＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 3

Rediscovery(2)

“… … Zion. “What are you doing there?”

While I was staring at the “notepad” and thinking seriously, a voice suddenly appeared.

I looked back at him.

“You don’t look good.”

It was Dent, the orphanage’s swordsmanship instructor. I immediately thought of this because there was only one driver at this orphanage. I used to follow it quite a bit in the past.

I answered briefly.

“I am thinking.”

“What are you thinking?”

I feel like “Notepad” has grown a bit thanks to Libra, so I’m thinking about how I can use this to take down Libra.

I changed the words that were floating around in my mouth and spit them out.

“Thoughts like what should I do to help Libra?”

“… … That’s great. But it’s simple. All you have to do is win this match. Nursery school is also an important tradition in Libra. “The direct descendants of the main family will also be watching.”

Direct descendant.

At those words, I looked back at Dent. Dent cleared his throat.

“greatness. The smallest one will come. “Don’t expect too much.”

The smallest one.

It means not the eldest son, not the second son, not the eldest daughter, but the youngest, ‘Zia’.

Zia Celsien Libra Lane.

The smallest person who will later become the biggest person.

I know the history of Zia, who started with a legacy of only 5 million Ren and usurped the great family called ‘Libra’.

“is it so? that’s interesting. “I can’t believe the youngest is coming.”

To me she is mysterious.

As much as I hate it, my fear of it is also great.

Born as the half-daughter of this dreary family, she grew up without any status, killed, pushed out, and exiled her brothers and sisters, countless elders, collaterals, and relatives, and eventually monopolized Libra.

“okay. So work hard. like now… … “Don’t just sit still.”

Anyway, it looks like Dent has finally come to urge me on.

These people don’t know that I have Danjeon cancer.

Even I was in a denial stage at this point. Why, the five stages of denial – anger – bargaining – frustration – acceptance.

“Zion. You know because you grew up here. The orphanage is a legacy that should not disappear, and it is the humanity that Libra retains. so-”

“yes. I’ll try my best.”

I’m now used to saying things I don’t even mean to say.

“okay. Zion, aren’t you Libra’s faithful knight? “Just as your father was a knight of Libra until the very last moment.”

What the fuck—

I barely suppressed the words that wanted to come out like a cough.

I bit my lip and lowered my head, and Dent patted my shoulder and left.

The game that will determine the fate of the orphanage was scheduled for Friday, February 25th.

Is it because of that? The nine people who were selected as ‘Nursery Warriors’ woke up early in the morning and devoted themselves to various trainings, and were the last to go to sleep.

I was a little different. I slept for more than 8 hours a day, ate regularly, did my own training after meals, and occasionally sat on a bench to read a book and watch the 9 people.

–one! two! one! two!

Same thing this morning. Six men and three women running through the playground shouting slogans. Children, teenagers and teachers from orphanages sitting in the stands and cheering them on.

I am sitting on a bench in the park a little far away from there.

–one! two! one! two!

I have no intention of mixing with them.

I also grew up in an orphanage, but I didn’t have many good memories. To be precise, I couldn’t become familiar with the daycare center.

It was because he suffered from a very serious illness since childhood, and because his parents ‘had it’.

Children’s young minds sometimes turn into innocent evil.

They say we spread germs when we’re together – He smells weird – The scar on his head is disgusting – He must be an alien – I think he eats his own poop – He vomits all the time, making him dirty –

“Foot.”

When I close my eyes on this bench of memories, such young voices sometimes linger in my ears and make me smile.

Of course, it’s not the children’s fault.

However, all my memories of the orphanage are just filth, already covered in ‘later hatred.’

This is an orphanage that made enemies think they were benefactors in the first place. There are no such things as good memories, at least for me now.

… … anyway.

I am also training. It’s not heavy stuff like cardio, weights, swordsmanship, or spearmanship.

—Small shots are the foundation of the basics of boxing. It’s not just about taking steps, but it’s also a technique that helps you run explosively wherever you want to go.

Watching YouTV on your cell phone.

[Sengun] is a boxer mercenary’s U-TV channel. The current number of subscribers is 500,000.

[Sengun] is famous for his ability to compete with active senior knights. After 5 or 6 years, he will be able to start his own sect.

I plan to learn boxing through YouTube. Boxing is a highly versatile martial art, so the earlier you learn it, the better.

It’s not that I don’t have time to make money before returning, so I can’t afford to learn things like this.

“… … “Go away.”

Suddenly, a low, dissatisfied voice called out to me.

“hmm?”

I looked back there.

there was nothing.

“It’s not there. “It’s here.”

“… … what. where are you.”

“Berry, down here.”

A tone that rises slightly from below.

Behind the tree, two short children were half-hiding their bodies and glaring at me.

Jiiiing— Lasers are shooting out of the eyes.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Barry. “This is Belle.”

He walks out proudly while introducing himself, puts his hands on his stomach and bows. Be polite.

