Episode 315
The training ground was quiet.
Because the timing was right, everyone was busy with work.
Suho stood in the center of the training ground and spoke while carrying his luggage on his back.
“What is your level?”
“It’s 133.”
“Huh? Is that all there is to it?”
“But it’s still at least mid-level or higher.”
“Oh, is that so?”
Suho scratched his head.
It was because I only focused on raising my own level and didn’t really care about other people’s levels.
Well, whatever.
There is also a way to use the Ring of Sacrifice to level up instead.
Suho asked.
“Okay. Just give it a try.”
“Okay, but this is my first time here, so where is the wooden sword?”
“Don’t you have a real sword?”
“yes?”
“Use a real sword. You probably have a knife in your inventory.”
“That’s true, but… … Are you serious?”
“You want me to say it twice? Why? Do you think I’m bluffing?”
“That’s not it, but… … .”
“If you get hurt, I’ll heal you, so do it with a real sword. Have you forgotten? I’m a healer. And there’s no reason for me to get hit by your sword in the first place.”
“……All right.”
Was that last comment a bit harsh?
embrace.
That’s serious.
Because it was a provocation deliberately intended to provoke someone.
‘You have to get angry a little to get your true feelings out.’
Anger, if handled well, can be a powerful fuel.
Soon, the provoked Park Yong took out his sword from his inventory.
Park Yong said, holding the sword.
“I will swing it with the intention of really cutting it.”
“Yes. If a man draws his sword, he should cut at least some things. Of course, this time he won’t be able to cut anything.”
Crackle.
A blood vessel bulges on Park Yong’s forehead.
But he is also a professional inspector.
He quickly calmed down and then took on a cool attitude.
Suho did not draw his sword as he had said.
Instead, he didn’t take his eyes off Park Yong, who had taken the target.
Soon, Park Yong begins to move.
humming!
A sword that flies straight and honestly.
But it has power.
Suho distanced himself according to Park Yong’s method.
Then, Park Yong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly and he immediately entered the link.
Boom! Boom! Bang!
Swing, swing, and scream.
But this time it doesn’t reach.
Suho still moved in sync with Park Yong’s movements with his characteristically relaxed expression.
Maybe that’s why.
As time passed, Park Yong became more and more impatient.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Bang!
Striking, stabbing, cutting, swinging.
There was no unnecessary decoration in Park Yong’s swordsmanship.
The method was also clean.
It was clear that a lot of research had been done.
He was not a man who swung his sword instinctively, but rather a man who studied thoroughly and developed a swordsmanship style that suited him.
But despite that kind of swordsmanship, Suho narrowed his eyes.
‘hmm.’
Boom! Kik! Kik! Boom! Kik! Boom! Boom! Bang!
The sound of a sword being swung.
The sound of the soles of your shoes sliding against the training ground floor.
After a while of just the sound of sparring without any conversation, Suho, who had been avoiding them, struck out with his palm for the first time.
Bam!
The place where the palm of my hand hit was Park Yong’s chin.
The palm raised from below struck Park Yong’s chin, and Park Yong’s brain shook for a moment as his eyes rolled back in his head after being hit in the vital spot.
But soon I came to my senses and could only stand there with a dazed expression.

Suho asked.
“Are you coming to your senses?”
“……yes.”
“I saw your swordsmanship well. What do you think is lacking in your swordsmanship?”
“Actually, I don’t know. That’s why I asked for a map match because I wanted to know.”
Suho nodded.
“Why did you become a prosecutor?”
“I became a swordsman because I liked swordsmanship. I used a sword even before my awakening.”
embrace.
Park Yong was a criminal in his past life, so we learned most of his history while investigating his identity.
In that sense, he was a person who purely loved swordsmanship.
Usually, people train in swordsmanship for reasons such as taking over the family business or taking revenge, but he became a swordsman because he really loved swordsmanship.
“Have you by any chance acquired any unique swordsmanship skills?”
“I haven’t done it yet.”
“Why do you think you couldn’t do it?”
“I think it’s because I’m lacking.”
“That’s a mechanical answer.”
“But I think it’s the most fundamental answer. I think we shouldn’t look for reasons outside ourselves.”
“That’s right. It’s a great mindset. In that sense, your swordsmanship is great. When I look at it, I can hardly see any unnecessary movements. It means there’s no unnecessary detail. So why haven’t you mastered the swordsmanship skill?”
“I don’t know.”
“It’s simple. The sword techniques you are using now were not created by you.”
“yes?”
“The swordsmanship you just used was created by combining various swordsmanship books and videos of various inspectors. That’s why it wasn’t recognized as an independent swordsmanship by the system.”
It was literal.
The reason Suho was able to have the swordsmanship called Suhogeom recognized by the system was because there was a Suhogeom that he had personally created in his previous life.
There are two types of swordsmen players in the Cataclysm era.
Prosecutors with their own swordsmanship skills and those without.
And among those who walked the path of pure inspection, the ones who survived to the end were all the former.
It can’t be helped.
Because what was important to the inspector was not the sword, but swordsmanship.
Park Yong hesitated for a moment at Suho’s answer and then tilted his head.
“But don’t most people study by looking at other people’s work? No, in the first place, isn’t it rare to create something from nothing?”
