I Became a Crazy Swordsmanship Instructor in the Game

* * *

‘Where the hell did Philip go?’

Felicia Oswald thought as she swung her sword. The confrontation with the Manticore was annoying and required a lot of concentration.

Basically, it possessed anti-magic power, so the sword did not stick well to its leather, and the venom on its tail was coated with poison strong enough to paralyze even an ogre in one shot, so it was several times more threatening than its thick and large forepaws.

‘I think I can use a spinning sword… .’

If you use the spinning sword Philip told you about, it seems that you can pierce the Manticore’s skin somehow, but you can’t handle it as freely as Philip.

It needed a little bit of a gap. And for now, the only person who can fill that gap is Johnny’s.

‘Lua is not at the level of being useful in this fight yet. I wonder what will happen if only Phillip shows up. Where the hell did you go?’

While enjoying a nap, he suddenly felt the monster’s energy and was about to jump out without tying his hair. Resentful of her brother, she dodged the stinger that was flying towards her side.

“These damn b*tches bother me to the very end.”

The old man’s face on the Manticore’s head was terribly distorted. Soon, cursed words began pouring out of Manticore’s mouth.

“professor!”

Originally, the curses, which would have taken away sight and hearing and slowed down the body, were canceled midway through Johnny’s fireball magic.

Even monsters that have been at the top of the food chain since ancient times were defenseless against auras and magic when they cast magic themselves.

Meanwhile, Lua stood blankly with her sword drawn. It was clear that her talent would shine brightly, but unfortunately, she was only a beginner as she had just picked up the sword.

I just didn’t know what to do to help.

‘… I want to help too.’

She was afraid of Manticore. The face of the old man attached to the lion’s body was disgusting, and the sharp stinger attached to the tail gave goosebumps just by looking at it.

However, Johnny, who stood in her way, was also the same.

Her legs trembled like an aspen tree, and every time she turned her head to check Lua’s safety, she could see tears welling up in her fear-filled eyes.

Even though it was so scary that she wanted to burst into tears right away, Janis was trying to protect Lua.

Firmly holding the ‘Sword of the Seeker’ given to her by Philip, Lua stared straight at the fierce battle unfolding in front of her eyes.

Her eyes slowly sank.

‘Swordsmanship is, after all, the art of handling a sword. Lua. To put it more simply, it’s a skill to incapacitate an opponent with a sword. To do that, the sword must touch the opponent’s body, right? Whether it’s cutting, stabbing, spilling the opponent’s attack, or cheating with tricks, in the end, it’s a story that has only one purpose.’

Soon Philip’s teachings came to mind.

‘If my sword touches the opponent’s body, that’s it. No matter what method I use.’

As if possessed, Lua raised her sword and pulled her body back. Having recently fully recognized the power of magical power, she did not know how to strengthen her body with an aura.

I just threw the sword in my hand at Manticore with all my might.

Originally, just throwing a blade would not be a threat to the Manticore at all. It was as if light branches were flying.

The problem is that the ‘Sword of the Seeker’ looks luxurious like a magic sword.

The sword blade, made of Atyreum, the best alloy created by wizards, has a subtle ink color, and the sword holder and pommel are beautifully decorated with Orson’s delicate and artistic sense.

Manticore did not dare to ignore the sword.

In ‘Sword of the Seeker’, I could clearly feel the magical energy.

Of course, the content was a function that automatically adjusted the length and weight of the sword to suit the user’s body shape, but I couldn’t know that.

Manticore’s torso moved sideways to avoid Lua’s sword.

Felicia did not miss that moment. He had gained enough time to fully concentrate his mind and spin his sword.

“Haaap!”

Aura-enhanced Felicia’s speed was not far behind Manticore’s. Felicia’s sword sliced through the manticore’s side.

It wasn’t enough to completely crack the tough and hard leather, but it was a sufficiently effective blow.

“Quaaagh!”

Manticore’s scream echoed across the lake. Black blood flowed from the open wound and soaked the ground. The Manticore, who had stepped back, screamed and screamed.

“How dare this wet b*tch cheat on me?”

The sharp anger of the wounded monster was directed at Lua who threw the sword. Lua almost peed at the raw life and hostility.

“Ugh… .”

As soon as Lua, whose legs were weak, sat down, Johnny’s staff moved. Blood flowed from her nose, which had consumed most of her mental strength.

The black projectile of the cursed magic shot at Lua collided with the shield cast by Janice.

Johnny’s was unable to completely defend against the curse containing Manticore’s power. Dead blood gushed from her mouth as the shield was shattered.

“Cheuk!”

It was a power that even active mages could not withstand.

Felicia, of course, didn’t just watch. I aimed for an opening to aim for the manticore’s thick neck, but the monster flew faster into the air.

“Someday, I will have to chew your meat!”

Manticore seemed determined to run away. In the first place, the guy was fighting with the intention of eating Janis and Lua, so when he felt the threat to his life, he tried to run away without regret.

