Academy’s Genius Swordsman

＜ 154. Toward the Holy Land (1) ＞

#154

“Uhhhh… it wasn’t bad.”

It was late in the morning when Ronan returned to Phileon. A half moon hung in the clear night sky. It was cheap, and it felt really good to get drunk.

The banquet was enjoyable. Contrary to the expectations of the punitive soldiers, there was no such thing as fried fairy or booze made from dragon tears. Although there were good foods on the table that were as good as those there.

‘It’s a woman.’

Ronan lowered his gaze suddenly and looked at his waist. Balon’s sword was creaking at the new owner.

I still didn’t feel good. The unlearned swordsman who rolled with an arrowhead in his previous life became a secret agent of the Empire. At this point, even the novel would have been criticized for being implausible.

‘It’s all over.’

But Ronan was clearly aware that this was a reality. I had no intention of doing anything about it.

He was going to eat up the rights and privileges he had obtained to the very root of the pillar. Although he had a low status, he was confident that he would make good use of it in his own way as he had been in the army for 7 years.

‘.

However, if there was one thing that kept me worried, it was Zaipa, the current swordsman. The reason he didn’t get drunk even though he almost poured alcohol into his stomach was largely due to his concern for the tiger.

Jaifa never showed up at the banquet hall. Aside from being dismissed by the emperor in front of people, I had a foreboding that he might be harboring a terrible misunderstanding.

‘I’m not the kind of person who will do harm to people I don’t have a relationship with…’

Those dazzling eyes still lingered in my mind. The sole survivor, Major Nemea, was still stunned and not waking up. She must come to her senses before she can find out the truth of the matter. Ronan was just about to enter the Navardoze coffin.

“It was late. Ronan.”

“Hey fuck, that’s a surprise.”

A voice came from the darkness. Ronan turned his head. Schlieffen was standing leaning against the front door of the dormitory. I had so many thoughts that I didn’t even notice it’s existence.

“I have heard about what has happened in the past. A lot has happened.”

“Where have you been and are you crawling in now?”

“It is about noon today. I went to the Grancia estate. As soon as I arrived, I stopped by Ms. Ill’s house and she served me a dish that I didn’t ask for, even though it was just a matter of time. Live with the awareness that you are always a lucky person.”

Seeing him say those words with a serious expression, Schlieffen was right. It was really a stand-by I haven’t seen in a long time. Still unlucky, his handsome face was shining white in the moonlight.

Since then, Schlieffen has been arguing for a long time about whether he had given his sister the spring clothes he had commissioned from an exclusive tailor, or whether the appearance was really reminiscent of an angel. Ronan’s soulless nodding gaze accidentally touched Schlieffen’s chest.

‘What did this bastard fall for?’

Ronan chuckled. Surprisingly, there was no significant change in his size, but it was clear that he had suffered as much as he did for a month. The energy of the core had increased by almost 20% compared to the last time I saw it.

But now, that wasn’t the point. Ronan’s brow twitched.

“But you crazy. Are you still waiting here?”

“Hmm… your body has been trained more there. Mana has also become much more pure. After all, you are my only enemy.”

Schlieffen turned around, but did not deny that he was still waiting. So, he was an insane kid. With his back off the wall, he continued.

“Then we have to fight, so let’s go. I have to leave for Parzan in a few hours.”

“ah.”

Schlieffen’s expression was extremely serious. Today is the departure day, and I couldn’t make a decision, so it was okay.

Judging from the reaction, it seems that this young bastard doesn’t even know the truth about the Sword Ritual. Ronan sighed and ruffled his bangs back.

“Uh… I don’t know how you’re going to hear this. We don’t have to fight.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that the sister deceived us. Damn, I think it’s all about being pretty and in good shape.”

Ronan passed on the information he had heard from the emperor. In the first place, anyone can apply for participation, and it is to pick out those who can sprout from within. Nabirose deceived us.

“········”

Although the information was quite shocking, Schlieffen’s face did not move even as the story progressed. After the explanation, Ronan yawned loosely. Because I had been busy in the morning, I was feeling tired like a wave.

“Ahhhh… maybe in the morning I will tell you the truth. I sleep.”

“wait.”

He was just about to enter the dormitory. bang! Schlieffen, who had been lashing out, blocked the door with his sword. Ronan frowned.

“Are you crazy?”

“You haven’t even dabbed yet, so where are you going? Follow me.”

“No, did you hear me through your asshole? Because I don’t have to fight.”

“I was aware of the conditions for participation. But Instructor Nabirose said he would take one person, and he said it was the one who won in Dalian. I certainly heard that.”

I got drunk There was no such ignorance. Ronan said in a tone of exasperation.

“No, that’s because it’s absolutely deceitful. To be honest, who is going to leave without you or me?”

“You will find out by tomorrow morning.”

