Overgeared

“......”

The confrontation between Kraugel and Yeum ended with Yeum’s victory. However, Yeum’s expression was dark. She returned to the palace covered in blood and stood in front of a snow-covered pine tree. The snow turned red due to the dropping blood.

‘I didn’t have a single advantage in technique.’

Yeum’s face wrinkled as she recalled the battle. All her techniques were detected and destroyed with a sword. It was a reality she didn’t want to believe. She had studied and trained for the past hundreds of years to become like Mir. How did a human who hadn’t lived even a hundred years...?

‘I would rather he be a transcendent.’

It would’ve been convincing if she had been surpassed in technique by a transcendent who enjoyed eternal life, unlike ordinary human beings. What was the difference between a yangban and humans? It wasn’t surprising if the other person was better than her after hundreds of tears of training. The problem was that the human she met today wasn’t a transcendent.

‘I don’t know... I don’t know at all.’

Yeum was analyzing the human’s swordsmanship and quickly shook her head with a pained expression. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t understand the human’s swordsmanship with all her knowledge and understanding. She couldn’t picture it because she didn’t understand. Since she couldn’t understand, she couldn’t picture it. It felt like her efforts, common sense, and world were being denied.

Someone approached her and stood quietly by her side. “It is sad to hurt humans.”

“Mir...”

Mir was one of the most talented yangbans of all those born to become a god. Less than 20 years after his birth, he participated in Chiyou’s Test and achieved a record that could never be broken. He was deified among the yangbans. Mir was so special that even the arrogant Garam became humble in front of him.

“You’ve worked hard.” Mir gently stroked Yeum’s head. Then the energy of the white tiger and red phoenix spread and healed Yeum’s tired body and mind. While the other yangbans could only use the power of the white tiger and red phoenix on their own bodies, Mir could exert influence over others.

“Mir, the reason I’m depressed right now isn’t because I hurt a human.”

“Then?”

“I lost in a fight of technique. It was also to an ordinary human, not a transcendent. It is infuriating and unfair.”

She won the fight, of course, but it was a fight that she won only because she had overwhelming physical ability and Shunpo.

“I see.” Mir noticed what happened to Yeum and removed the snow from the pine needles. “Don’t feel wronged. Excellence and inadequacy are relative and can’t be stretched. Even if they are human, they can be better than yangbans—didn’t the death of Garam and our siblings teach us that?”

“Yes, of course I know that. But... But I...”

she didn’t participate in Chiyou’s Test. She wanted to be by Mir’s side. In fact, Yeum was confident that she was one of the most outstanding of the yangbans. For this reason, the situation
