Haroon

Practice

Early in the morning, the crew rushes to Harun's room, one by one. Everyone knew that Harun had been called out last night.

“I have something to say first. Tino has agreed to join our mercenaries. His knowledgeable experience and immersive knowledge of geography will be of great benefit to us. ”

“If it's Tino, I vote yes. ”

“Me, too."

Everyone agreed, even though it must have been a surprise. That's how much Tino put his trust in the group on the way here.

“But there are precautions. Tino is a man of diverse knowledge and experience, so be careful how you deal with him as old as you are. Especially Shirine! If you disregard Tino or treat him lightly, I won't let you down. Be careful. ”

“Piet! I like that. All right, boss. ”

Shirine, who was thinking about pouring a banana tino on her body, was disappointed, but politely replied. After answering the question, Harun pretended not to know even though she had the food to pour him out somehow.

‘The rest is Tino's. ’

Harun sends Philip to fetch Tino and greet everyone. Although it was a place to welcome new recruits, there was no need for formalities because last night we already empathized with our strong teammates through drinks.

Tino has been assimilated with his crew shortly. Even though he was so speechless, his face or attitude toward the crew seemed comfortable because he had been drinking and vomiting gold together.

After a long time of warmth, Harun was clean and changed the atmosphere.

“I received a new request from the writer yesterday. ”

Harun told me the truth about the new quest. The faces of the men who heard the story were serious.

“Captain, what are you going to do? ”

After Philip was curious or noticed by everyone, he approached the well and asked. A faint anxiety emanates from your voice. Something seems to be snagging.

“Let's get a bird's order. Earl John had business to attend to anyway, but Mount Hookran was right in the middle of it. Although it's uncomfortable because the hall is cold and doesn't fit well with people, I can't help it. You'll have to earn some extra money on the way. ”

“It's not about the escort, Captain! The Hookran Mountains are too dangerous. It's a forbidden place filled with hideous monsters from hell! ”

A frightened sigh screams evil.

In the words of Birch and Debron, he speculated that Mount Hookran was a dangerous place, but the problem was largely blown.

Shirine and Latrina's tight-knit face darkens. It's definitely dangerous to see their faces.

But Harun's heart did not change. They didn't know, but he had every reason to go.

‘The legendary redoubt remains in the Fuchran Mountains. I was thinking of going alone, which is great. ’

But that's not what it said.

“You and I are far too good to be strong. In order to make a name for yourself as a mercenary and earn money and honor, you need to increase your skills enough to use Mana quickly. In my opinion, the strong monsters of the Hookran Mountains will be the perfect match for us. ”

Harun's words make the group ponder for a moment, but soon they shake their heads.

I was born as the progeny of a reputable mercenary, and I decided to walk that path. Of course, I was eager to give up the skills I saw to the Empire. However, the problem was that the way to do it was to fight the legendary horn-rimmed monsters.

Unlike Harun, a foreigner, I couldn't help but be afraid of those who only had one life.

“Yes, but…. ”

Shirine tries to dissent, but Harun's words end it. Harun glares at them with a reminder.

“I was much weaker than normal people, and I was able to keep up with your skills in a short period of time because I trained and trained with my life's worth. You don't know how many times I almost died from my training. But my body was young and strong enough to catch up with you. Of course, we can slowly improve against the right monsters or bandits. Actually, that's it. But we're young. We have to challenge them. When are you going to outrun them by training them the same as everyone else? ”

For those who trained like Harun, he was a monster. Of course, they did not remember the first appearance, but compared the first time they were watching Harun with now, they made enormous progress comparing it to the birds flying with the birds.

At the base of my heart, when I was jealous of Harun and hated him, I was afraid of him and I was jealous of him. They claimed to be exceptional.

Harun said that everything they had worked hard to achieve since childhood had only surpassed them in three months.

“But are you really confident? ”

“Hehe, don't you know my personality? ”

Philip nods, checking back in on Harun's doctor. Harun saw and experienced very little, but his will and struggle were the best. He knew better than anyone that he was so jealous of that he was focused on his goals.

