Episode 36

Chapter 36: Shadow King’s Swiftness (2)

Though Dohyun’s sudden appearance was unexpected, Hwang Hana was initially a bit flustered but soon shook her head.

He had said he would come visit before leaving the facility, so it wasn’t really surprising. Of course, she hadn’t expected him to come just two days after leaving, but considering Dohyun’s personality, she thought it was possible.

Hwang Hana approached Dohyun, who had gotten out of the taxi and arrived in casual clothes, and Dohyun greeted her warmly.

Though he looked quite pleased having obtained the Shadow King’s Swiftness, to anyone watching, his expression showed considerable joy at seeing Hwang Hana, which made her look at him with some puzzlement.

“It hasn’t been that long.”

Since Hwang Hana, who used to speak casually and sternly during her instructor days, was now speaking formally, Dohyun felt a bit unaccustomed to it and answered somewhat awkwardly.

“That’s right.”

“You said you’d come visit, but I didn’t expect you to return after just two days.”

“Well, it just worked out that way.”

“It’s only been two days, but the Training Facility has changed quite a bit.”

“Oh, really?”

Though he had achieved his purpose immediately upon arrival, it felt too awkward to just leave right away, so Dohyun engaged in various small talk with Hwang Hana.

He wondered if much could have changed in just two days, but as Hwang Hana said, he could hear that quite a lot had indeed changed.

First of all, the absence of Dohyun and Jiyuchan was significant.

Hwang Hana also mentioned this point and smiled slightly.

“Some instructors say they miss the old days because it’s become rather quiet after you two left.”

“Haha, it was quite spectacular.”

As Dohyun said this while scratching his head, Hwang Hana couldn’t help but be inwardly amazed as she watched him.

Only two days had passed at most.

‘His movements are different.’

She noticed movements that had changed from before.

Should she say he had become a bit calmer?

The way he used his body and the directions his body faced somehow felt much more efficient, and his movements seemed more agile.

Hwang Hana couldn’t know it, but this was one of the effects of the Shadow King’s Swiftness.

Becoming more efficient and agile in handling one’s body was one of the greatest advantages of the Shadow King’s Swiftness.

To Hwang Hana, who couldn’t know this, it only looked like Dohyun had achieved much greater growth.

Therefore, Hwang Hana found it somewhat incomprehensible.

‘Could someone achieve that level just through training in society, not at the Training Facility?’

Though Hwang Hana thought it was virtually impossible, she wondered if it might be possible for Dohyun.

Wasn’t he a man who had shown several impossible things even while here?

Thinking that it might be entirely possible for Dohyun, she didn’t even feel like asking questions. She could only congratulate Dohyun on his growth.

“I can see you’ve grown even more. You’re truly amazing as always.”

“Ah, thank you. It’s all thanks to you, Instructor.”

“What could I have possibly done? It’s all your talent, Dohyun.”

“Hmm, no. It’s really thanks to Instructor Hwang Hana.”

“…?”

When Dohyun said this sincerely, Hwang Hana tilted her head with a somewhat puzzled expression.

Well, wasn’t that the truth?

He had been able to obtain the Shadow King’s Swiftness thanks to Hwang Hana.

But Hwang Hana, who couldn’t know this, could only be puzzled.

Dohyun added a bit more explanation.

“I referenced Instructor Hwang Hana’s movements a lot.”

Since it wasn’t a lie, when Dohyun said this, Hwang Hana’s eyes subtly changed.

Until now, her gaze had been one of casual acceptance, but since Dohyun had said this much, a competitive spirit sparked in her as she looked at him with some curiosity.

He had referenced her movements a lot.

It would be possible for Dohyun, but should she say she wanted to confirm if it was real?

Therefore, Hwang Hana smiled slyly at this provocation that wasn’t quite a provocation and said to Dohyun.

“Then would it be alright if I tested you?”

A sudden sparring request.

Dohyun smiled and nodded at Hwang Hana’s words.

“Sounds good.”

It was exactly what he had hoped for.

* * *

Lunchtime was a brief rest period.

This time was quite precious for both instructors and trainees alike.

If they didn’t rest sufficiently during this break, they would have to endure a quite tiring afternoon schedule, so it was natural in a way.

Hwang Hana was the same, but as if she couldn’t miss this opportunity, she arrived at the Sparring Hall with Dohyun, and both of them picked up and gripped iron training daggers.

Though they didn’t contain aura, they were training tools made of iron that could definitely cause injuries.

But as if unconcerned, both held daggers and faced each other. Both Hwang Hana and Dohyun took their stances with daggers held in reverse grip in their left hands and daggers held properly in their right hands raised up.

Very clean stances with no unnecessary elements to be found.

Both were glaring at each other in stances so identical and flawless that they could be called the same.

‘The stance is identical.’

Hwang Hana thought this as she looked at Dohyun, while Dohyun, on the other hand.

‘Oh, so this is the Shadow King’s Swiftness?’

He was directly feeling the Shadow King’s Swiftness and realizing its greatness.

Though it wasn’t as fluid as movements that seemed to skip processes, it was more efficient than anything else, making the movements themselves feel incredibly natural and clean.

After feeling that sensation, Dohyun thought he could use it much better, and the various skills he possessed were being demonstrated.

