Faith Life of a Former Scammer

019. uh?! crazy?! Oh God!

“I’m sorry for asking you such a sudden request, Swordsmanship Instructor.”

“not. Rather, it feels like I have been given a gift. There must have been a reason that Priest Runda praised him so much.”

Leon scratched the back of his head as if embarrassed.

“Then, please take care of me.”

“okay. Thank you for the good news.”

Leone politely bowed her head and left the swordsmanship instructor’s office.

‘I have to bring a present.’

Even special gifts for heretics were prepared. Leone moved to the training ground with light steps.

“hey! Don’t start yet!”

“Wait for a moment!”

Before I even reached the training ground, I heard a buzz.

‘What are you doing?’

The reserve battle priests were gathering and chatting. Leon stealthily approached the place where the guys gathered.

“Full bet in 3 minutes!”

“What is the dividend in 3 minutes? How does Gomtaengi collapse in 3 minutes?”

“I go 15 minutes safely today!”

“yes. Everyone here knows you’re a jerk. I’m 7 minutes! this is a man! This is a combat priest!”

Bet money and predict the outcome.

‘Look at these?’

A small gambling board was open in front of the training ground.

‘I thought you were harassing me for no reason. I didn’t expect to bother you for something so novel. All of you guys are dead.’

Leon sneaked in.

“1 gold for Philip’s victory.”

“… … What?!”

I wasn’t surprised to hear that Philip was winning.

“Is it real gold?”

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the gold that Leon was holding.

It was a success that caught everyone’s attention.

“Hey you idiot! Does it matter? Who is he? Anyone know?”

“uh? Hey, what are you?”

Interest soon turned to vigilance, but that didn’t matter.

“ah. I’m sorry, seniors. My name is Leone, a new member of the reserve service priest.”

Leon nodded with a simple smile.

“A service priest?”

“what. you were surprised Were you on the downtrodden side?”

The deep vigilance was released as soon as the identity was confirmed. The service priest’s label as a loser was helpful.

‘If you ignore me, thank you. I’m going to Hogu here.’

The rich Hogu is the most welcome guest at the gambling table.

“But the dividend is amazing. Just looking at Philip’s body, I think he’ll win unconditionally. Can’t I wear it too? Please.”

When Leon spoke urgently, a deep smile appeared on the faces of the other guys.

“Kya! Wasn’t there a big-hearted priest on the service priest side as well?”

“Oh, there is no reason not to participate!”

“Does everyone agree?”

“Gorum! What’s the fun of a stuffy educational life without even this?”

The guys kissed in an instant and welcomed Leon’s participation.

“Ugh. What a relief. 1 Gold Can I bet on Philip’s victory?”

“Five! Are you bold?”

“I saw Philip’s body in the dorm shower room. Full armor… … mmm! no. It’s just that I’m the same service priest!”

Leone’s acting is clumsy and looks stupid. Doubtful, but no one doubted.

‘It’s really nice to be a volunteer priest at times like this.’

The perception that service priests are stupid and lesser losers.

This awareness was now paying off.

“haha. don’t worry. Once a bet is placed, it cannot be canceled or changed.”

“Did everyone bet?”

“We are all done. Those guys were the last.”

As if trying to seduce Leon, the guy desperately induced a bet.

“Then, I will bet on Philip’s victory with a 1 gold bet.”

Leon put out 1 gold.

Seeing this, everyone desperately held back their laughter.

‘It’s a pity to end it like this, but shall we pour some oil on it?’

Leone started flirting with the guys with a regretful expression.

“If the plate was a little bigger, I would have walked more, but it’s a pity. Ah, this is the plate I always eat.”

At Leon’s words, the atmosphere around them changed.

“Could there be more gold?”

“Yes. We still have a long way to go.”

The embers that were going out began to burn with oil called gold. Greed flashed in the boys’ eyes.

“The customer says it’s a pity, but we can’t just skip this! Shall we grow our plate a bit?”

Skipping right here is stupid. I had to pull out more to rip off.

“The plate is too small. Even if I win, the gold I take is not the same, right?”

Leon asked the guys back as if he had already won.

They were not the ones to stand still after being provoked.

“For those of you who will be in this game, bring everything you have!”

“Oh! You can’t lose to a service priest!”

“I still have a little bit of the request money I received from the subjugation training session the other day!”

“ah. Do you still think it’s not enough?”

Take out the gold you saved.

“I’ll accept the IOU, too.”

“Goes. This goes even if you pay for it!”

“Everyone who’s gonna wear it, stick around!”

“The one who doesn’t wear it is an asshole!”

hung up on debt

With the advent of Hogu, even those who were not interested in gambling began to participate.

“If this is the case, we can go further! Ask and go double!”

The plate grew at an alarming rate.

* * *

“Philip! Are you ready?”

“Yes. I’m ready.”

Philip’s expression hardened.

“hey. You do it every day, what’s so serious about it?”

“No, just.”

He was annoyed at the ambiguous Philippe.

“hey! Don’t you know that seniors and juniors are there to help you? You must have shame.”

“Mi, I’m sorry.”

Philip was no fool.

I knew at least that this help was not such pure help.

But it was true that he was trying to help anyway.

“Ha, really. come out soon wait kids.”

“Ah, I see.”

Philip hid his complicated mind and got up hastily.

“Ugh. That bear.”

