I Have Come To End This Fight

Episode 71. stimulus (4)

A space filled with pure white light.

Standing in it was a towering giant wall and a girl holding a spear.

Puff- Puff- Puff-.

Thearesia hurled her spear at the wall without stopping.

The wall in front of me was already full of traces left by her for a long time.

A wall full of tens of thousands of holes, like a giant beehive.

Puff- Puff- Puff-.

Thearesia was puzzled as she pointed her spear at the wall.

‘I am… I was in training?’

Puff- Puff- Puff-.

At the same time, she realized

‘ah… It’s a dream.’

It was a lucid dream.

A dream that recognizes itself as a dream.

However, such cognition soon faded, and puzzling took over the brain.

‘Is it a dream? Or is it real?’

Thearesia was confused.

Is this a dream now?

Or are you training in real life?

How long have you been doing this?

everything was unclear.

So she gave up on the idea.

‘… It doesn’t matter.’

What does it have to do with dreamers and real people?

I’ve always been through the window.

Even in reality.

Even in a dream.

Thearesia was so obsessed with throwing a spear that the boundary between the two worlds collapsed.

There was only one reason.

To break down the wall right in front of your eyes.

Puff- Puff- Puff-.

For just that one thing, the spear was inserted without rest.

And finally.

hook-.

Damn-!

The egg-shaped wall collapsed like a beehive.

Pusluck-.

Thearesia’s eyes, which were the eyes of a rotten fish, momentarily lighted as she watched the gigantic wall turn into a fist-sized stone and collapse.

‘ah!’

it was a delight

The thrill of finally breaking down a wall.

In response, Thearesia slowly walked forward.

Fall through the rising dust.

Overcome the wall that has been blocking you until now.

one step.

two steps.

and three steps.

When exactly three steps are taken.

The dust that was thick all over the place settled down and my vision became clear.

What came out with him was… … .

‘ah… … .’

It was another wall.

A clean wall, not the one that was demolished just a moment ago.

And higher, thicker walls.

After one wall was demolished, another wall blocked Thearesia’s path.

As always.

‘… … .’

Thearesia’s eyes, which were filled with joy, soon turned into the eyes of a rotten fish.

She rolled up her spear.

‘again… … .’

trudging-.

Thearesia, who walked in front of the wall without saying a word, started firing her spear again.

As always.

Puff- Puff- Puff-.

Yuri tilted her head at the unbelievable story and asked.

“deformed child?”

“There were many nicknames besides that. crippled, inferior, etc. Seeing as the Winchester family is a well-known family, it’s the fact that people, you and I, have been slammed into a controversy that has erupted in a long time.”

“Wait a minute, that cripple is somewhere in the body uncomfortable… Are you talking about that person?”

“Yes, that cripple.”

“Thearesia Winchester seems too fine to say that?”

Although they hadn’t seen each other in a long time, Thearesia never showed any sign of discomfort.

Didn’t he look healthier and stronger than others?

He was not a person who could be called deformed or crippled.

To Yuri’s question, John immediately answered.

“As expected, every nook and cranny of my body has already been… … .”

“… Inspiration, say one more word.”

Arrr-.

“Even if I have to break every bone, I will bite and hang like a dog.”

“Hum-hum, yeo, anyway! It is true that the nickname the Winchester family used to call that child was a deformed child.”

“Is he fine?”

“Tsk, it looks fine.”

“then… … ?”

“He was a child who shouldn’t have been born in the Mu family.”

“… What do you mean?”

“Do you know how fame dwells in a family?”

“What kind of nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Because the forces are strong? do you have a lot of money? Do you have great magic tricks? Of course, they are not without their influence. But what makes a famous house called a famous house is… It is bloodline.”

Yu-Ri’s face still didn’t know, and Yohan slowly continued his explanation.

“To be precise, it means that talent passed down from generation to generation through bloodline creates a prestigious family.”

“ah… … .”

building power.

raising money.

learning martial arts.

Talent was inevitably important because everything was done by people.

And, if you are a descendent of a family that has risen to the ranks of the elite through martial arts, you will naturally have an excellent talent for mastering horsemanship.

It was a very natural sound.

But the obvious thing… … .

It was not natural for Thearesia.

“As you progress, you inevitably encounter a wall. Whether the level is shallow or high, you have to climb over or destroy the wall to move on to the next one. And the so-called geniuses have an absurdly low wall compared to others.”

The wall that geniuses face is not simply low.

Of course, it is thin and easy to break. If others walk 10 steps to face a wall, geniuses walk 100 or 1,000 steps to face a wall.

It is natural that growth is fast because there is no blockage like that.

However, Thearesia was in a different situation.

“That Thearesia child… They say you have a constitution that often gets blocked by walls.”

“Is that possible?”

“If there is a genius, it is only natural that there is a dunjae. Then surely there are people who bump into walls more often than others, right?”

“… I guess so.”

“Well, it doesn’t mean that Thearesia’s child is Dunjae. If you look at just the basic qualities, they say it’s definitely excellent. However, the problem was that compared to Jininba’s talent, he met the wall bizarrely often.”

