Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 60

[ 60. Interim evaluation (2) ]

#60

At best, I was guessing that it was a nomination system, but it didn’t seem to be. Suddenly, Kratir, who was standing next to Nabi Rose, clapped his hands. match! Ronan’s eyes darkened.

“uh?”

It was the same feeling as when he was kidnapped by Kratyr the other day. Fortunately, it didn’t last long. My eyes brightened again with the feeling that my five organs were swollen. Seeing the unfamiliar scenery, Ronan frowned.

“What the hell.”

The sound of crashing waves echoed everywhere. The damp sea breeze smelled of salt.

Ronan lowered his head and looked around. The beach, made up of only rocks without sand, was dark gray. Dark blue waves crashed beneath the precipice that stretched along the coastline.

‘Is it… an island?’

On the land side, huge broad-leaved trees were densely lined. It was a landscape close to primitiveness that did not feel human touch. Adeshan, who was right next to her, was looking at her hands and feet with her eyes wide open.

“Waaah…this is Kratyr-sama’s space magic. It’s the first time I’ve experienced it myself.”

Most of the students showed similar reactions. Ronan tilted his head.

“Is it a place that even seniors don’t know about?”

“huh? Yes. The place where you see the midterm evaluation changes every time. right! your armor!”

“Everyone pay attention.”

Adeshan was about to take off his greaves again. Nabi Rose’s voice echoed in the sea breeze. She was looking around at the students with a trunk bag in one hand. Naviroze, who identified the number of people, continued.

“good. It seems that no one is missing, so let me explain the rules of the midterm evaluation.”

“yes!!”

“As you all know, my classes are oriented toward ‘practical combat’. I’d like to send all of you on a field trip to the battlefields of the South…but realistically, that’s impossible.”

The students’ faces went white. Only Ronan curled his lips in admiration. it’s a battlefield Come to think of it, there was such a way.

“So, this midterm evaluation was conceived as an alternative. You are randomly placed on this small island and must fight until only one remains. Everyone, look at this.”

Nabi Rose opened the trunk. Inside the bag were well over a hundred thin black bracelets. She continued to explain.

“It is an awareness bracelet designed for testing. The moment you wear it, you’ll be transported to a random location on the island. It is also a device that hides those who drop out, but if it is likely to come off, cause death, or suffer incurable damage, the wearer is forcibly moved to Phileon.”

“her.”

Ronan laughed. It was the first time I had seen such a large amount of expensive space-type magic tools. It was possible during the Phileon Academy to use such things only for testing.

Of course, that wasn’t the only surprise. Nabi Roze’s words meant to fight without worrying that the opponent would die.

“Don’t be afraid of getting hurt. The medical staff and the best recovery magicians in Phileon are on standby. If you’re injured and transferred, you can be treated right away.”

She also added that there is no separate foul rule. In short, it was a story about forming a team for a surprise attack and not stopping them.

‘This is why everyone came dressed like that.’

Everyone seemed to know why they had come fully prepared. It was not uncommon for students to bring ranged weapons or torso-sized backpacks that were not used in class.

“Whoa… I’m nervous. If we run into each other, would you like to be on the same side?”

“Not bad. I’m honestly a little scared too.”

“Kikiki, it must be fun catching the juniors again this time.”

It was shocking even though I knew it in advance. It was around the time when the students’ murmur grew louder. Nabi Roje started calling out students one by one.

“Then come out one by one and take the recognition bracelets. Schlieffen Siniban de Grancia.”

Schlieffen walked out silently and put on the bracelet. In an instant, his shape distorted and then he disappeared. Exclamations erupted from everywhere. It wasn’t long before Adeshan’s name was called.

“Next Adeshan.”

“Fu… even if you run into them, don’t ever look at them. Understand?”

“I will try.”

“Ahaha what is that? Then see you later!”

Adeshan, wearing a bracelet, disappeared. Before long, the murmur of students could be heard nearby.

“What are you not an assistant? What was he thinking?”

“The person who met him is completely free. Because one person eats and goes in.”

Ronan narrowed his brows. Bastards like that were everywhere. I was in the middle of looking around for the student I was just talking to.

“Next Ronan.”

“yes.”

