I stopped being a warrior and became the strongest

Neighbor… Cousin? (1)

When he reassured me with chocolate.

Quadruck

Lacan looks down at him, returning from the big bear to the human form.

“Not yet. Just copying their appearance doesn’t make them who they are. ”

“Well…”

Aaron steals the blood with his bare hands and asks.

“Think and feel everything about them. How they hunt, how they sleep. Think and reflect constantly. Be truly one with nature. The Druid’s path begins there. ”

“… I’ll keep that in mind, Master. ”

With a deep voice from Lacan, Aaron slowly nodded his head.

“ · · · ”

Lacan stares down at that.

He takes off his mouth over the skin of the bear he left behind.

“As the cold approaches this time, I intend to take you to the Shrine of the Druids. ”

“The Shrine of the Druids? ”

Druid’s shrine is located at the opposite end of the continent.

A place where there are vast forests and nature untouched by man.

“Yes.”

“ · · · ”

Occasionally when Lacan mentions the Holy Land.

There used to be grace in those black eyes.

Maron also knew of the Druid’s sanctuary.

“This is a good place. A vibrant, hopeful city. But… it’s also a land where the Druids don’t have enough life force to grow. ”

At least that’s what the Druid Racan saw in the survivor’s city, Darten.

“What’s different about the sanctuary? ”

“It was under the protection of our ancestors for a long time. The abundant life force and greatness of nature will lead you to the true Druid. ”

“ · · · ”

Maron didn’t say anything to Lacan.

‘If I go to the Sanctuary, I’m sure I’ll be able to develop my strength. But…

It also meant goodbye to many.

It is not easy to say that you are going to the Holy Land.

“I’m afraid to say goodbye. ”

Maron failed to answer his teacher’s question.

Are you afraid to say goodbye?

I was more afraid than anyone.

“How did you get it?”

Thanks to Tang Khan’s help and guidance.

Mother, I met Verona and got a warm family.

I made friends at Tang Khan Academy and met the teacher.

If it had been me…

If it was him in the back alley.

Happiness that could never be enjoyed.

The teacher’s intention was to put down all those happiness.

“ · · · ”

He couldn’t answer.

“An adult bird must leave the nest at any time. ”

“Am I a big bird? ”

“No. He’s not finished yet. But it’s only a matter of time before I have to decide. You can’t live in your mother’s nest forever. ”

Lacan was not wrong.

I couldn’t stay under my mother’s protection forever.

But, um…

At least I wanted to be done with the Academy.

Maron, who can’t help himself.

“There’s still plenty of time. Think and think.”

Racan stared down at him and uttered his last words.

He left in a loud voice.

[Hiccup!]

“It’s okay. It’s not dead. I’m just a little… concerned. ”

Maron smiles faintly at the comfort of chocolate.

But no matter how much I thought about it, there was no answer.

‘It’s better to ask your mother for advice than to worry about it alone, right? ’

Maron went to the dean with his eternal ally, Verona.

“Mother.”

Watch Verona, who handles the paperwork, carefully talk to her.

“Son! How was class? ”

Verona smiles at Maron after pushing the pile of paperwork into one place.

But then I read Marron’s face, like he was anxious.

“But… you don’t look so good. Did something happen? ”

I asked the question carefully.

“I thought I might be leaving the Academy soon.”

“What do you mean? ”

Verona opens her eyes, surprised by Marron’s sudden words.

“It’s… my teacher says I need to go somewhere far because of my training. So… I’m thinking about it a little bit. ”

Maron let go of his troubles.

For a moment, Verona opens her mouth with a kind smile.

“What do you want to do with your son? ”

“I…”

Maron hesitates.

“No matter the size of the worries, no matter how small, everyone thinks and chooses. But no one knows the consequences of that choice. It’s just…

Verona points to the ceiling.

I kept talking.

“Only Tang Khan knows the outcome. And he will surely lead you to the best outcome, no matter what your son chooses. ”

“Like when you met your mother? ”

Verona nods, stroking Maron’s head.

“Pray to Tang Khan if you don’t find the answer. He never turns away from our cry. ”

“It was the Savior, wasn’t it? ”

The final cry left by Archma the Savior.

At least no one in this academy knows it.

“The words of your father. ”

“Y-yeah. ”

Is it awkward for Akma to be her father?

Maron on his feet, blushing.

