… … When was it?
– Aren’t you sick of that martial arts novel?
While I was on duty, a superior I had known for nearly 10 years asked me.
Don’t you ever get tired of reading martial arts novels while on duty every day?
– Wouldn’t you get sick of it if you read it for nearly 10 years?
– There are times when I get tired of it. But every time I watch it, there’s something new.
– Oh, right. Why do you like martial arts so much?
– Hmm… Because it’s overflowing with romance?
– Romance is frozen to death.
– Even you, my brother, have been doing duels or something for over 10 years. Don’t you ever get tired of it?
– Ma! Duel is the essence of what touches a man’s heartstrings, the essence!
– Oh, yes… .
They say that like-minded people stick together.
Thinking back now, both he and my boss were probably eccentric.
Still, he considered himself better than his boss.
That’s because while he himself enjoys a variety of genres, including not only martial arts, but also webtoons and romance novels, that gentleman is someone who only sells first-generation cards until he’s sick of them.
He says he only recognizes the first and second generations or something like that… .
Anyway, as the boss said, it was true that he preferred the martial arts genre over other genres.
Let me give you a reason.
– Because it’s refreshing.
It’s refreshing.
People said that they envied what they didn’t have, and he liked strangely cheerful knights.
Don’t worry about anything. Just go straight ahead and do what you want to do.
Live in the present rather than worrying about tomorrow, and live every minute and every second with all your might, worrying about getting through each day rather than fearing death.
So that when life ends, you will have no regrets.
How refreshing and dazzling it is.
… I couldn’t.
A life where I was always timid, lacked confidence, and was just being pushed around.
What a reed-like life this is.
So, he envied the lives of the chivalrous men in martial arts novels who lived for chivalry rather than for the rich or powerful.
Because there were no petty excuses in their lives.
– So, you like the main character?
– No, I just envy those who chase after heroes in martial arts novels.
Yeah, he wasn’t a good protagonist in a martial arts novel.
I longed for the life of a swordsman, and it seems that it has become the ideal that I have always dreamed of deep in my heart.
So I muttered often.
– If there is a next life, then I will not make any cowardly excuses and just live as my heart desires.
– Would you like to try it now?
– Then, can I set fire to the battalion commander’s office?
– … Hey, that guy already has bald head, why bother?
– Hehe, that’s true.
If there is a next life, I will not live like I do now.
what.
“Hmm, wouldn’t it be nice to beat up your superior?”
At the end of his life, I think he achieved the ideal he wanted.
He, or rather, Lee Han, who had become the same age as me in my previous life, looked forward and thought as he moved forward.
Is he really living as he wants, just as he said he would in his past life?
“… Do you know?”
However, Lee Han soon dismissed this as a useless worry.
The act of worrying itself is not chivalrous.
Just remember this one thing.
‘I will do what I believe is right, and I don’t need others to judge my actions.’
In the end, there is no right answer.
Who but God knows what repercussions this act will have?
So, this is an act of pure self-satisfaction.
The responsibility also lies solely with you.
widely.
Lee Han finally stopped walking.
It wasn’t that I stopped with the intention of stopping moving forward.
All he could see was a wall like a castle blocking his way, and at the main gate there was an iron gate that looked stronger than the wall, so he wondered what to do.
There were two options.
Either jump over the wall or shout.
But I don’t like any of those options.
It’s provoking the nobility. If that’s the case, shouldn’t it be a little more heated?
So he.
Thud thud.
“huh?”
“what?”
“Stop where you are and identify yourself, this is the Tristan House.”
The soldiers guarding the iron gate gave a sharp warning.
As expected from a prestigious family.
Even the soldiers were elite, had a high spirit, and were ready to attack him at any time.
But still.
“Hey, didn’t I tell you to stop!”
Lee Han continued to move straight ahead without stopping.
Like a truck with broken brakes.
And from that state, my steps became a little faster, and eventually I started running.
“Hey, shoot your arrows! There’s an intruder!!”
Ddangdang!!
The soldiers aimed their bows as the bell rang to warn of intruders in the night.
Sniping without hesitation.
It was great.
If you were under me, I would have gladly given you a vacation.
But unfortunately, there was nothing he could give right now, and the current him was simply.
Taang! Taaang!
“Hey, Bow!?”
“What, what is that!!”
Because they were just raiders trying to break through them.
All the arrows that were aimed straight at the body bounced off.
It didn’t bounce off the armor.
The bow was thrown out by the intense pressure generated by him running at full speed.
He was the one who ran as if he was tearing through the wind, and he was like that.
Phew!!
It flew up.
“━!”
He was floating in the air like a high jumper, and he ran the five meters in one breath and extended his fist towards the iron gate blocking his way.
It’s not like I’m a hundred-step-sin-kwon or anything, it’s just taking power with all my might.
And that fist.
Kwajijik!!
… … It unleashed a force that blew away a door made of lumps of iron.
Kwaaaaang!
“… … .”
“… Am I dreaming right now?”
The soldiers stopped attacking and just opened their mouths stupidly.
no….
Why does that break with a punch?
“… Phew, the hinges seem to be a bit rusty. I should take better care of them.”
“… … .”
“why?”
“her…….”
