If You Raise Three Idols Well, They Will Confess Their Love

106 – Is This It?

Episode 106

Before returning, I had the experience of getting my forehead torn while trying to stop a fan who was attacking my idol while swinging his fist while working on an overseas location.

From then on, I felt the need to learn at least one self-defense technique, so I went to a gym near my house and asked if I could learn self-defense techniques.

“Oh, of course it is. I will teach you the full course.”

“Director, our gym is a bit far from self-defense…”

“Hyo-seop. “Don’t interfere with business and get out of here, you idiot!”

“Ouch, I hit a bone! Bones!”

“…”

“… If you start now, we will give you a 20% discount.”

I was somewhat uneasy, but since they offered a discount, I decided to just go for a month.

The director was surprisingly well-manned.

He was a great coach who started his career as a mixed martial arts athlete based on kickboxing.

“Director’s lecture is all good, but why am I learning things like vertical elbows? Isn’t this a banned technology? “I came here to learn self-defense?”

“Mr. Taeyang, what do you think self-defense is?”

“A technique to protect my body?”

“Great. So, what should I do to protect myself?”

“Well. Shouldn’t I learn falling techniques or guarding?”

“No. “It is a way to reduce damage, not a way to protect yourself.”

“Okay. Director. So, how do you protect it?”

“It is about eliminating the root cause of damage.”

“… Yes?”

“If you destroy it before it hits you, you won’t take any damage.”

“…”

He was a crazier person than I thought.

“I will only go this far. Thank you so much. “Director.”

“Evil! We’ll give you a 30% sale! WithoutMr. Taeyang, no one goes around at this time!”

“…”

At that point, he started going around with the feeling that he was just learning an exercise.

First of all, the person was nice, and although the direction was strange, he taught me sincerely.

About a year after going to the gym like that, he looked at my body as if scanning my body and said.

“Taeyang’s body is very well balanced. “I think he would probably be in the top 1 % just based on his physical condition.”

“Well, considering all the effort you’ve put in, that’s really nice to hear. Thank you.”

“No, this is just an objective evaluation without a supervisor. … Honestly, if he didn’t have any flaws, I was thinking about asking him to try out as a player, even if he’s an amateur, but it would be difficult because he has flaws.”

“What are the disadvantages?”

“… Actually, calling it a disadvantage is a bit of an exaggeration. It’s natural that most people have that shortcoming.”

I didn’t really have any intention of becoming a player, but I was curious because he was talking about his background like that, so I asked.

“What is that disadvantage?”

“It’s a feeling.”

“… “Sense?”

“Top fighters are perfect in almost every aspect. With physical strength honed until it becomes a sword and combat intelligence that allows it to fight efficiently, it is no different from a killing machine.”

… How can I call my co-worker a killing machine?

“The reason why 1st and 2nd place are separated between those peaks is because of the difference in sensation. It is no exaggeration to say that the peak is of a completely different species.”

“We are the same person and have the same sense organs, so how can the senses be so different?”

“It’s different.”

The director said, looking at the faded bronze medal hanging on the wall.

“It’s so bad that criminals like us can’t even imagine.”

***

When I used my sword sense, I felt as if I had fallen into another world.

No, rather than saying it was a different world, it seemed more accurate to say that I was finally able to properly recognize the world.

Little by little, I began to understand what the director said one day.

In front of a person like this, most people will feel as if they are not of the same species.

While I was feeling trembled by that creepy sensation, Ban Sang-cheol waved his hand and said.

“Hey, it’s too much of a hassle to deal with him now. “Guys, first of all, hold them back so they don’t mess around.”

As soon as he finished saying that, one of the idiots behind me swung his fist at the back of my head.

I easily dodged that punch by taking one step.

“… Damage?”

The man who swung his fist, perhaps out of pride, twisted his entire body and threw a hook with all his weight.

It was a hook with such force that it seemed as if it would go down with just one hit, but its movement felt so slow. Make it so boring that there is no problem in doing various actions in between.

I did it slowly, feeling like I was testing just two movements out of hundreds of movements that came to mind.

Just like that, he dodged the hook and drove straight into the defenseless chin of the stick. Lightly, with precisely distributed force to shake the skull and cause a concussion.

However, the results were not light.

Boom.

After being punched, Tteokdae, who had a blank expression on his face as if he was feeling doubt, stumbled and fell to the floor in the hallway.

“”…””

There was an overwhelming silence.

In front of Ban Sang-cheol and his gang who were looking at me with blank eyes, I took off my tie and wrapped it all the way from my right wrist to my hand as a show of pride. It was a substitute for a hand wrap.

The tattooed man behind his back suddenly swung his fist at my head, probably because his innocent appearance hurt my pride.

It was not visible because the movement was outside the viewing angle. But I felt it.

The sound of a fist passing through the air, and the chilling sound of skin as if an alarm bell were ringing, told me the optimal path to take to avoid the threat.

