Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 34

Episode 34

My daily routine after entering the academy was like this.

Wake up early in the morning and walk around the vacant lot five times.

While running, I listen to the information that Ellis found out.

Then, I take a quick shower, take class, return to the training ground, and swing my sword again.

One more thing was added to the routine.

“omg…! “Whoa… whoosh!”

Mahol started participating in the morning exercise.

When I told him to build up his stamina, he said he would exercise with me and started running along with me like he does now.

But still…

‘I never thought it would be this difficult.’

I haven’t even been able to run a single lap properly.

I ran slowly on purpose out of consideration for Mahol.

However, after about half a turn, I was panting as if I was going to throw up.

Maybe I was looking at the wrong person. Mahol’s physical strength was so insignificant that it occurred to him for a moment.

“You… are really serious.”

His face turned red, as if he felt pitiful at my words.

And he took a deep breath to recover his strength as quickly as possible, but even that wasn’t easy.

No matter how hard I tried to breathe, if I didn’t know how to do it, it

was no different from just waiting for recovery.

I looked down at him and blurted out a word.

“Breathe in longer and exhale shorter.”

It may seem like meaningless words, but the advice I just gave him was what he needed most.

The breathing method he used later.

Even in the original work, the breathing method was specifically explained.

‘In the original work, Mahol fought a war of attrition with the protagonist for over a month.’

And the only one who got tired was the main character.

Mahol attacked frequently as if he was not tired, and the protagonist only prevented Mahol’s attacks but could not catch him.

The protagonist, whose mind was so devastated, had no choice but to run away.

It is the main driving force that allowed me to have such strong mental and physical strength.

But sadly, that breathing method did not suit me.

I’m a swordsman, not a stealth person.

What I taught Mahol was a breathing technique specialized for hiding that only he could use.

I taught him it in detail.

He reached out his hand and touched the lungs and taught me how to breathe and how to breathe.

There was one more reason why I did this.

[I look forward to a future where the ‘Unknown God’ will change with your actions.]

At some point, a message that had not appeared in my mind began to appear again.

When was the last time you saw it? No, the message kept emerging.

Even when dealing with the vice-principal and when I was beating up the gangsters.

But I was ignoring it.

I thought I was seeing something in vain.

But now I had to admit it. Because the message that appears every time an incident occurs is never in vain.

[‘The Nameless God’ smiles meaningfully at your thoughts.]

I’ll have to pay more attention to this message in the future.

From the moment I met Mahol until now, the nameless god has been telling me to look after him.

It is something that cannot be ignored forever.

You have to admit what you have to admit.

I realized it too late.

[The ‘Unknown God’ is very pleased with your choice.]

“Hmm… I just can’t do it.”

I stopped running.

Mahol seemed to feel a little better after I taught him how to breathe, but it didn’t take long for him to become exhausted and sick.

How on earth did I not exercise to be this poor?

In a way, it could be said that it was natural for his body to become weak since he had been tormented by the Iljin.

‘I need to change my methods.’

It was not a problem that could be solved in a day or two.

We need to change our methods.

Physical strength does not develop overnight.

We need to change something more fundamental.

“There is no need to try to do well right now.”

“…?”

“Even if you train like you do now, your physical strength won’t increase immediately.”

“….”

“But it doesn’t mean there is no way. Do people really have to fight head on? no. In fact, it is more rare to have a head-to-head match. There is no need to fight head-on.”

“…!”

Mahol looked as if he had realized something.

I continued speaking to him.

“And you don’t have to hold back anymore. “Because I will be behind you.”

[The ‘Unknown God’ looks at you with a soft smile.]

Was it too emotional?

Maybe I was being too childish, but my face turned red.

He scratched his cheek and looked at Mahol’s face.

Mahol was lowering his head with a thoughtful look on his face.

Even if I say more here, it won’t reach his ears.

I told him to prepare for class and left first.

***

Since when?

Mahol stopped rebelling against the rebels.

Because if you rebel, your younger brother will be harmed.

I thought it would be better for me to suffer alone.

Just like that, a year passed and then another two years passed.

I thought I was used to being bullied by now, but I guess not.

‘You don’t have to endure it.’

The words he said flew into my heart like a dagger.

I held back.

I had to endure it because it was so my younger brother could live.

But now?

Should I still endure it now?

Mahol shook his head.

The time for patience has passed. You don’t have to endure it anymore.

I was sure of that.

Raymond Millennium is behind me.

It was no one else, it was Raymond.

The man, who had a power that even the vice principal couldn’t rashly touch, told me not to hold back.

He said he would look after me.

But what is he worrying about?

The anger that I had been suppressing for so long slowly showed its head.

After checking to see if he could come out or not, he stretched out vigorously.

