chapter 3
3 – It’s good to train your body though
Practical swordsmanship 1. Class time.
The venue is a parade ground.
Many students are throwing swords at the command of the male professor.
“Head! Waist! There Luke, his upper body tilted forward! If you straighten your posture a little, you’ll get a nice cut, right? Once again!”
A male professor with a docile impression.
I don’t know the name. I’ve never memorized a name other than a female professor.
I’m stuck in the middle of the students and I’m taking the same posture. A trembling arm, a wooden sword moving sloppily. The weight of the wooden sword is about 500g, so I can clearly see how trash my strength is. Every time the male professor’s gaze reached me, I felt a little pity.
The reason I don’t fully focus on the sword is because it’s okay. With his current poor strength, he couldn’t even imitate the sword of his previous life. No, even mentioning the sword from my previous life is disgraceful. Because the tower of swords I have built cannot be surpassed by anyone.
In other words, now it’s about making the wood from which the buildings are built a little more human. I haven’t even picked the ground yet, but the materials are terrible.
Still, actual swordsmanship 1 was much more beneficial than Rin’s theory class. Muscular strength is the basis of human beings. My body must be strong enough to withstand the use of magical power.
The male professor looked back at the children and approached me clearing his throat.
“Evan.”
“Yes.”
The male professor has a troubled expression on how to speak.
I hope it doesn’t take too much time. Right now, I want to do at least one more cut down.
The male professor, who soon made up his mind, said quietly, lowering his gaze to the floor.
“I… Evan…… I heard the news. This time, I also confessed to Professor Lin… Can’t we just quit now? Of course, I’m a man too, so I know what you’re interested in when you’re jealous. Mature women are attractive. But you are a student If you don’t practice hard now, you will regret it later.”
The male professor wasn’t wrong.
If it was me in my previous life, it would have been enough advice. But now I’m not interested in that at all.
“Okay.”
It is the karma of the previous life, so it is necessary to get rid of it. The male professor had a bright face.
“Really? Great, Evan! I’ll talk to the female professors. Don’t worry too much, this professor will definitely graduate you.”
“Are you finished?”
“Huh?”
“If it’s over, I want to swing my sword.”
“Uh uh… ….”
I like the way he tries to be considerate of me, but he talks too much. One minute has already passed. One minute is enough time to swing a sword 60 times. The embarrassed male professor scratched the back of his head and walked away.

Practical swordsmanship 1. Professor Khan is a man who is rumored to be an angel teacher.
Born as a commoner, he has been ignored a lot in his life, and he is a rumored man who doesn’t want students to go through what he went through.
A person who believes that no matter how problematic a child is, there is still room for rehabilitation.
To Khan, Evan was an indolent student. He is blacklisted by female professors, and Evan swings his sword roughly as if he had no choice but to apply for a lecture.
Khan felt sorry for Evan. To be so indolent in this golden period is to come back with great regret later. Everyone else is ahead, but only you are going slow. The problem is that the kids who get ahead never stop.
Khan didn’t expect much from Evan. He was also a swordsman, so he knew how to objectively judge human talent. Evan is honestly a student who is in the middle of graduating. First of all, the class is confirmed for this school year.
Repealing grades is fatal to students, so even after graduating, there was a high probability that various knights would reject them after seeing their life records. In order to get rid of the replenishment, the female professors had to remove Evan from the blacklist, but the female professors were determined.
[That guy only looks at my butt the whole class? It’s the worst! Should I not wear tight clothes because I am a student?]
Professor Mika, with yellow hair, seemed to have suffered a lot.
Evan was outspoken, but he didn’t seem to know that most male students gave him that kind of attention because of his extremely lean body.
Her khan squeezed her mouth shut. Still, she wanted to say that the reprieve was too severe, but she didn’t have the confidence to handle the anger of the female professors.
Something Evan’s behavior had to change. Even if she defends Evan, if he flirts with the female professors again, it’s a joke. So Khan tried to tell Evan today, “Why don’t you stop flirting with female professors, because you have to avoid replenishment.”
‘I could get hurt, so turn around as much as possible.’
For a swordsman, he was a particularly good-hearted Khan.
He looked for Evan with a nervous heart. It’s still a sloppy cut, but for some reason, Evan is doing the cut with all his heart today. Khan was happy. At least if the mindset changes, humans can change as much as they like.
But standing in front of Evan and talking about Evan’s confession wasn’t easy. Can you say that it is a student’s shame? Khan whispered in a quiet voice that only Evan could hear. He asked not to flirt with female professors anymore, and Evan surprisingly readily agreed.
“Really? Great, Evan! I’ll talk to the female professors.”
Khan was genuinely happy. I was worried about Evan, but he finally understands his feelings! I hope that Evan will graduate safely.
Khan thought that his constant efforts paid off.
“Are you finished?”
“Huh?”
But Evan’s attitude was cold.
As if displeased that an important moment was interrupted, he glared at Khan as if to kill him.
‘Wasn’t Evan recognizing my sincerity?’
Khan imagined that the more moved students should have had tears in their eyes, or similarly moved.
