I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

22. Shadows

It was a long time before I took combat technology classes.

– Isn’t that enough?

Grandel put the comic book down.

Damn it, damn it.

A freezing sound was heard from El’s dorm room.

In order to increase her marriage period, El was practicing with her soul sphere.

‘Gonom is really poisonous. Even among the Druid clan, there was no one like him.’

Poisoning Reading comprehension.

L, who is constantly working hard, is now amazing.

As soon as the class at the academy is over, that’s all I’ve been practicing! During the rising and setting of the sun, El did not let her soul orb fall from her hand.

‘But I don’t see any sign of growth.’

She looked closely at the soul orb El had created.

A chill that rotates around the center of the sphere. The spirits trembling and circling hard around it.

L’s marriage period was still stopped at 2 stars.

She predicted that even a few days ago, when she caught Pelonos, she easily handled her soul orb and predicted that she would reach marriageable age 3 soon, but she was as if blocked by a wall. Did not do it.

Is there a problem?

– L, please stop. It’s good to work hard without rest, but if you just run, your body will break down first.

Elle opened her eyes to hear her words, Grandel.

The hardened soul orb has not changed. Still ominous and cold

She didn’t like it very much.

“Is there any way to speed up marriage growth?”

– Go back when you are in a hurry. Originally, marriage is the only way to grow by spending time and patience. Rather, it was too fast.

“……”

Grandel looked at El’s soul and thought carefully.

‘It’s as if someone is blocking El’s growth. Is her shell, her body, the problem?’

This is a first-time phenomenon.

If that was the cause of hindering the matriarch’s growth, there was no way Grendel could use it.

Because it’s unprecedented.

It was like a rare disease with no cure.

– Still, there is not necessarily only one way for you.

Grandel held up the sword lying in the corner of her room.

Befitting a basic weapon provided by the academy, it was very worn out. However, balance and moderate weight were sufficient to wield.

“Is it swordsmanship?”

– Didn’t I tell you? He watched the warrior’s sword over his shoulder. I won’t be able to teach you directly like the academy’s swordsmanship professors, but at least it’s easy to see and evaluate.

Grandel swung his sword.

Short and simple. I cut vertically from top to bottom. The wind parted and there was no sound.

‘It’s neat.’

Grandel’s swordsmanship wasn’t superfluous at all.

Once you hold the sword in a fresh appearance, it feels like you are looking at the sword castle.

– Now, wield it yourself. Show everything you can do, not just one swordsmanship. Rate it all

It may sound arrogant, but Grandel’s eyes are sincere. He was the one who wanted the best for L more than anyone else.

It would be right to repay those expectations.

I used all my remaining energy on my sword.

– The speed and power of the quick sword are perfect, but that is the result that can only be brought about by borrowing the strength of the body. I still haven’t realized the reason for the quick sword. The quick sword of the warrior I saw was not focused on being ‘fast’, but rather attacked from the opponent’s point of view.

– The dungeon is very good. I understood the fundamentals of invading and preying on the opponent’s territory. But even so, the sword shouldn’t be too slow. What idiot would take that easy? It’s better for practice than practice.

– There is nothing to criticize about Yu-Geom. Because there was no case where the hero was pushed by force.

The last sword remained. But it was also a swordsmanship he had never done before.

The sword is the most universal sword, and the key is that it is fast and strong, and that each hit can be a fatal blow.

‘Grandel emphasized the position of the other party, not mine. Are the swords the same?’

I closed my eyes.

Looking at my body in the third person. It reads the size of this room, the windows, various objects, and even the flow of the wind.

Imagine.

A corps that stands upright and advances.

The humans standing in front of them are frightened when they see the eyes hidden behind the towering swords and helmets.

Kungkung!

The weight of the heavy armor trembles the ground.

If you run away, you will be pierced through the back, and if you fight, you will be pierced through the heart.

The rest of the time is spent trembling and praying for a painless death.

Pae-gi

I win before I even swing my sword.

I put my strength into all of that.

Suddenly ㅡ !

– …I like that a little bit.

Grandel stepped back for a moment.

Even though it was a soul, I felt like my throat was cut by El’s sword.

***

Although he is said to be an emotionless homunculus, Gall was a bit special.

As generations passed, Elyos guardians evolved from ordinary tools to tools that could feel even a little bit of emotion.

It was a process to take care of the owner a little more, but it wasn’t always good to learn emotions.

Fleeing from fearful things…

You just learned to fear!

It was the most unnecessary thing on the battlefield.

‘As expected, Lady Lynn said.’

Gulp.

Dry saliva runs down the neck.

A while ago, El and Ladia were having a strategy meeting.

– Go! You just have to protect me To be honest, Radia’s magic is one level lower than mine. But it’s good to keep that in mind. See El over there? That man’s expression is unusual.

– Do you mean that you are above me?

As an Elyos, Rin had a unique ability, but she had the eyes to evaluate her opponent.

She

She was able to distinguish between good and evil, and she could even calculate the measure of force.

– Um… I don’t know about that.

But for the first time, Rin snooped her head.

– I’m sure he was a man who didn’t have much to do until a few days ago. Even now, how to say… I think he’s still growing.

