Ryu Seo-yeon quickly found out whether he was grasping the positions of each weapon even in the dark inside. After he authenticated again, he opened the locker and handed me the sword, which was stacked in black cloth.
ugh Accepting it, it is heavier than I expected. In order to handle it properly, I think I need to raise my strength stats as soon as possible.
“You don’t know how to handle it, so why did you choose this?”
“Oh, I know.”
It was a weapon I used often because of the taste.
When you take off the black cloth and take out the sword, you can smell the iron first. There was a metal scabbard, a sword locked in a form hanging from it, and a trigger attached to a mechanical handle.
Information appeared above the sword.
[Engine Blade]
Rank: A++
Conditions: Strength E, Magic E level or higher
[A unique sword crafted by Black Hawk. Pull the trigger to start the engine using mana as fuel.]
*Unlock by pulling the trigger once for first use
*Uses mana as fuel.
-The more the trigger is pulled repeatedly, the more the engine heats up.
– Hold the pulled trigger to ignite the booster.
A sword of low requirements and good performance. It’s not like an artifact excavated from a tower, but a top-notch industrial weapon.
Among the prerequisites, my strength is E-grade, so there is a difference of two steps from me, who is E-, but there are still characteristics, ‘medicine teeth’, and there is a sword master perk, so there will be no problem in dealing with it.
I asked, carrying the leash from the scabbard over my shoulder.
“Ryu Seo-yeon. What you said to me earlier, was that what you said in front of the dormitory last time?”
The day I collapsed with the 39th perk, Ryu Seo-yeon didn’t tell me what had happened in the past. But it must have been something about the Black Hawk…
What else did ‘Seo Ji-han’ say…?’
Like Pavlov’s dog, I was already starting to get anxious.
“I’m curious?”
“Uh… I think I should know.”
“I can’t remember exactly, but it was a nuance like this? Don’t waste your time on aspiring heroes, drop out and take over Black Hawk.”
It’s really varied!
What I’ve heard so far is not wrong. I was at a level where I couldn’t stand what I wanted to say because of my dirty personality, but I think this is not the case.
Ryu Seo-yeon looked at my expression and opened her mouth again.
“Do you know why I’m here to tell you this?”
“… Me, do you want me to reflect?”
Then, Seo-yeon Ryu shook her head in denial.
“No. I thought I was being sarcastic until recently. But I guess that wasn’t the case.”
what are you talking about Ryu Seo-yeon said, pointing to the Assault Wolf in my holster.
“Did Aiden give you that?”
“How do you…, ah.”
remembered now I told you last time that Aiden got help from Blackhawk’s heir. I even thought that I knew it well… but I think that’s what Ryu Seo-yeon saved me.
“I don’t know how you found out, but Mr. Aiden said you had put it in your shopping cart to buy an Assault Wolf.”
“···right.”
In the end I deleted it though.
“But what does that matter?”
“Hmmmm…. It’s manly, but you must have forgotten, so I’m saying it again. Assault Wolf, that gun.”
Ryu Seo-yeon said, avoiding her gaze as if she was bewildered.
“I designed it.”
‘Fixed Events’.
It was a set scenario that could not be changed by any means. Because there was no action related to it in the route that Noah Park moved.
‘…but it’s not me.’
The first thing I asked for was ‘my own ending’.
I thought it would be okay if I simply help Noah Park and finish the scenario in a ‘good manner’ direction, but I didn’t think I could twist the result of a fixed event.
‘I have no idea what brought me here…’
I wonder if one of the things he wants from me is to change this destined fate.
First of all, there is a high possibility that Ryu Seo-yeon died during the ‘Necromancer Attack’ event. Even A-class aspiring heroes are kidnapped and killed, and the ‘Successor of the Black Hawk’, who even has managerial qualifications, cannot be left alone.
After that, the Black Hawk, who has lost his successor, has a battle with the tower from which the wizards came, but is ultimately defeated and destroyed. He thought it was simply a check on the tower, but in this case, the two sides are correct.
Ryu Seo-yeon has a talent for developing weapons that is enough to design an Assault Wolf at her age. Unlike other munitions industries, Black Hawk’s firearms are of high quality.
Did ‘Seo Ji-han’ mean not to spoil your talents?’
He was usually a talker, so maybe he was speaking frankly in his own way. Well, it’s wrong to say that people can’t talk about it, but it’s because a guy who didn’t even care about other people’s affairs was messing around.
So, Seo-yeon Ryu also let me know again that she was the ‘successor of Black Hawk’.
‘···Then, if you stop Ryu Seo-yeon from dying.’
