Chapter 936 – 936.Yggdrasil (7)
“Haaaaa!”
He began to use the Thunder Sword Technique 1 star.
A swordsmanship without even any hostility, let alone murderous intent.
However, it was a sword technique that contained the threat of being fatally hit if you remained defenseless.
Namgung Yuha is the 1st star of the Thunder Sword Technique that I practiced…
Ta-tat! Shoot!
“Haaaaab!”
He countered with the same sword technique, Cheonroe Sword Technique.
Chaaeaeang! Visor! Whip!
That too…
“It was a great ceremony!”
I easily blocked it using the nose-to-tail approach I had used earlier.
Namgung Yuha blocked my sword technique with her Ki modifier and then performed the same Thunder Sword technique and shouted.
Shoot! Visor! Chachaechaeng!
“Remember! “The basic method of Cheonroe Sword Technique is clearly a simple method of politeness rather than attack, but on the other hand, the fact that it can take an attack in an emergency like this!”
“I’ll keep that in mind!”
I answered like that and started using the Thunder Sword technique on Namgung Yuha again.
Blue light began to flow between me and Namgung Yuha as if it were tearing apart the space.
Lightning clashes with lightning.
Chaeaeang! Shoot! Bang!
We were clearly using the same magic and sword techniques, and Namgung Yuha and I’s swords and bodies moved identically, like a painting.
But there was a crucial difference.
‘Keuuuuu! The intensity is so different!?
The force of the swords hitting each other was different.
Namgung Yuha, who received my sword, calmly continued with his next move.
But I, who received Namgung Yuha’s sword…
Chaaeaeang!
“Ugh!”
In the end, the sword bounced to the side and he could not continue with the next attack.
Namgung Yuha gave me the final blow in that state…
Cheer up!
“Are you okay!?”
Instead of throwing away the sword, he got embarrassed and threw the sword aside and ran towards me.
I was rather embarrassed by Namgung Yuha’s appearance and laughed bitterly.
“It’s okay. “I’m sorry for not being able to use my sword properly.”
“You don’t have to apologize. Please give me your wrist first.”
“No, it’s really okay… “Ugh.”
Namgung Yuha pulled my hand and checked the condition of her wrist.
Although it was slightly swollen, it seemed like it could be sufficiently treated with recovery skills.
“For this, you just need to use the recovery skill. Now, look.”
I used my recovery skill to heal my wrist injury right away.
After seeing that her wrist was healed, Namgung Yuha let out a sigh of relief.
“Whoa… Thank god. What would I do to someone who has an important business meeting the next day? .”
Actually, it was me who was puzzled.
Namgung Yuha just calmly used his sword skills, and I think I made a mistake. Why am I apologizing like that?
But in the end, I couldn’t figure out why Namgung Yuha had such a guilty expression.
Namgung Yuha stroked her wrist a few times, and then she opened her mouth, confirming that everything was better.
“For now, let’s wrap up today and head back.”
“Yes.”
After Namgung Yuha and I finished our first meeting with her, we returned to each other’s lodgings.
***
As soon as Namgung Yuha entered her room, she didn’t even turn on the light, and immediately collapsed on her bed.
“Whoa… Phew…”
Namgung Yuha takes deep breaths and calms himself down.
However, once my heart started racing, it could not calm down at all.
Namgung Yuha nevertheless lay down in the correct posture and calmly looked at her ceiling in order to somehow calm her heart.
There were many reasons why Namgung Yuha was so excited, but there was only one person at the center of the reason.
Suho Seong.
“Whoa… “Are you really okay?”
The reason Namgung Yu-ha applied to Seong Su-ho for a secretary role was because he wanted him to have at least a little bit of real-life combat experience.
Fortunately, Bimu was able to sew the first button very well.
Namgung Yu-ha began to share her experiences with Seong Su-ho at the same time as her actual battle.
It’s been 20 years since Namgung Yuha bloomed her Danjeon.
The opponent is a student who has just developed his dantian skills.
No matter how talented she was at mastering martial arts, her twenty years of experience would definitely be of use to her, she reasoned.
Plus, there is a 20-year difference in prowess.
She was confident that she could pass on her experience through martial arts since there was a difference in internal strength no matter how much the same swordsmanship was used.
However, this does not mean that I looked down on Seong Su-ho.
