chapter 18
18 – Twins – 3
“That’s such an anachronistic convention.”
Twins are just twins. To think that something like that appeared in mythology is a problem in real life too.
It was a different world that I liked, but this part is a bit…
“You think so?”
“Yes. So you were suppressed?”
“I can’t say no. When I first came to the academy, I was told that I was the son of an ominous evil god.”
Cecile’s voice was calm. Even though she was referring to the past, which must have been difficult, she was putting on a relaxed expression, saying that the past was just the past.
“Of course, I didn’t leave those guys who were talking like that in front of me. Huhuhu…”
That’s right.
Well, yes.
A person with a strong opinion like Cecil wouldn’t end up just being beaten.
“I’m okay with my personality, but… Lucy had a hard time. That guy is pretty timid.”
“Looks like it.”
She is the one who was startled in shock when she saw only the corpse of a monster in the monster forest.
She has a strong but kind heart, and she may have had a difficult childhood because of her timidity.
“It was okay when I was with her all the time… But after I came to the academy, it was difficult. She participated in nobles’ parties that I couldn’t attend due to the academy’s schedule. You know why. Birthday parties and tea parties. .. What a socialite like that.”
“Do I have to do that?”
“Because I’m a nobleman. I can get a lot of information from such gatherings, and there are definitely some benefits. Anyway, it’s unavoidable to hear talk from behind when you participate in such a gathering.”
A similar thing happened in Moorim.
The children of the well-to-do family or the late Jisoo of the old school kept their identities in mind while hanging out together.
“Because people are animals that take pleasure in slandering others.”
“I want to deny it, but it’s sad that I can’t.”
If it is a human being who longs for someone and strives to reach him, then it is also a human being who has a heart to bring down someone by being jealous and envying them if they are even slightly ahead of them.
Lucy was pretty, kind, and talented as a healer. She
She said that she was nothing special, but when she thinks of the last time she healed a wounded soldier in the forest of monsters, her talent is by no means average.
Since she is that kind of person, she must be quite popular with men as well.
Then what about women? She must have wanted to scratch it.
“That’s why being twins is a good thing to disparage. So after I went to the academy, on the day she went to a party alone, Lucy was always whimpering in her room. She said she was an evil spirit.”
“This is true. It seems that your heart is too weak.”
“Could you be nice to me?”
“This is true. You seem to have a very kind heart.”
“So. When I went with you, I just suppressed you with my skills and words, but he said he couldn’t do that because he was too soft-hearted. Whether he did it or not, he would be criticized anyway, so what’s there to be afraid of?”
We have the same face, but our personalities are completely opposite. She shrugged her shoulders and spoke indifferently. She kept her mouth shut for a moment, then continued her words in a voice full of bitterness.
“Anyway, it’s not easy to find a marriage partner just because they’re twins. Anyway, they’re evaluated as unlucky. Even in the aristocratic marriage market, the evaluation isn’t good.”
“That means Cecil. It’s difficult for you to find a marriage partner…”
“Ah. I’m fine.”
“Are you a non-marriage?”
“No. I’m looking for natural dating. I’m free to date and marry someone who doesn’t care about twins or anything like that.”
“I wish Lucy did too.”
“What I said. But I guess it’s because of her personality. She’s so nervous that she can’t even speak properly in front of men. Because of that, strange people get seduced.”
Scratching her head and sighing, she clapped lightly.
As if to stop talking about this topic, he pointed at her Taegeuk magic sword.
“By the way, it’s Taegeuk. It’s a pretty good concept. Stability is born from chaos…”
“Originally, everything is cyclical. That’s why there are quite a few martial arts using Taegeuk in Moorim. Like Taijiquan or Taegeuk sword.”
“Taijiquan? Quanbeop? If so, I want to learn it.”
“If it’s as simple as that, I can teach you.”
In Murim, Taijiquan was an exercise that was recommended to the general public. It might be a good exercise for Cecile, who only studies and studies every day at the academy.
“That’s nice. Can you teach me now?”
“Is that so? Let’s leave first. It’s difficult to teach here.”
I went outside with Cecil.
She didn’t have to go very far. You don’t need a lot of space to practice tai chi.
“Okay. Let’s start with the left hand.”
I held out my hand to Cecile, who was standing in front of me. With the backs of my left hands touching each other, I lowered my left hand.
“Huh?!”
“Embrace the flow.”
The opponent in front of you is a person who does not even know martial arts.
I don’t know if he has even the basic experience of handling the body like Atram, but it would be better to see him as a person who has spent his entire life reading books and studying magic.
For such a person, it is better to carve them into the body like this rather than teaching them one by one from scratch.
“This. Are you doing it?”
“Yeah. It feels a bit weird, right? Just accept it, though.”
I waved my left hand lightly, and her hand followed suit. Round and round, lightly spinning around, he naturally grabbed my wrist.
