I woke up the next day at 4.45. After washing my face and putting on relaxed clothes, and taking the normal bow I got from Gorsaeth, I exited my tent and went to the place where we had decided to meet yesterday with miss Shauna. When I arrived there, I saw I miss Shauna had already come and was watching the forest while listening to the sounds of birds chirping. “It looks beautiful, isn’t it? They have their life in their hands and can go anywhere they want. They can fly in the skies and move from one land to another. I wish I were a bird with his wings intact too.” She said with a slightly melancholic voice. And after that, turn his face to me and smiled. “Good morning; it seems like you are really serious about learning about the bow. I hope you don’t lose this enthusiasm at the end of the training.” She said with a smirk. “Good morning, miss Shauna, and don’t worry, I won’t lose my enthusiasm. You can be sure about it.” I replied with a smirk as well. “I don’t think it is a

If you don’t want to read it, you can skip it since it won’t affect the story too much; however, if you are not against it, I suggest you read it to understand some details better. ------------------------------------------------------0---------------------------------------------------------- Is there anything in this world you can get for free? I don’t believe there exists something like that. In this world, everything you get has a price. If someone helps you for free, he or she most likely has a profit from helping you. In my case, why did Shauna teach me how to use a bow? It was because she was eyeing me from the start. While we were traveling in the truck, I observed all the things she did, both consciously and unconsciously. In the first place, either she is the wife of Adrian just on paper, or there is a deep rift in their
After that hot and steamy shower session with Shauna, I put on a turtleneck sweater and left my tent. ‘It seems like tonight will be a long night. But I don’t understand what is wrong with their relationship. I didn’t ask at that time not to screw up the mood, but I am curious.’ I thought like that and started picking up the tent since we would be leaving after we finished our breakfast. I don’t want to repeat it, but this merchant is really generous to our convoy. I have never seen this kind of variety in my life, neither as a Joshua nor as a Darius. There were three different types of bacon, four different types of cheese, and the list goes on. With that open buffet breakfast, the atmosphere was vivacious, and everyone started eating while talking. It was just like yesterday, aside from the fact that Hannah was sitting near me. She came to my side, sat beside me, and initiated a conversation. “Good morning; how was your sleep? Were you comfortable in the truck yesterday?” Sh
After the talk I had with Shauna, I walked to the first truck. In the front, Hannah was waiting for me, and with her accompany, I went in and started observing the differences between the first one and the third one. Well, there isn’t much difference aside from that; the first truck is more spacious than another one. There is also a small serving kitchen in this truck, and aside from that, it is not much different. Sitting near the window, Hannah sat beside me, and we started talking about this and that. However, when I asked why she wanted to be an adventurer, she delved really deep. “Why do you want to be an adventurer so much so that you are pushing the chance to inherit your father’s company?” “You know, since my father is a merchant, we were always traveling all over the country to make our business bloom. In the first place, my father’s parents were farmers, so at the beginning, we didn’t have much money to invest in our business. Therefore, my father was always working,
The moment we saw bandits coming closer, Adrian immediately jumped from the truck while instructing Harvey to stay in the truck to protect us in case someone came here. As you may already expect, Adrian is a C rank, and if the enemy doesn’t have any person on the C rank or above, it will be very hard for them to handle Adrian alone. And generally speaking, it is very hard to find some bandit group with lots of C rank members. So, assuming that, he directly started attacking the enemy. I must say the coordination of the party is very good. The moment Adrian started to charge the enemy, Shauna also started firing arrows at the enemy rangers as well. Even though Adrian is a C rank human, it would still be impossible for him to take on approximately 20 enemies by himself while constantly getting hit by the spells and arrows the enemy rearguard fired. So, Shauna didn’t give the rearguard much free time and kept attacking while trying to interrupt their chant. However, are all the ba
After everyone got together, the white-haired man started to command everyone.He was like a temporary leader of the group.“Shauna, you will keep firing arrows at the enemy rangers. As we always do in fights, I will go and help Adrian, and Russel will be the main firepower of our group.”A white-haired man named Harvey instructed the rest of the group.“Mister Euan, have you contacted the nearest adventurer guild?”“Yes, I have. They said the reinforcements would arrive in at most 30 minutes.”Even though he was not a fighter, the merchant was strangely calm.“Hey, kids, does any of you know how to fight?”A white-haired man asked again to the youths of the convoy.“I can use a bow, but I can damage at most E ranks. I can’t deal too much damage if the enemy’s strength exceeds E.A boy with black hair and black eyes said while looking at the eyes of the white-haired man.“Okay, you will stay in this place and keep firing arrows with Shauna. The moment I leave this wagon, the command w
When I foresaw the attack, I instantly dodged while activating [Lunar Rush].If I reacted a bit late, my head would be rolling right now because the person in front of me is F- rank.I don’t understand. I haven’t observed this guy while sweeping all the fighting areas.Either he was hiding very well, or he is a part of reinforcements for bandits.If it is the latter, then we are in a very dangerous position. Since it is already hard for us to deal with them, if their numbers increased, I don’t think we would be able to leave this place without losing someone.Anyway, right now is not the time for me to worry about others. I should focus on surviving this guy first.Since he is an F- rank, there will be a huge stat gap, so direct confrontation must be avoided as much as possible.While I was thinking, he immediately attacked me while using the sword in his hand.I instantly dashed back to dodge while drawing my daggers.After that, he followed me with a swing attack./CLANK!/Since I c
After I returned to the first truck, the convoy started to move again. Although the aftermath of the attack wasn’t that big physically, its effects on the convoy were quite detrimental. From the looks of personnel and the merchant-daughter duo, it looks like we will take a break from traveling, at least for today. And it seems my observations were right. The moment I thought that, I heard Euan instructing the driver. “We will stay in the closest city for today, change the route accordingly and give a brief after reaching the city.” While we were going to the city, I decided to observe the rewards I got from the quest. It looks like the system is encouraging me to become a ranged fighter. In the first place, even though I don’t hate going for close combat, my body constitution is clearly a setback for me in these types of fights. So, I do
