Chapter 178
##178fury. I lost
Everyone who was watching the sparring clearly heard what Wei Zichian said..
At first, no one understood what the boy said..
“What did you just say??”
“Take away the star?”
“Suddenly I heard something... … wait for a sec. Are you talking about that nickname??!”
“What is it? let me know too!”
A stir spread among the audience who belatedly understood Wi Ji-cheon's words..
It wasn't really a secret that Geomhwa Yu-ran was aiming for Dok Go-jun's nickname, 'Sword Dragon'..
However, Wi Ji-cheon announced during the sparring that he would participate in stealing the star name..
That means…….
someone excited shouted.
“It's a declaration of war against the sword dragon Dok Go-jun.!”
“!!”
No matter how good his skills were, Wi Ji-cheon was only a first grader..
A first-year student is the best reviewer at Blue Dragon Academy and declares war against the student council president..
And that too in an official setting with so many people watching..
Murmur.
“Wi Ji-cheon, that guy. I thought you were timid…….”
“Look at the kids I hang out with. Just a timid guy walking around with them.?”
“but…….”
“If you get to know him, he might be the craziest kid..”
There were over a hundred students watching this sparring..
Wi Ji-cheon's declaration of war would have reached Dok Go-jun's ears before today was over..
While the audience was noisy, applause suddenly broke out among the audience..
Clap clap clap!
“As expected, my junior!”
It was Heonwon River..
Heonwon-gang, who immediately caught everyone's attention, spoke while revealing his pure white teeth..
“everyone! How long will you allow the student council to monopolize the title of Sword Dragon! I will bring the name of the Sword Dragon to Dongyeon! Please give your valuable vote to Heon Won-gang.!”
“?”
“??”
Everyone looked bewildered at the endless niche promotional strategy..
“What on earth does the Dongyeon election have to do with Geomryong? Do you think that if you just put words together, everything will work out? This is why ignorant guys…….”
Seonwoojin clicked his tongue and shook his head..
Heonwongang snorted at him..
“what. The bastard who used to say that Paeng Sa-hyeok would be picked at Sangdo-yeon.”
“……This kid is really.”
Grumble.
Seonwoojin, who was in tears, pulled out his sword halfway and glared at Heonwongang..
Heonwon-gang also did not avoid his gaze and grinned..
“Pick it? think well.”
“Heonwon River. Looks like you know you can do anything?”
The martial arts uniforms of the two people who had increased their strength began to flutter..
an imminent situation.
However, the conflict between the two stopped due to Namgung-soo's restraint..
“Still sparring. To show minimal courtesy to the two people on the off stage..”
“……yes.”
“sorry.”
Both of them fell silent due to Namgungsu’s stern reprimand..
The chaotic atmosphere was quickly cleared up..
Namgungsu gave a glance to Yuran and Wijicheon on the off-stage, as if telling them to start again..
Yu-ran, who took the gun in gratitude, turned his head to Wei Ji-cheon again..
“The person who said he would take away the sword dragon... … Apart from me, you are the first..”
“Well, am I being too cocky??”
Wi Ji-cheon finally noticed his surroundings and asked with a timid expression..
Earlier, I was so focused on Yuran that I forgot that many people were watching..
Wi Ji-cheon said with a tearful look on his face..
“It's not like a declaration of war... … . What should I do if senior Dok Go-jun gets angry??”
Yuiran burst into laughter at the sight of the boy becoming timid again..
“no. I'd rather like that guy..”
“Really?”
“huh. And I like you more and more.”
Many male students who had feelings for Yuran flinched at words that could have been misunderstood to mean something else..
But everyone shrugged their shoulders at the cold voice that followed..
“But Geomryong has no intention of yielding to anyone..”
Yu-ran's eyes shined intensely as he pointed his sword at Wei Ji-cheon again..
“That's the same for me too.”
Wi Ji-cheon also took his stance again. As the martial arts sword was struck, the inner energy began to circulate vigorously within the body..
In fact, Wi Ji-cheon thought about it for a while..
‘I didn't want to use the martial arts sword for a while... … I can't avoid it forever.’
The senses of the whole body become sharper, and the noisy surroundings suddenly become quiet..
Tsutsutsutsu…….
Tsutsutsutsu…….
