I Became a Munchkin Spirit Sorcerer at the Academy

23 – Salsinsain – 2

“Whoa…”

A training ground, a place to train your body while holding a weapon.

A place where those who want to become knights and those who want to improve their skills can check each other’s swords, compete in martial arts, or practice alone.

Norrington Academy was the best talent training center in the kingdom, so the academy had many places to accommodate students.

A training ground that could be used anytime, anywhere was one of those places.

“…not this.”

Drip.

Beads of sweat running down my chin.

The clothes were already soaked with sweat, and Zera’s eyes kept closing, perhaps because of the saltiness of the sweat.

However, Zera’s hand never let go of the sword.

Xera’s sword made of hard steel, a sword made by the dwarves themselves, refused to break under any circumstances.

A strong will and a refined sword.

It fit perfectly with the spirit of the Hernández family.

However, although Zera did not let go of the sword, he frowned.

I didn’t like the hit I had just thrown.

As written in the family edict, I moved my body as instructed by my teacher and got rid of distracting thoughts.

And swung the sword.

However, somewhere in my heart, I was still shouting no.

There was a feeling of being empty and empty somewhere. People say that when you practice, all the distracting thoughts disappear and your mind becomes at peace, but that wasn’t the case with Jera.

“…Was I wrong?”

The destructive power of Hernández’s sword lies in its speed and accuracy.

The sword in her hand also matched the iron rules of the Hernández family.

But I couldn’t breathe without a feeling of something foreign going on.

Doesn’t this make you feel like you were wrong?

Huh!

With the final blow, Zera lifted the sword out of his hand.

The sound of a burst splitting the air rang cheerfully in my ears, but my heart never felt that way.

” Let’s stop. “

I swung my sword to forget the random thoughts, but instead, the more random thoughts came to mind.

It seemed like my heart and mind were a little off right now.

“Because of that man…”

He is the one who caused a stir at the Academy by causing a lot of trouble recently.

Zera’s former fiancé and the Academy’s troublemaker.

Harvey Artur.

A man who only knows how to show off his family’s interests has suddenly emerged as a man of mysterious ability.

In a confrontation with James, wouldn’t you defeat him with one blow? Wouldn’t you summon a strange beast and defeat James again by activating the heart of the beast?

He was a man who became a hot topic in many ways.

Although it wasn’t something she would say after breaking off her engagement to Harvey, she was overly concerned about the man’s actions recently.

Actually, I didn’t even think about it before that.

After all, engagements and marriages between nobles were important events between families and were a type of arranged marriage.

The union of the Arthur family and the Hernández family.

It was so important that my body started shaking just hearing it.

Zera, who was at the center of a serious matter between families, completely withdrew from the center as the breakup of the engagement progressed.

In fact, breaking off the engagement with Harvey might have been a very good choice for her, since there could be no love in an arranged marriage between families.

Zera herself was an innocent girl who wanted to love and date.

So she did everything she could to comfort Harvey and give him advice.

I also tried to have peace of mind.

But what can you do?

Every time Harvey did all kinds of stupid things, my likeability dropped drastically.

At this point, she was going to die of old age, having only been a nanny for the rest of her life rather than a romantic partner.

Moreover, I recently tried to find out more about Harvey through Harvey’s younger brother Orphée…

What he came back with was neither rejection nor acceptance, but he said he wasn’t sure.

For Zera, it was a situation that made her feel like her stomach was going to explode.

Harvey shows strange behavior after breaking off his engagement.

So, are you saying that the bratish behavior he did before was an act he committed to break off his engagement?

Did she not like him, or did she dislike her personality?

As I thought about it that much, all the strength left my body.

The fact that she was dumped by someone she had no interest in, not as a nobleman’s concubine or a knight, but as a woman, made her even more miserable.

“No! It’s a good thing!”

Slap! Slap!

Zera tries to shake off random thoughts by hitting her cheek as hard as she can.

The slap was so hard that tears came out, but the pain in my cheek made me forget about Harvey for a moment.

“Now, again!”

I pick up the sword again and slowly establish my posture from the beginning.

The sword of the Hernández family is fast and accurate, and moves its body quickly to attack the opponent accurately.

To do this, you had to lower your body’s air resistance as much as possible and attack the enemy with only the minimum amount of movement.

A sword like lightning that strikes relentlessly without giving the opponent a chance.

