The Protagonists Are Murdered by Me

Talent Cultivation (4)

Celeste was learning to walk. It was not just the way to walk, but the way to mix the Chinese characters and call it the "method." It was similar to the steps that all practitioners basically learned. However, unlike the steps, the pavement did not rhythm.

How to walk.

It's really simple.

With one foot behind you, step forward with the other, then step forward with one foot forward. The process includes a detailed process of bending and folding your knees, twisting your heels outward from the front, and stepping back.

But the infantry had to twist the whole process.

The foundation of martial arts is body movements, and the foundation of those movements is foot movements. In other words, foot movement determines the movement of the entire body.

Even though I simply twisted the soles of my feet to the side, stepped on the heels of my feet first, or stepped on them a little bit more than usual, Celeste had to sweat.

“Why is that kid practicing how to walk? ”

“I don't know. It looks like my brother teaches them. ”

He watched as Celeste walked beside him. Since the previous debut, there have been many aspiring hunters enrolled in the steel gym, so many people were able to see Celeste's ‘Walking Practice’, but no one understood. I just wanted to do a little more than one unique exercise.

At first, Celeste couldn't understand either. Why do I have to practice this kind of walking in my yard when I'm too busy swinging my sword right now? It's also several times harder and more painful than a normal walk.

By the way.

After practicing prosthesis, after two weeks.

Celeste was able to realize.

‘Huh? ’

“Hmm?"

During a light duel with Kim, I didn't even know how to use it. Black D rank Celeste, the strong force of C rank, was so fast that it was inevitable to predict and prevent it without even relying on the response rate, and this time it was possible to report backwards with both eyes.

“(Miss Celeste. Movement's getting better, huh? Was it effective in the training of the steel?) ”

That's what Kim said, but Celeste shakes her head. Her vigor had progressed a little, but not to this extent.

It was purely because of the "law."

She may not have known it, but this was a theft of some of Harren Almus's SS-rank skills, highly SS-ranked, based on the Sword Master, which is why it was only imitated, but it was this effective.

Of course, it was an absurd level of pedestrian justice compared to the original. If the original rank is SSrank, the Sermon must only be copied from rank E to rank D.

In other words, it was the same as the fact that the ‘Mobility’ class of D rank superpowers had only been trained for two weeks.

‘Good. If we keep going like this... ’

Celeste was unwittingly excited. A sense of achievement that's not what it used to be. The fact that she has the maneuverability to evade attack against the strongest of the C ranks, she reaches for her sword without my knowledge.

“Ahh · ·! ”

The awkward passage doesn't follow you, and you twist your foot and fall.

*

Celeste was originally quite fond of training.

After Awakening the Strength of the E rank at an early age, I saw a noticeable increase in performance with each training.

On a scale of 10 to 11, and 12 to 13. Slowly, step by step. When others stayed in place, she made every effort to climb higher, and Celeste was once obsessed with training.

However, there was a day when that achievement was broken.

The duel with Okamoto Sanagi, a rival that grown-ups have chosen for themselves, has become a problem.

Okamoto Sanagi. A woman of twenty years old who became the strongest in C rank.

A year ago, Celeste was defeated in a duel with her when she was ranked E rank, and she was stuck in the gym after that day, conserving even time to eat.

But her growth rate was still the same.

Of course, it was a gift that had already been blessed just by continuing to grow, but that did not help.

It was growing at the same rate as itself.

If he was growing from 16 to 17, and 18, Sanaji grew from 26 to 27, and 28. Same growth rate. The gap cannot be narrowed.

It became her first wall. Apparently, she and her talent are on the same level. Only because I was born first, and then I woke up the body first.

Even after becoming a rival, Celeste was unable to keep up with her forever.

In the end, her father, who was not as discouraged as Celeste, invited her to teach her many lessons from all over the world, but Sanaki was also trained as a swordsman at the same level as Celeste.

The growth rate of the steel is clearly both the same level. Then, why don't we battle with swords instead of steel? Sanagi had a higher level of rigidity than Celeste, but the name of the swordsman was unfortunately worse than Celeste.

A ferocious swordsmanship in the eyes of Celeste was not only at the level of swinging the roof, simply believing in its power and speed.

However, the difference in strength and speed was overwhelming, so it was impossible to overcome even though I thought it was simple.

I can't keep up. It was a reality.

