I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

(25)

master friend

“Teacher, aren’t you going to class? All the kids outside are here.”

Has it already been that time?

It seems that I was too absorbed in the atmosphere.

yes. A duel is also a duel, but I have to start with class first.

When I came out, the children’s faces were bright.

Of course, not all students like this kind of rainy and windy weather.

Maybe it’s because I’m excited to go home after a long time because tomorrow is a vacation, but if it rains a lot, isn’t it because I didn’t do a canter?

Because of the typhoon, it rained yesterday too, so I didn’t do a canter.

It’s raining steadily today, so of course you think there’s no Kubo.

Unfortunately, the item I ordered last week arrived today.

“Sir, I’ll go in and take out the VR device.”

Next to the office at the swordsmanship training ground, there is a small indoor space for training even in rainy weather.

It rained a lot yesterday too, so we only practiced VR there, but today is different.

“No, let’s start with stretching.”

“Yes? what is that… . Sensei, surely it’s not Gubo, right?”

“that’s right. It’s raining heavily outside. And today is the last day of the first semester… .”

Seeing that even Eun-seo, who normally doesn’t say much and follows her well, helps out, it seems that she really dislikes Gubo.

“So, since I have something prepared, let the other kids stretch and the two of you come into the office.”

I handed over a large plastic box that I had moved in the morning to Eunseo and Eunsoo, who looked anxious.

“Take it and give it to each child.”

“What is this?”

“What is it, a poncho raincoat?”

“A raincoat is a raincoat?”

“yes.”

“Sam, that’s too much… .”

Both of them look at each other with resentful faces.

Will you stop looking at me like the devil?

I didn’t buy this to make the kids suffer because I’m a real devil.

There was some budget left over for supplies for the 1st year swordsmanship club this semester, but they said that if you don’t use all of them, next semester it will be reduced to the amount you didn’t use.

At first, I tried to buy snacks with the kids, but after looking into it, I can’t help it because I can’t use the equipment budget like that.

The two guys go out with their poncho raincoats in tears, but everyone outside is in a frenzy.

“fountain? This smells weird.”

“Is it too wet?”

“It’s because Group A wrote it in the morning. If you shake it roughly, it will all come off, so if it’s damp, shake it off and put it on and stretch it quickly.”

The budget wasn’t too much left, so I only bought 40 of them.

Well, it doesn’t matter anyway since our freshman classes are divided into groups A and B, and there are 40 students in each group.

Oh, of course I don’t need mine.

Even though we run together sometimes, I will never run on a rainy day like today.

“The teachers are all gone.”

“Yes, trouble… It’s not Seo Eun-soo, is it really all money?”

“Yes? Oh that… of course.”

“We all turned around.”

Even Eun-seo helps her sister, but no matter how you look at it, it looks suspicious.

I think I did less than one or two laps, but I ran in the rain, so I have to close my eyes to this much.

Teachers who are too strict are not popular.

“Everyone shake off their raincoats, store them in a box, and prepare for VR training. Oh, the semester is over, but from today’s record, it will be reflected in the grades for the second semester, so it would be better for everyone to throw away any thoughts of rushing.”

Of course, it’s a joke, but maybe because it was the end of the semester, the atmosphere among the students was very relaxed, so yesterday’s training was a mess compared to usual.

I understand it to some extent because tomorrow is the vacation, but as a teacher, I can’t leave it alone.

Still, since today is the last class, I plan to finish it about an hour earlier than usual and buy snacks and drinks from the canteen to finish it off.

Group A did the same in the morning, but if you didn’t do group B, there would be another uproar.

It was like that last time I bought pizza for the kids in Group A.

Of course, I was thinking of buying group B too, but I told them not to tell me to surprise them.

But a few guys bragged, and I had to face mobs during afternoon class who asked, ‘Did we crack down on the A-group kids so we wouldn’t buy them?’

Ugh, it’s horrible even thinking about it now.

* * *

When I wake up to the loud alarm, it is already 6:30.

