Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 164

164. The Festival of Swords (7)

#164

“You passed alone?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. This was pretty shocking news. As he said, I thought six people were too few. He smiled and asked the guide.

“What the hell did you do?”

“I don’t know the details. However, the face of the friend who gave me this news turned white. It seems that something out of the ordinary has happened.”

The guide clicked his tongue. Ronan asked several more times, but he only repeated that he didn’t know. There was a feeling that he was deliberately hiding something, but there was nothing to be questioned about.

Shortly thereafter, a base for the successful applicants to spend two days appeared. It was a space where only important buildings were pulled out of the village. Ronan, Schlieffen and the girl moved to the restaurant as if they had promised. I felt like the skin on my stomach would stick to my back because I hadn’t eaten anything all day.

The restaurant was built of logs like the other buildings in the base. According to the guide, you can eat grilled wild boar and beer as you like, but it was a very desirable restaurant.

When I opened the door and entered, a delicious smell wafted in with warmth. About 20 people were already eating in the spacious building. Seeing that they were talking in a very excited atmosphere, it seemed that they were the passers-by from another group. Ronan’s gaze, looking around, stopped when he saw a familiar face.

“What’s up?”

Ronan chuckled. Nabi Rose was sitting at the table waiting for the dish to be served.

There was no one around her despite the well-lit seats at the table for six people. Only Daetaedo Ursa, who is almost 2m tall, was leaning on her side and keeping the seat next to her. I thought I knew why no one approached me. Ronan, who rolled his hand and brought it to his mouth, called out to her loudly.

“Instructor Butterfly Rose!”

“…Are you here now?”

Nabi Roze raised her head. It sounds obvious, but there didn’t seem to be any injuries anywhere. It was the same as when I was hungry, so I looked a little thin. The girl who suddenly saw her opened her mouth in admiration.

“Wow, that’s big.”

“Yes?”

Butterfly Rose tilted her head. It was an expression that he did not expect because he said it by looking at himself. Throwing away Ronan’s collar, she sprinted toward Butterfly Rose. Then he looked up at her and said.

“hug me.”

“Wait a minute, what the hell are you…”

Nabi Roje showed a puzzled look, but the girl was reckless. Jumping up like a rabbit, she climbed onto Butterfly Rose’s lap. Seeing the girl bury her face in Nabi Rose’s arms, Ronan clenched his fists in amazement.

“There is no case like that…!”

“It’s soft.”

The girl began to pat her face on Butterfly Rose’s chest as if she were a cat. As expected, it was a deep movement to dismiss as childish. Butterfly Rose, who was dumbfounded, turned her gaze to Ronan.

“Ronan. What is this child?”

“A pervert in the skin of a child. We need to get rid of it quickly.”

“Hmm…?”

A vein rose from Ronan’s temple. He hated that swanky girl, and he hated himself for being genuinely jealous of her.

‘Fuck. i envy you.’

I was more envious because I knew what heinous things were hiding under that shirt. I don’t know if he thinks it’s an immature child or because women are used to things like that, but Nabi Rose didn’t show any reaction. He started stroking the girl’s hair gently as if he was cute.

shit life. I should have been born a woman too. After hearing Ronan’s answer, Butterfly Roze shrugged his eyebrows.

“Don’t joke. You two seem pretty close.”

“Uh…so you’re in the same contest as me…”

Ronan scratched his head. Come to think of it, since we met, I had never called him by his first name. Ronan stabbed the back of the girl who was hiding her face as if savoring it.

“Hey, come to think of it, what’s your name?”

“What is it?”

The girl turned her head. His voice was strangely nervous, and he seemed to be in the middle of having fun, but why are you interfering? After being silent for a while, she opened her mouth.

“Lynn.”

“It is short. Is there such a thing as a castle?”

“doesn’t exist. You’ll be cute later, so wait a little longer.”

“…a crazy bitch.”

Ronan shook his head. From the moment we met, she was the same girl. Anyway, Rin was a name that sounded very exotic. Is it because of his unusual appearance and is he not a member of the Empire? Butterfly Rose, who was stroking Rin, smiled.

“I met an interesting relationship.”

“Well…you can see that. But aren’t you surprised?”

“Because there are many geniuses in the world.”

Actually, Nabi Rose was a great man who had been to and from the battlefield since she was a snoring. She smiled as she looked at Ronan and Schlieffen alternately. “Anyway, it was pretty rough for the first

test, but you did well. . Well, it’s only natural for the two of you.”

“It wasn’t very difficult. What’s up anyway? You don’t look very good.”

Ronan asked anxiously. I felt it from a while ago, but there was a strange sullen look on the face of Butterfly Rosé. She sighed lightly and opened her mouth.

