Episode 263
“day… … .”
There was a smile in the feed’s voice.
The man, who was, at least in appearance, more heroic than anyone I had ever seen, asked as if he were thinking about it.
“Don’t you know how much a day as an S-class hero is worth?”
“I know. Well, I’m asking you this. Access to the sacred sites of the Cheonik tribe is clearly a huge right. If I trade that right, wouldn’t I be able to live as an S-class hero for a day?”
After speaking, it became a bit rude.
So, I was telling this man to weigh the value of [A Day in the Life of an S-Class Hero] and [Access to Holy Land].
Maybe it’s a slightly cowardly way of speaking… … .
If the feed is a Celestial Race, and he is a descendant of a noble lineage, it will be difficult for him to refuse my request.
“That’s bold. “Pretty rude.”
“… … .”
“However, at the same time, the line is not crossed. It’s refreshing. “Strangely, I don’t feel bad.”
I laughed to myself.
If there had been no sparring last night, I don’t think there would have been that kind of reaction.
He must have felt insulted as soon as he heard this, and immediately showed his strength and put pressure on him.
In fact, even if I react like that, I have nothing to say, so I am making a request without conscience.
There are probably hundreds of people who want to spar with an S-class hero for guidance.
Among them, there are probably a lot of people who are willing to pay thousands of dollars.
In fact, there is no need to even use this analogy, and it is easier to consider how much the feed can earn if it devotes a full day to focusing on requests.
The minimum amount is several dozen gold, but depending on the request, twice that much is possible.
“I accept it. “I was planning on staying in Heros for a few more days anyway.”
“Because of this A-level request?”
“I see. It’s a situation where we need to hire more people. “I’ve only seen ten people.”
“Hmm… … .”
I looked at the request again.
What was puzzling was that this request form only contained the request level, number of participants, and the name of the representative feed, but no other information.
‘I don’t think all requests are in this format.’
The B-class request form I just handed over to Verita had detailed mission details.
As I was puzzled, the feed explained.
“For most Class A missions, the details are completely hidden. “The information is only shared with those who have been proven through several screenings.”
“aha.”
“For your information, you are fully qualified. Do you want to hear it?”
“hmm… … .”
I thought for a moment and said.
“If I hear it, do I have to accept that request?”
“Not really. However, this matter must be kept completely secret. “You must not disclose this to your acquaintances or fellow clan members.”
“Then I just won’t listen. “I’m not the kind of person who speaks loudly.”
“is it.”
The feed nodded without making any further recommendations, and then returned to the main topic.
“It’s difficult to devote a whole day to you. I also have a schedule. Do it like this. I heard that Corrupted will be returning to base in two days, so I will spar with you for four hours each today and tomorrow. “How is it?”
“hmm.”
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to cross swords with this man all day, but it would be inefficient in many ways.
If you divide it into two days, you can review today’s sparring and prepare for the next day’s sparring.
Since the digestion process was as important as increasing experience, this might actually be better.
“Let’s do that.”
“When should we do it today?”
“How about right away? “If you have time.”
“hmm. Is that so? “Then let’s go to the training ground.”
I saw Verita.
This guy, who was concentrating on the request, lowered his head slightly when our eyes met.
“Go ahead, brother. “I will organize it before you come.”
“please.”
“of course.”
Berita grinned.
* * *
I move to Heros’ training ground with the feed, but somehow I go higher and higher.
“Where are you going?”
“deck.”
“deck… … ?”
“ah… It’s slang. To put it simply, it is a training hall on the rooftop, and it is a special place that only the S class can use.”
“hmm. “I’m not S-class.”
“It is possible to bring up to one person.”
“aha… … .”
I climbed the stairs, climbed, and climbed until I reached the rooftop.
Fuuuuuuuung-!
Immediately after opening the rooftop door, an incredibly strong wind blew.
My hair and eyebrows were flying violently, and it was difficult to open my eyes. I narrowed my gaze and looked at the rooftop.

It wasn’t a typhoon, and there was no reason for such strong winds to suddenly blow.
I saw a man standing in the center of the rooftop.
With his upper body completely naked, he was holding a great sword the size of his own body, and his enormously trained muscles were impressive, like a master who had honed his external skills to the limit.
It’s not just about the bulk of the muscles.
The shape is perfect and the development area is even. This was a fact that anyone with keen eyesight would know.
Huuuuuung-!
And surprisingly, this strong wind was a strong sword wind that blew every time the man swung his sword.
