chapter 6
6. Sword-mad b*tch
The girl with pink hair swung her sword relentlessly.
A Japanese sword, a sword in the shape of a katana, was covered with red swords.
Kaaang!
I faced the sword with a wooden sword wrapped around a sword.
“Are you going to keep using it?”
The girl asked with a smile. You’re talking about a wooden sword.
“Do I look that funny?”
The red eyes glowed in the girl’s pupils.
No, I can only use this. Don’t get me wrong.
“I’ll make you use a real sword somehow.”
No, it’s because I can’t use a real sword.
A red sword rushed towards her neck.
No, I thought she did, but she suddenly twisted her tracks down.
Wedge love liquid!
She managed to escape the attack by twisting her body.
My hair became soft.
If she had stayed still, her left leg would have been cut.
“You’re quick to notice.”
A stream of red flowed from the body of the girl who was still smiling.
Of course, the three goblins I killed yesterday looked stronger than Hyunwoo Jin.
She straightened her wooden sword.
However, Mistil Tane’s voice rang out in her head.
[You have encountered a strong person.]
[Activate the combat system.]
It was just a moment.
A green light flashed in her eyes.
[Explore the opponent’s attack route.]
“I keep my word.”
The girl who stopped attacking for a moment rushed again.
A red sword flying from the top right.
I barely twisted my wooden sword to counter the attack.
“Block all of this, too.”
The girl raised the corner of her mouth and thrust her sword straight ahead.
Chwaaa!
The swordsmanship spread in a total of 5 lines.
The problem was that nothing seemed fake.
Zeng!
I barely met the sword attack that seemed to be approaching the fastest with a difference of an instant.
But there were 4 more left.
[You have completed searching for the opponent’s attack route.]
Mystyltain’s sweet voice resounded.
From that moment on, I could see it. The order of the swords that hit me.
On the surface, it seemed like 5 swords were coming at the same time, but it was clearly 5 consecutive stabs.
If you know the order, there’s no way I can’t stop it.
I broke her arms and legs. Her muscles screamed, but she couldn’t help it.
Damn it!
Repelled all stabs.
“… Are you blocking this?”
The girl laughed. And she ran again.
The swords of each other were intertwined. The sound of friction echoed endlessly.
Keying!
A tingling sensation rose through the wooden sword. But I can’t stop.
The surrounding tree branches flew through the air.
Suddenly!
A red ink brushed my shoulders.
My sword spirit brushed against the girl’s thighs.
But no one groaned, let alone screamed.
“Hey, you are smiling.”
Kagang!
“Isn’t it fun?”
The girl said, still grinning.
I couldn’t deny the girl’s words. A warm sensation ran through my whole body.
This endless cycle of sword strikes.
It was fun.
Another dozen sword attacks followed.
Slurr!
After retrieving her sword once, the girl planted her sword firmly on the ground and drew her sword straight down.
Wow!
A red wave and a colorless black wave bounced along with a pagong sound.
“Isn’t that enough?”
My body was covered in sweat.
Now I was physically at my limit.
And it was the same with the girl in front of her.
The girl who was staring at me kept her sword in the scabbard of her waist.
“How old are you?”
“Yes?”
“How old are you? I am 18 years old. Baek Hwa-yeon.”
Looking at their looks, they look like the same age.
I didn’t know they were really the same age.
“18 Years old.”
At my words, the girl’s eyes widened.
“Really? Really?”
The girl widened her eyes.
“Then are we friends?”
Could this be the lines of someone who rushed in first and tried to cut the knife?
“Then you are an Athena cadet?”
The girl thrust her face.
I decided to put my honor on hold.
“No.”
I’m a dropout, though.
“That’s right, as expected, Master was right. Athena said that she is a den of geniuses, and that if she has talent, there is no need to go.”
Who is the teacher?
Top Rank Hunter No one talks like that.
Baek Hwa-yeon stared at me intently.
“Are you going to Iroas Academy?”
Iroas Academy. I nodded.
“Uh, I’m going.”
I made a decision, so there was no need to hide it.
Baek Hwa-yeon laughed briskly. She had a different feeling from the speculation she had shown up to this point.
“Okay, see you at the entrance ceremony in a year.”
After saying that, Baek Hwa-yeon stood up.
“Ah! You didn’t tell me your name!”
“Lee Do-jin.”
“Thank you! See you at the entrance ceremony! Dojin.”
Baek Hwa-yeon grinned again and started her descent.
Then she suddenly stopped her steps, and a white force flowed through her body.
“At that time, I will definitely make you raise a real sword.”
Baek Hwa-yeon was once again obsessed with her true sword.
I can only use her wooden sword. I can’t even tell you this the first time I saw it. Even if she saw her often, unless it was made clear that she was trustworthy, she might never be able to speak.
The fact that she can use mana only by holding a wooden sword must be her biggest weakness.
Bai Hwa-yeon shook her hand a few times, and then she went down quickly.
