We Need a Solution! (3)
After finishing the battle, Han-bin and his group returned to the mansion.
They healed their wounds, restored their lost energy, and took a rest.
Meanwhile, Leon Hart spoke to Ryu Han-bin.
“Let me tell you what I learned..”
Those who had dealt with Han-bin had all responded similarly.
– Why are you so strong?
– Your physical abilities are too high!
It was the same for Leon Hart.
When he had first fought with Han-bin, he was impressed by Han-bin’s terrible power.
“Your physical abilities are incredible. It’s your greatest strength and merit.”
Ryu Han-bin had a blank look.
He knew it just as well.
“But…”
Leon Hart smiled bitterly.
“That’s not something I’d be very proud of, you know.”
Leon Hard had also met the Sword King Baotolt.
“The Sword King was superior to you today in terms of pure physical ability.”
However, Leon Hart had never been shocked by the Sword King, saying, ‘Why is your power so tremendous?’
Baotolt was overwhelming in strength and all aspects of Aura amount, Aura skill, swordsmanship, and combat experience.
“That means that your other skills are significantly lower than your physical ability.”
Han-bin frowned.
“No, that’s what you’ve been saying all this time! What’s the difference?”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64ce79d606107d003c23ea27", id: "pf-5140-1"}) Han-bin was fed up with nagging.
Leon Hart had been saying that Han-bin was behind in skills and swordsmanship compared to his physical abilities.
Wasn’t that why he worked so hard to get to where he was?
“The difference is that there was something I overlooked.”
Leon Hart sighed and continued.
“I didn’t evaluate how low your other abilities are compared to your physical talent.”
Leon Hart had been working for a long time to develop a new realm called the Spiritual Boxer.
And with his knowledge and wisdom, he led Han-bin and his party to become stronger.
“However, my level is only 112.”
No matter how experienced and enlightened he was, it was hard to judge someone on a higher level than himself properly.
He could only guess somewhat higher than him since he had never reached such a league yet.
“But once I recognized the problem, I focused on it, and I found out.”
Looking straight at Ryu Han-bin, Leon Hart talked seriously.
“Han-bin, what level do you think you were at when you first fell to Latna?”
* * *
Ryu Han-bin agonized.
‘What level was I actually at that time?’
Due to the Guideline error, he had no means of knowing his true level at the time.
But since that he had been through a lot, he could guess a little bit.
“Wasn’t it mostly level 80?”
It was higher than Alejandro, a level 75 Magic Swordsman.
However, he wasn’t overwhelming enough to defeat anyone easily.
At that time, he didn’t know Aura, and he was only a third-rate swordsman because he was self-taught.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"}) Afterward, he got a Maxbrid Martial Arts book to fill in the gaps in his swordsmanship.
“I had a hard time against the Blood Sucker Queen. If I didn’t learn Aura, I might have lost. So that’s about level 85?”
Leon Hart agreed.
“That’s what I think. You were so out of balance at the time.”
His physical ability was so overwhelming that when he pushed his opponent, he showed brute strength that was over almost level 100.
However, because he didn’t know Aura and his swordsmanship was poor, he quickly fell below level 70 when he got to a strategic disadvantage.
“You were a half-baked warrior who was only good at what he knew. That’s why that was your level.”
Afterward, he luckily unlocked Aura by fighting against the Blood Sucker Queen.
“It would have been a natural result rather than a lucky one.”
Han-bin asked a question when he saw Leon Heart smiling.
“What do you mean by a natural result?”
“Isn’t that what Hunters usually use to awaken their Aura? Anyway, I’ll explain this later…”
With a wave of his hand, Leon Hart returned to the main subject.
“You’ve learned how to pull up Aura and manage them. It must have been too much for you to read the Maxbrid Martial Arts book, so it was thanks to Ms. Effir’s help that your swordsmanship became better.”
The silver-haired girl listening next to her expressed humbleness, twisting her body.
“Hey, it was nothing. I’ve gained way more help in return!”
Since then, Han-bin gained the Sword King’s sword skill, and his skills had greatly improved.
And he fought Leon Hart for the first time.
“What was your actual level at that time?”
That was too easy to guess.
“I was in my early 110s, I guess.”
Since Leon Heart was level 112 at that time, Ryu Han-bin was around that level.
“Then I have another question here.”
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"}) Leon Hart asked with a strange smirk.
“Then what level is your Aura’s operational capability?”
After learning the Aura skills, Ryu Han-bin still had higher physical abilities than other factors.
If he roughly guessed its level…
“Uh… Level 100?”
“No way.”
Leon Hart shook his head.
“Your Aura operational capability is at least level 80. I realized it.”
Unconvinced, Ryu Han-bin frowned.
He tried his best to train after he learned the Aura skill.
Han-bin considered himself to have reached a significant level.
Even during the battle, it was so real that he became much stronger.
“But that’s all I gained?”
Leon Hart snorted.
“Isn’t that natural? You can’t acquire new skills whenever you level up as other Aliens do.”
Ryu Han-bin had been training Aura for only a few months.
