Two weeks have passed.

Meanwhile, the barbell arrived, and the muscles began to outline on Ethan’s body.

A week ago, many articles responded to the noticeable changes in Ethan’s body over a short period of time.

The knights thought it was thanks to the exercise method I taught Ethan.

I began to take a more active interest in barbell exercises.

And now everyone was completely into modern movements.

In what are called the three major movements.

Meals have also improved a lot.

This wasn’t really my fault, it seemed like everyone in the knights had posted a petition somewhere.

Ask for a lot of meat, or at least beans.

Does the body instinctively seek protein?

As a result, the amount of meat in the diet increased.

And change happened.

“The entrance to the dungeon was completely conquered!”

“Really?”

“Yes! It’s thanks to your exercise method!”

Director Dana patted my shoulder with a happy expression and said.

The sad future of the original has changed.

Originally, I failed to conquer the dungeon from the entrance, and in the end, the dungeon break occurred and the monsters in the dungeon poured out of the dungeon.

With the cooperation of Rexy, an elf who came to strengthen and support the Knights, they attacked the entrance to the dungeon.

Although there was a long way to go to the depths, the story progressed in a completely different direction from the original.

Still, I was still far from my real goal.

It was a goal that seemed easy at first.

Attacking Director Dana.

I thought I could see the castle wall and that it wasn’t that difficult so I could do it quickly.

Director Dana was very busy.

Mainly because of that dungeon.

Even after returning to the dungeon, unlike Cecil, the leader had no free time.

To conquer the dungeon, we made a plan, requested support, and checked supplies.

One day, when I offered her a massage, she didn’t seem to dislike it, but she declined because she was busy.

There was only one way for this to happen.

Dungeon attack.

Only by achieving this feat, which had never been achieved in the original work, was it possible to secure Director Dana’s time.

And fortunately, the current power of the Knights was strengthened several times compared to the original.

With a nutritious diet and an efficient exercise routine, Ethan has grown quickly enough to do everything for one person, and Lexi and I will be contributing to our strength.

There it is.

I also had a new weapon that arrived yesterday evening.

It was a familiar jungle, but the ingredients that made it were legendary ingredients that could not exist in reality.

Mithril, Adamantium, Dragon’s Tooth.

All three materials used as main materials were obtainable because it was a fantasy.

Not only that, but the craftsman who made it was also a race that only appears in legends, called dwarves.

I couldn’t believe it, so I felt strange every time I saw the weapon that was made.

“….”

In fact, they even mixed themselves with elves, a similar legendary race.

I laughed as I remembered that I had experienced even more unbelievable things.

“Me, leader.”

“Huh?”

The leader, who had been patting my shoulder with his small stature and praising my achievements, looked up at me and asked why I was suddenly calling him.

I hesitated for a moment and then made a suggestion.

“Please have me and Ethan join us in conquering this dungeon.”

“…You? No, I’m not doubting it, but…”

The leader shifted his gaze slightly.

Leader Dana looked toward the training ground.

Ethan, swinging his sword against the scarecrow, was showing skills that made it hard to believe that he had grown in just two weeks.

However, that was all.

Compared to other knights, there were still some shortcomings, and above all, I had no practical experience.

Even if it is to subdue other monsters, it would be a problem to take it to a dungeon.

But my thoughts were different.

“I will take responsibility.”

“…”

Some people might think that my arms were bent inward because I was a disciple, but I knew that.

The only thing Ethan lacks right now is experience.

The experience of fighting monsters, the experience of fighting for your life.

If these things are added, Ethan’s growth rate will accelerate explosively once again.

Then, you may become as strong as Knight Commander Dana in a few months instead of a year.

Then, conquering dungeons won’t be such a distant future.

‘…Then is it dangerous?’

What if they target Director Dana and then try to get revenge?

I honestly don’t know if I can beat the stronger Ethan.

Still, in order to conquer the dungeon, Ethan’s growth was semi-essential.

“If you go that far… okay. Both of us put on armor and get ready, and go to the dungeon before lunch.”

“Yep.”

Director Dana reluctantly nodded and agreed.

I immediately ran to Ethan at the training ground and said,

“Put on your armor and come out, starting today we are going to the dungeon too.”

