Chapter 16
Episode 16. Bald sword and lead sword (3)
‘Endure.’
Among the many ways to prevent a sword attack, the one Seo Yong-ho chose was a perfect defense.
“To stop it?”
Baek Woo-jin smiled leisurely and took a swordsmanship stance.
“omg!”
The moment Seo Yong-ho looked into Baek Woo-jin’s eyes, he felt a chill. These are eyes that see through all of your thoughts. I felt like I was going to get hit if I didn’t rush in right away.
“Ugh!”
-Be patient! If you go now, it’s over!
When Seo Yong-ho could not hold back and was about to attack Baek Woo-jin first, Baek Myung-hoon’s voice was heard.
“Ah…”
Baek Myung-hoon is right. He himself cannot keep up with the speed of Baek Woo-jin’s swordsmanship. The moment you attack, you will end up like Kim Un-sik holding his temple.
“Uhm…”
Seo Yong-ho bit his tongue and strengthened his defensive stance. If you can withstand Baek Woo-jin’s first attack, you will definitely win.
“You’re more patient than I thought. Or did your brother send you a message?”
The smile on Baek Woo-jin’s mouth grew deeper. It feels like it doesn’t matter what Seo Yong-ho does.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Baek Woo-jin took a step forward and pulled out his sword. It was a faster and stronger swordsmanship than the one used on Kim Woo-sik.
‘come!’
Seo Yong-ho wrapped the aura around the iron core inside the training sword and strengthened both arms to prevent the sword from breaking. I don’t know anything else, but I am confident in my strength and tenacity. I will survive somehow.
Bah!
Even though it collided with Baek Woo-jin’s sword, Seo Yong-ho’s sword did not break.
‘done!’
Seo Yong-ho was confident that he had perfectly blocked Baek Woo-jin’s swordsmanship. If he attacks Baek Woo-jin, who is now defenseless, he will win this match.
“uh?”
However, something completely different from what Seo Yong-ho expected happened. His own sword, which had blocked Baek Woo-jin’s sword, was pushed back and was flying towards his head.
Bye!
Seo Yong-ho was unable to handle the force of Baek Woo-jin’s sword and hit his own head with his own sword.
“Kkuek!”
Seo Yong-ho screamed at the pig and fell backwards. I completely fainted from one unexpected blow. Blood flowed from his head.
“Ah…”
“What…what…”
“What just happened!”
The practitioners who were sitting and watching the sparring suddenly stood up. It is hard to believe that Seo Yong-ho, who is known for his physical strength, was pushed out of power and fainted with just one hit.
“What on earth is happening….”
Min Seung-hyun couldn’t understand this situation. Seo Yong-ho is the one with the best strength and stamina among his trainees. It didn’t make common sense to be pushed back even after taking a defensive stance in advance.
“uh?”
When Min Seung-hyeon turned his head with blank eyes, he saw Baek Woo-jin pointing his finger at the next trainee.
“Now just a moment!”
Min Seung-hyun approached Baek Woo-jin and blocked his path.
“why?”
“I think it would be best to stop here for today. Not yet…”
“The instructor said that sparring doesn’t end easily. “Are you unable to keep what you say?”
“That…”
Min Seung-hyun wanted to go back in time and smack himself in the head. Since I told Baek Woo-jin that he had to deal with 5 people, there was no way to stop him.
“Because I’ve already chosen the next person. Get out of the way. “There’s a perm on there.”
Baek Woo-jin, who chose the third item of wealth, tapped his sword and laughed.
‘Once you start, you have to see to the end.’
-Sweet guy…
**
Baek Woo-jin defeated two more people. Of course, both of them are Baek Myung-hoon’s faction and are the ones who criticized him as a fraud.
-You are really amazing too. I thought it would end with just 3 people, but it really is over. Look at the instructor over there. I’m almost on the verge of crying.
‘You don’t know. This is a place where you can easily see it if you finish it properly. You have to be sure when you do it. Now they know too. ‘If you curse at me, you’ll get hurt.’
-Looking at the kids shaking and bowing their heads, your method may definitely be the right one.
Practitioners who sparred with Baek Woo-jin fainted or were taken to the recovery room. The remaining trainees all kept their heads down to avoid being picked on by him.
‘The end was decided from the beginning.’
-I guess I know who it is.
