The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy chapter 2

Became a fake genius in the

2 episode novel (1)

“Sign it, Ernas.”

The one who handed out the papers and spoke in a cold voice was a girl with long soft brown hair.

“Are you sure you won’t refuse? It was your bet from the start.”

A girl with a noble atmosphere with neat features and transparent skin.

Her eyes and voice were cold and dignified, and she could tell at a glance that she was an aristocratic young-ae with absolute confidence.

“We made a bet on the results of the entrance exam. The winner can ask for anything from the loser.”

Her name is Serine Bastian.

The eldest daughter of the prestigious Bastian family with the title of Marquis.

and… A prodigy who won the first place in the entrance examination of the Lichtenauer Swordsmanship Academy.

“You were the second, I was the chief. I won.”

Her eyes were cold.

Just because he won the match didn’t mean he was overjoyed.

I just wanted to get this resolved quickly.

“All I want is an end to the engagement, Ernas Landsstein.”

Ernas Landsstein.

Hearing that name, I turned my head.

And I checked my face in the large mirror hanging on the wall.

“… … .”

Silver hair that reflects light and shines brilliantly.

A slightly pale white skin, sharp eyes, and a sharp nose.

Totally different from the face I originally had… Unrealistic handsome face.

‘I have no choice but to admit.’

I sighed briefly.

As a novelist in the real world, I… It was Ernas Landsstein, the villain character in “I Became the Main Character of the Swordsmanship Academy” I wrote.

* * *

Why the hell did this happen to me?

It seems to have something to do with the Ernas story talking on the phone while talking to the person in charge, but I couldn’t figure out what the principle was.

Could it be that my person in charge became a transcendent being capable of putting people into novels at will?

There was no way for me to check.

‘Looking at my current state, I’ve become Ernas at the beginning of the novel.’

Listening to Serine, the time is right after the entrance exam.

This is the time when the test content was obtained in advance and the test tube was purchased and the second seat was taken.

‘And Ernas will use the power of this ring to make a name for himself as a swordsman genius.’

Now, Ernas is wearing a black jewel-studded ring on her right hand.

This is an important artifact in the novel, which, at this time, is only known by very few members of the Landsstein family.

If you wear this ring, you can imitate someone else’s ability and use it as if you had that power from the beginning.

Simply put, it is a ring that grants the ability to copy.

‘Ernas copied the abilities of other characters, pretending to be a versatile genius.’

However, Ernas’ copy ability was not perfect.

The limit was to imitate one level or two at a lower level.

Besides, Ernas’s own physical abilities were so poor, he couldn’t show his power properly in battle.

Ernas hides his true talent by cleverly bluffing, but eventually his identity is revealed.

Ernas, who was reviled for being a ‘false genius’, instead of being dogmatic, he gradually goes beyond the good, and eventually dies in a fight with the main character and his party.

‘Yeah, I’m going to die by Serine right now in front of me.’

Serine Bastian is Ernas’s fiance.

It was a political engagement between the Bastians and the Landssteins, but Serine hates the arrogant and selfish Ernas and wants to cancel the engagement.

‘Originally, Ernas suggested a bet to Serine with a black heart, but Serine used it against her and tried to cancel the engagement.’

Although it is a strategic engagement, it can be canceled at any time by utilizing the powers Ernas has in the Landsstein family.

However, Ernas, who wanted Serine as his wife, refused to cancel the engagement, using all sorts of excuses.

Because of this, Serine hates Ernas even more, and even after this, conflicts continue to arise because of this problem.

And finally… Ernas will die at Serine’s hand.

‘However, Serine is not the only one who is endangering Ernas’ life.’

The 6th swordsman.

This refers to the six duke families with the greatest authority in the worldview of the play. The Landsstein family of Ernas is also one of the six great swordsmiths.

They have been fighting for power for a long time, and even in the academy, there is a fierce battle between the families.

‘Ernas, the successor of the Landsstein family, has no choice but to become a target for other families.’

Ernas in the novel survived the battle with all sorts of conspiracy techniques, but if he doesn’t come to his senses, he will be assassinated without even a mouse or a bird.

‘Besides, there are all sorts of incidents happening at the academy… How the hell do you survive?’

Various events occur in the novel.

There was even an incident in which the entire Academy student was almost annihilated.

The hero who solved them was the main character, Acandel.

But Akandel may not exist in this world now.

This is because Akandel is a character who has ‘transferred’ from another world.

‘If Archandel didn’t appear in this world, and I came in instead… … .’

Recalling the conversation with the person in charge, this world is an if story with Ernas as the main character.

If so, it is highly probable that Acandel does not exist.

‘It’s really hard mode.’

A body with no talent.

Surrounded by numerous dangers.

You have to survive in a world without a protagonist.

really… difficult situation.

“How long are you going to keep your mouth shut, Ernas?”

Serine turned her cold gaze towards me, who was still in my thoughts.

She was still handing me the divorce papers.

