Regression Is Too Much

7 – The ponytail girl is too strong (3)

Getting the ponytail girl’s cooperation.

I didn’t expect it to be like this in one shot.

While changing the concept, I thought I would barely succeed after trying about 10 times.

Joy fills my heart.

From now on, will I become stronger in earnest?

If this were a novel, it would be ‘The Conqueror of the Great Tower. It must have been written, “His first step has just begun.”

“Name.”

“Yes?”

“Name. What?”

“Ah. I am Junho Kim.”

Because I was thinking about her, I couldn’t answer the ponytail girl’s words right away.

But now that I think about it, why are you talking half-heartedly? It’s not cheap.

Of course, I didn’t show it outwardly.

Since I am in a regrettable situation, shouldn’t I bend over?

“Please tell me your name too.”

But I need to know at least the name. You can’t call her a girl with a ponytail all the time.

“… Choi Ji-won.”

A ponytail girl who answers coldly… No, Choi Ji-won.

Choi Ji-won. Choi Ji-won. It is a neutral name. You can see it as a male name like Yeonam Park Ji-won, or a female name like actor Kim Ji-won.

I thought it was a name that would suit her with her boyish charm. Jiwon Choi. I have to remember.

“Come on.”

Choi Ji-won led me to the corner of the clearing where she wielded her sword the whole time.

“Hold the sword. As comfortable as possible.”

“… Yes.”

Just like before, I grabbed the sword hesitantly.

“Swing it.”

Ugh.

The sword makes a sound that is not threatening at all.

“Lean the strength on your shoulders. Spread your legs again.”

Ugh.

“The sword grip is strange. The wrist must not shake. Again.”

Whoops.

“Again.”

“Again.”

“Again.”

Every time I swing my sword, Choi Ji-won tells me what to fix and says ‘again’.

The swordsmanship lesson I was thinking of wasn’t like this, but… It’s okay though.

Hung!

This time it sounded quite menacing. The posture is also pretty good.

Considering that less than 30 minutes had passed since he had swung his sword hesitantly, it was literally a great leap forward.

Of course. Before the return, while handling the sword, I had a sense of how to wield it to some extent.

Hiding your skills is also part of directing.

Jiwon Choi is not teaching me with a serious mindset. They probably think of it as something like peanuts.

However, after teaching, what if you have talent?

What if the speed at which this guy absorbs skills is unusual?

You may feel that you want to grow properly. In other words, it’s like a talented cosplayer.

Now, marvel at my talent.

From noble mtl dot com

Be sincere in teaching me. It will absorb it like a sponge.

However, Choi Ji-Won’s face was strangely distorted rather than amazed.

“… Why?”

Choi Ji-won did not answer even though he asked carefully.

His right foot is twitching, and he looks like he’s thinking about something.

What is it? Did i do something wrong?

“You.”

Choi Ji-won finally opened his mouth.

“Was that just an act?”

“… Yes?”

Sureung!

Choi Ji-Won draws his sword and points it at my neck.

“The speed of growth I just showed doesn’t make sense to me because I’m not a genius. But to be a genius, the image he shows now is too clumsy. It doesn’t fit.”

“… “

f*ck.

This woman is much stronger than I thought. Just by seeing the way I swung my sword, I immediately figured out that I was acting.

“What is the purpose? Approaching me? But it doesn’t make sense that you knew about me. It seems there is some kind of means. Is it a characteristic ability?”

Choi Ji-won, who has sharp eyes.

Because I was overwhelmed by that charisma, I unknowingly swallowed my saliva.

“I… that… “

“You were nervous. My heartbeat got louder.”

“No, as for how this happened… “

Wow!

An intense shock that hit the back of the head.

My eyes flashed for a moment, and the taste of dirt in my mouth.

What, did I fall? More than that, consciousness…

“I will listen to the detailed explanation after waking up.”

“f*ck! Where are you!”

“… “

Surprisingly, the story about fainting from a very hard blow to the back of the head was true.

I didn’t expect to experience that with my own body.

I feel very sick to my stomach… Dizzy… It’s a feeling you don’t want to experience twice.

By the way… Choi Ji-won noticed at once that I hid my power.

As expected, if the level difference is too great, the acting won’t work.

Well, just because a third-rate samurai hides a sword behind his back, a warrior of the highest peak won’t be fooled by that.

I think I was too arrogant. Regardless of her characteristics, that woman is overwhelmingly stronger than me.

I don’t think I should dare to think that I can cheat at my level.

Of course, I didn’t know that I was a woman who would be investigated because I lied a little… But now that I know it, it’s okay.

Again. Let’s try again.

