Chapter 35  

Chapter 35   . The Inexperienced Genius, and the United BodyThere was nothing particularly special about the next morning . magic

As usual, Team Slayers ate breakfast as soon as dawn came, then Podorski did an informal roll call to check on the health of the adventurers .

The results were good health . They were good to start their day .

An hour before departure, Kang Chul-In and Dorian moved to a secluded location .

One could say that it was a type of private tutoring .

In order to solidify their relationship, Kang Chul-In decided to teach Dorian 1 on 1 . It was an act to keep Dorian away from the bastard Rothschild once Ragnarok came .

Dorian was a man that showed loyalty to those that showed him favor . If Kang Chul-In was to help him grow quickly, at the least, they would not become enemies .

“Sigh……This doesn’t seem to be working out too well?”

Having blossomed a deep blue flame on to his hand, Dorian suddenly furrowed his brows . With the sound of a ‘bang!’, the flame disappeared .

“You’re struggling with something so easy . ”

Kang Chul-In’s mouth made a tiny smirk as he teased Dorian .

“Such an easy thing… . . ”

As he spoke such words, a flame bigger than the one that Dorian had created appeared on Kang Chul-In’s hand .

It was the skill Mana Fire .

It was a skill that wasn’t particularly special .

Mana Fire utilized the root of mana for all supernatural powers to create the flame . And, although it was just the spirit of the natural laws, it was a skill that wasn’t known to the adventurers . To put it simply, it was the most basic of basic skills .

“You can’t even do an easy thing like this . How incompetent . ”

Kang Chul-In made fun of Dorian as he proceeded to teach him the basic skill .

“Shit!”

Dorian exploded .

“Why, why isn’t it working!”

Dorian suddenly created the flame, but it did not last long . It would last for about 20-30 seconds and disappear . Compared to Kang Chul-In who had had his flame going for over 5 minutes, it was a drop of water in the middle of an ocean .

“Who knows . ”

Kang Chul-In smiled .

“You… . you you……Are you pitying me?”

“What pity? I have no pity for an incompetent person . ”

“Crack!”

The angry Dorian clenched his teeth .

“Ah… . Why, why isn’t it working? Why?”

It was normal for him to be angry .

They were both sovereigns, at the same levels, using the same skill, yet Kang Chul-In’s was like an active volcano while Dorian’s was nothing more than a match flame . Being on equal terms, it was normal for Dorian to get angry when he’s trying so hard .

“Chet, nothing is coming out of me teaching you . ”

Kang Chul-In shook his head .

“Th, there’s no point in teach me? But, isn’t this considered to be good?”

“Go somewhere else if you want to hear compliments . ”

“……”

“If you think that everything is going to work out just because you’re trying, than there would be no such things as failure in this world . ”

“Th, that’s true . ”

“Find the cause . Your skills won’t get any better if you’re not fixing the fundamental problem . ”

“I’m telling you that I don’t know what that is!”

“If you don’t know, then you will stay as an incompetent person . ”“Wh, what?!”

“That’s the way this world works . ”

“… . . !”

Kang Chul-In continued to admonish the depressed Dorian .

‘He seems to be quite angry . ’

Keeping to himself that he was quite happy .

‘No matter how talented you are, it’s still too much for you . ’

Although Dorian’s learning abilities were quick, it would take some time for him to catch a clue . At the least 2 months? It was impossible for him to create an intact Mana Fire before then . However…… . .

‘If I give him the answer, it would be different . ’

He may understand at a moment’s notice .

Kang Chul-In was also a talented individual, and knew how to use Mana Fire like the back of his hand, so he knew exactly how he was to guide Dorian .

“It’s because your head is too stupid . ”

Kang Chul-In spoke .

“Head? Mine?”

Dorian was surprised .

“How? I’m not stupid……”

Saying that he wasn’t stupid when he was stupid made Kang Chul-In laugh, but he decided not to react to those words . Although Dorian had slow senses and was clumsy, he was definitely at the top when it came to utilizing mana, compared to the 300,000 people that had crossed over to this world .

“Close your mouth and listen . ”

“… . Yes, sir . ”

“I’m not sure if it’s because you’ve spent a lot of your time in the military, but your head has gotten a bit dull . Although you might be good at following orders and doing as you’re told…… . You probably don’t know where those orders came from, and why those orders were being given . It may have also just been a waste of time to be questioning the orders that were given to you . ”

“Is, is that so?”

