Absolute Regression Chapter 302

Episode 302: Now is the time to become stronger.

“Are you serious?”

My father’s one question contained the meaning, ‘Are you really going to make such an uncertain choice?’ There may not be a connection, and even if there is a connection, something completely unhelpful may pop up.

“If you have no connection with me… I use it to rip off the enemy’s head. Or just melt it down and make a sword.”

“Well, the choice is yours anyway.”

“I’ve chosen this to let you know that I sometimes make mistakes because I’ve only shown you a perfect image so far.”

I slowly extended my hand towards Bigwe.

The moment you carefully touch it.

“iced coffee!”

My father asked in response to my deep sighs.

“Why are you doing that?”

“When I pick this up, I should feel some kind of thrill or hear some kind of mysterious sound that only I can hear…”

He added with a sigh.

“I don’t feel anything.”

My father shook his head.

“It was your choice. If you look among the perennial snow ginseng, there must have been a bottle containing a few drops of Gongcheong Petroleum.”

“No, right? Please tell me it was a joke!”

I ran to where the elixir was. There was indeed a bottle of Gongcheong Oil between the Yeongyak and Yeongcho. It was as if he was saying this. You didn’t see me? This milky brilliance?

“You should have told me sooner!”

“Why should I tell you when deliberately hiding it wouldn’t be enough?”

I asked my father with a slightly pained expression.

“Isn’t there something else?”

My father was completely absorbed in the taste of teasing me.

“This school is a treasure trove in name and appearance, but is that all there is? “There is also a glacial snow fruit.”

I went next to my father and spoke softly.

“Please pass it on.”

“No!”

Okay, if you take this away, you won’t be my father.

“Don’t use these, just leave them alone! Be sure to save it until I become the leader later! father!”

I thought it was amazing that my father kept this. Do you think your father is not greedy? It must have been saved to be used at a critical time, not now. As expected, my father was drawing the big picture.

I looked down at Bigwe and said.

“You bastard, you are more valuable than Gongcheong Petroleum!”

I was joking with my father for no reason, but my instincts were still drawn to this bigwe. Because I didn’t feel that heartbreaking feeling when I made the wrong choice.

This feeling that even if I had to choose again, I would have chosen Bigwe was not just a foolish stubbornness trying to deny a wrong choice.

Because this dull lump of iron was still pulling me strongly.

My father was no different from me. On the outside, he looked like he was okay with the fuss, but on the other hand, he seemed to be looking forward to it. I wonder if I can solve the secret you couldn’t solve.

“It will open when the time is right. Yeonja, you chose well! When I compared myself to Gongcheong Oil, my pride was hurt! “Like this.”

“Yes, I have to live with at least that hope.”

He shouted ‘Yeonja!’ again and put Bigwe in his arms.

Ah, why is it so heavy!

I left Cheonmabogo with my father.

We walked back the way we came and talked. Actually, today I received a bigger gift than Bigwe. The fact that my father gave me a congratulatory gift. That was the greatest gift.

“What are you going to do now?”

“You have to train. When I get tired from training, I play with the mazons. Even if you ask me to play, I will still play. Aren’t you tired of it? “I will have fun even if you do.”

I looked at my father and asked vaguely.

“Do you invite your father when you play?”

My father scoffed, but didn’t tell me not to call him.

“father. It wasn’t for nothing that I said earlier that I wanted to go out with you. Come hang out with me sometime soon. If Master Sima stops them, the two of them secretly run away at night. “I run at a rapid pace using the Heavenly Demon Flying Technique.”

My father never said yes.

“Then I will leave. “Thank you so much for the gift.”

I greeted him politely and was about to turn around when my father spoke.

“Let’s play a game of baduk soon.”

I said with a big smile.

“You will have to be nervous from now on. “My soldier started learning baduk.”

* * *

As I left Cheonmajeon, the daytime escorts, including Jeokyeon, lined up behind me. It was a silent greeting and a sign of happiness.

“You all trained hard.”

You could tell the results of your training just by looking at the momentum and the way you walked. It looks like you’ve had quite a bit of training.

Yes, let’s all become stronger. Because now is the time for us all to become stronger.

I went straight to Hyeolcheon Doma that way.

“Elder!”

I ran towards him happily as usual, but stopped.

An unfamiliar scene unfolded.

A flower garden had been created in the yard, and Hyeolcheon Doma was pruning the branches of flower trees by carefully moving the large Myeolcheon Blade.

“this! I thought you were from the Namdo sect, but you came to the Northern Heavenly Sword House. Long time no see, Geomzon. “Why have you become so ugly in the meantime?”

