Chapter 36 – 36. Men Become Friends by Fighting (7)
***
Shu Yeonhwa looked forward to the sparring that would take place today.
‘How does Mr. Shihan spar with Mr. Atsubal’s skills? It’s a great opportunity to see what Mr. Sihan’s skills are when he single-handedly destroys the bandits!’
He single-handedly destroyed the bandits.
Of course it was a great achievement.
However, if you think about it, it is an achievement that can be achieved if you try to do Shu Yeonhwa.
But that was only possible when Shu Yeonhwa became a member.
An amulet that has been passed down from generation to generation in the Shu family.
If you use the protection that is spread using the talisman, you can safely deal with the enemy without getting hurt from most attacks.
That’s why the Shu family was nicknamed the Iron Wall.
But Li Sihan is not from the Shu family.
Moreover, there will be no skills for stable combat like protection.
The weapon used by Lee Si-han is a spear.
If so, it means that he avoided the enemy’s attacks and killed all the bandit leaders and bandit executives alone.
Of course, the difficulty level has increased compared to when Shu Yeon-hwa did it.
Therefore, Shu Yeon-hwa became very interested after hearing the news of Li Si-han, who single-handedly destroyed the bandit group.
After that, the interest that arose from the joy of meeting and hearing praise in person overtook the initial interest, but in any case, Shu Yeon-hwa was still curious about Lee Si-han’s skills.
A practical sparring class was held, and Shu Yeon-hwa’s heart was racing with anticipation when she saw Atsbal Genedict and Lee Si-han climbing onto the sparring field to begin sparring.
‘Mr. Sihan! Even if it’s entertainment, show your skills!’
And what Shu Yeon-hwa saw was an unbelievable scene.
‘Well, that… ‘A good, sweaty hospitality sparring?’
In the early days of Dalian, I also watched the Shu Lotus Flower with interest.
The sight of Lee Si-han dodging the electric magic fired by Artzbal Genedic with flexible yet refined movements was something to put your tongue out for.
There is no unnecessary action in the avoidance movement.
It was as if he was avoiding it by using only optimized movements.
And the surprise started after that.
Lee Si-han, who was lowering his body and taking a stance, immediately threw a spear towards Artsbal Genedic’s face.
It was a sight that made not only Shu Yeon-hwa but all the cadets around take their breath away.
She was devastated because Artzbal Gene Dick ducked by tilting her head back. If she hadn’t, a very cruel scene would have unfolded before her eyes.
However, Lee Si-han, who retreated due to Atsubal Genedic’s counterattack, said:
He said he was going to stop if he didn’t avoid it.
If that is true, Lee Si-han has proven that he has the ability to do that.
What followed after that were scenes that could easily be called a fierce battle rather than a sparring match.
When Artsbal Genedic continued to use magic, Ishihan narrowly avoided the magic and approached Artsbal Genedic again, swinging his spear.
Atsubal Genedic also narrowly dodges the spear each time and counterattacks several times.
On the outside, it could not help but look like a bloody fight rather than a sparring match.
“Shouldn’t that be stopped?”
“It’s too bloody to be called a sparring match, right?”
“But even Professor Delt didn’t stop you.”
“More than that, those two people are laughing while sparring like that.”
The voices of the cadets whispering.
If you look at the actions taken clearly, it is nothing short of bloody.
However, the corners of the mouths of the two people sparring were raised.
Lee Si-han feels that sparring is going well.
And Artzbal Genedic couldn’t stop being excited at the thought that the ‘wonderful’ fight he had only dreamed of with a close opponent was coming true.
The first time I dodged a spear, I was a bit apprehensive, but after dodging it several times, I gained confidence, and I guess I’m better at dodging than I thought, right? Isn’t it amazing? This thought was removing anxiety from Atsubal Genedic’s mind.
“How about this! Prison of punishment!”
A large sphere of electricity flew above Zenedic Atzval’s head toward Sihan Lee.
The next moment, Shu Yeonhwa and the cadets saw an unbelievable sight.
“Screw Sting!”
Rather than dodge, Li Sihan used an imitation skill, spinning the spear and extending it towards the prison of punishment.
It was the moment when the spear that was thrown came into contact with the prison of punishment.
Li Si-han’s spear passed through the prison of punishment, and the prison of punishment was unable to maintain its shape and spread around.
‘You broke through the magic?’
It’s not that uncommon to deal with magic.
Some people swing a hammer to knock out magic.
There are people who cut through magic by swinging a sword.
But that only applies when dealing with true solid magic, such as earth magic.
It is not used against magic that does not have its original form, such as the electric magic used by Artsbal Genedic.
But Lee Si-han did it.
“You pierced the magic!?”
Atsval Genedic opened his eyes wide and was astonished.
I thought that even if I held out the spear, I would still get an electric shock, but Lee Si-han pierced through it and destroyed the magic itself.
However, ignoring Atsubal Genedic’s embarrassment, Sihan Lee put his spear on his shoulder and took a deep breath.
“Whoa…”
That sight made me feel implicitly that the destruction of magic I had just done was not something that could be done easily.
And that feeling.
“Now let’s settle the matter, Atsubal Genedic.”