Nabi Rose called Ronan. As Ronan stepped forward, the group of students split on both sides.

It was thanks to the nerds who were related to Cardan, who had gone bald, during the interview. Ronan’s nickname among seniors in the third year and above was solidifying to the extent of ‘destroyer of seniors’.

Ronan picked up the bracelet. Nabi Rose, who hadn’t said a word, quietly opened her mouth.

“Do it in moderation.”

“I agree with what the instructor said that practice is important.”

“You…”

“Hello.”

Ronan wears a bracelet. Immediately, my vision blurred, and a completely different landscape appeared. Tall trees sprang up all around. The faint sound of the waves could be heard in the middle of the forest seen from afar.

“Looks like a ghost…pulling out hair.”

A spontaneous laugh came out. I really couldn’t adapt to space magic even after experiencing it. As I was about to stretch and move my steps, a question suddenly crossed my mind.

‘wait for a sec. Is it right for me to cut this?’

Ronan stopped in place. He could cut mana that touched his weapon.

There couldn’t be anything more boring than cutting off a student’s throat after exhilarating knife action. It was a car that I was thinking about while touching my chin.

Suddenly, the space in front of me about five steps shook and a male student appeared.

“uh?”

The male student immediately became alert and began to look around. It seemed that it was not unusually nervous to be frozen.

It was at this moment that he turned his head to the left. Ronan’s eyes met, and he waved his hand and sent a greeting.

“hi.”

The boy’s eyes widened as if they would pop out. He shouted, clutching the polearm in his hand.

“You you!”

“Calm down, calm down. Do you consider yourself lucky?”

“die!”

Suddenly, a male student came running ahead with a polearm. The mana-soaked spear blade was shining bluish. Ronan sighed and lowered his stance. Whoa! As soon as I lowered my head, a blue arc was drawn above my head.

“I’m telling you to calm down.”

Ronan tugged at the hilt. Two sword strikes were fired at the spearhead. It was the moment when the male student was about to retract the polearm.

thud! The polearm’s head fell to the floor at the same time as the spearhead was cut into three pieces. Ronan tripped over the leg of a male student with a bewildered expression.

“Ah!”

“I have something to think about, so wait a moment.”

Ronan pointed the tip of his knife at the boy’s neck and said. It was a car that I was wondering if there was no way to find out. The male student, who was clenching his teeth and shaking, suddenly raised his upper body roughly.

“shit! Don’t insult me!”

“uh?! Yumma!”

It was the moment when the tip of the knife was about to touch the neck of the male student. hooked The tactile sensation of stabbing something other than flesh passed through my fingertips.

Shuuk! Suddenly, the student’s shape distorted and disappeared. Ronan, who had been dumbfounded for a while, scratched his head and murmured.

“…that’s good.”

It didn’t seem like a catastrophe had happened because it was not a shield system, but a form that sensed and transmitted threats. Before long, a small smile crept across his lips.

“Then you can just do it.”

Suddenly, Ronan, aiming at the top of the tree, threw La Mancha. La Mancha, which flew in a straight line, dug in between the dense leaves. Crisp! A girl in leather fell from a tree at the same time as the knife came out the other side of the leaf.

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

A long bow was clutched in her hand. The girl fell headfirst to the floor before she had time to perform her fall.

As it was, it was a height that would have broken its neck and died. However, as soon as the top of her head touched the ground, her form distorted and disappeared. Twigs and arrows fell on the spot where the girl had disappeared.

“You should have hidden your presence a bit more.”

Ronan walked away giggling and picked up La Mancha. It seemed that the magic was activated even in other types of deaths other than fights. Well, that level of stability would have been necessary to take such a crazy test.

The number of competitors seemed to be a little over a hundred. Ronan moved in the direction where the wave castle was heard. There was no particular reason, I just wanted to see the sea.

“You guys!”

squeak.

“Ahhh! I am weak…! Other bastards…!”

squeak.

By the time we got out of the forest, we ran into two more students. One tried to pounce and one ran away, but both were cut down on sight. Ronan licked his lips and murmured.

“It doesn’t bleed, so I don’t like writing it….”

Before long, a cliff and a grand horizon appeared. The sea was a deep dark blue that I had never seen before. The cliff was as sharp as if it had been cut with a saw, and the difference in height from the sea seemed to be a good 30 meters.

