Retired Hunter, Becoming Haenam Episode 122

My child isn’t like that originally.

Yoo Han-sol, better known by the name ‘Gwanggeom’.

He was a man who devoted everything to the sword.

When I dreamed of death rather than life, it was not someone else but the sword that saved me.

‘The sword is the king of all weapons, but the spear is the king of a hundred weapons. The spear cannot defeat the sword.’

For him, who loves martial arts novels, a spear is a weapon used only by royal soldiers.

The low point was low, but compared to the sword, the high point was considered infinitely low.

Until I met Park Dal-gu today.

‘What speed of throwing…!’

An expression that means giving up the first move.

It was a remark made while treating Park Dal-gu like a sewer.

The energy contained in the javelin thrown on the first try was extraordinary.

Chae-ae-aeng!!

It was fortunate that I quickly drew my sword and struck it.

If I had been hit, I probably wouldn’t have even been able to pick out the bones.

There wasn’t even a single blemish on the sword, but I could still feel the vibration in my hand from the recoil from forcibly striking the spear.

But I didn’t have time to worry about such trivial things.

Because the spear that had clearly flown far away was once again in his hand.

I wondered how on earth that was possible—

‘Coming!’

Park Dal-gu is quickly approaching.

First move is a spear throw, then a close combat.

Then I was confident.

Woohoo!

The swordsman naturally surrendered himself to the sword.

S-class awakening ability ‘Light Sword’.

The more you entrust your consciousness to the sword, the more your swordsmanship skills will improve.

Through arduous training, he was able to control his consciousness.

The current level of consciousness relying on the sword is 20%.

It’s not a high number, but it’s a level that an average C-class hunter wouldn’t be able to withstand.

Yoo Han-sol thought that Park Dal-gu would fall down soon.

Chaechaechaeng!

The first time my hands started shaking.

And 5-piece, 10-piece, 30-piece.

Amidst the loud noise of the blades clashing against each other, Gwanggeom was shocked.

‘… Are you holding on?’

Surprisingly, Park Dal-gu was fighting on equal terms with Yoo Han-sol.

Rather, it was not Yoo Han-sol but Park Dal-gu who was holding the situation in his hands.

He was leisurely shedding the sword of Yoo Han-sol without breaking a sweat.

It was an act that scratched his pride, which was called ‘the light sword’.

‘30%.’

Woohoo!

My vision is blurry, as if I’m drunk.

But the opponent’s attack trajectory was as detailed as a drawing.

Nevertheless, Yoo Han-sol was eager to kick Park Dal-gu’s spear.

furthermore….

‘There are a lot of tricky attacks. What the heck is this net?’

From the middle, Park Dal-gu threw nets here and there, perhaps to keep them in check.

At first, I thought it was a distraction tactic to blur my vision, like throwing sand in my eyes.

As soon as the sword touched him, the magic power disappeared, and he moved so skillfully that it seemed as if he was alive, so he realized that this was also his attack.

‘50%.’

Woohoo!!!

The blood-red magical light emanating from the sword covered Yoo Han-sol’s entire body.

There are only a handful of instances where 50% of consciousness has been entrusted to a person.

But I knew I couldn’t win if I didn’t do this.

Chaechaechaechae!!

The sound of spears and blades clashing continued without ceasing.

Even though we exchanged sums in seconds.

Even with 50% of his strength, it is not enough to draw out Park Dal-gu’s power.

Coming here made me feel competitive.

‘I want to cut it.’

The sword ego that currently fills 50% of Yuhan Sol whispered.

I want to cut down the man in front of me.

I think that if we do that, we will be able to achieve a higher level of performance ability.

‘I want to cut it. I want to cut it. I want to cut it.’

The moment the sword’s ego reaches 51%.

It looks more like a sword than a person.

But if I could cut down the man in front of me, that would be too——

“Stop it!!”

bang!

At an unexpected moment, Yoo Han-sol’s body flew far away.

Since I was paying close attention to Park Dal-gu’s every move, it wasn’t his attack.

The shock was as if space itself had thrown Yuhan Sol out.

Im Ha-rin, who had been watching from the side, intervened in the battle.

Thanks to that, the self that had been half-stolen by the sword began to return.

Even though he had come to his senses, Yoo Han-sol’s expression was cold.

Because interfering in the battle was unforgivable.

“What are you doing now? In the middle of a sacred duel.”

“It’s been well over a minute already. Look at this.”

“…what?.”

What she saw was a stopwatch on her cell phone.

The time was exactly 1 minute, 36 seconds, and 03 seconds.

The time has already passed 1 minute and 30 seconds.

Even Yoo Han-sol thought that it had already passed a minute ago.

