12 Get the instructor’s ability (2)
Weekend mornings without classes.
I was having breakfast at the table with Chloe, Viola and Schmidt.
Since we happened to meet in my room a few days ago, the four of us eat breakfast in this way more often.
Southern students who followed Schmitz were also eating at the table next to them.
‘Serine is also glancing around at this place nearby.’
Serine is eating breakfast from a distance, surrounded by her followers.
Although he often seemed to listen to what we had to say, he was still far from me.
“By the way… As Ernas-sama said, the first match will be held in two weeks.”
Schmidt opened his mouth during the meal.
This morning, as the future schedule was posted on the bulletin board on the first floor of the dormitory, the competition schedule was officially released.
“Then there is a high probability that the opponent is also a red one and a half.”
“Unless it changes in the middle, the Red 1 and Class will be ours.”
“Ernas-sama, if it’s the Red Class 1, Rufus Ignias, who is the 6th master swordsman, will be the representative.”
Chloe said in a cautious voice.
“I heard that he has excellent skills and has charisma. I don’t think it will be that hard.”
“Yeah, it’s not an easy opponent.”
“Is it better to do some special training in preparation for a confrontation war?”
“You don’t have to do that.”
I shook my head.
“It is enough to faithfully carry out the training the professors give you.”
“Is that so?”
At the Lichtenauer Swordsmanship Academy, the best experts are in charge of training.
It’s best to do what the academy tells you to do to improve the overall power of the whole class.
At least at this point in time.
‘Rupus must be training his students to hell by now. However… It’s counterproductive.’
In the novel, Class 1 Red enters the battle in a state of exhaustion from overtraining.
It was because Rufus was too zealous to achieve results in a short time of two weeks.
“Of course, it will be necessary to get the basic breathing right. So that we can move in harmony.”
“then… … .”
“I want to leave that part to you, Schmidt and Chloe.”
When I pointed them out, they both looked surprised.
“Take care of yourself so that the Black 6s can become one. and… … .”
He looked at Serine who was sitting nearby and said.
“It would be better to ask Serine for her cooperation. Chloe takes care of this part.”
“Hey, why are you doing this to me?”
“Because I think it will be easier for you to ask than for me.”
“After all, it seems difficult to ask your ex-fiance.”
Chloe covered her mouth and smiled.
Then Viola, who was having a hard time eating breakfast, raised her head.
“By the way, how did Ernas-sama break her engagement with Serine-sama?”
He didn’t show any interest in the story of the confrontation, and immediately showed interest when the talk of engagement came up.
“You broke your engagement right before entering the academy, what happened?”
“It was just that there were parts that didn’t quite fit. Let’s just talk about that.”
“Oh, tell me more! I’m curious!”
Viola bit me tenaciously and stretched.
Originally, Viola was a character who showed great interest in the love affairs of others in the novel.
‘At this point in time, there is only one incident that is of interest to me and Serine’s catastrophe… I can’t help it.’
It’s not going to do me any good if I try to divulge the details.
As he was contemplating how to end the story, Schmidt cautiously opened his mouth next to him.
“Ernas-sama, if you don’t mind… Can I hear you later in a quiet place?”
“Schmitz, why are you… … .”
“Actually, I also have a fiancee in my hometown, but it’s because we’re getting along a little bit.”
Schmidt lowered his head with an apologetic expression.
“We’ve known each other since we were little, but it seems like he doesn’t like me very much… … .”
“Hey, I didn’t know that Schmidt-sama was such a troublemaker. Surprisingly, he must have been a pure man, right?”
“Hey, Chloe, don’t make fun of me!”
Watching Chloe joking next to me, I belatedly remembered that Schmidt had such a setting.
It was a setting that I mentioned one line in the beginning and passed.
“I’m sorry, but there’s nothing I can say out of my mouth. It’s disrespectful to Serene.”
It may give you a sense of incongruity when you try to explain for nothing.
That’s why I decided to stop here.
“Well, I see.”
“Ah, sorry.”
“Fufu, that’s right.”
Schmidt and Viola looked sad, but Chloe smiled and nodded.

“… Serine-sama, Serine-sama?”
Hearing the voice of the girl in the front seat, Serine flinched.
