＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 90

Before the festival (4)

Thursday midnight. Under the colorful sky where fireworks are still exploding, a quiet lakeside in the old building of Endex.

I am waiting for someone.

No, someone had already arrived.

“what.”

Soliet wearing shorts and a T-shirt. She was lying on the grass right under the stone chair.

“Are you here?”

With the smartphone fixed in front of my eyes, my fingers are busy surfing the community.

“When did you come?”

“20 minutes ago.”

“… … “What are you doing here so early?”

“Because the scenery is nice.”

phut-! phut-!

Then fireworks exploded again. Soliette didn’t seem interested. She came here because she liked the scenery.

“Aren’t you going to the festival?”

“What is there to do…” … “What did you buy so much for?”

Solliet raised her face and widened her eyes.

“I robbed one person.”

I bought each type of festival food, including chicken, hotteok, bungeoppang, egg gamja, dakgalbi, tanghulu, etc.

“Would you like some too? “You have to feel the atmosphere.”

“… … it’s okay.”

Soliet put down her smartphone. She got up, brushed the grass off the back of her head, and stretched. After putting only the raw potatoes in my mouth, I gathered the food together and put it down.

“Let’s go right away.”

Today is the day to learn martial arts from her.

“Is martial arts really enough?”

“uh.”

Arcne’s martial arts. I mean, the way she moves her body. I plan to watch it and learn.

It’s not that it’s not, I’ve seen her from the future use an absolute sword, but I’ve never seen her use martial arts.

Why?

At that time, Soliette stood still and only swung her sword. Nevertheless, she was the only living creature that could endure more than three sums.

It’s real.

At least not in my memory.

“Can you teach me from the basics? “Martial arts that can serve as a framework.”

“The most basic? “What do you mean by killing a monster with your bare fists?”

“It was in a state of dispel back then.”

“… … what. Usually, the first step is the step method, and the next is the body method. “Arcne’s martial arts is based on this new method and foot method.”

I’ve heard of it.

I’ve only heard of it.

“Footing is literally a way to move your feet. “The circulation of magical energy in the lower body is important.”

“Magic circulation?”

“yes.”

“… … “After all, isn’t it a one-to-one line?”

I asked back suspiciously. Solliet retorted, her face becoming stern.

“Martial arts is something you learn from a young age. At least our Arcne martial arts techniques have nothing to do with one-to-four lines.”

“okay?”

Then, I too became passionate about learning.

Before the return, when Solliet had already broken off from her family and abandoned everything in Arcne, it was an unheard of word.

“Tell me.”

“yes. The basis of footwork is the circulation of magical energy in the lower body. “Magic energy must be circulating when you walk, run, sit, and even when you sleep.”

“… … “Can you show me what that cycle is?”

I prepared SZX-9500.

Of course, even the SZX-9500 cannot see through the human body. However, the flow of magical power within the human body can be observed at a glance.

“yes.”

Soliet increased magical power in her lower body.

“… … “Umm.”

Certainly not a one-to-one line. Even without lines, magical energy just naturally circulates through the lower body.

It is similar to “embodiment,” but it is different in that “order” exists in the magic power. Because my Danjeon is just pumping out magic power indiscriminately.

“I understand. The cycle ends here. “What next?”

“fix. “It’s about holding on to it.”

Soliet tightened her thighs. At that moment, her magic was captured in her muscles.

I put my eyes on her legs. She nodded as she observed it closely.

“That’s right. “It’s definitely different.”

“If you add a line to this, it becomes like this.”

A ‘line’ appeared clearly. The magic particles caught in the muscles stuck to the lines and glowed together. Like a leaf clinging to a tree branch.

“Of course, this art becomes even stronger when the magic body is turned on… … “Isn’t it too close?”

“uh? ah.”

I quickly took a couple of steps back. I almost smelled flesh.

“Sorry. even I did not know.”

“It doesn’t matter. Anyway, if you learn the walking method like this, your steps will become faster.”

Soliet suddenly took a side step, a crab step. That thing where you take one step left and right.

“Look.”

Pasasasasak——

The crab’s steps became incredibly fast. Heat even rose on the ground.

“oh… … .”

I was impressed. Soliet, who stopped moving, nodded.

“It looks like you’ve never really learned anything.”

“of course. So far… … “I was a beggar.”

Well, this explanation will suffice. Because you are actually a beggar.

Whether it’s magic, martial arts, or academics, I’ve never received any systematic education.

“But it has such a rigid body.”

“ah… … Rigid body?”

Instead, there is one thing I learned systematically.

“Embodiment” taught by teacher Theia Itsil. She taught me embodying and danjeon breathing techniques, even analyzing ancient treatises.

“then. “I want to try it too?”

“yes. Try it. slowly.”

First, let the magic flow into your lower body. Up to this point, it is not much different from “embodiment.” Because my Danjeon pumps magical power throughout my body like my heart 24 hours a day.

Next is ‘fixing’.

When you feel like the magic power is mixing and circulating between the muscle bundles, hold on tight.

In this state, take side steps like a soloist.

Pa-ba-ba-ba-

At first it wasn’t that fast and there was a bit of buffering, but after a few times I got used to the steps.

As a result.

Pa-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-!

I succeeded in roughly following along. The road surface wasn’t burned, but it was moderately scorched.

“how is it.”

I looked back at Soliet.

“… … .”

Solliet said nothing.

Her eyes looking at me were foreign. The pupils suddenly became empty.

What’s wrong? It’s so bloody for no reason.

Huh. I cleared my throat and asked back.

