A sandstorm raged.

The explosion continues, as if two thunderbolts colliding with each other.

The flat ground was dug up, split, and crushed, turning into a ruin-like appearance.

Heaps of rising earth scatter like waves, and broken fragments fly out in all directions.

The momentum of Damian’s greatsword became even fiercer, and it was now plowing the entire surrounding area like an excavator.

The heavy sound of a blast splitting the air resounded fiercely like the roar of a giant.

The students, who had retreated far away to avoid the aftermath, watched blankly, holding their breath as the fierce battle unfolded before their eyes.

While realizing the difference in level between them.

What they were looking at was not Damian.

Across from him, there was a woman who playfully overpowered the frenzy of great swords with just one long sword.

—-

– Cooo!

Damian’s great sword, which had been thrown askew, fell to the ground once again.

The falling dirt pounded the armor.

Placing the long sword on his shoulder, he took a step back and smiled leisurely.

“It’s still the same. Still clumsy.”

Damian’s fighting style didn’t change much from before.

A strong strike utilizing the weight and centrifugal force of the great sword.

Rough and extreme movements of leaping and slashing, rotating and swinging the body, and lunging and stabbing.

It was exactly the same as what I saw during the entrance exam.

A tactic that exposes countless gaps and fills them with the force of a great sword.

Certainly, if it were an opponent of similar level, it would have been difficult to exploit that gap.

It would have been difficult to block, let alone counter, a great sword that contained such powerful power.

Easily dodge the large sword aimed at the head, and push the successive slashes under the long sword’s blade, breaking its trajectory.

The sword’s vain twist split the air.

It is simply a swordsmanship aimed at overpowering the weak.

In the end, if you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself, you will be destroyed so easily.

If it’s natural for sword play to be like this, isn’t it natural?

Before coming to the academy, you’ve never met an opponent stronger than yourself.

“First of all, the motion is too big. It’s obvious where you’re aiming, and it’s easy to avoid.”

Avoid the rotating slash aimed at the waist by lying down. A great sword passes before my eyes.

The harsh wind blew through my hair, pleasantly cooling my heated forehead.

“-It’s easy to counterattack.”

He raises his upper body and thrusts his long sword.

Because he swung the great sword too wide, Damian’s body was empty.

It would be difficult if it penetrated, so I relaxed my fingertips, poked his side, and retreated.

The great sword, swung late, cut through the air without any help.

Damian frowns slightly, then leaps forward and spins vertically in the air.

The great sword imbued with centrifugal force fell like a thunderbolt.

“Momentum is good, but in the end, it’s just momentum.”

As long as you have the physical ability to react, such an obvious attack.

You can avoid it by just walking two steps to the side.

Those who are weak may not be able to move due to the force.

The ground that collided with the great sword exploded with a loud noise.

Just the ground.

“It’s not wrong to rely on strength and speed, but…it only works on people weaker than you.”

He trampled on the great sword that had dug into the floor.

The tip of the sword was buried deep into the ground, and Damian’s upper body tilted.

“If your opponent is stronger than you, it’s nothing.”

Damian’s arms swelled as if he was trying to lift the great sword with force.

That sounds like a no-brainer.

The great sword didn’t even move.

That’s right, my one leg has much more strength to push down than Damian’s two arms.

“Keuuut…!”

“I try my best.”

I just kicked Damian.

Damian fell out with a loud groan.

“Do you understand now what your problem is?”

He would have been able to overpower an opponent weaker than him.

An opponent with similar physical abilities would also have been able to fight closely.

The same goes for the entrance exam.

Since Knut fought without a blessing, it ended up being close to a draw.

Was Professor Kaline like that? If the prosecutor’s sexual love and martial arts skills are at the same level, just die.

Damian was in exactly that state.

“Not yet!”

Gritting his teeth, Damian rushed at him again.

Her speaking habits are the same as Millia’s. A little offended.

He raised his long sword.

Damian swung his great sword like a storm.

Like fruit thrown into a blender, the floor screamed and was violently ground.

Pieces of dirt and gravel flew like a waterfall.

It’s a continuous attack that doesn’t stop.

I think it was like this when I was fighting with Nigel.

“Haaa!”

“Yeah, this is better!”

Swing a long sword. Faster. stronger.

He throws away the great sword, blocks it, and sometimes even counters it, all without moving a single step.

– Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga-gang!

The crazy sounds of the collision merged into one and turned into a loud noise.

Fireworks were displayed.

It’s definitely a good thing I spent some money on weapons.

I was once again impressed by the long sword’s performance. If it had been an existing steel sword from the Academy, it would have already been shattered to pieces.

The black iron longsword that Asha had made did not even crack despite this enormous impact.

Although the blades were all shattered.

Rather, Damian’s greatsword, which was made of ordinary steel, was reaching its limit first.

The body of the great sword, which was starting to crack, was clearly visible.

