“Isn’t that really too much?”
Julius pouted and kicked a rock on the floor.
“What if you leave without giving me time to say hello properly?”
I frowned as I thought about Rektar and Muston, who had informed me too late and had literally just said hello and left.
It was a short time, but perhaps because I had become attached to the two people, a feeling of regret washed over me like a wave.
“hey.”
Julius gestured to Yua, who was finishing her training and straightening her clothes.
“Why are you so quiet? “Aren’t you sad that Rektar left?”
“It’s a shame.”
Yua nodded softly.
“But there must be circumstances. “I never heard you tell a bad lie.”
“Are you telling a bad lie?”
“huh. “He was calm even though his heart was pounding.”
She said that she was certain that there were circumstances and that it could not have been helped.
“I’m not saying you two lied either. It’s just a pity… .”
Julius let out a long sigh.
‘Because it’s been a while since I thought of my grandfather.’
The more I got closer to Rektar, the more I felt like I was practicing swordsmanship with my late grandfather, so I couldn’t help but regret our quick separation.
“so do i. Still, we’ll be able to meet again next time. “I have to endure it.”
Yua smiled brightly and walked toward the annex’s garden.
“Where?”
“It’s dinnertime, but you’re not coming. “I’m going to pick you up.”
After telling Julius to go in first, I ran out of the annex.
‘If I don’t go see him in person, he always skips food.’
Raon is a person who forgets that he has to eat when he focuses on training.
If I leave it like this even though I’m not hungry, I’ll be training until night again.
“It really takes a lot of work… huh?”
As the toddler left the garden and turned towards the 5th training ground, a pouch fell from the sky.
It was a luxurious, scarlet-colored pouch the size of an adult man’s palm.
“what’s this?”
I tilted my head as I picked up the bag that had fallen on the ground. She looked up, but saw nothing.
‘What happened?’
There are no buildings or trees around, and there is no wind blowing, so I don’t know where this bag fell.
Thinking it was strange, I opened the scarlet pouch.
Inside the pocket were small compressed swords and armor, gloves and boots, various books and cooking utensils, and dozens of pineapples.
It was not an ordinary pocket, but a subspace pocket.
“hmm… .”
Yua closed her pocket and kept her mouth shut.
‘I need to find the owner of this.’
I wouldn’t know if it were an empty, ordinary pocket. Subspace pocket. If the pocket is full, the owner will definitely be looking for it.
Thinking that she had to tell Raon, she sped up and ran to the 5th training ground.
It’s good
When Yua opened the gymnasium door and entered, Raon was standing in the center of the gym reading an unknown book.
“young master!”
“Ah, toddler.”
Raon smiled slightly when he saw Yua.
“What brings you here at this hour?”
“What is happening! “I came here because I was worried you might skip meals again!”
Yua put her hands on her waist and wrinkled her nose.
“You told me to bring you too!”
“under… .”
Raon smiled lightly as she looked at Yua, who stuck out her chin.
“Why are you laughing!”
“sorry. “Because it’s cute.”
It’s been a while since I’ve seen Yua frown, and I naturally laughed because it was so cute.
He quickly apologized and put the Changgung Sword’s martial arts book in his arms.
-Ugh… .
As I was cleaning up my surroundings, Lars suddenly raised his head and sniffled.
-As expected, she’s a pineapple girl. That child is the only one who takes care of the king!
Lars gritted his teeth, saying that if he hadn’t been a toddler, he would have starved dinner again.
‘You’re taking care of me, not you?’
-Noisy. That’s what being kind is all about! Not your old man!
The guy waved his thick hand, demanding to know what Da-jeong meant.
‘To me, a person who gives me an uneducated book is sweeter than a meal.’
Raon slapped Lars’ stomach with the back of his hand and approached Yua, who stood majestically.
“okay. let’s go. After listening to you, I got hungry too… .”
I was about to ask Yua to go back to the annex when I saw the luxurious pouch that Yua was holding in her hand.
“What is that?”
“Oh, I guess someone lost this.”
“You lost it?”
“yes. I picked it up on my way here a little while ago… .”
Yua told Raon how she picked up this bag.
“Can you give me a moment?”
“yes! Please find the owner!”
“If I can.”
