Chapter 71: Reverse Flow? (2)

 

After returning from the dungeon, Dohyun’s party decided to take a day off and spend the third day of D-rank at the dormitory.

 

If it were the original Dohyun, he would have definitely gone hunting even if it was difficult, but today was an exception. Actually, it wasn’t because he was tired or exhausted that he suggested resting. There’s no way Dohyun would rest for such reasons.

 

Naturally, it was because of the new technique.

 

Since the secret manual Teleportation was a secret technique that allowed teleportation once a day with party members, it was natural to learn it as the efficiency would increase much more when all party members mastered it.

 

Since Hanalin and Jiyuchan needed to learn secrets and magic, he told them to take a day to leisurely rest while learning magic and secrets.

 

Even though Jiyuchan had difficulty sensing mana, that was only compared to Dohyun and Hanalin’s level; compared to others, he was overwhelmingly excellent.

 

When Jiyuchan saw the interpreted version of the secret manual Teleportation, he boasted that it was easier than expected and that he would master it within a day before leaving.

 

‘This is boring.’

 

On the other hand, Dohyun, who had already learned both magic and teleportation, was bored with nothing to do.

 

From Dohyun’s perspective, it would have been nice to have a sparring partner, but even without one, he was practicing by throwing mana-made balls into the air and using reverse flow to temporarily stop them or make them go in the opposite direction.

 

But even that became boring quickly, so he soon quit and came outside.

 

He thought about going hunting alone, but while going out was free, he needed party members to re-enter the safe zone, so he didn’t do such a foolish thing.

 

Since Dohyun knew that rest was still necessary, he was pondering when he saw a familiar face who, like him, seemed to have decided to take a break.

 

As expected, the other person also greeted him.

 

“Oh, Minwoo-ssi, hello.”

 

At those words, Dohyun flinched imperceptibly.

 

Since it was Ihae-in whom he was seeing after two days, Dohyun had momentarily forgotten his disguised identity.

 

‘Right, I’m Minwoo?’

 

Recalling his disguised identity, he warmly welcomed Ihae-in.

 

“Nice to see you like this.”

 

“Haha, indeed. Since both parties usually go hunting early, we rarely had a chance to meet.”

 

Dohyun nodded at Ihae-in’s words, then seeing Ihae-in at the dormitory at this time, he asked.

 

“Is today a rest day for Ihae-in-ssi’s party too?”

 

“Yes, our rest days coincidentally overlapped. What a pleasant coincidence.”

 

When Dohyun grinned at Ihae-in’s kind words, Ihae-in looked at Dohyun as if wondering why.

 

If Hanalin and Jiyuchan had seen this, they would have told him to leave because something was about to happen, but unfortunately, Ihae-in didn’t know Dohyun well yet.

 

Just as Ihae-in was about to speak, wondering why Dohyun was smiling, Dohyun looked at Ihae-in and asked.

 

“Then, how about a simple spar?”

 

“Hmm, a spar?”

 

“Yes. I have a new technique I obtained and want to test it out.”

 

At Dohyun’s words, Ihae-in hesitated at first.

 

He had to. Didn’t Ihae-in already know Dohyun’s skills well?

 

That’s why he couldn’t help but hesitate.

 

But thinking this might actually be an opportunity, he cheerfully nodded after a moment.

 

“That would be appreciated. Actually, I’m a bit worried that my skills might be a burden.”

 

“Ah, it’s fine. It’s just a simple spar to check out a new technique.”

 

Since Dohyun said this much, Ihae-in couldn’t help but feel relieved.

 

He smiled, thinking he might even receive some guidance from Dohyun, whose skills were far superior to his own.

 

If Hanalin and Jiyuchan had seen this, they would have told him to run away even now, but unfortunately, he had long been caught in Dohyun’s clutches.

 

“Then I’ll go get my equipment.”

 

“Yes. Let’s meet in the backyard of the dormitory.”

 

“Yes! I’ll be right back.”

 

Watching Ihae-in walk away saying that, thinking it was good timing since he was bored, Dohyun took out a suitable wooden sword from his magic pouch.

 

Since he hadn’t shown magic to Ihae-in, he couldn’t use magic. Dohyun took out a long sword-type wooden sword of appropriate length and went to the backyard, where more hunters than expected were training.

