Chapter 32

"......What? A disciple?"

Disciple. It was a word that made Seo Gangrim suspect his ears. To take Yoon Bom, a national representative athlete in Archery, as a disciple. It was an absurd story that made no sense.

"Hyung, me too! Please take me as your disciple."

When Seo Gangrim did not respond, Yoon Geoul also interjected in the conversation. He spoke with a burning enthusiasm in his eyes.

"I would be better than my sister, right? Please take me as your disciple."

"What nonsense? I'm better than Yoon Geoul!"

The two of them bickered about becoming disciples, and Seo Gangrim silently watched them. What a chaotic situation.

Seo Gangrim tried to calm them down a bit and said, "I don't have the skills to teach you two."

"No, it's not true! Oppa, you're an amazing person!"

"That's right. You even saved my life. There's so much we want to learn!"

Even in the face of Seo Gangrim’s refusal, they were persistent. While there was a need to become somewhat closer with the two of them, becoming their mentor was another matter. In the midst of it, Shin Sooah, with an amused expression, looked at them and said, "Should I join too?"

"What are you saying?"

"Let me be your disciple, Seo Gangrim-ssi."

"What?" Seo Gangrim couldn't believe his ears and asked in disbelief.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

Shin Sooah looked at him like that and smiled faintly, saying, "I'm just kidding. Did you actually consider taking me as your disciple?"

It was a funny story. Seo Gangrim couldn't even imagine himself being her disciple, much less the other way round. Instead of answering, he stood up from his seat.

"Oppa, where are you going?"

"It's too noisy here. I'll go sleep somewhere else."

Since he had already lit the Mansoo incense, demons wouldn't come near the campfire even if he wasn't present there. He turned away from the three of them and headed towards the forest, leaving behind the three to converse among themselves.

"Do you know what that is?"

"What is it?"

"It's a tsundere..."

【Oh, I see. Tsundere, huh?】

【Yeah, that's Seo Gangrim.】

【Ah, I get it now. It's exactly like Seo Gangrim.】

Ignoring the commotion of the gods, Seo Gangrim continued walking. Within the deeper of the forest, Seo Gangrim opened the shop window. There was an item that he had to purchase here.

[Purchased item 'Demon World Map.']

After completing the purchase, a single map fell into his hands. When he unfolded the map, it displayed the paths he had taken so far. This place, known as the Blade Forest, was an endless forest with no distinctive features which made it easy to get lost in. Of course, the map wasn't detailed enough to provide accurate information. It only showed the overall shape, and the map would only record the path he had already traversed. Nevertheless, just that alone was a great help in this place, so it was one of the items that he had to buy.

-Ptooh!

However, it seemed like it didn't like the taste and immediately spat it out. Even so, he couldn't feed it anything else. Hence, Seo Gangrim forced it to eat the leaf, and it resisted a few times but eventually chewed and swallowed the leaf. He then checked the message window.

[The Wood attribute and Gold attribute of '??? Egg' increase by 0.4% each.]

[Growth Progress: 0.4%]

He had to feed it diligently if he wanted it to grow. It was a bit troublesome to pay attention to it all the time, but it was worth it for an egg with this level of value. It would be good to hatch it as soon as possible, but it seemed that it would hatch in the next stage at the earliest. In the meantime, the gods who saw the Mystery egg went crazy.

【What is that? Isn't that a Mystery Egg?】

【I was wondering what the egg was, and it turns out to be a Mystery Egg?】

【Where did that come from?】

【The more I see this brat's egg, the more I'm tempted.】

Ignoring the voices that clamored at him, he gave food to the egg. The problem was that it kept refusing.

-Ptooh!

Seo Gangrim forcefully made it eat even when it kept spitting it out. He couldn't let it ruin things by eating something else. Whether it was because it was full or it got tired, the egg closed its mouth after he fed it a bush or two. It didn't seem to have any intention of eating anymore today. It looked a bit gloomy, but there was nothing Seo Gangrim could do about it.

He had cleared the vicinity, and before he knew it, the night had deepened, and the full moon was hanging above his head. Seo Gangrim climbed up a nearby tree and took a seat. From there, he could see where Shin Sooah was and could easily assess the surroundings.

【Why aren't you joining them? Aren't you comrades?】

【Or is Gangrim playing hard to get?】

【Ah... so this is what they call tsundere.】

The gods were still chattering.

Seo Gangrim heard that when his stats rose a bit more, it would be possible to control their chatter to some extent.

【But why sleep on a tree?】

【You'll get hurt like that. But if you receive my Divine Blessing with me...!】

The tree was covered in blade-like leaves, and if the wind blew even once, it was obvious that he would be cut. To remedy this, Seo Gangrim took out a large fur from his inventory. It was the skin of the tiger that he obtained in a cave. Its skin was strong against blades and could easily block the blade-like leaves. He draped the fur over himself and looked towards the direction of the campfire.

"Geoul, why are you so careless, just like last time? Be more cautious!"

"Ah, stop nagging! I'm reflecting, okay?"

Yoon Bom and Yoon Geoul seemed to be fighting again. Shin Sooah just watched them without trying to stop them. Having brought some preserved rations as an emergency, she was eating them instead. It reminded Seo Gangrim of the time when they were in the Flying Tiger Sect. Fighting with Yu Harang, stopping Jang Taeheon, and Shin Sooah just watching and laughing. It was a normal routine for things to quiet down only after Kang Dohyun scolded them.

【Why are you just watching?】

【Because he's playing hard to get.】

【Why does Gangrim always wander alone?】

【Maybe that's his concept.】

Ignoring the gods who were chattering as they pleased, Seo Gangrim simply watched over them. Before he knew it, the night grew deeper, and Yoon Geoul and Yoon Bom fell asleep first, while Shin Sooah wanted to stay up indefinitely.

As the night grew even deeper, Seo Gangrim opened his eyes upon hearing the sound of the demon approaching from nearby. Since he had set up the Mansoo incense, the monsters should not have come. However, dangerous things in this area were not limited to just monsters. In the darkness, enemies were not easily distinguishable, so Seo Gangrim increased his senses.

['Senses' has increased to level 18.]

He slowly opened his eyes and looked down at the forest. Something was rushing in the darkness.
