Absolute Regression

Chapter 182

Episode 182: I have a question!

It might be the same for the Invincible Horse, but I didn’t know that either.

I never thought I would say something like this to Gwonma. But the moment I heard the horse saying that he would collapse the cliff with one blow, something burned in my heart.

It was a strong desire to throw my fists in front of his impossible challenge.

The horse’s gaze, which was staring into my eyes, turned to my hand.

“With those baby hands?”

Ah, the day will come when my hands will become baby hands.

“Compared to Master Kwon, he is very small and cute, but in the human world, he is also a gifted hand.”

“Stop talking nonsense and go back.”

With a cold wind blowing, the horse left the place.

I looked up at the cliff again.

If a fist comes flying that can destroy this in one hit, will the self-defense machine be able to withstand it?

My clenched fists gained strength.

That afternoon, I visited my father and played baduk for the first time in a long time.

The refreshing sound of the baduk stones being released one move at a time calmed my mind. Maybe the reason I feel so comfortable playing baduk with my father is because it resembles competitive martial arts. This is because once you get on the non-stage or start playing baduk, there is no need to say anything to your opponent.

“I lost.”

In the last game we played, we won by two houses, but today we finally lost by six houses. When I saw the smile that couldn’t be hidden on my father’s lips, I felt like I couldn’t stop him. He was a father who could not live with losing, whether it was baduk or martial arts.

“When you have time, learn some baduk from Master Sima.”

“I guess so.”

“Why did you come today?”

My father had already noticed. I came here because I had business to do.

“Do you get the right feeling when you see a person?”

“You made a particularly hasty move today. “Underwaters always get marks.”

“Sewage! “I hope you win for the first time today.”

I felt good inside. Because it meant that my father cared about my heart while playing baduk.

“There is something I would like to get permission from my father for.”

“What?”

“I would like to learn fighting skills from a fighting horse. Please allow it.”

As if he had expected it, my father showed no particular reaction.

“If you want to learn, you can learn. Why do you need my permission?”

“Of course we have to talk about it and learn from it. “I also have to get my father’s permission.”

“What if I don’t give permission?”

“We have to work harder to get permission.”

I told my father honestly how I felt.

“At first, I had great feelings about Seongdonggyeokseo (????). I was trying to find out what would happen to my brother if I beat the horse. But today, Gwonma said that. “His goal is to collapse the cliff with one blow.”

It seems that my father knew the goal. He wasn’t surprised at all by what I said.

“Those words broke my guard, not the cliff. “As I thought it was cool, I also wanted to knock down the cliff.”

“It’s your chronic weakness. “A naive feeling that is just right to die for.”

When he first said that, he said, ‘It’s just a cheap sentiment that’s worth dying for.’ Now the cheapness is out and naivety has taken its place. That’s exactly how close I became to my father.

“Sometimes that naivety can be an advantage. “There are some mazons that I gained thanks to that.”

“Get it? “Do you really think the Mazons are on your side?”

My father really didn’t trust anyone. Perhaps my father’s values are essential for the leader of the church.

“I think there is no absolute heart in the world except a parent’s heart for their child. However, we are trying not to create a situation where the Mazons’ minds will change.”

It is rare for a person to suddenly change their mind in life. Most people change because circumstances change.

“Do you know that? If you become entangled with martial arts and martial arts, there will definitely come a moment when you have to stick with him. Because I’m the type of person who can never live with losing. “Then the results may be different from your intentions.”

It was something I could say because I knew Gwonma’s personality well. This means that even if you try to become friends, your relationship may become worse.

“What happens if I win?”

“His target will be you, not the cliff.”

After a while, I spoke to my father.

“Isn’t it worth living a life that becomes someone’s goal at least once?”

My father stared at me for a moment and nodded.

“For a fighting horse, you will need to have a correct hand.”

What I was saying was, don’t use trickery to get lucky, but do your best with all your heart. My father’s permission was given.

“thank you.”

When I turned around after greeting my father politely, my father spoke from behind me.

“From now on, I am Baekdol.”

“You have to win three games in a row, right?”

“The law changed as of today.”

Well, the Heavenly Demon wants to change it, so what can you do?

“Then I will have to teach my soldiers how to play baduk as soon as possible.”

* * *

I went to see Gwonma the next day as well.

He had been missing training for a few days, but today he was watching the Tekkens training.

The reaction to me was the same as the first day. He glanced at me and then turned his gaze back to Tekken. But we were clearly in a different relationship from the first day.

“Can we learn together next to the Tekkens?”

The horse looked at me. Still a grim face. Other people would say he was glaring at me as if he were going to kill me, but I could read the emotions in his eyes.

Are you really trying to learn martial arts from me?

I answered with determined eyes.

yes.

The horse looked at me with funny eyes and then nodded. The attitude was, “Let’s see how you come out.”

“thank you.”

I set my sword aside and imitated the stance of the Tekkens.

It was the first time in my life that I learned martial arts. Even before returning, I had never learned martial arts. Fighting with the sword out of your hand? It’s not easy to imagine.

The eyes of the Tekkens passing by me were full of surprise.

Since the expert of the Heavenly Demon came forward to learn martial arts with them, there would be no need to have a drink with them this evening.

The horse did not teach me anything.

I followed the movements of the Tekkens. This martial art taught by dozens of people cannot possibly be the unique martial art of an undefeated martial arts demon. This may be the basic martial arts learned by martial artists of the Dong-Kwon Order.

Rather good. Because I know better than anyone else that the martial art that destroys Mount Tai begins with this basic movement.

I made the right moves.

I watched their training for several days, and most importantly, dozens of people were doing the same posture right in front of my eyes.

Even if someone took a wrong posture, there were more people who took the correct posture. Thanks to this, I was able to assume the correct posture.

