Childhood Friend of the Zenith - Chapter 401
He said he wanted to transcend human limitations.
When I heard that, my face was full of questions.
Because I had a hard time figuring out what he meant.
“The first step to that was to open the bowl and fix it. It is the process you are going through.”
I was still feeling it.
That the body is gradually changing. In addition, there is also a change in behavior according to it.
As Pazon said, intense changes accompanied by pain were taking place in my bowl.
Seriously, I would have looked at this and labeled it as an artificial metamorphosis.
“After that, the second is a mixture of image and body.”
“The image and the body…?”
“If you have prepared a bowl, shouldn’t you put your deep heart into it now?”
“that.”
It reminds me of the state of ‘transcendence’ that Pazon talked about the other day.
Obviously, it was called the state where martial arts and martial arts become one.
If it is a mixture of image and body, is it different from that?
“If you are thinking of the difference with transcendence. not different.”
“…!”
“Rather, it was made with intention, so it has to be. It is only artificially raised, so the value will be obviously low.”
Making it artificially reach the upper level because it is not enough with the metamorphosis of the round bone?
‘How the hell did he create this kind of martial arts?’
When I heard the words, I could understand why Pazon looked at his martial arts and called it a martial art created to overcome human limitations.
In other words, it was the feeling that martial arts wanted to reach the realm of God.
“Rather, reaching the trance itself can be said to be a double-edged sword.”
That’s right.
I like the word trance, it’s a state of super concentration. There is nothing wrong with losing control of the body.
Not to mention, the flow of the bet was arbitrary, so there was a risk that the entire bloodstream would be distorted if the attack was wrong.
“One, so I think it’s more correct.”
“That means…”
“Since I entrusted all my senses to my instincts, I think it is a state suitable for using martial arts. together. If it becomes possible to fully control the senses at that time. It couldn’t be better.”
To completely control the trance state entrusted to instinct.
It was unbelievable.
Although there is nothing better than that to attain enlightenment.
Why is trance not trance?
It’s a state of forgetting yourself and focusing only on martial arts, so it’s called trance.
‘How to control it in that state.’
I wanted to refute Pazon’s words right away with a rational thought.
On the contrary, I also wondered if it was possible because it was that ‘Pae Zone’.
There.
According to Pajon, the sensation I experienced was the aftermath of the Tuapa Heavenly Dance.
There was also some credibility to what he had just said.
‘…that sense then.’
Meanwhile, the whole world feels blurry.
The only clear thing in it is the stretching movement.
The feeling at that time when it flowed in the direction I wanted even if I didn’t intend it.
As a martial artist, I felt a great sense of joy.
“Your expression has changed.”
“…!”
“I know what it feels like, but don’t be impatient, as others have said. Even if you don’t want to, as long as you become my disciple, you will reach it.”
“Yes…”
Pajon burst into laughter at my answer.
“Did you ever say You don’t have much talent for martial arts.”
“…”
“Then and even now, I don’t tend to sympathize with you very much.”
Saying so, Pazon points his hand behind my back.
I turned my gaze after the fingertips.
I was in a trance, and I could see the wall I was smashing like crazy.
no.
In the place where the wall should have been, I could see that the sunlight was coming through.
“Don’t judge yourself as lacking. You are at least as good as I can be when it comes to my martial arts.”
five days.
The result of staying up all night in a cave and immersed in training.
In the end, I was able to finish the homework that Pazon had set for me.
Immediately after confirming that, he staggered and sat down on the ground.
It was because the tiredness came all at once to his already languid body.
Looking at me who is about to collapse at any moment, Pazon says.
“Congratulations. Only now can I learn the first sword.”
It seems like something important.
Right now, I couldn’t hear Pazon’s congratulations.
Perhaps it was because of fatigue, but now I just wanted to collapse and lie down.
I quietly closed my eyes.
When I was about to fall asleep because I wanted to rest for a bit.
Pazon told me.
“I will have to go soon. Can I fall like that?”
My eyes light up when I hear that.
The tired body hurriedly raised the upper body to no avail.
“…now… how long is it…”
Come to think of it, I couldn’t sleep like this.
If five days have passed and it is daytime with the sun rising now.
Because it was the day to leave for Sacheon.
When I urgently asked what to say, Pazon tilted his head.
“well? Can’t we just run away now?”
“…ah.”
I had to close my eyes tightly at Pazon’s words.
that word soon
It meant going in this dirty, sweaty, dusty outfit.
******************
I hurriedly got out of the cave and arrived at the place I had heard beforehand.
As expected, everyone else except me was gathered.
I checked my father from a distance, and I asked Pazon with a hesitant step.
-…Coming to think of it, how did your conversation with your father go?
-huh?
– You said you met the other day, right?
-ah.
After hearing my transmission, Pazon nodded.
– We met.
– How did it go?
-What’s going on? just met.
-….
Is this something to answer so simply? When I looked at Pajon with a puzzled face, he pouted and spoke to me.
-Don’t worry too much. I got your father’s permission well.
– Permission?
– Contrary to expectations, they said nothing was wrong.
-….
Those words made me question. Did my father allow me to learn Pajon’s martial arts?
-If I said no, it would have been a bit annoying, but I’m glad I did.
-Are you bothering me?
-Anyway, it’s a little too much to do by force now.
-…
My expression had to be crumpled when Pajon said that he was trying to solve it by force.
