69 – Grave of Class D Hero (4)

Today is the long-awaited practice day.

Chaewon looked at the gate, which pulled out a magnificent figure with a tense look.

“Everybody ate a good breakfast, right? Don’t be too nervous and just do it like you normally do in training.”

-Yeah… .

The children, including Chaewon, responded in weak voices.

Sebring studied the faces of those children one by one and continued with a smile.

“I will pick the order at random. The person whose name is called should enter the gate first.”

Chaewon clenched her fists.

‘I should boast to my brother by getting a perfect score this time.’

In every practice, it was Chaewon who received only slightly above average grades.

Chaewon thought that since she had worked hard for practice, she would definitely be able to achieve good grades today.

“Han Chae-won.”

“Yeah?!”

Chaewon was startled by the sudden name being called.

“It’s first order.”

“Ah yes!”

Chaewon stood in front of the gate with a trembling face.

“Who will be my partner?”

‘I wish I could become Shia!’

It was a tense moment.

The important thing in the practice is that my own skills are also skills, but it was the sum of my teammates.

It was when Sebring took the paper out of the plastic box.

“I go first.”

Shion suddenly intruded and went into the gate.

“Ooh, Zion!”

Sebring called out his name as if he was embarrassed, but he had already left.

“… It’s against fairness, but it can’t be helped. Chaewon, you go in too.”

“Yes Yes.”

Chaewon entered the gate with a puzzled face.

**

As I entered the gate, I saw the entrance to the castle built of stone.

There are tree trunks running around the walls, and it was a visual that would not be strange even if a ghost appeared.

-gulp.

Chaewon swallowed dryly.

“What are you doing. Aren’t you going?”

“Yes? I am coming.”

Chaewon quickly approached Shion. They stood in front of the great gates.

After a while.

-Koo-gu-gu-gung!

As soon as I stood in front of the door, the gate opened automatically as if I had waited.

The thick smoke made them cough, but the two entered the gate without hesitation.

Chaewon felt an overwhelming atmosphere and was a little frightened.

However, she tried to pretend to be dignified and pointed out Zion’s mistake that had just occurred.

“From now on, no matter what happens, you must follow the rules.”

“why?”

“Otherwise you are a bad person.”

For some reason, Chaewon wanted to take care of Shion.

A slender body and a height smaller than her own.

Do you feel like a brother?

– Nod.

Shion nodded.

‘cute.’

-Click!

A sound came from beneath Chaewon’s feet.

when you look at the floor The floor is already pressed.

Soon after, at the wall on the left! A voice was heard.

“It’s a trap! be careful!”

Chaewon shouted and quickly rolled forward.

“Ugh!”

As I rolled, the floor dust clung to my whole body.

When I came to my senses and looked up, Shion was staring at Chaewon.

“?”

Chaewon looked around with puzzled eyes.

It was strange. Nothing happened.

Apparently, I heard the sound of a trap flying!

“Oh, did anything happen?”

“yes.”

“lie! See the crossbow over there to the left?”

A crossbow was visible on the wall, revealing itself after stepping on a trap.

“Function failure.”

“… No way! What are these arrows on the floor?”

Even if you can’t do it, there are hundreds of arrows!

“I don’t know.”

Shion shrugged.

‘Suspicious… ?’

It was time to stand up slowly with a suspicious face.

“there.”

Suddenly, Shion pointed forward with his finger.

Turning around, I saw a knight wearing white armor.

He heard the commotion just now.

“Kyo, it’s the monster the professor said! A knight in white armor!”

Chaewon said in a trembling voice.

It was one of the elite monsters that Sebring emphasized to be careful of.

The knight, holding a large longsword, quickly ran toward Chaewon.

“We must work together! I’ll hold on to it, so Shion blows the follow-up. got it?”

Zion has no answer.

It seemed that he was frightened.

Chaewon clenched her teeth as if she couldn’t help it.

-Giying!

I gripped the mace tightly.

‘I can’t get rid of it all at once… .’

According to Sebring, the knight in the white armor was a monster with high defense.

Calmly land multiple effective hits without getting hit!

This was Chaewon’s operation.

The article came right in front of you!

Chaewon hit the mace with all her might.

– Big!

The knight was desperate and knelt down.

“?”

