155 – Achievable Goals
‘What the hell just happened?’
Tommy couldn’t believe his eyes at the sudden situation.
“Your mouth is fine. Tell me. What did you just say?”
Because I wondered if that man casually shaking the collar of the man who was pouring blood right where his eyes were was really the kind old man he saw.
While Tommy is confused by the way he behaves as if a person has changed.
The other bullies were also in the same panic.
All they could see was that my colleague had suddenly grabbed his eye and was bleeding from it.
The first of them to come to their senses was a man holding a knife.
“This is a baby to chew! What are you doing?!
Ian frowned at the sight of the gangsters swearing at the man who judged that the guy closest to him must have done it.
From what I learned the last time I talked to the world tree in the elf village, it seems that the Goddess Jjansuni didn’t just bring me here, but she gave me a lot of blessings.
Judging from my experience so far, what I can expect is recovery, speed, and strength.
Recovery seems to work on its own when injured, and I felt the speed while suddenly pulling out my eyes, but I was able to confirm that it applied not only to the legs but also to other parts such as the arms.
If there is a problem, it is that the narrow terrain of the alley is at a disadvantage for me.
I’m an out fighter who prefers wa, so it’s easy to get into the enemy’s range.
In this case, strong physical strength was desperately needed, as was the case with beating an elf, but unfortunately, unlike the two things mentioned above, I couldn’t handle it at will.
‘Is this a quick fight….’
After confirming the cards I could use right away, I looked at the bullies.
On the side of the entrance you came in, one big guy holding a lumber and one holding a knife, and finally, on the other side, a guy holding a hammer and standing alone, a total of three.
“Whoa?!”
Determining where to drill, I picked up the kid, put it around my waist, and rushed towards the guy who fell alone close to the wall.
It took a moment for him to flinch at the sight of him running towards him, and soon the hammer was swung at me.
– Tung!
As he bent down, the hammer hit the wall hard from behind, and the impact returned to the man holding the hammer.
“Keugh…!”
The moment the man hesitated, as if his hands were numb.
I stretched out my empty hand to him.
– Chow!
I grabbed him by the back of his head and put his weight on it and ground it against the wall.
In the place where the face passed, irregular red lines continued, and flesh was smeared in places, adding tension to the already gloomy alleyway.
The guy whose upper lip has disappeared is in a situation where he can’t even resist because he is complaining of pain.
Originally, in this case, if only one person is left behind, the rest will be scared.
“You’re in the back.”
When he added that he should not get caught up in the possibility of hanging around and becoming a hostage, the little boy nodded his head with his mouth open.
“Ughhhhh…”
After confirming that the little boy was far away from me, I picked up the moaning boy with his face skin half peeled off.
“What the f*ck are you doing…!”
Two people approaching my action stopped and asked.
From noble mtl dot com
What are you doing? That’s what you want
-Paak!
The stolen hammer struck the original owner’s mouth.
– Patter.
Corn, stained red in places, fell randomly to the ground from the mouth of the guy who had been hit by his own weapon.
I can’t come easily with this….
“You bastard!”
As if there was some kind of loyalty to the bullies, the image of him running with his eyes turned upside down.
“….”
It looks like he hasn’t come to his senses even though he’s already been hit halfway.
I sighed and took my posture at the sight of the bullies who exceeded my expectations several times.
Knives are deadly, but their power is limited to the blade. So, the first thing you need to aim for is the opponent with the wooden stick.
-f*ck!
I kicked the guy with my foot while dodging the stabbing knife.
With that recoil, right before the wooden pole was swung at me, I pushed his shoulder forward and dug into the big man’s arms.
-Keah… !
As my shoulder got stuck in the pit of his stomach, I heard a sound like the wind escaping.
‘The hero said that when an attack goes in properly, such a sound can be heard from a person’s mouth.’
It was a successful blow.
– Huung.
The hammer held in reverse was raised from the bottom to the top and struck.
Then a loud popping sound was heard.
Oh no, only one exploded.
A big guy who puts a wooden stake on the action that continues and then collapses while holding on to his crotch.
“Oh sh*t!”