Normally, it’s time to take a leave card and eat, but today I skipped the meal.

I won’t pretend to be a high-end colorist, but it’s for conditioning.

After class, I continued simulating a fight with the vice principal.

If the situation goes the way I thought, I think there is a certain degree of odds.

Of course, if it’s not the case, it’ll be a little difficult, but I won’t lose in vain.

It was time to go soon, so I picked up the sword I had prepared in advance.

It wasn’t a training sword that I usually use, nor was it the sword originally used by Kang Shin-hyeok.

However, it is the master’s sword that I am most familiar with and always used when training with the master.

Last Sunday, I was going back to school, but the master brought it to the cycle and asked me to take it and use it.

It was a little difficult at the time because of people’s eyes while coming without a scabbard, but now that I have a familiar sword, I feel like my anxiety is alleviated.

Besides, this sword is not something like a gift from our clan, but it is an expensive sword given as a gift by one of the master’s only two friends.

Even though it is old and it looks like it is too burnt and scratchy, the master manages the blade every day, so the blue spirit shines through.

I looked at the blade of the sword and quickly left the swordsmanship training ground because I thought I would be late.

Today’s duel location is a magic arena a bit far from the swordsmanship training ground.

The magic arena is covered with various magics, so it is easy to restore, and the shock that occurred inside does not leak to the outside.

Both Kim Man-dong and I are not magicians, but we are both hunters who use mana.

It was made for students, so there is a risk that it will break if an attack exceeds a certain level, so I heard that in Dalian today, some magic department teachers are deploying separate barriers for safety.

We arrived at the magic arena, the location of the duel.

Looking through the cracks in the open doors, the seats are already packed with people, including students and teachers.

It is said that it can accommodate up to 1,000 people because the martial arts competition is held here even during festivals, but since there are almost no empty seats, it seems that not only high school students but also middle school students came to see it quite a lot.

The vice-principal’s notice is on the education administration system, where only teachers can see it, but most people at school will know that I’m dueling today.

Practical skills teachers must have leaked it to students on purpose.

They will, of course, want me to be disgraced in front of more people, especially students, because I will be defeated terribly.

Of course, it was only natural for me to lose to a B-rank hunter and an S-rank vice principal.

However, rumors spread that I, who coveted the title of excellent teacher, made a ridiculous proposal to the vice principal without knowing the subject, and today’s sparring was concluded.

This, too, must be the work of practical teachers.

Of course, even so, I didn’t actively explain it, only saying it wasn’t like that to the students who directly asked me.

It’s enough to prove it with results.

And anyway, even if I didn’t have to explain, my students believed in me as much as I did.

How do you know?

Even when we were talking while eating snacks after class earlier, everyone was worried about me.

Not only that, but the evidence is right in front of your eyes.

“Sir Kang Shin-hyeok, fighting!”

“My teacher Kang is the best!”

“Milk color! Shinhyuk Kang!”

“i love you! Shinhyuk Kang!”

I see students cheering loudly from the seats on the second floor as if they found me.

It seems that all 80 students in our swordsmanship class came, as well as the students who are in charge of representing Eunsu and Eunseo, Jinsu and Minhee.

He even holds up a placard that reads, ‘Strongest pretty boy swordsman instructor Kang Shin-hyeok’.

It’s a bit embarrassing, but it doesn’t feel too bad.

Of course, the last cheers and placards saying “I love you” are quite burdensome.

I went up to the arena, waved my hands once to our students, and stretched lightly, but soon the audience became noisy.

“I am the Vice Principal!”

“Kim Man-dong! Kim Man-dong!”

“The Strongest Hunter! Kim Man-dong!”

It’s a much louder cheer than I did earlier, but… Can not help it.

Because I lose all status, recognition, and rank.

After seeing the cheers of our students earlier, the practical teachers could have told other students to cheer loudly when they came to sympathize.

The vice principal did not raise his hand and came up to the arena with an indifferent expression.