The moment they heard that they should end the sparring, it became even more evident in the cadets’ minds.
“I’ll show you my season.”
Artsbal Genedic’s body trembled at Lee Si-han’s words as he took his stance again.
Excitement and thrill, not fear.
This was because he personally heard the line spoken in a situation similar to the final duel scene he had imagined in his head.
“… ! That’s right! If that’s what you’re thinking about, I’ll show you my five senses too!”
Atsval Genedic raised his magic power and shouted loudly.
“Thunderstorm of condemnation!”
The moment when a huge bundle of electricity appears above the sparring hall and is about to hit the ground.
“Awesome song.”
Kwaaaaang!
The moment Lee Si-han spoke, a large spear appeared and stuck on the floor of the sparring hall.
“Tsk… !”
Crumbling!
Lightning strikes along with the groans of Atsubal Genedic, who is embarrassed.
And Lee Si-han runs forward.
“… !”
Shu Yeon-hwa, and all the cadets present except Delt, thought Lee Si-han’s actions were reckless.
I thought I was running towards the place where the lightning struck, like a moth jumping to a fire.
He seemed like a reckless guy trying to avoid the lightning strike using the evasion techniques shown so far.
However, the moment the lightning struck in earnest, all the cadets were surprised and opened their eyes.
The thunderstorm of condemnation cast by Atsval Genedic was focused on the pierced spear that had not yet disappeared.
The spear stuck in the ground served as a lightning rod.
At the moment Artsbal Zenedic fell, he was embarrassed by the shock wave and closed his eyes for a moment. In the meantime, Sihan Lee moved towards Artsval.
When Atsubal Genedic opened his eyes again.
“It’s my victory.”
Sihan Lee was aiming his spear at Atsubal Genedic’s neck.
“Ugh… !”
No matter who sees it. And even to Atsubal Genedic himself, Sihan Lee’s victory was clear.
“Up to that point! You both fought well.”
Delt’s voice announced the end of the sparring.
***
We made them continue to use Atsuval’s skills, and at the end, they ended up showing off each other’s final skills.
This is probably a result that Atsubal can understand.
Originally, I thought there wasn’t much to be gained since it was a hospitality sparring, but during the sparring, I learned an unexpected fact.
One is that my penetration skill can destroy magic.
When the prison of punishment approaches, even if it is electricity, it is in the shape of a tightly balled sphere, so I throw out my spear because I think it will work.
[Pierced through the prison of punishment.]
It was able to penetrate magic.
It was good up to this point.
Because I saw the spherical Prison of Punishment disintegrating as it penetrated the magic.
However, perhaps because it was electricity, I couldn’t help but feel a tingle when it touched my body.
I guess I only felt that much because the magic was destroyed and its power was low.
It stung so much that I exhaled and waited for the sting to go away.
‘Next time, it would be better to just avoid it instead of directly piercing it.’
In the end, the thunderstorm of condemnation falls by using Jeolchang as a lightning rod.
I tried it as a test and the result was successful.
After hearing Delt’s voice ending the sparring, I put away my spear and held out my hand to Atsval.
“It was a good fight, Atsuval Genedic.”
“Ugh… !”
But Atsbal crossed his arms and turned his head.
“Well, even if I won, it was only a narrow margin! Even if the last four spears hadn’t stopped the thunderstorm of condemnation, I could have fought back well!”
He has a strong desire to show off and a strong desire to win.
Atsubal Genedic’s personality of not liking to lose was revealed.
At first, I thought I would make a bet before sparring to get him to join the group.
When I thought about it again, I thought Atsubal’s personality would stick to the idea that he lost if he did it that way and he would remain upset for no reason, so I decided to change his route.
In other words, a strategy that will not allow a rival who fought closely to become stronger alone!
“Artsval Genedic, wouldn’t you like to join my group? I think I can improve my skills even more if you join.”
“What? Why am I joining the group you created? I don’t join any groups!”
Artsbal Genedic trying to maintain the noble wolf concept
But I already know your personality.
“It’s a shame. I thought we would be a good opponent… But I can’t look forward to it in the future.”
“What? What does that mean?
“Today I was lucky and beat you.”
“Yeah, I just had bad luck today!”
“But it won’t be like that in the future.”
“What?”
“As you know, I will form a group and become stronger by doing activities that are more focused on actual combat than other groups. To the point where I don’t need luck.”
“What… !”
“Furthermore, even if you don’t join the group, I will actively spar with members who have joined the group and sharpen my skills.”
After giving a rough explanation, I laughed lightly.
“It would be nice to see you overwhelmed by me.”
Atsbal flinched and trembled, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
“Ugh… ! I-I think I’ll leave it at that! Okay! I’ll join that group you make too! I’ll show you that I’m much stronger than you!”
Atsubal has come over.
“Okay, thank you. I’ll ask you to sign the group establishment application form later.”
“Huh? Uh… ?”
“When you’re both done, come down!”
“Okay. Let’s go down, Atsuval Genedic.”
“Yes, I’m going down even if you don’t tell me!”
Even on the way down from the sparring hall together, Atsbal tilted his head.
Even if you think it’s strange, it’s already too late.
Because I will never let you go.
