Chapter 52: Test (1)
Everyone’s eyes turned toward Jinwoo. Soon after, Hayeon’s expression hardened. She realized Jinwoo indicated the ti limit with his gesture.
“By any chance, one month?”
“No,” he smiled, shaking his head.
“…One week?”
“That is too long.”
“Then one day? Are you ssing around?”
Not only Hayeon, but the expressions of those around her showed how preposterous it was. A year was impossible, but would a day be enough? It was impossible for even the swordmaster’s granddaughter.
At that mont, Jinwoo let out a laugh as he shook his head. “A single hour is enough.”
“How arrogant! And here I thought that the rumors were sure to be just rumors.”
“I have sothing scheduled tomorrow. I need to go ho and sleep.”
When Jinwoo answered lightly, Hayeon let out a long sigh and suppressed her anger. The swordmaster, too, was shocked by his remarks. Although it may have seed like he planned to express his refusal in this roundabout manner, Jinwoo seed determined. The swordmaster decided to watch quietly. He thought that it would be enough if Jinwoo showed him a little bit of anything if there was one worth showing.
“Could you show your hands for a mont?”
Jinwoo showed his hands to Hayeon. She carefully examined his hands while touching them with both of hers. It was strange to see a great beauty holding his hands. She also checked the shape of his arms.
“There are no traces of you ever using a sword.”
“You should be aware that I had a rather coddled upbringing.”
“…I understand. Then I’ll see you in one hour. Will the books be enough?”

Jinwoo returned to the guest room.
Yoona’s expression was indescribable.
“Master!”
“Hmm?”
“What in the world are you thinking?”
“Well, I’ve got nothing to lose, right? They’re the ones making the request, after all.”
“That may be true but at the slightest slip, we may gain the hatred of the Choi Clan Sword Sect.”
At Yoona’s worries, Jinwoo gave a small smile. The expressions of the bodyguards were no joke, too.
“So what if they hate us? Is there a problem?”
“…There’s none. As for affairs behind the scenes… haa… I’ll think about them,” Yoona said, gripping her head. Despite looking drained, her face remained fresh. She slapped her cheeks with both palms and contacted the Future Strategy Office. She looked extrely pressed and busy, but Jinwoo was relaxed.
Hayeon ca to the guest room and handed over a book containing the fundantal sword techniques to Jinwoo.
“You may freely use the training hall.”
“It’s all right.”
“…Then I’ll see you in an hour,” Hayeon lowered her head. She turned her back and disappeared.
Lee Jinwoo was a hated man. Because many events including this one had occurred, it would have been stranger if she saw Lee Jinwoo in a favorable light.
Yoona and the bodyguards exited the guest room; it was to give Jinwoo ti.
‘Honestly, I don’t even need an hour.’
One minute was enough. The issue of mana had been solved. He carried around a water bottle that contained mana. He did not drink other types of water but mana. It was too addictive. He ended up unable to drink other types of water.
“Shall we try it out then?”
Jinwoo looked through the book.
《Choi Clan Sword Sect Fundantal Sword Techniques》was written on the front. It did not feel like an old book, but a modern textbook. When he turned the pages, he found detailed descriptions of the postures and training thods. In truth, it wasalmostimpossible to learn from a textbook along. In martial arts stories, so learned from reading scrolls, but they were masters who broke out of their human limitations. Therefore, it was naturally the best idea to learn and practice the correct stances under the guidance of a master. However, this type of common sense did apply to Jinwoo.
His eyes turned gold soon as he looked at the book with Mana of Information.

* Raises understanding of swordsmanship.
As it was C-Rank, it was quite a high-level text. As anything B-Rank and above was treated as a national treasure, the status of the Choi Clan Sword Sect was clear from this. But it did not catch Jinwoo’s eyes. He already knew about the fantastical things that had yet to co.
‘It’s not like Dragonball or anything but…’
He knew about the future power inflation which would occur, which was capable of making readers question whether that level of intensity was acceptable for the novel.
Shortly after taking a sip of the mana stored in his water bottle, he placed his hand on top of the book. The intake of information was not hard to handle as he had already experienced it once. It was too easy that he thought it would have been nice if it had been just a bit harder. The information was saved in his head then spread throughout his body. It was the sa refreshing feeling he got from drinking a cold soda.
It was an enormous amount of information, but it quickly beca imprinted in his body. The feeling of his body rembering despite himself not being conscious of it was a strange feeling, like it was out of his control but would gradually grow better.
“…Hmm?”
He felt as if the information in one area was a bit different from the others. Jinwoo checked the skills he had learned with Mana of Information.
