How to Survive as a Player Chapter 102

#102

“Siwoon, I’m going to see Gapjun Kim. Would you like to come with me?”

“yes… !”

Yoo Si-un answered as soon as he was asked. Coincidentally, the prosthetic leg that I had recently requested from Artisan Empire had arrived and I was about to stop by Kim Gap-jun’s training center. The potion production was probably completed, and since there seemed to be nothing more to do today, Sehyun decided to end her schedule at the factory early.

After adjusting the potion to the maximum quantity, Sehyeon left the laboratory and saw a knight standing with his back to the door.

He turned his back and looked at Sehyun as he pretended to be popular with her. Deep, sunken gray eyes followed Sehyeon. However, he was blind in one of his eyes. An old, crooked scar sat across one of his eyes.

He was the third hero, ‘Kyle’, in charge of training knights. He was a hero who admired Euncheong, a fellow knight, and rose to this position by trusting Sehyeon as he began to increase his power. Among the knights, Kyle was considered a more fearsome figure than Ruhak.

Even the knight commander said that his back got wet whenever he faced him. Maybe that’s why, whenever he checks the reliability of the drivers, the thing Sehyun hears most is, ‘Please calm down, Kyle. ‘There is nothing to do but load.’

He was a man limited only to Sehyeon. Even during harsh training under the scorching sun, he was a retainer who was so worried that whenever he saw Sehyeon, he would run over with water.

“Lord, you seem to be standing too far. Please take more care of yourself.”

“Kyle, there’s no training for the knights today, right?”

“doesn’t exist.”

Kyle had been blind since he first came here, so we couldn’t fix it. The wounds she suffered before coming here could not be healed even with the elixir.

At one time, he was so upset about that wound that he tried to figure out a way to heal it, but when he realized that that wound was like honor to him, he had to give up his thoughts.

“Let’s go, Kyle. I’m going to the training camp. “I’ll sit there, okay?”

As I stretched out my hand, Kyle took off his thick gloves and slowly held them together. Her hands were hard, covered in scars and calluses. Her hand, which felt the years of her suffering, covered Sehyeon’s hand.

“Shall we go, Mr. Yoo Si-un?”

“yes… !”

As we left the potion factory, hot sunlight poured down. Still, the wind was cool, so it didn’t feel like a hot day.

For a few days, no. Ten days have passed since I confirmed Ruhak’s sincerity. During those ten days, Sehyeon could not see Ruhak’s face. He had a strong feeling of being avoided.

A visit to the office was denied, and asking the heroes was of no use. It was only in the morning that I could feel his traces. When unusually neatly trimmed wings catch your eye.

He only visited Sehyeon when she was in a deep sleep. All Sehyun could do was wait for him to compose his mind.

“… Sehyeon.”

It was Yoo Si-woon who pulled Se-hyeon out of her thoughts. Sehyeon’s gaze turned to his black eyes that were bright in the sunlight. Yu Si-woon had a look of concern on his face.

However, after a while, Yu Si-un, who had pursed his lips once, opened his mouth.

“… soon… I’m going to the Empire… .”

Yoo Si-un held both hands and spoke with difficulty. The hands he was holding were shaking slightly. Still, he had no intention of backing down any further.

“… To Sehyun… I owe a debt that I can’t repay. I am… I’ve never received anything like this… Just thank you and… “I don’t want to cause trouble.”

“Yoo Si-un.”

“Oh, I know. Just put your heart first… There’s nothing you can do… Ah, I know that it’s the same no matter where you go. but… .”

What Yu Si-un experienced when he came here. And everything he saw when he came here may have made him feel guilty about his empire. Yu Si-un’s vassals are probably suffering from exploitation even at this moment. Yu Si-un would also know this well. He was never stupid.

“Even just me being comfortable like this… I am… I can’t bear it… .”

Baek Do-hyun’s words ‘I have no intention of escaping’ came to mind. Some people will point fingers at him. Whispering, “Of course,” or “Yes, that’s right,” etc.

However, Sehyun’s thoughts were a little different. It wasn’t that he had no intention of getting away.

“If I don’t go… everyone… You will have a harder life… . Well, I should go too… .”

If Se-hyeon were in the same situation as Yoo Si-un, he would have chosen to go back. Was it really good for him to leave behind the suffering of his vassals and live in peace?

In fact, Sehyun had been waiting for him to ask for help. However, what Yu Si-un chose was to return alone. There was nothing for Sehyun to do here.

Everything is just Yoo Si-un’s choice.

“… When are you going to go, Mr. Yoo Si-un?”

