Chapter 225 – Dispatch Missions (5)
*
Lunch tasted not bad. If you eat it, you need to clean it up.
From the kitchen came the clatter and the sound of running water.
I started clearing out the leftover dishes on the table. I gathered the leftover food in one place and moved to the kitchen with bowls with various seasonings.
A woman was standing in the kitchen, which had a modern atmosphere just like the living room.
“Whoa… I feel like I’m being stopped because I’m with that human.”
“Who are you talking about?”
“I’m going to show off at least a sign.”
She was Park Hye-ji, who took a deep breath and managed her expression like when we first met, but she already felt like bursting into laughter for no reason, perhaps because I often saw her like this and that.
She just thought she was a proud girl from a rich family, but maybe it’s because she has a stronger fighting spirit than I thought and has a lot of clumsiness.
He seems to have a good personality and doesn’t feel bad.
As she put the bowl from the table down next to her, Park Hye-ji, who was wearing her rubber gloves, gave her a look and started washing her dishes again.
I thought all of her rubber gloves were the same color, but instead of the usual pink rubber gloves, they were dark gray.
Park Hye-ji: Her arms are thinner, so I don’t know if it’s because of it, but it felt bigger than her normal size.
‘Did they even make a custom order?’
Since she only has 2 men, I have a feeling she might be. Still, I don’t think Choi Tae-soo will wash the dishes.
She was going to bring the rest of the bowl, but it must be said that something kept her eyes on her.
As if she hadn’t had much experience like this at first sight, her clumsy movements caught my eye somehow.
“Should I?”
“This is no big deal, you should bring the remaining bowls.”
“Once I knew.
It doesn’t matter if you say you’re fine.
I don’t know why, but why does it seem slower than others?
As she brought her leftover plates and bowls, Park Hye-ji, who hadn’t made much progress, caught her eye.
Should I say that she keeps looking at her like a child put out by the water?
I don’t know what it is, and it looks dangerous, so I feel like I’m about to drop one.
“This is the last one.”
“Let you rest there. I am my grandfather’s granddaughter, but you are a guest.”
I am grateful that she said that she would suffer, but why is she so concerned?
“If it’s oily, it’s better to clean it with warm water.”
Watching him rinse with cold water several times, I silently changed the water to hot water.
“That…That much I know.”
“Yes. Yes.”
“What is that pissed off voice from before you!”
After saying that, Park Hye-ji suddenly took a deep breath and calmed down again.
“You have nothing to do. Go see your grandfather.”
Well, it’s too late for that now.
She is kicked out of her kitchen because Park Hye-ji tells her not to disturb.
Even if it’s slow, I’m doing it meticulously, so I’m sure you’ll do well.
When I moved to the living room, Kim Jeong-ho was waiting for me. I thought I had something to say, so I watched quietly, and the guy gestured.
“Master is waiting. Follow me.”
*
After passing the pond we saw earlier and entering the building, a large training ground appeared.
A space that looks bigger than the outside. It seems that this side is also a kind of gate.
On the flat floor, Choi Tae-soo stood still in the center wearing an improved hanbok.
“Master! I brought Kim Si-woo.”
“Oh yes. You’re here. Didn’t Hyeji come with you?”
“I’m still washing the dishes.”
“I see. I called you.”
Choi Tae-soo muttered that, then threw a sword that was next to him.
The sword in its scabbard flew right in this direction.
It was a good quality weapon or a well-balanced weapon. The sword is surprisingly a weapon with an important center of gravity, but this one had a good balance.
The grip is not bad either.
“I want to check my skills.”
Choi Tae-soo begins to warm up with a friendly smile. In fact, there is no request, and I wonder if this was the purpose.
Kim Jeong-ho blocked Choi Tae-soo, who made a loud noise and began to warm up in earnest.
“Master!”
“Jeongho. Why are you like this?”
“How can a mere cadet dare to face Master! I will teach him fear!”
“Haha…”
He was told that he was the only disciple, so he wanted to see his skills.
I even sent a slightly annoying look. As he was warming up with the intention of checking his skills, Choi Tae-soo sighed and said,
“Don’t push too hard. We don’t want to hurt each other.”
It wasn’t Kim Jeong-ho, it was Choi Tae-soo who looked and spoke. It looks like it wants to see me.
“Don’t worry! A kid like that doesn’t have to show his skills!”
Kim Jeong-ho is beating his chest, thinking that he is talking to himself.
Well, you should warm up before the fight. If anything, Choi Tae-soo, perhaps because he intended to stop him, took his seat while maintaining an appropriate distance.
Kim Jeong-ho, who took his posture and glared at me, looked at the knife I was holding with a questioning gaze.
“Why don’t you draw your sword?”
“Why?”
“This… This guy!”
Kim Jung-ho came running towards me in anger, as if the light provocation had no effect.
To be honest, I thought it was a joke just by looking at the outside.
He seemed quite capable just by looking at his gait.
