Chapter Index

    Sarah rushed over as soon as Ho Cheon-an and Yeo Il-ye’s performance was somewhat over.

    “Hocheonan magician! Let’s play together!”

    “Uhm, now I have a magic trick to show you…”

    Ho Cheon-an scratched his head in embarrassment. Simple magic can be shown with a coin in one’s pocket, but it has been a long time since I showed Sarah a simple magic trick.

    “Oh my! That’s not it…just follow me. Got it?”

    “Yeah, yeah.”

    Sara tugged on Ho Cheon-an’s sleeve, and Ho Cheon-an had no choice but to helplessly follow Sara’s hug.

    “Now! Then, let’s go visit Podalap Palace with my black cat sister!”

    “No…”

    “Go!”

    Sarah ran, dragging the black cat and Ho Cheon-an. It was an embarrassing thing for Ho Cheon-an, but it was something Black Cat was used to.

    “Senior, just go.”

    “Yes. I got it.”

    Podalap Palace was an unknown space not only for outsiders Heukmyo and Hocheonan, but also for Sarah. Podalap Palace was a spacious castle spread out on top of a mountain, so Sarah, who lived only in her room, still had many spaces she had not been able to visit.

    Sarah led the two, looking around with inquisitive eyes.

    Ho Cheon-an looked around and caught his eye on the flowing hair of a black cat. I could see hair with black ends in white hair, like gray hair hiding in black hair.

    “It looks like he is recovering little by little.”

    “Yes. I told you not to worry, right? Because I can control it well.”

    “Yes, but it was the first time I had seen these symptoms…”

    “Even if I completely control the oral pronunciation, I think my hair color will change if I raise the oral propulsion.”

    “Um.”

    Ho Cheon-an, who was conscious of Sarah, nodded as if nothing had happened, but inside he was still a little worried.

    Every time you raise your energy, your hair color changes. It was a very noticeable feature. It was not a very good feature for the black cat, which had nothing good to do with attracting people’s attention until it became a flower garden and was able to completely capture the Taeeumgi.

    “Hehe, I have a senior. What are you worried about? Treat the syllable veins and add to that…”

    The black cat thought that there was a lot to say in the end of the sentence. What talents has Ho Cheon-an shown since we met at the Rongin Gaekjan?

    No matter what happens, Hocheonan will surely solve it.

    Thinking like that, the black cat chuckled.

    and.

    Sarah looked at the black cat.

    ‘She looks like her mother.’

    Sarah thought so as she looked at the black cat’s eyes and expression. Sometimes, when my mother, Chai Rang, looked at Rano Jingbu, she had that kind of look in her eyes.

    Sarah recalled the conversation with Sibi with her excellent oral syllable memory. Chairang said that the reason he looks at Ranojingbu with such eyes is because Chairang loves Ranojingbu.

    “Even if you expect so much…how can you do something you don’t know…”

    “Hehe. Even though he does that, he is always the first to step forward when something happens.”

    “No, that’s…”

    Sarah continued to look at the happy-looking black cat’s face.

    *** ***

    “I’m sorry, Sara…”

    Sara looked at Lano Jinbu, who had broken his promise to practice martial arts in the morning.

    Sara nodded as she looked at Rano Jinbu’s face, unable to tell if he was crying because he felt sorry for Sara or if he was just crying because he couldn’t spend time with Sara.

    Sarah’s behavior was innocent and innocent, but she was not like a child. No, in the eyes of a child there was an understanding developed due to the oral syllable vein.

    ‘Because Magician Hocheonan saved me… my father must be busy because of that.’

    “It’s okay! Come back!”

    “Wow, when did I grow up so much… Dad is so happy.”

    Her father’s tear ducts were so weak these days that she was tired. Hiding with a smile, she waved to her father who was leaving for work at Gungjujeon. Sara quickly ran to the lodgings that Ho Cheon-an and his group were using.

    “Oh Sarah. Came…”

    “Shhh!”

    Sara pays attention to Corn, which greets her warmly. Sarah, who lowered herself like a stray cat, said to Corn.

    “It’s a secret that I’m here now. Got it?”

    “Uh, okay…”

    Corn nodded with a puzzled expression as he saw Sarah doing something she had never done before. Corn was about to say something, but shook his head as he watched Sarah creeping into the training ground, walking tiptoeingly with her heels raised.

    Sasak!

    ‘That was great stealth!’

    Sarah gave her stealth skills a perfect score of 10 and cleared the bushes to gain visibility.

    In the training hall, Yeo Il-ye and Ho Cheon-an were dancing continuously.