“uh. okay.”

Both are blonde, have chubby cheeks, and have big eyes. I mean, it’s pretty much cute. Even the way he glares at me.

“Do you have any business?”

Then Berry narrowed his big eyes.

“I heard you don’t do it alone, training.”

“… … Maja.”

The younger brother helps his older sister.

Ah, I guess I came here because I was dissatisfied with that.

I sighed and put down my phone.

“so?”

chuck-! Berry extended her little finger at me and exclaimed as if she were judging.

“Do you like it if my brother uses our house on his back?”

my house.

The choice of words is childlike.

“well. I don’t know about my house, but I’m also training. “Even though it’s like this, I still have physical talent.”

“lie. Always writing kamanhi… … .”

“Isseumyeongseo.”

The younger brother follows his older sister’s words.

I shrugged my shoulders.

“I’m not lying. “I have no intention of losing.”

Rather than wasting your body through things like running, it’s better to get in good shape first.

Even though it’s like this, there was a time when I worked as a deliveryman and cleaner before returning, so if I import ‘Perion’ from ‘Notepad’ here, I don’t think there’s a chance of winning at all.

Barry pouted his lips.

“Berry, you don’t know what you’re talking about. “If you don’t want to lose, you have to train.”

“… … “It’s a disaster.”

“I heard you’re doing it.”

I held up my smartphone to them.

—When this small thought develops, it becomes a ‘step’. The center of Bobeop is balance. It can also be called the center of gravity. Magical power must always be circulated in the lower body, not only when running but also when walking.

“look. I’m taking a boxing class right now. “I’m learning how to fight.”

Then Berry and Belle’s once sharp and sharp faces melted in an instant.

Both eyes suddenly became round and sparkling like deer.

“Wow… … It’s a smartphone… … .”

“Smart Cannon… … .”

“ok?”

Are smartphones amazing?

As I move the smartphone, the two pairs of eyes also move.

Well, I was able to buy it while secretly working a part-time job at the time. When it first opened, I almost cried in my arms.

He waved the smartphone and said.

“Do you want to try it too?”

“Whoa! really?!”

“Yes!”

“Come up here.”

When I made a gesture, Berry and Belle ran forward, waving their short arms and legs, and jumped on the bench.

“You know jelly, right? animated movie.”

“i know! “You can see it every Monday at 3 o’clock!”

“Yes!”

“I’ll show you that.”

I searched for Jelly on YouTube. There were several full videos.

[Jelly’s Winter Vacation]

“I’m watching.”

“thank you!”

“Hamni!”

All of a sudden, we forget about our complaints and put our heads together and stare intently at the smartphone screen.

“Wow… … “Jelly sledding.”

“It’s fun… … .”

I slowly got up. I was thinking of practicing the boxing moves I just saw.

“Just a little bit.”

I took a few steps just as UTV’s [Sengun] explained. Ta-da-da-da- I tried to follow along accurately, even if it was a bit slow, but my movements were strangely light. Like Sen-gun’s in the video.

“… … ?”

Something, something is a little strange.

Even in my opinion, the flow of my steps is too unusual.

“Ahh! Jelly falls. Cheer up Jelly… … .”

“eye patch!”

Of course, it wasn’t that I had no physical talent at all. Although he was a cancer patient, he easily learned most physical skills and made quite a name for himself as a janitor and deliveryman.

“… … what.”

But, something is different now.

I feel myself using this body.

Every time I take a step or extend my arm, it feels like the movements of [Sengun] in the video are replayed in my head, and I can perform the movements without any error.

Although he only watched the video once, he looked like an expert who had devoted a long time to boxing.

Pajik—!

I stuck a straight into the tree. The shell was broken. A clear fist mark appeared on the surface.

“… … .”

I was speechless for a moment.

However, the cause of this incredibly ‘amplified’ physical dexterity may be surprisingly easy to guess.

“Is this also because of the notepad?”

The spectrum is usually divided into active and passive. It’s the same as active skills and passive skills in RPG games.

In that respect, this phenomenon may be a ‘passive’ phenomenon of notepad.

Just like saving a file in a “notepad,” actions and martial arts are naturally remembered through the naked eye.

I’ve heard of similar talent somewhere.

Did you say ‘Luxido’?

Not a tuxedo, but a look-see-do.

The meaning is simply ‘see and follow’.

“… … “The body sees it first, remembers it, and follows it.”

The core of Luxido, that is, the notepad, is naturally involved in the process of seeing and ‘remembering.’

““Wow… … .””

I could hear the children’s exclamations.

I guess he was watching.

“Hmm.”

I peeled off the bark stuck between my fists. He smiled and looked back at the guys and said.

“… … “I might not lose this match-”

“Berry, please take care of everything~”

“It’s fun.”

Berry and Belle held out their smartphones with bright faces.

“I can show you next time… … ?”