Kang…!

Kang…!

Then, a metallic sound came through the wind. The sound was sharp, like the sound of blades clashing.

“hmm?”

Ronan turned his head in the direction of the sound. Not far away, students could be seen fighting fiercely. Ronan’s eyes widened when he saw the face of one of them.

“Adeshan?”

Every time he swung his sword, his straight black hair fluttered. Perhaps it was because he studied hard, his swordsmanship was close to standard. Ronan clicked his tongue.

‘…the knife is too slow.’

However, unlike the plausible appearance, the battle itself was completely inferior. Despite the difference in height by more than one head, Adeshan was pushed back. The female student who was sword-to-sword with her giggled.

“Ahaha! Resist a little more!”

“Keugh…!”

In fact, it was closer to one side playing with it. Adeshan swung her longsword vertically. The female student evaded the attack by lightly twisting her shoulder and then kicked Adeshan in the stomach.

“Gagging!”

“I never thought I would be the lucky one.”

Ronan’s eyes widened. It was the same voice I had heard in the waiting area. After thinking for a while, Ronan kicked off the ground and ran out. Adeshan shouted as he swung his sword continuously.

“Kacha! Don’t play around, do it right…!”

“I will play with it more. What would you do if you were tall and pretty? You are so weak.”

Adeshan bit his lip. A female student named Kacha was intentionally avoiding a fatal blow and throwing a sword strike. Fit! Adeshan had a slight cut on his shoulder.

It was a moment when a mischievous smile appeared on Katya’s lips again. Feeling stunned for a moment, she turned her head. Ronan’s face was right in front of him.

“uh?”

I didn’t even notice what was coming. Ronan tugged at the hilt. Two stabs were fired at the female student.

Chow! Blood gushed out at the same time as the blade that had dug into his shoulder came out. The knife fell from her hand.

“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

“Is it fun to play with a cock? I have fun too.”

bang! Ronan kicked her in the chest, knocking her backwards. No fatal or crippling injuries, no transmission. Adeshan shouted in a puzzled voice.

“Roronan?!”

“Oh yeah. The seniors do the finishing touches.”

Ronan pointed at Kacha with the tip of his chin. Losing the use of both arms, she was rolling on the floor screaming. There was no composure to be found on her face, which was a mess of tears and runny nose. Kacha looked at Adeshan and appealed.

“Ah Adeshan! help me…! We are in sync!”

Adeshan did not answer. Taking a few deep breaths, she swung the knife. Kacha’s appearance disappeared with a clear sound of gong. Adeshan sighed as he planted the tip of his sword into the ground.

“Whoa…”

“Well done. I usually hesitate even though I know I won’t die.”

“…First of all, thank you. What are you doing here?”

“I just came here because it was noisy. Now I’m thinking about what to do with my senior.”

Ronan said calmly. For an instant, goose bumps ran down Adeshan’s spine. forgot for a while Although it was temporary, it was a relationship in which the boy in front of her had to point her sword at each other.

And it was no exaggeration to say that Ronan was the most dangerous enemy on the island. Adeshan, who gripped the hilt tightly, spoke in a trembling voice.

“…don’t look at me.”

“That is my heart. Shall we take a walk?”

Ronan left those words and started to walk on his own. After hesitating for a moment, Adeshan followed him. Soon after, the two people side by side walked along the coastal cliff.

“The scenery is nice. If you look at the color of the sea, it looks like the southern sea, but I don’t know where it is.”

“Why aren’t you cutting? Do you think I’ll be happy with this?”

“I keep worrying about that. Seniors make it really hard for me.”

“…what does that mean?”

Ronan twitched his lips. He had been thinking the most about Adeshan’s treatment all these days. Much more than it was around the time of the Dolan incident.

‘It’s too dangerous.’

The fight against Nebula Clazier was about to intensify. In every corner of the continent, there must be monsters like Brygia.

The war against the venerable bastards that existed even before the Empire was founded would be, as Sarante said, extremely long and arduous.

Ronan lifted his head slightly and looked at Adeshan’s profile. Gray eyes and white skin first caught my eye. The high, sharp nose stood proudly.

