A day has passed.

He told me to rest during the weekend because he was going to be moving. Of course, I couldn’t do that, so I’m running at the training center to build up my stamina.

But this time I’m not alone.

“Okay, wait a minute…! This is too hard…!”

Right now, I brought Seo Jae-hyuk here on purpose.

If you think about it, my original plan was to train Seo Jae-hyeok and make him as strong as possible from the beginning. So, in order to do that, I made Seo Jae-hyeok run throughout the training grounds.

How many laps did that take?

“Cheer up, Jaehyuk!”

And of course, the will followed naturally. The guy was just quietly jumping up and down, cheering only on Seo Jae-hyeok.

“That, haha, yeah……!”

Seo Jae-hyuk kept running, trying his best not to show his exhaustion as if he wanted to repay the support. It was getting hard for me to watch.

At this point, I’m worried that I might suddenly faint.

I stopped running for a moment and sat down, my legs giving out.

It seemed that he had grown tired after continuously running alongside Seo Jae-hyeok. If I think about it, no matter how weak Seo Jae-hyeok is, he is also an Awakened person, so he must have innate physical strength. I had forgotten that for a moment, and I ended up reaching my physical limit.

“Whew, shit.”

I muttered softly and looked towards Seo Jae-hyuk. He was running passionately, sweating profusely.

He ran like that and arrived in front of me. He must have reached his limit because he sat down in the same spot as me.

“You, it’s too hard.”

“That’s the original intention of the exercise.”

I gave a simple answer to Seo Jae-hyeok’s whining.

Then I stood up. Unlike the guy, I felt like I could move around a little since I had rested a little. So I decided to prepare in advance.

The place where I am now is very large.

So, originally, I would have had to walk a bit far to get the weapon, but I prepared for that by staying in a place where the weapon was right next to me. Thanks to that, I could use the weapon right away without any hassle.

I picked up one of the spears that was stuck next to me and threw it in front of Seo Jae-hyeok.

“What is this?”

Seo Jae-hyuk said in surprise at the window that suddenly appeared.

“From now on, you will use a spear as your main weapon.”

Currently, Seo Jae-hyeok mainly holds a dagger. However, Seo Jae-hyeok will become stronger later and use a spear instead of a sword, so it would be better to hold it in advance from now on.

In the original, he only changes his weapon to a spear in the latter half of his second year of high school.

“But, my main weapon is a dagger…….”

“I know.”

“Then why.”

“The window suits you better.”

He answered with a snicker.

Seo Jae-hyuk looked at me with an expression on his face as if he had heard some nonsense. Maybe he thought I was a crazy kid. However, I couldn’t help it because it was a necessary action for Seo Jae-hyuk to become stronger in advance.

“Just try it once. You’re better suited to a spear than a sword.”

okay.

Seo Jae-hyuk, you’re better suited to a spear than a sword.

“Okay, okay. Okay. I’ll try it out a little.”

“Thank you,”

I said, giving him the kindest smile I could.

Seo Jae-hyuk still holds the window with an expression that seems somewhat uneasy.

At that time, Yusera approached me.

I wasn’t too nervous because I thought he was going to say something.

“……What are you?”

“What?”

I spoke as if I knew nothing. Then, Yusera glared at me as if she was dissatisfied.

“Why did you let Jaehyuk hold the spear?”

As expected, Yu Seo asked me a question.

Since I had no answer anyway, I decided to speak a little shamelessly.

“That’s what the system I was talking about before said, right?”

“……No, is that what you call a horse?”

“Of course.”

Of course, Yoo Seo will be very suspicious of me. But there is nothing I can do about it. This is the only way to make Seo Jae Hyuk grow as quickly as possible, and that is why I need to be a little bold.

“Ha, are you perhaps a regressor like me?”

It must have been said lightly, as a will. But at the same time, I feel like it was said with the thought that there would be no proper answer.

So I answered a little lightly.

“Of course not.”

“Okay, then what is it?”

“I can’t answer that.”

“Yes, I knew it.”

Yu Seo-ra smiled faintly, as if she was in despair.

I looked at her like that and then turned my gaze towards Seo Jae-hyuk. Seo Jae-hyuk was swinging his spear and stabbing alone.

Even to me, who knows nothing, it seemed completely immature.

‘I have to help.’

Of course, it’s not something I can teach.

Still, I walked towards Seo Jae-hyuk, thinking that if I spoke exactly as the novel said, things would work out somehow.

“Yeah, as expected. It’s my first time using it, so I don’t know, haha.”

Seo Jae-hyuk continued swinging his spear while muttering to himself.

Then, when he felt me approaching, he immediately turned his head towards me and said with a bright smile.

“That, Seo Jin-ah. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think a window suits me…….”

“So write it.”

“Ha, but.”

“Write it.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Seo Jae-hyuk continued to swing his spear, frowning as if he was dissatisfied.

‘Okay, now it’s explanation time.’

I opened my mouth with that thought.

“Stand a little closer and try poking me. Maybe that will help?”

“Okay, posture? What posture?”

“……I see?”

If you think about it, the only thing described in the novel was holding a pose and stabbing. Now that I think about it, the expression is a bit vague and I don’t know what to do.

Of course, that doesn’t mean I really don’t know anything.

“Uh, when you stab someone roughly, instead of maintaining a proper posture, it’s better to bend down a bit more or something.”

Still, I tried to describe it as best I could remember.

“Let’s just add basic movements.”

“Basic? What is that?”

“Uh, roughly stabbing, hitting, cutting. That’s what I’m talking about.”

