Chapter 87 – 085 Heyern Senior Military Officer
Meal time was held in a very warm and friendly atmosphere.
The food prepared was so good that praise flowed from Hwanin’s mouth, and it was Hwanin’s first meal at the table, but the maid’s service was as natural as her tongue in her mouth, so she did not feel any discomfort.
“The food is very delicious.”
It wasn’t empty talk. The quality of the food is comparable to that of modern high-end restaurant chefs.
Susa was overjoyed at Hwanin’s sincere praise.
They had eaten together at a restaurant a few times before, and had heard that the food was delicious, but it sounded like a courtesy.
After a long, short meal, Hwanin had a tea time with the Susa couple in the drawing room.
The conversation was mainly about Hwanin’s own personality.
As Hwanin, who had been keeping his mouth shut about his personal life until now, told him about the Korean social system and environment, which he was slowly unraveling, the merchants Susa as well as Ann Flint, Brillit, and Isilite listened attentively and showed great interest.
While talking like that, Hwanin found out an unexpected fact.
Brillitt, who suspected that she was having an affair with Susa, was Susa’s official lover, who was recognized by her wife, Anne Flint.
“It’s a bit of a unique relationship.”
= Is that so? Age is an ordinary custom……. Hwanin seems to have no age in his home country.=
Yeon-wi 戀衛, a job to escort a man at close range after receiving recognition from his wife as a lover. It can be a really unique custom.
Is this possible because the number of men is low and the social status of men is higher than that of women?
“Yes. Externally, they practice monogamy, and it is a rare place where serious fights take place where lives are taken away like here.”
At Hwanin’s answer, Susa clapped her hands and said.
= Ah. Come to think of it, Hwanin-nim said that the first timeheheld a weapon was 3 months ago. It seems to be a very safe place. It’s a place I definitely want to visit.=
“If possible, I would also like to invite Susa-san…… I guess that would be impossible. I don’t even know how far this is from my country or where it is.”
=If it is Hwanin-nim’s ability, I think he can definitely return. Cheer up.=
“Thank you for your words.”
As her heartwarming story was going around in this way, Brillitt watched Isilite, who was already eating the second plate of the sweet potato pie prepared for dessert, and then opened her mouth to her phantom.
=I’m sorry, but I’d like to give you one piece of advice. Would you please allow me?=
It was a calm voice, but as if it was something that doesn’t happen very often, Susa and Ann Flind opened her eyes wide and looked at Brillit.
Susa asked with a curious face.
=This is the first time I’ve seen you talk like that.=
= It’s not something the owner is worried about. Just a little bit of Isilite.=
Susa sighed at Brillit’s answer, let out a small exclamation, and nodded her head. Ann Flint looked at Isilite and her phantom in turn, then she nodded her head as if she understood.
= Huh? I? Why?=
Hwanin could roughly guess what he was talking about.
Issilite was the only one who couldn’t understand the situation in the tearoom.
“I will listen.”
At her Hwanin’s polite reply, Brillit looked at Isilite, relieved inwardly.
=Here in Wayford, there is an advanced maid training institute. It is a branch school of the Maiden High School of Technology in the capital city, and the vast majority of maids who serve the surname of Aldjin Bere, the owner of Wayford, as well as nobles and nobles in small towns and villages in the vicinity, are from this Training Institute. How about giving Isilite the opportunity to be educated there.=
=Huh?=
=It may not be comparable to the Maiden who received a regular qualification from being a 6-year-old girl until she became an adult, but I think that completing the short-term training will be of great help to the spiritual master in her future career.=
Hwanin looked at Isilite, who blinked at her.
Crumbs of sweet potato pie were spilled between her upper breasts and thighs, and her hands and mouth were smeared with sweet potato sauce.
“Emergency food. Come here.”
Quet.
Hwanin nodded his head after calling in emergency food to peck at the crumbs that fell from under the chair.
“Either way, she thought she should teach Isilite basic manners. She would like to hear more details.”
In response to Hwanin’s positive answer, Anne Flint stepped forward.
=That doesn’t seem to be something that the Spirit Master would care about. I will do my best to be of help, even if I am weak, so why don’t you entrust Miss Isilite’s education-related matters to me?
