Chapter 6

Yeowun’s mother died when he was ten years old . The Lord sent Doctor Baek to look after his mother, but it was too late . He later learned that his mother died due to poisoning . It was a type that was hidden inside food, and one could not detect the poison until it killed the target that consumed it, thus assassinating them .

Yeowun was also poisoned, but he did not have as much food and he was able to survive by taking Doctor Baek’s medicine . After this incident, Jang always prepared his food .

Jang always woke up early in the morning to train before preparing Yeowun’s breakfast . It wasn’t sure since when, but Yeowun always woke up early too and watched Jang go through his training . According to Wulin standards, it was rude to peek at another’s training, but Jang felt sorry for Yeowun who couldn’t learn martial arts and he didn’t say much about it .

And today, Jang was up early to train his dagger skills .

‘It’s today . ’

Yeowun stayed up late that night and now it was time for him to join the academy . Once he entered the academy’s doors, he’d lose Jang’s protection . He drew a long face as he looked at Jang’s training .

‘Would it have been better if I learned some of his arts at least?’

He always thought of this, but members of clans were always watching them so he couldn’t learn . That’s when the Nano Machine spoke to him .

[Would you like to scan Guard Jang’s movements?]

‘What?’

Yeowun opened his eyes in shock .

‘Can you scan a person’s movements too?’

[It is possible . ]

‘Then you mean you can scan Jang’s martial art movements and transfer them to my head?’

[Yes, Master . And there is data of multiple martial arts techniques that I can transfer over to you at this moment . ]

Yeowun did not know, but the Nano Machine was created with advanced technology from the future . He did not gain approval from Jang, but he was going to the academy in the afternoon . He had to make a choice .

‘Okay . Scan it . ’

[Activating the scan . ]

Yeowun’s focus began to shake rapidly and then started to scan Jang’s movements . After staring at his movements for about thirty minutes, Nano’s voice filled his head .

[Movement scan completed . Beginning transfer . ]

And with the jolt, the movement began to play back in Yeowun’s head . And soon, it was complete .

[Transfer complete . ]

With the slight dizziness, it was done . Yeowun’s eye shined with astonishment . This was beyond amazement .

‘Nano… I can’t believe this . I think I can use Jang’s dagger skill!’

Yeowun closed the window so Jang could not see him and readied himself . It was the basic stance that Jang did before unleashing his skill . Yeowun then swung his arm to unleash his dagger .

He did not learn, nor was he taught, but his movements now matched Jang’s movements outside . Jang had trained his actions for twenty years, but Yeowun could mimic his movements perfectly . Nano’s voice rang in his ears again .

[Muscle analysis complete for training the movements . Will you accept the transfer to your muscles?]

‘I need the muscle transfer too?’ Yeowun asked curiously .

[If you don’t have the proper developed muscles for your movement, you will…]

“Ugh!”

Before Nano could finish, Yeowun felt pain tearing through his entire muscle . It was so intense that he couldn’t even move .

[There is muscle damage as it is not yet suitable for the movement . ]

‘Okay… now I get it . Can you please make it easier for me to understand?’

Yeowun thought as he barely got up and sat down on the bed .

[Changing language to fit the user’s level . ]

‘Level?’

Yeowun frowned as it didn’t feel too good, but he couldn’t understand fully either .

[Translation complete . You did not train like Jang for a long time, so your body is not yet accustomed to the movements that your brain has learned . Only after simulating the movements and analyzing the muscle development requirements can you use it fully . ]

‘Okay… I think I understand better now . It’s still hard . ’

Most terms that Nano used were not used in people of current times, which was hard to understand .

[Would you like to lower the language level to the lowest level?]

‘…No, that won’t be necessary . So, if I transfer the muscle development, I won’t have this bad pain?’

[That is correct . Will you begin the transfer?]

‘How long does it take?’

[Reshaping muscles will require every Nano Machine inside the body, which will take loading time . ]

‘Loading time? So how long will it take?’

[Approximately two hours . ]

It was still early in the morning, so two hours was okay . Yeowun nodded and agreed with the transfer .

[Activating muscle transfer . It will come with strong pain, so you will be put under anesthesia . ]

‘Does it hurt?’

[It comes with severe pain . There have been millions of cases of fainting from the pain . ]

‘Should I try it without anesthesia?’

Yeowun wondered curiously .

[Will you proceed without anesthesia?]

‘…If I can’t bear it, can you put me to sleep?’ Yeowun added .

He soon realized he was not wrong in adding that last part .

[Beginning the process . ]

As millions of nanomachines began moving toward his muscles, he felt ticklish .

‘This doesn’t seem…’

And the muscle change began at once .

“UGH!” he gasped . The muscles twisted and his eyes rolled backward at the intense pain . He couldn’t scream, but he couldn’t hold back either .

“Nnnnnnggghhhhhaaaaaah…”

Yeowun twisted in agony and almost screamed as Nano’s voice rang in his head .

[Injecting anesthesia . ]

“Gg… . r… . ”

And Yeowun fell asleep .
