Love Letter From The Future - Love Letter From The Future chapter 779
779 – 9. There is not a single day when this does not happen (29)
‘Cheongeomsan (天劍山)’ is visited by those who have cut off ties with the world.
There have always been those who wanted to enter the ‘sword circle’ located on this mysterious mountain. They were tested according to a strict entrance procedure, and only those who passed this would receive the test of a true practitioner.
Yes, that was generally the case.
Until a man came here.
One day, a sudden explosion shook the mountain.
Boom!
It was violence without any foreshadowing. A typhoon erupted out of nowhere, shaking the entire mountain and field, and the wreckage of the shattered gate scattered in all directions.
A truly unrealistic sight.
The gazes of the practitioners who were doing their part on the mountainside became stupid. Among them was a young woman.
It’s been about 10 years since I entered Cheongeomsan Mountain.
He left this world before he even became an adult. Although his absolute age is young, the years he spent in ‘Sword Circle’ were not light. Recently, he has been considered a strong candidate to become the next teacher.
So, I thought I had already become accustomed to living at Cheongeomsan Mountain.
A gust of wind that I had never seen before was coming.
“Who are you…” Huh huh?!”
“Evil!”
“Ugh!”
Senior members of ‘Sword Circle’ sensed an abnormal situation and ran out one by one.
And then gets thrown away.
It was like a fallen leaf in the wind. From the vague sense of presence, only one attack and defense is needed until the unknown intruder defeats one person.
Knife cuts at a time, exactly one person at a time.
The brain refused to understand reality. All of the alumni who are currently falling were talented individuals who were recognized in the ‘Sword Circle’ as well.
This meant that they were not characters worthy of being meaninglessly destroyed like this.
But whether the woman acknowledged the fact or not, the core of the storm was gradually approaching. Screams and the sharp noise of swords being pulled out one by one mingled in my ears.
What should I do, should I draw my sword too?
When she was young, she climbed Mt. Cheongeomsan, so her practical experience as a woman was limited. Her common sense told her that she had never faced a life-or-death situation in a mysterious sect in the mountains.
In that moment of hesitation.
“Ahh!”
Two shadows clashed in the dust. The person who bounced off was one of the practitioners wearing a gi, so the shadow in front of them must have been the beast that attacked Cheongeomsan Mountain.
The criminal’s gestures were nothing short of neat.
He twists his body to avoid a blow coming at him at high speed, and kicks the shin of the approaching opponent.
The muscle strength itself was abnormal. The practitioner’s body, kicked by his foot, spun around in the air, and his kick exploded once again into the chest.
After that, I had no choice but to scream and lie down.
The woman’s body trembled as she faced death for the first time. She gritted her teeth, and even though she was holding her sword, her arm didn’t work properly.
Even though it is a posture she has repeated hundreds of millions of times over the past 10 years.
Right then.
“…… Hey.”
It was the first greeting given by the man who walked through the dust.
The woman’s eyes widened as she faced that figure.
Looking at her skills, she thought she must have been a hard worker, but the man who actually appeared in front of her was younger than she imagined. A handsome man with impressive dark blue hair and deep blue eyes.
He had a sturdy body and had an expression that seemed bothersome to anyone who saw him. Despite creating such a tragedy, the fact that he did not even shed a drop of sweat gave us an idea of his fearsome skills.
The height difference between the two men and women facing each other is quite large.
The man had to bow his head slightly to address her. The woman’s body, facing that face right in front of her, suddenly stiffened, just before she took a step back.
“Where is Heavenly Sword Mountain?”
The airflow in the area stopped.
The woman, the audience members who were watching the two people holding their breath, and the victims who were lying down and moaning.
She held her breath and looked at her man. In reality, the culprit just scratched her head in frustration.
“I said I would ask for directions, but they just recklessly rushed at me… “Are you guys bandits?”
“Well, that…” ….”
Despite the outrageous slander, the woman’s lips did not open easily. I was embarrassed, dumbfounded, and absurd.
Are you saying we got into this mess just because of a misunderstanding?
But her man’s expression was calm. As if he didn’t tell any lies.
No, her face was such that she didn’t even know why she had to lie in the first place. He had the airs of an overwhelmingly strong man who had lived his entire life without paying attention.
Even as the woman stuttered, her man added to her misunderstanding as he pleased.
“It’s difficult… For the sake of the empire’s subjects, we can’t just ignore the bandits…….”
“Sir, I’m not a bandit!”
It was an answer made out of frustration.
A somewhat new voice, the face of a man of the same age that I saw up close for the first time in my life, and even the current situation that I couldn’t understand.
Due to various factors, the woman’s face became hot as if she would explode at any moment.
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly and his eyes deepened slightly.
“This is Heavenly Sword Mountain!”
She hummed, and the man stroked her chin as she swallowed her sleep.
After rummaging through her arms, she quickly took out a map and unfolded it. She was a magic map that seemed expensive at first glance.
“Of course, they say this place is Heavenly Sword Mountain… ….”
“That’s right!”
“So these guys are the ‘Sword Circle’?”
He glanced at the scattered trainees and asked a question in a dejected voice.
It was a tone of deep disappointment. No matter what anyone says, the victim was the ‘Sword Circle’ side.
But why?
The man had a strange magical nature. It’s as if he should be like that, and if he’s not satisfied, it feels like he’s made a mistake, and that makes me nervous.
That was the reason why the woman hesitated due to her broken spirit.
“Ho, if you have come to ‘Sword Circle’… Please tell us your name and the purpose of your visit…….”
“Me?”
Only then did the man straighten his bent back. He scratched his cheek as if he was thinking for a while.

