“Uburka. I realized something while watching the way you used your mana.”
-You mean the Shibal Aura Training Method?
“I can’t help but mourn your horrendous naming ability… Anyways, right. I saw a profound possibility after looking at the Shibal Aura Training Method.”
I spoke as I say atop Uburka’s head.
“It’s the Formation Method.”
-Formation Method?
Uburka tilted his head.
-What’s that, Daddy?
Formation Method(陳法).
Before meeting Master, I knew hardly anything about martial arts, but I’d learned a lot about the common sense of Murim from Bae Hu-ryeong.
The Formation Method was literally a method(法) of attaining a formation(陳).(1)
“Martial arts is basically the method of learning to utilize one’s body. On the other hand, you could think of the Formation Method as the method to spread it among several people.”
-Ugor, do you mean like battle formations?
“Similar. But it’s not the same as simple hand to hand combat.”
I told him.
“Let’s say people from different factions fought on the same side. They might be attacking together or carrying out joint attacks, but it couldn’t really be called the Formation Method. It’s the same principle. Only when they use their aura in the same way could it be called the Formation Method.”
-Does Daddy want to teach me the Formation Method?
“Right. To be precise, I want to teach you the Infernal Heavens Demonic Art first and then develop it into a Formation Method with you. I’ve never used a Formation Method before so I’m not sure if it’ll work, but so what?! I’m still interested to try.”
-I don’t quite understand. Is there a reason to learn it?
“Hey, hey. Baby. If you look for a reason or value before doing everything, then you will never do anything!”
I tapped the top of Uburka’s head.
“For now, we’ll just test it. Then if it doesn’t work, we can just give up. But if it does work then we’ll delve deeper. Alright?”
-So it’s just relaxed.
“Mhm. Relaxed.”
I smiled.
“But, baby. I have a question for you.”
-What is it?
“Have you ever starved for more than a week?”
Uburka blinked.
-Huh?
After that, I slowly taught him the ‘relaxed’ Infernal Heavens Demonic Art.
“The Infernal Heavens Demonic Art is divided into nine forms. The first form is the Asa Sword of Starvation. In other words, it is a sword that was created from the longing and desperation of hunger. This is why you are starving now. Aya, this dream world is really useful. Time passes, but you won’t die no matter how much you starve!”
-Kill me!
Uburka, who had already been starving in his dream for a week in his dream, cried out. His legs and arms were bound by chains. And I was sitting in front of him, eating delicious fruits and fish.
This was the result after I defeated him in a fair duel.
-I’d prefer you killed me!
“Is it painful?”
-It’s painful!
“Does it hurt?”
-It hurts! It feels like all of my muscles are screaming!
“That’s it! My baby. I want you to input that pain, that hurt into your sword. I’ve also been forced to starve for a week. But even if you’re starving, you can’t starve without thinking. Think of a farmer starving to death in the middle of nowhere because of a bad harvest, think of the farmer’s child. You have to starve while thinking about that.”
-Daddy you’re crazy!
I taught him.
“This dream world really is nice. If I think of a snowfield, a snowfield appears, and if I think about an epidemic, an epidemic spreads. It’s the perfect environment to learn the Infernal Heavens Demonic Art. There was nothing like this in my time, phew.”
