CH 138

Roman Dmitry's People (2)

Six people representing Roman.

They each had their own reputation.

Chris and Kevin were famous in the northeast area.

Chris was called Dmitry's genius swordsman even before he was active on the battlefield, and he showed great performances like Kevin in the battle against Barco.

A creature called Cairo's Flash and Demon.

There were many people who had actually seen their power, so people wanted to avoid a fight with the two as much as possible.

Volcan and Pooky.

They overwhelm people with their origin and appearance.

The fact that he was a war mercenary meant an unfavorable experience, and in the first place, his physical appearance with one head larger than others made those watching him tremble in fear.

Despite the fact that they have a lower reputation than the previous two figures, those who faced their existence in real life had no choice but to avoid their gaze without realizing it.

against them

McBurney and Henderson.

They were both so shabby.

McBurney may have been a great fighter once, but now he has proven to have no arms.

one-armed inspection. No explanation was needed.

I don't know what kind of story McBurney had, but based on common sense, I judged that McBurney, who is a one-armed person, was a little easier.

And Henderson.

In short, it was the weakest.

The basis for the judgment came from a rumor.

"Henderson is coming out on behalf of Roman Dmitry? Maybe Henderson is that Lawrence's Henderson? Nonsense! As far as I know, Henderson is just an ordinary peasant who has never even seen a sword wield properly. I've heard rumors that he's training hard while following Roman Dmitry, but how does a peasant born peasant compete in a swordsmanship contest?

from commoners.

also farmers.

People's eyes turned to Henderson.

Even with great progress, he was a character who fell significantly behind the starting line.

Like Henderson, Kevin was not of great origin, but his impact was strong in the Battle of Daejeon, so no one doubted his ability.

Henderson was different from Kevin.

A lot of people I knew during my peasant days, and they all agreed that Henderson was nothing more than a coward.

on the first test.

Henderson almost peeed at the bow.

Since that time was the Henderson that people knew, people argued that Henderson was the weakest person.

Is that so?

on the day of the competition.

Those in Henderson's group clenched their fists.

"Yes!"

"This is it!"

"Heaven helps me!"

They were all sure.

Weakest Joe.

The winner here is you.

And that thought was no different with a knight assigned to Henderson's first round opponent.

* * *

"Group 5 first round match, ahead of Henderson and Taylor."

Henderson and Taylor.

People's attention was focused.

Just by looking at his appearance on stage, people were naturally convinced of Taylor's victory.

'Come from the beginning, you're a prosecutor.'

'It's over.'

'You can't beat Taylor as Henderson.'

Taylor.

He was a wandering prosecutor from Lawrence.

He, who once lived in Lawrence, recognized Henderson's face right away.

long time no see.

" Taylor?"

"The last time we met was during the busy farming season, and we were indebted to him for a while. At that time, you, who didn't even look at the sword at all, became a swordsman and appeared in front of me. Because you really don't know life. No matter how many times you wander around the world, human life always gives you a new shock."

Taylor laughed.

past relationship.

The relationship between the two wasn't bad.

Taylor knew Henderson was a good person, so he spoke in a low voice so that no one could hear him.

"Henderson. I'll give you a chance to give up on the competition, even considering the relationship with you. As you know, I achieved a special realization and reached the level of 2 stars. It means you're not at a level you can deal with. I intend to prove myself and gain fame through this competition. In order to do that, you have to show a definite impact in every game, and if you can stand up to face me, I can't stand it either. We're not even first-hand, we're spherical, so there's no reason for one side to bleed for nothing, right?"

It's not a hasty decision.

1 year ago and today.

There is a time limit.

No matter how fast he progressed, Taylor knew that Henderson would never reach his toes.

everyone in this place.

Everyone looked down on Henderson.

Henderson was the weakest in the world of savagery, and he wanted everyone to eat him and climb up.

"I know what you mean."

chuck.

picked up the sword

Henderson looked at Taylor with a nice smile.

"I know how you remember me. So please do your best. If you ever show me the slightest bit of mercy, I will seize the opportunity and bring you down."

sharp eyes.

It was different from before.

Taylor showed a surprised expression, and raised his sword as if he had no choice.

"I hope you will not regret it."

That moment.

flutter.

start!

The referee signaled the start of the match.

* * *

A confrontation between a commoner and a swordsman Aura.

There are pictures people imagined.

I thought that Prosecutor Aura would push through unilaterally, but what happened was completely different from what I expected.

sure.

tap.

The lord was Henderson.

Henderson slammed the ground quickly, attacking Taylor, who was still intent on exploring.

Kaang!

Kaka Kaka!

The sword and the sword collided.

Taylor showed a surprised expression at the power stronger than expected, and Henderson attempted a follow-up attack after the first attack.

Like cogs that mesh perfectly. Henderson's combo attack was so smooth.

No matter how the opponent blocked it, he immediately attacked the gritty area, and Taylor took a breath in the stormy attack.

'What?!'

It was unexpected.

Henderson's sword.

You have a perfect system.

Since I was from a peasant, I thought I would mimic it halfway, but there was no loophole in Henderson's linked attack.