It wasn’t just facing a lot of walls.

Thearesia’s walls were taller and thicker than others.

If you want to break and overcome, you have to spend several times more time and effort than others.

“In the samurai family, where the talent for mastering martial arts is valued, that child’s bizarre constitution… It’s like a heavenly punishment. That is why they are called cripples and deformities.”

Looking at the speechless Yuri, Yohan slowly continued to speak.

“Think about it. Even if you start out the same, even if you advance to the same stage, you move forward without even facing a single wall, one step at a time.”

“… … .”

“But that Thearesia child catches up to the distance you covered in just one step… You run into 10, 100, or more walls.”

Yuri asked cautiously.

“then… What will happen?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”

No, Yuri knew.

Even though I knew it, I was just asking to confirm.

Are your thoughts correct?

John, who noticed this, gave an answer in a calm voice.

“It is these people at the bottom who have been blocked by a wall and tearing their hair out in frustration for years or even decades. Even those who go crazy due to deep frustration often come out. Facing that wall several times more than others… For people like you and me, it must be an unimaginable pain.”

“… … .”

“Perhaps if he had been born into a normal family, his punishment would not have been a problem. But the family the child was born in is Winchester. One of the most prestigious samurai, Winchester.”

If Thearesia had given up living as a samurai child, her life might have been a little easier.

However, Thearesia that Yuri saw was not giving up.

If I had given up, I wouldn’t have entered the cradle.

Even if he fainted, he would not have devoted himself to training so frantically that he would throw a spear.

“ah… … !”

Yuri let out a short sigh.

His face darkened slightly.

‘… I see.’

he just realized

Feeling frustrated and annoyed at seeing Thearesia fainting.

What is the cause of that unpleasant feeling?

that’s right… … .

‘aversion.’

It was self-loathing.

‘Thearesia, that person… … .’

Her skills were never lacking even compared to her current self.

And that was the result of Thearesia’s hard work, under the punishment of heaven.

She survived the Yellow Dragon Crew purely through her own efforts.

He pushed himself endlessly and achieved the achievement of being the chief of the 49th class.

Still, she did not rest.

Didn’t Thearesia start training right away even though the sparring was over?

And he even pushed himself to the point of losing his mind and devoted himself to training.

But, how was he?

‘When was the last time you trained so intensely?’

After entering the Forest of Beginnings, he had never practiced training like that.

‘Did I not have enough time to practice?’

Nor was it.

I could have done anything to do it.

No, if I reduced the amount of time I slept, I would have been able to continue my training no matter how busy I was.

Didn’t Yuri also live that kind of life before entering the forest of beginnings?

That’s why we were able to grow quickly.

But only this morning.

[Couldn’t I just relax for once?]

I thought so while walking through the woods.

At this, Yuri laughed at herself.

‘Can’t I just relax? what about me? What did I do?’

By taking fifteen steps in a hundred steps ceremony?

By making the Sword Master come down from his throne?

‘that… Didn’t I accomplish it?’

His limit was only ten steps.

With that alone, the Sword Master did not look back at himself.

What made me take 15 steps after that.

The one who made the Sword Master come down from his throne and come before him.

All of that was thanks to the demon created by Yohan, not himself.

‘But I was conceited as if I had accomplished it all by myself.’

It was because he realized that fact after seeing Thearesia, who had fainted.

Even though I realized it in my heart, it was too late to understand it with my head, so I felt frustrated and annoyed at the gap.

‘Thearesia senior… … .’

I thought about it again,

I wonder what Thearesia must have felt as she was born in a samurai family and suffered such a punishment.

And what kind of efforts did she make until now after entering the cradle with the Yellow Dragon.

‘Jerry said that, it wasn’t long before Thearesia-senpai stood out.’

Until then, she would have been no different from the other Yellow Dragons.

And her bloody, sweaty efforts that have been accumulated step by step must have only recently come to light.

‘… Thearesia Winchester.’

It was a first for Yuri.

Feeling envious of someone’s ‘effort’.

And I felt ashamed of my efforts.

Also, on the other hand, my heart was beating so strangely.

From nob le mt l dot com

My body was itching to start training right now.

John stared blankly at the speechless glass.

‘hmm?’

The colorful eyes of Yuri aroused Yohan’s interest.

‘Something must have happened with a child named Thearesia.’

Apparently, something in Thearesia had stimulated Yuri.

Because one of those colorfully changing eyes was a sense of self-righteousness.

And that fact, John thought, was not too bad.

No, it was rather good.

‘To Yuri, the existence of a competitor… They won’t show up soon.’

Just like he did, this guy will stand alone in the competition with his peers and run.

After that, Yuri will become a target for other children to catch up with, but she will always continue to fight against herself alone in the lead.

That’s why it was a very valuable experience for Yuri to be able to get something stimulated by peers.

‘Then I’ll have to let that valuable experience be used more preciously.’

John smiled inwardly.
