Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 111

111 – Yeongsan (5)

A month has passed. In terms of days, it is 30 days.

It was a long time.

There is still quite a bit of time left before the experiential learning that started at Tsumei’s request is completed.

Even so, it was enough time to check the growth potential of one person.

And Geomseong came to a conclusion.

Dante has no talent for the sword.

‘It’s not to the point where it’s unheard of, but isn’t it good enough to be falsely said to be excellent?’

I satisfied the minimum conditions for learning Yeonhwageomgyeol, but in other words, that’s the end. It was too much for her to expect more from Dante.

It is absurd to compare Ariana with her other students.

‘…… But, it’s really amazing.’

However, there was something that could be considered unusual.

Geomseong narrowed his eyes.

More than a month has passed. In the meantime, Dante was given opportunities for not only physical training, but also training and training in other directions.

To repeat, Dante had no talent with the sword.

The same goes for physical talent.

Because I didn’t have great muscles to begin with.

However, the reason why Geomseong did not give up on keeping an eye on Dante was not different.

Although he clearly had no talent for the sword.

In a way, this is because there was one great quality that could make up for the gap in talent.

From noble mtl dot com

“…… f*ck, people, they die… ….”

‘Hmm.’

I clenched my teeth and continued to follow the same training steps as yesterday, even though I was screaming like I was dying.

That was Dante’s only talent.

No matter how much I forcibly took pills to replenish my physical strength, the intensity of the training that continued persistently was not something I could withstand.

At first, I assumed that Geomseong would also become weaker over time.

‘But it wasn’t.’

It was a wrong idea.

Dante was full of unique aspects in many ways.

In a good way, it could be said to have deep patience.

To put it in a bad way, I have a bad head.

It is a belated confession of the truth, but at first, the Sword Saint had no intention of pushing Dante into the hell of physical training to this extent.

The limit will inevitably come, so I planned to slowly move on to the next step when that time comes.

Is it about a week ago?

Geomseong had no choice but to think.

‘Why doesn’t the limit come…… ?’

At that time, I was truly, so to speak, quite genuinely embarrassed. It’s definitely at the point where I have to collapse and crawl on the ground, saying I can’t do it anymore.

I’m sure it would be so.

Dante did not do that.

I just carried on quietly.

Geomseong had to feel a little bit of remorse.

To be honest, I was sorry.

‘I didn’t mean to do it like this.’

Should I say that I am fortunate that I was able to establish a more proper direction for education?

It would probably be okay for Dante to have no talent with the sword.

If you have that kind of temperament, swordsmanship can be solved by just forcing yourself to hit it.

From what I have seen so far, Dante will definitely accept everything that is forced upon him.

As much as he lacks talent, he suffers physically.

I’m sure you’ll cry…….

‘That’s none of my business.’

Such a problem was not a factor worth considering at all for the Sword Saint.

Geomseong smiled slightly.

‘What a fascinating guy.’

Yes, he was a really amazing guy.

It was also fun to teach.

‘It’s foolish, but not bad.’

In other words, it is the quality of patience.

Geomseong knew.

That is not something that can be created later. It is an ability that only those who are born with can have, and in a different way, it is a blessed ability.

This is not an ability limited to swordsmanship, and it cannot be said to be of direct help.

Even if you have natural patience, the ultimate meaning of the sword is the realm of talent. If you don’t have it, you can’t reach it.

It could be said to be a truly simple principle.

‘But it doesn’t matter to that guy.’

But if you think about it another way, isn’t it true that the Sword Saint had Dante start training to become a sword-type swordsman in the first place?

What Geomseong wanted was not that big of a deal.

It was something I had never shared with Dante. Of course, I had no intention of saying it now.

However, that idea has only become more solid now.

The Sword Saint’s eyes sank slightly but heavily.

What he comes to mind is nothing else.

This is the scene of the incident that occurred at the academy a month ago.

It was only a short moment, but Geomseong saw Dante’s power.

If I were to express it directly without any need to elaborate.

It could be said to be a truly alien force.

‘Anyway, it wasn’t a normal ability.’

I know that this ability is generally a feeling of power. Even the girl from the East currently staying in the castle is carrying the burden of losing her eyesight.

