I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman

Episode 33. ???’s hand (4)

Episode 33

One

Siu, who couldn’t bear to bring Andersen to the academy, bought 5 low-grade potions, a location tracker, and a transmitter, and put them in his hands.

With the words that if something happens, press it.

The boy, or rather, the child, held up an armful of potions and nodded shyly. To roll a child so small that his chest was full with 5 potions… . Siwoo felt guilty all over again.

However, suddenly food to safety. When the attitude of the person who was even creepy at the first meeting suddenly changed, Andersen sent a suspicious look.

‘Oh, please don’t look at me like that.’

Siwoo trimmed his neck as much as he could and told him that he would be in trouble if he died because he was the kind of person who would make a face. In fact, the reason was correct, but the effect of guilt after knowing his age was greater.

Siwoo even bought a warm coat with a penguin on his glasses – Andersen frowned, but didn’t see it – and then took the portal and returned to the academy.

“You were five years old.”

The most shocking part of the day was actually his age. If I had known her age, I wouldn’t have told her to clean up the Daehak-dong alone.

“Aren’t you too precocious?”

It is also an unavoidable part. I would have thought they were the same age if I had had a conversation with that judgment, language skills, composure and honesty blindly.

“Ugh.”

anyway. Today’s incident must have raised the level of alert in the back alleys of Daehak-dong. However, it is not possible to wait leisurely until the alert level drops.

Shouldn’t we sooner or later grab a blade and wipe out Daehak-dong and its surroundings with Andersen? First of all, the exam is right around the corner, so we have to put out the fire first… .

“Oops, I’m going to be late.”

Shiu checked the time and hurried. The supervisor is especially strict with him, so he cannot be late for even a minute.

Since I froze the dorm room once before going to the monster front, I seem to have completely hated it.

Fortunately, Siwoo arrived at the dorm in time and went back to his room. The headmaster gave me a look that I didn’t like, so I didn’t avoid it and confronted him.

So what. What you looking at.

I took off my black suit and took a shower.

And after almost three months, I picked up a razor.

After rubbing the shaving foam into bubbles, spread it on the chin and started shaving the beard.

square, square.

square, square.

I washed my razor more than five times along the way. His beard, which had been with him for most of his life in this world, was sucked into the hole in the sink.

I wiped my face with a towel and looked in the mirror.

“who are you?”

surely.

The beard does have a big impact on the impression. became pure at once. Siwoo, who wanted to cut his hair as well, shook his head.

I don’t even have the confidence to cut my hair well, and to be honest, when I cut my hair, I look easygoing.

He lay down on the bed, fiddling with his chin.

[＜(Event) Arirang Chigi is one of the spy conditions＞ has been cleared.]

[Reward: 1,000P will be paid.]

[Remaining points: 3,470P]

Originally, it should have exceeded 4,000P, but… . There were quite a few expenses to buy potions and scrolls.

Anyway, it’s a benefit. The original goal was to save Andersen.

“Should I say Ahn So-yul?”

Ahn So-yul is Andersen’s real name. I bought a lot of things and asked right before we parted ways, and he answered meekly.

Giving out your real name means that you trust it. It seemed that he had become obedient after releasing his energy from the rooftop.

And Siwoo, who thought that the timing was right, quickly enrolled him in the Volcano Squad.

“system.”

[Current status of volcanic wave organization]

＜Boss＞ : Siwoo Lee

＜Right Arm＞ : –

＜Left Arm＞ : –

＜Assault Captain＞: Ahn So-yul

＜Action Commander＞ : Kim Woo-jin

＜Organization Member (5/10)＞ : Hwang Dong-soo, Park Young-cheol, Woo Young-jin, Gil Jong-seok, Lee Yeo-ram

assault commander. It fit really well.

Even though it was absurd to say that if you don’t have a home, you can just be homeless, I honestly liked it. At such a young age, he was equipped with the mindset of a man who uses the sky as his blanket, the earth as his seat, and the mountains as his pillow… … .

Siwoo was convinced that the reason why he broke the seal by attacking the gangsters with blood and blood alone was because he had such a motherf*cker in his heart.

Then all of a sudden

My heart felt heavy.

-Why why… .

– Poems, mistakes. mistake… … .

The voices of the dead linger in my ears.

“under… .”

During the day, things on the roof occasionally came to mind. The eyes of Lee Dal-pyo who glared at him are still good in his eyes. I could try to ignore it when I was outside, but it was hard to do that when I was alone in my room.

– Does it matter?

The voice of his dying man also lingered in his ears.

The two voices blended together as if they were roaring and spreading, and became no one else’s voice.

