If you win, I will hand over the position of representative of the Black 6th class.
At that suggestion, Schmitz widened his eyes and was bewildered.
“Dae, are you going to hand over your position as representative?”
“Yes, Schmidt.”
“Uh, how… … .”
“It reminded me of yesterday when I was fighting with Serine for the representative position, and I was watching closely. Aren’t you interested in a representative position?”
“… … !”
“If I couldn’t participate in the representative election because I couldn’t raise my hand at that time… I don’t think this opportunity should be missed.”
Schmidt was perplexed.
This clash with me from the first day was because it was far from Schmitz’s plan.
‘I have no reason to respect your plan, Schmidt.’
I had no intention of dragging on a tense relationship with Schmitz.
As long as you have already secured the means to subdue Schmitz, it is right to solve it quickly and move on to the next step.
Because the child procrastinating could end up clashing with Schmidt on conditions that are unfavorable to me.
‘You want to observe my skills more, but I already know all of your skills.’
So, it ends here.
In this place where all students are watching… Me and Schmitz, it should be clear which side is above.
So that Schmitz can’t compete in the future.
“Ernas-sama, I… … .”
Schmidt, completely lost in control, stuttered and tried to say something.
But then there was a voice that intervened.
“Ernas, this is difficult.”
Annerize, the black class 6 instructor, was approaching this way.
“I should have said that it is not a battle of victory or defeat.”
“Instructor Annerize… … .”
Schmidt looked slightly relieved.
However… … .
“So, if you’re going to have a duel, make sure you set the win-lose conditions properly.”
“Did you say duel?”
“The Lichtenauer Swordsman Academy recognizes duels. Of course, it shouldn’t be a life-and-death trade-off.”
In this academy, there is a system where disputes are resolved through duels.
If they agree with each other, they can compete for the representative position.
“Okay, Instructor.”
I looked around, speaking in a calm voice.
All of a sudden, all the students stopped competing and were paying attention to us.
“Would it be okay if the first person to make a valid hit wins?”
“If you want to win a game quickly, there are a lot of cases where you do it that way.”
Anneliese nodded and looked at Schmidt.
“Schmitz, is that a rule?”
“I… … .”
Schmidt looked around and bit his lip.
Perhaps Schmitz doesn’t want a fast-paced approach.
But now, because of us, other students’ competitions are not progressing, so it was difficult to come up with a different method.
‘But you can’t refuse a duel.’
Now Schmitz’s followers are looking at him with anticipation.
They are expecting their bosses to defeat the fake geniuses nicely.
Other students looking around are also watching with interest… You can’t back away
“Okay, I will.”
Eventually, Schmidt nodded, and cheers erupted around him.
It was the moment when I and Schmidt’s impromptu duel was realized, betting on the position of the representative of the Black 6th class.
* * *
‘Things are so twisted.’
With the practice wooden sword in hand, Schmidt clicked his tongue.
‘The fact that Ernas is applying for a duel this way means that he has already seen the trend here… … .’
Before Schmitz first challenged Ernas, Hernas struck the player.
As a result, he completely lost control.
‘Looking at the fight with Serine yesterday, Ernas’ biggest weakness is his physical strength. So, you must have wanted to fight with the rule of making a decision in a short time.’
If one of them continues to fight until one of them is defeated, or if they fight according to such a rule, it is clear that Ernas will get tired first.
Therefore, Ernas suggested the rule that the first to receive a valid hit wins.
I might be able to compete before my stamina runs out.
‘At some point, I’ve drifted into that kind of atmosphere, so I’m fighting on conditions that are favorable to Ernas.’
Ernas was more cunning than expected.
Perhaps even Instructor Anne Rize has already been recruited.
‘However… … .’
Schmidt smiled softly.
It was because Ernas thought he underestimated himself too much.
‘If we do it under such favorable conditions, I will win, Ernas.’
Watching the fight with Serine yesterday, Schmitz had already confirmed it.
At the speed of Ernas… It never keeps pace with Schmitz.
‘No matter how hard Ernas is, he will not be able to respond to my movements.’
Even if Ernas was aiming for a short-term decisive battle, it was useless.
That man’s attacks never reach Schmitz.
‘I’ll show you the speed of Hartmann’s quick sword technique.’
He didn’t intervene, but Professor Yols was also watching this without saying a word.
Schmidt wanted to show his swordsmanship to the respected ‘Sword Dragon’ Yols.
Schmidt Hartmann’s swordsmanship, which will elevate the Hartmann family to a position comparable to that of the 6th master swordsman.
“By the way, Ernas-sama.”
Burning his will, Schmitz spoke to Ernas.
“If I win, it was a condition that I would take over the representative position. But what if Ernas-sama wins?”