When I accepted that reality.

She met someone who had overcome the difference in power and speed for the first time.

Legend has it that Frank's physical ability overwhelmed him with just one sword. Seeing him, she thought:

‘There is a way to catch up to the wall. ’

People in the world only think of their "superpowers" as talents. However, there was definitely talent in sports before the superpowers occurred. In this age, it is only concealed by its superpowers that it cannot emit light.

The talent of swordsmanship.

Celeste, who only wielded, wielded and wielded her sword, was given the opportunity to bloom.

I had fun every day.

It was different from when I used to wield my sword dry, with a thin heart like before.

Everything I learned from the histories was all mysterious to the framed Celeste. How to walk, how to breathe, even the little things. For her, it was just a new world.

“(Are you feeling better?) ”

It's too late for that. All the other aspiring students were gone, but only Celeste remained. Although Kim originally lived in the gym and didn't care who was left, she came to worry about the crowd.

Kim looks worried for handing the water bottle to Chelsea, who is sitting on the bench and relaxing. Recently, she was working hard enough to see Kim, but strangely, she didn't seem to be tired at all. Rather, the more I swing the sword, the more powerful it seems, and that only feels strange.

“(Yes. Thank you.)”

She quietly drank water. Today, the tale is gone. He was definitely a hunter, who recently traveled between the gym and the reading room with very little to go to the dungeon. Kim said, "Isn't that what you're doing with your wallet?” When asked, he smiled and said that he was not worried because he had eaten a dungeon before.

"By the way, reading room." ’

There were definitely hunters with good discipline, but most of them were graded. I hardly studied except for basic common sense, unless I had the necessary expertise to hunt.

Of course, the lore was much more knowledgeable than any other hunter, and Celeste thought it looked pretty good, too. Still, for Hunter, the reading room is something. It was an awkward place.

What the hell are you studying there? ’

Even if I asked, I just answered that I was studying mathematics non-rigorous academics and did not give the right answer.

“(Low · · · ·.) ”

“(Hmm?) ”

Celeste raises her head and looks at Kim. There was one question I've always been curious about, and the one I was reluctant to ask myself.

“(Did he really beat my father, the Heirloom Hunter?) ”

His father retired, but is still an SS-rank hunter. It was hard to imagine the legend of the F rank hunter winning.

When he heard the question, he realized what the question was and laughed nonsense. However, I was reluctant to ask myself. Even so, I said it with my own mouth. But I wanted to hear it through someone's mouth someday.

“(That was eight years ago.) ”

Salvatore Costantini, a top S rank superstar, was a team of 12, including the story of the F rank's Hunter. They used to roam the wasteland hunting monsters, but Salvatore asked for a duel with other superpowers at every break.

He did not discriminate against people with abilities. On the contrary, even though he had the power of the S rank, he sincerely challenged the Frank's Hunter, Will Dame, to a duel.

“(The result is obvious 99 defeats. As a result, the story goes that he had never won a battle.) ”

“(So · · · · · · · · ·?) ”

When I thought he was lying to himself, Kim said with a bitter expression.

“(Their mission was almost over. All we have to do is seal off the gate from the monsters. And then came the worst of the" Curse Virus. ") ”

The superpowers of the SS-rank, known as the Kurs virus, scattered their ridiculous‘ cursed ’abilities all over the world and killed many. And if the Curse virus is really there, it's hidden away in the destination where the team from history was headed.

At that time, the Kurs virus encountered Salvatore Costantini first and put a curse on his daughter.

“(Yes · · · · · · · ·?) ”

In other words, Celeste was cursed eight years ago without her knowing it.

“(The curse simply took away the target's lifespan and ended in death a week later. Depending on the state of the superhuman, it would have been different, but · · · · · ·. Miss Celeste was nine at the time, and she didn't have superpowers, so she was probably pretty lethal.) ”

Then.

Salvatore, who was the top superpower of the S rank, awakened his ability to 'flutter’ that day. His ability to gain more power than his stats was later evaluated as an ’SS-rank', when Salvatore became the superpower of only 37 SS-ranks on the planet.

However, there were drawbacks to the ability of the storm.

Without having identified Pia at all, it would attack any creature that was indiscriminately visible.

