## Chapter 259 – Those Martial Artist Bastards
There’s no problem in this world that can be solved with words, after all. No matter how much a modern person tries to resolve a situation with reason and objective explanations, this place was another world. A barren world where common sense doesn’t work, and even reason is useless!
What mattered to them wasn’t the truth, but face!
This was truly a Kim Katastrophe of epic proportions!
I felt an intense sense of crisis!
“Follow me!”
Mariel, who shouted fiercely, dragged my body, which was tightly bound with rope. What kind of arrest rope was this! I wanted to unleash my true power and break the rope, but it was tied so tightly that I couldn’t.
There’s no room to use my strength…!
“Mariel, I’m sorry! I’ll apologize! Please forgive me just once!”
Half-panicked, I knelt down and rubbed my face against Mariel’s calf.
“Ha, haha! How pathetic, Heavenly Demon! Now you will pay the price for your sins!”
“What sins are you talking about! It was my fault! I’m so sorry!”
“Kyahahahahaha!”
“Mariel!!!” I’m sorry!!!”
A scream!
“W-what is this…? This delightful feeling? More! Beg me more!”
I could only beg Mariel, who was laughing maniacally! I displayed the macho spirit and acted as pitiful as possible. A true macho knows how to grovel to the depths when necessary.
That is the way of the macho.
“Mariel.”
The guild leader said coldly.
Mariel flinched as if she had been shot.
“Stop with the nonsense and start walking. Don’t you still realize that this is all your fault?”
“G-Guild Leader, that is…”
“Shut up. Sigh, and you call yourself an instructor.”
“…”
Anyway, the three of us were currently moving somewhere.
The Martial Artist Guild building seemed quite large. We walked down the hallway. The guild leader led the way, followed by Mariel and Serka, who were dragging me.
“And Serka.”
“…Yes.”
“Even if you dislike nomads, is it okay to show it to someone you’ve just met? When you think about it, your fault seems to be the biggest.”
“That’s right…”
“Behave yourself.”
“…Yes.”
Suddenly, the guild leader started scolding Serka rationally.
Is this one of those things? They’ll distinguish between right and wrong, but I still have to be punished? They’re just busy protecting their own, those bitches.
I felt infinite anger.
Not only did they start the fight, but they’re trying to punish the person who was attacked. In my opinion, these bastards were all worthless trash. They were no different from bandits!
These heretics!
The hatred from that time flared up…!
ㅡCreak.
The guild leader opened the door in front of us. It seemed to be a door leading to another building… Please! Where are you taking me! I shouted frantically!
“Oh! Guild Leader! Just a moment! Even so, this is just a problem that occurred between guild members, so I don’t think it’s right for the Guild Leader to get involved directly! Our Swordsman Guild Leader won’t stand idly by either!”
It didn’t make sense for the guild leader to get involved just because some nobodies were fighting. Of course, there was a large-scale brawl a while ago, but that was already in the past, wasn’t it?
She turned to look at me and said.
“Oh my. Is that a threat?”
“A threat? I’m just stating the obvious!”
“Are you saying I don’t have common sense?”
“Of course not! Not at all! Everything the Guild Leader says is right!”
“Hehe, please don’t be sarcastic. It makes me feel bad.”
“I’m not being sarcastic!”
“Then you’re making fun of me.”
“I’m not making fun of you either!”
This fucking bitch is countering everything I say!
The guild leader said that and smiled.
“Oh my god, oh my god! Please just spare my life! I’ll do anything!”
Desperate, I begged for my life.
“There’s nothing a black-haired man can do.”
“Of course there is! What a useful man I am! I’m really the best!”
“What can you do?”
When I actually tried to think about it, I couldn’t remember what I was good at. This is the harm of rote learning. People forget their strengths and lose their dreams because of standardized education.
All I can do is kill or hunt… After thinking about it, I answered.
There is one thing I can do.
“…I’m good at singing!”
“Singing?”
The guild leader showed interest in those words.
“Yes!”
“Sing for me.”
So, I stopped in front of the door for a moment and warmed up my voice, “Ah, ah.” Good! I will move these ruthless people with my song! A great plan was being formulated in my head to enlighten them and get out of here.
