Grow With In-App Purchases

“Sueuu~ haa…!”

After waking up at a waterfall late at night, Rebecca returned straight to her lodgings.

The academy faculty quarters provided a very spacious and comfortable environment.

I came into the dorm as I was accustomed to, and immediately laid down a mat and took a cross-legged position to breathe.

“Sueuuu~ Haa…!”

The royal family’s special breathing method, which was taught to them by their father when they were young.

Rebecca used to do it as a habit whenever she was lonely or had nothing to do.

Then my heart would be at peace, and the raging vengeful spirit would subside a little.

“It’s been six years already.”

It’s already been 6 years since I went to the academy as a faculty member.

However, this year was a bit special for her.

If it wasn’t for the day I was seriously injured, I would have continued to be active in the army, and today is exactly the 10th year.

‘It took six years to recover from the wound.’

It reminds me of the days when I was frustrated to see that my skills were regressing rather than improving.

Rehabilitation training was much more difficult and arduous than training when I was a student.

Of course, training to regain lost strength and training to grow are inevitably different from the heart.

It was a difficult journey, and I never imagined that it would take six years.

‘Let’s just do it until this year.’

Although he has not grown as much as he did six years ago, he has succeeded in restoring his former strength.

That alone was enough reason for Rebecca to head back to the battlefield in the contaminated area.

You must come back quickly and make a contribution to subjugate the desert kingdom from the state.

The more powerful she is, the more credits she makes, the more the country will not be able to ignore Rebecca’s request.

‘It’s already too late.’

Of course, that doesn’t mean giving up.

She could never give up rebuilding the desert kingdom.

Being chased, they had to leave the kingdom in a hurry, and as a result, the people of the kingdom were scattered.

‘Wait a little longer. I’ll be sure to succeed and pick you up!’

Even in order to bring them back together and return to the desert kingdom, she could never give up on returning.

Set up a ball and reclaim the desert.

That was Rebecca’s lifelong goal and a long-cherished wish that must be fulfilled.

“I need to find a way to grow for the rest of the year…”

My current skills are not bad, but I had a strong desire to return to the military with improved skills compared to before, saying that a red skirt would be worth the same price.

However, even if I did the breathing method my father taught me, my skills did not grow, and even if I trained hard, my body that had reached its limit did not grow.

“With academy training… I’m sure there’s no way.”

I could do anything to improve my skills.

However, the academy prefers a way to safely grow while protecting students.

‘Now I need practical experience. Even if it’s to regain all the old senses.’

Physical abilities may have returned to their former state, but the sense of battle had not yet been revived.

‘How can I revive the sense of battle at the academy?’

The real combat she was talking about was a life-and-death battle in the contaminated area.

If only there was a way to get rid of it…

“Is there a teacher worthy of a confrontation?”

There was nothing but a 1:1 confrontation with a person.

Rebecca recalled her list of teachers and began to plan how she would spend the rest of the semester.

With the conviction that all you need to grow is combat experience.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

I did the second confirmed SSR draw at the Falls of Fortune, and a character called Rebecca, who seemed more communicative than Light Years, was summoned.

The situation itself isn’t bad.

Isn’t it a character that doesn’t have to be newly drawn?

Of course, he had Fran’s unique equipment, but…

‘What do you want from a pseudo-church without money? I’m sure they’ll try to take it by force.’

So choosing Rebecca was a real relief for me.

Besides, I even remembered Rebecca’s scenario in great detail.

‘If you ask me to buy unique equipment, I will never refuse. Because he’s a person who can do anything to grow.’

Even if it was high heels sold by a suspicious man, she would buy them.

‘Will Rebecca show possessiveness as soon as she sees high heels, just like Shine did?’

It was not possible to generalize only in the case of Shine.

After carefully examining Rebecca’s reaction, I decided to think about how to approach Fran’s unique equipment, ‘Holy Relic’.

“The question is how to approach Rebecca.”

The problem was how to approach Rebecca, the academy teacher.

If I’m wrong, they might hand me over to the guards, saying I’m a suspicious person.

As a stranger, can I buy this while sticking out my high heels? If yes, the woman is happy! How likely are you to answer yes?

So it was important how Rebecca reacted when she saw her unique equipment.

“If you had Shine, it would be perfect if he asked me to introduce you to Rebecca.”

The easiest way was to ask Shine to make contact with Rebecca, but she hadn’t been to the Polluted Zone for a long time, so I couldn’t ask.

