chapter 7
I see your code (7)
Layton is the only city without a ruler on the Velia continent. This is because the three kingdoms that subjugated the empire declared this city inviolable.
According to the official announcement, ‘We will use Layton, which borders all three kingdoms, as a symbol of peace.’ But no one believed it.
What the hell do you mean looking at Layton to think of peace?
Refugees without money, war orphans who lost their parents, disabled people with lost limbs, farmers without land, etc.
Most of the Layton population are such people.
To those in the know, Layton was a trash can. A trash can where the three kingdoms collect unwanted humans.
But the funny thing is, there are some trash cans that fit.
For example, criminals.
They always had to hide in the kingdom, but there was no one in Layton to catch them.
For that reason, it was obvious what the guys gathered in Layton were doing.
A person who exploits orphans to make money, a person who has created an organization altogether, or even a scavenger in the form of a mercenary.
They were all the same scum, but it was a man named Byron who gathered them and made them obey.
“So, Dino was attacked by a kid who didn’t know his name. Is this what you mean?”
Byron’s voice was very quiet and calm, but the mercenary standing in front of him was trembling like an aspen tree.
This is because he knows that the man in front of him is a monster that devoured the dark district of Leighton in less than half a year.
It wasn’t something that could be explained simply because he was strong.
“Yes, yes! To be precise, he was decapitated by the lion sword Reynol, but without that little boy, Dino-nim would not have suffered!”
“Hmm… … .”
Byron looked at the mercenary with a blank face.
The mercenary swallowed his saliva as it felt as if those dull eyes were piercing through him.
“I am not lying.”
“How could I lie… … .”
“I didn’t say everything.”
“Yes Yes? What are you talking about… … .”
The corners of Byron’s lips rose.
“Why did you run away?”
“Well, that’s because Dino hyung lost and there was no way he could win… … .”
“No, not that.”
Byron stood up and said.
“You ran away before you even fought.”
“Oh, no! I will fight until Dino hyung dies… … .”
“Eighteen, excluding Dino in the raid.”
The mercenary’s mouth was shut. Personnel never reported.
“Five in magic, the little boy you talked about is six. Are you the only one of the seven who ran away?”
“Hey, how… … .”
The mercenary’s face turned pale. Isn’t it like seeing it right in front of you?
“Oh, okay. Just die, you.”
“sleep… … Big bang.”
As soon as Byron finished speaking, the mercenary grabbed his neck and collapsed. His body was already cold.
He just died at the words of Byron.
Byron went to the window without even looking at it.
“It is impossible for a human to have such power without mana. Is it a ‘blue blood vessel’? … … Funny, I thought everyone was dead except me.”
He looked out the window and smiled.
“In the world, the blue blood vessels are enough for me.”
What emotions do blue blood vessels emit when they die? Just imagining it is hopeful.

“Because physical training is rather poison!”
“Because I’m fine.”
“No, it’s not okay!”
After Lynol… … and sighed a little.
A week has passed since I decided to become Ryan’s guardian. At the same time, it was also the period when Rihanna started living together in their house.
According to the original plan, he had to learn swordsmanship from the first day, but Rihanna started exercising.
This is because Rinol has not yet chosen a sword technique that will suit Rian.
Reinol reluctantly gave Rian some pocket money to see the city. It meant that he was going to have a hard time in the future, so let’s play in advance.
Rihanna started exercising at home despite Reynol’s consideration.
Reynol was just weird at first.
It was good to see him working hard without being lazy even at such a young age.
The problem was the next day.
Rihanna, who was exercising, suddenly made an impression and went outside.
Reynold was a little disappointed.
After only one day, I thought I was going to go out to play. Also, is a child a child? While I was thinking, Darin, who was sleeping upstairs, came down.
“Ha ha ha. good morning.”
“The morning… … Can’t you see the sun is rising in the middle of the sky?”
“When I wake up, it’s morning. But where did Rihanna go?”
“I just left. I think he went out to play.”
“Hmm. Are you tired of exercising already?”
“Anyway, even if the body gets stronger there, it will only narrow the magic pass.”
Darin looked at Reinol’s expression and smiled.
“Is it all written on your face that you’re disappointed?”
Rinol flinched and trembled.
I gave up trying to deny it. His younger brother was a player at reading human expressions from an early age.
“… … It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t disappointed, but it’s partly because I didn’t choose swordsmanship in the first place, and it’s actually better not to exercise more.”
“It was my brother who gave me money by surprise.”
“… … okay.”
Reynol held back the desire to hold Darin down.
Because yesterday Darin accepted his stubbornness.
“I am not very disappointed. It’s only been a day, and it’s just a shame that his talent is buried, and I don’t want to force Rihanna if he wants to go a different path.”
“Oh, a mature answer. Is it spring or autumn this year?”
“Don’t be shy, go up.”
“Yeah, old man.”
“… … .”
The problem broke out in the evening.
bang!
“Hey! What, what?”
“Damn, it’s an attack!”
At the sound of a shock heard from the first floor, Rinol raised his magical power.
