Chapter 138 Roman Dmitri’s people (2)
Six people representing Roman.
They each had their own reputation.
Chris and Kevin were famous all over the Northeast.
Chris was called Dmitri’s genius swordsman even before he was active on the battlefield, and he showed great success like Kevin in the great warrior battle with Barko.
The flash of Cairo and the existence called the demon.
Since there are many people who have actually seen their powerlessness, people hoped to avoid fighting with the two as much as possible.
Volkan and Pookie.
They overwhelm people with their origin and appearance.
The fact that he was a war mercenary meant a difficult experience, and in the first place, his physical body, which was one head taller than others, made those watching tremble in fear.
Despite the fact that they have a lower reputation than the previous two characters, those who faced the existence of the two in real life had no choice but to avoid their eyes without realizing it.
fall in love with them
McBurney and Henderson.
Both of them were so shabby.
McBurney may have been a great fighter once, but now his fluttering sleeves prove he has no arms.
one-armed examination. No explanation was needed.
I don’t know what kind of story McBurney had, but common sense judged that the one-armed McBurney was a little easier.
and Henderson.
In short, it was the weakest.
The basis for the judgment came from a rumor.
“Henderson representing Roman Dmitri? Could it be that Henderson is the Henderson of that Lawrence? Nonsense! As far as I know, Henderson is just an ordinary peasant who has never wielded a sword properly. I heard rumors that he trains hard while following Roman Dmitri, but how can a guy born as a peasant compete in a swordsmanship competition?”
of common people.
Also farmers.
People’s eyes turned to Henderson.
Even if he made great progress, he was a person who was markedly behind in the starting line.
Kevin, like Henderson, did not have a great background, but his impact in the battle of the Great Warrior was strong, so no one doubted his skills.
Henderson was different from Kevin.
A lot of people I knew from my farming days said that Henderson was nothing but a coward.
in the first test.
Henderson almost peed as he faced the bow.
Since he was the Henderson that people knew at that time, people argued that Henderson was the weakest.
Is that why?
on the day of the competition.
Those in Henderson’s group clenched their fists.
“Yes!”
“This is it!”
“Heaven help me!”
They were all sure.
Weakest Joe.
The winner here is yourself.
And that thought was not different from one article assigned to Henderson’s first round opponent.
* * *
“Round 1 of Group 5, Henderson and Taylor forward.”
Henderson and Taylor.
People’s eyes were focused.
People were naturally convinced of Taylor’s victory just by seeing him come up on stage.
‘Come from the beginning, a swordsman.’
‘It’s over.’
‘As Henderson, you can’t beat Taylor.’
Taylor.
He was a wandering swordsman from Lawrence.
Having lived in Lawrence for a while, he recognized Henderson’s face right away.
“long time no see.”
“… Mr. Taylor?”
“The last time we met was during the busy farming season, helping with the labor and taking care of ourselves for a while. At that time, you, who didn’t even look at the sword, appeared in front of me as a swordsman. Because I really don’t know what life is like. No matter how many things I go through while wandering the world, human life always gives me a new shock.”
Taylor laughed.
past relationship.
The relationship between the two was not bad.
Taylor said in a low voice, knowing that Henderson was a good man, so others couldn’t hear.
“Henderson. I’ll give you a chance to give up the contest even for the sake of my relationship with you. As you know, I had a special realization and reached the level of 2 stars. It means you’re not at the level you can deal with. I intend to prove myself and gain fame through this competition. To do that, I have to show a clear impact in every match, but I can’t stand it if you insist on facing me. We haven’t met for the first time, but we’ve met each other, so there’s no reason for one side to see blood in a pointless fight, right?”
This is not a hasty judgment.
1 year ago and today.
Time is limited.
No matter how fast he progressed, Taylor knew that Henderson would never reach his toes.
everyone in this room.
Everyone looked down on Henderson.
Henderson was the weakest in the world of the jungle, and everyone hoped to eat him and rise to the top.
“I see what you mean.”
chuck.
picked up the sword
Henderson looked at Taylor with a kind smile.
“I know how you remember me. So please, do your best. If you show me even a little bit of mercy, I won’t miss the opportunity to defeat you.”
sharp eyes.
It was different from before.
Taylor showed a surprised expression and raised his sword as if he couldn’t help it.
“I hope you won’t regret it.”
That moment.
flutter.
“start!”
The referee announced the start of the match.
* * *
A confrontation between a commoner and an Aura swordsman.
There are pictures that people have imagined.
I thought that Prosecutor Aura would push forward unilaterally, but what happened was completely different from what I expected.
sudden.
tadak.
The first attack was Henderson.
Henderson kicked off the ground quickly and attacked Taylor, who was still intent on probing.
Caang!
Kakakakang!
Sword and sword clashed.
Taylor showed a surprised look at the power that was stronger than expected, and Henderson attempted a follow-up attack following the first attack.
Like cogs that mesh perfectly. Henderson’s linking attack was so smooth.
No matter how the opponent blocked it, he immediately attacked the awkward part, and Taylor caught his breath at the attack that raged like a storm.
‘What is this?!’
It was unexpected.
Henderson’s swordsmanship.
You have a perfect system.
