chapter 69
69 – Be My Teacher
*
The first thing I learned about the sword was the magician.
They made me handle all weapons at least once, so I was able to use all weapons that could come out of martial arts, such as swords, spears, swords, bows, daggers, and maces.
Hyeolcheonmu is a martial art that is effective with any weapon, so I was able to manage it all, but there is no choice but to have a weapon that suits the body better.
The things that suited me particularly well were boxing and spearmanship. Still, I didn’t know when and what situation I would be put in, so I additionally trained my swordsmanship and memory skills.
And while fighting against numerous masters of the midfield, he was able to learn their swords and perfect his swordsmanship skills close to Hwagyeong.
In the world of Estelle, she developed further by absorbing swordsmanship specialized in dealing with monsters while dealing with those who use swords.
Still, it could be said that the place where my swordsmanship developed the most was definitely the world of Riera.
‘The world of swords and magic.’
As its name suggests, no other weapon exists. A world where everyone uses only swords or magic, where knights and wizards have vested interests, a place where more splendid cities are lined up than the earth where the magic empire exists.
In such a world, I couldn’t stand alone with a different weapon, so I also picked up a sword and improved my swordsmanship.
Befitting a world where only swordsmanship was developed among weapon skills, there were numerous swordsmanships, and while experiencing them, he tried to dissolve all the swordsmanship he had experienced in Moorim and Estelle’s world.
It was easier than I thought, probably because I had the experience of learning spacecraft spearmanship, which is a compilation of all spearmanships in the world.
My method is Muk-roe-Buk-ryeok Shin-gong, so it took me five years to create my own swordsmanship by melting down the characteristics of the other two worlds swordsmanship with martial arts as the basic base.
‘Yuwon Sword (悠遠劍)’
A swordsmanship made with my name on it. Except for me, I took out the swordsmanship that only Riera had learned, and held it up towards Jin Soo-hyeon. It’s been a while since I’ve used swordsmanship, so it’s a little awkward, but after swinging it a few times, I got the hang of it.
[Acquire the skill Yuyuan Sword.]
“Shall we start soon?”
Jin Soo-hyeon also swings the sword he is using for the first time a few times, and soon begins to wield it as if it were his own.
“There’s no need for any restrictions this time, right?”
The other day, we sparred with the restriction of not using Aura Blades. It was annoying and at the same time I wanted to hide my power, but it didn’t matter anymore.
“Yes.”
The video of me smashing Nidhogg’s head is going around the world, so it’s completely impossible to hide your powers now, so I’m just going to leave.
‘The future me will take care of everything.’
Besides the party, there were many hunters watching nearby, so Nidhogg’s level was spreading, so I can’t deny that I have s-class, especially high-ranking power.
It was only possible after I was prepared for death and forcibly pulled out the power of my time as a police officer, but I’m alive now, and I’m walking around just fine, so no one would think that.
“Jin Suhyeon, the head of the Jin family. Ask for Hansoo lessons.”
“Kim Yu-won. I accept the challenge.”
Since it wasn’t sparring to win, I didn’t bother to engage in psychological warfare by going out. First of all, Jin Soo-hyeon, who I don’t know any swordsmanship at all, took a stance and prepared to respond.
Certainly, I know the Jin family’s swordsmanship to some extent, so it’s easy to deal with it, so if Jin Su-hyeon moved first, there was a very high probability that a disadvantageous aspect would unfold.
It was the right decision, but on the contrary, if I don’t move, it’s also a situation where sparring doesn’t flow in a confrontation.
It’s okay to stay still, but since I’m in the same position as teaching him, I decided to just move first. He took control of the surroundings while stepping on the steps of Blood Cheonmu and swung his sword at Jin Soo-hyeon.
The Yuwon sword is a swordsmanship made with the skeleton of the Thirty-six Swords of the Chong Nampa. There is a herbivore in charge of all defenses, and it was made so that I could mix the tricks I wanted.
I was wielding the sword with the strength and the skill of pleasure that Namgung Sega values, and Jin Soo-hyeon countered my sword attack with a blade in his sword.
Zeng-
Swords collide with swords and a sound reverberates throughout the gymnasium. As the swordsmanship of the Jin family also values strength and pleasure like the Namgung family, it was not strange to hear such a loud sound.
Swords with the same technique, the same level of armament, and the same level of energy collided with each other, so the difference between swordsmanship and swordsmanship was physical ability and swordsmanship proficiency.
My strength, my stamina to back it up, and even the length of time I had been swinging the sword were much longer than mine, so it was natural for my sword to bounce off Jin Soo-hyeon’s sword and head for his neck.
“This is the first.”
Putting the sword on his shoulder, he announced the first victory in Dalian.
