Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad - Chapter 31

A dark room.

Choi Hyun-seok was letting out strange groans.

“Ugh…Aye! Aye! Ah…you’re moving too fast…”

Bobo affectionately licks Choi Hyun-seok’s face.

Choi Hyun-seok’s body squirmed as he continued to talk nonsense.

“Aye! Hold on…you’re too aggressive…”

Choi Hyun-seok’s face was completely covered with saliva.

Whatever he was dreaming of, his face was flushed red.

Rachel, who was next to him, had a look of beyond disgust.

“Whew…Ah…not here…”

“W-what are you saying? You crazy perverted hero!”

Rachel reflexively hit Choi Hyun-seok across the nose.

Choi Hyun-seok, who was hit on the nose unexpectedly, opened his eyes wide.

“Fuck!”

Choi Hyun-seok jumped up cursing.

After opening his eyes, he looked around with a puzzled look.

“Uh…what?”

“What else? You were dreaming.”

“Dreaming?”

He had a dumbfounded look on his face as if he had yet to grasp the situation.

“

Rachel furrowed her eyebrows and interrogated Choi Hyun-seok.

“Hero! What the hell were you dreaming about?”

“Uh, that…”

After some consideration, Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.

“N-nothing at all.”

The fact that he was dreaming about Abel running into his arms is something he can’t say even if he has a knife to his throat.

Not to mention Rachel’s disgusted gaze, maybe he’ll be taken away for blasphemy.

Choi Hyun-seok decided to change the subject.

“Ahem, anyway, what happened? How am I back at my home all of a sudden?”

His memory was faint because he lost consciousness at the end of the duel.

He thought perhaps he defeated Kurken, but he wasn’t sure.

“Hero won the duel and blacked out immediately. The bullhead moved hero here.”

“Really?”

“Yes. There was also the Saintess, but she said she was done with the treatment so she just left.”

Rachel clicked her tongue as if it bothered her.

Rachel who was muttering under her breath saying she could have done the treatment…Choi Hyun-seok ignored her.

“Anyway, you’re saying I won?”

“Yes. Hero won.”

Only then did Choi Hyun-seok sigh with relief.

“I really thought I was going to die this time…”

Now that he thinks about it, it was absolute nonsense.

Kurken’s combat power was over 10,000.

On top of that, Hemi even injected him with her magi.

He won against a guy like that.

He can only chalk it up as a miracle.

“Is Kurken dead?”

“Yes. His body melted with his head stuck in the ground.”

“Is that so…”

“Why do you ask?”

She wondered if Choi Hyun-seok was feeling guilty for killing someone.

However, Rachel’s worry was immediately put to rest.

“I thought I might have leveled up.”

“Oh…yeah…”

Choi Hyun-seok was just wondering if he had received any experience.

The experience would be quite a lot If it was judged that Choi Hyun-seok got the kill.

Choi Hyun-seok immediately opened his status window.

Name: Choi Hyun-seok
Title: Hero Candidate
Level: 212
Strength: 80
Agility: 77
Stamina: 82
Mana: 81
Charisma: 30
Bonus Point: 12
Hero point: 450
Ability: Pickaxe (C), Leadership (E), Cooking (F), Mana Control (D)
Skill: Reidrun’s Speculation

Choi Hyun-seok smiled brightly when he saw the status window.

“I leveled up!”

His level increased as expected.

And not just one or two but twelve levels.

Aside from leveling up, his Mana and Stamina increased by one, and for some reason his Charisma increased by three.

Also, there was something else that Choi Hyun-seok was most pleased about.

“Mana Control…It wasn’t my imagination.”

Mana Control (D).

It was (F) before the duel.

It wasn’t his imagination that it increased by two grades during the duel.

“Huh… is this possible?”

“What?”

“My Mana Control went from F to D grade during the duel. Is it supposed to be this easy to grow?”

“What!? That can’t be true!”

Rachel shook with a stunned look on her face.

“That’s completely unprecedented! It’s worth writing in a hero textbook!”

“Is it that amazing?”

“Of course! It was amazing that you learned to control mana in just a few days, but to promote it two grades in just one day? If I tell others, I’m sure they’ll tell me not to lie.”

“Oho…”

He didn’t feel bad to be praised so enthusiastically.

“As expected of the hero with SSS-grade potential! But what’s your secret?”

“Secret?”

“I’ve heard that there’s usually some kind of stimulus for such explosive growth.”

“Stimulus…”

Choi Hyun-seok shook his head after thinking for a while.

“Well, I wanted to live.”

He can never bring up the Abel story.

The moment he says he awakened because he wanted to go on a date,

The look of envy from Rachel will turn into one of disgust.

“Anyway, isn’t it enough that I won?”

“Yes. Haha!”

As a result, he was able to live another day with his dignity.

“Oh, I should invest my bonus points before I forget. I should distribute it evenly, right?”

“That’s fine.”

Choi Hyun-seok distributed all 12 points, with most going to his relatively low Agility.

He checked his stats again.

Level: 212
Strength: 83
Agility: 83
Stamina: 83
Mana: 83
Charisma: 30

After he invested all the bonus points, unfortunately, it only hit 83.

“It’s okay.”

Seeing his clean looking stats made him feel good for some reason.

When Choi Hyun-seok stood up.

Pa.

Something fell to the floor.

