Chapter 496 – Exchange Meeting (5)
A hunter’s greatest asset is his body itself.
Therefore, methods of efficiently handling the body are also of high value.
Especially if it has been proven through hundreds or thousands of actual battles.
It is for this reason that the number of hunter specialist PTs and martial arts studios, which had been decreasing day by day before the hunter society, has increased rapidly.
That’s because there is a difference.
The skills of those who have steadily built up their skills from the basic level and those who have not.
The cost of entering a martial arts gym run by a retired hunter who was once on the verge of reaching S class but never succeeded in being promoted is a little less than one semester’s tuition at university.
In order to complete various curricula, you have to attend consistently for at least a few years, so how much money does that cost?
Even if you go like that, you won’t be able to learn a single move from the director’s secret.
It is an arrangement for exceptional people who not only have money, but also talent.
In other words, the price of the basic martial arts and theories established by an A-level hunter who failed to rise to S-level is at least several thousand, or at most hundreds of millions.
If so.
How much is the teaching of an S-class hunter who is ranked number one in Korea, is well into the upper-middle class globally, and is even still active?
What if we assume that we learn his feasts, which are not at a basic level?
Even Yoon Si-hoo, who has no talent for using his brain, can understand this right away.
‘Nonsense…’
That’s literally it.
From the beginning, Son Si-woo had nailed it in advance through various media.
I will never teach my swordsmanship for money.
If I were to teach someone someday, I think it would only be possible if we had a deep connection in many ways.
Son Si-woo gave so many things to the hunters.
However, I said that I don’t think I can release this easily.
That was natural.
Because it has been built up over several decades and runs through my life, no, it is nothing short of itself.
Yoon Si-hoo, who remembered this far, was caught up in a deeper question.
“How could the guild leader use Hunter Son Si-woo’s sword skills… ?”
How does Kim Do-jin know Son Si-woo’s swordsmanship and profess to teach him?
He laughed at this.
“Well.”
It was similar to back then.
When I gave a vague answer telling me to prove my worth.
His words continued.
“Sometimes in the world there are relationships that cannot be revealed to the outside. The relationship between me and Hunter Son Si-woo…, Belongs there.”
There is some kind of relationship.
But it is difficult to reveal this.
To Yoon Si-hoo, his words sounded exactly like that.
That was correct.
You can’t say, ‘Actually, I am Son Si-woo, and Son Si-woo actually owns this body.’
“I can’t reveal it clearly, but this much is certain.”
“… ?”
“What you are learning is real, and there will be no problems in the future. Ah!”
Suddenly, one thing came to mind, and he spoke hurriedly.
“There might be one problem.”
“Which… ?”
“You might be called the successor to Son Si-woo Hunter or a new hope to follow in his footsteps?”
“… !”
If you say it’s a problem, it might be a problem.
However, for Yoon Si-hoo, these words were not a problem, but rather acted as kindling that lit a fire in his heart.
‘I…, Following in the footsteps of Son Si-woo Hunter?’
It was like a dream for everyone.
Likewise, especially for hunters who mainly use swords.
There was a time when elementary school students’ No. 1 future wish was not even a hunter, but Son Si-woo.
Yoon Si-hoo is an adult who went through adolescence and grew up during that time.
A passionate young man who once hoped to become like Son Si-woo.
Therefore, the answer was decided from the beginning.
There are still many things that are puzzling and difficult to understand.
“… I will do it!”
He accepted.
And I decided.
I will definitely overcome training that is so hard that I feel like I would be better off dead.
“Okay, okay.”
Kim Do-jin smiles with satisfaction as he glimpses the will in the eyes that burn with a bright light.
“Then I guess I’ll have to vomit three times?”
“Ah…”
A face that rots away in no time.
I had forgotten that the ordeal of death started from today, not from when.
* * *
Once you say something, you must keep it.
That is my creed.
Oh, of course, only when training.
As announced in advance, Yoon Si-hoo vomited exactly three times.
The first time he vomited up what he ate for breakfast, and the second time he vomited up his lunch.
In the end, there was nothing to spit out, so I just kept spitting out bitter gastric juice.
“Three, three times…, I vomited.”
Whisk!
And then he collapsed.
With the words that I did it.
He looks down at the fallen guy with a lot of vomit on the corner of his mouth and leaves an unheard of comment.
“… “You really do this.”
When I was at the peak of my training, I only vomited twice.
“Well, okay.”
After being severely abused, she carries the fallen boy over one of her shoulders and walks away.
As I was walking down the hallway to roughly drop it off at my dorm, a familiar face walked out from the other side.
