Academy’s Genius Swordsman

25. Admission

#25

The cut surface was clean. Braum stared blankly at the severed sword. Ronan answered indifferently.

“I just saw it once and copied it.”

“I saw it once… and copied it…?”

Braum’s expression hardened. It was fortunate that no one else had heard Ronan’s words.

Because the sophomores of the martial arts department, especially those taking Nabirose’s class, were already too surprised.

“Bar, just…! The freshman used Nabirose-sama’s spinning sword, right?”

“Is it possible to be a hidden disciple? How could it be so perfect…!”

Butterfly type 3-second type, rotating sword.

Among the swordsmanship created by Nabirose, it was a herbivore that played a crucial role.

A technique for maximizing power and overcoming differences in physique by giving rotation to the whole body, not just weapons or specific parts.

If the balance was even a little disturbed, the power was sharply halved, so it was a difficult herbivore for even graduates to follow.

However, Ronan was using the rotating sword perfectly just by seeing it once.

Nine people remain. Ronan, who defeated Braum, rushed to the other students.

Kang!

“Hey, what is this!”

The blade swung and ripped the wind. Ronan swung horizontally, vertically, and diagonally and fired a sword at the weapons of his seniors.

Kwajak!

“Shit! freshman!”

Whoops!

“Ah, it’s the spear I cherished!!”

Metallic and plosive sounds resounded in succession. Each time Ronan’s body rotated, the weapon with a broken handle bounced into the air.

There was no dialogue between the astonished faculty. Nabi Rose, who was looking at Dalian, laughed.

“Did you take it then?”

Nabi Rose remembered the time when she pointed a sword at Ronan’s neck during the practical exam. That was the only time the technology could be stolen. I could tell just by looking at the use of a spinning sword, which was only a three-second one among the nine herbivores.

‘I thought I’d show you some other herbivores.’

Only one month has passed since the practical exam. Nabirose trembled at the feeling of exaltation that she had finally found her successor, but twisted her lips as if somehow nobility.

“But you still have a cheeky side. Do you want to be a clown?”

Ronan deliberately slowed down and was swinging his sword. The reason was unknown. However, it was noticeable that the sword attack was several times slower than that shown at the time of the practical test.

to the point of being visible to the general public.

“Wow! Awesome Ronan! Aww! Guys, that’s my little brother!”

Iril cried out Ronan’s name while shedding tears. Ronan’s splendidly subduing more than ten opponents was great even for Iril, who knew nothing about swords.

Seeing that, Ronan smiled.

‘This would be enough for a skill event.’

Kachang! As Ronan’s body rotated again, Nasudo’s weapon was shattered. Nasudo stared blankly at the rapier that had only a sack left.

“···damn.”

Nasudo threw the hilt. No one was holding a weapon any more except Ronan.

No sound could be heard from either side of the audience. Kratir quietly pulled out his pocket watch and checked the time.

The time it took to subdue the ten seniors, exactly 2 minutes and 28 seconds.

“·······Whew.”

A shiver ran through his body. This must be how a diver feels when he finds gold at the riverbed.

The joy of being an educator. It was the moment Kratir was about to declare the outcome of the contest.

“thank you for your effort. Seniors.”

The lead Ronan suddenly bowed his back. There was still silence, so everyone could hear Ronan’s voice. The first to react was Marya, who was sitting in the audience.

“Why is he there?”

Marya frowned as if she had seen a dead dog hit by a wagon. Considering Ronan’s usual behavior, it was an unimaginable act. Ronan looked at each second-year student and opened his mouth.

“It was a good fight. I wanted to see how far my sword could reach. I’ve done it once, but I don’t know how nervous they were because they were all so talented.”

The 2nd graders, who had been dying, raised their heads. People’s eyes widened.

It was as if he had become a completely different person. Ronan continued to speak in a way that lowered himself and raised the self-esteem of his seniors.

“My human being was ripe and I couldn’t contain my blood. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the seniors who listened to their reckless and rude requests.”

The crowd began to roar. Negative impressions of Ronan were being diluted. Ronan bowed his head like a wedge. Be courteous, but not scornful.

“It was Ronan, a freshman in the martial arts department.”

Again, the whole area fell into silence. After finishing his Japanese speech, Ronan gently raised his head and looked at Iril.

“…Ronan.”

She looked at herself, wiping her eyes with a handkerchief. Ronan smiled softly. Again, it was a perfect plan.

Ronan really wanted to reassure Iril. The recent apology was also part of the process. A child’s friendship is the number one concern of parents along with their health.

The mere fact of being good at ssambaak was not enough. I had to instill a certain level of confidence that I could get along well with the people around me.

At that point, the worried sister would calmly let go of her heart. Even if he sent his one and only family to a distant island, he would have been able to live with a smile as usual.

When I think of that face, it was not uncommon for me to bow my head so far.

Look at this, sister. Because I can do it well.

“What a lovely junior!! I’m wrong!!”

