I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman

Episode 16. Monster Boundary (2)

Episode 16

One

There are two huge groups defending the Republic of Korea.

Cheonilmun Gate (天日門), where Kim Chul-jin, the ruler of the north, is the ruler of the sword.

Jeokhwadan (Enemy Fire Team) with Lijwa of the West, Hwaju (Fire Master) and Goddess Unwun as Danju

The Three Seats of the East, the landlord Unnamed Secret Royal Inspector

Incantation Sinmun (呪術神門) with Park Hyung-wook, the four seated priest in the center

Ojwa (五座) in the south, Noeohmun (雷烏門) where Unju Lee Si-ryeong is located

The first is the Obangojwa (五方五座), which is made up of five superhumans.

A family that produced sword masters from generation to generation and became the owner of the title of sword star. A distinguished Confucian family who helped the white-clad people in the era of the flood of monsters and raised up the Republic of Korea, and is the home of Yoo Ji-min, a prestigious Confucian family where Yu Kang is the head of the current family.

In the age of monsters, one great hero protected the powerless and weak, gathered and preserved talented people in one place, and became the foundation of the current Republic of Korea.

Yuga and white-clad people, commonly known as Noblesse, are the second.

Jin Hyun-min, a descendant of a great hero, has recently fallen into trouble.

“There is not enough training.”

After the fierce battle with the Minotaur, he realized his helplessness.

The spirit of overcoming fear and attacking a monster of an overwhelming weight class was extraordinary, but as a result, all he did was watch.

Considering that most of the cadets were terrified and trembled like aspen trees, in fact, he deserves a special evaluation for his spirit alone.

“I am weak.”

In fact, the instructors had good evaluations of him and Yoo Ji-min.

However, he was raised in an organization called the Blood Alliance, which was born to protect himself from monsters and keep in mind the family motto of ‘Side with the weak and protect the country’, he was not satisfied with just grit.

At this opportunity, I realized that fighting spirit alone was not enough.

The important thing is an unbreakable heart, but that alone couldn’t protect people.

What he pursues is not lofty swordsmanship, a position of respect that everyone looks up to, and the power to protect the weak.

“training! train! training! training! train! training!”

As the guardian of the next Republic of Korea. To become a clan leader.

and before reaching that goal.

To surpass ‘that guy’!

Hyunmin put more spur on his training.

“Turn it off!!”

A 200kg ultra-compressed sandbag was attached to each arm and leg. It’s hard to lift a finger, but he practices! train! shouted and moved one step at a time.

I want to know what kind of abuse this is, but his will is burning.

It’s because the weak (?) body that can only fall out of the Minotaur’s bamboo bread can’t surpass him! Something like that was the motive.

After moving 10 laps around the large personal training room, I stopped in my seat. Exactly, it fell.

“Khehehehe! Ha ha ha! hehehe-”

And then I split the room and passed out just like that.

[Singularity occurs!]

[Jin Hyun-min’s growth accelerates.]

“?”

Siwoo, who had just come out of the shower, tilted his head at the unexpected message.

What’s so special about it all of a sudden?

“What.”

Variables for unknown reasons are uncomfortable, but the contents are not bad. There’s nothing wrong with the main character’s growth so fast.

After closing the message, Siu lay down on the bed and opened the dimensional shop.

After completing daily missions and Minotaur runaway quests for several days, I accumulated quite a bit of points.

Today at the academy, I received the ‘energy enhancer’ in the form of an internal pill as a reward, so now it’s time to spend the points.

[Retained points: 2550]

I clicked the magnifying glass at the top and typed in ‘#supplements’.

Among them, when I bought [Energy Absorption Efficiency Supplement] for 500P, a plastic bottle fell from the air. As the name suggests, it is a supplement that helps to fully absorb energy.

“It looks like Poca X.”

In addition to this, Siu purchased miscellaneous items such as ‘Apotanas Candle’, ‘Orc’s Blood’, ‘Soil with Shallow Enchantment’, and lastly ‘Intermediate Combination Book’.

[Retained points: 200]

When the points I had accumulated so far showed the bottom, I felt like crying tears of blood, but I endured it.

It will be put on the front line from tomorrow. The combination of these goods is, of course, what is needed on the front.

When Siu tore the recipe book, a geometric magic circle appeared on the floor. After placing miscellaneous goods on top of it and waiting for a while, the magic circle began to glow.

After the brief flash, only a small glass bottle filled with blue liquid remained.

[I made ‘Doppelganger’s Tears’!]

[Doppelganger’s Tears]

-Copies ‘something’.

