As Hee-Joon made his way through the classroom, he noticed that some of the seats had already been occupied. Hyun-Soo had secured a seat in a distant corner.
Looking around, he observed that around 30 to 40 individuals had gathered, all with the same ambition of pursuing a career as raiders. It appeared that many of his fellow students had chosen to opt for safer roles like Porter or other departments, possibly due to the risks associated with raiding.
As Hee-Joon settled into his desk, engrossed in the anticipation of the upcoming training, a familiar notification popped up on his interface. The sudden sound of an AI voice echoed in his mind, catching his attention.
"Hee-Joon," the voice began, drawing his focus to the system notification that materialized before him.
---------------------------------------

Rewards for Successful Completion:
1. Level up all your stats by 5 points each.
2. Attain one direct level up.

----------------------------------------
As Hee-Joon absorbed the contents of the pop-up notification, a surge of excitement coursed through his veins. This was his second quest, joining the ranks of his ongoing task that still lingered at 30% completion.
The prospect of venturing into a genuine dungeon and immersing himself in its depths ignited a glimmer of hope that his progress would soon be rewarded.
With the unveiling of this new mission, not only did he have the opportunity to level up his abilities, but the allure of a mystery reward beckoned him onward. The tantalizing prospect of unlocking new powers and uncovering hidden treasures fueled his determination.
As Hee-joon's mind wandered into the world of the newly assigned mission, he became oblivious to his surroundings. Unbeknownst to him, one of the faculty members had approached his desk and observed his deep contemplation for quite some time.
The sudden realization of someone standing in front of him jolted him out of his thoughts, causing a burst of laughter to erupt from his classmates. Embarrassed by the unexpected attention, Hee-joon felt a blush creep up his cheeks.
The faculty member, a woman named Park Ji-hye, introduced herself to the class as a skilled D-Rank raider with a specialization in magic. Her confident demeanor and extensive knowledge in the field commanded respect.
Hee-joon's curiosity was piqued as he listened to her description of the upcoming lessons on magic usage in the dungeons. He couldn't help but admire her expertise and the potential for learning from someone with practical experience.
As he watched his status window, for new changes based on the recent quests, hoping to get direct level up and its extra rewards tempted him nonetheless.
As he was getting leveled up, he was far from becoming strong, since even though he had awakened, he was very weak in fighting because he was uncertain regarding his awakening.
Most awakeners start learning their power, soon after they get awakened, as if they had received some kind of revelation during the awakening. But here Hee-Joon had received a system that did not clarify his power.

Instructor Park Ji-hye stood before the class, her voice commanding attention. "I'll be your primary instructor," she announced. "During combat training, you'll learn from experienced specialists. But for now, we'll delve into dungeon knowledge."
Instructor Park Ji-hye's words resonated with the class as she delved into the significance of dungeons. As she continued, one student couldn't contain their curiosity any longer and raised their hand.
"Yes, go ahead," Instructor Park Ji-hye encouraged.
The student wondered aloud, "What makes dungeons so unpredictable? Are there any specific dangers we should be aware of?"
The room fell silent, anticipation hanging in the air. Instructor Park Ji-hye smiled, appreciating the student's inquiry.
"Excellent question," she replied.
"Dungeons are unpredictable due to their ever-changing layouts and the variety of monsters they house," she replied.
"The terrain can be treacherous, and each monster possesses unique abilities and behaviors. It's crucial to be adaptable and prepared for the unexpected." The instructor then continued to explain further.
In these enigmatic realms," Instructor Park Ji-hye continued, "lie mysteries waiting to be unraveled. They are home to a vast array of creatures, both fearsome and extraordinary, guarding precious treasures and resources."
The students nodded, their fascination growing. One student couldn't help but speak up.
"How are dungeons categorized?" they asked, curiosity burning in their eyes.
Instructor Park Ji-hye smiled, pleased with the engagement.
"Dungeons are ranked from F to S, each level indicating the mana output and the strength of the monsters within."
She proceeded to explain the significance of these rankings, highlighting the challenges and rewards associated with each tier.
As Instructor Park Ji-hye delved into the realm of scientific research and emerging theories, the classroom was captivated by her words. She painted a vivid picture of the intricate process by which monsters within the dungeons evolved and reshaped the very fabric of their surroundings.
"Recent scientific studies have shed light on the mysterious growth of dungeon-dwelling monsters," Instructor Park Ji-hye began
"At the core of their existence lies a delicate mana crystal, initially feeble and brimming with untapped potential." The instructor then continued further.
"As these creatures venture into the depths of the dungeon, engaging in relentless hunts and battles, their mana crystals undergo a transformative journey." she continued.
The students leaned forward, their curiosity piqued. They yearned to unravel the secrets hidden within the enigmatic world of dungeons and monsters.
"Through the consumption of mana stones and clashes with raiders, monsters begin their ascent towards power," she continued.
"Step by step, they progress from low-level adversaries, honing their skills and sharpening their instincts." she continued.
"With each conquest and triumph, they ascend the ladder of strength, reaching mid-level status, and eventually, through formidable determination, they can rival even the mightiest of beings within the dungeon." After revealing such details, everyone got stunned.