– Does it matter?

voice for the first time. Who would be the owner of that voice, who said that?

Will he one day fall on the floor and see the face of the person who said that?

A poster came to mind.

A horizontal poster, a man aiming a long-barreled pistol. The poster was wrapped around a lamppost, and the gun ended up being pointed at the man.

If you build up the slaughter, it will eventually come back to you.

Four idioms like Manryu Gwijong (萬流歸宗) and Jongdu Deukdu (種豆得豆) stir in my head.

I didn’t even intend to kill him, but I did. Complex emotions and thoughts that I had been trying to ignore came flooding in.

“f*ck.”

However, such agony strangely did not last long.

The erasure of abnormal emotions and a calm mind.

“It must be the influence of innocence.”

Siu let out a big sigh.

“What have you been running amok about?”

Nearly 100 people had their hands and ankles cut off, and many had their sides cut off or their limbs cut off, causing them to bleed to the brink of death.

The timing of agony was too late for the subject who lived a normal life even after inflicting such injuries.

“If you die, you die.”

By saying that, Siwoo brushed off his deep emotions. How many people will you kill in the future?

After a while, even when the renegades attack the academy, if you don’t want to kill one person and go through the agony, you have to be aloof from death.

Siwoo’s voice echoes through the empty room.

“You have to be detached.”

“It’s detached. have to lose do.”

“First performance———”

“Ac.”

Still, the awkwardness of the first murder was not easily shaken off. Even when innocence subdued emotions, emotions like a swamp climbed up.

He jumped out of bed, went to the veranda, and took out a cigarette.

Sew-

Whoa-

“If I hadn’t been innocence, I would have been banging my head against the wall.”

Guilt and self-loathing.

He feels more than ever that his mentality has yet to break free from that of modern people.

“Patience.”

Feeling that he couldn’t resolve his emotional fluctuations, Siwoo decided to leave it as it is. Emotions that come and go like waves.

In the ups and downs, he tried to balance himself.

woo woo-

Siu blows smoke and looks down at the academy grounds. It was necessary to enter after a bit of cold wind.

Then, I suddenly saw ‘!’ at the bottom of my field of view.

Appearance with unacknowledged messages.

Siwoo called the system without much thought. In fact, it is so disturbing that there is no room for other thoughts to intervene.

I thought so.

Siwoo checked the unconfirmed message

[＜Breath of the Thunder King＞ grows.]

[The strength of the hemp water Lightning Star King 1% → 14.9%]

Took-

I dropped the cigarette I was holding.

“… … what?”

The momentum of the King of Thunder King has grown. The moment I saw the message, my heart thumped – a shock as if it had landed. An intense sense of discomfort surrounds the whole body.

“how… ?”

It rose by more than 13% with just one use. I was speechless at that rise.

It is not unheard of to have this kind of abnormal growth rate.

If the level of the skill itself is low, you can become great with just a few uses. However, the momentum of the cannabis was incomparable to lower-level skills.

Maybe it’s just momentum? Doesn’t it affect actual force? The very skill with no real powers caused six men to commit suicide during the day.

The other case is when the fit between the skill and the user is high. If Yohan Kim, who has the protection of the sword, or Yu Jimin, who has the blood of the swordsman, uses the swordsmanship skill, the proficiency is accumulated much faster.

However, in order to have a high level of fitness with the unique skill of a single individual, there is no other way than ‘direct blood relative’ like ‘The King of Thunder King’s momentum’.

So it didn’t make any more sense.

“What.”

Even if the Minotaur, the original owner who extracted the skill, would not be able to achieve this growth rate. It’s because they’re a race that has deteriorated from monsters to monsters over one generation.

At least 100 years ago, if the first generation from the blood of the King of Lightning was used, this growth rate could be ‘possible’.

Even that is not certain. They grew like fungus in the blood of the King of Thunderbolt, which contained enormous life energy, so it would be ambiguous to call them direct blood relatives.

Wouldn’t it be better if the Thunder King used the skill himself?

However, Siwoo is a human being.

“I am a person.”

An intelligent entity that opposes monsters and monsters. I only got it through the tears of my doppelganger, and of course it has nothing to do with the King of Thunderbolts.

The growth in proficiency made no sense, I couldn’t understand why.

Mouth is stuffy My saliva dried up at the anxiety and discomfort that came from the unknown phenomenon.

“… what.”

However, that was not the only thing that made Siwoo frustrated.

A sense of incongruity and a sense of uneasiness as if I was missing something grew all over my body. In fact, this was bigger than the anxiety about the unknown phenomenon.

