147 – EP.7 Soyou VS Cheongyeon-1

***

– Phuetch

He coughs loudly and opens his eyes.

chewing gum. Move your swollen and stuffy eyes.

‘It’s an unfamiliar ceiling’ is too clichéd.

The last thing I remember was that it was very cold.

Feeling sluggish, I lowered my head slightly, and a thick blanket was layered over my body.

“Losing is losing. The aftereffects last a long time.”

Normally, I should have been sweating profusely already, but I was cold even under the pile of blankets.

How long have you been lying down?

The brightness seen through the gaps in the bars was dark.

Had she been attacked by Cheongyeon and passed out until night?

I bet he didn’t lie down for more than two days.

“……”

Sensing a presence nearby, I turn my head.

I see Master sitting cross-legged on the floor.

Closing your eyes and arranging your breathing may seem like you are having a bad luck.

Oh, it’s night now, so it’s a late night snack.

Did he go crazy because he was beaten by Cheong-yeon?

I don’t know why I’m doing this.

Move slowly so as not to get in the way.

Even moving is difficult because of the weight of the blanket.

When I woke up with a whimper, a thick blanket was wrapped around my waist.

He rubs his still flamboyant body with his hand, and starts the spirit that has not yet returned.

Unfold your right hand.

Well….

It slowly draws out energy from the danjeon and circulates it throughout the body.

Feel the flow of energy circulating throughout the body, and focus your index finger.

With the feeling of turning the energy around the index finger a little faster than other places…

– Hurreuk

The flames that bloomed from the index finger flickered.

yes, it was this way

When I was trapped in the ice made by Cheongyeon, I quickly turned a bet on my body to get out somehow.

As a result, I felt that my whole body was burning hot, and at the same time, I had an intuition that I was going to start a fire.

Normally, I would have slowed down my rising body temperature, but thanks to Cheongyeon’s ice, my body temperature seems to have been moderately balanced.

As a result, he managed to create a spark and hit Cheong-yeon in the face.

In short, in order to ignite, the bet must be circulated at a certain speed or more.

And when you realize this principle, you can understand why Yeomrun Gong does Baktu. This is because the speed of the bet flowing through a very small part of the body must be increased to light a fire.

Of course, you can put the flame all over your body, but it puts a lot of strain on your body. Whether it’s a burden on the body, or a rising body temperature…

Probably, I dare to think that neither the ambassador nor the master will be able to maintain it for long.

Like the flame on a candle on a cake, look at the flame flickering at the tip of your index finger and then blow it out.

And again, spin the bet on your index finger to create a spark.

It’s a more natural motion than before.

“Oh… I guess I’m a bit of a genius.”

Being able to utter anything you want makes me feel better.

Although he lost to Cheong-yeon, he doesn’t feel resentful at all.

On the contrary, I pride myself on hitting the jackpot.

Of course, Cheongyeon took care of me a bit… but it’s an indelible fact that she gave one of the three successors of martial arts an effective hit.

“Are you awake?”

While I’m doing that, I hear a sound next to me.

Master broke the long silence.

“yes.”

“How is your body?”

“It’s fine except for a little spooky.”

“Cheongyeon still seems to have lost her strength at the end. If she had really lowered her sword, she would have frozen to death.”

“It’s a tournament where you can’t kill in the first place.”

“You could say that I killed it [accidentally] out of excitement for a while. Should I punish the successor of Ice Lun Gong for killing an unknown soldier?”

“I hear and see.”

“Anyway, I had to stop.”

“What are you saying?”

“what?”

“Why do you have it? Having lost to Ice Wheel Gong, it’s a disgrace to Yeom Lun Gong. I thought you would scold me like this.”

At my words, Master looked me straight in the eyes.

Then, raise the corners of your mouth slightly, creating a faint smile.

“Good job.”

“yes?”

I ask back at the unexpected compliment.

“Don’t make me say it twice.”

With a ferocious face, Master stares at me.

Then he sighs and opens his mouth again.

“You’ve done well enough. You’ve shown everything you can do, and you’ve learned to speak in a short amount of time. You’re great today.”

You slightly look away, are you ashamed?

You shouldn’t go against Master’s heart by making fun of yourself.

Because I am a good disciple.

“Thank you. Anyway, what about the next matchup?”

“Cheongyeon advanced to the finals with a bye, and I have a game tomorrow.”

“It’s the semifinals. How about tomorrow’s opponent?”

“Well, he’s quite a famous warrior. My opponent is no good.”

Pretending to straighten her shoulders, Master smirked.

“The final is the day after tomorrow. Cheongyeon will take a day off, and Master won’t be able to.”

“That doesn’t have much of an impact. It doesn’t matter how much you’ve trained until now.”

oh wow, quote.

“Have you ever been with Cheongyeon?”

“I’ve done a few dances.”

“I’m embarrassed… but a history?”

“6 wins 0 losses. I’m 6 wins.”

“Oh, then victory is a matter of course.”

“Well. Since a lot of time has passed since the last dance, I don’t think it would be difficult to judge it carelessly…”

Rarely did Master blurt out.

His lack of confidence bothers me, so I bluff for no reason.

“Even so. There’s such a thing as human compatibility. You always said that Yeomrin Gong is the strongest martial arts.”

“Oh, that’s right. Anyway, what I want to say is that no matter what the opponent’s record is, I will not be vigilant.”

“That’s a good attitude.”

“Whoops, thank you.”

When I praised Master with a thumbs up, Master shrugged and laughed.

“……”

Master, who had been showing off for a while, tilted his head for a moment and then looked at me.

“Eh? Why? Did you put something on that face?”

“No, not that.”

Master’s face wrinkled little by little.

“Who are you to treat me like a subordinate?”

uh… is that so?

Watching Master’s increasingly crumpled face, I hurriedly came up with an excuse.

“Uh… well, but I’m actually older… Ugh!”

thud!

Master’s honey balm exploded on the crown of his head.

I went back to bed as it was, and Master looked at me and said with a snort.

“You arrogant fellow. Anyway, rest more. The coldness of ice skating is not something you can get away with by taking a day off.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

He rubbed his tingling head and answered curtly.

Master smiled again and stood up.

“Looking at you being arrogant, your body seems to be fine. I’m going to leave. Take a break.”

“Yes. Have a good night, Master.”

Master left the room, and I pulled the blanket over again and went to sleep.

***

The next day, as Master said, Master passed the semi-finals without much effort.

It was a bit disappointing that the decision seemed easy for a contest held by young warriors with bright futures.

and the next day

I can feel this force even in the economy seat where I sit.

Even though the game hasn’t even started yet, this fight of spirit staring at each other.

“Now, get ready!”

The loud referee’s voice rings out.

The battle between the Flame Ring Gong and the Ice Ring Gong.

Everyone, whether in the VIP or general seats, held their breath and looked at the stadium.

“……”

“……”

“Okay! Start!!”

At the same time as the referee’s hand was lowered, unusual energy rose from the feet of Master, Cheongyeon, and each other as if they were exploding.

A huge explosion created at the same time Master’s feet hit the cloud.

And the ice sheet quickly gnawing away at the stadium as if to silence the explosion.

The battle between cilantro and cilantro has begun.
