Academy’s Genius Swordsman

#80

Paang! Jaifa’s body stretched out like a spring. Heaven swallowed them up. Ronan, clutching his tail as hard as he could, spit out a swear word.

“What the fuck…!”

“AA AA AA!”

He almost broke his neck bone. It was a speed that far exceeded expectations. The forest, which had become smaller in an instant, was swaying in the distance. Paang! Jaipa, who fell in a gentle arc, landed on the ground and jumped again.

“Gyaah!”

Asher, who had fainted, woke up and screamed. Saliva and tears were sprinkled along the trail. The Wyverns were still flying in a straight line towards the Baidian Mountains.

Jaifa overtook the Wyverns with only seven leaps. He stopped at a point where the hordes of Wyverns were expected to reach soon. It was a rock protruding like a watchtower in the middle of a wide field.

“Get down now.”

“100 million!”

Jaypa swung his tail like a bouncing. The two boys were ripped apart as if they had been hit by a huge whip. Asher, who barely escaped Ronan’s side, fell on the floor and began to cry.

“Woah… it’s too much… this is really too much…”

He didn’t even have the strength to get up anymore. Ronan walked over to Jaifa, leaving Asher to squirm. He was looking at the northern sky with his arms crossed at the edge of the rock.

“A lot more than I thought.”

“I know.”

The Wyverns were rapidly approaching. The group of Wyverns approaching with an eerie roar was like a dark cloud from hell. When Ronan saw the number to exceed 100, his tongue stuck out.

“Damn it, I collected it thrifty. The Wyvern is not a common monster.”

“I’m sorry. You have to kill them all.”

Jaifa twisted his lips as if he didn’t want to. The Wyvern was a monster that could be tamed and rode just like the Griffon.

At that number, its value would have been astronomical. Jaifa, who had been silent for a moment, opened her mouth without looking away.

“So why did you follow me?”

“Just to help a little. To see the swordsmanship of Nari.”

“Help?”

“okay. You shouldn’t miss anyone.”

“It’s fun.”

Jaifa chuckled. Its long tail was waving to and fro. After a while, he swung his sword without warning.

shhh! It was an ordinary movement, as if to simply check whether the day had come. The direction was towards the Wyverns, but the sword was not fired. What did you do? As Ronan tilted his head, a huge black line was drawn in the center of the group.

“uh?”

It was a heterogeneous sight that could only be seen in Kratir’s space magic. The line that seemed to be 50m in diameter completely cut across the group of Wyverns. Jaifa said.

“By the way, what are you going to help me with?”

Ronan’s eyes widened. At that time, the black line was dyed red and a blood vortex burst out. There was a scene as if fireworks were exploding in a row. The wyverns’ flurries rang out along with the belated pounding sound.

“Kiaah!”

“Keek!”

A torrential downpour of blood poured down. The pieces of flesh were falling without a measure. Jaifa swung the Eonwoldo in succession. Scratch! Again, a black line crossed the group and made about 20 wyverns into chunks of meat.

“This···!”

Only then did Ronan notice that unidentified mana was condensed on the spear blade of Eonwoldo. It must have been Jaipa’s Auror. Like the dawn just before sunrise, there was a pulsating power that had never been seen before in the Black Auror.

‘You’re a total monster. It’s different.’

Ronan shook his head as if tired. He seemed to understand why Nabirose was defeated. At that time, a change occurred to the Wyverns who were being slaughtered. The randomly grouped group split into thirteen squadrons and began to disperse in a fan shape.

“her?”

The Wyverns, composed of three or four per squadron, flew around as if to guess where they were, and headed for the Romaira Mountains. It was not a natural scattering in order to survive, but a strategic scattering with a clear intention. Ronan smirked as if he was stunned.

“It looks like the caster hasn’t died yet.”

“I think so.”

Jaifa was not embarrassed. He looked back at Ronan, gauging the number of Wyverns remaining.

“Do not disturb.”

bang! Jaifa leapt like a shooting slash. The four wyverns approaching the lead fell into nine pieces. As he swung his Eonwoldo in mid-air, the two Wyvern squadrons flying in the distance turned into clouds of blood. The red rain that fell once again wetted the forest.

“Crazy.”

Jaifa carried out the massacre by jumping and landing repeatedly. Ronan shook his head when he saw one squadron wiped out.

It was not for nothing that the prisoners were relaxed. At that momentum, the Wyverns would have been slaughtered without even being able to reach the vicinity of the Romaira Mountains. There seemed to be no problem. However, Ronan’s expression was not at all refreshing.

‘Something is strange.’

Nebula Clazier’s characteristic sparkling mana was nowhere to be seen. It was the same no matter how hard I put my eyes on it and looked around.

‘It must have been around.’

Nebula Clazier was cunning. Even if he had to kill all the Wyverns, he could not be relieved unless he caught the members of the gang.

Judging by the precise movements of the Wyverns, it was highly likely that they were fairly close. It was clear that he was hiding his body cleverly somewhere.

‘Where are you? Where have you been hiding?’

Suddenly, Ronan’s gaze reached the empty sky. A few large and small cumulus clouds were flowing under the chilly blue sky.

If it wasn’t for a beggar-like situation, it was a charming scenery to sit on and watch. Ronan, who suddenly felt a sense of alienation, frowned.

“Um?”

A cloud was flying particularly low. So far it could have been, but the problem was the direction.

The clouds, drifting at a subtle angle to the wind, were pointing exactly at the Romaira Mountains. Ronan’s mouth fell open.

“found.”

“Hey, profit….”

Asher watched the slaughter of Zayfa, white. At least three wyverns were being killed whenever a black bullet was shot into the air.