Chaewon looked at her mace with bewildered eyes.

“This isn’t a monster that can be defeated so easily… ?”

Chaewon turned around and checked Shion.

However, it was the same attitude as before.

“Shi, Shion, did you just help me?”

– Dori Dori.

“Maybe me.”

Chaewon looked at her two dainty hands with trembling eyes.

And suddenly, his eyes lit up as he stared into the void.

“Maybe strong… ?”

**

“A crossroads?”

Chaewon frowned.

Shion was still watching in a daze.

“Well… What. weird.”

Chaewon looked at the map carefully.

However, there was no indication that there was a fork in the road.

“Oryunga?”

“kailyard.”

Then, Shion tapped Chaewon’s shoulder.

“yes?”

“We go one by one.”

Shion nodded toward the aisle.

“One by one?”

“I heard that practice and time are important. This is effective.”

Chaewon listened to Shion’s words and nodded after contemplating. Zion was right. There are many important things in the academy’s practice, but the most important of them was the clear time.

“great. Then I’m right… uh? Zion!”

Shion had already walked away to the right.

Chaewon sighed and had no choice but to turn left.

**

“… I’m scared! I’ll just ask you to go with me.”

Chaewon regrets it in exactly 3 minutes!

The passage that could not see even an inch ahead aroused instinctive fear.

Chaewon slowly moved forward, looking around with trembling eyes.

It was then.

– Woe!

I saw a vague human figure, and suddenly, the lights turned on.

I hurriedly looked around, but there were no monsters anywhere.

I look forward safely.

I found an unidentified creature floating in the air.

Chaewon was startled and shuddered.

“ghost?!”

[This guy is not a ghost!]

A ghost in the form of a human was floating around, and the lower body was blurry like smeared watercolor paint.

What is unusual is that the bandage was clumsily wrapped around the head.

“Well, then who are you?”

[I am Bae Chun-gang, the ruler of this tomb and the owner of the dungeon.]

Bae Chun-gang said vigorously.

“What… ? I hadn’t heard of such a thing.”

[Don’t be too upset. Just, you just need to answer.]

“Yeah?”

[Let me introduce myself once again. My name is Baechungang. It is a demon that has stayed in Gucheon for a long time and wanders here.]

It was a pretty embarrassing story. Chaewon looked at Baechungang with fearful eyes.

He cleared his throat a few times and then said.

[You can choose either option.]

Bae Chun-gang’s words echoed in the dungeon.

[If you are afraid, run away. If you run away, I will let you go.]

[But, if you challenge me and beat me… I will give you the most valuable gift.]

Chaewon shuddered in fear, but her eyes lit up when she heard that she was giving her a gift.

“A valuable gift?”

[Hey, that’s stupid. Don’t you know what you want? If so, let me know. Beomjae.]

Chaewon found Bae Chun-gang’s last word, “transgression,” very disturbing, but first, she listened intently to what he was saying.

[What Beomjae wants most. That’s right, ‘talent’. If you risk your life to gain victory from me, I will give you your talent.]

At those sweet words, Chaewon’s pupils trembled.

“That… How do you believe?”

[What?]

“My brother said that! Even if someone you don’t know gives you candy, never follow me!”

The sound was possible because Chaewon was raised very properly.

Bae Chun-gang was taken aback by that innocent cry.

However, he explained it wholeheartedly.

[Then die.]

What a kind explanation!

“… What kind of boss monster is so eccentric?”

Chaewon looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Bae Chun-gang shook his hand.

[Or run away. I’m not kidding. In fact, I don’t want you to challenge yourself. If you were a genius, I would have killed you without hesitation. Just looking at it, he is a criminal, so I hate to kill him out of pity.]

“… Me?”

[yes. A truckload of geniuses dying at my hands. But can you, the criminal genius, beat me? go back If that life is worth it.]

However, Chae-won did something unexpected for Bae Chun-gang.

“Bad ghost! Why do you kill people?”

He pointed his finger at him and criticized him fiercely.

Bae Chun-gang thought. ‘Brother and sister are so damn good in pairs!’

[that’s… … .]

Bae Chun-gang was so annoyed that he was about to shake his hand, but suddenly remembered Seong-hun’s work and broke into a cold sweat.

‘Damn it, that demonic human! What babysitter am I?’