You’re probably hitting hard in a polluted area where lives come and go by now.

“Should I just wait in front of the academy?”

It was the method I used on Shine, and although I was ignorant, it definitely had an effect.

If you wait patiently, won’t Rebecca come to the school gate someday?

However, this method took too long, and it was not usually difficult to wait aimlessly.

It is a job to minimize what you eat, sleep, and cheap and put all your nerves in front of the academy gate.

‘If you don’t want to arouse suspicion from the guards guarding the main gate of the academy, you have to kill them too.’

When I was waiting for Shine, I promised myself not to do this again, but it wasn’t long after I thought about it that I did it again.

‘It shouldn’t have come out of there.’

If it had been another normal student instead of Fran, I would have been able to make contact with Rebecca naturally by selling unique equipment to that student.

However, the person who should have played the role of a middle bridge was all twisted because Gwangnyeon appeared.

My brows are furrowed at the dissatisfaction with Gwangnyeon again…

Knock Knock

“Excuse me…”

“?”

Someone came into my general store.

There’s no way an ordinary customer would come to my general store, so I stare at the door curiously, and something white flicks through the cautiously open door.

‘Is that a light year?’

Is there anyone other than Gwangnyeon who shows off his presence with flowing white hair?

There will be no angler who will not be happy to accept that a fish that has been wandering around without biting the bait finally takes a bite.

I didn’t rush Gwangnyeoni and waited for her to come inside with a non-trivial attitude as if I wasn’t interested.

“…It’s scary. Why do you live in such a dark and gloomy place? Who wants to enter a store like this?”

hey girl hear it all

I’m mumbling to myself, but I have a rather good ear, so I can hear all the bad things.

“Hey, why don’t you come in if you’re going to come in? If you keep the door open, mosquitoes come in.”

There’s one new item I recently picked up at the general store, and that’s an insect repellent sachet.

If you hang a sachet that smells like mosquito repellent in a place like a lucky bag, mosquitoes won’t come in because of the smell.

‘It was a must-have item for mercenaries.’

It is an indispensable favorite item for mercenaries who mainly work in thick bushes, but since I retired as a mercenary, I thought I had nothing to use it, but I bought it again.

Even in my daily life, the mosquitoes were buzzing hard to suck my blood, so I couldn’t help it.

“I’m sorry!”

Gwangnyeon quickly closed the door and came inside.

For some reason, he seemed to want to leave the store already, considering he was the person he had come to.

As far as I remember, he seems to have been treated fairly gentlemanly, but it’s a wonder.

“I’m a guest, are you here because I have something to see?”

“So, so, are you a guest?”

“okay?”

Anyone could see that he was not a guest, but since he insisted that he was a guest, he decided to accept it.

“Then pick something up.”

“Yes, four!”

Anyone who sees it will know that I kidnapped me.

Gwangnyeon looked at my shop carefully, looking very scared, not befitting his nickname.

Of course, since I was on the business, it was obvious that I was just pretending to watch.

‘It’s not that I wasn’t interested in me at all…’

I can feel the glances staring at me.

Well, it’s a holy thing, but there’s no way Ji can’t pay attention to me.

You’d probably think I was lying, but I couldn’t ignore the slightest possibility that it might be real.

What if I even had a real relic?

‘But not yet. If I show the holy relic this easily, the church will definitely raid my grocery store.’

I couldn’t see my grocery store being trampled on by pseudo-monsters.

However, if you pushed too much, Gwangnyeon could not pay attention, saying that the story of the sacred object must be a lie.

“Did you come to find the holy relic?”

“Pooh!”

I was thinking of solving the information about the holy relic little by little after waiting until the child burned to death.

Just to the point where my interest doesn’t fade away.

“Do you remember me?”

“I know. Honestly, isn’t it an impression that’s not easy to remember?”

“I thought he forgot…because he didn’t pretend to know. He hasn’t been to the square since that day.”

Gwangnyeon speaks while twisting his body.

He hasn’t visited me in a while, but it doesn’t seem like he wasn’t interested at all.

He seemed to have waited there, expecting me to come to the square again.

“Why am I going there when I have nothing to do at the plaza?”

I am not a person who often goes to the public square to propagate missions like he did.

Gwangnyeon secretly looked at me and approached the checkout counter.

And as soon as I got closer, I secretly brought out a question I was curious about.

“That’s what you said to me then.”

“What are you saying?”

“…Don’t pretend you don’t know. You said you knew where our religious relics are.”

you know you know

It’s in my item window right now.