He took a long breath, almost like a sigh.

‘It’s fun.’

It was a good match, the thought crossed my mind.

Although it was a fight that started out as a civil war, it had been a long time since there had been two people with equal skills.

Moreover, since he was skilled in close combat while wearing the same weapon, the pleasure was indescribable.

‘The spear was a good weapon.’

There is also a saying, “The king of all illnesses” or “the king of a hundred illnesses.”

After competing directly with high-level swordsmen, I had no choice but to admit it.

Reach and the psychological warfare that follows depending on the grip you hold the spear with.

In particular, the battle using the net, which you couldn’t tell how it moved, was so difficult that it was reminiscent of a 2 vs. 1 battle.

Although it ended in a draw, it was enough to acknowledge him—

‘…what?’

The eyes of Yoo Han-sol and Park Dal-gu, who were soaking in the afterglow of battle, crossed.

At that moment, Yoo Han-sol felt as if he had been hit in the head with a hammer.

In the eyes of his gaze as he looked at me… .

It was full of ‘disappointment’.

* * *

‘As expected, you’re still young.’

The one-minute battle is over.

But I wasn’t satisfied.

A situation where I haven’t received any subspace magic or magic support from the Dingdings yet.

It’s closer to saying that he didn’t fight with all his might, or rather, that he couldn’t.

‘I had high expectations because it was called a light sword, but it was below my expectations.’

Since the awakening ability is determined by the Hunter Management Bureau, it would be S-class.

When I actually fought him, I saw that he was just a kid who relied on his sword for his ego and swung it around.

It was closer to a human being swinging a sword than a sword swinging itself.

Such people have clear limitations.

Because it wasn’t something I achieved through my own efforts.

‘huh?’

The sword staggered to its feet and approached me.

Could it be that you are not satisfied with the result?

“…Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Those are the eyes.”

“You’re looking down on me!!”

“… … .”

“Mr. Yoo Han-sol!”

Im Ha-rin stopped him from behind, saying that his name was Yoo Han-sol.

Because it was a contemptuous gaze… I guess that’s how it felt.

“I’m sorry if you felt that way. But I’m truly very disappointed.”

“You’re disappointed? After seeing me and my sword?”

“That’s not your sword.”

“…what?”

“How can you call yourself a swordsman if you don’t wield your sword with your own thoughts?”

“… … !!”

He stopped dead in his tracks at my words.

Was there something resonating?

Im Ha-rin and Uncle Bong-ryong, who were next to me, also looked at me in surprise.

‘Someone has to say something.’

It doesn’t have to be me, but it’s spilled milk.

I didn’t take the words back.

Yoo Han-sol staggered and sat down.

“… I’m not a prosecutor… .”

“Teacher, please calm down for now. Mr. Hansol, please rest for now too.”

“I….”

Yoo Han-sol keeps mumbling to himself as if he can’t hear Im Ha-rin.

For some reason, I noticed Gwanggeom absentmindedly mulling over my words.

I hope my words have brought some enlightenment to you.

Although I think the chances of that happening are extremely low.

“Teacher, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“I got hurt after fighting for only about a minute.”

“But the opponent is an S-class hunter. I’m also someone who can’t control myself… Especially when he spews blood-red magic, I feel scared.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. By the way, I didn’t do anything stupid, did I?”

My position is, at best, a temporary advisor to the top strategy team.

I was worried that the party atmosphere would be ruined because I fought with Yoo Han-sol for no reason.

But Im Ha-rin smiled faintly and whispered in my ear.

“No, on the contrary, I feel relieved. He acts like he can cut off anything, but he can’t even touch a hair on the teacher…!”

“… I think you should be the one calming down, not me?”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it… Anyway, don’t worry too much about the light sword.”

“If that’s the case.”

The leader of the top attack team is Im Harin.

Since she told me not to worry, I decided to eat in peace.

In fact, there is no problem in conquering the area even without him.

“Oh my… I’m so tired. I guess I’m getting old. I feel tired after just running for a minute.”

“You’re more of a monster than me, you rotten bastard, fighting an S-class hunter for a minute and still coming out fine.”

“Why are you swearing and all that?”

“Don’t you get offended when you show off your age in front of an old person?”

“evil!”

I didn’t even get hit by the sword, but I got hit with a chestnut by Uncle Bongryong.

“Well, at least it feels refreshing.”

“That would be fortunate.”

“But be careful. If you open your eyes, you never know what he might do.”

“Hey, even if your nickname is Light Sword, there’s no way you’d do that….”

“It was controversial because he killed several people as soon as he woke up.”

“… Really?”

I looked at the light sword again with renewed eyes.

I never thought he would be such an indiscriminate killer.