This means that the development of firearms in the latter scenario, and the possibility of preventing the destruction of the Black Hawk, arises.
The thought that Ryu Seo-yeon might have been among the corpses I saw made me a little uncomfortable.
‘I have something to do.’
During the Necromancer’s attack, he helps Park Noah and protects Ryu Seo-yeon.
After thinking about it, I got up and looked around. Today, I was at the swordsmanship training ground, not the shooting training ground. They were large enough to freely swing their swords without being disturbed by each other.
‘Then let’s do it.’
I touched the engine blades around my waist with a new belt. Cold metal feels cool. I grabbed the handle and pulled the trigger.
shudder! The engine blades were unlocked as the underside of the scabbard was removed. It has a structure that allows it to be fired quickly while swinging it instead of pulling it out while drawing it.
When I picked up the sword and pulled the trigger again, the engine sounded from the mechanical handle, and the booster mounted on the blade ignited. Whoo! Accelerated by that power, he quickly swung his sword in a straight trajectory.
The more the trigger is pulled, the more the engine overheats and the power of the booster becomes stronger.
‘The mana is also very fast.’
For me, who has a level C level of magic ability, I don’t feel burdened if it’s at this level. Mana consumption is much less than when using magic.
“Good.”
At that time, I remembered the privilege of having Lian Arwell near me. Wearing the lead sword and looking around him, he saw Arwell squatting in the corner of the training ground. Noah Park was nowhere to be seen.
‘Where did Noah Park go?’
I walked over to Arwell to say hello. But the closer I got, the more strange it felt.
For some reason, there were scratches on Arwell’s cheeks, and the training clothes were dirty everywhere as if he had been rolling badly.
As I approached and the shadow fell, Arwell was startled and startled, then looked up at me and his eyes widened.
“Arwell, right?”
“Seo Ji-han, it’s been a while…!”
Arwell got up from his seat with a smile. At the same time, I glanced at Arwell from top to bottom.
‘···After all, it is not rolled.’
Shoe sole marks or signs of bullying remain on the pants. Arwell noticed my gaze, his face reddened and he bowed his head.
“He fell badly and his clothes got a little dirty…”
“Where is the person named Noah Park?”
“Oh, you’ll be here soon. When you come, I’ll introduce you.”
What did that guy do that left Arwell until this happened? While I was waiting for Noah Park with Arwell, I heard familiar voices from somewhere.
“So—.”
“Ahahaha! Really?”
They are the extras of Class A who have no importance, but whose names are clearly remembered. If I had a battle tutorial against Jae-Yoo Hong, the game was conducted against those three.
The name of the person caught was Gide, the guy with his hair next to him was Isu, and the blonde behind him was Cain.
We always met each time we had tea, so I definitely remember what we looked like. However, as if she had been in an accident, Ged’s nose was fixed with gauze, unlike usual, and there were scratches as if it had been ripped from her wall.
Has Noah Park already used her hand? Well… they’re of poor quality, so there’s nothing good about being noticed. I told Arwell.
“Don’t be here, stay with me until someone named Park Noah comes—”
I closed my mouth. Arwell was terrified and trembling without looking back. Hearing their voices and this reaction. …the situation was understood.
“Wow, parachute!”
At that, Arwell looked back in surprise. The three of them were approaching this way as if they had found Arwell.
“Where is your master and are you alone?”
“Ah, that.”
“Who are you. Friends?”
Gid pointed at me and pointed. And when he saw my name written on the uniform, he called out to Isu.
“Hey! He’s Seo Ji-han? Is that the highest performing official?”
“That B-class?”
…and gently scratch the inside like this. I always had to listen to these conversations after every episode, so I purposely clenched my fists for a long time to relieve stress later on.
I glanced to the side, and Arwell was restless with an apologetic expression on me. I’m sorry. He was full of anticipation when he saw him in the hospital. It seems that the attention I gave was meaningless.
Arwell’s mood also affects Park Noah’s disposition. So it was necessary to reassure Arwell.
Gid tapped my chest with his finger and touched it.
“My best friend’s performance has been buried because of a close friend. What should I do?”
As in the tutorial, Gide argues first. I asked, looking at Gide’s nose.
“…Me, my friend. What’s wrong with your nose?”
“Can’t you see? It’s broken—”
Oh yeah.
soo much As his fist touched his nose, he felt something crushing vibration.
“Keep!”
Gid grabbed my nose and fell backwards, and I shook my hand. My fist hurts because of the high durability. I said looking down at Gide.
“Yeah. It’s broken.”
“You crazy bastard!”
Then the blonde Cain comes running. As a combat tutorial, their patterns are very simple. If I let it go anyway, Noah Park would have taken care of it, but I don’t want to sit still with these bastards as long as there is an argument.
