Episode 273
Concentration training at Mt. Bukmang all night. Strength training at dawn. One-on-one sparring in the morning.
The Gwangpungdan, who spent 24 hours a day only training, collapsed as soon as evening came.
“Uuuh…”
“The Lord is dying. Everyone will die like this…”
“Turn it off!”
“Ah, the pain doesn’t go away…”
“How come the place I hit during the day still hurts.”
Gwangpungdan couldn’t wake up with their heads buried in the sand of the gymnasium. Only the faint sound of breathing signaled their survival.
Raon smiled with satisfaction as he looked around the Gwangpungdan.
‘It’s fine.’
It must have been etched right into my brain.
Thanks to the ring of fire, the strengths and weaknesses of the swordsmen could be grasped at a glance. I will never forget it because he sparred and hit me directly to find out what my weak point was.
“Good job everyone. From tomorrow, train according to the commander-in-chief’s instructions.”
Since he has filled up the training of concentration and lack of martial arts, he will be able to do well even if he leaves it to Do-goe.
“Raon. Not very well.”
Runaan barely lifted his head. He pouted with his eyes more fierce than usual. Come to think of it, it was the first time I was complaining.
“huh. I know.”
In fact, he was not very interested in his appearance, so he readily nodded.
“I hate you…”
Runan finally slammed his face into the sand.
“I’d rather kill the car. You crazy bastard.”
Martha lay on her back and closed her eyes. Even she, who has a bad temper, seemed to be fed up with 24-hour training.
“I can’t do it anymore. I don’t even have the strength to lift a finger. omg!”
Having lost her strength and slipping her words, she opened her eyes wide.
“Then can you wiggle your toes?”
“Don’t do that!”
Martha raised her head and screamed.
“Looks like you have the strength to snap your neck instead of your fingers and toes.”
“Ugh…”
She turned her head away, gnashing her teeth indignantly.
“Did you guys really endure this for a week?”
Burren, who had held out until the end, sat down on the floor with a pale complexion.
“I’m out of my mind. You and that idiot are all crazy!”
He shouted at Raon, who, until 24 hours ago, that he was a benefactor for the rest of his life, saying that he was an asshole.
“Even the life saver is short.”
“I am sick! Where can you really do all of this!”
“Doesn’t the patient die if he gets stabbed with a knife?”
“uh?”
“If you train properly, you won’t fall into that kind of situation again.”
“No, this time it’s not because I’m weak, Gelmere attacks from behind…”
“Enough.”
Raon cut off Burren’s words and waved his hand.
“Because you are a week behind. I’m getting ready to catch up. As soon as my discipline is over, I will start training separately.”
“Oops!”
Burren’s eyes fluttered as if hit by a wave.
“…why do you miss being kidnapped?”
He looked up at the sky with sad eyes and collapsed.
“See you all in a week. If there is no change when I come, you better be prepared.”
Raon waved his hand with an expectant smile.
“Kreureung!”
“Oh, the devil. It must be the devil…”
“Fu Danzhu has no feelings! The human mind is already worn out!”
“Kreurreu…”
The collapsed Gwangpungdan covered their ears and trembled all over. There were also those who made animal noises.
“Then, please start tomorrow.”
Raon approached Dohee who was on the podium and lowered his head.
“Do you guys want to kill them?”
Do-goe let out a fuss as if he was fed up.
“It can’t be. I did just as much as I could.”
It’s not a lie. He used the ring of fire to check the physical strength and aura of the entire Gwangpungdan, and then pulled out their strength to the limit.
It will be hard enough to die for, but you can do it anyway.
“Is that so…”
He nodded his head shyly as he looked at Gwangpungdan, who couldn’t even move.
“I will go.”
It was when Raon said goodbye and was about to leave.
Kwaaang!
The gymnasium door slammed open violently. There was only one person who came in that way.
“Where have you been so far? Even Danju-nim has training to do…”
Raon stopped to meet Limer as he went out to meet him.
‘Why is this person again…’
He’s like a beggar, right?
Rimmer’s red hair was burnt black, his clothes were torn, and there were blue bruises here and there. It looked like he had been hit by someone and rolled on the floor.
