Chapter 58 – Martial Arts Exchange (4)

Chaeeng!

The two swords collided in the air. It was a bladeless sword treated for training, but the material was the same steel as the real sword.

When swords with the same weight and material as the real sword collided, sparks flew in all directions.

Every time sparks fly, faster. Faster. The swords flew towards each other’s vital points.

‘Be quick.’

Do-jin, who shared five sword techniques in an instant, briefly looked down at his grip. Thanks to the many strong bumps, my hands were shaking.

Come on, squeeze the handle tightly to stop shaking. Dojin looked at Sayoung. Unlucky, pierced eyes stared at him.

‘It’s dirty swordsmanship.’

If I had to describe Sayoung’s swordsmanship in one word, I could express it that way. Dirty swordsmanship. And in the world of skill, the expression dirty was nothing short of praise.

Because it meant that it was difficult to dig so much that the only word that came out was dirty.

Based on the extraordinary flexibility and strength of a snake beast, it is a death sword that flies from a trajectory that humans cannot produce.

It looked like a fantasy sword in that it dazzled the eyes of the beholder, but could also be called a splendid sword in that it was overwhelmingly fast.

What is certain is that it is a superhuman swordsmanship that is different from any other swordsmanship on earth.

‘Fun.’

Yeah I wanted something like this
In this way, I hoped for a fantasy beyond imagination.

Seeing Dojin’s trembling hands, Sayoung burst into laughter.

“Is it hard?”
“It is difficult.”

Chuck. Holding the sword down, he aimed it at Sayoung. Power was equal. However, it lags behind in flexibility and speed.

Indeed, as Hoyeon said, perhaps because it was a martial art created by the strong to slaughter the weak, it was based on overwhelming physical strength.

‘Isn’t that bastard tired?’

Do-jin exhaled and looked at Sa-young. Maybe it was because he was a beastman, but he couldn’t read the rhythm of the original body.

‘Let’s see the liver.’

Even if the tip of her sword was lowered toward the opponent, the sword stabbed straight through. Do-jin thought that Sa-yeong would either knock off the sword or ride it in.

He knew dozens of ways to counter the counterattack that would come.

However, Sa-Young’s sword flew in a semicircle around her. On that subject, it flew faster than Do-jin’s sword and hit his wrist.

Dojin stepped back slightly and burst out laughing.

‘You react late and stab me first? Fuck….’

The wrist that hit the sword started to tingle. Round and round, I tried to turn it, but it didn’t turn well.

Looking at his left hand as if it had been paralyzed, Dojin looked at Sayoung. He was smiling meanly and looking at Dojin.

The torn eyes his were torn even more thinly. The unlucky face changed to a more hateful face.

“Are your hands not moving well?”

Sa-Young turned her sword around and talked. Do-jin tried to ignore him, but pretended to listen to him to give his wrist time to recover.

“Of course I will. It’s my specialty.”

The swordsmanship of the Serpent Clan was fierce, cunning, and was characterized by hiding a sharp dagger. Among them, Sa-young specialized in a school called poison sword.

A technique that temporarily paralyzes a local area by stabbing the opponent’s nerves. It is said that the opponent who was cut by the sword slowly paralyzes and dies as if he was poisoned.

Of course, he didn’t hesitate to talk about it, but Do-jin could easily see what Sa-yeong had done.

“It’s really dirty swordsmanship.”
“Those who were hit by my sword always said that. And fall at your feet all the same.”
“Yeah, it’s because your sword is really dirty.”
“Ha, isn’t winning the best swordsmanship? It’s like insulting you ugly because you think you’re going to lose.”
“No.”

I put my left hand on the handle of the sword, which I couldn’t quite hold, and gripped it with my right hand.

And I took the same position as before.

Seeing this, Sayoung tilted her head and looked at him.

“What are you doing?”

“Come on. I will show you what truly beautiful swordsmanship is.”

“Under…Because it’s ridiculous.”

