Chapter Index

    ‘… ha.’

    A cold chill spread through Moon Bora’s mouth.

    This moment when my physical senses are frozen and I can’t even feel it properly.

    Ironically, Moon Bora’s thoughts became clearer and clearer.

    ‘I didn’t like it.’

    I hated myself so much for not being able to do anything.

    *

    At that time, it was not long after Yoo Se-ha and his party cleared .

    Remnants of the fallen dragon .

    The descendants of the dragon, who boasted great strength, were unable to bear the curse of and declined.

    I lost the wings I was so proud of.

    Losing the dragon language.

    The essence of magic has been lost.

    He fell into a simple sea tyrant, .

    That alone was a miserable appearance that could not be compared to the power it should have had.

    It was nothing more than trash that couldn’t be compared to the original.

    Nevertheless, Moon Bo-ra was scared.

    I couldn’t do anything, I was trembling and holding my breath in fear.

    This continued even though he died from Yu Se-ha’s sword and became a mere coincidence and a lump of compensation.

    ―… Ugh!

    For the past few days.

    A nightmare that continues every single day.

    Before Moon Bo-ra’s eyes, she saw her colleagues being eaten by the .

    Or, a scene like this unfolded where he was defeated by being hit by a breath.

    But the most unforgivable thing among them all is…

    ―… Please move!

    I was so scared that I just shed tears.

    I can’t do anything alone, and I always wake up from my dreams in tears.

    Every time that happened, Bo-ra Moon clenched her fist and hit herself.

    overlapped.

    They overlap.

    The memories of that time come to mind.

    I remembered the moment when the famous hunter family collapsed.

    ―… Sister, take me too! please!

    A burning mansion.

    I saw the bodies of my parents, horribly twisted and dead by my sister’s powers.

    It didn’t really matter what my parents were like.

    Those two were the ones who unleashed a living hell when my grandfather passed away in the first place.

    They are devils disguised as humans who cannot be called parents.

    Moon Bo-ra was just afraid of being alone.

    He looked at his older sister who saved him and shouted for her to be taken away.

    But my sister…

    He just looked at me indifferently and walked out alone.

    -You are useless.

    Without leaving a single word:

    “… … ”

    If I think about it calmly, it was a good thing I didn’t follow back then.

    Let’s hear it, the path Hani chose…

    The darkness of the world behind.

    Because it was the path to ascend to the highest place and rule there.

    Naturally, I understood my sister’s purpose.

    ‘… A world without pretense.’

    The whole ‘hunter world’ full of pretentiousness and pretense is being ripped away…

    The era of pure beginnings unfolds.

    Of course, Moon Bo-ra knew.

    These are just fake words that are nice to hear.

    This means that the powerful will exploit everything and usher in an era of anarchy without law and morality.

    ‘… … ‘

    But regardless of that, Moon Bo-ra always thought.

    I feel pathetic about myself.

    I feel so resentful.

    Why is this all I can do?

    I hated it.

    I hated myself like this.

    “… To Yoo Se-ha… ”

    to everyone…

    I didn’t want to die for something that wasn’t helpful.

    I had only that thought and thought in my heart.

    As soon as I came to my senses, I found myself heading to the 3rd floor of Building D.

    “… Phew.”

    Moon Bo-ra sees the mystery and understanding of yin and yang in front of her…

    I looked at the sign for a subject that didn’t appear even after looking through the course registration list.

    This is not the first time Moon Bo-ra has come here.

    Just a few months ago.

    Moon Bo-ra, who found out that was staying here, came to receive teachings.

    of course…

    -Go back.

    ― Enough to teach a half-hearted child like you…

    -I don’t have much time.

    Even though I was immediately kicked out of the door.

    ‘… … ‘

    Moon Bo-ra is also a human being.

    There is such a thing as pride.

    No, it’s definitely a lot compared to people of the same age.

    As much as I harbored a sense of inferiority, I worked hard to avoid it.

    Thanks to this, he succeeded in becoming a wizard known by the name .

    I was angry at first.

    I wonder if you could at least explain the reason in detail.

    I just told him to leave as soon as I saw him.

    ‘… Even without that.’

    I can grow well!

    I promised that, but…

    In the end, Moon Bo-ra visited this place again.

    The reason was simple.

    ‘I can’t do it alone.’

