<Aaron Side Story Episode 21>
3. First Dream (5)
Silence ensues.
The eyes of the two crossed for a long time.
“Can I help you?”
said Sraagin in a low pitched voice.
“You’re not saying we’re going to have a normal sparring?”
“exactly.”
In sparring, both sides gain points.
But what Aaron asked for was teaching.
It was a one-sided loss to Sraagin.
In other words, Aaron asked Sraagin to split his time and help.
“I know you have no shame.”
Aaron doesn’t have much.
At most, a decrepit body with no talent.
In fact, judging from the difference in level, Sraagin doesn’t gain much from sparring.
The deal between the two wasn’t fair.
Even if it looks servile.
Even if you crawl through mud.
Be strong.
“This is true. That’s all you say when you show up after a month?”
Is it not okay too?
then… … .
“I get it.”
“… … ?”
“It sounds like a good way to pass the time. I’ll help you if you’re bored.”
“I-really?”
“Well, it is necessary anyway. Defeating only scarecrows is not efficient. It’s no fun.”
Aaron bowed his head to Thragin.
“Okay. thank you!”
“You don’t have to thank me. It’s not like I’m losing anything.”
Sraagin’s words continued.
“Look, you and I came here by bumping into a wall, right? But if you break the wall right here, I’ll be proof that it’s possible. You can even press that cheeky kid’s nose.”
If you cross your limits,
That man named Thragin also gains confidence in his potential.
It was such a deal.
“So, work hard. mortally.”
Sraagin smirked at Aaron.
Aaron nodded.
“So, how can I help you?”
“Do you know about spearmanship?”
“The spear is my secondary weapon. Even if it’s not as good as the sword, I’ve mastered it to some extent.”
“I want you to know about Rannachal.”
Sraagin looked Aaron up and down.
He knew at least that Aaron would stay in his room all day studying martial arts.
“Is it difficult to put into practice even if you know from the book?”
“Yes, yes.”
“Give me the spear you held.”
Aaron handed over the practice wooden spear he was holding.
Unexpectedly, he receives the object that came flying behind him.
It was Thragin’s sword.
“Attack me.”
“Isn’t this for practice?”
It is a blue-edged iron sword.
It was a weapon that killed people.
“You said you wanted to know about Rannachal?”
“that… … It is.”
“No need to worry. do come Because time is wasted.”
Aaron changed his expression.
Yes, no need to hesitate.
‘Let’s see. Is this the hilt?’
He grabs the sword with a twist.
Moved both shoulders and feet to take a stance.
This was the attitude that Israt had taken in his memory.
Of course, it didn’t work out.
“ha.”
As if that action seemed pitiful, Sraagin pressed his forehead.
“I will go!”

Poof!
Aaron swung his sword in a dazed position.
A sword blade stab using spearmanship.
The target was the shoulder.
“What is this?”
Moment.
The spearhead spun around and wrapped around the sword.
A strange rotational force was applied from the inside.
“… … ?”
widely!
The sword bounced off and soared into the air.
The tip of the spear touched Aaron’s left chest before he knew it.
“This is Charlie.”
“Just now, how?”
Pak!
The flying sword stuck to the ground.
Sraagin didn’t say anything.
“Bring the sword.”
“… … OK.”
Aaron retrieved the sword.
took a stand again.
“come.”
“I will go!”
This time weaving.
With all his strength, he drew the sword with all his might.
“This is me.”
Moment.
Pak!
The spearhead that came down from above pressed down on the sword.
“… … ?!”
You cannot go against the flow of power.
The direction of the sword, which had been drawn horizontally, changed arbitrarily.
posture breaks down
“Hut!”
hook!
Before I knew it, the sword was lodged in front of Thragin’s feet.
The trajectory of the horizontal beam is broken.
“It’s kicking again.”
The outstretched spear blade tapped Aaron’s forehead.
“Once more.”
“… … .”
Aaron silently pulled out the sword stuck in the ground.
started attacking again.
There are three basic movements of the sword.
cross cut. vertical cut. sting.
Imitating the swordsmanship he had seen on the surface, he drove without stopping.
“Haap!”
