History of the Greatest Territory Design - Episode 11
11fury. A motherfucker with grit (2)
‘I'm tired. I'm sleepy.’
Javiel, lying in the armchair, frowned and turned over..
It was annoying.
It was obvious.
During the day, I escorted the idiot master..
I suffered from insomnia every day at night..
In the meantime, I didn't miss sword training from time to time, so it's natural to be tired..
No, it's almost like karma..
‘But will I sleep a little more today?.’
For some reason, I felt like I had my eyes closed a little longer than usual..
A smile full of satisfaction bloomed at that thought..
But Javiel's smile didn't last long..
“……Jen, wake up?”
A grumbling voice was heard..
A voice that is sly but with a hint of laughter.
‘Is it a dream?.’
No, it's not a dream.
'Cause I haven't had a dream in years.
Maybe the hallucinations came from lack of sleep..
Javiel, on the other hand, tossed and turned..
But even that gesture couldn't stop the urging that came again..
“It's late. It's time to wake up, you sleepyhead.”
……what?
It's not a hallucination.
It was definitely a voice coming from right next to me..
‘Am I sleeping? what is that?’
I came to my senses in a daze..
I have suffered from insomnia for several years..
At least I wasn't the type of person to listen to other people talk about sleeping..
Moreover, his senses could be said to be keener than anyone else's..
But before you know it, someone comes up to you and starts talking to you.?
Javiel widened his eyes..
I quickly turned my head.
And before I knew it, my whole body became rigid..
“Did you wake up? If you hadn't woken me up, I would have slept until the sun was up on the top of my head..”
“…….”
Young man with dark hair standing next to a relaxing armchair.
I guess I'm in my mid 20s now..
That face was full of laughter.
It looked evil, like the smile of a bad boy who found a cool toy..
“Lloyd… … sir?”
Javiel muttered without realizing it..
Obvious.
The person you serve as an escort.
You idiot, the troublemaker of this territory..
Recently, I was a person who began to go on eccentric adventures due to some wind blowing..
Even the way he makes a joke like that with just one side of his mouth looks like a hateful thing..
“You finally understand this body. What should I do because this is so sad?.”
“…….”
Just looking at his face, he doesn't seem to be sad at all..
“But why is Master Lloyd here?…….”
Are you waking me up??
I trailed off without realizing it..
I was confused.
This situation was unfamiliar.
‘Why is that person waking me up??’
It had never happened before.
It seemed like something completely impossible..
It was Lloyd who always overslept..
Waking that person up every morning was his first routine of the day..
But why is this person’s hatred toward this side becoming more intense?.
“Why? Because you fell asleep here.”
“I am? here?‘
“uh.”
“Why??”
“Don't you remember? what happened last night?”
“Last night, I…….”
“I really fainted. Did you sleep really well? I snore, and later I even grind my teeth. I really just want stereoscopic sound and Dolby Orchestra sound..”
“…….”
“okay. I understand. The reinforced concrete lecture is a bit like that. I thought I was going crazy while listening to it too. I was sleepy even when I memorized it last night..”
……i don't know anything.
I don't even remember.
I'm serious.
Because I was just sitting in this chair..
But I felt like my head was clearer..
Did I really get a good night’s sleep?.
It was a little unfamiliar and interesting.
“Tsk. You still seem dazed. Drink this and come to your senses.”
“…….”
The idiot master held out his glass..
Clear cold water glistening in a glass.
I drank it all at once and checked my body condition..
clenched my fist.
I felt vitality like never before..
A feeling of refreshment runs through the veins in my tightly clenched fists..
It was a completely different level of vividness than when I was always suffering from lack of sleep..
‘This is amazing.’
Could it be that he really had a good night’s sleep?.
Overcoming that hellish insomnia?
Javiel accepted this reality in his own way..
the body doesn't lie.
As an excellent prosecutor, he decided to fully trust the truth that his senses told him..
But suddenly something caught my eye..
“But what is that??”
Javiel's gaze turned to Lloyd..
Specifically, I paid attention to Lloyd's waist..
Lloyd's waist in front of him.
There was a wooden practice sword hanging there..
That wasn't all.
Lloyd's clothes were also different from usual..
Light and strong leather armor was worn over everyday clothes..
Leather protectors were also worn on the elbows and knees..
He even wrapped a towel around his neck to wipe off the sweat..
