Roen smiled slightly as he watched Raon take her stance.
‘It must be difficult because it’s your first time.’
It is clear that the martial arts of sound is a type of martial arts, but the operation method and activation of aurors are quite different from swordsmanship. Even if Raon becomes a master and is talented, it is impossible to imitate him after seeing him once.
‘Still, your confidence is good.’
Is it because I am young? Or is it because we have achieved so much? Raon’s eyes were filled with confidence that he could do it all at once. En, who likes that kind of youth and confidence, nodded her head with enthusiasm.
‘Is this just the beginning?’
Looking at Raon’s eyes, it seemed like he was about to start. I let my guard down and listened to him to give him advice.
Good!
The silver blade rises, sharpening the tip of the scabbard. A discordant friction sound vibrated the air, followed by a powerful roar.
Wooooow!
The heated auror raced through the sound, causing a powerful ringing in Roen’s ears. The clear sound made me come to my senses as if I had been doused in cold water.
“Huh!”
Roen swallowed his dry saliva.
‘What’s happening… .’
I was so embarrassed that my head couldn’t turn properly. The only thing that is certain is that Raon did something crazy to capture the aura in the sound from the beginning.
‘I’m going crazy.’
I thought I was acknowledging Raon’s genius, but it seems I was greatly mistaken. He was a monster beyond what he imagined.
‘The process of creating the sound and even the method of incorporating aura into the sound were perfect.’
Raon created a sound using the friction sound of the sword technique and the sound of the sword after it is drawn, and even incorporated aura into the sound. It was an incredible achievement for someone who had done it for the first time.
‘If that sound contained murderous intent, it would have been dangerous.’
Raon was unable to contain aggression in his sound and aura. He just seemed to be focused on making a sound that contained an aura. Of course, he was so shocked by that alone that he wanted to sit down.
“hmm… … .”
Roen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Raon, who frowned slightly.
‘Are you thinking about why it didn’t work?’
Raon seemed to be wondering why there was no aggression in the sound.
‘That’s natural.’
Since I haven’t seen it attack with sound, it would be even stranger if that was the case. I was amazed at the desire for achievement to think about the next thing after committing such a huge task.
‘I’m sure I can do it alone.’
Raon has the qualities of a great master who can create martial arts on his own. He would have figured out on his own how to put murderous intent into sound, but he wanted to speed up that time and give him a chance to make something better.
Roen looked at Raon who was tilting his head and smiled as if he had decided on something.
* * *
“Hmm.”
Raon quenched his appetite while looking at Jecheon Sword.
‘It’s a shame.’
He clearly sent his sword to Loen with the intention of attacking, but that intention was not conveyed through the sound. It was just a loud sound filled with aura.
‘It’s much harder than a sword.’
Unlike swordsmanship, which has a clear medium, it was very difficult to attach an aura to the sound of moving in a split second. My mind became complicated as I had to include not only the auror but also the will to attack.
‘But it’s not impossible.’
Since we succeeded in capturing the aura in the sound on our first attempt, it will be possible to capture the aura in the sound and target the vestibular organ in the ear, even if it takes some time.
‘If I make it using the structure I have… … .’
If you mix the cartoon ball, the ring of fire, and the Muhak phrases you have learned so far, you will be able to create a Muhak that will capture the sound as you want, even if it takes a little time.
“Lord Budan.”
When Raon decided on a goal and was about to move, Loen approached. His voice and eyes were visibly shaking, as if he was embarrassed.
“That’s amazing. To be honest, I had no idea it would be successful from the beginning.”
“Well, it’s only half a success.”
“You are talking about the will to attack.”
“yes. “It’s as difficult as when I first learned the heavy sword.”
I nodded. It’s not that I ignored the art of sound, but it seemed like it would take a lot more time and effort than I thought.
“It is not easy to capture aura in sound. You will need a structure that will act as a medium instead of a substance. Miss Yua, please come this way too.”
Roen called Yua, who was standing blankly, and made him stand next to him.
“I was going to tell Yua, so now would be a good time.”
He lifted his finger and grinned.
“What I’m going to tell you is the Muhak called Hyangeumgong. “If you learn it properly, you will be able to spread sound naturally like scent.”
“Are you saying you’re telling me too?”
Raon widened his eyes. It was understandable that Roen would teach martial arts to Yua, whom he considered his student, but she never thought that he would teach it to her as well.
“of course.”
“why… … .”
Even if they belong to the same family, it is extremely rare for an individual to reveal their military knowledge unless they are a disciple or blood relative. I also had no idea that Roen, who had lived as an assassin, would teach martial arts so easily.
