A half-moon shaped red sword flew quickly through the cold air.

Sssshhhh!!

I was momentarily taken aback by the fact that I could throw complete magical energy into the air without any medium, but I was able to quickly recognize it with my {sixth sense}.

I was barely able to evade the incoming sword attack by twisting my body strengthened by {magic circulation} in one go.

Wow!!

I, who barely missed a hair, was able to intuit once again how sincere the teacher in front of me, Shaperi, was.

It was a situation where we couldn’t let go of that much tension.

Taaat!

Teacher Shafferi, who was smiling at me as I widened the distance in an instant, once again threw a sword strike composed of a ray of red magical power and began to approach at a high speed along with it.

＇As expected, he saw the attack and was avoiding it.. Dahyun student.＇

This time, instead of dodging the sword attack that was approaching faster, he raised his {armed} hand and cut it straight.

Kaaang!!

Thanks to the properties of the [titanium] material, Mr. Shaferi’s sword strike, which was made up of magical energy, split in half and scattered to both sides of me.

Wow!!

＇Great heat..＇

It’s amazing that he possesses such highly concentrated magical power…

My heart started pounding again as I saw Mr. Shafferi’s crazy smile trying to approach me right away without stopping.

‘It’s too late to avoid it.’

I thought I wouldn’t be able to dodge Teacher Shaperi’s sword that came at me with a sword strike, so I figured out her movements in advance and took a defensive stance.

‘You have good eyes and are quick to act..’

However, Shaferi, noticing Dahuin’s moves, instantly twisted the trajectory of the sword he was swinging and transformed the blade so that it pointed towards his neck, attempting to attack him.

Chiiing!!

The sharp sound of steel clashing against iron quickly spread throughout the training ground.

“Isn’t that person over there Mr. Shaferi?”

A wide-eyed female student asks.

“Hey.. look at that person..”

＂Isn’t that the guy named Dahyun who transferred to the company not long ago?＂

just as expected. The surrounding female students began to gather to watch their violent sparring.

＇Each movement is unusual..＇

‘You can never become this strong through ordinary training.’

＇He must have been constantly training in a murderous manner that was faithful to his instincts..’

Dahein’s flexible movements and evasion ability went beyond imagination.

Dahein’s fighting skills, which already seemed like physical sparring, were at a level that far surpassed {Knight of Service}.

And the more the swords clashed, the faster Dahyin moved, and I couldn’t help but admire its growth. Shaferi assured that if he learned how to use a sword, he would be able to display tremendous power.

“I really can’t believe it when I see it.. That it’s a man.”

“Do you believe it?”

＂Those clunky movements… I can clearly see that it is difficult for those of us who have lived our lives as swordsmen as knights to follow.＂

To others, it may seem like I’m effortlessly avoiding Mr. Shaferi’s attacks…

Actually, that’s not the case.

It was an extremely urgent situation in which a counterattack was not possible because all {sixth sense} nerves and physical enhancement of {magic circulation} were already being used for the purpose of evasion and defense.

like..

Teacher Shaferi’s brutal swordsmanship reminded me of the time when I first trained with Belze in the past… I only retreated a long way back again.

＇Really.. are you planning to kill me?＇

The trembling of my right hand, which barely blocked the heavy sword blow, does not go away easily.

Obviously, if he had not blocked that sword strike with his {armor} and had been hit as is… he would have been in such a terrible situation that not only his {defense shield} on his body but also parts of his body would have been severed.

“haha..”

I feel like I’ve run 60 laps of the indoor playground without stopping.

It hurts so much that my lungs are torn apart.

I managed to take a large step back, took a deep breath, and began to watch Teacher Shaferi’s next move again.

＇He definitely has the most outstanding talent among the students I have ever seen..＇

“I praise those eyes that didn’t give up. All students.”

“But… you didn’t think this was the end, right?”

In Teacher Shaperi’s tone… there was clearly a hint of intent to provoke me. It was clear that he was trying to bring out my true feelings.

Excited.. Excited..

