chapter 39
Chapter 39 Admission Test (16).
I’m curious. The strongest blow of a Sword Saint disciple?
It’s possible to block it because it’s Baltic that even Solfin’s breath has overcome, but I’m curious about what I’m curious about.
And a technology that can be leaked?
I don’t know if it’s someone else, but it’s true that it’s a swordsman’s skill, so I’m interested.
It is said that he abstains, but in fact, this is not much different from the special move fight he had with Solfin earlier.
However, Irene becomes a spear and Balt becomes a shield and competes for supremacy.
Bald, having made a decision, proposes to Irene.
“I can’t do it with 1:1 alignment.”
Balt doesn’t even know how to exercise, but since Victor and Robin are there, it’s going to work out somehow.
Teaching exercise to swordsman’s apprentice? Robin may not know it, but Victor will definitely like it.
If Balt can’t teach you how to train a human first, ask him to come and you’ll be able to overcome it.
It’s not much different from trying to cheat, but that should be enough for Irene.
“Okay. That’s enough! There’s no way I can beat you if you block this anyway.”
Now Balt is getting a little more interesting.
“Whoops, I’m looking forward to that. Alright! Come!”
[The strongest sword! Irene! Strongest body! Balt! A sword that can cut anything and a body that can block anything collide! It’s a finale that almost ended unfortunately, but there’s a big highlight!!]
Irene draws her sword and braces herself.
Seureung-
Waldo? She can’t afford to use such superficial techniques from Irene right now.
However, Balt feels regret when Irene draws the sword first.
‘That’s not a nice drawing. It’s a little regretful.’
Irene grabbed her sword in her reverse hand and drew it behind her, twisting her body.
Then Balt feels good again.
‘Inverse! That’s cool! Nice!’
Zuzuzuzuzuzu-
The 7th floor Aura begin to gather around Irene.
“Even if I’m not at my usual skills right now, if I’m not careful and can’t stop it, my body will be cut in half.”
This is Balt laughing at Irene’s threat.
“Now that’s the look you get when splitting a golem! Let’s take a look! Magical combat 1 form betting pack!”
It is a type of gauntlet that concentrates on the hands rather than magic gloves that surround the whole body, so it consumes less mana and is not lacking in durability.
Sug-
Irene’s body leans back further and a low voice is heard.
“Then let’s go. The Lusutian pleasure sword, the 6th fifth…”
At that moment, Irene’s body flashed and moved.
“Slicing Mount Tai!!”
The strongest technique that Irene can use right now with Balt like a mountain.
Chuhuaaak!!
A huge sword made of 7 layers of Aura Threads sortie to Balt.
“Mmm! Nice! What a great attack!!”
Swordsmanship that literally cuts through mountains.
Balt sensed that he couldn’t stop just by defending.
Since gnomes use it for betting, they can’t use wheel stone shields.
“If you can’t block it, I’ll break it!!”
Aura are also inanimate.
As expected, Balt began to run while gathering magic in his right arm.
Now Balt’s swollen arms have become a trademark!
Boo-wook!
The huge Balt’s arm fell down on Irene’s sword.
“Unique Magic! Anti-aura Smash!”
Slightly different, but similar to the anti-magic slab.
It’s perfect for dealing with sharp Aura.
Tooquaang!
Irene’s sword skills are offset by Balt’s punching, and she disappears without a trace.
[Ah! Also! That kind of attack won’t work against Balt who survived Solfin’s breath! Baltic player blocks it with ease!!]
After confirming that, Irene smiles bitterly.
“I did it by chance, but… I lost.”
Irene’s declaration of defeat.
It was the moment when the winner of the tournament was revealed.
[Final match of the Groo Obint Academy Freshman Tournament!! After defeating all the strong candidates for the championship, Bald Geryuntu, who advanced to the finals, wins the championship!!!]
“Wowaaa!!!”
Diring!
A system notification in Balt’s ears at that moment.
The Growent Academy tournament, where the best players of all time gathered, has now, at this moment, ended with Balt’s victory.
***
The 3rd and 4th place matches remain, but Solfin withdraws because it is annoying.
He added that he was not interested in anything other than the Baltic.
As soon as the final rankings are decided, the moderator’s voice is heard.
[After a while!! There will be an awards ceremony for His Majesty the Emperor!!]
Up to 3rd place at the award ceremony.
In the waiting room, Irene, Seilun, and Balt were waiting again.
Sayrun talks to Irene.
“I’m shocked. Is that the only reason you were shaken? The prosecutor asked me to exercise? What kind of nonsense is this?”
Irene’s attitude can’t help but look stupid to Seilun, who has never neglected her physical training since she started training her sword.
Irene’s face turns red at Seilun’s reprimand.
“I am moving to Nam.”
But to be honest, Seilun is even amazed at Irene.
“Are you sure you’re a genius? Your momentum has sharpened again. Next time, the sound of me winning will be overshadowed.”
