16. tournament
“Quaa!!”
Everyone stared blankly at the scene in front of them.
Thorn cried while holding one shoulder. Do-yoon carelessly brushes off the blood from the sword. And, a pair of thick arms fell in front of them.
“Wow…”
“Mi, crazy…”
Doyoon cut Thorn’s arm off.
The instructor, who had come to his senses, shouted at Do-yoon.
“Han Do-yoon! Hey, what are you doing now…”
“It was self-defense.”
A low, heavy voice with little mana. At such a confident and calm demeanor, the instructor involuntarily shut his mouth.
‘Muh, what a cadet’s eyes…’
He felt that his breath was getting a little heavy at Do-yoon’s emotionless eyes.
As for the force, the instructor himself would have the upper hand, but strangely, he did not dare to resist that spirit.
In his place, another instructor next to him opened his mouth.
“Ha, but, even if he wasn’t a cadet, the instructors would have stopped him…”
He also seemed to have felt something from Doyoon, and his voice was somewhat withered.
“sorry. Stop being too scared.”
“Yes?”
“The guy’s face was so scary. I felt a threat to my life, and my hand went out without my knowledge.”
It was a tone that showed no sign of fear, even a slight annoyance. No one in the room thought he was sincere.
“Ah… uh, that’s right…”
Everyone knew that Doyoon’s words were nothing more than a justification. However, there was no reason to criticize. Doyoon’s actions were clearly self-defense.
‘It’s cold. And the moment judgment is also considerable. It’s a skill that has gone through countless secret struggles.’
‘A state of mind and resourcefulness that is not suitable for one’s age. …No matter how you look at it, he’s not an earthling, but he survived the fight for the successor of a prestigious family in the Moorim dimension… He looks like that kind of boy.’
Due to the recent uproar, the instructors who doubted their eyes even after watching Doyoon’s game were convinced. It is true that Doyoon overcame the mana crippling. Just now, he obviously used mana.
The situation was quickly resolved under the leadership of the dean. Thorn was moved to the infirmary, and the rest of the game continued.
Doyun’s match after that was only one final. Two matches were canceled due to withdrawal. Coincidentally, both of them were the ones who intuited Doyoon’s game.
Fortunately, Doyoon never met Sophie. Thanks to the tournament to select a total of 4 winners, Sophie and Doyun were in different groups.
Instead, he faced Debussy in the final.
“Not even bad luck.”
At Debussy’s joke, Doyoon let out a smirk.
The cadets stuck out their tongues at that sight.
Vampires famous for being cold-hearted and haughty. It was a friendly look that Debussy, who belonged to that tribe, showed only to Do-yoon.
“I hope you cut off my arm without hurting me. Seeing the cow screaming really hurts.”
“I’ll cut it nicely.”
Even if he said that, of course Doyoon didn’t be as harsh as he did to Thorn. With the feeling that it suits them moderately, I enjoyed the taste of swinging the sword for the first time in a while.
It was a game with many people watching, but Do-yoon received Debussy’s spear and even taught him a little. Because Debussy was a talented person with a suitable personality and skills.
Do-yoon dealt with Debussy with the Sword Emperor Busker’s swordsmanship. I wanted him to feel something when he saw this.
It is not possible for Doyoon to teach spearmanship, and pointing out the details in front of everyone is not a good look. I thought this would be appropriate.
Although Debussy’s specialty was spearmanship, it was said that he was a master of the Manchuria, and the Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship had a subtlety that touched people’s heartstrings regardless of field.
The power of the Hecleus type was superior, but it could not match that of the Geomhwang in terms of desolation and depth.
Hecleos pursued ‘strength’, and Busker pursued ‘sword’. The depth of technology, different from brute force. uneducated.
Buske’s style of swordsmanship was the very essence of the sword that the greatest swordsman genius in history had dedicated his life to.
‘Rather than my swordsmanship, Busker’s will be a better textbook.’
Enoch’s swordsmanship is also based on the Busker formula. However, it was a swordsmanship that was thoroughly transformed for the purpose of killing the demon king, which was brewed with both efficiency and depth.
His swordsmanship, premised on the use of local acceleration control, was unmatched by anyone.
So, the Busker style would be better for giving them a simple lesson right away. Speaking of the most powerful swordsmanship, Enoch could be said to be higher, but even such Enoch’s swordsmanship is one step behind the Busker style in terms of depth.
The eyes of Debussy, who receives the Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship, gradually become hazy. Doyoon smiled slightly in delight.
He is now receiving the highest state of martial arts with his body and feeling something. drunk on the sword
The cadets who were watching also looked at Doyoon’s swordsmanship with a bewitched expression, although not as much as Debussy who received it directly. Even though they are newbies who don’t even know the martial arts, the Sword Emperor’s swordsmanship had a heartbreak that could touch even such people.
