Raon opened his eyes to the sunlight coming down from the clean, dust-free window.
‘It’s refreshing.’
Perhaps thanks to the curse words Ras spat out, I didn’t feel drowsy, and my whole body was full of vitality.
‘As expected, this guy is not the devil, but a tree that gives generously.’
As I smiled and looked at the ice flower bracelet, a message appeared before my eyes.
[The quality of sleep has improved to the limit, enhancing the efficiency of <Sloth>.]
[All abilities have increased.]
The message was that thanks to <Sloth>, I slept well and all my abilities improved.
“Oh, now that I think about it… .”
When I closed my eyes, I remembered Lars swearing at Sloth. She seems to have anticipated this effect and went on a rampage.
-Big!
Lars took off his bracelet and frowned.
-I knew it would be like this. What a dirty, filthy fraudulent ability!
The guy bit his lip as he looked at the message that all his abilities had increased.
-Is it possible for all my abilities to increase even though I only slept? It’s a damn ability that even the real king doesn’t have!
‘It’s like this sometimes.’
-What do you mean by ‘sometimes’? It’s a small amount, but my abilities are increasing every day!
A chill of anger crept up onto Lars’ shoulders.
-The King never forgets. Sloth I will make sure that stupid bastard cannot sleep for the rest of his life.
‘But didn’t you lose all your strength to me and get beaten by Sloth?’
-What do you mean, all your hair is falling out? Do you think the main king will lose to that bastard just because he lost some of his strength?
Lars frowned, telling me not to say something so absurd. However, her voice trembled slightly.
-Ho, I don’t care if something like that happens. If you make it so he can’t sleep by running away, I’ll admit defeat!
The guy grinned, saying he would win no matter what.
‘ah… .’
Raon opened his mouth wide. When I imagined Lars running away after disturbing his sleep due to being overwhelmed by Sloth, I suddenly felt sorry for him.
“Would you like some bead ice cream?”
Feeling a little sorry, I took out the box of ice cream from the drawer.
-Yes, you! What are your intentions? What are you going to do to this king?
Lars raised his hand as if on guard and licked his lips.
It became even more saddening to see the desire to eat ice cream and the anxiety of not knowing what to ask for coexist.
‘After you eat, I’ll eat all the ice cream in there.’
-I don’t believe it! Reveal your intentions!
‘There is no such thing.’
Raon sighed and opened the door. When I went to the washroom to wash, I encountered a toddler coming out of the hallway.
“Ah, Raon!”
Unlike usual, Yua was wearing brightly colored outdoor clothes.
“Where?”
“Roen said that starting today, he will teach you music and martial arts.”
Yua’s pigtails fluttered as if in anticipation.
“If that’s the case, I’ll go too. Hang in there.”
“yes? no. I can go alone. Raon needs to rest… .”
“I’m fine because I slept well. “I’ll get ready soon.”
Raon waved his hand and quickly entered the washroom.
-Hehe, I knew it would be like this. There is no way you will obediently eat ice cream.
Lars laughed coldly as he landed on the toddler’s head.
-I thought so. Yes, I knew that, but why did I feel sick to my stomach? .
Sniff.
* * *
5 A prosecutor’s restaurant built near the training ground.
Originally, it was a restaurant that only trainees could enter, but as the 5th training center became the headquarters of the Gwangpungdan and the number of visitors decreased, it is now open to everyone.
However, because the 5th Training Center and the Facility Management Department were nearby, most of the people using the restaurant were Gwangpungdan members and technicians.
“what?”
A loud noise was heard from the dining table of the restaurant.
“You got hit by lightning?”
Burren frowned at Dorian.
“That’s right. “They said he got it twice a day.”
“Does that make sense?”
“Really. So, Danju, you have been in the infirmary for two days now.”
“No, it’s been sunny lately. “How do you get hit by lightning?”
“Well, I don’t know either. “There is something called lightning in a dry sky.”
Dorian shrugged his shoulders while holding the tray.
“I didn’t see you even though the vacation was over, so I thought you might have gone to a gambling house. thunderbolt? Danju is truly very diverse.”
Burren put the last bit of stew on his plate and let out a laugh.
“Then why doesn’t Raon come?”
“They say it’s exhaustion.”
“Drained? Why is he doing that again?”
“I heard you only trained for two days? I don’t know if that’s possible… .”
Dorian shook his head and muttered that it was terrible.
“Two days… .”
Buren swallowed dry saliva.
‘He can do it.’
If it were anyone else, I would have told you not to lie, but Raon. It was entirely possible with that type of poison.
