Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 123

“Follow me. Grab your weapon.”
Ronan stepped out of the building. The members followed him while tilting their heads.
They took their places in Nest’s training ground. After confirming that everyone had weapons, Ronan opened his mouth.
“I’ll explain it simply, so listen carefully. As you all know, I am cursed.”
There was no reason to hide it now. Ronan briefly explained the situation he was in now.
The fact that the curse is blocking the possibility of becoming stronger, the fact that Haeju is indispensable in order to overcome the limit and grow, and the fact that you have to leave your seat. Asher asked in a worried voice.
“How about doing Haeju after Joe graduates?”
“It’s too late then. You don’t know how long it will take, and if you have talent, you should nurture it as young as possible.”
“…do you think it will take a lot of time?”
“I don’t know. Isn’t that why you borrowed even these advanced tools?”
Ronan held up the bracelet. I thought it would be something to eat, but surprisingly, Nabi Rose willingly lent me a bracelet. Although there was a condition that the training time would be doubled after Haeju was completed.
“Come on with all your might. That way, you can figure out the direction of training.”
“…That’s why I called you today.”
“okay. If I come back and there’s no achievement, it’s just all gone. Oh, I brought an assistant who will coach you perfectly.”
“assistant?”
“ok. Just come over there.”
Ronan pointed at the back of the training ground with the tip of his chin. The members turned their heads.
A tall girl was striding along. Various papers and a small bell were tucked into the narrow side. Standing next to Ronan, she greeted him kindly.
“hi. It’s been a while, everyone.”
“oh. The other day…that senior Adeshan, right?”
“huh. nice to meet you marya How’s work at the top?”
Adeshan smiled softly. Marja’s eyes widened. It was all we had met casually, but I didn’t expect that I would even remember what we were doing. Looking around at the members, she tilted her head.
“Can’t you see the morning star of the empire? You didn’t call me on purpose?”
“That bastard will figure it out. He’s an awakened guy.”
Ronan shook his head. I don’t know about anyone else, but I wasn’t as worried as Schlieffen. To be honest, there was a strong chance that the unlucky guy would win even if he sparred with all the upperclassmen of Phileon.
“Senior has good eyes. I will figure out how you guys are fighting and give you directions for future training, so you just have to fight until the information is accumulated.”
“indeed. There is no talent like the assistant professor in this kind of work.”
Braum nodded slowly. Taking Nabi Rose’s class, he was well aware of Adeshan’s ability. She was able to look at nearly thirty people at once and correct their movements. said Ronan.
“Then let’s begin. senior?”
“Ah yes.”
With her daughter… Adeshan shook the bell she was holding. A clear sound signaled that the battle had begun, but no one moved. It was in the midst of the dumb members looking at each other’s faces alternately.
“Have you started?”
Ronan tugged at the hilt. Sugak! A wide loft cut through the waists of four people. The figures of Asher and Marja Braum disappeared from view. Seeing the one remaining, Ronan shrugged his eyebrows.
“Only you survived. You can’t ignore age.”
“Kuu…!”
Ophelia, the only one who managed to pull herself out, bit her lip. Tutuk. Drops of blood dripped from her belly. It was so fast that I couldn’t dodge it completely.
“You… you’re serious…”
“You’d better do it properly. You wouldn’t say that it’s disadvantageous because it’s daytime, right?”
Ronan spurred the ground again and ran. Ophelia whispered the incantation. Wow! The wolf’s mouth, made of blood, rose from the ground and swallowed Ronan.
“You don’t…don’t say that.”
Ophelia clenched her fists. A huge magic circle was created above the wolf’s head. shoot it! Swords made of shadows poured down from inside the magic circle. It seemed like black rain was falling.
“It hurts… I’m sleepy…”
It was a technique that wouldn’t even be left in shape because it couldn’t be torn to pieces. Ophelia, convinced of Ronan’s elimination, was about to turn around. A familiar voice came from behind.