“Kureu…”
As soon as Rimmer saw this side, his hands trembled and he gnashed his teeth like a beast.
“Are you gambling again?”
“Kleurrureung!”
As soon as he spoke, Rimer’s voice deepened.
-Do you have a knack for raising animals?
Lars looked at Rimmer and tilted his head.
-Why do all of you become crazy dogs when you meet me?
Raon shrugged as he watched Rimer gritting his teeth.
‘I don’t know.’
-You’re a real devil…
* * *
That night.
The law enforcement department tried to stop the rumors about the clash between the Gwangpungdan and the Jeonmadan, but the rumors were so easily blocked.
Even if the details of the situation were not resolved, the news that the Gwangpungdan and the Electric Horse Troupe collided spread throughout Sieghart within a day.
The old tavern in the back alley where Rimmer frequented was also abuzz with the story.
“Isn’t the winner decided between the electric troupe and the mad wind troupe?”
“The war troopers must have won unconditionally.”
“okay. experience is different. If the Gwangpungdan is a cat, the Jeonmadan is a tiger!”
“It’s not just the members, but the battle between the members is obvious. I don’t know if it’s Rimer. Raon is not good enough for Gelmere yet.”
“You don’t even have to see the results.”
The people at the tavern naturally predicted the victory of the Jeonmadan, who completed more missions and accumulated martial arts for a long time.
“The Gwangpungdan defeated the electric troupe!”
However, an hour later, the result of the prosecutor who came running from the main building, the whole bar was tinged with astonishment.
“You said you won? Gwangpungdan?”
“Does that make sense? Gwangpungdan was just created! The electric troupe is a traditional troupe!”
“Oh my God…”
“How the hell did you win? Aren’t you using dirty moves?”
“That’s not it. I checked with the law enforcement department, and they said it was all a sword-to-sword fight.”
“I heard that the name Gwangpungdan is heard the most these days, and there was a reason. It’s already that much power…”
When people heard that Gwangpungdan had won, they only drank beer as if in awe.
“Then, how did the sophomores’ confrontation go?”
“that’s right! There must have been a battle between Raon and Gelmere.”
“No, why did everyone leave and fight?”
“Of course there is news about the battle between Raon and Gelmere. First of all, the two faced each other in the basement of Jungmujeon. As for why we fought in the basement… Ah, I’m thirsty because I ran.”
The red-haired man who asked for more information rubbed his throat and cleared his throat.
“That cutting technique!”
“no! That’s magic! owner! beer!”
“What is a cup! Bring me a bucket!”
“Order all the side dishes on the menu!”
“I have a lot of money! I’ll give you money! Spit it out quickly!”
“Join me! Join us before feeding Nadine bread!”
People at the tavern randomly threw money in front of the man and shouted for more information. Some offered to feed Lars his most hated, rubbery, nadine bread.
“Ah wait.”
The red-haired man lowered his hand and restrained everyone.
“I will tell you one by one. First of all, this is the 3rd leader of Gwangpungdan, Beren.”
“Burren? Suddenly, why did Burren…”
“Actually, Gelmere, the lord of the electric troupe, kidnapped his younger brother, Berren…”
The man recited the reason for the fight between the Gwangpungdan and the electric troupe as if he were there in person.
“her! Kidnapping your younger brother isn’t enough, brainwashing you?”
“They are bastards! You very fucking bastards!”
“Anyway, those heavy fighters are only strong. Because humans ate it up!”
“On the other hand, Gwangpungdan is amazing. Attacking the heavy radio station to save a colleague…”
“I thought they were kids, but I’ll have to see them again.”
“Gwangpungdan! Mad Wind!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon!”
The people at the tavern heard the story that Gwangpungdan fought against the electric troupe to save Burren, and they were moved and shouted the names of Raon and Gwangpungdan.
“Now, the last and highlight. It’s a battle between Gelmere, the lord of electric power, and Raon, the lord of the lord of light and wind. A battle between masters and intermediates. However, contrary to what you all think, it was Raon who led the fight. Every time swords collide with each other…”
The red-haired man nodded his head in satisfaction as he looked at the people who were cursing heavy military battles and told them about the last battle.
