The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman - The Bastard’s Way of Life of the Returning Swordsman chapter 72

Episode 72

Iljimae (一枝梅) (2)

Theo’s eyes widened.

‘Did you notice the hatchling synchro?’

No, looking at it, it didn’t seem like that.

However, since he seemed to know the cause of the severe headache he was experiencing, he pretended not to know.

“What is the brain gate?”

“Yes? You don’t even know what the brain gate is, but you opened it?”

“Yes. I do not know.”

“her! How is this possible?”

“… … ?”

“I’ve heard that many of the beings called ‘genius’ are born with an open brain gate, but is that why? But it doesn’t seem like it’s been open for that long… … How could you not know?”

“I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me.”

Trainer stroked his chin with his hand and cleared his mind before speaking.

“Well. To put it simply, it can be said that the area of the brain has been greatly expanded, or the function of the brain has been greatly improved.”

“… … !”

“As expected, I must have guessed something.”

“Captain, are you saying that Theo has crossed the ‘wall’?”

At that time, Evelyn interrupted and asked.

‘Wall’ refers to the line that separates the boundary between ordinary people and superhumans.

A state that anyone who wields a sword wishes to overcome.

However, it usually ends in utopia because it fails.

Even in Ragnar, only a few people, including the 9 dragons, crossed this ‘wall’.

Likewise, Evelyn couldn’t jump over.

However, since Evelyn was facing the ‘wall’, she had a vague idea of what was beyond it.

It was not the realm of the common people.

You can observe the world from a completely different perspective (視點, human perspective),

I was able to experience myself from another point of view (時點, perspective of time).

Incidentally,

The brain, which is called the ＜mystery＞ of the human body, was deeply involved.

Apparently, the ‘brain gate’ that Trainer said meant the door to that area of the brain.

“Could that be? Even the black iron captain showed the miracle of crossing the wall at the age of 20, but 15 is too early. Even more so, a trainee swordsman who has just gone through the flowering ceremony.”

Trainer shook his head.

“then… … ?”

“It’s just out of order.”

It was only then that Evelyn realized something.

“Ordinary people only open their brain gates after crossing the wall, but Theo was born with an open brain gate.”

“It’s similar. Usually such people are born with qualities that are outstanding enough to be called geniuses. I can say the black iron captain as a representative. I heard that friend did that too when he was little.”

“Then it would be much easier for them to cross the wall.”

“I can’t just say that comfortably.”

“… … ?”

“Usually, people whose brain gates are open by nature have such a reaction.”

The brain gate is opened clumsily, so the thinking system is different from that of ordinary people, or the body is out of balance and the body is abnormally weak.

Rather, Trainer explained that it is easy to become a curse to the person concerned.

“By the way… … Hmm, this friend doesn’t seem to have been like that since birth. It seems like it suddenly opened. It’s very little, but it seems to be starting to open even at this moment.”

At that moment, Theo suddenly had something in his mind.

‘It was also because of the grade increase of Hatchling Synchro.’

And,

It seemed that the increase in skill level also meant that he was getting closer to the ranks of superhumans.

– Amon originally means ‘hidden existence’ and symbolizes all things invisible, and another name for Amon, ‘oṃ’, is a sound that sounded in the beginning and is a sacred sound that condenses all the vibrations of the universe. There is even a saying that simply reciting it can purify the soul.

If you detect the sound that rang in the beginning, you can purify your soul.

This will soon expand the brain gate.

-Amon is the ‘voice of the soul’ and ‘vibration of truth’. Awaken the essence of things by expanding the spiritual wavelength, and let them hear the voice of thought latent in it. When you reach a certain level, you will be able to hear my voice.

It means that the expansion of the spiritual wavelength leads to a rise in rank.

Somehow, it felt like I was getting closer to what Lodbroke had said.

thump thump!

My heart was beating fast.

Being able to become stronger was just as heartbreaking.

“You are now in a state where the bowl is extremely wide. It’s absurd compared to what we currently have. Then what will happen?”

“Too many parts will be empty.”

