Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

At the time Noah was wandering on the street, Veronica was wandering in search of Noah.

“The entrance ceremony should have ended a long time ago, but where the hell did it go!”

“There is a report that it appeared in the freshman dormitory, but it is confirmed that the dormitory registration has failed.”

“Oh, really! I’ve prepared a proper sword, not a practice sword!”

Veronica lamented with a puzzled expression.

“It’s a sword that I requested from an imperial craftsman! It’s a sword that ordinary people can’t get even if they have money!”

It wasn’t because Veronica had forgotten to promise to buy her a practice sword that was delayed by a month.

Rather, she said that she liked Noah’s skills and even moved the royal family to give Noah a suitable sword.

He had trained the best craftsmen who supplied swords to the imperial family, and had been making swords by moving forward what would have taken a year by one month.

“I finished it just in time for the entrance ceremony. You don’t even know where the recipient has gone?”

“We are inquiring through the faculty, but there is no news yet. Apparently, he was with the female student until the end… … .”

“Hey, you disappeared with a woman? That’s Okay! It’s my fault for trying to present a good sword to such a person! missing child! Throw this black sword into the imperial warehouse!”

Seeing that, Mia let out a sigh in her heart.

She was the direct maid of the princess Veronica, and even enrolled in the Night Ray to help her.

She was also well aware of the pattern of behavior when Veronica reacted this way.

‘If I really clean it up, he’ll find it the next time I meet him.’

If I couldn’t get it out in time, I was sure to get angry again.

At times like this, it was best to bring it with you when called.

‘But the lady seems to care about him quite a bit. Did something happen?’

Veronica had seen the best knights serving the Emperor since childhood.

It was hard to imagine that he would pay so much attention to freshmen because of his swordsmanship skills now.

‘Could it be that the face was my preference!’

Thanks to this, in Mia’s head, a leap of thought that would be terrifying if the person concerned heard it was made.

‘If the lady is overreacting like this, that’s the only reason!’

Veronica was annoyed, not imagining what Mia was thinking.

Mia, who had already turned the circuit that way, could only see her annoyed at the man’s affair.

‘Spring is here, lady…’ … !’

“You pervert! goat! trash!”

Unfortunately, the person who will resolve the misunderstanding did not even know about this situation.

* * *

At the same time, Noah and Tiu were drinking tea with Aslan at the Black Moon Dormitory.

The place where they were sitting was clean, but when I turned my head right away, I noticed at least a cobweb in a corner as if it were natural.

“I think the management is a mess to call it a dormitory.”

“This dormitory is actually a facility scheduled for demolition. It’s because the boarding students are still in school, so the demolition is being delayed until graduation.”

“Are you planning to demolish it?”

“Because we forcibly postponed the demolition, all the faculty and staff managing this place have already left. Thanks to that, the remaining students have to manage it themselves.”

The number of students remaining in the black moon was a number that could be counted on one hand.

As a result, it was difficult for them to manage all of this mansion, where numerous students once stayed.

So, it was a situation where only the frequently used places were managed.

“Do you really need to stay here? If you are ranked number 1, you should be able to stay in a nice facility.”

“It’s a pity, but my authority as number one has already been used up for other things. This is just a place with memories, so it is regrettable that it will be demolished like this, so it remains.”

I don’t know what’s going on, but the problem seems to be quite complicated.

‘It doesn’t seem like it’s purely for memories. Whatever the reason, it has nothing to do with me?’

“Anyway, so I want you two to come into this dorm.”

“Are you going to Noah with me?”

“I heard that the freshman dormitory has also fallen? It needs some cleaning, but there are plenty of empty rooms. So how is it?”

“It looks fine, but… … .”

It was a good condition for Tiu, but rather, it was hard to accept it when the opponent asked to come.

However, Noah immediately said hello to the following words.

“The staff members have been left out, but since it is a dormitory, there is no maintenance fee. You’ll be able to secure not only lodging expenses but also food expenses, right?”

“Thank you very much, senior. Where is my room?”

“Noah!”

Tiu screamed at Noah, who jumped up and shook hands with Aslan.

“why? It’s a proposal that has nothing bad for us, right? Tiu You don’t know, but I’m on the verge of being homeless until I rise in the rankings.”

“Yeah, but… … .”

Aslan smiled at Tiu.

“hahahaha, it’s natural to be worried when your boyfriend says he’s staying at a place like this.”

