Descendants cannot attack a royal lineage to whom they are bound by blood and roots.
Kim Shinrok, who lived a long time as a descendant of the Tiger Clan and Bear Clan, knew this better than anyone else. 𝗳𝐫𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝗯𝐧𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
However, he never thought he would get this feeling in a mediated match.
‘Jo Euishin said he could use Baekho-nim’s power. I forgot.’
Rather than forgetting, he just didn’t imagine it.
It was a thought at the back of his head, but he couldn’t think of it when he saw Hongryong summoned by Jo Euishin.
It was surprising that he handled Hongryong more skilfully than Yeom Junyeol, but it wasn’t easy to think that he would use the power of the Tiger Clan’s best martial artist at the same time.
Kim Shinrok looked up at Jo Euishin who afloat on Hongryong.
‘To deal with the power of two people at the same time. Is that possible?’
If Jo Euishin actively used Baekho’s power, he would be helpless.
However, Jo Euishin didn’t seem to have any intention of doing that.
Jo Euishin was gaining Baekho’s power at some point.
‘His goal isn’t simply to win. Whatever Jo Euishin’s intentions are, I should reduce my opponents as first planned.’
Kim Shinrok gathered his thoughts and confirmed Yeom Junyeol’s location.
If it were a completely open space, it would’ve been difficult for him to target Hongryong, but it was a closed training ground.
There was a limit to the ceiling, and he had walls he could jump off from.
‘Yeom Junyeol is better than his peers, but he’s still inexperienced. He has a lower skill level than Jo Euishin, and his energy waves are inferior too. The more agitated he gets, the simpler his movements become.’
Every time he launched tacks, he completely understood how Yeom Junyeol would dodge.
The problem was Jo Euishin.
He seemed to understand that Kim Shinrok knew Yeom Junyeol’s movements and calculated this to make the next attack.
He had to narrow the distance and suppress Yeom Junyeol before Jo Euishin could interrupt.
Hwaaak!
A flame suddenly came his way and he had to use the knife to shake it off.
He couldn’t think for quite a while because of the flames that flew from many directions simultaneously. freewebno vel.com
Kim Shinrok cooly set off a flame for a way out, but his mind was complicated.
‘Jo Euishin and Yeom Junyeol both summoned a dragon, so it’s more like four against one.’
It was difficult to react immediately because the two people’s dragons fired flames while they also launched attacks.
When he saw Hongryong flying in the sky, Kim Shinrok thought of something.
‘If I could use my light skill well, it would be four against two instead.’
Since Kim Shinrok can summon a bear and a tiger, it would technically be four to three, but he didn’t consider summoning a bear.
Kim Shinrok felt the need for his light skill, but he could hardly use it.
‘My light skill is not suitable for use in front of the Tiger Clan’s eyes, but Hwangho-nim, Baekho-nim, and Jeokho-nim expect me to use it to be prepared for any situation. I want to meet their expectations’
He spoke to himself as if he were determined, but his light skill couldn’t be used.
He tried to recall the sense of the moment when he used it a long time ago, but he couldn’t think of what he was thinking at that time.
He only vaguely remembered that he summoned a tiger and a bear naturally as if he were breathing, and that Yong Jegun was watching ecstatically and made a face.
As Yong Jegun made such a face in his memory, his emotional heart soared and Kim Shinrok stopped thinking.
Even in Kim Shinrok’s recollection, Yong Jegun was of no help.
In the end, he decided to deal with the situation with only his skills.
Fwaat!
Kim Shinrok fixed his knife and jumped toward Yeom Junyeol.
The reaction between the two was delayed for a moment because he lept so fast that Jo Euishin could not intervene.
When he saw Kim Shinrok rushing like that, Yeom Junyeol urgently launched a flame.
Hwiiik!
However, Yeom Junyeol’s flames lost output, and the tack thrown by Kim Shinrok quickly extinguished it.
Yeom Junyeol’s expression from beyond the smoke was noticeably blurred.
He tried to avoid it by moving Hongryong as if he realized that he couldn’t stop Kim Shinrok with flames alone.
But Kim Shinrok already expected this.
Kim Shinrok kicked the wall and rapidly changed directions, aiming for Yeom Junyeol’s torso.
Fwoook!
Yeom Junyeol didn’t scream, but he stumbled.
After landing on the ground, Kim Shinrok intended to throw a knife immediately to drop Yeom Junyeol to the floor.
Kim Shinrok, who has no order, was a tough player who chose not to be able to climb on the fiery Hongryong.
However, just before throwing his weapon, Jo Euishin once again protected Yeom Junyeol.
Kim Shinrok couldn’t resist the sense of the tiger that blocked him.
“Euh…!”
Tok.
Perhaps because it was just before loading it with force, the knife fell to the floor with the thud of metal.
Jo Euishin lifted Baekho’s power and flew toward Yeom Junyeol.
After checking that Yeom Junyeol was okay, Jo Euishin looked at him again, alert.
Kim Shinrok lamented.
‘I almost caught him…! I won’t win at this rate.’
An angry, harsh thought soared.
Against his student, Kim Shinrok quickly came to his senses to not treat Jo Euishin as the Tiger Clan’s benefactor.
He was very disappointed in himself.
At that time, Jo Euishin spoke as if he saw through Kim Shinrok’s thoughts.
