Episode 14

Chapter 14: Advice? (6)

When instructor Shinjiyeon’s voice urgently rang out saying it was an emergency, Team 2’s members all fell into panic, looking bewildered.

It was clearly a different sight from Team 1, which had a stable leader established.

“Wh-what do you mean!?”

“Su-suddenly?”

“A mutation?”

“Wh-what should we do?”

On the other hand, Jiyuchan tried to respond calmly upon hearing that story, but even he couldn’t help feeling nervous.

If he had thought even a little more rationally, he might have realized something was strange, but since she was an instructor he had to trust and follow, Jiyuchan had no choice but to be momentarily deceived.

What should he do in this situation?

After thinking for a while, Jiyuchan stepped forward with effort and said.

“I think it would be best if I take the lead.”

At Jiyuchan’s words, the other Team 2 members agreed that would be good and were pleased, then suddenly looked at Dongwook Park.

Honestly, since Jiyuchan was gentle while Dongwook Park was forceful and somewhat aggressive, it was inevitable that the team members would watch Dongwook Park’s reaction.

As everyone was watching each other’s reactions, Dongwook Park stepped forward and said.

“Then, let’s have Yuchan take the lead and I’ll provide cover from behind.”

“Sounds good.”

Since Dongwook Park agreed, Jiyuchan and the other team members couldn’t help but cheer inwardly. They needed to think about safety now, and fortunately Dongwook Park had bent his stubbornness.

While the team members thought they could finally feel somewhat relieved, although he had agreed, Dongwook Park’s expression was souring.

He had thought he finally became the leader, only to have it taken away again. This wasn’t even a three-day reign – what was this? His anger boiled inside, but what could he do.

‘…I can’t take the front anymore.’

Since he was still scared of taking the lead, with visions of two goblins rushing into his arms and thrusting daggers, Dongwook Park had no choice but to step back.

After Jiyuchan took the lead, things proceeded smoothly.

They discovered traps in time, and when Jiyuchan and Kim Yunjung, who had listened carefully to the trap-related briefing, worked together to disarm them, they could handle them quickly.

With the two of them working together to disarm traps, that also became considerably faster, and they were approaching the exit mentioned in the briefing.

Then Jiyuchan heard a strange presence and stopped the team members.

“Keruk, keruk.”

“Kekek!”

“Keruk.”

Hearing the goblin sounds from afar, Jiyuchan turned around and quietly shared his strategy.

“I don’t know how many there are, but I’ll go first and take down one, then handle another one myself. Dongwook hyung, please handle one, and the other three work together on the remaining goblins. When I join right away, it should be fine no matter how many there are.”

“Yes.”

“Sounds good.”

“We can handle that much.”

While the other team members nodded and quietly responded, Dongwook Park flinched at the mention of goblin sounds and reluctantly nodded at Jiyuchan’s words.

Seeing this, Jiyuchan looked at Dongwook Park with a somewhat puzzled expression.

“Dongwook hyung?”

“…I got it.”

Dongwook Park’s condition seemed strange as he omitted his usual “Yuchan dongsaeng” and just spoke plainly, but thinking he was just nervous, Jiyuchan let it pass.

After Jiyuchan took a combat stance and checked the other team members once, he gave a signal and rushed out first.

Thud thud thud thud.

It was slower compared to Dohyun, but still faster movement than anyone else in Team 2. The goblins were startled by their sudden appearance.

There were five in total. However, since they were sitting separately with distance between them, Jiyuchan could only target one. When he stepped forward and swung his sword, the goblin’s fragile neck was cut and its head flew off in one strike.

Thud.

Pshhhhhh.

In the battlefield where a fountain of blood spurted and the surroundings seemed to turn red like a blood mist, Jiyuchan engaged one goblin and thought.

‘Three left.’

Up to this point, it was according to Jiyuchan’s strategy.

Now if Dongwook Park stepped forward to handle one of the remaining ones and the three of them handled two goblins, it would be perfect when Jiyuchan quickly finished the one he was handling and joined them.

So Jiyuchan called out to Dongwook.

“Dongwook hyung!”

At this moment, Dongwook needed to handle one for the situation to develop as planned.

However, Dongwook Park reacted a beat late to Jiyuchan’s words and shouted loudly.

“Uh, uaaaah!”

Dongwook Park, who rushed forward screaming, had trembling hands, and perhaps unable to face the goblin eye to eye, he squeezed his eyes shut and charged.

Then Dongwook Park swung his steel club wildly.

“Do-Dongwook hyung?!”

“Wh-what are you doing!?”

“Kyaaaah!”

Since he was swinging with his eyes closed, the steel club headed toward the back of Jiyuchan, who was handling one goblin in the narrow path.

Clang!