But Uncle Bongryong waved his hand.

“I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not just going around slicing up random people like a crazy person.”

“Then what is it?”

“I heard that he was a victim of school violence and that he personally killed the perpetrators.”

“ah….”

Well, that makes a little bit of sense.

Of course, I am not advocating murder.

That means they didn’t just catch and kill anyone.

– Captain, that person seems to be in a lot of pain.

‘Huh? Your heart hurts?’

-Your voice is just leaking out. It seems like you hate yourself.

‘Hmm… .’

The ding-dings in his pocket popped out and looked at Yoo Han-sol with worried eyes.

Even at first glance, he doesn’t seem to be of sound mind.

Since the DingDings were so worried about me, I started to feel unnecessarily anxious.

‘Did I say something wrong?’

-Oh no! Rather, I think I’ve calmed down a little thanks to what the captain said.

―I’m thinking about the sword. I’m confused, but I think I’ll find the answer soon!

‘If that’s the case, then that’s good. If you feel like there’s anything dangerous, please let me know in advance.’

-Leave it to me!

Dingdings who rule the chest with their small hands.

At times like these, it’s fortunate that there are dingdings who can read minds.

I was smiling at the guys when suddenly something huge appeared in front of me.

“…?”

“bruise!”

“Cyclone Wolf?”

Summoner Baek Aram’s summoned beast, the A-class monster Cyclone Wolf.

A huge creature, about the same height as a person, stood on all fours and approached me.

Looking at it up close, it feels a bit scary rather than cute. Why are you suddenly looking at me—

Lick!

“…?”

His tongue licked my face without warning.

What the heck? Was that a real dog that was barking?

While I was dazed, the guy attacked me.

“Whoa! What, what is it?”

I thought it was a flash attack, but it wasn’t.

The tail is wagging as if welcoming a guest who has come to visit the house.

“Woof woof!”

“…You want me to stroke you?”

“bruise!”

A guy who understands what people say and responds back to what I say.

I carefully ran my hand through the guy’s fur.

‘Is the fur cool?’

It’s as if someone is turning on the air conditioning in the fur.

It felt good to feel the cool breeze between my fingers touching the fur.

I thought it would be warm to hold a fluffy dog ​​in the summer, but it wasn’t.

Is that why it’s called Cyclone Wolf?

“Hey, puppy!”

“ah.”

While I was lying down and tickling the guy’s nape, Baek Aram appeared.

Her face was filled with surprise.

“My child isn’t usually like this… I’m sorry.”

“No, that could be true. The kid is cute.”

“They won’t even let me touch it… This is, this is strange…”

“Hmm?”

He says he would never do this to other people.

If I think about it, today is the first time this guy and I have met.

There was absolutely no reason to welcome it like this.

No, if there is one reason… .

‘Dingdings, no way?’

-Is it because of us?

– Fluffy and soft Geochu!

At the point where I just took the ding-dings out of my pocket and started talking.

The puppy came up to me and started acting cute.

It is possible to speculate that Cyclone Wolf sensed the spirit and approached.

Of course, this was just a guess.

“Puppy! Come to me!”

“bruise!”

“He’s so stubborn… Oh my, really.”

“Haha, that could be possible.”

“Pheh heh.”

A guy who doesn’t budge even when Baek Aram pulls on him.

I patted the panting guy’s torso.

It’s cute when a guy bigger than a large dog acts cute.

As I was petting the puppy for a while, Baek Aram reached out to me.

what?

“…What is it?”

“I’d like to request a handshake. I’m sorry for hitting you so hard earlier.”

“Suddenly?”

“Of course! He’s someone my dog ​​likes, so he can’t be a weirdo. I can trust him now!”

“…haha.”

So, does that mean I can trust my dog ​​because he follows me?

Although I was dizzy from the absurd development, she was an extraordinary person after all.

I took her hand.

“i look forward to.”

“Please take good care of me too! Oh, and she likes it even better when you stroke her belly. She spreads her legs like this and exposes her belly.”

“That’s true, haha.”

“Yes! And if you scratch gently like this without raising your fingernails… .”

Baek Aram was so excited that she started lecturing on how to please others so that they would like her more.

I said, “Yes, yes,” and listened to what she said.

I petted the puppy, following her movements.

“…Teacher, you are truly an interesting person. You are not usually like that…”

“Harin, that’s why I told you to call me quickly.”

“I didn’t know you would be able to capture S-class hunters so quickly.”

“There’s a reason I decided to join the new guild.”

Eavesdropping on the words of Im Ha-rin and Uncle Bong-ryong, who were watching from the side.

I spent some time with Baek Aram petting the puppy.

… somehow, the two problem children of the top strategy team both became quiet.
