The Golden Sun of the Academy

Chapter 78

Weapon Management(1)

-Welcome to all of you who advanced to the finals of this team match. The academy’s team battles boast a long history that has always been going on… … .

In my field of vision, Yeriel’s handle and scabbard covered in dust came into view.

Come to think of it, the academy didn’t really give any proper lessons on weapon maintenance.

Well, I’m a swordsman genius, so just by looking at the shape of the sword, I can instantly figure out which one to touch to keep it in the best condition… … .

Well, can Kanghyuk do that?

It would be difficult if Ji wasn’t self-taught.

It seems like he fills up his lack of talent with personal training these days. It was clear that his relationship with those around him was not smooth.

There wouldn’t have been a good place to ask.

The reason I was thinking differently was to pass the time.

I led my teammates into the arena and stood behind Kang Hyuk.

The team leaders were positioned at the very back to make it easier for them to lead their team out when leaving.

Inside the stadium, 640 people from 128 teams that advanced to the finals lined up in rows. I could hear voices echoing from the speakers everywhere.

It was a filthy, boring, long opening ceremony, which is always the case with the main story of a large event.

I really don’t understand why you do such useless things.

I kicked the floor to appease my boredom.

At times like this, I really want to have a skip function in the game.

But even Kanghyuk’s game system wouldn’t do it.

When it comes to the ability to manipulate time, there is no such thing as a fraudulent ability. If this is the case, it makes sense if you can even load the save.

-All attention!

As time goes by, the opening ceremony is heading towards its end.

When I heard the sound of ‘Attention’, my body took a conditioned reflex posture.

– With that said, all of the opening ceremonies have been completed. After a while, a full-scale team match will be held from 10 o’clock, and the VIPs… … .

I couldn’t hide the corners of my mouth that slowly went up as I watched them line up in turn, starting with the first team at the end.

After the opening ceremony, the first order was our team, so we headed straight to the waiting room.

and immediately kicked out.

I tried to knock on the door, but… … .

“Sunshine! I am still armed!”

“okay. sun! Come back in a little while!”

Since the dress code for the opening ceremony was a school uniform, I suddenly ended up waiting outside the door to arm Chevalier.

During the preliminaries, I was always wearing armor, so I didn’t know, but I needed to prepare separately.

In the original version, ‘Kyaaak~. 00 group perverted~.’ The same limbs and limbs would have been produced, but… … .

There is no such development in the harsh reality. Even if there is, it is straight to the iron window.

“… … Why do you look like that?”

“no.”

Even if there is, the main character of that happy incident is now waiting next to me against the wall.

Is it a snowball I rolled or is it a reality test? Now I’m starting to get a little confused.

Yes, let’s get lucky by allusion since time is running out like this.

Just waiting is boring.

“hey-. Kang Hyuk.”

“… … why?”

I asked the guy who answered bluntly with good intentions.

There was not a single bit of malice. It’s just that I genuinely hope that he will do a good job maintaining Yeriel, so that the team’s strength will increase.

There, Yeriel has an Ego Sword. It was also great to win her favor.

Kang Hyuk secretly wrote it. haven’t you talked about it yet?

He probably didn’t say anything about the Ego Swords, because he doesn’t like being used by anyone other than the owner.

“Are you good at maintaining your sword?”

“… … What do you know about that?”

That’s why I pointed to Yeriel and asked kindly.

“ah. It just seems a bit out of control.”

“Mine, I’ll take care of it.”

Strangely, the boy’s expression hardened.

Hey, why are you so nervous?

ah… … Since he’s also a swordsman, it could be because he’s ashamed of not taking good care of his sword. It’s a story that’s quite possible.

I smiled lightly and tapped him on the shoulder to ease the tension.

“Hey, don’t be so nervous. that’s your sword Did it look pretty good?”

“… … If you want to borrow it, I told you the other day. I hate it.”

“Who asked for a loan? It’s such a good sword, wouldn’t it be a shame if the blade gets damaged because it’s not maintained?”

“… … so?”

“Looks like you’re not good at sword maintenance. If you have any thoughts after the team match today, let me know.”

He talked a lot, and his lips became slightly dry, so he licked them up with his tongue.

I have to buy this lip balm and manage it.

“I will help you in any way.”

“that… … .”

Kanghyuk, who had been thinking for a while, was about to answer when the door to the waiting room opened. Anya poked her head through the crack in the door.

“Baby~. it’s over! You may come in.”

“okay.”

Before entering the waiting room, he said quietly to Kang-hyeok, who was standing in a daze.

In order to reduce the guy’s reluctance, he was still wearing a smile.

“Well, the choice is yours.”

“… … .”

He entered the waiting room first, but Kanghyuk seemed to be talking to Yeriel outside. Came in a little late

after a while

-ah. ah. We will guide you to those in the waiting room. Waiting people, please come up to the stadium. I will inform you once again… … .

“Hey guys. let’s go.”

I headed for the stadium with light steps.

Looking at the opposing team standing in front of him, he raised his eyebrows.

-All players, please prepare. We’ll start the game in a moment.

I quietly put my hand on the handle of the black sword.

At the same time as the sound of the siren announcing the start of the game.

-Surereung.

I pulled the handle of the sword.

The sword was pulled out with a metal sound.

* * *

During the opening ceremony, Kang Hyuk heard Yeriel’s voice ringing in his head.

[Are you ready? They say there are a lot of guys stronger than you in the finals? Can you afford it?]

