I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman

Episode 14. Lightning King (5)

Episode 14

One

Seeing the cadets suddenly rushing at the Minotaur, Siu thought.

‘Have you gone out of your mind as a group?’

If that’s the case, would you jump right in?

“Quoooooooo!!”

The runaway of the Minotaur has already begun. The charge of the cadets also cannot be stopped by himself.

The condition for clearing the quest is survival of all cadets.

His eyes rolled quickly. Fortunately, Jin Hyun-min and Yoo Ji-min were not seen among the cadets.

It’s a heartless word, but if someone dies and the quest fails, it will just be an accident.

However, since I came this far, I cannot fail the quest.

How far I’ve been tossed around!

Even if it’s unfair, you have to succeed. I don’t like the death of poor kids.

The red-eyed Minotaur swung the double-edged ax wide.

Aggro was attracted to him, and the cadets didn’t seem to care.

It was Siwoo’s job to buy time so that the aggro would not be resolved. The moment the aggro bounces elsewhere, the cadet will die and the quest will fail.

To do so, he must constantly stimulate the Minotaur. You have to attack.

Cadets go first against upper-middle level monsters whose limits have been lifted.

“hahahaha, f*ck.”

I heard that there are things in the world that you have to do even if you don’t want to, and there are things you have to do even if you can’t.

Siwoo, who had to force himself to do something he didn’t want to do and couldn’t, showed a creaky smile.

Let’s hold on for 5 seconds, no more, and in 5 seconds, the instructor or the wizard will do anything, muttering that, he rushed at the monster.

With the little energy left, he draws out the sword as much as he can.

Plum blossoms stretched across his sword.

1 sec.

jumped high into the sky The Minotaur threw a double-edged ax at high speed.

One corner of Siwoo’s mouth goes up. induction was successful.

Ax throwing is a unique pattern that only appears in a runaway state.

Air waves exploded on the soles of his feet and he narrowly evaded.

There is a big risk that the weapon cannot be used after throwing, but if it hits, it is a crazy attack that deals damage equal to 20% of the enemy’s max HP.

In reality, it would just be an instant death instead of 20%, but it was a benefit since I avoided it anyway.

Siu started to fall on the Minotaur with his sword held high.

2 seconds.

The Minotaur roars. He seems angry because he lost his one and only weapon.

I’ll throw it a little more carefully… .

Siwoo got closer to him with a fast speed.

His red eyes are focused only on Siwoo.

A guy in a runaway state had no choice but to evade. There is no defense.

Only attack is defense and evasion. So, this attack will also be countered with an attack.

This was a fortunate fact for Siwoo, who had no choice but to attack.

Because the pattern is different according to the player’s attack part, selection and prediction are possible.

The target Siwoo chose was the top of his head.

If you aim for the arm, you will be punched and roll on the floor as a water swallow, and your back will explode with his hind kick.

The chest is surprisingly a target point in the game, and there is a 50% chance of piercing the heart and killing it instantly, but if you fail, your arm will be torn off.

You can’t risk your life with a 50% chance.

The crown was better than the rest.

Just trying to hit it in the head. If you avoid the horns well, you can just think of landing on its head.

Of course, he would lift his head up like a bullfight and fly back into the sky… … Wouldn’t it just take time anyway?

3 seconds.

I dodged the horns and landed on the top of my head. At the same time, I had the good fortune of thrusting my sword into the back of his neck. The second effective hit after the flank. Thanks to that, I didn’t fly above the sky again.

By that time, the cadets had arrived right in front of the Minotaur.

Siwoo did not come down from his body for more certain aggro.

He kept stabbing his sword at his trapezius muscle and around his shoulder.

Of course, he went crazy and Siwoo swayed like a paper doll while holding onto his horn.

The magic that exploded like sparks from the horn stung, but it was bearable.

at that time. The boy at the head of the charging cadets swung his sword at the Minotaur’s ankle. The arrogant frown must have been an ignorant attack that did not think of the back.

bang-!

Even so, the sword was stained with blood, as if he was quite skilled.

