Chapter 2425 The Hero's Secret
Sato Kazuma disagreed with Duran very much, but he only said it in his heart and didn't dare to say it openly, because he knew Duran was not a guy who was easy to mess with. His psychological activity was like this: not everyone is so lucky to have so many skill points. His starting point is so low, and there is a burden. How can a few light-hearted motivational words explain that he has to start from scratch? The man in front of him didn't understand him at all. There are too many self-righteous successful people in this world, so these otakus have no living space.
Obviously, he has a lot of dissatisfaction with the successful people represented by Duran, but he seems to have forgotten that he chose the goddess instead of the artifact. Now he thinks that it is his own fault that the goddess drags him down.
Before the adventure began, with the help of the stupid goddess, the two of them have already borne a debt of 130,000. After leaving the hotel, Sato Kazuma wanted to cry but had no tears. He looked up at the night sky full of stars within reach, speechless and choked. How should he live in the future? No, I can't continue to be a bricklayer. I have to fight monsters. I have to collect money as soon as possible to buy the cheapest equipment, otherwise I will go crazy.
"By the way, Aqua, give me the knife you bought." Since there is no refund, just use this knife to kill monsters. It's the same anyway.
"Here you go."
Pulling out the knife, Kazuma nodded slightly. It seems very useful: "Tomorrow, our adventure will open a new page. One day I will make the whole world look at me with new eyes."
Seeing Kazuma so energetic, Aqua nodded immediately. That's right. Only if Kazuma defeats the demon king can she return to heaven, so she supports Kazuma's efforts to make progress.
So the next day, they went out of the city to challenge the monsters around the novice village. Monsters are seasonal like dealers. The most popular monster now is naturally the giant toad. Now is the time for them to lay eggs. At this time of year, the novice village will be harassed by them, and livestock and people will often be eaten. However, these giant toads are also very delicious ingredients and are deeply loved by everyone.
Although they are huge, hunting them is not difficult. Just attract their attention and then attack them. But be careful, you need to kill them with a sword blade, not a sledgehammer or a fist, because hitting attacks have no effect on toads. You must pierce their skin, just like bursting a balloon.
However, the hunting was not smooth, and the two were chased by a lone toad on the grassland and fled like dogs.
"Friendship, hard work, victory!" At this time, two rows of adventurers passed by not far away, shouting slogans side by side, as if the school sports club was preparing for the national competition, and followed by a coach riding a bicycle with a bamboo sword.
"Speak louder, you haven't eaten yet, the coach said that you can't hear it, so you still want to be a paladin?!" The coach who trained adventurers on bicycles was Duran.
"Friendship, hard work, victory--" The adventurers who participated in the training shouted at the top of their voices.
"Good, very energetic." Duran braked and stopped the bicycle: "Right here, stop, running training ends here, next is mental training, all of you do 300 standard Kamehameha movements for me."
"Yes!" All adventurers stopped where they were and began to practice Kamehameha.
"Concentrate all the energy between your hands, and then shoot it out like a man." Duran's lines were also very bad, but serious, as if Kamehameha and Paladin really had something to do.
"Kame! Ka! Qigong--" Not only did it have movements, but it also matched the sound.
Duran looked at the two people fighting monsters not far away. It took them a long time to fight a giant toad. With this efficiency, by the time they defeated the demon king, the world would have been hopeless.
Sato Kazuma looked at these training guys and thought that the idiots in the other world seemed to be an infectious disease, and he couldn't be infected.
"Good opportunity." Just when the goddess was swallowed by the toad, Kazuma immediately confronted her and killed a toad with his Zanpakuto.
The goddess was in a mess at this time, with sticky mucus all over her body, and she had to add holy light. As a noble goddess, she was almost eaten by a low-level monster. Her dignity was shattered.
However, the goddess was eaten the second time, giving Kazuma another chance.
"Wow..." The goddess cried.
They only killed two toads all day, and they were alone. They didn't dare to provoke the toad group.
"It's not feasible to rely on us alone. We have to recruit teammates." Kazuma was silent for a long time and came to a conclusion, that is, adventurers should look like adventurers. The goddess can't be considered an adventurer at all, so he has to find other teammates.
I just don't know if I can find them. The two preys can be worth some money. Eating is not a problem during this period. Unfortunately, I have to pay off my debts. This stupid goddess had better restrain herself and don't spend money recklessly again.
Just when Kazuma and the goddess were about to go back, countless crosses of holy light were erected behind them. The evening sun was dim. Those crosses were too dazzling, which made the earth brighter. The holy light dozens of meters high stood like a giant tribe migrating.
When Kazuma and the goddess turned around, the practitioners who were just training Kamehameha were already cleaning up the mess. The giant toad here had been completely destroyed. Duran was seen standing on the low hill, holding a bamboo sword, leaving a determined and unyielding back. It was obvious that he had just tried out his skills.
Just one strike? The toads in this area were cleared out? Is this the strength of a paladin? No wonder he was regarded as a hero, and Kazuma's self-esteem was also hit. The gap is too big.
"So amazing, Kazuma, do you want to join Duran's Holy Light training class? I heard that the registration fee is only 20,000 Eris, and it is guaranteed to teach you. These people are all his students." The goddess' eyes were full of stars: "I also want to learn Holy Light, it's so cool."
"Aren't you a goddess? Do you still want Holy Light?"
Aqua said: "Of course it's different. Holy Light is much cooler than my Divine Light Fist. Power is not a problem. Handsomeness is the most important thing. Do you think these moves of Duran are handsome? It's so handsome, okay? The most important thing for an adventurer is to be handsome, Kazuma, why don't you understand."
"I don't understand, but I know I won't let you spend money indiscriminately again, stupid goddess, go back to the Adventurer's Guild, we will hand in the task, and then go to recruit team members." Sato Kazuma took the goddess away.
Duran is indeed always posing like a hero. Doing good deeds is only one part of being a hero, and being handsome is another part. If a hero is not handsome, the public will not accept him, and may even question his ability. Therefore, Duran not only has to do practical things, but also has to reproduce various classic heroic poses.
Duran even published a book called "One Hundred Essential Heroic Postures". Mastering so many heroic moves is not invincible. At the same time, Duran will teach these moves to his students without reservation, teaching them how to be like a hero anytime and anywhere.