“To Jongnoㅡ!”
The song I will sing is “Compass” by Seol Undo.
It was a divine song that moved people all over the world.
“Shall we go toㅡ! Shall we go to Myeongdong~! Rather! Shall we go to Cheongnyangri~.”
Having put 100% of my heart and soul into it for the first time in a while, I showed off my singing skills, which I had honed to the limit, paying perfect attention to accents and pronunciation.
I don’t know for sure, but I felt like I could debut as a singer even in modern Earth if I did this much. I was a pretty good singer after all.
And the guild leader’s impression after hearing it was.
“It’s trash!”
“Yes?! That can’t be!”
“I shouldn’t have listened!”
This fucking payo king!
“Even your song resembles you! Get in there quickly!”
“Ugh!”
So I was dragged away by them.
It seemed impossible to escape no matter how much of a dog and pony show I put on.
Overwhelming despair covered me.
“By the way. It’s quite interesting that a swordsman overwhelmed Mariel with martial arts.”
As I was walking down the hallway that seemed to last forever, the guild leader said that. Just as I was about to say something, she continued.
“It shouldn’t have happened. If such a rumor spreads, we’ll have to close up shop… Mariel. Do you know why I’m angry?”
So that’s what it was.
It seemed to be a big problem that she lost to a swordsman in martial arts. Well, I’m someone who lives by the sword, and these guys live by the fist, so if they lost, it would be a problem.
“That is…”
“It would be one thing if you won, but if you get your ass kicked like that in a place with so many people, what would happen to our guild’s reputation? There were already rumors that we were beaten badly by the Swordsman Guild last time, so the atmosphere wasn’t good to begin with.”
“…I’m sorry.”
“That Karin bitch is really… getting arrogant. Anyway, we need to take appropriate measures. Now, go in.”
There was another door at the end of the hallway.
Serka, looking timid, opened the door.
“Here is…?”
Mariel pulled on the rope.
I was led by it into the room.
“We greet the Guild Leader!”
“We greet the Guild Leader!”
“We greet the Guild Leader!”
“Oh, what the fuck!”
As soon as I entered, loud voices greeted us.
Looking around, it was a space that looked like an indoor gymnasium. It was wide and the ceiling was high. Above all, men and women wearing martial arts uniforms were kneeling and filling the perimeter.
“Here is…?”
“This is our guild’s indoor gymnasium.”
The Swordsman Guild is trash!
The facilities are better here!
When the guild leader raised her hand appropriately, the arena became quiet in an instant.
“Mariel. Untie the rope.”
“I understand.”
What are they planning?
Mariel slowly began to untie the rope around me.
“Personally, I’m quite interested in your martial arts. What was it, your alias was Heavenly Demon? The demon of the sky, quite a fierce alias… Where did you learn martial arts?”
“…It’s a tribal traditional martial art.”
I didn’t want to reveal the inner workings of my martial arts, so I answered appropriately.
“A traditional martial art of the nomads? Hooh, so that’s why Mariel?”
The guild leader, who looked at me as if she was dissecting me, whispered something to Mariel, and then talked a little with a male martial artist and a female martial artist who approached. Then she spoke to me again.
“The rights and wrongs, the reasons, and the origins of the incident are all irrelevant. We will now begin a sparring match. From now on, you will face the lower-level instructor, the mid-level instructor, and the upper-level instructor in order.”
What?
“Wait a minute. I don’t understand, why are you doing that?”
Sparring?
“Well, think of it as something similar to saving face. You’ll end up getting your ass kicked anyway, so it’ll be a good example and a good way to get revenge.”
“Getting my ass kicked… Heok! No way!”
I was shocked!
They said I had to face the lower, middle, and upper-level instructors all!
That meant I had to fight continuously without any rest!
No matter how much of a Heavenly Demon I am, if they come at me like this, I will 100% lose, and in the end, I will get beaten like a dog who ate a newborn baby at Kim Seo-bang’s house on Dog Meat Day, just like when I first came to Isvant!
Shibal! This can’t be!
“Please show us your tribal traditional martial arts properly.”
