Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 29

10. Lee Ji-hye (4)

When common sense is broken, the impact on people is great.

What’s more, Lee Ji-hye, a high-ranking hunter with a climax, is nothing but Superman in the eyes of ordinary people. As much as she had a lot of things that she could do because of her superior abilities, the shock she received when she saw a phenomenon outside of it was not normal.

“No, over there.”

Her speech was barely open after a while.

“The sword that I was thinking of wasn’t like this…….”

The Simsword is the ultimate utopia that every warrior dreams of.

This includes not only those who use swords, but also those who do not use swords.

As the saying goes, the sword is the weapon most commonly used by the Murim people. That’s why it’s commonly referred to as a deep sword, but no one really thought that it was only a swordsman.

The reason why I have to explain it so vaguely is because finding a person who has reached the state of the deep sword was like picking the stars in the sky.

If anyone could reach it in the first place, I wouldn’t even have used the word ‘ultimate utopia’.

In the case of the Igear sword, of course, this is a very difficult state, but it is quite common (?). Because I was able to use it when I was a teenager. Looking at it often (?), I can define it as, ‘Ah, the sword that flies like that is an Iggy sword!’.

But the sword is not like that.

There were very few people who said they had reached it, but there was no way to know if it was really a deep sword. Because the sample was too small.

“Then what were you thinking?”

“It was the way most of the Moorim imagined. You say underwater sword (手中無劍), heart-heart sword (心中有劍), right? It was like cutting everything in one glance.”

So, the appearance of the Simsword, as often referred to by the masters, was as Lee Ji-hye said.

No need for weapons. A state where you can kill anyone with your will, and you can cut and crush anything.

The performances of those who said they had reached the state of the sword, which remained in the records, were roughly like that.

“You mean this?”

Cha Shin Hyeon asked.

Lee Ji-hye, who was about to ask what she was asking, changed her complexion.

She reflexively took a step back from her and took her defensive stance.

A beat late after taking her action, she felt strange.

Apparently, he was trying to detect and defend against something invisible flying towards him, but it suddenly disappeared.

“It doesn’t require a weapon, it’s invisible, and it doesn’t consume the caster’s power. Is this the image you are thinking of?”

“No, that’s right. I thought this was a heart sword.”

Lee Ji-hye, who affirmed, immediately tilted her head.

“However… … Do you feel a little different from before?”

“of course. Because this is not a heart sword shape.”

Cha Shin Hyeon replied simply.

“Yes?”

“It means that all the people who used to say this was the state of the heart sword were all scammers. Of course, they didn’t even have a status window, and it’s definitely a level higher than the Igear sword, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to ‘mistake’ it as a deep sword.”

“… … So what is this?”

“It is a kind of applied technology that becomes possible when you enter the late 70s. Should I call it an intangible sword? I can imitate some of the things that a heart sword can do.”

The field of application is also limited, but even it is not the same, it just follows the same.

The shape of the intangible sword and the true heart sword was as different as a monkey and a human.

“The intangible sword goes through a transition period before going to the deep sword. It’s like an egg before hatching. It will depend on whether you succeed in hatching and step into the beginning of the deep sword, or if you fail and end up with an egg…”

The young inside the eggshell have an instinct to break the egg and come out.

However, Mu-in does not even know that the current state is an egg.

Even with the Igear sword, a few people cannot reach a generation, but by the time they reach the intangible sword, which is a higher level than that, he is the unwavering first person in the world. Your nose will rise and your self-esteem will increase.

Since the intangible sword alone is huge, I don’t think there will be a higher level than that. It doesn’t seem to improve even with practice.At best, they vaguely think, ‘Isn’t it even an allegorical line higher than this?’ Therefore, the intangible sword is mistaken for a deep sword.

“ Did Cha Shin Hyeon come out of an egg?”

“You don’t even know how helpful the status window is for training.”

The uninhabited status window does not directly help with stats like the hunter’s status window.

However, being able to see one’s own level accurately is of great help beyond imagination to a man who needs to raise his level through training.

It was thanks to the status window that Cha Shin Hyeon was able to reach the shape of a sword. He was convinced that there was a higher level than the intangible sword, so he did not neglect his training.

“It’s sure to help, but…”

Lee Ji-hye muttered bitterly.