“I didn’t expect so many people to come this far. Have you prepared much?”

I don’t know what I don’t know, this old man.

“I worked really hard.”

Actually, I really did my best.

“I wouldn’t be able to have something prepared… . If you don’t want to be embarrassed, you’ll have to do your best from the start.”

“Sure. It would be good for the vice-principal not to be too vigilant.”

“hahahaha, after all, you’re funny. First of all, I’ll give you the first shot, so come in first when you start.”

nice.

Usually when you look at martial arts novels, the master yields 3 seconds to Ha-su, that is, 3 times.

And even in sparring between a high-rank hunter and a low-rank hunter, the high rank gives way to the first attack, even if it’s not up to three times.

It’s not exactly what the law says to do, but I thought this would be the case if the vice principal was full of confidence.

“I… Vice-Principal, we have a little time left, but since we’re here, can we start?”

The male teacher in charge of refereeing asks the vice principal, but he doesn’t even look at me.

“I don’t care. Mr. Kang, are you ready?”

“I don’t care either.”

“Then, we will announce the rules once again and start right away. By applying the advantage, if Mr. Kang Shin-hyeok succeeds in a single effective attack on the vice principal, Mr. Kang Shin-hyeok wins. Vice-Principal, do you agree to the terms?”

“Of course.”

“Does Mr. Kang agree?”

“I agree. I… By the way, I would appreciate it if the referee went outside when the game started. It can be a little dangerous.”

“what? No, Mr. Kang, I am A-class… .”

“Do what Mr. Kang says.”

“Ah, I see.”

It’s because I’m afraid I won’t get caught up in it, but fortunately, when the vice-principal says, he lowers his tail right away.

He glared at me, but it seemed that he was firmly hated.

Even if I win, I don’t know if I’ll be judged or not.

After giving a light salute and standing some distance away, the tumultuous hall became quiet.

Beep-!

The sparring began with the sound of the male teacher’s whistle.

As I said earlier, the vice principal beckoned me to come in first.

I immediately raised my inner energy in the Danjeon.

I feel my body energize and all my senses expand.

Also, a blue aura began to rise from the sword I was holding.

“Wow! It’s an auror sword.”

“Wasn’t Mr. Kang a B rank?”

I can hear the voices of students surprised in the audience.

I think I was surprised because the sword skill, a technique called the Orusode among hunters, is usually used a lot by A rank hunters.

But it’s too early.

As he endured the numbness of the dantian and raised his internal energy to the limit, the blue aura surrounding the sword gradually deepened.

Soon, it completely covered the sword, and the sword itself formed the shape of the sword.

“I… Isn’t that an Aura Blade?”

“What kind of aura blade is this? That’s a skill only used by S-rank hunters! They must be similar in appearance.”

“It seems to be the same as the one I saw on YouTube.”

The buzz seems to have grown louder than before.

The master denigrated it, saying it was a rogue that could not be used in real combat, but the vice principal’s arrogance gave me a chance.

“Keuheum, I think we can attack soon.”

It doesn’t seem like he’s trying to show off his sympathy, but he looks pretty flustered.

Usually, a conceded first attack is used to lightly attack for the purpose of searching, and he does not prepare for an attack by pouring all his strength in this way like I did.

It may seem a little cowardly, but honestly, what is more cowardly is that old man who made me do this open sparring even though I made a promise under the name of a man.

“I’m coming, Vice Principal.”

What I prepared is not the end of the sword class.

A friend’s martial arts that the master taught us by emphasizing several times that our school’s martial arts were never running.

I was surprised to hear the name.

Recalling the memories of practicing, he rotated the sword full of strong energy and shot it straight toward the sympathy.

Heavenly Demon Sword (天魔劍法).

Meteor Explosion Demon River.

Small fragments of sword steel protruding from my ever-rotating sword begin to fill the arena, scattering like meteors exploding, as the herbivore name suggests.

As the herbivorous name implies, one of our master’s two closest friends and the master of this martial art is Cheonma.
