Became the middle boss’s childhood friend (103)
For Kang Han-byeol, Dugui Seo Jeong-jin was like a benefactor, teacher, and father who saved her from the abyss of despair when she became an orphan after losing her family at a young age.
It is a natural and understandable trend for him to enter the academy and dream of becoming the strongest hunter in order to spread his teacher’s name to the world.
There is a good possibility that he, like Yong Yong-rang, admires the strong, helps the weak, does not lose hope, is full of passion, and has an aggressive personality.
‘In some ways, it’s a character that would appear in a typical shonen cartoon.’
Therefore, it was not strange that Kang Han-byeol suddenly asked me to spar.
As I entered the school in the second place, it was natural that he would see my abilities and be seen as someone to help me grow.
In particular, I was a member of the Divine Sword Taoist school, belonging to one of the ten families that Seo Jeong-jin recognized as his opponents.
It’s something he’ll be interested in.
therefore.
“Now that you’ve finished eating, let’s go spar!”
The sparring between Kang Han Byeol and I was successful.
Kang Han-byeol had an expectant look on her face the whole time she was eating lunch, thinking about sparring with me.
To put it mildly, as soon as we got out of lunch, he was begging me to go to sparring.
People in the restaurant, including me, who knew something about him, couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Except for Yong Yong-rang, whose personality overlaps a lot with his.
“Maybe it’s because he’s a disciple of Lord Tougwi, so he seems to know something! I feel empty without sparring after eating! “Sparring after a meal is a man’s skill!”
“Oh, that’s right! “Sparring after eating feels good!”
“Kang Han-byeol! Let’s compete with Do Gyeon-woo today, and next time, let’s compete with me!”
“Okay, that’s what I hoped for. “I wanted to say it even if I didn’t have to, but it turned out well.”
This is a conversation that treats sparring as if it were something to do after a meal.
Yong Yong-rang and Kang Han-byeol showed off their chemistry well, just like in the game.
I decided to calm them down, as they were in good spirits from the first meeting.
“wait. “It’s not good for your body to move right after eating, so let’s go for a walk and digest it a bit.”
“Well, if you want to spar at your best, it might be better. okay!”
“It’s not wrong.”
The two obediently followed.
We each grabbed a drink and decided to walk nearby for a while to digest.
Me, Yeon Ha-neul, Go Eun-bi, Lisa, Min A-rin, Yong Yong-rang, Park Ja-gun, Kang Han-byeol, triplets.
Since there were 11 people, there was no stopping the topic midway.
“But what’s wrong with you? “I thought you would skip it just because you were going to study like yesterday.”
Not getting along with other people.
Min A-rin was walking next to me.
I said, squinting at the red hair hanging below my shoulders.
She made a humming sound and tossed her hair behind her shoulder.
“Can you please stop talking like I made excuses and got away with it? “Did you really go study yesterday?”
He responded as if she was telling him not to be arrogant.
However, judging from Min A-rin’s personality and her attitude of not trying to get closer to us than necessary, my conclusion is probably correct.
Why is she devoting so much time to us, which to her is unproductive time?
“Is it because of Hanbyul?”
“… .”
Considering Min A-rin’s family history, we can’t help but think that way.
It wasn’t difficult to guess.
Judging by her momentary shock, it seems like she was right.
I lightly shrugged my shoulders.
“I guess your family also mentioned something about Hanbyeol. That’s why I want you to watch it now.”
“Isn’t that the same for you too?”
“That’s right, me too.”
After completing the entrance exam.
No, since the evaluation meeting five years ago.
Every time I attended a family gathering, I heard Kang Han-byeol’s name from my grandfather.
Every time, my grandfather said:
―Gyeonwoo, when you meet that guy’s disciple, flatten his nose.
-haha… . Yes, matriarch.
―Shinken Taoism never loses. So I believe it, Gyeonwoo.
Just like Seo Jeong-jin, my grandfather recognized him as an opponent.
As a result, the sense of competition against each other naturally crossed generations and was bound to be passed on to our generation.
The situation will be the same for the other ten families as it is for us.
Just as I received a request from my grandfather, it was clear that direct descendants of the Ten Families, such as Min A-rin, also received a request.
