286 – Flags (1)
I enjoyed a date that wasn’t a date with Rize in the middle of the night.
Thanks to this, I felt better because I felt closer to Rize. The feeling of distance becoming closer.
Normally, I was reluctant to get closer because I thought of Kwon Seong-pom rather than a saint, but not anymore.
-Puck!
“Kuok?!”
“Sleep. Wake up. It’s not over yet.”
The problem is that I’m so close that I feel like I’m going to die. I fell to my knees, clutching my stomach.
This is because Rize in Gwonseong form hits me in the stomach with her fist the size of a pot lid.
Even though he clearly had the characteristics of a steel king and even used magic power, he felt the pain of having his internal organs exploded.
“Brother Sivar is an insect. The outer skin is hard, but the inside is soft.”
“Cough! Cough!”
Rize compared me to an insect, but I was busy coughing.
The skin is fine, but the pain feels as if the organs inside it are twisted. I almost vomited.
“But you can’t make your organs hard. So it’s best to protect them with magic.”
“Cough! Ugh…”
“You can use it to circulate the internal magical power. When an internal shock is applied, the circulating magical energy absorbs it.”
Easier said than done. How much effort and talent does it take to master that?
I sighed inwardly and slowly straightened my knees. When I straightened my knees and stood up proudly, Rize was in front of me.
She stands proudly not in her saintly form, but in her royal form. Perhaps because she even has her arms crossed, her intimidating appearance is no joke.
Even if I die and wake up, will I be able to defeat this person? It is even a hard counter to the devil.
‘I’m glad I didn’t have the real Rize as my enemy.’
If he had been an enemy, he would have been a stalwart, a brat, and a rat.
Even if the story progresses, I wouldn’t have entered the academy.
‘It is a real suppressor itself.’
Even the devils are paying attention to Rize. There is nothing I can do in that situation.
I faced Rize proudly and put on a serious expression. Rize smiled as if she was satisfied.
It’s not the soft smile of yesterday, but a killer smile that stands out with clean teeth. Thanks to this, the feeling of intimidation became even stronger.
“A leading spirit that never gives up. It never changes no matter when I look at it.”
“Let’s do more.”
“Good. As I said before, this method is effective in increasing regenerative power.”
There is only one training method that Rize and I are doing right now. Raising regenerative power to the maximum.
It is possible to regenerate up to a severed finger, but Rize wants a higher level than that.
Truly extreme regenerative power that regenerates not just trauma but even the internal organs.
We are literally trying to give the devil regenerative power.
‘I think I’ll be exorcised before then…’
I hit it with my bare hands, not with divine power, but it hurts so much. If it had contained divine power, you would have suffered the pain of your internal organs being torn apart.
It’s scary to even imagine. Just touching my bare skin feels like pouring hydrochloric acid on it. How much does it hurt inside my intestines?
Anyway, since this is the method that Rize taught me, I plan to follow it obediently. Even if you are simply ignorant, the effect can be guaranteed.
“After this training, let’s cut off the finger. We need to check its regenerative power.”
“··· ···”
It may seem like a crazy method, but it’s definitely training. Training that a criminal would never be able to do.
What’s even funnier is that it works. I could actually feel that the regenerative power had increased.
“That’s it for Brother Sivar. Rest a little and then go to Mr. Rod.”
“Ouch…”
I walked along, rubbing my fingers that had been severed and then neatly regenerated.
Meanwhile, Rize forcibly dragged Grace, who was yelling at her. Since she has the weakest stamina, it will be harder for her.
With less than a week left until the anniversary, we set out for special training. This is special training given under a swordsman and a saint.
Rize is in charge of the physical side, and Rod is in charge of the technical side. Thanks to this, my skills are improving day by day as each day passes.
‘Of course, there are no noticeable changes.’
Whether physical or technical, time is running out to achieve dramatic changes in both.
However, since we couldn’t do anything, we proceeded with special training.
“Isn’t it difficult? Here’s a potion.”
“Thank you.”
Furthermore, Ellie herself provided potions. As you may have guessed, it was made using herbs brought from the forest.
I took the potion from Ellie and poured it into her mouth. After leaving behind the bitter yet sweet taste, my tired body gradually felt better.
Since you just did some physical training, you need to relax your muscles. This potion assists with that.
“It’s delicious.”
“Is it sweet? “I added some sugar.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes. Sugar helps absorption. It is better to add it.”
Ellie’s potion making ability was also increasing day by day.