While grumbling inwardly, he dutifully did his job.

[Curious? girl.]

“Oh, I’m not curious.”

[…] … .]

“… … .”

After a moment of silence, Bae Chun-gang ignored Chae-won and spoke. In fact, my mouth was itching to talk!

[I was a bumjae, just like you. It was a parasite attached to the industry like a built-in subject without any talent.]

‘… I’m not like that?’

Chaewon blinked, but kindly didn’t bother to say it out of her mouth for fear of hurting Baechungang.

Bae Chun-gang spoke at length, not knowing that fact.

[I have not been able to live my life as a leading role. They were always extras, and they were terrible. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t beat the born. This floor is like that.]

[It’s terribly cruel.]

[I’ve lived the life of such an extra, so I’ll give you some advice.]

Bae Chun-gang twisted the corners of his mouth. It’s like a bad adult telling the truth to a kid who believes Santa is real.

[Not happy. There is no ideal that you will pursue for the rest of your life. Ultimately, the world belongs to those who have it, and to those who don’t have it, not a penny falls. No matter how hard you try, no matter how hard you struggle, those who have it will only get the toes of what they were born with from the beginning. I hate such people, and after death, they roam this world and end the lives of those who will later be called geniuses.]

Even if the planting was twisted, it was obvious that the greeting was twisted.

Chaewon could not refute his words.

However, I did not have the heart to agree.

“no. i don’t understand you That kind of thing is just the thoughts of a loser, a loser in life.”

[…] Where did you learn that word?]

“… He is my brother.”

Bae Chun-gang took great damage from Chae-won’s blow!

he said timidly.

[Anyway, the words are too harsh.]

“I-I’m sorry about that.”

Chaewon politely bowed her head.

[this guy!]

However, Bae Chun-gang, whose pride was hurt, returned to his original pace. Indeed, it was a tremendous acting ability worthy of a pro boss monster.

[Am I wrong? Then prove it! If you get over it, I’ll admit I was wrong and reward you. Even if it annihilates my soul!]

His words were sincere.

No matter how immature Chaewon is, I knew it at once.

‘… My brother told me not to overdo it.’

I honestly wasn’t sure.

Chaewon is always a cadet.

Except for the tutorial, he was a beginner who had never cleared a dungeon by himself.

But at the same time, Chaewon felt it.

This is an opportunity that will never come again, and I felt like I would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn’t seize it.

Chaewon held her mace all the way to her chest and shouted confidently.

“I will.”

There was a reason she had no choice but to accept this offer.

Chaewon is… …

‘I have to feed my brother. To do that, you must become an S-class hunter!’

Because there was a sense of great mission. How heartbreaking it was to hear Eugene’s story that he still hadn’t received his salary.

Chaewon had to succeed even a day sooner!

[This is a good attitude.]

Bae Chun-gang summoned a spear in his hand with a serious face.

His face was white, but his eyes shone with strength. It was a noble task for him.

[Please, defeat me and kill me.]

-Hung-Hung!

Bae Chun-gang turned the window. It was such a natural act that the resistance of the air was colorless.

Chaewon swallowed dry saliva.

It is different from before.

It wasn’t the lowest-level monsters I’d ever dealt with, or artificial opponents made of holograms.

this was real

It was a boss monster.

-Jerbuck.

Chaewon left footprints on the dungeon floor with her tiny feet, only 230cm tall.

She held the mace tightly and watched Bae Chun-gang’s movements closely.

[Ahhh!]

– Huung!

Then, at the timing of Baechungang’s approach, he swung one step faster.

-Kang!

[100 million!]

“… Eh?”

Accurately hit by the mace, Bae Chun-gang sprawls across the dungeon floor!

“… He talked like he was very loud. Nothing special.”

[…] … .]

And Bae Chun-gang, who pretended to faint out of embarrassment, thought.

‘f*ck, you’re weak! If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have brushed my teeth!’

The original Baechun-gang plan was as follows.

After a great close-up, ‘You lost… Take what you want,’ he said, fighting on the edge! What a beautiful and wonderful death. As a boss monster, she was the best young lady.

There was no such thing.

In fact, even if Bae Chun-gang did it right, it was a three-way cut.

Yes.

… He was caught properly by Seonghun, the extreme Chaewon mom.
