From No Body To Hero
Episode 9

They all followed Bern from behind. An hour had passed and it had been more than 50 times that they had met with a dead end. But even Bern did not speak like the others complained as if he was fine to repeat from the beginning.

'Is he really Bern or fake?'

Uen wants to touch her but she is afraid to destroy her sister's hopes of continuing to follow Bern for 3 weeks if it's really a fake Bern.

Lewis walks close to Anton because he is uncomfortable with Zion's sharp gaze. Anton understands it because he's been through it 3 weeks. What else is Lewis from among the less.

Ailen began to get annoyed to see Bern continue walking without thinking about what strategy pound. But the problem is why his team mates follow Bern?

Well, it's not strange because Zion's also following Bern. As the Duke's son who would work for the kingdom in the future, he could only quietly follow this one royal family.

Bern stopped and looked around. His eyes turned cold.

"My gut feeling is bad."

That was Bern's first speech. Anton jerks. The last time Bern felt his premonition was bad, a buffalo ghost appeared. He also began to look around.

'But here is a teacher. That wouldn't be so bad, would it?'

Anton started to clutch his spear tightly.

Bern shook his head and started walking again. They all just followed him even though his face turned cold and very alert.

15 Minutes later.

They arrived at a dead end again. Ailen was already windy from earlier and wanted to destroy the wall.

"Something comes up."

Others were puzzled when Bern was 100% alert and Anton entered a battle-ready position.

Suddenly they all felt goosebumps on their noses.

Wiii!!!

The transportation magic circle appeared on a large scale until it reached the entire labyrinth.

"Taxi-portation circle?"

All students are confused. Zion then looked at Bern who was still calm despite the cold.

"[The heartbeat keeps beating, every beat can be felt.]"

All who were close to Bern gasped to see him could cast spells within the circle that suppressed their mana even when they were not magicians.

Bern closed his eyes and sensed the existence of everyone within the labyrinth. One by one they entered into a simple 2-circle white magic circle compared to the complicated transportation circle.

"Ha.... Huh...."

With a calm but slightly heavy breath, Bern opened his eyes that were as calm as a lake but looked menacing as a snake ready to peg. His eyes glowed blue as it took up the mana around him aggressively.

"[The places are all different, but still on the same ground.]"

One by one the students who were in a circle were transported by Bern. It wasn't any small-scale magic anymore when inside a powerful opponent's circle. Bern really should use everything.

It ranges from the farthest to the nearest. But before it could move the team around it, the big circle was active.

Sha________

Awoooooooooo!!!!

Yoooooooooow!!!!

The sound of rain and the roar of demons entered their ears all. But everything was dark like night crashing by day. Slowly, their hair and pupils exchanged a black color that looked disgusting.

There is only one place that can change the color of the hair and the pupils of the eyes change.

"Ohuk..."'

Anton regained his senses and immediately ran towards Bern.

"Bern!!! What-! !!?"

Bern who was coughing bloody covered Anton's mouth.

"Are you crazy? We're probably in the enemy's lair now."

Anton was silent. Although Bern was bleeding, he could still be sane-minded.

"Well....."

Anton sighed to calm himself. He could see Bern's shivering hand.

"Are you okay?"

Bern stood up to answer that.

It looks like he's fine. But he can feel his stomach as in the somersault and some other organs.

Bern swallowed his blood. He could not show his weak side when the person he was with was a small child in his eyes.

"Are we in the black rain forest?"

Lewis said that when he put his hand up and the water in the back was black.

It was the abode of the demonic beasts that were on the wall because of the many demons that lived there.

Ailen frowned as she was wet with rainwater that looked even dirtier than mud. Uen also massaged his nostrils feeling frustrated. He never even sat on the ground.

Bern went towards them and bowed.

"sorry. If only I had been faster, you wouldn't have been involved."

Bern submitted to them from among the nobility. Ailen, Uen and Zion. Ailen and Uen sighed. Even if they were frustrated, they couldn't blame the person who had already bathed blood for it.

But Zion was silent empty. He clutched his magic wand firmly. He couldn't do apapon back then.

'Can I be like that too? Can I act to help someone? Can I?'

As a witch, she was amazed by Bern. But he felt useless every time he saw Bern cast a powerful magic.

'Is this the real reason why he doesn't want to be friends with me?'

Strong people always want only the strong at their side so as not to be their burden. Is that how Bern feels?

"awake. When do you want to sit?"

Bern extended his hand to Zion who was still empty.

Zion wanted to take the hand but stopped.

'I'm just a burden....'

But Bern pulled Zion's hand and made her stand up.

