Episode 10. Protagonist (1)
One.
After all classes were over, Dabin Hwang invited me and Selina to his personal training room.
The reason was that I wanted to do more team training.
Probably because he thought he had a clue to defeating Yoon Mir.
“This time I prepared it with oak. “If it’s about an orc, I think I can move it myself.”
Dabin Hwang said while handing out goggles.
It seemed like everything was ready. I looked at Selina, thinking she was also Dabin Hwang.
Because Selina was also looking at me.
“why?”
“advice.”
It seemed like he was asking for some rough advice.
Selina also seemed to want to beat Yoon Mir.
“I will do it. First, watch him move.”
Selina nodded at what I said.
Dabin Hwang was glaring at the orc that appeared in front of him, regardless of whether Selina and I were making a fuss or not.
“Buff activated.”
Whoa!
The buff activated by Hwang Da-bin amplified the movement speed and strength of the three of us.
“Do we need to keep orcs in check too?”
“no.”
I shook my head in response to Selina’s question and spoke to Dabin Hwang.
“I think Orc is a practice partner. If it were Yunmir, an orc would be a handful.”
When Yoon Mir was mentioned, Hwang Da-bin’s fighting spirit could be felt to increase.
I saw Dabin Hwang kicking the ground and gave instructions.
“You have the advantage in speed.”
Dabin Hwang went behind the orc like I did earlier.
“Aim for places that seem relatively weak!”
Chwiik!
Oak saw Dabin Hwang running from behind and tried to swing his fist.
Dabin Hwang was aiming for the back of the orc’s head, but when he saw the orc turning around, he had no choice but to stop punching.
“Huh!”
The Orc aimed for that momentary gap and rushed in.
In a desperate crisis, Selina and I simultaneously punched the orc in the face.
Kueh!!
The orc’s head exploded, and I looked at Hwang Da-bin, who was sitting down because his legs were weak.
This was another part I hadn’t thought of.
No combat experience.
At the starting point, Hwang Da-bin absolutely lacked combat experience.
“It’s difficult.”
If this is the case, the blow of conversion cannot be dealt.
“you can do it.”
Dabin Hwang looked at me with burning eyes.
“It won’t work with monsters.”
“huh?”
“Selina.”
“why?”
“Hit Hwang Da-bin, please.”
“what?”
This was the best for now.
2.
What is the most important thing in battle?
If you ask people this, they will probably answer like this.
Talent.
It is said that the gap in talent determines victory or defeat in battle.
However, after living twice in the world of this novel, I was able to realize that talent is not everything.
So what is the most important thing in battle?
“Rush!”
“but!”
“You can’t even deal with Selina, so you’re going to deal with Yunmir?”
“profit!”
As if my provocation had worked, Dabin Hwang swung his fist at Selina, and Selina easily dodged Dabin Hwang’s fist and kicked Dabin Hwang away.
Wow.
Even though I thought it was really unfair, I thought it was true.
“Did I tell you? “The most important thing in battle is to get rid of fear.”
I walked towards the fallen Hwang Da-bin. Hwang Da-bin was standing up, biting her lip tightly as if poison was forming.
“The attack just happened, it was an attack that was easily avoidable.”
“… “I’ll do it again.”

Dabin Hwang silently walked towards Selina again.
“Wait a minute, take a break. I’m pushing myself too hard. “I moved without wearing goggles, so I might not be able to move properly tomorrow.”
In particular, if you apply a buff to yourself, there will be quite a few aftereffects. If you push yourself too hard, you won’t be able to train tomorrow.
Hwang Da-bin stopped walking at my words.
I was a better listener than I thought.
“… okay.”
“So now it’s their turn?”
I looked at Selina, who was looking at me with an indifferent expression.
“Selina. “Now it’s your turn.”
“advice?”
“Okay, advice. “I saw you last time when you were dealing with Fenrir, and it seemed like you weren’t using your friend properly.”
I flinch.
Selina looked at me with strange eyes at my words.
The look in his eyes was as if he was asking how you knew that.
‘How do I know, I know because I saw you in action in the future.’
Currently, Selina was only swinging Hwaryeong with her arms and moving.
It seemed that Hwaryeong was only used for attack.
‘It just worked out. I should take this opportunity to get Hwaryeong as well.’
Although I would never use it, it was better to stock up on talents that could save me extra lives in advance.
I took a stance in front of Selina, wondering how I could give her a good hit.
“Go for it. “I’ll let you know.”
Of course, I was in a state where I was completely helpless, so I couldn’t teach Selina anything.
However, it wasn’t Selina. The way she showed herself when dealing with Fenrir, and the way she taught Dabin Hwang, Selina couldn’t help but think that she must have something for me.
And this was exactly my aim.
‘For this very moment’
It was a build-up!
The moment I thought that, Selina rushed towards me.
When I saw the Hwaryeong wrapped around my arm and rushing towards my fist, I thought that if I got hit by that, I might die.
“All right, Dabin!! “Please give me a defense increase buff!!”
I urgently called Dabin Hwang, and Dabin Hwang looked at us blankly and then used a buff in response to my shout.
As soon as I felt my defense increase, I applied the defense increase buff to myself twice.
‘Even if a talent has been used once, the talent filled in the slot can be used repeatedly when exposed to that talent again.’
Due to this condition, I could use the ‘buff’ transferred to me as many times as I was receiving the buff from Dabin Hwang.
