chapter 12
12 – Between Secrets
*
The moment I came out of the dungeon, I felt a presence around me.
There was something about the size of a goblin, so he immediately put down Yeokcheon’s secretary and ink dragon ring, and swung his sword toward the place where the presence was.
The moment the translucent membrane was neatly cut in the air, I stopped pulling out the sword.
“Hey!”
When the sharp blue sword stopped less than 0.5 Cm from her head, the girl sat down and urinated. It was an unsightly sight, but I have nothing to say because I was the one who created this horror.
Since there were no monsters using magic here, the existence in front of me meant a human being, but I didn’t think to see the flow of magic because I felt the presence of people as soon as I came out of the dungeon.
“…I’m sorry. As soon as I came out of the dungeon, I felt a sudden presence, so I swung my sword first. Are there any injuries?”
“Ugh… I’m not hurt…”
A girl with a faint moaning sound, looking at her lower body soaked in hot yellow liquid, as if it hurt from being hit on her buttocks.
“Please take responsibility…”
“Yes?”
“How do I get married after doing this..?”
‘Why do you ask me that…’
She seems to have lost her composure.
Wouldn’t it be possible to see a man peeing on a man outside? Of course, I had the confidence to jump right into the Han River if I got tired in front of an extramarital woman.
“Wait…”
This time, I can really feel the monster’s presence. It’s an established fact that monsters with excellent senses of smell flock to you because you smashed lemonade in a mountain full of monsters.
The unicorn wolf, which has a very good sense of smell, swarmed with the leader. Although it is not very strong as an F-class monster, it is a troublesome monster to deal with because it has a good connection with its own kind.
Especially, the two horned wolves leading them were E-class monsters, so it was dangerous for low-level wizards who could enter this mountain.
To avoid a guy like that, most of the time I work with the smell removed as much as possible, but I was the one who made the girl in front of me emit a strong smell, so I have to deal with it. Is there anything else I can do?
“Twin Horned Wolf…?!”
She immediately gets up from her seat. I put my hand on her waist for a moment.
“What did you do all of a sudden…!”
“I’ll borrow it for a moment.”
She drew the magic sword from her waist. It’s definitely a lot lighter than Vulcan’s iron sword I got. I tested my new ability with this magic sword and the iron sword I was holding.
‘Sword swordsmanship.’
When I use the artifact effect in the game, I didn’t shout the starter word, so I thought I would use it too, but I really felt the two swords near me floating in the air and connected.
If it’s like this, even when I wield the sword myself, I don’t think I’ll have to do anything to limit my form due to the movement of sword swordsmanship.
Concentrating on the two swords, I immediately threw them at the two-horned wolf, and before he had time to react, I simultaneously used a vertical slash and landed a blow, no, a blow to the wolf’s neck.
An attack that contains 60% of my strength and swordsmanship proficiency. One might not have been enough, but the two horned wolves were decapitated neatly, probably because they cut them down at the same time.
Aww-
And the unicorn wolves, who confirmed that their head had fallen off in seconds, began to cry and run away.
No matter how strong the camaraderie was, the strongest leader died without a proper resistance, and it was right to run away even if his life was precious.
I immediately retrieved the two swords and handed the magic sword to the girl with a dumbfounded expression.
“Well written here.”
“High-level wizard…?”
It was not strange to be misunderstood like this because he killed E-class semi-boss monsters in an instant.
‘Of course, this is the limit.’
Thanks to my swordsmanship proficiency that is unusually high compared to my magic control ability, I can deal with E-class or lower monsters as Munchkin-class, but from D-class, which activates the magic field in earnest, there is no choice but to be blocked.
With my swordsmanship skills, I would be a normal beginner swordsman, so D-class monsters would be fine, but right now I only have a handful of magic power, and I can’t handle even that properly.
I will be able to deal with D-class or higher monsters only after I have changed my talents as a secretary of Yeokcheon and thoroughly trained in seniority to obtain the magic control ability that suits my swordsmanship level.
“How many things can a high-ranking mage do to come this far?”
“Since you said you came out of the dungeon, aren’t you here to clear the dungeon?”
I didn’t expect that I could clearly remember the words that seemed to pass by earlier.
“That’s right… Oh, I can show you this.”
He took out his wizard license from his sweatpants pocket. Even the fact that he was an F-class wizard, Choi Ha-joon, and Nanrang was 17 years old, was a certificate with everything written on it.
“Grade F… Is that the same age as me?”
Now that I heard that we were the same age, I remembered it. If the playable character does not acquire the secretary of the reverse, the character who clears this dungeon instead, Han Seo-yoon.