“A note?”

Choi Hyun-seok picked up the paper that had fallen down.

His face stiffened after he opened the beautifully folded note.

“This…”

There was something completely unexpected written on the paper.

[See you tomorrow evening in the castle courtyard.]

An appointment.

Choi Hyun-seok’s face, which had stiffened, turned red.

“Huhuhu…Huhuhu…”

He couldn’t help but giggle like an idiot.

Watching from the side, Rachel’s mouth widened.

Rachel, who had her cheeks puffed up in an exaggerated manner, suddenly shouted.

“Hero!!!”

“Gosh! Why are you yelling!? I’m not deaf.”

“You were smiling from ear to ear. Why are you so happy!?”

“W-what are you talking about? This is…a note for a duel!”

“A duel!? Are you going to have a kissing duel!?”

“No…!”

“Humph! Hero, I saw the note while you daydreaming!”

Choi Hyun-seok, who was trying to escape, gave a defeated look.

“You should have told me that first.”

“Anyway, hero!!!”

“What?”

“Do you like her that much?”

Choi Hyun-seok’s cheeks became flushed by the straightforward question.

“N-no…”

She thought the way such a huge muscular man turned his head with a shy look was disgusting.

“What do you mean no! You think I don’t know you talked to her while you were fighting the orc?”

“Hmm! Why ask if you already knew?”

Choi Hyun-seok, who was caught, decided to go out confidently.

‘There’s no reason for me to yield, is there?’

He is a hero and Rachel is a fairy.

In the first place, Rachel had said it herself when he was sent to this world.

“Wait a minute…wasn’t it you who said it? Didn’t you say I can have wealth, honor, and beauties if I go to this world?”

He remembers clearly.

[Wealth! Honor! Beauties! A hero can do anything!]

He fell for Rachel’s sales pitch, so it was impossible not to remember.

Choi Hyun-seok felt more and more victimized.

“What the hell have I gotten since I came here!?”

The only thing he has gotten so far in this world was the bullhead’s affection.

“I don’t even want anything grand anymore…”

Choi Hyun-seok, who was muttering with a miserable look on his face, suddenly widened his eyes.

“Just a relationship!”

“…”

“I came to this world and have been rolling around like a dog and now I’m going to see the light!! Eh!? I’m going to meet her! Is that a problem!?”

His eyes were unusually bright.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

“All right, calm down…”

Rachel carefully backed off.

She had no choice but to admit her fault for provoking him.

‘He’s totally crazy…’

The vengeful bachelor’s spirit was more powerful than she had thought.

“Yaya! And also bunny-like children!”

“Kyaak! You’re spitting everywhere!”

“Dudududu!”

Choi Hyun-seok made a fuss all the way into the night.

* * *

Abel Marriott was thinking about Choi Hyun-seok.

Her evaluation of Choi Hyun-seok can be summed up in one word.

‘Strange.’

Her first impression of him is certainly terrible.

He suddenly called her an angel and asked for a kiss.

She didn’t think there could be such a crazy person.

However, she found out that it was a misunderstanding.

After watching Choi Hyun-seok train, her mind gradually changed.

‘He’s not normal in many ways.’

Choi Hyun-seok was even crazier than she had thought.

He persisted while being beaten.

In addition, his talent was so great that he not only learned Mana Control in three days, but he also learned Speculation.

Abel knew how very ridiculous that was.

‘It usually takes more than a month for a formal knight to learn Speculation.’

On the other hand, she saw firsthand how Choi Hyun-seok had only learned how to use mana.

Such a person learned Speculation right after?

In other words, it was like a baby who had just taken their first step suddenly jumped up and did a backflip.

And Choi Hyun-seok was someone who did such a crazy thing.

‘It’s impossible even if he’s a hero.’

She has seen many heroes.

There were certainly some incomprehensible things among them that transcends common sense.

However, Abel was convinced.

Choi Hyun-seok’s talent eclipse all heroes.

‘He’s interesting.’

Abel understood.

Choi Hyun-seok is a completely unexpected variable to her.

It was not from an already established system, but one inside an extraordinary place called the demon army.

His power can be more valuable because he has grown up without knowing the limitations.

‘Someday…Maybe he will turn the entire world upside down.’

She knew the possibility is infinitely close to zero, but still, it was the only hope.

So she accepted Choi Hyun-seok’s request the day before the duel.

[Could you please pray to God once for me? As long as he makes sure I survive tomorrow.]

Abel, who hadn’t prayed in a long time, prayed to God.

She wanted to help the crazy hero.

And she saw firsthand the result.

However, she didn’t know whether God really listened to her prayer, or whether she had awakened the crazy hero’s potential.

It doesn’t matter either way.

Choi Hyun-seok turned the duel around.

Even Abel didn’t think Choi Hyun-seok could win.

That alone was enough reason for her to talk to him.

Squeak…

Abel opened the door.

Guards were standing there with a threatening look.

“What is it?”

They were Reidrun’s direct subordinates.

On the surface, it looks like they would beat her at any moment, but Abel knew that wasn’t the case.

The guards weren’t more intimidating than they needed to be.

Rather, it can be said that the treatment is generous for a prisoner.

They readily accepted her request to go see the duel.

“I have a request.”

“What?”

“I want to go for a walk.”

The time for the date has finally arrived.
