chapter 18
18 – Mom
*
“After all, it can’t be done at once.”
My stats went up a bit, but it was impossible to go up to level 3 of the Huron training method at once.
‘Well, it took three days to reach the second stage.’
It is unconscionable to expect a level 3 with just 7 hours of training. Still, if you look at the pace, it seems that you can reach it before admission.
The current time is 2:40 PM. Seoyoon would be coming soon, so I washed the shower room that smelled of blood and ventilated it a bit.
I needed a sword, so I put on my new sportswear and moved my body near the room where Eden was, and I felt my body lighten.
Because there was also the King of Knights’ surcoat and an unfinished sword sheath inside, the stats that went up were considerable. With the addition of transcendent strength, the feeling was completely different from when I was in the shower.
“Did you have a good time?”
“Yeah. But when I saw this, it said mom and dad. Who are my mom and dad?”
I was taken aback by the sudden question, but I thought about it for now. First of all, it was Vulcan who made the sword, but it was my blood that awakened the ego, so I wondered if it would be right to see me as my father.
“Am I the father?”
“Hajun’s father…? Then what about his mother?”
At first, I called him Master, but now I call him Hajun.
It doesn’t matter, but since it might be a strange concept to call a male Vulcan a mother, I decided on the cold truth.
“You are not there.”
“… Huh?”
“She has no mother.”
Something is said like chatting in a famous AOS game. What can I do if this is true? Eden had no woman to call his mother.
‘Because I’m a parent.’
In my previous life and this student, I had almost no contact with women.
It is fortunate that in this life, I have Seon-a, a childhood friend, and Seo-yoon, whom I became close with in the field. Because a life without female friends was enough.
Eden doesn’t open his mouth any more, perhaps astonished by the shocking truth.
“I’ll be practicing swordsmanship soon, so could you change into a sword?”
“…Okay.”
With a sullen voice, he put Eden, which had turned into a sword, into the scabbard. He also brought an iron sword for Seoyoon to use.
‘Wait… But can a girl who has never played sports properly wield a steel sword?’
Now that I think about it, I thought it might be overkill.
Still, Seoyoon’s strength, senses, stamina, and mental strength are very talented, so even if she hasn’t exercised, she’s already at the level of an adult man or has room to grow quickly.
‘Actually, Huron training is the best way to rapidly increase her physical abilities…’
She couldn’t recommend that training method to others. It would be a real catastrophe if the person who taught me this and learned it died of shock.
Ding Dong-
With about 10 minutes left until three o’clock, the doorbell rings. When I checked the intercom, I saw a familiar pink hair, and I went out to the front door and opened the door.
“Welcome.”
When I told her to come wearing clothes that were easy to move in, Seoyoon came wearing a top and bottom and sportswear.
“I came a little early, isn’t it okay?”
“Of course not.”
It was 50 times better than coming late. Taking off her shoes, she came inside and handed me one of her pockets.
“Here’s the tutoring fee.”
“Tutoring expenses…?”
“Yes. I came here to learn something useful, but it’s a bit like coming here, right? I bought one because I saw it before and it doesn’t seem to have a subspace pocket, but I didn’t buy it for nothing, right?”
The price of subspace pockets varies depending on the number of lines in the pocket.
A small bag with 1 wire can hold 10kg, a bag with 2 wires can hold 100kg, and a bag with 3 wires can hold 1 ton.
And what Seoyoon bought was two wires. It was something that was roughly 2-3,000 won, and it was too much to receive as a tutoring fee.
“This is…”
“I heard that if you go through this training, you can improve your skills several times compared to before? But it’s still before the start, so I brought something suitable, but if it works well, I’ll try to bring something better next time.”
‘That’s right. He’s rich too.’
A jintobaegi rich man who doesn’t even care about the horns of the two horned wolves. Even if it was not at the level of a famous teenage family, he had the financial power to give at least one pocket of this sub-space.
And as she said, I could become several times stronger than I am now, so I thought that there would be no problem even if I received this amount as a tutoring fee.
‘I’ll just have to teach you that hard.’
“Okay. Then let’s go inside.”
The house was quite large and had a high ceiling, so there was enough room for two people to wield swords.
After coming inside her with her, I started explaining to her what I was going to teach her.
“What I will teach you is swordsmanship.”
“Swordsmanship?”