Raon took the pouch from YooA and examined it.
‘It’s a subspace pocket after all.’
When I looked inside the pocket, it was full of various items.
There were clothes that seemed to fit a toddler perfectly, armor, weapons such as swords, cooking utensils, and even pineapples.
‘It looks like something made for infants. But why can I feel mana even outside the pocket?’
Thinking it was strange, I put some aura in my pocket.
Hwaaaah.
A pale golden light bloomed from the outside of the pouch and the name Yua came to mind.
“uh? My Name?”
“I guess you are the owner.”
“yes? I’ve never received anything like this… .”
“It’s yours because it fell from above your head.”
“ah… .”
Yua opened her mouth wide as if she had no idea it was her pocket.
“That’s my opinion… .”
Raon smiled slightly as he returned the pouch to Yua.
“It seems like someone with a lot of affection gave it to me.”
* * *
When Raon was resting in his room after finishing his meal, two knocks were heard.
“Come on in.”
I knew who it was from the presence outside the door, so I told them to come in right away.
The door opened softly, and Sylvia came into the room carrying a small wooden armor.
“Can I come in for a moment?”
“You’re already in?”
“huh. “I asked just in case.”
Sylvia smiled and sat down on the chair next to the bed. The wooden armor she brought with her was placed on her table.
“Your room really never changes.”
She looked around the room and then sighed.
“You mean there is no change?”
“It’s just like your mom decorated you when you were a baby. There is no difference from when I was young. “Don’t you even want to decorate your room?”
“hmm… .”
Raon licked his lips and looked around the room.
There was a time when she was called Sunshine, and perhaps because of the name Raon, the room was a little too bright for her taste, but it wasn’t particularly bad.
“Not really. “Decorating a room is just a hassle.”
“Ha, my mom is so sad because I’m a boring son. “I’m glad I have Yua and Julius.”
Sylvia frowned, asking me to adjust sometimes.
“all right.”
Raon smiled slightly and nodded.
“So what brings you here? “Don’t talk during meal times.”
“Do you know what this is?”
Sylvia tapped the wooden armor on the table with her finger.
“Is it an elixir?”
Since most of what was contained in those wooden armors were elixirs, I naturally assumed that.
“that’s right. “It’s not an ordinary elixir either.”
Sylvia swallowed dry saliva and opened the lid of the wooden armor.
Inside were two small glass bottles, which contained a translucent milky liquid.
“hmm… .”
I opened the lid of the glass bottle. A faintly sweet scent passed the tip of her nose.
“A milky liquid with a sweet scent? This can’t be… .”
Raon looked at the glass bottle again and his chin trembled.
“that’s right. “It’s Fairy’s tears.”
“also… .”
It was as expected. The only elixir with this color and scent was Fairy’s Tears.
‘I can’t believe I actually got to see Fairy’s tears.’
Contrary to its name, Fairy’s tears had nothing to do with fairies.
Deep in the cave, untouched by human hands, the energy of heaven and earth gathered and condensed into a liquid. It was a top-class elixir that was said to allow one to live long and healthy life with just one drop.
“Why does your mother have this?”
“Lektar left it behind.”
“yes?”
Raon asked back and widened his eyes. She was honestly more surprised than when Fairy’s tears came out of her neck armor.
“Helen was cleaning up Rektar’s room when she found it lying in the corner. I wanted to give it back, but you already left… .”
Sylvia shook her head, saying that she had left behind an excessive gift.
“There was no letter or anything?”
“There was. “It’s nothing special, just thank you for making it a fun time.”
She showed me a small note. True to her word, it was written that she enjoyed it briefly.
“It was fun for us too… .”
Sylvia sighed, saying that she was the one who received a lot.
“It’s as you said.”
Raon nodded, looking at Sylvia biting her lip.
‘Just as Mom said, we received much more.’
Rektar taught everyone in the Gwangpungdae swordsmanship, helped them learn a little more about what kind of person Glenn was, and brought smiles to the faces of Sylvia and the children.
Fairy’s tears were a burdensome gift because she received much more than she gave.
“Raon.”
Sylvia adjusted her wooden armor and lowered her voice.
“yes?”
“This is my idea… .”
After hesitating for a while, she slowly opened her lips as if she had made up her mind.
