Chapter 283 – Blue Moon Stream (7)
*
As the steam rises, Park Hye-ji sits quietly and raises her teacup.
Choi Tae-soo was sitting in front of Park Hye-ji, who gurgled down the tea that refreshed her mind.
“Haha. So it looks like he lost in the end.”
“Grandfather! It was just a difference.”
“You haven’t forgotten what I said, have you?”
“You said you had to admit what you had to admit so you could move forward… “
It is the words of a person who is called the history of human victory, so Park Hye-ji bows her head in the end.
While most hunters who did not have the 2nd awakening cannot cross the B-class wall, Choi Tae-soo is a person who has reached the S-class, so the weight of the words must be different.
“I thought I could win if I went to close combat… But now I’m not sure.”
Unlike Yoon Seo-ah of the past, who was always pointed out as a weakness in close combat, she was skillful in countering compared to before.
Previously, she was often seen breaking down when her distance decreased, but now she continued to maintain her composure without it.
It was clear that she had gained a lot of experience during that time.
“Okay. She must be Seung-ah’s child after all.”
Choi Tae-soo lifts a teacup with a hearty laugh in front of Park Hye-ji, who looks somber.
“You don’t have to be obsessed with beating someone. I just need to go one step further than I was yesterday.”
If she continued to move forward, she would meet a wall if she was a human being.
When she faced a limit, when she wanted to give up, she continued to challenge without giving up because she was not impatient.
“If you feel impatient, people will collapse. I’m still doing well, so don’t worry too much.”
“Yes… Grandpa.”
Choi Tae-soo smiled at the sight of Park Hye-ji lowering his head, as if he thought it was just empty words.
“Haha. It’s not just words. In fact, compared to me in the past, you are far ahead.”
“Am I…?”
“Okay. When I was the same age as you, I was one of those ordinary hunters who had nothing special.”
“Nonsense. Are you Grandpa?”
Choi Tae-soo muttered with a faint expression, as if he remembered his past.
At that time, Choi Tae-soo was just one of the hunters who narrowly exceeded the average.
“Really. At that time, I was just a little bit better. Maybe if I fought you now, I would never win.”
There was a time when he was blinded by jealousy when he saw hunters who were better than him, so he could fully understand why Park Hye-ji was like that.
Compared to herself then, Hyeji Park now is a nobleman. Well, that level of jealousy can be a driving force for growth, so I can say it’s okay, but isn’t the direction important though?
He had watched countless times how even those who were advancing well fell and went to the goal in an instant, so he only wanted his granddaughter to do better.
“Hyeji, you are one of the few students I accept. Don’t be in too much of a hurry. Chuckle.”
Park Hye-ji scratched her head, perhaps not knowing that she would be praised by Choi Tae-soo, but her eyes were lively, unlike before, as if she had won her heart in her own way.
“That’s right. In the end, it’s me who wins. Yoon Seo-ah and Lee Da-eun will eventually come under me.”
“Okay. Keep trying. Chuckle.”
I didn’t want to see him get hurt, so I hoped he wouldn’t become a Hunter, but with that level of talent and passion, it couldn’t be helped.
“Ah. Right. And I met Siwoo Kim. Hmm… I don’t know, but the atmosphere was stronger than before.”
“Ohh?”
Choi Tae-soo, whose eyes sparkled when Kim Si-woo’s name came out, did not show off a skill that surprised even himself, whether he had perfected the swordsmanship he had once challenged.
At that time, the swordsmanship he had experienced in a strange dimension was still lingering in Choi Tae-soo’s memory. Come to think of it, did Kim Si-woo say that he stopped the two of them at the end?
“It seems that your magic power has increased, but it still isn’t as good as mine, right?”
“Is there anything else besides that?”
“… “
Park Hye-ji, who narrowly opened her eyes at Choi Tae-soo’s reaction, who was more active than when she was listening to her own story, and Choi Tae-soo, too, smiled sheepishly, perhaps recognizing that they were too excited.
“That… I’ve helped her learn swordsmanship, so I’m just curious about her achievement. Hyeji As you know, don’t you know that I am interested in various parts..”
It is a symbol of reverence for other hunters and an object of fear for villains, but in front of Park Hye-ji, he was just an ordinary grandfather who loved her granddaughter.
‘I guess I’ll have to go see him sometime.’
Of course, he is a grandfather with a bit of aspirations for martial arts.

Did the old man come because he had something else to do? I wonder if Park Hye-ji came to visit me because of what she said the other day.
This time, it was Choi Tae-soo who chose the DIA training room as the place to meet, as if he wanted to have a quiet conversation without informing others.
It’s a space that’s only available to the top 5, so I can’t come here unless Seo-ah or Da-eun accompany me, so I can say it’s a suitable place.