The first step was Tino, a new recruit.

“Very well. I'll go with you. I don't have a family to go back to at this age, I don't have people waiting for me, but I have to explore places that others won't dare go. I'm not going to leave a fancy inscription even if I die anyway, but I have to satisfy my curiosity. ”

“Tino.”

“I admired the captain's breath. I remember when I was a young man walking around as a mercenary or as a guide for novitiates because the empire was small. It was really good then. My heart trembles like in the days when I lived in the face of danger through paths that no one else knew. I was ashamed of myself for wanting to go around like that again someday, but I was shy of my age and my weakening flesh. ”

Tino smiles brightly. Though several deep wrinkles were scorched by the sun as he grew older, his eyes were as strong as that of a young man running towards his dreams.

“All right, boss. Let's go!”

Philipp bites his lips tightly, with the best head and physical materials. I don't know how it was at first, but it was Philip who surrendered to him, who was still improving while he was accompanied by Harun and his mistreatment.

Moreover, it was strongly influenced by the curious words of an older Tino. Aerobics and comets were triggered.

“I don't want to be pushed by someone again. If you train like the commander, the commander won't be beaten by the others. I'd rather die than go through that again. ”

It was also a phillip-down decision with a strong sense of curiosity and pride.

“I'm going too. It's not because you think you're going to cure a disease. Unlike that of all the mercenaries I've heard of since I was a kid, I thought it would be fun to join the commander. I hate monotony. I'm scared to death, but I'm so excited and excited to pee when I think I'm going to such a scary place. ”

In Latrina's words, Syrine and Zitan look at her with strange eyes and scream the same.

“Crazy bitch!”

“You're crazy, Hohoho. But it's exciting to live like this. It's better to fight tough guys than to deal with the same Goblins or merchant escorts fighting bandits. ”

At her words, Syrine and Zitan shake their heads, but their faces are wide open.

“I'm going too. Although it was frustrating to have a job that didn't suit my sophistication and beauty, that was the only thing I could do. But I'll show you my real skills on this trip. ”

Shirine stopped speaking there, but there was more to her gaze at Harun. Harun's determination to show that he would never do such a crappy job as eating, washing or butchering, and his grudge to make him regret ignoring himself, made Harun look confident.

‘Whatever. It's not like I'm taking her with me. ’

Harun's relaxed attitude gave a strange relief to the lucky four. His attitude was not wavering at all.

“Oh, shit! Then I'll go, too. ”

“You're a coward who can't go anywhere alone anyway. Big guy. ”

“What! I'm a shield skill now, too. ”

Even the words of Zidane, who was beaten by Shirine's Pinzan, are vague but confident. Of course, his eyes were still shaking with fear of the coming, but his heart was fluttering.

“First I have to repair the equipment and buy what I need. Birch has authorized access to the lord's direct forge. He said he'll give you a significant discount. Let's go there. ”

The group does not head to their homes, but asks one of the soldiers to head for the forge. A blacksmith in the lord's line is the place to make weapons for the Knights and Territorial Guards. An incredible scale of skilled blacksmiths have crafted weapons as they rotate into a bundle.

Harun was able to find good weapons here. Not where the proper weapons were displayed, but where the weapons to be disposed of were left unattended, they were found to be essential shields for the earthquake.

A shield bent outward at the center of the magnitude enough to completely conceal the massive earthquake's body was also advantageous for bouncing the weapon. Even though the steel was rusty and solid, it was heavy enough for an adult man, but the earthquake lifted its shield lightly with one hand.

“Hahaha, this is it! ”

Whether he liked it or not, he didn't think to remove his shield from his hand. It's a forged shield with no embellishment or markings, but it matches strangely. I could see exactly how monstrous a lightly wielding shield with so much weight was.

He chose a small, light round shield on his wrist. It was an indispensable piece of armor for her, significantly less combat strength than the others. And I picked a set of five well-refined, sharp blades that I needed to peel off easily and prepare for my meal.

Harun, Philip, and Latrina don't have the weapons they need. Of course, if you just gave it to me, I would choose, but it wasn't free.

