175. Mirror and water moon – (2)
***
ㅡ!
The trajectory of the rushing wind was clearly visible to Glesia.
In someone’s gaze, no, in the gaze of everyone except one’s own, the only thing that makes the wind move is the air. It won’t look right.
So, she had never had much difficulty in sparring with many cadets.
When I let the wind dwell in the sword, the power went straight, so the opposing cadets coped with it to some extent, but after receiving advice from my sister on how to handle the characteristics, that completely changed.

Just that alone made her realize the use of an incomparable characteristic.
‘The sword is just an extension of my power.’
Wind was my only strength that could only be manifested according to my will.
It was a very simple logic, but when thinking was greatly expanded with it, it was possible to make almost infinite changes regarding the handling of characteristics.
Even when I made an appointment with Han Chun-seong, I didn’t think that I could beat him.
Because I wasn’t one to ignore reality and overestimate myself.
Emotions such as arrogance and conceit were emotions to be avoided, and for me, who grew up watching my sister, I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to be conceited.
I didn’t even know defeat in the first place.
I have come to accept reality as I win if I win and as I lose if I lose.
‘Yeah, that was all.’
and the result. Among the cadets in the same class, I felt the most in the sparring with Leonhard.
innate genius.
A wall of traits and talents.
Leonhardt grows greatly with each passing day and shows an overwhelming presence.
It was to the point where even other cadets couldn’t even compare their level of growth. Even though I felt that I was improving, I could feel the difference.
At first, I felt like my heart would break because of that, so there were times when I avoided sparring.
However, after forcing myself to face it, my heart gradually calmed down. I get used to losing, and I naturally find a way to cope with it in sparring.
Without facing the reality of my weakness, it was impossible to even see beyond it.
In that sense, ironically, I was able to find it in Han Chun-seong.
‘Looking back, it wasn’t something I could simply admire and move on.’
Han Chun-seong, who had his first sparring with Leonhard, probably felt it was natural. Against a sword with a spear, of course you can have the upper hand.
But looking at it in that situation, it didn’t seem natural in the slightest.
Considering the difference in characteristic grade and various other environments, it was clear that Han Chun-seong was shaking and giving distance.
Crossroads throughout Dalian. Understanding the principle of compatibility and firmly protecting it was a matter of instinct. At that time, I clearly felt why I couldn’t understand the character of Agar.
That was ‘genius’.
A natural genius that cannot be understood and imitated… … .
And it is still in my sight.
sunken black eyes.
Even while avoiding the wind, he calmly seeks opportunities.
Even though he realized the irrationality of the relationship, he doesn’t care at all.
As if Leonhardt calmly calmed himself down by receiving the spear, this time Han Chun-seong took on the same appearance as before.
They avoid the wind that is constantly being shot at them or keep their positions, and even if they are pushed away, they immediately close the distance to maintain a strange gap.
I try to somehow keep a distance enough to rush at me at any time.
Even though I thought it gave me a chance to win, it made me completely unable to relax.
Seruk!
It evades the blown wind by twisting its waist like an acrobatics.
A car swaying in the aftermath of the wind.
ㅡㅡ!!
Another wind that I manifested aimed at him, and this time he came face to face with the wind.
A young bluish spiral on the blade.
The wind splits between the splendidly fluttering fragments of blue light and disappears as it is offset.
Even though I was conscious of that, I was piercing the air with my sword.
Shashak!
The wind blows again along the sword path cut in the shape of a cross.
The two consecutive winds that went forward without a break blocked all the paths that Han Chun-seong was moving.
Even in the midst of various thoughts, I was naturally dealing with the wind.
And every time Han Chun-seong hesitates, gets pushed away, and sometimes tries to close the distance.
It feels like a situation that has already been repeated several times, but it feels strangely different.
A series of sluggish sparring. Dalian, in which each other failed to inflict fatal blows on each other.
I take the offensive from beginning to end, and how Han Chun-seong receives it, spills it, and approaches me.
That’s why I wasn’t in a hurry either.
‘I’m sure the victory in this sparring is with me.’
That much I could be sure of.
Unless I give Han Chun-seong some distance, Han Chun-seong’s spear will never reach me.
No matter how strong the power of Hancheonseong is, no matter how mysterious the power of the spiral is, the result does not change.
Even this… … .
‘Because I learned from you.’
Having recalled that sparring hundreds of times, I fully understood how Han Chun-seong was able to achieve an even match against Leonhard, who was now evaluated as an out-of-standard existence.
It was the fact that Han Chun-seong had the upper hand, and never let his guard down.
They don’t give up a gap while continuing to attack. That was the momentum, and it was the best defense to block the opponent’s attack.
It was like recreating him at that time against Han Chun-seong now. So, in this Dalian, I couldn’t lose.
The fact that I, who had to suffer defeat in the initial sparring with Leonhardt, is now on par with me. Because I realized the logic of the intersection.
Unlike other elements, wind does not have overwhelming power of its own, but compared to other element series, it had an unrivaled advantage.
You can push the force right away.
Being able to block access to anything through the wind meant a lot. It was like having a superiority against almost all close-range opponents. At the same time as I thought, I held the sword with both hands again and slashed sharply into the air.
Pang——!
