The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy

100 episodes Tyrant of the House of Waldfeld (4)

Leaving Yols at the limit, he rushed to Mikhail alone.

Now, Mikhail can no longer use his right arm.

It is okay to hold the sword with the left arm, but the movement of changing the sword like that is bound to create a gap.

“ね… … !”

👌👌👌👌👌

Using Ionia’s swift sword, Mikhail was wounded once again.

This time it was the back. In addition to the shoulder, the back muscles are also injured, so the movement of the upper body will be greatly restricted.

‘Of course, it’s not fatal yet.’

Mikhail, who had withstood my attack, tried to take a stance with a sword in his left hand.

However, it showed a completely unexpected behavior here.

“Ugh!”

“… … !”

Tuk!

Mikhail’s right arm, which was hanging down, fell to the ground.

Because Mikhail had his right arm amputated with his sword.

‘Are you crazy?’

It’s useless anyway, so maybe it was cut to make the body lighter?

Or maybe it was cut out because it rattles every time it moves so it might get in the way?

For whatever reason, it was not something that could be understood with normal sense.

“Ernas Landsstein… … .”

Mikhail, who gave up his right arm, raised his magic sword with his left hand.

“You really are a great guy.”

“… … .”

“So, for the sake of the future of the Waldfeld family, I will kill you here.”

It was only after hearing those words that I could understand Mikhail’s psychology.

I opened my mouth slowly.

“Do you think that killing me will unlock the future for Gort?”

“… … .”

Mikhail didn’t answer.

I took it in a positive sense.

‘Yes, Mikhail was a person who valued his relatives above all else.’

The reason Mikhail invaded the western region this time was because of Theodora’s death.

No matter how deceived that ‘woman monk’ was, if his sister had not suffered a mysterious death, Mikhail would not have moved in the North.

However, the amputation of Mikhail’s arm here is not for Theodora’s revenge.

For the sake of his son, Gort, he definitely wants to kill me.

‘Because I am the most talented person in the Gort generation… I’m sure you want to get rid of them here.’

One arm was cut off for a more certain victory.

A normal person would lose combat power due to pain or bleeding, but Mikhail would not.

“Ernas, you will become stronger in the future.”

“… … .”

“So, here and now, I must kill you with my own hands.”

At this moment, in Mikhail’s head, neither the charm of a female monk nor the supremacy of the empire must have been lost.

For the future of his son and the future of the Waldfeld family, he would have no choice but to kill Ernas Landsstein, who would be the most stumbling block.

“Die, Ernas.”

thud!

Mikhail sprinted to the ground and rushed in.

It’s a terrifying assault. I’ve never had such an attack before.

‘fast!’

He tried to dodge the charge by using the new magic.

But Mikhail continued to pursue me with quick movements.

‘Did you really let go of your right arm to lighten your body?’

Running at a frightening speed, Mikhail swung his sword at me.

Even swung with his left hand, it was still a powerful attack.

“… … !”

Koo!

He was attacked with a sword.

But Mikhail’s attack was not over.

Even though I was using a heavy sword, I was driven by my dazzling technique.

‘Also… It is the strongest grade in the North.’

Thump, Thump! Quang!

As the golden sword and blue sword collided, a roar resounded.

It was covered in dust because of the shock wave that spread around it.

“Wow… … !”

“Oh oh… … !”

I could see the bursts of cheers everywhere.

When I turned my gaze slightly, several people were dazzled and staring at our confrontation.

There were swordsmen from the Academy, and there were swordsmen from the Waldfeld family.

‘Under this kind of situation… … .’

Well, I could understand your feelings.

It would be a simple win-win, but if you were a swordsman, you would gain a lot just by watching this battle.

Actually I was getting a lot out of my battle with Mikhail.

‘really… It’s a great test.’

Suddenly, I thought about what it would be like to have a friendly relationship with Mikhail.

Maybe he’s gotten along much better than the last time I met Brantley Agrippa.

It can be said that Mikhail is a person with a human personality in her own way.

‘The problem with violent tendencies is … Compared to other heads of state, there is a human side.’

Like the head of the Shreière family that I haven’t met yet.

The head of the Lanzstein family, the father of Ernas.

Compared to those monsters, he certainly had a human side.

If they had made a proper friendship and formed a friendly relationship, they might have been a reliable ally.

‘of course… It’s not realistic, though.’

It was the Waldfeld family who raised the sword first.

Theodora tried to kill me first, so I had to kill Theodora in order to survive.

From there, friendly relations with Mikhail could no longer be established.

Of course, I can’t say I didn’t kill Theodora, so I can make friends with Mikhail by breaking the shichimi… That’s what Ernas in the novel would do.

‘I don’t want to be like monsters that have lost their humanity.’

And because there is also a black screen who controlled this war from behind… In the end, a clash with Mikhail was inevitable.

No matter how much I know the content of the novel, there are limits to what I can do.

‘So, it’s inevitable.’

Today I will defeat Mikhail Waldfeld.

As Ernas Landsstein, to reach a higher level.

“Haab!”

Mikhail rallied and launched an exquisite attack.

I thought it wouldn’t be easy to block from the front, so I used the shinshin technique to spread the distance.

Still, Mikhail continued to pursue me and tried to launch a series of attacks.

