Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 132

[ 132. Unseasonably winter (2) ]

#132

“It’s been two years.”

Adesan removed his hand and stood facing Ronan. There were drips of water in his trembling voice. Taking a deep breath, she buried her face in Ronan’s chest.

“senior?”

“…stay like this for a moment.”

It was a bold move that would have been unimaginable two years ago. In the first place, Adeshan was taller at the time, so it was also a posture that couldn’t be done.

Her hair, draped under her chin, smelled of winter flowers. She listened to her heartbeat with her eyes closed. Adeshan said.

“You really are back.”

“You told me earlier.”

“I waited a long time.”

The shoulders of the coat were shaking. Ronan, who embraced Adeshan like a hug, patted her on the back.

The two stayed that way for quite some time. Finally, Adeshan raised her head and gave a bashful laugh.

“You’ve grown a lot taller.”

“That surprised me too.”

“My hair was also very long. Strangely, the beard hasn’t grown much.”

“hair? ah.”

Only then did Ronan realize that something thick was covering the back of his neck. When I put my hand on it, I felt it grabbing the bushy hair. At least the shoulders seemed to have grown. Ronan frowned at the cumbersome feeling he felt for the first time in his life.

“eww.”

“Ahaha, if it’s uncomfortable, I’ll cut it later.”

“Damn thanks. By the way, is what you just said true?”

“huh?”

“I mean two years have passed.”

There was silence for a moment. Adeshan nodded cautiously. Ronan twitched his lips and let out a sigh.

‘Damn, should I say this was cheap.’

The shock was less because I had prepared myself in advance. It was fortunate that I prepared for this and that, keeping in mind that it would take a long time. Ronan, who had barely managed to organize his thoughts, opened his mouth.

“how have you been doing? What about my sister and the rest?”

“I’ve been fine. Everyone is fine, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

“thank god. really.”

Ronan let out a sigh of relief. Those were the words I wanted to hear the most after coming back. Suddenly, Adeshan’s face darkened.

“Ah, but Instructor Nabi Rose is a little…”

“What is it, did something happen?”

Ronan tilted his head. It was unusual to drag the horse’s tail. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head.

“Um… no. I think it would be good to hear this for yourself. Sorry.”

“That’s Okay. You’re not hurt or anything like that, are you?”

“huh. Yes, but…”

Adeshan pursed his lips. Young was suspicious, but since he himself came out like that, he couldn’t be bothered to go to work. Sensing that the atmosphere would become awkward, Ronan changed the subject of the conversation.

“Right, what are those monsters?”

“Ah, it’s a monster called Snow Beast. It only shows up once every three or four days, and I’ve had no luck.”

“that’s right. that was the name Why are they showing up at school?”

“So…”

Adeshan was about to say something. Beep! Beep! A loud alarm sounded somewhere.

“what?”

Ronan noticed that the sound was coming from Adeshan’s wrist. To be precise, in a slender bracelet stuffed on the wrist. Adeshan widened her eyes.

“That’s right, I forgot…!”

“What’s going on?”

“It’s a notice from the student council. We have to have a meeting after the Snow Beast is defeated.”

“Student Council?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Restlessness seemed like an important place. He patted Adeshan on the back and said.

“I’m fine, so let’s go.”

“Can that be? Do you…remember all the school geography?”

“I am not suffering from dementia. I’ll be at your sister’s house.”

“Yeah thanks. I’ll go as soon as it’s over…!”

Adeshan turned and disappeared into the blizzard. Maybe I had learned how to walk, but I barely heard footsteps.

Ronan picked up the chest he had put down on the floor. Recalling Adeshan’s face, he murmured softly.

“…You’ve become very pretty.”

It was the first time I had such an impression from anyone other than my sister. The only thing that was different from my previous life was the shade of the eyes that were exhausted.

I could still smell the winter flowers in my chest. Ronan left campus and headed to Iril’s house.

The snow continued to fall all the way. It didn’t seem like an ordinary winter either. Unexpectedly, a distant distance caught my eye. The flame spirits and magic engineering knights were constantly working on snow removal.

‘It’s nice to have money. I cleaned it all up during the Punishment Army days.’

smart. Ronan arrived home in less than ten minutes and knocked on the front door. Perhaps it was meal time, a delicious smell wafted through the cracks in the door. Fortunately, the answer came from within.

“Yes, let’s go!”

It wasn’t long before a familiar girl appeared through the open door. Her pale white hair was much fuller. Erill’s eyes widened.

“Ro Ronan?”

“sister.”

“You, you, you… you…!”

The sister I hadn’t seen in a while was still beautiful. Iril repeated incomprehensible sounds like someone who had forgotten how to speak. Before long, bursting into tears, she rushed at Ronan.

“Wow! You’re back!”

Maybe it’s because her body has grown, so she fits comfortably in my arms. Judging by the loud cry, he looked healthy, as Adeshan said. Ronan, who was patting his sister, opened his mouth.

“how have you been doing?”

“Yes. I’m really good at… haaaaaa!”

Iril, who was about to say something, burst into tears again. She had to shed tears for about ten more minutes before she could gather herself.

“Huh…becoming an older sister, she showed a careless side. It’s okay now!”

“thank god. What about Sita?”

