chapter 222
222 – Power Increase – 3
Nothing special changed just because the main story ended.
Study, run dungeons, and train again.
Occasionally, we attack the villains’ strongholds.
An ordinary, if ordinary, everyday life was going on.
And among that mediocrity, there was also one that I didn’t really want.
Just the midterm exam.
I don’t know why the midterm exam period has already arrived, but anyway, everyone prepared hard because failing the midterm exam would be a pain in the ass.
And the result.
“Holy shit!”
Cheon Soo-ho was also the second chair.
“Ohhohohohoho!! I worked hard, but it’s still there!! Ohhohohohohoho!!”
Covering her mouth with the back of her hand, Elizabeth laughed out loud.
okay. If I’m winning this much, I think it’s okay to do a little teabagging.
“Kaaa!! Let’s wait and see during the final exam!!”
As Cheon Soo-ho, who clenched his fist and shouted, ran away, Yoo Cho-ah, who was giggling, came next to me.
“Hmm? This time you’re in your thirties. Didn’t you study much?”
“I did. But other people studied a lot too.”
As I was concentrating on skill training, I had no choice but to study theory somewhat roughly. Even if you do that, 30th place is not a bad rank.
“You’re like oh? Oh. Excellent. Excellent.”
“Ehehe~! The equipment helped a lot!”
Actually, Yoo Cho-ah already has two relics. It must have helped a lot during the practical evaluation.
“Well, I tried too!! And… I even got help from Johan!”
“Huh? Me?”
“Yes! This helped me study harder!”
ah. Sheath fragment. okay. If I had that, my stamina would automatically recover, so I would have been able to study more comfortably.
“Ohhohohohoho!! Let me give you the honor of being the chief! Ohhohohohohoho!!!”
“Pfft! Then I’ll have the honor…”
“…I hope you don’t forget the glory of the company.”
Jin Si-yeon has already arrived. hmm. Guys. I’m in my thirties. Are you kidding me? Isn’t that what it is?
It doesn’t seem like it when you look at the smiling face… but anyway, the results aren’t bad. Let’s just leave it like this.
“Oh. Now that I think about it, I got a call from Hyejeong.”
“Huh? Really?”
“Yes. He asked me to come visit him after midterm exams. He said there are a lot of things to see at his cafe in the fall.”
“When it comes to fall in Jeju Island… do you mean pink muhly?”
“Oh? Do you know?”
I once saw it as an advertisement while looking for information on the Internet. I showed Jeju Island Pink Muhly on the terminal, and all three of us looked at it with sparkling eyes.
“Wow…! It’s pretty!”
“I thought Hyejeong’s store was here.”
“Wow… you’re capable. How many stores do you have?”
“As far as I know, I heard they acquired another one this time…”
“That’s amazing.”
It’s really awesome.
Of course, the money we earn as heroes is never small. However, Hyejeong has already made several stores her own even though it is not like that. Even while sick.
Once you get the elixir and heal it, it will be truly scary.
“Guy Su-ho. It’s nice to meet your lover. We can meet each other later.”
“Oh my? Are you jealous?”
Elizabeth smiled brightly and gently grabbed my arm. Then he gently pulled me and whispered softly in my ear.
“You can do it too if you want. Hehehehe.”
“What? What are you talking about like that?”
Jin Si-yeon, who was pulling Elizabeth with a sullen expression, quickly looked at me with sharp eyes. And then he confidently walks over and grabs my collar.
“Do you want to run a business? If that’s the case, just tell me. I’ll let you do as much as you want.”
“…No, thanks.”
If I say that, I think either Elizabeth or Jin Si-yeon will catch me, imprison me, and transfer several companies under my name.
Of course, playing and eating without working is the happiest life, but I have a problem with that as I am only in my twenties.
“Anyway… when should I go?”
“Well, I need to talk to Suho…”
How do I catch the guy who ran away crying earlier?
Just in case, I picked up the terminal and called him. The call tone played and a few moments later, I thought I wouldn’t answer, but unexpectedly I did.
I’m glad.
– what? I’m busy right now because I’m in the middle of a consultation.
– sir! Mocha latte is here!
“That’s so classy. Are you talking about your family’s affairs while drinking a mocha latte at a cafe?”
I shook my head when I heard the voice of the cafe clerk over the terminal.
Still, I’m glad I didn’t get seriously hurt.
– Noisy! why!
“Hyejeong asked us to come over and I was wondering when we should go.”
– ah. that? I’m going this weekend. But do you guys have time?
There was no particular problem. The hunting club is also closed at that time.
– Well then, let’s figure it out like that.
“Are we going to tell Serenia?”
