008. Sylvia von Linchester (2)

“You don’t know when the demon king’s army will attack… .”

“Whoa, what a fun guy. You don’t have to lie to me Tell me the real reason.”

At that, I paused.

I knew that bad lies wouldn’t work, but I never thought Sylvia would come out like this.

“It is to survive.”

I desperately wanted to survive.

in this f*cking world.

Because if you’re not strong, you can’t survive.

“To survive… .”

She nodded once.

It was an expression of understanding.

“Dania.”

“yes! Miss Sylvia.”

“Wouldn’t you like to have a sparring with this boy?”

Two wooden swords were prepared at Dania’s waist.

“How is it, Ethan? Wouldn’t you like to have a sparring with Dania?”

“Ah yes. good.”

I nodded once.

In order to obtain the Linchester swordsmanship… .

No matter how much she was an attendant, Dania was also quite skilled in swordsmanship.

can i win

To be honest, I even ate a chance, but if I lose… .

Besides, I wanted to know where I am now.

“Please! Ethan. I also wanted to warm up after a long time.”

I grabbed the wooden sword Dania handed me.

We distanced ourselves from each other and went to Dalian.

The beginning was an exploration battle. It was Dania who took the lead.

Booung-

Wooden swords tinged with blue light rushed in.

f*ck!

The cheerful sound of wooden swords clashing echoed in the clearing.

The sword attack seemed to hit the right side, but it hit the left side.

At the beginning of the novel, Dania’s skill was at least 3 stars.

The fierce sword strike flew again.

As if it had been a joke up until now.

But.

Ethan wasn’t completely weak either.

It means that you have enough skills to enter the school with a pull-up.

f*ck!

We exchanged sums a few times.

Dania drove me like I was playing chess.

Did 10 seconds pass like that?

The other side suddenly dug into my loophole with a quick attack.

It was as if he had prepared all this time for this one move.

Booung!

It was elusive to avoid.

Even if he avoided it, he would be pushed back by the ensuing sword attack.

So I stabbed the wooden sword as it was.

“Ugh… !”

Pak!

Dania, who was hit in the stomach by the thrust, fell out.

Sitting down, she grabbed her stomach.

“Ouch… .”

and let out a groan

But he quickly brushed it off and got up.

“Ethan, it hurts… .”

“Oh, sorry!”

Instinctively, it stabbed hard.

“Uh, okay. Anything great? It’s like this without releasing magic.”

Dania muttered as if she was in pure admiration.

“Silvia-sama, how are you?”

“Hmm… , It’s useful.”

Sylvia smiled slightly.

It was hard to see because it was a subtle smile, but it looked innocent like a child who discovered something interesting.

Somehow, it seemed that Giyeon was one step closer.

“Ethan, can I test you?”

“Yes, I am honored.”

“Release your mana and attack properly.”

Sylvia grabbed the wooden sword from Dania.

When I looked at Sylvia, she smiled brightly.

“Please. Ethan.”

“Please give me a hand.”

I was nervous, and the hand holding the wooden sword was getting stronger.

“Then let’s begin!”

Dania announced the start.

As soon as it started, Sylvia disappeared leaving behind a trace.

And in an instant, it was in front of me.

Damn-!

Two wooden swords crossed.

As if dancing, as if a river were flowing, a gentle sword strike followed.

However, one shot, one shot was heavy.

I had no choice but to release my magic.

Even I was surprised by the amount of mana poured out.

It seemed that he was swinging his sword in the best condition.

No, it was definitely more than that.

Is this the power of giyeon?

f*ck! f*ck! f*ck!

I swung my sword like a sword master Cheok Joon-gyeong.

However, Sylvia easily blocked all of my attacks.

Even the mana had not been released.

Wow… .

As expected, this bastard, Ethan, is a f*cking extra.

What do you do if you eat a gigeon?

It’s not even an opponent against a master.

