chapter 41
41. Trial Period (1)
-Is this the ending you want?
There is fire all around.
A corpse with a familiar face rolls around.
A feeling of boundless despair engulfs me.
– Couldn’t you change? If it were you, couldn’t you have turned the expected ending?
Sorry, sorry. I also wanted to change.
-Will you meet the expected ending, or will you break the ending?
The surrounding landscape was all burned and disappeared into ashes.
A clear voice echoed in the empty space where only emptiness remained.
– Protect it, for sure.

“Ugh.”
five o’clock in the morning.
This damn wake up time won’t break.
physical condition is the best.
However, the feeling that something is broken dominates the whole body.
I feel like someone is grabbing my neck and squeezing me hard.
Is it because of a dream that I can’t remember?
I try to remember it every time, but what do I do with memories that disappear when I wake up?
I tried to sleep again to see if I could get better if I slept a little more, but my mind only became clearer, and I felt impatient.
As usual at the Kylon Pavilion, I even tried daily training, but nothing changed.
It always worked, but now it doesn’t work.
Something.
What does this emptiness mean?
Where does this pressure come from?
“Professor, you are here.”
“okay.”
Even when I arrived at my office that I had been looking for for a long time, this pressure did not go away.
Rather, it seemed to get worse.
“Professor, what are you doing? You look fine.”
“none.”
“Speak comfortably. Is there anything I can do to help?”
okay.
If you are a Ritt with psychic abilities,

Maybe she could ease this pain a little bit now.
It’s as if the medicine I took before I was brought here could be effective.
“… … not. It’s fine, don’t worry about it.”
I thought about it for a moment, but then shook my head.
The drug only temporarily relieves the situation.
If the root cause is not removed, it will get worse.
It would be similar to getting Ritt’s help.
It was a conclusion based on long experience.
“Did you properly announce the lecture?”
“yes… … But the professor has a very bad complexion. Taking a break for a while… … .”
“done. By the way, did you absorb Levi’s Magic Stone properly?”
“Ah, yet… … .”
“Class will start soon. Make progress by the end of class.”
“yes… … .”
it’s a long hiatus
Even so, I had to take a break once because of what happened in <Kylon Pavilion>, but I got entangled in Bert, and the unplanned break became longer.

