Chapter 258
The person with whom I will share the 258th swordsmanship story is.
After leaving Cheonmajeon, I headed to Bukcheon Sword House..
There is someone to talk about swordsmanship with, so why worry about it alone??
Yes, this is my way. If you don’t know, ask, then talk about something else until you realize it. If you don't know, just play around..
This time, I plan to make up for my neglect of Ilhwa Geomzon because I was busy with other Magons and various cases..
It's the return of a friend who left home..
In the meantime, just as there was a change for me, there was a change for Ilhwa Geomzon as well..
When I arrived at the Ilhwa Sword Zone Mo-ok of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family, I was surprised..
Her charm had changed. The small house that used to be has now been transformed into a large mansion..
The yard got bigger, and the flower garden she grew was also bigger..
The only thing that didn't change was Ilhwa Geomzon's beautiful appearance that still goes back to his age. She welcomed me warmly..
“Master So, welcome back..”
“How have you been??”
“It's always the same for me.”
“The house has changed.”
Ilhwa Geomzon followed me, looked around, and smiled calmly..
“I tried changing the mood.”
In the past, Mook was a house to show to others. I am a noble person who escapes worldly desires and walks only the path of nothingness..
And now she is shedding the pretense and showing her honest desires. Why did I change my mind??
“You must be busy these days. What's going on??”
“I came because I wanted to see Geomzon..”
“Welcome, come on in..”
I followed Ilhwa Geomzon into the house. The interior of the house was richly decorated..
“Can I take a look? These days, I'm also very interested in decorating my room..”
“Enjoy your time.”
I slowly looked around the room. The furniture and decorations were gorgeous and luxurious. There was no need to hide the money spent on decorating the interior..
“It's really cool.”
Then something caught my eye..
‘This is?’
What was on the table was a book. It was a collection of poetry and paintings that was on Hyeolcheon Doma’s bookshelf..
Of course, there may be the same book.
However, the reason why one book attracts so much attention is probably because it is about Doma and Geomzon..
“I need to put that cabinet in my room too. I like it so much.”
“I didn't know that Master Su had a hobby like this..”
I looked around the room and sat across from each other on the table..
It was a taste I knew from drinking tea. It was the tea I drank when I went to Hyeolcheon Doma’s house..
“It seems like the old man also drinks this tea..”
“Is that so??”
Ilhwa Geomzon did not miss the momentary shock. Books, cars, etc..
‘These people!’
I laughed inside. If the book and the car were not a coincidence, there must have been a change in their relationship..
“I wonder why they changed their house?”
“Did you have a change of heart??”
“I thought I wanted to live a little differently..”
I looked around again and said.
“To be honest, this room suits me better than before. gorgeous and beautiful.”
“Is that so??”
Ilhwa Geomzone laughed happily..
Although we are smiling and talking like this, she and I keep a certain distance. A sense of distance that is neither very close nor very far. It's definitely farther than one step. But it's not so far that it's inconvenient..
About five steps. In my opinion, this is the distance between Ilhwa Geomzone and me..
“I came to see you today as a friend of mine..”
I asked her for a job. Fortunately, she willingly accepted..
“It's good for me. But I don't know if working with me will help you..”
“I learn a lot just by watching my senior draw his sword. If I didn't think it would be helpful, I wouldn't have told you to have fun.?”
“Can't you just leave your mouth alone??”
“That's difficult because there are so many places that need my mouth..”
We went out to the training ground.
We stood facing each other from about ten steps away. Her prayer changed as if she had joked with each other before..
It wasn't just the house that changed. I felt that her prayers were different than before..
‘You've been concentrating on your training so far.!’
She was sharpened like a treasured sword. There was a time when the efforts of the Magons were compared to the feet of a swan, and the person who best suited that comparison was Geomzon Ilhwa..
Behind her graceful appearance like a swan, there was an invisible effort..
What made her change like this??
I also revealed my true prayer without hiding it. There was tension on Ilhwageomjon's face as she looked at me, and her eyes became cold..
Ilhwa Geomzon threw himself first..
Easy profit!
A flying sword. I can't see her. She completely hid herself behind the sword, and the sword and body became one..
The Ilhwa Sword and the Black Magic Sword collided in the air, creating sparks. Dozens of sword lines created by the two swords embroidered the air in an instant and then disappeared..