“My name is ‘Jian’… The purpose of my coming…….”
Grumbling.
The man suddenly took out his sword from her sheath. It was a dazzlingly beautiful pure white sword.
Do you think we should at least fight like this? With the very nervous woman in front of him, the man confessed.
“No Aurors appear.”
The reason she had no choice but to come to her remote mountain.
“…… “Since my brother died.”
That was her first meeting.

“Isn’t that crazy?”
This was a feeling that came to mind immediately after listening to the Great Master’s story.
It was not an expression suitable for a senior member of the imperial family, but it was an act that forced him to make such a statement in the moment. Cheongeomsan Mountain, with its long history and tradition, was suddenly wiped out.
Once again, I thought that the swordsmanship of that time was amazing.
Doesn’t this mean that he immediately defeated the practitioners of the ‘Sword Circle’ without even an Auror? It meant that the criminal had a talent that was difficult to judge.
The old woman immediately burst into laughter at my reaction.
“hahahahaha! Jian was so fearless back then… Also, it was a turbulent time in its own way.”
“I am still fearless.”
The old woman smiled brightly at my retort. As if he knew it would happen.
“From what I heard, he came to the ‘Sword Circle’ after receiving advice from the ‘Great Sage.’ “Maybe we can solve the problem here.”
“Great Sage… “You mean?”
It was the second name I heard this morning. Shien’s teacher and benefactor. He was a master of the former empire, so it was not strange to say that he had ties to swordsmanship.
No, it would be even weirder if I said it didn’t exist.
The relationship between the two seemed to be better than I expected.
“Yeah, that guy was probably the only one who paid attention. “He said he was like a teacher.”
“Elder Geomgong? “You said you had a wizard as your teacher?”
“So, he must be a ‘great sage.’ “He was a person who was said to know nothing in the world.”
This was my first time hearing this.
The reputation of the ‘Great Sage’ was high throughout the continent, but not much information was known other than his title.
At most, the fact that he is a long-time advisor to the imperial family, and that he occasionally wanders around the continent while hiding his identity?
I never would have guessed that he was a person so well-versed in swordsmanship that the swordsman called him his teacher.
While I was lost in idle thoughts, the old woman got to the point.
“You look like that man.”
“Are you saying this out of the blue?”
“Isn’t that what you always said? And as you know, Jian eventually overcame his problems.”
That was the end.
As if it was time to end the conversation, the old woman walked slowly and tapped my shoulder.
“As expected, they look alike… What he does, how strong he is… And even that problem.”
I didn’t ask what he was talking about.
If I had been planning to tell you anyway, I would have told you long ago, because sometimes on the path to learning, there are parts you have to realize on your own.
After I was left alone, I pulled out my sword. It’s been so long, I was wondering if I’d forgotten how to use magic power.
“…… Under.”
The auror was still silver.
I was still wandering along the road.

That night, I decided to visit her sister.
And I saw it.
With his back turned, his head was tilted back with a crackling sound, and his golden eyes were looking at me.
The structure was normal only when the cervical spine was bent.
“…… Hi oppa.”
I felt it as soon as I heard that voice.
It’s behind the bars, it smells like my sister, and although every physiological basis screams that the girl in front of her is Leah.
My brain had a hunch.
My sister can’t make such a creepy smile.
“What did you do to my sister?”
“What are you doing…?” I’m not sure? Somehow my consciousness was transferred, hehehe… “Usually the fake is attracted to the real, but there are times like this.”
At the same time, the head, which had returned to its original position, rotated 180 degrees. My eyebrows narrow at the bizarre sight.
“When do you plan on coming?”
“Soon.”
The monster disguised as my sister said that with a smile.
“I want to see my brother as soon as possible.”
Evil is coming.
