Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

The incident began on the evening of the first day.

“If you want to give up, there is nothing you can do. It will be dangerous to go alone, so I will take you to the beach.”

Waking up from fainting, Ronnie announced his intention to give up, and Noah decided to respect that opinion.

So Noah takes Ronnie alone and returns.

Noah, who was returning to the spring along the river, met Miho there.

“Miho?”

“Noah? Why are you coming from outside the island?”

Miho was a person who played an active role as a major force on the Sado side in overseas weaponry classes.

The plain sword she chose was similar to the soft sword she was originally using, so she adapted to the weapon faster than others.

Thanks to that, we knew each other well because we worked together with Noah, who uses shurikens, in that class.

“Oh, wait a minute.”

Aww!

Miho grabbed one side of her hair and squeezed it.

Noah was on the way up along the stream from the spring, and Miho was catching fish in the river.

In her underwear, she wiped off the water and put on the clothes she had hung nearby.

Noah told her what had happened during the day.

“what the. It’s ridiculous just to hear it. You were just watching the child being taken away?”

“Well, anyway, the number of students on the current side has decreased by about 10.”

“Isn’t that a good thing?”

Miho was delighted with Noah’s information.

“All of us gathered around people we knew, but those who were around were completely united around Felix. It’s definitely good news that their numbers are down.”

She thought about it for a moment, then spoke as if she had made up her mind.

“I got some good information, so I should spit it out too. As for the first clue, Jeong-do guys jumped on it, but we succeeded in confirming the contents as well.”

The first clue pointed to the location of a cave.

“We found the location of the cave a long time ago, but no one can enter it because of the demons inside it. Right now, Jeongdo and the apostle are fighting each other near the cave.”

“There must be dozens of people, but it is impossible to enter? Is the Witchbeast that strong?”

Miho shook his head at the question.

“Ugh. The narrow environment of the cave is more of a problem than a strong monster. It must be because the monsters inside are a bunch of moles.”

The razor blade mole was literally a demonic beast that dug tunnels with blade-like claws.

The strength of each one was inferior to that of the Shadow Fencer.

However, due to the fact that they form groups and the difficulty of removing their burrows, they have been a nuisance even to experienced hunters.

A situation where everyone is at a loss as to what to do.

Noah saw an opportunity.

‘Maybe we can get ahead of this?’

* * *

“At least this should be enough.”

Jeong Do and most of the students at Sado are confronting each other at the entrance of a cave located halfway up the mountain.

Noah led the group around the other side of the mountain.

Carlos asked in dubious doubt while following Noah.

“Isn’t there only rocks here? Is this really the right place?”

“Wait a minute. It will make your jaw drop in no time.”

Noah, who lived in the mountains, knew well about the razor blade.

They were the main culprits of landslides because they made the ground around them weak.

Naturally, living in the mountains meant checking every day that razor-sharp moles weren’t burrowing around the house.

“The razor-sharp moles don’t bother digging tunnels because they don’t have to worry about predators. So, if you dig in from the other side, you can reach the inside right away.”

This was not even in the textbook.

Because it was a method that even veteran hunters in the field knew but didn’t use.

“It’s nice to be able to go inside, but wouldn’t you run into a lot of razor-sharp moles inside?”

“that’s right. That’s why I sent Tiu down there. I’m going to kick the bladed moles out of the inside before I go in.”

Naturally, the relationship between predators and prey existed in the beast’s ecosystem.

However, it was not uncommon for demons to actually eat demons.

From the perspective of a predatory beast, it was much easier and more convenient to catch a normal beast than to hunt a beast with strange abilities.

For this reason, if left alone, the monsters would continue to increase in number and eventually invade human territory.

“I’m going to drive them out by making it look like a higher-ranking monster has invaded.”

“I guess that’s why I made the thunderclap all night long!”

Right after getting the information from Miho, Noah took Carol and Tiu to collect the claber tree fruit.

A well-ripe celery tree fruit is filled with gas, so when it is shocked, it explodes and blows the seeds away.

The thunderbolt made using this created a vibration as if a large Demonic Beast passed by.

If something like that broke out around them, from the point of view of the bladed moles, it was something to run away and see.

Then Noah could leisurely look around the cave where the moles had escaped.

“Hunters can’t use this method because they have to catch the Razor Mole. But what we want is to find the second clue, not root them out, right?”

“The guys gathered at the entrance must be crazy because the moles will suddenly come out. Is this good?”

This was unexpected even by the instructors.

To the knights, the Blade Mole was not a powerful magic beast that had to be aware of its habits.

Knowledge that even veteran hunters often forget because they have nothing to use.

Noah intended to use this to monopolize the second clue.

“Then let’s begin.”

Whoops!

When Noah sent a signal with a whistle, Tiu detonated all the thunderbolts he had buried.

Kwakwang!

Kurrureung!

Vibration that shakes the feet.

Then, as a number of razor-sharp moles began to move convulsively, there was a tremor in the ground.

“Go in!”

Noah drew a long sword sword in the second stage and pierced the entrance to the rock.

Thanks to the fact that the opposite side was a large rocky cliff, I was able to dig into the stone without worrying that the passage would collapse.

It was a task that consumed a lot of stamina and aura, but fortunately, I didn’t dig a few meters, so I was able to connect with the bladed mole’s cave.

dump!

“Is it a limestone cave? There is water, so it must have been a perfect house for them. Carol! Come down too!”

“Ugh, the smell of sh*t!”

