Chapter 13: [The Seed Planted by Princess Arya] - (3)
"Is it really?"
"Yes. Arya is strong in her abilities, but she is inexperienced in how to deal with them. Arya will be stronger if she knows how to do it."
It was a problem that was also described in the original work.
Aria Riverin's ability was powerful, and although she herself often put in her efforts, perhaps because her ability was too strong, she was inexperienced in dealing with it.
It was because of her too powerful ability that she was swayed by her ability.
'I haven't realized it yet.'
The difference was that in her original work, she had already realized the problem herself and was training hard, and the development was that she was able to solve the problem based on her sparring with Seo Mun-hyeon.
In addition to that, in her conspiracy to target her, the princess of the kingdom of Liberin, she goes through the crisis she suffered along with her Seomun-hyeon, and grows in her fierce real battles.
"Can I help?"
"Yes, please."
Burning with her heat, she casually said a favor, and she was startled when she realized that her relationship with me was still her first meeting.
"Ah! That…Was it rude?"
I smiled softly at her expression of concern that she had offended her.
Then he reassured her.
"It's okay. I'm just giving you clues, what you need to learn directly is Arya's effort."
For the woman who would become my wife, this kind of favor was only natural.
But I didn't even say this to my inner thoughts, I calmly collected my heart.
If it had been before, I would have naturally focused my gaze on Aria's thighs visible through her open skirt, but now, while feeling the temptation, I was able to restrain my gaze from going straight to her.
"I will not forget this favor."
Arya said that she would not forget this grace as if it bothered her to be in debt to me.
'Yes. I must not forget.'
This grace of the day, she said, was to repay her revenge help for Seo Moon-hyeon and being my woman.
'Even if there is a meeting with Seo Moon-hyeon as in the original story.'
The seed planted at this moment today and the karma of the Seomun family itself were mixed, and Aria Riverin would become my woman, not Seomunhyun.
In order to do so, first of all, I gave sincere teachings.
"Hold the rapier and stand there for a while."
"Like this?"
"Yes. Please stay still for a moment."
As I said that, I moved behind Arya and grabbed her hand and side.
It felt soft, but to savor it here was a fool's undoing.
"Come on, go to sleep…"
"Concentrate."
Since she was younger than her original timeline, perhaps because her naive side still remained, after telling Aria to calmly focus on the flustered Aria with her face slightly reddened, I fixed Aria's posture and said,
"Now, I'll use her magical powers to lightly move Arya's body, so remember well how she feels now."
"…OK."
Arya was also embarrassed for nothing, perhaps because she felt that she was the only one who did something stupid, and she began to focus even though she was still shy.
Then I moved her magical energy and slightly manipulated her Aria's body.
The sword in Arya's hand stabbed me quickly, maintaining her softness.
"If we reach the stage where we can gently catch the dew falling from the leaves with our sword and put it back on top of the leaves, more applications will be possible. In that case, I wouldn't have been able to avoid using the level of strength I had before."
If it was me at the time when I was at the level of strength earlier, I would have been defeated because I couldn't avoid it.
And of course, Arya recognized the hidden meaning behind my words.
"Does that mean… Seo Mun-chun's real skills mean that I can't win even if I become stronger?"
"I'll keep that a secret."
After answering Arya's question with a smile, I removed her hand from Arya.
"Remember and practice that feeling just now. And think of flexible use of the power of light and lightning."
If that happens, the original techniques and even the special moves will be able to be reproduced.
"Flexible?"
"Yes. The attack power of light and lightning is also strong. Right now, the only problem is that the direction is too monotonous. An attack will be possible."
"Yes, thank you. I will remember and practice."
"Huh, yes. Then I'll go back soon. Levia will be waiting too."
"Wait a minute. I'm coming too."
After hearing Aria's thank you, I put on the mask again and Aria and I left the training room together and headed for the reception room.
* * *
'He's a mysterious person.'
Arya remembered her sparring with him, she thought.
It was a little regretful that she couldn't see his handsome face as she was walking with her mask on next to her, but more than that, she remembered his teachings.
It was her arrogance that made her worried that he would get hurt in her sparring with him.
