Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad Chapter 59

Chapter 59

How strong is a Battalion Commander?

It’s an ambiguous question.

Because strength is always relative.

That’s why Hyun-seok always had to look at Combat Power.

Even though it wasn’t perfect, it was the only indicator that could objectively assess power.

‘Battalion Commanders usually exceeded 50,000.’

The current Combat Power Meter can measure up to 50,000.

Most Battalion Commanders’ Combat powyer he’s checked so far were unmeasurable.

Naturally, this leads to the conclusion that Battalion Commanders’ Combat Power is over 50,000.

‘It’s definitely not a gap I can close within a month.’

How does Hyun-seok compare?

The last time Hyun-seok checked his Combat Power, it was in the mid-10,000s.

In other words, even if he becomes three times stronger than now, he still won’t reach the average of a Battalion Commander.

‘In the end, the only way is to get stronger by learning Fighting Techniques!’

Hyun-seok once again realized he needed to learn new Fighting Techniques.

“… Hyun-seok. Choi Hyun-seok!”

At that moment, a voice snapped Hyun-seok out of his thoughts.

“Huh? Yes!”

“What are you thinking about so deeply? You didn’t even hear me calling.”

“I’m sorry. I was just thinking about the tournament.”

Being too deep in thought, he had forgotten he was in conversation with Reidrun.

“So. You said you had something to ask me?”

“Yes. Actually, I came because I have a favor to ask of you, Sir Reidrun.”

“A favor… What is it?”

“Sir Reidrun, please teach me how to create Fighting Techniques!”

“Create Fighting Techniques?”

A question appeared on Reidrun’s face.

He was already teaching Hyun-seok Fighting Technique.

“Aren’t I already teaching you Fighting Technique?”

“To be precise, I want to learn how to create Fighting Technique.”

“How to create Fighting Techniques…”

“Yes. I think it’s impossible to achieve results in the tournament within a month with my current state.”

“So you want to develop your own Fighting Technique?”

“That’s right. If I create and master my own Fighting Technique, it will surely be a great help!”

“Hmm…”

Reidrun fell into deep thought with a stern face.

Hyun-seok began to feel tense along with him.

If Reidrun refused now, he would be in a difficult situation in many ways.

‘Please… My only hope!’

Perhaps his desperate prayer reached through.

Reidrun slowly nodded his head.

“Alright.”

“Thank you!”

When permission was granted, Hyun-seok smiled brightly.

“Time is short, so let’s start right now.”

“Pardon?”

“Follow me.”

Reidrun started moving immediately without saying more.

‘Does he have something urgent?’

Hyun-seok was a bit puzzled but soon brushed it off.

What matters now is that Reidrun agreed.

‘What a relief. If Reidrun teaches me, I can rest assured.’

Until then, Hyun-seok didn’t know.

What kind of hell he would have to go through to create Fighting Techniques.

***

Reidrun moved to his personal training ground.

He crossed his arms and looked at Hyun-seok.

“Choi Hyun-seok. You are currently learning two Fighting Techniques.”

Currently, Hyun-seok is learning two types of Fighting Techniques.

One is ‘Reidrun-style Fighting Technique’.

The other is ‘Plomot’.

“To be honest now, those Fighting Techniques don’t suit you. Do you know why?”

“Is it because I’m human?”

“That’s right.”

The Reidrun-style Fighting Technique is, as the name suggests, created for Reidrun.

Plomot is a demon race’s unique Fighting Techniques passed down from ancient times.

In other words, both are Fighting Techniques for the demon race.

“Even though you’re human and using these two Fighting Techniques, it’s inevitable that the efficiency is lower.”

A human using demon race Fighting Techniques.

This was like fighting while wearing armor that doesn’t fit your body.

It might be better than being bare-handed, but it can never achieve optimal efficiency.

There was a need to create custom armor that fits Hyun-seok’s body.

“That’s why when you said you wanted to develop Fighting Techniques, I thought it was a good idea.”

“Thank you! As expected, there’s no one but you, Sir Reidrun! Hahaha!”

Hyunseyok seized the opportunity to flatter him.

However, Reidrun’s expression remained stiff.

As Hyun-seok was wondering about this,

Reidrun continued with a serious face.

“It’s too early to be happy. Hyun-seok. You possess two powers – magical energy and demonic energy.”

“Yes…”

“In other words, your Fighting Techniques need to be created to contain both powers. Do you understand what this means?”

“Hmm…”

Creating Fighting Techniques that incorporate both magical and demonic energy.

It sounded difficult just hearing about it.

“Is it very difficult…?”

“I’m not even sure if I can succeed. No, to be honest, it’s impossible to create it within a month.”