“Hmm, if you ask that question, it’s not easy to answer. “I can’t say everything I think.”
Roen scratched his chin and smiled.
“But to be honest, Raon is someone you enjoy watching and want to help.”
“yes?”
My mouth opened automatically at the unexpected answer.
“A little while ago, when you couldn’t put your will into words, Raon, you thought about what the problem was and what to do about it, right?”
“yes.”
Raon nodded. As Roen said, he was worried about why his voice did not contain his will.
“Most other people would have asked me first rather than finding out how to do it themselves. In such a situation, it is very rare to try to find the answer on your own. That’s why I wanted to help.”
Roen’s expression was calm. There was no visible shaking like a moment ago.
“Can I listen to it too? “Roen?”
“Sure. “I was planning to let Miss Yua know soon.”
Since Yua was also learning the Auror exercises that Roen had taught her, it seemed like she wanted to teach them to her this time as well.
“I hope you can further develop your sound and create sounds just for the two of you.”
Roen smiled and sang Hyangeumgong’s song.
“Whoop!”
Julius let out a heavy breath when he saw the three people gathered together affectionately.
“Everyone has forgotten about me… .”
* * *
When lunch was almost over, Runaan came out of the room and headed to the Slyon family’s training hall.
“Oh, Runaan!”
Lorcan Slion, who was watching the swordsmen’s training in the training hall, rushed over as soon as he saw Runaan.
“You returned yesterday, are you planning to start training right away? “You can take some rest today.”
Rokhan was planning to finish training quickly and enjoy snack time with Runaan, so he blocked the path with a nervous expression.
“no.”
Runaan shook his head plainly. Her eyes were fierce, but there was a strong will within them.
“I also prepared ice cream?”
“Ugh… .”
At the word ice cream, a small crack appeared in Runaan’s stern expression.
“Well, that still doesn’t work. “I will eat ice cream later.”
After thinking for a moment, Runaan covered her ears and turned her back.
“Huh, I can’t believe you even refused ice cream… .”
Rokhan let out a sigh. When Runaan refuses ice cream, it means that it is an emergency situation. It meant there was something big wrong.
“W-what’s going on! “Are you in pain somewhere?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
“But why!”
“Because I have to become stronger.”
Runaan tightened her mouth as she grabbed the snowflake sword on her waist.
“hmm… .”
Lorcan bit his lip. I felt like I knew why Runaan refused even ice cream and wanted to train.
‘It’s probably because of that damn Raon.’
It was clear that Runan had said that she wanted to become stronger in order to keep up with Raon’s shocking growth.
“Runan. Raon guy. No, it’s honestly difficult to catch up with Raon. It’s best to let go of such a monster and go your own way… … .”
“What are you talking about?”
Runaan tilted his head.
“Ra-don’t you say you’re training by refusing snacks to keep up with Ra-on?”
“no.”
“Then why… … .”
Lorcan’s mouth opened in an unexpected situation.
“To protect my dad, mom, and people.”
Runaan said in a calm voice that she wanted to protect everyone in the family.
“You’re protecting me?”
“huh. I will protect everyone. “Don’t ever touch it.”
She nodded, clasping her hands together.
“Huh!”
Lorcan sat down, clutching his chest. Otherwise her heart would have jumped out.
“Ugh, I’m back! “My good daughter is back!”
It felt like my daughter’s attention, which had been taken away from Raon, had returned to her family, and I was so excited that I felt like I could fly in the sky.
“Raon! You guy! In the end, our daughter is not you, but me… … .”
“Why do you keep calling me Raon?”
“Yes? Joe, are you okay?”
Lorcan’s eyes widened at hearing the word for the first time.
“What does jonjal mean?”
“It means he’s damn handsome. There is a similar saying that he is extremely handsome.”
Runan explained with a calm face how handsome he was. Ensia’s cramming training was immediately effective.
“So Raon… … .”
“huh. “Raon is extremely handsome, so fucking handsome.”
“Well, what about that…” … .”
Lorcan bit his lip. I wanted to refute it, but I couldn’t get the words out. Even men who saw Raon this time could not help but say that he was handsome.
‘no! doesn’t care!’
It doesn’t matter whether Raon is handsome or not. I was satisfied that Runaan’s interest had returned.
“Runan, why did you suddenly think of protecting your family?”
Rokhan asked a new question to draw Runaan’s attention back to himself. But that wasn’t something that should have been said.
“Jjal Raon said. You have to protect your family with your own hands. “I will definitely protect Dad and Mom.”
Runaan nodded his head loudly and went to the corner of the training hall and started swinging his sword.
“uh… .”
Rokhan gaped as he looked behind Runaan.
