Chapter 479 – Republic of Korea Academy (7)
*
Bone Smasher Choi Tae-soo, a name given to him because he crushed the heads of numerous villains.
Even when we first met, he suddenly shook his fist just for the sake of sparring, making us experience the overwhelming difference in force.
In response to Choi Tae-soo’s question, I told him about Kang Ju-ji’s condition, and he dragged me to the sparring hall.
To be honest, the moment he came to the sparring hall, I thought he would attack like fire, but contrary to expectations, he just stood still.
‘Have you lost your personality these days?’
Taesoo Choi silently looked at my body and let out an exclamation to himself.
“Hoo.”
Then he seemed to think for a moment and began to gather magical energy into his right fist.
‘That’s right.’
As expected, as I have the personality to look at things with my fists outstretched, it seemed like that would be the case this time as well.
Even so, isn’t it too much of a disadvantage for me to be asked to spar without a sword?
Well, even if that’s the case, there’s nothing I can do about it.
The moment he prepared to use his magic, Taesoo Choi took a light step and extended his fist.
Although the power was somewhat lower than his usual destructive attacks, I couldn’t help but feel nervous when he came in so suddenly.
__Kaaang..!
The magic energy wrapped around the surface of his arm collided with Choi Tae-soo’s fist, causing a heavy impact.
The power was reduced to some extent, but it was enough to stop it. Taesoo Choi lowered his arm for a moment in preparation for the next attack.
“?”
I was looking at the old man in a very nervous state, wondering if he was trying to get me to let down my guard.
Taesoo Choi just stood still in the same state as when he attacked me earlier.
“Then. “Do you even know the criteria for grading monsters?”
“You mean the grade?”
In general, the level of a monster was classified into the minimum level that could attack that monster effectively.
A C-rank monster can only be dealt with by a hunter with C-rank or higher magical power.
Sizes such as small and medium usually refer to the number of people.
Tae-soo Choi, who heard my answer, quietly moved his head without saying anything.
“Attack me with your magic power.”
Since the old man was rolling to the point of rolling, I didn’t really question it and just raised my magic power into my fist.
I was lost in thought for a moment as I watched the magic power begin to circulate rapidly and gather in my fist.
‘Should I seriously hit it?’
The old man also controlled his strength, shouldn’t I also control it?
If you hit someone hard for no reason, you might get angry and your fists might fly.
‘It’s probably highly likely.’
The moment I stretched out his fist with that thought in mind, Taesoo Choi grabbed my fist without any hesitation.
As expected, he defends easily.
Minji might not know, but I’m not particularly good at using my fists.
“Why do you think your attack didn’t work?”
“Isn’t it because I’m weaker than Choi Tae-soo?”
“Is the criterion for being weak based on magical power?”
“Yes?”
Although his magic power increased a lot, it was not comparable to Choi Tae-soo, an S-class hunter.
As I was about to answer, thinking I was stating the obvious, I felt something strange.
No flow of magical power was felt outside of Choi Tae-soo’s fist.
When strengthening the body, it was common to use magical power with the feeling of covering the entire area.
However, Choi Tae-soo blocked his fist without using his magic power.
‘I think it’s similar to Kang Ju-ju?’
As I was looking at Taesoo Choi with a questioning expression, Taesoo raised the corner of his mouth.
“Do you want to know how they did it?”
“… Yes.”
“Diamond Buddha Ingot.”
“… ?”
By Geumgangbulgoemyeon, do you mean a martial art that strengthens the body to neutralize the opponent’s attacks?
“There are two ways for a melee hunter to block an opponent’s attack. “This is the self-defense device you used to block my attack earlier.”
As soon as Choi Tae-soo finished speaking, a thin magical power enveloped his fist.
Although it was said to be a self-defense device, it didn’t seem to be much different from a regular barrier.
‘Well..Is it a little stronger?’
Taesoo Choi must have read my expression and cleared his throat a few times.
“What. “Generally, it’s called a barrier… But it’s not that important.”
It was a commonly used technique. I also used it to block Choi Tae-soo’s fist earlier.
Since you said there are two, is this the technique you used earlier?
“And the Diamond Buddha Ingot.”
“Are you talking about the Diamond Buddha?”
Choi Tae-soo explains in martial arts terms, like a muteultak, I don’t know much about that, but wasn’t it just that he had a strong body?
“You probably know that magic strengthens the body.”
“Isn’t that why awakened people are stronger than ordinary people?”
The reason why awakened people are superior to ordinary people is because magical power affects and changes the body.
Therefore, it can produce faster and stronger power.
But it couldn’t be called technology. It just happens naturally when Chaenae has a lot of magical power.
“I can see what you’re thinking.”
After saying that, he began to gather magical energy into his fist.
I felt a flow of magical power that seemed different from simply collecting it.
Taesoo Choi held out his hand without saying a word.
“?”
