Absolute Regression

Who will share the 258th swordsmanship story?

After leaving Cheonmajeon, I headed to Bukcheon Sword House.

Why suffer alone when you have someone to talk to about swordsmanship?

Yes, this is my way. If you don’t know, ask and talk about something else until you realize it. If you don’t know, just play around.

This time, I plan to make up for my neglect of Ilhwa Geomzon because I was busy with various cases due to other Magons.

It is the return of a non-mu friend who left home.

In the meantime, just as there was a change for me, there was a change for Ilhwa Geomzon as well.

When I arrived at the Ilhwa Sword Zone Mo-ok of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family, I was surprised.

Her pills had changed. The small house that used to be has now been transformed into a large mansion.

The yard got bigger, and the flower garden she grew was also bigger.

The only thing that didn’t change was Ilhwa Geomzon’s beautiful appearance that still goes back to his age. She welcomed me warmly.

“Mr. Xiao, welcome back.”

“How have you been?”

“I’m always the same.”

“Home has changed.”

Ilhwa Geomzon followed me, looked around, and smiled calmly.

“I tried to change the atmosphere.”

In the past, Mook was a house to show to others. I am a noble person who escapes worldly desires and walks only the path of nothingness.

And now she is shedding the pretense and showing her honest desires. Why did I change my mind?

“You must be busy these days. What are you doing?”

“I came because I wanted to meet Geomzon.”

“Welcome, come on in.”

I followed Ilhwa Geomzon into the house. The inside of the house was richly decorated.

“Can I take a look? “These days, I’m also very interested in decorating my room.”

“Please take a look.”

I slowly looked around the room. The furniture and decorations were gorgeous and luxurious. There was no need to hide the amount of money spent on decorating the interior.

“It’s really cool.”

Then something caught my eye.

‘This?’

What was on the table was a book. It was a collection of poetry and paintings that were on Hyeolcheon Doma’s bookshelf.

Of course, there may be the same book.

However, the reason why one book attracts so much attention is probably because it is about Doma and Geomzon.

“I need to put that cabinet in my room too. “I really like it.”

“I didn’t know that Master Xiao had such a hobby.”

So we looked around the room and sat across from each other on the table.

It was a taste I knew from drinking tea. It was the tea I drank when I went to Hyeolcheon Doma’s house.

“It seems like old man Thomas also drinks this tea.”

“is it?”

Ilhwa Geomzon did not miss the momentary shock. Books and cars, too.

‘These people!’

I laughed inside. If the book and the car were not a coincidence, there must have been a change in their relationship.

“Wondering why you changed your house?”

“Have you had a change of heart?”

“I thought I wanted to live a little differently.”

I said, looking around again.

“To be honest, this room suits me better now than before. Gorgeous and beautiful.”

“is it?”

Ilhwa Geomzon laughed happily.

Although we are smiling and talking like this, she and I keep a certain distance. A sense of distance that is neither very close nor very far. It’s definitely farther than one step. However, it is not so far that it is inconvenient.

About five steps. In my opinion, this is the distance between Ilhwa Geomzone and me.

“I came to visit you today as a business friend.”

I asked her for a job. Fortunately, she willingly accepted.

“I’m fine. But I don’t know if working with me will be of any help to you.”

“I learn a lot just by watching my senior draw his sword. “If you thought it wouldn’t help, you wouldn’t have told me to help you, right?”

“Can’t you just leave that mouth of yours alone?”

“It’s difficult because there are so many places where my mouth is needed.”

We went out to the training ground.

We stood facing each other from about ten steps away. Her prayer changed as if she had been joking before.

It wasn’t just the house that changed. I felt that her prayers were different from before.

‘You’ve been working hard on your training!’

She was sharpened like a treasured sword. There was a time when the efforts of the Magons were compared to the feet of a swan, and the person who best suited that comparison was Geomzon Ilhwa.

Behind her graceful appearance like a swan, there was an invisible effort.

What made her change like this?

I also revealed my true prayer without hiding it. There was tension on Ilhwageomjon’s face as she looked at me, and her eyes became cold.

Ilhwa Geomzon attacked first.

Easy profit!

A flying sword. I can’t see her. She completely hid herself behind the sword, and the sword and body became one.

The Ilhwa Sword and the Black Magic Sword collided in the air, creating sparks. Dozens of sword lines created by the two swords embroidered the air in an instant and then disappeared.