In fact, she was in the same situation as Rod’s doctor, and she always gave herbal decoctions for detoxification.
Furthermore, he went so far as to use the poisonous weed given to him by a congressman who was no different from the devil’s agent.
According to him, when boiled in water it becomes a fatal poison, but when roasted over fire it becomes a highly nutritious food.
“Shall I give you a hug?”
“I’m sweating.”
“It’s okay. Just a hug or something.”
Kkook-
Ellie said and hugged me. I felt a warm feeling as if I was touching the clouds in the sky.
A potion is a potion, but this is much more effective than a potion. I gained peace of mind and the circulation of magic power became more active.
What on earth is this lump of fat that heals the body and mind? Even if I know it, I don’t know.
Casting Casting-
It was when I was half lying down, using the stuffed potion bag as a pillow. Ellie touched my cheek.
Because of her posture, she was able to meet Ellie’s face just by raising her head.
Is it really that nice to touch my cheek? Ellie was smiling, typical of a country girl, with a pure smile.
When she looked up like this, she realized that Ellie was also pretty. Her skin was clean and her appearance her self was no less than that of a noble family.
“Buu-“
“Ah, let the air out. “I want to touch you more.”
She even complains when I blow air into her cheeks on purpose. I did what she wanted.
Eventually, she lowered her head and looked in front of her. Lize is in charge of Grace.
And Kara and Luna were in charge of Rod, and it was not a 1-on-1 sparring, but a 2-on-1 sparring.
So this means that Kara and Luna are working together to deal with Lord. And both of them were holding true swords.
-Chaeng! Whick! Chakang!
Perhaps because he is holding a real sword, the sound of metal clashing against metal is clear. I watched their sparring closely.
The reason why it is done 2 to 1 instead of 1 to 1 is because of ‘connection’. Rod said, the world is not fair.
When dealing with an enemy that is difficult to defeat, he gave extremely practical advice: to strike with confidence. Practice that.
‘Did you say you only struggle unless you have four arms?’
In fact, the load is slowly falling behind Luna and Kara’s collaboration. If you look at it from the outside, it is.
A person has two limbs each. Therefore, even if there is just one more enemy with similar skills, you will not be able to avoid a struggle.
Even if your skills are lacking, if your opponent’s connection is excellent, the gap is rapidly narrowed. It is multiplication, not addition.
‘Um…’
I watched the three people’s sparring closely. The connection between Kara and Luna can be evaluated as very excellent.
Although Kara was the main player due to Luna’s lack of experience, Luna was no slouch either. She filled everything.
Moreover, sometimes he even shows a flash of his unique talent. This connection is possible because of talent as well as excellent visual acuity.
‘Even so…’
-Chaekang!
“Ugh!”
Rod lifted Kara’s sword cleanly. Kara’s arms rose into the sky, as if she had not expected her strength.
A completely empty upper body. At the moment when Rod was about to stab the heart, Luna intervened right next to him.
He stepped in to buy Kara some time until she got into her position. As I said before, it is a link that fills in the shortcomings.
But who is Rod? He is a ‘geomseong’ who rose to the top after going through all the hardships.
-Pow!
“Ke soil?”
This was before Luna could even defend herself with her sword. Rod pushed in with a shoulder slap.
Anticipating that she would intervene, she pushed in from her shoulders.
-Tuk
As Luna fell, the tip of Lord’s sword touched Kara’s heart. In fact, it’s as good as dead.
Kara looked at her in bewilderment, then laughed and threw her hands up. It means surrender.
“I surrender. We lost.”
At Kara’s declaration of surrender, Rod also collected her sword. Rod also looks satisfied.
Meanwhile, Luna, who had been pushed by her shoulder slap her her her, also stood up from her seat her her her her. A face that looks dissatisfied, unlike other people.
Actually, this couplet is for her Luna. She must be dissatisfied because she lost as a result.
“It’s great. It’s getting better as the days go by.”
“Are you talking about Luna, not me?”
“Of course.”
“Even though you lose every time?”
Luna grumbled as she dusted herself off. It looks like he is not satisfied.
But from what I can see, Luna is developing at an incredible rate.
At first, she was anxious to protect Kara. She never knew when she would go on the offensive.
But now, a perfect attack and defense was formed. Even though she was struck by the rod, this can’t be helped.
‘What posture can you hold in 0.1 second?’
This was when Rod stabbed Kara’s heart with his sword. Even at that time, the attitude was clearly a stab.
