Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 154

[ 154. Toward the Holy Land (1) ]

#154

“Uhm…not bad.”

It was late in the morning when Ronan returned to Phileon. A half moon hung in the clear night sky. It felt so good to feel the spirit of alcohol coming up.

The banquet was enjoyable. Contrary to the expectations of the punitive soldiers’ comrades, there was no such thing as fried fairy or liquor made from dragon’s tears. Although there was no less good food on the table than there was.

‘It’s Dawn.’

Suddenly, Ronan lowered his gaze and looked at his waist. Balon’s sword was trembling as it welcomed a new owner.

I still didn’t feel good about it. To think that an uneducated swordsman who was used as an arrow holder in his previous life became a secret agent of the empire. At this point, the novel would also be criticized for not being probable.

‘I searched all over.’

However, Ronan was clearly aware that this was reality. I didn’t mean to do anything roughly.

He was going to eat up the rights and privileges he had acquired to the very root of the pillars. Although he had a humble status, he was confident that he would make good use of it in his own way since he had served in the army for 7 years.

‘…You’re bothering me.’

However, if there was one thing that kept bothering me, it was Zaifa, the current Sword Saint. The fact that he was not very drunk even after pouring alcohol into his stomach was largely due to his concern for the tiger.

Zaifa never showed up at the banquet hall. Aside from the fact that he was scorned by the emperor in front of people, he had a hunch that he might harbor a terrible misunderstanding with himself.

‘I’m not the kind of person who would harm an unrelated person, but…’

Those glittering eyes still flickered in my head. The sole survivor, Major Nemea, was still unconscious and hadn’t woken up. She should come to her senses soon to find out the truth of the incident. It was the moment when Ronan was about to enter Navardo’s coffin.

“You are late. Ronan.”

“Ah fuck it’s a surprise.”

A voice came from the darkness. Ronan turned his head. Schlieffen stood leaning against the door of the dormitory. I had so many thoughts that I didn’t even notice its existence.

“I heard about what happened in the past. A lot happened.”

“Where did you go and are you creeping in now?”

“It is around noon today. I went to the Grancia estate. As soon as I arrived, I stopped by Miss Iril’s house, and she served me a dish I didn’t ask for. Live with the realization that you are always a blessed person.”

Schlieffen was right, seeing that he said such a thing with a serious expression. It was really a long time since I’ve been waiting for the top. His face, still blissfully handsome, was shining white in the moonlight.

Even after that, Schlieffen talked about things like how he gave his older sister a gift for spring clothes he had commissioned from his exclusive tailor, and whether the appearance really reminded him of an angel. Ronan’s gaze, nodding soullessly, accidentally touched Schlieffen’s chest.

‘This bastard rolled too much.’

Ronan smiled. Surprisingly, there was not much change in his size, but it was clear that he had suffered the same amount as himself for a month. Compared to the last time I saw it, the energy of the core had increased by almost 20%.

But that wasn’t what was important now. Ronan’s brow twisted.

“But you madman. Have you been waiting here all along?”

“Hmm…the body has been trained more there. Mana has become much more pure. After all, you are my only adversary.”

Schlieffen turned around but did not deny that he had been waiting. Anyway, he was an insane kid. With his back away from the wall, he continued.

“Then we have to fight, so let’s move. We have to leave for Parjan in a few hours.”

“ah.”

Schlieffen’s expression was serious. Right now, today is the starting day, but I couldn’t come to a decision, so it was understandable.

Judging by the reaction, it seemed that this bastard did not know the truth about the sword festival. Ronan sighed and brushed his bangs back.

“Uh…I don’t know how you’re going to hear this. We don’t have to fight.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that sister cheated on us. Damn, I think it’s all about being pretty and having a good body.”

Ronan conveyed the information he had heard to the emperor. In the first place, anyone can apply for participation, and it is to pick out those who can sprout from within. Nabi Roze tricked us.

“……”

Although it was quite shocking information, Schlieffen’s face did not show any agitation as the story progressed. After the explanation, Ronan yawned. Fatigue was coming like a wave, perhaps because I had been busy since morning.

“Ahhhh…maybe in the morning he’ll tell me the truth. I sleep.”

“wait.”

He was just about to enter the dormitory. bang! Schlieffen, who had flinched, blocked the door with his sword. Ronan frowned.

“Are you a crazy bastard?”

“We haven’t even sparred yet, so where are we going? Follow me.”

“Did you hear what I said through your asshole? Because you don’t have to fight.”

“I knew the conditions for participation a long time ago. But Instructor Nabi Roze said he would take one person and that was the person who won in Dalian. I must have heard that.”

I’m sober. There was no such ignorance. Ronan said in a tone that he was full of energy.

“No, that’s because it’s unconditionally a lie. To be honest, is that sister going without you or me?”

“You’ll know that tomorrow morning.”

