Absolute Regression

Chapter 192

Episode 192: The fun of playing a joke.

The next day, after completing the black fist training, I caught up with the fighting horse.

“Why don’t you eat with me today?”

Gwonma always ate alone. Other mazons would be no different, but Gwonma sometimes did not even eat with his subordinates at all.

“That’s it.”

“Why are you doing that?”

“Because it’s uncomfortable.”

“If I’m uncomfortable, I’m uncomfortable. Madam Kwon is uncomfortable? Who in the world would believe that?”

“I feel uncomfortable with you.”

Gwonma walked away first. Kwon-ma said that he felt uncomfortable even though there were subordinates around him, and Nana and Tekken, who followed up with Kwon-ma to eat, looked at us with surprised faces.

Of course, there is no giving up. I followed up with Gwonma the next day as well.

“Then how about some tea today?”

“You don’t like tea.”

“Drinking a lot of tea is good for your health.”

Gwonma stopped walking.

“Why are you doing this? “Do you want to poison that car?”

“Is that possible? “If you drink poison, you won’t be able to learn the next phrase, right?”

“yes. “If you learn everything, you will be poisoned.”

“You misunderstand.”

Despite my shouts, the horse walked away with great strides.

The next day, when training was over, we caught up again.

“Do you know how to play baduk?”

“I don’t know. What is the company manager doing with that small stone? “It’s not a girls’ house game.”

“My father is really into that house game these days.”

“….”

Gwonma walked away without looking back. Perhaps because of my father’s story, I walked faster than the day before.

The next day and the day after that, the horse was impregnable.

It wasn’t easy like this.

Although he succeeded in dipping the horse into a boiling cauldron, this large and strong opponent has no intention of becoming mushy. Even if you want to boil it, you don’t boil it.

One person comes to mind when I feel frustrated like this.

I headed straight to Namdojong, where the Hyeolcheon Doma was located.

* * *

Hyeolcheon Doma was teaching martial arts to Seo Dae-ryong.

Seo Dae-ryong, who had now become an official disciple, was learning the Dokmun Martial Arts Destruction Demon Scheme from Hyeolcheon Doma.

So as not to disturb my training, I went to the backyard, quietly closed my eyes, sat cross-legged, and practiced the Heavenly Demon Defense God Ball.

Bicheon Geombeop achieved great success with the Twelve Stars, and Pungsin Sabo also achieved great success. Among the martial arts he learned, the martial arts that he must achieve greatness was Cheonma Defense.

While I was training for a while, I heard Seo Dae-ryong’s cautious voice from afar.

“Training is over.”

I told you quietly because I was afraid it might interfere with my training.

When I opened my eyes, Seo Dae-ryong sat down next to me, drenched in sweat.

“Is it difficult?”

“I’m going to die.”

Seo Dae-ryong, who has begun training in earnest, seems to have gone through a series of hellish training.

“Don’t tell me. Our inspector is having a hard time. “Please be gentle.”

“sure. “There are many ways to kill people.”

I quietly looked at Seo Dae-ryong’s profile.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“It’s changed. the feeling is.”

“how?”

“You look strong.”

With that one word, Seo Dae-ryong’s mood immediately improved. Seo Dae-ryong clenched his fists.

“wait!”

“You wicked people! No, women! “I guess?”

“Did you get a ticket?”

“Cheer up, right arm! If you don’t have time to grind like this, you will be killed by a wicked person and kicked by a woman.”

“What if it’s still cold even after I replace it?”

Seo Dae-ryong’s deer eyes expected ‘that can’t be possible’.

“Then let’s catch at least one more villain. ah! “The world’s wicked people may dry up.”

“no! “Is it like this?”

I laughed out loud and Seo Dae-ryong laughed along with me.

He got up and said goodbye.

“Then I’ll see you tomorrow. Oh, and please say it again when you say you look strong! “Every time I have a hard time.”

“OK.”

When I sent him away and went to the front yard, I saw Hyeolcheon Doma sitting against the Myeolcheon Daedo and wiping his sweat.

“Why did you come when you were busy punching? Are you sick of it already?”

“yes. I’m sick of it. “I regret why I decided to learn boxing instead of just going out to play with my elders.”

“I heard someone will play with you?”

I went next to the Hyeolcheon cutting board and sat down next to each other.

“No matter how much I fire it, it doesn’t seem to cook.”

“I’m trying to cook a rock. Do you think it will cook?”

“That’s why I went to visit the old man.”

“Would you like to try putting some old ginger in boiling water?”

“This is why I like the elderly. “If you pretend, you pretend.”

“What do you want to get from Gwonma? Is it his martial arts skills? Or is it your heart?”

“At first it was martial arts.”

“Do you want to win my heart now?”

