A New Beginning (4)

Team Seoul City Hall’s training was held at a nearby general gym.

Regarding this, Junhyung Kim and Gyuri Han expressed the opinion that it would be better to use the Hunter training center, no matter how tight the budget is… .

“If you don’t have a budget, you should save even in places like this. And we don’t need such a training camp.”

Do Ji-hyeok’s strong argument, who had a career that built the Queens from the bottom, was defeated.

Do Ji-hyuk and his teammates gathered in the gym after changing into training clothes.

He showed a very serious side, as if he was making a lot of noise about Han-na and Do Ji-hyeok’s stories.

“Today is the first day, so for 30 minutes, each one of us warms up the way we want and gathers again.”

Do Ji-hyeok ordered autonomous activities with the intention of observing the three of them.

Prior to the full-scale training, it was meant to identify the tendencies and characteristics of the three people.

“Do you normally relax your body for 30 minutes?”

“Iknow, right… ?”

Jung Soo-in, who played the main dealer role, and Kim Na-rae, who was chosen as the supporter, showed reactions as if they did not know what to do… .

Since it was only the two of them who had only been to an academy-type training center run by the government, it was a natural reaction in a way.

“I might as well do some stretching.”

“Ah yes.”

That time when Jung Soo-in and Kim Na-rae, who couldn’t get along properly, dispersed and tried to stretch each other.

“Sisters!”

Hanna Bang willingly stepped forward and led the two of them.

“My parents run a dojo, so I know a little about it. Would it be okay if I did it with you?”

“stamp?”

“yes! My father runs a swordsmanship studio!”

“okay?”

“How do you… ?”

“Let’s start with stretching together and then run lightly.”

Jung Soo-in and Kim Na-rae started warming up quietly following Han-na Bang, an experienced person.

Do Ji-hyeok, who was watching from a distance, was slightly surprised by Bang Han-na’s unexpected leadership.

‘Is that good enough?’

Because I didn’t expect Hanna Bang, who holds the position of the youngest member of the team, to lead the two.

“two! two! three! four! I’m going down the bridge this time!”

As if proving that she came from a martial arts family, Hanna Bang showed off a pretty decent warm-up routine.

After relaxing the muscles of the whole body through meticulous stretching, I ran and matched my breathing naturally… .

It was very similar to the warm-up method Do Ji-hyuk was trying to pursue.

Except for one thing.

30 minutes later.

“Everyone seems to be in good shape.”

After running, Do Ji-hyeok approached Bang Han-na, who seemed to be in good shape, with the two people gasping for breath alone, and handed them an unknown item one by one.

“What is this?”

“It is a magic stone.”

“… ?”

Jung Soo-in looked around at the items Do Ji-hyuk had handed over.

At the end of a necklace made of sturdy string, a purple ore the size of a finger was attached, which was slightly different from the commonly known magic stone.

“This… . S-Rank Magic Stone… ?”

“Hey, this is an S-rank?!”

“Wow… .”

Jung Soo-in, who adjusts her posture as if dealing with precious things, at Na-Rae Kim’s words, and Han-Na Bang, who shows a strange reaction.

Do Ji-hyeok, who was observing the reaction of the three people, gently lifted up another magic stone necklace that he was wearing around his neck and explained calmly.

“This is not much different from a normal magic stone. When you infuse it with magical power, it glows.”

aah

Do Ji-hyuk’s magic stone that emits a soft purple light.

“Wow… .”

Hanna Bang inadvertently exclaimed in admiration at the magic stone shining like a beautiful jewel.

“From now on, I will wear this magic stone every time I train. The goal is to keep the light on the magic stone unlit throughout the training period.”

“… yes?”

“I did this all through training… ?”

The three of them were startled by the unexpected training method, and together with Do Ji-hyuk’s recommendation, they immediately injected magic into the magic stone.

However… .

There was a much lesser light than Do Ji-hyuk emitted, or there was no sign of light at all.

“her… .”

“Shh, it’s not easy.”

“… why not… ?”

Manastones collected from S-class gates are more difficult to handle than other manastones.

A normal magic stone emits that much bright light if you hit it with magic power ignorantly.