Sylvia must be saying that, too, pathetically, pathetically.

Slowly, the heat spread out.

Let’s hit one hit, even one hit.

The pure desire to win was stimulating me.

Whoo-!

My wooden sword rushed through the wind. At the same time, I kicked off the ground and dug low into Sylvia.

A look of bewilderment crossed her face.

reach can be reached!

The wooden sword stabbed her in the stomach hard.

However, Sylvia naturally let it go.

Then I felt a strong pain in my stomach.

In an instant, the posture collapsed.

I fell to my knees on the spot.

Her whole body was covered with blue magic power.

Kuk… , Cuckoo!

It was difficult to breathe.

I coughed involuntarily.

It hurt so bad.

And I was angry at this damn Ethan.

Can this guy survive?

“Are you okay! boy.”

Sylvia hurriedly approached me.

I grabbed my stomach and let out a heavy breath.

As if really sorry, she supported me.

“Ethan, my God… .”

“Why, why is that? Dania.”

“Oh, yes, it was the first time I saw it. You released Sylvia-sama’s magic.”

Contrary to my poor opinion, Dania seemed to have a different opinion.

“yes?”

I stupidly questioned it.

The first time you saw her unleash her magic?

“Yeah, it’s the first time I’ve seen it… .”

As if really surprised, Dania nodded her head.

“Um, Ethan, I’m sorry about this. Unbeknownst to me, the desire to compete kicked in… .”

I got up with her support.

His properly stabbed abdomen throbbed with every breath he took.

“Huh, but I knew your skills well. And thanks to that, I enjoyed it.”

“… … ”

Sylvia had a wide smile on her lips as if she was having fun.

It was honestly beautiful. To the point where I’m stunned for a while.

“Ethan, let me make a suggestion.”

“proposal… , Do you mean?”

Is it rewarding to run on the playground while working hard every morning?

“How about learning swordsmanship from me personally?”

Finally, the opportunity to get a second chance opened up for me.

I even had sad thoughts so as not to laugh.

Never in my entire life have I managed my facial expressions to this extent.

To enter as Sylvia’s personal disciple.

It wasn’t a matter of money.

Numerous people on the continent wanted to receive Sylvia’s teachings.

However, it is known that Sylvia rejected many of them.

“How is it? How about learning swordsmanship from me?”

Sylvia waited slowly for my answer.

Even that seemed like the leisure of a strong man.

However, the offer could not be taken lightly here.

“May I ask why?”

“Let’s just say I’m interested in you.”

She continued with a light smile.

“So I wanted to teach.”

“okay. Okay. Please teach me.”

“good night. Come see me tomorrow night at 7 o’clock. The location is the forest north of the academy, I will wait there.”

After speaking, she turned around first.

Even the farther back did not show any loopholes.

“Hey, Ethan?”

“Ah yes? Did you call?”

Dania’s words brought me back to reality.

“Would you like me to give you a wooden sword?”

“ah… , I see.”

Scratching the back of my head, I passed the wooden sword to Dania.

“congratulation. and… , I’m a little jealous.”

“… Mr. Dania.”

“Hehe, Mr. Dania, you are completely, hard. Are you twenty years old?”

“Ah yes. you’re right.”

Actually, I’m twenty-five.

In terms of Ethan’s age, he was twenty years old.

Dania smiled charmingly once.

“Feel free to call me Nia noona. i’m a year older than you Well, see you later.”

Leaving those words behind, Dania ran towards Sylvia with her brown bobbed hair dancing. I was blankly looking at Dania like that.

After everyone left, I started running again.

For some reason, things seemed to be going smoothly.

* * *

Late afternoon, Sylvia’s office.

Sylvia was standing by the window, looking at the academy.

Warrior candidates gathered one after another at the academy ahead of school opening.

Candidates gathered from regions other than the Empire for different reasons.

smart

Sylvia looked down at the academy with her hands behind her back despite the sound of knocking that woke her up.

