265. Moonlight Sword Technique (2)

A strange man suddenly jumped in through the window of the chairman’s office.

Snow White.

“The disciple is so outstanding.”

Baek Seol-hee started the conversation with the same comment as always.

‘It seems you came here to brag about your boring disciple again. Ha, even so, it doesn’t hurt anymore······.’

Didn’t that guy Jin Yu-ha say that he respects me?

And in front of none other than Baek Seol-hee.

Lina raised her head with a triumphant expression.

“······?”

But, something about the atmosphere was different than usual.

Unlike when I always had a blank expression on my face and would lick my lips to show off one more thing.

Because Baek Seol-hee had her head down with a gloomy expression.

“······There is nothing more I can teach you now.”

Baek Seol-hee, with her cheeks sticking out and mumbling.

What are you holding in your mouth that even your pronunciation is leaking?

‘What are you holding in your mouth······? But, what? You can’t teach me anything?’

Lina frowned as she stared blankly at Baek Seol-hee, who had come to see her with such an idiotic look on her face.

“Seolhee······. What the hell is that─, no, is it nonsense?”

“······My disciple is a genius, he has learned everything I have. Now, as a teacher, there is nothing left for me to teach him.”

Lina was shocked when she heard that story.

What kind of teacher can say that he taught everything in just one year?

In fact, the four years of study at the academy was a short period of time.

So, even after graduating from the academy, if the children who are active in the field as hunters experience a stunted growth, don’t they return to the academy and seek help from their teachers?

‘······Of course, Jin Yu-ha is special. But does that mean he caught up with Seol-hee in just one year? That doesn’t make sense.’

The growth rate of the Utopia Party, including Jin Yu-ha, was certainly enough to astonish even Lina herself.

Especially in Jin Yu-ha’s case, he was on par with not only the 4th year students of the Academy but also the Hunters of the Royal Academy.

But, the snow white in front of my eyes.

Even though he always has a blunt face and acts a little strange

She was one of the strongest people I could count on one hand.

That is why I treated him with more special care and kept him by my side than others.

‘Did that guy pick up a coincidence somewhere? No, but even if he did, there is a limit.’

No matter how much I rack my brain, I can’t picture Jin Yu-ha defeating Baek Seol-hee.

Yeah, in times like this, it’s best to just ask frankly.

“······Did you really lose to Jin Yuha?”

Then, Baek Seol-hee raises her head as if to ask what he is saying.

“No, it’s still a long way off. But it won’t take that long.”

“Then why on earth are you saying that Seol-hee has nothing to teach you?”

“······The disciple has sprouted the seed of the Wolyeong Sword Technique.”

This time, even Grina couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Wow, that crazy swordsmanship of Wolyeonggeombeop!?”

Baek Seol-hee nodded heavily.

Moonlight Sword Technique.

That swordsmanship is the talent of Baek Seol-hee, who has a talent that comes only once in a hundred years when it comes to swordsmanship.

A bizarre swordsmanship that he honed throughout his life, sparing no effort day and night, and even with the magical support of Lina.

After seeing Baek Seol-hee’s swordsmanship, Lina evaluated it like this.

[The ultimate selfish swordsman, a loser who makes it so no one but himself can use it.]

It was truly amazing that Jin Yu-ha mastered it.

If a class were opened to teach that, would any of the Academy cadets last a week?

Honestly, Lina couldn’t help but shake her head.

It’s fortunate if there are no deaths before then.

There would probably be a lot of complaints from people saying they lost their minds after the first class.

‘Seol Hee-na, who taught me the Wolyeong Sword Technique for a year, even though she was my beloved disciple. Or that guy who accepted that crazy training that was too much for a sober person to endure. Both of them are out of their minds······.’

Lina, who roughly knew the process Baek Seol-hee went through to create that sword technique, shook her head.

But then, I didn’t understand even more.

So, the fact that Jin Yu-ha has sprouted the seed of the Wolyeong Sword Technique means that the foundation has just been laid.

Now, this is a critical point where future achievements depend on how you teach here.

But, at that crucial moment, I taught everything I needed to teach.

Does this make any sense?

“······Then isn’t it time to start?”

Nod.

Then Baek Seol-hee nodded her head as if to say something obvious.

Crackle.

But a vein appeared on Lina’s forehead.

She held back her words and continued speaking.

“Yes, now that we’ve laid the foundation of the Moon Young Kyeop Law, it’s time to teach its application. Jin Yuha doesn’t understand all the secrets, does he? That would take much longer than it has so far.”

Then, a timid voice came out of Baek Seol-hee’s mouth.

“······Because I have already failed.”

Lina’s mouth opened in bewilderment at her answer.

“Seol-hee, are you tall?”

Director Lina even spit out harsh words that she would not normally say.

“You were so good at throwing out harpoons with your failed swordsmanship, the swordsmanship and the sword emperor.”

“That’s because their swordsmanship is weak······.”

“And, didn’t you lose to that swordsman too?”

Furious.

