Episode 140.
Kang! Kakang!
A feast of sword fights that continues without pause.
Han Chae-rin’s sword swung wildly towards Si-woo.
Siwoo did not back down.
He reacted to the sword strikes that came at him one by one and deflected them all.
Kaang─! Kakang!
The sound of metal clashing with metal continues to be heard.
At that moment, it stopped.
Han Chae-rin’s sword, which had been pouring down, stopped.
Han Chae-rin’s posture has suddenly become lowered.
Wedge!
Han Chae-rin’s sword shot at Si-woo like lightning.
Kaaaaang─!
‘surely….’
Siwoo could personally feel the clear difference in Han Chae-rin’s skills.
There are three important elements in practicing martial arts.
Heart. Energy. Body.
The heart is the mind.
Qi is magical power.
The body is the physical body.
Han Chae-rin’s energy was the Supreme Ultimate.
Jang Sam-bong’s Taegeuk (SS) that Si-woo tells us about.
Although he did not reach the level of Jang Sam-bong.
However, Han Chae-rin acquired her own Taegeuk.
Although I don’t know for sure, I could say that it was a level that no human could match.
There was nothing to say about the body.
The body of heavenly martial arts.
This one sentence could explain everything.
But the heart.
Han Chae-rin’s heart was not like that.
One way or another, Han Chae-rin is a woman who is only 21 years old.
Han Chae-rin still had many shortcomings.
That’s why it was unstable.
The energy and body have advanced far ahead, but the mind has not been able to keep up with them.
It could be seen as a kind of tripod.
The legs of the qi and body were long and stable.
But the legs of the heart were short and dangerous.
Since one thing was out of balance, it was bound to shake.
That person was Han Chae-rin.
But a while ago.
I wonder if Siwoo’s special class was very effective.
Kaang─! Kang!
The current Han Chae-rin is quite stable.
Get it from the heart.
Supported by a firm mind that was not shaken by anything, the energy and body were finally able to display their true strength.
Only now was Han Chae-rin’s talent beginning to blossom.
Is that why?
‘It won’t work.’
Siwoo was able to make decisions quickly.
It’s impossible to fight Han Chae-rin with a sword.
If things continue this way, Siwoo will surely lose.
So I thought about it for a moment.
To boost Han Chae-rin’s confidence as well.
This time, I thought I should just give in.
But I quickly shook the thought off.
Because that was an insult to Han Chae-rin.
At this moment, Han Chae-rin is neither a delicate woman nor the youngest granddaughter of the SH Group.
Warrior.
For someone who pursues the extremes of martial arts, that is not an etiquette that can be shown.
Wedge!
Han Chae-rin’s black hair flutters about, blocking her vision.
Siwoo threw the sword he was holding at Han Chae-rin.
Phew!
“……!”
Han Chae-rin’s eyes opened wide at Si-woo’s sudden actions.
Han Chae-rin hurriedly fixed her sword and shouted, “Kaang!”
Deflected the flying sword.
At that moment, suddenly.
Siwoo’s fist touched Han Chae-rin’s left cheek.
“…I lost.”
Han Chae-rin weakly lowered her sword.
“I didn’t know you could throw a sword.”
“Keep all possibilities open. In real life, you never know what variables might come up.”
At Siwoo’s words, Han Chae-rin nodded calmly as if she had learned something.
After a while, he spoke to Si-woo with an indifferent face.
“I didn’t see any movement at all. As expected… you were watching.”
“No. I was being sincere.”
“But the movement just now….”
“That’s a move that can only be done with martial arts. You can’t do it when you’re holding a sword. It’s not that I didn’t do it on purpose to let you have it.”
It was none other than the secret method of Shintoism.
I don’t know if you know that fact or not.
“I thought I was getting a little closer, but I’m still far away.”
Han Chae-rin spoke in a slightly hushed voice.
The voice was mixed with a hint of disappointment.
But that was only for a moment.
“But it still made Siwoo put down his sword.”
Han Chae-rin spoke in her usual indifferent tone.
Han Chae-rin, who glanced over, was touching the bracelet that Si-woo had given her.
It was a look that was not eaten by impatience.
He was controlling the fire in his heart well.
Han Chae-rin has definitely changed.
Siwoo said with a small smile.
“That’s all for today’s class.”
“Yes. Thank you for your hard work.”
Han Chae-rin nodded and sharpened her sword.
Siwoo was also about to leave.
“I….”
A familiar voice was heard from one side.
The place I looked at.
Standing there was Han Chae-rin’s personal secretary, Kim Min-jae.
For a moment, I wondered what was going on.
“It’s nothing more than a guest coming.”
Han Chae-rin tilted her head at Kim Min-jae’s words.