She, who was sitting on a luxurious sofa that had been prepared at some point, took out a fan and covered her mouth. Then she crossed her legs.
“This is unfair! Guild Leader! I don’t think this is right! If you have reason and common sense, you will know how crazy this is! Stop it now!”
Terrified, I fell into a panic and shouted.
“I told you. The rights and wrongs don’t matter. It’s just for the guild’s reputation. There are many guild members who have grievances against you. Do you know how many people have been screwed over? You’re trying to ruin our guild, aren’t you.”
You bitch! I’ve been screwed over by you guys too!
And you bastards attacked me first, aagh!
“Our Guild Leader will be very happy to see me get screwed over!”
“It’s a good opportunity to pick a fight with that rude Karin. That damn old maid.”
“Damn it!”
C, crazy!
They’re out of their minds!
There is a story that in a village where people with one eye live, a person with two eyes becomes a monster…!
I took a wrong step!
Into this crazy world of the moon!
“This is just an aside, but if you beat all the upper-level instructors, I’ll just let you go. It’s impossible, though.”
“…”
These fucking ball-busting bitches…!
“Alright! Come on! A warrior never avoids a fight that comes his way! You, Riztina, was it! You’ll regret it!”
Good! Isn’t it enough to just break everything and get out! The deed is already done! If that’s the case, then I’ll clean up as much as I can, even if it doesn’t work!
You bastards!
Did you think the Heavenly Demon of the Central Plains was so easy to deal with!
The situation had already gone to hell.
If that’s the case, there’s no other way but to go wild…!
“Wow, you have a good spirit? You have a manly spirit. Mariel. Take off his coat.”
“I’ll take it off myself.”
ㅡThud!
I slowly took off my equipment, starting with the gauntlets. Serka, who brought a soft cushion, quietly took my equipment.
You bitch, this is all your fault. Be sure to remember that…!
Then I take off my breastplate, greaves, and even my quilted armor. The shirt I was wearing inside was already soaked with sweat. I take that off with my belt. I throw the shirt I took off on the floor.
ㅡThwack!
“Oh, oh.”
“He has a well-trained body.”
“It’s a warrior’s body.”
Then, as my scarred upper body, honed by murder and battle, was revealed, the martial artists in the arena stirred. It was all admiration. Still, they were guys who made a living from martial arts, so they recognized my body.
I’ll make you regret looking down on Kim Kat, a veteran who survived as a Manmon in the hell called another world.
“Oh my, a nice body.”
The guild leader muttered that while looking at my body.
I took off the necklace I was wearing around my neck and handed it to Mariel.
“…Ahem.”
“What? Are you worried about my nipples?”
When I held out the necklace, Mariel avoided my gaze. By the way, I killed a mountain bandit boss when I first came to Isvant and took this from him. I just kept it as an emergency fund without selling it.
“W-what are you saying!”
“Ha! The concept of a man’s nipples is a little early for you who are still young. Go and suck on your mom’s tits more!”
“Didn’t you say you were going to die a while ago!”
“Am I really dead?”
“Eek!”
ㅡThis bastard! What nonsense are you saying to Instructor Mariel!
ㅡShut up!
ㅡGuild Leader! Please let me fight!
Then a riot broke out.
You guys are having fun, aren’t you.
That was also silenced by the guild leader’s gesture.
“Then let’s get started. Hmm, who should I choose? I have to send a lower-level instructor first… Mariel.”
“Yes, yes?”
“Do you want to do it, Mariel?”
“…No. I’m fine.”
“Tsk. Then…”
ㅡI’ll do it!
A young man shouted loudly from the crowd.
He was a slender man with an impressive green mohawk hairstyle.
Isn’t that hairstyle crazy?
“Is that Salio? Good. Go stand in front.”
The opponent has been decided.
He walked to the center of the gymnasium, and I also slowly walked and stood opposite him.
“Start.”
As the guild leader shouted indifferently,
ㅡTtaeng!
Serka rang the bell.
Haa… Shibal. How did things turn out like this?
I took a deadly stance of the Siljang Kwonbeop.
“Wabarat!”
ㅡKuikui!
Now that I’ve started, I’ll show you the end!