“…Hyung, I’m tired. If anything, I’ll deal with you in the morning, so go wipe your feet and go to bed.”

“Competing with you was also one of my main purposes. Are you afraid of losing to me?”

“what?”

A vein formed on Ronan’s forehead. I wondered what I was hearing now. Taking a deep breath and calming himself, he opened his mouth.

“Say it again.”

“I asked if I was afraid of losing. Otherwise, there would be no reason to step out so pathetically. The body has grown, but the heart seems to have shrunk.”

“under.”

Ronan chuckled. Looking at it now, it was not a knife, but a guy who was good at making fun of his tongue. The ability to go against the planting was unusual.

“Such a ratty bastard.”

Ronan, who had been laughing, tugged at the hilt. In all of my two lives, I’ve never heard anything like this and just let it go.

Sureureung! La Mancha’s blade came out of the scabbard with a dark light. He groaned as he pointed the tip of his sword at Schlieffen’s neck.

“Come on right now.”

“Now you are back. Let’s move places first.”

“You better be prepared. If your baby loses, only the buttocks will be cut out of the pants and will be brought to our sister. ”

The two walked side by side. I was going to go over well, but it seemed like it wouldn’t work. The hangover and fatigue had long since gone.

****

The dawn was bright. The chirping of birds could be heard under the slowly fading sky. It was still early, so I didn’t see any students walking around the school.

“Where did you go?”

Nabi Roze sighed while walking around the campus. She was wearing a neat uniform, and Ursa, the secret sword, was strapped to her back. A carriage to the holy land of Parzan was waiting at the front gate, but the two of them were nowhere to be seen.

‘I’m sure I heard that they both came yesterday.’

It wasn’t in the dormitory, nor was it in the first arena. Even after making a big lap around the campus, his whereabouts were unknown. I had to start slowly so that I could arrive on time, but it was difficult.

‘ah.’

At that time, the image of a space flashed through her mind. I remember going there once when I had a welcome party for Ronan who came back from Haeju.

Nabi Roze moved to the north side of the campus. Before long, a warehouse connected to the express adventure club caught my eye.

Ignoring the hallucinatory firewood and going down the stairs, a huge training ground resembling a runway unfolded before my eyes. The butterfly rose froze.

“This…”

The training ground was literally in a mess. Large and small sword scars were dizzyingly covering the floor, walls, and even the high ceiling. It was a landscape that seemed to have been swept away by a storm in the shape of a blade.

Scarecrows, magical engineering articles, and other equipment and weapons useful for training were all cut into pieces. It felt more like being swept away and destroyed rather than intentionally cut.

The club building, made of wood, was cut lengthwise and divided into two. It was very dangerous that it would fall over on both sides at the slightest touch. Butterfly Rose let out a laugh.

“Did you risk your life to fight?”

There was no room for excuse, it was Ronan and Schlieffen’s sword scar. Nabi Roze slowly stepped into the training ground. It wasn’t long before she found two people strewn about in the middle of the training ground.

It was like a drunken dog rolling around on the floor. It was funny to see him clad in a sword while wearing rags. Bloodstains were scattered all around the two of them.

Fortunately, he collapsed from exhaustion, but was not dead. Butterfly Roze, who was groaning with her forehead on her forehead, opened her mouth.

“Wake up.”

“Huh…! Instructor?!”

“Big!”

The two of them jumped up. The skin exposed through the torn fabric was full of scars. It seemed that they sparred while not applying the medicine properly. Nabi Roze said.

“What the hell did you do last night?”

“Uh… nothing happened.”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

At Ronan’s answer, Nabi Roze sighed again. Even if the two companies engaged in hand-to-hand combat, they would have fought better than this. She extended her finger and pointed to the exit.

“Please be ready in 10 minutes. Both go together.”

“All right.”

“What is ‘I know’? I’m right, you asshole.”

right! Ronan slapped Schlieffen on the back of the head. Still, if he had a conscience, he politely welcomed him. Ronan asked Nabi Rose.

“That Instructor. You meant to take both of them from the start, right?”

“no. The one who really lost was going to be left behind. That’s what motivates me for sure.”

Nabi Roze said firmly. Ronan’s face hardened. Schlieffen, who had been touching the back of his head, looked back at him. Ronan avoided eye contact as much as possible and opened his mouth.

“Uh…then why are you taking them all?”

“Because it’s obvious that we won’t win or lose. You both worked really hard.”

I expected both of them to be great, but I didn’t know that they would develop to this extent. A smile appeared on Nabi Roze’s lips.

‘I can look forward to this festival of swords.’

In many ways, they were unprecedented disciples. We’ll have to go to see the exact details, but it seemed clear that it would create a huge stir. She took a brisk step.

Exactly ten minutes later, with the sound of whipping, the carriage with three people on board departed. The destination is the holy land Parjan. It was a noble ground where the sword festival was held.
