Academy’s Genius Swordsman

＜ 100. Second Heart (3) ＞

#100

The space in front of him turned upside down and Kratir, the principal of Phileon Academy, appeared. The students’ attention was focused.

Ronan, like it or not, was just staring at Adeshan’s ankles. Seeing the two of them, Kratir narrowed his eyebrows.

“…Did this old man interrupt an important moment?”

“yes.”

Ronan nodded without hesitation. Still, I was glad that my old man had an eye for it. What could be more important than this now? Adeshan’s face turned white.

“Lo, Ronan. What are you talking about…!”

“Please be still.”

“Heh heh… I don’t know what it is, but take it slow.”

Kratir brushed his beard and smiled. Ronan did that. The roots clinging to Adeshan’s legs were made of sparkling mana.

‘Surely, Dolan is the child’s ability. How did this come about?’

Ronan remembered Dolan’s aura, which made his body heavy by shackling his limbs. It was so weak that it could not be compared with the original, but it was definitely the same ability.

‘Did you copy the auror? I?’

I couldn’t believe it, but it was real. It was time to get up to try again. A sudden burst of dizziness shook his vision.

“···ah?”

Extreme fatigue was running up my limbs. Ronan noticed too late that the mana that had been filling the tumor had dried up.

The powerless flickering root disappeared. Ronan, who had been staggering, stood up on the floor. Adeshan and Krathir simultaneously supported him.

“Ronan!”

“Suddenly, my complexion got worse. Are you okay?”

“Whoa… maybe.”

Ronan groaned hard. He switched the power source to an existing heart. With the feeling of blood circulating all over his body, his energy began to return.

‘I’m terribly tired. I’m almost out of mana.’

Several times more mana than when the sword was fired was consumed at once. I guess I should try it after recovering a bit.

“Sorry. Because it was really important.”

Ronan, who looked back at Kratir only then, expressed his regret. There was still a kind smile on his wrinkled face.

“Heh heh, it’s fine. It looks like your lover broke her leg, right?”

“Well, it’s similar. I am not a lover.”

“Hey, you’re my lover…”

Adeshan covered her mouth with her hand. Ronan raised an eyebrow and asked.

“By the way, what’s going on here?”

“I would like to change places if possible. Do you have time?”

“It’s fine, but…”

“Okay then. Go.”

Match! Suddenly, Kratir applauded. As the space flipped over, my vision darkened at the same time. After a while, my eyes brightened and a completely different landscape unfolded.

“Here….”

It was a familiar place. The spacious and open space gave the impression of being closer to a living room rather than a room. Through the window covering the three walls, the blue sky and Phileon’s site came into view.

A round table made of old wood was placed in the middle of the room. In front of the round table used for meetings and receptions, a man sat with his back to Ronan.

“long time no see.”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows at the panoramic view he had seen for a while. It was the principal’s office located in Phileon Tower 1. At that moment, the man who was sitting at the round table turned his head. A decadent voice came out of his mouth.

“Come. Ronan.”

“Jarodine? Were you here?”

“okay. I came here for work and heard your story. He did it brilliantly.”

Ronan’s eyes widened. The man’s true identity was Jarrodin Stonesong. A steaming teacup was placed in front of him.

“…by the way, you came with something strange. I don’t think it’s the core.”

Jarrodin, who was suddenly scanning Ronan up and down, frowned. His sharp gaze stayed exactly near Ronan’s heart.

“As expected, the professor sees it. What the hell is this?”

“I wonder too. Let’s finish our business with the principal and see.”

“Heh heh, is it finally this old man’s turn?”

Kratir led Ronan to the round table. His seat was originally his seat. A slightly excited voice came out of Kratir, who sat facing Ronan.

“The reason I called Ronan-kun… is nothing more than to commend the achievements at the Tower of Dawn. It’s been nearly eighty years since I’ve been the principal of Phileon, but this is the first time I’ve ever seen a student like you.”

“Is that a good thing?”

“Heh heh, about 80 percent.”

Kratir laughed. Hearing the word Chihara, Ronan sighed in relief.

He was worried that he had called to ask him to take responsibility for his club activities so far. It was because they were committing something that had nothing to do with tearing up the club building with space magic at the level of a monthly event.

“Aun Pillar has been contacted directly. With excitement, he talked about you and Miss Erzevet. Originally, I wasn’t a student who showed emotions that well.”

“It happened by accident, it didn’t matter.”

“If that wasn’t a big deal, there wouldn’t have been a word like an event or an activity in the world. How could you say such a thing while saving the top lord Lardan-sama and stopping the resurrection of the forbidden book Vajura?”