“Danju was hit by lightning and was hospitalized, while Budanju suffered exhaustion while practicing. “The family is doing very well.”
Burren turned around in a sigh of relief.
“But Raon will be back tomorrow… “Ugh!”
Dorian, who was ahead, lost his balance and fell. The food on the plate flew out and landed on the uniform of a tall prosecutor at the table in front.
“Ahh! Sorry! Wash it right away… .”
“This bastard.”
Dorian was about to take a handkerchief from his stomach pocket when the prosecutor stood up, gritting his teeth.
“I know what this uniform is like!”
The tall swordsman ignored Dorian’s apology and slammed his clenched fist.
“Wow!”
Dorian, who had been caught off guard, was hit on the chin and the table on his right was overturned.
“What are you doing!”
“You’re arguing now, right?”
“Hey, step on it!”
The prosecutors sitting at the table began punching and stepping on Dorian as if they had made a good decision.
“Let’s stop there.”
Buren placed the tray on an empty table and gained momentum. The prosecutors who had been beating Dorian looked back at him, frowning.
“What are you doing by tripping on your feet first and using your aura to prevent your balance? “These are guys I haven’t seen around here. Did they come to start a fight at Gwangpungdan?”
“Is there any reason to start an argument?”
“Huh!”
Buren suddenly turned around at the sound he heard in his ear. Behind the back where no one was, a tall, thin man was grinning.
“Go, Garon Sieghart.”
He was Garon Sieghardt, the second son of Jinmujeonlord Balder, and the leader of the Jinmudan under Jinmujeon.
“It must be Master Garon Sieghart.”
“Go, Lord Garon. sorry.”
“okay. okay. I, who am generous, should understand that much. however… .”
Garon smiled and lifted his chin.
“He said something a little harsh.”
“yes?”
“Why are our kids arguing? “Look at that.”
He pointed to the uniforms of the prosecutors who had stepped on Dorian.
“I spilled obscene food on a uniform made with the highest quality fabrics and materials, and one that hasn’t even been properly started yet. Isn’t it strange that you just stay still?”
“It would be true if Dorian accidentally spilled the food. But this time, the author hooked his leg first and used aurors to pressure him, causing him to lose his balance.”
Burren pointed to the dirty-looking swordsman who walked Dorian’s leg.
“Is there any evidence that our deputy head did that?”
“yes?”
“Is there any evidence that you were able to put your foot down and move the auror?”
“It was obvious to the eye, but such unreasonableness… .”
“You are the one forcing it now. “You’re the only one who saw it.”
Garon raised his arm and pointed to the surroundings. The technicians who were eating ran outside with their trays out of fear that sparks would fly, and the cooks and employees hid inside the kitchen.
Seeing something so blatant, it was clear that they were there to start a fight.
“Is it Raon you’re after?”
The reason why Geumcheomdan, an armed force belonging to Jinmujeon, is raising a dispute with Gwangpungdan is obvious. This may be because Raon previously defeated Raven and suspended Jinmujeon’s activities for a year.
“Raon? “Why is that guy here?”
Garon shook his head resolutely.
“Why would I target that child who could be the pride of our family?”
He smiled and sat down at the table.
“wake up.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Burren looked at Garon carefully and helped Dorian up, who had fallen. The Auror’s face and body were covered in bruises from her young fist.
I don’t usually like Dorian that much, but I was angry at his dirty ways.
“Then what do you want?”
“If you say that, it makes me sound like a villain. “It really just happened by chance.”
“There is no need to come here and be so pretentious. “Please tell me clearly.”
“If you say it that way… .”
Garon smiled slightly and tapped the sheath of his sword.
“Let’s spar.”
“yes?”
“Let’s have a group sparring between your Gwangpungdan and our Geumcheomdan.”
“What happened all of a sudden…” .”
Buren narrowed his eyes. I thought she was going to ask Ra-on out, or that she was going to start a fight about Ra-on, but I didn’t know she was going to ask me to spar.
“When I think about it. “It was a little unreasonable.”
Garon got up from the table and approached Burren.
“lets think. I became the leader of the Golden Edge and successfully completed my first mission, but Jin Wuzhen was suspended. “I completed the mission, but I received no reward and no one recognized me.”
His eyes were shining red.
“But I can’t even do other missions. Because Jin Wu-tian, the leader of the Jin-chung-dan, has stopped! After spending over a year without anything to do, I thought I’d make a move, but you guys are getting so much praise for completing your first mission, aren’t you? “Isn’t this kind of shit?”
“That’s because Raiden, a Jinmuden member, caused a problem… .”
