After the second semester started, Noah focused on improving his ranking.
I had an appointment with Regina, and my first semester grades proved that I was more relaxed in the liberal arts than I thought.
So now all that’s left is to have fun running.
“There were times when I thought that.”
Noah’s current ranking is 810th.
Although it rose compared to the previous 844th place, it actually went up to the 750th place and then fell.
“The ones with high rankings won’t accept it if they think they’re going to lose, and the ones with low rankings only need to win once, so they come up with all sorts of outlandish strategies. I heard that the top ranker ranking match is a demonic realm, isn’t it really a joke?”
To raise the rankings, you must be determined and ready to snip someone.
In order not to drop the ranking, overwhelming skills were needed to withstand anyone attacking.
Noah was confident that if he fought 100 times in the 800th place, he would win over 70 times.
However, ranking matches are always a one-off game.
Noah was struggling with an unexpected difficulty.
“This elixir. Should I just eat it… … ?”
Noah opened the elixir given to him by Theodore and sighed as soon as he saw the contents.
There are two elixirs in the neck armor.
It seemed clear to anyone that it was an item brought to give to the Rosalina twins.
“Looking at what you gave me, it must mean that it doesn’t matter if I really eat it. But if you eat it for real, you will definitely try to pick the mulberry, right?”
Becoming the son-in-law of the Ribéry family just because he took one elixir was a no-brainer.
If you didn’t want to eat it, you could just pass it on to the twins.
However, since I was holding it in my hand, the problem was that it was a waste to convey it with my mouth.
“Did you anticipate and design this? Indeed, this is the politics of the 8th family… … .”
Whether Noah eats this or not, he gets entangled with the twins.
Theodore had even involved Noah in the process of handing over the things he intended to give to his daughter anyway.
If this was true, it was truly terrifying.
And it’s probably true.
“I can’t help it. I’m going to bring this to you and ask you how to counter the penetrating glasses.”
The reason why Noah, who had risen to the 700th rank, fell back to the 800th rank was because of those who came out with a strange technique called penetration glasses.
If you cross swords with them, the opponent’s aura flows into your body and interferes with the formation of sword skills and the operation of rigid body techniques.
It seems that countermeasures are already widespread among high-rankers, but from Noah’s point of view, seeing such a thing for the first time, he had no choice but to be defeated.
“Even in the finals, if Veronica had used the penetration glasses, she would have done nothing. I am still inexperienced.”
Even if a counter has already been developed and is dead, if you don’t know the counter, you have no choice but to be defeated.
Research and study were just as important as basic swordsmanship skills.
It was no different from practicing alone in the mountains when you had to hone your own skills without studying other people’s swordsmanship.
There is no way that what many people created after years of research could not follow the modern swordsmanship system alone.
In addition, new concepts and techniques were constantly emerging, so it could be said that there was no end to the study of swordsmanship.
“Because the ones around me who learned the most thoroughly are the twin seniors.”
The seniors on the Sado side had very distinct personalities, so even if they learned, there was little that they could use.
On the other hand, Rosalina knew a lot of skills that Noah could use right away.
“senior! There is a gift… … Whoaaagh!”
Noah stormed open the twins’ door and immediately walked away screaming.
Rogelia was drooling and biting at Linaria in a dangerously torn outfit, and Linaria was desperately blocking such Roselia.
“What are you looking at! Help quickly!”
“Hey, what kind of situation is this?”
Noah grabbed Roselia and asked.
The twins were younger than Noah, but their auras were much higher than him.
As Roselia, who had become unconscious, struggled, it was difficult even for Noah to endure.
“Aslan, that son of a b*tch! He hid alcohol in the cellar!”
“… … Did Roselia-senpai find it while cleaning and drink it?”
Only then did the bottles of alcohol strewn around her caught my eye.
Now that I saw it, the captured Roselia smelled like alcohol.
So, it was all about drunkenness.
“Sir, you can’t do this here.”
“Ooh! What else are you!”
When Rogelia was separated from Linaria, she clung to Noah this time.
