Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad [EN]: Chapter 178

The next morning,

Choi Hyun-seok set out with a pounding heart.

The education he had been so eagerly awaiting was about to begin.

‘Now I’ll grow rapidly like Abelson, right?’

He had suffered so many stomachaches since arriving in Inemosit.

Choi Hyun-seok hunted like a zombie, barely sleeping 24 hours a day.

In comparison, Abelson trained relatively comfortably, yet her combat power increased so much that it rivaled his own.

Her combat power had already reached nearly 160,000.

‘This is ridiculous.’

No matter how he thought about it, this felt unfair.

If he hadn’t leveled up so much while fighting Sarah Dunphy’s undead army, he might have been overtaken in combat power.

That’s how fast Abelson’s growth rate was.

She must have put in her own effort, but this growth rate was truly strange.

‘It’s all because of Hyuna noona [older sister/female friend].’

The decisive difference between Abelson and Choi Hyun-seok was one thing.

Park Hyuna’s educational guidance.

There must be a secret to growth there.

Now that he was also receiving Park Hyuna’s education, all that was left was to grow explosively.

“So, what do you want to learn?”

Park Hyuna crossed her arms, leaning to one side.

She looked up at Choi Hyun-seok with a crooked gaze.

“Huh?”

Choi Hyun-seok wore a dumbfounded expression.

“Aren’t you going to train me?” “I don’t really have anything to teach you.”

“What nonsense are you talking about!”

For a moment, harsh words popped out without him realizing it.

“What ‘dog’? Say it again.”

Park Hyuna’s eyebrows twitched.

Choi Hyun-seok’s face showed embarrassment as he realized his mistake, but he couldn’t back down now.

He bit his lip and took a step forward.

“I saw with my own eyes Abelson’s combat power increasing exponentially while being educated by you, noona.”

“So?”

“Please do the same for me!” “Haa… you ignorant bastard.”

Park Hyuna sighed and shook her head.

“Are the residents of this world the same as us? You can never grow like Abelson.”

“What do you mean?” “People here grow by gaining enlightenment. They usually express it as breaking through a ‘wall’.”

Park Hyuna opened her status window.

“Warriors are different. There’s no such thing as a wall. We just level up and increase our stats, and we get stronger. That’s why I told you to hunt like crazy.”

“Hmm…”

He understood what she meant.

Abelson doesn’t have a status window, and when her skills improve, that immediately leads to an increase in combat power.

However, Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t easily accept it.

“Is everyone’s growth that fast originally?”

Even if the growth system is different, the speed is too overwhelming.

If everyone in this world grew like Abelson, most of the world would be heroes and legends.

Park Hyuna resolved his doubts about that.

“Abelson is an exception. Her potential and talent were high, but her abilities were not developed at all. So, I gave her some advice to break through the wall quickly.”

“I don’t understand very well.”

“To put it simply, it’s more like she found her place rather than growing. It will be difficult to grow as fast as she has until now.”

“Ah… I understand.”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a sullen face.

“Then what do I learn? Fast leveling secrets? Growth tips?” “Actually, I don’t really have anything to teach you.”

“But, you are much stronger than me, noona, aren’t you?” “That’s just because I’ve lived longer.”

Park Hyuna sighed deeply.

“Think about it. What can I teach you? Magic? As I said before, it’s not efficient for you to learn.”

“…”

“Combat? Honestly, it hurts my pride, but if you take away physical specs, you and I are similar. Rather, there are many areas where you are better.”

Choi Hyun-seok grinned at the words that he was better in many areas of combat.

“Are you saying that I am stronger in close combat?”

Park Hyuna tilted her head 45 degrees.

“Do you want to die right now?”

She asked, raising her fist.

“… No.”

“Don’t be too cocky.”

“Yes.”

Park Hyuna, who had briefly summarized the situation, continued.

“Anyway, what you need is to keep leveling up, not this kind of training.”

“Then why did you say that yesterday? Saying something about upgrading the software…”

Choi Hyun-seok remembered it clearly.

The day before, Park Hyuna had said.

“Let’s start in earnest from tomorrow. You’ve escaped the paper doll body, so it’s time to upgrade the software.”

He couldn’t help but feel disappointed that she had said she would teach him something great, but her attitude changed like this the next day.

As if she had thought of something at those words, Park Hyuna clapped her hands.

“Ah, I forgot. Actually, there is one thing that you lack and I can fill.”

“What is it?”

“Fighting spirit.”

“Fighting spirit?”

“Yes, your fighting spirit. They’re all half-baked.” “Well, other than Promot, I don’t have anything completed.” “Let’s finish that first. I’m an expert in that field.”

Increasing the completeness of fighting spirit.

