The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy chapter 89

Episode

89 Tyrant from the North (1)

Whoops!

With a loud thunder, my sword shattered Brantley’s skill.

Agrippa’s Absolute Swordsmanship’s ‘The Crux’ is a high-speed, exquisite four-shot technique.

If you dig into the middle with a sword that is not so strong, continuous attacks will not continue properly.

This is because when the sword and the sword collide, the sword has no choice but to bounce off.

So my sword stretched out without hesitation, and the tip of the sword finally reached Brantley’s chest.

But my sword did not mortally wound Brantley.

It wasn’t just because Brantley’s self-defense was so strong.

My sword… Because it was breaking.

“… … .”

Tutuk.

Like old things crumbling, the blade broke and fell to the floor.

A proper sword can penetrate even Brantley’s self-defense, but if the sword itself is broken like this, it can’t do any damage.

In the end, I had no choice but to withdraw my sword while recovering my magic.

“I lost.”

Raising her wet hair from the rain, she spoke briefly.

“I lost my weapon.”

“No, Ernas.”

Brantley said in a cold voice.

“My sword is a famous sword made by a first-class craftsman in the Supert workshop. On the other hand, your sword is an ordinary sword given to an academy student.”

“… … .”

“If we had swapped swords, your sword would have pierced my chest.”

Saying so, Brantley lowered his sword.

“You can call it your victory.”

“No, Brantley.”

I denied Brantley’s words.

“Brantley didn’t even try his best. Meanwhile, with all my might, I faced Brantley.”

“I felt alive.”

Brantley said in a calm voice.

“But, I also unleashed a skill that could harm your life against you.”

“Isn’t it because you were sure I could get it?”

“They will be the same.”

That was correct.

Because I never thought I’d be able to kill Brantley with my attack.

“If that’s the case, let’s assume it was a draw.”

“tie… … .”

“Are you dissatisfied?”

“no.”

I shook my head.

“It’s an honor to draw with Brantley-sama.”

“You’re talking nonsense.”

Saying so, Brantley smiled bitterly.

It was a bittersweet smile, but it was the first time he had seen Brantley smiling.

How was it in the novel? … .

“Ernas.”

“Yes, Brantley.”

Brantley, who returned with a cold expression, suddenly asked a question at me.

“Is it true that you are trying to dismantle the 6th Great Swordsmanship?”

“… … .”

I was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Right.”

A moment of silence passed.

Brantley stared at me in the face and slowly opened his mouth.

“I admit that there are problems with the existing swordsmanship master system.”

“… … .”

“Look at the Lancaster family. I thought I would be eliminated from the competition, so I showed all sorts of ugliness to overturn the board.”

Brantley’s voice was cold.

“It’s not just the Lancaster family. The other stanzas are no different. Not only the swordsmiths with the title of Duke, but also the families of the lower ranks.”

“… … .”

“It is necessary to reform the old feudal society and establish a more rational system. On that point, I am of the same opinion as you.”

Feudalism must be reformed.

Brantley had the same thoughts as me on this point.

“But you need absolute authority to make this happen.”

“… … .”

“It is true that when you ascend to the position of Grand Duke of Lichtenauer, your rank rises higher than other master swordsmen. But that alone is not enough. Even if His Majesty the next emperor will give the Archduke Lichtenauer the utmost power.”

Brantley said, looking intently at me.

“Ernas, are you confident?”

“… … .”

“As long as the other families obey your orders without any objection… I have the confidence to become a great swordsman.”

To Brantley’s question, I slowly opened my mouth to answer.

“It seems difficult to give a clear answer right now as to how far I can reach.”

“… … .”

“But, let me be clear.”

I said looking straight at Brantley.

“If there are any who stand in my way in the future, I will surely break them.”

Whether it’s the 6th Great Swordsmanship Garden, or the Heukcheon Magic Bridge… it doesn’t matter who

If there are people who threaten my path, I will break them with my own strength.

In order to survive as Ernas Landsstein in this world, this is absolutely necessary.

“Right.”

Brantley nodded slowly.

“If you don’t give up on that idea, we’re going to clash again in the future.”

“Should it crash?”

“If you are going to disband the 6th Great Sword Mastery, it will be inevitable.”

Saying so, Brantley smiled bitterly.

“It is true that we think reform is necessary. But as head of state, I have a duty to protect the Agrippa.”

“… … .”

“so… First, we need to stop you from becoming Grand Duke of Lichtenauer. Heinrich will take the place of Archduke Lichtenauer.”

Now, like I did, Heinrich is going out and building a track record.

Right now I am leading, but Heinrich has a chance to turn around.

“From now on, the Agrippa family will support Heinrich in earnest.”

“okay.”

“You are currently unable to receive the support of the Landsstein family.”

In the novel, Ernas was able to ignore the headmaster and act independently because the Lanzstein family were unable to engage in outside activities.

Now, I also had no separate contact with the Landsstein family.

“It will not be easy for you to overcome alone.”

“I am prepared.”

“Right. i get it.”

In fact, from my point of view, there was nothing I could do other than prepare myself.

It was around this time that Brantley began to support Heinrich in earnest in the novel.

“Then I will go. It’s late at night, so get some rest.”

“Yes, good-bye.”

“and.”

Brantley handed me the sword he was holding in his hand.

“Use it instead of a broken sword.”

“yes?”

“Because it was broken in Dalian, which I requested.”

This was unexpected, so I was a little perplexed.

“My sword was an ordinary sword given to students by the academy. But if you give me a famous sword made by a first-class craftsman in Supert’s workshop… … .”

“There are a lot of black ones like this in their hometown.”

“… … .”

After thinking for a while, he took the sword.

