Episode 25. three verses (4)
When Ralph saw his grandson, he gave a slightly surprised expression.
‘Muchi, that guy… … .’
From the time he was a newborn blood clot, the time he spent with Muchi was longer than that of his parents.
However, this was the first time I had seen those kind of moody eyes.
Despite being far away, the resentment was clearly conveyed.
‘That child… Could I have made a face like that?’
He was an innocent child who did as he was told, never complained, never complained.
Instead, I never showed a strong will to anything.
Learning chess was also something I wanted to do reluctantly at first, but later I felt relieved because it seemed like I added fun.
However, caring too much about others bothered me.
Still, I thought it was enough to not say that I didn’t want to learn horse chess.
I thought so… … .
“Was it a bad idea… … .”
Seeing Ralph’s dazed face, John gasped inwardly.
‘It seems that you, who used to be condescending, couldn’t help it in front of bloodline.’
Ralph’s son was born with a weak body like his mother.
Because of this, Ralph has a disciple to prevent his vision from being killed.
However, no matter how much he regards his pupil as a child, he is not a true child.
In the meantime, a lineage that would completely carry on his vision appeared, so Ralph must have cherished it.
‘Excessive affection rather became poison.’

Master Ralph couldn’t fail to realize what his grandson’s temper was like.
However, excessive overprotection must have covered his discernment.
‘Yuri, who has an objective perspective as a stranger, was the first to notice. Muchi’s true temper.’
Originally, he’s a quick-witted guy, but since he’s been hanging out with Muchi for the past few months, there’s no way he didn’t know if he didn’t know.
‘Anyway, a guy like a serpent.’
He suddenly said that he was going to fight with a real sword, so I wondered what kind of plan he was planning this time… … .
‘This is what I was aiming for.’
Convinced of Yuri’s intention, John stuck out his tongue.
‘Even if it’s the same sparring, there’s a big difference between a wooden sword and a real sword.’
Whether or not it has lethal power and the incidents/accidents that can occur at any time due to it.
In a situation of urgent crisis, the constant pressure and tension must have brought out the truth from the inner side of Muchi.
Yohan clicked his tongue inwardly as he looked at the laughing Yuri.
However, he did not show this on the outside and was consistent in his ignorance.
he said to Ralph.
“Your grandson seems to be very motivated. Like Yuri said, you can start right away.”
“her… … .”
“Go, because we have to come up with a last-minute winning strategy by ourselves.”
John patted Ralph on the waist and pushed him.
Ralph took a step as if he couldn’t win.
Ralph stood in front of Muchi like that.
“grandfather… … .”
The moment he saw his grandson calling him, Ralph burst out laughing.
“Phut!”

Moochi’s voice subsided.
The boy’s eyes were slightly watery from resentment.
Even though it was the first time he had seen his grandson, Ralph thought it was better to see him now.
Should I say that I am a little like a child now?
Ralph asked with a smile.
“Are you angry about losing?”
“… … .”
From nob le mt l dot com
Muchi didn’t answer.
But a whimpering snort replaced the answer.
Ralph’s smile deepened.
“Muchi.”
“yes… … .”
“Machete is not a bad thing. Whether it is worth hurting someone or saving someone, it is the person who determines the value of horsemanship.”
“… … .”
“Does it seem to you that this old lady and Yuri are just using machete to harm people?”
From nob le mt l dot com
Mitch shook his head resolutely.
“no.”
“Yes, it is up to you to decide how to use the horsemanship you have learned. However, if you just wield it without a clear purpose, your wrestling skills have no value.”
“… … .”
“What value do you want to place on your chess art?”
At Grandpa’s question, he remembered what Yuri had said.
[Because the goal has been set.]
[I want to become stronger. I don’t want to lose because I’m stronger than anyone else. That’s why I do it.]
[I train because I want to become stronger, what kind of thoughts do you need? I just do it every day.]
[It’s boring. still… I am not tired.]
[The thing you said you didn’t know… I’ll let you know today. Why did I learn martial arts, and why did I wield a sword like I was about to die!]
It was then that Muchi seemed to know a little bit.
The desire to become stronger and the will not to lose are the values that Yuri has adopted.
That he wielded his sword so fiercely for that purpose.
Words and actions that I did not understand at first, now I understand little by little.
From nob le mt l dot com
Muchi replied, staring at Ralph with straight eyes.