The time had come to finish the work that had been put off.

***

Sullivan Campbell Wheeler.

An American warrior, she belongs to ‘Ultimun Pes’ [Latin for ‘Last Hope’].

Recently, she had been giving Choi Hyun-seok a physical examination about once a week, and today was one of those days.

“Hmm…”

She took her hand off Choi Hyun-seok’s body and opened her mouth with a sigh.

“I still can’t find anything special.”

“I see…”

“Don’t worry too much. It’s not like your condition is getting worse. Even if you just maintain your current condition, there won’t be any particular problems.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Choi Hyun-seok bowed his head and got up from his seat.

Sullivan, who had now become his doctor, looked at him.

“Are you leaving right away?” “Where would I have time to rest? I have to save as many people as possible!” “Oh my, Mr. Choi is such a wonderful man.” “Hahaha! It’s nothing! I’m just doing my duty as a warrior….” Pow!

At that moment, someone hit Choi Hyun-seok in the back of the head.

“Stop the bullshit and come out. I’m busy.” “Tsk, I was going to strike a pose for the first time in a while…”

Sullivan smiled, covering her mouth with her hand as she watched Choi Hyun-seok grumble.

Choi Hyun-seok followed Park Hyuna out of the cabin.

Outside, Abelson and Bobo were waiting.

“Where are we going this time?”

“Agros Kingdom.”

“Agros? Where is that again?” “It’s right next to the Odria city-state alliance where we first hunted the undead.”

A month had already passed since they started hunting undead.

The group basically trained in Inemosit, but hunted undead whenever they had the chance.

This was because opportunities to gain so much experience were rare.

▫Level: 1053

Thanks to this, Choi Hyun-seok was able to raise many levels.

In Inemosit, it was difficult to raise even one level even if he hunted all day.

When he came out to hunt undead, he raised several levels in one day, so he was able to raise quite a few levels.

“The lich we first met. Was her name Sarah Dunphy? I hope guys like that who give a lot of experience will come out.” “You’ll die. It’s already rising insanely fast, so don’t be greedy.” “I’m just disappointed. Disappointed…”

There was one thing he realized while hunting undead, and that was that Sarah Dunphy was a very special case.

Among the undead they had faced since her, none were as strong as Sarah Dunphy.

That’s not to say they were weak, but they were at a level that could be easily caught with Park Hyuna’s help.

It was natural that the experience was less because it was relatively easy, but Choi Hyun-seok was disappointed.

“If I meet those guys one more time, I think I’ll be able to reach level 1,100 quickly…'”

It was when Choi Hyun-seok was muttering with a mixture of anticipation and worry.

“What are you muttering about? Let’s go quickly.”

Park Hyuna, who had already arrived in front of the space warp gate, shouted.

Choi Hyun-seok, who had been lagging behind, hurried over.

“I’m going! I’m going!”

Hoping that stronger guys would appear this time, Choi Hyun-seok entered the gate.

***

“Are you done cleaning up?”

Park Hyuna waved her hand and approached.

Her clothes were torn here and there, and blood was stained in places as if she had been injured.

“Yes. I’m done, but are you okay, noona?” “This much will get better if I apply some saliva.”

Park Hyuna shrugged her shoulders and said.

“What’s your level?”

“I leveled up 7 times and it’s 1,060.”

“Oh, you’ve leveled up a lot.”

He had leveled up 7 times by defeating the undead that had invaded the Agros Kingdom.

He had raised quite a few levels in one day, but Choi Hyun-seok’s expression still showed disappointment.

“It’s good, but I’m a little disappointed.”

“What is it?”

“I was hoping it would go up quickly at once.” “This bastard is talking nonsense again.”

Park Hyuna clicked her tongue.

“Do you know how hard it is to level up? Originally, if you’re around your level, you should be grateful even if you only level up once a week, you bastard.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course! Anyway, talented bastards don’t know how lucky they are.”

Park Hyuna, who said that, was also a talented person in the eyes of others, but anyway, that’s it.

Anything is always bigger than your own rice cake [idiom for wanting what others have].

“Okay. Let’s wrap things up. We have to go back and complete the fighting spirit.”

All the undead disappeared by defeating the dominant entity.

There’s nothing more to do here.

There was still a lot of work left to complete the fighting spirit, so they had to hurry back and continue their research.

“Noona. Aren’t you going to collect the money?” “Ah, I almost forgot.”

Park Hyuna clapped her hands as if she had forgotten.

“That’s right. We have to get what we have to get even if we leave.”

The group is currently near the Milphton Territory of the Agros Kingdom.

Before the undead extermination, Park Hyuna made a deal with the lord of Milphton.

