30 – Dalian (3)

‘Master.’

‘Why are you calling?’

Luna remembered her mentor who taught her swordsmanship. The master who always wore a mask in the form of a smile.

Her voice and body shape were halfway, so I didn’t know her gender, and I didn’t know her name, age, hometown, etc. Little did she know.

So she just called her Master. She didn’t even say anything about her master.

‘Why did Master teach me swordsmanship?’

‘Because you have talent. Don’t they have those mysterious eyes?’

‘Is that so? I’m not sure.’

She didn’t live in the city, but Luna, who lived in her countryside, reacted calmly when she heard that.

I don’t know if there was a target for comparison, but since there wasn’t even that, it didn’t touch her heart.

Her hometown where she lived was where she focused on farming. She is also amazed that her master has come this far.

At least she knew about ‘snow’ from a long time ago. She just didn’t care because she had the ability from birth.

‘So keep working hard. If it’s you, I’m sure you’ll be the light that will light up the world.’

‘I don’t know what you mean.’

‘Have you ever read a fairy tale in which a hero defeats a demon?’

Luna nodded her head. The fairy tale is famous, but it is so famous that there is no one who does not know it.

Besides, it’s not just a fairy tale, it’s a story based on a true story. One of the proof is the United Academy.

The reputation of the United Academy has spread all over the world and has become the dream of many. Luna is one of them.

In such a situation, the teacher in front of me came and taught me martial arts, so it was like I was one step closer to my dream.

‘You can be the main character of the story.’

‘Me?’

‘Of course.’

She replied as the master was sure. She seemed to be smiling even behind the smiling mask.

‘There will be hardships in the middle, but with your perseverance, you will be able to overcome them.’

Luna believed her words and honed her swordsmanship. She was admitted to the United Academy even though she was actually talented.

That’s also for the chief. Even Marlboro, her professor at the time, couldn’t help but admire it.

She

She, of course, apart from admiration, as soon as she put her mind to rest, she was beaten and passed out.

She was able to realize that she still had a long way to go.

“Whoa…”

Luna crinkled her face at the pang she felt in her stomach as she slowly stood up.

She barely stood up using her sword as a staff, and her smiley face on Kara came into her field of vision.

‘I can’t do close combat.’

She just woke up after being hit by a blow. She must not come close to Kara.

As Kara emphasized before, fighting is only useful in close quarters.

In other words, it must mean that there is no place for martial arts to be used unless it is close combat.

‘This is why I have to learn fighting.’

There was little reason why Luna didn’t learn her fighting skills from Kara. Because her pride was hurt.

I don’t know if there’s a big age difference, but she and Kara are only a year or two older.

She’d rather hone her swordsmanship than learn from her peers. What mattered most was time.

She refused because it was unknown whether she would learn the whole thing within that time, which was less than a week away.

‘Have you learned everything about Sivar?’

Suddenly, I remembered Sivar, who was learning how to fight from Kara.

I know that every time I practiced boxing, not fighting, all of my punching bags were broken.

The sandbag must have been filled with sand, but I burst it with my bare hands and without a single wound.

She grew up in the wild, so her physical abilities must be ridiculously strong. She had only been able to stop it before, with three professors sticking to it.

‘Anyway, let’s use my strengths.’

Luna squeezed her grip with both of her hands. The reason she was able to enter as a senior was not just her swordsmanship.

Have you realized that fighting is utilized in close quarters? Then you have to induce them not to engage in close combat.

If that’s the case, the other side will also realize that and rush in somehow. You just have to be careful with this.

“You look like you’re thinking a lot, right?”

Perhaps he read Luna’s expression, Kara said with a grin. It’s a provocation no matter who sees it.

But Luna didn’t get caught up in the provocation and took her stance. Even if she only exchanged conversations, she would be at a loss.

Sug-

‘Comes.’

At that moment, Kara’s feet came off the ground. Luna narrowed her eyes as she watched.

Eventually, as expected, Kara rushed in, closing her distance in an instant.

At the same time, she struck the curved sword from top to bottom, just like she had just done.

Boom!

Luna didn’t block the attack and backed her up, so she lightly dodged it.

And without delay, she counterattacked. A cut from the bottom up.

Awesome!

The noise of strong clashing of iron against iron resounded.

It was a quick counterattack, but Kara defended it with her sword in that short time.

At least there was no room for Kara to squeeze in because she skillfully used her distance.

Chaeeng! Visor! Chaekang!

A continuous battle between straight swords and curved swords. When one person’s attack ends, the other person’s attack follows.