Ordinary Latnains would’ve stuck to the basic skills in doing so.
“It’s impossible to achieve that considering the level of your martial art. Since your physical ability supported and raised it so much, it became possible with your ordinary talent.”
Ryu Han-bin’s Aura amount had increased dramatically after taking the Sacred Heart of Darkness.
He even digested the Aura completely and made it his own.
“After that, you had an equal battle with six Aliens of around level 100 before you activated your fighting spirit.”
Then, it could be said that his estimated level was 120.
“With the Aura operational capability of level 80, you’ve shown a level 120 performance. It means that your superior physical ability and your vast amount of Aura have filled the gaps.”
Only then did Ryu Han-bin understand.
“So, now that I’m up to this level, my Aura operational capability is worse than my physical abilities.”
“Yes, that’s what I overlooked.”
Sighing, Leon Hart continued.
“I thought you’ve been good at using Aura. Still, you didn’t have a good balance in the first place.”
Let’s say there was a statue with a left-arm ten times bigger than the right arm.
It would seem out of balance to anyone.
The sculptor then worked hard and made the right arm five times bigger to match the left arm.
Those who were watching the process from the side would say:
-Oh! It’s more balanced now!
But still, the statue was just a deformity whose left arm was twice as large as its right arm.
“Since you’ve been busy catching up, I’ve overlooked your problem, too.”
While blinking his eyes, Han-bin asked a question.
“Wait! So, what level am I in terms of ability?”
“I think…”
After breathing for a while, Leon Hart spoke.
“Han-bin, I think your physical abilities are comparable to Aliens of level 140.”
* * *
Artis and Effir’s jaws dropped.
“Oh, my God, level 140?”
“That’s incredible…”
They could get the answers they had when they first met Han-bin.
They wondered how a person who couldn’t use Aura and whose swordsmanship was poor could be so strong. However, his basic skills were far higher than they had imagined.
He nodded at Kibie.
“I’ve always wondered why the Sacred Heart of Darkness worked so well.”
Even if the chosen Latnain took the sacred item, the quadruple amplification was limited to double amplification.
His abilities wouldn’t have been amplified as many times as Ryu Han-bin.
The result was, therefore, advantageous for them. Hence, she just thought Han-bin got along with the sacred item particularly well. However, it was also a strange story that Aliens were better than Latnains.
“Since you have a big capacity, you could take that much.”
Leon Hart summarized the explanation.
“In other words, Han-bin now has a level 140 of physical ability and a level 140 of Aura.”
Han-bin casually turned on the Guideline.
He then checked his status window.
[Ryu Han-bin: Swordsman Lv.6
Acquired skills: Stab, Crosscut, Vertical Cut, Diagonal cutting, Language communication
Absolute Skill: Lord throughout Heaven and Earth
Muscle strength 27 (+1,364), stamina 23 (+1,364), resilience 17 (+682), defense 18 (+1,364), fuselage vision 7 (+341), reflexes 9 (+341), and explosive power 10 (+341).]
If instead of level 6, he was at level 140, then he fully understood the tremendous additional trait points.
“Oh, then I’m level 140?”
“Not at all.”
Leon Hart scolded him right away.
“Don’t be mistaken. That’s how just much physical strength and amount of the Aura you have.”
The power of his swordsmanship, Aura skills, and Aura operational skills was still far behind.
Hence, his overall combat capability was just level 120.
Ryu Han-bin sighed deeply.
“If my Guideline were fine, I could have used all my Aura skills up to level 140.”
It seemed to be why human greed was endless.
Until that point, he considered it fortunate that the devil couldn’t sway him as he did with the other Aliens, but at that moment, he felt as if it was unfair.
“It would’ve been better if only the level display function is broken, but the skill attainment remained the functional”
However, Leon Hart shook his head in disagreement.
“That’s why I said it’s a good thing.”
“What?”
“If you were an ordinary level 140 Alien and you acquired Aura skills through leveling up like the rest…”
He continued with great relief.
“It would have been hard to expect any further development from you.”
* * *
There was only one way for other Aliens to be strong.
It was to raise their level by hunting monsters and Latnains day and night.
On the other hand, Ryu Han-bin had steadily grown stronger without the help of the Guideline.
When he first fell into Latna, his level was only 5.
According to the Guideline, the only thing that had risen to a fraction of the ability level was that.
But didn’t he get stronger constantly?
“You can learn and master skills. It’s a tremendous advantage that no other Aliens have.”
Han-bin asked a question, bewilderment on his face.
“What’s the difference between other Earthlings and me? It’s not just about mastering a Guideline skill, but also the martial arts skills.”
He didn’t understand what the advantage was.
‘The South American man I met before was also carrying around the Maxbrid Martial Arts book.’
Leon Hart laughed.
“Aliens can only learn other things while their level is low. As their level goes up, at some point, it becomes impossible.”
It didn’t apply to Ryu Han-bin, but it was a mockery of other people who relied only on the Guidelines to become stronger.
“They get off to a bad start.”