“Find a weakness! Ha!”
good! Roselia, who was hanging on to it, bit into Noah’s ear and started chewing on it.
“Ouch! Deaf ears!”
“Hey, wait!”
As soon as he hurriedly removed it from his ear, she started leaving kiss marks on Noah’s cheeks and neck.
And the people in the dormitory rushed at the sound that flowed through the door that Noah had left open.
“What, what’s going on?”
“Who are you fighting?”
“Ugh, the smell of alcohol.”
So, when the half-naked Roselia was found sucking Noah, everyone was at a loss for words,
Shiva’s exclamation echoed quietly.
“Ow.”
In the end, Roselia fell asleep only after the Black Moon Dormitory students gathered together, wrapped them in blankets and tied them with ropes, and sang the lullaby 14 times.

next morning
All of Aslan’s alcohol was confiscated for the accident.
“How did you get it… … !”
“Looking at it, they didn’t collect it themselves, but they came in as bribes because they were number one. I know that because I will sell everything and use it for public money in the dormitory!”
“No eh eh!”
Afterward, the liquor he took to sell was found in Ursula’s room, but Noah didn’t bother to point it out.
“Your sister put it in your pocket so you won’t be upset, so be quiet.”
“Hey, what happened? My eyes are blurry these days.”
“Right. Well done.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Instead, they had ample pocket money, so everyone except Aslan was satisfied with the result.
“This is utilitarianism.”
Linaria, who wasn’t particularly interested in money, looked at it as if it were dumbfounded.
“I guess you were very nice?”
“Well, that sure looks a little sick.”
Linaria looked at Noah who looked satisfied and said poutingly.
Whereas Noah was wearing kiss marks, Linaria was wearing teeth marks.
It was truly noteworthy that this level of damage was inflicted by breaking through the two people’s rigid body technique.
“Still, I’m sure it’s not my side that’s the problem when I go somewhere.”
“Why don’t you be proud and tell the truth that you slept with a drunk woman?”
“Because there is someone who will bite the bullet and turn this rumor into fact, even if it was just a joke.”
As long as Theodore had his eyes on Noah, that side was a dangerous area.
It would be the end if you gave a fait accompli to someone who could make something out of nothing.
“Anyway, you want to know how to deal with penetration glasses?”
“There are many other things I want to ask, but for now.”
“In Ribéry, there is a technique to subdue the opponent’s aura by means of point blood… … .”
“Hey, I was wrong. So can you put your hand down now?”
“”No.””
The two firmly rejected Roselia’s plea, who was listening to them.
She knelt beside the two of them and raised her arms to punish them.
“Then, even if it’s something hanging around your neck… … .”
“What is it about?”
“You look so much like a puppy!”
A sign reading ‘I bit a person’ was hung around Roselia’s neck as she was being punished.
“But isn’t it the fault of drinking and becoming a dog?”
“Rather, if it were Rogelia-senpai, I don’t think that level of punishment would be enough because of the rigid body technique.
“That’s a good idea. Also put a bed on it.”
“Aww!”

After the first semester, when the classes for freshmen were decided in bulk, Noah’s classmates also scattered to find the classes they wanted.
In Night Ray, practice subjects were generally popular.
However, Noah decided to learn as many things as possible by taking advantage of the world’s largest night ray.
Among them, there was also Sung Confucianism, which studies the fragments of stars.
Since it is a school that has the original stone, the existence of such a department could be said to be inevitable.
When Noah appeared in Neo-Confucianism class, a commotion erupted inside the classroom.
“If you’re Noah, you’re an aspiring knight, right? What are you doing here?”
“Because it’s an introductory class, even non-majors often choose it.”
“He’s also the owner of the Holy Spirit Sword, so didn’t he come to listen?”
After the first semester, regardless of the year, students who chose the corresponding class are mixed together.
Even so, since there was an efficient order of taking classes, at most students with a difference of about 1 or 2 years in front and back had to take classes together.
But Neo-Confucianism was different.
