Mustafa and Eugene maintained a certain distance and kept each other in check while circling around.
‘That attitude of Mustafa… … It’s a ritual swordsmanship.’
Mustafa was holding the posture of ritual swordsmanship, not the posture of Amerin’s swordsmanship. It was a rare appearance unless you deliberately asked to use ritual swordsmanship.
‘okay. There is no need to show Amerian swordsmanship. You’re doing as instructed.’
Even if he uses his own swordsmanship, Mustafa is strong enough, no, excellent. Enough to work as a swordsmanship instructor at a knight academy. It was only a pity that he could not see the fight between Mustafa and Eugene, who put their heart into their swordsmanship.
‘Then what about Eugene?’
I turned my gaze to Eugene. I thought Eugene would have the same swordsman posture as Mustafa, but… … Something was different.
‘… … what?’
It was quite different from the textbook posture I had seen in Saratov, and it was a more sharp posture.
The basis was the posture of the ritual swordsmanship. However, it was a slightly distorted posture, as if the balance of offense and defense was much more biased toward the ball.
‘It’s a posture that’s never been mentioned in the original work.’
It was a swordsmanship that had never been seen before, either with the knowledge of the original work or the knowledge of this world. Eugene’s gap with the original was not just a simple attitude or personality.
What the hell happened in between, the moment I think about it-
“Ha!”
Eugene attacked Mustafa first. It was a herbivorous stabbing ritual swordsmanship.
“… … !”
Mustafa skillfully blocked it. But there was a look of surprise on his face.
Eugene’s herbivore was one step faster than normal ritual swordsmanship. Could it be because of his aggressive attitude? The instantaneous acceleration was different.
“… … Something is different.”
“I sympathize.”
Katyusha noticed the peculiarity of Yujin’s ritual swordsmanship and pushed her upper body forward. I sympathized and adjusted my mana to further strengthen my sight and hearing.
“It’s unique.”
Mustafa deflected Eugene’s attack, which continued in succession, with a word of appreciation. Eugene took advantage of the rebounding momentum to widen the distance from Mustafa in an instant.
As a result, it was a situation where they only attacked without receiving any counterattack.
‘Even if it didn’t give me significant damage, it’s amazing.’
It was a very aggressive hit-and-run tactic, completely different from the suffocating standard of exchanging close and fierce sums used by Eugene in the original work.
It didn’t seem easy to determine the superiority or inferiority of the two, but at this point, there was no clear strategy.
‘Then, how about defense?’
“Then let’s go from this side now.”
Mustafa straightened his wooden sword and took a charge stance. After holding it a little high and controlling my breathing, I approached Eugene in an instant.
“hmm!”
After approaching, Mustafa’s wooden sword started from a low position and drew a trajectory of the full moon cut in a wide circle. It was Mustafa’s specialty.
It was a skill that was difficult to use in real life as much as it was powerful, but Mustafa, who had been trained with Amerin’s swordsmanship, was able to use it without delay.
The skill that blew my sword away in sparring several times,
“… … Kut!”
Eugene, whom he had seen for the first time, endured it. I lost my posture and was pushed back, but I didn’t miss the wooden sword.
“Haaa!!”
Then, after using the Full Moon Cham, he aimed for an opening and fired a counterattack.
“hmm!”
Mustafa blocked it with his sword. A strong wind blew up nearby, and the sound of trees chirping echoed all the way to the rooftop.
“… … Awesome.”
Katyusha was sincerely impressed. I couldn’t take my eyes off Eugene.
‘Even in the original work, Eugene fought on par with Mustafa. but… … .’
I turned my gaze to Mustafa. Mustafa frowned and stared at Eugene.
That was the face he had when seriously engaging in Dalian.
‘Mustafa at that time didn’t take it so seriously.’
In the original sparring, Mustafa did not suffer so much. He blocked Eugene’s sword with the least amount of expression, and then blew away Eugene’s sword with a single blow, showing his strength to all the students and earning Eugene’s respect.
The fight that should have been like that has reached the realm of an infinitely serious game.
‘Even if it’s different from the original, it’s too different.’
I wondered if the current Eugene would be on the same level as the original Eugene after experiencing the first awakening event.
‘What happened in the meantime, Eugene?’
Feeling anxiety and anticipation at the same time, I asked in my heart.
“hahahaha… … . you.”
Eugene let out a rough breath and glared at Mustafa sharply before opening his mouth.
“Have you been to Saratov?”
and asked in a low voice. It was a staggering question.
“… … .”
Mustafa was agitated. Yujin’s eyes narrowed at the agitated movement.
“… … you are not They have different physiques.”
And he muttered like he was talking to himself.
‘I can’t believe I saw the attack a little while ago… … .’
Hearing those words, I belatedly grasped Eugene’s true intentions.
‘Did you figure out that he uses the same swordsmanship as me, Eugene?’
It was a shocking fact.
Of course, the current Mustafa was using ritual swordsmanship. However, the Amerin’s swordsmanship habits and characteristics were imbued with that sword.
Even the previous Full Moon Cham was not something that could be used by a master of general ritual swordsmanship. It was a new form that only those who had trained in Amerin swordsmanship could do, the ‘full moon cham dog’.