Even though he lost to me in the previous fight, Geomzon was still Geomzon. Moreover, her recently honed training shined, taking this dance to an even higher level..
With our swords flashing, we flew into the sky together. The demonic swords of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family stopped and watched the sword light shining in the air. The sword light shining in the sunlight was truly spectacular..
Chaaaang!
With a final, long clanging sound, we fell to the floor..
Even if you don't let the sword fly out of your hand or aim it at the opponent's neck. Geomzon would have known. that he was defeated.
“You are growing endlessly.”
She couldn't hide her bitter expression. Her training couldn't keep up with my growth..
I took care of her pride.
“It's thanks to my senior for making concessions. I've revealed my bottom line, but senior, don't you have the last move left??”
All of the Mazons are hiding the one move they will use in the end. The same goes for Ilhwageomzone..
“Suzy hopes that she will never have to write anything in her life..”
In other words, it meant that it was a trump card that one had to risk one's life for..
“Let's go in.”
After coming back inside, we quenched our thirst with cold tea and talked about swordsmanship..
We talked about the dance we performed today. I went one step further. I told Ilhwa Geomjon about what I felt after achieving the Twelve Great Masters of the Bicheon Sword Technique the other day..
Ilhwa Geomzon listened to me and asked if I had any questions..
If you have the skill level of a sword master, you will understand. How sincerely I am saying this. It is the essence of martial arts that you will never do for someone other than someone you care about..
Ilhwa Geomzon’s face became increasingly red..
When I finished speaking, she ran out into the gym..
“wait for a sec! Please wait a moment.”
She swung her sword alone in the middle of the training hall..
Then he suddenly stopped sharpening his sword and became lost in thought. He swung his sword again and stopped..
She had an epiphany. I found a way to overcome the wall that I could not overcome by practicing alone, through conversation with myself..
After becoming a mazon, he must have trained alone for a very long time. And he walked alone and met me at the end of the blocked road..
After swinging her sword in the training hall for a while, she came back feeling refreshed..
“Isn't the reason you came to see me because you wanted to gain insight into swordsmanship from me??”
“you're right. To be honest, my sword skills are at a standstill these days..”
“But why are you teaching me martial arts??”
I calmly said my prayers and spoke with dignity..
“Because you will be my Majon from now on..”
I spoke calmly to the woman who was staring at me silently..
“Besides that, there are two more reasons.”
“Two things?”
“First of all, it is because I believe that once Geomjon breaks through the limit, that enlightenment will come back to me. Aren't we friends??”
she asked, nodding.
“The second reason is?”
“Aren't you the only one among the Mazon who uses a sword? Geomjon is the only person I can talk about swordsmanship with. You probably know your father’s personality well. Who should I learn swordsmanship from? Who will I influence? I only have Geomzonnim..”
Of the three reasons, this seems to have touched her the most. A passion flashed through her..
“So, I had to visit you first and visit you most often.…….”
I spoke frankly..
“It seemed like Geomzon would always remain the same. It's a selfish and bad feeling. We need to take care of good people first..”
Then Ilhwa Geomzon spoke in a somewhat self-deprecating voice..
“I'm not that good of a person. Maybe it was taken care of in the right order.…….”
A hint of remorse flashed in her eyes..
We didn't say anything for a moment, each lost in our thoughts..
Not necessarily in this situation, Geomzon is a good person. I didn't offer this kind of obvious consolation..
This is what I needed right now.
“Can I come again tomorrow??”
Ilhwa Geomzon nodded with an expression that said he could come not tomorrow but for the rest of his life..
* * *
“Since when did you say you liked flowers??”
Despite what Hyeolcheondoma said, I kept looking at the flower pot on the window sill..
“It looks like an odd flower..”
On the way back to my residence, I stopped by Hyeolcheon Doma, and there was something I had never seen before, placed by the window. It was a flower pot with flowers planted in it. If I had come here first, I would have thought that Hyeolcheon Doma was just a living flower..
“What on earth is going on in the head of someone who looks at flowers and says they are ugly??”
“Where did the flower come from??”
“someone gave it to me.”
When I gave Ilhwa Geomzon a book and tea as a gift, it was clear that Ilhwa Geomzon gave me a flower pot as a gift. Or vice versa.