“Well, I hadn’t thought of that, is it really necessary?”
“Of course you need it.”
“Yeah, then… … .”
While holding a wooden sword, Ernas tilted her head.
And said in a cold voice.
“I hope that you will not challenge my authority in the future, and you will absolutely obey.”
“… … !”
Never climb again
Ernas said so.
“Will you accept it, Schmidt?”
“… … .”
“If you don’t like it, you can just refuse the duel.”
close.
Schmidt grinded his teeth.
“It’s taking over the position of the representative, but you have to put that level of condition on it.”
“That’s a good attitude.”
Every single word scratched my self-esteem.
Are the heirs of the master swordsman so arrogant?
‘I’ll make you regret it, Ernas Landsstein.’
Schmidt was determined to show his top speed from the start.
It was decided to unleash the secret of Hartmann’s quick sword technique, ‘side digging’.
‘Pretending to run straight ahead… They change direction in an instant, and dig into Ernas’ side.’
At first glance, it looks ordinary, but Hartmann’s quick sword technique has sublimated it to the realm of special moves.
For Ernas, it would seem that Schmitz, who was rushing from the front, suddenly disappeared.
Perhaps this first attack could decide the match.
‘Even if I’m lucky enough to block it, I can take the initiative!’
Thinking of Jailbreaking the cunning fake genius, Schmitz took a stance.
“then… Get started!”
The moment Anne Rize’s voice was heard.
Schmitz kicked off the training ground and started the charge.
In order to deliver the highest speed attack to Ernas, who was making a casual expression in front of him.
* * *
I knew Schmitz’s personality well.
Schmidt thinks he’s cool and prudent, but in reality, he’s easy to get excited and hasty.
Also, he has a lot of pride in Hartmann’s quick sword technique, so he tends to want to show his true value in front of people.
so that… If I took the initiative and continued to provoke, I could have expected from the beginning that I would launch a ‘side digging’.
‘Schmitz, I certainly can’t cope with your flank penetration with my physical abilities.’
I know it’s digging to the side, but I can’t stop it.
If he was counting, he could barely block and then counterattack, but with Ernas’s body it was impossible.
‘However… What if it was just before we dig into the side?’
Just before changing direction to dig to the side.
Schmitz has no choice but to run towards my face.
The charge speed is fast, but from my position, it’s just running straight ahead.
‘Of course, it’s not far enough to wield a sword yet.’
There is still a distance between the two.
It can’t be touched just by swinging the sword.

Me and Schmidt, the closer the sword can be wielded.‘However… There are attacks that reach even from this distance.’
The swordsmanship cloned from Chloe at lunchtime.
If it’s a Yusburg sword that has reached A rank, it’s possible.
“… … .”
You don’t even need to get ready.
You can just straighten it out from this position.
So I… Schmidt attacked at a completely unexpected timing.
Paah!
With the sound of cutting the air, the wooden sword was ‘injected’.

Most of the students did not understand what technique Ernas was using.Only one person, Chloe Yousburg, who had trained in the Jusburg sword technique, understood.
‘How did Ernas-sama perform the Jusburg Swordsmanship… … !’
Among the western-style swordsmanship with many anomalous swordsmanship, there are very few unique swordsmanships like the Yusburg swordsmanship.
This is because it is a non-sword technique specialized in ‘flying’ rather than swinging a sword.
It is mainly used as a surprise attack to outwit the opponent, and it doesn’t work well with opponents who know the Jusburg sword technique, but… To surprise an opponent without any prior information, there is no other effective swordsmanship as good as this.
‘Especially that technique… It’s a technique that my father told me not to use in front of others!’
Ernas just flew the sword without any preparation.
This is a technique used when you want to launch a high-speed surprise attack that outwits the opponent.
Chloe, who has been practicing Jusburg swordsmanship for over 10 years, has only recently been able to use it… Ernas developed his skills to a level that was not significantly different from Chloe.
‘No, there’s no way Ernas-sama learned the Jusburg swordsmanship. But why… … .’
Read at noblemtl.com
Maybe I even developed it myself?With that thought in mind, Chloe shuddered.
If you have mastered such skills by self-study… … .
‘Ernas-sama… Are you really a genius?’
Seeing her genius, Chloe felt her heart flutter.
* * *
“Ugh!”
The wooden sword I flew stuck in Schmidt’s stomach.
If it had been a true sword, it would have pierced Schmidt’s stomach.
So… It was an effective blow that decided the match.
“How, this… … !”
Schmidt, who stopped the charge, put on an absurd expression.
He was running head-on, thinking only of digging to the side.
Therefore, he could not properly respond to the surprise Jusburg sword technique.
