“This is truly the dignity of the strong… … .”
“Not that much.”
“No! Instead of trying to fit me into a different style, you drew a custom painting that suited me!”
“Is that how it is?”
“Yes! Because you continue to guide me in a way that minimizes my shortcomings and maximizes my strengths!”
Shin Yun-hyeok was constantly expressing his admiration for the intensive tutoring he received from Sang-hyeon.
Shin Yun-hyeok had been traveling around a lot to improve his lack of swordsmanship.
However, everyone said that Shin Yun-hyeok’s swordsmanship was crude and tried to fix it, and that’s where he always got tangled up.
This is because the unique habits and tendencies that were developed while learning kendo from a young age are not easily changed.
However, after watching the swordsmanship demonstration, Sang-Hyeon clearly pointed out the pros and cons and presented an alternative.
It was not a complete overhaul based on a blank slate, but rather a supplement to what already existed.
“Being clumsy isn’t a disadvantage. It also means you can turn into a beast.”
“iced coffee…….”
“But that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s an advantage. Roughness means unrefined.”
“that’s right.”
“That’s why I gave you an alternative. In the attacking motion, you should place your center of gravity much further forward than before to increase your aggression.”
“yes.”
“In defensive movements, stability is increased by lowering the posture and falling much more slowly.”
“You are truly amazing.”
“What’s so great about it? You’ve only just begun to understand the theory. If you don’t understand it, you’re stuck.”
Shin Yun-hyeok could feel that he had changed significantly and abundantly with just one point lesson.
With just a few postures that Sang-Hyeon guided in detail, a posture completely different from the previous attacks was established.
Not only that, but I was able to easily break the habits that were almost ingrained in me with a few supplementary movements.
If you only decide on the direction of the first movement in a conscious state, it will not be possible to develop a habit.
‘I think Brother Sang-Hyeon has also experienced the same trial and error.’
Shin Yun-hyeok thought so.
It is not a theory that came out simply by thinking, but a theory that was established through repeated failures and challenges.
That is why I say that I know very well how to fix it.
Of course, Sang-Hyeon only guided Shin Yun-Hyeok with a faint smile, without showing it.
‘awesome…….’
Just looking at it made me feel dizzy because it felt like there was a halo behind Sang-Hyeon’s back.
When Sang-Hyeon demonstrated his swordsmanship right in front of me, I was so surprised that I almost fainted.
This is because Sang-Hyeon possessed the form of swordsmanship that Shin Yun-Hyeok desired.
Simple rather than flashy.
Refined swordsmanship rather than cluttered.
In Shin Yun-hyeok’s eyes, Sang-hyeon’s swordsmanship seemed to be the most optimized swordsmanship for combat.
Because when it comes to killing monsters, flashiness and clutter are of no help at all.
“Whether you’re training or going to the dungeon, keep in mind the swordsmanship I taught you today to break habits.”
“yes!”
“Don’t contact me unless the habit has dwindled to the point where it only comes up once in a while during a fight.”
“yes?”
“If we don’t fix this, there will be no next time.”
“Oh, I understand! I’ll keep that in mind!”
“Go ahead. I gave you my number so you could call me after you’ve fixed that bad habit. Don’t call me until then.”
“I’ll keep that in mind, brother!”
“Then let’s go. I’m really hungry. There’s a quest area at Jamsil Station, so let’s go there first.”
“Okay, bro! I’ll contact you again! I’ll fix it and contact you again and get it checked out!”
“thanks for your effort.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sang-Hyeon left the scene in a flash.
My relationship with Shin Yun-hyeok was a happy one, but it was also due to an unbearable hunger.
I was craving some hot soup.
‘When Yoon-hyuk grows up well, it would be okay to draw a picture for Do Kyung-soo.’
Sang-Hyeon finished his thoughts.
Do Kyung Soo also trained many elite prosecutors in his past life.
And he and the players of the Swordsman-Swordsman team continued to be active and a great help even after 2040.
If it’s Do Kyung-soo, he can be a good guide for Shin Yoon-hyuk.
But that thought was fleeting.
Gulp.
“I’m going crazy. I’m going to collapse.”
Sang-Hyeon’s stomach rumbled with hunger as he diligently ran to the noodle restaurant like an office worker on his way to work.
As soon as I opened the door to the noodle restaurant, I wanted to shout out loud, “Auntie, I want some pork soup!” I was that desperate.
* * *
“uh?”
“uh…….”
“I see it like this.”

Sang-Hyeon’s plan to shout out “I want pork soup” went down the drain.
Usually, Sang-Hyeon would be the only one to come at this time, but there was a guest who had arrived early.
It was Do Kyung-hye, Do Kyung-soo’s younger sister, whom I never expected to meet here.
Although they were close residents living one floor above or below each other, their relationship was tense because they had no contact with each other.
It’s only because we met in the elevator before and greeted each other that I can at least pretend to know each other to this extent.
“Auntie, can I have some pork soup?”
After Sang-Hyeon finished ordering in a toned-down voice, he was about to go to another table when he suddenly stopped.
My gaze went to Do Kyung-hye, who was eating her noodles with a dull face and roughly tied hair.
“Ms. Kyung-hye.”
“yes?”
“If it’s okay, would you like to eat together?”
Sang-Hyeon was used to eating alone, but he felt more uncomfortable eating quietly with his downstairs neighbor by his side.
In fact, I also had thoughts of wanting to get closer to Do Kyung-hye at this time.
Even though she may not have as much fame as her brother, she will soon join the ranks of the named.
Do Kyung-hye, a buff player, was a very capable player who was well-known in her past life.
Many players viewed players who were only responsible for buffs as useless and unnecessary.
