by adminEpisode 118 – Ordinary Sword, Great Sword 5 –
After the shout of the swordsman, the quiet hall became noisy to the extent that it was no longer what it was before.
It was because he was recognized by the Sword Master.
“Would you like to do more?”
Even though the surroundings were noisy, Geomsung just asked if he wanted to do more.
But there was still something to decide.
“First of all, who won?”
“Ha! Are you considering victory in this situation? If I hadn’t let my guard down, this situation wouldn’t have happened?”
He was the one who got stabbed. But the one who stabbed me was me.
I couldn’t even refute his words.
If the Sword Saint had not intended to subdue me, he would not have restrained me with enough force to not break my arm.
If that were the case, the black magic would have failed.
Even if I had escaped, I would have been stopped by him in the end.
“I stabbed him anyway.”
“Ha ha! That’s true, so I have nothing to say. Very well done. It was a great attack.”
The Sword Saint praised me and grabbed the Heavenly Sword stuck in his abdomen.
In order to prevent that action, I tried to somehow prevent it by strengthening the auror.
Unfortunately, his strength was much stronger than mine.
“Then how about a draw?”
A heavenly sword in his hand.
He wiped the blood on the Heavenly Sword with his sleeve and handed it to me.
“Or, you can do more here.”
After wiping off all the blood from the Heavenly Sword, Geomseong raised his eyes to me and handed me the Heavenly Sword.
Through his eyes, I could see everything.
confidence. His eyes were full of confidence that he would never be defeated.
Just like that
I heard something strange, so I looked in the direction of the sound.
It was the side where I inserted the knife.
The wound inflicted by the Heavenly Sword was treated without any care.
A knight who can use Aura enhancement can manipulate his body freely.
If you want, you can intentionally control your heart and stop it, as if you were holding your breath.
A state where you can control your entire body with your own will.
That stage is Auror strengthening.
The blood inside his body automatically flows inward due to the eruption of the aura.
The wound closes on its own thanks to the strengthening of the aura.
Finally, with the support of the Aurors, the cracked flesh was completely sutured and no longer widened.
First aid measures given by knights when they are injured.
Fighting in this state is impossible with any level of mental strength.
He was going to fight like that.
‘I don’t think I would have been that relaxed because I was fighting while practically dying.’
I don’t know what happened to my auror control.
“No. Let’s just call it a draw. Just having a draw with Swordsman would be an excellent response.”
“Haha. It’s a wise choice. You are still quite young… I will definitely achieve great achievements.”
“I think we’re already halfway done?”
“Depending on your perspective, you might see it that way.”
A heartwarming conversation between Geomseong and me.
When it seemed like the sparring was somewhat over, Maximilian quietly appeared and stood next to us.
“So both sides will agree to a draw?”
Maximilian’s words.
Geomseong and I nodded at those words.
“The result of the sparring… … Draw!”
The sparring ended with Maximilian’s words.
““Wow!!!!!!!””
“This is it!!!!!”
“Did you just see Sword Saint’s technique????”
Many exclamations poured out of the mouths of the cadets who were quietly watching the two of us for fear of being disturbed.
“Hey. What on earth is that technology? How did they create such a loophole?”
“I don’t know? I think it’s black magic. But what on earth were you thinking about instantly fusing the Sword Saint’s hands?”
“If it’s normal, it won’t work. And what kind of crazy person would do that by offering up eyes and other things?”
“I didn’t even win. The Sword Saint helped me win.”
“But why did the Sword Saint like it so much?”
“Can you stab the Sword Saint in the abdomen? At 17?”
“Ah. I was an asshole. There seem to be a lot of people who can’t do it even among 4th graders or the top 1st graders of all time.”
“If you have that level of skill. Even among first-year academy students, it’s not enough to get a top rank. He might be close to the top…!”
Fortunately, my public opinion was better than before.
Although most people praised swordsmanship skills.
The public opinion I heard from time to time was more favorable than it was when Professor Rachel was there.
Perhaps it was because everyone knew that in order to cause significant damage to the Sword Saint, they had to use the same skills as me.
“Kkeuuu… ”
Meanwhile, there were a few people who showed reactions other than admiration or awe.
Several factions, including Ariana Crowfield, did so.
In the case of other factions, if they were disliked for political reasons.
In the case of Ariana Crowfield, it was probably because she really thought she wouldn’t win.
“How dare you… ! By using such dirty methods… To be recognized… ! There’s no way I could dare to call that a skill… Awesome ㅡ”
For your information, I am stronger than Ariana Crowfield.
This is because that person has neither learned Auror nor magic.
They say they heard about politics, philosophy, etc.
In fact, the power of this country is maintained not because of politics, philosophy, or economy, but because of the power of the imperial family’s rule and the overwhelming force of the Sword Saint, so its influence on the country is minimal.
“No matter how lucky it was… Even if it was recognized… A fluke is a fluke… You can never become skilled… !”
I guess I haven’t heard before that basic skills can be developed quickly, but elements such as improvisation are more valuable because they are difficult to develop.
Or you’re just pretending not to know.
I could have said something.
It was awkward to say anything about what he was saying to himself, so he just left it at that.
Just like before, if you say something directly, you can just go ahead and do it.
As I was silent, Geomseong approached me first.
Standing right in front of me made it even clearer that he was shorter than me.
He promised me the next time with a happy expression, as if he was seeing his grandchild.
“Let’s meet separately later. Your will was very good.”
“If this is the case, wouldn’t it be right to reprimand the person and say there is no need for such dangerous behavior?”
“If the sparring partner was normal, it might have been like that. In that case, it is done to develop basic skills.
But you had a fight with me. This is sparring to learn how to deal with an opponent who is stronger than you. You risked everything and dealt a real blow to me. Without risking your life.Do I need to say anything more about this?”
