Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 389

When I followed my father to the restaurant, I saw that there were people already gathered.

The number of people was not much different from those who ate last night, but I couldn’t see where Iljang-ro and Cheol Ji-seon had gone.

The iron wire seems to have bounced. I don’t know where the elder went.

As I enter the restaurant with my father, my eyes are drawn this way.

drooling-! Some of the people sitting in the chairs get up.

They were Namgoongbia and Wiseolah.

The eyes of the two were looking at me with my blue, bruised eyes. The emotions burning in the eyes of the two were not unusually hot.

“who…?”

It was the question of who made my eyes like this.

Namgung-Bia spat out the words lightly, but Gu Yeon-seo, who was sitting next to her, was startled by the emotion she felt from the words.

Seeing that, I waved my hand roughly and said.

“It’s no big deal.”

“lie.”

At Namgoongbia’s resolute words, Wiseolah, who was next to her, also nodded.

“It’s a lie. When Confucius says it’s no big deal, it’s usually a big deal.”

“…”

I had to feel various emotions at the nod of the two.

How do you usually see me so that you can say it so sternly? Do you know what I’m thinking about?

‘…’

The sad thing I thought about was myself, who couldn’t say for certain that that wasn’t the case.

“Who… did that?”

Namgoongbia was ready to pull out her sword at any moment. What are you going to do with it? A kid who just got better.

“What are you going to do?”

“Scold me…”

“Scold me?”

“huh.”

I laughed inwardly at Namgoongbia’s words.

I can’t scold you either, so what and how are you going to scold me?

I was grateful, but no matter how I looked at it, it was impossible.

As I didn’t answer and just smiled, Bia Namgung came over and carefully stroked my eyes with her hand.

Unlike cold hands, the worries in your hands feel warm.

Wiseol-ah comes closer and starts kneading here and there with no more injuries. It was so embarrassing to show it off to others.

“Are you okay? stop! People see it.”

Only after I raised my voice slightly did the two of them step back. Of course, the concern in his eyes was the same.

It’s just that my eyes are a bit black, but why are they reacting so strongly?

Wi Seol-ah took a step back and spat out words as if she was shocked.

“If Gongja-nim became like this… he must have been a fairly strong opponent.”

I nodded my head at Wi Seol-ah’s words.

“It was strong. ruthlessly.”

“…What a terrifying opponent…”

“It was terrifying.”

“Are you a bad… person…?”

“No, he’s not a bad person… is he?”

I can’t give a definite answer, so I feel the presence of my father behind me. It seemed that if I teased him more, big things would happen.

He grasped the atmosphere and said as if nothing was wrong.

“I was beaten by my father.”

“…yes?”

“…”

At my words, I could see the two people’s movements hardened. The gaze also shifts.

To my father, who did not even greet me in the morning when he saw my blue, bruised eyes.

My father showed no particular reaction. I just look at the two people who are still worried about me.

Oh that’s more scary

Then, not long after, the two of them turned their gaze toward me again.

His eyes are filled with resentment, as if asking why he is saying that now.

‘…Sometimes they say they’ll scold me.’

To turn the arrow of resentment right here?

It was a very unfair and sad part for me.

******************

After roughly filling the rice, I headed to the same cave as when I was there.

It was because he had to train for a few days and had some business with Pazon.

“I am here.”

The moment you step into the cave, the smell of alcohol fills your nose.

I frowned at the horrible smell and looked around. Bottles of alcohol were everywhere.

How many are those? It seems that I have exceeded the number that can be counted by hand.

“Did you come?”

Pajon stood in the center after driving all those bottles of alcohol into a corner.

“What is that?”

When I point to the bottle with my hand, Pazon smiles.

“It’s been a while since I tipped a glass with my close friends.”

“That’s not about tilting.”

“Isn’t that what happens when you drink intoxicated with the atmosphere and pleasure? You are still too young to understand.”

“…”

I had to shake my head at Pazon’s words.

For reference, I never really enjoyed drinking much in my previous life.

There was no one to enjoy with. At best, it was to the point of raising a glass next to the Demon Swordsman as he took a sip of moonlight as a snack.

“If it’s a close friend, then Elder Il has come and gone.”

“So to speak.”

The old people drank terribly, really.

Looking at the amount, it doesn’t look like the two of them drank together. Were there more people? I don’t know how far there.