Suddenly, sword energy formed on the swords of the two people. On the off-stage, the two swords shined more vividly..
“Until black!”
“Above, wouldn’t it be dangerous??”
“I think I need to stop you…….”
Everyone's eyes were on Namgoongsu..
“…….”
Namgungsu thought for a moment and then nodded. It meant that the use of swords was permitted..
“Please refrain from killing each other. Everyone, take a step back..”
Namgoongsu made the students gathered around the off-stage step back and even erased his presence..
It was a consideration so that Wi Ji-cheon and Yu-ran could fully focus on each other..
But that consideration was meaningless..
“…….”
“…….”
Because the two of them could no longer hear any sounds around them..
They were completely focused on each other..
From breathing to head and toe movements.
I felt everything about the other person, down to the slightest tremors of invisible muscles..
This time, it was Wi Ji-cheon who moved first..
Tadat!
Yuiran's Biryu sword technique was to achieve victory by striking first and to attack the opponent without stopping until he was defeated..
So Wi Ji-cheon chose to attack first..
‘If I drag it out for too long, I’m at a disadvantage..’
Wi Ji-cheon honestly admitted.
Strength, stamina, and skills.
Compared to Yuran, I was still not good enough..
So what's better??
‘kill it!’
A voice I haven't heard in a while.
From the moment he started using the martial arts sword, the flesh sword began to tempt the boy..
‘Kill it. I'll lend you my strength.’
I was confident that I could beat Yuran if I handed myself over to the flesh sword..
No, I was confident that I would kill him for sure..
Where to cut to make it painful, how to bully the other person to push them into a corner..
Because my body remembers.
Chaeng!
Wi Ji-cheon's first attack was blocked. Immediately a sharp counterattack came. The sword energy narrowly grazed my thighs. It stings. Wei Ji-cheon's expression slightly distorted..
‘kill it!’
The temptation in my head became stronger. The suppressed life flows out of the body. Yuran's expression seemed to harden slightly..
‘Kill it! Cut off that woman's throat and drink her blood.!’
Salgeom scolded in his head. My head was pounding. Meanwhile, Yuran went on the offensive..
Chaechaechaechaeng!
The sword strikes continued without stopping. Every single one of them is scary. It is impossible to block everything. I blocked the vital area and avoided what I could..
I just gave away what I could give away..
P it!
Blood splattered in the air. The uniform was soaked in blood. Anyone can see that Wi Ji-cheon is in a precarious position..
“That guy. Why are you so reckless?…….”
“Still, it was pretty good for a first grader..”
Heon Won-gang's expression hardened, and a bitter smile appeared on Seon Woo-jin's lips. Namgungsu, who was quietly watching, uncrossed his arms and took a step forward..
‘Kill it! Kill it! It means to kill.!’
The flesh sword screamed loudly in Wi Ji-cheon’s head. I was almost having a seizure..
While Wi Ji-cheon was frantically blocking and dodging the enemy's sword, he even had to listen to the voice of the sword of death..
The world turned red little by little.
The moment when the heart rushes in again,
- Cheonah. As your level increases, the temptation to kill will become stronger. Especially if you use the Martial Sword, he will whisper nonstop..
Wi Ji-cheon recalled the conversation he had with Baek Su-ryong on the way back from Akingok..
-It will take a few more years to fully overcome it..
-How many years… … . So then, should I not use the martial arts sword until then??
Wi Ji-cheon asked Baek Su-ryong with a half-resigned expression..
No matter how good the sword was, I didn't want to use it if it put people around me in danger..
-By the way. Sword of flesh is not necessarily a bad thing.
-yes?
Baek Soo-ryong placed his hand on Wi Ji-cheon's drooping shoulder and laughed..
-Think about it. There are many people in the world who deserve to die. In that case, wouldn't a flesh sword be quite useful??
-but… … What if I surrender myself to the sword of flesh and lose myself??
-I'm not saying leave it to me. It means you take control.
Baek Soo-ryong’s expression was extremely serious. He looked straight into the confused boy's eyes and said.
- The sword of flesh is also a sword that you eventually realized. Don't deny it, just admit it, you are the owner of the killing sword. Then hold on tight and swing. With your own hands.
-ah…….
Wi Ji-cheon, realizing that he had been deceiving himself all this time, lowered his head..
