Sometimes, there were things that could be called rice cakes.
That was about the ‘sword’.

[General] Why do heroes not use swords?

Isn’t the sword good?
It’s not like it’s not being made as a weapon right now, so why not use it?
It’s not cool, it’s cool, it’s not fancy…
…Anything but that?
No. Our ancestors used to use swords when fighting, but why don’t they use them now?
Isn’t it cool? Are you stylish?
… That’s too lame to say.
The sword itself is soft, so it breaks easily, no one handles it, and even if they do, they don’t have the skills…
What is a nerf?
Surely, it was a great weapon a few hundred years ago, but now it’s just a pile of scrap metal.
Where doesn’t a hero who is good at swords appear..? It looks really cool when it shows up.

ㅇㅇ(121.131) I can’t help it because the sword is so bad. Because it’s not just one or two things that aren’t good.
ㅇㅇ(58.136) ┗But isn’t there a chance that there will be at least one hero that handles well?
ㅇㅇⓖ ┗ It’s supposed to come out. But can I come out? There is no hope for swordsmanship or swordsmanship.
Ruhere is the truthⓖ It’s meaningless to wield a sword and train it, but who uses it? If you put enough mana on your body, your sword will break.
ㅇㅇⓖ ┗Nano mana. Son.
ㅇㅇ(144.311) ┗Even if you look at E-class heroes, they shoot fire, water, and electricity… There are all sorts of specialties.
Asengsuⓖ ┗Is it a Pokemon? Lol
Jungsileunsolisⓖ ┗Jeongsileunsolis
ㅇㅇ(58.235) If the author’s life seems to be ruined, it’s okay.
ㅇㅇ(119.64) ┗Niaemi.

[Normal] To be honest, it’s not that I can’t use a sword, it’s that I don’t.

I can handle a sword or a gun with no effort, but that’s because the heroes didn’t put much effort.
To be honest, there are people who use guns among heroes.
Of course it’s E rank, but…? Maybe…?
Actually, I don’t know because I didn’t investigate. It’s so dirty and unpopular…
Isn’t it a problem that Mana is too superior in the first place?
Wouldn’t swords and long weapons be useless even if it was only a D rank?
The gun is about C rank.
Anyway, I have a gun for self-defense, and then I can use it.
Black… Well… It’s difficult even for self-defense, and there are so many problems that I wonder if it will disappear soon.
I’m worried. I’m worried…

ㅇㅇ(124.53) I’m more worried about you washing your hair in the morning than I care about your sword…. Mom is a human too!
ㅇㅇ (122.53) ┗ Take care of Nia Mina.
ㅇㅇⓖ ┗Don’t fight and kiss the two of you.

[Normal] I’ve been sorting out gum rice cakes.

Mana is really overwhelming, so I can never rub it.
At least, I made a mark with a gun that was worth it.
Sword Gun
Is it strong? X O
Is the range long? X O
Are there various types of abilities? X O
Is it fast? X O
Is the threshold high? X O
Does it require a lot of effort? O X
Are you weak even if you train to die? O X
I wonder who uses a sword like this hahahaha
Honestly strong? Is both bad, but still better than sword.
Still, if you carry a gun and shoot a villain without mana, it will work.
You don’t need to train, and you don’t need much effort…
I’m going to get a reverse tour while trying to wield the sword. Lol
In particular, the limit point is that there is no sword at all, so it’s just an X-spit.
In the first place, swordsmanship was too degenerate.
Are there any famous swordsmanships from the Murim era that have been handed down to this day?
Would you like to learn something like that? It must be unbelievably difficult.
Also, if you just use mana, magic is a fraud, and if you put it on or hold it in your body, the body itself is a weapon.
So there are a lot of things that use the body like martial arts or foot techniques…
The black… The sword itself is weak, there is no swordsmanship, and it seems to disappear as it is not used.

