A heart to give to others
“Lahansen, I can’t learn swordsmanship, so I try this and that. You’ll soon have a chance to learn proper swordsmanship, so don’t try to learn something crude like this. You will only develop bad habits.”
“Stop talking nonsense!”
Hyeon-joon caught the mood and spoke seriously, but when La Hansen screamed, he was startled and backed away.
“And there’s nothing to teach or anything to do. Just do it.”
“Then organize it and teach me!”
“Wow, isn’t that too confident?”
Hyeonjun grumbled and took the wooden staff and swung it a few times. Then, suddenly, it began to move like a storm, as if a person had changed. It raises the center of gravity extremely, and on the contrary, it flattens on the floor and even spins. It is an irregular and sharp movement that is unbelievable that it was made with an unbalanced and dull neck stick.
Lahansen looked at it in awe. He had never seen him wield a sword like that.
“Even if I learn this, it won’t be very helpful if I fight against a proper warrior, right?”
“Are you deceiving? Or are you stupid?”
Hyeonjun swung his wooden baton at once and hit La Hansen in the head. I hit it without pain with precise force control. Lahansen barely reacted, and all he did was flinch his hand. Hyeonjun’s attacks are too fast, and above all, he casually makes movements that are hard to see from that stance.
“I’m really angry.”
“Yes. Anyway, I want to learn it.”
“Oh, how do I really teach this?”
Hyeonjun scratched his head and held out his hand to La Hansen. Lahansen returned the sword to him without saying anything. Hyeonjun pondered for a moment before taking a posture. This is a posture where the hand is raised very high and placed at the top, and the sword is crossed wide behind.
“Just try it once.”
Lahansen drew his sword and followed his posture.
Hyeonjun rushed forward at once, stopped his chin, and turned his body very slowly, lowering his posture as if he were sitting down. Even so, his body remained in position without the slightest shiver. It looked like it was filmed with a high-speed camera.
Turn and lower your body, and attack the opponent’s bottom as it is. That’s what Lahansen knows. In an ambush, Hyeon-jun used that to get out of the way when he was surrounded in front and back, and then dug in after covering La Hansen’s vision with a cloak.
“I’ll show you quickly now.”
Then he got back up and showed the action. Even though he already knew it because he showed it slowly, it was difficult for both La Hansen and the mercenaries to follow the irregular and splendid movements.
“And if you do this.”
Hyeon-jun took up his stance again and rushed in, but at the moment he turned around, he swung his sword once from the top, sat down and swung it again, then shot forward low, grabbing Ricasso with his left hand and changing it to half-swording, stabbing the sword.
“Lastly, you can do whatever suits the situation. You can go into wrestling or swing a sword. And…”
Hyeon-jun continued to show off the linked movements.
In one motion of turning the body and lowering the posture, countless swordsmanship came out. Lahansen and the mercenaries were all stunned, staring intently at the product of madness that seemed to have disassembled every movement the human was capable of.
“If you have obstacles like this, you can do other things. There are things like stepping and jumping, kicking and changing direction, passing sideways and attacking from behind, grabbing an obstacle and turning backwards, and depending on the direction and angle of your feet when lifting or changing direction… .”
“for a moment!”
La Hansen shouted at Hyeon-jun, who was now running toward the tree. He held his forehead and opened his mouth helplessly.
“I-I asked you to teach me swordsmanship… didn’t you?”
“So it’s not swordsmanship.”
Lahansen closed his eyes tightly. What Hyeonjun showed was not really swordsmanship. Lahansen couldn’t quite figure out how to put it. That’s just the totality of all the movements a human can physically see. I dare not describe it as swordsmanship. It would be fair to say that it is combat physics.
“There are a lot of things I haven’t tried yet, and there are a lot of unnecessary movements, so there’s a lot to filter out. I told you. It’s crude?”
It might be a bit bad. Is it that shocking? Ah, with the help of someone who has risen to an unparalleled level like Bahanus, I could speed things up a little. There are too many things to try to develop alone, and there are moves that can only be done with an opponent, so it is sluggish.
