Episode 9

3. Opening Ceremony (3)

I was lucky. really narrowly won. If he hadn’t gotten tired of the fluff, and had succeeded in reading my patterns, the winner would have been him.

In particular, it was pure luck to block the final blow.

With a really small margin, he was able to bring the sword within the range of the hit and hit it.

Was it simply because of the mood that the sword felt light in the middle?

In any case, they barely managed to win the first match. With this, you will be able to avoid the situation of being stuck in a beginner’s class.

“What are you hiding?”

As I descended to where the students were waiting, Camilla jumped up from her seat in disbelief.

“what?”

“George was overpowering you with pure speed. But how did you stop it?”

It is understandable to have such a reaction. It must have been a result that would never be understood from a general point of view.

But that doesn’t mean that you can’t even rant about the setting of Paradise Academia.

So I simply answered.

A magical word that makes anything probable by itself.

“I was lucky.”

“lie!!!”

Camila screamed as if she didn’t understand.

“You know because I’ve played against the prosecutors too? It wasn’t pure luck.”

“No, it’s really luck? It’s also true that I didn’t keep up with the speed. I was only able to counter the attack based on my senses.”

It was true. Well, there was no need to follow the speed.

In general, the stabbing technique using a rapier is very difficult to correct its trajectory. Although it is possible to change the RBI, the trajectory of the sword itself is always a straight line.

Therefore, the only action I was able to take was to look at the direction in which I was attacking for the first time, and to bring the sword to the point where it was likely to be stabbed.

It looked like he had blocked them all, but that was not the case.

No matter how much glitching technique he used, the real reason he was able to win was also because of George’s negligence in not seeing my actions.

“You, did you learn swordsmanship separately? Or is it like the secret of some family? One-man tradition??”

“Didn’t you see me attacking? How can you say that’s the movement of a person who has learned swordsmanship?”

Whether that was true, Camilla’s demeanor, which had been pushing her hard, softened.

“No, I can’t… I can’t…”

It was a little embarrassing, but it was unavoidable. Because it was a painful reality.

It’s only once or twice that this little technique works. In order to survive in this world in the future, proper training was necessary.

Paradise Academia not a stagnant player.

As Baek San-woo, a first-year candidate at Nakwon School Arthur’s Faculty.

* * *

After orientation is over.

The dean, Irkan Bradamante, gathered all the faculty members who had been attending.

As they are all well-educated in identifying outstanding individuals, this time around, they must have rescued quite strong candidates.

A young sapling of a giant tree that will support the world.

Finding it and nurturing it was what Iskan Bradamante enjoyed the most.

“So, how about this rider?”

“As the dean said, there are a lot of great kids.”

“I’m sorry to the sophomores, but the talent range is much wider than the previous jockey. Rather, it feels like it has been leveled up.”

As a warrior, the professors’ reactions mixed with pure admiration seemed to warm Iskan’s heart already.

“Okay, let’s share some opinions.”

“First of all, Byron must be on the Express. To be honest, right now, I can even compete with the upperclassmen of the 3rd grade.”

At one professor’s words, everyone in the room nodded their heads.

The few remaining descendants of the Black Panther. Byron, born of a very rare bloodline among the Tarkans. If such a person is not a super, who the hell is a super?

Starting with Byron, familiar names began to sound one after another.

“The romantic baristan you mentioned was also worth paying attention to. The movement of the sword was smooth and sophisticated. It was a great sword dance that suited the word romantic.”

In addition, most of them, such as the Barbarian Elka of the North and Margaret of the Holy Empire, had their own reputation in various parts of the continent before entering Paradise Island.

It is unavoidable.

Nakwon School is not an educational institution that raises small children. It wasn’t just a training camp that trains soldiers who move according to orders.

This is the Hero Academy.

300 years ago, along the path of the heroes who defeated the demon king who drove the entire continent into flames, it is an honorable place to raise another hero.

So, it was only natural that there were many people who had already made a name for themselves in many ways from the early days of admission.

“Now it seems that the famous children have come out. Are there any other notable ones?”

At the dean’s words, Kehlyn Morris, who had been watching all the conversation, spoke.

“There was a student named Baek San-woo from the Eastern Federation.”

“Is this your first time hearing about it?”

Irkan Bradamante’s eyes narrowed. It was proof that he was interested in the name.

“I’ve never heard of it before, but she uses a bit of a strange swordsmanship.”

Kehlin began to explain how Dalian went as a whole. The opponent is George of the Grand Duchy of Carpet.

It’s not as famous as the others, but if Irkhan had heard of it, it wouldn’t have been just a joke.

“It was an obvious swordsman. If you saw the movement that Sanwoo Baek showed in the final blow, anyone in this room would have been amazed.”

Professor Kehlin had not yet been given the title of full professor, but he had enough insight and skills to become a full professor.

He is a prosecutor whom he highly praised.

Irkan Bradamante was very interesting, but some professors thought differently.

“Is it possible that he cheated on something? It’s hard to believe that he was only a freshman until I saw it with my own eyes.”

Professor Isabella Leona said distastefully. She was a professor with a slightly skeptical view of swordsmanship handed down from the Eastern Federation.

