Econ grinned as he leisurely increased his strength.
‘Is it because I’m too young? ‘You’re very confident.’
Raon was full of pride, as Cheryl said, risking everything on a match that was obvious to a 3-year-old child.
‘It’s a little different than expected, but I’ll definitely let you know.’
I didn’t get Cheryl’s permission, but it’ll be okay. All she has to do is somehow break Ra-on’s spirit.
“Can we start?”
Econ lifted his chin and tightened his grip.
“yes. However much.”
“hmm?”
The pressure was so strong that even a normal prosecutor would scream, but Raon’s expression was as calm as usual.
‘Are you saying you’re using some effort?’
Well, I guess I signed up for an arm wrestling match.
Sometimes there are swordsmen who are thin but surprisingly strong. Raon also seemed to have those practical muscles.
‘Still, it’s no use.’
Econ smiled and glanced at the Cheongeomdae swordsman next to him.
“Are you both ready?”
The Cheongeomdae swordsman asked Raon and Econ, shaking their joined hands.
“okay.”
“yes.”
“Then let’s begin!”
As soon as Econ started, his hands were filled with strength. He was thinking of crushing it with his grip without even having to push it over.
Coo coo coo coo!
The rock on which my elbow was resting shook as if it would break due to the clash of power coming from the two joined hands.
‘what?’
Although a lot of force was applied, Raon’s expression did not change at all. His hand was also holding on without being crushed.
‘It’s a little strange, isn’t it?’
The power displayed now is more than 70% of the total strength. Even a prosecutor who used that much force should have been frightened and shook off his hand, but Raon’s expression was as calm as if he were drinking tea.
“Sir. “You’re giving strength now, right?”
Raon slightly lowered his eyebrows as if asking if he was doing it right.
“under!”
A tendon sprouted from Ekon’s forehead.
‘I tried to do it in moderation… .’
I like this guy’s fighting spirit, so I gave up the idea of making it light. I definitely need to fix that arrogance.
“Of course not! “It’s real from now on!”
Econ used his entire arm to push Raon.
Coo coo coo coo!
A powerful force was released that even shook the ground where the rock was embedded.
‘This one is going to hurt!’
He exploded with all the power his body could exert, crushing Raon.
but.
‘W-what is it?’
Econ’s lips trembled.
‘Why am I not being pushed back!’
Why doesn’t it fall down?
Raon’s arm was not pushed or shaken in the slightest, and was stuck like a thousand-year-old tree. A huge wall. No, it seemed like a mountain with no end in sight was holding on.
“profit!”
I clenched my teeth and raised my head to see Raon.
“ah… .”
His red eyes were as calm as a lake on a dark night, and his hair stood on end. Despite giving his all, Raon’s expression did not change.
“hmm?”
Raon tilted his head as if it was strange.
“I’ll ask you again. “You’re really putting in effort, right?”
“How did you… .”
Even his voice is calm. This doesn’t make sense. What kind of guy’s power is this strong?
“Now it’s my turn. “I will go.”
With those words, a tremendous amount of power came to me. It felt like I was hit by a tsunami that rose all the way to the sky.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
It’s not just arm strength. He let out an involuntary groan as his fingers felt like they would break from the strength of his grip.
“Ugh!”
He bit his lip until it bled and strengthened his arm, but Raon’s strength was not enough to withstand it with willpower.
‘T, troll? No, even being an ogre is not enough!’
It felt like my shoulder was going to fall off due to the strength that couldn’t even be described as a monster. It was so strong that the auror moved without even realizing it.
‘no! no way!’
Even if we lost, we couldn’t foul and lose. The auror who was trying to get up was put back into the dantian.
“Yaaah!”
Econ screamed and exerted his last strength. He remembered his position as the commander of the Thousand Sword Battalion and his dismissive words toward Ra On before it started, and he never wanted to lose.
Kwaaaaang!
The rock collapsed, unable to withstand the enormous strength of the two people. When the rising dust cleared, what was visible was the back of Econ’s hand on the floor.
“Ugh… .
Econ let out a soft moan. The pain on the back of his hand was enormous, as if his bones had been torn into pieces, but he was so embarrassed that he couldn’t even tell that it hurt.
I raised my head and saw Raon. The guy was patting the back of his hand without breaking a single drop of sweat.
‘Monster, monster… .’
I couldn’t think of anything else to say. The only word that came to mind was monster.
