Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 358



358. Berserk (3)

Nearly a thousand rage howlers lay lifeless, their eyes devoid of light.

A mountain of corpses.

Sticky, dark red blood soaked the wide floor of the cavern without a gap.

The once loud noise had subsided.

“Sss─”

In the midst of the sea of corpses and blood, I took a deep breath and exhaled languidly.

“Hooo───”

It was a process of refining to pull my senses, which had fallen into unconsciousness, back to reality.

As I locked away the excess adrenaline that had been secreted,

A sense of emptiness and deep physical fatigue washed over my entire body at once.

Stagger─

I held my forehead and a bitter smile lingered on my lips.

“Sss, no matter how many times I experience this feeling, I never get used to it.”

– Jin Yuha…

“Huh?”

– You’re back.

“Back? Wasn’t I the same as usual?”

– …Usual, yes. Well. You could think of it that way.

I could sense the confusion in Shin Sehee’s voice.

‘Did I seem very different to her?’

Ah. That could be.

I had shown movements that couldn’t be performed under normal circumstances,

And it must have been a power that clearly surpassed my limits.

– But, that technique… It seems to have a bigger recoil than expected.

“Right. I’ll definitely have muscle pain tomorrow.”

I lightly stretched, rotating my stiff wrist.

If I don’t do this properly after Muah, I really won’t be able to move tomorrow.

“Hmm, will the kids complain about my performance tomorrow?”

It was while I was stretching my body.

– Jin Yuha. Try taking off the restraints for a moment.

“Huh?”

‘Right. I was wearing the restraints, wasn’t I?’

Well, we’re not awakened criminals or anything, and these restraints can be easily removed with just a push of a button.

I pressed the bright red button protruding from the restraints.

Click. With that sound, the restraints released from my wrists.

Whooosh─

Then, the suppressed mana filled every corner of my veins, and strength returned to my previously constrained muscles.

“Huuuahhh······.”

My body, which had been worn out by fatigue, instantly returned to normal.

I let out a pleasant groan at the irresistible sensation.

‘······This feels good?’

As I was savoring the recovery, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

Maybe, if I use these restraints, I could train in a state of selflessness indefinitely.

It appears in that NaruX too.

The self-proclaimed genius of hard work, Bum-bu, releases the limit by removing the heavy ankle weights.

‘Of course, I wouldn’t do something that stupid.’

From noble mtl dot com

Why would I hide my strength in everyday life?

I had no interest in such hidden strength antics.

However, if I see this as a training tool, the story changes a bit.

Every time I trained alone in a state of selflessness, the training ground would be completely destroyed to the point of being irreparable.

The problem is, the one who created that ultra-high recovery system was Rina.

In other words, there was no other technician who could fix it, so I had no choice but to call Rina every time.

‘The unofficial meeting’s effect was wearing off, and her eyes were getting colder.’

But, with these restraints?

I could train in a state of selflessness without worrying about repairs!

Even the old Skaki kid would be happy that the troublesome tasks have decreased.

“This is the best?”

I twisted my lips into a smile.

– Ji, Jinyuha?

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

– Uh, haven’t you returned yet? Or is it the lingering effect······? It’s a technique with more risk than I thought······? If so, it might affect the plan······.

“No, I’m back. What’s wrong?”

– Just now, your smile…

“Huh? Smile? Am I not the same as usual?”

– Hmm, that’s usual. Yes, that’s right.

Shin Se-hee agreed in a reluctant voice.

What? I don’t think I’m any different from usual.

I tilted my head sideways at her reaction.

* * *

“……”

“……”

“……”

Meanwhile, after Jin Yoo-ha and Shin Se-hee went out for reconnaissance.

An awkward silence fell among Lee Yu-ri and the other party members.

‘Ahhh! Jin Yoo-ha!!! This role is too difficult for me!’

Lee Yu-ri screamed internally while subtly observing the party members’ reactions.

No one went to sleep, but no one spoke either.

They just sat in a circle, staring blankly at the campfire.

In fact, if someone here had done something wrong, Lee Yu-ri would have spoken up without hesitation.

But the person in question wasn’t here.

Even Jin Yoo-ha, who should have been leading the atmosphere, was gone.

In this situation, she couldn’t say things like ‘It’ll be okay tomorrow!’ or ‘Let’s cheer up and do our best!’

Lee Yu-ri also sympathized with the current situation where Kang Do-hee was so angry and the other party members were uncomfortable.

Instead, her worries increased.

‘From the next Demon Realm Gate, Shin Se-hee will be leading us? Jin Yoo-ha said the next Demon Realm Gate would be quite tough…’

Jin Yoo-ha often made silly jokes, but he wasn’t the type to lie about things like this.

So, it must be true that it would be tough.

Whether she liked it or not, she had to somehow adapt to Shin Se-hee.

But it wasn’t easy to accept, even if she made up her mind.

