Chapter 14 : Daily Dungeon (4)

Malice, like scattered dust, fell upon Ernian without reason.

It was an unexpected encounter.

I have experienced numerous discriminations and rudeness in my life, but this was the first time someone showed hostility so blatantly.

‘Is it discrimination against the disabled again?’

Can’t the visually impaired train their physical strength?

Ideation resonated with a hum.

A clear resonance spread out partially.

It was different from last time.

I had learned something while clearing the daily dungeon.

‘The human spirit is not infinite.’

Experience taught me.

To continue fighting, efficient allocation is important.

That’s why the narrative was only partially manifested.

Whack!

“Argh!”

It was a kick.

The man who stepped forward first convulsed in his limbs and fell backward.

Only his toes twitch.

It was a hand strike extended while cloaked in stealth.

No one saw the movement of swinging the arm.

“What? Is it sorcery?”

“What happened?”

It was understandable.

There was no process, only the result.

How fast must the hand be to not even see an afterimage?

Their dumbfounded faces were worth seeing.

“You baseless parachute!”

“How dare you hit our youngest, you brat!”

Holding a gun in one hand.

I respond with a calm posture to the panting breaths.

Ernian stood quietly, holding her breath and weighing the opponent.

Since the battle had begun, the eyes under the sunglasses were already open.

I let out my lips.

“Are you the ones who haven’t learned properly from your mothers and are picking fights with innocent people?”

According to what I saw directly with my eyes, these were triplets from China.

Not one stone, two birds, but one stone, three birds.

The impact was very satisfying.

“The youngest was the weakest among us!”

The men whose skin had turned red approached.

They stepped forward with great vigor, full of rage, but they were wary of the previous move.

Their movements were rough, but they didn’t stop.

I broadened my knowledge.

There are so many ways to use the body.

‘Is this what footwork is?’

I don’t know, but I knew the moment I saw it.

I scanned the flow.

It’s insight.

The mana flowing through the energy channels , the subtle movements of muscles and meridians , and even the trajectory of the footwork.

‘This is the function of handling mana. It’s different from Ideation. The mechanism where mana follows where the will is.’

But.

Just because I knew it, I couldn’t immediately follow it.

I haven’t learned how to handle internal energy yet.

And the mana in my body is really weak.

My thoughts briefly went to the Friday’s Elixir in my inventory, but that’s precious.

“You got scared and became a scarecrow, but your mouth is really arrogant!”

“A brat with no manners needs a good beating!”

The twins heightened their momentum.

Without knowing that the more they did, the more I learned.

[Violent Flowing Light Step ]

The moment the mana connects with the ground, the constraints of footsteps are loosened.

Whoosh.

The sound of cutting through the wind.

A brilliant footwork was , and the situation instantly became unfavorable.

Ernian’s eyes widened.

Distance became meaningless.

The moment I noticed, they were within reach.

The route was clear.

Face.

The fact that they are unfolding a harsh move even on a mere child was also proof that they were not in a position to be lenient.

There seemed to be no shame in the violence they wielded.

“El! Don’t just stand there, dodge!”

Jeong Chaemin stomped her feet and shouted.

The appearance of standing still without responding must have seemed reckless.

‘Are you worrying about me?’

I’m opening my core, so my body’s performance is following my thoughts.

No matter how fast their fists are, will there be no gap to move half a step?

The subtlety of transformation was contained in a small stride.

There was no need to move much.

Just half a step.

I quietly took a step.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

The attacks didn’t connect.

Only Ernian’s hair was messed up.

Jeong Chaemin’s eyes widened.

It was an unbelievable feat.

With just one step, she completely evaded the attack.

“What?”

“How did she dodge that?”

Their faces were stunned.

They seemed unable to accept what had happened.

Confusion and anger crossed their faces.

“Is that all?”

Clear and deep.

In it, there is a leisurely smile like that of an innocent child.

It was hard to be ridiculed by an elementary school student.

It felt like it touched the quietest place in the soul.

How can every single word be so precious?

That’s why the twins’ faces became even more grim.

The sound of swallowing breath.

They slowly bring their breath under control.

The twin brothers who stepped towards Ernian simultaneously lowered their stances.

Mana flickered from their fingertips and toes.

The mana was creating a faint, yet menacing hum around them.

[Hwahakjangnan (Chaotic Evil Palm) ]!

The palms with mana overlaid came at the same time.

The movements were rough and violent, but at the same time, they were meticulously coordinated.

A momentum like hungry beasts driving their prey.

If the older brother swings his arm from the left, the younger brother comes in, filling the gap.

“Can you avoid this too?”

Ernian narrowed her eyes.

‘Is this martial arts?’

