The two stood facing each other, holding swords.
The male student raised his sword with a dignified force with a smile on his lips.
Lygon also stood with his sword hanging down, thinking that it would be better to have the minimum courtesy, and raised his sword.
“Start Dalian.”
At the same time as the professor’s words fell, the male student rushed towards Rigon with great force.
He was thinking that he would like to hang out with Rigon even if he didn’t.
If you defeat him in front of all the other students, your prestige in the class will rise rapidly.
‘Don’t let me fall on the floor unsightly!’
It was the moment when the distance between the two of them got closer to the range where the swords would collide.
Kaang!
The boy screamed in pain as if his hands were being ripped apart for a moment.
Whatever happened, the sword that had been lost from his hand was flying through the air.
After taking his sword, Rigon scratched his head and looked at the boy with a puzzled expression on his face.
‘Are you too old?’
I had to control my strength, but I thought I would just block it and point the sword at my neck.
Whatever it was, the fight was over. It was only one sum.
There was nothing more fatal than a swordsman losing his sword during battle.
“It’s over. This is bland.”
While all the students were surprised, Professor Gaon opened his mouth with a smile mixed with laughter.
The boy, who had come to his senses, stuttered and said.
“Kyo, Professor. I was just being too careless…”
“Careful? I must have thought it was a life-threatening battle and told you to fight. Are you saying that now you can’t even show your skills like a tall head, and your neck is blown out of work?”
She looked at her with pitiful eyes.
“It’s too short to say anything, so just go in, you poor bastard. It’s your mindset that matters.”
Professor Gaon turned to Lee Gon.
“What’s your name?”
“This is Lygon.”
“Yeah, Rigon. You were great. Even in that one move, you were faithful to all the basics. Enter.”
For the first time, a compliment instead of a swear word.
Lee Gon just felt that way and went back to his seat, and the male student also returned to his seat with a sad expression on his face.
“Next time… you, come out.”
The next student that Professor Gaon pointed out was Bayon Lexio.
Bayon walked out of the center of the training ground. Among the swords, he picked and held a sword that was close to the great sword.
Then, the male student who was chosen as his opponent faced him with a very nervous look.
Quang!
As soon as the match started, Bayon swung his sword at an unmatched speed.
The other student hurriedly raised a sword and defended it, but it floated in the air with a roar and rolled to the floor without a hitch.
Like Lygon, the battle ended in just one match.
The students opened their mouths wide at Bayon’s tremendous power and looked at the scene.
“············”.
After taking the sword, Bayon turned and looked at Rigon.
Lygon also met his eyes blindly. I wondered why he was suddenly looking at me.
***
Prof. Loquel, walking down the hallway, looked a little tired when he saw a woman walking in the opposite direction.
Professor Gaon greeted him with an acquaintance.
“Aren’t you Professor Loquel? You’re on your way home after class?”
“Yes.”
“I was just about to go home, too, how was your class?”
Before Loquel could answer, she spoke right away.
“Hey, I was surprised. Did you know that there are students from Calderik in the Swordsmanship Faculty?”
“I know.”
“My name is Lygon, and she was a student in the class I just took. It was amazing. It was already on par with the official article.”
“Right.”
Professor Locale thought it was a bit surprising.
When Professor Gaon, who has stricter standards than himself, praised him like that, it meant he was truly a talented person. Even so, I wasn’t particularly curious about the swordsmanship student.
“More than that, there’s not one kid in your class who’s famous for being a genius? Was it Leah Heriwin?”
“Turn off the attention of other students.”
“Haha, it’s just that I’m already looking forward to the next exchange class. You’re harsh.”
Professor Gaon laughed out loud.
“More than that, I want to tell you something about the semester exam, how about lunch together?”
“I’m sorry, but I’ve been busy. We’ll talk later.”
“Ah, don’t do that…”
After shaking off Professor Gaon’s relentless clinging, Professor Loquel returned to his office.
He sat down, sorting out the papers, and leaning back in his chair.
And I thought for a moment. About the students who made an impression in the previous interpersonal combat class.
Leah Heriwin. The famous genius of the Heriwin family.
What I saw in class today was just as rumored.
Even in a short battle, Professor Loquel was able to fully get a glimpse of her current level and outrageous genius.
At the age of only fifteen, if he grew that much, he wondered if he would be able to surpass even the professors of Elphon before turning 30 at the latest.
‘and······.’
Two students who are believed to have been admitted on the direct recommendation of the principal.
Kane and Lan.
Originally, he was a professor of Locale who had no interest in the backgrounds of his students.
But I was a little curious about them both.
This is because the hero’s colleague, the current principal, Nainberg, has never recommended and admitted students by his own authority since taking office.
There was definitely something unique about it as much as I was curious.
In terms of both the well-trained body and the atmosphere, both of them felt closer to the unmanned side than the wizard.
The only difference was that a child named Ka-Ann had talents in magic, and Ran did not.
In the eyes of Locale, Kaan was also a genius. There were some shortcomings, but if he learned well in the future, he would become a wizard as good as Leia in the future.
However, he did not understand why a child named Lan left the School of Swordsmanship and entered the Faculty of Magic.
Prof. Loquel continued to mourn, then began to organize the paperwork again.
One thing is clear, this first year has more interesting students than last year.
Lessons and adaptation (3)
About a week has passed since I entered Elphon.