She was already so used to Jin Yoo-ha’s leadership, both in body and mind.

‘Shin Se-hee’s leadership… It probably won’t change in just a day or two.’

Honestly, there was no doubt about Shin Se-hee’s command today.

If it had been before experiencing Jin Yoo-ha’s command, wouldn’t I have been impressed?

Probably even Shin Se-hee herself wouldn’t be able to accept that this isn’t it.

Haah─

In the frustration of not seeing an answer, she let out deep sighs.

Yoo-ri unknowingly voiced her inner thoughts.

“Haah… Shin Se-hee. Really… Can’t Jin Yoo-ha just keep commanding… huh!”

Yoo-ri quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late.

All the party members’ eyes were fixed on Yoo-ri.

“…Yoo-ri, do you think so too?”

Sophia asked in a small voice.

Cold sweat dripped from Yoo-ri’s forehead.

She had to make an excuse somehow.

Jin Yoo-ha trusted her and left the atmosphere of this place to her, she couldn’t badmouth a party member who wasn’t here.

“Well, um, it’s just… So, from the next Demon Gate, we have to follow Shin Se-hee’s command… But, didn’t Jin Yoo-ha say it was dangerous there? And yet? We? Don’t you think we need a little more time to get used to Shin Se-hee’s command? That’s what I think…”

Yoo-ri spat out whatever excuse came to mind.

But her words elicited an unexpected enthusiastic response.

“Right! Of course, Se-hee is amazing. She’s almost at the level of Yoo-ha’s command! But, we’re still used to Yoo-ha’s command. I think it’s unreasonable to change the commander for the Demon Gate in such a situation. Unless we have more time to adjust.”

Im Ga-eul.

“Shin Se-hee… How should I put it? She treats me like a tool… Well, if Jin Yoo-ha treated me like a tool, it wouldn’t be bad, but Shin Se-hee is a bit…”

Sophia.

“Eun-in… Shows me more. Se-hee… is good, but her command is not.”

Ichika.

“The instructor trusts me a bit more. But Se-hee doesn’t seem to trust me.”

Alice.

‘Ugh… It really turned into a backbiting session!’

Yoo-ri clutched her head in frustration at the suddenly started grievance meeting.

She definitely didn’t plan for this.

She had to fix it.

“Th-then… Since it’s the first time today…”

Wouldn’t it be better to trust one more time?

Just as she was about to say those words.

“The flower field has no qualifications.”

Kang Dohee, who was leaning quietly against the wall with her eyes closed, suddenly dropped a bombshell.

“!”

Yuri looked at Kang Dohee, hoping she would stop, but her mouth opened again.

“I don’t want to remain as a means for his self-satisfaction or self-realization. If he leads again tomorrow, I will refuse.”

Ah.

It’s over.

Yuri closed her eyes tightly.

A means for self-satisfaction or self-realization.

That statement. It’s strong.

She even stamped a clear boycott, saying she wouldn’t listen to Shin Sehee’s command at all.

The problem is that her words pierced through the emotions everyone was feeling in this situation.

Even Yuri herself felt that way.

What about the other party members?

Yuri bit her lip and turned her head towards the other party members.

“Right. We are not Sehee’s tools.”

“Shall we talk about changing Jin Yuha back to the commander?”

“Agreed.”

“If it’s the instructor, I’m fine with it too.”

“The only one who can command me is Yellow.”

Now, the party members, who had been silent, began to speak passionately.

“…Jin Yuha. I’m sorry.”

Yuri closed her eyes tightly and threw out a word.

“So, how can we make Jin Yuha the commander again?”

I think this is the right thing to do.

* * *

On the way back to the hideout.

Now that Shin Se-hee has shown the necessity of taking command. I was going to point out the problems with Shin Se-hee’s command today…

“Hmm? You want me to take over?”

– Yes, it would be good to have Jin Yoo-ha point out my problems and fix them, but I don’t think that method will work.

“Then what are you going to do?”

– I’ll negotiate with the party members.

“Negotiate…?”

– Yes.

What on earth is she planning to do?

I glanced nervously at the jewel.

– Hehehe, I’ll make them follow my words.

Shin Se-hee laughed in a sinister voice.

‘Hmm, will this be okay…?’

I don’t know.

‘But it should be fine.’

I have something to rely on too.

I entrusted Gukbap with taking care of Kang Do-hee and the other party members.

By now, everyone should be fired up with enthusiasm, saying things like ‘Let’s do better tomorrow!’ or ‘Let’s trust one more time!’

If that’s the case, Shin Se-hee will regain her confidence and be able to command again.

Hmm. Yes.

I believe in you, Gukbap!

And so.

Back at the hideout.

“Jin Yoo-ha! Become our commander again!”

I could see Lee Yu-ri passionately shouting for the change of commander at the front.

‘Hey.’
