I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

35 – Under the Lamp (1)

It was a monumental day in its own way.

Since there was not much time left, everyone was moving their bodies moderately and preparing for the duel.

Especially Lee Seon-hwa, who had a good rest, was the most enthusiastic.

Daesan Kang and the others were also warming up by themselves.

Since I’m not going to a duel this time, I’ve been quietly watching from behind.

Seol-i fell asleep leaning next to me, probably not getting enough sleep yesterday.

What is Seoyeon?

It disappeared before I knew it.

It’s a common thing now, so I wasn’t very impressed.

In the middle of enjoying the peace of the morning like that.

Lee Seon-hwa came to visit me.

“Hyeonu-nim. I want to ask you something about the duel.”

… This person is a bit burdensome.

“What’s up?”

“Yes, I heard that this duel is important for the progress of the first floor. I came to ask if it is true.”

I was still shaking for a while at the attitude that raised me very high.

I finally opened my mouth.

“I’m assuming that you will provide information based on this result.”

“Then…”

She hesitated.

Quietly ask.

“Would it be helpful if I won the duel?”

“…? Of course it will help.”

“Is that so…”

“?”

The time when I was puzzled by a strange question.

In an instant, Seonhwa Lee’s magic moved.

– Flinch.

Perhaps it was because Seo-yeon hit her often, she reflexively raised her magic power.

Lee Seon-hwa just stayed still.

“…Why do you do that?”

On the contrary, he seemed surprised by my reaction.

What is it?

Unexpectedly, you take a look at her condition.

“If I’m going to be rude…”

“…It’s nothing special. I’m looking forward to good results.”

“Ah, yes! I’ll do my best!”

… I realized that Lee Seon-hwa’s magic power had increased.

That seems to be the reason why the mana moved.

‘It’s probably a superpower.’

What kind of ability is this?

I don’t know if there was a trigger in the conversation just now….

Does it have anything to do with talking to me?

I was thinking while watching Lee Seon-hwa’s back.

Since I was thinking that I should just ask Seoyeon.

“I don’t know about Seonhwa Lee.”

“…Really?”

“It’s not fixed yet.”

Seoyeon appeared behind me before I knew it and gave a meaningful answer.

Not fixed?

She turned her head to ask what that meant.

“….”

She shut her mouth at Seoyeon’s bizarre appearance.

Her hands and back were full of what seemed to be all sorts of camping items.

It was to the point where you could think of it as a monster.

“…Can I take it with me?”

“I’m still fine.”

“Hmm.”

I mean, it’s not possible on other floors.

It probably won’t be difficult, but I tried to help out of courtesy.

“Ummm…”

“Oh.”

Seol-i got caught on my shoulder.

Just then, Kangdaesan looked this way, and she waved her free arm.

Then Kang Dae-san and the others approach this way.

I soon found Seoyeon with her luggage full.

They looked at Seol-i who was sleeping and me who was sitting with strange eyes.

“Could you share some of your luggage?”

“…Okay.”

“Thank you.”

I don’t know why, but once I handed out the luggage.

I could hear the stories they were sharing as we took turns.

“That looks really bad.”

“That’s right bro.”

“I definitely warned you yesterday…”

“There are many cases where the original good-looking guys have less personality.”

… I hear everything.

However, I understood the situation.

Looks like I’m a piece of trash that I leisurely sat down with Seol and let Seoyeon run errands for.

Just like yesterday, what kind of image am I to Kang Dae-san?

I was so worried and glared at Seo-yeon, the culprit of the incident.

Seoyeon rather shamelessly opened her mouth.

“Why? It’s all true.”

“No, then let’s talk…”

“Originally, you have to follow them carefully.”

“Whoa…”

How do you notice when you disappear without a sign?

Looking at the sky with a deep sigh as she handed over the luggage while lightly ignoring my unfair eyes.

Not long after.

[Time left in waiting room: 0 days 0 hours 0 minutes]

The surroundings turned white again.

[Go to the 1st floor.]

“Oohhhhh!!!”

“Whoaaa!!!”

… It was again in the damp jungle.

I checked my surroundings at the sudden cheers and heat.

Two orcs clashed where I fought Haktan.

‘Has the great fight already begun?’

I didn’t know how much time had passed, so I sneakily looked around.

“How about brother?”

“…The skills aren’t bad.”

“Keuhehehe. The evaluation is generous.”

Haktan, who seemed to be in a good mood, was drinking next to me.

“They’re still a long way off.”

“Everyone is immature at times.”

“That’s right!”

Once I sat down next to Haktan as a great warrior….

“Ugh…”

It’s noisy, but Seol-i, who burrows into my arms, seems to have been left out of the duel because he is also a wizard.

The rest… Didn’t see.

