Raise a Warrior 66

Chapter 66 – Chapter 15. I’m by Your Side.

Jihyeok finally created a guild. It took two weeks from application to approval. The application fee was not too high. Even so, the reason why guilds were created was because guild laws were applied to guild members who joined immediately. That was the reason Jihyeok couldn’t forcefully bring the orc healer Gorsh.

Gide, Yayel, Mahushu and Kayak joined the guild. Grace and Grendal decided to make a decision after they went on this expedition.

With this, the guild-related work was completely finished. Jihyeok now had to prepare for the expedition. The period of rest between the mission and the next mission was only half a year. A little more than three months had already passed since he returned from Crescent Moon Lake, so the time left was not that long. A little over a month left now.

When you become an A-class hero, the time limit increases to one year, and for S-class, the time limit itself disappears, but there are still several years left to reach that point.

Anyway, Jihyeok had already decided what to do with this expedition. He had to hunt demons to avenge Grace and Grendal.

He went to the Mission Depository and personally got the Mission Manuscript Scroll. It was a mission to defeat the demon Genevi.

It was a state where the B-class hero raid team received a mission two years ago and failed, and the contribution rate rose to 80 points as it was neglected for two years after that. In order to be promoted from Class C to Class B, you need to achieve 150 contribution points, so if you accept and complete this mission, you can fill more than half of your points at once.

Devil Genevira…

It was in a labyrinth in the monster plains in the southeast of the continent. In terms of distance, it was much closer than the last expedition. However, the level of difficulty was not to be underestimated. It was a mission that had already been confirmed with a high contribution in that it had to go to the Monster Plains.

The climate of the Plains of Monsters was milder than here. The climate wasn’t bad for camping, but the problem was that there were a lot of weed bugs and it was easy to rest unless it was dried food. Still, there was a river, so there was no need to worry about drinking water.

In fact, the horror of the Monster Plains was the swamp nestled in the middle. In order to go to the labyrinth, you must pass through the swamp, and that was quite an ordeal. Still, everyone had some experience in the first expedition, so I believed that it would pass without too much difficulty.

Anyway, there are a total of four cities to go through before reaching the Monster Plains. There were no big cities, two medium cities and two small cities.

The time taken for the expedition was generously set to half a year. The distance was definitely shorter than that of the Western Devils, but I thought it would take a while to enter the labyrinth and catch the devil in the Plain of Monsters.

It was obviously a tough road. That’s why the warriors don’t even try to look at this side.

Still, Jihyeok decided that if he thought about getting both Grace and Grendal, it would be an unconditional gain. At least among healers, it was rare for someone to be as good as Grace.

Although there was a constraint that he had to protect because of his weak body, his career in the warrior team for several years was absolutely not something to be ignored. Compared to mercenaries or guilds, the probability of casualties was much higher, so surviving for a long time meant that they had excellent improvisation and talent.

Of course, I have problems with being a smoker, cursing, anxiety, and sometimes even having seizures… , That will gradually get better in the future.

Jihyeok prepared for the expedition for a week. Now that everyone is experienced, they thoroughly prepared themselves.

All equipment was also replaced with new ones. Especially for Yayel, he paid a large sum of money and bought a staff with a small magic orb attached to it.

Orc Grendal was surprisingly an archer. It was not just a bow, but a huge horn bow made from the monster’s bones. When a string made of twisted tendons was hung on it, it became an enormous bow that ordinary people would not even dare to pull. Of course, its destructive power was beyond imagination.

He practiced archery every day. It was probably because he had lost his senses after taking a break for two years. Still, thanks to a lot of experience, the accuracy rose steeply.

Yayel also keenly felt the limitations of low-level fire magic and tried to learn more high-level combat magic. Still, it was definitely a theory course, so my understanding of magic was considerable. Although imperfect, after constant practice, he managed albeit clumsily with high-level fire magic. Of course, it was absolutely impossible to use it in battle yet, but if you practice consistently for a long time, you will become proficient.

After making all preparations, they finally set out on the expedition.

Ah.

Grace’s eyes trembled as she saw the walls of the capital leaving after two years. As she watched the city walls ripen red as the dawn broke, she was nostalgic for her old days.

Grendal too, her eyes sunk as she watched the city move away. Even in him, a strange feeling bloomed unusually.

Healer started shaking her body. She urgently looked for a cigarette. Her hand holding her pipe trembled. She was suffering from anxiety. But she pretended to be unconcerned. Her grendall watched her with a concerned look on her face.

“Are you okay?”

“… It’s okay. Don’t mind.”

Gide, who had been quietly observing the atmosphere, stretched out noisily.

“Cybeol, it hurts a lot because it’s only in the capital, but it’s just fine.”

The bald guy gave her colleagues a quick glance, laughing ironically.

“Now I’m a bit more successful, isn’t it? Now I am also a member of the guild.”

Mafushu stabbed him right in the middle.

“You are not very useful. I’m not good at being beaten.”

“I’m sorry, if I was really useless, the captain, uh, would you please ask me to become a guild member, huh?!”

“… Did I?”

When Jihyeok said that, Gide made a soft noise at once.

“Ah, Captain, at times like this, you should just say yes and move on.”

Colleagues laughed. The tense atmosphere quickly dissipated.

Grace has calmed down a bit now. Grendal also looked at her colleagues with a slight smile on her face.

… It was a good team. The orc felt calm for the first time in a while.

Jihyeok looked at the two newly recruited men and said a word.

“Don’t be too burdened at first. Recall the old senses step by step. If you experience it for a while, the feeling will come back soon.”

“Yes, chief.”

In the morning, the sun soared over the horizon. The darkness has been blown away.