“Well, then my interest hasn’t returned… .”
Raon: Did you say that because of that damn guy?
I thought it was good to have interest back. She thought she was tired of Ra-on too, but that wasn’t the case. Runan was now a believer who followed Raon’s words.
“Oh my gosh!”
Rokhan screamed to the sky.
“I am going to die.”
He grabbed the sword with a blank expression, as if he had given up on everything.
“I’m just going to throw it away!”
“Aaaah!”
“Stop it!”
“Hold it now!”
The swordsmen of the Slyon family who were watching the situation quickly rushed over and grabbed Lorcan’s limbs.
“Let go! I can’t live like this! Cute and lovely Runan has been influenced by such a scoundrel!”
The prosecutors were swept away by Lorcan’s gesture of anger.
“Ma’am! “Call your wife!”
“yes!”
There was only one person who could stop this, so the prosecutor closest to the mansion ran like crazy.
“Good job.”
Runaan muttered the words she had learned from Encia and swung her sword.
* * *
A week has passed since Raon learned Hyangeumgong.
The art of Hyangeumgong became the line between sound, aura, and killing power, and a low-level swordsman could reach a point where he could stop an opponent’s movements with just the sound of a swordsmanship.
Raon assumed the stance of swordsmanship and then used the energy of a cartoonist. He slightly raised his wrist, which was holding the sword, and pulled out the Jecheon sword.
Wooooow!
As the friction occurs between the blade and the sheath, a thunderous sound spreads out.
Fuuuuuuu!
The waves of sound that spread out in a split second caused a loud tremor in the lake ahead. As if magic had exploded, the center of the lake was deeply dug out and blue water flowed out like a fountain.
“Hmm… .”
Raon narrowed his eyes as he watched the water droplets pouring down as a shower.
‘It’s not enough.’
I was somewhat familiar with the sound ball, which contains aura and killing power in the sound, but development of it was slow.
-Whoa, that’s enough! What on earth is lacking?
Lars came out, covering his ears as if it was noisy.
-I can’t sleep for a week because of you, so please stop!
‘sorry.’
Raon nodded to Lars. Even though he was a tenant, he had to protect what he had to protect, so he immediately apologized.
– In my view, your current skills are similar to those shown by the old man. Time will resolve the difference in skill level, so stop and get some sleep!
‘ah! okay.’
I clapped my hands and held the sword again.
-No! I said I understand! Why are you holding the sword?
‘I want to know what’s lacking.’
-You devil!
I left Ras’ scream behind and pulled out my sword. The sound that advanced while causing friction split the lake’s waves diagonally using the power of the Auror.
‘it’s okay!’
By mixing the sound of the sound ball with the sound of the quick sword, the sound and aura moved faster.
I smiled involuntarily because, for the first time, I had succeeded in incorporating the techniques of swordsmanship into sound.
– This is crazy!
Lars also felt it and opened his mouth.
-Uh, how could it be so fast… …
‘You gave me a hint.’
-uh?
‘Differences in skill level. Since I am more skilled in swordsmanship than Hyangeumgong, I gave more emphasis to swordsmanship rather than sound.’
This time, I increased the speed of the sound and aura by picturing the image of shooting out sword energy at high speed. I achieved some success thanks to the hint that Ras gave me regarding skill level and the previous words that all you need to do is use imagery well.
“thanks.”
Raon grinned and gestured to Lars.
-Ah, King Bon… … The King’s snout… …
Lars hit himself in the mouth and sank to the floor.
‘Then next.’
Now that I had succeeded in incorporating the skill of a quick sword into the sound, I held the sword again, this time to add heaviness.
“young master.”
As I was about to draw my sword, I heard Judiel’s voice from behind me.
“I brought snacks.”
With those words, a tray was placed on the table, and there was a thin piece of paper under the plate containing a piece of cake.
“thank you.”
Raon wiped his hands with a handkerchief and sat down at the table. He made a cup of tea and opened the booklet underneath.
“Dogoe was originally Sieghardt’s direct descendant and a member of the Senate, but now his affiliation is ambiguous.”
Judiel calmed his eyes.
“iffy?”
“yes. I didn’t know this because it happened a long time ago, but it is said that they negotiated a deal with the head of the family and gained their freedom. Now he bears Sieghardt’s name, but he does not belong to Sieghardt.”
“So, I roamed the continent as I pleased.”
Raon nodded as he flipped through the booklet. Do-goe was a man with outstanding skills in gambling, drinking, and martial arts, and he traveled around the continent and left behind numerous eccentric stories.
‘Samyak is the best among them.’