Baek Seol-hee couldn’t stand those words and suddenly raised her head.

“I wouldn’t have supported it. Even if that woman hadn’t been crushing it with her ignorant magic.”

“Yes, the Moonlight Sword Technique is about that good. If the magical power was sufficient, it would be comparable to the Sword Master.”

“It’s not that I’m crying, I’m─”

“Shut up. Let’s talk. Anyway······. You destroyed them all with that failed swordsmanship, and now you say you failed.”

“that······.”

“Then, who will teach Jin Yuha now? Are you planning to have him train alone and learn like you did?”

In fact, at first Baek Seol-hee was thinking of doing that.

Because I thought that it would be much more helpful for my students to find the answers themselves rather than teaching them myself, having failed to perfect the swordsmanship.

But then I got greedy.

That’s why I came to see Lina.

“That’s a stupid answer. And sorry, I don’t have time.”

“······hour?”

“······.”

Lina didn’t answer that question.

She was able to guess roughly what was going on in the world.

Probably a year at most.

Or else the world will be hit by a major crisis sooner than that.

And the one who will be at the forefront at that time is that guy, Jin Yu-ha.

Lina clicked her tongue and looked at Baek Seol-hee.

‘······Stupid. The answer is already decided.’

All you have to do is teach Jin Yu-ha like you are doing now.

If Jin Yu-ha thinks he has failed, all he has to do is be there to correct him when he tries to move in that direction.

And if there isn’t a better way, we can just put our heads together and brainstorm directions.

Originally, the teacher learns from the student, and the student also learns from the teacher.

Wouldn’t it be the right path for us to learn from each other and develop ourselves?

However, Baek Seol-hee now seemed to be unable to find her way because she was looking at Jin Yu-ha as a teacher and student with a clear hierarchy.

‘······No matter what I say now, it won’t work.’

Hmm. What should I do?

It’s also a very serious problem for Jin-yu Lina.

I couldn’t just let it go.

‘Oh, that would be fine.’

She continued to think deeply, then smiled mischievously.

“Yes, Seol-hee. You are not qualified.”

Lina stared at Baek Seol-hee and said.

“You, leave the teacher alone.”

* * *

Phew─

Phew─

I swung my sword alone in the training ground while my master was away.

‘······I’m still lacking.’

The master said that this sword technique is still unfinished.

So he called himself a failure.

However, I couldn’t even guess why this sword was unfinished in the first place.

I only keenly felt the stark difference between my teacher and me.

Although they clearly fought with the same swordsmanship, it was different.

Compared to the sword my Master wields, my sword is nothing more than a shallow illusion.

It’s not that the black eyes that the Master swings around are confusing,

Because it was completely hidden in an unconscious state, by the time I noticed it, it had already touched my body.

If the Master had not made a sound and swung his sword slowly, I would have already ceased to be a human in this world during our first meeting.

‘Well, what’s the difference? Where does the difference begin······.’

It was while I was swinging my sword, worrying over and over again.

A voice came crawling in from the side.

“Huh, junior······.”

It was Senior Autumn with a fidgety expression.

I turned my head and let out a snicker.

Because I thought I knew why she had come looking for me.

“Ugh, my junior said it would only take a little while······. I know I shouldn’t have, but I couldn’t help it and came anyway.”

Senior Autumn said, twisting his body and looking at the distant mountains.

I put my sword away and turned towards her.

And he took out the white stone from his bosom.

“Do you want this so badly?”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Senior Ga-eul nods his head like a puppy with a snack in front of him.

“Hmm, well······. Yes. Here.”

Whoosh─

Let me throw the white stone.

“acceleration!”

Senior Autumn, who catches the White Horse Stone while wearing acceleration on his body.

He was truly a delightful senior.

“F, finally, this is in my hands······.”

“senior.”

“uh······?”

“Please keep it well and charge it once a month.”

“······Once a month?”

“yes.”

I nodded.

Master’s sense of taste.

It would have been nice if it had been cured all at once, but that wasn’t the case.

This was inspired by the fact that white stones were used as materials for the highest-level curse and purification items in the game.

The teacher rolled the dumplings around in his mouth, savoring the taste for a while, then let out a regretful voice.

– Oh, it’s gone.

Even when I put the white stone on my tongue again immediately after, my sense of taste did not return.

I am confused by that.

The Master checked the condition of my body based on the sensation of my tongue and the magical power of the White Horse Stone.

And the conclusion I reached.

– I think you can use it about once a month. I don’t know if it’s a cure, but… It’s true that it temporarily restores your sense of taste.

It was once a month.

It wasn’t a cure, just temporary.

‘But where did I get to taste it even once a month?’

Because now I have hope, unlike before when I couldn’t feel anything at all.

I felt a deep regret inside, but I rationalized it.

“Once a month······. Okay, I understand!”

Senior Autumn nodded while holding the white stone in his hand.

That was when.

Tiring─♬

The cell phone rang.

[ Come to the chairman’s office for a moment. ]

It was a call from Director Lina.
