Chubuck – Chubuck – Chubuck –
About 200 footsteps were moving towards the plain. Non-uniform weapons and clothing mean that the military strategy of this world view is at the level of the pre-Roman era. Some wear helmets, some wear armor, and some even carry shields.
Of course, all of this was set up by me. This is because I thought it would be easier to reveal the character’s personality if each person could freely use the equipment.
Contrary to the nuance of a battlefield, the landscape beyond the plains seemed secluded. The low ridges and forests and ponds located here and there spread out as if they were a place for picnics. The children said in a tone that they were nervous for nothing.
“The weather is nice.”
“Where are you guys going?”
“I heard we canoe along the river.”
“OMG. It’s a complete boat game.”
“What about you?”
“I hear we walk all day?”
“Kick. This is why the army has to line up well. Pretend you’re taking a walk.”
Since it was still in the early stages of the march, the movements of different groups sometimes overlapped. And Hansoo, the leader of our group, walked heavily armed and said to a member of the group.
“… You will regret it.”
“… yes?”
“What are you doing? I brought all my arrogance.”
Wearing a half plate, a spear, and even a tower shield, the boy quietly dismissed Hansoo’s concerns.
“My father said that armed means the life of a soldier. I have good stamina, so I am confident that I can walk for hours if the weather supports me like this.”
“Ah, so that’s it.”
“… What?”
“Your father never told you about the weather here.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s hot. I am strong against heat or cold.”
The boy glanced at Adrin at the end of his last words. Well. It’s a line that I can feel the intention as a man like him.
Adrine was showing off her best looks among the members of the group here, and then several heavily armed children also added a word about their physical strength and mental strength.
how to say
I think men are very simple creatures. If I were to bet, I would bet on Hansoo’s horse. I have no doubt that some of these will throw away their vestiges before returning.
Event, [First March].
The purpose of this three-day event is to identify the enemies of the Empire to the player.
“I really regret it… You’ll be passing by on your way back anyway, so why don’t you put down your shield and go?”
“A man’s armament is his life. Where is the man who lays down his life?”
“I will regret it… .”
And then a girl said.
“uh? what?”
“yes? what?”
“Over there… .”
The child’s finger was pointing to the sky. I looked up, looked at what she pointed at, and took a breath.
‘It’s started.’
swaying down from the sky. The ill-timed drop spread surprise from mouth to mouth among children.
“Eh? Is this a joke?”
“Does that make sense? Now, is it April?”
Only me and Hansu would have known about this situation. And if there’s one more, it’s Adrine, whom I tipped off.
However, Adrin said to me as if she couldn’t believe it even after seeing it.
“really… It is as John said.”
I just shrugged.
Under the sky of late spring, pure white snow began to fall.
***
The group divided in the march is not a unit of command, but a unit of action. Each group in two lines diverged in direction at some point, and it had been a long time since John and Adrin’s group had become distant from the other groups.
“Looks like it’s been a few years.”
At Adrine’s words, John shrugged. Perhaps she wasn’t just talking about the length of the march. It was because during the four hours of walking, the things that fell from the sky were colorful.
Let alone 4 hours, things that are difficult to pour in one season came down by type. Heavy rain, frost, and heavy snow fell twice each, and thunder struck once under the clouds that briefly gathered, and now the sun is shining like crazy again.

No wonder the sense of the season feels ignored. The floor they walked on had long since changed from mud to sand.
Sand whizzing in their shoes made students feel like walking barefoot.
“The weather, why are you so damn right?”
“What is it? It was a witch’s curse.”
“If you talk about me with them, you will lose your energy.”
The last words were the captain’s words. A way of speaking that bothers everything and a southwestern dialect that naturally permeates.
His rank is First Class.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and murmured softly.
“This guy’s life as a military man, he has to pay off his debts quickly and get settled… .”
The team leader, Hansoo, seemed blunt. However, he continued to babble and take care of the crew.
“Neg belt strap, tie it tightly. The water bottle goes out.”
Commonly called ‘time’ experience comes from these trivial things. From how to hold a raincoat in case of changeable weather, to how to wear a coat more comfortably.
The luck of the same team members did not stop at having a good leader. John often whispered to Adrin as he walked. Adrin conveyed to the people what John had said.
“Everyone, don’t quench your thirst with water and chew the Heeyang seed grass we shared.”
“that is… What is it?”
“It’s a grass that prevents the witch’s curse.”
Of course, it was a lie made up by John.
The grass I bought from Frantimo’s market was exactly the grass with the proper salt. Adequate salt intake can prevent soldiers from collapsing while marching.
