Inside An Ad**t Game As A Former Hero

EP.8 Thing, a hero, do it one more time.

– Whoops…

harsh breathing.

Samuel carrying Marilyn was running towards the outside of the cave. He was followed by Gemina and Tom.

“Shut up…”

Every time the soles of her feet shook, Marilyn groaned.

“Hold on, Marilyn. She’s almost all out.”

The cave was large, but not very deep.

If you run like this, you will soon see the entrance.

As Samuel had expected, after running a little, I saw the boundary between the cave and the sunlight. Even after getting out of the cave, Samuel didn’t stop running.

I stopped running until I reached the forest in front of the cave.

“Samuel! Why stop?!”

“You have to stop Marilyn’s wounds. I also have to treat. Otherwise, you will suffer later.”

I saw an adventurer who had been sick for a week from a shallow cut in the past.

As his condition worsened, he visited the priest, who said that the infection had come through the wound. When there is a wound, he advised that it is better to treat the wound quickly, unless you need to use a potion or receive a heal.

And Marilyn’s wounds were much worse than that of the adventurer at that time.

Even if there was a risk of being pursued, it was better to deal with it quickly.

Samuel took the crushed herbs and a bandage out of his bag. The crushed herb was applied evenly to the wound and bandaged.

Meanwhile, Gemina and Tom watched the cave.

“…brother. Is Cloud okay? Aren’t we supposed to go now?”

“Yes, bro. He’s a B grade. I caught two hobgoblins easily. With our help, we can kill all those goblins.”

Gemina and Tom said to Samuel, who was in first aid.

It’s because they both feel guilty for running away from Cloud inside.

But Samuel answered firmly.

“no way. You guys just saw the number of those goblins, didn’t you? Going in there is suicide.”

“However…”

“But it’s never okay!”

When Samuel shouted, Gemina and Tom, as well as Marilyn, who was being treated quietly, flinched in surprise.

Seeing that reaction, Samuel sighed deeply.

“yes. As you said Tom, Mr. Cloud took out the two hobgoblins in an instant. But that’s because it was a surprise to some extent. If dozens of goblins rush in front of you, no matter how much a B-class adventurer is, there is no answer.”

“So we have to help..!”

“What if we go? What can you do?”

Tom and Gemina’s mouths were shut at the words that stabbed the core.

Except for the wounded Marilyn, there are only three things that can be fought.

They are also two novice adventurers who received their first quest today and a D-class adventurer who just took off their chojjati.

They do not have the power to change the unfavorable war situation.

Tom and Gemina bowed their heads, feeling helpless and guilty.

After finishing the knot in the bandage, Samuel patted Tom and Gemina on the shoulder.

“Don’t feel guilty. Even though they were able to run away together, they ran into a group of goblins. It’s that person’s choice, not our fault…”

Samuel couldn’t finish his speech.

Because I saw someone coming out of the cave.

At first I thought it was a goblin.

However, Inyoung, who was revealed later, was too big to be a goblin.

“brother?”

Surprised by Samuel’s sudden pause, Tom and Gemina also turned their heads.

And both of them were frozen.

“What? What is it? Is there a goblin?”

Marilyn leaned against the tree and struggled to get up. The three of them turned their gaze to where they were looking.

Her eyes widened.

It wasn’t the goblin that came out of the cave, it was Cloud. He calmly walked out with the four hobgoblin heads in his arms. He turned his head and looked around, and when he saw this, he approached with a sly smile.

“I thought you ran away, were you here? That’s great. Take one of her heads and listen.”

Cloud held out the hobgoblin head he was holding in his arms to the three men.

But the three of them just looked at Cloud with blank expressions.

“What are you doing, aren’t you? To be honest, if you have a conscience, you should get it.”

Cloud grunted, but couldn’t reach the three of them at all. Their heads were full of questions.

“how..?”

“yes?”

“How did you get out?”

Samuel’s voice is unbelievable.

Cloud tilted his head and said it was natural.

“I came out because I killed them all. What else do you have?”

“what…”

is that nonsense?

The words reached his throat, but he had no choice but to swallow them back.

