Resurrected Immortal 50

Chapter 50 – 050. Swordsmanship Dalian (2)

The most important thing in non-lethal sparring using a sword or a wooden sword rather than a real sword is the main element of ‘fighting in numbers’ accompanied by psychological warfare.
Dalyeon, in which defeat is acknowledged by incapacitating the opponent, rather than killing the opponent by aiming for a vital point, is a game conducted by competing with each other’s capabilities within set rules.
Since ‘murder’, in which people risk each other’s lives, is not the purpose, they have a personality similar to ‘sportsmanship’ or ‘athlete spirit’.
That’s why the most important thing is the number fight.
Knowing your own capabilities and the capabilities of your opponent, each predicts the other’s attack, blocks it, and counterattacks.
Through sparring with Erin, the first thing Eunhyeon wanted to imprint on Erin was this number fight and psychological warfare.
To be able to observe the opponent’s movements well, to understand and analyze what kind of attack they are making against you, where they are defending, and to take action in response.

Percussion!

Eunhyun and Alex’s wooden swords collided and started to make a light sound.
Starting with the first agreement collision, two and three swords collided with each other, and a fierce battle between the two began.
While checking each other’s level little by little with each other’s clashes, Alex was the first to attack.
Alex, who had lightly wielded his wooden sword until now, raised the mana in his body and increased the degree of strengthening his body.
Based on his overall improved physical ability, Alex increased his speed and began to launch a quick offensive toward Eun-hyeon.
Eun-hyeon calmly chased Alex’s sword, which began to speed up little by little with each blow, separation, and wielding of the wooden sword, cutting them all off.
The number of attacks gradually piled up, and from about the sixth sword attack, it was a speed that ordinary people could not properly follow.

“Wow, wow…”

Erin, who was watching the battle between the two, couldn’t keep her mouth shut and was watching her sparring in a daze.

‘I’ll let you go to your intentions too.’

Thinking so, Alex watched Eun-hyeon and raised his arm holding his wooden sword high.

“Ah!”

Realizing that she was a familiar sight, Erin gave a small sigh.
Isn’t it the same as Eunhyeon’s behavior with her during the sparring?
However, Eun-hyeon did not pay attention to Alex’s wooden sword and arm that had been lifted high, and avoided Alex’s bell slashing by striking the floor by moving his body sideways.
Alex’s wooden sword, which had been cutting through the air, hit the floor as it was, and Eun-hyeon’s wooden sword flew towards Alex’s neck, aiming for the gap created after the large-scale attack.

Percussion!

With a dull sound, Eunhyun’s attack was blocked.
Alex raised his empty left hand and blocked Eun-hyeon’s wooden sword with his arm, which had been strengthened by raising his mana.

“Keugh!”

Alex’s forehead frowned and groaned at the impact that was intensively strengthened and penetrated the hard hardness, but Alex quickly grabbed Eun-hyeon’s wooden sword using his left arm, which had blocked Eun-hyeon’s attack, and limited further attacks.
The wooden sword was caught, and the situation was impossible to take a defensive posture.
At the same time as Alex grabbed Eunhyeon’s wooden sword with his left arm, he used the wooden sword that had hit the floor to target Eunhyeon’s chin and tightened his right arm holding the wooden sword to strike him upward.

Percussion!

Before he could raise his strength properly, Alex’s wooden sword collided with something and bounced off.
Alex’s wooden sword, which had been missed, tumbled across the training ground.
Eun-hyeon kicked the blade of the wooden sword with her feet and bounced it off.
Alex’s gaze turned toward his own wooden sword, which had been thrown unconscious, and suddenly felt strange.
It was because the weight of Eun-hyeon’s wooden sword in his own left hand suddenly became heavy.
When he turned his head and looked at his left hand, he realized why.
It was because Eunhyeon let go of her wooden sword.
After taking his hand off his wooden sword, Eun-hyun, who had become bare-handed, burrowed into Alex’s arms in an instant, and leaned slightly over him, slightly pulling his left arm back.

