Academy’s Genius Swordmaster - Chapter 63

[ 63. Midterm (5) ]

#63

-I’m sorry Adeshan. Not bad though, right?

“Ah!”

With Ronan’s whisper, his vision darkened. Adeshan sat down, clutching his neck.

‘I was cut…!’

I definitely felt it. Something sharp and hot passed through the neck. Adeshan shook her hand and tilted her head.

“uh…?”

Contrary to the expectation that it would be full of blood, nothing was smeared on his hands. I hurriedly groped my neck, but there were no wounds. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside her.

“Here you are.”

“I’m Instructor Nabi Rose?!”

Adeshan jumped up in amazement. Looking around, she finally realized that this was the first arena where Nabi Rose’s classes were held.

The eliminated students gathered in groups of threes and fives to talk. On one side, medics were treating injured students. Nabi Roze said.

“Keep your head down.”

“yes?”

It was an incomprehensible order, but Adeshan did it once. Suddenly, Butterfly Rose began stroking her hair gently. Adeshan asked in an embarrassed voice.

“Instructor…?”

“Congratulations. three, etc.”

Adeshan’s body stiffened. It was as Ronan said. Her expression, which had been about to brighten for a moment, darkened again. A gloomy voice leaked out from under the loose hair.

“…I didn’t do anything.”

“You deserve respect just because you survived.”

“All I could do was follow my juniors around.”

“no. The blow he showed in the battle with Eiun wasn’t too bad. Even I can see it.”

“yes? How…?”

“Look over there.”

Adeshan raised her head. Only then did she notice that the students were all looking in one direction.

A video was projected on the southern wall of the arena. The video, which seemed to have been taken from the air as if borrowed from a bird’s eye view, projected the familiar image of the island. Adeshan’s eyes widened.

“Ooh, that’s where we had our exams, right?”

“okay. It was being relayed from the beginning of the test. Originally there were more viewpoints, but that one is the only one left.”

In the video, the battle between Ronan and Schlieffen was in full swing. The students were unable to take their eyes off the video while doing their own work.

“Shouldn’t we be conscientious and exclude those two from now on…?”

“It’s like a battle between wizards, not swordsmen.”

Two whirlwinds were writhing and tearing through the forest. The shapes of Ronan and Schlieffen were repeating their disappearance and reappearance for an instant.

Kaaang! Every time the two met, a metallic sound resonated enough to vibrate the arena. Nabi Roze said.

“Don’t try to refer to those two. They are strange in many ways.”

“…yes. I know.”

Adeshan habitually adjusted his collar. I wanted to analyze it, but my eyes couldn’t follow it. Schlieffen, who handles non-standard auras, and Ronan, who opposes them, were far outside the normal range. Nabi Rose, who looked at her for a moment, shrugged her eyebrows.

“Anyway, that coat doesn’t seem to belong to you. Is it the guy I think is right?”

“yes? This is… so…”

Adeshan hesitated, unable to answer. Butterfly Roze looked up at the assistant’s blushing face and snorted.

“done. It’s okay to be ferocious, so do your best.”

“It’s not like that!”

Adeshan shouted. She desperately denied this hasty rumor of infidelity, but she did not take off her coat. The battle in the video was approaching its climax. Caang! Cheers erupted from the mouths of the students whenever the metallic sound rang out.

****

Thirty minutes have passed since the battle began. After descending the hill, Ronan and Schlieffen were fighting using the forest as a battlefield. Shuaak! Every time Schlieffen swung his sword, the sword energy that was fired was cutting trees. Ronan, who barely ducked to avoid the sword, rushed at him and shouted.

“Get lost!”

Ronan stepped on the fallen tree and leaped. He swung vertically and swung his sword down. It was Navi Roze’s spinning sword that was accelerated by the flow of mana.

“Ugh…!”

It was not an attack that could be blocked or leaked. Schlieffen fired his sword forward and pulled away with the recoil. Kwaaang! The ground where he was was neatly cut in two, and the fallen leaves that were on the ground rose up. As Ronan pulled out the La Mancha from the ground, Schlieffen’s slash flew towards him.

“Patience…!”

Ronan hurriedly raised his sword. Kaga River! Sparks flew in the air and three metallic sounds rang out. Ronan, who was blinded by the kick of the fallen leaves, pulled back.

“This daring bastard. When did you copy that again?”

“It was a good technique.”

“I hate geniuses because of this.”

Ronan laughed. Three slashes condensed into one stroke. This was the technique Ronan used during his first encounter with Schlieffen. Ronan ran out and swung his sword again. The two blades that collided in succession came to a halt as they met.

The two were able to scan each other’s behavior through the blade of the bandit. Seeing Schlieffen’s face drained of blood, Ronan giggled.

“It’s worth seeing. Are you getting dizzy?”

Her dark blue hair, which had always been calm, had long been tousled. There were deep cuts on his right side and left shoulder blade. The blood flowing down his thighs did not stop, and if time passed, he would collapse from excessive bleeding. Schlieffen replied dryly.

“I don’t think that’s what you meant.”

“That’s right.”

But Ronan’s condition was never better. If it was severe, it was more severe. Drops of blood dripped from his forehead.

The aftermath of the storm sword, which could not be cut or avoided, carved dozens of deep and shallow cuts all over his body. The top, which had already become rags, was soaked in blood and clinging to the body. Feeling that his legs were slowly getting heavier, Ronan twitched his lips.

‘Damn, I have to put an end to it.’

Schlieffen was getting used to Ronan’s speed. Indeed, he was the greatest genius on the continent. We had to compete in a forest with many landmarks that would cause variables. Suddenly, the corners of Schlieffen’s mouth rose slightly.

“I am delighted. Ronan.”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I am serious. I am just grateful to Heaven for giving me an opponent like you.”