A pair of socks, a hat to cover the sun, and even a handkerchief protruded from John’s backpack. Adrine would be surprised if she saw John’s backpack like that. In fact, his backpack was empty.
Instead, Yohan placed the [Inventory] window in his backpack.
You don’t have to worry about the weight, so it can be said that the supply is ample. He brought various medicines as well as auxiliary tools.
He used to deliver water or snacks through Adrin, and as Han intended, the children started to like Adrin.
“Thank you, Adrine. You have the same mind and appearance.”
Satisfied.
All of these things were the cornerstones for raising Adrine to be the leader of the first years, that is, the head of the school year.
Of course, the crush also grows in other directions.
“Miss Adrine. Well, by any chance, after the march is over… .”
“mind. Go back and hit the claw.”
Adrine thanked the captain inwardly. Adrin smiled faintly at the boy who was able to think of working even during this grueling march.
And after six hours of marching, John was confronted with his limits. Unlike others, the weight of the accessories was light due to the expedient method through the [Inventory], but the aftereffects of the clock tower were not yet gone.
He was not overconfident, and he was aware that mental power was just as sharp as physical power. If you go on like this, you will surely end up collapsing in no time.
Of course, there was a law of destruction.
He pointed to the blonde girl again.
“Adrine.”
“Yes, John.”
“Maybe I won’t talk for a while.”
“yes? why?”
“I just want to focus on walking… . So, if you ever arrive at your destination or fall into an unexpected situation, please hit me hard on the back of the head.”
Adrine couldn’t understand the connection between focusing on walking and having to hit her in the back. But it didn’t seem like a difficult request, so I nodded my head.
“I don’t know what it is, but I know. Don’t blame me for getting a tingling sensation in the back of my head later.”
“It scares me a little when you say that. … Captain?”
“Wow.”
“How far is it until today’s march?”
Captain Hansoo said after estimating the direction of the clock tower.
“About two and a half hours?”
“All right.”
After his brief words, Yohan looked at his status window. There, Johan Espertz’s stats were listed.
[Name: Johan Esperts]
[Class Rating: Main Character]
[Strength: 2, Agility 3, Sense 7, Health 5, Charisma 4, Wisdom 8]
Have you become sensitive?
I felt a sense of incongruity at the moment and looked at the stats again and again. Nothing strange.
[Special skill]
[Swordsmanship 2Lv: This is the level at which you have learned the basics of the sword.]
[Archery 4Lv: Sniping is possible without penalty even on shaky ground or on horseback.]
This is why Johann Esperts has low combat stats in the early stages.
The Espertz family is a hunting family, so John’s main weapon was a bow, not a sword. If it wasn’t for the [Mulkan’s Sword] now filling his side, the idea of filling Sabaki’s void would not have been possible in the first place.
The status window continued after that.
[Smell of Death 4Lv (Espertz Family Secret): You can read the living things around you and interpret them linearly to trace their origin. A correctly read life itself provides information beyond sight.]
And behind my status window, the information obtained through [Replication] is also added.
[This character has multiple classes through ‘another original’.]
[Name: John Jeong]
[Class: Developer]
[Class level: demi-god]
[Class overview: As one person involved in the creation of this world, you can read or modify things that are destined.]
[Special Skill: Secret Code]
[Available points: 1 (a certain amount is given each time the event starts.]
Yohan read the explanations written in the secret code again. Among the many texts, there was one item that I had marked in advance the day before.
[Auto Skip: You can skip without recognizing what is destined… .]
The word ‘destiny’ written in this [developer] class has not yet been accurately interpreted. So Yohan assumed that this was an ‘essential event’.
And what John knows is that on the first day of the march there is not much fighting going on.
John could easily recall a map of this place. In fact, it’s not even a complicated shape.
After drawing a schematic of a butterfly, the torso is where Frantimo is located. And this plain where monsters roam corresponds to the right wing. It is also the direction in which we are marching.
The reason why monsters do not move within a day’s march distance is because the Imperial Army has been pushing the frontlines while subduing monsters like tenacity.
John read the description of ‘Jeong John’ over and over again.
[Class overview: As one person involved in the creation of this world, you can read or modify things that are destined.]
It is unknown if the ‘fate’ written on the [Status window] matches the word ‘event’. But no matter what, you can’t get used to it without experiencing it.
John lowered his head and murmured softly.
I hope this unknown skill is as described.
“Secret code, redemption of points. [Auto Skip].”
Then a system message popped up.
[Use ‘Auto Skip’ by consuming your points.]
With that message, John’s awareness was cut off.