The Sword King’s Intuition helped the Dark King’s Swiftness to draw the sword path more clearly in his mind, compensating for the weaknesses that both were difficult to unleash with his current abilities, allowing him to mimic movements similar to Hwang Hana’s, while the Monarch’s Dignity emanated between them, filling in the remaining deficiencies.

Even at a glance, it wasn’t the level of an ordinary Hunter, so Hwang Hana also showed a rather serious expression. Dohyun and Hwang Hana’s eyes met for a moment, and without anyone going first, they both moved simultaneously.

Whoosh——!!

Even the sound of kicking off the ground and rushing toward each other rang out simultaneously, creating a surround-sound effect as if it were one sound. Just before Dohyun and Hwang Hana closed the distance toward each other, they simultaneously threw their daggers quickly from their hands as if swinging them.

Whiiing——!!

Similarly, the simultaneous sound of cutting through the air rang out like surround sound from different places, but since it was simultaneous and the exact same sound, after the echoing sound was heard, the daggers rushed toward each other.

Claaang——!!

The daggers bounced off each other, sparking in mid-air.

Dohyun’s dagger bounced toward Hwang Hana, while conversely, Hwang Hana’s dagger bounced toward Dohyun.

The rapidly spinning daggers flew toward their faces like invisible fan blades, but both of them moved their arms casually without concern, each able to catch the other’s dagger.

Thwack!

Again with the simultaneous sound, without even checking the daggers gripped in both hands, they first swung the daggers in their right hands, and large sparks flew up between Hwang Hana and Dohyun.

Clang clang clang clang——!

Both showed movements that transcended human capability even without using mana, and naturally, Hwang Hana had more leeway.

It was natural since she originally possessed much higher abilities, but even so, Hwang Hana’s eyes narrowed as she had to look at Dohyun.

While thrusting forward with the dagger held properly, stabbing and swinging, the dagger in his left hand held in reverse grip was quickly launching attacks, intertwining without interfering with the trajectory of his right hand.

Like a saw blade spinning rapidly but constantly changing direction, it was an exchange that even Hwang Hana might momentarily lose track of the movements if she didn’t concentrate.

Clang clang clang clang clang———!!!

Thwack thwack thwack———!!!

Moving their hands quickly at a distance where they could reach each other if they stretched out their arms, throwing daggers even at close range and catching the thrown ones, showing movements like juggling.

Though not choreographed, they moved like watching a well-orchestrated circus, and their hands became so fast they were invisible.

However, only the sparks flying intermittently and the silver trajectories of the daggers remained in the air.

It seemed quite evenly matched, but watching it, Dohyun could feel that she was indeed amazing.

In the midst of countless exchanges, they were rapidly attacking each other, but Dohyun was using every method available.

He was using combat techniques, dagger techniques, and all sorts of passive skills, but even so, it seemed insufficient as he was gradually being pushed back unlike Hwang Hana.

‘She’s really amazing.’

Adding the Dark King’s Swiftness to the Sword King’s Intuition, even the Monarch’s Dignity, using all sorts of overpowered skills, and furthermore.

Even using Analysis, which could be called the ultimate cheat skill, being pushed back slightly was hurting Dohyun’s pride a bit.

The more this happened, the deeper Dohyun’s smile became and his eyes grew larger as if burning, which Hwang Hana saw and honestly couldn’t help but be surprised.

The power derived from those overpowered effects was something even Hwang Hana couldn’t ignore.

Dohyun didn’t know well, but Hwang Hana knew well.

This wasn’t a game, and even though Hwang Hana was a B-rank Hunter, the Hunter world was one where she could be assassinated by an F-rank Hunter if she let her guard down.

That’s why Hwang Hana had no choice but to acknowledge Dohyun’s amazing performance.

‘This person will surpass me someday. And….’

It wouldn’t take very long.

Hwang Hana thought this and became a little envious of Hanalin and Jiyuchan who had formed a party with Dohyun.

Where would you commonly find someone like Dohyun who could surpass you someday? At most, people like Jiyuchan or Hanalin. But those three had gathered to form one party, so she couldn’t help but be envious.

Was that why?

Clack! Shiiiing.

Hwang Hana, who had been fiercely exchanging blows with Dohyun, looked at Dohyun with somewhat subdued eyes and said.

“Let’s stop here for today.”

“Ah….”

Dohyun, who had been quite excited, also let out a sigh as if somewhat disappointed, but what could he do when Hwang Hana said to stop.

Dohyun looked at Hwang Hana and nodded as if understanding.

Still seeming disappointed.

“I was getting quite excited, so it’s disappointing.”

Uncharacteristically for Dohyun, he expressed his inner feelings.

Hwang Hana was also slightly surprised by Dohyun’s words, which she was seeing for the first time, and nodded.

Well, then.

“Next time when you’ve grown to my level, let’s spar again.”

Hwang Hana spoke with a provocative smile, so Dohyun had no choice but to nod.

He had gotten excited, but Hwang Hana might not have. He was somewhat frustrated and his pride was hurt inwardly by that fact, but he accepted it.

However.

“It won’t take long.”

Seeing Dohyun answer spiritedly, Hwang Hana showed a slightly surprised expression and nodded.

“I look forward to that day coming soon.”

Thus, the sparring between Dohyun and Hwang Hana came to an end, and Dohyun returned to his house, promising to meet again next time.

And Hwang Hana, left alone in the Training Facility, looked up at the sky with somewhat clouded eyes and thought to herself.

‘Should I quit the guild?’
