Chapter Index

    The afternoon of the 8th day of training camp.

    Training room in front of the swordsman’s center.

    “You don’t just blindly rotate while stabbing. You must accelerate three times, using the wrist as the first step, the arm as the second step, and the shoulder as the third step.”

    Halo worked hard to teach Ronica.

    In “… So what’s the difference?”

    “It’s like this.”

    Whirly, whirly!~

    Just a normal stab.

    The wind extends much farther than that.

    It was a much wider range of winds than Ronica’s.

    “Wow!!! It’s amazing.”

    “I don’t have the foundation to blow the wind as sharply as you, but I can at least learn the basic principles and imitate them.”

    “I will listen carefully!!”

    “The Wind Cloud Sword rotates not only for stabbing but also for cutting. To be precise, it means putting rotation into the wind.”

    “… Windwalker Sword? Is this the sword method I use?”

    “Ah… Huh. I said this because it was very similar to the swordsmanship I know. Let’s call it Wind Cloud Sword from now on.”

    “Ah! So you know it so well?”

    Enthusiastic teaching.

    Perhaps because he had learned some of the techniques of the Wind Cloud Sword from me, there was no problem.

    On the other hand, Ronica learned the basics of the Wind Cloud Sword, which she had never known before. You may not know it right now, but this teaching will one day lead to enlightenment.

    “First of all, it is important to lose weight when walking, so today we will learn how to maintain balance when moving-”

    Discussing swordsmanship.

    Demonstrate.

    Repeat the movement.

    Let’s have a map sparring.

    Point out mistakes.

    I nodded in satisfaction, lying cross-legged on the ground.

    Tsunami guy.

    Isn’t it great?

    It only teaches simple theories and techniques, but it is explained and taught perfectly.

    Even though he had no talent for mana, he was a genius in pure swordsmanship.

    No, even that has been reborn now.

    I will lead Ronica well in the future.

    “Haha!! Isn’t it a tsunami.”

    While I was in the middle of training.

    A man with short hair parted on both sides appeared.

    “Instructor Croshell… .”

    “Wow, you work hard. So have you thought about it? Should we have an honor duel? Hehe.”

    Is he trying to scratch his insides?

    The sly voice sounds unpleasant.

    If you refuse, you will be ridiculed in a public opinion war.

    If you agree, you will be defeated in a duel and dishonored.

    This must be a lot of fun for Croshell.

    But what should we do about this?

    The current tsunami was reborn.

    The guy has already made up his mind.

    “… I will accept it. Let’s have an honor duel.”

    “What? Hahaha. I don’t know what kind of guts you have, but you don’t think you’ll win, do you?”

    “Noisy. Are you going to fight with words?”

    “Of course not. Tomorrow evening. Let’s fight here in front of everyone. How about it?”

    “Good.”

    “Ho? Have you already thrown away your pride? Hahaha! okay. See you tomorrow then.”

    When Halo obediently agreed to the duel, Croshell also retreated without further provocation. No, he disappeared to make plans for how to sleep tomorrow.

    This time too, he didn’t seem to think about defeat.

    “I… Instructor Tsunami.”

    Ronica approached Halo with concern.

    Instead of being punished, Crochel looks slightly angry at the sight of him cleverly harassing Halo.

    But Halo smiled and answered.

    “Cadet Ronica. I said it before. Adults have adult fights.”

    “… … … .”

    “Thanks to you, I gained the courage to take a step forward and an unexpected opportunity. So please trust me. I have no intention of losing this fight.”

    A confident face.

    Ronica looked at that expression and responded with a similar smile.

    “Of course!!”

    “Okay. then… Should I start training again?”

    “Yes!!!”

    *

    “… Please take care of me today as well!!”

    Morning of the 9th day of training camp.

    Hailo, who had climbed the mountain, knelt down and bowed his head.

    It seems like they are going to take me in.

    “Wake up. Before sparring with Croshell today, I will personally give you guidance and sparring. Since you have reached that level, it would be good to delve deeper into swordsmanship.”

    “… Yes.”

    “You must win no matter what. So that the instructor can never raise his head again.”

    “… All right. But… … I would like to ask you the detailed reason why you are helping me so much.”

    “You already guessed it.”

    “… … … Is it because of Cadet Ronica?”

    “Ronika is my student. Don’t ask any more than that. And it would be better to keep it as your own secret.”

    “Of course!… of course. Even though I am not good at cadet Ronika, I will do my best to guide you. It’s nothing compared to what I received.”

