Cradle, sword club. Let’s call time and start an emergency response meeting!

“Wow, this has never happened before, seniors!”

“Your junior is right. We must rebel. A daily club member! You may only be a club member, but in reality, you are no different from recruiting a mercenary!”

“This cannot happen in a sacred club friendly match! You have to say no!”

Some club members advocate the idea of going strong.

It’s not that their opinions are wrong. There is a reason for everything.

okay. So, this should definitely be considered correct.

However, there is one problem.

“Then. Juniors.”

Those correct words can easily turn out to be ‘striking’ words.

“Hey, go in front of that junior. Can you try saying no?”

At the 4th grader’s words, all other club members turn their heads.

There, Deus, a new student, was slowly warming up.

“… .”

“… .”

Those who watched the scene for a moment turned their heads again.

Is that a person? Monster, or devil. It’s one of two things.

“I can’t do it.”

“I can’t do it.”

It would be better to go in front of the monster and ask to fight.

How can someone do that? Is that really a human body?

Isn’t that guy mixed race? It’s just a mix of ogres and humans.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone of that size to have such fearsomeness!

“In a friendly match, all you had to do was get 5 wins first.”

“Yes.”

“We just need to win one more time.”

“That’s right.”

“But. That one time, it was ‘that guy’ standing over there.”

At that moment, the same thought occurred in the minds of the club members.

Should I give up? Should I surrender? Should we accept honorable defeat?

Didn’t they say that sometimes a smart retreat is more valuable than a victory?

‘… no. no!’

―Dori Dori

Although I fell into a strong temptation, even if it was just for a moment.

Soon the members of the swordsmanship club shook their heads with all their might.

It’s nothing else but a club room. It’s also the club room of the martial arts club!

It is the widest and best place, housed in the most up-to-date building.

It is said that when it was handed over to the martial arts club, the seniors hit the ground and wailed.

If I had known this would happen, I would have started the swordsmanship club as late as possible! He said.

This is an opportunity we have had after constantly stimulating and provoking the martial arts club.

Maybe it’s the first and the last. There is a high possibility that they will no longer respond.

The club room must be changed! I don’t want to be in that small place anymore!!

“Gentlemen. You only have to win once. Just once.”

“What you said is right.”

“Don’t look at it short-term, look at it long-term. There are still five of us left. So, the four of us are somehow that monster… No, except for that freshman’s stamina. The last one is the winner.”

Oooh! That looks like a really good plan!

Surely, that seems like a good chance to win! As expected, senior!!

The rest of the club members respond to that opinion in unison.

“For our cozy club room!”

“Swordsmanship club! Swordsmanship club!”

“Let’s win! must! Let’s take the club room away from those fist-fighters!!”

Let’s fight with each other! And the swordsmanship club concludes its strategy meeting.

Then, with a serious spirit, we even decide on the turn and proceed with another friendly match.

“Are you okay, junior?”

Meanwhile. The reaction from the martial arts club was a bit worried.

I know that Deus is the best prospect. I also know that the student council president acknowledged it.

However, the members of the opposing swordsmanship club are also highly skilled.

There is also a rough guess as to what strategy they will use right now.

“I will try to drain my junior’s stamina somehow. The four of you will keep dragging it on.”

“That’s right. And in the last turn, we will put the best talent in and try to compete with our juniors.”

Words of concern pop up here and there.

No matter how talented you are, you cannot be free from physical strength problems.

If your strength increases, the expression of your abilities slows down and your physical abilities also decrease.

So the physical education teachers said, ‘Physical strength! health! Cheryeoeook!!’ I’m shouting.

“I see.”

But Deus just nodded like nothing happened.

“Don’t worry, just keep your promise to me.”

“Uh, ok. of course. don’t worry. From purchasing equipment to moving it… .”

“You only need to provide the money needed to buy exercise equipment. I’m the one doing the moving.”

“Huh? Is that really okay?”

“It’s good to exercise.”

Although I’m not in the final stages of a serious gym addiction, I can’t help but feel sick.

I have to move around a bit, but every time I do that, the students freak out, so it’s uncomfortable.

Isn’t it a shame that the body created through hellish training is falling apart?

“Then I will come back.”

Until then, martial arts club members could not even imagine.

At this very moment, ‘the club is losing 4-0 and I’m smiling.’ This is where the legend begins.

