Chapter 56 – Martial Arts Exchange (2)
Ain Union.
Except for humans, elves. Dwarf. An alliance formed by the gathering of subhumans, including beastmen. The beast man had the greatest power in the alliance.
Unlike the elves who live in the great forest and the dwarves who have built their countries near mines. The beastman used the ground as a bed and the clouds as a blanket to survive anywhere.
Of course, it was the beastmen who fought the most with humans and thus made the most progress.
“My sister set up a dojo in a place like this.”
“It’s pitiful to teach martial arts to a human.”
“… Do you want to fall behind Just spit out that fucking noise one more time, and I’ll turn the snake’s skin inside out.”
“Isn’t it true? If you are so confident in martial arts, you should think about training younger students. Like humans….”
A spark flew between the two beasts. The man who was watching this sighed and stopped the two of them.
“Stop. Don’t strain unnecessarily And remember that we are here to see the martial arts of humans, not to fight.”
“… I see.”
“… I get it.”
Hearing the words of her bear-like man, the two quickly shrank and stopped fighting, but that did not mean that their relationship improved.
The carriage stopped in the city as the two men glared fiercely at each other as if they were about to fight.
To one of the seven most famous cities in the world, the Dungeon City.
‘Hoyeon.’
Bear Soo-in and Nam-woong moved their feet, recalling their old rivals.

“So, are you going to rest next week?”
“Okay.”
I said sorry. However, the party was not as dissatisfied as expected. Rather, they were busy celebrating as if it was a good opportunity.
“Martial arts exchanges with Suin… This is a very valuable opportunity. Congratulations.”
“Is it that rare?”
“Beasts are a race that succeeded in stopping humanity with only their own bodies? The Royal Knight Gun of the Empire and the Ranger Gun of the Great Forest, it is difficult to beat a beastman in a one-on-one fight.”
I wonder if it was that much, I looked at Orion while thinking that. I think I was a spy or something, but I knew the world situation well enough to be suspicious.
Ordinary people would have no idea about who is stronger among the strongest people in each country, and who is under certain conditions.
In fact, Rize also exclaimed as if he had no idea about the Beast Man, as if hearing Orion’s words were amazing.
‘I think I know what he’s been up to.’
After calming down my thoughts for a while, I asked Raise and Orion for their understanding.
“Anyway, that’s it. I think the next hunt will take a while.”
“It’s okay. Oh, if possible, can I go take a look? I want to see the beast race fighting.”
“I’ll ask and see, I don’t know if it will work.”
Traditionally, martial arts exchange is not a very open event. It’s hard not to hide martial arts’ secrets on Earth, so it’s hard not to publicize them widely, so if there was an event like this, it would be publicized extensively to attract people.
‘Because it feels like the Middle Ages here.’
Martial arts in the Middle Ages were based on one-person transmission and outsiders. In medieval Japan, in order to learn a secret swordsmanship, she worked for a dojo for over ten years, and even that was not enough, to the point of marrying the head of the family.
I don’t think this world will be very different. Rather, I would have added more.
‘Thinking about it, he was strong back then too.’
Recalling the wolf beastman I met in the warlock’s warehouse, I held on to my pounding heart and waited for the exchange day to come.
* * *
An event is not a one-day event. It is basic to prepare for those days, even weeks or even years in advance.
Although this exchange was decided quite hastily, it was rather busy because of that.
“Quickly build up!”
“The scroll isn’t there, it’s over there!”
The door of the dojang, which was usually wide open, was firmly closed, and the wall, which was not very high, was covered by a temporarily prepared wall.
In addition to that, anti-magic scrolls began to be spread all over the dojo to prevent anyone from monitoring the inside with magic.
‘Should I go this far?’
For me, coming from a world where the value of martial arts is creepy, it was quite bizarre. To the point where I want to do something like that to avoid people’s eyes…….
As I stared blankly at it, Hoyeon approached and nodded.
“Thank you for responding to my request. Dojin-kun.”
“No, what. You are my colleague’s teacher.”
“Thank you for calling me that. After all, you are teaching for money.”
After hearing that, I was worried that the other disciples might be dissatisfied. First of all, they must be in a position to pay the same money and receive it.
“Are there any complaints from the other disciples?”
“All the disgruntled disciples disappeared after being beaten by your colleague.”
“Hoo, is that so?”
I looked at the galaxy carefully. She was ashamed of having beaten and silenced a person, so she kept her head down and fell into silence.
Leaving her alone, I asked why Hoyeon chose me.
“There are so many disciples, why did you choose me?”
“There aren’t many people who can be called disciples.”
“… What is that?”
“You understand the difference between teaching one person and teaching many.”
Those who have learned martial arts at least once can understand it very easily. This is what she said. He has many disciples, but not all of them are disciples.
