Teeing!
‘You read this too?’
When the one-hit kills failed in succession, Nairobi felt more than astonished and even despondent.
There is a saying that dark knights have extreme poison when they reach attribute transformation.
Attribute transformation is, so to speak, a technique that specializes in one direction of swordsmanship.
Conversely, this meant that if a knight had reached attribute transformation, he could hide or mislead him by removing all specialized elements.
invisible sword.
Nairobi’s swordsmanship was just such a swordsmanship.
‘But that guy is reading all my attacks. Are you saying it feels good?’
No matter how well you hide your aura, it’s Nairobi who will eventually attack you.
It is said that she trained her ‘poker face’ to control her body’s reactions and reduce external information, but there was a possibility that Noah was reading a habit that even she was not aware of.
‘then!’
Nairobi stabbed the front, forming an intangible sword with an aura secretly sent out.
However, Noah turned around and attacked the air despite the sword coming from the front.
Hwareuk!
The frontal stab without power was blocked by the flames caused by the attribute conversion, and the real target, the intangible sword, bounced off lightly.
‘This is not a level that can be said to be good.’
When a knife comes from the front, how many people can hold back and respond to the other side?
‘Even if it’s judged that way, it’s another matter to execute it with confidence.’
Noah is reading all of her numbers.
I’m sure of that too.
I couldn’t help but think that way.
“How do you read it?”
“Does method matter?”
“That too.”
Nairobi attacked Noah again.
It didn’t matter if I was reading it.
If you can outwit Noah with just one of all the skills you have, you’re winning.
On the other hand, Noah was fighting the ranking match in a more relaxed state compared to the match against Ophelia.
‘Is this the first time I’ve ever fought with such an advantage?’
Nairobi’s swordsmanship is a deadly cancer autopsy that stabs a vital point after making it impossible to believe even what is visible.
Unlike swordsmanship against demons, it was a swordsmanship developed specifically for dealing with humans.
However, Noah saw all of that.
“Heukyeomah: Hae (解).”
The black flame that wrapped around the dark moon was released and stretched like a whip.
The spread black flame swept away the intangible swords tightened from all sides at once.
Nairobi did not get discouraged even though their attack was blocked again and immediately went on to the next attack.
A single point of concentration to break through the wide-spread swordsmanship by one point.
‘But there’s no way I can break through the black flames without attribute conversion… … .’
“Water jets.”
However, Nairobi took an attribute transformation right before it touched the black flame.
‘If their actions can be read, then they’re going to engage in psychological warfare!’
As a result of a series of failed attacks that were blocked every time, Nairobi succeeded in poking the gap that Noah thought would be no big deal this time.
The compressed intense water pressure pierces the black salt.
But that’s because Noah released Black Yeom-ah.
Noah regenerates the compressed sword and cuts through Nairobi.
however,
“Fairytale.”
An aura whose characteristics have been extremely erased goes beyond being simply indistinguishable and assimilates with the other person’s aura.
Nairobi passed through Noah’s sword like a ghost and stabbed his throat.
“this… … !”
A feeling of dizziness that I haven’t felt since the rigid body technique was strengthened.
At that moment, the world started to flow slowly, and Nairobi’s dagger approaching his neck caught his eye.
fast.
It’s to the point where it doesn’t seem to work anymore.
However, Noah, who has mastered ki and can fully control his body, moved his body first even when he was caught off guard.
Paperweight!
The Brain Spirit activates.
No matter how fast Nairobi is, Noah’s current physical ability is the highest among the 15 players.
In addition, when the lightning god specialized in speed was activated, only Noah quickly turned his body in the time when everything slowed down.
Turning his upper body and getting out of the line of fire, Noah used the recoil to slash Nairobi’s side.
‘If I can’t reach the sword, I’ll cut it with the sword itself!’
No matter how fairytale it is, it is impossible to penetrate the material that exists.
Nairobi hurriedly defended with an intangible sword, but only avoided being cut and could not offset the impact.
Kwaaang!
At the place where Nairobi’s body bounced off, an ice-sword made by Noah is formed.
She hurriedly made a foothold with the intangible sword and stopped.
“You can’t stop there.”
The moment she stops, Noah, who was chasing her, catches up with her.
The thing that dwells in the dark moon is a black salt that has been compressed by pouring a lot of aura.
Donghwa could not penetrate that level of density.
breakthrough is impossible.
But there is no need to break through.
“diffusion.”
The intangible sword Nairobi was stepping on shattered, and the fragments were shot like bullets.
An area attack immediately after inducing the opponent to compress the sword energy.
This was Nairobi’s style of viciously tenaciously aiming for an opponent’s gap.
But Noah didn’t attack without thinking either.
“I decided not to use overdrive, but this side rather wanted to practice in a ranking match.”
“What are you talking about… … ?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“Axis.”
At that moment, all the flying fragments were blown away by the axial earthquake that spread around the lunar eclipse.
A combat method that uses the built-in tactics in the lunar eclipse to activate the desired stance at any given time.
At the same time, Noah’s sword passed through the space and hit Nairobi, omitting the intermediate process.
aaang!
The rock of the gymnasium is broken by the intense explosion and soars.
After the deflagration lifted, what appeared above the gymnasium was the figure of Noah aiming his sword at the collapsed Nairobi.
“They say they even use swearing… … ?”
“This is my victory. Oh, but I will teach you the recipe.”
Nairobi, who was about to get up as if it wasn’t over yet, flinched at the words.
It was a complete defeat.
