Chapter 89 – Sinabro (5)
Standing at 180 cm, he is quite tall for a woman.
Brilliant blue eyes shining under long eyelashes.
A big, sharp nose and thick… Not thick lips.
The eyes, nose, and mouth are all pretty and big, but the face is very small.
It makes me wonder how it got all of that.
“Did you understand what I said?”
It seems that there is a lot of power in the big eyes.
It seems that it was done that way on purpose to instill a sense of intimidation to the other person.
Otherwise, there would have been no slight biting of the lips or shaking of the pupils.
The strong expression he made with effort felt pitiful to me.
A foreigner who set foot on a distant foreign land in order to make money and succeed.
How much of her mockery would be poured out on her, and how much of her black hands stretched out at the sight of her pretty face.
That expression is more like a defense mechanism.
To protect you from all sorts of threats that want to grab and shake you.
Just as a puffer fish inflates itself to intimidate others, she inflates her spirit so that others do not look down on her.
“Did you go to America? When people speak, they respond.”
“…….”
Before thinking, I need to loosen up the stiff atmosphere.
To those who are full of vigilance, a clumsy apology is only poison.
In this case, giving her an apology in a serious way, even if it’s a little excessive, will help to solve the twisted first meeting with her.
“I’m sorry. I was just watching because he was so good at sports, and I had no ill intentions.”
Her spirit softened even more at the polite apology he handed her while bowing her head.
“Huh… ! I will only look at you this once.”
No, it’s not at the level of softening, but the corners of the mouth are slightly raised along with the snort of joy.
It seemed that he liked the compliment he gave along with the apology.
Since the atmosphere seems to have turned around well before it gets intimidating, let’s share a shout out like this.
“Since it happened like this, should I say Tongseongmyeong?”
“Container… , Name?”
Elena frowned.
Was the word Tongseongmyeong a bit difficult?
“Uh… , Introduce yourself.”
“Ah! My name is Elena Mikhailova Dobreva. Feel free to call me Elena.”
A stiff, polite self-introduction, as if memorized from a conversation book or something.
I almost burst into laughter at the contrast with his overbearing attitude from before.
“I am Dojin Kim.”
Her eyes widened when she heard my name.
“Dojin Kim… ? You, I know.”
The words are a bit odd.
Do I know Elena or does Elena know me?
Just looking at his happy expression, it seems that the latter is right.
“There are many rumors about you. A great wizard.”
Haha, is that so?”
I did vaguely know.
Wherever I pass, there must be one or two people who look at me and whisper.
“Well… ! I felt This meeting is destiny!”
“Yes… ?”
While panicked at the sudden sudden acceleration.
She stretches out her arm and grabs her hand inside her.
“Dojin, I know. Your party is still short of people.”
How else did you know that
Maybe it’s because I’m diligently learning information in my own way.
She has a deep wish that she must earn money.
What is more important than making money right now is probably graduating from a Korean university with high grades.
Only then will you be able to receive a scout offer from a good guild.
I don’t know, but I think she has quite a lot of information about parties organized by talented people in her head.
“Do-jin’s party, Offense Power is great. But it’s loose, front.”
“Five….”
Front means the front row… ?
I know the pros and cons of our party, and it’s much better than I thought.
Showing off her precise analysis, she put her hand on her chest and spoke in a confident voice.
“I can be. Dojin Party’s Core Piece!”
So… , In other words, it means that you can make up for the weak points of our party with loose battle lines, yourself.
A burning desire shines in her eyes.
As if he would never let go of me, the grip that holds my hand is getting stronger.
That’s probably because she’s in an urgent situation.
“Hmm.”
I know her grades.
One of the lower ranks of the tanks.
It is almost at the bottom of the lower ranks that are struggling to compete with the last.
This was due to two fatal flaws.
One language.
If you look at it now, you can have a casual conversation, but you can’t understand difficult words.
Of course, all classes at Korean universities are in Korean.
In other words, every theory test is making porridge.
No matter how famous Korean universities are for their practice-oriented curricula, it does not mean that theories are not important.
In terms of grades, practice is 7, and theory is about 3.
The problem is not only that.
If it had been this far, her grades wouldn’t have hit the floor like now.
What is the second reason… , As everyone knows, because of the characteristics.
Just by looking at her body, you can tell that her basic skills are solid and her basic abilities are excellent.
However, the characteristic is an irrational ability that goes beyond common sense.
She means that even tankers who are less than her can perform better if they make full use of it.
Isn’t she even in a situation where her traits work as a minus rather than a plus?