– Is that possible?

– Anyway! It’s complicated to say. You just have to protect me well.

At the time, she didn’t know what Lin was talking about.

‘…Can I stop this?’

– Hee hee hee!

The flame horse gallops wildly.

Riding on top, El takes the reins and is ready to wield her sword at any moment.

This was the finished article.

A slayer wielding the battlefield has now appeared in an academy.

For the first time in his life, fear grips Gall.

Gal silently raised his sword.

To protect the one and only master, even at the cost of one’s life.

“I am Gal, the guardian of the Elyos! You’d better step on me first before attacking Lady Rin!”

Cheonho Sword (天護剣)

As a swordsmanship that protects the sky, it means to protect the Elyos.

A swordsmanship like an iron wall that has exceptional effects in protecting someone with its nickname.

I will never give up.

The spirits of Gal and El collided.

The fighting spirit emanating from El’s whole body pierces his heart.

“Come!!!”

Her teeth crumbled.

Roaring!

When the hot flames hit Gall.

“Huh?”

Gal let out a dazed noise in embarrassment.

Doo-doo-doo…

The sound of the Flame Horse’s footsteps travels through my ears and goes behind my back.

El was ignoring her hair and passed it as it was!

‘Alas!’

My goal is always lean.

It’s strange that I don’t have a speed advantage when I’m riding a horse while my opponent has poor mobility.

Furthermore, Gall’s attack ability is zero when he is left alone.

Conversely, if she neutralized Rin, who was incapable of her attack power, her victory would be a sure thing.

“Wait a minute! Where are you going! If you’re a student aiming for a knight, don’t run away, pursue your honor!”

“Does chivalry feed you?”

Gal’s earnestness was cut off with one word.

I hurriedly ran, stepping on the flame path, but the result was already decided.

“Kyaaah! Don’t come, don’t come, don’t come! Stop! No, surrender, surrender!!”

In the end, Rin, who was frightened by El’s rush, stumbled and cried out for her extended surrender.

“Ki, chivalry…”

Gall hadn’t moved a single step until that moment.

***

“hahahaha! This is crazy! I don’t know why it’s been so quiet!”

Professor Kukado grabbed his stomach and laughed maniacally.

I was so satisfied that I laughed so much that I had tears in my eyes.

‘How did I see a student like this now!’

Obviously, in the first class, we distinguished between trash and gemstones.

El was a gemstone that would never happen again, but her personality was very insignificant, so she was a gem that I did not expect much from.

So I let go of her expectations, and the result was very surprising.

“It’s perfect! You did a great job of protecting the mage, and on the other hand, you did a perfect job of defeating the enemy as a swordsman. Of course, it wasn’t the picture I wanted, but I can’t help but praise it.”

It was a little different from the contents of the class, but it was okay. She steered me in a more qualitative direction, so who’s to blame?

To be honest, Professor Kukado has tended to underestimate students too much while teaching.

Like a kid, ‘Professor! Why does a wizard enlist the help of a swordsman! I don’t need it!’ Or ‘Do not disregard our chivalry! This is dishonorable!’ Or something

I almost went crazy, but L let out such a frustrating feeling! She does and she pops.

“Professor! This is wrong! How can such a cowardly method be a victory!”

And there was also a student who shouted chivalry.

Professor Kukado looked at him like he was going to kill him.

“You stupid head! Think about it for a bit and say it! What have I been emphasizing all this time? Even if you stomp on the floor and show your back, if you win the fight, that’s all! If you die, will your ancestors win? Watch and learn, too! El is chivalry. I pursued real profit, not profit, so I’m sure you saw who won!”

“Yeah, but this is our honor…”

“From now on, whoever speaks of honor, I will make it honorable myself. Answer me if you know!!!”

“”Yes, I see!””

“I will award additional points to El and Ladia for their excellent sparring. No complaints?”

“”Of course!””

‘Is it too much to apply?’

This battle was the result of accurately destroying Professor Kukado’s tendencies.

I tried to show my coolness and receive support, but I think it was a bit lacking.

‘But I’ll be able to get it sooner or later.’

As Grandel said, I gave up my impatient mind.

“L! Are you okay? Didn’t you just burn?!”

Ladia caught her breath, soaked in her sweat. She continued to run to the distance where the flame horse ran, and she followed El.

No, who the hell would throw himself into the roaring flames!

She was Elle, so she did what she was told. If she was someone else, she’d be ‘crazy?’ And it would have been over.

“It’s okay. It doesn’t matter as long as the uniform is a little torn and burnt.”

“That, did you handle that?”

Ladia couldn’t believe it as she fumbled with El’s clothes. She has fairer skin than I thought. She was really good. She only rode the clothes and everything was fine.

‘How could this be?’

A man like an onion no matter how hard he peels it off.

The feeling of falling more and more into the mysterious charm!

That was so good.

It was when Ladia carefully tried to touch her, putting her hand on her blemish.

“Ahahahahaha! Ahahahaha!”

Rin’s laughter was heard from afar. She looked at Rin laughing maniacally, and she was at a loss for Gal.

Lynn smiles as she lies on the floor.

