Episode 10. Beginning of training (2)

A hill rumored to be so steep that even adult men take a break at least once.

At the top of the mountain, two middle-aged men unpacked their luggage and were blown by the wind.

“Uhhh… I can’t do this anymore. I’ll have to go upstairs this time and wash my hands or something, won.”

“What is retirement? I have to earn a penny more to raise the late child I just got! Seeing that he had a child at that age, he still looks good!”

Botjim traders who exchanged small jokes and rested their tired bodies from the arduous uphill journey.

After that, while we were exchanging a few trivial words, one man stopped the conversation and turned his head.

“… Hey, can’t you hear something strange?”

“sound? What are you talking about?”

At the unexpected story, the fellow merchant’s head naturally turned.

At first, he was worried, but soon he heard a ‘strange sound’ as his colleague said.

Zukiik- Zukiik-.

An unpleasant sound that strangely touches the nerves.

The merchants’ eyebrows twisted.

“What do you mean?”

“I know?”

Assuming the identity of the sound, they soon realized one thing.

that’s right… … .

Zukiik- Zukiik-.

It was that the noise was gradually growing.

“Hey, are you coming this way?”

“Ji, let’s pack your luggage first!”

The clearer sound means that something unknown is approaching.

Having experienced a lot while wandering the continent for a long time, they reflexively packed up their belongings and got up.

so you can escape at any time.

The moment I carried the burden on my back like that.

One more sound was added to the sound that had been ringing regularly until now.

Zukiik- ok!

Zukiik- hehehe!

A strange moan followed at the end of the grotesque noise.

It caught the footsteps of those who were about to pack up and leave.

And soon, the identity of the strange sound was revealed over the hill.

Zukiik- heheheeng!

top of the hill.

The first thing that appeared there was a round head with impressive black hair.

Zukiik-.

Once again the eerie sound rang out.

“Huh!”

A boy’s face full of pain rises above the hill like the sun rises on the horizon with a chuimsae full of pain.

It looked so hard that even the bot pack traders who were looking at her face felt anguish.

And soon the identity of what was making the boy difficult was revealed.

The merchants who saw this rolled their eyes.

‘That’s… wagon?’

Of course, it wasn’t just a cart.

wen… … .

“Ugh! Hey, a kid with no hair. If your missing bastard went with strength and stamina, I would have climbed this hill standing on my hands!”

… It was a cart carrying a talkative and eccentric old man.

Zukiik-.

“Okay.”

“They make a lot of sh*t pooping noises while only pulling a cart!”

“ぅ.”

“Then I’m going to get very tired, I’m going to get bored!”

“Bee, damn it… Inspirational.”

“Cluck, aren’t you tired already?”

“I, be cursed… Old Chin!”

A black-haired, golden-eyed boy who screams and screams, Yuri.

Grinding his teeth, he dragged the cart until he reached the top of the hill.

Zukiik-.

The cart stopped right in front of the two bewildered load traders.

and,

dump-.

Yuri collapsed like a corpse.

“Keuuk, heeuk… … .”

He spread out as if he was going to run out of breath at any moment, and he reached out his hand toward the merchants.

“radish… radish… gloomy… … .”

Even though it was the first time they met, the merchants couldn’t turn away from Yuri’s trembling hands.

They hurriedly approached Yu-Ri, assuming they were saving one person’s life, and put a leather bucket in their mouth.

Woo-wook-.

The glass rushed into the water so quickly that the leather bucket shrank in an instant.

“Turn it off!”

The glass that instantly drained the water from the bucket and vomited out the belch.

He held the merchant’s hand tightly with moist eyes.

“weight… You will be blessed.”

“Now, are you okay?”

“Okay, it’s okay. than that… How long does it take to Crom Harbor from here?”

“chrome? If it’s chrome… It will take about four days on foot.”

“Four days… … .”

Yuri’s face slightly stiffened at the sound of four days until the destination.

Seeing this, John giggled.

“why? Do you think you can’t go? give up here? That’s not bad either.”

“… … .”

“Tsk tsk, I looked at the wrong person. What will a guy who can’t overcome this be alive?”

“… … .”

“Aigoo, when are you going to raise such a half-poor to serve as a human being?”