“Uh. Do you remember yesterday when I instantly slashed the shield with a sword that contained no magical energy?”
“Right. It was…”
At the same time, Seoyoon seemed to have a bit of a slack at the end of her speech, perhaps even remembering the pee she had. I’m sorry again
“But wasn’t that an artifact?”
It’s usually worth thinking that way.
If a sword enchanted or not enchanted easily cuts through a shield, common sense would make no sense unless it was an artifact.
“This is the item I used yesterday. Would you like to check it out?”
She handed her her iron sword. Receiving it, she put on a slightly surprised expression, and her arm went down a little, probably because of her weight.
“It’s heavy… And it’s not a magic sword…?”
It seemed that he felt that there was no magical movement in the sword.
“Then can you give it back and then create a shield? I’ll show you what difference swordsmanship makes.”
“Okay.”
She handed me an iron sword and chanted a spell to surround it with a protective shield.
A low-class magical barrier of the divine type. It is a magic that is perfect for preventing simple shocks.
“For now, this is an attack when not using swordsmanship.”
With pure strength, he swung his sword at her shield. She closes her eyes tightly, probably because of yesterday’s work.
Kang!
But the result was different from yesterday. Although the protective film was cracked, it was not sliced like tofu like yesterday, and it had a sufficiently significant effect.
“Isn’t it pierced?”
Seoyun let out a sigh of relief while looking at the protective shield.
“Then give me another shield.”
If you experiment while it’s already half broken, the second one will inevitably break, so I asked you to recreate the shield.
“Yes.”
The shield that was broken by her spell was refilled and I took a different posture than before.
Basic posture of Eden-ryu swordsmanship. Among them, he took the top three and used a vertical slash on the shield while using only half of the physical ability he used earlier.
Then, this time, the iron sword succeeded in slicing through the protective barrier without much resistance. It didn’t stop at 1cm like yesterday, but ended at the line that cuts only the protective film.
“How is it? Are you sure it’s different?”
“Really… It looked like it was more relaxed, but it cut rather cleanly!”
Perhaps it’s because of the high sensory statistic, it seems that I’ve lost my strength. Also, she had the talent to become a knight.
“I only wielded it without using magic, but wouldn’t it be much stronger if I put magic on the artifact, cast an enchantment, and use auxiliary magic?”
Of course, I wouldn’t be able to do that, but Seoyoon would be able to.
“Yes! I think so.”
“Of course, you have to fight in close combat to see the effect, but you can’t always fight from a distance when fighting monsters, and there are times when you enter a gate or dungeon, right?”
Preparing for close combat is also a basic skill of a mage.
“If you learn the things you need in close combat besides swordsmanship, you’ll soon be able to improve your skills more than before. In my opinion, Seoyoon, you have talent.”
“Really?”
“Uh.”
Once I checked all the students at Celestial Academy with the Insight Eye, Seoyoon had the highest body-related stats.
She doesn’t remember all the children’s figures, but if she was a child with higher body-related stats than Seo-yoon, I would have memorized them with a separate note.
“Okay. I’ll try my best.”
It is very satisfying to see her willingness to work hard with her fists clenched. She wondered if this might be the feelings of a deceased person who teaches newbie prosecutors.
“Shall we start right away?”
“Wait a minute… Take off my clothes.”
“What..?”
Seoyoon suddenly pulls down her pants. In response to the sudden attack, she immediately covered her eyes and deliberately left the space between her fingers open to check, but there were leggings inside her pants.
‘Ah…’
I absolutely do not regret it, but I knew it would be like this. Common sense suggests that the reason a girl would suddenly take off her pants would be if she was wearing something underneath.
She also took off her top zippered sweatshirt, but underneath she was wearing a tank top women work out at the gym.
Seeing her in her tight leggings and her tank top, I thought this was provocative enough.
She has never been to a gym since she was born, but if there are many women like this, going to a gym wouldn’t be a bad thing.
“I was told to wear clothes that are easy to move in, so how about it…? Do you think it’s okay? It’s my first time wearing it.”
She wanted to raise the bar right away, but she held back.
“…They look really good on you?”
“Then good luck!”
But then, suddenly, Eden took an unexpected action. She, who was in her sword state, suddenly changed into a human form and she spoke to Seoyoon.
“Mom…?”
‘Hey.’
When she said she had no mother, she turned the first woman I spoke to into a mother.
