Chapter 17
Subjugation Request
2nd sponsored chapter by Thanh Kim .
He could already feel that his strength has increased . After getting that 20 percent from Wijihoyun, Sungmin could run from the inn to the north wall without stopping .
He has risen to the point where he could consider himself a second rate martial artist . The lack of inner strength has been covered by Wijihoyun, and he could now think about the future . He didn’t know how much he could increase his level of Amethyst Cloud with his lack of talent, but he could now at least have hope about the future .
It wasn’t just the [Amethyst Cloud] either . If he could just learn the High Heavens from Wijihoyun, he would be able to have two strong techniques and set his goals higher .
Of course, he wasn’t going to be a master just by learning these two techniques . Being a master was only for the geniuses of the geniuses .
‘It’s better than before at least . ’
How much better it was than his past life where he learned a second rate technique for 10 years and stayed at a C rank . His talent stopped him, but he at least had a path to improving . Because of the No Class’s growth and the martial skelton, he would be able to improve at least a bit .
“Sir . ”
When he was going to go to the forest like usual, someone called out to Sungmin . Sungmin hesitated and turned around .
There was a teen that was looking at Sungmin . Sungmin quickly scanned the teen’s clothes . He had martial art clothes . The teen was a martial artist . He looked at the blade at the teen’s waist and answered .
“Yes?”
“Sir, are you a martial artist?”
It was a direct question . That teen must have understanding about this world . Sungmin hesitated for a second .
He was a No Class . He was using martial art methods, but his status still said that he was a No Class . If he wanted to get a new class, he had to go to a guild or other places .
He wasn’t in any of those .
“Yes . ”
However, Sungmin calmly lied . It didn’t make any sense that a No Class would learn technique and have a big size of inner strength . Since he was checked by Wijihoyun already, Sungmin was going to be more careful about that .
“Oh, I see . You seem to be good with speed techniques . If it’s alright, may I hear what division you came from?”

The teen brightened and asked . It was question mixed with compliments . Sungmin shook his head and answered .
“I can’t tell you that . I do not wish to speak publicly about my divisions . ”
Sungmin answered with a cold face . He purposely made a suspicious face and made an according glance . The teen nodded hearing Sungmin’s words .
“I see . I may have asked a insulting question . ”
The teenager said .
“My name is Eun Heelong . I’m also called the Wrecker Blade”
“ . . . I am called Lee Sungmin . I don’t have a nickname . ”
“Really? Your skills are very good for your age…”
“I’ve never been out of the family…”
Sungmin slurred his words . Because of his experiences, he was able to decently act like a martial artist, but he would be exposed if he went on further .
“But what does kind sir have to do with me…?”
“Haha! Sir, I’m not such a great guy to be called that . Just call me the Wrecker Blade”
Wrecker Blade or not, no one didn’t like being complimented like that . Eun Heelong continued with a smile .
“It’s nothing, but I wanted to get some help from kind sir . ”
“My help?”
“Hm . That is…”
Heelong touched his chin and fell in his thoughts . After thinking for a bit, he continued
There were some useless information, but his story was this . He and his companions were trying to conquer an orc clan and was trying to find a companion that could help .
“With your skill, it would be a great help to us . ”
Heelong’s voice had a lot of passion .
“Orc . If we clean those walking pigs, we can get a lot of profits . We have a companion from a mercenary guild . This is an official mercenary guild request . They will aid us with a big interdimensional pocket so we could get a lot of spoils . Alos, if we succeed, we will get rewards as well that will be fairly split . ”
As Sungmin looked curious, Heelong started to persuade directly .
It was a request from the guild and seeing that the group was being supported with a big interdimensional pocket, it was probably an decently important job .
“How many people?”
“It would be three . We have porters as well . If you help, it would be four . ”
“Are they all martial artists?”
“There’s three that are martial artists, and one is a magician . ”
“The porters…?”
“No Classes . They aren’t much help . But they’re useful as porters . ”

Heelong said with a calm face . No much help . It was cold but accurate .
