Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 50
[ 50. Express Adventure Club (2) ]
#50
Ronan raised an eyebrow as he recalled the conversation he had with Baren the day before.
– It’s the habitat of Curse Eye…well, basically, it’s a place where people don’t reach and there’s plenty of mana. After all, curses are also a type of mana.
‘I should try everything I can.’
Bai Dian’s leyline perfectly suited that condition. Of course, I wasn’t just looking at the Curse Eye that might be there.
If you preoccupy the leyline overflowing with mana, it will help you develop sensitivity, and you can also aim for a pretty salty profit through by-products.
‘I can’t do it alone.’
I realized it again during the Gran Cappadocia incident. Responding to the crisis required a strong organization.
So Ronan created this club. I was thinking of gathering talented people who would be with me until the Advent crisis, and strengthening and expanding my strength by using the information I learned in my past life.
To do so, it was necessary to make the most of the memories of the previous life. Marja asked again.
“Why don’t you talk? There is something in the Baidian Mountains.”
“That’s hasty. There is a fairly large leyline. It will help you in many ways.”
Upon hearing the word leyline, the party’s eyes widened. Asher, who had stopped by Ronan and Penardo’s spring the other day, was even more surprised.
He remembered the improved mana manipulation ability and the amount of money he had earned in a single visit. Braum laughed heartily.
“ha ha ha! I don’t know, but it sounds like fun! So when are we leaving?”
“That’s the problem. What subjects are you all taking?”
Ronan handed out a piece of paper and made them draw a timetable. Perhaps it was because they were all honor students, the timetable was generally tight.
Ronan groaned. It took two days to go to the Baidian Mountains. That was the amount of time it would take, assuming that he was riding a swift courser rather than walking.
‘I can’t wait until vacation.’
For a smooth activity, it was necessary to secure as much time as possible. I wanted to hit everyone and let them do only club activities, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t stop them from learning what they wanted to learn.
Then Asher presented his timetable.
“Hey, Ronan. I drew everything.”
“Eh?”
Ronan frowned. Asher’s timetable was almost empty. Ronan said while pulling one side of Asher’s cheek.
“What are you doing, man? Are you a paid wannabe? ok?”
“Ah! Oh no! Uh, I took some courses early a while ago…!”
“what?”
The moment I heard that, a flash of light flashed in my head. Ronan let go of the hand pinching his cheek. Why didn’t I think of this when I also completed nine subjects early?
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh…”
“Good Asher…Very good. Everyone grab your weapons and follow me outside.”
“huh? suddenly?”
“ok. Originally, I was going to make a little plan, but it didn’t work.”
Ronan came out swinging La Mancha. The group followed him without knowing why.
At the center of Nest was a training space for various practical clubs. Standing in the middle of the training ground, Ronan looked at Marja and Braum and said.
“Now, I checked and found that the most time-consuming are the basic subjects. yes?”
“It doesn’t.”
“Wah ha ha! Because the basics are important!”
Ronan double-checked the subjects the two were taking. All of them were subjects that he had taken early on in the past. He perfectly remembered the posture and core of the subjects.
“Then what does this mean? You just have to complete all the basic subjects early.”
“…what?”
“There will be many things to go further in the future, but it went well. You guys will come here every time you have spare time from today.”
Ronan giggled as he put La Mancha on his shoulder. It was a good thing in many ways. Still, considering the danger of the Baidian Mountains, taking them right away was a little uneasy.
Marja and Braum’s expressions hardened. Ronan, who took turns looking at the two, clapped his hands and shouted.
“Then Marya, let’s start with the intermediate martial arts of Braum, the imperial swordsman. Everyone get ready.”
“Hey wait. What the hell is this…”
“Can’t you pull out the knife soon?”
right! Ronan hit Marya’s head with the scabbard. Reflexively pulling out her greatsword, Marya spat out a curse.
“evil! Are you crazy?!”