Aaron screamed and cut vertically.
Took.
A spear sticking out from somewhere pushed the sword away.
“hot?”
torque applied at the same time.
The sword moved against his will.
Poorly collapsing posture.
The tip of the wooden spear hits the left chest.
It was a sign of death.
‘again.’
This time stabbing.
The spearhead rising from below wrapped around the blade of the sword.
Snake-like movement.
‘I can’t shake it off!’
It’s as if they’re glued together.
The blade of the sword was sucked out as the spear pole moved.
Aaron’s stance was out of balance.
‘come.’
Took.
The tip of the spear struck his left chest.
‘again!’
Attacked over and over again.
Cutting while running, cutting upward from a low position, cutting diagonally, and stabbing.
Attack until you can no longer move.
result… … .
“ha… … ha… … .”
Aaron collapsed and caught his breath.
I tried to stand up, but my broken body didn’t listen to my command.
“This is all I can show you.”
“Whoa… … .”
Get your breathing right.
There were many things I wanted to ask.
“Rannachal is the basis and core of the spear. A unique skill that only spears can use.”
“… … .”
“Lie down and listen.”
said Thragin.
“The spear has a long range. It has absolute priority. Whether attacking or defending, you can move one step ahead of your opponent. Rannachal is a control technique that dominates a battlefield that is longer and wider than the opponent.”
to dominate the battlefield.
It was also written in the book of spears.
Aaron came to understand a little of what the words meant.
“Receive the opponent’s moves from a distance. That’s how you break your stance. This is Ran and me. Next, stab the incapacitated opponent to subdue him. this is full That is, take and stab. Is it easy?”
Sraagin erected a long spear pole.
“Breaking the posture is the key. Then you won’t be able to avoid the stab that follows.”
“how… … Are you going to break it?”
“You saw it, just now.”
Aaron frowned.
have seen I’ve experienced it countless times.
The jokjok that holds the posture collapsed and was broken.
but.
‘how?’
Aaron’s face hardened.
Sraagin patted the back of his neck.
This is the part that is hard to describe in words.
It was a content that required the user’s delicate senses.
“First of all, the basics are to create rotational force by turning the spearhead.”
Sraagin grabbed the spear pole.
Then, holding the spear horizontally, he slowly began to turn it.
“Using this rotational force, it deflects, deflects, pushes, and pulls the opponent’s weapon. You can stab it after that.”
“that… … I see.”
“Of course, simply turning the spear does not create rotational force. Engages the muscles and bones of the whole body to amplify strength. Start with your toes.”
Sraagin fixed the spear.
Then, he pressed the tip of the spear stick close to his waist and twisted the spear rod with his feet.
phut!
A sound like the air breaking.
The spear pole roared and bent in all directions.
“If you do that… … .”
I let go of the spear pole that Sraagin was holding.
The wooden spear, protruding into the air, soon began to rotate on the floor.
Wedge liquid!
The spear pole moved so violently that the soil on the floor was scattered here and there.
Aaron just watched the scene with his mouth open.
An elongated bar over 2m.
It draws a circle on the floor and rotates like a whirlpool.
It was an unacceptable sight to his common sense.
“If you train this spinning spear technique to the limit, it will become a spiral spear.”
Farr.
The spearhead, which lost its rotational power, slowed its movement, and eventually collapsed to the ground.
“I think you know. Why did the weapon bounce off every foot it touched?”
In the book of spears, the metaphor of a typhoon appeared especially frequently.
I couldn’t understand it at the time.
I seemed to know now.
It is a metaphor for this movement of the window.
With that kind of power, it should be able to push and repel everything.
‘Is it the same with pulling?’
Typhoon if rotated outward.
On the other hand, if it rotates inward, it can suck up anything.
That is the abyss that the book of spears was likened to.
‘Ran, Na, Char.’
A pushing typhoon.
that’s what it is
A swamp from which there is no escape.
that’s me
A flash of lightning in the next moment.
it fills
If you’re just stabbing from a distance, there are limits.
However, if you stab after crushing the opponent’s defense and attack, no one will be able to take it.
‘Is this spearmanship?’
