-Chaae Aeng!!

The sound of swords and greatswords colliding resonates.

The girl and the woman who looked like each other wielding weapons in the thick fog did not say a word. Even if you speak in the first place, you may be able to understand.

In that case, the only answer is martial arts.

Sayun swung her sword as expected, and the woman counterattacked by blocking her attacks with improvisation and experience.

White Middle Ages, White Middle Ages. For a moment, the victory flows to Sayun, and then to the woman again, leading to Baekjungse again.

-Wow!!

My arm was cut.

But it is not a valid hit. That’s why Sayun gritted his teeth and quickly went inside, staring at the woman.

He uses a meteor fist towards the abdomen of a woman who dodges a sharp sword, and when she blocks it, it changes into the Geumnasu technique and pulls it, breaking her posture.

When the woman who was rolling on the floor lightly got up, rotated her body, and used sword energy, Sayoon created sword energy in the same way, blocked it, and then attacked the air.

-Suddenly!!

Some of the woman’s gray hair falls off. The eyes of the woman staring at it were becoming increasingly cold.

Are they planning to use Yuseongrak again this time?

It reminded me of the sparring I had with Hongryeon. At that time, she taught me how to deal with Yoo Seong-rak.

‘For sure…’

Meteor Rock is a powerful attack, so blocking it can result in damage.

Therefore, you should avoid it by aiming for when the meteor falls and its attack power is maximized.

For that purpose, Sayun, who had seen the shooting star unfold from Hongryeon several times, held his sword tightly.

-Cow!!

The moment she took a big step, Sayun felt her entire body tightening.

Gunwangbo. A martial art that makes the opponent tired and unable to move for a while.

As the body of the woman who opened it rose into the air, Sayun gathered the inner strength of Hongseong Shingong.

-Ssss!!

The power of Yoo Seong-rak is stronger than the last time I saw it. Sayoon gritted his teeth as he stared at her as she struck down the great sword, surrounded by red energy contained throughout her body.

It is now.

“Inhale!!”

With low energy, he launched a light attack and quickly escaped the spot. Seeing that the woman’s eyes opened wide, Sayun opened his guard again and rushed at her as soon as he could get out of Yoo Seong-rak’s range.

Hongseong Shingong Swordsmanship. Blood storm.

The sword wrapped in red energy moved quickly and aimed at the woman’s chest. However, she narrowly avoided it and took a step back, staring at Sayoon with startled eyes.

Facing her intense gaze, Sayun held the sword tightly with both hands and pointed it at her. The woman momentarily hardened her expression and adjusted her sword.

like that.

The girl and the woman who looked like each other quickly clashed their weapons.

“Haa…haa…”

How many times did the weapons collide? Sayoon looked at the woman with a clear look of exhaustion.

Her herbivorous diet, which had transformed her into an imitation, was gradually becoming more sophisticated.

It seemed as if he was gradually correcting his own mistakes while watching Sa-yoon’s Hongseong Shingong, which was reinterpreted based on his long experience.

But still, I guess not yet.

In the end, the game ended in a draw, and the woman looked on with sad eyes and feelings of injustice.

It seemed like the woman had no intention of stopping the tears that were now overflowing.

Sayoon couldn’t say anything to her.

If she had experienced what she thought she would.

Because I couldn’t say anything because I hadn’t experienced that.

No matter what I say, it will just be a deception to her.

Sayoon slowly dropped his sword and stared at the woman. When the fog gradually thickened and her appearance disappeared, Sayun came to his senses.

“……”

Sayoon slowly woke up in a peaceful dormitory where everyone was sleeping comfortably.

And when I looked out the window, I saw that the position of the moon had changed slightly.

It had been less than an hour since I fell asleep.

I fought until I ran out of strength, but only this much time had passed.

It felt like the world was telling me that the fight earlier was just a dream, a daydream that had nothing to do with you.

Sayoon returned to her seat and opened the drawer.

When I open the box carefully stored inside, I see two mirrors.

Heart Sutra, and Space Sutra.