They agreed to receive two thousand gold for exterminating the undead.

Two thousand gold was a burdensome amount even for Milphton, which was a large territory, but the lord of Milphton readily accepted, thinking it was better than the territory collapsing.

“After all, a side job is the best.”

The group, who had simply cleaned their bodies with magic, headed straight to Milphton City.

“Wait outside. I’ll get the money and come back.”

“Yes.”

The group waited outside, and Park Hyuna represented them and had an audience with the lord.

The lord of Milphton, Osian Hugh Milphton, greeted her with open arms.

“Oh! You’ve already dealt with those guys!?” “Yes. Well. It wasn’t particularly difficult.”

Park Hyuna said nonchalantly at the lord’s words.

She was exuding an aura that said to give her the money quickly.

However, the lord was a man with considerable my-pace [doing things at one’s own speed], as befitting a nobleman.

“Amazing! Amazing! I heard from the report that the undead army was over 10,000 and there were many heroes, but only three of you wiped them out in one day!” “To be exact, five sub-heroes, three heroes, one sub-legend. The rest of the mobs are about nine thousand?” “Heo… amazing.”

The lord seemed truly impressed.

That’s understandable.

The opponent was a huge force that Milphton’s entire force could not be sure of stopping even if they defended the castle.

It seemed unbelievable that only three people had dealt with such a force in one day without any particular damage.

“If you’re done checking, I want to leave soon.” “Ah! Look at my mind.”

The lord raised his hand.

“Hey! Why don’t you bring the gold coins quickly!”

At the lord’s words, the servants appeared carrying sacks containing 2,000 gold coins.

The weight alone was close to 100kg, so the servants had to struggle to move the sacks.

“Well, since you’re a great lord, I won’t check the amount separately.”

The lord of Milphton laughed heartily at Park Hyuna’s words.

“I put more than the originally planned 2,000, so you don’t have to worry!”

A smile appeared on Park Hyuna’s face at the lord’s words.

This man. As expected of a great lord, he is generous.

“Then goodbye. Call me again if you have any work next time~”

Park Hyuna stored the sack of gold coins in her inventory and was about to turn around and leave.

“Wait a minute!”

The lord hurriedly got up and ran over.

“We met like this, so why don’t you take a good rest here today? I’ll give you my best treatment.” “Ah… it’s okay.”

Park Hyuna scratched her head with an expression that she didn’t like.

A blatant look of annoyance.

It wasn’t an attitude to show in front of the great lord, but the lord of Milphton continued without showing any displeasure.

“How can I send away the hero who saved Milphton like this! If you leave like this, I won’t be able to save face.”

Park Hyuna sighed deeply.

If he said that much, there was no choice.

She had to stay for a day, even if it was to save the lord’s face.

“Haa, then I’ll be in your care.” “Stay as long as you want! Our territory’s chef is so skilled that even the king praised him greatly, so you won’t regret it! Haha!”

Unlike other arrogant great nobles, he is a man who laughs a lot and is cheerful.

At that moment, the lord stepped back as if he had realized something.

“Ah, look at my mind. I’ve been holding on to the warrior who just fought for too long. Let me guide you to your room first.”

The lord attached a servant to Park Hyuna.

When she came out with the servant, Choi Hyun-seok, who had been waiting, approached.

“Did the work go well?” “Uh… I got the money, and I’m going to rest here for a day.”

“Suddenly?”

Park Hyuna approached Choi Hyun-seok’s ear and whispered in a small voice.

“… The lord kept begging me. I can see through him, but I can’t help it. I’ll just hang out with him and leave tomorrow morning.”

Choi Hyun-seok nodded as if he knew what was going on.

The lord clearly wanted to bring the group under his command.

It wasn’t the first or second time this had happened, so the group was now used to it.

“Now that it’s like this, take a good rest. I heard that the chef here is so good at cooking.” “Hoo, I’m looking forward to that.”

The group, who had left the splendid mansion following the servant, crossed the well-decorated garden.

Usually, guests stay in the annex, but it was such a large mansion that the road to the annex was quite far.

‘I have to live in a mansion like this someday.’

The garden with the sunset was as beautiful as a painting.

How fun would it be to have a sweet newlywed life with a noble young lady in a mansion with such a garden?

It was when Choi Hyun-seok’s delusions were endlessly spreading.

“Hoo, I felt a familiar energy, so it was you guys?”

A husky female voice was heard from one side of the garden.

The group was startled and turned their heads.

At the same time, Park Hyuna took a fighting stance and gritted her teeth.

“You are…!”

Inside the garden, dyed red by the sunset.

“It’s been a while.”

A woman sitting at a table and leisurely drinking tea, Sarah Dunphy smiled.