“It’s worse than I thought.”
Raon licked his lips.
“Those muscles.”
He pointed to the bulging muscles of Econ’s right arm.
“Did you make it for style?”
“Hmm, cool? “You think my perfectly trained muscles are cool?”
Econ’s chin trembled. He said it was the worst insult to someone who had developed strength like him to say that he had made his body into a fashionable body.
“Outside, left hand!”
Econ removed his broken right hand and stretched his left hand forward.
“I’m left-handed! Do it again with your left hand!”
* * *
Raon saw not Econ holding out his left hand with gritted teeth, but Cheryl standing behind him.
‘The Heavenly Sword Master was not without an expression.’
Cheryl opened her eyes so wide that her thin eyes looked as round as the full moon.
“no… .”
It looks like half of one’s soul has gone out. It seemed like they didn’t even think about the situation in which Econ would lose.
“Huh… .”
“Boo, the unit owner lost? “That too with force?”
“What is this…?” .”
The prosecutors of Cheongeomdae also shook their chins at the unexpected results. I felt refreshed when I saw the mouths that had been pointing out words all day closed tightly.
“Wow!”
“Raon.”
“Lord Budan!”
“Fuck! “It’s freedom from chores!”
On the other hand, the Gwangpungdan prosecutors held each other and cheered for their unexpected victory.
“Let’s try it with our left hand too! “I’m left-handed!”
Econ glared at the delighted Gwangpungdan and extended his left hand forward. It seemed like his pride was hurt by people calling his muscles cool.
“Why me?”
Raon tilted his head with a smile.
“what?”
“The match has already ended with my victory, so there is no need to do more.”
“Well, that’s… .”
“Wouldn’t it be good for the Cheongeomdae members to discuss who will do what chores? ”
“load!”
Econ pointed to the luggage placed next to the tent.
“As you suggested, if we lose this time, we will even carry your burden!”
“Oh, that’s okay. Dorian.”
“yep!”
When Raon snapped his fingers, Dorian smiled and headed towards the front of the tent. The guy was juggling the backpacks containing the prosecutors’ luggage and, as if doing a trick, putting them one by one into his stomach pocket.
“You saw it, right? “We have the best supply officers, so there is no need.”
“ah… .”
Econ saw that and his outstretched left arm trembled.
“but.”
Raon pointed to the sword on Ekon’s waist.
“If you would give me a swordsmanship lecture on heavy and strong swords every evening, I would do so.”
“Go, lecture?”
“yes. “Rather than a clumsy lecture, if you clearly explain the true meaning of heavy and strong swords, I will compete with my left hand as well.”
“That’s enough!”
Econ was ready to risk his life if he could win.
“Then if I win, you take the chore back and apologize to my muscles you insulted!”
Apologizing to Muscle, the muscle guy’s pride was greater than I thought.
“All right. “I accept it.”
“good night! let’s do it!”
Econ lay down on the spot and stretched out his left arm.
“Are you doing it while lying on the floor?”
“The rock earlier was tilted towards me, so I couldn’t use my strength properly! I’ve sorted out my sleeves, so this time will be different!”
There were so many different excuses, from being left-handed, to shaking rocks, to flapping sleeves.
“great.”
Raon smiled lightly and held Ekon’s hand.
-You idiot!
Lars frowned at Econ.
-Do you really think that a muscular pig like you can break the King’s graceful and elastic strength?!
The guy was patting Econ on the head and talking about how pathetic he was.
“Okay, then let’s begin!”
“Euriaaaa!”
As soon as Econ started, he exploded with the power of his entire body and pushed in. He was much more powerful than his right hand, whether it was true that he was left-handed.
‘Still, it doesn’t mean anything.’
For those who have a system, right or left hand has no meaning.
Both hands can exert a strength of 180, and if they think they can destroy something, they can produce the power worthy of the title of King of Destruction. No matter how powerful Econ was, it was impossible for him to hand over himself since he was still human.
“Because I’m bored. “I’ll finish it quickly this time.”
“what?”
Raon trembled and lightly let go of Econ’s left hand, which was giving him strength.
Kwaaaaang!
I just pushed it with pure strength without an aura, and a large hole appeared in the floor.
“ah… .”
Econ lay down on the floor with his left hand buried in the hole.
“Hey, this doesn’t make sense!”
Saliva was flowing out of his mouth, as if he was exhausted from the consecutive defeats.