“Stop talking nonsense and sprinkle some water over there.”

“yes.”

It seems he has been getting along well with Ilhwa Geomzon these days and has learned how to grow flowers from her.

Just looking at the outside, it doesn’t suit me at all, but I know it. Growing a flower garden is something that suits Hyeolcheon Doma, who loves books. There is a chopping softness that exists behind that manliness.

“If you give too much water to one place, they will die. “Give it evenly.”

I watered other places as Hyeolcheon Doma instructed.

“I see you and Geomzon are doing well these days.”

“Belatedly, you are busy with martial arts training. “They don’t even meet me because they don’t want to be seen without makeup.”

It looks like he is concentrating on his martial arts training after meeting with me for the last time. The fact that Geomzon, who likes to decorate himself, doesn’t wear makeup means he’s sincere.

“Is it because of you?”

“no.”

“Not really. “I wonder if everyone is so old that they want to win.”

There are some things that only become apparent when you get older. Things that you thought were no big deal when you were younger seem different now, right? Isn’t that the case for seniors too? Giving a sword to a student and growing flowers in the yard? In the past, would you have thought it was worth it?

Hyeolcheon Doma added one more thing.

“Don’t just take care of the masked person, take care of the drunkard too.”

“Brother Chuma?”

“The day I came back, he was waiting for you on the roof, drinking.”

“Oh my ugly brother. “You got drunk and got into trouble again.”

Hyeolcheondoma only said that and did not say anything more about the intoxication. In fact, just taking care of him was enough of a change.

“Okay, that’s it. That’s all for today.”

Hyeolcheon Doma stopped pruning and went inside the house.

When I tried to follow him in, he tried to kick me out.

“I saw your face, so it’s okay. “You don’t have to worry about me for no reason.”

“I feel most comfortable and like it here.”

“I’m uncomfortable. “I’m comfortable alone.”

I quickly went in and threw myself onto the bed, but stopped floating in the air due to the airborne effects of the Hyeolcheondoma.

“This is the leader of the Su religion! “It’s the leader of the Little Church!”

My body slowly flew towards the window.

“You can’t become a cult leader! “Wash, change, and lie down.”

While Hyeolcheondoma was changing his clothes, I sat down by the window. There was a book on the table that Hyeolcheondoma was reading. It was a book about how to take care of a flower garden.

Although it is a book that has nothing to do with Taoism, I believe that his Great Dao of Destruction will become more powerful and scary. Sometimes you gain enlightenment by cutting off the branches of a flower tree rather than cutting off the head of an enemy.

Moreover, if Ilhwa Geomjon rushes through training, there is no way that Hyeolcheon Doma, who has been training hard, will just remain. In order not to lose to Geomzon, we will run together. It wasn’t our intention, but we’re all getting stronger together.

“Elder. “Do you know what this is?”

I took out Bigwe from my pocket and showed it to him. I thought he would show curiosity by asking what that was, but he said it indifferently as he continued to change his clothes.

“It’s Bigwe.”

“How do you know?”

“How do you know? “When I was young, the religious leader made such a fuss about unlocking the secret.”

This is a moment that confirms once again that there was a time when the young Hyeolcheondoma and his father were close. Compared to back then, it seems like our relationship has become a bit estranged these days.

By the way, my father, if you make such a fuss, please stop me before I make a choice. I thought he was truly father-like.

“Why is it in your hands?”

“I received it as a gift for becoming the leader of the small church. No, I chose it.”

“Even if you choose, why do you choose that?”

“It is only open to those with a connection. How can you bear it after hearing this? Even the elderly would have chosen it.”

“I wouldn’t have chosen. “There is no way an unlucky person like me would have anything to do with treasure.”

This is what Hyeolcheondoma said when we first met.

It was a life filled with misfortune.

I asked, looking at him intently.

“Not anymore, right?”

Hyeolcheondoma smiled slightly and nodded.

“I might choose it now.”

Of course, that’s how it should be. You have to do this for me, who is rushing to see my elders right after seeing my father.

My eyes turned to Bigwe.

“One day it will suddenly snap open. “I will be telling you to open it every day until it opens, so it will open even if you don’t want to hear it.”

After taking the big box, I stood up.

“I’ll go then. Don’t forget. “But I came to see you first.”

“Condescending.”

Despite what he said, it was a Hyeolcheon chopping block that he would deeply like.

After leaving Hyeolcheondoma’s residence, he returned to his residence. Originally, I was going to watch a boxing event, but I postponed it until tomorrow.

