90 – Skull Smashing (Complete)
A quiet sound begins to be heard little by little from the crack that has formed in the void of Malik.
-Ssassy!
“···!”
Is it because I know what will pop out from that crack?
Malik, with a shocked expression, quickly raised his mana and immediately began swinging his two swords.
I thought as I saw the transparent sword coming out of the crack and heading towards Malik at incredible speed.
‘This is it.’
I knew it was theoretically possible.
When I actually did what I had only thought about in my head, I felt very proud.
I definitely didn’t fool the scales. However, I cut into the space several times and was able to send a bundle of sword energy back to Malik.
‘It could be useful in the future.’
The reason this was possible was because Malik’s sword contained enough mana to cut through space.
I knocked out such sword energy. Towards spaces that are already curved.
That sword energy had already cut through space, so there was no way it could not have cut through the curved space, no matter how much it had been blown out and its power had weakened.
While I was swinging my sword while looking at that scene, I thought about it non-stop.
Which space is weakened?
How should I get rid of the sword energy and what kind of space should I go to?
At what speed and in what direction should the thrown sword energy be shot at Malik?
Thanks to doing that, all of the sword energy I had thrown away was able to be directed at Malik.
Next, I aimed for the split-second moment when the bundle of sword energy in the space baldo was loosened. Then he swung his sword with all his might and cut into space.
To create a crack to send Space Baldo’s final blow to Malik.
However, it was not cut down all at once.
‘It was a little lacking.’
Because I didn’t deceive the scales, it was somewhat expected.
I couldn’t help but feel regretful about the fact that my mana wasn’t enough to cut through the space in one go.
The sword I swung only slightly curved the space I was aiming for. The space was not completely cut out.
‘It will get better.’
Is that why? After a long time, the spirit of victory is starting to rise.
I never thought I was weak.
But I never thought that I didn’t want to become stronger.
Is that why? I was able to set a short-term goal: to cut through space in one blow without fooling the scales.
If that happens, it will be like having a hand that can return a powerful attack to the enemy without deceiving the balance.
Anyway, that was the reason why I swung my sword one more time in the nick of time.
To completely cut down the weakening space and return the final blow of the space baldo that was coming towards me to Malik.
As I was thinking that, I heard the sound of a sword cutting something apart in my ears.
-Chaaa!
“Ha, hahahaha!”
Looking ahead, I see a skeleton that looks like a beggar because its robe has been torn off here and there.
‘It wasn’t electric power.’
Is it because he is an acquaintance of the teacher?
Although he looked embarrassed and did his best in an ugly manner, Malik was able to completely cancel out the secret technique of the divine sword style that he unleashed.
“This is truly amazing! How dare you give this senior such a big deal with just one trick. hahahaha!”
What is so satisfying? Malik laughed heartily at the sight of the tattered subject and threw the two swords he was holding on the floor.
“I can’t help but praise this, right? How can you think of cutting into space with someone else’s sword? Also, calculate it thoroughly! It’s really amazing! hahahaha!”
They began to shower me with praise, clapping their hands non-stop like a seal.
“Okay, now let’s have a serious conversation between seniors and juniors.”
But Malik’s praise did not continue any longer.
“Huh?”
I spurred my feet and leapt to the very nearest point to Malik. I first responded by swinging my fist.
“Oh, that’s right. All I had to do was hold on.”
-What a blast!
As the mana-filled fist explodes into the skeleton’s skull, Malik’s mischievous expression begins to fly away at lightning speed.
-Kwasik!
“Wow!”
The skull flew for a while and fell into a huge tree with a terrible sound.
It was so deep that Malik’s nose bone was flush with the tree bark.
“I’m sorry. “I was so absorbed in it that I forgot about it.”
As I was watching that, I scratched the back of my head and apologized to Malik.
“G-is it true?”
“Of course. Sorry.”
Of course it was Gura. I was digging into this skull that had been scratching my insides for a few days now.
But, you completely forgive me for the disrespect committed against me just because I am your teacher’s acquaintance? This skeleton that I, who had suffered so much, had committed?
Such a thing could never happen, it should never have happened.
Because this went against my motto.
‘We don’t know about grace, but let’s take revenge on our enemies.’
It was like the basic motto of my life.
But of course, this skeleton has been feeding me a few days ago, and it has been making my insides boil for a while now.
Whether this skeleton was an acquaintance of my teacher or some great person, it was only natural that he would take revenge on me in some way.
“I feel refreshed.”
I do not feel weak as a punishment for someone who has been scratching my insides like never before for several days,
Nevertheless, I couldn’t help but feel refreshed. Because just a moment ago, I was so frustrated inside.
“You feel refreshed?”
Oh, wasn’t that what I was saying in my mind?
“They say the forest is cool.”
“In my opinion, the most urgent education for juniors is character education…”
What’s wrong with my personality?
