“uh… … I am fine.”
When Noah refused the wooden horse, the East Sea Dragon King calmly put Tiu down.
“Then, let’s go get Regina-sama this time.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Normally, upon arriving at Nightray, he would go to meet his superior, Regina, first, but the beastman, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was not bound by such human etiquette.
The Dragon King of the East Sea, who came to take Noah to identify the demon, found the black moon dormitory teacher as soon as he arrived.
So, the group, including Noah, moved to the main building in awkward silence.
– Hey, that was just… … .
– Don’t ask.
– No, you’re just thirsty… … .
– Don’t ask.
Tiu kept his mouth shut, but the Dragon King of the East Sea revealed the situation instead.
“I was looking at the horns, so I wondered if I wanted to touch them.”
“… … Is that why you ride a wooden horse?”
“Humans tell nobody to bow their heads, right? Then, to touch the horns, Miss Thiu should climb on me instead of me lowering my head.”
Wondering what this meant, I turned around to see the two attendants shaking their heads as if they couldn’t help it.
“The Dragon King of the East Sea is a person who is not bound by common sense and prejudice.”
Although it was packaged, there was an atmosphere that I did not know well.
It seemed that he was originally this kind of person.
After learning the reason, Noah’s attention shifted to the attendant who spoke to him.
Turtle Suin.
‘If you only look at the amount of aura, it’s roughly the level of a high ranker.’
In addition, there was also a rabbit beast next to it.
‘I don’t think he’s a bodyguard. Are they disciples?’
If they were disciples of the Dragon King of the East Sea, their skills would be certain.
Noah looked at them with even more interest.
Then the rabbit beastman read Noah’s gaze and greeted him.
“nice to see you. I am Naru, and the turtle here is called Hanbyeol.”
“Ah, my name is Noah.”
Noah took Naru’s outstretched hand and shook it.
The hand that Naru held out for a handshake was the same as a human hand.
‘It is said that beastmen become more and more like humans as they pass through generations, so they must be children, right?’
It looked like Yuna’s age, but it was difficult to guess her age because they were of different races.
“Do you have horns too? A dragon, so in terms of a human, it’s a knight, right?”
Hanbyeol and Naru had small horns.
Hanbyeol had two protrusions in the front, separating the front and side hair, and Naru had a 5:5 parting in the center of her forehead.
“It’s not an exact match, but it fits. Hanbyeol and I became dragons a while ago and are studying under the Dragon King.”
“Hmm?”
“Our swordsmanship is for self-discipline, unlike the swordsmanship of knights. Therefore, it is a tradition to receive instruction from the great teacher, the Dragon King, during important times when the body changes.”
Being a disciple of the Dragon King did not mean anything special, but meant that it was a section that anyone who practiced seonju would go through once.
‘what? Then isn’t it very strong?’
It was inevitable that there would be a difference between becoming stronger as a result of Aura training and learning combat skills from scratch.
“but… … .”
“huh?”
“Hanbyeol wanted to learn swordsmanship from the beginning, not swordsmanship.”
Noah looked back at Hanbyeol at those words.
Hanbyeol and Naru were wearing traditional costumes of the beast tribe with hollow backs.
This costume, with only the front end hanging around the neck and revealing both the shoulders and back, was made to be worn by tribes with tails as well as species such as hedgehogs and camels.
Thanks to its monokini-like shape, Noah was able to examine the bodies of Hanbyeol and Naru.
Hanbyeol, a turtle beast, was wearing an upper shell instead of a shell.
From the outside, it looks like a tattoo centered on the back.
Judging from her appearance, she was just a young woman with a tattoo on her back.
On the other hand, Naru had rabbit ears and a tail, so it was immediately recognizable as a beastman.
“tail… … .”
It was the tail that caught Noah’s attention.
‘But the tail is an organ that humans don’t have.’
‘Do you use your tail in a fight? Rabbit and turtle tails look a bit short to use in battle.’
Animals use their tails for a variety of purposes.
There is nothing different from being a beastman.
If their skills were at the same level, the presence of a tail was like having an extra arm.
In addition, since you can deal with attacks coming from behind without looking back, the strategy itself could be different.
‘I think it would be fun to fight with kids with strong animal characteristics.’