“There are a lot of good things, but why... ”

The Workshop Leader who guided them seemed to have a bit of pride in their poor eyesight, but Harun didn't mind.

“How much?”

“Give me 50 gold in total, since they were meant to be disposed of and you had the Lord's command. ”

Birch said he'd only pay for the hard work of mercenaries, and he didn't say he'd pay for it for free.

“Oh, and look at our weapons. ”

Harun unsheathes the steel sword from the sword and gives it to the Workshop Leader. The rest of the crew fights back and forth with their weapons.

“You didn't hurt yourself that much. Since they are the Lord's distinguished guests, we will do repairs and flying for free. ”

Harun and the Lucky Four brightened the face of the Workshop Leader. In fact, it was expensive to buy weapons, but I couldn't ignore the money I spent repairing them. Even that, while waiting for repairs, Harun's words make both Zitan and Shirine's faces cruelly frown.

“Zetan and Cyrene, the money you pay for these weapons is on your payroll, so I know that. ”

“Commander!”

“Where is such a law? ”

The two were fierce faces, but Harun froze.

“Then shall I buy you weapons to save your lives? ”

The two of them looked distasteful, but they couldn't say anything. Having weapons or equipment is what each mercenary should do. That's the rule of mercenaries. I have nothing more to say.

I bought the weapons I needed, but had more work to do. After all, the hall was only able to start after three days because of the kind of work related to Briela, so I had to finish what I had in mind last night.

“Tino, I heard you have the Hall of Warriors here? ”

The next day, Harun brings the group to his room and asks Tino. His questions were filled with curiosity in the eyes of the foursome, but Harun's gaze was on Tino.

“Yes, there are three. ”

The Hall of Warriors was a group of warriors that belonged to the Wizard Tower. It was a group of warriors who were proven to be skilled in the world for a long time.

The users were not sure yet, but here they transfer the skills directly instead of the skill book. However, you must have the right body and qualities to learn the skill of the Yupa wave.

In a no-nonsense game, the Hall of Warriors belonging to the Gateway was filled with unknown civilian masters and was different from the nobles who themselves possessed advanced swordsmanship and knights.

The reason the Imperial Knights failed to enter the Palace Hall was because of this warrior. The knights of the author's knights were mostly from the Hall of Warriors.

I got more information from Debron last night.

“I heard you can get skills there, right? ”

“Yes, just qualify and pay for it. ”

“What is your skill level? ”

“Most beginner skills are transferred if they are not formally placed in the Hall of Warriors. However, if you don't qualify, the Hall of Warriors with a tradition that never transfers at all is a fairly good choice of skills, testing and choosing multiple sides. I heard you can transfer intermediate skills if you qualify. ”

“Good.”

“Then why the Hall of Warriors all of a sudden...? ”

Even the four-man scout looked at Harun with a curious look at Tino's question.

“By the time I got here, Philipp's Smashing Blow skill was almost complete, allowing me to master an intermediate skill. However, the other three have not yet mastered the basic skill level. Fortunately, the basic skills are master level, so I hope you have a good chance there. So is Tino. ”

“Commander!”

Tino opens his eyes unexpectedly. I didn't know Harun thought of it that way. What mercenary commander would give the world a chance to learn a skill for his crew?

“Captain, are you sure? ”

Philip, who knows a lot, calls him with an impressive look to see if he knew about the Hall of Warriors as well.

“We all need to be strong. The only way to get stronger is to cross the chaotic waves that are coming. ”

I still don't know what I'm talking about, but I was looking forward to seeing Zidane, Syrine, and Latrina, who are still blinking their eyes, assuming that something good was happening to them.

“Let's go first. A qualified person is an easy opportunity to become strong, and an unqualified person has to realize the skills that are right for them in practice. ”

“Well, I still have to pay at least a few dozen gold to learn a skill.... ”

Tino worries about money in the meantime.

“I have that kind of money. Don't worry. Of course, it can be hard to travel when you're finished, but don't worry, you can collect herbs or sell monster hide in the middle of the day. ”

“Greetings, Commander! ”

Tino greets Harun with an impressive face.

