Episode 15

Jung-min waited for the gate to open in Leah’s inventory.

When the time came, the gate opened and Jung-min moved to Leah’s side.

Jung-min staggered for a moment from the incoming dizziness, but soon straightened his posture and stood up.

Jung-min, who closed his eyes for a moment and got rid of the dizziness, greeted Leah.

Leah looked at Jung-min, who greeted him, and said.

“What happened? You don’t look good.”

As if it hadn’t been long since she had washed her hair, Leah’s hair was damp.

Jeongmin looked at Leah’s hair and said.

“It’s just my mind.. it’s a little complicated.”

Leah looked at Jeong-min for a while, then took Jeong-min’s hand and sat him near the campfire.

“Tell me. What happened?”

Jung-min looked into Leah’s eyes for a moment before telling her that she had been to the inventory of another world.

Leah said to Jung-min, amazed at the [trial of the gods] going on in another world.

“In the world… how many different worlds do exist? Are all those worlds undergoing [Trials of the Gods]…?”

I finished talking about what happened in the inventory to Leah, who had the same questions as Jeong-min.

“..So I took all the items in the inventory and returned.”

“Well done. If it’s a yellow gate, it’s a B-level gate. It’s an item from a world where [Trial of the Gods] has progressed much more than Jimin’s world, so it’ll be very useful to Jung-min. Rather, it could be better than the items in my inventory. The items I own have stat restrictions, so it’s hard to use them properly…”

Jimin nodded and said.

“Yes, but… it’s a bit complicated. Seeing the owner of the inventory die right in front of your eyes and bringing the items from it… is a bit…”

“…”

Leah looked at Jung-min for a moment, then spoke to Jung-min in a determined voice.

“Jungmin-ssi, you need to harden your heart a little.”

“…”

Leah looked at Jung-min, who was staring at her, and said.

“You have to be strong, Jeong-min. If you don’t become strong, you cannot survive [Trial of the Gods].”

“You have to be poisoned…”

“Yes, I have to be strong. I have to live with the idea that everyone except me and my people are enemies.”

“So far…”

Leah nodded and said.

“Yes, you have to go that far. Do you think that humans’ enemies are only monsters and Gates in [Trial of the Gods]?”

“…”

Looking into Jeongmin’s eyes, Leah said.

“..Since the [Trial of the Gods] started nine years ago here in Elan, what do you think killed the most humans? Do you think it was the monsters?”

“…”

“No.. that’s just… the same person.”

“…!”

“If all human powers were united as one, [Trial of the Gods] would have already ended. From then on, they fought each other over a monster and a gate that could supply gold.Even with a common enemy, the monster and the gate, instead of joining forces, they even started a large-scale war..In the end…when a high-level gate appeared Man had no power left to destroy it.”

Listening to Leah, Jeongmin thought of large shelters and small guilds.

Is it an illusion to see Elan and the Earth overlapping, which caused a war by holding each other in check rather than joining forces?

Leah’s words continued.

“I can’t guarantee that the Earth where Jung-Min lives will follow the same path as Elan. But.. I don’t think it will be much different as long as they go through the same [trial of the gods]. do not have.”

“To become poisoned… what should I do?”

“Being poisonous…doesn’t mean being cold-blooded. It’s good that you thoroughly take care of Jung-min’s people.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

But… you have to be relentless with your enemies. If you are judged to be my enemy, please… punish me thoroughly.”

“…”

“Actually… I’d like to say that you have to kill all enemies, but… that’s still going to be hard.”

Jung-min moved his hips and slightly moved away from Leah.

“Therefore, there is no need to feel guilty enough to take items from the dead person’s inventory. In the future, if you find a lost inventory, make sure to bring it all. In fact, I’d say you can bring all items from the inventory whether the owner is alive or not… I won’t recommend it because it will make Jung-min feel too hard. Even the dead’s inventory items won’t be enough…”

After Leah finished talking, she took a cola from her inventory and drank it down as if she was thirsty.

Jeongmin looked at Leah and said.

“Yes..I will try.

“…I saw a lot of people who died meaninglessly because of their personal feelings while going through [Trial of the Gods]… Among them was my colleague.”

Leah spoke again in a soft voice.

“I don’t want Jung-min to die like that.”

“…”

Leah gulped down the remaining cola and shrank for a moment as if her throat was burning.

Then, in a slightly cheerful tone, he spoke to Jung-min.

“The nagging was too long. Then, shall we practice today? I have decided to destroy the D-class gate by myself in 6 days, so there is no time to rest.

From today, I will gradually increase my sparring time.”

“You’re increasing the training time…?”

Leah nodded and said.

“Yesterday, you and I sparred for about 10 minutes, right? We will increase the time little by little.”

“Wouldn’t it be better to repeat the sparring several times? There’s plenty of time…”

Leah shook her head.

“The body can be healed with healing skills and potions, but it can’t relieve mental fatigue. This practice is just right once a day. So rather than increasing the number of times, it’s better to make it a little longer. Instead, From today, we will conduct training to increase the intelligence stat after sparring.”

“Intelligence stat?”

“Yes, through sparring, you can raise a lot of strength, stamina, and agility stats, but the intelligence stat doesn’t go up. You have to train to raise the intelligence stat separately.”