But Kim Min-jae shook his head slightly and said.
“I came to look for you, not for the young lady.”
“…Me?”
“That’s right.”
Siwoo was wondering something.
The question, “Suddenly?”
A question that makes you wonder, who are you?
And for a moment, the question “Why here?” arises at the same time.
“Are you the guy named Maeng Si-woo?”
An unfamiliar voice came from one side.
I slowly turned my head and looked at that place.
There was a man with a rather handsome face walking towards Siwoo.
The slightly rough atmosphere seemed to indicate that he was intoxicated by his own good taste.
It’s a face, an expression, and an atmosphere.
It felt like I was going around advertising myself as being so great!
In a word, it was an unlucky impression.
That is why it was also an impression in Siwoo’s memory.
“Lee Ye-jun?”
Korea’s S-class hunter, Lee Ye-jun.
Lee Ye-jun appeared in front of Si-woo.
* * *
Lee Ye-jun, one of the six S-class hunters in Korea.
“Why are you here…?”
“Where is the equipment you were using?”
Lee Ye-jun returned with words that were like a question and answer.
“equipment?”
Siwoo tilted his head without realizing it.
Something I wanted to do for a moment.
Lee Ye-jun’s gaze was focused on Si-woo’s hand.
“Are you sure this is what you’re talking about?”
Siwoo took out the Orihalcon Gauntlet from his subspace pocket.
Swoosh, a fist was placed in Siwoo’s hand.
“……!”
Lee Ye-jun’s eyes opened wide.
I guess I was surprised to see the subspace pocket.
“Could that be a subspace pocket?”
It seemed like that was the case.
“Yes, but.”
Siwoo gave a short answer.
No, by the way.
Why is he always speaking informally to me?
“How much does it cost?”
Not only did he speak informally to me out of the blue, he even made a preemptive offer out of the blue.
Siwoo opened his mouth after understanding the meaning.
“Are you going to buy this equipment?”
Then Lee Ye-jun’s eyebrows twitched.
It seemed like Siwoo was upset because he spoke informally to her.
Lee Ye-jun spoke with a rather unpleasant expression on his face.
“I’ll buy the gauntlet you use and the subspace pouch.”
Despite the unpleasantness, there was considerable confidence in the words.
It seemed like he could handle whatever was being called.
After all, Lee Ye-jun is an S-class hunter.
I was able to pay whatever price I wanted.
“This is not for sale.”
But Siwoo, of course, had no intention of selling it.
“But if you insist on putting a price on it….”
I went in with the whole orichalcon.
If we add labor costs to this… .
“I think I should get around 300 billion.”
Then Lee Ye-jun’s expression distorted pleasantly.
“Are you kidding me?”
Because 300 billion was too much.
Even if it was Lee Ye-jun, it wouldn’t have been worth 300 billion won.
Han Chae-rin, who was next to me right now, was probably having a hard time too.
Even for Han Chae-rin, the youngest granddaughter of SH Group, 300 billion won was an amount that she had to give serious thought to.
anyway.
“I’ll give you 30 billion.”
Lee Ye-jun started haggling over the price out of the blue.
“What if you don’t like it?”
“Then there’s nothing we can do.”
Kwaaaa …
In an instant, Lee Ye-jun’s momentum exploded.
A murderous feeling that feels like a needle pricking the skin.
Even without the skills, an S-class hunter was an S-class hunter.
And this momentum means one thing.
“You’re going to take it away by force?”
Lee Ye-jun didn’t give any answer.
That’s why Siwoo was so absurd.
Are you crazy?
There is a limit to how much you can do out of the blue.
At this point, isn’t it safe to say that he’s just crazy?
“A treasure is a treasure only when one has the power to protect it. To those without the power, a treasure is no different from a disaster.”
“however?”
“Prove it.”
Lee Ye-jun spoke with even greater enthusiasm.
“I’m telling you if you’re worthy of having that equipment. If you’re not, I’ll take it.”
Why does logic flow in that direction?
The expression “Aoi ascends” was exactly what Siwoo was feeling at the moment.
“why me?”
“Because I want it.”
Are you really crazy?
What was certain was that he was not a man with a normal way of thinking.
That’s why it was meaningless.
There was no point in continuing the conversation any further.
It was best to just ignore it.
Confucius also said:
[No matter how polite you are, if the other person doesn’t correct his rudeness, he is definitely an animal.]
[What good is tussling with beasts?]
Siwoo ignored Lee Yejun and walked away.
however.
“How rude.”
Suddenly Han Chae-rin appeared?
Han Chae-rin was looking at Lee Ye-jun with her usual cold face.
Lee Ye-jun turned his gaze and spoke to Han Chae-rin.
“The rudeness of the strong is not rudeness, it is a right.”
and.