After the first day of training, everyone quietly dispersed. I left there as if I was one of them.

I participated in the training the next day as well.

The Tekkens of the Eastern Fist Gate were divided into four categories according to their skills.

White Kwon (White Kwon) wearing a white military uniform, Blue Kwon (??) wearing a blue military uniform, Red Kwon (??) wearing a red military uniform, and Heuk Kwon (??) wearing a black military uniform.

The people I am with now are Baekwon, wearing white military uniforms. Of course, one hundred volumes should not be ignored. The fact that he was able to enter through the Donggwon Gate meant that he was no stranger to military service.

Was it a waste of time because it was training with a hundred people? No way? Rather, it was better because I was able to solidify my skills from the basics.

My martial arts level was one where I could anticipate dozens of changes from just one small movement.

From the basic movement of throwing out a fist, dozens of situations came to mind and changes were anticipated. The Pungsinsabo and the Chosik that I am currently unfolding merged together in my head. Since it was a Poongsinsabo that was wonderfully combined with the Bicheongeombeop, it was naturally in fantastic harmony with the martial arts.

I was engrossed in martial arts training, but the martial arts demon still didn’t seem to believe in me. I could read it in his expression.

Even so, will you be able to leave for a month? Will you stay out for a year?

Because he had these thoughts, he just gave me a funny look.

But the opponent was me. I also asked a question the next day.

“I have a question!”

Everyone was startled by my shout. Now that I think about it, I have never seen anyone ask questions during training. They just took the posture they were told to do.

So I guess I’m probably the first to ask this question.

The horse was equally surprised. You probably never thought I would ask a question.

“How much freedom is allowed for the left foot when rotating the right foot in this back-and-forth appearance (????)?”

Everyone had their left foot completely fixed, but I thought it would be more effective to move it slightly.

I felt a commotion around me. Can I do this? How dare you ask a question? How will Gwonma come out? Could it be that we are all falling for no reason? I felt these arrogant emotions.

But unexpectedly, Gwonma answered the question without any hesitation.

“If your body doesn’t shake when you turn the last turn, you don’t have to restrict your left foot.”

In response to Gwonma’s clear answer, I tried to exercise herbivory as he instructed.

The left foot moved to the point where it lifted slightly, but that was in order to link up the next herbivore as quickly as possible. Now I’m practicing by cutting off each movement, but in practice, continuous movement was important.

For the first time, the eyes of the Tekkens turned to me. They didn’t know yet. What they are seeing now is not a change in herbivory. It is a change in the practice of Dong Kwon Gate that has been established for a long time.

I visited the training center the next day and the day after that.

I didn’t intentionally ask questions for the sake of asking questions. I just asked questions that I was really curious about, and when I asked questions, the Tekkens listened. It was also like I was asking questions on their behalf that they themselves were curious about but did not dare to ask. After training, I had Tekkens greeting me.

After five days, I was able to use the Tekken technique with the most proper posture among those who were learning martial arts there. There were even people who asked me how to do the movements when they finished training.

It was the seventh day.

Even though formal training was over, I remained alone and continued training. I was falling into a new world led by martial arts. Regardless of the current situation, learning martial arts itself was fun.

I felt that the horse was watching me, but I paid no attention and focused on herbivory. I only focused on my outstretched fist.

What must be loaded into this fist to collapse the cliff?

Eventually, Gwonma, who was watching, opened his mouth.

“What are we going to do?”

“Didn’t you tell Master Kwon that you wanted to learn martial arts?”

“Do you really want to become my disciple?”

“If you accept it.”

Gwonma was startled. This is because the son of the Heavenly Demon has never become a disciple of the Majon.

“Are you serious?”

“Yes, I am serious. “I already got permission from my father.”

“The religious leader gave permission?”

“You did it.”

It was the moment when Gwonma realized that my determination was no joke.

“Do you know what kind of person I am and do this?”

“I don’t know. However, the moment you said that your goal is to collapse the cliff, I think I fell in love with you.”

Half sincerity and half flattery were being displayed.

“Do you think that kind of modification will work? If this is the case, do you think I will support you as my successor?”

“It’s okay if you don’t. No, don’t do it. I don’t know if you’ve heard the rumors, but my goal is to complete this successor selection without bloodshed between brothers. So, I feel reassured that my brother has Madam Kwon. “Madam Kwon will prevent my brother from crossing the line.”

“Why do you think I’m stopping you?”

“Because you are the one trying to collapse a cliff with your bare fists. “You will know very well that the moment a dirty plot or scheme is grasped in your fist, you will never be able to collapse the cliff.”

“!”

“I think the only person who can beat up my brother or me who is going crazy over the heir dispute is Madam Kwon. If my brother and I try to cross the line, please stop us. “Please hit me mercilessly with that fist.”

I did not avoid those disapproving and harsh gazes directed at me. Are you crazy about martial arts? If I’m crazy about something and only pursue one path, I’m probably just as good as you.

Next moment!

The horse’s big fist was in front of my face.

I threw my fist out so quickly, but there wasn’t even a sound of wind. The fist was in front of the face, as if the fist had been here in the first place.

The next thing that came out was the sound.

Huaaaaaaaa!

I thought I could hear a huge wind noise coming from behind.

Wow!

There was a large hole in the fence far behind me.

Surprisingly, my face was left intact when the fist stopped, and the back was completely blown away. It was truly an amazing and noble technique.

The horse stared coldly at me, not even blinking at the fist that flew at me, and then turned around and walked away without saying a word.

I stood there and looked at the back of me walking away.

The more you are like this, the more intensely the flame in my heart will burn.

The horse stopped at the end of the road.

“Starting tomorrow, come to the Cheongquan training center.”
