chapter 34
034. Zeroth Tarbella (2)
An indescribable desire to compete was felt between Ponte’s small eyes. It can be too embarrassing. Fonte That guy must be a brawler.
“Get out your personal weapon.”
Zeros captivated the cadets with his charismatic voice. Even though the class started abruptly, the cadets displayed great concentration.
Indeed, he was the idol of combat cadets.
When I took out the holy sword, Fonte asked.
“Where am I a sword? It looks too ordinary.”
“… … .”
Didn’t answer.
Ponte carefully inspected my sword. Even he, who is usually a weapon geek, didn’t seem to know about this holy sword.
Ponte stared at me for a moment before turning his attention to Zeroth’s words. Ackerman, Ponte, Hoya… … .
Named characters were no exception. I can’t stand the name Royal Knights.
“Every subject you learn is, after all, for practical use. However, when I looked at the curriculum, it was useless at all.”
Zeros blatantly shot Gilliot.
The cadets also noticed something was strange. The atmosphere becomes increasingly strange.
“From now on, what I teach you is 100% for actual combat. It’s a lesson based on my experience that I can’t learn anywhere else.”
His tone and arrogant attitude were repulsive, but no one here can deny his practical experience and skills.
Being the captain of the Royal Knights Assault Brigade is not something anyone can do.
“Cadet Cain. Get your posture. I will attack from now on, so do your best to block it.”
“… … Yes.”
That the two are related is a fact known to most cadets. Abella, Tarbella. Because it’s such a famous family name.
However, the way Zeroth treated Cain was such that it was impossible to think of them as relatives.
Cold flows from the horse.
The eyes are as sharp as cutting.
It was the same with Cain.
The Tarbella family cannot hold a higher position than the Abella family. Zeros feels inferior to the shackles that he is bound to because of his branch family.
Zeroth raised the practice sword to his cheek.
evil eyes.
Then a lightning-like motion followed.
It’s fast, but it’s clear to my eyes.
It seemed to strike from the bottom up, but before I knew it, the sword path changed and was converted into a stabbing.
Cain seemed to react to that terrifying speed, but soon he was hit with his left arm by a changed attack. The attack was too brutal to call it a class.
“Ugh!”
Cain collapsed with a short scream. Even though Zeroth hurt the cadet, he didn’t blink an eye.
The cadets held their breath. I thought it was excessive, but I couldn’t come out easily. Ackerman flinched as well, but kept his mouth shut as if he thought he had to endure it for now.
“As we all have seen, attacks cannot be honest. You can kill your opponent by aiming for their gaps. Chivalry and rules don’t work for monsters.”
Zeros beckoned Cain to stand up.
Cain was furious, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
It’s just a class… … .
Cain grabbed his left arm and stood up again.
Cain wasn’t about to collapse just like this.
“Now, it’s your turn to attack.”
Zeroth said as if provoking.
Cain took a deep breath and stood up.
“come.”
Come and see me wherever you are, I will make you feel the wall. Rather than class, the tone was closer to taking out his anger on Cain.
Sparks flew in the eyes of the two.
The story seems deep.
Of course, Cain wasn’t the type to bring her personal feelings to class, so she tried to show off her skills she had accumulated through sweat and blood during the vacation.
–!
Cain’s swift rush.
Swift attacks, which were no different from her main specialty, poured in without a break. It was so great that even the class A cadets were fascinated by it.
… … However, the opponent is the leader of the assault force of the Royal Knights. Even if the opponent wasn’t good, the problem was that it was too bad. It’s absolutely not an opponent she can try right away.
Zeros easily blocked Cain’s attack with all his might.
really too easy.
Cain Abella eventually fell into Zeroth’s counterattack. He was never an opponent with a sword.
The cadets were in great shock.
Cain is at the top level in Class A. That’s why she collapsed without even giving a single blow.
The wall they faced was much higher than expected.
The academy is just inside the well.
The dream faltered in an instant.
It’s never a good education method in Gilliot’s view. But Gilliot couldn’t step out right away. There were already instructions from the king, and the contents of the class itself had been agreed upon.
“As everyone has seen, Cadet Cain’s attack was obvious, not sharp, and not even destructive. In a word, it was a mess. this… … This is the current address of the upper class cadets in Class A. What did you learn in one semester? Did you come to the academy to play, you guys?”
Zeroth destroys the cadets’ pride. His way of thinking of stepping on others was relentless even to the buds that were growing.
“Are you resentful? Then grit your teeth and learn. It must be a rare opportunity.”
No one could argue with his words. It is true that I was resentful, and it is also true that this is a rare opportunity. Zeros is not just a mouthful.
“Each of them takes turns taking turns. As I said, don’t attack in the obvious. Think fiercely about how to outwit your opponent, and wield your weapon. Every moment is a real battle!”
“Yes!”
Tension rises.
Zeroth’s teaching style was rough, dangerous, and arrogant, but his charisma was unmistakable. The cadets began to attend classes more sincerely than ever before.
I am no exception either.
