I Was Banished From the Hero Party I Raised

12. clever fool (2)

“Kiyaat-!”

Vivian, who succeeded in Ice Bloom, was delighted with a high voice.

I was so happy that I jumped in place without realizing it.

Surprisingly, I thought it would be successful soon, but it wasn’t.

Even so, I managed to do it within today.

Above all, once I succeeded, I was confident that I would never fail the next time.

I haven’t tried it, but I’m sure Flame Strike will do the same.

‘It’s night, so I’ll try that later.’

Although Ice Bloom also makes a gurgling noise in the process of surging from the ground.

It’s quiet compared to a flame strike that explodes the ground.

It was time for people to sleep, so I had to be careful.

‘Let’s go back soon. But everyone must have fallen asleep, what should I do… ? I wonder if I can get in without breaking it… .’

At that time, four men approached from a distance.

“Hey, even in the dark, it just sticks in your eyes! You are coming in.”

“Oh, look at the three-dimensional thing.”

“Nunna what are you doing here? Is it because you are lonely?”

Vivian scanned their faces nervously.

It was not an unfamiliar experience, but the feeling of being in this situation was unfamiliar.

‘… Why are you so calm?’

If it was like before, I would have backed away in fear or collapsed in place.

But now, Vivian even felt a bit of a nuisance, like watching flying insects get entangled.

The problem was that these four were stronger than themselves.

Although there is no basis, I instinctively felt that way.

Although he was calm, he read the man’s energy and was a little nervous.

‘Especially this tall guy… .’

Ian is also quite tall, but there was a man taller than Ian.

He seemed to be the center of the group.

“Oh, wait. That magic size with red hair… . Isn’t that Vivian?”

“Uh, looking at it up close, that’s right. Eh, if you have good abilities and a good body, what if other people envy you?”

A person’s smiling face can be so unpleasant.

Vivian felt a physiological revulsion at their darkly distorted smiles.

But I couldn’t be quick to show my displeasure.

There was a man stronger than himself, and there were four opponents.

“I… .”

The moment I was about to tell you to calm down.

I saw Ian approaching with vicious momentum from afar.

As usual, his ferocious impression was cold and hardened, and it was bloody.

who did it

A person who is calmly angry is more dangerous than a person who is angry with heat.

Ian had already decided on something, and there was no room for negotiation.

the moment I saw him

A paragraph from a romance novel that she has been obsessed with lately flashed through Vivian’s mind.

[If I can buy your favor, I can lie about winning a star. If you pay attention to me with that, I might really be able to get a star.]

“… Me, why are you doing this to me… .”

The four men giggled at Vivian’s wincing reaction.

“Hey, this is fucking cute. Sending a girl like this out at this hour, who is the manager to manage things like this?”

“Nada chewy guys.”

Ian, who had approached me, spit out nervously.

Vivian swallowed at the first time he heard his swear words.

On the other hand, the four men burst into laughter when they saw him coming alone.

“Wow, that’s fucking cool.”

“Ha ha ha! I’m sorry, you bastards~”

“Where’s the manager, I’m dumbfounded.”

The manager, Ian, laughed and brushed his bangs.

Even if it’s ridiculous, it should be enough.

Ian let go of his expression and approached.

“I guess I was a bit harsh. He’s our mage, can I take him?”

“Hey, no.”

“Did you think this bastard was scared?”

“Let’s not blush. Do not use your full name.”

Ian shook hands.

“It’s Ian.”

The largest man, who seemed to be the representative of the group, grinned and grinned.

“I like how cool you are. Gordon. A D+ class warrior. I am challenging the formal hero test.”

Gordon said proudly.

Someone muttered behind him.

“Ian… ? where did you hear… .”

But nobody cared about that.

“You must have been a regular hero challenger.”

Ian agreed with that.

There was a reason for approaching Vivian after seeing the ice bloom.

Currently, Vivian’s firepower is at the top of D-class.

‘Well, if Vivian rushes to no casting, it will be sorted out soon… . There’s no way these guys know that. Vivian’s voice wasn’t even audible, so he must have judged that he couldn’t hear the chant.’

In other words, they only thought that Vivian was a magician with good firepower and approached her.

‘It’s rather fortunate for them that Vivian is nice and somewhat timid. If I had a bad personality, I wouldn’t have left a shape in the magic baptism.’

Ian glanced at the other three behind Gordon.

One person who reacted as if he had heard the name continued to roll his eyes as if trying to refresh his memory.

The other two are looking this way with smiles full of anticipation.

You took it well, it seemed that kind of feeling.

From that reaction, Ian judged that they were below D+ level.

It was the eyes that expected Gordon to show what he saw on their behalf.

‘Supebia is not a good environment for a D+ class hero to work. Because there are few dungeons suitable for your level. So, that’s the only reason he’s here.’

Meanwhile, Gordon, who still held Ian’s hand, was perplexed.

I’ve been giving strength since we joined hands, but the other person doesn’t even budge.

None of the people I’ve met so far can withstand this grip.

Among them was the same D+ class hero, but Gordon’s physical strength was above average.

Even when Ian was caught in his grasp, his expression did not change.

As he exerted himself with the intention of breaking his opponent’s hand, Gordon’s face grew red and the veins in his neck began to stand.

Ian said with a calm face.

“okay. Are you comfortable being a fugitive?”

“… What?”

In an instant, Gordon’s strength was drained.

“Isn’t it a bit different from a C-class dungeon?”

D is the only one with a + after the rank of warrior.

If you are recognized for your skills at D-class, you will become D+, and you will be qualified to challenge the official hero test.

The C-level dungeons that you will challenge from D+ are completely different from the previous dungeons.

It’s common to get badly injured in a dungeon, and because it takes several days to clear the dungeon, I sometimes fall asleep in the dungeon.

