It was a more childish reason than he thought so Yu IlHan lost his motivation to even reply. How could such a futile and foolish resolve exist?
However, as Yu IlHan knew very well that he had to respect others to receive respect, he tried his best to not to tackle him. As a result, he ended up just going back to dismantling.
“How could you ask and just ignore me…… Well, fine. We’ll see each other soon.”
Do WooJun licked his lips as if disappointed, but he lead his group and left that place.
It seemed that his sense of rivalry was boiling up after he saw Yu IlHan defeating the bear alone, but honestly, boiling something like that next to him just made Yu IlHan hot and annoyed.
In the first place, Yu IlHan didn’t like the word ‘rivalry’. Just how could one compete with another person shoulder to shoulder!? No, before that, how could Yu IlHan stand shoulder to shoulder with another person when there was no person to do that with in the first place?
Is a rival really necessary for improvement? That was called ‘lack of tenacity’. Wasn’t it enough to just quietly put effort alone if you wanted to improve yourself!?
Whether it was studying alone at home, or practicing Vale Tudo with a sandbag like Yu IlHan, it was all possible, but why would you drag another person in and embarrass yourself!?
If one couldn’t improve oneself just because there was no one to compete with, then would you be able call it your ‘own ability’ even when it’s an ability you improved just because of the existence of a rival? What meaning is there to an ability that only improves and is measured when compared!?
What is the purpose of an ability that only has meaning when it surpasses another person!?
How dare he compare with others when he didn’t even win against his own physical body? If he wanted to surpass something, wouldn’t he have to think about surpassing his own self first!?
How could he neglect something so much when even Yu IlHan could not say that he did it even with 1000 years of effort? And what? He will become the strongest? He will stand on a higher place than anyone? It was all laughable!
Like that, Yu IlHan spouted out the rage of a loner in an unfair and twisted way. Only inside his mind though.
[……Yu IlHan? Aren’t you a bit too excited?]
“No, I’m extremly calm.”
Erta’s call returned Yu IlHan back to reality. He pouted his lips as he retorted at Erta and finished dismantling the body.
Disappointingly, the brown bear didn’t have a magic stone, but the quality of its leather was great. If it was processed well, then he would be able to make an armor that could withstand machine guns easily.
“Excuse me… Sir Sungdaein Bolt……?”
“I’m not selling.”
He was now used to preventing the approach of the ‘strong friends’. However, as if he had heard the matter between Yu IlHan and second lieutenant Han YeoRang, and other military platoons, the government, and the major slowly and carefully approached Yu IlHan.
“I heard you were looking for strong monsters to hunt, no? If so, then we can give you the information.”
“Just the information?”
“Yes.”
Just where did his figure saying ‘bite on a knife and charge’ disappear to… the major offered him a proposal with a truly amiable voice.
“We want to get over this predicament with the least amount of damage possible. Of course it would be a lie to say that we don’t want the body, but I’m saying that the lives of the people are more important. So if you want, I would like to share the positions of the appearances of the monsters……”
“…….”
