The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy chapter 28

28 Preparing to Defeat Episode (2)

During the outdoor survival training, the yellow class 3 and green class 4 pincers took a lot of damage.

Hearing that, I slowly opened my mouth.

“Gort Waldfeld and Werisrize Schreier were allies from the start.”

“… … !”

Serine and Schmidt looked surprised.

Chloe, meanwhile, nodded as expected.

“It was, too. It wasn’t like an alliance that was built up overnight.”

“It’s not a coincidence, it’s an alliance for their own interests.”

I said, reflecting on the contents of the novel.

“Gort and Berrysri also think they lack competitiveness.”

“Are you talking about compared to the successors of other swordsmiths?”

“right.”

A prodigy in the blue class 2 and a gifted in class 5 in white.

Compared to these two, Gort and Berrisrize lack individual competence.

Red Class 1 Rufus can fight against each other somehow, but Rufus has the strength of his father being an academy professor.

To resist them, they joined hands.

“Now, since Leicester from Class 5 in White has been eliminated, that guy from Class 2 in Blue has come to rule as the first class. Gort and Berrisrize have no choice but to fight together.”

With the exception of me, the current academy is one of two weak spots.

It was a reasonable strategy to join hands with Gort and Berrisrize, who are the two drugs.

“Ernas-sama, they are wary of not only the blue class prodigy, but also Ernas-sama.”

Schmitz said with an angry expression.

“The reason they focused their attacks on us in this training must have been their purpose to inflict damage on Ernas-sama.”

“Yeah, when I get back, it’s going to be trouble if the Black Class 6 is full of wounded people.”

“After all, I also injured my ankle… shit!”

Schmitz currently sprains his ankle.

Combat utilizing his main specialty, speed, became impossible.

“I have become like this too.”

Chloe sighed as she showed the bandage on her wrist.

“It’s not that I can’t wield a sword at all, but… … .”

“Shut up. If you move carelessly in a state that has not fully recovered, it could be prolonged.”

Even at the beginning of Graduate, you can use your magic power to speed up your recovery.

However, the two had not yet reached that level.

“Both of you, refrain from activities and prioritize recovery.”

“yes… … .”

“All right.”

Schmidts and Chloe should not be thought of as forces.

Only Viola, who is not here right now, and Serine, who has hardly any injuries, will be the only strength.

“Ernas, there is a large-scale training with six classes participating at the same time in a week.”

“Yeah, it’s a serious battle.”

serious battle.

It is a training in the form of taking and taking away six positions.

Each class must defend its own position and attack and capture the other positions.

Classes with excellent records are given an Elixir.

“Then there is a high probability that the yellow three and the green four will focus on us.”

“There are still a lot of wounded people.”

According to the description in the novel, the positions of the yellow 3 and green 4 positions are easy to attack the black 6 groups.

“and… Gort and Berisrize will focus their attack on Ernas.”

Serine said with a serious expression.

“However, we will make sure that there is no two-to-one match. I will protect Ernas by my side so that she does not get attacked.”

“No, you don’t have to.”

“yes?”

“Gort and Berrisrize will face each other alone.”

“… … !”

Serine, as well as Schmidt and Chloe, looked surprised.

“Ernas-sama, is it possible?”

“Neither of them are good opponents. It’s better to fight with Serine-sama… … .”

“Serine needs to focus on keeping her position. There are a lot of wounded, so Serine’s role is important.”

I looked at Serine and said.

“Serine, keep your position thoroughly while leading the other students.”

“In the meantime, are you saying that you are going to defeat Gort and Berisrize?”

“Yeah, I can’t even take care of the defense of the entire camp while dealing with them.”

Serine’s ability to watch and command the entire battlefield is better.

This is a part that cannot be copied to Uslecht, so it is best to leave it to Serine.

“Okay, Ernas.”

Serine nodded her head with a serious expression.

“I’ll take care of the rest so you can take down those two with peace of mind.”

There was determination in her voice.

late night.

I swung my wooden sword at the training ground next to the dormitory.

I practiced with a true sword in the jinbeol-dong, but I had to use a wooden sword in the camp battle.

Therefore, it was necessary to get used to using a wooden sword again.

‘After all, a wooden sword is not suitable for swordsmanship.’

The training wooden sword is magically strengthened.

The blade does not stand still, and even if it collides with a true sword, it will not break easily.

However, it is not suitable for flowing magic power to form a sword.

‘The weapons in the basement of the punishment dong responded well to the sword.’

Still, it’s not that the sword itself can’t be made.

It can make enough swordsmanship to take a person’s life.

The efficiency just drops a lot.

‘I hope to be permitted to use the sword as soon as possible.’

If you pass the 2nd exam to be ‘promoted’, you will be permitted to use the Jingeom.

If it was a Graduate who used swordsmanship, it would be possible to cut people with a wooden sword, so the regulation of true swords would be meaningless.

“Ernas.”

“… … ?”

Then Serine’s voice was heard.

Serine with a wooden sword was walking out of the dormitory.

“You haven’t slept yet?”

“I can’t sleep.”

Saying that, Serine looked into my eyes.

“If it’s okay, can I join you?”

“You don’t have to ask me for permission.”

“thank you.”

Serine took a stance and unfolded her sword with a wooden sword.

I could see that he had reached the beginning of the gradient.

“Serene, is there anyone other than you in the black class 6 who has mastered swordsmanship?”

“It’s still just me. Still, Chloe and Schmidt seemed to be able to do it sooner or later.”

“Right. In the other class?”

“In Yellow Class 3, Gort was wearing a sword. Berith Rize in the green class 4 is still… … .”

