Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 150

“It’s surprising that there were survivors. But why did you become that shape?”

“…I do not know either.”

Ronan shook his head at Navi Rose’s question. Five strong men of the imperial army were carrying the major by the head and limbs. It was very pitiful to see him being put on a convoy without losing consciousness.

“Sorry. He is a strong soldier.”

“Did you know someone?”

“Yes, I saw her a few times when she was in the Imperial Knights. What the hell did you see…”

Nabi Roze dragged his words. Come to think of it, Nemea was originally an elite member of the Imperial Knights.

The major couldn’t come to his senses. She panicked and ran amok until she finally stopped the seizure after taking five shots of sedatives. Nabi Roze, who had taken another cigarette from Ronan and smoked it, stopped the lieutenant colonel from before.

“The lieutenant colonel there.”

“Yes yes! Nabi Rose!”

“How long do you think it will take for Major Nemea to come to his senses?”

“I don’t know the details either. However, judging from the state at the time of discovery, it is expected that it will take quite some time. Even Wear Lions usually fall asleep in about two feet…”

The lieutenant colonel lowered his head as if he was not confident. Suddenly, what Nemea had done flashed through Ronan’s mind. He was obviously afraid of making eye contact with himself.

This was a pretty big clue. It was because there were only three people, including myself, who cut like that with scarlet eyes.

‘Is that what the child did? For that reason, the sword scars are crude.’

The more I thought about it, the more my doubts grew. There was no suitable suspect. It was not enough for a robe man to do it, and the feeling was completely different from that of a savior.

‘…Where did I get it for now?’

The details were to be revealed when the major came to his senses. Surprisingly, there were no injuries, so once he regained his stability, he should be able to testify. He stroked Sheeta’s hair gently.

“great job. Sita.”

“Bye~”

For now, Ronan decided to be satisfied with the fact that he saved at least one person. After confirming that the situation was over, Nabi Rose opened her mouth.

“Go back at once. It was a lot of trouble.”

“Instructor too.”

“Today’s incident will change a lot…”

Nabi Roze murmured softly. Ronan also agreed with that opinion. The fact that the newly created unit under the emperor’s order suffered mass deaths in such close proximity to the capital was not an issue that could be easily overlooked. Especially if the swordsman, who is said to be the strongest of all time, is involved.

The sky was completely clear by now. Apart from the disastrous incident, sunny sunlight was pouring over the heads of the two.

Mounted on their horses, they ran along the way they had come. It was around the time I had just arrived at Phileon. It caught my eye that there was a majestic carriage parked in front of the front door.

“What is that again?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. How splendid it was, students were crowded to see the wagon. An old man dressed in silk stood erect in front of the carriage. It was like waiting for someone.

Anyway, I can’t get past that. It was the car that Ronan was about to turn his head on. The old man suddenly turned his head and Ronan’s eyes met. he said, raising his hand.

“Oh there. Please wait a moment.”

“ok?”

The old man approached slowly. It was an old lady with an impressive beard growing like a goat. After examining Ronan’s face, he opened his mouth.

“Ronan. Are you right?”

“Uh… that’s right.”

“okay. You should go with me right now.”

The old man said in a firm tone. Ronan tilted his head. Unless he had dementia, he had no memory of making a pact with an old man like this.

“Right now?”

“That’s right.”

“As you can see, I’m not in my current state.”

“You still have to go. I will give you a change of clothes.”

Ronan chuckled. I wasn’t even angry because I was dumbfounded. Just by looking at her clothes covered in blood and mud, she would know that she was not in a situation where she would be invited by someone. Unable to hold back, Ronan opened his eyes and said.

“What is inspiration, telling others to come and go? Did the emperor even call me?”

“That’s right.”

“…ok?”

For an instant, Ronan’s brain hardened. What is this kid talking about now? Are you the emperor? The old man bowed even more deeply and continued.

