Episode 52: Cutting, Piercing And Swinging

A massive mansion located in Seongbuk-gu.

As evidenced by the nameplate hanging on the gate, this was the main residence of the Seongbuk Choi Clan, which wielded immense influence across South Korea’s magic and political circles, as well as society in general.

Choi Hye-na, the sole heir of the Seongbuk Choi Clan, which lacked nothing in wealth, power, or history, was considered the best potential daughter-in-law by all the upper-class families in the country.

Adding to that, the fact that she was a promising talent who had reached the 3rd circle at the age of 21 only caused her value to skyrocket.

It was clear that Choi Hye-na would become the next or the one after the next Magic Tower Master. Though, to be fair, when the current Magic Tower Master, Han Ra-el, was 21, she had reached the 4th circle, so Choi Hye-na’s talent was somewhat overshadowed.

Nevertheless, due to her status as the sole heir of the Seongbuk Choi Clan, her guaranteed future as the next Magic Tower Master, and her young and beautiful appearance, the madams of the upper-class families were desperate to have Choi Hye-na meet their sons even once.

Of course, Choi Hye-na, who neither knew nor wanted to know about such things, was busy spending her time alone.

“Heeut…♡ You bad boy…!”

A melting moan echoed throughout the large bath.

Her busy hands between her legs looked similar to when she was in heat at the gate.

“Th-there…!♡ Haa-eueuk…?!♡”

A shallow climax, she didn’t know how many times, teased her.

She had told Kang Hyeon-u to forget everything that happened here after leaving the gate, but it was Choi Hye-na who couldn’t forget.

The memory of overwhelming and dangerous pleasure, which seemed to massage her brain every moment, rather than the subtle pleasure of childish play, tormented her day and night.

What started as a small hand game before bed had now become something she couldn’t stop even during the day or while bathing.

“I never imagined my first contractor would be such a pervert.”

“Shut uuuup…!!♡”

Wendigo, appearing in spirit form, leisurely watched Choi Hye-na, who was shaking her hips and desperately craving pleasure.

“Why don’t you admit it now? You know you can’t get what you want by poking around with those slender fingers.”

Choi Hye-na knew it too.

Compared to Kang Hyeon-u’s, her fingers were pitifully thin and small.

She couldn’t forget the size, thickness, weight, and warmth that seemed to push up her uterus.

She tried to ignore it, but this was the result.

She was comforting herself, imagining the man’s figure, like a pubescent girl just opening her eyes to sex.

She felt self-loathing at her own pathetic behavior, but it was impossible to stop on her own.

Eventually, she found herself waiting for his contact.

-Kang Hyeon-u must be masturbating, remembering that day too, right…?

He definitely would be.

There was no way he wouldn’t.

He took her first time, so he had to be.

But why!

“Why haven’t you contacted me once…!!”

At this point, shouldn’t he contact her first and try to meet her with some lame excuse?

How could a man act like nothing happened like this?

“Next time I see him, I’ll really kill him…”

Woong-

Along with her statement that would have wronged Kang Hyeon-u if he had heard it, a phone screen rang loudly, and a mix of embarrassment, anticipation, and joy bloomed on Choi Hye-na’s face.

[Bad Boy]

“Ahem, ahem!”

Even though it wasn’t a video call, Wendigo was disgusted by her brushing her hair back, clearing her throat, and straightening her posture.

Regardless, Choi Hye-na counted the time, not too fast, not too slow, and then carefully pressed the call button.

“…Hello.”

-Ah, hello?

It was Kang Hyeon-u’s voice, which she had imagined hearing countless times.

“Wh-what’s the matter? You haven’t contacted me once since you were discharged.”

As soon as she heard his voice, the words she had vowed not to say slipped out.

-…I was discharged today? And we met yesterday.

“…”

He was truly an oblivious man.

She wanted to grab his hair and tear it out if he were in front of her.

“I’ll hang up if you don’t have anything to say.”

-No, no. Why are you in such a hurry? I, well, I called because I have a favor to ask. Do you have time?

