Chapter 44 – Woman Familiar With Couples

‘Dalian…’

I was a bit dazed for a moment.

The concept of sparring with each other, especially while training, was unfamiliar to me.

‘Is that why?’

When I was doing guild activities, I also participated in a war against an underground guild.
It wasn’t because I wanted to, it was because I couldn’t leave as a member of the guild.

Basically, I thought that the ability that a hunter had had was meant to be used against monsters.
That’s why I couldn’t adapt to the fight with the hunters.

‘Although there are quite a few hunters I injured with my own hands.’

But for some reason, my anti-hunter fighting ability wasn’t bad from the start.
Rather, it was to the point where I wondered if there was more talent in that area.
That’s why there was a reluctance to fight more guild wars.
I feel like I’m really going to kill people like this.

Even so, the other Hunters struggled greatly in the fight against the underground guild members.
Their ability to demonstrate was completely different from that of the hunters in the sun.

For example, if a professional sports player in a ring with strict rules and a person specializing in an unruly fight where one must somehow defeat the opponent to survive, who would have a higher chance of winning?

There are more high-ranking hunters in sunny places.
He had no choice but to enjoy many things just because they had a high grade.
Reputation is one of them.
Even if I was still, money and things came in without stopping.
The same goes for dating with a wonderful opposite sex.
There is no reason to become a criminal.

However, it was the underground guild members who showed a much higher performance when fighting with the same rank.
They literally fight to the death.
It felt like I was biting my teeth so I wouldn’t die.
In order to fight them and win, there was no choice but to break down somewhere.
Or take a life

Park Eun-ha had the concept of ‘training = sparring’.
A hunter who entered the underground guild at the age of a high school student and had only one year of experience.

I sighed.

“Okay.”
“Okay, of course not. Dalian works best. The rest is a waste of time.”

Fighting with Park Eun-ha did not seem dangerous.
I am confident in one-on-one fights with considerable experience.
At least I have never lost a fight against a Hunter of the same rank.

In that sense, it could be said that the balance was not right, but Park Eun-ha was one grade higher than me.
And by current standards, she had more one-on-one fighting experience.
Overwhelmingly.

My 20-year-old body wasn’t used to it.
After considering this and that, I decided that at least Park Eun-ha would not be in danger.

“Are you using a weapon?”

Park Eun-ha asked.

“Yeah, I’ve been practicing swordsmanship lately.”
“Are you okay. Even if you take it out.”
“You?”
“What am I…”

Park Eun-ha took out something from her inventory and showed it.

“I use this, but that’s it for now. It’s not real.”

What Park Eun-ha took out were gloves and combat shoes.
As expected, she seemed to be the type that was good at close combat.
Instead, it is clear that he is not an infighter, but a type that fights based on speed and predictability.

Gloves increase the power and strength of fist attacks, and combat shoes also increase the power of kicks.
There were often small blades hidden inside them.
I saw many cases where underground guild members were poisoned when using the same equipment.

“I won’t use a sword either.”

That seemed like the right balance.

“Still…”

Park Eun-ha scratched her cheek as if she was embarrassed to speak.

“You are D-class. And I… I’m used to this type of training. I don’t want to hurt you.”
“Who is it? I’m class D?”
“Huh? No?”
“Ratings have gone up. I’m in C grade.”
“What?”

Park Eun-ha’s eyes narrowed.
It was the look in my eyes, trying to guess if I was joking.

However, she gave out a surprised voice as if she had judged otherwise.

“That’s great! Even when you were in high school, you were definitely in Class D!”

As she was also a woman who was interested in me, she remembered this as if it were natural.

“Yeah, it’s recent. Your rating has recently gone up.”
“Is there such a case…?”

Park Eun-ha did not doubt me like Ga-hee Kim and the professor of the ‘Combat Practice’ lecture did.

“I trained a little harder.”

I gave reasons that couldn’t work.
Park Eun-ha tilted her head and smiled.