“I didn’t do my best.”
Line.
She felt that she hadn’t crossed the line she had set for herself.
I’ve never seen Jin Hyeon-woo take everything out, but I didn’t think Jin Hyeon-woo’s best would beat Baek Hwa-yeon’s best.
Of course, my preconceived notion that there would be a lot of promising players in Athena was ruthlessly shattered.
The sun was setting.
I also descended slowly.
It was the day I received a wooden sword from the elderly Choi Cheol-hyun.
“Write well.”
The elder indifferently held out a piece of her wooden sword to me.
On the outside, it was just an ordinary wooden sword.
“Do you have a name?”
“Why am I building that? Even if you build it, you have to build it.”
That was right. There was no name that came to mind right now.
“Thank you. In many ways.”
“Go. I’ll stop by next time I’m nearby.”
It seems he was just a good-natured uncle.
***
I returned home late at night.
It’s past 11 o’clock, but now there are more important things than sleep.
An interaction between a wooden sword made of millennial wood and Misteltein.
Lee Do-jin picked up a wooden sword.
[This is a suitable weapon.]
Misteltane’s voice rang in my ears.
[Begins interaction.]
[Resolve the true name of this tree.]
[Jinmyeong-Wolha Tree]
The real name wasn’t Millennial Tree.
[Starts ‘Song of the Tree’.]
[Prepare.]
Lee Do-jin had forgotten for a while. What kind of guidance came out when she said to prepare.
I lost consciousness.
I opened my eyes.
Get down on your knees. I saw Misteltein, who looked like she was praying with her hands together.
An unknown song flowed from Mistiltein’s mouth.
And before that, something began to sprout on the ground.
It was the sprout of a tree that sprouted from the earth.
And the sprout started growing right away with a turquoise light.
The tree got bigger and bigger.
Even the appearance of a giant tree in its most brilliant days.
I found out why the name was Moonhamok.
The tree really grew tall enough to reach the moon.
Saaa….
Dozens of green stems flowed from the fully grown tree.
[Calculate the historical value of the moon tree.]
[Summon a character.]
Lee Do-jin swallowed dry saliva.
She kept an eye on who would be her mentor.
[Sword Emperor Dan Chun-wu]
The green stems created the figure of a man.
Black long hair.
And a muscular body. The knife marks on his body showed the path he had walked.
“Where are you? I am dead.”
The man looked around her, his eyes wide open.
“One little girl, one guy.”
Lee Do-jin felt his whole body harden. The sense of intimidation that the man, Dan Chun-wu exudes, was hardly felt as belonging to this world.
[Grants the necessary knowledge to the summoner.]
A group of green lights wrapped around Dan Chun-wu’s body.
Chunwoo Dan closed his eyes.
As if deep in thought.
After the green group subsided, I slowly opened my eyes.
“… That’s why, the principal summoned to this world is just the me that Moon Ha-Mok remembers. Is it just an illusion?”
Dan Chun Wu gestured his chin at Lee Do Jin.
“Isn’t it my only destiny as a principal to teach this kid?”
Mistil Tane nodded her head.
“Yes, until all the spirits of the tree of the moon tree are gone. You can stay here as you are.”
Dan Chun-wu faced Mistiltein.
“How much is that exactly?”
“It is one year here.”
Mistiltane stared at Lee Do-jin.
“Six months will have passed in real time. It’s possible because I interacted with the higher tree and my status rose. After using it once, you have to accumulate strength for several months before you can use it.”
Dan Cheonwu grinned.
“What if I don’t want to teach the kid?”
Mistiltane stared at Dan Chun-wu.
“You will disappear. Here.”
As if thinking hard again, Dan Chun-wu scanned the scenery in the world of Mistiltein.
“What a beautiful place. It’s not as good as the night sky in midfield. This body looks like it’s really alive. If it wasn’t for the knowledge you taught me by attaching strange grasses, I would have thought I was reincarnated.”
Chunwoo Dan looked at Dojin Lee.
“Disciple, disciple. Well, I wasn’t able to raise a disciple in my lifetime.”
Chunwu Dan picked up a twig from the floor.
Black air rose from the tree branch Dan Chun-wu picked up.
“Come on, kid. Shouldn’t I know what level the person I have to teach is at?”
In Lee Do-jin’s hand, a wooden sword appeared with a green light.
“… This crazy guy Just because I use a tree branch, do you also use a wooden sword like that?”
Lee Do-jin shook his head quickly.
“Because I have a cursed body that allows me to use sword skills only when I am holding a wooden sword.”
Unable to understand what Dojin Lee said, Chunwoo Dan’s forehead wrinkled.
The green stem wrapped around Dan Chun-wu’s body once more.
Knowledge of Lee Do-jin’s condition entered his head.
Dan Chun-wu burst into laughter when he learned of Lee Do-jin’s physical condition.
“This is a funny guy. This.”