But even taking that into account, Dante’s power was even more strange.

Should I say that the Sword Master has a particularly bad temperament among the people with special abilities that I have met so far?

‘…… ‘The more you use it, the more it places a burden on the user’s body.’

Geomseong closed his eyes.

‘Even when I think about it again, it is an unpleasant force.’

First of all, it was not an ability that was easy to understand due to the way of thinking that Swordsman had developed over decades. It was even more impossible to understand.

The power that destroys the body cannot last long in the first place.

That was Geomseong’s thoughts and theory.

He was confident in his own way.

If Dante continues to live with his special ability, there is a high probability that he will end up in a very bad situation someday.

…… But.

‘Even if I told him not to use it, he wouldn’t listen to me.’

Geomseong just sighed and laughed.

Now that we know Dante’s personality to some extent.

At the same time, he remembered. A story about Dante that he could occasionally hear from his own granddaughter, Arya.

From what I heard, it is said that Dante’s power did not originally feel like that.

I remember originally that there was no burden on the body, but at that time, Dante’s strength became stronger.

And the result is fainting.

Perhaps, if you overuse your abilities, wouldn’t your body get damaged at that moment?

It feels like the sword Dante carries relieves some of the burden on his body…….

‘There will definitely be a limit. ‘No sword can be all-purpose.’

Geomseong opened his closed eyes. And then I look at Dante again.

Aria is.

He spoke several times as if he was quite worried about that guy.

Geomseong clicked his tongue briefly inwardly.

‘I still don’t like you as Aria’s opponent, but… ….’

Once again, there should be no man anywhere on this continent who could be Aria’s opponent.

Nevertheless, even so.

I did not forget my debt to Dante.

How could I forget?

With Dante’s help, Aria was able to stay safe. In addition, she was not deeply frustrated and had a hard time, but eventually overcame her ordeal.

Needless to say, it was more valuable help than anything else in the world.

So, from the point of view of the Sword Saint, it is impossible not to care.

Even if he is nominal, he is also a guy who became a disciple for a short time.

Even after I left Yeongsan, I wanted to find out how to ease the burden on my body.

And speaking of that method, of the method that the swordsman can use, there is only one method.

‘Sword.’

Geomseong thought.

“…… Dante.”

For the first time, I properly called the name of the boy who became my disciple, albeit only for a limited time.

“Again, what is it…?” ….”

Going in front of his student, who was lying down and almost exhausted, Geomsung half-forced the boy to stand up.

“Hundreds of millions.”

“Follow me.”

The Sword Saint spoke, and Dante looked at him blankly with an expression tinged with fatigue.

“…… “Young man?”

And he was slightly surprised.

Dante’s eyes opened quite wide.

At that moment, Sword Saint had a gentle smile that I had never seen before.

“Now it’s time to learn a more proper sword.”

Geomsung turned around, raising the corners of his mouth.

The destination is outside the fortress.

So, deep into the area where the mountain fog spreads.

*****

Thunderstorm is the most powerful force of all.

That’s for sure.

It is the most powerful ability I have, and at the same time, it is also the only ability I have.

So, it was natural for me to fight mainly with special abilities.

However, whether there was progress in that area or not was another issue.

This is an issue that I have no choice but to think about seriously.

‘Can my strength become better than it is now?’

The limit of output I can produce when using my special ability with the help of Flügel is at most 40%.

And the method of increasing that limit has been mentioned once before.

‘…… ‘Strengthening of the body.’

In fact, if it was natural, it was also natural.

Just because it’s a supernatural ability doesn’t mean it’s not related to the body.

Even if it is an ability that is used based on mental power, it is ultimately the body that becomes the vessel. In other words, physical ability naturally serves as an important condition.

For example, something like that.

If, by chance, I reach the level of a sword master and my body becomes so strong that it cannot be strengthened any further. At that time, I will be able to really use this ability to my heart’s content.

Literally, without borrowing the power of Flügel either.

However, wouldn’t that be a somewhat vain possibility?

In fact, it was as if there was no reality.

‘…… Well, even so, my current physical condition is only slightly better than that of the average person, so I may need to change it a bit.’

Anyway, what I want to say is that strengthening the body is so important.

