I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

Alice bit her lip at my suggestion to not use a sword.

She definitely seemed obsessed with swords, just as the Sword Emperor had said.

“Hmm, but it’s a bit complicated…”

I remembered seeing Alice’s attack motion when she was first released. It was a bit hazy due to all the complicated incidents I had experienced in the Velvet School Life world, but…

“Was she using a spear in that attack motion…?”

She seemed to be holding a long weapon, but I couldn’t quite tell if it was a spear.

There was also another suspicious point.

It was Alice’s nickname.

If her main weapon was indeed a spear, then her nickname wouldn’t be ‘Sword Flower’.

If she used a spear, her nickname would be something like ‘Spear Flower’ or ‘Spear Demon’.

Anyway, finding the right weapon for her specialization was essential to understanding her character, so I asked her again, trying to ease her obsession with swords.

“Oh, was that too sudden? Well, if you want to keep using a sword, it’s fine.”

“Really…?”

Alice asked me with a doubtful expression. She seemed cautious, so I needed to ease her mind.

“Yes, let’s put the sword aside for now. Can you show me some of the skills you have against me?”

Alice, who had been staring at me, sighed deeply and picked up a long staff from the corner of the training ground.

‘As expected, she’s using a staff when I ask her to use skills.’

Skills.

The fastest way to identify a character’s main weapon.

Kang Do-hee reveals her identity as a fighter who uses her fists and feet with skills like ‘Flame Destroying Kick’ and ‘Fire Dragon Strike’.

Lee Yoo-ri reveals her identity as a tank who uses a shield with the skill ‘Shield Resonance’.

In other words, asking to see skills was essentially asking to see the main weapon.

Alice held the staff with a wide grip and aimed it at me.

I also held a wooden sword, not a real one.

“You asked me to use it against you.”

She bit her lip and said in a low voice, “Don’t regret it.”

“Yes, don’t worry and swing as much as you want.”

Goooooo—

Green mana began to rise like a mirage over the staff Alice held. I could see the strength in her grip.

And then.

Alice’s staff drew a large semicircle and rushed towards me.

.

.

.

Whoosh—

Sword Flower Rampage.

When she used the skill, the staff in her hand bent like a whip and lashed towards Jin Yuha.

It was like she had glue on her hands, a completely different feeling from when she held a sword.

Jin Yuha wiped away his playful expression and slightly raised his eyes, looking up with a serious gaze.

The tip of the staff barely missed his neck, passing by like a sheet of paper.

But her skill didn’t end there.

Swish—

The staff, held lightly in her hand, spun like a pinwheel.

With added centrifugal force, it stretched out towards Jin Yuha with even greater power and speed.

.

.

.

I still don’t like it.

Even without intending to, the powerful swings brush the air like a paintbrush,

My rationality slowly fades, and I feel like I’m being forced into a world of self-oblivion.

Whoosh—

In fact, she knew it herself.

She was more talented with the spear than with the sword.

It’s so clear, how could she not know?

She struggled so hard to learn the sword, but it was so hard compared to this.

It’s like something is grabbing her by the hair and forcing her to do this.

Perhaps her initial rejection of the spear was a reaction to this forced feeling.

Anyway, since He asked her to try it, she want to give him a proper taste.

“Eek.”

She clenched her teeth and swung the staff.

As the rotational force increased, the tip of the staff became sharper and the power doubled.

Even without any blades attached, with this much mana infused, it was dangerous.

However, Jin Yuha dodged all of her attacks with minimal movement.

Whoosh— Whoosh—

Swish—

Whoosh—

Thud.

“You dodged all of them…”

Haa, haa…

Her breathing was rough, and the staff stopped in front of Jin Yuha’s face.

Now, the expressions of those watching had clearly changed.

When she used the sword, they seemed to acknowledge her, but now they were clearly recognizing her as a competitor.

Alice felt discomfort from their expressions.

And Jin Yuha would surely say to her,

-You should use a spear.

A sigh rose within her.

However, Jin Yuha once again defied Alice’s expectations.

“Hmm… This isn’t spear techniques either?”

“What…!?”

.

.

.

There aren’t many characters in Velvet School Life who use spears, but there are a few.

Although the sample size may be small for generalization, it means I can at least get a sense of it.

Usually, characters who use spears attack from mid-range with their long reach, or they use continuous attacks, powerful throws, or one-hit swings with immense mana as their main weapons.

However, Alice’s case was a little different.

It’s like…

Her attack range is indeed mid-range, but instead of thrusting, she focuses on slashing.

She doesn’t throw the spear or use one-hit swings, but rather continuous attacks.

It’s like she’s wielding the spear like a sword.

“What is this…?”

I frowned as I thought about the spear-using characters in my mind.

“Hmm, this isn’t spear techniques or sword techniques. It’s like something in between… What is this?”

Whoosh!

Alice’s head shot up at the mention of it not being a spear.

“Wh-What do you mean…?”

“Wait, I need to think about this for a moment… Shin Se-hee, can you use the virtual weapon creation function right now?”

“Yes, it’s possible.”

Shin Se-hee, who had been staring blankly at Alice’s attacks, snapped out of it and brought up the training ground control hologram.

“Hmm, what kind of weapon…?”

“First, scan my Moonlight.”

As I drew Moonlight from my waist, a blue light passed through it.

“Oh, this… It says the material level is too high for implementation?”

“No need to implement it exactly, just the weight and shape.”

“Oh, yes.”

A plain sword made of metal and wood appeared in front of me.

“Can you extend the handle of this sword to the length of a short spear?”

“The handle? How much…?”

“About the length of a short spear.”

As Shin Se-hee manipulated the program, Moonlight’s handle suddenly extended like a magic staff.

Then, Shin Se-hee exclaimed in understanding.

“Ah, this… It’s a Crescent Blade, right?”

“Crescent Blade?”

“Yes, it’s a single-edged weapon with a long handle, belonging to the Dao category. It’s a great sword specialized for slashing rather than thrusting. You know, like the Green Dragon Crescent Blade used by Guan Yu, the female general in the Three Kingdoms?”

Oh.

I had created this form on the spot, and it turned out to be a weapon with its own name.

‘It’s not a Spear, but a Dao.’

In other words, it’s not strange for her to have the nickname ‘Sword Flower’ if she wields this weapon!

“So, there’s an artifact with this form?”

“Yes… It’s not common, but it should exist.”

Shin Se-hee nodded reluctantly.

I offered the virtually created Crescent Blade to Alice.

Alice took the weapon and stared at it for a moment before accepting it.

“This is a sword, not a spear.”

“A sword, not a spear…”

“How about it? With this, you can both fulfill the Sword Emperor’s wishes and utilize your talent, right?”

Alice nodded slightly.

And at that moment.

Ring~♬

A pleasant bell rang in my ear.

A semi-transparent window appeared in front of my eyes.

The status window I had been waiting for has finally updated!

[Settlement completed.]

And at the same time, something unexpected happened, which I never anticipated in such a moment.

[Your star grade has increased due to defeating the Four Great Demon Races and the Demon World Tree.]

Wait a minute.

Of course, a star grade increase is always welcome, but…

This is that thing…

“Ah, damn… Why now?”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

Shin Se-hee tilted her head in confusion, but I closed my eyes as I saw the light gathering above my head.

…I’m going to have to do a striptease in front of the kids again.

Even Alice, whom I’m still not comfortable with, is here!