The course content itself was unconditionally helpful. Although he is a villain, there are definitely things to learn from him. Let’s get what we need
* * *
Looking at the narrow eyes that are aiming at me, I’m going crazy because I’m uncomfortable.
Ponte was smiling contentedly as if he had been waiting for this day.
“Let the teacher on the left attack first.”
Zeroth’s horse fell.
As if Ponte had been waiting, he held the spear. The boy’s arm muscles bulged out.
Name: Ponte Christo
Gender: male
Age: 20
Personality: [Honestness] [Justice] [Desire to compete]
Specialty: [Thunderbolt] [Slitting eyes]
Stats: [Strength: 23] [Agility: 18] [Stamina: 16] [Luck: 4]
Power: [20/20]
Looking at the status window, it seems that he has grown quite a bit during the vacation.
Somehow it feels bigger than the game.
As in all games, the higher the level or stats, the slower the growth. But the growth rate of that guy is beyond words.
What the hell did you eat and what kind of exercise did you do to grow like that in a month? Really, there are no monsters.
“Ready.”
I also took a purifier and took a stance. The Holy Sword keyed and cried. It is the first battle in several hundred years. He doesn’t have an ego, but somehow I feel that he’s looking forward to it.
Control your breathing and focus on Ponte’s breathing and muscle movement.
“start.”
Zeroth crossed his arms and announced the start of the sparring.
“Ahhh!”
At the same time, spirits erupted all over the gym.
As expected, the biggest spirit exploded right in front of me. Ponte guy. Are you going to kill me?
It wasn’t spearmanship, but Ponte’s attack that was closer to batonjutsu began.
bung bung. Fonte, who spun his spear menacingly, gained momentum after three run-ups and charged me. Zeroth’s advice was so honest that it was colorless.
However, the attack is so devastating that if you just hit it, your bones will be crushed.
When I concentrate my mind, the movements seem slow, as if time is passing slowly.
You can’t wield the holy sword at will right now, so you have to anticipate the attack and move in advance.
I swung the holy sword a little faster than Ponte. Only then can the timing be right.
‘Ugh!’
The feeling of cutting through the water. However, he gritted his teeth and gave strength to his arms. The holy sword advanced through the fierce resistance.
I hit Fonte’s spear like swinging a baseball bat.
—bang!
There was a shock wave. The power of the Holy Sword was truly bloody. Even if it wasn’t an attack with a sword, it was this much.
As if Ponte had been kicked, the recoil sent him flying away.
‘crazy… … .’
Fonte quickly stood up. The corners of his mouth trembled subtly. I swung it really mercilessly, but I was shocked because I didn’t budge and fell out myself.
I’m also surprised, but what about the victim?
It seems like some power adjustment is needed.
Name: Aren Blackfire
Gender: male
Age: 20
Personality: [gloomy] [aristocratic]
Specialty: [Dark Magic] [Black Fire: Spruce] [Descendant of the Sword Saint] [Eye of Mind Lv.2]
Stats: [Strength: 12] [Agility: 9] [Stamina: 10] [Luck: 1]
Power: [55/55]
With the holy sword’s insane specs added to my stats that went up during vacation, it seems that I can withstand without a shadow even against Ponte.
no… … With only the holy sword, he can overwhelm Ponte by force. Even before it’s been dealt with properly.
I didn’t waste time during vacation. Confidence soars.
“You, what the hell… … !”
Fonte clenched his molars.
The class flowed like a turn-based game.
After one attack, you need to pause and get some feedback.
The instructors have already begun to point out the shortcomings of the cadets.
On the Zeroth side, the atmosphere was bloody.
“How did a cadet get into class A with such skills? Instructor Gilliott. Curious about the allocation criteria?”
The arrows of criticism went back to Gilliot. That kind of attitude would only make the cadet more uncomfortable.
“Cadet, please stay after class. I can’t even keep my eyes open. Did you come to the academy with that kind of determination?”
Every time Zeroth passes by, the cadets get very nervous. It was like an instructor doing a cleaning inspection in the army.
Seeing that, I changed my mind about losing after dealing with Ponte in moderation.
He’s the one who’s been targeting me. You shouldn’t make things that will get caught.
Zeros looks at me. He didn’t say anything, but he gave a blatant gaze. You remember last night.
‘Blackfire.’
I’ll make a number of cases and harass you.
Next it’s my turn to attack. If you don’t want to get caught, you have to feed Ponte an effective hit unconditionally.
Even if it’s a little aggro, it’s better than being tackled by that vicious Zeros.
“Next, we change the number of karate.”
Fonte gritted his teeth and took a stand.
“you. The more I look at it, the weirder it gets. what the hell is that black It was a power that was simply impossible with your skills alone.”
“… … .”
Chute on the phone.
It looks like he has a lot to say, but Zeroth’s class progressed quickly and didn’t give him a chance.
‘Still, Ponte is right.’
I can’t land an effective hit on Ponte with my skills alone.
That’s enough for a defensive turn, but you need more power when attacking.