“The crazy thing is you still haven’t mastered the imperial swordsmanship. What if I’m still holding on to that easy thing?”
“You bastard, do you think everyone in the world is like you?!”
Marja protested as if it were unfair. right! right! right! Instead of answering, Ronan struck her on the top of her head in succession.
Marja, stricken by evil, desperately resisted, but it was impossible to stop La Mancha with a greatsword she hadn’t gotten used to yet. Finally, within a few minutes, the declaration of surrender came out.
“Aagh! okay! If you say you can’t do it!”
“That’s right. I used to use a wooden sword in class, but I know that because I have to wield that great sword here.”
Marja’s complexion turned white. Just thinking about it made it feel like my arms were detaching from my body. Braum, who was beating the scarecrow by himself at the time, spoke.
“I think that sounds like a great idea! However, sparring is an important subject for intermediate martial arts, so can I sparring with you, Ronan?”
“yes. You can do it with this girl when I’m not there.”
“With junior Marya? Isn’t the weight class too different though?”
Braum shrugged. In fact, Marja and Braum were about two heads taller than each other.
Ronan raised one corner of his mouth and glared at Marja, meaning that he would be pissed off anyway, so give him a blow. After thinking for a while, Marya shook her head,
“It’s okay. How can I hit you?”
“Wahhaha! Within the club, everyone is skinny! But I still need to check my skills, so give it a try!”
Braum shouted, punching herself in the chest. Her muscles were ready to rip through her school uniform at any moment. Marja sighed lightly and clenched her fists. “If so…” “It’s okay,
okay
? .”
Boom! Marja’s regime was thrust into Braum’s stomach. His eyes widened. Braum, who took a deep breath, sat down as it were
.
“Oh, I couldn’t control my strength. Are you okay?”
“Awesome…that’s amazing…!”
The impact through her muscles turned her stomach upside down, feeling like she had been hit with a hammer rather than a fist.
Marja held out her hand, and Braum stood up holding her hand, looking enlightened.
“I just really… I just thought I did a really good job joining this club…! I’ll teach you how to handle the Imperial sword and great sword… Gag!”
“Huh? Come to think of it, you’re also a greatsword.”
So, the two suddenly pulled out their greatswords and started sparring using only imperial swordsmanship. It was quite spectacular to see two greatswords the size of adult men clash in the air one after another
. Mr. It’s a good thing.’
Ronan gave a satisfied smile, then Asher hesitantly approached,
“Hey… what should I do, Ronan?”
“Oh right. You just have to fucking attack me with those weapons.”
Ronan pointed to the practice weapons piled up in a corner of the training ground and said, Asher, who thought he had heard it wrong this time, tilted his head
.
“You need to make more use of the fraudulent nature of telekinesis.”
Ronan explained that it was a waste of time to use the power of defense only, and he instructed Asher to attack him with all the skills he knew, not just weapons
. I can do it, but I need to do some training.”
Ronan, too, couldn’t be just doing physical training, Asher nodded reluctantly and chanted an incantation,
“Invisible Hand.”
As he moved his fingers, dozens of weapons rose in the air. The weapons, tilting their heads one by one and aiming at Ronan, seemed to be seeing the living soldiers
.
“That can’t be…!”
“Noisy dude. Hurry up.”
The bracelet Doron made was in good shape. It was much better than the last time I saw it. Asher swung his arm, and the
floating weapons rushed towards Ronan en masse. It flew through the wind. Looking at the blade, Ronan laughed,
“Looks like you really waited.”
Ronan practiced reading the flow of mana while dodging and knocking off weapons that flew in like bees, and he didn’t forget to create a sense of crisis by aiming La Mancha at Asher’s neck several times
. You can put a slow zone or something around you. Wizards are the first target in most fights.”
“Hee-ik…! Oh, okay.”
The day’s training only ended around dusk. Ronan carried Asher, who was unable to walk due to lack of mana, and Asher telekinetically carried Marya and Braum, who were completely
exhausted .