After confirming my reaction, Pazon laughs loudly and waves his hands.

Then, a strong wind burst out of Pazon’s body.

Whoops-!

The wind swept through the entire cave and threw it out.

Then, to my surprise, I feel that the smell of alcohol remaining in the cave is gone.

‘It’s always amazing to see.’

I looked at Pajon with surprised eyes. It is an amazing betting application at any time.

As long as it’s just causing the wind, I can do anything.

The wind generated by Pazon swept away only the air inside the cave, not anything else in the cave.

He only touched the air without touching the full bottles of alcohol or the rocks on the floor.

How should I do that?

Pazon asks if he noticed my gaze.

“Will you teach me?”

“Can you say that you are learning?”

“I don’t know if it’s the other guys. If it were you, it would be possible.”

“…that’s it.”

“okay? It’s a pretty useful method. It’s a pity.”

Pajon clicks his tongue in regret. I should have known that it was a useful method, but the reason for rejecting it was the same.

‘That person overestimates me.’

Pajon often teaches me ‘You are possible.’ I’m spitting it out like that.

the meaning of that word.

‘You’re like me, so anything is possible.’ It meant.

In other words, he seems to think that my talent is on the same level as Pazon himself.

‘It’s not like that, so it’s a problem.’

It was just a daunting expectation for me.

If you watch Pazon from the sidelines, you’ll realize it sooner or later.

That man is the real among the real.

Pazon was one of the most talented fighters in the midfield.

During the training, there are often times when we chat, but whenever that happens, Pazon sometimes complains.

-Why can’t you do that? Guys these days have no guts. It’s something you can do if you want to.

Whether it’s how to apply bets or how to figure out the opponent’s moves. Although Pazon said that if you want to see it, you can see it as much as you want.

The old man didn’t seem to know that if it was easy, a dog or a cow would have become a master

.

As a listener, I really had nothing to say.

A human being who is now called one of the three zones even though he invented a new martial art by himself and at the same time emptied all the bets he learned at a late age and started anew.

that’s paison

Like all the people called Samjon, Paejon was said to be one of the greatest geniuses in history.

For me, such human expectations were just burdensome.

No matter how you look at it, I was a genius, but I wasn’t a genius.

“But ah.”

“yes.”

“Why are your eyes like that? It looks like you got hit somewhere.”

“…”

“I’m sure you’re not at the level where you’re going to get beaten up… How could you be so miserable? Oh, it’s fun to look at because it’s funny, so I’m fine with it.”

It’s okay because it’s fun. What kind of bullshit is that?

“…It’s a concubine born from sparring with my father.”

At my words, Pazon takes on an interesting look.

“Did you mean the old family head?”

“yes.”

“Truck. Then it’s worth it. how was it The sparring with your father.”

“…”

It’s a sparring with my father. To be honest, I had nothing to do but think about it.

“I couldn’t even brush my collar once.”

At my words, Pazon recalls a strange expression.

“Your father is still the same.”

“Do you know anything about my father?”

“I literally know very little.”

“how?”

“If you ask how, I just know. It is not easy to find an unmanned person who has reached that level. Conversely, ahaha, how much do you know about your father?”

“Ah… well?”

If you ask me how much I know about my father, I honestly don’t know. All I know is that my father is much stronger than his reputation.

‘thinking about it.’

I do have doubts. Not to anything else, but to Pazon.

“Old man.”

“okay.”

“Why didn’t you invite your father to become a disciple? Could it be that your father didn’t notice you?”

I don’t know how much my father’s talent is and how much he has reached.

I think my father is closer to the person Pajon wants than me.

He told me to stick close to him and tell him to do it, but why didn’t he do it to my father?

I said while sweeping my beard that didn’t even have a face.

“You are curious about something strange. Why were you curious about that?”

“I mean, I’m just curious.”

“Um…”

Pajon, who was silent as if he had something to think about for a while, resumed speaking shortly after.

“By the time I checked on your father, it was around the time I hadn’t turned halfway.”

So, is it time to stop looking for a disciple?

“Of course, when I thought I would find a disciple after going through things. I have thought of your father.”

“yes.”

“I was immediately ruled out.”

“May I ask why?”

“Because it makes no sense.”

What do you mean by that?

Are you saying your father isn’t full of surnames? Frightened by my question, Pazon added an explanation.

