There were only eight families in the eighth generation, but their power was absolute.
Those who inherited the name of the original family had excellent swordsmanship and martial arts regardless of age or gender.
In addition to the main family, he also had numerous branch families and subordinate families.
The 8th generation is actually a country within a country.
It was no exaggeration to say that there were 8 kingdoms within the empire.
And Felix Meyer is the direct descendant of the Meyer family, one of the eight great families.
He was the youngest son of the current family head and one of the family’s biggest prospects.
Felix’s swordsmanship surpassed those of his cousins, who were already high rankers even before entering Nightray.
Needless to say, in the case of the branch family that did not inherit Mayer’s name.
From childhood, the only one who was able to get his sword from the same generation was the older brother he respected.
‘My older brother is proudly leading the students as the 2nd place in the rankings, but what am I doing here… … .’
As the heir of the 8th family, everyone respected Felix, but in fact he was uncomfortable with people.
Felix liked to practice swordsmanship alone.
Although he entered Nightray for the honor of his family, his stomach ached to death every time he took a group class.
The classmates didn’t know that and praised Felix for being cool, but that made it even more difficult for him.
To be honest, I felt like throwing up every morning because of the expectations of others.
‘Are the kids who fought at night all right? I tried my best, but what if I got hurt? If only because of me you wouldn’t be able to hold a sword again… … .’
People are uncomfortable and swordsmanship is fun, so he stayed at home and trained only in swordsmanship.
Thanks to this, one of the swordsmanship skills was at a high level among the late exponents of the 8th family, but the social skills were at a high level in the opposite direction.
‘Should I apologize right now? But if you can’t find a clue and apologize, you’re just kidding. Ugh, what would my older brother do at a time like this?’
Jump!
Felix, who was suffering alone, jumped up from his seat at the moment he felt.
“It’s a habit.”
“Felix?”
At the same time as the students around him expressed their doubts, Noah’s voice resonated everywhere.
“The second clue is in my hand! Come on if you want!”
When Noah’s voice filled with aura resounded, Felix immediately grabbed his sword and ran out.
‘threat.’
There was no need to worry about who the owner of the aura was.
Noah.
A strong man from Sado.
A person who is regarded as the antipode of himself, the focal point of the degree among his peers.
He was well aware of this because he had challenged himself to a ranking match several times.
‘I don’t want to fight with that guy.’
Felix was deliberately avoiding the ranking match against Noah.
He was a guy who would keep fighting until he won.
In addition, considering the political problems in the school, winning or losing was a loss.
“The captain has been delivered.”
Noah recognized Felix from a distance and was waiting for him when he appeared.
Felix looked around in the meantime.
‘I just came… … .’
Several of my classmates were already rolling on the floor.
It was clear that the fainting without any visible wounds had been overpowered by an overwhelming difference in skill.
“I heard you harassed the apostles last night?”
“It was necessary to find clues.”
“But it was in vain. It was I who took the second clue.”
Saying that, Noah took out a guidestone and held it up.
“This is the second clue. If you want, knock me down and take it.”
‘Grunt… … .’
There was a stubbornness in Noah’s voice that could not be resolved through conversation.
Having said that, I won’t give it up unless you really defeat it.
‘If I knew it would be like this, I wouldn’t have listened to the other kids. It looks like I’m fighting with him for no reason.’
Sreung!
Felix sighed in his heart and drew his sword.
I could tell just by looking at it.
Among his classmates, he was the only one who could deal with Noah.
“Then I will knock you down.”
Noah was clearly a strong enemy.
But Felix had no thought that he was losing.
Oman?
There was no such thing as arrogance in his timid personality.
All Felix has is the training he has been doing so far and his belief in it.
His swordsmanship was too strong to imagine defeat.
‘Let’s finish it as soon as possible.’
The moment Felix placed his hand on the sword, Noah’s expression hardened.
“One Island, Great Flooding.”
Felix’s sword cut across the horizon, and the sword radiated from the sword obliterated the forest within the gap.
* * *
“That’s freshman swordsmanship… … ?”
Apprentice instructor Kuina couldn’t help but be astonished at the devastation that had occurred with just one slash.
All trees and rocks within a radius of 100 meters were cut down intact.
No, it would be more accurate to say that it was torn.
“You shot the sword in a straight line, and in that moment cut the surroundings with the extended sword. Aren’t you familiar with the intangible sword yet?”
“If I could handle that completely, I would be an instructor, not a student.”
“Well, they say that when you wake up from the intangible sword, a new way to use it is discovered.”
The 3rd stage sword skill, the intangible sword, had infinite possibilities.
It was not the end that expression was possible.
It was an intangible sword that changed in a thousand different ways depending on how it was used.
“But for being able to simply shoot, the application is excellent. That skill alone is enough to get you a top ranker, right?”
Technology is also technology, but it was impossible without a huge amount of error.
However, Felix had an aura that deserved it, and if the intangible sword was added to that aura, the top ranker position was a matter of course.