“…… Stabbing, kicking, cutting? I’ll give it a try.”

Then, Seo Jae-hyeok followed my words and lowered his body more than before. Then, he quickly thrust the spear blade forward and flicked it as if he was striking something. Then, he immediately continued his stance and slashed the air.

“Hmm, I still don’t know.”

Yes, the guy still won’t know anything.

But just by listening to my nonsense, I could see that Seo Jae-hyuk had become more composed than before.

‘So, are the talented ones different?’

In reality, Seo Jae-hyeok did not show much talent with a dagger, but he showed that he was better than anyone else at spearmanship.

If you think about it, I think my decision to teach it in advance like this was not wrong.

“I don’t like it.”

While I was looking at it with a slightly happy look, Yoo Seora muttered next to me.

If you think about it, he probably knew that Seo Jae-hyeok was talented in spearmanship, but he didn’t tell him, so it seems like he wanted something.

And now I’ve stopped it.

‘Are you feeling good?’

Somehow, a smile came to my face at the thought that I had somehow hit Yoo Seora hard.

“Okay, I’ll go out for a bit.”

I had something to do for a moment.

It’s nothing special, I just thought it would be better to do it now.

“Where are you?”

“Take it apart.”

I gave a vague answer to Yusera’s question and then walked.

So I left the training ground and went out into the hallway, and decided to get a little further away from the guys. Since Yoo Seo would probably want to stay with Seo Jae Hyuk anyway, just walking around a little would be enough.

After walking for a while, I arrived at a corner where I thought there would be no one. I looked around for a while and then took out the cell phone I was holding.

And then I immediately called someone.

Ring ring.

The phone rings and I wait.

After a while, the guy finally answered the phone.

– Who is it?

“Who is it? You know what I mean.”

At that time, I called Lee Do-hyun, a believer in the Masin Church whom I had met.

Now, it was said that the fact that the Demon Sect, Yuseo, was a returnee was discovered. If so, it was necessary to find out if all the members of the Demon Sect knew about it, and at the same time, to gather other information.

Since Yu Seo-ra didn’t seem to care much, I decided to listen to it myself.

So I called first yesterday too.

I asked about the most important of them all, Yusera, and it seemed like it wasn’t widely known.

‘No, there was no talk about Yoo Seo-ra. If there was something, it seems like they didn’t let me hear it.’

The answer was as expected. As expected, only the bigger executives knew, and the others seemed to have heard nothing.

This was a good point in its own way, because if the fact that Yusera was a regressor spread too far, it would have many disadvantages.

So I was anxious, but when I heard that, I was able to feel relieved right away.

Anyway, since I confirmed what I had to confirm, the next thing to do was to find out why the gate was attacked. So I asked Lee Do-hyun, and since he didn’t know either, he said he would tell me tomorrow.

And a day passed, and I called today to hear it right away.

“What, did you find out anything?”

I asked with some anticipation.

If you learn something here, you will naturally learn about Choi Na-yeon, and then you will gain more information.

– Sorry, I tried to find out, but I couldn’t. At least, it seems like you couldn’t tell me.

“What the fuck.”

I clenched my teeth for a moment.

I thought I could resolve the situation well, but it seems I judged it too lightly. Unexpectedly, Lee Do-hyun was useless, and at the same time, there was no information to be gained.

“Hey, if you’re hiding it, you’re screwed. Do you understand? ”

– Do you think I hid it?

“I’m thinking of the possibility. But I still believe it for now. If you’re really hiding it, I’ll go to your house. Okay?”

– ……Okay, do whatever you want.

“Okay, then I’ll hang up.”

-Okay.

I hung up as soon as I heard the guy’s answer.

In that quiet, I sighed deeply.

“Fuck, is there really nothing I can do?”

Lee Do-hyun, you incompetent bastard.

If the guy really had nothing to hide, then he was a piece of trash who couldn’t even help right away.

While I was feeling dissatisfied, I looked at another contact saved on my phone.

Last night, when I came back from training, there was a piece of paper lying around. And the phone number written on it.

I quickly realized that he was the cult member I had met back then.

‘I guess I should ask him too.’

Don’t you know?

Maybe he is someone who can help me a lot.

‘but.’

Strangely enough, it was true that I felt some resistance.

I did save it on my phone just in case.

‘Let’s put this on hold for now’

I think it would be better to think about it more later.

It would be better to be cautious.

“Whew, let’s go back now.”

In the end, there was no point to be gained.

That annoyed me so much that I was seething with anger.

‘Fuck, this is fucking shit.’

Why do I have to do this?

I continued to vent my complaints and headed back to the training ground. I figured I should at least train since I had nothing better to do.

I walked down the hallway like that and arrived in no time. I went straight into the training grounds.

“So why are you picking a fight with me?”

“It’s not a fight, you’re the one who’s twitching. I’m just trying to stop you?”

“No, I was just trying to help you, right?”

“You’re funny. How can I believe that? And why are you helping me?”

“Just, why not?”

“That’s because it doesn’t work.”

As I entered, what I saw was Yoo Seo-ra and Choi Na-yeon, who I didn’t know why she was there.

The two were having a very enjoyable argument.

“……Ah! Seo, Seojin! Help me!”

Seo Jae-hyuk, who was standing next to me, called me as soon as he saw me. It seemed as if he thought I could solve this difficult situation.

It was so absurd, but at the same time, I still didn’t fully understand the situation.

‘No, so why is that kid here?’

I really don’t know why Choi Na-yeon is here.

I don’t know what it was, but it was clear that it wasn’t a very pleasant situation.

This is a total mess.

…Fuck.