“It must be Raiden.”
“I don’t want to call someone who would tarnish Sieghardt’s name as my brother.”
“Well, I like that firmness. “I don’t treat that bastard like my little brother.”
Garon whirled around and nodded. Emotions come and go in an instant. There was a strong smell that he was a dangerous guy.
“Anyway, I would like to have a sparring match between the proud Gwangpungdan and our Geumcheomdan, who were stuck in the gutter. Can you arrange it?”
“That’s not up to me to decide.”
Burren shook his head. Now he knew Garon’s purpose. He came here to take revenge on the suspension of his activities for a year and to bring back the reputation of Gwangpungdan.
However, unlike the stupid Raiden, he was using a very troublesome method.
“okay? “Well then, we should take a rest here too.”
Garon kicked the tilted table and sat down on the empty chair. The high-tech prosecutors who followed him created an intimidating atmosphere by pushing the table or sitting on it.
“Here, make some rotin lamb ribs and a whole roasted Tutan pork.”
“Bring some fried chicken!”
“Bring me alcohol too!”
They flirted, ordering dishes made with ingredients that are hard to find here.
“Well, that’s impossible now…” .”
“impossible? What is impossible! “If you have to do it, you have to do it!”
“Huh!”
As the prosecutors screamed, the kitchen staff could be heard groaning. He was shaking as if he was scared.
“Please stop. Our technicians and staff are scared.”
“huh? Because I’m scared. “Stop it?”
“Aren’t we all afraid? As Sieghardt’s swordsman, he protects the weak… .”
“Oh, everyone is afraid? That’s right. A chef shouldn’t be afraid. Because I can’t cook. Ah, I was wrong. I almost made a huge mistake! “As a direct descendant of Sieghardt and the owner of Goldsmith, I almost scared the chef!”
He bared his teeth and kicked the table in front of him.
Kwaaaaang!
The table spun and flew and crashed into the wall. Garon’s level of powerlessness was felt just by looking at it being stuck in the wall without being broken or crushed.
“hey! Everyone, don’t eat it! Our chefs and technicians are afraid! “Everyone is starving!”
“yes!”
The prosecutors from Gold High Tech responded with a chuckle and glared at us. It meant that if you wanted to end this situation, you had to take on the challenge.
“after… .”
Burren glared at them all and caught his breath. I felt like if I didn’t pull myself together, I would curse them vulgarly.
“I will ask Danju and Budanju about their intentions, so please leave for today.”
“Hmm.”
Garon rolled his eyes and nodded.
“It doesn’t seem like there’s any business here today, so I’d better go somewhere else. “Let’s go guys.”
“yes!”
The high-tech swordsmen stood up in perfect order and stood behind Garon.
“But if that offer isn’t accepted, I think I’ll want to come here again. “You know, right?”
Buren nodded without answering. He didn’t want to have any more conversations with this charlatan.
“good. “See you later.”
He waved his hands and left the restaurant.
Dalkang! Kyaang!
I heard something fall in the kitchen. It seemed like the nervous employees dropped their silverware.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, it’s okay.”
Dorian muttered that he was okay with a displeased look on his face.
“Well, what are you going to do? “Aren’t they coming again?”
“okay. “It will definitely come.”
If you delay or refuse an answer when they see what you are doing, they will keep coming.
“So I have to find someone to solve it.”
* * *
Small garden of Sieghardt’s main building. Roen was smiling at eye level with Yua.
“I saw it once before. “It’s called Loen.”
“It’s a toddler!”
Roen and Yua greeted each other with respect and smiled.
“Will you be there, Master?”
“I want to see how you teach.”
Raon nodded. I had planned to observe the first few classes, as I had to stop them from teaching assassination techniques to infants.
“It’s a little embarrassing, but I understand. “Just sit there.”
“thank you.”
Raon nodded and sat down on a white garden chair.
“Miss Yua. “Can you sing me a song you like?”
“yes!”
Yua nodded and stepped aside. She bobbed her pigtails and began to sing.
“The blood-soaked walls and the snowy fields at night are like a winter castle… .”
Yua sang not an ordinary song, but a military song from Habun Castle. Is it because a toddler calls it? It was so noble and elegant that it made you think it was a song used in a play.
“Even in the early morning when green and red rain soaks the earth, the changkal howls… .”
The more I listen to the song, the more my heart flutters. The sound of loud horns and the endless sound of bows seemed to ring in my ears. I felt like I wanted to pick up my sword and stand on the castle wall right away and fight the monster.
“Huh!”