It was easy to understand her situation.
Although Yongyangrang is a person who lives according to what his heart tells him to do, he probably received a hint from the head of the chivalry Yongga.
‘It’s also a part of the game.’
That was when I thought so.
Suddenly, I felt a stinging gaze from the other side.
“… .”
“… what’s the matter?”
With a face that looks somewhat sullen.
The soft sky staring at me.

Feeling burdened by her gaze, I asked cautiously.
She narrowed her red eyes and opened her mouth.
“No, just.”
“… .”
“You two, let’s talk. “Don’t worry about me.”
Judging by Yeon Ha-neul as someone who majored in psychology for 5 years.
I felt like I was sulking because I had neglected her and had a conversation with Min A-rin alone.
“Did we talk about family too much? Sorry, the story is over now.”
“Chii.”
To soothe the upset Yeon Ha-neul.
I changed the conversation to a topic she might like.
At some point, her face softened, and her rabbit ears started jumping.
“Hmm… .”
Min A-rin also mixed words from time to time.
* * *
The training center is one of the facilities that guarantees autonomous training for students and provides various conveniences related to training.
We visited the training center to find a suitable place to spar.
“I haven’t made a reservation. Is it okay? “Isn’t there no room?”
“Iknow, right. I heard that it is not easy to use it on the day because the competition for reservations is fierce, but I am not sure if it will be okay… .”
Go Eun-bi and Lisa expressed concerns.
As they said, the facilities at the polishing center were so popular that it was difficult to use them without making a reservation in advance.
But that’s simply the case when making reservations in general.
The story is different when you use coins.
“If there are no seats, you can use coins. “It’s a coin I saved up to use in times like this.”
The facilities at the polishing center are divided into those that can be used by general reservation and those that can be used using coins.
In the former case, competition for reservations is fierce, but in the latter case, it is not.
There was enough room to make a reservation on the same day.
I was thinking of using coins if there were no facilities available.
There were a lot of coins anyway.
“ah! “I think there’s room for you?”
“Maybe it’s because it’s the beginning of the semester and there are no afternoon classes, and it’s daytime. “I just got lucky.”
Fortunately, there were a few vacant rooms without the need to use coins.
I looked at the facility usage status board behind Go Eun-bi and Park.
“Eunbi, please reserve one for me.”
“Okay, I’ll pick the best place for you. Believe me.”
Reservations were made with just a few clicks of a button.
After taking the card from the machine, I headed to the sparring hall with the others.
The sparring hall was relatively large.
There was now a space where movement would not be difficult.
“Wow, there are places like this… . Training will be worthwhile.”
“Make sure to use it often from now on. Of course, don’t forget to make a reservation.”
“huh. Gyeonwoo, then hurry up… .”
“First, relax your body. And I want someone to be the referee… .”
“I will do that.”
“Yes, Sagun, you are the judge.”
“Please leave the treatment of your wounds to me. But don’t fight too hard. Spalling should be sparring. “You both understand, right?”
“I know. Please.”
It is a little later in the game that Kang Han-byeol learns about Hwa-gwan.
As a result, he was amazed at the facility he was using for the first time.
Today was my first time too.
Anyway, I warmed up lightly before sparring.
‘Good. Even without that, I wanted to check Kang Han-byeol’s skills.’
In the game, it was the player who moved the strong star.
Although other party members had the ability to fight autonomously, it did not exist for him.
From beginning to end, his battle depended solely on the player.
If a player’s skill is excellent, his skill is also excellent; conversely, if the player’s skill is poor, his skill is also poor.
In other words, Kanghan Byul’s combat style was consistent with the player’s combat style.
Therefore, I needed to check the skills of Kang Han-byeol, who lives in a world without players.
‘Still, the basic abilities are certain, so you can have reasonable expectations.’
You don’t even have to look at the status window.
Of course, I remembered Kanghan Byeol’s initial abilities.
I looked at him warming up in front of me.
When our eyes met, he smiled knowingly at me.
I replaced it with a nod.
“Do you think you like him that much?”
“Hanbyeol?”
“huh. “I feel like you’re softer toward him than other kids.”
At that time, the soft sky came to me.
She was standing next to me with her back to me, with strong stars in her eyes.
