Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 1

1. A Little Serious Story (1)

#1

It was the evening of the third day when the battle ended.

The rain still showed no signs of stopping. The raindrops hitting the skin were more like whips than water.

“Heh heh… heh heh…”

Ronan, who managed to catch his breath, raised his head. The quiet battlefield was filled with only the sound of rain.

As the field of view, which had been focused on one place, widened, a scene that seemed to have moved parts of hell unfolded before my eyes.

The wasteland stretching to the horizon took on a reddish color as a whole. It was the color of mud mixed with blood.

Scattered across the muddy ground were fragments of what once made up man. Bodies that had been blown up were floating in the puddles that had formed here and there.

Except for him, there was no moving entity to be seen. While I was scrubbing the blade with my collar, I heard a voice from behind.

【 strong. How can humans be so strong?]

It was heard clearly even in the heavy rain. It was a deep voice like a lava flowing cave. Ronan turned around with a disgusted look on his face.

“Are you not dead yet?”

[This is Ahayute’s obvious negligence.]

A huge human was spread out in front of him about five steps away. He was the culprit that created this horror. The giant called himself Ahayute.

Two pairs of wings hung from the back of the giant, who seemed to be a good 4m tall. It was similar in appearance to the existence of an angel that frequently appears in religious paintings.

Her hair was as soft as an egg, and her features were distinct. Dozens of deep, long cuts were engraved on his white, muscular body.

The blue blood flowing from the wound formed a puddle around the giant.

【Yes. Not yet.]

Ronan’s hand gripped the hilt was strained. All I wanted was to tear it into pieces, but I didn’t have the energy to do so.

That one vaporized ten legions of the Empire.

Every time the four wings flapped, a storm raged, and hundreds of people lost their lives with each swing of the spear made of light. The number of innocent lives lost before the decisive battle could not be counted.

[However, it was not too long ago. Ahayute has been defeated and will return to his arms soon.]

“Thank God. Step on dog poop on the way. With a fucking muddy one.”

Ronan sat on his shoulder and farted. Seeing that it still didn’t happen, it looked like he was seriously injured. Ronan, who was rummaging through his inner pockets, spat out a curse.

“에이 개새끼.”

비싼 돈을 주고 산 담뱃대는 완전히 박살이 나 있었다. 그는 부러진 담뱃대를 거인의 얼굴에 집어 던지고는 몸을 일으켰다.

“참 네 친구들도 뒈진 건 알고 있냐?”

【Friends?】

“Yes, the bastards who came down with you.” 【

Are

you referring to Nirvana and Duaru?】

Twenty days ago, three giants descended to the ground. The reason was unknown.

They traveled all over the continent, causing destruction to the extent that the map had to be redrawn. Ahayute was the last remaining giant.

“One was a nasty one. The dragon burned it, and the old enchantress named Lorhorn sealed it forever. I don’t know what you bastards are doing, but it’s all over now.”

Ronan wanted to see the giant’s expression distorted with despair,

so the red dragon Navardoze and her clan suffered damage equivalent to annihilation, or the archmage Lorhorn used his soul as a medium for the sealing spell. I didn’t bother to say the peripheral information, such as using it.

However, the answer that came back did not meet Ronan’s expectations.

【Fortunately.】

“What?”

【The fact that there are no more strong people like you. You can’t stop us now.】 Ronan

slowly drew his sword, and the flashing blade aimed at the giant’s uvula.

“…Did you know?”

【The children of the stars share their senses with each other.】

“Really… you’re a bastard I don’t like until the end. What do you mean when you say that there are no strong people?”

“I’m still there.

Ronan didn’t bother to add that. He was confident that if he actually fought this mass again, he would end it in one day. But Ahayute knew everything. 【The fact that you don’t have much time left

. I know.】

“Huh.”

[O strong man. Do not hide the truth with shallow deceit.]

The sword shook slightly, but Ronan didn’t show it. He thrust the tip of the sword into the giant’s neck. The

tough leather was torn and blue blood gushed out. Aha. Yute went on as if nothing had happened.

【It’s fortunate for us. You rotted your talents in the mud.

“Let’s talk about small talk. It’s boring.”

【You are a great human being. You can be proud of it. The story of the man who kicked off the sky and cut down the stars is indeed worthy of being told over tomorrow’s horizon. However】 he spat out like a wedge. 【Your world will eventually be buried in the

starlight

. It will disappear.]

Suddenly,

Ronan’s sword draws an arc.

****

“Answer me if you’re alive! Is there anyone else!”

Ronan rolled his hands and put them to his mouth and cried out. There was no answer.

Ahayute died without a single groan. The blue blood flowed like a river without soaking into the silt. Ronan urinated on the giant’s corpse, He left.

He started to roam the battlefield. He was looking for any survivors. Death was everywhere his eyes could see. It was quite a chore to walk around the mangled corpses. Ehh. Scanning the pale

faces

. Ronan gritted his teeth. Most of them were familiar faces. Comrades from the punitive unit with whom he had gone through life and death. Ronan muttered bitterly, “You foolish

bastards.”

