Chapter 105

Episode 105

Hyeonmu Daewon, who took on the role of referee, raised his voice and introduced the competitor.

“Seonhye Dojang, a disciple of Ewha Womans University of Shamanism!”

I sighed and scratched the back of my head.

I felt anxious from the moment I got up on the non-stage and faced the other person.

A young female shaman.

A small body that is not typical of a warrior.

Plus, it even has an appearance that reminds me of the disfigurement machine that I obtained at the request of Hao Mun.

All conditions matched.

‘That’s a pain in the ass.’

A conversation I had with Damun in the past came to mind.

[What happened to the lover who broke up?]

[Belatedly, I became concerned and found out that he fell in love with a Taoist monk passing by on the street and became a disciple of the Shaman sect.] It turns out that

the opponent he encountered in the first match of the finals was Suha’s former lover. .

What kind of trick of fate is this?

It didn’t bother me that the referee blatantly gave a long explanation about Seonhye’s dojo or that the audience cheered her one-sidedly.

‘What should I do?’

Since the opponent was the opponent, I couldn’t help but worry.

Originally, he tried to stamp out and suppress whoever he met with overwhelming force.

To leave a strong impression on the watching public.

‘Should I save some face?’

A thought momentarily crossed my mind that I would be suitable for a sum of 50 to 50 sum.

‘No, that won’t work.’

If there was an equal match in the first match and an overwhelming performance in the second match, the people watching could not help but feel a sense of discomfort.

Above all, the person involved, Seonhye Dojang, could have had her pride hurt.

‘Should we conduct a moderate search and then suddenly target a blind spot in the field of vision?’

All kinds of thoughts came to my mind.

What should you do to win while naturally saving your opponent’s face?

‘Tsk. ‘Since when did I start caring about useless things like this?’

The worries did not last long.

I don’t know when I started to have such soft-hearted thoughts about how I should be considerate of Suha’s lover.

Was it influenced by him knowingly or unknowingly as he hung out with Baekdo Moorim’s later exponents?

‘We’re going according to the original plan.’

By showing the overwhelming gap, the name Yeonsun is imprinted in the minds of the public.

I decided not to think about anything else other than that.

“start!”

As the referee lowered his hand and shouted, he kicked the ground and invaded the opponent’s gap.

Dojang Seonhye calmly retreated and opened the Taesan Tack.

I struck back by raising my sword, which had been filled with energy, diagonally.

Whoops!

The moment sword and sword collided, an enormous collision sound hit the eardrums.

Seonhye Dojang, who was defeated in the power battle, stumbled over Shinhyeong and looked embarrassed.

‘Let’s end the match quickly. ‘You can think about how to improve the relationship between Damun and Seonhye’s dojo later.’

* * *

The match went one-sided.

I did not let go of the initiative and continued to push Seonhye Dojang.

After the first collision, she avoided force confrontations and demonstrated movements that focused on evasion and counterattack.

The characteristic of a shaman’s martial arts is Yu (流).

As it is a swordsmanship specialized for blocking the opponent’s attacks and counterattacking, it has many useful aspects when fighting a higher-level opponent.

However, how big should the gap be?

There was a high wall between me and her that couldn’t be overcome by compatibility or wit.

There was no need to start an upward movement.

Just linking Chosik in the first half was enough to push the opponent into a corner.

There was a hint of nervousness in Seonhye Dojang’s eyes.

There was no longer any place for her to retreat to.

As we continued to rush in, we reached the end of the non-stage.

However, his movements and tactics were extremely difficult, perhaps because he had gained considerable practical experience.

Even though it had already reached its peak several years ago, it could not help but struggle.

“Phew...”

Changin Dojang let out a rough breath and shook the blood off his sword.

It was a shame because the turning blow worked, and he almost lost the first match.

“Keuheuk!”

The other person was kneeling on the ground and shedding tears of sorrow.

Blood was flowing out from the deep cut on my shoulder.

‘It can’t go on like this.’

Changin Dojang bit his lips tightly.

He watched Yeon Yeon-un compete from a special seat given to participants who advanced to the finals of the competition.

The opponent, a female swordsman from the Shaman faction, was not a very talented person, but even taking that into account, Yeonsun’s inaction was by no means ordinary.

‘I mean, I didn’t pass the preliminaries just for show.’

I felt a sense of crisis.

I thought that depending on Daejinwoon, I might lose the bet.

Since the price of the bet is the price, such a situation should never have occurred.

“I can’t lose to a guy with mediocre background.”

He narrowed his eyes and muttered.

It seemed like something needed to be done.

* * *

Late evening.

My group and I sat together in the restaurant on the first floor of the guest house and ate as usual.

“.......”

I glanced at the seat next to me and clicked my tongue.

After hearing what happened during the day, Damun only nibbled on his chopsticks and did not put any food into his mouth.

It must have been embarrassing for him.

Even though Amman did not commit it himself, how could he ignore his parents’ sins?

On the other hand, Cheonwoo Dojang ate in an uncharacteristically calm manner.

For reference, he has not yet played his first match in the finals.

Because the order was delayed, it looked like the game would only be played around tomorrow evening.

I didn’t think he would fail, as his skills were his skills.

If they went on smoothly like this, they would face me in the semifinals.

Seo Ho-seon, who was quietly drinking, turned to me and asked.

“But why did you order me to watch the martial arts competition? “Seeing as he instructed me to watch from beginning to end, it doesn’t seem like he was trying to brag about his inaction.”

“Isn’t it a fun attraction? Since I participated in the Yongbong branch, I have to see the representative event.”

“Is that really the reason?”

“Why weren’t you having fun?”

“It was fun, but...”

“Take a good look at the faces of those who participated in the competition and the martial arts characteristics and habits they display.”

“Is there any reason to do that?”

“there is.”

I nodded with a faint smile on my face.

He then tipped his drink and sent a message to Seo Ho-seon.

-Samurai Seo will have to assassinate some of them in the near future.

“...!”

Seo Ho-seon put down his drink and cleared his throat as if the case had stopped by.

Unlike Cheonwoo Dojang, he did not cause a disaster by spitting out the alcohol in his mouth.

After barely catching his breath, he looked at me with devastated eyes and asked.

-Are you telling me to assassinate them?

-yes.

-How can I assassinate them? They have a background!

-It will be possible. I will support you to make it possible.

I responded casually and pushed the food in my mouth down my throat.

Cheon Ga-ryeong looked at me and Seo Ho-seon in turn with a puzzled expression.

-So don’t worry about that part.

-How can you not worry!