The escorts did not tell us to rest. It was my first day back. How much would I have wanted to be an escort?

“I’m counting on you!”

“Don’t worry, get some rest!”

I left them as escorts and entered the house. Even though the house had been away for quite some time, it was clean.

“Still, the house is nice.”

I lay down in bed and fell asleep first.

I haven’t had a good night’s sleep since leaving school. Sleep was replaced by luck, and all the remaining time was devoted to martial arts training.

I plan to sleep well today and relieve my travel fatigue. No matter how expert you are, long-distance carriage trips are tiring.

* * *

When I woke up, it was already night.

I really slept soundly without a single dream. I felt refreshed by the feeling of refreshment I felt when I slept well.

I lay down and looked out the window at the night sky for a moment. Now that I think about it, the view while lying here was nice.

After rolling around in bed for a while, I came out.

The escort had been replaced by the night shift.

“Are you awake?”

The person leading the night shift today was Samho.

“hungry. “I want to eat your mother’s home-cooked food.”

A smile automatically appeared on Samho’s face.

“I thought you might be hungry when you wake up, so I prepared a quick meal for you.”

The food prepared by another escort was taken to the room.

“Let’s all go in and eat together.”

“We already ate.”

“How should I eat?”

“We eat before starting our night mission and take turns eating at dawn.”

“Day and night have changed, so don’t eat roughly. Eat properly. “I throw away everything.”

“Thank you for caring me.”

“Don’t just say thank you. Be sure to follow it!”

I went into the room and had dinner.

It was supposed to be a simple meal, but it was a proper meal. Since I don’t know when I’ll wake up, I’ve prepared dishes that can be cooled.

After eating, I drank a cup of warm tea. As I sat by the window drinking tea, my mind became calm.

It was the joy of daily life that I felt for the first time in a long time.

If there is joy in being with people, there is happiness in being alone and quietly. The more you joke around with people, the more precious your alone time becomes.

Then I remembered my life before returning. At that time, I was sick of being alone. People are so treacherous.

After finishing his meal, he took the Bigweh out of his pocket and placed it on his palm.

I examined it carefully.

What is this? If it was a box, what would be inside it?

I shook the bigwet. It never occurred to me that it was just a box filled with metal.

My father and the previous Heavenly Demons must have tried everything. I tried injecting internal force, soaking it in water, and applying heat to it.

So I don’t plan on doing anything.

They said that if there is a relationship, it will be open. It doesn’t open until you solve the secret.

“Okay, if you don’t want to open it now, open it when it’s convenient for you.”

As I was looking at Bigwe, Samho spoke from outside.

“Extremely evil Soma has come to visit.”

When I went out, I saw an extremely evil Soma wearing a white mask standing under the moonlight.

“Soma-sama!”

“Sujiaoju!”

“I was planning to come see you tomorrow, but what happened?”

I was nervous that something had happened, but the reason he came was really unexpected.

“I came here because I wanted to see you.”

“!”

“Didn’t Master Xiao always visit me? “It has to be there when I come to visit.”

The moment I heard those words, my heart sank. When I visited him, he was always standing there looking at the white wall. No matter how helpful it was to my martial arts training, I always felt bad about being alone in an empty room.

But he came out of the room on his own and came to see me. Today, my father came down from the Great Master and the extremely evil Soma came out of the white room.

The faces of the guards standing guard around the residence were full of surprise. I would never have dreamed that that scary evil Soma would say something like that.

“What about being expelled from school?”

“Thanks to your concern, I had a great trip.”

Extreme Soma’s eyes were deeper than before.

“Somehow, Soma feels different.”

“I was able to achieve martial arts thanks to the Mannyeonseolsam given by Sogyoju. thank you.”

“How can it be because of just ginseng? “It’s thanks to Soma’s efforts.”

Soma laughed out loud, as if the expression “just ginseng” was funny.

“I’ve seen your face, so it’s okay.”

Extreme Soma immediately said goodbye as if he had come because he really wanted to see me, not because of any other business.

There are times when one action can be more moving than a hundred kind words. That was the case now.

I turned around and went next to the evil Soma who was walking away and walked side by side with him.

“What happened? It’s been a long time since I last saw you, but we can’t part ways like this. I’m going to play with Soma all night long. “I already declared to my father that I will play.”

After a moment, Extreme Soma spoke.

“As of now, I don’t know if the fate of Wulin will allow Lord Xiao to play.”

Even if I don’t make a grand fate, I won’t be able to play around even if I’m in a hurry. Of course, today is an exception.

“Then we should hurry. Before fate gets in the way.”
