“Yeah, come in.”
Creeeak!
Once Jin-su’s permission fell, Shin Su-a opened the door and revealed her appearance inside the room.
“Were you organizing items?”
“Yeah.”
“You should have called earlier.”
“You seemed tired today, so I was going to do it alone.”
“Still, I have the strength to organize items. So make sure to call from now on too.”
Shin Su-a quickly approached next to Jin-su and started the item classification work.
“Um, from now on, that old man will also go together with us, right?”
“That’s right.”
Jin-su answered calmly. After meeting Shin Su-a on Floor 50 and joining the party, Jin-su did not increase party members. But it was not deliberately so.
‘It is only that I did not meet talent worth joining the party.’
Even the Eight Mad Dogs who belonged to the guild Jin-su led before regression were slightly below the standard.
‘Well, those guys were also a better choice to leave alone.’
However, Cheon Mu-seong was not.
He was a strong person who already surpassed the Floor 200 level long ago, and a person who was complete even as a martial artist.
‘Even if leaving alone, he will grow quickly, but.’
It was more efficient for Jin-su to carry him next to him and give teachings.
‘I also have to correct the attitude of treating the help of items or the system as sorcery and implicitly reluctant.’
Above all, to grow the Unrestrained Sword Art and Unrestrained Heart Method into the Formless Sword Art and Formless Heart Method, Jin-su’s help was absolutely needed.
“Ah, is that so.”
At Jin-su’s words that Cheon Mu-seong will be together from now on, Shin Su-a muttered in a dejected voice.
“Although he committed eccentric acts that look like a severe weirdo and a crazy person, he does not seem like a bad person. So do not worry too much. On top of that, he is a person who definitely keeps the words he said. So if you approach with a good heart, he will also repay with a good heart.”
The fact that Cheon Mu-seong is not an evil person was something Jin-su who spent a long time together before regression could guarantee.
“Yeah, got it.”
Shin Su-a answered while making a faint smile. At such an appearance of Shin Su-a, Jin-su also made a smile and then immersed in the item classification work again.
Shin Su-a started the item classification work with an expressionless face once Jin-su turned his gaze.
‘It is not that I worried about such a thing.’
Shin Su-a’s mind was complicated. She already felt anxious because her role within the party seemed to be gradually decreasing.
Yet, in such a situation, an out-of-spec strong person called Cheon Mu-seong joined the party. Naturally, Shin Su-a’s anxiety had no choice but to become stronger.
‘The people who join the party from now on will all be such amazing people, right?’
The worry that even now, and from now on as well, she herself might be the most unnecessary existence within the party continued to circle in her head.
Shin Su-a immersed more in item organization.
She wanted to be of even a little help to Jin-su by diligently doing even such chores.
***
The next morning.
Jin-su, Shin Su-a, and Cheon Mu-seong gathered at the 1st floor restaurant.
“Did you sleep comfortably?”
“I slept comfortably.”
At Jin-su’s question, Cheon Mu-seong answered with a calm tone.
“Su-a, did you also sleep well?”
“Yeah, I slept well.”
Jin-su also greeted Su-a and then immediately opened his mouth.
“We will eat breakfast and go straight to the hunting ground.”
“Yeah, I prepared in advance knowing it would be so.”
Shin Su-a’s answer was calm as usual.
“Understood.”
On the other hand, Cheon Mu-seong’s expression after finishing the answer was full of boredom. It seemed he does not feel much interest in the matter of catching monsters.
‘Did he think that catching monsters with strong wildness that move according to instinct does not particularly help in becoming strong.’
It was not wrong words.
To a martial artist who rose to Cheon Mu-seong’s realm, hunting monsters of Floor 200 level was nothing more and nothing less than simple repetitive work.
‘Since the level is the level, the leveling up itself by catching monsters is clearly enormously hard.’
It is not for no reason that Cheon Mu-seong climbed from Floor 100 to Floor 200 in half a year.
‘He is probably thinking there is nothing he can obtain on the lower layers of the Tower.’
But that is a wrong thought.
‘If possessing strength that does not match the floor number of the Tower, how many things can be obtained.’
Representatively, achievements and titles that can only be obtained on each floor of the Tower can be easily acquired. Where is that all? Hidden dungeons or open dungeons can be easily cleared, and items like elixirs, class change certificates, skill books, and equipment can be swept with a rake literally.
‘The problem is that this old man thinks the power obtained through achievements, elixirs, class change certificates, skill books, equipment, and so on is something like trivial sorcery.’
Even the matter of becoming strong due to the rise in stats from leveling up and the rise in skill levels was thought of as a kind of sorcery and he felt uncomfortable.
‘This old man thinks of himself as a chivalrous hero and elder of a famous righteous path family.’
From the perspective of righteous path martial artists, he is a strange species and strange person they want to hide because it is embarrassing to even say he is the same righteous path person, let alone an elder, but anyway, his own thought was so.
‘So rather than welcoming the power obtained due to the strange sorcery of unknown identity called the system, he rather thinks of it as reluctant.’
Even before regression, it took not a little time to fix this thought. Also, that is why there were also countless opportunities for Cheon Mu-seong to become stronger that he missed.
‘But this time it is different.’
The time itself of meeting Jin-su is far faster than before regression. On top of that, whether liking it or not, Cheon Mu-seong is serving Jin-su as the lord.
‘There is no leeway to wait until he realizes on his own.’
Even if disliking it, it is fine if forcibly beating it in so that he has no choice but to realize.
‘The first is items.’
The sword Cheon Mu-seong is currently using was a cheap item that does not suit the Floor 200 level.
‘It is not that he has no points.’
There is no way he did not obtain a sword with higher level and better options while hunting.