 

There were those practicing accuracy by hitting trees, and others sparring like Dohyun was about to do.

 

Then, seeing Dohyun come out, interested gazes began to focus on him.

 

Not the eyes filled with defeat that Dohyun had seen before, but eyes full of fighting spirit.

 

‘Oh ho.’

 

Dohyun grinned seeing those belligerent gazes.

 

Thinking he should have come out earlier, as he stood quietly, a hunter who seemed to have some skill in the backyard approached Dohyun and spoke to him.

 

“Hey, kid. You’re a newbie, right?”

 

“Something like that.”

 

When the hunter spoke informally outright, Dohyun also smirked and spoke informally back.

 

Association President Han Muyeol was older and a strong person, so that was understandable, but someone who looked about the same age speaking informally from the start and trying to act like a senior?

 

Dohyun found this interesting too.

 

But rather, the guy got more excited at Dohyun’s reaction.

 

“What? Ha! This guy’s an interesting one.”

 

He seemed to speak calmly, but burning anger could be glimpsed within, and most importantly, weren’t his eyes glaring at Dohyun as if to kill him?

 

Dohyun looked at such a guy and said.

 

“If you want to spar, pick up a weapon.”

 

“…Ha. I hope you use your sword as well as your tongue.”

 

Watching the guy charge at him saying that, Dohyun used reverse flow on the guy who had imbued mana into his wooden sword.

 

And observing the effect closely, he found it interesting that only the sword stopped while the mana in the guy’s body didn’t stop, and swung his wooden sword.

 

Crack———!

 

The sound of a head bursting could be heard as the large guy collapsed to the ground with a thud.

 

Seeing him fall with just one strike, Dohyun scratched his head and said, wondering why he was so weak.

 

“He’s not dead, is he?”

 

At those words, Ihae-in’s face turned pale as he came out to the backyard with his equipment, and just as he was about to step back, Dohyun spotted Ihae-in and waved his hand.

 

“Over here.”

 

“….”

 

Watching Dohyun wave cheerfully, Ihae-in briefly thought.

 

‘Should I go back?’

 

Then he shook his head.

 

No.

 

If a man draws his sword, he must cut something! Of course, Ihae-in had a bow, not a sword, but anyway, if you start something, you should see it through to the end—the meaning was the same, wasn’t it? With that thought, Ihae-in raised his bow.

 

Retreating like this would be unacceptable to his pride.

 

Although the large guy had fallen, he was also one of those who could still be called a newcomer, having been promoted to D-rank less than a month ago.

 

On the other hand, Ihae-in was a party leader who had been D-rank for a year and was considered a veteran among D-ranks.

 

As Ihae-in approached with his bow raised, Dohyun smiled as if asking what took him so long.

 

“Are you ready?”

 

Ihae-in felt rather unsettled by Dohyun’s leisurely tone, but he nodded.

 

When Ihae-in nodded as if ready, he switched to arrows with blunt tips, then stepped back while facing Dohyun.

 

Since Ihae-in was a longbow knight, distance was his advantage, so when he put quite a bit of distance between them, the watching Hunters murmured.

 

“Ihae-in is putting that much distance against a newcomer?”

 

“Well, he did subdue Hamtaesik in one go earlier, didn’t he?”

 

“He took down Hamtaesik with one wooden sword strike?”

 

“That’s right!!!”

 

“But Hamtaesik is a tanker, isn’t he? How could he collapse from one hit!?”

 

“Hey! We all saw it.”

 

“That’s crazy.”

 

Hearing that tanker Hamtaesik had been taken down in a single blow, the other spectators could understand why Ihae-in was putting so much distance between them.

 

After all, if he could knock down Hamtaesik with a wooden sword in one hit, it meant he had that level of skill.

 

However.

 

“Wait, wasn’t that guy also a newcomer?”

 

“Was his name Minwoo?”

 

“Yeah, that was the name.”

 

“But a newcomer took down Hamtaesik in one hit?”

 

“Hmm, was there some kind of trick involved?”

 

Many didn’t believe it at face value.

 

Getting caught off guard here wasn’t exactly a rare occurrence.

