Worthless Regression Chapter 22

————————————==

Purpose-1

Zenavis’ mercenary guild branch leader.

In his previous life, Seongmin Lee had never visited the Zenabis Mercenary Guild. He wasn’t even up to it and he didn’t intend to. It was after leaving Zenavis that Lee Seong-min visited the mercenary guild and became an official mercenary.

‘I knew it.’

But I wasn’t embarrassed. Perhaps Do Sang-ryang was simply posting a request report, but there was some noise in this request. Subjugation of the Orc colony. It is a very important request at the level of Zenabis’ mercenary guild.

And noise.

Rather than being dismissed as a simple report, it probably went up to the guild branch leader, and the branch manager became interested.

14 years old.

Murim people.

Martial people are not common in Aria. Right now, even just the amount of food is a shaman.

However, martial people with potential as mercenaries are not common.

“You’re young.”

When Seongmin Lee entered the branch manager’s office, the first thing he heard was that evaluation. From the moment I opened the door, there was a smell of stale cigarettes. Sitting across the desk was a middle-aged man wearing thick glasses that did not match his large muscles.

“My name is Dox, and I am the branch leader of the Zenabis Mercenary Guild.”

“… “This is Seongmin Lee.”

Seongmin Lee said as he took the gun. Doxx looked at Lee Seong-min’s face and said.

“There are many things I want to ask. Let me ask you something first. “Why did you lie?”

“… yes?”

“You are not a martial artist.”

Dox tapped the glasses on the bridge of her nose with her fingertips.

“Do you understand the artifact?”

“… “Roughly.”

The term for an item with a spell is an artifact. Seongmin Lee’s subspace pocket can be said to be the most representative artifact.

“These glasses are of the same type. If you use it, you can find out the other person’s occupation. What is your job? No class. “It’s a story that’s hard to believe.”

Dox muttered. Although he was a little surprised, Lee Seong-min did not show it too much. If you get caught, you get caught. You shouldn’t panic and be unable to control your emotions over each of these things.

“No class learned martial arts… what. It’s not a hard story to believe. Isn’t it popular among Noclasses recently? Skeletal remodeling surgery at a disease-free osteopathic center. It would be possible to get martial arts skills and learn martial arts there.”

“… “You know very well.”

Seongmin Lee sighed. He had to do that.

“Why did you lie?”

“I did it because I thought you wouldn’t understand.”

Seongmin Lee answered. Dox nodded his head.

“I guess so. Actually, I am like that too. you. “How many months has it been since you came to Zenabis?”

“… Are you interrogating me now? I don’t think I did anything wrong to be questioned… ”

“Oh, I see. I apologize for that. It’s not my place to interrogate you. “You are not in a position to be interrogated by me.”

Dox admitted his mistake with a solemn expression. Although it seemed surprising to see Doxx’s large size, it was not to Lee Seong-min. Not all mercenaries are damned. Of course, there is a high probability that he is damned, but being the branch leader of the city mercenary guild means that he is a person with great common sense.

‘There are a lot of mercenary leaders in the guild who are assholes.’

It’s a past experience. Lee Seong-min was also a mercenary.

“I just found it odd that you lied. what… It’s not that I don’t understand it, but it is. Well, let’s ignore that. “It’s not that important.”

Dox muttered that and put his hand under the desk. Then he took out a white paper bag.

“The reward for subjugating the orc village is 2 million er. however… Trouble has become entangled. There are two survivors. We decided to give 100,000 Er to each of the apprentice mercenaries, and split 1.8 million Er with you. That’s what Dosangryang said. “Thanks to you, we were able to successfully subdue the orc colony and kill two assholes.”

Those words were a little surprising. I never thought Do Sang-ryang would say that. Honestly, Lee Seong-min thought Do Sang-ryang would emphasize his contribution in this matter.

“Do Sangryang also agreed. I decided to give you 1 million er, and Dosangryang would receive 800,000 er. Also, speaking of distribution of loot… Even after taking the sales commission, it will come out to 600,000 er. For this too, you will receive 400,000 er.”

“… Is it okay for you to do that?”

“It doesn’t matter to me. “That’s what Do Sang-ryang said.”

Dox shrugged his shoulders and said.

“I’m going to stop talking about this and get to the point.”

“yes?”

Seongmin Lee pretended not to know. Even though he said that, Seongmin Lee knew very well what Doxx had called him to say.

“you. “Are you planning on becoming a mercenary?”

This is it.

