Episode 78 – A Smile on Your Mouth

The Royal Academy’s cadets face two trials every semester.

One was the mid-term evaluation in the middle of the semester, and the other was the end-of-semester evaluation at the end of the semester.

The midterm and end-of-semester scores determine whether or not you can receive a scholarship in the next semester, and other benefits are given to those with good grades.

Thus, unless there is something else going on, almost all cadets focus only on the evaluation during the evaluation period.

Of course, rumors were bound to spread during that time, and the affair between Alberto and Elizabeth was one of the rumors that spread during the interim evaluation period.

“Is that true?”

“Yes! That cadet must have killed the rumored cadet!”

And now, with the end of semester evaluations just around the corner, new rumors hit the entire Royal Academy.

‘Cadet Alberto of the martial arts department and swordsmanship department had an argument with an Albinus cadet from the martial arts department and a fight broke out, resulting in the death of the cadet Albinus.’

The rumor contained an extremely dry description of a quarrel between two people, which escalated into a fight and one person lost his life.

Anyone who knew all the facts could tell that this was entirely Albinus’ fault.

In the first place, the beginning of this work was due to the inferiority complex that Albinus himself had had since childhood.

So, due to his inferiority complex, he received an unknown drug from the black hood and drank it.

His desire for strength led him to do the wrong thing.

Albinus, who gained strength after drinking the medicine, began to show an arrogant attitude.

And it came to a head when I met Alberto this morning.

For Albinus, who had reached the highest level of Aura Expert, a height that ordinary people could never reach, he was overflowing with confidence.

So he met Alberto, who came down to the gym in search of him.

It was because I thought that I could easily beat Alberto, who was an intermediate level sword expert, as I became an aura expert.

Albinus also heard the news that Alberto, an intermediate sword expert, easily won the victory over Anna, a low-class sword expert.

So he was able to stand in front of Alberto with a confident attitude.

Darius tried to dissuade him, but was it because he was overflowing with confidence?

From noble mtl dot com.

He rushed at Alberto without hesitation.

With the thought of killing his opponent in one blow, Albinus’ attack, which jumped forward after kicking off the ground, was directed to the chest where Alberto’s heart was.

Since he rushed with only the thought of killing his opponent, there were too many gaps in Albinus’ movements.

So Alberto was able to dodge his attack by moving his body lightly and counterattack.

Alberto analyzed his every move while dodging Albinus’ attacks.

Everything about Albinus was analyzed, from hand gestures to the degree of bending of the feet, the angle of the legs, and the running speed.

And the conclusion was as follows.

‘The speed is too slow to be called the best Aura Expert, and the attack is too simple.’

Alberto questioned the level of Albinus.

When he reached the highest level of Sword Expert, he could move faster than Albinus.

It takes a lot of time to go back and forth between territories, and the secret to shortening that time was thanks to the body that changed after reaching the level of an Aura Expert.

However, the speed of Albinus was too slow to be called the superlative Auror Expert.

Perhaps, if Albinus had been attacking with the best Auror Expert body, Alberto would have struggled too.

However, since there was no case in history, Albinus attacked Alberto with a body that was not properly adapted.

To a sword master who is at least two levels higher than that.

In return, Albinus suffered a terrible death with his torso and head separated.

It is said that the body of a person who has reached the level of an Aura Expert becomes stronger through training, but it cannot be compared to the Aura Blade used by a Sword Master.

Sword Master’s aura blade turned a blunt butter knife used for buttering bread into a weapon capable of killing people.

“This is slow. Actions and thoughts.”

Alberto, as always, smiled and made a sharp assessment of Albinus.

No matter how much you reach the level of an aura expert who claims to fly, you can’t compare to a sword master.

“Oh, Albinus?”

Darius was able to judge how things were going after seeing Albinus’s body lying on the ground with his torso and head separated.

‘Albinus is dead? He said that the guy who confidently said that he had reached the top rank of Aura Expert was killed by an Intermediate Sword Expert?’

Just looking at a simple comparison, Alberto was intermediate, and Albinus was the best.

It was a battle that Alberto could not win even if he tried to win.

However, Albinus, who ran confidently, lost his life, and Alberto, the enemy of the crippled Daecheon who took his brother’s life, smiled and put the butter knife back into his arms.

“This, you evil bastard! What spell did he use!”

“A spell? I don’t know about that?”

Alberto looked at Darius and smiled.

Then he raised his hands and shrugged his shoulders, an act that Darius considered a great disgrace.

Obviously, Alberto’s action was provoking, ‘Whether it’s true or not, what is it?’

Darius wanted to run at Alberto right away, but he had to hold back.

“If it wasn’t for witchcraft, how could Albinus, a top aura expert, be killed by you, a mid-level sword expert!”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“What?”

Darius was taken aback by Alberto’s words.

Are you sure? What does that mean?

Listening to him, he was talking as if it was only natural that he would win if he and Albinus fought.

“Ah, senior Darius doesn’t seem to know much because he wasn’t a martial arts cadet. He makes it easy for seniors to understand. Let’s say he looked at and studied the same book. One person got a good score by solidifying the basic skills, and the other person got a better score by memorizing only the correct answers and solutions. Then who is the greater person?”

“Yeah… He must have gotten a better score. Because he got a high score efficiently.”

“Right. That’s not wrong. However, that is a story that can only be used in the category of learning.”

Alberto nodded his head but said in his mouth as if you still misunderstood something.

Of course, that wasn’t Alberto’s sincerity.

Alberto was just telling Darius that he really didn’t know.

“In the world of martial arts, that is, a person who reaches a high level by stepping on the level is more remarkable than a person who quickly becomes strong in a short time and reaches a high level. Do you know why?”

“Why?”

“Of course. When the human body suddenly gains great power, it takes time to adapt to that power. In other words, Albinus felt that his power had grown stronger, but he did not have enough time to fully deal with it.”

“You… Was that enough time?”

“That is correct.”

Alberto smiled brightly, thinking that Darius understood his explanation well.

However, Darius misunderstood that smile as making fun of him.

“Then, did you not stop Albinus even though you knew that?”

“Was your senior like that?”

“What?”

“The other side is trying to kill me, but of course I have to fight back with all my strength. In the process, you have to exploit every loophole on your opponent that is available to you. Sparring and fighting are two completely different things.”

Alberto kindly explained to Darius, expressing doubt as if he really didn’t know this.

Of course, Darius thought that Alberto was making a fool of himself and that he was giving such a long explanation.

After hearing Alberto’s explanation, Darius couldn’t help but nod his head.

It was an enemy, but there was nothing wrong with Alberto’s explanation.

The enemy is trying to kill me. What should I do?

The answer is simple. You have to incapacitate the enemy.

Alberto thought the only way to stop Albinus was to kill him.

Actually, if Alberto hadn’t killed him, Albinus would have continued to attack Alberto.

The other person is running like a madman to kill me, but if all I can do is kill the other person, then I have to do that.

That was natural.

Alberto knew that and killed Albinus.

“Oh, and… ….”

Alberto pulled out a small object from his chest.

“You, that, that!”

Darius knew all too well what it was.

“A recording magic crystal?”

“That is correct. I was misunderstood a lot, so I had to record and record the whole situation to prove my innocence.”

Alberto said, waving the recording magic crystal in his hand.

The moment he saw it, Darius knew instinctively.

‘This fight. Is it our defeat…….’

That they couldn’t defeat Alberto in the first place.