Despair showed on Hyun-seok’s face.

Reidrun saying it’s impossible!

A capable demon from an elite background.

It was the first time the word ‘impossible’ came from his mouth, who seemed like he could do anything.

As his head was growing cold, Reidrun continued.

“But Hyun-seok. I think you might be able to do it somehow.”

“…”

“My experience and knowledge, combined with your talent. I think there’s a possibility if we combine the two.”

Reidrun’s lips were no longer stiffly set but raised warmly.

Only then did relief flood Hyun-seok’s face.

‘Reidrun! There really is no one but you!’

He was truly a perfect man except for his appearance.

An elite background and capable himself!

Well-mannered!

His etiquette and manners would put both the country of eastern courtesy and the country of gentlemen to shame.

The only issue, if any, was that his appearance was a bit fierce.

‘Just the minor issues of being over 2.5m tall with a muscular build, red skin, a bull’s head, large horns, and fire spurting from those horns…’

Well, what does it matter.

Somewhere out there must be women who would like such a manly appearance of Reidrun.

It might even be considered very handsome by demon race standards.

“Hyun-seok. Are you ready?”

“Yes!”

Hyun-seok, who was briefly lost in random thoughts, returned to reality.

“It won’t be easy at all.”

“I’m prepared!”

“Good. The first thing we need to do is learn to use magical energy and demonic energy harmoniously.”

“Ooh…”

Hyun-seok let out a small exclamation.

Using magical and demonic energy harmoniously.

It’s a very interesting topic right from the start.

‘What kind of training will it be…?’

Hyun-seok waited for the next words with an expectant expression.

His heart started beating at the thought of becoming stronger.

“Then clench your molars tight.”

“Pardon?”

“We don’t have time. There’s nothing better than actual combat for learning anything quickly.”

“Sir, Sir Reidrun… Wait a moment!”

Hyun-seok raised his hands and stepped back.

“Hm? Is there a problem?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to build a foundation through more systematic education rather than jumping straight into actual combat?”

Reidrun shook his head with a firm expression.

“No. From what I’ve observed so far, you’re a practical type.”

“…”

“If you get hit… No, as you experience actual combat, you’ll naturally learn to mix magical and demonic energy as easily as breathing, so don’t worry.”

“Ah… I see…”

Hyun-seok ended up closing his eyes.

“He just said ‘you’ll see when you get hit.’ He straight up said he was going to hit me!”

Hyun-seok screamed, but reality remained unchanged.

A huge bull-headed figure was charging at him with raised fists right in front of his face.

‘Ah… So this is why they say to get the first step right.’

Once again, beating disguised as training was about to begin.

***

Several days passed.

As expected, creating Fighting Techniques was harder than anticipated.

During this time, Hyun-seok hadn’t stopped thinking about Fighting Techniques for a single moment while awake.

‘I’ve gotten pretty used to handling demonic energy.’

Reidrun’s beatings were painful, but their effectiveness was undeniable.

Hyun-seok was able to rapidly improve his demonic energy Manipulation skills.

Ability: Demonic Energy Manipulation (E)

The grade had risen from F to E grade.

However, even though he became proficient at handling demonic energy, the fundamental problem remained unsolved.

‘It’s impossible to merge magical power and demonic energy…’

The fusion of magical power and demonic energy.

If you can’t combine the two powers and use them separately, nothing changes from before.

Somehow, these two energies needed to be merged to utilize 100% of his power.

That’s why Hyun-seok was desperately pondering methods to achieve this.

“Hero…”

At that moment, Rachel approached.

She tugged at Hyun-seok’s pants leg.

“I’m bored… So bored…”

“I’m busy, don’t bother me.”

“Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. Or how about Red Light, Green Light?”

“Tch! Go play somewhere else!”

“…”

“Hmm, should I increase the ratio of demonic energy here? No. If I minimize the use of demonic energy from the start…”

Thanks to Hyun-seok becoming a model hero, Rachel was dying of boredom.

He either wouldn’t respond to her playful attempts or completely ignored them.

Life didn’t feel like living anymore.

Rachel’s cheeks puffed up in frustration.

“Ugh… Fine! I’ll only play with Bobo from now on!”

Rachel flew off to Bobo, leaving Hyun-seok lost in thought.

Bobo was lying face down on the floor, half-dozing.

“Hey mutt! Come at me! Let’s have another wrestling match!”

Rachel swung her fists in front of Bobo.

Bobo looked at Rachel with tired eyes while letting out a long yawn.

“Kwang…”

Then closed its eyes again.

It had been like this ever since getting seriously injured in the last attack.

Whether it hadn’t fully recovered or not, Bobo spent most of the day sleeping.

“Hey! Play with me! Don’t ignore me!”