=My wife has connections there. The short-term training course is about 40 days, so if you don’t mind, why don’t you leave it to us?=
The information that Hwanin was curious about came out from her mouth, so she quietly nodded her head.
Even if it’s not, she thought of staying for a while, collecting information and basic knowledge about this world.
‘I made a lot of money selling Urger’s corpse, so I’ll have enough money for education.’
Isilite, who had already spoken to Brillit about her own problems, accepted admission to the Advanced Maid Training Institute without a word of sputum.
And the next day.
=Master, I will study hard and come out! So you can’t leave me…….=
To Isilite, who was afraid that she might leave her, her illusion was not a gentle consolation, but a bloody threat.
“Say the opposite. If you come out without learning properly, I will abandon you. So learn straight away and come.”
= Hick. Yes, yes!=
According to Anne Flint’s story, there were several courses of instruction.
A six-year course leading to a formal maid license.
A two-year intensive course to obtain a simple license.
A one-year basic course that does not give a certificate, but gives a diploma.
And 40-day short courses for those in need of intensive training.
Handmaidens who have obtained formal qualifications are hired by low-level baronial families.
A maid who obtained a simple license is hired by a lower nobleman’s mansion, and a maid who has completed the basic course is hired by a village official.
The four maids who work at Susa’s house have also completed the one-year basic course.
The longer the training period, the more expensive it was. 6 years is approximately 6 doubloons, 2 years is 2 doubloons, 1 year is 1 doubloon, and a short course of 40 days is 50 doubloons.
At first, she wondered why she needed a single gold coin to become a maid, but she was convinced that she would even arrange employment with a noble family.
Considering the value of technology in this world and the cost of networking, this amount of money is understandable.
She spent a little more than a month and spent 50 million won to instill good manners, manners, and simple basic education, but Hwan-in was well worth it.
He is a Hwanin who does not require strict manners or manners from others. Because I wasn’t particularly sensitive to things like that.
However, some of Isilite’s sudden actions were at the level of making even such a phantom narrow their eyebrows or furrow their eyebrows.
He was willing to pay 50 silver coins if he could refine that aspect with 40 days of training.
So much so that she would have thought of sending it to a one-year course if there was enough time.
‘I heard that there is also a short-term course at the Maiden High School of Technology. I’ll see the results and send them there when I get a chance.’
Since the technical institute basically recommends lodging, Hwanin, who was alone again, started activities to acquire knowledge and common sense more comfortably.
=This is the only senior military officer in Wayford. There are advanced martial arts instructors in swordsmanship, advanced instructors in swordsmanship, spearmanship, and martial arts, and intermediate instructors in various weapons such as breaking, archery, general blunt weapons, and daggers. Above all, it is a place that is well-received by many people because it is a method of paying daily training fees centered on real sparring.
A few days after Isilite was hospitalized at the Maid Technical Center, Hwan-in and Brillit visited a senior military officer.
After sparring with Brillit, she was pointed out that her spearmanship was a mess, so she aimed to supplement that part.
= The training fee for senior military officers is 1 silver coin per day. It is 12 hours from 6:00 am to 19:00 pm, and it is a place where you can fight with military commanders if you wish.=
“Education is not cheap.”
One silver screen means 1 million won per day in educational expenses alone.
= Other military officers require an advance payment of at least one month, if longer, half a year of training…… I thought it wasn’t right for Hwanin.=
It was a situation created by Brillitt’s belief that she must have learned everything she had to learn before long.
Hwanin also liked this way of paying for daily training.
Before she fought Urger, she wished she could formally learn spearmanship, but after the fight, her desire for weaponry has subsided.
I have no desire to go in and out of military affairs for a month.
= The gate is open. Please enter.=
Brillit also thought about warming up after a long time, so she and Hwanin entered the high-ranking military officer’s room in Highern where the gate was open.
The training was surprisingly well structured.
10 minutes per couplet. You can only apply 3 times a day to an instructor of the same system.
Lunch is from 12:00 to 1:00. Everyone takes a break.
Injuries sustained during sparring can be treated free of charge as a high-ranking military official has signed a contract with a nearby temple to have a priestess permanently stationed there.
Of course, it is only the wounds that were injured ‘inside’ the military officer.
