Chapter 4 – Sponsorship (1)

The day before vacation, which only happens twice a year.

The trainees had completed their daily routine and regained their freedom, but their instructors still had work to complete.

To the trainees, the instructor’s routine seemed overwhelmingly free, but that was only because they did a lot of work behind the scenes.

After frantically exchanging documents, summarizing the year, and completing the last official work of the year, the instructor meeting, the instructors were finally able to find freedom.

“Ah, it’s finally over. This year has been a long one.”

Head instructor Alex stretched greatly as he finally left the conference room.

There was another instructor next to him.

Russo, like Alex, was a senior instructor.

He received the words with a listless face.

“It was long.”

“Why are you so sad?”

“It’s always been like this.”

“I know you always have a sagging expression on your face. It’s like you’re carrying the weight of the world.”

Alex exaggeratedly imitated Rousseau and returned to his original face.

“But today is a little different.”

“What’s different….”

“They are more saggy than usual. If your lips are usually this much down, today they feel like they are even more down.”

Alex raised his fingers along his cheeks and lowered them to his chin.

Instructor Alex always had a mischievous attitude, but no one knew Rousseau as well as he did.

Rousseau eventually admitted it.

“I don’t feel good.”

“For what? You must be the only instructor in this academy who is depressed today? Vacation doesn’t only apply to trainees, right?”

“It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

“Usually, saying ‘don’t worry’ has the same meaning as ‘please pay attention’. Dear friend, why don’t you share a drink with me today? I just happened to get some good drinks.”

Click- Just-.

The sound of opening a bottle of alcohol came from Alex’s mouth.

It was an astonishing reproduction, but Rousseau was impregnable.

“I don’t feel like that.”

“Today’s Rousseau is a primordial person. You understand. I’ve only seen him once or twice, and even I… hmm?”

“But why?”

“excuse me.”

Alex stretched out his hand. At the end, there was a lighted training hall.

“Is there anyone still using the training camp?”

When a person enters, the magic light automatically turns on. It must mean that there was someone.

“I don’t know who he is, but he is truly an amazing trainee. In fact, it’s natural. The official break starts tomorrow. He’s very special… Shall we just take a look at his face?”

“For what?”

“I should at least give you extra points next semester. Even if you become famous, sincerity is definitely included in the evaluation items. It’s one of the virtues of a knight, right?”

“There’s no need to do that… No, do as you wish.”

“You are so strange today.”

“You must be sincere when you say you will give extra points, right?”

“You and I both have that level of authority, right? We didn’t add the term ‘chief’ to the title of instructor for no reason.”

Alex took the lead without hesitation.

Glancing. The moment Alex peeked through the open door, he stopped.

“…….”

I turned around without making a sound.

A shy gaze met Rousseau, who was looking at me as if he knew that would happen.

“It must have been Henry.”

“How do you think I knew?”

“It’s obvious. On a day like this, who else would be able to use the gym until this hour?”

“I had to come out here at this time… Now I understand. Now I understand.”

Alex looked at Rousseau with sad eyes.

An expression that seemed to ask whether the reason he had such a face until now was because of Henry.

Rousseau said with a sigh.

“Even if you know, don’t say it out loud. What was Henry doing?”

“He collapsed from exhaustion. I could feel the heat just by looking at him. Hmm, if he wasn’t aiming to be a knight, he would have been a really great guy. I feel so sad every time I see him.”

Crack. Alex put his hand on Russo’s shoulder. There was a bitter smile on his lips.

“Don’t worry too much. It’s a shame, but we can’t create talent that doesn’t exist.”

“hmm.”

“If you really feel that way, why don’t you go and comfort him? He won’t listen to me, but he might listen if you say it.”

“What?”

“A recommendation to give up on knighthood. If he had gone down a different path, he would have become successful a long time ago.”

Russo’s eyes turned to the training ground.

Beyond the closed door, I seemed to see Henry sweating alone.

That’s why I couldn’t tell you to give up any more.

“It’s not part of my job as an instructor to dampen a trainee’s enthusiasm. You said there was some good alcohol, right?”

Cheap sympathy only hurt enthusiasm.

“Haha, man. Good idea! Let’s go! You won’t be disappointed!”

***

Contrary to Chief Instructor Rousseau’s expectations, Henry was actually just resting.

[I’m tired, I’m tired haha]

[Pfft]

[What I saw earlier was really basic swordsmanship lol]

“Wow, Ma, I’m glad the wizards seem to like it.”

The pure white ceiling looked yellow.

From basic swordsmanship to advanced swordsmanship.

All of the sword skills that a knight trainee could encounter had come pouring out from the tip of Henry’s sword.

Thanks to my increased sensitivity, I was able to load mana into my sword.

A very small amount indeed.

But the visual effect was amazing.

[I said this is not a skill but something you wield directly, right??]

“Yes, I have no skills. I do all the swordplay myself.”

Skills.

As Henry understood the expression, it was like this.

It’s a technology that allows you to automatically cast swordsmanship with just the lift of a finger.

‘It’s a wizard-like way of thinking.’

It must be natural for them.

A wizard was someone who could solve all problems without even lifting a finger.

[No, wait a minute haha. Now that I think about it, something seems strange??]

[What is it?]

[Isn’t this really swinging??]

[You’re swinging it, right]

[Oh?? Huh????]

[No, wait a minute haha]

Henry narrowed his eyebrows. The wizards’ reaction was strange. Could something had gone wrong?

The moment when my mouth went dry from the eerie tension.