Even though he lost to me in the previous fight, Geomzon was still Geomzon. In addition, her recently honed training shined and brought this dance to an even higher level.

With our swords flashing, we flew up into the sky together. The demon swords of the Northern Heavenly Sword Family stopped and watched the sword light shining in the air. The sword light shining in the sunlight was truly spectacular.

Chaaaang!

With a final, long clang, we fell to the floor.

Even if you don’t let the sword fly out of your hand or aim it at the opponent’s neck. Geomzon would have known. that he was defeated.

“You are growing endlessly.”

She couldn’t hide her bitter expression. Her training couldn’t keep up with my growth.

I took care of her pride.

“It’s thanks to you for making concessions. “I’ve revealed my bottom line, but don’t you have one last move left?”

All of the Mazons are hiding the one move they will use in the end. The same goes for Ilhwa Geomzone.

“Suzy, I hope you never have to write anything in your life.”

In other words, it meant that it was a secret move that required risking one’s life.

“Let’s go in.”

After coming back inside, we quenched our thirst with cold tea and talked about swordsmanship.

We talked about the dance we performed today. I went one step further. A while ago, I told Ilhwa Geomjon about what I felt after achieving the Twelve Great Masters of Bicheon Sword Technique.

Ilhwa Geomzon listened to me and asked if I had any questions.

If you have the skill level of a sword master, you will understand. How sincerely I am saying this. It is the essence of martial arts that you will never do to someone who is not dear to you.

Ilhwa Geomzon’s face became increasingly red.

When I finished speaking, she ran out to the training ground.

“wait for a sec! “Please wait a moment.”

She swung her sword alone in the middle of the training hall.

Then he suddenly stopped sharpening his sword and became lost in thought. He swung his sword again and stopped.

She had an epiphany. Through conversation with myself, I found a way to overcome the wall that I could not overcome by practicing alone.

After becoming a mazon, he must have trained alone for a very long time. And he walked alone and met me at the end of a blocked road.

After swinging her sword in the training hall for a while, she came back feeling refreshed.

“Isn’t the reason you came to see me because you wanted to gain insight into swordsmanship from me?”

“you’re right. To be honest, my sword skills are at a standstill these days.”

“But why are you teaching me martial arts?”

I calmly prayed and spoke with dignity.

“Because you will be my Majon from now on.”

I spoke calmly to the woman who was staring at me in silence.

“Besides that reason, there are two more reasons.”

“Two things?”

“First of all, I believe that once Geomjon breaks through the limit, that enlightenment will come back to me. “Aren’t we business friends?”

she asked, nodding.

“The second reason is?”

“Senior, you are the only one among the Mazon who uses a sword, right? Geomjon is the only person I can talk about swordsmanship with. You probably know your father’s personality well. Who should I learn swordsmanship from? Who will I influence? “I only have Geomzonnim.”

Of the three reasons, this seems to have touched her the most. Passion flashed through her.

“So, I should have visited you first and visited you most often…”

I said honestly.

“I thought Geomjon would always remain the same. It’s a selfish and bad feeling. “You have to take care of good people first.”

Then Ilhwa Geomzon spoke in a somewhat self-deprecating voice.

“I’m not that good of a person. Maybe it was something I took care of in the right order…”

A certain regret flashed through her eyes.

We didn’t say anything for a while, each lost in our thoughts.

Not necessarily in this situation. Geomzon is a good person. I didn’t offer this kind of obvious consolation.

This is what I needed to say now.

“Can I come again tomorrow?”

Ilhwa Geomzon nodded with an expression that said it would be okay to come not just tomorrow, but for the rest of his life.

* * *

“Since when do you say you liked flowers?”

Despite Hyeolcheondoma’s words, I continued to look at the flower pot placed by the window.

“It looks like an odd flower.”

On the way back to my residence, I stopped by Hyeolcheon Doma, and there was something I had never seen before, placed by the window. It was a flower pot with flowers planted in it. If I had come here first, I would have thought that Hyeolcheondoma was just a living flower.

“What on earth is going on in the head of someone who looks at flowers and says they’re ugly?”

“Where did the flower come from?”

“Someone gave it to me.”

When I gave Ilhwa Geomzon a book and tea as a gift, it was clear that Ilhwa Geomzon gave me a flower pot as a gift. Or vice versa.

‘The hobby type is amazing!’

