Episode 59
It’s Geomchi (劍漆).
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Geomchil is a skill that can only be used by knights who have reached the ‘Expert’ level in terms of human beings.
in short.
‘A state similar to swordsmanship… … .’
Sword painting was the coloring of the sword by mana.
Ordinary demons embodied mana in their swords to create sparks and strengthen their bodies.
It means that unlike humans, there is no concept of sword skill.
However, the demons also had a concept similar to swordsmanship.
That was Geomchil.
What René usually used was a technique that infused a huge amount of mana into a sword to make it gigantic.
Compressing it with high concentration and forging it to be thinner than the thickness of a sheet of paper.
By doing so, it could possess destructive power and sharpness rather than materializing mana in general.
I admired Rene’s swordwork once again.
Because it is so thin, it looks as if the sword was simply painted.
It’s definitely different from swordsmanship.
If the thick sword was the best, the thinner the sword, the better the concentration.
‘Is it also the offspring of the Seven Deadly Sins?’
It’s only been a few months since I entered Saitan… … .
I didn’t know that I could already use Geomchi.
yes-.
However, Rene couldn’t keep up with her sword skills and soon lost her color.
“It is not yet complete.”
“Yeah, because I have to bring out my concentration to the limit.”
If you dismiss it, the moment you lose focus, the color painted on the sword will return to its original color again.
Rene seems to have stepped into the threshold of expert beginner level.
It would be impossible to compete with an expert-level knight yet.
‘… … It won’t take long.’
Assuming that Rene avoids death in this midterm exam, she will be a complete expert level around the second semester.
I’ll have to fix my thoughts on this.
I thought I would be able to catch up with Rene soon, but it was just a miscalculation.
I have to get stronger too.
“Then, let’s bump into each other.”
“good.”
I kicked the seat at the same time as Lene nodded.
I thought about using the location exchange, but I was curious about the power of the sword, so I decided to hit it with pure power.
Chaengchaeng-.
Rene and my dagger collided one after another in the air.
I could read René’s swordsmanship with my excellent body vision.
So, I expected a long game.
Clink-!
It wasn’t long before my dagger was shattered into pieces.
In a fleeting moment, Rene manifested his sword and destroyed my dagger.
I had to stick out my tongue at the tremendous power.
“You are amazing. A sword of such power… … .”
“of course.”
Although Rene said it insignificantly, I knew that this job would never be easy.
If I had used the Fang of Darkness instead of the normal dagger, I would have withstood René’s attack… … .
If it was a normal weapon, it would be destroyed by Rene’s sword strike.
“It’s not an easy scene to see a noble lady who is stronger than an escort.”
Diana smiled and looked at me and Lene happily.
… … Are you kidding me now?
I raised my fist, recalled who the opponent was, and lowered it again.
“As expected, Lene is amazing.”
“… … .”
“Hey, are you shy?”
Diana smiled and began to lift Lene to the fullest.
I clicked my tongue at that sight.
‘I can’t believe Diana, one of the strongest who can compete with the main characters of the Imperial Academy, had this kind of side.’

Not only did she pass the entrance exam at the top of the list, she even survived the longest in the main character’s group.
Because Diana was the woman who would become the strongest in the demon realm.
In fact, it was safe to say that he was the second strongest villain next to the owner of the original body.
than that
“How are you doing?”
I asked Rene about how to use the sword lacquer.
Rene just shook her head at my question.
I wondered if it was because I didn’t want to tell you, but after listening to the explanation, it seemed reasonable.
“You have to get the hang of it.”
“It’s a trick.”
“It should be done with the feeling of filling the sword from the inside.”
under… … .
This is why the family of geniuses.
In other words, it seemed that he needed to catch his senses in order to master the sword technique.
A certain sense, like when absolute stealth was manifested.
Only when you notice it can you use the sword stroke.
I put my regret behind me and threw the dagger with only the handle to the ground and said.
“I think Dalian should end here.”
“I see.”
“Did you prepare well for the midterm exams?”
“perfectly.”
Rene’s eyes were full of confidence that he would make good grades.
Yeah, who am I to worry about?
The time of the first midterm exam and the time when the main characters get the eyes of arrogance did not overlap.
That means that Rene will come back alive from this midterm exam.
Those who are expected to die with a high probability are cadets from class A.
I need to take good care of my body… … .
“Then I wish you luck.”
“You be careful too.”
“Please put your worries aside.”
After exchanging good wishes with each other, while I was just moving to take my steps.
flinch-.
When I felt something strange, I looked around.
However, all I see around me are Lene and Diana, who turn their backs and walk away… … .
ah.
‘I know who it is.’
I narrowed my eyes narrowly.
I noticed the identity of the gaze.
The owner of this gaze… … .
‘Is it Diana?’
One of her powers, ‘Contemplation’, was activated.
The ability to pluck out every fine hair of an opponent.
Diana was observing my body using contemplation.
Should I react to this situation?
‘Diana might become an enemy.’
After much deliberation, the decision was made.
Since the woman who might be my greatest enemy was Diana, I should proceed in the direction of keeping a little distance.
That’s why he radiated life with very minimal mana.
“… … !”
Diana turned her head and looked back at me.
The slightly widened eyes soon curved like a crescent moon.
I couldn’t figure out the meaning of her alluring smile.
‘It’s a bit scary.’
If he was angry, that was within the expected range.
I had seen countless people who were afraid or wary of being killed, but this was the first time I saw a woman who smiled.
… … Is it the unique leisure of the strong?
It was when I turned my head again in embarrassment.
See you next.
“… … .”
Diana’s mouth was uttering terrible sentences.
At this, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
It felt like something was wrong.

