The Great Demon
3. Learning Swing Techniques

"Now, I give you 6 hours to climb the mountain and take the flag. Whoever fails will not get food." Jang Hyo grinned.

Jin Hobin looked at the mountain peak then started running. "Ohh." Seeing Jin Hobin start running, 100 children started running after Jin Hobin.

2 Hours have passed. Jin Hobin is currently at the top of the mountain. "Ohhhh, haahhh. Looks like I'm the first one to arrive." Jin Hobin said gasping. Jin Hobin then retracted the black flag.

"Ahhh, I did it." A girl in white, long gray hair reached the top of the mountain.

"Are you Jin Hobin." The gray-haired female looked at Jin Hobin.

"Right, I'm Jin Hobin." Answer Jin Hobin.

"My name is Mira Yoo." The gray-haired woman smiled and extended her hand.

"Jin Hobin." Jin Hobin shakes Mira Yoo's hand.

"Jin Hobin's. Let's go down together. I heard there were some people waiting downstairs to steal someone who got the flag." Mira Yoo said she saw Jin Hobin.

"Right, I forgot this is the Demonic sect. Some people will use sneaky ways to get the flag." Mumbled Jin Hobin.

"Let's rest for a while. After we're not tired. We're going down together." Jin Hobin said sitting under a tree.

"Good." Mira Yoo smiled then sat down next to Jin Hobin.

"Jin Hobin, if you may know where you're from." Ask Mira Yoo.

"I'm from Shanxi." Answer Jin Hobin.

"Ahh, Shanxi yes. If I'm from Hunan." Reply Mira Yoo.

"I'm not tired. Let's go down." Jin Hobin stood up.

"Good." Mira Yoo stood up. Jin Hobin and Mira Yoo then descend the mountain together.

"Give both of you flags." Said two boys confronting Jin Hobin and Mira Yoo.

"Bas stupid." Mira Yoo grinned.

"Hey, what are you saying." Two boys saw Mira Yoo.

"Do you not know who he is." Mira Yoo saw two boys.

"Well, who is he." Two boys snorting.

"He's Jin Hobin." Mira Yoo smiled.

"Huh, what if he's Jin Hobin." Two boys sneered.

"I don't really want to fight. But I wanted to see the results of my 6-month training" Jin Hobin said then darted towards the two boys.

"Neck." Jin Hobin kicked one of the boys stomachs. "Uugghh." The boy fell down and held his stomach.

"Shoppers." Another boy cursed and attacked Jin Hobin. Jin Hobin evaded the boys and punched him in the chin. "Ohh." The boy screamed and fell to the ground.

"Mira Yoo, let's go." Jin Hobin said he saw Mira Yoo.

"Good." Mira Yoo smiled then walked beside Jin Hobin.

2 Hours later, Jin Hobin returns in front of the cave. "You two brought the flag. It's both of you're food." Said Jang Hyo giving 4 bakpaos to Jin Hobin and Mira Yoo.

"Rest in each of your rooms." Said Jang Hyo seeing Jin Hobin and Mira Yoo.

"Good." Jin Hobin and Mira Yoo then enter the cave.

"Jin Hobin take this." Mira Yoo gave 1 of her bakpa to Jin Hobin.

"I'm full of 1 bakpao." Mira Yoo smiled.

"Thank you." Jin Hobin said.

Mira Yoo smiled then walked into her room. Seeing Mira Yoo enter her room, Jin Hobin then enters her room.

Jin Hobin sat on the ground then started eating the bakpao. A few minutes later Jin Hobin had spent 3 bakpaos.

"Because my stomach is full. It's time to meditate." Jin Hobin said then started to close his eyes and began to meditate. As Jin Hobin meditated the invisible energy entered into Jin Hobin's body.

6 Months have passed. Currently Jin Hobin was meditating inside his room. "Wake up!." "Everything's gathered." Jin Hobin heard a scream. Jin Hobin came out of his room and walked to the center of the cave.

"From today you will practice with weapons." Said Jang Hyo looking at Jin Hobin and the other children.

"As you know, all weapons have become important elements in martial arts circles. Swords, Daggers and spears were basically these three weapons. You will choose one of these 3 weapons. So stand in front of the weapon you want to learn." Said Jang Hyo looking at Jin Hobin and the other children.

"Jin Hobin you choose what weapon." The whisper of Mira Yoo.

"I chose the sword." Jin Hobin replied then standing in front of the sword rack.

"It's a sword guide." Said the black-clothed man giving a sword and a book to Jin Hobin.

"Now you will be given time to study and practice your martial arts hard. The instructors will be here, so don't hesitate to ask whenever you want." Said Jang Hyo looking at Jin Hobin and the other children.

Jin Hobin sat on the ground then started reading the sword guidebook. "So it's the way of the sword." Jin Hobin said looking at the image of the movement of the person in the sword.

Jin Hobin stood up then imitated the movements in the guidebook. "The movement is very stiff. Looks like this is the first time he's been practicing sword techniques." Jang Hyo said she saw Jin Hobin.

1 Year had passed by this time Jin Hobin was meditating inside his room. "I've finally reached Beginner's level." Jin Hobin grinned.

"Everything's gathered." Jin Hobin heard a scream. Jin Hobin came out of his room and walked to the center of the cave.

"Today is the second test." Said Jang Hyo looking at Jin Hobin and all the children.

"Test 2." All the children were shocked to hear Jang Hyo said.

"Instructures, if we may know what the second test we're going to face is." Ask Mira Yoo

"Your 2nd test is to fight with wild animals." Said Jang Hyo.

"I know you've all improved your abilities. But half of you will probably die today." Jang Hyo grinned.

"Gleek." All the children gulped when they heard Jang Hyo said.

"Jin Hobin, Mira Yoo, Gyu Wol, Song Woo get inside that hallway." Jang Hyo said pointing at the 4 aisles.

"Good." Jin Hobin, Mira Yoo, Gyu Wol and Song Woo then enter into a different hallway.

As he entered the hallway Jin Hobin saw a 2-meter black wolf walking towards him. "I want to see the results of my training for 1 year." Said Jin Hobin darting towards the wolf.

"Grr." The wolf roared then shot towards Jin Hobin. "Dead." Said Jin Hobin slashing the head of the wolf that jumped towards him. "Crasssh." "Auu." The wolf howled as its face was hit by a slash.

"The wound is not deep." Said Jin Hobin looking at the wound on the black wolf's face.

"Because I can't kill him in one strike. I have to make this wolf blind." Jin Hobin said then swung his sword. "Crass." "Auu." The wolf howled as its right eye was hit by Jin Hobin's slash.

"Dead." Jin Hobin jumped then pierced the left eye of the wolf. "Aaauu." The wolf howled as Jin Hobin pierced his left eye.

"Death to the jackal of assholes." Jin Hobin cursed then pierced the wolf's neck many times. "Ceepp." "Ceeepp." "Grr." The black wolf then died after being stabbed by Jin Hobin many times.

"I wonder how many managed to defeat this black wolf." Jin Hobin said through the hallway.

"It looks like I was the first one to defeat a beast." Jin Hobin said he saw a room that was connected to 5 hallways.