“… Unfortunately, I can’t.”

However, a clear voice was heard from somewhere.

Soon, ripples rose from the surface of the lake, and a huge whirlpool gushed out.

“I will kill you for how dare you stink my lake.”

The fairy of the lake was glaring at the manticore with cold eyes. As she pointed her finger at the Manticore, a whirlpool of water large enough to engulf an entire house flew towards the Manticore.

“… No, damn it.”

Manticore stayed in the air blankly with a blank expression. Avoiding that didn’t mean avoiding it.

‘That damned spellcaster tricked me.’

Even if it was a lake where fairies live, I thought it was a fairy that had been there for hundreds of years at most.

Manticore, who imagined a fairy who could only scare travelers or harm the beasts of the forest without malice, realized belatedly that she had come to a place to die and gritted her teeth.

It was already a being with a level of power that could not be called a fairy.

Soon, a whirlpool of water polished like a sharp blade swallowed the manticore floating in the air. Skin and black blood were about to burst out, but disappeared due to the centrifugal force of the whirlpool.

“… Who are you?”

Embarrassed Felicia pointed her sword at the woman who appeared. There was no guarantee that she was not the enemy.

“professor. not the enemy Take your sword.”

Then Philip’s voice interrupted her.

“Philip?”

He was holding a man in a robe who had lost his mind in one hand.

“Take care of Johnny’s first. professor.”

At Philip’s words, Felicia looked at Janice. Johnny’s condition, from a nosebleed and coughing up blood, didn’t look serious, but it looked pretty bad.

“Ugh… .”

Felicia bit her lip in agony. That girl became like that while helping herself.

Originally, it was a fight that she would have had to handle alone, and it was no different than just the fact that Janice had the ability to help.

“I’m OK. It’s just that I used too much magic without preparation. This will get better after a little rest, so don’t worry.”

Seeing Felicia’s expression, Johnny’s waved his hand. It was quite cheap for the price of using magic excessively.

In severe cases, there could be bleeding in the head or cardiac arrest, so Janice cleared her chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Above all, it was fortunate that Lua was safe.

Felicia took a sweaty handkerchief from her bosom. Johnny hesitated for a moment before taking a handkerchief from her and wiping the blood from his nose and mouth.

It didn’t smell like sweat.

‘Is it because she’s pretty?’

Thinking nonsensically, Janice smiled.

“It was a lot of hard work. Janice.”

Philip praised her.

“… you’re welcome. The instructor saved my life last time… ah… yo. this.”

As Johnny continued to speak, his body collapsed like a doll with a string off it. Surprised, Felicia leaned over to check her condition and sighed in relief when she saw that she was just asleep.

Her gaze then turned to Philip.

“… So, can you explain how this all happened? Who is that woman and where have you been?”

She looked very bad. Like anyone who has had to wake up and fight to the death.

Cold sweat broke out on Phillip’s temples.

“Luah. Are you okay? Come here.”

He called the poor Lua. As soon as Philip called her, Lua ran to him in tears.

Philip wrapped his arms around her and patted her on the back to soothe her.

“It must have been scary. But it’s okay now. done.”

“Huh… sniff.”

Lua sniffled and hugged Philip tightly. Felicia couldn’t bear to intervene, so she looked at the woman who appeared out of nowhere.

The woman was naked and her long hair barely covered where she shouldn’t be seen. For Felicia, who had lived her entire life as a noble lady, it was more than enough stimulation.

“It is that child. A child who can name me. I can definitely feel it. That this child is destined for greatness.”

The fairy of the lake did not even pay attention to Felicia. Her gaze was only fixed on Lua.

“That’s right.”

Philip recalled a scene he had seen in the original game in the past.

The end of a very difficult scenario.

The grown-up Lua, who gave a name to a fairy dying from being attacked by demons.

Naming a fairy was only possible for humans who were born with a fate so great that it appeared in legends and myths. There is always a scene in which a fairy is named in the heroic stories of knights in the founding myth or legend.

And Lua was a girl who could do that.

“… But I’m still not qualified. I am a fairy who has lived for 1,300 years. That child can name a young fairy, but he cannot name himself.”

“yes?”

Philip asked back in surprise, as the fairy’s reaction was sluggish.

“It is literally. That kid hasn’t built up enough karma to make a name for me.”

‘What are you talking about?’

Felicia tilted her head. I had no idea what the name was going to be.

The lake fairy narrowed her brows.

“… You must be responsible for your words. Do you agree?”

“Can’t we just wait until the child qualifies?”

At Philip’s question, the fairy shook her head.

“I’m tired of hearing those promises without commitment. How many years do you think I’ve lived? Don’t want to be a liar? Then there is only one way.”

Swallowing, Philip waited for the fairy’s next words. A battle could have broken out.

The fairy narrowed her eyes and parted her lips as she glared at Philip.

“You give me a name.”
