Episode 435. Training (2)

Yuri, who was in a hurry as if she would leave the Gol tribe’s territory at any moment.

But that was just his wish.

He and the Sowol Mercenary Corps were still unable to leave the Gol Tribe’s territory even the next day.

The first reason was that I had not yet received payment for this commission.

What was the most important reason why Yuri sought out the Goljok?

It was to fit a sword that would be used right away.

However, for various reasons, Yuri had not yet received the sword she could use.

Moreover, his black master, Do-cheol, promised to personally forge it for him.

I couldn’t even urge him, because I didn’t know if the capricious old man would suddenly change his words and say he didn’t want to do it, so I had no choice but to wait quietly.

And the second reason why Yuri’s group couldn’t leave.

That was because May had called.

“Are we all here?”

Not only Yuri, but the rest of the group gathered together at May’s call.

Then Gunther asked May.

“Is it okay for you to wander around like this?”

Contrary to the Masters’ words that it would be difficult for her to get out of bed for a while, May was moving around very well.

However, judging by his slightly pale complexion, it seems he is not completely healed yet.

May smiled faintly at Gunther’s question, which was filled with a little worry.

“Don’t worry. If I couldn’t even handle this level of internal injury, I would have died hundreds of times over already.”

As serious as her internal injuries were, there were many instances where she had been in a worse state than this before reaching her current state.

Even back then, I gritted my teeth and moved.

Now that I am receiving high-quality medicine and elixir from the Goljok, as well as treatment from Gayeon and Seojun, I can’t even say that I am overdoing it.

May continued speaking, lightly dismissing Gunther’s worries.

“I heard from Tessya. She’s leaving soon?”

Her question drew everyone’s attention back to Yuri.

As the leader, it is his authority to decide the mercenary group’s schedule.

Yuri opened her mouth indifferently at the gazes of the members who said, “You answer.”

“But?”

“Your sword is not only finished, but the weapons that the other children were supposed to receive are not finished either… so there’s still plenty of time left until you leave, right?”

“Is that so?”

“Can you give me that time?”

Yuri tilted her head slightly and asked indifferently.

“Time? Suddenly? Why?”

“I was thinking of giving you some training.”

“Training?”

At Yuri’s brief question, May looked over the members of the Sowol Mercenary Corps.

Not only his niece Teresia, but all the other children were equally talented.

No, this is beyond outstanding, it’s mind-boggling how they managed to gather all these guys.

‘Even the girl from the least talented Sing family is not inferior to the direct descendants of other prestigious families.’

Now, children as young as 21 are aiming for the 5th dan, not to mention the 4th dan.

And it’s really amazing that these kids are all gathered together as one group.

He was also very proud of those children, who were like his juniors from the cradle.

However, the reason why there seemed to be a shortage of children who could shine brightly in other places was because of the huge sun called Yuri.

His niece, Teresia, also knew this fact.

[Auntie… Can I ask you a favor?]

Teresia, who had never once brought up a regret to me before, suddenly asked me a favor.

And surprisingly, the request was to guide himself and the Sowol Mercenary Corps.

‘It’s impossible for Tess, who has been taking care of my physical condition, not to know, and yet she asked me for such a favor… ‘

That means Theresia is not in the mood to ask for such a favor.

also…….

[Now I know very well that the gap between us has widened to the point where it’s hard for me to even keep up with Yuri’s back. Maybe from now on, I’ll just follow in that guy’s footsteps for the rest of my life. No, I definitely will. But still… … !]

It also meant that he was truly earnest.

[I want to let you know. I’m still chasing after you… You may not be able to see it, but I’m still chasing you from somewhere you can’t see… At least I want you to know that.]

Teresia knew all too well that Yuri, who had already overtaken her in the past, was running forward at a terrifying speed.

I didn’t even think about reaching out and calling out to her because I just couldn’t bring myself to chase her.

So even in the labyrinth of sin.

Even in the war in Belgrade.

And even in this situation where the Baekgeom Byeongdan is attacking the Gol tribe.

