- Volume 6 Episode 5

Like Jung Daesik, he was staying in the house of the raiding titans, so it wasn't too far away.

He was only a short walk, so he could be called his neighbor's cousin.

Jung Daesik rang his bell in front of Jae-woo Lee's house, which looked exactly like his own.

Soon, the front door suddenly opened, and Jae-woo Lee appeared with a mixed expression of delight and bewilderment.

"Captain!"

"Did you have a good day?"

"Even so, I was just about to visit you. How did you get here?"

"I stopped by because it was close. May I come in?"

"Oh, yes. It's messy, but please come in first."

As I stepped into Jae-Woo Lee's house, a turbulent landscape caught my eye.

Jaewoo Lee was filling the small house with all sorts of junk.

There were fifty thousand things piled up in a mess, except for a space that one person could barely pass through, a sofa seat, and a table top.

"What is all this?"

When Jung Daesik asked the question because he was confused, Jaewoo Lee smiled shyly.

"Ah, I was collecting these things in case I needed them... hahaha."

"Well, obsessive compulsive storage... isn't there such a thing?"

"No! At least they don't collect garbage. They're all useful."

It was doubtful whether it was true or not, but Jung Daesik sat down with his buttocks on the cramped sofa.

He opened the drink pack he had brought, handed one to Jae-woo Lee, and sat down to talk with him.

"What came today is..."

"I know. I'm not helping the fight in the slightest."

Jaewoo Lee spoke first with a gloomy expression on his face.

"But I never meant to disturb you. I was just trying to do my best on my own, but the situation was twisted. Besides, Ki Cheol-min, the child was arguing with me, so my nerves were sharp..."

"Okay, that's all, he was originally in the mermaid unit, right? It was under the command of Vice-Captain Yeo Su-hee."

"Yes."

"Tell me about it there. How did you fight there?"

Jaewoo Lee took a deep breath.

"I can't even tell you how I fought. I haven't done much in battle."

"You haven't done anything?"

“I was always in the back row because I was in the middle of a battle. I couldn’t even use my abilities. If I pulled out a piece of paper, I would have an accident. Well, it didn’t match that unit anyway. As you know, the commander is the magical power that moves water. It's the complete opposite of me, who uses paper. It's always tattered because the paper gets wet with water..."

"That's no excuse."“But, did Captain Yeo Su-hee use that as an excuse? He didn’t let me fight. I told you to stay still, because the settlement will be evenly distributed. That’s what helps.”

If Jae-Woo Lee was the way he is now in all battles, he would have done it.

Jung Daesik thought for a moment and said.

"In the unit that was there before? You, you changed units four times, didn't you?"

"Yes. But they were all the same. At first, I was involved in battles, but later I went inside and outside because it was annoying."

"Then it's been like this since you joined the Titan raid. How did you get into the Titan raid?"

“When I came in, the competition for enlistment in the Titan Raid was not as fierce as it is now, so I was able to come in. Of course, if I hadn’t succeeded in renewing my contract, I wouldn’t have been able to be a member of the Titan Raid until now, but the commander of the engineering team always extended my contract. "

"Hmm."

Perhaps Kang Yeong-hoo was a waste of Lee Jae-woo's ability.

It's not like he has Lee Jae-woo himself anyway, and his realization ability will show great power if he does it well, so he must have been thinking of holding on to him somehow.

Meanwhile, Jae-Woo Lee could not find a fundamental solution and wandered from one unit to another.

"How was it before the Titan raid? Have you ever had a party, raid, or teamfight?"

“At that time, I was able to go in and out of dungeons with just my abilities. I’ve never done it much. I’ve been involved in places like Suljapot, but I don’t know. They all hate me. .."

"So, technically speaking, you've never had a proper team play, right?"

"It's like that. But, isn't that the same for Kim Song-geun and Kim Tae-hee?"

Jung Daesik was furious at Jaewoo Lee's response.

'This bastard looks like he's not thinking, but he's aware of that again.'

Jaewoo Lee's protest continued.

"Kim Song-geun is also used to fighting only with his own self, so he can't fight cooperatively with other people, right? Kim Tae-hee treats his colleagues like some kind of bug. It's not right? It's unfair to just blame me."

"I'm not here to blame you. I'm here to find a solution."

Jung Daesik glanced at Lee Jae-woo and said.

"To be honest. How did you feel when you joined the Fenrir unit? I unilaterally appointed you and called you in. Are you satisfied with that decision and followed it?"

Jae-Woo Lee looked at him and replied.

"...I didn't really care which unit I went to. It doesn't matter, right? This is already the fifth time. To be honest, I never seriously thought about whether I liked it or hated it because I thought that I would end up being an outsider in battle. "

"How about the troops? They're your colleagues now. Do you have any feelings for them?"