The inside of the cave was full of excrement from the razor blade moles.

“The first clue was apparently in a large box. I don’t know if the second one will be the same, but let’s think of it as a box and find it.”

The time was very leisurely.

* * *

The students gathered at the entrance at the same time were in a situation where they were literally struck by lightning from the dry sky.

“What is that just now? What are you talking about?”

“earthquake?”

“No, I don’t know what happened just now, but this vibration… … !”

Goo goo goo!

Hundreds of razor-sharp moles poured out from the entrance of the cave at the same time as the students sensed something was wrong.

Each of the razor-sharp moles was not a very dangerous beast.

However, when the number reached three digits, it was powerful enough to bury a person just by passing by.

“crazy! Back off everyone! Those guys aren’t looking for us!”

The students near the cave hurriedly withdrew without even thinking about it.

“Damn what happened all of a sudden? Do you think they will pour out for a long time?”

“are you okay. They won’t be able to go in anyway while they’re doing that.”

Due to the sudden uproar, Jeong Do and Sado’s students were all saying the same thing, even though they expressed it differently.

“Couldn’t it be that we’re watching so closely, who entered first?”

However, after the Mole’s runaway, the students who entered the empty cave found a box whose contents had already disappeared.

* * *

“The apostles must have cheated on something!”

A few hours later, the students’ camp.

In a situation where the clues to the task were suddenly cut off in the middle, they entered an emergency meeting.

“Apostle guys, they secretly stole clues to get us expelled on purpose and only themselves to pass the exam!”

“Now that this has happened, we have no choice but to join forces and fight against it. Felix I can move as soon as you speak.”

Felix remained silent even while all of his classmates were excited.

When he, who had the most say, didn’t say anything, the other students just noticed and kept talking.

Everyone wanted to fight, but no one took action.

Felix’s words were more important to the group of students than their opinions.

Felix, thinking that there would be no end if left alone, tried to sort things out.

“… … Let’s start with the confirmed facts. Did you find traces of a thunderclap on the other side of the mountain?”

“okay. The roar that moved the razor-sharp moles was artificially caused by someone.”

“Only students are on this island. Since we were together, the culprits must be the apostles!”

As the number of students decreased, Sado must have decided to fight for strength!

… … It was a situation that was enough to make me think.

At the time of the incident, everyone knew the location of the students.

None of them could do such a thing.

“If the number of injured increases, you will not be able to hold out against the Witchbeast. If that happens, win or lose, you will be expelled. You have to be careful with your decision.”

“But if you stay still, you won’t be able to complete the assignment and you will be expelled!”

Because of what happened on the first day, the number of Jeongdo students was smaller than the Apostle students.

In this situation, to fight the apostle students, the will of Felix, who was the best and the center of gravity, was more important than anything else.

“If things go on like this, all the students will be expelled. Felix! A decision must be made!”

Everyone was waiting for the words to fight to come out of his mouth.

* * *

meanwhile at the same time.

While the Jeongdo side cried out for a fight, the same thing was happening on the Sado side.

“Those children! They tried to monopolize the first clues, but now they don’t hide it at all!”

“He’s been doing that since the entrance ceremony, and now he’s trying to get us all expelled!”

From the perspective of the apostle students, it was a situation where there was no choice but to be hot again.

The subtle discrimination of Jeong Do students had been going on for a long time.

In addition, the first clue was actually that the Sado side found out what the Jeong-do side was trying to monopolize.

From their point of view, it seemed that the students deliberately stole the clues and made up this incident.

“Now that this has happened, we have no choice but to fight and steal the clues.”

“Thanks to those who gave up halfway, we have the upper hand in numbers. Those guys came out like that first, so there’s nothing to hold back.”

“But fighting with the average guys means fighting that ‘Mayer’?”

At that, the apostle students were silent.

Except for Felix, who was a freshman, all the students from the 8th generation were top rankers.

Felix himself was also on an undefeated streak with 16 wins out of 16 matches in the rankings.

In fact, his skills were already considered to be of the upper ranks.

“I hate to admit it, but Mayer is on a different level from us. He’s the only really strong guy out of all the talkative guys.”

Jeongdo and Sado had a tendency to force each other down, but Felix had enough skills to surpass that.

“I saw That guy, at the entrance ceremony, was standing there like nothing before Noah slapped him on the face.”

“… … .”

“As long as we can’t defeat Felix, it doesn’t matter how different the number of people is. He even uses an intangible sword!”

The intangible sword user was known to exert the power of dozens of people with equal skill.

It’s not like you can’t attack it as your physical strength is limited, but on the day you get hurt while fighting, you have to be prepared for expulsion.

“Is there anyone here who will fight so hard?”

Unlike the degree of Felix, the apostle students did not have a clear focal point.

Even if we all wanted to fight together, there would be those who would prefer to find another way alone than to fight Felix.

If one person started to fall, it was obvious that one after another would break away.

“If we don’t beat Felix, our superiority in numbers means nothing.”

Silence prevailed in the stuffy situation.

“ha.”

Seeing those motivations, Miho sighed and stepped forward.

“Are you guys stupid? This isn’t even a ranking match, so why are you fighting one-on-one?”

“That’s right, but Felix isn’t going to fight alone either.”

“In the same way, we also have an undefeated man in the rankings, right?”

In terms of history alone, I could see that this side was rather great.

Felix, undefeated with 16 wins in 16 matches.

Noah, undefeated with 31 wins in 31 matches.

“That guy might be able to beat Felix.”
