Chapter 24 – 24. Mock Battle

Certainly, as Seol Da-jin said, Park Do-gi’s fighting skills were astounding.

The attack coming in at the right place did not allow me to counterattack, and when I barely managed to catch a gap and told him to hand out a wooden sword, the shield was blocking the path of the sword before I knew it.

“Kuk!!”

Park Do-gi’s club hit his shoulder hard.
It was a fairly heavy blow, but it wasn’t to the point of disturbing his posture. The problem was the shield that was pushed towards the body.

It was already at close range and could not be avoided. Puck! With a sound, the body was pushed back.

“It’s not really E-level. It gave me quite a bit of strength just now.”

“You are surprisingly weak.”

Haha!”

“Stop talking nonsense and continue.”

“Oh, are you tempting me? I can’t bear to hear you say that!”

Temptation is the temptation to freeze to death.
I hit the flying club as hard as I could with my wooden sword. It was to forcefully create a gap by taking advantage of my stronger strength.

“It was good just now. But the tea that puts strength into the body is too much. I don’t know if it’s a monster, but it doesn’t work on hunters.”

Park Do-gi, who had let go of my strength, pushed his shield once again. The difference from before is that this time I walked up to the bridge.

“Kuh!?”

Judging that this was inevitable, I quickly turned around and stepped out. His posture was completely broken, but he did not fall down.

When I turned around and corrected my posture, Park Do-gi was looking at me with a very serious expression.

“Are you in balance at that moment?”

“What. This is Mr. Pervert.”

“This is… Delicious. Absolutely delicious.”

What do you mean, fuck

“Raise the difficulty a little more.”

“!!”

Dig!

Fast. Much more than before!
I thought that Park Do-gi, who had narrowed the distance in an instant, raised his club.

“Kuh!?”

I felt a heavy shock in my side.
While I was distracted by the club, the damned shield hit my body.

While the body flinched, the gongbung fell. He gives up his left arm and forcibly creates a gap. The shield is coming to do the fuck again.

That.

Tuong!!!

Push with force!

“Like?”

For the first time, Park Do-gi steps back.
The opportunity was now. I swing a wooden sword and drive him away. No, I thought it was pushed.

Until I was hit by a club that I swung while dodging to the side.

“Keugh!”

“I blocked you. The reflexes themselves are excellent.”

After that, the same situation was repeated over and over again. If I attack, he will evade or block and poke through the gaps.

So many times

As he gasped for breath, he let go of the club.

“What is it?”

“Stop it today.”

“Who do you like?”

“Okay, you’re not disappointing as expected. But if I stay here longer, I’m afraid I’ll be cursed at by your older sister.”

Park Do-gi pointed at Seol Da-jin with a wink. She was looking this way with double-minded eyes. To be precise, he was glaring at Park Do-gi with a face full of complaints.

“It’s been a while since I found a good piece of lumber, so I really enjoyed it. Formally introduced. He’s Battlegroove’s Clan Leader and C-Class Hunter Park Do-gi.”

“Class C? Class C?”

“I guess Dajin didn’t say anything.”

No, this sister is real.
When I glared at Seol Da-jin, she looked away from her, and then she turned her body toward Jeong Ha-ryun, who was throwing her fist at her awkwardly.

‘Ah-oh. Really.’

I’ll have to scold myself in bed later.

“Anyway, that’s great. She said she did a good job, but she didn’t think she would ever fall down. It’s definitely not E-level.”

“…Yes, but I was beaten. She couldn’t even attack properly.”

As a bonus, my stomach is boiling because of it right now. Damn it.

“It has to be. I’m a C-class.”

“No, fuck.”

“Hey, it’s a joke. I’m afraid someone might think that Dajin isn’t her brother, so I’m a little rough-mouthed.”

“I think Buddha is the only person who doesn’t speak harshly against you.”

“Haha! You say the same thing as my clanmates! Anyway, that’s the joke. Does her brother know what she lacks?”

“Strength.”

“That’s right. But it’s too comprehensive. Try narrowing it down a bit.”

“Experience?”

Although she has fought many monsters like goblins, she has hardly ever fought properly with the same hunter. The blue-haired guy at the harem party was someone I couldn’t compete with in the first place.

“That is lacking, but what is lacking most of all is technology. Fighting isn’t about winning just because you’re strong.”

He cited powerlifters and strongmen as examples. They say that they are very strong, but if they fight against a professionally trained martial artist, they will lose a hundred times.