Then, breaking the silence, Braum’s voice resounded. Braum, who ran with a thump, grabbed Ronan’s arm and lifted it up.

“Don’t say that, Ronan! You defeated us all with your fair skills! I, Braum, admit it!!”

“I was lucky.”

“Ha ha ha ha ha! You are a humble genius, this is so unlucky!! Principal!! Please declare a winner!”

“…Ah, that’s right.”

Kratir, who woke up late, looked at the 2nd graders. Faces that were much softer than before caught my eye.

“…were you a better child than you thought?”

“I know. I thought I was an asshole who lived in my good taste.”

“reliable! freshman!”

Kratir recalled what Ronan had said. It was a very mature response, even considering that he had entered the twilight period. After all, he handled the case that could have created an emotional goal in a wonderful way.

“Then we will announce the winner. The winner of this ‘light greeting’ is…”

I didn’t know there was such a thing. Kratir smiled.

“1 Grade! Ronan student!”

“Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

The stagnant atmosphere heated up like an explosion. Thunderous cheers erupted from all camps. Kratir grabbed the air and pulled it upwards.

– Gugugugu!

Ronan’s feet soared and a tall podium was built. Ronan, who reached the air in an instant, spit out swear words.

“Damn it, what is it?”

“Ronan! Ronan! Ronan! Ronan! Ronan…!”

From the top of the podium, the scenery of Phileon could be seen at a glance. It was where he was supposed to live for the next five years. A voice was heard calling out his name from a distance. Ronan chuckled.

“It doesn’t even make a fuss.”

****

After that, the entrance ceremony went smoothly.

A simple greeting with magic was an overwhelming victory for the seniors. Except for Erzebet, the head of the freshman class, all nine of them were defeated by the sophomores.

“Sorry, I’m sorry, Erzebet-sama!”

The defeated comrades bowed their heads toward Erzebet. But the dark purple haired girl only turned her head proudly and bit her tongue.

“Twitter.”

“Boo, please forgive me!”

It looked just like a cat raised in a wealthy house. Erzebet eventually returned to the audience without accepting an apology from her classmates.

Asher, crushed by her momentum, shuddered in fear.

“Hey, someone like that is my motive…”

“I know. I think I’m fucked, what should I do, Asher?”

Various procedures were carried out, and at the end Schlieffen and Erzebet, the heads of each department, read the oath.

What do you think about learning and what the future will do? Once again, the ceremony ended with the congratulations from Kratir and the faculty.

“I’ve been through a lot, so I need to get rid of the humiliation, right? Banquet seats are available in the main hall of Gallerion Castle. Everyone please go!”

After that, the freshman banquet was prepared, but Lee Ril, an observer, could not attend. Ronan hurriedly left the banquet hall to see her off.

“Asher. I’m playing with Marya first. I’ll be the one to see you off.”

“Yes···!”

A carriage was already waiting in front of the front door. Ronan loaded the items he had bought for his sister one by one.

Even though I moved my luggage as slowly as possible, the end came. Illyl said.

“It was so much fun. It was the happiest time of my life.”

“Until I say that.”

“no. My sister is really relieved now. When can I meet you this time?”

“It’s summer vacation… in five months.”

“Hehe, it’s long. Still, can I not worry about my sister?”

Ronan nodded. In front of the station, a previously called carriage was waiting. Sita, who was sitting on Ronan’s shoulder, rubbed her face at Iril.

“Byeah~”

“Sita, you’re fine.”

Iril was smiling brightly as always, but the tone of voice filled with regret. She continued stroking her brother’s face.

“You must eat well. one week. No, write me once a month. Don’t follow strange people. You shouldn’t bully your friends because you’re strong. If you have a girlfriend… you have to tell your sister when you’re dating.”

“I’ll think about the last two.”

Ronan laughed softly. Laughing hehehe, Iril tidied up Ronan’s collar.

“Then I will go.”

Iril got into the wagon. Ronan waved until the carriage disappeared as a small dot. Sita, who was staring at the place where she had left, bowed her head.

“Bye-woo-woong…”

The four wings were drooping. It was only two days, but it seemed like a lot of affection. Ronan, who looked at the place where the carriage had left, sighed.

“Five months.”

It was too long. In fact, if we wanted to meet, we could meet every weekend. I was allowed to go out on the weekends.

But Nimburton was too far away for that. Even a round trip would take two full days. Ronan was contemplating something and muttered.

“How much is a decent house on the island?”

It was a problem that would be resolved if Iril came to the system. For the first time in my life, I felt the need to raise money.

But I didn’t want to focus on that right now. The money will come gradually anyway, because that wasn’t the most important thing right now.

– If you want to learn, go to Phileon.

‘finally.’

I never forgot Adeshan’s words for a moment. There were many things, but in any case, we succeeded in achieving our primary goal. Ronan turned towards Phileon.

“Sita. let’s go.”

“Bye!”

Now it was the beginning.
