Episode 107.
To be honest, I did think about Orichalcon.
However, I just folded it because it was meaningless even after thinking about it deeply.
First of all, orichalcons were incredibly rare.
The sun comes out in the dry season.
It was a metal that was discovered like beans sprouting in a drought, as the name suggests.
Even though it was an unprocessable raw stone, it had its uses.
Anyway, isn’t it an indestructible characteristic?
It just cannot be processed and used.
Because of its characteristics, its uses were quite diverse.
That’s why the price is basically in the hundreds of billions.
And it was not available.
It wasn’t the kind of thing you could buy just because you wanted to.
This is truly the metal of the gods.
Orichalcon didn’t even consider it because it was something he didn’t even dare to think about.
But now.
‘The prize for winning the seminar is orichalcon.’
Is this really the world’s most prestigious seminar?
Of course, it was a metal of little use to blacksmiths.
What good is it to have metal that can’t be refined?
It was literally just pretty trash.
So I don’t know why Master Aurelian put up the orichalcon as the prize.
‘If only I could get it…?’
No, I had to get it.
This is an opportunity you can’t miss.
But there was a problem.
‘I can’t attend the seminar.’
Because the qualification requirements were not met.
I could quickly obtain a blacksmith-related qualification.
But there was one thing I couldn’t do.
Even if other things can be done, the final requirement is the individuality of the production job.
Siwoo, who had no individuality, could not meet that requirement no matter what he did.
There was no way for Siu to participate in Semana.
So, it was right to think that there was no way to win the seminar.
So you’re giving up like this?
‘That can’t be.’
That is absolutely impossible.
Where on earth can you get orichalcon and give it up?
‘If I were to submit the work on your behalf under your name…’
Siwoo quickly shook his head.
This wasn’t even worth thinking about.
No matter how much I want the Orichalcon, it’s a proxy exhibition.
Not only does Seopalgwang not allow it.
Siwoo didn’t want to use such a trick either.
No, this wasn’t a shortcut.
A kind of deception and fraud.
It was no different from a crime.
‘Why do you want to hear a scolding from Confucius?’
In many ways, proxy submission was a no-brainer.
If so, there is only one way left.
‘If I make you win…?’
Make Seopalgwang win.
In the end, it meant the same thing.
However, it was completely different from the proxy submission.
Because it was Seo Pal-gwang’s work, not Si-woo’s work, that won.
The method was simple.
Siwoo teaches Seopalgwang.
Seopalgwang’s skills will be raised to a level far higher than now.
With this, Seo Pal-gwang’s work wins the seminar.
Literally making Seopalgwang win.
“Sir, how much time is left until the seminar submission?”
“There’s about a week left.”
“one week….”
Siwoo was lost in thought for a moment.
How far can you teach Seopalgwang in a week?
Fortunately, Seo Pal-gwang’s basic skills were not bad.
It was not bad, and it was one of the best in Korea.
If you were teaching a complete beginner, it might be different.
It wasn’t completely impossible.
Siwoo did all kinds of calculations in his head.
The power of insight (S+).
I designed the curriculum by penetrating the essence of the phenomenon I encountered.
As a result.
“Sir, this sword. Please remake it.”
I was able to reach the conclusion that it was worth doing.
Oh right.
Previously.
“Sir, would you like to make a deal with me?”
Siwoo smiled faintly.
* * *
So-eun was heading to Seo’s workshop.
Seo Pal-gwang’s seminar work submission.
Because the deadline was approaching.
Well, actually, Soeun wasn’t of much help.
So-eun couldn’t provide much help to Seo Pal-gwang in making equipment.
However, the seminar is held overseas.
So, the work has to be shipped overseas.
Hence the management and storage of the equipment.
Also, delivery to ensure safe and timely arrival at the seminar.
In this area, Soeun was able to help me a lot.
“You said you finished the work yesterday.”
So, originally, you should have come yesterday.
But yesterday something happened.
None other than Siwoo’s housewarming.
To be exact, something big happened during the housewarming.
“You said he was a criminal of Pandemonium… ”
Pandemonium, a global criminal organization.
I heard that those who kidnapped Lee Jun-i are also Pandemonium.
The reason why such a pandemonium suddenly attacked Siu’s house.
“Because of us, Siwoo…”
In the past, when So-eun’s younger brother, Kim Lee-jun, was kidnapped.
It is said that Siwoo earned a grudge against Pandemonium by saving Lee Jun.
So-eun really didn’t have the face to raise her head in front of Si-woo.
And really.
I was so grateful.
Soeun stopped walking for a moment.
And for a moment.
