Academy’s Genius Swordsman

< 50. Express Adventure Club (2) >

#50

Recalling the conversation he had with Baren the day before, Ronan raised an eyebrow.

– It’s the habitat of the Curse Eye… Well, basically, it’s a place that people don’t visit and there’s plenty of mana. Curse is a type of mana after all.

‘You should try everything you can.’

Baidian’s ley was perfectly suited to that condition. Of course, he wasn’t just looking at the likely Curse Eye.

If you preempt the mana overflowing leyline, it will help you develop sensitivity, but you could also aim for a fairly savory profit through by-products.

‘You can’t be alone.’

I felt it again during the Gran Cappadocia crisis. A strong organization was needed to face the crisis.

So Ronan founded this club. I was planning to gather talented people who will be with me until the advent of the Advent, and use the information I learned from my past life to strengthen and expand my power.

In order to do that, it was necessary to make the most of the memories of previous lives. Marya asked again.

“Why don’t you talk? What is there in the Baidian Mountains?”

“It’s rushed. There is a fairly large lei. It will help you in many ways.”

The group’s eyes widened when they heard the word Ley. Asher, who had stopped by Ronan and Penardo Spring the other day, was even more surprised.

He remembered the amount of money he had earned and improved mana manipulation from a single visit. Braum laughed out loud.

“ha ha ha! I don’t know, but it must be fun! So when are we leaving?”

“That’s the problem. What are the subjects you are taking?”

Ronan handed out a piece of paper and had them draw a timetable. Because they were all honors students, the schedule was generally tight.

Ronan drooled. It only took two days to get to the Baidian Mountains. It was the time it would take, assuming that he was riding a swift steed instead of walking.

‘I can’t wait until vacation.’

We had to secure as much time as possible for smooth activities. I just wanted to beat everyone and let them do club activities, but that doesn’t mean I can’t stop them from learning what they want to learn.

Then Asher presented her timetable.

“Hey, here is Ronan. I drew it all.”

“Eh?”

Ronan frowned. Asher’s timetable was almost empty. Ronan said, pulling one of Asher’s cheeks straight.

“You are a bitch, what are you? Are you a paid aspirant? ok?”

“Ah! Oh no! Uh, I finished some subjects early a while ago…!”

“What?”

The moment I heard those words, a single flash of light flashed in my head. Ronan let go of the hand that pinched his cheek. Why didn’t I think of this because I also completed nine subjects early?

“Ugh, oh, it hurts…”

“Okay, Asher…Very good. Everyone, grab your weapons and follow me outside.”

“yes? suddenly?”

“ok. I was originally going to come up with a little plan, but I can’t.”

Ronan swung his La Mancha and went outside. The group followed him without knowing English.

At the center of Nest, there was a training space for various practical clubs. Ronan, standing in the middle of the training ground, said while looking at Marya and Braum.

“Now, from what I checked, the most time-consuming subjects are the basics. right?”

“It is not.”

“Wow! Because the basics are important!”

Ronan double-checked the courses the two of them were taking. All of these were subjects that I had completed early in the past. He perfectly remembered the posture and core of the subjects.

“Then what does this mean? All you have to do is complete all the basic courses early.”

“···What?”

“I have a lot of work to do in the future, but it’s good. From today onwards, you will come here every time you have spare time.”

Ronan put the La Mancha on his shoulder and giggled. It was good in many ways. Still, considering the dangers of the Baidian Mountains, taking it right away was a bit insecure.

Marya and Braum’s expressions hardened. Ronan, who looked at the two of them alternately, clapped his hands and shouted.

“Then, Marya, let’s start with Imperial swordsmanship and Braum’s intermediate martial arts. Everyone get ready.”

“Hey, wait a minute. What the hell is this…”

“Aren’t you going to pull out the knife?”

right! Ronan slashed Marya’s head with her scabbard. Reflexively drawing out her sword, Marya spit out swear words.

“Ouch! Are you crazy?!”

“The crazy thing is that you haven’t completed the Imperial Swordsmanship yet. What if I still hold onto that easy thing?”