S-Rank Magic Stones, which have been grown in places where enormous magical energy flows, emit a bright light only when they are injected more evenly and delicately.

‘If you manage your magic well, you’ll get a B rank.’

Do Ji-hyuk was planning to develop the basic abilities of the three people based on the all-powerful magic theory he had established.

“It’s natural that it’s not easy at first, so keep practicing. Understand?”

“”yes!””

Bang Han-na glanced at Jung Soo-in and Kim Na-rae, who responded vigorously.

The magic stones of the two people were clearly insignificant, but they were definitely emitting light.

‘… Why can’t I… ?’

Hanna Bang tried to infuse magic power once again to make her magic stone shine.

However… .

“… … .”

Her magic stone was still silent.

continuing training.

“What is that?”

“carrier… ?”

Jung Soo-in and Kim Na-rae showed a very embarrassed reaction.

It was supposed to be training, but it was not unusual to see old items that seemed to have been picked up from a junkyard out of the blue.

“OMG… . I did all my workouts today… .”

“Would you like to push further?”

“No, that’s fine. Gyuri-san did a great job, too.”

With the help of Gyu-ri Han and Jun-hyung Kim, I fixed the old suitcase in the proper position, and I approached the two people who were standing ambiguously and explained the training method.

The method was very simple.

Attack the carrier as if you were dealing with a monster, and drain all the water it filled in and you’re done.

“Today is the first day, so once this is over, you can go home first.”

“Is that true!?”

“Wow… .”

Two people who are rejoicing when they propose to leave work early.

“Is it easier than you think?”

“It’s just a carrier… . It’s simpler than you think.”

In fact, the carrier the two of them will face is not an ordinary carrier.

A carrier made from the scales of a B-class monster that is famous for its toughness.

It is a kind of test to confirm the two people’s tenacity and attitude.

“Don’t forget to light the magic stone, then let’s start freely.”

“”yes!””

Leaving behind the two people who each drew their weapons, I approached Hanna Bang, who was standing alone with a small shield behind her.

“Hanghanna.”

“Yes, yes… !”

She looks like she’s very nervous.

I glanced at the small magic stone that hung over her enormous chest.

‘I guess I haven’t revealed it yet.’

Although magic stone training is important, it is not to the point of forcing Hanna Hana, who can’t even handle her own abilities properly.

‘It’s okay to do this slowly.’

With the idea of solving an urgent problem first, I gently crossed my arms and spoke.

“You will be doing individual training for the time being.”

“Individual training?”

Hanna Bang showed a slightly subtle reaction to the word individual training… .

It is a natural story, but it is not necessary to spend time on attack training for the shield-specialized winter jacket.

How can you pierce the skin of a hard monster with a shield?

Of course, there is a way to attack with a shield, but it was not a skill that Hanna Bang could practice right now.

“You just have to stop and hold on to my attack until the other team members have finished training.”

“Gee, you’re doing it yourself?!”

“no?”

“Oh, no! It’s not like that… .”

“Then let’s get started.”

“Yes, yes… !”

So Hanna’s individual training began.

Standing apart from Hanna Bang, I gave a signal by waving my blunt-tipped wooden training sword.

“It’s my first time, so let’s go lightly.”

“I see… !”

Bang Hanna raises her shield with a very nervous look.

I approached her with a wooden sword, swung it with a signal,

Taang-!

Hanna Bang, who was holding a posture in advance, stably blocked the attack.

Then, two attacks in succession.

Ta-ah-! Ta-ah-!

It was a simple slamming motion that didn’t put any magic on it, but… .

“み… .”

Hanna Han frowned as if feeling a little burdensome, and forcibly blocked the attack, and several more attacks continued.

Tee-!

“… !”

In the end, Hanna Bang missed the shield.

“it’s okay?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay!”

As soon as she came to her senses, she hurriedly grabbed the shield as if she was about to resume training.

I gently spoke to her, admiring her strange poison.

“how was it?”

“… yes?”

“Did you feel anything while blocking it?”

“uh… . First off, it’s very heavy… . My wrists were more sore than usual.”

‘It’s strange not being sick.’

The reason her wrist hurts is because her shield is inevitably painful.