“doesn’t care… … .”

I answered like a fool.

After the day he saw Geum Taeyang’s swordsmanship as he grew up, Kang Hyuk devoted himself more to training to calm his shaky spirit.

The words he threw just now were close to self-hypnosis.

Don’t be intimidated by your talent and believe in your hard work.

[If you are Let’s do well this time.]

He cautiously nodded his head in response.

[By the way, my grandpa talks a lot. No matter where you go, high-ranking nobles are similar.]

After spending time chatting with Yeriel, time rushed towards the end of the opening ceremony.

Time always went well when I was with her.

– With that said, all of the opening ceremonies have been completed. After a while, a full-scale team match will be held from 10 o’clock, and the VIPs… … .

Hearing the loud voice, Kanghyuk headed to the waiting room.

Everyone was waiting in the hallway except Chevalier, who was wearing the armor, and Anastasia, who was trying to help her.

[so? Will you come with me this time too? Because my strength is your strength.]

Kanghyuk pondered for a moment at Yeriel’s cautious question.

They say they work hard, but it didn’t seem like they would make progressive progress in just two days.

In addition, as Yeriel said, she is willing to use her power as much as she wants… … .

After pondering for a moment, Kanghyuk felt a tingling sensation on one side of his face.

Someone is watching.

I got goosebumps for a moment.

After the death of his parents, he always cared about the eyes of the people around him, so Kang Hyuk was sensitive to the eyes of the people around him.

The culprit was immediately found.

golden sun.

The guy was looking at Kanghyuk right next to him. Kang-hyeok felt a sense of uneasiness at the constant stare of Tae-yang.

After seeing his talent, I didn’t want to get involved if possible.

The reason I swung my sword like crazy over the weekend was to escape from the afterimage of the guy.

What if the trait wasn’t indomitable? Wouldn’t he have become a crippled man, crushed by the wall of talent he saw that day?

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just imagining it was terrifying.

There, the boy’s face was full of boredom.

Are you saying that you’re so talented that you don’t even care about team fights like this?

The moment he saw his expression, as if this kind of tournament was only a light walk, Kanghyuk was dumbfounded.

It’s a competition that someone without talent prepares so hard… … .

“… … Why do you look like that?”

“no.”

The words that came out naturally were blunt. However, Taeyang Geum says that he doesn’t care.

Kang Hyuk’s reaction was several times better.

Yeah, I’d rather turn it off like that.

However, despite the indifference of the sky, Taeyang soon raised the corner of his mouth as if he had found something interesting in Kanghyeok.

“hey-. Kang Hyuk.”

Dry saliva was forming in my mouth. Even Yeriel, who had been chattering, became quiet as if she sensed something ominous.

“… … why?”

In Taeyang’s smile, Kanghyuk felt an instinctive ominous feeling. I am proud to say that I have seen a lot of people’s faces.

The guy with the devilish grin opened his mouth.

“Are you good at maintaining your sword?”

“… … What do you know about that?”

The guy accurately stabbed Kanghyuk’s weak point.

It gives me goosebumps. To be honest, I couldn’t fix it at all.

After each training session, I rolled my body to the brink of exhaustion, so I often forgot about it.

Golden Taeyang’s index finger, pointing precisely at Yeriel, was like a spear slicing Kang Hyuk’s conscience.

[Hyuk. Don’t worry about that guy’s words.]

okay. There was no need to be swayed by his words.

Because Yeriel is an ego sword and I am the owner. went back inside

“ah. It just seems a bit out of control.”

I don’t know what you mean by saying that. The purpose of the golden sun was not visible.

There is one thing you can expect. He points to Yeriel with his index finger… … .

can never give

“Mine, I’ll take care of it.”

I firmly rejected it, drawing the line that it was mine. Guess which part stimulated the guy’s nerves, Taeyang’s smile grew thicker.

That smile seemed to mock Kanghyuk.

“Hey, don’t be so nervous. that’s your sword Did it look pretty good?”

“… … If you want to borrow it, I told you the other day. I hate it.”

Because he attacked Kanghyuk with the exact facts… … .

It was Golden Taeyang who vulgarly touched his shoulder like he would only see it in a back alley, but there wasn’t much resistance that Kanghyuk could do.

“Who asked for a loan? It’s such a good sword, wouldn’t it be a shame if the blade gets damaged because it’s not maintained?”

For a moment, the back of my neck felt cold. As if he had seen through the scabbard, he was seeing through Yeriel’s situation.

Although Yeriel is said to be a great sword, it shows signs of rusting little by little, perhaps because she is often exposed to sweat, and the teeth of the blade are in an unstable situation.

Rather, it seemed that he knew better than himself, the owner.

“… … so?”

I answered while hiding my trembling voice as much as possible. Maybe he has a way?

“Looks like you’re not good at sword maintenance. If you have any thoughts after the team match today, let me know.”

Obviously, looking at the guy’s words, it’s favorable. This was an obvious fact.

“I will help you in any way.”

The talking guy’s eyes were intensely wanting something.

At the end of that line of sight is Yeriel.

The tongue licking her lips seemed to be licking her.

That alone made Kanghyuk feel rejected. but… … .

A lot of dust accumulated on the white surface of Yeriel, making my heart ache.

Taeyang’s proposal itself was too sweet.

It was the devil’s proposal that made me think.

“Well, the choice is yours.”

He stood on the stage of the team match with an anxious and complicated mind.