“Yes, you always worked hard.”

After thinking about it a bit, she said.

“Okay. If you don’t want to use a sword, do it. Instead, I’m not good at looking after me, so take care of yourself. Understand?”

I wasn’t saying it in an arrogant tone, but he really cared about me.
It felt natural.

The opponents she mainly sparred with must have been members of the underground guild who were older and older than her.
I would have had no choice but to grit my teeth and fight, and my body would have adapted there.
There must have been many cases of injuries during sparring.

“Okay. Be careful too. Understand?”
“Whoa…”

Park Eun-ha shrugged her shoulders and took her stance.

We sparred with each other within 10 minutes of entering the training room.

Park Eun-ha took her stance and naturally wrapped mana around her body.
I noticed that her posture was not stereotyped.

There is a manual that close combat type hunters often learn when they enter a guild and receive guidance.
Of course, there were Hunters who only specialized in teaching.
Such people were not only found in universities and academies.
There may be people who are better at teaching than actually fighting in dungeons, and there are also people who have great careers but have suffered serious injuries and can no longer enter dungeons.

In any case, there is a manual for learning in Yangji’s guild, and the method of instruction does not deviate too much from it.

However, Park Eun-ha’s attitude was atypical.
I’ve never seen a manual for positioning her this way.
It’s hard to see it as a teaching method in an underground guild.
Because it is very difficult to do so.

‘Probably a posture he created himself.’

It was not taught by anyone.
Perhaps Park Eun-ha instinctively adapted to survive by being thrown into an ignorant training in the form of sparring.

I thought it wasn’t bad.
In the first place, Hunter’s ability is not learned, but given in the form of awakening.
Perhaps the best way to express the abilities given to you is not to learn, but to unleash your potential in a natural form.

Even if it’s not safe, even if it’s ignorant.
That is why underground guild members are strong.

I also got into position.
Naturally, I took the posture I had learned and used to in my previous life.
However, this was also a bit far from the manual.

Since I was young, I was accustomed to training hard.
There was a way I was already familiar with before entering the guild and learning according to the manual.
Besides, I was a multi-type dealer.
Bare-handed fighting and various weapons were all able to show performances above a certain level.

A combination of these things.

The hunters who taught me tried to correct it at first, but later they all thought it was meaningless and left it alone.
Because among the hunters who received the same guidance, my skills were better.
When I tried to fix it, it always backfired.

So I was able to better understand Park Eun-ha’s current posture.

Park Eun-ha looked at me and smiled.
She would also know.
That I don’t see a lot of gaps in me.
And even though it didn’t activate 100%, I found out that the mana I wore around my body was not D-class, but C-class.

“I will begin.”

Shu Woo-wook-

As Park Eun-ha spat her words, she closed the distance and came in.
It was surprisingly fast, but I already expected her to use her quick feet.
Experience, not skill.

I twisted her to the side in the direction she was charging.
She tried to punch her at her open gap, but before she could do that she flipped her body over with a swish.
It was incredibly agile and flexible.

Her legs shot up.
It whipped up and grazed my chin.
I felt a slight scratch, but no injuries.

If Park Eun-ha had been wearing her combat shoes, she would have been 100 percent injured.

I took a step back.
Then, she slammed her torso toward Park Eun-ha, who returned to her normal posture from the position from which she kicked.

Puck!

“Kyaaak!”

It was a shoulder attack using a large body.
It was also a bare-body fighting technique that I was used to.

Although Park Eun-ha was hit by my attack, she was not a fatal hit as her kicks were.
In a short time, he threw his body backwards to absorb the shock.
Great agility.

The more she fights, the more she admires her talent.

“Are you okay?”
“Of course.”

A smile formed on Park Eun-ha’s lips.
As if I really wanted to try it.

The mana surrounding her body grew thicker.
I also thought I should increase her concentration, so I cast more mana like her.

Swish-

Park Eun-ha’s figure disappeared from sight.
