Another League’s ‘testing corner’ marketing ended successfully. In this event, they disclosed Sunyoung Swordsmanship’s basic movent such as slashing, stabbing, and parrying as well as a few other 1-circle magic.
Because it wasn’t a face-to-face lesson but an online class, many people would be unable to imitate it even if they saw the video. However, for so people who work hard enough and at the sa ti smart enough, they would be able to implent it to so extent.
The question is, would they be satisfied with just a few moves and few 1-circle magic? Of course not.
In order to learn the full version of magic and mugong they had no choice but to join Another League. Even those who were talented enough to learn it through the video will eventually et a dead end and join Another League.
Moreover, the majority of superhumans on Earth were actually filled with people with body strengthening-type abilities. So, when a beautiful woman such as Celeste was introduced as the instructor for body strengthening-type groups, the response couldn’t be more explosive.
“That’s why you need to work hard.”
“Heeeuk… understood!”
Currently, I was sitting cross-legged on top of Celeste. She was in the middle of doing a ‘hand stand push-up’ with only one finger on each hand, with a 100kg sheet of iron on both of her legs.
No matter how strong a C-rank superhuman was, doing a handstand push-up with only one finger in an imperfect posture would be quite laborious. I only ordered her to do this kind of exercise to teach her how to explosively move her qi and ether beyond the limit of C-rank superhuman.
It was sothing that could be done rather easily if one was handling mana. However, I honestly don’t know if it was possible with qi and ether. That’s why I’m currently experinting with Celeste. I am really glad that she ca.
“I’m… I’m…. Dying…!!”
“OHO! Don’t give up! One more!”
“I’m… really… Dyin-keuuuk!”
In one fluid movent, Celeste bent forward and snatched the iron plate in the air before landing on the floor. Looking at her complexion it seems like she’s not injured, she was just tired.
“It seems like ether and essence is completely different.”
“Sorry???”
“No, no. Next experint…No, let’s move on to training.”
I put my hand on her abdon, and pulled up my mana and activated my newly acquired skill.
[Holy Conversion(F)]
It was a skill that converts mana into holy power that could heal wounds and fatigue. Because it was only F rank, the conversion rate was around 1/50. It wasn’t a skill that could be used often. But when I squeezed out all of my mana, Celeste’s complexion improved to so extent.
Unlike talent, skill could be upgraded by using it repetitively. I was able to find out about this fact thanks to Yekaterina, who constantly entered the Library of the White Witch and raised the rank.
However, it was almost impossible for to raise the skill rank through effort alone because of my abysmal talent just like what the system had explained. My talent was preventing from doing anything related to effort. Well, it doesn’t matter now. It would be better than not doing it at all, though.

Even though my energy stats were still 1, I had beco a S rank hunter. You could say that I beca a F rank with ridiculous strength…. However, Yekaterina, who recently visited the Hunter Association, had told that the association had their own way to test the power of Murim and Magicians who use ‘essence’ energy. I may be able to get my S rank license sooner or later.
There were quite a lot of differences between the S rank and the A rank.
First of all, when one becos S rank, they could grasp the movents around them with the slightest disturbance in the air. It could also happen if one had [Sixth Sense] skill, but because I already had the skill, it seems like it automatically beca a B rank.
In addition to that, one could move their body more freely. Even if 2 people had the sa stats, an A rank could only use 70 to 80% of their stats, while the S rank could display 100% of their power.
[Concentration] skill had also beco SS rank. Thanks to that, I was able to clearly grasp the flow of mana flowing around . Also, I was able to partially summon ‘Library of the White Witch’ in front of .
Not long ago, when I was experinting with the partial summon of ‘Library of the White Witch’ I t Yekaterina who was fast asleep inside the library.
It seems like she was overworking her body quite a lot even though she was happy because she could do anything she wants.
In many ways, I feel complicated. Because Yekaterina, who was brought here to serve as my substitute when I wasn’t around, was surrounded by hundreds of tis more work than . So, when I, the guild master, had recently been in a position where I received my salary from Yekaterina, I had nothing to say.
I was only soone who gave direction for the guild, while Yekaterina was the one who executed it and raised Another League.
“Are you okay now?”
“…I am dying.”
“By the way, you speak Korean now?”
“Study….”
She was still stuttering, and could only speak short sentences. But it’s still nice since I didn’t have to bother using Italian now. She started to run away from with a weird noise. She looks like a cute younger sister while doing it. I watched quietly before telling her.
“Okay, next is a special lesson in swordsmanship.”
Hearing my words, Celeste raised her body with glistening eyes. Sohow, her obvious behavior made burst into laughter.
“Do you like swords so much?”
Nod nod.
“If you like it so much, why don’t you marry a sword?”
Shake shake.
“Do you understand my words?”
