Became a childhood friend of the mid-boss (15)
The main house of Shingeom Taoism, the study on the second floor of the main building.
However, it was only a study in appearance, and in reality, it was nothing more than an entertainment venue to relieve boredom.
Most of the people attending the dinner party were gathered there and enjoying the entertainment.
“Great! I won it again!”
“Oh, I really told you to stop taking it. “Don’t we have to make a living too?”
“Let’s go have a smoke.”
“Are there any drinks a little stronger than this?”
These people get excited and make frivolous noises while gambling at the baccarat table.
People who proudly smoke cigarettes or cigars and spread the smoke around them.
Even though the dinner party has not started, they continue to drink strong drinks at the bar in the corner of the study.
And so on.
“… .”
In the study, I could see people intoxicated by the pleasure of the moment.
“Ugh, the smell of cigarettes… .”
“Those people are really… “Why are you smoking indoors?”
Do Gyeon-woo’s mother, Ji-ae Han, entered the study and immediately frowned when she smelled cigarettes.
Do Sang-jun glanced at the people smoking on one side and immediately cast a protective spell on her.
Then the smoke escaped her.
“You don’t smell it anymore?”
“Yes, after all, it’s only me.”
Han Ji-ae’s eye corners were rounded.
Do Sang-jun grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to his side.
The corners of his mouth were also drawn into an arc.
“Then shall we go meet some people?”
“The second uncle is over there, and the second brother is over there.”
“Okay, since the eldest brother hasn’t arrived yet, let’s go meet the second brother first.”
Soon the two went around to show their faces to those who maintained a friendly relationship with them.
They greeted the two people warmly and gave them a seat.
Of course, I didn’t forget to pay attention.
“I know that the relationship between the two is good, but if the west side of the province is next to the east side, we can’t talk about everything among ourselves.”
“That’s right, your husband won’t be criticized if you’re not there. “It’s hard to become friends like this.”
“haha… . is that so?”
Do Sang-jun did not know the intention of what they said while laughing.
This means leaving Han Ji-ae alone.
But it couldn’t be done.
‘How do you know what will happen to Ji-ae while I’m away?’
It was a few years ago.
Han Ji-ae was once severely insulted when she tried to interact with the women of the Shinken Taoist school to help him.
There is no basis for saying this, and she is a woman who found a good husband simply because she has a good face.
At that time, he knew that she was hurt by those words and cried bitterly when she came home, so he couldn’t leave her alone.
“I’m sorry, because of me…” .”
“Why are you sorry? “Why don’t we go over there and have a quick drink?”
Anyway, everyone who needed to see it must have seen it.
He decided to spend time together to comfort her, who was depressed.
It was then.
“Sangjun, it’s been a while. How are you?”
“… .”
I didn’t want to get into trouble so I didn’t pretend to know until now.
Do Sang-jun’s third brother, Do Beom-jun, spoke first.
“Yeah, it’s been a while. Why did you come?”
Do Seung-woo’s father.
Not long ago, he found out that Do Seung-woo had been constantly harassing his son, and he was an unpleasant partner.
I couldn’t help but feel that emotion coming out of my voice.
Then Do Beom-jun smiled bitterly.
“We ended it over the phone, but I still think we need to meet in person. “I warned Seungwoo not to do that again.”
“… .”
“Now that the kid has heard something, he won’t try to bother Gyeonwoo anymore. But Gyeonwoo says he’s okay?”
“My son is doing well without his brother worrying, so I don’t worry about him.”
“If that’s the case, I’m glad. “I was worried that what Seung-woo did might have been traumatic for Gyeon-woo’s personality.”
“… .”
“If you have to go to the hospital because of that, tell me. I will introduce you to a doctor who is knowledgeable in that area. Anyway, I feel sorry about Seungwoo. “I’ll apologize on your behalf.” Do Beom-jun suddenly held out his hand.
It meant that we shouldn’t argue about this anymore and that we should make peace at this point.
“Huh, really. what? apologize?”
However, Do Sang-jun had no intention of accepting Do Beom-jun’s apology.
He snorted, slapped his hand away, and glared at Do Beom-jun.
“If you’re going to apologize, tell Gyeonwoo to do it in person. “It’s not like my brother will take your place in a formal way.”
“now… “What are we going to do?”

“Don’t sneakily give the baby water. “What are you doing, brother?”
It was a gathering of family members.
Do Sang-jun did not know that they were each pretending to focus on what they were doing on the outside and were secretly eavesdropping on the conversation.
And that Do Beom-jun intended it to spread friction between Do Seung-woo and Do Gyeon-woo and to disparage Do Gyeon-woo.
