105. little dear friend
+++
World Tree outdoor training ground.
Kwak-! Kwak!
From there, a series of sounds resounded as if shells were exploding thick iron plates.
Kwak, boom!
Doyoon, who had been hitting a series of short hits, pulled his elbows and straightened them straight.
Let’s hit the guard squarely with that fist loaded up to the waist.
Kwaang-!!
“Huuuuuuuuuuuu!!”
Along with the tremendous sound of shells, Rocinante’s desperate screams rang out.
“Ugh, heh! Ughhh!!”
“Don’t be rude!”
Kwak-!
Again, Do-yoon’s relentless continuous hitting began.
Rocinante was screaming for the sky to leave, but Doyun knew. With his guard firmly set up and his muscles inflated to the fullest, the damage he sustained was limited to bruises at best.
Even without the Hekleos ceremony, Doyun’s fists, who were at their peak martial arts, were very fierce.
However, even Doyoon was only able to inflict bruises on Rocinante, who was fully guarded.
“Uuuuuuuu!!”
Now, his screams were nothing more than a slap in the face.
Day 3 of training.
And just yesterday, Rocinante’s body, whose strength stat had risen to level 6, was really hard.
A cadet who has not yet graduated from the cradle achieved stat level 6.
Of course, it was the result of the combination of the growth value accumulated at level 5, Doyoon’s help, and the growth buff, but even taking all of that into account, it was a phenomenal growth rate.
‘As expected, this guy is a genius!’
Not only that, he twisted his body little by little even with his guard up, letting Doyoon’s fists flow so that they wouldn’t get stuck in the vitals.
Do-yoon is an innate movement that comes out of a timid nature and instinct to protect oneself that has never been taught. In other words, it was a talent.
He has the characteristic of becoming stronger the more he gets hit. Do-yoon got drunk on Rocinante’s talent and beat him very harshly.
Quaang-!
“Ah ah ah ah ah!! bone! bone!!”
Eloa, who watched the scene, and Sophie stuck out their tongues.
“Wow, wow…”
“…It’s bloody, really.”
Although he does not use Hekleos-style herbivores, he is Do-yoon, who weakly incorporates Hekleos-style tricks in all martial arts.
Because of this, his punching was really bloody and tough, and it made the viewers sympathize with Rocinante.
Training soon ended, and Doyoon wiped the sweat from his chin.
“After… rest.”
thud.
As soon as he said those words, the 4m bronze muscular body lay down on the ground. No, it fell.

Judging by the ups and downs of his thick back, he seemed to be in good spirits.
However, it was very pitiful to see Rocinante panting with his long tongue sticking out on the ground.
[The level of the skill ‘Kunbeop’ has risen! Current Level: 2]
Doyoon removed the system message that appeared in front of him.
‘No matter what you make of a scarecrow, it will explode if you just hit it.
From now on, it seems that I will be able to train the ‘Kunbeop’ skill, which has the Hecleus formula as a sub-skill.
Tia squatted towards the fallen Rocinante and stretched out her small hand to create a white magic circle.
“hurt?”
“Hehe…! heck…! Hehe…!”
“I won’t hurt you!”
“Purrr. Hehe…!”
Tia, who will serve as the team’s mage and healer, healed Rocinante.
Even though Tia has only been hatching for a few months, she has already learned countless magic.
A dragon called the master of magic. That, too, is the road’s hetzling.
She naturally learned the various magics that other races would have to devote for months or years, just like a child learning a language.
Besides, the appearance that looked like a 7-year-old has already grown into a 10-year-old.
Doyoon looked at Tia happily and accepted the cold towel that Sofia gave her.
“Here you go.”
“thanks.”
However, Sophie could feel a weak worry beyond the refreshment and pride in Do-yoon’s face as he wiped his sweat.
Not just today. Lately, you’ve always been like that.
“…Are there any problems?”
“yes?”