“why?”

Solliet swallowed.

“I just heard from you… … .”

He nods his head before he even opens his mouth.

“I saw a piece of genius.”

“… … uh?”

To me, it was a ridiculous statement.

I heard you looked talented last time, but is this part of a genius? Has your level risen?

“… … .”

Soliette did not add any more. Likewise, he seemed speechless. Probably for different reasons than mine.

“… … “You are a genius.”

In terms of talent, Solliet can be considered the pinnacle of the 300-year history of the Arcne family.

“no. “It took me a week to learn this walking method.”

“How old were you?”

“Six years old.”

“Who are you kidding?”

I’m just following her, and my limits are clear. As your level of martial arts or swordsmanship increases, not only will you need the assistance of a ‘demon body’, but the capacity of your ‘notepad’ will eventually become clogged.

“You’re making fun of me. Please try again.”

Soliet opened her eyes wide. Big enough to be a bit burdensome. What kind of baseball is this?

“It’s burdensome.”

“This is how you would react if you saw a diamond lying on the street.”

“I wasn’t lying around on the street.”

“Do it quickly. “It hurts my eyes.”

Soliet frowned.

I followed the steps again.

Pabababat-!

He succeeded more elegantly than before, and Solliet’s eyes blinked.

“I can see it too. That aspect is brilliant. Are you really not interested in learning swordsmanship? “Arcne will also welcome you.”

“You just work hard. “You are the greatest talent in Arkne’s history.”

Before returning, she abandoned Arcne. She perfected her own absolute sword in return for it, but she shouldn’t have.

She should have stayed in Arcne.

“What are you talking about again? “Don’t act like you don’t know.”

Solliet made up her face.

“what. “You’re the best talent.”

A person who can perfect the fundamentals of Arcne’s swordsmanship.

A talent that can break through extremes.

That’s Soliet.

“I guess you saw my father’s interview? “That’s bullshit.”

“Why did I interview your father…” … .”

… … Soliet. You can reach Arcne’s extreme. You can achieve feats that even the ancestors of your family could not achieve.

For a moment, a melodious tone echoed in my ears.

Solliet’s father, Iggiris. The voice from that time when I sang Soliet again, who had separated from her family.

Why was this memory suddenly triggered?

“anyway. Your walking technique is already flawless. Next is the new law. If you master these two perfectly, you can acquire ‘Gyeonggong (輕功)’. “Come on, let’s go to the new law-”

“Let’s call it a day.”

“Gapshi, what?”

Solliet frowned.

It’s not that I’m not, it’s that I feel like my body is already overloaded. Bobeop certainly seems to be a complex and difficult martial art, and the process of watching and learning it is quite burdensome.

Right now, it’s taking up 6 of the space in Notepad.

It’s not for nothing that everyone is making a fuss about Soliet being a genius or something.

“I have to eat.”

Recovery is needed.

My recovery is a meal.

I tore off the chicken leg. I ate whole potatoes. I chewed Tanghulu. I tore into the chicken thigh meat. I ate bungeoppang. I chewed hotteok. Chicken I tore off the chicken breast. Soliet glared at me with laser-like eyes.

“… … “You’re lazy, you are.”

“what. “Did you buy the Latinel textbook?”

Please note that this training is an equivalent exchange. I teach Ratinelle, and Soliet teaches martial arts.

“yes.”

Solliet took out a textbook from her duffel bag.

“Did you pay for it this time?”

“It was in my father’s study.”

“… … okay?”

It’s a little strange. I am not familiar with Solliette, who is close to my father, or rather has not yet broken off ties with him.

Of course, we still don’t have a father-daughter relationship when we see each other face to face.

“Give it to me.”

I looked at her textbook. There were definitely some stains on her hands.

“Then let’s start with the first chapter.”

He said as he chewed the remaining chicken and swallowed it.

“yes.”

“Kaedeius Radeoman. “It means the emperor’s man.”

… … 20 minutes later.

“Are you a stone head?”

Soliet pouted her lips at the words she couldn’t hold back after trying to hold back.

“no. It doesn’t make sense. Why this inefficient use?”

For the entire 20 minutes, Soliette kept repeating these words.

Isn’t it inefficient? It’s inefficient. It’s inefficient. Inefficient-

“Just think about it and memorize it.”

“… … So it seems like there is no progress.”

“What are you going to do by developing a language that is already ruined? If you just have to memorize it, memorize it.”

What is so efficient and what is so inefficient?

“Memorize all these words by next week.”

“… … “He’s good at giving homework even though he’s a lazy subject.”

Soliet muttered in a sigh and stuffed the Latinel textbook into her duffel bag.

I lay down on the lawn in silence. I felt a little sleepy. It was a side effect of moving my body vigorously.

“… … Do you see Community?”

Soliet suddenly asked.

“no.”

“Look at this.”

A smartphone appeared before my eyes.

[Sound of panda eating bamboo]

Chop chop chop – The panda is eating bamboo.

“… … that’s interesting.”

I answered without thinking, but something was strange.

Solliet Where did this guy come from?

I looked to the side and was startled. Soliet was lying at a distance where the tops of each other’s heads seemed to be touching at an angle.

“… … .”

My heart was pounding slightly, but I shouldn’t be fooled.

Soliette is just indifferent.

Now I’m not as foolish as I used to be. This means that he is not immature enough to think of a grandchild as something he just touched with his fingertips.

“This too-”

“… … “I’m going to rest, so don’t show me anything strange.”

“… … .”

She tried to grab her smartphone and then quietly retrieved it.
