chapter 26
26 – 4.5 Hell Instructor – Faberde (6) – Final Test, Farewell.
Twelve months have passed.
I am confident that that time was by no means a short moment.
Slicing rocks, killing wolves, and being brutally beaten by monsters.
Keep on training, training, training.
One day he lifted his sword to split a tree, and another day he lifted his staff and squeezed mana out of it.
Come to think of it, there was nothing but training.
In the meantime, I lost all my weight.
Faverde took a peek at my body and said as if he felt relieved.
“This will be over today.”
The shape of my body was gradually fading.
Like when Christina, her pet crocodile, attained enlightenment.
Because human souls weigh more than others.
It did not disappear easily.
As if saying that the time spent here was a lie, the shape of the body was gradually disappearing.
It seems it is time to return.
If there is a meeting, there will inevitably be a parting.
“This is the final exam. Trainee A.”
She didn’t care even when she saw me disappearing and cried out calmly.
It’s the last test, so what is the last test for [Hell Instructor]?
As soon as I felt something strange about the expressionless face of Faberde, a sword flew straight into her neck.
I instinctively pulled her neck aside.
“Crazy.”
She couldn’t even remember how she avoided it. I felt the heat in her throat, and when I touched it, her blood flowed out.
It’s this much power even though it just brushed against it.
The sword that grazed my neck returned to her grasp.
At this point, it is impossible not to know the contents of the last test.
“To beat you?”
“Beat me.”
To beat Faberde and master.
Her eyes met hers for a fleeting moment.
The eyes as a swordsman that haven’t been shown in the past year.
Holding the sword, Faber De takes her step forward.
I also move her right foot.
This is the last one.
“Be alert.”
In the blink of an eye, the tip of the sword bends.
Of course, a steel sword cannot be bent. It’s just that her speed is ridiculously fast.
Neck, knee, thigh.
A three-pronged sword attack is aiming at me.
‘Avoid attacks that can be avoided.’
It was a foolish act to fight back. I recalled her teachings and turned her body 180 degrees to dodge the attack.
The place where the sword passed was mercilessly broken.
You’re so crazy. Did you decide to immerse a person?
She raised her sword again and cut her distance. This time, she didn’t dodge and hit her back.
Kacan!
Swords cross each other with an eerie sound resounding.
At the same time, small wounds increase due to the curved blade.
There was no time to feel the pain.
If you encounter a beast, you must attack it without a break!
“Trainee A is still immature. He can’t use either swords or magic perfectly.”
“……”
“No idiot would die from a sword attack like that.”
Faverde dodged all my attacks as if he was laughing.
However, there are still cards she believes in.
A huge pillar of fire appeared behind her before she knew it.
And in front of her was my sword.
She was still expressionless.
“Your chanting speed has improved considerably.”
“Noisy.”
If you’re going to give a compliment, give it a shot. Faberde blocked her sword with her boot and at the same time slashed her pillar of fire with her sword.
I swallowed my saliva at the movement close to that skill.
A sword flying towards the neck again.
I managed to twist my torso and get hit with my shoulder.
I caught a lot of bosses in [Pro Seven], But these bosses are ridiculous.
It’s Belbung. There are even hundreds of patterns.
As blood flowed down her shoulder, Faber De opened her mouth.
“The continent is overflowing with countless strong people. When you encounter an enemy you can’t handle, do you want to die as pitifully as you do now?”
“No.”
“Then struggle. It’s okay to be cowardly. Sometimes it’s okay to throw away your convictions. So… Beat me here and go!”
Her sword skills increased to five.
I managed to block her sword skill.
Even after that, her sword skills could not be completely stopped.
Ten wounds caused by the sword passed through.
“It’s still only this far…”
On the other hand, Faberde was unscathed by all my attacks with magic and sword.
She just stands tall and holds her sword.
She spoke again.
“It’s only been 12 months. Did you think something would have changed? Trainee A is weak. Too weak.”
I couldn’t overcome my dizziness and eventually collapsed unsightly.
This really makes no sense. How to beat this
Faberde walked slowly to my side, brushing her hair.
“Stand up, trainee A.”
“…Faverde.”
“I don’t remember having such a weak person as my disciple.”
Even though her pupil was bleeding like this, she said indifferently.
But that wasn’t the point.
That it came to me.
