Chapter 128 – I’m Still Ready…

#

“What are you?”

Shortly after starting her practice, Eana Kim said to me with a frightened expression.

“Why?”
“Why are you so strong? Aren’t you twenty years old too?”
“Is there a law saying you can’t be strong when you’re 20?”
“That, it’s not…”

I practiced with a sword, I practiced with a steaming bow.

She seemed very surprised when I showed her skills and abilities that were completely different from those of her hunters her age.
It was natural.
Not only because I have a lot of skills and special abilities, but also because I have more than 15 years of field experience.
If I’m at the same level as a normal college student, that’s even more strange.

As I became B-class, my abilities started to shine more.
I realized that my physical condition had already surpassed the pre-return level.

Of course, I was 20 years old now, even if I had a better feeling at that time thanks to the regular real battles.
I’ve already gained a lot of stamina, energy, and abilities that I didn’t have before.

If the current me competed one-on-one with the 40-year-old me, the current me would win with a 6-to-4 probability.

“You are just like my father.”
“What does that mean?”

Suddenly a father
Of course, I didn’t know who Kim Eana’s father was.

“Isn’t it strange that a college student looks like my 40-year-old father?”
“Who is your father?”
“Kilsung Kim.”
“Kilsung Kim…?”

I searched my memory.
Before long, a name popped into my mind.
It’s a famous name, but there was a reason why I couldn’t immediately recall it.
Because he had already died 10 years ago at the point of regression.

Later rumors circulated that his disciple had killed him.
Of course, there was no evidence, and the disciple himself inherited Kim Gil-sung’s guild and acted as the guild leader, so no one could do anything about it.

It was just a rumor, and I was dubious about its veracity.
Most of all, because it had nothing to do with me directly.

Kim Gil-sung was, so to speak, in a position similar to that of the future Leah God.
Although he was an A-class hunter, he was more competent and famous than most S-class.
The guild ‘Path of the Sword’ he led was famous in the hunter world.

All of the guild were hunters who used swords, and nonetheless, they had outstanding achievements.
One more peculiar thing is that even though they were officially registered as a guild, they received various requests as well as raiding dungeons.
In particular, I remember it as a guild that often had confrontations with underground guilds.

The head of the guild, which was so famous, died one day at his home for an unknown reason.
Of course, there was something to be said.

“Know? Do you know?”

When I showed signs of knowing her father, Eana Kim was delighted and asked back.

“Yeah, you are a great person. ‘The Way of the Sword’ right?”
“Uh, how do you know it’s a guild that hasn’t been created in a while? There are only five members including my father.”

Kim Eana was really surprised.
I felt I was a bit ahead of myself here.
I knew the future, but I didn’t know the details of things that didn’t directly relate to me.

I know that Gilsung Kim’s guild is famous and when Gilsung Kim died, but I didn’t know when the guild was founded.

“I respect your father. So I was always interested.”

Roughly it looked like this.

“Really? Hey you really That’s why I felt like a soul mate when I met you!”

In an unreasonable way, Kim Eana talked about why we became close so quickly.
Of course that didn’t matter.
But she seemed to want to believe it.

“Do you want to? Haha.”
“Would you like to meet my father?”
“Your father?”

She had never met Kim Gil-sung in person.
Because I was a rookie hunter when he was in full swing.
And when he had settled down, he was no longer in the world.

“Your father will love you too. In fact, he’s always looking for lumber with his eyes on. The standards are a bit strict, but if it’s you, it’ll be okay.”

Eana Kim spoke as if I had already joined the ‘Path of the Sword’.
I didn’t want to belong to any guild right away.
According to university and academy rules, students were not allowed to engage in commercial activities in guilds.

Eana Kim was so excited that she couldn’t even think of such a thing.

“Ok, fine. Because I really wanted to see you once.”

It was true.
Kim Gil-sung was a legendary figure to me.
Because he passed away early when I was active in the field.
The disciple took over and ran the guild, but the evaluation was 180 degrees different from before.
Although active in the sun, it would have been better to call it an underground guild.
So it must have been that the disciple killed his master.

