“Well, yeah. Perhaps you should aim for it tomorrow. ”
“Deputy! You said he comes down once a day! The deputy said so!”
The owner of the voice was Tarien. He was scolding the deputy with a nervous voice. That doesn't mean the Harpy Queen is coming back.
“Tsk, tsk.”
That greedy bastard does that for a reason.
Think the Panybull Alliance has won a major in reinforcements? Absolutely not. That's because the reinforcements aren't from Pannibelun.
There's only one way for reinforcements to gain their specialty.
Taking down a Harpy Queen.Tarien is furious because he ran away.
“If you can't catch the Harpy Queen tomorrow, do it yourself! ”
“Get in, Tarien! ”
Tarien grumbles with anger, but the knights rush back after him.
“Tsk. I told you not to act like that. ”
The old knight groaned, frowning as if he didn't like it.
“Yes?”
“It's nothing. ”
If I'm not mistaken, I think the old knight just said it like he bruised Tarien.
If someone else did, I would, but the old knight is the one who drives Tarien.
"To say that, you're a higher rank than I thought you were? ’
Who dares say that to the nobles they serve?
What the hell is an old knight anyway?
Obviously, he was better than the other knights, and there's something about Tarien having trouble with the old knights.
‘It's a very suspicious relationship. ’
“We should go back, too. The Panybull Alliance will take care of the rest later. ”
“Yes.”
“Everyone in the 7th Special Forces, go back and rest. ”
The old knight gives orders to the soldiers on their behalf, as both the commander and the deputy commander have already returned to the barracks.
“Why don't you talk to me for a minute? ”
“Yes?”
An old knight grabbed my arm just as I was about to return to the barracks with the soldiers.
“It'll only take a moment. ”
“Well... sure. ”
“Clark, let's go this way. ”
Following the old knight into the cave, two forks emerge, and he walks ahead of the other path back to the barracks.
Bumblebuck
“You are a strange man. Did you know?”
‘… it's weird to ask that openly. ’
“Haha…. That's the first I've heard of it. ”
Unlike my heart, I had a different word from my mouth.
I have limited words unless I disclose them to the player system.
“You know I'm interested in you, right? ”
“Well... I guess I just assumed it was too obvious to observe. ”
“Klael, so is that. So when do you think I did it? ”
“Well, wasn't it when you caught the monster in the middle with me? I spoke to the knight for the first time. ”
Ever since I caught the old knight and the monster, I've been doing this every time I break through the center strangely. Thanks to you, I was able to get along like this.
“No.”
“Huh? When...? ”
“From the very beginning. Since the day you first came to the Seventh Special Forces. ”
“ ……. ”
I felt goosebumps all over me like I met an undead monster in the middle of the night. If that's true, then the old knight is a real piece of work.
“Klob, don't be so mean. It's just, I can't see well compared to my age. ”
“Well, I see. ”
Apart from accepting, I took a step back next to the old knight. So you can always run away.
“Huge! Do you think you have the gift of the sword? ”
“Yes, of course. ”
I immediately answered the old knight's question without hesitation.
‘There's no reason to be modest now. ’
I've been asked similar questions before
Now my answer was the same, but the difference was half jokes at the time, but now they're 100% serious.
Unlike in the early Awakenings, I am very well aware of how unreasonable my swordsmanship skills were acquired by the player system.
This is literally a gift. It's just that if you're different from normal talent, you're not born with it.
“Klael, I see. Then how talented do you think you are? There are many levels of talent. ”
‘Class... ’
A problem I've never thought about.
I don't know what to say because I got my gift from the Awakening in the first place.
“Personally, I think you have a knack for talking about guards. ”
“Guardian? Are you referring... to the Guardian, the Master of Orders? ”
“I see.”
I felt overwhelmed by a compliment that was too much to bear.
A masterclass talent for error. I think it's the best compliment I can give the prosecutor.
Of course, as long as the player system exists, I am confident that I can become like them one day. But this has always been my personal thought. It's a good story to be ridiculed if you tell others.
“…… Why? I haven't been compared to the knights for a long time. ”
‘Distribution of spare stats will tell a different story. ’
“Klael, how would you compare yourself to someone who has learned swords expertly since childhood? ”
“That's true.... ”
“And you've been holding a sword for less than a month now. That tells me you're one of the geniuses. ”
“Oh, thank you. ”
‘…… Why do I praise you so much? ’
It was good until the first compliment, but I felt a little uneasy as the compliment continued.
Kaiyan, remember, there are no compliments in the world. If your opponent keeps giving you compliments, you have something you want.
What Jeff told me.
If that's true, the reason the old knight is doing it is because there's something I want, but I have no idea what it is.
What does a pretty high-ranking knight want with me?
“But!”
The old knight who was walking ahead stopped and looked me straight in the eye.
“You need proper learning to unlock your talents. If you let it go, you'll just be that good. Do you understand what I'm saying? ”
‘So this is it.’
When I said I wanted to call him out separately, he called me to offer me a job.
“Well, I don't think it's a bad idea to just live like this. ”
“Hmmm! I'll be honest. I want to recruit you as a knight because I want your talent. The Knights of the Cheniavin family. What do you think?”
I tried to block the offer in advance, but the old knight gives me his thoughts. As expected, he wants a story.
“... I really appreciate the offer, but as I said before, I intend to be a mercenary. ”
My answer, of course, is no.
The necessary error techniques and swordsmanship have already been obtained, and the player system can continue to improve on its own. To me, being a knight now is just to slow down the progress.