The cadets who arrived after a narrow gap each left their own scars on the monster’s body. A huge fireball came flying.

Siwoo was pretty chilled by the fireball, but luckily it hit the boat.

Aggro ping-pong and the attack of the cadets who penetrated the gap caused the most damage since the battle. However, before there was time to rejoice, a change occurred in the Minotaur’s body.

The restraints on his limbs were cracked… … It’s broken.

It went white in Siwoo’s mind.

‘Oh my god, f*ck… … .’

Fortunately, there was a black hole not far away. I could see the instructors rushing out of the hole.

1 sec. You just need to hold out for 1 second.

The Minotaur crossed his hands and raised it high into the sky. The magical energy from the horn was transferred to the pod, and a ferocious spirit arose.

If that thing comes down and is taken down, it doesn’t end with two or three deaths. Above all else, you are at risk.

Siwoo hurriedly used his ki to collect sword ki, but his energy had long since run out.

0.5 seconds ahead.

One of the instructors is about to throw a spear. I can feel an unusual energy from the spear burning purple, but I don’t think I can reach the monster in 0.5 seconds.

0.3 seconds.

There is no time to think more.

It’s a short shot, but Si-woo, who judged that the instructor was late, finds another move without regret.

Since the Minotaur had stopped rampaging in order to land a big blow, Siu, who no longer needed to balance, pulled out the sword he had stuck in his hat.

And swung at the horn.

At that moment, one of the instructors showed a blank expression as if asking what that bastard was doing.

The Minotaur also seemed to not care about Siu, whether he believed in his own horn.

The Minotaur’s horn was famous for being hard enough to be used as a material for cutting machine blades that worked with high-strength ore.

However, Siwoo’s right arm also has a history of breaking cracks that are famous for being hard.

The more I use it, the more mysterious erosion seems to be, so I decided not to use it for a while, but now I am in that situation.

It’s a hand with a lot of doubts, but there was no other way.

0.1 seconds.

Magical power turned into fire and wrapped around his clenched fists, and began to fall down like a meteorite.

The cadets widened their eyes as if they had finally grasped the situation. Some dropped their weapons, others fainted at the approaching death.

However, before his fist fell, a sonic boom exploded from the plum sword and landed on the Minotaur’s horn.

pop-!!

The horn, unable to withstand the massive impact, literally exploded.

Shards that had not been cut cleanly and had been smashed unevenly were scattered in all directions. It was the result of swinging only with force, not with anticipation.

The horns act as antennas to feel magical power and receive it into the body, so all nerves are most concentrated.

Rather, it was more lethal.

The magic on his fist disappeared like a lie, and the instructors did not miss that gap.

I rushed at it like a shotgun and drove a sword and a spear into the guy’s neck.

“Wow, you have really good resilience.”

“Thank you for your treatment.”

“excuse me… … , there is a project we are working on, called the correlation between hormones and self-repair-”

“I don’t.”

“If you participate, you will receive a huge reward-”

“We don’t test on humans.”

Siwoo declined Healer’s offer and left the seat.

I was treated by a healer so as not to reveal my ignorant resilience.

Anyway, if I was just going to beat the horns, I thought it would have been better if I split the head.

Die this way, die that way, but it must have been the same… … , Rather, it seems that the aggro was attracted by smashing the horn.

Anything is good when it’s moderate, but I was in a hurry and threw away everything I saw.

Still, what to do with what has already happened, Siwoo hoped that people would think positively of it. A controversy that is not the same as useless jealousy… … It seems to be very cumbersome.

He shook his head and let go of his worries.

In fact, we are not in a state to worry about what may or may not be.

“I want to collapse quickly… … .”

I was tired and dizzy.

Most of the wounds were healed, but in that short time, the load on the body was carried out as much as possible. Fatigue that has penetrated deeply into muscles and joints can only be relieved by sufficient rest.

It had been a filthy, hard and exhausting day, he muttered with blank eyes.

Fortunately, today’s lecture ends with this.

“Ugh… .”

With every step he took, his bones screamed. Walking like a zombie, I opened the door of the clinic and came out.

“… ?”

