Possessing Nothing

I feel the look.

Zeon was silent and looking at Lee Sung-min's face quietly. The smoke rising from the thick cigar bitten by Zeon's mouth was obscuring Zen's gaze, but Lee Sung-min felt Zeon's gaze beyond the smoke.

Zeon was interested in the boy sitting in front of him. Boy. Lee Sung-min was still a boy. Although he suffered a lot and looked old, he was still 18 years old. I have not passed the terms and conditions.

“Fantastic.”

Zeon put the cigar down. Bern looks around at the smoky room and opens the window. But Xeon didn't care about Bern. Even if Bern is the Branch Head of the Behenger Mercenary Guild, Zeon, the head of the Corona Mercenary Corps, was more powerful than Bern, but never more.

“I heard you were 18. It's... well trained. You caught the ogre chimera, didn't you? ”

“… Yes. ”

Hearing Xeon's assessment, Lee Sung-min thought about what he should look like. Whether to be happy or bitter. In my past life, I had never been noticed by Zeon.

“I'm good at hiding my vigor. Evidence of good internal affairs. Your physical development may seem a little immature, but the muscles you need are clearly trained. ”

The poor development of the body is because it did not eat properly. He was also becoming aware of it. Zeon glanced at Lee Sung-min's hand.

“Hands. Hands that swing their spears a hundred thousand times over. I like it.”

“… Thank you. ”

“You said no class, right? ”

Zeon listened to the cigar that was placed on the ashtray. After washing the smoke a few times, Zeon completely lost his cigar to ashtrays.

“Did you do the hard work or the hard work? ”

“... I think it's both. ”

“Of course.”

Zeon chuckles.

“I used to be in no class, too. I know how fucked up this world is for no class.... Nevertheless, I have to admire how far you've come. ”

There are very few aliens who have a name for Eria who are in no class. Zeon, the head of the Corona Mercenary Corps, was one of those rare no-class heretics. Among the many mercenaries with Lee Sung-min, he chose Corona mercenaries and somehow entered the end because he admired Xeon.

No, to be precise, it wasn't admiration. What Lee Sung-min wanted in his previous life was salvation and compassion. Lee Sung-min... wanted Zeon to save himself. Since it was the same oak class, I expected Zeon to sympathize and throw any cake.

Of course it didn't. There were a lot of Nor classes that joined Corona mercenaries with the same emotions as Lee Sung-min, and Zeon didn't give them all a single glance.

“Join the Corona Mercenaries. ”

Zeon opened his mouth.

“I've heard about your skills. Subdue Ogre Chimera alone. With that level of performance, we'll soon be in SS class. If you join the Corona Mercenaries, I'll sit you right under me. ”

“... You want to give me a place in the Vice Guild Master? ”

“I don't think that's a bad offer. ”

“Is that what you're suggesting because I'm in no class? ”

“It's not like that. You're just greedy. You seem to have crossed the threshold at that age, so if you have enough time and support, you may be able to cross the wall of the peak completely. ”

“You mean you can give me that time and support? ”

The question lifted Zeon's mouth. He puts his hand inside his chest and pulls out his little neck. I thought it was a subspace pocket, but it wasn't. Inside the neck is a small potion. The room was filled with queasy cigarette smoke and was surrounded by a fresh scent.

“This...”

Bern looks surprised when he looks at you. Similarly, Lee Sung-min's face was stiff.

“The Summoners.”

Zeon folds his arms.

“It's one of Shaolin's non-transitional groups. It's not as powerful as the Great Bandit, but it has the power to overpower the crazy elixir. ”

“... You want to give it to me? ”

“Instead.”

Percussion. Zeon closes the lid on his neck.

“Tell me about your skilled artisans. ”

“Just a name?”

“No, the verdict. ”

He said that, and he looked ridiculous. Even though the Summoners are valuable elixirs, they are hard to compare with the immortal souls, the Nine Heavenly Catholic Churches, and the autonomous crafts that Lee Sung-min learned.

“I refuse...”

“I'll give you the team. ”

Before Lee Sung-min's words were finished, Jeon said.

“If you can tell me the difference between your skills, I'll give you a grand delegation. ”

“… I don't understand. Why are you asking me to give you a verdict? ”

Zeon is the master of Vaccine. He is a fast learner of Shaolin. He is acquainting himself with Shaolin's most regarded missionaries in the Old File Room. I didn't understand why Zeon, who didn't use the spear method in the first place, asked me to tell him about the Nine Heavenly Catholic Church.

“Because I can't trust you. ”

Zeon replied.

“I don't intend to learn the shaman you taught me. Just so you know. That way I can prepare you for your betrayal. ”

“You think I would betray you? ”

“You're not the only one. ”

Zeon was a horse by placing the closed neck box in his arms.

“I don't trust people. Giving them trust inside doesn't guarantee that they'll trust me the same way. Humans are such beasts. You... are a greedy talent, but you're also too much to hold in your arms. So tell me the verdict of no man. ”

Even so, it's an outrageous thing to ask for a verdict. When Lee Seong-min's expression changed badly, Jeon added.

