Academy’s Genius Swordsman

32. Reunion (2)

#32

“You are one of the few lucky kids in the world. make sure to watch it It will go up to places you can’t see in an instant.”

Black hair like chestnuts, pure white skin, and a high nose caught my eye. Nabirose whispered her name softly.

“Adeshan.”

“yes. By the way, I don’t really feel the mana. Is your natural mana weak like me?”

“It’s worse. You have somehow reached the level of a sword user, but not a single drop of mana can be felt from that child.”

“It’s possible that… such a thing is possible….”

Adeshan watched Ronan’s spear as if possessed by something. There was not a single word of extravagance in the flowing movements.

After finishing the demonstration of the imperial spear, Ronan picked up a shield and a short sword. Adeshan murmured.

“If I keep trying, will I ever become like that?”

Nabirose did not answer. It was a silence as cold as reality. But Adeshan didn’t care and continued to burn envy. Soon, Ronan’s demonstration was over.

“After… I’ve done it.”

Ronan dropped the mace to the floor. There was silence for a while, and applause was heard from among the seniors. The clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap … someone shouted

“Awesome, freshman!”

Then there was a sporadic burst of praise for Ronan. But none of that reached Ronan’s ears. The heat seeping from his body dulled his senses.

“Hey bastard, it’s hot.”

No matter how much a knife was cut in the air, I was sweating profusely as I tried to do it continuously. The jacket and tie had been untied long ago.

Ronan lifted the hem of his shirt and wiped the sweat from his face. Abs reminiscent of those of a wild beast were revealed at first glance. Some girls covered their mouths and started to gossip.

“There is no elixir. I will take Nabirose-sama’s class for this taste.”

“Crazy year. By the way, shall I go and ask you about your age?”

Ronan lifted his head only after wiping off his sweat. Nabi Rose, who met their eyes, nodded as if congratulating them on their hard work. Then someone came with a towel.

“I, there. I saw you really well. There was really no mistake that was just the end of the tee.”

“Oh yeah. thanks.”

“If it’s okay next time, I want to take a lesson. The name…”

“It’s Ronan.”

Ronan picked up the towel. It was the moment when I turned my head to say thank you. When Ronan ran into a girl who was taller than him, he hardened like a stone.

“… General?”

“uh? General…?”

The towel fell on the floor. Adeshan tilted her head in embarrassment. Sweat dripped down from his forehead and pooled on the tip of his chin, but Ronan did not blink an eye and looked at her face. Then Ronan’s mouth opened.

“Adeshan.”

“Uh, huh? Do you know my name?”

Adeshan’s eyes widened. Although he was young, his face hardly changed. Ronan picked up the towel and wiped his face.

Ronan thought it was fortunate that he was sweating profusely. A drop of liquid, not sweat, that came out of the eye could be smeared over.

The classes of Nabi Rose were mainly in Dalian. After a simple theory and a swordsmanship demonstration, it was a form of teaming up with anyone and fighting.

What the butterfly rose taught me today was the one-choice meal of the butterfly rose. It was a technique that made it difficult for the opponent to deal with the sword that was wrapped around like a snake.

Ronan would normally have turned on the lights and imitated it, but today the Young class didn’t come into my head. He was thinking about the young general who handed him the towel.

‘He looked young, but he must be similar to me.’

There are people who do not forget even if they try to forget. Ronan, who had experienced death once, knew such people.

So was my beloved sister, and so was the punitive comrades who giggled every night. The general, who ceded the future at the last moment, was one of them.

After receiving the towel, Ronan stood still for a long time. Adeshan looked at Ronan like that strangely, then ran to Nabi Rose’s call.

‘Something…the atmosphere was very different.’

Ronan recalled the image of Adeshan he had seen in his previous life. The youngest general of the Imperial Army. The Duke of Acalusia, the great family. There was not a single glitch in her who wielded a million forces.

‘He was a person who believed even if molten iron flowed through his veins instead of blood.’

General Adeshan, whom Ronan knew, was an extremely cold and rational human being. At the time of the decisive battle with Ahayute, most of the remaining troops, including the Imperial Knights, were sent as escorts of the punitive force, and it was evident from the fact that they were polished.

He did not reveal his emotions at all, and he did not choose any means and methods to achieve his goal. At the last moment with Ronan, he opened his heart, but even then, he did not see any gaps as a general.

But now, he has a rich expression and a somewhat immature figure stood out. Nasudo, who was practicing swordsmanship alone, shouted.

“Adeshan Assistant! Please take a look here!”

“Ah, I’m leaving now!”

Adeshan ran away, carrying a pile of papers. She was acting as an assistant for Nabirose.

Nasudo pierced the rapier in the air and performed his swordsmanship. Adeshan carefully analyzed his posture and corrected it.

“Ummm…it’s okay overall, but there’s a little bit of strength in my left thigh. Would you like to lower the output of the core by 20% and put the center of gravity in front of the right?”

“Oh, that’s much better. thank you.”

Nasudo expressed his gratitude. Adeshan left a friendly smile and went to see the posture of the other students. Ronan frowned at the meticulous yet friendly look.