Siwoo’s nerves were more on the awkward side than the incomprehensible skill level.

He continued to think about it, and Siwoo’s unconsciousness found the cause of this strange feeling in his memory.

Forgotten memories and short moments that we did not even pay attention to rise to the surface of our consciousness, and we realize the cause of discomfort and discomfort.

At that moment, Siwoo stiffened as if he had been struck by thunder.

Unusual proficiency.

discomfort.

Both reasons were the same.

And the reason why I was able to obtain the ‘Force of the Lightning King’ as a skill, which would have been consumed for a one-time use, is also the same.

“… … under.”

Two scenes and two messages that rise above consciousness.

One is the message I saw while killing the Blur that appeared out of nowhere and absorbing Topaz when I had just fallen into this world.

[You can use ‘Surface Confidence’ of Blur.]

The other is a message that I saw while using the breath of the King of Thunder with the tears of my doppelganger, less than a month old.

[???’s hand remembers the breath of the Thunder King.]

Two sentences meaning that you have acquired a skill.

The subtle difference in tone is particularly striking.

Siwoo looked back at his right arm.

a few days later

The test has begun. A five-day exam, Monday through Friday. Whether it was written or practical, Siu was the first to get out of the test room.

Until the end of the 4th day of the exam, no one has come out faster than him.

The actual performance seemed to be perfect, and the handwriting was scribbled as much as possible. Fortunately, I was able to take a picture because the objective type and the subjective type were mixed.

Of course, he didn’t care too much about grades because he only avoided failing.

[Quest3-1. Find the renegade who is infiltrating the academy.]

▶Time limit: 00:06:14

▶Reward

-Lucky Dice x1

▶Penalty

-X

[Quest3-2. Stop the renegades from attacking the academy.]

▶Time limit: 24:06:14

▶Reward

-Lucky Dice x2

▶Penalty

-Summon demon incarnation

The 3-1 quest time limit ends at midnight today, but Siu has no intention of catching Prakchi.

If you look at it in the first place, you can see that it is a trap quest.

If you deal with the infiltrating defector, your feet will be tied up one way or another. If you don’t leave evidence, conversely, you will only be charged with murder and dragged to aggro.

The infiltrating renegade will be dealt with tomorrow along with the intruders.

smart-

“This is Siwoo Lee.”

“come in.”

When Siwoo knocks on the door, a voice is heard through the door.

He came to Kang-min’s office now.

I have to consult with the instructor in charge once a semester, but today was Siwoo’s turn.

As Siwoo sat down, Kangmin held out a document. I wondered if it was a counseling sheet or something, but it wasn’t.

Looking at Kangmin, he opened his mouth.

I didn’t know it when I came in, but the gaze was quite intense.

＜＜Cheonilmun Introductory Agreement＞＞

“Siwoo Lee, what do you think of Cheonilmun Gate?”

“hmm… .”

After choosing what to say appropriately, I answered.

“I think it’s a munpa that reveres the sword. Geomju, Joak is one of Korea’s heroes. As the North Star of Korea, Cheonilmun carries out the noble mission of protecting Korea.”

“It’s a great and right idea. If so—”

“It’s pretty sad to find out recently that trash comes out of that great munpa.”

“… … that. It’s an individual matter. The people of Cheonilmun are upright—”

“Yes. The sword of Cheonilmun is straight. Direct sword and moral principles are the foundation of Cheonilmun. It is a leap and sophistry to bring individual problems to the organizational level.”

“… right. Thank you for thinking so.”

“However, I have a bit of a long back end. I appreciate the offer, but I will decline it.”

“… … huh?”

Siwoo suddenly broke the steering wheel of the conversation. Then he got up from his seat, nodded, and headed for the door.

“Now, wait a minute.”

Kang-min, who reacted belatedly, grabbed him and forcibly handed over the documents.

“I just have it. only with it.”

It was a face that seemed like he wouldn’t let go. Siwoo obediently received the documents and came out. Leaning against the door, I sneakily pulled out the contract.

From the down payment to the training conditions and the sword techniques to be passed on to the elixir.

Nothing is missing

“You were pretty overworked.”

It won’t go anywhere, but there’s no need to throw it away.

The only reason I rejected Kang-min’s offer was because I thought there would be a lot of restrictions on my behavior once I belonged. That’s what I said, but I don’t have any antipathy towards Cheonilmun itself.

After a rough check, Siwoo put in the documents and moved on, and the moment he was about to leave the building, someone blocked his way.

In fact, I already knew because I was caught in a sign.

“Can I talk to you for a minute?”

It was Yoo Ji-min.
