Wipe Out the Academy With a Wooden Sword

20. Adaptation to the Academy

Two weeks have passed since I entered Iroas Academy.

My daily routine is now somewhat organized.

I entered the training ground wearing sportswear. Liu Jia, who was brandishing her wooden sword, grinned.

“Hello.”

“Oh, hello. You’re here early.”

Early in the morning, standing side by side with Liu Jia, brandishing her wooden sword.

She occasionally sparred with a wooden sword.

And sometimes Baek Hwa-yeon, who was in the seat in front of me, had her hair flipped backwards.

To the point where you can see the top of your head very well.

I wonder if it’s a relief that the smell didn’t come from her hair.

Hook!

At times like that, I patted Baek Hwa-yeon on the shoulder.

“Wake up.”

“Oooh… I hate theory. I hate it!”

How can a child become so tasty after only taking theory classes?

It was just amazing.

Practical classes three times a week.

Her instructor in charge of swordplay, Yu Seol-ah, did not directly teach me how to use her sword.

The swordsman, who still called me to her private villa, sat me down in a chair in her analysis room.

“I really hate being arrogant. Cadet Lee Do-jin.”

Yoo Seol-ah smiled and played the unknown video of her on the screen.

That video was none other than a video of Baek Hwa-yeon and me fighting.

“No matter how you look at it. Cadet Lee Do-jin’s swordsmanship seems to be superior to the plum swordsmanship. The movements that permeate Cadet Lee Do-jin’s body movements aren’t something that can only come out after 5 or 6 years of training.”

It seems that training while dying over a thousand times has had quite a big impact.

“You seem to have already learned the sword from a much better teacher than me. I think it would be good to help with the practical part.”

After that, Seolah Yoo took me to her mock training ground inside the underground training center.

“What? Where is it?”

“This is a simulated combat training ground. We are equipped with a special device that can reproduce various monsters.”

Yu Seol-ah continued her explanation.

“You are dealing with a virtual monster. The principle is the same as the virtual mock raid that Cadet Lee Do-jin has already experienced. Except for the downside of not being able to summon more than 12 monsters at the same time.”

“… How much does it cost to install something like this?”

Yoo Seol-ah smiled.

“8 Billion. That much if you update the monsters and pay for maintenance?”

It looks like I opened my mouth wide without realizing it.

Yoo Seol-ah started laughing.

“Ah, what? Even during summer vacation, Cadet Lee Do-jin will be able to earn that much if he officially registers for a hunter license and goes to dungeons.”

“I don’t think it will be soon.”

“Then, shall we catch a lot of monsters?”

She nodded and entered the mock training ground.

***

Sweet!

Monsters began to appear in front of Dojin Lee.

The birth was unnatural, as if the pieces of the hologram system were coming up densely, but the shape of the finished monster was vivid and no different from reality.

Gray skin, yellow eyes. It was a goblin, a monster with a sharp nose and ears.

-I’ll gradually increase the difficulty. You’ll need time to adapt.

What Yu Seol-ah said while holding her microphone reached Lee Do-jin on the other side of the thick screen.

No matter how good the performance was, it seemed that even the sound produced by the mouth could not be reproduced.

The goblin stared at Lee Do-jin quietly, like a calm hunter.

The moment the goblin kicked the ground.

She swung her wooden sword. She slashed down with the idea of a very basic slash down.

Damn it!

A ray of light fell vertically towards the goblin.

And the goblins evaporated without a trace.

“Master, isn’t this an error?”

Baek Hwa-yeon stared at Lee Do-jin on the screen with a dumbfounded expression.

“Hmm, well. This simulated combat device reproduces the average physical strength of each monster. That means Cadet Lee Do-jin’s blow is perfect.”

After answering her student’s question, Seolah Yoo brought her mouth in front of her microphone again.

-I will continue. In order of monster difficulty.

Lee Do-jin nodded his head.

Kwajik!

And then, Dojin Lee, who destroyed even the next orc that appeared in a single blow, organized his thoughts.

In order to understand and apply the attack patterns of each monster, I had to relax my sword skills appropriately.

(Lizardman/Monster Grade: B~A)

The third monster that appeared was the Lizardman.

He had a muscular body with a face that was half a lizard and a crocodile.

The leather that made up the whole body looked hard like armor.

In his hand was a trident with a faint silvery glow.

Unlike goblins and orcs, lizardmen did not immediately attack. He lowered his upper body and slowly circled around Lee Do-jin while stepping on his own steps.

‘It is said that lizardmen have a high probability of moving in groups.’

A few days ago, this was the information I heard during the Class.

And the characteristics of monsters are reflected in dungeons and gates.

‘Certainly, it would be quite tiring to see five or ten of these prudent ones in groups.’

By the time Lee Do-jin’s thoughts about the Lizardman were organized in his head, the Lizardman kicked the ground. However, the Lizardmen were farther away than Lee Do-jin expected.

