47. Gift scattering (2)
Baek Hwa-yeon entered the dormitory and buried her face in the pillow. Baek Hwa-yeon, who rubbed a pillow on her face for a moment, turned and looked at the ceiling.
She then lifted her necklace which she received from Dojin Lee.
‘No matter how crazy Do-jin is with swords, will anyone give him all of these things?’
She didn’t think it was love.
Because Lee Do-jin didn’t seem to be in a state to have her love feelings yet.
A clear sign of liking.
Baek Hwa-yeon thought so. It was also a situation where she couldn’t help but think that way.
-It’s a gift. Not an artifact. It’s just a necklace….
But Lee Do-jin has already revealed with her own mouth that she is a more crazy person than she imagined.
-I want to give this to the people I am grateful for.
Baek Hwa-yeon, who saw her necklace, was so nervous that she couldn’t hear what was said behind her.
Baek Hwa-yeon, weighed down by her own delusion, barely managed to sleep while she was alone.
***
It’s 6:40 in the morning.
As always, Dojin Lee woke up early.
Then, she headed to the gymnasium dedicated to first-year combat students.
Blind inspection.
Jiah Liu was swinging her wooden sword as usual.
Jia Ryu drew a faint smile at her familiar presence.
“I haven’t seen you in two days. It seems like I haven’t seen you in quite a while.”
Lee Do-jin agreed with that statement.
“Sure.”
It really felt like a long time ago.
Lee Do-jin stood next to Liu Jia and brandished her wooden sword.
The trajectory of the two wooden swords fell evenly from top to bottom.
Same footing.
And with a sword of the same speed.
They stood side by side like that for about 10 minutes and swung her sword.
Jia Ryu’s wooden sword stood still.
Lee Do-jin thought there must be some reason and stopped his wooden sword due to the difference in his feet.
“Should we do sparring after a long time?”
Jiah Ryu looked at Dojin Lee with her eyes closed.
“Good.”
“This time, a little bit of variation. Just like a real fight. With a sword sword. I use a real sword. Do-jin…But will you use a wooden sword?”
“Yes, I’m most comfortable with a wooden sword. But will that be okay?”
“I think sometimes you need a variation like this.”
Lee Do-jin did not find Ryu Ji-ah’s small change in attitude strange.
Anyway, a swordsman was an existence that had to constantly change.
And because the sword of Jia Liu that I have seen so far is not as strong as a person who is stuck in her frame.
I concluded that that was also only one side of Jia Ryu.
“The training ground is a bit dangerous. Let’s go to the back mountain.”
A vacant lot on the back mountain.
It was also one of the large areas of Iroas Academy.
The two wore combat suits for sparring.
Sword spirit rose from each other’s swords.
Jia Ryu saw the approaching light.
A very clear light.
‘Something crossed the line again.’
I felt that the aura from Lee Do-jin’s body became more intense.
Raise the senses of her whole body to the maximum.
I can see the floor. The shape of the land is embodied through the gigam.
The light walking on the floor.
And a flash of light emanating from his hand.
Liu Jia stepped out and moved his hand.
Quang!
The swords collided with each other.
And dozens of workshops continued. Knew each other
With a sword like this, the opponent will fight back.
There was only moderate sword strikes.
“I know.”
Jiah Liu, who had stopped, suddenly opened her mouth.
“Do-jin is far above me. That’s why I can show my best.”
Lee Do-jin also stretched out her sword and caught her breath for a moment.
“Wouldn’t it be a long way up?”
Jia Ryu laughed at Dojin Lee’s thoughtful words.
“It has a cute corner.”
As she held her sword again, Jia Liu’s bluish sword spirit became clearer than mine.
“A little more. I’ll be serious.”
Quick sword.
The basis of Jiah Ryu’s swordsmanship lies in her quick sword.
And I could vaguely guess why.
Blind.
Sense and hearing. Her sense of space is superior to others, but she can’t keep it up.
Congenital inequality that inevitably becomes an overwhelming disadvantage when time is prolonged or variables such as dealing with a large number of people occur.
And in order to offset that shortcoming, I had no choice but to literally kill the enemy quickly.
So Jia Liu’s sword was far from mercy.
On the contrary, it must be a killing sword worthy of being counted among the three swordsmen of the combat class 1.
Wedge love liquid!
The two blue blades rushed towards Lee Do-jin’s neck and heart.
Swift stabs in a row disturbed the opponent’s eyes.
However, Lee Do-jin was not at all taken aback by the series.
Because it was enough to just cut it off.
Lee Do-jin pushed his foot out.
A colorless flat blade engulfed the front. The blue beam of light was crushed by the slash and disintegrated in the air.
Jia Ryu’s movements were not delayed at all. Because he knew he would be destroyed in the first place.
Liu Jia suddenly flew his body backwards, kicked his ground and spun his body.
Sleek somersault.
And a single slash was fired from her arms.
‘Amyeong Island Stream.’
Lee Do-jin remembered the name of her swordsmanship that Ryu Ji-ah had told her about.
I was convinced that the herbivores that I am currently practicing are the herbivorous foods of that sword method.
Lee Do-jin raised her wooden sword and slashed the blue slash at an angle.
Jia Ryu’s model fell down again in the air.
Her feet didn’t touch the ground and rushed straight to Lee Do-jin.
Jia Ryu’s body rotated. Her body itself becomes a blade. The trail of her sword spiraled forward, drawing an afterimage.
Kagaga River!
Lee Do-jin collided with all the sword attacks that were constantly splitting up.
She had sparks flying around.
Lee Do-jin admired.