“Do Sang-ryang said. You have skills that are somewhere between second-class and first-class, close to top-notch. That’s very surprising. “It would be even more surprising if you were a Noh class and not a martial artist.”

Dox fiddled with the glasses she had put down.

“Especially since you are so young. “If he continues to grow like this, he will easily enter the top tier, and depending on his effort and talent, he may even become a top expert.”

“… Right… “Did you?”

Seongmin Lee quietly answered. It probably won’t be that easy, but Lee Seong-min will be a great genius in the eyes of Dogs, who don’t know that Lee Seong-min is a regressor. Even though that is not the case.

“If you become a mercenary, I will first assign you a D rank. If you complete a few requests, you will naturally rise to C rank, and if you reach the top level, you will also reach B rank. “How is it?”

Doxx recommended. Seongmin Lee was silent for a moment. It’s not a bad suggestion. If he becomes a D-class mercenary, he can earn a decent salary even if he does not complete the quest.

“… Thank you for the suggestion, but… ”

But Lee Seong-min refused. He shouldn’t be a mercenary just yet. What he is aiming for is the Holy Spirit Dan, the winning prize for the No Class Fight that will be held in half a year. You need to eat it and increase your internal energy to be able to move forward with certainty. If he becomes a mercenary, he cannot compete in a no-class fight.

“It’s a shame.”

When Seongmin Lee refused, Dox nodded his head. Without offering any more advice, he handed Lee Seong-min an envelope containing money.

“If you change your mind, come back anytime.”

“… thank you.”

Seongmin Lee put the money he received into his arms. Dox looked at Lee Seong-min in silence and muttered something in passing.

“It’s not for your age.”

“yes?”

“Not like a 14 year old. Well, events can change people. “Even if it were me, I would have turned away if I had been summoned to Eria at a young age.”

Dox seemed to have been convinced that way. Seongmin Lee smiled bitterly and left the mercenary guild.

‘I should either grow old quickly or something.’

Even if everything else was the same, pretending to be a child was the most difficult.

*“Why are you so late?”

When I entered Jack’s inn, I heard grumbling. It was Wijihoyeon. She was sitting at her table and looking at Lee Seong-min with a sullen face. Seongmin Lee noticed the cold food on the plate in front of Wijihoyeon.

“Why didn’t you eat it first?”

“Why do you eat alone when you have friends?”

“You can eat it… ”

Are you saying that if you have friends, you shouldn’t eat alone? Seongmin Lee wanted to rebut Wijihoyeon’s strange logic, but he held back his feelings.

“I smell blood.”

Seongmin Lee sat in front of Wijihoyeon. Wiji Hoyeon muttered while twitching the tip of her nose.

“You killed someone. “What happened?”

“It’s no big deal. “Because someone is trying to kill me.”

“okay?”

Wijihoyeon didn’t seem to have much interest in him. She picked up her cold bread, tore it, dipped it into the equally cold soup, and put it in her mouth.

“I thought about it.”

Lura brought dinner to Lee Seong-min. When Lee Seong-min picked up the fork, Wijihoyeon’s mouth opened.

“It will take about a month at best to modify the Gucheonmugeukchang to suit you. I’ll pass it on to you, and if you feel like you’ve laid some groundwork… “I am leaving.”

Seongmin Lee’s hand, which was moving the fork, stopped.

“… okay?”

“why. “Do you regret it?”

“… “I don’t want to stop you.”

Lee Seong-min sighed and muttered. In his previous life, Wijihoyeon stayed at Zenabis for only a month. The reason why Wijihoyeon is staying at Zenavis longer is purely because of Lee Seong-min.

“I thought about it.”

Wijihoyeon spoke again.

“You have a purpose. Your immediate goal is to obtain the elixir called the Holy Spirit Altar. After that you will leave Zenavis. until then. “How about I wait for you and leave together?”

Seongmin Lee was unfazed. This is because Wijihoyeon had some idea of ​​what to say next.

“But it shouldn’t be like that. why. Do you think so?”

“Because I won’t be of any help.”

Seongmin Lee answered. That was the correct answer for Lee Seong-min. Lee Seong-min is weak. no talent On the other hand, what about Wijihoyeon? She is a genius, and she is learning new techniques to perfect her genius.

“Wrong.”

Wijihoyeon answered. Her eyes grew cold.

“I really don’t like that side of you.”

Wijihoyeon spat out.

“… “What do you mean?”

“complex.”

