Dawn Traveler Chapter 12

[Human growth rate is too… That young one who laughed with a smile in a dungeon is already this big and has learned how to handle mana, to be that great. I wish dwarven children would also grow quickly. They only learn to drink beer early. They don’t listen.]

[It is good that he was able to feel mana. He is cut out to be a wizard. In my case, in just 30 minutes I realized mana. The start was slow, but if I teach him well in the future, later he should be able to research high rank magic.]

[That’s good.]

[I bore one great son. I also need to become a good mom.]

[From now on I must really train him properly.]

[This fellow originally knew how to breathe the breath of the forest, so of course he would soon know of Mother Nature’s mana.]

Yeon Woo’s tenth year plainly went by.

He became a 3rd grader in elementary school and his school grades were not so bad.

I don’t know why I have to learn such things like how to live honestly. To live correctly as written by the book, later on I will likely hear the sound of ‘fool’ without reserve.

His younger siblings also grew bigger.

Those screaming little kids that ate and pooped whenever they could, seemed to have grown faster than potatoes or sweet potatoes. (EN: about 3-5 months)

“Hyung. Just 200 won!” (EN: I’ll only use Korean terms when he is in Korea)

“Oppa. Buy me just one hairpin.”

Yeon Woo whispered to them as he tenderly stroked their heads.

“When will you guys be able to function as human beings. I wonder if that day will even come.”

They were worrisome but it would be sadder not having any siblings.

He went on a picnic with his friends and they got along moderately well.

The popularity with girls was sensational!

However, Yeon Woo was nothing but disappointed with elementary school girls, since his standards were increasing without end due to living in the elven forest for a while.

A big change in Yeon Woo’s life was attending an English academy after school.

Ah. While living in this world I wanted to avoid as much of school as I could…….

If people lived two lives, it would be thought that they would have double the opportunities.

If a mistake was made in one life, it may not be made in another life, this may be a blessing everyone desires.

If the place was very different from the world one was currently living in, one would imagine they would feel boundless freedom.

In fact, Yeon Woo also gained a lot of experience and grew mentally while living as Jess.

But the suffering of his double life was big.

There were too many things that had to be learned for each world.

At a young age, it was difficult to also acquire a language, it was tragic to have to even do a foreign language.

One day, after he came back from the English academy, his mom asked him a question.

“Which do you prefer, playing the piano or kumdo?” (EN: Korean version of kendo)

“That’s…….”

It was really difficult for Yeon Woo to decide.

This was also the most difficult moment in his life.

심장을 향해 날아오는 독화살을 마주한 대도 이리 떨리진 않으리라.

Facing a poisoned arrow flying towards his heart does not compare and would likely cause less trembling.

Even without reading the thoughts of his mom, the intent of that question was too obvious.

The piano will be better. Since I’m studying kumdo to the point of nausea in the other world.

“I’ll take the piano. I generally wanted to learn that.”

“Oh my. I see. I should have register you there a lot earlier.”

“I’ll try hard on it from now on.”

“I’m very proud of you. My son.”

Yeonwoo gave a wide smile.

Because he knew how hard it was for dual-income parents to raise four children. (EN: I’m not sure if I translated that wrong or not, because I’m sure they only had 3 kids)

“By the way, mom has only one more thing to ask. Do you like mathematics or science better?”

“Mom!”
