"if what you say is what you feel then I will do you the favor of carrying out one more test, this time I want you to think not only on how to defend against my attack but also on what you told me earlier, your desire to meet up to the expectations of those relying on you. Focus your thoughts on that area and boldly confront my sword, can you do that""I will try""no do it, because if you don't you will forever be a failure, the expectations of the Saintess on you will be no more because I will tell her how useless you are so do your hardest not to fail okay""...., man that's a lot of pressure you are putting on me but also just the right medicine to wake me up from my slumber, bring it on".I held my head up and watched for the fourth time as she made her way towards me with her sheated sword,this time around I prayed deep within me and mustered up all the courage I could as I concentrated my thoughts on not disappointing the saintess.I kept thinking and looking for ways that can
"hmm......, that is actually impossible. Ability are not as common as you think, it takes a lot of hard work and effort to awaken an ability and there are some that spend the entirety of their lifetime trying but did not succeed. Only one in a million can be lucky enough to awaken an ability, that is how rare it is"."The presumption of you Awakening to two ability is absurd and impossible, Is what I would like to say, but tpaking your title as a hero into account, it is not entirely impossible for you to have awakened to two ability"."i did not know abilities were that rare, one in a million?""how were you supposed to know if you did not ask""....""if ability is as rare as you say, what about my case""you are a hero with the blessings of the Goddess which makes you an exception to the rareness of abilities, it was a given for you to awaken an ability, what I did not expect is two ability to awaken and at the same time at that"."if you really did awaken to two ability, you can c
"Hilma, do you know a place where we can get books on martial arts""unfortunately for us, the hero we placed our hopes on has no formal training and sucks even with the basics, to rectify this misfortune we need to buy a basic martial arts book and have him learn from it". "instead of sugarcoating your words, why don't you just be more open and directly tell me how useless I am""thank the heavens that you are also aware of how useless you are""you and I, for how long do we have to be at each other's throat, can't we just get along like normal human beings do""I am all for getting along but how am I supposed to do that when the one burdened with the responsibility of saving my world is as useless as it gets"".....""Hilma, about the bookstore" "ye..yes, I do know of one where you can get what you need" "thanks, that will be very helpful".*we went back to the city and walked the streets with our destination being the bookstore that Hilma is leading us to."Hilma I am curious, d
"no matter what you say is going to be valid because eventually, the decision lies entirely on Hilma's choices. I believe she has a choice to decide if she wants to work as an S Rank or an F rank, you of all people have no right to criticize her no what decision she makes""you are wrong, I do have a right to criticize her. I am a soldier, and my duty as a soldier is to protect my nation. She is a mercenary, as a mercenary, her duty is to protect the lives and properties of the ordinary citizens. The ranks her assigned to work the mercenaries efficiently according to their strengths"." If she wanted to live a normal life, she shouldn't have joined the mercenary guild to begin with, because a mercenary's job is to devote themselves to the ordinary citizens, it is a place where the concerns of the citizens are placed first and your needs are second. How can she join such an organization and still hope to live her dreams?, people like you are the reasons why the rules are being neglecte
"eeeee...., enough the both of you, getting into an argument because of me is making me feel even worse about myself"".....!!""I am sorry Hilma, it was not my intention to make you feel bad""it.., it is okay. I understand very well what miss Adne is saying, as an S Rank mercenary, it is my duty to be active at the front but because of my nature of being a timid person I haven't had the chance to do that""I am trying to change that nature in me, that is why when I saw the Recruitment poster belonging to the holy church, stating that a party is needed to escort an important personnel, I immediately applied for it with the hopes of becoming a more outgoing person"."miss Adne, you must be having some discomfort with me but please bear with it until I can turn my timid habit around".".......""Hilma...., my dear Hilma, how can anybody think to have malice with a soul as beautiful as yours?...""ahem....., I am sorry, I did not think of your situation and was being self centered"."it
I ended up buying the bowmanship basic martial arts and unarmed combat basic martial arts.After we were done picking, we payed the cashier and made our way back to the guild to do some quest. "It is not like I ended up being summoned to a murim world so why the hell do I have to learn all this things""you wouldn't have had to if you had already learned it to begin with""yes, yes miss. You are the boss. But why are we going to the guild first instead of me trying to practice the basics martials book I just got""we have not accepted any quest since two days ago, long duration of not completing any guild quest can cause the guild to nullify our guild card, if a guild card is nullified that person will never be able to work as a mercenary ever again". "what, they can do that""yes, this is to prevent the mercenaries from being too lazy""a fine tactics for persuading hard headed workers".*"bang!!""you are back, hmm......., I see you are still alive""you snitch..., why am I not su
"an arch Taratect spider is not just one monster, it is a ferocious and dangerous monster. In the mercenary guideline books of monsters to fear, they are rated among the top ten""hmm...., big deal, they are strong is what you are trying to say isn't it. I know and I have heard you but that does not explain how they were able to drastically increase their rank""An arch Taratect is an S with two plus in front, to hunt it down successfully you will need to have at least four to five S Rank mercenaries. Those three defeated the S++ rank Arch Taratect and at the same time protected the people in the city with not a single human casualties noted. Now tell me, do you still think they do not deserve to be promoted to immediate S rank""......""I take back what I said, they do, they really do"."exactly. After their achievements, the people of Brackhill city celebrated them as heroes and a feast was held in their honor. The nobles of Grekha kingdom are doing whatever they can to have them o
