Chapter 38
The new year has dawned.
The life of Raon, who turned 14, can be summed up in one word. training. The first to arrive at the gymnasium and the last to return, he continued the life of a training ghost.
Runan’s eyes were still blind, but the sharpness of the sword and the coolness of the water element Aura deepened incomparably.
Beren, who has grown mentally, has surely won the hearts of many trainees, and swung his incisive sword day and night to regain his position as the chief.
Marta refused to even take a break to humiliate her first defeat, swinging her sword, and practicing Auror.
However, her already dirty personality has become more violent and no one wants to come close to her anymore.
But only one. It was different in front of Raon.
Marta, who couldn’t listen to the instructor’s words, kept her mouth shut and followed Raon’s words. From the side, it looks like a faithful servant.
The trainees knew that attitude was a promise of a bet, so they thought it would be a few days away, but it wasn’t.
Marta faithfully followed Raon’s words even when the new year dawned.
Everyone was bewildered.
Because she didn’t know that Marta, who had a dirty mouth and a dirty personality, would keep her promise to Raon.
In this way, Raon subdued even the last saboteur and received the recognition of all the trainees at the 5th Dance Hall.

“set.”
At Raon’s call, the trainees who were warming up in various places in the gym saw him at the same time.
“It’s okay.”
“yes.”
Beren bit his tongue slightly and stood in front of Raon, and Runan ran to him like a dog that saw its owner.
“… … .”
Marta’s bloody eyes flashed, but she stood next to the two without saying a word.
Runan, Beren, and Marta, the most influential in the gymnasium, moved according to Raon’s instructions, and the other trainees had no choice but to follow.
“Why did you tell me to gather?”
Burren turned to look at the empty podium.
“This morning is an individual training session.”
“no. Today is regular training.”
“I have never heard of such a story.”
“The head instructor said he forgot to tell.”
Leon sighed. Rimer suddenly came yesterday evening and instructed the trainees to collect them so that they would not be scattered in the morning.
“Anyway, the man… .”
Burren grinded his teeth. He still didn’t seem to like Limer.
“Anyway. Today is a regular training session, so please wait here. Just relax your body.”
“a.”
“Have you eaten boiled crow meat? What do you forget every day?”
“I must have been drinking and playing. I heard you were at the bar yesterday.”
“Is it a day or two? Let’s just get ready.”
The trainees grunted a little, but followed Raon’s instructions and relaxed in the center of the gymnasium.
After a while, after about 5 minutes of training, the doors of the gymnasium opened and the instructors entered.
“Ha-am.”
Rimer, who was at the back, yawned so loud that he couldn’t cover it all with his hands, and climbed up onto the platform.
“It’s tardiness. Instructor”
Burren raised his hand and shouted.
“Eh, today is originally a self-study, but our instructor was preparing for you and it was late, so it’s not really late.”
“It has nothing to do with that… .”
“Come on, let’s start practicing right away as it’s late!”
Limer ignored Burren’s words and waved her hand.
Behind him, the sound of Beren grinding his teeth was heard. As time passed, their relationship did not change.
“The reason I took your personal training time today is nothing but to pass on the most important things to the swordsman.”
“Well, what is the most important thing for a prosecutor?”
“What is it?”
“New swordsmanship?”
“Swordsmanship Biggie?”
“Practice?”
The eyes of the trainees with young expectations shone like starlight.
“Hmm!”
Rimer enjoyed those eyes for a long time, then slowly opened his mouth when the children’s voices subsided.
“It’s the right way.”
“Eh?”
“What is the footwork?”
“Why is that the most important thing for a prosecutor… .”
“Ugh, I knew this.”
At the sound of footwork, the trainees rolled their feet with disappointment.
‘It was also a footwork.’
However, Raon nodded his head timidly.
Footwork is how to walk.
It is a systematic step made to move more aggressively, more defensively, or faster when practicing swordsmanship or kwonbeop.
‘I thought the time was right.’

Now that he has become accustomed to Kwonbeop and Swordsmanship, and has made an appropriate Auror, he thought that it was time to learn the foot technique.
“There are quite a few guys who have mastered intermediate-level swordsmanship before coming here, but rarely have they mastered footwork properly.”
“Well… .”
“It is.”
The trainees did not respond and nodded slowly. Burren, Runan, and Marta also shut their mouths.
“Your goal is a swordsman, so it’s true that swordsmanship is important. However!”
Limer smiled and jumped off the podium. His body vanished as if extinguishing a candle.
“The trick is to make the sword sharper and faster, and save lives in the future. That is, footwork.”
His voice came from behind his back. When he turned his head, Limer, who had disappeared in front of him, was standing behind him with his back.
“Ugh!”
“Uh, when… .”
“what?”
The trainees opened their mouths. When Limer appeared from behind without a single sound of the wind, his tongue popped out.
“You must have realized that the situation is different when you practice alone and when you wield a sword at an opponent.”
“that… .”
“right. My body was not moving properly.”
“The sword didn’t go along the track.”
The trainees nodded their heads. All of them went through the struggle and realized that practice and training are different.
“In order to show off my skills in the real world, I need to train my footwork beyond swordsmanship. I think the most important martial arts in one-on-one fighting is footwork, not swordsmanship or aura. The headmaster also agreed with that opinion.”
“Go, Lord?”
“Ugh!”
“If he were… .”
The trainees opened their mouths. Glenn, whom I respect the most, said that footwork was important, so the weight was different from when Limer spoke.
“The law… .”
Burren straightened her spine.
‘okay. If there was a footwork back then… .’
