Level 2 Player
Enlightenment Plan (2)
“I also agree. Lord. There is no need to constrain our actions because of other players’ eyes. I also had bad prejudice toward demonic arts or sorcery. But now it is not. As the lord’s words, it is not that one is unconditionally an evil person just because learning a specific martial art. Can one not say one is an evil person if that person’s character is not upright and evil.”
Cheon Mu-seong also agreed with Jin-su’s opinion.
Of course, the ratio of evil people itself is overwhelmingly high on the side of those who learned demonic arts and sorcery. That is the same for black mages or necromancers. But this was not the Musung dimension Cheon Mu-seong lived in but the Tower. Then Cheon Mu-seong himself also needed to live by the common sense and standard of the Tower, not the common sense and standard of Musung origin.
Jin-su’s gaze headed toward Carolina and Hapael.
‘Those two are the problem.’
Shin Su-a and Cheon Mu-seong were agreement as expected. So the probability of Carolina and Hapael also opposing was high.
While Jin-su was rolling his head how to persuade this well.
“Agree! I also unconditionally agree! Abandoning our party’s benefit to watch other guys’ eyes! Absolutely such a matter cannot exist!”
Unexpectedly, Hapael threw a vote of agreement.
“I also agree. The contractor I saw and was together with until now was not an evil person. The past me could not discard the common sense of the hometown dimension Arius and was hostile to the contractor. As a result, I became a situation bound by the contract. Since the contractor is a good person, he has never abused the contract even once and rather bestowed many things on me and Hapael. But if the opponent was really an evil person, in the end me and Hapael would have died or fallen into a miserable slave situation. So I also decided to live with the common sense of the Tower, not the Arius dimension. Also, from now on, as the contractor’s words, I am thinking of judging by looking at that person’s character, not the player’s class or skill. And as Miss Shin Su-a’s words, I think that matter itself is a good matter that helps so that one can realize the common sense of the Tower even a little faster by abandoning the common sense of the hometown dimension like me.”
On top of that, Carolina who was thought to scold Hapael’s frivolity and lay out nagging and then reveal an opposing opinion also agreed. Moreover, while transforming Jin-su’s plan into an enlightenment activity for players like Shin Su-a.
‘This is really outside expectation?’
He did not expect at all that Carolina and Hapael would obediently agree. Even yielding a hundred times, even if Hapael is so, Carolina agreeing as well.
“Hehehe, I cannot be the only one hit. I will properly forcibly inject the common sense of the Tower.”
Hapael revealed his inner thoughts while smiling sinisterly. It seems he was quite unfair that only he and Carolina were broken by Jin-su.
‘Hapael can be so.’
Carolina was really unexpected.
Carolina who felt Jin-su’s puzzled gaze opened her mouth with a calm expression.
“There is no need to see it that way. The most important purpose to me is the survival of me and Hapael and the return to the hometown Arius dimension. As Hapael’s words, I have no thought of wanting to abandon a precious opportunity to become strong because of the possibility of colliding with other players. On top of that, as I said earlier, I think this matter itself will be of help to other players as well. Rather than maintaining unnecessary fixed ideas and undergoing a large matter, experiencing in advance and doing thought reform will be of larger help in living in the Tower.”
Carolina’s words were orthodox, and there was nothing bad for Jin-su either.
‘Yet, it seems absolutely not that is the sincerity.’
Jin-su had the thought whether the biggest reason Carolina agreed is the same as Hapael. Is it too too unfair that only she and Hapael were broken by Jin-su?
‘Is it that one cannot die alone?’
Somehow, a feeling like a water ghost operation strongly came.
‘Well, there is nothing bad.’
Whether overturning or burying, it is fine if only the conclusion is good.
‘Yet, they are mother and son though. Unexpected parts resemble.’
Until now, he thought the personality difference between Carolina and Hapael is clear. But the poisonous mindset of absolutely not dying alone and the twisted personality of not being able to see others doing well were really the same like a carbon copy.
‘Well, it is not for no reason that they were famous for being cheeky and arrogant before regression.’
Until now, because they stayed too quietly inside the Jin-su party, he temporarily forgot the notoriety of Carolina and Hapael famous before regression.
“Then since all agreed. I will immediately release the summons in the hunting grounds near the city and proceed with hidden dungeon search.”
“Yeah!”
“Let us do so.”
“Good!”
“Good.”
At Jin-su’s words, all party members answered vigorously while making a sinister smile full on their faces.
At such appearances of the party members, Jin-su’s head became complicated.
‘Somehow, everyone’s personalities seem quite different from what I knew before regression.’
Holy Saintess Shin Su-a was not called a saintess just because she was an excellent healer. She led in the work of caring for and protecting the weak and always showed an attitude of sacrificing for others, so she was called a saintess.
However, now she seemed to harbor a strange expectation toward the matters that will occur from now on beyond even breaking the heads of monsters with the staff.
Mad God Cheon Mu-seong received many evaluations as a eccentric old man. However, he was also the pride and boast of the righteous faction martial artists of Musung origin. Although he often committed eccentric acts, he did not endure if seeing injustice and did not participate in unrighteous matters.
Yet, now a sinister smile that small fries of the unorthodox faction would make was blooming on such Cheon Mu-seong’s face.
Carolina and Hapael also made a notoriety with arrogant and eccentric personalities, but as royalty origin of the elf kingdom, they were figures who basically walk the righteous path. That is why they led in the work of protecting the weak from evil people and fought against PK player subjugation or the tyranny of large guilds, and in some quarters they also received the evaluation of the royalty who practices noblesse oblige the best.
