I Became The Academy’s Narrow-Eyes chapter 8
8 – The person who is favored by the narrow-eyed man
As we got closer to District 1, even the back alleys became cleaner.
Drin and I, who entered the back alley for a sparring bet, stood facing each other with a distance in a moderately spacious and deserted place.
-Sereung
-chuck
Drin pulled out the sword hanging from his right waist with his left hand, threw it lightly, and moved it to his right hand.
Then, he aimed his sword with his right hand, with his left hand behind his back.
“You can come in whenever you are ready.”
Rather than an expert trying to teach a subordinate, she had an exciting face, like a girl from an aristocratic family having a sword fight for the first time in her life.
It was so easy to draw the image of the atmosphere burning and hitting me with a knife back.
Can I trust Drin’s words when he said that Watashi’s celebrity sword wasn’t so crude as to hurt Heo Zeuningen?
‘Well, no matter how many times I get beaten by Drin, this sparring bet is a lucrative business.’
As far as I know, there aren’t many swordsmen with greater talent than the one from Tosei.
‘No, it’s not much.’
Since he was in the lineup of the strongest in the world view, it was safe to say that his talent in swordsmanship was at the highest level on the continent.
The sparring with Drin was an opportunity I should not miss.
It was because I was worried that my current level would pass in the academy exam.
my level.
I’m not talking black magic and assassination.
Warlocks and assassins are undisputed scum in the sun, and they are treated as public figures that deserve to be punished.
Show off your dark magic and assassination skills in the academy exam?
It wasn’t for someone who would say, “I want to go here,” but for someone who would say, “I’m starting to destroy the academy.”
In other words, the skill I had to show in the academy test was swordsmanship or magic.
However, I only knew how to handle assassination and black magic with the correction of characteristics, but I was unfamiliar with swordsmanship and magic that did not receive correction of characteristics.
‘Why don’t you tell me in Korea? Swordsmanship and magic.’
But fortunately, assassination and swordsmanship are the same techniques that use the body.
It was that black magic and magic were equally mana-managing techniques.
Even when black magic and assassination were completely turned off, the way to deal with the body and mana still remained within me.
<Ceylon(???)>
Level: 14 (???)
Skill: Lost Sword Lv.1 (Hero), Gray Magic Lv.1 (Hero)
This obscure level and two new traits prove it.
The entry requirement for the academy in the game is level 10.
When I arrived in Arien, my level was 13.
Currently 14 after completing one quest.
It was my judgment that since I was satisfied with my level, I could easily pass the academy entrance exam itself.
The bet with Drin was a very good opportunity to check that judgment.
Even at the academy, if that talent works for one of the best, that means it works at the academy.
What’s more, this sparring also comes with side profits.
Do one favor of the person who won the bet.
Normally, if you ask something more than buy me a meal, it will make the other person look angry, but if you ask for something, it seems like you will listen to anything.
The right to ask for anything from Drin Rebringer?
In fact, it was no different from the Petit Dragon Balls.
I’m sure it will be of great help when I’m in an awkward situation while adapting to this world.
And above all.
Right now, my slit-eyed instincts were running amok.
Right now, I am so curious about how confident Drin, who doesn’t consider the possibility of defeat in the slightest, will react when he loses. I’m looking forward to it again.
-Sureung.
As I drew my sword, Drin gave a nod.
I said as I slowly closed the distance.
“You know how to do provocations like that.”
“This is like a light game, so wouldn’t it be okay to keep it tidy?”
“Does it sound like something you shouldn’t have done in the first place?”
“To lose one’s cool when wielding a sword is to lose oneself.”
“Provocations that induce you to lose your cool are cowardly and should be avoided, right?”
At Drin’s words, I snapped my fingers and said.
“A provocation that can break an opponent’s cool is a meaningful strategy. You don’t have to limit yourself.”
“Huh. An unexpected answer?”
“Separately, that’s not my preferred way.”
“Ah, too. If so, which method would you prefer?”
“It is upright strength that does not look for tricks and does not rely on expedients.”
“Is it the virtue of honesty?”
“… that was pretty good.”
Drin was genuinely impressed.
“It would be great if I had horses like you.”
“hahahaha, even if you flatter me like that, you won’t look at me?”
Me and Drin burst into laughter at the same time.
With that as a signal, Dalian began in earnest.
I decided to make the most of the fact that Drin couldn’t move, and that it was difficult to change his posture because he could only use one hand.
After attacking in a direction that is difficult for Drin to cope with, he continues the offensive.
-visor!
-visor!
-visor!
“Whoa-“
“… ”
But as the number went on, it was me who was getting tired.
When I punched as hard as I could, Drin seemed to lightly push it away with his fingers.
It feels like hitting a still rock with a cotton bat.
“Oops!”
– With Changg!
It wasn’t long before my sword tumbled and landed on the floor of Drin’s.
“You lasted seven.”
“Whoa… Whoa… I said I endured… ? What attacked… Whoa… . I remember it being mine.”
“It’s not about taking the initiative by swinging a big sword. Reading the opponent’s sword and bringing the flow is the key.”
“Since when did I lose the flow?”
“It is from the beginning. It seems like you took the optimal move to fully exploit my weakness, but that optimal move felt excessive to me. I was able to catch it twice even if it was slow.”
“hahahaha, even if it looks like that, it was a part of my conversion.”
At this point, I remember Drin’s level was 30, and his skill level was 4.
It was at the level of discussing graduation, not admission to the academy.
It was completely different from me now, at the level where I had to worry about passing the academy entrance exam, so my complete defeat was a natural result.
“So, what is the overall evaluation of my sword?”
