He’d calculated each forehead flick aimed at the other six by the door so it wouldn’t hit any of the other shops. He’d sent them flying toward open spaces—but it looked like they were all still destined to smash into this noodle shop.
【Killed 6 people. Your current class cannot gain EXP.】
Ye Su: “……”
I worked so hard. I really tried to control my strength, so why did this still happen?! Or am I just ridiculously strong? And this is without any skills or equipment.
Only one left. He looked at the man still wearing a sly grin. Was his name Cohen?
He went straight over and delivered a practiced flick. It landed on the man’s abdomen, of course—if he’d hit him in the head, it would’ve been open-brain surgery.
“Whew... home run.” Watching Cohen fly off into the distance, Ye Su muttered to himself.
He waited a moment, but no notification appeared.
Ye Su drew in a sharp breath.
A survivor...! So the boss really is something else! He actually caught one of my forehead flicks—after I’d trained seven times and weakened it by who knows how many times! Amazing!
He glanced at the status list.
Cohen 【Greatsword Warrior Lv. 30】
Title: 【B-Rank Adventurer】
Health: 5/240
Magic: 90/90
Attack: 78
Spirit: 15
Defense: 50
He had five health left and was already on the brink of death. In that case, Ye Su would leave one alive for the young shopkeeper.
Ye Su felt perfectly calm. He’d killed people, but he felt nothing at all. It was as if... it didn’t feel real. Rather than killing people, it was more like playing a game.
Like taking out a few monsters. It was hard to feel anything, hard to get worked up.
It definitely wasn’t because he was cold-blooded! This had to be the status list’s fault! Ye Su figured the 999 in his Spirit stat was the reason. Maybe it made him mentally tough enough not to be affected. Maybe even a charm skill wouldn’t faze him.
To an outside observer, Ye Su’s unhurried attack had taken only 0.2 seconds...
Kuxi felt as if a storm had just swept through. The air pressure from Ye Su moving and striking people was everywhere, and she could barely breathe.
At the same time, the blood and the chunks of wall that had still been drifting through the air finally hit the ground.
Ye Su ambled back to where he’d been standing before.
A scream rang out of nowhere. Kuxi stared in shock. What had just happened? Her little shop had been wrecked in the blink of an eye!
And there was blood all over the walls. The people who’d threatened her were nowhere to be seen.
She’d only felt Ye Su move, and then all of this had suddenly happened. She hadn’t seen what went on.
She knew it seemed impossible, but her neck felt frozen as she slowly turned toward Ye Su, her expression stiff with fear.
“Did... did you do something?”
Uh... of course she’d noticed. It wasn’t like time had stopped; he’d only overwhelmed them with his speed.
But he hadn’t figured out what to say. Someone his age and size shouldn’t have been able to do any of that—and the whole GM thing wasn’t something he could explain, or even talk about.
“Well, it was me. Could you keep it a secret?”
“Why? You’re so strong! Are you an A-Rank adventurer? No... you’re even stronger than my father. Could you be an S-Rank adventurer?” Kuxi gazed at Ye Su with delight, already holding his hand and refusing to let go.
“Well... you could say that. But please keep it a secret. Just think of me as an ordinary kid.” His GM stats were quite a bit higher than Fiona’s, so he should be at an S-Rank adventurer’s level.
Kuxi didn’t dwell on how a child could be so strong. She spoke at once.
“Sure! But... could I ask you for a favor?” Kuxi looked at him pleadingly. This child was actually one of the rare S-Rank adventurers in the Holy Kingdom. She felt her chances had just improved.
“Could you destroy that cursed Saint Cloth for me?”