Left alone, Yangachi seemed to have lost his temper and randomly brandished a knife and rushed at me.
“Tsk.”
I took a backward step and calmly got out of his range.
“Die you bastard!”
Calmly wait for the action to increase.
Because it’s not me who’s in a hurry in a situation like this.
“Die! Die!”
I could see him raising a knife over his head, impatient with his cumulative failures.
Right now.
I aimed at the body that was easiest to hit and threw the hammer with all my might.
-f*ck!
While the guy who was hit with a hammer on his exposed abdomen grabbed his stomach. He took a shot at the vulnerable spot and hit the creature’s joints with his foot so he couldn’t stand up.
Nevertheless, the guy who never let go of his sword.
– Kwaaak.
As I stepped on his wrist, I hit him in pain.
If it stays like this, it won’t be long before they try to bite my ankle.
“aaa!”
As expected, he screamed and stuck his head all the way to where his ankles were.
Putting his weight on his left foot, he kicked the guy in the jaw with his right foot.
Then his jaw was forcibly closed and his protruding tongue was cut off.
“Whoa…”
He calmed his excitement as he looked down at the small pool of blood that flowed from his mouth.
To hear such insults and still go beyond this. I’m too nice to ride
-Kyum.
You don’t think that’s a bit much? Kwydol. What time is it? Still, at least I didn’t kill him.
While saying that, he looked back at the bullies he defeated.
People whose facial skin is missing and people who bleed from their eye sockets.
Someone who dyes his crotch red and twitches, and one who constantly bleeds out of his mouth. All of them were bleeding profusely.
“….”
If left as it is, it would be excessive bleeding, and even if he lived happily, it didn’t seem like he would last long due to sepsis.
What is this? Yes ordeal. I gave you a little trial, but I can’t overcome it. I’m weak
It’s a world in which people throw their gloves at each other and fight between the dead and the dead. It’s natural to endure this much if you have a fight.
Of course, I didn’t have any gloves to throw at me, so I skipped that part.
Still, if you have noticed, you should have figured it out. I’m approaching my first year, so shouldn’t you guys who have lived here for the rest of my life notice it right away?
In the end, it is said that everything like this is because of the goddess. Wouldn’t this have happened if you hadn’t brought me?
A truly cruel goddess. How can you do that to people?
-Kyum!
She’s the one who told me not to blame others for what she did.
In the midst of a heated discussion with Kyudol about who has the greater responsibility.
“Ah, mister…”
As if she realized that the situation had been sorted out, her little boy came towards me little by little.
In the first place, I’m blocking the way out, so I can’t help it.
“My brother.”
I picked up the fallen fedora and corrected the annoying title.
‘Who are you calling Mr. I’m still twenty-five….’
Suddenly, it dawned on me that it had been a year since I came here.
“….”
Still, wouldn’t ten thousand years have been applied by now? Then you’re still in the middle.
Around the time when Ian was eager to lower his age. Tommy was trying to calm his wobbly legs.
I was scared. But he had no intention of running away like before.
Because I thought it was impossible to run away from a man who instantly knocked out the tough bullies in front of me.
While Tommy was doing that. Seeing this, Ian felt remorse.
‘… I think I showed a cruel side to him.’
Because of the heat, I became violent without realizing it.
Still, the era is the era, wouldn’t this be enough to fall into the category of early education?
I just decided to think that way. There should be at least one private education here.
That time when I tried to take a bouquet of flowers and leave the place while trying to avert my eyes from reality.
“….”
Orange petals scattered everywhere caught my eye.
A messy bouquet that must have been trampled on during a fight. Among them, I picked up the only intact one.
Kywadol. What do you think? Can I claim this as a bouquet?
-Kyuwoo.
Kywadori shakes his head, saying that there is no hope.
‘How about this….’
I was thinking of going back and buying flowers, but as I came out, I heard the hostess muttering that she had finished her business today, so if you go now, it is highly likely that the store will be closed.
Besides this flower, there was nothing I really liked, so I decided to avoid the hero today and buy it again tomorrow.
– Starkly.
I could feel the gaze from the side.
