Chapter 20 – Sword Master (3)
Food came in quickly. Perhaps because it was a traditional Korean meal, several women dressed in hanbok came out and served a table full of food.
Seasoned ribs, beef bulgogi, and crispy smoked meat were topped with braised short ribs on a neat bowl. There were 10 kinds of side dishes near me, and there were more than 10 types of meat alone.
Looking at the amount of meat, there was so much meat that it was really loud. I usually eat 2-3 servings, but I boasted the amount of meat that I thought I could eat with 2 or 3 people.
“Oh, it’s enchanted.”
Lee Ji-ah looked at her tableware and admired it a little.
“Yes, since it is served all at once, there is a concern that the food will cool down while eating other foods, so there is a preservation magic.”
I rolled my eyes tired of the waiter’s words. When I looked at it using the natural water, it was clear that preservation magic was applied to each and every bowl. If you put preservation magic on all of these tableware, you’d be broke.
The waitresses set food on the table, bowed their heads, and left.
“Shall we eat too?”
The Sword Master said while holding up his chopsticks.
“I will enjoy this food.”
We thanked the Sword Master, picked up a piece of duck meat with chopsticks, and put it into her mouth.
“Wow.”
The moment you put the duck meat in your mouth.
I don’t remember what happened after that. Because I ate the food that came out with my body shaking.
‘This is food with taste magic…?’
Is this magic with taste magic?
It was so delicious that ordinary food felt like garbage.
Spicy, salty, and sweet taste were felt in more detail. Even so, there was no smell from the meat, the beef melted as soon as you put it in your mouth, and the duck meat was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The pork went well with the seasoning, and the lamb didn’t have a strong smell.
While eating the meat, I looked around. Lee Ji-ah and Kim Ha-rin were also eating as if they were burying their faces in a bowl, and Nam Da-yoon was smiling happily at me.
“Do you want to eat this too?”
Dayoon Nam gave me a piece of marinated crab from his bowl. I nodded and accepted without hesitation.

“Under.”
I was hungry. Not usually called, but seriously full. I feel like I’m going to get caught in the middle of the day. Spreading the mana in the body into the body seemed to live a little.
I’ll probably struggle with my stomach for tonight, but I don’t regret it. Because the food was so delicious. Even if I could go back, I would have eaten all the meat.
“Siwoo.”
“Yeah?”
Dayoon Nam called me. She had a proud look on her face as she looked at me.
“Did you eat well?”
“Yes, I ate well. But, did you get a lot?”
“It’s okay. I earned quite a bit by robbing a dungeon this time.”
In response to my question, Dayoon Nam smiled and said, I hesitated at Dayoon Nam’s words. Dungeon? There must be only one dungeon nearby, the giraffe’s nest. No way…
“Look. I went into the dungeon and got it from the boss, isn’t it pretty big?”
Dayoon Nam showed me a yellow ball bigger than my fist and said. I could see high-density mana moving inside the bead while being refined. It was a magic stone. It also contained mana orbs with brain properties that a thunder lord would have.
“Did you kill the thunderbird at the dungeon entrance?”
“Uh?”
At my question, Dayoon Nam’s expression turned strange. I scratched my head at the expression on his face asking how he knew.
“Actually, the reason we’re here this week is to catch the Thunderbird.”
“What?! You got a thunderbird subjugation on a mission!?”
Da-yoon Nam was frightened and asked me. Surely this is a common reaction. Like the principal? Would you like to try it then? I do not agree to that. Lee Ji-ah and Kim Harin also believed in me to a strange extent.
“Well, actually, there’s a pretty easy way to subdue the Thunderbird.”
“…Really? Come to think of it, Siwoo said he had a perfect score, right?”
“Did you know?”
“Yeah, because it was quite famous.”
Thinking about it, I remembered the beginning of admission. Newspapers and Kukppong videos said that the first person to receive a perfect score in Hero Academy was a Korean, and they attracted all sorts of aggro. I was very disappointed. If I knew that, I would have done it in moderation.
[Lee Si-woo, a sexy brain man who shocked the world! Hero Academy’s first written perfect score?! With his performance, the whole world was surprised by Korea!!]
[Hope of Korea! New K-Hero! A shocking analysis of Siwoo Lee!]
Thinking about it again makes me dizzy. Portals were also decorated with articles with such titles for a while.
“But it’s too dangerous.”
“Still, Harin had a wide wing, so the win rate was very high.”
In fact, the method of catching thunderbirds using Harin Kim boasts a success rate of about 99%. 1% were crap or unlucky, and things went horribly wrong.
“I can’t tell Harin’s unique traits, but he’s specialized in catching thunderbirds.”
“Really? That’s why I challenged you.”
She added with a bitter smile.
“These days, the academy students are amazing. They’ve grown to the point where they’re subjugating the Thunderbird as a mission. They’ve grown beyond what I could have imagined when I was younger.”
“Ah, it’s not like that. It happened because the kids who joined this time were so good.”
“And among those outstanding kids, is Siwoo?”
At her words, I shrugged. She was giggling at my reaction.
Her words reminded me of an existence pretending to be a hero. Although the academy cadets have gathered some of the best high school students from all over the world, the Thunderbird is not something that can be captured at the cadet level.
‘Perhaps the thunderbird came up.’
Blonde hair.
She remembered a woman with a confident smile on her face.
It was said that his occupation was a hero, but he was awakened as the Heavenly Demon in the latter half of the year.
If male warriors are ‘omnipotent’, female warriors have the concept of ‘yeopo’. And among all the current students, he was the only one who could attack the instructor and beat him.