‘The arms are long.’

The attack reach was quite long. Not only were his arms long, but their elasticity and contraction seemed to be on the free side. He couldn’t easily predict the range of attack.

Let’s avoid the rushing trident with quick footwork, the lizardman retrieved the spear and immediately launched another attack.

Wedge love liquid!

It was literally speedy.

A cool sensation rose.

There is no such thing as systematic spearmanship. However, it was clear that the superiority of the species alone would devour any spearmanship. Having an advantage in distance and speed was no different from dominating the battle.

Lee Do-jin raised the reverse heaven new skill.

The body becomes lighter. It is possible to release the qi to the outside through the medium of a wooden sword, but there was no problem in handling the qi from the inside of the body.

Three flashes.

I quickly moved my feet to evade the three sharp trajectories.

In Lizardman’s eyes, five or six afterimages of Lee Do-jin continued like flowing water.

The distance suddenly narrowed. Lee Do-jin thrust his sword horizontally without hesitation.

Sweep!

With a crack in the space, Lizardman’s right arm flew through the air while clutching a trident.

Even so, Lizardmen did not die gracefully.

Whoop!

It was none other than the lizardman’s tail that was sharp like the trident he was holding.

Lee Do-jin grinned. It is said that it is not a real, but a virtual creature, but I heard a lot of admiration for the characteristics of the Lizardman race that did not give up until the end.

So, with a grain of sincerity, I cut it in half and killed it.

“…I’m going to practice. Master.”

Baek Hwa-yeon, who closely watched the battle between the two, narrowed her eyes and said with a firm face.

He was so different from the one he had a mock battle with the Lizard Man a week ago.

Even I must have suppressed my strength.

Unlike Lee Do-jin, who never allowed Lizardman’s effective hits. A week ago, he could not adapt to Lizardman’s long reach until the beginning of the battle, so he allowed 7 effective hits.

Her teacher, Swordswoman Seolah Yoo, noticed her disciple’s slight frustration.

What flowed out of her mouth was a soft tone.

“Cadet Lee Do-jin is more of a genius than a genius. Hwa-yeon is not weak.”

Baek Hwa-yeon smiled lightly at Yoo Seol-ah’s words.

“I know. That’s why I need to practice more.”

Baek Hwa-yeon’s right hand fist was clenched as she turned her body.

‘I wanted to see the same scenery as Do-jin.’

I wanted the landscape of looking at the world as a prosecutor to be the same.

But she already realized that she was looking at a very different landscape. Plum blossoms that have not yet bloomed must fully bloom.

Baek Hwa-yeon whipped herself and picked up her sword again.

***

On Friday evenings, I got a text message from student council vice president Yeon Si-moon.

-Bob?

This is already the second time.

– Yes.

I sent

, And the response form was the same as last week.

-Sundae, pork, rice soup.

And at the bottom, a map of the restaurant was attached.

Last week’s answer was cream, tomato, and pasta.

Anyway, this nobleman is also very special.

Yeon Si-moon focused on food today as well.

I rolled the rice over the pork soup without hesitation, and then I just ate it without saying a word.

“Whoa… Whoa.”

Except when it’s hot, sometimes I purse my lips to blow air to cool off.

The way he prepared the soup neatly without leaving even a single grain of rice did not go well with the aristocratic yet sharp atmosphere.

I ate all the rice, but left some soup. Yeon Si-mun stared at my leftover rice soup with golden eyes.

“…I’m disappointed.”

“Yes?”

I didn’t know what to say because I was really disappointed. Are you disappointed with the leftover soup? Is this why the student council juniors respect you but don’t eat together?

Yeon Si-mun took out a tissue and cleaned the area around his mouth, then looked at me again.

“There will be a special first year exam in about two weeks. Using a mock dungeon.”

“A special test?”

“Yes, two of the upper class and two of the lower class will form a group. Of course, the instructor in charge will form the group.”

“Then I will be in a group with one of my class and two from class 10.”

Class 10 was a place where students who were evaluated as having the lowest grades and skills among the 10 combat classes gathered.

Of course, that doesn’t mean they’re far from being irredeemable criminals. In the first place, if you want to belong to the fighting class, you have to know how to handle mana.

“Why did you tell me?”

Yeon Si-mun spoke steadily as if it was not a big deal.

“Just because I found out. And there will be a notice on Monday anyway. There’s such a thing, so you should know.”

I bowed my head. I only found out two days earlier, but thanks to that, I was able to make up my mind to deal with the things I had put off one by one from the weekend.

“Thank you.”

Yeon Si-mun grinned.

“Thank you, come to the club room after the special exam. Let’s fight.”

It was a martial arts club.

I smiled at him.

“Okay. I’ll definitely go.”

I broke up with senior Yeon Si-moon and returned to the dormitory, organizing what I had to do over the weekend in a notebook.
