008. Serena Joheiden (3)
A night where the bright moonlight flows brightly
Serena, who changed into her training outfit, and Zeke, who was wearing their usual military uniform, came out to the yard.
Zeke crossed his arms and looked at Serena.
Her whole body was stiff.
“Don’t be too nervous. It’s a light check. Let’s start with the swordsmanship you know how to do.”
“Yes, yes!”
A sword was pulled out from Serena’s waist.
She closed her eyes deeply, caught her breath, and took a nose-up.
He never learned swordsmanship from his master.
However, the White Tiger Knights of the Duke of Joheiden are an elite group that is considered one of the strongest in the Empire.
He listened to and recorded the knights’ training methods and training process.
I glanced at the gymnasium and learned their swordsmanship.
It’s been 7 years since I went out to the backyard every morning when everyone was asleep and sweated.
He endured the time of endurance while swinging his sword like a stickler.
There was tension in unleashing the sword he had trained so much in front of the master.
she was confident
Effort will not betray you.
After swip—
The most elegant sword from top to bottom
Slowly lowering the air, the sword dance began.
A body bent like a reed.
Taang!
kick one’s feet
Serena’s new model rises into the sky and swings the sword as it is.
The sword stabbed three times in mid-air, then bent gently.
Chow down!
“Ha!”
Serena screamed and spread her arms and whirled around.
A bird spread its wings wide and glides as if flapping its wings, leading to the sword.
percussion.
As soon as you land on the floor, lower your body and stamp on the ground.
A practical sword that rips off ankles like a beast!
‘Brave Hotu!’
Immediately after that, I let go of the sword I was holding in my right hand.
Take it with the other hand and swing it again.
once, twice, three times, four times.
A brutal sword that turns the body and turns the enemy into powder!
‘Ho Tacheon!’
not stopping there
Even the enemies behind me stabbed them back as if on alert
Twist the handle straight away to finish it off completely.
As if the teeth of a white tiger were shaped, the predator’s intimidation dripped through the blade.
‘Baek!!!’
Serena seemed to have an imaginary enemy in front of her.
He gritted his teeth and fired grass.
Since then, the sword has been swung vigorously several times.
The moonlight stays at the tip of her sword
It was as if light was flowing.
Huh Eok-
Huh Eok-
After swip—
Serena took a deep breath and straightened her sword.
‘Depending on today, the sword path is strangely clear? Is it because it’s in front of the instructor!?’
The body stretched out as intended.
The sense of power at the tip of the sword is one of the sword dances she has performed so far.
It can be said to be the best!
I was worried that I would make a mistake, but honestly, it was perfect even for me.

Movements that did not usually go well continued naturally like water flowing.
‘If my father saw me like this… … . I might have had a different mind!’
Serena’s eyes twinkled as she looked at Zeke.
“Oh, how was it?”
*
‘Hmm… … . What is this?’
Zeke had a hard time figuring out what Serena was doing.
He frowned and tried to understand the swordsman as much as possible.
‘… … Maybe, this! Struggling swordsmanship!?’
I couldn’t understand.
Why the hell are you wasting motion for nothing?
Without pushing the sword once drawn to the end
why do you want to come back again?
The tip of the sword he wielded was staggering, so it was unclear where his destination was.
When he suddenly turned around and showed his back, it was to the point of shouting out loud in his heart, which he did not know when.
‘A wound on the back is a shame for a swordsman!!!’
Zeke forced himself into a sigh that was about to explode.
This… … . It’s really hard to watch.
No matter how hard it is in the Romance world, it is a sword that does not even follow the basics.
Just because it looks pretty or flashy doesn’t make it a good sword.
Even a flashy sword has a class, and even a single-shot herbivore must have a meaning.
‘It’s not for the purpose of dazzling the opponent with splendor itself, but what is this… … .’
This swordsmanship… … .
‘No, can this be called swordsmanship in the first place?’
Zeke tilted his head.
How to solve this total impasse?
First of all, check
He asked Serena, who was catching her breath.
“Serena, let me ask you one question.”
“Yeah! Instructor!”
“Have you ever learned a sword from someone else?”
“no! I stole and learned the swordsmanship of the knights by self-taught!”
“Ah, so… … . No, even if… … .”
Serena was a little uneasy at the sight of Zeke muttering something with a frown on his forehead.
‘Mmm. I thought I was pretty good at Baekho swordsmanship… … . After all, is it not enough in the eyes of those who have reached the stage? … ?’
He organized his thoughts for a while, then looked at Serena and said something shocking.
“First of all, you should change your sword.”
“Yeah!?”
“The sword was probably made for men, right?”
“… … Yeah.”
Serena looked at the sword in her hand.
The sword he gave himself for the first time on his birthday by saving up pocket money.
During that time, I studied during the day, secretly came out at dawn, and it had been seven years since I held this sword.
A sky-blue handle resembling her eyes is wrapped in hand-scarred cloth.
The blade was polished every day to give the surface a glossy shine.
‘This sword is precious… … .’
“You don’t like that.”
“… … .”
Serena couldn’t bear to accept Zeke’s words.
Even if he had been training his sword on his own without a teacher, it had been seven years.
But now you come and change the sword
How can you say something like that so easily?
I was just savage.
Do you know if you know Serena’s heart?
Zeke continued with a cold face.
“Pick up the rapier.”
“How does the instructor know that just by looking at it with his own eyes!!!”
Serena, who had been soft-spoken even when teaching her studies, made a loud noise for the first time.
Zeke had stabbed Serena’s wrath mercilessly.
‘It’s not even another sword, it’s a rapier.’
The rapier was a relatively thin and light sword that killed the performance of cutting and was specialized in stabbing.
Even since it was a one-handed sword, it was not light.