It somehow looked very authentic(?).
‘This can't be right.’
Javiel took a deep breath without realizing it..
It felt like something was slowly dawning on me..
The answer came back to Lloyd..
“Have you already forgotten? I was supposed to teach you swordsmanship. If this body solves your insomnia.”
“…….”
an obvious answer.
Thanks to you, it suddenly came to mind.
Last night he accepted Lloyd's offer..
it was some kind of bet.
If Lloyd succeeds in solving his insomnia,?
So when you fall asleep soundly?
Did you promise to teach swordsmanship to that idiot?.
That was Lloyd's offer, which he accepted last night..
‘So, now I have to teach that idiot how to swordsmanship? I?’
Insomnia that had plagued me for a long time.
The joy of overcoming it and achieving a good night's sleep quickly cooled down..
I think this is a big problem..
♣
“Then let's start with running..”
This is a training ground bathed in sunlight.
Javiel said from one side.
“Please stand this way..”
“…….”
“great. From now on, Lloyd will be running along the edge of the gym. Do you have any questions??”
“No, I don't have any.”
“…….”
“If you run, you just run, right?.”
“…….”
“I'm sure you weren't preparing to launch a full-on speech.?”
“What do you mean by a general speech?.”
“To act like a fool. Why, there is such a thing. With this stern and serious expression on his face, he said, ‘Running is the foundation of all training. Both powerful swordsmanship and fancy techniques must be supported by strong basic physical strength, blah blah blah... … ' This is how you set the mood and open your mouth..”
“…….”
Javiel, annoyed, kept his mouth shut..
Lloyd shrugged..
“Then I said, 'I don't like that, teach me powerful swordsmanship!' Did you imagine on your own that you would rebel like this and then chicly say to me, ‘It was Lloyd who asked me to teach you swordsmanship’ and then make me run or something like that??”
“…….”
“That's right, that's right.”
“…….”
“Ugh. Not a child. Tsk. Then let's go.”
Bruises, bruises, bruises.
Lloyd took off..
Javiel, who remained at the starting line, frowned without realizing it..
‘I thought you were going to whine about not being able to run or anything..’
Lloyd's reaction was very different from what he expected..
It was much more calm than I thought..
‘But if you keep running, your true nature will come out..’
Javiel thought so.
Everyone is like that.
Before starting something, exhale when you feel comfortable..
Appears confident as if he will easily achieve any goal.
But when difficult moments come,?
When you face the limits of your body and mind?
The enthusiasm and bravado that appeared at first disappear like a lie..
Trying to come to terms with the inner self that screams in agony..
Like people who started a diet and went on a diet for about three days..
Or, like those who quit smoking a day later..
It reveals one's weak nature..
‘Lloyd Frontera. I bet you are the same too.’
That idiot he knew was especially that kind of person..
He was a person who had never experienced this type of situation in his life where he was forced to run..
So, if you run a few laps around the gym like this and find yourself out of breath,?
‘You will regret the bravado you showed now. Maybe he'll shout that he'll give up on sword training..’
Honestly, I hoped so..
I didn't want to teach that idiot how to use a sword..
I had no faith in that person..
He was a person who was addicted to alcohol every day..
Every time that happened, he was a guy who did all kinds of mischief..
But teaching a person like that swordsmanship?.
It was dizzying just thinking about what kind of accident would happen with the swordsmanship he taught..
‘I can't tolerate that..’
Of course, that bitch has been showing a bit of a change recently..
But human nature does not change easily.
That idiot will be like that too..
Who knows, starting today, your old bad habits may rear their head..
‘So I will treat you as harshly as possible. Until you fall out on your own. Or until you overcome it and prove yourself worthy..’
Javiel had a bitter heart.
He stared at Lloyd with cold eyes..
I waited for the moment when the motherfucker would shout out giving up..
But things didn't go as he expected.
“Wow, wow! omg!”
tuck, tuck, tuck!
Lloyd kept running..
I just kept running silently..
Ten laps, twenty laps, thirty laps, and so on..
I passed by Haviel dozens of times while walking around the training ground..
Meanwhile, not a single word was uttered..
Even though my breath is pouring out,
Even if sweat drenches my whole body.
Even if my tired legs shake.
I just ran without stopping, silently, and at a constant speed..
‘how?’
little by little at first.
Later on, openly.
