Chapter 557 – IF I Am Alone in Another World 43

After that.

Dojin continued to spar with Hoyeon.

He did not achieve a shutout.
I repeated winning moderately and losing moderately.

“Hmm- that’s strange. “It’s strange.”

“What is it?”

“If you are so good at wielding a sword, why are you stuck at that level?”

If I were to interpret Hoyeon’s words, it was like this. In this world, physical abilities develop just by swinging a sword ignorantly, and as a result, it often happens that you have to relearn the swordsmanship you had already mastered.

In other words.

Sword training → Physical ability development → New sword training → Physical ability development → New sword training… This cycle runs infinitely.

However, Dojin’s swordsmanship was not like that. There were no movements based on superhuman physical abilities.

“I don’t understand. It feels as if I have honed my swordsmanship to the limit in a place where my body has not grown beyond a certain level…”

“Ahaha… Really?”

After hearing Ho-yeon’s words, Do-jin felt a chill pass through his spine. Now, after crossing swords a few times, hasn’t she come to the conclusion that Do-jin may not be from this world?

It was truly creepy. She also realized that superhumans who have reached a certain level truly have intuition that goes beyond common sense.

‘I honed my swordsmanship to the limit…’ …’

And one more thing.

After listening to Ho-yeon, Do-jin got a hint from her words. A path that people from other worlds do not take. To be precise, it meant that the people of Earth had walked a path that had not yet been taken.

‘I guess that’s true.’

Mana exists in this world. Because of this mana, people in this world can have powers that transcend humans.

This also applies to swordsmanship. When expressed in game terms, if you roughly learned basic swordsmanship up to Lv. 10, a body that has completed training can level up and move on to beginner swordsmanship.

Just as the swordsmanship wielded by a child is different from the swordsmanship wielded by an adult. The swordsmanship wielded by a superhuman being is of a different class from the swordsmanship wielded by ordinary humans.

‘But Earth couldn’t do that.’

However, unlike this world, the concept of magical power does not exist on Earth. No matter how many humans develop their physical abilities, they cannot overcome even a wild animal.

There was a limit to the swordsmanship that could be learned with human physical ability. People on Earth have not been able to reach the heights that people in other worlds have reached.

Instead, the people of Earth began to hone the most basic swordsmanship to the limit. As I said before, if we express it in terms of levels.

Basic Swordsmanship Lv. 99

After sticking to the sword skills that the people of this world left behind long ago, the people of Earth reached a level that the people of this world could not reach.

And there Dojin realized the path he should take.

‘The swordsmanship I learned when I had no magic power… Honestly, there is no need to practice anymore.’

I wasn’t bragging, but Dojin was a masterpiece created by Dohoon, the monster genius of all time. Although I didn’t achieve the results that my father had hoped for, at least I completed the curriculum he created without any major problems.

It was created exactly as Dohun predicted, that is, the result of cutting down soldiers with guns and taking on tanks with a single sword.

Dojin called it magicless swordsmanship. So, by other world standards, it was achieved with only basic swordsmanship. Even in my opinion, it was close to impossible to go further than this.

‘What I need to learn. The next type of swordsmanship developed by the people of this world.’

Superhuman swordsmanship conceived and created by superhumans who know how to use magical power. That was what Dojin needed now.

And luckily─ in front of the current Dojin, there was an instructor who taught martial arts to those adepts.

The ambassador of the prisoners. Hoyeon of the tiger tribe.

“Instructor Hoyeon.”

“Call me Hoyeon.”

“Yes? But…”

“I usually don’t say things like this, but if it’s a girl like you, it’s actually welcome. If you’re stronger than me, you’re strong, but you’re not weak, right?”

“… Then, Hoenn. “I have a favor to ask.”

Dojin finds a way to become better in any situation.

This was no exception in swordsmanship.

“Teach me how to use a sword.”

“What? Ahaha-! Teaching the person who defeated me… Normally, I would reject it as nonsense, but surprisingly, you are the type of person who can see what you want to teach.”

Ho-yeon burst into laughter and grabbed Do-jin’s hand. Do-jin also held his hand.

The calluses on each other’s palms faced each other, and the two smiled. This is because the calluses that formed there spoke of each other’s efforts and history.

“Please take care of me.”

“Yes, I am.”

Sayoung came out after changing her clothes and made a bewildered expression as she saw the two people shaking hands and smiling.