[So you’re saying you are ‘really’ swinging it yourself??]

[That’s right, it’s a VR game hahaha]

[ㄹㅇYou played this in real life???]

[I’m crazy hahahaha]

An intense reaction erupted.

At the same time.

[‘trysky0323’ has subscribed!]

[‘Poporijang’ has subscribed!]

[‘Vixton’ has subscribed!]

… …

Subscriptions poured in!

Henry was embarrassed by the sudden reaction and couldn’t say anything.

‘… … ‘What part are you satisfied with?’

That was the first thought that came to my mind.

The tastes of wizards.

However, after a short thought.

‘No, there is no great reason for this.’

Henry was so sure.

Expression of swinging it directly. An expression for digesting this in real life.

Judging by their admiration for him, ‘moving their bodies’ like a knight seemed like an amazing and new thing to them.

‘That’s all. These wizards use great magic, but they must have neglected moving their bodies.’

I learned this expression.

Amazing means great.

The ‘dog’ in front was meant for emphasis.

“I will say that you are very amazing. Thank you, Purple Squirrel Wizard.”

“Are you talking about body shape? What do you mean by reality….”

This problem was difficult.

Henry also knew what a body was, but they kept using the expression ‘reality’ from earlier.

The real world!

After a moment of contemplation, Henry made a decision.

‘I’m talking about the world outside the tower.’

Unlike wizards who were almost confined to the tower, knights were free to roam the vast world.

“Yes, the same.”

[Do you have abs????]

[Haha, you have invincible powerㄹㅇ]

[I guess these are almost actual muscles?]

[Show me!!!]

“……I understand.”

Anyway, the top I took off every time I walked in the morning was my top.

widely. widely.

After unpacking the heavy sandbag and putting it down,

I glanced at the viewers’ conversation.

Boom!

Henry took off his shirt to cool off.

and.

[I didn’t broadcast it to make you feel ashamed???]

There was a statue there.

[ㅍttttpttttttttttttttttttttttpbn]

[There was a standing ovation automatically, bro;;;]

Subscriptions and donations poured in.

Three years of intense training created a flawless body.

It was natural for Henry, and in fact, a body like this was not that rare in the Knight Academy.

‘But that wasn’t the case for wizards. This is kind of… … You’re paying homage, right? About something different from themselves.’

The wizards were unable to come to their senses due to the overwhelming physical beauty.

[Driver, I guarantee you that if you take off your top, subscribers will pour in;;]

[ㅇㅈㅇㅈ!!!! That’s right!!!!!!!]

[It’s enough to make me put down the chicken I was eating. Abilities]

[Ah… … Feeling of shame… … Why am I… … ]

“I think the positions of the wizards and I are different. I lived as a knight-in-training, and the wizards followed the path of magic.”

[what?? Is this Mac??]

[LOL The knight hits twice!]

[But if he’s that physically strong, wouldn’t he be a big hit even if he plays a long game???]

[Knight, don’t you play other games??]

“The game is….”

[Concept ㅇㅋ]

[Other uh… … So, do you have any plans to get a job other than a knight?]

“No. Absolutely. I must become a knight.”

At that moment, a strong determination was revealed in Henry’s eyes.

would. A desperate, unquenchable desire.

[Then what about later??]

[After saving the family, doing everything, and making a name for yourself as a knight~ Then!!]

“That’s….”

Henry hesitated.

The wizard was talking about a moment that Henry had always dreamed of, but paradoxically, was difficult to even imagine.

“If that time comes, if that moment comes to me someday… I don’t know. If it really comes to that, I might be able to put down my sword…”

[LOL They say they’ll film the ending and that’s it]

[Jo Wa-yong has the mindset to film as much as he can~~]

[With this physical ability, I think I’ll be able to see the ending soon haha]

I didn’t know exactly, but I felt like it was a compliment.

‘Kisarah… … article. It should be. You can think about the rest later. ‘Because that’s the only option I have right now.’

The hand holding the wooden sword tightened.

My once helpless hands gained confidence.

This was how much change occurred in just one day.

It was clear that we would be able to make great progress in just one month.

‘however.’

Henry narrowed his eyes.

‘What is that?’

Bottom of the broadcast screen.

[Step 1 goal achieved!]

[Additional rewards will be given!]

Below the content that came to mind a little while ago, there was a newly added message.

[Sponsorship Store]

‘It might be related to sponsorship.’

We still haven’t figured out what ‘sponsorship’ for wizards means.

However, considering the circumstances, that was probably the wizards’ consideration as well.

[Then the game is invincible AOS??]

[I think RPG would be okay too haha. If PK comes out, wouldn’t they just give it all away?]

[That would be okay too haha]

A glance.

When I checked, the wizards were having a heated discussion.

Leaving them chatting, Henry reached out and touched the [Sponsored Store].

[Sponsored store]

[Holding donations: 27,000 won]

[You can purchase items with donations!]

[Subscribers: 17]

[The items available for purchase at the current level are as follows.]

It seemed that the number of subscribers directly led to the level.

And in the list of items that followed.

[Seiat Root (1): 12,000 won]

* Seiat root, a material for mana reagent.

[Useful mineral bag: 880,000 won]

* You could randomly obtain minerals suitable for refining a sword.

[Limited sale!]

[Shaolin Summoners: KRW 23,000,000]

* You could obtain a significant amount of attack power. A sufficient level of internal energy was required to digest it.

Henry finally realized the use of ‘sponsorship’.
