I Became A Childhood Friend of A Mid Level Boss Chapter 10

Became a childhood friend of the mid-boss (9)

I feel like I will wake up to something.

When my father heard what I said, he couldn’t object.

“yes? help me.”

“hmm… .”

My father was also a swordsman.

There was no way he didn’t know that enlightenment didn’t come whenever he wanted.

In the end, my father raised the white flag.

“after… . Okay, I got it. You have to push when push comes to shove, because if you give up vaguely, you won’t gain anything. Instead, I will intervene whenever I think it is dangerous. okay?”

“yes. “Thank you, Dad.”

“Okay, then let’s go out of the gate first.”

“The keys are here.”

I handed the keys to my father.

Soon we left the dimension door.

When I came back after a brief blackout, we were standing in front of the artificial gate with our backs to us.

“I’m going to return the key and go borrow a new one, what do you want to do? “Do you want to rest here?”

“No, I will go with you.”

There was an environment in the room where the hunters who came out after attacking the gate could rest for a while.

It seemed like I was going to take a break while waiting for my father.

I couldn’t do that unless it meant putting me in a corner.

I decided to turn away from the sweet temptation and follow my father.

Eventually we arrived at the warehouse.

“Branch manager, are you back already? There must still be quite a bit of time left… .”

“Haha, it somehow ended up like this.”

A little while ago, the receptionist who had lent my father the key noticed us and tilted his head as if he was puzzled.

Then, as if he understood the situation, he spoke in a regretful tone.

“Oh, that’s it… . It seems like it’s still too much to do in practice. It’s okay though. “It’s actually quite surprising to be competing at your son’s age.”

“I think I’m misunderstanding… .”

“It’s okay, I understand.”

“… .”

“We can do better next time. I will support you. “Fighting, son!”

“… .”

The receptionist looks at me with a bright smile and takes a fighting stance.

Perhaps she mistakenly thought that I had failed to attack the gate.

I decided to correct that illusion.

“If it was a real match, I did well.”

“huh?”

“I said I conquered the gate.”

“hmm… “Branch leader?”

“Gyeonwoo is right. Really.”

“… “How old is your son?”

“I turned 12 this year. “It’s 5 seconds.”

“then… “Are you saying that a 5th grade elementary school student just attacked the gate?”

“It’s not that surprising to people from a famous family. Yes, sometimes. “It’s not uncommon.”

But it’s not that common… .

The employee’s lips moving silently seemed to be saying just that.

My father and I decided not to worry about the employee’s reaction anymore.

My father put his arm around the reception desk.

“So, what do you mean?”

“yes… . “Please speak, branch manager.”

“Since there is still time left, can I borrow another gate key?”

“Originally, if you want to rent a key, you have to let us know one day in advance… .”

“Oh my, is this not possible?”

“But of course you can become the branch leader. “I will take care of it.”

“okay? thank you so much. “Next time, I’ll have to throw a company dinner to thank the people in my department for their hard work.”

“I’d rather have a bonus than a company dinner… .”

“So, what do you mean?”

“Yes, branch manager.”

“Can I rent something a little more difficult than this?”

My father handed the box containing the gate key to the receptionist.

I took that moment to intervene.

“Please make it gray.”

“No, white is fine.”

“… .”

I think a gray level would also be possible.

My father pushed me away as I approached the employee with his hand.

The employee looked at us blankly and then turned to my father.

I decided to listen to my father.

“Then please wait a moment.”

The receptionist took care of the formalities and disappeared into the warehouse.

Not long after that, she came back with a box.

“It might be a little more difficult than the one you rented a while ago. The grade is white grade. “The conditions for the strategy are enclosed in the box.”

“hmm… This is probably okay. Ok, thanks.”

“Then I wish you good luck.”

“Gyeonwoo, let’s go.”

My father read the paper in the box and nodded.

Soon, I took the box and quietly followed my father as he turned around.

Meanwhile, I didn’t forget to give my opinion.

“Wouldn’t a gray level have been fine? I think it’s at a level where I can deal with rank 2 monsters… .”

“Son.”

“Yes, Dad.”

“Dad, is there something you want Mom to kill you for? “If it gets known that I’m doing this now, I’ll be dead to your mother.”

“Then it’s better to die… .”

“Are you my son?”

“It’s a carrot.”

“Carrots are Mongsil’s favorite. It’s still too early to reach rank 2 for your skills. “It might be possible if we fight too hard, but it’s too dangerous.”

“yes… . “It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do.”