Even if you can’t reach Sword Master level, wouldn’t it be possible to be at least two or three levels lower?

I can borrow the power of Flügel, but if my physical ability increases, the total amount of power I can produce will definitely increase.

In a way, it was a natural step to train the body.

‘Actually, it would be negligence if I tried not to think about it until now.’

Suddenly thinking about that, I cleared my throat awkwardly.

Of course, if I had to make an excuse, there was nothing I couldn’t do.

Well, isn’t it possible to improve one’s physical abilities with just a day or two of effort?

The reality is that less than half a year has passed since I fell into this world.

Even if I had been training my body steadily during that time, there would probably not have been any noticeable growth.

I can’t even dream of becoming a Sword Master.

‘…… So to speak, now is the chance.’

Now the story is different.

Because this is Yeongsan.

A place I didn’t think I’d be able to come to anytime soon, Yeongsan wasn’t called a sacred place for training in the first place for nothing.

I too will be able to significantly reduce the time I spend building my body here.

So, if you really think about it, the Sword Saint’s suggestion was something I was quite thankful for.

It is not unusual for me to bow first and ask for something.

In addition to efficient physical training, it is truly the icing on the cake if you also learn the art of Yeonhwa Sword from a sword saint.

With Thunder Lightning, Flügel, and even good swordsmanship, I will definitely be able to achieve a more stable level than now.

…… Yes, it is ultimately training for that purpose.

“Ha… ….”

Now that I am now, honestly, it was impossible not to sigh at all. Should I say it is that kind of situation?

Shut up!

I swung the flugel and cut down another monster in front of me, cutting off its inner dan very naturally.

Then mechanically put it into a leather bag.

“…… “About twenty-five.”

[Maybe twenty-four? Maybe.]

“Oh, yes.”

I ignored Flügel’s natural voice and started looking around again.

If you say it is a movement to find another monster, it would be roughly correct.

The Sword Master’s instructions were to ‘hunt as many monsters as possible with a sword that barely uses any special abilities.’

I said I could use this ability at any time if it got dangerous, but…….

Still, I heard that, so how can I use this ability as I want? It wasn’t uncommon for errors to occur.

After all this has happened, do you really want to fight without a special ability?

‘…… ‘I almost died two days ago because of that thought.’

Well, anyway. That’s because I had the misfortune of meeting a rather strong guy.

On the contrary, if you only look at the results, it was a pretty good experience.

Youngsan, especially inside the Geomseong Fortress, is said to have a space where time passes slowly.

I was a little touched that they opened that place to me for training.

…… Actually, when I think about it, I think it might just be to make me more effective. Even if it was reasonable suspicion, there was nothing that could be done.

Anyway, it is true that it is helpful.

You look like a damn old man.

[Oh! There is another one over there.]

“…… “I was just about to take a break.”

[We Dante can do it~]

Flügel playfully cheered me on, and I had no choice but to sigh and approach the monster.

Anyway, it’s thanks to her that I can catch even a weak monster with my poor skills.

In fact, without Flügel’s power, no matter how much she grew, it would have been quite impossible for her to catch the spiritual mountain’s monster.

‘No, but should I think it’s amazing that we’ve somehow reached a level where we can catch it?’

Even with random thoughts in my mind, I got as close to the monster as possible.

I very carefully hid behind a tree.

…… Although he spoke well, it was still difficult to catch the monster in a head-on fight. Although it’s a bit embarrassing to say it with confidence.

‘Phew.’

After taking a short breath, I carefully held on to the sword. This time with both hands.

Yeonhwageomgyeol (蓮火劍訣).

The third second type (第三招式).

‘Ten thousand flashes.’

Strike the sword down as soon as you are ready.

The blade is filled with pure white sword energy.

And that was definitely not the power of thunder that I had used so far.

…… Although he wasn’t an Auror in particular.

Quaaa!!

Anyway, the Flügel drawn from top to bottom exploded all over the front, showing off its power like a great sword.

Tearing down tall trees and tearing up the ground. Finally, it reaches the monster.

The monster seemed to have belatedly noticed the presence of the attack and sharpened the thorns on its entire body, but-.

It’s no use. It’s already late.

My sword is faster.

Suddenly!!!