“The problem is that the opponent seems to be stronger than a fairly high ranker.”
When the dust caused by the flooding cleared, a flat land was revealed where everything higher than the waist had disappeared.
However, there was only one place in that flatland that escaped the aftermath of the great flood.
“You cut Felix’s sword with your own sword.”
“No matter how much the sword energy released is weaker than the sword energy applied to the sword, it is not until it is at a somewhat equal level… … .”
“Felix is the second son of the Mayer family. He must have grown up in an environment comparable to that of the imperial family. No, they must have received more support than most members of the royal family who are far from the right of succession.”
By the way, he uses sword skills comparable to that of Felix?
Does anyone there know where he came from?
“Noah, does that guy become the royal family’s secret weapon?”
“You will soon find out if what you said is right or not. If Felix is the opponent, Noah will have no choice but to show off the swordsmanship he has learned.”
However, the expectations of the instructors were not met.
* * *
Immediately after stopping Felix from flooding, Noah rushed forward and closed the distance.
If they were attacked unilaterally from a distance, their defenses would eventually be breached.
Felix followed Noah with his eyes.
‘Closing the distance here? Can’t Noah use an intangible sword?’
At the point where the distance to Noah was close enough, Felix once again fired his sword.
“Three-style rotation.”
Countless pieces of the sword were scattered around Noah.
A situation where all sides are occupied by black magic. Noah’s thinking accelerated.
fleeting moment.
A still image like a photograph unfolded before my eyes.
Noah read the flow of the sword in that scene.
‘I’m not directly controlling each one. There is a pattern.’
8 blades that fly directly to your current location.
4 sword spirits that block the retreat.
Four sword skills that chase the movement ahead.
Eight sword skills to anticipate the movement two moves ahead and block it.
12 sword skills that rotate randomly and block unexpected paths.
All sword movements were reconstructed in Noah’s head.
I couldn’t help but try to break through.
‘Felix himself is behind him.’
In a short moment, Noah calculated the movements in his head to greet the sword skill as sequentially as possible.
Ride on and on!
Avoiding the sword attack from all sides at the same time, Noah hit Felix one by one and immediately threw his sword at Felix.
Felix easily evaded the attack and counterattacked, but what he attacked was a shuriken covered with an aura.
‘Lee Hyung-hwan?’
In the confrontation between the knights, there were more cases of relying on the sixth sense to feel the aura itself rather than the perspective that can only see the front.
For this reason, when it reached the intangible sword stage, there was a method called Hehyeonghwanwi, which deliberately created a sword in the air to deceive its location.
Noah used that skill by overlaying an aura on a shuriken instead of an intangible sword.
A situation in which the opponent catches the back.
Perong!
From noble mtl dot com.
Felix spewed sword energy toward the ground and the recoil left the range of the attack.
It only took 3 seconds from the flood to here.
“Certainly, being an intangible sword is amazing. Can it be used that way?”
“you… … .”
Seeing Noah talking as if he had learned something good, Felix had no choice but to change his mind.
“Why aren’t you using your swordsmanship?”
“what are you talking about?”
“Hasn’t he been using only basic swordsmanship with no skills up until now?”
Even Felix, who was not good at dealing with people, had pride as a soldier.
According to his technique, what Noah used was only the basics and their applications.
It was a situation where Felix could feel like he was making fun of himself.
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t mean to make fun of you. In fact, my swordsmanship… … .”
However, Noah’s explanation did not lead to the end.
Gu-gu-gu-gu-gu!
“What is this again?”
“Is it a thunderbolt again?”
“No, I don’t have that anymore.”
It was immediately clear that it was not an artificial vibration created by a thunderclap.
“Isn’t the vibration never ending?”
“Something is moving in the ground.”
It was something that even the instructors did not expect.
The instructors made dragon swords for the test and put the magic beasts in them.
The magic beasts of Yonggeomdo have formed their own ecosystem in this environment where they cannot go outside.
Demon beasts that had to compete for survival in limited resources evolved at an abnormal speed.
It would have been fine if it had ended there.
No matter how powerful a monster is born, this is the inside of Nightray.
There was no way that the speed of evolution would surpass the skills of the instructors who managed this place.
The problem was that the monsters here knew about the powerful humans outside the island who put them here.
They chose to hide their presence in the process of evolution.
But in recent days.
Delicious prey with a large amount of aura flowed into Yonggumdo, and the instructors who managed the island periodically did not show any peeping.
An opportunity that will never come again for the monsters hiding in the ground to avoid the instructors.
The ruler of Dragon Sword, who had been paying attention for two days, began to act in earnest.
‘Beast reaction? Senpai, shouldn’t this test be stopped?’
‘The decision will be made by headquarters. Besides, look at those guys.’
Noah and Felix, who had just pointed their swords at each other, were now back to back.
“How many minutes will it take before the others run away? Can we hold it?”
“If you run away into the ground, you can’t stop it. You have to kill them in one shot when they realistically appear.”
‘The freshmen seem to be full of thoughts of fighting, right?’
