Chapter 3 (1/2)
This was an unexpected developic Swordsman class 2 years from now, and the people who knew this location could be counted on one hand
'He said he wanted to be a greater hero than I was…'
However, this class definitely had a liic Swordsht that he chose me as his role model
'I can understand where he's co from'
The path that I once walked was a treacherous one Would Minshi+k be able to walk the sae as I would be able to act freely behind the scenes After organizing hts, I calmly turned my eyes on Minshi+k
Minshi+k backed away and spoke
”You… are you…?”
”What are youon about? Co there like a buffoon! Do you knohat time it is?”
Yawn!
I let out a yawn, and I turned esture However, I was observing Minshi+k's every action through the mirror in front of me If he decided to attack me, I would be able to respond instantaneously
'Even a stone bridge has to be checked for cracks before crossing'
I wanted to believe him But I had to be one hundred percent sure Since he had already associated himself with evil before, I had to be sure if Minshi+k truly wanted to atone for his sins
'It hasn't been long since his awakening'
No more than one or two days should've passed since his awakening He would be slightly stronger than the average person If it cae due to my extensive combat experience Minshi+k tilted his head in confusion towards my exposed backside and hesitantly stepped inside my house
A slight wariness He was cautious but couldn't be absolutely certain of the situation I nonchalantly walked tothe lass
”Woah, what happened to you?”
”I went hiking in the mountains for some exercise”
I smirked
”You went to the ”
I handed hilass of juice, but Minshi+k did not take a sip It seeh he was more nervous than me
”Hansung, forget about me What happened to you? Why are you…?”
”Mr Yang came over”
”You didn't tell him you would follow him?”
Minshi+k stood up abruptly with startled expression His actions were sincere; no members of Aletheia would show this type of behavior
'That's a relief'
His actions were instantaneous without any conscious deception It was a piece of evidence of hi any malicious intentions for now
”Why would I follow him? You told me he was after my parent's insurance money”
”You changed your mind with just my advice…?”
”I closely observed Mr Yang, and I think you were right He was not his usual self when he visited my house”
Minshi+k closed his ed the course of the future with his warning back then? I continued
”If I don't get a hold ofafterawayyou back then, you knoasn't in the right mind”
This was an apology for when I violently assaulted Minshi+k for coy to hihtly stunned expression after hearing me speak
This was the first time he experienced the so-called butterfly effect It was easy to understand his bewilder his blank face, I slowly raisedmy head
”Ugh, I'oosebumps Hurry up and wash yourself It looks like you were kicked out of your house You can stay here for the night if you have nowhere else to sleep There's no need to hide anything between us”
”That's not it…”
Minshi+k was pondering What conclusion would he co a drastic transformation of me from my past self There was a chance he would beco time
”Yeah? Anyways, what's that piece of paper you have there? It looks really old,”
Slap!
It was the syic swordsman As I extended my hand towards the worn parchment, Minshi+k abruptly slapped my hand away I wrinkled my eyebrows and opened my mouth
”Hey! What are you doing?”
Minshi+k hid the parchment in his pocket with haste
”Y, you can't have this”
”Who said I was stealing it? Why did you hit me?”
”Do not touch this”
Minshi+k's face turned aggressive I raised both of my arms up to show that I meant no harm
”Alright, alright You're one funny bastard”
After eyeing me for a while, Minshi+k harrumphed and sat down
He finally drank the glass of juice I brought him and subsequently took out an ite one Minshi+k handed my a talisman with a smile
