The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Chapter 426 - Side Story Chapter 46 - 1400 (2)

The pain in his side, which had been raging for about ten minutes, passed, and Jirji was finally able to come to his senses.

It was painful enough that he thought he was going to die like this, but fortunately, his internal organs were not hurt and his muscles were stiff because of shock.

It was just so terribly painful.

He wiped the tears from his eyes and looked at the madman sitting next to him.

The madman was staring at him.

Surprisingly, there was no malice in his gaze.

“Are you okay? Why are you pretending to be strong like that? It makes people flutter.”

What did you mean by pretending to be strong?

Because of that silly joke?

Is that why he attacked without saying a word?

He wasn’t the usual madman.

In the meantime, he doesn’t know why the word “fluttered” was attached.

The context behind the words did not match.

The madman with the short name ‘Ho’ patted Jirji on the back.

The words were patted, patted with the palm of his hand, yet Jirji’s back tingled.

“Hey, 1400.”

“…What?”

Jirji instinctively shrugged.

He thought this madman might hit him again.

He had no reason to hit him.

The reason is that he hadn’t even stabbed his side with his elbow a while ago.

“What superpower do you have?”

It was frustrating.

Jirji had the superpower of strengthening his body,

This superpower is always activated independently of his will.

The madman who stabbed him in the side must have felt it too.

Jirji’s side was harder than any other rock.

Is he really asking because he doesn’t know?

There was no more thought in Jirji’s mind.

Too many embarrassments overlapped.

He just answered honestly.

“It’s, it’s body strengthening…”

“Really?”

* * *

Ho revealed his superhuman type.

He doesn’t really care,

As he showed his ID, it seemed that he didn’t know much about his superhuman type.

Surprisingly, Ho’s superpower was the summoner type.

It was frustrating.

A superhuman who summons beasts beats a physically capable person with their bare body.

He can’t believe it hurts so much

He couldn’t understand by common sense.

Did he read the embarrassment on Jirji’s face?

Ho showed his own abilities.

“Kyaaak!”

“Aackk!”

Jirji suddenly screamed like a girl when a screaming monster suddenly appeared behind him.

He was really surprised.

Really.

It was surprising.

The appearance of the summoned monster was surprising.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

The head was a frog-like amphibian.

No, the frog was right.

However, the torso and limbs were mammals covered with fluffy fur.

The fluttering tail looked like a real dog.

“What is that?”

“Is that a frog or a dog?”

The other superhumans around them also murmured in surprise.

Ho said with a somewhat proud expression on his face.

“It’s a transparent dog-frog.” (ahahah this is a bit of a wordplay but idk how to make it into english, so 개구리 means frog but just 개 means dog, so in english it’s frdog? XD dfrog?)

* * *

The frog monster was actually a dog-frog.

It was a filthy name.

A frog’s head is combined with a dog’s body to make it a dog-frog.

Ho explained that dog-frogs have invisibility and that it was the dog-frog who attacked Jirji’s side earlier, not himself.

As if that makes sense.

If you’re going to tell a lie, do it in a better way.

Jirji thought to himself.

Jirji was a body-strengthening superhuman.

Even in this field, he can be proud of being one of the best.

He could tell who had hit him.

It was clear that this madman attacked his side.

Not the frog.

It wasn’t even a frog with invisibility.

It was just summoned at that moment.

“Come on, take it.”

Ho said there was some misunderstanding, so they should reconcile.

It was a very cool offer of reconciliation for the bastard.

Jirji bought something to eat at the kiosk.

The meeting is long and boring.

He did it because he couldn’t participate, and he wasn’t interested in the agenda.

So, he usually spends his meeting time eating.

He usually ate alone, but today, for the first time, he has someone sitting next to him to eat with.

He never saw him before.

“Thank you, 1400.”

“Hey, can you stop calling me 1400?”

1400 points is never a good thing.

It was enough strength to be treated as a B-class, but it is an ambiguous score that was inadequate to become an A-class.

And the reason for the disqualification is this.

‘It’s too low to go up to A-class.’ that’s what it meant

The reason was that the higher grades did not suit Jirji, who had the basic ability of strengthening the body in addition to the acquired ability.

Ho ignored Jirji’s words.

He thought that Ho was going to keep calling him1400.

Jirji thought about it.

About Ho’s ability.

First of all, he seemed to have two abilities: a summoning-type ability that summoned a frog monster and a physical-type ability that struck his side.

Two abilities.

Superhumans with two or more abilities.

He didn’t understand.

Those who are born with multiple superpowers are greatly favored.

They had no choice but to be so, as it was a talent that stood out even among superhumans who were regarded as nobles.

Among the nobles, it could be called a sacred bone*. (based on the Silla nobility rank system. Sacred bone (seonggol, 성골) is on the highest level. Read more here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone-rank_system)

What’s more, one of those abilities was able to break through Jirji’s physical strengthening and inflict a clear blow.

In Jirji’s mind, Ho was not a superhuman who would remain in the B rank.

Clearly, he had to be at an A level or higher, that is, among the high-ranking superhumans who were meeting there.

‘Is there something wrong?’

With an attitude as if he didn’t know much about superhumans.

Considering his words that he had been here for the first time, he thought that there might be a complicated story behind it.