Cloud’s body that came out of the cave was covered in dark red blood.

Common sense is that there is no way humans can survive even with that much blood, so it was reasonable to think that it was the blood of goblins.

‘…You really killed them all?’

So many goblins?

Are you a B-grade adventurer?

“…I’ll have to check it out.”

Samuel ran towards the cave.

“brother?!”

“brother?!”

“Wait, I’m going too!”

“Yumma! Raise your head, where are you?!”

I ignored the sounds coming from behind. Samuel wanted to make sure that Cloud’s words were true, so he ran without stopping.

And I was able to find it.

Four headless hobgoblin corpses and dozens of goblin corpses lying on the floor.

Everything he said was true.

“brother! Why are you running like that… hey?!”

Jemina, who followed, hears a startled voice.

So did Tom and Marilyn, who arrived a little later.

The scene where the intestines, severed limbs, and corpses were scattered was horrific.

The three remained silent, frozen until Cloud arrived.

“hey! I have nothing more to take Don’t expect loot from the goblins, go quickly and pick up the hobgoblin’s head.”

Cloud’s voice came from behind.

Samuel did not look back.

‘Crazy guild bastards. That’s a B-class adventurer…’

It was when I couldn’t overcome my fear and closed my eyes.

“there…”

Marilyn’s voice is heard.

Samuel felt his heart sink. In her mind, the image of Marilyn, who was particularly ticklish to Cloud, comes to mind.

‘Oh no, Marilyn! Never offend him! We all die!’

Samuel quickly turned his head.

I was going to run quickly and shut Marilyn’s mouth…

“Sin, I’m sorry…”

There was no need for that.

Because Marilyn was bowing her head and apologizing to Cloud while being supported by Tom.

“yes?”

“Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t let you talk on the way. It’s a sin to fall into a trap while running excitedly, and to run away… I’m sorry… I won’t do that again…”

Samuel looked at Marilyn’s face with his head bowed. She was weeping with her face terrified of her.

* * *

There was no hobgoblin in the contents of the request that Samuel and his party received. There was no mention of dozens of goblins.

Therefore, as soon as Samuel returned to the city, he had to report the anomaly to the head of the guild branch.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

“Come back carefully.”

After completing the report, Samuel bowed his head once and left the waiting room. Seeing him leave, Walter sighed heavily, laying his back on his chair.

“What do you think?”

Walter said to his secretary, Rickel, who was sitting next to him.

“What do you think?”

“That’s what that kid said. Is it real?”

“Once I checked at the money changer, the hobgoblin’s head was real. They exchanged four heads for money.”

“yes…”

Walter closed his eyes for a moment and pondered what the kid had said earlier.

-I thought the first two were just a surprise attack. Anyway, the escape route was cleared, so I took Marilyn and tried to run away. But Mr. Cloud did not intend to run away, but he walked towards the goblin horde. I wondered if it was crazy. How are you going to handle that number?

Yes, we left him and ran away.

Even if you insult me ​​for being cowardly, I can’t help it. Because I wanted to live.

It was while hiding among the bushes in front of the cave, giving first aid to Marilyn’s feet.

A figure was seen in the cave, and then he appeared.

Yes, that’s right. It was Mr. Cloud.

His body was covered in blood, but strangely, there were hardly any wounds except for a few afterimages.

When I asked what happened, he said lightly that he just got it all?

At first I thought it was nonsense… but when I went into the cave and checked it, I had no choice but to admit that what Mr. Cloud was saying was true.

Hobgoblins and dozens of goblins were horribly dead.

Samuel shook his head, saying he didn’t know more than that. He ran away, so he didn’t see how he fought.

I could only guess that he had won overwhelmingly when he saw his condition and the gruesome scene.

“Chief of the branch. Is it possible to kill four hobgoblins and dozens of goblins alone with a B-class?”

“Impossible.”

One-on-one battles are not for nothing.

Because every time I move, multiple attacks come at the same time.

It was for that reason that the adventurer did not move alone, but organized a party.

I don’t know if there is an overwhelming difference, otherwise I can’t be free from the number of heads.

Such is the case as it is now.

Level 17.