After returning to the dormitory.
Samuel was already in bed, and I was able to organize my thoughts.
“under.”
He sighed and scratched his head.
I don’t know if I should like it or hate that the woman who will be the strongest in the demon realm is interested in me… … .
for now,
‘I have to review the other midterm subjects as well.’
I opened the textbook ‘Understanding Humanity’.
And despaired.
“… … I just don’t know.”
Human understanding, a theoretical subject that will be tested tomorrow.
There were stories written about it that I did not know at all.
As a writer, I wondered if it was reasonable for me not to know human understanding, but when I think about it, it was natural.
For the midterm exam, I had to learn everything from human weaknesses to habits and psychological descriptions.
‘I’ll have to stay up all night…’ … .’
He pulled out his chair and sat down in front of the textbook, sighing.
It seemed wrong to sleep deeply today.

On the day of the midterm exam.
I entered the classroom, groping my eyelids with dark shadows.
Seeing that, Luna spoke with a worried expression.
“Isn’t that too much?”
“Yes, it is fine.”
“Your health comes first… … .”
I know.
health is the most important thing
But I couldn’t help it.
In the meantime, since I only trained magic and other attributes with a focus on actual combat, I neglected the theory too much.
Thanks to this, I had to stay up all night and type the contents of the textbook into my head.
‘Fortunately, thanks to my attributes, I succeeded in cramming.’
interest and preoccupation.
These two qualities shined through.
The first test, ‘Human Understanding’, consisted entirely of memorization.
All I had to do was memorize the textbook.
‘The human body has an interest from the beginning, so it was easy to express the characteristics of interest.’
It was one of the things I wanted to know about the bodies of the inhabitants in the world I created.
Although the reason is to learn how to kill its inhabitants more usefully… … .
Anyway, I learned because I learned.
‘I was interested, so all that was left was to be immersed.’
It was the moment when I was interested in human understanding textbooks.
My head spins tight and I begin to give orders to accept the contents of the textbook.
Come on, read the textbook.
Thanks to that, he seemed to be able to get good grades in human understanding.
“Did Luna prepare well?”
“hehehe, it seems a little ambiguous. You won’t get a failing grade though!”
“I’m glad.”
Luna asserted that she could avoid failing grades.
You’ll have to see the test results to know, but it won’t be a lie.
Because she was a cadet who faithfully participated in class.
If there’s a problem,
“Has Fron finished studying?”
“omg… … .”
Fron took a short breath at what I said.
Even if she didn’t say anything, I could guess that she hadn’t prepared for the test.
I yelled bitterly at Fron.
“What are you trying to do?”
“What do you mean, in the first place, the proportion of the theoretical subjects is small, so all you need to do is take the practical exam!”
Ugh.
I sighed as I saw the pron making a comfortable sound.
Also, there was no solution.
“Fron-sama, isn’t the role of the leader of the group supposed to be the best in the group?
“Chit… … .”
Fron rolled his eyes once and returned to his seat.
Then he turned his head and stuck his tongue out at me.
Oral medications help.
I hope that Fron will engrave my advice on his heart.
‘Besides that reason, there’s a lot to learn from the theory class.’

No matter how strong you are, you can’t escape from the human race.
culture, habits, and even physical characteristics.
Information that seemed meaningless can also become a hidden card that can turn the situation around depending on the combination.
It is not unreasonable to say that just knowing this increases the probability of survival by 10%.
I’ll have to inform Pron well later.
Her buff abilities would be very useful, so she deserved that kind of favor.
It was when I was reviewing the human understanding subject after thinking about frons.
drooling-.
The instructor in charge of human understanding opened the school door and entered the class full of papers.
Silence settled among the cadets.
“Everyone, please put your textbooks.”
At the instructor’s command, the cadets put their textbooks into their desks.
After confirming that there were no textbooks on the desks of all the students, the instructor distributed test papers one by one.
After that, the instructor told us the rules to follow in the test.
I didn’t listen to it because it was similar to the rules of the modern exam.
5 minutes after that.
Dang dang-.
The bell announcing the test for the first subject of the midterm rang.
“The test is about to begin.”