“You don’t mean to say no, are you? As the heir to the Razstein family, I hope you don’t do anything shameful… … .”

“i get it.”

“yes?”

I took the documents from Serene.

The documents had characters that I had never seen before, but somehow I could understand them all.

“… … .”

It is a paper with a magical treatment.

If I sign it here, the cancellation of the engagement is confirmed.

No need to submit it anywhere.

“Can I sign here?”

“yes?”

In front of Serine with her eyes wide open, she picked up her pen.

The rest of the items were already written by Serine, so all I had to do was sign it.

“Are you okay?”

As she held out the signed document to the front, Serine had a bewildered expression on her face.

“I really… Did you sign it?”

“I saw you sign it.”

“Really, break up your engagement, are you going to do it?”

Serine looked at me in disbelief.

“While I’ve been so stubborn all this time… … .”

“Are you dissatisfied?”

“The complaint is… but not.”

“Okay then.”

I handed the papers to Serene.

“This is what broke your engagement.”

“… … .”

As she accepted the papers to break the engagement, Serine had a puzzled expression on her face.

But I was cool.

‘This eliminated the first hazard.’

Serine is the one who took the life of Ernas in the novel.

It was a risk factor that I had to take the fastest action to survive in this world.

‘Even so, Serine has always hated Ernas. If I’m going to survive, I’d rather end my relationship with Serine quickly.’

Ernas in the novel was obsessed with Serine, but it has nothing to do with me possessed by Ernas.

If you stay engaged to Serine, you can get caught up in various troubles and get in the way of surviving safely in this world.

It is right to exclude these risk factors from the beginning.

‘While excluding risk factors as much as possible… You should use this ring to build up your strength.’

I stared at the ring ‘Uslecht’ that I was wearing on my finger.

It’s not enough to play a genius, but being able to imitate other people’s abilities is definitely a big advantage.

It was sure to be of great help to me in surviving in this world.

‘Besides, I… Because I am a writer of this world.’

I am the author who created this world.

I have a lot of settings in my head, and I know what will happen to this world in the future.

Using that knowledge to the fullest, you must find a way to survive as Ernas.

‘That’s the only way I can survive.’

With a body with no talent, surrounded by numerous dangers, she has to survive in a world without a protagonist.

So, you have to use artifacts that can imitate your talents, remove risk factors quickly, and make the most of your knowledge as a writer.

Otherwise… I will die like Ernas in the novel.

‘So this is the end of our relationship, Serene.’

To be honest, there was a feeling of regret.

Because Serine was one of my favorite characters.

Like the story in the novel, it would be nice to partner with Serine and solve all kinds of cases… difficult situation.

It’s better to just keep your distance than to be hated by Serene for nothing.

I came to that conclusion.

“This is the end of our relationship, Serene.”

“Ah yes… … .”

“Let’s shake hands one last time.”

Looking at Serine with a still trembling expression on her face, I held out my hand.

“It makes me feel bad for having been obsessed with me all this time and suddenly showing such a cold expression.”

“what?”

“it’s nothing.”

Serine sighed and held out her hand.

“Still, thank you. For canceling the engagement.”

“I made a promise, but I have to keep it.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

We held hands and shook hands.

With this, the betrothal relationship with Serine was completely terminated.

and… … .

[Attempting to ‘imitate ability’ for the character ‘Serine Bastian’]

As I intended, Ernas’ ring ‘Uslecht’ began to copy Serine’s abilities.

This is because the condition for activation is direct contact with the opponent whose ability you want to copy.

‘If my memory is correct, Serine must have reached the current Bastian Knights Swordsmanship Rank A.’

Bastian Knight Swordsmanship.

It is an orthodox swordsmanship handed down from generation to generation in the Bastian family.

If the proficiency of the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship is A rank, it can be said that he has the highest level of skills as a freshman in the academy.

‘It’s impossible to completely copy A rank with Uslecht’s copy ability. However… It would be possible to copy it to the level of C rank.’

I took Serine’s hand as I reflected on Uslecht’s setting.

According to the novel, Serine’s swordsmanship ability will soon be replicated and reside in me.

But, it was then.

[The understanding of the artifact ‘Uslecht’ is 95%.]

[The potential ability of the artifact ‘Youthlecht’ is unlocked.]

[The artifact ‘Uslecht’ evolves from ‘Ability Imitation’ to ‘Ability Reproduction’.]

A strange message popped into my mind.

[Attempt to ‘reproduce ability’ for the character ‘Serine Bastian’.]

[The level of understanding of the character ‘Serine Bastian’ is 95%.]

[Judgment: Success]

[Acquire the main ability of the character ‘Serine Bastian’.]

[Successful in acquiring Bastian Knight Swordsmanship (Rank A).]

[Succeeded in acquiring Lorelian combat swordsmanship (Rank C).]

[Succeeded in acquiring Eastern Magical Technique (Rank B).]

Something I never expected was happening.