I became confident that I could freely express my anger.

‘How should I take revenge?’

It never occurred to me to ask Raymond for help.

I have already received a lot of help from him.

It was so big and numerous that he didn’t think he could handle it if he received more help.

Above all, you must now be in the position of giving rather than receiving help.

“I wonder what I can be good at…”

I wasn’t as good at swordsmanship as Raymond.

Let alone being outstanding, I don’t even know how to swing it properly.

However, I didn’t know how to use magic, nor did I know how to do anything else.

No, it doesn’t exist at all.

There was only one thing I could do well.

Hiding myself.

Hiding myself by disappearing from the eyes of others and erasing my presence.

Although I never learned it from anyone, I was able to do it as naturally as breathing from a young age.

‘There is no need to confront them head-on.’

Can we defeat them by confronting them head-on?

Mahol shook his head.

Can’t win.

There was a gap between him and them.

That gap was not something that could be bridged overnight.

Unlike themselves, who had no experience holding a sword properly, they systematically learned swordsmanship.

The odds of beating them head on were extremely slim.

So, you have to compete with what you can do well.

‘What can we do by erasing our existence?’

I was worried. Is there anything that can be done?

As he pondered and pondered for a while, Ellis slowly approached him and spoke to him.

“I think it would be quite scary if you were to be ambushed.”

“…!”

That was the end of those words.

It seemed like he knew something, but he didn’t say anything more.

But that was enough.

Raymond also said not to fight head-on, and Ellis also recommended a surprise attack.

And no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t find an answer other than surprise attack since he knew nothing but hiding.

‘I found a way. So what method should we use?’

You can’t kill them by surprise attack.

I had to use a simple yet effective method that would make a strong impression on them.

And that was the perfect method.

….

Late at night when everyone is asleep. Mahol moved quietly.

I left the dorm secretly enough to not be noticed by anyone in the dorm.

Mahol didn’t notice that Raymond was watching him.

I thought about several methods.

I thought about how I could cause more pain and came to one conclusion.

Carrying a bag on my shoulder, I headed to the room of one of the group.

Security patrolled the academy every two hours.

But no one found Mahol.

He entered Iljin’s room as comfortably as if he were walking around his own home.

‘You’re sleeping well.’

As I looked at Iljin’s face, sleeping peacefully without the world knowing, a fire boiled inside me.

For some, every day felt like hell and they couldn’t even sleep properly, worrying about tomorrow.

In fact, the perpetrator was enjoying a good night’s sleep.

How can this be so unfair?

I can never forgive you.

Soggy.

I opened my bag, smeared something sticky on my hand, and headed towards the wall in front of the bed.

And I carefully drew something.

I adjusted the position as much as possible so that I could see it happening at the same time.

It was so dark that he couldn’t even see the hand in front of him, but strangely enough, his eyes were able to capture many things.

At least the nose hairs of the sleeping Iljin were vividly visible.

In fact, it seemed to look brighter than during the day.

After working painstakingly for an hour, an object was placed underneath.

Then, I returned to my dorm, washed up, and went to sleep as if nothing had happened.

next day.

The Academy was turned upside down.

***

I was heading to class to take class.

However, students who were supposed to be in class were rushing out of class and heading to the training ground.

It wasn’t just class A-2.

All students of the swordsmanship club gathered at the training hall. And several teachers were glaring at those students.

‘Oh, is that why?’

As I watched it, I reflexively realized that this matter had something to do with Mahol.

He left the hotel late at night and returned a long time later.

There were even traces of blood on his body that were not visible when he left.

“What kind of guy!”

Among the teachers, the vice principal with a red face screamed loudly.

He seemed so angry that he was ready to slap me if he found the real culprit of the incident.

To the students who were confused, the teachers explained why they were doing that.

Someone left a rabbit corpse in a student’s room.

It is said that the words ‘You try it too’ are written on top of it in red liquid that appears to be rabbit blood.

At those words, I was impressed by Mahol’s personality, which was hotter than I expected.

‘There is a subtle pulpit.’

The only person who could do this was Mahol.

It was Mahol who had the ability to move so secretly that no one noticed among the guards and who had a grudge against Iljin.

But the teachers don’t know that Mahol has a talent for hiding.

So, from the beginning, we tried to select the culprit except Mahol.

If you are trying to find the culprit in a place where there is no culprit, there is no way you will be able to find it.

The teachers were ultimately unable to find the real culprit.

I couldn’t find it even though it was right next to me.

Mahol had a relaxed expression on his face even as he watched it all.

Isn’t it really fun?

Only one day had passed.

As soon as the advice was over, I took action.

He’s still like that now, but what will it be like for him to follow my words later?

I felt good just thinking about it.