In particular, the instructors’ expressions were very eye-catching. They slowly increased the size of their pupils and mouths, seeing the subtlety of swordsmanship revealed every time Doyoon’s sword drew a stroke in the air.
‘Let’s adjust it moderately so that no one recognizes it like last time.’
Even the Heclius formula, which was considered impossible to transmit, had someone recognizing it. Not to mention, the Busker ceremony, which was officially inherited through a disciple, is no less impressive.
So, Do-yoon showed only part of Busker’s style, and only parts that were not in this episode.
The 18th episode where Enoch defeated the Demon King. So, right now, this timeline. The busker ceremony that Do-yoon is currently performing is a part that is not in the 18th episode. This was a sword technique created by Geomwang in the previous episode.
Enoch evaluated himself, even up to the 17th round, he was one level below or equal to Geomwang and Kwon-hwang.
However, he became a completely different superman through the realization he gained through the duel with the demon king in the 17th episode. Although he was killed by the demon king in the 17th episode, he defeated the demon king right after that in the 18th episode.
Enoch’s realization had a great influence on the two, especially Geomhwang. In the 18th round, the swordplay of the Sword Emperor was influenced by Enoch, and it was very different from the previous rounds.
What Doyun is showing now is a swordsmanship that does not exist in this world, that is, like the Hecleus style, that no one will ever recognize.
And by the time the game is over.
[The skill ‘Swordsmanship’ has been created.]
[The skill ‘Buske’s style swordsmanship’ has been created.]
[‘Buske’s style swordsmanship’ is integrated into the upper skill ‘Swordsmanship’.]
There was even a certain benefit of skill creation.
‘Unlike the javelin, the skill of the previous life is very easily turned into a skill.’
Tournament is over. Most of the four winners did not deviate from expectations.
One was a hard-working talent on the same level as Debussy. And the rest were geniuses in the field of martial arts who were mentioned as top candidates along with Doyoon, Sophie, and the two of them.
“Congratulations on winning…!”
Sophie was delighted with Doyoon’s victory as if it were her first.
In the preliminaries, he showed his skills far beyond everyone’s expectations, but Do-yun was originally far from winning the tournament due to his mana crippling.
Sophie seemed really happy that he won the championship.
“Congratulations to Cadet Sophie. I thought that as a cadet, it would be enough to win.”
“Thank you.”
Sophie blushed slightly at Doyoon’s praise and smiled. Inside the shoe, her feet were curled up. The crotch was also involuntarily tightened.
She was happy about Do-yoon’s victory itself, but the fact that Do-yoon and herself won side by side was really good.
Sophie talked with Do-yoon, holding back from trying to keep smiling.
And towards those two, the dean approached.
“Cadet Han Do-yoon. Cadet Sophie.”
At the dean’s call, the two turned their heads. In his hand were two small wooden crates. It is an elixir that is the prize of the tournament.
There were no grand awards ceremonies. Although it is a big event, the competition is only a formality and the essence is evaluation.
The other winners had already left after receiving their prizes. The match between Doyoon and Sophie ended last, leaving only the two of them.
I could feel the warm gazes of the instructors around me. The dean already had a headache.
‘I guess it’s really starting now…’
Do-yoon showed off his magic talent and tremendous swordsmanship in front of everyone.
Perhaps tomorrow, there will be no one in the cradle who does not know that Doyoon is the boss monster killer.
As soon as today’s work is over, this fact will be reported to the masters of each guild. And since the target is specific, the pressure will come in more blatantly.
The dean’s road ahead was very bleak.
‘But… I’m glad.’
Do-yoon pioneered his own path, breaking the constraints of mana crippling. And he proved his qualities in front of everyone.
It was a result that he achieved on his own, without the help of anyone else.
The dean was very satisfied with the growth of the talented person in front of him.
It is the purpose of establishing the cradle and creating the system, and the long-cherished wish of the alliance. subjugation of the demon king.
This proud talent will surely contribute greatly to the achievement of the cause in the future.
“This is a prize given to the winner. Get it.”
A wooden box was handed over to Doyoon and Sophie.
They opened the lid of the wooden box. A spicy yet refreshing herbal scent stung my nose. Inside, there was only one small lump.
‘This…’
Doyoon felt familiar with the scent and shape.
“The name of this elixir is ‘Seongsaengdan’, and it has an excellent effect on increasing the body’s regenerative power…”
Doyoon moderately passed the dean’s words. No matter how well he knows about this elixir, he will not be as good as Doyoon.
‘It’s been a while.’
I ate a lot of this too.
Doyoon breathed in and savored the scent that evoked nostalgia for the past.
Seongsaengdan. this elixir.
“About 100 years ago, a chief alchemist belonging to the guild of Enoch, the great hero, invented and popularized it…”
An alchemist who was Enoch’s colleague. It was an elixir she made for Enoch.
