The Thousand-Slayer Swordsman Association-Episode 91
〈 91Tue 〉 Dozen bets, competition (6）
* * *
It's miserable.
Everyone who looked at Gyeondong from their seats had that thought in mind..
If you think about it, it's just a waste.
Even though there was an elixir at stake, it wasn't a game that had to be fought with tears and snot..
Nevertheless, the sight of Gyeondong constantly getting back up as if he had to win this match was a form that left no impression other than 'horrible'..
“Wow…!”
Gyeondong rushed at me once again..
Mok Riwon swung his sword sharply and defeated Gyeon Dong..
And I faced Byeok Woo-rim..
It was a sword that seemed to chase away flies..
Of course, Mok Ri-won did not swing it with that intention, but it was a move that appeared that way to those who saw it..
This was a result of an overwhelming difference in skill..
Gyeondong lay on the floor panting while glaring at Mokriwon and Byeokwoorim..
And then I stumbled and touched the ground to stand up again..
Now, Mokriwon is starting to pay attention to Gyeondong thanks to his tenacity..
‘How can they do something like that?.’
Mok Riwon did not know Gyeon Dong..
Other than the fact that he is Jinwondanju, what kind of personality he is, what kind of person he is, and what kind of heart he came into this match with..
…No, I didn't even know why this meeting took place..
That's why Mok Riwon was able to see the human being called Gyeon Dong..
Gyeon-dong, as seen by Mok Ri-won without any preconceptions,.
‘soldier.’
He was a great warrior..
A smile appeared on Mo Riwon’s lips..
‘The will to not give in is important.’
It was one of the teacher's teachings.
No matter how powerful you are, no matter how unrivaled your martial arts skills are, if you do not have the will, you are an empty shell..
The example of a warrior comes from a strong will..
‘As expected, sobriety is different.!’
It was a misunderstanding.
Gyeon Dong was a coward and not sincere about winning..
The reason he stood up was simply because he was angry and struggling..
Of course, it didn't matter now..
Chaeng!
Mokriwon liked Gyeondong..
I liked the will to stand up without giving up..
It didn't matter that he was a first-class martial artist or that his understanding of martial arts was something even a second-rate scholar could barely reach..
Mokriwon wanted to compete with Gyeondong..
“…I think I can stop with you..”
At those words, Byeok Woo-rim’s eyes widened as if torn..
This is because it did not require much effort to understand the meaning..
To that extent, Mokriwon's eyes were only focused on Gyeondong..
this was an insult.
It was a clear insult for a warrior of the same class to show interest in Ha-su and to disparage his value by saying 'not like you'..
Byeok Woo-rim charged at Mok Ri-won, holding his sword so strongly that it made a loud noise..
“dare!”
For a moment, Mok Riwon’s eyes sank..
“It is not appropriate to force allies who have already exhausted their strength in order to win..”
With those words, Mo Liwon swung his sword..
There was no herbivory either..
The sword stretched out slowly and wrapped around Byeok Woo-rim's sword, and then 'Bang!' It made a sound and broke in two..
and.
Wow!
Mokriwon’s foot stuck in Byeokwoorim’s solar plexus..
“Ouch…!”
It was a powerful kick..
Injuries that require treatment.
Mo Liwon has already absorbed all of Byeok Woorim's swords..
“then….”
After checking the fallen Byeokwoorim, Mokriwon looked back to Gyeondong..
He was panting and holding his sword with bloodshot eyes..
The tip of the sword trembled..
“Only Danju remains..”
Mokriwon’s grinning smile was refreshing..
Also, there was not a single sign of injury on the body..
It contrasted in every way with the mess of Gyeon-dong..
Mokriwon asked.
“Why does it keep happening to Danju??”
“Huh….”
“You have shown enough will. She showed her courage by not backing down from the competition. But why are you standing up again??”
“ugh….”
Gyeondong managed to raise his shaky body and listened to Mok Riwon’s words..
one didn't work out.
This is because my ears rang and the sound spread..
All Gyeondong heard was the question ‘Why?’.
‘why….’
ask why.
And Gyeondong didn't think long..
“Ha, herbal medicine….”
“hmm?”
“One shot… Hmm… I'm just doing it to give you one shot.….”
widely!
Gyeondong took a step forward..
“No, then… Because it was unfair…!”
