Chapter 109
It was because of the appearance of Seoyoon, who was not seen at Dream Academy.
I did not know the details of the situation because the last preface only briefly informed me.
However, Seoyoon was carrying out the trials given by the Sword Master.
I knew at least that if I couldn\'t pass it, I wouldn\'t be able to be with Seo-joon anymore.
And the deadline suggested by the swordsman is until the end of the Pro Hunter exam.
However, the Pro Hunter exam had just ended.
Nevertheless, the fact that Seoyoon did not come to the academy means that the ordeal has not yet been completed.
In addition, the meaning that Seoyoon couldn\'t finish the ordeal...
“......”
Seojun hurriedly hurried his steps.
Sega of Sword Saints arrived like that.
Seo-jun immediately knocked on the door of Sega, and soon an employee greeted Seo-jun.
“what...? you are?”
And the sudden appearance of Seojun surprised Sega\'s employees.
However, that expression did not seem to recognize Seo-jun\'s face.
In fact, it was strange to not recognize the face.
In the first place, it was because Seo-jun was also a student at Seo-yoon\'s academy, and
had visited him once when he fought the swordsman last time.
Leaving aside everything else, there is almost no one in Korea who doesn\'t know Seojun\'s face.
In any case, even though the employee seemed surprised, he did not find it strange that Seo-joon had come.
but.
“What should I do with this... Today, Lord Moon told me not to let anyone in.”
Seo-joon couldn\'t go inside the family.
It seems that Geomseong gave a word in advance, knowing that Seo Jun would come.
However, Seo-joon had no intention of stepping down like this.
Because I knew that if I left like this, that would be the end.
But you can\'t just rudely push through.
And just then.
“Let them in.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from inside the house.
It was none other than Seo Mun-cheol\'s voice.
“Elder Seo.”
“It’s okay, let me in.”
Seo Mun-cheol allowed Seo-joon to join Sega.
“But Lord Moon told me not to let them in…”
“I will take responsibility. So let them in.”
At the firm words of Seo Mun-cheol, the employee did not know what to do.
However, it wasn\'t long before the employee moved out of the way.
Seomuncheol is one of the most trusted aides of Swordsman.
No matter how strict the swordsman was, if Seomuncheol said that, he couldn\'t be ignored either.
“Come in.”
In the end, Seo-joon was able to come inside Sega.
Seo Moon-cheol looked at Seo-jun, who had entered the family, without saying a word.
Then he indifferently turned his back.
“......Follow me.”
Seo Mun-cheol silently moved on without any further explanation.
Seo-joon followed Moon-chul Seo and walked.
Is it because they know each other\'s circumstances?
In the process, no words were exchanged between the two.
The place where Seo Mun-cheol guided Seo-joon was none other than the large gymnasium prepared by Sega.
This is the space where Seo-jun used to dance with the swordsman in the past, and the space used by the swordsman when he usually trains.
And this time, Seoyoon was sitting in the center of the gymnasium.
Seo Mun-cheol stopped walking and looked at Seo-joon without a word.
Seojun walked forward receiving Seomuncheol\'s gaze.
“Sir Seojun?”
Then Seo-yoon, who discovered Seo-joon, lifted her head in surprise.
Looking at Seoyoon\'s face, she was quite haggard.
Cold sweat drenched the whole body.
He could fully guess what Seoyoon had been up to.
And the results were also known without being told.
Seo-joon took a turbulent step.
And the place where those steps were headed was not Seoyoon.
Another presence in the gymnasium.
“I should have told you not to take it in…”
It was none other than the sword star.
“Did you just ignore my words?”
Along with the cold voice of the Sword Master, fierce momentum burst out.
The will to kill becomes a substance, and the will dwells in it.
That creepy murderous intent presses on Seo-jun and Seo Moon-cheol.
The energy that no existing S-class hunter could handle exploded.
Even Seo Mun-cheol, who was standing next to him, was trembling because he couldn\'t catch the energy.
but.
Seo-joon moved on casually.
“I’m sorry, Swordsman. But I had something I had to tell you, so I risked my disrespect to come here.”
Then he slightly bowed his head and apologized for the rudeness.
Seeing that calm appearance, the Sword Saint opened his eyes inwardly.
‘This bastard...\'
Of course, he could have been pretending to be calm.
However, even that ‘pretend\' was something that could not be done carelessly.
Because even Seo Moon-cheol, who was standing next to him right now, couldn\'t pretend to do that.
In the meantime, it has grown again.
The momentum itself is different from the last time I saw it.
And the stupid bastard I saw at first is no longer here.
Now, there are only guys that I have to deal with with all my heart.
That\'s why the swordsman was able to gain more confidence.
“Nothing to hear. go back The deadline has already passed.”
Seoyoon could not stand by Seojun\'s side and overcome the storms and hardships.