Even after applying a total of three defense increase buffs, I predicted the trajectory of the approaching fist with my phantom eye just in case.
Only by being hit by that attack could you obtain Selina’s ‘Hwaryeong’.
However, I didn’t want to be hit squarely, so I looked at my fist, thinking that it would hurt less if I got hit slightly, very slightly off-center.
That moment!
Wow!!
It was hit by Selina’s fist and flew away.
“… … “Lee Si-woo?”
I couldn’t wake up.
3.
Flashing.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling. When she turned her head to her side, she saw her roommate, Jeong Ju-won, sleeping while snoring.
“Oh my gosh. “What happened?”
I vaguely remember getting hit by Selina, but I don’t remember anything after that.
I guess he wasn’t beaten by a woman and passed out and taken to the men’s dormitory.
Seeing that the clothes he was wearing were the same, there was a possibility that he had been brought in.
When I took out my smartphone from my pocket and touched the screen, I saw a pile of unread messages.
[Dabin Hwang]
-are you okay? Since he couldn’t get up, I called Joo-won Jeong and told him to take me.
[Selina]
-… … I thought I could avoid it. sorry.
After checking the two messages, I smoothed out my numb chin.
I increased my defense, and it was a good thing I turned my head at the end, otherwise my jaw would have broken out.
“Anyway, did you achieve your goal?”
I couldn’t check it because I was sleeping, so I looked at the system message that was still floating in the air.
[I was physically attacked by an awakened person. Talent ‘transfer’ is activated. Receive the awakened talent. Add the talent ‘Hwaryeong’ to the slot.]
My cheeks were tingling, but a smile was drawn on my lips.
This is because I was able to acquire a talent that was equivalent to an extra life.
“I guess I should reply.”
I looked at the clock, it was six in the morning. Although it was still early, it was also time to get up and get ready.
Holding my smartphone, I sent a message to Hwang Da-bin saying that it had finally happened and that I was sorry for causing trouble, and to Selina, I replied that it was my fault for not being able to avoid it and that there was nothing to be sorry about.
“I need to train in the morning.”
After waking up this early for the first time, I thought I should go to the training room and test various things, so I went out.
As I headed to the training room, I thought about yesterday.
‘Obviously, the moment the attack was successful at the end, I relaxed my strength.’
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten better in just one day.
When I arrived at the training room, I warmed up and started working out in earnest.
Talent was important, but you also had to have good physical strength.
I started doing various bodyweight exercises, starting with lying down on the floor and doing push-ups.
Until my whole body loses strength.
1 hour later.
“Huh, huh. I can’t do it anymore. I have to do this every morning… … .”
While muttering that, I blew a buff into the body that was having trouble moving and forced it to move.
I was fortunate to be able to help with movement like this with a simple buff.
When I returned to the dormitory and washed up, Jeong Ju-won had woken up and was getting ready.
He saw me coming out of the bathroom.
“How much trouble did I have yesterday because of you…” … .”
I hit the player quickly.
“Sorry sorry. “It was hard, wasn’t it?”
When I said this with a smile, Joo-won Jeong sighed and said before going into the bathroom that he couldn’t spit on a smiling face.
“Did you contact Selina? They were really worried. “I’ve never seen Selina so restless, man.”
“huh? okay? “I did it.”
I felt like I was missing out on a good sight seeing as Selina was restless.
“Okay, I’m washing up.”
Jeong Joo-won went into the bathroom, and I opened the smartphone that I had thrown on the bed again.
There were two messages again.
[Dabin Hwang]
-See you later.
[Selina]
-I’m still sorry.
There’s absolutely no need to be sorry. I got ready for school, thinking that Selina might be roasted if she found out that she had been hit on purpose.
Today, I thought I would teach Selina how to use Hwaryeong properly.
4.
Since we both woke up early, we headed to the school cafeteria.
Because I overslept every day, I couldn’t eat breakfast, but since I was in a dormitory, of course food was provided.
“I heard something came out this morning?”
“I heard it’s ham bread. “Maybe it comes with ham and bread?”
I tilted my head in response to Jeong Joo-won’s answer.
Wait, the ham bread I know is… … .
When I arrived at the restaurant and saw bread, jam, bacon, and milk, I couldn’t help but smile.
This is not for students to eat.
There was something I was always curious about while living the second season. Who is the chef at Gakseong High School’s restaurant?
The chef of Gakseong High School who always comes up with unusual meals. After putting the food on the plate while wondering about his identity, I looked around to find an empty seat.
“Uh, it’s Selina and Dabin Hwang.”
When I turned my head at Jeong Joo-won’s words, I saw the two of them eating bread, their black hair flowing in contrast with their bright red hair.
Perhaps because they both had white skin, they were very noticeable, but there was no one around them.
Since I contacted you earlier, I guess I can sit next to you.
As I headed next to Selina and Hwang Da-bin, Jeong Ju-won followed me.
“uh? “Roommate.”
“why?”
Jeong Joo-won called, but I kept walking and talking, and since the distance was close, I quickly arrived at where Hwang Da-bin and Selina were.
“that… “I was going to stop for a moment, but I was late.”
“huh?”
When I turned to the side after hearing Jeong Ju-won’s words, I saw an unexpected person looking at me.
“It’s been a while since we wanted to eat together, so I came here. I guess you had a prior agreement?”
Hwang Da-bin, seeing the man, stood up and called the man’s name.
“Yunmir!”
Yunmir, the main character of the original ‘Ise’.
He appeared.