Mok Riwon’s eyes widened slightly..
Then it folded nicely.
“exactly?”
Mok Ri-won’s complexion was very cheerful..
“Then try it.”
Mo Liwon put his left arm behind his waist..
The feet were planted straight on the ground, and the body was stretched out in a straight line..
“I won't move from here. I won't even use footwork. I won't even shake my body.”
The tip of the sword was pointed exactly at Gyeondong..
“Now, all you have to do is come to Danju..”
At first glance, it could be seen as a mockery..
If Mok Ri-won's voice as he said this had not been filled with respect, if only his smile had been a little distorted..
Surely this would have been ridiculed.
To put it on the other hand, even though he was saying and doing these things, he was showing Gyeondong a level of respect that was clearly felt..
Puzzle
Gyeondong gritted his teeth..
And then I took another step.
about 15 steps.
Because I was thrown quite far before, I had a long distance to run..
In other words, there was enough distance to make an approach..
Gyeondong squeezed all the strength he had from breastfeeding and added strength to his walking..
A limping step becomes a straight step.
It turns into jumping again.
It was ugly.
And it was also miserable.
“Wow!”
widely!
Gyeondong jumped up..
Gyeondong, who had been hovering without even taking a proper stance, glared at Mok Riwon and began slashing his sword..
As he said, the sword filled with resentment, resentment, and anger was fired..
bounced off.
“That was a great move..”
Chaeng!
The sword that had slipped from his hand floated in the air, and Mok Ri-won followed suit and struck Gyeon Dong's left waist with the blade..
puck!
Gyeondong’s eyes rolled back with a dull noise..
I was fainting.
“Mukryong! win!”
*
Wow!
A shout that threatens to leave an unarmed person.
It was a sound that brought up Gyeondong's consciousness, which had momentarily fallen into unconsciousness..
Gyeondong suddenly opened his eyes..
Then I saw referee Ki Tae-woon raising his hand towards Yongbongdan and Mok Ri-won approaching me..
My head was a little clearer..
Only then did Gyeondong sigh..
‘You lost….’
It's all over now.
In the end, I couldn't give a single punch to that damn guy's talent..
Like a third-rate warband, I raised my voice without knowing how high it was, and ended up digging my own grave and falling to the ground..
Gyeondong looked blankly at the sky..
Ironically, the sky is blue without a single cloud..
‘In the end, Gyeon Dong was so devastated that he thought, ‘Even the sky is celebrating the victory of the ink dragon, not my defeat!’.
It was at that moment that Mok Ri-won opened his mouth..
“It was a good dance. I guess I got my lesson.”
Gyeondong lay down and looked at Mokriwon..
There was a faint smile on my lips..
Gyeon-dong said, “I wonder if they are making fun of me, because I hate the fact that they say things like ‘good fight’ after beating me so hard.”.
“What is a good fight? It was broken so miserably.”
there is nothing left anymore.
My grandfather, who was my only blood relative, will kick me out, so now I'm left to live on the street..
No one would remember.
No, will his name come up at least once, as if to reminisce and say, ‘There was a guy like that back then?’.
As Gyeondong laughed out of frustration, Mokriwon tilted his head and said,.
“It wasn't terrible..”
“What is it??”
“It was great.”
Gyeondong’s face frowned strangely..
Mok Ri-won smiled at that face and answered..
“You didn't give up until the end..”
Mo Ri-won stretched out his hand and raised Gyeon-dong’s upper body..
“I was just ahead in martial arts. I lost the will. To that extent, Danju has set an excellent example..”
Gyeondong was dumbfounded..
Mok Ri-won's words were too sudden to be understood right away..
While I was about to ask another question, applause started coming from all over the place..
There was no cheering..
Just a clap clap sound.
And there were smiles that seemed very satisfied..
It was only after Ki Tae-woon's words approached that Gyeon-dong understood their reaction..
“I hope you have grit..”
Ki Tae-woon, who said that, tapped Gyeon-dong on the shoulder and left his seat..
When Gyeondong turned his gaze, he saw Baekgeom Daeju Kwon Pyo-wol and Jeokwoon Daeju Kang Chan..
Kang Chan shouted..
“Improve your skills! It's still sweet, but I guess I'll have to give it a try next time.!”