“Get treatment and come out. Because Sheeta is waiting.”
“what…?”
Chew! The wolf’s head split in half. A crescent moon-shaped sword that flew in a straight line hit Ophelia.
There was no time to react. Ugh! Her form distorted after being hit directly by the sword energy and disappeared. The pouring shadow weapons scattered like smoke. Ronan grunted as he spat on the floor.
“They are not inspired. How many times do you want to roll?”
– Kwajik!
It was then. The door to the club building opened with the sound of a tree breaking. The three members who were eliminated earlier appeared.
“hey! Where is that all of a sudden? Really bee?!”
“I thought you were going to die…!”
“Ugh. It would be a bad feeling even if it happened again.”
The eyes of the members who faced an absurd death were markedly different from before. Marya, holding the greatsword in one turn, spurred the ground and charged.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but I can’t live with being hurt. let’s go!”
“I agree!”
“Wait a minute! Ophelia is still…!”
Braum also threw himself with the Great Shield. Asher shouted in a panicked voice, but the two did not stop.
After confirming that they were within range, Ronan swung his sword dryly. Kwaaang! An explosion occurred at the same time as the wide sword was fired.
“Hahahaha! This is really good!”
Braum’s boisterous laughter echoed through the smoke. There was not a scratch left on the great shield that blocked the sword.
“Because they make it well.”
It was the tea Ronan muttered. fault! Stepping on Braum’s shoulder, Marya jumped up and swung her greatsword vertically.
“Haaaaaaaa!”
“It’s quite a lot.”
Ronan raised an eyebrow. The feeling of intimidation was considerable. Her greatsword, which gets heavier the more mana it holds, was completely dyed in a bluish indigo color.
In this way, a head-to-head match was impossible. Ronan was about to twist his shoulder to avoid it.
“That Gravity Bind!”
A terrified voice echoed from far away. At the same time, four magic circles were created in the air. Chow! Transparent chains extending from the magic circle wrapped around Ronan’s limbs in an instant.
“How are you?”
Ronan shook his head and laughed. Asher stretched out his hand and aimed at himself. The wobbly legs were also seen here.
“I’m sorry, Ronan…! But because you told me to…!”
“Somehow, it seems that emotions are loaded.”
It seemed that he had been reading Vajura quite intently. It was a much higher level magic than Asher’s usual Invisible Hand. No matter how hard I tried, my body wouldn’t budge. Ronan, who was a little proud, smiled.
“You guys worked hard.”
“good job! Cutie!”
Marja called for joy. The greatsword descending in a blue arc was about to touch Ronan’s collarbone.
“Then I’ll try my best too.”
Ronan switched power sources. A golden energy rode up his right arm. It was Baren’s Aura that amplified his power.
As he swung his arm around, the stem that wrapped around his wrist was torn off helplessly. Sugak! Grabbing La Mancha, Ronan cut off the rest of the chain.
“That Gravity Bind!”
Asher’s mouth fell open. I didn’t expect to be destroyed so easily.
As Ronan twisted his shoulder, Marya’s greatsword struck the floor. Aaaaang! A huge crack formed and shattered paving stones bounced up.
“Oh, no…!”
When the attack missed, Marya’s expression twisted. Ronan had no intention of waiting for her to draw the greatsword. squeak. As Ronan lightly swung the sword, Marya’s shape distorted and disappeared.
“Marya!!”
Excited Braum came running with a stomp. It was the biggest advantage of this training that I became overimmersed. A sharp one-handed sword was clutched in the other hand that did not hold a shield.
sword and shield Not bad. After chanting, Ronan pulled out Ymir’s dagger. Wedge! As he swung his arm, Braum stopped and raised his shield.
“Hmm!”
“Climb. We have to protect the wizard first.”
