I Regressed To My Ruined Family Chapter 123
#After returning, the family was ruined (124)
If Dorothy was engaged in a bloody fight with the swarming monsters, Leon and Zeros were different.
Inside a large cave.
The two people were looking inside the cave, smiling warmly.
“It’s really spacious inside. As expected, it seems that no one can match Master Mago’s keen insight.”
“If Changseong hadn’t killed the cave bear with a lightning-like spear, how would we have been able to come in so easily? Today, Zeros, I opened my eyes again.”
“I’m talking about opening eyes. “It is truly a shameful skill.”
“haha! If Changseong is ashamed of his own skills, who in this world would walk around with his head held high? “Perhaps no one but that monstrous Duke can be proud.”
The atmosphere couldn’t be more heartwarming.
We painted each other’s faces with gold and looked into the cave for a while.
The moment Zeros clicked his fingers, all the dust, including the moss that had accumulated in the cave, began to come out.
The fire was started in an instant.
Leon’s eyes lit up at that sight.
‘also.’
His judgment in moving with the wizard was not wrong.
If he had moved alone, it would have been difficult to immediately rekindle the fire.
Good luck!
Bear meat began to be roasted over a roaring bonfire.
Leon, who was looking at the bonfire, looked at Zeros.
“Anyway, how on earth is the duke trying to determine rank? They say that penalty points and bonus points will be determined for each action… I’m not sure about the standards.”
“Hmm… if I were to give you my weakest opinion, I think the standard would be related to ‘survival.’”
“Survival?”
“yes. Since we said we are starting a survival training and ranking test… I think it is likely that more points will be given to actions that are more important to survival, and more points will be given to unfavorable actions.”
“Hmm. “What are some examples?”
“Isera and Miss Dorothy. And even Mileton Confucius. The three chose to pursue individual activities. Common sense suggests that it would be very difficult to survive alone in such a harsh environment. Even if it is a late index of 7th Street.”
Leon nodded.
He himself had already experienced many benefits from traveling with Zeros.
“Of course… in the case of Miss Ysera, she can handle all four major spirits, so there would be no problem if she moved alone…”
Mileton and Dorothy were different.
Dorothy was raised with the family’s golden jade leaves. And even Mileton, who was selected as the next head of Lacian.
How much do two people like that know about how to survive in the mountains?
Although they may be well-versed in the tricks of rising, there is a high possibility that they do not know how to actually start a fire.
‘Right now, I’m the only one who doesn’t know.’
Even Leon only knew that when flint is struck, sparks fly out.
Zeros nodded.
“you’re right. The rest of us will definitely have problems. On the other hand, we practiced the most necessary actions for ‘survival’. It is ‘cooperation’. This will definitely get extra points.”
The corners of Leon’s mouth slowly rose at the persuasive story.
He and Zeros were the people who benefited the most from the last ranking match.
‘In a situation where the middle or lower tier was the best.’
Mileton collapsed, leaving Leon in second place and Zeros in third place.
Their main family was secretly concerned about the ranking of the rankings.
The fact that we beat that milestone and came in second place was so great that the head of the family personally handed us a letter containing praise.
‘If he ranks high in this ranking match once again…’
His status in the family would definitely be raised. It was said that it was located at the top among the 7 late-stage indices.
“also. “It seems that Master Mago’s wisdom is beyond my reach.”
“haha. no. I can’t believe he listened to Soin’s weak guess… I couldn’t help but admire Changseong’s humility again. ah! The bear meat is cooked. “Please eat it.”
The meal continued in a warm atmosphere, and soon after, the two began holding a strategy meeting.
“We gained additional points through cooperation, but shouldn’t we further strengthen our foundation to be at the top of the rankings?”
“you’re right. Since we are the only ‘collaborators’, it is highly likely that the duke will check to see if our hands and feet work together.”
“Are you saying you will make sure the cooperation is going well?”
“you’re right. After all, two weeks is a long time and monster hunting will be an important factor in scoring. “You will mainly see how we coordinate our hands and feet to hunt.”