Even when Luna had her right to attack, she didn’t rush into it. She knew that if she did, her kick would come flying.

It was to the point that whenever Kara tried to compete in strength, she would instead step back.

I don’t know the art of fighting, so I’m at a disadvantage in close combat. So let’s not even approach it.

Since fighting while measuring the distance like this, I had no choice but to move my legs busily.

“Isn’t it too obvious? It seems that he suddenly came to his senses after being hit by one kick.”

Kara laughed at Luna’s strategy, which made her intentions so obvious. But Luna didn’t answer.

As I said earlier, if you get caught up in it, you will lose yourself. Now is the time to focus on the fight.

When Karado Luna didn’t answer, he shrugged her shoulders and said it didn’t matter.

“Well. That’s what you are. The footwork is a bit annoying, but…”

Kara looked at Luna’s legs in her direction. I don’t know anything else, but that one footwork is great.

Footwork or footwork is the foundation of all martial arts. There was a reason she entered as a senior.

“Try to deal with this once.”

Once again Kara closes her distance. She is much faster than before.

Luna was not at all taken aback and guessed her next move. At least she knew that she was hiding her skills.

Seeing!

Kokdo’s unique sharp cut continues. An attack that strikes diagonally from above.

I can’t stop that, so I lightly avoided it by stepping back.

Originally, he would immediately launch a counterattack, but Kara’s attack didn’t end there.

‘How long are you going to do it?’

Kara swung her elongated sword non-stop. The sound of the wind cutting is excellent.

She couldn’t help but focus on her dodge as Luna, and looked behind her in the middle just in case.

This is to prepare for the possibility of being driven to the wall. Fortunately, there was still a fairly long distance to the wall.

Kaang!

At the time I was wondering what the hell the intention was and why I was only firing a double attack, an attack came that I had to block.

Kara caught Luna’s footwork and moved her body little by little.

If this is the case, she will eventually have to go back to fighting. If her movements were read, she can’t help it.

“What do you want to do now?”

“··· ···”

You really talk a lot. Luna narrowed her brows at her collar, which constantly fluttered in her mouth.

If you read the movement, you have no choice but to go straight ahead. It’s an obvious answer.

Wheeik!

Luna strikes her sword diagonally from above. At this rate, Kara will also be able to easily defend herself.

However, Kara far exceeded her Luna’s expectations.

Took-

She let go of her curved sword, which she had been holding on to. She did, so she threw away her weapon herself.

Seeing this, Luna opened her eyes wide in surprise. But her sword was already going down.

Hooung!

The sword cuts through empty space. Because she cut with her oblique line, Kara dug into her gap.

Breaking through a gap means that you are in a close-range situation. She is in a situation where Luna should not come.

Luna hurriedly tried to pull her back, but Kara acted one step faster.

Tup!

“Ouch!”

Kara grabbed her Luna’s slender neck.

I was so surprised at the part that she threw away her weapon, so the response was very slightly delayed.

Thump!

Kara didn’t stop there and threw it straight to the ground. The combination of a hard floor and gravity creates great power.

Luna’s eyes widened as she faced the power of her. Her mouth is open, but she can’t breathe.

But apart from her breathlessness, her eyes were still on Kara.

She made sure she was holding her one-handed ax in her hand, not knowing when she drew it.

“First of all, the arms!”

Kara smiled sweetly and struck her axe down. It’s an eerie word, unlike her smile on her face.

Of course, it must be a joke, but it felt like it was sincere since Kara was from there.

Boom!

Luna narrowly dodged her ax by rolling her body. Then it happened in a hurry.

Breathing is rough, but it’s not impossible. Much better than before.

She went further and circulated the magical power within her body, so her pain was instantly forgotten.

“The real bastard is the bastard bastard. Is it because your body is so delicate?”

Kara rated her Luna’s agility with her one-handed ax in her hand.

She made it impossible to avoid it, but she managed to avoid it. As for the distance measurement, the foundation was solid.

Her skill and practical skills are lacking, and her improvisation is slow. This will gradually be supplemented with experience.

“Huh!”

Luna accelerated her magical energy and ran towards Kara.

It’s a short one-handed ax, not a curved sword with a long reach. The opportunity is only now.

Then her sword struck down diagonally, and Kara moved behind her, returning her to inaction.

But the attack didn’t end there. Luna responded with an uplift to prevent Kara from approaching.

Kaang!

Once again a loud crashing sound was heard in all directions.

Originally, no one should be harmed, but this time it’s different.

