Chapter 19: Han Min-Jun’s Training (1)

Hearing his words my lips curled up into a smile as I narrowed my eyes, 'I knew he would choose it'. Han Min-Jun was known as one of the top 10 inventors in the world [Theos] who was able to create immense wooden mechanics that took the world by storm! Although the current him is weak and naive, I can still teach him to be better than ever! Though my words might seem ambitious, it is the truth.

Finishing with the procedures, we went back to our temporary inn. As I was fixing my bag, Han Min-Jun sat on his bed and kept fidgeting, without turning around I asked with a sigh "What's the matter this time?" Han Min-Jun flinched and scratched the back of his head, "Uhm, it's just, is it really the right choice for me to pick the Class Inventor?"

Sighing deeply, I smiled helplessly and looked at him, "Of course, just follow what your heart desires"

"But, what if what my heart is saying wrong?" Han Min-Jun asked and I flicked his forehead. "Ouch! What was that for?" He grumbled. Crossing my arms I said "It's normal to make mistakes, it's because of this that we learn"

Han Min-Jun was silent before he burst out laughing. I was confused and asked "What's so funny?"

"N- No, it's just, you sound like an old person when you speak" Han Min-Jun said and this time it was my turn to be silent, 'Do I really speak like an old person?'

[Judge "Ares" laughs and says "It's true! Hahaha"]

[Judge "Dionysus" says "It's funny because it's coming from a person who has not much difference to your age"]

Seriously? Even the [Judge] agrees to this? I sighed internally and stretched my limbs. After closing my bag I hid it under the bed and said "Let's go rest now, we'll start your first training tomorrow" Hearing this Han Min-Jun stiffened and clenched his fist before humming, yes, it's his first training, that's why he can't make any mistakes in front of this person! He thought.

Night passed by in a blink of an eye and it was already the next day. Han Min-Jun and I walk towards a giant three story building. Obviously it was made with wood and the exterior looked simple but the moment we entered it, I and Han Min-Jun couldn't help being dumbfounded and were in awe.

The interior had a giant space and plenty of people could be seen, all wearing fancy clothes and most with wooden nut-like glasses. Some of them saw us entered and couldn't help scoffing and mocking us because of our appearance, not only did they not sensed any mana coming from me but also Han Min-Jun's appearance looked like he was completely new to this place. I ignored their sarcasm but that did not go the same with Han Min-Jun as he lowered his head solemnly.

Suddnely one of them came up to us, the person had an exquisite appearance that had a noble temperament. Looking at us he placed his hand on his chin and waist and said "Are you two perhaps lost?" Hearing his words the entire place was filled with laughter.

Han Min-Jun only lowered his head and I was silent, finally not getting the reaction he wanted, the person clicked his tongue in dismay and walked towards Han Min-Jun, "Oi! I'm talking to you-" Suddenly, his wrist was grabbed by a weak force and he turned his head to look at me, though he did not see my eyes because of the hood and my head lowered.

The person looked at his wrist that was held and frowned in disgust saying "Let go of me!" he broke free from my hand before cleaning off his sleeve as if it was touched by something dirty. Pointing at me he said "Who do you think you are?! Don't you know who I am?!"

Han Min-Jun trembled and I couldn't help patting him and blurted out subconsciously "Just ignore him, this is just a cliche provocation from an extra" The moment I spoke this i couldn't help pursing my lips in regret, I did not want to make more enemies, sigh…

"What did you just called me?! An Extra?! How dare you!" Calling out his bodyguards, two burly men appeared and he ordered with a smirk "Apologize now you pheasants or be thought a lesson"

Han Min-Jun paled and remembered back then in the mountain, he looked at me and clenched his fist, thinking 'What should I do? It's just the same again, I can't protect anybody!' Biting his lips until it bled he took a deep breath and was about to step forward to apologize when I stopped him and spoke coldly "Why should I apologize to a mere nobody?"

Han Min-Jun stared at me dumbfound and I smiled underneath my mask, "It's alright, although I want to lay low, sometimes it would be best to show some people that you should not be messed with. Han Min-Jun, it's time to stand up for yourself" Han Min-Jun's eyes shone at my words.

The person became even more angry as he ordered "Teach them a lesson!" With his permission, the two bodyguards cracked their muscles and walked towards us with a grin. I stepped forward and Han Min-Jun stared at my back, I said "Sometimes, even if you know that it is hopeless, you still should move forward, and fight" as my words fell, the giant fist was about to land on my when I looked at it indifferently and used my [Skill] to see their movements and swiftly dodged it, then, grabbing my dagger in my bag at a fast speed, I cut the person's arm in just a blink of an eye.

Everyone who was watching was stunned, and before the bodyguard knew it, he already screamed madly from the pain, then, as he screamed I kicked his face which hurt him a little but was painful for me. I clicked my tongue and thought 'Useless body'

I decided not to kill him and instead knocked him out as I chopped the back of his neck which led him unconscious. The other bodyguard was startled but the person ordered him to beat me which led him no choice but to still attack me. As he aimed his fist at me, I held it and flew upwards before chopping the back of his neck as well.

'Thud!' Both the burly bodyguards fell to the ground unconscious which made everyone at the scene stunned. 'Swish' Then, my hood fell off and that's when they trembled greatly and regretted mocking me, they saw my eyes which was all black and felt as if they were staring at an abyss itself.

The person who provoked us also trembled greatly until he fell to his knees. This time, I thought of something funny and tried to do it. Reaching out my hand I stared at him coldly and stated "You're in the presence of a [Guide]."

Hearing my cold voice and simple yet domineering words, he knelt before me and said "Oh dear lord, please forgive this pheasant!" Everyone else couldn't help also kneeling as they said in unison "Forgive us!" I did not expected such a welcome but still accepted it indifferently.

Han Min-Jun on the other hand was dumbfounded to the fullest and stared at my back, so this is- the true power of a [Guide]!

…..

After the commotion ended we went to the registration, paying 500 coins we entered Han Min-Jun's own laboratory room. Looking at the different types of woods and metals, Han Min-Jun felt his heart skipped a beat and couldn't help patting his chest. Seeing him like this I couldn't help smiling and placed my bag on the single table in the center of the room, taking a wrench I spun it on my fingers and said to Han Min-Jun with a smile "Shall we get started?" Han Min-Jun widened his eyes before he couldn't help tearing up and smiled before humming.

….

At a mansion, the person who provoked us was kneeling on the ground, then he heard a cold and angry voice from above along with a glass smashing on his head as wine dripped from it. "What?! You're saying that you provoked a [Guide]?! A [Guide]?!"

The person was the son of an earl and his name was Ethan Baron. The person above him who had a long mustache was his father, Nathan Baron. Litting a cigarrette, Nathan blew the cigarrette and said "They are in the Laboratory Faction you say?" Ethan trembled and answered "Yes, father" Nathan scoffed at him and looked out the window, blowing the cigarrette once again he muttered "We can't let a precious gem like that go, understand? You must gain his trust and favor ability, no matter what the cost, got it?" Ethan though reluctant, could only agree with his father with his head lowered.

Nathan couldn't help laughing, fantasizing how popular he will be once he or his son befriends a [Guide] and said "Finally, the Baron family can rise once again thanks to this given opportunity!"
