Chapter 66
Grumble!
The sky is so thick with dark clouds that it is not strange even if it rains at any time.
However even if dark clouds form and rain pours down there is no problem in the Colosseum.
“There won’t be any problem if we continue.”
“No matter how much money I spent not even a raindrop can stop me.”
As long as the Holy Dharma is unfolding no foreign matter can enter that area…
I don’t know if a thunderstorm decides to hit the Colosseum but unless that happens there won’t be a problem…
Even in such unstable weather the battle with the rock trolls continued and although no one showed as great a feat as the young northern lion had shown earlier the crowd was amazed.
“Everyone is pretty…”
“There are a lot of talented people this year.”
There were quite a few retired old knights in the audience and they seemed satisfied as they saw the hard work of the first graders.
Even though its capabilities are still lacking its potential is definitely like an excellent golden egg…
“Hoo is that a unique technique different from the rumored speculation method?”
“It’s a one-off method but it’s definitely powerful…”
The majority of the comments were that all bears were fresh.
He showed decent capabilities as if beating the wizard in the war game wasn’t a fluke.
There were some who fought better than Barry Corpse and some who fought worse but a fight was still a fight.
The unwavering posture was excellent…
And those who came after the bears…
They were cadets who were given the name Master Jo by Lee Han and their evaluation was…
Quaaa!
-Oooh!
A response mixed with admiration comes naturally.
Since they have learned high-level speculation techniques they will naturally be strong but for their age their level is quite excellent.
No it’s more than good it’s excellent…
I have the skills to be able to join a small to medium-sized fiefdom knight corps right now and take my place as a mid- to upper-level knight right away.
“That’s amazing for kids these days I learned the basics properly…”
“Yes that’s how you do it. Just practicing speculation is not a shortcut. It’s important to be sincere and do your best to learn everything one by one.”
18 If Bear is still at the level of a decent middle-to-upper-level mercenary who is still lacking in many ways and still has a lot to learn they will be at the level of knight trainees with a purity that is not typical of today’s aristocrats.
Purity that knows how to work hard without resorting to expedient methods
“Good!”
The old knights who lived in the era of the previous king expressed their satisfaction.
I’m sure those kids will make a name for themselves in no time…
If you work hard like that you will make your name known even if you don’t like it…
The old knights who felt satisfied seeing the knight trainee showing off his correct skills for the first time in a long time thought that the surprise was over but they were shocked by those who showed up later.
Kwazijic!
Coooooo!
“···What are they?”
“They’re not at the first-year level. No they can already choose any knight corps and join.”
“Isn’t Prince Lionel the only one who was a mutant? Hehehe…”
Overwhelming the rock troll…
No to be more precise the old knights who confirmed the three people playing with them expressed both admiration and silence at the three people who would have had a hard time guaranteeing a winner even if they were in their prime.
“Did you say kuntara? “I heard that the strength of the barbarian warriors once scolded the continent so I understand why.”
“Are you Lord Offen’s grandson? Hehe he is also a swordsman… I don’t know where that bloodline goes.”
“Mercenary King that monster has managed to raise something that looks exactly like his younger enemy.”
Far beyond the level of a cadet…
Talented people who are no longer at the level to be taught but who need to become knights right away.
While young people envy their gem-like sparkle and become depressed older people shake their heads as they witness the vitality of youth.
Although they were old knights who knew that the level of young knights in the royal capital was declining they were filled with joy when they saw that there were so many great seeds among those who would be responsible for the next generation.
“Which child taught this?”
However they knew how to face reality…
Recently I wondered if there was someone among the young people who was so faithful to the basics and yet taught them in a ‘non-aristocratic way’…
The reason they can’t even think of the swordsmanship instructors making it that way is not because they are narrow-minded but because of the suspicion in a corner of their hearts that arose due to the negligence of the former instructors.
While the old knights were thinking deeply…
“hmm?”
“···A cute child has appeared?”
“Hehe is that kid trying to fight now?”
I thought all first graders had graduated now…
Although there are female cadets most of the young ladies who make up their grades through debate and other subjects often abstain from the last subject…
But no way…
“Dangcha-kun…”
“Hehe it reminds me of Lord Offen from back in the day…”
A female cadet standing confidently on stage…
Levi Folt drew his sword and stood proudly in front of the rock monster with his slender body.
* * *
“Whoa!”
Levi Folt’s heart trembled ·
In Vulcan the brothers gained experience by catching wild boars and mutated bears while marching but it was impossible for Levi who was inexperienced and unsightly at the time to participate in such hunting.
In the war game the previous day the girl only gave instructions and in fact did nothing but get a fork from the fully prepared table.
However there were many people who looked at him with strange expectations so Levi felt embarrassed and burdened.
still·
‘It was my choice to come here…’
So even if she’s scared she can’t run away
Everyone tried to stop me from making my choice.
‘Aren’t other grades already enough?’ Etc. ‘Don’t do it because there will be another opportunity’ etc.
There were many people who persuaded
However Levi Folt humbly accepted all her shortcomings and stood here ·
‘I have to prove myself!’