Kratir recites Ronan’s actions like a servant recounting the monarch’s achievements. It seemed quite happy to see that there were no formal safety warnings.

‘Are you supposed to do the book yourself?’

Seeing that there was no mention, it seemed that the treatment of Vajura was also left to Ronan. Or all of Aun Pilar and Baren kept their mouths shut. Kratir, who was struggling with happiness, finished his speech.

“I am so proud of you. Apparently, there is a position on the Dawning Tower side, so it will be difficult to congratulate the vacant position for the time being, but I wanted to express my gratitude even in this way.”

“Thank you so much. Anyway, thank you.”

“okay. Now tell me what you want.”

“You want it?”

“There should be a reward commensurate with merit. I wouldn’t even have called you if I’d just ended it by saying thank you.”

Ronan scratched his head. I had already eaten too much from the Tower of Dawn, so I couldn’t think of anything that could be different. Normally, it would have been easy to ask for a scholarship or rush, but Ronan, the second-ranking student, was already receiving a full scholarship.

‘Ummm… nothing comes to mind.’

It couldn’t be denied though. I thought about asking them to take me with space magic wherever I went, but that was also unrealistic.

‘right.’

At that moment, the faces of the club members passed in front of me. Ronan snapped his fingers and said.

“Ah, can you provide a training ground for the club?”

“Hey, a training ground?”

“yes. It is a spacious and strong place.”

The separate training ground was the most necessary facility for the special adventure club. Ronan knew that Sita’s blood magic training was still taking place outside the site.

Nest’s training area wasn’t bad either, but it felt cramped for those with a wide range of skills, such as Asher and Schlieffen, to exert their full power.

“To be strong enough to be okay even if the dragon runs wildly… is honestly unreasonable. It would be nice if it was just enough that Jaifa and Nabiroje would not collapse even if they compete with all their might.”

“It’s not easy.”

“It would be better if it was closer to the club.”

Ronan had only two requirements. wide and strong. However, the problem was that the standard value of these two conditions was higher than expected. Kratir, who was drooling, opened his mouth.

“Hmmm, I get it. I’ll try to figure it out.”

“thanks. Would it be difficult?”

“No. I’ll try to make it before winter comes. This will be fun.”

The word “make” came to mind, but Ronan didn’t really stick to that point. The two talked for a long time. There were so many things that had been done in the past that the conversation never stopped.

“By the way, Ronan-kun, is it true that Hell Prominence was cast? It’s a magic that Laardan-sama used on the Southern Front 20 years ago and sealed off.”

“If you’re talking about that fucking fire, you’re right. Vajura grinded right in front of my eyes.”

“Heh heh, as long as you drink mana, it’s a flame that constantly expands. How the hell did you get rid of it?”

“I set fire to the five scrolls that Aun Pillar gave me. No more mana to burn.”

Kratir chuckled. It was in the midst of enumerating the saga at the Tower of Dawn. Deng-! Deng-! Suddenly, a clear bell rang from Kratir’s pocket.

“Hey, look at my mind.”

Kratir rubbed his forehead and got up. The bell was ringing from his pocket watch. He hurriedly adjusted his clothes, looking at Ronan and Jarrodin in turn.

“I’m sorry. This old man will go first. Let’s both get some rest.”

“Where are you going all of a sudden?”

“Itra Gorge in the north. I forgot to visit because of the Baeksuje (百獸祭) event to be held next month.”

“White water?”

“Once again, I would like to pay tribute to Ronan-kun for his hard work. See you next time.”

Ronan was about to say something, but by that time Kratir’s palms had already touched. match! With a clap of hands, his figure disappeared.

“···what?”

Ronan frowned at the sudden situation. Seeing that he disappeared without an explanation, it seemed that the schedule was quite tight.

white supremacist When I heard the name, it seemed like some kind of festival, but it seemed as if I could remember it. There was an awkward silence revolving around. Jarrodin, who had been staring at Ronan all the time, opened his mouth.

“It’s strange.”

“Oh, do you think you know what it is?”

“I don’t know yet. It’s different from any core or circle I’ve seen before. Come here for a second.”

Jordin’s face was frowned upon. There was definitely a problem in seeing that even the cost of mana recognized by others could not be grasped just by looking at it.

He put his hand on Ronan’s back and started the full-scale search. Perhaps it was because he almost died once, so he had a more cautious attitude than before. Jarrodin’s mouth opened softly after he had been doing it for a while.

“···Unbelievable.”

“It’s also sloppy. can’t it be done somehow? I don’t care if I can live another ten years.”

“It’s not like that. Can you explain how you got this power source?”

