102 – Reunion (2)
-Kaaang!!! Kagagagagang!!!!
Ego Sword, which I have been using for the first time in a long time, moves more familiarly and according to my will than before.
The sword flying in the air, aiming for the upper right corner of the Master, draws a strong, thick line.
Dalhon Muryu Sword (奪魂舞流劍) No. 7 Chosik
Paeryongjincheon (覇龍振天).
The second half of the swordsmanship taught by the teacher is reproduced with the ego sword. How much trouble did you have to consciously use this as an ego sword?
I don’t know why, but the teacher’s skills were not easy to unfold even if they were saved as skills. Aunt Lana’s swordsmanship was saved as a skill and she could easily use it after being aware of it.
As the name suggests, a curved dragon-like thrust roars in the air and runs wild, attacking the Master’s divine form.
-Chaechaechaechaeng!!!
The teacher lightly accepted the sword strike that would have made other people grit their teeth, and then laughed heartily.
“hahahaha!! This is it! This is it! The sword I raised is threatening my life! If this is not happiness, what is it?!!! hahahahaha!!!”
Someone would say that he is crazy, coming from the mouth of this empire’s highly renowned swordsman.
But her sword was by no means light, as I could see from the way my sword swung at her was blocked by her master.
“As expected, Master, you are a monster. “It’s a sword that even struck down a master crafting wielding ogre.”
“Didn’t you realize that you, who did this with the Ego Sword in less than a year, were monsters? It won’t be long before I give up the name of the Sword Saint! After all, I wasn’t wrong! Ha ha ha ha ha!!!”
What is so fun about the teacher? He is smiling brightly while receiving swords that could cut even an ogre with a single blow.
Yes, if you like it, you should make your student smile more.
-Puhuhuh!!
A sound like a bomb exploding came from my mana-enhanced feet, and I went out like a bullet.
Give strength to the sword in your hand and perform the familiar sword techniques one by one towards your teacher.
The sword is imbued with an aura blade, and the energy that threatens to destroy everything around it joins the ego sword with the master.
Dalhonmu Ryugeom (奪魂舞流劍) No. 9 Chosik.
Birth and death.
The line of death that will take the life and bring death to all enemies in front of you.
I don’t know how it happened, but it was a sword strike that even defeated Kate Dowhart, who had probably reached the level of a master in the South.
It unfolded in my hands, where my skills had become more mature.
-Kagaga River!! Kaaa!!! Kwaaa~~~
If I had seen it before, I would have wondered if this was a sound a human could make. A loud noise echoes through the training ground.
But I knew that the sound was not the result I wanted, so I grabbed the sword again.
“Our student, you have grown! Oh, I guarantee it. There would not be five people on the continent who could survive if a sword were pointed at you. Even including me.”
“That means there are still many mountains to overcome.”
“Is that all it is? You will have to get over yourself too. “The moment you overcome yourself, you will also be able to overcome the limitations given to humans!”
The teacher speaks incomprehensibly, but at least I understand what he is saying.
I still have a long way to go, and my enemies are still strong.
So, don’t think that you are strong now, but always try and work hard to surpass yourself.
I guess that’s what you wanted to say.
“Of course, I don’t have anything more to teach you about Talhonmuryuken. “From a technical perspective, that is.”
“I don’t think that’s what the Master would say when he said that there are still many shortcomings.”
“Okay. It’s still not enough. So, let me give you one last lesson for my poor disciple.”
The moment he finished speaking, Master’s mood clearly changed.
Until before, the momentum was clearly at a level where other knights would not have been able to move properly under the pressure, but the momentum now is something different.
“I am Maria Brunhild… No, Dokgo Mara (獨孤 磨 羅) passes down the final cut of the Talhon Muryu Sword to his disciple John Ayboris. According to the tradition of the sect, it will be presented only once, so you must receive it yourself and realize it yourself.”
One day, when I learned a skill, the name that the teacher had never directly taught me was revealed.
– Talhonmuryugeom is a swordsmanship that consists of three seconds each in the first half, middle, and second half. And there is the final Five Righteousness. Someday, when you reach a level that I approve of, I will personally teach you.
A skill called Five Wills that you once mentioned.
I thought that both swordsmanship and martial arts had different applications depending on the situation, so I thought special moves were not really necessary, but I couldn’t help but be curious.
That’s a special move. This is the kind of thing that men who watched robot animations when they were young can never tolerate. Interest itself is bound to arise.
“The 10th Chosik of Talhonmu Ryu Sword (奪魂舞流劍).”
And now, I was able to get a glimpse of a piece of technology that I had been curious about.
But my meeting with Oui was of a different kind than I expected.
Master’s sword, which had a completely different weight than before, was raised high in the sky,
“Ignorance.”
-Kuuung—!!!
With her mumbling words, the light of the sword being struck pours down.
