111. Conversation.

“Will you do more?”

The vice commander grabbed a melon-sized rock with staggering movements. It was the most intact rock available.

The vice commander, barely raising his body, spoke with a parched voice.

“This… you cult leader bastard… dare insult me? I am the vice commander of the Black Sword Unit! Vice commander!”

His crouching thigh swelled up.

Kwaang!

The pebble-sized stones turned to dust completely.

“Die-eeee!”

Before he knew it, the vice commander’s longsword was emitting a jet-black radiance.

Suddenly, the situation of fighting with Yeom Han-jin is superimposed on the current situation.

Even though they are the same vice commander, how different they are. Yo Han couldn’t hide his disappointment.

Kieeeing-!

His sword cried out, spewing blue light. Blue diagonal lines were drawn in the air.

The jet-black ink disappeared without a trace with the blue brushstrokes.

Rustle- Whiriririk!

The vice commander’s longsword rotated rapidly and flew far away. The man’s gaze also followed the longsword.

His pupils were empty.

“N-, no way… I, I lost?”

The master, who was watching the fight from the side, said indifferently.

“It’s not just losing, it’s a crushing defeat. The vice commander of the Black King Fortress sword unit is nothing special.”

“……”

Yo Han smirked. His master’s ability to give sharp remarks from the side was outstanding.

He didn’t seem to be like this to Yeom Han-jin, but it seemed like his attitude had changed because the person itself had no manners.

At that time, the sound of many people’s footsteps was heard from somewhere. It seems they are coming after hearing the commotion.

Dududududu-!

“What’s going on!”

“Who dares to touch the Great Lord’s guest!”

“I will never forgive… huh?”

The members who rushed in hurriedly realized the identity of the attacker and their expressions hardened.

And soon, as if realizing, they looked back and forth between Yo Han and the vice commander.

One of the members said. His face was pale. He had a small anticipation of the situation that would unfold in the future.

“Wa-, wait a minute… Great Lord. Where is the Great Lord? She doesn’t know this fact yet─”

Slice-

The member’s vision was dyed blood red.

An arm floating in the air. Blood fountains erupted from the cross-section a beat late.

At the same time as the arm fell to the ground, the vice commander was rubbing his face on the ground.

A chilling woman’s voice pierced the members’ ears.

“You have committed an unforgivable act, Vice Commander.”

“Kehk, keheeehk……”

A small, white foot was placed on the back of the vice commander’s head.

It was a very charming sight, but the person involved was not at all.

Rather, he felt like he was suffocating to death. He realized for the first time that if you press your face this hard, your airway is blocked!

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry! For-, forgive me… Keoheok!”

Woodudeuk-!

His clear nasal bridge bent into a ㄱ shape. Yellow nasal mucus and blood mixed together from his nostrils, contaminating the bathwater.

“Didn’t I just say it? That you committed an unforgivable act. So don’t ask for forgiveness. It’s a meaningless act.”

“Kkeoheoeoeok……”

Sarah swept her hair back. A faint blood vessel was bulging out on her forehead.

“What should I do with you? I gave you so much warning, but you caused another incident? One arm is not enough. At least both arms─”

Yo Han cut off her words.

“Miss Sarah. I’m okay. Too much punishment is not good. Even so, isn’t he the vice commander of the same sword unit? And the Ganmu Assembly will be held soon, and each person is precious.”

“But Young Sir, this person…”

“Yes. I know it well. He clearly committed a serious crime. Then how about this?”

Yo Han reached out and pointed to the vice commander.

“Temporarily dismiss him from his position as vice commander, and have him work as my bodyguard only during this Ganmu Assembly period. How is it?”

“Yes? This person as Young Sir Yo Han’s bodyguard?”

She frowned.

“Absolutely impossible. In the first place, there’s no way that’s possible. He attacked Young Sir just a moment ago.”

Yo Han smiled softly.

“It’s an incident that originated from a small misunderstanding. If you give me a little time, it’s a problem that can be resolved quickly. Please trust me.”

“……”

Sarah closed her mouth tightly and remained silent. Her eyebrows gathered in a reverse eight shape represent her negative psychology.

Yo Han drove the wedge. Particles of blue light gathered from his fingers.

“Even if it’s swordsmanship, surely I won’t lose?”

Only then did she agree.

“Hmm… Haa, I understand. I don’t know what you’re thinking. Let’s wrap up this incident here. Then.”

She turned her body. Suddenly, a female member’s figure caught her eye.