“Your father was already at the level of becoming one with his martial arts.”

“…to become one with martial arts?”

I had to ask again because I didn’t understand what he meant.

To become one…?

Is it because of the continued questioning? Pazon put on a slightly annoyed expression, but began to explain to me.

“Did you hear that it was the sword union day?”

“yes. I know.”

New sword union day.

Did you say that the swordsman becomes one with the sword?

you are the sword the sword is yourself

The point of being harmoniously united without leaving any lines. As a swordsman, he said it was a place where he dreamed more than raising the level as a martial artist.

Swordsmen who reached that far were awarded the title of master. It is said to be able to pull out an invisible sword called the so-called heart sword.

This was also the level that the Demonic Sword Master had reached in his previous life.

“Being one with martial arts. It just means that we went a little further than that.”

“I can’t believe I went further than that…”

“I understood all the martial arts I learned. The body is not a vessel for martial arts, but to be itself.”

Pajon’s story is full of incomprehensible words, but for some reason I felt the heaviness of the words penetrating my body.

“One sees this and calls it transcendence. It’s something you don’t need to understand yet.”

“Transcendence…”

Why? Hearing Pazon’s words, he had to fall into doubt.

It was a story I had never heard before.

Sounds like an important story, but why am I hearing this for the first time?

“…So you’re saying my father has reached transcendence?”

“At least that’s how it seems to me. Therefore, it is a story that I cannot recommend to anyone who has reached that level.”

Does that mean you have to give up even if you like Paison?

In addition, did my father reach that level?

‘I’ll have to ask about this later.’

It seemed like something I could ask my father about.

After putting it all together, I decided to ask Pazon about something else.

“Then, has the elder also reached the state of transcendence?”

“…”

I had to regret a little after asking.

It was because Pazon’s expression distorted a little when he heard my question. Are you in a bad mood?

Pajon starts talking to me in a voice mixed with a sigh.

“…Do you know what the minimum conditions for reaching transcendence are?”

“I do not know.”

“It is the great castle of martial arts.”

“ah.”

It was only after hearing those words that I thought I knew why Pazon was making such a face.

“I couldn’t reach it. So it’s more of a question. What is there that I can reach with my martial arts?”

“So you’re using me because you want to see that?”

“…The Malbon Bird is getting prettier as it goes by. You use it, you bastard.”

No matter how you look at it, what I said seemed like the right answer.

That’s why Pazon also criticizes the way he speaks, but doesn’t deny it.

‘transcendence.’

Did you say that you can only try if you master martial arts?

After hearing that, there was one more thing I wanted to ask, but I couldn’t bear to ask it.

then older than Are you saying my father is stronger? the question.

It’s kind of hard to ask this outright.

‘At least, the minimum condition is the great achievement of martial arts.’

It was an unreasonably high condition. Whether it’s the mouth-watering whirlpool or the Tuapacheonmu.

In terms of difficulty, it’s an incredibly high martial art.

What kind of bullshit are you saying that you have to achieve this, but you can try it?

‘It means I’m not at the level to look at yet.’

Right now, rather than transcendence or anything, I had to move on with the goal of raising the Guyeom Hwa Ryun Gong to 9 stars.

“The small talk ends here. Let’s warm up a little bit.”

Pajon twists his wrists and tells me.

The meaning of loosening the body means to fight.

It is a rule not to use bets, and it is a sparring that is only done with herbivores.

I’ve been doing it every time I met Pajon for the past few months.

I’ve never beaten Patson before.

Maybe this time too.

When I was kicking my tongue to the fullest in the thought that I was about to be hit again.

“Oh, you are so old.”

“huh?”

He remembered what he hadn’t said to Pazon yet.

“why? Do you have anything more to say?”

“Oh, no big deal.”

“Tell me.”

“My father said he would like to see you.”

“…huh?”

Pazon is rarely taken aback by my words.

“suddenly? Why is your father?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

I had to scratch the back of my head shyly at Pazon’s reaction.

“Because they found out that I became an elder disciple.”

“what…?”

“During sparring with my father, I was trying to use the elder martial arts. But he noticed right away.”

haha!

I tried to turn around and say that I had an accident.

“So my father says he wants to see the elderly. Can’t we?”

At my words, Pazon’s face instantly rotted away.
