Silent Sword -1-
Silent Sword
My hands are shaking.
I’m out of breath.
My heart felt like it would stop beating because of the magic power that was so empty.
Flash still required a lot of mana. Even at level 4, using it once would still leave me exhausted.
You’ll probably be able to use it freely once it’s level 5 and you’ve equipped it with a magic soul.
“That’s amazing!”
Guhyeongwon burst into admiration.
“Are you really a level 4? You really are a talent worthy of the Legion Commander’s attention.”
Hyungwon Koo approaches without hesitation and asks to shake hands.
We held each other’s hands quietly.
Guhyeongwon smiles broadly and then gives a firm squeeze.
This human?
I also put strength into my hands.
His muscles twitched and he began to struggle with the old man.
To be honest, I was a little pushed back.
No matter how much strength, brute force, and endurance a giant has, it is no match for a level 7 superhuman.
If Guhyeongwon had wanted to, he could have crushed my hand and still have more left.
But instead of breaking my hand, Guhyeongwon gave me a friendly pat on the shoulder.
“This is truly an amazing bone! If this is what you have at level 4, it will be quite something to see when you reach higher levels! Take a breather and follow me.”
“The division commander?”
“Yes. There is someone who wants to see you. I can’t refuse.”
Probably the commander.
I examined the body of the association president.
The president of the association is still transformed into a monster.
Your whole body is a treasure trove.
He took with him a mask for his face, a set of red silk clothes, leather shoes with magic letters engraved on them, a magic ring, and a necklace.
‘Do I have anything to write?’
The Lion Knight’s equipment belongs to the old father’s sect, but the association president has nothing like that.
I gathered all my magical weapons and put them in my golf bag.
Director Kang walked in with a smile on his face.
“Hunter Kim! You are truly amazing! I knew Hunter Kim was strong, but I didn’t know you were this strong!”
“You are too kind.”
Your tone has changed again?
Director Kang glanced at the members of the association who were all frozen.
“What are you going to do with those people?”
“well.”
They cannot refuse, no matter what conditions are set.
Even if it costs your life.
“The director will take care of it.”
“Me? Is that okay?”
“Anyway, you know the Hunters’ Association better than I do. And I have no intention of doing anything for the Hunters’ Association.”
“To be honest, I want to use them to promote Mr. Kim Hunter to the president of the association.”
“I don’t like it.”
“Yes? Why? We may have shown you our bad side, but the Hunters’ Association is an influential organization in its own right.”
“My time is so short. I only want to get help from the Hunters’ Guild when I hunt demons.”
Director Kang looks at me with a strange expression.
Exploring eyes.
I just got goosebumps once.
You want me to take charge of the Hunters’ Association?
Are you crazy?
If you have time, go out and work hard to get traits.
“What would you do if you were Hunter Kim?”
“Me? It’s simple.”
I raised my thumb and made a gesture of slitting my throat.
The managers who were listening made dumbfounded expressions.
The same goes for Director Kang.
“No matter what, killing them is a bit······”
“So, Director Kang, do as you please. Kill those who need to be killed, and if you think it’s okay to let them live, then let them live. If I feel uneasy, I’m of the opinion that I’ll kill them no matter what, but Director Kang, aren’t you of a different opinion?”
It’s not an extreme response.
That was my way of surviving in this crazy world, and it was the result of my adaptation.
The bothersome work was passed on to Director Kang.
As I nodded to Ku Hyeong-won, carrying my golf bag on my back, Ku Hyeong-won turned around.
“Follow me. When the hunters have decided on their requirements, they will tell my adjutant.”
“Yes, Commander.”
Guhyeongwon moved his feet without hesitation.
After watching.

A skyscraper that stands like the Devil’s Tower and overlooks the entire city of Cheorwon.
To the place commonly called the King’s Palace.
Sssssss.
The elevator rose quickly.
Guhyeongwon gives me a warning.
“You must be as polite as possible when you meet the commander. The commander is a very easygoing person, but my uncles and I are not like that at all. The same goes for the four hundred and four-legged men. If you are even a little bit of an eyesore, you will not be able to leave Cheorwon in good health.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Come to think of it, Guhyeongwon was the youngest grandson of the corps commander.
Ku Hyeong-won, over 40 years old.
I once again realize how old the corps commander is.
Maybe over 100 years old?
Tiring!
The elevator stopped.
The top floor of the King’s Palace.
The entire floor was occupied by an office used solely by the commander.