A doppelganger is a high-ranking monster with the fraudulent ability to copy even stats and skills. Doppelganger’s tears are items that allow you to use some of your doppelganger’s abilities.

However, since it is an item made with basic goods, its performance cannot be fully exploited.

If he could copy the dragon’s breath as it is, Siwoo would have rushed into the Pacific Ocean to catch the final boss right away.

Oh, maybe that’s not enough.

Siwoo shook off his thoughts and uncorked the glass bottle. Then, I put five pieces of horn fragments from the battle of the Minotaur.

A sizzling bubble rose, and the horn pieces completely melted in no time.

[The doppelganger’s tears melted the horn pieces of the distant descendant of the Thunder King.]

[You can copy parts of anything.]

[Copyable list]

Dozens of items appeared, but Siwoo quickly lowered them without checking. In the first place, I had no intention of copying abilities and low-level characteristics that had less than 10% of the original power.

If the ability is permanent, it may be worth considering, but the duration is less than a day.

After scrolling down and arriving at -(Others)-, Siwoo clicked on one item.

[Would you like to copy King of Thunder King’s momentum (0.59%)? (Yes/No)]

I clicked Yes.

[The doppelganger’s tears change into the lightning star’s breath.]

[Breath of the Thunder King]

-You can generate the momentum of the Thunder King.

– Consumes the user’s mana or energy.

The liquid turned red.

There is one reason why he chose the momentum of the King of Lightning, which is less than 1%, ignoring other stats because of his low efficiency.

This is because the Thunder King of ＜The Thunder King’s Momentum＞ is not the descendant of the Minotaur, but the real momentum of the monster, the Thunder King of the Thunder King, the progenitor.

That’s why it shows a terrible efficiency that is less than 1%.

It even uses energy as fuel.

It’s not that the actual force is getting stronger, it’s just to generate momentum, but Siu smiled with satisfaction.

The monsters, whose instincts include contempt for the weak and sense of danger, determine who is the predator, and it takes less than a second.

A monster that will attack even if it receives 0.59% of the momentum of a high-ranking monster… … , I’m sure even a few high-level monsters will run away after a while.

This is insurance just in case.

Insurance that will protect you if, on the front lines, you unluckily encounter a ridiculous monster.

You may wonder what such a high-ranking monster means on a well-organized and stabilized frontline, but it’s good to have some countermeasures for variables.

Especially if that’s an oops-and life can run away.

“next… ”

Now it’s time to increase your stamina. First of all, I took a one-shot of energy absorption efficiency supplements. It tasted like PocaX.

Afterwards, Siwoo, who took an energy booster that looked like a short medicine, lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

I used to sit cross-legged in martial arts ground, but in reality, I don’t have to.

As I turned my energy, my skin became hot.

Ironically, however, he felt cold.

In his dark vision, he suddenly began to see a scene.

It is a snowy field where not even the wind blows, and a sharp rocky mountain rises in the background. The sky is gray and the sun is not visible.

Siu realized that this was his own image. The chilling cold got worse, but somehow I got used to it and my heart was still.

This image will serve as a starting point for becoming stronger in raising the realm in the future. Siu contemplated deeply on his image.

The white shining sun, the still dark sky, the white snow field with no life visible, the small flowers blooming on the cliff, the frozen water… … .

Imagery is the inner world in which one’s nature is imaged. There is nothing meaningless in that background. Even if you can’t even guess what it means, everything has meaning.

Knowing that it is impossible to understand everything through contemplation, Siwoo did not fret despite the cryptic background.

After repeating Sojucheon dozens of times, the raging energy gradually subsided.

Siwoo, who had absorbed all his energy, opened his eyes.

“Um… .”

There was frost on the windows and breath came out.

“It’s cold… … hmm.”

Energy is different for each person. Depending on its nature, it affects the martial arts, swordsmanship, and skills learned.

It takes a minimum amount of energy to grasp its nature, but today Siwoo realized the nature of his energy.

Looking at the image, I expected it, but… … Should I realize my temper and like it, or should I be sad that I rolled my body with less than the minimum amount of energy.

smart tock-

It was then. Someone knocked on his front door.

When I opened the door, the hostel manager glared at him with weasel eyes and said.

“Cadet Lee Siu, did you use magic in the dorm?”

“yes?”

“It’s a penalty point.”

“to? what are you talking about, oh no!”

“No! The chill comes out of the room like this!”

Time passed and flowed and it became the day to go to the front.

Academy cadets gathered in the main playground.

Twelve squadrons were spaced apart, and behind them a huge military convoy waited majestically.

“Is everyone ready?”

“””yes!”””