A state similar to the guards who ate a bit in the city of the kingdom.

It can never be said to be weak, but it is also vaguely to say that it is strong.

Of course, it would be stronger than a level 10 hobgoblin at best.

You might even be able to fight the two of them alone.

But dealing with dozens of goblins is another story.

If I had been able to do that by myself, the continent wouldn’t have been rotten by the monsters, and the Adventurer’s Guild wouldn’t have been created.

“If it’s an ordinary B-class.”

But Cloud did it.

So he’s no ordinary B-class adventurer.

“Then you are saying that he is not normal?”

“right. My guess is that this friend must have been properly trained by someone. After hard training, he must have come out to drink some water in the world. That’s probably why the level is low.”

“If you say you’ve been trained…?”

At Rickel’s questionable voice, Walter shrugged.

“If anyone could do such a thing, would they be other than knights?”

article.

A human weapon that has been raised through all kinds of hard and systematic training since childhood.

They do not depend on the level.

The level gap is filled with technology.

They are not bound by numbers.

Because it’s overwhelmingly strong.

Rickel swallowed his saliva with a nervous face at the word knight.

“Knight… Then, shouldn’t Cloud’s rating be raised?”

“it’s okay. just let it go You probably don’t like that kind of perk. Just change the rating a bit. So that he can raise his rank any time he wants.”

“…Yeah.”

“Then go out and work. I’ll sit down for a while and leave.”

After Rickel left the reception room, Walter remembered his first meeting with Cloud.

‘Somehow, even though he was young, his momentum was extraordinary.’

You and I were playing in a different world.

He smiled, then remembered what he had done to him.

Everything from preemption using grip to low-key tone of voice.

‘…Maybe you have bad feelings for me or not?’

A drop of cold sweat ran down his back.

* * *

Killing the goblins allowed me to understand how the level system works.

‘It cuts the soul.’

It cuts the soul of the dead a little and absorbs it into its own body. When more than a certain number of souls accumulate in the body, then the body is strengthened.

Perhaps cutting and absorbing the soul is experience, and accumulating them to make the body stronger is called leveling up.

So, what to do next is simple.

Just kill all kinds of monsters at random and level up. After you’ve leveled up to a certain extent, you can leave to farm equipment.

But before that, there is work to be done.

“Come on. Did you come to join the swordsmanship guild?”

The place I was currently visiting was the Swordsmanship Guild, a place that taught swordsmanship by paying money in the game.

“No, I’m just here to learn.”

Probably, the god that made Cloud call me here is likely to not know what I was doing.

If I had known, I wouldn’t have thought of bringing him to my dimension.

Unless you’re really crazy.

So, you’re probably thinking of me as a possessor who has played a lot of games.

Then shouldn’t we act accordingly?

Well… one day I’ll be able to use technology from the old world.

But if that doesn’t happen, there’s no need to step forward and show your bottom line.

So I came to the Swordsmanship Guild to learn the skills of this world.

The goblins attack is simply a matter of looking, dodging, and stabbing, but the next time you meet, you may need skills.

“Learning is good! Our swordsmanship guild is always open to anyone who wants to learn. However, learning always costs money…”

I took out a money bag containing 2500 gold and showed it to him.

2000 gold is the money left over from giving Rina 3000 gold last time, and 500 gold is money earned from the last goblin quest. Originally, 500 gold was to be divided among five, but Samuel said he would not take it, so I had all of it.

He looked at the heavy money bag and made a happy expression.

“You are ready to learn. Follow me. I will guide you to the master.”

I followed him, who was guiding me.

Inside the guild, the sound of metal bumping did not stop, but it seemed that the guild members were fighting each other.

“Master is here.”

He said as he opened the back door of the guild.

Passing through the back door, I saw the dance hall surrounded by a white wall. There, about six people were following the movements of a middle-aged man.

The man who guided me walked towards a middle-aged man.

“Master Riek.”

“What’s going on, Jack? Can’t you see I’m busy?”

“A visitor has come to learn.”

“yes? let’s go Are you the guest?”

