Level 2 Player

“Looking at us, it seems they were enormously surprised?”
“If seeing for the first time, it is natural. We were also like that.”
“Listening to the words, it is Earth origin. I will leave.”
“I also give up. If it is an intact party, whatever, but if only two survived, it is obvious, what.”
“Guys without loyalty.”
“Well, the same Earth origins will take them on their own.”
The majority of the players who showed interest while seeing Shin Su-a’s surprised appearance turned their gazes.
From Jin-su’s standard, it was a natural matter.
‘Because the guilds made by Arius origin players or Musung origin players do not prefer Earth origin players.’
On top of that, it is not even an intact party, only 2 people. So how those guys would think of Jin-su and Shin Su-a was obvious.
Of course, it is not that the guilds made by Arius origin players or Musung origin players completely exclude Earthlings. It is only that they did not feel the necessity to approach first.
‘They think that if an Earth origin with excellent skill, it is fine if scouting later.’
The guilds made with Earth origin players as the main on Floor 200 are clearly lower ranks. It is not that there are no Arius origin players or Musung origin players in the guilds made by Earth origin players...
‘Most cases are those with low skill.’
Frankly speaking, most cases were those who do not have the skill to enter the guilds made with Arius origin or Musung origin players as the main entering the guilds made by Earth origin players as an unavoidable alternative.
“You are Korean. I am the player Kang Seung-woo affiliated with the Daehan Guild. Nice to meet you like this.”
The player who called himself Kang Seung-woo greeted with a bright expression.
“Nice to meet you.”
“By any chance, were you affiliated with the Daehan Guild on the lower floors?”
“No.”
“Ah, is that so.”
Kang Seung-woo’s expression darkened noticeably.
“Then can you tell me which guild you were affiliated with?”
“I have never joined a guild.”
“Haaaa!”
At Jin-su’s words, Kang Seung-woo let out a long sigh. And he made a deliberating expression for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Hmm... Although it seems the skill is greatly lacking, we cannot treat the same Koreans coldly. I will specially put in effort so that you can become affiliated with the Daehan Guild.”
Once Kang Seung-woo spoke as if greatly doing a favor, Jin-su let out an empty laugh, and Shin Su-a made a dumbfounded expression.
“It seems hard to believe because I made such a groundbreaking restriction. But there is no need to worry. If the skill is lacking, it is a matter of raising at the guild level. First, follow me.”
Kang Seung-woo showed the dignity of beating the drum and playing the janggu alone and then advanced forward with large strides. Naturally, there was no way Jin-su and Shin Su-a would follow behind Kang Seung-woo.
“What are you doing? Quickly follow me!”
At Kang Seung-woo’s words, Jin-su made a light smile and opened his mouth.
“Thank you for the goodwill, but I have no thought of wanting to be affiliated with the Daehan Guild.”
“What? What is that?”
“Then we will go now.”
Once Jin-su turned his body, Kang Seung-woo’s expression distorted messily.
Tak!
Kang Seung-woo grabbed Jin-su’s shoulder.
“Hey. If the goodwill is thankful, just accept it quietly. Do you think such a good opportunity will come again in the future? Because I treat you nicely, do you see me as easy? If it was Floor 100 or Floor 150, it is a matter that is out of the question. A wanderer with no affiliation not knowing his place and being arrogant.”
Kang Seung-woo who frowned a lot spoke as if monologuing and released the words while giving strength to the grip. It was the intention of pressuring Jin-su with strength.
In response, Jin-su grabbed Kang Seung-woo’s hand placed on his shoulder with a calm expression and opened his mouth.
“Yeah. If treating nicely, who is the guy who sees as easy and does not know his place?”
Jin-su smiled and gave strength to the hand.
Creak!
“Ahheuk!”
Kang Seung-woo’s expression distorted with pain in an instant.
“If showing off strength carelessly without knowing one’s topic, the neck is likely to fly. It is a question how he has lived until now.”
