Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 120

[ 120. Hill of the Four Seasons (1) ]

#120

After finishing their business, Ronan and Schlieffen returned to the Islands. It took a lot longer than before to reach Dainhar because he rode a normal horse instead of a ghost horse.

It had already been five days since he had spent all his time on the horse except for sleeping and eating. It wouldn’t be strange if mushrooms grew on his buttocks. Ronan, in a fit of temper, stabbed Sheeta who was sleeping in her backpack.

“Honey, you too, get off now and go.”

“Pun!”

The slaughtered Sheeta tucked her head into her backpack. Judging by the young attitude, it seemed that the heat was hot.

Even after leaving the desert, the heat in the south did not cool down. The dry landscape of short grass and wasteland continued. Ronan’s gaze, which was gradually becoming liquid, reached Schlieffen.

“What kind of steel is the aristocrat’s crotch made of? Aren’t you sick?”

“There is no problem at this level.”

He still maintained an upright posture. Although he looked tired, the dignity unique to the great nobility was not worn out in the slightest. Ronan shook his head as if he was fed up.

“I envy you. When I was a soldier, I used to ride a lot.”

“I’m just worried that Miss Irill’s portrait will be damaged. speed up.”

“Crazy bastard.”

Schlieffen took Iril’s picture out of his shirt pocket every ten minutes and looked at it. Ronan, unable to see the sight, pulled the reins.

It was the moment when the horse that jumped out like a shot passed Schlieffen. fault! Ronan reached out like lightning and grabbed Iril’s picture he was looking at.

“This bastard! What are you doing!”

“Hahahaha, originally, precious things disappear like the wind!”

“Stop! I won’t let you go if the painting gets damaged!”

Ronan rushed forward as if it were the imperial cavalry. A contemplative Schlieffen chased after Ronan. Suddenly, the sword in his hand was changing into the shape of the wind.

“Byeung.”

Sheeta, awoken by the commotion, tossed and turned in annoyance. A haze in full bloom over the stream heralded late summer. They arrived on the island on the fifteenth day of their journey.

****

Returning to the Islands, the first place Ronan tried to visit was Secret’s office, Separaccio. In the first place, the reason why I went to a foreign place like Dainhar was to receive a blessing from him. Hearing the unbelievable answer, Ronan widened his eyes and said.

“What are you on vacation?”

Since Jarodin was not in the office, he had to ask other students or faculty to find Ceparachio. Asher, who had been called out from reading a book at home, said hesitantly.

“Yeah…well, it’s vacation.”

“Damn, where did the person who lives with five curses suddenly go?”

“I think you said you were going to Boo North. You said you discovered a new curse. He said he’d probably come just in time for the first day of school…”

“Eight, I’m out of luck.”

Ronan let out a deep sigh. This was an unexpected variable. I was going to get rid of Haeju as soon as possible during summer vacation, but it seemed like I had to re-plan. Suddenly, his gaze reached the house built behind Asher.

“Did you move well?”

“Yes. Thanks to.”

Asher nodded. The new place he and his parents moved into was none other than the house next door to Ronan. There was no place like this when safety and convenience were considered first.

The move was made while Ronan and Schlieffen were on their way back from Dainhar. Members including Marya and Braum added their strength. Ronan, who was scratching his head as if he had no face, continued.

“What thanks? I couldn’t help anything… So Marja is in the island right now?”

“huh.”

“That’s good. take it.”

“Huh?!”

Suddenly, Ronan put his hand in Asher’s pocket. Asher, startled, screamed. Ronan removed his hands from his pockets and turned his back.

“Give my regards to your parents. I go.”

“Roronan. what’s this?”

Even though Ronan’s hand came out, he felt a thick foreign body in his pocket. Asher checked the items in his pockets only after Ronan left.

“This…!”

Asher, who was white, tried to say something, but Ronan had already disappeared from sight. Upon hearing the news from Asher, Ronan headed straight to the market.

“There is nothing wrong with having a lot of money. cancer.”

The purpose was to raise money with the loot taken from Dainhar. The fact that Marja was there meant that the Caravel Merchants were staying, so at least there was no need to worry about being hit on the price.

“Come on, ice! A full stone ice that was just frozen by the 8th Circle Ice Mage!”

“I will show you something! Five parasols and one silver coin!”

Despite the melting heat, the raucousness typical of the market showed no signs of abating. It was a landscape that contrasted with the wasteland I had seen for almost a month. While Ronan was in the middle of searching for the top, a familiar woman caught his eye.

