Deception (4)
223
The characteristics of swordsmanship varied greatly between individuals.
Even if they learned the same mana technique, refinement method, and swordsmanship, there was a slight difference for each individual, and if the basis was different, the deviation grew even bigger.
For this reason, the swordsmanship possessed by each faction had strengths and weaknesses, and among the many swordsmanships in the world, there were types specialized in emitting swords, and vice versa.
For example, the Arang sword of the Empire was a swordsmanship specialized in emitting swords.
If you were skilled enough with the Arang sword, you could intercept even a moving target from a long distance with a guided sword.
On the other hand, the arcane swordsmanship of the Frislan family was not suitable for emitting sword energy because the power was concentrated inward and entangled.
Of course, instead of having such shortcomings, the Frislan family’s swordsmanship was able to implement a very strong swordsmanship.
However, regardless of the difference between such swordsmanship.
For the unin who reached the expert level, the emission of swords was a basic skill.
Of course, it meant that it was a skill that one had to be able to use.

No matter how unusual swordsmanship is really learned…Rather than extracting the sword up to 30 m, it was overwhelmingly easy to shoot the sword and hit the target 30 m away.
In the first place, is it possible for an expert-class swordsman to pull out 30 meters of swordsmanship?
Of course, the actual killing radius of the sword that Rey pulled out was only a few meters, but in any case, Rey succeeded in implementing the sword with a length of 30 m apparently.
This was a level of skill that was absolutely impossible to achieve with expert-level mana control.
so that…
Everyone who watched Rey couldn’t help but think of Rey as a ‘very crazy bastard’.
Even with very good skills, Ray drew attention by procrastinating by pretending to be an idiot.
After gathering everyone’s attention to himself, he developed a 30-meter-long sword and avoided failing the first test with a pull-up.
this is really
It was ‘pure deception’.
Ray raised both hands, liking that he did not fail the test by himself.
“I did it!!!!!!”
It wouldn’t look like much from an observer’s point of view.
Anyway, Ray was really desperate for a challenge and passed the first test with a pull-up.
Ray, who barely escaped being bullied, spit in the air one after another and vomited out joy.
Ray scratched the insides of others a few more times and looked at the test tube standing next to him.
Ray asked the examiner with an excited face.
“What is the second test assignment?”
I wasn’t supposed to tell you in the first place.
However, the examiner, who was confused, unintentionally answered Rey’s question.
“You have to deal with the Elementalist.”
“Damn Mom…”
“…”
The examiner reconfirmed that Ray was a really crazy bastard.

Of course, the students who were deceived by Ray were in a bad mood.
Ray dared to waste time on the road, inducing laughter from the test takers, and deceiving the test takers by revealing his skills at the very end.
Ray gave them a great insult.
While everyone was shaking and shaking, Rey, who barely managed to fail, came down from Saro.
Ray came down from the road while contemplating the assignment for the second exam, when he met Giuseppin’s eyes.
Ray was upset, but he opened his mouth to say hello.
However, before Rei could say anything, Giuseppin turned her back with a hardened face.
Ray wanted to be ignored by Giuseppin because he was a commoner, but he quickly lost interest and was worried about the second exam.
‘Ha, f*ck it.’
How else should the spirits be dealt with?
At this point, Ray knew that he was too lazy to become an ‘inconspicuous ordinary cadet’.
Still, Ray did not give up hope until the end.
I still had to fix it somehow.
‘Let’s do a little better than average for the remaining two exams.’
In the first test, Ray received the lowest score in terms of scores. Because the record was 30 m.
I had to score above average in the remaining two exams to pass the Aegis.
Rey was doing the calculations in her head, but Darren sneaked up behind her.
“Brother… Should I have…?”
Darren’s voice had a hint of reproach.
Darren didn’t know that Rey was a ‘space sword one-tool idiot’ who couldn’t emit normal sword energy.

No matter how flexible Darren was, it was really hard to imagine that.So Darren secretly rebuked Ray.
Ray, unaware of Darren’s position, questioned.
“What? What must it have been?”
“…”
Darren cursed Ray with his eyes after a long time.
Ray cheered on Darren by patting her on the back, whether or not she looked impure.
“Don’t be nervous about the second exam, and take a good look.”
“…Yeah, I see.”
Darren nodded in confusion.

The second test was conducted indoors.
The second test site was covered with a barrier, so it was difficult to know from the outside what was going on inside.
This was a measure to prevent the difference between success and failure according to the order of taking the test.
Rei had to wait for the last turn to come along with Giuseppin, as two people had to enter the room in order according to their turn.
Ray felt awkward and tried to talk to Giusephine.
“Ah, there…”
“…”
Giuseppin didn’t even listen.
Ray felt that she was being discriminated against.
In the end, Ray gave up on the conversation with ‘Jusepin the Discrimination’ and kept his mouth shut.
And finally, it was the turn of Giuseppin and Rei, the last turn.
The examiner beckoned.
“Go in.”
Ray entered the room with the guidance of the examiner.
Inside, the test takers who had already completed the second test were waiting with minor injuries.
The examiner started explaining the second test.
“In the second test, you will face the spirit samurai. The Elementalist does not move from his seat and does not directly attack or defend himself.
The examiner took the white armband out of his bosom, showed it to him, and continued.
“It’s an ordinary armband, so don’t use your sword when cutting it. Complete the goal after piercing or neutralizing the spirit as quickly as possible. The shorter the time it takes to complete the goal, the higher the score. “
Ray understood the purpose of the second test.
It was difficult to meet the ‘proper spirits’.
For this reason, even those who took the Aegis entrance exam, who were noble or gentry, had little experience in fighting spirits.
In other words, this test meant to evaluate the basic skills and innate sense of the test takers in unfamiliar combat situations.
After the examiner’s explanation was finished, two Elementalists appeared from a distance of 200 m from each other to deal with Giuseppin and Rey.
“…”
Ray squeezed the back of his nose.
The purpose of the test itself was understandable and sympathetic.
The test was designed very intuitively without complicated twists, so there was no confusion.