Certainly, it’s more difficult than fists swung according to emotions.

A gesture designed to efficiently kill the enemy, with a certain system.

It is more hegemonic because it contains mana.

I didn’t see an angle to avoid.

No.

It’s more correct to say that I can see it, but my current body can’t perform that action.

‘If I move forward by half a step again, I’ll get a black eye.’

But.

The trajectory is too simple.

A faint smile appeared on Ernian’s lips.

‘It’s doable. This won’t hit. I don’t know why they’re pretending to hit, but I’m not fooled. Bend the right hand from top to bottom. After half a beat from there, the left hand will come up.’

I moved in advance.

Half a step forward.

It’s not avoiding.

It’s breaking through from the front.

“To move forward in front of the twins of evil. You’ve lost your nerve!”

“First place is nothing special. Hahaha!”

As they got closer, the faces of the twins were filled with triumphant expressions.

The action the girl took in front of them was simple.

Extending her hand at the right moment.

The perfect calculation hidden in that simplicity made even the spectators hold their breath.

Jeong Chaemin covered her mouth.

Because she couldn’t believe what she saw.

‘…I knew she was talented.’

But this is, on a different level.

The twins’ center began to become distorted.

An act that destroys the foundation and dries up even the roots.

Disruption.

“Wh-What is this?!”

“It’s impossible!”

The twins’ faces were distorted with embarrassment.

Hwahakjangnan (Chaotic Evil Palm).

A unique skill that the twins obtained when they awakened together.

The subtlety of combined strikes, the advantage when a majority intimidates a minority, and the ruthlessness of not being merciful in their hands.

It has always shown superiority in all matchups.

But now.

The girl who read the flow in an instant found a subtle crack in it.

Just one move.

The central axis is disturbed, the defense is achieved, and the situation becomes advantageous at the same time.

Now the best flow for the girl to attack has been completed.

A pistol came towards the face.

Whack!

That was the end.

Ernian turned around immediately.

“Nothing special.”

Perfect damage calculation.

A blow that would not kill, but knock them out.

The guys who had collapsed and were convulsing were speechless.

The girl’s lips looked even better because she was pleased.

Just then.

When did he come?

I turned my head.

Sharp eyes were staring this way.

Ernian seemed to know.

Her reaction was calm.

With her eyes wide open, Jeong Chaemin, who had been watching from the side, let out a sigh of admiration as she looked at the emblem on the school uniform he was wearing.

“That emblem? Yongbongjihoe ! Is it Geomryong ?”

“Do guys who know that cause trouble in a public facility?”

Mana spread out.

It’s overwhelming just to look at.

Geomryong slowly took a step.

Even the moment he took a step, he was busy spying.

His eyes scanned everywhere.

‘Cheonmujiche ?’

It was as if lightning struck my head.

A thrill runs down my spine.

How can a human body be woven like this?

Fine veins were intertwined throughout the body.

The conception vessel and the governor vessel flowed like primordial rivers, and the eight extraordinary vessels were like trees rooted next to them.

Each context was intertwined in perfect harmony, working together as one.

The body was a vast land in itself.

If all of that is properly connected, this land will soon become the sky.

Ernian whispered.

“Who is that?”

“Don’t you really know? He’s the student council president. Geomryong of Yongbongjihoe.”

Geomryong.

Geomryong.

Indeed, such a title was fitting.

Rather than feeling a wall.

I felt like I had found my direction.

I’m 12 years old.

Still plenty of time to grow.

Ideation will also be able to coordinate the direction of body growth.

But, there was something lacking.

Internal energy.

The blood vessels were not open, and the mana was not even moving.

‘Seven Days Elixir. I must get it.’

“I will ask, freshman. Are you first place in this entrance exam?”

“Yes. So what?”

“…You’re younger than I heard. It would have been a severe punishment if it were during the semester. It’s good to have a match, but please report in advance according to the form and do it in a designated place. Such behavior can harm other students.”

“Yes. I’ll be careful.”

An attitude that doesn’t want to cause problems.

He was the very definition of a cold city guy.

Jeong Chaemin took a deep breath.

El’s profile.

A body like a flower bud that has not yet bloomed.

‘Could it be? No way? El is more precious?’

Geomryong is handsome.

A thoughtless girl could fall in love at first sight.

Even though she’s covering her eyes, El seems to have gotten a skill related to her senses.

Besides.

Everyone can predict that El will become a peerless beauty in the future.

The picture of the two standing together was also a spectacular sight.

It felt like a scene from a romance fantasy had popped out.

Jeong Chaemin had many thoughts.

But.

The person involved had only one thought.

‘I wish Monday would come soon. I want to handle internal energy too.’

I want to go to the tower.

She was a hunter, through and through.