It seems that Chwima’s efforts to reconcile the two have finally paid off.

“Who?”

“Someone I know gave it to me.”

“So who?”

“It’s noisy to read a book.”

Until the end, Hyeolcheondoma did not say that Ilhwa Geomzon had given it to him. I didn’t ask further. I had a hard time holding back the jokes.

How good would it be now? It’s not anyone else, it’s Ilhwa Geomjon. We exchange gifts while resolving past misunderstandings and conflicts.

Let’s be patient and make fun of it later.

“Stop looking at me! “If you fire the sword incorrectly, the flower dies.”

If I do that, it might kill me.

Daeryong, the flower pots here are more precious than the flower pots in the office. If you fail while training, you will have to undergo training in hell for at least a year.

“I’m leaving.”

“Why are you leaving already?”

“I’m currently training in hell these days. “I’m probably the hardest worker in the school.”

“I even became the head of a small church. “Why are you working so hard to enjoy more wealth and fame?”

Since the relationship has completely changed from before the return, if I die, all the mazons will also die. Will Hyeolcheon Doma just watch while I’m dying?

That’s why. To save everyone.

‘I’m doing this so I can jump into hell, too.’

Let our seniors enjoy that wealth and glory. In his later years, he happily traveled around the central region with Geomzon and Oh Sun-do-soon.

* * *

The next day, I had another meeting with Ilhwa Geomzon.

Her eyes were a little bloodshot, as if she hadn’t slept all night.

“I had a hard time sleeping yesterday because of training.”

It seems like he worked all night long to turn yesterday’s realization into a skill.

I had a chat with her again. Since we knew each other’s moves, we began to use more and more powerful moves, and towards the end, we made moves that were almost reminiscent of actual battles.

After finishing the team dance, we talked about what we fought today. Because the aspects of the fight were similar, most of what we talked about yesterday overlapped, but we shared it as if it were our first time talking.

As we talked, it sometimes spread into new stories. I talked about my childhood sword training and even learned how to grow flowers.

I went the next day and the day after that. I went with the intention of seeing everything I hadn’t seen before. I was so sick of it that I went with the intention of going until I was told to stop.

The aspect of the dance was similar, but we were feeling a change.

Even though it was the same herbivorous diet, the speed was different and the force involved was different. Some days were fast and some days were slow. The opportunity to freely test one’s swordsmanship like this did not come easily.

And this morning.

I used the Guhwamagong Jeilchosik destruction method.

Saaaaaaaaaaa!

The sound was different.

Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly! Suddenly!

I was surprised and ran to see that the wooden doll had been broken into exactly four pieces.

“done!”

Finally, he succeeded in making sword energy fly from four directions at the same time.

It seems that the dance and conversation with Geomzon helped in some way.

From that day on, I devoted myself even more to my training.

I had a desire. I want to see the appearance of a small demon at the extermination ceremony. That desire led me to extreme efforts.

We made sure to stop by Geomzon once a day to dance and talk about martial arts.

If someone was watching us, they would think we were doing the same thing over and over again, but it wasn’t the same.

We grew through the power of repetition.

As Geomzone grew, I also grew. Geomzon grew under my influence, and I received back the influence of Geomzon that grew. We were burning with the heat unique to those who use swords.

And our relationship also changed.

“The reason I changed my house is because of Senior Doma.”

She revealed her honest feelings.

“These days, I’m trying to get along well, forgetting about the past grievances with Senior Doma. During that process, I thought a lot about the past. At that time, I liked flashy and pretty things. That was me. While I was thinking about that, I suddenly changed it spontaneously. “It’s a shame, but it wasn’t something I changed after much thought.”

It must have been a longing for the past when I was young. Those are the days that I really want to go back to.

“Well done. “If I miss Mo-ok later, I’ll change it again.”

“Wouldn’t that make me look like a very foolish person?”

“I guess I’ll be seen as someone with a free spirit?”

Ilhwa Geomjon smiled cheerfully, saying, “Okay, I’m not at the age where I live without worrying about what other people think.” It was the moment when I realized that the distance between us had changed from five steps to three steps.

Meanwhile, my training continued.

I trained day and night. One day when destruction was repeated countless times.

Sigh!

The sound of the destruction ceremony changed again.

Right at that moment!

I saw a black figure cutting off the head of a wooden doll.

‘at las!’

One of the four demons has appeared.
