I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman

Episode 10

One

The next morning’s lecture, ‘How to Survive the Giant’

A man with ponytails was sitting in the corner of the back seat. You wouldn’t know unless someone said it was there.

He stroked his wiry beard. He didn’t wear a mask, so the face of the original yakuza was exposed.

However, people did not panic.

This is because he activated some of the effects of ‘Surface Confidence’ obtained by defeating Blur in his room.

The superficial seclusion, which not only removes the presence but also erases the presence, offsets the intimidation to some extent, so people are not afraid even if they do not wear a mask.

“It will be like this a long time ago.”

You must have acquired the skill of a monster. I didn’t know that only some of them could be activated.

There are some things I didn’t use because I knew that if I used ki because of the character for ‘Ma’ in a monster, the efficiency would decrease.

As a result, if you use only a part of it without using full stealth, the amount of recovery and consumption are almost the same, so it can be activated at all times.

Then the professor came in.

“The official first schedule was yesterday, but the first class is today. It’s the first day, so it’s OT, so it’ll be over soon. Everyone, open your book.”

The red-brown coat with a calm feeling is a uniform exclusively for the ‘professor’. A middle-aged male professor started class by turning on a hologram.

Siu, who had such light thoughts, frowned and took out a book.

The heavy feeling of the ‘Wartime Giant Monster Survival Guide’. It can be used as a weapon in case of emergency.

“The coursebook consists of a total of 16 lectures. The goal of this lecture is from 1 to 10. Don’t be too surprised.”

10 lectures in one semester?

It’s 10 lectures of a total of 1,400 pages. Siu’s heart began to pound.

“Lectures 1 and 2 will probably be familiar to everyone. Listen with an open mind.”

Siwoo looked at the contents of lectures 1 and 2. Except for the names and photos of the monsters, there was nothing I could understand.

After flipping through a few more pages, Siwoo nodded as if he realized something.

“Let’s listen lightly.”

I realized that I was wrong a long time ago.

Even if you get good grades, it doesn’t mean much. You just have to be careful about failing. Because if you fail twice, you will be expelled.

The lecture room was filled with the sound of the professor’s words and the cadets’ notes.

Everyone is doing their best in their respective roles in their respective positions.

It was natural for professors to have their own sense of mission, and for those who came to this place after passing the selection test, they had the goal of being heroes.

Siu knew that this sense of detachment was due to the absence of such a driving force.

Of course, this is an excuse.

It’s a particularly good day today, and it’s been a long time since I’ve been trying to hold a pen holder, so my head doesn’t follow, so it’s an appropriate excuse to put it in between those reasons.

Anyway, it’s the same that I can’t concentrate in class.

Even the underline the professor asked him to draw was crookedly drawing with his chin resting.

In the first place, I didn’t even bring an eraser, let alone a highlighter. Books in his bag, sharps in his pocket, that was all he packed.

I can’t even think of lectures anyway… … .

Siwoo spread the back.

After turning over the appendices, such as new terms and explanations, and how to set standards for some kind of measurement method, a white background with nothing in it came out.

Carefully slit the inlay and put the major book to one side.

A blank sheet of paper in front of him, a pen holder is inserted right in the middle.

square-

square-

The pen moved and the dots became lines. Lines sometimes become circles, draw diagonal lines, and sometimes cross both ends.

square-

square-

Over time, the white paper turned black.

It is a random graffiti without disagreement.

Usually it’s graffiti that he doesn’t even know what he’s drawing, but he was quite focused.

His hand stopped only after creating a black and white half state.

And while looking at the paper, he smiled.

“It’s graffiti.”

It was a graffiti that was flawless even by his own eyes.

“It doesn’t work out the way you think.”

This graffiti is an expression of the inspiration that came to me while training yesterday.

The writing was ambiguous, so I tried to leave it like a picture.

Just as masters leave the essence of swordsmanship on a huge wall with sword scars, they tried to unleash their inspiration on a small pen holder and paper.

However, the actual result was a strange work that even the creator himself could not recognize.

Looking at the clock, there were 30 minutes left until the end.

I took the class late, but as expected, I only knew what I didn’t know.

I just wrote down the content that was moderately emphasized.

Then, Yoo Ji-min raised his hand.

“Professor, I have a question for you.”

A student who interrupts the professor and asks questions… … , It was the first time I saw Siwoo, who graduated from college.

Yoo Ji-min said that he was passionate and enthusiastic about everything in the set, so it seems to be true. If so, was yesterday’s application for sparring an extension of that nature?

I felt a little sorry for rejecting it because I thought it was a useless competitive desire, but even if I knew it anyway, I would have rejected it.

Because I wanted to avoid useless fights if possible.

“From now on, if you raise your hand and wait, I will finish it properly and order it.”

“sorry.”

“No, I don’t hate student questions. rather like it What are you curious about?”

“yes. in the book… .”

They say something about the 17th line, but I only understood that. After that, there was a series of incomprehensible words in Korean.

The other kids were busy writing down what they learned from it.

He looked at Yoo Ji-min standing alone in the lecture hall, then looked away as she sat down.

… … It would have been if it hadn’t been for the girl who was staring at him.

“… ?”

I quickly turned my head, but I was wrong. If that’s the case, don’t flinch.

“… … What the hell is he?”

Someone said it was the hug villain.

If you look at what I don’t remember, it’s definitely not the casting year.

In fact, there are at most a dozen characters who lead the story of Desire. Most of the rest of the world is just… … a person

If so, why does that person keep looking at you, and did you have a grudge because you didn’t hug them back then?

Siwoo, who wondered if that was the case, trembled, thinking that it could be true.