What the swordsman suggested to Seoyoon was the minimum qualification.
The minimum qualification not to be swept away by the storm and hardship.
Even if you can\'t overcome it together, at least the minimum qualifications that won\'t hold your ankle.
But in the end, Seoyoon couldn\'t do it.
It just gets swept away again.
just grab your ankles
In that situation, Seoyoon would blame herself and suffer.
It\'s worse than not going together.
The relationship between the two ends here.
Each other\'s way, talent, destiny.
It was just different.
“Go back. What has been done cannot be undone.”
The swordsman coldly turned his back.
And at the words of the swordsman, Seoyoon silently bowed her head.
Because Seoyoon... had the same idea.
Couldn\'t. I wanted to go with you, but it was the limit.
That said, I don\'t want to hold on to Seo-jun\'s ankles because of my own greed.
what can\'t It won\'t work.
Seoyoon lowered her head.
however.
“It is not over yet.”
Seo Jun-man seemed to think otherwise.
The swordsman slowly turned around.
Seoyoon slowly raised her head.
In those gazes, Seojun says.
“Wasn\'t the deadline that Sword Saint-nim suggested to Seoyoon was until the Pro Hunter exam was over?”
The swordsman said nothing.
Seojun speaks again.
“The Pro Hunter exam is not over yet.”
“What nonsense is that?”
The swordsman unknowingly spat out the words.
The pro hunter test is over.
The fact that Seo-joon is here now is proof of that.
The professional hunter test is over and Seo-joon has been confirmed as an A-class hunter.
That\'s why Seoyoon\'s deadline also ended.
But now that means...
“I haven\'t finalized my score yet.”
“...!”
“...!”
Geomseong as well as Seo Moon-chul were surprised by Seo-joon\'s words.
Officially, the end of the pro hunter test meant that all test scores of test takers were announced.
However, Seo-joon\'s last subject combat ability (interpersonal) score has not yet been announced.
Due to the boiling public opinion, Lee Tae-beom was being blinded, so the treatment was delayed.
The perfect score was almost confirmed, but it was literally ‘as it was supposed to be\'.
It is not confirmed.
That\'s why the pro hunter test itself wasn\'t over yet.
The pro hunter test is not over.
That\'s why Seoyoon\'s fight was also.
“It is not over yet.”
The gaze of the swordsman turned to Seo-joon.
And Seo-joon did not avoid that gaze.
Two eyes meeting.
“......good night.”
The swordsman nodded slowly.
It was only then that Seojun turned his back.
Then, he approached Seoyoon, who was sitting on the floor in the center of the gymnasium.
Seoyoon only stared blankly at Seojun, who was slowly approaching.
Seo-jun silently raised Seo-yoon to her feet.
Then he picked up the sword that fell on the floor and put it in Seoyoon\'s hand.
“let\'s go together.”
At the same time, Seojun\'s voice is heard.
It was... impossible.
So Seoyoon thought everything was over.
He did not cross his limits and thus reached the end.
But now.
“That is nothing. Look at me.”
Seo-joon overturned the impossible situation.
so now. The impossible situation turned upside down once again.
Another chance arose.
Kwap!
Seoyoon grabbed the sword and grabbed it.
Then he trudged and stood in front of the Sword Saint.
The swordsman faced Seoyoon and slowly drew out the blue dragon sword.
two people colliding.
That moment.
Wedge! Wedge liquid!
Seoyoon\'s sword swung at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.
He was wielding a sword that was clearly visible, but the trace of the sword was not visible.
Ka-ang! Kang!
Of course, it couldn\'t reach the Sword Saint.
However, that did not mean that the power of the sword was inferior.
A sword that pursues extreme speed, the Quick Sword.
Kang!
Afterwards, Seoyoon\'s momentum changed completely.
At the same time, Sabak Seoyoon stepped down.
moment again
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
I wanted to burst out of fierce momentum, but before I knew it, Seoyoon\'s sword shot out like an arrow.
Its terrifying speed is only known by the sound of a gong piercing the air that something has passed there.
A sharp sword with a one-sided attack.
Ka—Ah!
The sword, which still could not reach the swordsman, ricocheted out and broke Seoyoon\'s posture.
However, Seoyoon concentrated on biting her teeth.
Wedge!
The trajectory of the sword he wielded dropped and began to bend in a strange direction.
As if breaking the law.
It bends and bends as if a sword is alive and moving.
Even though I was watching it with my own eyes, I couldn\'t predict the flow at all.
An ever-changing swordsmanship that rapidly changes the point of focus.
Kang! Ka-ang!
The ever-changing Seoyoon\'s sword began to slow down.
At some point, it was swinging so slowly that it was clearly visible.
However, from the perspective of facing it, it felt like a heavy weight was slowly strangling my neck.