In particular, Raon constantly praised him, saying that he overpowered Gelmere, the master of stabbing, with stabbing.
“I overpowered you with a stab?
“You’re crazy…”
“I never thought I’d say this to a kid under the age of 20, but it’s really cool. The person himself is cool.”
“Isn’t it amazing? How could the lower class overpower the middle class and even cut off their arms?”
“You once defeated an apostle when you were an expert.”
“At this point, it’s not Muhak, it’s Raon who is strong.”
“I don’t know! From now on, I will support Gwangpungdan and Seolhwa Swordsman!”
“Raon! Raon! Raon! Raon!”
The red-haired man spoke so well, and the result was as cool as beer, so everyone in the bar once again shouted Raon’s name and nickname and burst into cheers.
“Hmm.”
The red-haired man looked at the people at the bar talking, then emptied his beer glass and left the bar.
Jjiik!
When he raised his hand to his face and lowered it, the usual middle-aged man’s face disappeared and Rimmer’s smirk appeared.
“Raon. Be grateful. You betrayed me, but I only spread good rumors.”
Rimer patted his chest proudly.
“This must be the true teacher.”
His eyes, which smiled and nodded, turned to the cloth in his right hand.
“Hmm. Once…”
Rimmer cleared his throat and opened the wrapping cloth.
As soon as he saw the gold and silver glittering coins, his eyes widened like rotten eggs.
“How much is all this? After all, our Raon is Jaeshin!”
He closed his wrapping cloth tightly and raised his arms toward the sky.
“Thanks to you, I live!”
Quarreureung!
“Huh!”
Suddenly, thunder rang in the dry sky, and Rimer jumped in fright.
“How are you?”
He looked around, wiping his hands together like flies, then sighed in relief that he was gone. He just noticed and disappeared into the back alley.
“Isn’t it really?”
* * *
Raon returned to the room in the annex. Since probation at Sieghart is similar to suspension, he cannot serve as a substitute for sobriety. I had no choice but to wait at home.
‘Rather, it went well.’
In the meantime, he had been neglecting his own training while developing the strength and concentration of the Gwangpungdan, but it was an opportunity to make up for it.
‘Because after a week, if it’s lower than expected, I can roll more.’
Now that I realized how to roll properly, I was confident in dealing with Gwangpungdan swordsmen.
-You mean you can roll more there?
Lars furrowed his brow in horror.
‘Even a dry mop has some moisture in it.’
– Huh!
The boy widened his eyes and groaned.
-Raon Sieghart! No matter how you think about it, your being here is a waste of talent! To the demon realm with the main king…
‘I’m not going to live.’
Raon shook his hand at Lars, who clung to him, and sat down on the floor. I closed my eyes while enjoying the moonlight shining through the window.
‘The things I have to do are decided.’
ring of fire. Through many battles and training, it was time to open a new path to the Ring of Fire, which reached the peak of 6 stars.
I don’t know if it’s possible within a week, but if I can achieve it, I’ll be able to proceed with the training of Gwangpungdan more efficiently as well as my skills.
“Huuuuuuu…”
He slowly calmed his breathing and operated the ring of fire. The six rings around the heart collided countless times like glass marbles in a barrel, creating a clear resonance.
‘You mean I have to mold a new ring while avoiding this?’
Laughter came out.
I had a hard time while avoiding five rings, but now I’m already nervous because I have to make the seventh ring while avoiding six rings.
‘I’ll have to try it though.’
A new ring of fire was formed by avoiding the six rings that rotated arbitrarily without a fixed trajectory.
When I was making a weak piece to say it was a ring, the fifth ring approached and struck me in the side.
kyaang!
With a cool sound, the ring I had been making so far was broken in an instant.
“Tsk.”
The first attempt ended without going far. I clicked my tongue in regret.
-What are you doing again?
Lars frowned as if he didn’t like it.
-Don’t be silly, let’s go eat.
‘It’s been less than an hour since we had dinner.’