= You are lucky. There is also a military commander today.=
“Aren’t you usually there?”
=Because it is an unrelated venue, there are many things that are empty. I heard that it comes out a lot in a month, about three times.=
“…….”
The military commander sitting on a 5m high platform was the Inho tribe. His forearms were the size of Hwanin’s thighs, and he was tall enough to reach 1.5m when sitting.
More than that, the aura of the military commander catches Hwanin’s attention.
A yellow aura coiled around her forearms and legs like a snake. It is reminiscent of a blue flame tiger in the depths of a forest-type labyrinth.
“Mr. Brillett. What rank is the military commander of Heyern?”
=It is full of level 7.=
Full of demons. The realm that a warrior achieves when he attains enlightenment and breaks through the wall.
‘If the shape of the aura changes according to the degree, it must mean that the blue flame tiger is also a 7th grade heteromorphic species.’
Hwanin, thinking of green apes and some beasts and monsters that day, suddenly remembered the story Susa had told him.
In order to break the 7th grade labyrinth, the 7th grade barons must join forces.
If a 7th-class warrior could be armed in a small town, it means that a few more warriors like that would be needed to break the labyrinth.
That means…….
‘I guess the monsters in the labyrinth are stronger than people of the same level.’
While staring at the wriggling aura of the military commander, he lowered his gaze to the 30 or so instructors standing below the platform.
The senior instructors were three 5th-class warriors, and their auras were similar to those of the warrior Ctachinan that they saw the night they escaped Leheel.
Intermediate warriors are 40 4th-class warriors, and the concentration of 4th-class aura is similar to or higher than Brillit.
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding?
With the cheerful sound of bells, people who had been hanging around the rectangular arena immediately lined up in front of the instructors.
The most popular is, of course, the sword. The number of instructors wearing swords was also the highest.
= Hwanin. In order to fight against a senior instructor, you must win a sparring against an intermediate instructor. If you want to fight against a military commander, you have to beat a senior instructor…….=
“All right. I’ll look around for a while and then join in, so take care of Mr. Brillitt.”
=Yes.=
As if waiting for those words, Brillit went straight to the senior spearmanship instructor’s sparring line and stood in line.
After about 10 minutes, 20 sparring halls are full, and 20 couples wield their own weapons and start sparring.
Hwanin also looked away from the military commander and looked down at the arena from a spot similar to the crowd.
The people who came for the sparring ranged from people with lower aura levels than Isilite to those with similar concentrations as high-ranking instructors, but the instructors had superior proficiency in weapon skills.
‘It must have been natural.’
These are the people who came to learn the technique. He couldn’t come to a place where there were weaker instructors than himself.
In Dalian, there were places where it ended in less than 10 seconds, and there were places where it lasted for 10 minutes.
The peculiarity is that there is a brief instructional time after the sparring is over.
Hwanin, who was examining the scene as a whole, leaned his back against the wall and crossed his arms.
‘I don’t feel attracted to other weapons.’
No, to be precise, I didn’t feel any attraction to any of the weapons.
At least, it’s only because I’ve been using the window for a long time and it’s comfortable. Besides, what should I say? Even if you assume that you will fight against the senior instructors, your heart won’t beat.
‘Is it because it’s sparring rather than a life-and-death fight?’
Likewise, I didn’t feel much excitement when I saw the Inho military commander.
He thought about it from the time he ran into an Into occultist named Wi Arei at the Mystic Association, but he was also a Hwanin who thought he was a psychopath.
If he doesn’t restrain himself, he’ll become a psychopath killer, and if he goes further, he’ll become a homicidal maniac.
“…….”
However, Hwanin was reluctant to live a life of avoiding blood.
If you go to Rome, you said follow the laws of Rome, but this is not the earth, but a different world, so you have to follow the laws of this world.
There is nothing more stupid than sticking to non-killing alone in a place where everyone is dying.
Thinking so, Hwanin decided to act while being careful not to go crazy with blood if possible.
Hwanin, who came to a rough conclusion in his mind, from then on carefully observed the sparring between the intermediate spearmanship instructor and the advanced spearmanship instructor.
‘Is this the way to hold a window? Hmm. It changes slightly depending on where you hold the spear when you swing it. The shoulders and waist move as if they are interlocked, and the stride length and step…….’