Therefore, there are quite a few people who have experienced C-class dungeons to challenge the official warrior, but give up after being scared.

It is a kind of stagnation section of the rise of the warrior’s rank.

Gordon, who was in front of me, was also a person who had stopped in that congestion section.

‘To the temporary warriors who are less than that, the challenger, the D+ grade, will make the opponent look like a tremendous force. I think those little puppies are about E-class.’

In fact, even Vivian was a little surprised to hear that this Gordon was a D+ rank hero.

‘I don’t even think about my own growth… . There’s still a long way to go, but I don’t think it’s that far.’

A hero who is afraid of the C-class dungeon and has no intention of going over it, but presents a false feat of being a regular hero challenger.

We call such people ‘fugitives’.

“It must have been fun playing the role of a king among the small fish.”

“What is this now… .”

As Gordon frowned menacingly, his hand snapped.

“Oh… !”

Ian grabbed his hand and pressed it down, causing Gordon to fall to his knees.

“Knock, heck… ! this, this crazy… .”

At that moment, Gordon realized.

It wasn’t that he was holding Ian’s hand, it was that Ian was holding his hand.

“What if the official champion challenger has such low knees?”

“You, you know who I am… Gaaagh-!”

Gordon’s wrists began to bend at an unusual angle.

The other three couldn’t believe what was happening in front of their eyes.

“Go, Gordon… . Come on, don’t joke… .”

“Wait, Ian… . That, that Ian… ?”

One person finally remembered the identity of the name.

Regardless, Ian called out to Vivian with Gordon on his knees.

“Vivian. Come here.”

“Where… !”

The moment a man tries to catch her.

“Keep it off-!”

Gordon’s screams got louder.

“Do you want to see your friend’s hand disappear? I can show you if you want.”

They couldn’t stop Vivian.

If he touched even the tip of his hair, he would rip off not just his hand, but every bone in his body.

Vivian crouched over and hid behind Ian.

“Are you not hurt?”

“yes… .”

Ian said that and looked at Vivian’s condition.

It must have been true since they hadn’t touched Vivian, but I couldn’t help but ask out of concern.

Suddenly one of the men knelt down.

“I-Ian… ! Wrong!”

“Hmm. I have one more friend on the knee. What about the other two?”

“What, what, who the fuck is Ian!”

The other two had no notice or information.

Ian punched Gordon on the chin, knocking him out.

It was literally as light as a brush, but Gordon sat down helplessly.

“Vivian.”

“yes?”

“Turn around and wait a minute.”

“yes… .”

One of the two knee-high guys jumped in and threw a fist.

In the midst of the slowing down time, Ian smelled the scent of alcohol.

‘I’m drunk.’

Ian threw his fist at the clumsy outstretched fist.

Fist and fist collided, and one fist was grotesquely rolled inward.

Ian’s fist was fine.

-Kudeuk!

“Aww… !”

“It’s tough.”

The power was moderately adjusted.

As far as my standards go.

“Keukgeuk… .”

“Noisy. next.”

After knocking it out with a kick, I looked at one guy who hadn’t knelt down yet.

Because he lost his fighting spirit, Ian strode forward.

“Ah, my, sin… .”

Ian silently kicked at him as he backed away with his chin shaking.

His ankle was kicked violently, and he flew into the air, spinning several times before crashing headfirst into the ground.

I was immediately stunned.

Ian squatted down to meet the kneeling man at eye level.

I took a sugar cane out of my pocket and asked for it, and the man begged for it with his forehead on the ground.

“Help me, I was wrong! Ian… !”

“I only ask you one thing.”

“Yes!”

“You used the word kidnapping earlier. What do you mean? I think that Gordon did it.”

“Yes… ?”

“Is such a thing possible in the middle of Supevia?”

“Ah, uh, uh, I didn’t really mean that… !”

The man explained, using all his limbs, that he wrote it in the sense of taking a woman who came out alone at night.

After all, I want to know what the difference is from kidnapping, but at least it was clear that it was not an organized crime.

But as he spoke, the man glanced at the fainting Gordon, as if there was something stinging him.

“What does that friend have?”

“Yes? Oh, that’s… .”

In an unfounded situation, intuition kicks in.

‘Could there be an organization that has set foot in Superbia… .’

Just in case, Ian dragged the man to the fallen Gordon.

After knocking the man down and pressing him down with his knee, he examined Gordon’s wrist.

‘Criminals here tend to leave marks on their bodies… .’

I found a tattoo with an ‘X’ in the middle of a circle under Gordon’s left wrist.

It is a symbol of a large-scale criminal organization that Ian knows.

“Liberal League… .’

It is a group of transgressors who claim that individuals have the freedom to break the law and harm others.

It is also an organization that has a bad relationship with Mercy, and it is a very famous group throughout the continent, so Ian and the military police are eager for it.

However, since Ian had to train warriors, it was the responsibility of the military police to track them down.

But it was strange that the Liberal League was here.

Despite their notoriety as a criminal organization, their top priority is their own survival and safety.

In other words, the situation in which they advanced to Superbia, which had the most military police and was watched by the imperial family, was close to impossible.

‘In the first place, they weren’t very active around Supervia… .’

Ian looked at Gordon’s wrist again.

One horizontal stroke under the marker.

It means the lowest person in the organization.

‘Is it a consumable to find out the dynamics of Supebia? Or are other people besides him already active in Supervia?’

Either way I can’t figure out why.

‘Why? What’s the purpose?’

Ian’s gaze moved slowly to the side.

Ian turned around and told me to wait, so I saw Vivian, who was still calm.

A magician with no-casting talent who is showing his back with a pod tightly on, perhaps a little uneasy about waiting for a long time.

‘… no way.’