The punitive unit was a special unit made up of criminals. The bottom of the army that obliges martyrdom. The extreme of a ragtag who doesn’t even have discipline properly. He knew why those who normally were moderately sloppy and ran away rushed to die for

such a monster. ”

Did you think you guys got stronger just because I was a bit strong? Huh?”

Ahayute was strong. Even the aura spears of the knights, who were said to be capable of shooting arrows that covered the sky, and even Schlieffen’s secret weapon, which was said to be the

No. No one, not even Ronan himself, could figure out why the punitive soldier’s sword, which couldn’t even feel mana, let alone use an aura, was eaten by a giant

. The general destroyed all the existing plans and reestablished a strategy centered on Ronan.

Suddenly, the punitive unit became the most important force covered by 10 legions. The idiots with wind in their lungs were trying to make their colleagues into heroes. They didn’t hesitate, they

ripped

and shattered to clear Ronan’s way, eventually proving the general’s judgment was right

. The hardened eyelids were tough and hard like the fabric of an old tree. How many times did you repeat that

?

Ronan suddenly felt a chilling feeling of dizziness rise up his temples.

Crunching.

Suddenly, the ground hit his cheek. His eyes went round as if he had been drunk. Ronan grumbled as he fell face down.

“Eh.”

My body didn’t move. I didn’t feel anything, even though the whip-like rain was hitting the face on the side that wasn’t stuck in the mud. Ahayute’s words as he talked about the remaining time lingered in my head. He knew it. The body after the fierce battle

. has already reached its limit for a long time.

This phenomenon was a kind of declaration made by the body that it will no longer live up to the bravado of a bastard like you

.

A cough came out of nowhere. It was a cough mixed with dark red blood. Ronan felt the stagnant sensations slowly return in the midst of extreme tension. The rider in the lead was in pain. “Ni…mi

… ..”

If I were to die, I wanted to die looking at the sky. Ronan turned over with all his might. The sky, as dark as a poopy diaper, appeared. Neither the moon nor the stars were visible. Through the roaring dark clouds, a blue thunderstorm appeared. Mann was flashing at

a glance.

Ronan closed his eyes, feeling like he was feeling better. Now he just wanted to die quickly. Thinking of dying made it seem like the days he had lived were floating in the dark. [It’s fortunate for us

. The bald man’s words flashed through my mind

again. It’s frustrating, but it was true.

Most of the memories flowing like a kaleidoscope are composed of scenes where people do stupid things or waste time like idiots. What was thrown away was Ronan himself, not anyone else

.

Talent itself was recognized quickly. Extraordinaryness is not something you can hide like poverty or cough.

My sister, the only family member, has repeatedly urged me to get a proper education. I raised him with love and care, saying that you can definitely become a great person.

Ronan said that’s what it is . I left home because I didn’t like it. It was annoying and burdensome.

After that, I wandered the continent like a wild dog for three years. Like most crimes, Ronan was taken to the punishment unit for not being able to hold back his anger at the moment. To be precise, he surrendered himself. The army was unexpected

. It was tolerable. Ronan had been sitting for seven years in a unit that would handle discharge if he survived three years. He

fed and housed him as long as he cut a knife, but there was no particular reason to go out. There were offers from all over the place, but he rejected them all.

As a result , It was like this.

The invasion of the giants took away everything. The idiots who had been together for seven years, the kind sisters, and the countries and villages they were indebted to during their wanderings returned to ashes. If they had properly learned the sword and devoted themselves to training, would the results have been different

? “Was it possible to protect it?

I don’t know.

It’s a meaningless worry.

Ronan relaxed with his eyes closed. He felt his soul slowly leave his body. Who said that death is nothing but a deep sleep?” .. It was a car that was

…

distracting

…

[Is anyone… is there…]

A human voice came out,

“Here!”

Ronan jumped up from his seat. Mud dripped from his back and back of his head. He concentrated all his nerves on his hearing and listened closely. He heard a voice again. […he was injured and couldn’t move

. . Is there anyone?]

“Oh god damn here I am! Here I am!!”

A woman’s voice. Judging from the fact that it resonated directly in my head, not in my ears, it was using telephonic magic

.

Ronan, who was barely able to navigate, ran out. His leg gave way and he threw himself into the mud several times, but he didn’t care. The only thing that mattered was that there were still survivors. […

here…]

The voice is getting fainter. “For whatever reason, it was obvious he was dying. Ronan sped up even more. The regret-tinged thoughts had long since flown away. Before long,

he reached a rock in front of him. Two slanted rocks pitched each other like a roof.” It was a structure that could avoid rain from below because they were facing each other

.

Every time he exhaled, blood dripped from his backflow. Ronan wiped his mouth with his sleeve and stepped into a crack in the rock. The owner of the voice was lying in it. “You are…” And looking at

her

face For a moment, Ronan had to swallow a sigh that rose to the bottom of his chin.

“General.”

It was a familiar face

.

The woman who lifted her head with difficulty opened her mouth. His voice was dry and cracked, but his former dignity had not diminished in the slightest.

Silky hair that was thicker than a fairly long hair and mud clung to it. In contrast to him, pale skin that was not white enough.

Ronan repeated the words that seemed possessed by something.

“General Adeshan.”

Despite seeing all the imperial idols, Ronan did not salute. She had no arms to receive the salute.