Usually, the use of rapiers is limited to dueling or when dealing with a small number of humans.
It was not suitable for a knight who faced monsters and hit multiple enemies.
He seriously aims for a knight’s sword,
Zeke’s words were no different from telling him to learn swordsmanship as a hobby like a normal aristocrat.
“Rapier… I will never use it.”
*
‘This is true.’
Don’t you know Serena’s heart that doesn’t want to use the rapier as Zeke?
However, this was a recommended sword because I had my own thoughts.
It’s not a matter of size or strength.
In the first place, the sword itself is in conflict with Serena.
Bones, quickness, flexibility, muscles.
She wielded a sword and everything was out of place.
He must have felt implicitly that the sword did not suit him.
It must have come to the academy without any countermeasures to find answers.
‘But, if I help, it’s possible.’
Zeke has been collecting and learning countless swords during his dark fantasy days.
Among them was swordsmanship in which women used rapiers.
[Cheonyu Sword]
‘It was used by one of the four thousand years. It was pretty good, so I tried to learn it, but I almost became a eunuch because only women can use it.’
Zeke suddenly remembered that day and trembled.
A female-only rapier swordsmanship that uses mana to assist body movements with almost no physical use.
Of course, the use of magic was essential for this.
‘If this were Earth, there would be no choice… … .’
Unlike Earth, Zeke could feel mana in the world of Ropan.
At first, only the person who came from a dark fantasy could feel this. I thought
It wasn’t.
As much as there was a subject called Magicology among the things he studied,
He was aware of Mana’s presence here as well.
Although very rare, there was an existence called a wizard.
And it’s filthy expensive, so I only use it for the imperial family, but
There were also various magic tools using mana.
That means you can use magic power.

Mana is the power of mana. In other words, it was a miracle that allowed them to transcend the limits of their natural species.
‘If you teach the proper mana training method and skillfully use it as a cheonyu sword… … .’
Even if it’s this girl who doesn’t fit the sword
There was nothing I couldn’t use the sword for.
Even a thin sword like a rapier can secure enough durability and produce destructive power.
‘But I have mana, so why is swordsmanship like this?’
Perhaps because of the Romance worldview, even the knights didn’t seem to think of such a way to use it.
‘No, then rather, the swordsmanship should be more neat and concise. What, without even holding magic… … !’
Zeke realized anew why he had been possessed by this place.
All of this happened because the swordsmanship here was shit.
A fucking romance fantasy.
Zeke glanced to the side.
Serena still clenched her sword as if she would not admit it.
‘… … How should I do that?’
If Serena had nothing to do with him, Zeke would have ignored him.
That’s because he didn’t feel the need to change the sword he didn’t want to change.
However, Serena is the only person in this world who is grateful for reaching out.
‘… … If it wasn’t for him… … . All the money was stolen from the lady general, so I couldn’t even stay and eat. Because he was the one who saved me from becoming the first homeless instructor at an aristocratic school. He also taught me common sense and knowledge.’
If she continued to wield such an idiotic swordsmanship, her body would eventually be destroyed.
I couldn’t leave it like this.
Zeke made a brutal decision.
‘I have to completely break it once.’
“Serena.”
“…”
Zeke called his name, but Serena puffed out her cheeks and didn’t answer.
“Are you upset?”
“It’s not!”
She trembled and her eyes were so red that she looked like she was about to burst into tears.
‘I’m pissed off… … .’
Zeke licked his lips.
“I didn’t say that because I felt bad for you.”
“Then what!”
“You can become a knight even with a rapier. Enough to deal with any monster.”
“lie!”
Even if I tell you the truth, I don’t want to believe it, so it seemed like it would take longer than I thought.
Thinking what to do, Zeke sighed.
ha-
‘Anyway, all you have to do is hold the sword… … . Really, just this time, this time is an exception. Serena is my benefactor.’
Zeke plucked a small flower decorated on the wall.
Zeke approached Serena with flowers.
A man with a flower in the background of brilliant moonlight. And a woman holding a sword with a puzzled expression in front of him.
If someone unfamiliar saw it, it would be a scene that could be misunderstood as if he was confessing to her.
Sieg knew how to change when he held the sword, so he had no choice but to take this method.
“Then give it a shot.”
*
‘What is the instructor doing now?’
Serena was taken aback. They say that you can become a knight by using a rapier, but don’t you think he suddenly picked a flower and told you to attack him?
She wondered if Zeke might be an impostor.
‘But apparently, the academy’s swordsmanship instructor had the name Zeke Kleiman.’
It was a fact she confirmed at the academy herself.
Even so, it was unheard of and unheard of in my entire life to deal with a sword with a single flower, like in some novel or absurd story.
flowers are flowers Even that flower is not a special flower, but a common plant decorated on the wall.
Just swinging it lightly and colliding with the blade would just break or cut it.
Because it was the common sense and truth of the world.
‘Does it mean something else… … . Dodging the sword at all and making it impossible to hit even one… … . no. Instructor’s personality won’t do that.’
Serena’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
Still, while staying together, Zeke’s appearance made me trust him one more time.
Of course, I wouldn’t change my weapon to a rapier because of that.
Zeke in front of me was holding a small, modest purple flower with a very serious expression.
Now, her hair also had a hairpin adorned with the same purple flower.
‘violet… It’s what I like… … .’
Serena looked at the flowers and met Zeke’s eyes.
“Instructor.”
“yes.”
Zeke nodded as if he understood.
“To be honest, I don’t know what I’m doing right now.”
“I guess so.”
“But I don’t think the instructor would act like this without any meaning. So I’ll trust the instructor and go.”
“Yes. Come.”
As soon as Serena finished speaking, she kicked off her feet and ran towards Zeke.
“Ha!”