“… There is a sense of freedom that is not bound by formality.”
“You must have thought in your heart that there was no root, right?”
hot.
“That kind of pessimistic view is not good. The attitude that those who walk the path of the sword must maintain is coolness, not denial. Please do not confuse the two.”
“Honestly, you thought there was no root, right?”
“… Honestly, it is.”
“Then honestly, can I pass the test?”
Then, Drin fell into trouble.
“There are a few things about your sword that bother me. To make that clear-“
“To do it?”
Instead of continuing the conversation, Drin corrected his posture and gave me a chin.
“Come in. Please pour in everything with the determination that this will be the last time.”
Drin seemed to be thinking of ending the sparring with this competition.
already? I want to, but after sharing this contest against Drin, who is more energetic than the first time, I will be exhausted and won’t be able to do it even if I want to do more.
‘If this flow…’
If you do your best in this competition, you might be able to get a passing grade from Drin.
Drin, who stretched out his hand and encouraged me when I was exhausted and sprawled on the floor.
That would be a pretty good picture.
But Dalian will be defeated.
You won’t be able to ask Drin?
On the contrary, do I have to listen to Drin’s request?
actually it’s fine
Because my real purpose was different.
It was the image of Drin, who had been defeated by me, writhing in shame.
teasing you.
Get recognized by Drin.
what should i choose
‘This is the right thing to do.’
The agony of the anesthetic torn eye did not last long.
I prepared to improve my skills as an assassin without anyone noticing.
If I use all my skills as an assassin in this state now, Drin might find out what I have as an assassin.
So all I have to do is embarrass Drin with an unexpected move.
-fault!
Instantly rushed to Drin.
The moment Drin tried to react to him.
I raised the skill of the assassin that I had prepared.
<Ceylon>
Level: 14>34 (???)
Skills: Assassination Lv.5 (Legend), Lost Sword Lv.1 (Hero), Ashen Magic Lv.1 (Hero)
“oh!”
“ah.”
Drin looked at me and let out a small sigh.
It was because I was doing something wrong and my posture collapsed.
But in fact, I intended it to look like that, and in fact, it was one of the assassin’s footsteps, which was optimized for confusion.
It was the time when Drin was trying to blow my sword away mercilessly, even though he had a sad face.
“uh?”
Feeling that something was wrong belatedly, Drin tried to change the trajectory and posture of the sword.
But it’s already too late.
The sword I swung carelessly cut off Drin’s sword.
And my body just leans forward-
-Quadang
I fell down with Drin.
“Oh, my feet get twisted at times like this, huh?”
Then, while muttering in resentment, I pretended to check the image of Drin, who was buried under me.
“hello?”
Drin’s eyes met mine, and he blinked.
And I woke up.
“Hello – what a hello! Wake up!”
I am frightened because I am so angry.
“Okay, sorry. here-“
I got up from my seat and gave Drin a hand.
Drin glanced at the hand reluctantly, but innocently grabbed it and stood up.
“Wait a minute.”
Before the disgruntled Drin could say anything, I spoke first.
“Huh?”
I looked at the place where Drin was standing now and the place where Drin was standing just now.
Then, Drin also looked at the place where he was standing now and the place where he had just stood.
“It moved! Obviously, you were standing here until just now, but now- if this happens, I won the bet, right?”
Drin was startled.
“Where is that!”
“Where is it?”
“Void, void! This is not your skill!”
“hahahaha, you can’t always achieve everything with only your skills. I guess sometimes you have to rely on luck and luck, am I wrong?”
“… ”
Drin, who opened his mouth to object and then immediately closed it, pouted out.
“Then one more time.”
“hmm?”
“Do it one more time. This, Lee Seon-seung-jero.”
“Huh… ! You can’t be messing around like this!”
Push~
Hearing that he was nauseous, Drin’s face turned so red that he wondered if smoke had risen from the top of his head.
“Oh, what a mess!!! How can you say such harsh words… ! And, if you put it that way, your side who declares victory in this way is more nasty!”
“Heh heh, at the point where my victory was already confirmed in the first place. Why should I give up on that and accept the best-of-two system?”
“I will do you one more favor!”
“You haven’t decided what to ask yet?”
Drin’s body trembled.
If it was like someone else, the volcano would have exploded long ago, but like Drin, he kept it tight.
“Now, don’t you feel confident?”
Then he suddenly changes his attitude and pretends to be calm and provokes him.
“Anyway, that’s right. You yourself know that you, too, managed to win by a fluke.”
Like Drin, who naturally declared that provocation was not his preferred method, the provocation was really lame.
Pronounced like reading a Korean book, and kept glancing at my reaction and noticing.
I decided to hang out with such a drin.
“Is that how you say it!?”
“hmm… Hmmm, if you are angry, prove it with your actions.”
“You are stimulating my ego. great!”
“Oh, what if?”
“… But, come to think of it, I don’t have anything to be proud of, so I guess it doesn’t matter. I will be satisfied with one win that I barely managed to win by luck.”
“Cheak!”
In the end, Drin, who could not stand it, fell to the ground.
From Drin who fell down, ‘Uh… ‘ came a moan.
ah.
Sweet.
that’s so damn sweet.
I feel it when I see Drin’s reaction.
Now, my soul was healing.
I’ve never been hurt enough to need healing, but I was healing anyway.
The feeling of healing exceeded that of hugging a cat and a dog and inhaling it.
What an overwhelming teasing taste.
Really, he couldn’t be a gem.
I made a vow right here and now.
given.
I’d be happy to do anything to help this person.
And, with that in mind, I’m going to make fun of this person to my heart’s content.