‘…… It could be that I’m not good at expressing myself.’
Still, watching Evan diligently descend and slash again, Khan took a step back. It is the duty of an educator to open the door of a firmly closed heart.
There was no such thing as a closed door to Evan.

Today’s class is over.
‘The level of theory is poor, and my body is trash beyond that.’
I didn’t gain any new knowledge, but it was nice to be able to grasp the present.
Of course, I haven’t read all the knowledge in the academy, so I’m sure there may be helpful information. But at least the things I saw today were just too disappointing.
‘Let’s train the body for now.’
The most important thing is strength and stamina.
Originally, these things that should be done separately can be done at once at the academy.
The [Physical Training Room] Is always open to students.
It is a place that professors often visit because it is so large and well-equipped.
There are many fitness equipment inside, and various weapons are hung on the wall. I went into the [Gravity training room] Carrying a steel sword of moderate weight.
The real reason why I visited the gym.
To go to the gravity training room inside the physical training room.
The gravity training room has made gravity very heavy with magic. In other words, as if weights were attached to the whole body, just staying still in the gravity training room would be a strength exercise.
‘Let’s go to the 2x gravity training room first.’
I want to go to the 15x gravity chamber, but at the current level, 2x would be the limit.
I went into the double gravity training room. Gravity is transmitted heavily as soon as you enter. There were a lot of first-year students inside and one professor.
Professor Cynthia Innin Gramberge. She is the one who was my first lecturer. She is waving her light blue hair and swinging her sword as if doing her gymnastics. If so, someone who can easily move even in a 15x gravity chamber is probably here to do a light warm-up.
I settled down in a suitable corner and swung my sword. At a glance, the descending sword was terrible, but it is getting better little by little. Let’s get rid of bad habits first. If I do it step by step, someday I will be able to stand on the road I reached again.
I swung my sword. Once, ten times, a hundred times… A thousand times…… I completely fell for the sword.
I didn’t name my swordsmanship. I just wielded it as I wanted, and picked the form I liked the most. The forest at night is frighteningly dark, relying on a little moonlight… I wanted to make the light a little bigger.
『Sword of Gaebyeok.』
This is just an arbitrary name given by the device.
The name that best suits my sword’s nature. It’s the power of my previous life, which I can never reach with my current level, but the more the sword is refined, the more the future my sword will walk on is overlaid.
The witch king who dyed her world with a curse all over her, in the form of her my sword that cut her open.
‘Open the darkness.’
I am the master of light.
When I came to my senses, my arms and shoulders were covered in blood. The pain overtook me, and I heard whispers all around me. I know that the tendon has ruptured without checking. I’m going to have to tighten it with magic and match it.
‘I was overdoing it.’
I tried to give only the best stimulation for muscle growth, but I crossed the line. I can’t help it because it’s fun to swing the sword, but it’s effective when I build up my muscles while resting.
I sighed and picked up the device.
『Name: Evan Innin Grace
Title: Knight of Dawn
Strength : F
Magic Power : EX+
Intelligence: A+
Stamina: F
Agility : F
Attributes: Endurance, Indomitability, Heart of Water, Fighting Spirit, Sublime Will
Image World: ?? Unable to verify.
Skill street: Sword of Gaebyeok (1 star), Steps to open the darkness (0 star)』
As expected, nothing has changed in his abilities.
It’s not something that changes easily, so we have to work hard.
The image world is not displayed. Maybe it’s because it’s an older model, so I’ll have to buy a more expensive device later.
It was unexpected that the sword of Gaebyeok went up to 1 star. What was originally marked as 0 star, went up to 1 star. Right now, I can’t unleash the 1st sword of Gaebyeok. It seems that the device judged that it was probably because it overreacted and imitated it.
‘In the end, is it my judgment that I trust?’
Devices are not trustworthy.
I took the sword and left the gravity training room.
At the entrance, a woman with light blue hair blocked my way.
A woman wearing riding clothes that are easy to move in and wearing a long sword at her waist.
Professor Cynthia of the Marquis of Gramberge.
I’m the main character of my first love, but maybe it’s because a lot of time has passed that I don’t feel anything… I want to go back to the dorm quickly and build muscle.
She was looking up at me with her arms crossed. 30 Seconds passed.
“If there is no business, I will pass.”
“Evan.”
“Yes.”
“Ah, don’t approach me and listen. It’s unpleasant when you come close.”
“……….”
There are many people who are interested in every detail of my actions lately. I don’t care what gossip behind my back, but it’s hard to tolerate behavior that takes up time in front of me.
“Are you going back like this? It’s strange that you’re visiting the gravity training room for the first time. It’s bleeding badly, go see a healer.”
In some way, she would do her duty as a professor, but I don’t need it. If I massage my body with magic, it will recover on its own.
“This is what I say as a professor. I don’t know if you see me as a woman, not a professor… Did you understand?”
“I will go when I have said everything.”
Cynthia looked dumbfounded. I know you want to admonish, but time is wasted. Already she passed 2 minutes. She is longer than the male professor.
I passed Professor Cynthia.
“……….”
