Chapter 22 – Growth (2)
Saturday morning.
Arriving in Seoul by warp gate, I followed the address. It was a bit empty, so I stopped by the cafe. I ordered an Americano. The vibrating bell rang, so I went to the counter and there was a piece of cake.
“I didn’t order that cake over there.”
At my words, the pretty female employee smiled and said.
“It’s a service, sir.”
“Thank you.”
‘Is this the life of a handsome man?’
I went back to my seat and had coffee and cake. If there is a macaron shop on the way, should I buy some macarons? It was expensive, but considering the circumstances of my wallet, it wasn’t too much.
I drank some coffee, ate my cake quickly, and got up. I saw a macaron shop on the way, so I bought one for 10 pieces.
It was a handmade macaron made with New Zealand butter, but 10 pieces cost 23,000 won. Macaroons were really filthy expensive.
Passing through the forest of buildings, a quiet space appeared. Most of the residential areas consisted of three or four floors.
“Good.”
It was a quiet space. It was my dream to live in a place like this when I get married. I had no women, no money, and the price of houses continued to skyrocket, so I seriously considered immigration.
“…”
Anyway.
I headed to the address Dayoon Nam had previously taken.
I followed the address and saw a four-story house. I checked the address just in case, and the address was correct. I rang the bell
Ding dong.
“Siwoo, are you here?”
As soon as I pressed the bell, the door opened and Nam Dayoon appeared. Her blue hair, resembling the sea, fluttered. I was a bit perplexed. It was because Dayoon Nam’s outfit was more embarrassing than I thought.
She was wearing blue leggings that matched her hair color and a tight long-sleeved tee that peeked out at her navel. Unlike her brother’s loathsome tracksuit, she was full of sexiness. She said that if he wears it, she’s not as terrible as she is.
“Hello. I came empty-handed, so I bought something to eat.”
“Thank you. I’ll eat well.”
She smiled at my gift and accepted it. He received a bag containing 10 macaroons and guided me.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“Yes. I’ll eat some cake on the way.”
“You like sweet things.”
She was guided into the house by her. The house was tidy. White tiles were laid underneath, and luxurious furniture was arranged throughout the house. Past the living room, there were stairs leading to the upper and lower floors. We went downstairs.
The basement was wider than expected. It was a space that seemed to be about 50 pyeong.
“It’s quite spacious, right? It’s enchanted to expand the space, so
“Isn’t that very expensive?”
“Not a big deal.”
She twitched the corners of her mouth at my praise of her. It was a really easy response.
I went down to the training ground and headed towards the middle. The lights were bright, but not dazzling. Was this treated magically?
“Shall we do sparring lightly? Do you like wooden swords? I heard that they also use spears.”
Nam Da-yoon said as she went to the side where the wooden sword and spear were hung.
“Huh? Do you know the weapon I use?”
“Siwoo, you’re very famous.”
She said with a slight smile.
“Since the establishment of Hero Academy, no student has ever received a perfect score on the written test. But the only student who got a perfect score is Siu You. Not too long ago, you even got a gold grade for your academic writing at the Hall of Fame.”
“Ah, that…”
“Probably most of the people involved know. From Siwoo’s favorite food to the food he doesn’t like.”
“Wow, that’s a bit.”
I became fed up.
“It can’t be helped. There was a lot of talk here and there that if Siwoo grew up like this, he would become a scholar who would win the Nobel Prize.
Im’s family belonged to Im Na-yeon. Maybe because my parents were all in the guild that Im family created, they thought I was going too and blocked them.
“Then I’ll do it with a wooden sword.”
In response to my answer, Dayoon Nam handed me a wooden sword. And he took his own wooden sword.
‘Read knowledge!’
▼
Name: Dayoon Nam
Strength: 41
Agility: 45
Stamina: 42
Magic attribute: 45
Unique Ability: Sword
Attribute: X
It’s a monstrous ability. No matter what I do, I won’t be able to brush her collar.
“Let’s try attacking somewhere.”
At her words, I raised her sword and glared at her. But there is no gap in sight. If that’s the case, I’ll attack and create a gap.
Pod!
I kicked the ground. He aimed at her neck with a wooden sword.
Widely!
As if it was natural, she blocked mine with her wooden sword. However, the sea was expected. I used the heavenly water. Hand dexterity reached the peak.
Parrying.
When he sparred at the academy, the skills that all students struggled with were always displayed. However, her wooden sword only showed slight movement.
“Siwoo, you’ve already used parrying? That’s great.”
She opened her eyes wide in admiration. I ignored her words and continued to swing her wooden sword. Widely! Widely! The sound of wooden swords colliding echoed through the basement, but no effective blows came out. Considering the difference between her and mine, she was natural.
The result of struggling for 30 minutes like that.
“It’s not bad. No, it’s rather a huge achievement for its age.”
She praised me as she watched me wiping my sweat with a towel.
“His strength and agility are very low, but his technique is such that even mid-level heroes struggle with it.”
He smiled bitterly at her words. Only the skill is high. It may sound like a nice word, but the technique was ambiguous. Technique struggled with opponents with higher skills, and could not resist the overwhelming power.
