Episode 75
Evan probably learned Raven even before he was an adult.
This means that people learned swordsmanship from an age when even toy swords felt burdensome, and by that point, the line between martial arts and everyday life became blurred.
Not in a combat situation, but in normal times… … .
For example, even simple actions such as walking down the street or eating can show the color of swordsmanship.
What happens if you try to exclude the swordsmanship that has penetrated so deeply into your body?
Of course, the limbs get twisted like that.
“Evan! “Are you out of your mind?”
Evan trembled at my yelling, but he still didn’t use Raven actively.
‘This kid looked really bad from earlier… … .’
Since it is a real battle, there is no time to keep pushing.
First, I participated in the battle more actively and attacked the spider… … .
Kwazijic!
It wasn’t long before Charles’ mace crushed the spider’s head.
The giant spider wriggled its eight legs and then fell down.
“Aaaah-!”
Mir continues swinging his ax at the corpse spider.
Evan hangs his head.
Charles wipes the spider’s body fluid off his face.
Charles said with a sigh.
“… “It’s worse than I thought.”
I know yeah.

It’s difficult to get rid of an acquired habit.
This is especially true when it comes to martial arts.
It is said that in a match between skilled players, the one who can detect the opponent’s habits faster will win.
Therefore, the greater the expert, the more effort he makes to get rid of his bad habits.
Of course, this has side effects.
If you try too hard to get rid of a habit, even the movements you previously learned well will become distorted.
Why are you suddenly saying this?
Perhaps this is because, to Evan, Raven literally seems like a collection of habits.
– In general, the younger you are in martial arts, the better.
Not long after I came to Yeongsan, Master said this.
– It is not that there are no drawbacks. An immature body is not suitable for performing martial arts, so even if the movements are completely imitated, unnecessary things are bound to occur. And the child’s ability to absorb even such unnecessary things is absorbed without any strain. Is this why a teacher is essential in early education?
– hmm… … .
– So, you are the youngest. You are lucky in some way. Because your hair is already thick enough, any bad hair can be corrected quickly.
Of course, the correction was a physical correction, done with fists… … .
… Anyway, what I want to say is simple.
Evan must not abandon Raven.
Even if it is thrown away, it is clearly a handshake to shake it off in such a short period of time.
As if my premonition was correct, we encountered monsters several times after that.
“Die!”
“… Pfft! “I’m sorry!”
Mir and Evan’s conditions did not improve significantly.
The only people doing one serving are me and Charles.
At that point, Charles spoke with a serious expression.
“… “I think it would be better to change direction to gathering rather than hunting.”
“hmm… … .”
After his first hunt, Charles started talking to me more often, but he seemed like the only one he had to discuss with was me.
It’s absurd, but I feel the same way.
Now that Evan, whom I had no doubts about, has become like that, the most trustworthy person in this group now is Charles Rubietta.
“Wouldn’t it be difficult to hunt monsters with those two?”
Charles said, looking behind him.
Mir and Evan were trudging a few steps away.
I thought for a moment.
Mir’s trauma and Evan’s wandering.
Neither of these issues can be resolved in the short term.
At the same time, 72 hours is too short a time to fix things.
In fact, the more serious one of the two right now is surprisingly Evan.
In the case of Mir, he still seemed disappointed in his pathetic appearance, but he was not discouraged.
Evan, on the other hand, was completely entranced.
Disappointment with Raven, guilt toward his father, and doubts about whether this was the right choice.
There’s probably a storm raging inside that guy right now.
I sighed too.
Being a teacher is not a big deal.
A teacher considers the student’s concerns, gives advice, and guides the student to the right path.
But what are these self-proclaimed instructors?
It may not help, but rather it is destroying the child’s spirit.

‘Are these guys major criminals?’
… Of course, you shouldn’t criticize it like that.
In my opinion, the hunting teacher was a great teacher.
The same goes for Calzak, whom I saw in the mountains.
“Of course, if we change the route to collecting, time will be very tight… … . Hey. Are you listening?”
“I’m listening. “But I think we can change our plans.”
“yes?”
“I think I’ll have to use all three days.”
Charles blinked his eyes.
“… “Wasn’t it you who said that the forest at night is hell and that we should finish before the sun sets?”
“It did. But this is indeed a retreat.”
I said looking around.
“This area is still within the range of instructors.”
“What is that… … .”
“Look Carefully. It’s faint, but the path has been paved. “The side we walk on has a low waist.”
Charles looked around after hearing what I said, but he didn’t seem to realize anything.
Actually, it’s natural.
Even if she received education for gifted children from a young age, would an aristocratic woman ever go to the mountains?
What is clear is that the wild forest is much messier than this.
Of course, it is true that there are no instructors.
“Isn’t it just because we went back and forth a few times? “It’s a road that carriages traveled on.”
“There is one more piece of evidence. What did Instructor Juan say? “If you attack the same spirit, you will be eliminated immediately.”
“… ah!”
An exclamation mark appeared above Charles’ head.
Fortunately, he wasn’t a hard-headed guy.
“If you are eliminated immediately… “It means that the instructors have the means to detect Youngdo’s movements.”
