episode_0307

With each other’s emotions heightened in different directions and forms.

Beep!

The sound announcing the start of the match rings loudly.

Shin Yu-jeong, who had come this far by rushing in at the start and pressuring the opponent to win, turned to first observing the opponent’s movements while setting up a shield for the first time.

‘Because I’m not a clumsy opponent.’

The opponent is none other than Son Seo-yeon.

This becomes clear when you watch her as part of the same team.

Her talent and skills are clearly one level above the rest of the team.

‘Of course, not as much as our Dojin.’

She is sure.

If it weren’t for the irregular named Kim Do-jin, she would have remained as the greatest talent of all time at Korean universities.

I am extremely angry, but I cannot guarantee victory.

No, in fact, it should be said that the probability infinitely converges to 0.

So are you going to give up?

‘you’re welcome.’

Just change what you want.

Even if you lose, don’t lose helplessly.

Even if you fall down, give yourself at least one solid hit before you fall down.

‘good.’

I put more strength into my right hand holding the shield and calmly organize my thoughts.

‘At first, I was told to exchange light attacks in a calm state.’

Kim Do-jin moves forward, repeating the words he always said while teaching himself.

Son Seo-yeon walks out just in time, as if responding to me.

The two people met in the center of the vast sparring hall and swung their swords without any hesitation.

Kaaaang!

Sparks fly from an unedged steel sword for sparring.

Dojin Kim said:

‘I told you to observe your opponent carefully.’

Lightly exchange offense and defense and carefully observe the other person’s hand gestures, foot gestures, and facial expressions.

There is the opponent’s next move, and several moves behind it.

Shin Yu-jeong was checking the opponent’s reaction while stabbing here and there with a sword that did not apply much force.

‘… ‘What on earth are you looking at?’

I frowned slightly.

The facial expression is expressionless, and the hand and foot gestures are so small that there is nothing to tell, so what do you see?

However, Kim Do-jin expected even this and left the following words.

-Don’t get angry just because you can’t see it, but keep looking.

She wasn’t even sure if anything would change, but she kept looking.

Because that’s what Kim Do-jin said.

You might not have known it before, but now he has the ability and trust that you can’t help but trust.

Shin Yu-jeong believes in him and calmly continues his attack.

But that time did not last very long.

Shuak!

This is because Son Seo-yeon, who had calmly accepted my attacks, began to speed up.

“Tch… !”

The trajectory drawn in the air gradually increases.

My eyes are dizzy as I try to trace those lines one by one.

What did the kid say this time?

‘No matter how flashy it is, there is only one line that reaches me directly!’

Of course, it is very difficult to find that line.

Kaang!

‘found… !’

She eventually succeeded in finding and stopping it.

An eyebrow that naturally frowns at the shock flowing through the shield.

‘How much strength did you gain with that slender body?’

I am amazed.

From then on, moments of choice continued.

An endless trajectory.

Among them, only the real ones are selected and destroyed, and destroyed again.

Kaaaang!

Kaang!

The more she did, the more her posture became unified.

Strong defense.

To put it another way, it means that you are being beaten without even finding an opportunity to attack.

If it’s a dungeon raid, other dealers will sort it out in the meantime, but right now it’s a tournament.

Both attack and defense must be handled by yourself.

‘shit… , When should I extend my sword?’

That’s why I became impatient.

I can’t even figure out when, in what direction, and how to stab the sword.

“Tsk… !”

A moan escaping from a pursed mouth.

The amount of shock flowing through the shield has accumulated, and now my hands and wrists are sore and throbbing.

Right then.

Exciting!

Her character woke up late and started to start.

The name of the characteristic given to Shin Yu-jeong when she was reborn as an awakened person is ‘endless vitality.’

It has the ability to increase recovery in proportion to the pain, shock, and wounds accumulated in the body.

An ability of that nature was finally awakened by the shock accumulated in the hands and wrists.

“Whoa… !”

Even breathing that was short for a while gradually decreases.

When the depth of my heaving heart became shallow.

“urg… !”

Gritting her teeth, Shin Yu-jeong pushes up her shield with all her might before the sword even touches her.

Teuong!

An impact sound that was noticeably different from before.

At the same time, Son Seo-yeon’s sword is pushed out and floats in the air.

The eyes are gradually growing bigger due to the incredible resilience.

‘What happened… ?’

she saw

A bluish magical power surrounds her shield.

It is one of the skills known to be a must for any tanker.

‘Bash… !’

Bash.

A technique to attack the opponent by adding magical power to the shield to further increase its strength.

The resulting rebound force pushed her sword away.

‘amazing.’

She was impressed.

Bash is an essential skill for tanks, but learning it is more difficult than you might think.

You have to divide the magic power evenly and put it on the shield, and you have to learn the timing in order to attack the weapon and bounce it away, rather than hitting the opponent.

‘I heard that you have to be a B-class hunter to be able to handle it freely… .’

It’s something you can learn, as long as you have a certain level of talent, it’s possible.

However, adding magic that is so clear to the eye is another matter and using it in the right place is another matter.

“Ugh!”

Shin Yu-jeong rushes in.

Currently, Son Seo-yeon’s sword and arm bounce off at the same time, and her guard becomes loose.

If you miss this timing, you won’t have anything to say even if you hear double insults from Kim Do-jin!

Shin Yu-jeong, who had dug in before his disheveled posture returned, drew his sword.