It is difficult to show outstanding performance even in practice on the floor of the theory test.
A situation was created in which her grades naturally plummeted to the ground.
“As Elena said, our party is thinking of recruiting one more tank. That’s right….”
How to do this.
If you look at the hardware, she’s an excellent lumberjack….
First of all, there is one thing you need to know.
“Can you tell me what Elena thinks about her strengths and weaknesses?”
“Pros and cons….”
Elena’s complexion darkened.
Her strengths and weaknesses have already been identified.
Even so, asking directly is to find out how conscientious a person he is.
When forming a party, there are two types of people that should never be included.
People who are selfish and people who lie like they eat rice.
I wanted to know if she belonged to her or not.
She seemed to be thinking for a moment, but then she opened her mouth.
“My strong point is that I am strong and strong. Fast to the feet! Again, Elena, a brave warrior. I will never back down.”
Truly a natural wood for tankers.
“Then what about the downside?”
“The downside, uh….”
Elena chewed her lower lip and closed her eyes tightly.
“I am poor at Korean. Difficult words, I do not understand.”
One relatively light thing has been revealed.
“And another… , My characteristics, a little strange.”
“Weird?”
She nods her head heavily.
“I spill it to the undamaged ground. Then it’s created, the slow zone. Enemies slow down. But my friend, too, is slowing down….”
First of all, the first personality test passed safely.
I think I want to recruit… , Still bothered by the characteristics.
“Elena.”
“Tell me.”
“Can you show me that characteristic?”
After thinking for a while, Elena nodded her head and said.
“Well… , Shows. But it needs damage.”
Oh, I said it was a way to create it by channeling the shock it received on her body.
I wonder if it’s just a few light magic shots….
“It’s a bit difficult to do here… , Let’s go to the training ground.”
“Good.”
We immediately left the gym.
“My shield, bring it. I’ll see you in the training room.”
“Okay.”
Elena leaves to pack her gear, and I head straight to the next area where the training room is.
Fortunately, there was a private training room left, so I rented it right away.
That’s how Elena came back.
On his back is a huge shield that almost covers his entire body, and sweat runs down his forehead.
It seems that he jumped with that on his back.
“I didn’t have to run.”
Then she gave me a cool smile and gave me a thumbs up.
“It’s okay. I am very strong.”
Even if you have strong stamina, it wouldn’t be difficult.
I really like that patient character.
“Then let’s go in.”
Step inside her personal training room, which she rented before she came.
A facility of about 30 pyeong.
Stepping inside her, Elena’s eyes widen.
“Personal training room… , This is my first time.”
The personal training room is a space that can only be applied for by students with high grades and exceptionally admitted students.
It must be the first time for Elena, whose grades are still in the low ranks.
And it’s my first time too.
As I said, I was very lazy until now, so I only knew about its existence, but I had never entered it.
It’s not bad for the size, and the walls are strong, so you can make a fuss to your heart’s content.
“Then shall we do it?”
“Um, good.”
Elena raised the shield she was carrying on her back and stood it in front of me.
“I am ready. You are welcome to come.”
With her tower shield covering her upper body and most of her lower body, she feels like a wall.
So let’s just fire some light magic.
It moves the mana that flows clearly around it and forms it straight away.
「Fire Ball.」
A crater the size of two adult male fists put together.
“Then are you leaving?”
“Come.”
She threw her fireball at her, glaring at her magic with her strong eyes.
Her fireballs, flying at her high speed, land on her shield, which she erects.
Fireworks scattering brightly.
She didn’t back down a single step and blocked her magic without difficulty.
“Characteristics, coming out.”
With those words, changes began to take place in the land centered on Elena.
Dark magic flowing under your feet.
It flowed into the ground, staining the floor within a radius of 1m dark brown.
“For now, this is the end of the damage.”
“Well.”
I approach her and step her foot into her brown-tinged deceleration zone.
Then the pace slowed down immediately.
Each step feels heavy, as if her feet were chained.
“This is a great ability….”
The deceleration efficiency is quite good.
Even if this is not enough, it seems to have slowed down by 20% to 30%.
She lifted and put her heavy feet up and down, looking at Elena.
“How is Elena? Does being here slow her down?”
At my question, she shook her head.
“No. I am not slowing down.”
“Five.”
Everyone else is slowing down, but not as slow as myself….
I think I know roughly what the problem with this feature is.
“It’s good.”
“To? Ah… , What did you just say?”
I laughed and told her.
“Elena, let’s party with me.”