“But I didn’t know Siwoo was such a strong hunter.”
Actually, I had heard it to some extent from Lee Jun-i.
This is the story of how Siwoo saved Lee Jun.
Still, to be honest, I was half in doubt.
To be exact, it would be more accurate to say that I couldn’t believe it.
“I’m just an ordinary blacksmith.”
Oh, of course it wasn’t ordinary.
To be precise, he is a strange blacksmith.
No, you could say he was a blacksmith who was crazy, if not obsessed with money.
In any case, to So-eun, Si-woo was nothing more than a blacksmith.
That’s why I couldn’t believe it.
But yesterday.
“It was… awesome.”
Soeun could see it.
Outside the window, I peeked out secretly.
The villains who scatter life.
A blood-stained street.
and.
“I couldn’t even see it.”
Soeun didn’t know everything about Hunter.
But I could say that I didn’t know.
Because the people that Soeun Trading Company mainly dealt with were hunters.
First of all, isn’t my younger brother, Kim Yi-jun, a B-class hunter?
That’s why I could say it.
“I do not know.”
Siwoo said he couldn’t figure it out at all.
At least A+ grade.
No, it seemed like even an S-class hunter could do it.
From the outstanding blacksmith skills to the power of a S-class hunter.
“This is truly amazing….”
All I could say was that Soeun was truly amazing.
As my thoughts about Siwoo continued like that, suddenly.
‘Sister, didn’t you say that Siwoo hyung doesn’t have a girlfriend?’
Kim Yi-jun’s words came to mind.
‘Brother Siwoo. I think you’re dating sister Han Chae-rin?’
It is said that none other than Siwoo and Han Chae-rin are dating.
Of course, I wasn’t interested, saying it was nonsense.
Han Chae-rin is dating Si-woo.
What kind of nonsense are you talking about?
But um.
Really?
Is Siwoo really dating Han Chae-rin?
Of course I knew that couldn’t be the case.
I knew better than anyone that the chances of that happening were slim.
But if it’s true…?
If you think about it, it was strange that Han Chae-rin came to Si-woo’s housewarming party.
In particular, what about the housewarming gift that Han Chae-rin gave?
Wasn’t it almost like a mixed product?
“Really…?”
For some reason, it suddenly occurred to me that that might be the case.
Of course, Han Chae-rin was the best woman.
It was obvious that most men would not even notice her.
Beauty like the goddess of beauty.
From natural talent to a great background.
Even to other women, Han Chae-rin was a perfect woman.
But Siwoo was no different.
If you have that kind of looks, you’re handsome.
The heart is also kind.
Needless to say, ability is a must.
Looking at the way she took care of her younger sister, Seo-ah, she couldn’t be more domestic.
A man who is infinitely warm to his woman and his family.
“Even I want to date Siwoo─.”
Startle!
Soeun trembled.
I stopped walking abruptly.
Wow, what did I just say?
Are you dating Siwoo?
Wow!
So-eun’s face turned bright red.
I wonder if anyone heard.
Soeun looked around quickly.
Fortunately, no one saw or heard.
But why is that?
“Ah, no…! That’s not it…!”
Soeun waved her hands wildly in the air as if making excuses.
I really wanted to hide in a mouse hole.
Soeun quickened her pace for no reason.
The Seos’ workshop arrived in such an instant.
Soeun opened the workshop door with all her might.
Daughter.
“I’m here!!!!”
And today he shouted even louder.
I thought that was the only way to avoid revealing my shameful feelings.
In this way, So-eun announced her arrival to the whole world.
But what the heck.
“……?”
Why, there was no response.
Originally, Seo Pal-gwang’s voice should have been heard asking, “Are you here?”
I was also secretly looking forward to hearing Siwoo’s voice saying, ‘So-eun, are you here?’
Wow!
The face turns red again.
What have you been thinking about since a while ago… .
Soeun shook her head forcefully to shake off her thoughts.
anyway.
There was no particular response to So-eun’s screams.
“Is there anyone?”
I wanted to, but it didn’t seem to be that way.
Huruk, huruk!
The sound of flames coming from inside.
At the same time, bang─! Kaang!
“I guess they’re making equipment.”
So-eun was able to understand it like that.
Then he tilted his head.
“Didn’t you say that the equipment was all made yesterday?”
Are you doing a final check?
Or maybe Mr. Siwoo?
Soeun entered the workshop with an excited heart.
and.
“to…?”
Soeun broke down on the spot.
That would be the case, seeing the sight with So-eun’s two eyes.
Seopalgwang was holding a hammer and hitting the anvil.