There was nothing to see about footwork or how to move your feet.
I guess I can feel the instinctive feeling that I shouldn’t have moved like that. If you face an intermediate instructor, you are confident that you can win in less than 10 seconds.
Intermediate instructors were not helpful at all.
The only help was a sword and a spear, three top-notch instructors with bare hands.
However, when they look at Hwanin himself as a standard, not only the footsteps but also the movement method are considered strange.
It is the feeling that the weapon, the limbs, and the body are not united.
Hwanin gave up on other things and only paid attention to the advanced spearmanship instructor’s gripping method, how to grip the spear, and how to move his arms and shoulders.
‘Even if those three get together, I won’t be able to defeat that Bardul then.’
If all three disregard their lives, one of the three will die and the other two will also kill Bardul with fatal wounds such as severed limbs.
But would a person disregard his own life and try to fight a monster like that?
‘It must be difficult.’
It was only then that I understood why the hyena guard at Wayford’s North Gate had such a reaction.
Brillitt’s attitude towards his senior instructor was polite and a little awe-inspiring.
If Brillitt reacted like that, it would be safe to say that the senior instructor was a celebrity in the city.
Even if there were three people like that, it would be difficult to catch him, but he himself doesn’t have an aura, and he’s not that big either.
She lifted her mouth slightly, and the woman with vivid light blue hair who had been standing next to her from earlier spoke to her with a smile.
= What is so interesting? Isn’t it more fun to move directly than to watch?=
“I didn’t laugh in that sense. I remembered Happening for a moment.”
=What happened?=
“It doesn’t sound like a memory worth sharing with you.”
At Hwanin’s cold reply, the woman with her light blue hair widens her eyes and smiles again.
Hwanin’s eyes also look at the woman.
Looking at the depth of the aura, it seems to be 5th grade, but looking at the movement and the natural balance of the body when moving, it is similar to the senior instructors here, or strong if strong, but not lacking.
= But isn’t it hot? A hooded cape in this weather. If you do something wrong, you might be suspected of being a spy?=
“Since I came with an introduction, I won’t be suspicious. More than anything, I don’t even have an aura.”
= Since there is no aura, you may be more suspicious. =
At the woman’s answer, Hwanin removed her expression and stared at her.
Sensing her emotion gone from her face down her nose, the woman backs away slightly and raises her hands in a gesture of surrender.
= I’m sorry. You’re kidding too much.=
“It would be better to go to people who will accept the joke.”
= Yes. It’s not like that. I thought you were a woman, so I started talking to you, but I heard a male voice, so I stopped out of curiosity.=
“…….”
=That hooded cape is a famous brand that women wear more often, although men sometimes wear it. Isn’t that part that looks like a woman?=
To the story that seemed to ask if it wasn’t so, Hwanin turned his head again and answered while watching the advanced spearmanship instructor’s sparring.
“Didn’t you consider the possibility that I might be a Fleur?”
= You say Fleur has an aura that smells like blood like you? I don’t think you’ve seen Fleur.=
“I don’t think there are many people around here who know fleur as well as you do.”
= He…….=
At the mockery mixed with irony, the woman makes an expression like a girl who saw something interesting. Accordingly, when Hwanin’s emotions began to move negatively, the woman opened her mouth.
=My name is Haien Jod, and I am a 5th class fighter with a military attache to Hayen. Why don’t you try sparring with me?=
“I use a spear.”
=There is no guarantee that all enemies use spears.=
“I’m saying that I came to learn spears.”
=Huh.=
As if he didn’t know that he would be rejected, he narrowed his eyes and put a smile on his lips. There was a mixture of emotions like ‘reject my offer?’.
Hwanin’s gaze turned to the animal ears on top of the woman’s head.
Those hairy ears the same color as your hair…… Is it tiger ears? When I look down and look at my waist, I can see the striped tail of a tiger with a blue background.
‘They have similar names, and she must be the daughter of a military commander.’
Hwanin suddenly thought that he wanted to teach a woman who acts as if the world is self-centered that the world is not so easy.
“Good. Dalian, let’s do it.”
She was impulsive, but if she thought so, she would just act.