“okay. So, as long as you don’t stray too far, it won’t be that dangerous even if you stay for three days.”
It is probably a controlled area up to a certain distance from the retreat camp.
If I had known this would happen, I would have bought a sleeping bag. It wasn’t that expensive.
“Well, that makes sense. “The level of the monsters I fought a few times ago wasn’t that high.”
Charles looked at me with slightly different eyes.
“Luanne Badnicker, I saw you again a little bit. “It’s not as bad as Hector, but you can’t fake your lineage, right?”
“Do you really like my brother?”
“That could be possible!”
Charles let out a loud noise.
So much so that the guys walking behind me were startled.
“Otherwise, why are you screaming and making such a fuss? “It hurts my ears.”
“How rude… … ! “I’ll take back everything I said earlier!”
“Like that.”
I looked up at the sky, listening to Charles’ muttering words.
It’s hard to see because of the bushes, but… You can feel it because you have learned the first chloride technique.
The sun is slowly setting.
“Should I find somewhere to stay? “Have you ever experienced homelessness?”
“no.”
I guess so.
I thought for a moment and said.
“It seems like the best place would be on a tree, but the cold is a problem.”
It is midwinter now.
It’s extremely cold in the forest at night, and we don’t have tents or sleeping bags to keep warm, so sleeping is no different from riding a carriage straight to hell.
“You just need to start a fire.”
“On a tree?”
“no. “I just lit a bonfire underneath and stayed awake.”
“Hmm.”
A good offer was made for a young lady, but… … .
For some reason, the fact that it is a butterfly forest and not any other place feels uneasy.
In my opinion, this place is as dangerous as the Jewel Mountains.
‘Even if it is a place under the instructor’s control, there is always one thing…’ … .’
If you start a fire and end up attracting the attention of monsters, it will be annoying.
“… Or how about just not sleeping?”
Evan, who had been dazed, opened his mouth for the first time in a long time. I don’t know when it started, but he seemed to have been listening to our conversation.
But I shook my head.
“no. “It might be okay for one day, but your condition will deteriorate from the next day.”
You must achieve results on the first day, but if you fail to do so, the risk is too great.
“Searching the forest at night isn’t very efficient. “It’s dark, so what can you see?”
“Uh, um… … .”
I’m not the kind of guy who would make such a stupid suggestion.
It seems like the taste is still going on.
“Why not sleep in the cabin!”
At that time, Mir said something crazy.
Charles said, clapping his hands.
“hut? and! What a great idea! So, should we start with logging first? There’s wood everywhere, so you’ll never run out of materials! “You stupid giant!”
“what are you talking about? “Why do you cut down trees?”
“Then what about the cabin falling from the sky?”
“Isn’t it over there?”
Mir pointed ahead.
“… huh?”
“Huh.”
And where the finger pointed, there really was a cabin.
“… “I’m not tired yet to the point where I can see nothing.”
“Hey. “Is there some kind of hallucinogenic effect in this forest?”
“well… … .”
But it’s a hallucination… … .
Thinking that might be the case, I focused my anger on my eyes.
Then the dark vision became bright and the hut could be seen more clearly.
The eyes are in a state of fire.
It’s nothing special, but it was a technology that allowed you to see the movement of mana in more detail… … .
“I don’t think it’s a hallucination? “It could be a trap, though.”
“hmm… … .”
I looked at the group members for a moment and then nodded.
“I’ll go and check first. “You should wait here.”
“Is it okay if I go alone?”
“It’s more dangerous to go together.”
Charles nodded.
“… great. “If you think something is dangerous, send a signal.”
“signal? how?”
“Let’s just decide on two.”
Charles spread his arms and made an O.
“It’s safe this way.”
Next, I crossed my arms in an X shape.
“It’s dangerous to do this.”
“hmm. “Can you show me again?”
“Safety, risk… … .”
“one more time.”
“Safety, risk… … .”
“finally… … .”
Evan stopped Charles from grabbing me by the collar.
In return for the valuable sightseeing, I headed to the cabin alone without complaint.
In fact, I pretended that it was more dangerous to go together, but I am not good at stealth or secret.
I only stepped forward because I thought I would be better than those chicks.
“hmm… … .”
The cabin I saw up close was just ordinary. Although it was a bit small, there was nothing wrong with it on the outside.
I don’t feel like I’m popular.
But regardless of that fact, I raised the tension.
… I smell blood.
I sheathed the sword of the Seven Deadly Sins.
I don’t know about the other guys, but the fact that I put down my weapon is proof that I’ve actually increased the tension.
If an emergency arises, prepare in advance to respond with your bare hands.
Anyway, the cabin didn’t even have the usual windows. Although there was a small chimney, it didn’t seem to be big enough for a human body to fit in… … .
I had no choice but to time it for a moment and then suddenly opened the door.
And immediately I realized that my sense of smell was not wrong.
There was a body inside the cabin.
“… … .”
Although submerged in blood, distinct orange hair was visible.
It was a familiar face.
A talkative girl who had a complex about her freckles and was soft-spoken.
However, he had a bright personality, so for some reason I couldn’t hate him.
The palm was submerged in a pool of blood.
