NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32: (1)
Kaiyan closed his eyes and opened them again, wondering if he had misheard.
‘…Judging by his expression, he seems serious.’
Tarien’s explanation, which cut off before and after, didn’t provide a clear understanding of the situation.
He couldn’t grasp why they had to go to Panielun when they were perfectly fine in the peaceful Gami-an Plain.
“…Are you talking about The Panielun Fortress?”
Panielun Fortress, also known as the Grand Canyon.
It was another feature that distinguished it as the place where monster waves occurred.
“Yes, that’s right. We are going there to provide support. This is a tremendous undertaking! Hehe.”
Kaiyan wondered what was so amusing about it.
He felt an urge to punch that smug face. Moving to a different location, especially to Panielun, at a time when there were only 10 days left in the war? It completely disrupted the plans he had made.
“…Of all places, Panielun? What the hell is going on? Sigh….”
Kaiyan sighed involuntarily, feeling a sense of injustice and absurdity.
He had planned to settle down in Gami-an Plain and comfortably level up, but now they were going to Panielun? If that happened, all his plans would be completely ruined.
“…The biggest problem is…”
Even if he had to accept the time consumed by moving to Panielun, the question remained: How would he level up?
“What can I do in the Grand Canyon?”
Panielun, also known as the Grand Canyon, was completely different from Gami-an Plain.
If the plain was focused on ground-based monsters, the Grand Canyon was created to deal with airborne monsters.
“Kaiyan, are you okay?”
“Ah, yes.”
Uncle Jeff’s words of comfort didn’t help much, even though his face seemed too gloomy.
Their perspectives were too different.
“Let’s go back for now. Sigh….”
“Yes, alright.”
To grow, Kaiyan needed to level up and to level up, he had to hunt monsters.
That meant he had to hunt monsters in Panielun to grow. The problem was that the monsters there flew in the air.
“How can I hunt flying monsters…?”
With a sword? With a spear? No, what Kaiyan needed was a bow. Yes, if he thought more broadly, even throwing spears could be possible.
But he couldn’t catch those creatures with a sword. At best, he could restrain those that descended from the air.
“No matter how much I think about it, leveling up will be impossible.”
Kaiyan would have been less disappointed if he hadn’t known about Panielun until they arrived.
“If what Uncle Max said is true… it will be difficult for me.”
Uncle Max, who lived in the same barracks, often told war stories whenever he had time. Among them, there was a story about Uncle Max participating as part of the Allied Forces in Panielun.
Kaiyan returned to the barracks, clutching his head and sitting on the bed.
“Is there no other way? Why did they suddenly decide to go there?”
As he squeezed his head, thoughts about how to hunt aerial monsters came to mind, but what came to mind more than the answer was anger towards Tarien.
If only Tarien wasn’t the commander of the 7th Special Unit. No, if the Orc Lord hadn’t appeared!
It was a decision already made by the commander, so there was nothing Kaiyan could do, but he was angry at the fact that he had to face the difficult task of hunting airborne monsters among the monsters that covered the Gami-an Plain.
“Should I learn archery now? Sigh… I need someone around who uses a bow to learn.”
Just as he had learned swordsmanship and shield techniques, it would have been easier if there was someone around who could teach him about bows, but unfortunately, there was no one around who even used ranged weapons, let alone a bow.
“It would have been nice if someone among the archers I trained with had been assigned to the Gami-an Plain.”
Among the archers he met at the training camp, they all left for Panielun instead of Gami-an Plain, unlike him.
It was unreasonable to just go find regular army archers and ask them to teach him how to shoot a bow.
“…Let’s think about it a little more.”
Perhaps his head realized it was an urgent situation.
His usually sluggish mind started working more actively than when he caught the Orc Lord.
“I wonder if there’s a way… Ah!”
As thoughts swirled in his head, a sudden idea came to mind.
“A shop.”
The all-purpose treasure trove, the player’s shop.
Why didn’t he think of it until now? The answer was so close that he wondered why he hadn’t thought of it.
“Hah, why didn’t I think of this? Plus, I have 1000G.”
Since the shop sells everything, it would naturally have archery as well. If there was no one to teach him, he could buy it and learn on his own. It was such a simple solution that he couldn’t believe he hadn’t thought of it.
He felt like he needed to seriously raise his intelligence stat. Of course, he hadn’t confirmed if increasing his stats actually made him smarter, but the shock of not considering the shop option was significant.
“…I need to broaden my ways of thinking. Show me the archery manuals.”
[Lowest/Low/Mid/High/Highest/Master]
As expected, archery was divided into various grades.
“Hmm… What should I do?”
His hand, which had been moving toward the lowest grade, hesitated.
If Kaiyan was short on G, he would have no choice but to choose the lowest grade, even if only slightly. But now he had an abundance of G.
“Can I catch airborne monsters with just a lowest-grade archery book?”
He pondered the question swirling in his head.
Unlike Gami-an Plain, he had never experienced fighting airborne monsters before, which made him concerned.
“I might eventually catch them, but… it seems like I will only be able to catch small monsters like goblins.”
With a good sword and various skills, he could handle mid-level monsters.
The fact that he was able to freely wander and move around the Gami-an Plain was thanks to a combination of various abilities. It was impossible with just swordsmanship alone.
However, can he make a significant impact in Panielun by just learning the lowest-grade archery?
“Hmm…”
No matter how hard he tried to think positively, the results were negative.
Most likely, the highest he could achieve is the performance of an ordinary soldier. And that’s not what he wants.