“Wait a minute. First of all, let’s start with that…”
After thinking that, I ignored Malik’s muttering and turned around to approach Malik’s torso, where he was standing in a daze.
And then.
-Kwasik!
The communication port was destroyed first.
-Kwasik!
-Kwasik!
Just in case, I trampled it until it fell to pieces.
After confirming that the communication sphere was transformed into fine powder, I turned my gaze towards Malik.
“I’m afraid you might change your words.”
“···Thanks to you, I too have come to hope that Daphne will not come.”
Malik must have looked terrible at me like that and muttered with a disgusted expression on his face, which made me smile and answer even more happily.
“That’s unexpected good news.”
“You junior, you don’t respect the elderly, do you?”
“Because they prefer aggression rather than respect.”
“Our junior, are you really an asshole?”
“Senior too.”
“Not a word.”
“Because the teacher said so. “Never lose to anyone but yourself.”
“···f*ck. Daphne is someone who can live with that.”
Has he finally decided to acknowledge my brilliant speech?
Malik sighed as if he had lost, and I smiled happily, but soon I had to sigh along with Malik.
‘Master…’
Someday, you might miss me and look for me.
So, maybe we can meet again someday?
I vaguely thought something like that.
But I didn’t know he would move this quickly.
Because, although Master had a fiery personality, he also had a relaxed and lazy nature.
I thought that even if Master moves, it will be a little further in the future.
Honestly, I didn’t think they would find me.
To be precise, I thought that my teacher, who had been fooled by my pranks, would notice my determined will and join in on my rhythm.
Because even though Master was scary to me, he was a person who did not hesitate to respect me whenever I showed signs of being serious.
“But what do you plan to do when Daphne comes to visit? “I’m really curious.”
As I was lost in thought for a moment, Malik asked me vaguely.
“I see. What should I do…”
I couldn’t answer right away and had to think again.
Master comes here, to Adenia. I would like to deny this, but it is a fact that I cannot deny based on what I heard from Malik.
‘I guess I’ll have to come up with a plausible excuse…’
Also, when you come here, you will need to prepare some weapons to lighten your mood.

“Judging by the expression on his face, there is no solution right now, but he thinks it will come out if he thinks about it slowly.”
“Have you ever mastered mind reading?”
“No. “I don’t think you know, but my junior tends to have a lot of blemishes on his face.”
I tilted my head to the side. I wonder if that’s really the case.
Last time I just thought about it. I guess I really need to get a hand mirror.
“Can I help you?”
Malik asked me with a grin, and I nodded.
“Can you put my hair back on first? “My bones are especially sore today…”
When I picked up the skull and placed it on the body, Malik then began to tell me the story I wanted to hear.
“First, learn from me. How to use mana in a big way like me without deceiving the balance. “And then I’m going to tell Daphne.”
“You girl. I didn’t come to play. “I came to this cradle of learning in order to break through the limitations of this body, which is a ‘vessel of sin.'”
“If I say this, I can at least prove that I didn’t come here to seduce women. Of course, there will have to be some level of corporal punishment, but… Well, so what?”
I had been nodding my head steadily ever since I heard the word sissy, but I had no choice but to show my thumbs up to Malik.
Honestly, I don’t think it’s a bad opinion. I think it would be perfect if I just added a few more excuses.
“Looking at your expression, it looks like you have something to ask of me… I’ll tell you in advance. “It’s absolutely not okay to give someone a hug instead.”
Malik noticed my expression again and shook his head in disgust. I asked him another question.
“While you’re teaching me, can you teach my other friend as well?”
“Are you a woman?”
As I nodded, Malik rattled his skull violently.
After that, Malik told me what I was curious about and the information I needed.
With a sweeter and kinder voice than anyone else in the world.
*****
In front of a log cabin in the forest that was once one of the secret residences of ‘Wings of Freedom’, but has now become one of my training places.
I was with a woman with her long bright red hair.
“Carmel, is the person you meet today such a great person?”
“Okay then. “I guarantee you, the moment you start learning from this person, you will be no different from a fool.”
“What?”
“Sword Master.”
“aaah! I’m so excited! “When is he coming?”
“He will be here soon. But I have something to tell you in advance. He came into existence not just a little, but a lot…”
I tried to explain in advance that Malik is a skeleton.
As soon as she heard the name “Sword Master,” Rose got very excited and jumped up and down in her seat, not listening to me.
-Ratly.
“I guess you’ve arrived! Hello···.”
Meanwhile, the sound of the door opening was heard, and Rose turned her head with a voice full of anticipation.
“Nice to meet you. Lady. “I am Malik, an old gentleman…”
“aaah!”
-Scream!
After seeing Malik’s face filled with happiness, Rose screamed and struck at lightning speed.
-Tuk.
“hahahaha… It seems like swinging it and looking at it is a trend these days. It was a great sword. Lady.”
Malik’s skull fell to the floor and smiled pitifully.
