*****

Hero specialized educational institution, Cheonmyeong High School. In the ‘original work’, it was the world’s leading hero school and one of the main stages where the main character team was active.

Of course, the same goes for the real-life Cheonmyeonggo, which is based on the original work. No, as the situation in Korea has improved compared to in the novel, there were some parts that were even more amazing.

A representative example is the area of the school site. The original work was larger than a typical high school, but it still had a training facility attached to the school building. In reality, Cheonmyeong High School was wider than most universities.

So, I don’t think it’s particularly shameful if you get lost on campus. maybe. clearly. never.

“Where are you?”

In terms of location, it seems to be somewhere in a corner of the site. It’s nice that it’s clean and well-maintained even though few people come and go, but I’d like to put up a signboard if possible.

Of course, I’m not really lost. I’m not a street person, so I just have to go back the way I came… . Where has the original purpose of touring the school gone?

‘It will take some time to process the admission process. ‘Would you like to at least take a look around?’

It started with Sia’s suggestion. For the time being, this is a new school. I also wanted to see the differences from the original, so I nodded and went out of the building.

The problem was that it was lunch time at school. As soon as I came outside, the students’ attention was like a barrage of fire.

It is better to look at things like puzzlement, wariness, and novelty. Because this girl Lee Hyeong-gye is walking around the school without even wearing a school uniform. It is understandable that there is a certain amount of attention.

But what is ‘cute’!? What else does ‘I want to hug’ mean? Why are you thinking like that when you look at me?

Even because I had just realized my potential yesterday, I couldn’t control it well. Embarrassing gazes pour in from all directions, conveyed more directly than words.

In the end, as if I was half-running away, I ended up in an alley instead of the main street, and as I walked around the back of the building, I ended up like this.

“I never expected that GPS wouldn’t work because it was treated as a military facility… .”

Sia would probably know my location anyway. I may have to give up wandering around the back alleys.

With that in mind, I was walking around a building I didn’t know what it was and looking around.

“Huh?”

Boom, boom. A faint tone cutting through the air. Just because your body has changed doesn’t mean you can forget it. This is definitely the sound of swinging a sword.

The source of the sound was not very far away. At the back of the building, a small shelter surrounded by trees on all sides.

There, a boy was swinging a sword.

“Whoop!”

The boy’s breathing was slightly rough, probably because he had already repeated it quite a bit. The swordsmanship and footwork are all faithful to the basics rather than famous swordsmanship. Judging by the way he silently wields that sword, he seems to have a very sincere personality.

So, what really matters is the boy’s skills… .

… To be honest, it was difficult to say that he was excellent even with empty words.

He has strength, but his swinging momentum isn’t bad, but that’s it. I didn’t understand the meaning of the movement, and more than anything, the power wasn’t being transmitted properly.

It’s good to train with pure strength alone without using magical power, but it can’t be efficient like that.

Of course, that doesn’t mean you can just interfere. It’s against manners, and what I’m good at is fists, not swords. If the other person has a teacher, it can develop into an issue of etiquette.

The correct answer here is to pray for the boy’s growth and quietly leave, pretending not to see him.

“That’s not how you do it.”

… Unfortunately, I just wasn’t the right answer.

No, but that would be a waste. I think we can do better if we do it right. It’s needlessly frustrating because it’s clear that even if you fix it just a little bit, it will change a lot.

Because the surroundings were so quiet, even small murmurs could be heard. It took a moment for the startled boy to quickly turn his head towards me. The boy’s expression, as if he had been caught, became increasingly suspicious.

“… Lost?”

“Who is Mia!? No!”

“I see. Did you come to tour Cheonmyeong High School? Sorry to confuse you, but the entrance to the training room is over there, not here.”

This guy is completely treating me like a child who came to see me.

I understand. Because the height difference between the boy and I was more than a head. If a little girl like this walks around without her school uniform on weekdays, the country will think the same.