“From what I can see……although you don’t want to admit it, you are extremely smart when it comes to specific fields . Only, you’re unable to apply everything because of how dull your head has gotten . ”

“Mmmm……so, what’s your point?”

“The reason why you’re not able to properly command your Mana Fire . ”

“……!”

At Kang Chul-In’s words, Dorian’s eyes grew wide . Smack-!

Dorian had hit the Orc in its chin…… .

Swoosh!

Quickly turning his body, he threw out his elbow .

Baam!

With a dull sound, the Orc fell to the ground whilst vomiting . Surprisingly, Dorian could take down his opponent with his bare hands .

“Sigh!”

Having just finished a fight, Dorian took a deep breath .

“Wow, Dorian’s getting stronger?”

“How was he able to take down an Orc with his bare hands?”

“That, what is that blue thing that’s wrapped around his hands?”

Seeing the rapid growth within Dorian, many surprised adventurers were speaking amongst themselves .

‘Kang Chul-In is much stronger than this…… . how exactly did he become so strong?’

Dorian was not fazed by the attention he was getting from the adventurers .

The only thing running in his mind was his curiosity towards Kang Chul-In’s strength, and the strong desire of wanting to reach that same level . Kang Chul-In had no way of knowing that he had become a god within Dorian’s mind .

‘He’s quick, but he’s too hasty . ’

On the other side, Kang Chul-In was very cold with his evaluation of Dorian .

‘I’m sure you want to hurry and get stronger . However, there are steps for everything, Dorian . ’

Kang Chul-In could see Dorian’s psychological state like a ghost .

‘The you right now is too hasty . No matter how much of a genius you are, you’re going to end up paying dearly for it if you rush things . ’

He even knew how much of a dangerous state Dorian was currently in .

The period where it’s most dangerous for anyone . That was the situation Dorian was currently in . It was a situation where, with the slightest mistake, one could be filled with rage acting with haste .

And, Kang Chul-In’s worries did not go long as it became a reality right in front of his eyes .

hour later .

It happened when Team Slayers was on their way back to Base Camp after a tough fight with an Orc .

Crack-!!!!!

As a gigantic tree fell to the ground, a huge greenish gray giant appeared and blocked their path . It was a distance of about 150 meters .

Roar!!!

The loud roar was like thunder as it shook the entire forest .

“……!”

“……!”

With the sudden appearance of a giant, the adventurers were frozen with fear .

“Leader! Let’s hurry and retreat!”

Lucia yelled out .

“It’s dangerous!”

Podorski also urgently yelled .

It was because they knew the identity of the monster .

‘It’s still a young… . . ’

Just like Lucia and Podorski, Kang Chul-In was also able to tell the identity of the monster with a quick look .

‘Ogre . ’

It was a level 35 Ogre that was often known as the king of the forest .

“Lucia, Podorski! To the front!”

Kang Chul-In yelled out .

“Yes, General!”

“On my way!”

Having received orders, Lucia and Podorski rushed out like lightning .

‘This, might be dangerous . ’

A fully-grown Ogre was about 5m tall, however, the Ogre that had just appeared was only about 3 . 5m .

Yet, it was still dangerous .

Even if the Ogre is considered to be young, it was still dangerous for the current adventurers, and with the slight mistake, they may be unable to escape total annihilation .

Rooooaaarrrrr!!!!

With a loud roar, the Ogre began to rush towards them .

“Parvis, equip the parvis!”

Kang Chul-In issued his orders .

The 5 parvis shields that were given to the adventurers were about 8 kg in weight, and were used to ram into the ground as obstacles .

“Swords, to the front! Spear, parvis to the back!”

With Kang Chul-In’s orders, the adventurers quickly moved . They knew that the only person they could believe in at this moment was Kang Chul-In .

It was at that moment .

“Mister Dorian!”

Lucia yelled out .

“That crazy bastard . ”

A vein popped up on Kang Chul-In’s forehead .

Dorian Explorer was the first to rush out, and was trying to fight against the Ogre head on .

Being able to take down an Orc with bare hands, he must have thought that the Ogre was easy game . Even if he’s able to use Mana Fire, the Ogre was currently way out of his league .

The desire to become strong, it was the outcome of a hasty heart .

Smack!

Kang Chul-In kicked the white horse in the ribs .

Neiiggghhhhh!!!!

The horse began to gallop forward .

‘I can’t leave you to die like this . ’

Dorian was an indispensable human resource that had to be fully used . There was no way that Kang Chul-in was going to leave him to die a dog’s death . The unified body was attempting to correct the mistakes of the immature genius .