In Yagem’s worldview, the highest and purest love has almost died out, and it is a daily life that it burns as soon as it meets your eyes.

Refusal of skinship… … , especially men rarely reject a woman’s proposal.

when he was a player. I remembered the text of the dialogue when I rejected the overnight offer from a female NPC.

-(With great pride) I won’t forget today.

-(Cleaning his teeth) Do you think you can be anything?

-(With mad eyes) I will hit the ground someday and regret it.

… … Suddenly, goosebumps broke out all over his body.

The thought that I should not associate with the people here became stronger.

That was when

[Event. Stop the rampage of monsters.]

▶ During the afternoon lecture ‘Via Monster Combat Training’, monsters run amok.

▶ You never know which monster will run amok.

▶Success condition: Survival of all cadets.

“What is this again?”

“That’s all for today.”

So class is over.

After lunch with a sandwich, Siwoo arrived at the class location. The building in the shape of a hexagon across from the Iron Cradle is that place.

Named ‘Warrior’s Heart’, this building has a pierced ceiling like a Colosseum and a wide field in the center. Festivals, ranking matches, and other big events all take place here.

Maybe that’s why everyone just calls it the Colosseum. For reference, the nickname of the Iron Cradle, where there were countless ego weapons, is the treasure house.

“Arena No. 9… .”

25 battlegrounds on the field. There were numbers floating in the air, whether they were holograms or magic.

Arriving at the 9th training arena, Siwoo jumped into the training arena at shoulder height.

“It is very wide.”

A round arena with lattice tiles.

From the outside, it doesn’t seem to be this wide, but it seems that technology he didn’t know was applied.

It was Siwoo who thought how long it had been since he fell in the game, and thought that he was going to do pretty much everything.

Siwoo patted the tile with the tip of his toe and circled the arena.

“In terms of diameter… … . Will it be 200m?”

He touched his chin and pondered something before moving toward the edge.

Are you trying to prepare for a quest that suddenly appeared?

“Eww.”

Siwoo, who was lying on his back, blankly looked up at the sky. It was a high, blue, cloudless sky.

And soon I closed my eyes.

The gentle wind blowing is just right for you-

belt ring-

[Episode 1. Academy]

[Quest2. Stop the rampage of monsters.]

▶1:00:00 until the next lecture

Siwoo slightly opened his eyes.

An hour notification popped up.

The timing was very precise. It was as if he was grumbling, as if he didn’t like Siwoo’s behavior.

Of course, the system has no self.

“What are you going to do now?”

Siwoo tried to protest.

All he could do was come early and look around the field where the incident would take place.

Wouldn’t it be right to sleep and improve your condition a little bit?

To be honest, I pretended to be calm, but it wasn’t comfortable.

Giant Monster Combat Training is a lecture that trains multiple pincers against strong monsters.

As long as the restraints are filled to prevent runaway, any number of attacks that lead to half a sound are possible. This is because it is an intense training with the front line in mind.

Healers will always be on standby, but that doesn’t diminish the fear of hurt and pain.

Siu clearly remembers the sudden death when a monster attacked his room.

A real life-and-death struggle isn’t a common experience even for cadets here, but Siu isn’t proud of it at all, and doesn’t build any confidence based on it.

What I learned from the experience at that time is that in the moment of a desperate struggle, humans may strangle themselves for survival.

Siu closed his eyes again.

He muttered, “Does the rampage of monsters make sense at the academy?” “The quests are too sudden.”

“Before proceeding, I will briefly explain this lesson.”

I opened my eyes.

Cadets were lined up on the field.

It feels like 3 seconds have passed, but has it already been an hour? Siwoo rubbed his forehead and slipped into the right place.

“Big monster combat training is designed to develop combat proficiency and willpower when deployed in small-scale raids or when a large number of personnel encounter an out-of-standard monster during a mission.”

Siu thought in a daze. I don’t want to develop willpower like that at all.

“Everyone must have fought a monster before, but there must have been at least some safety device. There must have been a belief that his life was intact. However, if there is such a safety device, it is half the price, no matter how realistic the environment is.”

Most of the cadets are in their early twenties. Although they say that the most talented come in in their late teens. It is similar to the early twenties or teenagers that a man in his thirties recalls.

Having to train at the risk of one’s youthful days, the conviction that this world seems crazy is even stronger.

“Originally, classes should be held according to the groups assigned according to grades, but today all the cadets on this field will be put in.”

“What you can unfold when risking your life is your true skill. Everyone will never forget this day. Your ancestors were like that, and so was I.”

Siwoo habitually put his hand to his mouth.

Tobacco is desperate

A terrible unforgettable memory, isn’t it usually called trauma? To be an instructor who scares you that you will experience trauma is disqualifying as an adult.

“I will introduce you to the monsters you will face.”

Siwoo already knew that monster.

It was also because of the peculiarity of the monster’s species.

awesome-

damn-

A crack appeared in the air behind the instructor.

“The official name is Thunder King.”

Before long, a huge hand came out of the crack and touched the air.

Crisp-

Space ripped open, protruding huge horns and hoofed feet.

A face was finally seen, and several of the cadets backed away.

“People call it the Minotaur.”

Monsters in mythology have been glorified. If Theseus had really encountered that monster, he would have fainted on the spot.

“Then, good luck.”

After saying that, the instructor disappeared.

“Quoooooo-!!”

The monster roared, and the cadets who were suppressed by their peers stood stiff as if they were shaking aspen trees.

[The ‘purity’ of Ᏹ?@*?’s soul resists the work cry.]

Siwoo stroked the sword with a mixed feeling.