The same is true in modern times. Just because I paid to enroll in a boxing gym doesn’t mean I became a disciple of the boxing manager.
It was just a member of a boxing gym. A person who can be called a disciple is probably someone who prepares to become a pro.
“And above all, I wanted to show that there are people among humans who have trained in martial arts that cannot be ignored.”
“…… What are the benefits?”
“Wouldn’t it be enough to make you realize that beastmen aren’t always the strongest?”
“You’ve never seen my skills before?”
“When you reach our level, you know just by looking at it.”
Hoyeon smiled as she said that. Then, her fist her flew. I casually drew her sword and slashed her fist her.
It was a fantasy.
“Look.”
“…… Your hands are in trouble.”
My body her, reacting to her murder her, instinctively tensed my muscles, and at our level, I could tell the other person’s ability her just by that.
According to ancient times, battles between masters are decided even before such a fight.
“Where did a master like you fall from… Isn’t it really strange?”
“I do not know. Did you only swing your sword in the mountains?”
“Haha, there is a limit to the level that can be achieved by training alone. You feel the history. Incredibly thick and wide history.”
Hoyeon seemed to have grasped my swordsmanship to some extent just by that act. It must have been a problem that the gist of the swordsmanship he grasped was so absurd….
‘Hey, it’s a swordsmanship created by that person.’
All of Europe, beyond Germany, France, England or Rome. Japan, China, leader. Restore all swordsmanship that exists in the West and the East.
It was created by extracting only the advantages of all martial arts developed in modern times, and only words are Joseon tax laws and swordsmanship. In fact, there is a monster that created a swordsmanship that contains human history as it is.
That was my father, and he wanted me to master the swordsmanship perfectly. The plan was halfway successful, and the man-made technology was embedded in my body.
“But, well, it’s a joke in front of a beast.”
So I was looking forward to it. I wondered if the martial art of superhumans created by beastmen could thoroughly destroy the martial art created by a genius.
Perhaps reading my mind, Hoyeon shook her head and spoke.
“Don’t expect too much.”
“… Why?”
“The martial arts of the Beast Tribe were not created in preparation for one-on-one situations. It is a technique that was created after thinking about how to slaughter the weak more efficiently based on overwhelming physical ability.”
“Some elves say beastmen are the strongest in one-on-one situations.”
“It’s just because the beast race is strong. Can a man who has learned how to deal with ten five-year-olds lose against one ten-year-old?”
“That’s right.”
In a word, it means Injagang. It happened because the beastmen themselves were strong, and the martial arts of the beastmen were not that great.
I felt sorry for those words. But you will learn something. It is a martial art that is fundamentally different from man-made martial arts.
Often, martial arts are described like this.
—A technique created by the weak to deal with the strong.
Among the teeth sharpened by the weak to deal with the strong, and the claws sharpened by the strong to slaughter the weak.
What would be sharper
Which one will bite the scruff of the neck first?
‘Even if I tell you not to expect….’
How could you not expect

While I was having a conversation with Hoyeon, a disciple approached me.
“Chief. Came.”
“… Okay.”
Hoyeon moved on with a serious expression befitting a director. Faced with Eunha, I cautiously followed her.
He was the person I would deal with from now on. There’s nothing wrong with just looking at the face. I followed Hoyeon and headed for the main gate.
There were three people standing at the main gate, radiating such intense energy that one could feel their strength even from a distance.
“…… Woong Nam. Long time no see.”
“Long time no see. Hoyeon.”
Hoyeon, who was talking with the biggest man among them, looked at the woman who was the smallest among the three.
“And Hoyang. A long time.”
“It’s been a while. Sister.”
When I said they looked alike, they seemed to be sisters. Hoyeon turned her gaze away from his last man without even giving it a glance.
“What is it, am I invisible? ?”
“Sayoung. Didn’t you die with that skill? Did you learn the art of living like a snake cub?”
“Ha, that sounds funny… Seeing this kind of crappy dojo, I must have lost all my skills. Hoyeon Auntie.”
The man called Sa-young looked at Hoyeon, then she slowly looked at us. He met Eunha’s eyes and burst out laughing cheerfully.
“What is that kid, did he even get a baby here?”
“He is my disciple.”
“A disciple? A human being, a little kid like that?”
Saying that, Sayoung approached Eunha. The vertically slanted eyes began to scan the galaxy as if licking it.
Her nymph her, her torn tongue, stretched out and came to her.
Eun-ha stiffened stiffly at the sight of that disgusting appearance. Sayoung’s tongue touches Eunha’s cheek. Seeing that, I immediately grabbed her and pulled her behind her.
Sa-Young’s straight eyes glared at me.
“What are you? Are you also a disciple?”
“No.”
Saying that, I kicked him.
