chapter 9
Episode 9. Beginning of training (1)
An intense desire to be strong.
The desire he had for the first time in his life was imprinted on Yuri’s mind, and Yohan noticed such a change.
‘Heh, I was just trying to break my pride… It seems that it even raised the fire.’
If you were an ordinary person, you would be frustrated or give up in front of the overwhelming power you showed.
However, a guy named Yuri found his goal and motivation in the power he showed.
And such a situation was very pleasing to John.
Because people with motivation and goals grow quickly.
‘where… Shall we put in at least one piece of firewood so that his fire doesn’t go out?’
Jerk-.
Yohan, who turned himself up, looked at the glass and opened his mouth.
“What I want to confirm through you is the effectiveness of the newly created chess art. As I said in advance, this is an unfinished horsemanship.”
“… … .”
“Until now, based on my experience and knowledge, I have been building a framework for a new martial art… From now on, you and I will work together to add muscle and flesh to the skeleton.”
“… … .”
“It will probably be a lot of hard work, taking quite a long time. It’s so painful that you might want to give up every day. if… If you want to give up, run away anytime. I won’t catch you but… … .”
After a moment of silence, John’s eyes flashed.
His voice gained strength.
“If you endure the whole process without running away… If only that would complete the muron I established!”
Sreuk – Tak!
The sword is sucked into the scabbard. Yohan grinned and pointed at the glass with his index finger.
“You bastard who has learned that will be able to give a proper blow to my face as well as the sword master’s face. In the first place… It is a magic trick created for that purpose.”
“… … .”
“How can you afford it?”
Yuri tilted her head at Yohan’s provocative question.
‘Are you calling that a question now?’
would you run away?
can you afford it?
An inexorable sword that survived by challenging the sword master twice.
A martial art for counter swordsman that he said he created based on his own experience.
Running away with the chance to get your hands on real strength right around the corner?
It didn’t sound like words.
Fire-.
Heat boiled in Yuri’s eyes, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
“Can you afford it? Can you handle such inspiration? Even if I start something, I don’t mess around with it. Don’t run away saying you can’t do it later because you’re tired.”
“Phehehe, that kid, as long as your mouth is alive. Okay, let’s see who gets away first.”
boy and old man.
Two golden and gray eyes, but oddly similar, met in the air and sparks flew out.
The snowball fight with pride continued for a long time.
Meanwhile… … .
“Inspiration… … .”
Yuri’s voice, slightly chubby, flew in.
“I know that?”
“What do you mean?”
“Did I mean to leave anyway? So until now, the money I’ve earned so far, the goods, the food… Anyway, I mean, I prepared quite a bit for this and that.”
“Hoo? That’s great. We can just pack them and leave.”
“Yeah, by the way… Not anymore.”
“huh?”
“No more. He just disappeared.”
“… … ?”
“Your inspiration was blown away. along with that one.”
Yuri stretched out her finger and pointed out where the cliff had been and where her hiding place had been.
“… … .”
“… … .”
There is no word between the two.
wheein-.
In the past, where there were cliffs and mountains, but now only empty space remains, a cold wind blew and lingered between Yuri and John.
Yuri’s eyes widened in the wind.
“Inspiration.”
“… … .”
“It’s okay to show off your strength… ok this is it! however!”
“… … .”
“What about my clothes? what about my food? Above all, 2 years, no, 8 years of hard work… My money?!”
Every time Yuri’s voice resounded, John’s gaze gradually fell to the ground.
“that… So, don’t dwell on such trivial things… … .”
John timidly tried to protest.
“A small thing? Sasoo oh oh clothes? Did you say that the 8 years that I have shed my blood and sweat are insignificant!”
hahahaha!
I looked down at the black kitty who was hissing right in front of my eyes.
The first snowball fight between Yuri and Yohan with their pride.
Hyaaagh-!
Yuri’s victory came back with a series of manacles.
* * *
Disappeared mountains and cliffs.
An open space appeared in its place.
Seeing this, Gunter’s lips parted slightly.
‘oh my god?!’
It was early in the morning when reports of the sudden disappearance of cliffs and mountains came in.
At first, I thought it was someone’s joke, but it wasn’t.
Indeed, a mountain disappeared overnight.
Seeing this, Ashraf was convinced that it was Johann Redner’s work.
He said that John was the only one in the vicinity who would do such a thing.
His confidence shocked Gunther even more.
‘Goodbye now… Is it something that one human being can do?!’
I had heard of the master’s reputation, but honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this great.
‘People who are called masters are like this… Just how strong is the sword master, who is said to be a superman?’
The power of the swordsman who defeated Johann Redner twice, who created such a ridiculous transfer.