She jumped up immediately and she took a step towards El.

“Crazy! You’re completely crazy! You endured countless spears of water and even rode on top of a flame horse and penetrated the loopholes in the battlefield to come to me! What the hell do you normally think about that?”

“Li, Miss Lin… Calm down…”

“Shut up! You’re out.”

“…I understand.”

Lynn glared fiercely at her hair.

She wanted to punish her for not playing the role of a tool properly, but the El right in front of her was more intriguing than that.

“Hey, tell me. Did you plan it all from the beginning?”

“It wasn’t like that from the beginning. Battles are always created by variables.”

“Hmm, that’s right. This is a total genius! Do you have any plans to work as a guardian for the Evangeline family?”

“Lady Rin?!”

“It’s a joke. It’s a joke. You’re useless, but you’re good at driving a car.”

I don’t think snow is a joke.

There was greed in his staring gaze.

“Okay! That was a lot of fun. I think it’s the first time I’ve had this kind of fun. Um, can I give you something… Ah!”

Lynn clapped her hands together and pulled out something of hers from under her clothes.

“The key…?”

“This is the key to my dorm. If you come to my dorm later, I will give you a very nice present. Please come! Of course, you must come ‘alone’.”

Lin looked at Ladia with a grin. She was talking to someone openly.

“…L. Never go. If you go, you will die.”

Avoided Lydia’s eyes. I felt like living next to her.

‘Are you thinking of making contact with me?’

A smile is drawn on Rin’s face, but it’s not real.

My first defeat. And helplessness.

You must be resentful. If I could fight again, I would use magic with all my heart without laughing.

…As evidence, the angel ring above Lin was trembling. It’s affected by emotions.

Once you got the key to Rin’s dorm. Lydia’s eyes seemed to cut her.

“hehehehe. Thank you. Must come back later? Let’s go, go.”

Rin turned around and left.

Before Gal left, she paused and spoke to El.

“I’ll be sure to join you later. At that time, I want to officially join you again.”

“Of course. I’ll be looking forward to the Cheonho Sword.”

“…Thank you.”

Gal bowed her head to El and left.

***

Just because the sun rises doesn’t mean there is no darkness.

Just as there are shadows where there is light, there were, of course, those who live in the shadows.

It is neither an empire nor a kingdom. A place where you don’t even know if it’s east or west.

In this place where light does not exist, countless souls wander, weeping and mourning.

The dull land where the dead live cracked open and created a valley.

“Lord, dead! Four, four, hounds!”

A huge building in the valley.

The man with the chain over his mouth stammered.

“Woe, targeting the princess! Assassin! He’s dead…!”

“Hmm. It can’t be. The chance of the princess winning against Pelonos converges to 0. If there were no variables, it was a perfect assassination that would be 9.”

The scientist wearing a gas mask said in a steady tone.

“But, turn it off. It failed. Gulp. Oh, wait, this is so delicious? Turn it off.”

A man who was three times the size of a normal man continued to eat and burp.

The scientist frowned. The pig didn’t care and savored the meat inside.

Cheating Geek.

There was a mechanical sound somewhere.

– System error. Plans change. Another assassination suggestion.

“That’s why we’re asking for opinions. The fact that the princess lived meant that someone else was protecting her. The number is unspecified. The force is also unknown. We need information.”

Every body made of machines makes a loud noise.

But when there was no answer, he immediately turned his gaze elsewhere.

– Are you sure you don’t want to say anything?

– ……

– The assassination of the princess is a big problem for us too, so I’ll give you my opinion. We need your help.

– ……

– Chit. That’s not helpful.

The scientist clicked his tongue briefly.

Someone whose face was completely covered did not open his mouth until the end.

‘The moment you express your opinion, your face sprays poison…’

Everin, who can be said to be the only sane person here, kept quiet.

No, actually, she can’t be called a normal person either.

Because Evelyn is a demon, not a human.

‘Linadra seems to be nervous again.’

Linadra, who wears a hood and doesn’t say anything.

Everin also knew about Rinadra only when she was young and that she was a girl.

Unintentionally, however, the mysterious atmosphere and the right to remain silent were combined, and he was chosen as the strongest person in Mortal.

… Of course, no one knows Rinadra’s true power, as she has never revealed her powers and is the only one who talks to Evelyn.

Rosteria Plumero, Mad Scientist – When no one was talking about Ham Bracious, Evelyn had no choice but to step out.

“I’ll step in first. It’s easy to infiltrate using magic.”

“Is Evelyn going to come out? But why? I hated it the other day and turned it down.”

“That’s when you…! Ha, no. Just assume you changed your mind.”

“Okay. If it’s your ability, there’s no doubt about it.”

At that moment, Eve Lin tried to curse her.

The madman said I would do it the other day, but he stopped me by saying he would send his subordinates!

It was so disgusting to openly say I don’t know because the hunting dog failed.

“Haa…”

But what can I do?

It’s your own fault for being enticed by the wonderful name of the god of death. When I was young, I just hated puberty, which came hastily.

“Results until next week. Let’s finish here for today.”

That’s how the meeting ended.

Of the chairs for 7 people, 6 stood up.
