9. Iroas Academy
In the world of Misteltein, the remaining 7 months flew by.
Lee Do-jin’s Danjeon had accumulated two-star Reverse Sky God skills.
Is it over after dying a hundred times?
No. Lee Do-jin, who confirmed that crossing the line of fire helps to grasp the sword and the opponent’s movements, was well enough to die a thousand times from his master’s sword.
And I was able to reach half of the 3rd second eclipse.
“Today is the last day. Disciple.”
Chunwu Dan picked up his sword.
“Should we clash swords until the end?”
Lee Do-jin picked up his wooden sword.
Dan Tianyu twisted his mouth.
“If I said that, then I would say that you should engage in sparring. It is self-evident.”
“I got caught. Master.”
Lee Do-jin couldn’t help but laugh.
The two knew each other too well now.
Through the many gaps in the trees. A breeze blew.
Foot stamping on the ground. Advanced
The body stretched like candy and blinked.
He swung a wooden sword.
Here, he swung hundreds of thousands of times.
Master also moved his arm.
The chuhon went out aiming for each other’s neck.
Kwagwagwagwagwang!
The two swords bit each other like living dragons.
“The funeral has come all the way to my legs. You crazy about this sword.”
Knives were leaning against each other’s necks.
Dan Chun-wu was sincerely admired.
To the talent of the disciple right in front of you. And for a longing that goes beyond that.
Only one year.
Achieving this level in just one year is one of the best in the history of the midfield Moorim.
“This is too much praise. Master.”
“Keep moving forward, if it were you, I would recognize that the main body of the main seat is also the successor to the Reverse Sky Sword.”
Lee Do-jin bowed.
“Don’t forget that wasting one’s life was only possible here.”
“I will keep this in mind.”
Chunwu Dan grinned.
It was a modest succession ceremony that no history will ever remember.
However, it was a succession ceremony that was inevitably meaningful to Dan Chun-wu, who was summoned here through the Moon Ha-Mok.
It was even more so with Lee Do-jin.
“To reach 4 seconds. You guys can do it alone. Do Jin-ah.”
“I will make it.”
“What you learned was nothing else, the Reverse Heaven Sword. Wherever you go, don’t get hit. He is the 3rd successor of the Reverse Heaven Sword.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Don’t lower your head easily.”
Dan Chun-wu’s body began to disappear.
“… It was quite a satisfying entertainment. Disciple.”
Lee Do-jin stared blankly at the scene.
“Please take good care of the disciple. Mistiltein.”
Mistil Thein nodded his head broadly.
Whether it’s an illusion or just an alternate body. Do-jin Lee’s obvious first teacher, Sword Emperor Dan Chun-wu, has disappeared.
Lee Do-jin felt his heart swell as if something had blocked it.
Mistiltein faced Lee Do-jin.
“Get ready. Master.”
I didn’t have time to reply before my eyesight went out.

From noble mtl dot com
I opened my eyes.
I could see the ceiling of the living room, not Mistiltein’s world.
[Relax.]
Advice The voice of Misteltein in the ego state rang in my head.
I slowly raised my body.
A terrible sense of alienation swept through my body.
Six months in real time. My body, which had been trained for a year in time in the world of Misteltein, was inactive.
But the important thing is not this body.
I sat cross-legged while holding a wooden sword.
The reverse heaven method was also used.
A colorless air current wriggled throughout his body.
“Inner potency remains the same.”
The 2 stars of the Reverse Sky God were clearly left behind.
All that’s left now is to train the body like before, and properly handle the herbivorous diet of the Reverse Heaven Sword.
There are 10 months left until March 2, 2046, the academy entrance exam.
Enough time.
Rumble!
… Eat something first
***
I swung a wooden sword alone.
Eat and sleep. Wielding a wooden sword practiced the law.
After falling into ecstasy and swinging the wooden sword thousands of times, I missed the sometimes noisy master.
Time passed quickly.
I rode several mountains to develop my stamina and strength.
My body had reached the state right before I said goodbye to Master.
March 1, the day before the Iroas Academy entrance exam.
I might be late if I left at dawn on the day, so I took the train and arrived in Seoul in advance.
I took a room at a hotel near Iroas Academy.
Since I was alone anyway, I wanted to go to a cheaper motel, but there were no motels nearby.
“It is on the 12th floor. Customer.”
The hotel front desk clerk held out the hotel key to me with a typical business smile.
I went into my room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed.
I had wielded a wooden sword to my heart’s content, so I needed to adjust my physical condition the day before the entrance exam.
I closed my eyes.
According to my will, I entered my heart, the world of Misteltein.