– I guess Hyejeong contacted me first. But Serenia said it wouldn’t work.
uh? Why is he doing this again? I looked at the three, but they all shook their heads as if they didn’t know.
“I’ll take a look.”
It could also be because of drinking and causing an accident. I hung up the phone, thinking of ruins that might have undead to fill, and the three of us headed to the cathedral.
The cathedral looked quite busy. Nuns and priests are running around here and there, as if they are busy with something.
“Huh?! Serenia!”
At that time, Yoo Choa, who spotted one of the busy nuns, waved her hand and shouted. Serenia smiled brightly when she saw her and ran straight towards her.
“What happened?! This far?!”
“What I want to ask is: Is the cathedral busy right now?”
“Huh? Yeah. I’m busy right now.”
“Huh? What are you doing?”
“There is training. Sooner or later, the Pope will come to the cathedral, and there are many things to prepare for that time. Choir practice, prayer meetings, etc.”
Serenia’s shoulders slumped. After looking around, she sighed and grabbed the hem of Elizabeth’s dress.
“You came because of Sister Hyejeong, right? I don’t think I can go. I have to start choir practice starting tomorrow. I can’t miss this. I tried to get rid of it by killing the undead, but they said it would never be possible.”
“Ah… that’s a shame. I wish you could go with me too.”
“So… Phew. Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani…”
My God. My God. Why have you abandoned me?
Is not being able to drink a serious enough problem to say something like that?
Serenia, who was quite sullen, greeted us and returned to the cathedral.
“Ahaha… I feel a little sorry that we are going alone.”
The kind Yoo Cho-ah seemed to be bothered by that drooping appearance and said quietly. So I patted her head and told her.
“Let’s eat, drink, and enjoy Serenia’s portion as well. I’m sure Serenia wants that too.”
“Hmm… I don’t think so…”
noisy.
I covered Jin Si-yeon’s mouth with my finger and pulled Elizabeth, who was looking at the cathedral sadly.
“Come on! Then, let’s have fun by ourselves!”
Time passed and it became the weekend.
Since I was planning to go around lunch, I thought I should train in the morning, so I put on my training clothes and headed to the training ground.
Perhaps because it was the weekend of the week after the midterm exams, the training ground was extremely quiet. Actually, everyone was busy having fun, so there was nothing strange about it.
“Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!”
And the guy I was going to hang out with later was training right now. I approached Cheon Soo-ho, who was lifting a large barbell, and sat down next to him and asked.
“Hasn’t the weight gone up? I think I’m overdoing it.”
“Uh, are you here?”
Cheon Su-ho lightly lowered the barbell and glanced at his muscles. Then, after trying various poses, he moved while holding the shield.
Is it because my muscles have become stronger? The movements of the guy carrying a fairly heavy shield seemed quite light.
The guy, who was training with a serious and serious expression unlike usual, showed his teeth while wiping away beads of sweat.
“Hyejeong’s condition is getting worse.”
“hmm…”
“Seizures are becoming more frequent. We need to get the elixir quickly.”
That’s why you’re trying so hard.
“Well, there is no elixir for sale right now…”
“That’s right. This is the only thing I can do right now…!”
The guy who spoke firmly focused on training again.
Hmm… I think I can get the elixir if Cheonsu-ho gets a little stronger here…
okay. Let’s talk about it first. Because I was planning on going anyway.
“There’s a good chance the elixir is in one of the ruins in England.”
“What?! Are you sure?!”
“Hmm, maybe.”
One of the linked events to obtain Excalibur, Elizabeth’s equipment.
You can obtain elixir from an event that can be held after obtaining the scabbard fragment.
If we get the elixir and heal Hye-jeong, Cheon Soo-ho will be able to fight without pressure and become stronger.
“Then let’s go! Is now the time?!”
“It’s not a good idea to go now. My preparations and others’ preparations are not yet complete. And it will be difficult for you at your current level as well. You need to become stronger.”
Aside from that, there are other people needed to clear the event.
First of all, Serenia is essential and you may also need to include standard heat.
It would be nice if I could get help from old man Breath, but I couldn’t start the event right now because I had to think about old man’s schedule.
“do not worry.”
I said, biting my lip and putting my arm around the guy who was suppressing his nervousness.
“I will definitely get the elixir. And if I get it…”
“What if I save it?”
“Do me a favor later.”
“Uh… hey. Even if I don’t do that, I can at least grant your request. You’re a friend, right?”
haha.
I’m grateful that you think so, but I have to act as a tank in the face of the dragon of the apocalypse…
I feel sorry about this.
There is more to receive than to give.
But what can you do? Think of it as fate.
