Chapter 644 – #130_Sword Witch (2)
#644
1.
The sparring match was over.
The total time spent was 18 hours.
It was similar to the time a modern person, suffering from sleep deprivation for various reasons, spends awake in a 24-hour day.
Among that, the rest time, including treatment time, was about an hour.
The rest was all a life-or-death struggle disguised as sparring.
It had long since gone beyond the scope of sparring and was a training method that challenged the limits of humans.
Shiwoo’s body was also quite well-trained.
No matter how big the gap was, he wasn’t just getting hit.
In the fourth sparring match, he broke Rinne’s ribs with a powerful swing of his spear, and in the sixth match, he tore her wrist open with the tip of his spear.
And this was clearly a fatal mistake.
It seemed to have poured oil on Rinne’s already burning fighting spirit and desire for improvement.
After that, Rinne’s spirit was terrifying.
Even with one arm covered in blood, broken ribs, and depleted stamina.
Rinne, saying, “It’s good because it’s similar to a real battle,” and rushing in without even getting treatment, became more and more energetic as time went on, rather than getting tired and falling behind.
The reason why the hellish sparring ended in 18 hours was because Shiwoo no longer had the strength to even lift his spear.
“Good work.”
“You too… good… work…”
Rinne, whose clothes were soaked and damp with sweat.
Unlike Shiwoo, who was melting into the floor and turning into a slime, she stood upright.
It was probably due to the difference in the degree of injury rather than the difference in mental strength.
“It was fun.”
“……”
Shiwoo wasn’t having fun at all…
But wasn’t it a great achievement just to have gotten the word ‘fun’ out of Rinne’s mouth?
If he didn’t think that way, he felt like he would die of injustice.
“Come to the training grounds at the same time tomorrow.”
“Huh? Why?”
He was so surprised that he spoke in polite language.
Rinne, rather than paying attention to the polite language, tilted her head as if asking why he was asking something so obvious.
“Of course, it’s for sparring.”
Sparring started at 6 AM, and it ended at 0 AM.
The words to come to the training grounds at the same time meant that he had to repeat that ordeal again after only about 6 hours of rest.
He wondered if things were going too smoothly.
To think he would be caught by such a battle maniac and become a living punching bag.
“Life…”
Shiwoo’s vision went dark.
2.
Supported by Yebin, who had treated Rinne and Shiwoo for the last time, he returned to his room.
“Shiwoo, are you okay?”
“No, I feel like I’m going to die.”
He didn’t even have the energy to put on a brave face.
He even had to borrow Yebin’s hand for the cleansing magic.
“She’s really too much… How could she do this…”
Yebin, who always watched Rinne’s every move and was careful about her behavior, also teared up and made a resentful remark.
It was no wonder, as she had used healing magic more than 11 times today alone.
Of course, Rinne herself was not lightly injured, but Shiwoo was much more severely injured.
Countless cuts and lacerations, a broken shinbone from being kicked, and even a blood transfusion due to bleeding.
Rinne’s appearance of forcibly getting Shiwoo, who was already in a groggy state, to his feet was like a torturer who hired a doctor to carry out relentless torture.
“She definitely hates you, Shiwoo.”
“That’s not it. I think she actually likes me a lot.”
Shiwoo, sighing as he looked at his tattered clothes, denied it.
At first, Shiwoo even wondered, ‘Does she have a grudge against me because I’m a disciple of Tiferet?’ but it wasn’t that.
She was genuinely enjoying this sparring.
Her obsessive attachment to martial arts was enough to be recognized as love at this point.
“She likes someone so much that she cuts them to pieces?”
“Still, thanks to Yebin, it doesn’t hurt. The reason I look weak now is just because I’m tired…”
“That’s understandable. I’d collapse just from running for 18 hours…”
Originally, he was planning to reorganize his magic in his spare time.
Since it was a dimensional transfer formula that he had been neglecting for a while, it needed to be supplemented.
However, if this hardcore schedule continued, he wondered if he could really do research at the same time…
That was something to think about later.
For now, his limbs were boycotting, saying that he needed to rest today.
“Can I impose on you again today?”
“Impose? Oh, the bedding? Of course.”
“Then…”
Shiwoo moved awkwardly, half-crawling, to find clothes to change into.
Even if he used cleansing magic, he felt sorry to go into someone else’s bedding wearing clothes that were more than half torn and soaked with sweat.
“I don’t have any clothes to change into.”
“I guess not… How about this?”
Since Hyangwolru didn’t have any men’s clothing prepared, he had no choice but to ask Yebin for a bathrobe.
It was quite uncomfortable because the shoulders were a bit narrow and the bottom hem came up above his knees, but there was no other way.
He couldn’t sleep in someone else’s room in his underwear, could he?
“Are you making elixirs again today? I’m sorry if I’m taking up your sleeping space.”
“No, I already finished the elixir and gave it to you before the sparring. You suffered a bit more because of me… I should have postponed it… But it’s okay. I don’t usually sleep much anyway.”
As he burrowed into the bedding while listening to her words, wow.
It couldn’t be more cozy.
Just as he closed his eyes and was about to fall into dreamland, he felt a presence.
In the short time he had dozed off, Yebin had approached his bedside.
The sweet scent from the pillow and blanket and the smell of her skin tickled his nose even more intensely.
“Shiwoo, it must be very hard for you, right?”
“What can I do? I have to endure it.”
“Should I give you a massage?”