The female member was strangely blushing and scanning Yo Han’s body.

Pajik-

A blood vessel bulged out again on her forehead.

She said in a cold voice.

“Everyone, return to your positions. And you! You, follow me to the Great Lord’s room.”

The female member, who was singled out by her, opened her eyes like a rabbit.

The member tried to ask something, but her atmosphere was so icy that she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

In the end, the female member drooped her shoulders and left the bathhouse following her.

“……”

“Kkeueueueue……”

In that way, only one man emitting faint groans and three naked men were left in the bathhouse.

Among them, a middle-aged man opened his mouth.

“Shall we finish our bath?”

“You’re crazy. Master.”

***

Splatter-!

Yo Han threw himself on the bed in the assigned room. The soft sensation that wrapped around his whole body seemed to dissolve his fatigue.

“Sit down. You bled a lot. You should rest at least a little.”

“……Yes.”

The vice commander, no, the one-armed man, lowered his head and sat on the chair.

The chair was right in front of the door, a place where a dog guarding the house would be more likely to be than a place to rest.

The man also seemed to know that, and subtly frowned.

“When did you say the Ganmu Assembly starts?”

When Yo Han asked that, Jang Cheong replied.

“It starts in four days. We arrived earlier than I thought, so there’s still time.”

“It’s all thanks to you. Disciple. If it weren’t for that mysterious transportation ability, it would have taken at least a day longer.”

The master rarely praised Yo Han. It seems he liked the camping trip.

“It’s nothing special. Instead of focusing on training during the remaining time, let’s observe the movements of the Black King Fortress.”

“Good idea. There’s definitely an atmosphere where something will go wrong, so acquiring information is even more important.”

The master turned his head and looked at the one-armed man.

“Still, being a ‘former’ vice commander, you’ll be more knowledgeable about the situation than us, right? Hey, do you know anything?”

At the master’s question, the one-armed man remained silent for a while. When Yo Han put his hand on the sword hilt because he couldn’t stand it, he finally opened his mouth.

“Wa-, wait a moment. I was thinking. Ha, ha.”

Swallowing, the one-armed man struggled to open his mouth.

He had first aid, but it seems there are still aftereffects.

“War, that’s right. Our Black King Fortress is currently preparing for war with the White Path. This is because organizations under the Black King Fortress have been frequently attacked recently.”

“As expected, the purpose of this Ganmu Assembly was war preparation.”

The one-armed man fiddled with his left deltoid. It was empty.

“Others from another world. So, people like our Great Lord are appearing a lot these days. Thanks to that, the balance between the Black and White Paths has been broken.”

“How so?”

“It’s not certain, but the number of people from another world who fell into the White Path is said to be far greater than the Black Path.”

“Hmm, so that’s what it was.”

Yo Han finally understood. For some reason, many people from another world flowed into the White Path, and conversely, the number on this side is small.

Yo Han recalled the message he had witnessed before arriving at the trial.

‘They definitely said that only players with high rankings would participate in this trial.’

Since they are humans who are somewhat capable, they can be sufficiently used as immediate combat power.

The one-armed man continued.

“Since the difference in power has already widened, the King is preparing for war.”

“It’s a much wiser choice than doing nothing.”

The master nodded.

“What kind of special privileges can you receive if you win at the Ganmu Assembly? Do you know anything?”

“Special privileges… There must be something. But since it’s information I can’t access…”

Yo Han suddenly asked.

“Then does Miss Sarah know?”

Then the one-armed man’s expression shook. He bit his lip and answered.

“The Great Lord… would know. At least she knows more than me.”

“Is that so? Then let’s go see her now.”

“Yes? Now?”

The one-armed man was noticeably embarrassed. How long has it been since his arm was cut off, and he’s already meeting her?

Yo Han seemed to realize the one-armed man’s worries and said with a smirk.

“Don’t worry. She’s not the type of person to be happy or sad about such trivial matters.”

“Trivial matters…”

It was rather counterproductive. The one-armed man’s complexion became even darker.

It was not Yo Han’s concern. Yo Han got up from the bed and said to the master and Jang Cheong.

“I’ll go alone. Rest.”

“Okay.”

“Great Lord. I’m okay. I can follow you!”

Jang Cheong tried to get up from his seat, but Yo Han reached out and stopped him.

Seeing Yo Han’s firm expression, Jang Cheong shrank back.

“Don’t worry. I’m just going to have a conversation. Then, I’ll be back.”
