Chapter 587 – Chapter 587 Hero Academy (5)
The temperament window of the person approaching me began to expand gradually to match the owner.
=====
Moonseok Hong
[Martial Arts]….
=====
At first, I knew that it was a physical wave.
In fact, even if I didn’t look at the temperament window, I knew at once that I wasn’t a magician.
Even though he was around 170, he was quite large.
And in the temperament window….
-[Spear LV 34], [Javelin LV 29], [Martial Arts LV 19]-
There was information that there was some loss even in bare-handed fighting, but it was clear at once that his main specialty was the spear.
And I said to him
“I’m not one to aim a sword at someone who doesn’t know what my specialty is.”
As I spoke, the servants around me tilted their heads.
And it was the same for Yeonho, the spirit that circulated around me.
(What are you talking about? You don’t know what your main specialty is? Seeing that you have rushing muscles, you seem to be a good martial artist….)
Seeing this, I was able to realize once again how great the temperament window was.
When you see that even a person with a certain skill cannot fully understand the other person’s talent just by looking at their appearance….
I didn’t answer the name of the era and waited for the man named Hong Mun-seok to speak.
It was a moment, but I could see Hong Mun-seok’s eyes fluctuating.
Hong Moon-seok, unable to open his mouth easily, began to look at Ki Chul-ho with a puzzled expression.
However, there was something that stood out more than his ability.
-[Desire to show off], [Coldheartedness], [Egoism], [Recklessness]….-
For a person who works as a servant in a mansion, he has a more frivolous personality than expected.
Well, there is no law that says that all people are the same on the outside….
‘In the first place, compared to Ki Cheol-ho, he’s just an ordinary human.’
Even while I was evaluating Hong Mun-seok, the silence continued.
And the person who broke the silence was Seo Ji-eun.
“I… Instructor. What do you mean by that? Doesn’t this person know his main specialty?”
“It is literally. He said he would fight me with his fist even though he is clearly a weapon user, so I just pulled out my weapon in response.”
Seo Ji-eun, unlike usual, frowned and looked at Hong Moon-seok with an uncomfortable expression.
“… Is that true?”
“That, that….”
Seeing Gi Cheol-ho notice Hong Mun-seok in bewilderment, Ki Cheol-ho opened his mouth with an expressionless expression.
“I made you do that.”
Everyone’s eyes went to Ki-cheol-ho, and Seo Ji-eun tilted her head at Ki-cheol-ho.
“Sehyung ordered you to?”
“Yes.”
“Why is that….”
Ki Cheol-ho continued to conclude his speech with a calm expression despite Seo Ji-eun’s question.
“It is a place to check this person’s skills, so I put in an appropriate handicap.”
First of all, it was revealed that the current situation was not the sole act of that size.
But again, it was a question.
Ki Cheol-ho is a person who tries to weigh me down.
I wondered why this handicap was put in.
Another human being might really be giving room for sympathy, but that human being is definitely not that kind of human being.
‘Looks like there’s a trap hidden….’
It was the moment when I was so questioning.
Widely!
Gi-cheol-ho suddenly snapped his fingers and gave a signal to the other servants.
At the sound of Ki Cheol-ho’s fingers snapping, the servants suddenly came to their senses and began to surround me.
The servants who had treated me as a guest until earlier looked at me with hostility.
I asked Gi Cheol-ho, wary of the sudden crowd of servants.
“What happened all of a sudden? Could it be that you switched to many-to-one because you didn’t like 1-to-1 verification?”
“That will depend on your answer.”
Ki Cheol-ho slowly approached me with a meaningful expression.
Then, with a hard expression on his face, he lowered his voice and asked.
“I want to ask how you knew the abilities of people in my family.”
“Sehyung! What happened to the instructor suddenly….”
“Miss. This is a problem that cannot be simply overlooked. Knowing the information of the servant in the mansion is not strange even if you doubt his identity.”
Now I understand the situation.
The inside of the mansion is a space completely cut off from the outside.
From the physical to the information….
However, since I spoke as if I already knew his abilities, they assumed that the information about the mansion had been leaked.
‘Tsk… Things turn out this way I’ll have to explain it quickly before things get messy.’
I explained while looking at Seo Ji-eun who was flustered, Ki Cheol-ho who was wary, and Lee So-hyun who kept her neutrality and looked at me with concern.
“It is my specialty.”
“… Yes?”
“If you look at a person, you can roughly guess the main weapon along with the main specialty. That is my specialty.”
“Are you telling me to believe such nonsense?”
Ki Cheol-ho started to sell me out.
And what I meant was that neither Seo Ji-eun nor Lee So-hyun believed easily.
I pointed out each of the servants with my finger and recited slowly.
“Archery, swordsmanship, this person also swordsmanship, this person swordsmanship….”
With the exception of Seo Ji-eun, Lee So-hyeon, and Ki Chul-ho, I singled out all the servants and recited my special skill.
And while reciting the main skill, additional explanations were added.
“This person’s specialty is daggers, but he’s also good at archery. And this person is swordsman…. As expected, there are many people who use swordsmanship wherever they go.”
As I recited the explanation, I could feel Gi Cheol-ho’s expression getting more and more distorted every time I reduced the number of people.
Seo Ji-eun and Lee So-hyun looked at each other with surprised expressions….
And the long-awaited final.
I reached out to Gi Cheol-ho and pointed at him.
Gi Cheol-ho suddenly saw me pointing at him, his face twisted, and he opened his mouth.
“I have the ability….”
“You have great hiding skills. I think memorization is probably the specialty.”
“!?”
Gi Cheol-ho’s cracked face was suddenly crumpled as if it were breaking.
