It felt familiar.
As Kevin looked at him, Chris recalled a memory from the past..
“It was the same then as it is now. You always saw me as competition, unlike other people.”
Confrontation with Kevin.
It wasn't the first time.
Even when I pledged allegiance to Roman Dmitry in the beginning, I was very dissatisfied with the situation in which I was not receiving much instruction, contrary to my solemn decision..
So I asked in a questioning manner..
When asked what he could learn just by watching, Roman Dmitry absurdly suggested a fight with Kevin..
at that time.
Kevin was messed up..
Even though blood was dripping, I looked at Chris and said this.
“Let's do it till the end.”
I got cocky.
didn't know the topic.
Only later did I find out that Roman Dmitry had helped me with all the help, but I couldn't forget Kevin's gaze as if he really wanted to beat me..
In any case, the ranking was completely organized by what happened that day..
Kevin faithfully followed his orders, and not once did anything go wrong..
But sometimes, when I met those eyes looking at me, I felt the same way as before..
strong desire.
It was a complicated feeling..
Whether it’s jealousy, a sense of inferiority, or a desire to win,.
Whatever the reason, Kevin viewed Chris' existence as something he would one day have to overcome..
It was different from others.
Since Chris was in charge of training in Roman Dmitry's absence, most people thought that Chris was untouchable..
Kevin also received training..
Even though he swung his sword according to the commands Chris shouted, he showed a strong desire for Chris when his rank was highlighted..
Chris is.
I didn't know the truth.
I get it.
The way you look at yourself, your attitude, your tone of voice, etc..
Kevin showed his emotions openly, but Chris never once accepted them..
“I knew from the beginning what you thought of me. By the way, do you know why you didn't react? Because it was the same. Even if a child runs towards you with a blushing face, the adult is not aware of the child's presence and does not respond. It's a similar story. To me, the existence of Kevin is the prosecutor called Dmitri's demon. Just like when I first met him, he is just a child who is not the least bit threatening..”
Zech.
I picked up a sword.
In a situation where the first no-name was blatantly shown, Kevin's expression became distorted..
“Kevin. I have a long way to go. It means that my ambitions are not small enough to be overtaken by people like you..”
Hwaak-
An aura arose.
I meant it..
I wanted to prove my position to someone who surpassed my rank..
“So, do your best from now on. I will prove with my skills that there is no difference between then and now..”
widely.
Roman Dmitry takes a step back.
That was the signal.
As if there was no need for an answer.
crackling.
Crumbling rumbling.
Kevin quickly dug into the space..
* * *
It was fast.
Seeing Kevin rushing forward like a nimble animal, Chris stretched out his sword..
‘閃電).’
flash.
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I had no intention of doing it in moderation..
In an attack that momentarily penetrated space, it looked as if Kevin's face had been blown away..
however.
pot-
avoided.
As if he had expected it, Kevin let go of the attack by a narrow margin, exploding his aura and digging into his arms..
Just avoiding a flash fire was a great achievement..
When we first met, Kevin seemed unable to respond even though he knew the correct answer, but now Kevin has become stronger than he was then..
but.
Chris also improved..
Chris's sword bent strangely and bit into the back of Kevin's neck like a snake..
Suddenly.
Seomjeon and Jonathan's secret story.
It was a technique to change direction..
Just when you thought it worked this time, Kevin's eyes turned red and he suddenly turned around..
It was a shocking scene.
As I turned my body at the same speed as I was rushing, the sword that was biting my neck passed through the afterimage..
It didn't even touch me. It was truly a perfect dodge, and as soon as the back foot touched the ground, a huge explosion occurred..
Kwaang-
Crumbling rumbling.
Mana Surge.
It was a dash..
Kevin, who came right in front of us, attacked right away as if he wasn't going to give us a chance..
Kaang-
Kakakakakang!
A violent clash broke out.
When the attack aimed at the head was blocked, he dug to the side and attacked the side, and Chris quickly retrieved his sword and blocked the attack..
At the same time, he cut off Kevin's head..
Kevin let go of the attack by leaning back, then bounced his body like a spring and this time aimed at Chris's heart..
Kaang!
It was a one-step, one-step battle..
They pushed each other aggressively, as if they were going to bite the other..
hook.
Crumbling rumbling.
Chris's aura split the space..
Even though it was accompanied by an eerie sound that felt as if his body would be torn apart just by brushing against it, Kevin had no hesitation in jumping into the space filled with aura..
We bumped into each other again..
Since both use aura based on martial arts, Chris, who uses a stronger aura, had no choice but to have an advantage in terms of power..
but.
endured the pain.
Kevin smiled with blood on his face..
sudden-
My eyes flashed brightly..
This time, he dodged Chris' attack and sprayed an aura toward Chris' face..
Kaang.
As expected.
Chris' reaction was quick..
After blocking the attack, Kevin dug into the opponent's blind spot and successively attacked the opponent's gap..
I aimed for the head, then the lower body, then the lower body, then the back, then the back, then the solar plexus..
It digs into the opponent's surroundings like an animal, showing its sharp teeth to capture the moment when there is even the slightest gap..
It was fast and threatening..
Chris' counterattack targeted Kevin's life, but Kevin somehow knew how to react to Chris' attack..
It was then.
flash.
Crumbling rumbling.
another flash.
Kevin quickly took a step back..
This time, I wasn't confident that I could withstand Chris' attack right in front of me..
“I admit it. You are definitely different from before..”
Going through the aura.
Chris stepped forward..
