Shin Yu-jeong’s advice, which seemed grandiose, was short and concise.

-“Actually, you can just hit it without anything special.”

They say hit it.

“I’m not saying you should stick your head in it… .”

It probably means making sure to make progress as a man versus a woman.

“Hmm, but how do I lose progress? No, actually, more than that… .”

Slowing down is a problem, but the real problem is in her mind.

Do you truly want him?

As Shin Yu-jeong expected, she is a virgin with no experience with men.

Are you not interested in the opposite sex?

no.

There have been several men I’ve liked so far.

With some of them, I built good relationships, just like I do with Kim Do-jin now.

However, I could not develop a deep relationship with any of them.

The reasons were all the same.

‘They all ran away.’

I was crushed by her strength.

He couldn’t handle the wildness that naturally erupted from his body and fell out.

One of them even left a comment like that.

“Did you say that it feels like a man’s pride is falling away when he’s with you…? .”

I hated her too.

A man who is unable to attract a woman he likes and leaves after being crushed.

As a result, her experience with men was naturally postponed, and her ideal type also changed.

‘You should be able to fight me and win.’

The reason I felt attracted to Kim Do-jin was because of that tendency.

‘I wasn’t crushed.’

It was confident.

I didn’t pay any attention to the intimidation and tone that radiated from my actions and words.

At first, I thought it was just mediocre acting, but it wasn’t.

I got to know you as we spent more time together.

He really didn’t care.

And when I saw this, I realized.

‘You are a strong man.’

I feel a deep crush on him.

That is an undeniable fact.

‘If it’s Kim Do-jin… .’

Just because she kept her virginity for a long time did not make her a woman full of pure love.

That’s why I don’t dream or have any intention of dreaming of a distant future with him.

Just one thing.

Like all women, I want to leave a strong memory of my first night with the person I like.

‘Is there a better first night partner than him?’

I wonder if there is such a man or not.

Also, I can’t tell if I was young or old at that time.

She made up her mind.

I decided to spend a hot night with him.

‘I told you to hit me… .’

Do not follow routine procedures.

In order to clash in her own way, she opens her mouth to Kim Do-jin, who happens to be visiting the workshop.

“Let’s have a game with me!”

Very hot.

* * *

A fierce force continues to radiate out.

It’s so brutal that if you make a mistake, it feels like your bones will be bitten off.

It wasn’t a plan to kill the other person.

The fighting spirit that emanates from someone who focuses only on winning the fight, regardless of life and death.

That’s why I was very embarrassed.

Yujeong said he had a good bite and that there would be some kind of progress by now, so he came running after a month, but the progress was a mess, and he started fighting like crazy.

Was the goal to trap me by pretending to help?

or not… , Did Angela have any change of heart in that short period of time?

While struggling, she opens her mouth.

“No need to make it complicated.”

A random word.

It looks like he read some of the complex concerns on my face.

“I’ll be honest. I quite like you.”

The sincerity expressed with a light pink face confuses my mind even more.

You say you like it, but why are you suddenly asking for a fight?

Her words continue.

“But it’s still not enough.”

“… What do you lack?”

“Temperature is insufficient.”

“Temperature?”

When I asked again with a slight frown at the incomprehensible answer, Angela smiled.

“Maybe it’s because I’ve been working as a blacksmith since I was young, but at this temperature, what can I say… , to express it in Korean terms, should I say that the message does not go to the liver?”

“Ah.”

I finally understand.

That’s it, right?

“So… , why don’t we get together and turn up the heat a bit?”

“That’s it.”

“Huh, true.”

You’re trying to decide even your relationship with the opposite sex through a fight.

Should I say it’s like her?

It’s a little absurd, but it’s not at a level that I can’t understand at all.

Everyone who has reached the original level has at least one or two screws loose.

And this is not just her problem.

The temperature she’s talking about probably refers to the process of proving that Kim Do-jin is qualitatively different from other men who rushed at me with excitement but then left when they couldn’t handle it.

It’s quite a burden, but it’s also a good opportunity.

A chance to win her heart and gauge my current skills.

I ask her in a friendly tone.

“What is the winning method?”

The best way to gauge skill is to hit with all your might.

But that’s almost impossible.

It is not easy to arrange a training room or sparring hall that can handle the power of an S-class person who has already surpassed the limit of the class.

“The method is simple. Do you see this?”

Angela pointed with her index finger to a corner of the workshop with a flushed expression.

There, various types of armor made of beaten steel were piled up haphazardly.

Full of traces of meticulous effort, but lacking in performance.

“… These are the equipment made by Yujeong.”

“That’s right.”

Equipment made by Shin Yu-jeong, who is stamping his attendance at the workshop every day.

There, she chose a helmet and armor that suited her body and wore them.

After arming himself with a crude mace and a round shield in both hands, he opened his mouth.

“As you can see, they are normal grade equipment. They’re pretty well-made equipment, but if you and I hit them with all our might, they’ll quickly crumble to dust.”

What she said was quickly understood.

“So… , you mean to fight wearing this equipment?”

As she said, the equipment Yujeong carefully crafted cannot handle S-class power.

Whether it’s a weapon or armor, you can destroy it in an instant if you put your mind to it.

Fighting while wearing such equipment means limiting power output.

And usually the victory conditions in this type of fight are as well.

“The one who keeps his armor intact and destroys all of his opponent’s armor wins. How about it?”

It’s as expected.

At first glance, it seemed like a fair fight, but in reality, the conditions were extremely unfavorable to me.

She is a hunter and blacksmith.

Because he knows better than anyone else how to use the equipment to fully unleash its power.

