I Became a Bookkeeper the Monarchs Are Obsessed With chapter 15

15 – Learning Swordsmanship – 2

2 weeks after that. I was training hard in swordsmanship.

In fact, there was nothing special about training. After getting hit by Glacia, getting healed by the healer, getting hit again by Glacia and then being healed by the healer.

No scars left. This is because Arcadia Academy’s healers are world-class and excellent. But even though there are no physical scars left, there are still scars in the heart. The pain that accumulates every day comes back as stress.

“Is there any way to make it less painful!?”

I asked with anger, but Glacia answered as if it was not a big deal.

“If there is no pain, there is no education effect. Swordsmanship is a survival skill. You learn when your survival is threatened.”

Damn, I don’t think I’m wrong, but I’m going to die of pain!

– Whiik!

Glacia also swung loudly to make her feel sick. But she lightly dodged my sword and stabbed me in the throat.

“Cuck!”

I couldn’t breathe for a while. An unimaginable pain ran through my neck. Is this also better with heels?

“Sir Baal… ”

Why did you say you were learning from Glacia? If I had learned from someone else, I would have taught you the basic movements slowly. This is why people from the back alley… While I was thinking that, Glacia threw an unexpected word.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

“what?”

“The attack just now was an attack that forced us to fight back. I don’t have talent, but I have sense.”

You don’t have talent, but you have sense? What’s the difference? isn’t it the same

“Muscle flexibility, innate physical ability, skeleton, and mana sensitivity are somewhat lacking. Your body is no match for swordsmanship. You have no talent.”

I know that, man. So, it must have been a failing grade so far.

“In return, the ability to understand the sword path is excellent. The ability to think of how to attack effectively and ingenuity is innate. It is a story that the body can’t keep up with the swordsmanship, but the head is fully following.”

Indeed, there are flaws in the body, but there are no flaws in the head.

“You’re not feeling well, so your head is suffering.”

Ignore Glacia’s needlessly added words.

“However, if you always remember that you are weak and fight, you will be able to do it anywhere. It won’t be difficult to avoid failing grades.”

I was beaten for two weeks, so my humility was cut.

“It’s important to know your skills objectively, so we’ll prepare the stage for you.”

“A stage?”

“It is a special stage where you can intuitively know what level you are at right now.”

It is a stage where you can intuitively know your skills. What the hell are you talking about on stage? I was puzzled at first, but I soon understood what stage Glacia was talking about.

—–

“I didn’t expect it, but you really came alone.”

Someone’s voice echoed through the gymnasium. Andre, Enrique, Hugh. They were the three people who usually bothered me.

“I read the challenge sheet well. You’re going to fight one-on-one without Glacia? I’ve become quite arrogant while I haven’t seen you. Do you even think that you have become stronger?”

Andre said with a sneer. But what does all that mean? I had no clue.

“What challenge?”

Andre tutted, clicked his tongue, and stamped his feet.

“Don’t pretend! Isn’t this the challenge you sent me!”

ah… sh*t. Glacia told me to come to the gymnasium at 8:00 pm on Sunday, saying that she would make a stage for me, so I came and it was like this? It seemed that everything was fabricated by Glacia.

“I don’t have a good memory, so what was it about?”

“haha! You’re such an idiot for getting a failing grade on the last exam. Wasn’t it a letter requesting a one-on-one duel to repay the shame of bullying so far!”

And then I’ll tell you everything I’m going to tell you. If you get to know me, aren’t you actually a good guy?

Just when I was thinking about that, he picked up a wooden sword.

“Hold your sword. It will tell you the difference between bloodlines.”

“ha… okay. Let’s stick together, dude.”

I’m starting to get fed up with these guys. He must have been recognized by the princess. These bullies think the time has come to graduate.

When I picked up the wooden sword, Andre greeted me in the manner of a nobleman and then started attacking me recklessly. I was taken aback by the sudden attack, but while my mind was taken aback, my body reacted leisurely. It was because Glacia had hit her with excitement.

As I dodged his first attack, Enrique and Hugh looked shocked. It was because he was completely different from Charles, who had no motor nerves until now.

Andre felt embarrassed too. When Charles asked why he was bothering him before, he said that he was bullying because he was a fallen nobleman, but that was most likely not true. Then why did he leave so many commoners behind to harass Charles?