Drops of blood that flew in the wind made his hair more red. Then Ronan, who was standing on the edge of the rock, hurriedly ran to him.

“When you are all rested, get up. I’m going to catch you.”

“Come on, are you going to catch me…?”

“okay. You have to know these dogs, rolling heads. ”

Ronan, who muttered an unfamiliar sound, stood up Asher. He was shoulder-to-shoulder with Asher and pointed at the suspicious cumulus cloud with his index finger.

“Can you see that? Clouds flying strangely low.”

“Yes.”

“I will go over there. Can you do it?”

“You’re too far away…! If you throw it, it will definitely miss…!”

“What are you talking about? You will go too.”

“to?”

Asher froze with a look as if she was about to commit suicide at any moment. Ronan looked around. It would have been much more stable to hold on to something than to fly barefoot.

“It would be nice to have something that could serve as a support … let’s see.”

It was on a rock, so I couldn’t see anything useful. It was a car that I was thinking about whether I should break even a stone and ride it. Quang! Suddenly, one of the Wyvern’s heads fell in front of Asher’s eyes. Asher, who sat down, screamed and stepped back.

“aah! Aww!!”

“what?”

It was undoubtedly the work of Zayfa. His eyes, tinged with madness, flickered as if they were still alive. Ronan’s face brightened.

“Oh, that’s right.”

It was the right size and had horns to serve as a handle. Ronan caught Asher, who was about to faint, and put it on his side. Stepping on the Wyvern’s head, he said, waving Asher.

“depart.”

****

Even though the season for cicadas had arrived, the high sky was as cold as late autumn.

A thick white cloud covered the whole area. Inside, two Wyverns were flying silently. The magic cloud did not disperse even with the rough flapping of its wings and maintained a constant shape and speed.

On the backs of the red and yellow drakes were a young man and an old man in white robes. They had been shivering in the cold for hours already and staying in the sky. The young man riding in the red Wyvern opened his mouth.

“How much is left?”

“It is now. I’ll be there in thirty minutes at the latest.”

“That’s good. Damn, I feel like I’m losing all my Wyverns I’ve been saving for one stupid bitch.”

the young man grumbled. He was in charge of gathering and controlling the Wyverns for this operation.

Things went awry because a colleague in charge of the pilot suddenly left the formation. The old man who was watching the scene was drawn to him.

“It was collected for bait anyway, but what?”

“But what if it’s a waste?”

“Be thankful that Jaifa doesn’t get caught. We would be in danger if we hadn’t acted quickly.”

“…the inspiration is right. If we had been caught by that monster, we would all be dead. Damn, I don’t know what kind of madman spread the smell of rotten fish, but I hope it gets better.”

“It will happen if you achieve your goal.”

Things went wrong, but it wasn’t a failure. In the first place, the monsters were thrown into a frenzy, and the Wyvern swarm, which had more than three digits, was only a bait to turn their attention. The young man asked in a worried voice.

“You have a good one, right? If you drop it now, it’s really over.”

“Don’t worry. Even if you drop it, I will bring it back before it hits the ground.”

The old man with a beard was nodding his head. The claws of the wyvern he was riding held held a sphere made of unknown metal.

A complex and geometric magic circle covered the surface of the sphere so that no gaps could be seen. The young man glanced at the sphere and burst out laughing.

“After all, Alibrihe-sama is amazing. Thirty magics are engraved on that small sphere.”

“I am not a senior executive for nothing. Truly a stellar blessing.”

“I know yeah. Seriously, I heard that inspiration could go into the place created by Brigia-sama’s disappearance, is it true?”

“Yes. I dare not compare him to his strength…”

“Wow, did you receive the teacher’s blessing as well?”

Instead of answering, the old man chuckled. The young man’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. He was well aware of the strength of the old man, but he did not know that he would really reach the position of head of the branch. The young man asked with excitement.

“What did you get? ok?”

“Heh heh, I can’t tell you that. All I can tell you is that it has the power to save us even if we drop it on the mountain range.”

The young man exclaimed. It was as if I had already told you everything I had received.

To be honest, I was a little scared, but now I feel like I can carry out my mission with peace of mind. Starting today, the Empire will suffer from atherosclerosis.

The explosion on the mountain road in Rome will become an unforgettable nightmare and will remain in the minds of the ignorant.

“Okay, then…”

The young man was about to say something. Whoa! Suddenly, the clouds in front of him split open and the Wyvern’s head appeared.

At first, I thought only the brainwashed entity was attacking me. However, the back of the Wyvern’s head was not visible. The young man’s eyes widened.

“Hmm, the head?!”

“Damn, it took a long time. You worked hard, Asher.”

“Yes···! By the way, people are really…!”

Besides, there was a person riding on the Wyvern’s head. Also, two young blue puppies. The old man, who had always been calm, said in a confused voice.

“What are you…?”

“It’s two. You can kill one.”

Ronan didn’t answer. The street was already narrow enough. Without hesitation, he sprinted the Wyvern’s head and leapt to the old man. La Mancha, pulled out of its sheath, ripped through the clouds.

“Ohh.”

The old man shrugged his eyebrows. The boy’s slash flew so fast that it was difficult to respond. The old man, who judged that it would be difficult to counterattack or evade, gave his taste as if it were a pity.

“I didn’t mean to show it here, but it’s a shame.”

A round shield spread around the old man’s body. Ronan’s eyes widened at the familiar sight. It was a bizarre curtain that gave a completely different impression from the mana shield, the protection of the stars. Ronan sighed in relief.

“Oh shit. I almost got fucked.”

“Um?”

La Mancha drew arcs while slicing the stars as they were. Snack! A red line appeared on the wrinkled neck. As Ronan landed kicking his chest, the old man’s head fell off.