Javiel's eyes wavered..
It was a mentality I couldn’t understand..
It was a spirit that was difficult to guess the source of..
Of course, the secret to Lloyd's tenacity was simple..
‘Something harder than running like this, I've experienced it countless times.!’
it actually did.
In the military, I had to endure marching, guerrilla warfare, and other hardships as difficult as this..
It was even worse when I lost my parents and was working part-time jobs..
‘Have you ever spent an entire day carrying bricks up and down the top of a four-story villa? Or, I tried loading and unloading packages all night until morning.?’
Only those who have experienced it know how difficult it is..
Feeling like your body is being forced to become a mechanical part.
Feeling like your muscles will break down after endless wear and tear.
‘Even as I feel out of breath, I look at the clock with some hope. I guess it's about time it's over. Just a little more and you will be able to rest. But what about reality? Not at all. It's a real gutter. Not even half the time has passed yet! Compared to the misery of being forced to keep moving in order to make money despite the feeling of despair, running like this is truly just heaven.!’
Such things were common in Korea..
I had to live in such despair every day..
A sense of despair and despair that makes me wonder how long I will have to live like this..
Even in that situation, I had to not give up to make a living..
Let's make a few bucks.
Let's eat and live.
Always had to push your limits.
No, I had to move without a soul like a zombie in a state where I was overcome by my limitations..
That way I wouldn't starve.
Whereas now?
‘All you have to do is run.’
I wasn't forced to move like a slave..
He ran to learn swordsmanship because he wanted to..
Of course, it was hard on my body..
Still, it was fun.
happy.
Even if I'm out of breath.
Even if my whole body is soaked with sweat.
Even if my legs are loose and limp.
Even if sometimes my eyes turn yellow.
‘Still good.’
Lloyd kept running..
And as he passed in front of Javiel long after his fiftieth turn, he even smiled..
“Huh, huh, huh! I'm the one running, Heo Eok, why do you look like you chewed shit??”
“…….”
“Whoa, whoa, did you really not expect this situation??”
“…….”
“Then keep doing that, ugh, stay dumb.?”
“…….”
After that, Lloyd continued to run..
It was like that until Javiel, who was no better, stopped running..
“Lloyd, stop running..”
“Wow, wow, why??”
“You're already sobbing..”
“I know that too, huuuuuuuuuuuuuu?”
“So, take a break for a moment..”
“Phew, yes. I get it.”
Lloyd's running stopped for the first time..
“Are you embarrassed??”
“no.”
“Nope. That's right. I was embarrassed.”
“…….”
“Whoa. okay. You probably didn't expect this situation. It's just 'I'm disappointed in Lloyd's poor willpower' or 'You must keep running until I tell you to stop.' I guess they prepared a lot of lines like that. yes?”
“…….”
“I said it before, but wow, you secretly treat people with prejudice.?”
“What do you mean by that?.”
“You felt like I was joking when I asked you to teach me swordsmanship.?”
“…….”
Javiel lost his answer..
Lloyd looks into my eyes with a face that has suddenly lost all smiles..
When I met those eyes, I unconsciously became desperate for an answer..
Or, I felt like my inner thoughts were revealed..
“Is swordsmanship a joke? That's it?”
“Of course not.”
“But why did you not take my request to teach you swordsmanship seriously?.”
“that…….”
“How can you teach swordsmanship to others with such a complacent spirit??”
“…….”
I have nothing to say.
For the first time, I wanted to find a mouse hole..
The advice of the master, whom I thought was a fool, kept coming back to me..
“Looking at it, I think I was considering whether I was qualified to learn swordsmanship, but I am now at a point where I need to check whether you are qualified to teach swordsmanship. i was wrong?”
“…….”
“So let's do it right. While I was worrying about qualifications and all, I also did some research on how to teach better. okay?”
“……All right.”
Javiel unconsciously bit his lower lip..
I never thought the day would come when I would be pointed out by that real idiot..
I felt like I was hit in the back of the head with a blunt object..
I wanted to refute it somehow.
But I couldn't..
‘Because they are all correct.’
Javiel accepted it obediently..
It was exactly as Lloyd pointed out..
He was only considering the other person's qualifications..
I did not think of teaching others better swordsmanship..
Without properly preparing myself, I only tried to test the other person's mental strength..
I was embarrassed to look back..
That moment.
Ding dong.
