Vol 5 Chapter 39
He could disguise himself as a swordsman easily enough. He had done it several times before, so it was familiar now, and since Superior's magic swordsmanship gave a similar feeling to a swordsman's aura, they wouldn't think he was too weak to be accepted into the party. Even though he couldn't have disguised himself as a swordsman until recently because he didn't have a sword, now he had 'that'... It was perfect.
Having made up his mind, Kapros found a place where users looking for parties gathered. In any place like this, around areas where monsters congregate, there are always users hoping to form parties for hunting.
Come to think of it, a party. This would be the first time since he first met Yu-wan, wouldn't it? As he was walking around feeling a renewed sense of nostalgia, suddenly he heard a sound of surprise from behind. Instinctively feeling it was directed at him, he turned around to see a man with a scruffy beard that didn't suit his young face pointing at him with a surprised expression.
"Huh? You there. Could it be, from the Bistale Colosseum..."
Kapros didn't remember the man, but hearing the mention of the Bistale Colosseum, he suddenly recalled it was where Kran had died. Then he also remembered that some guy had been very noisy and followed him around once before, and he felt that the face vaguely remaining in his memory somewhat resembled the man in front of him.
'Let's go with this guy.'
Having decided that, Kapros quickly approached the man to prevent him from saying anything unnecessary, raised his hand as if to shake hands, and while imagining a small electric image in his mind, he muttered inaudibly inside his mouth.
"Lightning Bolt."
Zap!
Seeing the man's mouth open as if about to let out a small scream of surprise, Kapros slightly reduced the intensity and spoke.
"How nice to see you in a place like this. Your name is...?"
"No, what the hell are you... Urghhhh!"
"It shouldn't even hurt, so don't make a fuss."
"Are you doing this because I recognized you?! I just pretended to know you because I saw your face... Guhack! ...Okay, okay! I'm sorry, I'll be quiet, alright!"
Looking at the man writhing from the electric current crackling all over his body, Kapros quickly began asking for the necessary information.
"Your name?"
"Ro... Robb."
"Robb, huh..."
He didn't remember hearing that name... Wasn't he the guy he seemed to have met before? But this guy clearly pretended to know him when he saw Kapros, so where had he seen him? Seeing Kapros's puzzled look, the man's face turned bright red and he shouted angrily.
"Not Robb, it's Rob! Rob!"
[ Puhahahahaha! ]
Kapros heard Superior, who had been quiet since coming to the mountains, laugh uproariously, but he ignored it.
"Ah, right."
"By the way, the two people who were with you there at that time, they didn't come with you? Where..."
"That's enough."
After giving a brief warning to the man who was trying to run his mouth unnecessarily again, Kapros lowered his voice and asked a question.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well, of course, it's to recruit party members..."
The expected answer came back.
"Destination?"
When Kapros asked for final confirmation, the man rolled his eyes suspiciously and answered.
"To the newly discovered Puerican habitat near De Gorka..."
Bingo. Somehow, as soon as he saw this guy, he thought this was it, and his luck was good. Kapros smiled with satisfaction, let go of the man's hand, and patted him on the back.
"That party, I'd like to join too."
Chow kept looking back with an uncomfortable expression. And each time, he quickly turned his head forward again, lest he make eye contact with the gloomy man in a black robe who was leisurely following at the back of the group.
He knew he shouldn't pay attention to it, but he couldn't help it. Unable to do anything else, he could only relieve his anxiety by taking out his frustrations on the friend who had brought that man along.
"Hey, Rob. What's the deal with that guy? He hasn't said a word since earlier! Does he really have any skills?"
"I told you, he does! I saw it myself."
"Then why doesn't he have a sword if he's a swordsman?"
"Maybe he's hiding it somewhere! How should I know?"
"How can you not know when you're the one who brought him?"
"You're so suspicious, really!"
After being asked the same questions several times, Rob, who had been wearing a grumpy expression unlike his usual smooth demeanor since bringing the man along, shouted angrily in a low voice. At that moment, Blue Lady, the boomerang fighter walking beside them, chimed in with a sarcastic tone.
"I agree with Chow-nim. Even if we agreed that we'd take care of the front and he'd handle the rear, if monsters only keep appearing in front, he should at least pretend to help. Totally shameless! Plus, if you look closely, that man keeps muttering something! Ugh! I'm only holding back because I think he'd look even gloomier if he took off that robe, otherwise I would have torn it off long ago."
Blue Lady, who had shuddered, continued with an irritated face.
"You know this is completely freeloading, right? I can't stand such bad manners."
They were users confident enough in their own abilities to enter these Orgen Mountains. Therefore, while it wasn't difficult for them to defeat monsters, they couldn't help but feel angry seeing the black-robed man leisurely following at the rear.
"Um... please don't fight... We don't know when monsters might appear..."
Evan, a high-level priest as rare as a high-circle mage, spoke up hesitantly, but his words, which had lacked presence since joining the party, were immediately ignored by the others.
"Anyway, I'll watch a little longer, and if that person keeps acting like this, then I'll say something!"
"Ah, do as you like."
At Blue Lady's firm declaration, Rob waved his hand, gesturing for her to do as she pleased.
For Rob, who had been thoroughly zapped by the electric attack earlier, it seemed like a good idea if she took care of it instead, but Blue Lady seemed to be even more annoyed by this gesture. She snorted and strode forward, tightly gripping two boomerangs with blades on the inside.

Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea's Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties.
"Do you know how it feels to play a game that's already messed up? ...Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I'm just going to play it recklessly."
In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn't sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.
"I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram."
And then there's Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram's side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It's impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won't let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.
"For now, until then, let's sleep..."
As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.
'I thought this was a messed-up round... but I want to live a little longer here.'
Leonardo Blaine, the true war hero of the Raina Logia Empire and the commander of the Armsilver 11th Squad, is dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders during the final battle that could have led the Empire to victory in the territorial war. People criticize and point fingers at him, and after being released on parole from prison, he disappears without a trace.
Three years later, his name has been forgotten by the world. The Council has been persistently pursuing him, but he has proven difficult to capture. Frustrated by this, Hugo Agrizendro, the commander of the Council's army, decides to personally apprehend him.
"Since when have you been watching me?"
Leonardo was calculative and astute, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had been observing Hugo for some time now. However, Leonardo's answer was something that even Hugo had not anticipated.
"From the very beginning."