The answer was that Charles was complacent. Charles had neither sword talent nor magic talent. Because of this, he was an opponent who could be easily harassed. But now it’s different. Andre was attacking Charles with all his might, but Charles was not getting hit and was either knocking them off or avoiding them all.

‘It’s nothing compared to Glacia… !’

Even though Glacia’s attacks seemed to be thrown, each one was fast and fatal. However, compared to Glacia, Andre’s had no substance at all, even though it resembled in form. It was neither fast nor sharp. I was able to hit it with just enough movement.

“This fallen nobleman… !”

Andre’s attacks began to come in gradually. However, Charles was not pushed back at all and blocked Andre’s attack. As I continued to block it, Andre was out of breath before I knew it. Whoops, whoops… ! The sound of breathing was heard all the way here.

‘already? Haven’t you started yet?’

Glacia was fine even after beating her for an hour all day. But Andre was out of breath after only a few minutes of attacking.

“Aren’t you really weak?”

I thought he might be a strong guy in his own way because he had the experience of being beaten to death by Andre, but it’s not a big deal when he fights on equal terms. I was beaten to death by a guy like this… ? I felt futile.

“Shut up, you idiot!”

Andrew screamed and ran. It was a basic attack that the academy taught me to get tired of, going from the bottom left to the top right, then turning the sword around and attacking from the left again. Charles, who had grown tired of that motion through Glacia, attempted a counterattack for the first time by lowering his head to avoid it easily and attacking his leg.

-Kwadangtang!

The man who had been hit in the leg fell noisily. the bastard screamed.

“Ahh! Aagh! Legs, legs… !”

It wasn’t even that the leg was broken. Even though it was just a hit, the guy was acting tough.

“Aren’t you actually very weak… ?”

Why did you hit this guy? If you fought with all your strength, wouldn’t you win? The moment he thought so, Andre shouted.

“Why are you just watching! Phew, Enrique! Subdue him!”

“What? One-on-one!”

“Shut up, you idiot! Duels are for nobles only!”

Hugh and Enrique rushed at the same time. Andrew soon got up and started to join them. It was easy to block in 1v1, but it became quite difficult in 3v1. Charles stepped back and blocked the attacks they poured out as much as possible, but the number of heads began to be pushed back little by little.

It lasted about 3 minutes. He continued to fall back, causing the enemy’s attacks to fail. However, the problem was that there was an end to the gymnasium. When they were driven to the corner of the gymnasium, Charles was unable to block the three swords.

The attack from three places was threatening. Andre continued to use violence mercilessly as if to avenge himself, and Enrique and Hugh likewise struck down Charles mercilessly.

Charles felt a kind of euphoria even though he was in great pain. I lost now, but I thought I could win with a little more training. It was Charles who thought that he would have to ask Glacia to roll properly from now on. and that moment.

“stop.”

Everyone held their breath at the beautiful voice that resonated in the gymnasium. Looking towards where the voice came from, Glacia Ehrenberg was there.

“Until there. Everyone, please go back to the dorms.”

At that one word, Enrique and Hyuga noticed, and Andre, the leader, boldly stepped forward and shouted.

“What is your year, say this and that… ”

“If you don’t want to fall behind.”

Saying that, Glacia pulled out a wooden sword, and the three of them started running away. Glacia approached Charles and held out her hand, and Charles stood up holding Glacia’s hand.

“How was it?”

“I’m sick to death.”

“Not that. Didn’t you feel the odds?”

That’s right. If he was a little more familiar with swordsmanship, he would have won.

“They learned swordsmanship in their own way, but it is a typical academy swordsmanship. It’s a swordsmanship obsessed with form. On the other hand, since you learned while being beaten by me, you naturally have no choice but to be stronger. As I said before, swordsmanship is a survival skill.”

That was right. I never thought I would catch up with Andre in just two weeks. It also played a part in that Andre was originally a no-nonsense guy.

“2 weeks.”

Glacia said.

“Two more weeks of training. I’ll make you beat those three idiots all by yourself.”

“Is that possible in two weeks?”

“As long as you are prepared to be beaten to death.”

In the end, is the premise correct?

Here, a choice popped into my mind.

[One. I hate being right I think I’ll avoid failing grades, so let’s stop now.]

[2. Still, don’t you want to see Andre’s face in person?]

After thinking about it for a while.

I decided.

[2. Even if you finish the swordsmanship class, let’s finish it by looking at Andre’s sword.]

For the next two weeks, a hard road was opened.