“They wanted to tear down the cliff. At first, it was so cool that I wanted to tear it down too. But now I’m curious why Gwonma wants to collapse the cliff so much.”

“If you find out, it’s probably not a big reason.”

“Everyone is like that, right? “Me too.”

Hyeolcheon Doma looked at me like he was looking at an old child.

“I’m sorry you came all the way here, but I don’t know much about fighting.”

“it’s okay. “I just came here to see my elders because I was feeling stuffy.”

Spicy ginger was used for healing, not cooking.

“Look here, Mr. Lee.”

“Yes, old man.”

“Are you okay?”

“!”

Hyeolcheondoma asks me.

Are you okay?

If someone else had asked, I would have said it was okay, but I didn’t want to do that to Hyeolcheondoma.

“I do not know.”

“It’s more dangerous to say you don’t know than to say it’s not okay. “If you’re tired, take a rest.”

It was a moment when I felt once again that Hyeolcheondoma was truly worried about me. These days, I feel disarmed in front of him. I tried so hard to open his door, but maybe my door opened wide first.

“Then can I lean on you for a bit?”

“It doesn’t work. “I saw that you were saying something stupid. You were fine. You were fine.”

“Just once. “For a long time, I really wanted to look forward to it just once.”

When I insisted, Hyeolcheon Doma eventually allowed it, pretending that he couldn’t win.

“Then it’s just one time.”

I leaned on the Great Path of Destruction.

“ah! “Now I understand why you leaned in here like this.”

“Does it feel like something strong is protecting me?”

“no. “It’s so refreshing.”

There was a primal chill that the Great Dao of Destruction possessed.

“You stayed cool all by yourself on that hot summer day!”

Hyeolcheondoma probably didn’t know that he was going to criticize me like this and laughed and said, “You idiot.”

After joking around with Seo Dae-ryong and laughing like this with Hyeolcheon Doma, a lot of my frustration was relieved. And I also got a great healing method.

“I will rest when I am tired.”

“Come anytime when you’re having a hard time.”

The word “anytime” pierces my heart.

“How would I live without you?”

“I guess I’ll just live a good life, punching and fighting. Stop whining and go back. “I need to do some late-night training or something.”

“no. “There are no secrets in the Demonic Cult.”

Hyeolcheondoma, holding a sword, entered the house and said.

“Who do you resemble with a mouth like that?”

* * *

I accepted Hyeolcheon Doma’s advice.

I didn’t go to the black fist training the next day. At that time, when the training was in full swing, I was in the world of time-space illusion.

A blue sky and sea that resemble my river, a sunny sandy beach, and the shade of trees with wide leaves. Even a cool mat. I was lying comfortably in the world.

Today was a fun day.

After returning from the Murim Alliance, I was entangled with the horse and could not rest for a single moment.

So today I plan to spend some time alone. I decided not to think about anyone else.

It was truly a perfect hangout, with drinks and snacks and books to read.

I looked at the sky, then at the sea, and then saw a crab crawling on the sand. I dozed off while reading a book, then woke up and stared blankly at the sea again.

“ah! good night!”

It was good, too good.

I was like that all day long.

That afternoon, a person came to my residence. She was Cheon So-hee.

“Death penalty.”

It’s cute that she calls him Lee Gong-ja in front of a knight, but calls him Sang-sang when they’re alone.

“Where have you been?”

I saw her looking into my room through the window. He must have been worried because he suddenly stopped going to black fist training every day without fail.

After wandering around the yard for a while, she left the residence.

It was quite expected that she came. After a while, a completely unexpected person came to visit me. Although it wasn’t exactly a visit, it was someone who passed by.

Surprisingly, he was a horseman. He passed by my residence as if he were passing by my house on some other business. As he passed by, his eyes glanced towards my residence. He passed by, raising his flag and checking to see if I was home.

It was so funny to pass by without knowing, and at the same time, it was touching.

I really wanted to solve the time-space illusion and run away. I wanted to see him embarrassed, asking if he came because he was worried about me. But it didn’t happen.

You people, know that I am precious!

I rolled around until late at night, filled my inner energy with meditation, and then rolled around again. It seemed like an insignificant day, but it was a valuable recharge time for me.

So it was time for late-night training.

The three arrived on time, and as soon as they arrived, Sohee Cheon asked me.

“Why didn’t you come to the Black Fist training today?”

Ian was surprised to hear that I didn’t go to the training.

“young master! where does it hurt? “How hurt!”

“Why are you making such a fuss?”

“There is no way you can miss training, right? what? What happen?”

“I am also human. “There are times when I want to fool around and times when I want to rest.”

Then he looked at Gwonma.

“Isn’t that right?”

Gwonma looked at me for a moment and then shook his head.

“I have never done that.”

“really?”

“If I had lived such a lazy life, there would have been someone else in the place where I am the winner.”