I didn’t really feel any other huge flow of mana.
But all I could do was raise my arms.
While I was not even aware of it, the brilliant heat that suddenly covered the sky was falling towards me like rain.
That was my last memory of sparring with Master.

“hahahaha!! There’s still a long way to go! No matter how much my student is a match made in heaven, it takes at least 100% for you to defeat me. Not years, but months… Well, a little more work would be enough! Holy sh*t! What kind of ridiculous articles are there? For a late boy to enter martial arts and to reach the pinnacle within half a year of teaching is something that will leave a long mark on the martial arts knights, and it makes you think that in about 100 days, you might be able to surpass this master who is at the level of martial arts! Let alone the desire to win, I’m so jealous that I can’t stand it! aaah!!!”
After receiving Master’s last blow and losing consciousness, while massaging his stiff body, Master was happy alone and then suddenly became angry. What is it, is it something like bipolar disorder? I think it was said that emotional ups and downs get worse as you get older… I have to be careful too.
Anyway, weren’t there just a bunch of words that could have appeared in a martial arts novel? Is it a transcendental peak or a beautiful scenery… I think I’ve heard this before somewhere.
“Well, that’s it. It is the teacher’s happiness that the disciple surpasses himself. “The growth rate was a bit outside the standard, but that wasn’t what was important right now.”
Even though he was talking about something important, I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw the teacher just wave his hand and move on to another story.
But as always, one of the Master’s strengths is to say what he has to say as if nothing happened. It’s efficient. No need to think about other useless thoughts.
“Okay, how was it? “The last sword you saw.”
“It was amazing. So much so that I can’t forget it.”
“Would it be okay if I didn’t open it again?”
“Yes. No, I’m actually afraid that if I open it again, I won’t be able to see it properly and I’ll find something strange about it.”
At the end, the sword that Master showed me was full of light pouring toward me.
For me at that moment, the light of that sword was stronger than the sun, and it carved an indelible scene into my soul.
Because I saw something like that, I knew something.
That sword is not something you can learn just by seeing it again. No, if I were to see it again, I would probably interpret it in my own way and make its meaning fade.
“Okay. You saw it right. The end of getting rid of honmuryugeom is the completion of oneself. Therefore, even though the form of equations 1 to 9 is determined, the final 10 equations are completed by oneself. That’s how you create your own infallibility.”
I understood it after listening to the teacher.
I will never be able to embody the swordsmanship shown by my teacher. You can make something similar, but you will never be able to make the same thing.
Instead, something more can be created. I had that intuition.
“I always think about it, but my student thinks differently from other knights. Normally, the knights and swordsmen of this empire, or even the continent, cannot properly understand the methods of swordsmanship. I don’t think it’s a talent… Does it feel like you’ve lived in another world? “That’s how it feels.”
I am instantly moved by the teacher’s keen insight.
The secret I have been hiding until now. And the way I treated my teacher while hiding this. And even though he secretly knew her secret, he pretended not to know.
Without realizing it, I wanted to talk about what had happened so far, so I opened my mouth.
But,
“Master, actually I… “
“It’s okay. No need to say that. “I also have a lot of things I’ve hidden from you.”
The teacher said he was annoying and waved his hand away.
“I know very well that you are a cautious child. But I also want to let you know that being too cautious is bound to attract someone’s attention. That’s all I want to say. It’s okay if you don’t have to tell me. “The relationship between you and me is not the kind that can be severed just because of that.”
“……”
A bored expression and speech that seems as if he is indifferent to his student. But I know it’s her consideration.
When Master accepted me in the past, he told me that his past relationships could influence me.
Perhaps it has something to do with her traveling to another continent and living her knightly life.
And he said that at the time, but now it seems like he doesn’t want me to be influenced by that past relationship.
The appearance of keeping a distance may be for this purpose.
“You live your life. Although I said it out of anger, there is no one on this continent who can appreciate your swordsmanship. “That’s all a bad teacher can leave behind.”
At first, her and I had a contractual relationship rather than a priestly relationship. I thought of her as a bridge, an elixir, and an unexpected variable for my growth.
It was the result of fear of death and fear of an unfamiliar world dominating my mind. I didn’t show it, but back then, I was a very timid hedgehog.
But even though not a long time has passed, my relationship with her has changed a lot now.
Wouldn’t it be a relationship where you at least think about and worry about the other person’s future?
“If you leave, I will also leave this continent. I have some things to organize before then, so I’ll be away from the academy for a while. I’ve already talked to the other professors, so I’ll come back before you leave this academy. Please take care of the rest, disciple. Ha ha ha!!”
The teacher looked like a superior who was about to hand over work and go on a long vacation.
Have you ever said that it is a class for the elders to organize the consonants?
She left her place, and I quietly bowed to her in the direction where she was.
I bid you farewell in advance, with hopes for the day when we will meet again without any burden.