“All things are formed by yin and yang, and they repeat extinction and creation. Taijiquan is a martial art that deals with Taiji. In Wulin, it is said that it is so easy that anyone can use it, but only a few realize its true meaning.”
Despite the drop of her left hand, Cecile’s movements were undisturbed. Her movement seems to draw a calm circle thanks to my internal energy. My circle merges into it.
Our movements continued to be symmetrical even as we repeatedly blended and fell.
“An polar opposite is an opposite, which means unity.”
I stretched out my hand toward Cecil. Naturally accepting the rotation, she lightly held my hand and turned her body around, and I dug inside her, guided by it.
Rotate, rotate, rotate.
You don’t need a lot of strength. If you use the principle of Taegeuk, you can move a mountain with the power of a speck of dust.
That could be said to be the magic of Taegeuk.
“The unified, perfect power of nature. It is called Taegeuk.”
.
.
.
About an hour of smoke, followed by an hour of theory class. For now, this is enough to teach Tai Chi.
Since the basic movements have been carved into your body, if you want to train yourself, your body will naturally accept the movements of Tai Chi that I have taught you.
“This is amazing. Can you teach something like this?”
Cecile spoke in a pleasant tone as she wiped away the sweat. Teaching like this
Not everyone can do it.
It’s possible because he’s a master like me.
And originally, they don’t even teach this way.
Because it is quite important for an unmanned person to learn how to move one hand and one foot and explore the path to enlightenment.
That’s why I teach Atram the same way.
“Yes.”
But Cecil doesn’t have to go that far.
“I’m not going to tell you to train hard, but it’s good to do it at least once a day. Anyway, this is also a health regimen, so the more you do it, the healthier you become.”
“I’ve been told to do some exercise anyway. This will be a good workout.”
She started her Tai Chi routine once again. Although she was clumsy, she seemed to fully remember the haze itself.
“Can you use this for dancing?”
“Well… I think it’s possible. There were people in Moorim who thought of tai chi as a dance.”
Especially the Safa did that.
Because they’re the ones who don’t accept anything but the strong.
“Anyway, there are a lot of eyes.”
People who came and went stopped to watch us, probably because we were openly practicing taijiquan. It wasn’t embarrassing to be a spectator. I am the one who will only be here for a few days. But will Cecil, who should always be there, be okay?
“Let’s try again.”
Looks fine. He is a very caring person.
“It’s not good to just train too much. You have to think about tomorrow.”
“Ah. Muscle pain?”
“Yes. You’re going to have a hard time tomorrow because you’re using muscles you didn’t use before. I’ll teach you how to warm up, so please do it whenever you feel sick.”
After that, there was a brief teaching. Like a diligent student, she listened to what I was saying and nodded her head.
“Okay. I memorized everything.”
“Excellent.”
“Have this much. Alright then. Shall we end the day here soon? Follow me. You’ll show me where to rest.”
Speaking in a light tone, she led me to a place in the academy.
Faculty dormitory. It was a small building next to the building that says “. She told me that this is the building that guests use every time they come, and she assigns me a room there.
“You can rest here. It’s where nobles stay, so the room won’t be too bad. You can call servants if you need it.”
“Thank you.”
“I’ll have to thank you. Okay. Well… What should I do now?”
Laughing awkwardly at her, she shrugged her shoulders, and I smiled at her and then pointed outside her.
“I’d like to walk around for a while by myself.”
“Really? You don’t need a guide?”
“It’s an unknown quest, so it wouldn’t hurt to try it alone.”
“hahahaha. That’s it. Then, I have a place I recommend. Go from the academy to the north section.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“There are many magical engineers who enchant weapons there. It will be more helpful to a warrior like you.”
Enchantra. Expect that What can you put on a knife?
Cecil went to her lab for her research and I headed north to her academy she recommended. After walking for a while, she could find the street of the magic engineers she said.
“Come on! Welcome! Welcome!”
“Your sword turns into a powerful sword that can cut anything for only three gold coins!!”
“Do you want strong armor? Do you want light armor? If so, Hegel’s enchantment! Feel the power of a magician proven at the academy!”
“Power uh uh! We will strengthen your muscles! Just two silver silver!”
It is quite a crowded street. It was when I was walking down a street full of people soliciting customers here and there.
“I can’t believe it! I met a great master here! This must be guided by the goddess! Meeting you and me must be destiny!”
“Huh?”
Did you call me? I looked in one corner and saw a man sitting in a chair. A skinny man wearing glasses approached me with a grin and said seriously.
“Wouldn’t you need a special enchantment?! I’ll give you a special enchantment that can’t be copied anywhere else in this city!”
“What kind of enchantment is it that makes you so confident?”
He spoke in a tone full of confidence.
“I will make your sword sing!”
What are all these features?
Let’s run it now.
