Chapter 78 – Iron Rank Upgrade (1)
“Hmm…”
Woke up. I tried to get up, but my arms felt heavy. When I turned around, Seris and Kara were sleeping soundly on my arm. Seeing them reminded me of what happened last night.
Hehe, hehe… Yuseong Ceeeee…
-Ok.. Ugh.. Eek… Oppa gmaaan…
‘Crazy.’
To have a headache. What was I thinking last night? No matter how liberated he was, to do it with two people at the same time.
I tried to sigh, but my throat burned. I slipped her arm away from Kara. Likewise, I tried to get it from Celis, but she snapped it.
‘…?’
Tried to separate However, as if she didn’t like it, she started to give her strength little by little. Sick. I couldn’t help but wake her up by knocking on her.
“Yes…?”
Cerys rubbed her eyes and stood up. While in a daze, she looked at me and smiled brightly. He closes her eyes and holds out her mouth.
“I will not. It’s morning and your breath stinks.”
“Yes?!”
Celis blew on her palms and checked the smell of her breath. Looking at it, she tilted her head.
“Aren’t you?”
“How do you smell your breath? And not only you, but me too. Kiss after brushing your teeth.”
“Huh…”
Céris pouted her mouth and took my hand.
“Then go brush your teeth quickly.”
She said that and dragged me out. I smiled and followed her. Then my other arm was grabbed.
“…Where?”
Kara asked, rubbing her eyes while holding my arm.
“Woke up?”
“Yeah… Where are you two going…?”
“To brush your teeth.”
“Come with me…”
“Okay then wake up.”
“Huh…”
Kara awoke from her slumber. She trudged and leaned on me. I hugged her and supported her countless times.
“Uh? Let me do it too.”
Cerys followed Kara and leaned her body against me. She looked at me like she was doing something and puffed out her cheeks.
“Okay okay.”
He stretched out his arms and hugged her around the waist. Only then does the expression unravel. I took the two of them out of the room to brush my teeth.
* * *
The daily life of Yooseong, Seris, and Kara can be classified into two major categories. Working days and non-working days.
On working days, he carries out requests received from the Adventurer’s Guild. I usually receive a quest that ends in one day. After finishing, go home and rest.
On days off from work, self-training and sparring are conducted.
Today was a non-work day, and the three of them are currently sparring.
Seris and Kara, armed with leather armor, approached the meteor. It didn’t shut up and charge like the first time we sparred. It moved slowly, as if to surround him.
Yooseong looked at the two of them alternately. It’s not bad. Thinking so, I ran towards Kara. There was no reason to wait for the two of them to be surrounded.
“Kara!”
Seris shouted as if to prepare. Kara had already stopped her movement and was trying to get her into position. She pulls her right foot behind her and holds her wooden sword upside down with both hands.
Concentrate.
It reminds me of the Guryeol of Geongon Yeonhwan Talbaekdo (乾坤連環奪魄刀) that I learned a while ago.
The description of Geongon Yeonhwan Talbaekdo is hoe (回)
Her sword cut across her front in a half-circle. She couldn’t cut the meteor. Kara rotated her body without stopping.
‘Not stiff, using flow instead of force.’
Her sword drew a circle at an angle, gently but quickly. She descended obliquely towards the meteor. He spilled it However, this time, Kara did not stop and rotated.
Geongon Yeonhwan Talbaekdo
Type 1 Yeonhwanhoegeom (連環回劍)
Kara’s dagger fell towards the meteor. Yuseong shed or dodged all of her swords. Kara’s sword couldn’t even graze him, and she stopped on the fifth spin.
‘This is still the best.’
If she rotates more forcefully at her level, her posture will collapse. Even though she didn’t brush Yoosung’s hair, she’s fine.
Seris arrived in the short time she earned.
“Poke the Heavenly Demon!”
Celis learned the plum blossom sword method.
However, it is different from that of a volcano.
Because the Heavenly Demon Artifice latent in her head changed it.
When the description of the Heavenly Demon God was incorporated into the Maehwa sword method, even Heocho was no longer a mere Heocho. If you ignore it, it will become the weeds that take away your life.
Yes.
Her sting just now was grass. Even if it was a wooden sword, if it got hit by grass, the body wouldn’t be able to recover.
Fortunately, Yoosung escaped.
“Slash the Heavenly Demon! Cut the Heavenly Demon! Cut the Heavenly Demon! Cut the Heavenly Demon! Slash the Heavenly Demon!”
Maehwa Sword has herbivores, but it was very difficult to use. Seris applied only the basic movements. However, the power of the Heavenly Demon Goddess and her power alone were enough.
Terrible weeds rushed to Meteor.
‘That’s real…’
Yuseong carefully avoided each one and frowned at her. His pupils narrowed and his senses expanded.
“Poke the Heavenly Demon!”
Yooseong turned his upper body to avoid being stabbed. I wrapped my right arm around his outstretched arm. If you hit her elbow like this, it will break.
He hit her side instead of her elbow.
“Ugh!”
But Seris did not stop her movement. There was poison in her eyes. She has a strong desire to earn her praise by winning a shot from him somehow.
“Cheonma Punch!”
She wields the shield in her left hand. Yoosung ducked down to avoid it and slapped his other side as well.
“Keuk…”
It was only then that Seris’ back bent, albeit briefly. Yooseong did not miss that gap. He coiled around her Ceris like a snake preying on her prey. Before she could react, her dagger landed on her throat.
“Once.”
He said that and pushed Celis away. He confronted Kara, who approached.
Seris looked at her and drooped her shoulders.
‘I lost again…’
She has never defeated Meteor in Dalian until now. Even though it was with Kara.
‘What’s missing?’
Cheonma Singong and Maehwa Sword Technique.