Siwoo burst into pure admiration.
Even among crazy people, isn’t there a crazy person like this?
I had a feeling it wouldn’t work.
I felt like I couldn’t leave him alone.
Isn’t that the mindset of criminals in Pandemonium?
If we just leave it alone, one day he will commit a big crime─.
“Then prove it.”
Han Chae-rin spoke again in an indifferent tone.
“Prove to me that you are the stronger one.”
Then, Han Chae-rin pulled out her sword.
He looked at Lee Ye-jun with eyes as cold as ice.
“You want to fight me?”
“Are you afraid?”
There was no emotion in Han Chae-rin’s voice.
At this point, Siwoo was embarrassed.
‘Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?’
Why is Han Chae-rin like this?
Siwoo said to Han Chae-rin.
“No. There’s no need for Chaerin to do that─.”
“I was rude to Siwoo.”
Han Chae-rin just spoke firmly.
A face that shows no emotion.
It was Han Chae-rin, no different from usual.
But what should I say?
‘Are you angry…?’
It was Han Chae-rin who seemed angry somewhere.
And it was also the first time I saw it.
Han Chae-rin was angry because Si-woo had never seen her angry before.
More than anything.
‘Why are you angry?’
Why is Han Chae-rin angry?
The one who was rude to Lee Ye-jun was Si-woo.
I don’t know if you know Siwoo’s feelings or not.
“If I win, I will formally apologize to Mr. Siwoo.”
“under.”
Lee Ye-jun gave a snort.
But that was only for a moment.
“Could that happen?”
Then Lee Ye-jun took a stance.
The match between Han Chae-rin and Lee Ye-jun was thus realized.
‘……What?’
Siwoo was wondering something.
* * *
Lee Ye-jun was just like that.
The woman who is radiating energy in front of him now, Han Chae-rin.
Currently, Han Chae-rin’s hunter rank is A+.
Of course, I heard that there will be a promotion review soon.
But as a result, it was not even at an S-class level.
On the other hand, he is S-class.
The difference in level was too much.
So the natural reaction was submission.
But now.
“I’m an S-class hunter, so I’ll go with all my might.”
Han Chae-rin was showing off her fighting spirit.
A face that doesn’t show a single hint of emotion.
There was no sign of defeat in it either.
Lee Ye-jun really couldn’t even laugh.
“Do you think you can win even if you give it your all?”
Han Chae-rin is still a child.
He’s the genius of the century and all.
No matter how much fuss he made, a child was still a child.
You could tell just by looking at the kidnapping incidents in the past.
“I heard that he was kidnapped without even putting up a fight.”
Lee Ye-jun spoke to Han Chae-rin as if provoking her.
Han Chae-rin still wasn’t showing any particular emotions.
But I could see a slightly wavering expression on her face.
How can you lose your composure over a single provocation like this?
Sigh.
It was really, really similar.
“Don’t give up the initiative.”
Lee Ye-jun spread out both palms.
Show Han Chae-rin what the true strength of a strong person is.
Startle!
An inexplicable sense of alienation that penetrates between the senses.
Han Chae-rin is nowhere to be seen.
“what…?”
A moment of distinct confusion came to mind.
Wedge!
Han Chae-rin’s sword surged forward, tearing through the air.
When did that happen…?
Such questions are meaningless at present.
Lee Ye-jun hurriedly leaned back.
Splash─!
Han Chae-rin’s sword grazed the tip of her nose, causing a thin stream of blood to spurt out.
If only the reaction had been just a little bit slower.
A blow that pierced the entire face.
But the first emotion that came to mind wasn’t anger.
‘You didn’t see it?’
perplexity.
It was clearly a simple stabbing.
But Lee Ye-jun could tell.
Countless things were embedded in the simple movements that Han Chae-rin performed.
And it was not visible.
Lee Ye-jun couldn’t see anything inside it.
‘What the heck…!’
Chomp!
Bright red blood spurted into the field of vision.
Han Chae-rin’s sword, which had just brushed the tip of her nose, was already cutting into Lee Ye-jun’s side.
The excruciating pain makes me dizzy.
Lee Ye-jun straightened his posture by bending his hips.
And then stop.
I heard a sound of something breaking.
I couldn’t figure out what it was.
But instinct was warning me.
Die.
Lee Ye-jun threw his body to the side.
but.
Swish─.
A cool sensation gently cutting the nape of your neck.
A pure white sword was draped over Lee Ye-jun’s neck.
“……!!!”
Lee Ye-jun’s expression turned bright red with shock.
I was confused by something I couldn’t understand at all.
In such a confused state of mind.
“Kneel down and apologize to Siwoo right now.”
All that could be heard was Han Chae-rin’s cold voice, sadly.