“I’m your boyfriend!”

“Wasn’t it? I thought it was like that, of course, because I came to this obscure place holding hands tightly. This place shouldn’t even be on the map.”

The Black Moon Dormitory was originally supposed to have been demolished, so it was not reflected on the current map.

In addition, all the staff had left, so not many people knew the location of this place in the first place.

“Empty land on the map, students disappearing every night… … Did the ghost story really refer to the Black Moon Dormitory?”

“A ghost story?”

Aslan was unaware of the rumors and burst into tears when he heard the story.

“That is interesting. Shall we decorate it like a haunted house?”

In the end, Thiu decided to come to the Black Moon, as if he thought it wouldn’t be bad if he could get his room and board for free instead of helping with building management.

Just as the story was about to end, the door to the Black Moon Dormitory burst open.

“OMG! End of today’s class! From the first day of school, hit some grass!”

With a body of more than 2 meters, he confidently showed off his muscular upper body.

Just by looking at his scars, he was a male student who could tell that he had gone through a lot of chaos.

‘Besides, aren’t there only scars from sword cuts?’

The wounds from the claws or teeth of the beast were clearly visible, unlike the sword wounds.

In Noah’s eyes, he seemed as much of a wild man as he was.

The male student who burst through the gate looked puzzled when he saw the group sitting in the drawing room.

“what? What are they?”

“Greetings. Let’s say Noah and Tiu, who are living under the same roof as us starting today.”

“Are you a freshman? really? Well, it’s going to be a party tonight. OK, so before that… … .”

chin!

The man approached Noah and Tiu and grabbed both of them by the shoulders.

“My name is Shiva. If you’re new, should you take a look at your skills?”

Tiu responded that it was burdensome, but Noah was pleased with his words.

“That’s good. But could you lend me a sword? The sword I was using recently broke.”

“There are many practice swords in the warehouse. Since the dormitory is located in a remote area, there are various items piled up. I’ll bring it.”

After Aslan said that and disappeared somewhere, Shiva looked at Tiu and said.

“Then, should I let you see him first until the sword comes?”

* * *

Unlike the entrance full of unorganized grass, the training ground in the backyard was neatly organized.

Noah waited for his turn and went out to watch.

Aslan brought a practice sword and sat down next to it.

“how is it? Who do you think will win?”

“well. Shiba-senpai looks strong too… … .”

Shiva took the same practice sword that Noah had been given and stepped out into the center of the gymnasium.

Comparing Shiva to the freshmen Noah saw, he seemed so strong that he would be sorry to compare him.

But compared to Aslan?

‘It’s not even comparable.’

By reading the opponent’s aura, I was able to grasp the general level.

Shiva’s aura was obviously high and powerful. However, Aslan’s aura could not be read at all.

In this case, it meant that there was a significant difference in skill, or that he was always covering his aura.

‘I’m sure it’s super strong either way.’

It was difficult to gauge Aslan’s skill until he tried it.

Shiva, on the other hand, felt more normally strong.

“Considering Tiu’s skills… … I think we might win.”

If you stick with it normally, Tiu will lose.

Tiu’s characteristic is to thoroughly study the opponent and come up with a countermeasure.

As a result, there was a side where I couldn’t show my skills to the first person I met.

However, it is not that there is no possibility if Tiu shows his skills 100%.

That was the level of the two Noah evaluated.

“okay? You mean that?”

Aslan accepted Noah’s words as if he were having fun.

“Then shall we take a look together?”

The contents of the sparring flowed quite normally.

There was no overwhelming level difference, and it was unavoidable because one side was excessively passive.

“Hey newcomer. You shouldn’t just watch my swordsmanship, you should also show off your swordsmanship.”

“I’m sorry, but doing this is my strategy and my swordsmanship. Everything you’ve seen so far is my swordsmanship.”

“Grunt… … It’s strange that I felt like I was the only one being observed when I tried to see the rookie’s skills. It’s unfair, so I won’t end it right away with this.”

Shiva dug into Tiu in a different way than before and blew away Tiu’s sword with a powerful upward slash.

Noah’s eyes widened at the last cut he used.

‘Isn’t that amazing?’

I couldn’t read the attack trajectory even right before the attack.

An amazing technique that you have no choice but to be defeated if you don’t know.

Of course, Tiu, who did not know, had no choice but to be defeated.

