Chapter 228 – Swordsmanship Sparring, Part 2 (2)
Inside the personal training ground built in the basement of Eun-young’s sister’s house.
Currently, only the rough breathing of the two men and women could be heard in that place.
“Huh, huh, huh…”
“Ha, ha, one…”
I don’t even know how many times it has already been reading the other person’s psychology through their eyes while holding their own greatswords for sparring in front of their eyes.
Former S-class… No, since he’s back, it’s been five hours since he started wielding a greatsword for training in front of his master, who is practically an active S-class hunter.
It was not enough time for the body and mind to be exhausted, so there was enough time left.
Of course, it wasn’t just sword practice for five hours, and there were three or four breaks and refreshments to avoid exhaustion in the middle.
Even taking that into consideration, the act of sharing the sword with Eun-yeong with all her might was hard labor and pain.
“Write… Whoa…”
“Huh, haaaaa…”
In an effort to recover her tired body as quickly as possible, she exhaled as loudly and as long as she could.
It was the same with Eun-young noona, who was holding her sword across from her.
I don’t know how many battles it has already been. She’d known all ages since she passed 50.
All she remembers is that I beat her 4 times.
In a situation where there was only one more point left to reach 5 points, which is the condition that Eun-young noona said, she shared a meaningless engagement that led to my defeat almost 20 ago.
… No, wasn’t it pointless?
As much as I was exhausted, Eun-young noona must have been tired to some extent, so I couldn’t say that she was just getting harder to deal with.
Rather, it was after Eun-yeong’s older sister, who thought she might be an iron man, that she was able to show her skills as a B-class hunter just by consuming her physical strength this far.
… She’s talking about when it’s limited to the level that a B-class hunter can do.
If I had planned to end my hunter life as the ‘world’s only male B-class hunter’, I wouldn’t have asked Eun-young noona for such rigorous training from the beginning.
One of the reasons why she crossed her swords again after a long time was that her psychological instability made her express her will to live again.
Even so, it was entirely my choice to choose Eunyeong noona’s teachings.
It’s not the path someone chose to blackmail with a knife, so I’ll have to somehow make as much of her Spartan upbringing as mine.
In the first place, the opportunity to receive one-on-one tutoring from an S-class swordsman was a privilege that made no sense.
A lot of distracting thoughts gathered in my head, probably because of the accumulated fatigue, so I roughly shook them off and took a posture to run away.
Of the four points scored so far, only one point was obtained by repelling Eun-young’s attack.
As such, her abilities were based far more on offense than defense. She is a figure that is very suitable for her awakening ability called ‘Berserker of the Great Sword’.
Of course, that doesn’t mean your defense is poor, but at least it does mean that you’re much more likely to jump in and try to attack than to fail to stop Eun-young from running towards her and give her points.
-… Kwak.
Perhaps because I was conscious of my strong grip on the sword, I could feel Eunyoung noona’s eyes and strength in her grip.
Unwilling to give her any more time to prepare than this, I hurled her body at her without delay.
Eunyoung’s older sister’s training greatsword was swung at me, and the two greatswords were thrown out of the air several times due to the repulsive force.
… When the final swordfight was held, Eun-yeong noona was the only one standing on her own two feet in the arena.
“Heo uh uh, uh uh uh, uh uh…”
“Ha… Great job… , Ha, son…”
“… Thank you for your effort… Eunyoung’s older sister…”
In the final moments of her sword clash with her, I chose a strategy of dodging her body with her greatsword instead of clashing her sword with her.
Right after she swung her sword, a close blow to Eun-young, whose posture collapsed, finally led me to victory in Dalian.
I couldn’t stand on my own two legs as my posture collapsed as soon as the attack went in, but what’s certain is that I cut Eun-yeong noona right before I collapsed.
It was the moment when the eternity-like sparring time, which was like purgatory, had finally ended.
Overall record, 4 wins, 1 draw and 93 losses in 98 matches.
Victory only hurts… No, it was a victory without defeat.

About 10 minutes had passed since the swordsmanship sparring with Eun-yeong noona was over and she collapsed on the floor.
As soon as she thought that the sparring was over, her tired body sat down on the floor and began to go into a state of rest, and within 10 minutes, her entire body muscles were relaxing to the point of being relaxed.
However, it is fortunate that it did not continue until 100 years ago as expected.
Around the time I was letting out a sigh of relief from her in a strange place, Eun-young’s nagging, not nagging, reached my ears.
“Taekyung-ah, wake up. Do you know what will happen tomorrow if it spreads openly like that?”
“… Yes, sister.”
I didn’t want to suffer from muscle pain in bed all day, so I got up from my seat, ignoring the pain and screams of my muscles.
