Regressor (1)

"For now , let's try to escape from here."

Obtaining a class. That's the first thing on the list.

"How do we get class?"

"I don't know."

Park Deokgu looked at me with a shocked face.I

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not so smart that I did know everything."

"No , you are smart , aren't you , hyung-nim? At least you seems to be more trustworthy than those who only know how to study. Even thought you look like a nerd." (lol)

He was half right.

Just , I wasn't a very good student.

"So , How do we gain our classes?"

"For now , the only way seems to be by hunting monsters. That women said that our class will depend on our hard work."

"Oh , I think I heard that too..."

"First , we have to act to make a difference , whether it's just swinging it's just swinging the sword while standing in a place or catching monsters. If we stagnate here and do nothing , we will die."

Saying this I poured out everything I had in my leather bag on the ground.

Park Deokgu look at me as if wondering what I was doing , but when I started to put leather on him , trying it up with the sneaker laces , he seemed to realize my intentions.

He look at me with a slightly moved face.

"It's look like armor... but hyung-nim , Don't you need it more than me?"

He would be the one fighting in the front anyways , so I don't have to make one for myself.

It was like one more layer of the insurance to protect my own neck. Just now , I don't go ahead of you only to gain nothing.

However , it's not necessary to expand everything to him.

"You are taller than me."

"I'm afraid that I might not live up to your expectations , but... I will try my best."

I nodded at his words.

****

He definitely lived up to my expectations.

In fact , even only looking at Park Deokgu 's basic stats , you could say that he was somehow strong.

I don't know how our bodies affected our stats , but his stats were nearly twice as high as mine.

I felt especially embarrassed whennlooking at his 30 points of endurance.

His strength , shield and sword out together made his large body seem even bigger.

Adding , to this the clumsily made leather armor , and he look just like a gladiator from some movie.

But it was very natural look for him. It was really not bad.

However , this guy who finally gained some confidence , exceeded my expectations.

"Hyung-nim!"

"I know."

The back of this guy , who pushed away two monsters with his shield , come into my view.

His face is still pale with fear , but even in this state he still hit them with his, shield.

He was just pushing forward with all his might , but monsters wedged btw the wall and his shield only could only aimlessly fail about with their clawed hands.

While Park Deokgu was holding them in place , I raised my spare and stabbed it into the monsters face , once again frowning at the strange sensation under my palms.

'That's right.'

'Haaa!'

Park Deokgu welded a sword in one hand , as he let out a sorry scream.

He frowned , but don't realized his grip on the sword. It was because from previous expiration we learned that carelessness could get us heart.

"Gaeeek!"

When the creature finally dropped without any strength , I pulled back my spare.

"Haah... haah.."

"it's hard."

It's look simple , but it defiantly wasn't simple in practise.

With Park Deokgu's help it was much batter compare to my first time , but there was originally a big gap between our basic stats

spending a few minutes dealing with those guys was enough me to covered in sweat.

"Here , have some water."

"Thank you!"

With a light sigh , Park Deokgu made a worried face and opened his mouth.

"Isn't your stamina a little to low?"

"I've never exercised before."

At list my stamina had increased since we started killing monsters.

'Only by 1 thought.'

Park Deokgu's situation was a little different.

His original 30-points endurance had turned into 33 now. Compare to me , it has a hug achievement.

I wasn't sure if talent affect the rate stat rose , but looking at it , I guess that wasn't it.

His endurance rate potentially allowed him to reach the heroic grade and even beyond if he put his mind to it , so climbing higher at first shouldn't be too difficult for him.

'Damn it.'

Of course what I was feeling wasn't needless jealousy.

What worried me was that Park Deokgu might not need me.

Looking at his innocent face , he don't seem to think way yet.

I come top the conclusion that it would be in my best interests to survive while relying on him.

"By the way , maybe today we could look around a little more , hyung-nim!"

"Look around a little more... By the way , when you speak , keep your voice down."

"Do we really need to be careful."

"I think nose was the reason why so many monsters appeared at the starting point."

"That female guild also talked a lot..."

"Yes , but I don't think that was the main reason. Those monsters seems dull but are sensitive to sound. It's only natural that they poured into the room , since people there were yelling at each other people could have survived if only we started the tutorial quietly."