It felt like opening my eyes.
A refreshing feeling as unknown concepts are reorganized in your head.
But there was a problem.
Understanding and doing it directly were the difference between heaven and earth.
“Where do you go?”
Aaron stood up.
I received the spearhead from Sraagin.
“It’s creating rotational force.”
“Okay.”
Hold the window sill firmly.
left hand forward. right hand back.
He held out the spear with his knees lightly bent.
I started slowly turning the window clockwise.
“… … .”
Thragin’s eyes narrowed.
“It is not turning. It rotates.”
“… … What difference does it make?”
“You just saw it.”
It was.
Right now, Aaron is just turning the spear with his own power.
It is not ‘rotating’.
If I let go of the window sill here, it just falls off.
Even if I let go of the spear, I was not given enough rotational force to draw a spiral with my own power.
“You’re a beginner, so you can’t do that much. But, if you force yourself to move like that, you can’t do it.”
“… … I will try.”
don’t force it to move.
Let it move naturally.
Aaron tried to follow the order.
Silently, time passes.
how long has it been
By the time sweat started to form on Aaron’s forehead.
Sraagin said flatly.
“You don’t know how to create power, do you?”
“how to make?”
“The stab is quite sharp.”
I don’t know what Sraagin was questioning.
Aaron decided to be honest.
“I just practiced the set moves.”
“You mean you just randomly memorized the order of movements and postures?”
“exactly.”
An emotion flashed in Thragin’s eyes.
“So, if you’re not in the right posture, you’re saying you can’t stab properly?”
“… … .”
“You memorized formulas without knowing the principles?”
I don’t know the principle of stabbing.
I just had to memorize the formula.
‘is it.’
That might be right.
Aaron is just practicing the standard stabbing posture indefinitely.
why do you have to be like that
I didn’t know why I had to hold the spear like that, breathe like that, or step like that.
“indeed. It was like telling a guy who couldn’t even walk to run.”
“… … .”
“Chang, give it back.”
Aaron obediently held out his spear.
“Look what I’m doing from now on.”
Sraagin fixed the spear.
Suddenly.
phut!
A hole was punched in the head of the scarecrow, who was far away.
“Can you?”
“Just now… … .”
Aaron stood upright.
“again.”
Sraagin put his left arm behind his back.
The state of holding the spear pole with only the right hand.
I didn’t even position myself properly.
It’s just that the spear is hanging down while standing upright.
in that situation.
phut!
The tip of the spear plunged sharply into the scarecrow’s heart.
“This?”
“how… … Did you?”
It was a stab.
It was a sharp and piercing stab that could be called an example of spearmanship.
The problem isn’t that.
‘Left arm behind your back, one right hand, standing still?’
Posture was messed up.
Not much of a mess.
It wasn’t even looked at.
It is absolutely impossible for Aaron.
To him, the thrust was a blow that was delivered after making a precise and perfect posture.
Like that, it wasn’t a flying attack without any rules or order.
“It seems that he just memorized his posture without knowing how to create strength or the principle of stabbing.”
“… … .”
“I’ll take care of this. It’s the same as trying to cook without knowing what sugar and salt are.”
Sraagin let out a long sigh.
Soon, a voice leaked out, not knowing whether it was talking to himself or lamenting.
“Usually, if you memorize the formula, you will know the principle. Are you saying that your senses are dull?”
“Is it that serious?”
Thragin was lost in thought, his arms crossed.
It was a sight that Aaron’s voice couldn’t reach.
“If you’ve mastered stabbing that much, you wouldn’t know. If so, is there a lack of innate sense? Is it the same as a guy who wants to cook can’t taste the taste? Umm… … .”
Thragin’s self-talk pierced Aaron’s heart like a needle.
I didn’t know the exact meaning, but I knew it was part of his talent.
“… … .”
He was well aware that his talent was inferior.
However, if it was enough to give the person who taught me that kind of trouble, I could also see that the lack of it was not ordinary.
so that.
“It’s useless.”
The sudden boy’s words.
Aaron didn’t immediately respond.
“What you are doing is all in vain.”
right after.
The boy who appeared without a sign smiled brightly.
