Chapter 666: Over the Wall (2)
‘Indeed.’
“I had to talk to someone for a while because of a training problem that I got from Hee-ra Noona.”
“Well, anyway, is Hyunsung Hyung also busy with training?”
The person who answered Pak Deokgu was Kim Ye-ri.
At that time, she would’ve responded coldly, but it looked like she was trying to appeal that she knew Kim Hyunsung best among them.
“Yes, he’s very busy. He doesn’t even meet people, and I don’t know what he’s doing… He doesn’t even answer much if I contact him.”
‘Oh really? He picks up just fine when I contact him.’
It seemed that only Kim Ye-ri’s attempts to communicate with him weren’t well received.
“I see…”
Park Deokgu seemed seriously worried about something. As he was quick to notice strange behaviors, I wondered if he had noticed the fact that all of the landing operations were bullsh*t.
However, he probably realized that his worries were a breeze compared to mine, considering he immediately continued to speak.
“Oh, Hyung-nim.”
“Huh?”
“Is it okay if I’m given training or something like that?”
“You’re training separately?”
“No, I mean, something like special training. Looking at the rough atmosphere, it seems that everyone who’s been asked to fight for the continent has a role and is preparing for it… I was hoping to get special training under the observation of my Hyung as well… I think it should be done…”
“Well…”
“Cha Hee-ra, Jung Hayan, and Hyunsung-nim… Even Hyejin Noona is training hard. I don’t know what mission they were assigned to, but actually, the mission that Hyung-nim gave me cannot be called a normal job. Compared to other people, it’s far more important, but my strength isn’t sufficient for it.”
“…”
“I think I should be stronger than now…”
‘Start by wiping the food off of your mouth before talking.’
“I don’t think you need it. Even now, it’s enough, Deokgu. Breaking the wall is not something that can be done in a short period of time. It can be strengthened by a small number of humans or in other ways. In my view, you seem to be doing well, and you should just prepare the way you see fit without being influenced by external forces. Even if others are running, don’t think about it.”
“Hyung-nim is right, but… it seems that if Hyung-nim trains me, I’ll be able to become stronger.”
It wasn’t impossible at all, but the efficiency was low. Even if I agreed to it, the rise on his level wouldn’t be high enough…
I was a bit sorry for Park Deokgu, but it was no exaggeration to say that he had already reached his maximum growth limit. He specially reinforced himself and barely managed to reach his current level, but he was still an ordinary person.
He wouldn’t have had to worry about that in the first place if he had been able to break through the wall just because he took care of it a little.
‘There are only 33 days left.’
If I had to choose how to spend that time, it would be best to use it for Jung Hayan and Cha Hee-ra.
In the current situation, if they broke through the wall once, they would be able to grow exponentially.
“You’re strong enough.”
“The words of the Vice Guild Master are correct. Even if I have a battle with Ye-ri these days…”
“Nonsense. I am stronger. Deokgu’s attack doesn’t even pass.”
“Even so, it isn’t possible to easily damage you. Even if it hits, it isn’t easy to penetrate through your thick durability… compared to a year ago, you’ve grown a lot.”
“It’s because I learned a lot from Hyung-nim.”
“I learned a lot from you as well, Deokgu.”
‘By the way, it turns out that he was originally a Red Mercenary.’
Certainly, it seemed that the strength of the two of them had grown.
“I know that there isn’t much time left, but I want to try my best. If you have anything you need, let us know right away. Or would it be better to practice the landing operation?”
It didn’t seem like it would be easy to withdraw until an order was given from there. As I glanced at the guy, he expressed his desire to do something himself.
Eventually, I began to rummage through my infinity bag. Rather than physical growth, it would be more beneficial to him to learn how to think like a tactician.
“It’s not just meaningless words. It would be better to study this rather than focusing on physical growth.”
“Oh, this is a book I’ve read.”
[Basics of Party Play]
[Battle Theory: Beginner’s Edition]
[Combat Theory: Intermediate]
[Understanding of Basic Tactics]
‘It will be much more helpful to increase your understanding.’
One wouldn’t know when they would be able to get out of the bottom of their tactical capabilities.
Whatever the reason, it was almost certain that the moment for him to command the field would come. If not, it would still be of great help to him.
Even if only a bit of his wasteful movements disappeared and his judgment ability became faster, he could go up to half a step further.
His understanding of the battlefield would rise as well, and his tactical options would increase in return. The only question was whether he would accept it.
Maybe he would only turn over a few pages and immediately close the book.
No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t really imagine the appearance of Park Deokgu sitting and reading a book.
He might’ve been thinking that the gift was too unnecessary. I looked at the guy’s face in response, expecting that reaction, but…
‘Uh, I like it more than I thought.’
He looked surprisingly good. Ahn Ki-mo tried to reach out his hand for the books that I had handed over.
“Yes, I have to study.”
“…”
“I don’t think it’s necessary, though. If the situation breaks, everyone will be in a state of panic and will be running on instincts, so…”
‘I feel sorry now that you like it so much.’
I couldn’t imagine whether he would show such a reaction to the wild throw.