Braum’s face hardened. When he hurriedly turned his head, the dagger had already reached Asher’s forehead. Before Braum could say anything, Asher’s shape distorted and disappeared. hooked! Ymir flew all the way and got stuck in the outer wall of the club building.
“You can’t even sell it. You are the vanguard.”
Ronan’s voice came from right in front of me. A dreary goose bump ran down Braum’s spine. When I lowered my gaze, I saw Ronan scratching his head.
“Uhhhhh!”
He was already inside the shield. squeak. With the sound of a sword cutting through the air, Braum’s figure disappeared. It wasn’t until about 3 minutes later that the members showed up again.
“Seed! again!”
“I think we should go… together. I never thought I’d become this strong…”
The members reappeared. I liked the venomous eyes more than before. Adeshan continued to record their movements and habits on paper. As she sketched Marja’s swordsmanship, she let out admiration.
“Awesome…all well above standard skills.”
“Don’t you think you’ll have a taste for teaching?”
“huh. All four of you are the types to reap more than you sow. In the first place, I don’t have the skills to teach you anything…”
“Have confidence. I haven’t seen anyone with more talent in this field than my seniors.”
Ronan tapped Adeshan on the shoulder. She smiled bashfully and nodded. After getting ready, Marja let out a cheer.
“let’s go-!!”
“I’ll tie you up first with blood magic…”
This time, all four of them rushed. With Ophelia joining in, the attack became even more fierce.
Ronan subdued all the members with exactly four blades. Kudangtangtang! Not long after the sound of rolling down the stairs echoed, the door to the club opened.
“again!”
Adeshan’s intelligence gathering was finished by the time they had died about five times. However, the evil members did not stop attacking until the sun went down. Marya, who had been treated as dead exactly the 27th time, glared at Ronan and growled.
“Heo-euk…If you did this much…heuk, die at least once…!”
“no.”
“To the world…a shameful…
” Marya, who was supporting herself with her greatsword, fell to the floor. was the last dropout. Asher and Braum Ophelia, exhausted from long ago, were strewn about like corpses.
Ronan never died. However, throughout the battle, I was surprised. The skills of the members were many times better than expected.
‘It was really dangerous a few times.’
In fact, two or three times I almost died. That alone shows how hard I’ve been working. While reviewing the dangerous moment, he looked back at the members and murmured.
“thanks. Fools.”
I felt like I could leave without worry.
****
After hearing Secret’s words that it might take a long time, Ronan thought a lot. It was because of the variables that could happen during his absence.
‘It’s not easy.’
The biggest threat was, of course, Nebula Klage. There was no answer when strong men of the level of the branch manager pushed in. Because the only one who could cut down the protection of the stars was Ronan at the moment.
‘Still, such a big man won’t invade the middle of the island. The traces of mana were definitely erased.’
The good news is that the chances of that happening are slim. There was no clue in the church that could lead to Ronan’s residence.
Ronan remembered what Terranil had said. He said he followed the traces of mana left at the site to track him down. That meant that once the evidence was removed, the trail was far off.
‘I did a good job killing both of them, even if it was forced.’
Ronan let out a sigh of relief. The first thing he did after killing Terranil and Yuria was to erase all traces of the scene. With the help of Sheeta and the sensitive Schlieffen, the action should have been clear.
‘I did everything I could.’
Actions to be taken before leaving are over. I got the direction of the members and also secured the safety of my sister. Unless the Advent situation happened earlier, nothing would have happened.
‘Then… let’s go have a last supper.’
Ronan opened the door and stepped out. He had been at his new home in Jedo since last night. I wanted to have one last meal with my sister before doing something big.
In Ronan’s left hand was a letter from Secret saying that Haeju was ready. Before I even set foot on the stairs, a delicious smell wafted from downstairs. It was the smell of Iril’s trademark potato stew.
“You look like an older sister.”
It was the moment when Ronan, who had just come down to the first floor, lifted his head. A kitchen full of people came into view.
“…Why did so many people gather?”