“Let’s start with white and move up step by step. Not all white is the same. “Don’t think it will be the same as before.”

My father’s judgment will not be wrong.

I guess I don’t have the skills to reliably conquer the gray level yet.

I decided not to raise any further objections and to just follow without hesitation.

Meanwhile, my father didn’t seem relieved about me attacking the gate this time.

It wasn’t long before.

“Oh, Hongcheol!”

“Branch manager? The thing next to me… .”

“It just so happened. Even if that weren’t the case, I was thinking that it would be better to have one supporter now. “Isn’t it time?”

On the way to the artificial gate.

My father suddenly called out to a clan member who was passing through the hallway.

The man holding the stone sword turned around when his name was called.

“It’s okay if you have time… . “What are you doing this for?”

“My son is trying to attack the gate for a real battle this time. But since it was a bit difficult to attack this time, I thought it would be better to have a supporter right next to me just in case.”

“Oh, is that so? I have to help, he’s the branch manager’s son. hi?”

“… hello.”

A supporter who specializes in magic that assists hunters, such as healing and buffing.

My father decided to bring a supporter with me in case I got hurt.

I exchanged greetings with a man who introduced himself as Bae Hong-cheol.

After that, we found the gate.

“This time we’ll go right inside. “Be careful, monsters may rush at you as soon as you enter.”

“yes.”

“Then the gate will operate.”

My father inserted the gate key.

We stepped through the gate.

[Entered the gate.]

[White: Pink Crystal Cave III]

Looking away from the message, I looked around.

‘Is this the same world as the one I fought in a moment ago?’

A cave made of blue rock walls.

A pink crystal growing there.

Lastly, the monsters… .

“… !”

It was right then.

Suddenly, an electric current flowed through my body.

When I sensed my avoidance instinct kicking in, I immediately moved my body.

widely!

There was an arrow stuck right where I was.

“… .”

I raised my head toward the direction the arrow came from.

Goblins were found hiding in the shadows of the blue rocks.

There were also those who hid behind the crystals.

The number was significant.

Knock, knock… .

Even before counting them all.

Those who had launched the preemptive attack began to come down from above all at once.

It was then that the message appeared.

[The attack conditions are as follows.]

[Subdue the monster.]

[Goblin (Rank. 01) x 4]

[Goblin Swordsman (Rank. 01) x 7]

[Goblin Archer (Rank. 01) x 3]

[Goblin Wizard (Rank. 01) x 1]

15 in total.

There were not only ordinary goblins but also professional goblins.

‘driving me crazy… .’

I guess I’ll have to cancel.

For me, the gray level is still too early.

As soon as I landed on the ground, I clicked my tongue as I saw the goblins scattering around me.

‘The avoidance instinct is kicking in.’

My gift was delivered.

If you want to live, run away quickly.

Even though I created the situation I wanted, when I actually ended up in that situation, I felt a lot of regret.

* * *

My son has changed recently.

Do Gyeon-woo, who used to be surprised and show vivid reactions when someone joked with him, has now become bold enough to not consider his own pranks a big deal.

On the contrary, he teamed up with Do Ye-eun to the extent of causing trouble for himself.

As a father, I couldn’t help but be surprised to see my son, who obediently obeyed his parents and did not reveal his opinions as much as possible, show such behavior.

It wasn’t a bad change.

It was a good change.

‘I’ve become a lot braver these days.’

Although he didn’t say it all this time, Do Gyeon-woo’s father, Do Sang-jun, was deeply worried about Do Gyeon-woo.

My son clearly grew up good and upright. However, he grew up to be so kind and upright that he became a child who cared for others before himself and hesitated to hurt others.

It did not fit the environment of the new sword Taoist school, which pits members of the same generation against each other from the age at which they can hold a sword.

So he continued to be pushed out of competition and ridiculed by his family members.

My son, who smiled happily as if he was born to wield a sword when he first held it in his hand, began to cry every time he held it.

As a father, Do Sang-jun wanted to help his son in any way he could, but it didn’t work out.

He only showed a bright face for a brief moment when he was swinging his sword, but his face quickly darkened when he went to the swordsman’s studio or his home.

However, when Do Gyeon-woo entered the 5th grade, he showed a different side.

―I probably changed because there was a girl I liked in my class.

Although it looks like a rabbit, it is actually a fox, even though my wife said so.

Do Sang-jun thought that there must be another reason why Do Gyeon-woo changed.

He was a child who was afraid of hurting others and showed hesitation when using a sword.