At that point, the pain came a little from the realm of conscience. Wasn’t his face that of someone being given the responsibility of handling the continent’s future?
“Of course, don’t skip basic training. You have to work hard, but you must also read all four volumes within a month. I’ve already read it once.”
“Oh, it was something Hyung-nim had read! Is there something like underlined in here?”
“Maybe some pages. Check it out… I have to go now.”
“Why? Stay for a little longer.”
“I have work to do.”
“…”
“Why?”
“Will you have time in the next 30 days? It would be nice to get together again…”
“I will arrange a meeting when we have time.”
“It’s not enough to set up a meeting. We have to get together no matter what. Okay, I’ll try to promote it, so please leave your time empty for a while. It’s been so long since I fell into the continent. I was so scared of some people’s faces. The guild was also filled with maintenance problems… Still, it’s a miracle that I fell in such a strange place and that I got together with you all. We even started quite deep relationships. So, we should get together at least once. According to Hyung-nim’s words, it isn’t the continent’s greatest crisis.”
“I know. I’ll make it happen one day.”
“Really? Are you not just saying that? It’ll be really nice to see everyone together.”
“Sure. You’re right. It’s necessary.”
I could see all of them with a telescope, but it differed from meeting them in person.
It would be a good time to report to the guild members one at a time and share stories around right before the big battle ahead.
After roughly arranging the piled-up things, there should be some room for everyone, and it didn’t seem that bad to make time for a gathering.
Park Deokgu’s expression seemed to tell me something was missing.
As in the past, he would like to laugh loudly, talk unhurriedly, drink alcohol, and spend time with others. Because the bastard basically liked people, he could be confident that he had met the most people in the Blue Guild.
Wasn’t there a decisive reason for not using him?
If anyone got hurt, it was clear that he would think it was his fault, and if they died, his mentality would fall to the bottom.
It was very self-evident that that would affect the battle, and I could be sure that it would eat him alive in the end.
Even if it was not a Blue-exclusive party, could he ignore the deaths of others?
It was a question of whether one of the four great angels would ignore it if he gave out his muzzle to other adventurers. I could affirm that Park Deokgu couldn’t be ignored. I was expecting a scene where he would jump out without knowing, disrupting the battle.
‘That’s right. It’s a bigger problem than his stats or chances of winning.’
At the center, people had to be cool, and Park Deokgu was far from cool. That bastard didn’t fit in such a thing.
I smiled and tapped his shoulder once, and then moved out. I looked back and saw the face of a boy that acted like a child who was seeing off his dad on the way to work.
It felt like he didn’t want me to leave, but I couldn’t invest more time there either. As Lee Jihye said earlier, Cha Hee-ra and Jung Hayan’s cases were also urgent.
Eventually, I decided to focus the remaining time on two more people.
Both of them were hardly able to jump over the wall, so it was natural to think that some countermeasure was necessary.
Of course, I could roughly check with my Mind’s Eyes that the growth was invisibly growing little by little. Still, if I were asked if I had obtained the specifications that I desired in the current situation where time was gradually decreasing, I wouldn’t say yes.
Since the time was short, it could be said that my purpose was to make a place where they could soar in terms of growth.
The first thing suggested was from Cha Hee-ra, not me. I felt the hand mirror ringing.
[Hey, can you do it as fast as possible?]
[Why do you think I should do it now?]
[Well, it sounds like it should be done swiftly… I feel like my head will open a little if I fight coolly. I tried entering a nearby forest… I told you. It seems like it would be better to stick with someone of a similar level. But what about your mission? Did he finally decide to withhold?]
[For now… Yeah. Still, it wasn’t completely clear. Let’s observe him, and if it’s inevitable, we should let it go.]
[Don’t say something that you don’t mean. So when is it?]
[It won’t take long, but we need to have time to prepare.]
[Can you do it a little faster? My body is a little sulky… It is a little annoying because it feels like I would jump a little higher if the time to be still is prolonged. Recently, I have practiced controlling, but… it’s annoying. and why is it Jung Hayan, not Kim Hyunsung?]
[Hyunsung has something to do on his own, and above all else, Jung Hayan is having a little problem…]
[She’s having a hard time growing.]
[Yeah.]
[Since there isn’t much left… Isn’t that a bit of a problem?]
[Well, it’s not that big. Honestly, she’s still growing steadily, and I doubt whether this process is even necessary… The situation’s good. I’m sure she’s on top regarding her stats. She might be stronger than you, Noona.]
[Do you really think so?]
[No, Noona must win.]
[I don’t know. Isn’t her strength enough to destroy the second angel? Of course, it would be shocking, but… it’s not the first time…]
[No. Noona can’t lose.]
[What are you talking about?]
[Hayan will fall to a wizard named Park Mijin. During mock combat training, I’ll pretend like I heard rumors that Noona was broken by a new wizard named Park Mijin.]
[…]
It was a message that made them understand roughly what the situation was.
[This will be fun.]
‘No, Noona… It doesn’t look like it would be fun.’
That was because I had never imagined that I would be able to execute the monster clash desperately and stop it with my own hands.