I followed that opinion.

Boom!

Just like that, another man fell down in the hallway.

The rice cakes, who had witnessed two strong adults crawling on the floor in about 10 seconds, must have felt an instinctive qualem and began to gradually distance themselves from me.

Bae Sang-cheol, who saw this, shouted in anger.

“What are you doing? You idiots! The other person is alone. Attack all at once!”

The rice cakes that had hesitated due to Bae Sang-cheol’s shouting began to throw their bodies at me.

Don’t be surrounded. Even if you fall to the floor and the fight turns into grappling, you shouldn’t.

No matter how great their senses were, their physical conditions were similar. Rather, considering their average weight, it was safe to say that I was behind in my weight class. Since the difference in number of people was so overwhelming, if it turned into a melee and a war of attrition, there was no chance of victory.

However, the sense of the swordsman said that if the above two conditions are kept, there is a good chance of victory.

“Catch it!”

And that judgment was the same for me.

Two large figures fell down and moved towards the narrower hallway, and then towards the emergency exit I came through. I threw one hand away as if trying to catch me. It was difficult to avoid because it was a narrow hallway. But I wasn’t afraid.

The sense of the swordsman was very great. It seemed that this sense was not simply a sense for handling a knife well. The sound of people’s breathing, the movement of their muscles, and what was vaguely recognized as many people in a sweeping view, all felt like precise numbers, as if dissected. It was no exaggeration to say that the system was the best in human history. This gentleman named Geomseong is definitely a person who left his mark on history. And that too, only with the help of a single person.

“What the fuck… !”

He left his lower body and pulled his upper body back, using a sway back to avoid the sticky hand, and while maintaining a precarious balance, he drove an uppercut into the guy’s exposed chin.

I controlled it so that there would be no aftereffects, but the bone must have been shaken properly, and I stumbled and fell down like a corpse without struggling to keep my balance.

After overcoming the obstacle, I succeeded in standing with my back to the exit.

“Do it all at once! “All at once!”

In response to Bae Sang-cheol’s cries, the tattooed rice cakes took notice and rushed together.

However, it was too late to act as I had subdued the guys behind me and settled down properly.

The already narrow hallway became even narrower because of the large bodies that had fallen. Even if you tried to rush in, a structure was created where only one person could approach at a time. In a place like this, the fight is bound to be one-on-one.

In this way, the conditions for victory were completed. No matter how many times we fight, if it’s a one-on-one match, there’s no way I, with my unreasonable senses, will lose.

I controlled my distance by stepping on my footwork, and whenever an opportunity appeared, I planted my fists in the chin one by one. The sword master’s extremely activated senses made it possible to perform a technique that would cause an opponent to fall to the ground from a concussion in a single blow without causing any aftereffects.

When dozens of people fell after swinging his fist dozens of times, a giant with an unusually large body and dumpling ears lowered his upper body low and tackled them. It was a perfect tackle that made you wonder if he was a former player.

Suddenly, I remembered the conversation I had with the director in the previous episode.

‘In fact, in modern fighting sports, it is difficult for a striker to beat a grappler if they fight one-on-one, assuming they have clothes.’

‘Yes?’

‘Especially if you have learned something like wrestling properly, it is almost impossible to win. There is no answer as it lands on the cement floor with one tackle.’

‘No, then, what am I learning now? ‘Shouldn’t I have learned something like wrestling, not a striking technique like this?’

‘Hehe, you don’t have to be too disappointed. A wrestler’s counter is also a striker. To be precise, it is a striker that is close to the peak.’

‘What does that mean?’

‘The reason strikers have a hard time dealing with wrestlers is because it is very difficult to prevent a proper tackle that comes in low and fast. But this is what a top hitter can do.’

‘… How?’

‘All you have to do is intercept the tackler with a counter at the correct timing and location.’

‘… ‘How many people on earth can do that?’

‘Haha, that’s why the wrestler’s opponent is difficult.’

But I thought that would be the case for me now.

The opponent’s tackle had a very low center of gravity and was so fast that it looked as if his upper body was brushing the floor.

It was a very threatening movement, but to me, whose senses were activated, it felt slow. I stretched out my left foot and aimed for the wrestling giant’s chin. He reflexively turned his head slightly to avoid the fatal blow, but I even caught that movement and corrected the trajectory of his feet.

As a result, my toe hit the guy’s chin exactly.

Wow!

Boom!

There was one more large person rolling around on the floor who had fainted.

This is it…

“… Hey, what is that? Fuck.”

I looked around and saw that all the rice cake stood had fallen. It seemed like they all fell because they were beating so hard.

The only people standing were Ban Sang-cheol and me.

I pretended that the overwhelming sight was nothing, and smiled at Ban Sang-cheol, who was shaking in fear.

“Are you left alone?”