There must be a different reason why such a child swings his sword resolutely, as if he had a clue.

Do Sang-jun was sure.

―Hello, Gyeonwoo’s father. I am a person who teaches swordsmanship to Gyeonherd at a swordsmanship center.

―Ah, you were a Gyeonwoo instructor.

The swordsmanship school that Do Gyeon-woo attends.

It was during that time that I met a swordsmanship instructor who was teaching Dogyeonwoo and his students at the swordsmanship center.

He happened to stop by a swordsmanship studio and was able to hear a story about Dogyeonwoo from the swordsmanship instructor.

-That’s it… .

―Yes, please tell me.

-Not long ago, Gyeonwoo got into a big fight with the kids. Do you know anything?

-yes? Are you a cowherd?

-Oh, judging by the reaction, it seems that Gyeonwoo didn’t talk about it.

Do Gyeon-woo got into a fight with the kids under the pretense of sparring.

The children were unilaterally defeated, and Do Gyeon-woo threatened the instructor, who was trying to stop the fight, with the name of his family.

Do Sang-jun couldn’t help but believe his ears after hearing the swordsman instructor’s words.

-There is no way my child would do that. If so, there must have been a reason.

―I understand your feelings, father, but… .

Even though Do Gyeon-woo had changed recently, I thought he was still kind, upright, and considerate to others.

He was never the type of child who would hurt others without reason.

Do Sang-jun believed in his son.

That’s why he didn’t fall for the sword instructor’s words, but instead interrogated him about facts the instructor didn’t tell him.

As a result, Do Sang-jun was able to learn facts he did not know.

―So, Gyeonwoo… She was bullied by those kids?

-I… Father, it’s not bullying… The kids played lightly with each other. At that age, aren’t you supposed to be so obsessed with your own power that you play around and do things like that?

-Are you kidding me?

The swordsman had been turning a blind eye to the fact that several children had been bullying Do Gyeon-woo under the pretext of pranks.

When Do Sang-jun found out about this, a thousand dollars boiled inside him, and he could not understand that the swordsman’s academy had turned a blind eye to it.

However, if I thought about it calmly, I could understand it to some extent.

―I guess you were asked to keep quiet by another immediate superior?

―… .

-Who is it?

Do Gyeon-woo ended up in this situation because he did not have much power in his family.

However, the child must have foolishly endured it for fear that people around him would get hurt because of him.

When Do Sang-jun thought about that, he couldn’t hold back his anger.

That day, he notified the family and expelled the swordsmanship instructor.

-father! Yes, I was wrong! This won’t happen again in the future… .

-No work. Get out. Please go to my brother instead of me.

Even though he was not strong, he was not so strong that he could not cut down even an instructor who was not a dedicated instructor.

Then he called his third brother and swore at him.

[The joke went a little too far. Okay, sorry. I apologize. I will tell Seungwoo not to do that again.]

The third brother apologized obediently.

However, Do Sang-jun could see that his third brother’s apology was nothing more than a formality.

[Gyeonwoo’s personality must have been very difficult.]

―Are you saying that now?

[Then what more should I say?]

The sound over the phone contained clear ridicule.

Do Sang-jun, who received an apology from his brother, had no reason to be angry anymore, so he had to let go of his anger.

Meanwhile.

‘Yes, that’s right.’

He was very happy that Do Gyeon-woo decided to live without suffering any more.

It’s great, I’m proud of it.

He was proud of his son.

so that… .

-I want to get some real-world experience.

-Practical?

-yes. I want to kill monsters.

When Do Gyeon-woo said those words.

Do Sang-jun wanted to support his son, who was determined to change.

So, even though I knew it was dangerous, I brought him to the gate.

And Do Gyeon-woo showed off his skills very well.

‘You’re doing better than expected. I thought the child would be scared and confused, but he is responding calmly and well.’

Until a certain time, Do Gyeon-woo was evaluated as having a promising future, to the point where he was called a prodigy.

In fact, Do Gyeon-woo at that time was like that.

He learned faster than anyone else, and he knew how to swing a sword correctly with a sensuous feel.

As if his talent had not gone anywhere, Do Gyeon-woo showed off the skills that were once considered a prodigy.

He attacked the gate alone without even needing his own help.

‘But this is too reckless.’

After overcoming his long hesitation, he possessed skills that were comparable to those of his immediate predecessors of the same generation.

Maybe even surpass them.

But that is an assumption about the future, not about the present.

Do Gyeon-woo is twelve years old.

still quite lacking.