Next to that Seopalgwang.
“You have to hit along the line. That way you can maximize your strength and toughness.”
Siwoo was saying something to Seopalgwang.
It looked like he was teaching something.
Well, actually, it looked no different than usual.
Seo Pal-gwang often learned blacksmithing skills from Si-woo.
but.
Kaang─!
“Hey, mister. The knot is broken.”
This time something was different.
Normally, it was just a kind of ‘advice’.
But now, what should I say?
“Look here. The knot is completely off.”
I had the feeling that Siwoo was teaching me.
It seemed like I was educating Seopalgwang.
“Huh?”
Soeun really couldn’t understand.
No, education?
Who is that? Seopalgwang?
The best blacksmith in Korea?
A blacksmith acknowledged by Master Aurelian?
What is this…?
So-eun glanced at Seo Pal-gwang.
That would be the case, since Siwoo’s education was nothing short of hurting his pride.
I admit that Siwoo is an excellent blacksmith.
However, Seo Pal-gwang was also a blacksmith of equal skill.
He was a blacksmith who deserved to be called a craftsman.
That pride was also a great Seopalgwang.
Even Master Aurelian could not train Seopalgwang.
I can give you some advice, though.
Education could not be done, nor should it be done.
Because each craftsman who has reached a certain level has his or her own method.
That’s why Siwoo’s education just now crossed the line a little bit.
It was no different from scratching the craftsman’s pride.
But what the heck.
“Here… is that what you mean?”
Seo Pal-gwang was being educated obediently?
No, it wasn’t to the extent of receiving an education.
“No. It’s a little bit further inside. Can’t you see?”
“I can’t see it very well….”
“That’s because you only see it with your eyes. Try reading the grain of the metal with your senses.”
“By feeling…? Yeah, it’s very difficult.”
I was being disciplined…
Like someone learning the blacksmithing skills for the first time, Seo Pal-gwang was learning step by step from Si-woo.
what?
What the heck?
“It’s because I’ve gotten used to it. If I were a normal person, I wouldn’t say anything, but you’re an awakened person too. Try it once.”
“Ugh… .”
What is it really?
What on earth is this?
“Here, here. Do you feel it? This is where the resolution begins.”
“I feel like I can feel it a little bit…?”
“You can think of it as a kind of knot, and from here on, the knot of the metal continues. And here, you have to hit with more force. Not all knots are the same.”
“How much strength do you mean?”
“Is this about it?”
Kwaaaa …
Could it be that a bomb exploded?
So-eun ended up having that thought for a moment.
It wasn’t even hit with a hammer.
fist.
That was the extent of the blow, even if it was done with bare fists.
“T, how can I do this… .”
“Hey, I told you, you’ll get there if you keep trying. Come on, give it a try.”
Seo Pal-gwang hesitated and then grabbed the hammer.
And with all my might, kaaaang─!
“Um… Sir. I think you should start by exercising. Put down the hammer and let’s start by exercising.”
“Huh? You mean exercise? All of a sudden?”
“Yes. I think you’ll need to build up your muscles first to master the techniques I’m going to teach you.”
“But there’s less than a week left until the seminar. Even if I exercise now, how much will it do…”
“Don’t worry if you drink the herbal medicine I made. My skill has improved a lot these days, so the effect is amazing.”
“What is that…?”
“Oh, right. The blacksmith seminar doesn’t do doping tests or anything like that, right?”
Then, all of a sudden, it was Siwoo who started making me exercise.
And the real question is why.
“one!”
“Ugh!”
“Breathing is important, but don’t worry too much about it. For now, just think about doing it!”
“Haaah!”
Seo Pal-gwang was doing it again because he was told to do it.
No, really.
What on earth is this?
What on earth is going on?
A mind that has finally broken down.
“Uh, uh…?”
Soeun had to stand there for a long time, broken.
* * *
Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+).
A speed that far surpasses human limits.
But someone asked Siwoo.
Is Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+) the fastest?
If you asked him why, Siwoo would have firmly shook his head.
That would be the case, since he has experienced something faster than Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+).
The speed of time.
It was the fastest thing Siwoo had ever experienced.
Even this time passes by without consulting me.
I chase after it belatedly, thinking, “Oh no.”
It was so fast that I couldn’t catch it.
Something that even Hermes’ Super Speed (SS+) can’t keep up with.
That’s what these times were like.
Is that why?
The week really went by quickly.
But that week’s effort.
Even that effort did not go by quickly.
So now.
“It’s… done!”
The culmination of Seo Pal-gwang’s efforts was right before Si-woo’s eyes.
