Chapter 206: A Hero’s True Character (3)
“I’ to add a condition” Chi-Woo’s ansas unexpected “I want to becoer”
Chi-Hyun furrowed his brows and replied, “If you’re talking about training, I trained you—no, I was in the process of training you”
“I’hed and continued, “I’ the stats in ht now”
“That’s right”
“Yeah, I’ve lived as an ordinary person forBut I’norant any about how I didn’t know” Chi-Woo spoke firmly “I have to know now”
Chi-Hyun suddenly realized that his brother was craving so, but he hadn’t felt like he had gotten er First, it was because all the enemies he’d dealt with so far were at least on par with middle-level bosses Second, Chi-Woo was still inexperienced Just being good at fighting and having excellent skills were not enough Chi-Woo wanted to have the perspective and mindset appropriate for the current Liber
He wanted to have the vision to see not just black and white, but gray areas as well It was not an easy decision to e his perspective and le as a veteran soldier fighting on the battlefield for years to return to norht He had come to Liber anyway, and if he wanted to survive, he had no choice but to adapt further
“…So what do you really want to say?” Chi-Hyun asked
“Please lead me”
“?”
“I’ll do as you say If you lock me in the mountain and force me to train like before, I’ll definitely stick to the plan…But” Chi-Woo spoke with a stronger voice, “I refuse to only stay under your protection”
Chi-Hyun’s eyes narrowed “So you’re saying that you intend to go around Liber in the end”
“But at least I won’t go after a great dee”
Only then did Chi-Hyun finally realize what his brother was trying to tell hier” He would be responsible for all erial aspects of Chi-Woo’s pursuit as a recruit; for the first time, Chi-Hyun looked extremely conflicted
Chi-Hyun had also known that his brother wouldn’t listen to hi had come way sooner than he expected The end was still far away, but Chi-Woo couldn’t only train endlessly day and night in a h training, and he would eventually have to gain experience out in the real world On the other hand, Chi-Hyun, as a hero who had experienced many worlds before, could provide the uidelines for hiood’ Chi-Hyun rubbed his chin He didn’t really want to do it, but Chi-Woo’s proposal was reasonable; he couldn’t flatly refuse it either He suddenly became curious and asked, “Whatin this expedition,” Chi-Woo cal, but I didn’t really knohat it was” Chi-Woo wasn’t only talking about his battle with Zepar; he had felt it froht before they got separated He felt frustrated; he knew that he was lacking, but when he tried to think about what he was lacking, it was hard to clearly define what he specifically needed to i to his brother’s words, he was able to get at least a grasp of what he was feeling
“I definitely have to,” Chi-Woo spoke quietly, “change”
Chi-Hyun took a soft breath Wanting to be strong and wanting to change in an environhtly different; the latter was much more expansive
ht that ca Chi-Woo, he thought Chi-Woo was mediocre Since he had so rowth had been much faster than expected—but that was all there was to it
Chi-Woo only did as he was told He was desperate to get stronger because he recognized the necessity to get stronger in a place like Liber, but he didn’t look beyond that He only trained because it was necessary; it didn’t see desperately or passionately However, the Chi-Woo in front of hie It was a desire that all huh Chi-Woo seeer on what he really wanted, Chi-Hyun could understand his younger brother’s feelings Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so one on this expedition to just gain merits’ Chi-Hyun couldn’t decide whether he should be happy or sad about this fact While Chi-Hyun contemplated his choices, Chi-Woo looked at hih it was too early to juht he was already half-way to success Considering his brother’s personality, Chi-Hyun would have flatly refused and i nonsense if he didn’t like his proposal However, the fact that Chi-Hyun was quietly conte
Chi-Woo didn’t kno much time had passed until Chi-Hyun finally asked, “Is that why you told me you wanted to leave it up to me?”
“Yeah When you think that I’ive the World’s Milestone back to h” Chi-Hyun bent his neck side to side and glanced at Chi-Woo while continuing, “Moreover, you’re ment”
“I’m prepared for that already”
Chi-Hyun exhaled a long breath in response to Chi-Woo’s determined answer “No matter how much I think about it, I think it’s only ht?”
“It’s not for me It’s for you” Chi-Hyun smacked his lips He felt a bit frazzled; he hadn’t expected to be persuaded by his younger brother He could now understand how Chi-Woo had gotten Noel on his side Then he smirked Besides what Chi-Woo had said, he could feel Chi-Woo’s sincerity It must not have been an easy decision for Chi-Woo, either, since his brotherbut a puppet if he had to follohatever Chi-Hyun told his about hi up the proposal first…
trust towards his only brother—a faed with blood Like the relationshi+p between parents and children, an older brother will not lead a younger brother to the wrong path, so Chi-Woo was stating that he’d entrust everything to his brother and follow his guide This was the surest proof that Chi-Woo thought of him as an older brother Of course, Chi-Hyun was not such an easy person that he would just agree to the proposal with an ‘okay’
“If you add one ht consider this deal favorably,” Chi-Hyun said
“A proht?” Chi-Hyun tapped the back of Chi-Woo’s hand and said, “This die…don’t throw it recklessly ever again”
Chi-Woo blinked
Chi-Hyun continued, “In ga”
“Uh…”
“And it doesn’t only involve you It’s an object that can push us into destruction with nearly half the probability,” Chi-Hyun continued “You should never abuse it, especially not during this tiht?”
Chi-Woo obediently nodded because he agreed with everything Chi-Hyun said
Chi-Hyun continued, “…I’ you to never use it at all There will probably be tirew softer “Still, no matter how desperate the situation is, I want you to discuss it withit”
Chi-Woo understood what his brother was saying: Chi-Hyun would leave the World’s Milestone with him, but heChi-Woo that just as he trusted hier brother once more
“I want you to at least keep this proot it” Surprised, Chi-Woo was about to take the die back, but he suddenly felt a strong squeeze on the hand holding the die “!” At the saly by the arm
“Chi-Woo” Chi-Hyun’s face came close to hi in his ears “There’s no second chances”
The back of Chi-Woo’s hands felt hot; Chi-Hyun was holding his hand so tightly that Chi-Woo felt his hand er brother,” Chi-Hyun said
“…”
“I don’t want to treat you like the other heroes”
“…”
“Please help er brother in the future”
An indescribable pressure caaze, and Chi-Woo had no choice but to nod Then the pressure on his hand gradually subsided Chi-Hyun pulled away
After a brief silence, Chi-Hyun said, “I’ll take care of Noel, so don’t worry about her I’ll let you know once she gets a bit better”
“…Uh? Ah, yeah” Broken out of his reverie, Chi-Woo put the die in his pocket
