118 – Advance of the Hero
It has only been 4 months since I entered high school.
Lee Chae-eun, who was still only a freshman in high school, thought that she was having a fulfilling school life.
I have many friends who have been with me since middle school, and my scores on the first midterm exam are in the top tier.
He was confident that his athletic ability was not bad and that, despite what he said, his appearance was not inferior. She
She And She Not long ago, she was a popular guy at school who was popular among the girls at school, and her personality was good and her athleticism was outstanding. She also received a confession from Yoo Si-hyeon.
… Well, she honestly confessed and she gave a light OK, but she didn’t have very serious feelings.
In the first place, more than half of her relationships during school were like this, and she was someone she never talked to much.
As she gets to know each other, if she feels like she’s a good match, she can think about it seriously from then on.
However, Yoo Si-hyeon had a childhood friend named Seo-e-ri, and she was a little annoyed by that woman’s bickering over everything.
After all, since she started dating Yoo Si-hyeon, she has talked more with Seo Eri than with Yoo Si-hyeon.
So, that day too, Yoo Si-hyeon joined her to walk to school with her.
And she was going to school arguing with Eri, who had followed the vision.
Eri began to argue again with Chae-eun, and Si-hyeon, who was ahead of them while trying to stop them, suddenly stood tall with a surprised expression.
“What does this mean?”
“Sihyeon, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
As Sihyeon looked at the sky and started muttering something, Eri said with a puzzled expression.
“Can’t you two hear anything?”
“I can hear it, what on earth is that…”
That day, when Chae-eun was answering like that, she heard a voice in her ears… No, she heard a voice that seemed to convey her will directly.
Si-hyeon shows off his sense of justice by going to a dead place.
Eri steps forward without thinking, saying that she will follow the vision unconditionally.
Even though Chae-eun understood the situation and knew everything, she couldn’t decide to send just those two away.
Chae-eun later regretted that she should not have worried about those two for no reason.
For the summoned warriors, ‘education’ was provided immediately.
Expedited training by the best talents prepared by the empire to reveal each individual’s talents and match those talents.
Lee Chae-eun showed her talent for magic, and three magic tower lords joined her and taught her magic.
Not long after she started teaching, Chae-eun’s talent in using various types of magic made the magic tower owners stick their tongues at her.
It was even said that someday, she might be able to build a new magic tower.
Eri, who wields her divine power, was educated by Elihi, the head of the World Tree Church.
“I’m still not skilled at handling sacred power, but the sacred power within my body is enormous.”
Elhi, the leader of the cult, said that if she had not been a warrior, he would have appointed her as the next leader of the cult, but he was reluctant to say anything, saying that it was regrettable.
They were scheduled to be sent to the original world with a reward if they defeated the Demon King, so there was nothing they could do.
Yoo Si-hyeon was a little ambiguous.
Because he showed talent in so many things.
He was good at using a sword, and although not as good as Chae-eun, he was also good at using magic.
He also had divine power, so he used simple divine magic without any hesitation.
Considering his position, he was appointed as a knight commander of the Imperial Guard Knights and taught various weapons and martial arts.
Is this really the protection of a hero brought from another world?
What would take an average person a year to accomplish was achieved in just one season.
The knights, the magic tower owners, and even the religious leaders guaranteed that they would be able to perform well if they went to battle.
The emperor decided that it would be okay if they vouched for him, so he used another connection to end some of his anxiety.
Currently, a mercenary alliance that is selling itself to the fight against the Demon King’s army.
The mercenary union requested the highest-ranking, platinum-ranked mercenary with rich experience and skills.
The Mercenary Alliance, which already knew information about the warrior, readily accepted the offer.
“He is a mercenary who will guide and protect you.”
The person dispatched by the Mercenary Alliance was a middle-aged man who appeared to be over forty.
He looked at the rumored warriors and said with a slight frown.
“Your Majesty, aren’t they still children? Is it really okay to take these children with you?”
“Their skills are clear. They are children who came from another world and received divine protection.”
“Umm…”
In fact, the mercenary had no choice but to nod his head after seeing the children’s skills before his eyes.
No matter how bad I was, I had the skills needed to easily pass the Silver rank and Gold rank.
This was an achievement achieved by children who had not trained at all in less than half a year, so it was a situation where he had nothing to say.
“What they lack is experience. I would like you to guide these children until they gain that experience.”
“Uhm… I understand.”
Veteran mercenary, Platinum rank mercenary Ogma smiled bitterly.
… The reason why Ogma, who had a lot of money to live on even though he did not participate in the war in the first place, participated in this war was because his family was killed by the demon invasion while he was away from his hometown on work.
Oh Gma was bitter about not being able to protect his wife, Rang, and their two daughters.
I couldn’t help but feel that it was a burden for Ogma to have to send children who looked as old as his children to the battlefield.
But these kids had skills.
Then, until these children can stand on their own.
Oghmar told himself to himself that he should not miss the opportunity to protect these children like his own family.
Under the guidance of the mercenary Oghma, they participated in the battlefield in earnest.
Of course, like the warriors in heroic stories, they do not just sweep the battlefield among themselves.
Together with the soldiers fighting on the battlefield, we fight against monsters.
Sweeping the battlefield among the soldiers and playing an active part in raising their morale.
That was the mission given to the warriors.