“This is a funny kid. Do you think you are the strongest in the world?”

Ronan laughed as if it were absurd. Of course it will be in a few years. Schlieffen, who passed the terms and conditions, was the best prosecutor on the continent that no one could deny.

However, not now. Just looking at Butterfly Rose’s Aura right away would make her stiff like a rat in front of a snake, and her throat would fly away without even being able to compete with the current swordsman, Jaipa. It was Ronan’s car to scold him for his arrogance.

“Of course, there are many people stronger than me in the world. It’s still a word. But I have the confidence to surpass them all.”

“Also Jaifa and Nabi Rose sister?”

“Yes.”

“This guy is worse than I thought.”

Ronan spat on the floor. Schlieffen continued.

“But you, Ronan, are the only ones who don’t feel that certainty. you will be stronger Maybe you’ll be stronger than me.”

“I know that.”

“I intend to show everything in this game. So you too…”

At that moment, the surrounding mana swirled into Schlieffen’s body and was sucked in. Ronan grabbed the hilt. Anticipation shook over La Mancha’s sword body after drinking blood. Schlieffen pushed the sword away and shouted as if vomiting.

“Show me everything!”

The bodies of the two fell. After reading the flow of mana, Ronan was preparing for another assault. The aura of the storm came up, wrapping around Schlieffen’s sword.

“Fuck again…!”

After spitting out curse words, Ronan hurriedly stopped. Schlieffen’s sword, which was scattered diagonally, drew a wide arc. Whoa! A huge half-moon-shaped sword was fired at Ronan.

‘You can’t cut it.’

The storm sword was different from other swords. If you cut it off hastily, you could be hit by a whirlwind that surged from the point of impact.

Most of the injuries sustained now were from the beginning of the fight. The sword that he unknowingly cut off turned into two whirlwinds and tore Ronan’s body apart.

“Huh!”

Ronan, who glared at the sword until it almost touched it, twisted his shoulder. Wedge liquid! The black air that brushed the nose with a paper gap disappeared behind Ronan.

It was the moment when the relieved Ronan kicked off the ground and was about to run. Hiss! Another sword that flew at an oblique angle landed under Ronan’s feet. Ronan’s eyes widened.

“이 개새끼가 잔재주를…!”

I couldn’t see it because it was overlapped with the sword energy of the previous time. Ronan hurriedly tried to bite his body, but Schlieffen fired again and stopped the action. Quaaaaaa

! !”

Blood splattered. In an instant, deep cuts were carved all over the body. Ronan swung his sword like a net with a sword strike. I thought the situation would get better for a while, but the wind that started blowing once continued to blow. Before long, a shapeless storm with a

radius It transformed into a whirlwind reaching up to 10M. The strands were a slashing whirlwind like a sword strike. Fallen leaves, rocks, and trees that were uprooted were flying up in the wind and disintegrating

.

Ronan’s figure disappeared from sight. No more screams were heard. Plump. Schlieffen collapsed on one knee, blood dripping from his side and shoulder, forming a small puddle under his feet

. .”

Schlieffen laughed self-deprecatingly. He hid his aura-loaded sword behind a normal sword skill and fired. It was an action that would have been unimaginable if it were him

. The two allowed slashes were both serious injuries.

‘Really… What a beast.’

It was only after strengthening the physical abilities of the whole body with mana that they could fight on an equal footing. Schlieffen spat out the blood in his mouth. At that time, the recognition bracelet on his wrist caught his eye. ‘Come to think of it, the winner

… Are you returning to…?’

It was cloudy before my eyes. Due to the shed a lot of blood, the normal accident could not happen.

The wind was slowly dying down. Objects that had risen high in the sky were falling. Most of them were disintegrated without a shape, but only a few large pine trees remained intact. The shadow cast by the tree cast over his head. The car was picking up a

knife to cut down properly. An indescribable chill ran through Schlieffen’s body. “No way.

”

Schlieffen looked up, a shadow came out from the top of the tree, his face stiffened as he met Ronan’s eyes

.

Ronan was splattering blood like someone just pulled from a cauldron of hell. He clung to a giant tree and desperately deflected the rushing wind

. ‘

Ronan grabbed the hilt of the sword. The moment he relaxed his mind, it seemed that his consciousness would be cut off. He immediately fell towards Schlieffen with his sword in front. Schlieffen, who jumped out of the seat and stood up, fired his sword as if to intercept. Suddenly!

Unstable The sword was cut in two by Ronan’s slash and disappeared into the sky. Schlieffen gritted his teeth.

“Ronan…!”

Ronan and La Mancha were approaching right in front of me. It was a distance that could not be avoided or blocked. Schlieffen, who raised his sword with all his might, took a shot at his feet. Kwaang! A whirlwind with a radius of about 1m surged towards Ronan.

‘ You crazy bastard!’

A blizzard hit Ronan. Every time he swung his sword for defense, the fall trajectory changed.

Ronan, who barely raised his head, glared at Schlieffen. Even if he was hit by bird droppings, he was in a dangerous state. However, it was a distance that the sword could not reach by a close distance.

‘Somehow, just once…!’

Eventually, Ronan gave up his defense and took a stance. In an instant, a gust of anticipation blew through the body. Schlieffen caught his breath and fired a slash. At that moment, a shock as if struck by lightning ran through Ronan’s whole body.

“Fuck!”

Ronan frowned at the unknown pain. But there was no time to question it. He swung his sword with the intention of repelling even a slash. In a split second, Ronan saw something like a very thin wave shooting down the path of his sword.

“uh?”

Awesome! A red line formed on Schlieffen’s chest and blood splattered. At the same time, a slash that twisted the trajectory hit Ronan’s neck. The figures of the two distorted and disappeared.
