I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 40 thigh

I looked into the passage with a flashlight.

Big enough to fit two adult men.

And a road that has no end in sight.

If I had discovered it without knowing anything, it would have been difficult to set foot on it easily.

‘It could be a double dungeon.’

Knowing future information is so helpful.

I stepped right in.

trudge-

trudge-

continued without hesitation.

There was nothing to catch except for something like stone dust falling from the top.

After a while.

The space reflected by the flashlight begins to expand.

‘It’s over there.’

Soon a room appeared.

Torches were embedded in the wall, so there was no need to carry a flashlight anymore.

I focused on one table in the middle of the room.

To be precise, in a mysterious book placed on top of it.

‘This is it!’

It’s a book you won’t want to give just by looking at its appearance.

It’s torn, smelly, and faded in cobwebs here and there.

But if you know this…

‘It is of great value.’

I carefully walked through the cobwebs and brushed off the dust.

I touched it as carefully as possible to avoid further damage to the book.

The cover of the book is gradually revealed.

A long sword is crooked.

‘I can’t read the letters.’

can’t read

After all, this book is just a picture.

I slowly turned the book over.

A human with a sword begins to perform various swordsmanship.

Even though it’s just a picture, it conveys its vitality as it is.

‘It’s basic swordsmanship. You learn in the military.’

If it had been another book, I would have covered it right away.

Because the basic swordsmanship has been learned so much that there is no point in looking at it anymore.

However, this book is different.

‘···’

I sat down with my legs crossed and continued reading the book.

Let all the pictures stick in your mind.

so long

At some point, the last chapter was held in my hand.

In the last chapter, the sword on the cover was drawn again in a large size.

The moment I put the sword in my eyes, a light suddenly burst out of the book.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

It was so intense that it could not be compared with the flashlights or the torches on the wall.

My eyes were shut in a blink of an eye.

When he finally regained consciousness and opened his eyes again, something was blocking his vision.

It was a notification.

[Are you sure you want to absorb the book 「The Essence of Swordsmanship」?]

Yes.

This book can be absorbed like a stat rune.

‘It’s the standard of swordsmanship… Yeah, I said this was the title.’

I smiled and nodded my head.

Then, the book was sucked into my body like a lie.

Wow!

There was no pain.

There was no nausea or anything like that.

yet.

The notification popped up again.

[「The Essence of Swordsmanship」 is a book about basic swordsmanship.][The proficiency increase rate of all skills related to swordsmanship is increased.][Applies only to grade E and lower.]

Increases the speed of proficiency increase.

Just like the marbles eaten in the Giant Rat dungeon increased the stat experience increase rate, it literally increases the skill proficiency increase rate.

‘It’s bigger than a bead. The stats tend to go up no matter what I do, but the skills go up only by repeating certain movements.’

It’s not like this.

The amount of space will be sufficient, and I want to experience the effect here.

I took out the folding sword I had prepared in advance.

And he performed a simple swordsmanship.

By creating a virtual enemy, he also honed his one-point attack skills and continuous slashing skills.

Soon something amazing happened.

[The skill proficiency of the one-point attack skill increases slightly!][The skill proficiency of the one-point attack skill increases slightly!][The skill proficiency of the one-point attack skill increases slightly!][Continuous Slash skill proficiency increases slightly!][Continuous Slash skill proficiency increases slightly!][Continuous Slash skill proficiency increases slightly!]

Notifications come to mind.

Compared to yesterday, it was a remarkable speed.

‘If it’s like this, chew up one level of grade.’

It’s a D-class, but it’s the lowest skill level.

It’s an E-class, but it’s the best skill.

In terms of power alone, of course, the latter has no choice but to take precedence.

‘If you go to C-class, things will be different.’

No matter how high the proficiency level, it is difficult to surpass the level by two levels.

Of course, if you go higher than that…

‘Not to mention the B-class.’

The time suddenly pointed to 14 o’clock.

Since we didn’t have an appointment, it wouldn’t hurt to sit down for a few more hours.

👌👌👌👌

👌👌👌👌

👌👌👌👌

I swung my sword like crazy.

As a result, the standard effect of swordsmanship was continuously applied.

[Intensive swordsmanship skill proficiency increases slightly!][Intensive swordsmanship skill proficiency increases slightly!][Intensive swordsmanship skill proficiency increases slightly!]

Apparently, the concentration of swordsmanship skill had the most influence.

This is because, like the essence of swordsmanship, the intensive swordsmanship skill affects all stats related to swordsmanship.

It was about two hours later.

[Intensive swordsmanship skill proficiency increases significantly!]

Instead of the word ‘small’, the word ‘large’ was added in front.

In other words, the increase is very large.

I called delight.

‘This is why Hidden Peace is Hidden Peace.’

I was a little tired, but I’m getting stronger again.

Looks like I’ll have to do another hour or so.

Then, the notification popped up again.

[I have a very good sense of basic swordsmanship.][The understanding of basic swordsmanship is very high.]

suddenly?

The content itself is not surprising.

The basic swordsmanship was only dealt with for 10 years before the return, so of course the sense or understanding is good and high.

However, why did this suddenly appear?

The reason was revealed in the following notice.

[This sense and comprehension are reacting to something from “the essence of swordsmanship”!]

react to something.

It is similar to when a muscle strengthening skill is created from the characteristics of the strong bones.

‘What kind of skill does the standard of swordsmanship also unlock?’

I tilted my head and waited for the next announcement.

But there were no further notifications.

‘There must be something there.’