“Ah, senior.”
This is Jin Ha-rin.
Like Yoon Si-hoo, he is the only apprentice guild member in our guild and his childhood friend.
She approaches me with her head slightly lowered, and when she looks at my shoulder, her eyes widen, and she is astonished.
“Sihuya… ?!”
What…, It had to be that way since my childhood friend was brought in unconscious.
“Uh, what happened?”
“I just did some training.”
“Training… “You mean?”
Army frowning slightly.
“Did your senior teach you Sifu himself?”
“Okay. I plan on doing that for a while. Ah, it just worked out well.”
She hands Yoon Si-hoo, who was pressing her shoulder heavily, to Jin Ha-rin, who looks puzzled.
“Could you please take him to his room and lay him down? If possible, keep an eye on him and give him some water.”
“Ah yes…”
“Which…, If it’s okay, please wipe your mouth too.”
“Mouth? Why is your mouth…, Ah.”
The forehead becomes more frowned than before.
Seeing her nose twitch, it seems she took charge of it too late.
The smell of vomit creeping up from his face.
Anyway, it went well.
No matter how much I am, it would be a bit weird to even wipe away traces of vomit from a man outside the house.
“It must have been difficult because it was your first day, so junior Harin please take care of me. Lover…”
“Senior.”
The temperature immediately drops at the word lover.
Turn your horse around quickly.
“… “It’s not true, but we’re at that level, right?”
That’s strange.
I think I felt the threat of death from this guy who was much younger and weaker than me.
Is it an illusion?
“Ha…, All right. Thank you for teaching me, senior.”
“Not much to say.”
“Then I’ll go back. “Senior, please rest too.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After bowing and bowing, Jin Ha-rin goes back the same way she came, supporting Si-hoo.
“… It’s so strange.”
That female junior is just as strange as Yoon Si-hoo.
“They are too attached to be friends, but they also firmly deny the idea of being lovers.”
I wouldn’t be managing a fishery with that personality.
Well, the relationship will be established among themselves.
“… I guess I’ll have to think about it a bit.”
In fact, today was almost a reckless training.
It’s just a step to test the guy’s will before full-scale training.
Now that I have figured it out, I need to make a brief schedule on how to teach.
If you teach every day like today, no matter how much of a hunter you are, your body will get hurt.
“I’m embarrassed.”
Other than that, it’s my first time teaching swordsmanship, so I’m at a loss as to what to do.
What…, But it’s not a big worry.
Just as you can go anywhere, you only have to go to Seoul, if you work hard, you will find the answer.

Another day.
While the Twilight guild members who arrived a week earlier were spending their time.
“Welcome.”
“I hope you have a gracious time.”
The number of people entering the Vatican began to increase.
During the period when the altar meeting is held, the entry of visitors is strictly controlled.
That means that all who enter the Vatican now are those who want to participate in the Holy Order.
“Hey, look over there.”
“Where?”
“Over there! “Isn’t that guy ranked 3rd in America’s S class?”
“Wow, it’s real!”
“Oh my god. I never thought I would see that person in person… !”
Thanks to this, only the guild members were excited.
It is surprising to see people who are difficult to meet in real life appear in droves.
For several days, I was surprised and amazed by the people gathering together.
A new day has finally dawned.
A very historic day when the Holy Order was held.
They decorated themselves with the clothes they had prepared in advance.
A colorful, beautiful dress.
Unusual heavy makeup.
And even accessories that make their beauty stand out even more.
Female guild members who have become extremely beautiful.
On the other hand, Kim Do-jin became a machine.
“Dojin, how about me?”
“It’s pretty.”
“Hey, me!”
“It’s pretty.”
“How is your sister?”
“You are very pretty.”
A machine that replies that it’s pretty when asked how it is.
Of course, it was not an inertial answer.
It’s so pretty that’s all I can say.
Those who were fully dressed arrived at the banquet hall, lightly stepping on the long carpet.
And I was impressed.
“And…”
Elasticity pouring out at the same time.
It was that splendid and beautiful.
All the furniture and decorative elements placed where the eye can see.
A lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas are placed on top of it.
Above all, the people who freely come and go there and exchange greetings.
He enters there, comforting the slightly intimidated guild members.
When they sat down at a table in an appropriate location between the center and the outskirts.
As usual, the saint, decked out in a simple pure white dress, stands on the podium.
“Nice to meet you, brothers. “I am Sophia Saintes, the saint of the Vatican.”
Not a microphone, but a clear voice that resonates throughout the vast banquet hall through pure white magic.
This was a signal announcing the full-scale beginning of the Holy Order.
