146 – Immediate Action (2)
“You’re going separately?”
When we arrived at the agreed upon location, shocking news was delivered.
I heard that you are moving to a new location this time to learn big skills,
But I never imagined that we would learn in different places.
I slowly turned my gaze to look at Cecilia.
Cecilia also glanced in my direction as if she was anxious and trembled with anxiety.
‘No matter how much I think about it, this isn’t it.’
Will Cecilia be able to learn properly without my help?
Until now, I have not learned even a single basic skill,
I can only guess what will happen to Cecilia when she enters the academy.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t accept it without a good reason.”
“Keuung, you probably don’t want to break up with your lover.”
“… If you want to fight, just say it verbally.”
If you want to fight like that, I will fight you with sincerity.
Flare laughed it off, saying it was a joke, and immediately revealed the reason.
“If you put all of you in one place, you will only disturb each other.”
“What a mess…” .”
“Yesterday, you couldn’t concentrate and looked away often because you were worried about the green hair, right?”
“……….”
Did you notice that?
To be honest, it is true.
I was worried because I knew Cecilia well, so my gaze naturally turned to her.
That said, there is something ominous about going to different places for just that reason.
“And it’s not falling just for you. “It’s also for green hair.”
“… The reason is?”
If you keep giving ridiculous reasons, this is the end.
It’s a waste to not learn the swordsman style yet,
If you accept it hastily, something irreversible will likely happen.
In response to my question, Flare approached Cecilia and placed her hand on her shoulder.
“Excessive admiration can only be poisonous.”
“Excessive… , Tokyo.”
Cecilia muttered as if repeating Flare’s words.
If a blackbird follows a stork, its legs will be torn.
I guess this is what Flare means.
The gap between me and Cecilia is clearly too severe.
As bad as it is, the position is on a different level.
But Cecilia has followed along well so far, and I have no doubt that she will follow along well this time too….
“Listen carefully. “There is no eternity in this world, and the word ‘must’ cannot be kept.”
“… ….”
A sharp remark came as if reading my thoughts.
“What if I try to catch up with you and get hurt? “Who is responsible for that?”
“… ….”
“Think carefully. “I wonder who this is for.”
I hadn’t even thought about it until now, but Flair’s words made me feel anxious.
Everyone has limits.
There are very few people who can break that limit.
The criminal may break down while trying to break the limit and even lose what he has taken for granted.
If Cecilia tries to catch up with me and fails….
If her body is damaged in return….
“Master.”
“!”
Her gentle touch swept away her thoughts and brought her to her senses.
Raising her head, Cecilia nodded her head vigorously and smiled.
Her smile did not show a single ounce of anxiety.
All you see is pure enthusiasm.
“Master, you don’t have to worry.”
“Cecilia… “
“This time, I want to do it on my own and without the help of a teacher. And if you learn Geomseong-ryu on your own….”
Suddenly, Cecilia’s face turned bright red.
Cecilia, who was stuttering, let out a rough breath,
She held my hand tightly and spoke in a trembling voice.
“Ho, could you please do me a favor?”
“…… Yes, if it’s something I can do.”
“Really?”
Listen to my answer,
Cecilia jumping up and down like a puppy going for a walk.
Is it that good?
I’m a little worried about what kind of favor she’ll ask, but since she’s Cecilia, she won’t ask for an unreasonable favor.
For now, I am satisfied just by seeing Cecilia happy.
Party!
“Then the story is over, so let’s leave. You can follow me, and the green head can follow Diesel. Understand?”
After finishing the conversation with Cecilia,
Diesel appeared with the sound of Flare clapping.
The old butler calmly bowed and bowed.
“My name is Diesel, and I am in charge of Cecilia’s training today. I look forward to.”
“Yes! “Please take care of me!”
“Oh, and for a moment.”
When Diesel whispered in Cecilia’s ear,
It was only for a moment, but Cecilia’s eyes widened.
What on earth did you hear?
Before she could overcome her curiosity and ask,
Cecilia hurriedly greeted me and left with Diesel as if running away.
As I was looking at the backs of the two people, I felt a familiar vibration near my waist.
‘No, why at this time?’
“Come on, we have to leave too…. What’s the matter? It’s been so long since I fell that I’m already worried….”
“No, let’s leave quickly.”
Ignoring Flare’s nonsense, he urged Flare on.
Anyway, you can watch it while taking a short break,
What will happen in the meantime?
I relieved myself of unnecessary worries and walked to the promised location with Flare.
***
‘How long does it take?’
Three hours have already passed since we set off.
However, Diesel, who was guiding her to the place, still showed no sign of stopping her steps.
‘Where is this place?’
She hurried her steps and looked around her.
