I Became a Renowned Family’s Sword Prodigy - Chapter 14

Episode 14. A hologram window appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin’s eyes with a notification that the Balgeom and Lead Sword

quests had arrived.

< Walking My Own Path 2 >

The time has come to make a second choice. Choose whether to follow the path created by others or pioneer your own path.

Condition: Raise your swordsmanship ability to 25 using only foot and horizontal cuts.

Quest acceptance benefit: During the quest period, the experience level increase in swordsmanship and physical intelligence is greatly increased.

Reward: 700 points Title your own sword.

Baek Woo-jin couldn’t believe his eyes after seeing the contents of the quest. Why did this pop up when I was trying to answer my father that I would participate in the training of the 3rd great military commander?

‘Why on earth at this timing…’

– I’m asking you to make a choice.

‘select?’

-okay. There’s quite a lot you can get if you take that quest. However, as you can see from the conditions, this is not normal training. You can’t do anything else, just use your feet and slashes. It is mentally very difficult and there is a high chance of failure.

‘What if I use a different sword technique?’

-The quest is a failure. What are you asking?

‘crazy!’

Baek Woo-jin’s current swordsmanship ability is 21. It would take at least 3 months to raise your swordsmanship ability to 25 using only foot swords and horizontal cuts.

-Now that you are receiving some recognition from your family, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to decline this quest.

‘That’s right. ‘I just told my father to come to the training ground too.’

-Choose. Will you follow the rails laid down by your family and become a swordsman similar to them, or will you make your own path and become a swordsman unlike anyone else?

‘I told you. ‘I hate this family.’

Baek Woo-jin’s choice did not take long.

His brothers and father are monsters and geniuses. If you just follow behind them, you will never be able to catch up. You have to walk a different path in a different way.

‘Accept the quest.’

[You have accepted the quest.]

[From now on, if you use any sword technique other than the foot sword and horizontal slash, the quest will fail.] [

During the quest period, the amount of experience increase in sword skills and physical intelligence will be greatly increased.]

Baek Woo-jin accepted the quest and I looked at my father cautiously. He was still looking down at himself with a small smile on his face.

“Can I say sorry?”

“Tell me.”

“I’ve felt quite a few things while practicing alone these days. “Could you give me a chance to practice alone for a little while longer?”

The smile on Baek Cheon-hwa’s mouth grew brighter, but Baek Woo-jin’s complexion darkened. It wasn’t a good sign.

‘That’s not laughter. ‘I’m sure there are other ideas.’

Baek Chun-hwa liked herself, but that was only to a moderate degree. You may think that you crossed a line with what you just said.

“Right now, you are in the best possible state for development. You can grow much faster if you get the help of a proper instructor. But are you saying you’re going to throw away that opportunity and train alone?”

“That’s right. “I want to practice alone.”

If you suddenly withdraw from here, it becomes even more serious. Once you say something confidently, you must remain confident until the end.

“good night.”

Baek Tianhwa nodded. But his words did not end there.

“Two months.”

“yes?”

“Pass the test I give you in two months. “If you don’t pass, I will punish you.”

Baek Woo-jin swallowed dry saliva. It was obvious that my father’s exam would be so difficult that I wouldn’t be able to pass it even if I trained hard, but two months is too short a time.

The punishment there will never be ordinary. Things got serious.

-You can’t change it now. Should be.

‘okay. I just bought a one-way ticket. Now I can’t go back or get off.’

As darkness says, we must do it even if it means having to search. Baek Woo-jin composed himself.

“I will accept it.”

“You should train at the 3rd training center.”

“All right.”

“I’m looking forward to the next two months. “Let’s go back.”

Baek Woo-jin bowed deeply to Baek Cheon-hwa and then went out of Gajujeon.

“Are you trying to find your own way? “You’re different from anyone else in the family.”

Baek Cheon-hwa looked at Baek Woo-jin’s back through the closing door and smiled with satisfaction.

**

“The quest came up so suddenly that I couldn’t think of an excuse!”

-are you okay. The confident appearance wasn’t bad.

“Whew…”

Baek Woo-jin returned to his room and sighed with frustration. I looked at the ceiling for a moment and brought up the quest window.

“It won’t be easy to only use foot swords and horizontal cuts.”

-You know me well. Although it is the most basic swordsmanship, it is by no means an easy technique. You will have to put your whole heart into it every time you do it. Get ready to practice.

“okay. Before that…”

Baek Woo-jin brought up the status window.

< Basic information >

Name: Baek Woo-jin.

