The Master’s Way of Leisure
However, there was no change in Canales’ expression.
As if she had expected it to some extent, she answered with a serene face.
“Didn’t I say that earlier? That you are the child who inherited my power.”
“…What does that mean exactly?”
“Since I am also bound by the system, I cannot tell you much. However…”
After taking a breath, Canales continued speaking. “The beings that remain as great legends sometimes pass on their power across generations. Although I didn’t know that trace could transcend dimensions… Nonetheless, you are the owner of that result and a kindred soul of the sacred. If you can accept yourself as you are, you will gain even greater power.”
Her words seemed a bit vague at first glance.
It was similar to when Fluvius was around…
This was because even though they are transcendents, they are bound by the system, and the area and time they can answer is limited.Understanding this, Kang Juyeon nodded.
Since she had been emphasizing this point to me even before coming to the dungeon, she knew it would be difficult to find answers by forcing it.
“Then… Can I ask how to better utilize my power?”
“By all means, if there is time.”
Was this the question she had been waiting for?
For the first time, Canales nodded in satisfaction.
And so, for the remaining time, an intense discussion took place between the dragon and the human.
I was slightly surprised to see Kang Juyeon speak so fluently.
‘…She really talks a lot when it’s about runes.’
Usually, Kang Juyeon is quite shy and barely speaks… But sometimes, she surprises me by talking a lot.
For example, when she becomes the leader and gives instructions to the party, or when she mentions strategy during a hunt, or when she has something to say to me like the previous confession, or when something fun happens on a date, or like yesterday when something special happened in bed…
‘…What am I thinking?’
Since I’m Kang Juyeon’s boyfriend, I’ve been able to see many new sides of her that aren’t just cold.
Anyway, as the conversation continued, time passed…
Before long, the hourglass on the table signaled the end of time.
“Time is up.”
Canales spoke softly with a smile.
“Humans who have earned the qualifications. It was a pleasure to meet you. The conversation we had here in this lonely place was interesting.”
Tak-
She snapped her fingers, and once again a portal appeared in the lair.
Just like with Fluvius, it was the exit from the <Chamber of the Transcendent> as well as the place to obtain the reward for the trial.
“The reward for the trial can be obtained by passing through that door, so feel free to take it.”
“Thank you.”
As I bowed my head, Canales accepted it with a smile.
Then she turned her gaze towards Kang Juyeon.
“You can return here again in a month. To become accustomed to handling my power, you will need to come back a few more times.”
“…Understood.”
“You may call me mother if you wish.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Hahaha. As expected, you express yourself clearly, my child.”
After exchanging such light banter, we finished our farewells and opened the portal to exit the lair.
It was the moment we completed the raid of <Chamber of the Transcendent: Canales>.

Recently, Korean Holders were quite excited.
This was because from last October until the new year now, explosive major incidents occurred one after another, shaking up the previously calm Holder community.
The first was the complete eradication of the <Villain> clan and the great transformation of the academy, along with the emergence of numerous ‘promising students’.
No matter which country in the world, talented Holders receive a lot of attention and expectation from the Holder community, as they will be responsible for that country’s future.
In that sense, it was quite encouraging that many promising students who played a major role in the ‘Villain Eradication Operation’ emerged.
– Academy 2nd year Do Jae-hyun, promoted to A-grade Holder!
– Yoo Eun-seol, the third fastest in Korea after Kang Juyeon…
– Korean Holder Association: ‘The fastest promotion speed within the period’
– Will Do Jae-hyun surpass his master Yoo Eun-seol to become the youngest S-grade?
Especially, the popularity of Do Jae-hyun, the main character, seemed to pierce the sky. At just 21 years old, he was a multi-talented Multi-Holder who grew from an F-grade Holder through sheer effort. It was no wonder he emerged as Korea’s representative promising figure.
All Holders wanted to become close with him, and clans tried to recruit him by any means.
– Song Hyun-a’s method of acquiring the [Sword] rune was correct!
– Already the 11th rune acquirer born. Revolution of repetitive actions.
– The greatest efficiency for acquiring [Sword] is the archer class…
And the second thing that shook the Holder community was Song Hyun-a’s ‘method of acquiring the [Sword] rune’.
This was an incident that surprised not just Korea, but the entire world.
Although the method was limited to Holders, the fact that Holders of different classes could acquire a single rune through repetitive actions was a revolution that overturned the ‘common sense of talent’ that had spread through the Holder community until now.
Many Holders newly acquired the [Sword] rune, and along with that, attention was poured onto Song Hyun-a who discovered this.