“…What is it?”

If he had a favor, he should have come to see her in person instead of calling.

She felt unreasonably resentful towards him.

Choi Hye-na, unable to control her pouting lips, listened to Kang Hyeon-u’s request for a while.

To summarize, he was asking if she could send bodyguards to protect the orphanage where he lived as a child until they found a new place to move, because gangsters were causing trouble.

It was a simple request that made her want to laugh.

“…Is that it?”

She couldn’t help but speak in a sharp tone.

-There’s more, but I’ll tell you the rest when I come to your house tomorrow.

“…What?”

He was coming tomorrow?

Where?

To her house?

It was news to her. It was the first time she had heard of it.

-Huh? Didn’t you hear? Your grandmother contacted me and told me to come.

“I didn’t hear…”

Regardless of her somewhat listless voice, the corners of her lips were shaking more violently than ever.

-Well, you heard now. Anyway, I’m coming tomorrow. Can you recommend a gift?

“Gift?”

Kang Hyeon-u’s head had become slightly complicated since he received Choi Yeong-ok’s invitation.

Since he was going to the home of the Seongbuk Choi Clan, the pinnacle of South Korea’s upper class, it was natural to have some decorum, and a gift was a mandatory option.

It would be insane to bring something like a standard gift set to such a prestigious place, and he didn’t have the connections to ask about such things.

Though it was a bit embarrassing, asking Choi Hye-na, his only connection? and the granddaughter of the family, was the most reliable way to avoid wasting money.

“Th-then, shall we meet this evening…?”

Choi Hye-na sat on the edge of the bath, crossing her legs.

It was a habit she wasn’t aware of, something she did when she was nervous.

“It’s not that I have anything else, but I also have something to buy at the department store. Since we’re going, I’ll get your gift too…”

-Ah, sorry. I’m busy this evening.

“…What?”

-I was planning to buy it before going tomorrow from the start.

“…”

-Anyway, if you send me a list of gifts via text, I’ll pick something appropriate from there and buy it…

Click-

Choi Hye-na hung up the phone roughly and threw it away before immersing herself back in the bath.

“…You impotent jerk.”

She was in a bad mood.

“Hello? Hello?”

I stared blankly at the phone that suddenly hung up while I was talking to Choi Hye-na.

“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

But we hadn’t talked long enough for me to say something wrong.

I thought about calling her back, but decided to wait for a text message, and then quickly changed my clothes and left the changing room.

“Don’t you have anything bigger? This is a bit small.”

“XL is small?”

“Yes.”

Since I had to wear a suit, I reluctantly borrowed some sportswear.

But usually, dojos had sizes up to 3XL for members, right? These days, 4XL was standard.

“…Just wear it.”

“Pardon?”

“I said just wear it.”

“Yes.”

How frightening for a student.

“So, what do I do now?”

“What do you mean, what do you do?”

The wolf woman abruptly tossed me a wooden sword.

“See that wooden dummy over there?”

“Yes.”

“You can also see the red painted parts.”

“I can see them.”

“What are you doing?”

“Pardon?”

With an utterly serious expression, the wolf woman said,

“Ten thousand cuts, ten thousand thrusts, and ten thousand swings, each.”

“…?”

“Execute.”

“Bullshit.”

Thwack!

“Execute.”

“…Execute.”

I thought it was a joke, but it wasn’t.

Thwack!

Forced by her oppressive attitude, I had no choice but to swing the wooden sword at the wooden dummy, and only one thought crossed my mind.

‘…Is this really it?’

Frankly, I thought the training of a hidden master who could draw out sword ki would be something extraordinary and amazing.

Of course, I knew the basics are important, but even so, wasn’t this too plain?

“I can see all your stray thoughts.”

She’s short, but her perception was incredibly sharp.

Thwack!

“Ack?!”

“I said I can see everything.”

“Are you hitting your student during training?!”

“Student? I don’t raise students.”