Age: 15 years old.

Title: Master of the Demon Sword and 3 others.

Grade: Other than grade.

Skill: Cain’s Aura Practice (Level 1) Rasadum’s Aura (Black Wind).

< Abilities >

Body: 22/100 (low level)

Physical strength: 22/100 (low level) (+5)

Spirit: 59 /100 (Intermediate) (+5)

Points: 200

“Let’s make everything from intermediate level first.”

-Good idea. You’re really good at managing the status window.

Using 200 points, I raised 4 five-star abilities. As the last remaining intelligence became low level, all abilities became low level.

[All abilities have become low-level.]

[The title ‘Low-level swordsman achieved!’ is acquired.]

[All abilities increase by 1 due to the effect of the title ‘Low-level swordsman achieved!’]

[The title’s effects are applied multiple times . .]

[Acquire the skill ‘Super Concentration’.]

The sound that came out when looking at the newly appeared hologram window was just one word.

“Fuck.”

-Sigh.

**

“Ha!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa was beating up a combat doll at the mock battle training center in Jeokjeokga.

bang!

The battle doll that was hit by her strong fist could not withstand even 5 minutes and collapsed like a piece of water.

“Huh…”

Only after crushing the battle doll beyond repair did Jeok Yeon-hwa’s fist stop.

“smart.”

It’s not a knocking sound, it’s a sound coming from the mouth. When I looked at the door, Jeok Yeon-hwa’s older brother, Jeok Gyeong-hoon, was standing there smiling.

“That battle doll is expensive. “You’re going to get scolded by your father.”

“get out.”

“Aren’t you being too cold to your heavenly brother these days?”

“I don’t feel like talking right now. get out.”

Jeok Yeon-hwa completely turned her back on Jeok Gyeong-hoon.

“Are you sure you want to go out? “Even though here is the information about that bastard you were looking for?”

“uh?”

As soon as she heard Jeok Gyeong-hun’s words, Jeok Yeon-hwa turned her head. She even used footwork and ran in front of Jeok Gyeong-hoon.

“Really?”

“haha! It seems like it’s really gone. Well, you too can love now…”

“What kind of talk are you forgetting about washing away ghosts! Give it to me quickly!”

“Tsk tsk.”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon lifted the paper he brought above his head.

“I had a hard time finding a friend because he didn’t have much information. You can’t just give it away. “You know what to do, right?”

“Ugh, brother. Please give it to me. yes?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa forced a smile and made a nasal voice, showing off her cuteness to the point of being scary.

“ha ha ha!”

Since they are the youngest siblings with a large age difference, Jeok Kyeong-hoon just looked cute no matter what Jeok Yeon-hwa did.

“i get it. “If my youngest wants it, I’ll give it to him.”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon patted his younger brother’s head and handed him the paper. As soon as she received the paper, Jeok Yeon-hwa’s expression changed.

“Now get out.”

“Hey, you change your stance too quickly… hey!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa sent Jeok Gyeong-hoon out without listening to him and then unfolded the paper.

“Baek Woo-jin. My name is my real name. Are you fifteen? You’re the same age as me. Now wait a minute! Shingeombaekga?”

Baek Woo-jin’s name and age passed by, and his red-yellow eyes stopped at his family name.

“It’s Baekga! You damn bastard! Are you fooling me?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa couldn’t hold back her anger and crumpled the paper containing Baek Woo-jin’s information.

“That is information that was difficult to obtain. Of course, it all goes down to the family name. “This was his first time out, so there wasn’t a lot of information.”

It appeared like a ghost behind Jeok Gyeong-hoon’s Jeok Yeon-hwa, who had clearly been sent out.

“brother!”

“huh?”

“If you get registered in this bastard’s dungeon, please register me too, wherever that place is.”

“uh? why?”

Jeok Yeon-hwa said, clenching her fists.

“I have to pay for the humiliation of that time! “I’m going to beat up the boss right before his eyes!”

Jeok Yeon-hwa threw away the paper and went back to training.

“Hehe…”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon chuckled and picked up the fallen paper and unfolded it.

“This is the first time Yeonhwa has shown such interest. Baek Woo-jin of Shingeombaekga….”

Jeok Gyeong-hoon, a genius of Jeokga and nicknamed Byeoksan-kwon, was interested in Baek Woojin.

**

The next day, Baek Woo-jin headed to the 3rd training camp as instructed by Baek Cheon-hwa.

The 3rd training center was much larger than where Baek Woo-jin was training, so even though many trainees were training, there was still space to use.