Perhaps they are preparing for a duel.

Soon.

“I will start the next duel!”

As if I was right, a new orc and one of Gangdaesan’s party came up on the arena.

“Hmm.”

And then the battle began.

It was a balanced battle in its own way, probably because of the balance patch in the tower.

… After a red tattoo suddenly appeared on the orc’s back, he started to be pushed back.

“Brother, is that?”

“Can’t you remember that too… It’s the ‘Soul of a Warrior’.”

“The soul of a warrior?”

“It is the decision of a warrior’s life and what gives him strength.”

Are you saying that the power to give differs depending on the life you’ve lived?

“Something is difficult.”

“…Since the brothers are still young, they may reawaken their warrior souls.”

“Thank you. I’ll try.”

I never had one, so I’m not sad about it.

That warrior’s soul was coveted.

A kind of growth equipment… Because it looked like

‘If you look at the words ‘the decision of the life you’ve lived, you’ll be sure.’

Then suddenly.

I realized I had never seen Haktan’s tattoo.

“By the way, brothers have never used it, have they?”

You fought me twice.

I looked at it with that meaning.

Haktan said while looking at a distant mountain somewhere.

“Yes, but not because I disrespected my brother.”

“Then…”

“I couldn’t use it for some reason.”

“I see.”

If the conditions are met, Haktan’s tattoo can be activated.

… Then there could be up to phase 2.

Even if the warrior’s soul is a growth type….

The spirit of Haktan, who is old and has lived the life of a great warrior, is more powerful than that of an ordinary orc.

Because I don’t think I’m strong enough to be on the first floor.

“Wowaaa!!!”

“He lost!”

“What was the last blow!”

The winner of the duel has just been decided.

The climber’s spear accelerated unreasonably and pierced the orc’s shoulder, bringing victory.

‘My name is Seokjin Kang. My ability is accelerated.’

I remember that Kang Dae-san and his party were quite good.

It does as much as expected.

And the battle continues.

The climbers won the victory by displaying their superpowers at the right moment, as if yesterday’s instruction was helpful.

After Kang Dae-san vs. Hagtun, Lee Seon-hwa vs. Shuhog.

Seoyeon came up to the arena.

“Huh, I thought it was only the brothers. The whole tribe has a strange talent, right?”

“You have to be clever to live in the forest.”

“That’s true. I should have gone to the forest someday…”

Haktan, who had been talking with a smile, suddenly hardened his expression and looked around.

‘Ehh.’

A reaction that doesn’t go well with Haktan.

Naturally, I thought of ‘what happened in the Forest of Trials’, the master of betting.

‘What the hell are you doing?’

“I really forgot all about it.”

“Sorry…”

“Hmm.”

Come to think of it, I have to ask about the ‘footprints of giants’….

I didn’t ask because I thought I’d have to leave the village if I asked.

I’m going to ask about this later.

While Haktan was paying attention.

New duelists have arrived on the arena.

One of course was Seoyeon.

The other… It was the orc who almost fought me on behalf of Haktan on the first day.

It seems that Seoyeon sent a fairly strong orc.

‘I won’t be able to win even if Haktan goes out.’

Looking at the scene Seoyeon showed me yesterday, that was clear.

And as expected.

Seoyeon, who wielded her sword beautifully, pushed the orc in an instant.

“…!”

Because I am fascinated by that figure.

I wonder if she was talking in her sleep, but Seol covered my eyes and tried to turn her head away.

“Uh huh.”

All failed.

Anyway.

The overwhelming difference made even the Orcs who cheered regardless of win or loss shut their mouths.

Haktan next to me asked me a question.

“Isn’t that warrior… Perhaps stronger than his brother?”

Uh, that’s right. Several times older than me.

… Of course, I couldn’t say that, so I just covered it up.

“There were some circumstances.”

“Ejaculation?”

“It’s not something to brag about. It’s just that it wasn’t suitable for a great warrior.”

“…I see.”

Thanks to Haktan, who barely noticed, he didn’t ask any more questions, so I evaded it.

… For some reason, I didn’t think that the duel would end.

“…I think I know why it doesn’t fit.”

“Whoa…that’s right. Sociality and manners are very lacking.”

“No matter how strong you are, to play with one-sidedly like that…”

Let the enraged Haktan step forward and try to stop the duel.

“Wait.”

… I stopped him

“Brother?”

“But, can you watch over me for a second?”

“Hmm…?”

“Please.”

Although he said he lacked social skills as a half joke.

She thinks she’s the one who can smile if need be, at least in her top-climbing work.

If she dared to do such a thing, there must be a reason.

Thinking of that, I kept restraining the Haktans.

Finally, the atmosphere of the entire duel became threatening.

“This—dog—the same—year———!!!”

… A strange thing happened.