    “Okay. It’s a good posture.”

    It’s already been three days since I met him here.

    In just three days, a lot changed due to the tsunami.

    Balanced muscles and physique.

    My energy changed after reaching 5 stars.

    A strong look that tells you to face anything.

    Although he said it was for his students, he was a guy who was quite willing to teach.

    “Raise your sword. I am prepared to die today too.”

    “Okay.”

    Tsunami’s sword covered with a real sword.

    My magic sword club that made the blade soft.

    The two weapons clashed.

    window!!

    Afterwards, I taught him the basics and techniques of meteor sword techniques, and he corrected his gaps and clumsiness while beating him with me until he collapsed.

    Even though it rolled around on the ground and turned into a piece of cake, it didn’t make a single sound.

    The inferiority complex that had built up during this time caused him to grow rapidly.

    Something like Croshell.

    It won’t be difficult to win.

    *

    A morning at the training camp with the sun rising brightly.

    “Hehehe… .”

    Instructor Croshell smiled bitterly.

    This is because today is the day to have an honor duel with the tsunami instructor.

    “Today is the end for that unlucky guy.”

    He thought he could never lose.

    I recognize Halo’s insight and skill with the sword, but his handling of mana is only at the mid-4-star level.

    Absolute strength is the power of Aurors.

    The higher the level, the stronger the body becomes.

    A strong auror strengthens his body even more.

    Above all, Aurors greatly increase the cutting power and rebound force of the sword. If you can’t strike a sword properly, you won’t be able to use your power no matter how good your swordsmanship is.

    Therefore, in a confrontation between swordsmen, those with lower levels give priority to avoiding attacks as much as possible.

    And in this difference, the winner is easily decided.

    The same goes for tsunamis.

    “Even if he flies and crawls, he can’t beat me.”

    That’s why Crochel dressed up with a pleasant smile and set out for swordsmanship training.

    For reference, he is the 31st swordsman co-instruction educator.

    “Attention everyone. Today, this instructor will engage in a public honor duel with another instructor. This will be a great experience, so I hope everyone comes and observes.”

    ““Yes!!””

    Promotion before class is basic.

    He then spread rumors to his advantage, claiming that Hailo had framed him. After the duel, Halo becomes a laughing stock in the training camp.

    After finishing the morning training, I went to my class.

    “… under. These. How dare you not come to class?“

    Of course, things didn’t go as planned.

    The Aleph cadets, who had gathered together, decided to protest directly to the training center director that day and receive instruction from an integrated instructor.

    If he had not been a co-educator, he would have been converted to an assistant position.

    It doesn’t matter though.

    If this job goes well, many people will flock to the next cadet selection process.

    Your reputation will increase even further.

    Tsunami will only serve as an assistant and then disappear.

    “Hehehe… .”

    Thinking about it makes me smile again.

    But first… .

    “Oh my? Instructor Croshell?”

    “Hmm. Instructor Byndra. Well, I experienced an absurd thing yesterday, and the instructor due to the tsunami… … .”

    I did the below work.

    Anyway, there are no individual cadets to teach right now.

    In his spare time, he mobilized other instructors and connections to inform them of his situation to his advantage and asked them to attend the honor duel.

    Other than that, it was basic to send a message and a small compensation to high-ranking nobles to pressure them into training centers.

    Now all you have to do is finish the duel.

    Everything is going as planned.

    His work will be completely buried, and Tsunami will be reborn as the world’s worst bastard.

    So evening.

    Chi-Ik-

    I sharpened the blade.

    “The time has finally come.”

    I came out to the training center fully prepared.

    “Who will win?”

    “Isn’t it obvious? It’s instructor Croshell.”

    “I heard that the instructor was framed by the tsunami.”

    A large crowd of people had already gathered at the training center, and among them, the tsunami instructor was waiting quietly.

    etc.

    Instructor Richard Jang.

    Chalosi instructor.

    Instructor Blontina.

    Instructor Darius

    Instructor Leifran.

    Many famous instructors also attended.

    He was satisfied that the rumor he had spread seemed to have spread widely.

    First, he approached the tsunami by provoking it.

    “Tsunami instructor. You managed to get out without running away.”

    At that moment, his eyes lit up.

    Startle.

    ‘what? ‘Did you feel wrong?’

    Is this a guy who knows how to show off that kind of energy?

    Well, anyway.

    “Hehe. You seem to be in a very bad mood. If you feel unfair, just win this battle.”

    Eat.

    However, Hailo did not accept it and just laughed.

    It’s as if he’s looking down on himself.