“start.”
said Zeros.
He opened his eyes and inhaled. Zeros is glaring at me like a snake seeking prey.
“Whoa.”
Power: [40/55]
[Strength: 17][Agility: 14][Stamina: 15]
Each stat increases by 5. The lack of ability can be supplemented with the specifications of the purifier.
And above all, the point of this class is not about winning or losing.
Taat-!

Kicked the ground
What Zeros pays the most attention to is whether or not he makes an obvious attack as he taught.
When dealing with an enemy, there is no law that the straight attack method will always work. You have to turn your thoughts around.
ride it!
I ran into Ponte’s range. Ponte pulled back the spear as I started running.
Stab or cut horizontally?
The options are narrowed down to one of the two. The guy put a self-control.
My choice has already been decided. Without hesitation, I entered his attack range.
The corners of Fonte’s mouth rose slightly.
If it was within his range, he would have thought that he, who had the upper hand in both strength and speed, would win. It is obvious that the moment I dig in here, I will be attacked.
“Suck!”
Booung-
His spear cut through the air. It wasn’t a stab, it was an attack across my waist.
I stopped running with elevated thigh strength. It slips because of inertia. Ponte did not miss that opportunity.
The range of the holy sword did not reach Ponte.
However-
Since my goal wasn’t Ponte from the beginning… … .
–Sugung!
With a prepared movement, I raised the holy sword one tempo ahead.
The window, which seemed quite expensive, was neatly broken in two. Unless it is a rare item, it is nothing more than a millet in front of the holy sword.
Even without sword skills, the specs of the sword itself overwhelmed everything.
got some temp
In the first place, the goal of the class is to think about how to catch a surprise.
A frontal attack couldn’t put a single blow to Ponte. Because I can’t swing the sword that fast with my current holy sword proficiency.
That’s why he aimed for Ponte’s weapon.
If you think of it as a real battle, neutralizing your opponent’s weapons is one of the secrets to victory.
Shhhh, Chang!
Fonte’s spear, which had been severed, somersaulted in mid-air and landed on the floor.
“… … .”
Fonte’s thin eyes widened slightly.
I saw Zeros.
blowing a rotten smile What does it mean?
Another turn is over and the instructors attach to the cadets.
Zeroth’s target this time was, of course, me.
he came striding
The fact that he is twisting his mouth seems to have properly prepared his vicious remarks.
“You roll your hair well.”
What kind of bullsh*t are you trying to catch up with nonsense… … I was curious, but he went away to the other cadets, leaving only short words.
It was such a brief moment that I was blown away.
To think that picky and ferocious guy just walked away without catching a single pod.
It meant that my attack just met his standards perfectly.
In fact, what he said was close to a high praise, ‘You play games together.’
He overcame the crisis well against Zeroth.
but… … .
The poisoned Ponte was still there. As a weapon nerd, he brought several spears, and this time he appeared in front of me with a rare item.
It’s a rare item that Ponte uses in the early stages, but it’s probably able to withstand the holy sword.
“Change the karate. Everyone seems to have forgotten about the chicken head, but I’ll say it again. catch your opponent off guard Whether it’s sand or weapons! Either break… … Anything is good. Demons are not honest.”
After speaking, Zeros’ eyes met. He met my eyes for a moment and said ‘Huh.’ turned around with a face
“Cain Abella. you guide me come out.”
Needing someone to vent his anger on, Zeros summoned Cain again.
* * *
The enraged Fonte was frightened.
When I gritted my teeth and opened my eyes, it was like a follicle. The way he fiercely fights with enemies is like a foal, which is the nickname given to him by users.
However, I mobilized all my shadows and holy swords to block Ponte’s ferocious attacks, and I managed to feed the occasional attack by rolling my head.
Fonte’s honest attack didn’t fit well with Zeroth’s class policy.
Maybe that’s why Ponte had a hard time with me throughout class.
If you stop being stubborn, you’ll evolve and become even more of a monster.
Anyway, I was diligently sparring without losing to Ponte.
‘It’s about time.’
Looking at the time, the end of class is approaching.
when an incident occurs
Too-wook-!
I still hear a dull sound… … .
“madam! I really want to see you, so I wonder if it’s too much!”
Ackerman’s exasperated voice echoed through the gym.
The cadets, who were concentrating on the Dalian, looked in the direction of the sound, wondering what was going on. The same was true of Gilead and the other instructors who were mainly in Class B.
Also.
Cain collapsed on the floor, shaking, holding his left forearm, with Ackerman wrapped around her.
Abuse under the guise of education, venting anger, and expressing inferiority toward the Abella family.
Zeroth’s sword pointed at Ackerman.
“Get out of the way. Who gave you permission to intervene in my guidance?”
A friend is being treated unfairly.
It wasn’t just Acker who would stand still. He is the main character that I would have endured throughout the class.
“Is the answer an instructor!? Can I make a student like this!”
Ackerman gripped his sword as if he were going to fight Zeroth.
It was the beginning of the second act.