“Kuk!”

“If you just give up and die, you and I will be comfortable with each other. If you’re going to give up, give up right away. I don’t want to waste my time either.”

Seeing Yohan squatting on the cart and giggling, Yuri’s forehead bulged with blood.

“Sick… … .”

The clenched glass shook and stood up.

“water… You drank well.”

Yuri briefly greeted the merchants and pulled the handle of the cart.

Zukiik-.

The stopped cart screamed again and moved forward.

wobble, wobble, slow.

The glass-drawn cart moved carefully down the steep hill.

After all the fuss.

“… What happened?”

“Yeah, that’s what I mean.”

The two luggage vendors just stared blankly at Yuri’s back as he walked away.

Meanwhile.

Whoop- whoop-.

Yuri, who was blowing hot snorts as he went down the hill, grinded his teeth.

‘sh*t… … .’

I don’t think this is.

No matter how many times I think about it, I get the feeling that it’s not the case.

But I couldn’t find anywhere to complain.

Because this was all self-inflicted.

“To rot… … !”

The moment when he spat out harsh words.

In Yuri’s mind, the hell of the past three weeks flowed.

They ran and walked while pulling the cart, and rested while hanging from the cart.

Even eating and drinking was done by pulling a cart.

sleep?

I had to pass out, but I could barely close my eyes.

If someone had seen it, it would have been said that this is a crazy thing that ruins the body rather than increasing stamina.

Actually, that was right.

Even Yuri’s body is collapsing due to her enlarged soul.

In this situation, I was worried that excessive physical training would be rather poisonous.

But what

‘Sval… this… It works?’

Obviously, it wouldn’t be strange if she vomited blood and died immediately, but Yuri’s physical strength was increasing day by day to a surprising extent.

On the first day, in less than two hours, he passed out with vomiting, then got up again and pulled the wagon whimpering.

The first few days were normal.

However, as time passed, the number of fainting decreased and the time to pull the cart increased.

Then today, it’s gotten to the point where I think climbing hills is worth doing.

‘sh*t… Even if it didn’t work… … .’

It’s definitely hard as if I’m going to die every day, but I felt that I was regaining my physical strength and health every day.

It was a strange phenomenon.

‘I don’t know what the old man did, but I’m sure this nonsensical cart pull is helping me.’

Is there anything special about the situation?

I have no choice but to pull the cart as instructed.

Of course, apart from the effect of training, Yuri pulling the cart was also influenced by pride, saying, ‘Can you give up on this hardship!’

For that reason, Yuri silently pulled the cart despite the nagging noises coming from behind.

“Ugh! I can see your legs, you bastard! Can’t you move faster! So what time are you going to get to Chrome!”

“… … .”

“Also, the balance of the human body comes from a strong lower body! Furthermore, there is no place more important than the lower body for a man! Damn!”

“It’s hard and I’m dying… Are you going to keep dirtying my ears with useless noises?”

“Ugh! What nonsense! This is valuable advice that will become blood and flesh later on, so heed it!”

… In fact, it wasn’t just silently pulling the cart.

Yuri tried to destroy the cart several times.

‘Physical pain… I can endure anything in order to become stronger! Because that’s my choice.’

but!

‘I can’t wait to see that old motherf*cking old lady comfortably teasing her snout! I’d rather carry a rock on my back and go, I can’t see that old man resting in peace!’

So I decided.

I’m going to break the cart.

Then wouldn’t the old man have no choice but to walk at least until he finds a cart again?

I tried several times to break the cart with such a simbo.

Deliberately go on a rough road.

I tossed the cart here and there so as not to be noticed.

He even threw a large stone without his knowledge.

But what… … .

‘f*ck! Is this wagon made entirely of steel?! What’s so strong?!’

No, even if a cart made of solid steel had been treated so harshly, it should have broken down right away.

However, this rotten old wagon did not have a single scratch, let alone broken.

does this make sense?

‘For sure… That old man was playing tricks. That’s it!’

Otherwise, the old wagon made only of wood could not last this long.

Sigh-.

Glass that has gone far.

“What are you doing? Did the cart puller die? Even if a slug rolls, it will be faster than this!”

He vomited out his anger at the constant nagging that came from behind.