In the meantime, I have become very close to my heir, Car-Ann.
The four of us always ate together, including Rigon and Escar, and it was only a matter of time before we got to know each other because of the nature of the successor, as we deliberately met each other and tried to get along as much as possible.
Even Esca, who was a little uncomfortable with Rigon at first, seemed to have quickly erased his prejudice when he found out about Rigon.
“············”.
After waking up, I habitually checked the presence of Kane in the room.
As if they were still asleep, only the sound of the two of them breathing could be heard.
After checking the time, I got up from bed and prepared to shower.
Elphon had a week cycle, with six school days and one day off. And today was a holiday.
So there was no need to move diligently from early in the morning, but it was a story that did not apply to me.
Because I always went to bed later than Caran and woke up early to take care of her every move.
There was no doubt that something dangerous had to happen inside the academy, but that was not the case.
At my presence, Rigon woke up immediately and stretched out.
“············Lan, what are you going to do today since it’s a holiday?”
“Well.”
Of course, that depended on what Karen was going to do.
And I already knew what she was going to do today.
Because I listened to everything I had to say with Esca last night.
‘I said I was going out.’
During the holidays, students were free to act freely. You can play or learn independently.
And it was also possible to go out of the academy.
Caan was supposed to go out with Esca today and look around the city.
It wasn’t bad for me either. On the contrary, I had very little expectations.
My ultimate goal was to make sure that Ka-Ann satisfies the conditions for the holy sword, and I didn’t know if anything could happen if I went out.
When it was time to eat, Rigon and I left the dormitory.
At the restaurant, I met Car-Ann and Esca and had breakfast together.
“So, I’m going to practice magic at the training ground with Esca and then go out. How about you guys?”
It was Caran who put a lot of food in her mouth and spoke with a look of excitement.
Before I could answer, Lygon agreed first.
“I was about to go out anyway. I went straight to the academy and couldn’t even see the city properly.”
“Okay? It’s fine. We can look around together today.”
“Did you say that you are allowed to go out from 10 am? Are you going too, Lan?”
“Sure.”
I nodded.
***
After dinner, we trained together at the training ground as scheduled.
Rigon trained swordsmanship, and the three of us, including myself, practiced magic.
I looked at Escar who was sweating and concentrating on the magic unfolding.
“So, should I say that it feels like melting the magic in my head into magic? Oh, it’s hard to describe in words.”
Caran was standing next to him, struggling to explain her tricks.
Of course, it didn’t seem like it would be of much help, as it was a very personal area.
In my opinion, Escar had no talent for magic than me.
It was just enough to unleash magic, barely a pull-up level for a wizard.
The reason Ka-Ann was going to train with Escar today was probably because of her last interpersonal combat class. To help Escar rather than his own growth.
However, although Professor Locale’s words were a bit harsh, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.
“Huh…”
Escar, who had quickly exhausted all his magical powers, slumped to the floor.
She said with an embarrassed smile.
“It’s difficult, too. I don’t think I’m very good at magic.”
“Hey, where’s that? If you practice more, you’ll definitely get better.”
Meanwhile, Rigon, who was wielding a sword alone from one side, approached us.
“Would you like to take a break and then go soon?”
“OK.”
Rigon glanced at Car-Ann and asked suddenly.
“But Ka-Ann, did you also learn martial arts like Lan?”
“Uh, right. How did you know?”
“That’s because it looks like a body that has been trained from the beginning. Calluses on the hands as well.”
As I listened to the conversation, I suddenly became curious as to who would win if two people battled with swords.
Although the level was a little higher with Regon, the difference in level at level 30 was not big enough to be able to determine victory or defeat before even fighting.
Of course, I couldn’t suddenly ask the two of them to fight, so I was just curious.
The allowed time to go out on holidays was from 10 am to 6 pm.
We made an outing list. After hearing the warning from the person in charge that it would be a penalty point if you didn’t check it by returning within time, you went straight out of the academy.
There were many students who went out in the morning as well as us, so it was not common to see them on the street. It’s a precious time to go out once a week, only for 8 hours.
“Are there any places you’re thinking of going?”
“No? I’m just looking around wherever I go, huh?”
Since Rapid City is a large city, there are many things to see and do even if you just walk along the boulevard.
We watched a play in the plaza and naturally moved to the market street.
Looking at the foods displayed in the stalls, Ka-Ann’s eyes twinkled.
“That looks so delicious. Do you know what that is, Escar?”
“Um, it’s like thinly sliced potatoes and fried in oil…?”
Caan and Escar bought those fries biscuits, and Rigon bought some stuffed chicken skewers, stuffed with seasonings.
I bought a bottle full of caramel in moderation and gave it to my kids.
So, we bought some snacks and shared some snacks and walked along the repaired streets.
“···········?”
It was then that a familiar face appeared in the distance.
A middle-aged man standing in front of a fruit stand and looking at the fruits.
For a moment I thought I was wrong, but I wasn’t.
‘······What is that, that?’
Why is that person here?
Haven’t you heard anything from the warrior?
The distance grew closer, and Kaan, who had also found the man, gave a rare bewildered expression.
“uh?”
“what’s the matter?”
“No… huh? Wait a minute.”
The man soon turned his head towards us.
Seeing Ka-Ann, he waved his hand as if pleased.