“Like I said, I don't intend to learn your art. I just want to know. If you tell me about the separation of the Unsullied and join the Corona Mercenaries, I'll give them to the Summoners as well. How's it going?”

It was embarrassing to ask for a verdict, but frankly, the things Zeon wanted to give me were tempting. If you take the Summoners and the Great Bandits, you will gain a tremendous increase in the inner workings of Lee's people.

“I decline.”

But that's what Lee said. At that, Zeon's eyebrows frowned.

“Is there something I want to give you? ”

“No, it's not. Great Bandits and Summoners... I think it's a elixir of more than one value in neogenetics. ”

“Then why? ”

“It's the same reason as you. I can't trust you either. ”

It's not that you don't trust people. I can't believe Zeon. In Seongmin's reply, Zeon shrugged slightly.

“Too bad.”

Zeon raised his head as he said so.

“If you change your mind, find me anytime. I'm not changing the terms. ”

Lee Sung-min did not answer. As Zeon leaves the room, Bern sighs, silent.

“Looks like Zeon's keeping an eye on you. ”

Unfortunately, I didn't get the Great Bandits and the Summoners, but I couldn't help it. Informing a man without a job is too risky.

“Oh, right. Let me tell you a story that might interest you. The ogre chimera you caught. I'm having a hard time investigating this on my own, so I've decided to work with the Wizard Guild of Behenger. ”

“Is that so?”

“Would you like to take a look? ”

“What do you know I can see? ”

“You're the one who fought it. They want to hear from you, too. ”

It was hard for Bern to refuse to talk like this. He nodded his head because it wasn't urgent at all.

The Wizard's Guild of Behenger is located shortly with the Mercenary Guild. If you think about it, this was the first time I came to the Wizard Guild. In my past life, Lee Sung-min had nothing to do with magic. Scarlet taught me a few magic tricks in this life, but that doesn't make me used to them.

“Are you interested in magic? ”

“I… am interested. ”

“Magic is a wonderful discipline. If anyone asks what a miracle is, I will answer without hesitation. Miracles are magic. ”

Bern's face was filled with pride in the magic he had learned. The gaze of Lee Sung-min who was looking inside the wizard's guild with an interesting eye turned to a sphere that was floating in the air.

“What's that? ”

“A magic stone. Do you know what a magic stone is? ”

“I know it's the stone that stores Mana..." ”

“Yes. Magic stones are for storing Mana. Magic stones are used in all artifacts. The same goes for subspace pockets. ”

Bern waits to see what kind of mechanism the subspace pocket has. I put the magic stone in an existing bag or box, hid it with spatial distortion magic, then enchanted the expansion spell again and let Mana in... That elaborate explanation was half-leaked to Lee.

“This way.”

After talking for a long time, Bern guides Lee Sung-min. It was underground in the Guild Building that Bern took Lee Sung-min. Bern, walking down the long corridor, stops at the red door.

“I'm studying ogre chimeras here. ”

Soon after Bern knocks, the door opens. As he entered the room, Lee Sung-min gasped for disgusting air and swallowed his breath.

“Hmm.”

Bern could not have imagined that such a scene would unfold. It was... horrible in the room. The corpse of the decommissioned ogre is floating in the air, with scattered intestines lying on the floor.

“Are you here?”

A man in a white robe approaches Bern and Lee Sung-min.

“… what the hell is this? ”

“I'm investigating. ”

The man shrugs. Unlike younger looking faces with fewer wrinkles, there were many white swordfish on a man's head. The man who answered Bern's words with a gentle look on his face saw reason.

“… oh. ”

A blanket appeared in the man's eyes.

“This is very... rare... Hmm. ”

The man mutters and stops walking.

“Oh, it's too late for introductions. My name is Jonghyun Kim. ”

The man lowers his head slightly.

“Who are you? ”

Both eyes full of curiosity turned to Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min was slightly surprised by Kim Jong-hyun's name. It was not because he knew who Jonghyun Kim was, but because his name was the same way as Lee Sung-min.

“... I'm Lee Sung-min. ”

“Are you Korean?”

In Sung-min's answer, Kim Jong-hyeon smiled and asked. When Lee Sung-min nodded his head, Kim Jong-hyun laughed.

“Well, even if you're Korean, you don't come from the same level. Probably a high chance... You and I are from another level of Korea. ”

That's where Eria is. Randomly summons the Inheritor in all dimensions. Even though it is the same middle school Moo-rim, just like the different dimensions, Seong-min was born and grew up in Korea.

“Korea, where I was born... No, the Earth was a monster. Monsters protruded from all over and Awakened, and Hunter or Wizard was born. How was the Earth you were born on? ”

“... no monsters popped out. ”

“Another dimension, then. Well, it's still fun to meet the same Korean. ”

Kim Jong-hyun said that and reached out to Lee Sung-min to shake his hand.

“… but it's not necessarily that fun. ”

Kim Jong-hyun smiled strangely.