“aaa!”

Legs as fast as screaming screams.

At this, John exclaimed excitedly.

“Oh oh! You’ve finally caught up to the slug’s rolling speed! more more! sooner!”

“Stir it up!”

“It’s a reflex, you bastard! Take that one yourself!”

“aaagh!”

With such a scream full of pain, the old cart galloped down the hill.

Towards the south where the cradle is located.

* * *

glass with eyes open.

A clear sky filled my vision.

‘You passed out again.’

It’s been like this every day for 3 weeks, so now I’m used to waking up after fainting.

‘Seeing that the day is still bright… It must have been lying down for a long time.’

These days, the time to faint and wake up was getting shorter.

The time it took me to wake up after passing out recently was only an hour.

It was common knowledge that the body of an ordinary person who had been terribly overworked could not recover with just that amount of rest.

But surprisingly, the moment she fainted and woke up, Yuri’s body was transformed into a new one.

look at it now

Before she fainted, her limbs were as heavy as if there were pieces of iron attached to them, but now they are so light as if they were feathers.

“Ugh!”

Yuri stretched out wide and looked at Yohan, who was lying on the cart and tripping.

‘While I passed out, that old man must be doing something to my body.’

Otherwise, this nonsensical resilience makes no sense.

The moment Yuri’s eyes looking at Yohan changed into a haze.

“If you wake up, you have to move. What are you doing? Are you going to stay there?”

Yuri moved quickly at the constant nagging noise and started pulling the cart.

Yuri’s shoulders trembled at that conditioned reflex movement.

‘ah… I was brainwashed.’

It’s something I’ve been doing for the past three weeks, so now my body is moving unconsciously.

Yuri’s sadness soared at such a reality.

Of course that’s it.

Contrary to her sad feelings, Yuri’s body was silently pulling the cart.

how long did it take

“How much do you know about machete?”

For the first time, Yohan, who had been lying on the cart and nagging useless things every day, brought up a different story for the first time.

That’s a very constructive story.

Yuri, who was slightly taken aback by this, answered with a stutter.

“uh… that, well? Do you think you know as much as everyone else?”

“So what do you know?”

“What is that, the rapid development of horsemanship started when the ancient Easterners took root in this land… That the knowledge passed down from the ancient East was mixed with the ancient horsemanship and became the basis of the horsemanship we use today?”

“Where do you think you heard it?”

“Yeah, I heard it from a retired mercenary I happened to know. At that time, I was slightly interested in horsemanship.”

“Oh, yes? Also, what did you learn?”

“Is that the end?”

“… … .”

“If you want to hear more, I hit you right away to pay.”

“Tsk.”

“ah! It’s difficult to learn because it’s a martial arts that uses mana, but if you can learn it properly, it’s not difficult to live on a knife’s bread… He told me to go and get the money. That mercenary man.”

“… A b*tch who knows as much as everyone else.”

“no?”

“Well, I didn’t learn it wrong. But I didn’t learn it properly.”

“then?”

“Machete is a name that refers to the process of training the body while accumulating mana, rooted in the correct theory, and all actions that emit magical power through the body.”

“… mana?”

“Magic power is a measure of the power that can be produced with 1 mana. Usually, 1 mana means 1 power with 1 mana.”

“100 mana is 1 mana and 100 power?”

“Oh, how is it?”

“… Who do you know as an idiot? Anyway, the higher the magic power, the stronger it is, right?”

“It is true that mana is not the only measure of strength, but mana is used as a universal standard. It is used throughout, from the cradle you need to go to, to the official exam.”

After that, John’s explanation continued.

Even ordinary people who have not learned anything can sometimes use the mana they have innately to create 1 magical power.

If it is 100 mana, it can generate twice the power of an average adult man.

It is said that mana must exceed 1,000 to be eligible to take the official first-level exam.

In addition, it costs a lot to measure mana once, but people from the cradle can measure it for free.

Yuri focused deeply on the basic theory of mana and magical powers he had heard for the first time in his life.

Then, an intense curiosity suddenly soared.

“then… … .”

A question that everyone should have at least once spewed straight out of Yuri’s mouth.

“How much is the magic power of inspiration?”