“What do you think of Siwoo fighting?”
She said calmly. It’s a fight
“I think I get hit less, and the opponent hits more.”
“That’s right. If possible, it’s better to avoid all of the opponent’s attacks and kill or hit the opponent… But the opponent isn’t stupid either. The opponent will do everything possible to win.”
She said with a bitter smile. Dayoon Nam, who specializes in hunting villains, must have experienced all kinds of methods.
“Okay.”
“People often make a mistake, but close combat is a battle of brains.”
It’s a brain fight. It was something I also agreed with. I nodded my head at Dayoon Nam’s words.
“The most important thing is observation. Observing the opponent and observing my own condition. Figuring out the opponent’s moves, pressing the opponent with the number I can use and competing with each other’s hand. Perhaps this is what I will teach Siwoo. I think it’s the best thing you can do.”
“Anything else?”
She answered my question with a bitter smile.
“Swordsmanship is tailored to my unique characteristics, so it’s hard to teach Siwoo.”
I didn’t even want swordsmanship. Because all of the excellent swordsmanship are treasures that come out of billions of sounds by themselves.
“No, I’m just grateful that you taught me like this. It’s a bit much to ask for swordsmanship.”
“Umm. Anyway, what I’m going to teach Siwoo is the observation eye.”
“An observation plan?”
“Yes, I’m observing. I look at my opponent and look at my condition to determine the winning rate. You know the saying that if you’re followed, you’re invincible, right?”
I felt uncomfortable with her words. I cut her off without even knowing it.
“Sister, I’m sorry, but if you’re a loser, you’re in trouble.”
“What!”
She was shocked
“Ah, anyway. Most of the heroes of high rank who train ‘martial arts’ have these characteristics. If you want to become a high-level hero, it’s also a necessary rite of passage. If you don’t have this, you’ve awakened your ‘sense’.”
6th sense. Or it was a quality called superintuition. In the game, Critical Hit Rate, Critical Damage, Evasion, etc. Are a comprehensive set Attribute that increases, so it was a Attribute that must be raised. Eye law had high critical hit rate and damage, and intuition had high evasion.
There is a secret training room in the academy where you can learn how to train your intuition by turning off the lights and avoiding the scarecrow’s attacks 1,000 times.
The way to train the eyes was to dodge the ball 1,000 times there.
In other words, in order to practice the eye method, you have to dodge the ball at least 1,000 times at a time.
I broke out in a cold sweat when I thought of this. I like how they said it, so if I got hit even once in the middle of the 1,000th episode, I had to start all over again. However, there is a trick here, which can be easily completed, so I planned to use it to improve my eyesight and intuition.
‘But it’s different from the game, so I don’t know if it will go up or not.’
I don’t know because it’s not a step-by-step method of training, but it’s a bug-like method. It was good to learn once.
“Even a lion raises its cub by dropping it off a cliff.
Nam Da-yoon looked at the baseball he had brought from somewhere and said as if he was determined. I felt a little uncomfortable and called her involuntarily.
“Hey, is this Dayoon sister?”
“Dah, Dayoon sister? Huh? What’s wrong Siwoo?”
She answered my question in an excited voice.
“That’s incorrect information.”
“What?!”
It is true that lions push their cubs off cliffs, but they are not their own. The lion who became the new head pushes the lion cubs of the ‘former’ head to the cliff. How a lion loves his cub.
After explaining that, Dayoon Nam cleared his throat. It seems to be something that has never been done.
***
‘I lived…I…’
I breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, there was a reason Nam Da-yoon watched it. I thought about making a mask that increases agility, but in the end, it was meaningless if Nam Da-yun threw faster, so he trained hard wearing the Hel Chang mask. Still, his agility, which had been sluggish, went up by 1.
“Isn’t it very difficult? Come on, drink it. It’s a juice made from ground green carats, which is good for rejuvenation.”
Dayoon Nam handed me an unknown green juice and said, green carat. It was a green carrot. This must be a plant that grows in this world. Feeling weak, I nodded in gratitude and drank the juice. When I put the juice in my mouth, I felt a sweet taste. Did you add honey?
“Now, chew this one thoroughly and swallow it.”
After drinking about a third of her juice, she held out to me a loaf the size of two of her thumbs. It was an eye-catching item. An item that increases the effect when taken after training. This is pretty expensive. I opened my mouth to Dan with a feeling that I wanted to be a rice cake.
“Come on, Siwoo. Open your mouth, Aang.”
Dayoon Nam put the sweet into my mouth. He chewed and swallowed. My body seemed to have more strength. I looked at the clock hanging on one side of the wall. It’s already 7 o’clock.
Today’s income is agile 1. It was quite satisfactory. I became closer with Dayoon Nam.
‘Shall we go soon?’
I got up. Then Nam Da-yun said with a sad expression.
“See you next week.”
“Yes, thank you for today.”
I nodded and thought. She suggested that Dayoon Nam teach me over the weekend, but she had her own schedule, so she had no choice but to teach me today.
I left Dayoon Nam’s house.