I got up from my seat and cleaned the inside of the training ground, which was quite cluttered with the feeling of cleaning up the training ground after the sparring.
While I was restoring the messy training ground in the aftermath of the Dalian to its original state, Eun-young noona took out her words as if complimenting me.
“Your movement has improved a lot, son.”
“Thank you.”
“And today, in Dalian, there was a legitimate logic in each and every way of wielding the sword. At least, several things have definitely changed from the last time I saw him wielding it randomly.”
“… Is that so? I just moved thinking that I would cut off or avoid Eun-yeong noona’s sword, just like the last time.”
“Maybe it’s an instinct I learned with my body, not my head, so it might be something I haven’t experienced yet. But one thing is for sure, Taekyung’s movements today were based on logical judgment.”
Come to think of it, when I was preparing for the last B-class promotion test, I swung my sword while thinking about my opponent properly.
It was different from now that the opponent was a monster, not a human, but it was around that time that I was able to properly swing my sword without relying on skills.
The person who made me have such a mindset was Eun-yeong’s older sister, who taught me swordsmanship not long before the promotion exam was held.
If the way the sword was wielded changed around that time, three weeks was enough time for the sword to incorporate logic.
“It’s all thanks to Eun-yeong noona’s teachings.”
“Hehe, even if I praise her aunt like that, nothing comes out?”
Well. In my experience, I think I had more memories of something coming out.
She put aside the slightly erotic thoughts that popped into her head and thanked her swordsmanship master again.
“I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. It is true that she grew up receiving the teachings of Eun-young noona.”
“Isn’t that all because Taekyung is growing fast because you have the will to learn? It is all the result of your hard work, so have confidence.”
Even so, it is forbidden to be arrogant. Seeing Eunyoung noona say that, I nodded.
“Let’s wash off the sweat first. Are you going to eat dinner?”
“If possible, I would like to.”
“Today is also Hye-eun’s early work day, so it would be nice for the three of us to have dinner and talk about this and that. Because Tae-gyeong just had something to say to you.”
“Do you have something to say?”
As I was thinking about the meaning of what I was going to say, I vaguely remembered the story I had with Eun-young at the last drinking party.
“Is it related to company change by any chance?”
“You feel good, son.”
At this time, at most, that would be all the important things that Eun-yeong noona could convey to me.
It seemed that she was not empty when she said that she would meet Ok-hee Seo, the CEO of the company, and share her story.
In the first place, she knew enough that Eun-yeong noona was like that, and that she wasn’t the type to cheat or cheat on me.
“Next weekend… So, I heard you want to talk to me sometime around the end of November, is that okay?”
“It’s okay, where is the other way around? Once the opportunity is given, I have to set the time.”
“Okay. So, for now, think about the weekend next week. Because her aunt will deliver that to Ok-hee as well.”
Except for Eun-young noona, there are probably few people in the world who can say the CEO of Eun and Ok Co., Ltd. So comfortably.
Aside from being an SSS-class hunter and the representative of a large guild, the character Seo Ok-hee itself was a person who did not have a wide range of human relationships.
She was a famous person whom few people met personally, so the existence of Eun-young noona, who was directly connected to her, was fortunate in itself.
“Let’s go up, son. Now the basement needs to be ventilated, and the smell of sweat lingers on your body for a long time, which is unpleasant.”
“… Yes, it is.”
“Use the bathroom where your son is outside. Ajumma can wash in the bathroom in the master bedroom… ?!”
At the touch of my hand below her waist, Eun-young noona instantly let out a cute sigh.
“What bothers you so much? My sister’s house has a big bathroom, so we just wash together. Like last time.”
“It’s okay, Taekyeong-ah…”
As soon as I instinctively massaged her ass, which had been strengthened through long training, Eun-young noona returned an easy-to-understand response.
The strict swordsmanship master’s force that she had shown until now had all disappeared, and she had returned to being ‘my woman’, excited by my touch and cock.
“If you go in together again like last time, washing will be an afterthought and you will focus only on your body…”
“So, did you hate it?”
“…”
“If you really don’t like it, I’ll really just wash together this time. I can be satisfied with that alone.”
“… It didn’t mean that I didn’t like it.”
“Then does that mean that Eun-young noona also enjoyed it in her own way?”
“…”
It was still an embarrassing reaction, but that silence soon became the answer.
“Let’s wash together, sister.”
“…”
“If Hye-eun comes later, there will be no more time to be alone. You should enjoy my body a lot when I am alone.”
“Zu, you enjoy it… Where did you learn such strange words…”
“It’s okay, so make sure, sister. Are you going to go to the bathroom with me?”
“…”
In silence, her head nodded up and down quietly.
… Well, actually. Even before I went to my sister’s house today, I expected it to happen like this.