Seirun grew up listening to the sounds of genius as well as Irene, but compared to Irene, Seirun is nothing more than an ordinary person.
Bald is busy checking system rewards right now.
【Quest complete!】
Congratulations on winning! Additional rewards will be given to you who win the tournament with great performance.
1 Random attribute, 15 stat points, gift from the emperor.
It’s a huge reward.
The characteristics are frankly unsettling, but there are cases where they are great.
Like physical magic now.
【Analyze user’s play patterns for attribute payment.
Analysis complete!
Acquire Traits!
‘A friend of a strong spirit.’
Description: In fact, your race is closer to the earth than anyone else! The Earth Spirits, now aware of the fact, look happy to know! Having more friends is a good thing! The spirits of the earth, the source of earth magic, have come to like your kind. (Attribute holder limited effect: Physical power is quickly converted to spirit power.)]
Until now, much of Baltic magic relied on gnomes.
Without the gnomes, Solfin’s breath wouldn’t have survived.
The only inconvenience was that physical power was converted to magic power, and then magic power was converted to spirit power.
It’s only a few seconds difference, but it’s natural that life and death go back and forth with that few seconds difference in a real battle, not a confrontation.
However, with the current feature distribution, that worry has disappeared.
Besides, looking at the explanation, the earth spirit came to think of the barbarian as another friend.
This means that besides Bild, other Geruntu may be able to summon spirits.
In other words, should I say it’s a trait payment that affects the entire race? That is a huge reward.
Of course, securing magical power is the first priority for the first spirit contract, but it can’t help but be encouraging.
Each tribe has different preferred spirits.
Although elemental spirits themselves are rare, there are at least one or two elemental spirits in every race except barbarians.
Humans prefer fire spirits or lightning spirits with strong destructive power.
Elves are naturally friendly with spirits, but even elves have their preferred spirits.
Those are tree spirits and water spirits. Spirit of the wind,
Fire spirits that burn everything are not suitable for elves, and heavy earth spirits are not very suitable for agile elves.
And what the dwarves are interested in is metal, not the earth itself.
Sometimes there are dwarves who summon the earth spirit, but even dwarves value aura-oriented combat methods rather than magical powers, so it’s hard to find someone who handles the spirits.
Since the Dragons have their own attributes, they don’t really need spirits, and the Beasts are also full of Aura-oriented warriors.
So, while the spirit itself is rare, the earth spirit is even more rare.
Not because he was weak, but because it was a matter of preference.
But thanks to Balt, the earth spirits now realize that they have friends in the human world.
Barbarian.
This tribe that roams the earth will later become the best friend of the earth spirit.
Irene’s voice can be heard while Balt is admiring his amazing characteristics.
“Let’s go, Balt. It’s the awards ceremony.”
“Hmm.”
***
[Seilun Kaldrian in 3rd place! 500 Gold coins will be given!]
“I was impressed Seirun. He is indeed Lord Licht’s son. The fighting spirit you showed. You must have become a role model for many people.”
Seilun, on his one knee, thanks the emperor.
“Your Majesty, I will work harder.”
[Runner-up Irene Silveron! You will receive 1,000 gold coins and the famous sword Drysian as a reward.]
“I wondered if he was in a state of mind, but he doesn’t seem to be worried. The 8th floor is not easy. To be more diligent.”
“Come to Hwang Gong Ha. Your majesty.”
[Winner! Baltic Geryntu! 2,000 Gold coins and lupenium, the metal of the gods, will be awarded as prizes!]
Rupenium, the god’s metal that money can’t buy.
That was the prize given to the winner of the tournament.
“Congratulations. Kwan’s son. Is there a weapon or armor you want to make? If there is, you can make it at the Imperial Blacksmith.”
Unconventional treatment! It not only pays luphenium, but also takes care of its production.
Because it is impossible to handle lupenium unless you are a master craftsman.
“Thank you. Your majesty.”
“hahahaha, I don’t know if this will give Geryuktu wings. It will be worth using.”
It’s not invincible, but it’s a luphenium that’s quite difficult to break even with an aura blade.
Balt’s father, Kwan, also couldn’t use an aura, so he managed to get a weapon made of lupenium.
Because the savage tribe can deal with strong people of the 8th floor or higher only when it is about Lupenium.
The lupenium Balt received was so rare that it was only enough to make a sword.
But there was something else that Balt wanted to make.
After the awards ceremony, the three-day short but impressive tournament finally came to an end.
For some, it may remain as a memory that will last a lifetime, and for others, it may remain as a past that they want to erase.
It couldn’t have been a better start for Balt.
The tournament is over, but the festivities continue for the remaining two weekends.
Balt and his party rested for a day to have an after party, and the next day they went out to the festival streets of the ecliptic.
Lisa jumps and whispers to Balt.
“So, why are they following me here?”
