Clang!

The sounds of clashing swords reverberated throughout the hollow cave pathway. The shockwaves created carried mana and were clearly seen.

Screeeeech!

A curved blade struck against a straight sword, the friction creating deafening screeches of metal tearing at each other.

"Hahahaha, you really are the perfect grindstone!!!" I laugh as I evade a strike from my opponent. I could see it. My eyes can clearly see it.

<<Skill: [Sword Proficiency] is at 36% mastery of current stage>>

'I could clearly see the flaws I do when she strikes, since she completely copies my move! I could see it!' I thought and released a mad laughter inside my mind.

I put my left foot forward and slashed diagonaly. She parried my attack as she immediately copied my prior move.

As she struck down I analyzed the flaws within the move. 'Ahhhhh.... I didn't put enough weight on it....' my mind shined with enlightenment as I step to my left and tilt my head, dodging the attack.

<<Skill: [Sword proficiency] is at 76% mastery of current stage>>

I put my blade horizontaly and step forward, releasing the blade. I expected a block, so I made the tip of my blade face diagonaly down the next second and strike upwards.

Kang Seo-Jun saw it and barely blocked it. "Tch! I should put more force since I'm swinging the blade upwards!" I spoke and dash back.

<<Congratulations! Your skill: {Sword proficiency} is know stage 4, you have unlocked sub skill...>>

Kang Seo-Jun had a stunned look as she finnaly realized what Ye Jin meant by "perfect grindstone" as she heard her words. She was using her as a guide to fix the mistakes she did while exchanging blades!

"This girl!!!" Kang Seo-Jun muttered with a snarl. Ye Jin only smirked in response as she redied another strike.

Ye Jin Slowly breathe in as she suddenly disapeared with a burst of speed. 'What?' Kang Seo-Jun thought as her mind constantly alarmed her of danger.

Whizz!

Kang Seo-Jun saw Ye Jin for a brief momment and blocked a strike, counter attacking. "How did you see me?" Ye jin asked.

Ye Jin cloaked her self with mana that reflected light around her effectiveley making her temporarily invisible, though she has to fix some things though.

Kang Seo-Jun sneared as she spoke. "How wouldn't I? There was a brief hole through your stealth. I'll gladly teach you as it wouldn't be of use against me."

Ye Jin smirked as she held her sword up. "Alright, thank you..." She briefly disapeared again. This time it caught Kang Seo-Jun by suprise and resulted to her having a cut to the right cheek.

The blood went to her eyes and resulted for it to turn into blood red of color. Kang Seo-Jun managed to counter attack.

Kang Seo-Jun touched her cheek and brought her hand up to her eyes. "Of all things, you had to touch my face. I dare you to try that again." Her mana spicked up as her bangs covered her eyes.

Ye Jin smirked and held her sword diagonaly. "Sure. Next time I'll be aiming at your heart though." She stabbed her sword towards Kang Seo-Jun and the blade disapeared because of the sheer speed used to perform the stab.

To Ye Jin's suprise, Kang Seo-Jun perfectly blocked it and counter attacked with the same move, but with more power. "Shit!" Ye Jin muttered and dodged to her right, barely avoiding the stab.

Kang Seo-Jun striked vertically towards Ye Jin's right shoulder, aiming to behand her. Ye Jin raised her sword to block as sparks flew everywhere.

Ye Jin looked up and to see her arms and sword shaking under the pressure exerted by Kang Seo-Jun's strike. "I'm now dead serious. I'm going to kill you!"

Kang tae-shik was smilling with a crazed expression. "Did you take care of all of them?" He asked.

The rehabilitators responded standing without turning back. "This is a piece of cake. They're weak, mere goblins won't stand a chance against us."

Kang Tae-Shik went silent before speaking. "Goblins usually have more strength and health than a normal human, and have the intelligence and size of a child."

"But they're annoying foes who use sneak attacks and swarm their targets with overwhelming numbers. Of course, if you give a weapon even if it's a child, it would be very annoying."

"Because even a child can kill a grown human when armed with a weapon. In reality, countless child soldiers are armed and attack other people on earth." Kang tae-shik's eyes gleamed with a strange light as he continued his words.

"There's no difference between monsters and humans. They're both greedy and selfich insects. Can you guys kill children?" He asked.

"Huh? Children? What a boring question you're asking us." One of the rehabilitators responded. "That's right, it's a boring question. You will meet a thousand children from now on."

"What are you saying? Why would there be children in a dungeon?" One of them asked.

"They are starved, hungry children, so they will eat your flesh. Can you kill those things?" Kang Tae-shik asked the rehabilitators again.

"Of course." They answered. "Kill them?" "We can kill as many children as you'd like." was they're answer to his question.

"As I thought." Kang Tae-shik spoke. "You aren't any different from the monsters that kill and destroy humans." he muttered.

He held his head up. "That's right. The you have is to kill in order to live. I'll have to rport this to the administration."

"You guys, here, met a thousand goblins." His eyes turned dark as he put on a crazed grinning expression as his lust to kill peaked. "Too bad I'm having all the fun sis...."
