I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

28. Heaven and Earth

1Leatis bites her lips and strikes a pose.

The iron-blooded swordsman’s swordsmanship is famous for scaring anyone from the continent.

Gyeokmyeong Sword(擊命劍)

A swordsmanship that risks its life to attack the opponent.

Befitting an iron-blooded swordsman, it is a swordsmanship that one would not dare attempt without strong mental strength.

‘Is that the first stance of the famous death sword?’

Put your body upright to block attacks effectively.

Put the sword diagonally with both hands and take a posture to block incoming attacks.

It’s a perfect defensive stance. You’ll need at least two to break through.

‘The terrifying thing about the Gyungmyeong Sword is the method of giving flesh and taking bones. It’s better to go the standard way rather than spilling things for no reason or rushing at them quickly.’

Because I have the Frost Sword that Professor Dyurahan told me about.

Like Leatis, he took a deep breath.

Concentrate your mind.

The Earth Dragon’s eyes widen their field of view centering on the opponent and me.

Delicate looking muscles. Numerous lines predicting where they will bounce.

But…

‘There are no gaps at all.’

No matter how much I rolled my eyes, there was no gap in Leatis.

Truly, Taishan. It was itself.

Awkward.

I blew power into the sword. The wooden sword for training cries out for help.

At the same time, momentum rose from El’s body.

‘As expected, he’s an unusual man.’

Leatis was the same as El.

Not only was there no gap at all, and even if I moved even slightly, the eyes that immediately follow me were very stingy.

‘Besides, is this chill I’m feeling an Aura?’

Using an aura shouldn’t be a rule of sparring. I don’t think you would know that either.

And most of all, in the eyes of Leatis, who had reached the 5th level in swordsmanship, he did not come to see El.

‘Natural chill. What swordsmanship did he learn?’

Quickly grasp swordsmanship.

Fix each other’s posture to find out each other’s weaknesses.

It was L who came in first.

‘Right stab.’

A sword enters Leahtis’ side as she pushes her body forward.

Most prosecutors will make the same choice here.

Dodging by twisting your body to the left.

But Leatis did the exact opposite.

Catch up Geek!

“Your strength is harder than it looks. L.”

“……”

Innate strength. Overwhelming body dominance.

The fruit of decades of hard work.

I read El’s thrust with my eyes and put my swords together.

There is a scratching sound as wooden swords collide with each other.

Kang!

El’s wooden sword raised its head in an instant.

Leatis’s wooden sword dug into the easily exposed pit.

“I’m sorry.”

The match did not end easily. As if expecting it, she snapped her wrist and in an instant twisted the path of her sword.

‘It’s fortunate that you’re familiar with the Gyeomyeongsword.’

This is the scariest aspect of the iron-blooded swordsman’s swordsmanship.

There is no option to avoid it.

Rather than avoiding it, it aims for vital points by firmly holding on to it.

‘You just snapped the same obvious stabbing attack and aimed at my stomach. If I went in lightly as a taster, it would have been the end of the game.’

That is not possible with the criminal’s mental power.

Leatis’ life was in danger the moment he missed an attack, even for an instant.

“…?”

But Leatis wasn’t the only one with swordsmanship.

My body stiffens. It’s like being tied in a spider’s web!

Damn it…

Leatis lowered her head to check, and there was frost on her side.

“This is the chill I’ve been feeling since a while ago. I’m asking in case, but it’s not an aura, is it?”

“It’s my constitution. It’s not an auror.”

“……”

You have such a crazy constitution?

It seemed like a lie, but L’s serious expression and the way she’s shown so far were absolutely not the kind of person who would lie.

“It looks like it will be a tougher match than I thought.”

Leatis stuck dry saliva into her parched throat.

***

Kang, Kang!

In the white cube-like room, an unbelievable sound resounded from wooden swords colliding.

El frowned and stepped behind her.

‘It’s tricky. They don’t lose in mental battles, but the physical gap is too great. Besides, Leatis is overwhelming in terms of experience.’

If you aim for her arm, the sword will come to your gaze.

The moment they collide, they stick like leeches and do not fall off.

The moment I allowed a gap, even for a moment, the wooden sword digging into a vital point made me break out in a cold sweat.

But Leatis felt the same way.

‘That’s your constitution? The yin air was so extreme that sweat turned to ice. If you stick close, your arms get dull, and if you move your feet, the floor freezes. There are not one or two things to be concerned about.’

My throbbing arm complains of pain. It was like practicing a sword on a rainy day.

It was a confrontation between summits and summits.

Exchanging glances as if acknowledging that each other is a master.

‘But… I have the advantage.’