Although he, the successor of the Yuchun Group, is a year older than her, his skills far exceed hers.
'How is it so strong?'
I had such a question.
How is this person so strong?
Despite being so strong, he is even the successor of the Yuchun Group.
While thinking about that, Aria suddenly remembered the time when he corrected her own posture.
It was only to the extent of holding her posture while lightly touching her hand and side, and he seemed to have no other intentions, but he felt like he was worried about her alone.
'I keep thinking about it… '
Arya kept thinking about her previous contact, which got on her nerves.
And when they returned to the guest room, it seemed that King Loius and Levia were just talking about business.
"Umm, if you do this…Ah, Aria. You're back. Is the sparring already over?"
"Yes…I lost."
Arya revealed her own defeat.
She had nothing to hide, and she had admitted to herself the difference between Seomuncheon and her own skills, and she was helped by him, so she didn't hesitate to speak up.
If she didn't resent her defeat, she would be lying, and although she has a promise to become stronger by working harder, she also heard her gratitude towards Seo Wencheon for teaching her the way to become stronger.
"You mean?"
King Loius looked at Seomuncheon, slightly surprised that Arya had been defeated.
Aria could feel that the evaluation of King Loius, who took off her mask again and looked at him with the hood down, changed one more time.
"You're amazing. You beat Arya. I'm not saying this because she's my daughter. Even if you think objectively, her Aria's abilities are hard to match among her peers."
"It's not necessarily like that. There are a lot of strong talents in Korea."
Arya felt that she had to work even harder.
'There are many people who are stronger than me.'
The Republic of Korea was a country where a lot of people with strangely powerful talents came out.
It is not accurate because there are many hidden strongmen such as unofficially retired people, but among the officially known strongmen in the top 1000 in the world, there are over 700 Korean nationals alone.
Even 250 non-Korean nationals were graduates of Korean academies.
'I won't lose.'
Arya vowed to work even harder not to lose to them, and watched Seomuncheon, who was sitting in her seat, start talking about business between King Loius, Yuchun Group, and Riverin Kingdom.
"We will increase the number of branches of Yuchun Energy in Riverin Kingdom. By doing so, more magic stones will be converted into energy at a cheaper price, which will lower the price of energy consumed in Riverin Kingdom and improve the quality of life of the people. ."
"Yes, please be sure to ask. I will help you as much as I can with tax matters."
As she watched him do his job as the successor to the Yuchun Group, Aria vowed that she would one day show him a stronger side of herself as an Awakener.
* * *
After saying goodbye to King Loius and Aria, I left the Kingdom of Riverin and returned to Korea, teaching Arya and calmly capturing the vengeful spirit that had risen to the surface so that it would not come to the surface.
'I gathered all the skills that looked good while synchronizing. With this, I can take the revenge I plan.'
Name: Remembered Favor
Grade: D
Type: Passive
Effect: Those who receive your help do not easily forget it.
Among them, there were also these types of skills.
If I had intended, it would have been possible to capture all the heroines before entering the academy and make them obey my words unconditionally.
But that wasn't what I was hoping for.
'That's why I can't take revenge.'
Even if the heroines did not end up dating Seo Mun-hyeon, they had to make Seo Moon-hyeon feel close and happy.
That's when I had to knock him down in every way.
For the sake of revenge against the Seomun family and Seomunhyeon, he could endure any amount of desire.
Defeating the eternal dragon, Terenity, would also be me, not Seo Mun-hyeon.
No honor would go to Seo Mun-hyeon.
All he had was fall and despair.
'In the original work, Seo Mun-hyeon was the last hope.'
If it had not been for Seo Mun-hyeon, the Republic of Korea would have become the first country in the world to perish without stopping Terenity, and eventually the entire earth would have entered the path of destruction.
However, Seo Mun-hyeon was no longer the only way to kill Terenity.
Although it was said that the secret of the Preface family could deal a blow to Terenity's immortality, defeating him was a separate story.
That's why I needed a special characteristic that only Seo Moon-hyun had, but I was also able to do that.
"Then shall we go and give Minhye a present?"
And before that, I had something to check.