“Thank you, commander. I didn't know you cared this much about us. I'll remember the commander's heart, even if I don't have the right skills for me. ”

Philip is also moved by the sound of his words. Even the three bears, who didn't know the specifics, became fierce eyes.

“Let's go test our luck and qualities first. ”

- The men are very grateful. Receiving a genuine and loyal heart from your crew, your leadership increases by 150. It also increases loyalty by 300.

Harun was more satisfied with the unexpected guidance, but his feet were lighter.

Tino's surprise gift made him feel lightweight, and he made it to the Hall of Warriors on the outskirts of the castle in no time.

The Hall of Warriors is painted on the wall next to the gate with a huge shield. However, the shield painting was a bit unusual. Not just a shield, but short, sharp blades tucked upside down in its corners, giving it a frightening feeling.

“I'm here to test my skills. ”

Tino shouts, standing by the open door with no one there. Inside the door was a large training ground and a simple long wooden condition, and someone walked out of the building.

“I feel like an Ogre. ”

Like Shirine's whisper, he has a huge body reminiscent of an ogre that approaches them very quickly. He quickly stood in front of them because he was overwhelmed. He was wearing unusual armor.

He placed a large blade in the middle of the armor, which was attached to a piece of steel. The area was shoulders, elbows, buttocks, back, and chest. Although it looked funny, it seemed to be quite useful in melee combat.

He gazes at the group one by one in a speechless, intense glare. From an indifferent and hard face, just standing in the same space gave me a creepy and creepy vibe.

Shirine and Latrina for his glare flinch and lay their eyes on the floor. Their temper is usually over a long time ago.

The one whose eyes stopped was a sigh that had suddenly fallen behind Harun and Philip.

“There's one qualified. You, give me 50 gold. ”

The man he pointed out was a frightened sighting. He's already twitching his legs.

“Good. I'm qualified. ”

Harun did not hesitate to remove 50 gold from his arms.

“Follow me. You have a week to train. ”

He turns around and goes inside without even checking if the earthquake is following him.

“Yes, commander. I'm scared.”

Seeing the sighing of the sighing of a sigh of sighted sighs trembling without ever before, I felt really frightened.

“Learn hard. If you learn a skill and come out, you'll be able to fly an Orc in one blow. ”

“Really? ”

It was like a child today.

“You can do it. There's nothing to be pushed even from a big angle. So study hard and come to the writer in a week. ”

The earthquake still ruffles, but it clenches its fist until the blood clears. That's why he was so scared. He wasn't lacking in warrior qualities. However, the back of the man who went inside was like a beast entering the slaughterhouse.

“What skills should I learn? ”

After the earthquake disappeared into the building, Shirine asked Philip as if she were jealous.

“Hmm, I don't know. ”

“It's probably a shield. ”

At the same time as Philip's answer, Tino's words continue.

“You can tell by the unique symbols. ”

“I see.”

People could hear Tino's words and learn the characteristic skills of this Yupa.

“Let's go somewhere else this time. ”

At Tino's words, the group looks at the building where the earthquake disappeared for a moment with jealousy and anxiety. Then they take off.

Tino, who knows the geography of this writing like his home, has made it a short visit to the Hall of Warriors. After all three locations were paid, only Harun and Shirine remained. Philip enters the Hall of Warriors with a thin, sharp sword, and Tino and Latrina enter the Hall of Warriors with a flying sword like a bird.

“Tsk, why am I the only one...? ”

On the way back, Shirine shed tears. In fact, Harun was also qualified in both places, but he refused. In the end, Shirine was the only one who had not been chosen.

“There must be something you can do. There were only three places here.

Harun comforts Shirine, who is in tears. It was Harun who suffered the death of the four lucky men, and he couldn't just hate him as he had always hated him.

Shirine wept without saying anything all the way back, whether she had suffered a great deal of heartache even at Harun's consolation.

Once Shirine has been taken to the entrance of the guesthouse, Harun lets her in and heads back out. There was one more thing to do.

