A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 17
Hell’s White Night (3)
To tell the truth, Harang’s physical strength could not be said to be very normal.
Although his achievements are outstanding for his age and he has shown the most unrivaled physical strength in this position, the other boys are also formidable.
Harang’s body had also become quite heavy, and his arm muscles were actually very weak due to the forceful pushing and throwing of the rock earlier.
But, so what?
‘You can only grow if you push your physical strength to the limit.’
Additionally, due to the nature of Harang growing through experience through duels, the current conditions of random duels are the best environment for growth.
‘It’s true that my physical condition is the best.’
Harang had a knack, but the trainees did not.
Physical strength is not everything in swordsmanship. In the end, physical abilities were merely auxiliary to support swordsmanship.
The most important thing is the swordsmanship itself.
But what if everyone except Harang is exhausted from the hellish physical fitness test and has his strength stored up for himself?
The story changes.
Wow!
I thought so.
“Ugh, I lost.”
When the first challenger declared defeat, Harang felt slightly tired. Trainees do not quit as easily as expected.
Even though they were obviously very tired and tired, the boys rushed at them with all their might. Thanks to this, Harang ended up wasting his stamina needlessly.
Fortunately, the second challenger was a trainee of the lowest rank, but he was also a monster who was called a genius among geniuses when he went out into the world.
It took Harang 10 minutes to defeat the second challenger.
The long-awaited third challenger.
‘This time, a formidable guy got caught.’
Did you say he was Dale Calladun, a trainee who came to the main family through ‘ascension’ from a collateral family?
Compared to Theon and Cheren, his skills were slightly inferior, but he was no easy opponent either.
‘Damn, I can’t believe I have to step forward now just to save time.’
Dale gritted his teeth and looked at Harang. Just before challenging him, Theon said a word to himself.
“Go and give me some time. “You can’t beat him with your skills anyway.”
Dale’s pride was hurt by the words of Theon, who was younger than him, but he had no choice but to accept it because he was trained at the same training center and was beaten all the time.
“The duel begins.”
“Ha!”
At the instructor’s signal, Dale rushed at Harang first.
When he had two duels with Harang, he deliberately stored up his stamina without engaging in another duel.
‘Who knows how to waste time! I’ll take you down here!’
Dale gritted his teeth and swung the wooden sword.
Kwagak! It collides with a wooden sword and makes a friction sound.
Although the use of sword techniques is prohibited, Dale’s sword techniques are fierce because he can use herbivores as much as he wants.
Here, the problem.
The reason Harang was struggling was not because it was difficult to defeat him, but because he had to save up as much stamina as possible for the next duel.
Use less force and suppress your opponent more efficiently.
how?
Boom!!
Dale’s fierce horizontal slash. It flew towards his neck, and of course Harang raised his wooden sword to defend himself.
As good as everyone could have expected.
At that time, an unusual thing occurred.
Tap!
Dale thought that Harang would defend himself, so he swung his sword with all his might, but Harang’s defense collapsed so easily!
Whilick! Harang’s wooden sword seemed to be pushed away and flying away, but Dale sensed something strange.
If I had penetrated his defenses, I should have hit his neck, but there was no such feeling!
Belatedly, I realized that Harang had avoided it by lowering his head.
He pretended to defend himself, took away the opponent’s strength, and bent down to release the wooden sword!
Moreover, he expertly pushed the hilt of his sword in the direction from which Dale’s sword strike came, spun it like a fan, and snatched it again in the air.
‘How, like that…’ … !’
Dale noticed the ridiculous circus-like stunt, but it was too late.
puck!
Poke Dale’s chest with a light stab! The duel ends with a stabbing.
“No, what is it?”
Lauren, who was watching the duel with her arms crossed on the podium, couldn’t believe her eyes.
‘I just said that… … Is that something taught at Kaladun? It’s not? ‘That can’t be possible?’
There is no swordsmanship instructor who teaches the technique of letting go of the sword momentarily and using the opponent’s strength as a reaction to grab it again.
That was the kind of skill that could only be seen from a swordsman who had gone through countless battlefields.
There is no way a 7-year-old boy could have that kind of skill.
‘… … ‘He showed such skills in an instant simply through sense?’
her. Now I was speechless and had nothing else to say.
“Damn it, Zenjaang… … .”
He tried to prove his skills by defeating Harang himself, but he couldn’t even take the time.
Dale pursed his lips and lowered his head.
“… … “It’s useless.”
The sound of Theon clicking his tongue was heard from behind. Her pride was hurt by the words of a child younger than her, but he could not say anything.
“next.”
As Harang flicked his wooden sword, the trainees started to freak out. No one wanted to take the initiative. This is because participating and finishing when his stamina was low was the biggest opportunity to gain 20 points.
“Damn you, you cowards! “I challenge you to a duel!”
Of course, not everyone is yamsaengi.
All of them were trainees for the Kaladan family, so although they were young, there were quite a few children who were in the right spirit.
And usually, kids with that mentality were not easy opponents.
Compared to the previous duel, the time between swords increased dramatically, and Harang had to feel his body getting heavier.
On the contrary, trainees take on challenges while getting enough rest.
As the trainees rest, they become stronger and stronger, but Harang inevitably becomes weaker.