“A massage?”
“Strictly speaking, it’s not a massage… It’s about applying this.”
When he was puzzled by the sudden suggestion, Yebin took out a bottle with a pale jade color from her sleeve and continued.
“Is that the medicine from earlier?”
“That’s right.”
Shiwoo also recognized the identity of the bottle.
It was the healing potion that Yebin had taken out of her pocket every time she treated Shiwoo’s injuries during sparring.
“This is a potion that enhances the self-healing power of the spirit body. If you apply it well to your body and sleep, you’ll feel much better tomorrow. Besides, we don’t know exactly what problems you have in your body. It’s better to take additional rest than to overdo it.”
It was welcome news.
He was already dreading tomorrow.
“That’s good. But I’d feel burdened if you did it for me, so if you give it to me, I’ll do it myself.”
“This isn’t just about applying it… It’s a medium for healing magic, so it’ll be more efficient if I do it.”
“Then, I’ll shamelessly ask you for the favor.”
“It’s nothing. You’ve worked hard, so rest well.”
He felt somewhat sorry and burdened.
But he was too exhausted to even talk, so he quietly agreed.
“Oh, give me the bathrobe.”
Yebin skillfully took the bathrobe like a wife receiving her husband’s coat after work.
“Should I lie face down?”
“Yes, yes.”
Shiwoo lay down, placing a large towel underneath to prevent the yoga mat from getting dirty.
Yebin’s warm and soft hands were placed on his back, which had been tired all day.
“I’ll start now.”
As Yebin’s hands, which massaged his entire back with appropriate pressure, combined with the unique scent of the healing potion, it felt like he was receiving some kind of aromatherapy.
It was also a medicine made by refining magical power oil, not magical power.
As the gentle waves of magical power permeated every part of his body through the healing potion, he didn’t feel cold at all, even though he was in his underwear.
“I think I’m going to fall asleep like this…”
“It’s okay if you just sleep.”
“……”
“Shiwoo?”
There was no answer.
Shiwoo, who had been suffering from overwork that even exceeded the limits of his spirit body, had fallen asleep as if he had fainted in just one minute.
3.
Even after Shiwoo fell asleep, Yebin was silently doing her job.
Originally, Yebin was trying to be devoted to his care and healing for him, who had suffered, but she was unintentionally enjoying some eye candy.
It wasn’t the first time she had seen his body.
She had seen it with very accurate data when she examined him to treat his fatal injuries yesterday.
She had also seen it when she treated his injuries during sparring today.
But at that time, Yebin was in medical mode.
She wasn’t in a relaxed enough situation to comfortably evaluate his physique or health.
“Wow… What kind of body is this?”
And now, after putting out the fire and entering the rehabilitation phase.
Yebin was shamelessly exclaiming in admiration.
“Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…”
His body was good even when she had a one-night stand with him before.
At that time, he was still in the process of being spiritualized, so it would have been difficult to call it an ‘ideal body’.
Even considering that, his body, which she had met again after almost two years, had become perfect.
It wasn’t bulky muscles.
It was the lean muscles like a beast that every woman dreams of.
If she had to say, it was like the body of a gymnast.
“Ugh… ugh… ugh…”
His inverted triangle-shaped latissimus dorsi muscles, spread out like a frilled lizard.
His bulging back muscles, even though he was sleeping face down.
His strong core that seemed like it would never get tired no matter how hard he exercised.
His rock-hard thighs and even the firm buttocks that could be seen through his briefs.
Originally, Yebin was not very sexually active when she was human.
When she was living as a recluse in the polar regions, she was really focused on masturbation because that was all there was to do.
After Shiwoo left and she started living a healthy life, she didn’t really engage in self-pleasure, and the fact that she didn’t bring other men to bed was proof of that.
“Seriously, this is crazy…”
There was a charm in his body that made all those tendencies pale in comparison.
The feel of the muscles that clung to her hands through the smooth healing potion was enough to make Yebin’s mind go hazy.
“Let’s get a grip.”
She couldn’t do this.
Even if it was an auxiliary treatment, treatment was treatment.
If she forgot her duty as a medical professional again, there would be no point in learning from her first treatment experience.
Yebin, clenching her gums tightly, used telekinesis.
Shiwoo’s body floated up and turned to face the front like flipping a mackerel, and…
“Ah…”
Yebin let out a sigh without realizing it.
Both cheeks flushed with heat in an instant.
It wasn’t because of his bulging chest muscles,
nor was it because of his well-defined abs that looked like they could be used for laundry.
Right now, Shiwoo was in a state of comfortable rest after finishing a hard workout.
The massage, full of personal feelings, that added vitality to his tired body naturally induced an erection during sleep.
As a result of Shiwoo’s monster-like thing standing diagonally upright.
His massive cannon was pulling on his underwear.
The power was so great that it felt like it would jump out with a heavy thud even if she just flicked the elastic band with her fingertips.
It was truly overwhelming masculinity.
Yebin closed her eyes tightly.
She almost did something terrible.
She almost grabbed it with her hands without realizing it.
But doing that while he was asleep would only be sexual harassment disguised as goodwill.
-Clench!
As a result of biting her tongue so hard that it almost bled, she was able to regain some reason.
Hadn’t she been living well without this until now?
“Haa… ugh… ugh… ugh…”
Yebin hardened her heart and rubbed the healing potion all over the front of his body, massaging it.
It was truly a time of agony.
