***

It is said that people who can meet lifelong friends with whom they can confide in, a loved one for whom they would give everything, and a rival who wants to win no matter what are said to be happy people.

If you think about it that way, Chaejin thought she would be a happy enough person.

Because I found a friend I can confide in and a lover who wouldn’t hesitate to give me anything.

And, no matter what happens, I have a rival that I want to beat.

Recalling the story from the ancient temple, Chaejin slowly pulled the sword and held it.

A part of the audience was illuminated by a sharp silver blade.

The face of the man sitting there was full of worry and tension.

June.

A friend who she can confide in, and a man she truly loves.

He was watching this place. That’s why Chaejin couldn’t release his momentum.

Because the woman across from him was pointing a greatsword at him.

Hongryeon.

A rival and a romantic enemy who may fight for the rest of their lives.

Chaejin spoke softly to Kang Ja, who was pointing his sword at him with his red hair flowing down naturally.

“This could be the last time.”

“That’s right.”

Hongryeon was slightly surprised at how calm her voice was.

okay. It was just as Chaejin said.

Since the last time we danced together, I thought there would never be a day where we would have a strong fight where we would give our best, and that might even cause injury to the other person.

Hongryeon glanced towards the audience.

Sitting there was June.

And Geomseong, Sayun.

Other students also came out to cheer.

I didn’t want to lose here with everyone watching.

Therefore, Hongryeon suppressed her excitement as much as possible.

“You probably hate Yuwol, right?”

“I guess so.”

If you and Chaejin fight together and give your all, someone will definitely get hurt. Thinking about it, Yuwol has always blocked that rain.

Nevertheless, they allowed their fight this time.

Maybe it was because these two knew that they needed each other to move on.

no. You know. Because he always knew a lot.

When Chaejin spoke seriously, she thought of Yuwol, who nodded with a serious expression.

When I think of him always accepting and dealing with me honestly, my expression softens without my knowledge.

iced coffee. Let’s calm down. Now is the time to fight.

“…relaxing?”

Look. Hongryeon noticed it.

You seem like a sly girl. But Chaejin just laughed.

“I’m always thinking of him.”

“…I don’t know who it is.”

It was when I muttered in a low tone. Yang Gak, who had already climbed up unarmed, shouted.

“Start!!”

There was no need to say who came first.

Maybe I’ve wanted to do this for a long time.

Maybe it was something I had never liked.

just. Maybe he wanted to have a cool fight.

As it was resolved, the clash between Hongryeon and Chaejin was bound to be big.

-Quaaa!!

A great sword being struck down and a sword being raised.

The moment the two weapons collide in the air, an explosion of sound created by the collision of energy spreads around.

Despite this, their expressions did not change.

Chaejin is smiling, and Hongryeon is expressionless.

-Quaaang!! Kwaaaang!!

Explosive sounds that are hard to believe are made by mere metal objects colliding resonate.

The unarmed body is shattered here and there by the clash of internal forces, and the stones on the floor bounce up.

But the two didn’t stop.

-Quaaang!!

gradually becomes stronger. Hongryeon, who was striking the great sword with such force, gritted her teeth when she saw Chaejin’s expression change.

You troublesome girl.

I tried to stop the slashing sword, but it was already too late. If it had been a collision before, now it just felt like cutting through water.

Hongryeon gritted her teeth and Chaejin turned around. The sword that catches the great sword gently heads toward the floor, then changes direction and rises up. If you don’t avoid it, you’ll get hit.

-Push shot!

The degree that passed by grazing the cheek comes down with a burning sensation.

How to avoid this?

There is only one answer. Hongryeon lowered her upper body and approached glidingly, moving the hilt of her sword towards Chaejin’s smooth abdomen.

“Ugh!!”

Evade and attack at the same time. As the Hongseong Shingong’s great sword-like explosion unfolded, Chaejin gritted his teeth. When Hongryeon took a step back, feeling as if she had been hit in the stomach with a club, she did not stop.

“Haaa!!”

As expected, you are not avoiding it.

It was the same as always.

You’ve always faced it head-on.

Fighting too.

and…

Chaejin thought of Hongryeon clinging to Yuwol.

He remembered Hongryeon seducing him by thrusting her irritatingly voluptuous breasts at him.

Of course, I am also confident about my body, but not as much as Hongryeon. That’s why I didn’t like it.

He’s the person I like.

He is someone who can guide me.

“Haaap!!”

…He’s my master.

Therefore, Chaejin swung the sword like an angry dog running wild.

I couldn’t back down.

And I didn’t want to back down.

and.

It was the same with Hongryeon.

No matter what he says, he always clings to Yuwol, holds his hand, and strokes him.

I have to approach it myself.

I have to approach every time.

He didn’t like Chaejin, who always clung to him as if she only trusted him.

so that.

She didn’t back down either.

***

“Um…”

Is this okay?

I could only watch with bated breath the sight of the two masters fighting with their teeth clenched.

Every time the Hongryeon Greatsword is swung, great destruction occurs.

And every time Chaejin’s sword is lowered, the power of destruction aimed at her splits and scatters to the surroundings.

I looked at him with concern and then turned my eyes to the Sword Saint sitting next to me.

