John and Miri’s eyes met. But Yohan couldn’t read any particular emotion in her expression. She just turned her ankle around and said.
“I didn’t break my knee.”
As she spoke proudly, John clenched his fists. John did not know the words to describe this encounter. Even if he knew those words, he wouldn’t have been able to spit them out of his mouth.
“It was an unavoidable situation, so please understand.”
The woman who looked the same as Miri and had the same voice as Miri did not know me. She leaned over her legs and put her hands on the floor.
Is it because the movements of the circus are ingrained in the body? Her graceful movements, receiving Yohan’s kicks in the air, contained the atmosphere of a martial artist.
What craziest of all was the system log that was displaying her. There, the reality of the sense of incongruity John had been feeling was displayed.
Yohan barely opened his mouth to the girl in front of him.
“Um, maybe… .”
John’s words stopped there. But Miri didn’t even look at John’s face for long.
She lowered her head slightly and turned to face the jackal.
“Bocchan, are you okay?”
The jackal, whose shoulder was grabbed without warning, was in a state where he was hit on the butt. At the same time, he didn’t even look like he wanted to say thanks. Jackal raised himself up roughly and said.
“hey! already!!!”
“yes. young master.”
“Who wants to touch my shoulder?!”
po-
John almost broke his teeth.
The jackal slapped Miri on the cheek so that it made a noise. Miri, who turned her head, looked at the front again and said.
“I thought the young master was dangerous.”
With a sigh, Miri’s head turned once more. this time in the opposite direction.
“Are you my bodyguard? Did you think I would break up with that guy?”
Before Miri was slapped again, Yohan spoke quickly.
“They say you are the gatekeeper of the sea, but you are a family that smells fishy.”
The jackal turned his head.
He glared at John as if to kill him. And John felt vicarious satisfaction from that expression.
Because he too wanted to kill the jackal.
“Do you think beating a girl is your family tradition? Do you enjoy watching the rest?”
“Ha, really. this bastard?”
A short boy standing next to the jackal hurriedly charged at me. Apparently, he was trying to score points with the jackal.
John deliberately crossed his hands over his face and took a defensive posture. In response, the opponent stretched out his fist toward Yohan’s empty stomach, and Yohan didn’t bother to withdraw.
Kwaang-
A loud noise came from the fist that hit the stomach. It was a sound that could not have come from a human stomach.
Suddenly, a scream broke out.
“Ahh! my hand!”
The boy who hit John in the stomach held his hand and rolled over. He hit the silver plate with his bare hands, so it was understandable.
“Ugh. What’s in that bastard’s stomach!”
The jackal shoved Miri aside.
“He’s a really naughty kid. Do you usually wear armor under your clothes?”
“South Director. It’s a teeth, it’s a baby. ”
I thought so.
The Jackal was confident that he could knock John down. It was not unfounded confidence.
He never lost a fight with his peers.
“Don’t be resentful. Because you brought it on yourself.”
The thick jackal’s fist soared overhead. And John had an accurate insight into the Jackal’s psychology. If it turns out that you have something hidden under your clothes, you want to hit the surface. And when you’re wearing clothes, there’s only one part of the body that shows the surface.
As expected, the jackal’s fist was pointed at his face.
John glared at the tip of the fist that was about to fly.
The physical difference was obvious.
Differences in bone structure, weight, and muscle mass.
In the end, the difference in power that collectively referred to all of them.
However, John had no intention of dealing with the Jackal by force.
shhh-
John’s right hand flew off.
Towards the fist, not the jackal’s jaw.
“uh?”
taat-
John grabbed the jackal’s wrist.
A technique close to stopping in boxing.
It should be called a feat.
Based on John’s keen sense.
This would have been impossible if the opponent’s attack direction had not been limited. Everything was a paving stone for this one move.
“what!?”
Originally, stopping is to punch the opponent’s fist. Grabbing an opponent’s wrist in this way is against the rules in boxing, but there is no boxing in this world.
And this is a fight, not a sport.
There are no rules in fighting.
The jackal’s eyes widened.
‘Have you learned martial arts?’
Kwonbeop in this world is considered a somewhat ambiguous martial art.
The jackal tried to strike John’s face even while holding his wrist, but John slightly changed the direction of the force. What John wanted from the beginning was not a contest of strength.
“profit!”
John calmly guided his fist to his chest, and the jackal freaked out.
“Let go!”
“no.”
John wrapped both hands around the jackal’s hands, which had been pulled up to his chest. It was a joint period from here.
John seized one of the thumbs from the jackal’s fist and broke it.
The jackal’s scream erupted.
“aaagh?! Cow, hand-“
John wasn’t worried about the jackal’s finger.
Because I really wanted to break it.

No one knew that Yohan’s movements were Chinese martial arts, Jinnasoo (擒拿手). Because there is no country called ‘China’ in this world.
However, there was one among them who saw through the essence of the articulation.
‘What the hell is that kid?’
It was the swordsmanship teacher, Bastia. I came to enjoy Frodo’s fish dish for a late-night snack after I was hungry.
Bastia wondered if she had misjudged people even when Johann ran across the table.