“Ah!”

“Why, why are you like that?”

Feeling her familiar sense of deja vu, Eleanor sighed in fright, and Erin next to her asked in surprise.
Eleanor had seen her graceful pose once.
On the first floor of the Great Labyrinth of Archis, the same attitude in front of the Minotaur I encountered by chance.
Each process of pulling her one arm behind her, twisting her waist, and condensing an enormous amount of mana around her clenched fists is all the same as back then.
When she realized what attack she was about to make, she let out her groan in fright.
It was because what happened to the abdomen of the Minotaur that had been hit by Eun-hyeon’s attack was still vividly imprinted in her mind.
It was the same with Alex who intuited the danger.
Fortunately, it was not a technique that was used with physical abilities that were accelerated through time acceleration, so it was fortunate that Alex was able to recognize Eunhyun’s movements.
Even so, it was such a graceful and natural motion that I almost couldn’t react in an instant.
In just a few seconds, Alex felt as if he had goosebumps all over his body as he saw the enormous amount of mana condensed in Eun-hyeon’s fist.
Instinctively, she released the reinforcement that had strengthened her entire body, gathered all the remaining magic power in her body and concentrated it on her arms, then crossed her arms and took a blocking posture.
Eun-hyeon smiled as she watched Alex adopt the best defensive posture possible for her in response to her survival instincts shouting in her head.

“Oh, no!”

She screamed while watching Eunhyun’s actions in a panic, but her voice, which was close to Eleanor’s scream, did not reach Eunhyun and Alex’s ears.

[Juhyeonseong Polar Plain]
[Sammaebung Kwon (三昧崩拳)]

Eunhyun’s fist reached out toward Alex’s arms.

Paaang!

“Kyaaaaagh!”

A savage gust of wind fills the interior of the training ground, making a crushing sound as the air explodes.
The magic power concentrated in Eun-hyeon’s fist is released, and she starts to run wild and wander around the training ground.
When Eleanor and Erin, who were watching the match, were confronted head-on by a gust of wind that attacked them, they covered their faces and endured, albeit weakly, against the gust blowing from the front.
A few seconds later, after the fierce gust of wind died down, Eleanor lowered her arm that was covering her face and hurriedly looked for Alex.

“Oh, brother!”

“…”

The Alex Eleanor had been looking for was hard as a stone, her own arms that were guarding her unresolved.
Eleanor let out a sigh of relief that Alex was fine, but she broke into a cold sweat when she saw Eunhyun’s fists that were about to touch Alex’s arms.
She threw out her fist, but seeing Eunhyun’s fist stopped exactly in front of Alex, Alex also realized that Eunhyun had no intention of hitting this attack from the beginning.
But she was sure nonetheless.
If he had been hit by this attack, he would surely have died.
This thought, imprinted in my head, felt like I had glimpsed a part of Eunhyun’s powerlessness that I could never deny.

“Haaa…”

“Whoa…”

Alex and Eleanor, two siblings, sat down on the floor at the same time, breathing a sigh of relief.
Eleanor opened her axe eye, her astonished heart still not calming down, and her Eun-hyeon glared and shouted.

“Hey! Why do you really make people tremble! You knew your brother was hurt!”

“It’s noisy. You’re not hurt.”

“That’s right now!”

“Don’t be angry, treat Alex first. Her left arm, probably a bone, is cracked.”

“Yes?”

Eleanor asked in surprise and hurriedly pulled up the sleeve of Alex’s left arm to check her condition.
She looked at her red and swollen arm and noticed that the wound was caused when Alex blocked Eunhyun’s sword with her arm.

“Yukchamgoldan (肉斬骨斷)… You made a bold choice in that situation.”

