Chapter 36 – 05. Leisurely Training Camp Life

‘Unbelievable… !’

A cold sweat runs down my dry back.

Not even a minute into her sparring, she regretted her judgment.

Siu’s sword was clearly an expert, no more. Siwoo has already slammed down the sword ten times in a row. There is no way that such a thing is possible for a fairly talented person.

“Bout!”

Hyeyeon tried to revive the knight somehow, but each time Siwoo was blocked and failed.

However, Siwoo also failed to attempt more than this. He was fully prepared to defeat Hyeyeon with the sword he wielded. Here, he could have been defeated if he tried to use halfway techniques.

‘Damn it, you’re blocking all of this?’

If it was longer here, I felt like I would lose because of my stamina. Sweat was already flowing all over his body, and he was short of breath at the blow without thinking about the distribution of his stamina.

In the end, the number of battles he chose was not swordsmanship.

“Whoa, it’s getting tiring… Huh?!”

Hyeyeon notices that Siwoo is getting tired.

She intended to use provocation and aim for an opening, but before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw Siu walking away.

‘What?’

Something was strange.

Siu stays still. And she was falling down.

Belatedly, Hye-yeon realized he was walking behind her. As she recognized it, her back hit her floor. And she felt the cold wood on her neck.

“Ugh!”

It hurt even though the gym floor was covered with sand and dirt.

However, the impact on her mind was so great that she did not even feel the pain in her back.

‘I lost, huh? … I? To a man who looked like a beginner? A male candidate who won’t even fight directly?’

I felt as if I had been denied my life.

“Looks like I won.”

“…”

In the meantime, Siwoo kindly even confirms the kill.

The wooden sword that was lightly touching his neck was removed.

However, Hyeyeon still couldn’t forget the chill she felt right below her neck. The wooden sword was enchanted and made smooth even after several bumps, but it stung like a thorn in the neck.

“Catch it.”

“Ah…”

Suddenly, Siu held out her hand, but she couldn’t take it readily.

It’s not because she lost.

I was ashamed.

If you look closely, you will find evidence that he is quite skilled. Even if that’s not the case, it’s not a reason to be vigilant. Even if you are a beginner, you can be strong, and even if you are weak, you can win.

That’s what a sword is, a fight.

“That, that’s…”

“Hurry up. My arm hurts.”

“…Yes.”

It was a word used like an idiom, but it was effective in urging the opponent.

Siu took Hyeyeon’s hand and lifted her up.

“You’re not mad, are you?”

“Tuesday?”

“I have to fight only with a sword, so how can I put my feet on it or something like that?”

“It can’t be. How do you see me?”

“Just joke.”

“…”

He said it was a joke, but his expression seemed like he was glad.

It would be a lie if she said she wasn’t honest, but Hyeyeon thought rationally. She never said swordsmanship sparring, just sparring. There was no rule saying that the opponent should also grab a weapon and fight in any way.

Unfortunately, she couldn’t see Siwoo’s sword properly, and she also couldn’t demonstrate her swordsmanship. She couldn’t understand why she used such an ignorant tactic while she was such a powerful person. She seemed to be quite skilled in the way she wielded her sword and the way she put strength.

‘Ah… !’

Hyeyeon realized something about her.

‘It was to teach me who is conceited.’

She misunderstood Siu.

The person concerned was ashamed of himself for winning in this way. Even if she had to lose, she thought that it would be better for her to evaluate her by spreading the swordsmanship she had learned with all her might.

She said, ‘She is Baek Hye-yeon, but if she had more time, she would be evaluated as the new SS class… Eh, shall we suggest that we fight only with swordsmanship again?’

I stealthily glanced at the silent Hyeyeon, but she was lost in thought with a serious expression. Thanks to that, Siwoo couldn’t even make a suggestion and had to keep his mouth shut.

After organizing her thoughts, Hye-yeon said “Hoo-woo” And caught her breath before looking at Si-woo. She then bowed her head and thanked him.

“Huh? Hyeyeon?”

“Thank you, Mr. Siu.”

“Yes? No, what is that all of a sudden…”

“I opened my eyes thanks to Siwoo.”

“Are your eyes open?”

Siu’s eyes widened.

It was a remark that reminded me of something about her.

“If you pretend you don’t know, that’s it. But I’m serious. Thank you for the advice you gave me when I was stuck in a narrow field of view and couldn’t see the wider side.”

“…”

‘No, I’m not pretending I don’t know, I really don’t know… What the hell is he talking about?’

Perhaps Siwoo would not be able to reach Hyeyeon if she fought purely with swordsmanship.

Hyeyeon awakened her magical powers within 6 months of her first playthrough and became a C-class warrior with only her skills as soon as she graduated. On the other hand, it took Siwoo 10 years to become C-class.

A warrior who graduates in first place is graded a little generously with expectations for the future, but even so, Siwoo has risen to the C rank by making various achievements through his missions, not just his fighting skills.

The difference was by no means small.

“Didn’t you say that the country you belong to is the Kingdom of Palania?”

“Uh… Yes.”

“I see. I understand.”

I didn’t know what she meant, but when I saw Hyeyeon nodding her head, Siwoo thought that things were working out surprisingly well. If you dare to ask about the country right now, it means that you are interested in Siwoo, even if you don’t know about the transfer.

‘Good… Is it?’

“Are you thinking of training? Then together…”

“Ah. No. I just came here to get some fresh air.”

“I see… That’s a pity.”

“Next time. Let’s do it together next time.”

“Whoops. That’s right.”

Her Hyeyeon went away to practice her practice again, and Siwoo looked at her for a moment, then turned her back and left her gymnasium.