Now, the spirit masters will materialize the spirits, and the test takers can quickly neutralize the spirits to open the way and cut off the spirits’ armbands.There was no need to inflict heavy damage on the spirit to be reverse-summoned.
It was enough to target the spirits by inflicting only enough damage to the spirits for a short time that it was difficult to use their power.
It was a matter of how long it would take, and it wasn’t an unsolvable difficult test.
However, Ray had one big problem.
If it was hit by Rey’s sword, the spirit was broken.
‘I’ll turn…’
Rey clasped her hair and thought about it.
Before Ray could organize his thoughts, the examiner signaled.
“I’ll start.”
With all the candidates who took the first test watching, the final second test began.
The elemental who had to stop Rey summoned two low-level spirits and one intermediate spirit.
The spirits that went towards Rey blew out fire and wind at the same time.
Wow!!!
As the wind mixed with the small flame, its power increased.
Rey hesitated on the spot, and eventually created a sword on top of the sword and charged.
The moment the flames covered his nose, Rey lowered his sword from top to bottom.
👌👌👌👌👌
The fire splits, revealing a crack.
Rey pulled herself out of it and accelerated toward the Spirit Temple.
Then, an intermediate fire spirit resembling a bull blocked Rey’s front.
Intermediate flame spirits spit flames towards Rey and rushed towards each other.
However, for an intermediate spirit, the power of the flames and the speed of charge were not very strong.
In order to maintain the test difficulty at an appropriate level, the power was deliberately adjusted under the command of the spirits.
“…!”
Rey slashed the flames that obscured his vision.
Chop- When the flames split with the sound of the sword slicing through the air, a mid-level flame spirit ran towards Rey through the crack.
The intermediate fire spirit was supposed to be incapacitated for a while by allowing Rey to strike this time.
Since the spirits do not die, get wounds, or feel pain from being cut by the sword, the intermediate fire spirits did not have any fear when approaching Rey.
However, contrary to the expectations of the intermediate fire spirits.
Rei was terrified to see the spirits inhaling her body through the flames.
“No, a little!!”
Rey hurriedly retrieved the sword he was about to swing forward.
Rey, who rolled over the floor as it was, kicked an intermediate flame spirit that came close to his nose.
Of course, it was Rey who kicked the giant spirit and pushed it aside.
Rey slid off the floor and was pushed back, then got up again and accelerated toward the Spirit Temple.
[…?]
The intermediate flame spirit could not understand the situation and rolled her eyes.
Then, the intermediate flame spirit came to his senses only after hearing the spirit’s call and followed Rey.
Rey slashed the flames and winds that were pressing all around him one after another.
👌👌👌👌👌
‘Ah-oh…!’
Rey had no way to attack the spirit ‘safely’.
Therefore, Rey had to move forward while blocking the spirit’s attack, but when the distance with the spirit got closer, she had to turn around and run away.
Ray repeated that thing dozens of times.
[Groo…!]
The spirits also spewed out stronger flames and winds, probably because of the drug rising while dealing with Rey.
The momentum was strong, and it was difficult for an expert class without armor to deal with it easily.
Read at n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Nevertheless, Rey moved forward step by step, deflecting the attacks of the spirits with his demon-like swordsmanship.Since he couldn’t deal with the spirits from the front, he had to go round and round, but Rey continued to narrow the distance with the spirits.
“…”
Ray doing such nonsense…
Ignet, a contractor of the spirits and a wizard directly under the imperial family, looked at him with a firm face.
A little while ago, Ignet also watched how Rey passed the first test, but was not impressed.
Because Ignet wasn’t a knight, I didn’t really understand how absurd it was to pull out the sword by 30 m.
However, as a result of dealing with Ray directly.
Ignet could understand very clearly just how much Rey had messed up on the first test.
“Lee, this chewy …!”
During the exam, Ray gave her own penalty and played a prank on the other test takers and examiners.
Once is not enough, twice.
Ignet’s reason, which had been holding on to Ray’s continued jokes, was cut off.
Even within the imperial family, Ignet, famous for her picky personality, exploded in the end.
“This chewy dare to deceive and destroy me? !!!”
Ignet could not stand her anger and summoned a higher spirit.
Whether or not to be disciplined in the future, it was a preparation to be bored.
Ray looked at him and spit out swear words.
“No, what about that bastard ?”
