Ogre-5
“chimera?”
Bern’s eyes opened wide after hearing the report. Rude explained to Bern what had happened in the forest. The whole time he was listening to the story, Bern looked at Lee Seong-min.
Although he single-handedly defeated the Ogre Chimera, Lee Seong-min did not have a single wound on his body.
To be honest, Bern did not think that Lee Seong-min could subdue the ogre on his own. A top expert from no class background. He thought that although the talent was real, he would lack practical experience.
So I sent Rude along. But when I heard the story, I heard that Rude didn’t even come forward and that Lee Seong-min subdued the ogre chimera alone. Bern, who was looking at Lee Seong-min’s face, opened his mouth.
“… “It got ambiguous.”
“yes?”
Seongmin Lee tilted his head at Bern’s words. Bern frowned while rubbing the bridge of his nose with his hand.
“Originally, when I returned from ogre subjugation, I was going to give you an S rank. But an ogre chimera… ”
“Why not give it to SS level?”
Rude, who was listening, expressed his opinion. He said as Bern sighed at those words.
“We can’t give you SS level easily.”
“I think subduing the Ogre Chimera alone is enough to give me SS rank.”
“It’s not up to me to decide on my own.”
As Bern said that, he glanced at Seongmin Lee.
“Of course, I think the performance itself is enough to give SS level. However, it is unprecedented to be assigned to SS level as soon as you join a mercenary guild. And the SS level is not something I can decide on my own.”
“I don’t mind.”
Seongmin Lee opened his mouth.
“I have no complaints even if I am assigned to the S class as you originally thought. “The grade can be raised by accumulating performance in the future.”
“… “Thank you for saying that.”
Bern nodded his head. If you get SS grade, you will be able to receive various conveniences, but it doesn’t seem necessary to go out of your way to get SS grade. Lee Seong-min also knows that raising the mercenary level requires performance. Even though the Ogre Chimera is a powerful monster, Bern would also be wary of this and that to immediately upgrade it to SS rank.
“In that case, let’s raise it to S-class as planned. And again… ”
Bern, who thought for a moment, nodded his head.
“As Rud said, subjugating the Ogre Chimera is a sufficient achievement to be promoted to SS level. “For various reasons, we just can’t raise you to SS level right away.”
“I know.”
“It’s because I feel sorry. therefore… you. Isn’t there any accommodation? Although I’m staying on the 4th floor, I’m sure there are quite a few inconveniences. So, I’ll give you a house.”
“yes?”
“It’s about the house. “I just happened to have an empty one.”
“Why are you pretending to be happy? “For no reason, you’re dealing with real estate and holding on to something that hasn’t even sold.”
As Rud grinned, Bern cleared his throat.
“Why are you saying things you don’t need to say?”
“I want to get some medicine.”
“greatness!”
Bern cleared his throat again and looked at Lee Seong-min.
“thing… It’s a pretty nice house. The neck is good too. Although it didn’t sell. Considering the market price, it is quite expensive… “You can use it yourself.”
“thank you.”
He wasn’t the type of person to refuse something. It was a car that I thought needed a home. Lodging and lodging at the mercenary guild wasn’t a bad idea, but I wanted a private training space.
“You’re not trying to repay the commission by giving me a house, are you?”
“Do I seem like such a ignorant person?”
Bern was impressed by Rud’s words. Bern opened the desk drawer.
“The request for ogre subjugation that the village proposed was 30 million Er. Originally, monsters like ogres start at 40 million er… This was a request I received because I needed to test your skills. Normally I would have ignored it.”
It was just as Lee Seong-min had thought. From his past memories, he had never heard of an ogre chimera. In Lee Seong-min’s past life, it seemed like the guild ignored the request to subdue the ogre.
“The guild takes a 10% commission on requests from S-class mercenaries. And for Rude… ”
“I don’t have to take it. Because nothing was done. “Let’s just say it was a nice sight.”
Rud smiled and waved his hand. In this way, the compensation returned to Lee Seong-min was 27 million er. Bern immediately wrote a check worth the amount to Lee Seong-min and gave it to him.
“It’s a check that can be used anywhere in the area. But don’t carry around a check. “It would be easier to leave it to the bank to create a card.”
“thank you.”
As he looked down at the check he received, Seongmin Lee felt complicated. 27 million er. This is because it was an unrealistic amount. When he was a C-class mercenary, the requests Seongmin Lee received were at most 1 million Er. However, he did not always receive such requests. There were plenty of mercenaries, and there were few requests. There were many C-class mercenaries in the mercenary group that Seong-min Lee belonged to. As a result, he was not always able to receive requests.
And making a request is not always easy or convenient. The money he earned was squandered by drinking alcohol and buying women.
At one time, I even thought about saving money. Save money, learn better martial arts, and learn magic. The hope that if you do that, you might be able to change your situation. Of course, I didn’t finish it. Savings and frugality were not things that suited the life of a mercenary at all.
‘The money I earned through hard work for a year… You get S rank in one go.’
