#34. Sword God Yu Dam-deok! (3)
“I will definitely win.”
Hamanu, born from the seed of the fire spirit, was flexing his body in triumph, sweeping his flame-covered hair.
“Don’t worry if you lose. There is a stoon.”
Stun, who was born in a crevice in a mossy rock, was warming up by lifting a large chunk of rock.
“But you’re an instructor… Wouldn’t it be better not to push yourself too hard?”
Unlike the other lowest-level gods, the boy, who was no different from an ordinary human, muttered lowly.
“Lois, you shut up! “What do you know when you don’t even have any powers yet?”
There are no promising young gods in Hephaestus’ academy.
All are children born in unknown forests, rocks, rivers, or bonfires.
But among them all, Lois was a more unusual child.
Although they were called gods, they were young gods who were born less than 100 years ago. Among them, Lois was in perfect condition to be an outcast.
“Hey, Lois. Be honest. “Aren’t you actually a human child?”
“… no. “I can see my mother like you all.”
“under! “Are you saying the same thing about seeing your mother after stealing our story?”
“I said no… .”
Eventually, Lois began to cry.
‘Tsk tsk, the world of gods and the world of humans do things… .’
Damdeok lightly relaxed his body and looked at the figure, then turned his head towards Jusoyul.
“Are you just going to leave that alone?”
“Leave it alone, this is not the human world.”
Anyway, cold-blooded… .
Lois was already sobbing alone in the corner over there.
Still, seeing as several gods approach and comfort Lois, it seems there is no need to hastily intervene.
Hamanu was behaving childishly, saying things like, “Lois, that guy cheated even though his mother wasn’t in sight.”
“What on earth do you mean I can see my mother?”
“I’m talking about the system, the Gods’ part-time job.”
Ah, that’s what the gods call mother.
That’s odd.
“Why do you call something like a hologram mother?”
Damdeok turned his head and asked.
“Because what all gods see from birth is that hologram.”
“Hmm, I heard that Alba Chang was visible from birth… . The world of the gods is also quite labor-centered.”
But actually, part-time work isn’t that bad. Rather, it feels like it was created mainly for the convenience of the gods.
It’s a store for the gods that sells everything except what they don’t have, a profile that lets you know your status at a glance, and you can also share your opinions on each product in the comments.
That’s all, God’s part-time job list, which can be said to be the core of the part-time job window, allows you to instantly teleport wherever you want, and part-time fee deposit processing is also done smartly.
If you put your mind to it, it is possible to work under a famous god and build connections.
‘In a way, it’s like the Internet of the human world.’
Well, that’s not what’s important right now.
Damdeok, who carefully turned the last wrist and ankle, shouted to the field.
“Okay, if you’re all warmed up, gather around.”
At Damdeok’s words, the scattered young gods gathered together and chattered.
“Each person holds a sword, arms spread out, side to side.”
The young gods looked puzzled at those words.
Oh, don’t you know this?
He cleared his throat once and spoke solemnly again.
“Just keep your distance. Are you going to stand so close and swing your sword?”
At those words, the dodgeball king, Tongki, or rather, Hamanu, raised his hand.
“What about sparring?”
“I teach from the basics of swordsmanship.”
“Tsk.”
Damdeok ignored him and demonstrated basic swordsmanship.
From the most basic two-handed grip to vertical, horizontal, and diagonal cuts. And the movement that leads to blocking and cutting, and the movement that leads to cutting and blocking.
Even the smooth linkage that puts it all together.
Although he had never properly learned from anyone, Damdeok’s body instinctively learned how to handle a sword from the moment he became a swordsman.
Also, doesn’t he have SS-level swordsmanship?
Now, Damdeok was confident that he would not fall behind no matter who came forward when it came to swords.
But on the other hand, the reaction of the young gods was extremely lukewarm… .
Not only did they follow along clumsily, but some even yawned while swinging the sword, and some even swung it with their eyes closed.
The young gods had a poor understanding of the sword to understand Damdeok’s perfect swordsmanship.
‘Ugh, what am I going to do with these kids?’
Damdeok, who noticed this, immediately struck his sword.
“it’s okay. This should be enough for the warm-up. “The person you want to spar with first should come to the front.”