Just by looking at that, Eugene figured out that I was using the same swordsmanship as the hooded man who fought at dawn in Saratov.
‘… … It’s not just swordsmanship that has grown.’
It’s a horrifying insight.
To the point where a slight sense of crisis is mixed with the pure surprise so far.
“To the professor.”
Mustafa, who had been silent, took a big step and raised his wooden sword high. Eugene instinctively raised his wooden sword and took a defensive stance.
“Say respectful words!”
Eugene’s wooden sword was struck with Mustafa’s specialty, a heavy, vertical downward slash.
baek!
broke into two halves. And stopped right in front of Eugene’s forehead.
“… … .”
“… … .”
As everyone kept their mouths shut and focused, Mustafa drew back his sword and bowed his head slightly as a sign of respect. Eugene also lowered his head in response and picked up the broken wooden sword.
The students started clapping silently. It was like the audience after an opera.
“It is a great skill. It is understandable that Mikhail-sama was paying attention.”
“yes. It was more than I could have imagined, so I was a bit surprised.”
I agreed with a wry smile at Katyusha’s admiration.
Mustafa’s victory a moment ago was not pure swordsmanship. If it was a real sword, Yujin’s defense would have been successful and sparring would have continued.
It was an irregular finish that was only possible because it was a sparring between wooden swords.
‘If it had been a real battle, if Eugene had even used magic… … .’
Who would be the winner?
I couldn’t easily predict victory or defeat.
“you. Where did you learn swordsmanship?”
Mustafa asked Eugene.
“… … .”
Looking at the broken wooden sword, Eugene looked up and stared at Mustafa. Perhaps it was because of Saratov’s suspicions, it was not the pure respect of the original, but the eyes mixed with a bit of wariness.
“It’s self-taught.”
Eugene, who was silent, answered briefly.
“… … Great.”
Mustafa didn’t seem to understand, but replied as if he understood. Yujin returned to her seat while receiving the envy of the students.
‘Have you reached that level by self-study? I’m not kidding.’
Laughter came out of nowhere. It was truly an overwhelming talent that seemed to have been bestowed by God.
‘No, it’s actually true that God gave it.’
Could this be the correction of the main character? It’s too much to do. The author of the original work was to the point of resentment.
From noble mtl dot com
and at the same time,
‘My hands are itching because I want to fight.’
In the writer, the urge to fight the one who is loved by God boiled over.
I want to set the ranks. I wanted to check the relationship between me and Eugene, who is stronger. I was so curious about what shape Eugene’s sword was now, so I felt like I wanted to jump down and apply for sparring right away.
‘calm down. Not yet.’
But now is not the time. If I fight now and win, Eugene’s existence will be buried in me. Dalian is enough after Yujin has firmly established her presence in the academy.
Delicious things shine the more you eat them at the end.
‘On the contrary, I hope I don’t become the one who gets eaten.’
It occurred to me that the boss of the knight academy might be Eugene.
After watching Mustafa and Eugene fight, Katyusha and I came down from the roof. There is nothing left to do now. The first day of the knight academy ended safely.
While walking down a deserted hallway, thinking the same thing about going into the dormitory and lounging around until Mustafa arrives.
“Ah, ah. ah… … .”
A schoolgirl with a timid impression carrying a bag full of books——Bernadette, for short, ran into Ver. Ber was trembling with a pale complexion as if he had eaten something wrong.
“What is it, Ber? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”
“… … Ooh, ooh. ah State, State, State… … .”
When asked because he looked so bad, Ver stuttered and made a sound like the cry of a rare animal in the outback.
Seriously, around the time I started to worry that I had inhaled too much mercury,
“Anywhere inconvenient… … .”
“I committed a mortal sin!”
When Katyusha, who was worse than him, tried to approach him, Ver fell flat on the floor like a caterpillar and shouted.
“Please, please save my life!! Please contact me!!!”
It was a cry close to a scream, wondering how such a loud sound could come from such a small body.
“What, what’s going on?”
“Who is kneeling in front of the prince?”
At that strong cry, two or three students who were still in the classroom peeked out their heads.
“I-I!! I didn’t know the situation well!! Never, never intend to insult the crown prince!!!”
“Joe, be quiet! Shut that mouth!!”
I screamed in bewilderment when it suddenly attracted the attention of the people around me. However, as if he couldn’t be heard because of his loud voice, Ver continued to scream an apology close to a scream.
“Because I am ignorant!!! You shouldn’t stop!!!”
“Katyusha, make it quiet!”
“All right.”
I couldn’t stand it, so when I ordered Katyusha, Ver immediately hit the back of his neck with the blade of his hand and became quiet. Silence fell in the hallway.
“Lord, I killed… … .”
“The prince’s maid… … .”
“I am not dead. It just knocked me out.”
Katyusha gave a brief reply to the astonished students and carried the bell over her shoulder.
“What should I do? Do you dispose of it?”
“… … I’ll take you to the infirmary first.”
I seriously considered disposing of the moment, but it’s not good to judge emotionally. Katyusha and I continued walking towards the infirmary.
The eyes of the students around him were serious. While walking, the professor I ran into slammed into the wall, making a sound.
‘My head started to throb… … .’
Why? I feel that the development of this side will be more troublesome than Eugene’s.