I’ve always just watched Yuri shoulder everything on her own.

In that reality, Teresia had this thought.

In the future, there will be less and less things he can do to help Yuri.

There will inevitably come a time when his existence becomes a burden to Yuri.

That’s why he says that the only choice he can make is to do his best to ease the burden on Yuri, even if it means becoming a burden to him.

So after much thought, Teresia finally managed to talk to May, and her aunt responded to her niece’s sincerity.

“Okay, training. I’d like to give you guys some training.”

“Hmm… … .”

Yuri’s eyes slightly turned red at May’s story.

I roughly understood what he was trying to say, and it wasn’t that I particularly disliked him, but he seemed to be feeling a bit uneasy about something.

May snickered at Yuri’s reaction, who couldn’t simply accept the favor as a favor.

“You still haven’t figured out the clue to the divine sword?”

“… … .”

The glass flinched.

May’s smile grew wider when she saw this.

“Even if I’m not as good as Uncle Yohan, I can at least give him some light training… … .”

“… … .”

“What do you think? Are you willing to receive my training?”

At May’s question with a smile on her face, Gunther and his friends who were already sitting next to her glared at Yuri.

The training that May talks about.

They knew that it was just advice, but it was actually valuable advice that couldn’t be traded for a thousand pieces of gold.

If not now, then when will you listen to the advice of the master known as the Shadow Queen?

This was an opportunity that had to be seized.

Yuri let out a question mixed with a sigh at the gazes of her friends who were asking her what she was doing instead of nodding right away.

“…It’s free, right?”

Meanwhile, May laughed in a way that was both absurd and amusing, seeing Yuri checking.

“of course.”

“Okay. Please take good care of me, trainer lady.”

As Yuri and May came to that conclusion, the faces of those around them immediately brightened.

* * *

The training that May promised to give began with sparring.

The method where the remaining five people, excluding Yuri, spar with Mei at the same time.

Teresia expressed her concern at this.

“Are you okay? If you push yourself too hard and your internal injuries worsen or something… … .”

“You asked me for a favor and now you’re worried?”

“…sorry.”

“Haha, I’m joking. And don’t worry. I also need to do some light rehabilitation training since my body has recovered to some extent.”

That meant that facing the five of them was nothing more than a light exercise for May.

At this, Teresia put her worries aside.

‘If you say so, there shouldn’t be a problem.’

If it seemed unreasonable given May’s personality, she would have definitely refused.

If she wants to do it, I can do it.

So Teresia put her worries aside and began to focus on the present situation.

‘It started because I asked you to do it.’

So, more than anyone else, I had to focus on the present moment and do my best.

That would be a way to express gratitude to her aunt for granting her request.

While Teresia was raising her fighting power, the others were also boiling with fighting spirit.

‘These days, Yuri gets hurt all the time… … .’

‘We must use this opportunity as a springboard for growth.’

‘hungry.’

He has been with Yuri since the cradle, and has spent more time with her than anyone else.

Although they didn’t show it, their feelings were not much different from Teresia’s.

The gap between Yuri and me is widening.

A reality that cannot be pursued even though one knows it.

They too were increasingly feeling that one day they would become a burden to Yuri.

As their thirst for improving their skills grew, May’s offer was like a drop of rain in a dry drought.

So, the three of them also showed considerable serious enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, Julia, although not as enthusiastic as Teresia and others, was also quite welcoming of this opportunity and was loosening up.

That was when.

“How long are you going to make me wait?”

The atmosphere among the five changed significantly at May’s provocation, which involved holding a wooden staff instead of a spear.

At the same time, their formation was naturally formed.

The leader is Poppy.

Second is Gunther and third is Arin.

Julia at the very back.

Finally, Teresia took her place a little further away from the line.

A strange light flashed across May’s eyes as she saw their formation.

‘This isn’t the skill of someone who has only practiced for a day or two.’

Unlike the Sing family’s child who naturally formed a formation with his good brain, the other four formed a formation out of habit.