Of course, my senses are not bad as I have lived my whole life relying on a sword, but compared to hers, it is true that it is not enough.

But it doesn’t matter.

“It seems like the conditions are more advantageous to Angela, but… , I like it.”

I also have at least one hill.

Follow her to find armor that matches your size and put it on.

Then, I choose a suitable sword, hold it in my hand, and swing it lightly.

“Hmm… .”

The blade stands up well, and the grip and weight balance are not bad.

I feel like no matter who swings it, I can show off my skills to a reasonable degree.

So I started to get a little worried.

To achieve this level of skill in a short period of time, ordinary effort is not enough.

That means that Shin Yu-jeong devoted himself wholeheartedly to the blacksmith work.

Of course, I think it’s possible because it’s part of the training and he’s really serious about the training, but… .

“… Probably not.”

I believe not.

If, by chance, you decide that blacksmithing is your calling, there is nothing you can do about it.

She asks as she is waiting in full gear.

“Are you ready?”

“I think it’s done.”

“Okay, then shall we go?”

I follow her and head to the small vacant lot behind the workshop.

A place that Yujeong sometimes used when sparring with him.

“Is this enough?”

“Okay.”

If you fight with all your might, not only the vacant lot but the entire surrounding area will be destroyed in less than 0.1 second, but right now, your output is limited.

At least nothing that will cause harm to those around you will happen.

maybe.

* * *

Five steps.

The distance between two people.

Considering their abilities, the distance was short enough to allow them to go back and forth dozens of times in the blink of an eye, but the two did not give up easily.

A preliminary battle to gauge the opponent’s skills?

It’s unnecessary since we’ve already fought together several times, and it’s dangerous because it can destroy the equipment.

But if you’re saying they’re just staring at each other, that’s not true.

The fight has already begun in their minds.

When you collide head-on, when the opponent charges first, when you rush in first, etc.

In all cases, look for situations where you can gain even a little more benefit.

“Umm… !”

“Um.”

Screaming sounds leaking out of both people’s mouths at the same time, without anyone having to say who goes first.

The reasons were different.

Kim Do-jin thought it would not be easy to break through her strong guard.

And because Angela couldn’t count all the so many cases that came to mind.

‘It’s very tricky.’

After being enemies for a while, I understand.

Magic swordsman.

And how annoying it is to be a perfect magic swordsman who can only be imagined in dreams.

The swordsmanship of a swordsman who has reached the peak has dozens or hundreds of paths.

But what if it doesn’t end there, and various magics are added?

‘I can’t count them all.’

I realize it quickly.

In order to win, you must reduce the number of cases your opponent has.

There is only one best way.

‘I have no choice but to hit it directly!’

As soon as I make up my mind, I hit the ground.

“Inhale!”

Breathing in and out with short breaths.

And the swollen muscles shatter the ground they step on, creating momentum.

It was truly perfect timing.

Moving forward, taking advantage of the split-second moment when Kim Do-jin’s eyes closed and opened.

As a result, it felt like Angela was teleporting to his eyes, as he missed the sight of her moving.

“Hriyat!”

He increases the durability of the mace he is holding by putting magical energy into it, and then swings it vigorously.

The target is Kim Do-jin’s shoulder.

The moment an attack hits that spot, the armor covering the upper body will shatter into pieces.

Of course, this only applies if your attack works correctly.

‘shoulder.’

Even though she dug in exquisitely, Kim Do-jin did not panic even for a moment.

There are many ways to detect her movements other than sight.

The sound of her feet hitting the ground, the smell coming in an instant.

And even the waves of magic spread around like a net.

The style of this match was somewhat disadvantageous to Kim Do-jin.

Her ability to use equipment and her magical properties specialize in increasing the durability of equipment.

There are also various elements big and small.

In front of a wall surrounded by disadvantages, he glimpsed only one chance of victory.

It is none other than technique.

To be more precise, it was swordsmanship.

Cheaeng!

A sword that jumped into the path by itself made up its mind to deliver a powerful blow.

And that too perfectly.

“No… !?”

It was an attack that had no disadvantages to her.

If it hits you, it’s perfect, and if you block it with a sword, the sword will be shocked.

Even if you dodge it, just keep attacking and that’s it.

Her number, which had been set to be narrow, was completely blocked.

In front of his extraordinary swordsmanship, where he completely parried the attack without any impact to the sword.

“Intake… !”

Instead, she gave up the opportunity.

‘Oh no… !’

The sharp penetrating tip of the sword urges her to make a choice.

Should I block it with a shield?

Or should I try to avoid it by twisting my body?

The thought didn’t last very long.

‘I can’t do it. First of all, I have no choice but to block as much as possible with my shield… !’

When she came to that conclusion and raised her shield to block the attack, she saw it.

His face with a faint smile on his lips, as if he was hoping for that to happen.

Scared to see this, she smiled fiercely and twisted her body with all her might.

‘Who knows who will lose easily!’

Pop!

A movement so intense that it puts a strain on the muscles.

At the same time, the tip of the sword passes over the spot where her body was just moments ago, as if regretting it.

Angela bounces in an unstable position to escape the series of attacks.

fault!

As she landed in a vacant lot a little away, an eerie sound reached her ears.

Pass… !

She looked down at the source of the sound, my left side, and smiled bitterly.

“Oh my.”

A small crack appeared in the armor covering his side.

Even though I tried to avoid it, the tip of the sword seemed to have grazed my side.

‘It’s scary.’

It was a time when I was amazed by his swordsmanship skills, which were superior to what I expected.

Kugu Palace

She suddenly felt heavy and realized it too late.

His attack is not over yet.