“Rektar and your father might be related.”
Sylvia touched her dry lips with her fingers.
“I’m sure you’ve heard that it’s nothing to do with you, but that seems like a lie. “Every time I see Rektar, I think of your father.”
“Does it remind you of your dad?”
“Actually, I thought that from the first time I saw him. “I wonder if your father survived and came back when he was older.”
She let out a laugh. You might think she’s being ridiculous, but she’s serious, she whispered.
‘Come to think of it… .’
I remembered the first time Sylvia looked at Rektar’s face and was dumbfounded for a long time.
“Fairy’s tears made it clear. There must be a connection between Rektar and your father. “I can’t judge rashly, but there’s a high possibility that it’s a family member or relative.”
Sylvia frowned, saying otherwise there was no way she would leave such a precious elixir behind.
“I think so.”
Raon made eye contact with Sylvia and nodded.
“And you will tell me what your relationship is when you come back.”
“Really? I don’t think you’ll say anything… .”
“no. “He will let you know.”
Rektar’s eyes did not belong to a liar. He said he would explain it himself, so he will come back here and tell you the whole truth.
“Just wait a moment.”
-Raon.
When Raon smiled slightly and reassured Sylvia, Ras gave a serious look.
‘hmm?’
It was rare for cotton candy to make an expression like this.
‘What’s going on?’
I looked down nervously because I thought information about Rektar would come out.
-That liquid.
Lars quenched his appetite while looking at Fairy’s tears.
‘uh… .’
-It’s sweet and seems like it will quench your thirst, so try it in your mouth right now!
‘… .’
I was completely mistaken.
The only time Sikchung gets serious is when Sikchung does something… .
* * *
The next morning.
After memorizing all the martial arts books of Changgunggeom all night, Raon came out to the 5th training hall.
‘It’s much more difficult swordsmanship than I thought.’
I can see why Glenn decided to teach it himself.
Changgung Sword was not simply a high-level swordsmanship, but a super-elevated swordsmanship accompanied by enlightenment. Apparently, Glenn hoped that she would perfect the Spear Bow sword and attain the rank of Grand Master.
‘I’m just grateful for the great expectations.’
Not only did he teach me the techniques of swordsmanship, but he also gave me such an excellent swordsmanship book. Even the words of gratitude were not enough. The only way to repay him was to do my best to learn the speargun sword so that he would not be disappointed.
Slurp.
Raon pulled out the Jecheon Sword. I slowly unfolded all twenty-six pieces of the Changgung Sword, like a baby walking. Thanks to the ring of fire, the sword shape itself was not difficult to imitate, but of course it was impossible to capture the true meaning of the Changgung Sword within it.
‘He said to capture the sky.’
That’s also the sky I think of.
‘It’s the sky… .’
When I think about it, I think I looked at the sky a lot in my past life to relieve my frustration. Since Delus Robert was on a leash, he quenched his thirst by looking at the sky, which contains freedom itself.
On the other hand, the sky I saw in my current life had a sense of weight. As I looked at the solid sky that remained the same no matter where I looked, I made a resolution to become that way.
‘It is vast freedom and unchanging heaviness.’
It was a truly unsuitable combination, but there was nothing better to honestly express who I am now.
Raon closed his eyes and clenched his fists.
‘I need to capture both freedom and heaviness.’
The important thing when learning the martial arts of ascension is not to deceive yourself. Since both my past life and my current life were mine, it seemed like the right answer was to take both, not just one or the other.
‘Thanks to you two, I’ve learned so much.’
Because I was able to broaden my horizons through Glenn and Rektar’s teachings, I began to get a feel for how to learn the spear bow sword.
When Raon was about to start practicing Changgung Sword again, the door to the training room opened urgently. I thought they might be the leaders, but contrary to expectations, the person who entered the training hall was Dorian.
“Sir! “We’re in big trouble!”
Dorian let out a rough breath, his mouth covered in cookie powder, as if he had been eating cookies. They said it was urgent, but when I saw that, I couldn’t believe it.
“What’s going on? If you’re trying again to get an even number of supplies… .”
“Teoljeondae… .”
Raon thought it was no big deal and tried to practice again, but Dorian’s continued words made his arms stiffen.
“The iron pole is missing!”