* * *
“Nairobi senior’s swordsmanship was only the ones that would come out naturally if you didn’t know everything. I could see it and blocked it all, but if I missed it even once, it would have been dangerous.”
After finishing the ranking match, Noah summarized the contents of the review in his diary.
There were times when it was dangerous, but the confrontation with Nairobi was close to going as it should without overcoming the difference in compatibility.
“That would be an absolute style for opponents who are weaker than you. It will be very scary if you get the related mind sword.”
Noah organized his evaluation of Nairobi like that.
Naturally, I evaluated with this in mind until I became Master Knight, but I was not conscious of that.
Going through various things, Noah was looking at the level that even the sword would someday reach.
* * *
At the same time, Veronica was brooding over her defeat alone in a dark hallway.
At the defeat a month ago, I only felt resentment.
However, something was different now that Noah had given him more space.
No matter how much I thought about it, it was hard to think that I was defeated simply because I was ‘not enough’.
Then why couldn’t he defeat Julius?
There was only one conclusion I could think of.
“Seniors.”
“Were you waiting for me?”
So Veronica took Mia away and went to find Julius alone.
“Senior-nim is also the owner of the Mystic Eye.”
“Even if this isn’t the case, you won’t believe me.”
“Because otherwise it wouldn’t make sense.”
With only two defeats, Veronica has arrived at the correct answer.
“right. But that is also in the past tense. Now I have really lost my eyes.”
Saying that, Julius lifted his eyepatch.
“… … !”
Up until now, Julius, who had only closed his eyes while claiming to be blind, had been wearing an eyepatch ever since he returned to Sanctum Keep.
What was revealed beneath it was a large scar that was not there last year.
It was a trace of Julius, who was in a situation where the magic eye was about to be taken away, and cut his eyes with his own hands.
“So, can’t you keep this a secret from the imperial family? I don’t want to be bothered by eyes that don’t exist anymore.”
“… … All right.”
Veronica responded reflexively even when she was lost in thought.
The power of the demonic eye is to see the aura with your own eyes.
This not only changes the perception of the owner, but also changes the owner’s perception itself.
The difference between a person who sees the world only in black and white and a person who sees the world in full color studying art.
People who cannot see colors can use colors through theoretical study, but they cannot be the same as people who can see colors.
Possessing the Mystic Eye is the same as being able to see colors.
‘If you’ve experienced the Mystic Eye even for a moment, it’s natural that you can read how other owners of the Mystic Eye will behave.’
However, Veronica thought that Julius had ‘awakened’ the Mystic Eye in the Sanctum Keep.
‘There are things you only see when you lose them… … .’
There were many things I wanted to ask, but no matter how hard it was, it was a bit like holding on to a person who had lost both eyes and questioning them.
“but.”
“hmm?”
“Now that I know this, next time I won’t be suffering the same way I did before.”
“is it. I must be more diligent. But you’re probably not in a situation where you’re only looking at me.”
Veronica challenged Julius for two months in a row.
Because of that, it will be impossible to join Julius next month.
In order to give the 3rd place a chance to challenge the 2nd place, they were not supposed to be able to fight only with Julius forever.
“Some say that Lina, who is currently ranked 3rd, just finished Anise by accident and is not ranked 3rd, but you would know that it is not just like that.”
Linaria’s skill is slightly inferior to that of her twin sister, Roselia.
That was the orthodoxy, but that didn’t mean Linaria was weak.
“Ribery’s twins are geniuses. This isn’t just something to brag about at Ribéry. Above all, they are still young.”
The twins were 5 years younger than Julius and 3 years younger than Veronica.
However, it was not an exaggeration to say that the two of them were on the same line as theirs.
Their growth rate was surprisingly fast.
To the extent that only Noah showed more growth than that.
“If things go on like this, they are expected to even break Aslan’s record for the youngest mind sword. It will be difficult to maintain second place if you only look at me.”
“yes. I will keep that in mind.”
Veronica, who confirmed the facts she had suspected, bowed politely and left the place.
Julius was actually the owner of the Mystic Eye.
Next month, we have to play a ranking match against Linaria.
after graduation.
Organizational work… … .
Veronica, lost in thought and walking aimlessly, came to her senses in front of the Black Moon Dormitory.
In the yard of the Black Moon Dormitory, Noah and the twins were grilling potatoes and sweet potatoes by collecting fallen leaves from the winter.
“… … It is forbidden to light a fire on campus.”
“Heh, even the school rules are powerless in front of Rina-senpai, who is shining at number 3 in the rankings. If it’s within the fence here, we can roast or fry it as we like?”
“Yeah right! Those who work hard should be rewarded! This is a reward for me who wrote leaves all the time!”
“In the first place, it was difficult to clean up because Rosé became annoying while cleaning and set it on fire. Besides, when the two of us do things together, we use up my authority.”
“Lina, it’s not like family members risk writing facts.”
Veronica, who had been troubled by these humans until just now, sighed.
“You’re using your ranker privileges just to bake it… … .”
“Uh-huh, don’t do that, come and eat.”
Noah then peeled a ripe sweet potato and put it in Roselia’s mouth.
Roselia has been around for a while, ‘Is it ripe? Aren’t they ripe? I think it’s ripe?’ It’s because he made a big fuss, so he decided to carry a gun and do the baking.
As for Noah, he told me to wait, so he confirmed that everything was baked, but Veronica was strangely bothered by it.
“Give me too!”
After a while, the four of them got along well and entered the dormitory covered in soot, but Yuna scolded them not to dirty the common entrance.