The two martial arts are so great that even Seris, who is unfamiliar with martial arts, admires them. She fought with a good mix of those two things, and yet she lost.
Even if you can only win once!
Seris frowned. Then she counted 60 seconds internally. After she lost once, it was the rule that she counted 60 seconds before she could enter the sparring again.
If one person is counting 60 seconds and the other person is beaten, the sparring is over.
She counted all 60 seconds and Ceris ran towards the meteor.
“Poke the Heavenly Demon!”
I will definitely win this time.
* * *
“Okay, finished. Rest for 20 minutes.”
At the word rest, Seris and Kara fell to the floor without saying anything first. She was breathing so hard that her chest rose and fell.
I sat down against a tree and caught my breath. She looked at her sister Ceris.
‘Both of them have improved a lot.’
At first she just ran at her, but now she can time her timing. I learned each swordsmanship one by one, so my skills improved.
Also, as I continued to fight, the connection was much better than before. Even if it’s a bit difficult, it’s probably because we’ve been dealing with two people at the same time.
Status window turned on.

-Tetrahedron Method [Lv.1] [37.28%]
===============================
Compared to two months ago, the overall ability increased slightly. It’s because of regular exercise and training. In the case of magical power, it is thanks to the training of the mental method.
‘The collateral dagger doesn’t work well…’
It’s probably because I couldn’t practice the movements of mixing other martial arts. Manryu Demon Singong has its proficiency up to 21%, but it is difficult to handle, and Manryu Demonic Singularity can only be used after getting used to it.
He sighed again and lowered his gaze.
‘The death body method is 37%. It’s risen quite a bit.’
Sahwachebeop (蛇化體法) is a martial art that was discovered while searching for martial arts in the Tang family.
As the name suggests, a taijutsu that turns you into a snake.
It was a little different from other taijutsu, which focused on attacking the opponent. Sahwachebeob is a martial art that aims for gaps and wraps around the opponent’s body to subdue them.
Since it mainly targets joints that are difficult to apply strength to, it is difficult to escape once it gets caught unless the difference in strength is quite large.
That’s why I bought them even though they were names I wasn’t familiar with.
‘Anyway, why don’t I have a herbivorous diet?’
The flow of thought passed to the sword method. Why don’t I have a herbivore like the ‘Yeonhwanhoesword’ that Kara showed me?
‘Is it because the skill level is low?’
No.
Even though Kara has a level 1 proficiency, isn’t she herbivorous? The same goes for Celis’ plum sword.
‘…’
I don’t know.
‘Let’s take the 3rd level and think about it.’
Things about herbivores were postponed until later. Shifted thinking.
‘First of all, the things I need to buy after the quadruple body method…’
I put together what I had in mind.
Manchurian species.
A memorization recovery method using Manryu prayer technique. For me, who throws daggers a lot, this is a must-have martial art.
Gucheonhyeonnyeo, Biroecheonpung, Chuhonbijeop, Mancheonhwawoo, etc.
These are the secret techniques that can be said to be the main martial arts of the Sichuan Dangga. It takes a lot of time and karma to learn one martial art, so you won’t be able to learn all of them. Still, I think it would be better to learn later about marriage secrets and Mancheonhwawoo.
‘Mancheon Hwawoo is expensive, but I can pay in installments.’
Next is the concealment technique of the Illusion Gate.
The status bar says I have a talent for covert work. I think there might be a skill in hermit art.
Blood poison
This is also the first time I’ve heard of martial arts. However, it seemed useful to be able to remember the poison shed in the blood and synthesize it in the body.
Other than that, there were a lot of martial arts that looked good. But you can’t learn them all. It required selection and concentration.
‘…Head hurts.’
There was too much to think about. I closed the status window and got up. I told the two people who were taking a break.
“Break over! Get up again!”
“Already?!”
“Joe, can’t we just rest a little longer…?”
“No.”
He lifted the two up and started sparring again.
* * *
After training, I entered the adventurer’s guild with a tired body. After looking through the bulletin board, I picked up a request to subdue kobolds. I walked to the reception desk.
“Hello, Mr. Han Yuseong.”
The receptionist, Orr, who is now completely used to it, said hello. I handed her the request to subdue the kobolds.
“Is it another request to subdue kobolds? I think the Han Yoo-seong family will be able to accept higher-level requests sooner or later.”
Orga glanced at me and said. I sighed.
“Didn’t you tell me the other day? It’s better to be stable right now.”
Until a few months ago, I had to find a different person every time I requested. It was very cumbersome.
But lately, the three of us, Celis, and Kara have been able to complete the quest without any problems.
Of course, this is a story limited to requests to subdue goblins and kobolds. If you receive a more dangerous request, you will have to save other people and the stability will decrease.
That’s why I want to receive higher level quests after sufficient training. After at least two people have each beaten me once.
“It’s because I’m sorry. If you receive a higher level request, you will be promoted faster.”
Orga looked at me, to be exact, at the adventure in my arms.
“Why are you so interested in my rank, Mr. Orr? Of course, thank you for caring, but…”
She put her hand on her waist.
“Because of course it is reflected in my grades!”
“Yes. That’s right too.”
After all, there was no such thing as pure goodness in the world.
“Oh, and you know what?”
“What are you talking about?”
She gestured for Orga to come closer. As she approached, she whispered in his ear.
“Seris and Kara, the promotion of the two of you is getting closer..!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. To the extent that if you receive a request other than a goblin or kobold subjugation request, you will be promoted right away. I’ll say it again, but it’s not a request to subdue goblins or kobolds.”
“…Yes. For example, what kind of request would you like?”
“I knew you would say that, so I saved one! Let’s see…”
She started to rummage through Orga’s drawer and pulled out one of her parchments.
“Ah, I found it. This is it.”
She handed her referral to me.