Countless glances poured in.

Everyone looked at him, including instructors and cadets. In particular, the eyes of Jin Hyun-min, who is crossing his arms from the other side, are hot.

He must have activated his apparent seclusion a little, and his presence would have faded… .

I could understand why people were staring at me, but I didn’t want to pretend to know.

Ignoring all gazes, I approached Kangmin Cheon, who was standing in the middle.

He said the matter right away.

“Can I go?”

“You may go.”

“Yes, good job.”

As Siwoo bowed and was about to turn around, Kangmin said.

“I apologize on behalf of the Minotaur for running amok.”

“Ah, yes… . it’s okay.”

Siu replied as if nothing really happened.

Maybe because of the Event quest… , Since the monster was suppressed within seconds after the rampage, the response was not slow either.

Above all, I was so tired that all I wanted to do was rest.

“In the academy, there will be rewards on the upper level. especially… … If it wasn’t for the initiative of Cadet Lee Si-woo, great damage would have occurred. The cadet’s base saved the cadet here.”

“Even if it wasn’t for the quick response from the instructors, it would have been a big deal. Thank you for saving me.”

Siu said moderately to show modesty and to build up the instructor’s prestige.

Originally, if you make a contribution, you should give it to others, and you should covertly bury the faults of your superiors so that your social life is comfortable.

“… … Thank you for saying that. Let me know if there is a reward you want. I will try to match as much as possible.”

So, isn’t there such a surprise reward?

Again, this needs to be answered quickly.

“An elixir or item that increases energy. Please.”

“i get it. please go back and rest I had a really hard time today.”

He tapped Shiu on the shoulder. Siu bowed his head and left the Colosseum.

Even the moment I left the door, the sticky eyes on my body were soggy, but I never looked back.

“I have to buy it for a while.”

It was just a promise.

As he slipped away, the instructor shouted loudly.

The contents were such as apologizing for what happened today, compensation will be given, and it is okay to disband.

After the instructor’s short speech, the Colosseum became noisy again.

Instructors with instructors, cadets with cadets. The group was divided, but the subject was the same.

“Is it true that you broke the horn by striking it? that is… does it?”

“It is difficult to explain simply with characteristics or skills. Probably, he was born with basic dragon power.”

“Perhaps it could be a person with blood line abilities.”

“I wonder if excellent swordsmanship came from a strong body… .”

“Leadership is also innate. He has the talent to move people’s hearts.”

“Historically, there is not a single rider who has raided a Minotaur. The same goes for academies all over the world. It all started with him.”

The instructors had a heated discussion about his talent and character.

The cadets were also similar, but slightly different.

To be precise, the reaction of some female cadets.

“me… … , You must like a beard.”

“I have ponytails… You liked it.”

“I have scars on my face… .”

“When I told you to stay back because I was in the way… In fact, maybe we weren’t worried about it.”

“is it… .”

“I don’t know, I think so.”

“Listening to it, it seemed that his voice was kind.”

Unexpectedly, the standard of handsomeness and kindness was changing.

Upon returning home, Siu, who collapsed as if fainting, opened his eyes to the sound of ringing.

[There are unconfirmed notifications.]

I checked the notification in a messy state.

[＜Event. Stop the rampage of monsters.＞ Cleared.]

[1,000P will be paid.]

[Possessed Points: 1,250P]

[The novice monster hunter’s ‘Intimidation’ changes to ‘Charisma’ when the conditions are met.]

[charisma]

1. Unknown atmosphere

▶ Strangely, it catches my eye.

▶ You can create the atmosphere you want to create.

– coercion, fear, determination, benevolence

– Depending on the opponent’s strength and resistance, it can be ignored.

2. The voice of authority

▶The user’s words are dignified.

▶ User’s words become persuasive.

3. contempt

▶If the enemy in battle is a monster, it changes to Contempt.

▶In the case of humanoid monsters, the effect of Charisma is applied at the same time.

※Charisma can be turned on/off and does not consume any cost.

“oh… … .”

Silently admiring, Siwoo quickly closed the system, pulled up the blanket, and went back to sleep.