At Cheon Kang-min’s words, the students shout loudly. Their determined expression and spirited posture seem to represent their mindset.

Siwoo is also among them.

“Nue eh eh~”

He expresses his rotting expression and his desire not to fall behind with his whole body.

He will be like that, and the army comes to mind as he is lined up in line with the fives and is in a posture of resting with enthusiasm. It feels like a blow.

Well, I don’t think that’s too wrong.

“I was an instructor until yesterday, but as of now, I am the company commander of the 1st assault company. The cadets belong to the 1st assault company, Fierce Tiger Platoon. The 1st assault company is committed to the front line in wartime and performs its mission.”

Ugh, f*ck.

It seems to be a role similar to the place where I served in my previous life.

The place where even the slogan of the salute contained the meaning of advancing to the north… … .

I heard that I could ride a helicopter and get a life allowance, so I quickly applied and it was the place that was considered the most difficult in the corps… … .

In reality, it was full of dung-guns, executives didn’t even salute directly, and there were a lot of dirty work… … .

When Siwoo was shaking from PTSD in the past, the door of the waiting convoy opened.

Inside the convoy, which looked like a freight car, there were long chairs on each side.

“We go in order, starting at the top. Fill it from the inside out.”

Se-woo, who was in the middle, sat on the left edge. When all the cadets were seated, Kangmin opened his mouth again.

“The warriors on the left are the 1st squad, and the warriors on the right are the 2nd squad. Be sure to remember where you belong.”

Siwoo leaned his elbows on his knees and covered his face with both hands, whether or not he said anything.

life, sh*t. It’s because I feel like I’m re-enlisting, so I’m in a bad mood since the morning.

“It takes about four hours to arrive. It would be nice to go to the warp, but I think everyone knows that it’s not possible because the magic field is in place for security reasons.”

re-enlistment

“Before arrival, each squad has to select a squad leader cadet and a sub cadet leader. The squad leader has the same rank as the warriors, but has the authority to command. Also, if the squad leader and sub-commander perform their duties well, there will be separate rewards. Of course, you have to perform ‘well’.”

kiik-

The door is closed.

It was a while to look at each other’s eyes hesitantly, Yoo Ji-min and Jin Hyeon-min volunteered for the squad leader, and were selected as the 1st squad leader and the 2nd squad leader.

There was a vote for and against and a word of resolution, but Siu was still covering his face.

Next it was the turn of the vice-captain.

Jin Hyun-min saw the admission, and the cadets shone with sharp eyes.

To be honest, it felt like the squad leader had already been decided, so no one else volunteered except for them, but the sub-captain is different.

The election of sub-captains began with Jin Hyun-min’s second squad. As many as 5 out of 20 squad members applied for a fierce battle of words.

They coherently talked about their aspirations, resolutions, grades, and reasons why they had to do it, subtly revealing why they were better than other candidates.

In an exciting nerve war, the cadets forgot the fear of being put into actual combat for a while and put their heat on the election of a sub-captain, and eventually Seo Do-won was selected.

Next is part 1.

Six out of 19 volunteered. Nearly a third of them came out as candidates, and they were short of votes. The war of words was fiercer than the second squad, but overwhelmingly, there was no one to say.

Of course, Siwoo buried his face in his hands while muttering that he was going to re-enlist.

Voting took a long time.

Even if they tried to reduce the candidates one by one by dropping the candidate who received the least votes, it was difficult to make a decision because everyone always received one vote.

The heated atmosphere started to become looser, and Yoo Ji-min wondered if he should just point it out.

It was then.

“excuse me… … May I make a recommendation?”

One of the cadets raised his hand and said.

There are already 6 candidates, but you want to increase more?

Jin Hyun-min tilted his head, but he was able to guess who he would recommend.

Even if the number of candidates is increased to 7, there is one person in each squad who can sweep the votes by himself. Had he run first in the first place, no other cadets would have been nominated.

Coincidentally, isn’t that student right next to him?

“I will be recommended. tell.”

“transplant… … … ?”

However, the cadet’s words did not follow.

Because someone grabbed him by the shoulder from behind.

You can tell without looking back.

behind you now. there is a devil

Lips were dry. The death bell that had sounded when confronting the Minotaur was now ringing again.

The cadet quietly lowered his hand.

however.

“Yes, I will accept Lee Si-woo as the candidate for sub-captain. And we will proceed with the re-voting immediately.”

Jin Hyeon-min quickly accepted the cadet’s words and registered Si-woo as a candidate for sub-captain.

And with an overwhelming vote, Siwoo was selected as the sub-captain.