The boy was afraid that he would kill someone again against his will..
He turned away from the sword of flesh, hated it, and strongly denied it as his..
I didn't even know that the more I did that, the stronger the voice of the sword in my head became..
-teacher. I am…….
Baek Soo-ryong messed up Wi Ji-cheon’s hair..
-Don't make a hasty decision. Don't rush, you can try it slowly. you can do it.
-……yes.
And with a wink, he pointed to the sword spirit hanging on Wi Ji-cheon's waist..
-Cheonah. I hope you become a warrior who will not be ashamed of the person who passed the sword on to you..
P it!
Wi Ji-cheon came out of his brief thoughts. Yuran's sword grazed his earlobe..
‘Kill it! Kill it! It means to kill.!’
Wi Ji-cheon spoke to the murder sword that was screaming in his head..
‘be quiet.’
Following Baek Soo-ryong's advice, Wi Ji-cheon decided to no longer deny or ignore the existence of the Sword of Death..
It's a sword I learned myself..
It is a sword that he realized by killing the warriors who came to kill him while he was addicted to coinage, and engraving that feeling into his body..
‘Because I will no longer pretend not to know. You listen to me too. okay?’
The flesh sword fell silent for the first time. Wi Ji-cheon laughed. And I gave strength to the hand holding the sword..
‘From now on, don't tell anyone to kill you..’
‘…….’
‘If I have to kill someone, it's up to me.’
‘…….’
‘I won't answer?’
The flesh sword did not answer until the end..
But Wijicheon could feel it..
That guy is reluctantly nodding his head.
‘lend me your strength I won't kill you. But I really want to win.’
‘……win.’
At that moment, the sword spirit cried for a long time..
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
The clear sword name made my mind clear. The presence of the flesh sword dwelled in the soul of the sword..
‘thank you.’
Wi Ji-cheon found the only way out amidst the barrage of Yu-ran's swords..
Wow!
Yuiran’s sword flew out. It was a blow so powerful that her sword energy dissipated in an instant..
Yuiran, who was pushed backwards, opened her eyes wide..
“you…….”
Yuran immediately recognized that Wijicheon's prayer had changed..
‘He said he gained enlightenment during sparring.?’
I was shocked. I wasn't even angry because it was ridiculous..
I just laughed out loud.
But why does it feel strangely good?.
Yu-ran smiled empty-handed and spoke to Wi Ji-cheon..
“congratulations. What a monster..”
“……It's thanks to you, senior..”
Wi Ji-cheon spoke with sincerity..
The feeling of not wanting to lose to her led me to take out the martial arts sword and became the driving force to control the flesh sword..
Here, Baek Soo-ryong's teachings led the boy to the right path, and the sword spirit was by his side..
Yuran looked at the boy enviously and shook his head violently..
“But I don't plan on losing.”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Yuiran's sword, filled with energy, rang out..
Wei Ji-man did not gain anything during the sparring..
Although it wasn't something grand enough to be called an epiphany, Yuiran also gained inspiration for the direction his sword should take..
“This is the last time.”
“……yes.”
Yuiran gathered all his remaining strength and performed his best swordsmanship..
In an instant, the tip of her sword shook and a fierce wave appeared before her eyes. It was a change that had never happened before..
‘it's okay!’
At this moment, her Biryu sword technique definitely leaped to a level higher than before..
“Haaap!”
The joy of a warrior who had leapt to a new level burst out in a short burst of energy..
Wi Ji-cheon watched the strong torrent until the end..
There was admiration in the boy's eyes..
“It's a cool sword..”
The sword spirit cried lowly. It was a happy cry.
Wi Ji-cheon was courteous to his opponent and rewarded him with his best sword..
The two people's new faces intersected in the middle of the off-stage..
“…….”
“…….”
A few strands of Wi Ji-cheon’s hair were blowing in the wind. Shallow wounds were left on the cheek and forehead..
The boy slowly turned around and looked at the other person. Yuiran also turned around at the same time..
dump.
Yuran knelt down. I didn't even have the strength to stand because I poured out every last drop..
But until the end, I didn't let go of the sword in my hand..
“I lost.”
Geomhwa admitted defeat with a pale face..
But his expression looked very relieved.