'The me a year ago and the current me are different.'

Pass the enlistment exam.

Henderson had a hellish day every day.

There were many talented people who passed Roman's test, and from the start, they had enough skills to even compare with Henderson.

I was really surprised to see Kevin in particular.

Pure admiration came out when a boy with one head smaller than himself drove the opponent with overwhelming force.

behindhand.

I saw my own reality.

To solve everything with a simple will, Henderson was far behind the others.

'After talking to Chris-sama, I promised myself that I would somehow become a person befitting a master. Obviously, I'm not very gifted. Unlike other people who quickly develop an aura, it took a lot of trouble from feeling mana to manifesting it. A being who always follows others at the very end. That's me, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm making progress.'

Henderson was a turtle.

Slow but sure.

Slowly towards the right path.

Henderson built up his own efforts.

Taylor will remember himself from a year ago, but the blood and sweat of the past was melted in the swordsmanship he is displaying now.

tap.

Kaga River!

pushed hard

Sura swordsmanship.

In a swordsmanship with 108 swords that respond to every situation, Taylor couldn't get out of the predictable range.

At first, I felt embarrassed. As time went on, it became more and more disappointing.

To think that Henderson was simply continuing the momentum of the attack, I knew that the swordsmanship system was at a level that could not be ignored.

people watching from a distance.

They were also bewildered.

this was not

At the very least, Henderson had to show the level of what they considered complacent.

hook!

Taylor counterattacked.

Henderson didn't step back, as he expected the attack to flow sideways.

palak.

The wind blew.

If he had been hit by the attack, the injury would have been insignificant, but Henderson's gaze did not depart from Taylor.

'I'm not going to fall for this level.'

training in the past.

Opponents were Kevin, Chris, and even Roman Dmitry.

Dealing with monsters he'd never experienced before, Henderson's reaction speed was beyond the norm.

He does not deny the fact that among those who still follow Roman, he lacks talent.

However, he worked tirelessly and was proudly listed in the top 6 representatives of this tournament.

caught the loophole.

in an instant.

dug into space.

He spread the imaginary number and broke Taylor's posture, and attempted an attack from an angle that the opponent could not stop.

'finished.'

There was no way to stop it.

Taylor collapsed.

He clenched his teeth, stained with embarrassment.

"Damn it."

Kwareung.

Curly rumble.

Aura manifestation.

In a situation that could not be avoided by common sense, Taylor exerted power beyond common sense.

* * *

It was a momentary decision.

Taylor evaded the attack by exploding the mana of both legs, and her face flushed red with unbearable emotions.

'I didn't want to spend mana.'

The opponent is from commoners.

A being who had never felt mana.

I wanted to defeat Henderson with pure swordsmanship, but I realized that it was impossible to compete.

I couldn't help it.

You can't lose like this.

He escaped the crisis by the explosion of the aura, and he developed the aura through his sword and struck forward.

evil.

Curly rumble.

"I'm sorry, but I'll finish this!"

1 star aura.

The victory was divided.

Even if Henderson made a leap forward, there was no way to stop the aura.

By the way.

Curly rumble.

The same aura was manifested in Henderson's sword.

Its power was not great.

It was still at a weak level, but he, who was only a commoner, eventually reached the state of manifesting an aura.

This didn't make sense.

Just by looking at Taylor's wide-eyed reaction, it was clear how far beyond common sense Henderson's development was.

But the people gathered here did not know.

The fact that Henderson's development is not as fast as others.

Those who began to accept mana through the Sura mind method, starting with those with basic skills such as Volcan and Puki, succeeded in aura manifestation one by one.

yet.

Henderson's aura was weak.

Henderson was well aware of that fact, and deliberately deflected his opponent's aura and ditched the attack.

Park-

Both arms were thrown out.

Taylor is defenseless.

In a development not everyone expected, Henderson recalled what Chris had said the day before the competition.

"Henderson. When you came to me to give up everything, you were just a weak human. You were the kind of person who gave up without even trying properly, and if you had put everything down then, your life would not have changed. Not just as a prosecutor. No matter what trials you face, you will always be a loser. last month. You had a win rate equivalent to the top six. Unlike other overwhelming players, you struggled every time, but when others accepted defeat, you somehow dreamed of one more victory. This is the result."

laughed

Chris looked at Henderson with warm eyes.

"You are qualified to represent the lord. I do not guarantee that."

And now.

Henderson believed in himself.

He still doesn't think he's superior, but apart from that, he didn't doubt his victory.

Times of hard work.

What used to be a commoner has changed little by little.

People still remember him as a commoner, but Henderson experienced a world that others could not imagine.

Whether Taylor strikes back.

Taylor avoids it.

Or, block it with a sword.

Everything was in the experience.

Taylor raised his sword to block it, but Henderson slammed him into his body, breaking his opponent's stance.

And then.

chuck.

He held the sword to his neck.

Meaning that the match was over, Taylor admitted reality with a pale face.

" I lost."

Group 5, 1st round.

The result was different from everyone's expectations.

Henderson's victory.

People who watched with laughter and chatter were at a loss for words at the shocking result.