Looking at him like that, I naturally smiled and said.
“Ah, that’s a bit ambiguous. Apparently, he has talent, but he doesn’t seem to handle weapons… Maybe with training, you can achieve great results.”
“….”
As soon as Ki Chul-ho heard me, his expression hardened, his eyes rolled, and he began to scan the surroundings.
As if he was worried that no one would see his wrinkled expression….
But it’s already too late.
Because everyone was looking at him.
I giggled inwardly as I looked at Ki Cheol-ho, who showed his embarrassment.
‘I’m finally getting an expression worth seeing.’
But the embarrassment was just a feeling.
Ki Cheol-ho snapped his fingers with a peaceful expression that had changed again.
Immediately, the servants went back to their places, and Ki Chul-ho looked at me and opened his mouth with a blunt expression.
“I believe what you say is true. … Sorry for being rude again.”
“I understand. Because it was a natural procedure.”
I nodded and understood easily.
It was worth the price just to see that expression.
Yeonho, who was looking at me with interest, smiled for the first time and muttered.
(The spiritual world was boring, but I’m glad I was called by an interesting guy.)
For now, the case is settled.
But the important thing wasn’t over.
Ki Cheol-ho glanced at the servant named Hong Mun-seok and opened his mouth with a wink.
“Then, I will formally hand over a weapon to this friend.”
Now the fight began in earnest.
..
..
Hong Mun-seok and I were looking at each other from a distance of about 50 meters.
Ki Cheol-ho stood between me and Hong Mun-seok and began to explain the method of confrontation.
“There is no specific time for battle. If one side is judged to be in danger, we will enter the restraint immediately. You can declare defeat before that.”
It was an exemplary explanation.
It was a request to be careful not to cause any misfortune, as it was not a confrontation for profit in the first place, but just a confrontation for verification.
However, on the other hand, it was not imposed by coercion.
Because there is a high possibility that Hong Mun-seok will mediate after turning me into porridge….
I raised my sword and looked at Hong Moon-seok, who was far away.
It was unusual to hold the window.
‘Middle class… If you hit it well, it’s an upper-intermediate hero level….’
He might be weak compared to Moon Ju-ah, whom he met in the dungeon Evrica, but seemed stronger than the gangsters he fought at the time.
Even now, I can’t use expedients like sleeping or magic traps like back then.
But no worries.
I glanced at Yeonho, who was hovering nearby, tightening the hand holding the sword.
(I get it.)
Yeon-ho, who perfectly recognized my gaze, approached me, and I immediately started possessing magic.
That was the moment it entered my body.
“Come on!”
“Kwaaaaa!”
At the same time as Gi-cheol-ho’s cry was heard, Hong Moon-seok pushed his body forward and started charging at me.
I felt the spirit as if a bear was charging at me.
It was as if he was showing his will to overpower the ship at once and lay it down.
It seemed that it was because of the previous job that he was making such an angry expression.
‘It must be big that I was hurt earlier.’
It seemed like he was full of selfishness to rush after receiving an order.
But I didn’t mean to suffer like that.
‘Let’s not use magic for now!’
I shouted that inwardly and moved my steps to get out of the way I was charging forward with my sword.
As he moved, he exclaimed in exclamation.
‘Wow! It’s crazy. I don’t think it’s my body?’
Not an exaggeration, but a sincere exclamation.
He had only accepted the spirit of Yeonho into his body, and the movements he had acquired during his lifetime naturally flowed out.
But if there’s one thing I’m sorry about….
‘Unable to communicate. This is the biggest downside.’
I can use Yeonho’s ability as if it were my own, but it was impossible to communicate with him.
If communication was possible, I would have been able to know how to deal with important situations, not the instincts I learned.
[Suho. We are fighting.]
‘Ah! My skills are better than I thought, so I took my time without realizing it!’
As I moved and moved, Hong Moon-seok, who had been charging, turned and charged me.
And the moment you enter the attack category….
Wow!
“Kwaaaaa!”
He swung his spear sideways and attacked me.
I was able to confirm one thing with the first attack.
‘….’
The best advantage of the spear is its richness.
And it is mankind’s greatest weapon to press and subdue the opponent while stabbing countless times using such a reach.
But with such a weapon, swinging it so big and giving a big gap?
‘He’s looking down on me.’
Other than that, I couldn’t figure out what the intention was.
The intention to make a porridge with great effort in one shot….
And once I realized that intention….
‘There’s no reason to watch.’
I raised my sword towards the spear that was swinging with tremendous wind pressure.
I was curious.
How much was the swordsmanship LV 40 obtained through possessive arts?
It didn’t seem difficult to evade with swordsmanship, and even with hand skills, it seemed like I could use my sword to reverse the spear’s trajectory and dig in and subdue it.
But there was an error.
‘Let’s test how strong I’ve become!’
I swung the sword as hard as I could toward the spear that drew wind pressure.
And the moment the sword I wielded collided with the spear wielded by Hong Moon-seok….
Caang!
A brain-piercing metal sound echoed through the mansion’s training room.
And not long after….
Pacan!
In a place far away from me, the dull sound of sharp metal being driven into the floor spread.
I did not look at the place where the iron had fallen, but slowly raised my sword while looking at my opponent.
My sword, unblemished…
Hong Moon-seok’s spear was like a straw, as if it had been cut by a knife.
“This… What is this….”
Hong Mun-seok seemed to have lost his soul at the appearance of the spear, whose weight and volume had been reduced by half.
Standing in front of Hong Mun-seok, I admired the sword that was still sharpened to a blue blade.
“As expected, it’s a weapon from Seoji, so it’s in good condition.”