It seemed like he was curious as to why I was interested in Kang Han-byeol.
‘It’s a new feeling.’
Yeon Ha-neul, the Witch of Disaster, was originally supposed to be a mid-boss.
However, she, who became my childhood friend, will no longer be a villain, but a party member of Kang Han Byeol like Nana, Go Eun-bi, Lisa, Yong Yong-rang and others.
As I glanced sideways at her standing next to me and looked at the strong star in front of me, I felt a renewed sense of reality.
I advised her.
“He’s strong, he’s strong, he’s a good kid. So, let’s be friendly.”
“If you say so, that’s what it is. But you know.”
“why?”
“Are you interested in men?”
“… what?”
“No, not even now… . The way you look at him from earlier was unusual. “It’s not like you like men or anything like that, right?”
“her… .”
What is he saying all of a sudden?
I turned my gaze away from Kang Han Byeol and frowned.
Yeon Ha-neul was waiting for an answer.
I don’t know what the misunderstanding was, but I couldn’t help but sigh.
I decided to tell you clearly.
“I like women. I just like him as a friend. “Young Ha-neul, you’ve known me for five years and you don’t even know that I like women?”
“No, I know you like girls.”
“Then why are you asking?”
“I want to know for sure.”
“… .”
“Hmm, I see. Gyeonwoo, you like women.”
“Why are you asking the obvious and laughing?”
“No, just… . “Because I like it.”
“… .”
“I like men too, a lot.”
“… “I know.”
“Do you really like women too?”
“Yes, it’s very bright.”
“You’re a pervert, pervert.”
“Then you’re a pervert too.”
“Chii. “It will be more than you”
“What are you talking about? “You’re better than me, right?”
… What on earth is so good?
Yeon Ha-neul looks at me and chuckles.
I felt embarrassed and avoided her gaze.
“Anyway, I’m going to spar, so stay in the corner with the other kids. “Don’t get caught up in bad luck.”
“Yes, I will. cheer up.”
“Yes, please support me if I win.”
Kang Han-byeol, who had finished warming up, was waiting for me.
I walked toward him, leaving behind Yeon Ha-neul’s cheering.
“There are no set rules. I just hope that each other can freely demonstrate their skills, but not do anything that would prick their conscience. The act of killing… I think you know even if I don’t tell you. “The sparring will begin when the alarm sounds,” explained Bakak-gun, who was in charge of the referee.
Kang Han-byeol and I nodded, grabbed our swords, and took a stance.
Strong Star’s sword caught the ceiling light and scattered light, and my sword also scattered light in ultramarine blue.
“Your sword is really cool. Even at first glance, I can see that it is not an ordinary sword.”
“It’s called a military sword. This sword is considered a family treasure. “Now I have a semi-permanent rental.”
“It wasn’t an ordinary sword after all. Hmm, I want it… .”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t plan on passing this off as a betting reward. “It’s a precious sword to me.”
“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do about it. “You can’t steal something from a friend.”
Kang Han-byeol’s teacher, Tugui Seo Jeong-jin.
He had a quirk that was unknown to the world and only known to those in the know.
It is the looting of weapons.
He knew how to use all kinds of weapons, and would steal the weapons of opponents he had defeated in a duel, either because he liked it or as a souvenir.
Regardless of hunter or villain.
‘That’s why, among those in the know, he is called the plunder king, not the fighting spirit.’
Seo Jeong-jin, the king of plunder.
People who have had their weapons taken away by him are said to tremble just by hearing his name.
This is why there are many enemies around him.
‘I will feel ashamed if my country is taken away…’ .’
There is no way Kanghanbyeol, who learned and grew up under that plunder king, would be so kind.
As if to prove that he was a disciple of the plunder king, he could not use any weapons.
The proof is that he coveted the county prosecutor’s office.
He was a weapons enthusiast and a potential plunder king.
‘The only thing better than Seo Jeong-jin is that he knows how to control himself.’
Just as I reaped my desire for the military sword.
Kang Han Byeol never coveted his colleagues’ weapons.
His quirk was limited to those who messed with him or villains.
I knew how to keep the line.
yet.
Bleep!
The signal for sparring rang.
