Revenge of the Iron-Blooded Sword Hound - Chapter 195
Episode 195 Attack Land (6)
A short-lived
phenomenon It must be a temporary event.
But nonetheless, it was a shock to Professor Saadi.
The golem stopped.
The attack of the whip, which seemed to crush Bikir at any moment, was cut off for an instant.
[……?]
Professor Saadi was taken aback and pulled back.
This time, the golem listened properly and followed.
……?
All the spectators who saw the scene also responded that they did not know why.
“What is it? What’s going on? Why do you stop after pushing hard?”
“Is it because of the mood? The golem looked like it stopped for a moment?”
“Anyway, this is a chance! Run away, kid!”
“Avoid! Then die!”
Everyone who saw Professor Saadi’s golem moving again shouted in unison.
[It’s ridiculous. What was it just now?]
Mud golems and stone golems often cause this kind of malfunction.
However, most of them were minor errors that disappeared during a test drive.
Professor Saadi raised his whip again and aimed at Bikir.
A division action from bottom to top and then from top to bottom.
but.
…catch up!
Again, the brakes were put on the movement.
Jjaak –
The whip falling towards Bikir stopped in the middle and destroyed the wrong place.
[No really! What is this!?]
Professor Sadi stepped back annoyedly shaking his hand.
Right then.
Ta-ang!
Bikir, who had escaped from Connor, shot an arrow into the golem’s lower abdomen again.
Chick-Geek-
Then the golem paused again briefly.
Then, exclamation broke out among the faculty.
“I see! Now I know!”
“It’s because you hit the same part over and over again!”
“You’re constantly applying fatigue to the joint, which weakens even if you move, and it’s degrading performance!”
“Oh, isn’t that an amazing hit rate!”
And belatedly, a reaction comes from among the students.
“You keep hitting the same place with an arrow? Is that possible?”
“It’s possible! He shoots the bow very well!”
“That’s right! I saw you shoot evenly with Bianca at the gymnasium the other day!”
“Looking at the defense test, it seems that Mana is almost at the level of an advanced sword expert, right?”
“What is your true identity!?”
Public opinion turned around.
The crowd booed the villain, Professor Saadi, and cheered at the unexpected appearance of Bikir, the dark horse.
“Good!”
Tudor, who was cheering outside the stadium, sang for joy.
“Bikir guy! You’ve been aiming for the joints of the limbs and lower abdomen of the golem that moves the most! You really need to know your archery skills!”
But Sancho, who was next to him, tilted his head.
“It’s obviously amazing to keep shooting at the same part without an inch of error… but can you make Professor Sadi’s golem stutter like that?”
At that question, Tudor also tilted his head.
The one who solved their curiosity was Sinclair, who was next to them.
“It’s because of my brother’s arrows, but I think Professor Sadie’s habit also played a part.”
“Habit?”
“Yes. Professor Saadi uses a whip. When using a whip, where does the most force go?”
“Yeah… it must be the lower abdomen? Due to the structure of the golem, all arms and legs move while applying force to the lower abdomen. Moreover, the characteristic of a weapon called a whip is also the same.”
“That’s right. That’s why hyung-a was constantly aiming for the lower belly. If only the joints there were loosened, it would be possible to seal the arms and legs. The strength and accuracy of the whip would also be weakened.”
“…Is that possible? That part is much smaller than a normal joint? It should be possible to shoot with real high precision.”
Bianca joins the conversation between Tudor and Sancho Sinclair.
“He can.”
As everyone turned their heads, Bianca chewed on her lower lip and said,
“Last time we practiced archery together at the gymnasium… That guy shot and killed a mosquito flying from 100 meters away. He didn’t even use mana.”
“Ay, does that make sense?”
“It’s real!?”
As Tudor and Bianca bickered, Sinclair tousled her hair and berated herself.
“Ah, the joint in the lower abdomen joint was a weakness. As expected, hyung-a always goes one step ahead of me. Why didn’t I think of that?”
at that time. There was a voice that answered everyone’s doubts.
It was the student council president, Dolores.
“Of course. It’s a weakness that you guys didn’t have when dealing with Professor Saadi.”
At that, everyone expresses their doubts.
Dolores turned her head as if to answer, and there was Piggy with an awkward expression.
“Do you remember the last piece of blade that Piggy stuck?”
After hearing Dolores’ words, everyone exclaims.
Even Piggy himself.
The piece of blade that Piggy pierced the golem at the last moment became a counter and pierced deeply, creating a very small weakness.