While Noah’s eyes were shining with swordsmanship, Tiu was looking in a completely different direction.
‘Are men really good at exposure?’
Noah’s gaze had been fixed on Naru’s butt ever since they joined.
The traditional attire, which boldly dug out the back to reveal the tail, boasted a considerable degree of exposure.
Since he kept his eyes on the opponent’s buttocks (tail) wearing such an outfit, from Tiu’s perspective, he could only think of it as exposure.
‘Among the clothes I have, the only thing that can be called exposure is… … .’
Tiu, who quickly recalled the clothes in his closet, despaired of organizing his wardrobe, which consisted mostly of sportswear.
Even if you include the clothes in your hometown, the only thing that can be said to be exposure is an off-shoulder dress.
It was a moment of regret that he had lived a life of hard training in swordsmanship until now.
Meanwhile, the parties, Hanbyeol and Naru, were distracted by other issues.
-Narunarunarunaru! Listen, I looked it up and it turns out that Noah is 13th in the nightray rankings!
-Oh yeah.
Hanbyeol, who learned about the outside world through books at the Yonggung Palace, was a maniac for knights and action plays.
For Hanbyeol, this outing is like a pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
On top of that, meeting Noah, a student of Nightray and a top ranker, felt similar to a character in a book he had been reading popping out into reality.
– Can I use property transformation? is that hard? Will it still be very strong? I want to see swordplay! what color is it
Hanbyeol, who once complained that she disliked swordsmanship and asked to be taught swordsmanship, became a dragon by practicing swordsmanship with the single thought of going out of the dragon palace.
Despite the evaluation that the skill of the swordsman is low, it has become a dragon only through hard work.
Thanks to that, Naru, who was seriously learning senjutsu, couldn’t see such a reaction from her childhood friend.
-I never thought the day would come when I could look around Nightray myself, good job being a dragon!
– Okay, that’s great. congratulations.
The reason why Naru came out this time was to prevent innocent Hanbyeol from falling for a bad person and going wrong.
‘I will protect Hanbyeol.’
* * *
“Everyone has gathered, so let’s start right away.”
Regina reacted coolly as if she expected it even though the East Sea Dragon King brought Noah and Tiu.
“huh? Come to think of it, didn’t you say that you were entrusting the school to Saengsa-ryeong? I was looking forward to meeting you.”
“If he is, he has already arrived.”
“yes?”
“The fact that Kuina can’t be seen is proof of that.”
The voice came from empty space.
-noisy. Don’t casually go around talking about other people’s money.
An electric sound resonates in empty space.
Surprisingly, even though the transmission using aura was used, Noah could not feel the presence of the spirit of life and death at all.
“The life and death spirits are generally invisible. You can’t even see it with your mind’s eye, so you won’t be able to find it even if you look around.”
“You can’t even see it with your mind’s eye?”
“Since the mind’s eye is a form in which the sixth sense has reached its limit, it is not that there is no way to avoid it. For example, emptying the aura.”
There were also ways to cover it with superpowers or use star fragments.
In the end, it’s detection through aura, so all you have to do is create a situation where that’s impossible.
“I don’t know what method he’s using, but what he can’t even see in a normal way is the life and death spirit.”
-So, don’t talk about other people’s money.
“By the way, the image of a young man displayed during a meeting is also fake. He used reverse body transformation. Actually, when I was young, I took the wrong medicine and stopped growing, so I look like a kid.”
“hey!”
It was a sickly-looking boy with gray hair and white eyes who jumped out shouting that.
The girl tried to aim for Regina’s neck, but stopped immediately.
“Really?”
If you get any closer, you die.
He realized that the activation of space-time insulation would be faster than his own attack.
“Did you see it? Remember this guy because he looks like this.”
“Did you threaten me to show this guy who I am? If it doesn’t come out, you’re going to keep telling me more important information?”
“If it’s your personality, you’d sneak in anyway and take Kuina after all the background investigations, right? I think this should be fair.”
“Just knowing about me can be dangerous… … .”
Noah already knew much more dangerous information than that.
Perhaps thinking about that fact, Saengsa-ryeong gave up being angry.
“Sheesh. I was so excited to see you show your true face.”
Then, the life and death spirits disappeared again.
