I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

Alice had been holed up in her new home for a week after entering the Velvet Hunter Academy. The residence provided to her, which was supposed to be a shared living space, was beyond her imagination.

“I thought it would be like a shared house, but…”

Fortunately, it wasn’t like that. It was more like living in the same building as her neighbors.

The building was divided into separate floors, and Alice had been given an entire floor to herself.

For Alice, who had grown up in a rural village in Sword Emperor Mountain, the modern world was like a different planet.

“I can use hot water even in the winter!”

She was amazed by the Bluetooth showerhead that worked with magic stones, the automatic vacuum cleaner that cleaned up trash and even turned food waste into fertilizer, and the fully automatic closet that made her clothes feel like new.

Alice stood in front of the closet for a long time, watching as her clothes were cleaned and refreshed.

The modern conveniences that automated all the tasks she used to do by hand were a shock to her.

The most shocking thing, however, was the internet.

As someone who used to rent manga and videos from an old antique shop in front of Sword Emperor Mountain, the internet was overwhelming.

“I’ve wasted half my life!”

She felt like she had been living in a different world.

“Why didn’t my grandmother tell me about this?”

Alice felt a pang of resentment towards her grandmother for not telling her about the modern world.

In her previous life, Alice would have been too focused on revenge against the Demon Tree to care about modern technology. But thanks to Jin Yuha’s help, that was no longer the case.

Jin Yuha had given her a room in a special house that was one of the most advanced in the world, but Alice didn’t know that.

She spent hours browsing the internet, learning new things and feeling a sense of excitement she had never experienced before.

As she browsed, she also learned more about the party 《Utopia》 that she had joined.

Alice was watching a YouTube video of Utopia, and she was impressed by the skills of the party members.

There was the tank, [[National Treasure]] Lee Yoo-ri, who could block powerful attacks with a small shield and had a unique skill that drew everyone’s attention.

The main dealer, [[Mad Dog]] Kang Do-hee, who could take down monsters with just her fists and feet.

The supporter, [[Real Narrow eyed Mastermind]] Lim Ga-eul, who used magic stones to accelerate and slow down her movements.

The healer, [[Saint]] Sofia, who could heal even the most distant wounded allies with her golden arrows.

The operator, [[Cheonhwa]] Shin Se-hee, who was in charge of gathering information and planning strategies.

And the special member, [[Shadow Queen]] Ichika, who could manipulate shadows to take down monsters.

But what really caught Alice’s attention was a video of a single man.

She had watched it multiple times, but it still left her breathless.

The video showed a close-up of a man’s face, with his eyes closed and his eyelashes fluttering.

When he opened his eyes, his black pupils seemed to stare straight into the camera.

The video then cut to a shot of a group of monsters, with glowing eyes and massive muscles, wielding clubs that could crush a human.

But what was shocking was that there were hundreds of them, swarming like ants.

In front of them stood a single man, who seemed tiny in comparison.

However, he didn’t seem to care, and instead drew his sword.

[[Sword Demon]] Jin Yuha.

His expression was calm, but Alice’s heart was racing.

As he charged forward, his sword sliced through the monsters, cutting them down with ease.

The video ended with Jin Yuha standing victorious, surrounded by the bodies of the monsters.

Alice felt a shiver run down her spine as she watched the video.

Swish, swish, swish.

Every time he swung his sword, the monsters’ bodies were cut down with ease.

It was as if the monsters were weak, but the comments below the video corrected her misunderstanding.

-Wow, Yuha-nim is crazy!

-No way, those monsters aren’t weak.

-What do you mean? You think those are just goblins? Those are Moloks. Even high-ranking hunters have trouble taking down one.

-But how does Yuha-nim do it?

-If I knew that, I’d be in Utopia too. It’s like he’s cheating or something.

-I was there when it happened. That was a AAA-rated gate explosion in Gangwon-do. We were all shocked, but Yuha-nim just came out and took care of it.

-And he uses that as an intro video? What a class act.

-Is Jin Yuha’s face getting more handsome by the day?

-Jin Yuha-nim?

-What’s with the “nim” honorific? You want to get killed?

-Stop it, you bunch of idiots.

-Seriously, does Yuha-nim have a fan meeting or something?

-There’s a rumor that if you eat his cooking and see him smile, you can attend a fan meeting.

-Bring it on.

-[Link] – Yuha’s cooking

-Ah, I think I’ll just stick to watching from afar. My fangirl heart isn’t ready yet.

Anyway.

“Wow, he’s amazing.”

Of course, the other Utopia members’ videos were impressive too.

But after watching Jin Yuha’s video, Alice forgot all about them.

Yoo-ri had told her that Jin Yuha was the strongest in Utopia.

At the time, Alice thought it was just a figure of speech, but now she realized it was the truth.

As someone who had grown up watching the Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship, Alice could tell.

As someone who had always wanted to wield a sword like the Sword Emperor, Alice could tell.

As someone who had tried to imitate the Sword Emperor’s movements, Alice could tell.

But she had never had the chance to see what kind of abilities her peers had.

For the first time, Alice understood what the Sword Emperor meant by “difference in talent”.

“I want to wield a sword like that too.”

Suddenly, the conversation between the Utopia members flashed through her mind.

-Hmm, how long do you think it’ll take?

-Well, since she’s been living in a secluded area, it’ll probably take a few months.

-Ugh, I’m happy to have a new member, but…I didn’t want it to be someone like her.

-We need to come up with a plan. We can’t handle someone like Jin Yuha bringing in new members.

-Tsk.

That disgusting harem.

What’s with the “shared lovers” thing?

Of course, Alice understood what it meant now.

But even if she did, She had no intention of…

“I’m not interested in that. I just want to be like him with a sword.”

As she tried to rationalize her feelings, she decided to watch Jin Yuha’s video again.

Ding dong.

The doorbell rang.

“Alice, are you there? Can you come out for a minute?”

A man’s voice.
This one was definitely real.