Baek Woo-jin raised his finger and pointed to the person in the last row of trainees.
“brother. “It’s been a while since we had a fight.”
“good night.”
Baek Myung-hoon, who was nominated by Baek Woo-jin, stood up immediately. Since being attacked by Baek Woo-jin, he has been taking swordsmanship classes that only direct descendants can take. I was confident that I could crush something like that.
“Master Tao?”
“You can win.”
“But…”
Min Seung-hyun approached with a worried expression, but Baek Myung-hoon pushed him away and stood in front of Baek Woo-jin.
“I thought you were going to run away?”
“Why should I run away from a fool who can only provoke others?”
“Who was it that got beaten twice by that idiot?”
“Ugh….”
At Baek Woo-jin’s lightly teasing words, Baek Myung-hoon’s expression changed to that of a murderous murderer. The eyes look like they want to kill Baek Woo-jin right away.
“There is no need for a full statement between us. “Let’s get started right away.”
Baek Woo-jin and Baek Myung-hoon took a step back after sparring.
Ugh.
Baek Myung-hun used aurors from the beginning to activate his body. Through special training over the past month, I have been able to handle Aurors naturally.
-Your brother has also grown a lot during that time. Your family’s talent is certainly great.
‘okay. Amazing. But…’
Baek Woo-jin swallowed the words that his efforts were greater and took a sword-fighting stance.
“Ha!”
Baek Myung-hoon charged at Baek Woo-jin with his sword in the middle position. Because he used footwork, his speed was as fast as the wind.
Sigh.
Baek Woo-jin waited for Baek Myung-hun to approach his range and drew his sword.
“I thought so!”
When Baek Woo-jin’s sword came out, Baek Myung-hun’s feet made a gentle movement. He stepped back and was out of Baek Woo-jin’s attack range.
“I won!”
This was when Baek Myung-hoon raised his sword and was about to strike Baek Woo-jin.
“Probably not.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled.
[Rhasadum’s auror characteristic ‘Black Wind’ is activated.]
Huh.
A black wind fell on Baek Woo-jin’s sword and whole body. Baek Woo-jin turned his body to the right, escaped Baek Myung-hoon’s sword path, and used a horizontal slash.
“You only use your feet!”
“When did I say I only use foot swords?”
“profit!”
Baek Myung-hoon’s eyes grew so big that they seemed about to pop out. Baek Woo-jin’s sword swung towards his temple. I tried to retrieve my sword and stop it, but it was already too late.
“Damn it….”
Sigh!
Baek Myung-hun was thrown to the floor with the sound of his bones breaking. As expected, he fainted in one hit.
Sigh.
Baek Woo-jin put his sword in its sheath and lifted Baek Myung-hun, who was putting his head on the ground.
-I can’t believe you’re happy that I dodged the sword even though it wasn’t. Tsk tsk.
‘That’s right.’
As the darkness said, Baek Woo-jin’s first attack was a fake for the second horizontal cut. It wasn’t a sword or a nail, it was just that the sword was drawn quickly.
-Your brother is very talented, but he is an idiot.
Baek Myung-hoon was playing on Baek Woo-jin’s palm from the beginning.
Sigh!
Baek Woo-jin pretended to support Baek Myung-hoon and hit him on the back of the head.
“Didn’t you just hit the master in the back?”
Min Seung-hyun, who was running to check on Baek Myung-hoon’s condition, opened his eyes in embarrassment.
“No. “I guess you saw it wrong.”
“No, obviously…”
“No.”
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin smiled brightly and handed Baek Myung-hoon over to Min Seung-hyeon.
“We filled 5 people today, so we’ll do the rest tomorrow.”
“And my tomorrow?”
“The instructor said that sparring shouldn’t be finished easily, whether you lose or win. “I have to fight with trainees at least once.”
“No, that’s…”
Min Seung-hyun shook his head. If he catches up with this monster, there will be no disciples left. Every day, 5 people will be taken to the emergency room.
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled at Min Seung-hyeon and turned around. As he was about to return to his usual training area, a clear notification sound reached his ears.
Ding!
[It completely took away the motivation of the sparring opponents.]
[100 points were awarded.]
There were no quests for this sparring, but points were suddenly awarded.
-What is this?
‘I know what it is.’
-Really?
‘I once received points for shocking you.’
-ah!
‘I think I got it for the same reason.’
