Chapter 53 – The Taker, the Taker (5)
That’s how Dayoon Nam greeted his parents, and since he was on the street, we tried to go into a nearby cafe.
“Sorry, noona, you have to go right away. Actually, I just stopped by to see Siwoo. Villains are doing very well these days…I don’t think I’ll be able to watch the match because I’m busy…”
“No, no, everyone knows that Dayoon Nam has been busy with construction work, and just having come to support our son will be a great source of strength. Isn’t that right, Siwoo?”
At Dayoon Nam’s words, his father waved his hand and said. I also nodded in agreement.
“Is that so? Oh, and you can talk comfortably, Siwoo’s father. You’re… Older than me.”
“Is that so?”
My father was smiling proudly, and my mother was making a strange expression. I looked at Dayoon Nam with eyes full of pride, trouble, and worry.
“…Well, there are couples who are older these days.”
Nam Da-yoon blushed at her mother’s quietly muttering words. His father was raising question marks.
So Dayoon Nam signed the monkey and left.
We got together for a while and then headed to the arena. There’s still over an hour left, but it’s not bad to start off well, well.
***
“There are so many people.”
Yoon Seung-ha said languidly. I nodded in agreement.
The stadium was full of people. The stadium, which can accommodate about 5,000 spectators, was so full of people from the entrance that it was difficult to set foot.
There were hot dogs at the hot dog stand, so I ordered a few and gave them to my party.
“I won’t eat.”
Monkey refused.
It seems that he is firmly attached to Yoon Seung-ha and only wants to show his pretty side. But I don’t like Yoon Seung-ha.
“Seungha likes a woman who eats happily. And she really likes hot dogs.”
“I will eat well, brother.”
He was a very quick-tempered guy. But he wasn’t eating happily, he was eating greedily. Her mother sighed as she ate, smearing her sauce around the corner of her mouth.
She looked at Yoon Seung-ha for a moment, laughing awkwardly.
White jade skin.
Shining silver hair, eyes that sparkled like stars thanks to the newly acquired eyes while awakening his abilities.
Even men look pretty. Even quite a few girls will fade if they stand next to him.
In fact, because of his appearance, he was targeted a lot by male villains with a preference for homosexuality.
Of course, I have no intention of targeting a man.
“Ah, cadets, please come this way.”
When we arrived at the stadium, an official guided us. There was a passage next to the main entrance to the arena.
“Then son, fighting!”
At her mother’s encouragement, I smiled awkwardly and replied that I would try my best.
“Seungha oppa, cheer up too!”
… I?
Well, I didn’t even expect it.
Really.
After the gorilla’s greeting, we entered one by one.
The place the person in charge guided us to was quite large, but there were already Lee Ji-ah, Lim Na-yeon, and Han Jong-woo. Strong South. Looking around, there are various weapons deployed. There are people who seem to be involved.
“What are those weapons?”
“Ah, those? If there’s a problem with a weapon among the cadets, it’s a deal to take it.”
Jiah Lee answered my question.
When I glanced at it, it was shiny and there were no traces of hand stains.
All were brand new.
“Can I try swinging this?”
“Yes, it will.”
He stretched out his hand and picked up the sword. Grap felt good. The balance was good too. As I gently tapped the blade with my hand, the sound resonated beautifully. It was obviously good quality.
It must have been because it was an item made by the earth fairies, commonly referred to as the dwarves.
Swish-
I also liked the sound of cutting through the air. I picked up ten daggers. There was a belt that could hold a dagger, so it wasn’t difficult to pack it. It’s a little uncomfortable.
“What is it, use a dagger? Those miscellaneous weapons won’t help you reach the level of ascension.”
Yoon Chae-rin said with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
Heights of ascension.
It means the realm of the sword force. A kind of realm that every hero dreams of.
The moment you reach this level, the treatment itself changes. Walking nuclear weapons, each comparable to a nuclear weapon, capable of destroying a city in less than an hour.
It’s hard to get there even if you only dig one weapon. Still, it might seem strange that I’m trying to use a lot of weapons.
“Because I don’t have ranged or mid-range attacks.”
He said while spinning a dagger in his hand.
Come to think of it, who am I going to fight this time?
The best was not the twin warriors and Eun Soo-ah.
My greatest strength is, of course, the art of using natural powers. It cannot be seen as a student level, and it is a skill that can be compared to heroes of the highest rank. Nam Da-yoon said it, so that’s for sure.
However, craftsmanship is not omnipotent. The part I am most vulnerable to is the overwhelming ‘power’ that can’t be helped with arts.
The ones who handle that power the best are Yoon Chae-rin and Eun Soo-ah.
Yoon Seung-ha is also picky. Unlike Jung-sa, he hasn’t mastered martial arts, but that’s why he’s more picky. Eyes with clusters of stars are good for avoiding attacks.
The best opponent is Lee Ji-ah at this point. Im Nayeon wasn’t bad either. Han Jong-woo is quite picky, but somehow it works.
‘Because my health is 20.’
Go to a long battle and somehow take off the armor and defeat it. To do that, an ax or greatsword with good destructive power isn’t bad either.
As I was thinking about this and that, I started to hear a beep-beep-beep sound from the electric signboard on the opposite wall.
[Stadium 1 duel]
[Yoon Chae-rin vs Eun Soo-ah]
Oh, it was fine from the start.
Yoon Chae-rin and Eun Soo-ah.
A confrontation between a soldier and a magic swordsman.
Eun Soo-ah, who uses magic and wields a seven-colored sword, is superior in power fighting, but compared to Yoon Chae-rin, Eun Soo-ah’s fighting skills are very poor.
Yoon Chae-rin is the one who can’t be overwhelmingly photographed with just one power.
Yoon Chae-rin and Eun Soo-ah trudged toward the stadium.
