The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy chapter 80

A practice partner who doesn’t need to watch episode 80 (2)

Whik!

A pounding sound echoed in the dark forest.

Now I was swinging my sword in all directions without deploying my sword.

‘feel so good.’

As I continued to swing my sword, I felt satisfied.

The current me did not rely on a specific swordsmanship to wield a sword.

He was just swinging his sword as he wanted.

Even so, there were some pretty plausible moves.

‘I guess I’m growing up myself.’

I’m not just imitating other people’s swordsmanship.

Combining several swordsmanships to create synergistic effects, or to evolve swordsmanship that was in an unfinished state.

As he continues to pioneer new areas, his skills as a swordsman are also improving.

‘Someday I might be able to create my own swordsmanship.’

As I thought about it, I immediately smiled bitterly.

In this world, swordsmanship is completed over several generations in a specific family.

It is because of this tradition that the name of the family is given to the swordsmanship name.

Occasionally, there are people who complete their swordsmanship by themselves, but this is possible only for top-notch swordsmen like Yols and Angela.

So, making my own swordsmanship was something that was only possible in the future.

‘Even Arcandel, the protagonist of the novel, could not create his own original swordsmanship. I just completed and used Callesius Spear Swordsmanship independently.’

But, if I create my own original swordsmanship… Maybe it means that even the protagonist of the novel has surpassed it.

I suddenly had a thought.

“Whew… … .”

Wiping the sweat from my forehead, I leaned my back against a nearby tree.

And while pretending to take a break, he stretched his magic power around him.

‘You have finally completed the siege.’

Magical power was felt everywhere in the forest.

Everyone was hiding their presence well, but I have Attilion’s magic detection technique.

Even a guy who is good at stealth can’t hide his magic.

“… … .”

However, I stretched out pretending not to notice at all.

And after yawning once, he started swinging his sword again.

“Haab!”

He still swung his sword as he wished.

It was quite enjoyable to see how my body moved.

While doing so, he didn’t forget to stretch his magical powers around him and check their positions.

‘Slowly… Are you coming?’

The gossips centered on Belid Andrews.

They took advantage of the darkness to narrow the siege.

The moment I show a gap, they will move in unison and attack me.

‘then… Shall I show you the gaps?’

I wiped the sweat from my forehead with my left hand.

His right hand was drooping, and he deliberately showed a defenseless figure.

It was then that the rustling sound was heard.

“… … !”

Guys ran out from all sides.

Everyone’s movements were inconsistent. He seemed to be breathing very well.

‘Did you even practice beforehand?’

It was an exquisite feat.

While I block the one from the front, the ones from the rear and the side will stab my blind spot.

‘If I hadn’t been prepared for anything, I might have been hit.’

However, I was already ready.

I push the magic energy I have gathered in my right hand towards the blade… deployed a sword.

“oh… … !”

I could tell they were nervous.

Still, no one stepped back.

Even if one or two people get hurt, you’re probably thinking that you can subdue me in the meantime.

However… That’s a bad idea.

‘Calecius Spear Swordsmanship, Type IV.’

Equation 1, lightning.

Equation 2, Moore(舞雷).

Equation 3, Jaroe (刺雷).

Up to this point, these are skills that even Yols knows.

But from now on, it’s a technique only I know.

‘Pylon (鞭雷)… … !’

Break up!

The sword spread while generating sparks.

It was similar to the one that Angela had shown me, but it wasn’t as flimsy as Angela’s one.

It was a real whip-like single sword with proper elasticity.

“… … ?!”

As the blue black flag wriggling like a whip flew in, the guy who was running from the front opened his eyes wide.

“Uh… … !”

As the sword ran through his arm, his skin ripped to pieces and blood spurted out.

But, it wasn’t the end of the guy alone.

He used the snap of his wrist to move the blue whip.

Just like the real whip, the speed at the tip of the blue sword was insanely fast.

“Great!”

“100 million… … !”

Whirlik!

A blue whip swept around in an instant.

