I Killed an Academy Player - Chapter 31
[ Runia Aden (3)]
Aden’s reputation in this world is high.
A strictly non-fighting group that trains numerous guardians.
Their mass examinations and tactics are so sophisticated and systematic that they are even invited and taught to the military of each country, not just the Guardians.
Garand Aden reigned supreme in Aden, boasting absolute charisma. The successor has not yet been decided.
This is because Garand’s children’s generation did not show any talent that he could recognize.
Although the family’s major and minor affairs were handed over to the current head of the family, the true meaning of ‘succession’ remained undecided and remained ambiguous for 30 years.
Finally, a successor candidate recognized by the Geomje appeared in Aden. That’s two too.
Runia Aden.
Arisha Aden.
The Aden family was confused even though the brazen sword emperor had designated two successor candidates.
Even in a herd of animals, the hierarchy that determines the leader is a strict law.
Even more so, humans. It goes without saying that if you are a martial artist who pursues martial arts.
There cannot be two leaders who will succeed the great sword world called Aden. Whether you are from the main family or from a branch family, much less are you just a trainee from a secular family.
There is nothing wrong with having a lot of limbs. But there is only one head.
The Geomje, who had absolute authority within the family, designated two candidates. If so, conflict is inevitable.
It is not just the pursuit of martial arts and strength that can lead to internal divisions over all the interests involved.
however.
There is no conflict in Aden.
There is no discussion about who will be the next head of the family.
It’s simple logic.
If the alpha of the pack selects the next alphas, one side is so overwhelming that conflict itself cannot occur.
You can tell just by looking at the fact that the Five Swords of the First Swordsman, one of the most prominent swordsmen in Arden, are following her.
Neither the family members nor those in power have any doubts about her future succession. Even competitor Arisha Aden.
Runia Aden was a being of such skill.
“Think of it as experiencing a special war.”
It took about 3 seconds for Runia Arden’s words to be remembered by the B team students.
What kind of express suddenly?
What is express? In short, it is a non-standard grade.
There is no standard by which to measure an entity that is different from the first class, so it is broadly described as a special class.
Examples include Marie Dunaref, who awakened as a vampire, and Bicheon Yacha Hwaran, who was freed from the golden pheasant.
It is a monster that can take on an army alone, and it is a disaster that cannot guarantee victory even if dozens of guardians join forces.
It is a monster that most Guardians have never encountered in their lives.
And Runia Aden is a monster among monsters who can deal with such monsters.
-Quaang!
-Quaaaagh!
The sound of explosions continues to echo from all directions.
The screams of fellow students can be heard intermittently from the cover created by the flat stadium crashing and rising.
Ah, the stadium must have been a neat square stone platform. Now I can’t even find its original form.
“I never thought I’d experience a special battle twice in my life. I can’t get used to it… I
completely sympathize with Yeager’s lament. I’ve experienced it many times, but all of the things with a ‘special’ rating are I can’t get used to it because they’re monsters.
“What is that?”
“Of course Lark… Who is he?”
At my words, Jaeger looked at someone holding his right hand. Before the disaster struck, Jaeger thought it was Lark. He is one of the classmates who dragged him by the collar.
“Lark… oh wow.”
In the middle of the shattered stadium, Lark is unconscious, foaming. Ah, poor guy.
“Isn’t senior Runia Arden too much? Why are you being so serious with students…”
“I saw that too. If I were serious, half of it would have evaporated in 10 seconds.”
I slightly turn my head from the stone floor that rises like a strange sculpture to check the center of the binge.
What I see is the embodiment of violence indiscriminately blowing away Team B students. “ There
was too much force. If you are not sure, be prepared to change your path at any time.”
“Do not blurt out the name of the technique. Are you planning to reveal everything to the other party?”
“If you want to attack together, do at least a simple combination. This is how we become entangled and destroy ourselves.”
As expected, he is a swordsman. He is very good at teaching. In that short period of time, he suggests shortcomings and ways to fix them. Unlike Arisha, who has a
hard time holding her own, Runia is a mature swordsman. Unlike named party members, he is a genius who doesn’t even need to be trained separately.
‘How narrow has it been?’
In the previous episode, I fought alongside Runia, who quickly joined in the event of Arisha’s death, several times. Not only
that, but I also received instruction from her, saying she would train me. If it was my master who taught me how to use a spear, it is no exaggeration to say that I learned actual fighting skills from her. .