“How do you train to raise your intelligence stat?”

“There is only one way to train to raise your intelligence stat. Didn’t Jeong-min say that he also trained alone before [Trial of the Gods] started?”

“Yes, at the mineral water spring…just use the skill, refill the mana, and then use the skill again… I practiced repetition like this.”

“Yes, that’s right. There is no other way to train to increase the intelligence stat. Use skills to consume mana, refill it, and consume it again… Then the intelligence stat goes up and the skill level goes up.”

It will be able to raise it.”

“Yes, I know, but… the time it takes to wait for mana to recover is too long, so it’s not efficient.”

Leah tilted her head and asked Jeongmin.

“Why wait until mana is restored?”

“Yes…? You have to wait for mana to recover before you can use the skill again-“

“You can drink a mana potion.”

Leah’s obvious answer made Jung-min stiffen with his mouth open.

“Use a skill to drain all mana, restore it with a mana potion, then use the skill again.

Jeongmin said with a dumbfounded expression.

“I know there are a lot of mana potions, but if you use them like that, they will run out soon…”

Leah smiled and told her not to worry.

“When I run out, I can buy another one, so what are you worried about?”

“…When I bought the ‘Detection’ skill a while ago, didn’t I spend a lot of money? It’s hard to even buy food right now…”

Leah was startled and said while avoiding Jeongmin’s eyes.

“The monsters come once a day! They’re S-rank monsters, so you can get a lot of gold once the battle is over. No, actually, it’s not a lot of gold.

It’s enough to buy enough mana potions. Mana potions aren’t exactly expensive… no, I can’t really say they’re cheap, but still…”

‘My ears are red…’

Jung-Min decided to stop further interrogation, thinking that if he continued, Leah’s face would be red.

“Ah, I see. So… would it be all right if I owe Leah-san some mana potions?”

Leah said to Jung-min with a slightly relaxed face.

“…Of course. If you use mana potions, you can easily raise your intelligence stat and skill level. Don’t worry about the cost of the potions, just think about getting stronger, Mr. Jeongmin, quickly. I have to open it. That way… I can eat a lot of delicious things…”

Jimin laughed and said.

“Yes, I’ll try to get stronger.”

Listening to Jung-min, Leah took out a sword from her inventory.

“Now then, shall we begin? Since it is the beginning of full-scale training, it will be much more difficult than yesterday.”

After wearing the handcuffs and shackles of growth, Jung-min said while adjusting the weight to 50kg each.

“Yes, please take care of me”

********

“Did you call Manager Kwak?”

The door to the office where Kwak Jo-won was sitting opened, and two men entered.

One was a fairly small, skinny man. And the other was a muscular young man of the same size as Nam Sung-dong, the leader of the first group.

Joey smiled and greeted the two.

“Yes, welcome, Captain 3, Captain 4. You must be busy with gate attack training right now, but I’m worried that you didn’t tell me to come.”

The little man who was called Captain 3 answered Jo Won.

“Chief Kwak is calling, so of course we have to run. Anyway, why did you call us…”

Joey leaned back in his chair and said.

“Oh, it’s nothing else, I’ll have something to call soon. I’m going to have an interview with a friend.

The 3rd team leader smiled and said with narrowed eyes.

“Seeing that I and the 4th team leader need each other… I guess we’re not normal friends?’

“Well, the guy himself isn’t really that great to be honest… but I don’t know who’s behind him.

He probably has a pretty big back tummy…so I’m thinking of asking this and that. Captain 3 can listen to the friend’s story at that time and judge whether it is true or not.”

“That’s as easy as that. Leave it to me.”

The 4th leader, who had been silently listening to the conversation between the two, spoke in a low voice.

“If that’s the case, I don’t think I’ll be of much help. I think a third group leader will be enough.”

Jo Won smiled and said to Team 4 Captain.

“I don’t know if things go smoothly…but we have to be prepared for what could happen. Well, I heard that he doesn’t have combat skills, so there shouldn’t be any big problems…”

“…”

“I’m very weak, and the combat skills of the 3rd captain are not skills that can be used in such a narrow place.. If something happens, the 4th captain will have to step in.”

The 4th leader’s expression hardened visibly.

Jo Won, who was watching this, opened his inventory and took out a potion and handed it to the 4th leader.

“This is a potion I bought at the [Pearl River] Shelter. Don’t use it all at once, save it as much as possible. Do you know how many supplies were used to buy one bottle?”

Team 4 bit his lip and cherished the potion offered by Jo Won.

Joe looked at him and said with a raised eyebrow.

“Let me give you a piece of good information. You have a friend who said you would meet soon. That friend has a potion with an effect that is incomparable to the potion I just gave to the 4th leader. I wonder if he has a skill to make himself, or someone else made it. I don’t know if he’s still there. Anyway, if things go well, we might be able to use the potion. You know what I mean, Captain 4?”

The 4th leader stared at Jowon and nodded.

“…All right.”

Jo Won nodded and spoke to the two of them.

“Okay. Then we’ll see you again soon. Just in case you two get out of the combat team for a while. I’ll give you instructions.”

Team 3 and Team 4 rose from their seats, greeted the crew, and went out.

Joe laughed in satisfaction and buried himself in the chair.