Do Sang-jun, who knew that, couldn’t help but feel angry.
“If that’s your answer, there’s nothing we can do. I have nothing to say. “If you need my help later, please contact me.”
“I know that’s because I won’t be able to get any help from you.”
However, no matter how Do Sang-jun felt, Do Beom-jun turned his back and said that he had done everything he could.
And just as I was about to leave… .
“Do Beom-jun serve load!”
While the eyes of those in the study were implicitly focused on the two people.
A man wearing a Regulus Clan uniform entered the study and looked for Do Beom-jun.
“… “You mean that’s true?”
The man who appeared to be Do Beom-jun whispered something to him.
Soon his expression changed.
‘What’s going on?’
Do Sang-jun got a bad feeling from his mocking gaze.
That premonition was not wrong.
Do Beom-jun raised his voice as if everyone around him could hear.
“I guess you plan to resolve this matter between the parties involved?”
“What are you talking about?”
“For some reason, my son and your son are sparring at the training ground?”
“Gyeonwoo… “Sparring?”
“From what I heard, it seems that Gyeon-woo challenged Seung-woo to spar first. “I wonder if the Gyeonwoo I know is like that, but the information can’t be wrong.”
“… .”
“Well, now that I think about it, Gyeonwoo is also a person of the Shinken Taoist school, so there is nothing to think strange about it. You have to know how to protect your own face. “It looks like he was also the child of a lion.” Do Gyeon-woo is fighting with Do Seung-woo.
Do Sang-jun was astonished when Do Beom-jun shook his shoulders and mocked him.
I told him not to cause an accident, but he ended up causing an accident.
‘Why did I feel bad… .’
Do Sang-jun was depressed.
Having seen Do Gyeon-woo’s skills before, he was no longer worried about Do Gyeon-woo’s skills.
“… .”
The problem is that we don’t know what Gyeonwoo, whose personality has recently changed, will do.
Do Sang-jun was very worried.
I am the one who has to clean up what Do Gyeon-woo did.
His complexion gradually darkened.
“why? “Are you worried?”
Do Beom-jun misunderstood the reason why his complexion changed.
He laughed, sarcastically, and spoke to others.
“If we go now, we can see Dalian. It was good because I was bored. “Is there anyone who wants to go and watch Seung-woo and Gyeon-woo spar?”
“Oh, that’s great!”
Do Beom-jun elicited a positive response.
Several people got up, starting with the one who was very drunk.
It was obvious that it was his trick.
This is a plan to reduce Do Gyeon-woo’s influence by making their sparring public.
Of course, that trick was only possible if Do Gyeon-woo lost.
“Everyone says they’re going, but aren’t you going to see Sangjun?”
“… “I have to go, too.”
“Well thought out. “I know how you feel, but you two said you would resolve it on your own, so let’s not get involved.”
“… .”
“I’m just saying let’s end this sparring. “You know what I mean, right?”
“Okay, don’t forget that.”
“Don’t pretend to be strong.”
At that point, Do Sang-jun decided to just give up thinking.
The problem had become so large that there was no way he could fix it.
On the other hand, he was annoyed at Do Beom-jun for ignoring his son.
‘It’s a good thing.’
In a way, this was an opportunity.
If the thoughts of the family members are reversed and Do Gyeon-woo defeats Do Seung-woo, Do Gyeon-woo’s evaluation will rise significantly.
It wasn’t something to be completely upset about.
So he tried to leave the study, following the others.
Of course, he didn’t forget to take care of Han Ji-ae.
Do Sang-jun called her who was away while talking to Do Beom-jun.
“You go too. Good thing to see… huh?”
“Seung-woo bullied Gyeon-woo?”
And he froze in his seat.
“What on earth do you mean? Why does it feel like I’m hearing this for the first time?”
“Now, baby…” .”
“I think you knew.”
Han Ji-ae was smiling.
But smiling wasn’t laughing.
To survive, Do Sang-jun instinctively called her by her nickname, but it had no effect.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
I’m dead.
Do Sang-jun trembled in fear.
* * *
Do Seung-woo, a gifted swordsman of Taoism.
He still clearly remembered memories from the past several years ago.
―It seems that if you teach one thing, you can teach ten things, and you know how to sensuously perform the beast king style.
-thank you!
Before Do Seung-woo was called a genius.
At that time, the person who received the family’s expectations was not him, but Do Gyeon-woo, who was the same age.
He was so good at swordsmanship that he was once highly praised by his grandfather, the head of the family.
Maybe that’s why he was active and confident at the time, unlike now.
