Chapter 25 - Sword Master's Visit (2)
Actually, the first feeling that Sword Master felt was surprise.
The reason is none other than the bluish orb that is reflected in the Sword Saint's field of view. And it was because of the stupid guy holding the sphere.
It was not difficult to find out that he was the student Seoyoon picked this time.
But the problem is the sphere he is holding in his hand.
If the swordsman's senses were not wrong, it was clear mana.
It is also a form of mana clumped together.
‘That guy embodies mana?'
It was easy to shape Mana to the last.
Of course, this standard of ‘easy' was the standard of the Sword Master.
The majority of people did not, and in addition, that meant if there was a frame called a weapon.
Putting mana into a frame called a weapon and shaping it could be done by anyone with a little bit of talent.
It is what is commonly called the Auror Sword.
However, shaping it in the air without any frame was a slightly different story.
Mana is like the air scattered in nature.
In the first place, it was not easy to give shape to something that had no shape and to shape it.
And for the swordsman, ‘not an easy job' had to be seen as impossible unless he had exceptional talent.
But why the hell is this guy with such exceptional talent here?
What's more, there was no way he could have entered the dream academy even though he could say this with his mouth.
In the opinion of the Sword Master, there was only one reason for that.
“You bastard…”
As soon as the thought reached this point, the Sword Saint’s startled feelings subsided, and resentment and anger began to settle within him.
“What are you doing?”
The swordsman sprayed thick blood and grabbed Seo-joon.
Even the air trembled, this tremendous life force desperately informed the name of the sword star.
A state that even S-class hunters are in awe of. The swordsman didn't bother.
A guy who wanted to take advantage of his one and only granddaughter didn't need such mercy.
however.
“Isn’t it Sword Master? nice to see you. My name is Seojun Kim. I’ve only met him on the internet, but seeing him in person like this is new.”
For some reason, he seemed unconcerned.
To be precise, I was surprised at the fact that I was seeing the existence of the Sword Saint?
“But what happened here…”
I literally didn’t mind.
“Ah, did you come to meet Seoyoon? what about this Seo-yoon went out to see something earlier...”
Seo-jun even treats Geom-sung as if he were a close friend's grandfather.
“what? Mr. Seoyoon?”
The swordsman was dumbfounded.
Maybe that's why the swordsman unknowingly distorted his face and said.
And seeing the swordsman's appearance, Seo-joon asked cautiously, wondering if he had made a mistake.
“Uh… aren’t you here looking for Seoyoon?”
Geomseong quietly raised his eyes and looked at Seo-jun.
However, no matter how much I looked and looked, I couldn't find a single corner that stood out.
To be honest, I thought the mana imagery I just showed you might be a trick.
“Why are you not okay?”
Sword Master had no choice but to ask without even realizing it.
He would be the same, and the killing spree he had just scattered was actually the momentum he had brought out only for the sake of pressure.
It wasn't really life, but that's why you couldn't escape easily unless you were at the level of an S-class hunter.
However, no matter how you look at it, the guy reflected in the sword wasn't an S-class hunter.
If that was the case, there would be no reason for him to be here, and if he had been hiding such skills in the first place, there would be no way the swordsman would not have recognized them.
and true.
“yes? What are you talking about?”
Even Seojun didn't know that.
To be precise, it was only a little later that I found out that it was because of the effect of the immovable mind exceeding 10%.
In any case, Seo-joon felt strange and uncomfortable about the sudden arrival of the Sword Master.
Inconvenience.
The feeling that Seojun felt now was about uncomfortable.
“You bastard. say it right What is your purpose here?”
That's why the Sword Saint's suspicion continued to deepen.
“yes? What do you mean all of a sudden?”
“Anyone with your level of talent will be welcomed wherever they go. But what was the reason for approaching Seoyoon? You'd better be honest.”
And then, the swordsman exploded with a tremendous life force again.
And it was a different life than before.
It was only then that Seojun realized that Geomseong had a huge misunderstanding about himself.
Seo-joon hurriedly clapped his hands and said.
“No no. I don't know what it is, but you seem to have a big misunderstanding, but I just...”
“I didn't think I would open my mouth easily.”
‘danger!'
As soon as the words of the swordsman finished, the alarm bell sounded and the instinctive warning sounded.
Seo-joon desperately rolled on the floor without a chance to think.
Quick!
Then, the sword of Geomseong passed through the air to where Seo-jun had been.
It was only then that I felt the tingling sensation of death running down the nape of my neck and the cold sweat dripping down.
“Suddenly what...!”
Seojun hurriedly straightened his posture and looked at the swordsman.
However, the tip of the sword that the swordsman was holding seemed blunt.
Upon closer inspection, it appeared that he had wielded the entire scabbard rather than a sword.