“Eh?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. At first I thought I saw it wrong. It was a relaxed outfit that couldn’t be reminiscent of his usual appearance, but he was recognizable thanks to his unique bronzed skin and assertive body.

The woman was eating ice cream sandwiched in bread in front of a street vendor. The merchant, seeing her take away all the bread, opened his mouth with his hands together.

“That swordsman…does your mouth fit?”

“It is the former swordsman. One more please.”

The merchant’s face brightened. The woman who paid the coin accepted the new ice cream. Ronan, who came closer, waved his hand happily.

“Instructor Butterfly Rose!”

“Ronan? It’s easy.”

“I almost didn’t recognize it. You dress very freely.”

Butterfly Rose was wearing a white sleeveless blouse and black wide pants. Her exposed shoulders were attracting the attention of passers-by. Truly avant-garde, it was an outfit that might not be recognized after two centuries or so.

“What does it matter? I just needed to be comfortable.”

“That’s right. I like that aspect of the instructor.”

“I was just looking for it, and it worked. Come here.”

“yes?”

After taking a bite of ice cream, Nabi Rose gestured to Ronan. It was the moment he approached with a tilt of his head. Knock! Butterfly Rose’s hand, which flew like a snake seeking prey, grabbed Ronan’s ear and twisted it.

“Gyaaaagh! Why are you doing this?!”

“Why? Do you think it makes sense not to say hello to your teacher before vacation?”

“You must have heard from senior Adeshan Adeshan!”

“Words have meaning only when they are spoken. A shameful thing.”

Ronan screamed for the mayor to leave. Judging by the power of twisting my ears, it seemed that I was really sad. Whether people were paying attention or not, she didn’t care.

“If you want to atone, go to the Gallerion Hall right now. Adeshan is working hard on training every day to show it to you.”

“What is it, senpai has returned already?”

“okay. I’ll be waiting for you to come, so be nice to me. Got it?”

“all right. Damn, I’m going, so let go now!”

Ronan nodded quickly. Finally, Nabi Rose relaxed his hands. While wiping the ice cream that fell on her chest, she opened her mouth.

“Anyway, I’m glad you look healthy. I can see the improvement in my skills. If you brought a knife, you could try sparring.”

“Damn it…Still, I even brought a present for the instructor, but it’s troublesome if I do this.”

“gift?”

“Come on, take it.”

Ronan put something in her hand. Nabi Rose’s eyes widened. A black magic stone, only found in Dainhar, was shining in her palm.

“…Where did you get this from?”

“Just take it. Because it looks like it will be taken care of in the future. Then I’m done!”

“Wait a minute…!”

Ronan’s figure had already disappeared through the crowd and was out of sight. I thought for a moment that I would activate everything and catch it, but I gave up. Butterfly Roze, who was tinkering with the magic stone, laughed.

“… what the hell.”

****

Ronan returned after selling ten Dainhar magic stones to the top of the caravel where Marya was. There were more than a hundred left at home, but I had to be content with that much because the upper house didn’t have enough money to pay right away. It was quite a spectacle to see the Caravels and their daughter grow as if their eyes were going to pop out.

“…It’s really a Dainhar magic stone. It’s also superlative… Asking how you got it is meaningless, right?”

“What is it?”

“Okay…You said you’re busy on the way, so I’ll send the settlement money to your house. Do you have any plans to lead the Caravel Merchant with my daughter in the future?”

“Dad please!”

Marya, blushing, rushed at Duon. Only belatedly did Ronan realize that it was an invitation to marry Marja.

After explaining where to hit to inflict pain effectively, Ronan moved on. A luxurious staff was clutched in his hand.

The destination is Gallerion Hall. It was the first arena where Nabi Rose’s classes usually took place.

– Kang! Kagagak!

– Perok!

Before entering the arena, a bustling noise was heard. When I opened the door, I saw a girl fighting two magical engineering knights. Ronan murmured in a voice mixed with admiration.

“How come you seem to have grown taller…”

The rumor that women grow taller quickly seemed to be true. Adeshan didn’t even notice that Ronan had come in and was concentrating on training.

Every time he moved, his ponytail-like hair fluttered. The nape of his sweaty neck was spraying white light. The appearance of Adeshan easily avoiding the onslaught of the knights was like a man with five eyes.