Confronting a new strong person always excites me, and thinking that each experience like this will make me stronger… I decide to respond to her provocation.

＂No way..＂

With my will, I adjusted the {magic power circulation} that was circulating within my body so that it centered around my hands and lower body.

And then… I started to get as low as possible so I could approach quickly.

The boiling muscle makes the veins in my thighs throb! It was pounding like a heart.

＇By applying {Three Footprints} and Sein’s techniques, we can approach in an instant.’

A new skill that I was able to acquire by constantly sparring with the world day and night…

＇I guess I finally got the idea to attack.＇

just as expected. After seeing Dahein’s expression change at once, Shaferi begins to prepare for his attack.

That moment..

Both hands {armed} with titanium slime dent the floor of the training ground!! And as soon as he pierced it, Dahyin’s appearance disappeared.

Just as an opaque solid line was created between Dahyun’s movements, only a crossroads of magical power of the “nothingness” attribute was visible.

The sight looked like a momentary charge of the swordsmanship of the world, {Baldojutsu Epee}, but since each person used different weapons, it was clear that it was a more aggressive attack.

Moreover, Dahuin’s assault method was centered around the {Three-legged Treasure}.

At that moment, Dahuin’s sharp hands quickly and sharply drew a parabola in both directions and headed towards Shaferi’s long sword…

Ting??

Unlike students…

Perhaps because Teacher Shaferi was accustomed to such close quarters, he did not dodge my attack, which was charging at me faster.

Rather, he put his long sword between Da-hein’s sharp, swinging fingers and immediately changed his body’s balance, sending the forward charging force backwards.

＇What is this? It feels like dealing with a beast..＇

＇If I had been familiar with swordsmanship, I would have easily learned this way of swinging.’

Shaferi, who was not going to take it easy even for that split-second, struck Da-hein’s abdomen as he fell down and pushed him away.

Kwasik!! Tuk!!

It was my mistake to only focus my attention on Teacher Shaperi’s sword.

It ruled out that she would attack in this way.

Shake..

With such a huge sound, I was pushed backwards and rolled over several times. I started to take up my position again, but the intense pain in my abdomen made me stop moving.

＂Gagging..＂

＇{The shield} was pierced in one go..’

Of the {defense shields} I wore all over my body, only my abdomen was shattered into pieces in the shape of footprints after being hit by Teacher Shaferi.

While I was thinking about it for a while, the teacher started to open his mouth.

“The strength of the {shield} must be monitored at all times by giving it magic power.”

＂Rather than maintaining the same intensity of magical power in all areas, the effect and efficiency will be maximized if you temporarily strike the area approaching the hitting point. ＂

“And don’t focus too much on just one place.. All students.”

“You are so honest that I can see where your eyes are directed..”

just as expected. Sensing Dahein’s blue eyes and not giving up yet, Shaferi aims his long sword at him again.

‘As expected, Master’s bloodline is different..’

＂Hold the sword if possible＂

＂If you melt that talent into the sword, it will definitely become stronger. All students…”

***

Indeed, it is appropriate to say that he was a {service knight}. Teacher Shaperi did not allow a single attack and pushed me one-sidedly.

＇That went a little too far..＇

In the end, I was covered in dust, breathing heavily, and lost in thought for a moment.

＇As expected… it would be good to know how to use more diverse weapons.. ＇

It was clear that using only one weapon would increase skill level significantly. However, as I felt the need for a variety of weapons depending on the situation, I started thinking about weapons in more diverse areas.

After sparring with Mr. Shaferi, I once again realized the importance of swordsmanship and its various advantages, and as I look outside, the sun has already risen in the sky, I quickly stand up.

＇It’s already time..＇

Part of me wanted to spar with Mr. Shaferi all day long, but I had a more important appointment than that, so I decided to leave.

I couldn’t meet Sein with this much dust on my face.

“Thank you for the couplet. Mr. Shaperi”

“I have an appointment today, so I’ll have to end it here.”

Shaferi seemed disappointed, but seeing Da-hein already in tatters and a mess, I felt like I had to let her go.