The opponent is a monstrous disciple who achieved the state of Samhwachwijeong and even absorbed all of his inner energy, then purified it and gave his inner energy back.
I did my best to receive Seong Su-ho’s sword.
But…
“… “I almost lost my sword.”
Namgung Yu-ha was overwhelmed by Seong Su-ho’s momentum and focused all his attention on displaying her sword skills.
And the result of that concentration was the injury of Seong Su-ho.
Actually, the injury wasn’t something to make a fuss about.
Nevertheless, the reason Namgung Yuha made a fuss about her was because he was worried that the injury would affect the wedding ceremony to be held the next day.
“I’m sure you’ll be okay, right?”
Namgung Yuha was able to wash away her anxiety by recalling the image of Seongsu-ho reassuring her.
But apart from that, there was one more reason why Namgung Yuha lost her concentration during her duties.
“Pure inner strength…”
Namgung Yuha muttered like that and placed her palm on her lower abdomen.
As I placed my palm on her lower abdomen, I felt the vibration of her throbbing dan tian.
“Huh…”
An accident that occurred while helping Seong Su-ho’s Danjeon bloom.
After the accident in which Seong Su-ho took all of his inner strength and gave it back to him, Namgung Yu-ha’s Danjeon was also different from before.
I didn’t mean it in a bad way.
The inner energy that Seong Su-ho gave back actually purified the Danjeon to be more clean and pure.
It felt as if all the internal energy in my body had been transformed into innate energy.
But in the end, after using up all the inner energy she had been given, the cloudy inner energy she had before began to fill her body again.
Namgung Yuha’s Danjeon is…
“Ha… Ha… Hold on…”
I began to long for Seong Su-ho’s inner strength again.
One of the reasons was that he launched a harsh attack on Seong Su-ho because of his thirst for Danjeon.
As soon as he started dancing with Seong Su-ho, Danjeon wriggled and rushed to steal his inner strength.
Namgung Yuha caressed her lower abdomen and soothed her dantian.
“Hold on… Calm down…”
Although she is not a living creature, she is like a close friend who has been with her all her life.
The only one who could calm that friend down was Namgung Yuha.
But even so, the longing rising from the Danjeon could not be easily quelled.
And to make matters worse…
“No matter how much I think about it… The scent…”
Her own body also began to heat up.
If he had been a regular Namgung, he could have corrected his deluded mind through meditation before intoxicating himself with the scent of Seongsuho.
However, currently, Namgung Yuha’s desire for inner energy wells up in his Danjeon, along with the desire that flows from his body.
Because of those two desires, she could not maintain her sanity.
Before she knew it, Namgung Yuha’s left hand was heading towards her mouth.
“Whoa…” .”
Namgung Yuha slowly began to move her right hand down to her lower abdomen, smelling the scent of Seongsuho flowing from her hand.
This was the moment when she was about to indulge her sexual desires for the first time.
“Haaa… The opponent is a disciple, come to your senses…”
She barely managed to turn herself around again, stepping onto the threshold of her sexuality.
Namgung Yuha forced her body to stand up and placed her in the lotus position in the dark corner of her room.
“I can’t believe you think of such mean things while thinking of your disciple…”
Namgung Yuha began to immerse herself in her meditation in an attempt to quell her desires that had been building up inside her.
But even though she tried so hard to get lost in her meditation…
“Please help me focus. Please…”
Rather, because of Seongsuho wandering around in her head, her heart was pounding and her Danjeon was vibrating, distracting Namgung Yuha from concentrating.
In the end, Namgung Yu-ha was unable to enter her meditation, only drawing the image of her Seongsu-ho more clearly throughout the night.
***
As soon as morning came, I went to Namgung Yuha’s lodgings as usual.
It didn’t even occur to me that it was morning the whole time I was there.
“It’s so dark.”
I still haven’t gotten used to this dark morning.
And every time I faced this dark morning, anxious thoughts began to creep in.
“I haven’t seen any fighting since I came here.”
Because it was quiet, as if there had been a sudden truce.
The day before we arrived, the two countries, who had been fighting to the point of collapsing the castle walls, were quietly keeping each other in check.
It felt like I was saving up my strength to make a big splash.
I muttered as I looked at the city filled with such tension.