He was preoccupied with Ernas, who was sitting a little further away, so he couldn’t hear the girls sitting with him properly.
“I’m sorry. What were you talking about?”
“No, it wasn’t that important… … .”
“Uh… … .”
The girls following Serine looked at each other and their tails were blurred.
“Serine-sama, maybe… … .”
“As expected, I feel sorry for Ernas-sama… … ?”
“Wow, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Serine hastily denied it.
“Did I tell you that I broke my engagement because I wanted to?”
“No, though… … .”
“Whenever I have time, I follow Ernas-sama with my eyes… … .”
“That, that… … .”
At the point of the female students, Serine hurriedly thought of an excuse.
“Now that I don’t have a fiancée, I’m worried that Ernas will go around flirting with other women… … .”
“If you don’t even have a fiance, it doesn’t matter how you get along with other women, doesn’t it?”
“Huh, I’m just worried that the girls in Black Class 6 will be harmed by Ernas.”
“From our point of view, you always seem to have a gentlemanly attitude… … .”
“… I used to be a sneaky person.”
Even after they got engaged, Ernas used to flirt with other women.
This was also one of the reasons Serine tried to break her engagement with Ernas.
“The fortress has changed so much… I can’t get used to it.”
Seeing Serine muttering like that, the female students looked at each other with different expressions.

Even at the Lichtenauer Swordsman Academy, weekends are free time.
Whether it’s personal training, relaxing, or just wandering around… do it freely
‘Still, I can’t go out of the island.’
Black Class 6 and other classes cannot leave the island they are assigned to.
They just stay in the dormitory and go back and forth between the academy and the outdoor training ground.
However… This rule also becomes meaningless when it reaches the state of gradient.
‘Graduate level of magical power can easily move to another island.’
Anyway, I can’t get out of this island right now.
If you try to swim away, you will become a prey for the monsters lurking under the lake.
We have to keep preparing on this island until the Academy sends them out of the island.
“… … .”
As I was immersed in my thoughts while gazing at the calm lake, I heard a murmur from the side of the outdoor training ground.
Serine, Schmidt, and Chloe were gathering the students and talking about the confrontation.
‘They will take care of the students.’
Now I just have to focus on myself.
Because my role is important to win the competition.
‘In the competition, victory or defeat is decided by who gets the nameplate of each class first.’
One name tag is given to each class, and usually the class representative wears the name tag.
Therefore, you can win by defeating the class representative of the opposing team and stealing the nameplate.
‘That role… I have to do it myself.’
Thinking like that, I moved along the beach alone.
The destination was the northern part of the island, a rocky mountain-like terrain.
‘It’s pretty tough.’
Even someone who enjoys mountain climbing will not be able to climb without equipment.
However, today I was planning to climb to the top.
‘Because I have to try my new skill.’
Gyeongsinju is a type of martial arts, and it can be said that it is similar to Gyeonggong (輕功) in martial arts novels.
If you learn this new skill, you can run around quickly without worrying about obstacles, and when you reach a higher level, you can fly around.
It is thanks to this new magic that Graduate can easily go back and forth between islands.
‘Youthburg Renewal from Chloe… How much?’
The Youthburg Renewal Skill itself was quite good, but Chloe was still at the C rank level.
Will I be able to climb that rocky mountain with a C-rank Youthburg Renewal?
“Whew… … .”
After taking a deep breath, I relaxed my legs once.
He already knew how to move.
“… … !”
widely!
kicked the ground and jumped.
He climbed up the bumpy rocks at once, then quickly leapt once more.
I quickly ran up the rocky mountain, but at some point my foot slipped.
“Ugh… … !”
He quickly lost his balance and fell.
He was in a situation where he would get seriously injured, but he managed to land by demonstrating his youthful renewal technique.
“I almost died… … .”
I felt pain in several muscles as I was forcibly twisted in the air.
Do I have to be indebted to Viola’s acupressure again?
“Whew… … .”
I sat down on the floor and sighed.
We couldn’t even get to the top, let alone half of it.
However, I didn’t want to try again.
It’s hard to break even a bone after falling down like before, so it’s better not to try any more.
‘Isn’t it only this much with C-rank Youthburg Renewal Skills?’
It may be because of Ernas’ poor physical abilities, but anyway, this is not of much help.