“The ability to detect an opponent’s attack, the movements that deceive that eye, how to measure distance, how to counter an opponent’s attack, how to deal with an attack, etc. What my brother lacks is this type of fighting skill.”

“It is difficult.”

“It is difficult. But to beat the hunters from the academy, you must learn. That’s because they learned all these fighting skills from the academy.”

If so, you must learn it.

Because I can’t apply to those ignorant academy idiots. I don’t know if it’s simply applied, but it’s obvious that those cybalums will even blow teabagging.

Just imagining it makes me feel like my blood is gushing backwards. I can’t afford to be insulted like that.

“If you promise me one thing, I can teach you my sister.”

“What promise?”

“Dalian.”

“Yes?”

“If you promise me that you will compete with me when you become C-level later, I will teach you everything I know.”

Park Do-gi then pulled out a piece of paper from his chest and held it out. Crazy. I even have a contract, this guy.

“…I’m going to sign it for now, but if you like fighting that much, wouldn’t it be fine to fight with the same C ranks?”

“If it were easy, would I do this? Hunters don’t fight because they’re pure cowards. I won’t do it because it interferes with going around the gate, and there’s no benefit to fighting, so I won’t do it, blah blah.”

“Then what about B grade?”

“B-rankers don’t fight anymore because of image management or whatnot.”

Well, it’s understandable since it’s exposed to various media from B grade onwards. Not to mention more than that.

“Then did your sister sign the same contract as me?”

“Danjin? It’s okay, of course not. We even added a clause saying that we wouldn’t hold each other accountable even if we were taken to the hospital.”

Somehow, I heard that there is a unique characteristic of being a battle fanatic. Seol Da-jin was also a pervert like Park Do-gi.

‘But I didn’t see that kind of temperament even when he applied it on me in bed.’

Is it something different too?

Anyway, as long as the contract was signed, I started learning combat techniques from Do-gi Park. As Seol Dajin said, he also had a great talent for teaching.

The explanations fit into his head, and he didn’t spare himself when practicing. Thanks to that, I could see my skills improving.

General Attribute: [Weapon skill (lv.M)]

Through the status window, of course.

With the help of Park Do-gi, I pressed the characteristics to evolve the weapon skill that was maxed out. Looking forward to what evolution traits will come out.

「Would you like to consume 3000 points to evolve general attribute: [Weapon skill (lv.M)]?」

“…”

Doesn’t come out

Why?

Is it because it is a general characteristic?

‘Or maybe there’s no choice.’

The only weapon I would use was a sword. Perhaps this is the reason.

It was somewhat disappointing, but I still had to evolve it, so I pressed the YES button. In the meantime, the 3,000 points accumulated by disabling Jeong Ha-ryun and the E-level gate disappeared in an instant.

“Characteristic evolution has been completed.”

General Attribute: [Swordsmanship (lv1)]
– Evolutionary traits. Physical ability increases when using a sword.

Now, there is one characteristic that is characteristic.

‘Ha-ryun’s trait…Is still there.’

On the other hand, Jung Ha-ryun’s overpower and chanting acceleration were not yet at the maximum level.

Well, if it was natural, it was natural.
It’s because I’ve been training less these days. Leveling up was delayed as much as the chance to use magic was reduced.

‘Although his punching has become rather sharp instead.’

As a bonus, it seems like we’ve become very close even though we’ve made up our minds.
Recently, the two of them went shopping without me at all, and today they said they are going on a restaurant tour and cafe tour.

It’s good to be close, but something is a bit lonely.

‘I still have to put up with it.’

You should be a little closer so that you will be less shocked when you tell the truth. Rejection will decrease.

‘Ha-ryun’s characteristics…I had plenty of time until the D-level exam anyway, so I can slow down a bit.’

When I went to the Battle Groove Clan Hideout today after a hearty meal like that, Park Do-gi told me a rather interesting story.

“A clan war?”

“Didn’t Dajin tell you? We’re going to have a mock battle.”

“Oh, it is.”

“That mock war is the Clan War. My younger brother and his girlfriend will participate as mercenaries on our side.”

It’s a clan war… I’m surprised.

I thought I would simply do mock battles within Battlegroove. Is there anyone from the opposing clan participating in the hunting festival?

“I have a schedule this weekend, so take care of yourself until then. If you have any questions, ask Dajin.”

“All right.”

Anyway, Seol Da-jin decided to come to my room today, so I guess I could ask him a serious question then. After having sex first, of course.

“Okay, so let’s see how much I’ve grown in the meantime, shall we?”

Is it a Dalian application?

“Come on.”

Haha!!”

I gladly raised the wooden sword.