The daughter of the renowned Song martial arts family and younger sister of S-grade Holder Song Do-hyuk. She had just turned 20 this year and was a prospective Holder scheduled to enter the academy.
With her good family and reputation, she made this groundbreaking discovery in the Holder community. Following top-tier Holders like Do Jae-hyun and Kang Juyeon, she was evaluated as another promising figure.
And…
– S-grade Holder Yoo Eun-seol succeeds in raiding a dual dungeon and reveals information.
– A newly emerged concept in dungeon raids, what is the <Chamber of the Transcendent>?
– The Korean Holder Association officially posts related information on their website!
– What are the rewards for clearing the <Chamber of the Transcendent>? Holders’ interest explodes…
Another piece of information that made Holders’ hearts race was revealed.
The <Chamber of the Transcendent>.
An advanced dual dungeon composed of various special conditions and the highest difficulty level.
A dungeon that had never been revealed to the Holder community until now, and a new concept that would bring fresh wind to the stagnant dungeon raid market.
Yoo Eun-seol raided this dungeon with Do Jae-hyun as soon as January started, but the information reveal was delayed until now, quite some time later.
There were two reasons for this.
One was that it took time to organize the complex and new information.
And the other was that if revealed, it would cause huge repercussions in the Holder community.
They minimized the shock and maximized the effectiveness of information delivery.
After much deliberation on these aspects, there was a delay, and the reaction was explosive as expected.
“…So you mean that if it wasn’t for Holder Do Jae-hyun, your disciple, the raid of that dungeon would have been difficult?”
“Yes. In fact, he was the center of the raid. He grasped the situation after facing the transcendent being much faster than me.”
Yoo Eun-seol answered the question plainly.
She was currently being interviewed by the newspaper company <Rune Journal>.
<Rune Journal> was a newspaper that focused extensively on the worlds of Holders and monsters, boasting the most credible authority in delivering related information.
The topic of this interview was naturally the <Chamber of the Transcendent>.
Following major incidents like the ‘Villain Eradication Operation’, the emergence of various domestic promising figures including Do Jae-hyun, and Song Hyun-a’s revelation of the [Sword] rune, this was another topic raised by Yoo Eun-seol.
“That’s really an amazing achievement.”
The reporter who had been calmly conducting the interview suddenly expressed admiration.
In fact, until this interview, it was only known that this achievement was a collaboration between Yoo Eun-seol and the Holder Association alone.
The association first released the information, and put forward S-grade Holder Yoo Eun-seol as the source.
However, after hearing her story, it turned out that Do Jae-hyun played a huge role.
He had a major influence on the raid itself, and played a key part in discovering the concept of the <Chamber of the Transcendent>.
A collaborative effort between Yoo Eun-seol and Do Jae-hyun.
That was what this achievement should be called after the interview.
“Yes, he is a skilled Holder.”
To this, Yoo Eun-seol replied with a slight smile.
He was none other than her own disciple.
The fact that her disciple actually made a big achievement and led the raid.
There was no need to hide this.
“Then let me change the direction of my questions. Holder Yoo Eun-seol…”
…
…
Tick- Tick-
Ring ring-
After the long interview ended.
Yoo Eun-seol returned alone to her home.
Tak-
She entered her room and sat in front of the desk where her computer was.
To end the tiring day.
If it were ordinary Holders, they might lie down on the bed or go take a shower in the bathroom…
But Yoo Eun-seol was different.
For her, sitting at the desk and turning on the computer was part of her daily routine to end the day.
Click-
She moved the mouse and habitually opened a portal.
“Hmm…it’s up.”
The first thing she checked was today’s interview.
True to being a medium that delivers information quickly and accurately, <Rune Journal> had already edited and posted the interview from today.
She slowly read through the interview to check the contents.
And then…
She started ‘scrapping’ related articles.
It was an unexpectedly humble action for a Holder who held the overwhelming position of an S-grade Holder domestically.
Click-
Her mouse moved again, and the screen pointed to a new site.
<Do Jae-hyun Official Fan Cafe (Rune Holder Fan Cafe)>
“…Hmm, hmm.”
Yoo Eun-seol let out some awkward coughs and looked around.
Of course, there was no one in her studio apartment.
She nonchalantly turned her head back.
Then she went into the writing section and posted the articles she had scrapped earlier.
With a suitable title and content.
Her user ID rank shone in golden letters…
[Premium Member]
“…As expected of my disciple.”
After completing her daily quota like this.
Yoo Eun-seol read other articles with a satisfied expression.
Viewing her disciple’s achievements or directly finding and informing many others about them.
Embarrassingly enough…
This was Yoo Eun-seol’s very important way of spending her leisure time to end the day.