Since he was from a farmer, he thought he would imitate halfway, but Henderson’s linked attack had no loopholes.
‘The me of a year ago and the me of now are different.’
Pass the enlisted exam.
Henderson had a hell of a day every day.
Among those who passed Roman’s test, there were many talented people, and they were equipped with skills that were embarrassing to compare with Henderson from the beginning.
I was really surprised to see Kevin in particular.
Pure admiration came out when a boy one head smaller than himself pushed his opponent with truly overwhelming force.
behindhand.
I saw my own reality.
Henderson was too far behind the rest to solve everything with a single willpower.
‘After talking with Chris, I made up my mind to somehow become a person worthy of the lord. Certainly I’m not very gifted. Unlike other people who express an aura right away, I had a lot of trouble from the process of feeling mana to manifesting it. A being who always follows others at the far end. That’s who I am, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m improving.’
Henderson was a turtle.
slowly but surely.
slowly towards the right path.
Henderson built up his own efforts.
Taylor would remember herself from a year ago, but the swordsmanship she displayed now contained blood and sweat from that time.
tadak.
Kagaga River!
pushed hard
Sura sword method.
Taylor’s swordsmanship with 108 combat skills to respond to all situations did not deviate from the predictable range.
Feeling embarrassed at first. As time went by, it was stained with astonishment.
Henderson knew that the system of swordsmanship could not be ignored to think that he was simply continuing the momentum of the first attack.
People watching from afar.
They too were perplexed.
It wasn’t this.
At least Henderson had to show the level they were taking for granted.
hook!
Taylor struck back.
Henderson didn’t back down and let the attack slip to the side as if he had expected it.
Palak.
The wind blew.
If he had been hit by the attack, he would have been seriously injured, but Henderson’s gaze did not escape from Taylor.
‘I won’t collapse at this level.’
training in the past.
His opponent was Kevin Chris and Roman Dmitri.
Faced with monsters he had never experienced before, Henderson’s reaction speed exceeded the standards of ordinary people.
It is not denied that among those who still follow Roman, it is a talent that is lacking.
However, he worked tirelessly and proudly placed his name in the top 6 representing this tournament.
tadak.
I found a loophole.
In an instant.

Unleash a fake number to break Taylor’s stance and attack at an angle that the opponent can’t block.
‘finished.’
There was no way to stop it.
Taylor collapsed.
Stained with bewilderment, he gritted his teeth.
“What the fuck.”
Kwalung.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
manifestation of the aura.
In a situation that could not be avoided by common sense, Taylor showed power beyond common sense.
* * *
It was an instant judgment.
Taylor, who evaded the attack by exploding mana in both legs, blushed with unbearable emotions.
‘I didn’t want to use mana.’
The opponent is from a commoner.
An existence that has never felt mana.
I wanted to defeat Henderson purely with swordsmanship, but when I tried it, I knew it was impossible.
I couldn’t help it.
You can’t lose like this, can you?
Escaping the crisis with the explosion of his aura, he struck forward, manifesting an aura through his sword.
anger.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll finish it now!”
Come with 1 star.
The match was split.
Even if Henderson developed by leaps and bounds, there was no way to stop Aura.
however.
Qurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Henderson’s sword also showed the same aura.
Its power was not great.
Although he was still at a weak level, he, who was only a commoner, eventually reached the stage where he manifested an aura.
It didn’t make sense.
Taylor’s wide-eyed reaction showed just how erratic Henderson’s development was.
But the people gathered here didn’t know.
The fact that Henderson’s progress is not as rapid as the others.
Those who started accepting mana through Sura Simbeop succeeded in manifesting aura one by one, starting with those with basic skills such as Volkan and Pookie.
yet.
Henderson’s aura was weak.
Henderson was well aware of that fact and deliberately missed the opponent’s aura and parried the attack.
Pak-
both arms bounced off.
A defenseless Taylor.
In an unexpected turn of events, Henderson recalled what Chris had said the day before the competition.
“Henderson. When you came to me to give up everything, you were just a weak human being. It was the kind of person who gave up without even trying properly, and if you had put everything down then, your life wouldn’t have changed. Not just as an inspector. No matter what trials you face, you will always be just a loser. last month. You showed a win rate equivalent to the top 6. Unlike other overwhelming players, you struggled every time, but when others accepted defeat, you somehow dreamed of one more victory. This is the result.”
laughed
Chris looked at Henderson warmly.
“You are a person who is qualified to represent the lord. I guarantee that fact.”
And now.
Henderson believed in himself.
I still don’t think I’m great, but apart from that, I didn’t doubt my victory.
The times when I tried hard.
The existence of a commoner gradually changed.
People still remember him as a commoner, but Henderson experienced a world that others couldn’t imagine.
Whether Taylor strikes back.
Whether Taylor avoids it.
Or block it with a sword.
All circumstances were within the experience.
Taylor raised his sword to block it, but Henderson bumped into his body and broke the opponent’s stance.
And then.
chuck.
He put the sword to his neck.
Taylor acknowledged the reality with a pale face as the match was over.
“… I lost.”
Group 5 Round 1.
The result was different from everyone’s expectations.
Henderson’s victory.
People who laughed and chatted and watched were at a loss for words at the shocking results.