The adjutants approached with stern faces and examined both me and Guhyeongwon.
Then speak into the microphone.
“The 4th Division Commander of the Tiger Corps, Major General Ku Hyeong-won, and the Level 4 Superhuman of the Hunter Association, Warrior Kim, have arrived.”
[Send them in.]
A low, deep voice.
The door opened.
As the officers opened the iron door, which must have weighed several tons, with pure brute force, the interior finally came into view.
A bright and cheerful atmosphere.
Instead of walls, the windows that surround the building on all sides let in plenty of sunlight.
It is closer to an observation deck than an office.
The desk at the end.
A man was sitting.
A middle-aged man with gray hair, no wrinkles, and a flushed face who looks like he could only be in his late 40s.
In reality, he is an old man over 100 years old.
It is as big as a bear and has sharp eyes like a tiger.
The black sword hanging behind his back catches my eye once again.
There was a row of well-built men and women sitting in front of the man, but only the man was visible.
‘That’s the commander······’
The magic wave is not felt.
That means you have complete control.
Instead, the pressure of humanity itself hit him on the shoulder like a hammer.
Guhyeongwon approached and bent his waist at a 90 degree angle.
“Commander. I brought you.”
“Okay.”
The commander looked straight at me.
I greeted him politely, but not servilely.
“Hello. It’s an honor to meet you. My name is Kim Jeonsa.”
“Oh, yeah. I enjoyed the duel. Who is your master? If he raised a warrior like you, I wouldn’t know.”
“There is no teacher.”
“does not exist?”
“yes.”
“Wouldn’t you have a teacher who taught you the basics of swordsmanship?”
“Ah, I learned basic swordsmanship from Chief Seo Woo-jin of Jeilbo Security.”
“Chief Seo Woo-jin?”
The commander asks back, seemingly puzzled.
Guhyeongwon answered on his behalf.
“Did you know that the Jegeommun and Ilgeommun Somunju got married and created Jeilboan?”
“I know. There was a lot of noise for a while about the two opposing families uniting.”
“The child born from those two is Seo Woo-jin. He just turned 20 this year. He became a hot topic when he got a level 5 on his first certification.”
“Huh, it’s amazing that those bloody bastards got married and had a child, and that child is over twenty? Yes, I remember hearing it from the adjutant last time. He said he learned the basics of swordsmanship from that guy?”
“Yes, Commander.”
“Are you really saying you don’t have a teacher? Even if you have basic swordsmanship skills, you seem to have quite a bit of experience.”
“I learned a lot of things while trying to survive.”
“Does that mean you taught yourself?”
“Yes.”
The commander glares at me like a tiger stalking a deer.
The superhumans sitting in a row laughed bitterly.
Some people gave me disapproving looks that made the back of my head itch so badly.
“Actually, the movements were quite messy. The swordsmanship was only basic and the movement coordination was very awkward. Isn’t that right?”
“It definitely was.”
“It has not been touched by the hands of the nobles.”
“If you learn swordsmanship properly, you will become several times stronger.”
“I was sorry for the body I was born with. My physical abilities and magical power control were excellent, but that was all.”
“I have the sense, but my swordsmanship is at the level of a back-alley gangster.”
“Everyone saw it clearly.”
The commander stares at me intently.
An intangible force was groping me.
Every single muscle strand, every bone structure, every blood vessel thickness, and even the distribution of magical power circuits.
Are all level 8 superhumans like that?
I couldn’t help but be nervous.
I didn’t show the trait change in front of the Sun Tower, but the legion commander must have seen me change my trait.
‘No. You won’t know about my trait change.’
Because the legion commander is a warrior type.
Because it doesn’t have any characteristics like detection or insight.
“So, let me make you a proposition.”
The superhumans all made expressions of disgust.
Everyone has a look on their face like, “Again?”
I’m starting to get the hang of it too.
In the game, the Eastern Army Corps Commander says the same thing.
“Kim Jeon-sa, don’t you want to become my disciple?”
Disciple, disciple.
It was pretty good in the game.
If you become a disciple, you will be assigned to the Eastern Army and grow. If you are a warrior-type superhuman, you will learn the martial arts of the legion commander and fight against the demons of the ceasefire line, so rapid growth is guaranteed.
What if I refuse?
There are no special disadvantages.
Anyway, there are so many hunting grounds in the game.
It’s a shame that you can’t learn the Legion Commander’s martial arts, but there are many swordsmanship and magic training methods that are comparable to it.
