Chapter 39

"Huff."

After performing all twelve forms of the River Footwork, Raon exhaled lightly.

'That was pretty good.'

His body moved exactly the way he'd imagined, following the flow and posture he'd wanted.

It felt like watching himself from a third person's point of view.

It seemed that using the 'Ring of Fire' to understand the flow before moving his body was going to be a pretty good way of learning martial arts in the future.

"Hmm?"

Raon furrowed his brows. The training ground should've been noisy with everyone training their footwork, yet it was as silent as a library.

Raon felt a strange gaze from behind and turned around.

"Crazy..."

"Wh-what...?"

Burren and Martha were both out of their mind with their mouths wide open, and Runaan waved her clenched hand. From the movement of her mouth, he could tell that she was asking him to teach her.

It wasn't just the three of them. Every trainee and instructor alike had their eyes so wide that they were about to pop out.

"Why are you...?"

"Raon."

Raon turned around once again to the surprised voice calling out to him. Rimmer, who used to be lying on the platform, was standing in front of him.

"Did you know the River Footwork?"

His green pupils were lightly oscillating, like a freshly strummed harp's cord. He was clearly surprised.

"No, that was my first time seeing it."

It was similar to the shadow footwork he'd learned in his previous life, but he'd never even heard about River Footwork.

"Then how..."

Rimmer skipped lots of details, but Raon understood what he wanted to ask because of his expression.

"How shall I explain it?"

Raon slightly smiled, while scratching his neck.

"I could read the flow."

"Read the flow?"

"Yes. When the instructor was demonstrating the footwork, I saw its flow, instead of the postures and their order."

The River footwork had a similar flow to the Shadow footwork he'd learned in his previous life. That was why he'd managed to figure it out rather easily.

"Instead of looking at a tree, I looked at the forest. That's how I managed to understand its flow."

"Huh. Wow."

Rimmer simply grabbed his head and exclaimed. It looked like he was at a loss for words.

"I thought it'd take at least a week."

He murmured that he didn't think the footwork he'd finally managed to find with such difficulty would be finished so easily.

"I'm sorry."

"No, no. That's nothing to be sorry about. I'm just surprised, that's all."

"Hmm..."

Raon secretly licked his lips.