Because he came from a rich family, he even carried around pockets in subspaces, and of course, there were various kinds of items for attacking, and among them, there were bombs that did not use magic.
After getting her secret secretary, she becomes a student with a considerable reputation. After getting close to her, she asks how her skills suddenly soared, and she tells the dungeon where the secret secretary came from. Used to give
I accidentally stumbled and forcibly entered the dungeon, but when I threw everything in the subspace pocket, it suddenly cleared? He was a really lucky guy.
However, since I took out the secretary of the opposite direction, it became almost impossible for her to get high grades, even if she could enter the academy.
Because she couldn’t get a secretary of the opposite direction, she was always in her lower ranks. Even though she is, she is already from a gold spoon, so even if she doesn’t become an outstanding wizard, she will eat well and live well.
“Wait, I left something there, so I’ll bring it back.”
“Okay. And since we’re the same age, take it easy!”
‘Is the child less suspicious?’
Maybe it’s because she knows that she’s the same age as her, or because she saved her from a pack of one-horned wolves.
Even if they’re the same age, it wouldn’t be easy to do this from the beginning.
‘Like someone who knew me from the beginning…’
But it’s probably not because it’s the first time I’ve ever talked to a girl with such attractive pink hair and eyes.
First of all, I took Yeokcheon’s secretary and Mukryonghwan that I had put down earlier.
Since it is annoying to carry around, Mukryonghwan just kicked it around his wrist and ankle without increasing the weight or burden, and Yeokcheon’s secretary just carried it with one hand.
It would have taken less than a minute to wear the Mukryonghwan and take care of the secretary of Yeokcheon, but Han Seo-yoon managed the lower body somehow well. It must have been washed with water magic and dried to some extent with fire or wind magic.
It was still a bit wet, so I took off her coat, took off her top sweats, and handed it to her.
“Cover with this.”
It’s a bit tight inside, but since I’m wearing a shirt, it’s okay to wear a coat again. Just as she was about to put her coat back on, she opened her mouth with a surprised look on her face.
“A scar on my arm…”
‘Ah. I forgot.’
My arms are all covered with scars from knife cuts.
‘If anyone sees it, they’ll think it’s a Yakuza who has walked the path of Sura all his life…’
I can see the scars that are severe. Still, it was an unavoidable problem because if you didn’t cut it to this level, you wouldn’t be able to train the Huron tribe.
“It must have been very difficult…”
She makes an expression of pity. But that feels a bit excessive. Although she has some scars on her arms, I don’t think they’re enough to make that expression.
“But… I don’t think it’s good to hurt yourself.”
‘No, how…’
How did they figure out that I had harmed myself just by looking at the knife wound?
‘Oh.’
After thinking about it for a while, she came to a sense. In the first place, in a world where wizards exist, there’s no way yakuza-like guys can carry swords and carry them around, and sparring with people is done with magic.
No one uses magic swords as their main power, but only in the realm of auxiliary, and even if they put enchantments in their magic swords and use them for attacks, is there anyone who can cut the opponent’s arm to the point of leaving scars in sparring?
As I did before, the moment the protective barrier is breached, the water will stop there.
Among the monsters, only a few use a sword, and even those monsters are higher grade monsters, so getting hurt by them wouldn’t have ended in scars.
Then there is only one reason for the numerous knife wounds on my arms.
‘Self-harm.’
But come to think of it, this isn’t normal.
That means that most people will think of self-harm whenever they see the scars on their body in the future, and then I become a self-injurious person until these serious scars remain.
Becoming a Prozaharer was the saying. I can’t help but think about what kind of strange story he had that he could harm himself to such an extent.
‘The real image is really messed up…’
I asked her, thinking that she should refrain from showing her body to others in the future.
“Maybe… Can you keep it a secret from others?”
She may not know it yet, but we will soon meet at the same school, and just imagining what her school life will be like if she spreads the truth about my self-harm is a gem.
Even if you say it’s your own training method, there is no such training method in this world as the heuristic training method, and there is a high probability that you will think it as an excuse for self-harm.
And even if you believe in the training method, a madman who harms himself countless times to train his body vs. A pitiful person who harms himself because of an unfortunate story.
If you ask me to choose between the two, I think the latter is correct.
‘It’s better to be a poor person than a madman…’
So she asked to keep it a secret with a serious expression, but her expression also became serious.
“Of course. So you… You know…?”
‘Ah..!’
I also held in her hands the fact that she peed on her.
That’s how we came to hold each other’s secrets.