Trainer nodded heavily and continued.

“That’s it. As a result, the contents are not stored properly and are wandering around. The confusion in my head will, of course, inevitably grow.”

“then… … What should I do?”

“What should I do? I’ll just have to wait and see.”

“… … !”

“There are only two ways to calm the contents. Waiting in silence until the contents get used to the suddenly widened bowl. Time will tell. Even if the headache is severe, I have no choice but to wait patiently.”

“… … What about the latter?”

“This is virtually impossible.”

“I want you to teach me anyway.”

“It’s about pouring more contents to fit into the bowl.”

“… … !”

“It means you have to gain that kind of enlightenment or accept that knowledge, but right now it’s impossible.”

Theo clenched his teeth.

“But… … The headache keeps getting worse. At this rate, I will not be able to resist the upcoming enemy invasion.”

“Do you really need to step out?”

“… … ?”

What else is this talking about?

“Looking at it, it seems like you’ve already done more than what you were supposed to do as a rookie. Leave this to your colleagues and seniors.”

All the members nodded vigorously.

“Trainer’s words are right.”

“right. you get some rest.”

“You worked hard, youngest. So take a deep breath When you wake up, you will be in Winterer.”

“Isn’t it necessary to give us a chance to play an active part? Eh?”

Selford even gave a ridiculous punch to the chest.

“Did the assistant shooter step forward to do something like that? In times like this, leave everything to the shooter, man.”

“… … .”

Theo was stunned for a moment.

‘… … colleague.’

Somehow, I feel like my heart is choking.

In the meantime, I thought I had to come out and solve everything myself.

It was only now that I realized little by little that this was not the case.

He was already a 100-year-old dragon,

Baegapyonggidae was a united fence and family.

‘no. That’s why I have to move even more.’

This battle has already become a fight with Ed.

Without a doubt, there is a high possibility that the one who is bombarding from above is also Ed’s nemesis.

So, in order to shatter Ed’s conspiracy that would be planned later, it was necessary to break it here.

-Balmun’s deodorization.

Now it has become a must-do.

‘I can’t tell them about Ed yet. There’s no way to prove it, and I can’t even tell you where to get information.’

Fortunately, the suspicion that Sejak exists within Ragnar has been planted, so we have to start from here.

Kwak!

Theo bit the back of his tongue hard.

When I smelled the fishy blood, I felt like I was forced to wake up.

The eyes regained strength.

“Indomitable and invincible. I learned from the spirit of Baek Gap Yonggidae. So I will fight.”

“Well… … !”

indomitable, not yielding

do not retreat, do not back down

At the mention of the motto of the 100th Army, Trainer drooled, and Selford and the crew were all surprised by Theo’s determination.

just then,

“Chief, by any chance, the contents of the contents also apply to the teachings of the super masters?”

Trainer tilted his head at the absurd question Evelynn suddenly asked.

“There’s nothing quite like filling a large bowl. But it’s hard to find something like that right now… … !”

“Nope. I do.”

“… … !?”

Trainer didn’t even bother to ask what this meant.

Suddenly, Evelyn pulled out a booklet from her bosom.

“Originally, I kept it because I thought it was still too early to cycle, but I don’t know if it turned out well.”

Theo tilted his head as he received the brochure Evelyn handed over.

– Iljimae (一枝梅).

A plum blossom hanging from the end of a branch?

The moment I opened the booklet, wondering what the hell this was.

“… … !”

Theo was shocked.

It was a collection of discussions.

A collection of discussions about the martial arts exchanged between the sword dragon, Maehwa Palace lord, and the demon dragon, Julius.

They exchanged bloody discussions about the reason for the sword that each other pursued for the rest of their lives, and when necessary, competed with swords directly to capture the process.

Julius: What do you think a sword is, Sword Dragon?

Ossa: I think of swords as flowers.

Julius: Flowers?

OSA: Yes. In order for the flowers to bloom splendidly, the last process is absolutely necessary. New shoots must bloom from the seeds that have fallen on the ground, the stems must grow and the leaves must grow, and you must wait for the buds to form within them. … .