It seemed that he was trying to subdue Seo-joon, not to kill him.
‘Suppression... is it right?”
The problem is that when a swordsman wields a scabbard, it can no longer be called a scabbard?
On the other hand.
‘You reacted to that?'
The swordsman was quite surprised right now.
Of course, I had no intention of killing him from the beginning, and I did wield it lightly for the purpose of subduing it.
However, just because it was light to the Sword Saint, it was not light to others.
That's why the swordsman had no doubt that Seojun would be subdued with just one blow.
But now.
Seo-joon is watching this from a distance.
The spear was firmly held in Seo-joon's hand when he picked it up while dodging.
“You bastard. What is your identity?”
“I don't know why you're doing this all of a sudden, but it's a misunderstanding.”
“It's not enough to embody mana, just show that kind of movement and misunderstand...”
Sap!
“You talk nonsense so well!”
Kang!
“Keugh!”
Didn't see. I didn't even feel it.
Literally the blink of an eye and the rushing attack of the swordsman.
The attack of the swordsman, who did not know how to block it, was really different from Lee Jun-hwan.
Geomseong didn't know why he was suddenly acting like that, but Seo-joon thought it was necessary to calm him down.
“I don’t know what Seoyoon said, but calm down first…!”
“Yeah man!!!”
However, the swordsman became even more angry and pressed Seo-joon.
Somehow, it seemed that he had made a mistake, but no matter how much he thought about it, Seo-joon couldn't figure it out.
“Still, I tried to keep the situation in my hands...”
It seemed that the swordsman had no intention of resolving this situation through dialogue.
According to the media, I heard that the swordsman's personality is not up to this level.
‘I don't know.'
Seo-joon gripped the spear he was holding tightly and took a combat stance.
It didn't look like the swordsman would listen to him, and in fact, it didn't look like the swordsman would kill Seo-joon even if he said that.
That would also be true, if Geomseong really decided to kill Seo-jun, the moment Seo-jun confirmed the existence of Geomseong, Seo-joon should not have been a person of this world.
The swordsman had enough skills to do so.
The idol of hunters and an S-class above the S-class.
The sword star of heaven and earth.
In a way, he is the closest thing to Seo-jun's dream.
Come to think of it, when would the swordsman and weapon face to face like this?
Suddenly, Seo-joon's heart started pounding.
‘That guy... his momentum has changed.'
Geomseong looked at Seo-jun's changed eyes.
Eyes that do not die even though he knows that he is a swordsman.
These days, when I saw guys shrugging their shoulders saying that they were pro hunters, the swordsman wasn't even full of hope.
If you bring them back to the Cataclysm era, they wouldn't survive even for 3 days and would fall to their deaths.
In fact, it had to be.
Professional hunters raised in peace and Awakeners fighting in a cataclysm where survival was mere low-level farmland.
There was no way the current professional hunters would be caught in the eyes of the Sword Saint.
Even so, the swordsman did not deny the trend of the times.
First of all, the Sword Saint himself wanted this kind of peace, so he struggled for decades.
It wasn't that I didn't like it, but it was something I regretted.
Of course, there were some special ones among them.
However, he had only seen one Swordsman so far who looked at him and looked at him like that.
‘What are you hiding?'
That's why the suspicion is getting thicker.
The swordsman put a little sincerity into the sword he wielded.
Fuck!
Kang! Cacan!
“Kuk!”
Seo-joon let out a moan without even realizing it.
It was simply blocking the flying sword, but I didn't feel any sensation in my hand holding the spear.
Seo-joon repeated the blow that the Sword Master had just shown.
Looking at it from the outside, it was just a single blow that rushed in a straight line, but in Seo-joon's eyes, it felt like a huge mountain was approaching.
‘I can't even see it.'
Seojun was able to gauge the level of the swordsman with just one clash.
It was such a distant sky that I wondered if I could really approach it.
Seo-joon changed his goal.
It would be rude to even dare to mention the level of swordsman Seo-joon now.
‘How far can I reach now?'
If so, what is the difference between the current Seojun and the swordsman?
Seo-joon tightly gripped the spear he was holding.
It was the first time I used a spear today, but somehow familiar sensations flowed through my fingertips.
I closed my thoughts on Seo-joon.
Thought was not necessary for the five senses to accept.
as it flows as the senses lead.
Tadak Seo-jun thrust his spear at the sword castle.
Caang!
However, Seo-jun's attack is lightly blocked. Seo-joon immediately responded by retrieving the spear.
But the swordsman didn't just watch it.
Fuck!
“Gagging!”
Kwa Dang Tang!
With the terrible pain felt in his side, Seo-joon rolled on the floor.
The pain was so severe that I couldn't tell whether it was from a sheath or a blunt instrument.