“Ugh, lost.”

“next!”

Noah immediately switched to Tiu at the sound of calling him.

“Don’t expect me to let you feel the taste of your hands.”

“It will be quite spicy.”

As soon as Noah started, he put on his sword and went ahead.

“It’s not even a sword you normally use, but you’re using sword skills quite well, right?”

“If you catch it, isn’t that the sword?”

If you handle your sword like your own limbs, you are said to be a master.

It also meant that the sword was clearly a foreign substance that was far from the human body.

“Ordinary freshmen are full of guys who can’t even use a sword unless it’s their own. Compared to those guys, it’s basic.”

Geomchi, which strengthens external substances, is more difficult than rigid body, which strengthens one’s own body.

The only thing that can be used is the sword skill when the sword and mind are unified.

As a result, it was not common for the sword to be used when it was not the one he used, or when he used a different hand from his usual hand.

On the other hand, Noah was using his first sword freely without any practice.

“Good!”

Shiva was excited and Noah calmly filtered them all out.

Seeing the surprise attack earlier, I had no choice but to be more cautious.

‘I won’t fall for the same number more than once. That’s not all.’

Noah wasn’t just enjoying competing with opponents using other swordsmanship.

The reason why it’s fun to see something new is because it makes one’s swordsmanship stronger.

Of course, it was all for ‘victory’.

‘First, induce them to show their skills.’

Noah steadily took action looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

It was obvious that if Shiva showed a gap, Noah would attack right away.

He, too, saw through Noah’s intentions.

‘If you see a gap, they’ll attack right away and try to come in. It looks like I’m intentionally aiming to show my gaps, where should I look at my skills?’

Shiva showed a gap pretending it wasn’t intended, and Noah attacked there pretending it wasn’t intended.

They pretend not to know each other, but in fact they know everything.

They were talking with swords.

‘A new guy, he’s pretty shameless, isn’t he?’

‘Does that sound like something I’m going to say?’

‘Then let’s see how to stop this.’

The raised slash that was used on Tiu.

If you don’t know, you have no choice but to suffer, but it was a skill that Noah had already seen.

Ting!

Noah’s sword got entangled in Shiva’s sword, and then Shiva’s sword was driven to the ground.

Right after that, Noah kicked Shiva’s sword and blew it away.

“I don’t know what you prepared, but if I don’t have a sword, my victory… … .”

“Yes, if you’re a freshman in the Black Moon, this should be it.”

Poof!

Noah, who thought the sparring was over, widened the distance in fright when the momentum of the opponent suddenly changed.

‘A person suddenly changed?’

Noah, who had a wild sense, could instinctively sense whether the opponent was stronger or weaker than me.

But now.

Shiva, who was not much different from Tiu, instantly felt like a huge cliff.

“You don’t have a sword, so you want to continue?”

“I don’t think it’s me but you?”

Quick!

At the same time, a crack formed in Noah’s sword.

“… … !”

“Actually, this is my true sword.”

Saying so, Shiva held out her hand.

Noah couldn’t help but be surprised to see it.

“The sword was applied to the nails… … ?”

“Hey, newcomer. Do you know why swordsmanship and rigid bodymanship are called different names even though they are the same abilities that strengthen the target with an aura?”

“That’s right, sword skill reinforces external substances, so it’s inevitably different from rigid body art.”

“No, to be precise, rigid body techniques are different from sword techniques.”

“… … ?”

Shiva began lecturing the bewildered Noah.

“It is a living human body that is strengthened by rigid body technique. What would happen if you simply hardened such a body?”

“… … If your muscles are tight, you won’t be able to move. The heart stops beating, so the blood stops.”

“That’s right, because of that, even if you rise to the level of rigid body, you only become proficient, but it doesn’t mean that new skills are created. It’s different from the sword.”

If the sword skill is expressed on the body, the body is permanently damaged.

But what if it’s like a fingernail?

“Nails are the weapons that humans have since birth. The swordsmanship using it is our family’s secret iron sword method.”

‘Is that swordsmanship?’

Noah was sincerely shaken by the unexpected identity.

‘I was really a frog in the well.’

Noah flicked the cracked sword with his fingers and broke it completely.

If the other person showed his sincerity, this time it was his turn to show his sincerity.

“Then I will go with my heart from now on.”

At the same time, sword spirit gushed over the edge of the broken sword.
