101. Instructor Han Doyoon
He had a very impressive appearance.
A gigantic body approaching 4m. Pants that seemed to be torn, and a bare top without clothes.
bulging muscles. Copper-colored muscle luster that shines hard like a scarab. and…
‘…word?’
horse head.
Below the collarbone, it was normal… no, not normal, but it was a human body anyway.
But above it was the horse’s head, covered in glossy hair.
A long muzzle and gleaming white teeth. A lot of visible gums.
And the eyes that seemed a little out of focus… So I could see stupidity and madness at first glance.
“Purruleung… Instructor…”
However, unlike his monstrous appearance, he spoke to the martial arts instructor with a rather pitiful crying expression.
“I want to skip a grade in martial arts…”
“ah…”
Knowing the circumstances, he realized what he meant and let out a pitiful sigh.
His name is Rocinante, who is currently the second-in-command of Yoram’s rank and the tanker class.
He was intensively kept in check by Toshiko, the chief and witch doctor.
As in Doyun, grades lead to power in Cradle.
Toshiko, who is good at politics with her original snake-like nature, has been using her faction to isolate and harass the Rocinante.
Rocinante, who had an extremely macho appearance, was very timid, contrary to his appearance. So, despite his high grades, there was almost no faction, and he did not dare to rebel against Toshiko.
“…Is it very difficult? Are you still not feeling well?”
“Yes…”
Rocinante grabbed the gurgling stomach.
To make matters worse, his condition has not been good ever since he entered Yoram, and has deteriorated rapidly since the tournament evaluation.
Indigestion, dry eye syndrome, urgency, nervousness, etc. Frequent pettiness, which should have been avoided for a tanker, harassed him.
‘No matter how you look at it, this is a curse…’
The martial arts instructor frowned.
Likewise, many suspected that this was also Toshiko’s work.
The fact that tanks suffer like that. That Toshiko is a witch doctor.
And unfortunately, it was because of the fact that it got worse after the tournament evaluation. In the tournament, Rocinante completely crushed Toshiko.
However, as a result of various tests, neither Toshiko’s use of the curse nor the Rocinante’s curse could be found. The ghost was supposed to sing.
Anyway, for these reasons, Rocinante came to avoid Toshiko and apply for a grade skip.
Due to the nature of the tank class, which requires cooperation from other offensive positions in training, joint classes with the wizard class were very frequent.
Martial arts instructors were well aware of this situation. Because of that, he also wanted to help Rocinante, but…
‘It’s difficult…’
Conflicts with the magic class instructor, who openly took care of Toshiko, were concerned.
The magician class instructor, like the martial arts instructor, was sponsored by the World Tree, and was even a much older instructor.
In addition, martial arts instructors are also in a position to pay attention to their recruiting performance. The senior cadet was in a difficult position to touch.
when he was troubled by difficulties.
“you.”
Doyoon, who had approached me, looked up at Rocinante and said.
“What is your name?”
“…Yes? Ah, Rocinante.”
He was taken aback for a moment, then responded by politely bowing his large, thick, muscular body.
Rocinante examined the outfit of the man in front of him.
‘Assistant Instructor?’
Still, since he’s second in line, there hasn’t been an instructor who doesn’t know his name yet? Besides, it’s a face I haven’t seen in weeks.
However, Rocinante could feel the atmosphere that Do-yoon gave off, that he was an unusual person.
The martial arts instructor looked at Do-yoon, who had intruded.
“Do-yoon?”
“Yes. There is nothing more to see.”
There was a rare glimpse of blatant longing in his eyes.
“This is my friend.”
Doyoon grinned.
+++
Two days have passed since the skipping class, and during that time, Rocinante has been able to avoid running into Toshiko.
While receiving one-on-one lessons from Do-yoon, he recalled countless times what the martial arts instructor said.
‘You really got lucky.’
At first I tilted my head, but I soon understood what he meant.
‘This Assistant Instructor… He’s not just an instructor…!’
Under the pretext of being a latecomer, he took exclusive lessons from Do-yoon, and he could feel several times that this assistant instructor was a great person. The quality of the classes was really, on a different level.
“Ah… me too…”
“Write…”
Thanks to that, the cadets in the martial arts class were very disappointed. Because everyone wanted to take lessons from Doyoon.
Rocinante felt the same atmosphere and felt how lucky he was.
‘Why is this person an assistant instructor…?’
Anyway, Rocinante was very satisfied with the change now.