‘What should I do?’
After thinking about it for a moment, I made a decision.
This suggestion is clearly a good one.
This might be the fastest way for me to get to level 9.
but······
If I want to achieve my ultimate goal, I can’t take the easy way out.
You have to take the difficult path.
If other people saw me, they’d think I was crazy.
“I’m sorry. It’s a great honor and I appreciate your words, but I want to go my own way.”
“Ahem, right. Good idea. Now, the rite of passage… No, what did you say?”
The commander nodded and opened his eyes wide.
I guess he thought I would accept it, of course.
I spoke again, strengthening my voice.
“I’m sorry, Commander. I want to go my own way.”
“Wait a minute, did you refuse to become my disciple?”
“Yes. Sorry.”
He got up from his seat and bowed politely.
A flood of astonishing gazes pour in.
It’s not just the legion commander.
The superhumans present were also looking at me with their mouths wide open as if they were looking at a crazy person.
“Is that crazy?”
“Who dares!”
“Opportunity of a lifetime!”
“I must show you an example!”
“That kid!”
Some people just roll up their sleeves and stand up.
As the surroundings became noisy, the commander shouted.
“It’s noisy!”
The atmosphere is freezing right now.
The commander asked me with sharp eyes.
“Why? Don’t you know what it means to become my disciple? In this Republic of Korea, there are people who would sell their souls to become my disciple, and Yeouido is full of them. So you refuse? Why?”
I chose my words carefully.
“I have a dream.”
“What?”
“It’s level 9.”
Level 9.
A constellation of which there are only four at present.
Later in the game, level 9s are abundant, but for now, that’s it.
“flaw.”
The commander laughed briefly.
“Don’t you need a proper teacher to become a level 9? If you train without a teacher and rely only on your innate body, you will definitely lose your way. You are a warrior, not a reinforced soldier. In order for a warrior to become stronger, advanced swordsmanship, training methods, and enlightenment are absolutely necessary. With your poor swordsmanship and crude movements, you will never reach level 9, or even level 8, let alone level 7. You may not know it now since you are on a roll, but those bad habits will eventually catch up with you.”
The commander speaks softly as if he is comforting his young grandson.
My heart ached a little.
Because no one ever told me that.
Except for my father who has already passed away and my mother whose face I can’t even remember.
But instead of accepting, I straightened my back.
“I have already found my path. Whether it is right or wrong, I will try to follow my path.”
“Hmm. Are you sure that there is a 9th level at the end of that path, a constellation?”
“I am sure.”
The commander is watching me.
The superhumans who were listening twisted their mouths.
It seems like he doesn’t like the fact that he’s standing up straight in front of the heavenly commander.
“Let’s see, let’s see, you’re just a puppy······”
“How dare you, how dare you!”
“These days, young people are just so easy-going.”
“I have to show you the hot taste······”
But it’s coming soon.
Life was overflowing.
There were no magical waves. Only pure momentum and mental power were pressing down on me.
All I could see was the corps commander.
Two glaring eyes filled my vision.
A tremendous murderous intent becomes a type of sword and stabs my entire body.
A tingling sensation on my skin, a dizzying sensation, a sensation as if my brain had been stabbed with a sword shook my ego.
But it holds on.
[Giant’s Power][Diamond Body][Immortal]
[Resolution][Self-restraint][Fighting spirit]
Basic trinity build.
Here we add some traits that will help with mental defense.
I didn’t use any magical weapons.
I held on solely with my own strength.
I strained my eyes and glared at the commander.
It felt like I was standing before a tiger bigger than a mountain.
It feels like my mind is falling apart piece by piece, but I somehow hold on.
Chewing my tongue and biting my lower lip, I resisted until my fingernails dug into my palms and blood flowed out.
The commander is said to be able to kill people with just a look, but he couldn’t make me kneel.
It didn’t even make me bend my back.
“flaw.”
The commander who eventually decides to live with a short smile.
I immediately got up from my seat and bowed deeply.
“Excuse me.”
“Isn’t that rude, you little brat?”
He looks surprisingly cheerful even though he was rejected in person.
“Old!”
He pulled the black sword hanging behind his back with a hollowed-out blade and threw it to me along with its sheath.
The commander of the corps smiled broadly when he unexpectedly received it.
“It’s yours now.”
uh······
What did you say?
You’re giving me an SSR grade sword, the Silent Sword?
A moment of silence.
Soon screams, howls, and shouts erupted in a loud noise.