When he called for Philip, he went out annoyed.

“Ha, you can. you can do it.”

Philip came out muttering ‘I can do it’ as if he were reciting an incantation.

“Then, of course you can.”

An unexpected person was waiting outside.

A precious friend who helped you.

“Rion.”

“Philip, I have faith too.”

“uh?”

Leon started saying strange things.

“If you can’t beat them, man. At that time, I will become the Heretic Inquisitor.”

“This, the Heretic Inquisitor?”

“Should I break their heads at least?”

“Oh no! I’ll do it!”

Leon said with a grin.

“Philip, act like a combat priest.”

“yes. Okay!”

“There is already a spark of struggle in your heart. When did you see me lie?”

Naughty and sometimes scary, Leon was the most reliable friend in the world.

Philip shook his head.

“I didn’t see it.”

“Go. Roughly heresy… … .”

“Hey, don’t keep talking about that. Okay! I’ll do my best!”

Philip cut off Leon’s words and quickly ran to the gymnasium.

As if he had never been nervous, Philip’s steps were confident.

‘great. Ready!’

Leon’s gaze was stuck in the air.

prepared until the very end.

win unconditionally

* * *

No one knows how strong Philip is.

When sparring, he only defended, and you can’t tell how strong he is just by watching him train.

But everyone would know that Philip was strong if he fought.

Like a blacksmith forging iron, his body was constantly trained.

A physique condition that anyone would envy.

Even he was still in his infancy.

‘That’s why I get bullied.’

If a guy with a body like that has a weakness that he can’t fight, it’s natural for him to be bullied.

‘Is it more cruel because they are children?’

By bullying Philip, the children must have tasted a sense of superiority.

He must have tormented Philip, who was gifted with physical talent, and thought that he was better, a better person.

‘Well, it’s not bad.’

Taking advantage of your opponent’s weaknesses to win is smart, not bad.

‘If it weren’t for my family.’

Of course, that was for someone else. Rion couldn’t bear what my people and my family were going through.

‘never… … .’

Leone forcibly swallowed the old memories that were about to come to mind and focused on the situation in front of him.

The sparring began in the middle of the gymnasium.

“How many minutes are you going to cover today?”

“Because it’s 15 minutes.”

“No, seven minutes!”

“Anyway, I’m 100% sure I’ll lose.”

Everyone was predicting Philip’s defeat.

“Philip! Win!”

It wasn’t Leon.

If he hadn’t used training, Philip wouldn’t have been able to fight properly until he was in danger.

‘I still feel stuffy inside, but I don’t see things like that!’

That wasn’t the picture Leon wanted.

I wanted to leave a good memory for Philip, the first match.

“Go, Philip! Head-slapping!”

With Leon’s words, the power of training began to move.

Philip reacted as soon as he heard Leon’s words.

thud!

He stepped on the advance as if to break the ground, and swung his muscle-covered arm.

“… … ?!”

Today’s sacrifice, which was not expected to attack, was surprised and did not react.

jump!

I heard a sound I couldn’t believe came from a human head.

dump.

The body collapsed as if it had collapsed.

Dalian ended as soon as it began.

head in one shot.

“… … uh?”

“… … What, what is it?”

“… … .”

The guys who were watching were so shocked that they couldn’t even speak properly.

It was the same for Lyon.

‘… … what’s this.’

[You have partially succeeded in the perfect distribution of power.]

[This is automatically downgraded.]

[Successful distribution of clumsy power.]

[The clumsy advancement was successful.]

[Successful clumsy swing.]

… … .

The notification window that it was successful kept popping up.

‘I? when?’

It was Philip over there who succeeded, not Leon.

‘Sleep, wait.’

When training is used, each other’s body is affected. The automatic physical training was proof of that.

‘The body is affected by training.’

The tree planted in the chest plays a slightly different role.

‘Absorbs part of the growth mechanism.’

To put it simply, if Philip succeeds in technology, Leon will receive a ‘part’ of it.

‘I bring a part of the success roll to the tree.’

Although there were some, Leon also succeeded in the technique, and his body also moved under the influence of training.

The combination of the two had crazy effects.

‘So the success verdict appeared? It’s clumsy, but I think I was judged by my skill?!’

The surprise did not end here.

[You have fulfilled the skill integration conditions.]

[Integrate sub-skills.]

[Skill: The lowest level of martial arts is created.]

‘crazy… … .’

It wasn’t a single combat-related skill, but a combined skill suddenly appeared.

‘What a happy situation… … .’

As if there was still one step left, the notification window appeared again.

[The new function of the creation skill has been confirmed.]

[Re-analyze membership subscriptions.]

‘… … Oh God.’

Rion had no choice but to find God for the first time.

[Your membership has been analyzed.]

[Sowing (播種): Branches scatter seeds. Seeds sown play a similar role to tree branches.]

It was a shocking announcement that you were recruiting new members.

‘What bullshit is this… … Isn’t it?’

There was something like a small seed in the chest of the fallen guy.

Now was not the time to look at the notification window and like it.

“next!”

Leon shouted.

“What?”

The guys asked what that meant.

“next! Where are you looking at the owner! One more guy out!”

“… … What?”

Rion took out the IOUs that she had previously borrowed gold from.

“next! 1 gold is forgiven for each person on a first-come, first-served basis!”

Run, slaves.