I was looking at him with a questioning expression. Taesoo Choi tells you to touch it yourself.
I didn’t want to touch the man’s hand, but now wasn’t the time to discuss such things.
The feeling I felt when I couldn’t help but hold his hand was that my skin felt like it was made of steel.
It wasn’t just that there were a lot of calluses, but the skin itself was hard.
“If you isolate the magic power in the magic power circuit and synchronize it with the body, you can instantly increase durability.”
“So..”
“Plus, in this state, there is an effect of dispersing the shock.”
Since I have never seen Kang Ju-ji release magical power, I think he may have been unintentionally using the Geumgang Buddha ingot that Tae-soo Choi mentioned.
Considering the amount of magical power it had, he felt like its ridiculous durability made sense.
‘It even disperses the impact.’
It was already hard, but if the impact was dispersed, I could see why the attack wouldn’t work.
“Hmm? It is not a particularly efficient technology. “It is a technique for defense rather than offense.”
It is said that it is a technology with more disadvantages because it cannot be effective unless the magic power exceeds a certain level, and the magic power cannot be released.
Choi Tae-soo himself seemed to prefer self-defense skills, but for Kang Ju-ji, it was a shortcoming that was not a big problem.
“Then how should I deal with it?”
“Well, wouldn’t it be natural to attack with stronger magical power? “Because a B-rank hunter cannot catch an A-rank monster.”
Attack with stronger magical power.
Kang Ju-ji’s magic power seemed endless, but was that even a viable option?
‘It’s impossible right now.’
“Is there any other way?”
Still, she is a transcendent expert who has experienced all kinds of hardships.
Wouldn’t Choi Tae-soo probably know a way?
“You mean with your bare mouth?”
“… “
Choi Tae-soo quietly raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes seemed filled with the will to win.
“It would be faster to experience it yourself.”
Magical power began to gather in Choi Tae-soo’s fist, and the momentum seemed unusual.
“You better give it your all!”
That’s how Choi Tae-soo’s ignorant education began.

[Save point loaded. ]
Are all people who use fists the same?
This was obviously before loading, but I still felt the throbbing sensation.
‘The speed was not fast..’
Nevertheless, the magic barrier I had created was shattered with one punch from Choi Tae-soo.
The magic power commonly called an Auror Blade was just wrapped around Choi Tae-soo’s fist.
It looked similar to a normal auror, but Choi Tae-soo’s auror surprisingly easily destroyed my magic shield.
‘But it didn’t look special.’
“Hehe, are you looking away in front of me?”
[Danger has been detected. ]
As soon as he could speak, Choi Tae-soo’s fist, the size of a pot lid, passed over his head.
If I had been a little late, I would have lost my mind again. I took a deep breath and glared at Choi Tae-soo.
‘It would be pointless to defend anyway.’
It is ridiculous to think that he would use his body to receive Choi Tae-soo’s attacks like Kang Ju-ji did.
It was more suited to my personality to clash coolly.
[Anti-demon: Activation]
A blue haze began to bloom.
It is a deceptive ability that can give you an advantage in all magical abilities, but it would be meaningless if the opponent is Choi Tae-soo.
‘I’m controlling my strength anyway.’
I extended my right fist to match Choi Tae-soo’s fist.
__Pajijijijijik!!!!!!
Sparks blooming between fists along with pain so strong that it makes your bones tremble.
Choi Tae-soo’s fist came closer and closer, crushing my magical power beyond the value of the anti-horse’s name.
Since it was a sparring session to teach, he is using a similar amount of strength as me.
Moreover, Taesoo Choi was fighting with less magical power than me on purpose.
‘You have less magical power than me.. But why am I not being pushed?’
If the amount of magic power was the same, it would be normal for him to be eaten by my anti-horse, but he ignored that and his magic power was grinding away my magic power.
“Haha! “You shouldn’t be so upset during battle!!”
“Gagging..”
[A danger has been detected. ]
Taesoo Choi’s fist stabbed his side while he was distracted.
I lost consciousness from the shock that resonated throughout my body.
“Haha. Hey. “I recently acquired this skill with great difficulty, but did you think I could teach it to you so easily?”
There’s no such thing as being so mean between us, right?
I could see Taesoo Choi losing his mind and raising the corners of his mouth.
“… See..Revenge..”
“This. “It looks like you made a mistake in controlling your strength.”
…
[Save point loaded. ]
“It would be faster to experience it yourself.”
“… “
“Hmm? “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“No.”
“You have quite a challenging look in your eyes. I’m like that too… “
“Gap!!!”
The moment Choi Tae-soo was angry at being constantly beaten and rushed at him, he instinctively stretched out his fist.
Perhaps because it was a reflexive fist, it contained unusual magical power.
__Kwagwagwagwang!!!
“No… Why are you suddenly rushing at me like that?”
Choi Tae-soo scratched his head as he looked at Kim Si-woo, who was knocked out by one of his punches.