It occurred to me that I might have broken a rib.
But in that dizzying pain, Seo-joon was able to realize.
‘This... isn't it.'
Something is missing.
I know that I can't reach the Sword Saint. Still, this wasn't it.
It wasn't like this.
Seo-jun immediately rose from his seat as the cloud hit the floor.
Then, without a chance to breathe, the Sword Saint rushed in.
No tricks or tricks work.
Geomseong is now looking after Seo-joon a lot.
So just once.
bet it all at once
But how?
Right then.
Merlin's words from earlier echoed in his ears.
[They use mana to deceive the world with their personal will. Bringing things that are only a person's imagination and descending into reality as if they were the laws of the world.]
Merlin calls this ‘deceiving the world.' expressed that
A twisted reality created by strong belief.
Seo-joon twisted his whole body with all his might.
Then, a terrible sound came out of the muscles twisting and bursting.
Seojun bit his teeth and endured the pain.
Then, the Sword Master's sheath passed past the tip of his nose.
Seo-jun straightened his posture by bouncing his back, and at the same time Seo-jun could see the gap in the sword castle.
I don't know if it's really a gap.
However, Seo-joon thrust his spear at the Sword Master without hesitation.
And I drew it while recalling the sensation of making the mana sphere just before.
‘Cut it.'
The image of himself cutting off the sword of the Sword Saint.
That moment.
A bluish aura began to emanate from
Seo- jun's window.
It was hard to notice, and at the same time, tremendous power began to circulate through Seo-jun's body.
A strange feeling that you feel for the first time.
Paaang!
A terrifying sound followed.
“Cool!”
Seo-joon collapsed, coughing up blood.
In the end, Seojun's spear could not reach the swordsman.
but.
Sarak.
“That's just...”
The swordsman looked up at his right hand.
Slightly cropped sleeves.
Geomseong turned his gaze back to look at Seojun.
“Aww...! It hurts.”
For some reason, he didn't fall down even though he hit the counter properly.
This was something I could never see as a student.
The swordsman shouted.
“You bastard... you're finally revealing your true nature!”
And Seojun was dumbfounded at the appearance of the swordsman.
Even though it's a swordsman, it's not like this.
Seojun also shouted.
“What is nature! Wasn't it the swordsman who attacked without hesitation! Ah... It hurts more when I say it. When the hell is Seoyoon coming?”
Quick.
The reason of the Sword Saint was cut off even momentarily.
“Come on... If you want that, I'll give you a special life-and-death decision.”
A swordsman who suddenly exudes a thicker life force.
Seojun looked at the slowly approaching Geomsung.
‘It's ruined...'
He prayed earnestly for Seoyoon to come back soon.
that time.
After leaving the academy, Seoyoon was heading straight to her hometown.
It was to talk to his grandfather, the Sword Master.
The reason is none other than Seojun.
I wanted to keep hiding it if I could, but I couldn't hide Seo-joon's existence anymore since he appeared in the academy contest.
If it is a reality that we will face someday, let me face it first.
That's how Seoyoon arrived at her home.
however.
“My lady, what are you going to do with this? Moonju is out now.”
“Ah... may I know when you'll be back?”
“That's because you don't have anything else to say. I think Elder Seo would know... Shall I contact you?”
“No. I'll come back next time.”
Seoyoon came out of her parents' house with the thought that she felt regretful but at the same time fortunate.
And back to the academy.
“Sir Seojun, is he still training?”
Seoyoon opened the academy like that.
However, Seoyoon left a question mark at the sight.
Because of the sight in front of Seoyoon who opened the door.
Kwaaang!
A huge explosion sound.
“Cuck!”
It was because it was Seo-jun, who was sprawled on the floor.
“What are you doing?”
Seoyoon tilted her head and asked Seojun.
Are you training?
Of course, the appearance of Seo-joon now did not seem like he was training.
However, considering Seojun's appearances so far, Seoyoon thought that it could be enough.
However, the answer he heard was far from Seoyoon's thoughts.
“Seoyun! Welcome! Please stop this one!!”
“Is this the person?”
At Seo-jun's strange words, Seo-yoon tilted her head once again.
And when I was about to open my mouth to ask what that meant.
“Yeah man! Can't you tell me the right way!”
A familiar voice came from somewhere.
Seoyoon turned her head in the direction the voice came from.
and stand tall.
At the same time, Seojun shouted.
“no! It's not like I'm hitting Go-Stop, what the hell are you asking me to say from earlier! I have to say something, so I say it rightly!”
“This guy is still!!”
Kang! Caan!
Fuck!
“Ah!! Stop hitting me, really!”
Seoyoon looked at all those scenes.
“Ha grandpa?!”
Only then did I understand the situation.