"Ki Cheol-min is really annoying. Look at that kid's mannerisms. He must have had a sword on his snout since he was born. I don't know if he's good enough. To be honest, he's the last in our unit, right?"

"Even if his skills are that way, he's the one who's more useful to our unit. Not you."

When Jung Daesik pierced Jungkok, Jaewoo Lee had a very dissatisfied expression on his face.

He grunted and continued to insult his other companions.

But he was constantly trying to appeal to the fact that he was not alone.

In such a way, Jung Daesik read the childish heart of wanting to be recognized.

'How old is this guy? Is he twenty-two years old? twenty three years old? That's still young enough. The mental age seems to be younger. He dropped out of school when he was a teenager and joined the Titan raid and was not socialized because he had only been with the Hunters.'

In other words, he was still a teenage boy-like personality.

Do I have to say that I have just crossed the threshold of 2nd and 3rd grade?

Jung Daesik decided not to see Jaewoo Lee as an adult man.

He felt much lighter when he decided to just treat him like a big kid.

Even if it's an adult, but if it's a child, someone like Jung Daesik who is not good at human relationships can somehow coax them.

Jung Daesik thought for a moment and said.

"That doesn't mean your abilities aren't great."

"Ah, what a rare ability I have."

Jae-Woo Lee, who had lost the grass at Jung Daesik's point, quickly became bloated.

Jung Daesik knew that Jae-woo Lee could only believe in his own abilities.

In fact, he would have been released if it wasn't for that ability he was a paper magician.

So, the party believed in one thing, and it was like going out.

In fact, if you take out that ability, it may be that he has a surprisingly low self-esteem and is easily depressed.

'I guess that's why I wasted my magic without being able to show my abilities properly because I was pretentious to not become this guy. Would you like to boost your self-confidence first?'

"wake up."

"Uh, where are you going?"

"Enter the dungeon."

"Yes? Let's go hunting together?"

"Yeah, it's not exactly hunting. I think it's just a warm-up. I want to see your abilities comfortably."

* * *

"Girl rumble!"

"Rubble!"

When the goblins saw several snakes that appeared suddenly, they scattered in all directions in the Honbi Baeksan Sea.

Jae-Woo Lee exclaimed, "Shall we go after him?"

"Okay. Rather, is there a reason why you often use snakes?"

"It's the easiest to draw."

"Ah, I do."

In fact, the snakes Jae-Woo Lee embodied seemed too clumsy to call them snakes.

Although he calls himself a drawing artist, Jaewoo Lee was not very good at drawing.

The snakes also had a large body and a somewhat stupid-looking face.

I drew it with ink, so the outline is blurry.

Even with such a sight, the goblins who ran away in fear were almost ridiculous.

Jung Daesik thought for a moment and said.

"If drawing a snake is simple, why don't you just draw a snake for every battle? Why would you make a giant or something?"

"Isn't that better?"

"...that's right."

“And I usually draw things that are difficult to draw in advance and bring them with me. Shall I show you?”

"Okay, let's see."

Jung Daesik took the wad of paper Jae-woo Lee pulled out and unfolded it.

Inside, there were monsters that Lee Jae-woo drew with skills that were no better than elementary school students.

Jung Daesik said as he turned it page by page.

"Your ability has to be drawn by yourself, but is it effective? The more concrete the picture, the different it is? Can't it be recycled?"

"Oh, of course, it has to be my drawing. I have to work on the paint and paper beforehand. And, of course, the more concrete the better, the better? It cannot be recycled.

"Well? Then wouldn't it be better to study painting? It would be good to improve your drawing skills. Isn't it better to make a scroll and carry it with you?"

"I have a free artistic soul. I don't want to go to a private academy. Besides..."

Jaewoo Lee scratched the back of the head.

"I have no money."

"No money?"

Jung Daesik widened his eyes.

"What about all the money you earned while on the Titan raid?"

Jaewoo Lee tilted his head.

"If you just use it here and there, it disappears? As you know, all the items that hunters use are expensive."

Jung Daesik remembered all the rubbish piled up in his house.

Those useless things that I can't even guess what their purpose is.

Have you been wasting your money buying things like that?

It was a really bad sense of money.

Jung Daesik, a bone-chilling nerd, felt his anger welling up.

"Yeah, but what you use is limited. Why are you buying those things?"

"If I just leave it alone, wouldn't it be useless?"

Jung Daesik was blown away.

"...I can't help it. This is an order. You, spend some money on me from now on!"

"Yes?"

“I will manage your funds appropriately. I will use some of that money for you to learn how to draw. If you have better drawings, you can fight much more comfortably than you are now, right?”

"Yeah, but it takes a lot of magic to draw a good picture."

"You have the highest level of magical power among the Fenrir troops. You surpass me. But what's the problem?"

"It's because the commander doesn't know!"

"Where can I draw now?"

Jung Daesik handed a blank piece of paper to Jaewoo Lee. He grumbled and started painting.
