Chapter 61 – 08. Training Camp Game
Sword and sword collided.
Koo Woo-!!
Metal. Nor was it the sound of wood or stone colliding.
It was magic attribute.
Lightly coated mana collided on the two blades, making a loud noise.
Magic was a very peculiar existence.
It does not belong to any solid, liquid or gas. Even so, it was an object that definitely existed.
And even with the same magic power, countless properties appear and disappear. That too, by the owner, the owner of magical power. Thanks to this, even the sound was invariably different depending on the case.
‘It’s not a joke, it’s heavy.’
Siwoo thought to himself as he deflected his sword.
It’s not just because of power.
The weight of the sword itself, the power of wielding it, and even the weight of magic.
It was so sophisticated that I couldn’t even imagine that he had awakened just two days ago. Is it because there is a good sample next to it? Baek Hye-yeon’s skill in handling her magical powers was so outstanding that it was incomparable to her first playthrough.
Thanks to that, Siu couldn’t escape the struggle.
‘Damn it…’
Since they first exchanged swords at the gymnasium, Siu and Hyeyeon have often sparred.
During breaks or during regular lectures.
Among the candidates for the hero, Siwoo was the only one who could match Hyeyeon’s unusually excellent swordsmanship. That was true even for former jockeys who hadn’t graduated yet.
If you want to expand the scope and get out of the warrior candidates, there may be instructors or member candidates, but the overall skills of the warrior candidates were not enough to receive lectures or train with them. Even so, it is ambiguous to attach training with an instructor.
In the end, the two men and women always had no choice but to exchange swords.
But the problem did not end there.
Hyeyeon’s skill development was too fast. In Siwoo’s opinion, it was more than the 1st playthrough.
Thanks to that, it was Siwoo who started to be pushed back by her.
Especially after she awakened her magical powers and was able to put her magical powers on her weapons, it honestly became a burden.
‘That’s not to say you can’t just lose…’
While Siu was out on her mission, Hyeyeon had to practice one-on-one or wield her sword alone. Even her instructors were reluctant to deal with her, feeling the burden of fighting her purely with her swordsmanship. Even if you win, it’s a match, and if you lose, there’s no shame.
I still haven’t forgotten the happy expression she made when we met at the gymnasium on the weekend and put her swords together.
“Gap!”
Siwoo came to his senses at the stinging words hitting his ear, but Hyeyeon’s sword was faster than that.
Fuck!
“Ugh…!”
Allowing her blow to her waist, he plunged her practice iron sword into her floor and apologized to her.
“Sorry.”
“…Are you okay.”
However, unlike the answer, Hyeyeon’s expression was not bright. She, of course, also tied her ponytail lower than usual, looking even more lethargic.
It wasn’t just because Siu didn’t focus on Dalian. Unexpectedly, there were often times when I thought about something else in the middle and couldn’t concentrate. Even so, she had never seen Hyeyeon in such a bad mood.
‘What?’
This time, even Siwoo couldn’t get the hang of it.
When he couldn’t seem to come up with an answer even if he thought about it alone, he briefly moved to Hwang Sa-yeon’s side.
Hwang Sa-yeon had no interest or talent in dealing with cold weapons, so she was resting in a corner after losing quickly. Her instructors also didn’t pay much attention to her, so she had no problems.
“Story.”
“Yes, go go.”
“…?”
“Why?”
“No, what…”
The moment she called me Gaga so naturally, I wondered if it was her original title, but it was definitely the first title she called today.
The word “Gaga,” Which was both familiar and unfamiliar, was somehow embarrassing. It also means older brother or older brother, but since it refers to a lover in martial arts novels, it gave him a strange feeling as he was single for a long time.
“Is there anything else besides Gaga?”
“Why? Isn’t it nice? I hear men like this.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it, what can I say…”
“Huh, are you ashamed?”
Seeing her giggling as if she had found something interesting in her, I got a whiff of her.
There is something else to be ashamed of saying that it is only Gaga. I’ve already lived with the word mamang in my mouth.
‘I do need to be a little more brazen.’
“No. I have more to ask.”
“Yes, ask me anything.”
Siwoo discussed her story about Baek Hye-yeon with her.
About a genius female swordsman who is in a bad mood for unknown reasons. In fact, Siwoo had no idea whether it was her prosecutor or the woman who was in trouble. She didn’t know that maybe she was a genius and she didn’t like something about her.
“Hmm…”
After hearing Siwoo’s explanation, Sayeon drooled with a worried look on her face.
“I’m not sure, but… I think it’s because of loneliness and alienation.”
“Loneliness?”
“Yes. I think I’ve seen cases like that in my hometown too. People who feel isolated from others because they’re so special. Usually, then, they don’t fight again because they feel defeated and humiliated.”
“Then…”
“Even if you lose, keep applying for sparring. Then you’ll love it.”
“There’s definitely a possibility… Okay.”
It was a satisfactory answer.
Hye-yeon is the type of person whose emotions show up on her face right away, so if this hypothesis is correct or not, tell her to go sparring now and you will find out. It’s good if it’s right, and if it’s not, there’s nothing to lose if you’ve erased one possibility.
“Then I’ll go.”
“Oh, wait a minute. Gaga.”
“…Yes. Tell me.”
After catching Siwoo who was about to go to Hyeyeon, Story looked around her for a moment. She did not see anyone eavesdropping with concentration, although some gave the two of them her eyes.