‘We need to make the deposit quickly before the hallucination runs out. ’

Since he started Beyond, all of his money was 656 gold 10 silver. Among them, he donated 50 gold to instructor Hector, 50 gold to buy weapons and 150 gold to the Hall of Warriors. The remaining 406 gold is stacked in your inventory.

Bell predicted that in just a month's time, the illusion would stabilize and drop to 20-30 won per gold and 10,000 won at worst. I liked to change to cash as soon as possible.

Much of it was taken away by medical designs and travel expenses for the lucky four, but they are the home children of the world, and they are growing up with conscience, so I no longer feel that way.

Harun stopped by the bank just to see if he could return 400 gold coins.

‘Dammit! They'll be here sooner. ’

It was only a short time ago, but it had already fallen to 60,000 won per gold. As the levels of the users rose and the number increased, it was evidence that overall trading activities such as production activities or item transactions were becoming active.

‘But where is 24 million won? ’

He made an enormous amount of money that people living in District F would have to work for much longer than a decade. Actually, it was Harun who didn't realize it because it was too much money, but he didn't even know where to spend it.

But moreover, it was only an obsession that herbs, especially the market price of wild ginseng, should earn more.

‘If you train diligently, you may make this much money again. But how can you play without a job for as long as you want? ’

Harun stepped out of the castle on his way to the guesthouse. I was afraid to see Cyrene crying for a few days.

I thought it would be better for me to practice my skills on this occasion.

One day, the sun was setting.

For five days to this day, Harun has been practicing his messenger walking skills on a grassy plains by the river. I practiced with all my heart as much as I experienced the amazing effect in reality.

Thanks to this, his mind was exhausted for several days, but he didn't know to stop due to the increasing amount of Mana that grows to the day.

The reason I just kept walking restlessly was that my Stamina rose by 3 and my Concentration rose by 3. Not only that, it rose two times to the heart, which did not rise much at the end of the power to feel the breath and muscle movement.

That wasn't the end. I had a result I hadn't even thought of.

The result of training messenger walking with all-heart power in a concentrated, uninterrupted state is a skill level increase. As the darkness was about to settle naturally onto the grasslands, he could hear a cheerful prompt.

-Messager Working Skill level has increased. Now you can sprint. This is a phase in which sprinting can be used at the same time as inhalation of Mana, and Mana cannot be accumulated.

Harun was surprised by the sound of the guide.

For other skills, an increase in skill level was not indicated at all. Sense sword or two memorization skills did not raise the skill level or produce any prompts. This was so different from his experience with virtual reality games or his common sense.

"Speed bump"? ’

Harun considers the skill with a new name for a moment, but knows nothing.

‘After all, this messenger walking skill included new details at every stage, as Bell said. It's amazing how many of these skills are included in one skill. ’

When Debron first gave me this skill, I was fascinated by the fact that I could build Mana just by walking.

He had experienced the tribe of Mana every time because of the scoundrel, so he was immersed in the content of this skill that increased Mana just by training, not items.

Moreover, the messenger walking was more than twice as fast as usual, and with its fine but growing Mana, I couldn't help but train with more effort when I had nothing special to do.

‘Belle was right. ’

Harun admired Sazambell's power. She had already foreseen that.

It was roughly three things Bell did while he was enjoying the game.

The first was to build an overall knowledge of the world. He said he had access to the WGC electronic library and would accept his knowledge through extensive data. I didn't know how security level got information there on an emergency day. It was none of his business.

The second was to build his body. She was creating such a creature with the same flesh as humans. It was not a cyborg made of some or all of the elaborate mechanical components, but a body that was compatible with the encapsulated body, which is a physical being with certain life phenomena. Of course, that's impossible in Harun's mind. I've also experienced the appearance of Bell, who has a body that is only a shell this time, but still feels physical.

The third was to search for information on Beyond and keep track of trends. This was entirely for Harun, the owner. Even in terms of quality and quantity of knowledge, which is the process of accepting it and making it your own, even though Harun's ability to log out and communicate information is not within reach, Bell's goal is to exchange information through Harun's brainwaves, which are playing games.

