5 Skills to become a swordsmanship genius (2)
‘Serine is clearly in a state of agitation.’
It’s not about looking at your face.
From the whole body of Serine, who is now posing as the standard of Bastian knight swordsmanship… gaps are occurring.
‘How did this happen?’
It’s not that your posture is wrong.
He was obviously in the same position as me, but I felt a gap.
‘ah!’
realized late.
To be precise, there was a gap in his gaze, not his body.
‘When I saw that I was taking the stance of a Bastian knight swordsman, I was embarrassed and my field of vision was narrowed.’
Originally, Serine can be attacked from any direction with a standard defensive move.
The attitude you are taking now is for that.
But now Serine is observing me with her eyes wide open, so her gaze processing is not working properly.
Even if I attack, the reaction will be delayed, so there is a high possibility that I will not be able to defend properly.
Gaze processing alone will create a gap in the perfect posture.
‘But how did I realize this?’
Like a skilled swordsman, he sees through the opponent’s gaps.
If you reach A rank in the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship, is this even possible?
‘No, this is not the influence of the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship.’
It has nothing to do with the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship.
Another swordsmanship copied from Serine… It is the influence of the C-rank of the Lorelian combat swordsmanship.
‘Lorelian combat swordsmanship was a Western-style swordsmanship.’
Western swordsmanship emphasizes anomalous tactics.
In particular, I think it is important to attack the gaps of the opponent.
‘My Lorelian combat swordsmanship is only at the level of C rank. It’s just that I can’t see through Serine’s gaps. However… … .’

My Bastian Knights Swordsmanship is Rank A.As Lorelian’s combat swordsmanship was combined with Bastian Knight’s swordsmanship, he was able to see through the gaps in Serine’s Bastian Knights swordsmanship.
This was something I didn’t expect.
‘Even Serine couldn’t have reached this level. Why am I possible?’
Combining swordsmanship and swordsmanship to create a synergistic effect.
This is definitely a concept that existed in my novels.
But to do this, you have to reach a fairly high level.
Even the main characters in the novel could only do it after the middle part.
A deep understanding of swordsmanship is required.
‘no way… … .’
A hypothesis popped into my mind.

Many of the various swordsmanship philosophies that exist in this world were invented while I was writing novels.Of course, I was an ordinary novelist who had never learned swordsmanship.
So, they are all fake philosophies made up by delusions in the brain.
However… … .
‘This is the world I envisioned.’
This world was created by me as a novelist.
then… In this world, the swordsmanship philosophies I thought of were acting as a single truth.
‘Nonsense.’
If this hypothesis is correct, then I will be in a state where I have already attained the level of swordsmanship in the past.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has reached the level of swordsmanship, as it is still under-level in terms of technology and magical power… … .
‘I came to this world with the knowledge to become a swordsman genius.’

My heart raced.The privilege given to me in this world was not just the ability to copy.
“Haab!”
At that time, Serine, who was constantly looking for opportunities, moved one step ahead.
The posture itself is perfect. However, there are still gaps in the gaze processing.
“… … !”
Pak!
With her mouth firmly shut, she struck Serine’s wooden sword.
The speed and speed are excellent. But it wasn’t an attack I couldn’t stop.
“Oh oh!”
With just a moment’s workshop, there was a burst of exclamation all around.
This is a battle between Bastian Knights Swordsmanship Rank A.
It will be an eye-opener for new students who have a knack for swordsmanship.
“Ugh… … !”
Serine clenched her teeth and attacked again.
I kept my cool and accepted it all.
Of course, it wasn’t just defense.
By maximizing Bastian Knight’s swordsmanship, he launched an attack equal to that of Serine.
‘While making a regular move… … .’
Numerous technologies flashed through my mind.
There was no need to select them one by one. Bastian Knight Swordsmanship Rank A reflexively chose the most accurate technique.
‘Digging through the gaps!’
Serine, driven into a corner, sensed that she was trying to unfold the vertical trinity, the representative technique of the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship.
Because Serine wasn’t in perfect condition, she revealed it to me.
Papa Pat!
All three of Serine’s strikes were blocked.
It was because Serine’s vertical trinity, which was full of gaps, was completely offset by the vertical trinity that I unfolded.
“… … !”
Serene is shocked.
I could feel the gaps being added to the gaps.
‘If you hit it with the same technique at the right time, you can maximize the opponent’s agitation.’
This is the tactic that the original main character Akandel learned in the middle.
In the process of learning this tactic, Akandel had to experience a painful defeat.
But I don’t need that process.
Because I have already come to this world with that realization.
‘I already know that there should not be any delay here.’
Without hesitation, he thrust his wooden sword into the large gap.
Immediately after hearing the dull sound, the wooden sword Serine was holding was thrown high into the sky.

The battle ended with Ernas’ victory.
Seeing Ernas surrounded by cheers from many people, Serine bit her lip.

My wrist, which had just been hit by a neck sword, was tingling.‘Have you been hiding your skills in front of me until now?’
Obviously, up until now, Ernas wasn’t at that level of skill.
Even if Serine applied for a match, she avoided it by giving all kinds of excuses, and she used a trick in the entrance exam without anyone else’s knowledge.
It was clear that he was a ‘fake genius’ who was just bluffing, but why… … .
‘Even the Bastian Knights were learning swordsmanship… … !’
Serene swallowed her tears.
It was really disgraceful that Serine, a native of Bastian, was defeated by Ernas with the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship.
‘No, more than that… … .’
There is nothing more shameful than losing to Ernas with the Bastian Knights Swordsmanship.
The part to be truly ashamed of is that we lost to Ernas, whom we had been underestimating for so long.
He didn’t have the ability to properly grasp the opponent’s capabilities, but he was determined and looked down on him as an opponent he could easily win.
This was something Serine should be truly ashamed of.
‘Really, he was an arrogant, self-centered man.’
Originally, Serine hated Ernas because she was an arrogant and self-centered person.
But did Serine have the right to criticize Ernas so much?
‘I… You have to apologize to Ernas.’
The person Serine canceled her engagement to… He was never a matchmaker.
* * *
“It’s also Ernas-sama!”
“You have such excellent swordsmanship!”
“How can you use the swordsmanship of the Bastian family so well?”
“As expected, heir to the 6th master swordsmanship… What a great talent!”
Hearing the cheers around him, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.
When I hit Serine’s Vertical Trinity, my stamina had reached its limit.
After all, it seemed that Serine had the upper hand in pure physical ability.
‘Ernas, this guy, do some physical training.’
I exhaled harshly.
But it felt good.
‘Somehow I don’t know… My heart is sad.’
As a writer, I feel like I couldn’t feel it when I was only writing novels.
I had no idea that swinging a sword with all my might would feel so good.
Just knowing this feeling made me feel that there is meaning in coming to this world.
‘Yeah, like this… You have to keep getting stronger.’
It does not stop at just copying and imitating other people’s swordsmanship.
You have to sublimate it to one level and become stronger than anyone else.
Because I have that skill.
‘If I had the skills to become a swordsmanship genius… I will truly become a swordsmanship genius.’
In the novel, Ernas changes the fate of Ernas, who was a fake genius, and becomes a real genius.
This is the path I will take in the future.