I couldn’t even imagine.
Gunther, who had been standing in a daze for a long time, clenched his fists tightly.
Woodeuk-.
‘The inexorable sword Johann Redner and his chosen Yuri Holland.’
I heard reports that they had left Irons.
During his time in the cradle, Yuri will grow under the guidance of Johann Redner.
And someday… I had a strong premonition that I would meet Yuri Holland again.
‘then… I don’t want to lose.’
That Yuri was chosen by John instead of herself, but it wasn’t because she was lacking.
I wanted to prove it to Yuri Holland, whom I will meet in the future.
‘You have to push me harder.’
A guy named Yuri will grow rapidly under the master’s systematic and excellent training method.
In order to break that glass, I had no choice but to work harder than that guy.
I was so determined, but I couldn’t help but feel a little envious.
“How amazing is the training method you receive from a master?”
Gunther had a slightly envious and lonely smile.
He quickly erased that smile and returned to the manor.
For today’s training.
Looking forward to seeing Yuri again.
* * *
The time when the sun goes down in the middle of the sky.
After leaving Irons, Yuri and Yohan were preparing lunch in a forest.
“hehehe! Whoop whoop.”
With Yuri who hums.
“… … .”
John frowns in silence.
Yohan, who couldn’t stand Yuri’s continued hum, vomited out his dissatisfaction.
“Are you just robbing my wallet and serving me a rabbit?”
“Ehehehe, that’s all! wait a little bit and see I’ll be ordering Yuri Holland’s special roast rabbit.”
“If you try to paint a rabbit with lacquer, it’s a lacquered rabbit, but what about special grilled rabbit… … .”
“Can you stop mumbling? Would you like to get some of this?”
“Okay.”
John closed his mouth with a groan and muttered inwardly.
‘I… A hungry boy!’
John, who blew away Yuri’s entire fortune through a very, very minor mistake.
As Yuri continued to grumble, he shouted out loud, ‘Isn’t it enough for me to compensate for that much!’
That was his second mistake.
As if waiting for those words, Yuri robbed Yohan of his wallet.
‘Even if I say all the wealth he accumulated, I’m sure it won’t be even half of the money he took from me… … !’
However, Yuri, the person who suffered the damage, said that this was not enough, so she gave away her entire wallet in order to eat mustard with her eyes wide open and crying.
Yohan grinded his teeth on his slim wallet.
‘It’s travel expenses, you can stop by the bank and find it… … .’
Aside from that, the fact that I was eaten by a kid who was only 15 made me very upset.
‘To think that the world’s Johann Redner was being scammed by a bloodless bastard!’
This made one thing certain.
‘If it’s him… They won’t die of starvation even in the cradle.’
Yohan, who clicked his tongue inside, looked at Yuri who was grilling a rabbit with a happy face.
He was just dabbing something on the rabbit.
“What is that?”
“Oh, this? A mixture of dried Angola root and various herbal powders. If you bake it like this, the bad smell will be completely removed. I’m hungry too.”
While explaining, Yuri’s hand did not stop.
The ability to hunt rabbits in an instant, and the process of grooming them.
From thrifty leather to the vitality of saving well and how to grill meat.
Everything was very efficient and skillful.
Not like my peers.
At this, John’s eyes flashed.
“Where did you learn that?”
“What do you learn? It’s a catch that I learned naturally after rolling around for about eight years to avoid starving to death.”
“Eight years? Didn’t I tell you that you are fifteen this year?”
“Oh, right.”
“her… You’ve been wandering the world alone since you were seven? Where is your hometown?”
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know your hometown?”
“I came out of the neighborhood where I used to live and wandered around aimlessly. After that, I struggled to make ends meet and ended up in Irons.”
“her… … .”
A look of surprise crossed John’s face.
It is said that there was no major war because the continent was leveled by the sword master, but the world was not so easy for a 7-year-old child to wander the world alone.
No matter how much he possessed the transcendental power of incarnation, surviving alone was another thing.
It’s not because Hwa-Shin saves food and earns money.
‘I wondered why his personality became such a secular old man… It must have been because I learned the world early at a young age.’
A child who realized the filth of the world and lost his innocence.
That was the current glass.
After staring at him for a while, John asked.
“Are your parents here?”
“If I had something like that, would I be the way I am now?”
“Are you dead?”
“I don’t know.”
“you… What do you know?”
“How do I know if the mother and father who abandoned me are alive or dead?”
“… … .”
“Still, there was a grandmother that I picked up and raised… Died, 8 years ago. Well, I wasn’t even close enough to say I liked that old woman, so don’t look at me sympathetically.”
