Chapter 123 (2/2)

—What? You think a hero is any different? We’re all just humans at the end of the day Why can’t we also make a scene and play around? Is there a rule that says we need to always be serious?

Chi-Woo agreed with these words soed

On the other hand, Eshnunna seeain “I sincerely apologize I’ve only wasted your ti,a wrench into the situation

Chi-Woo gave the bea to Eshnunna, “It’s all right”

“But even then…”

“Honestly, I was going to come and find you soon”

“Really? Why?”

Since he ended up seeing her, Chi-Woo used this opportunity to tell her what had been on his mind

The next day, Chi-Woo sent a e to Ru Amuh as soon as he woke up Chi-Woo wrote that there was so he wanted to talk to hiot an i in my house, please come visit whenever it is most suitable for you]

[Ah, Ru Hiana asked ht with you?]

Chi-Woo replied that he didn’t mind and would coan running like usual Chi-Woo ran along the city walls while breathing fresh air

–Yawn

While running, Chi-Woo stole so down in the sky above hi the air as his bed Salem Philip yawned constantly and looked bored

–I’ve had the thought before, but now that I’ at it directly, the situation really is serious… Tch I shouldn’t have come out

Philip murmured to himself, and Chi-Woo’s eyes narrowed

‘Excuse me’

–Hmm? What?

‘You toldto do that?’

–Ah… Well, let’s take it easy There’s no need to be in such a hurry It’s not like you have to leave immediately

Chi-Woo had asked the question in the hopes that Saleo soht about it, he couldn’t trust Philip A person’s speech had a significant impact on whether one could trust theance of a hero Since he acted like a gangster, there was no way Chi-Woo could trust him

–And there’s no need forwell by yourself

Saler~eat Well, your posture isn’t so bad But in the first place, is there anything foris the basics It’s i is that do I have to teach you how to quickly move your two feet? It’s not like you’re a baby who just learned hoalk

Chi-Woo had no coht

–Theis persistence andelse but…ah, even then, there’s so I need to tell you

Salem Philip smacked his lips and pointed his chin at Chi-Woo when he stopped for ain theabout?’

–You kno you suddenly stop running in theyour fist

‘Why?’

–What do youpointless Why do you do it in the first place?

Why? It was because… Chi-Woo wanted to reply, but he had nothing to say Now that he thought about it, there was no specific reason He merely saw Ru Amuh do it and copied him; Chi-Woo also saw boxers on Earth do as well

–There’s nothing ~ Anyway, is your weapon your fist? I’ll respect that if that’s your style, but you know that it’s eous to use a weapon than your bare fist, right?

Chi-Woo fell into thought again at Sale to practice with a weapon later on’

–Why? Why don’t you want to learn it right now?

‘I want to first train how to use my body first’

–So yeah, why?

‘Well, let’s say that I use a sword That’s merely an extension of er’

–…Uh…

Chi-Woo repeated exactly what Ru Amuh had told him, and Salem Philip’s face looked blank

–Yeah Your body and your weapon should be one You’re right in theory, but…

Salem Philip tilted his head and looked down at Chi-Woo with an inquisitive look

–But considering your condition, won’t it be better to learn how to use a weapon a little? Like basic swordsmanshi+p Or it doesn’t have to be specifically swords

‘Do I really need to learn swordsmanshi+p?’

–What?

‘Don’t I have to just learn how to swing and pierce?’

–What did you just say?

‘A sword is just a murder weapon in the end It’s a tool you use to opti your opponent’ Chi-Woo had had a fantasy about swords to Ru A Chi-Woo recalled what Ru Amuh had told him

[In fact, I don’t know any complicated and profound swordsmanshi+p]

[I only know the , slicing, and swinging It’s the same for hand-to-hand combat]

[I did that because I kneord as a weapon to kill others and nothing more I wasn’t able to find any other purpose for it]

Chi-Woo had seen the point in Ru Aht

‘That’s why I want to learn how to fight with my body first and then, learn how to use a weapon’

Chi-Woo, who had been running for a while, blinked at Sale so , but noas quiet ‘What’s up with this dude?’ Chi-Woo was starting to wonder what Salelanced up

–Ahahahhaahah!

Then, he suddenly heard a burst of boisterous laughter

–Ahat! Uahahhhhahahhha!

Salem Philip rolled around in the air and clutched his sto his head off

“What the… Why are you laughing?’ Chi-Woo looked at him with confusion

–No-ahhah! Because!

Philip clapped his hands and laughed He continued laughing for a while and barely ed to calm down to respond to him

–Hey, tell me honestly What you just told ht?

Chi-Woo was taken aback; Saleht on the mark ‘Is that important?’

–Not really But it’s funny

‘What’s funny?’

–You punk! You don’t think it’s funny that a guy who never even properly swung a sword before is talking so much about this and that?

Chi-Woo’ face instantly flushed How did he know? ‘I just thought…it ht? Then why didn’t you keep that init like it was the sole truth?

Chi-Woo couldn’t argue with that, because in , he had completely trusted Ru Amuh’s words

–Hey, in the first place, a sword is just one of the many weapons you can use in any place It’s the sa tools, we’ve been honing techniques and methods to improve swords and our swordsmanshi+p For tens of thousands of years, hu ways to make swordsmanshi+p more sophisticated and syste studying ways to improve a technique that is worthless? Why, because everyone is fucking brainless?

While Philip laughed his head off, Chi-Woo was not able to say a single word Now that he heard it like this, Philip seeuess you’re not at fault It’s the fault of that punk who told you that He made you so full of hot air

‘…Don’t talk about hi friend’

–Oh uess you’re entitled to your feelings But let

Philip spun a full circle and landed right in front of Chi-Woo

–The friend who told you that is either one of two things

He laughed before continuing

–He’s a dahout this whole universe Or, he’s a once-in-a-lifetiain