Levy stopped her trembling and focused only on the cold grip of the rapier.
The girl in her light leather armor gradually put one of her hands behind her and slowly put out her front paw turning her body sideways and only her gaze forward. ·
If you are a child of a noble family you will learn basic sword skills.
The girl tightened her grip on her rapier assuming a stance known as the sword strike or basic fencing sword stance. ·
[GRR?]
The rock monster lowered its stance as the opponent was much weaker than expected.
It was so insignificant that it was mistaken for a small animal like a rabbit.
But Levi…
“Thank you for ignoring me…”
Phew!
In that position she kicked her foot and the rapier cut the wind.
Instantaneous movement of the center of gravity and strengthening of the sword using the sutra
And these rapiers are exactly…
Phew!
[GRR!?]
She stabbed the rock monster in the eye.
It was precisely pierced into those tiny eyes…
Just before the monster started struggling and struggling violently in pain Levy quickly retrieved her rapier and moved to the left side of the monster.
Movement techniques that are as natural as flowing water
It was a testament to how hard she practiced her basic steps until the leather on her feet exploded.
“Hoo hoo…”
Gives her time to catch her breath ·
Fortunately it would be difficult for her to spot me because I moved in the direction where her eyes were pierced.
The rock monster’s only weakness is that it has narrow vision and poor senses…
It was Levy who accurately pointed out the clumsy aspects of artificial monsters.
However you must not let down your guard…
Quaaaang!
‘It’s still playing…’
A monster that regenerates rapidly and has her eyes restored to their original state chases the girl.
Unlike his carelessness just now he appears to be full of anger.
But the girl was smart and knew how to keep her cool ·
As if I had remembered Arno’s advice…
‘Lord Arno said that if we the Arhats of the Hundred and Eight maintain a cool outlook and look for opportunities we can have a great match…’
As they say…
It looks like you keep your cool…
This monster was also artificially created…
Compared to wild animals they are nothing more than models.
However I am not sure if I can truly defeat that monster with my weak strength and clumsy sword skills.
A small feeling of anxiety soared making my heart tremble again…
– Come to your senses!
flinch!
The instructor’s teacher’s shouting echoing in my mind wakes me up.
– The best defense is an attack and the best attack is to look one step ahead of the opponent and swing the sword. In the first place sword techniques such as fencing which nobles learn as basic etiquette were originally created on the battlefield. So if only the swordsman’s capabilities are supported how much will it cost? Either way it will be a powerful swordsmanship…
‘Yes I understand…’
It was just a message that echoed in his mind but Levi followed it faithfully.
As the instructor said although it may be clumsy the swordsmanship you have learned is not that weak…
The original name of the sword which is the origin of fencing is escrime.
It was a sword technique that contained both defense and offense and even now there are people who are praised as masters of the sword by only learning escream.
– Anyway the basics of all swordsmanship are stabbing cutting parrying and hitting. So remember one thing… You will never give up on your opponent.
‘Yes Master…’
Phew!
Levi was an honor student
Because I know how to put the teacher’s teachings into practice without forgetting them…
The girl continued to attack the monster using the same tactics…
Sometimes they stab the eyes look through the cracks and hit the chin neck ankles etc. with the blade of the sword and then cut again.
If it seems dangerous dodge and then take defensive action.
The important thing here is to amplify the power by mixing the light appropriately only when using an attack and never dodge or use the light for other actions.
‘I need to preserve my stamina!’
Levy repeatedly observed the distribution of physical strength and the monster’s condition as a whole and responded.
Anyway he is an artificial monster with only instincts…
It was easy to fool around with this…
All you need is the courage and honesty to stand in front of monsters…
And for Levi…
‘You can do it!’
There was a guy with that boldness honesty and guts…
It was just something the teacher drilled into his head but it was the disciple’s duty to put it into practice even if it was just a cramming method.
Even though Levi Folt fell and was exhausted he kept running and…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“Haaaah haaa…!”
39 minutes 59 seconds·
This was the time it took for the girl to defeat the monster for the first time and alone…
* * *
“·······”
There was silence…
Since no one could have predicted Levy’s victory the surprise that occurred slowly spreads around.
No it’s not just the classmates it’s an unexpected situation for everyone watching the stage…
Even though that victory was merely a result of the blood that made up the monster ran out of power and fell arbitrarily no one makes a narrow-minded assessment…
Because disparaging a prosecutor who did his best and ended up in a complete mess is something that no idiot would do…
“That kid is awesome isn’t he?”
“…yes you are brave…you are definitely talented…”
“Gomsun may be weak in body but he is smart… and he has the heart of a warrior… so he won…”
“Heart of a warrior?”
“Even if our tribe lacked talent we always respected those with the heart of a warrior… Those with the heart of a warrior always became great warriors…”
Muscular talent ability etc.
If you have this you will certainly learn quickly but even so few people become warriors in the true sense of the word…
Because there are only a few people who can actually perform excellent sword skills on the stage of actual combat…
In that sense Levi Folt was great.
Because he cannot but have the heart of a warrior and a courageous will…
Therefore the praise that Kunta gave just now was the highest praise that a barbarian could give to another person.