And the seasoned veteran, Bikir, saw through the weakness right away and grabbed it tightly.
Because he was sure that he would never lose, he must have willingly signed the physical renunciation memorandum offered by Professor Banshee.
Noticing this, Professor Banshee had no choice but to frown again in front of the arena.
“……You’re a nasty guy.”
Seeing the visibly creaking of Professor Saadi’s golem, he twisted his lips in a look of absurdity.
I’ve dealt with many test takers so far, but it was the first student who dared to bet against the professor.
Even more so, the first time it worked was against the world’s most famous Professor Sadi!
As time passed, public opinion was changing in favor of Bikir.
“Good job kid! Keep pushing!”
“It’s a chance to earn a lot of points!”
“Go! Bikir! Cheer up!”
“Show the potential of being a commoner!”
“Brother- cool!”
Cheers and cheers erupted from the audience. It is pushing Bikir’s back.
however.
[That’s funny.]
Professor Sadi reversed all these streams once again.
She straightened her stance.
The precarious posture, as if about to collapse at any moment, returns to its original state at once.
It’s amazing how such a sense of balance can be achieved with that unstable looking heel.
At the same time, her whip swept around like a savage snake.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam! Pop! Dduduk! Sigh!
Broken arrow shafts and broken arrowheads scattered in all directions.
All the arrows stuck or lying on the floor were smashed and scattered.
Rather than attack Bikir, Professor Saadi is crippling the arrows around him.
All the arrows that seemed to be intact disappeared with this.
In fact, the result was as if the battle had ended.
[Ho-ho-ho-what can a bowman do without arrows?]
Professor Sadie sighed with a grim smile on one side of his mouth.
That’s right.
Bikir currently had no arrows left.
The supplied arrows had already been exhausted, and even if they tried to use the ones stuck on the floor or fallen, they were almost all broken after shooting them several times.
It was impossible to even retrieve the items that were blown in strange directions by the wind.
There was nothing the archer could do now that all the remaining arrows had been broken by the slash that Professor Saadi had just put on his whip.
In the end, Bikir had no means of attack left.
“…”
“…”
“…”
After realizing the harsh reality, the cheers of the crowd suddenly died down.
[Hohohoho- did you know now, pigs?]
Professor Sadi continued, striking the whip on the floor several times.
[Did you say Bikir? There is still quite a bit of time left for the exam. What do you want to do? give up midway? Or do you want to play more with your sister?]
But.
“…”
Bikir just stood still with an expressionless face.
It did not mean that I would give up the exam halfway, nor did it mean that I would continue taking the exam.
[…?]
Professor Sadi frowned.
Bikir’s eyes were hidden by her bangs, so it was hard to see, but it was clear that her eyes were looking this way.
unpleasant gaze.
It did not belong to a cornered prey.
Absolute confidence, without the slightest doubt.
It was clearly the eyes of a predator that was looking at this side as its prey.
Moment.
…creepy!
Professor Saadi shuddered once.
Where does this goose bump that burns down the spine come from?
The opponent is an academy freshman, an unassuming commoner, a bowman who has fallen out of arrows.
However, Professor Saadi was instantly overwhelmed by the unprecedented aura of mana and aura emitted by that little boy.
It must have been instinctive, similar to a dog’s reaction when it recognized the number of frogs in front of a snake.
But reason beats emotion.
Professor Saadi soon came to his senses and soon realized the obvious fact that he had no reason to be intimidated by the kid in front of him.
And being pushed back from the momentum, even for a moment, left a severe scratch on her upright pride.
……Is that why?
Professor Saadi was furious.
The genius, who would have trusted and respected his instincts as usual, made the mistake of looking down on the prey in front of him.
[Where does this cheeky little pig dare to open his eyes without even knowing the subject! Just open your eyes…!]
She snarls and opens her eyes wide.
At that moment, Professor Saadi, who was focusing all his attention on Bikir, saw his lips move slightly.
A voice so small that no one could hear it.
A message that can only be understood by reading the shape of the lips.
‘You are blinded by anger. Where are you looking?’
In an instant, Sadie’s eyes widen.
at the same time.
…puck!
A strange sound came from somewhere.
The sound of something soft breaking. It was clearly heard from very close by.
[…… Huh?]
Professor Sadie blinked a few times with her open eyes.
My left eye felt strangely warm, and my vision went black.
at the same time.
[……! ……! ……!]
A burning pain began to invade the entire left side of his face.