Even Bahanus couldn’t stand it, and after apologizing in advance, Hyeon-jun swung his sword, thinking about slashing his face.
“Can’t you teach me that?”
“You told me to stop.”
“No human can learn from watching that.”
“Sweet, it’s my first time teaching others… .”
Hyunjoon closed his mouth and thought deeply. I’m going to ask you to teach me, but I don’t know how to do it.
Unable to bear the dizziness, Lahansen pressed his sword to the ground and closed his eyes. Did God really send such a human into the world? How could something like this exist?
The mercenaries clicked their tongues and shook their heads as they watched La Hansen flounder in a sense of being denied everything he had learned in his life.
Even looking at them, they could see that what Hyeonjun showed was not just swordsmanship. But what about La Hansen, who learned swordsmanship as a knight’s squire?
They already had resistance to the strange human named Hyeon-jun. It’s just Hyun-jun, so I can just say that and move on.
“This, for now, let’s skip the motions of lifting the body or touching the floor.”
“Then what can be done is greatly reduced?”
“I can’t even follow you anyway.”
“Um… why don’t you try it first? If you move in three dimensions, you can do dozens of times more things.”
When Hyeonjun said that, La Hansen sighed deeply and raised his sword.
Hyeon-jun rushed towards the tree, then kicked off at once, lifted his body high, and swung his sword in circles. It was to the extent that it looked more like a dance or a feat than a swordsmanship.
“Hey!”
The mercenaries burst into admiration at the splendid movement. However, La Hansen saw Hyun-joon breaking a pot of people with that action right in front of his nose.
The horror came closer than the splendor.
If you have to fight a guy who moves like that in a forest full of trees, you’d better drop your sword and surrender or run away. It is a lesson learned by blood.
“try.”
“Can you? Show me something easier.”
“Try it.”
“sh*t… .”
Lahansen lightly bounced his body to release it, then gathered his mind and ran at once. Briskly kicking off a tree to lift yourself up, then make a big turn… .
“Kuk!”
Hyeon-jun gently caught La Hansen, who fell on his head because he couldn’t lift his body properly. Hyeonjun lowered the La Hansen and raised his eyebrows.
“Write, no.”
“There’s no way I can do that!”
I don’t have the confidence to succeed even with my bare body, but wearing armor, jumping higher than a person’s height, twisting my body and swinging a sword!
“I have enough physical ability, so why can’t I do this?”
“Aww!”
Lahansen ran frantically at Hyeon-jun, but Hyeon-jun sneaked away and retreated.
“Big…!”
“Jun, don’t say anything from now on and just do as La Hansen tells you.”
“That guy is so mean that he eats it up, and he should do everything he can to harass him.”
“Aren’t you a very perverted bastard?”
“… … What did I do wrong? Let’s know it and eat it even if we get cursed at.”
“I’m not swearing at you because I don’t know that.”
“Oh, really.”
“Tsk tsk.”
Hyeonjun grabbed his wrist while avoiding La Hansen’s fist.
“Yes, I am sorry. I will do whatever you ask.”
“Whoa, whoa… .”
Lahansen gasped, gritted his teeth, and let go. It’s no use getting angry at Hyeon-jun. I realized that how much I could get from him depended on La Hansen’s own abilities.
“First of all, I’ll have to figure out what I can do with sparring.”
“Then you’ll need a longsword or wooden sword for training?”
No matter how well Hyeon-jun controls it, sparring with a real sword is too dangerous. It would be better if La Hansen’s swordsmanship was messed up, but it’s because the basics are so strong and he has a reckless character, so it’s difficult to take care of him. However, with a tree branch without a cross guard, proper swordsmanship cannot be demonstrated.
“I have to stop by the village for food anyway. You can buy it then.”
“It is difficult to do anything right now. Would you like to look at your posture?”
“Whoa… yes.”
Hyeon-joon looked at La Hansen’s posture and lightly swung his neck stick to tell him where the problem was and how to change it in terribly specific detail.
Even in the process, Hyeon-joon showed an endless trajectory of blockable and unblockable attacks in La Hansen’s stance, and La Hansen kept his spirits up so as not to miss those blood and flesh.