“Well… … !”

However, Mikhail’s attack was disturbed.

It’s been holding up well so far, but it seems that it has slowly reached its limit.

‘Even if you’re a top-notch swordsman, it’s unavoidable.’

Mikhail is now missing an arm.

Besides, he is wielding a sword with a hand he doesn’t normally use.

To keep swinging the sword with the same skill as usual… It’s difficult.

‘Let’s put an end to it, Mikhail Waldfeld.’

I raised my magic power stronger.

Thanks to Mikhail, who dealt with me with all my might, I had grown up a notch.

It increased the speed of Ionia’s swift swordsmanship and made the sword of the Callesius Spearsword more solid.

“… … !”

A fierce offensive began.

I dug into Mikhail’s side, then immediately changed direction and aimed at the rear.

Mikhail twisted his body to respond to my attack, but his movements were slower than before.

“ね… … !”

wow!

Blood spurted out of his back again.

Mikhail clenched his teeth and swung his magic sword.

He had already reached his limit, but his golden sword was much bigger than before.

He was maximizing his power while accepting the loss of his magical power.

“… … !”

thud!

The golden black sword collided with the blue black sword.

The attack itself was heavier than before, but the strength of the sword was not as strong as before.

Finally, the spear blade began to scratch Mikhail’s sword.

“Well… … !”

For the first time, Mikhail’s sword was pushed back.

As the sword was torn apart, the shock of the sword was transmitted as it was.

Confirming that my posture was disturbed, I flew away with all my might.

‘It’s here.’

Mikhail’s right side.

Since the right arm is in a state that has fallen, the chest isthmus is exposed as it is.

I swung my sword towards it.

“Ugh… … !”

Paah!

Mikhail, who was staggering, was unable to properly defend against my attack.

The spear sword pierced through the self-defense force and penetrated Mikhail’s chest.

I spun my body to dodge Mikhail’s final counterattack and backed away.

“… … .”

He took a deep breath and shook his head.

I was out of breath because I had drawn my strength to the limit.

As I forcefully catch my breath, I check Mikhail’s face… He was standing there, stunned.

“… … .”

It looked like he was seriously injured.

No matter how high the grade is, it will be difficult to survive in such a state.

Nevertheless, Mikhail did not kneel.

He didn’t even drop his sword from his hand.

“Ernas Razstein.”

A voice came out of Mikhail’s mouth.

“You said that when you ascend to the position of Grand Duke of Lichtenauer, you plan to dismantle the 6th great swordsmanship class and reform the feudal system itself.”

“… … .”

I nodded my head without saying a word.

Then Mikhail spoke again.

“It is not an easy road. The 6th great swordsman, of course, other families will not agree with me.”

“I will.”

“furthermore… It would not be the policy of the Landsstein family either. Your headmaster would not have agreed to such a thing.”

That’s right.

This is my own opinion.

“You are on a difficult path. They are heading towards their own death.”

“No, Mikhail.”

I shook my head.

“This is the way I will go.”

“… … .”

Mikhail stared at me.

And let out a short sigh.

“You’re no ordinary man, Ernas Landsstein.”

“… … .”

“And Gort and Theodora… Turning you into an enemy must have been my biggest mistake.”

After saying that, Mikhail smiled bitterly.

“No, that’s me too.”

“Mikhail.”

I spoke to Mikhail in a cold voice.

“The woman who encouraged you is an operative from another family. The purpose was to bring the Waldfeld family and the Academy into conflict, weakening the strength of both sides.”

Yes.

The monk in black who approached Mikhail did not come from anywhere else.

It was sent from another master swordsman who wanted to annihilate both the Waldfeld family and the Academy.

“The Waldfeld family is the most powerful force. On the other hand, the Academy is the force with the most grades. There was a family that tried to provoke a huge war by clashing these two forces.”

“… … .”

The reason I induced the academy to respond quickly through Valentiano was to end this war early and minimize damage.

In the novel, the Academy tried to remain neutral, but in the end an all-out war with the Waldfelds began, causing great damage.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening, I have been secretly doing it all this time.

Because I didn’t want to see the battle continued for a long time and the black screen of this war had to win.

“It was.”

Mikhail nodded slowly.

“It makes sense. Now I understand.”

“… … .”

“I don’t know if it’s the Schreier family or the Landsstein family… They’re really bad guys. If so, our family will follow their schemes… … .”

Mumbling like that, Mikhail collapsed helplessly.

He was holding on with his mental strength, but now he seemed to have reached the limit.

The swordsmen of the Waldfeld family, who were watching, tried to rush in late, but Mikhail raised a hand and stopped it.

“Ernas Landsstein… … !”

Mikhail squeezed her last strength and crawled towards me.

Then he grabbed me and vomited blood.

“I know it’s a shameless request! Now that this has come to pass, you are the ones who trapped our family… … !”

“Don’t worry, Mikhail Waldfeld.”

I said in a cold voice.

“Even if you don’t tell me, I will take them down.”

“… … .”

I reached out towards the dying Mikhail.

Even in order to grant Mikhail’s last request, he had to acquire a new power.

[Attempts to ‘reproduce ability’ for the character ‘Mikhail Waldfeld’.]

Northern strongest grade.

His swordsmanship began to dwell in me.
