Samurai Hearts – Tutorial (9)
Episode 9
Seungyeon’s death.
Do-hyeon’s eyes, watching it from behind, fell cold.
It’s a VR game.
Of course, the present death is also fake.
Seungyeon is alive and well, and she must have been chatting with the viewers for a while now.
Dohyun knew that too.
It means ‘in the head’.
‘I knew it, but…’
In movies, in TV shows, in documentaries.
In any media, seeing people die makes the viewer feel uncomfortable.
If it’s from a close acquaintance or family, probably few people can tolerate it.
If you are familiar with VR games, you may not know.
Dohyun was the first.
game too.
Watching a friend die.
‘It’s quite… unpleasant.’
So he was angry.
It was anger that I could only feel in my heart, even if I knew it was a fake with my head.
It is a natural and justified anger.
Because my family is dead.
Even in front of your own eyes.
Who wouldn’t be angry in a situation like this?
It happened in virtual reality, but paradoxically, that made him even more angry.
Because the death of my family and my sister was so real.
Even if that death is a lie, the seething rage that erupts from it is unquestionably real.
Dohyun raised his sword without saying a word.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the sword.
Do-hyeon’s force with the sword was sharp and heavy.
A dry face with no emotion.
Seungyeon, who had been watching, flinched at the expression he showed only when he was truly angry.
‘Come to think of it, this is the first time Dohyun has played a game. Then this would be a bit unpleasant.’
-Your brother’s atmosphere is somewhat dangerous.
-If this is your first game, isn’t this your first time?
-Only angry
Viewers were also confused when they saw Do-hyeon’s unusual appearance.
Because most of them were familiar with VR games, it was because they had already guessed what kind of emotions Dohyun was feeling.
Isn’t virtual reality not uncommon for people who empathize with NPCs to cry when the NPC dies?
The memories of crying, laughing, and getting angry in virtual reality for the first time were clearly present in them as well.
Therefore, they thought that Do-hyeon’s anger was justified and expected it.
I wondered what level of performance Dohyun filled with anger could show.
“Come. Musa.”
Ignoring the arrogant words of swordsman Kato, Dohyun moved forward without hesitation.
The distance between Dohyeon, who was walking, and Kato, the swordsman, quickly got closer.
The place where Dohyun stopped was where the sword castle and the breathtaking streets remained.
The area where each other’s swords touch.
However, in order to reach the sword, one must first step forward to attack.
It wasn’t that Dohyun stopped there because he was thinking with his head.
just feel.
‘At this point, it will be breathtaking.’ It was a street revival that came true.
This may also be his talent.
A heavy silence passed between Dohyeon and swordsman Kato.
Do-hyeon looked at the sword castle Kato with cold, sunken eyes.
His standing posture, the hand holding the sword, the angle of his feet, the height of his shoulders, even his exhalation and exhalation…
All of that was simply ‘visible’.
like so far.
No, more than ever.
So, Dohyun took a half step and reached out the hand holding the sword.
shh-
like a single dot.
Do-hyeon’s sword shot like lightning.
It was precisely a single sword that pierced through the breath of swordsman Kato.
“Hmm!”
In the face of Dohyun’s first sword attack, the swordseong Kato’s reaction was quick and accurate.
The sword swung in a clear trajectory mercilessly struck the tip of the stabbing Do-hyeon.
It was an unbelievably calm and skillful response that took his breath away.
Tseung-
A fire broke out between the two of them.
exchange of swords.
Of course, like Seungyeon, Dohyun never missed the sword in a single shot.
Bright red sparks bounced in all directions, and swordsman Kato and Dohyun were pushed back by exactly half a step.
Sword Saint Kato’s eyebrows twitched.
“It’s pretty good.”
*
‘Wow! I’ve only cut it once. That’s a pretty good score, right? He’s really my little brother, but he’s crazy talented! How could you do that?’
-Iknow, right. Someone was killed with a knife only once.
-That’s why, rather than just one talent, one talent.
-I think someone said 50 or so to hear that sound before.
Dohyun didn’t answer.
He continued the offensive without a word.
A single blade of a sword flashes and dances in the soft moonlight.
It was also a line, a point, and a plane.
The swordsmanship that Do-hyun can think of on his own is revealed through his sword.
“I will not back down!”
Sword Saint Kato faced him without avoiding it.
Standing in place, he swung his sword in front of Do-hyeon’s sword.
Zeng! Wow! blah blah!
The bright red sparks, announcing the great success, exploded between them incessantly.
The frying was so intense that the area around them seemed to be redder than the burning Atsuragi Castle.
blah blah! Zeng! Damn it!
A heavy roar rang out one after another.
There were times when three sword strikes collided with one breath and sparks splattered.
Even if the sharp blade of the sword passed in front of their eyes, Dohyun and the swordsman Kato did not blink an eye.
It was a fierce battle that did not take a single step back from each other.
And in the meantime, another talent that Do-hyeon had never realized before has awakened.
‘······can do.’
As I said before, Dohyun never learned swordsmanship.
Far from learning swordsmanship, he had never even held a proper sword in his life.
Of course, if you were to face the swordsman Katou, the master of swordsmanship, it would be normal if you were pushed back badly.