It seems that points are not simply received through quests, but can be accumulated through other people’s reactions, such as recognition or surprise.
“If you use this well….”
**
Sigh!
As Baek Woo-jin’s sword technique became faster, the sound decreased. When I first used Balgeomjutsu, there was a sound of the wind cutting, but now there is almost no sound.
-good night. Good posture, good angle, good speed.
“Why is this a one-sided compliment?”
-I only tell the truth. Your swordsmanship is beyond your realm.
Darkness told the truth as it felt. Baek Woo-jin’s kicks and horizontal cuts were improving day by day, so there wasn’t much to nag about anymore.
-Now it’s time to put your will into action.
“will?”
-What were you thinking when you swung your sword until now?
“I guess I thought it had to be quick.”
-What makes it more clear is the will.
Darkness was speaking much more slowly and seriously than usual. This means that what I explain now is really important.
-I didn’t expect you to grow this fast…
“That was a lot of help.”
Baek Woo-jin grinned and looked at the darkness and the practitioners in the distance. Over the past time, I have been sparring with them and correcting their shortcomings.
-In any case, a sword filled with will has a completely different power than a sword filled with only thoughts. Will is an essential element for a swordsman who walks the path of ten thousand swords.
“It’s here again. “10,000 swords.”
-Reread the quest you received. You said you would make Geomro yourself. Now that the shell is complete, it’s time to fill the filling.
“I think I know roughly what you mean.”
I felt like I knew what the darkness was talking about. It seems like you should put your own will into it when swinging the sword.
“Then it’s a sword technique. “Is it better to be fast?”
-That’s normal, but haven’t you ever broken or pushed away an opponent’s sword? It would be good to think of several ways.
“That’s right. It did.”
Baek Woo-jin practiced various types of swords and horizontal cuts while sparring with trainees. It is not easy to choose just one among them.
-This is not an easy decision to make, so think deeply.
“Hmm…”
Baek Woo-jin, who was resting his chin, raised his head and looked at the darkness.
“Of course. “Isn’t it okay to have both?”
-What?
“More than anything, it contains the will to be fast and destroy everything it hits.”
-Crazy guy. It would be extremely difficult to do just one, but you want to pack two?
“It’s not impossible.”
Darkness shook its body as if it were dumbfounded.
-It’s not impossible, but it’s very difficult! This sword technique…
“I don’t know. I will do it. Because the mountain I’m aiming for is ridiculously high. “Even if it’s a little slow, I’ll go high.”
-…You sometimes leave me speechless.
“You have to be greedy. “I’ll take both.”
Baek Woo-jin nodded and walked to where the trainees were.
“Hi!”
“Oh here it comes! “It’s coming!”
“monster! “The monster is coming!”
As Baek Woo-jin approached, the trainees became busy. He lowered his eyes to the floor and darkened his face like a patient.
“Instructor.”
“omg! “Master Do.”
“We have to spar today too.”
As soon as he heard Baek Woo-jin’s words, Min Seung-hyun’s eyes trembled. I can’t figure out why they keep coming to me and asking for something to eat, even though I’m hitting them all with just one kick.
“Well, there are too many patients today, so I’m going to take a break from sparring.”
“Kolok kolok.”
“Ugh….”
“Ah….”
Min Seung-hyeon pointed to the trainees. They suddenly coughed, clutched their waists, and let their wrists go limp.
“You saw it. The condition of the trainees is not good. Today I will only do simple exercises. ha ha ha!”
15 days have passed since Baek Woo-jin began sparring with trainees. During that period, all the trainees were beaten by Baek Woo-jin.
The trainees started a game just by hearing Baek Woo-jin’s footsteps.
“is that so? That’s too bad.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and looked at the trainee once in a while. The trainees who caught Baek Woo-jin’s gaze trembled in fear of being stabbed.
Because Baek Myung-hun did not come to the training, none of the trainees believed anything.
“young master!”
When Baek Woo-jin was about to return to his training center, Jeon Jun-hyuk came running holding a white envelope.
“Why are you running here?”
“The Public Prosecutor’s Office sent this to you.”
“The Public Prosecutor’s Office?”
The Ministry of Public Administration and Inspection is the agency responsible for the administration of Baekga. There was no way he would send an envelope like this for personal matters. Baek Woo-jin opened the envelope right away.
“A request?”