It would have taken a little longer if I had swung my sword one by one, and in the meantime, one of them might have stabbed me in the blind spot.

‘great.’

👌👌👌👌👌

After confirming that the last one’s thighs were bursting, I pulled out the single sword.

When I looked around, everyone had their arms and legs torn apart.

‘It looks like you’ve been attacked by a real whip.’

The feeling was different from the wounds cut by the knife.

This is because the tip of the sword was not sharpened.

However, if I practice a little more, I will be able to show sufficient cutting power even with a single sword.

‘Anyway, with this, I learned the fourth formula of Callesius Spear Swordsmanship.’

The 4th type of ‘flying lightning’ is a technique that got a hint from the single sword.

By stretching the blue sword like a whip, it will attack distant enemies or sweep away nearby enemies all at once.

Although the single sword is weak in power, it is less practical, but this weakness can be overcome by using the blue sword of the Callesius spear sword technique to spread the single sword.

‘This has a much wider range of tactics.’

Because it moves elastically without flinching, it is also possible to double the power by instantaneous acceleration at the tip like a real whip.

If you can control the sword more firmly and improve the cutting power, it will be possible to slaughter the enemy while stretching the sword like Angela’s Bertinsky black chain sword technique.

“Ugh, uh, Ernas… … !”

The last felled man raised his head.

I checked his face and it was Belid Andrews.

“Wow, did you notice our attack…? … ?”

“Of course I noticed.”

“Ugh… … !”

Not only Belid, but the other guys groaned as well.

He must have prepared thoroughly in his own way to surprise him, but having noticed it in advance, he would have had no choice but to explode.

“Well, by the way, what the hell is that swordsmanship?”

Belid asked while panting.

“To see the blue black flame wriggling like a whip and sweeping away the surroundings… I’ve never seen such swordsmanship. What kind of sword is it?”

“There is no reason to tell you that.”

“ね… … .”

I turned my head away from Belid.

I checked the other guys one by one, and they were all seriously injured.

Like Listel, this will require months of treatment outside the academy.

“It would have been nice to have passed the second test sooner than others, but this will put me far behind others.”

“… … !”

Everyone gasped at my poison.

“Do you want to know why you are like this?”

“Ugh!”

right then

Belid, who was lying in the background, rushed at me.

Taking advantage of the time I was looking elsewhere, he was trying to stab me in the back with a sword.

“Ugh?!”

“The reason is that you guys have completely misunderstood my capabilities.”

Belid’s sword didn’t hurt my body.

Because I was already in a state of self-defense.

It’s been a while since I reached the intermediate grade, so now I can handle self-defense quite skillfully.

“Hey, self-defense? How can a lower grade grade self-defense… … .”

“Yeah, you’re attacking me because you’re so brainy.”

“Great… … !”

I hit Belid’s right shoulder with the side of the knife.

Although he did not develop swordsmanship, his bones were crushed because he strengthened his muscles with magic.

“Wait, is it an intermediate grade grade?!”

Everyone was bewildered.

The intermediate grades they usually encounter are assistant professors at the academy.

Everyone was shocked to hear that I, who was only a student, had reached the intermediate grade.

“Eh, did you take a lot of elixir?”

“No, no matter how much elixir you eat, if you don’t achieve enlightenment, you can’t become an intermediate grade graduate… … .”

“Still, if it’s true that you just used self-defense, really… … .”

Everyone will regret it in their hearts, but it’s already too late.

They have already crossed a river of no return.

“… … .”

I turned my head to look at Belid again.

It was disastrous to see his thighs ripped and his shoulder blades smashed.

“It will take quite some time to recover. It will be difficult to return to the academy.”

“Ugh… … !”

“It’s self-sufficient.”

I didn’t feel any sympathy.

I got out of the woods by myself, not paying attention to them any longer.

I could hear a desperate cry behind me, but I didn’t care and walked towards the dormitory.

“Stop it, Ernas.”

However, there was a student who blocked me in front of the dormitory.

Appeared alone without any close friends… It was Berries.