Until the end of the previous episode, I couldn’t get enough of her. If it weren’t for Park Ga’s male-biased tendencies, I wouldn’t have been surprised if she took my place. -Gwaang! If this goes on, it’ll be about 30 seconds until Team B is wiped out. Honestly, there’s a
gap
. Although he is looking for an
opportunity to stab
…
They were only looking at me.
This was captured.
Are they not even giving me a chance to use the others to fight together?
“Jaeger.”
“Huh?”
“Geom-hwan is flying. Bow down.”
“What is that… kuhehehe!”
-Quaaaaang!
Jaeger, who was late in responding to my warning, was hit on the head by a small sword that flew through the cover and flew out of the arena. “I want to give him
a little guidance , but “It’s not up to standard.”
The anxiety I had hoped for became reality. A 1:1 situation with Runia Aden was prepared. The
14 knight wizards could not endure Runia’s kind teachings and were evaporated in a one-turn kill.
In front of monsters like Runia. Guys with mediocre strength are meaningless.
The strong ones with the nickname ‘special’ are the ones who shake up the battlefield on their own.
“Can I surrender?”
“If you want to get the lowest score, that’s okay.”
“….. ..”
“But you won’t be like that. “You don’t want to throw away this long-awaited opportunity.”
Yes, it’s just as Runia said. As
I don’t have any special eyes or abilities, the goal I should
aim for is Runia Aden. Fighting her 1:1 is a study in itself. So I didn’t even worry about forming a party on the spot.
If I was going to replace the player, I would eventually have to overcome her with my own strength.
“…….”
“…….”
We We stared at each other in silence.
The crowded stage was now only left with me and Runia.
* * * *
The appearance of Runia Aden and a big name called Ogham thrilled the students.
The actual next head of the famous Aden style. A swordsman. A heroine. Special Won. She
is an icon of the times who is revered by everyone who pursues guardianship.
Even though the force she showed against Team B students was one-sided, it was impressive. I
thought humans could become that strong.
“Is there only one left? “Who is he?”
“I saw him in the gymnasium. “I’m a level 5 knight.”
“It’ll be over soon. I’m betting on a 3-second cut.”
“Hey, finish it quickly and let’s go to the next team.”
“Do you think Runia will do it again?”
“It’s an honor to see Runia fight…” ”
Among the first years, Doron or Arisha are the best. It would have been more worth seeing if it had been that level.”
The voices from the audience could be heard even in the half-destroyed stadium.
Nevertheless, the two did not waver an inch. It was as if the waves of language flowing from hundreds of people could not disturb their sense of the beautiful scenery.
-Kwajik!
Runia’s sword cuts the ground. The stone floor is pulverized and dust rises. Hides the sword and feet and hides the stance. Do you
jump in or slash up? The distance is 15m. What does that mean at that distance──
-Kaang!
Runia’s feet stretched out. The cut pieces of stone rained down like bullets. At the same time, her body disappeared. Her
new form arrived right in front of Corin Locke, who was silently hit by a stone bullet. A surprise attack
without a signal. Naturally, it is kind in practice. It goes without saying that there is no starting signal.
However, it cannot be denied that it was a clearly different attitude from what Runia has shown towards the students so far.
– Kang! Kakang!
They intertwine and collide and make a hissing sound. It is not just a defense, but even a counterattack. A split second. The sum of the division is three.
Step back half a step. Runia assumes the upper posture. Swing.
Fierce Tiger Golden World straight stance, type 2, horizontal straight Sungwang.
Beautiful.
Flowing movement. A sword as natural as water flowing.
Each posture is perfectly connected. Push the opponent elegantly.
──!
Counterattacking spear. Dodge with a gap that just barely passes the nape of the neck. Counterattack the opponent who has dug into his arms. An
artistic move to counterattack the opponent’s attack without dodging it more than necessary.
Quite top-notch . Ultra-precise spatial recognition that is incomparable to that of a knight, and perfect spacing management with no 1mm error.
Read the opponent’s movements, dodge as quickly as possible, and cut at the fastest speed.
Truly a swordsman. If that person is one of the pinnacle of knights, it is easy to understand. So even more so. I don’t understand.
“……That’s a first year student?”
Sunseom Jin-a (進牙)’s lightning strike.
Lannachal Hungshao’s Byeokcheon Yeokcheon favorable wind.
Start the offensive and offset Runia’s continuous attacks with identical attacks.
…………………..
……………………………
The audience shares breathtaking silence.
Runia understands. Because she’s a semi-express driver. Because it is the sword sword that Aden is proud of.
But not Corin Locke. He is a first year student. He is a level 5 knight. He responds with the same number of skills against Runia Aden?