“… my brother is tired. I’ll deal with you in the morning, so go and wash your feet and go to bed.”

“Fighting with you was also one of my main purposes. Are you afraid of losing to me?”

“what?”

Veins appeared on Ronan’s forehead. I wondered what I was hearing now. He calmed his mind with a deep breath and opened his mouth.

“Say it again.”

“I asked if I was afraid of losing. Otherwise, there would be no reason to step out in such a rude way. Your body has grown, but your heart has shrunk.”

“under.”

Ronan chuckled. Now that I see, he wasn’t just a knife, he was a good joker with his tongue. His ability to defy his heart was unusual.

“Such a fucking bastard.”

Ronan, who was laughing, pulled the hilt of the hilt. In my two lives, I’ve never heard of such a thing and just passed on it.

Shreung! The sword of La Mancha came out of the sheath with a dark light. He growled as he pointed the tip of his sword at Schlieffen’s neck.

“Come on right now.”

“You are back now. Let’s move places first.”

“You better be prepared. When your little one loses, I’ll cut off the butt part of my pants and bring it to my sister.”

The two walked side by side. I was trying to get through it well, but it didn’t seem like it would work. The hangover and fatigue were long gone.

****

The dawn was bright. The chirping of birds could be heard under the slowly fading sky. Because it was still early, there were no students walking around the campus.

“Where have you been going?”

Nabi Rose, who was walking on the campus, sighed. Wearing a neat uniform, the secret sword Urusa was attached to her back. The carriage to the Holy Land Parzan was waiting at the front door, but the two men to go together were nowhere to be seen.

‘I must have heard that they both came yesterday.’

It wasn’t in the dormitory, and it wasn’t in Arena 1 either. Even after a large circle around the campus, his whereabouts were unknown. I had to leave slowly so that I could arrive on time, but it was difficult.

‘ah.’

At that moment, the image of a certain space flashed through her mind. I remember going there once when Ronan had a reception after returning from Haeju.

Nabirose moved to the north of the campus. Before long, a warehouse connected to the express adventure club caught my eye.

As I went down the stairs ignoring the hallucinogenic firewood, a huge training ground reminiscent of a runway unfolded before my eyes. The butterfly rose was frozen.

“This···.”

The training ground was literally full of shit. Sword marks large and small were scattered all over the floor, walls, and even the high ceilings. It was a landscape that seemed to have been swept away by a storm in the form of a blade.

Equipment and weapons that were helpful in training, such as a scarecrow or a magic engineer, were all torn to pieces. Rather than intentionally cutting it, it felt like it was swept away and destroyed.

The club building made of wood was cut lengthwise and divided into two. It was so dangerous that it seemed like it would fall on both sides even if it was touched even slightly. Nabi Rose laughed.

“Have you even risked your life to fight?”

It was the sword marks of Ronan and Schlieffen, without an excuse. Nabirose slowly stepped into the training ground. Not long after, she found two men lying in the middle of the training ground.

It was just like a drunken dog rolling around on the floor at will. It was funny to see him holding a black sword while wearing a rag. Bloodstains were scattered around the two of them.

Fortunately, he collapsed from exhaustion, not dead. Nabi Rose, who was moaning with her forehead pressed, opened her mouth.

“Get up.”

“Heh heh…! Instructor?!”

“Great!”

The two of them got up as if they were jumping. The skin exposed through the torn fabric was full of scars. It was as if they were fighting while not applying the medicine properly. said Nabirose.

“What the hell did you do last night?”

“Uh… nothing happened.”

“Don’t say nonsense.”

At Ronan’s answer, Nabirose sighed again. Even if the two companies had a hand-to-hand battle, they would have fought better than this. She reached out and pointed to the exit.

“Get ready in ten minutes. They both go together.”

“All right.”

“What is ‘I know’. I’m right, you bastard.”

right! Ronan slapped Schlieffen in the back of the head. Still, if he had a conscience, he graciously accepted. Ronan asked Nabirose a question.

“That’s right, Instructor. Did you mean to take both of them from the beginning?”

“no. The one who really lost was going to leave. That’s why it’s sure to motivate you.”

Nabirose said firmly. Ronan’s face hardened. Schlieffen, who was rubbing the back of his head, looked back at him. Ronan opened his mouth, avoiding his gaze as much as possible.

“Uh… then why are you taking them all?”

“Because it was obvious that there was no win or loss. They both worked really hard.”

I expected that both of them would get better and better, but I didn’t know they would develop to this extent. A smile appeared on Nabirose’s lips.

‘You can look forward to this festival of swords.’

In many ways, they were unprecedented disciples. We’ll have to go see the exact details, but it seemed obvious that it would cause a huge uproar. She walked briskly.

Exactly ten minutes later, with the sound of a whip, the carriage with three men departed. The destination is the holy city of Parzan. It was a noble land where the festival of swords was held.