However, Luna changed her posture to slap her shoulder at the same time as she moved. It wasn’t even predicted in advance.
“There is no need to be too ambitious. The purpose is ultimately connection.”
“Umm…”
“It is true that there are still many things lacking. But the fact that it is a connection rather than a hindrance is a great thing in itself.”
Rod said that and looked in my direction. I’m still lying down with Ellie’s chest as my pillow.
Then he laughed and pointed his sword at me.
“Look at that pig over there. Even I have a hard time connecting with that pig.”
“Hmph.”
I pouted and pouted. Ellie must have thought I was cute and smiled as she touched my cheek.
The reason Lord is saying that is because I have a hard time linking up.
First of all, not only is the difference in skill clear, but my fighting style is to cause a ruckus like a beast.
If we compare it to the Avengers, they would be in charge of the Hulk. A monster so ignorantly strong that it can shake off most heroes.
Have you ever seen Hulk connect with someone like that? At least I don’t have one.
At least there was Thor, but it was only in the beginning. He later fought alongside Captain America, not the Hulk.
‘My strength control is still immature.’
If you are not careful, you may even cause harm to other people. That’s why I fight alone, no matter what.
If it were possible, I would have Rize, but… Honestly, I think it would only be a hindrance. The moment a team kill occurs, it is a catastrophe.
“You guys are done with this, Sivar.”
“··· ···”
“Shivar?”
From noble mtl dot com
I have to pretend not to hear. It’s definitely not because I’m upset.
······Honestly, even though I feel a little sad, I don’t want to wake up right now.
How can I give up this cloud-like soft pillow? I want to leave after just 5 more minutes.
“Shivar. The president is calling you. You should get up.”
“······Just a little more.”
“No. Are we good Shibar? Come on, let’s get up.”
But as Ellie pushed me away, my goal was all too easily lost.
It feels like the stack of frustration is piling up. I trudged on, grumbling to myself.
The weapons are Ragnarok and the Great Sword of Blood. Rod filled in the technical aspects, so he brought all the weapons.
“Listen to what I said earlier. That’s because there are very few people who can accommodate you.”
“I know.”
“I’ll give you some candy later so you can turn your pouty lips back on.”
If that’s the case. I lowered my pouty lips.
Was my simple, simple reaction funny? Rod burst into laughter.
From then on, sparring began-
“It’s too much. Why is it only me…”
I was whisked away like a dog. This is not just an empty remark, I was really beaten like a dog.
There should have been at least some sign of acceptance, but there was none.
As soon as he saw an opening, he struck it down with his sword. I definitely ‘hit’ him with a sword and my whole body hurts.
“Because I want you to become stronger. And you don’t get tired easily, right?”
Rod spoke teasingly to me as I lay down on the floor. It must be at least half serious.
I looked resentfully at Rod, who was smiling, and then sighed.
I know at least that Rod cares about me. I’m sure you’ve heard all the ugly and good feelings.
Until now, they have gone beyond being a nanny and are playing the role of a parent. It also acts as a deterrent in a different sense from Rize.
‘I guess my parents felt the same way as Rod, right?’
My child always gets into accidents, but I can’t hate him for that. Even if you hate it, it will quickly go away.
I thought that I would have grown properly even if my soul had not entered this body.
At least the affection I know from my parents and the affection my road gives me are not that different.
Although there may be problems in the moral aspect due to the limitations of the times, the standards are different.
“Grandpa.”
“Huh? Why are you calling me?”
I called Rod who sat next to me. Along with the unique mustache, a benevolent impression caught my eye.
If it had been the original story, Rod would have been suffering from addiction by now. Fortunately, I am fine now.
But you can never let down your guard. No matter how much you are a load, you are still a human with only one life.
Additionally, she does not have transcendent regenerative powers like me or Rize. There is a need to be careful.
“Don’t get hurt.”
I’d rather get hurt. You will be able to survive with regenerative power.
Did he understand my feelings? Rod looked surprised for a moment, but then smiled gently.
He then reached out his hand and patted my head. It is a palm that feels solid despite the ravages of time.
“Don’t get hurt yourself. Don’t go somewhere and cause an accident.”
“I don’t have accidents anymore.”
“Well…”
Rod chuckled and opened his mouth with a hint of doubt.
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
“You don’t trust me?”
“Yes.”
“··· ···”
After a firm and firm answer, Rod’s reckless murder continued.
“There’s a saying in the East: It’s like trusting a fish to a cat.”
“It’s okay.”
You’ll end up sulking.