And it was the same for Doyoon.
He watched Rocinante practice martial arts under my guidance. Every time he took poison, he smiled heartily at his muscles wriggling vividly.
‘It’s a real thing.’
He browsed Rocinante’s status window with the [First Guild Master] attribute.
[Status Window]
Name: Rosinante
Race: Half-Elyos/Human
belong: –
Talent: Genius
Stats:
strength – level 3
Agility – Level 2
Stamina – Level 3
Toughness – Level 5
Magic – Level 3
Congenital traits:
[minor]
[Coward]
Acquired traits:
–
skill:
[Unstoppable Lv.- Rate.A]
It is a status window that makes me smile every time I see it.
First of all, the stats were jaw-dropping.
In general, cadets are treated as the top tier if their highest stat is level 3, and if they are level 4, they are treated as senior. In the previous jockey, Sophie was the runner-up of misfortune that was pushed out because of Do-yoon, who had level 4 agility.
Besides, his initial stats largely reflect his potential.
However, the Rocinante in front of me had tenacity level 5 from the beginning. It was a monstrous stat.
‘And above all, the character [forged]. That’s the real truth.’
[minor]
Your body is like steel. Your body gets stronger the more you hit it.
simple explanation. Perhaps Rocinante did not regard this as a big deal.
If it fits, it will be hard. For him, who was extraordinarily cowardly, it was an undesirable trait.
However, Doyoon was able to recognize the potential of this trait right away.
‘I haven’t checked the efficiency yet, but if that was a skill, it would have a minimum A rate. And maybe… It’s a ridiculous characteristic that’s comparable to S-rate.’
It was an unexpected, real jewel discovery.
Sophie, the previous jockey, was also a treasure of the cadet class.
She was a talent who surpassed the senior level with simple stats and talent. However, her true value is her powers unique to the unicorn race. It was of extreme utility.
Do-yoon concluded that Rocinante was also a treasure on the same level as Sophie.
To think that these enormous treasures appeared consecutively from the two riders of the cradle, and that Do-yoon took all of them to himself. It really couldn’t have been a lot of luck.
He raised his expectations by thinking about the future of Rocinante.
‘Look forward to it. I’ll take you and beat you up without mercy.’
With his help, Rocinante will surely be able to become the hardest steel on the continent.
Rocinante, who did not know Doyun’s feelings, just practiced without any desire in perfect condition for the first time in a long time.
Curiously, whenever I was with Instructor Lee, I was always in good shape.
“How are you today?”
“Today is fine. Abdominal pain, nervousness, clean…!”
Rocinante was so excited that he screamed.
“okay?”
Those words made Doyoon think for a while.
Not long ago, when I said I would take on Rocinante, I thought of what the martial arts instructor had told me.
‘…Do-yoon. I don’t know if this is just my guess, but…’
‘Yes.’
‘Watch out for Toshiko. Guy, there’s something. No trace of the curse was found… but there are so many mysterious forces from other dimensions. No matter how I look at it, I feel like something is wrong with me.’
Doyoon nodded his head without hearing this. His senses were also telling him that Toshiko had something.
‘It’s going to be annoying while taking on the Rocinante, but…’
It doesn’t matter.
Doyun has already decided to take Rocinante with him, and he will protect his people as always.
Rocinante had already entered the nest of the strongest man on the continent without even knowing it.
right after a while.
“uh…!”
“Have you come?”
The two were able to spot an uninvited guest.
At the entrance of the training ground, Toshiko was standing around.
“Purr…”
Rocinante groaned in uneasiness, grinding his teeth, showing his gums. His large, unfocused eyes rolled their pupils.
“Continue your training.”
“Yes?”
Doyoon indifferently gave orders to Rocinante and walked toward the entrance.
Dealing with that bastard now was his role to protect Rocinante.
Doyun blocked Toshiko from entering the training ground through the entrance.
“…?”
Toshiko tilted her head for a moment, but then ignored it and tried to avoid Doyoon. It was absolutely not the attitude the instructor would show.
“yes?”
Strangely, however, whenever Toshiko turned, she could find Doyoon standing in front of her like a ghost.
As a magician, he couldn’t recognize Doyoon’s high-level footwork, and laughed out loud at the fact that it wasn’t the same.
“under.”
what are you human doing? What, an instructor specializing in footwork?
‘What should I do?’
don’t you know who i am If you were an instructor, you wouldn’t be able to do that.