At the end of the swing of the sword, a huge shockwave erupted again.
How to dig into the gap, it was to push back hugely towards the agaric castle that was close to me.
Shuuk!
This time, unlike before, I cut the spear diagonally, as if I was going to let the wind flow, but a small smile lingered on my lips without my knowledge.
‘If it was wind enough to blow it away.’
I wouldn’t have deliberately held the sword with both hands.

Jureureuk-!
As Han Chun-seong dragged the ground and was greatly pushed away by the wind that did not flow as expected, I took a short breath and straightened my sword.
‘I can’t finish this sparring in a short time.’
Considering the almost indomitable will Han Chun-seong showed, I had no idea that the sparring would end easily.
It’s probably going to be a war of attrition like Leonhardt’s time.
And it didn’t matter even if he went to a war of attrition.
‘Characteristics of wind.’
Among the other elemental characteristics, the characteristics that do not exert the most power load on the user.
The circulating wind was even capable of retrieving its power by handling it. At least, it should be much less burdensome than the power of the blue spiral that Han Chun-seong handles.
Confidence was rising in my heart.
‘I can win.’
This sparring was enough for me to win.
***
ㅡ!
In succession, strong winds blew through the arena,
Shuuk!
As if responding to it, the blue spirals of light repeat to scatter widely.
A series of sights reminded the onlookers of a strange sense of deja vu.
“… … .”
Training instructor Avalanche and several other class A cadets were observing the sparring, but the current structure of the sparring between Glesia and Han Chunseong was very similar to other sparrings.
That was the pattern of sparring between Glesia and Leonhardt a few days ago.
Leonhardt has never experienced defeat in a match against anyone. Since his recent sparring with Glesia had been sluggish, everyone had no choice but to recall that sparring.
Slurp!
As Han Chun-seong, who had been dragged along the ground and was pushed back, straightened his spear and flew away again, the wind harassed him without a break.
pop! pop!
When I evaded as if the wind was blowing away, the bursting wind sent a strange aftermath to the atmosphere, and the wind rushed in so sharp that it was impossible to avoid, and it was offset by encountering it with a window.
‘Is it that genius works after all?’
Avalanche inadvertently thought of it while observing Dalian.
It was the first Dalian I attended this year, and it was a very shocking result, so I still remember it clearly.
—-A sparring between Leonhardt and the cadets of Hancheonseong.
The two cadets, whom I thought were very different at the time, saw similarities in many ways.
The movements of Cadet Leonhart, who was said to have no one to follow even among A-Class cadets, were reproduced almost perfectly by Cadet Han Chun-seong, now a C-Class cadet.
It was bizarrely similar.
Cadet Han Chun-seong must have never seen Cadet Leonhard’s sparring. On top of that appearance, a very similar one-step-and-dance pattern continued, to the extent that Cadet Leonhardt sometimes seemed to overlap.
In the face of the Dalian that was unfolding now, the offensive and defensive forces were clearly defined for anyone to see.
Glessia Cadet’s offensive, Han Chun-seong’s Cadet solidly block and continue to try to close the distance.
‘The Glesia cadets definitely have an edge.’
Having made unparalleled progress in recent years, she has shown great growth.
Even now, the light of blessing that was subtly placed on her body seemed to indirectly show how much she had grown.
‘If it’s a unique attribute level 4.’
This was a very impressive growth rate.
However, it was a bit disappointing that the movement looked a little monotonous. I used to finely adjust the interval between blowing the wind to give a change, but that seemed to be insufficient.
Even if they tried to make changes, there was a limit in the end if time dragged on.
It was said that there is a section where changes are repeated instinctively. As if riding a kind of rhythm, a pattern that makes you feel a little more comfortable comes into being.
And if you show a similar pattern… … .
‘That itself is a very dangerous action.’
It is often said that the same number does not work when dealing with a genius.
It may sound strange to hear at first glance, but it was also something that inevitably goes through if you have experienced a genius yourself.
Genius is that the thinking itself is different from other people in the first place.
So naturally, my eyes went to the movements of Cadet Han Chun-seong.
“… … indeed.”
The aura of the blue spiral in the spear was still maintained.
Having been holding it for over 20 minutes already meant that I still had the energy to focus my consciousness.
With just that fact alone, Cadet Han Chun-seong is already proving his genius once again.
How strong willpower can be transformed into great power, and the fact that he managed to draw with Cadet Leonhardt was nothing like luck or instant wit.
‘It fills the high and low characteristics with natural talent.’
From my point of view, that level of genius was enough for Cadet Han Chun-seong.
‘Then obviously… … .’
Cadet Han Chun-seong will even show a genius to destroy the irrational compatibility structure that seems impossible to approach.
If the Glesia cadets don’t try to end the sparring in a short time, that will probably happen inevitably.
‘Whoa.’
Unbeknownst to me, my heart was filled with sadness. Cadet Glessia is now at a crossroads.
A big process to get to talent level 4.
But I already saw the results.
The result that the Glesia cadets had no choice but to be defeated… … .
If so, the Glesia cadet had to realize it himself.
She had to think about why Cadet Han Chun-seong was a special cadet who had a good relationship with Cadet Leonhardt, and that Cadet Han Chun-seong would prove himself differently from Cadet Leonhardt.