Leatis advances, gripping the wooden sword tightly.

From a defensive stance to an offensive stance.

‘Looks to check from the right.’

I have already figured out all of L’s habits. It was a short time, but to the swordsman it was like an eternity.

Take your feet from below with a black fake tucked into the right side.

“What?!”

Unsurprisingly, L tripped on her and was embarrassed.

She quickly corrected her stance to get into her stance, but her leatis was one step ahead.

Kang!

“What would I do without a sword!”

Hit her with a wooden sword. El gripped her wooden sword so that her molars cracked.

Kang, Kang!

Once.

Twice.

Three times.

Retrieving Leatis’s sword with her broken stance is not an easy task.

She drives like a storm as if she won’t even give her time to fight back.

Kang!!

Leatis’ attempt was great.

“That’s it. Admit defeat.”

Because she felt that the wooden sword had definitely left her grip.

“…?”

But I noticed something strange right away.

The wooden sword fell and stopped.

‘No, I didn’t stop. Fixed by something?”

I didn’t understand so I slightly opened her eyes.

Something connected to the wooden sword and hand.

That was ice.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been this tired. I thought I’d feel it only when I first stepped on the stairs to heaven to go to the dorm.”

Saaa ㅡ

A chill surged from El’s body like a runaway locomotive.

The floor freezes with a crackling sound. In an instant, the thickness is inflated and equipped with rigidity.

“This, such nonsense…”

In an instant, the ice invaded the vicinity of Leatis.

I took a step back, but the limits of the space were clear.

Whoa.

As you exhale, your breath comes out. It was winter.

“Let’s try again.”

El’s wooden sword was strange.

The chill clinging to her surroundings turned into ice, reinforcing her wooden sword.

Unlike a wooden sword, it became very hard and its sharpness also increased.

Shhh!

‘I can’t move my body!’

Leatis tried to counterattack right away, but his hands moved sluggishly.

Belatedly moving the body hurts the arm.

‘The chill has gotten worse…!’

The attacked area freezes again. I couldn’t move anymore.

El regains her momentum and attacks without mercy.

‘This is the power of the Frost Slasher. As the battle continues, the terrain is created in my favor. In addition, the chill clinging to the wooden sword becomes ice and strengthens it. If this is combined with the power of the soul sphere…’

Gulp.

There will be no opponent.

“Keugh…!”

Befitting the most talented swordsman in the academy, Leatis persevered dutifully even in unfavorable situations.

I remembered the sword I fought against the Elyos a few days ago.

‘I couldn’t do it right then.’

Let’s do it again here.

I made up my mind.

The sword is the momentum.

A swordsmanship that pushes off a precipice with endless attacks once it starts to attack.

On the other hand, the deadly sword is a swordsmanship that induces an attack and counters it.

It could be said that it is mutually compatible, but…

‘Compatibility is meaningless in front of higher technology.’

Here, the one who handles the sword better is the king.

I put power into the wooden sword.

I think of the ice that fits the current situation rather than the article.

Things you know but can’t stop.

Avalanches.

Humans become infinitely smaller in front of the gigantic nature.

Leatis raises a sword the size of a toothpick in front of the rolling snowball, but it doesn’t make any sense.

Kang!

“Kyaaak!”

Once.

The moment the swords meet, they bounce off.

The counter was a failure. The moment he tried to grab El’s sword, he broke the path and prepared for the next move.

As Leatis gnawed his teeth and straightened up again, the sword came frighteningly.

“…!”

Kang!

Ice blooms on the wooden sword.

The ice soon rode through Leatis’ hands and inflicted pain.

“Ugh!”

I chewed hard until my lips bled, but it was pointless.

A wooden sword that is already frozen solid and exhausted breath come out like breath.

‘In this state, I lose unconditionally…!’

In front of Leatis’s eyes, the words “Defeat” Appeared clearly.

I can’t lose this easily.

The swordsmanship of an iron-blooded swordsman.

The Gyeokmyeong Sword did not end here.

We have prepared a final move that no one has ever shown.

Stay calmly with trembling hands.

He has given up on defense a long time ago.

A precarious tightrope walk only for attack.

Leatis’ energy begins to rapidly diminish like a ticking time bomb.

But on the other hand, his strength and speed have gone up ridiculously.

‘It’s a mental battle now.’

How far do you lead your tired body and endure it?

Leatis had no intention of losing gracefully.

The look in your eyes has changed.

With an eye that will definitely win.

‘Comes.’

Damn it!

It was unbelievable that I had moved so slowly.

All the sticking ice is broken.

I used the last resort of the deadly sword that squeezed the limits of my body.