It was Lee Han who shamelessly gave advice while releasing his wrist, and the soldier let out a hollow laugh.
Frontal assault.
The third choice that Lee Han presented was a shocking one in many ways.
* * *
The Marquis Tristan’s mansion was spacious.
It’s not just a large mansion, it’s a jaw-droppingly huge mansion, and there are five farms surrounding it, as well as a large garden for raising horses.
The number of servants is said to easily exceed 2,000, so this was more of a village than a mansion in name only.
What’s even more shocking is that this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the enormous influence and wealth of the Tristan family.
After all, Tristan is a skilled precious metal mine operator with five trading companies.
For them, running a mansion like this wouldn’t be an exorbitant expense.
And with such vast wealth and influence, Tristan’s mansion was likened to a fortress.
A fortress in the shape of a mansion.
Dozens of elite soldiers are on constant standby, patrolling the entire mansion in shifts.
Archers stand tall on the high walls, ready to shoot their arrows at any moment.
As for the entrances that are located everywhere, they are blocked by iron doors that were commissioned directly from the mysterious race of dwarves.
Even if the soldiers were defeated, it was common sense that there would be no way to get past the main gate.
… … But now, that common sense has collapsed.
Phew… .
An absurd sight, with the entire iron gate torn off.
What are they looking at now?
The soldiers gradually gathered, lighting up the surroundings with torches, and were able to share information about the situation.
“What, what is this?!”
“Did a large monster come attacking?”
“Beware of ballistas! There might be a ballista nearby!”
The soldiers began to think and prepare to respond in a very common-sense manner.
The iron door was torn off by a surprise attack by a ballista or large monster.
Otherwise, there’s no way that door would be torn down.
It was just common sense, and they had no idea that one man could have done this.
But soon.
“… No, this is not it.”
“??”
They were able to find out who was responsible for this outrageous act.
… … Unknown muttering.
But the intruder spitting this out seemed to be dissatisfied with something.
Do you ever feel regretful about attacking the Marquis?
If that’s the case, then I welcome it.
Please give it some consideration even now….
“If you’re going to pick a fight, do it properly.”
“… … .”
It didn’t seem to be the case.
The soldier looked into his eyes as he muttered.
The light in his eyes was quite clear.
Wince!
The soldier suddenly felt goosebumps and a sense of crisis as if he had to run away at any moment.
As expected.
Kwajik!
“Dodge as you please, if you don’t want to die.”
“… … .”
The soldiers saw.
The brute strength of the man who lifted that enormous iron gate with one hand!
The expression on the soldier’s face turned pale as he remembered that it had taken more than ten men to open the door the day before.
Once again, there were more and more people who doubted if this was a dream, but unfortunately, this situation was not a dream.
“Hoooooo!”
Inhale and exhale.
Taking a deep breath, the man, Lee Han, slowly turned his body while holding the iron door.
Wow!!
It would have been natural for him to dislocate his shoulder or arm while lifting such a huge door, but Lee Han decided to put aside the natural laws of the human body for now.
He insisted.
Phew…! Phew!
He turned the iron gate as if he was throwing it like a shot put, creating chaos in the surrounding area.
“Ahhhhh!”
“Run, run away!!!”
“Ugh-!”
2,550kg.
The very idea of a 2.5-ton lump of iron spinning around is threatening and destructive.
Even though it was only rotating slowly, the resulting turbulence generated incredible wind pressure and pressure, turning everything into a mess, and the soldiers were busy running away, forgetting even their original mission.
It is terrifying to see someone like Lee Han playing with such a huge lump of iron, but there is no one who wants to end their life like a piece of meat swept away by a rotating iron gate.
It was a scene of panic, and soon there was no one within a 30 meter radius around Lee Han.
Woohoo!
Thanks to this, Lee Han had gained enough running distance, and he gritted his teeth and started preparing.
Knock, knock!
A cracking sound was heard from Lee Han’s arms, shoulders, waist, and legs.
The pressure that would have crushed him long ago if he had not taken the elixir was overwhelming him.
“Ughhhhhh!!”
But Lee Han endured it.
The evil power and strength that had become much stronger than before, and the deepened realization of the truth, gave him the monstrous strength and ability to throw such a large mass.
But there is only one chance.
I won’t do this twice.
A crazy adventure that only happens once.
But once was enough, once I had gathered enough strength and the distance calculations and timing were all right.
“Ahhhhhhh!!”
With a shout that was either a shout or a curse, he threw the shot, or rather, the iron gate.
Whoooooooooooo-!
Draw a slowly rotating parabola.
Even though I threw it, it was difficult to rotate that much mass.
But the important thing is that he ‘threw it’.
A 2.5 ton chunk of iron flies and hits the ground.
That’s already it.
Kwaaaaang!!
… … It means that a disaster that is enough to collapse a building and the ground has arrived.
Kookookookookung!
The shot that Lee Han threw at the iron gate hit the mansion where the Marquis was staying and shook the ground.
“… Yeah, this is a proper fight.”
What good would it do if a man broke down the main gate and started a fight?
Although Lee Han was in a state of complete excruciating pain, with blood pouring out of his eyes, mouth, and nose, he simply wiped the dust from his nose with satisfaction.
The result was so good that I didn’t even care about the minor(?) injuries.