Hyeon-jun also corrected La Hansen’s posture and learned a lot of new things from the bottom of his heart. As expected, direct observation and study of human posture is making rapid progress. If you buy a longsword for training, and La Hansen’s skills improve, you will be able to experiment with many things.
If you think about it, you can also look at the movements of the halberds and spears used by mercenaries. I’ll have to deal with them later.
“I’m going to catch you very much.”
“Tsk tsk. The young guy is having a lot of trouble.”
Unaware that their future would turn out like that, the mercenaries looked at La Hansen pitifully. Only Maxim carefully predicted their future, but said nothing. Even if you know it, it is because the hardships are open anyway. let’s enjoy the moment
Hyeon-joon sat in front of the campfire after washing La Hansen, who had completely spread out, with lukewarm water using magic. Then he took out the bread and beef jerky and began chewing them mechanically.
“How about taking turns sparring with me whenever you have time starting tomorrow?”
“what?”
Hyeonjun’s words made all the mercenaries panic. Right in front of their noses, they saw Hyun-Jun rolling La Hansen like he was about to eat it, so they did it?
“You should also improve your skills.”
“Hey, if it’s at our level, we won’t be fooled anywhere.”
“Not enough. You can really die. And I also have a lot to test out.”
In fact, all of the June & Gunter mercenaries are on the side of excellence. Acting as an adventurer, he was blocked by the grade wall and had never fought an opponent who matched his skills, but he was at the level of a decent regular army.

But from now on, the enemies they will have to deal with are the monsters of the Eastern Mountains, the orthodox and the aristocrats. At the current level, it is an opponent that cannot be said to be unfair even if it is massacred.
“You say you’re improving your skills, so you should be grateful.”
Surprisingly, Gunther took it calmly. It is certain that if Hyun-jun helps, his skills will improve. Didn’t you see what he did a moment ago? You can think of it as learning from a knight. No, it might be more helpful.
“Okay, okay.”
“Wow, I remember when I first joined the mercenary group.”
Everyone grumbled, but agreed with Gunter’s words and moved on. Although he usually teases them like a joke, Gunther is their trustworthy captain. Even in battle, it was Gunther who always took the lead in fighting, and even after the mercenary group was disbanded, it was Gunther who brought them back together and created a party. Mercenaries are soldiers, and soldiers obey the orders of their superiors.
In fact, if you put it that way, Hyeon-jun is the leader of this group, but he still needs time to get used to it. They would rather follow orders if they were firm, but Hyeon-jun also finds it awkward to give them orders.
It was getting late, so after setting the order of night watch, they started to fall asleep one by one. Hyeonjun and Gunther, who took the first place by abusing the captain’s privilege, sat face to face in front of a campfire. Gunther opened his mouth when he was sure that everyone was asleep after some time.
“You are our captain. Be mindful.”
“Yes. I’m sorry.”
At Gunther’s words, Hyeonjun nodded and apologized. It’s about handing the sword to La Hansen.
“It won’t all end well for us if you die. I know you need reassurance, but there are plenty of other ways.”
“Yes. But time is running out. It must be now or never.”
“It’s better than having you die.”
“No, it’s better to have an orthodox sidekick as an aide and deal with it now than to see him stabbed in the back in the jaws of the reformists.”
Their eyes met. Both men look a little tired.
“What if he tried to kill you?”
“Then you have to kill me.”
Hyeonjun lowered his eyes and looked at the bonfire. The gloom in those eyes made Gunther realize that Hyeon-jun was really prepared to kill La Hansen.
“Because it means that if you’ve come this far and betrayed me, there’s really nothing I can do about it.”
He showed mercy five times in one night, and even offered to write a letter of introduction to Turaion for Lahansen, who was lost. And in the end, we decided to go down the road to the innovative group together.
I decided to embrace her, so I confessed everything without hesitation and taught her swordsmanship. But if I betray you, if I see a little bit of conflict, I have no choice but to kill it. Now, even if I wanted to save him, I couldn’t.
The two stared at the bonfire in silence. The treatment of Lahansen is up to Lahansen himself. All they can do is decide whether or not to slit the young neck.