If Lee Ji-ah, Kim Ha-rin, and Eun Soo-ah, who have the characteristics of seven colors, are considered the end of human talent, then Lim Na-yeon and Han Jong-woo are right below them. And the unique characteristics of the two warriors, male and female…
‘I got it when I came here. How ridiculous are the unique characteristics of those two.’
The unique characteristics of male and female warriors were different from those listed above.
Literally ‘chosen beings’ to kill the demon lords.
A trait loved by the world, the fate of a world in which all talents and skills increase just by breathing.
It boasts the strongest among all the attributes in a person-to-person battle, has the attributes of demons, and counts all the attributes of demons, the celestial demon.
‘I don’t think I’m bowing to my own traits, but…’
A thousand masks, probably the most all-around characteristic, except for the fate of the world. Chun-soo, the king of dexterity, reads knowledge to see most of the categories classified as knowledge.
I think all of these are really nice and useful, but compared to the above, I feel a little disappointed.
Then what I need to bloom as a unique characteristic is…
“Is it Siwoo?”
I woke up from the thought of the sound calling me. Oops, what was I doing.
“Ah, sorry. I have something to think about…”
“Yeah, what is it?”
“Haha, it’s personal.”
“You don’t want to teach your sister.”
She said with a mischievous look. I shook my head at that expression and said.
“No, I was just worried about how to become stronger.”
Her eyes widened. And she said with a sad expression.
“Does Shiu use a sword too?”
“Yes. I use this and that, but I mainly use the sword.”
“Then can I look at the sword?”
“Are you my sister?”
I said in amazement. Dara Nam, who is called the sword master, taught me the sword. No matter how I thought about it, there was nothing but gain.
In the name of teaching her swordsmanship, he clings to her and raises her relationship.
She asked her for her advice so I could build a foundation on which to grow stronger.
There is also a way to use her to wipe out her mines when there is a dungeon that she needs to run in a hurry, or when her villains run amok.
“Oh, that’s a very grateful proposal, but won’t it bother my sister too much?”
“It’s annoying. Rather, it’s nice to be able to see Siwoo more often.”
“Yeah?”
At my question, Dayoon Nam smirked and laughed.
Uh, can I interpret this to mean that she missed her sister that much…
“Siwoo is a student, so can we make a schedule for the weekend?”
“Yes? Yes. If you do, I would be very grateful.”
“If you’re thankful, when you become an adult later, you can shoot it big.”
At Dayoon Nam’s words, I nodded my head in delight as if I couldn’t help it.
***
A forest immersed in darkness all around.
A couple of men and women were walking there.
Brilliant blonde hair and red eyes. A woman in black shorts and a long-sleeved sweatshirt was yawning in her boredom.
There was a person with silver hair and blue eyes that contrasted with her blonde hair. A pretty person who can’t tell if he’s a man or a woman.
He, too, was an outfit unsuitable for the forest. Black sweats and shorts. And he was wearing slippers as if he was roughly moving somewhere nearby, and he had a languid expression on his face.
“Ah~. I should have participated in the thunderbird subjugation first.”
“Because they took it first. I can’t help it, well.”
Yoon Seung-ha languidly responded to the words of the blond woman, Yoon Chae-rin.
In fact, for them, this was an easier mission. It’s easier for the Thunderbird to find, but it wouldn’t have been easy to keep up with its flight speed.
‘What is the search for the dark spirit…’
Yoon Seung-ha looked at his twin sister.
Yoon Chae-rin.
A woman with a trait called Celestial Mara. The ability to dominate all demons after receiving an enormous correction in a person-to-person battle.
Dark spirits are generally tricky, but considering Yoon Chae-rin’s characteristics, it was easier than lying down and eating rice cakes.
‘If I eat rice cake while lying down, the rice cake might get stuck in my throat and I’ll be able to rummage through it.’
She was in the middle of walking, thinking nonsense.
-Kaiah ah! Help me!
A tearing scream rang out. His voice was thin. She’s probably a woman. However, both of them had a sullen look on their faces.
It wasn’t that they didn’t take human life lightly, it was the expression they made because they knew the person they were screaming at wasn’t human.
“Tsk, things that aren’t like stars suck.”
“A pretty horse.”
Yoon Seung-ha sighed at Yoon Chae-rin’s harsh words.
‘He’s a good person if he doesn’t curse.’
“You’re giving me an instruction on the topic of my younger brother.”
“Are you reaching your mother?”
“…Tsk. All the strange kids are fighting.”
Her brother, Yoon Seung-ha’s special move, Yoon Chae-rin changed her words. She says she has nothing to be afraid of, but her mother was a little too hard to deal with.
“Well, anyway. I’m going to kill that guy.”
“A pretty horse.”
“…I’ll catch him.”
At Yoon Seung-ha’s words, Yoon Chae-rin grumbled. Should I listen to her sister when I’m older? Really sure… Even if it wasn’t
Yoon Chae-rin kicked the ground while grumbling. Her figure began to ‘go into darkness’ for an instant. The darkness flew like an arrow shot through the darkness.
Seeing that, Yoon Seung-ha felt sorry for him. There was no way a person like that wild boar could hold on to the dark spirit.
Considering her characteristics, she only needed to get close and touch the Dark Spirit. No, she didn’t have to touch it, she just had to ‘absorb’ the dark spirit from a distance.
Kwaaang!
The forest turns upside down. Yoon Seung-ha let out a sigh and looked at the place where Yoon Chae-rin had fallen. As if a shell had fallen, a crater 10m in size had formed.
Then, I saw a woman smiling brightly, grabbing the dark spirit’s hair and waving it towards her.
Seeing this, Yun Seung-ha touched the forehead of Apao.