“Dungeon… You mean with Leader Dana?”

“Yes.”

Ethan ran into his room with the brightest expression he had ever shown.

I was a little nervous about being excited, but I guess I’ll figure it out.

Because he’s not the main character for nothing.

Even so, when the moment of crisis comes, I will do my job.

I also went into my room, got my armor, and swung the sword a few times to get a feel for its weight.

It was a bit heavy, but thanks to its weapon skills and increased stamina, it didn’t seem like there would be any major problems in battle.

When I came back outside, many knights were lined up in two rows, waiting.

At the front was Manager Dana, and right next to him was the elf Lexi.

Ethan and I naturally joined the line.

The crew members, who knew that Ethan had trained hard and his skills had improved significantly, did not bother Ethan anymore.

However, there was no atmosphere that recognized Ethan as a knight.

On the contrary, the knights were more interested in my weapons than Ethan.

“It looks unique.”

“Isn’t it too short?”

Everyone seemed worried about the jungle sword, which was shorter than a one-handed sword.

Because it was shorter, you had to fight closer to the monster, and it wasn’t easy to land the final blow, so it was worth worrying about.

I couldn’t say for sure because it was my first time fighting monsters, but I was confident because I had already experienced the power of this jungle sword several times.

When we got out of the city, there were about four carriages waiting.

It was not a luxurious carriage, but one that carried luggage like a truck.

The knights naturally got into the carriage.

Ethan and I also got on the carriage without realizing it.

I had to ride this carriage for about 30 minutes to get to the dungeon.

And finally, terrain similar to that seen in the original work began to appear.

“This place…”

Ethan swallowed nervously.

I didn’t show it either, but I was a little excited.

The carriage stopped and we got off in front of a huge cave called a dungeon.

On the outside, it looked like the entrance to a cave, but the strange space inside made it clear that this was a dungeon.

There was a space within the cave that was several times larger than its appearance.

Torches were kindly installed on the walls at regular intervals, and unidentifiable wooden boxes and jars were placed throughout the cave.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Unlike me and Ethan, who were lost in an unknown space.

The knights seemed to have gotten used to it by now and began to walk in a line following Leader Dana’s orders.

Ethan and I exchanged glances and walked after him.

The inside of the dungeon was more comfortable than expected.

That made it even more strange.

If this was inside a cave, there should have been moisture or the sound of us moving, but it didn’t.

After walking for a while, the leader stopped with a thud.

“Prepare for battle. It’s an oak.”

At the words of Director Dana, everyone took out their weapons at once.

It was the same for me and Ethan.

“Hanma-gun, Ethan, Seonghan. Would you like to try it?”

This was a kind of test given by Director Dana.

Without saying a word, Ethan and I passed the knights and stood at the front.

okra.

It had green skin and a muscular body, especially the neck muscles were so strong that the neck seemed to be as big as the thighs of an average adult.

As soon as the guy holding the wooden club saw us, he started warning and lowered his body.

I’m about the same size, but compared to the orc, I felt like I was about three heads smaller.

Then, by chance, I remembered what Lexi said and looked at that place in the oak.

…is it similar here?

As I was somehow feeling a sense of kinship as a man, Ethan suddenly rushed towards me.

“Ugh!”

Ethan ran with great enthusiasm and clashed his sword with the huge wooden club held by the orc.

bang. The two weapons collided in the air with a loud sound.

As a result, Ethan’s body floated in the air, but with great skill, Ethan managed to balance in the air and land while staggering.

“Huhhh…”

Ethan’s hands must have gone numb from clashing between weapons, and he let out a faint groan as he clutched his hands.

The orc turned its huge body and began to approach Ethan.

Seeing that, I moved my body without hesitation.

The orc’s eyes widened as I suddenly appeared in front of him.

The orc raised his hand to fight back, but it was already too late.

Kwasik.

The jungle sword raised upward traced a trajectory and cut the orc in half from its chest to its head.

It was stronger than I thought.

I just put a little bit of energy into it, but it cuts into parts of my head that I wouldn’t have been able to reach due to my height.

thud!

The orc’s huge body fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Everyone in the knights except Ethan was looking at me with their mouths open.