“No. I know this doesn’t make sense. So to be more specific, in order for your swordsmanship to be recognized by the system, you need to incorporate more of your individuality into the existing swordsmanship system. For what reason did you come to advocate this style of swordsmanship?”
“Personality?”
“There is no such thing as perfect swordsmanship in the world. But when I look at the sword you swing, I get the strong feeling that it is meticulously calculated to achieve optimum efficiency. It’s a bit like math, isn’t it? You need to put that down.”
“… … .”
Park Yong-yi furrows his brows.
I clearly heard it in Korean, but I didn’t understand what it was saying.
Suho felt sorry for Park Yong.
‘Hmm, this is such a shame.’
In his previous life, Park Yong was one of the few swordsmen players who had mastered a unique swordsmanship skill called ‘Gwanggeomsul’.
And the reason why light swordsmanship was born was because of his obsession with swordsmanship.
He didn’t perfect his swordmanship and go hunting for inspectors.
He went hunting for inspectors to create the light sword technique.
‘Park Yong-eun became a crazy swordsman who swung his sword to defeat his opponents, instead of just pursuing optimal efficiency. That was the origin of the light sword technique.’
Simply put, for his swordsmanship to be perfected, he must have an obsession with victory… …in other words, a certain degree of madness.
But this time, before the madness could even come out, Suho hugged him in his arms.
So I was worried.
If I had ignored him this time, he would have learned the art of swordsmanship on his own.
But thanks to Suho’s intervention, he doesn’t have to go to other prosecutors.
After thinking for a while, Suho came up with a good idea.
Suho said, raising the corners of his lips.
“Dragon.”
“Yes, sir.”
“What is the sword you are pursuing?”
“The sword I pursue… … It may sound childish, but it is an invincible sword. A swordsmanship that stands above all other swordsmanship.”
“It’s not childish at all. All inspectors have such a romantic dream. But why did you, who has such a romantic dream, come to see me?”
“That’s because, of all the prosecutors I know, you are the strongest.”
“Then, by your standards, I would be the best prosecutor?”
“Yes, at least by my standards, the director is the best, including the overseas inspectors.”
“Then if you beat me, you will become the world’s greatest swordsman.”
“Logically speaking, I guess that could be seen as true.”
“Then from today onwards, your target is me.”
“yes?”
“Don’t set your sights on anything else, and swing your sword with the sole purpose of defeating me. Then, your swordsmanship will naturally develop to defeat me, and that will become your individuality. Until that day comes, I will fully support you.”
If someone heard this, they might say it was nonsense.
But Suho was sincere.
Park Yong’s swordsmanship is the crystallization of his obsession with victory and madness.
And the reason Park Yong was caught by Su-ho was because he showed up on his own to defeat Su-ho, who was starting to make a name for himself as a prosecutor.
Park Yong was silent for a moment after hearing Suho’s words.
Then he immediately bowed his back.
“thank you.”
“what?”
“As the manager said, I actually applied to the Daeheonhyeop because of you. And I also had a dream of defeating you someday. However, I have no independent swordsmanship skills, so I thought it was not the time for me to say such things, so I held back. I am truly grateful that you said it first.”
Suho chuckled at those words.
“It’s good that you’re honest. I knew it when you became obsessed with your own training and sparring. But it won’t be as easy as you thought. After all, you’re a civil servant and have work to do. Just do all you have to do to practice swordsmanship. That’s the condition for me to support you.”
“Yes, of course I will do my best and practice.”
“You’ll probably have to level up diligently. Since you’re a special class, I’m going to put you in the gate whether you like it or not.”
“Yes, I will survive until the end without dying at the gate until I can defeat the manager.”
“Okay, any questions?”
“I don’t have any questions, but I do have a request.”
“What is it?”
“If it’s okay with you, sir, please show me your guardian sword technique just once.”
“I wonder?”
To show a proper goal point, it would be better to first give an example.
Suho thought for a moment, then set up training structures in the training grounds so that he could demonstrate his swordsmanship.
Then he showed the steel cut, cloud cut, and heart cut respectively.
Then, the training steel structure was cut cleanly, and the training structures in the distance were cut away at the same time, and among the overlapping structures, only the one at the back was cut cleanly.
The ring cutting was not shown.
I think I can show you this slowly later.
“My swordsmanship can be said to be practical swordsmanship solely for conquering gates. For example, in order to overcome the limitations of a swordsman, I developed my swordsmanship by borrowing the power of systems and skills. We are not the martial artists of martial arts novels, so I don’t think things like herbal medicine are very meaningful. Of course, if you look deeply into it, it’s all related, but it’s the curse of knowledge. If you know too much, your head will hurt.”
Suho continued speaking while putting away his blood weapon.
“In that sense, I’ll give you the first task. You know the Nameless Sword Gate among the Sealed-level Gates, right? I’ll create a guy who is exactly like the Sword Emperor of the Nameless Sword Gate in Infinity, so first, defeat that guy. After I defeated that guy, I started being called the Sword God.”
“All right.”
“Okay, then do well on the remaining exams. Also, prepare well for the upcoming purification unification operation. I’ll go first.”
“Yes, please come in.”
Suho leaves the training ground first.
And after Suho left, Park Yong went straight back to the multipurpose room and started studying the tongs materials.
A new vitality begins to appear in Park Yong’s eyes.