What kind of ignorant comment is this?…
-Anyway, since you’ve already solved the problem, don’t worry and do your own thing.
-…All right.
There was something quite embarrassing about it, but since Pazon himself said it was okay, I decided to move on.
It wasn’t a problem, so I didn’t care too much.
What worries me more than that right now.
‘What should I do with this tail?’
I was worried about my appearance because I couldn’t handle it properly because I was in a hurry.
In addition to not washing properly, it was wet with sweat, so the condition was not very good.
The clothes were changed over and over again, but there were some traces left, which gave it a bad appearance.
To be honest, I don’t care too much about how I look.
I had to do what I had to do as long as I had a seat.
‘…rot.’
How could that bastard’s trance lead to this state of affairs?
He tried to hide it somehow using the smell, but he couldn’t bear to hide it until he was in a pitiful state.
As I approached with a little hesitation, the gazes of those gathered were directed this way.
In the meantime, I saw some unfamiliar faces.
Both were middle-aged men.
The moment I tried to figure out who each of them was.
“Forgive me for being late.”
Pazon, who was next to him, bowed his head to someone.
It was an unidentified middle-aged man on the left. The middle-aged man who received Pajon’s greetings was shaking.
‘ah.’
I could see and notice it.
That man is the head of the rain.
At that ambiguous reaction, Pazon raised his head and looked at the man.
The man was taken aback, then laughed hard and spit out the words to Fajon.
“…okay. Be careful next time…”
“Yes, Father.”
If I hadn’t known the secret identity, I would have thought it was a strange reaction.
Knowing his identity, the head of the house looked somewhat pitiful.
‘What should I say about this?’
It is not an exaggeration to say that the current position of Paejon is the highest in the rain.
It’s not enough to turn such a person into my son, so I have to act like this.
I don’t think that old man’s heart is very good either.
‘Then the other person.’
If one person is the head of the rain.
Another middle-aged man seems to be the head of the family.
‘That’s right. He looks just like Pawoochul.’
He is a man with a strong impression, bigger than Woo-chul Pae, who is already big.
If it was the patriarch of the family, he was someone I vaguely knew.
It was because he was a military man who rose to the ranks of the top 100 players in the midfield like his father.
Looking at such a man, I also bowed my head to my father.
“…Forgive me for being late.”
“okay.”
To my words, my father ends with a clear answer.
I wondered if the previous incident had loosened up a little, but it seems that my father’s original personality has not changed.
It was just that one of my father’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked at me.
As expected from my father’s point of view, my condition was not very good.
The moment I was about to step back with a shy smile.
“Yangcheon-ah.”
“…yes?”
Mrs. Mi, who was next to me, came up to me and called me.
“I heard that training is hard, but I am not in good shape because I am meeting important people.”
“sorry.”
Those words should have given me a rather surprising feeling.
It was almost the first time Mrs. Mi had scolded me like this.
It’s funny.
The scolding wasn’t subtly bad.
The moment I spit out my apology, Mrs. Mi’s hand brushes through my hair.
“Your hair is very damaged.”
“Mrs. Mi…. She’s not feeling well right now, and her hands will get dirty.”
I warned you not to touch it because it was full of dust.
Mrs. Mi touches my hair here and there with a nonchalant expression.
It looks like you’re trying to make it look a little better.
It wasn’t going to be easy, as the condition was so bad.
Even as she tries to touch her hair, Mrs. Mi continues to talk to me.
“I will send you good medicines through people, so don’t skip them and take them.”
“…yes? Yes….”
“I’m sure the family head of the party will not be disappointed, but if there’s a problem, I’ll go to the Baekhwa Sangdan in Sacheon… and again…” “…” How to say
something
. It felt like a long time.
In the eyes of his father, who was listening by his side, a subtle tiredness began to dwell.
Mrs. Mi continued talking as if she didn’t care about that.
“…Finally…”
Those words were quite long.
Is it an illusion that I have already heard the word “last” four times already?
“Don’t get hurt.”
“…”
“It’s okay if you don’t keep what I said earlier. I would like to keep this one.”
Mrs. Mi’s words strangely permeate my heart.
“Yes…”
I answered, but I coughed out the feeling of not knowing.
How should I feel about this?
I do not know.
After barely escaping from Mrs. Mi, it was Pajon who approached me.
“Are you done talking?”
“Ah yes.”
“haha. I’m very happy with that.”
Maybe it was because there were so many people, but Paezon had returned to his original tone of voice.
It’s really like a different person’s accent and expression. How could that be?
Because I’m looking at such a patzone with admiration.
Suddenly, without realizing it, my eyes were drawn to the person standing behind Pazon.
The reason why he suddenly turned his attention to the attendant was no different.
There were several figures who looked like attendants.
“…?”
It was because there was a person who caught my eye among those attendants.
‘what?’
A plain-looking man with freckles on his cheeks.
For some reason, as I was looking at him, I felt an unknown vibration in my right arm.
Why?
When I was looking closely to see what that person was.
-You’re quick-witted.
“…!”
An electrical sound penetrates the ear.
The voice I heard forced me to hold my breath.
The deep life in his voice and the subtle feeling in his arms.
It was a feeling I had never felt before.
I had to swallow my saliva while watching the attendant.
It has to be.
The identity of the person wearing the mask of an ordinary attendant.
-It’s quite the way.
A warrior called the master of the night and the king of killers.
He was the King of Darkness.
