open space outside the pub.
Raon stood facing the yellow-eyed swordsman.

Not only the people at the tavern, but also the soldiers who had come with rumors gathered around the vacant lot, and there was even a gambling board.
“That guy is Turkaya from the Wolves Mercenary! Once they start fighting, they bite like wolves and don’t let go!”
“okay. There’s no need to rush into an argument! Let’s stop.”
The scout seniors were worried, but they shook their heads. A sacrifice that would enhance the achievement of the light sword came to me, but there was no reason to refuse.
“it’s okay. It’s because I have a personality that doesn’t shy away from fighting.”
Raon smiled confidently and moved forward.
– Damn it! There is also a saying that the color of demons that ate and died is good. All the food is cold!
‘I’ll do it again.’
– Hum, well, then.
Lars backed away saying the same thing, especially pizza. He was a demon king whose weight was as light as a feather.
“The 4th captain of the Wolves mercenary corps, Turkayo.”
“This is Laon.”
Turka was also polite to the young Raon. However, he could not hide the slight contempt in his eyes. It meant that he did not completely believe that he had cut six Sharkmal alone.
“I’ll try to feel how good the swordsmanship of slashing Sharkmal with one sword is.”
With those words, Turka slammed the ground and pulled out his sword. It slams down the dao it has set up as if it pierces the sky. It was an attack that took advantage of the thick and heavy sword.
However, the power, speed, and pitch all did not exceed the expected level.
Raon raised his lightsaber and struck the sword that fell like lightning.
blah blah!
Incontinence grew on the floor of the frozen vacant lot due to the impact of the sword and the sword imbued with Aurors.
“Are you blocked?”
Turka’s eyes bulged as if they were about to burst with their swords facing each other. I don’t think I’d ever thought of stopping it from the front without avoiding it.
“You told me.”
Raon smiled coolly as he pushed the heavy sword away with his thin sword.
“My sword will be fierce.”
“Wow!”
Turka’s sword was deflected to the right by a fierce sword attack that looked like a beast had raised its teeth. Without letting go of the gap, he extended his left fist.
Oops!
A fist that crushed the wind struck Turka’s right waist.
“Ouch!”
Turka fell to the ground with her back bent like a shrimp.
“Uh… .”
“Tu, Turka was beaten so easily?
“Is this guy going to be in the top ten of the Wolves mercenaries?”
“Can you hear the rock popping out of his fist?”
“How did you deflect the sword with that thin sword? It’s weird from that.”
Both the mercenaries and the onlookers were startled, so they looked at Raon and Turka alternately with puzzled faces.
“Did you deliberately hit me?”
Raon relaxed the sword over his shoulder.
“Okay… .”
Turka hit the road and stood up. Yellow eyes fluttered like a sailboat hit by the waves.
“You asked me to show you the sword. I haven’t even started yet.”
“Aww!”
When I clicked four fingers, Turka clenched her teeth and ran towards her. Like a mercenary who had been through many battles, he kept his cool rationality in the midst of embarrassment.
He slashed the light sword towards the horizontally drawn sword.
Whoa!
There was a roar that seemed like crushing iron, and Turka’s sword was pushed away. It looked like it was broken, but his eyes were alive. He turned his back in the air and slashed the sword as it was.
“It should be.”
Raon bent his knees slightly and drew his sword low like a swallow.
Whoa!
Turka’s wrist, holding the sword, was broken as if it were about to break. It was the utility of the light sword that created gaps in the opponent.
“Shut up!”
When Turka hurriedly retreated, Raon proceeded like a gale.
Oops!
He dug into Turka’s space and pierced his chest with his left shoulder.
“Ouch… .”
Turka rolled her eyes and stepped back. Bubbles bubbled up from his mouth.
Raon shook his hand lightly and looked back.
He pointed to one of the Wolves mercenaries who had their mouths wide open in the astonished gaze.
“I want you next.”
Raon was excited and smiled and raised his sword.
“Isn’t it going to end like this?”
* * *
Radin dropped off his luggage at the dormitory and went straight to the commander’s office.
As they were preparing for a meeting, Commander Milland was looking at the map with her son and deputy commander, Terian.
“The expected return date must have been the day after tomorrow, right?”
Milland raised her head, placing a model of a red flag on the map.
“Something has happened that I have no choice but to return to.”
At Ladin’s serious voice, Milland put down the model flag, and Terian opened his arms.
“Tell me.”
“Sharkmall has come up to the front of Tunnel No. 5.”
“Five times? Tunnel 5 is outside the forest!”
Terian slammed the desk in an outrageous way.
“Yes. It was the first time I had ever seen a Sharkmall come up near Mount Sterlin.”
“How many came up?”
“Six came out at the same time.”
Radin laid down the furoshiki containing Sharkmal’s fins on the floor.
“Huh!”
“Is that out of bounds? .”
Both Milland and Terian couldn’t take their eyes off their fins, as if startled.
“Wait a minute! Six shark moles attacked me, why are you doing so well? casualties! How many people died!”
“There are no casualties.”
“uh?”
“What?”
The two of them widened their eyes as if they were more surprised than when they said that Sharkmall had appeared.
“Uh, how?”
“You wouldn’t have been able to catch Sharkmal on your own.”
“This time I want to ask.”
Radin swallowed dry saliva and lifted his head.
“Laon. What the hell is that guy?”
As if he had returned to this morning, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
“I am not. The reason we are alive is because of Raon. He warned me first that a Sharkmal was approaching, and I slashed six of the Sharkmal that appeared. There was no time for me to go out.”