Then she pondered for a while before replying in Korean.
“I also like to ride horses.”
(T/N: ‘Horse’ and ‘Words’ have the sa hangul.)
“Oh, yes….”
“I’m joking.”
“So, you can joke too, huh?”
“I will marry soone who is skilled in swordsmanship.”
[E/N: another flag raised. Congrats on a new mber ¬.¬)
“Is there anyone like that?”
I could only think of one person that fit in Celeste’s criteria. It was Seol Jungyeon. Whenever she wields a sword, she looks like a pink lotus flower that blooms under the sunset. Shin Hye-ji often told that, sotis Seol Jungyeon’s enemies fall into ecstasy because of her beautiful swordsmanship without even realizing that they were dead.
Of course, the swordsmanship Celeste ans was a swordsmanship that explosively releases energy and sharply cuts through the enemies, not Murim swordsmanship which effectively strengthened people of Murim’s lack of abilities to the limit. However, whatever it was, in front of Seol Jungyeon who had already reached the peak of swordsmanship, it was all aningless.
“I will introduce soone who uses swords well to you later…. I don’t know about marriage, but you might like her.”
“Good!”
Celeste’s eyes sparkled in expectation.

“Yes, father. I’m doing well.”
While walking through downtown Gangnam in the late evening, Celeste called her father, Salvatore Costantini.
Since she had beco a top Ytubers who got 10M subscribers in just one month, she had to use a mask to cover her face because too many people know her.
-Hahaha! I never thought that Yoo Seodam, that guy, would beco my daughter’s instructor.
“I am now his exclusive disciple.”
-Isn’t it ans the sa?
“It’s completely different!”
Actually, Celeste was very happy these days. While wielding swords and hunting monsters to strengthen herself was indeed exciting, when it ca to real swordsmanship training, training under Yoo Seodam was way better.
She was happy even though Yoo Seodam always treated her as if she was a punching bag or an experintal subject.
Every ti they clashed against each other, she could feel the fact that she was alive. She could feel that she was becoming stronger than before.
-Good! Anyway, I’m glad you seem to be doing well!
Unlike herself, his father, Salvatore Constantini had a fiery personality but at the sa ti cooler than anyone else. When he was angry, he was scarier than anyone else.
“How about you father? Are you well?”
-Of course, I am! I’m still young!
Celeste looked slightly worried. Few years ago, her father had lost his arms in a mission. The fact that a right-handed swordsman lost his right arm was the sa as being completely disabled. It could be said that it was almost impossible for him to act as a hunter anymore.
Nevertheless, he continued to work as a hunter with his left arms, but because of his wounds, his health continued to deteriorate, and he had to lie in bed all the ti.
Probably, her obsession to get stronger was related to this.
Like a madman, she kept swinging her sword. There was no other way apart from constant training to sharpen her body strengthening ability. She had no ti for anything else other than swinging her sword. It was because she couldn’t feel that she was becoming stronger. At least, before she t Yoo Seodam for the first ti.
-By the way, from what I see in the video, I think you’ve beco quite relaxed now. To think my daughter could make a joke….
“……”
Salvatore was sincerely thrilled. Ever since Celeste was a child, she had always been a mature kid. But recently she had started acting like her age. Sotis she would take selfies and post them on her social dia although she was expressionless like always. And sotis she would also crack jokes that seem to resemble soone Salvatore knew.
-Now, stop doing what you used to do just focus on your own life.
“Yes. I will, father.”
With those words, the phone call ended and Celeste quietly turned her head towards the big television on one side of the street. However, her mind wasn’t focused on it at all.
‘…..’
She recalled the day when her father told her the story. He was still smiling brightly as he touched the wound on what was left of his right arm. He said that he confronted a warrior of Murim and survived. He said that his lost right arm was nothing but a wound of glory.
Afterwards, he told Celeste not to worry, because the ‘Supre One’, who imposed a ban on the people of Murim ca in between the fight and cut off the Murim warrior’s neck.
But Celeste knew that her father’s words were false. Because in the first place there was no sign that the Supre One had arrived, there was also no trace of the battle, and that man’s body had never been found.
She knew that his father was trying to prevent her from taking revenge for him. However, the fla of vengeance in her heart couldn’t be extinguished. Her goal was to find him and cut his right arm, just like what he did to her father.
She knew it wouldn’t be easy because he was a man who defeated her father. It was a goal that couldn’t be achieved in a short period of ti, so she was making an effort in order to achieve it even a mont faster.
-The Chinese claims that martial arts are theirs. In this regard, the leader of the Murim League, Seol Jungyeon, directly said…
On TV, a video of Seol Jungyeon, the leader of the Murim League as well as the strongest swordsman in the world, was broadcasted. Celeste looked at her for a long ti.