“I am sorry if my attitude seemed rude. But please, I want you to go with me. His Majesty the Emperor has urgently invited you.”

Then he added that he would lend me a change of clothes. Ronan looked back at Nabi Rosé. She just shrugged her shoulders as if I didn’t know how.

“I don’t think we’ll be able to compete today.”

“…Iknow, right.”

“Wait. Have a good trip.”

Ronan got off the horse and changed into a carriage. Instead, Naviroze, who took the reins, went inside the campus. The students watched the back of the wagon carrying Ronan until it turned a corner and disappeared.

****

Unexpectedly, Ronan got on the carriage and headed for the imperial palace. Seeing that the guards didn’t do any restraint, fortunately, it didn’t seem like they were a group of killers who were abusing the emperor’s call.

The imperial palace was the first. In my previous life, I had only seen it from afar, but had never entered it. I never imagined that I would be able to step in this life as well.

The Heart of the Millennium Empire, considered the largest and most beautiful building in the archipelago. The desire to see that magnificent yet noble figure was like a chimney for Ronan, but he couldn’t. It was because he was wasting all his time and energy on changing into clothes that looked like an asshole.

“Damn, is this right? I can’t breathe.”

“sorry. He has a better physique than I thought…”

“And what makes it so glamorous? Not even a wild parrot.”

“It’s a robe that was made a little while ago… I’d appreciate it if you could understand.”

Ronan frowned and straightened his collar. The clothes the old man handed me to change into were some of the most horrible clothes I had ever worn.

It was not enough to be constricted like a python, and there were many colorful decorations that could be recognized from a hundred meters away. If there had been one more decoration, Ronan would have plucked the old man’s beard and stuck it to his forehead.

I once tried it on by just piercing a hole in a potato bag, but it seemed to be better in terms of convenience. said the old man.

“Oh, you can leave the knife to me.”

“Couldn’t you even take a nimmy knife?”

“That’s because it’s about seeing His Majesty the Emperor. I will treasure it.”

In order to have an audience with the emperor, he had to entrust an object that could become a weapon. If you think about it, it was natural, so it was ambiguous to open it. It was the moment when Ronan reluctantly returned the sword. profit. The carriage stopped.

“You have arrived.”

The driver opened the door. Outside, instead of a magnificent castle or beautiful garden, there was a tunnel-like space where a wagon was built. In the end, Ronan, who had not been able to visit the imperial palace at all, spat out curse words.

“Fuck.”

“This way.”

Goatbeard brazenly guided Ronan. The place we entered was a large space that looked like a reception room.

In the splendid room, furniture and props for relaxation were placed in the right place. There was another grand gate on the opposite wall, presumably leading to the audience room. said the old man.

“Please rest in peace. Just wait a bit and the emperor will call you.”

“It disappears.”

The old man withdrew like the wind. Ronan brushed his bangs and took a deep breath. It was a very crazy day. In fact, he is in a deep sleep, to the point where he doubts whether this is all a dream.

He was not alone in the drawing room. Three people came first. Unlike Ronan, they all dressed up in stylish clothes and were taking a break. Ronan’s eyes met one of them and he froze in place.

“…uh?”

A Wearlion dressed in a suit was sitting on the sofa reading a book. If his eyes weren’t wrong, he must have known him. Ronan, barely calming himself, approached him. And tapped on the shoulder.

“Baren.”

“hmm?”

The lion turned his head. His eyes widened when he met Ronan. Baren closed the book and slowly raised himself.

“…Ronan? Is it really you?”

“long time no see.”

“Oh, how long has this been?”

It was a reunion after 2 years. Varen opened his arms and embraced him. It didn’t smell like an animal, it smelled like a gentleman’s perfume. Wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, he opened his mouth.

“Really… you’ve grown so much. How have you been?”

“What about it? Where has the professor been?”

“Ah, I was in Patar in the south. I just got back from tidying up yesterday.”

“Southern? organize?”