That’s the winning move Lauren Chagan was aiming for! What if one day, when Harang becomes weak, a high-ranking trainee challenges him?
“Huh, huh… … .”
After defeating the fifth challenger, Harang placed his wooden sword on the floor and bent his knees.
However, he did not kneel on the floor. That is absolutely not enough.
It was tantamount to declaring defeat to Lauren Chagan.
However, he closed his eyes and entered a state of extreme concentration.
Using the system’s protection to its full potential, I expanded my mind and gradually felt the energy of nature.
‘I felt something similar when I absorbed the inner sweet of Dangakhyang.’
The more mana accumulated in my body, the more I could feel the mana in the air. This was possible because Danggakhyang was a spiritual product filled with the energy of nature.
‘Draw the mana of nature… … Add the divine power of the silver dragon and store it in the second heart located in my altar.’
That is the secret behind ‘Silver Dragon God Qigong’.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … !!
Harang’s training uniform and hair fluttered, albeit slightly.
It’s so subtle that the trainees don’t notice it at all.
“… … for a moment. “That, really?”
However, when Lauren Chagan realized what it was, she had no choice but to jump up from her seat.
“Are you really saying that you are having a fortune-telling breakfast? Huh, haha.”
[I am reminded of the forgotten skill ‘Breath of Deep Meditation.’]
[Synchronization with skill ‘Silver Dragon Divine Qigong’ begins.]
In the game, the resource called ‘mana’ was common to everyone, but it was so limited and the amount of recovery was constant, so many skills could not be used at once.
That’s why we developed the skill to recover mana!
It was an original skill developed by Harang that allowed mana to recover twice as quickly as others by drawing it into the body by rotating it through breathing.
‘In order for an unmanned person to realize the fortune of fortune on his own, he would have to be at least 5 stars. ‘What on earth is that guy?’
A type of mana recovery method such as fortune telling is not something that can be learned just because someone teaches it. Some people realize it after reaching the 7th level, while others reach the level of the 5th level.
What emerges when extreme situations and talent come together is a technique called Ungi Josik.
Lauren couldn’t help but imagine something strange as the boy kept showing techniques that were only seen by experienced warriors.
‘I’m going crazy. Are guardians or spirit creatures pretending to be humans? ‘No, damn it, what was I thinking.’
Moreover, if Harang had truly transformed into a spirit being, there is no way Kal-El would not have noticed.
To the point where I even had such absurd imaginations, everything I saw of Harang made no sense one by one.
“… … “I will challenge you to a duel.”
Although I didn’t get enough rest, the duels kept coming.
Theon was the one who faced the worst challenge, his arms shaking and his legs feeling heavy.
In fact, it is safe to say that he was the strongest trainee among the 97 trainees, competing for first and second place, and aimed his wooden sword with almost all of his stamina recovered.
‘It’s really going as expected.’
Even though Harang was very tired and tired, he did not give up and picked up the wooden sword. As the situation progressed to this point, what was rather disturbing was Cheren, who was resting on the floor.
Thanks to Harang, she gained 5 points and was currently running at the top of the rankings. Quite a few trainees were watching Harang’s duel without moving, and the trainees who were supposed to be in the top ranks were deducted by 1 point for challenging Harang and losing, so she, who got 5 points and did nothing, became her top rank.
‘… … ‘Why are you doing this?’
It was an incomprehensible behavior for her. Does she feel the affection of her family now that she was adopted?
‘That kind of thing doesn’t apply to the immediate Kaladan.’
Family love?
Caladern is not a family that retains such beautiful emotions. Family members were rivals, objects that had to be killed.
Here, leaving Cheren alone and trampling on him is the wisest choice to increase his standing in the Harangi family.
‘really… … ‘Aren’t you stupid?’
But, it’s strange.
Even though Cheren was only a 9-year-old child, he could tell by seeing Harang’s way of speaking and acting like this.
That boy was neither stupid nor weak.
Still, there was only one reason for acting like that.
‘Because it’s strong.’
Because he was confident that he could handle everything with his own strength.
It was my first time feeling like this.
The feeling of being protected by the strong.
Rather, Cheren’s head felt hot because it was his first time feeling protected by his ‘family’.
Perhaps it was because I was a direct relative who could not grow up receiving love from my family since childhood, but this type of feeling was so unfamiliar to me.
‘What was I thinking… … .’
That sounds funny.
Family love? That can’t happen to Calathan.
‘There’s no way a 7-year-old child could even face Theon while being so exhausted.’
Theon is one of the few swordsmanship geniuses he admits. He can never win in such a tattered state, not even in perfect condition.
‘Then why did you intervene?’
Because of his foolish behavior, Harang will be thrown into the gutter even more than he was.
‘Of course. Because I learned that from my family. Because I said so. Because that’s right… … .’
But why?
Maybe it was because she was still young at 9 years old and not completely tainted by Kaladun, but she did not want to see Harang lose.
Even though she knows that it is a virtually impossible fight, even though she knows that it is best for her if Harang loses here and falls into the abyss.
Strangely enough… … Cheren wanted to see her Harang overcome.
“The duel begins!”
Harang and Theon aimed their swords at each other. Cheren couldn’t bear to see that, so she had no choice but to close her eyes.