“Damn, do you think everyone in the world is like you?!”

Marya protested as if it was unfair. right! right! right! Instead of answering, Ronan struck her on the top in a row.

Marya, smitten by evil, resisted desperately, but it was unreasonable to block La Mancha with a bayonet she had not yet mastered. Eventually, within minutes, a declaration of surrender was issued.

“aah! okay! You can’t do it, if you do!”

“That’s right. I usually use a wooden sword in class, but I know that because I have to wield that great sword here.”

Marya’s complexion turned white. Just thinking about it made my arms feel like they were separated from my body. Then said Braum, who was beating the scarecrow by himself.

“I think that’s a great idea! But in intermediate martial arts, fighting is an important subject, can I do it with you, Ronan?”

“right. You can do it with this girl when I’m not around.”

“With Marya junior? Still, the weight class is too different, isn’t it?”

Braum shrugged. In fact, the height difference between Marya and Braum was about two heads.

Ronan raised one corner of his mouth and blinked at Marya. I mean, I’d be pissed off, but I meant to give you a room. After thinking for a moment, Marya shook her head.

“done. How do you beat a senior?”

“Wow! Everyone in the club is a classmate, Marya! Still, you need to see your skill level, so give it a try!”

Braum shouted, banging his chest. The ragged muscles looked like they were about to rip off the school uniform at any moment. Marya sighed and clenched her fists.

“If that’s the case…”

“okay! It’s okay, so it’s okay.”

bang! Marya’s regime fell into Braum’s stomach. His eyes widened. Braum took a breath and sat down.

“Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh hehehe

“Oh, I couldn’t control my strength. it’s okay?”

“Wonderful… that’s amazing…!”

The shock that pierced through the muscles turned my stomach upside down. It felt like I had been hit with a hammer rather than a fist.

Marya held out her hand. Braum, who stood up holding her hand, looked as if he had attained enlightenment.

“I just sincerely… hahaha, I thought I did really well to join this club…! How to handle the Imperial Sword and Greatsword… Gagging, I’ll teach you!”

“yes? After all, you are also a great swordsman.”

So, the two suddenly drew their great swords and started a battle using only Imperial swordsmanship. It was quite spectacular to see two large swords the size of an adult man collide one after another in mid-air.

‘Seeing that the energy is still circulating, I think I can hold on to the physical training. Good job.’

Ronan smiled satisfied. Then Asher hesitated and approached.

“Hey… Ronan, what should I do?”

“Oh, right. You just have to attack me with those weapons.”

Ronan said, pointing to the training weapons piled up in the corner of the training ground. Asher thought she had heard it wrong this time and tilted her head.

“···yes?”

“You need to make more use of the deceitfulness of telekinesis.”

Ronan explained that it would be an extreme waste to use the power of the entire workshop only for defense. He ordered him to attack him using all the techniques Asher knew, not just weapons.

“Make it as anomalous as possible. I can see mana too, but I need some training.”

Ronan couldn’t help but train for his physical strength. Asher nodded reluctantly and chanted the spell.

“The Invisible Hand.”

As he moved his finger, dozens of sergeants floated into the air. One by one, the sergeants tilted their heads and aimed at Ronan, as if they were looking at the living soldiers.

“As expected, you were only waiting for this time, Asher. Did you want to kill me like that?”

“Oh, that can’t be…!”

“Noisy man. do it faster.”

The bracelet that Doron made was a good thing. It was a lot better than it had just been a while ago.

As Ashel swung her arm, the floating weapons rushed towards Ronan at once. Ronan grinned as he watched the blades flew through the wind.

“I think this bastard really waited.”

Ronan practiced reading the flow of mana while avoiding and striking the weapons flying like a swarm of bees. He did not forget to create a sense of crisis by aiming Ra Mancha at Asher’s neck over and over again.

“If it’s the same, it just happened again, man. You can put that slow zone or something around you. Wizards are said to be the first target in most battles.”

“Heyyy…! Ah Okay.”

The day’s training ended only when dusk fell. Ronan carried Asher, who was unable to walk due to lack of mana, and Asher transferred Marya and Braum, who were completely exhausted, to telekinesis.