‘In general, it seems that there are many people who want to be blacksmiths rather than knights… … .’
In the middle, there were people who looked strong.
Among them were people Noah knew.
“Senior Ophelia?”
“hmm… … ?”
“Can you hear this too?”
“It’s a class with extra points if you have your own Holy Spirit Sword… … .”
Ophelia, who had settled down early and was dozing in her trademark bearskin, spotted Noah and greeted him.
“Limited to students with Seongryeon Sword, it is easy to fill the general elective credits.”
“If there was such a good fact, you should have told me earlier, senpai.”
“Now, if this guy is in his second semester looking for honey, he won’t be able to use it… … .”
Ophelia’s voice continued to stretch as if she hadn’t woken up.
As Noah is talking to her, another figure speaks to them.
“You can see everything from here.”
“Sif senior?”
“Did you have a good holiday? Now that the second semester has begun, you should work hard too.”
Saying that, Sif patted Ophelia’s bearskin.
It looked pretty friendly.
Noah got to know Sif during the tryouts, but it was surprising that Ophelia knew him too.
“Are you curious to know this guy?”
“Since you’re always sleeping, I didn’t think I would have any friends. It didn’t seem like I was actually meeting anyone.”
“You know Ophelia well. This guy is in sync with me. At this point, we only have eight riders left, so we have to get to know each other.”
The selection process continued, and those who did not aspire to be knights left early, learning only their own learning, instead of aiming for graduation.
As a result, even if there were more than 100 motives in the freshman year, it was common for only three or four students to remain after years of absence.
“hahahaha, our motives are already half-threshed.”
“That’s pretty good. Usually, in the case of a horseman with a descendant of the 8th family or an heir to the Black Forest, one of the swordsmen or apostles will completely explode during the first selection process.”
It was a terrifying story.
“Anyway, it wouldn’t be bad for you to take Neo-Confucianism at this point.”
“Is there a difference depending on when you listen?”
“It’s not like that, but isn’t your Holy Spirit Sword evolving right now?”
Noah’s Seongnyeon sword has been strengthened every time he learns a property conversion, and now it has reached a level where he can apply a level 1 sword skill even when he is still.
“Didn’t I say that the more diverse the attributes available, the faster it grows? Some patterns have increased a lot.”
“It usually takes 10 years to complete a Holy Spirit Sword, but. You will be able to complete it much faster than that.”
The more the Holy Spirit Sword is used, the more it consumes the master’s aura and becomes stronger.
It was not simply strengthened, but also changed its form or developed characteristics according to the user.
If you continue to strengthen the sword in that way, at some point the sword body will be completely stained with the color of the sword, and this is called the completion of the sword.
“They say that the completed Seongnyeonsword can withstand even swords created through element transformation. Of course, I can draw swords much faster and stronger.”
For example, the imperial family’s treasured sword, Glorious, has already been strengthened to the level of the original stone, so even an ordinary knight can take down the master knight’s sword.
Of course, if you were a master knight, you could overpower your opponent without having to clash swords, so that alone was not enough.
“If you do well, this class will speed up the completion of your sword.”
“oh.”
It is said that artisans do not choose tools, but it was also true that it was advantageous to use better weapons with the same skills.
More than anything, if the Seongryeonsword can ultimately be strengthened to the level of the original stone, then you will be able to unleash the sword without worrying about the durability of the sword.
Noah was happy that he had chosen Neo-Confucianism, but the world was not so happy.
“nice to meet. My name is Regina, who will be in charge of the Introduction to Neo-Confucianism class this semester.”
“huh?”
“Ehh?”
“Why is the principal here… … ?”
“My father-in-law from the imperial workshop, who was originally supposed to be in charge of this class, was lying down with back pain, so I took over.”
All the students gathered at the appearance of Regina were dumbfounded.
“It’s a mess, but don’t worry.”
Regina looked back at those students and smiled.
“Because there are few people who know the Holy Enlightenment Sword better than I do.”
She smiled meaningfully, her gaze fixed on Noah.
“So, let’s get into the real thing, shall we?”
