Not All Heroes From Earth Are Bad-Chapter 31
In a dark room.
Hyun-seok was letting out suggestive moans.
“Mmmmn…”
“Lick! Lick!”
“Ahh… You’re moving too fast…”
Bobo was licking Hyun-seok’s face with his rough tongue.
Hyun-seok kept muttering nonsense while squirming.
“Lick!”
“Wait… You’re being too aggressive…”
Hyun-seok’s face was completely covered in saliva.
Whatever dream he was having, his face was flushed bright red.
Rachel, who was beside him, put on her best expression of disdain.
“Sigh…”
“Ahh… Not there…!”
“W-what are you saying!? You crazy perverted hero!”
Rachel reflexively struck Hyun-seok’s nose bridge.
Suddenly hit on the nose, Hyun-seok’s eyes flew open.
“Shit!”
Hyun-seok jumped up with a curse.
His eyes open now, he looked around in confusion.
“Uh… What’s going on?”
“What do you mean what? You were dreaming.”
“Dream?”
His expression was still dazed, apparently not yet grasping reality.
Rachel frowned deeply and pressed him.
“Hero! Just what kind of dream were you having!?”
“Ah, well…”
After pondering for a moment, Hyun-seok shook his head.
“It was nothing.”
He couldn’t admit he’d dreamed of Abelson pouncing on him even with a knife to his throat.
▫Abilities: Pickaxe Usage (C), Leadership(E), Cooking(F), Magic Power(D)
▫Skills: Reidrun-style Fighting Technique
Seeing his status window, Hyun-seok smiled brightly.
“As expected, it went up!”
As he predicted, his level had increased.
Not just by one or two, but by a whole 12 levels.
Besides leveling up, his magic and stamina each increased by 1, and for some reason his charisma went up by 3 points.
However, what made Hyun-seok happiest was something else.
“Magic Power… So it wasn’t my imagination.”
The Magic Power (D) in the ‘Abilities’ section.
That was F-rank before the duel had risen to D-rank.
The two-rank increase during battle wasn’t a dream.
“Huh… Is this even possible?”
“What is it?”
“During the battle, my Magic Power went from F to D rank. Does it usually increase this easily?”
“What!? That’s impossible!”
Rachel exclaimed in surprise, making a fuss.
“That’s completely unprecedented! This is something that should be recorded in the hero textbooks!”
“Is it that significant?”
“Of course! It’s amazing enough that you learned Magic Power in just a few days, but to raise it two ranks in one day? If you told other people, they’d call you a liar!”
“Oho…”
Being praised so enthusiastically didn’t feel bad at all.
“As expected of an SSS-rank potential hero! But what’s your secret?”
“What secret?”
“I heard that such explosive growth usually comes with some kind of awakening trigger.”
“A trigger…”
After thinking for a moment, Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
“Well, I just wanted to live.”
He absolutely couldn’t mention Abelson.
The moment he says he awakened for a date,
Rachel’s admiring gaze would turn into one of disgust.
“Well, anyway, winning is what matters, right?”
“That’s right. Haha!”
In the end, he survived and grew stronger.
“Ah, before I forget, I need to invest my bonus points. Should spread them evenly, right?”
“That would be good.”
Choi Hyun-seok invested all 12 points mainly in agility, which was relatively lacking.
His changed stats were as follows:
▫Level: 212
After investing all bonus points, coincidentally everything aligned at exactly 83.
“Good.”
Seeing the clean stats made him feel oddly satisfied.
Just as Choi Hyun-seok was getting up from his seat.

Thud.
Something fell to the floor.
“A note?”
Choi Hyun-seok picked up the fallen paper.
After unfolding the neatly folded note, his face hardened.
“This is…”
The paper contained something completely unexpected.
“See you in the castle courtyard after evening time tomorrow.”
An actual date invitation.
Choi Hyun-seok’s stiff face turned bright red.
“He, hehe… Hehehe…”
Laughter involuntarily leaked out.
Rachel’s lips protruded fully as she watched from the side.
Rachel, who had been puffing her cheeks, suddenly shouted.
“Hero!!!”
“Geez! Why are you screaming?! I’m not deaf.”
“Your smile’s reaching your ears. Are you that happy!?”
“W-what are you talking about! This is… This is a duel challenge note!”
“A duel!? Are you planning to have a lip-pressing match!?”
“No…!”
“Hmph! I saw everything while you were in dreamland earlier!”
Choi Hyun-seok made a deflated expression.
“You should’ve said that earlier.”
