Chapter Index

    The wind blew across the wide field. The grass swayed in the gentle breeze.

    -Phew!

    A sharp, secret wind blew through the wind. The feeling of being upside down did not escape him. Era narrowed her eyes and twisted her waist.

    A hole was made in the wind without a sound. The wind that had passed my waist flew backwards, changing its trajectory and aiming for my back.

    There were no eyes on the back, but the trajectory was felt. Bang! The wind blew in the swung arm, and the arrow broke.

    ‘Now one.’

    There are dozens of such trajectories.

    As if a single shot had been fired, the arrows that had been circling around suddenly rushed in.

    The trajectories were tangled up in a mess.

    It is an arrow that is already entangled in the wind and has a faint movement. It is difficult to see through it from start to finish with wide-open eyes.

    -Crackle!

    Lightning flashed in Daera’s eyes.

    My senses were getting worse.

    The world in my sight slowed down. The wind that hit my skin was analyzed in detail. The right brain that went up my spine helped me make predictions.

    Both arms moved like the teeth of a comb. Pavabak! The back of the hand, the fist, the edge of the hand, the elbow. The wind blasted out from all parts of the body.

    I didn’t move my arms.

    Against the wind blowing from all directions, the legs constantly changed their posture, actively bent, rose, and swung to kick the wind.

    Two, four, eight, sixteen, thirty-eight…

    “Last!”

    Boom! The right hand tightly grasps the air.

    In the metal grip, a tangible arrow was held. Era smiled as she looked at the trembling arrow.

    “I won this time too.”

    “How on earth do you catch all that stuff?”

    “Huh, I told you I have good senses?”

    Ppop! The arrow and the sword covering it were split. Era shrugged her shoulders. Hasol, who had quietly expressed his admiration, lowered his bow.

    “I knew it from the first time I experienced it, but the more I look at it, the more amazing it is.”

    “Then and now… The distance is a bit close.”

    Era shook her head, straightening her hair as she dropped the arrow.

    A simple sparring session at the freshman welcome party. The stadium itself was not very large, so it was not convenient for archery.

    It’s the same now. This lawn is spacious, but Lee Ha-sol was shooting an arrow nearby.

    If you shoot from a sufficient distance, it becomes difficult for even Daerado to accurately determine the trajectory.

    Because they can’t see the moment of explosion, they close the distance, the arrows mix together, and hide.

    In fact, there is a record of a boss losing his final blow because he was late in recognizing the arrows coming from far away.

    Daeraga turned her gaze away, shaking her head.

    “So, priest, you’ve seen enough… big! Did you check it?”

    [Yes, that’s enough]

    A little further away, Lee Ha-yool nodded while sitting on the lawn and looking after the spirit that was acting cute.

    [Is this the type of training you usually do?]

    “Yes, I do this a lot.”

    [aha]

    This was Ha Sol’s reply as he approached lightly.

    After caressing the spirit a few times and releasing it, the next spirit came into his arms. Lee Ha-yool, who held the spirit tightly, observed the results.

    ‘Lee Ha-sol is a bow.’

    Ihasol’s main weapon is a bow.

    He used to mainly wield a bow and wield a few side weapons, but after he unleashed the Nine Winds, he mostly wielded a bow.

    ‘There are technical series in the old wind… and there are also corrections for the archery series.’

    This is something I found out by imitating it before. Since the person who made it was Ha Sol who used a bow, I think it may have included archery correction.

    ‘Daera Sajeo is a boxing game that excludes most weapons.’

    Daera has the same fighting style as her master, Atra.

    Of course, Atra taught Daera various types of weapons. Before being isolated, she also used a sword.

    But on the other hand, they were isolated and forced to fight, because it was virtually impossible to get any useful weapons there.

    ‘At best, they’re just monster teeth, claws, and bones…’

    Rather than getting hurt while handling an unskilled weapon, it would be more free and comfortable to have hands and feet wrapped in a sword. That skill level has been fixed by now.

    “I’m looking forward to how you’ll teach me, senior?”

    Ha-sol Lee, who was sitting next to him, playfully raised the corner of his eyes. They were close enough that their shoulders were brushing. Ha-yool Lee shook his head and shrugged his shoulders in a sense of burden.

    [… Don’t expect too much]

    “But the priest’s help is really great.”

    Likewise, it was the words of Da-era, who was sitting next to him. He could feel the body temperature rising from the brief movement.