Unlike Ronan, who evades with her innate reaction speed and body vision, she was predicting the future based on her unique insight. Seeing the crossbow in Adeshan’s hand, Ronan frowned.

“Hmm… the opponent is bad.”

The crossbow, all black from the bow bar to the rope, was the new weapon she had received from Doron. It was a very good weapon in Ronan’s opinion. If you know how to shoot properly, it will create a tremendous synergistic effect with Adeshan’s ability to control the opponent’s movement.

However, this time the young opponent was not good. Shadow’s mana didn’t work on non-living magic engineers.

Whoo! At that time, the knight behind Adeshan lowered his sword vertically and cut it. Adeshan dodged the attack by hastily rolling to the side. Kang! Sparks flew from the tip of the knife that collided with the floor.

“It’s awesome…!”

Adeshan, who hurriedly stood up, aimed at the knight who had slashed down. Since he was still raising his sword, there was a gap.

Calmly aiming at the head, she pulled the handle of the crossbow. The crossbow that was triggered hit the head of the magic engineering knight. Quaang! A small explosion occurred and at the same time the knight’s body leaned backwards.

…thud! Breathing smoke through his eye sockets, the fallen knight let out a mechanical voice.

[Check damage above a certain amount. Stop functioning.]

“That was good…!”

The knight’s movement stopped. Adeshan clenched his fists and called for joy. At that moment, the knight standing in her square swung his sword.

“ah…!”

I was so intoxicated with victory that I couldn’t bear to see it. The blade was already right in front of me. It was a distance that could not be avoided or blocked. It was the moment Adeshan closed her eyes tightly. Kang! The voice of a magic engineer came along with a loud metallic sound.

[Function stopped.]

“… Huh?”

Adeshan carefully opened her eyes. thud! The staggering knight collapsed as if collapsing. A pure white dagger was lodged in the thin seam connecting the neck and body. A familiar voice came from afar.

“Senior, long time no see.”

“Oh Ronan!”

Adeshan’s face brightened. Ronan, who was wandering around, pulled out Ymir from the knight. He looked back at the knight Adeshan had defeated and whistled.

“Did you shoot? I was surprised.”

“Hmm…not enough yet. You almost got knocked down just now.”

“No, not empty words, really. Not everyone does this.”

Ronan pointed at the knight with the tip of his chin. Adeshan’s crossbow was stuck right in the knight’s eye socket. A gap the size of a finger at most. It’s hard to hit even if you shoot in the right posture, but it wasn’t just a simple effort to make it in this kind of melee.

“Anyway, it was burnt black. It’s like a naughty boy.”

“It was a bit hot. Still, compared to the guys who live there, it’s like a snowman.”

“Right, are you hurt anywhere? Did you really go all the way to Dyinhar?”

Suddenly, Adeshan pressed his face closer. The distance was close enough to breathe. After closely examining Ronan’s complexion, she stepped back in embarrassment.

“hot…! Sorry. It must smell like sweat…!”

“are you okay. Do you have some time anyway? Did I interrupt you?”

“No, I was just about to rest.”

“Good for you. take it.”

Ronan nodded and held out his wand. It was a luxurious look like a nobleman would use it. Adeshan tilted her head.

“It looks very expensive…why is this all of a sudden…?”

“It is a gift. Because it’s a weapon that a smart person should use. Would you like to squeeze the handle part for once?”

“huh?”

Adeshan did just that. Charleureuk! Suddenly, a seam appeared on the smooth surface, and the wand extended. Adeshan opened her eyes wide when she saw the steel snake-like figure that could easily jump over 2m.

“A whip? Could this be a whip?”

“As expected, my prediction was correct. With one hard swing, ‘You filthy pig!’ Would you like to say that?”

“Ehhhh…?”

“It suits you very well. If word of mouth spreads, there will probably be people who come to greet you on purpose.”

Adeshan groaned in embarrassment. The reason Ronan dared to give her a whip wasn’t just because of her intelligence. The tall, haughty beauty had to wield a whip. It’s perfect if you wear long leather boots. Adeshan, who was dumbfounded and fidgeting with the whip, opened her mouth.

“I don’t know what it means… I’ll write it really well. thank you.”

“That’s Okay. Shall we do some training then? I’m very sick too.”

“Yeah fine. But before that, why don’t you go somewhere with me for a while? It’s on campus, so it won’t take that long.”

“ok? Where?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Adeshan hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth.

“…The Hill of the Four Seasons. I have something to tell you.”