Wijihoyeon’s voice was as cold as ice, and his words were like blades. Lee Seong-min’s answer was the wrong answer for Wijihoyeon, but Wijihoyeon’s words became the correct answer for Lee Seongmin. The word ‘inferiority’ tore through Lee Seong-min’s heart and made his emotions sink heavily.

“Because it didn’t help? Is that why you think I’m leaving you? “Why do you think that?”

“Because it’s true that I can’t help.”

“okay. you are weak If you come with me, I will have to protect you. But that’s not why I’m leaving you behind.”

Wijihoyeon’s eyes narrowed. A sharp, piercing eye light flashed.

“If I’m around, you can’t grow.”

If Lee Seong-min goes with Wijihoyeon, Wijihoyeon will solve any difficulties Lee Seongmin encounters.

“The memories of your past life are acting as an inferiority complex and are holding you back. It’s not good. That disgusting sense of inferiority creates self-deprecation and wears you out.”

“… “What on earth do you want to say?”

“Know for sure. “The one you have made as a friend is Wijihoyeon, the Little Heavenly Demon of the Demonic Cult.”

Wijihoyeon’s voice was powerful. Her voice was low, but she clearly penetrated Lee Seong-min’s emotions.

“The Jahashingong that you learned is one of the best Shingongjeolhak, and the Gucheonmugeukchang that you will learn is also a martial art that I heard was the best singing method in the Jungwon martial arts world where I lived. “I am taking apart and repairing the Nine Heavens’ Heavenly Spear for you.”

“… It was always you who said my talent was inferior. No matter how high the level of martial arts you teach, there is no guarantee that I will be able to master them properly.”

“Have you tried it?”

Wijihoyeon asked.

“Are you talking about memories from your past life? “Did you give me such a firm answer that it would be impossible?”

“… Understanding the topic rather than having hope and being betrayed… ”

“That’s an inferiority complex.”

“You don’t know. “Because he’s a genius.”

Seongmin Lee said sarcastically.

“How can a genius understand someone who is not a genius?”

“right. “Because I am a genius, I cannot fully understand you.”

Wijihoyeon acknowledged that.

“But I just don’t like the way you whine and feel inferior without even trying. Do you think I am irresponsible?”

“huh.”

“I saw it right. “I am that kind of person.”

f*ck you. What on earth do you want to say? Lee Seong-min chewed his lower lip and glared at Wizzy Ho-yeon.

“Let go of the idea that everything will be the same as before. “You started from scratch, and aren’t you already living in a different direction from your previous life?”

“The country does not change the essence of human beings.”

“no. “Humans change.”

Wijihoyeon immediately denied Lee Seong-min’s words.

“I too have changed. There is no need to call it a past life. I have changed from the days when I was the leader of a demonic religion. “The months I spent here changed me.”

Lee Seong-min does not know Wi Ji-ho-yeon from the time when he was the leader of the Demonic Cult. However, Wijihoyeon knew when he was first summoned to Eria.

“Even if you lived for 13 years in your previous life and died, it may be different in this life. What you experienced in your past life is different from what you experience now, and what you experienced in your past life is different from what you experience now. “If the experiences are different, how can the results be the same?”

Seongmin Lee’s mouth closed. He couldn’t argue. I was speechless at what 13-year-old Wijihoyeon said.

“Talent.”

Wijihoyeon shook his head.

“You can’t receive what you don’t have. … still. You can’t do anything with an inferiority complex. first of all. you.”

Wijihoyeon raised his hand and pointed at Seongmin Lee.

“You need a purpose. I said it last time too. “You’re starting over again, what do you want to do?”

“It was like that.”

“At that time, you answered like this. I want to live a better life than my previous life. Yeah, that’s really easy. No matter what you do right now, it will be better than your previous life. however. “You won’t be satisfied with that.”

It was correct. Not satisfied. Even if there is no specific purpose, people are like that. Because I know what will happen in the future and what opportunities will arise. That’s why Lee Seong-min is even less satisfied.

“I gain strength by getting opportunities. But actually, you are not thinking about what you will do with that power. Isn’t this actually the case? “Somewhere in the back of your mind, you’re thinking that your life isn’t going so well.”

Lee Seong-min’s mouth opened for a rebuttal, but then closed again. I couldn’t deny it.

“of course. You will try hard to become what you think. With a vague sense of purpose. So, you need a proper, clear purpose.”

“… “What is your purpose?”

Lee Seong-min asked while sighing. In response to that question, Wijihoyeon placed his hand on his chest without hesitation.

“me.”

Wijihoyeon answered with a powerful voice.

“Make me your goal.”

It was a very misleading statement.