It’s a walk to pass the time anyway. It was almost time for dinner, and as I had hoped, I had met Hyeyeon, so I finished watching. His hands were numb, probably because it was his first time wielding a sword.

‘Because there are few people in our jockey who will pay attention anyway.’

Siu, who was crossing the garden to return to his room, belatedly remembered a fact about Hyeyeon.

“I remembered. Those words obviously…”

The words that opened my eyes thanks to you.

That was apparently what her Hyeyeon said when talking about her love affair with her husband. It was her first meeting with her husband that opened her own eyes with her sword, and she says she has fallen for him ever since.

Hye-yeon, who was her hottest prospect, married the leader of the knights she belonged to after 3 years of her life, and the rumors about her always spread. Thanks to a party member who likes gossip and rumors, Siwoo has also heard about it several times.

“…It’s nothing.”

Siu, who had a serious expression on his face, laughed and erased the thoughts that came to his head.

If I had returned to the same world as it was, I wouldn’t know, but this is a reverse world.

In this place, the male leader would become an aristocratic wife and be enjoying the haha ​​hoho tea party.

Even if not, he plans to capture Hye-yeon and take her to the Kingdom of Palania. At that point, the same marriage as in the first episode was already over.

‘Then what will happen? Will Baek Hye-yeon fall for me?’

I don’t know the future, but it was quite a pleasant imagination.

Siwoo went back to the room with a happy face at the first button, which was fitted better than expected.

‘Baek Hye-yeon has nothing more for me to do.’

Just occasionally talking to her, training with her, and talking about her swordsmanship, she will naturally come over to you. It is easy to enlist Hyeyeon if the beginning is good, and he himself has succeeded in it.

‘This life is generally lucky.’

Back in the room, Siwoo sat down in front of his desk to rest until it was time to eat.

He had a reason for returning to the room after he could have dinner with Baek Hye-yeon after a little while at the gymnasium. It was a very trivial and personal reason.

“I said it was right before the meal… Umm, I guess you’re not going to come from the reverse world? The schedule and the like are very different from the first round…”

Siwoo muttered while looking through the secret notebook that recorded the information and incidents of the first playthrough.

He was waiting for a woman to visit his room. Her problem is that she’s not sure if she’ll come or not, and she doesn’t know the exact date. Because in the first round, she didn’t come to him.

But Siu waited for her with her hopes. If she hadn’t been to class for the past week, I’d always hoped that she would come to dinner in her room at this time.

Smart.

“…!”

“Siwoo, are you there?”

‘Come… !’

It was the woman’s voice.

“Yes, yes. Hold on.”

Siwoo hurriedly got up from his seat and walked towards the door to open it. Just before grabbing his handle, he caught his breath as he realized he was too excited. He was in a hurry, probably because he had been waiting for a week.

‘Calm down, Siwoo Han. I’m the boss Don’t be careless because you’re not good at brains. I have to lead the situation calmly.’

“Whoa.”

After taking a few deep breaths, I was able to calm down quickly.

The opponent is a merchant who is good at handling people. She is a woman who will burrow like a ghost and gain the upper hand even if she seems to have an advantage. Carelessness was forbidden, and again, forbidden.

“Mr. Siwoo?”

There was the word “Wait a moment,” And after a considerable amount of time had passed, the other person called Siwoo one more time.

“I’ll open it right away.”

Finally, after sorting out what she needed to get in her head, he opened the door.

As he slowly turned the doorknob and pulled it back, he saw a bun with his hair up high near his chest. Even the hair wrapped in cloth was perfectly Chinese-style dumpling hair.

The dress she was wearing was also close to the oriental style. It was the clothes she brought from the Cheonan Empire in the eastern part of the continent, her country where she was summoned.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Han Si-woo.”

“Nice to meet you too. Her name is probably Hwang Sa-yeon, right?”

“I’m glad you remember my name.”

“I can’t easily forget the original beautiful woman’s name.”

“Oh, that’s nice.”

Hwang Sa-yeon covers her mouth with an elegant hand gesture and smiles shyly.

But every move was based on her calculations.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but would you like to come in?”

“Thank you. And I’m sorry.

“It’s a story that will end soon, so why don’t you come to see me now?”

Siwoo also smiled smirkingly, even though he knew why she had come to see him.

Of course, Hwang Sa-yeon couldn’t know that fact, so he was happy that Si-woo was liking him. There are 54 female candidates, but it is not easy to memorize all of them in a week.

‘Maybe things will work out.’

“So what are you doing?”

“I’m here to make a proposal to Siwoo.”

“A suggestion?”

“Yes. I want to hold hands with Siwoo.”

Hwang Sa-yeon did not spin her words around and brought up her business directly. It was unexpected for Siu, so she pondered over her intentions, but she couldn’t come up with a good reason.

“Holding hands. I don’t think it means physically.”

“Huh. If Siwoo wants it, that’s not too bad. But wouldn’t this be more appealing to you than that?”

“Well, you’ll have to listen to it to know.”

“It won’t be bad for Siwoo either.”

Hwang Sa-yeon sat on Si-woo’s bed. Even though she was wearing a skirt that reached her knees, she naturally crossed her legs. Her smooth skin revealed the beauty of her legs, and she attracted the attention of men.

“I know. I have no chance of becoming a hero.”

“I guess you’re talking about magical awakening. Haven’t you tried it yet?”

“You won’t even have to. I’ve already done something similar in my world.”

There was no regret in her expression. As for her magic, and her ingenuity, the fact that she lacks talent she has already realized painfully in her own hometown.

Hwang Sa-yeon was from a martial arts world, not Earth. It was not the past of the earth, but a world in which martial arts (wu) and hyeop (俠) were alive, reminiscent of a parallel world like the reverse world, somewhere similar but different.