As soon as YooA’s song ended, Loen burst into laughter and applauded.
“All I can say is that it’s amazing.”
His eyes sparkled like a swordsman who had seen a famous sword.
“The tone and emotion are amazing. The sad emotions were properly conveyed in a powerful military song. “Can I listen to other songs as well?”
“Sure!”
Yua, who was filled with confidence after receiving praise, clenched her small fists and started singing another song.
The second was a song whispering love, and the third was a song about the joy of viewing autumn leaves.
“It’s a bit awkward to say this, but I understand why Eden targeted Miss Yua.”
Loen, who was listening to Yua’s song, came next to Raon and whispered softly.
“Miss Yoo’s voice is divine, and she is also very talented in music. “If a baby had entered Eden, a monster would have been born that would commit mass murder on a scale we can’t even imagine.”
He nodded, saying he had really done a great job.
“So there’s nothing to teach in music?”
“That’s not it. “As I learned music on my own, I feel a bit regretful.”
“Do you have any regrets?”
Raon tilted his head. He thought Yua’s singing was perfect, but he couldn’t understand what was missing.
“The part about rhythm or rhyme is a little lacking.”
“ah… .”
“Even though the songs are different, the rhythm flows almost the same. So there are some awkward parts. “I think if we just adjust that, it will be perfect.”
“okay.”
“Fortunately, the. “If it were perfect, there’s nothing I can do for you.”
He smiled slightly and approached Yua again.
“Do you know about rhythm?”
“Uh, well… .”
“Everything in the world has rhythm. “There is rhythm in the beating of the heart that keeps us alive, in the chirping of mountain birds, and in the voices of gardeners tending the garden.”
Roen pointed out the sequences he had heard as examples of rhythm.
“Rhythm is one of the most important elements in music. It makes repeated phrases more exciting, happier, or sadder. To give a simple example… .”
He started singing the song the toddler had sung. I couldn’t say that I sang it better than YooA, but the lyrics and melody were clearly embedded in me, and I felt the meaning of the song much better.
“How about this?”
“great!”
Yua jumped up and raised her hand.
“Wasn’t it easy to listen to?”
“It was comfortable and I felt better!”
Yua nodded, probably thinking the same thing.
“That’s the power of rhythm. “If you sing each song to the right rhythm, it will fit well musically, emotionally, or aggressively.”
Roen said that and added a few stories.
“rhythm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes, recalling Yua’s song and Loen’s song.
‘It’s a rhythm that suits the time… .’
Clearly, Yua did not pay much attention to elements called rhythm or rhythm when singing, and Loen used a rhythm that fit like a gear wheel.
The song itself was sung better by YooA, but Loen was easier to listen to and suited the song better.
‘Is footwork like that too?’
That might be the difference between myself and Glenn that I thought I had before I was exhausted.
‘Now that I think about it, the timing of taking the first and second steps was a little different… .’
The sound of Glenn’s footsteps and the depth of his footprints were different when he took his first and second steps.
‘Is that rhythm too?’
Different rhythms for different situations. It was clear that Glenn used the most appropriate breathing method when using Taehwabo.
Yikes!
When I realized that there is a rhythm to the steps, my mind became angry and opened.
That night. The Taehwabo that Glenn showed was played like a stream of water, and it was as if every single movement he made was tangible.
Raon stood up from the chair without realizing it. He lowered his posture slightly and extended his left foot forward.
Bullfight!
A magnificent flow that seemed to reach the whole world flowed at my feet and merged with the earth.
* * *
“And now the Auror training method I’m going to teach you… hmm?”
Roen, who was trying to teach Auror exercises to Yua, turned his head.
Raon, who was sitting on the right, slowly got up. He began to walk with his eyes as if possessed by a ghost.
Tooung!
The daylight that stretched across the grass was Glenn’s fireworks.
‘Taehwa Ilbo?’
However, it was different from what Raon showed not long ago. He shed the skin of immaturity and exuded mystery and grandeur like Glenn.
Then take the second step. An exhilarating step. Having lived as an assassin, he quickly reached the other side with a speed that he admired. It was a speed that could be considered magic.
“Lao… town.”
I stopped the startled Yua from calling Raon and watched the third step. Raon’s body shook like the tip of a sword, then transformed into two shapes and then merged.
Coo coo coo coo!
The fourth is slow. The slow pace, as if a slug is crawling, is full of power and intimidation. The grip that enveloped space spread thickly as the footprints weighed down the earth.
“ah… .”
Roen opened his mouth. In just a few days, Raon began to spread Taehwabo with true intentions.
