Cheong’s eyes narrowed.

“As far as I know, there is only one person in the world who trespasses into someone else’s guest room?”

“Of course! That bitch of Geomhwa has come and gone!”

“No. you. You.”

Rather, I was more concerned about the common phrase, “a manipulative act.”

what? Is it so common that women tear each other’s clothes?

“I did that. When I tried to wear clothes with a dagger, it didn’t work out well.”

“Why do you do that?”

“That’s right. Why would they do this… … .”

If the dagger had been a little less sharp, it wouldn’t have been this difficult.

However, did you say it was a celadon sword?

As expected from a renowned sword, the moment the hem of a garment is caught on the blade and puts even the slightest weight on it, it is cut off very naturally.

In the end, I had to pull the clothes by gently scraping them with the tip of the blade while maintaining an angle that did not put force on the hem that was in contact with the blade.

However, because the tip of the blade is so sharp, it will most likely pierce the fabric and reach the hilt, grazing the back of your hand.

And when you pull it out, the blade gets wet, so the cut area becomes wider.

I practiced all night long, feeling like I had thrown away one of my clothes, and somehow I succeeded in getting dressed up.

“But what, you knew when I would come and bought it for me.”

Then, Tang Nan-ah screamed loudly.

“You, Cheong! Then you can’t leave! If you move even a little, you can see all the skin!”

“… … ? Of course I won’t go out like this. What on earth do you think of me?”

“But, you walk around completely naked at the priestess’ gate. Well, it’s like a hobby to show off. Even when I sleep. ah! Don’t get me wrong? Lily walks around with her breasts exposed all the time, right? I can understand everything. huh. Just looks good! Rather good! agree! Thanks!”

“What are you talking about? And when did I walk around naked at the Shinnyeomun? Are you sure you’re dressed? These are clothes that Master made for me?”

“Yes. huh. that’s right. okay. Cheong-ah is right. Everything is correct. If Cheong-ah is like that, then that’s probably it.”

“This pisses me off… … ”

“Ah! But I’ll be back soon, so you can’t leave then?”

“Hey!”

Tang Nan-ah was angry until the end and then ran away and disappeared.

When it comes to hemp and linen, they are the cheapest fabrics in the central region. Because the thread is thick and rough, it is hard to say that it feels good when touching the skin, but it has the advantage of being strong and tough.

For reference, hemp is made by weaving hemp.

Anyway, hemp clothes are very difficult to maintain.

Once the time comes, it doesn’t fall out. Once it was wrinkled, it left a mark like folded iron, making it difficult to straighten out.

Therefore, the people of the central plains devised wisdom to overcome this.

Difficult to manage?

Then, you don’t have to take care of it!

It doesn’t go away when the time comes?

Then shouldn’t it be removed?

So, hemp clothes were usually work clothes that were just worn and thrown away when worn out.

You don’t even wash it; you just stir it in water and let it dry.

Thanks to this, after wearing it for a few years, it turned black and wrinkled here and there, so if people were wearing shabby clothes in old paintings, they were hemp clothes.

Therefore, Cheong’s feelings as he held a sword against this simple linen uniform became much more comfortable.

In addition, it feels comfortable, and the fabric itself is strong and rough, so it is easy to wear on the tip of a sword, so it is much more comfortable to wear with a dagger in hand.

Thus, Cheong succeeded in wearing clothes without holes in just one hour and a half.

Considering my previous record of not sleeping at all last night, whining the whole time, tearing up a pair of uniforms, and only succeeding in wearing them twice, I would say this is an incredible achievement.

Cheong is elated, it’s no big deal! After raising my nose, the next thing to do was breakfast.

Still, things were a little better because breakfast was dumplings, vegetables, and soup.

Dumplings can be held up with a dagger and put into one’s mouth, while small vegetables are tangled together and if you cut them roughly, they end up looking like lumps.

Soup, well, it’s nothing more than a hard bowl on a plate that can be lifted with a dagger, even if it’s a mushy piece of meat with a mess of a center of gravity.

An ordinary person’s arms would tremble due to the weight, but Cheong possessed such strength that he could hold and eat a cooking bowl with his fingers instead of a bowl.

Even so, it didn’t change the fact that he was trying hard, and Dannana, who was watching him, ended up saying something.

“Can’t you at least eat a little more comfortably?”

“Except for eating and getting dressed, the only thing we do is practice. And if you avoid it just because it’s hard, you’ll never be able to do it. If you do it, you will get used to it.”

It is difficult to protest against the original theory.

Instead, the listener feels a little unfair.

For example, a friend says something like this.

Why are you dozing off with your book open? Since I’m going to sleep at night anyway, I thought it would be better to read at least one line from the words of the saints.

There’s nothing to say in response, but you’ll be annoyed. I wonder how many books he reads.

Likewise, Tang Nan’er’s expression became stern.

Since when did he become so passionate about training? Even eating together, he was having a hard time in the morning.

But what can Tang Nan-er do if she is dissatisfied?

I should have gone back sulking like yesterday, but after thinking about it carefully, I thought only the polite girl would benefit, so I made a surprise attack early in the morning.

After eating breakfast, I took a seat in the training area and slowly unwrapped the vegetables I knew to warm up.

It was a bonus to sit with my chin resting and chatting with a bored Dannan.

“Ah, that’s right. Nana, do you know Seoliri Sojeo?”

“Huh? You mean ice snowflake? You know everything. But no one will know you and be close to you. But why?”

“Hmm? just. I saw her once the other day and she was a beauty. What can I say, did you see the tear spots under the eyes? It has a very elegant look, but there is a dot right there, wow.”

“What, are you looking for a beautiful woman in front of a beautiful woman? Now, look at this. What is this?”

“I don’t believe it is called a calyx.”