Dazedly, I saw the man who hit me.
A stately old man who is taller than me and has a moderate beard.
However, it created an atmosphere that could be described as an old age zodiac sign.
Above all, the sword I used in my previous life was wrapped in cloth and held in the old man’s hand.
I couldn’t take my eyes off him and couldn’t help but look at him.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Ah. Yes, it’s fine.”
“Thank God. I thought I might have hit it too hard. Cheers!”
With a hearty laugh, the old man tapped me on the shoulder.
Even though it was a light action, the power was in the hand, so it seemed that heroes in the lower grades like E and D would easily win.
“Then it looks fine, I’ll go.”
After confirming that there was nothing wrong, the old man started to leave.
But I couldn’t let go unless I knew that the old man had the sword I used in my previous life.
I hurriedly stopped the old man and asked urgently.
“Uh. Senior! Excuse me, can I look at that sword for a moment?”
“Huh? You mean this sword?”
“Yes. I want to see that sword…”
A trembling voice. Shaking pupils.
Even at a glance, the old man knew that it was strange, but strangely, he did not want to refuse.
Yourself.
No. Because the eyes looking at the sword were desperate.
Since it looked as if he had met his lost lover, I guessed that something was going on with Lee Seo-jin.
“…I see. But I want to see a sword. You have a peculiar taste.”
“…I use a sword.”
“Are you using a sword?”
The old man’s eyes widened as if he had heard something really unexpected.
In the heroic society, weapons such as swords, guns, and spears have become virtually useless.
With mana, people themselves could be both weapons and weapons.
There was no need to make it, and nothing comparable came out.
“Ohhh… To use a sword. You look like a hero. Out of all of them, you’re unique… No. You’re the only one, right?”
“…Well, I don’t know. I don’t know if other heroes use swords.”
“Ha ha! I bet no one uses it.”
“Yes? Why are you so sure?”
A question you ask even though you know it.
It looked stupid, but I had no choice but to ask.
Because I guessed that what the old man had just said meant something.
“Because I made the sword myself and tried to deliver it, but they never accepted it.”
“…Eh? The sword itself… Are you a field commander?!”
“That’s right. Why. Doesn’t it look like that?”
“Ah… ah. Yes. I thought you were… a hero.”
“hahahaha! Hero. Thank you for taking good care of this old man.”
The old man laughed heartily and looked at me as if he was satisfied with the compliment.
By the way, if you’re an old man this tall and bulky, you’ve probably seen him at least once, but I can’t remember.
It’s not common to have a sword-manufacturing field there, so I’m sure he went there…
I wondered if I hadn’t seen it at least once in my previous life, even if I didn’t care about other people or relationships.
I couldn’t remember even when I searched for it.
Then there is only one answer.
You just have to remember from now on.
“Old man! Can I ask you a rude favor for the first time?”
“Huh? Please? Ah. You said you wanted to see the sword. Get out of your mind—”
“No. I don’t want to see that sword…”
I took a deep breath.
I caught my breath and calmed my beating heart.
There was something I instinctively felt.
This meeting is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me.
So from now on, I needed to keep my head straight and speak.
“I want to buy the old man’s sword…!”
“Hmm? Are you saying you want to buy this sword?”
“No. That’s not it. I… Want to buy another sword made by you.”
The sword I used in my previous life was a great sword.
Not only did it match my abilities, but it was sharp enough to cut through anything.
Until he died, he had the strength to never break.
But I couldn’t remember how I got the sword.
There was no one who used a sword, and there was no master who made swords.
I picked it up on the road… To the extent that there is nothing strange about saying it that way, I am oblivious.
But no matter the circumstances, the sword I possessed performed beyond my imagination.
If this old man made a sword, there must be a better sword than him.
If you get it… I can become stronger than I was in my previous life… !
“Hmm… A sword…”
At my sudden suggestion, the old man unexpectedly straightened his beard.
Maybe it was a proposal I had never heard of before. He looked at me a little puzzled and surprised.
After a moment of silence, the old man smiled softly and asked me.
“How much can you give me?”
“Yes?”
“You said you would buy a sword. How much can you give me?”
A question that asks money first without showing what the goods are like.
What is a normal person? You may wonder, but Lee Seo-jin did not.
‘My sword is of great value, so tell me how much it is.’ Means.
