33 Episode 12. The struggle, the conquest, the enjoyment (3)

Jed pointed his finger to their side.

There was a mountain of round-shaped iron. High tables were also seen to place the iron balls.

"Move the ironwork and the table here."

"How many do you need to move?"

Jed squeaked when Heitona asked. It was a strangely evil laugh.

"Four tables. Iron balls as much as possible."

Three people moved iron balls and tables to the center of the secret space. The iron ball was heavier than most of the longs, and something was heavy inside whenever it moved.

'What is this?'

While moving the iron balls, Jean confirmed that she had never seen this in her previous life.

It was a matter of course. The special iron fist training was only used by the direct line of descent to learn the Runkandel swordsmanship, so the camp before the return had nothing to see.

Puck, puck.

Every time an iron ball was dropped to the floor one by one, it left marks on the hard earth floor.

It was only after three men moved about fifty iron balls that Jed said were his own.

"Do you know what this iron ball is?"

said Jed, putting a steel ball on the table. The iron ball on the table was located slightly below the waist of the Jed.

"I don't know."

"This iron ball's name is Cheong Ah-seok. It's a name given to me because it makes a clear sound when you hit me."

The Tonya brothers tilted their heads. I didn't know why such stones were needed to train swordsmanship. Although he did not express his intention, he wondered how Cheonga Stone would be used.

Jed gently pulled the sword from his waist and put it on the stool.

"From now on, I will strike this ball three times with a sword. Compare the sounds."

First, Jed shook the sword slightly with little force.

Wooooh....

Then a rather dull tone sounded. It was a very unpleasant sound, as if I were going to get motion sickness if I kept listening.

"You don't want to hear it, do you?"

Then Jed hit the ball again. It was a much more disciplined and faster inspection than the first one.

Charalarang!

This time, a clear and beautiful sound worthy of the name Cheong Ah-seok rang out. The sound even made me feel as if it was gently touching my entire body with ears.

"Oh!"

The Tonya brothers exclaimed at the same time. Jindo looked at the cheonga stone with round eyes.

"Well, it's been a while since I've heard it, but it's very nice. As you have just seen, this cheonga stone makes a very dull sound when hit weakly, and this beautiful sound when applied with accurate force."

It was a simple principle.

Chin noted, however, that Jed did not explain how much "accurate power" was. I also realized how well this simple exercise was structured.

The purpose of this training is to strike a sword and make a clear sound from the greenstone at any time.’

It would be great to make a clear sound at once, but it was clear that it would not be easy to look at Jed's atmosphere.

Then you have to keep hitting the ball until there's a clear sound, and the unpleasant sound you'll hear in the process will reduce your concentration.

Even if he was not able to concentrate, he could not quit training, so naturally, his mental strength was also.

'Then what's the third?'

The first and second are to control the force.

The third time would have been the same. There seemed nothing else to do but hit the cheonga stone with a sword.

'The reason for this training is that it suits Looncandel's physical abilities. So you said simple and ignorant. The things my uncle has shown me so far are too little of a risk.’

The sword and sword of the Looncandel; the pass. And there's always a danger to losing. Runkandel's sword training, where only pure blood can be learned, could not have been so safe.

'When I brought the ball in, there must have been a rattling sound from the cheonga stone. Meaning there's something inside. It must have felt like a piece of iron...….’

Ah me!

The moment Jed raised the sword again, Jean, who came up with the answer, grabbed Tonya's brother by the neck, standing on both sides.

"The third is this."

"Get down!"

Jean leaned down and shouted. The Tonya brothers, caught by the neck, had their faces buried on the ground by Jean's strength.

They tried to spit out a curse as soon as they fell down, but the next moment they saw the unfolding situation was bound to blush their eyes.

Quaaaaang!

At Jed's last blow, the Cheong Ah-seok roared and exploded.

And dozens of iron beads popped out of it. It was as fast as an arrow, and the untrained man was the perfect force to die when he was hit by a vital point.

"Uh, uh, uh."

"Huh......!"

The Tonya brothers freaked out and looked everywhere. Looking at the iron beads that fell on the floor, I felt a shiver.

"The youngest has a good feeling. Yes, the cheonga stone is designed to explode this much if it is subjected to too much impact."

said Jed with a pleased smile.

Jean shook the dirt off her body, and thought her uncle was out of his mind. Without saying a word, he suddenly put his nephews in danger.

But on the other hand, I had this thought.

'This training is something that anyone in Looncandel would do. Most of the other brothers learned from Uncle Jed, which means they've gone through this stupid demonstration.’

In his case, he leaned down to avoid it because he had a good feeling. The Tonya brothers benefited from the persimmon.

And the rest of the brothers?

"You've never been hurt since Luna. Everyone except him was hit by an iron bead at the same moment as you. It's kind of a rite of passage."