“Hmm… Then I guess we should try to get our hands and feet in sync with each other before we go hunting.”
“yes. I think it should be that way. “If we carry out this collaboration well, we will definitely enter the mid-tier or higher, even if we cannot.”
The two people’s eyes sparkled.
Two days have passed since we continued our cooperative training in the cave while eating bear meat.
“What can I really say….”
“Perfect…!”
Leon and Zeros looked at each other and admired each other.
As we clearly know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, unlike on the first day, we were able to truly work together and vaguely understand the secrets of Geun-Joong-Won.
The two fit together much better than expected.
Leon’s eyes lit up as he held the spear tightly.
“…Now I’m even afraid of our interaction.”
“you’re right. “Changseong and I definitely seem to have a connection that goes beyond just getting along well.”
“The sky is so indifferent. “I can’t believe you let me know about this kind of soul partner so late…”
At those words, Zeros raised his round glasses and his eyes sparkled.
“If you think about it differently, maybe we should be grateful that we can learn more about each other even now.”
“Ah… my thoughts were short. “Definitely… I guess I’m glad I found out about it now.”
“I am so grateful to the Duke who organized this special unit. Cook… Oh, I’m sorry. When I’m in a really good mood, I laugh like this…”
“No. How could you not laugh when you created such an elaborate succession list? “The only person who wouldn’t laugh in a situation like this would be a cold-blooded person like the Duke.”
“Hehe… With such a sharp joint attack, even if he were the master, he would never be able to look down on us.”
My heart was suddenly pounding.
So much so that they want to go on a hunt right now and show off to the duke to their heart’s content.
“Now we are ‘perfect.’”
“you’re right. Continuing our joint training any longer would just be a waste of our ocean-like talent. “I think it’s time to experience the real thing.”
“Let’s go.”
The two people came out of the cave in triumph and soon began hunting monsters.
“Ha!”
“Burning brilliant flame!”
With a perfect passing score, the monsters were falling helplessly one by one.
The two people smiled in remorse.
* * *
Zeros and Leon.
I wondered what on earth they did in the cave for two days.
It seemed like the two of them had been practicing together.
‘Hmm…’
It was clearly a very clumsy combination. The excessive use of force against monsters still hasn’t changed, and we aren’t particularly paying attention to each other’s safety.
Actually, it was natural.
How well would you be able to do it if you combined it with at most two days of training? However, the reason I didn’t immediately conclude that it was a mess is because there were parts that were vaguely good.
It felt like watching a child staggering and walking.
‘If I correct it a little more.’
For some reason, I feel like I can walk like a human at least a little bit. That was the moment when Ethan looked at the two with narrowed eyes.
The two people who had finished their first hunt were seen looking at each other and smiling warmly.
“As expected… Changseong’s protection seems to be flawless. Thanks to this, I was able to use magic without any worries. “I’m really impressed.”
“no. It seems that Master Mago’s magic is truly amazing. “If it weren’t for Confucius’ fire magic, how could we have ended the hunt so quickly?”
“I can’t believe it’s been like this since our first battle….”
“It’s to the point where I’m suddenly afraid of our talent. If the duke were watching us… he might be trembling right now as he looks at the great talent.”
Moment.
Zeros raised his round glasses, looked around, and whispered carefully to Leon.
“Suddenly I feel worried. This… seems too good to be excellent. “I think maybe even the duke might become jealous of us.”
“Hmm, definitely….”
When I see talent that I can’t handle, my heart boils over.
The hands and feet of the two were so tightly aligned that even the duke seemed unable to maintain his composure the moment he looked at them.
“Maybe it would be better to keep our joint attack hidden as a ‘secret weapon’…”
“Huh!”
Leon widened his eyes.
A huge tree behind.
Because a doll suddenly fell from that tree.
“Go… duke!”
“Huh?”
Duke of Ethan.
He suddenly appeared and was examining them with cold eyes, as if he were a poisonous snake looking at its prey.