Because he thought John wasn’t the reckless type.
‘Is there any grudge between the families?’
He didn’t know about John’s relationship with Huge. It was reckless, however, to jump into a crowd from which there was no escape. But the moment Johann grabbed the jackal’s wrist, Bastia knew.
‘That size is unstoppable.’
Crunchy, and the first thing the jackal’s fingers broke.
It was a reasonable procedure.
That kid is suppressing small joints instead of fighting with strength.
It should be said that it is the standard of articulation.
After breaking one finger, the wrist. and elbows. Finally shoulders.
“Ughguk-.”
The jackal screamed whenever a joint snapped.
John did not blink an eye when he heard the jackal’s scream.
The jackal had to turn around to ease the pain.
Up until this point, it was an action close to self-defense.
“Oops. You, don’t let this go?!”
John laughed bitterly. From here on, it is not an action of self-defense.
“Jackal. Let me apologize first.”
“Oops. What do you remember?”
“It will hurt a little.”
Johann wrapped his armpit around the jackal’s shoulder. And then, Bastia knew what Johann’s next move would be.
“John! Stop!”
John didn’t stop.
Bastia had to regret what she thought was a children’s fight.
“Sipal. My teacher is only until 3 o’clock.”
Bastia made her way through the children surrounding her. In the meantime, John put his full weight on the jackal’s shoulders. Then things like the jackal’s size, skeleton, and muscles were meaningless.
The jackal’s massive body began to lean along with John.
“Ugh?”
Gravity pulled the two bodies together mercilessly. Until his shoulders hit the ground, there was nothing the jackal could do.
Kkwa-jik-!
Then the jackal couldn’t think of anything.
“aaagh! Ahh! Aaaagh!”
The jackal started rolling on the floor.
All I feel is pain.
It was not a dislocation. The shoulder blade is broken. John sighed heavily and stood up. Then he looked down at the jackal who was rolling around and said.
“Why didn’t you rather entrust the girl as your bodyguard?”
Trick-.
“They play well.”
This time, Yohan went mad.
The sword master’s honey chestnuts fell on his head. It was Bastia who broke through the children.
Bastia stomped her feet with a thump to calm the children’s fuss. Then, he shouted like a thunderbolt towards Evangeles.
“There, even the entangled men, stand up!”
The kids fighting couldn’t stop. Bastia fed a shot of honey chestnut to the heads of the two children who approached gruntingly.
“Ugh!”
“Keep!”
The two children’s hands, which were grabbing each other’s collars, went to their heads. It felt like being hit in the head with a hammer. Bastia, who settled the situation in an instant, spoke to John.
“Can we just look at the four men lying around that made a fuss?”
The eyes of several children turned to the jackal’s peggy who was hesitant. Then, the parties immediately took a case and withdrew.
“Right!”
“We just… I was by your side.”
Bastia didn’t want to escalate the situation here. One student has already had a broken shoulder blade. It was also the son of the great family that sponsored this performance.
The children whispered.
“Is that John?”
“How did you knock that big boy down in one shot?”
“I heard that the jackal loses his pulse after holding his hand once?”
“Geuggugguk!!!”
The jackal’s howl grew louder. It was a situation that could not be done because it had not already been done. Bastia screamed loudly.
“Everyone be quiet!!!”
The auditorium roared. When the children’s fuss subsided, Bastia took care of the visible first.
“Those who claim to have just stood there, take the one who is clenching his fist and the fool from Frodoga to the infirmary. The other students stop squeaking and throw some grilled fish into their mouths!”
Seeing the fierce swordsmanship teacher’s expression, the children quietly backed away. The excitement of seeing the fight just before was greater than the excitement of seeing the circus performance.
“The three who got hit by me overnight are following me to the dean’s office right now.”
“No, these bastards suddenly attacked, but why are we-”
thump-
The little boy’s words of protest turned into screams.
Yohan stepped aside a bit at an angle that made it difficult to hit the chestnut and said.
“That’s not fair.”
“Hey, this problem, you bastard. What is always unfair to you?”
“Everyone involved in the fight must be taken away.”
Bastia glanced around and said.
“Who is missing?”
“I… A woman.”
John’s fingertips were pointing to Miri. That was the real purpose of this fight. Her kicking skills were surprising, but things worked out rather well.

Now it’s not that I fought ‘because of her’, but because I can say that she fought’ too.
Miri, who looked at John for a while, opened her mouth.
“I didn’t mean to fight, Master Jackal-”
“I broke in. to a duel.”
John said with an exaggeration.
“I was trying to have a 1:1 duel between nobles. But it looks like my ankle has turned a little bit because of that woman.”
“You said your ankle is out?”
“yes… , so it doesn’t matter if I go to the dean’s office, but-”
John deliberately limped his ankle a little.
Then he spat out words that were not in his heart.
“I have to apologize to that girl.”
“… This bastard is a little shy.”
Bastia pursed her lips and said.
“great. The dancer girl there is also following me.”
At Bastia’s words, Johan shuddered.
More important than winning is designing the board.
And now, the plate is squeezed.
John is now able to talk to her.
