Chapter 506: Training 1

Junhyuk sparred for the rest of the day with those same heroes. By the end of it, he felt like a used rag. Out of all of them, Nudra was the most helpful, giving him advice in a kind manner.

While Junhyuk was resting on a stone chair, Artlan, who was still drinking, said, “You are learning new swordsmanships at the moment, but you have a lot to learn still. Those legends spent a lifetime perfecting their swordsmanships, and they continued doing so even after becoming legends.”

Junhyuk had no energy left, so he simply stared at Artlan, who continued nonchalantly, “Their swordsmanships belong to them. They did their best until the end. You are learning something incomplete, so you have to come up with your own swordsmanship.”

Junhyuk nodded heavily. He could understand what Artlan was saying.

Artlan emptied the bottle in his hand and grabbed another.

“So, develop your swordsmanship right now.”

“Do you want me to give up those legendary swordsmanships?”

“You don’t have to give them up. You can use them. You just need your own swordsmanship to complete and complement them.”

“Is that even possible?”

Artlan pondered it over and said, “I like this drink. Can you get me some more?”

Junhyuk looked at the bottle. It was a thirty-year-old whiskey. Smiling, he said, “If you want, I’ll gather all of the bottled whiskey on Earth.”

Artlan smirked.

“OK. I’ll fix your swordsmanship until the alcohol stops flowing.”

“What?!”

Artlan got up and pulled out his sabers, saying, “It’s your job to refine your swordsmanship, but I’ll spar with you to fix it.”

Junhyuk’s eyes beamed, and he replied, “Give me some time. I’ll get the whiskey ready.”

“Sure.”

Junhyuk exited the training facility and went to see Eunseo. She was very busy, but he had to ask her for a favor.

When he entered, he got up and looked at him.

“How’s the party?”

“Good, but I have a problem.”

“What problem?”

Eunseo seemed ready to solve his problems for him, so he said, “I need more thirty-year Macallans.”

“How many bottles?”

“As many as possible.”

Eunseo smiled and said, “I’ll get the South Korean supply first. Then, I’ll look at the nearby countries, so don’t worry.”

“Thank you.”

“I’m only giving out orders.”

“Still.”

Eunseo walked up to him and asked, “Why do you look so injured?”

Nudra had thrown him all over the facility, so Junhyuk’s entire body was bruised. Eunseo was looking at him compassionately.

“I’m OK.”

“Be careful.”

He hugged her tightly and said, “It’ll be two more hours before they finish their drinks. Can I come back then?”

“Sure. I’ll get everything ready, so came back.”

Junhyuk nodded and reentered the training facility.

Looking around, Artlan said, “They are having fun.”

Vera, Gongon, Sarang and Elise were talking passionately. Halo and Nudra were giving Layla advice. Diane was smiling while drinking wine.

Junhyuk was glad he had bought the training facility. Everyone was there, and they were all having a good time.

Artlan was in the middle of emptying another bottle.

Those heroes had already faced many deaths. They were incredibly strong.

Junhyuk thought about the heroes. He was a hero. He was the first human hero and he had also gone through many battles. But, he had Sarang, Elise and Eunseo. Without them, he would’ve been lonely.

“Do you want to start training now?”

Junhyuk got up. He would train for the next couple of hours.

He gathered his thoughts while standing in front of Artlan. His goal was to combine all of the swordsmanships he knew, including his own wild swordsmanship. His wild swordsmanship was entirely dependent on instinct, and he used it now.

Junhyuk ran toward Artlan and slashed. Artlan deflected his sword easily and said, “Don’t just swing purposelessly like that.”

Junhyuk refocused and swung again.

They sparred, his attacks easily met by Artlan.

Diane had the most free time out of the people present. She seemed that way at least while drinking her sparkling wine.

She wasn’t talking about magic with others nor working on improving her swordsmanship. She was alone, but she looked interested in what Junhyuk and Artlan were doing. Diane knew how hard it was to come up with a new swordsmanship, but she did not want to interfere.

Junhyuk was moving nimbly, and she was watching him.

Layla walked up to Diane then.

“What’s up?”

“You look bored.”

“I’m not bored at all!” Diane said with a shrug. “This place has a good atmosphere. I’m comfortable just sitting around and I know everyone here.”

Diane didn’t have many interests, but they had managed to gather outside of the Dimensional Battlefield, and she was happy with that. She didn’t want to talk, but she was happy just being there.

Her eyes and ears were happy with what was happening, and she was having a good time.

Layla, who was drinking next to her now, asked, “Can I stay with you?”

“Sure.”

Nudra was drinking with Halo, so Layla decided to join Diane.

“I have a question.”

“What is it?”

“Is the way elf’s move natural or something learned?”

Diane stared at Layla and asked, “Why are you so curious?”

“If it’s learned, I would also like to learn it.”

Diane smiled and said, “That’ll be difficult for a non-elf.”

“But I won’t know until I try.”

Diane stared at her for a moment and asked, “What do I get for it?”

“What do you mean?”

“I’m not interested in women.”

Layla didn’t know what to say. Meanwhile, Diane took another sip or her wine.

“I can teach you the basics of elf movement.”

“Really!?”

“Sure.”

Diane crouched, and Layla did the same, and the two talked in hushed voices for a while.

Coming up with a new swordsmanship wasn’t easy, but he was lucky.

Junhyuk had three very great teachers, and within his mind, two legendary swordsmanships.

They all worked on him, and the three heroes corrected him when he took a wrong turn in his training.

Artlan corrected him through punishment, while Halo spoke to him directly, and Nudra told him stories.

If he had only had one teacher, he wouldn’t have been able to understand, but with the three, he learned a lot.

Junhyuk was getting the basics of his swordsmanship right. His own wild swordsmanship was now combining with the two others.

Junhyuk could control wind energy and lengthen his sword while using his wild swordsmanship, refining everything.

Artlan drank while Halo or Nudra sparred with him. Having multiple heroes to spar with him was helping him complete his swordsmanship.

He got badly beaten during training, but he also learned a lot.

Junhyuk collapse when dueling Artlan, and he felt someone grabbing his butt. He knew who it was.

“You never get tired of it.”

“I don’t get many chances.” While caressing his butt, Diane said, “Take your armor off.”

Without saying anything, Junhyuk returned his armor. He was wearing regular clothes underneath.

Diane started massaging his back. Her hands moved quickly, and he felt himself being soothed. It felt good, and her hands seemed addictive to him.

He felt relaxed, but suddenly, her hands grabbed his butt again, so he got up.

“Thank you.”

Diane left. He was getting hints about his swordsmanship. When he got up, Artlan also got up.

“You are getting better, but you are still far from completing your training. You don’t have your own aroma yet.”

“I know.”

“Let’s begin.”

Junhyuk launched himself toward Artlan again.
