I spent a long time learning how to handle the wind from Kerenos. However, it wasn’t as easy as I thought. It was like making pottery with my eyes closed. How could I touch the wind that I couldn’t see? Dammit.

“Old man, well done.”

Currently, there was a blade of wind that I made with much difficulty in front of me. It was lacking compared to Kerenos’ but I still worked hard.

“Now throw it over here.”

I threw a crescent-shaped wind blade into a nearby forest. The wind blade flew quickly and cut down a tree over there. There was a loud sound and the tree fell to the ground. It was quite powerful.

“Haha.” Kerenos approached with a laugh. “Wonderful.”

“Tsk. It is smaller compared to yours.”

“You can’t compare to me. I’ve been training with my master since I was a child.”

"Master? Did you have a Master?”

“Didn’t I tell you?” Kerenos looked back through his memories. Since nothing came to mind, it seemed he had never mentioned it.

“Yes, this is the first time I’ve heard of it.”

"I see. My master’s name was Mugen. In the past, he had the nickname ‘Spear God.’ He was the one who taught me the Storm Spear.”

“Um, Mugen...”

It was a name that Prometheus didn’t remember. This person probably didn’t exist at that time.

“He was a great man. He had enough power to fight against constellations when he was young. Well, I didn’t see it myself.”

“Really...?”

He was an old man with more power than I thought. He actually fought against constellations. I was curious about what he looked like.

[Chwiik. Hey, is the old man still alive?]

This guy was acting repulsively again.

‘Why? Do you want to see him fight?’

[Kukuk. You know it well. I want to see a fight. I’m too bored here.]

‘Tsk. You’ll see a lot soon.’

[Oh, really? Chwiiik. I’m looking forward to it.]

Come to think of it, I should prepare to go to the Colosseum. Gyeonso Dragon said the deadline for the application was tonight. I had to depart now. “You should go back to Metheus. I’m going to the Colosseum.”

“Cough. Old man, have you forgotten about that previous matter?”

“Forgot? What?”

“Are you really going to do this?”

Kerenos pouted. Why was he like this? Then something came to my mind. Oh, perhaps he was talking about that.

“Just wait.”

“Huhuhu. I know.”

Kerenos rubbed both hands together. I handed him $100,000. It was the tuition fee I had promised to pay him. He laughed energetically like he felt good. Money was so good. He would probably be shocked to know I had tens of millions of dollars right now.

"Thank you, old man. Hahaha!”

“Tsk. You have received it so go to Metheus. I’m busy.”

“Huhu. Can I go to the Colosseum with you?”

“Together? Why?”

“No, it’s just that you aren’t that good at manipulating the wind yet. I also want to see Fortren and visit with Punghee.”

“Hmm.”

It was a bit suspicious but well, it was fine. I could think of him as a bodyguard. It would help if he was together with me. He carefully hugged Punghee right away. Punghee fell asleep quickly after using Anemone.

I told him, “Let’s move straight away.”

“I know.” Kerenos flicked his finger. The power of the wind swirled at my feet.

My eyes widened.

[The wind magic ‘Haste’ has been received.]

[Attack speed and movement speed are increased by 1.5 times for 30 minutes.]

“I was able to do this after receiving enlightenment. Haha.” Kerenos laughed.

“...You are a frivolous person. Let’s go quickly.”

“Yep.”

Kerenos and I ran toward the Colosseum. The last time I escaped Fortren on Yellowy, I confirmed that the location of the Colosseum was in the center of Fortren. Come to think of it, I wondered how Yellowy was doing. I had sent him with Sujeong to Metheus. Additionally, the still unnamed Lechuza was entrusted to Sujeong. I felt like I wouldn’t be able to take care of him once the Colosseum battle started.

“Ah, that’s right. Sujeong.”

I was running well when I suddenly stopped. Kerenos stopped along with me. He asked in a bewildered manner, “What’s wrong?”

“Wait a minute.”

I opened the whisper window straight away and sent a message to Sujeong.

-Jackson:Sujeong,did you find out the answer to what I asked?

Earlier, I asked her to find out the progress of the Temple of the Wind’s construction. There was Huera’s blessing on the line so I wanted to receive the reward as quickly as possible. Then why wasn’t there a reply? I took out a daylily cigarette straight away.

It had dropped last time when Supreme Fire Dragon died. He dropped something useful in addition to equipment. There were many times when I needed a cigarette. I hadn’t expected him to actually drop one. Haha.

“Solar.”

“Hehe. Did you call? Master!”

Solar scattered some flames when it appeared and I lit the cigarette. Then I took a breath. It was quite similar to reality. No, it seemed to be better.

[You have smoked a daylily cigarette.]

[All stats are reduced by 5% for three minutes.]

[This time will keep increasing as more nicotine builds up.]

“Um, it is very good.”

It was a bit concerning that the reduction time would increase as nicotine built up but it was only three minutes. Thus, I took one more puff. I had almost completely finished the cigarette by the time Sujeong replied.

-Crystal:Ah, I’m sorry.I was crazy busy just now.

-Jackson:No,it seems you are very busy.