Being on the rooftop meant that that person was S-class… … .
Coincidentally, it was a familiar face.
“huh? you… … .”
Maksim, the broken sword, stopped cutting, looked over, and burst into laughter.
“Aren’t you the protagonist of this promotion battle? “It was a pretty impressive match.”
Then Feed, who was standing next to him, spoke.
“Were you acquainted with Pacheongeom?”
“… “I briefly ran into him at the island last time.”
“hmm.”
Maxim came running after a month and looked at us in turn and asked.
“Pyd, you too? What a refreshing combination. “What’s going on?”
“How else could two people come to the training ground?”
“Ohh… … . Are you trying to teach me something?”
“It’s like sparring plus teaching.”
Maxim nodded in understanding and looked at me with curious eyes.
“You are amazing. To be given the time of this noble knight… … . “I heard that he doesn’t give time to his fellow countrymen or even his children.”
“… Did you have any children?”
“Because my teaching won’t be of any help to those children. “It’s just not the time yet.”
Pyd sighed and looked at Maxim with an annoyed look on his face.
“So Maxim. “How long are you going to interfere?”
“What? Excuse me. “Let it pass.”
Maxim moved out of the way of his rock-like body, but instead of leaving, he sat down nearby and watched us.
It looks like he’s thinking about taking a look.
“Can I look around like that?”
“There is no choice. “If we use the outdoor training hall or the Gymnasion where the last promotion match was held, there will be a lot more spectators.”
“hmm… … .”
It would certainly be a spectacle for an unspecified number of people, so it would be much better for Maxim to see it alone.
We stood side by side on the training ground.
I thought the fight would start right away without saying anything, but the feed just before said something strange.
“Do you know the difference between [sparring like a real fight] and [a real fight like a sparring match]?”
“yes?”
It’s a sudden question.
I thought about it in various ways and tried to answer whatever came to mind.
“hmm… … . “I think the latter might be more effective than the former.”
“Hoo. why?”
“No matter how much you pretend to be a real fight, sparring is sparring. Before you start, there is a difference in your mindset. On the other hand, even if it is in the form of a sparring match, if it is a real match, you will do your best from the beginning. “I don’t think the difference is small.”
“Right.”
The feed nodded.
“It was a question and answer without a clear answer, so I guess we can say that your answer is the correct answer.”
“What is the purpose of your question?”
“It’s simple. “Choose which one you want.”
I said with a laugh.
“I would like to ask you to hold a real match like sparring.”
Feed smiled at my words.
“Didn’t I say it was more difficult?”
“That’s right.”
“You might get hurt.”
“I will take it into consideration.”
“good. “Then let’s begin.”
The feed turned its window like a windmill and rushed straight towards me.
Should I start with spearmanship first?
I immediately took the eclipse, then drew the Seven Deadly Sins Sword and responded with the Galaxy Sword.
Kakakakang!
It is a spear technique that leaves you amazed even if you experience it again.
The feed was flawless as it did not just involve stabbing with the tip of a spear, but also included batting skills using a spear pole, sometimes slashing down, and even basic martial arts skills.
This is my first time fighting a drone so complete.
Does it feel like you are attacking Cheolongseong Fortress, which has no weak points?
The reason I was able to land a blow last time was because this man didn’t use a spear and instead attacked me with a box fight.
Paang!
The chair containing the history exploded on the window sill.
Although the attack was blocked, Feed’s body was pushed back without being able to overcome the impact.
“… … .”
I thought it would attack me right away, but it didn’t. The feed looked like she was thinking about something and then she asked me.
“Has your right hand recovered from the injury yet?”
“… Yes? “I overexerted myself again this time, so I think it will probably take a week or two to fully heal.”
“I’m sorry.”
I laughed at the sudden apology.
“What’s new?”
“I felt it last time too, but you seem quite used to sparring with the strong.”
“It’s not a lot.”
“Right. “I never thought I’d say this, but I don’t have any advice.”
The feed looked at me and said.
“Your martial arts has already advanced into its own territory. I am stronger than you now, but the path to martial arts I pursue is different, so my advice would be meaningless. What you need now is time. To be more precise, it will be physical growth, mana improvement, and digestion and re-establishment of the martial arts you have learned.”
“… … .”
I was a little surprised.
As of today, this is only my second competition… … . The feed lets me know exactly what stage I am in and what areas I am stuck in.
“Are you planning to take both the sword and martial arts with you?”
“That’s right.”