Laughter erupted from everywhere at the words he said with a chuckle..
Kang Chan was later taken away by Kwon Pyo-wol and disappeared from the spot..
Gyeondong was still dazed until the day before yesterday..
The words ‘next time’ kept ringing in his mind..
‘next….’
Will there be a next time?.
If my grandfather throws me away, that will be the end..
Gyeondong, who was thinking that, was shocked..
‘…If my grandfather kicks me out, is it all over??’
My grandfather Gyeonggwol is a cabinet leader..
If you go out of his way, your position in the league will be diminished..
However, if you think about it, that was all that happened..
In the end, it is the master who appoints people to the positions of lord and lord..
Resigning someone who is already there is also a curse..
‘…There is a following.’
Only then did Gyeondong realize.
‘I was only hoping for my grandfather's approval.….’
I ran with only that in mind until it got this ugly..
I ran thinking that if it wasn't for that, there would be nothing else..
This is truly foolish and narrow-minded..
Gyeondong raised his head and looked around..
There were still dancers looking at them and smiling, and there were also members clapping..
And there was Mokriwon in front of me..
“Sobriety?”
At Mok Ri-won’s question, Gyeon Dong felt tears welling up in his eyes..
‘If that wasn't the end.’
If the world didn't collapse because I wasn't recognized by my grandfather, why did I focus so much on it?.
Why was that all I saw?.
‘no.’
In fact, he could have survived even without his grandfather's approval..
knew.
I was just ignoring it.
I was just afraid of standing alone.
As tears flowed from Gyeondong's eyes, Mokriwon was shocked and panicked..
The warriors who remained in their seats were looking at them with expressions like ‘Why is that person acting like that?’.
Gyeondong cried and cried..
‘nothing is over.’
The world doesn't end just because you're out of sight of your grandfather..
No, there was a wider world that could only be seen if one stepped out of the shadow of one's grandfather..
There were many people who did not judge me based on my birth or martial arts skills, but only looked at the will of that moment..
“Sober drinking…!”
“no, no.”
Gyeondong’s goatee was trembling and he wiped away his tears and snot..
The smile that appeared on his face after all the crying was refreshing..
So much so that I think it resembles the sky without a single cloud..
“Mukryong Daehyup.”
“Ugh, um?”
“Next time, next time, can you dance with me again??”
Mokriwon tilted his head at those words, then nodded as if it was no big deal..
“However much. If you wish,.”
“Thank you.”
While we were talking, Danghwaseo came up on the non-stage..
The broken arm was in a splint..
Gyeondong felt guilty about that..
If you think about it, even that injury was caused by a mercenary brought in from the cabinet..
If you go back even further than that, this dance itself happened as a cubic crystal..
“…Yongbong Danju.”
Danghwaseo looked down at Gyeondong’s words and was taken aback..
The sight of Gyeondong standing up from the start to the end was different from what I had seen before..
‘It was enough to raise the evaluation from 'He only lived with his mouth' to 'He has a certain level of grit'..
‘but.’
That's that and this is this.
Danghwaseo smiled and said to Gyeondong..
“Please send the elixir by today..”
Startle.
Gyeondong’s body shook..
Danghwaseo left him behind and spoke to Mokriwon..
“Neck Sohyeop, let’s go..”
“Ah, I understand! Please be careful when you drink alcohol.!”
Gyeondong looked blankly at the man and woman leaving..
Then I heard sounds around me coming to my ears..
“Hmm, but it still sucks. Jinwon Danju is truly helpless.….”
“Still, it's not nice to see him working so hard. It's so helpless... but.”
“Please speak calmly. Armed force is so unsightly.”
Gyeondong laughed helplessly..
‘It did.’
These are the people who evaluate themselves based on what they see..
These are people who look at me without prejudice due to their birth..
‘And I showed my ugly side to those people..’
I had to reflect.
Also, I had to work hard..
Gyeondong got up from his seat..
Rumbling.
Tears flowed from his eyes..
‘Let's live hard even now.’
The reason for the tears was nothing special.
‘…Still, can’t one person be worried? I was hurt so badly.’
No one cares about me being such a mess.
That was the sad reason.
Yes.
He looked cool, but Gyeondong was Gyeondong..
In the Murim Alliance, the term Dungeom Gyeon-dong meant a person who only talks loudly..
