Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

chapter 26



“Of course, just because only Imperial Swordsmanship has used all the attributes so far doesn’t mean we have to do that in the future.”

Swordsmanship is evolving.

It wouldn’t be strange if a new swordsmanship that could use all attributes appeared.

In the first place, Noah’s swordsmanship had many peculiarities.

“I can’t use an intangible sword, but being able to use property conversion is amazing.”

“Could it be anything else?”

The seniors clung to Noah with their eyes shining and started to order this and that.

However, it was not that Noah could follow anything, so there were no results.

Instead, I was able to get a lot of information about attribute conversion in the process of testing this and that.

“The attribute transformation is basically substituting a concept you already know into an aura, which makes it much easier and more powerful to draw sword skills.”

“The body, mind, and body must be completely assimilated and become one, so it is difficult to manifest unless you have encountered it a lot.”

“There was a time when Rogelia and I also stared at a bonfire for days and days to manifest the fire attribute.”

“Because what I vaguely know isn’t enough.”

That was the basic principle of attribute transformation.

“aha. So, there were many substitutes for things in nature. Everyone knows.”

“So, since you used the attribute transformation of water, you should be familiar with water.”

“But it was inland where I lived. I didn’t see the sea every day like Ophelia sunbaenim. It’s like a stream at most.”

“Actually, I just don’t remember, did you live by the sea when you were young?”

I don’t know, but it seemed like it wasn’t.

“Then how the hell did you write it?”

The property transformation of fire was roughly guessed.

Grandfather’s secret that remained in Noah’s memory.

Because it was so impressive that it was very vivid in my mind.

On the other hand, the property conversion of water was different.

“How the hell did Aurors come about?”

Rogelia got angry when she saw Noah, and then spoke to Aslan.

“Your aura is a great discovery that may overturn the concept of modern swordsmanship. You guys have been trying to monopolize things like this until now, right?”

“Isn’t it sad to hear you call people like this?”

“Now that it’s like this, I need to include Rina and I in the study group!”

“Why is there such a conclusion?”

The two didn’t even pay attention to what Noah tackled.

Aslan smiled and accepted Roselia’s words.

“Only dormitory students can enter the Black Moon Dormitory, right?”

“Then we can move here too!”

“okay. The time has come for Noah to escape as the youngest.”

“yes?”

* * *

the next morning.

Noah opened his mouth wide as he looked at the luggage that had filled the lobby of the Black Moon Dormitory since morning.

Tiu was brushing his teeth as if nothing happened even after seeing it.

“Why is there so much luggage for just two people? Tiu, aren’t you curious?”

“Those two originally built a mansion for the two of them inside the school with high ranker rights. To the people of the 8th generation, that is medicine.”

“You built a mansion? Then did you leave it alone and come here?”

It was an unimaginable luxury for Noah.

It was hard to follow the idea of building another house instead of finding a dormitory.

“I think there are about 20 closets, but that’s normal.”

Rogelia, who was giving instructions to the porters in training clothes, saw the two and said hello.

Linaria rubbed her sleepy eyes next to him and greeted them together.

“Oh, good morning both of you!”

“Ah, yes.”

“When I looked around earlier, the dormitory was in a mess. At this point, Linaria and I will fix everything.”

“Really?”

Even when I was dumbfounded, the words brought me to my senses.

To be honest, it was quite a hassle to repair the dormitory every morning and evening, and every weekend.

It didn’t take a lot of time, but it was something I had to do consistently.

When those times piled up, I had to spend a lot of time.

If you can practice swordsmanship throughout that time, you will be able to earn a lot of practice time.

Noah and Tiu were delighted with Roselia’s words, but they weren’t the dormitory heads.

kong!

“Ouch! Why do you hit me!”

Aslan appeared out of nowhere and fed Roselia honey chestnuts.

“no.”

“why? I don’t think you want to live with spiders either!”