Above all, these guys were the first green borders I’ve ever seen.
Cain raised his right fist, as always. She hurt me when I hit her with her fist earlier. Can you think of him as a match for her endurance ability?
‘Then don’t hit…’
Let’s take it easy I dodged Cain’s fists and put my palms on his chest.
Mana pulsing in the form of thorns flowed through Cain’s body. Unlike Hong Jae-Yoo, he poured mana at random without taking care of her hands.
“Ughhh–!”
Cain couldn’t even speak properly, even screaming, and collapsed with a thumping sound behind him. There is only one Isu left. The moment he spit out swear words and tried to run at me, I suddenly felt a sense of heat.
Me and Isu felt the strangeness and looked at the place where the heat was felt. There stood Noah Park, who was staring at him.
“…what are you guys?”
In Noah Park’s hand, there was a bag of ointments or bandages for treatment. Arwell is a weapon man, so healing using divine power didn’t work, so it seems he bought those things. And on empty hands.
‘…is holding a fireball.’
When Noah Park appeared, Lee Soo hurriedly raised the other two men to their feet.
“Fuck, let this go!”
Gide turned away from Isu’s support and looked at me and Park Noah, and then ran out of the training ground. The other two extras quickly followed after Gid.
Noah Park came straight to me. …the atmosphere is strange.
“What are you? Is this the first time I’ve seen you?”
Noah Park grabbed me by the neck in the first scene and looked at me. It was so strong that it was lifted up to the heel of my heel with the pulling force.
Just then, Arwell intervened between me and Noah Park, waving his hands and shouting.
“Noah Park! This is the person who helped me. He was the one I mentioned when I went to the hospital!”
Upon hearing that, Noah Park looked at me, looked down at her hand holding the collar, and hurriedly released it and stepped back.
The cool look from earlier disappeared in an instant, and her face was red up to her ears.
“Uh, me, that…”
While embarrassed Park Noah was arguing, I suddenly felt empty. When I raised my hand and touched the area where the collar was caught, part of the cloth area was lost…
I looked at the torn pieces of clothes in Noah Park’s hands and said.
“It’s expensive.”
Gide ran out of the training ground and smashed the tree next to him. It’s crazy! It was crushed, leaving traces of the fist on the pillar.
Gid exhaled harshly with red, bloodshot eyes.
“Fuck…, fuck. This guy and that guy, are you making fun of me?”
“—Ah. If you do that, the tree will hurt.”
As Gid looked around, someone walked out of the woods. It was someone wearing the uniform of Yoosung Academy. Gide stared at him in anger.
“What are you doing, you bastard interrupting?”
“Wait! You can’t talk nonsense to seniors.”
“senior······?”
Obviously, as he said, his face was not reflected in the shadows, but his tie was blue, the color of an upper grader.
“…a senior and Nabal, don’t you care?”
“Uhm. I’m sorry if you feel bad. I’m a bit far away.”
swish! The senior threw something at Gide.
What fell at Zed’s feet was a stone that glowed red by itself. It was ‘Kaeseong-seok’.
Gide picked it up and looked at the senior with suspicious eyes.
“Gaeseongseok? Why are you giving this to me?”
“I’ve seen it all before. I’m Arwell, and I don’t like Park Noah, so I can relate. If you use it, you will be relieved.”
“···Ha. You’re a jerk. If you want to do something, don’t overdo it, do it yourself.”
Gide raised his hand holding Gaeseong Stone to throw it back at the senior. And I felt a sense of discomfort along with the pain.
“・・・・・・Ugh!”
I hurriedly opened my hand and saw that Kaesong-seok was eating the flesh and digging through the gap. In an instant, his hands swelled up and his flesh began to move and swallow the Kaesong Stone.
“You, me, what, what…! Cuckoo!”
Gide fell on his face, vomiting blood. The blood, which was pouring out like a liquid at first, quickly became viscous and came out sticky.
The senior watched with interest the process of Gide’s transformation into something, and heard voices approaching this way.
“Ged, where did that bastard run?”
“Probably about this…”
Hearing that voice, he raised his lips.
Luckily, there were two more samples.
“Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!”
Every time Noah Park apologized, she bowed to the end and could not hide her regret. Her long black hair covered her face, so she could see how violently she was moving.
At this point, I’m about to die. I could feel the eyes gathering around me.
“It’s okay to apologize, if you pay me back for clothes…, huh?”
“I’m sorry–!!!”
[Special. 61 – The effect of ‘Mine Hunter’ is activated.]
Suddenly, a new perk appeared before my eyes.
