I Became a Time-Limited Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

30. Ruins Excavation

1It was late at night when I woke up.

“Thank you very much.”

Leatis looked at his wooden sword.

‘Can a single change in the attitude of wielding make such a difference?’

The agony disappeared with each swing.

From the way the sword is held to the cutting, the format of the frame is broken.

Even though the inspection is obviously the same.

‘As expected… L has more talent than me.’

Out of the sky

I was amazed when I saw L.

“Can you stand up?”

“Impossible.”

Leiatis sat down and shook his head.

She was awakened by her weary body, and she swung her sword all day long, so even the eldest daughter of a Sangvis swordsman couldn’t stand it.

Leiatis also looked at her blood-soaked body in a daze, as if in trouble.

“I can’t go home alone in that state… I can’t help it.”

She squatted on her back.

“Hang on.”

“Uh, get up?”

Leatis’ face turned red like her blood.

Uphi!

No matter how much she is a pathetic virgin herself, it is impossible for her to entrust her body to an outsider.

‘Besides, I’m in a mess right now!’

The moment she is lifted, her own blood will splatter all over her El.

Leatis shook her head desperately.

“No! That’s something you shouldn’t be doing for me or for you.”

“Then what are you going to do? Can you go back alone?”

“That, that’s…”

“I’ll give you two options. Do you want me to carry you back to the Noble dorm? Or do you want to wash up and sleep here.”

“No sleeping!”

“Isn’t it?”

“……”

She realized that it was an inevitable choice.

Her throat was dry from the scorching heat.

‘Is El’s back this big?’

The only time I’ve seen a man’s back so closely is her father’s back.

She took a deep breath in tension.

“Then… Excuse me.”

Kook.

I felt something soft touch me.

Very light weight. It was light enough to make me wonder what the heck he was eating.

“It’s okay to put it down if it’s heavy!”

Leia Tis pulled her back as far as she could with her eyes closed.

It was an act conscious of her own huge chest.

But there was no way that would work for her.

“Ugh…”

She sits down as her arms start to tremble.

In the end, with a feeling of desperation, I leaned over L.

I bowed my head in shame.

Tuk-tuk.

Blood drips.

El’s clothes gradually got wet, but he didn’t say anything.

‘…It’s comfortable.’

Eyes that gradually close.

I listened to the back.

The pounding you don’t know if it’s yours or L’s.

The shame was gradually eaten up by the bullying.

***

– You are not even a man!

“What are you talking about suddenly appearing, old man?”

– Hey! It’s like an animal with separate estrus!

Grandel appeared after a long time and made a fuss.

Her lips were pouting for what was so dissatisfying.

– I kept quiet as much as I noticed.

“…I live my life. You look at the comic books over there.”

– He’s like the insensitive main character of the light novel…

“Nope.”

He took Leatis almost as if he had thrown it.

I was exhausted in many ways too, so I ran into some students on the way… But I didn’t see any of them because it was late at night.

Perhaps.

‘I can’t wear this.’

Looking at the blood-soaked uniform, he frowned.

It was one of the few uniforms. I put it in the trash without hesitation.

Shuaa ㅡ

I washed my messy body in one go.

ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ

“Are you also enlightened?”

Your swordsmanship level has reached 5 stars.

Every time he swung his sword, the flow of air was read, not the opponent’s.

Which way to swing is more advantageous to me.

It did not end with a one-dimensional idea, but developed further.

‘That’s not all. The impossible became possible after reaching the 5th level of swordsmanship.’

He raised his hand.

Damn it.

The chill that traveled up the stream of water turned everything into ice.

‘It is impossible to use the blood veins blocked by the syllable artery, but the blood veins made by Professor Durahan are possible. I’ll be able to freeze all of the extremely cold negative energy.’

Since the frost sword was wielded with ice, it could be said that the true beginning began with 5 stars.

‘My physical abilities have also improved. Now, it’s okay to go to the top of the academy.’

The only thing left now is a short lifespan.

I ran my hair through it.

It’s not the same face I’ve seen before, perhaps because the skeleton itself has changed.

From the image of a sickly patient, the feeling of an unemployed person living in the north.

‘Well, I have to live with this, but it’s valid.’

I came out after shaking off the water.

– Meow

“Hmm?”

A cry came from beneath my feet.

As expected, it is the cat I saw this morning.

“Why are you here?”

I don’t remember bringing it.

The cat didn’t particularly like it.

– Meow?!

I was startled when I picked up the cat.

I put it down because I struggled and made a fuss.

‘Ah, you hated being touched, didn’t you?’

What really surprised me was the human-like reaction. Her pupils widened as she pulled her head behind him.

– Nya, meow?

Looking at my face in disbelief, he raised his hand.

‘Are animals attracted to people’s looks?’

It was amazing to be there without making a fuss.

I also came to my senses for a while.

A cat walking somewhere grabbed something and handed it to me.

“…Hair?”

Long hair. Leatis’s would have been black, but strangely, it was yellow.

***

The time for archaeological excavation has come.

Lectures that more and more students apply for as an opportunity to obtain more than a few artifacts instead of exercising their bodies vigorously.

That’s why the professor’s role was extremely important.

Not only do we have to find a suitable zone at the level of the students, but we also have to find or create ruins because our main goal is artifacts.

If you don’t find it before class…

At that time, she had to shed tears of blood and buy artifacts through her wallet to decorate the temple.

That’s why it was the rarest class and a talented professor had to come.

The place is ‘Twisted Space’

I had to go somewhere far away, so I used a convenient portal.

“If everyone comes, be quiet.”

A solemn voice came from below.

When I lowered my head slightly, there was a little boy.