The shield that Hanna Bang is using is a ‘center grip’ type with a handle in the center, and it is the most basic shield in a round shape about 50cm tall.

It’s a good shield for those who wield a sword or staff in the opposite hand, but… .

It was not at all suitable for Hanna Bang, who had to take all the attacks completely.

‘Rather, it’s been great that I’ve endured with this kind of thing so far.’

After confirming that Hanna Bang had a problem with her equipment, I stopped training for a while and took out the shield I had prepared in advance and handed it to me.

“ruler.”

“This… ?”

“It’s a gift. Please use this in the future.”

“… Yes, yes!?”

Bang Hanna looked at me with her eyes wide open as if startled by an unexpected gift,

“Come on, take it.”

“Yes, yes… !”

Swallowing his saliva, he carefully handed the shield and began to look around as if he had received a birthday present.

“Wow… .”

The shield I gave her is quite different from the shield she used before.

It was a long rectangular shield made of a light alloy material painted in a dark color, but it was quite large enough to cover the whole body when crouched down.

“this… . No, is it very expensive?”

“Well. I chose it, but I didn’t look at the price.”

“Hey, can I take this… ?”

“If you don’t like it, you can return it.”

As I reached out my hand indifferently, she hugged the shield tightly and expressed her dislike to return it, and I smiled and continued.

“I’m going to give new equipment to the other team members, so don’t feel too burdened. put it on right away Let’s do some performance experiments.”

“yes… !”

Hanna Bang wears a new shield with a smile as if she has a lot of anticipation.

“Wow… .”

Raising her shield, she took various poses and constantly poured out admiration.

“What do you think?”

“Very good! The stability is different… . I don’t know if I can use this… !”

“You know it when you write it. I will tell you the details later, so please use it yourself and get used to it.”

“Yep… !”

So training resumed with a new shield.

I hit the wooden sword in the same way as before, and Bang Hanna raised her shield to block the attack.

Taang-!

And the moment when the attack bounced off the shield, and a cheerful sound echoed through the gym.

“!”

As if she had received a completely different feeling from before, Hanna Bang appeared with a surprised expression on her face.

Ta-ah-! Ta-ah-!

She blocked all the attacks with a seemingly easier appearance, and I swung my sword in line with the previous number of times.

“What do you think? Do you feel anything different?”

“yes… ! My wrist doesn’t hurt, and it’s not heavy! It’s because I like the shield… ?”

Hanna, who narrowed her forehead to the limit, carefully touched the shield as if it was really strange… .

It looked somewhat innocent, and it felt quite cute.

There are several reasons why Bang Han-na’s feelings have changed, but the real key lies in the way she holds the shield.

The new shield is of the ‘Enarms’ type, which is different from the existing shield, in which the elbows and hands are attached to the shield.

Unlike the center grip type, which has to receive all the shocks with the wrist, the Enarms type uses the entire upper body, so it is much less fatigued.

“Don’t get too attached. All equipment is consumables. I will go back.”

“Yep… !”

So I continued training to adapt to Hanna’s shield.

‘I mean, it’s like this… .’

While repeating the principles of shield art that slowly flowed into her mind, she made a plan to raise her as an A-class tanker.

*

a few days later.

Gym gathered for training as usual.

“Until this week, we will continue with the same training. Then right away… .”

“Hold on everyone!”

Just as she was about to start training, Gyu-ri Han, who had been away for a while, suddenly appeared and gathered everyone together saying there was an announcement.

“… ?”

As I backed away slightly with doubts, I quietly listened to Han Gyuri’s announcement… .

“This Friday, the Exemplary Citizen Citation Ceremony is held!”

I did something, and it was news that Hanna and I were going to be commended for exemplary citizens.

“Wow… . Producer! Congratulations. Congratulations to Hannah too!”

“Congratulations, both of you!”

“Hey… . We have two model citizens on our team!”

The team members congratulated Hanna and me by clapping their hands,

I welcomed an unexpected opportunity and received congratulations from people… .

“Hannah. what’s the matter?”

“… Oh no! Joe, I like it… . hehehehe… .”

“… ?”

Hanna Bang started to show a strange reaction.
