Sword Emperor Reincarnated as a Sword Master (5)
It was a few days later.
There was no day that could be called a holiday in the daily routine of the Cardenas Training Center. On occasions such as National Foundation Day, there were times when bards or musical groups were invited and children were invited to watch them.
As usual, the children who were practicing basic swordsmanship until the sun rose in the sky chatted without the instructor knowing.
If I got caught even once, I would have been very apprehensive, but today my mouth was so itchy that it was difficult to hold back.
“Hey, did you hear that?”
“Number 381? No, it was number 98?”
“Yeah, that guy anyway. “I heard it’s already gone up to number 25?”
“What?!”
When the child who was pretending to swing a sword twitched his shoulders in surprise at those words, the child who was whispering also spoke in surprise.
“Hey, what are you doing! “If we get caught like this, we’ll both die!”
“Sorry sorry. “I was so surprised.”
The child apologized with a shy smile and asked again.
“Tell me a little more. It went from number 381 to number 25? “Wasn’t it only six days ago that you were taken to the medical room?”
The child who started the story first agreed.
“that’s right. “It went up to number 25 in less than a week.”
“Oh, that’s ridiculous.”
When he showed signs of disbelief, the child who came to tell him the rumor became even more enthusiastic and presented his testimony.
“Is it true? I even asked the people who got hit, and they said they didn’t even use a wooden sword, they just hit them with their bare fists. “He fainted from one hit.”
“Isn’t that a lie? “I feel embarrassed about what happened.”
“It may be true for one or two people, but if there are more than 10 people, it would be true. “I heard he said the same thing 25 times, and now 26 times.”
“No. 381 was that strong? I had no idea. “But why doesn’t he show up during training?”
A child who was listening to the two next to them intervened.
“I heard you said you could miss training for a week because of your injury last time?”
“what? really?”
“So that injured guy went around beating up kids?”
Soon, the three people were curious about who came first.
“Where on earth is number 381, or rather number 25?”
“Well, that’s it?”
* * *
It wasn’t even possible to go that far.
Leonard, now number 25, was sweating in the training room, which all the trainees gathered at the training ground were curious about.
I knew that basic swordsmanship training was taking place during this time, so I came to take advantage of it.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
A metal ball moving at a constant tempo swings from side to side like a pendulum.
Although it weighed a whopping 50kg, Leonard’s forearms easily withstood the inertia, repeatedly raising and lowering the veins.
It was an amazing sight to see rope-like, delicate muscles sprouting from the 14-year-old boy’s small back.
“Whoa… ! Phew… ! after… !”
As soon as Leonard’s breathing stopped, he relaxed his grip and dropped the metal ball he had been pulling and releasing.
It is better to take a moment to catch your breath than to lose your balance by training with a sloppy posture. Obsessing over weight or number of repetitions was tantamount to forgetting its essence.
As he was wiping the sweat from his forehead with a towel, he noticed that the towel was all wet and soaked.
‘How long has it been since I sweated like this?’
Once you reach the flowering stage and rebuild your body through the transformation of the bone and bone, from then on there will be no change whether you train external energy or not.
This was because he built and maintained the most perfect body based on the martial arts skills he had accumulated throughout his life.
Geomje Yeon Moo-hyeok had only trained a little bit of external power, including Confucianism, before that, but after reaching the Hwagyeong, he devoted himself to swinging a sword and refining his internal power.
“Well, it’s not bad.”
This burning sensation, my muscles and lungs screaming, was a sensation I had long forgotten about, like the taste of food.
Moreover, there was something else different from my previous life.
The mind that has reached the state of harmony can control the body perfectly, and with the addition of Confucianism, it has become possible to do several things that Yeon Moo-hyeok could not do in his previous life.
Squeezing out strength while delicately tuning each muscle was one of them.
‘If things continue like this, it will take two years, or a little over a year, to reach the level of flexibility-freeness. ‘It’s a ridiculous growth rate.’