The people around me were surprised that Salvatore, who was always smiling cheerfully, could make such a scary face. But I had to stop it rationally.

because if you kill the virus that cursed Celeste at the time, all the victims, including her, will die.

If Salvatore chases us here, we can't fight the gangsters! ’

‘Dammit, fighting against an ally of the SSrank while simultaneously fighting against a villain of the SSrank. There is zero odds.'

When are the reinforcements coming? ’

‘Will they be able to stop him if he comes? ’

‘If Salvatore comes, he'll definitely try to kill the Kurs virus. Yeah, I could kill him. With that power, you can. But · · ·. ’

I took something out of my mouth that someone didn't want to tell me.

‘When the rush is over and you find out that your daughter is dead because of you. Will he be able to lead a normal life? ’

Absolutely not.

In other words, the 11 hunters who were working on the operation at the time were given a tremendous mission to defeat and not kill Salvatore with SS-rank abilities, but also to defeat Billon of the SS-rank.

Impossible.

When you think about it.

The old wives' tale said.

‘I'll stop Mr. Salvatore. ’

‘· · · · · · · · What? ’

The only F-rank hunter here. But no one doubted his skills. He may have been incapable, but he was standing here with one skill.

He was also a more judgmental hunter than anyone else.

But no one here thought that the proverbial tale could hold Salvatore back. Everyone thought the same thing. ‘The story is that the will is to sacrifice itself.' This would allow them to successfully subdue Villon and then take Salvatore down as well before closing the case with just one casualty.

‘· · · · · · · · Just hold on. ’

‘Cause then we're gonna take that son of a bitch down quick and go back. ’

"If they're both alive, I'll come running and make it up to you!" ’

As such, 11 hunters have succeeded in defeating him successfully. Those who succeeded in forcibly disabling the Kurs virus's superpower and lifting all curses spread around the world were able to kill and look at each other.

It was too late.

It took me a week to kill him. During that time, I didn't think the story would hold. Nevertheless, they ran to retrieve the bodies by tracking the signal from the histories.

I saw an unbelievable sight.

Rather than dying, he was waiting there alone for Salvatore to pass out.

‘· · · You subjugated Salvatore? ’

‘Lucky me. There's a power plant nearby. ’

He spent an astronomical amount of money to deal with Salvatore, set up numerous pieces of equipment here, calculated the total number of fights, and even used a nearby power plant to blow up tanks. The powerless can't beat the superpowered, so he said he had to rely on technology, but no one could get close enough to say it.

The only thing that mattered was the fact that Frank's hunter defeated the SSrank's runaway abilities.

Kim nodded his head.

“(Then again · · · · · · · · ·. To put it bluntly, the plot thickens with Miss Celeste.) ”

“(Such · · that. I had no idea.) ”

I had never heard of so many Hunters risking their lives to fight for me without knowing it. When Chelsea spoke in a trembling voice, Kim said.

“(It's worth it. What happened back then was buried in the dark. You know, it's not a good image for a speedster. The foundation of Salvatore was an unshakeable position at the time. Well, it's political. Let's skip to that.) ”

“(Yes · · · · · · · · ·.) ”

“(You don't have to be so burdened. He was rewarded handsomely by Salvatore for what happened back then.) ”

Kim said that he would answer the phone. Celeste is still sitting on the bench, thinking clearly.

Now, she is. What you're doing to your savior.

‘Crazy. I... Pay for who? Hire who? ’

Despite a deep swamp of self-esteem, Celeste bows her head while covering her face with both hands. For a long time, the gym door opened and the black padded stormtrooper walked in with a case of potted plants in one hand and a plastic envelope in the other.

“Wow. Are you still doing this?) ”

“(· · Yes.) ”

“(Really? Do you want ice cream?)”

“(No.) ”

He waved the black envelope in his adamant words and lowered it with a frowny expression.

“(Yes · · · ·. I'll have two myself.) ”

“(No. Let's go eat. If I · · · anything. I'll buy you something delicious. Restaurant or buffet? Lobster or steak? Which would you prefer?) ”

“ (· · · · · ·?) ”

Seodam checked the clock.

“(It's 3am · · · ·?) ”

But Celeste ran to the showers, saying Gear wanted to feed her.

"What's wrong with him? The sun rises from the west today."

The sun doesn't rise from the west.

"· · That's what I'm saying."

Makes no sense · · · ·.

"What a fucking potted plant."