Anyway, after the training was decided, we had lunch at the academy – Eana said that the food here was very delicious, and I was happy that I had come to Gaon because of this. – We went to her house together.

“Come in.”

Ina Kim led me to her own house.
Her house was completely different from what I expected.
Traditional house.

In other words, it was a hanok building.
However, it was not a completely traditional structure, and it seemed to have been slightly modified for convenience.

“It’s the house I’ve lived in since my ancestors. Well, it’s been a while, so I’ve fixed it here and there. My father seems to be thinking of handing down this house to me, but I am no thank you.”
“Why, is it good?”
“You lived a long time. It’s not good if there are too many people in one place.”

Kim Eana expressed her opinion in words that seemed to persuade her.
In any case, it seemed that he had no intention of inheriting the house at this time.
But people’s thoughts change as they get older.

I also changed a lot when I was 20, 30, and 40 years old.
Perhaps thirty-year-old Eana Kim might want this house.

One unfortunate fact is that her father, Kim Gil-sung, will be killed soon.
I hope that this relationship can bring about some change in the future.
I don’t know if that’s physically possible or not.
For example, if Kim Kil-sung had an incurable disease or if his death was caused by an accident that happened 100 percent by chance, there would be no room for me to intervene.

“Dad~~ Daddy~~”

“Your dad is in the training room.”

As Kim Eana searched for her father in her high voice, a middle-aged woman walked out from inside her.
She was a middle-aged woman, she said, but she was a very young and beautiful woman, just like her clothes and mood.
I felt she looked a lot like her Kim Eana.

“Okay? Mom, I brought a friend.”
“Really?”

As expected, she was Kim Eana’s mother.
Considering the age difference between Kim Gil-sung and Kim Ea-na, it meant that he had her daughter when he was 20 years old.
Her mother must be of a similar age.
So, it could be said that she was still too young to have such a grown-up daughter.

“Oh, man. A boyfriend by any chance?”

Eana Kim’s mother looked at me with her eyes filled with intense interest.

“No~~”

Kim Ina was embarrassed and pushed her mother’s breasts.

“No?”

Even after saying that, Eana Kim’s mother still looked interested.

“You are sick of love. Maybe only you don’t know Anyway, he’s a very handsome young man~”
“Is your real mother like that?”

It was a well-known, so to speak, no-secret story not only to her friends but also to her family that Kim Eana couldn’t date her.

“Hello. I am Ina’s mother. Nice to meet you.”

Eana Kim’s mother greeted me.

“Hello. This is Choi Seong-gyu.”

Eana Kim’s mother was looking at me with her happy face, then she gently grabbed her arm and dragged her.
And she spoke her words in a whisper.

“Our Ina doesn’t notice much. It’s the first time I’ve brought a man home, so if you’re interested, push through. As a mother, when I saw it, it was 100 percent.”

What is 100 percent?
It seemed terribly inappropriate for a conversation she was secretly sharing with her daughter.

I had not one, not two, but several girlfriends, but I didn’t have to say that now.

“Why are you making such a fuss?”

Then another person appeared.
A man with a stout body and a beard, about 180 cm tall.
His eyes were sparkling, but at the same time, he had a pure atmosphere like Ina.

Even if I didn’t have to look into the information as a ‘scouter’, I could tell that he was Kim Gil-sung, who was praised as an A-class hunter close to S-class.

“Huh? Did you come Are you here soon?”
“Honey, look here. Ina brought her future boyfriend.”

“Not a boyfriend~~!!”

Ina denied it in a loud voice, but Kim Gil-sung was already shocked.

“Yeah, that can’t be…”

His large body staggered.

“I’m still mentally ready…”
“Dad doesn’t mean that the daughter can’t date and grow old.”

“What am I old for? Is she twenty? Is she still old enough not to be in a relationship?”
“Mom gave birth to a daughter when she was your age. I wish she was half as good as my mother.”
“Because she was smug!”

Strange conversations took place with me in the middle.

And…

I found something impressive in Kim Gil-sung’s information window, which I looked through using ‘Scouter’.

‘Also…’

He had the special ability of ‘Sword Saint’, and his level reached 4.