But that’s what it is, and being pissed is being pissed. Originally, I was planning to teach in more detail. Since this has happened, I will make you realize it, even if it is somewhat forceful.

“Okay, look at this.”

In front of the boy, he stretches out his fingers and makes a call. It would be nice if I could use a sword, but I don’t have one and I probably won’t lend it to you.

Besides, the sword itself isn’t that important. What you need to look at is the way you move your body.

Sigh. Take your feet back. With just that one movement, the body’s center of gravity becomes unstable and misaligned. It also means that changing your perspective makes it easier to move.

There is no need for advanced techniques like the one I tried to use in front of the Paladin. What I’m going to do now is the basic of the basics. If that’s the case, it’s completely possible with my current physical condition.

Tuk,

Take a step forward. Shift your weight forward. Raise the power of your back foot to kick off the ground. All of this was done simultaneously and in one breath.

Once you’ve caught the flow, the rest just follows it. Knees, waist, shoulders, elbows. Every time the joint moves, the force drawn is transmitted without waste.

And so, the moment when power came to the fingertips that reached the point.

Naturally, my capital slashed through the air without a sound.

… Well, okay. It was a neat move. I feel like a fool for being a little scared that I might fail. It’s me too

Of course, it is not easy to realize this at a glance. If the boy still looked like he didn’t know what he was doing, he planned to show it a few more times.

However, in the end, it became an unnecessary consideration.

“… … .”

The boy’s eyes were blank, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

“Hey~?”

“Huh!? What, what!?”

“How about it? Do you understand roughly?”

“… any. You were a great prosecutor.”

The way they look at me is mixed with different emotions than before. It’s complicated and hard to understand. Some respect? east longitude? I guess it feels like that. Of course, there is no trace of being treated like a child.

This is it~! I wanted to see that expression. Should I reveal that I am a deacon here? Shall I tell you that it was so amazing even though it wasn’t the main character?

“Still, I’m sorry. I showed you a demonstration after a long time… . I think it might be a bit difficult for me.”

However, my pure admiration only lasted for a moment. Soon the boy’s expression darkened. There is no need to even use potential. Because I’ve been tired of seeing the expressions of despair over something I can’t reach.

Uh, what is it? what’s the matter. This is not the time to let people know that he is a deacon. If I said that I didn’t mean what I just said, I think the child would be broken.

Now that I think about it, there is a training building right next to it, and I was practicing alone in this corner during lunch time… .

Oh my, did I step on a land mine?

“That’s not true! It’s quite possible. You can do this as much as you want.”

“… Yes, thank you. I will try my best.”

It won’t work. This guy’s eyes are completely dead. I get the feeling that even if I tried, I wouldn’t be able to do it.

This is why you shouldn’t mindlessly meddle in other people’s business! I want to give my past self a hundred beatings. sincerely.

And, I know I shouldn’t do this, but honestly, the 100% honey night applies to this boy as well.

The guy, uh! If you see something amazing, you should have the spirit to do something even more amazing. Kids these days lack spirit.

In addition, I am just plain annoyed by people thinking that something I have decided is not possible. Here, the kid… , it’s a bit big for that. Here, I have no choice but to teach my young colleague a lesson.

“You. Let’s go.”

“… huh? What should I do?”

“Let’s peel the pears. I don’t know? Like this, like this.”

I have a vague idea of the limbs, but I’m not sure how the muscles in the lower back are attached. When I tried to check, this guy was acting up again.

So, I had no choice but to just show them to do it this way. For some reason, the boy started to freak out.

“You, you, you, you! What are you doing all of a sudden!?”

“… ? So, open the boat──”

“Okay! Lay it down! I’m going to wear it, so lower the hem of your clothes!”

It would have happened long ago. At the boy’s declaration of surrender, I returned the raised hoodie to its original state. But why on earth does this guy make a fuss about something like this?

──Ah, that’s right. My body changed.

… Well, isn’t good something good? huh.

“Really, why did I do this… .”

