Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius - Chapter 52
Episode 52
Test tubes were spread throughout the forest.
Auditors dispatched to the academy by order of the auditor general.
The auditors I knew were now arrested on suspicion of solicitation, so I was on edge.
An order from the auditor general had been issued.
Therefore, the testing site was thoroughly managed.
Monsters were adjusted in proportion to the cadets’ skills, and auditors were spread throughout the test site to prepare for any possible threats.
‘You idiots.’
The examiner cursed internally at his colleagues’ foolishness.
The Board of Audit and Inspection is a group of people who monitor and punish those who commit corruption.
I can’t believe I was asked to be one of those people.
Thanks to that, they ended up dying.
There’s so much work to do that it’s killing me.
That was when I was sitting on a tree branch, muttering to myself.
Wow!
A scream was heard that made my body tingle.
There is no way they could have missed a monster with this level of fighting spirit and fierceness.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
As soon as I could think of that, black flares appeared in the sky.
Emergency.
Two more black flares went off in succession.
Seeing that they were fired from the same location, it was clear that one of the teams had encountered the owner of the monster.
I ran straight there. Since it was not too far away, I was able to get there before the other examiners arrived.
“what! Why on earth is that here?! “It’s different from last year!”
“hey! Wake! “I can’t do it alone!”
The cadets were seen first.
Three cadets were down, and the two cadets standing with weapons were not in very good condition.
It looked like it was going to collapse at any moment.
“Why is the Orc Warrior…”
The cadets have not yet awakened their mana.
Therefore, even ordinary Orcs cannot deal with Orc Warriors.
Warriors are guys who deal with speculation.
Because they are much stronger than orcs, there are times when even knights who use mana have a hard time.
Coo. Hehehe!
However, the state of the Orc Warriors was never good.
His hair was particularly stained red and he was drooling as if he were on drugs.
There it is.
‘Why is it so big?’
The body was too big.
A man who appears to be close to 3 meters tall and has muscles with bulging tendons like snakes.
Even a quick glance could tell that it was dangerous.
“What is that!”
“That state… is it the same as when you used stimulants?”
There are herbs that have no effect on other creatures, but only affect orcs.
An illegal herb that paralyzes an orc’s reason, causes all desires to run wild, and maximizes all physical abilities.
The Orc Warrior in front of the cadets looked as if he had taken the medicine.
Except that it has become too large.
“You take care of the cadets. “Because I will deal with the orcs.”
“yes.”
“All right.”
He was the direct superior of the auditors who came with him.
His only consolation was a certificate of appreciation and royalty.
And to be in that position, you have to have that level of skill.
Wow,
the blade of the spear he took out turned red.
Mana changes color depending on the user’s nature.
In particular, unlike wizards who try to accommodate all elements, swordsmen train only the mana that suits them.
And the red one contained a firearm that matched that color.
He filled the spear with mana and threw it with all his might at the orc who was swinging his ax at the cadet.
Puhwaak!
The spear that was fired tore through the air hit the Orc Warrior.
A strong flame rose from the window that hit the Orc Warrior.
Wow!
The spear could not advance any further and bounced away.
The spear fired in that short period of time was bounced off by the orc as he was unable to block it.
“Hmph!”
The examiner, who had expected this, rushed forward as soon as he threw the spear.
Then he caught the bouncing spear and swung it at the Orc Warrior.
Kwaaaaang!
The ground the Orc Warrior was standing on collapsed, and his feet became stuck in the ground.
Tremendous strength.
This is the power of a knight who uses mana.
The reason why a swordsman who cannot use mana cannot defeat a knight.
This is because knights who control mana become like superhumans.
Wow!
The Orc Warrior swung his axe.
The examiner did not let the attack go but instead received it with his body.
Bang kwaaaaang!
Just like the Orc Warrior, his ankles were also dug into the ground.
There was one reason he didn’t avoid it.
The cadets behind him were still unable to escape.
The spear was thrown in an attempt to throw the Orc Warrior away from the cadets, but he had no idea that the Orc Warrior would receive the attack on the spot.
If it were a normal Orc Warrior, his body would have been thrown backwards.
It was understandable that in that short period of time, the cadets could not hold out for a moment and were wiped out.
“Everyone has completed the evacuation!”
The sound I had been waiting for came from behind me.
It is said that the cadets were evacuated far away.
As he said those words, he raised his mana.
“Hwaap!”
He shouted with enthusiasm and swung his spear.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The orc’s body, which raised its ax to block the spear, floated in the air and flew backwards.
“Ha!”
Kwaaaaang!
The Orc Warriors were not given a chance to counterattack.
I have to stop breathing here. If this guy ran away from here, there could be a bigger problem.
Wow!
The Orc, who was busy blocking the spear, screamed and swung his ax loudly.
He, who thought it was an opportunity, stepped back instead of trying to stab the spear.
Quaaaaaaaaa!
The ax hit the ground and a huge amount of dust rose up.
The dirt obscured his vision. He swung his spear and cleared the dust.
“shit…!”
The Orc Warrior who thought he would fight back disappeared.
I never thought he would run away.
‘Don’t miss it!’