Again, he doesn’t want to be fooled into thinking it’s simply a ‘mystery of the East’.

However, Cahlyn Morris continued to speak, irrespective of her sharp reaction.

“Well. I may be inexperienced, but that wasn’t a trick. George of the Grand Duchy of Carpet was also a good prosecutor.”

“So even more…!”

“That’s why, even if it’s not a special rank, he’s a talented person who deserves to be in the advanced class.”

Hmm, I don’t think it’s going to go this far. Maybe it was because Professor Isabella and her alumni, a student from the Grand Duchy of Carpet, lost.

She was a narrow-minded woman, not like a professor at the Arthur School who worshiped radish.

He had a strong desire to win and had the skills to support his confidence, but in this respect he often had conflicts with other professors.

“Come on, you two seem too hot.”

When Dean Irkan interrupted the conversation and attempted to mediate, Isabella, annoyed, kept her mouth shut.

You must have realized that you only have to put out heat to undermine your image.

“But, as Professor Isabella said, it is not true that the ability has not yet been clearly grasped.”

“That’s why you have to pay attention. As Professor Kehlin said, if you have the skills to deceive even the professors, isn’t that the same as saying that your skills are certain?”

Baeksan-Ura of the Eastern Federation suddenly appeared.

“Then it might be too early for the advanced class yet. Let’s think about it slowly after assigning us to the intermediate class.”

“That’s a valid opinion.”

Irkhan remembered the name clearly in his mind.

Without even dreaming that it was the result of digging into the loopholes of the world, not swordsmanship skills.

🥳🥳

After moving my body all at once, I quickly lost my hunger.

After the match was over, they were free to leave anyway, so me and Camilla, who had been competing from the beginning, were having an early lunch.

“Wow, it’s delicious here. I can stop by often after school.”

“I know.”

A restaurant in Nosteria where Arthur’s Faculty is located. It was a high-quality dish that could not be seen as ordinary street food.

Seafood pasta with plenty of seafood and tossed with a slightly spicy sauce.

In the original world, food wasn’t enjoyed very much, but… … Even with that in mind, it was a pretty tasty meal.

Camilla trembled as she exclaimed, “Ummm,” every time she took a bite to see if she liked her taste.

“I want to eat every day.”

“Is it okay to eat? It’s in front of school anyway.”

“No. You have to save money. Don’t expect pocket money from the family… Huh!!”

He talked about his family affairs at his own will, and then suddenly he covered his mouth by himself.

“Forget what I just said.”

“I know you don’t have money, but what are you doing?”

Unfortunately, Camila had already been aware of everything behind the scenes. It looks like you’re working hard not to get caught.

Well, seeing what you are doing now, it seems strange not to know.

“But who did you fight with? I didn’t see you because you went to the bathroom.”

“Ah~ Did I say Palfner? He was a sword-wielding kid. He simply won.”

palpner. I nodded at the familiar name.

I can’t remember the face, but there’s only one reason I remember the name.

Because he was an NPC that the player would fight against if he chose the Arthur School.

Of course, he was so bad that he was robbed by Aidan at the beginning of the game, so the moment he and Camila met, the win or loss would have been decided already.

‘Daejinwoon was the worst.’

Camila is actually one of the toughest matchups.

She was basically a fighter, but she possessed overwhelming abilities enough to be proudly ranked in the advanced class with only her spear skills.

‘Poor Palfner. However, since it was applied to Camilla, who was quite named, she suffered a so-called honorable death.’

I prayed for his pride, which must have been trampled upon.

“But you didn’t really learn swordsmanship, did you?”

But apart from Palfner’s gun, Camila has been obsessed with me since before.

“Is that right?”

“No, I’ve been thinking about it? But if the attack you showed me earlier was all you learned, you wouldn’t even have been admitted to Paradise School in the first place. Was it that serious?”

“ah…….”

“Is that right? Hehe!! I’m surprisingly good with a nib~. It’s a completely stabbed expression, isn’t it?”

Camila smiles, saying that she has finally uncovered the hidden secret. It’s not like that, it’s because the facts hurt so much.

That means that even the final offensive that I poured out my passion for was nothing but garbage in her eyes.

“But why are you interested in my swordsmanship? You have nothing to do with swordsmanship, do you?”

“No, that’s not the case. The basic weapon of the firefighting style is our body, the body itself. Various weapon techniques have also been officially passed down.”

“Like a banquet?”

“That’s right. I’m from the Eastern Federation, so I can understand this.”

Camilla shrugged and continued the conversation.

“Anyway, in order to become the 17th head of the family in the future, you have to master not only spears and martial arts, but almost all martial arts. But I’m not particularly talented in swordsmanship.”

In fact, when I heard only this far, there was no reason for me to give her the sword.

It’s not even a sword ‘alcohol’ in the first place, isn’t it? It’s just bug exploits and systemic techniques.

But Camilla put forward a really unconventional condition.

“If you can teach me a little of your technique, I’ll pass on a part of the firefighting class to him in return. How about it?”

Unlocking unique skills without progressing through epic quests.

Oh, should I think about this?