“That wasn’t an empty comment…”
Jin Soo-hyeon, who was deprived of victory in a single blow, raised both hands. Higher physical abilities are also helpful in swordsmanship, but if that were all, those who practiced swords would only train their bodies all day long.
Jin Soo-hyeon fully understood that the loss he had just suffered was due to the vast gap in swordsmanship. That his physical abilities are just helping.
“First of all, there was nothing to criticize about the sword attack just now. Perhaps thanks to the training he had been practicing, he responded immediately to the sudden sword attack and succeeded in performing his swordsmanship without any mistakes.”
“Still, I was defeated in one blow without even being able to properly engage in sparring…”
It’s because I’m good at it, but Jin Soo-hyeon also had a problem.
“Is it okay if I call you Mister? That’s comfortable.”
“Yes. The title is fine.”
It was a bit inconvenient to call each and every one of them, so I asked, but they graciously agreed.
“At present, if an opponent with similar swordsmanship, armament, and physical ability is better than you, he will be defeated.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
There were many people who thought that way since monsters appeared on Earth and the time to build skills wasn’t that long. I think it’s natural to lose to an opponent who is superior to you.
“Is that really so? Then this time, I’m going to use my physical abilities weaker than you and my swordsmanship to a level similar to that of you, so let’s try sparring again.”
“Yes.”
The two of us spread our distance again and adjusted our posture. Jin Soo-hyeon’s physical ability is around the late 80’s. I directly limited my physical abilities to the level of my early 80’s.
I knew almost Jin Soo-hyeon’s level of swordsmanship, so I intended to only use it at that level.
This time Jin Soo-hyeon runs towards me first, whether it’s because he has an advantage or because I rushed first in the previous Dalian.
He comes to swing his sword at me, unfolding the family swordsmanship he has trained for decades. Frankly, there are infinitely many ways to respond here.
It was possible to give an anomaly with a swordsmanship that pursues illusions and changes, or it was possible to gently shed it with Yu’s swordsmanship. However, this is not possible for Jin Soo-hyun.
For a person who has trained only strong and delightful swordsmanship all his life, having him learn something new now is to make him go back even more.
So I tried to show him what he can do. Excluding the river, I responded to his sword with only pleasure. Because there are fewer things to care about, the sword became faster even though it was spread with the same level of swordsmanship.
My sword collided with Jin Soo-hyeon’s sword before it accelerated properly.
Still, since it’s a sparring with my physical abilities weaker than those of Jin Soo-hyeon, I couldn’t make him incapacitated with a single blow like before, but he must feel that I’m a little more superior.
After bouncing his sword lightly, I swung the sword at him, this time containing only Kang’s trick. The sword was considerably slower than before because it was not mixed with pleasure, but it was not completely slow.
Jin Soo-hyeon, who belatedly picked up the sword, responded. While he had time to adjust his stance, Kang’s sword collided with his with full acceleration, and this time, my side gained the upper hand and my sword touched Jin Su-hyeon’s neck.
If I had swung like this earlier, I would have been defeated because of my slow sword.
“How could this…”
“As promised, I only moved as much as you could, right?”
“Yeah… I’m sure what you did I could do too.”
There was no way he wouldn’t be able to recognize this when he reached the level of a sword master.
“The swordsmanship of the Jin family is a swordsmanship that contains the tricks of Kang and the tricks of pleasure, right?”
“Right.”
“It’s fast and strong. It’s very simple. And it’s because we’ve trained that simplicity to the extreme that it can generate such strong power.”
Because he is honest and honest, he can reach the level of ascension even without complex swordsmanship.
“If you’re strong, you have to be fast, and if you’re fast, you have to be strong. But the two are distinctly different. As I just showed you, you can give a big anomaly by focusing only on one rather than putting both together.”
If you always swing the sword in the same way, everyone will see through it. If the opponent is inferior to me, even if they are detected, I will be able to push forward and win with honesty, but on the contrary, I will never be able to win against a strong opponent.
“If you alternate between using strong, pleasant, and both strong and pleasant with the same swordsmanship, you will be able to use more power at the same time later.”
If you use one thing repeatedly, there will be additional enlightenment in that one thing, and of course it will be applied in combination even when you use both at the same time.
He put on an expression that he realized something, and just as I said, he continued to wield the same sword with different tricks. Jin Soo-ho wields a sword in a half-trance state.
I could feel that my swordsmanship skills were much better than before, even though I hadn’t wielded that much, probably because I was a genius like Jin Baekryong.
‘This is why geniuses…’
After coming to his senses like that, Jin Soo-ho took a step further towards the realm than before. The first thing he did was to get down on one knee and bow his head toward me.
“Please be my teacher.”
Now, following the son, the father also asks me to accept him as a disciple.