Leonard himself was almost intoxicated by his own growth.
‘The problem starts tomorrow again.’
After defeating all the guys from the three factions, there were no more guys coming after the 25th one I dealt with last.
He may have been in the three digits, but he defeated No. 25, who was in the top two digits, with his bare hands.
They must have judged it to be at least close to single digits or strong enough to rise to single digits. If a higher number comes and loses again, the prestige of that faction drops.
‘The last guy I dealt with was a bit annoying. If someone stronger than him comes, he might not be able to do it with his bare hands anymore.’
Leonard recalled the 25 oddballs he knocked down yesterday.
‘Doesn’t the body become stronger as if using a game ball? Doesn’t it reflect the applied shock? If I hadn’t shaken his brain with a light, I wouldn’t have been able to put him down in one hit.’
Unlike the three-digit trainees who simply had higher physical abilities, the double-digit trainees had special constitutions and abilities.
If you look at pure capabilities alone, it can beat even a second-rate unmanned vehicle.
“Tsk.”
Leonard looked down at his right wrist with dissatisfied eyes.
Because of his reflex ability, Jangjeo’s shock came back a little, and he was able to recover only after using the potion he received on the first day.
If it had been a real fight, and if the opponent had been a proper enemy and not a child or something, it would have been a fatal loophole.
Even though he knew that Cardenas’ bloodline was special, he let his guard down, so it was something he had to reflect on.
‘If the capabilities of the collateral lineage are this high, I have no idea how great the direct lineage will be.’
Half joking, half serious, it was possible that fire would spew out of his mouth or eyes. If he did not deal with all possibilities in mind, Geomje Yeon Moo-hyeok would have to suffer the humiliation of being defeated by a 14-year-old.

It was a situation his pride as a military man could not tolerate.
Leonard, who was thinking about tomorrow, frowned for a moment.
“I want to skip basic swordsmanship training… “Is there some way?”
Other children may not know this, but for Leonard, repeating the basics was meaningless, a waste of stamina, and a waste of time.
During that time, it would be much more meaningful to use the training room again or meditate to look back on past experiences.
The problem is that I can’t convince the instructor of that.
‘Hmm?’
It was then.
Detecting a presence entering the training room without a sound, Leonard turned his eyes in that direction.
His pupils dilated slightly when he saw the visitor.
“… … .”
Blonde golden eyes.
She was truly a beautiful girl, with hair as soft as a rich wheat field and eyes shining beneath it.
The girl with blond eyes, a characteristic symbolizing the Cárdenas lineage, faced Leonard without saying a word.
An unrealistic atmosphere, like a character in a children’s book.
‘This girl is number 2.’
Leonard said with certainty.
“Anything to do?”
“huh.”
The golden girl, number 2, nodded softly.
Then he opened his mouth again.
“Why don’t you come to me?”
“… what?”
“Why don’t you come to me? “He said.”
To Leonard, who had asked back without realizing it, she repeated what she said twice.
It was an unexpected question.
An attitude of not considering the other person’s rejection at all, as if it is natural to take one’s side. His behavior, which appears both foolish and arrogant, gives off a mysterious feeling.
But Leonard answered without much emotion.
“Because my training time is decreasing. “It only increases the number of troublesome things.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Number 2 did not deny what he said.
“Have you come to see more people than me?”
“I rejected them all. “You are the first time the captain has come.”
“Yes, then it doesn’t matter.”
Even though the conversation goes well, it feels unstable, as if it might break off at any time. Even though number 2’s speaking style is off-putting, it’s because Leonard, who deals with it, isn’t very friendly either.
‘It doesn’t look like they came to fight.’
Leonard, who could not sense any hostility from her, grabbed the handle of the road exercise equipment and started pulling the metal ball.
Number two sat quietly and watched.
Leonard, who left his conversation partner alone and began to train himself, and Number 2, who began to observe it without being offended, had an uncanny resemblance between the two.