 

Even though Hamtaesik was sturdy, if he took a direct hit, it could be a different story.

 

So rather than a match between skilled fighters, most came just to watch out of boredom.

 

Regardless, both those who believed Dohyun was a skilled newcomer and those who thought it was a trick shared one common thought.

 

Not a single one of them thought Dohyun would win.

 

While everyone was thinking this way, Ihae-in spoke to Dohyun first.

 

“Then I’ll begin.”

 

Dohyun nodded at those words, and Ihae-in, who could see Dohyun clearly even from a distance, nocked an arrow to his bowstring and immediately shot it at Dohyun.

 

Whiiiiiiii———

 

As the blunt-tipped arrow flew through the air with a heavy whooshing sound, Dohyun’s expression twitched slightly as if somewhat disappointed.

 

Since the tip was blunt, the speed was inevitably slower than a regular arrow. Dohyun deflected the arrow as if it were simple and lightly kicked off the ground.

 

Thud!

 

A crisp and light sound rang out, but Dohyun’s speed shot forward faster than expected, and at that fast speed, Ihae-in shot another arrow as if he had anticipated this.

 

Whiiiiiii————

 

Dohyun deflected the arrow flying toward him with an overly leisurely expression, then without even looking, caught with his empty left hand an arrow that had somehow appeared and was curving toward his back.

 

It was a calculated shot with arrows fired front and back, not at the same speed but precisely timed for Dohyun’s approach, but Ihae-in’s eyes widened as he hadn’t expected it to be seen through so easily.

 

However, since the match wasn’t over yet, this time he openly nocked three arrows at once and shot them straight at Dohyun.

 

As the blunt arrows flew with their characteristic sound toward Dohyun, he deflected two with his sword, then threw the arrow he had caught earlier like a dagger toward the arrow curving in at an odd angle, making them collide in mid-air.

 

Ting——

 

A sharp sound rang out as metal clashed, and as Dohyun’s speed increased further, reaching close to Ihae-in, Ihae-in stepped back while drawing his bowstring, and at that moment Dohyun grinned and raised his left hand.

 

Then Ihae-in tried to imbue his arrow with mana. At that moment, Dohyun’s reversal flowed through the arrow into Ihae-in’s body.

 

Reversal, which could reverse the flow of mana and momentarily stop it, could only stop mana.

 

And even that was just magic that could only stop spells or weapons imbued with mana, but when Dohyun used reversal at the exact moment Ihae-in was trying to imbue his weapon, the reversal flowed through his body and stopped Ihae-in.

 

That time was only 0.1 seconds.

 

However, Dohyun knew the magic that forcibly created openings, and Ihae-in, unaware that such a gap would be created, had no choice but to fall for it.

 

Before the mana-imbued arrow could even leave his hand, Dohyun quickly accelerated, sliding and spinning to the side to bring his wooden sword to Ihae-in’s neck.

 

Whoooooo——

 

Click.

 

Without even feeling the momentary stop, Ihae-in was wondering why he couldn’t shoot his arrow when he felt the cool touch of the wooden sword on his neck, shook his head, returned the drawn arrow to its place, and said.

 

“I lost.”

 

At Ihae-in’s admission, all the people who had been watching burst into cheers.

 

“Insaaaaaane!!!”

 

“The, the rookie won!!!!”

 

“No, no way!? Ihae-in really lost!?”

 

Shocked by the unbelievable result, Hamtaesik, who had been knocked down after getting hit in the head, turned pale as he witnessed this.

 

“Who did you mess with?”

 

“But, but you wouldn’t forget someone like me, right?”

 

When Hamtaesik said that, Dohyun, who had finished his duel with Ihae-in, saw that Hamtaesik had gotten up and said with a grin.

 

“Oh, you’re up. Let’s do it again next time.”

 

Seeing Dohyun waving his hand with a bright smile, Hamtaesik couldn’t help but tremble.

 

“Ugh.”

 

It seemed he had definitely gotten on his bad side.

 

Some of his colleagues looked at Hamtaesik with pity, but wasn’t this all his own doing? That’s why they didn’t particularly comfort him either.

 

They just kept their distance, worried the sparks might fly their way.
