Chapter 257. To Become Stronger (4) (2/2)

This was news to Chi-Woo But he had heard and seen events si stories where a father safely caught his son falling fro with only a little scratch, or an old miner survived past teeks in a collapsed cave and eventually being rescued People so their lives It was like how one professional racer clai hi as a watermelon at one point

And Byeok said the reason why such is became possible was…

“The answer is posture” Since it was an i, you have to maintain the correct and optih studious research and efforts” For example, runners started their race in a contorted posture called the ‘Crouching Start’, and as soon as the race began, they sprang out to o on? You said it yourself” Having an opti the efficiency of one’s ability The snapping technique was based on the sa Byeok Ran-Eum’s explanation, Chi-Woo understood why she told hi question: how co technique but couldn’t do what she had shown him?

Byeok answered, “All you did was learn one technique But you didn’t complete it” Then she continued in a chirp, “You just did what you were told and followed a set list of instructions You acted no differently from a machine But like that, you would only be able to reach 80 mastery of the technique with constant repetition, but never able to master it completely” If one solved a probleet the hang of it and reach aprocess, they would be stuck They needed to conant

“How is it? Do you think you understand after the explanation?”

“I still…don’t knoell” Chi-Woo slowly shook his head

“Hmph, I like that you are honest” Byeok snorted like she’d expected Chi-Woo’s answer “But don’t be too down There are just people who can do it and those who can’t And there are ory” In other words, she was saying that Chi-Woo wasn’t a special case, but actually the normal one

“Anyways, if you don’t think you can do it, you should give up early on—”

But Chi-Woo interjected, “Still, I think I can do it if you let me experience the skill one more time”

Byeok’s face hardened at Chi-Woo’s unexpected response

“You think you can do it?”

“I will do it,” Chi-Woo said in a firmer voice when he saw her eyebrow rise But Byeok’s expression didn’t become any better

“You must think you are sory, Byeok Ran-Euuy who could come to a realization after a couple of words, you should’ve succeeded in your first atte, but after conversing with her for a bit, he found out that Byeok was a very realistic person But that meant he needed to prove himself even more

“Just once Just one more ti This isn’t so you can whine and insist about like when you were a child” Then she asked like she was tired of the conversation, “In the first place, is there any reason why I should go through the trouble of de this, Chi-Woo gathered his thoughts for a bit and said, “I will make sure that you don't waste your time”

Byeok’s eyes flickered for a moment It seemed her curiosity had been sparked so he was the one requesting a favor Instead, he seemed confident that he would be able to accomplish what he set out to do with one more demonstration But where did this confidence come from? She was curious, and there was the deal with Chi-Hyun’s request and her attachment to him—and above all, she was quite satisfied with Chi-Woo’s response If he had responded like onedeal when she already did it, she would’ve immediately turned around But Chi-Woo didn’t, and he knew very well the value of her time

“Good” Byeok lowered her jaw “But since I’ one more time for you, I will place a condition” Of course, she didn’t accept Chi-Woo’s offer easily “If you don’t succeed in ten attempts after I demonstrated the technique for you, I will count that as you failing Fair?” she asked

“That’s a bit…too much”

“Quit it if you aren’t confident”

“…I will do it”

Chi-Woo gritted his teeth as Byeok flicked her head around ‘So this was how she was going to play?’ he thought

“Then I will also place a condition, and if you allow it, I will accept everything”

“What?”

“If I e to succeed within ten atte as I want”

Byeok blinked hard at Chi-Woo’s firhter She already ca requested to teach Chi-Woo, if Chi-Woo did as expected of him, it wouldn't be a bad deal

“Okay, fine” Byeok surprisingly accepted the conditions and got up before walking to the backyard

“Relax and loosen up…good” After fixing Chi-Woo’s posture, she grabbed onto the hand Chi-Woo was holding the club with and pulled it doard

Spliiiit!

The sound of air splitting rang, and Chi-Woo closed his eyes He didn’t move for a while with his club lowered It was as if he was slowly savoring a feeling he just tasted How much time had passed? Chi-Woo slowly opened his eyes

“Try now” After backing away and waiting patiently, Byeok said The way she crossed her arms and smirked seemed to indicate she already expected a certain result Not long afterward, Chi-Woo raised his ar club doard The club cut through the wind, but was a h He still had nine more chances, and Chi-Woo didn’t stop He fixed his posture little by little and swung his club

Two, four, eight ti, there was a hint of disappoints would go differently; he was from his family after all

‘…But no blarown accustomed to his life on Earth for over twenty years…’ She was about to turn around when she heard the sound of his tenth swing She thought she had heard wrong for aat her with his club down
