Chapter 24 – Chapter 5. Teacher and Maid.
… The week went by like lightning.
– The soup is salty!
– What if you dig it like that? The roots are messed up!
– If you’re going to wash the dishes, do it right!
– You have to clean thoroughly!
Azel ended up doing what Jihyeok had told her to do because her outfit was about to burst. She intended to pamper this human bastard, but in the end she only added more to her work.
It was an incident in which an outsider suddenly entered the peaceful life. It was a natural result that the living environment completely changed.
It wasn’t just a matter of adding another bowl, fork, or spoon. Besides, he was a guy with cocks and balls. She couldn’t help but pay attention to her clothes and behavior.
Now I couldn’t come out of the living room with disheveled clothes, I couldn’t go to the lake to take a bath naked in the cabin, and I had to pay attention to emptying the toilet. All sorts of menstrual phenomena!
Even considering this alone, it was not enough to expel her right away, but because of one thing, she had no choice but to suffocate all of this.
This guy is really crazy.
His talent is truly beyond imagination.
Eisel has seen and nurtured countless talented people, but she has never seen her overwhelming talent. Even it far exceeded her talent. It was to the point where I wondered if it was really that insignificant human race.
She looked at him and was sure.
This guy will one day stand tall on the top of the continent.
But even though he was thinking that on the inside, he didn’t show it at all on the outside. I wonder if he’ll be conceited.
How many people were sadly unable to bloom because of such pride! If you include those who have halfway bloomed, the number will be at least three digits.
Because of that one anticipation, she even suppressed her damn personality.
“Kang Ji-hyeok, come and eat!”
Jihyeok, who was in the room, sneaked out. The Fairy couldn’t get enough of it without saying a word. In fact, I endured so much.
“Hey, Master is, uh, preparing meals, uh, you come out and grab some dishes, uh, put some spoons, uh-!”
“Ah, sorry, Master. I’m meditating deeply. I got a little preoccupied with it. I’ll come out and take care of it next time.”
Having said that again, Azel wondered if she had said something useless again.
However, there is an authoritative teacher elsewhere, so I couldn’t speak weakly here.
“Just… I mean sometimes yes sometimes. I’m not asking you to do that every day. … Well, on a day like today, yes, you can. Anyway… , You know what I mean?”
“Yes, Master.”
This year won’t last
Of course, Jihyeok did not forget his role as a polite disciple. Still, by doing this, she must be holding back her own personality.
After finishing the meal, the two headed to the clearing. When I left the cabin, the cool air hit my body. He filled his lungs with clean air.
They walked along the trail and arrived at the clearing. The fairy has now changed from a housekeeper to a swordsman master.
Her eyes sharpened like blades. At the same time, the surrounding air changed dramatically. … It was definitely a strong transformation.
“Try.”
While staring at Jihyeok with her hands behind her back, she threw out just that one word. He picked up his sword and started swinging it around. These are the basics I learned over the past week.
It was absolutely flawless in every detail. She admired inwardly. … To be honest, teaching was almost pointless.
However, practice and practice are different. Still, she thought her experience overwhelmingly outweighed her pupils. In this state, if she only allowed him to accumulate rich practical experience, she would be born with a really great monster—-.
It will be the greatest masterpiece of my life.
To be honest, it would be only at the level of coloring, but that didn’t mean the process was absolutely insignificant. Of course, sketches are important, but coloring is just as important.
“Very well done.”
It wouldn’t be strange if the admiration poured out in one bowl, but she restrained the praise as much as possible. … In fact, Jihyeok was the first among her students whom she taught to be praised for doing very well. That much she was stingy with her praise.
“Then, shall we move on to the next step today?”
Originally, the basic skills practice that would have taken a month or two ended in just a week. … In fact, it’s hard to even call it a week. Because from day one he was already complete.
It was also because of his pride that he had been dragging it for a week. She kept looking out for it. I couldn’t ruin this amazing talent for nothing.
“Okay, next step.”
The next thing was to connect this basic skill smoothly. To compare it to music, it is making a melody by connecting several notes. Because that’s the only way the song can be completed.
“Look at me.”
Whoa-. Azel was pretty nervous. It was all the more so because she was in front of a great genius disciple. She was extremely focused on achieving the most perfect success.
The fairy closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them. And he started swinging his sword.
Being a fairy by birth, she is also good at archery, but strangely, she liked the sword better than the bow. Cutting something gave me a different sense than just shooting an arrow. … She loved the feeling of that raw life in her palms.
Jihyeok focused on Agel’s swordsmanship. It was definitely a skill worth recognizing. There was great depth to her swordsmanship. It wasn’t just for killing enemies. There was something bigger.
That encompasses everything.
Her swordsmanship resembles nature. It was a slightly different swordsmanship than the slightly eccentric tendency.
She frenziedly swung her sword, but soon stopped moving. And she finished with a long exhalation.
“… How was it?”
“It was a really great move.”
Jihyeok’s sincere admiration caused a slight smile to form on Azel’s lips. She honestly felt good. Who doesn’t like hearing compliments? It was especially nice to hear from such a great genius.
