00053 My older brother has changed —————————————– ——————————-=
As I approached the tramp, who was gaping in disbelief, the female wizard looked up at me with eyes full of fear. I also lowered my head down and exchanged glances with her with her indifferent eyes. She was a typical cat-like beauty with slightly raised eye corners. When I saw her suddenly shaking, I felt like my body was being taken over by a strange sense of deja vu.
I spent most of the first session in the shade. Compared to my activities, not many people knew me, but those who knew me once called me ‘The Vagrant Hunter.’
Later on, the boundary between existing users and vagrants becomes blurred, but originally, when vagrants are mentioned, negative images such as murder, robbery, and rape come to mind. As the activities of vagabonds became more severe, existing users of Eye for an Eye and Teeth for a Teeth also secretly formed a clan. A group of users who hunt vagabonds. That clan was a term used to refer to users who specialized in hunting vagabonds.
That clan literally doesn’t care what the opponent does as long as he or she is an outcast. Whether through enslavement, human experimentation, murder, or rape. If a vagabond is an opponent, he or she is given the authority to be forgiven no matter what kind of trash he or she does. What was so vicious was that even some existing users who knew what was going on started to avoid the hunter users who joined the clan.
Although I only participated for a short time, it reminded me of the things I did as a member of that clan. I lowered the knife, which was thick with the blood of the tramps I had killed earlier. Still, he had quite a bit of skill and sense for a wizard, so he was curious about the information.
『User Information (Player Status)』
Name: Bomi Lee (Year 0)
” ability ”
[Strength 36] [Durability 28] [Dexterity 42] [Stamina 34] [Magic Power 62] [Luck 40]
As expected, he was a user for less than a year. There will be even less experience working as a vagabond. As a wizard, if you look at his abilities, you could still classify him as decent. Hyeon, Sol, and Yujeong’s abilities were so outstanding that even this figure was above the average in terms of years of experience. Perhaps, if we had met during a rite of passage, we might have considered recruiting her as a colleague, but one way or another, Bomi Lee was currently a member of the vagrant who tried to murder us.
“Huh… .”
Bo-mi Lee must have sensed my cold life and let out a helpless scream. In the meantime, I stepped on her writhing fingers as if her restraints were loosening little by little, and slowly raised my sword upward. When a drop of blood from the sword fell and wetted her cheek, the woman spoke in an urgent voice, perhaps realizing that death had come before her eyes.
“Please save me!”
I turned my attention to the kids who were watching blankly without even listening to her.
“look. You can do it if you just try. Anyway, this battle was pretty good. Since you’ve definitely had experience fighting with users, you’re showing a different side of yourself than before. Of course, there are times when these guys let down their guard… “It was pretty good.”
“I will do as you say! Please! You’re from the same Republic of Korea, right? yes? I’m not doing this because I want to do it too. please please… !”
The children’s faces were very subtle. He seemed happy to hear my praise, but he looked embarrassed as he saw the woman being trampled and screaming desperately. I continued to completely ignore Lee Bomi.
“But you can’t just do well in familiar battles. Of course, this will be resolved as you gain experience in the future, but you can always do your job as before without panicking. And like I said before, never take matters into your own hands when dealing with vagabonds. They are troublesome beings if left alive… ah. wait for a sec. “It’s really noisy.”
“I’ll give you everything I have! Even a body if you want, no. Become a slave… “Kwaek!”
When her incessant babbling became annoying, I lightly plunged a sword into her neck. As she plunged her sword into Lee Bo-mi’s slender neck, she let out a single scream and soon died, spitting out blood from her mouth.
“ah… .”
“Huh… !”
I roughly pulled the sword from my neck and swung it once to shake off the blood, and I heard the kids’ voices filled with surprise. At that moment, I thought, “Ah-cha.” A habit from my first time working as a vagabond hunter came out. Just out of habit. I killed him without thinking, just like when I was active in the Hole Plain one-shot, but I thought it might feel a little different from the way I showed to the kids so far.