“How does such strength come from such thin arms! “I only have small muscles, so why am I so strong?”
“Unlike those fashion muscles, my arms have compressed practical muscles. It is also called the depressor muscle.”
“Pae, fashion muscle. I have fashion muscles… .”
Econ, who lost twice, buried his head in the ground, unable to refute the comment about fashion muscles.
“You lost again?”
“… “I’m no match for you.”
“It’s so overwhelming!”
The prosecutors of the Cheongeomdae sat down with fierce eyes as if they were in despair at this situation.
“crazy… .”
Cheryl also didn’t show her usual cold expression. Her face was pale and her lips were quivering.
“Okay then, let’s sort it out.”
Raon stood up and dusted off the dirt from his clothes and hands.
“All the chores that the Gwangpungdan has done so far, such as horse care, dishwashing, cooking, and setting up tents, will be done by Cheongeomdae, and we will be taking swordsmanship lectures from Master Ekon every evening, right?”
“… … .”
Neither Econ, Cheryl, nor Cheongeomdae responded. I was still standing there in a daze, unable to come to my senses.
“The chores are over!”
“Wow!”
“I can go in peace now!”
“I’ll show you what cavil is.”
The Gwangpungdan prosecutors had smiles on their faces as they thought about repaying the accusations they had heard so far.
“I told you this is why I won’t do it!”
Econ frowned and stood up. He waved his dirt-covered left arm at Cheryl.
“I told you I’m not good at making childish nitpicks like this!”
He quickly cast a glance at the blankly standing prosecutors of the Cheongeomdae.
“Oh, right!”
“He did his job so well that there was nothing to complain about.”
“It was difficult to point out the instructions.”
They sighed that the Gwangpungdan had prepared the camp so perfectly that there was nothing to argue about.
“Point as instructed?”
“What does that mean?”
Marta and Buren tilted their heads.
“You know, we forced ourselves to find fault.”
“I didn’t mean to start an argument, I was told to do so.”
“I was going to do it moderately, but you guys are pretty patient… .”
The prosecutors of the Cheongeomdae scratched their heads as if they were embarrassed.
“no way… .”
“Are you saying you received instructions from the Great Lord of the Heavenly Sword?”
The eyes of everyone in the Gwangpungdan turned to the Heavenly Sword Master.
“Whoa… .”
Cheryl sighed and nodded. She looked quite weak.
“okay. “I gave all instructions.”
“Why?”
“Because the Gwangpungdan performed outstandingly in both missions and sparring, I tried to moderately suppress them so that they would not become overconfident. But looking at the way you guys handled things, I guess my worries were unfounded. sorry.”
She lowered her eyes and apologized honestly.
“We’re sorry too.”
“You guys did a good job. “It was difficult to force myself to find fault.”
“okay. “He started acting more and more childish.”
“You don’t look like a rookie. You will become great.”
Prosecutors from Cheongeomdae also bowed their heads and praised him, saying they were sorry.
“I see.”
“I thought it was strange.”
“It was for us.”
The Gwangpungdan nodded as if they had been fooled by Econ and Cheongeomdae’s intentions.
“Well, you said you did it because you were worried about us, so I understand.”
Raon also smiled while looking at Sheryl and Cheongeomdae.
“Thank you!”
“okay. “As big as his power is, his heart is as big as his.”
“After all, they are Master Rimer’s disciples!”
“but.”
When the Cheongeomdae prosecutors smiled and were about to pass over, Raon raised his hand.
“Calculation is calculation, so you have to do what you have to do.”
It is obvious why everyone is apologizing one after another, starting with Econ, the Heavenly Sword Master, and the Heavenly Sword Master. This is to avoid taking over the work and take the lead again.
‘Who do you think is a fool?’
All you want is to weaken your mind and take things half-and-half, but an apple is an apple and a bet is a bet. What needs to be done must be done.
“See it over there?”
Raon pointed to the dishes piled up behind him.
“First, please wash the dishes and then decide your own watch time.”
“ah… .”
At those words, Econ and Cheongeomdae’s expressions turned pale. Even if he apologized, he didn’t seem to know that he would come out calmly.
-joy. You idiots.
Lars looked at the Heavenly Sword Table and raised his chin.
-Did you think this poisonous snake would pass up this opportunity? He will bite and never let go.
That’s right. What a training opportunity that came about, but they let it go.
