11. Clues – 08

“You have no talent for martial arts.”

In the past nine regressions, that was the word Jin heard the most from others.

“Aren’t you talented in swordsmanship, spears, bows, and even martial arts… This is a bit too much.”

“… Isn’t that a bit harsh? I am also working hard in my own way.”

“What will you do if you just try? The problem is that no matter how hard you try, it doesn’t work. Besides, aren’t you a regressor? At best, even if you make a body, it will return to its original state if you regress, and on the other hand, you don’t think about improving your skills at all. You really are an ugly disciple with no strengths to be found.”

“…..”

It was indeed painful fact violence, but Jin was the one who became ugly if he had to make an excuse here, so he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

“But just because there are no advantages doesn’t mean they are bad. There are no advantages, in other words, there are no noticeable disadvantages. In other words, instead of having no strengths, you have a container that can put everything in one place.”

“… Is that a compliment?”

Why does Jin’s ears sound like he’s saying that he’ll never succeed no matter what he does, so he should poke at this and that.

“Of course, it’s not a compliment. However, I wanted to say that just as a slug has a knack for rolling, even a disciple who is ugly and has no strengths can achieve at least one thing if he works hard.”

“… Are you saying that because you think I won’t be able to overcome the end?”

“No, it can’t be. I believe you will ultimately be able to break all demise.”

She glanced at Jin with a sullen expression.

“Even though you are an ugly disciple with no talent to be found, on the contrary, aren’t you given infinite opportunities through regression? If you can’t do it 10 times, if you can’t do it 100 times, if you can’t do it 100 times, if you hit it 1,000 times, then one day you will be able to achieve your goal.”

“…..”

In any case, he could not be a ruthless teacher who, far from giving hope to his pupils, uttered words that severely undermined his will.

“Overcoming the end is not that important to you. More importantly, they are the people you will encounter over and over again in your life. Compared to that, demise is really nothing.”

Saying that, she raised her hand and gently stroked Jin’s cheek. It’s like touching a treasure that can’t be replaced with anything.

“You will repeat your life in the future, face many people, and go through countless difficult and painful things. And in the process, your emotions will be endlessly worn and cut off. It’s not an area that I can do anything about. Originally, life is suffering, and it is extremely human to struggle endlessly in countless pains.”

“… Master.”

“That is why I want to give you strength. It’s nothing different, so that you can carry out your own will in living your life. So that you can practice what you think is right without bending your will to others.”

“That seems to be the last gift this poor teacher can give you.”

Saying so, she only created a martial art that perfectly suited her poor disciple.

Of course, it wasn’t easy. Even if she had one of the best talents on the continent, it was almost impossible to create a radish that would make even Dunjae stronger with effort.

In the end, she couldn’t complete the radish for her pupil.

However, her will was conveyed to her in the next round through Jin, and after going through countless regressions and receiving help from many people, she eventually came up with a technique.

It took 30 years to get there. She gave the name ‘Exceed’ to the technology she created for her apprentice.

“Never use it carelessly. It’s a technology that I created in the past and now, but it’s a very dangerous technology.”

She hated the technology she created.

“A skill that burns itself by using the excreted life as fuel. There’s no doubt about its power, but Exceed is a cursed skill that will one day consume you.”

“Remember. You are a regressor, and even death means nothing to you, but that is why you should value and value your own life.”

Nevertheless, the reason why she created this skill for Jin was because she guessed that there would be a situation in which he would have to use this skill in the journey he had to go through in the future.

… Yes, like at this moment, for example.

“… you.”

An ominous sound like lightning flashing fills the gymnasium. However, Jin’s appearance was not much different from the outside. It wasn’t that ferocious, and it wasn’t causing waves of aura.

… However, the sense as a military man that the Count had honed and polished was ringing countless alarm bells as he watched the current camp.

never be careless That man had the means to kill himself.

And the count trusted his senses more than his reason.

At the same time as wrapping an aura all over his body at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, he hurriedly took out a magic gun from his chest.

You can’t defeat him with just a single sword. Serias’ unique fighting technique, ‘Song of the Sky’ must be used together to defeat him!

And-

aaang!

It was something that happened completely in the realm of instinct. The Count had inadvertently taken a step back, and the place where he had just been standing exploded as if it had exploded.

‘I didn’t recognize it?’

It was absurd. Can there be an attack that you can’t recognize in the world?

The supernatural ability that the count possesses is no different than ‘instant foreknowledge.’

Basically, in a duel close to number reading, it is possible to read the future to come and change the future by choosing the best number for oneself from it.

However, the Count, who possesses such instant foresight, could not foresee Jin’s attack.

How and by what means?

Watching the lines of light fluctuate around his body at a truly incredible speed, the Count was able to understand a beat later.

‘Light speed!’

I couldn’t understand it even when I saw it with my own eyes. How on earth could a human be able to move at the speed of lightning itself?

Of course, there was a lot to say about the speed of light, but it was meaningless in this area. Because, whether at the speed of light or not, it was a long way for the Count to catch up with Jin moving at this speed.

‘Ten seconds.’

And just like Altina, Jin made a decision in his heart as he saw the count holding a sword and a gun.

‘It’s over in 10 seconds.’

But since you’re a father-in-law, start lightly.

The moment he made his decision, the light erupted. The light scattered in an instant spreads out and fills the arena.

The light that was scattered and split soon took the form of a madman from above the count’s head, and soon plunged his fist full of thunderbolt into the floor.

aaang!