Meaning she gave up her own flesh and cut the bones of her opponent.
Even assuming that his bones would crack, Alex’s willingness to give Eun-hyeon a shot was amazing.
It is very rare that they come out so aggressively, even taking their own damage, in sparring to test each other’s capabilities, not in a slaughter battle to kill each other.

“Even in Dalian, I don’t make such risky choices. However, I thought that if I was dealing with you, I would have to endure this much to outwit you.”

“Well, definitely. I didn’t know you could do that much.”

Eunhyeon calmly nodded his head.
Perhaps she assumed that she would be restored with Eleanor’s holy magic, so she thought about taking a little risk.
Eunhyeon turned her gaze to Erin, who was staring blankly at them, and spoke to them.

“How was it?”

“Uh? Oh that… It was great.”

“Someday you can too.”

“Really… Can I be strong too?”

“If you just try.”

Alex and Eleanor knew that the world is not something that can be achieved through hard work, but they do not dare to say it.
Eun-hyeon was creating an environment where Erin could become stronger if she just put in the effort.
Alex laughed in anticipation of how much the girl named Erin, who was learning under Eunhyun, could grow.

“Was a good experience. I will ask you often in the future.”

“Well, if your brother brings you often. There’s nothing I can’t do.”

“It’s noisy.”

Her remarks could have been misunderstood if others had heard them, but Eleanor, who knew that the reason Eun-hyeon called Eleanor was only to use it as a ‘recovery shuttle’, frowned as if she was very proud of herself.

◆ ◆ ◆

Recently, a subtle atmosphere has pervaded Aether.
The cause of that subtle atmosphere was the change of a commoner girl who thought they didn’t fit and treated them as foreign objects.
Erin, a commoner girl who has recently been a hot topic in a bad way, has shown a noticeable change in the past three months.
As if it were a symbol of poverty, the poor girl who couldn’t even eat properly began to have an enlarged chest, slender legs, and a slender waist.
She comes out and goes where she needs to go, and the matured girl transforms into a beautiful appearance that will not yield to any aristocratic lady, as if representing her shabby days when she lived with the label of a flat-faced commoner, attracting the attention of male students around her. Was receiving
Not only that, unlike his always weak and shrunken appearance, his expression, which allowed him to smile brightly and naturally, showed some composure of mind.

“Hey, commoner.”

“Huh?”

Erin turned her head, responding conditionedly to the now all-too-familiar “Calling to herself.”
A male student was standing in front of Erinn with two attendants following him.

“Tonight, after class, follow me. I will give you, commoner, the honor to spend time with me.”

“… ?”

Erin tilted her head as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.
It’s not just this one.
Recently, the percentage of male students who talk to her has increased, and at the same time, most of them have been making incomprehensible invitations to her like this male student.
Erin was just perplexed, not knowing why they were suddenly doing this.

“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit busy. I don’t know who you are, but I’m sorry.”

Erin, who was supposed to be training with Eun-hyeon tonight as well, rejected her male student’s proposal with a single stroke without a second thought.

“Oh, you dare refuse my offer?”

She didn’t know that she would reject her invitation, but Erin was taken aback when her male student, offended by her, blushed and shook her clenched fists.

“Excuse me… But I have something really important to do. I’m really sorry…”

“Noisy!”

As the deafening high voice enveloped the classroom, the atmosphere of the noisy classroom cooled and fell into silence.

“You don’t have a choice. The attendant will come to greet you after school. Follow me quietly.”

“Ah, I… !”

Erin, who couldn’t even call the male student who left her classroom leaving only her own words to say, shuddered slightly at the attention of the people around her in an instant.

“Eww…”

Erin, still unaccustomed to being in the spotlight, she let out a small sigh.

“Sheesh…”

Among the students who were looking at Erin with her unkind eyes, a female student clicked her tongue slightly as if disapproving of the situation.
Her female student, Marva Berman, who had a terrifying experience when a man with silver hair and red eyes invaded her while trying to harm her Erin, biting her own nails, aiming at her Erin like a thorn in her eye. I was watching.