It wasn’t realistic, but this was reality. Seongmin Lee put the received check in his arms.
“The location of the mansion is… ”
“If you draw a map, I will find it on my own.”
“… Would you mind? It’s quite a complicated road. “Behenger is wide.”
“it’s okay.”
This is the city I spent the longest time in my previous life. It hasn’t changed much, so you can get there if you have directions. Bern, who was scratching his cheek, took out paper and a pen. Soon after, Bern drew a map and handed it over to Lee Seong-min.
“It’s here. “The key is here.”
Seongmin Lee received the key and directions from Bern and left the room. Bern glanced at the closed door and then shifted his gaze towards Rude.
“How was it?”
“It would be better for you to see it yourself rather than for me to tell you.”
“Then show me.”
At those words, Rud pulled a chair and sat down in front of Bern. Bern lifted the staff he had placed behind him and pursed his lips. Then he stretched out his other hand and placed it on Rud’s head.
“… “Umm.”
Bern, who caught a glimpse of Rud’s memory, let out a small groan. He put down the staff he was holding and sighed.
“surely. “I don’t have the skills to put you in the S class.”

“Didn’t I tell you? “It would be better to just raise him to SS level.”
“Let me make a suggestion.”
Bern answered. Although he was the head of the branch of the Behenger Mercenary Guild, that did not mean Bern was the pinnacle of power here. There are many mercenaries in Behenger. The role of guild and branch leaders is not to manage them, but rather to dominate them. Rather, the leaders of large mercenary groups had stronger influence than the branch leader Bern.
“Zeon must be greedy.”
Bern muttered in a low voice.
The house that Bern handed over to Lee Seong-min was too big for him to live in alone. The walls of the spacious one-story house were high, and it was not far from the mercenary guild. Lee Seong-min opened the door with the key and came in. The first thing he did was check the garden.
It wasn’t maintained very well and was overgrown with weeds, but Lee Seong-min didn’t care. Whether weeds grew or not was none of Lee Seong-min’s business. Lee Seong-min had no intention of taking care of the garden anyway.
‘It’s spacious.’
This is my first time living in a house like this. The life of an S-class mercenary was unrealistic in many ways. But you will soon get used to it.
Although it was a bit odd that it was an open space, Lee Seong-min felt satisfied with having a private space. From now on, you will just have to practice singing here every day. But before that. Seongmin Lee opened a subspace pocket.
The spear I was carrying as a spare was mostly used in this ogre subjugation. It wasn’t too disappointing. This is because the spear that Seongmin Lee used was a cheap weapon that could be easily obtained anywhere.
‘I happen to have money.’
There is no need to spend money right away. I thought about buying an elixir or a martial arts book with the money I had, but I didn’t have enough money to buy an elixir. However, I wasn’t that reluctant to buy a military certificate. This is because I have not yet properly mastered Gucheonmugeukchang, Jahasingong, and Muyeongtalhon. Singing, Naegongsimbeop, Bobeop. Since I possessed the three most important martial arts, it was natural for me to not be greedy for other martial arts.
“Nevel.”
Seongmin Lee quietly called Nevel. Then, Nevel stood up from Lee Seong-min’s shadow. Nevel said to Lee Seong-min, bowing his head.
“What’s going on?”
“We need weapons.”
“Do you want to buy it? Or production?”
“Which is better?”
Seongmin Lee asked. Nevel smiled and said those words.
“Each has its pros and cons. If you want to buy it, we can give you the best item for the price. But isn’t there such a thing as taste? The weapon you use must fit your hand. No matter how good a weapon is, it’s inevitable that it’s not your taste or doesn’t fit your hand.”
“Then let’s look at the production side first.”
“How much budget do you have?”
“27 million er.”
“Not much.”
Nevel answered. Lee Seong-min was inwardly dumbfounded by those words. 27 million er isn’t even your dog’s name.
“The blacksmiths we work with all have the best skills. Therefore, the price is bound to be expensive.”
“How can you not guess?”
“It’s not difficult. Could you please lower your eyes a little, or… “Would you please lower your pride?”
“… Pride?”
Seongmin Lee tilted his head at Nevel’s words. Nevel chuckled and continued.
“Isn’t that what artisans are? I am stubborn and have strong pride. As a result, there are many people with terrible personalities. As I said before, the blacksmiths we serve as brokers all have the best skills, but… “Because skill and personality are not proportional.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as you are confident in your skills.”
“Please wait a moment.”
With those words, Nevel disappeared into Lee Seong-min’s shadow. Although he was using all the money he received, he did not feel like it was a waste.
Lee Seong-min in his previous life also used a spear, but even back then, the weapons he used were always cheap weapons. For Lee Seong-min, a C-level mercenary, weapons were always those things. He just needs to be able to swing and stab any weapon, good or bad. Rather than spending money on weapons, he thought that the only thing left was to return after completing the request, drink better wine, and hug a more expensive woman.
But it was different now. It was a desire I hadn’t had in a long time.
I wanted to try holding this good weapon for once.