*

The characteristic of martial arts-type abilities is the hexagonal stats that come from a strong body.

Those who have balance in offense and defense. Those who can make more than one serving anywhere.

However, that all-rounder can also be a weakness that holds you back.

Looking at it the other way around, being well-rounded means not being exceptional in any area.

The members of the swordsmanship club were very aware of that fact.

“Phew.”

The second-year student of the swordsmanship club, who was the first to step forward, took a deep breath.

When I look at that new student standing in front of me, my breath catches in my throat.

I desperately want to throw away my sword and run away right now.

But endure it. Must endure. This is all for the club!

‘okay. monster. Think of it as a monster. That would be better. The person standing in front of me is not a devil-looking person, but a monster. It’s a monster… .’

Is it because of self-suggestion? Or is it because they are as vicious as monsters?

The opponent in front of you really looks like a monster! success… Success, huh?

‘… Jeez, damn it. It’s scarier!’

gulp. She swallowed dry saliva and tried to shake off her fear.

You can do it. Anyway, my goal is to lose stamina. Because it delays time as much as possible.

Although his opponent is said to be the best prospect, he clearly has an advantage.

‘That’s the Martial Arts family. ‘There’s no such thing as a weapon!’

No matter how talented a person is, in the end, he or she is a person.

I can’t be calm when a cutlery with a bright blue spirit passes by in front of me.

It’s enough to make you cringe!

“Can we get started?”

“Yes, yes. Please come. Junior.”

Take a breath again. Phew. Whoa…

good. Now, let’s take a proper look at that boy… .

-Too-doo-duk!!

“… ?”

what? what? Why does the sword suddenly become lighter?

Why does this heavy metal feel like a feather?

“Uh, huh?”

does not exist. Above the handle, the sword body that should have been emitting brilliance disappeared.

I looked down to see what was going on and, oh my god.

I don’t know when it broke, but the fragments that were the sword are all over the place!

‘What is this?’

The ordeal of the swordsmanship club did not end there.

Rather, it should be seen as just the beginning.

“Gasp?!”

The second student swung his sword as soon as he started.

However, this time, it turned out to be a sword and was scattered on the floor.

The game was already over before we could do anything.

Next, the third student.

“Huh!”

He tries to crush the enemy’s offensive, which is difficult to catch, with his unique swordsmanship.

The idea was good. If you block it just once, the next move will open.

The only problem was that the opponent even took on the student council president’s wishes with his bare hands.

“Cash!”

The sword energy falls apart without even a single scratch.

Then the body of the swordsman club member was thrown into the air.

“What on earth?!”

Students watching the friendly match screamed and held their heads.

A third-year student in the swordsmanship club who reached the fourth rank.

He was roughly aware of what the current situation was.

‘Before my juniors even realized it, I was aiming for the sword with my fist. This is truly incredible speed. Even I could barely see it at the very last moment.’

I suddenly remember what Neferti, the top student in my third year, said.

“What do you think of this year’s freshmen prospects? Oh hoho! What can I say about that? Nothing less than Deus! I will organize it like this! Oh hoho- Wow!”

It’s not that I didn’t believe it. However, I thought there might have been a bit of exaggeration.

But it wasn’t. It should be said that it was not exaggerated, but rather minimized.

Not for nothing is he the valedictorian of his third year. The student council president wasn’t giving a high praise!

‘Literally, a monster.’

My odds of winning are close to zero. I feel resentful, but I admit that fact.

If so, there is only one action you need to take here and now.

I grit my teeth and focus on defense. Be careful not to disarm.

I’ve already seen his moves twice before. You can handle it well.

He is also a talented person. Now that I know the other person, this much… .

―Sssssut!

“?!”

fast! No, I don’t dare describe it as fast!

What kind of walking method is that? How can you catch up this quickly?

It’s a speed that only those with brecciated abilities can barely see?!

Even if you step back or change direction, the distance does not increase.

I thought about swinging my sword, but if I did so, things would go the same way as before.

‘What on earth should I do…? !’

“Thank you for your hard work. Senior.”

The moment I saw the expressionless expression of Deus, who had come right in front of me.

It’s as if the Shinigami has come to take my life. I had a thought.

―Kwaang!

Current friendly score. 4:4. There is only one point left to win!