I couldn’t really relate to the aspect of my previous life. Then I got a question. How many lives is Adeshan living now?

‘It’s the first or the third…’

I couldn’t figure it out because I didn’t know exactly the effect of the beads. However, looking at the current figure, anyone could see that he was living his first life. Adeshan’s smile was not the expression of a person worn out by the repeated storms of life.

‘Is there no possibility of a fourth life? No, then I must have been living by cutting fabric. So the general I knew died there? Damn, what happened?’

My head was dizzy at the growing question. Then someone’s voice came from behind.

“Hey, freshman. I just watched the show. Were you terrified?”

Ronan turned his head. A tall, stout-looking young man was standing there. He said, pointing to Braum and Nasdo, both wielding swords and rapiers vigorously.

“I heard rumors. You said you smashed those two idiots completely?”

“Yes?”

“Why, at the entrance ceremony? That needlessly oversized idiot and a slender-looking guy like his own weapon.”

He was taking off his tie, so he couldn’t figure out the correct grade. However, seeing Braum and Nasdo behaving badly, it was obvious that they were more senior students.

It was a little annoying to deal with two people who knew each other, but I thought that it could be the case if we were close. The young man held out his hand.

“It’s Cardan Oun. Please.”

“It’s Ronan.”

“To be honest, I felt a little weird seeing you. How can you handle so many different types of weapons so perfectly?”

“I just did what I was taught.”

Cardan continued to praise Ronan. It felt a bit excessive or contrived, but Ronan thought it was so and passed it on.

There’s no reason to hate someone who likes you. Cardan swung his spear and continued.

“Would you like to fight with me? I want to learn something from a junior with a promising future.”

“okay. Are you right here?”

“no. Wait a minute. hey! Adeshan!”

“Yes?!”

Cardan shouted. Adeshan, who was running soon, stopped in front of the two of them. Cardan said nervously.

“Anyway, it’s slow. Go and get my spear.”

“window? What I’m holding right now is…”

“You idiot, if you pretend, you have to pretend. It’s a spear and you’re telling me to bring a short spear. Hurry up and get it.”

“Ah, yes!”

Adeshan turned around and ran. boring year. Cardan muttered so. Ronan narrowed his eyebrows, seeing a servant who seemed to be treating him as a servant rather than an assistant.

“Isn’t it enough if I just ask you to bring it when you call?”

“Yes? Ahaha, I must have been a little surprised. sorry. I can’t stand people trying to get their rights on a subject they don’t have the skills for. Like him.”

Cardan pointed to Adeshan, who was wandering in search of the spear. He explained that Adeshan was not qualified to take Nabirose’s classes.

“Originally, Nabirose-sama’s class, ‘Advanced Practical Swordsmanship,’ could only be taken after reaching the level of a Sword Expert. But that kid is still taking classes even though he’s still on the level of a sword user. Shamelessly.”

“Why are you letting me take a class?”

“Don’t talk. How ugly it was to beg for even a cheonggang. Do you know our school year? Nabirose-sama, who couldn’t stand it, hired him as a teaching assistant.”

In short, Adeshan desperately wanted to take the class of the former Sword Master Nabirose, but did not meet the conditions. So, with his observational skills and meticulousness in the lead, he asked for a teaching assistant, and Nabirose accepted.

Nimi, what’s the matter? Ronan said.

“Isn’t it possible because it has its own potential? I just looked at it, and it seems that the role of a teaching assistant is quite good.”

“What, did you like that distant bastard? This is shocking. Even though her face is a little smooth, her taste is young…”

“Cardan! Here’s the window…!”

At that moment, Adeshan, who was running with a javelin, stopped in front of the two of them. A few drops of sweat were running down her white cheeks. Cardan said, tapping Adeshan’s forehead.

“If you’re slow…if your skills aren’t good, you shouldn’t have to play the role of a teaching assistant. Originally, I wasn’t even qualified to take classes.”

“Hey, stop it… Cardan.”

“You have to put a senior. huh? I’m in 3rd grade now. On the subject of a paid student.”

Cardan didn’t stop. Ronan looked around. Nabirose was talking with Schlieffen in that corner. A few seniors were staring at this place, but no one stopped them, they just stood by.

‘Girl.’

Ronan licked his lips. My stomach was bloated and I couldn’t stand it any longer. He placed his hand on Cardan’s shoulder, mocking Adeshan.

“It’s our battles. I can’t see you anymore.”

“uh? so be it But why are you talking like that all of a sudden? Can’t you see me anymore?”

“I do not know? get ready soon Can you write it over there?”

Several long, wide rectangles were drawn on the floor of the first arena. It was a divided area so that other groups and Dalian movement lines did not overlap.

Ronan went to one end of a nearby rectangle and stood up. Cardan, who snatched a javelin from Adeshan, took a seat on the other side. Seeing Ronan’s expression, Cardan spoke nervously.

“I don’t think it’s a look that seniors can see. What did you not like so much, junior?”

“Shut up, I’m glad this is Phileon.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden? And are you talking nonsense now?”

“okay. You fucking bastard.”

The rectangle shone brightly, signaling the start of the battle. Ronan ran out and pulled the hilt.