Suddenly, the wolf woman’s expression became strange.

“Then what am I?”

“What do you mean? A member. I’m the director.”

There was no room for jokes in that sharp line.

It was as if she was pushing me away, telling me not to cross the line.

I wasn’t so oblivious that I couldn’t tell, so I silently cut, thrust, and swung at the wooden dummy.

It felt better than I expected.

However, after about ten minutes of hitting it, my arms trembled, and my palms felt numb.

“It’s normal to be tired, so keep going without resting.”

Tap!

“Ack?!”

This time, even though I was diligently doing as she said, the wolf woman suddenly hit my wrist, waist, and pelvis in that order with the wooden sword.

“Hey, why are you hitting me this time?!”

“Do you think I hit you for my own amusement? I was pointing out your posture for correction. Even if you’re tired, keep your waist straight, maintain abdominal pressure, and try not to twist your pelvis. And you need to use your wrist flexibly; if you just use force like now, it’ll break quickly.”

With reasons I couldn’t refute, I had no choice but to swing the sword again without any further protest.

It would be crazy to get angry at a trainer for pointing out your posture while exercising.

By the way, the parts I was hit weren’t as painful as I expected.

I wondered if this was the skill of a master, but as she kept pointing out my flaws, I felt increasingly irritated.

Of course, there was nothing I could do about my anger.

I didn’t want to get killed by a monster who could draw out sword ki.

I kept swinging the sword.

I kept swinging until my breath was at its limit, and I couldn’t even gauge how much time had passed.

Counting was a luxury. I planned to just lie down on the floor if I couldn’t take it anymore.

Until then, I kept swinging, maintaining my posture according to the wolf woman’s instructions.

As my arm gradually lost sensation and my legs wobbled, something amazing happened.

I was able to swing, cut, and thrust more accurately than when I had plenty of energy.

Was it because I was getting used to it?

But it felt like something fundamental had changed, enough to make such a difference in such a short period.

With this feeling, I could have fought more easily in the isolated gate, and that thought filled my head.

The distribution of power.

The correct grip.

The knack for using my shoulders.

Even the unknown sensation rising from my legs through my body.

All of it flowed together naturally, as if it was all being channeled into a single sword strike.

I forgot about my breath that was at its limit and my trembling arms.

Just as I was about to swing the sword again, feeling like my hand was glued to the hilt,

Tap!

“…Huh?”

“Stop.”

The familiar pain pierced my waist.

“The ten thousand are done, so go now.”

Only then did I notice that the sun was setting outside.

‘Has it already been that long…?’

I couldn’t imagine the sun was already setting when it felt like only a short time had passed.

But I had arrived at the dojo long after lunchtime. And she said ten thousand was done already?

“What?”

“…Nothing.”

I couldn’t argue with the director telling me to leave.

“Don’t stray off the path, and just go home and rest today. You don’t want to collapse on the street.”

“You’re very concerned about your student.”

“Want to die?”

She was quite shy.

“Oh, right. I don’t think we’ve introduced ourselves yet.”

“I know your name.”

“But I don’t know yours.”

“What do you need to know for?”

“…”

That’s true.

“Hurry up and go so I can rest too.”

“…Even though you haven’t done anything.”

Thwack!

“I can hear everything, you bastard.”

Jeon Seo-ha, left alone in the dojo after Kang Hyeon-u left, stared at the wooden sword he had held for a long time.

“What kind of person is he?”

She carefully examined the deeply indented handle.

She wondered if a mage who didn’t use mana could do this, but considering that a guy who had held a sword for less than a year had come to the threshold of the realm of immersion after only three or four hours of training, she could just accept it.

The more she looked at it, the less she understood why he became a mage.

With this talent, he could make a living just by honing his swordsmanship.

Moreover, although it was only once, the way he corrected his posture before she even pointed it out was quite impressive.

“A student, huh…”

After pondering her own words for a moment, Jeon Seo-ha threw the wooden sword aside and went into the director’s office.

It was a word that would never be associated with her.