The steel club that struck Jiyuchan’s back precisely made a heavy sound and sent Jiyuchan flying. The position where he was sent flying happened to be right in the center of the goblins.

“Kugh!”

Although the protective gear had blocked it, Jiyuchan took a precise hit to his back that momentarily compressed his lungs, causing his breathing to collapse.

Moreover, as he was pushed back into the center of the goblins—essentially becoming surrounded by them—his posture crumbled, making it difficult to even block the goblins’ attacks.

A suddenly created opportunity!

The goblins couldn’t let this chance slip by, so even the goblin that had been charging toward Dongwook Park rushed at Jiyuchan with its dagger raised.

Seeing this, the other team members were already in a panic due to the instructor’s emergency broadcast, and once again their minds went blank, unable to move.

“Kyaaaaa!”

“Do, do something!”

“Wh, what do we do!?”

Even at this moment, it might have been fine if Dongwook Park had come to his senses, but having blown Jiyuchan away with the iron club, Dongwook Park saw Jiyuchan surrounded by goblins and remembered the goblins that had charged at him earlier, stuttering and collapsing to the ground.

“Uh, uhhh.”

Even in this completely chaotic situation, Jiyuchan didn’t abandon hope and gripped his sword, swinging it as the Sword King’s intuition guided him.

Rigid swordsmanship dominated the surroundings as he severed one goblin’s neck and blocked the attack of the goblin in front of him.

Then he turned his body and successfully blocked and pushed back even the third goblin’s attack.

However, since his qualifications were still lacking, the Sword King’s intuition could only be partially manifested like Dohyun’s, and as a result.

Thunk!

“Kekekek.”

He had no choice but to allow the attack of the last goblin, which thrust its dagger through a gap in his protective gear.

Moreover, seeing blood gushing out from being stabbed in a bad spot, Jiyuchan couldn’t even scream.

When he moved, the wounded area became hot as if heated by fire, but if he didn’t move, he would die.

So he moved more and swung his sword toward the goblin that had stabbed him, but perhaps because of the dagger wound, he couldn’t produce the same speed and power as before.

Whoosh!

As the goblin quickly retreated backward, his sword missed and couldn’t hit the goblin.

“Kekekek!”

“Kekekek!”

“Kehek!”

Three goblins remained. And Jiyuchan was feeling his limits.

If only he could swing his sword like before, but having been hit in the side, he couldn’t even swing his sword properly.

His team members should have helped, but Jiyuchan looked at the stuttering Dongwook Park and the other team members who couldn’t budge, and let out a bitter laugh at the absurdity.

“Ha.”

The thought arose that it would have been nice if this were really Team 1, and just as he wondered if he would have to take this beating.

Something flew rapidly from the end of the corridor and struck the back of a goblin’s head.

Thunk—

A dagger that struck swiftly and precisely.

Jiyuchan looked at it and wondered where it had come from, raising his head to see Dohyun running toward them as fast as a shadow.

And before the goblin with the dagger in it could even fall, Dohyun arrived and pulled the dagger from the goblin’s head, swinging it toward the other two goblins who had realized their comrade had been hit.

Blue light embroidered the air in a crescent moon shape, and the heads of the two goblins fell to the ground.

At this truly overwhelming sight, Jiyuchan momentarily forgot that his side had been stabbed by a dagger and stared blankly.

Despite entering at the same time, seeing such a difference, he suddenly looked at Dohyun and said.

“How…?”

To Jiyuchan’s question-filled words, Dohyun answered calmly.

“I thought I heard screaming, so I came.”

With the composed breathing and voice that didn’t seem like someone who had just killed three goblins in an instant, Jiyuchan shook his head as if he really couldn’t compete.

He’s really an amazing person.

Dohyun then helped support Jiyuchan, who had collapsed due to his injury, and Jiyuchan obediently accepted Dohyun’s help.

Then suddenly, Jiyuchan looked at Dohyun and was filled with curiosity.

What about the test, and why did he come all the way here to save another team?

Honestly, he couldn’t understand it. To help because it was an emergency situation? Since Dohyun had never been particularly kind to them, he couldn’t believe that Dohyun had come to rescue them.

Jiyuchan asked Dohyun.

“What about the test? Why did you come to help us first?”

Could it be that he abandoned his own test and came just in case?

Just as Jiyuchan was inwardly admiring him, thinking he was truly a noble person, Dohyun answered as if asking what kind of nonsense that was.

“Huh? I passed the test and came back to save you.”

“…?”

Jiyuchan looked at Dohyun with an absurd expression, like someone who had heard something ridiculous.

It was an answer he couldn’t even imagine.

Meanwhile, Dohyun was.

‘Why is he acting like this?’

He was puzzled, seeing Jiyuchan’s expression suddenly change.