Even if it is judged as a great success, it is the same.
The fact that swordsman Kato is the best swordsman in the country is not just a boss setting.
He was equipped with an unrealistic swordsmanship that suited the setting.
How many gamers were frustrated by the swordsmanship that could not be distinguished by a simple pattern?
Even so, Do-hyeon was fighting the swordsman Kato without backing down.
how?
The answer was simple.
If you don’t know, you can learn.
Didn’t he ever have the best swordsmanship in the world in front of Do-hyeon?
‘Now, stretch, half-breathe, left, about 40 degrees, up, step, stab. Back then, two steps, in a row, next.’
Do-hyeon’s eyes fluttered amidst the sound of metal ringing in his ears, sparks exploding, and the successive intersection of swords.
afraid? not.
excited? neither is it
It was not shaken by any emotion.
He was just observing constantly.
Everything that the enemy in front of him, swordsman Kato, shows.
The shape of the hand holding the sword, the angle of the foot you step on, how your arms move, how wide your shoulders are.
Even how much you breathe in when you swing, and how much you exhale when you withdraw your sword.
And he immediately changed his swordsmanship by substituting all the information he observed in that way.
As time passed, his swordsmanship resembled that of the sword lord Kato, but it became his own, slightly different.
‘Isn’t something strange, everyone? It sounds a bit crazy, but I think my younger brother keeps getting stronger. Am I the only one who sees that?’
– That’s how it looks to me.
– The same goes for my eyes.
-Wow… the more you fight, the stronger you become.
– What kind of cartoon do you think it is hahaha
-Talents become stronger when they fight…
In fact, it was an impossible act.
Learn swordsmanship from the opponent while fighting on the spot?
It’s easy to say, do you think that’s possible in a life-changing battle right now?
If anyone could do that, there would be no such thing as a swordsmanship dojo.
It meant absolutely impossible.
Still, Dohyun was able to do that.
It went beyond simply learning it, and after absorbing the opponent’s swordsmanship, he even changed it to his own taste.
In fact, this is a learning experience, not even that.
To put it bluntly, it was theft.
Swordsman Katora steals the whole answer sheet and edits the answer at his own will, like a monster.
It was something beyond the impossible, and beyond even that.
Why is this possible?
Seungyeon has already given the answer to that question several times.
called ‘talent’.
It was just a talent.
A truly violent talent that cannot be expressed simply as overwhelming.
“It’s really wonderful, Musa!”
Swordsman Kato, who flew back and stepped back, said in a voice full of admiration.
Because of that, the viewer chat room was once again in turmoil—because those words of the swordsman were the compliments the person who had endured the longest ever heard—but Dohyun didn’t know.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have cared.
Because all his nerves were focused only on swordsman Kato.
“I didn’t know that I would give my best to a samurai whose name is not well known. You can be proud of yourself.”
Having said that, the swordsman Kato drew the sword from his waist with his left hand.
one in the right hand and one in the left hand.
The swordsman, Kato, who swung his two swords like a bald eagle, looked at Dohyun with a wild smile.
“This is Hatsuragi Kato, the successor of the Thousand First Class. Now, I will cut you down with all my heart.”
Self-introduction like a ritual.
There was something too cool to pass up as just data, and something that made people’s hearts hot.
Was that what stimulated Dohyun?
Dohyun, who had been silent until now, narrowed her eyes.
He opened his mouth slowly and only one word came out.
“Don’t kill me.”
There was still unresolved anger in his heart.
Leaving behind the words uttered like a declaration, Dohyun rushed towards the sword castle Kato.
It was a wild and violent movement that was a little different from before.
“Haha, that’s good!”
The fact that he wields two swords is like a disaster for those who are inexperienced in swordsmanship.
If you are not very good at swordsmanship, you will often get twisted and bumped into each other while swinging your sword.
He may even accidentally cut himself off.
However, swordsman Kato was different.
As if it wasn’t for nothing that he got the title of “Star of Swords”, he swung two swords at will, as if it was no joke that he was proud of the two thousand first class.
The trajectories drawn by the two swords perfectly crossed each other and complemented each other.
a continuous chain.
Like a snake drawing infinity, two swords attacked Dohyun one after another.
It was like rainwater in a storm.
It means that it fell like raindrops in a strong wind.
Thing blah blah blah!
Even in the dizzying onslaught of two swords, Do-hyeon did not back down.
He withstood the waves of attack that came one after another with minimal movement.
Holding the sword with both hands, he focused only on deflecting the sword of the swordsman, Kato.
The sparks flew out without even a moment to breathe.
If swordsman Kato was fierce, Dohyun was just perfect.
Dozens of sword strikes went back and forth in an instant, but it never touched Dohyun’s body.
‘Did the swordsman originally use dual swords? I’ve never seen such a video before?’
– I’ve never seen it
-me too
-In terms of the setting, it is correct to use double swords ㅇㅇ No one has seen that.
-Producer’s personal) You can’t see it in a weakened state
– A sword that has not been weakened has only tutorials. how do you catch that
– So, isn’t this the first public release?
‘Oh, is that so? Is this the first release of the first-class mode swordsmanship?’
Yes… Likely… The easier, the better… All ingenious is simple.