How is that possible?
-Kagak!
A surprising series of clashes. A little lull. The swordsman and the spearman stop on the stage.
“Whew…”
“I guess my stamina was drained. It’s a shame.”
An intense battle that leaves the viewer breathless. The first to tire was Corin Locke.
-chuck!
Sheath the sword. This is not a sign of respect for a first-year student who has done well.
In Aden style, foot sword techniques are not used only for surprise attacks.
The art of striking with a sword where the aura accumulated in the scabbard accelerates the blade to super-accelerate and completes a deadly attack.
Cutting the area.
It is a murder warning that foretells the strongest technique of Sword Emperor Garland Aden.
“Respond. Show a response appropriate for your spear skills.”
“…….”
Her voice, which could not be heard in the audience, changed Corin’s posture like that of a leopard.
“What? What are you going to do?”
Embarrassed silence flows from the audience.
-Swaaah!
The momentum spreading in all directions centered on Runia. Some sensitive students and professors felt as if they were surrounded by sharp swords on all sides.
come.
An unstoppable death is coming.
“Wait a minute! Are you planning to kill the student!”
“Stop the test!”
It happens urgently on the faculty side. The first to react was old man Harmon. The moment he was about to leave his seat…
the world stopped.
─────────
A stationary world that the audience is not aware of.
It doesn’t matter if you’re tired. The physical difference between the two doesn’t matter.
take a step Half a step. Runia Aden’s half-step walks through a still world.
Aden-ryu One Sword (一劍) False Area Slash
* * * *
The world stops.
A short-term game without a long-term game in mind. The body that poured everything into it was warmed up just right.
False area cutting.
A world at rest. The blade moves slowly as if in slow motion. I fire the spear at the fastest speed towards Runia’s clearly visible sword.
The evil historical drama (凶蛇極意),
Seungcheonsa (昇天蛇), and the appearance of a poisonous dragon (毒龍出頭).
…………
………
……
…
Damn.
The window I called did not move. We understand clearly because we can compare it with attacks in the same area.
In a stationary world, I cannot move. We only perceive a still world.
Was it a coincidence at Marie’s time? Am I still unable to handle the flying area?
It’s one step. This one step is not taken. No, this would be the same even for Runia due to the setting. Even I… is it a ‘false’?
As the blade slowly approached, not even a moment passed for my eyes to blink.
Extremely sensitive senses detect the approach of the blade in 1mm units. I can clearly see it, but my body doesn’t move──
-Geeeeee…!
A world at rest. A sound that cannot be heard… no, a sound that sounds like metal.
───────
Runia’s pupils opened. Surprise, bewilderment… I can clearly see her expression completely changing in a split second.
Just a little… the window moved.
Not the original Poisonous Dragon Chuldu, which cannot be perfected even with technology, but an ordinary stab. The moment it collided with Runia’s sword.
-Leah!
Starting with the tip of the spear, the sword cut the spear like splitting bamboo and came to a narrow stop in front of me.
“You and I still have a long way to go.”
“Huh… Huh…!”
I feel out of breath, as if I’m hyperventilating. In a split second, my arms feel tingly as if I’ve been hit by a spear 10,000 times.
I’ve had similar feelings. It was during the battle with Marie… Even when I was about to deal the final blow to her, I was so exhausted. At the same time, an unspoken sense of omnipotence is felt.
The feeling of aura touching the skin. This feeling as if it has become a part of my body like a limb…
“Congratulations. You have reached the point of interfering with the territory. Can you feel it?”
“…….”
“This is the domain. Not knowledge, but instinct. A feeling of omnipotence, as if you are the center of the world.”
“What’s next?”
Runia is so self-deprecating that even this is labeled a ‘false’… What’s next?
How far can the martial arts of this world, which are only expressed in games as special or super special moves or cool names, extend?
Even at the level of meddling in the area, I can feel this sense of omnipotence.
“I do not know.”
“yes?”
“There exists beyond. A senile old man risked his life to show me, but I couldn’t reach it.”
“…….”
Is it a state beyond? The only people who could do this were the Geomje and Master from the previous era. So, who is Alisha that is officially known to be possible?
“I should use a better spear than that. Compared to my skills, I am poorly armed.”
“…….”
That’s not what Runia wants to say. My spear was completely shattered, but Runia’s sword, which was a high-quality sword, could not withstand the recoil and cracked.
This is just the level of interference within the area. There is no need to explain further why a special sword like the yam sword is needed.