―Huh, a child like that was born… .
―You’ve already mastered the breathing technique?
-There is no such thing as a prodigy.
If Do Seung-woo was an acquired talent, achieved through hard work.
Do Gyeon-woo was a born genius.
There was a difference in their talents.
The difference was enormous, a gap that could not be easily bridged.
It was like despair for Do Seung-woo, who had to compare and compete with him all his life because they were of the same generation and age.
-Why can’t you even do that! Since he was born as my son, how can I not even catch up to half of him!?
Starting with a competition between direct lineages, who must learn the basics of Suwangryu and show it to their family members for the first time.
Do Seung-woo was often compared to him and had to receive a harsh reprimand from his parents.
-You can do it. Should be.
-Are you still able to sleep?
-You bastard, that’s all you can do!?
-You are really my son!?
My memories of that time were just terrible.
Do Seung-woo was dragged around by his father, so he had to sleep less and try to somehow overcome Do Gyeon-woo.
Nevertheless, no matter how hard he tried, he could not defeat Do Gyeon-woo.
The more I thought about it, the more I hated Do Gyeon-woo.
―If only you, if only you weren’t there… .
I wouldn’t be doing this.
Do Seung-woo swallowed his resentment against him and gave in to evil.
In fact, Do Seung-woo also knew.
Do Gyeon-woo did nothing wrong.
Nevertheless, Do Seung-woo could not bear to blame his parents, and on the other hand, he could not blame his own talent.
If you resented them, it was like your existence was being denied.
Therefore, in order to protect himself, he unconsciously blamed Do Gyeon-woo.
I hated, resented, and hated.
It was a distorted sense of self.
The incident occurred at that exact time.
―S, Seungwoo!
In the evaluation match where the first sparring took place.
Do Seung-woo began to spar with Do Gyeon-woo as if fate had some evil intentions.
Sparring using wooden swords.
In that sparring, he was injured by Do Gyeon-woo’s attack.
-Uh, what should I do? Blood… .
Do Gyeon-woo was young and immature.
He could not perfectly judge how dangerous the attack he swung was and how much damage it would cause to the opponent.
What I simply understood in my head was different from seeing it with my own eyes.
Do Gyeon-woo didn’t know what to do as his sword caused Do Seung-woo’s elbow to bleed.
-this!
On the other hand, Do Seung-woo was cool-headed.
He immediately dug into the gap.
Do Gyeon-woo did not respond properly. He only focused on blocking the attack and did not try to attack anymore.
As a result.
―… won
Do Seung-woo won for the first time.
When he came to his senses later, Do Gyeon-woo was underneath him.
-Stop it now… .
―… .
Raise both arms to protect your face and scream.
Do Gyeon-woo, who was praised as a prodigy by his family, was pleading.
At that moment, Do Seung-woo felt a strange sense of pleasure and satisfaction while looking at Do Gyeon-woo.
after that.
-I thought he was a prodigy, but he’s no different from other kids.
-Everyone is a genius when they are young. I knew it would be like this.
―A commoner’s child is like that, isn’t it?
Do Gyeon-woo is no longer a genius.
The family members mocked him as if they were waiting for his downfall.
Then he was called Rabbit and ended up in the same situation he is now.
And from that point on, Seung-Woo Do raised his evaluation.
―You can’t even kill a rabbit, so you’re really sick✕?
Do Seung-woo touched Do Gyeon-woo.
Do Seung-woo, who gained a mental upper hand over him, let out all the emotions he had been suppressing.
-Well, don’t talk like that.
―If you say it that way, then what?
-uh?
-What are you going to do? What, fight?
―… .
―I’m fine, fight. Let’s stick together again. I’ll beat you up like I did then.
Do Gyeon-woo couldn’t say anything.
He completely surrendered to Do Seung-woo.
-Crawl on your own from now on.
―… .
A coward who is extremely afraid of harming others.
To Do Seung-woo, Do Gyeon-woo could no longer be his competitor.
However, the existence of Do Gyeon-woo itself stimulated feelings of inferiority in the past.
No, he was unconsciously afraid of Do Gyeon-woo.
‘It’s trying to climb!’
Could it be that Do Gyeon-woo overcomes his weakness and returns to his childhood?
At the same time, I wonder if my position will be shaken and I will end up living a life of being compared to Do Gyeon-woo again.
Seung-Woo Do had this assumption, secretly and unconsciously.
so that… .
‘I will trample on you so cruelly that you will never be able to challenge me again.’
He planned to defeat Do Gyeon-wu in front of the family members and reduce his influence to the ground.
But things turned out differently.