Regina looked at it and said to Noah.
“Because he’s such a guy, be careful not to look bad. It’s as small as a cow’s char inside, and it’s scary when you come to me with a knife when you sleep.”
“Looks like you just looked hateful enough.”
“If I really hated you, I wouldn’t even show you my face. I must have plucked out your eyes before you showed up. Of course I would have stopped that.”
Although he only showed a clumsy appearance, that was acting for the sake of his image in the end.
Saengsa-ryeong knew how important Noah was from the beginning, so he deliberately showed such an appearance.
“Huh… … .”
It was the East Sea Dragon King who kept silent that renewed such atmosphere.
“Shall we leave now?”
* * *
Most of the journey to Yonggung was also a railroad trip.
It was an extremely eye-catching number of people because there were several people in it, but thanks to Regina, it was no problem because they could rent a private cabin separately.
‘If there’s a problem, it must be this way.’
No matter how luxurious the vehicle is, the aisle in the train is narrow.
In that narrow passage, Noah looked down at Hanbyeol, who was blocking his way.
“Anything to say?”
“Hey, maybe you and me… … .”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Hanbyeol, bring this to the Dragon King.”
“uh? uh, yes.”
Hanbyeol, who was about to say something to Noah, disappeared as if running away at Naru’s sudden request.
Naru shot a word at Noah, who was worried about what the situation was, and ran away himself.
“… … transformation.”
Noah could only scratch his head when he suddenly heard the sound of pervert.
“Are you puberty?”
He is in the position of going as a guest to ask the Dragon Palace for a favor.
I didn’t want to make a fuss, but… … .
“It would be good to know why.”
Noah hid his aura and went into hiding.
* * *
Hanbyeol didn’t know much about swordsmanship, even though he wanted to learn it.
That’s natural, since I learned it only through books, and not through swordsmanship books, but through novels.
However, even in the eyes of Hanbyeol, Noah’s practice during the trip was unusual.
‘Can you handle auras that way?’
Let’s leave the amount of aura as such.
It was only natural that there would be no one at a similar age to follow the Master Knight or the disaster-class elixir.
Rather, the way it handled it was ignorant.
It’s to the point where I can’t understand that a person like that is a student and not an official article.
“As expected, if you are as great as I am, you might not want to teach me swordsmanship… … .”
In the book, it was said that the stronger he is, the more he hides his swordsmanship.
Hearing that he was not yet an official knight, Hanbyeol thought that maybe he would accept him as a disciple, but the more he learned about Noah’s skill, the more his confidence disappeared.
Naru looked at her like that and said bluntly.
“What do you like about swordsmanship? It was originally designed for humans, so you wouldn’t be able to use it properly.”
“Yeah, but… … .”
“Quickly get your hands off of stupid things, and if you’re a prisoner, focus on your skills like a prisoner.”
This was enough to get a sense of the situation.
“Is it like that?”
“Hyat!?”
“There are plenty of swordsmanships that even beastmen can use. If you want to learn swordsmanship, I will teach you.”
“Did you hide and eavesdrop?!”
Naru argued and listened, but Noah coolly ignored it.
It was a small revenge for what they said was swordsmanship.
“If both swordsmanship and swordsmanship are skills that deal with auras, then self-cultivation is possible with swordsmanship, right? Like Regina-sama.”
“that… … .”
I couldn’t say no other than mentioning Regina.
“If I teach Hanbyeol swordsmanship and Hanbyeol surpasses you, Naru will admit it too. how is it?”
“under? Being a dragon at the same time doesn’t mean you have the same skills, right?”
“I know.”
While Hanbyeol has an aura similar to that of a high ranker, Naru’s aura is that of a high ranker.
It wasn’t something I could catch up to in just a few days.
‘If it’s a normal case.’
“That would be fun.”
“Yes, Dragon King of the East Sea? To Regina… … ?”
As the fight unfolded, Regina and the Dragon King of the East Sea, who were watching the situation from the next room, intervened.
“I’ve been curious about what would happen if a beast master learns swordsmanship.”
“It wouldn’t be bad to learn swordsmanship if it helps with discipline.”
The mats were laid in an instant by the two Master Knights who couldn’t overcome boredom.
Naru was crying.