    “Just look at me. How much has my movement improved with the help of the priest?”

    [That’s because the teacher was always there to help me]

    “Of course, I owed it to my teacher. But the priest explained it to me in such detail that it was scary.”

    It had to be that way.

    Since the observations took into account every single hair, the amount is huge and it is so accurate that it is eerily accurate.

    “And he even guided me through the refinement of my body’s magic power and showed me techniques… ”

    Looking back, I’ve received so much, but it’s too much. Daeraga folded her fingers one by one and made a strange expression.

    “… You said that his water rate was a gift? ”

    Ihasoldo made a strange expression.

    Fingers of navy blue metal fold one by one. The movements are so natural and smooth that it is hard to believe they are hands.

    It is so smooth that it follows you around like its own body when used in battle. It is also adept at delicate manipulation.

    Is that all?

    It has excellent durability, making it difficult to create even a small scratch, and even a small scratch is repaired by receiving magical power.

    There, he can easily receive and amplify Era’s already strong brain power.

    Control and manipulation in such subjects are precious things that make them more docile.

    “Huh? Oh, that’s right. This was also made by a priest.”

    The artifact that is considered to be of the highest grade is actually not an artifact, but a weapon created directly by the craftsman.

    As Daera touched the water of the temple and spoke, Ha Sol’s expression suddenly turned pale.

    This is Gayul, who made such a thing himself and gave it to me as a gift without any consideration.

    The winged clothes that the people of this mansion wear around as if showing off are also said to have been made by Lee Ha-yool.

    -Hehehe…

    “Huh?”

    Ha Sol-i, who was lost in thought, tilted her head. When she turned her gaze, a translucent lime-colored puppy was looking up at her.

    “You are… the spirit of Harul?”

    -Ugh!

    The spirit nodded vigorously and shook its tail. A familiar aura and color… It was the spirit of the wind.

    When I reached out and stroked them, they rubbed their bodies together, saying that it felt good. It was a similar reaction to their owners.

    Ha Sol blinked and looked around. Before he knew it, there were green spirits all around him.

    I already felt the old wind and was wandering around, and when I saw that he was resting, I slowly approached him.

    “Hey, why do you keep biting and biting that little thing?”

    -Roaring…

    Daera’s situation was similar.

    As Daera, who had manifested the thunderbolt, sat down on the ground, the lightning spirits that had rushed in were playing with her, rubbing her body and biting her fingers.

    [Uh-huh… Let’s try this for now]

    After a short break.

    Lee Ha-yool, who had been tapping away at the calculator in his head, got up from his seat.

    “How?”

    [I’ll try it like I did just now. Daerasa, please wait here. Hasol, please stay a little further away.]

    Lee Harul took out his bow and arrows from the small space he was in.

    The following Sol and the spirits fell, and Daera took up her position.

    “Like this? Are you talking about what Ha Sol and I just did? ”

    [yes]

    Lee Ha-yool nodded and slowly pulled the trigger. When Era gave the signal to finish preparing, Lee Ha-yool let go of the trigger.

    The arrows came rushing in. They weren’t the wind, they were real arrows.

    ‘One step?’

    It wasn’t that fast, and the trajectory was straight. Daera tilted her head.

    -Wow!

    At the same time, the arrow exploded. The eyes of Daera and Hasol, who had been watching from a distance, opened wide.

    It was a mistake. It was an eruption, not an explosion.

    Dozens of arrows flew in. It didn’t end there. The straight trajectory was twisted and distorted.

    ‘this.’

    I’ve seen this technology somewhere.

    Eraga stretched out her hand. Her hand wrapped around a steel aura made of brain energy. She struck down the arrow at the forefront.

    -Kang!

    The arrows were thrown. They felt strange. The arrows were caught in the wind and circled around. There were about a hundred of them.

    ‘Does that sound right?’

    Daera stretched out her right hand.

    He scattered the lightning that had been tangled in his palm. Crack! His uniqueness disappeared as he was struck by an arrow struck by lightning. The arrow fell to the ground with a thud.

    In the past, it was destroyed in this way.

    “Eudadada… !Kk!”

    I destroyed it then, but I couldn’t do that now. The precision and persistence were on a whole other level.

    Daerra, who had been fighting for seventy years, was hit in the head with an arrow and fell down. Because the tip was blunt, no blood was seen.

    [how is it?]

    “… Wasn’t this a technique used by archers before?”