“I don’t know yet what value I will place on my chess skills. I’ll think about it slowly. but… … .”
“… … .”
“I don’t want to lose now. As of right now… I want to make that a value.”
Ralph smiled at Muchi’s answer.
“Yeah, that’s enough.”
He put his hand on his grandson’s shoulder and said in a low voice.
“Then, I’ll tell you this old lady’s winning strategy.”
“really?”
Ralph’s eyes shone darkly at his grandson’s expectant gaze.
* * *
In case John hears, Ralph whispers to his grandson by building a sound barrier with mana.
Seeing that, John muttered as if he was dumbfounded.
“Tsk, do you think I won’t hear you?”
If you want to break through that much mana sound barrier, you should be able to break through.
But I didn’t have to.
Yohan moved his gaze to Yuri.
“Look at it, the brain is ripe for the future… Do you think once is the limit? Are your limbs trembling just now?”
Yuri’s eyes widened at Yohan’s point.
“It’s a ghost, how did you know that?”
“I was the one who taught you brain wings, you bastard bastard!”
In the first place, unlike Unbo, it was not a season to overdo it.
A skill that must gradually increase its limits.
At the current level of Yuri, at most 2-3 times was the limit.
“Yes, yes, you will. Well, I wonder what will happen to the third time if I overdo it… … .”
“Don’t overuse your brain wings beyond the limit at any given time. If you don’t want to lie down and grumble for a week as a recoil.”
“Does that hurt a lot?”
“Why do you think I am constipated?”
“… … ?”
“I was so sick I couldn’t even poop. When I was young, I used to overdo it, and chronic constipation came.”
“… I’ll finish it in two rounds, no matter what.”
Yuri answered with a determined face that he would never become like the old man.
Then he shrugged.
“Well, it will be over in two anyways.”
“Yes, it will be over in two anyways.”
Why John doesn’t have to overhear Ralph’s plan.
It was that no matter how great a strategy, it was impossible to stop Yuri’s thundercloud at the current level of ignorance.
That’s why Ralph’s horsemanship and Redner’s thundercloud had the worst compatibility.
Yohan and Yuri’s faces were full of confidence.
5 minutes after that.
Yohan and Ralph exchanged conversations while staring at Yuri and Muchi facing each other for the match.
“Did you finish the plan?”
“Of course.”
“If you’re going to lose anyway, you’re going to lose quickly, what are you wasting your time on?”
Ralph knew very well that this sparring would be unfavorable for Muchi, unless he knew that Yuri could even use his thunder wings.
But even so, he was strangely confident.
“Wouldn’t it be better to look at long and short ones?”
“Aren’t you ashamed of losing?”
“joy!”
Ralph and John stared at the arena with a strange war of nerves.
Yuri’s eyes flashed as she saw Muchi in it.
‘Ohh? Look at this?’
Something had changed in the guy’s mood.
Yuri smiled and said.
“Is this older brother’s sister really sick? Are you awake?”
“Yuri hyung… … .”
“why.”
“I will win this time.”
“Yeah, that’s just your wishes. Hey, and I told you to call me big brother, right?”
From nob le mt l dot com
Muchi did not respond to Yuri’s bruise.
Instead, I just grabbed the edge of the spear and held it high.
That’s how the final round of 2 out of 3 wins began.
This time, Yuri didn’t run straight ahead and looked at the opponent.
“It’s too big to come.”
Since Muchi, who was nearly 2m tall, was holding a 4m spear, it gave off a sense of intimidation as if a small tower was standing tall.
However, what was more terrifying than that was the intense energy riding on Muchi’s body.
Toduk- Toduk-.
It started to rain a little while ago, and now it’s getting quite thick.
However, the raindrops were only bounced off by the rough waves of mana.
That’s how Muchi could tell how much mana he was pouring into this blow.
Yuri looked straight ahead with a slightly surprised face.
‘It’s creepy!’
The mana and life that flowed through the ax spear made her skin sting.
If you get hit by that, it won’t just end with a broken bone.
‘Or at least split in half and die.’
Or, if you get hit, you’ll become a clot of blood.
It was such a terrifying attack, but the strategy was so simple.
‘The preparation time is too long.’
An invincible attack that takes a lot of time to increase destructive power.
If it was an attack that took such a long time to prepare, it would have been enough to just get out of the attack range.
Or run right now and hit it.
‘There’s no need to use brain wings.’
There was no need to wait for an attack, so Yuri tried to run straight toward Moo-chi.