    No matter how hard Moon Bo-ra searches through books and tries hard…

    In the end, you won’t be able to escape your limits.

    This was her conclusion after struggling in her own way throughout her life.

    I had to admit it.

    He…

    ‘I’m not a genius like Yoo Se-ha.’

    Moon Bo-ra also knows this well.

    What an incredible genius Yoo Se-ha is.

    This may have been due to his [unique ability], but in Moon Bo-ra’s opinion, it was more important that he was just a genius.

    I just embody it just by seeing it a few times.

    As time passed, he was a true genius who sublimated it into something of his own.

    But not yourself.

    There had to be a path to walk.

    There had to be a clear indicator.

    ‘The most necessary thing for that… ‘

    The presence or absence of a teacher.

    Cheon Mira will definitely know a way to elevate her to a higher level.

    I had to receive that instruction.

    Bo-ra Moon clenches her fists.

    I promise that I will no longer show the same ferocious appearance that made me tremble in front of .

    For that…

    ‘I need strength.’

    *

    smart.

    As soon as the knocking was over, the sturdy door opened automatically.

    I was surprised for a moment.

    As I entered, Bo-ra Moon made eye contact with a young white-haired woman.

    Her appearance literally befits the name .

    The icy cold white eyes pierce Moon Bo-ra.

    “… … ”

    “… … ”

    The two didn’t say anything for a while.

    To be more precise, Moon Bo-ra was waiting for her answer.

    If any words of rejection come out.

    Even if you hold on to your legs, even if you kneel…

    Even if you touch your forehead to the floor…

    I was thinking of begging to be accepted as a disciple.

    However, Cheon Mi-ra said something unexpected.

    “Sit on the chair. First, you need to prepare training clothes that fit your body.”

    An explicit offer to be accepted as a disciple.

    Just like the first time.

    Bo-ra Moon was once again taken aback by the lack of explanation.

    “… Poetry, don’t you take exams or something like that?”

    “There is no need for that.”

    Cheon Mira took out several fabrics from the closet.

    When she waved her hand, what appeared in her hand were scissors made of ice.

    Soon, he begins to cut clothes at a speed that is close to amazing.

    “Although I have only taught a few people so far, I am a professor. He is the person who officially signed a contract with Chairman Yoo Neung-hae. It is my job to teach those who want to learn.”

    “Ha, but last time-”

    “-The story is different from back then.”

    Cheon Mira’s eyes turned to Moon Bo-ra.

    “The reason I kicked you out back then… It’s because you lacked resolve.”

    Bo-ra Moon flinched.

    No way…

    How many resolutions did you have?

    There is no way there is a lack of determination.

    However, I was naturally intimidated by Cheon Mira’s words.

    “The determination I mentioned is not just a tool to fill your anger and resentment. That’s just a child’s complaint.”

    “… … !”

    “Each person has a different reason to become stronger. The inferiority complex you have harbored until now may have paved the way, but that is also its limit.”

    Jump and jump.

    It’s a slow step, but it’s as if space is folding.

    Cheon Mira’s footwork immediately stood in front of Moon Bora.

    I turned the cloth around in my hand and checked the size that Moon Bo-ra could wear.

    “I had to find something new. Even if I had to throw myself away, I needed an opportunity to rise further. Even if I had to die for it, I needed to be determined.”

    “… Instrument.”

    “The moment I see your eyes again. I don’t know exactly, but I knew that a good opportunity had arisen. Most likely, it is a determination of heart for someone.”

    “… … ”

    “Your qualities are not bad. However, that doesn’t mean it’s something that can be taught half-heartedly. In conclusion, if you are not sure about anything, it will only lead to a waste of time.”

    That’s why I kicked you out.

    Cheon Mira finished speaking.

    After a while, I handed Moon Bora a training kimono.

    “You can go back. But if you want to learn properly, change your clothes with this. I’ll tell you in advance, prepare to die. I am not soft.”

    “… I will wear it.”

    “Okay, starting today… ”

    Call me Master.

    * * *

    “You have a lot of random thoughts.”

    Suddenly-!

    Moon Bo-ra’s eyes opened.

    I realized that I had been lost in thought without realizing it.

    Cold waves swirling through both hands.

    Before we knew it, ice crystals had spread to Moon Bora’s torso.

    “Cough… !”