“After I reached level 60, I started to lose my temper. I didn’t go up that much. Just because I practice for as long as Cha Shin Hyeon, I wonder if I will be able to get there.”

“As in any field, skills are not in order of age. Wouldn’t it be great if martial arts rose as much as you invested? To be honest, there must be a difference in talent.”

At Cha Shin Hyeon’s point, Lee Ji-hye agreed with her gloomy expression on her face.

She’s not brazen enough to admit that she’s not good enough, even after making sure she has a huge skill gap. Lee humbly admitted that she lacked neither talent nor effort compared to Cha Shin Hyeon.

“Anyway… … There are many more stories I would like to share, but I will put them on hold for later. It’s late and I’ve already taken enough time.”

“I do. Did you rate me enough?”

“It’s too much. She made sure that the Dawning couldn’t bear it.”

Lee Ji-hye let out her sigh.

She opened her inventory, put her dagger in, and pulled out her cell phone.

“Please give me your number.”

“It’s my first time getting a number from a woman.”

With a light joke, Cha Shin Hyeon took the phone.

After taking a picture of her number and handed it over, Ji-hye Lee closed her inventory after she finished registering her phone book.

“I will contact you again within two or three days. We will meet again at that time to discuss the exact details of the sponsorship.”

“will wait.”

“Yes, then.”

Lee Ji-hye nodded.

“Ah, please tell the manager Cha that I’m sorry. You must have been very anxious about me.”

“Don’t pass it on. But why did you come with Eunseol? He didn’t come home right away.”

“Before I met you, I wanted to talk to the car manager. I was wondering if there might be some information I could get while talking. Well, personally, I think she’s a promising hunter, so she’s always been interested.”

“I just want you to pay attention.”

She said it in passing, but she was a warning to her sister not to mess around with it.

“As I said before, I have no intention of pretending to be with you. There aren’t any more now. Do not worry.”

“Trust me.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shook his head and turned around.

As he was about to take his foot off, he asked, as if in a sudden thought.

“Well, who is watching you?”

“… … Yes?”

“The man in the silver-gray sedan. 47 two 7812.”

When she called her license plate correctly, Lee Ji-hye smiled.

“Did you even know that?”

“I’ve been looking at this since I left the apartment, can’t you see?”

“I am the secretary. They are waiting to take me.”

“I’m glad if it’s not a follow-up. After all, who would do something like that?”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had a picky smile, gave a light bow and moved forward.

As he disappeared into the building, Lee Ji-hye then walked to the silver-gray sedan with an exhausted gait.

Donghwan Oh, who was in the driver’s seat, hurriedly got out and opened the back door.

She buried her body in the back seat of her, as if she had collapsed.

“I’m going home.”

“Yes.”

The car immediately pulled out of the apartment parking lot.

Oh Dong-hwan, who looked at Lee Ji-hye’s complexion in her room mirror, asked worriedly.

“Are you okay?”

“No, it’s not very good.”

Lee Ji-hye said in a tired voice.

The number of direct confrontation with her was small, so the consumption of her stamina or energy was not great, but it was difficult for her to use the shadow play with her power. Her MP ran out and she was mentally exhausted.

“It looks like you even used shadow play…”

“Even then, I couldn’t get my hands on it.”

“Yes?!”

Oh Dong-hwan was surprised.

Although he was aware of his position as a mere attendant, he did not express any doubts, but to Donghwan Oh, who did not know the martial arts, Cha Shin Hyeon was just a novice hunter who did not even understand why Lee Ji-hye ordered the investigation.

It doesn’t make sense to use shadow play against such an ignorant guy, but you didn’t even touch it? I thought I heard something wrong.

Lee Ji-hye sighed, but she didn’t elaborate further.

After her silence for a while, she opened her mouth and instructed.

“ Destroy all the research you did about Cha Shin Hyeon. It also deletes all data on the Heonhyup side. If you can, erase everything that anyone thinks deserves a sense of uniqueness.”

“all right.”

If you do, do it without saying a word.

No matter how curious you are, you don’t take it out until your boss tells you first.

Oh Dong-hwan was very thorough in this regard. Thanks to that, I am here as Lee Ji-hye’s secretary.

“Especially if Twilight knew of him, he would surely approach him… … . We’ll find out sooner or later, but try to delay that time as much as possible by blocking the information. They must be drawn in as allies before they approach at dusk.”