He had a fierce face and seemed genuinely angry..
“But that's it.”
yet.
Chris didn't show his full potential.
* * *
My skin was stinging..
At this moment facing Chris, Kevin's instincts constantly warned him how dangerous an enemy he was..
however.
I couldn't back down.
For this day, Kevin worked relentlessly..
‘I know Chris better than Chris himself..’
Meantime.
I constantly observed to take down Chris..
We conducted a virtual sparring while learning about Chris's unique habits, including what type of sword he uses and whether he has any habits when using the sword..
Thanks to this, I was able to avoid the first attack..
Although it is an attack that is impossible to see and react to, I was able to twist my body by understanding the muscle movement and the unique posture of the fire fighter..
It was a narrow difference.
If I hadn't trained in advance, my head might have been blown off by the first attack..
It was a similar situation after that..
Based on the information obtained in advance, we pushed Chris hard..
Wow.
grabbed the sword.
I saw Chris walking..
In response to the still relaxed response, Kevin's red eyes gradually drove him into madness..
“Don't be cocky, you bastard..”
Taat.
Crumbling rumbling.
kicked the ground.
In an instant, he penetrated the space and cut off Chris' head..
Kaang-
attack blocked.
Chris immediately tried to counterattack, and his muscle movements clearly conveyed his intentions..
‘right arm.’
It was a shocking feeling..
Words are muscle movements, and by combining very subtle signals, Kevin was able to figure out what the opponent was trying to do..
In addition, the ghost demon's unique sensitive senses.
Kevin was about to try the next attack while letting go of his opponent's attack, but his eyes widened when he felt a burning pain in his right arm..
pot-
blood splattered.
Even though I clearly knew it, I only glanced at Chris's black right arm..
‘shoulder.’
This time it was my shoulder.
Chris raised his sword high and attempted a linked attack by swinging his sword down..
however.
It was the same this time too.
He clearly sensed the intention and reacted, but before he knew it, his expression distorted as the sword cut into his shoulder..
Suddenly.
I felt pain.
It was fast.
The reaction of not giving his all yet was not a bluff, and Chris showed such overwhelming speed that Kevin could not react..
I was thrilled. Dmitry's second-in-command.
Chris was someone who rose to that position through his skills, and he proved right before our eyes why he was called Dmitry's flash..
was strong.
so it was worth it.
Only by defeating Chris could he prove himself as the owner of First No-Name..
“Crumbling.”
My eyes turned red.
With a face shining with madness, he rushed at me like crazy..
Kaang!
Kakakakakakakang!
clashed violently.
Neither of them backed down an inch, and even though Chris counterattacked quickly, Kevin tenaciously rushed forward with movements that were beyond human limits..
The attack didn't hit at first..
Chris reacted first and let it go, but as time went by, it looked as if Kevin's attack would reach him..
sudden-
Crumbling rumbling.
It passed right in front of my eyes..
Kevin cornered Chris and turned his face to the side to let go of the incoming attack..
It was bold.
In a situation where he could have been punched in the face, Kevin chose to lunge forward rather than back down..
Dmitry's Demon.
It was a monster.
Eyes shining with madness finally drove the opponent into a corner..
‘The first half of Cheonma Swordsmanship, one second ceremony.’
Kwarung.
Crumbling rumbling.
exploded in power.
From now on it was real.
The moment he took a step forward, Chris' expression turned cold..
“It's over.”
Chris's Area.
entered the street.
Before Kevin's attack was even attempted properly..
the world flashed.
‘One island).’
pot.
Cry rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I didn't see it clearly.
Kevin's vision completely collapsed due to the hot pain in his chest that felt like it was on fire..
* * *
I looked down at Kevin..
We got the win we wanted, but Chris didn't look so good..
‘How could a boy from the slums become so strong?.’
The confrontation just now.
I was truly impressed..
Kevin anticipated his response and rushed forward without any time to catch his breath. If he were his old self, he would not have been able to guarantee victory..
So I couldn't laugh. Kevin and I have different starting points.
As an aura swordsman from the beginning, it was impossible for him to be overtaken by Kevin, who was just a boy from the slums..
I was annoyed.
The moment we first faced each other.
The being that was defeated unilaterally even with Roman Dmitri's help has grown to the point where it threatens him..
Actually, I wasn't unaware of Kevin's growth..
As people called Dmitri's demon, I noticed that Kevin was different from before as I watched him..
But I couldn't accept it.
He couldn't accept the fact that the gap between him and Kevin was narrowing, as if Kevin was showing an inferiority complex towards him..
chuck.
I aimed my sword.
The intention was to decide the winner..
however.
Kevin, who was bleeding from his chest, shed tears as the sword was pointed at his neck..
“……Ugh, ugh..”
I gritted my teeth.
Although he forced himself to cry, Kevin, whose eyes were filled with tears, showed foolish stubbornness that prevented him from accepting the outcome of the confrontation..
I thought I would win. No, she thought, she wanted to win..
but was defeated.
In the end, at the wall that could not be overcome, Dmitry's demon appeared like a child..
Then I realized.
Kevin is still young.
He swallowed his tears as if he didn't want to show his embarrassment, looked up at Chris, and said.
“……I lost.”
finished.
It was Chris' victory..
In a situation where he should clearly be happy, Chris felt devastated..
An attitude of not taking defeat for granted, even against oneself..
I knew it instinctively.
The moment you become complacent with reality, the day may come when you bow down to that pure desire..
no more.
Kevin didn't look like a boy from the ghetto..