"You think so?"

"Yes. So while in a fight , we need to turned down the noise a little. For now , we are only dealing with one or two at a time , but when four and five of them gather , we will die. The reason we keepmoving is that if we stay in one place, we might get surrounded."

He cast me a look of peculiar admiration. If only you used your head a little , anyone could realise this.

However , the fact that this innocent guy was looking at me like that made me want to laugh.

I nodded and continued.

"It's possible that all the monsters from this area were lured to this starting point. Perhaps everyone else who managed to run away at that time , Are in a similar situation as us."

I thought the best way to organised information in my head was to discuss it in points like this , one by one.

"Let's stop for a while and eat."

"Yup , good idea."

It was when I was sitting in the floor , quietly munching on tasteless food that I wouldn't even feed a dog that...

"..."

I heard a faint voice from somewhere.

I wanted to pretend I don't hear anything , but Park Deokgu raised his head and opened his mouth.

"Isn't this a human's voice?"

"No way."

"Ahhh...! Help me!"

The voice was getting closer.

"Ahh.."

Theyvhad realised that they were other people here.

'It was a mistake.'

It certainly was a mistake.

It was a mistake to carve out those makes on the walls with a dagger to prevent us from getting lost.

I actually hoped that someone would come , but I never imagined it would be someone yelling at the top of their lungs , as if to wake up a whole town.

'H-hyung nim?'

'Pick up your sword.'

It was too late to avoid it.

"Geeek."

Luckily , the monsters weren't many in number.

It was nice to have new people joint us , but it was also a very unwelcome situation.

"It would be a different story if they had drinking water and food."

There was a problem of limited resources.

This wasn't a charity.

I made comrades in arms , not a new burden.

It Would be ideal if they were someone willing to fight , with drinking water and food , and only a small number of them.

And by the sound of this voice , they had already failed one of those conditions.

It wasn't someone who was willing to fight.

"How annoying.."

"I don't think you need to worry too much , hyung-nim. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of them."

"Easy to say for you."

Park Deokgu ran forward with his sword and shield. I also immediately followed behind him with my spare.

When I stepped closer , I could see a woman being chased by three monsters.

Half torn clothes and overall a pretty face , but that was all her appearance had to offer.

'A civilian woman.'

I don't care if she was scared and running away.

She had no weapons and no food.

After checking the abilities of monsters behind her , I used Mind's Eyes to observe the woman.

'What the hell.'

It was hard to believe just how great the ability of this girl running out of breath was.

In addition , I have never seen a human with the potential to go beyond the legendary grade.

Unlike me , whose magic power stat is still setting on a round 0 , here is already at 10.

"We have never dealt with three at the same time."

Obviously , as soon as I checked her stats , the idea of discarding this girl immediately left my mind and a new plan formed.

"We fight."

"Can we win?"

"We need to Lure them to a more close space."

"I think I known what you mean."

It was more advantageous to fight while leaning against the wall than to be surrounded.

Our escape route would be blocked , but I don't think we would lose so fast.

I tightened my grasp on my spear.

Having found us , the girl run in our direction as fast as she could.

When I gestured to her to come this way , she nodded her head , so it looked like she wasn't completely unable to comprehend anything.

"Wait in the corner."

"O-okay!"

After the woman finally reached our side , Park Deokgu heavily swung his shield as monsters turned the corner.

"Now!"

"Haah!"

It seem like Park Deogku managed to push them back for a moment , but than one of those monsters tried to rush towards him again.

"Hyung nim!"

With a blank mind , I pierced one of them with my spare , while the other one collapsed under Park Deokgu's sword.

The problem was that because of this move , Park Deokgu's stance was broken.

Certainly , dealing with three of them at once wasn't easy.

The only thing I could do to Park Deokgu , who was still holding up his shield , was to continue swinging a spear.

The moment I bit my lips harder , suddenly , I could see a sword protruding from the chest of the last monster.

"Tha-thank you."

"No problem."

Someone helped us.

When the monster collapsed , I saw a face I'd already seen once before.

It was that man who helped me back at the starting point.

I remembered his face that seemed a little desperate at the time.

Only.

"What the..."
