Possessing Nothing

Chapter 24

One month.

She said that she would be able to fix the High Heavens in a month, but it didnt work like that. The High Heavens was still a grace technique. It was one of the best spear martial arts.

No matter how much Wijihoyun was a genius, it was impossible to fix the High Heavens in only a month. Even if it was only remixing the difficulty, the process required extreme geniusness.

One month passed, but she still hasnt fixed the High Heavens. She was hurried though.

Its taking a lot more than I thought. Im going to have to stay a bit longer.

Isnt it because of me?

Im doing this for me. You dont have to stay that. Dont say that also.

She looked at Sungmins face.

Youre too pessimistic by yourself.

People dont change in one day.

It happens when youre bullied at a guild for 10 years. She would never know that feeling. Sungmin muttered and lifted himself up. Break time was over.

His body grow a lot in one month. By using only his body strength to swing his spear, it grew his muscles. That didnt meant that he wasnt practicing his techniques as well.

Because of the lack of hunting, Sungmin tried to practice on himself more. Wijihoyun tried to teach Sungmin in the time she didnt fix the High Heavens.

His spear techniques mastery grew a lot in only a month. His basics were bad because of not learning it properly.

You dont need to use inner strength to use the force. Its basically only a efficient way of using power. Using inner power with that only increases the efficiently of it.

I dont know if you say in words.

Then would you like to be hit?

She pouted and said. Sungmin closed his mouth quietly. Sh! The spear broke through the air.

There are many types of the force. Theres different types depending on the length. And the ways switch from there as well...its gonna take way too long explaining all of it. There was a person called Jang Sambong who was the first person to get in depth about this stuff. He also died a long time ago though.

She muttered and lifted herself. She picked up the spear beside her.

There are many types, but the purpose is the same. To use a lot of power out of little power . Its basically using the entire body strength not the just muscle strength. Using the tension, the rotational energy, the opponents energy, everything is the basics, and inner power increases the efficiency of the strength.

Sungmin nodded. To that, she glared at him.

Dont act like you understood when you didnt. I get confused.

Yes. I have no idea what youre talking about.

Then you have to learn. You have to mix in the force to the na, ran, and zhe. So then you get enough power than usual.

Then she sighed.

It doesnt make sense. This world makes no sense. Using martial arts without knowing these things.

He has been hearing that a lot from her. Since beginning to learn properly from her, Sungmin learned various things. Not really martial arts, but the information that was needed to use martial arts.

You dont know anything. How could someone who doesnt know anything use martial arts

How would I know if I didnt learn it?

Dont say it then.

She grumbled. Sungmins face turned sullen as he practiced the postures that he learned. Then he suddenly thought of something and asked.

How do you use telepathy?

[Like this.]

She sent a message. Sungmin sighed and stopped swinging his spear.

If I could do it right now, I would be a genius.

Thats true. Youre not a genius.

She said with a pathetic face.

But youre not dumb either.

What?

Youre not dumb. Youre not a genius, but youre not dumb either. Common might be a bit better than common.

She muttered to herself.

You learn better getting taught then learning it yourself. Its probably because you probably never learned alone.

Sungmins face turned blank. Right. He had never learned like this from another person.

Well, you could say its part of inner strength.

What kind of stupid thing is that. How do you do that?

Ugh

She told him carefully about how to use telepathy. He tried it on that note, but it didnt work. He didnt have enough inner strength.

Like that, he learned various things from her. When he was using the Amethyst Cloud, she gave him advice about using inner strength as well.

Really, the main reason why she didn't finish the High Heavens in one month was because of using so much time to teach Sungmin. Sungmin opened his eyes after meditating.

Why are you doing so much for me?

Sungmin asked. When he was practicing the Amethyst Could, Wijihoyun was fixing the manual of the High Heavens in the corner of the bed. She turned around.

Do you actually not know? Its because

Friend, dont say that.

I dont want to see you die.

She changed her answer.

You told me I was your goal. I cant let you die to some random person.

Is that being nosy?

Say its being worried.

She grumbled. She put down the pen and moved her neck side to side.

...And I dont want to leave any regrets behind. Im going to leave soon.

...Regrets. What regrets.

You are my first friend.

Her eyes turned clam. When she had those eyes, he didnt know if it wa son purpose, but she had the aura of dominating the other person.

Lets say it wasnt a coincidence, but my thoughts havent changed. You are my first friend. So I want to care for you. For you, for me.

He heard it many times. That Small Pegasus in his past life was a person like this. A girl, not a boy, who had huge generosity for someone with a background of the vice head of a cult. She was like that; she tried to keep someone that she had gotten once.

Its a month. Twice the length that I said...but Im leaving.

...where?

I dont know. Im going to venture around. Like my previous self.

She looked at Sungmin.

You?

Me? I will get the potion and go to the next city.

Behengeru. A city that was about 4 days away from here. He had been a mercenary there.

I see. When should we meet.

She tilted her head.

If I leave in a month, I will be wandering for a few years. Then I will be somewhere where ever I feel like. You and I have never met in 13 years.

We were in different places.

How about 10 years.

She said.

I was going to say 13 years, but since you dont know what happened next, I think its best if we meet earlier. Lets say 10 years. You choose the place. I dont know this place.

Tobes.

He answered immediately.

Its one of the biggest and most modern city in Eria we can meet there. When is the date?

3/14.

She opened her mouth.

Its my birthday. I wont forget it. You remember it. 3/14 in 10 years. You and I meet in Tobes.

That meeting plan has been chosen in 10 years. It gave a goal to Sungmin. He wont die before then. He must not die. No, he couldnt just live though.

He had to make it his goal to be closer to her,. He wouldnt be anything close as just a first rate. ABove that, he needed to go way above that.

He had many goals in his new life.

One was to get everything that he could using his past experiences. The martial skeleton. The Genuine Heavens. The potion. That wasnt the end. There were other things left to get.

The second was to survive.

Third was Wijihoyun. To get stronger than her he never thought that. There was so many things that they had different.

But, that was his goal.

When two weeks passed, she finished the High Heavens. She changed the difficulty and put in the beginning of the Chase Soul.

She had finished it, but she didnt leave just yet.

I said I was leaving in one month, so Ill teach you the High Heavens for two week.

So Sungmin was taught the High Heavens for two weeks. Then two weeks passed.

Sungmin and Wijihoyun stood across from each other behind Jacks inn. She was leaving today. The 100,000 Erie for the inn fee. Sungmin gave her that as well. She had on the martial arts clothes, Jacks bag, food on the journey. No weapon. She didnt use weapons.

Ill give you 20 seconds.

She put down the bag. A fight. Wijihoyun asked for it first. He didnt reject it.

He knew the result. There was no way that he could win at this point. The result didnt change with him getting the first 20 seconds. No matter how many spear stabs, he wouldnt even be able to wound her.

He knew, but he stood here.

He wanted to see the skill of Wijihoyun.