I didn’t know her well in her previous life, but she was a very pretty person. Her long black hair was waving in the sea breeze. Laughing bitterly, Ronan stopped in place.

“Um fine. I have decided.”

“decision?”

“Pull out the knife. Adeshan.”

Standing with his back to the cliff, Ronan faced Adeshan. Her face hardened. Ronan spoke calmly.

“I will not use a knife. And if the senior’s attack brushes against me even once, I’ll take the loss.”

“Are you kidding me…? Are you playing with me like Kacha?”

“It is not a joke or a play. Instead, if the senior loses…”

Ronan dragged his horse. The clenched lips did not come off.

Stop fooling around and go back to your hometown and cut some cloth. I couldn’t possibly say that one word. Ronan, barely making up his mind, was the car to follow.

“surface?”

“So… nonsense… Niimi!”

Suddenly, Ronan ran into Adeshan. He wrapped his arms around Adeshan’s waist and pulled her back.

“Kyaaaagh!”

It was the car she was about to scream, blushing. A shadow fell over the two heads.

Soon after, something heavy fell on the spot where Adeshan had been. Wow! With a roar, a huge column of dust shot up. The contemplative Adeshan backed away.

“What is this all of a sudden…!”

“Heh, I’ll save this.”

A voice came from the dust. It was a somewhat greasy mid-bass. Before long, a bald head in heavy armor walked out of the dust. A war hammer slung across his shoulder was ignorantly large.

“nice to meet. Ronan. I’ve heard a lot of rumors.”

“What are you?”

“It’s an Eiun Dalran. Can we talk for a minute?”

Adeshan’s eyes widened. Attached to Ronan, she whispered.

“I’m the top of the fourth and third grade…!”

Ei-wun was a master of the battle hammer that stood out in Nabi Rose’s class. As if to disprove him, the spot where the hammer had just landed was dug up like a meteorite had fallen. said Ronan, spitting on the floor.

“I don’t know if it’s Eiun or what, but tell me about your business. We were in the middle of an important talk, but the idiot…”

“As expected, it’s rough as rumors say. Well, it’s not a big deal…it’s because public opinion in our grade isn’t good for various things. As the chief, I came to do something like referee.”

Eiwoon lowered the hammer head to the floor. thud! I simply put it down, but a dull sound rang out.

“Are you going to teach me how to poop in my mouth when I’m in 3rd grade?”

“Well, I also have a plan to guide a promising junior. If you get drunk on your skills, you will become arrogant. As you. If you fail at the beginning of the exam, that bridge of the nose will be a little bit broken.”

“Eun. I got them all.”

bang! bang! At that time, two other big people landed on either side of Eiun. Both of them were bald, similar to Eiun. Seeing the tight threesome, Ronan snorted.

“They’re just running around each other. Aren’t you embarrassed?”

“You can’t save face in a real fight.”

“What bullshit. I was asking if it would be embarrassing if three bald mountains were gathered around. Humanely, pull up some grass and plant it on your head, man.”

“……You really can’t do it.”

Suddenly, Eiun leaped into the air. Whoa! The battle hammer was falling in an ignorant arc. Ronan lightly backed away and dodged the attack. Wow! The hammer slammed into the spot where Ronan had been. damn At the same time as the crack spread, the entire corner of the cliff where Ronan was standing was separated. Ronan laughed.

“You are doing the same thing.”

It was the car that Ronan was about to climb up with a light leap. The two big guys behind Eiun threw themselves at Ronan. It was a motion that could not come out unless they had the intention of falling down the cliff together.

‘Was it bait from the beginning?’

Ronan tugged at the hilt. Awesome! The bouncing sword strikes tore the heads and sides of the two men apart. The student with the torn head swayed and disappeared.

Blood spurted from the side of the other. However, he embraced Ronan’s body, ignoring his injuries. The two began to fall down the precipice. Ronan murmured as he looked up at the cliff.

“Damn Adeshan.”

Kwaaang! Dust exploded from above again. It seemed that Eiun’s hammer had been thrust down once more.

Ronan, who held La Mancha in reverse, thrust a knife into the bald man’s back. As the size disappeared, the body regained freedom. The ground was moving away at a rapid pace.
