Chapter 286

Episode 286 Ahn Ho-yeon (1)

After the many-to-one match in the circle rankings ended with a rather bland landslide victory.

The one-on-one ranking match continued smoothly.

Jaehyun easily overpowered his opponent in the quarterfinals, and finally a big match was concluded.

Jaehyun and Ahn Hoyeon are in the same circle.

A confrontation was created between the two.

The two now stood facing each other in the amphitheater.

“Are they really okay? I hope the kids don’t get hurt. Once the kids catch fire, they have a bit of a personality.”

“…I know.”

Kim Yoo-jung and Seo In-na watched the two of them shaking their hands.

Jae-Hyun and Ahn Ho-Yeon in the round arena. That they are smiling is probably unknown to most people.

Because it was very faint and only visible to each other.

“I waited for this to happen. I said it during the freshman hunt. I will fight you again.”

“It did. It’s already been several months since then. Time goes by so fast.”

Jaehyun shuddered.

However, Ahn Ho-yeon’s expression was serious.

There seemed to be no will to do anything moderately to save face for the circle leader. Jaehyun was satisfied again.

willingness to move on.

Because all of Jaehyun’s colleagues had it, he is also gaining a lot of help and momentum.

And the words of Ahn Ho-yeon. It also inspired the will to reproduce.

When Ahn Ho-yeon was released from Gu Ja-in’s brainwashing during the freshman hunt in the past. He gave Jaehyun his name tag and said.

that you will definitely get it back so it’s giving

Milles School Festival. Let’s meet there.

And finally the time has come.

Jaehyun was well aware of how much Ahn Hoyeon had grown up to now. However, after tutoring with Ballack, we do not know to what extent he has risen.

It would be quite fun to check his skills properly now.

“I’ll let you know the gap here again.”

“However much.”

After a brief conversation and greetings between the two of them.

Commentary and caster’s start signal dropped along with microphone noise.

“Then the quarter-finals begin. The target is Ahn Ho-yeon and Min Jae-hyeon. They are members of the same Circle Nine.”

“Daejin is really sad. It would have been much better for them to have two people from the same circle meet in the final.”

“That’s right. But the positive thing here is that one person will definitely be given a chance to challenge the highest place!”

Wow!

The atmosphere is like a medieval Colosseum.

People are in a frenzy, and the two are holding their breath and looking for each other’s gaps.

In this situation, even a moment of misjudgment can lead to defeat.

just wait And observe how the enemy moves and then snatch it.

visor!

shoot out

The long sword for sparring in Jaehyun’s hand collided with An Hoyeon’s sword.

Sparks fly from each other’s eyes. Within the brief exchange of glances. The swords blended as if they read each other’s movements accurately.

A sword that is tenaciously entangled like a snake fighting a snake.

That was what Ahn Ho-yeon taught Jae-hyeon directly.

“Jaehyun, you’ve become pretty good at swords too, haven’t you?”

“I had a lot to write about. You can see it already.”

“but.”

As the two men shuffle their swords for longer, the tension in the crowd is also rising.

The sword silently pioneered its own sword path, and the opponent read each other’s intentions and cut their swords.

It was a level that a freshman or a cadet could not possibly show.

“I know you saved my mother.”

Ahn Ho-yeon suddenly said that while putting strength into the wrist holding the sword.

Jaehyun shrugged his shoulders with a small smile on his lips.

“I see.”

Jaehyun did not deny it. I was vaguely thinking that you already knew. There is no need to hide it anyway.

it’s what you did Not bad either.

“I’d like to say thank you, but I’ll do it after this fight.”

“Do you have any reason to delay saying that?”

“If you say that now.”

Roaring!

In Ahn Ho-yeon’s eyes, one of his main skills, the blue flower, finally begins to bloom.

The corners of his mouth drew an arc.

“Looks like you looked after me when I lost.”

Jaehyun couldn’t help but laugh at Ahn Hoyeon’s words.

“Look at me? you? It seems too early.”

As their gazes collided, a huge wave of magical energy erupted at the same time.

It soon started engulfing the entire arena.

―Active skill 《Chain of Lightning》.

charrrrr!

Jaehyun uses chain magic to keep his distance from the enemy and begins to put magic into his sword. This is a preliminary move to destroy the enemy with a single attack.

In order to push Ahn Ho-yeon into a proper attack, he had to break through that defense.

However, it is impossible to bring out divine powers or S-class skills. Aren’t you his colleague?

It was good to break his will in moderation here.

However, the moment Jaehyun weaved a chain and fired at him.

Awesome!

He watched as An Ho-yeon’s sword cut through his chains.

‘The chain of lightning is an A-class skill. It’s not something that can be cut with a training sword.’

Jaehyun’s thoughts followed quickly.

yes it was like that

Jaehyun’s eyebrows went up.

“You… are you facing S-class now?”

Why is Ahn Ho-yeon so strong? The reason was simple.

It was because he was now gradually reaching the level of S-class.

With each breath, his sword slowly begins to sharpen.

Jaehyun decided to change the strategy.

It seems that he will not be able to defeat him unless he also demonstrates some level of skill.

Such thoughts ran through Jaehyun’s head.

* * *

Meanwhile, countless people watching the battle between the two on TV were holding their breath.

Basically, the Milles School Festival is broadcast live nationwide. That’s why the ratings are also very high and popular.

A level that almost surpasses the status of the Olympics or World Cup.

It is not difficult to guess how high the value of the name is if it goes beyond even sports that have built up a history of hundreds of years.

Jaehyun’s mother, Seonhwa Lee, also enjoyed these events.

…If only it was normal that my son wouldn’t come out.

‘I should do well… I shouldn’t hurt my son…’

She watched the battle nervously with a worried expression on her face.