Taking a buff player means freeing up one combat-oriented player spot.
There were many questions about whether the buff player who was brought in could do one person’s share.
Assuming that four combat-type players have the combat power of four people.
If a buff type is inserted in that spot, it is considered to be for 4 people or less.
However, Do Kyung-hye was a skilled person who could inflate the fighting power of the remaining three to more than 4.5 people.
Sang-Hyeon was well aware of that fact, and so he had high expectations of her.
“Is that… is that so?”
Do Kyung-hye didn’t seem to particularly dislike him, so she pushed the chair across from her back to make room for him.
Sang-Hyeon sat down with a smile.
When I saw her up close and face to face, I thought she was even more beautiful than when I saw her before.
If she looks like this without any makeup at all, she would probably look really pretty if she had some ‘skill’ in makeup.
Do Kyung-hye said.
“You’re frugal. You even eat noodles with me. I thought you’d be slicing steak with wine at home.”
“Heh, isn’t it the same for both of us? I want to give back to Kyung-hye exactly what you said to me.”
“Heh heh.”
She laughed.
It was because I felt that Sang-Hyeon’s sharp observation was plausible. Is this why empathy is important?
“It’s really delicious here.”
“That’s right. I found out about it a while ago, but I didn’t want other people to find out and come looking for me, so I ate it secretly.”
“It’s the same as me.”
“That’s a symbol of playfulness.”
“So. Both of them are rich.”
The image of Do Kyung-hye that I remember from my previous life was that she was a person who didn’t speak much and didn’t really talk much in the first place.
When he actually spoke to her in person and had a conversation, her tone of voice was more friendly than Sang-Hyeon had expected.
There was also consideration in pouring water into Sang-Hyeon’s cup and taking a wet towel with him. These are small but meaningful things.
Put a bowl of noodles in front of you.
Sang-Hyeon and Do-Kyung-Hye started talking. It was an unexpected meeting, but it was a freer conversation because of that.
* * *
After finishing the meal.
Sang-Hyeon and Do-Kyung-Hye continued their conversation as they walked along the road.
In each hand, they were holding an iced Americano, freshly poured into an ice cup at a convenience store.
“Isn’t it hard to carry around such a heavy sword? Your sword looks particularly big.”
“Well, I guess I consider it exercise.”
Sang-Hyeon smiled as he looked at the Blood Sword behind his shoulder.
In fact, it was very light because it was lightweight. However, it was only a special feature that only Sang-Hyeon could feel.
“I think Kyung-hye would be more uncomfortable than that. Isn’t that white fan an important artifact?”
“That’s right. Without this, most of my skills would be sealed. But it’s hard to tie it up, and it’s hard to carry around… … .”
Do Kyung-hye gently waved her white fan.
It’s an artifact that has a very old-fashioned feel, but it doesn’t really go with the tracksuit outfit I’m wearing now.
“I think it would go well with a hanbok.”
“Later, when my brother had an official event, he told me to wear a hanbok, and I said okay. Haha.”
“By the way, why doesn’t Kyung-hye move with Do Kyung-soo?”
“I don’t want to be my brother’s shadow. Rather than being Do Kyung Soo’s younger sister, I want to be myself, Do Kyung Hye.”
“Ah. I see.”
“Why do you ask when you already know?”
“But I’m still curious.”
“Anyway, I just want to make my own career. Your chance is too easy.”
I suddenly thought that it would be painful for Kim Mi-so, who was diligently using her father’s chance, to hear that.
Of course, it’s not that Kim Mi-so is doing anything wrong.
She has the tenacity to grow beyond what she invested in… … .
Because that would later become the driving force that would lead her to grow into the name of the Shrine of Slaughter.
“Ms. Kyung-hye.”
“yes?”
“Would you like to go to our dungeon or gate? Let’s do it with a high difficulty level for 2 people.”
“suddenly?”
“What’s going on all of a sudden? It’s not fun if you don’t talk about dungeons or gates among players.”
Sang-Hyeon was confident.
If it’s an extremely strong one-person concept like yours that’s close to being an all-rounder, Do Kyung-hye’s buff will be greatly felt.
What if we gave a buff that increased damage to Sang-Hyeon, who can strike critical hits as easily as breathing?
At that point, the basic attack is no longer ‘basic’. It becomes an express train to hell.
Right then.
Booooooo!
On the streets, which were quieter than expected because it was a holiday, the loud noise of a motorcycle was suddenly heard.
Of course, there are often guys who run wild, intoxicated by the thrill of speed, so it wasn’t a new thing.
“… … !”
Sang-Hyeon, who had an instinctive intuition about something, wrapped his arms around Do-Kyung-Hye’s body and immediately grabbed the fan.
It was a case where Sang-Hyeon’s animalistic senses were expressed in action, with his body reacting before his head.
“ah……?”
Do Kyung-hye was taken aback by Sang-hyun’s movements that were close to a hug, and for a split second, Sang-hyun’s face flashed before her eyes.
But Sang-Hyeon didn’t even look at her and immediately grabbed the white line that was in her right hand.
『Recovery』
Instant recovery!
The target of Sang-Hyeon’s recovery was not himself or Do Kyung-Hye, but her debt.
and.
Hurray!
For a moment, I felt as if a strong force was pulling at the fan, but it was soon released and rendered powerless by Recovery.
‘He was a thief.’
At that moment, Sang-Hyeon’s eyes, which were still young, turned towards the motorcycle that was the source of the loud noise.
and.
『Death Touch』
Without having to think about it for too long.
I used Death Touch, a skill that forcibly summons an opponent with a certain probability.
The odds are fifty-fifty, but once you’re drawn in.
I was going to let this thief experience the great price he pays for his dangerous endeavors.