“… … Is that enough?”

However, this time I was so curious that I couldn’t help but ask.

Understanding her case, Lee Ji-hye did not criticize Oh Dong-hwan’s question.

“In a nutshell, if Cha Shin Hyeon joins hands with Twilight.”

she murmured in her heavy voice.

“We are done.”

* * *

“it’s okay?”

Cha Eun-seol, who was still standing in the doorway, ran out as soon as Cha Shin Hyeon returned home.

“As you can see.”

He pointed to clothes that were not covered in dust, Cha Shin Hyeon said lightly.

“Sorry. Because I brought you home…”

“He is someone who would have come to you alone, even if you refused. I have no regrets. It was a useful conversation from my point of view.”

“Did you even ask your brother about the Seo Joong-hyun case?”

“It was there too.”

How far should I say it? Cha Shin Hyeon pondered for a moment.I decided not to bring up the story of Seo Kang-jin, who was supposed to be buried. This is because the person Cha Eun-seol had a conflict with was Seo Joong-hyeon, not Seo Kang-jin, his father.

Seo Kang-jin That person wasn’t actually missing, but I killed him.

… … When she told her sister, she had nothing to gain. Sometimes not knowing is medicine. Cha Eun-seol didn’t have a vicious personality, enough to applaud him for killing the old man so well.

Then, only the explanation of Lee Ji-hye remains…

After thinking for a while, Cha Shin Hyeon made a decision.

“To be precise, after seeing the incident where Seo Joong-hyun was injured, the head of the guild seemed to suspect that I was the culprit.”

“Huh? No, how?”

“The vice guild leader is learning martial arts.”

“What?!”

Cha Eun-seol’s eyes widened.

“So he guessed that it was a technique that could be done without skill, even if it wasn’t a skill, and you and I, who had an argument just before, came to mind.”

One of the reasons why Lee Ji-hye tried to bury Seo Kang-jin’s disappearance is that, in order to pinpoint Cha Shin Hyeon as her culprit, she must also reveal the existence of martial arts.

she doesn’t want it

However, Cha Eun-seol already knows the existence of martial arts. She didn’t seem to mind at all when Lee Ji-hye informed her that she was learning martial arts.

What to do if a claim comes in saying it’s related? If she is upset, she should have asked me not to tell her in advance.

“Wait, are you okay? Didn’t you catch a weakness or something?”

Oddly enough, Cha Eun-seol seemed to be more worried about what damage Cha Shin Hyeon would do than the fact that Lee Ji-hye learned martial arts.

“I think it’s a weakness, so the deputy guild leader himself will know better what will happen if he does his tricks.”

Cha Shin Hyeon snorted.

“Anyway, that part has been resolved, so there is no need to worry. We decided to keep a good relationship.”

“Then I’m happy.”

“He apologized to you. I’m sorry to upset you.”

“I didn’t mean to apologize. Personally, it was a little off-putting, but it was respectful for the attitude a distant boss had towards her subordinates.”

Cha Eun-seol shrugged.

“I wish you weren’t in a bad mood.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded her head.

“Oh, and what are your plans for this weekend?”

“Not yet. Why?”

“Leave both blank. I’ll watch over you.”

“uh?”

Cha Eun-seol stopped.

“You haven’t memorized all the blood yet?”

“I have changed my mind.”

At first, we parted with a smile hahaho, but there is no guarantee that Lee Ji-hye is a sure ally.

Even if she can trust her, she may come from her twilight rival, her Dawning rival, once her own existence has been revealed.

She doesn’t want to make any kind of relationship with Dawn and fight Twilight. But I don’t know how they’ll turn out.

Cha Shin Hyeon herself is not the problem. If you can’t touch the person in question, there are those who want to touch the people around you. If there are people who want to be hostile to him, he will aim for Cha Eun-seol.

So, if you’re going to teach martial arts anyway, you need to teach it quickly without being sloppy.

Of course, even if she does, it will be of no use if Ji-hye Lee herself or the guild leader of Twilight who is next to him comes, but she is still better than not teaching her.

‘I have to think about escort measures.’

Cha Shin Hyeon concluded, seriously contemplating the need for a reliable subordinate.

“But don’t neglect to memorize it.”

First of all, start with what you can do right away, and do it step by step.