More than Baek Hwa-yeon, a disciple of Swordsman.
More than Chan-hyung Kang, the disciple of King Kwon.
I felt that the world as an unmanned person was more fully formed.
She thought that it might be because it is a martial art composed of her own insights from reading martial arts books, not the teachings of some teacher.
The end of the sharp sword dance─
A more awl-like sword rose.
It was a deviant targeting the loophole of the unwary opponent.
The space chewed up by the blue trail was cut.
Lee Do-jin leaned back and raised her wooden sword.
A colorless sword drew a semicircle of her.
A blue straight line was cut with a single knife.
A cool breeze blew between the two.
Lee Do-jin felt that it was time for him to put an end to it. It’s very subtle, but Ryujia’s movements were gradually slowing down.
Jia Ryu thought as they pointed their swords at each other.
‘A friendly person.’
She had the ability to put a wooden sword in front of her own throat with her single knife, but she didn’t.
Compared to that, he didn’t lose his strength even with a single sword.
But the best was clogged up inside and out.
Zeuong!
The sword that was swung wide jumped into the air by Lee Do-jin’s wooden sword.
The sword fell terribly and stuck into the ground.
It is a sparring between prosecutors. If you miss the sword, it was right to stop and accept defeat.
But.
‘Only once.’
I wanted to see you panic at least once.
Embarrassment caused by your own hands.
Maximize the five senses.
I put all my attention on Lee Do-jin’s movements. He predicted the moment when Lee Do-jin put his right foot on the ground.
The moment Lee Do-jin’s right foot fell, he stepped on it.
Kwaaak!
Lee Do-jin’s body stood still. Ryu Ji-ah’s fist reached toward Lee Do-jin’s abdomen.
“The fist is clumsy.”
I heard Dojin Lee’s voice in my ears.
It wasn’t a panicked voice, but a voice that said he would die of joy.
He twisted his foot just a little bit.
I learned how to avoid an attack at a very close distance by being hit countless times by Hwangbo Seryeong.
Dodging Ryujia’s fist like water flowing. With his left hand, he lightly snatched Ryujia’s right arm.
Then he pulled the hook.
Liu Jia’s body snapped into her arms.
“Huh!”
Jia Ryu, who suddenly fell into Lee Do-jin’s arms, made a strange noise without realizing it.
Sweat was beading on Jiah Ryu’s forehead.
And his long hair was wet with sweat, too.
“I won’t give up until the end.”
Lee Do-jin laughed.
Because I really liked Jia Ryu’s tenacity.
I didn’t expect to step on his toe at that moment. I was a bit perplexed.
If she hadn’t let go of her sword just before, she would have been a truly chilling blow then.
“…Please leave.”
“Yes.”
Even her deadly moves were completely blocked.
Jiah Ryu, who escaped from Dojin Lee’s arms, chewed her lips once. To dwell on this sense of defeat.
“I was surprised.”
“Do-jin was surprised and embarrassed, and even allowed one light blow. Because that was my drawing.”
And the picture was finished after only sketching.
“Let’s do it next time.”
“Good.”
The two sat on the dirt floor and felt the wind in the shade of a tree.
“…I’m hungry. Especially today.”
“Because I moved exceptionally a lot.”
The world has only just begun. It felt like I had poured all my knives for the day.
From noble mtl dot com
“Do you want to go to breakfast?”
“Would you like to have a hearty meal of soup?”
Lee Do-jin felt that she spit out the soup too quickly without going through the thoughts in her head.
‘… I was brainwashed too much by senior poetry.’
We went to the school cafeteria together too often, so our appetite followed.
Occasionally, even if I had to eat alone, I would go to the same place as Yeonsimun.
Jia Ryu smiled.
“It’s funny how first-year college students look for soup in the morning.”
“Oh, I think it’s funny too.”
“Good. All right, right?”
“Oh, Jia, you know that too.”
“In two and a half months, you’ll know the best restaurants on campus.”
The two went to the Restaurant to soothe their hunger.
Both of them emptied their soup without leaving a single drop of soup.
Lee Do-jin saw Ryu Jia wiping her mouth with a tissue and remembered something about her.
“Oh, that’s right.”
What Dojin Lee took out of his subspace pocket was a bracelet.
It was a thin pink gold bracelet. A small diamond was set in the center.
“I bought it at the black market. It’s a gift. I’m giving it to people I’m grateful for.”
Choosing a bracelet as a gift for Ryu Ji-ah was the result of contemplating as much as possible by drawing out a sense that Lee Do-jin did not have.
Better than a necklace or earrings, a bracelet is more comfortable to wear. I thought it would be the most comfortable to put on and take off.
Wearing a bracelet on the wrist of her left arm, Jia Liu carefully touched her bracelet.
“Thank you.”
Liu Jia raised the corners of her mouth, her eye smile.
It was the first gift she received from a member of the opposite s*x, not from her father.
“Really.”
I liked the fact that she was not a gift from the feelings of love, Jia Ryu.
Because friendship is a pretty beautiful thing.
‘A person who receives a gift like this feels more than just friendship. I don’t know about Do-jin.’
Maybe, I will never know.
To be able to give such an accessory as a gift just to thank you. Even if the person who received it was mistaken for a sign of liking, he was innocent.
“It’s been a wonderful day. It’s only eight o’clock. So much has passed.”
At Ryu Ji-ah’s words, Lee Do-jin also laughed.
“Sure. Fighting from dawn. Eating soup for breakfast. Shall we go soon?”
“Yes.”
A faint smile continued to bloom on Ryu Ji-ah’s lips, standing next to Lee Do-jin.