Seeing Jed speaking with a big smile, the Tonya brothers sensed that the road ahead was open.

I was proud to hear that it was my first time since Luna.

"May I ask, Uncle, how did Luna's sister avoid this?"

"Well, you'll be upset to hear. All the brothers above you did."

"It's all right."

"The child, to be exact, couldn't avoid, unlike you. Like everyone else except you did. I just got all hit, but I didn't get hurt. He's so strong that...….”

As Jed said, it was a little weak story.

Still, there was a harvest. This is because I thought what if I had a brother who avoided all of this without knowing anything about it. Then he is more talented than he is.

"Anyway, you would have understood the training methods. Every afternoon from this day on, you will cut the iron beads. "Until any time, under any circumstances, there is a clear sound."

Luna's room.

She was spending a quiet time drinking tea with her nanny.

'Slowly, it's time for the youngest to see the results of my mental training. It'll hurt a lot if you get hit by a cheonga stone, you'll do a good job. It's fun to see you grow up.’

a slurping sound

"Lady."

"Yes, nanny."

"I'm a little suspicious of Ms. Mu and Mrs. Ann. When I see you keep him in check recently."

The conversation between the two was about who was the culprit who tried to "destroy Jean."

I've already experienced one assassination attempt. I've never told anyone about this. Gilly doesn't even know.I. In that sense, the fight has already begun.

Luna has been looking for the criminal ever since she first visited Jin in a stormy castle and heard the story. For as long as five years.

That's because she cares so much about Jean.

It has been a long taboo for the family to wage a war of rank against Looncandel, who did not leave the "storm."

If Luna reports the incident to Ciron, the whole family would be overturned, but Luna was judging that it could never have a good effect on Jean.

Most of all, there is no evidence.

"Well, they're just getting out, but you can't tell me. Crazy enough to attempt an assassination in a storm?”

Exactly what Jean went through was not an assassination, but a curse of "the widow of the wing," but Luna was an area she had yet to know.

"I honestly think Master Chen might have lied. You were 10 years old at the time, so you're old enough to do that, right? In fact, I haven't had anything in five years."

"I don't think Jean would have lied. At that time, the youngest was also wary of me. Not just because it was awkward, but because it was a human eye who felt threatened by life."

"Then shall we investigate Mew and Lady Anne first?”

"Yes, please. I'm more anxious that I have no income so far. Something... feels ominous."

"I'm in a bad mood. I'm afraid you'll get hurt by your brothers again."

"Haha, nanny. It's been a long time since I was thirty."

Luna covered her bitter smile with a teacup.

The day has passed.

The Jin and Tonya brothers have yet to hear the beautiful sound of the Cheonga Stone. Also, he was never hit by an iron bead when he exploded a blue rock.

Woooong....!

Woooong....!

Already four hours of unpleasant sound had filled the inside of the secret training ground.

'I can affirm. It's the dirtiest training I've ever done.’

The sound was blurring my concentration. The Tona brothers, on several occasions, vomited on the floor, and Jean barely missed the sword, sweating hard.

In the morning, I had a lot of hellish training in the intermediate class, and in the afternoon I was hitting the cheonga stone, which made me feel like death. Even the unpleasant sounds and echoes did not adapt.

"Five-minute break."

When Jed said, three people sat on the throne at the same time. But the Tonya brothers were mentally and physically exhausted and in a bad posture.

But even rest is not rest.

"Rest," as Jed described it, was the act of sitting down and extending the sword straight and overlaid with an auror. Even rest is part of training Orr.

Jin's grip on the sword trembled, and the Tonya brothers could not even grasp it.

It's just the dirtiest for Jean, not the hardest training.

In his previous life, he worked dozens of times harder than others and became one at 25. Compared to the despairing days of those days, the Cheong Ah-seok training was something to endure.

"In the first place, increasing Orr's destructive power was a priority.’

Jed set off the gallstones without causing an error.

The eight-star inspection was possible because it was different from that of the three. Once you grow up an auror, you can hear a clear tone, and you can break the chunga Stone.

"Datona, Heitona. Don't spread. If you don't even do this, you can't survive in Looncandel."

When Jed spoke calmly, the Tonya brothers cried and fixed their posture. Although it seems to be hard enough to shed tears, Jean recalled that they had become the flagpole of the pre-return family.

"In my previous life, these half-brothers were successful. Then there's no way I can't make it.’

Therefore, there was no need to be impatient.

With his eyes closed, Jean concentrated on her own oracle flowing through the sword. Du woo-woong, Du-woong. There was an auditory hallucination, but Jean was well aware of how to remove the distractions from the closed snow.

'I felt it on the first day, but he's... That's a thing. The Tonya brothers are doing fine. Maybe I'll break Luna's record.’

Jed only thought in his mind, but did not praise Jean.

The praise was because it would not be too late to give Luna a new record.