    Wow!!

    As the swords collided, red sword energy and blue sword energy scattered in the air. It was a battle of sutras that would not be visible to those without Qi, but Sarah, who had suffered from oral prostration for a long time, was sensitive to Qi. Usually, martial artists learn the secret of cold and cultivate energy by accumulating energy through the Tonap technique, but Sarah was born with the secret of cold.

    ‘Yeo Il-ye is great too.’

    The sword energy of Hocheonan, which collided with Yeo Il-ye’s sword, lost its momentum like a candle caught in a strong wind. Yeo Il-ye calmly swings her sword while looking at the Hocheonan that draws strength and all the changes in the Hocheonan.

    “The battle of sword skills is also important, but your attention is focused too much on that.”

    Kagagak!!

    Yeo Il-ye’s wrist, which was attacking, was slightly bent. Instead of the blade colliding with the blade, the sword surface collided with the blade, and Yeo Il-ye’s sword surface, which gently absorbed the repulsion force, rode on Hocheonan’s blade and came down to the top of the sword’s nose in an instant.

    “Hmm…!”

    Ho Cheon-an let out a groan. My hands may have been protected by the back of my nose, but if the attack had come, I could not have avoided getting cut on my upper arm.

    “It is not a big deal if a blow like this is allowed in a top-tier match. Since it was an attack that did not allow strength or weight to be applied, even if the arm was cut, it would only be a minor wound or a scratch. Well, seeing the blood itself can be said to be a very cheap price to pay for the damage and being defenseless against the opponent’s moves.”

    Ho Cheon-an nodded. If you miss the opponent’s technique, it usually leads to fatal injuries, so you can say that you saved the day with only minor injuries. However, Hocheonan was now at its peak.

    “But in a climactic battle, even small wounds can have big consequences.”

    “…Yes.”

    Ho Cheon-an, who had already been attacked by Yeo Il-ye and Black Cat several times, had no choice but to admit it. Since it is a friendly dance, it is at the level of loss of strength. In actual combat, if the climax or transcendental sensation penetrates the body, it will immediately lead to internal injuries. Even if it is a small wound, if an attack is allowed, it can result in serious internal injuries.

    “In a first-class competition, the one who takes the big thing wins even if he throws away the little thing. However, in a battle between those who are fully capable of handling sutra, the one who does not give up even the smallest thing wins.”

    Yeo Il-ye returned her sword to its sheath and continued speaking.

    “Eungong stayed in Iryu for a long time and built a solid foundation, and since then, great brothers and Zen masters have refined the foundation of Eungong, so the foundation is rather solid. But now you know, right? It means that you see as much as you know.”

    “That’s right.”

    “All things in the world remain the same from the moment they were born, but they continue to discover new aspects depending on a person’s perspective and depth of knowledge, so the basics are also like this. No matter how much you sweat and hone it, doing it without knowing is different from doing it without knowing. Now that you have the minimum competency to handle the sword technique of Eungongdo, from today, we will renew the basics that have gone astray.”

    “Um, please.”

    As expected, it’s cool.

    Sarah’s eyes lit up as she watched Yeo Il-ye teaching Ho Cheon-an while preaching her martial arts without hesitation. The highest festival at Podalap Palace is the funeral, but Sarah briefly imagined herself as a female swordsman.

    This isn’t bad either.

    “Leg a little more this way…”

    “Like this?”

    “No. The center of the body is not stable.”

    Yeo Il-ye personally corrected Ho Cheon-an’s posture. Sarah blinked. Is posture something static? To explain organic movement, Yeo Il-ye stayed by Ho Cheon-an’s side and guided his limbs.

    “This is it.”

    “Good. You understand quickly.”

    “It’s all thanks to Sojeo’s teachings.”

    “Hehe, thank you for seeing it that way.”

    Sarah blinked and watched the two people fuming.

    *** ***

    Sasak!

    Sarah found a gap in the wall of the blacksmith shop and peered into it through it.

    Inside the blacksmith shop, Tang So-yeol and Ho Cheon-an were present.

    “Today, we will lay the foundation for building a bido.”

    “Yes.”

    “The beads you will make will not be sold anyway, so there is no need for any decorations or handles. I will aim to make something that can only be made by pounding iron.”

    “I understand. Practical things are the best.”

    “First of all, the thing that is different from the sword is basically the center. The closer you place your center of gravity to the black handle, the easier it will be to handle. In martial arts, more than 90 out of 100 narrow-pointed swords are used because their tips are thin and narrow…”

    Tang Xiaoyeol drew various pictures while explaining the difference between a sword and a secret sword. Hu Tian-an stood next to Tang Xiao-yeol and looked at the picture with an explanation.