“Okay, as soon as possible…” If possible… Sehyun’s potion is also completed… Within two days… “I want to go back.”

“… Yes, I will prepare it for you.”

“Okay, thank you.”

As far as preparations were concerned, the only thing I could do was send them off. Si-Woon Yoo wiped his tears with his sleeve and bowed his waist. If this was the best Yoo Si-woon could think of, Se-hyeon had no right to stop it. Sehyun nodded and started walking again.

The reason why Yu Si-un stayed so long was probably because he was making potions. It was clear that it was to repay Sehyun in some small way. Now that it was completed, I thought my work was done.

After thinking for a long time, we arrived at our destination, the training center. As Sehyun entered the training center building, he unintentionally witnessed a strange scene and stopped.

The strange scene took place in the center of the training center, in a place with grass like a playground. As Sehyun glanced at that place, Kyle and Siwoon Yu’s gaze also shifted towards that direction.

Sehyeon turned and headed there. As I approached a few steps, I heard Kim Gap-Jun’s voice booming, holding a whip.

“Oh, just stop panting! “If you only take ten steps, then there’s no point in training!”

Kim Gap-jun, holding a whip, was yelling at someone until his stomach hurt. As I looked out onto the lawn, I saw a familiar looking man hunched over and panting. Next to him was a man in a wheelchair with a worried expression on his face.

Only then did I understand how this situation had happened. Se-hyeon approached Kim Gap-jun, who was shouting with blood on his neck.

“Why are you harassing me when I tell you to teach?”

“Wow, this is a surprise!”

As soon as he heard Se-hyeon’s voice, Kim Gap-jun jumped up from where he was standing. Then he grabbed his heart and glared at Sehyun, with a look in his eyes that said, “This is all your fault.”

“This son of a bitch appears like he’s sticking out, damn it!”

“That’s because Mr. Pithecus is harassing me. Don’t you know that bullying is prohibited here? “Tell me how long it’s been since you’ve been here.”

“You said something like bullying and fell asleep! This guy makes so many noises while playing around on a random day! Oh, then you teach!”

Se-hyeon looked at Kim Gap-jun, who was grinning, and then looked at the man who was panting after running ten steps. Sehyun wasn’t that bad either, but his physical strength was almost at a low level. Still, seeing him trying to run steadily without giving up, it seemed like he had quite a bit of perseverance.

He was Gong Jae-woo, one of the two road players taught by Kim Gap-jun. He seemed very mentally ill.

“Kim Gap-jun, what did you do when you were in Gong Jae-woo’s village?”

“Well, I just went around picking up rocks. That guy’s job is hard to see in the beginning. “Others didn’t know, so I just ignored them and snorted. If that guy had founded an empire, the world would have changed in no time.”

“What was it?”

“Engineering.”

Kim Gap-Jun answered in an indifferent manner. It was actually Sehyun who was surprised. Sehyeon turned towards Kim Gapjun and asked with wide eyes.

“Engineering?”

“Oh, you know. It’s useless at first, but explodes later. Engineers have a reputation for not having stamina, but that guy, Gong Jae-woo, is especially weak, tsk. It’s just a waste of money, so where can I even pay for food? “That’s why I’m giving you some training these days.”

Kim Gap-jun looked at Gong Jae-woo with mixed eyes, then clicked his tongue and shook his head. Meanwhile, Gong Jae-woo ran hard and ran into the area marked by the goal. As soon as he came in, he sat down and was panting, and sweat could be seen dripping down him.

“Besides, that guy isn’t just talented. Where did a guy like that come from? I stared at him with wide eyes even then. “He was an engineer or something.”

For some reason, those words gave me a feeling of déjà vu. The voice of Bill Will, who had sadly said that he had taken care of her convenience, passed through her mind.

It means that talented people are appointed. If what Kim Gap-jun said is true, Gong Jae-woo may also be just as talented as Kwak Jeong-han. Maybe it could be even more amazing.

“But what happened?”

“I came to see it because I had nothing to do.”

At those words, Kim Gap-Jun grabbed the back of his neck. Se-hyeon left Kim Gap-jun, who was shouting and pointing, and approached Gong Jae-woo, who was gulping down the water that Huey had given him. The first person my eyes caught was Huey.

“Ah, it’s Sehyeon. Thank you always.”

“Yes, how have you been?”

“I’m always fine, but putting me to sleep… .”

Sehyun’s eyes turned to Gong Jae-woo. Gong Jae-woo, his face flushed, was looking at Se-hyeon with blurry eyes. When their eyes met, Gong Jaewoo bowed his head and gave a silent greeting.

“I came because I have something to give to Mr. Huey.”
