Episode 20 – Health Measurement (1)
Scarlett’s weapon, Zweihender, is not easy to wield because of its size.
It moves a lot every time you swing it, and it can be said that it has a lot of gaps compared to other weapons.
You have to wield that carefully.
Zweihender is unsuitable for knocking out flying arrows one by one.
Leaping behind her, her arrows pierce the position where she stood just before.

Arrows continue to form in the air and fly in, and armored soldiers rise from the ground and attack.
Rotate her body lightly to avoid the spear flying at her side, and twist the Zwei Hender slightly to deflect the sword.
She keeps moving, avoiding arrows and cutting down soldiers with her sword.
The broken soldiers scattered as smoke without shedding a single drop of blood.
Her more and more of her soldiers constantly spring up and put pressure on her.
The difficulty of the test increases as time passes.
Not only does the number of soldiers increase, but the combat power of each individual also increases.
When she started using her aura at around 5 minutes, she seemed more relaxed than the first time.
There are only two cases where this test ends.
Endure until the final stage set in the artifact, or until you receive damage that would lead to death in reality.
After 10 minutes passed before she knew it, her soldiers, who were bigger and faster than she was before, and even her orcs appeared and rushed at her.
She’s not as strong as a real orc, but she’s still a freshman.
Other class A students would easily deal with 1 or 2 orcs, but…….
‘Because Scarlett was in Class B, not Class A, in [Outside].’
Like me, she was lacking compared to the other A students in her class.
The wounds increased one by one from the attacks of the strengthened soldiers, and the bat wielded by the orc hit him squarely and he fell far away.
Her severely injured Scarlett flinches and forcibly raises her body using Zwei Hender for support.
Even though it was a fake wound made of fantasy, her expression was distorted as if the pain was serious.
She managed to mend her sword, but she couldn’t react to the orc’s attack again.
Right before the orc’s attack reached Scarlett, all the hallucinations turned into smoke and disappeared.
At the same time, the scars she had had also disappeared.
However, her stamina was separate from the wounds on her body, so she sat down on the spot.
No matter how fake the pain is, if you really feel the pain to the point of death….
‘Because there could really be a problem.’
Lee Yu-ra, who scribbled something on a piece of paper, called the next person.
“Good job! Next is S class’s Kania! Come out and get ready!”
At those words, Kania, who was sitting behind her, raised her body and went out to the center of her.
Fluttering black hair and very pale red eyes.
Kania was one of the characters I liked so much that I could count them on my hands in [Out of the World].
She is one of the few magic swordsmen in the world that do not rely on artifacts.
Stia, who received [Star’s Blessing], Was one of them, and Kania was also among them.
However, the difference between her and other magic swordsmen is that all she can use is her blood magic.
A half-vampire from birth, as soon as she was born, she was abandoned at the entrance of the [Black Forest], One of the four forbidden regions in Korea.
The reason was that she did not know that her father was a vampire.
Vampires themselves are not bad.
In fact, vampires are one of the few races that have a friendly relationship with humans.
However, there are discriminatory people everywhere.
Her mother was deeply disgusted that half of her daughter was a vampire, and as soon as she found out, she threw her away.
The young half-blood ghost was in danger of death as soon as he was born.
Smells her scent, her beast-type monsters rushed towards her.
But she was not destined to die there, so she was rescued by a passing vampire.
Her vampire took her to the forest where her vampires lived, and Kania grew up with her vampires there.
As a result of growing up entangled with vampires, he learned how to use blood magic.
Although he was bullied by children of his age because he was half human, he suppressed them all with overwhelming force.
And after getting a certain age, she wanders out of the forest for the first time and meets the headmaster, Garlowin.
Garlowin, recognizing her talent in Kania, recommends that she enter her academy.
[“There is an academy that nurtures talented children like you.”]
[“There are children with similar cases to you, so going there will surely help.”]
She didn’t have a set goal anyway, so Lakania accepted the invitation.
Kania drew her sword.
The decorations are fancy, and it’s not as big as Scarlett’s, but it’s quite big.
As the sword was raised horizontally, a faint red aura began to rise above the sword body.
Although her fantasies, born of her moment, rush at her.
Hwaaak!
A red aura swept over everything.
*
Vampires are unable to use normal magical powers, but their basic physical abilities are overwhelming.
Thanks to that, except for her special case, the only magic that can be used is blood magic.
But Kania is a little different.
He inherited exactly half of the vampire’s and human’s.
She inherited only half of the vampire’s physical abilities, but she can use her magical powers.
Her blood magic was also lacking compared to her normal vampires, but instead she had special powers of her own.
Putting blood and blood into magic.
Bloody eyes appear in Kania’s pale red eyes.
Likewise, all of her mana is dyed red.
Twenty minutes passed before I knew it, and dozens of orcs attacked, but they were all cut in half by Kania’s horizontal swing.
That ability of hers is her strength that made her one of the strongest in her five fingers in her [Oeyeongdo].