“Huh… There aren’t that many swordsmen with guts. I thought at least one would come at me.”

“…What kind of crazy guy in the world wants to fight the former swordsman?”

He was a person who needed self-objectification. I expected how the first test would be conducted. Most of them would have screamed and ran away just by making eye contact.

“At this point, I miss the past. Every time I took a step, I got a call for sparring. The agony they shouted is still fresh in my ears.”

“that’s right. Come to think of it, the participants said they could apply for sparring.”

“okay. The first test is over, so now it’s possible. If there’s a guy you don’t like, go and run amok. It is one of the few places where you can legally commit murder.”

“Whoa…”

That was interesting information. In the first place, I came all this way to find a useful colleague, but there was nothing like sparring to see my skills. Ronan glanced around the restaurant with a sinister smile on his face. A few people whose eyes met shrank as if they had been electrocuted.

not me please not me It was in the midst of Ronan’s search for talent. A familiar voice came from behind.

“Do you have some time there?”

“ok?”

Ronan turned his head. And it was frozen in place. I almost drew my knife and almost blew my throat. The hooded man who drove people to madness in the first test stood there.

“you…!”

“okay. I said hello a few hours ago. You can rest assured that your body is fine.”

The man laughed slyly. It was only a few hours before I lost consciousness and was carried on a stretcher, but it was an amazing recovery. But that wasn’t what mattered now. A reddish aura still bloomed over his shoulder. Ronan growled lowly.

“What’s your business?”

“Why are you so sharp? go out and talk The sunset was over.”

The man raised his thumb behind him and pointed at the door. It was an impudent attitude, as if he knew nothing. Ronan chuckled.

“This baby ….”

The life that leaked out without knowing spread out everywhere. The bustling restaurant fell into silence. After thinking for a while, Ronan looked back at Nabi Rosé and said.

“…I’ll be back for a while. Are you sure it’s legal to kill?”

“Only if the sparring is accomplished.”

“thank you.”

thud! The man and Ronan left the restaurant. Those who were intimidated started talking or eating only after about 3 minutes had passed. Rin, who had been staring at the door, tilted her head.

“Hmm?”

****

Ronan followed the hooded man. His hand was placed on the hilt of the sword so that he could slit his throat at any time if he did any trickery. After walking for about five minutes, the man moved to the back of a building that looked like an inn. A sheer cliff juts out toward the west as the sun sets.

“This is the place I saw earlier. Aren’t they awesome?”

The man standing at the edge of the cliff pointed to the west and said, Even though we hadn’t reached the top yet, the scenery around us was much better. The blazing sunset set the world on fire.

It’s awesome. It was hard to deny, but Ronan, who was uncomfortable with it, did not affirm it. Instead, he replied, clutching the hilt.

“What’s the matter?”

“Ah sorry. I got sentimental for a while…”

The man smiled bitterly. Ronan was thinking of pushing the man out of there if he only took one more time. Throwing Ymir at his feet and then triggering the shock wave would have made it possible to disguise it as a rock accident. It doesn’t matter if you just push it. The man sighed and looked at Ronan and said.

“Then I will say it with a grain of salt. My name is Russell Crona. I was the one responsible for the mysterious incident you experienced at the end of the first test.” “

…What?”

“My Aura’s ability is to shake the minds of those weaker than me and make them lose their reason. I’m very fortunate that no one died or was seriously injured among them. I sincerely apologize for the embarrassing experience.”

Ronan’s eyes widened. The man who introduced himself as Russell confessed that he had done dozens of contestants going crazy. Judging from his eyes and voice, it didn’t seem like a lie. This was completely unexpected. It was definitely silenced

. I thought it was called for the purpose, but Ronan, who was dumbfounded, opened his mouth.

“…why did you do that?”

“I wanted to check your skills.”

“Check your skills? For what?”

“I’m… recruiting companions to kill demons.”

Russell’s face was serious, and Ronan frowned at the incomprehensible sound

.

“It’s literally. You can’t even call that a human being. Did you know that there was only one group from Aran Farjan across the mountain?”

It was the story the guide told me when they were coming up to the base. Ronan nodded. Russell’s face grew even more serious

.

“I didn’t say I didn’t know that.”

“Perhaps he didn’t tell you he knew it. It was horrible. One of the moderators with whom he had connections told me.”

Russell’s voice was trembling. He looked at the sunset every once in a while, like a man trying to wash away his fears with sunlight. He touched his wrist and opened his mouth. “The devil has cut off everyone’s wrists except himself.

” .with no gaps for the other contestants to abstain.”

“what?”

Ronan’s face contorted. The content was so unconventional that I thought I had heard it wrong. What did I do with my wrist? Russell continued, “I came to

Farjan after him in the first place. If we continue like this, all participants will be at risk. ”