His strengths are sharpness, precision, and speed. Even when fighting Raon, if he had used proper footwork instead of basic footwork, he wouldn’t have been defeated so mercilessly.
“indeed… .”
Burren turned his head to the side at the growl-like voice.
Martha clenched her fists and her eyes were shining. She seemed to be thinking the same thing.
‘It’s the same.’
I thought it was quiet, but it wasn’t. Marta was burning with a burning desire to defeat Raon in her heart, not the outside.
“The foot method starts with the garambo method that contains the flow of the river.”
As Limer bounced his legs lightly as if he was walking on a gravel field by the river, his body jumped up onto the podium.
“Well… .”
He took a pose as if he was demonstrating a foot technique, and then lay down, muttering that it was bothersome.
“Toward a skilled assistant.”
As Limer hit the wall, the instructor behind him came forward and began to show the posture of the karambo method.
thump.
Burren clenched his fists. I definitely learned the footwork technique, vowing that someday I would crush that lazy instructor’s nose bridge, and I learned the posture of the garambo method clearly.
* * *
There were only 12 brothers in the Garambo method, and the posture was also simple, so it did not take long to demonstrate.
‘It’s really basic.’
Because Raon was rotating the ring of fire, he could grasp the form, posture, and flow of the Garambo method at a glance.
Although it was the first step, it was faithful to the basic posture, and the flow was soft, so it was a foot method that could be inserted anywhere.
“The instructors will walk around and give you positions, so try your footsteps as you see and feel.”
“Yes!”
The trainees spread out in the dance hall and began to perform the karambo method.
However, Raon did not move.
With his eyes closed, he swung the ring of fire and replayed the karambo method the instructor had shown him in his head.
‘Defense 6 to attack 4.’
As with the basic step method, the Garambo method had a similar ratio of attack and defense. The defense was a little higher, but it didn’t make much of a difference.
‘It’s a foot technique that has an advantage.’
The characteristic of garambo method is that it flows smoothly like a river. It is more important to have a continuous flow, even if it is a little messy, rather than the rigidity of being woven together.
“after… .”
Raon exhaled excitedly and opened his eyes. Through the open field of vision, everything of the Garambo method was visible.
chin.
First, stretch out your right foot.
Enjoying the sensation of pressing down on the well-trodden floor of the gymnasium, he followed his left foot.
The first type oil painting of the Garambo method unfolded with both feet gently crossing.
Tuoung!
He lightly rubbed the floor and turned his body to the right. Dodging the enemy’s attack, the second type, Gaeryu, who wielded a sword, rang the sand in the gymnasium.
It was closer to perfection than the attitude the instructor showed.
Chiing!
Raon smiled while enjoying the pleasure flowing over her shoulder. His feet reproduced the flexible flow as if he had known the karambo method since he was born.
* * *
“Ahhh!”
Rimer opened his mouth, yawned and rolled his eyes.
“I’m sleepy.”
For several days, I couldn’t sleep while searching for and supplementing the proper footwork for the trainees, and my whole body felt drowsy.
‘I guess I’m old too.’
I smiled and looked down the podium.
Raon, standing in the middle, stood still with her eyes closed. It was as if he was drawing the instructor’s footwork in his head.
‘It’s not a good way… .’
Drawing martial arts in the image is definitely a good practice. However, it should be after the skill has matured to a certain extent.
Since I just learned the foot technique, now is the time to move the body rather than drawing it on the head.
‘I’ll have to tell him not to catch shit later.’
Limer murmured that he had something to make fun of and looked to Burren.
‘You’re pretty good.’
Burren closely followed the form of the garambo method, whether he had previously learned the foot technique. There is no real meaning, but the posture seems to be completed soon.
‘It’s the same over there.’
Marta also stretched out her feet and rotated her body as if she had learned the foot technique for a long time. It was a better posture than Burren.
“under.”
Limer shed a smile when she saw Burren and Marta’s footwork.
‘I’m thinking of Raon.’
The two were thinking about when they fought Raon while they were learning the foot technique.
What I said earlier that footwork is the most important thing in a one-on-one fight seems to have worked.
‘and… .’
On the right, I saw Runan practicing the Garambo method. Her movements were different from the previous two.
A movement that seems to support the opponent rather than put it on. It was obvious who Runan wanted to help.
After that, Rimer looked at all the trainees and remembered the strengths and weaknesses that had to be told.
‘Because it’s fun.’
Is it because he is still young and innocent? Just by watching the trainees train, I could tell what each of them was thinking.
“Ugh.”
Limer stood up with long stretches like a bear waking up from a hibernation.
flash.
Raon, who was standing like a stone statue, opened his eyes and stepped back when he was about to give the points he had remembered to the trainees.
‘ah… .’
The vivid red eyes and the feet that stretched out like cranes swelled with chills.
Raon’s feet advance slowly. The first oil painting of the Garambo method flowed on the floor of the dance hall with the flow of the river.
Whoops!
He takes the second pose. As he spread his body forward like flames, a blue blade seemed to be reflected.
“her!”
Limer smirked.
‘That guy… .’
Raon’s oil painting was closer to completion than the instructor who taught him the foot technique himself.
After that, Raon unfolded the twelve forms of garam footwork like flowing water. It was a posture that was close to perfection, without any mistakes or lack.
“uh… .”
“What, what?”
Even the trainees and the instructor stopped and stared blankly at Raon’s footwork.
“You said you learned footwork through imagery?”
Limer’s eyes trembled. A creepy goose swelled up all over his body.
‘Where is the end of that monster… .’