“Everyone! I don’t know whose scheme it is, but in times of crisis like this, we must come together!”

He gave a passionate speech and proceeded the same way until the part where he despaired at the cold reality.

The only difference is that this time he swung his sword without hiding his skills.

“Wait. What are you going to do now?”

But whether or not I hid her powers, she seemed like a similar bug to her, and Choi Ji-won stood in my way again.

She gets an offer to teach swords as well, and exchanges her names.

“Sword. Swing it.”

I was finally able to arrive at the same situation as in the previous round.

Okay, if you hide your power, you’ll get caught, right? Then I’ll show you my everything.

“Suck!”

Huung!

I focused and showed off a blow that was a compilation of my experiences so far.

Wow. It’s not that I’m swinging it, but the sword’s trajectory is pretty neat. As expected, I was improving as I went back and forth.

“… Have you ever held a sword?”

That seems to be the same even for Choi Ji-won. Cynically poses a question

“… hahahaha. When I was in high school, I was in the kendo club. Are you in good shape?”

I came up with an excuse I had prepared in advance, but…

“A lie.”

Again, Choi Ji-Won’s distorted expression.

“The bamboo sword used in kendo and the jingeom you are holding have completely different senses as well as center of gravity. However, your posture right now is optimized for a real sword. You have something to hide.”

“… Ah.”

There is such a thing… ?

Wow!

[Damaged.]

[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]

“Because a relative handles a real sword… I took private lessons for a while.”

“What is his name? I memorize all the names of people who say they handle swords in Korea. Let me tell you.”

“… “

Wow!

[Damaged.]

[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]

***

“I learned it in the military.”

“I don’t know if it’s dagger or bayonet, but I’ve never heard of learning how to handle a real sword in the military. Do I look stupid because I am a woman?”

“… “

Wow!

[Damaged.]

[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]

***

Good. I’ll admit it.

When it comes to sword knowledge, that woman knows far, far better than I do.

No matter how ironic she invents her lies, she won’t be able to fool her.

That woman was an expert in swordsmanship in real life. I am not an opponent who can gain the upper hand because I know only the vaguely imaginary swordsmanship of martial arts or fantasy.

In the end, I decided to use the last resort.

“… Have you ever held a sword?”

“No?”

Go straight ahead brazenly.

In the first place, it is impossible for me to wrestle with my tongue and win. You have to put an iron plate on your face and just push it out.

Please, just move on. Just teach me how to handle a knife… !

“… Lie. That attitude is not that of a person with little experience.”

However, Choi Ji-won glared at me suspiciously, as if he had no intention of letting go.

Seeing her hand creep towards the scabbard, I hurriedly continued.

“But is it really? I shouted at the status window earlier… I was just able to do it. I guess it’s because of the character… “

“… “

Choi Ji-won shuts up in an instant.

She also has superhuman physical abilities thanks to her traits, so you should know that my story is possible.

“… What is the attribute name?”

“Ah, that’s a secret. If you tell me your characteristics, I will tell you mine too.”

Choi Ji-won, who was curious about my characteristics, but became a dumb who ate honey as if he couldn’t tell me about them.

She kept her mouth shut for a while.

“… Grab a knife or something.”

In the end, she chose to just let it go.

After receiving proper swordsmanship lessons, she finally realized.

I didn’t know anything about swords.

After barely dipping his toe into the vast sea of swords, he mistook himself for improving his skills.

Compared to the dozens of hours of swinging the sword alone, the three hours I learned now have improved my skills a lot.

Just changing the direction of the foot gives strength to the sword, and just changing the angle of the elbow greatly reduces the load on the arm.

Truly the subtle logic of the body. A monumental tower of knowledge built by geniuses.

“Whoa.”

I happily wiped the sweat from my forehead.

Confidence springs up when you feel the ability to advance in the first place.

Am I not a genius?

“… Of all the people I have ever taught, you seem to be the least gifted.”

No.

Choi Ji-won opens his mouth with a subtle expression.

“It will take me three years to be healthy… I didn’t think I would be this talented… “

Apparently, he seems to regret having set out to teach me.

Am I not that talented? My heart ached a little.

“I learned swordsmanship… to forget It might be worse than not using it.”

Choi Ji-won openly declares, “You must not use a knife.”

But.

“… Can it be three years?”

It hurt my pride so much to go over like this.

Am I that stupid? Are you sure?

That woman, I wanted to see her flustered appearance.

I missed seeing that woman praising me.

I wanted to be acknowledged.

Puck!

In the sense of making a promise, he hit me hard in the chest.

We set the next goal.

Until he was recognized as a sword by Choi Ji-won… I won’t stop returning.