“Hmm... You don't seem to know much about knights, but if you become a knight, your identity will go up. ”
‘No, I mean no. ’
“I'm well aware. What's an ascension? But... My dream now is not to be a knight, but a mercenary. ”
Increases identity, a little coveted. Better than slavery, but common identity is limited. However, it is not coveted enough to give up growth.
Moreover, if you grow up to become a master and come here, you can easily get a rise in status, but there is no reason to attract knights who are not nobles.
“That's not all. This is your chance to learn advanced swordsmanship and orchestration. If you're a prosecutor, you're a very desirable proposition. ”
Unfortunately, not at all coveted.
Even though I won't be tempted by the craftsmanship technique that the nobles and nobles possess, I can't believe knights only offer craftsmanship to learn.
“I'm sorry. Maybe later, but I'm not ready for that right now. ”
“Is that so? Phew... I see. Even if it's a good offer for you, I can't force you. Let me know if you change your mind. ”
The old knight turns back to see if he has nothing more to say.
“Phew, that was close. Should I call this a good thing...? ”
The man who offered me the job was an old knight.
If it was another nobleman or knight, I don't know how I would have gotten out when I refused.
They can simply kill a few civilians to protect their pride.
‘But now I've come too far to hide my skills. ’
The old knight suggested that other nobles and knights might have the same idea.
You've achieved more than your goal for today, so you can hide your skills and relax for the rest of the war. No longer visible to others.
But Tarien and the Knights have no answer. They are the ones who watched my work right next to me.
‘Tarien is the problem. What if he makes an offer on a knight? ’
Of course, the answer is set. Definitely decline.
But there's a situation in Tarien where you can't predict what you'll do if you refuse.
We need another option. An alternative I can safely refuse.

Player Awakening Day 11.
“I thought you weren't coming. ”
“I see. ”
In the afternoon, monsters in the air rush into the fortress, unlike they expected.
Unlike yesterday, the number of monsters decreased a lot.
Phew! Phew!
The war trumpet sounded in Panybull Fortress and announced the start of a full-scale battle.
“Let's kill monsters! Let's kill him!”
“Kill them all! ”
“Waaaahhhh!”
The morale of the Panybull soldiers is so high that yesterday's battle can no longer raise them. You shout for a split throat and point your bow at the monster.
“I'm surprised. I can't believe they're coming back. ”
“That's the thing about monster waves. ”
Me and the guys were looking at the monsters from the temporary overhang instead of the broken overhang, and they tried to descend from high above screaming that they forgot to fight yesterday.
‘Well, it's a good thing we have to catch the Harpy Queen. ’
1000G harpy queen. I can say with confidence that I've accomplished everything I could in Panybelrun. Even if it wasn't, I wanted to catch it for Panybelloon in the future.
‘Status window.’
A status window has been recalled to double check your stats prior to the start of the battle.
Status Window
Name: Kaiyan/Age: 15 years old/Job: Player/Title: Guardian of the Sky
Level: 50/Power: 62/Agility: 35/Health: 27/Intelligence: 10/Distribution: 0
A crazy stat that rises to the point where your mouth will open.
There are 50 levels. Even after the fall, monsters were able to achieve it because they had been leveled up several times while dying by soldiers.
You open the status window to distribute your stats yesterday and smile like a madman for 10 minutes. The only thing I had to do was to have 56 free distribution stats, not 5.6, 56 words.
‘It made me twice, no, three times stronger. ’
Kuaaaaak
As I squeezed my fist tightly, I felt the power that would burst right away all over my body.
With a fist swing, I feel confident that a small monster can be caught lightly, even if it is a large monster.
Power 62 is a force that truly transcends man. That's at least five, six times stronger than a normal adult male.
‘Do not use skills and items unless it is a real emergency. ’
It's good that your stats exploded, but you have an unexpected problem.
It's hard to control your body right away.
This was an unexpected problem because its stats have never increased so explosively.
When I wore an item, I had a bit of a similar experience, but it was definitely not like this then.
‘But what happens if you use skills here? Hmm... That's crazy. ’
“Huh! They're bringing something weird back! Commander! What are those Harpies carrying? ”
At that time, the soldier in charge of the Observer's role noticed the monsters' strange spots and reported the incident to the twelfth point commander in a hurry.
“Really? Did you bring Griffin's egg again? ”
“It's... it's a long way. I'm not sure yet. ”
Are you trying to change the number to Griffin? ’
When I listened to the soldiers and looked at the sky carefully, I could see what they were holding because of their high agility. It was a black mass with only a human head.
“Oh! I'm shaking! ”
Clavicular fluid
Some Harpies came down and threw a black chunk at the ground.
The strange thing is that they were thrown to the ground, not at the point where the soldiers were guarding them.
It won't do much damage to that spot, whether it's Griffin's egg or someone else's.
‘There's no way the Harpy Queen wouldn't know... Hmm? They're coming back up, aren't they? ’
Those Harpies hurling black clubs at the ground were flapping their wings and climbing back into the air. Even though the other airborne monsters are heading towards the point.
Clavicular fluid
Even before answering the question, the black mass drops to the ground at a reasonably heavy rate compared to its size.
At this rate, we'll hit the ground with hundreds of meters at once.
‘… huh? It's dangerous! "
Immediately before the black mass hit the ground, the sensation of danger shook like crazy. I've never reacted like this to a large monster before, but it's hard to imagine how dangerous it is.
‘If you do wrong, you will die...' ’
I've never been wrong about danger before.
“Well, yeah. Perhaps you should aim for it tomorrow. ”
“Deputy! You said he comes down once a day! The deputy said so!”
The owner of the voice was Tarien. He was scolding the deputy with a nervous voice. That doesn't mean the Harpy Queen is coming back.
“Tsk, tsk.”