“Gomsuni will become stronger… maybe even stronger than Kunta…”
“··· Just because she’s stronger than she is right now it means we shouldn’t let down her guard. I understand.”
The bravery the girl showed was more valuable than the sword skills Roen showed earlier…
Everyone paid attention to the girl with her serious expression and slowly her cheers poured out on her ·
Although it took more time than anyone else it was an honorable and excellent…
Yes it is no exaggeration to say that it was a duel between brave knights…
She deserved her cheers ·
“ah····”
Levy was still out of breath and his whole body was limp but in front of the enthusiastic cheers pouring towards me I unconsciously raised my head.
‘What happened?’
It still doesn’t feel real…
In a trance-like state she swung her rapier and repeated the thrust and thrust like a coward.
But at some point the monster stopped moving and I also collapsed…
It doesn’t feel real…
I don’t even know if it’s true that someone like me could have defeated that monster or how I could have stood up to a monster ten times bigger than me…
I feel like my head has become blank…
However the sound of applause and enthusiastic cheering for oneself forcefully awakens the reality.
“I won…”
Won·
Literally the first victory in my life that I achieved alone…
···I’m crying!
Levi Folt had tears in his eyes.
How should I express this overwhelming feeling?
Even these two words accomplishment and thrill may be difficult to express all the emotions you are feeling right now.
And then I realize…
Right here and now I have truly broken the egg that encased me.
I have become a swordsman in the true sense of the word.
“Aaaah!”
The girl was so happy that she spread her arms wide raised them high in the sky and shouted as if she were crying.
-Wow!!
Her audience looked on with satisfaction thinking that she was enjoying her winning performance.
Isn’t this great showmanship?
It was an illusion and when Levy came to her senses later every time she tried to sleep it was a moment of shame so much shame that she kicked the blanket but now she didn’t care about anything.
Just a roar of joy…
Levy who was looking up at her sky and vomiting out her joy…
“-uh?”
─Immediately my complexion turned pale·
Whoa!
···What is that?
Looking up at that blankly Levi Folt was dazed for a moment but for a moment he lost his senses…
Wow!
An unknown chill rose up and fear came over the girl.
Rumbling!
Dark clouds·
The dark clouds overlooking the ground suddenly began to rotate dynamically.
The dark clouds which formed a circle like a tornado gradually widened in the center.
“What is that…”
“····”
Starting with Levi’s reaction the number of people who gradually read the disturbing movement of the dark clouds increased and regardless of who was first everyone who looked up to the sky saw the same scene and felt the same coolness.
The center of a dark cloud that brings deep fear resembling pitch black…
And in that dark space…
Sigh!!
[The Giant’s Hand] appeared…
“!!!!?”
…People couldn’t even scream…
An unidentified arm that suddenly appeared…
It was too big and too terrible…
I was afraid and even my will to run away was taken away…
The appearance of a being that can’t be fought and that shows that even running away is impossible sometimes just paralyzes a person’s crisis instinct.
“Run away…”
Levi Folt quickly got up and wanted to shout to run away but his voice didn’t even come out properly.
I had already exhausted all of my stamina but a monster of that size was falling from the sky…
Although it is coming out slowly the ominous feeling emanating from the monster’s arm is preventing the body from moving.
Peer·
The energy naturally emitted by large beasts and monsters.
Naturally instills fear in living creatures and paralyzes their bodies.
As a weak human being I wouldn’t even be able to think of fighting against that thing…
death is coming
It was the only thought people could think of right now and not even a flash of light was visible…
As the arm got closer only a dark shadow that grew darker covered them.
Jureuk·
“ah····”
Levy shed tears at some point…
In the face of the fear of death which cannot be resisted the person could only shed tears and Levi lowered his head.
The day of victory considered the best moment of life.
I feel a sense of futility and sadness because the victory was only a moment before the day was colored with despair.
···But why·
Sereung·
“Why am I holding a sword?”
Levi’s last moments of his life
He still found himself pulling out his sword wanting to ask questions and seek answers ·
Why am I pulling out my sword?
···The girl was curious·
“─That means struggling and there is no reason for people to struggle to live Gomsun-ah.”
“!!”
I heard an answer that solved my doubts and Levy widened her eyes and looked in the direction the voice came from.
There…
“Still I praise you for holding the sword until the end. I’ll give you the store Cadet Levi Folt.”
“iced coffee!!”
As far as the girl knew there was the most trustworthy teacher on the continent and Levi Folt cried again with relief without realizing it.
Tears of relief that are different from the despairing tears just now…
“A grown woman cries…”
He scolded the crying girl but smiled warmly.
I feel proud of the girl who didn’t give up until the end…
But even this is just for a moment…
He looked at the sky…
“-Did you make our Gomsun cry?”
He growled and strongly kicked the 600kg log spear held in the air by the telekinetic slave.
thud-!
With all my might…
-Guan Il-chang(貫日槍)·
A ballista that could not pierce the sun but could easily pierce a castle wall was fired into the sky.
A word from the author (author review)