Seeing Do-jin’s posture, Sa-young took a different posture. The posture of pulling the sword like a bow and aiming the tip of the sword at Do-jin.

It was a posture that looked like it was going to stab anyone.

“Whoa….”

Do-jin, who saw that, exhaled lightly and tensed all the muscles in his body. And explode the next moment.

“Ha!”

At the same time, Sa-Young’s sword is thrust at Do-Jin. Certainly, inexhaustibly fast. Do-jin can’t keep up with that speed.

‘There’s no need to catch up.’

Since when did humans develop strength when dealing with enemies stronger than themselves? I made the best use of his power, and created a way to subdue him with weak power.

Likewise, because the opponent is faster than you. It doesn’t have to be equally fast.

‘I can’t follow it with my eyes.’

Can’t keep up with the speed Even if he throws his sword first, Sayoung’s sword arrives first. Defeat in a head-to-head match.

However, even Sayoung did not completely control the speed. If that was possible, he wouldn’t even have to cross swords in the first place. It would be enough to unilaterally cut off Dojin’s sword and hit his own sword.

But Sayoung couldn’t. Proof that I do not completely control the speed of my sword.

‘I can see the sword coming and pay it sooner than that, but…… It would be impossible to change it halfway through.’

What you need is prediction. Predict the sword path. Read the other person’s psychology and rhythm.

Even with the unusual swordsmanship whose trajectory cannot be read, there is always a fixed trajectory.

‘Where are you planning to aim?’

Read Sayoung’s thoughts. Analyze his psychology his. Predict the path to come from his personality, mannerisms, breathing and behavior.

Dirty, tenacious, vicious, it’s obvious if it’s a sword he wields.

‘I’ll aim for the right place again…’… !’

What looks like a stab is a trick. His swordsmanship is characterized by being flexible. If so, the place where the sword would fly was the wrist.

Dojin held out his sword. I twisted my wrist at the same time as I raised it, making the back of my sword protect my left hand.

As he expected, Sayoung’s sword, which he had been flying in, bent in a semicircle as it was. The tip of Sayoung’s sword, which arrived then, pierced the back of her nose and bounced off.

“Crazy-!”

Surprised, Sa-young tried to retrieve the sword, but it was already too late. No matter how fast he was, he was not fast enough to retrieve the sword he had already thrown out and block the oncoming attack.

Fuck!

Dojin’s sword hit his stomach. Kuck, Sa-Young, who hadn’t let out a single breath, exhaled deeply.

It was not possible to submit the opponent with this single attack. Sa-yeong, who quickly regained her breath, swung her sword and made Do-jin retreat.

“This bastard!”

Breathing is rough. As if he was excited after being hit, his shoulders and hands his were overstretched.

‘I can see everything.’

The reason why it was difficult to dodge his swordsmanship was because he couldn’t read the rhythm, although it was fast.

He doesn’t breathe, doesn’t show any muscle movement. Literally, swordsmanship like a snake that suddenly jumps out of the forest.

But now, the excited Sa-Young was breathing heavily and swinging her sword unnecessarily.

In a situation where he had already read his unique rhythm of his, even his breathing and movements his came into view at a glance.

Whiik!

“What, why, no! That’s right!”

As if Sayoung’s sword was avoiding Dojin, all of his sword strikes missed.

Do-jin, who looked closely at his sword, bounced off Sa-young’s sword once again and took a stance with both hands.

“The sword is written like this.”

At the same time, Dojin’s sword shot fiercely. Seeing this, Sa-yeong swung her sword past Do-jin’s sword and aimed at Do-jin…….

Chaeeng!

The moment his sword passes Do-jin’s sword, Do-jin’s sword, whose trajectory is bent in an instant, bounces off Sa-young’s sword and aims for his nape.

“Keck!”

Sa-Young, who was hit by a sword in the neck her, stepped back and wrapped his neck around him. Do-jin followed suit and swung his sword.

If it goes up or down, if it goes in front, it goes up, the sword that was going to the left is swung from the right.