My students are all elites gathered to learn something from me.
I’m just sorry for the long hiatus.
Bump-
When I opened the door, I saw the faces of the students I had not seen in a long time.
I stood on the podium and looked at the faces of each of them.
‘Faces… … Good.’
these are
“The break was long.”
I’ve been playing all this time, this is it.
“Prove that you guys haven’t played during that time.”
Doubts arise among the students.
I was perplexed and troubled.
“… … Do a simple test. This will replace the delayed lecture.”
That moment-
The feeling of pressure that weighed down on my whole body,
got a little more comfortable.
* * *
“Show and prove the best skills you know. I do not evaluate.”
It was meant to check whether there was any progress or setbacks during the suspension period.
It is truly a place to ‘prove’.
“I… … Let me prove it first.”
Deyan was the first to come.
He was confident because he did not stop training while maintaining contact between Aeroque and Lucas.
“The only swordsmanship I know of is the Lock Sword. I will show you all of that.”
As a knight loyal to Aerokh, Deyan presented the Loch Sword, which can be said to be the most basic of Aeroque Knights.
From the footsword to the rogue sword’s will, to the infinity slash.
When the swordsmanship of the orthodox aerok was perfectly realized, the students cheered.
‘What is that guy?’
‘I thought I had the least presence so far, but I found out that it was an ambush, right?’
‘Isn’t that better than Jessie?’
The image of the strongest student in the school, which had been hardened as Jesse Athlon, was moved to Deyan.
“B-.”
“… … .”
However, Lucas’ evaluation was to the point of being vulgar.
“The foot sword was good with no frills. However, the power of the Infinity Slash shown at the end was halved because its center of gravity was not properly distributed. If I had focused on the tip of the sword, I would have been able to show the essence of the infinite sword strike- Infinity Slash.”
“… … you’re right.”
Lucas’ point was correct.
In the end, the weight distribution was wrong because of the lack of training.
Deyan himself knows it all too well.
No excuses.
“If I had only seen the sword, it would not have been enough to give an A. I definitely told you to show the ‘best technique you know’, and I deducted points because it included things that weren’t the best. Go in.”
Deyan accepted the evaluation, bowed his head deeply to Lucas, and turned around.
“next-“
The ‘simple’ test continued.
* * *
‘Me, is that B-?’
Luina felt as if the fire had fallen on her feet.
In his view, Deyan’s Locke Sword was close to perfection.
Of course, there must have been a plus element from seeing it from a wizard’s point of view, but Deyan’s Locke Sword was excellent.
-Are you a person who has a connection to the royal family to use the Locke Sword with such precision?
– Oh no, you don’t have a surname.
– Maybe a Guards Knight who was kicked out… … .
Just by looking at the reactions around him right now, doesn’t Deyan have emerged as a new topic?
The impact that Deyan gave was strong.
Lucas pointed out something, but Ruina didn’t know.
People around me were like, ‘That’s right… … .’ is the same understanding response.
‘How the hell do you have to do to satisfy Professor Lucas?’
“It is C.”
“D-. I would have told you to show off your best skills.”
However, in the matrix of C and D in succession behind the scenes, it was compared again how great B- was. But his scoring method was falling into an even more obscure labyrinth.
This is because a student with a swordsmanship that Luina felt was a mess even received a C+.
When he saw such people, hope grew in Luina’s heart.
“next… … Eileen, is it you?”
Ironically, Eylon is the most anticipated in this combat faculty.
It must be because the performance he showed at orientation left a strong impression in my mind.
In particular, Luina had high expectations for Eylon.
magic and magic.
In this place full of knights, he was feeling a strange sympathy with Eilon. In addition, there was also the expectation that the level of technics he showed would flatten Professor Lucas’ nose.
“I upgraded the old dilog to mk.2. The best technique I know of is, of course, magic engineering! I want the professor to check it once.”
Wei Ying- Clap, Clap, Clap!
His wheelchair was disassembled and reassembled, clinging to Eylon’s body like armor.
Its appearance was like a knight wearing full body armor.
– Let’s go, Professor!
Wow-!
Both mechanical arms soared high, interlocking each other. At the same time, a huge amount of magical power!
It’s like the Meteor I’ve only seen in the literature.
The direction the godless one is heading is-
It was Lucas.
‘Hey, that crazy bastard… … .’
Ruina wanted Eylon to flatten Lucas’ nose, not Lucas himself.
‘Who stopped-!’
Ruina shouted inwardly, but no one around her showed any signs of moving.
Rather, it looked like he was urging someone inside himself.
“It has definitely been upgraded. A-It is.”
‘No, professor, now is not the time to give a score idle!’
As if it contained Meteor’s momentum, it flew towards Lucas,
Shu Yu-woong – Touk.
‘Eh?’
It landed a little further away from Lucas with a very shrill sound.
“However, the pilot’s understanding of how to operate the D.Log is poor. So that’s why it’s so easily destroyed. That’s what Derog is strong, not what you are strong at.”
“… … .”
Shock filled the classroom.
‘What, why, what!’
It seems that there was something only the knights didn’t know about.
“Come on, last. Louisa Ellaim.”
His turn came without question being answered.
But he doesn’t have the best skills.
I wanted to use magic, but I wondered if that strict Professor Lucas would approve it.
‘Well, then… … .’
Ruina recalled the poor technique she had seen a while ago.
It’s got C+, so maybe there’s hope for you too.
“The best technique I know is… … .”
Ruina raised her wooden sword high into the sky.
As far as I know, it was the most intense and beautiful, and at the same time, the strongest technique that I think I could imitate.
“It’s cutting down.”
Recalling what Professor Lucas had shown her, she slowly lowered her sword.
‘done.’
For the first time, it seemed like a good show.
When he looked at Professor Lucas with satisfaction in his heart, there was a slight astonishment on his face.
‘What, what? Maybe I was more talented than I thought?’
Not a terrible expression, but a positive surprise.
When hope was welling up in Luina’s heart, Professor Lucas smiled.
That smile made Luina’s consciousness far away for a moment, like a work of art.
‘Well, that laughter is a foul.’
Then, Lucas’ voice made her doubt her ears.
“… … nice.”

‘I almost died.’
Aileon’s Derog is a formidable weapon.
If it hadn’t been for Alan’s ‘sheding’, I would probably have left this world as a flat ratchet.
Anyway, that psycho bastard.
But if that attack is not directed at me, but is used for my own safety.
There is nothing more reassuring than that.
Of course, there is still room for further improvement.
Even if it’s not, Berth has brought a present for him.
‘I can roughly call it a senior present and give it to you… … Oh, there is one left.’
Louisa Ellaim.
The only Hongil point in this classroom.
Luina also possesses tremendous talent.
She is originally a wizard. But the ‘real’ talent lies in the sword.
I look forward to it.
“The best technique I know is… … .”
She drew a wooden sword and raised it high into the sky.
That attitude… … .
“… … It’s a cut down.”
The posture is definitely flawless.
I know that I haven’t handled the sword properly until now, but I’d say Tae is still alive.
But, crucially, it is clumsy.

You will learn the sword intensively as much as you lack it.
The moment I was about to convey this result-
[A new notification has arrived.]

At first I thought I saw it wrong.
Seriously looking back, the amount didn’t change.

five balls.
Realizing that it was real, he smiled faintly.
Through the notification window, Luina with a blank expression is seen.
Oh yes, you should let me know your results.
“… … fre.”
Pronunciation is a little off.
It is because I am so happy.
“Ah, that, that, but yes, it’s too pretty to go, suddenly… … .”
Due to the leaked pronunciation, Luina is making the most of an illusion.
“Eph.”
kindly corrected it.