After all, Gort has already reached the level of grade-eight.

If it was like a novel, it would have secured a considerable amount of magical power.

‘Gort is a power-oriented northern style swordsman… It won’t be easy to get that guy’s Waldfeld heavy swordsmanship.’

Gort has very good innate physical abilities.

If I use Waldfeld’s heavy sword technique while strengthening my muscles with magical power, I can’t take it with my own strength.

As Yoles pointed out, my body is still weaker than others.

‘And, Berrysri is not a good opponent.’

Berithrize uses the ultra-high-speed Shreière three swordsmanship.

When it comes to stabbing attacks, he has the most outstanding ability among the successors of the six great swordsmanship masters.

Even if it hasn’t reached the grade level yet, it’s a threat enough.

‘However… … .’

I grabbed the wooden sword and deployed my magic.

As the white light spread, a black spirit was formed.

‘With my own strength, I will be able to defeat both of them.’

Seeing my sword, Serine swallowed her breath.

He was surprised at the level of perfection that was not inferior to his sword skill, or even surpassed his own sword skill.

“Ernas, when did you… … .”

“There wasn’t much to do in Jiongbeol-dong.”

“Did you practice swordsmanship in the punishment dong? Possession of a wooden sword would never have been allowed.”

Serine’s point of view was sharp.

“How did you do it?”

“Well, I’ll leave it to your imagination.”

“Really, an incredible person.”

As before, Serine scolded me.

But there was no hostility.

“Then Serene, may I ask you for a plate? There was no one to fight against in Jiongbeol-dong.”

“I know. I will be your opponent.”

Serine took the basic stance of the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship.

However, he immediately changed his stance.

It was a posture with one arm and one leg outstretched like fencing.

“Is it Berrislyze?”

“Yes, Gort’s Waldfeld heavy swordsmanship would be meaningless if I tried to imitate it.”

Serine was reproducing the Shreière Swordsmanship of Berithrize.

“It’s just imitation, but… Can’t you help?”

“No, it will help.”

Even if it’s just imitation, if it’s Serine’s skill, it’s enough to be a practice partner.

“Then I will ask you.”

“yes!”

While smiling slightly, Serine launched a stab attack like Berrys Rize.

* * *

Green class 4’s swordsmanship practice time.

Berithrize, who was wielding a sword at the training ground, pricked her ears at the sound she heard nearby.

“Professor Yols, Ernas is already back?”

“It’s in the middle of practice, Berrisrize.”

As Berrys Rize approached, Yoles, who was talking to the instructor, scolded him in a hard voice.

But it wasn’t Berrys Rize who was intimidated by such things.

“I heard something else happened.”

“Ernas did not cause the problem. Rather, Ernas is the victim.”

“victim?”

“I cannot speak with my mouth. Let your family hear it later.”

“I don’t know what you mean.”

Berrys Rize grumbled as she ruffled her golden hair.

“Then, I’m going to participate in the serious battle that will be held soon.”

“right. Then you will be able to see your face.”

“Hey, didn’t you say you really wanted to see the man’s face?”

“… … ?”

“Uh, anyway.”

After coughing, Verisrize spoke to Yols again.

“I’ve been wanting to ask you for a while, but in your opinion, how is Ernas’ ability? You are also in charge of the black class 6 swordsmanship lecture, right?”

“Do you really need to ask me? I think Ernas’s skills are already well-known.”

“I can’t believe the rumors. I believe only what I have seen with my own eyes.”

Berrys Rize frowned and said.

“Especially Ernas Landsstein… If it has anything to do with the scammer.”

“He’s a swindler.”

“They said they defeated Rufus Ignias and Lester Lancaster, but to be honest, it’s hard to believe. It must have been some kind of trickery.”

“Hmm… … .”

Yoles stroked his chin.

“Certainly, it’s hard to say that you won with pure skill. Depending on your point of view, you could say you cheated.”

“Yes? Also, that man… … .”

“But deception is also part of swordsmanship after all.”

“yes?”

“Berisrize, don’t think that only swinging your sword at the enemy in front of you is a swordsmanship.”

“… … ?”

“Because the battle of swordsmanship has begun even before we met each other face to face.”

Berrys Rize frowned.

“Is it philosophical? I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in talking about floating clouds like that.”

“Take it as a tactical thing, Berrys Rize.”

Yoles responded without changing his expression.

“Don’t you also deceive others by mixing paints when you fight them? Think of it as doing it right before the swords collide. Sometimes this has a bigger impact on the game.”

“Hmm, then, if I don’t fall for Ernas’ trick, I’ll win. My skills will be better.”

“It means that cheating is also part of your skill, Berris Rize.”

Looking at Berrys Rize, Yoles smiled bitterly.

“But, if you have confidence in yourself, it would be good to believe in it and challenge Ernas. It will be a great experience.”

“… It’s like saying that Ernas will win.”

“It’s not like that. Whatever the outcome, I think it will be a good experience for you.”

Yoles shrugged.

“When we met Ernas yesterday, we had similar conversations before we broke up.”

“Have you met Ernas?”

“Yeah, I talked about Gort with you.”

“Well, then… Did Ernas say anything special? About me… … .”

Berrys Rize asked, stuttering.

Then Yoles tilted his head.

“Well. Nothing special… ah.”

“What is it? what about me… … .”

“No, it has nothing to do with you.”

In front of Berrisrize, who had a disappointing expression on his face, Yoles said, stroking his chin.

“Before we parted, we shook hands, but strangely, they held my hand and wouldn’t let it go. That was a bit odd.”