It was a sword that had been removed from Sayoung’s swordsmanship, whose trajectory could not be grasped.

“That, that!”

Sa-young, who had somehow stepped back and blocked the sword, shouted. The swordsmanship Dojin uses was the swordsmanship of the snake clan.

How could someone like that use it? How the hell!

However, Dojin spoke casually.

“I borrowed it for a while because you couldn’t use it.”

“Rain, borrow it? Kewgh! What a dog sound…… !”

“Is it okay to make such discriminatory remarks that you are like a dog?”

“What nonsense—!”

Chang and Sayoung squeezed the energy they had been sucking on and deflected Dojin’s sword. At that moment, Dojin’s gap was greatly revealed. Sayoung did not miss that gap.

A stab with all its might was fired. He didn’t use his sword this time. It’s just a heartfelt, full of speed.

Seeing that, Dojin burst into laughter.

“Idiot.”

Dojin immediately took a stance while being lifted over his head. The fastest and strongest blow in kendo.

Top.
Hit the head

In an instant, lightning struck.
Do-jin himself proved that a movement drawn in a semicircle can be faster than a straight line.

Wow-!

A loud sound echoes in Sa-young’s head, and at the same time she collapses to the floor. Do-jin stopped the follow-up and looked down at Sa-young.

“Stop.”

Hoyeon, who was watching Dalian, gave a command. Contrary to what she said she would not stop even if her limbs were broken, the limbs of the two were intact.

…… Although Sa-Young’s head was broken and her blood was flowing.

“Move to the break room.”

When Hoyeon gave the order, two trainees who had been watching her ran and disappeared with Sayoung on their back of her. Ho-yeon winked at Do-jin, saying he did well.

“Next… Woong Nam. Is it you?”

“Hoyeon, are you going to go out yourself?”

“No. ‘Cause I’m always the manager instead… Can my apprentice leave?”

Saying that, Hoenn pointed at the galaxy. Eunha was confused and looked around him.

Everyone in her was looking at her.

“Yeah, I’ll do my best…….”

Shouting in her rattling voice, she stepped forward slowly. As if Nam Woong would take it easy, she stepped forward.

Hoyeon, who stood beside the two of them, asked if she was ready, and confirming that she was ready, she raised her hand high and shouted.

“Then, start—!”

* * *

The confrontation between Eunha and Namwoong ended with Namwoong’s victory. It wasn’t that Ha-ha’s skills were lacking, but Nam-woong was as talented as Ho-yeon, so it couldn’t be helped.

“Your fists are heavy. Miss. If you work hard, you will surely become a great martial artist.”

“…… Go, thank you.”

“What?”

Saying that, Namwoong looked at Hoyeon with a sad look. Hoyeon, who was instructing us to clean up after the exchange of martial arts, made eye contact with Namwoong and approached us.

“You guys, are you going to sleep tonight?”

“Yes? No what……I wonder if I really need to go to sleep.”

“Go to sleep. After all, these are the people who will be leaving soon, so we will only have time to talk about it today.”

Hoyeon said that to Eunha and me. With the mansion right in front of her, she wondered if she should sleep in the dojang, but as she said, there would be no day to talk to Soo-in except today.

I was also curious about the martial arts Namwoong was using, and I nodded my head thinking that I might be able to tell Eunha about the techniques he obtained.

Even Eunha, who hesitated for a long time alone, nodded quickly when I accepted and expressed her will her to go to sleep.

“I’ll come after you guys clean up your room, so let’s talk about it in the meantime.”

After Hoyeon said that, she rushed out of the dojo with her pupils. Within this narrow dojo, me, Eunha, Namwoong and Hoyang. There are only four people left.

In the midst of the awkward atmosphere, while I was thinking about what to say, Ho-yang spoke to me first.

“There it is. Are you married?”

“What? …… No. Why?”

“Okay? I’m glad.”

He said that and started licking my lips. It was not at all unsettling.