However, the downside is that the longer you use blood, the more violent it becomes, making it difficult to control yourself.
The time you can maintain reason also gets longer as you grow, but that time isn’t very long yet.
You have to quit when the time is right.
Unleashing her blood and shooting unmatched for five minutes, Kania suddenly put her sword into her scabbard and declared her resignation.
The number [00:25:51] Floating in the sky indicated that she had survived 25 minutes without suffering a single scratch on her.
It seems like Kania isn’t having a hard time. She did, and after catching her breath, she returned to her seat and sat down.
*
Next up was Ifelsar.
As Ifel Sar was being called out, she said to Scarlett, “He scared me earlier. She whispered, “Look at me, it’s her baby.” Then I looked at her with her eyes wide open.
Kwaaang! Thump thump!
It was a little funny to see Scarlett quietly closing her eyes while watching Ifelsar, who had endured for 23 minutes tearing through enemies.
Most of the students who went out to take the test later returned after holding out for about 20 minutes.
For reference, the final step is to hold out for 30 minutes, but only Dina and Caring Man succeeded.
Dina exploded all the illusions as soon as she had them, and Jasangnam just suppressed them with ignorant strength and defensive power.
Originally, Stia would have succeeded easily, but she gave up because she was hiding her power.
And finally, my turn came.
‘Ah, Sitpal, why is it the last time?’
This is truly a malicious order arrangement.
Following the call, I got up and went out, taking out only the sword from my bracelet.
Soon after, the countdown began.
“Whoa… ….”
I don’t have special abilities like the other guys.
It’s just that he’s a bit talented at swordsmanship and has good senses.
‘Even that’s a trait, though.’
Until now, I watched the other guys’ tests and observed their movements one by one.
The senses enhanced by [Sixth Sense] Accurately captured each movement, and [Swordsmanship Master] Will help you follow those movements.
After the countdown, arrows rush in.
I swung my sword and easily knocked out the arrow.
Based on what I’ve seen so far, I can survive up to 5 minutes with my own skills.
Closely avoid all incoming attacks and cut down soldiers.
Could it be because I was overly focused? Five minutes passed in an instant, and the movements of the soldiers changed.
The ship raises its magic power to get rid of the faster and stronger soldiers than before.
And I keep thinking about it. Their movements.
Just as Scarlett swung Zweihender, she filled her sword with all her magic and swung it with all her might.
Soldiers are swept away by the sword that is about to explode.
But I still have little experience.
Two arrows flew from behind, respectively, lodged in the left thigh and shoulder.
“Ugh!”
The pain of digging into the metal flesh that I felt for the first time in my life.
My heart beats thump thump at the unfamiliar sensation that is both cool and hot.
Feeling that your body is gradually getting hotter, keep moving without stopping.
If I stop even for a moment, arrows and spears flying from the air will pierce me.
But if you keep running, you will tire faster.
‘Can I do it?’
I somehow managed to keep up with Scarlett because there was not much difference in stats, but it was different from Kania.
There is almost a 2x difference between her and me.
But….
“I have no choice but to try it!”
Kiki!
Stop running.
You can see the window right in front of your eyes, but don’t rush your mind.
I’ll hold out for as long as I can before the spear really gets stuck in me.
Avoid twisting your body lightly.
Kania’s movements boast maximum efficiency.
Dodges with minimal movement, and takes the lives of enemies with sure blows.
But that’s possible because it’s Kania.
Like I said before, the stat difference between her and mine is almost twice as great.
Raised [Sword Mastery] And [Sixth Sense] To the maximum level and awkwardly tries to imitate it, but my body can’t keep up.
Muscles spasm with each movement, and pain is felt as if every bone is twisted.
Because the movements that are not completely the same do not perfectly avoid the attacks, solid red lines gradually appear on the body.
‘It doesn’t matter!’
I feel hot pain here and there, but it doesn’t stop.
Due to the ever-increasing tension, the [Sixth sense], Which has already been maxed out, becomes sharper.

His presence is clearly felt in all directions.
Arrows fly through the wind from the back left, and a soldier holding a sword rushes along with a spear flying from the front.
It seems like 10 minutes have passed, orcs are appearing on the right side.
My heart beats faster and faster.
Kung-kung-kung-kung-kung.
That sound, like the starting engine, gets louder and eats up the sounds around me, and eventually I can only hear my heartbeat.
A white darkness descends on the world, and only the signs of approaching enemies cover the whole body.
At the same time, a strange pleasure came and the corner of his mouth caught on his ear.
[The Master of Swordsmanship] Instinctively moves in search of the optimal movement.
If an attack comes, dodge it, and if you can’t dodge it, it will tear and swing your sword.
It cuts down everything that comes to its senses.

My body becomes lighter.
Slowly!
In the pure white space, the orc’s arm flew through the air.
The next target is the orc’s neck.
As the sword containing magic flew toward his neck, his whole body suddenly lost strength and collapsed in place.
The pure white space collapses and disappears, and the scenery inside ‘Shield’ comes into view.
And the last thing that filled my eyesight.
It was an orc’s fist flying towards me.
👊
