I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman

Episode 30

One

Yoo Ji-min has recently fallen into a problem.

It is a long-standing and philosophical question about what human beings really are, from the past to all times and places.

However, if philosophers and Confucian scholars focused on the concept of human beings, her concerns are long connected to one individual.

In particular, the momentum that tightened the hamstrings that was shown recently… … .

“Jimin, shall we go this way?”

“Uh, yes.”

Her thoughts are interrupted by Jo Won’s words.

Jimin is currently inside the cave. To be precise, he was attacking a cave-type dungeon.

One of the academy’s curricula for actual combat, ‘Artificial Dungeon Master’, boasts a vivid sense of realism that makes you doubt whether it is truly man-made.

However, unlike the sense of realism, her mind is very calm. The same was true of his nephew.

“Oh, was that a water poison bear?”

“Yeah, let’s kill him first.”

It is different from the cadets in the other classes who ignore it by saying, “Ah, it’s a big deal” until entering the room, but when they are put in, they make a fuss saying, “Oh, isn’t that for real?”

This is a strange phenomenon that only appeared in class 1-A, but funny enough, the cause of this is related to the man Jimin was worried about until now.

Class 1-A realized early on that their past training was just playing hero. The shame and shame he felt at that time sublimated into a kind of spirit of improvement and fighting spirit through the battle he experienced in the monster killing unit.

Evolution or cataclysmic mindset change wasn’t just because they went through a battle.

Because a man who scolded the ugliness and vanity inside the cadets by fighting alone stood in the vanguard and fought again.

Because he stood silently and guided them forward as they sat there in shame and embarrassment.

It’s because I walked while looking at the back of the man who showed me the way he was going through actions, not words.

Fighting behind him, he saw what he was looking at.

The brutality of reality, not training, is not something that can only be created by dolls.

Their sullenness and composure are possible because they know how big the difference between training pretending to be in real combat and real real combat is the difference in reality.

This is why the cadets of 1-A think of Siu as their half-leader.

And starting from his work of protecting Jimin from Kim Moon-ho, they regard him as a model or idol of heroes.

It’s not that different from Jimin. As the person responsible for saving the life, I am grateful to him more than anyone else, and I am preparing to repay him at the family level.

In the process, ‘father’ asked to see his face, but that must be trivial.

However, as someone who talked to him a little more and went through a little more… … . I don’t think of him as flawless like my classmates.

The words Jin Hyun-min said the other day kept ringing in her ears these days.

-Are you curious, why is that man’s sword straight?

– You should be used to it.

-If you go through life and death a few times and realize that your existence is really no different from dust, your sword becomes like that.

– Black says everything. I can’t say I know the life he’s lived, but I can read it. It wouldn’t have been an easy road.

‘What path did I walk on?’

you.

‘What kind of life have you lived’

Can you show me a sword like that?

Was it a terrible life, a hell without day and night?

Maybe that’s why I had no choice but to have a sword like that… … .

However, you were kind.

‘It was kind.’

At dawn, in the forest where even the moon closed its eyes, you answered my question.

You noticed a small lump mixed in the question. Instead of clumsy consolation, I raised my sword.

That was your answer, and it was the correct answer for me.

How could you answer like that? Is it because there was such a time?

If yes, what did you do then? Did you grab the sword again? Did he kill the monster and swing his sword until it was soaked in blood?

By doing so.

‘Did he have such a terrifying aura?’

Jimin’s worries sometimes bloomed. Irrespective of the time and place, it came out of nowhere and disturbed my head. A troublesome worry that does not easily go away.

It would be fine if you just didn’t care, but Jimin didn’t want to do that.

The reason is. well.

It could be because he opened his eyes to a new swordsmanship, or because he gave feedback on that swordsmanship, or because he readily accepted the request for feedback, or because he saved him from that unscrupulous man.

However, does the reason matter?

There are things you don’t do even if you have a lot of reasons, and there are things you want to do even though you can’t give any reason.

This concern is clearly the latter.

Yoo Ji-min.

She started to wonder about Siwoo Lee.

Burr-

Startle-

“Why is that?”

“no.”

Siwoo, who suddenly got goosebumps on his left arm, rubbed his arm and continued the conversation.

“How did the labor force integration go?”

“This area is complete.”

Indeed, it is a piece of wood capable of sealing the monster Lucas. It must have been difficult to control the ability.

Siu secretly called the system and put him in the volcanic wave.

[Target does not trust you.]

[The effect of members of the organization is greatly reduced.]

[Even if you become a member of the organization, there is a high probability that you will not follow the boss’s words.]

[Do you want to recruit as a volcanic faction? Yes/No]

tsk-

Are you sure you can’t eat me? I am biting my lip in regret, but I feel a strong gaze.

“teacher?”

Even as a boy, Andersen looks young, his gaze is hot.

Now that I’ve done your request, I’m sure that the promise of ‘liberation from monsters’ will show a significant change.

Siwoo took a glass bottle from his bosom and placed it on the table.

“This… .”

“Try it.”

“… … .”

Not easy to eat This is the second meeting today. You wouldn’t be able to drink it believing that a man who didn’t even know the purpose of integrating the manpower station into the veil gave it to you.

“It was made from the ligaments of a harpy, the heart of a death worm, the blood of a troll, and the sap of a sturgeon oak. It will calm the energy of the monsters.”

Tears come out when I think of the points that evaporated while buying them.