Destroying just one of them will end the daydream.

Sayun, who had been staring at the mirror in silence, lifted up two mirrors.

After staring at it for a while, I set it aside and looked at the small box in the drawer again.

She reached for the innermost item among the various items contained within it.

Although it was just a bundle of paper, Sayoon held up the things that were more precious than anything else inside and read the words on the first piece of paper.

[Are you eating?]

A letter sent by my uncle.

As she read her treasure page by page, she gently closed her eyes.

As soon as the next day came, Sayun went to Geomseong.

While sitting in the garden and meditating as usual, she was puzzled by Sayun’s visit and asked.

“What’s going on?”

“…over there. Master. Can I learn the sword technique now?”

“Daegeom style? hmm. Well, it’s not impossible. And to what extent have you not cooked it?”

There were no disciples who did not know that once Hongseong Shingong reached a certain level, they could learn the Great Swordsmanship. And Sayoon also received permission from the Sword Saint to learn the Great Swordsmanship.

Therefore, there is no problem with learning the sword style now, but because Sayoon insisted on sword style, he did not specifically practice the sword style.

“I want to learn it properly.”

“Why?”

Sayoon pursed her lips. Geomseong, who was staring at her as she hesitated to answer, smiled.

“If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to.”

“Yes!”

“Anyway, Yuwol asked me to tell you when it’s time for you to learn the sword technique. I can make a separate greatsword for you.”

“Ahaha… I’m thankful.”

But I didn’t want to rely on him until now. Geomseong slightly shook his head at Sayoon’s reaction.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. Because it doesn’t look like it will completely go over to the Great Sword style…”

“Yes. I like Geomsik.”

“Really? Still, it’s not a bad thing to learn the martial arts of a monk. ruler. So shall we get started right away? It won’t be easy so be prepared.”

“Yes!!”

It’s not easy.

Sayoon thought of her.

It couldn’t have been easier for her.

Then he couldn’t be whining about something like this.

“Slow!!”

A week has passed since I practiced the Great Swordsmanship. Although he had already learned the basic sword style, the more advanced the sword style became, the more difficult it became, so Sayun could not follow it properly.

Normally he was a kind swordsman, but when he was training, he was driven like a ghost.

“You said it!! I want to learn quickly! Wake up and grab your weapon!! And that’s not how blueberries work!!”

Staring at Sayun holding the great sword, Geomseong held the great sword with both hands. And with a small, deep breath, he quickly swung his greatsword.

-Quaaang!!

Sayoon flew away and rolled around on the floor with a huge impact sound.

Hongryeon, who was watching it, recalled an old memory.

ah. I was like that too.

“Why is Sayoon working so hard?”

Ryu Hyeon was also learning the swordsman style, but he didn’t do it that badly when sparring with the swordsman. Calmly accept the true meaning of herbivorous food and get used to it.

Of course, he was a bit aggressive back then, but he didn’t beat me up like that.

“Because Sayun said he wanted to learn quickly. I guess they don’t intend to learn it just at a half-level level.”

With her arms crossed, Hongryeon watched Geomseong and Sayun. Sayun, who blocked the explosion but was unable to completely reduce the shock, spat out the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth along with saliva and stood up.

“Again… please.”

Doesn’t fall down.

Do not give up.

Hongryeon was impressed by the will in Sayun’s eyes.

A warrior with a clear goal can quickly become stronger.

So Sayoon will definitely become stronger.

Therefore, Hongryeon quickly turned her head and the other disciples who were practicing with her smiled awkwardly.

“Now! Let’s all do more!!”

Isn’t it impossible to lose when the teacher and the youngest are training so hard? At Hongryeon’s harsh cries, the disciples nodded and raised their weapons.

okay.

My youngest is so hard-working, so I can’t take it easy.

***

While I was working, the door opened. When I entered my office, I only slightly raised my head, thinking that he was one of the three people who could come in like that.

“I’m here.”

“Hmm? Are you here? It’s later than I thought.”

As expected, it was Chaejin, one of the three.