“Ah, it hurts. Quickly let go of this.”
“On top of that, the sense is also damn lacking.”
Jin-su smiled and gave stronger strength.
“Haeuk! P-please let go. I was wrong. Please forgive me.”
“Since we cannot treat the same Koreans coldly, I will forgive once. But from now on, it will be good to grow something called sense a bit.”
Jin-su let go of the hand he was holding along with those words.
“Th-thank you.”
Kang Seung-woo bowed his head.
“Still, he is not a complete idiot.”
Jin-su let out a chuckle.
If he was a really stupid guy, he might not have been able to endure anger at Jin-su’s words of the sense being damn lacking and drawn a weapon with the other hand or raised mana and used an attack skill.
But Kang Seung-woo used honorifics and bowed his head as soon as realizing the difference in strength. He recognized the fact that no matter how much he struggles, he cannot beat Jin-su with his skill and lowered his tail.
“Let’s go.”
“Yeah.”
Jin-su and Shin Su-a left Kang Seung-woo and left the place.
“Hey, the Daehan Guild is now even rejected by newbies.”
“Hahaha! Because only guys with no skill gather, that is why.”
“But that guy looks quite usable for an Earth origin?”
“It certainly seems so.”
The gazes of the players who were indifferent to Jin-su and Shin Su-a changed. Although mocking the shamed Kang Seung-woo of the Daehan Guild, the scene of a player who just climbed to Floor 200 lightly suppressing a player who spent more than 1 year of time on Floor 200 was not an appearance that can be easily seen.
Once the situation became like this, those who reveal direct interest in Jin-su and Shin Su-a also appeared.
“A guy who looks quite usable. It seems there is also spirit.”
The Musung origin player Ak Chanseo was one of such players.
“Elder, are you thinking of recruiting that guy?”
“Yeah, he looks quite promising. He does not look like an Earth origin. I will go for a moment.”
Ak Chanseo lightly moved his feet along with those words.
Tak!
Ak Chanseo’s body instantly advanced forward and instantly blocked the front of Jin-su and Shin Su-a.
“Changseongmun stepped forward.”
“We will be able to see the appearance of that guy full of confidence being scolded.”
“It will become an interesting spectacle.”
The eyes of the players changed interestingly.
“Children, can you spare some time for me for a moment?”
Ak Chanseo said to Jin-su and Shin Su-a with a smiling face.
“Haa!”
Jin-su let out a short sigh. The troublesome matter increased because of Kang Seung-woo.
“I have no thought of entering a guild.”
Jin-su moved his steps past Ak Chanseo along with those words. At that moment, Ak Chanseo’s face was dyed with bewilderment. Because he did not know he would be ignored so openly like this.
“Go!”
A shout full of mana burst from Ak Chanseo’s mouth. The mana that burst out along with the shout changed into a rigidity skill and bound the bodies of Jin-su and Shin Su-a.
“A young guy is arrogant to no end trusting a small skill. Today, I will firmly correct your habit and inform the fact that the world is wide.”
Whoosh!
Along with those words, Ak Chanseo stabbed the spear he was carrying on his back toward Jin-su. He had no thought of killing or injuring. He only thought of stopping the spear blade in front of the neck, showing his overwhelming skill, killing the spirit, and then trying recruitment again.
Clang!
However, Ak Chanseo’s plan went wrong from the beginning. The stabbed spear was pushed by the sword the opponent drew and bounced off.
“Huh?”
At the moment Ak Chanseo was flustered at the completely unexpected situation.
Whoosh!
The second sword that was swung somehow touched the nape of Ak Chanseo’s neck.
“Even though an old man has eaten that much age, the world experience is still greatly lacking.”
At Jin-su’s words, Ak Chanseo’s pupils shook madly.
“H-how can this be. I to only an Earth origin martial artist...”
