chapter 34
Episode 34-Boat and Notebook
“Hey, you’re really good at massage.”
Gahyeon gave her thumbs up and said.
“What is good at massage…”
“No, you’re really good at it. The fact that a weak kid can give such a refreshing massage means that he has the skill.”
“That’s right. He’s so good that I want to appoint him as my exclusive masseuse.”
I saw the kids making faces that were genuinely refreshing and thought about it.
‘Of course I can’t help but feel refreshed.’
It’s basically a state where your physical abilities are slightly elevated, that is, 5 to 10%.
“hehehe…”
In the meantime, Jisoo suddenly smiled broadly with a hihi, as if he was delusional.
It was obvious without looking at it. Maybe he laughed at the delusion of getting a proper massage from me.
“Can I ask you a favor later?”
‘Look at that.’
“No, it’s not that I’m full of strength.”
“Hey…”
We waited for the wave in the operation area, leaving the drooping Jisoo behind.
The atmosphere was definitely more relaxed than before, but that didn’t mean the tension was completely gone.
I could see Park Su-hyeon smiling satisfied and nodding his head slowly, as he maintained enough tension to fight at any time.
“Whoa…”
The atmosphere that once loosened began to be tied up again as I was nervous and worried about the monster’s appearance.
But there was nothing to worry about.
It’s because I’ve already let go of excessive tension once, and things will happen at the point where the current atmosphere doesn’t change much.
-Beep beep
-The wave has begun. Let each one do his duty where he is assigned.
As soon as the instructor finished speaking, a sense of tension surged to the point of giving goose bumps.
‘Can I live?’
I was the one who eased the tension of Gahyeon and the other kids, but that didn’t mean I wasn’t afraid.
Rather, I was trembling slightly with the thought that I could die at any time because my strength was much weaker than those of the kids who had enough skills to protect themselves.
If my body was as strong as Park Soo-hyun’s, I wouldn’t have to worry about this.
Even if I couldn’t hold a boat or notebook, it wouldn’t have been too much to take care of myself.
“Whoa…”
What relieved my tension was the strength of my colleagues around me.
I couldn’t even find stability on my own with my own strength, but I was confident that with the strength of my colleagues, no matter how serious the situation, they would release me.
‘I shouldn’t be shaking like this.’
And my values also helped me defeat my fears.
My goal is to save mankind from destruction.
Does it make sense that someone with such a goal would only be trembling at the boss in the beginning?
Of course, it makes no sense.
What should I do if I can’t make sense?
I have to change myself.
You may ask how a person can move as he pleases, but I have already lived my whole life like that.
Every time I lost my will, I strengthened my will by reminding myself of my goal one more time.
By intuition of the gap between the goal and reality, I was able to know what to do now.
Every time I asked.
Will you lower your goals? Will change the present
In the beginning, I set a lot of goals, and for more than 10 years, I have been whipping up the present.
‘I can never give up the goal of saving humanity.’
Therefore, we must change the present.
“Whoa…”
The trembling sensation in the body has completely disappeared.
There was no more fear left.
“Coming.”
-Kwajik!
At least until the boats and notes appeared, I had nothing to do.
Normal monsters were no match for our team.
‘Looks like he has no intention of using the power of essence yet.’
Park Soo-hyun saved the power of Jeongsoo as much as possible.
Rather than simply conserving the power of the essence, he hid the overall power he could use as much as possible.
Although Boat and Note are said to be less intelligent than other bosses, they still have enough intelligence to calculate the opponent’s strength.
It must be a tactic to embarrass you by hiding it as much as possible and then blowing it up in one shot.
– Kung!
– Kung!
As I was taking out the monsters one by one, I heard the sound of the ground thumping.
“This sound…”
Everyone had to stiffen at the sound of goosebumps running through their bodies.
[A new ruler of the forest has appeared in front of you]
[Main Quest]
[Take care of boats and notes]
[Lots of EXP, skill opening rights]
-Cheer ah ah ah ah!!!
A tremendous sound echoed nearby.
-Dung-dung-dung-dung!!!
Note, who looked like a gorilla, pounded his chest.
