A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy - Chapter 525
Crisis (2)
Cheonma, the conditions for Seolhwa are as follows.
I will not use any magical powers, including the power of purple.
You will fight me using only pure martial arts and your natural physical abilities.
I don’t know about anything else, but the part about not using magic power bothered me a little.
No matter what, I feel like saying that I don’t use magic at all is treating me like water.
Even Lord and Lize used magic whenever they faced me. My physical abilities were of an exceptionally high level.
‘There must be a reason for that.’
However, I have no intention of rushing in recklessly. As I mentioned again, Cheonma is a purple being.
It is far beyond what humans can dare to understand, and there must be something I don’t know.
I went through all the preparations and faced Sulwha with confidence. While I was preparing, she just watched.
“Is that your weapon?”
Seolhwa asked, pointing to the weapon in my hand. Currently, I am holding a hatchet in my hand.
My original weapon, Mjolnir, was kidnapped and I wasn’t able to get it back. So I borrowed this weapon.
Since it was Cheonma’s personal training center, there were various weapons, so if it broke, I planned to get something else.
“Yes. Seolhwa-nim······”
I looked at Seol-hwa’s appearance. Her hands were empty, literally empty.
Is she a fighter like Rize? It’s ambiguous because she hasn’t shown a clear style in Soul World.
Just as an elephant only needs its feet to step on an ant, a Heavenly Horse would not need a weapon unless it was of the same color, purple.
“I am proficient in all weapons. Tell me what you want. If you want a sword, I will give you a sword. If you want a spear, I will give you a spear.”
“No, it’s okay.”
I’m not good at digging just one well like other people. To be exact, I don’t know my talent.
He may be good at fighting, but he only knows how to use weapons. It’s not for nothing that Lord teaches me psychological warfare.
Well, if you look closely, Lord earned the title of Sword Master because he was a master of psychological warfare rather than because of his depth in swordsmanship itself.
‘Even when I saw him fighting against lies, I felt a strong sense of force.’
The fight between the purples was a disaster in itself, but I managed to follow it with my eyes.
Every time, Seolhwa pushed the lie with force. There is no sign of technique.
Of course, the power is so strong that it can shatter space and even expose outer space.
I am looking forward to using only technique and not using that power. I opened my mouth after making thorough preparations.
“I’m ready.”
“Come in.”
-Paang!
As soon as Seol-hwa’s mouth fell open, he rushed in without hesitation. With a burst of air, Seol-hwa’s face came closer in an instant.
It’s not that I didn’t train at all during that time. Rather, it’s safe to say that I barely had a moment to show off my strength.
Then you might ask, what is the fight with the Weilong, but in reality it was closer to a game than a fight.
Will Wei Long kill his pride and cut off his beard or will he just keep it? I won that game.
So the real fight is now. Let me show my power and strike Seolhwa with a blow.
-Whew!
The axe held in his right hand crashed into Seolhwa’s small shoulder. If this continued, her body would be split apart from her shoulder.
However, Seolhwa did not take any action until the axe’s blade touched her. Rather, she questioned it when she saw it.
-Swoosh
Seolhwa’s right hand approached the axe blade. It was fast, even though she clearly wasn’t using any magic power.
As I opened my eyes slightly to see that, she gently pushed the side of the axe away with her hand.
-Wow!
I must have pushed with a little force, but it went completely off the direction I wanted.
An axe that cuts outside the shoulder instead of at the shoulder. This means it missed.
It wasn’t even a strong force. It was literally just a slap!
“It looks like you didn’t use enough force. It doesn’t seem to be stuck in the ground.”
“··· ···”
“I can be sure of this, no matter what you do, I will not back down.”
“Is that true?”
“I told you. If you even brush my collar······”
-Whew!
I swung my axe before Seolhwa could even open her mouth. I waited for her to let her guard down.
But as if he had already figured out what I was going to do, he took a couple of steps back and dodged lightly.
Since she started first, it wouldn’t matter if I went strong. With that thought in mind, I charged forward with all my might.
“You’re cruel. I like that about you.”
As I continued to attack, Seolhwa responded gently, even speaking.
Even when she mixed in some irregular attacks that were close to variables here and there, she dodged or deflected them all as if she had anticipated them all.
Up to this point, it’s within the category of understandable enough. Lord and Lize have done this to this extent too.
There must be something unique to Seolhwa. Most people with skills higher than Nam Saek have their own unique characteristics.
In the case of Lord, it was closer to, “If you don’t know, then you have to do it right?”, and in the case of Reese, it was closer to, “What if you know?”. Both of them have their own individuality.