“Lieutenant? So···.”

Ronan explained what had happened at the Tower of Dawn. It was not mentioned in the conversation with Kratir. He knew everything Jarrodin knew anyway, so there was nothing to hide except for the sparkling mana coming out.

“Vajura’s ego has vanished in your body? Maybe it’s the vajura of destruction I was talking about earlier?”

“yes. It’s the toilet paper you are talking about.”

“I can’t believe it… Then it makes sense. It wouldn’t be possible without a force of that magnitude to intervene.”

Jarrodin chuckled. When he saw Sarante’s ring, it was an expression he had never made before. Ronan groaned angrily.

“Damn, what’s going on under my ribs?”

“Some of the curse that had occupied your heart is gone. No, technically speaking, it has disappeared.”

“Yes?”

Ronan’s face hardened. Suddenly I had no idea what this meant. The curse is gone? Jarrodin continued, leaving Ronan, who was stunned, behind him.

“It must be close to being merged to be precise. I’ll have to listen to Professor Sacret’s opinion, but that’s what I felt first.”

“…Tell me in detail.”

“Two of the nine remaining are gone. On the surface, it makes sense.”

Jarrodin said that two of Ronan’s nine curses had disappeared. The problem was that it didn’t completely disappear like the ban on Haejuhan. The two curses fused with unidentified powers were transformed into chunks of mana while maintaining their effects.

“Shake.”

Ronan let out a swear word. In short, it was said that the tumor that settled in the chest was a lump made by mixing the mighty power of Vajura and part of the curse. Rather, it was an existence so evil that the dung that the devil wracked felt more noble.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s a new source of power like never before.”

“Is it okay to use this? So… just like a normal core.”

“There is nothing wrong with it. In terms of structure, it is far superior to a normal core or circle. It’s unprecedented, so it will take a lot of effort to make it work properly.”

“I’m glad I did.”

“Another interesting thing is that this mass is completely separate from your existing four hearts. If you succeed in forming the core, you will be dealing with two power sources.”

Ronan nodded. It was as expected. Apparently, the sparkling mana was derived from the power of Vajura. Or maybe it was because of the curse placed on him by his father.

“That’s all I know for now. Come to me whenever you encounter difficulties.”

“thanks. Jordin.”

Jarrodin sip the tea without saying a word. When Ronan learned of the tumor’s identity, he fell into thought. At first, I thought it was just like having a fucking accident, but after thinking about it, I think it was pretty good.

‘How can I use it?’

Being able to handle two cores, putting everything else aside, was a definite advantage. Moreover, as we will have to investigate further, it seems that Vajura’s core is hiding a ridiculous ability. Ronan, who was rubbing his chin, opened his mouth.

“Jarodine. Let me ask you one question.”

“what?”

“Is it possible to copy someone else’s aura? or dealing with multiple aurors.”

“impossible.”

“Is that so too?”

Just by looking at his tone, he could tell how absurd it was. Ronan left the principal’s office at the end of the conversation. As I stepped out of the tower, the intense sunlight poured over my head. The pale blue sky heralded the deepening summer.

‘It’s a masterpiece. Ronan as Nebula Clazier.’

tumor. No, I could feel the core of evil, which had now become my second heart, pulsing with a different beat. The car was just moving. A familiar voice came from behind.

“Sa, save me!”

“Asher?”

Ronan turned his head. Asher, holding a book with both hands, was running towards her.

“Yumma, what are you doing there?”

“Why, why is this happening…!”

I called out loud, but there was no answer. With his eyes closed, he seemed to be quite frightened.

“Ugh. Pathetic bastard.”

It was around the time he came within four steps. Ronan, who switched the power source, hit the floor with his right foot. thud! As the waves of mana spread, sparkling roots wrapped around Asher’s ankles.

“Wow?!”

Asher, bound suddenly, fell forward. Ronan ran out and grabbed his hood. Asher’s face stopped, leaving a gap about a finger between the floor and the bridge of the nose.

“What’s the matter, you’re making such a fuss?”

“Ro, Ronan…?!”

Asher noticed Ronan’s presence just then and widened her eyes. He became white and trembled with his limbs.

“You, this is not the time for you either! You have to run away!”

“If you ask me one more time, I will hang you from the street lamp.”

“Heyyy…! Mi, I’m sorry…! That, so, so now…!”

“now?”

Aww! Suddenly, a roar rang out from beyond the corner Asher had come out of. The screams of the people spread like wildfire. The sound of breaking and cracking was getting closer and closer.

Asher cried out in a weeping voice.

“The Manticore to be displayed at the Pear, Baeksuje Festival has been released!”