“You can do it too. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
“Yes, I will try my best.”
It wasn’t just empty talk. Jihyeok came to learn with sincerity.
No matter how much he took the pinnacle of the continent, everything wasn’t perfect yet. He was still always learning. It was a continuous process until everything was perfect.
Ji-hyeok had seen Agel’s swordsmanship a lot in the last episode, but strangely, this time he felt it differently. Maybe it was after he fought a bloody battle with the Great Demon King, but he didn’t feel familiar with what he was used to. He was right to say that it opened his eyes to new things.
All things look different depending on the viewing angle.
Jihyeok felt that he needed such an attitude in order to grow one step further. He is looking at everything he has done so far again. So even the basics didn’t get tired and felt new.
In fact, he first came to see Eisel because of the letter of recommendation, but now his attitude has completely changed. He took learning seriously. And he still had something to learn.
Perhaps because of such changes, his narrow field of vision began to widen again. He did not judge only the advantages as advantages or the disadvantages only as disadvantages. He thought he was missing something, so he dug more persistently. He has now made it a habit to examine them two or three more times.
So, it felt as if the clogged blood had just been pierced. … There he saw the potential for further growth.
After swinging the sword for a while, Jihyeok slowly stopped moving. He looked straight into Azel’s excited eyes. She was smiling softly.
“Good job… Then keep practicing. I’m not going to go.”
“Yes, Master.”
The fairy left the clearing. He swung his sword once more and sat down right there.
He closed his eyes and fell into meditation. And he thought carefully about the sword he had wielded for a long time.
It’s a natural sword…
When Jihyeok saw Agel’s swordsmanship this time, something touched his heart. He wondered if he had been too tenacious in killing. He was too obsessed with killing enemies faster and more reliably.
Of course, there was no doubt that swordsmanship was an act with such a purpose. However, his swordsmanship was so abnormally biased towards that side. So when he meets an overwhelming enemy, he is so helplessly beaten.
A balance was needed. Of course, that’s why he didn’t have to forcibly bring up other things while killing the good points. … Complementary as a whole.
There was a natural black balance. I had to find the answer in it. Balance, balance…
It was not a frantic movement to kill, but an attack in a natural flow—-.
… That’s it. That’s right.
Of course, there are still too many hurdles left to make it a reality. It’s definitely not going to be an easy road. … But I had to do it bit by bit.
Because that is the fate given to him.
· · ·
After Eisel finished all the miscellaneous chores, Ji-hyeok appeared behind her. He entered the cabin with a hungry expression and immediately asked for food.
Fuck the kid The fairy’s planting was twisted there.
… I’m not even the housemaid!
But I couldn’t help it. His food was honestly not edible. Then, as long as she doesn’t have a maid, she has to play the role of a maid.
By the way, didn’t Ji-hyeok, who asked for food, go straight into the room?
… Look at that guy
Eisel must say something later——she said awkwardly.
“Kangjihyeoneok, come out and eat!”
– Land land land
The fairy shouted as she pounded the iron kettle with her ladle. There was a lot of mixed emotions there.
Soon Jihyeok came out of the room. He sat down in front of the table that was set.
“Thank you, I will eat well, Master.”
The fairy sat across from me for once. With a bit of a thick expression.
Of course, Jihyeok also noticed that Azel was uncomfortable. So he wrote the magic word he wanted at this time.
“Master, it seems that you have come to an epiphany.”
“… What? Enlightenment?”
His expression changed instantly. It was definitely a positive change. A disciple has attained enlightenment, but what teacher does not like? No matter how eccentric she was, it wasn’t to that extent.
“Yes, there have been some weak spots, but I realized something greatly after watching Master’s swordsmanship today.”
“Okay? Which part?”
“Master’s swordsmanship, which resembles nature, has an exquisite balance of yin and yang. This time he has learned that balance deeply.”
Heh heh, this guy.
Azel laughed heartily, completely forgetting the previous situation.
“Yes, it was.”
“Yes, Master. Master’s grace, I will engrave it deep in my heart.”
“Okay… It’s getting cold. Eat quickly. Yes, eat well, yes, work harder. Understand?”
“Yes.”
She even pushed her plate of food further towards him. With the heart of a mother looking at her child. … Of course, I haven’t noticed anything strange yet.
After the meal, they took a short break and then went on to training in the afternoon.
Afternoon training was always sparring. It was to develop Jihyeok’s practical sense.
Every time she sparred with him, she felt something like a strange feeling. It’s as if it overlaps with someone’s appearance. It’s not exactly the same, but there was a similar feeling somewhere.
After sparring, during a short break, she spoke to him.
“There are two people I recognize.”
Then, he pointed at Jihyeok with her finger.
“You are second.”
Jihyeok looked at the fairy who suddenly said that.
“Then who is the first?”
She turned her head towards her lake. And she became an eye looking into a very distant place.
“You won’t know who it is even if you hear it.”
… No, Jihyeok knew. But she had to pretend she didn’t know. Because it’s natural that she doesn’t know.
“I wonder.”
Her head turned again and she slowly turned to him.
“Every thousand.”
The very familiar name came out.