“Then I’ll pray to Tang Khan! ”

“Yes, but don’t forget to pray and ponder enough. Rely on him, but we must do our best. So that he may fulfill his son’s will. ”

“I’ll keep that in mind!”

To the end.

He leaves Verona’s office, leaning against the pillar of the hallway.

“Are you going to the Shrine of the Druids… or are you going to the end of your academy life?”

In fact, the answer was already given.

‘There is a limit to what I can learn at the Academy without magic. ’

Racan’s leadership, on the other hand, gave him great power.

‘You’re right to go to the Druid’s Shrine. That’s true, but…

I was depressed by the thought of leaving.

“You can’t live in your mother’s nest forever. ”

Maron reminds me of what Lacan said.

‘The teacher is right. Unfortunately, you can’t stay an Academy cadet forever, can you? Let’s assume we’re moving a little faster than the others. ’

“Phew.”

Maron sighing and holding his heart.

“What’s the matter? With you sighing all the time in peace? ”

Rachel looks at him in surprise as she passes by.

“It’s nothing. ”

“Is it because of Lohan? He’s still out of it. I’m gonna go…”

He squealed and grabbed Rachel’s arm to go somewhere.

You shake your head.

“It’s not like that. It’s okay.”

“Well, that’s a relief. I don’t know what’s bothering you, but I hope it doesn’t interfere with your training. ”

Rachel, called the Second Coming of the Savior.

In fact, there were no enemies within the Academy for her.

There was only one person she didn’t win.

“I’m gonna win again.”

That’s what Maron did.

“That ability is forbidden, forbidden! Use only the Druid’s power! ”

Maron’s Ability ‘Purification. ’

Strangely, unlike when you removed the magical power within the pieces of the Ghoul Road.

The magical powers of wizards and engineers have ceased to exist temporarily.

“If magic doesn’t go away, there’s no reason to avoid a fight. ”

“Battle with the druids… I’m excited. ”

In the name of Lacan’s “Practice.”

He fought many wizards at the Academy.

Instead, I was asked to fight them.

I can’t even remember how many fights I’ve had.

Rachel was the one who asked for the most war.

“You always do, don’t you? ”

But Maron had never lost to her after using only the Druid’s power.

On his big question.

“Son of a…”

Rachel’s face blushes with shame.

“Anyway, you have to keep training with me until the competition comes. Okay?”

The competition she talks about.

It means a contest to select the “Savior.”

“But only prospective graduates can participate. How do you want to participate?”

“I’m different. Of course I’m graduating early! I’m going to prove my power in the tournament and take on the debris removal right away. I’m the next Savior! Okay?”

Just say what she has to say, and we’ll leave.

Early graduation.

Maron thought as he looked away at her back.

Suddenly, a light flashes in his head.

Premature graduation! That would be… ”

It’s a shame to end your academy life a little early.

‘There will be no one in my mother’s name. ’

But for early graduation.

‘I need to prove my worth in the competition. ’

Maron groans alone.

He suddenly tilts his head.

‘Did Tang Khan mean this too? ’

There’s no answer to that.

“Chocolate. Is this Tang Khan’s bowl, too? ”

Maron asked the Lion of Tang Khan what it meant.

[Heh!]

Tang Khan’s lion stretches out his legs to the sky.

“Right? It’s definitely Tang Khan’s relief! Thank you, Tang Khan! ”

Maron also smiles and looks like Chocolate is drunk.

“Win this tournament and then follow your master to the Sanctuary! ”

[Hiccup!]

Maron is having a strong conversation with Chocolate about his aspirations.

Zec

He noticed that his vision had returned to the room.

‘Looks like you’ve decided to walk the druid’s path. ’

Let’s postpone the appearance of Maron, who turned into a White Wolf.

It appears Lacan has reached Verona’s approval.

‘Well, it didn’t seem like Verona was trying to intervene directly in Marron’s life, so she deserved it. By the way… ”

JooJoo recalls Maron’s last words.

‘I thought I was talking to Chocolate… Is that the Druid’s power, too? ’

A druid who borrows the power of nature.

Animals are also a part of nature if you look at them broadly.

It didn’t seem strange to be able to talk.

It’s just…

‘I’m a little envious of being able to communicate with chocolate. ’

When Joon smiled.

Reclaim Warrior Maron’s Quarterly Achievement.

The warrior Maron was trained by Druid Lacan as a Druid.

Outside Achievements: Mentor Chocolate empowered Maron through conversations.

Increases‘ Natural Energy ’slightly as a reward.