A blunt sword that encroaches on the opponent\'s territory and imprisons them.
Kagagakak!
However, the swordsman lightly blocked Seo-yoon\'s sword, and Seo-yoon continued to swing the sword regardless.
The air descends on the sword as it slams down.
Quaang: Air scatters from the swinging sword.
A strong sword that puts weight on a single blow.
Whoops!
Seoyoon\'s footsteps pressed heavily on the floor.
Seoyoon\'s sword that embroidered the air spread out with a momentum that seemed to cut through anything in the world.
Seoyoon\'s mind was dizzy at the momentum.
The invisible sword of Seoyoon.
It cut through the air slowly but quickly.
A heavy sword that maximizes destructive power by adding weight to weight.
Aaaaaaaang!
Explosive binge.
Seoyoon\'s sword continued.
one step two steps.
Seoyoon\'s footsteps continued as if they were going to be cut off.
A new type of Seoyoon that gets entangled in a mess.
however.
thud!
Suddenly, Seoyoon\'s new model was twisted, and his momentum went down.
The flow is cut off and the sword tricks that have been connected scatter and disappear.
Kaga River! Cagan!
Seo-yoon\'s sword was pouring down like a shower, but
I couldn\'t find the trick of the illusion sword anywhere.
That\'s why the swordsman could feel it.
‘It\'s over.\'
That\'s it.
This was Seoyoon\'s limit.
And more than anyone else, Seoyoon felt it keenly.
‘no...!\'
Seoyoon desperately swung her sword.
He swung his sword as if desperately trying to catch the scattering tricks.
But like sand in the palm of your hand, they flow down.
Originally, the sword that had to be connected was a flow sword aimed at counterattacking while gently shedding the opponent\'s attack.
Kwak! Boom!
However, Seoyoon could not handle the sword of the swordsman.
Can not be done. Can not.
This was its own limit.
No matter how hard you try, you can\'t break down the wall of talent.
what can\'t It won\'t work.
Seoyoon\'s sword fell down.
That moment.
A person\'s existence was reflected in Seoyoon\'s eyes.
An existence that silently watches over one corner of the gymnasium.
Seo-jun was just silently watching Seo-yoon\'s fight.
There was not the slightest doubt in his expression.
A certain certainty that he would eventually do it was reflected on Seo-joon\'s face.
Impossible seems to be nothing.
which.
Kkadeudeudeuk!!
It became a light to Seoyoon\'s dying soul.
“...!!”
Geomseong opened his eyes in surprise at Seoyoon\'s rapidly changing momentum.
Though she thought it was over, Seoyoon did not give up.
Still, it was there.
The current Seoyoon cannot complete the sword...!
however.
Ka-ang!
The sword of the swordsman, which had been driven, flowed.
As if piercing the gap, Seoyoon\'s sword counterattacked.
It is a flow sword that aims for a counterattack while gently letting down the opponent\'s attack.
It\'s late to understand.
The feeling of the hand holding the sword is unfamiliar.
gaze a little lower.
Seoyoon grew up among great people.
Others have met numerous great people whom they would like to meet once in their lifetime.
However, Seoyoon was ordinary unlike those people.
Among great people, mediocrity was a curse.
If I had lived with ordinary people, wouldn\'t I have been able to live a little differently than I do now?
Seoyoon was busy running away from such a reality.
Then I met Seojun.
That\'s how I was able to meet Seo-jun and have a different experience.
‘Mr. Seoyoon. Self-reproach is only one of many motivations, not the only way to achieve it. Even if you are a little generous with yourself, even if you take a break during difficult times, your life won\'t collapse.\'
I could have thought of something else.
‘Why don\'t you do something extravagant? Haha What are you doing driving around in a luxury car? I can only brag about 5 years anyway. But I can brag for the rest of my life that I\'ve achieved something, right?\'
And all of those things made Seoyoon what she is now.
I don\'t want to give up now.
I don\'t want to sit down again.
I want to stand next to you
A wisp of wind moves in the heart.
I can not know. Would you say you enjoyed this experience?
I do not know.
Did Grandpa do this?
No, a little more than this...
I feel a certain sense, a certain sense.
It is an unconscious, not conscious, action.
what kind of sincerity.
and.
Ka—————Ah!
“Haha...! Haha...!”
Seoyoon\'s sword.
“It\'s done... done...!”
so it was done
“...!!!!”
“...!!!!”
The swordsman couldn\'t believe the situation right in front of him.
And it was the same for Seo Mun-cheol, who watched the scene.
The reason why Seo Mun-cheol invited Seo Jun was not different.
It was just that he risked rudeness in order to let him share his final goodbyes with Seoyoon.
The Sword Saint knew that meaning to some extent, so he just let it go.
It was obviously impossible.
Seoyoon obviously couldn\'t.