However, Andersen only fiddled with the glass bottle and did not drink it. Is it that you can’t believe the words that come out of the mouth of someone you don’t trust?

‘It can’t be helped.’

He will eat anyway. And knowing that what he said is true, he will come out more cooperatively.

Trust won’t come from person to person, but at least they’ll follow Siwoo’s words. That’s enough.

Anyway, Andersen only meets to delete the city destruction episode. It doesn’t matter if it’s trust or whatever.

“Next, go to Daehak-dong. I heard it’s a bit messy there. It will probably be easier to integrate.”

“… … I heard that an assailant wearing a cat mask ran amok. I’m using a sword… .”

“It has nothing to do with me?”

“yes… … .”

I changed my mask, how did you know? Next time, it was Siwoo who thought that he should just wear a mask and pounce on him.

“If we integrate Daehak-dong and the neighboring Samseong-dong and Namhyeon-dong, people will come.”

“… … I don’t know about Daehak-dong, but Samseong-dong and Namhyeon-dong have an alliance.”

“You can do it.”

Siu firmly said to Andersen, who hesitated. It can’t be because he’s sorry for beating up thugs, he must be a little scared.

because you are still young

However, it doesn’t matter.

i will help

“And you know very well that you don’t have to consolidate an entire wing. If you clean up the guy with the broadest shoulders in the building and the two people who are condescending next to him, the rest of the manpower station will bow its head on its own.”

“It is not easy.”

“Then, did you know that being free from monsters is easy?”

“… … .”

“You can do it.”

Should be. You can skip an episode.

I know it’s a bit unreasonable, but Siwoo plans to help secretly behind the scenes. I am already helping.

“… … All right. By the way, who is the person who will come to us if we integrate?”

“He is just a simple errand boy. I will give you an invitation, you can take it.”

The person who works behind the errand boy is quite a big man. However, the mogul did not need Andersen to know.

I have no intention of touching such a giant with this plan.

The purpose is invitation only.

It is an entry ticket to the underground auction.

The final goal of this plan is to assassinate the renegade who is the main culprit of the city’s destruction there.

“Then see you in a month.”

“yes.”

Suddenly, I was curious about Andersen’s age, but Siu didn’t bother to ask.

The academy has clubs.

Clubs for academic or training purposes are also popular with cadets because they can escape from the rigorous training and tight schedule for a while. Needless to say, there are cultural clubs such as art and tea ceremony.

Of course, the biggest advantage is that a meeting place is formed naturally. The colorful love-love quests that take place in the club arena were one of the factors that Desire users were enthusiastic about.

Siwoo didn’t know about other event quests, but he always did the club. Some clubs benefited just by joining. For example, just joining a travel club reduced the cost of using the portal.

The only downside of a club that seems to have only advantages is that it is ‘duty’.

Any club had to listen to one, but in the game, it was possible to ignore it, but it was all about receiving a penalty.

However, is reality still reality?

As a result of ignoring text messages that were ‘recommended’ to join the club every day since entering the school, I was ‘notified’ that if I did not join the club by today, I would be disciplined for violating school rules.

“f*ck.”

So Siwoo came to submit the club application now. There was only one club you could join, so there was no need to worry.

Club name ‘Just Like Movie’

After watching the movie, it is a club to discuss the movie in depth, such as the theme, shooting technique, and the acting ability of the actors.

Of course, Siwoo did not intend to promote with only his name on it, but he said that if he did not promote more than once a month, he would be cut without warning, so he had no choice but to cry and eat mustard.

And today is his first club activity.

“It’s been a while since the movie.”

It was annoying when I signed up, but I was a little excited at the thought of going to the cinema. Yes, it’s once a month anyway, so this amount of leisure is fine.

Arriving at the portal customs office, Siwoo found the club leader and approached. After exchanging awkward greetings with the club leader, I sat down a little away from the club members.

The club members were already building their own groups, and there was no room for Siwoo to intervene. I didn’t want to either.

It was then.

“uh?”

familiar voice.

“… … uh. hi.”

she greets awkwardly I haven’t said a word since the drunken ear biting incident until today, but our eyes met like this.

“Yes, bye.”

Siwoo, who lightly accepted her awkward greeting, fiddled with his smartphone. He didn’t do anything in particular, it was just a silent signal to stop talking to him.

“Okay, since everyone has gathered, let’s go.”

One after another, the cadets entered the portal. Siwoo asked as if he had suddenly remembered it before entering the portal.

“By the way, where are we going to the cinema?”

“It is the first point of CVV University. It is located in Gwanak, a commercial district. Did you hear?”

Have you ever heard of it, use it often?

Siwoo nodded coolly and entered the portal.

It hasn’t been a week since I asked to see you in a month.

Shall we meet Siwoo? I wanted to

A month given to Andersen is a long time, but it is not enough time to deal with the leading manpower station in Daehak-dong.

By now, they must be driving a bloody wind and waging a war in the shadows.

‘I hope I can meet you.’

I erase all of my sudden thoughts. The cinema is a building on the side of the main street. If he met Andersen, that would be a problem on its own.

It means that the matter has become big enough to run away to Yangji, but then the police have no choice but to intervene.

‘It can’t be.’

However, this is only a story of possibility.

We don’t fight every day, and we don’t fight all day. Andersen is not a talent to be easily pushed.

That’s how Siwoo went to Gwanak-gu again five days after meeting Andersen.