“That guy… Is the boss?”
Seoyeon stiffened and said.
“It’s not him.”
Park Soo-hyun pointed at the shoulder of a note that was over 10 meters tall.
There stood a gorilla boat with a size of about 2m.
“They are bastards.”
-Cheer ah!!!!
[The roar of the boat covers your body. The body stiffens for 10 seconds.]
[The sparkle of the soul protects your body]
[The stun time is reduced to 3 seconds.]
I just rolled my eyes and looked around, and I saw that all the members of the crew except Park Soo-hyun were frozen.
“Ah…”
Despair was visible.
Despair appeared on Seoyeon’s face, on Gahyun’s face, and on Jisoo’s eyes.
Note came frantically towards us.
Park Soo-hyun moved forward as if he was going to block the fast-approaching note alone.
And at that timing, the stiffness that hung over me was relieved.
“Everyone, wake up!”
He shouted with a nasal sound.
You may get a lot of questioning glances later, but if you go then you can just insist that you’ve been beeping.
The members who received the cute charm with a snoring sound were released from the stiffness as their bodies trembled slightly.
[The team members were released from stiffness due to the effect of teasing.]
[All mana has been exhausted.]
My head was spinning.
As she collapsed, I saw Lee Seo-yeon holding me and stepping back in her faint spirit.
“Let’s retreat for now!”
The moment he confirmed that the other members were awake, Park Soo-hyun risked avoiding Note’s attack without blocking it.
“Haa… Haa…”
Because we were sheltered from the trees around us, the note looked around and searched for us as if it hadn’t found us.
“You can’t seem to find us?”
“I’ll probably find out soon.”
Park Soo-hyun surrounded the power of essence with a calm expression.
“A spasticity on us, did you solve it?”
Park Soo-hyun smiled lightly at Ga-hyeon’s words and pointed at me.
“Are you… Hiding your abilities?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to think about how to catch that baby gorilla first?”
When he was suffering from mana anemia, which he had never experienced before, the boat on Nott’s shoulder pointed at us.
-Cooooo!!!
This time, the shout was blocked by the protective film created by Park Soo-hyun.
“I want you to listen to me thoroughly from now on. To catch those monstrous gorillas, we all need to move perfectly under my command.”
Everyone seriously nodded at Park Soo-hyun’s words.
“For now, I need my strength to stick close to me and block the little gorilla’s attack.”
“You’re telling me to follow you closely?”
“No, I’ll give you a signal. Is there a signal we’ve set beforehand? It’ll move exactly like that. And you just have to change a few signals to attack.”
Park Soo-hyun explained all the strategies in a short amount of time.
“And Lee Joo-eun, you are waiting here.”
“Wait, you’re leaving Joo-eun here alone? Isn’t that too dangerous?”
“If you move with Lee Joo-eun, not only Lee Ju-eun is in danger, but all of us are in danger. Lee Joo-eun has already done her part enough just to relieve your stiffness.”
“Anyway…”
Before Jisoo could finish his words, Park Soohyun gave a strong blow.
“I think you’re misunderstanding something, but I’m not trying to abandon Lee Joo-eun. Our role is to draw all the aggro on us as much as possible so that no threat comes to Lee Joo-eun.”
The other kids couldn’t open their mouths at Park Soo-hyun’s serious expression.
“If you have time to talk, get up and catch that monster gorilla.”
“But can we catch him?”
“Of course I can catch it. It’s you guys.”
As for the last motivation, I thought it would be better if I did it than Park Soo-hyun did, so I silently told them, and I could see the kids’ faces brighten up a lot.
After that, things went smoothly.
Park Soo-hyun’s conducting was absolutely perfect.
He was able to block the boat’s roar with perfect timing, and everyone hit the notes at the right timing, causing damage.
The two gorillas were very strong, but they couldn’t overcome Park Soo-hyun’s party, who perfectly grasped each other’s patterns.
Soon the note fell.
Phase 2 has started, but I don’t think they will catch the boat.
Because I’ve still saved enough power.
-f*ck!
At that moment, something flew into my neck and I tumbled to the side.