If I had known about the Jusburg Swordsmanship, I would have been able to accept it somehow… Unfortunately, Schmitz may have seen Jusburg’s swordsmanship for the first time today.
‘I’m sure most of the students here are.’
Actually, I should apologize to Chloe.
Because he revealed that such swordsmanship exists in front of the black class 6 students.
Normally, Chloe cherishes the Jusburg sword as much as possible, but only uses it at important moments… I made it public like this.
“Rain, you are cowardly, Ernas-sama!”
Then Schmidt raised his voice.
“This is unacceptable! The attack just got nullified!”
“Schmitz.”
“This is not swordsmanship! Throwing a sword, that kind of thing… … !”
Seeing Schmitz who couldn’t admit defeat, when everyone was embarrassed.
Suddenly a solemn voice was heard.
“You lack knowledge, Schmidt.”
“Yo, Professor Yoles?!”
All of a sudden, Yoles was approaching us.
“The attack by Ernas just was ‘non-swordsmanship’. It’s not common, but it’s definitely some kind of swordsmanship.”
“No, that’s ridiculous! How can throwing a sword become a swordsmanship… … .”
That moment.

My wooden sword, which had fallen to the floor, suddenly popped up and brushed past Schmidt’s ear.“This is also swordsmanship.”
“… … !”
Not only Schmitz, but also the students around him swallowed their breaths all at once.
including me.
‘Swordsmanship (御劍術)… … !’
Eo swordsmanship can be said to be an advanced form of non-swordsmanship.
Non-swordsmanship is simply throwing the sword in your hand, but the swordsmanship allows the sword to fly freely in the air.
Because it requires enormous magical power, it is a level that cannot be surpassed by the current level of students.
‘But, someday… … .’
Someday I will be able to reach that level too.
With that certainty, I noticed Yols’ phenomenal swordsmanship.
“ね… … .”
Schmidt bit his lip and knelt on the spot.
After that, I had no choice but to admit defeat.
“then… Ernas.”
Yols looked at me and said in a calm voice.
“The surprise non-swordsmanship with no preparedness was very good. I wonder how you learned it.”
“Professor, this is… … .”
As I curled up, Yoles smiled bitterly.
“You don’t have to answer. There is no benefit to revealing your information in front of others.”
“thank you.”
“I would like to see more diverse skills, but that would prevent other students from competing.”
Saying that, Yoles looked around.
All the students stopped Dalian and were only looking at this side.
“Ernas, don’t move any more today, back down and rest.”
“All right.”
“and… … .”
Yoles said, putting a hand on my right shoulder.
“I think it would be better to train my shoulders more in the future.”
“… … !”
Now I am feeling pain in my right shoulder muscle.
It was because he used the secret of the Jusburg sword technique with a body that had not been sufficiently trained.
In order to fire the sword at a speed that Schmidt could not cope with, I had to sacrifice my shoulder.
‘Yeols… You have a great eye.’
I bowed my head in gratitude, thinking that I should be careful not to get suspicious.
* * *
After the battle between Ernas and Schmitz was over, the students’ battle resumed.
But now, Yoles was unable to pay any attention to the competition of ordinary students.
‘After all, what was said at the exam hall was a lie.’
In fact, there were rumors that Ernas may have cheated on the exam.
However, looking at Ernas today, it seemed that it was nothing more than a baseless conspiracy.
‘The same thing as calmly answering my questions in the morning class… … . Ernas Landsstein, not an ordinary guy.’
Yoles recalled the battle between Ernas and Schmitz earlier in his mind.
Ordinary students would not have been able to understand what was happening, but Yoles was capturing Ernas’ every move.
‘Ernas’ swordsmanship was definitely the western Jusburg swordsmanship. Where did you learn it?’
There are students from the Jusburg family here, too, but there is no way they could have learned it overnight.

Maybe I didn’t develop it myself… … .‘But the most surprising thing is… The point is that he displayed the most effective technique against Schmitz Hartmann, who was running at a frightening speed.’
In fact, Ernas’ physical ability was far inferior to that of Schmitz.
If he had fought normally, there was a high possibility that he would have been defeated by Schmitz.
However, after seeing Schmidt’s movements perfectly, Ernas quickly launched a sword and attempted a surprise attack.
Even with the risk of injuring the shoulder muscles.
The result was a complete victory for Ernas.
‘To draw power that transcends the limits of the body, and to achieve victory at once with an accurate blow… … .’
Is this really a freshman?
Yoles couldn’t help but admire.
‘I want to make you my direct disciple. He’s a really coveted talent.’
Fascinated by the freshman who showed more talent than expected, Yoles smiled.
Letzz gooooo!!!