“Silvia-sama, this is Dania!”

“Come in.”

Dania entered the office with an armful of papers.

With a thud, the papers were placed on the desk.

“This is the freshmen of the year you requested.”

“Is that so? Will the boy be there too?”

“Yes, I have also investigated separately.”

“What kind of person are you?”

Sylvia asked in a calm tone.

Since it was unusual for Sylvia to investigate a student, even Dania was intrigued by the boy.

“I came from an orphanage, but at some point it seems that I grew up as a servant of the Lognes family.”

“As expected.”

It was as if he knew everything a long time ago.

“Furthermore, a boy named Ethan, as a recent cadet, checked the records of his visit to Herbeiaban through the city transfer seat.”

You haven’t even entered school yet, but you used the city transfer seat?

You seem to be well aware of the specialties of being a Nadia Academy student.

Most of the new students entered the school without knowing the special privileges.

However, the fact that he had already used it before entering the school meant that he had researched the academy in advance.

It could also be interpreted as meaning that they had been waiting for admission in some way.

Sylvia turned and looked at the documents containing Ethan’s personal information.

I had an interesting thought.

A boy named Ethan had already mastered his own swordsmanship at that age.

‘It’s to survive.’

A sincere answer that did not show a single lie.

Read at readwn.com

Judging from that answer, it means that I learned the sword to survive.

Are you being chased by someone?

It is possible if you have been the victim of a power struggle between noble families or if you have lost your parents to an assassin’s attack.

If so, it was understandable that he learned his swordsmanship while searching for someone while burning hostility.

Really, if you were looking for someone for revenge, it made sense that you used the transfer stone as soon as you entered the hero academy, and that you waited patiently to enter the hero academy.

At that time, Dania’s question broke Sylvia’s reasoning.

“Then why did you want to personally teach that student named Ethan?”

“Ah, because I discovered potential.”

“Potential?”

“Did you see his eyes?”

Dania recalled what had happened at dawn. It was as intense as the guy’s eyes.

“Even when he saw me, instead of being scared, he burned his fighting spirit to win.”

“Fight… , Do you mean?”

At Dania’s question, Sylvia nodded once.

“Dania, at the warrior academy, students drop out steadily every year. Do you know why?”

Dania suddenly wondered why she was asking such a thing.

“Isn’t it because of failing?”

Sylvia nodded once.

It wasn’t completely wrong.

If you fail more than twice, you will be automatically expelled, so there are people who voluntarily leave the academy.

“But there are things that cannot be explained by that alone. Why do some of the top students leave the academy on their own feet?”

“Ugh. that… .”

Even after graduating, I was able to organize a warrior party.

It’s not a party made up of mediocre people, but a party of warriors!

If you don’t like life-and-death battles, you can join the Knights or the Mage Tower and enjoy a comfortable work life.

Not from the end, but from the manager.

However, since the establishment of Nadia, there have been steady drop-outs every year even among top students.

“Also, I don’t know.”

“The reason why there are dropouts among the top ranks is simple. It’s because they blame their own talent and meet a huge wall and give themselves up.”

A gap that cannot be filled with effort.

Those who despaired of the gap were high-ranking drop-outs.

“ah… .”

Dania seemed to understand as well, admiring it.

“There is anger in his heart.”

He learned swordsmanship by himself to survive the loss of his parents. A boy who learned swordsmanship like that.

Then the anger was understandable.

After entering the hero academy, seeing him train his stamina before he even entered the school, he wasn’t usually determined.

“In his anger, he struggled to bridge the gap even though he had no talent.”

“okay.”

“However, the point I am concerned about is that his blade is pointing in the wrong direction. I thought I should catch it before that.”

perhaps… .

If you become a little closer, you might even be able to tell him not to wear himself out for revenge.

Sylvia thought so.

At the same time, Ethan was grumbling about the writer who sent him here and this goddamn other world.