Fasth!

She was sure.

‘This works!’

Even she wouldn’t be able to do anything about this move.

I definitely thought so.

[Tournament ends.]

why.

[The winner is aspiring student Seo-yeon Son.]

Did her sword, which bounced off, reach my neck?

“… … .”

It wasn’t something I couldn’t see with my own eyes.

I even read the entire trajectory of the sword heading towards my neck.

Even though I tried to stop it by raising my shield, I couldn’t stop it.

‘The sword… , the sword came in bent.’

It was literally like that.

The sword, which started from afar, rushed in a straight line, but soon changed its course in front of her shield and reached her neck, rendering even the last line of defense she raised useless.

‘Fuck… .’

Shin Yu-jeong, whose hands holding the sword and shield hang limply.

‘It’s so fucking strong.’

I feel resentful.

But again, I don’t feel bad.

I wanted to give him a punch, but it’s a shame I couldn’t, but what can I do?

I have no choice but to promise what happens next.

Shin Yu-jeong smiled bitterly and held out his hand towards her.

“It was a good match.”

Son Seo-yeon looked at the hand outstretched to me, then stretched out her hand in the same way, grabbed it, and answered with a pleasant smile.

“You were amazing too.”

“I couldn’t even land a single blow, but it’s amazing.”

“Oh, no. That’s not what I mean… .”

Son Seo-yeon quickly becomes embarrassed when she glares at him with a straight face.

Shin Yu-jeong, who saw that, smiled and comforted her.

“I’m just kidding, I’m kidding.”

“Oh, yes… , joke.”

She is visibly relieved.

To brighten the mood, Shin Yu-jeong asked again.

“What is the sword you showed me last time? And Son Si-woo Hunter’s swordsmanship?”

“huh… , that’s right.”

“It was really curved… “What is the name of the sword technique?”

“Well, that is.”

Son Seo-yeon suddenly turns red and begins to stutter.

I just asked for the name of the sword technique, so why are you doing that?

While she was wondering.

“Ship, snake catching swordsmanship… .”

“ah.”

It’s just embarrassing.

Shin Yu-jeong understood immediately.

* * *

A somewhat one-sided fight.

But the last one was different.

Cheers erupted when Yujeong used the bash that had been hidden until now to create the perfect opening.

“Hey! Bash over there?!”

“I’m tired of timing!”

When Son Seo-yeon used my father’s sword skills and countered it perfectly, winning.

“… … .”

“… … .”

No one could open their mouths.

Because it was that amazing and bold.

As everyone closed their mouths and swallowed their saliva, only one female scouter said this.

“… “I want to have Son Si-woo’s genes.”

Even though he said it as if he was jealous of something, it was secretly strange and disgusting.

I thought about giving some away if it was pretty.

“ah.”

I thought it wouldn’t work.

It’s not my taste.

Anyway, let’s move on from this.

“… “It’s pretty good.”

He said he learned my sword skills by stealing them over his shoulder, but I never thought he would have even learned snake-catching sword skills.

“That is very difficult.”

Above all, it is a swordsmanship that requires a lot of wrist strength.

You have to change the path of the sword several times while it is moving.

I still haven’t solved my homework, but this time it’s worth praising.

Among the many swordsmanship over there, I was reminded of the snake-catching swordsmanship.

He also boldly cut off his opponent’s momentum by attacking instead of defending and achieved victory.

“… “I was a little chilled, though.”

Of course, the process was scary.

If that were a real fight, you would have countered the sword coming at you without blocking it.

Who does that young guy resemble to take such drastic measures?

“You definitely take after my mother.”

It has to be that way.

After the tournament and all exams are over, it is time to announce the successful candidates.

The results came out as expected.

1. Seoyeon Son (Grade B)

Seoyeon was the only one who passed with a B grade, and the rest all passed with a C grade, although they were all top tier.

Naeun and Elena too.

First of all, I was happy that I passed with high grades, but there was only one person.

“hey… , raise your eyebrows.”

“Oh, I don’t know.”

Only Shin Yu-jeong was grinning with his arms crossed.

what… , isn’t the reason obvious?

“I’m in second place… , Seeing, why am I ranked C?”

I passed in second place, but was assigned to grade C.

It may be disappointing considering the rankings, but in fact, this was a cold-hearted evaluation.

Even though Yujeong is a bit stronger than her peers, it’s still too much for her to be B-class.

Perhaps, if I had been the examiner, I would have made the same result.

Of course, you shouldn’t say something like this.

“Hey, it’s okay. If you’re in second place and you’re in C grade, you’re saying you’re C grade, almost like B grade? Then, if you clear some dungeons and accumulate points, you can quickly get promoted.”

What should I do?

Rather than hitting them with facts, you should comfort them.

This guy found some comfort in my words.

Then he looks up at me and asks.

“In the end, it was Seoyeon senior who made the wish.”

“Okay… “I guess?”

Because it was a promise to grant the wish of the person with the best grades.

“Whoa… .”

The guy lets out a deep sigh and shakes his head.

I don’t know what I’m so worried about.

In the first place, Seoyeon’s wish was amazing.

Seoyeon happened to be next to me, so I asked her right away.

“Seoyeon, how are you going to write your wish?”

“ah… , wish.”

Seoyeon immediately opens her mouth, as if she has something in mind.

“Then uh… , do you want to go to the amusement park with me… ?”

… uh?