No matter how much she was her own granddaughter, she couldn\'t do it.
It was an obvious limitation of Seoyoon.
It was an unattainable stage that could not be reached with the current level of Seoyoon.
however.
But what the hell is this scene you see now!
‘What the hell are you...!\'
The surprised eyes of the Sword Saint hardly diminished.
“Now… can we go together? Are you giving me permission?”
Seoyoon said to the swordsman with a disfigured appearance.
However, only those eyes were shining brighter than ever.
The swordsman couldn\'t say anything.
It was because the swordsman caught a glimpse of a certain existence in Seoyoon\'s eyes.
The Sword Master slowly turned his gaze and looked at the existence in one corner.
That being was running toward a certain goal.
That\'s why the hardships and storms of the future were clearly expected.
however.
sometimes very occasionally.
There was someone who couldn\'t see the limit.
There are people who erase their limitations and move forward together.
There are people who do that.
And the swordsman couldn\'t.
I couldn\'t.
Thus, the period of cataclysm.
The swordsman had to lose countless people.
The remaining 5 heroes, including the Sword Saint, were the ones who were not swept away by such storms.
Qualified literally from the start.
That\'s why he stopped Seoyoon who didn\'t deserve it.
Because the path Seo-jun wanted to walk was the same as the path he had walked.
Because I knew that even if I walked that road together, there would be only wounds and death at the end.
It must be so... I thought.
“I did it...! Mr. Seo Jun! I did it!!”
But it\'s different.
Because he himself has no limits, those who follow him also have no limits.
Since that existence has become a huge support, his surroundings are not swept away by anything.
Those who are looking to be a follower go beyond their own limits to follow him.
This is why miracles happen on the way they walk.
A single existence,
that single move, makes a person that way.
“I did it!!”
Geomseong was at a loss for words at the sight of Seoyoon shouting and rejoicing.
Geomseong didn\'t come up with any thoughts at Seo-joon\'s calm appearance, as if he knew it would happen.
Why?
‘By the way, swordsman. Someone who sometimes thought it was nothing. I\'m going to do what no one else can do.\'
tingling ears.
‘Swordsman. Our time is passing. It may have already passed.\'
Maybe it\'s because of this.
“As expected, Seoyoon-ssi, I knew you could do it! really the best! Jjangjjangman! No, jjangjjang woman!”
“Poop! What is that!”
‘Time has passed... so much, swordsman. haha.\'
The swordsman\'s time is just sluggish today.
#
The swordsman eventually accepted Seoyoon\'s will.
Even though it is still only the first step of the breaking heaven divine sword (破天神劍), a promise is a promise.
It was because it was clear that Seoyoon had completed her own sword.
Seo-jun was able to take Seo-yoon to Dream Academy.
On the way to the academy.
“Seojun.”
Suddenly, Seoyoon called Seojun.
Then, after a moment of hesitation, he spoke cautiously.
“If… if I had failed, what were you going to do then?”
And though she spat out the words, Seoyoon\'s face blushed for no reason.
It was because the answer he wanted to hear had already been decided.
Seo-jun, who challenged Geom-seong to save Man-cheol the other day.
Because Seoyoon wanted to hear such an unreasonable answer.
“Uh... You were going to visit the president of the association, right?”
However, Seo-jun\'s answer was a little different from what Seo-yoon expected.
Seoyoon knew that it shouldn\'t be like that, but somehow she felt sad.
Is that why?
Unbeknownst to Seoyoon, her tone leaked out in a brusque way.
“...... Why is the president of the association?”
But whether or not Seo-jun knows Seo-yoon\'s heart.
Seo-joon smiled once and then moved on indifferently.
Seeing Seo-jun like that, Seo-yoon felt more than sad.
But after hearing Seojun\'s voice, Seoyoon could feel her heart melting away like snow.
And also realized.
For Seojun.
“Because I was trying to postpone the announcement of the end of the Pro Hunter exam. No matter what method you use.”
that the impossible does not exist.
Seoyoon stood there and looked at Seojun\'s back.
And just then.
belt ring.
Suddenly, a message notification sound from Seo-joon.
Seojun wanted something and checked the contents.
< Seojun oppa! I didn\'t answer the phone. Where the hell did you go? The president of the association has come to the academy and is waiting for you and Seoyoon unnie! >
It was a text message from none other than Suyeon.
Seo-joon smiled and put his smartphone into his arms.
Then he slowly turned around and shouted at Seoyoon, who was standing in a daze.
“Seoyun! Come quickly! How many people are waiting for Seoyoon right now!”
Seo-joon\'s steps quickened as if he would leave it if he didn\'t come quickly.
Seoyoon\'s face with a gentle smile.
“let\'s go together!”
It seemed that Seoyoon would never forget this moment for the rest of her life.