I glanced around just in case, and saw the children’s uvulas moving as they looked at the woman with her head down.
*
The day was already getting late. The little bit of sunlight that had been shining had suddenly completely disappeared, and pitch-black darkness was slowly encroaching on the surroundings. When I estimated the distance I had traveled so far, I was still over the halfway mark. Since it was not a distance that could be covered in a day or two, I decided not to be impatient.
The kids were definitely growing as they fought. It’s hard to say it’s perfect, but it didn’t make the same mistakes as in the beginning. Today alone, I fought a total of 6 battles in the Jet Black Forest, and if it weren’t for the last battle, I probably would have been able to get through today.
“Cure!”
“Hmm… .”
I looked at Anhyeon, who was lying in the forest and moaning. Above Anhyun, who was lying in the grass, Sol was casting a healing spell, sweating profusely. Hyun’s entire body was covered with scars from wolf bites. It was because a pack of 16 pitch-black forest wolves attacked. Because eight wolves, almost half of them, rushed at Anhyeon and dug into him, there was nothing he could do to say anything. It seemed like he was desperately holding on because he thought Sol would be in danger as soon as he broke through.
Wolves were not originally difficult opponents, but because they received the Black Forest buff, they had aggression and agility that were different from normal wolves. Even while being bitten here and there, Ahn Hyeon fought hard with his spear thanks to my support and proper battlefield coordination, and achieved the feat of defeating most of the eight that attacked him. However, he eventually collapsed after the battle ended with his entire body covered in blood, and the incident could not be avoided.
I quickly took out the healing potion I had brought with me, applied half of it to my body, and lifted the other half down my throat. Sol was also shedding tears as she poured more treatment than necessary when Hyun got injured. In any case, getting hurt like this is a common occurrence in Hall Plain. As appropriate measures were taken with potions and a priest was present, there was no fear of Ahn Hyeon losing his life.
Anyway, after finishing the treatment, An Hyun sobbed and raised his upper body, and Yu-jeong, who was watching with a worried face, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“phew… . idiot. thank god.”
“Whether it’s a compliment or a curse, just give one.”
“Are you worried?”
“brother. “Has the sun set in the east today?”
Yujeong soon thought about Anhyeon’s words, then realized that he was making fun of her, so she narrowed her eyes and glared at him. As soon as I woke up, I saw the two bickering and shook my head.
“How are you feeling?”
“… I think I’ve recovered. “My joints are stiff and I have no strength, but there is no particular problem with moving around.”
“Then today’s battle will no longer be able to continue. It would probably be better to prepare for camping here. The day was over. Anyway, you had a hard time. “You held on well.”
“What about the hardships? “If it weren’t for his brother’s support, he probably would have collapsed a long time ago.”
Even while he was frantically swinging his spear, he seemed to realize that I had helped him. No matter how many wolves there are, they pose no real threat to me. Nevertheless, there was another reason why Anhyeon was left to be bitten(?).
If you are injured during battle and recover, you can aim to increase your durability. It was also assumed that there was a possibility that it would be of some help in manifesting one of the potential abilities,
The day was coming to an end, and I had fought six battles a day, so I thought enough was enough for today. As soon as I said that we were going camping, Yujeong’s body, except Anhyeon, became busy. I took off the bag that Sol was wearing and handed it to me, then searched inside and took out the magic stone.
Yujeong, who was in the middle of sweeping the floor and organizing leaves and bushes, looked at the magic stone I took out, tilted her head and opened her mouth.
“brother. “Then you’re sleeping in this forest today, right?”
“huh. “But why?”
“no. Wouldn’t it be a little dangerous? Monsters might attack at night. “I’m a little anxious about just being on watch.”
“hmm. “I bought a magic stone to use for camping, so it should be somewhat okay.”
Fortunately, seeing the kids talking to me without hesitation, they didn’t seem to show much resistance when I stabbed Lee Bo-mi’s neck. Of course, they may be pretending to look like that. But then again, he killed someone so casually, it was so scary that it must have been quite annoying. But since she had been thoroughly educated about her vagabonds at the User Academy, she didn’t have the awkward vibes she had experienced during the rite of passage.