“Why, I am the one reading the book? Since the flower is supported, it is a calyx.”

As I was chatting with Dang Nan-ah, Namgung Shin-jae, who was usually the first to arrive but had always been perfect until now, came by.

“Geomwoo? hmm. Are you in mourning? I will express my condolences.”

“What, why are you suddenly making it a collection of portraits?”

“I was just wondering because Geomwoo was wearing a horse robe. Hmm, is it really that difficult? There’s nothing to remove while dividing the black, so it’s just clothes-”

“You didn’t buy it because you didn’t have money, right? I think it’s an extension of yesterday’s training. Well, I’ll still be grateful.”

“It is a training method that I wonder what utility it has. Well then, let’s check to see if it works or not.”

“Good! This time I go first!”

Cheong rushed straight in without leaving.

Since the goal is an attack that pursues softness anyway, just defending it won’t be of much help.

Cheong drew a semicircle with his arms folded tightly inward and spread outward.

Namgung Shinjae’s sword blocked the path, and at that moment, Cheong’s wrist turned slightly and the blades, not the blade, brushed against each other.

At the same time, Cheong supported the blade of his wooden sword with his left hand and pushed it forward.

“Good!”

The moment you shout, there is a gap!

Cheong’s eyes flashed and he opened his eyes.

Wolnyeogeom is herbivorous, Amyususa.

Lively, like a child dancing.

hmm? Shouldn’t it be cheerful? Must be soft-

“billion,”

At that moment, my whole body lost all strength and I couldn’t breathe. And then, before I knew it, the fine dust from the gymnasium was dusting my cheeks.

“Huh, huh, huh, huh, huh. Hey, heo.”

Cheong desperately took a breath.

If you hit the solar plexus with the tip of a wooden sword, you would have to roll on the floor, even if it had durability that transcended humanity.

“Well, Geomwoo. I think I just got caught up in the softness. It would have been better to just spread it out as is, but wouldn’t it end up being an attack that doesn’t do anything?”

“Ah. How is it getting worse? Whoa. Don’t you feel cruel in your hands? … ”

“This swordsman is dead. You’re not okay. Stop lying down and get up, Geomwoo.”

Well, it’s not like there are aftereffects from damaged bones and muscles.

Cheong grabbed Namgung Shinjae’s outstretched hand and stood up. I could breathe again, but every time I breathed, my entire body felt sore.

“Still, the first move was very good. The technique of pushing from a strong attack to a soft attack can be said to be an exquisite move that is almost life-saving.”

“Hmm. Is the training effective?”

“Well. If you try more, you will find out. Now, Geomwoo, do you have time to do this? The sword life is short, and the sun is setting even at this hour.”

I think it’s a bit strange to say that the sun sets in the morning.

Anyway, it wasn’t wrong.

So 20 wins and 20 losses.

This time it was a total loss.

However, Namgung Shinjae’s evaluation was different.

“Certainly, that strange training seems to be working. I need to get a dagger that is good at holding a sword. No, a swordsman who is walking around can’t hold a dagger, so I have to use a long sword.”

“Everyone lost?”

“That’s right, it’s also difficult for me to look at Geomwoo anymore.”

“My sword power has increased that much? Enough to compare it to Geomwoo?”

“Not really. Should I just say it’s to the point where I can’t even look at it? Since Geomwoo’s external attack is so excellent, his sword power is still low compared to his level, but it cannot be underestimated.”

“Do I really have to say I’m humble…? … ”

As Cheong grumbled, Namgung Shinjae smiled softly and made a diagnosis.

“ Trying to mix softness with herbivorous style only created a big gap, but other than that, the principles of softness were already incorporated into the swing. Since the posture is clearly different from yesterday, I can’t say that the training was effective.”

First of all, since the sound of wooden swords clashing has significantly decreased, it means that the principle of using strength to use it has become very familiar.

Afterwards, Peng Daesan arrived with Peng Choryeo, and Cheong rolled hard on the floor again.

Still, the win rate against the two has increased slightly, so I wonder if the training is definitely effective.

Then, I was heading to the bathhouse to wash off the sweat and dirt before lunch.

“Tsk tsk, it’s so ugly.”

“Ah, mister. Are you here again?”

Yesterday, Cheonyuhak was in the same spot, so this time he even laid out a mat and looked like he was lying down in the shade.

“How was the training? Isn’t it hard?”

“Oh, don’t say anything. It took me three hours to eat.”

Cheong complained in disgust.

Then Cheon Yu-hak let out a heartless laugh.

“The work your fingers do is inherently delicate. Aren’t there five fingers on each hand? Would it be easy or difficult to replace it with just a sharp blade?”

“It must be difficult… … ”

“Looking at the horse clothes, it seems like it was prepared because it seemed easier than cotton cloth. Seeing that the hem of the clothes was still intact, I guess I finally gave up? Hehehe, then I’ll tell you how to add a little more trick-”

“No. It was worn with a sword.”

“Sseu-eup. This is not lying to adults.”

“It’s not a lie.”

“Hmm? really? Can you swear by your teacher?”

“Yes. I threw away about five pairs, but I somehow managed to put them on.”

“… … .”

Cheon Yu-hak forgot what to say for a moment.

This is not the method originally taught to achieve success.

From the beginning, wasn’t he given a celadon sword, a precious item renowned for its sharp dexterity?

Of course, with the same training in Cheonyuhak, one could do all kinds of things with a celadon sword.

However, when Cheon Yu-hak was learning from his teacher, he started with a carving knife that had almost no blade and was as big as a finger, so it would be embarrassing to call it a dagger.

After I got used to it, I gradually sharpened the blade and increased the length.

Even celadon swords are usually sharp.

When Cheon Yu-Hak was training, he had not yet been able to steal, so the level of difficulty was higher than the highest level he had trained at.