    “So, when viewed from above, it is ideal for the bido to have an inverted triangular structure with a thick sword body and a thin handle. This is also the reason why wood as light as possible is used when wrapping the handle.”

    “Oh, indeed.”

    “Today, I will design your private secret road. Whether you choose to make your own or buy it from the market, it is better to be completely familiar with the specifications of the memorization device you will use. So, let’s write a blueprint today.”

    “Okay.”

    I drew various monuments on the drawing where Hocheonan was spread out. I expressed on paper the things that I felt were disappointing while listening, seeing, or using it on a daily basis.

    “You’re amazing at magic, but you’re also amazingly bad at drawing.”

    “Oh, I’m sorry.”

    It was “. Was this part intended to be drawn like this?”

    “Mmm. No, this is a curve that you can put your finger on like this…”

    “You don’t even think about learning cancer skills properly and are doing strange things.”

    “Aren’t tools meant to be easy for people to use?”

    “Noisy.”

    Ho Cheon-an and Tang So-yeol argued fiercely over the blueprint. Sarah blinked and took in the scene of them standing shoulder to shoulder and fighting over a brush, then quietly backed away.

    Sweet!

    Sarah accidentally steps on a stone on her way back. Sarah was shocked and stiffened, shrugging her shoulders.

    “No, I mean…!”

    “If this happens, it will be an engineering loss…!”

    The two people were just arguing as if they hadn’t heard anything at all. Sarah breathed a sigh of relief as she walked away from the forge.

    “This is not the time.”

    Around the time Sarah ran towards somewhere with her eyes shining. The battle between Ho Cheon-an and the Tang So-yeol, who were fighting over the design of the secret island, ended with a decision loss for Ho Cheon-an, who gave in to the threat of Gombangdae.

    “Young disciple. Don’t be greedy and do it step by step. Is it true that being a martial artist means doing whatever you want? The design is also the same.”

    “Ehyo, I understand.”

    “So.”

    Tang So-yeol lit the fire bowl and asked.

    “Sarah, what kind of wind is blowing and chasing you around?”

    “I don’t know either. Isn’t that just what you want to do?”

    “Well, it’s no wonder that children like to play hide and seek.”

    Although Sarah’s martial arts skills were outstanding, the current Sarah was just a child who had only moved her body for a few days after growing rapidly. Sarah would have thought that she had secretly sneaked into the training hall and blacksmith shop… but even Corn, a first-class person, had read Sarah’s presence and greeted her.

    Except for Corn, Hocheonan is a true expert who can handle sword energy even at the lowest level among Hocheonan’s group. Everyone has sensed the presence of Sarah, who is working hard to kill everyone, so they are pretending not to know even though they know because they want to do something.

    Tang Xiaoyeol exhaled cigarette smoke and said.

    “It’s a shame. If I had known it would grow like that all at once, I would have massaged my cheeks a little more…”

    “Yes?”

    “No. Slowly, pull out the rain pipe according to the blueprint.”

    Around the time when Ho Cheon-an was putting lumps in the furnace. Sarah was running to the black cat. The black cat, who was taking a break and sipping tea after finishing the performance, saw Sara running towards her and raised her hand while drinking tea.

    “Sister! sister! This is not the time to be like this!”

    The black cat looked at Sara, who was stomping her feet, with bewildered eyes. What happened to Podalap Palace?

    Sarah looked at the black cat’s puzzled expression and remembered today’s events.

    He was caught by Corn, but he silenced him, so the result of Ho Cheon-an’s pursuit, which was not discovered by anyone, was truly shocking!

    During swordsmanship training, how many meaningful contacts have occurred with Yeo Il-ye, exchanging profound glances with each other!

    During the blacksmithing class with Tang So-yeol, don’t they put their arms around each other’s shoulders and enjoy each other’s hands without hesitation?

    On the other hand, what about black cats?

    Unlike Yeo Il-ye and Tang So-yeol, who spend their days together, they don’t see each other every day and have no special physical contact!

    Sarah thought as she watched the black cat drinking tea while looking at her. The other sisters are good too, but I like the black cat the best! The other sisters are making excuses for each other, so I have to help her too!

    Sarah, who had made up her mind like that, clenched her fists and shouted.

    “If this goes on, the other sisters will steal away your favorite Hocheonan magician!”

    The black cat spat out the tea it was drinking.