“… “What, why did you two suddenly become so close?”

After hearing Sayoung’s words, Hoyeon just smiled. Dojin, who was next to him, just laughed.

In front of the two people who just smiled, Sayoung felt alone and apart.

* * *

“What? “There is such a person?”

“Yes.”

After deciding to learn swordplay from Hoyeon, Dojin explained his past. She didn’t say that she was from another world, but she did explain enough that she studied swordsmanship from a genius without magical powers.

And after hearing Dojin’s explanation, Hoyeon nodded as if he understood.

“It’s not easy to understand that someone who can’t feel magical power would train a sword to that level, but… “I can’t say anything because the result is right in front of me.”

Dojin’s swordsmanship was at a level that could not be understood by the common sense of this world. It’s a sword technique that I can’t even understand who was thinking and what they were thinking.

However, if it were said that it was a swordsmanship that someone without magic trained to the limit to keep up with someone with mana, it was somewhat understandable.

It was equally understandable why Dojin insisted on humane movements rather than superhuman movements.

“Then I can learn the swordsmanship from you, and you can learn the beastman swordsmanship from me.”

“That could work.”

Hoyeon, who briefly summarized the situation, looked at Dojin as if he was ready at any time. Do-jin, who saw that face, wanted to share the sword right away, but… Unfortunately, it was too late today.

Considering that I had to enter the dungeon tomorrow as well, it wasn’t a good idea to delay any longer.

“Then, starting tomorrow, please take care of me.”

“Can I sleep here?”

“Umm… “That’s-.”

After hearing Ho-yeon’s consideration, Do-jin glanced at Sa-young who was sitting next to him. Hoyeon followed that gaze and let out an exclamation as if he had finally realized it.

“Ah-I’m sorry. “You two need some alone time, right?”

“Master, Master!?”

“What? You always brag to me every time I come. “I stayed up all night with a kid named Dojin—Eupeup!”

“Oh, really!”

Sayoung harshly covered Hoyeon’s mouth in response to the sudden revelation, then immediately grabbed Dojin’s wrist and left her dojo as if that was enough.

Ignoring Ho-yeon’s words to take it in moderation since she had to come back tomorrow, Sa-young dragged Do-jin’s hand and headed toward the dorm.

Dojin burst into laughter as she watched Sayoung lead her with her quick steps.

“What are you doing all night?”

“Si, it’s noisy!”

“You were the type of person who enjoyed that kind of thing. After all, it’s like a beast.”

“Well, what if it’s an animal? Is there a problem!?”

“No, I wonder if I too will become an animal.”

Sayoung, who was tilting her head as if wondering what he was talking about, belatedly understood Dojin’s words and widened her eyes.

Sayoung, who had kept her head down and remained silent for a moment before her pale skin turned red, opened her mouth only when she came to a position where her dorm was visible.

“… Hey.”

“Huh?”

“If you disappoint, I won’t let you go.”

“Ahaha – I’m in big trouble.”

Do-jin went up to the dorm with Sa-young as if attending her princess. And what followed, as always, was a series of pleasures in which they coveted and coveted each other’s bodies.

Do-jin, who had been with her all night, suddenly took a nap while watching the rising morning sun.

* * *

“Hehe, you’re young.”

Hoyeon, who was left alone in the dojo, said this and grabbed his wooden sword. Her main force was the sword, not the sword, but that didn’t mean she was that inferior to the sword.

She is the chief priest of the beastmen. The greatest warrior of the Great Plains. There is no tribal martial art that she does not know, and there is no martial art that she cannot reach.

“It was definitely like this, like this…”

Dojin showed her a sword that didn’t even exist in her head. That was the limit of her swordsmanship that Hoyeon could not reach in her entire life.

It is not a technique based on superhuman physical ability, but a state of truly handling the sword as if it were a body.

An extreme swordsmanship that infinitely expands the foundation that the superhumans of this world take lightly and overwhelms the size with its breadth.

“─Haha.”

Hoyeon, who waved the sword in the air a few times while remembering the sword Dojin was swinging, was trembled as he remembered the overwhelming swordsmanship that he could not imitate.

I am overwhelmed by someone.

This was a feeling I haven’t felt in a very long time.

‘Ah, I shouldn’t do this…’

Hoyeon swallowed back the bad feelings and held the sword.

… I didn’t want to suffer the stigma of stealing my student’s man.