I grabbed the long sword tightly and increased my strength.

“Kaaaat!”

A slash aimed precisely at the cracked area.

Damian’s great sword was split apart with a loud sound.

The protruding front part flies toward the students who were watching.

The students, shocked by the sudden incident, hurriedly fled.

“Kk..!”

“That’s it.”

Damian blocks the punch aimed at the solar plexus by holding up his half-cut greatsword like a shield.

Well, that wouldn’t stop it, right?

– Kwachaang!

The great sword shattered like glass, and my fist went right into Damian’s abdomen.

“Khaaagh…!”

Damian flew horizontally about ten meters.

Surely this wouldn’t cause my internal organs to explode? Because I didn’t plan on sending him to the hospital.

I put my long sword in its sheath, click my fingers, and approach him.

Damian groaned and staggered to his feet.

There’s some blood flowing from the corner of the mouth, but since I don’t vomit blood or anything, I guess it’s okay.

I grabbed both my fists and rushed at them.

It’s time to thrash.

—-

After that, it was almost a one-sided assault.

Damian’s fighting skills were poor.

He can’t properly block or block the punches or kicks, and swings his arms and legs clumsily.

He couldn’t even dream of counterattacking, and only seemed to barely react to attacks aimed at vital points and receive them from other parts.

It’s meaningless against me.

“Kwaaak! Now, wait a minute!”

“You’re not avoiding it, you’re blocking it with your body? Isn’t that your body over there?”

If you catch a hand blade aimed at the nape of your neck with your shoulder, it doesn’t mean it won’t hurt, right?

Damian’s head kept turning.

Like a dancing balloon doll filled with air, my whole body sways around every time I get hit.

Uh, this is a little fun.

“Keuuuu…”

Damian, who was unable to put out his hands or feet and was hit so hard, eventually fell out.

My fresh face was swollen here and there.

“As expected, you haven’t even learned martial arts properly?”

I recognized only one large sword when it was swung to death.

Since ancient times, there is no one who sells only Korean beef that survives long in battle.

It’s a fight where you don’t know what variables will arise, so you have to have all kinds of means.

“It’s a waste of talent, it’s a waste. If you keep missing the great sword like this, won’t you also lose to Millia?”

I’m sure I won’t really support it. Still, I have basic physical abilities.

What is certain is that with this skill, it would be difficult to survive as a hero.

“It won’t work. You will definitely receive special training with me every time we spar from now on, understand?”

“……”

No answer means you agree, right?

Still, like a warrior, he doesn’t seem to back down in the face of hardship.

One attitude is great. Damian.

“Hey, Hashal…?”

“Huh? Millia?”

From behind me, I heard Millia cautiously calling my name.

I turned my head and looked at her.

The violently trembling eyes were full of embarrassment and embarrassment.

As expected, it was a bit of a shock to see the man I admired being beaten so helplessly…

“Damian…I think he fainted.”

At those words, I looked at Damian again.

It was limp and didn’t move.

No, I really fainted. It was still squirming just a moment ago.

My bones weren’t even broken, but I fainted. I guess I need to train my mental strength as well…

Eventually Damian was taken to the infirmary.

The way Millia was staring at me pricked my conscience.

Well, I wasn’t seriously injured, just bruises all over my body and a few cracks.

“Haaa…”

I blew out smoke out of frustration.

The future hero is too weak.

Objectively, if you have that level of skill at that age, it’s not that you’re weak, but rather, your skill level is excellent.

When I think about the future, there is no way to just achieve an excellent level.

Since I am a first year student, there is nothing I can do.

Even if you try to raise them properly, you have to have the freedom to move before you can ask them to do anything.

Because there is a limit to what I can spoon-feed from one to ten.

I guess I’ll just have to keep sparring for now.

If you beat it for two months, you will be able to grow it to the point where it can be used during beastman attacks.

—-

I also had free sparring with Millia.

When he heard that he wanted to spar with me, he thought about it for a while.

He didn’t beat her, but just blocked her rapier and pointed out the problem.

Overall, the swordsman itself was sharp, but it was fatally lacking in sense.

“His concentration is good, but he cannot respond to attacks coming from outside his field of vision.”

So, if there are multiple enemies or their movements are fast, it is easy to get caught in a hurry.

It would be okay for kobolds, but anything more than that would be difficult.

“It’s hard to fight for a long time because I don’t have enough stamina.”

If you fight for more than 3 minutes, your sword skills will definitely start to become sluggish.

“Like Damian, his attacks are too linear.”

Even though the stab is a straight attack, you still have to make sure they don’t know where you’re aiming.

If you see where it’s aiming, just avoid it.

“Still, it’s okay to use your movements to aim for an opening and stab.”

I didn’t forget to praise him for fear of getting discouraged.

After the sparring, Millia smiled and said thank you, so it must have gone well, right?