It certainly looks like an ordinary forest, but
It is a forest that looks strangely dreary and ominous.
It felt like I had stepped into a cemetery.
‘I wish I had just learned it at the mansion.’
But the special information that Diesel whispered to me.
She kindly explained that it would be easy for her to learn Geomseong style if she went to a certain place.
In other times, I would say that anywhere is okay as long as you put in the effort.
This time, in order to repay my teacher’s trust, I wanted to hurry a little.
Above all, I learned faster than my teacher expected,
If you learn Geomseong style without the help of a teacher.
‘Side… ‘Should I ask you to do it?’
Master’s warmth still seems to linger on my lips.
I was more enthusiastic than ever because I wanted to feel that again.
“Here we go.”
“Here?”
I stopped at one word from Diesel, but
Is this really the right place to learn Geomseong style?
No matter how you look at it, it looks like nothing special, just a somewhat dreary forest.
As I looked around in a gloomy atmosphere, Diesel suddenly asked a question without any warning.
“Cecilia, have you ever heard of the 12 sins?”
“12 Sins?”
My face was distorted by the words that suddenly came out.
There are many times when we don’t even know basic common sense,
I was worried that if I was asked a question like this, I might not know anything.
But since we can’t lie, let’s shake our heads.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t know. You will soon find out….”
Diesel took something out of her arms and held it to her face.
‘Mask?’
A crude mask made of wood.
I got goosebumps at the bizarre shape that seemed to have been created by indigenous people.
Suddenly, I took a small step back without realizing it when I saw Diesel wearing a strange mask.
From Noble mtl dot com
“… “Is this also a type of training?”
“You really are pure and stupid, Cecilia.”
“!”
In an instant, Diesel’s mask bent and changed into a sneer.
On the outside, it looked hard because it was made of wood.
The mask, which moved flexibly like clay, looked like a human face.
At that moment, reason warned me to run away quickly, but it was already too late.
“Ugh!”
“You are already late. “You are already surrounded.”
The crowd suddenly surrounds the surrounding area.
They were looking this way, wearing the same masks as Diesel.
Each of them held a machete in their hand and looked this way.
When he raised his sword against him, those who surrounded him grabbed the machete.
Why are you doing this?
I didn’t ask such useless questions as to why you are doing this to me.
It’s just that they are targeting me, and I have no intention of being treated quietly.
That reason alone was enough.
“Catch it!”
“Hiyaat”
A group of masks moving with diesel’s signal.
Everyone was rushing towards me as if they were trying to kill me, but I didn’t feel scared.
“Ha!”
When he struck down his sword with force, the masked man was instantly split in half.
One of the basic techniques learned from the teacher.
I didn’t know it could be used to train people, but the effect was amazing.
This is not like sparring or exams that were taken at the academy.
Actual situation.
It is also a life-or-death battle that takes each other’s lives.
If there is even a little bit of hesitation or hesitation, it will be me, not them, who will die.
‘There are a lot of them, but they are still not unmanageable.’
With just a swing of the sword, people were cut as easily as paper.
That scene reminded me of what my teacher had said.
My strength is superior to that of an average person.
He said that your life will change depending on how you use that power.
Now I was able to understand what Master meant by those words.
I didn’t even swing it a few times,
The surrounding area was littered with the bodies I had killed.
Compared to that, I wasn’t tired and wasn’t even injured.
“You are truly amazing. “I’m really jealous of your physical abilities that seem to surpass those of humans!”
Suddenly, Diesel was the only man, clapping his hands and exclaiming his admiration.
“As expected, you are someone that ‘Idol’ has been keeping an eye on. “You really answer.”
“Idol?”
When I asked about the name I had never heard before, Diesel’s mask suddenly became distorted.
Truly anger.
The mask distorted with anger seemed to represent Diesel’s feelings.
“He is an idol. “It’s not someone like you who would dare to speak out loud!”
“Ugh….”
I was disgusted by the fanatic-like reaction.
I thought you were a kind person before you put on the mask.
Can people suddenly change like that?
Is that mask the culprit?
If I take off that mask, will it go back to normal, or….
“Whoa, sorry. You’ve lost your mind. “You have committed a great sin, but you will certainly be forgiven.”
Taaak!
When Diesel snapped his fingers, a clear sound echoed through the forest.
He was alert to his surroundings and held his sword straight.
I could feel the presence of people right nearby.
“Uh, how…?” .”
“As long as our idol exists, we are immortal!”
The corpses he had killed began to rise one by one.
It was as if time had passed, until all the wounds healed.
I am embarrassed by phenomena that are beyond my understanding.
Diesel asked in a polite manner.
“Cecilia, don’t you plan on attending Idol with us?”