I glance at Alisha. Her pupils are diamond-shaped and open. The gaping jaw shows no sign of closing.
Has the desired goal been achieved?
“You knew about Alisha’s talent.”
The reason why Runia took the picture as she pointed out to me. She was trying to show this. And for me too… this was half the goal.
Both Luni and I know. Alisha’s trauma… no, not trauma, but dysentery.
“I’m staying in this city for a while. Because I have work to do. Work is work, too…”
– Destroys Arisha Aden.
He declared to me with a cold smile.
“Aren’t you my sister?”
“That’s right. Because I’m the older sister, I have the right to trample on Arisha. It’s a legitimate right granted to me because I’m the older sister.”
A sisterly fight is so bloody.
This is not a good trend for me.
Even if Arisha is destroyed by Runia, Runia does not join the party.
The only time Runia joins as a party member is when Arisha Arden’s death event occurs.
If the sister fight ends with Runia’s victory, both Alisha and Runia will be excluded from the main scenario. In short, what I have to do is.
‘Complete Arisha’s area slash.’
It triggers the trauma that Alisha is denying and awakens her.
Of course, there is no need to rush. No, rather, you shouldn’t rush.
This is because the moment Arisha Arden completes the area slash, the character termination scenario with Runia Arden is triggered.
To Arisha, who has completed the area slash, Runia begins to ‘break the sword’ with the authority of the sword holder.
Boss battle with Ogham and Runia Aden.
There was no way Alisha, who had not undergone sufficient training, would be able to break through this fierce battle, which was even somewhat unreasonable.
In games, events are always triggered due to force of cause and effect, but in reality, there must be a trigger.
1. Arisha must learn area cutting.
2. News that the territory was successfully cut will be delivered to Runia.
The expected conditions are roughly like this.
If she has mastered the secret technique of Garland, the sword emperor who is the absolute symbol of Aden, it means that Arisha has become the next candidate to threaten Runia.
“Corin Locke. Full marks. Maximum additional points will be given by the instructor’s authority.”
“thank you.”
I trudge out of the stadium. As I walked out, I met Alisha, drool still dripping from her open jaw.
Concentration beyond imagination. The figure looked as if it were possessed by a ghost.
* * * *
“…….”
“…….”
The professors of the Department of Engineers and other external instructors invited for this test were speechless.
Even though Runia Aden came forward, I did not see it as an opportunity to test her skills.
This is because the student’s skills are inferior to hers. But what they witnessed was beyond their imagination.
The stadium is completely destroyed and no part is intact. What about craters in all directions?
Seeing the stadium cut in half fills me with awe.
A contemporary swordsman who is said to succeed Geomje. Indeed, a heroine. Truly a swordsman. The skills that I had only heard about through rumors were more than just fame.
But the person who brought out that skill was only a level 5 student named Naburang.
The final crash was a terrible sight for the martial arts walkers.
The last two collisions were barely perceptible. This is because they realized that it was a level they could not reach even if they trained their whole lives.
There is no choice but to despair in the face of overwhelming talent.
They were mesmerized after witnessing the incredible battle, but one knight who soon came to his senses expressed a question.
“Professor Permak, are you really saying that student is a level 5 knight?”
“Isn’t that ridiculous? It was possible to go head to head with Runia Aden!”
They were almost in a state of panic. A knight’s strength is determined by his or her aura level.
If you were a level 5 knight, you would be at a miserable level, not even intermediate level. What was that fight you just showed?
“…….”
Leaving behind the professors and guest instructors who were still in a state of panic, Old Man Harmon stared in silence at Corin coming down the stadium.
‘The student who tried to catch the spirit body…’
I remember. A reckless student who took on challenges beyond his means. I liked his grit and even gave him a meal ticket as a gift.
I thought I had failed because no one came to visit me after that, but I never thought I would show myself like this today.
It is no longer student level. How many students at Merkava Academy can compete with a level 5 knight named Corrin Locke?
Names such as Beaseker Marie Dunareff came to mind, but they were not so easy to measure.
Corinne Locke’s talent is something foreign.
It was as if I had witnessed a strange talent that could not be explained in terms of the size of its power or being an auror… It was an unknown unknown.
…………………..
…………
……
“……Why.”
Professor Permac pierces Corin Locke with his gaze hidden behind sunglasses.
The afro-haired professor, who usually sticks to a cool, punk style, was unusually embarrassed. If it weren’t for the sunglasses, someone would have realized his abnormality.
“Why…are you using his skills?”
Those words were drowned out by the cheers of the crowd, not heard by anyone.