    ‘That’s a lot of bravado.’

    Therefore, they ignored me in the same way.

    Because victory is decided anyway.

    I looked around for a moment.

    “Instructor Croshell is going to win the fight anyway, so shall we bet on how long he can last?”

    “Good.”

    As you can see, there were many people defending themselves.

    Hailo is young and has a low level of skill, but he is an instructor who has made a name for himself here for a long time.

    but.

    “Please, I hope the instructor wins due to the tsunami!… .”

    “Yes!… .”

    I saw an annoying cadet.

    It was a cadet with a black baby animal sitting on his head and someone who appeared to be his friend.

    ‘… Did he come to see that guy too?’

    At that time, my eyes met the baby beast.

    Profit-

    The guy smiles proudly.

    ‘… It was that cadet’s pet. ‘I can’t believe I lost my mind just because of that guy.’

    Kuhuhu.

    This one also laughed.

    My whole body is already feeling excited.

    If Tsunami is expelled like this, that cadet will be left alone, and if he doesn’t reach out, he will be isolated forever.

    Since my skills were quite good, I could use this as an opportunity to use them as limbs.

    After that, I plan to deal with that beast.

    If you don’t want to be kicked out, you have no choice but to follow.

    “Everyone be quiet. I arbitrate the duel.”

    Eventually, the training center director appeared.

    He looked at the crowd of over 200 people and then turned his head to Halo and Croshell.

    “The tsunami instructor claimed that Instructor Croschel attempted to harm the cadets. There were witnesses, but they could not prove the exact intent, and instructor Croschel claimed that he had defamed him with lies and challenged him to an honor duel. Do both of you agree to this?”

    Summary of the situation by the training center director.

    Crochel’s eyebrows twitched when he heard that there was a witness, but he answered quietly, knowing that it would be a loss to refute in this situation.

    ““I agree.””

    “The losing side receives appropriate punishment under my control and competes only with the sword, excluding skills and artifacts. Do you agree this time too?”

    ““I agree.””

    If you win, everything is solved.

    It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any items or skills.

    Because it’s not worth using for something like Tsunami.

    Also, because it seems the most honorable.

    Croschel answered the training director’s questions silently and waited for the duel to begin.

    “Lastly, this is my personal wish. End the attack by suppressing it without causing too much damage as much as possible. Because the cadets are watching.”

    “Yes.”

    “Don’t worry. The difference in skill is clear.”

    “Then… Get started.”

    Finally, duel time.

    Crochel made a mocking expression.

    Likewise, Tsunami also took out her sword.

    Eyes full of confidence.

    However, the momentum of not letting down your guard.

    Croshell’s smile slightly twisted at the sight of Halo calmly facing him.

    ‘This guy…’ ‘Do you really want to beat me?’

    A standoff with swords pointed at each other.

    In that state, Halo opened his mouth first.

    “Instructor Croshell. I will make sure you are punished for swinging a knife at my cadet.”

    Are you trying to publicize the incident?

    People around me start whispering.

    Did they really attack the cadet?

    Is it different from what we heard?

    Isn’t this Instructor Croshell’s fault?

    etc.

    Little questions blooming.

    Crochel countered before it could spread.

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Why would I do such a thing? Don’t slander my honor and fight with your sword now.”

    nailed it

    Stop babbling and act like a warrior.

    “… All right. Then, from now on, you will have to prove that you are a warrior who speaks only without any skills.”

    “Ha?… .”

    “I will go.”

    fault.

    A light leap.

    Halo, who took the lead, slashes his sword.

    ‘How dare you use your skills!!’

    Croshell slightly lowered his stance and raised the aura on his sword to its maximum power. The intention was to use strong force to disrupt the posture.

    Wow!!

    Chaaaang!!~~

    The two aurors collided and sparked light.

    Of course, Croshell is struck at once –

    Kuguk.

    “Geugeukgeuk!!!… … .”

    What?

    It’s heavy.

    The aurors on this side were obviously stronger, but a strong rebound force was felt in the hands.

    The swords that struck each other were pushed to the front of the neck.

    Now I see that the guy’s aura also implements sword power.

    “Why!!”

    Eat.

    I can see Halo’s smile.

    A smile as if asking if this is all.

    It’s hard to believe, but I realized it.

    Tsunami’s level as an instructor is the same as mine. No, maybe one level higher.

    “Instructor Croshell. I hope you don’t fall down easily.”

    A creepy look between the crossed swords.

    The instructor was looking down at the tsunami.