Such Carolina and Hapael were now falling into the logic of one cannot be the only one hit and pursuing the water ghost operation actively with a gaze full of expectations.
‘It is not my fault, right? It is not.’
Jin-su forcibly ignored the prick of conscience and turned his gaze.
On the other hand, whether knowing or not such a gaze of Jin-su, the party members were immersed in their own thoughts.
‘Until now, I learned many auxiliary skills and the level also rose a lot. Monsters are swept in an instant, so I could not show activity. If the opponent is a player, it will be different. This time, I will definitely show an appearance of showing activity to Jin-su.’
Shin Su-a imagined her own appearance of showing activity without being excluded even in combat with players unlike before and was happy.
‘Combat with numerous players. It will be good to confirm how useful the new martial art is in actual combat.’
Cheon Mu-seong made a smiling smile with the thought of doing an actual combat test of how well his own martial art works on ordinary players, not monsters with low intelligence and many non-humanoid or super strong people like Jin-su.
‘I will make you guys feel the humiliation and frustration I experienced the same.’
Hapael only had a sinister smile come out without knowing due to the pure evil emotion of one cannot be hit alone.
‘One cannot be hit alone. I will properly inject common sense to the guys lacking common sense about the Tower instead of the contractor.’
And that was the same for Carolina as well.
***
The matter of Bakkeza and his followers being broken by the Jin-su party in the middle of the main road had spread throughout the city even though only one day passed. The Jin-su party was treated as unknown, but Bakkeza was a somewhat famous person on Floor 200.
Because he was a martial artist who reached the realm of aura master and a strong person who made a name called Sharkron’s Red Lion or the executioner of black mages from the Arius dimension.
“Not Sharkron’s Red Lion. It was Sharkron’s Red Cat.”
“I knew he would suffer a big nose with that arrogant personality someday.”
“More than that, what on earth is the identity of those people?”
“Yeah, nominally an aura master, right. Yet, suppressing in one move. Not an ordinary master.”
“The composition is also peculiar, isn’t it. Earth origin, Musung origin, Arius origin players are all mixed.”
“I am most curious about the identity of that party’s leader. Seems an Earth origin player, but how can he be so strong.”
The players who came from the upper city were curious about the identity of the Jin-su party.
However, it is not that an answer comes out just because curious. One could not directly ask either. Among those who witnessed the combat or heard, there were not many figures with large livers to the degree of carelessly approaching the Jin-su party who smashed the Bakkeza party and properly did a force demonstration.
‘Seems players who are active in party units. I should try recruitment once.’
‘If the leader is Earth origin, there seems to be a possibility of recruitment.’
‘If lightly defeating Bakkeza, at least a Flower Realm master. If able to recruit, it will become a large power.’
Those few figures were naturally players affiliated with large guilds.
‘It is that person the guild master said to report if found.’
And among them, a player affiliated with the Daehan Guild was also included.
The Daehan Guild was continuously looking for the whereabouts of the Jin-su party due to the guild master’s command. But failed every time.
Especially, the guild master moved to persuade directly and only made empty-handed twice.
‘Let’s report immediately.’
The Daehan Guild did not dispatch elites to the undead monster disturbance. But now that the Jin-su party was discovered, it was certain that the guild master will lead the elites and come.
While the players of large guilds were establishing plans to recruit the Jin-su party.
“An undead monster appeared!”
“Liches and death knights are hunting monsters while bringing undead monsters!”
“Some orc was also moving while leading monsters?”
“Is it dominated by black magic?”
“Let’s move immediately!”
The undead monsters the players of the upper city were looking for with eyes wide open finally revealed their appearances.
“Let’s go!”
“I will catch first!”
Naturally, players ran outside the city like a swarm of bees.
“Let’s go. I will wash yesterday’s humiliation with today’s victory.”
And among them, Bakkeza and his followers who were properly broken by Jin-su yesterday were also included.
***
“As expected, they show a reaction quickly.”
Carolina wearing a pure white mask with the recognition reduction skill muttered while looking at the gathering players.
“Hehehe, come quickly. Come.”
Hapael wearing a black mask with the recognition reduction skill looked at the gathering players with a gaze full of expectations.
Jin-su was also in a state of wearing a mask with the recognition reduction skill and wearing a robe. Cheon Mu-seong completely hid even the long beard and white hair with a full body armor set.
“A bit stuffy.”
Cheon Mu-seong who did not wear armor thinking uncomfortable even if using a shield frowned.
“If adapting, it will be nothing.”
Musung origin players mostly did not prefer armor. The absolute majority wore cloth armor whose outer appearance is the same as ordinary martial arts clothes. Although defense power is low and options are almost none, a kind of fashion item, but it was popular among Musung origin players.
Those who carefully wear caring about defense power were about the degree of wearing iron armor in vest form hidden on the chest area.
Musung origin players think that if wearing leather armor or iron armor, the body becomes heavy and movements become unnatural, so one cannot properly step footwork and combat power drops.
However, this was also one of the mistakes committed by being buried in the common sense of the Musung dimension without a system. High-priced iron armor with a certain level has some weight so receives a slight hindrance to movement speed, but there was no constraint at all on the movements themselves.
In the case of leather armor, there were also often cases with movement speed or attack speed increase options attached. In the case of iron armor with really good options and high level, there were also many cases with only advantages without disadvantages. But even so, Musung dimension origin players absolutely did not wear iron armor or leather armor.
‘Honestly, the biggest reason Musung dimension origin players do not prefer armor is only one.’
Embarrassment.
If wearing iron armor or leather armor, one is often called a coward and becomes the laughingstock of Musung dimension origin players saying one abandoned the pride of a martial artist or whatever, so one avoids it.