‘He just fell into the thought that a master does not choose tools.’
So the probability of continuing to use a sword below the level was high.
‘It is certain he is thinking that swords with special options rather hinder growth as a martial artist.’
So he would be using a sword that is just appropriately sharp and hard without special options, and only has a self-recovery option attached.
‘It was so before regression as well.’
Cheon Mu-seong underwent many changes after meeting Jin-su before regression. And this time, those changes were scheduled to be applied even faster.
The Jin-su party finished breakfast and headed to the hunting ground.
‘Sweep the achievements that can be obtained in the hunting grounds near the start city.’
While doing so, he planned to find hidden dungeons incidentally and clear them.
“Leo.”
“Nyaaaaang!”
Once Jin-su called the name, Leo let out a vigorous wide-area provocation roar.
Dududududu!
Not long after, monsters poured out from all sides.
“Eum.”
Cheon Mu-seong frowned while looking at the gathering monsters. Because he thought that the act itself of hunting monsters below the level that die if swinging the sword once is a waste of time.
“Huu!”
Cheon Mu-seong drew the sword. Although he is thinking that hunting monsters is meaningless, since it is a matter Jin-su who he decided to serve as the lord decided, he decided to follow for now.
‘Flame Barrier, Flame Storm, Flame Rain, Flame Explosion.’
Jin-su cast fire attribute magic attack skills.
Hwareureuk!
A wall of bright red flames soared and blocked the front of the monsters, the storm of flames swept the monsters, and the flame rain fell on the heads of the monsters.
Kwaaaaaang!
Finally, once the flames stuck to the monsters’ bodies exploded all at once, the leading group of the gathered monsters was massacred as is.
‘What on earth is this?’
Cheon Mu-seong’s mouth opened wide. And he hardened like a stone in the posture of drawing the sword.
It was not because Jin-su swept the monsters in an instant. Although it would have taken a bit more time, Cheon Mu-seong could also easily process monsters of that level.
“M-magic attack skill?”
Cheon Mu-seong witnessed the appearance of Jin-su whom he thought was a martial artist using a magic attack skill and received a large shock.
However, the point Cheon Mu-seong received shock and was astonished was not because Jin-su whom he knew as a warrior type class player used a mage type class skill that he absolutely cannot use.
“Why on earth is a martial artist who rose to a sublime realm using such sorcery...”
It was only that he received shock at the fact that Jin-su, a martial artist who rose to a higher realm than himself, learned something other than a sword like sorcery and directly used it.
Cheon Mu-seong is a person who has never even properly used his own class skills. He only used the martial arts he directly learned like when in the Musung dimension. To Cheon Mu-seong, the existence called skills was only a kind of expedient and sorcery. That is why Cheon Mu-seong felt uncomfortable and uneasy at the fact itself that his martial arts were skillized.
To the degree of willingly doing so if the system gives a choice and gives an opportunity to cancel the skillization of the martial arts he learned himself.
Cheon Mu-seong thought a martial artist should naturally do so. That is why he thought unfavorably of Musung origin martial artists who grow relying on the system’s power and thought they fell into expedients and sorcery and corrupted.
‘I thought those who fell into the sorcery called skills and corrupted cannot rise to the Manifestation Realm, let alone the Flower Realm...’
Even if somehow rising to the Manifestation Realm, he believed it is only a half that was achieved relying on expedients and sorcery. A half that only has enormous internal energy and powerful strength and speed without the harmony of the profound principles of swordsmanship and internal energy.
This was not a simple prejudice.
Cheon Mu-seong met numerous Musung origin martial artists while climbing the Tower. Among them, if meeting a good person, he gave a small teaching, and to evil people, he gave appropriate discipline.
There was no distinction between righteous and demonic.
Even if righteous path origin, if doing evil acts, he raised the whip, and even if demonic path origin, if doing good acts, he gave teaching. And in that process, there was one point he was astonished at.
‘There were too many whose energy, qi, and spirit were twisted.’
Not only that, the swordsmanship skill was also poor, the internal energy circulation was a mess, and the mental power was also below the level. This was not that Cheon Mu-seong feels so because he is an absolute master of a different dimension from them.
Cheon Mu-seong met numerous martial artists even in the Musung dimension. That is why he could know. That compared to the first-rate martial artists he met in the Musung dimension, the first-rate martial artists he met in the Tower are only halves.
‘The higher the realm, the more extreme the difference was.’
In the case of first-rate, the difference was not that severe. However, the higher the realm like peak or super peak, the more extreme the difference became.
‘Even the guy who rose to the Flower Realm surpassed the limit.’
It was a level of only believing in the strength of the body and the amount of internal energy and going around acting as a Flower Realm martial artist. From Cheon Mu-seong’s eyes, the swordsmanship, internal energy circulation, and mental power were all below the level.
‘He was a guy who does not even reach the super peak level, let alone the Flower Realm.’
Cheon Mu-seong felt even stronger rejection toward the power the system gives while seeing the appearance of Musung origin martial artists who became halves. That is why he was wary and wary himself so as not to fall into the sorcery called the system.
Yet, for the first time, an exception appeared in front of Cheon Mu-seong’s eyes.
An irregular called Jin-su who rose to a higher realm than himself and possesses more excellent swordsmanship, internal energy circulation, and mental power even while actively utilizing the power of the sorcery called the system.
“Sorcery or whatever?”
At that time, Jin-su looked at Cheon Mu-seong while making an expression of being speechless at hearing too absurd words.
“I am asking just in case, but don’t tell me you think skills are sorcery?”
Feeling Jin-su’s gaze as if looking at a young blood lump who cannot even distinguish heaven and earth, Cheon Mu-seong tightly bit his molars and opened his mouth.
