“If the princess goes around covered in soot, there will be a commotion, so come in and wash up.”
“If that’s the case, I’ll just have dinner and go!”
“It’s amazing that you just ate like that and immediately remembered dinner.”
Things progressed like that, and Veronica went to wash up at the Black Moon Dormitory for a while.
Yunia, who was in charge of cleaning the room that day, got angry when people covered in soot came in, but Noah and the twins hid behind Veronica, apologized, and quickly ran to the bathroom.
and after a while
“Aww, that’s nice. This is life.”
After taking a quick bath, Noah exclaimed as he drank the cold carbonated water.
“Is it over there yet? Well, just drying those long hairs will take a long time.”
When he had time to spare, Noah immediately took out a lunar eclipse and started practicing stance.
I already finished the sweaty training today, so I won’t sweat anymore after that.
This was Noah’s own routine.
‘In the fight with Nairobi senior, I used a lot of paper, but the power and accuracy are still low.’
In Yongwanggung Palace, dozens of corridors and rooms were elaborately connected to each other using paper.
On the other hand, the axis used by Noah was only a few meters long, and the error of the destination was large.
That alone would be a pretty powerful ability in close combat, but in reality it wasn’t.
‘It worked because it was the first time I used it in front of others, but it won’t work now that it’s known.’
It didn’t matter if the knights didn’t understand the flow of the jinbeop correctly.
If only I knew that it was true, I could break the flow.
‘I have to establish it with my own skill rather than just using stance while fighting.’
I had thought about this, so I expected results.
* * *
After washing up, Veronica stopped at the scene spread out in the living room.
16 battles centered around the scabbard.
A disaster-level aura was circulating through that formation.
What was even more surprising was that even while watching the scene, everyone seemed to be used to it.
“Are you always like that?”
“Noah? what is it Everyone says that now.”
In general, the way knights collect auras was like this.
1. Focus inwardly through meditation.
2. Absorb external aura through breathing.
3. It circulates the aura inside the body and mixes the outside aura, which is no different from a foreign substance, with its own aura.
4. Repeat this while adjusting the concentration you can endure.
Once I got used to it, I could repeat these all the time without meditating.
However, this method had limitations.
“I went to the dragon palace and they made something like that because the aura you get from breathing is not enough.”
From noble mtl dot com.
The amount of aura that came in one breath was only a handful at most.
In the beginning, it had to be adjusted according to the concentration that could be tolerated, but if it was a skilled knight, there would be no problem with the amount obtained through breathing.
For this reason, it was common to consume additional elixirs and use their absorption power to the maximum.
“But that… … .”
Since there is only one human body, there is a limit to the amount obtained through breathing.
If so, on the contrary, if you take the aura out of the body, wouldn’t it be possible to sweep the aura around you without having to go through the respiratory system?
The artificial blood map using the true method was created with such an idea.
In addition to his body, Noah was breathing for 17 people using 16 jinbeop.
“If you can collect auras 17 times more efficiently than others, you don’t even need an elixir… … .”
When others were looking for elixir because breathing alone was not enough, Noah was able to fill the maximum amount of digestion by himself with just breathing.
Considering that the number of monsters decreased after the Great War and the disaster level elixir could only be obtained by becoming a Master Knight, this was a breakthrough.
“Still, other people said they couldn’t write it. what did he say? Is it possible only if you can write a victory?”
“Even considering that, it’s amazing that you don’t need to find an elixir.”
When they were twins, they could get as many elixirs as they needed.
Because of that, they were only doing something strange again, but the story was different for Veronica.
‘I was thinking of recruiting the elixir as bait when I graduate and make my own knights… … !’
Honestly, considering Noah’s skills, it was difficult for Veronica to recruit him.
After Noah graduates, almost all large knights will be aiming for him, except for the small and medium knights who will give up because they are not good enough.
Particularly terrifying among them was the Ribery family.
‘Considering Theodore’s personality, it’s obvious that he’ll take me by force.’
Once they take them, they put them in the ranks of their knights, and they only roll within the territory to appease them.
That was the way Theodore made Ribery bulky.
In a similar way, there were many cases where entire small knights were merged.
Of course, the difference between the resources available to the head of the 8th family and the princess was huge.
There is only one way to reverse this difference.
‘Unless I inherit the throne… … .’
However, considering the good fortune of Emperor Gwanghwi, it was nonsense until Noah graduated.
“what? Since when have you all been here?”
After finishing his meditation, Noah stopped concentrating and realized that Veronica and the twins were watching him.
The girls had washed and changed their clothes, but as they were looking at Veronica’s clothes, Linaria explained to them.
“It’s Rosé’s clothes.”
“… … why??”
Noah looked at Roselia and Veronica alternately.
No matter how you look at it, the size doesn’t fit.
especially the chest.
“Because it looked pretty. I bought it to wear when I grow up. I didn’t know that Veronica would start it first.”
“Do you grow up later?”