‘…These guys are really great too.’
Spearman and Closet Wizard.
I’ve felt this before, but the more I look at these two, the more I feel my stomach boiling. It was impossible to just carry out the evaluation on the tree.
“What…what is it!”
Zeros shouted in astonishment.
He usually showed cold eyes, but now his eyes were so cold that it felt like they were on a completely different level.
Ethan’s new form, which was looking at the two bluntly, became blurred. The two shocked people immediately formed the successful team.
“Zeros! Haap!”
bang!
Leon’s spear blocked Ethan’s sword.
Either that or not.
Ethan continued to look at Zeros. Why did that cold-hearted duke lose his composure and rush towards them?
‘no way!’
“Maybe even the Duke will become jealous of us.”
‘…Are we afraid of our talents?’
Overwhelming talent.
It was clear that I was out of fear for him.
‘…Master Mago’s wisdom has reached heaven!’
As if it were a prophecy.
His words became reality.
As we thought our lives were at stake, it felt as if we were reading each other’s thoughts.
‘I will take care of your protection!’
‘Then I attack!’
Amid the terrifying sword attacks coming from all directions, the movements of the two people, which had been rough, slowly began to become more precise.
Every time the Duke attacked, Leon threw his body to block the attack, and Zeros was using all kinds of attack magic to protect Leon.
‘It’s much softer than before!’
‘With this, I might be able to defeat even that duke…!’
The eyes of both people sparkled.
Their hands and feet were touching each other as if they were partners made by heaven.
All kinds of tricks spewed out from the hands of the two people. These were all techniques learned from the duke.
‘It’s much more usable than before.’
also.
People grow quickly when they feel a sense of crisis.
Hapgong, which had seemed somewhat bizarre, was now slowly becoming smooth enough to be evaluated as usable. Ethan said after clashing swords for a while.
“stop.”
“…?”
“Spearman.”
“It’s not the spearman, it’s Leon, so how many times…!”
“He keeps trying to stab me, but if you’re going to move with that glasses guy, try to use defensive tricks like Ran (攔) and I (拿). And you, the glasses holder, should use wind-type magic instead of other elemental magic.”
“If it’s wind-type magic…”
said Ethan, who took the spear and held it up.
“Let’s shoot the wind.”
“….”
Zeros, who was silent, used wind magic.
“If you’re going to use stabbing, use it when the wind blows directly like this.”
Flash!
The duke, using his skills, looked at Zeros.
“This time, let’s bend the wind direction downward.”
“…You mean the wind direction?”
“okay.”
Soon, as the wind pressed down on the spear, Ethan began to take a defensive stance by pressing down on the spear.
“After stabbing like this, adjust the wind direction to utilize Ran and me.”
The reason for suggesting this joint method was simple.
This is because the spearman’s offensive was much stronger than the wizard’s offensive.
It was much more efficient for the spearman to handle the main offense and defense, and for the wizard to take on the auxiliary role.
Ethan, who immediately handed the spear to Leon, spoke.
“I will come see you when the exam is over. If you perform well in this way, I will give you a high score. Well, you guys still have the highest scores.”
If the glasses guy could control the wind direction well, their combined effort would be much more useful than before.
Soon after, the duke’s new form disappeared.
The two people looked at each other with blank eyes.
“…Hmm. It seems the duke appreciates our talents. “Isn’t the reason why we suddenly stopped attacking… because we clearly sensed our enormous potential?”
“It certainly seems like what Prince Mago said is correct.”
Even that cruel peacock is secretly admirable.
Both of their hearts were filled with pride. Wasn’t this a talent that impressed the Duke?
It was for that very reason that the teachings were given.
“…The duke used radical methods, but one lesson is unmistakable…”
“Yes. After listening to it, I thought that method would be a little more efficient. I think we need to practice joint attack in that way. If it’s our talent…”
Maybe we could have been placed in first and second place in this ranking match.
The two people’s eyes sparkled.
New passing list.
Now was the time to focus on that method.