“Only dormitory students can enter the dormitory. Have you forgotten the rules already? Send them all back.”

At Aslan’s words, Linaria sent all the porters who were only paying attention.

“Where is that! change it!”

“Yeah, no. You do the luggage and cleaning yourself.”

“this person… … So you know I’ll be back It doesn’t even matter!”

Rogelia picked up a broom she could see through her luggage and disappeared toward the room she was supposed to enter.

Aslan smiled contentedly at the sight and disappeared.

The eyes of those who were left naturally focused on Linaria, who was still dozing.

“… … Senior, can you not go?”

“I’m not as stupid as anyone else.”

Roselia and Linaria were known to the world as twins who got along well.

But looking at it now, it didn’t seem like that.

‘It seems that senior Aslan already knew… … .’

“It is terrifying.”

“Only you.”

“… … ?”

Noah uttered these words without thinking, but surprisingly Linaria seemed to have something to say.

“Probably, with your skills, you can push through the top sword contest by force. But you said you wanted the apex, right?”

Noah’s remarks had become famous in their own way.

Of course, I didn’t expect Linaria to know that, either.

“Try aiming for the first starter. It won’t be easy.”

“Wouldn’t it be easy?”

“Because in the finals of the preliminary round, there will be a girl who was exempted from the preliminary round.”

Linaria opened her eyes, which had been closed the whole time.

“There’s no way Princess Veronica will be left out in the match to choose the person to represent Nightray, right?”

* * *

The lunch of the day when Rogelia wandered around moving her belongings.

Finally, the long-awaited announcement of the preliminary round has been posted.

“The finals will be held as a tournament, and there will be a draw ceremony today?”

“It’s a tournament. It’s like this school.”

Like Noah, Tiu, who advanced to the finals, evaluated the announcement in simple words.

“In a selection match where you only need to select the top 10 players, to think that a tournament will be used to determine the first selection. It’s scary.”

“In the first place, rankings are given to students, isn’t there any particular difference?”

“Noah, you really… … .”

Tiu had a slightly tired expression.

“If I don’t choose first place, I won’t be able to compete with Veronica.”

I had just heard from Linaria, whom I met in the morning, that Veronica would also appear in the finals.

11th in the Night Ray ranking.

I couldn’t help but feel hopeless for being able to properly match one of the strongest players of this generation.

“Veronica-sama participated in Top Sword last year, but lost to the twins and lost the championship.”

“Are you number 11? Your ranking is higher than your twin seniors. But did you lose?”

“At that time, they said it was 568th. The twin seniors were also ranked 22nd and 23rd, respectively.”

“Is this because it’s a revenge game?”

Veronica was ahead in the rankings, but the title of winner still belonged to the twins.

Thanks to this, Veronica was challenging the top sword once again.

“There must be many other strong guys, right? A single-digit ranker or something?”

“Sorry, but that’s not the case.”

“Eh? why?”

“High rankers within the top 100 are too busy maintaining their rankings, so they don’t go out well in external competitions like this. Besides, 3 out of 15 immovable members participated this time, so there is nothing to be gained by coming out.”

“Nonsense. Shouldn’t you rather jump at the chance to face the immovable 15?”

“Isn’t it burdensome because it’s a competition that uses up the entire summer vacation? Each ranker of that level would have inherited their family’s swordsmanship, so during the vacation, they would have to go back home and learn their own swordsmanship more.”

Night Ray was a knight school, but it did not take responsibility for individual swordsmanship achievements.

It is impossible to teach the family’s secret swordsmanship instead.

Students still had to learn at home, so competitions that took up the entire vacation were a burden.

“Sheesh, then is it best to face Veronica in the finals?”

“Hmm, you don’t even think about the possibility of me making it to the finals?”

“Oh, that’s not necessarily true.”

Thiu was also the person who saw Noah’s swordsmanship the most at this school.

If it was a single match, there was a possibility that he would come prepared with something unimaginable and win.