“Huh… Jaehyun and Ahn Hoyeon are friends… You’re being too harsh on that friend.”

I heard the voice of a familiar man next to me. They were Kim Yoo-jung’s parents who visited the house to enjoy the live broadcast of the festival together.

I couldn’t go to the site because I didn’t have enough time. We decided to gather and cheer together like now.

At the bottom right of the TV, various chats were also appearing.

[Anonymous 1: Ahn Ho-yeon vs Min Jae-hyun… isn’t it the first time since the unreleased video during the freshman hunt? But Ahn Ho-yeon can’t play the game. I feel like I’m being pushed by Min Jaehyun. I was crazy until the game right before.]

[Anonymous 12: So… But this is Min Jae-hyun’s crazy. Because Ahn Ho-yeon fights well? But Min Jae-hyun fights better haha]

[Anonymous 81: Both of them are handsome. Is this me?]

[Anonymous 72: It’s just an overwhelming car… Can’t we give Min Jae-hyun the championship and start over?]

[Anonymous 3: I don’t know. I heard that there are still some transfer students left?]

[Anonymous 99: Do you believe that lol]

Seonhwa Lee was well aware of the handsome boy fighting with her son.

Ahn Ho-yeon. It was someone I had heard from Jaehyun several times.

‘I shouldn’t have been too harsh.’

Of course, I wish my son would win, but he had a bit of a bad habit.

Just the desire to win. His excessive desire to compete was the cause (?) of destroying his sociability.

Maybe that’s why it didn’t take a day or two for me to come back from a fight with my friends. Even after middle school, I thought of myself and reduced it a little… but…

‘That expression now… is the same as back then.’

Seonhwa Lee knew. That the expression Jaehyun is making right now is dangerous.

Kim Yoo-jung’s parents were cheering for Jae-hyun.

It was a thank you. Anyway, even though we’re close, it’s really difficult to support someone else’s son like this…

“Cheer up, our son-in-law!”

“Cheer up, Jaehyun! Damn, we have to fight well from now on if we want to take responsibility for our fierce Yu-jeong!”

…Of course, the cheering phrase was a bit strange.

* * *

Chaeeng! Chaeeng!

“Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”

A sword filled the eyes of Ahn Ho-yeon, who woke up from his thoughts.

A sword that creates sparks by striking each other in succession.

Now, while using the blue and white sword to its limit, he is being pushed back by Jaehyun with pure swordsmanship.

It’s amazing.

The highest star of martial arts aptitude 92. Rookie.

Wasn’t that the nickname the public called Ahn Ho-yeon?

However, Jaehyun surpassed even that in just a few months.

It would have been impossible without overwhelming talent and hard work.

However, it was also a landscape that was vividly sketched in front of my eyes.

“Haa…”

Chaeeng!

A spark burns with heavy breathing.

between the sword and the sword. A beam of light that deflects through the air creating a sword path. Everything came closer and closer as if flickering in Ahn Ho-yeon’s field of vision.

The sword of Jaehyun is heavy.

Especially if it is a slash action that is fired from close range.

Ahn Ho-yeon briefly recalled the face of Jae-hyun, who had asked him to teach him the sword for the first time.

At that time, Jaehyun told him that he would learn the sword even though he was already the best rookie in the magic world. that we can help each other.

I said so.

Actually, he was right.

Ahn Ho-yeon also learned a lot from him and became stronger, and he also improved his sword skills.

For Ahn Ho-yeon, what happened at that time still remains as a big shock.

When he first learned the sword with his father. He had gripped the sword while being told to clear away everything in front of him.

But it wasn’t a bow sword.

I tried to save people, but it only brings more pain.

He couldn’t really save himself.

It became increasingly difficult to wield the sword, and his mind was worn out.

Every moment the sword became heavy.

Why am I swinging my sword now?

Ahn Ho-yeon was too young to know that and did not know that he was being destroyed.

The pressure pressed down on both of my shoulders, and I couldn’t even breathe because I couldn’t breathe.

To Ahn Ho-yeon.

No, Jaehyun held out his hand to me.

It opened the way for us to move forward and allowed us to head towards it.

so it can’t get any worse

can’t get out of here

I will reach him somehow.

Quaang! Coudantang.

My body rolls on the floor.

Jaehyun skillfully drove me into a blind spot by mixing all sorts of magic and sword.

In fact, the body had already been broken for a long time. It seemed that a few ribs were broken, and that the neck was slightly sore as well, which was not normal.

legs, arms, and shoulders. everything is not fine

But why at that moment? I thought so.

‘Looking back now, it was really fortunate that I met Jaehyun. If only I hadn’t run to save the Witchbeast that day.’

If it hadn’t been for a moment of courage.

Maybe he couldn’t come until now after becoming close with Jaehyun.

Quaang!

Once again swords collide and the earth is broken. Blood spurted between the clenched gums as his legs dug deep into the cracks in the floor.

He remembered what Balak said when he looked after him.

The sword is heavy, but its tip is sharp.

As I repeated those words, I increased the sword’s speed and began to add mana.

Right now, my realm is obviously A-class top.

In the eyes of others, it was a level that could be described as genius or more.

But no.

this isn’t enough

Whoa.

Exhale. and look ahead

Jaehyun is standing.

He’s in the same position as me, doing the movements I taught him.

No more cheers in my ears.

mix swords And you have to win.

My mind was filled with just that thought.

Guin. I will also punish the person who made my mother suffer.

Also for that.

“If I don’t become stronger, it will be difficult.”

―The system responds to the user’s will!

―The user has awakened a unique skill!

―You have succeeded in acquiring the passive skill 《Sword of Faith》!

At that moment, the system responded to my will.

It was a miracle, but it wasn’t sudden at all.
