Chapter 110
110: Preparation Training (3)
There’s a saying: “Train like it’s real combat, fight like it’s training.” People often agree it’s absolutely true. The Dohyun Party thought the same way.
Though Hanalin and Jiyuchan had slightly different opinions.
“Huff, huff, huff.”
“Gasp, wheeze, gasp.”
The thought that if real combat proceeded like this training every time, they’d surely die kept flooding their minds relentlessly. They were drowning in regret—why had they agreed to train intensely in the Special Training Room?
Of course, Dohyun was just as exhausted as the two of them, sprawled flat on his back across the ground in complete abandonment.
Could I say we’re nearly evenly matched now? To be precise, I was being pushed back slightly, but I was barely winning through my diverse skills, quick improvisation, and Analysis’s overwhelming analytical power. Without Analysis’s insights, I suspected we’d be tied or I’d be losing.
Seeing that even the monster-like Dohyun was struggling and straining, Hanalin and Jiyuchan had no choice but to keep up. Though they thought their own exhaustion was natural given that even that beast was suffering, watching him suffer so intensely was actually quite amusing.
Regardless, I checked my status window.
『Dohyun』
『Trait: Analysis [Ex]』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 57▶59」
▶「Agility: 60▶61」
▶「Stamina: 59▶60」
▶「Mana: 61▶62」
‘This is really slow.’
The efficiency was definitely better than in the D-rank Zone—just half a day of training had pushed my mana all the way to 62, a remarkable achievement, and my other stats had risen considerably too, with nearly all of them approaching 60. But conversely, despite this level of efficiency, my mana had only increased by 1.
From now on, I could feel viscerally how slowly my stats would climb.
I checked Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s status windows and saw similar patterns.
『Hanalin』
『Trait: Sorceress Supreme [S]』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 31▶35」
▶「Agility: 34▶41」
▶「Stamina: 33▶40」
▶「Mana: 60▶61」
『Jiyuchan』
『Trait: Platinum Sword King [S]』
『Stats』
▶「Strength: 60▶61」
▶「Agility: 54▶57」
▶「Stamina: 52▶55」
▶「Mana: 45▶53」
Stats below 60 were rising quickly, while the major stats that had reached 60 were rising frustratingly slowly. I could only nod in acknowledgment.
I’d need to train here for several more days.
For now.
“Let’s call it a day.”
“Phew… Yes, that’s good.”
“…Thank you.”
Watching Hanalin’s lips tremble from exhaustion and Jiyuchan express his gratitude with genuine sincerity, I chuckled and wiped the sweat from my brow. When I checked my phone, I noticed a message from Choe Yunsuk and realized I’d completely forgotten about it.
Looking at the message that had just arrived:
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: Hey, did you forget about me??? Let me know when you see this.]
Seeing his slightly worried message, I quickly replied.
[Haha sorry, I forgot about you lol]
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: Nothing serious happened, right?]
[Yeah, the work’s done, but I forgot because I was training with my party members. Sorry.]
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: You crazy bastard. You should’ve told me earlier, now I was worried for nothing.]
[Lol anyway, I don’t think I’ll be able to help tomorrow, but you can do it alone, right?]
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: Yeah, honestly I’m already super grateful you helped me up until today;;;]
[Okay, I’ll contact you later.]
[Choe Yunsuk Blockhead: Yeah, I’ll buy next time, so call me.]
[K]
I finished the conversation and stretched out my body properly.
I’d originally planned to help Choe Yunsuk more, but right now my party needed me more urgently. Besides, Choe Yunsuk could always learn at the Training Facility if needed. I had to prioritize what was most pressing. And naturally, Choe Yunsuk was already incredibly grateful for what I’d done for him.
I’d already given him more than enough help.
Anyway, I put my phone away and looked at Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who were still too exhausted to move, and said:
“Should we shower and grab some food?”
“…That sounds good.”
“…Let’s do that.”
They agreed, but both spoke with such exhaustion that I wondered if they were forcing themselves. Yet the moment I suggested it, they both got up from their spots and headed toward the shower room, so it seemed they weren’t.
I followed them to the shower room as well.
By the way.
‘Villain Party hunting only humans while circling the Safe Zone…’
I recalled Tsuraku, the Bat-Human Hybrids party I’d encountered back when I was F-rank, but shook my head. The difference in power was too vast.
If Tsuraku’s party was pathetic, these guys seemed to possess considerable strength.
From what I heard, even the party that had lost members and survived was at Mid C-rank level. In other words, they were stronger than a Mid C-rank party.
I didn’t know how long they’d stay at that level, but if we ever crossed paths, I’d show them something different from what they’d seen so far. In that instant, my eyes turned pale gray.
‘Yeah, let’s see who wins.’

The Snake Humanoid Woman, displaying black scales and appearing to be a mixture of human and serpent, rolled a coin across her palm with apparent boredom as she muttered.
“Hmm, among all the humans I’ve met so far, has there been a party capable of killing Galak?”