“Because it will be big!”
Rogelia, who resisted Noah’s tackle, quickly lost her confidence as Veronica and Linaria turned their heads without saying anything.
“Wouldn’t that be a bit big though? tell me it’s going to be big, guys… … .”
“Oh. It must be big. There’s no way a senior can be small forever.”
“Hey, Noah, you’re the only one.”
Roselia made a quick recovery.
“Rather than that, Nairobi won too, so now if only Millia is defeated, you will face me next?”
Roselia, who is currently ranked 10th, said as if she was looking forward to it, but Noah betrayed her expectations.
“no. Rosé-senpai will go up and deal with Rina-senpai at once.”
Considering the difficulty of dealing with both at the same time, the twins were most likely the most difficult regardless of the rank.
With that in mind, Noah wasn’t ready to deal with the twins yet.
“Eh? That’s right, though I’d be happy to stick with it with all my might. Lina is competing with Veronica this time, isn’t she supposed to be number one by then? Then it will take a long time.”
Veronica pursed her lips at Roselia’s careless words.
“Because I won’t lose?”
“Huh, but seeing as you’ve been struggling with Julius for two months, isn’t your form not the same as before?”
“That’s Julius-senpai!”
Veronica, who was about to refute, immediately remembered her promise to Julius and shut her mouth.
Seeing that, Noah teased Veronica.
“This, this, I thought the revenge in the preliminary round would come a long time later. If you drop the ranking like that, you’ll be able to get closer sooner than you think?”
“Because I won’t lose!”
Veronica arranged the story as if it couldn’t be done.
“I won’t lose to Linaria-san, and I won’t defeat Julius-senpai either. And I will wait for you at the number one spot. I will take your first place!”
She was trying to say something like ‘Noah, in order for you to win first place, you will have to defeat me, not someone else’.
However, in the midst of teasing from all sides, I shouted out in anger, and the words became strange.
Linaria, who was listening from the side, interjected with a cute smile.
“Your first place is mine! Rani is romantic.”
Hwaaak!
It wasn’t until after Veronica herself said that she realized the truth and blushed.
“Anyway, you know that!”
After saying that, Veronica ran out.
“Oh, my clothes.”
“Consider it a present.”

A few days later, Noah met with Nairobi to fulfill his promise.
“I thought the introduction was skipped because nothing was said after that, but you remembered?”
“You must keep your promise. Regardless of whether I like or dislike you, because I lost is a loss.”
No matter what the person is, swordsmanship does not lie.
The knights respected the talented the more they had excellent skills.
It is because you can guess the effort of the opponent as much as you know how much effort you have to make to become stronger.
‘I don’t like the behavior… … .’
Noah’s free-spirited behavior was irritating to the naive Nairobi.
However, Noah was not taking swordsmanship lightly.
She had a personality to admit to.
“As a reminder, Terry is here too.”
“Are you talking about senior Terry McDowell, who is currently in sixth place?”
“yes. As you can see then, the two of them care deeply for each other. So bear with Terry’s company.”
“are you okay. It doesn’t matter if we’re not alone in the first place.”
When they arrived, Milia and Terry were waiting for Noah.
“Hey, I heard you asked Nairobi to introduce me?”
An open shirt, a tight skirt that was narrowly shortened.
Millia was wearing an uncomfortable outfit that was hard to see in Night Ray.
Normally, even if it is decorated, it is limited to a level that does not interfere with violent movements, but this one was a confident non-combat outfit.
“Where are you looking?”
Thanks to that, Terry, who was sitting next to Noah, was staring at him curiously.
“sorry. I thought it was an unconventional fashion.”
“This child?”
Terry was ready to stand up at any moment, but Milia stopped it.
“hahahahaha, you’re a funny guy, aren’t you?”
“Aren’t you too formidable? I heard that you come from a family with a name that is not the 8th generation, but you are different from the students I met.”
Milia’s free-spirited appearance was the image of ordinary apostolic students.
“Who are the kids you’ve met?”
Noah looked at Nairobi in silence at that question.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“No, just.”
Milia burst into bread again at the sight.
“Puha! Terry, look at him. Very funny.”
“I am not funny.”
“I’m pissed off again. noah you understand he’s a bit squeamish I like it because I’m cute when I’m pouting.”
Millia seemed to like Noah.
“so? What did you want to do with me?”
“If possible, I want to face each other with the best of each other. We learn each other’s swordsmanship, and like Ophelia-senpai, we change venues if necessary.”
“Good. If that’s the case, I agree. If you came to Nightray, shouldn’t you learn as much as possible?”
Upon hearing Noah’s intentions, Milia, on the contrary, made a proposal first.
“Then, would you like to learn Lindberg swordsmanship from me by the end of the month?”
“yes?”
“On the contrary, you are teaching me your swordsmanship.”
Millia smiled selflessly.
“And at the end of the month, I’ll make up my mind and do my best to stick together!”