Grace was afraid, but she forced herself to muster up her courage. For a dead lover.

… And for yourself.

Three days after departing from the capital, they made the first camp of the expedition. It was the first camping trip in two years for Grace and Grendal.

“Everybody get a good night’s sleep.”

They each spread out a rug and lay down in their comfortable seats. Jihyeok watched his comrades lie down in front of a burning bonfire. Soon the surroundings became quiet. Only light breathing was heard.

Jihyeok soon sat down. I saw a beautiful night sky. He looked at it for a while, then closed his eyes and went to sleep. But after a while, I suddenly heard a groan.

The hero reflexively opened his eyes and looked at the source of the sound. It was Grace. She was having a seizure, twisting her body. He ran quickly

“Grace, Grace… !”

He took her in her arms. And gently patted him on the back.

“Yeah, it’s okay. I have The captain is here, so don’t be afraid. Hmm? I will protect you. Yes yes good Calm down. Shhh, yes.”

Calmed down, she cried silently in his arms. Everyone quietly got up from the commotion. However, Jihyeok put his finger to his mouth as if telling him to pretend he didn’t know, and gave him a wink to lie down and sleep. Seeing the captain’s beckoning, they lay down again and closed their eyes.

He patted her back gently. After a while, she gently pushed his chest with her hand.

“Now, I’m fine… I’ll sleep.”

Her voice was hard. She was ashamed to reveal the ugliness she wanted to hide.

“Okay, sleep well.”

She lay down He too went back to his seat.

Grace tossed and turned for a while before she fell asleep.

· · ·

Ten days after leaving the capital, they finally arrived at the first city. It was a place called Gehel, the middle city. It was an ordinary city with nothing special to say.

Jihyeok did not go to the inn and went straight to the castle. Now that he had become a real warrior, not a candidate, there was nothing wrong with being a nobleman. It was more comfortable and safer that way.

The Baron of Gehel was a chubby-looking man. They welcomed the visit of Jihyeok and his party.

However, there was a guest who came here a day earlier than Ji-hyeok. He was on his way back to the capital.

Who is it?

I was thinking of seeing his face at least once, but the other person seemed to be in a hurry, so he came to Ji-hyeok first. As soon as Jihyeok saw him, he felt sorry for him.

“Are you that human hero?”

He was a man with a muscular body. He was one head taller than Jihyeok, and he was a man with ferocious eyes and sharp fangs that showed up whenever he smiled terrifyingly.

Of course, Jihyeok knew him well. He was someone I couldn’t possibly know. … Because he was notorious even among warriors.

An A-class hero, Nabur, a werewolf beast.

I had some bad luck. I never thought I’d meet him here.

“Who are you?”

“Navre. He is an A-class warrior.”

“Ah, that’s right. This is Kang Ji-hyeok. It’s a C grade.”

Navre held out his hand. Like a handful, his hands were thick and rough. Jihyeok looked down at his hand for a moment. He slowly stretched out his hand cautiously.

Then, suddenly, this number-one warrior stretched out his hand to grab Ji-hyeok’s throat. It was quite fast. However, he had skills far inferior to his teacher, Azel. Naturally, the outstretched hand could not reach Jihyeok.

… Look at this bastard

The gnome looked at the human who had dodged his attack with curious eyes. It must have been a joke, but he didn’t run rampant all the way because he avoided it.

“I thought the rumors were inflated, didn’t they? You definitely have a knack for it. On human subjects.”

It was a disrespectful tone, but Jihyeok didn’t care at all and replied calmly.

“Is this the prisoner’s way of greeting?”

“This? My greetings. Why? Are you feeling dirty?”

Like a rumored bastard, his behavior and disposition were dirty. Ji-hyeok met a bastard he didn’t want to associate with.

“It’s just a bit unfamiliar. Remember it next time.”

However, Jihyeok was moderately polite and did not push back.

Seeing that, Navre laughed eerily. However, Jihyeok did not blink an eye. He seemed to think it was guts.

“It’s been a while since I met a junior I like, huh? … Fuck, it was no fun because everyone was scared when they stood in front of me.”

“You mean? Why?”

Soo-in laughed louder. It was really funny to see his shoulders sway.

“Fuck, there really are people like this among humans. Hey, it’s really fun I also have skills. It’s the real thing, you bastard.”

Ji-hyeok remained calm even if he did this kid and that kid. Gone are the old evenings, when one could barely speak at all.

His eyes were full of excitement. Jihyeok should have bowed in moderation, he had no intention of doing so, but he didn’t have to be servile when he was no longer a candidate. … It’s just that shit is dirty, so I’m thinking about avoiding it.

“If it’s a compliment, I take it gratefully.”

“Yeah, that’s a compliment. I really like you, you.”

Navre looked at Jihyeok for a moment.

“Come to my room later. Understand?”

“What brings you here?”

“Just. I want to give you a present that made me happy.”

Jihyeok didn’t know what that gift was. He thought he would refuse. There’s no need to mess with him here. It would be the right choice to give in moderately and then fall out.

“All right. I’ll come later.”

“Okay, see you then. Human.”

The guy laughed heartily, flipped him up and down once, then turned around and walked away. The fierce air finally subsided.

He had been known for dirty rumors for a long time. He caused minor incidents from Class C, and then showed his ferocious fangs in earnest from Class B.

He often caused trouble even among fellow warriors. There were many sayings that he had a close relationship with the alley leader. That’s why the imperial family also picked him as a person of interest.

Anyway, there was nothing good about losing Chuck with him. Ji-hyeok will be leaving soon anyway, so he’ll just have to deal with him in moderation until then.

A baby without a dick.

But, he really didn’t have a dick.

It was just this guy that showed how ruined a male who lost his cock could be.
