining time was about 50 days.
“We're fucked!! ”
Even if Ian thinks about it, it's almost impossible!
You have to get closer to level 1 each day to create a level that is only close to you.
I thought it would be possible to level up 2-3 levels a day right now, but I knew that if I went above 70 levels, my EXP wouldn't go up like hell.
“Ugh, this is not the time!! Hunt! Let's go hunting!! ”
Ian steps forward fearlessly.
Leaving the battle shame problem, Ian's game life was at stake.
I never imagined losing.