She was also analyzing a number of skills used by users, which were somewhat open.

- Maybe it's passive. It's too detailed. It's too detailed and massive for one skill.

When he died and was in reality, he boasted to Bell about the details of his skill.

“Yeah? I don't know why you need this detailed description and sophisticated detail for a move, but isn't it great that you build Mana just by walking? ”

- I don't think it's that simple, brother.

Bell tilts the Federation's head.

“What are you talking about? ”

- The other skills I acquired and looked at were not detailed or in large quantities. Although these passive skills require manual training, the content of these messenger walking skills is at least three times longer than other intermediate skills.

Harun agreed with Bell's analysis and said what he thought.

“Is that why this skill requires such delicate movements? Maybe it's more about breathing. ”

- It could be. But it seems to me that this skill is made up of a number of detailed skills. And of course, because of the consistency that goes through the whole thing, we can't really figure it out, but once we do, the secret will come out.

“Hehe, then it's better for me. I hope Belle's right. ”

And Belle was right.

‘Speeding……. ’

Harun pondered for a moment, but he knew nothing but that he had evolved into running, not walking.

Harun has been trained to fully understand the contents of his skills and to tailor the type of breathing, the intensity and length, the short gap between breathing, and the movements of his feet and waist.

Probably thousands, maybe even tens of thousands of times, of the same move. Moreover, because he did not feel it, training in a strong concentration had several times the training effect compared to others.

Thanks to this, Harun trained even though it was only for a few days, but he remained superhuman for a while.

‘Let's do it first. ’

If you can't see it with your head, you have to try it with your body.

Harun starts walking slowly, synchronizing his breathing and movements.

Whee.

Though it is invisible to the eye, I can feel a light Mana moving from the ground to the soles of my feet, such as azirang. This sensation was now palpable at any moment.

Let's run! ’

Harun recalls the name of the sprint and fiercely plunges his toes into the ground.

Get it!

The grounded body is heavily pushed forward. It was as if he had fallen forward, but his body had once hit the ground, flying a distance of almost two meters. However, the height of the construction was not very high.

Get it!

His toe treads the ground again in a gentle connection from the toe to the sole of the foot. He flew close to two meters with his body pulled forward as if he were barely standing on his toes.

Whimpering.

At that moment, Harun's body shakes as he sees the distance he travels. He breaks his breathing and movement.

“What is this? ”

No matter how much I thought about it, it was ridiculous. I couldn't believe that he moved about two meters per step. It was like flying a ram, not running. I was that light.

‘Obviously Mana got out. ’

I did.

The moment he stepped on the ground and completely touched the ground, Mana came into the sole of his feet, and the moment he gave his toes strength to kick the ground, he made a whirl and headed out toward the outside. At the time of entry, Mana circled at a rapid rate at the center of the sole of the foot, but at the moment of leaving, more than five times. I didn't even seem to have used the Mana I had accumulated while learning my skills.

Having not yet learned Mana Flow, he had not accumulated Mana in any special place, but it was just a natural buildup in some parts of the body, but he did not feel that he had used the existing Mana at all.

Do you think it has something to do with rotation? ’

Perhaps. To him, the Mana of the Earth, coming from the soles of his feet, felt like gasoline. The moment it rotates strongly in one place and is ejected out again, its force increases.

‘Phew, that's amazing. I can run like the wind at this rate. ’

Harun regains his senses, restraining his excitement and returning to the beginning to match his breath and body. Could it have been an unbelievable result? After several failed attempts, he finally became immersed again, and his body began to show off his naturally advanced messenger walking skills.

Whether it was thanks to three or more intensive stems from the recent days of frenzied training, Harun was able to clearly experience and feel his new messenger walking skills while maintaining immersion.

Even though it was a bit of a strange posture, Harun's fast-paced grassland appearance resembled that of a horse. No, I couldn't compare it to the horse. because his stamina wasn't wasted that much while running. Most of the momentum was not his muscles, but Mana's.

Harun's appearance on the grasslands of darkness was as swift and mysterious as a thousand horses with wings, but unfortunately, no one saw him.