A short but powerful cutting sound struck my ears.

The monster’s body quickly collapsed.

“…… After.”

I exhaled briefly.

Like this, I caught another one.

I am not yet familiar with the Lotus Sword, but given the preparation time, it has become a technique that can be used in practice.

At least it’s the easiest to use, but whatever.

Good luck-

He takes out the inner bundle of the monster that was lying helpless and dead and puts it into the leather pouch.

At that point, I slowly lifted my head and looked at the sky.

“It got pretty dark.”

[Okay, shall we leave it at that for today?]

“That’s a very good idea.”

From noble mtl dot com

I responded to Flügel’s words with a smile and quickly turned around.

In the first place, you have to leave work as soon as you decide to leave work(?).

Anyway, I was able to have a wonderful and rewarding day today. I guess it’s okay to rest here, right?

Then, after finishing our meal, should we head to the hot springs, which we haven’t even been able to fully enjoy a few times?

“That’s a good idea too.”

I muttered that as I felt the cool night breeze in the mountains.

[Oh, this is shameful!]

It was at that time that Flügel moved significantly within the scabbard.

Her high-pitched voice began to shake me.

[Take me too! Hot springs too! I want to take a dip too!]

It was a sudden complaint, but I was suddenly more concerned about something else than that.

I tilted my head and opened my mouth.

“Is it possible to feel the temperature of a blade?”

[No, what else can’t you feel?]

My words received quite a strong reaction.

I can feel the Flügel huffing and puffing.

I wondered why he suddenly got so angry, but I soon found out why.

[You made my body like this! I still can’t forget that electric shock feeling!]

Ah.

[How can you feel the temperature of a blade? How can you say something so irresponsible! Because of you, my whole body is already an erogenous zone…… !]

“No, what do you mean, Flügel?”

[Evil!]

I quickly hit the handle of the flugel with the blade of my hand. My hands actually hurt, but it was worth it, so I quickly wiped away the cold sweat.

There are things he can say and things he can’t say.

“Okay, okay. “I’ll talk to Riche and ask him to take you, so just calm down.”

[…] … Hmm, you should have done that a long time ago.]

Anyway, I calmed Flügel down like that, and then headed toward the castle at a brisk pace.

Right now, I feel like I want to quickly go back and rest.

‘Hmm.’

However, that thought occurred to me.

It seems like there is not much time left.

‘Well, it’s experiential learning that had a set deadline from the beginning.’

Because there were quite a lot of things I learned under the Sword Master, I felt a bit regretful. Of course, there are still about 10 days left…….

Still, I have to return to the academy when the vacation is over.

Judging from the Sword Saint’s attitude and Aria’s words, there will probably be nothing that cannot be visited during the next vacation.

Aria seemed to want me to stop by Yeongsan even during winter vacation.

‘Well, let’s focus on the now for now. Because it’s urgent to learn Yeonhwageomgyeol right away… ….’

I thought so, and of course, I was still moving until then.

This is because distracting thoughts increase while moving.

So.

It was a little late to notice.

“… ….”

Stop-

I had no choice but to slow down along the way.

Something caught my sense of immaturity.

…… In other words, a most unpleasant presence.

Still, that kind of energy is familiar.

I suddenly turned my head.

[…] ….]

On top of a particularly dark tree, a red bat was sitting calmly on one branch.

I pulled out my sword without hesitation.

Sreung!

[…] … Uh, Dante?]

I was momentarily confused, but that was no reason for not immediately recognizing the bat’s identity.

It didn’t seem like he had any intention of hiding it in the first place.

‘Musical instrument(惡氣).’

For over a month, neither I nor the disciples whom Geomseong had asked to take a close look at the surroundings found anything.

So maybe I was letting my guard down.

Even though such a situation might not have been a worthy prophecy.

“…… “It’s quite late.”

I twisted my mouth and immediately swung my sword.

I didn’t even have time to practice Yeonhwageomgyeol.

“You finally showed up.”

Pajijik, Pajijik!!

It immediately caused a thunderstorm.

Lightning falls on the sword.

“The devil.”

It may just be an illusion, though.

“The devil of devastation.”

At that moment, I had to feel as if the bat had smiled horribly.

Quaaa-
