chapter 22
22 – 4.5 Hell Instructor – Faberde (2)
A month has passed since I entered the mental world.
It was the day when six strokes of the Chinese character 正 engraved on an oak tree were filled.
Since it is an image world, the ‘curse of the devil’ did not reduce its lifespan. Time was fixed.
I frowned.
The big rock that Faberde had put up on the first day was still standing firm.
I couldn’t even get a scratch, let alone break a rock.
I started jogging as I was accustomed to staring at the rocks.
After a short break from jogging, follow her instructions and swing your sword.
After repeating this for about a month, I think I’m used to it.
As I ate only chicken breast and vegetables, I lost weight and my features are showing little by little.
“Whoa, whoa…”
No, but I live in magic, so why am I training like a swordsman?
There are reasons for that.
“Ohhh… To be able to handle ‘spirits’, or souls. That’s special.”
First day. When I told Faberde about [Ghost Communion], He responded that it was fun.
“I haven’t seen anyone who handles ‘spirits’, but I’ve seen quite a few necromancers who deal with the undead.”
“Anyway, since I’m a wizard, I won’t do such drastic training.”
“This can’t be in my class Trainee A. On the contrary, Necromancers boasted their mighty bodies. Mana would be sucked out relentlessly.”
“It looks like he fell to hell because he committed a crime rather than to the world of imagination. I will find a way to return.”
“When I came in, I was free, but when I left, it wasn’t. Ay-kun.”
Damn it. Let me go
Contrary to my wishes, Faberde steered me through training.
Christina, who was the only one who comforted me, also had a tearful farewell a week ago. Originally, she says, animal souls, unlike humans, are light, so they disappear quickly.
Faberde sent Cristina away with a bitter expression, but as the day went on she became active as usual.
Well, from a different point of view, are you cheating on the subject of living together with a silver-haired beauty? It can be said… After going through the pattern of training-eating-training-sleep-nagging for a week, she can realize that Faberde is not a woman, but just an instructor who has gone crazy with training.
And most of all, we don’t sleep together, we sleep separately in my room. I cook all three meals, and I do the laundry.
I couldn’t understand why I had to do laundry in the image world.
It’s much better than when I was sick.
Besides, surprisingly, she was a fa verde who didn’t interfere at all with her private parts. The fact that they haven’t called me by my first name yet could also be said to be in that context.
I put my thoughts aside for a moment and moved my body. In order to get out of the time limit and enjoy a stable life, it was necessary to be more sincere.
Ignoring Faberde’s nagging, I continued my training.
Faverde was a good instructor. It’s because it’s nagging.
What is the training content…
“Faverde… That’s enough,”
“Not yet! I didn’t give it a go!”
“Now it feels real,”
“Go!!!!”
I’ve never had my body pushed to its limit to this extent.
Nevertheless, he kept moving his legs.
In the end, even the arrogant Dyers jumped up to the point of cursing.
She smiled cheerfully, as if satisfied. It was an annoyingly beautiful and powerful smile.
“f*ck!!”
“It’s okay to curse. It’s okay to say sh*t! But you can’t give up. Keep running!”
“aaa!!”
“It’s a good spirit!”
…
The thing that pissed me off the most was that while I was running, I thought I was going to die, but Faberde, who was running next to me, was perfectly fine.
Two months have passed.
Faverde’s nagging still continued.
“Trainee A! The back is twisted! Straighten up.”
“Trainee A! Get up!”
“Trainee A! Didn’t I tell you to leave out the carrots in the curry?!”
Just eat it!
I looked at Faberde with a puzzled look.
She was genuinely hostile to Carrot.
Honestly, I was the first person who didn’t like adding carrots to curry.
And when did you tell me to take it off? When you cook, you don’t even poke your nose!
“…Just eat some. How healthy are carrots…”
“I don’t like it! The moment I grabbed this sword, I swore. I’d only put meat in the curry!”
“Then you can use this opportunity to eat carrots! Just eat them! And don’t scold!”
“You crossed the line, so why are you mad at me?! I won’t eat until you apologize!”
“Sorry! Please eat now.”
“It’s already too late. I heard that if you eat food containing carrots, you will surely die within one hundred and fifty years. You cannot eat such food!”
Faberde was obviously a grown-up woman, but sometimes she used to look like a kid like this.