“You dealt with six Sharkmal alone?”
Terian’s voice trembled.
“Yes. It was truly overwhelming. I slashed five Sharkmols, one for each sword, in an instant, and when the last one escaped underground, I smashed the ground with a dagger.”
Ladin’s eyes were still trembling.
“I have seen many warriors and heroes in this hellish land, but this is the first time I have ever seen such a force at such a young age. What kind of monster did you send us?”
“… … .”
Milland didn’t answer, just looked down at the map.
“How was the reconnaissance side?”
“I got hot.”
“What?”
Milland’s eyes narrowed at the answer that had nothing to do with the question.
“Identification of topographical features, identification of traces of monsters, time and weather, and Dokdo law and direction. Years here were nothing like a mountain scout. He even knew that the land was empty.”
Radin sighed deeply.
“He was so good that I annoyed him, but he reassured me in a dangerous moment.”
“Are you saying that personality is good?”
Milland tapped the old desk with charred fingers as if thinking about something.
“Yes. He did not promote what he had done, nor did he pretend to know a lot. It’s only been two days, but I got along well with the scouts. If I hadn’t seen swordsmanship, I would have thought that I was a mercenary or a hunter who worked hard since childhood.”
“Then what about the other guy?”
“Are you Dorian? To be honest, he’s more special.”
Radin closed his eyes tightly.
“More special?”
“Yes. I carry all sorts of things with me. I never thought I would go out on a scout, sleep on a mat, and drink hot tea.”
“What is the character of that child?”
“Good. He’s a little scared, but he looks around and takes care of what he needs. We met for a short period of time, so I can’t give a definitive answer, but they both seem like good guys.”
Radin spoke frankly about how she felt watching Raon and Dorian.
“So please answer me! Where did those strange monsters come from! That’s a name right? I should have noticed the gwitty dripping from my face!”
“These children… .”
As Milland was about to answer, an urgent knock was heard outside.
“Commander!”
One of the lieutenants, Charles, entered the door with a blushing face.
“What’s going on?”
“That, why… .”
“Calm down and tell me.”
“Isn’t there a new recruit who came in two days ago?”
The eyes of the three people in the commander’s office shone at the same time at the word “recruit”.
“One of the recruits had a fight with Turka of the Wolves mercenary. They say they are fighting with a true sword in front of the Branch of Frost!”
“What? why?”
“That’s obvious. After hearing the rumor that he had captured Sharkmal alone, Turka must have waged a fight.”
Terian replied as if he had seen the situation with his own eyes.
“Wolves… .”
Milland frowned. The Wolves mercenary team is very helpful in battle because of their strong courage and fighting spirit, but they love fighting.
If there was no battle outside, it was a pain in many ways because it was a group created inside.
“I think it would be better to stop the fight before it gets serious and someone gets seriously hurt. Even if Raon is from there and is strong enough to face Shakmol, he will not be able to defeat Turka, who has been trained in battle.”
“Hey, you’re bothering me.”
Milland clicked and looked at Terian.
“You go and stop the fight, and bring Raon here.”
“All right.”
Terian nodded and left the commander’s office. Radin said he would go with him and stuck to him.
“Hmm… .”
Milland sighed as she looked at Sharkmal’s fins lying on the floor.
“Are changes coming?”
The old soldier who had been guarding this place all his life was not very happy with the change. He let out a light sigh, hoping that this old body could handle the change.
* * *
“The Wolves are really just making accidents!”
Radin frowned as he ran to the Branch of Frost.
“So why didn’t I tell you? Because they are full of muscles even to the brain. Let’s not take it!”
“It is true that they do not go back and forth, but it is also true that they are of great help in battle. There are not enough talented people in hand-to-hand combat.”
Terian said the truth with a calm gaze.
“Zeep, that’s right.”
Radin licked his lips and nodded.
“Anyway, if these bastards touch our newcomer, we won’t let it sit.”
“It’s a strange monster.”
“Whether it’s a monster or a ghost, once you’re in the 3rd Scout, they’re all my subordinates! You have to protect them until they go out on their own feet. Because I owe even my life to Raon.”
“Huh.”
Terian laughed. Ladin was a typical northern man with a strong inner heart, unlike the outside.
‘by the way.’
It shouldn’t hurt too much.
Even if Raon is from Sieghart and has outstanding talent, he will not be able to defeat Turka, who has built up his armed forces in battle.
Because dealing with monsters and dealing with people are completely different things.
Wow!
As we accelerated a bit more, we saw a sign of the branch of frost and heard shouts. The surroundings were already full of people, so there was no place to enter.
“Suck!”
Terian slammed the ground and jumped over a wall made of bystanders.
“uh… ?”
Landing at the end of the round temporary dungeon, he saw an unexpected scene and became as hard as a stone.
‘Why are they… .’
Five valiant mercenaries who did not back down even in front of monsters stretched out in front of them, tired of blue.
and.
Oops!
Another mercenary was thrown to the ground like a stake with a strong sound like breaking rocks.
“Wow!”
“We won again!”
“It’s a six-game winning streak! That kid broke six Wolves mercenaries alone!”
“it’s crazy! Rumors weren’t gossip!”
“It’s a sword. Sword Demon!”
The spectators shouted and praised Raon, who alone defeated the six Wolves mercenaries.
“her… .”
Terian shook his chin and looked to the right.
The blonde swordsman, who gave off a sullen anticipation, was aiming his sword at the Wolves mercenaries.
“I’m losing my excitement, so let’s jump on it at once.”
The energy emanating from his red eyes made Terian involuntarily retreat.