"Focus."

Zion's eyes are round. He was out of his mind for a moment.

'But I'm still a burden....'

Zion's down again.

Everyone stared towards the sound of a powerful enough punch.

Zion was shocked when her back was hit hard enough from Bern that she stood up.

"Focused. Don't think of anything useless. No one dies around me."

Bern said it thought Zion was afraid of the roar of a demonic beast and thought she was going to die with that desperate face.

Bern immediately turned around so he could not see Zion's sparkling eyes.

'That means he thinks of me, his friend, doesn't it!!?'

Zion excitedly started going towards Uen. He could not get close to Bern considering Bern was a serious man in action.

"What if we go to a village near here?"

Lewis says it's remembering where it came from. His homeland, Black village. It is called black because the village is black and the inhabitants also have black hair and black pupils.

Everyone nodded. Lewis easily found a way because it was his homeland. The most kumoh village in the kingdom.

They arrived at a large and thick wall that blocked their path.

"[Wind is always there, no matter day or night.]"

The wind started to appear at their feet and they quickly passed through the 10-meter-high wall and saw the village there.

Bern already saw the strangeness there.

'Ugh....'

Bern groaned from within and swallowed his blood again. The mana cannot be stabilized.

A black-robed person with a height of 2 meters and a huge muscularity landed on top of the wall without a sound.

'Interesting.'

The man looked at Bern with great interest.

Bern gasped and looked towards the wall. But with black rain covering his view, the 10-meter distance was a blind spot for Bern.

They're moving to Black's village. Not long after walking, they arrived at the entrance of the village.

"Who are you!!?"

A middle-aged woman with a well-fed body and quivering pupils hoeed at them.

Uen and Ailen wanted to take their weapons. Dare the commoners to mess something up with the royal family and nobles!

However Bern raised his hand like he felt the anger of the two of them.

The already hot Ailen wanted to shout dissatisfied when Bern acted like the chairman.

Bern opened his eyes and turned to look at the two of them as if they were dead if they even said a word.

Ailen who was hot arrived instantly silent like a good boy and Uen just massaged the stem of his nose to calm down.

Anton is somewhat surprised to see eyes so cold and threatens Bern for the first time. Zion just goosebumps hiding behind Uen though not wrong.

"Makcik Yin."

Lewis went forward as if so that no fighting took place. What Yin did was wrong and could be said to threaten the royal family.

"Lewis? Why are you here? Aren't you at the Luxana Academy?"

Aunt Yin dropped her hoe and checked Lewis's condition.

"I don't know what happened either. But there's a rope circle coming up to get us here."

Lewis, however, felt something strange. The village feels a little more always.

"Sir, where are the others?"

Lewis asked because he felt a strange feeling.

"They went out and took food in the city. Many who go also participate."

Aunt Yin softly explained that and their laughers all entered. Bern could see Yin's worried face.

They were taken to an inn that was nothing more than a stallion. The name is also the most kumoh area, surely the inn is also not feasible in habitation.

"[Fire is a friend.]"

Bern burning firewood made the room a little warmer. Everyone was sitting around the fire except for Uen and Ailen.

Ailen wrinkled and Uen massaged the stem of her nose even stronger. But given the tiredness of the journey they went through, they ended up sitting down as well.

"So you're from this village, Lewis. It's just that you seem to know a lot."

Lewis just bowed as if embarrassed by Anton's praise.

"Given that you don't have a surname, I should've thought."

Anton spoke as if amazed Lewis could enter the Luxana academy that is very expensive.

"Why is a person without a surname a commoner?"

Bern asked and Anton did not believe it.

"Yes my friend! Which world have you lived in!?"

Anton spoke in a joking tone. Bern who has been told to work since he can walk certainly does not know it.

But Bern looks awkward with that. Bern was now actually living in another world before.

"It's like I have a surname because my family in the future might reach the Baron level. Young master Ailen is the son of the Duke and his highness the prince is the royal family. You too, just your Baron family collapsed because of your grandfather's greed and be you now."

Bern nodded in understanding. He is not interested in the social life of a person.

"Talking about that, this is not the land of the Marquis Zeke city area, right. Why didn't he help the village? The village seems to be short of food."

Anton thought that because he knew very well the shortcomings of an area. It was also because he was a family of successful merchants that might become Barons.

Uen and Ailen started thinking about it. There was not enough food there. How does a Marquis guard his territory?

"Of course they can't come to help. This village, no, this town is going through a mass abduction."

Bern calmly said that while throwing one firewood into the fire.

Everything was silent there making the sound of fire fill the room.