‘.. a natural force? ’

Scratch your head on words you’ve never heard before.

“Hmm?”

Then a clean, clear aura began to circulate around his body.

Soon, the energy permeated all over her body.

This is…

Surprised by the life force in his body.

He looks down at his body with his eyes wide open.

I feel different than I’ve ever felt before.

If you felt energized all over your body when you received your physical strength.

But right now, I just…

I feel like I’m getting something cleaned up.

Is this the power that only druids possess?

‘If so, would it be possible for me to become an animal like Maron? ’

Maybe it’s not just impossible.

He smiled quietly, thinking of Maron.

‘You must have received a daily reward. Let’s finish preparing. ’

He looks back and looks around his room.

Tomorrow is the long-awaited departure day.

“A cup of coffee while watching the open river… khh…”

I can imagine a happy smile.

[Grunting]

[Analysis of the target’s conversational pattern says, “Feels good? ’. 78% accuracy.]

“Feeling? Excellent! By the way…”

The moment that JooJooJoon was cold to happiness with a real smile.

The reason I broke up with him and returned to Clanhouse of the Imperial Clan.

“Uh… I’m sure.”

She was sitting on a chair in the Oval Office and was busy talking to someone.

“I guarantee it. He’s a real acquaintance. Uh, I checked. Grandpa! You don’t believe me? ”

[It’s not that I don’t trust you. I’m asking if he’s trustworthy.]

The reason I sigh and join the conversation.

“I don’t know about that. I don’t have the information to do this. ”

[I heard you’ve been keeping the F rank. He couldn’t have leaked the information like that.]

“.. which is why I’m even more curious. Why you’ve been hiding your powers, and now you’re out in the open.”

When she spills her tail.

An old man’s voice echoes back from his silent phone for a moment.

[Isn’t that one of them? Either he’s an enormous interest in hiding, or he thinks it’s in his best interest to formally communicate his friendship with the Bone Dragon.]

“.. the latter seems more persuasive than the interested party. ”

Of course, the aim may be of great interest.

But, um…

“Will the dungeon and disaster end? I hope you’ll think about it. ”

I think of the last thing he said before he broke up with JooJoon.

I told you that disaster wasn’t the end.

Is there anything else after the dungeons and the disasters?

Then why is he convinced of that?

That’s what I left her with.

‘I don’t understand. ’

I need to know more.

Hello?]

“Uh… I can hear you. Stop talking. ”

So what are you going to do?]

Why I was silent for a while when Old Man Huang asked me.

Soon she takes her lips off slowly.

“Thank God for the former, but I’m more likely to be the latter. Well… I’m not sure yet, so I’m going to stick a close clan member with him for now. ”

[You don’t think you’re just gonna say yes, do you? I don’t think it would look good if you told me to put surveillance next to me.]

Old man Huang’s words were perfectly reasonable.

“Of course, you have to stick it in a line that doesn’t hurt his feelings. Incidental fate. ”

[What the hell were you thinking?]

“Why? Do you want to follow me if I tell you? ”

The voice of the old man is silenced by the question of why.

“Well, okay. We haven’t seen each other in a day or two. Word of advice, he’s moving out soon. ”

[… what? Ah…]

Seems to understand her intentions.

On the mobile phone came the applauding voice of an elderly man.

Lunch the next day.

“ · · · ”

Views unfolding under a wide window.

“Beautiful.”

Those who exercise in the Han River.

tranquil rivers and warm sunshine.

‘Everything looks beautiful. ’

Feelings you couldn’t feel in a cramped studio.

JooJoon enjoys the relaxation of the new house.

‘It’s worth a shot. ’

Until I choose this house.

No matter how many properties you’ve traveled around.

Of course, he wasn’t penniless.

‘But if you can save it, save it. ’

Even if there are many gold bars in the water.

Don’t you think it’s good to be able to save?

JooJoon was moaning alone.

“Hey!”

Suddenly raise your hand to one side.

“You see that pile of dust? Wipe that too.”

As soon as the command is given.

Pebble

Skeletons pick up a mop and run in front of you.

Soon the skeletons will be done with the cleanup.

‘Okay, I guess we’re done cleaning up. I have to buy stuff for my new nest. ’

I told you to put the new liquor in the new unit.

“Was it the wardrobe you ironed for yourself? That looks good… buy an air fry, buy a coffee machine…

When Joon smiled at me thinking of things to put in the house.

Dingdong

The doorbell rings his ears.