He looked up at the instructor in front of him with a fake smile.
“I’m here to see some friends.”
Doyoon checked the time.
There are still 10 minutes left before class ends. Even if it wasn’t until the drop off, the instructor in charge of the magician took care of the convenience and came out early.
“Go back to class.”
“…”
Toshiko frowned.
He bluntly bowed his head and stood crookedly.
“You don’t know who I am?”
“Go back.”
“under.”
I was wondering what did you believe and went to the martial arts class, was it this?
He glanced up and down at Doyoon for a moment and made an expression of disapproval.
‘Assistant instructor?’
It’s ridiculous.
When I asked what he was doing, it seemed that he was a newcomer and couldn’t understand things.
Toshiko was not at all afraid of assistant instructors, rather than being the same cadet.
That’s also true, what’s so scary about an instructor with a very high seniority who is sponsored by the World Tree and openly looking after me. He’s still the chief, even though the instructors are reluctant to keep up with him.
To believe in this and get away with it. It was a response that was perfectly suited to the level of an ignorant horsehead.
“Oh yes, yes. I will go.”
Unexpectedly, Toshiko meekly turned around and left the training ground.
Rocinante, who had been hiding from afar and watched the scene, sighed and wiped his chest.
Doyoon watched Toshiko’s back, and he too turned around and walked away.
However, Doyoon’s feet soon stopped.
“…”
he turned around again Toshiko had already gone and was out of sight.
Doyoon looked down at my back.
A long dark gray cloak that was rented for a long time through the Alliance before the war.
The hem of the cloak was stained white.

“The idiot-like assistant instructor was a jerk.”
“yes? The assistant instructor for martial arts class?”
The wizard instructor who heard the story tilted his head.
He thought as he stroked his now faded beard.
Of course, he knew the assistant instructor under the martial arts instructor. However, he was not someone to reach out to Toshiko.
no, maybe…
‘The new assistant instructor?’
Huh, true.

Just like Toshiko, the instructor also laughed out of embarrassment.
Since he was a new assistant instructor, he didn’t know his physiology and seemed to be running amok with justice.
‘Obviously…the instructor who received the patronage of the World Tree, like me and the martial arts instructor.’
If the contract with the guild goes wrong due to an instructor’s mistake and goes against the feelings of precious talents like seniors, how serious is the loss?
‘Tsk tsk…’
That assistant instructor must have been like a bug even from the World Tree’s point of view. At least the wizard instructor thought so.
Of course, such injustice and favoritism were, of course, bad things. He, too, was aware of his wrongdoing.
But what are you going to do? There was a corner that he believed too.
He was about to retire. After completing his term as an instructor, all that remains is to spend a peaceful old age while eating the pension provided by the World Tree.
Toshiko of this jockey had a chance to increase the amount of her pension by raising her recruiting performance just before her retirement.
‘If you are the chief of the precious position of witch doctor, there is no shortage of that one shot. dragging…’
It was for that reason that he took care of Toshiko even if he was forced to do so.
‘But… is that blue-eyed young guy interfering with that?’
Instructors hold a considerable position within the guild. Talent is everything that determines the future of a guild, and instructors play a very important role in recruiting talent.
At the Skeletonian Cradle, there are quite a few instructors who are sponsored by the World Tree. The magician instructor was the person with the highest seniority among them.
‘If he belongs to the World Tree… I’ll have to show him what real combat is like.’
If he used his power properly, it would be possible to completely oust him from sponsorship.
Of course, there is no need to go there. Let them be aware of this, scare them, and watch them wriggle.
“Someone who doesn’t know anything installs it.”
“Can I please?”
“Well then. Do you want to leave it to me?”
The instructor gently soothed Toshiko like an idiot.
Although it’s disrespectful to have a young bastard dare to climb up lately, it’s a valuable achievement for him anyway.
However, it was difficult to release too much.
“By the way. After the tournament, the checks were too blatant, why don’t you be a bit self-respecting?”
“…”
Toshiko, who was about to frown at the sound of an old man, hid her expression.
That old man is still on my side. There was no need to pretend.
“Yes. Okay.”
“hahahaha. well thought out There’s nothing good about causing trouble.”
Letting goofing voices in one ear, Toshiko finished organizing her plan.
‘Damn it. I have to let it go completely.’
He did not forget the humiliation of losing to Rocinante in front of everyone on the tournament evaluation day.
Toshiko gritted her teeth and smiled ominously.