When I turned my head to look at it, I saw the little boy startled. Do you have anything to say to me?
“Why?”
“I’m sorry… I stole the bouquet…”
A little boy who bows down to me and doesn’t come up.
“Never mind. I’ll buy it again.”
As he retrieved the platinum coin from Yangachi, who was cooling off, he said as if it was nothing special.
But I can’t say that all the bullies here died because of you.
Still, she has the name of a goddess, but I believe she will take this level of guilt for the sake of her growing child.
***
“Don’t leak the other way. Go home right away.”
After coming out of the alley, I opened my mouth as if admonishing a little boy.
“Okay man…”
-Sueuk.
“…Hyung.”
That’s right.
As he said the correct title, he put down his useless fist.
“Hey, the bouquet…”
It’s still that sound. Did it take that long?
“It’s okay. You don’t have to give it today.”
“But because of me…”
“It’s okay. Rather than that, this is your first time, isn’t it?”
“Yeah…? What?”
“The one I stole.”
“….”
Looking at his silence, it seems my guess is correct. Somehow he seemed insecure.
“Why did you do that?”
“That’s…”
The little boy started talking about why he stole the bouquet.
“I have one older sister, but she’s leaving soon. I wanted to give her something as a gift before she left, but compared to the bouquet my older brother had, the one I bought looked too shabby, so stop…”
“There’s more than that. The reason for stealing.”
“How does your brother know that…?”
A little boy looking up at me with curious eyes.
“Something seemed dissatisfied.”
Then the little boy, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth crying.
“I didn’t steal it, but everyone is suspicious… It’s too unfair to be criticized for no reason…”
“….”
When I heard the kid’s words, something came to mind.
Because there was actually such a case.
If something went missing from school, people immediately became suspicious of us.
Because he is an orphan, just because he is poor.
Even if the real culprit later appeared or found the item, there was no apology.
When I asked for an apology, they said this.
I did it because I was suspicious.
That was all.
Sure.
I got down on my knees and got to eye level with the kid.
“So now that’s good?”
“….”
My heart feels heavy for some reason as I can’t answer anything.
Children without parents usually imitate adults.
It’s fortunate if you imitate a good adult, but if you stray there, you’ll find alcohol, cigarettes, touching other people’s things, etc. Through my younger siblings, I’ve seen countless times, and whenever that happened, I sat down and talked like this. .
“You said you did it because you felt unfair about what others were talking about, but in the end you just did what they said. Look at yourself now. In the future, when they look at you and point their fingers at you, can you confidently say no?”
“….”
Then the little boy stared at the ground.
You should have figured this out.
Sure.
I handed out the one remaining flower to the kid without a word.
“Why are you giving me this…?”
“Use it. When an adult gives it to you, you say thank you and receive it.”
“…Thank you man… aww!”
A little boy wraps her head when she feeds honey chestnuts in displeasure.
“It’s not the uncle, it’s the older brother. Tell me how many times.”
Still, seeing as he holds back tears, it seems that he has properly repented of his wrongdoing.
“You shouldn’t get caught touching other people’s things in the future.”
“Okay… yes…?”
Ian turned his back, leaving Tommy behind as he didn’t understand.
– Jerking around.
Tommy stared blankly at Ian’s back as he disappeared.
He was a strange man.
He seemed like a nice guy, but he suddenly changed and hit people, and even gave advice.
But.
“It’s cool…”
The unpredictable back figure made me feel very cool.
Even though she stole the bouquet, the way she rescued and told her was similar to her older sister, a warrior, but a little different.
Compared to the perfect older sister, she was a strange uncle who was somewhat lacking, but rather, that lacking part came closer to me as a human being.
‘I can’t be a hero, but if I’m a man like that….’
It was the moment when a child who had been looking up at an unreachable longing stood up towards his goal.
‘It’s a big deal. What should I say to the hero….’
The person who became the target of a child without even knowing it was thinking about other things.
Today, no matter how we avoided it, we had no choice but to face each other when we ate.
“Don’t want to eat dinner outside and come back. I hope so…”
Ian was so heavy on his way back home.