“Nothing.”
Geomseong smiled at my cool answer.
“Let’s look forward to the next time we meet.”
Geomseong left as he had next plans.
If this was really going to happen, I wondered why I had come.
‘The Emperor didn’t send the Sword Saint because of me, right? ‘Are you overly self-conscious?’
I wonder if I’m overly self-conscious.
Now that I think of him as the person who saved his daughter’s life, I think it would make sense for him to be a fool.
In the first place, just six months ago, I never thought Alice would like me.
‘Did it go well…? ?’
The world is the result. Whatever the reason or process, it is evaluated based on the results. There is a saying:
No matter what the process is, compare it to other processes with the same result.
The adage is to do well because you do not compare other processes with lower results.
If you follow those words.
It seems like it went well this time too.
‘Why on earth do incidents keep happening after entering the academy?’
What’s really funny is that the only time I rested properly was when I was injured and stuck in the infirmary.
“Then I’ll see you next timeㅡ”
Shake it~
And suddenly, my body began to lose strength and I fell to the floor.
no.
It would be more accurate to say that I collapsed rather than that I fell.
I thought about why I couldn’t get enough strength.
My current state gave me the answer.
‘ah… I have now donated all kinds of organs… !’
I had gotten used to the pain and had forgotten about it.
Right now, I had sacrificed quite a bit of my body to fuse with the Sword Saint’s body + to turn my exterior into a kind of shell.
Geomsung was taken aback by my sudden appearance and asked.
“Why suddenly? Has the tension gone away? ?”
“No. When I used black magic earlier, I sacrificed a few organs, so the problem arose… I think so?”
“What… ? Hahahahaha!!”
At those words, Geomseong let out a laugh.
I also laughed.
Because even when I thought about it, it was truly absurd.
“Transfer to the health room quickly.”
“Okay.”
Following the Sword Saint’s instructions, Professor Maximilian immediately wrapped his arms around me and ran to the health room.
That little incident came to an end.
=========
“Marx Frazer, The Grand Guard of the Helium Empire blesses the sun of the great empire.”
“You came.”
Geomseong immediately returned to the imperial castle and reported to the emperor.
What kind of person is Abraxas Mentutihotep, and is there any potential?
How much can you grow?
Geomseong immediately conveyed what he heard and thought to the emperor.
“Hmm… ”
The highest dignity of the most powerful nation in this land called the Helium Empire.
The emperor was dressed plainly, unbefitting such a position.
The imperial palace was built a long time ago, so it was gorgeous.
The throne room he was in was inferior to the Tantalota Pavilion at the Academy where his daughter was staying.
Rather, it was closer to the Pavilion of Filius, where Abraxas was staying, than to the Pavilion of Tantalota.
“So… What do you think of Marx?”
“What do you mean?”
“Marx. What do you think about Abraxas’ spiritual food?”
An unusual question from the emperor.
Sword Saint thought this was strange because he thought the current emperor was very capable.
‘You didn’t do anything, but you knew the whole story… But you are asking me… ‘
Geomseong expressed his opinion to the man who had the power to dominate.
“I quite like it. After the empire gained an overwhelming position, the mindset of the nobles, even if they were commoners, changed.
Considering that the reason why elite soldiers are feared in war is not because of their skills but because of their mindset and experience in dealing with war, I think he was born with it.”
“It is easy to create someone with the same physical conditions as an elite soldier… It’s hard to find like-minded people.”
“Techniques and techniques can be taught. The mind just needs to be trained.”
The Emperor seemed to like Geomseong’s answer and smiled.
And questions began to well up in Geomseong’s mind.
‘What on earth are you thinking about? I thought I knew a bit about politics because I’ve seen so many people, but…
‘I have no idea what’s going on in that person’s head.’
What method do you use?
I don’t even know what your thoughts are.
Even though I have never clearly intervened in anything.
In the end, I saw countless times that it ultimately benefited the emperor.
Even though it seemed like there was no intervention, it turned out to be beneficial to itself.
He couldn’t possibly know how deep it was.
Geomseong even thought that if he fought the emperor, the end might be his own death.
Of course, he didn’t mean to do that.
“So what is he doing now?”
When the Sword Master is waiting for the next command.
The Emperor asked the Sword Saint another question.
“You mean Abraxas English?”
“Yes.”
“In that case, now… ”
Geomseong paused for a moment, perhaps because it was difficult to say something.
Except for the out-of-the-box existence of Alice Tantalota, I told everything to the person with the greatest power of control.
“The president and… A fight broke out.”
The emperor looked slightly shocked at that remark.
“What? Got into a fight with the president? Can you tell me why?”
The emperor seemed to be interested for the first time in a long time and asked him for detailed information.
“That… If the president wants to drop out for some reason… It seems he was told to beat him in sparring.
So, Abraxas Youngsik must have gained confidence from fighting me and applied for a sparring match.”
“What? Hahahahahahaha!!!!”
After hearing the answer, the emperor showed a boisterous smile that did not fit the character of an emperor.
Geomseong had doubts when he saw him for the first time.
He had assisted numerous emperors for a long time and simply followed them.
“Geomseong. In the end, you have to take the time to join the Royal Guard. When will it be okay?”
“Not an honorary position… Do you mean formal registration?”
“Okay… In the end, if Yeongsik succeeds… Because I’m quitting the academy.”
“You can make time sometime next week.”
“Then, if by chance he defeats the president… Send out invitations to the Royal Guard. It would be okay if you said you were promoted to an honorary position. Because I don’t have the authority to refuse a promotion.”
“Okay.”
Things were progressing smoothly while he was away.
Abraxas would not want this one bit.