Hearing the instructor’s hot words, Hamanu was the first to run out and take a stance.
The remaining gods stood in a circle surrounding Damdeok and Hamanu.
A typical scene from Dalian,
Unlike Hamanu’s expression, which was full of confidence, Damdeok’s expression was extremely nervous.
‘Your posture is a mess.’
A very pretentious Bonsae.
Flames ignite on your sword! The clad Hamanu rushes forward, shouting his spirit vigorously.
“Hey!”
I was shocked.
If you run like that with the tip of your sword behind you, you will be instantly stabbed to death by the opponent’s blow.
There was no other elementary school kid who learned swordsmanship by watching cartoon movies.
When Hamanu jumped greatly and struck down his flaming sword, Damdeok expressionlessly took a step closer.
“What are you doing?”
“… uh?”
He didn’t block or dodge, he just took a step forward, but Hamanu’s flame sword missed its target.
Damdeok slowly raised his arms towards Hamanu, who had lost his balance and slumped forward.
“Tsk, tsk, you can only use a sword like that.”
Surrounded by fancy fireworks?
The spirit’s power is a waste.
Damdeok truly thought so.
Burbubbuk! Puff! thud!
“Ugh! Ahh! 100 million!”
The expressions of the young gods who were watching with interest gradually began to harden.
“Hamanu is the best with a sword among us… .”
Someone muttered that, but it was soon buried.
Burbubbuk! Plop! puck!
“Ouch! Ugh! “Ugh!”
The only sounds in the field were the sound of hawks and the screams of Hamanu.
Damdeok was roughly swinging his sword with one hand and striking Hamanu.
yet,
“Oooooh… Please stop… .”
Hamanu fainted with foam in his mouth, and Damdeok clicked his tongue and shouted, “Next.”
With no one stepping forward, the rocky Stoon jumped out screaming.
“Stoon is invincible! “I will scold you!”
The large sword fell straight onto Damdeok’s head.
‘Still, it’s better than Hamanu.’
But that’s it.
The great sword that was swinging frantically could not even graze the tip of Damdeok’s fur.
“Huh! omg! The instructor is a coward! “Fight fair and square!”
“Cowardice is something you can’t do right.”
“no! “Don’t avoid it!”
Stunn’s great sword quickly pierced towards the heart.
Don’t dodge while swinging your sword.
What kind of logic is that?
Damdeok smiled and looked at the stabbing greatsword.
“okay. “I don’t avoid it.”
Damdeok lightly flicked away Stunn’s great sword.
Teuong!
Whirring! Quang!
The great sword bounced high in the sky and flew all the way to the forest where it landed.
“… … .”
Stoon stood with his mouth open as if he had turned into a rock.
Remember!
When Damdeok lightly hit the top of his head, the huge body of the stun slowly fell backwards.
Kugoogung!
Silence fell on the white dusty field.
“next.”
No one responded to Damdeok’s words.
“Ah, brother! “What are you doing!”
“Be gentle with the kids!”
The dwarves rushed over and said a word to Hamanu and Stoon as they were carried on a stretcher.
Damdeok just shrugged his shoulders.
“I’m sure the dwarves are looking at you now… .”
“Brother… ?”
This is the god that the dwarves, who even Hephaestus ignores, call him brother?
Only then did the young gods look at Damdeok with their eyes shining.
match! Clap clap! Clap clap clap!!
One or two applause soon turned into shouts and applause.
“Wow!! “Awesome instructor!!”
The young gods approached Damdeok without any hesitation and poured out questions.
“How did you do it? “Hamanu was the strongest in our academy!”
“What are you talking about! “Stoon was the strongest!”
“Did you teach swordsmanship to the dwarves too?”
“Please teach me swordsmanship too!”
“me too! “Please teach me all the sword techniques, too!”
Damdeok is tiring! Tiring! I just nodded quietly while listening to the sound of my strength rising.
* * *
[Khaha! If I had known that this guy would like it this much, I would have made it so quickly for no reason.]
Hephaestus chuckled as he stroked Lois’ head.
“Instructor. “Can’t I go?”
Royce looked at Damdeok with reddened eyes.
“haha. Why are you crying? If you just practice hard like I told you, Hamanu is nothing special. “Did you see him getting beaten up by me then?”