In fact, Yohan was at a loss for words at Yuri’s calm, nonchalant voice.
‘Looking at the vigilance and personality that guy showed at the beginning, I expected it to be roughly like that, but… … .’
Apparently, a guy named Yuri had a harder time going through the world than he thought.
With that thought in mind, when Yohan didn’t say anything, Yuri shot at him with sullen eyes.
“What kind of wind suddenly blew, why is the investigation of the hukou?”
In response to the sharp reaction, Yohan loosened his hardened face slightly and said playfully.
“If you die, shouldn’t we return you to your family in your hometown?”
“Ah, the wrong ride! Spit on it! Spit it three times!”
“Puhhh.”
“Sounds unlucky! Why am I dying? Spit it quickly!”
The fight between the two, who had been arguing for a long time after that, ended with the meat revealing an appetizing appearance.
First, Yuri asked after cutting off a full bowl of meat.
“So, whether it’s the experiment or the training… When will that start?”
Yuri’s eyes sparkled as she asked the question.
Although he is an old man like a young pseudonym, he was a master in terms of his strength and reputation.
What will he teach you first?
What is the true mastery of training?
I hope it will be a meaningful start to gaining real strength.
Yuri’s heart skipped a beat in anticipation.
And as if he knew about Yuri’s affair, Yohan answered with a grin.
“I was going to start from today without rushing. Clinkle, eat a lot and get plenty of rest. It will be our last supper.”
“That’s what I’m looking forward to.”
“Don’t be afraid to go back later and say you can’t do it.”
“Nothing like that.”
Yuri replied with a firm and confident face.
However, it didn’t take long for Yuri’s confident expression to change.
After a while.
Yuri stared alternately at John and at the object behind him.
“Inspiration, what is that?”
“What is it, is this your first time seeing a cart?”
Answering bluntly, John knocked down the old wagon.
After saying that he was going somewhere for a while, Yohan brought an old number that was so amazing that it rolled.
At his answer, Yuri tilted her head.
“I will see you for the first time. I mean, why did you bring it? It’s not like we have too much luggage to use a cart, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, John laughed.
Then, he quickly climbed onto the cart and put his prosthetic leg on the railing.
“Come on, drag it!”
At that majestic cry, Yuri was momentarily dazed.
It was only natural for him to ask if he had heard it wrong.
“… this? pull? I?”
“Then you will do it, or will I?”
“Why am I pulling this?”
To that basic question, Yohan crossed his arms and answered.
“Tsk tsk, foolish ahahahaha. Do you know what you lack the most right now?”
After thinking for a while, Yuri came up with an answer.
“I’m sure you can’t?”
But what came back was a snort full of ridicule.
“Poop? manaah? Are you being creative with some lousy bullsh*t? What you lack the most right now is stamina, stamina!”
“What are you talking about! How good am I?”
“That’s just good compared to normal people. The ones you have to compete with from now on are the ones who won’t break a drop of sweat even if you run for 3 nights and 4 days carrying a stone weighing dozens of kilos. Compared to those things, you have poor stamina!”
“Me, low-quality stamina?”
“If you want to live, you have to steadily develop your body and energy intensively! Only then will you be able to match the disharmony with the soul. So don’t talk nonsense and drag it!”
“I am not saying anything.”
“Don’t worry. In the future I will make you run better than at least a horse. kuhh So move quickly, are you going to leak me here?”
Tak – Tak!
John’s prosthetic leg struck the stretch cart.
From that appearance, he showed a will to never get off the cart.
Yuri’s eyes narrowed at this.
“… Inspiration, I’m asking just in case.”
“What?”
“Isn’t it simply that old man doesn’t like to walk, so he’s using the excuse of training as an excuse?”
“… … .”
“Is that so?”
“… … .”
“yes?”
Yohan did not answer Yuri’s repeated questions.
Rather, he slightly averted his gaze and slammed the cart with his prosthetic leg again, making a loud noise.
“Oh no! What are you arguing about knowing something! Back in the day, even if the noun taught me to eat feces, I didn’t say anything and drank it anyway!”
“… Dirty real.”
“This guy, if he’s black, he’s going to play it, but where does he answer in a snarky way!”
look at me, me
Yuri was at a loss for words at the extremely forced and ostentatious shout.
‘what? Masterful training method? A meaningful first start?’
There was nothing like that.
No, it was right not to have expectations in the first place.
“You bastard, what are you doing without dragging it? why? can’t you? Do you think you can’t? give up? Just something like this? Tsk tsk, you looked at my person very wrong!”
Yohann yells loudly while slowly adding medicine.
Yuri was strongly convinced of his actions.
‘This inspiration… It was a real pseudo.’
Master freezes to death.