You need to calmly take your time and make room for growth.

“Huh, huh… !”

Don’t be impatient like this.

Do Sang-jun gritted his teeth as he watched Do Gyeon-woo deal with a group of goblins.

Do Gyeon-woo had barely killed one person and was breathing heavily.

‘As expected, it’s still too much for your skills. I can’t face that group alone.’

The arrow fired by the goblin archer momentarily grazed Dogyeonwu’s elbow.

If Do Gyeon-woo had not dodged in time, he would have suffered great harm.

Do Sang-Jun was belatedly filled with regret as he watched him struggle after only killing one person.

‘I’m tempted by Gyeonwoo’s words for no reason… .’

He said he felt like he would realize something.

So Do Sang-jun brought Do Gyeon-woo to the second gate like this, but it seems his judgment was wrong.

At some point, Do Gyeon-woo was only focused on running away from the guys and couldn’t even think of attacking them properly.

Do Sang-jun could see the fear on his face.

“Branch leader, wouldn’t it be better to intervene slowly? I think I’ve run out of strength… .”

“… “I guess so.”

At that time, Bae Hong-cheol, who had entered the gate with him, opened his mouth.

He also realized that Do Gyeon-woo had lost the will to fight and was running away.

Do Sang-jun also had no choice but to agree.

‘Is this the end?’

Although he was avoiding it well, the way Do Gyeon-woo looked now reminded me of a prey being chased in fear by a predator.

Now that Do Gyeon-woo had lost his will to fight, he could no longer watch.

Furthermore, the goblins were chasing him and cleverly cornering him to prevent him from escaping.

Their hunt is coming to an end.

Do Sang-jun, who read the trend, decided to intervene in the situation.

‘Gyeonwoo will be very disappointed. But it’s not enough to be disappointing. Even if he couldn’t conquer the gate on his own, it’s really amazing to do this at Gyeonwoo’s age.’ Moreover, wasn’t he moving well while avoiding the group’s attacks?

That alone was a sufficient achievement.

Do Sang-jun decided to encourage Do Gyeon-woo, who must have been intimidated, and started walking.

By that time, Do Gyeon-woo was cornered.

With no place to run, he was leaning against the crystal behind him.

“Hongcheol, prepare the protection magic.”

“It can be activated at any time.”

“Then, the moment the goblins attack, they attack. I’ll kill the wizard first, so you protect the cowherd and the archer… .”

It was right then.

Do Sang-jun, who was giving instructions, stopped talking at that moment.

“… .”

“… Branch manager? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Shall I activate the protection spell?”

“Wait a minute.”

Intuitively, Do Sang-jun noticed that something had changed in the atmosphere surrounding Do Gyeon-woo.

I don’t know what that something was, but it was clear that it was going in a completely different direction than the goblins’ expectations.

Do Sang-jun looked at Do Gyeon-woo with an unknown confidence.

Right after.

Lion’s Needle

As if he knew the direction of the attack.

Dogyeonwu jumped into the group of goblins to avoid the onslaught of attacks.

Push!

Death was instantaneous.

Do Gyeon-woo, who had failed to attack repeatedly due to the goblins’ control, pierced the goblin at once.

It was a movement that was incomparable to previous movements.

* * *

I know.

To deal with a group of goblins, you must first deal with the archers and wizards who are sniping at you from behind the group.

However, the goblins holding swords were blocking their approach.

“Tsk… !”

Even if you want to get close, you can’t.

It was quite annoying for the swordsman to be covered by archers and wizards.

The connection between the seven was strong.

If any gaps were found, ordinary goblins filled them.

But goblins weren’t the only enemies I was dealing with.

‘My body is moving on its own again!’

Gift, there was also an instinct to avoid.

Gift had not stopped acting from the moment it recognized them.

Hurry and run away from here.

If you stay here, you’ll die.

The avoidance instinct warned me and kept trying to move my body.

Every time that happened, I had to fight against my instincts and deal with them.

‘Listen to me, please!’

The body did not move forward as if something was holding it down.

On the other hand, when I turned towards the goblins, my feet fell off easily.

Where is that?

Kieeek!

At a speed that even I couldn’t believe.

As I moved to run away from the goblins, my avoidance instinct responded and forced me to run.

But it can’t go on like this.

Ten lions…

shit!

When I got the chance to attack the goblin archer, I hesitated for a moment.

The avoidance instinct got in the way.

Is now the time to do that?

Quickly run away.

Gift seemed to say so.