Originally, the main force was the Hundred Sunshine, and the Galaxy Sword was considered a secondary means… … .
It’s different now.
I plan to train the Galaxy Sword as well as the Baek Il Sik.
“Then I have nothing to teach you. But I think I can give you some advice on what’s lacking.”
“What is it?”
“First of all, there is an absolute lack of long-distance or long-distance attack methods.”
“hmm… … .”
I was depressed and had no choice but to say yes.
“Of course, it’s a chronic disease that most military officers and prosecutors suffer from. Your improvisation was amazing. He moved considering not only the surrounding situation but also the environment. But that alone is not enough to get past the first class. A good archer can pierce a bug’s wing from hundreds of meters away.”
“… … .”
“Use the terrain, throw a sword… “It means that even such fighting methods have their limits.”
“Umm… … . “I understand what you mean, but doesn’t a person ultimately have an aptitude?”
“Are you saying long-range attacks are not your aptitude?”
“I don’t know about that, but I think I need to hone in on what I’m good at first. “Actually, I only recently decided to focus on knife cutting, but I’m worried that if I learn other things here, I might run out of energy.”
Then the feed nodded.
“Completely digest what you have learned… … . That’s a great attitude for an unmanned person. But the hero who deals with the church is a bit different.”
“yes?”
“What Heros pursues is omnipotence. The one who can handle everything, in any situation, in any state, can stand at the top of this Heros. “Like your father.”
Peed said, swinging his spear once.
“… “To begin with, I didn’t have any talent for spearmanship.”
“Is that so?”
I was quite surprised.
Feed’s spear skills were at the level of a master. This means that it is not a skill that has been honed for a day or two.
“My main focus is the protection of the heavenly wind. This, combined with my racial characteristics, creates a storm that can overwhelm my opponents. I never got hurt until I reached A level. “This is true of most people who have reached S-class now.”
“I’m hurt a lot?”
When Maxim, who was watching, joined in, Pyd shook his head.
“Didn’t you go around hurting yourself on purpose? “They say that a bare body without a single wound is not the quality of a warrior.”
“Did I do that? Hahaha!”
“… Anyway, did you understand what I wanted to say?”
“understand.”
We must accept the advice given by the feed now.
That’s because it’s not advice given as a master better than me, but as a senior hero.
‘It won’t hurt if you have combat experience, but… … .’
It is true that I have absolutely little experience confronting the devil or the religious order.
“Then, shall we start again?”
I nodded and continued sparring with Knight of Heavenly Wind again.
* * *
Four hours passed in the blink of an eye.
“Whoop, whoop…” … .”
Of course, it was like that in hindsight, and in reality, my body and mind were tired as if I had been sparring for four days.
I was out of breath, my whole body drenched in sweat.
Did you say it was a real match like sparring?
Now I felt like I truly understood what those words meant.
The sparring with the feed was very systematic.
I felt like I used all the muscles in my body while fighting, and this was possible because my feed level was higher than mine.
Does it feel like a guide to the game of baduk that I played with my teacher a few times?
I don’t know if he knew it himself, but this man seemed to have a natural talent for education.
Perhaps more than the ten great criminals in Badniker.
Thanks to these four hours of training, I naturally realized what I was lacking.
“Compared to my lower body, my upper body muscles are disappointing. There is a bit of a waste in using mana… … .”
Maxim, who was watching, touched his chin and muttered.
This is a fact that is difficult to deny.
‘Of course, S-class is still a bit far away… … .’
Is it like knowing once again that there is a long way to go?
But strangely enough, I didn’t feel anything particularly bad.
“Well, don’t be too discouraged. At 16, if you can do that, you will have no rivals among your peers. “Whatever happened last time, except for the extra-standard monster that blew up Gimnacion.”
“for a moment… “Sixteen?”
Pyd said, as if slightly embarrassed by Maxim’s words.
“But… … ?”
I reflexively touched my face.
I guess I’m not that presbyopic?
“ah. “I heard you have black fairy blood, so I thought you might be older than you look.”
“aha… … .”
“But you’re sixteen… … . Such an achievement at that age… … .”
Feed, who was perplexed, muttered to himself, then looked at me with a suddenly changed expression and said.
“… “Hey, is the wedding still happening?”
“yes?”
“My daughter is around the same age as you. What do you think? She is a true and smart child. I’m sure you’ll like it too… … .”
“That’s it.”
What kind of nonsense is this guy suddenly talking about?