Because it was Hernández’s sword.

” profit…! “

Swing the sword again.

However, only a strange feeling of emptiness remained in my hand.

Because of something so foreign, Zera let out an annoyed groan.

Normally, I would not have said anything to protect my dignity, but it was possible because the situation was different and there were no people around at the time.

It was a small deviation.

In my heart, I wanted to go back to my room right away, but I couldn’t respect myself as the daughter of the Hernández family like this.

Those who want to reach a higher level than others must put in twice as much effort as others.

The daughter of the Hernández family must always be perfect.

The words my grandfather and father said when I was young have now become Zera’s bones and flesh and have seeped deep into my body.

However, that saying has now become poisonous and is eating away at Zera’s actions.

I turned on the light in my eyes and swung my sword again, but the result was the same.

I felt like my growth had reached a plateau.

It felt like I was moving around wearing a doll mask that wasn’t funny and didn’t suit me.

“Should I quit today…”

When I was about to put down my sword with a deep sigh.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Someone broke into the training room where Zera was practicing.

And the identity of the person who broke in.

“Harvey…?”

“That’s fun.”

It was Harvey Artur.

“I was wearing clothes that didn’t fit.”

” ..you. “

*********************

A static atmosphere engulfs the space.

The former fiancé, but no longer in a relationship since the engagement was broken, suddenly mocked Zera’s sword.

A body that begins to tremble is probably filled with embarrassment and anger.

The sword also seemed to recognize its owner’s anger and was humming.

“What do you say you know?”

“I don’t know much, but I can tell the difference between people wearing clothes that don’t fit.”

“You’re talking about a pierced mouth! You don’t know anything about swords!”

“I say there is no bias, because sometimes a beginner’s eye is the most accurate.”

” …under. “

Zera felt like he would get caught up if he continued talking, so he stopped talking and slowly walked out of the training hall.

It was obvious that if I got angry now, I would end up just like Chi.

However, Harvey continued speaking while looking at Zera, as if he was laughing at Zera.

“You seem to have too many random thoughts, and your posture is too disheveled. The Hernández sword I know wasn’t that good.”

Zera finally couldn’t stand Harvey’s words and turned around, looked at Harvey, and screamed.

“What do you know about Hernández!!!”

“When I was young, I went to Hernández with my father. There, I saw Hernández’s matriarch.”

“…Ha! The difference in skill between my father and I is extreme! Don’t you know that basic fact?”

“I’m not talking about skill or technique or anything like that, Zera. There’s something fundamentally dull about your sword.”

“You really!”

“Then prove it with your skills.”

Zera laughs at the absurdity of Harvey’s words.

A man who doesn’t know anything about swords is going to teach me about swords.

Where on earth does that baseless confidence come from?

“Prove it with your skills, what on earth does that mean?!”

“Raise your sword, Gera Hernández.”

” …yes? “

“It’s sparring, let me tell you where I went wrong.”

“With a sword or a great sword?”

” okay. “

” …Ha ha ha ha ha! “

Perhaps it was because he was faced with a situation that made so much sense, Zera burst into laughter at the absurdity of it all.

Harvey, has that man finally gone crazy?

Or is it because I’m confident in my skills? No, that’s not possible.

That man has probably never lifted a sword in his life.

Not only was it unthinkable that a member of a magic family would hold a sword, but Harvey also hated exercising his body so much that he wasn’t good at exercising.

“Great! Don’t regret it later.”

Zera grabs the sword he had put down again.

His face was full of smiles as he thought about scolding Harvey.

However, Harvey just stared at Zera quietly without making any facial expression.

“What are you doing? You’re not holding a sword?”

“Wait a minute, I’m not ready yet.”

“Why? Were you scared when I told you we were going to spar? Please pay special attention to me now…”

“Come out, you evil spirit.”

“Grrr!!”

A swordsman monster with numerous swords on its back.

A powerful youkai that blows off the enemy’s head with one blow.

It was realized outside the world through Harvey’s shadow.

Although it is said that the curse of the great sword has been lifted and its ferocity has been lowered, the Great Sword Demon is a sword-wielding monster.

It was nothing like spewing out a deep murderous spirit.

” …uh? “

“Grrr!!”

Zera suffered a brain freeze as she looked at the Giant Sword Demon, which was several times larger than her.

“…This is against the rules….”

Her hands were already shaking.