Kara responded by slamming her one-handed ax into her sword instead of dodging her.

“Ugh!”

Luna screamed in pain. Her hands tingle like they’re numb.

But the sword did not let go. It is one of the teachings of the teacher and one of the things that my older sister emphasized.

Kara also looked surprised as if this was unexpected. Of course, that doesn’t mean the attack is over.

f*ck!

Kara’s left fist was firmly inserted into Luna’s face. It was a proper hit like the first kick.

Luna straightened her mind and moved her sword. So that she could not even approach at all, she was cut horizontally.

Shhh!

As if it had worked, Kara backed away slightly behind her. After that, there was a brief lull.

“You said you wouldn’t let go of your sword?”

Kara grinned. Luna’s will to not let go of her sword seems to have come to her liking.

Then she will have to break that will. She thought so and moved her feet.

Luna also brought her to her senses as Kara approached. I could feel the fishy smell of blood in her mouth.

Wheeik!

She waved her sword as if telling her not to come, and even Kara stopped approaching.

With her one-handed axe in hand, the initiative rests with Luna. Luna thought so too.

“Old!”

Kang!

Kara suddenly backed away from her and threw the ax at her.

“Let’s start over!”

Until I took the curved sword from the floor and made all strategies pointless.

As if he were enjoying the battle itself, he used weapons and skills in the right place.

There was a difference not only in the movement of the basic skills among the basic skills, but also in the technology and utilization.

But Luna did not give up until the end. Her unforgiving tenacity was what got her.

f*ck!

“Ugh!”

Nevertheless, the limits were clear. What Luna can do is limited, whereas Kara is overflowing.

When it came to close combat, her fists and kicks came flying, and when she opened the distance, she rushed in and forced it open.

Aww!

Kara let go of her curved sword again and grabbed Luna’s wrist tightly. It is her hand holding her sword.

Luna tried her best to get it off somehow, but she wouldn’t budge.

If she had learned martial arts, she would have used her fists. It was useless for her to regret it now.

“At times like this, I’ll have to move the sword with her left hand. She’s really stubborn about useless parts.”

“Shut up······ Please······!”

It’s actually at the level of kidding. Still, Luna did not let go of her sword.

I want to put in an effective hit somehow. You’ll get hit a few times, but it doesn’t matter.

f*ck!

“······What did you do?”

Luna kicked Kara’s shin, intending to shake her balance.

However, it is as hard as stepping on steel. Thanks to her, only Luna’s feet hurt.

“In times like this, I should do this.”

Wow!

On the other hand, Kara was neat.

It was not that I was hitting her legs, but that I was completely off balance with her Luna.

During that split second, the sword slipped from Luna’s grasp. Her attention was distracted by other things.

Kara took her sword away from Luna and took a few steps behind her. Her victory was soon decided.

“Heo-eok············”

Luna didn’t respond when her sword fell from her hand. Her stamina is almost gone.

She originally consumes a lot of stamina if she circulates her mana. How much more did she get hit by a few effective hits?

Her mouth smells of fishy blood and her hands are tingling. The area where she was kicked is also very painful.

“What do you want to do now? I don’t have a sword. I don’t have stamina. She doesn’t have confidence in anything.”

“······No.”

At Kara’s provocation, Luna barely stood up on her knees.

Then he clumsily raised his fist and looked straight at Kara.

Even though his stamina was obviously exhausted, his eyes were full of fighting spirit. Are those the eyes of a person who is on the defensive?

From noble mtl dot com

“I will do it to the end.”

By the time Kara was admiring those eyes inwardly, she said as Luna declared.

“So…”

The words that came out of her mouth then.

“Come on, savage.”

“··· ···”

Even momentarily, it was enough to erase Kara’s smile.

Of course.

“······Are you sure you have the personality to earn a beating?”

It was all to no avail.

Kara also knew that Luna’s remark was not true, so she kept smiling.

At least unlike the others, Luna isn’t rude. She’s just a provocation that’s usual in a fight.

If she is sincere, she intends to beat her to change her mind.

“Are you going to apologize later?”

“······Yes. I’m not serious.”

“Yes. Then…”

Kara threw her sword roughly on her floor and slowly approached her Luna.

“I’ll teach you how to fight.”

After those words, Luna’s vision was filled with Kara’s fist. Luna watched that fist until the end.

Wow!

It wasn’t long before her vision went completely dark. It’s a bonus that her body soars.

“Ah…”

Luna had a thought right before her own body hit the ground.

‘I want to go home.’