With each step he took, he bounced forward while keeping his overall center of gravity from collapsing.
Did you call it martial arts like Choi Tae-soo’s disciple?
Maybe he was using the footsteps from Martial Arts, and his gait seemed normal, but the distance shortened at once.
I felt that he was using his magic in a different way than normal hunters.
The moment the magical powers moving from the inside suddenly gathered in one place, Kim Jeong-ho shouted the government.
Kim Jeong-ho’s fist is more powerful than he thought he was.
It feels like normal guys would get hit right away by a fist that comes in one tempo fast.
That’s normal guys.
Was it because he was only dealing with monsters in the meantime? I could see the boy’s movements clearly.
Thinking of Choi Tae-soo, I thought about whether to continue the workshop to some extent, but should I say it was a bit cheeky?
I sheathed it in line with the guy’s movements.
A movement so secret that he couldn’t even react.
Weapon distance was a very important factor in combat.
There are many advantages to simply having a longer weapon than your opponent.
If there are many obstacles around, such as in the jungle, and there are no obstacles to swing, most of the time, a weapon with a long range is advantageous.
Did he give the peasant soldier a spear for no reason?
The shorter the range, the more things you need to pay attention to.
It seems that he was so immersed in his own attack that he couldn’t react to my sword.
My scabbard touched the pit of the stomach first before his fist could reach it.
“Keugh..”
It wasn’t using magic, but when the inertia that came out was added, the shock was strong, so the guy collapsed.
“Whoa… Whoa…”
“Hmm…”
Is it because the winner and loser are decided so blandly? Kim Jung-ho’s expression was not good.
“Ah…Still.”
I stared at Kim Jeong-ho, who stumbled and stood up.
If I had used magic, he would have known that he had just died in vain from that blow.
“I was too careless…”
Checking Choi Tae-soo’s face, he quietly nodded his head.
‘You mean to defeat it for sure?’
It’s a crueler inspiration than I thought.
Well, I don’t think that’s too bad to know exactly where you are.
Let’s beckon lightly with a still relaxed face. Kim Jeong-ho quietly raised his mana.
Unlike before, Kim Jeong-ho’s magic began to turn more fiercely.
Compared to Choi Tae-soo, it was still lacking, but there was a similar feeling to some extent.
Stepping on the advance, concentrating his mana, and like before, he shouted out the power and released the condensed mana.
It wasn’t a big deal, but the power was so great that it couldn’t be ignored.
How much effort did it take to use it like that?
Even if it looks easy, it was never easy to use the technique with one movement without delay.
Minji also put a lot of effort into using the nuclear punch properly, and he is still growing.
However, battles don’t go the way you practiced.
__Pain!!!!
An intense rupture sound came from where I was.
The power was certain, but if it didn’t fit, it would be meaningless.
“Up… Up?!”
Kim Jung-ho confirms the day he avoided his fist and once again pushes the regime.
He smiled as if he was certain of victory.
Because in general, you can’t change direction while in midair.
__Pain!!!
“Ah..”
Contrary to his expectations, his fist cut through the air again.
Through the artifact, he became accustomed to running in the sky, and through magic, he created a thin wall and twisted the direction in the air.
It was the moment to pay the price for the failure of the attack.
The last guy’s expression was complex and subtle.
Not just an expression of defeat, but an expression of despair.
A subtle expression that makes you feel sorry for nothing.
__Pak!!!
Before he collapsed, Choi Tae-soo, who was next to him, ran and grabbed him.
“Thank you for listening to my request.”

After laying down the fallen Kim Jeong-ho, we were walking towards somewhere.
“I hope you don’t hate Jeong-ho too much.”
“…”
Park Hye-ji, who finished washing the dishes, was standing next to her.
“The boy is my friend’s son. He lost his parents at an early age.”
It was common in those days, as people who were victimized by monsters still came out frequently.
“They say they watched as they were mercilessly butchered right in front of their eyes. Fortunately, they were rescued…”
Choi Tae-soo swallowed quietly.
Having personally experienced the pain, I could fully understand what it felt like.
“He’s still trembling. He’s just acting like a porcupine pushed to the edge of a cliff to set up thorns to hide his fears.”
Maybe that’s why he became more obsessed with Choi Tae-soo and sharpened his edge?
It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.
Choi Tae-soo let out a long sigh.
“I thought this was necessary one day. It seems like it came a little sooner… But don’t worry, I’ll take care of that.”
“…”
Park Hye-ji, as if aware of Kim Jeong-ho’s situation, remained silent with a heavy expression on her face.
I feel like I’ve become the bad guy for no reason.
“I’ll get through it.”
Because his fist wasn’t light. Taesoo Choi heard that and smiled.
“Anyway, you’ve arrived.”
When I checked the surroundings at Choi Tae-soo’s words, I saw something different from the gate.
A gate with a bizarre feeling that looks different from normal gates.
And the gate felt very familiar.
‘This..’