Besides that, there were plenty of strong rivals.

“I am too.”

Noah and Tiu both looked back at the voice they heard from behind.

There, Felix was still holding Carlos like a chewing gum.

“That’s right, Felix, you were also on the list of contestants for the finals. I don’t think I saw it at the preliminaries.”

“Because there was a preliminaries in the middle of the retest. So, I won a ranking match against other qualifiers to advance.”

“You got the right to advance through the ranking match?”

“If there is an agreement between the two sides, it is possible to have a ranking match instead of ranking. Of course, there was no coercion, so don’t worry.”

Felix added an afterword, but it was hard to believe that there was any compulsion in his character.

In the first place, Veronica had put a bluff, so everyone was restraining themselves.

It wouldn’t have worked even if I was forced to.

“But I didn’t know you would be in a match like this. He seemed to want to be quiet.”

“Because you taught me that there are still many things I don’t know about.”

“hmm?”

“I thought I would be able to fight with more experience if I participated in a tournament in another country.”

“It will. Even I myself have learned a lot here. While the finalists have gathered, let’s all go see the lottery ceremony.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll take Miho too.”

Among the classmates, in addition to these three, Miho also advanced to the finals.

It wasn’t intentional, but when three out of four are together, leaving only one person behind is like an outcast.

The three of them found Miho and attended the lottery together.

* * *

“Miss Kuina.”

“Oh, is it Noah? Other freshman contestants are with you. It’s easy to count the number of people because they go together with their classmates, and it’s nice to see them.”

“You seem to be having a lot of trouble.”

Kuina, whom I met at the lottery hall, had dark under her eyes.

It was hard to imagine how much overwork he would have to do to become like that with the body of a superman who had mastered the martial arts.

“are you okay. Sometimes I want to kill all the bastards who boast about being seniors, but I haven’t killed anyone yet.”

“It doesn’t seem like a joke when I say it while sprinkling life like that, so could you please stop?”

As soon as I checked my attendance and sat down, the lottery ceremony began.

‘What else do you have to do with this event? Can’t I just pull it out?’

The question was soon resolved.

“The headmaster is entering.”

Upon Regina’s appearance, all the attendees stood up and bowed.

Standing on top of the podium, Regina gestured that she could sit down and went straight to the point.

“There might be some guys who wonder why I’m here, but they said they needed my permission as it’s an outside event with the school’s name on it. So I came to see what kind of guys are coming out.”

Hearing that they had come out to evaluate themselves, there was tension among the attendees.

Regina continued as if she didn’t care about that.

“This means that no matter how much blood and sweat you guys roll, if I don’t give you my permission, I’m going to say it’s a joke. Isn’t it really fun?”

“Kuina-san, is he a respected knight? I don’t think so?”

“As a knight, I respect myself, but as an educator, I certainly don’t… … .”

“The idiots there. Be quiet, I can hear everything you say.”

Regina saw Noah and started pecking at him as if he had been caught.

“You guys, Noah, made big promises on the day of the entrance ceremony that they would definitely knock me down, but they didn’t even show their noses.”

“Ahahahaha… … There are so many fun things in this school, stop.”

“Tsk, I will personally look at your final ranking redeployment exam, so be prepared.”

Having said that, Regina walked over to the tournament table that had been prepared on the podium.

There, the match up to the round of 32 was drawn with the name blank.

A total of 32 participants in the finals.

10 of them could go to the top sword, so if they reached the round of 8 with 2 wins, they had a chance to be safe, and if they fell in the round of 16, they had a chance to revive the losers.

“Then let’s pick a name right away. I’ll draw in order, so think of it as sticking to the neighboring number. at first… … This is Veronica.”

Even if it’s a loser’s respawn, it’s a structure where you have to win 1 to go out.

When Veronica’s name was chosen first, the attendees prayed that their name would not be chosen a second time.

“And secondly, this is fun. Are you a freshman?”

Regina smiled at the nameplate.