“Don’t worry.”

A similar thing happened before. When the two were dancing together, she said that she would step in if it felt dangerous, and at that time, she was able to properly understand the situation.

In that case, you just have to trust it this time too…

“Ugh…”

I heard Sayoon moaning. This was because the moment Chae-jin, who was lying down after being hit by Hong-ryeon’s sword strike, lowered his sword, blood burst out from Hong-ryeon’s arm.

Still, the two didn’t stop.

Although blood was flowing from cuts and ruptures here and there, the two women were.

No, for now, they could be said to be two beasts, fighting without caring about their surroundings.

“Awesome.”

At that time, I turned my head when I heard a voice behind me. Myojae and Joo Ye-ryeong were sitting there.

Didn’t you leave?

As I looked at him, Zhou Ye-ryeong, who gave me a quick glance with his eyes on the cotton thread, spoke in a low tone.

“…There is no such thing as a monster. Because I’m getting stronger in that situation.”

“Only those who risk their lives and fight can grow.”

At Geomseong’s words, Myojae and Zhou Yeryeong said nothing more. I just watch them with bated breath.

“Why are you fighting like that?”

As Cheon Ilhwa spoke, Geomseong glanced at me. No, why me?

“It must be the desire to protect and the passion to win. There is nothing more important to a warrior than that.”

“Hoo. So, does the Sword Saint also have those feelings?”

Cheon Il-hwa asked curiously, but she gave no answer. Just gently touch my finger with your finger.

When I looked at her, she smiled slightly.

“Oh.”

Chae-ryeon’s exclamation bursts out. Two beauties covered in blood are seen staring at each other.

“…I guess I’m going to end it now.”

Hongryeon slowly grabbed the great sword with both hands.

Chaejin pushed the sword into the sword house.

Are we trying to use the best herbal food that each person can use?

“Moonlight Clash, and Yuseongrak… But it would be difficult to block Moonlight Clash with just Yuseongrak.”

Wolgwangcham is an herbal food to use energy. Even though it is not a full moon, Chaejin has currently created a half moon.

In that case, you’ll need to use something stronger to deal with it, but after Yoo Seong-rak…

“…Sigh. It’s really gross.”

“Who can say anything…!!”

The energy rising from the two becomes stronger. Geomseong, who was watching the two growl at each other, slowly relaxed his body. When she is concentrating, ready to jump out at any time.

The surroundings turn black. Night is coming.

The moment when the half moon rises on a night created by the power of one person.

Hongryeon’s body soared into the air.

Yoo Seong-rak…

This wasn’t it.

It’s not a meteor falling. She was calling out.

stars.

Starlight.

“…I failed.”

Surprised, Geomseong tried to get up from his seat and said with a bitter smile. Failed…

Are you saying you couldn’t create strength?

At that moment, artificially created starlight began pouring in and colliding with the light created by the half moon.

A truly fantastic sight.

While everyone was silent as they watched the warriors trying to become superhumans, two unarmed, almost destroyed women were seen standing glaring at each other.

“Who, who won?!”

It was a shocking result. If they did well, everyone was nervous because it looked like the 10th best in the world could become the 12th best in the world in the near future.

And, Geomseong looked at them for a moment and then opened his mouth.

“Ryun won. You were lucky. And… no. It’s nothing. Let’s talk later.”

dump. Chaejin sits down on the floor. And Hongryeon could barely stand, supporting her body with her great sword.

Hongryeon sighed as she watched Chaejin fall to the floor.

“…You are truly terrible…”

“…Ha. Who cares what to say…”

Although both seem difficult to move, the original result is that the person standing wins.

Yun-gak looked at the two in turn and then shouted.

“The winner of this Seomhwachon dance competition is Hong Seong-moon’s Hongryeon!!”

The results came out, but the awards ceremony could not be held. The winner and runner-up both fainted and were carried away, so what can they do?

Still, it could not be denied that it was a famous match that is not easily seen, so everyone was able to disperse with satisfaction.

Of course I wasn’t satisfied.

Hongryeon and Chaejin both moved to the guest room, and it was only after seeing the doctors from the Murim Alliance and the government office working hard to treat me that I was able to sigh.

“Ah…”

Hong Seong-moon’s people were in the room where Hongryeon was, so I headed to the room where Chae-jin was.

Chae-ryun, who had been sitting and looking at her, smiled bitterly and left, and I saw Chae-jin lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling.

I approached Chaejin, who was looking at me with her head slightly turned, and smiled bitterly at her.

“I lost.”

“The Sword Master said that Hongryeon was just lucky.”

“Luck is also a skill.”

“How do you look comfortable?”

I thought they would cry and make a fuss because they lost.

“Hehe. Still, it doesn’t mean that I didn’t gain anything. You can become a little stronger.”

“Haha…”

I stroked Chaejin’s head, and she smiled happily.

“I promise.”

“Hmm?”

“…I will win next time.”

Chaejin smiled softly and said, and I smiled back.

“There will be no next time. I won’t allow this kind of dancing anymore. I thought my liver was failing.”

“Ahahaha~!”

Chaejin blinked one eye, took my hand, rubbed it against her face, and said softly.

“…Because you can win with something other than bimu.”