There is no desire for, and no intention of seeking, sympathy or understanding from others.
Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.
Dense muscles, like ropes, rise again on Leonard’s forearms and back as he pulls the steel ball.
The second time, he put his lips together and mumbled, “Oh.”
“Interesting.”
Leonard, who heard that sound, asked a question.
“what.”
“He moves completely differently than I do. Even if you try, it doesn’t work. This is my first time doing something like this. “How did you do it?”
“… “You can see that?”
Leonard let go of the handle and opened his eyes wide.
I had roughly expected the second special ability.
Even though the feeling of ‘seeing’ is clear, the pupil and iris are blurry like a drunk person, and the cognitive range is such that there are no gaps. If we guess from those clues, it is clearly an ability that involves vision.
Even so, would you look into someone else’s body?
“uh? I can’t see it anymore. “Did you do it?”
Number 2 was the first to roll her eyes and look at him.
Her face, which had been expressionless like a doll, became lively and lively.
However, Leonard analyzed the opponent’s abilities without confirming or denying the words.
‘The mind’s eye is limited to the area around the body, and clairvoyance has been added.’
If you are an expert who knows how to manipulate imagery, you can block it with mental power, but if you also develop skill 2, the result is unknown.
It is a literal superpower.
Even if you only have a little bit of martial arts knowledge, you can kill even an expert several levels higher than you with those eyes. He is like a natural enemy to an assassin, and is not fooled even in a direct confrontation. Learning or mastering martial arts would also be quick. You will be able to look into the body of an expert and even steal their tricks.
‘If old monsters without disciples see it, their eyes will turn upside down. Even I, who have no interest in martial arts tradition, want to teach it.’
When Leonard remained silent, Number 2 interrogated him while pulling the hem of his clothes.
“Right? You did it, right? “Can you see it too?”
“see. “It may be a little different from you, though.”
Geomje’s insight was superior to her mind’s eyes, which had not yet matured. If you open the Sangdanjeon even once, you can see the ‘mind’, and because it reads the other person’s will, it is faster and more accurate than looking into muscles or nerves.
To stop it, only an expert of the same level and at the level of Harmony Sutra could do it.
‘But if this kid grows up to Hwakyung, it’s scarier that I don’t know how his abilities will evolve.’
What if you get closer to the state of Heavenly Vision, which is one of the physical powers that has been passed down as the ability to see into the future?
‘That would be fun.’
A beast-like smile passed across Leonard’s lips.
It was that moment.
“Ha, I wonder if someone is a man. “Is she possessed by that bitch?”
Unlike number 2, a presence with such a strong presence that even those with dull senses could not help but recognize it entered the training room.
Blonde eyes.
Like the girl, he was a direct descendant of Cardenas, a boy with a power that matched his arrogance. He growled like a lion and looked down on everyone, even blatantly.
If number 2’s atmosphere is clouds, the boy’s atmosphere is the sun.
It was not like the sun shining warmly on the plants, but like the light of the sun drying out the rice fields due to drought.
“… no. 1.”
Number 2 took his eyes off Leonard and turned around with a frown on his face.
Even if she didn’t say it, her identity was clear.
He is the strongest of the current jockeys and the leader of the trainees who have been visiting Leonard since the day after he was discharged from the hospital.
Eyes burning like fireworks were turned towards him.
Leonard turned to face it.
and.
Squeak, squeak, squeak.
I started pulling the exercise equipment after stopping for a moment to talk to number 2.
Number 1 was dumbfounded when he saw that, and then shouted.
“Number 25—!”
Leonard, who didn’t even look in that direction, answered.
“Why are you calling me?”
“profit!”
“Ahahahahaha!”
Number 1, who couldn’t control his temper and was speechless, and Number 2, who burst out laughing at Leonard’s grumpy attitude, rolled around on the floor.
It was a sight that was difficult for anyone to understand.