So what is the story? What personality does her teaching or fighting style have?
He lived much longer than the two people mentioned above, so there must be something about him that sets him apart.
-Whoaaah!
The axe came crashing down horizontally, as if it would split Seol-hwa’s waist. She was currently facing the wall.
You can’t dodge left or right, and the only place to dodge is upward. It would be difficult to escape with physical ability.
It was around the time when the axe blade reached the end of Seolhwa’s waist that her appearance became slightly blurred.
-Kwakwakwakwa!
As expected, my axe only cut through the poor wall.
The aftermath sent debris flying and some dust flying. And the snow…
“It’s like looking at my past. There was a time when I relied only on my strength and ran wild.”
“··· ···”
I was standing on the surface of a tiny hatchet. I was dumbfounded by the unbelievable situation.
Neither Lord nor Lize could commit such acts. They only avoided, blocked, or took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack.
I knew there would be an overwhelming difference in skill, but I never imagined it would be this much.
No, before that, I wondered, how? Who would have thought that someone would climb on top of an axe in this circus or something?
“The more you dig into martial arts, the more interesting it becomes. Especially, the fact that it all comes down to one thing in the end is also interesting.”
“··· ···”
“The fact that you fight with such strength is also a type of martial arts. However, it only ends in one.”
-Thump
Seol-hwa came down from the axe with light movements. Her movements were reminiscent of those of a fairy.
A being who has lived for a long time and has seen the peak of all martial arts. A martial arts god that even Lord and Lize cannot approach.
She approached me slowly and lightly grabbed the axe between her index finger and thumb. She literally grabbed it lightly.
“That’s the center.”
“······center?”
“Yes. Center. For example······”
-Whew
Seol-hwa, who was holding the axe blade, lightly turned her wrist. She literally turned it lightly.
But apart from the light return, the axe turned rapidly, and as it turned, my arm also naturally broke.
“Ugh?!”
Since my arm was broken, my body had no choice but to turn half a turn. What does this mean?
It means that I fell down badly. I was dumbfounded by the world that had turned upside down in an instant.
When I looked up, I could see the ground, and when I looked down, I could see Seol-hwa’s face upside down.
‘······What happened to me?’
I feel like I have my eyes open and my nose cut off. But even those words are not enough.
I cut my nose, but I don’t know how I did it. What would Lize do if she knew? It’s completely different.
While I was standing there dumbfounded, Seolhwa brought her face close to me.
Her long hair fell like a curtain as she was looking down from above.
“If you completely destroy the center like this, it’s not a big deal to turn a person over. On the contrary, if you hold onto the center, you can become a giant tree that can withstand anything.”
“··· ···”
“If you don’t understand, it’s like standing up eggs vertically. Not one, but many.”
You’re the only one who could do something like that. I laughed out loud and got up from my seat.
I feel a little dizzy because my head and body are spinning, but it’s okay. I’ve only fallen once so far.
“I will keep going.”
“Come.”
-Kudang!
Fall down.
-Kudangtang!
Falling again.
-Bam! Bam!
Even if I fall down again.
I didn’t give up and ran towards Seolhwa. I was confident in my physical strength.
Seolhwa also started to show off her skills little by little as she felt that I was getting tired of her constant attacks.
-puck!
“Ugh!?”
Seolhwa’s palm hit my forehead exactly. I opened my eyes wide at the impact.
It’s not just a pain from being hit in a vital spot. It’s more like a feeling like your soul is being torn apart.
It felt even more painful because it was an attack that easily ignored my defense. This is what Myeongjongse is like.
-Bam! Bam!
My body rolled around. It soon hit the wall.
Rolling and hitting the wall itself didn’t hurt that much. It was just getting hit by the Mingjongse that hurt.
I frowned and touched my forehead. But I didn’t forget to get up from my seat.
“Hmm. How long do you plan on doing this? It’s about time you gave up.”
Seolhwa asked questioningly, wondering if I didn’t understand her. After all, this was the first time she’d seen such a stubborn person.
I stood up and handed the hatchet to Seolhwa. This hatchet is slowly falling apart.
Then, he looked at Seol-hwa, who was looking puzzled, and spoke confidently.
“Break it. If you want me.”
“··· ···”
“You want me too.”
Did you really get what he said?
Seolhwa made a bewildered expression that she had never seen before.
But that expression soon changed into a deep smile.
“Really······”
I realized.
“This is what it feels like to be cute.”
That it gave Seolhwa new emotions.
‘······Please save me.’
I guess I said that in vain.