In fact, it was a situation in which a new sword worthy of a higher grade was needed.

“All right. thank you.”

“Make it good.”

After saying those words, Brantley left immediately.

As if there was nothing more to share with me now, with unstoppable steps.

“… … .”

Watching Brantley’s back view as he drifted away, I looked at the newly acquired sword.

It was definitely much better than the sword he had been using until now when he sent out the magic as a test.

‘It’s an unexpected harvest.’

This match against Brantley was very fruitful.

I was able to test the strength of the advanced grades, and I was able to master the swordsmanship by developing the calecius spear sword technique one step further.

Plus, I got a new weapon… It was a very rewarding time for me.

‘It would have been better if I could get a new sword from Brantley.’

Unfortunately, the 12-day penalty that occurred when he obtained the black magic crafting technique from Arteklas was not over.

That’s why he couldn’t get the sword from Brantley.

‘Anyway, with this… Are you ready?’

I remembered the content of the novel.

If my predictions are correct, there will be a major event in the near future.

The entire West is in chaos, and it is an event that causes considerable casualties.

This time, I have to deal with the incident with the power I have acquired.

* * *

Northern Empire.

A harsh land where the climate is cold and large monsters often appear.

The most powerful in this area is the Waldfeld family, one of the six master swordsmen.

However, these days the Waldfeld family is not in a good mood.

This is because Caju’s younger sister, Theodora Waldfeld, the second-in-law of the family, had a mysterious death in the West.

“Is Mikhail still locked up in the tower these days?”

“Yes, you are away from people.”

“ttt, I thought you would come out when I finished my expedition.”

Hearing the vassal’s answer, Joneez Waldfeld clicked his tongue.

Yones was the cousin of Mikhail Waldfeld, the head of the household, and was a talented person who had reached the advanced grades.

“I think the death of Sister Theodora was really shocking.”

“Because you trusted me a lot. It was to the extent that Theodora-sama was completely entrusted with supporting Gort-sama… … .”

It has been a long time since the funeral was over.

It was never desirable for the headmaster to remain in such a reclusive state.

“I can’t. I need to tell you something.”

“But, the Lord says he will not meet anyone.”

“Are you really not dating anyone?”

“Yes, except for the monks who have been staying in the tower for a while now… … .”

“Are you a monk?”

“I don’t know the details, but it is said that the Lord comforted the Lord at Theodora-sama’s funeral.”

“… … ?”

Yoneth tilted her head.

Mikhail was not particularly interested in religion.

Is it possible to heal the wounds of the heart with the preaching method of a monk?

“It bothers me a bit. I will have to tell you myself.”

“Yones-sama, but… … .”

“it’s okay. I don’t think Mikhail will break my head either.”

Mikhail is the tyrant of the North.

Because of the environment, northerners tend to be more harsh than people from other regions, but Mikhail was very extreme.

It was a man named Mikhail who, if anything bothered him, pulled out a knife and smashed people’s heads.

“Once I enter the tower, wait.”

“Ah, Yones-sama… … !”

Yoneth approached the towering tower in the middle of the castle.

Mikhail will be quietly reclusive at the top of the tower.

“If you are in the middle of closing practice, you should come out soon.”

While muttering like that, Yoneth tried to open the door of the tower.

However, before Yoneth could even touch the door, the door swung open.

“… … !”

Yoneth stepped back, startled, and an older man appeared inside.

Brown hair stretched out like a lion.

Wide shoulders and thick chest muscles.

Eyes like a beast looking for prey.

It was Mikhail Waldfeld, just as he remembered it.

‘Good luck.’

Yoneth sighed in relief.

It was because he was worried inside that Mikhail would become emaciated because of his brother’s death.

Contrary to what was feared, Mikhail maintained the most manly figure of Waldfeld.

“Brother, are you okay now?”

“… … .”

Mikhail’s large eyes turned to Yoneth’s face.

And slowly opened his mouth.

“Can it be okay?”

“… … !”

Yoneth reflexively shrugged.

Because there was a clear anger in his cousin’s voice.

As usual, whenever Mikhail spoke in a voice like that, several heads of people around him would be broken.

“Theodora’s foe is still alive, there’s no way it’ll be okay.”

“Tongue, brother, what do you mean by that?”

Preparing to defend the head, Yoneth said cautiously.

“Sister Theodora was attacked by a monster in the Great Western Labyrinth… … .”

“Is that possible?”

“yes?”

“Theodora was beaten by Ernas Landsstein.”

“… … !”

Yoneth also heard that Ernas was involved in Theodora’s death.

However, there was no possibility that Ernas had killed Theodora.

How can a student who has only been in the academy for a few months kill Theodora, a senior grader?

“Brother, the Academy’s own investigation concluded that he was killed by a monster… … .”

“Do you believe that?”

“yes?”

“The academy is all about the same thing.”

“… … !”

Yoneth was perplexed.

Mikhail’s voice was full of conviction.

Did you get any new evidence?

‘How the hell… … .’

Then a woman appeared over Mikhail’s shoulder.

He was wearing a robe-shaped monk’s robe, but he was wearing a hood, so his face was hard to see.

‘That woman, a monk who comforted Mikhail… … ?’

As Yoneth felt an unknown anxiety, Mikhail spoke again.

“Yones, I will go west.”

“Are you going to the West? Maybe in the Western Great Labyrinth… … .”

“No, I’m going to the academy.”

“To the academy?”

“I was accused of fabricating the autograph of my sister Theodora… … .”

Something strange is going on.

Feeling anxious, Yoneth swallowed his saliva.

“With my Waldfeld gold sword technique, I will directly kill Ernas Landsstein.”

Behind Mikhail, who was exposed to a terrifying life, a woman in black was smiling.