Yujeong’s face changed strangely at the mention of the magic stone. She looked alternately at her own weapon, then at the weapon with the string and brush, then at her backpack, then at the empty potion bottle, and finally at her magic stone, then opened her mouth with a confused look on her face.
“Oh, brother.”
“Why again? “If it’s not urgent, help me prepare for camping first.”
“no. That’s not it. It’s not urgent… “Where on earth did you get all this?”
“what?”
When Yoo-jeong asked back with a naturally virtuous face, she continued talking, pointing one by one with her finger.
“weapon. Inn fees. backpack. Magic stone. liquid medicine. And so on. Even if you combine the money we gave you and your weekly salary, it would be about 10 gold, right? I heard that magic stones alone are extremely expensive… .”
“The magic stones used for camping are not that expensive. It has the energy to chase away monsters. And the quality is not that good, so you have to be on guard.”
“still. No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand why I got all of this with 10 gold. “Where did you get the money?”
As Yujeong finished speaking, Anhyeon and Ansol also shook their heads. I wanted to just pass it over, but looking at his curious face, I could see that he was determined to get an answer and move on. I opened my mouth in an indifferent voice, holding four magic stones and pretending to prepare land to set up a camping area.
“User Academy.”
“Academy? “Is there any money given to those with excellent training records?”
“no. “I received it together when I received the clan offer.”
“huh? You all rejected me. “But you still gave it to me?”
“brother. “So you really did run away with it?”
As Yoo-jeong and Hyun took turns asking, I sighed again. I saw the children’s bodies flinch again when they saw my sigh. It seems like what made me angry at first still lingered in my mind. Yu-jeong only sighed, but her face looked as if she had asked something pointless, and An-hyeon also scratched her head, worried that she had made a mistake.

I savored my appetite and continued speaking.
“He just gave it to me as a way to ask for it. He told me to come back later if he changed his mind. “I’m giving it to you as a simple gift, so there’s no reason to refuse it.”
“Ohh… .”
What ohho is ohho. Although it was something that was said on the spot, the kids seemed to understand it because it wasn’t an out-of-the-box excuse. Every time I lied like this, I didn’t feel comfortable. But that didn’t mean I could talk about my past, so I just answered with a calm face.
“I thought it would be better to just accept it rather than trying to save face. But that doesn’t mean there’s a lot of leeway. I didn’t give that much. “If I don’t get results from this expedition as much as I invested, I might not be able to even eat, let alone stay at an inn, in the future.”
“Hey. I don’t like that. That’s why I asked you to check the tramps’ belongings earlier. “I don’t really like that.”
Jet-black scorpions and wolves have no place to make money. Among monsters, there are monsters that make money and there are monsters that do not make money. The reason why there are so many vagabonds is because by killing the same user, you can make a lot of money in one shot, which is incomparable to hunting monsters, so it was also popular. On the contrary, if you think about it, the user side can also gain quite a lot of profit by catching the vagabond.
Honestly, if it weren’t for the kids, I would have taken off all the underwear, regardless of whether they were male or female. However, since I had a slush fund and the eyes of the kids, I brought only the most visible things. Because I had been living such a miserable life for the first time, it seemed like I still couldn’t get rid of the habits that emerged from my subconscious.
“You’re saying you’re full. Gold coins come out if you dig in the ground. Anyway, I’ll take a break for today and march again tomorrow. “Let’s just set up a place and prepare for camping.”
After making Anhyun, who was about to jump up at my words, lie down again, I reached into my backpack. When I lifted my backpack slightly, it seemed that it was a little heavier than before I left because I had taken off my bums earlier.
I reached inside and took out the sleeping bag and stared at Yujeong and Sol preparing dinner. Both of them had a look of exhaustion on their faces, but they didn’t seem to be in any shock. There are a lot of areas that need to be improved upon, and we will be watching further, but I think we can rest assured for now.