-What are you talking about? I usually eat wrong, so I have to eat it at this time. You’re growing up, so make sure you eat two more meals between now and midnight.
He liked that he could eat the rice in the annex instead of the tasteless meal at the gymnasium, so he was talking nonsense about having breakfast less than an hour after he ate dinner.
‘I’m busy right now.’
Raon pushed Lars away with the back of his hand and used the ring of fire again.
When the new ring stretched to the size of a finger, it collided with the third ring, which rushed like a wild boar, and melted like snow.
‘It’s hard.’
As expected, it was not an easy task.
‘Damn it…’
-If you don’t like rice, let’s get some snacks. What remains is to eat.
Every time Lars opened his eyes, he ran and insisted on putting something in his mouth.
is this the devil?
I wanted to go and find out who made this guy the demon of rage. If < Wrath > was like this, I couldn’t imagine what < Gluttony > would be like.
Chiying!
Raon ignored Lars, who called him Bob, and operated the ring of fire again.
“Whoa…”
I cleared my mind as I exhaled from the depths of my lungs. I blocked my five senses, including sight and hearing, and corrected my posture.
‘There’s no point in making it clumsy.’
Even if you do it just once, be sure to focus on it.
Thinking that this was his last chance, he collected mana.
You created the seventh ring with maximum concentration.
Like a fingernail growing, I sculpted a new ring so slowly that I couldn’t feel it.
As if putting together a puzzle, I gradually increased the number of rings and discarded the thoughts and worries that popped into my head.
Gwangpungdan’s training, Limer’s recovery, Jungmujeon’s scheme, and the return of Sylvia’s direct line deep in her heart and her revenge on Derus Robert were even emptied.
I think it’s a ring of fire.
Chiyiing!
The moment all the nerves were focused on the ring of fire, the speed of the six rings around the heart seemed to slow down several times, accompanied by a resonant sound that seemed to resonate throughout the spine.
It was a realm of super-high masters who achieved extreme concentration.
Was it because he gave Gwangpungdan concentration training? My concentration also seemed to increase.
The third ring rushes at the new one like a raging wave. With the trick of the quick sword, I quickly turned the ring and avoided it.
The sixth ring approaches, spiraling like a storm. With the skill of the sword, the river flowed as if it were grazed.
Laughter ensues.
Thanks to his colleagues for training, his concentration increased, and it felt strange to avoid another ring through the swordsmanship he learned.
Manchurian species. It is said that several water streams reach the end and eventually become one, but I did not know that I would actually feel the words.
As I concentrated on avoiding the six rings, before I knew it, the end to end of the new ring started to face me.
‘It’s real from now on.’
The longer the new ring, the stronger the threat from the other rings. He concentrated his mind to the point where he could feel the grains of mana absorbed by his breath.
Chiying!
As if interfering, the six rings came together and turned like sawtooth, aiming at the seventh ring. He was busy avoiding the formation of a ring, let alone forming it.
Concentrating his mind to the limit, he managed to lengthen it by an inch. It felt like my breathing holes were clogged with tension.
As I neared the completion of the seventh loop, even my heartbeat became painful.
‘This is impossible.’
Only the final shape remained, but it was close to impossible to complete with the six rings intersecting as if they were interfering.
I had to aim for the moment when the six rings moved in the same direction.
Woo woo.
Raon sighed calmly. Being patient is something I was confident about from my previous life. I could have waited as long as I could.
Time flies.
Time flowed down like a cold sweat dripping from my forehead.
how many hours. Not a few days or a month. I had no idea how much time had passed. I forgot everything and just waited.
The concentration that I thought I had squeezed to the limit goes up a notch.
The flow of the resonating six rings and subsequent movements are drawn like a blueprint.
I swallowed dry saliva and waited for the right time. Just like an eclipse when the moon blocks the sun, that moment when the six rings move in the same way.
Chiying!
Loops and loops overlapped and twisted to become a single loop.
The time that divided the moment of the moment. It was his only chance to form the seventh loop. He chewed his lips and filled the last part of the seventh loop.
Wow!
A golden bolt of lightning struck in my brain with a pulsation as if the two lines of soul and body were connected as one.