The most efficient and powerful optimal formation that has been practiced for a long time.

May waved her flag at them.

“I’m going to do a diagnosis, so come at full speed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Sowol mercenary group members rushed towards May like lightning.

And at the same time, their formation began to become vibrant, as if it were alive.

Poppy is a shield, a wall, and a hammer.

Gunther, who is always looking for an opening and cornering his opponent.

Teresia, who acts as a lubricant that smoothly connects the flow of all attacks.

Arin, who constantly provides support, turns crises around, and creates opportunities.

And even Julia, who fills in the empty space of the attack.

The five of them launched a fierce attack that relentlessly attacked May.

But the passing of those five powerful people didn’t even touch May.

May Winchester, swimming through the onslaught so calmly.

She was so relaxed that it made you wonder if these were the movements of someone who had not yet fully recovered from her injury.

On the other hand, as time passed, sweat began to form on the foreheads of the five people who were waging a fierce attack.

And before long, the decision was made.

Bam-!

Poppy, who had been hit in the groin by a wooden stick, fell to her knees so easily.

Pubbug-.

Then, Gunther, Poppy, and Teresia were hit by the rotating pole, drawing afterimages, and were thrown back, rolling on the ground.

Finally, Arin, who gets hit on the back and rolls forward with a good laugh.

With that, the five-man assault ended in vain.

“Gyaot!”

“Ugh!”

“Ouch!”

“Huh!”

“hungry…….”

Groans were heard everywhere.

A strange sight flashed through Yuri’s eyes as she watched from afar.

‘Oh? Is that okay?’

How on earth did he hit it?

Even though they were only hit by a wooden stick, the five people were unable to get up easily.

Even Poppy, who would be sad if told to come in second place in terms of matt.

‘I’ll have to keep a close eye on it.’

There’s probably some secret to it.

Yuri’s eyes lit up as she thought it would be a useful skill to learn.

Meanwhile, May opened her mouth while looking down at the children who were groaning continuously.

“Lie down and listen.”

May, who had been feeling lucky, continued her explanation.

“You all seem to be quite experienced for your age. And you are also well-versed in how to deal with strong opponents.”

It couldn’t be otherwise, as Theresia, Arin, Poppy, and Gunther have fought against Yuri countless times.

That experience was no ordinary one.

But that was precisely their problem, in May’s view.

“Your problem is that you are too accustomed to dealing with the strong in numbers.”

“yes?”

When Teresia asked again as if she didn’t understand, May asked her a question in return.

“When was the last time you fought and won against someone stronger than you, Tessya?”

“That’s… … .”

“No, I misspoke. When have you ever gone up against a stronger opponent than you alone, instead of with a group of people? Have you ever thought of defeating a strong opponent by yourself?”

“… … !”

At that question, Teresia and the others looked shocked.

Come to think of it, that’s what happened.

In the past, I used to have one-on-one sparring sessions with Yuri.

But after the gap started to widen too much, most of the sparring style became a fight between the majority and the majority.

Was that why?

It has become so commonplace now for a majority to take on a strong person.

May said as she looked at the shocked people.

“I guess you guys will have to spar with me one-on-one.”

These kids were already familiar with dealing with the strong in numbers.

So what May was trying to teach them was the feeling of fighting against a strong person on their own and winning.

We need to awaken that sense in these children that they have long forgotten.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement with May’s diagnosis.

Meanwhile, as everyone else left, Yuri approached them, shaking her shoulder.

“Okay, so is it my turn now?”

But May lightly raised her hand and blocked the glass.

“I’m sorry, but I won’t be sparring with you.”

“Huh? Why?!”

May shrugged her shoulders at the surprised Yuri.

“I guess my current physical condition isn’t up to par with you. And I didn’t plan on parrying you from the start.”

“…Isn’t this discrimination?”

“You said you would give me a clue about the Divine Sword, when did you say we would spar?”

“… … ?”

“I think this method would work better for you than sparring right now.”

“In what way?”

May answered Yuri’s question with a smile.

“Debate.”