He put his spear on his back and shouted to the other examiners.
“You take the cadets out into the forest. And your exam is over. Announce that there is an emergency and lead all cadets in the forest out of the forest!”
“yes!”
After hearing the answer, I ran towards the direction the Orc Warrior had run away from.
Wow!
An orc’s scream is heard.
and.
bang! Quang!
The sound of weapons colliding with each other was also heard.
Could it be that another examiner is dealing with the Orc Warrior?
I guess that’s what it looks like since it lasted for quite a long time… But didn’t you see the signal?
They clearly fired a signal to gather in the center of the forest.
‘Whatever it was, it worked out.’
It was a moment when I was worried about what would happen if the Orc Warrior escaped the forest and entered the village.
However, if you are dealing with the examiner who came with you, there is no need to worry too much.
Even if they are not as good as him, they at least have the skills to not lose against the Orc Warriors.
‘I don’t know who it is, but when I return, I have to praise him for his contribution.’
Thanks to holding on to the Orc Warrior, I was able to reduce the damage.
“…what.”
When I arrived at the scene, I felt a little at ease.
He thought the examiner who came with him was dealing with an Orc Warrior.
But it wasn’t.
“How can the cadets…”
Cadets who shouldn’t be here were there.
He was looking at the Orc Warrior from a distance away from him.
“…!”
There was a cadet in front of the Orc Warrior.
A man with brown hair.
The sight of him standing up to the Orc Warrior as if trying to protect his group was like watching a small leaf being blown around by a strong gust of wind.
‘shit!’
I thought it was dangerous.
The cadet thought he could never defeat the Orc Warrior.
That’s why I tried to run to save him from the Orc Warrior.
“uh…?”
I could feel the current of mana.
Mana gathered around the cadet’s sword as if the wind was creating a whirlwind.
How is that possible?
In the history of the continent, it was rare for a swordsman to use mana before the age of 20.
No, almost none.
It may or may not come out once every hundred years.
It was difficult to awaken mana to that extent.
However, if he was not mistaken, that cadet was using mana right now.
Unable to feel the mana, he gathered it into his sword and pierced the orc’s heart.
Can this happen?
My feet don’t fall off.
The cadet was not hurt at all, making it pointless that he thought he would help him.
‘Hmph…!’
I made eye contact with the cadet who turned around.
It was so emotionless that it was hard to believe that he had just hunted an Orc Warrior.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
Isn’t this the face of an Orc Warrior that makes sense?
***
The blood on my face was uncomfortable.
I lifted my sleeve, wiped my face, and looked at the test tube.
The examiner was looking at me like I was a monster.
‘Did you see it?’
Is it because he saw the use of mana, or is it because he was surprised that he killed the Orc Warrior?
Or perhaps both, the examiner’s expression was complex and subtle.
“Examiner, what are you doing here?”
“…ah.”
The examiner came to his senses at the sound of my voice. My companions also realized that the examiner had come up next to me.
“The exam is over. Everyone returns to the gathering place.”
The faces of the group crumpled at the examiner’s words.
The only thing they hunted was five goblins and the Orc Warrior I caught.
I don’t know how many points the Orc Warrior gave, but it was clear that the points were not enough.
And more than anything, the examiner urged me to leave and I had to take a by-product in order to receive a score.
“What should I do with that? “It will take some time to dismantle it.”
“….”
He thought about my words for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“There is no need to take by-products. “I saw you hunting, so I’ll include it in your score.”
I nodded at those words.
It was already a hassle to take care of the by-products, but it worked out well.
We followed him out, asking the examiner for a generous grade.
Coooooo!
It was then.
The ground shook and something huge appeared in the distance.
Wow!
And then a scream was heard.
We made eye contact with the examiner who looked back at us.
“Let’s go.”
When I nodded towards him, he nodded and increased his speed.
I ran after the test tube, telling Mahol and Selina to leave the forest with Rayna.
The examiner turned to me and was about to say something, but then closed his mouth.
Wow!
The sound of a monster. A monster as big as a tree was swinging its fist at the test tube.
Because the examiners had to protect the cadets, they were unable to mount a counterattack and were busy blocking.
If it goes on like this just a little longer, the examiners will lose.
If you can’t attack properly and just block, you’ll eventually get tired, and if that happens, it’s only a matter of time before you get killed by the troll.
‘If I had that…’
I thought that a troll of that caliber would get a high score.
I don’t have enough points, so wouldn’t it be possible to make up for the lack of points if I hunt for them?
“Examiner.”
“…?”
The test tube that was injecting mana into the spear looks back at me.
His face looked bewildered by the appearance of a troll out of nowhere.
“Does that count as points too?”
“what?”
“I mean the score.”
“Ah… I’ll hit you.”
The examiner, who was looking at me blankly, nodded.
And the mana that had been infused into the spear was released.
He passed by the test tube and pulled out his sword.
“Then I think you will give me plenty of points.”
I remembered the sense of mana I used while dealing with the Orc Warriors.
The mana that was scattered in the air gathered together.
[‘The Nameless God’ is looking forward to your performance.]
I kicked the ground and ran.