Even while muttering, the boy properly lifted his shirt. No matter what, he is a very sincere guy.

So, you probably did it properly without forgetting to strengthen your core muscles.

As expected, the exposed muscles were well-shaped. I didn’t just build up my muscles, but I feel like the necessary muscles were properly attached through swordsmanship training.

Okay, this is definitely possible.

“Now, try the downward slash you did just now again.”

“Like this? … Hueup!”

Boom, the sword in the boy’s hand cuts through the air. Good energy, poor posture. It is a beginner’s strike, not much different from the one just before, wielded only with the strength of the arm.

It is my role to maintain the posture there. If you’re looking at the flow of power, it’s because I never lost to anyone during my active years. Even now, I am confident that I will be the best except for the original protagonist.

“This way. Just put a little more pressure on this side of your lower back. A feeling of strength being drawn from the thighs.”

“Wait a minute, you… .”

“Concentrate. Because now is important.”

Cough, cluck. Press your finger to indicate where and when the force is applied from the boy’s thighs to his waist. Any objections that emerged were immediately ignored. Because I’m right anyway.

The boy tried to say something at first, but eventually endured the bleeding in silence. In the world where Qigong is practiced, there is no standard that is as easy to understand as acupuncture points. Because vital points come from the flow of power.

After memorizing the flow a few more times, the second swing began. What on earth does this mean? The boy just before the second attempt had that exact expression.

But the moment the sword was struck. The boy’s eyes opened even wider.

“How about it? Is it different? Do you feel like something is being pushed to your fingertips?”

“Uh, uh… .”

“Remember that feeling well. Next are the feet. To the left, turn the stepped foot slightly counterclockwise. About 3 to 5 degrees.”

There is a different level of realism between hearing a theory you don’t understand and experiencing it for yourself. The boy, who had been skeptical just a moment ago, clung to my instructions as if he had never done so before.

The movement of the heavy sword becomes faster and sharper. The sound of crushing the air changes to the sound of cutting into the air.

How many revisions did it go through? The boy’s sword had transformed into something much different than before.

“Look, it works.”

“… That’s right, crab.”

“Be confident. You can become strong enough. After all, this──”

“This?”

“──Because I guarantee it!”

It was dangerous… ! I almost took advantage of the atmosphere and called myself Kwon Seong.

Still, the words spoken are true and true. Judging by the color of his name tag, this boy is probably a first year student. It’s weak now, but if you started learning the sword properly at the beginning of this year, it’s a pretty decent growth rate considering it doesn’t have any potential.

Of course, if you can achieve great success with ‘swordsmanship’ alone… . Well, that might be impossible.

The level of talent is sufficient to use swordsmanship as the main potential. No matter how you look at it, it’s not like you’re losing confidence this much.

“… Thank you, at least for saying that.”

But the shadow on the boy’s expression still did not disappear. Well, it would be funny if the problem was resolved by hearing a word or two from someone who suddenly appeared.

Ugh, kids these days really have no spirit.

“Can you tell me your name? If I enroll next year, I would like to at least give a proper reward.”

“So I didn’t come for a tour──Oh.”

Buuu.. The vibration of the cell phone cut off the argument. When I took it out of my pocket, it was as expected. There was a call from Sia♡.

… What is the heart behind this name? I don’t remember adding anything like this.

[sunba… , not. Amiya? Wouldn’t you like to come back soon?]

“Yes, I’ll be there soon. … Yo!”

Looking at the time on the screen, I saw that much more time had passed than Sia had said. Oh my, I’m so busy teaching this promising looking kid.

“That’s it, goodbye! Training hard!”

“Oh, wait a minute──”

I don’t have time anymore to do new routes and all. I ignored the boy who was trying to say something and went back the way I came.

Because things like this are more mysterious. A teacher of the mind whose name I do not know. hmm. It’s not bad.

… It was a little later that I thought about the possibility of hearing my name on the phone.