“You must have noticed, Berrys Rize.”

“They have crawled under me, so they know the trend.”

Berrys Rize ruffled her golden hair and responded.

“Not a single wound, that’s great. After all, you have reached the intermediate grade.”

“… … .”

Unlike the guys I just had, Veris Rize saw through the fact that I had reached the intermediate grade.

“It would have been nice if I could have given them some advice.”

“why me?”

Berrys Rize shrugged.

“They are of low status, and they are looking towards me with dark eyes.”

“Did you?”

“If I become Grand Duke of Lichtenauer in the future, will you become my companion and take power? He seemed to be making such disgusting noises.”

“… … .”

I’m at a loss for words.

I didn’t even know about that.

“Ernas, what do you think as a fellow man?”

“Apart from male and female, it is not a particularly desirable way of thinking.”

“Hmm, okay?”

Berrys Rize looked at me in the face and said.

“It’s surprising that a guy who is trying to seize power by becoming the princess’s companion would say something like that.”

“There seems to be some misunderstanding.”

“misunderstanding? don’t take the shichimi I know what you talked about with Rufus in the restaurant.”

She looked at me with sharp eyes.

“Ernas, it’s not going to go your way.”

“… … .”

“Didn’t you also ousted Professor Listeel this time? You seem to be taking a very reckless move… Don’t think that our Shreière family will only suffer like this.”

After exhaling, she turned her back on me.

“You will never become Grand Duke of Lichtenauer and marry the Princess, so don’t even dream of it.”

“… … .”

Berrys Rize left his last words and left.

Looking back, I sighed.

‘I have no intention of marrying the princess.’

Just because I become Grand Duke of Lichtenauer doesn’t mean I have to marry the Princess.

You should be engaged, but like me and Serine, you can go later and end the engagement.

‘The reason I am trying to resurrect Archduke Lichtenauer this time is because the princess is still only twelve years old. When the princess grows old and learns swordsmanship, the need for Archduke Lichtenauer may become unnecessary.’

If the emperor’s authority is stable, there is no need to marry the Archduke Lichtenauer.

It will be even more so if reforms to the centralized system are promoted.

‘Even a princess wouldn’t want to marry a guy she’s never seen before. Even the princess should have freedom of choice.’

Of course, this also applies to me.

I too should have freedom of choice.

When you reach the top of the Academy, you must marry the next emperor?

I don’t like that.

‘You shouldn’t say this to other people.’

Contrary to what I said to Rufus, this could work against me.

So, you shouldn’t be talking about this to Berrys Rize or anyone else.

‘It’s not important to me now who I will marry in the future.’

What is important to me is to survive the battles of the six great swordsmanship masters and gain the final victory.

Marriage is something you can think about later.

‘anyway… With this, Berrys Rize saved an hour.’

Berrysrize had threatened that the Schreiers would not stand still, but they would not be able to make any moves right now.

It took a little while for the Shreière family to start moving in earnest.

‘Then, the next thing to watch out for is… … .’

As I entered the dormitory, I reflected on the contents of the novel.

If my predictions are correct… It’s time for the man to show up.

* * *

one morning.

Several carriages arrived at the ‘main gate’ to enter the Lichtenauer Swordsmanship Academy.

The instructors guarding the main gate were bewildered by the unannounced visitors.

“Who are you!”

In response to the instructors’ questions, a tall man with sharp eyes came forward.

Although not glamorous, he was wearing a robe full of dignity, so he could tell that he was a noble aristocrat.

“From the house of Agrippa.”

“Ah, House Agrippa?!”

One of the six great swordsmiths, the Agrippa family.

His successor, Heinrich Agrippa, is currently attending the Academy.

“Tell it to Principal Aldbout.”

The tall man said in a cold voice.

“The head of the Agrippa family, Brantley Agrippa, is here.”

“… … !”

Southern strongest grade.

Duke Brantley Agrippa, an elite swordsman who was given the title of ‘Blue Moon Sword’ by the emperor, appeared at the Academy.