Still, I’m not even an academy cadet, so can I use this place?
“So what are you doing again? If you’re asking me to become a disciple… “
“Her. If anyone sees me, they will think that I am someone who didn’t ask because I couldn’t make a disciple.”
“Wasn’t it?”
He cleared his throat once or twice at my question, then put on an expression that said nothing.
“Well, in the past, you had a strong desire to raise them, but you seem to have decided on your own direction.”
Choi Tae-soo scans my body as if he sees through everything.
“There’s no need to force it on a guy who’s already going well.”
“Is that so?”
Well, after I entered and came out of the rift, I hardly ever told him to become a disciple, was it the influence of the Cheongwolcham I saw then?
“It’s just that I’m curious about the achievements.”
“Are you talking about fulfillment?”
“Okay. It’s my personal curiosity. From what I can see, it seems to have gone through a metamorphosis.”
Can you feel that from the outside? I don’t know if it can be called a metamorphosis, but compared to before, the magic circuit has become stronger, and the energy has changed neatly, so if that’s the case, it would be.
“Something similar..”
“It’s interesting.”
Choi Tae-soo muttered that while looking at my short circuit. As if facing a beast in front of him, Choi Tae-soo’s eyes were shining.
“There are many things I want to ask, but isn’t it the way warriors communicate with this rather than words?”
While muttering that, Choi Tae-soo thrusts a fist as thick as a lid on a pot.
Choi Tae-soo’s hands, which had numerous traces of training, were rough and rough. Choi Tae-soo’s hand, with calluses on every joint, how many villains he must have wiped out with that hand.
“Is that so.”
Well, it wasn’t too bad for me. In fact, he could say that there was no opponent as good as Choi Tae-soo.
How many people would I be able to deal with without difficulty even if I tried my best? In that sense, Choi Tae-soo was the best opponent.
“Okay. Tell me if you don’t like it I have no intention of forcing you.”
I don’t believe it at all even if I say it while glaring at it with that expression, but well, I felt my body heat up at the thought of fighting Choi Tae-soo.
It is a good opportunity to confirm the realization gained from watching the battle between Seo-ah and Park Hye-ji.
“Chuck. After all, it’s a fun kid. He doesn’t shrink from me at all.”
“What. Do you want me to kill you?”
After the light joke, the air around them suddenly changed. A rough and sharp energy began to press down on all sides.
“You will have to do your best. I mean, I want to do it right.”
Choi Tae-soo glaring at me with the eyes of a beast, I wonder if he intends to become as strong as he has grown. A feeling of pressure incomparable to what he had fought in the past began to weigh down on his body.
Indeed, even I was slightly trembling, perhaps because of the name value of being one of the best hunters in Korea.
But I didn’t mean to be so easy on myself. I took a deep breath and felt the tremors lessen.
The opponent is Choi Tae-soo, and using a sparring weapon would be an act of ignoring him. I pulled the sword from his bracelet.
“It’s an unusual sword.”
“Yes. I got lucky.”
Blue Star Blade, a blue sword that increases magical efficiency.
He started crying as if he wanted to cut something right away, but the person in front of him was none other than Choi Tae-soo.
Choi Tae-soo, who still had a relaxed face, must have thought of waiting until he was ready.
[ Arcane Mana Sim: Activate ]
[Unique Area: Enabled]
The purpose of Callis’s purpose of creating a passage through which mana came from outside was circulated through her body, but it had the advantage of being able to use external power quickly.
A double-edged sword with the risk of being adversely affected by its power.
Because he had to fight demons, he was probably more dangerous. The unfiltered aura is probably mixed with the power we call Magi.
Why was he still obsessed with it?
‘The reason why he is called a hero.’
His strength in defeating the demons was highlighted, but the reason his name remained in history was because he dealt with them almost alone.
It wasn’t that he didn’t have comrades like Matilda, but he often had to fight alone at critical moments.
What should I do to face the majority alone?
‘I’ll have to hide my existence.’
As I created a flow through the simbeop, darkness settled around me.
It lowers the night sky to obscure its own existence and confuse its opponents.
It must contain the desire to become the moon that shines alone in this land full of evil.
“It’s an interesting technique.”
I still wanted to use Choi Tae-soo’s relaxed voice and big skills, but I couldn’t give him a chance in front of Choi Tae-soo.
A blue moon suddenly appeared in the sky and flashed.
A skill that hides itself in the thick darkness beneath it and approaches the opponent in an instant.
Cheongwolbo.
“It’s a blue moon…”
While Choi Tae-soo’s gaze was sold, he quickly moved backwards, aiming for the gap.
And the moment you try to attack the back with a sword.
“You may need to hide your life.”
Choi Tae-soo turned his head precisely in my direction.
“… !”
