The place where Amelia would be taught martial arts was decided to be Rahee’s house.

According to the agreement signed with the U.S., it would have been correct to go to the U.S. military base located in Pyeongtaek, but since the agreement had only recently been signed, preparations there had not yet been completed, so that was the end result.

According to what I heard from the US, a new building is being built in a hurry on the base.

Anyway… As it happened, Amelia, who had suddenly been selected as a test case just because she knew me, visited Rahee’s house.

“Well… this isn’t a big deal… but it was a bit difficult to come empty-handed, so I bought it.”

Is it because I found out through previous negotiations that Rahee occupies a fairly important position?

A set of refreshments, which at first glance seemed to be extremely expensive, was given as a gift and I showed up.

“Why all this… Ah, please come in.”

“Then, please excuse me.”

And as soon as she entered the house, Amelia could not even step on the living room threshold and ended up heading to Rahee’s personal training room, which we usually use for training.

It was not a result that reflected the wishes of me or Amelia.

Rather, it is a result that reflects Rahee’s intentions.

Although they concluded the story by saying they would go together with the Americans, they seemed to have decided that there was no need to show them the inside of the house.

Thanks to this, I was able to teach Amelia martial arts right away without unnecessary schedule delays.

This may not have been something Amelia had hoped for, but she quickly changed into comfortable clothes and stood in front of me with an energetic expression.

I feel really sorry for Amelia, who was ready(?) to be treated that way…

“First of all… would you please take a look at this?”

What Amelia was going to do today was not physical work.

“Yes? Why is my cell phone suddenly…?”

“Don’t ask why, just take a look.”

Could it be that I couldn’t get over my continued obsession?

Amelia, who was looking at me with a puzzled expression, turned her gaze towards the cell phone in my hand.

And how long has it been since then?

Amelia’s eyes, which were staring at her phone, were almost blank.

‘also···.’

Of course it has to be that way.

That’s right, on the phone screen I held out to Amelia was a hypnosis app.

“Ah…”

No, it was because there was a Word file that I had written after typing frantically on the keyboard all night.

The word file, which must have been full of tiny letters, was actually an illegal translation of the Samjaesimbeop, which can be said to be the most basic of basic skills, into Korean.

You taught Rahee and Ari things that are very valuable as martial arts, but why are you teaching Amelia the Three Trials method, which can be said to be a street in and of itself?

Well… of course it has to be that way.

It was obvious that the moment he taught Amelia something, it would end up in America’s ears, so would he be crazy and immediately bring up an advanced psychological technique?

‘I’ve thought about maintaining security by hypnotizing Amelia, but…’

After much consideration, I declined.

That’s because even considering cancer alone, the risk was too great.

What if Amelia was an individual?

Without hesitation, I would have taken the hypnosis beam first.

First, you must have thought about the hypnosis beam first.

However, Amelia was not an individual but a member of a large group called the United States, so from my perspective, I could not help but be worried that Amelia’s colleagues would find out that I had hypnotized her.

‘It won’t matter as long as you don’t get caught…’

What if you get caught?

So… what if America finds out that I can influence other people’s minds?

At that moment, America will try to erase me from this world, using every means at its disposal.

To be honest, this is bound to happen. If we make a mistake, a huge country called the United States could fall into the hands of an individual. Would you be so crazy that you would just ignore that possibility?

Rather than taking such a risk, it seemed better to pick and teach something that didn’t matter if it fell to the Americans, and Rahee and Ari also agreed with my idea, so it was naturally decided that the martial arts that Amelia would learn would be basic arts.

One of them was the Three Trials Act, which I am currently displaying on my phone screen.

In the world of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, martial arts are so common that you can find them just by going to a local bookstore.

Therefore, it was the Samjaesimbeop that martial artists rolling around on the streets were treated as lower than third-rate martial arts, but this was only an illusion of ‘ordinary people’ who did not know much about martial arts. Jo In, who reached the level of an expert at a young age, had a different opinion.

Jo In said that no matter what kind of new skill exists in the world, there will be no martial art that can beat the Three Trials in terms of stability.

Nevertheless, it is said that the reason why the Samjaesimbeop is treated as inferior to the third class is because the speed at which it accumulates strength is incredibly slow.

It is said that even if you practice only the Samjaesimbeop for 60 years, the amount of internal energy accumulated in your body will last less than 10 years… From the point of view of the martial arts people who seek out all kinds of things because they want to get stronger quickly, they will naturally look like garbage.

‘It’s not for nothing that traditional clans or families say that children are not taught the Samjaesimbeop at a young age.’

Of course, speaking of Amelia, who is going to learn this from now on, it’s hard to say she’s young… but what’s important to them isn’t that, it’s ‘proving’ my abilities.

In the meantime, I guess I’m thinking that if I could just get my hands on information about what I have, I wouldn’t want anything more.

With that thought in mind, I frowned slightly, perhaps to focus, and asked Amelia, who was looking closely at the cell phone in my hand with an expression as if she was saying, ‘What on earth is this?’

“How do you feel? Can you read it?”

“Reading itself doesn’t seem that difficult…”

Maybe it was Japanese, which somehow got engraved in my brain, but honestly, I wasn’t very confident in English, so I wrote it in Korean in a hurry.

After writing it, I was very worried about whether Amelia would be able to read it, but fortunately, she was more fluent in Korean than I thought.

Amelia expressed her affirmation to my words with a slightly shocked expression.

I can read this…

“Do you use an apple phone?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“Then, I will send this to your phone via airdrop, so memorize it.”

“Yes? Memorize it…?”

“I roughly counted it and it’s about 30 sheets of A4 paper, right? Can you memorize it?”

“Yes…?”

“Please note that you must memorize everything from beginning to end.”

Anticipating that I would be going through rough times, I deliberately brought clothes that were easy to move around in, but maybe that was because I ended up doing the work with my brain instead of with my body.

Amelia’s expression was filled with despair, but looking at me like that didn’t change anything.

“Is this… something that should be done in the first place…?”

Unlike in Korea, where cramming education is a daily routine, the word cramming education itself is unfamiliar. As a person from the United States, was it impossible to meekly(?) accept this situation?

Amelia asked in a very cautious voice.

The person who answered Amelia’s question instead of me was none other than Rahee, who was sitting with her.

“Then, are you afraid that I made this up on purpose with the intention of harassing you?”

“No, that’s not what I meant…”

“If you need anything like coffee, let me know. Because I can do that much.”

Was I just impressed by Rahee’s declaration of unlimited coffee refill service?

Amelia’s expression darkened.

‘Not three, but thirty…’

Will I be able to memorize all of this?

It felt like my eyes were going dark due to the never-ending feast of Word files, no matter how many times I flipped through them, but I couldn’t help but say that.

That’s why I swallowed a sigh that was rising inside me again and fixed my eyes on the phone screen.

And as I scanned the screen filled with tiny letters, I naturally came to this realization.

That there is no power in this world that is obtained for free.

Anyway… why is it full of such useless words…?

Anyone who reads it will probably think that I’ve just roughly listed words that seem familiar.

‘No, even if that’s the case…’

I never thought I would tell you this so obediently.

To be honest, I was a bit surprised.

So I started thinking that maybe it was a trick or something.

It was like that when I first encountered it…

“Did you memorize everything?”

“Yes.”

“Then, from now on, just keep repeating what you have memorized in your head and follow my instructions.”

“Okay.”

“Now, first of all—”

It must have been at the moment when I was repeating the words that started flowing from the man’s mouth.

Wiggle!

···uh?

Something just happened in the boat…?