If it hadn’t been for the loud cry of Muchi.
“Yuri hyung! If you get this, your grandfather will make a knife out of white steel!”
Kik-.
Yuri’s leg, which was about to run, suddenly braked and stopped.
“… what?”
“Eh?!”
Surprised Yuri and even more surprised John.
There is silence for a moment in the clearing.
Realizing what he had just heard, Johan grabbed Ralph by the collar.
“Hey, Torai Baby! You use such a mean trick in sparring with the kids?! Do you want to win that far!”
“Heh heh, was it the senior who taught me that a loser can’t fall asleep, but a winner laughs and sleeps? What about my winning strategy?”
“This, this child… cowardly… … .”
It was a bold statement, but it was all true, so John couldn’t even reply.
Because that was what he said while giggling in Ralph’s face when he was in his cradle.
‘Gee, when do you get stuck on the enemy… Anyway, this guy… When did you figure out the disposition of Yuri’s son to this extent?’
The time spent face-to-face for the past half year must not have been in vain.
It was cheesy and dirty, and I didn’t like it, but it couldn’t be a perfect strategy that aimed at Yuri’s tendency and weakness.
It was so perfect that the effect didn’t appear right away.
‘Look at me, me!’
DeLuk DeLuk-.
The sound of the money-crazy guy’s eyes rolling was coming all the way from here.
In fact, Yuri was very, very seriously thinking about it.
“… steel white? really?”
When wandering the continent, there was a mercenary who boasted of a sword made by mixing steel with white steel the size of rats.
Perhaps because he boasted so much, I couldn’t forget Baek Gang-cheol.
‘That white steel whose strength and elasticity are five times greater than that of ordinary steel? That white steel that is said to be three times more expensive than gold of the same weight?!’
You make a sword out of it?
What if I just take that attack?
‘really? Really ooh?’
When Yuri’s golden eyes shook like an earthquake.
He heard Ralph’s voice driving a wedge into his troubles.
“I’ll make you a whole white steel sword! No other miscellaneous iron is mixed!”
With that, Yuri’s troubles were over.
He corrected his posture as he was about to run.
Shuk-Turbu-.
His right leg, which he had pushed out to move forward, came back, and his legs planted firmly on the ground so that even if someone pushed his back, he would not be pushed.
Yuri thumped my sturdy thighs and shouted loudly.
“Ugh! Moochi, you guy! You still haven’t come in, what are you doing! That attack, this hyung-ah will accept it as much as you like, so come in! Fak Fak!”
It’s not like mixing steel with white steel, it’s just a white steel sword?!
How can you put up with this?
Looking at the smirking glass, John’s face flushed red.
“Me, me, that madman!”
It was a situation where all I had to do was rush in and put a punch in the pit of my stomach!
cried John.
“Hey, son of a b*tch, just lose! Hang it upside down and throw it down a cliff!”
As if he had waited for John’s cry, the entire window of Muchi turned red.
A halberd filled with enormous mana that would explode at any moment.
“aaa!”
From nob le mt l dot com
Muchi, with a fierce spirit, swung the spear.
It was a very simple vertical cutting action.
But the problem was Muchi’s strength.
Gijik- That giggiggig-.
The head of the halberd could not keep up with Muchi’s tremendous power, and the spearhead bent backwards as if it would break.
And right at that moment.
bang!
An explosion that exploded from the tip of Muchi’s spear.
The ax blade produced a mana explosion and gained powerful momentum.
Shuquagagaga-.
It fell at breakneck speed.
Schnell Ax Spear – Cold Wall Split
In the past, Ralph Schnell’s extreme spearmanship, which is said to have split a part of the Cold Wall Mountains, materialized in front of Yuri.
Faced with this, Yuri felt as if death was approaching.
Now, the surrounding scenery has slowed down enough to clearly see the fairly thick rain.
The red trajectory of the halberd pushed forward at terrifying speed.
Despite the inevitable crisis, Yuri smiled.
‘Youngsong, who says that the loser loses?’
Although he fell for the allure of the white steel sword, Yuri had no intention of losing.
‘Wouldn’t it be fine if I took that and won?’
What’s difficult about that?
The moment Yuri’s smile deepened, his sword moved.
Sarrr-.
The silver trail began to beautifully connect along the grain of the pouring rain.
Like that day… … .
Shaaa-.
Like the ‘vision’ John showed in the rain.