Ronan tilted his head. This was the first time he had seen Baren after he had finished Haeju. I heard that you left Phileon for some reason, but suddenly you are in the south? Baren continued.

“I couldn’t grow herbs because winter had come to the islands. You are a true hero to me too.”

Grabbing Ronan’s hands, Baren lowered his head. He said he almost killed all the herbs because of the witch’s winter.

Ronan nodded his head in understanding. Well, I have a business, but I couldn’t kill all that precious grass. he asked.

“So what’s going on here?”

“I have been called by His Majesty the Emperor. There were a few more people besides us. In my case, I have been recognized for giving out potions for free to people shivering in the cold.”

The people gathered in the drawing room were all those who had made a contribution when winter came to the islands. A middle-aged aristocrat with a beard allowed his forest to be cut down for the purpose of securing firewood, and an elegantly dressed lady sold her jewelry to distribute food and clothes to citizens.

In a word, it was all called to give a prize. However, if there was something I had doubts about, it was why they called me right away when they told me to come when it was convenient for me.

Of course, I had no complaints except for this stupid outfit. It was enough to pass the time talking about overdue stories. The joy of reuniting with Baren neutralized the anger that had accumulated since the morning.

“Well, let’s sit down. So I met some killer lionesses in the South…”

Ronan was about to continue. Quaang! The door to the waiting room opened violently. Everyone in the drawing room turned their heads.

A dark, huge shadow was striding in. Blood mixed with water was dripping with every step forward. The old man who guided Ronan hurriedly followed him and shouted.

“You giant swordsman! It’s not possible! Please dress appropriately!”

“Shut up.”

The shadow growled low. The old man, sighing, froze in place. It was the same with the people in the parlor. Ronan’s mouth opened slowly.

“Zaipa.”

“…you?”

Jaipa turned her head. Upon encountering Ronan, he stopped walking. It was difficult to say that Zaifa’s appearance after a long time looked good.

At first, the hair all over the body was wet. The pants were covered in blood so much that I wondered if they were originally red.

I heard in the morning that I went to catch the culprit who killed the unit members, but it didn’t seem to have achieved much. Just by looking at him, I could feel how angry he was. bang! After staring at Ronan for a long time, Zaypa hit the floor with his tail.

“Ronan.”

Suddenly, he started striding toward Ronan. Overwhelmed by the momentum, the people backed away. Red eyes were shining brightly from high up there.

It was too much to live just to have a conversation. Ronan, who didn’t really have a kangaroo, stared at him with his hands in his pockets.

why are you so mad all of a sudden? Suddenly, the words Jaifa left in Ronan’s mind flashed through his mind.

‘no way.’

He said that he catches Nebula Klagier by intuition. I couldn’t see the sparkling mana, but I could see it as what I felt. And now, in Ronan’s chest, a heart made of sparkling mana was beating.

‘Is this fucked up?’

Suddenly, goose bumps ran down my spine. It was disappointing not having a knife. Zaifa’s index finger was almost as thick as his wrist. It was the moment when the distance between the two had almost closed.

“Heh heh swordsman. Do you have any business with my student?”

Suddenly, Baren blocked Zaifa’s path. he said with a wry smile. Jaipa frowned.

“Get out of the way. compatriots.”

“It can’t be.”

“Why are you interfering? we are old I just want to talk.”

“Reap from living. It makes me sick.”

Baren was straight. Zaifa growled softly, but he did not back down. Varen’s dark-brown mane stood on sharp bristles.

The overall size of Zaifa was bigger, but Baren was never pushed back. The pressure emanating from the two beasts filled the space. Veins welled up on Zaifa’s black forearms.

“You bastard…”

was the car he was about to say. Sigh… Suddenly, the gate on the other side opened, and a woman in fancy attire stepped in.

In an instant, silence fell. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at her. The woman opened her mouth.

“Everyone please enter. Your Majesty is ready.”