As a result, I hesitated to take action, giving them an opportunity to attack me.

“Huh, huh… !”

Going crazy. I’m really going crazy.

It felt like my body would be torn in two, divided by will and instinct.

I feel like my mind is about to collapse.

Nevertheless, I squeezed my energy and went against my avoidance instinct.

Suddenly!

That’s how I managed to kill a guy.

I finally killed the goblin swordsman and felt overwhelmed.

Sweat was dripping down my chin and my legs were shaking.

I also had a headache.

Shoot!

At that time, I heard the sound of the wind.

No, it’s not the sound of the wind.

A goblin archer fired an arrow while I was distracted.

I let the attack pass by, relying on my instinct to avoid.

“Tsk!”

However, I was unable to completely avoid it because my stamina was low.

For a moment, my elbow tingled.

I lowered my head and looked down at my elbow, and there was a red line.

As the line became thicker, blood flowed out.

By then I felt afraid.

“… .”

If you do something wrong, you might actually die.

I couldn’t erase that thought.

From then on, it was no longer possible to take bold action against them.

All I could think was that I had to rely on my avoidance instinct and run away from them.

Then I hit a dead end.

‘… There’s nowhere to run.’

It was induced without my knowledge.

With my back to the crystal, I felt a sense of disappointment as I saw the goblins approaching from left and right.

Hurry up and run away.

The avoidance instinct was speaking.

‘But where?’

The son-in-law was surrounded by crystals, and they were building a siege network.

The only way out was with the goblins on their backs.

It seemed impossible to break through the siege and get there.

Knock, knock

“… .”

There was no answer.

They were making unpleasant noises as if they were saying that.

Meanwhile, the distance decreased.

‘Shiba.’

Damn it. Only swear words come out.

Words to express what I was feeling rushed through my mind like a tidal wave.

Am I going to die like this? I don’t want to die. Why did I say I was doing this? What am I for? Are you really dying? I don’t like it, I’m scared. I don’t want to die in a place like this. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die! What on earth is dad doing? If this continues, he will really die. help me. please. I don’t want to die. sorry. I just said I was going to lower the story difficulty for no reason. I can’t do it, I can’t do it. Hit it! Even if I don’t do it, Kang Han Byeol will figure out the story on her own. I just need to live comfortably, right? Do I need to do this?

I am a person of Shinken Taoism? Is it possible to live a decent life? There is no need to become Kang Han Byeol’s colleague. Then, even if the future changes, it’s none of my business. Kang Han Byeol will solve everything anyway! I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die. I’m going crazy. I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die. Even if I eat it, it doesn’t taste good. So please go away! go! Go, please! If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have just not realized my past life. Even though I was born, why did I become a doggyeonwoo? .

It was right then.

I suddenly felt eyes on me.

“… .”

Pink crystals filled the son-in-law.

I was reflected in that crystal.

‘That…’ ‘Me?’

My face reflected in the crystal was ugly and extremely pathetic.

Her shoulders were shrunken, and she was so frightened that she even shed tears.

“… .”

It was ugly, ugly, and unsightly.

Countless me, reflected in the crystal, were looking at me with faces I disliked.

The more I continue to look at that gaze… .

‘I’m angry.’

I got annoyed.

what? Are you thinking about your past life for no reason?

I want to hit myself for panicking and thinking stupid thoughts a little while ago.

Absolutely not.

As I realized my past life, I realized how foolish I had been living.

If I hadn’t remembered my past life, I would have lived squatting like this for a long time.

Quickly.

I don’t want that kind of life.

Isn’t that why it’s here?

Didn’t I push myself to the limit to overcome my weakness and become stronger?

But I forgot that and tried to go back to being a cowardly loser because of my fear. I was angry inside.

So I took a long breath and gathered my emotions.

“Whoa… .”

I don’t want to die like this.

Of course I don’t want to run away.

Then there was only one answer.

‘Killing those guys.’

I couldn’t survive without killing those in front of me.

That’s what real combat is like.

Such is the life of a hunter.

Whether I die or the monster dies, one of them must die.

so… .

‘Listen to me.’

Don’t rebel.

I said those words to myself.

Did Gift hear that?

Pajik!

It felt like an electric current was running through my body.

That feeling was pushing me.

Go forward.

Fight to live.

It seemed like he was saying that.

I took a step forward, feeling my senses tighten.

[The skill has been obtained.]

[Instinctive Control Lv 1]

It was then that the message occurred to me.

I finally got what I wanted.

fantasy,