****

“Ah, the shoulder. It’s been a long time since I’ve been overworked…”

It was night. Ronan returned to Arena 1 after throwing the exhausted members into the dormitory. After moving my body close to the limit in a short time, my whole body ached.

“it’s okay? Water here.”

“Thank you, Adeshan.”

When Adeshan finished his work, he handed him a bottle of water. Now, her kindness was gradually getting used to it. Adeshan said that there were quite a few applicants even today during the day.

“Are those who just left the last? There are no winners today?”

“I think so. It’s just that we don’t have such talented people…”

“Ahahaha, I’m just trying to apply if it’s not for the teaching assistant job.”

Adeshan laughed. She said that she did not have time for club activities because of Nabi Rose’s teaching job. Ronan, who emptied the water bottle, shook his head.

“I will not accept you even if you come.”

“Hey, why are you like this all of a sudden?”

Adeshan smiled and slapped Ronan’s arm. But he was sincere.

Lately, Ronan’s heart has been leaning toward carrying out the will of High Warlord Adeshan. It was none other than the existence of Nebula Clazier.

‘Since the identity has been revealed above the water, it will be more rampant.’

The future was already twisting irreversibly. If Ronan turned her talent into a general, she would naturally become a target for those fanatics.

Of course, considering Nebula Klajie’s actions, attempts to assassinate Adeshan must have continued in his previous life. It must have been that General Adeshan was born by evading all these tactics somehow.

But now she was not a returnee. Ronan didn’t want Adeshan to be in danger. I didn’t want to be dragged into that miserable muddy puddle until this lifetime.

‘Should I tell you soon? Give up your dream.’

-Quick profit…

With that thought in mind, the gates of the arena slowly opened. Through the gap in the open door, a girl with a robe pressed into it walked in. Ronan and Adeshan’s attention was focused at the same time.

“Is that kid…?”

It was the girl who came to me last night. Wavy silver-gray hair and bright red eyes. She looked at Sita, nodding above Ronan’s head.

“Byaa.

“…there is.”

The girl came right in front of Ronan and stopped. She stood still for a while, fixing her gaze on Sita. Ronan, who could not wait, opened his mouth first.

“Are you here for an interview?”

“interview···?”

Ronan nodded. He briefly explained about the express adventure club.

There was a reason that the time was generous, but the energy that came out of the girl at first glance was unusual. The silent girl’s lips parted softly.

“If you join your club… are you there?”

“Yes?”

“If I go to your club… can I keep seeing and touching that girl…?”

“That kid? Sita?”

Ronan glanced up at Sita. Sita, who had just woken up, was staring at her. Ronan nodded.

“Well… Sita follows me almost every day. Is that likely?”

“Then I’ll see you. interview.”

“okay. What is your name and grade?”

“…Ophelia. Magic and 3rd grade.”

“Wow, I thought you were in your second year at most, but you were in your third year. It’s like an entrance exam. All you have to do is give the magic engineering scarecrow one of your most confident skills.”

Ophelia nodded and stood in front of the scarecrow. For a moment, she saw mana gathering in her hands. It wasn’t the usual bluish color, but mana red like blood.

is it an auror? Just as Ronan thought so, Ophelia started singing. Meanwhile, she was looking at Sita.

“Eh?”

For a moment, Ronan’s eyes widened. A swirling red liquid was gathering at her fingertips. Ophelia, who sensed Ronan’s gaze, shrugged her shoulders.

“hot···!”

As if she had made a major mistake, she broke the old magic and chanted a new spell. Where the red liquid disappeared, a black energy loomed over it.

“Shadow Crow.”

The elongated shadow of Ophelia became huge claws and scratched the scarecrow. Adeshan’s eyes widened.

“Uh, dark attribute magic…!”

It was my first time actually seeing it. It was as rare as telekinesis or light attribute magic. But Ronan’s attention was elsewhere.

clearly saw The magic that Ophelia was trying to use at first was to deal with the same kind of blood as Sita. Ronan opened his mouth as if possessed by something.

“···pass.”