“Aren’t you tired?”

“at all.”

I know. What actually makes people difficult is not that the work is difficult, but that no one recognizes the difficulty, and even if they do, they ignore it.

“If you’re having a hard time, come play with me! “I’m always ready.”

Of course, Gwonma didn’t even pretend to listen.

At the end of that day’s training.

Hehehe!

An unfamiliar sound of wind was heard in my fist. It wasn’t the sound of thunder, but it wasn’t the sound of a fist either.

“What does this mean?”

At my question, Gwonma looked at me with a surprised face.

“It is the sound of rain and wind rushing in.”

It meant that it wouldn’t be long until the thunder struck.

At my unbelievable quick achievement, enthusiasm rose from the horse’s entire body. He looked like he wanted to jump at me at any moment.

He instinctively took a step forward and I took a step back. Ian and Cheon So-hee were also nervous about the imminent situation that seemed like a fierce battle would break out at any moment.

I quickly told him.

“Would you like to make a bet?”

“What a bet.”

“I don’t want to hit and fight, so how about light attack? “If I win, please pass on the second volume of the Byeokryeok Sura Fist.”

“What if I win?”

“I will compete with Master Kwon.”

A smile of conversion appeared on the horse’s lips.

“You must have thought I was slow because I was this big.”

The best martial arts experts have amazing footwork, and footwork is connected to Gyeonggong.

“good. “I’ll take that bet.”

Gwonma was confident. He was confident in his light attack to the point where he confidently placed the first prize in German martial arts.

“To the entrance of Magachon. How is it?”

“It’s not a good place to dance there. If you go about 10 miles further from the entrance, you will reach a bamboo forest. “Let’s stop there.”

In the horse’s mind, the bet has already been won.

Ian drew a line on the floor and we lined up side by side.

“Ready to go!”

The two of us shot out like arrows fired at the same time. I can imagine how surprised the two women must have been to see us disappearing from sight in an instant.

The winning horse was really fast. I’m sure it’s the fastest among the Amazons. Maybe that’s why I accepted the bet, but it couldn’t be faster than my speed walk.

I ran at a close pace with him. The horse’s surprise is conveyed through his heavy breathing.

I arrived at the bamboo forest a few steps ahead. I gasped and acted like I had barely won. The horse that arrived soon after looked at me with a surprised face. I guess he didn’t know that I was faster than him.

“First, teach me the second power, and if it feels unfair, you can teach me the third power and do it again.”

I was really scared because the horse’s scary face had a scary expression. But scary is scary. He was not one to break his promises.

“good. “I will be passing on the Jay Kwon here.”

I was secretly surprised by his decision without hesitation. He was truly the most manly man among men.

It is too valuable a martial art to be given away as a light attack bet. How is Gwonma feeling now? Did you really not think that you might lose in the first place? I was curious about his intentions.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you going to lure me into a trap and ask me if I’m okay?”

Aren’t you aware of that trap and fell into it?

The second level, Byeokryuk Sura (????)

If the first level, Black Cloud Sura, was to focus all of its strength on one opponent and hit it, Byeokryuk Sura was an herbivore that threw punches so fast that they were invisible to the eye. In terms of the Bicheon sword method, which emphasizes speed rather than power, it was the same as the Changcheon style, which is a quick sword method.

The horse taught me the techniques and posture.

I used up all my strength to make every single one of his teachings my own.

Just like that, the second fist of the horse became mine.

“thank you. “This fist will never be misused.”

I bowed to him. Although he has not yet become a priest, he has received the second volume.

“Well then, since you’ve already come out here, let’s go back in and get some fresh air.”

Gwonma looked at me with an expression that asked what I meant.

“It’s been quite a while since you left school, right? I was so happy that I skipped training yesterday and had fun. “Madam Kwon, please play around with me too.”

Kwon Ma snorted as if it was no big deal and walked towards the main school. I said, looking at that big, thick back.

“Everyone doesn’t know how precious you are, Madam Kwon, because you go out like that every day.”

The horse stopped walking.

“Madam Kwon’s kindness to our school has continued for too long.”

He did not express it as a favor toward his subordinates. This is because he did not want to disparage the subordinates’ fear of Gwonma or the Gwonma’s affection for them.

The horse turned towards me.

Our gazes intertwined in the air. For a long time we didn’t say anything. He was a smart guy and understood what I said.

“You look tired.”

This is the second time I say this to him. Did those words make sense?

After a moment, Gwonma asked.

“Is there somewhere to go?”

I said with a big smile.

“The beauty of fooling around is having no plan. Let’s go.”

Before he changed his mind, I started running and the horse ran with me.

We ran at similar speeds. I caught a glimpse of his face as he ran next to me. A kind of joy that I have never seen before.

So in an instant, we became distant from the school and from our daily lives.