The most famous one was Samyak, which was a promise that any wish would be granted if Dogoe was recognized for gambling, drinking, and martial arts, which he was confident in.
Many people tried, but they all failed, and Dogoe was still looking for someone to make fun of.
“I didn’t know there was such a monster in Sieghart.”
I have no idea why someone who left the family came back. That information wasn’t even written in the booklet.
“Dogoe is the type of person who doesn’t talk about his own affairs, so that hasn’t been revealed. “He’s a wandering person by nature, but he’s been staying here for quite some time.”
“I know why. “There is a hukou who brings money to me on a regular basis, so where would I want to go?”
Raon chuckled. If you have a good elf who visits you every paycheck, no, whenever you have money, and gives you money, you won’t want to go anywhere else.
“Master, are you planning to have a three-way match with Dokae?”
“okay. “I’m going to have to come back because I’ve been torn apart a lot.”
“Gambling is gambling, but Dogoe is a very strong drinker. “I understand that you have never drank alcohol, but if you use Aura to make him sober, he will definitely notice.”
Judiel frowned as if he was worried.
“Don’t worry about that. “Because I never get drunk.”
Raon waved his hand. This confidence is not really because it is strong against alcohol.
‘Because there is a ring of fire.’
The ring of fire has the effect of putting the body and mind in optimal condition at any time. Since even Glenn has not been able to confirm that he has learned the Ring of Fire, it is impossible for Dogae to notice the Ring of Fire.
‘Alcohol is not a problem.’
The drinking match between himself, whose body continues to be purified by the power of the ring of fire, and Dokai, whose drunkenness is gradually accumulating, is no different from the one that has already been decided.
Gambling is also a hobby. No, because there was a demon lord, I couldn’t lose even if I wanted to.
‘The real problem is… … .’
Uneducated.
In the third bet, Muhak, you must be acknowledged by him to be able to tell Do-goe your wish.
‘It’s not enough.’
I put down the teacup and got up. Gambling has Las, alcohol has Ring of Fire, but Muhak has no method. The best way to develop it is through training.
Raon approached the lake again and pulled out his sword. The roar that erupted from the silver blade crushed the center of the lake.
Judiel bowed his head at Raon and quietly took a step back.
* * *
Three weeks later.
Raon was still standing in front of the lake. He looked down at the lake without moving for a while, as if admiring the scenery.
He nodded as if he had made up his mind and placed his hand on the sword. The moment Raon’s eyes caught sight of this strangeness, his hands flowed like clouds.
Slurp.
The sword is drawn. It is not a creepy friction sound like before, but a smooth sound like cutting tofu and a refined sword sound go together with him.
The sharp blade released a clear sound to the world, but there was no change. There were only small waves on the lake with a calm wind.
Raon put the Jecheon sword back into its sheath without the slightest change in expression. That moment.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A huge explosion occurred in the center of the lake, sending a stream of water soaring that it reached the clouds.
“That’s it.”
Raon flicked the sheath of his sword and smiled. Today’s successful martial arts education is all about loyalty. It was a new art that used the condensation of sound in the application section of the Scent Ball to compress the sound containing the aura and make it explode loudly.
Thanks to training without sleep for the past three weeks, I succeeded in incorporating the techniques of swordsmanship into the martial arts of sound and became familiar with new techniques. His efforts were rewarded and his hands naturally gained strength.
-I’m really bored to death.
Lars billowed out from the bracelet like smoke. She glared upwards at her with slightly bloodshot eyes.
-Aren’t you tired of repeating the same thing every day?
‘It’s fun.’
I feel like I’m improving every day, so how can I get bored? It’s just fun
– Let’s go now! Whether it’s gambling or drinking, finish it quickly and offer ice cream to the King!
‘I was going to go anyway.’
Raon nodded. He may not be able to defeat Do-goe, but he is confident that he will be recognized. He walked towards the annex, carrying his outer clothes hanging on a chair.
-But where did all the money you saved up go? Don’t you need that money to gamble?
Lars tilted his head as if in doubt.
‘I put it in my wallet.’
-wallet? You don’t carry a wallet or anything like that, right?
‘I called you, will you come soon?’
-Gee, your wallet is coming? What crazy talk… .
“Ah, there he comes.”
Raon raised his finger and pointed toward the garden.
“Lord Budan!”
Dorian, who had gained a little weight while resting, was running towards me waving his hand.
“It’s over there. “My wallet.”
Raon grinned as he looked at Dorian’s stomach pouch.
-her… .
Lars shook his head as he looked at Raon casually calling someone to his wallet.
-Is this guy really human?
No matter how you look at it, it suits the Demon World… .