“Kwang…”

Bobo turned completely around and lay down, as if annoyed by a fly.

Rachel stomped her feet.

“Ugh…!”

She was bored!

So bored she felt like she was going crazy!

At that moment.

An idea flashed through Rachel’s mind.

‘Should I try using demonic energy too…?’

Basically, Rachel shares magical power with Hyun-seok.

All the magical power she uses comes from him.

Then maybe she could also use the demonic energy that Hyun-seok possesses.

“I wonder what it feels like to use demonic energy? Somehow it seems fun…!”

For a moment she thought it might be dangerous, but quickly dismissed the thought.

What’s a little danger compared to going crazy from boredom if she stayed like this?

“Hehe… This is exciting~”

Rachel spun around like a ballerina, giggling.

She already seemed out of her mind.

“Alright! Let’s start!”

Rachel concentrated and looked at Hyun-seok.

As a dedicated fairy, she should be able to sense the demonic energy since she shares his magical power.

‘Ooh, I can feel it!’

As she focused her consciousness, she began to sense an alien force different from magical power inside Hyun-seok.

‘So this is demonic ey! If I just take a little bit and use it…!’

Rachel began drawing demonic energy from Hyun-seok’s body.

***

At the same time.

Unaware of what Rachel was up to, Hyun-seok was still fully focused on creating Fighting Techniques.

“Why is this demonic energy so finicky? It’s fine when left alone but goes crazy like a madman when it meets magical power…”

While he was deep in thought about utilizing demonic energy.

An unidentifiable strange cry came from behind.

“Eugyagyagyagyagak-!”

Hyun-seok’s expression wrinkled.

“Rachel. I told you to be quiet because I need to concentrate.”

“Uweek! Eugyagak!”

“What are you doing now…”

When Hyun-seok turned around to check the situation, he was startled.

“R-Rachel! What’s wrong!?”

Rachel was writhing on the floor with her eyes rolled back.

Foam was dripping from her mouth – it looked dangerous at a glance.

“Hey! Get a hold of yourself! What’s wrong!?”

“H-Hero…”

“What on earth happened!? Huh!?”

“D-demo-nic e-ner-gy us-used…”

Though broken, her words were understandable.

“You used my demonic energy? Why on earth!?”

“T-too b-bored…”

She used demonic energy because she was bored.

Hyun-seok was beyond dumbfounded.

‘This is really dangerous…’

Hyun-seok knew best the pain of demonic energy rampaging inside the body.

Uncontrolled demonic energy races through the entire body, dissolving it from the inside.

Even if it was just a small amount, Rachel must be feeling pain like being burned alive right now.

“H-Hero… G-going to d-die… Kek!”

Suddenly Rachel’s eyes rolled back.

Hyun-seok slapped Rachel’s cheeks repeatedly with his fingers.

“Rachel? Hey! Wake up!”

“…”

“Rachel! You stupid girl!”

“What did you say!? Hero! Just because you can speak doesn’t mean you can say anything!”

Rachel jumped up shouting.

“Oh? So you’re alive?”

“Phew… All the demonic energy disappeared. Really lucky I only took a tiny bit, if I’d taken any more I could have died!”

Rachel put her hand on her chest and sighed.

‘You’re the weird one for bouncing back so quickly after experiencing that pain…’

Anyway, it was fortunate she was alive, but her mental fortitude was scary.

‘Still, I should warn her.’

He needed to prevent Rachel from doing such dangerous things again.

Hyun-seok put on a stern expression.

“Never do that again. Demonic energy goes crazy like you just saw when it meets magical power. Its aggressiveness increases several times compared to normal…”

Hyun-seok suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

A thought had flashed through his mind.

‘Wait. Do I really need to force these opposing forces together?’

Hyun-seok’s goal was to use demonic energy and magical power simultaneously.

But demonic energy becomes uncontrollable when it meets magical power, making that impossible.

‘Then why not use it in that state?’

The advantage of demonic energy is its aggressiveness.

Is there any need to change the situation where that advantage is maximized?

Release the rampaging demonic energy as is.

If successful, he might be able to achieve much stronger power with the same demonic energy.

‘It’s dangerous, but worth trying.’

Hyun-seok patted Rachel’s head.

“Thanks. Thanks to you, I thought of a solution!”

“Huh?”

“Great! Finally moving forward!”

“Y-yeah! Let’s do our best!”

Rachel thrust her fist up energetically.

Though she didn’t know what happened, it seemed she had helped Hyun-seok.

‘Heheh! See, Hero really can’t do without me!’

Hyun-seok was happy to have found a solution.

Rachel was happy to have found her usefulness.

It was a happy day for everyone after a long time.