Better….
The sound of the flowing river rang in my ears.
Mistiltein was sitting on a rock.
The wavering green eyes looked directly at me.
“You are here. Master.”
Mistiltane’s voice rang in my ears.
“Yes, Mistiltein.”
I sat next to Mistiltein.
“Thank you, thanks to you, I came this far.”
I was sincere.
Without the slightest exaggeration.
That day, the day I dropped out of Athena Awakened High School. If you didn’t have Mistiltane in your hand.
If Mistiltein hadn’t chosen me, I wouldn’t have come near Iroas Academy.
A loser with no talent who couldn’t awaken mana.
Human scum that has never even set foot in the world of hunters.
You must have been blaming yourself like that and sitting down.
Thanks to Mistel Tane, you can use her mana and energy when you pick up her wooden sword.
I also met Master Dan Cheonwu.
What made me who I am today was nothing but myself and Mistiltein.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
Mistil Thein smiled shyly, tucking her long white hair behind her ears.
“Master, all the egos that have descended into this world recognize themselves as tools. A tool for the master. The being who sent us down entered it that way.”
I shook my head.
“You are not a tool. You are my only helper.”
Mistil Thein nodded her head.
“That’s right, I am the master’s helper.”
And he leaned his head on my shoulder.
“Because the owner made me think that way. Not a tool, but a helper.”
“Please take good care of me in the future.”
“Yes, sir.”
***
Mistil Thein stared at the seat next to her back to reality, where Lee Do-jin was.
And then he muttered softly.
“Already, master gave me salvation.”
The ego cannot arbitrarily choose its owner.
The standard is unknown, but it will be activated for targets that meet the conditions.
And until then, the world of the ego is nothing.
Nothing black.
Nature and forest. Trees too. Without robbery.
You can’t even see your own body.
The world of black is just darkness.
Mistiltane was trapped alone in the darkness for decades.
After entering the heart of Lee Do-jin, the world of Mistiltein bloomed in darkness.
The day Dojin Lee dropped out of Athena.
Misteltain and Lee Do-jin saved each other.
***
On the day of the Iroas Academy entrance exam.
I checked out of the hotel and went outside.
It was a little after 8:00 AM.
Iroas Academy.
Korea’s largest hunter training institute.
Carlton Academy in the United States, called the world’s No. 1 Hunter training institution. Iroas Academy was the place to be evaluated as being on the same level as Carlton.
It was only natural that the facilities and scale were state-of-the-art.
“Welcome to Iroas Academy. After applying for admission, please line up according to the group guide.”
The tone of voice contained respect for the audience, but the voice and face did not.
A voice that sounds like it would have soaked dozens of monsters yesterday.
Anyone could see that it was a face that lived on a knife at the forefront of the raid.
He was wearing a nameplate necklace that was too small for his huge size.
Park Chul-woong, spearman instructor and general manager of combat-related entrance exams at Iroas Academy.
Well, you have to have that level of force to become a new adult here. Everyone wanted to be able to suppress the blood of 20-year-olds who thought they were strong.
I lined up in the second group I was assigned to.
As the group for the entrance exam was randomly assigned, my class grade had not yet been determined.
There were 10 sets in total.
“As all applicants know, the entrance exam at Iroas is conducted in a battle royale system. A total of 20 people enter each test room. Two players will be drawn from each group.”
Everyone paid attention to Park Chul-woong’s words.
“It takes place in , A virtual space created by wizards and alchemists. In other words, even if you die in the Colosseum, no damage will be done to your real body.”
Park Cheol-woong looked around the students slowly.
“Iroas is not responsible for trauma, PTSD, etc. Related to what happens at the Colosseum. Those who have given up on the entrance exam, please go home now.”
No one raised their hand.
All of them were holding their weapons in their hands. Swords, spears, bows, gauntlets, axes.
It was a variety of weapons.
All battle-type Battle Royale entrance exams participate except for the ‘Wizard’ class among combat-type awakened people.
In the case of the wizard class, it seemed that a separate entrance exam was being prepared.
I was carrying a black wooden sword bag with a wooden sword on my back.
Tuk Tuk-
Someone tapped me on the shoulder.
A man of probably the same age was behind me. He was holding a spear in his hand.
“Hello? Oh, aren’t you a retaker?”
“Yes, no.”
“Nice to meet you. Hey, after counting, it looks like the two of us will go into the exam hall together. This is also related. What is your weapon Is it a sword?”
“The wooden sword.”
“Huh?”
“A wooden sword.”
“Throat…sword?”
He looked at me like a madman.
“Two members from each group, please enter.”
Finally, my turn has come.