The middle-aged man wiped his sweat and looked at me. He nodded, and the middle-aged looked at the six in training and said:

“Leave your seat for a while. Keep doing all chapters 1 through 8 until I come back.”

-Yeah!

“you. Follow me.”

A middle-aged man led me into the building. Even in the guild, there was enough space to swing a sword, although not as much as the gym.

“What do you want to learn?”

“What do you have?”

“300 gold double strike. Parring 500 gold. 1000 gold to kill a wolf.”

Five. This is the game system.

“Then I will learn all that.”

The teacher’s eyebrows twitched at my words.

“Are you going to learn everything?”

“Yes. Don’t worry, you have money. Let me show you an example.”

I threw the money bag minus 700 gold to the instructor.

* * *

leek.

Looking at the age of fifty, he was a wandering knight who wandered the continent when he was young.

Nobles and knights looked at him and ignored him, saying that his horse was nothing more than a wandering knight or a wandering mercenary, but he was proud of his sword.

He wasn’t in a good mood right now.

It was because of the kid who came as a guest this time.

Just by looking at the fact that it looks like a parasitic brother, you must have been born in a well-to-do place.

So, you could say such an arrogant thing.

‘Are you going to learn everything? under..! You know that all you need is money…’

Because rich housekeepers can’t do this.

I know that handling a sword is as easy as lying on your back in a centipede’s bedroom.

The reality is that I have to work hard enough to get rid of the calluses to barely keep my body healthy.

‘Twitter… I still have to make money.’

Of course, maintaining a guild costs money.

That was the reason why he, who had strong pride in his sword, couldn’t drive out such a cheeky bastard.

He smiled laboriously and handed the wooden sword to Cloud.

“yes. It’s good to learn everything. So, let’s start with the second shot first.”

Riku took a stance with a wooden sword. He immediately swung his sword and swung his sword.

“synthesis!”

A wooden sword swung toward the top.

As he twisted his wrist, the wooden sword struck once more in the opposite direction to the direction in which it was swung.

It uses the movement of the wrist to attack twice at high speed. Of course, the power is slightly lower than just swinging it, but the advantage of being able to attack twice is the advantage of the double hit.

He looked at Cloud with a triumphant expression on his face.

‘Perhaps I didn’t even see it properly.’

For a beginner who doesn’t know how to do it, it’ll feel like something that’s been done in the blink of an eye.

“How can I try?”

“Yes.”

Cloud took the same posture that Riku had taken earlier. Seeing that, Riku internally laughed at him.

‘Can’t that be a one-time look? You should practice for at least a week…’

hooo. hooo.

the sound of cracking wind.

Riku’s mouth was wide open. This is because Cloud followed Riek’s movements in the same way.

‘No… How is this all at once…’

To Riku who was bewildered, Cloud spoke calmly.

“Are you okay?”

“Huh? Uh-huh… well… well done.”

“Then tell me the next technique.”

“Yeah, it should be.”

Riku raised his wooden sword.

Yeah, he was a guy who knew how to use a sword.

But this one won’t be easy.

“Parring is letting the opponent’s attack flow in the other direction. It is meaningful in that it not only cuts off the opponent’s attack, but also creates a gap. Try swinging your sword at me once.”

Cloud swung his wooden sword towards Riku. Riku twisted Cloud’s attack with his sword.

“This is paring. Well, spilling is something that can only be done if you are skilled, and beginners are better off hitting it sideways rather than spilling it.”

“Yes.”

“It would be better to try it yourself than to see it. I will swing my sword at you Take a good look at it and beat it.”

Riku slashed his wooden sword at Cloud, who had taken his stance. It contained power beyond what was needed to teach Farring.

‘Let’s see if we can do it once again!’

It was because such a childish thought was in Riku’s head.

Seeing Riku’s sword attack, Cloud moved. When Riku felt something, his wooden sword was already hitting the ground.

‘Huh…?’

Without hesitation, Cloud said.

“Teach me the next technique.”

“…”

In the end, Cloud learned all three techniques in less than 10 minutes and went back that day.

After he returned, Riku had to receive the puzzled eyes of his disciples as to why he had already returned.

It was a bonus that his pride had been cracked.