“Anyway, Hero!!!”
“What.”
“Do you like that woman that much?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s cheeks turned bright red at the direct question.
“N-no…”
The sight of a massive muscular man turning his head away with a coy expression was quite repulsive.
“No way! I know you were talking with that woman even while fighting the Orc!?”
“Ahem! If you knew, why ask!?”
Since he was already caught, Choi Hyun-seok decided to be bold about it.
‘There’s no reason for me to back down, is there?’
He is the hero, and Rachel is his dedicated fairy.
What had Rachel said before going to this other world anyway?
“Wait a minute… Weren’t you the one who said that in the other world, I could have wealth, honor, and beautiful women all to myself?”
He remembered clearly.
“Wealth! Honor! Beautiful women for a grand adventure!”
“A hero can do anything!”
He couldn’t help but remember falling for Rachel’s sales pitch.
Choi Hyun-seok felt increasingly wronged.
“What exactly have I had all to myself since coming here!?”
The only thing he had exclusively in this other world was the love of a bull-head demon race.
“I’m not even asking for anything that grand anymore…”
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been muttering with a pitiful expression, suddenly widened his eyes.
“Let me date too!”
“…”
“After struggling like a dog in this other world, I’m finally seeing some light! Huh!? I just want to date someone! Is that a problem!?”
His glaring eyes looked concerning.
As he spoke, he became genuinely angry.
“Okay, okay, just calm down…”
Rachel carefully backed away.
She had to admit she had touched a nerve.
‘He’s completely lost it…’
The vengeful spirit of an old bachelor was stronger than she had thought.
“Yeah! Let me see some bunny-like kids too!”
“Kyaa! You’re spitting!”
“Ptoo ptoo ptoo ptoo!”
Choi Hyun-seok kept barking all through the night.
***
Abelson Mariette was thinking about Choi Hyun-seok.
Her evaluation of Choi Hyun-seok could be summarized in one sentence:
‘A strange person.’
Their first meeting was definitely the worst.
Suddenly calling her an angel and asking for a kiss.
She thought there couldn’t be a bigger madman.
But after realizing that was a misunderstanding,
And watching Choi Hyun-seok train, her opinion gradually changed.
‘He’s abnormal in many ways.’
Choi Hyun-seok was even more insane than she had thought.
He would persistently cling on even while getting hit.
And then his talent was so incredible that in just three days, he not only learned to control magic but even mastered fighting aura.
Abelson knew how impossible this was.
‘It usually takes over a month for a formal knight to learn fighting aura.’
Moreover, Choi Hyun-seok had just awakened to magic right in front of her.
For such a man to immediately learn fighting aura?
This was like a baby who just learned to walk suddenly standing up and doing a hundred backflips.
And Choi Hyun-seok had accomplished such an insane feat.
‘Even for a warrior, that should be impossible.’
She had seen countless warriors until now.
Among them, there were certainly some whose strength transcended imagination.
Nevertheless, Abelson was certain.
Choi Hyun-seok’s talent overwhelmed all heroes.
‘How interesting.’
Abelson, who knew too much, had rather given up on everything.
To her, Choi Hyun-seok was a completely unexpected variable.
Not through established institutions, but in the extraordinary place called the Demon King’s Army territory.
Because he grew stronger without anyone knowing, his power could show its true worth.
‘Someday… He might be able to overturn everything.’
Although she knew the possibility was infinitely close to zero, he was still the only hope.
That’s why she accepted Choi Hyun-seok’s request the day before the duel.
‘Could you pray to that guy called God just once for me?’
‘Please just ask that I survive tomorrow without dying.’
Abelson prayed to God for the first time in a very long while.
To help this crazy hero.
She could confirm the result with her own eyes.
She still doesn’t know whether God really answered the prayer, or if the crazy hero just unleashed his insane potential.
Either way, it doesn’t matter.
In the end, Choi Hyun-seok overturned an unwinnable situation.
Even Abelson hadn’t thought he could win while watching the duel.
That alone was reason enough to have a conversation with him.
Creeak…
Abelson opened the door.
There stood guards with fierce expressions.
“What is it?”
These direct subordinates of Reidrun had extremely fierce faces.
Though they looked like they might hit you just for looking at them, Abelson knew that wasn’t the case.
The guards didn’t act unnecessarily harsh toward her.
Rather, she was treated quite well for a prisoner.
They had even readily accepted her request to watch the duel.
“I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?”
“I’d like to go for a walk.”
Finally, the time for the date had arrived.
