Episode 512: Battle with a hammer

The training continued throughout the week of the Daeinjeon and even into the weekend.

– Wow!

I plunged the hammer into the top of Song Cheon-hye’s head.

Then, as I stepped back diagonally, a lightning bolt passed by just in time.

-Quarring!

Song Cheon-hye opens her gloved hands.

Electric currents crackle and gather in the topaz, stretching out like taffy sticks and turning into a whip.

The next moment, the whip of electric current drew an irregular trajectory.

– Chijijijik,

I dodged twice and then cast Blink just before the third attack hit.

In response, Song Cheon-hye immediately bent down, and an ambiguous “picking” sound was heard as the hammer passed by.

“You dodged it well.”

With praise, I followed closely behind and struck the hammer repeatedly.

– Bwak bwak bwak!

– Patsutsutsu!

Then, as if in repulsion, the electric current spurted out and made me retreat.

“… … .”

Song Cheon-hye corrects her posture and uses magic.

He clusters and scatters electric current into several baseball-sized spheres and manipulates two hummingbirds.

– Hold on!

The spheres connected and resonated, covering the entire training room with electricity.

‘There is no need to avoid this.’

Because it is inversely proportional to the wide range, its power is almost non-existent.

I advanced straight towards Song Cheon-hye.

Not only the electric current, but even the hummingbirds cannot reach my body and are blocked by the barrier.

“… … !”

Just as Song Cheonhye raised her eyes and was about to make the next move, compressed air exploded from her shoulder.

– Bang!

It was a secretly prepared wind force.

Taking advantage of the opportunity where his posture was broken, I rushed at him like a sledgehammer and hit him randomly on his head, face, shoulders, head, and face with a hammer.

– Bwak bwak bwak bwak!

A hammer that swings in a large trajectory with a decisive blow.

Song Cheon-hye, who had been beaten numerous times, seemed to feel something unusual this time, and she flinched and closed her eyes tightly.

However, I only pretended to hit him and then took the hammer away.

“This is it for now. “Let’s have lunch.”

“… … It’s already that time. Thank you for your effort.”

Song Cheon-hye took a deep breath and straightened up her disheveled clothes.

Next, I called Seo Ye-in, who was rolling around in a corner of the training room.

“Mr. Seo, you too, wake up. “Let’s go.”

“huh… … .”

A calligrapher who moves slowly with a slight time gap.

Song Cheon-hye’s expression when she saw that was half absurd and half envious.

‘Even if you do that, mana accumulates.’

For others, mana exercises require proper posture and concentration, but idle sloths can do them while sitting or lying down thanks to their incredible mana control.

I could probably walk around if I wanted to, but given my personality, I probably wouldn’t work that hard.

When I first told Song Cheon-hye this, of course I didn’t believe it, but when I saw the sloth rolling around for several days, I had no choice but to believe it.

If that doesn’t work, it doesn’t explain why the PvP score is rising to the right.

As we all left the training room, we heard the familiar sound of a hammer from afar.

– Kang, Kang, Kang,

Kang Byeol is busy carving a large statue.

Perhaps thanks to working day and night for several days, considerable progress was made.

The rough iron pillar had some outline, and the upper body was recognizable as the principal.

It feels considerably younger and more beautified than the original, but isn’t that the case with all art?

The important thing is that the person concerned is satisfied.

With cheers in our hearts, we left the training center and walked toward the student cafeteria.

The lunch menu is a sandwich that you make yourself.

Various ingredients are lined up like a buffet.

On one side, there is a grill that looks like a waffle maker, and it is used to make paninis.

While Seo Ye-in and Song Cheon-hye looked around with curious eyes, I quickly began putting my food on my plate.

Spread the sauce evenly on the rye bread and top with chicken breast, cheese, and a few vegetables.

Then insert it into the grill and press down firmly.

Just wait like this for a while and it’s over.

But Seo Ye-in sneakily approached me and held out an empty plate.

“… … .”

“What does this plate imply?”

“please.”

“I made this?”

“It looks delicious.”

“But asking them to hand it over is just being lazy.”

“Green forest sloth.”

I decided to just give it a go since I could just make another one at this point.

Place the finished panini on an empty plate.

“Just this one time.”

“First class butler.”

I immediately piled up the same ingredients and put them on the grill.

And when I suddenly looked to the side, Song Cheon-hye was standing awkwardly holding an empty plate.

“… … .”

“Do you want it too?”

“… … no? “I just watched it out of curiosity.”

Song Cheon-hye wanders around the ingredients corner as if she’s trying to prove her point.

Then he comes back to me and asks.

“… … What went in there? “Chicken and cheese,”

“Hey, bring a plate.”

“It’s okay, even if I make it.”

“This is faster. “Just bring it.”

Song Cheon-hye pretended not to be able to resist and held out her plate.

We unintentionally ended up having three identical paninis for lunch.

Still, everyone is mouthing eagerly to see if it tastes good.

Meanwhile, Song Cheon-hye seemed to be worried about something.

Soon he looks at me and asks.

“We did it for almost a month.”

“Almost like that.”