“You look bad…”
Doyoon was taken aback by her worried gaze. Was it enough to burn out?
“…it’s nothing. Thanks for your concern, Sophie.”
“yes…”
There seemed to be concern, but Sophie knew that Do-yoon would never tell her, so she didn’t ask more.
Because Do-yoon was always the one who shouldered all the hardships and adversity alone.
All she could do was, as always, dedicate herself to standing by his side.
On the other hand, Eloa, who knew the identity of the worry, looked at Doyoon with a complicated expression.
She recalled her conversation with Doyoon.
‘A trip?’
‘okay. The application for use of the facility has been accepted, but it will take time to process. It’s such an unusual case.’
‘…Travel, is it because you’re worried about the death?’
‘…’
After a short silence, Doyoon replied.
‘…That’s scary.’
Enoch had never been afraid of the demon king.
To him, the demon king is not an object to be feared, but a mission to be reached someday. object of construction. target. That was all.
However, the Shinigami was different.
The first and fifteenth deaths left Enoch with considerable trauma.
It was the most crushing death. He, the highest power of the alliance, was not aware of death even after he died.
After defeating the corps commanders, the last notice. It was a really sudden and fresh shock to him who was only aiming for the demon king.
Even Enoch ended up not being able to kill a Shinigami once in all episodes. She always ran away, and Enoch could not pursue it.
For Do-yoon, the ‘four god’ was always the biggest fear.
Moreover, now that he is infinitely weaker than he was in his prime, unable to even point his sword at the god of death, his presence felt even greater.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the Shinigami’s identity will be revealed through this search.
However, in the worst case, you might encounter a Shinigami.
Because of this, Do-yoon tried to leave somewhere until the facility’s permission was given in order to organize his troubled mind.
‘Will it take a long time?’
‘It won’t take a few days. I will only stop by one place and come back. There will still be some time left… Prepare to participate in the great underground auction. I need to adjust the team members’ equipment in earnest.’
‘yes…’
‘I’m going to do some shopping after a long time.’
Doyoon tried to speak with a calm expression.
After reminiscing, Eloah looked at Doyoon’s back as he entered the building. You’re probably ready to leave right away.
Eloa wondered where his destination would be, which he hadn’t been able to ask.
‘Where the warrior leaves to organize his mind…’
It was the first time I had seen him shaking like he is now, so I couldn’t even guess where he was.
After a while, Doyoon climbed into the prepared carriage.
“It is an honor to meet you.”
“Branch.”
Do-yoon left for his destination, accompanied by only one coachman.
Looking out the window as he passed by, I tried to calm my troubled mind.
Then, I remembered the destination I was heading to and something that would be there.
‘…You’re leaving too late.’
Even if I come back here, I live breathlessly, so I haven’t been able to stop by until now.
‘Please, I hope you’re well…’
The most precious and only being who has been with Doyoon 17 times.
It was time to go visit his little friend.

Rocinante, who had been called by Millain, tilted his head as he took over the luxurious parchment.
“What is this?”
Eyes that seemed a little out of focus, so they looked a bit stupid.
Millaine looked at Rocinante, who tilted her head with those eyes, and held back a smile as she explained.
“This is the catalog for the upcoming underground auction house.”
“Underground… Grand Auction House?”
“It means the largest auction on the continent, held once a year. Although it is a black market.”
Rocinante opened the parchment, and Millaine pointed out a few places and said.
“See the marked items? These are tank-only items. Apostle Doyoon Han told me to pick out the ones I like until he returns. This is the first order of the team leader.”
“Is it an item? But I have no money…”
“Of course, Apostle Han Do-yoon is supporting us. Those items, Rocinantes in cadet status, are expensive things that you can’t even dream of.”
“By the way, the price isn’t written…?”
“Wouldn’t it be comfortable not knowing the price?”
As if expecting Millain, he smiled.
“It must be a long time since the rich people of the continent are agitated.”