In other words, it was a kind of test.
“Price…”
Lee Seo-jin thought.
I thought and thought again.
How should I answer?
If it’s too much, you’ll think it’s flattering yourself.
I guessed that if it was too little, it would ignore itself.
So I had to give an appropriate answer, but I didn’t know how much to say.
“One billion. Will that be enough?”
At that moment, Sujeong Han interrupted and answered instead.
“Oh? Who’s wife and children are you talking about that big money?”
“This is a junior. I’m sorry for interrupting the conversation, but I think you might need some help.”
“hahahaha. This is surprising. But I asked this young man, not you.”
“I’m thinking of helping anyway, but what about it? This much money…”
As Han Soo-jung was about to speak, the old man shook his head.
And looking at Lee Seo-jin, he asked with a serious expression.
“What do you think? Do you intend to take money from this wife and pay it instead?”
Lee Seo-jin immediately shook his head firmly and replied.
“I don’t think so.”
“Senior?!”
Han Soo-jung was taken aback by the completely unexpected answer, but she immediately calmed down and persuaded Lee Seo-jin.
“Senior. Wasn’t the sword important to you? Apparently, you didn’t want to buy this old man’s sword because he thought it was great?”
“Yes, but I don’t need your help.”
“Yes, yes? Why? The sword is important to you, senpai! You wielded a sword and practiced all the time, and you lamented that it would be nice if you only had one good sword?!”
Crying urgently, Han Soo-jung looked at Lee Seo-jin.
Then Lee Seo-jin also looked at Han Su-jeong, and a strange gaze flowed between the two.
What did you think while looking at it?
What else did you see and recall?
Lee Seo-jin smiled softly and stroked Han Su-jeong’s hair.
“The sword is important to me. But… You are more important to me. So I can’t get that much help.”
“…On?”
Han Sujeong lowered her head as her hair was stroked, wondering what she just heard.
As she quietly recalled, her face gradually turned red.
She didn’t look up so she didn’t get noticed, but she started to feel very shy as if a volcano was about to erupt.
“It’s cool. Look at it. Let’s do it somewhere else. It’s so sad.”
“Ahahahaha… I’m not really into romance, but I’m sorry if it seemed that way.”
After stroking her hair for a while, Lee Seo-jin looked at her old man.
She
She and she took a short deep breath before answering with direct eye contact.
“I will give you 100 million.”
“Oh. 100 Million? This wife and daughter said 1 billion? Why is that?”
“Because it’s the best I can give you. And yet…”
Lee Seo-jin smiled.
“Because I haven’t seen the old man’s sword.”
A confident answer.
The old man stared at Lee Seo-jin.
And the next step…
“Chuck! You’re right! Come to think of it, I never really showed my sword!”
Surrounded by her cloth, only her handle was protruding. It was Lee Seo-jin who figured it out.
She
She then asked for a favor, but a subtle war of nerves ensued, and she hadn’t seen her sword yet.
But that word had a different meaning.
The old man, who let out her big boisterous laugh, stopped and pulled one of her business cards out of his pocket.
“This is…”
“It’s a blacksmith’s shop run by me. Well… It only blows flies, but come back later.”
A business card with no name, no phone number, just an address.
But with this alone, Lee Seo-jin seemed to have won thousands and thousands of horses.
“That. This time, I applied for a weapon, so I thought someone would take my sword… I didn’t expect to be lucky enough to meet you at the entrance.”
“Is that so?”
“hahahaha! Anyway, come find me! I’ll show you a better sword than this one!”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Looking at the old man who turned his back to say goodbye, Lee Seo-jin bowed down to greet her.
“…Uh. Uh… Ha ha…”
“Huh? What’s wrong, Sujeong-ah?”
And when Han Su-jeong was shy from behind, Lee Seo-jin approached and tried to ask.
With his head bowed, he slashed his hand and fled the place as if to run away.
“Me. See you later~!! I’ll go first. Senior!!!”
“Huh? Huh…”
Lee Seo-jin couldn’t help but stare at it as he shouted and disappeared in an instant.

That evening night.
Her sister fell asleep, but she was Lee Seo-jin who couldn’t sleep along today.
Although there are times when unexpected luck comes and I am nervous.
She couldn’t sleep because she was excited about being able to become stronger than she was.
But she forced herself to sleep, thinking that if she slept like this, she would meet the old man with a haggard look.
After a while, Lee Seo-jin fell into a deep sleep.
But…
“…Is your brother sleeping?”
“…I think so.”
She
She thought she was sleeping, but there was a sister who quietly woke up while talking in whispers.