“We can do it here.”

Baek Woo-jin took a seat on one side and looked at the other trainees. Everyone was taking the same posture and stance and moving according to the instructor’s instructions.

“There’s my brother over there too.”

Baek Myung-hun was visible among the trainees. Baek Woo-jin smiled and waved, but he frowned and did not turn around.

“You’re ignoring me.”

-If it were you, would you want to say hello to a crazy guy who shames you every time you meet him? Don’t worry about anything else and just keep your posture.

“okay.”

Baek Woo-jin spread his legs shoulder-width apart and slightly bent his knees.

-First, there is the foot sword and the lead sword. Just keep practicing that today.

“Are you saying just pull it out and put it back in and repeat?”

-okay. I have to look at the level of your sword and lead sword. You will find the answer on what to do.

“I guess so.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded and drew his sword with the highest speed and strength he could use in his current state.

Cheaaa!

It sounded good, but the tip of the sword was so shaky that it was difficult to cut anything in real life.

-First of all, I lacked concentration and did not use my whole body. Turn the scabbard back a little further. When you strike with your sword, the friction between the sword and the scabbard…

“There are too many of you. Because I can’t fix everything at once. “Let’s do it one by one.”

-Oh, I see. It’s like a monkey swinging a sword.

“Whoa monkey?”

-That’s it, take the lead and start again.

“Gun…”

Heukam is usually teased by Baek Woo-jin, but when he trains, he becomes a stricter teacher than anyone else.

-As you said, it would be difficult to fix several things at once. Let’s change it little by little. At first, just pay attention to the angle of the sword.

“The angle…”

Baek Woo-jin put the sword into the sheath and adjusted the angle of the sheath as the darkness told him.

-now! Now is the best time. It will change slightly depending on the opponent’s height, but as long as you have your current balance, you will be able to maintain the speed and power of your strike even if you change direction.

“All you have to do is remember this posture.”

-okay.

After my physical and sword skills increased, it became much easier to hold and learn posture than before. If you do this for a few days, your body will become completely accustomed to it.

Kyaang!

Baek Woo-jin used the foot sword again.

-The angle was good, but the pulling force was too rough. A little softer.

“yes!”

Baek Woo-jin unconditionally believed the words of darkness when it came to training. The master who pursued perfection and the disciple who had perseverance were in perfect harmony.

-Once more.

“okay!”

Even when the prosecutor trainees took a break, Baek Woo-jin did not let go of his sword. The sword and lead sword were repeated endlessly.

“Hey, isn’t that too clumsy?”

“That’s right. The sword seems to be shaking. “Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”

“I’ve never seen a sword move so slowly. haha!”

The trainees laughed inaudibly at Baek Woo-jin’s clumsy swordsmanship.

“I guess that was a lie too.”

“that?”

“okay. There was a saying that Master Woojin defeated Master Myeonghun. “How can you defeat Master Myeong-Hoon with such skills?”

“I heard the rumor, but I can see it with my own eyes. “It was a rumor.”

“Master Myeonghun has a very big heart. “You stay silent even after hearing such nonsense.”

The practitioners I just spoke about are all practitioners belonging to Baek Myung-hun’s faction. They were creating public opinion among practitioners by denigrating Baek Woo-jin and promoting Baek Myung-hoon.

‘Kkkkk…’

Baek Myung-hoon didn’t say anything even though he was listening to everything from behind. They were laughing at Baek Woo-jin.

Huh!

Baek Woo-jin has already used his sword for the 800th time.

-I’m a bit more human now, but I still haven’t gotten used to my posture. 100 more times.

“Whoa….”

The darkness gave Baek Woo-jin a break only after he finished 900 sword and lead sword strikes.

“Haa….”

-The speed of development is not bad. But the future is the problem.

“from now on? What are you talking about?”

-Practice practice after perfecting the posture is of great help. When you deal with people or monsters, your skill experience increases even more. can you go out?

“There is no need to go out.”

-huh?

Baek Woo-jin put down the water he was drinking and glared at the trainees who were training.

“It’s over there. “My experiences.”

Baek Woo-jin already knew that they had gossiped about him because darkness told him.

“If you have something to say, you should say it in front of me. Kick the ground? “You all have been searched.”

Baek Woo-jin decided to make Baek Myung-hoon and the trainees who spoke behind his back his experience.

-…I thought so.

The future of the trainees was visible in the eyes of darkness. A future that would be excitingly beaten by Baek Woo-jin.