“ . . . hmm…”
Sungmin thought . An orc clan conquest . It wasn’t possible with Sungmin alone, but with three martial artists and a magician, it wouldn’t be hard .
The orcs in Genavis weren’t that strong . There are other orcs in other areas that may be strong enough to counter second and third rate martial artists, but not these one . They were stronger than humans, but they were nothing compared to the professional martial artists .
Add on a magician?
He never learned magic himself, but he knew the strength of magic . Even with a low class magician, with time and conditions, magicians were powerful . With three martial artists blocking the front, the magician would be able to clean the orcs easily .
“Can I hear about the rewards?”
“They will give us 2,000,000 Erie . ”
Because of his past experiences, he knew well about the mercenary guilds’ status . Every city had one . Saying truthfully about the Genavis’s guild, it was nothing compared to that other cities’ . The monsters near Genavis were very weak, and the otherworlders who come to Genavis didn’t stay for long . The people who live here are mostly No Classes
So the guild here wasn’t really that good . That guild had requested conquest for 2,000,000 Erie . It may not be a lot of money to risk a life for, but that was usual for mercenary guilds .
They don’t give much money or rewards . LIves don’t matter to them . .
‘But if we think about the spoils…’
He wasn’t sure how useful the orc equipment might be, but orcs were very useful as magic ingredients . If he sold the spoils for a clan, there would get about 1,500,000 even with the guild taking part of it .
About 3,500,000 . He didn’t know how it would be split, but he would get at least 500,000 .
“ . . . How will they split it up?”
“By the number of people . ”
Heelong responded . Sungmin stayed silent . 500,000 Erie . It’s pretty big for a No Class in Genavis . What do to? There was danger . He didn’t know how much he could trust the group . Sungmin had no intention of trusting Heelong with his life .
Should he should take this as an opportunity or danger . Was there a reason to take it even with the danger?
“I’ll take it . ”
Sungmin nodded after thinking .
He didn’t really need money . He was getting profits after going to the woods, and he was saving them all up .
But money is useful all the time . That was true anytime . Sungmin didn’t plan to be in Genavis for long . After 10 months, he was going to leave after winning the No Class tournament and getting the potion .
However, he still needed to save money . He had to get equipment after leaving Genavis so taking opportunities for money were important .
‘I can’t go into a guild now anyway . ’
He couldn’t have any other job to enter the No Class fight . It would be nice to enter a guild to get money, but he couldn’t with that fight as the goal .
“Thank you . ”
Heelong’s face brightened .
“I think going fast is the best way to do it . How about you? We’re all ready . ”
“Right now?”
Sungmin asked surprised . He thought it was a bit too sudden . But Heelong laughed at Sungmin’s question .
“Haha! They’re only pigs . You, sir, don’t have anything to worry about . ”
Then why did you ask? Sungmin didn’t like the confidence that Heelong was showing, but he didn’t show anything .
‘If it goes wrong, I can run . ’
He had the confidence to run alone .
Following Heelong, Sungmin went outside the castle wall . On the road to the forest, there were Heelong’s companions .
“Isn’t he too young?”
The person who said it had a old face but was short . He was barely half a head different from Sungmin .
“I saw him use a speed technique . Even though he’s young, he has great strength and would be a great help to us . ”
Heelong said . Sungmin went forward .
“I’m called Lee Sungmin . I don’t have any other nickname . ”
“ . . . hm . I’m called Small Monkey Do Sangrang . ”
Small Monkey . He looked exactly like his nickname
“I’m called Black Knife Wangpe . ”
The person wore a black martial arts clothes . He didn’t have any other item, but by his name, he seemed to use throwing knives .
“It’s Renis . I learned from the Belarus school… you don’t know where that is anyway . ”
A girl magician wearing a purple robe came up to him . Of course, he didn’t know . There were way too many varying magic schools .
“ . . . those people?”
Sungmin turned around . There were two men saying nothing behind them .
“Those are just porters so don’t worry about them . ”
Heelong said . They bowed their head towards Sungmin . They were older than Sungmin, but in Eria, that didn't matter .
In Eria, Strength was law .