‘Hobby type, great!’
It seems that Chwima's efforts to reconcile the two have finally paid off..
“Who is it??”
“Someone I know gave it to me.”
“So who??”
“It's noisy to read a book.”
Until the end, Hyeolcheondoma did not say that Ilhwa Geomzon had given it to him. I didn't ask further. I tried hard to endure the jokes..
How good would it be now? It's not anyone else, it's Ilhwa Geomjon. Resolving past misunderstandings and conflicts, exchanging gifts.
Let's be patient, we'll make fun of it later.
“Don't keep looking! If you release it incorrectly, the flower will die..”
If you do that, you might kill me..
Daeryong, the flower pots here are more important than the flower pots in the office. If you fail while training, you will have to undergo hell training for at least a year..
“I'm going.”
“Why are you leaving already??”
“These days, I am training in hell. I'm probably the hardest worker in the school.?”
“He even became the head of a small church. Why are you working so hard to enjoy more wealth and fame??”
Since the relationship has completely changed from before the return, if I die, all the Mazons will also die. Will Hyeolcheon Doma just watch while I'm dying??
That's why. To save everyone.
‘I'm doing this so I can jump into hell too..’
Let our seniors enjoy that wealth and fame. In his later years, he happily traveled with Geomjon and Oh Sun-do-sun and Jungwon..

The next day, I had another meeting with Ilhwa Geomzon..
Her eyes were a little bloodshot, as if she hadn't slept all night..
“I had a hard time sleeping yesterday because of training..”
It looks like he worked all night long to turn yesterday's enlightenment into a skill..
I had a chat with her again. Since we knew each other's moves, we began to use more and more powerful moves, and towards the end, moves were made that were almost reminiscent of actual battles..
After finishing the team dance, we talked about what we fought today. Because the aspects of the fight were similar, most of the story overlapped with yesterday, but it was shared as if it were the first time..
As we talked, it sometimes spread into new stories. It's a story about training in swordsmanship as a child, and even learning how to grow flowers..
I went the next day, and the day after that. I went with the mindset that this time I would see everything I hadn't seen before. I was bored so I went with the intention of going until I was told to stop coming..
The aspect of the dance was similar, but we were feeling the change..
Even though it was the same herbivorous diet, the speed was different and the force involved was different. Some days were fast and some days were slow. The opportunity to test one's swordsmanship to one's heart's content did not come easily..
and this morning.
I used the Guhwamagong Jeilchosik destruction method..
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
the sound was different.
Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!
I was shocked and ran to see that the wooden doll had been broken into exactly four pieces..
“Done!”
Finally, he succeeded in making sword energy fly from four directions at the same time..
It seems that the meeting and conversation with Geomzon helped in some way..
From that day on, I devoted myself even more to my training..
I had a desire. I want to see the appearance of a small demon at the destruction ceremony. That desire led me to extreme efforts..
I made sure to stop by Geomzon once a day to dance and talk about martial arts..
If someone was watching us, they would think we were doing the same thing over and over again, but it wasn't the same..
We grew in the power of repetition.
As Geomzone grew, I also grew. Geomzon grew under my influence, and I received back the influence of Geomzon that grew. We were burning with the heat unique to those who use swords..
And our relationship changed too..
“The reason I changed my house was because of Senior Doma..”
She revealed her honest feelings.
“These days, I'm trying to get along with senior Doma and forget about the past resentment. During that process, I thought a lot about the past. At that time, I liked flashy and pretty things. That was me. While I was thinking about that, I suddenly changed it spontaneously. It's a shame, but I didn't put a lot of thought into changing it..”
It must have been a longing for the past when I was young. Those are the times I really want to go back to..
“Well done! If I miss the pill later, I'll change it again..”
“Then wouldn't it seem like a very no-nonsense person??”
“I seem to be a person with a free spirit.?”
Yes, now is not the age to worry about what others think, said Ilhwa Geomjon with a cheerful smile. It was the moment when I realized that the distance between us had changed from five steps to three steps..
Meanwhile, my training continued..
I trained day and night. One day when destruction was repeated countless times.
Wow!
The sound of the destruction ceremony has changed again..
at that very moment!
I saw. A black being cutting off the head of a wooden doll.
‘at las!’
One of the four demons has appeared.