-Crystal:Yes, there was an emergency patient all of a sudden.Kis was a bit hurt.

-Jackson:What?What happened?

It was surprising that Kis was injured. Did he hurt himself again?

-Crystal:Um...Well, it was a small accident.Haha.

-Jackson:Is he okay?

-Crystal:Yes, fortunately.Oh, the progress of the Temple of the Wind is at 59%.However, the speed has increased dramatically since the residents of Garbage Village joined.Perhaps it will take a week to complete.No, it could be faster.

A week wasn’t long. I was glad that the people of Garbage Village were helping. In fact, it would be a lie to say I wasn’t nervous. I just did it because I trusted Joseph’s words.

-Crystal:Oh, Father’s acquaintances are also here.

-Jackson:Acquaintances?Who are you referring to?

-Crystal:His name is Park Muyeol.

-Jackson:What??

No, when did he start Arkstar? He was lacking.He didn’t even call me. Hah. Really. He was like a ghost. No, how did he know I was in Metheus?

-Crystal:Additionally, your son is with him.

-Jackson:Eh???

-Crystal: I remember him from the hospital in the past.His name is Choi Jeonghyun, I think...

No, when did he come to Metheus? I couldn’t believe he was with Muyeol. I didn’t know what was going on right now. How did they meet and why were they in Metheus together? I would love to go to Metheus to ask but I had to apply for the Colosseum battle first. Otherwise, I would be unable to keep my promise with Gyeonso Dragon this time and have to wait for the next time the Colosseum opens.

-Crystal:They are here to see you. What should I do?

-Jackson:Tell them to go to the Colosseum in Fortren.I’ll meet them there.

-Crystal:Your son as well?

“Wait a minute. Are they together...?”

I was troubled for a moment. Originally, my intention was for the two of them to meet. Maybe this was a good thing. Yes, it would be good to take advantage of this to stick the two people together. Haha. It was flowing like water. Good, very good.

-Jackson:Tell my second son to stay there.I will break his legs if he comes.

* * *

“Yes... that is what he said?” Kim Sujeong conveyed his words to the people in front of her.

Then Choi Jeonghyun’s face became pale. “H-He wants to break my legs?”

“Haha... Yes. He also asked me to take care of you?”

“R-Really? Father? Haha...Hah...”

Suddenly, Choi Jeonghyun heard laughs from behind him. The entire group except for Choi Jeonghyun was laughing.

“Kuhaha! Chuntaek’s temper is still the same.”

Park Muyeol was laughing. The impression he gave off was terrifying but he seemed to have a straightforward personality.

“Yes, did he say to go to the Colosseum in Fortren?”

“Ah, yes. He told you to go there. He is supposed to fight someone there.”

“A fight? What does that mean?”

“Ah, Father...”

Kim Sujeong started telling the story. She didn’t say much. They happened to know a man called Gyeonso Dragon who wanted a fight at a place called the Colosseum. After hearing everything, Park Muyeol nodded.

“Hoh. Was there such a person? Chuntaek is the only one having fun with him. Tsk. I guess I have to go and hit him.”

“Haha...” Kim Sujeong laughed. The group seemed to be intrigued. They suddenly stepped forward and expressed their intention to go as well.

“Grandfather, I want to go.”

“I will also go. Old man, won’t it be disappointing to leave me, Muksabal, out?”

“Yes, the Mukjeba brothers are one body. We will go together this time.”

“Baroque... I want to go.”

“Hahaha! The Colosseum will be fun! My hair is standing up. Won’t there be many thrilling matches?”

“We also want to go, old man.”

However, Park Muyeol spoke in a nonchalant manner, “No, all of you should stay here and do some hunting. I’ll go with Seongchan.”

“Oh, yeah!” Park Seongchan raised his fists and cheered.

The other party members had slumped shoulders. Choi Jeonghyun was still pale with a blank expression. Park Muyeol walked straight to the door.

“Grandfather, let’s go~!”

Park Seongchan followed. Soon after, the two of them disappeared. Then Kim Sujeong was startled. “Ah, that’s right! I heard you need to be at least level 100 to apply for the Colosseum?”

She hurried out the door to find the two people but they had already disappeared. They had disappeared like ghosts. Kim Sujeong returned to the place where the group was located. “Can you send a whisper to the two people who had just left that the Colosseum has a level requirement of 100?”

However, the party’s response was very cold. The two bald NPCs were the ones to scatter first.

“Cough! I have to go hunting. I will pull out all of the monsters’ hair.”

“Let’s go together, Momori.”

The same was true for the Mukjeba brothers.

“Che. Since he threw us away, the old man should suffer.”

“He keeps scolding us so it is time he got a taste.”

“Baroque... angry.”

They all left for their own reasons. The only one left was the pale-faced Choi Jeonghyun. Yet for some reason, he seemed to be out of his mind. “Father... he wants to break my legs... just like the stalker at that time...? No, no, it can’t be. Yes, it can’t be... no? No...?”

“......”

Why did it seem like there were no normal people?

“Psychiatry isn’t my specialty...”

Should she start with mental care? Kim Sujeong sighed deeply.