“You can’t stop me because I’m using the power of the Tiger Clan. If you could use your current power, you wouldn’t have been killed by the Bear Clan.”
At the mention of the Bear Clan, Kim Shinrok felt like a flame in his body arose.
He was confident that he would be able to throw a knife at that Rhinoceron’s head, but he was swayed like a toy just because it was the Bear Clan who had that monster.
“You are strong, Professor Kim Shinrok. But your strength is limited, and you don’t try to fight for yourself. But can you endure losing this way to a human who isn’t even a tiger?”
Jo Euishin referred to himself as human, but it was difficult to treat him that way especially since he stays in the main house of the mansion.
Since Jo Euishin is a benefactor who is close to the Tiger Clan and also his personal benefactor, Kim Shinrok couldn’t treat him carelessly.
But Jo Euishin was right.
It was beyond comprehension.
Kim Shinrok was a child who had a strong desire for victory since his youth, and he still is.
He was angry that he couldn’t win.
“Hongryong embodies his power. I can’t summon him if he doesn’t want to fight for me.”
The old memories that didn’t come to mind seemed to become clearer at Jo Euishin’s words.
Kim Shinrok recalled the moment he used his light skill in front of his only friend.
***
Kim Shinrok was fully focused on me and Yeom Junyeol.
He couldn’t really care about the situation outside the boundary.
There’s a story about Kim Shinrok that I heard from Yong JEgun.
Kim Shinrok’s mischievous days are implied by his teacher Baekho-gun.
Things that can be guessed based on Jeokho’s nature.
What I read from Kim Shinrok’s attitude.
Putting them all together, I think it’s as expected.
‘Kim Shinrok is trying to control his emotions and giving up because of his surroundings, but the truth is different. Kim Shinrok is a troublemaker full of competitive spirit.’
A tragic child born between the Tiger and Bear clans who went through a period of inhospitable growth.
A cold-hearted torture export that the Tiger Clan boasts.
A good and friendly teacher who can make students like Ahn Dain and Sung Gukeon follow him.
It’s difficult to guess because of this, but Kim Shinrok is actually a descendant of the Jeokho and was born with his passion.
Since he forcibly killed and suppressed this, there’s no way that he can properly use his light skill, which summons an existence that can be treated as his own alter ego.
Yeom Junyeol told me something when he summoned Hongryong.
— When I first summoned Hongryong?
— When it was time to use my light skill, I realized that I could summon a dragon. I was very happy to use my light skill which is descendend from the Dragon Clan.
— When I said this, everyone wanted to see Hongryong, so we decided to have a demonstration in the Red Lion’s banquet hall.
When Yeom Junyeol’s light skill awakened, all the dragons and Red Lion members gathered in one place.
He knew how excited everyone must have been that such a nice and excellent Yeom Junyeol could summon a dragon.
The Dragon Clan, Red Lion, and his family wanted to be strong for his sake, and they always thought and considered Yeom Junyeol’s safety.
But that wasn’t the only thing.
— I’ve been looking forward to the day when I can use my light skill. Everyone’s been spending a lot of time because I need security.
I’m sure all the dragons like it so much that they fight for the position.
Yeom Junyeol added something with a wry smile as if he had guessed that.
— Actually, I want to summon a dragon strong enough so that no one from the Dragon Clan will be lost. It’s both pleasing and deeply upsetting that someone should continue to secure my safety.
After hearing that, I could see more clearly what I should do to induce Kim Shinrok to use his light skill.
‘I need to encourage Kim Shinrok, make him struggle, and then he’ll use it.’
If he can already use his light skill naturally, we won’t have to worry about this.
But Kim Shinrok needs a prescription stronger than any medicine.
I decided to take a jab at Kim Shinrok’s nature which he tried so hard to bury.
Watching Kim Shinrok thinking with a firm expression, I looked outside the training ground.
I thought the clan heads would be displeased because I was scratching Kim Shinrok like this, but it looked peaceful outside.
“I can’t believe our Junyeol-ie endured so well! That’s great! The moment the kick hit him, I almost felt it too and ran in, but I held out.”
“I almost stepped into the boundary.”
“Well, by the way, I feel the energy of a royal lineage from the Dragon Clan’s benefactor. He’s handling Hongryong similar to Junyeol, but now I can feel royal lineage’s energy from him…”
“It’s the power of Tiger Clan that stopped Kim Shinrok. It’s safe to say that the benefactor of the Tiger Clan, Jo Euishin, is a tiger.”
“Isn’t that hard to say when he’s literally controlling a dragon?”
The clan heads were still at their nonsense.
I am a human.
I pretended not to hear them and looked at Yeom Junyeol’s complexion.
Hongryong’s flames noticeably weakened, but there seemed to be no problem with his light skill yet.
Fwaaat!
The moment I looked away, Kim Shinrok rushed toward me.
Did he decide to act on the provocation instead of aiming for Yeom Junyeol again?
Maybe he thought it would be better to deal with Baekho-gun’s power first.
I put Hongryong in front of the weakened Yeom Junyeol and kept my distance.
Hwaaak!
Yeom Junyeol hurriedly launched flames.
I thought he did it to keep Kim Shinrok in check, but he aimed in a different direction.
There was something at the tail of Yeom Junyeol’s Hongryong.
Grrrr…!
Something with lightning was wailing its neck low.
A tiger summoned by Kim Shinrok.