    It was a question from Lee Ha-yool who came walking slowly. Da-era spat it out while burying her face in the grass.

    [Yes, that’s right. The ability to expand the technology series that he used.]

    A magician and swordsman who received instructions from Hong Yeon-jun on the other side… This is Est’s expanded ability.

    As it is a technology series expansion ability, it can be imitated in a variety of ways.

    ‘Besides, I experienced it separately.’

    Three men fighting behind the scenes and imprisoned at the association headquarters.

    While practicing erasing the imprint with fear, I have also been imitating in detail the ability to expand it.

    [Iha Sol-nim’s technique is not a unique ability of the technology series, but is implemented as a form of old wind. Of course, old wind includes a lot of the technology series, but it would be much better if it was implemented independently.]

    “I was thinking the same thing.”

    After Daera collapsed, Ha-sol came over and agreed. Ha-yul nodded slightly at that sight.

    ‘Because there was a similar case.’

    The unique abilities of the 8th Thunderbolt were twofold.

    One is the ‘Shingung’, developed from the archery talent received as a special privilege.

    The other one is ‘Thousand Thunder’, which was developed with the help of an artifact from the brain attribute magic power.

    ‘They have different unique abilities, but…’

    They were not completely distinct. To be exact, they complemented and connected each other.

    Even if you look at it as the ultimate skill of the 8th round, ‘Cheongjeonilseom’ is an extended ability that utilizes both Shin-gung and Cheon-ryeo at the same time.

    Finally, Ha Sol handles the bow.

    It’s not thunder, it’s just a wind… but it can help you connect with archery.

    ‘Daera Sajeo was the one who unleashed the thunder from the beginning, so all I can do is help him as much as I can.’

    Lee Ha-yool nodded firmly after getting a rough estimate.

    [I will help you as much as I can]

    “… … ”

    After finishing the rough explanation, Lee Ha-yool clenched his hands tightly as if making a pledge, and Lee Ha-sol’s expression became extremely complicated.

    She thought back to what she had been through so far.

    Own a huge mansion and land.

    A dreamlike place where majestic and spiritual trees stand tall in a field full of life, and where numerous spirits and baby unicorns run around.

    A more handsome and beautiful appearance than anyone in the world. A cute, lovable, and kind personality.

    What about ability?

    It’s not worth talking about.

    A detection ability with a range and precision that mocks common sense. A unique ability of a technology series that just brings expansion capabilities. Fear, creation of the sea, Taesan. Spirit magic, necromancy. Magic at the level of a wizard. The ability to create artifacts. Outrageous fighting skills…

    “Haa… ”

    [?]

    [… Uh… Uh… Is there anything you don’t like…?]

    As soon as Lee Ha-sol let out a small sigh, Lee Ha-yool, who was frightened, cowered.

    “No. Just.”

    Lee Ha-sol shook her head and pressed Lee Ha-yul’s cheek with one hand.

    [?]

    -Phew…

    “Who is this good looking? Huh?”

    -Huh?

    [question]

    Are there a lot of women around you? Honestly, if you think about it, it’s only natural that there would be a lot of women, right?

    Lee Ha-yul, who became a superhuman, is so good…

    ‘Oh, right.’

    Lips that are cutely gathered like an octopus. Cheeks that are slightly flushed, perhaps because of the compliment.

    Looking down at him, Ha Sol remembered the question he had forgotten.

    “Ha-yul only talks to a few people with his eyes… Is there a special reason?”

    Actually, I’ve been curious about this since I first met Elia, but I never had a chance to ask.

    [Ah, that’s…]

    Lee Ha-yul, who had been squirming at the unexpected compliment, flinched and rolled her eyes.

    What Lee Ha-sol asked about is… the condition for bypassing the curse.

    Of course, it’s not easy to say that.

    A kiss? How should I say it? Even if I did, would she believe me? If she didn’t believe me, I was afraid of how Lee Ha-sol would look at me…

    [kiss]

    [kiss]

    “… Yes?”

    [?]

    While Lee Ha-yool was thinking about it, his body answered Lee Ha-sol’s question as it had learned.

    Ha-sol Lee, who grabbed their cheeks, and Ha-yool Lee, who grabbed their cheeks, blinked in the same way.

    “… ?”

    Even though he was secretly listening while playing with the lightning spirit next to him, he blinked stupidly at the sound he heard for the first time.