“A promise is a promise, so you have to work.”
Cheryl let out a low sigh as she looked at the Cheongeomdae prosecutors.
“You will take care of all the chores until the mission is over. First off, washing the dishes… .”
“Why are you acting like it’s someone else’s business?”
Raon tilted his head while looking at Sheryl.
“what?”
“Think carefully when you place your first bet. “What did I say?”
“W-what do you mean?”
“If I win, I said, ‘Cheongeomdae’ will take care of the chores we were doing until this mission is over.’ ‘Cheongeomdae!’”
“ah… .”
Cheryl’s complexion turned pale at those words.
“You didn’t say anything when I suggested it earlier, but you’re not going to say no now, right? “The Lord of the Heavenly Sword of the World?”
“Well, that…” .”
Her face turned red, as if she was very embarrassed. It was also new to see the Grand Master unable to control his facial expressions.
“Wow!”
“Wow, I’m crazy. really… .”
“Have you thought about this from the beginning?”
“Is that a person?”
Gwangpungdan and Cheongeomdae saw Raon dominating this situation and simultaneously let out a gasp of admiration.
“I, I swore. I will never touch that person again. “I’d rather die than turn into an enemy.”
“It’s slow. “I already completed that oath at Habun Castle.”
Crane and Dorian shook their heads.
-Huh, did you even grab that woman’s leash? It’s terrible. It’s terrible! There is no poisonous snake like you in the demon world!
Lars also looked at Sheryl with a sad expression.
“Go to sleep, we don’t have time.”
Raon clapped his hands and attracted everyone’s attention.
“Master of the Heavenly Sword and the members, please go wash the dishes and pick up some more firewood when you come back. The unit commander needs to give a lecture on the heavy sword from now on. “Let’s move quickly.”
Raon grinned as he looked at the mesmerized Cheongeomdae and Gwangpungdae.
‘Additional 6 households.’
* * *
After talking, Raon left the Cheongeomdae and sat in front of the bonfire with the members of the Gwangpungdan.
“Is this okay?”
“It’s good not to work, but is it okay to touch the heavenly sword… ”
“What happens next is scary.”
Buren, Dorian, and Crane savored their appetites as if they were anxious as they looked at the Heavenly Sword Table behind them.
“Just think about the lecture.”
“Then are you going to keep getting treated like a brat? “Why are those bastards with swords so scared!”
Runan looked happy at the thought of listening to the lecture, and Marta was smiling as if it were refreshing.
“don’t worry. “I’m not one of those people who would say something like that.”
Considering the actions of the Cheongeomdae, his current words, and the personality of the Cheongeomdae, he is not the type of person who would cause harm through such things. For now, just enjoy your leisure time.
“Yeah, I guess so?”
Dorian nodded and took out a snack from his stomach pouch.
“Ha, I feel like I have a stomach disease these days.”
“Me too.”
Burren and Crane held their stomachs and frowned.
“Still, it’s convenient because I don’t have to do any chores.”
“I’m on watch. “I hate waking up from sleep.”
“I hated washing dishes the most.”
“Oh yeah. “Now that I think about it, washing dishes is the worst.”
While Raon was smiling and listening to the Gwangpungdan members chatting, he heard footsteps behind him.
Jerk.
It seemed like he was coming for a lecture, but the sound was so quiet that you wouldn’t think it was an acoustic.
I raised my head when the footsteps stopped in front of me. The Heavenly Sword Grand Master stood there, her purple hair blowing in the wind.
“I will give the swordsmanship lecture instead of Vice Commander Echon.”
She was looking down at the Gwangpungdan with her arms crossed.
“Yeah?”
“Well, the Great Lord of the Heavenly Sword?”
“Wow… .”
“Why, why?”
The Gwangpungdan member opened his mouth wide as he looked at the Heavenly Sword Master.
‘It turned out just as I thought.’
Raon chuckled as he looked at the Heavenly Sword Master. He had expected this to happen by involving the Great Master of the Heavenly Sword in his chores and betting on Ekon to teach him swordsmanship, but it turned out exactly as expected.
-Huh, don’t talk nonsense! You’re not even a god, so how can you even think this far!
Lars stuttered, probably embarrassed.
‘Really.’
Raon chuckled, looking at the Heavenly Sword Master whose face was slightly red.
‘I thought even the Grand Master wouldn’t like washing dishes.’