Do-yoon’s enormous wealth, which is only rotting in the safe.
Sooner or later it will make its appearance on the underground market.
“Uh… I see.”
Rocinante still had stupid eyes, but it was the team leader’s order. At first, he nodded.
“It would be okay to seek help from other guild members. Then, have a good time at work.”
“yep.”
After closing the door of the vice master’s room, Rocinante headed to the restaurant, which was crowded with guild members. After training, he was always hungry.
While the ordered food was served, Rocinante spread the parchment on the table, crossed his arms, and contemplated.
“Purruleung…”
I don’t know if I look No wonder. What would a cadet know if he saw the treasures of the great auction?
But soon after, a team of guild members approached him.
“Rocinante. Are you here to eat?”
“Ah, sisters and brothers.”
Unlike his heinous size, he was loved by his seniors for his characteristic stupid-looking face and naive and kind nature.
In addition, his position as the strongest player in the world and the internal tank of the apostle Han Do-yoon’s team was enough to receive the attention and envy of many people.
“Why are you porridge in front of the table? huh? What’s this?”
“I got it from Millaine. It is a catalog of the underground economy.”
“Why did you give it to me?”
“The team leader said he would adjust the equipment.”
“…crazy. A kid who hasn’t graduated yet, you’re going to match equipment at an underground auction?”
“Huh… Rocinante… Boo, I’m envious…”
“Is that enough? I don’t feel well.”
“You can just imagine that you live in a different world from the beginning.”
Rocinante knows Do-yoon’s strength, but does not know that he is incredibly rich.
He only tilted his head, not knowing that he would later wear thousands of gold coins around his body.
The story quickly spread, and soon the surroundings were crowded with guild members looking at his catalog.
“Hey, look at the underlined items.”
“Among the auction items, only the best ones are available. Two is the price of one castle?”
“Wow… Sado Han Do-yoon really has a lot of money…”
“Me, me too… the rich team leader who adjusts the items…”
Rocinante, in the middle of the crowd, strangely felt a force go into his shoulders.
“Purruleurreung-!”
He snorted and purred vigorously.
“How does it feel to have a semi-hero level team leader?”
“…It hurts a lot.”
“yes? hurt?”
The guild member, not understanding what he meant, tilted his head.
“Are you going to be just good at teaching if you’re at the level of Apostle Han Do-yoon?”
“That’s right! Our instructor… no, thanks to the team leader, the status window is changing every day!”
Rocinante, who inflated his pectoral muscles, proudly boasted of his team leader.
“With the talent that such a person picked, if you get taught yourself… it must be really fast.”
“Training, lessons, environment, and buffs! so wonderful! I am happy every day!”
“We envy you too… Huh? But what about a buff? If you get doped during training, your stats won’t go up, right?”
Amidst the guild members who were looking cutely at the elated Rocinante, someone tilted their heads and asked.
“Oh, not doping, but a 10% growth rate buff. At first, I thought it was an insignificant figure… but I really feel it!”
“uh? What is 10%?”
“What are you talking about?”
Silence settled in the bustling restaurant.
Anyway, Do-yoon recruits talents 100% through scouting. And since there was no need to go to another guild, there was no need to increase the ransom by promoting one’s own characteristics.
Of course, this was the first time everyone in this room had heard of Doyoon’s characteristics.
However, Rocinante, who does not know the details of the circumstances, does not know the weight of that characteristic, and does not know the atmosphere of the restaurant that has changed dramatically.
Excited, they were busy bragging about their amazing team leader.
“And the potential 10% buff, I haven’t experienced it yet…”
The eyes and mouths of everyone who heard his story were widening in amazement.
Team Doyoon Han, the best prospect in the current union. 1 wizard. 1 tanker. 1 vanguard. 1 supporter.
“According to Sophie’s words, it’s as if the wall has become thinner…”
Currently made up of 4 people.
It was still a team with a few spots left.