“Oh wait, Ronan’s friends took him. He will probably come soon.”

Iril explained that Sheeta has been busy lately. It seemed that the express adventure club was also continuing their activities while he was away. Iril raised his tiptoe and grabbed his brother’s face and asked anxiously.

“So did you eat? Why do you look so skinny?”

“rice…?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. Come to think of it, I hadn’t eaten anything in two years. The moment I realized that, a tremendous sound resounded in my stomach.

“I didn’t eat.”

“Hee hee, I’ll prepare it soon. I’m going to the backyard for a while, so wait in the kitchen!”

Illil opened the back door with a smile and stepped out. Ronan’s eyes widened as he entered the kitchen. A familiar bastard was sitting at the table eating stew. The combination of the dark blue hair and the napkin around his neck seemed like an asshole.

“…were you there?”

“It’s been a while, Ronan. It’s been two years.”

Schlieffen greeted me calmly. It was an attitude that would be believed even if they had met after breaking up yesterday. Ronan stared at him, forgetting what to say. widely. The morning star of the Empire lowered her spoon and opened her mouth.

“I tried to stand up as soon as I ate.”

“…I guess so.”

“You look suspicious. From Miss Iril’s reaction, I noticed you were back. Is it a sin not to interfere with your brother and sister’s reunion?”

“Who said what?”

Ronan sat down at the table. A delicious smell was wafting from Schlieffen’s bowl. Seeing the stew with plenty of meat and vegetables, Ronan licked his lips.

“Kyaa… it looks delicious. My sister has also developed. I put a lot of other ingredients like that.”

“Ms. Iril’s cooking has always been excellent.”

Schlieffen met Ronan’s eyes and pulled his bowl towards himself. It was like an animal wary of losing its food. Ronan snorted in amazement.

“Don’t take it. Climb.”

“It’s an absurd assumption. I only observed it because my body was compacted.”

Schlieffen started to finish eating the stew. Reading the relief on his face, Ronan shook his head. Although her appearance has changed, her personality has not changed at all.

‘When will this bastard pay for his face?’

Growing up, Schlieffen had become a pretty young man. He seemed to be more handsome than when he saw him in his previous life. After finally emptying the bowl, Schlieffen opened his mouth.

“Looks like it’s worth the two years investment. The aura itself has changed.”

“You’re not too tough.”

Ronan raised an eyebrow. I could tell without even paying attention. The genius in front of him had reached a much higher level than he had seen before.

‘I must have passed the initial phase of awakening long ago. A monster bastard.’

The pulsating core was visible to the naked eye. I wondered how many swordsmen would be able to defeat this bastard in formal sparring. I wanted to see swords face to face right now, but it wasn’t the time yet.

“Have you been here all this time? To protect your sister?”

“How could that be? Just in time, the house next door was empty, so I bought it. Miss Adeshan and the club members took turns standing guard.”

“It’s amazing.”

Ronan chuckled. Buying a house for security. The scale itself was different, probably because it was the offspring of a great nobleman. After knocking on the desk for a while, he opened his mouth.

“…thanks. For keeping your promise.”

“I just did what I was supposed to do.”

Schlieffen nodded calmly. There wasn’t even a hint of urgency in his calm tone. jump! Then the back door opened and Illil came in. The basket in her hand was full of eggs.

“Tada I’m here! I’ll do it soon, so wait a little bit. Will Mr. Schlieffen have it too?”

“…if you do, I’ll be grateful.”

“Hee hee, I got it~”

Ronan laughed in amazement. The bowl he had just emptied was by no means small, but he was very consistent. Erill started to cook while humming.

“Ronan.”

“hmm?”

Sigh- Schlieffen, who suddenly stood up, winked at Ronan. Hearing the signal, he stood up.

Ronan was about a hand taller. He followed Schlieffen to the second floor. Schlieffen stopped when he reached the balcony on the second floor. Ronan tilted his head.

“What’s going on?”

“It’s not a pleasant story for Miss Erill to hear.”

Schlieffen looked out the window. Snow was pouring down under the cloudy sky.

It was a well-built house, so the cold didn’t penetrate, but you could tell how cold it was outside just by looking at it. He quietly folded his arms and parted his lips.

“Do you know what happened to the islands now?”

“What happened…?”

“Don’t panic, listen. It is now the golden plum fox month, Ronan.”

“…what?”

Ronan’s face hardened. Schlieffen let out a self-deprecating laugh.

“It is funny. To think that I had to wrap myself in leather at a time when cherry blossoms should be in full bloom.”

Ronan couldn’t answer. If it was the golden plum fox moon, it was the time when he had just entered Phileon. Intoxicated with the profusely blooming spring flowers, he wielded a black iron sword.

“…Does it have something to do with the monsters appearing in the middle of Phileon?”

“I see you met. Not only Phileon, but the whole system is suffering from headaches. Because they appear wherever it snows.”

“Fuck. What the hell happened?”

Ronan frowned. A corner of my brain tickled as I asked the question. I must have experienced something similar to this in my previous life.

“This winter has been going on for a year. Winter only came to the islands.”

“one year?”

“Yes…it all started with one student.”

Rumbling. The windows were shaking in the gust of wind. Schlieffen, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.

“Do you know about the existence of the Winter Witch?”