“If possible, I’d like to leave before war breaks out.”
Our party has experienced countless battles so far, but we have never experienced anything like war.
That means that all party members have raised their abilities to the maximum set by Yggdrasil, so even if war breaks out, there will be no major threat.
But you don’t know what’s going on in the world.
If you are experiencing war for the first time, you may get embarrassed and get hurt, and in the worst case scenario…
“No. “Let’s not think like that.”
I gave up those useless thoughts and knocked on the door of Namgung Yuha’s dorm.
Knock, knock, knock.
And after a while, the door opened, revealing Namgung Yuha.
That too…
“Oh, you’re here.”
It was the same haggard appearance I saw in the beginning.
I immediately asked how he was doing with a worried look on his face.
“Are you okay?”
“Well, I’m fine.”
Namgung Yuha responded quickly, came out of her room, and began to follow her as if leading the way.
“It’s already breakfast time. “Let’s go quickly.”
“Ah yes.”
Breakfast already? I wonder if he stayed up all night… ?
I had doubts, but I couldn’t dwell on that part.
Filled with questions, I arrived at the restaurant where Namgung Yuha and other party members were gathered.
As soon as Namgung Yuha and I arrived, everyone started eating.
“…”
“…”
A party in the middle of winter.
Min Ha-yeon and Han Ga-eul chatted moderately while looking at Mid-winter’s thoughts.
In comparison, Hanbom…
“Whoa…”
I ate quietly, sighing with dark circles on my face.
For reference, the last time I had a proper conversation with Hanbom was three days ago.
I haven’t been able to talk to Hanbom properly since the incident with Midwinter.
The reason we couldn’t talk was simple.
“… Joy!”
This was because midwinter marked midspring for 24 hours and prevented me from even saying hello.
I actually laughed when I saw that mid-winter scene.
‘It seems like you really are precious to me.’
Midwinter didn’t like my laughter, so she frowned and started to care about Midspring again.
“Sister, eat a lot.”
“… Don’t be a picky eater and eat. “Please don’t miss out on some onions!”
After finishing that breathtaking meal, I immediately spoke to Midwinter.
“Let’s go.”
“… Okay.”
To a stranger, it would seem like lovers secretly exchanging secret conversations.
But the party members here knew the inside story.
“Welcome back~”
“Don’t fight too hard.”
First of all, Min Ha-yeon and Han Ga-eul saw me off with a smile.
Perhaps he believed that since I was in charge of the situation myself, I would resolve it well.
And Namgung Yuha called me aside and expressed his concerns.
“Please take care of yourselves, and I hope that you will dance without any regrets.”
“I will do my best.”
From my perspective, it was a light dance, but from Namgung Yuha’s perspective, it must have felt like a chicken letting its chicks out.
The first disciple seemed nervous as he was having his first dance.
And behind me, mid-spring was talking to mid-winter.
“Whoa… Don’t overdo it. Well, you will take care of it yourself.”
“Joy! My sister is waiting. “I’m going to beat that guy to pieces.”
“Haaaaa… “Mind your own body.”
Midspring saw Midwinter off with her continued sighing.
And she sent me a look as she sent me off in the middle of winter.
(Please take care of me, uncle.)
It was a look in his eyes that roughly conveyed the meaning of those words.
I responded by nodding her head and reassured Han Bom.
“Let’s go now.”
“…”
After briefly saying hello, Midwinter and I headed to the barracks training center.
As soon as I arrived, I received permission from Izanka and was able to rent an entire large training room.
This Janka rented out her training room and asked us vaguely.
“If you don’t mind, is it okay if I take a look?”
“Hmm… That…”
I was planning on holding the duel privately.
The reason is midwinter.
I turned to Midwinter and asked the doctor with my eyes.
If midwinter allows, of course…
“It’s okay to look.”
I was thinking of giving permission too.
As soon as Midwinter agreed, Izanka smiled and began watching us from outside the training room.
Midwinter looked at me and said a word.
“Be sure to keep your promise.”
“You really shouldn’t act like a bully after losing.”
“Joy!”
Midwinter began to widen the distance, leaving a positive snort.
Just like last time, Midwinter gained an appropriate distance and prepared to charge at me.
And as time passed…
“First and foremost, win!”
She lunged at me with the same shout as last time.