“Ha!”
A vision of swinging a sword at a huge monster in front of oneself and decapitating it.
The monster’s head flies off, and its massive body slowly falls to the ground.
Seeing that, the soldiers cheered and gained momentum, so they attacked the monster.
“hehehe…!”

As Sihyeon grinned and caught his breath, looking at the monster that had fallen in front of his own sword, Ohgma’s angry voice was heard.
“Don’t let down your guard! We’re still in the middle of the battlefield! Zion!!”
Ogma raised his shield and blocked the arrows coming at Sihyeon.
Si-hyeon, whose complexion worsened at the thought of almost getting hit by an arrow, nodded his head.
“Sorry… I’m sorry! Mr. Ogma!”
“If you have time to apologize, get ready quickly! The monster is coming again!! Chainy! Take cover!”
“Yes!!”
“Eri! Take the wounded and fall back!”
“Ah…I understand!”
Zion and Cheyney were slightly renamed to accommodate people in this world who have difficulty pronouncing their names.
Eri’s name did not change much and she was still called Eri, but the pronunciation was slightly different.
“Again…And just as much…”
Seeing the sight of monsters flocking across the horizon again, Sihyeon trailed off.
“Look carefully. Those are monsters.”
At Oghma’s words, the only sound that could be heard was the three people swallowing.
The first battlefield in which the warriors participated has come to an end.
The result was a great victory.
This was thanks to not only the warriors but also the soldiers who were inspired by their performance and fought with all their might.
Of course, the casualties were not low, but compared to the battles that had taken place so far, it could truly be said to be a great victory among great victories.
“Is this what a hero is…”
After receiving the results, the emperor muttered:
Although his personal strength is outstanding, he is a being who gives courage to those around him.
If they were heroes, they did an outstanding job.
As this victory is spread, soldiers will be inspired by the performance in other battlefields.
Hope is beginning to appear.
However, the emperor was also worried.
They are warriors, but they are still children.
They experienced their first battlefield.
Are the kids really okay?
I just hoped that the mercenary Ogma would lead them well.
The emperor’s worries were correct.
Three people who experienced war for the first time.
They were able to feel the war for the first time as the intense battle ended and the tension eased.
The feeling of cutting down a monster with a weapon.
The burning smell of a monster burned by magic.
Dying allied soldiers and corpses rolling around.
Honestly, it was hard to bear.
“Wow!!”
Sihyeon fell down on the spot and retched.
…Though Oghma, who felt that the hero should not be seen like that, covered it with his body.
“……”
Eri said nothing and just shook his body.
“…You have to get used to it.”
At least, out of the three, Chae-eun was in a better situation.
Even before she came to this world, she had already made up her mind that it would be like this.
However, even though she was prepared, the situation was different when she experienced it herself.
Although she was better than the other two, Chae-eun was also desperate to calm her trembling body.
“Chaney is right. This battle is better.”
“…This…Is better?”
“If there is a victory, there is also a defeat. If the war had been lost, there would have been dozens of times more corpses rolling around.”
Eri’s expression became pale at Oghma’s words.
“…Mr. Ogma is right. Look, the soldiers are happy.”
The appearance of soldiers rejoicing at the great victory.
Even though the bodies of their comrades are rolling around on the floor, they are happy that they survived and that they are victorious.
“…We did it. And we must continue to do it.”
At Chae-eun’s words, the two people somehow managed to nod their heads.
Afterwards, following Ogma, the three participated in various battlefields.
And with the sound of victory, it gave hope to the Allied Forces.
And, the number of colleagues increased by one.
She was an elf beauty with beautiful golden hair.
She is an elf who is not only skilled in magic, but she is also called a ‘sage’ because she has vast knowledge.
She was also a tremendous figure, a high elf who sat in a significant position among the elves.
Her reason for recruiting her was simple.
The Allied forces were somehow pushing back the Demon King’s army.
As numerous monsters escaped to their territory, an opportunity for a counterattack came.
Now is the time for the warriors to advance and defeat the Demon King.
However, no matter how experienced and capable a veteran mercenary Ogma was, he had little detailed knowledge of the land of monsters.
Therefore, a person with knowledge of the land was needed.
A person who has knowledge and the ability to protect himself.
While looking for such a person, I met this high elf sage.
Si-hyeon sees an incredibly beautiful elf of a type he has never seen before.
“You…Really, you’re a beauty.”
Even Si-hyeon, who already has a girlfriend, unconsciously gave her such compliments.
Then the high elf smiled.
“Oh my, thank you. I didn’t expect to be praised by a child as old as my child.”
“Now…Your age?”
“Yes, even though she is like this, she is a woman who is married and has children.”
Seeing Sihyeon looking shocked and astonished, Ogma clicked his tongue and spoke from behind.
“It is rare for an elf to be the same age as they appear. Please remember this.”
“Yes…Yes…”
After welcoming the high elf sage, Leivinia, as a member, they quietly set foot on the land of monsters with a small group of people.
Their journey to slit the devil’s head.
Thanks to Leivinia’s knowledge, they were gradually advancing towards the Demon King while avoiding major threats.
Their journey of coming to this world and growing up while experiencing war for three years seemed to be a smooth one.
However, something happens that becomes a major turning point in their journey.
…Oghma enveloped everyone and they lost their lives.