It was too much…”
It was night. After throwing the exhausted members into the dormitory, Ronan returned to Arena 1. After a long time, he moved his body close to the limit, and his whole body felt sore. “Are you okay? Water here.
”
“Thank you Adeshan.”
After finishing work, Adeshan handed me a water bottle. Now I was getting used to her kindness. Adeshan told me that there were quite a lot of applicants during the day as well
.
“I guess that’s the case. It’s because there’s no such talent…”
“Ahaha, I’ll try applying as long as it’s not for teaching assistant work.”
Adeshan smiled. She said that she had no time for club activities because of Nabi Rose’s teaching assistant job. Ronan, who emptied the water bottle, shook his head. “Even with Puha… I won’t accept it.
”
“Hey, what’s wrong with you all of a sudden?”
Adeshan laughed and slapped Ronan’s arm, but he said it from the bottom of his heart.
Lately, Ronan’s heart has been inclined to carry out General Adeshan’s will
. Since it has been revealed on the surface, they will go wild even more.’
The future was already irreversibly twisted. If Ronan bloomed her talent and made her a general, she would naturally become a target for the fanatics
. Attempts to assassinate would have continued. All those machinations were somehow avoided, and General Adeshan was born.
But now, she was not a regressor. Ronan did not want Adeshan to be in danger. Until this lifetime, he I didn’t want to drag her into the miserable mud
.
-Khiiik…
Just as I was thinking about that, the arena’s gate slowly opened. A girl wearing a robe pressed down through the crack in the door stepped in. Ronan and Adeshan’s attention was focused at the same time. “That kid
is …?” It was the same girl who came last night. Wavy silver-gray hair and bright red eyes. She looked at
Sheeta
who was dozing on top of Ronan’s head
.
The girl came right in front of Ronan and stopped. She stood still for a long time with her eyes fixed on Sheeta. Ronan, who couldn’t wait, spoke first. “Are you here for an interview?
”
“interview…?”
Ronan nodded. He gave a brief explanation of the limited-class adventure club.
There was a reason why there was plenty of time, but the energy that flowed from the girl at first glance was unusual. The silent girl’s lips parted.
“If you go into your club…is there…?”
“yes?”
“If I go into your club… can I see and touch him…?”
“That kid? Are you Sita?”
Ronan glanced up at Sheeta. Sheeta, who had just woken up, was staring at her. Ronan nodded.
“Yeah, Sheeta follows me almost every day. Is that likely?”
“Then… I’ll see. interview.”
“is it so. What is your name and grade?”
“…Ophelia. Magic 3rd year.”
“Wa, I thought you were in the second year at most, but you were in the third year. It’s the same as the entrance exam. All you have to do is to blow the magic engineering scarecrow with one skill you are most confident in.”
Ophelia nodded and stood in front of the scarecrow. For an instant, she could see mana gathering in her hands. It wasn’t the usual bluish color, it was blood-red mana.
is it auror? The moment Ronan thought so, Ophelia started chanting. In the meantime, she was looking at Sheeta.
“Eh?”
For an instant, Ronan’s eyes widened. A whirlwind of red liquid was gathering at her fingertips. Sensing Ronan’s gaze, Ophelia shrugged her shoulders.
“hot…!”
As if she had made a serious mistake, she discarded the old magic and chanted a new one. A black aura hung over the place where the red liquid had disappeared.
“Shadow Claw.”
Ophelia’s extended shadow became a huge claw and clawed at the scarecrow. Adeshan’s eyes widened.
“Ah, dark attribute magic…!”
It was the first time I actually saw it. It was a magic as rare as psychokinesis or light attribute magic. But Ronan’s interests were elsewhere.
I saw it clearly. The magic Ophelia tried to use at first was a magic that deals with the same kind of blood as Sheeta. Ronan opened his mouth as if possessed by something.
“…pass.”