Someday you will eventually respond.

I don’t think it will take that long.

‘Because the basic swordsmanship is like eating rice. Even the one-point attack skill and the continuous slash skill are the same.’

I nodded and raised my sword again.

***

“Are you out now? You have been here a long time.”

“There was a lot to see inside.”

“It’s similar to what you see while working as a Hunter, so there’s nothing wrong with that.”

17:30.

As I exited the touristic dungeon, the guide looked at me curiously.

Hmm.

Actually, I was training inside.

I went to the nearby bus stop with the words “Good job.”

‘Bus 38 is coming in 15 minutes.’

Guess I’ll have to wait a bit.

I sat down and turned on my phone.

And I searched for articles written by my sister.

I found and read them one by one, and a few people wrote a lot of swear words in the comments.

‘Hey, you assholes. Why live?’

My sister is also human.

Of course you can make mistakes.

I can’t write well.

Still, I have to criticize, what the hell am I going to do if I only use cursing like this?

I pressed the report button one by one.

My sister shouldn’t have seen it.

Tok tok-

After I’m done, I straighten my back for a while, and someone taps on my shoulder.

“Is that right, Dojin? Have you ever done it?”

“uh?”

It was Seong Da-kyung.

At first, I almost didn’t recognize it for a moment.

Make-up was also makeup, and he was wearing plain clothes, not combat clothes.

A see-through blouse in which the underwear is faintly reflected, and a tennis skirt that reveals the thighs.

It’s a different feeling than seeing it in the army.

“Anything fun? What are you so focused on?”

“I have something to check. But I see it all here.”

“So. Do-jin, do you live near here?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, I live near here too.”

Seong Da-kyung sits next to me and says.

“I was a neighbour. They are also neighbors in the unit.”

“Yes, we are neighbors in our unit.”

Seong Da-kyung asked while applying tint.

“What kind of vacation did Dojin come out for?”

“I won the trench fight at guerrilla. It came out with that.”

“Ah! I heard You said you were great, you did a great job.”

“Ah, no. What about Da-kyung?”

“I also got it as a hit. Selected as an excellent teaching assistant.”

“also. I thought so.”

“Why, did I do well?”

“Yes. You’re really flying.”

“It was Dojin-san who flew. Even the king of guerrilla rides.”

Seong Da-kyung asked while looking at the guidance system.

“How many times does Dojin ride?”

“Number 38.”

“uh! I ride it too. Why have we never met before?”

“It’s probably because it’s only in the battalion. Now, how did it fit together, but it’s rare that we’ll go out on vacation together.”

“It is. In fact, I don’t see it very often even in that unit.”

Seong Da-kyung pats something on the cheek this time, then looks at me and tilts his head.

“But where did you workout?”

“I practiced some swordsmanship.”

“Swordsmanship? Are you on vacation?”

“I just kept playing until yesterday, so I felt a little tired.”

“But it’s like that. It’s a vacation practice… No, I need to imitate that spirit.”

“Yes?”

“Because you had that spirit, didn’t you pass the promotion exam from Private to Private?”

“Ah.”That’s correct.

If there is only the premise of regression.

“uh! come! Ride!”

Seong Da-kyung gets on the bus first.

Then, he swipe the card and swipe up to my share.

“Two people!”

beep-

“Hey, why did you scratch mine?”

“Just. Instead, the next time we ride the bus together, Dojin will scratch it.”

“Ah. all right.”

The seats were almost full.

There was only one two-seater seat left just behind the back door.

Seong Da-kyung goes first and sits by the window.

I sat next to him.

“There are so many people. right?”

“Iknow, right. It’s dinner time.”

“When is Dojin leaving?”

“I only need five stops from here.”

“Wow, I guess that’s why the world is so small.”

“why?”

“I only need to go five stops.”

“okay? The real world is narrow.”

“Actually, how many times have we met while passing by?”

“I guess so? This is enough.”

“If we ever meet in the future, say hello.”

“Yes. But didn’t you say that last time? Say hello and blah blah.”

“Yeah, it was because Dojin didn’t talk to me even after seeing me.”

Ah.

Were you at work then?

“Hey, I’ll say hi.”

“I did it first today.”

“I was touching my cell phone, so I didn’t know it was coming.”

“I see. I’ll take it out today.”

Sung Da-kyung raised his hand and asked.

“Dojin-san, is this okay?”

“what?”

“this.”

Seong Da-kyung spreads his fingers wide, and only the middle and ring fingers stick together. The rest of the fingers are still spread out.

Well, it looks easy.

“Do you think it will?”

“Do it. It will be difficult.”

I raised his hand and imitated Seong Da-kyung’s movement.

result···

“Look, can’t you?”

“What, why not?”

No matter how hard he tries to bend and straighten his fingers, everything sticks to his will.

Seong Da-kyung looks at me like that and laughs.

That was then.

Suddenly, a car cuts into the next lane.

profit-!

“Uh-huh!”

“Ouch!”

Knock-!

In an instant, the body shakes violently.

I supported my body with one hand on a pole in front of me.

And the other hand held Seong Da-kyung. Because he was shaking more than me.

“Hey, you bastard! Aren’t you driving straight?”

The knight’s shout resounds.

Fortunately, everyone seems to be fine.

Breaths of relief are exploding everywhere.

However, I have a problem.

“Uh… that’s what…”

In order to catch Seong Da-kyung, as soon as he caught it, he grabbed her thigh.

As she shook, the hem of her skirt curled up, revealing her inner skin.