“… !?”
As if reading his thoughts, Do Gyeon-woo dodged the attack.
‘Nonsense! How on earth… .’
Do Seung-woo couldn’t understand.
Every time his sword seemed to reach him, it just narrowly grazed him and whipped around in the air.
Then came his attack.
Each time, Do Seung-woo hurriedly brought the sword that was swinging in the air and blocked it.
Ting!
Sword and sword clashed.
It was at that time that I made eye contact with Do Gyeon-woo, who was moving quickly.
Do Seung-woo glared at Do Gyeon-woo.
Do Gyeon-woo’s gaze was indifferent.
‘What are those eyes?’
A look that seems like there is nothing to see.
Do Seung-woo felt an inexplicable discomfort from his gaze.
No, it was a manifestation of inferiority complex.
The inferiority complex that had been hidden all this time came rushing out upon seeing Do Gyeon-woo’s eyes.
‘This bastard…’ !’
Don’t ignore me.
Do Seung-woo gritted his teeth and held back the words that came out.
He struck away Tao Gyeon-wu’s sword and immediately assumed the posture of a beast king.
At that moment, Do Gyeon-woo also responded.
He put one foot back in the direction Do Seung-woo was swinging.
Mana dwelled in his sword body.
lion iron piece
In the world seen by Do Seung-woo.
The sword he wielded flew from right to left towards Do Gyeon-woo.
The strike, like an iron whip, curves and aims at Do Gyeon-woo’s side.
──!!
Dogyeonwu holds the sword in a counter-vertical direction with the tip pointing toward the floor.
The grip position changes as the right hand on top of the handle moves down and the left hand on the bottom moves up.
therefore… .
Lion iron armor.
Activate the mana circuit in your lower body and hold your feet firmly so that they do not fall off the ground.
A defensive method that activates the mana circuits in both arms and sends shock down the lower body and onto the ground.
It was a type 2 swordsmanship that was easy to learn, but quite difficult.
It was almost like giving flesh in exchange for bones.
In fact, the second type was a sword technique that was used to advance into other types of defense.
“Tsk… !”
However, Do Gyeon-woo unfolded his lion armor and blocked the attack.
Do Seung-woo clicked his tongue in frustration.
Yukchambone (肉斬骨斷).
If Dogyeonwu had given away his flesh like this, then it was his turn to take his own bones.
‘The attack formula that can be followed from the lion armor… .’
Do Seung-woo quickly made up his mind.
A situation where you may face a counterattack.
His mind calculated the number of cases more extraordinarily than ever before.
There were two cases that were derived in this way.
‘Type 3 Lion Cheolpyeon.’
And type 4 lion acupuncture.
It was the only attack method that Do Gyeon-woo could use in this situation.
‘Which one?’
Do Seung-woo observed Do Gyeon-woo’s actions and tried to respond accordingly.
At that moment, Do Gyeon-woo moved.
Dogyeonwoo is a beast king type attack type… .
“… “Wow!”
Do Gyeon-woo did not practice swordsmanship.
Instead, he suddenly threw a roundhouse kick, kicking Do Seung-woo in the chest.
After receiving an unexpected attack, he had no choice but to be pushed back.
Immediately after… .
“It’s slow.”
“… !”
The corners of Do Gyeon-woo’s mouth drew an arc.
Do Seung-woo’s face distorted.
After being kicked in the chest and pushed back, he quickly took a stance and tried to defend himself.
however… .
“It’s slow.”
With myself taking a step back.
Do Gyeon-woo steps forward.
Do Gyeon-woo was one step faster.
In an instant, he turned around and struck Do Seung-woo with his sword.
“… !”
A defensive posture must be deployed.
But the thoughts do not follow.
Above all, the body does not follow suit.
Can’t stop it.
This is ridiculous.
deny reality.
However, Do Gyeon-woo’s sword did not stop and fell towards him.
“… “Ugh!”
A strong shock hit the back of my head.
Do Seung-woo tried to withstand the shock.
However, as soon as he took a step, his body lost its balance and collapsed.
Consciousness fades away.
There is no strength in the body.
‘no… .’
Do Seung-woo tried to comfort his lips.
But it didn’t move as planned.
However, both eyes moved despite the situation and captured Do Gyeon-woo at the end of their field of vision.
Soon the vision flipped up and down, and Do Gyeon-woo’s image also turned upside down.
In that state… .
“Sleep well, it was nothing special.”
The corner of Do Gyeon-woo’s mouth was visible.
The words he said as he lifted the corner of his mouth were heard in my fading consciousness.
Eventually, I lost consciousness.