Around the Snake Humanoid Woman gathered a Raven Humanoid, a strange foreign species with a face attached to a tree, and an eerie wooden doll-like creature, all shaking their heads at her words.
These were the villains who had recently been attacking C-rank parties.
Galak’s former party members listened with sinister gleaming eyes.
The woman—the Party Leader—looked at them as if demanding a report, and they all spoke.
“No, they were all parties befitting inferior species.”
“Utterly tedious.”
“They were too weak, so I let a few of them go. That way, stronger ones will come calling.”
“Hmm?”
At the Raven Humanoid’s final words, Rachel Lagariell, the Snake Humanoid Woman, narrowed her reptilian eyes and gazed at the Raven Humanoid with interest.
“You’re certain about this, Krol?”
“Of course. Inferior creatures like humans always bring in reinforcements when they can’t handle something themselves. The fact that they captured Gallaclro is proof of their talent. So I suspect they’ll train those ones and bring them here.”
“Hmm.”
“Krol’s right. Everything that’s come out so far has been pathetic.”
“Gallaclro was a stupid Scarecrow, but he was a capable fighter. Anyone strong enough to defeat Gallaclro would have no choice but to lure them out, just as Krol says.”
As the other two reinforced the words of the Raven Humanoid called Krol, Rachel smiled wickedly and set down a dagger she’d drawn from nowhere.
The other three watched in silence, and Rachel spoke as if clarifying a misunderstanding.
“I thought our Krol might have done something foolish.”
“…That’s impossible. I’m different from Gallaclro.”
“Yes, I’ll trust you. This time.”
“…” “…” “…”
Her words, which sounded like a warning that there would be no next time, left all three of them speechless.
Her word was absolute in this party.
Especially since Gallaclro had caused damage to the party through independent actions, they had no choice but to be cautious. As all three fell silent like mice, Party Leader Rachel gazed toward the distant Safe Zone.
Whether information had spread because of the ones Krol had released, no humans were emerging from the Safe Zone anymore.
That irritated her somewhat.
Still, she spoke calmly.
“Let’s wait and see. Whether they come or not.”
At Rachel’s sharp voice, all three held their breath in tension, and in particular, the Raven Humanoid Krol, who had orchestrated this plan, swallowed hard.
Hoping his prediction would prove correct, they continued to wait near the Safe Zone.

Today, our first day using the Special Training Room, everyone was exhausted enough that we ordered massive amounts of food. Even Hanalin wasn’t holding back and was eating voraciously.
Normally she’d eat sparingly out of consideration, but today she couldn’t restrain herself—not gluttonously, but noticeably faster and in greater quantities than usual.
We didn’t go to a restaurant like a Korean BBQ place where they grill things on the spot; instead, we went somewhere with quick ordering. Finding a Chicken Restaurant nearby, we headed there.
With such an enormous order, it didn’t take long for the kitchen to become busy despite the lack of other customers.
Piles of food stacked high and the Dohyun Party rapidly working through them—even though the taste itself was ordinary, after such grueling training, it felt remarkably delicious.
After eating for quite a while, all three of us simultaneously downed the 500ml beers we’d ordered beforehand in one shot.
“Ahhh.” “Phew.” “Ahhhh.”
As all three of us downed our beers in unison and set down our glasses, the staff members, busy as they were, noticed and gave us a light round of applause. The Dohyun Party paid no attention.
While we waited for the rest of our order to arrive, Jiyuchan asked the other two a question.
“So what do you think?”
“About what?”
“About what?”
“About that Villain Party that apparently showed up.”
At Jiyuchan’s words, both Dohyun and Hanalin paused to think before answering.
“If a Mid C-rank Party barely managed to escape and come here…”
“I think they’d be weaker than the Scarecrow in terms of actual feeling, but they’d still have considerable pressure.”
“Hmm. Just as I thought.”
“I need to become stronger than I am now.”
As I spoke, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement. I couldn’t bring myself to say it aloud, but I figured my primary stats needed to reach at least around 70.
Since I’d only gleaned this through Analysis, I couldn’t state it with absolute certainty, but roughly that threshold seemed reasonable.
Besides, Han Muyeol had arranged for me to spar against a Party with comparable strength to that surviving C-rank Party, so assessing my full capabilities would be far easier.
Just as I was saying this, the dishes I’d ordered arrived.
“Your garlic soy sauce chicken and fried chicken are here.”
“Oh, and please add a cheese chicken and hot fried chicken to that.”
I placed an additional order the moment the food arrived, but no one objected. When the staff brought beer without being asked, Hanalin, Jiyuchan, and I all gave thumbs up in approval.
As the conversation died down and we began our chicken feast, the kitchen sprang back into frenzy.
Since we weren’t ordering everything at once but rather placing orders as we went, it was even more chaotic.
The Chicken Restaurant couldn’t help but marvel at the sales figures—the kind you’d see during a World Cup.
As I tore into a freshly arrived chicken neck, I suddenly thought of a way to grow stronger quickly, and I looked at Jiyuchan and Hanalin.
“Should we search for some technique manuals tomorrow?”