    “Concentrate. I’m really dying.”

    It’s as they say.

    Currently, Bo-ra Moon was unable to control her power and was going berserk.

    This was a phenomenon seen because the power used by Moon Bo-ra was completely different from before.

    It’s the same cold energy, but it’s a power that has something completely different from magic as its source.

    It was a manifestation of power similar to the [Paecheongeombeop] commonly used by Yoo Se-ha and Paeng Jin-ah.

    In other words, it was an ability close to martial arts.

    Why does Bora Moon use the power of this structure?

    That was the day I was accepted as my first disciple.

    What Cheon Mira said was the starting point.

    *

    “… Gulp.”

    Moon Bo-ra looked at Cheon Mi-ra without saying a word.

    Cheon Mira.

    She was especially popular among hunters.

    This was due to the fact that his original body was strong, but what was even greater was that the skills of the disciples he had trained were all unbelievable.

    All of the students she taught were famous heroines.

    Here, they all have something in common: they all deal with , but strangely, the way they use the power is completely different.

    Some people use authentic magic like Moon Bo-ra.

    Some say curse words.

    Some people practice swordsmanship, focusing on weapons.

    It was literally all different.

    But one thing is certain…

    “That was the optimal method for those children.”

    Cheon Mi-ra looked at Moon Bo-ra and continued speaking.

    “As expected, it is best to work in parallel rather than purely dealing with magic. Your magic has long since reached a level high enough to be called complete. One way is to aim for the top. Since it is a path that can be reached only by accumulating countless hours, you will never be able to get to the level you want in a short period of time.”

    Words I knew.

    Bora Moon is also a .

    It wasn’t difficult to contemplate oneself.

    However, I ask as if I am questioning something unexpected.

    “… What if it’s parallel?”

    “The manifestation of ability is replaced with , and the internal power of the body is replaced with . That is the way you will soar the highest.”

    Moon Bo-ra was embarrassed.

    Of course, writing together is not that strange.

    This is an era where all side effects and problems have disappeared thanks to the mysterious power called .

    The , which only sticks to either magic or martial arts, has long since ceased to exist.

    In the first place, just looking at Yoo Se-ha, doesn’t he use a martial arts skill called [Fight Heavenly Sword Technique] and a variety of different attribute magics?

    ‘but… ‘

    No matter how he looked at it, he didn’t seem to have the talent to accept such a martial art.

    Then, I flinched at Cheon Mira’s next words.

    “I have seen many talented children for a long time… ”

    This is my first time seeing all kinds of blood mixed together like yours.

    “… … !”

    “It is also improved, not just pure mixture.”

    “… … ”

    Moon Bo-ra bit her lip.

    My face suddenly got hot and I felt so ashamed that I wanted to hide in a hole.

    It’s a family shame, and a secret I don’t want to know even after I die.

    especially…

    ‘For Yoo Se-ha… ‘

    Even more so.

    Be that as it may, Cheon Mira’s words struck Moon Bora in the chest like nothing else.

    “Is that the secret to how the famous hunter family has maintained its power until now?”

    “… … ”

    “Telling you may be nothing more than venting my anger… It’s truly disgusting. How many people have they kidnapped, drugged, seduced, and overlapped each other for that purpose? How many of them will truly find love?”

    Cheon Mira sighed softly.

    I frowned as I watched the flowing through Moon Bo-ra’s body.

    He ended with the words, ‘It was right for to be destroyed.’

    “But… ”

    “… ?”

    “It is true that, ironically, with such improved blood flowing through your body, an unexpected path was created for you.”

    “… What does it mean?”

    “Same.”

    “… Yes?”

    “It means that the blood flowing through your body and mine is the same.”

    Moon Bo-ra blinked.

    Then he looked at me in surprise.

    That doesn’t mean… ?

    “Of course we don’t have the same ancestors. It’s definitely one of the improved blood types. Because it’s too pale to compare in the first place.”

    “… … ”

    “But in any case, this means that I am qualified to accept the [singular martial arts] that I have. A power that can only be passed on because the same blood flows.”

    Mira Cheon paused for a moment.

    ‘I never thought I’d meet my blood relatives like this… ‘ he muttered softly.

    Lastly, Moon Bora mentioned a word she had never heard before.

    “… Maybe.”

    Have you ever heard of the term ?