It is dangerous to make the same mistake as before in a critical situation.
‘In this battle, we need a new skill… … .’
Unlike fighting Serine and Schmidt, the battle takes place on a separate training island.
Because the terrain is rough there, you need to exercise your new skill to move effectively.

More than anything… It is absolutely necessary to defeat Rufus of Red 1 and Class.‘I can’t help it. In the end, that’s the only way.’
I left the rocky mountain behind.
Then we crossed the island and headed towards the school building.
“… … .”
The door was locked because it was a holiday, but I had the key because I was the class representative.
When I opened the door and walked down the hallway, I saw a ‘sukjik room’.
Looking inside, I saw Instructor Annerice lying on the bed and sleeping.
Next to the bed… There were a lot of liquor bottles rolling around.
‘It’s just like a novel.’
Anne Rize is usually a sincere woman with no flaws.
Her only flaw is that she sometimes drinks too much like this.
I don’t drink alcohol unless it’s the eve of a holiday, so there’s no problem with my instructor’s job… … .
‘In the novel, there was an episode in which the protagonist took care of Anne Rize, who was suffering from a hangover.’
Annerize, who is so drunk and asleep, never wakes up until the sun rises in mid-heaven.
It is certain because it is the setting specified in the novel.
“… … .”
I cautiously entered the sleeping room.
Then she approached Anneliese and put her hand on the inside of her wrist that was out of the bed.
‘If he wakes up at least once, he doesn’t seem to be in a good condition, so he’ll just say that he’s on his pulse.’
It would be nice to be able to copy the ability with just a brief touch, but it takes close to a minute to complete the ability reproduction.
So it was best to try to reproduce the ability while sleeping like this.
‘then… … .’
focused my mind.
Soon after, Uslecht came into effect and a message came to mind.
[Attempts to ‘recreate abilities’ for the character ‘Annerizee Granger’]
[The level of understanding of the character ‘Annerizee Granger’ is 60%.]
I clicked my tongue.
Compared to Serine, who was 95%, and Chloe, who was 90%, the level of understanding is much lower.
Unlike the women who were heroines in the novel, they were just supporting roles, so it was inevitable.
[‘Reproduction of abilities’ may fail due to lack of understanding of the characters.]
[If ‘Reproduce Ability’ fails, you cannot retry ‘Recreate Ability’ on the same person twice.]
[Are you trying to ‘recreate abilities’ for the character ‘Annerizee Granger’?]
A warning message also appeared.
There is a possibility of failure, and if you fail, you can no longer try to reproduce the ability on Anneliese.
This was to be expected, as other artifacts had similar descriptions.
‘If you fail here… There are two problems.’
First, in the future, you will not be able to try to reproduce the ability on Anneliese.
Second, you will not be able to use Anneliese’s abilities in a confrontation.
‘Actually, the first one is not that serious.’
Right now, they are locked in the Black Class 6 island, so there are only a limited number of people who can copy their abilities.
However, if you go outside, there are many swordsmen with superior abilities to Anne Rize.
Even if you can’t copy the ability from Annerise again, there is a way to make up for it.
‘That’s why, the second is the real problem.’
If you fail to gain abilities from Anneliese, you will have to devise a new plan.
Because it is difficult to win the battle with only my abilities now.
‘Then, should I build an acquaintance with Anne Rize to increase my understanding?’
I pondered for a while.
As a writer, what should I do to get more information than I set?
And immediately shook his head.
‘That’s stupid.’
It will be possible to raise the level of understanding to more than 90% if you make him confide all secrets after falling in love with Anne Rize right now.
But it’s not realistic.
And you never know what will happen after you do that.
‘You don’t have to waste time. It’s best to try it now.’
There are two weeks left until the match.
Even if you fail now, you can think about countermeasures for two weeks.
The more you drag, the less time you have to think about what to do if you fail.
‘Let’s try.’
I hardened my heart.
She placed her hand on Annely’s wrist and closed her eyes.
[Attempts to ‘recreate abilities’ for the character ‘Annerizee Granger’]
Annerisee’s ability, ‘Lichtenauer Renewal Skill’.
Will I be able to acquire the new magic that I originally had to study for a long time at the Lichtenauer Swordsmanship Academy? Judgment has begun.