“So much to ask…”
“Is Gaga having her second life?”
“…Ok?”
Siu was taken aback. However, it was a question he hadn’t even thought of, so the response was rather late, so it didn’t show much. Looking at his expression, he was just making a foolish face, as if he was asking what kind of nonsense this was.
“No, that. I’m not an idiot… Among the candidates, there are people who joke like that. Actually, Gaga is a regression? Anyway, I wonder if she’s living a second life after returning from the future to the past.”
“…”
“Ugh. Don’t look at me so strangely! It just came to my mind and asked me. I don’t really believe it, do you?”
Siwoo was so shocked that he had no idea how to react.
However, thanks to Hwang Sa-yeon, who showed a cute appearance in a hurry, I was able to lightly laugh and pass it over. If she had asked her more seriously, she would have mistakenly showed a bit of embarrassment.
If that happens, the story is also a story, but someone might think it’s strange and notice it.
‘From Earth. Maybe you’re Korean Because I stood out too much.’
“Thank you for the compliment.”
“A compliment… Is it?”
“Doesn’t that mean I’m doing well?”
Hwang Sa-yeon tilted her head.
That’s right. However, if you look at regression, it also means that you will eventually go well through future knowledge and luck rather than talent and effort. It meant stealing an opportunity that should have belonged to someone else, but I didn’t care because it was my favorite.
“Gaga is really unique.”
“Haha. Thanks for the advice anyway.”
Siwoo smiled and went to Hyeyeon.
Inwardly, I thought about returning.
It’s very different from the general case, but anyway, Siwoo considered what happened to him as a kind of regression. In fact, there are not many cases where future knowledge and information have been used, and the influence of talent and luck suitable for this world has been great.
‘Still, the fact that others are jealous means that I’m doing well. Not bad.’
Of course, his dream is too far-reaching to be satisfied with this level.
Baek Hye-yeon squatted in her corner after her sparring with Si-woo.
Still didn’t look good. And she looked depressed too. Normally, after the sparring, she would be reviewing what had just happened and improving her swordsmanship.
“Mr. Hyeyeon.”
“…?”
When Siwoo approached and spoke to her, she was startled.
“Would you like to fight?”
“…Again?”
Contrary to her words, Hyeyeon’s lips trembled.
“No, I do not want?”
“Oh no! I do!”
She jumped up from her seat and shouted. Thanks to her, she caught the attention of the people around her for a while.
Hye-yeon blushed a little, but she didn’t care about the eyes of others, she ran to Si-woo and she grabbed his hands. Thanks to her, Siu flinched again, but seeing her bright expression made her feel better.
“I really like Dalian.”
“Uh, so you don’t like it…?”
“No way. Then I didn’t say let’s fight like this.”
“…”
Hyeyeon was strangely hesitant.
She seemed to have something to say, but she couldn’t open her mouth easily. The question itself might be rude, but it was because she really wanted to ask.
Earlier, she wouldn’t have known what she was thinking, but somehow Siu seemed to know now. Thanks to the advice of her story, she was able to know more about her Hyeyeon.
So he hit the ball.
“Mr. Hyeyeon.”
“Uh, yes?”
“It may not seem like it, but I’m happy.”
“Yes?”
“Hyeyeon-ssi’s talent is amazing. But I don’t intend to sit still either. I’ll do my best… I’ll try my best to catch up with Hyeyeon’s sword…Well, I might not be able to reach it for the rest of my life.”
Hyeyeon’s face went blank.
It was an answer that, for her part, she hadn’t even thought of. Even in this world, her overwhelming talent was even more exceptional on Earth. Thanks to this, after she had reached her age, few people wanted to share her sword with her.
So it was the first time. The person who tries to jump at me like this even after seeing himself moving far beyond his ability at a terrifying speed. Aside from dealing with swordsmanship or magical powers, respect came into being.
‘You really do a lot for me…’
“Oh, brother.”
“Uh?”
“Can I call you older brother…?”
“Uh… Yes, well. It doesn’t matter.”
“Please don’t say anything. There is no brother who respects his younger brother.”
“…Okay.”
Hyeyeon laughed at Siwoo’s answer.
Hwang Sa-yeon, who was watching the two of them from afar, laughed.
“Hmph. The two of you are writing a very love story.”
She firmly believed that she didn’t say anything out of envy of her relationship with Siwoo.
Until the lecture time was over, Siu and Hyeyeon continued sparring several times. Today’s win and loss were similar. Although he only fought with swordsmanship, Siwoo has a lot of practical experience. Thanks to that, I was still able to drive the win and loss similarly.
“Haa, tired…”
Siu was half-exhausted because he had sparred in succession without even thinking about it.
“If this was a morning lecture, I would have collapsed.”
Strangely enough, I was confident enough to have sex all day long, but my other stamina didn’t seem to improve.
‘I wonder if this is also influenced by Yin Qi?’
He took off his clothes in the dressing room while thinking about this and that.
He wanted to take a quick shower and go eat lunch.
Chunk.
As usual, Siwoo opened the locker, which he had left undressed, and he doubted his eyes at what he could see inside.
“… Elaine?”
I called the name of the woman in her locker and she put her finger to my lips with a warm smile.
“Shh. If you do something wrong, you’ll find out, Siwoo-nim♥”
Haha, the cover picture is here