“Hey, this is delicious.”

He was a very special person.

Ho continued to speak.

He wasn’t a talkative person, but at the end of the conversation he threw up new topics one by one.

It’s like asking him to tell Ho a little bit more about this.

Jirji told him what he wanted to say.

It wasn’t a bad experience.

Jirji, who has rarely had conversations with other people outside of work recently, felt like he was talking to a friend.

As the conversation continued, it was also significant that Ho’s attitude changed to be more favorable.

As their conversation continued, the meeting of the superhumans continued.

Finally, their agenda was finalized.

“Are you really doing that…?”

It was absurd.

It has already been two years since the great superhuman Akaiden was stuffed into the sky with an asteroid.

During that time, the thought that mankind had on the asteroid was, please, let that time bomb never explode again and sleep forever.

It would be a concern even if it carried out an asteroid extinction operation with military weapons.

That included Akaiden’s rescue operation.

It was clear how the operation was going to go.

The superhumans will be put in.

‘I think they’re going to die terribly, what do you think?”

No, it wasn’t a matter of victims, it was questionable whether the operation was possible.

What were the top superhumans thinking in agreeing to that operation?

It is most likely that they are going to die.

Looking at the contents of the operation, the risk was so high that he thought it was a trap of the administrative government to weaken the power of the superhumans.

Conversely, did it start out of optimism that a world of complete superhumans would unfold if only that operation was successful?

He had no idea whether the administration and the Association of Superhumans or the plans they had could resolve the conflict.

Because he was not included in their society.

He just had to guess.

‘If it fails and the monsters of the asteroid fall to the ground…….’

Everything will fall apart

Jirji left the conference room with worry.

“Where are you going?”

Even after getting up from his seat, Ho, who had been walking with him keeping pace, asked.

“I’m going home.”

Work starts early tomorrow morning.

Jirji sighed.

He was busy taking a day or two off a month, but he felt like he had no more free time to be called to meetings like this.

Ho said, who was staring at Jirji from the side.

“Then I’m going to your home.”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to your house.”

Are you deaf or something? He heard the words, but Jirji didn’t understand.

Why are you coming to my house?

* * *

“Come in.”

Said Ho.

The tone of the talk looked like that of a host welcoming guests.

Jirji was embarrassed.

“This is… my home.”

Why is Ho telling himself to come in first as soon as the door to his house opens?

Jirji took off his shoes and went inside.

“Well…….”

He brought that madman to his house.

Should he have left him out in the middle?

That’s what he thought, but there was a reason why Jirji brought him home.

He was anxious.

He wondered what that bastard was going to do outside.

The human named Ho had no knowledge of superhumans and of this society.

He acted as if he had just come out of the world.

Besides, he beats people at will.

Jirji survived because he was hit in the side, but if that was an attack on ordinary people, a corpse would have been made in its place.

Jirji, who was working hard to keep the city safe, didn’t want to let that madman out.

He cannot even designate protection.

Of course, if that guy commits a crime, he’ll be stopped by the police.

After he committed the crime.

Jirji didn’t want that.

That’s why it seemed like it would be okay to have that unidentified superhuman by his side and watch.

His own personal life and time to rest are threatened, however, Jirji, a superhuman full of justice, gladly accepted the sacrifice.

“You’re living a decent life.”

“Because the salary is not bad.”

In fact, the salary was rather poor.

For a job that only superhumans can do.

But by the standard of ordinary people’s wages, it was definitely not a small amount of money.

“No, you cleaned up well.”

Ho said that he knew it because he lived alone, but it was not easy to live in such a neat way.

“It’s neat and tidy, but it’s like a house where several people live. It feels like. Did you say you live alone? Do you have a lot of lovers?”

Jirji didn’t have a girlfriend.

But he knew what Ho was talking about.

Jirjir put a lot of effort into decorating the house.

Like a house where many people live.

Yes, like a house where one family lives.

It was decorated like that.

Putting his father’s study desk in.

He also displayed pretty plates that his mother loved.

His sibling’s favorite game console was also bought at a high price.

As he was collecting things that were not so necessary, it really looked like a house where many people lived.

Of course, there was only one person living in this house.

It was the furniture he had bought to fill his loneliness.

Sometimes the furniture made him feel more lonely.

Jirji shrugged and scratched his head unknowingly.

He was also a little embarrassed.

He didn’t know what it was, but his heart felt hot.

“What is that?”

Ho asked.

“game console.”

Ho was intrigued by the word “game console”, so he went closer and looked at it.

In fact, Jirji didn’t know much about the game console.

He wasn’t even interested.

He tried it a few times after he bought it, but after a few minutes, he gave up.

Maybe it was because he didn’t buy it because he wanted to enjoy the game.

It didn’t feel fun at all.

It was a game console that he bought with the intention that his brother, who was always envious of the game consoles at his friends’ houses, would like to see them.

Although he had cut ties with his family, he knew that maybe it was a small regret that remained in his heart.

Ho reproduced the image of his younger brother that he imagined in his head when he bought the game console.

There was a twinkling in his eyes.

That excitement and redness.

It was pure joy like a child.

“Why, would you like to try it?”

Jirji smiled without realizing it and asked.