Since it was possible to compare and analyze the swordsmanship of Geomryong and Maeryong, it was dangerous enough that its weakness could be exposed if used incorrectly.

But,

The two of them were having an in-depth conversation, not caring about that at all.

Just for Theo.

thud! thud! thud! thud!

My heart was beating fast.

-Don’t be burdened with making a choice. No matter what choice you make, I will always be by your side.

The words of the Maehwa Palace Lady at the nomination ceremony flashed through Theo’s mind at first glance.

I kept my promise to stand behind you no matter what.

‘I haven’t done anything… … These people only help me.’

Julius was the one who taught Theo the fun of the sword,

Maehwagungju was the one who taught the basics of swordsmanship.

Those who always give generously.

In gratitude, he closed his eyes involuntarily.

[‘Skill: Hatchling Synchro’ reads the thoughts attached to the item.]

Whoa!

At that moment, the dark vision was reversed.

A quiet moonlit night.

The plum blossom princess and Julius were exchanging conversations while facing each other.

-Do you think this book will be of great help to Theo?

– I simply described the exchange of conversations, but I think there are a lot more that I can’t understand.

– Huh? So, why not make this book?

– There is none.

The plum palace lord smiled softly at Julius’ question.

-Because it can be a guide.

– Guide me… … .

– As the captain of Baek Gap Yonggi knows, Theo is a very fast kid. And if you go too fast, you miss a lot.

-but. Sometimes there are a lot of things you can only know by taking it slow.

-that’s right. If you miss those details, it’s easy to end up with a brittle sandcastle.

– Even the black iron captain had to overcome such dangers several times.

-So I believe that this discussion will serve as a basis for filling in those missing details.

The smile of Princess Maehwa was brighter than ever.

His worries and concerns for Theo were more genuine than anyone else’s.

Julius stared at her like that, then nodded heavily.

-exactly. He is too. great. I will work even harder to help.

-While the words came out, in fact, isn’t it true that Captain Baek Gap Yonggi doesn’t have to be so active? Theo has already entered the arms of Captain Baek Gap Yonggi, right?

– You are saying strange things that are not like the Princess Maehwa.

Julius smiled and said.

– Since you came into my arms, I will treasure it even more. That’s because it’s a family.

Their conversation ended there.

And,

aaah-

All the contents of Iljimae flooded into Theo’s mind.

Since it was a record of the conversation between the two, it was only necessary for the mind to transfer it intact.

Thanks to,

Theo could immediately understand the main emphasis of Iljimae.

Branches mean swords.

The plum blossom hanging at the end symbolizes swordsmanship.

Maehwagungju says:

It takes a lot of time and effort to make it bloom.

The same goes for swordsmanship.

Without long training and research, you can never develop.

Julius asked while agreeing.

Then, is the flower finished once it blooms?

.

.

In fact, most of the conversations that continued to bite the tail after tail were still the majority of Theo didn’t understand the deeper he went.

However, thanks to the guide they created, things that had been vague so far were resolved,

He was also able to observe the ＜Four Claws of the Dragon＞, which he had recently developed, from a third perspective.

at the same time,

shoot ah-

Theo felt the throbbing headache quickly subside.

It wasn’t just a headache.

The body aches also completely disappeared.

As if soaking in cold water, my head became quiet.

“… … .”

in that deep silence,

thump thump thump!

The only thing I could hear was the beating of my heart, like a boat horn.

I could feel the flow of blood.

Thanks to the blood permeating all over the body, I was able to contemplate the entire body in detail.

At that moment, Theo realized.

In fact, the number of bees was not over.

The brain gate expanded in pursuit of the changed body, and the balance was barely balanced now that the contents were fully filled to fit the larger bowl.

Heart, Ki, Body.

That balance was the most important.

[I got a new hint about swordsmanship. The level has risen by accumulating a lot of experience.]

[Your level has risen.]

Theo woke up again and got up.

My mind was refreshed as if I had washed it with water.