The entire gymnasium building is shaken. The thunderbolt that slammed into the floor collapsed the gymnasium that had been treated with anti-physical treatment.

“Keugh!”

However, the count who was in the middle of it was unexpectedly fine. It was because he was protecting himself with an aura, and succeeded in shedding the shock by foreseeing the attack at the last moment.

The Count is pushed back by the shockwave. The distance between the two increased by several tens of meters in an instant, but before it was time to exhale, the two were clashing again.

Kkwagwagwagwang!

Auras and thunderbolts exploded in all directions.

The sight of golden lines and blue auras embroidering the air, which even looked beautiful at first glance, was truly spectacular.

However, Count Serias, who was in the middle of the scene, unknowingly bit his lip.

‘fast.’

Ever since I reached the level of Master, I have never been able to face him head-on like this. It was almost impossible to overwhelm even Duke Pendragon or Count Lysitea, who are said to be the strongest of the Empire’s masters.

Combat is basically a fight where you read the opponent’s number, but the Count was the owner of the foul ability to look at all the opponent’s numbers and counter them.

But now, Jin devised a really simple countermeasure with such an earl in front of him.

To unleash countless attacks so quickly that even if they were foreknowledge, they would be useless.

Even if he could see through the enemy’s intentions and set up a plan in advance, the opponent easily dodged his attacks, sometimes canceling the attacks, or attacking himself between attacks.

It was absurd. I’ve heard that he’s only in his late teens, but did anyone have enough combat experience to be able to ‘count-read’ on par with him without even using an aura?

Wow!

Sword and fist intertwined. The traces of the magic gun and the lines of light intertwined.

Seven seconds after the start of the battle, the Count realized that his hands and feet were getting dizzy at Jin’s movements, which seemed to be dancing.

No, he realized that Jin’s movements were shaking and changing accordingly, as if he had foreseen what he would do in a moment.

‘… This, this guy, no way… .’

In the meantime, I thought it was an illusion, but it wasn’t. Jin was aware of all of his movements, no, the movements of the ‘Song of the Sky’!

And there was only one person who could tell Jin what kind of movement the ‘Song of the Sky’ would take.

‘Altina.’

Oh, she’s like an unfilial girl. I fell in love with him enough to tell him everything about my family.

In the end, Jin, who had broken through all the attacks that the Count had laid out in advance, stomped his foot down from above his head. It was an attack with enormous power that could shatter even the ground in one blow if hit properly.

aaagh!

With a huge explosion that reverberated everywhere, Jin and the Count were thrown to the other side.

The moment he landed hastily on the floor, a foresight came to the count’s mind.

After a while, a total of two attacks came upon him. One attack from the front of the body, and the other from the right flank, a throng of lights attacking him.

Let’s admit it. I don’t know what the alternative principle is, but in terms of speed alone, he was the strongest among those the count had seen.

If so, it would be safe to say that there is no way to block the two attacks that will come at the same time.

Perhaps the best option he can take is to somehow block the attack from the front and step back to strengthen the defense.

‘But I can’t.’

However, the count’s pride never allowed that choice.

From this point on, he is a strong man who has reigned from the top of the heavens for a long time in the empire, and an absolute master who has reached the level of a master.

For him, it was nothing short of humiliating to retreat behind the barrage of his daughter’s boyfriend, a kid in his late teens.

So, it’s not a defense, it’s a head-on game. The reason was simple. It seemed that the Count would not be able to sleep well tonight unless he gave the boy a good night’s sleep.

‘Goes.’

Prepare a cross counter. Creates Aura bullets imitating Desperado’s perma-permanent ability in the horse gun.

clap-

raise the gun It is a magic bullet that contains the maximum amount of aura that the Count can contain. No matter how fast you are, the moment you attack me, you will have no choice but to reveal your true nature!

Timing is already known through foreknowledge. If he fires a bullet at subsonic speed 0.1 second before the halo of light touches his body, he will inevitably be fatally wounded.

Whoaaagh!

The next moment, as he had foreseen, a huge group of lights rushes towards him.

It is now. At the very moment he foresaw, the Count fired a magic bullet towards the very center of the glow-

“…..”

Just like that, it stopped.

The timing was perfect. Just before the halo of light attacked from the front, the magic bullet he fired succeeded in penetrating space.

… However, the cluster of lights that flew towards the count from the front was just a simple light without any meaning.

“I thought it was the speed of light, but wasn’t it actually light?”

Looking at Jin’s fist stuck in his side, the Count muttered in a voice that sounded like he was dejected.

“It’s not light, it’s just that your speed is so fast that an afterimage like a halo of light remains in this world. It’s a really weird technique. At the same time, it’s a technology that’s so ridiculous that who made it.”

“Because my teacher is such an eccentric person.”

Jin’s low muttering made the Count suffocate and burst into laughter.

“jin.”

“Yes.”

“My defeat, your victory. I will admit it.”

At the Count’s calm words, Jin also smiled dejectedly.

You pretended to be detached from winning or losing when you just before shot a magic bullet aiming at my head in an attempt to defeat me somehow.

Unfortunately, however, the Count’s words did not seem to have come to an end.

“I don’t know anything else… If you make my daughter cry in the future, I will really kill you. Got it?”

“… Yes.”

If it’s going to come out like this, why the hell did you ask for a duel from the beginning?

Jin let out a small sigh in his heart.