Looking back at her, I’ve been trying to attack her by connecting with her magic behind her.
I did it dozens of times before it ended up like this.
She actually cares about her rear.
I opened my ‘eyes’.
As if preparing for the final special move, he pierced her and stretched out her arms while glaring at her from behind.
It’s a linkage pattern with magic behind the scenes that has been done dozens of times so far.
Suddenly, her gaze turned back.
“[Ghost Communion].”
“Is it the same pattern?”
Far Verde’s sword cut her back.
It just cut through the air.
“What?”
Of course, there was no offensive magic, or even a faint handful of magical power.
I attacked her sword without missing the chance.
At the same time, the sword ricocheted from her hand and hit the ground.
She thrust her sword at her, losing her weapon in an instant.
“…You didn’t use magic on the rear from the beginning.”
The sword grazed her fingertips.
A few drops of red blood fell from her hand.
“After repeating the chain attack dozens of times to get me used to it, I pretended to use chain magic in the rear as a final struggle.”
“Whoa… Whoa…”
“The reason I insisted on shouting [Ghost communion] Was because I lacked information about it, so I thought it was natural for an attack to come from behind.”
“…Noisy…”
“Either sticking to the back magic from the beginning, or falling down unsightly, if it’s all a strategy aimed at this moment.”
Faverde said.
“Trainee A’s victory.”
I was sprawled on the floor.
“Ha…Ha…Heh…”
I barely exhaled and regained my breath.
It was unsightly, but it gave the war hero a shot. That fact excited me.
Apart from the joy, the shape of the body is gradually becoming paler.
Is it time to go back?
Whether she knew my feelings or not, she stared at me expressionlessly.
Today’s Faberde was calmer than usual.
She wasn’t supposed to lie down like this, I ran with her on her back, dripping her blood.
It seems that Far Verde’s expression changed for a moment, but she couldn’t help it because it was a very urgent matter.
After packing her things, I came back to find Faberde sitting on the ground.
Her despondent-looking expression was unsatisfying.
“…Where did she go?”
“I have some urgent business.”
“Now that the test is over, go back to the original world quickly. No need to say goodbye.”
“…What will I be doing when I go?”
“From the beginning, I lived well without you. Don’t be presumptuous.”
Faverde said nervously.
Yes. Smoke can’t get dirty once.
I held out her free stuff to her.
There’s some blood on it, but it’ll be fine.
Because if it’s not now, there won’t be time to give it to you.
“This.”
“……This.”
When she saw the crude wooden statue covered in blood, her expression turned strange.
That statue was modeled after Faberde and me.
“I tried to make it on my own, but it didn’t work out.”
“…..”
“You can throw it away if you don’t need it. Even I think it’s ugly.”
As she said that, as she tried to retrieve her statue, she snatched it like lightning.
She continued to look at her statue, then bowed her head.
“……I don’t deserve this.”
She bit her lip.
“Stupid… Weak, hurtful… Afraid…”
Her expression gradually changed when she received the statue.
From a blank expression to a complicated expression, from a complicated expression to a crying expression.
Finally, Faberde grabbed my sleeve. Like you’ll never let go
The rain fell on the parched land before I knew it.
I hugged such a stupid teacher tightly. Because it was the disciple’s job to take care of the master.
Within a small whisper.
“You’ll miss it. Always.”
At those words, her body trembled.
I closed my eyes for a moment and thought of the days I spent with Faberde.
The image of a teacher playing a board game together for the first time.
After she told the story of the third-rate romance, she was indignant as if it was something she had experienced.
She pretended not to be at a surprise birthday party, but the appearance of Far Verde, who was terribly excited and cleared her throat.
Faverde gripped my sleeve tightly.
As her body gradually disappeared, the strength of her grip also increased.
“Master.”
I hugged her tightly.
Faberde also flinched for a moment, and then she carefully accepted the student.
She struggled to open her mouth.
“Dyers.”
I was a bit taken aback when my name was called for the first time.
Because ‘Trainee A’ thought she was drawing a line in her own way.
The shape of the body gradually faded and became almost transparent.
“Dyers. Dyers, Dyers.”
Faberde buried her face in my chest as she stretched out and shouted her name.
But I couldn’t stop her body from disappearing.
Last minute. She said with a determined expression.
“Dyers. I-“
I just opened my eyes.
It was an unfamiliar ceiling.