‘This is the first time I’ve actually seen a dwarf.’

A short stature with a beard that was thick enough to cover the body.

A Viking helmet worn on the head at all times except when sleeping.

The curious thing was that he was wearing an intelligent monocle as if to appeal that he was a professor.

But the students did not focus on the professor.

– Look at that. It’s a cat

– Oh really? Why bring a cat here?

– What kind of rumors are you trying to inflate again…

‘Rumors?’

Students around me are whispering to me.

A student I knew just said hello.

“El! Here you are!”

“Theo.”

Theo Artos. If it had a tail, it would go round and round like a propeller and smile brightly.

“That cat is so cute! Can I touch it too?”

Theo looked at the cat, the main character of the topic, with twinkling eyes.

The place where the cat is is none other than my shoulder.

He was sitting elegantly, feeling the wind as if he were the king of cats.

‘Yesterday, he hated being touched like that, but he changed his mind.’

They say you can’t understand a cat’s mind. It was just like that.

Tak!

“Ouch! Fast, fast!”

As soon as he was about to touch the white fur with his fingers, he stopped him with a cat-specific cat punch.

Theo withdrew, crying.

“Because he doesn’t like being touched by anyone. More than that, Theo. It seems like the kids have been staring at me a little bit since before. Are there any strange rumors about me?”

“Ah~ It’s no big deal! Your reputation has skyrocketed!”

“My reputation…?”

“It wasn’t enough to break that arrogant Gallihad and take away his swordsmanship, and you leveled the combat skills class! It’s strange that rumors aren’t spreading. I knew you were amazing a long time ago!”

Theo laughed as he lightly drew the sword from his waist.

It meant that he wanted to sparr with himself like Galihad.

– Now, you will definitely win.

Grandel appeared while reading a comic book with glasses as if he was insignificant.

– The level of swordsmanship is 5 stars. Incredible talent that has grown in just a few days. It’s embarrassing to even say that the sky gave birth to her. At this level, it is almost safe to call it the reincarnation of the Sword Master.

Grandel did not hold back his praise.

But I looked at the soul in my heart as if I didn’t like something.

– But on the contrary, the growth of the marriage period stopped. Why…

“Does Grandel not know?”

My frustration grew.

– I have some guesses, but they are still hypothetical. I’ll find out as much as I can, so don’t worry.

Grandel grinned as if telling him not to worry.

Ever since then, Grandel is a colleague who contributed greatly to beheading the demon king at the former warriors party.

Right now, I’m in the middle of reading comic books in my room.

“Wait. Where is Galihad?”

“Galihad? Eh. Really. Didn’t he run away after being hit by you?”

Galihad also takes this class.

Later, it was like a carcinogen, and it suddenly disappeared while playing the role of holding the ankles of the team members.

‘Did you really feel ashamed of me and miss class?’

Is this a number you’ve only heard about?

My insides were all cool.

“Student El. Is that a cat?”

Hearing the commotion, the dwarf professor Cadel Passey approached.

“Yes, Professor.”

“I wonder if the animal helps the student in the lecture?”

“Of course.”

“Then I understand.”

Cadel Passy nodded.

Basically, participation in all lectures is free.

As long as it doesn’t make a fuss or disturb the lecture, even monsters can be brought.

The reason why this kind of freedom has been created is because high-ranking people bring their pets.

‘And above all, it doesn’t matter as long as you have skills.’

This kind of treatment would have been impossible if it had been me in the past.

Tak!

“…A cat with a bad temper.”

The moment the professor, who had been secretly expressing indifference, tried to touch the cat, he was hit with a cat punch.

Now I know what it feels like to have a beard.

– Kyaaak!

But the cat’s behavior did not end there.

The cat came down from his shoulder and punched the dwarf professor and some students. The worst was the service.

‘Do you not like it?’

I saw you yesterday and you were very smart and understood what people were saying. It wasn’t that he had a bad temper to the point of arguing with passers-by.

The cat gave me a long hiss and gestured to me. It was as if he was telling him to keep an eye on him.

“What a bad tempered cat!”

– Kyaaagh!

Theo smiles brightly, but he lowers his jaw with a troubled expression.

That just seemed like an annoyance.

***

“The purpose of our lecture, as the name suggests, is excavation of artifacts. It looks like a trivial task that only adventurers would enjoy, but in reality it is very wrong. The reward obtained with romance filled with adventure, sweat, effort, and tears is cold beer. I’m not envious of. My lecture is to tell you that there is a path like this if you have trivial hobbies or trips in the future, so listen carefully.”

Professor Dwarf stood in front of ‘Twisted Space’ and explained.

“If you go inside, you will be greeted by a huge temple along with a grassland area. If the coordinates of the space are not going to go wrong, but if you ever encounter such an event, calmly return to ‘Twisted Space’. It stays on for 10 hours, so it should be safe.”

Nodded.

There is something I brought in anticipation of the artifacts I will get this time.

‘Goblin Statue. I will see Ganelle after a long time.’

It was a goblin statue so big that its nose was questionable.

If you press this nose, the goblin merchant, Ganelle, will visit you. I ran right away in the game, but it might take a while in real life.

“Then let’s go inside one by one.”

The dwarf professor guided the students.

“I hope nothing else happens! Then I go first!”

Theo jumped and flew away.

Sureuk.

‘…?’

The portal seems to have gone black for a moment. Is it because of my mood?

When I looked at it again after concentrating, it became blurred like blue paint.

– Meow.

The cat cried anxiously.

When my turn finally came.

“…Go in.”

As I was pushed away by a large hand pushing my back, the portal turned black in an instant.