“I think I worked hard in my own way… … “I’m not sure if my skills have improved.”

“When I saw it, it had increased a lot.”

As soon as the confirmation was given, a puzzled look appeared on Song Cheon-hye’s face.

“How do you know?”

“I was gradually increasing the difficulty level to suit your skill level.”

“No, was that something like that?”

From Song Cheon-hye’s perspective, it felt like she was standing still.

The situation of being beaten has not changed whether it was a month ago or now.

On the other hand, I had to hit harder and harder, so I could feel that my opponent’s skills were improving day by day.

“If we continue like this just a little longer, we may not be able to graduate from close combat, but we will be able to turn our attention to other areas. “Control or something.”

“… … I will do my best.”

Song Cheon-hye’s face filled with vitality.

We soon finished our paninis, sipped our coffee, and chatted about various things.

Meanwhile, the door to the student cafeteria opened, and a familiar redhead walked inside.

‘It’s Hong Yeon-hwa.’

Hong Yeon-hwa also found me like a ghost and came closer to me.

“Oh, hi… … !”

However, when he gets halfway, he spots Song Cheon-hye and stops.

“… … What are you doing here?”

“I’m having lunch.”

“I know, but why are we eating together?”

“We sparred together in the morning. “Is there a problem?”

Two people glaring at each other.

It reminds me of a dog showing its teeth and growling, and a hedgehog erecting thorns like chestnuts.

Anyway, I felt like I needed to mediate, so I was about to intervene, but a good idea suddenly occurred to me.

“Hong Yeonhwa.”

“huh… … ?”

“When you have time, you can join us.”

A scarlet lotus flower that reflects its color.

However, just before I say yes, I hesitate as a thought comes to my mind.

“That… … .”

You’re probably worried first.

Because there is a difference in cores, it is obvious that if I match up with Song Cheon-hye, I will be at a disadvantage.

Even if the win or loss is not made public, your pride will be quite hurt if you lose.

I answered casually.

“I know why you’re doing that, but it’s okay. “Just come and see.”

“huh… … .”

Hong Yeon-hwa slowly shook her head.

* * *

After lunch, we returned to the training room.

I faced Song Cheon-hye and Hong Yeon-hwa and opened my mouth.

“In this sparring, we will only look at close combat skills. Deactivate all skills and characteristics. “Take out all the equipment.”

Next, he placed a hammer in each of their hands.

“You can only attack with this. If you hit a lot in 3 minutes, you win. Do you understand?”

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two people nod their heads silently.

I can already feel my fighting spirit burning brightly.

I stepped back and sat with my back against the wall of the training room, and when I got closer, Seo Ye-in put her head on my lap.

In that state, I opened my mouth again.

“It starts on the count of three. one two… … three!”

The two people immediately attack each other.

It was Hong Yeon-hwa who struck first.

– Wow!

However, the next moment, the hammer split the air, and Song Cheon-hye counterattacked right after dodging.

– Boop boop!

“… … !”

Hong Yeon-hwa frowns slightly.

She takes steps and goes around to the other person’s side, and Song Cheon-hye also takes steps facing each other to maintain an appropriate distance.

And they come together as if dancing.

– Boop boop boop boop boop!

The sound effect was like a child’s joke, though.

I watched the two swinging the hammers closely.

‘Mr. Song has a slight advantage.’

It’s almost a close match, but since the battery mage and the all-rounder are in close combat, the latter is bound to have the advantage.

‘I hit him more.’

Thanks to my frequent use of the hammer over the past month, my close combat skills have improved sharply.

The results were revealed through the sparring before our eyes.

– Boop boop! Wow!

If Hong Yeon-hwa hit five or six, Song Cheon-hye hit six or seven, but as time went by, the one or two hits accumulated more and more, widening the gap.

Eventually, the three-minute time limit expired and I made my decision.

“Song Cheonhye wins. “Thank you for your hard work.”

“… … “Your skills have really improved.”

Song Cheon-hye had a very rewarding face.

It is only now that he realizes that his skills have improved.

In the Fix Zone competition, he couldn’t even hit Hong Yeon-hwa well in close combat, but wasn’t he slightly superior in the hammer sparring?

“… … .”

For a similar reason, Hong Yeon-hwa had a sullen face.

I offered some encouragement there.

“You are a gun-type wizard. “Don’t be too disappointed that you lost in a close battle.”

“Yes… … .”

He nods, but his complexion is still dark.

At this, Seo Ye-in, who was on her lap pillow, looked up at me.

“Me too.”

“Sparring?”

“huh.”

“What happened, all of a sudden?”

“plural.”

Soon, Seo Ye-in stood up from her seat and approached Hong Yeon-hwa.

And hold out your hand.

“Give me the hammer.”

“Yes, here… … .”

I thought it would end with me being handed a hammer like that.

Seo Ye-in again took Hong Yeon-hwa’s hand and made her sit on the same spot where she had been lying a moment ago.

Then I made him rest his head on my lap.

“The pillow is comfortable.”

“… … ???”

Hong Yeon-hwa was so confused that she could only roll her eyes.