She was especially like that when it comes to food. Whether you eat carrots or not, you will die in one hundred and fifty years.
In the end, her training intensity went up significantly compared to usual that day. Against the mean Paverde, I silently gnashed my teeth and vowed to avenge her.
A gentleman’s revenge was never too late even if it took 10 years.
I’ll throw in the bell peppers next time.
“By the way… I still haven’t broken the rock.”
Even after two months passed, the rock stood firm like a fortress.
However, it was not without change.
I was still a bit bulky, but I was losing weight to the extent that I could feel it, and my muscles were gradually gaining.
It was a body made by beating rocks for over 8 hours every day.
She swung her sword at the rock, recalling the posture she had corrected for her two months.
Chang! Bang!
“Damn it.”
I only scratched the side of the black rock, but couldn’t dig into it.
I couldn’t bring up the status window because it was an image world, but my power definitely got stronger. But that was all.
The rock was in good health.
In an instant, I swung my sword again.
This time it was fine with only scratches.
“Only rock subjects.”
He thrust his sword once again.
As expected, it was fine.
“My future path,”
Once again, with his bloodied hand, he thrust his sword at the rock.
“Do not block.”
Side cut.
For this skill, which was clearly one of the most basic skills in the game.
I swung my sword like crazy to learn that one perfectly.
If you learn one thing, there are people who know ten.
I am not.
Because once you learn one, using it properly was a daunting task.
I grit my teeth for that one and take a sword and posture again.
He slowly raised his sword and sucked in his breath.
Blocking the air flowing through her mouth and nose, thinking about the ‘most effective side cut’ she has taught me over and over again,
Her eyes wide open and she takes one step forward. Feel the dripping drops of sweat as they are.
Wields a sword.
As the rock and the sword interlock, a deep sense of pleasure begins to flow along with the refreshing sound.
With a crackling sound, the rock splits into several branches.
In the place where the sword left, there was no rock that looked like a fortress.
She is two months into her training.
I cut a rock.
I just laughed.
.
Dyers immediately looked for Faberde to tell him the good news, but he couldn’t find him.
I’m sure I was watching it until a few hours ago, but it’s strange.
She never approached Dyers personally. Throughout the two months of living together, she did not have the necessary conversations with her name to the extent that she wondered if she had some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder.
Dyers didn’t even bother to tell her about her private life.
So, in the current situation, there is no way to know where she went.
It wasn’t once or twice that I had a bad temper throughout the training, but I wonder if I’ve become attached to it.
Since there is no Faberde in this situation… It’s a bit bittersweet.
Even if he doesn’t bother looking for her, if it’s tomorrow morning, she will wake him up with a cheerful smile.
Because that person is always lively and noisy. If I tested MBTI, I was certain that E would come out.
“……”
Let’s go find it.
Dyers took his stride. She was a very displeased woman to hear that a disciple had achieved such results and was not by her side.
She wasn’t there either at the training ground or at home.
Dyers recalled that she goes to her back mountain once a week.
Since it was already dark, she packed her belongings and headed straight for the mountain.
She climbed her mountain and wandered her way a little bit to find her.
“Hmm? Trainee a. What is it?”
The place where she stood was her grave. Among the several tombs, there was Faberde, staring at the tomb with a blank expression.
Unlike the usual talkative Faberde, something was a little strange.
She said, “She asked what was going on here.”
The tone of his voice was not high, and his eyebrows, which were always raised, were not raised. His expression didn’t change much, but he looked depressed somewhere.
There is no need to bring up the topic of rocks right now.
“Whose grave is it?”
“Ah. My old colleagues.”
Faverde said with a soft smile. She had seen her laugh many times, but never had such a weak laugh.
Dyers gave a short nod to her, alternating between her grave and her expressionless.
Laughing at her apprentice’s cute grown-up impersonation, Faberde also bowed her head briefly toward her grave.
After a brief tribute, Faberde opened her mouth.
“I know I’m weird. There’s only you and me in this world.”
He knew very well that there could be no graves of her comrades in the mental world.
Probably handmade.
I must have missed you.
It must have been lonely.
I was alone here for 57 years until I came.
I thought that this tomb might be her own memorial.
Dyers, who met her eyes for a moment, opened her mouth briefly.