If he had been a crawling baby before, he was now a toddler, taking one step at a time.
‘You’re crazy.’
I was speechless because I was so shocked that I had learned such a world-class step so quickly.
Even though Rimmer always said that Raon was the king’s vessel, he did not take it very seriously. I know he’s a great kid, but there’s still a lot to watch.
However, in this brief moment, when I saw him taking a hint from his own words and heading upward, I realized that Rimmer’s words were not lies.
“after.”
Roen turned his head at the sound of breathing coming from next to him. The Great Lord of the Heavenly Sword was watching Raon with her arms crossed. Her face was full of irritation.
“What on earth is that guy?”
“yes?”
“As soon as I woke up from samadhi, I entered samadhi again.”
The Heavenly Sword Grandmaster turned his head with wrinkles forming between his eyebrows.
“What on earth is that guy doing, coming and going in Sammaegyeong like it’s his own home?”
“Someone I know said this.”
Roen looked at Raon with soft eyes and smiled.
“He is the person who will become the owner of this family in the future.”
* * *
While Raon was in a trance, he realized what he was doing.
When I step on the Taehwa Ilbo, I feel the heartbeat while thinking about the world I will move into; when I extend the Taehwa Ilbo, I feel the thunderbolt that strikes in a split second; when I step on the Taehwa Ilbo, I feel the rays of the sun spreading through the bars; when I step on the Taehwa Ilbo, I feel the majesty of Glenn Sieghardt. It was captured.
As the breathing and rhyme that I saw and felt became embedded in Taehwabo, it became a method of walking that was different from before. It could have stretched out faster, slower, or more epically.
Raon stretched out the nine steps of Taehwabo until he was exhausted, and then raised his head.
“ha… .”
My fingertips are shaking with excitement. When she realized that this was the real Taehwabo, a shiver ran through her entire body.
I can say for sure. Although the achievement itself cannot be compared, I have walked the same path as Glenn showed me.
If you work hard and try harder, you may be able to catch up with his walking method someday.
“Whoa!”
As my heart was pounding loudly with excitement at having learned the walking method, a message appeared before my eyes.
[You have achieved an achievement that is currently impossible.]
[All abilities increase by 5 points.]
[<Title> The Enlightened One has been created.]
[<Attribute> Concentration level increases to 4 stars.]
The message was that thanks to the achievement of clearly mastering the Taehwabo, all abilities and levels of concentration increased, and even a title was earned.
When he showed me the message like this, I felt like I had done something really great.
– Holy crazy!
Lars’ eyes trembled as he looked at the message.
-Isn’t this a reward for learning a crude step?
Although he shouted, Lars’ voice did not contain the same confidence as usual.
‘Taehwabo is a walking technique that you also recognized as great?’
-Bo, this king has never been like that… .
‘You said that the effect of increasing your learning ability only appears when you have absolutely no knowledge to learn. They said the walking technique itself was excellent.’
-Ugh, damn it!
Lars was unable to continue speaking and gritted his teeth. He would have no choice but to admit it due to his inability to lie.
-Shit! What are you going to do if your abilities are taken away again in two days?
It had only been a few days since all of my abilities had increased, and it felt like death to have another 5 points taken away.
-He seems like a really lucky guy!
‘It’s not luck, it’s thanks to Roen and you.’
-What?
‘You told me that it’s important to grow your heart and mind and find your own path.’
-That’s right… .
Lars nodded, shaking slightly.
‘This time, as I incorporated rhythm into my walking techniques, my heart also moved along with it. Because it contains the experiences I have had. You seem to be advancing so quickly, and half of this achievement is thanks to you. thanks.’
Raon grinned. As expected, Lars was a generous tree that gave without distinction between material and spiritual aspects.
-Bo, are you mocking the king?
‘I know better now.’
-kill! I will kill you, and my king will also go to hell!
‘You originally came from hell.’
-Keuuuuuuu! shut up!
Raon chuckled. Still, since I had some help, I was planning on eating all the ice cream like I promised in the morning.
“Raon!”
“hmm?”
While I was happily teasing Lars, I heard Burren’s voice from the entrance to the garden.
When I turned my head, I saw Burren, with a crumpled expression, bringing Dorian in with black bruises on both eyes.
“Dorian?”
There were black bruises not only on the eyes, but also on the cheeks and wrists. The wound was not from a wooden sword, but from a fist.
It was clear that Gwangpungdan had literally been beaten, seeing as it was a period of personal training after a break and there was no reason to be upset.
Raon’s red eyes were irritated.
Some guy touched my pocket.