Ak Chanseo did not do his full power. He adjusted the speed of stabbing the spear to some degree and did not put mana or activate a skill either. But that did not mean the current situation could be understood.
Ak Chanseo was a martial artist who reached the first-class realm before being dragged to the Tower. He trained with all his might even at an age over seventy. However, the body aged day by day, and even with endless training, the internal energy gradually scattered, and the martial arts not only did not become stronger but rather gradually regressed.
Then he was forcibly dragged to a place called the Tower.
Ak Chanseo rather thought this situation was a blessing. Once catching monsters and raising the level, the body that was aging day by day became robust again. The internal energy piled quickly, and the regressing martial arts advanced forward again.
As a result, Ak Chanseo was able to aim for the next realm he regarded as a lifelong dream with a more robust body than in his youth, experience accumulated over a long time, and increased internal energy.
Such a self was suppressed in one move by an Earth origin player he thought was not even as good as a third-class martial artist except for the specialness of skills because he could not properly learn martial arts, so being astonished was natural.
“Elder!”
“You bastard, what are you doing to the elder!”
At the appearance of Ak Chanseo with a sword touching the neck, the martial artists of Changseongmun who were startled ran all at once. However, because it was a situation where Ak Chanseo’s life was precarious, they only raised their voices and could not do this or that while fidgeting.
Sssuk!
At that time, Jin-su lowered the sword he was holding to Ak Chanseo’s neck.
“Elder, are you alright?”
“You were too careless.”
“From what I see, it seems you were hit by sorcery.”
“Still, it is extremely fortunate that it is only this much.”
The martial artists of Changseongmun crowded in and comforted Ak Chanseo.
Jin-su was dumbfounded at that appearance.
‘Although it is true that he was careless, even if he did his full power, the result would not have changed, yet that guy’s pride building...’
Musung origin players had strong pride as martial artists. That is why they especially ignored Earth origin players saying the basics as martial artists are not done and treated them as children who are only strong in strength.
Musung origins who trained martial arts from a young age and Earth origins who have never held weapons like swords or spears in their lives have no choice but to differ from the basics. However, due to the existence of the system, there were often times when the force of Earth origin players who raised levels and grew stats and skills surpassed Musung origin players.
Every time then, the words Musung origin players habitually say were carelessness or sorcery.
‘It is typical double standards.’
Since they themselves became stronger with the help of the system yet claim that Earth origin players becoming stronger with the power of the system is sorcery, from Jin-su’s perspective, an empty laugh had no choice but to come out.
“Stop it.”
At that time, Ak Chanseo pushed the martial artists of Changseongmun aside and made a fist-and-palm salute toward Jin-su.
“Thank you for putting in consideration in the hand.”
“It is nothing special, so there is no need to care.”
Once the opponent observed etiquette, Jin-su also observed etiquette.
‘Well, I had no thought of killing from the beginning either.’
Jin-su had no connection with Ak Chanseo before regression. However, he had some connection with Changseongmun.
‘It was a place with conviction.’
If a Musung origin player, all have strong pride as martial artists. However, among them, there are those who keep the righteous path and those who do not. Changseongmun in Jin-su’s memory was a guild that keeps the righteous path and knows loyalty.
‘I also received not a little help before regression.’
If the opponent was not affiliated with Changseongmun but affiliated with the Sahyeolmun or Geomsalmun that had a bad connection before regression, he might have just killed them.
Changseongmun knows how to remember if mercy is shown and repay the favor. However, the Sahyeolmun or Geomsalmun were guys who repay favor with enmity and more.
However, whether the Changseongmun experienced before regression and the current Changseongmun are guilds with completely identical inclinations or not, Jin-su could not be certain either.
It is only that he gave one more opportunity thinking of the good connection before regression. But if Ak Chanseo and Changseongmun harbor resentment in this matter and antagonize Jin-su?
‘There is no need to show mercy twice unnecessarily.’
The mercy that can be shown due to the connection before regression was sufficient with once.