“yes… But Hamanu also knows how to control flames… “I can’t do anything.”
“don’t worry. You can cut down as many flames as you want with a sword. “The talent you have is enough.”
“really?”
Damdeok nodded vigorously.
Lois, whose expression brightened only then, nodded and adjusted her sword.
Damdeok stroked the guy’s head and looked behind Hephaestus.
“They said it would take three days and nights, but they finished it in two.”
Behind Hephaestus was a shining sun chariot.
And even a huge fire pit that was firmly connected.
Form, shape, mass. Everything was the same as before.
[haha. cancer. I guess I am the god of blacksmiths for no reason. With this, my debt to you has been completely paid off. know?]
“yes. sure.”
Damdeok looked at Ju Soo-yul as if asking what she was talking about, but she just smiled calmly.
“Did you put in what I asked for?”
[Cancer, of course. We’ve prepared all the horses so we can leave right away. Probably Apollo won’t even know that the sun chariot was destroyed. Haha!]
Hephaestus pushed us on our backs, telling us to get on it quickly.
“Thank you. Hephaestus.”
“See you next time.”
[Okay, okay. Hey guys, go!]
As soon as Hephaestus waved his hand, the carriage departed.
Just then dawn was breaking.
The sunrise reflected on the sea is dazzlingly pretty.
While I was immersed in my thoughts for a while, I heard a sound from below.
“Instructor!!! Are you coming to teach me swordsmanship again?!”
“The song has to come!!”
“older brother! We don’t teach you! “It’s too much!!!”
“Next time you come, you must teach us first!!!”
The young gods and dwarves of the academy came out to the end of the island and were waving.
“Why are you doing this?”
As he said, Damdeok’s hand was moving towards them.
“Instructor Soyul, please come too!!”
The young god with leaf hair shouted.
“You have to come and finish the spirit class!!”
“… … .”
Zhou Juyul paused for a moment and waved his hand briefly without saying a word.
Damdeok and Ju Soo-yul flew quietly over the golden sea, receiving everyone’s farewell.
“It’s been a long time since I saw the sun rise.”
A scenery that anyone can appreciate.
However, the address rate was extremely cold.
“We can just enter Apollo’s solar orbit like this. Because the time is about right.”
“… Anyway, sometimes it seems like you don’t have any emotions.”
“It’s not that it doesn’t exist, it’s that I’m so used to it.”
“How long have you lived before you get used to it?”
“… … .”
Look at me. Don’t say anything again.
Hey, that’s it.
Damdeok looked at the rising sun with his arms resting on pillows.
It feels good to be fuzzy.
Watching the sunrise from a carriage in the sky.
It was unimaginable just a few months ago… .
“You said your physical strength only increased by 5,000, right?”
The practical question of address rate hit me hard.
Thanks to this, my feelings were completely broken.
“… Hey, make sure to do that now! Phew, okay. Is it because they are still young gods? “It didn’t go up that much.”
Your spiritual power increases more if you make your name known to the gods than if you make your name known to humans.
However, perhaps because the Academy’s young gods have not grown up yet, they did not increase that much.
“When you go back, you can level it up by going around dungeons and gates, so don’t worry.”
The population of the Earth alone is 7 billion.
What are you worried about?
But Joo-yul, who was deep in thought, began to pull something out from the back of the carriage,
Something broke under the carriage! It unfolded.
‘what. ‘What did you do?’
Damdeok stood up hesitantly and looked down.
“Eh? banner?!”
A huge white banner hung below the carriage.
The letters are written in large letters.
‘What does it say?’
I couldn’t see the writing clearly when I looked at it from above, so I turned my head, but the wind blew just in time, and Damdeok’s face turned red when he saw the writing.
“… hey! Address rate you!!!”
Ju Ju-yul was driving the carriage calmly.
“… “Hey!”
“What the hell! Hey! Come here! This is crazy! No matter how much you want to increase your physical strength, that’s true! “What are you doing so embarrassingly?”
“… This is it. let’s go.”
“Hey, don’t pretend you can’t hear me!!!”
Damdeok roared, and the banner attached to the sun carriage was floating leisurely in the sky.
[Sword God, Yu Dam-deok’s carriage!]