Starting with Eun Soo-ah, Lim Na-yeon, Lee Ji-ah, and Yoon Seung-ha also got up and left. Im Na-yeon was once again matched with Lee Ji-ah, and Yoon Seung-ha was matched with a student in another class. That’s how my acquaintances started to leave one by one.
Quietly. Glowing eyes hit the back of his head.
When I turned around, Han Jong-woo was looking at me with a burning gaze. I sighed inwardly. Jongwoo Han. From day one, he seemed to be in a hurry.
Han Jong-woo’s gang was also glaring at me. Starting with Kang Kang Nam, I saw 7 people whose names I didn’t know but whose faces were familiar.
I was already tired of fighting, so I sat down on a nearby chair.
“You already fight with Han Jong-woo? You fight with a middle-ranking kid after entering school, beat a strong man a month later, and fight with Han Jong-woo in the midterm exam? What kind of power did you hide and come in?”
I sat down and someone spoke to me. I could see dull blonde hair. Moderately handsome, subtle face. His black eyes were full of curiosity.
I know the name as well as the face. When you play as Yoon Seung-ha, you come out as his friend, and he was a valuable intelligence agent who asked all sorts of information.
The reason is very simple, because Jeong Han-seo is the 7th son of the guild leader’s cousin who leads the information group Yeonhwa.
‘It’s really strange to list it like this.’
Networking was a major problem in Korea. Jeong Han-seo’s ability is quite good. Later, he took Kim Ho-dong to Yeonhwa and was recognized for his meritorious deeds.
Although her family is inferior to Im Na-yeon, the only daughter of the chairman of the No. 1 company in the business world, and Han Jong-woo, the son of the guild master of Korea’s leading guild… Those two just have ridiculous backgrounds.
“Your name was…Jeonghanseo, right?”
“Oh, do you even know my name? Did I get recognition for my abilities? Or did you just memorize the names of all the students?”
“I’ll call it the former.”
At my words, Jeong Han-seo laughed pleasantly.
“Oops, I want to ask you something, can I ask you?”
“Yeah, whatever.”
It was Jeong Han-seo’s unique way of speaking. A way of saying that if you answer my question, I will repay you later. I have little to lose…
“I was really curious… Is that rumor true?”
“Rumor?”
“That’s the rumor that’s been spreading among kids these days.”
It was Jeong Han-seo who casts ‘that way’, one of the ways to make people angry.
Jeong Han-seo lowered her posture and came close to her ears as if she were talking about something extraordinary.
“That, the story of you straddling Im Na-yeon and Lee Ji-ah. Rumors like that have been circulating lately. Stories of Lee Ji-ah and Lim Na-yeon walking around together have been witnessed here and there-“
“What nonsense.”
I stopped talking and talked.
I could feel the eyes looking at me, as if they were blazing in the direction of Han Jong-woo. Never turn your head that way.
As I sat there, my name came up on the billboard.
[Stadium 1 duel]
[Han Jong-woo vs. Lee Si-woo]
***
The flames blazed and heated the surroundings. The earth trembles, the wind sharply claws in all directions, and the poison spreads thickly. He looked at the scene with eyes that glowed red.
“It’s pretty good.”
Saying that, he rolled his eyes. I saw a silver-haired boy with a languid expression. There were various spirits around him. A flame-shaped lizard that flicks its tongue, a falcon made of wind. A purple bipedal frog.
Her red eyes, which see the subject’s true nature, look at the boy, but are invisible. A cluster of stars around him prevented him from searching.
“The barriers are solid too.”
I groaned and looked around. Stadium 2 next to Stadium 1.
Kwaaaaa-
The space around it was distorted.
At the center was a seven-colored sword that glowed in seven colors. Faded white hair. I saw gold eyes shining with gold. Eun Soo Ah. Heir to the Ivory Tower. She was also one of the people of interest. If she grows up properly, she is an existence that can threaten the demon lord.
The person who opposes him was also not normal. Fluttering blonde hair and red eyes like hers.
Yoon Chae-rin muttered.
Heavenly Demon Shingyeol, minor magician.
His arms, like those of an island and a corn, glowed white. He waved her arm and began to erase the black flame that was heading towards her. As he wielded the seven colors, a beam of black light restrained Eun Soo-ah’s movements.
It wields seven colors and cuts through the space, but those beams are an attack that predicts and reports dozens of numbers, not just one or two. Little by little, Eunsua’s movements began to feel uncomfortable.
Audiences erupted in admiration and cheers. Those two were far beyond the level of a student. It wouldn’t be strange if he were active on the front lines right away.
“Sorry.”
However.
I was sorry for the blood. It is a powerful ability that shakes space, but the owner can’t handle it properly. From her point of view, Eun Soo-ah was being swung by that seven-colored sword. If she were herself, she would have applied it more elaborately and in various ways.
Or handling the sword like a sword master. The output of the seven colors will obviously drop, but if you have a superpower with that level of output, you can seriously injure yourself with just one brush.
Blood Demon turned her eyes and looked at Yoon Chae-rin. Each attack was sophisticated. Limit the number of opponents, increase your number. Some of the moves were crappy to him, but he had a few lessons to learn.
I licked my lips with my tongue. I wanted to fight.
‘… The moment I open my power, my life will be in danger.’
I glanced around. Although invisible to the general audience, fairies and spirits overflowed everywhere. It exists in the sky, and also exists in the ground. It existed even in the crowd.
… They can solve it somehow, but the biggest problem is the Fairy Queen.
She crossed her legs. She quietly closed her eyes. She forced her heated body to calm down. It was not yet time. When they’re a bit fuller…
“Ha.”
It was hard to bear because I was looking forward to that time.
Exhaling excitedly, I looked at Yoon Chae-rin and Yoon Seung-ha.