She came home early from work at Munwoljeong and sat down next to me, leaning her head against me.

It’s probably asking for a pat. As I petted her, she smiled happily and sighed softly.

“Wow. This isn’t easy.”

“Haha. If running a faction was easy, anyone would have done it.”

“Phew. Is this how I can become the owner of Moonwoljeong…”

“Try your best. Effort.”

“Ahaha… I have to do it. Oh right. I remembered it because I tried hard. Sayoon seems to be training really hard these days, right?”

I heard it too. Since last week, I have been training the Great Swordsmanship in earnest with the Sword Master.

I liked swordsmanship and thought I would only learn swordsmanship, but it was strange that he suddenly learned great swordsmanship, but I didn’t say anything because I thought I should just let Sayun do it if she wanted it.

Chaejin smiled bitterly at me, who was thinking of just making a usable greatsword and sending it to me.

“I heard it’s a bit extreme.”

“…How much?”

Didn’t you hear that?

When I was surprised, Chaejin smiled and said.

“Would you like to go together? Because Ryeon asked me to send something to Hongseongmun.”

If so, you should go.

I headed to Hongseongmun with Chaejin. I greeted the disciples of Hongseongmun who greeted me, distributed snacks and food I had brought, and then headed to the training center.

-Quaaang!!

Geomseong’s powerful attacks, and Sayoon, who can withstand them.

Sayun’s body was stained with blood and bruises here and there.

“Ah. No, what is this?”

“Huh? Why you?”

“Why do you practice like this?”

“Hmm… Sayoon asked me to tell him the fastest way to learn it. That’s also the way I learned it.”

“What is that?”

“First, you have to memorize as much knowledge about martial arts as possible, and after that, you have to acquire it physically. It’s a time-honored training method.”

I looked at Chaejin and she nodded.

“That’s how I learned it too.”

“…Oh. Ah…”

As expected, the world of martial arts is profound.

Is it really okay though?

“After the treatment is over, all treatment is provided. And if you eat breakfast, it can be solved to some extent. If it gets dangerous, Master will stop, so it’s okay.”

Hongryeon seemed to know that I was worried and explained calmly. At that time, the Sword Saint’s great sword was aimed at Sayun’s neck.

Sayoon, who barely managed to block it, used the Great Swordsmanship to push away Geomseong, and she nodded as if she was satisfied.

“Okay. Well, that’s it for today.”

“Thank you for your hard work…”

This is Sayoon, who had an almost real-life sparring with a superhuman. She sat down on the floor, gasping for breath, looked at the swordsman who came towards me, and then saw that I had come.

“Ah. Uncle…”

“Are you okay?”

“Hehe… Yes. Wait a minute…”

“Yes.”

She sits cross-legged and begins the fortune-telling breakfast. I watched it, and Geomseong, Hongryeon, and Chaejin went to the back and started talking about something.

“Shall we go ahead and teach Yoo Seong-rak?”

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

“No, Sayoon shows such enthusiasm. Chaejin. If you have time, please spar with me.”

“Oh. yes. But to what extent? Is it enough for Ryun to teach?”

“…How much does it cost?”

“Until you almost pass out?”

I tried to ignore the scary sound coming from behind and watched Sayoon. In the meantime, she slowly opened her eyes, perhaps having finished her fortune-telling breakfast, and smiled brightly at me.

“What brought you here?”

“I heard that you were accelerating your training, so I came to cheer you on. But didn’t you say you were using swordsmanship? Why the sudden sword ceremony?”

“Ah.”

Sayun blushed as if she was embarrassed. And after hesitating for a long time and scratching the ground with her feet, she finally opened her mouth.

“…I just received it.”

“Huh?”

“Because I received enough to overflow. To my uncle, to my teacher, to my other sisters. And to others…”

“……”

“…But not her.”

Sayoon’s expression slowly raised her head, and at the same time, there was shame and deep determination.

“…So. I’m going to do it. Just like my uncle did for me. I…”

I didn’t say anything.

excellent.

But that’s not enough.

So leave the rest to me, to us.