Robbery in Layton is common, but no big guys ever break into the house of two Class B’s.
Did the mercenaries who ran away from the forest come to seek revenge?
Maybe I should have killed them all.
I hurriedly went down to the first floor and saw Rihanna looking at the broken wall with a perplexed expression.
“When are you back? it’s okay?”
“Oh that… … I’m fine… … .”
“Who is the attacker? out!”
“… … Yeah? Are you a raider? Oh, wait!”
Reynol ran out to chase the assailant, but returned shortly thereafter. This is because passers-by, let alone the assailant, looked at this with fearful eyes.
Rian explained the situation to Reynol, who returned with a puzzled expression.
“… … You said you went out to buy heukcheol stone because your bare body workout was so boring?”
“Yeah, I heard hewitite is the heaviest.”
“And I swung it around and missed it.”
“… … Well, it’s so much lighter than I thought… … .”
“How many kilos was it?”
“… … It’s 200 kilos in the blacksmith… … .”
“… … .”
“… … I’m sorry.”
Reynold didn’t nag because Rihanna had a look of genuine regret. The wall had to be fixed, and no one was hurt by luck.
I don’t know how the body came to be.
From the next day, Rihanna went to the paid training ground.
It was a place that rented a space to practice if you paid a certain amount.
Reynold explained that further physical training was rather harmful, but Rihann casually said it was okay.
It wasn’t okay at all, but Reynold respected Ryan. I explained the magic pass in a way that even non-natives could understand, but that’s a disease.
exercise addiction.
Up until then, he had considered his role as a guide, so he had no intention of forcing Rihanna to quit the sport.
A guide only shows the way.
You can’t drag it down the road. It was said that it was until less than a week before the training ground owner came and ejaculated.
“I’ll give you all the money back, so please don’t let him go to the training ground!”
“Calm down and tell me. Did Rihanna do anything wrong?”
“I did nothing wrong. Rather, it was my fault.”
“… … what do you mean?”
“I hired 10 mercenaries to kick him out.”
Reinol opened her mouth in shock.
“No, if you say you didn’t do anything wrong, why would you do that… … .”
“I would have done it if I had to!”
At the master’s momentum, Rinol flinched.
“Once he leaves, there are no tools left! The floor is all smashed, the walls are punctured!”
“… … You didn’t dry it.”
“You mean the guy who knocked down 10 mercenaries with his fist?”
“… … .”
“And you didn’t come to dry me now.”
It is said that Rian is scarier than he, who is a B-grade mercenary.
Returning the master, Reynol thought.
I’m not going to do it this way.

“So, did you get your money back?”
“… … okay. They said they wouldn’t take it, but they gave it to me.”
“That’s fortunate. If you didn’t give it back, I was going to rip you off the neck.”
Reynold sighed and looked at me.
what? I did nothing wrong.
“I heard the owner’s point of view, too.”
“I understand, what do you understand? Which store hires mercenaries to kick out customers? Ten people too.”
“… … It is, however.”
“Initially, I thought I was going to make up for everything that was broken. Who was the first to hire mercenaries?”
Darin, who was standing next to me, said something about whether my brother looked pitiful.
“But to make up for it is the money my brother gave me in the first place… … .”
“If you give it to me, it’s over. Isn’t that the money you gave us to spend on this in the first place?”
“… … No, it was the money I gave you as a surprise… … .”
“I usually play like this.”
Reynold sighed again.
“Yeah, that problem is over now. But stop training.”
“Am I really okay?”
“okay. Originally, I was going to respect your opinion. But still, your talent is too precious.”
“Is that all?”
“… … You’re also treating your exercise addiction.”
Reynold’s position was also understandable.
This world is a world in which you can fly while swinging a sword, but, funnyly, exercise was not recommended.
It’s not that people in this world are particularly low in testosterone. It’s like doing magic training during that time.
‘Exercise addiction’ is actually registered as a disease.
Even that standard is 2 hours a day.
It is said that if you exercise regularly for 2 hours a day, you are considered a disease.
That is why I destroyed so many training grounds. What is the training ground designed for training that is so small?
Anyway, I can’t stop exercising.
The real ability of a ‘superman’ is not that the performance of the body increases, but that the ‘limit’ of the body disappears.
The more you train, the stronger you become, and your magic pass expands.
“I told you a few days ago, but even if I train my body, my magic pass won’t narrow, right?”
“Because there is no such body. Do you know that all the knights are stupid and don’t train?”
“Is there anyone who has trained as much as I do?”
“… … .”
Even Reynold couldn’t answer that. ’cause you’ve never seen it Darin, who was watching from the side, intervened.
“I heard that the solution is not simple, is it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Tomorrow is the day when the Magic Tower will test the magic pass. Can you take that?”
“ah… … .”
“I did not know?”
“No, we had a test machine at home… … Do you do something like that in the tower?”
“yes. I get money.”
Reinol’s face brightened.
“great. Then we’ll have the test tomorrow and we’ll talk again. okay?”
“ha… … I know.”
I need to exercise… … .
