Chapter 77
“Now this is how we do it…”
Lee Han held up his dagger and swung it gently ·
Grumbling·
-Flower petals were in full bloom at the tip of the sword·
The cadets’ eyes widened as they stared blankly at the beautiful petals.
Even though I confirmed that it was an ordinary dagger and not a magic item the petals spread.
It’s truly a magical moment in a fairy tale.
The chicks’ eyes became moist like girls steeped in fairy tales and Bear and the master grew fond of their childhood recalling the knight’s martial arts poems that old bards told them whenever they stopped by the estate or village.
Not only does he scatter flower petals with his sword but he also uses them as a means of attack…
Isn’t this exactly the kind of skill knights in martial arts poems would show?
Sarah·
The petals melted like snowflakes as they touched the dirt floor.
However what remained in the place where the melt had melted was a hollow floor in the shape of a flower petal.
It shows that not only is it beautiful but its power is also formidable.
Boys and girls looked at the plum blossom sword technique with longing eyes…
“Wow how is something like that possible?”
“beautiful···!”
“Show me everything again!”
I shouted for an encore.
“…Can you please stop?”
It was the tenth encore and Lee Han was slowly getting tired.
Although this may seem like an easy task it consumes a lot of stamina…
However no matter how difficult the clown is the audience does not care…
“Ha just one second okay? Please…”
“···grunt·”
He couldn’t become an adult who was so stoic that he refused the pleas of crying chicks.
“Oh my dear…”
Lee Han who unexpectedly became a clown once again made plum blossoms bloom with his sword.
‘If I perform on the street might it be a big hit?’
It was Lee Han who unexpectedly developed a talent that would lead to handsome profits.
* * *
The reason Lee Han acted like a clown was no different.
– Instructor can you teach me that technique?
Disciples who earnestly desire the Plum Blossom Sword Technique
Even the elites who said that all they needed was a fighting technique even secretly revealed their greed for the plum blossom sword technique.
I guess that’s why swordsmanship is so attractive…
but·
‘I can’t stand making a plum blossom with a sword…’
You make a flower bloom with a sword and even attack with it?
This can’t be anything other than a sword technique filled with style.
So even in my past life I guess there were many cases where the Volcanic Sect kids were the main characters…
···but·
– I’m sorry but I can’t teach you this yet.
It is not a fundamental martial arts issue that was jokingly mentioned…
The real problem is that this skill is still imperfect and cannot be taught.
Incomplete technology·
The method of use of the Plum Blossom Sword is Lee Han’s original technique developed solely through his special senses and intuition.
Not only was there not enough time to establish a theory but even that was still very clumsy.
There…
– I feel so energetic after using this.
If the sword skills shown by Loen the previous day were a work of art completed by a complex combination of techniques that stand out for their genius then Lee Han’s sword skills were simply an expression of sword power by recklessly using his entire body’s energy and the sword in return.
In other words it is only disposable.
In addition not only is it disposable but the risk is also considerable.
After using sword power there is a presumption that you will unconditionally lose the sword…
It hurts to even explain how absurd it is to lose a weapon on the battlefield.
But not only that but you also experience tremendous fatigue after using it…
‘I’m like this too but they can never handle it…’
Even he who boasts physical strength ten times that of most knights is so strong that if they use him I don’t know what kind of disability will occur in his body…
It would be fortunate if it only ended with fainting but the risk to one’s life would be high.
So although he is not stingy with teaching techniques he had no choice but to refuse this time.
I explained a sufficient and valid reason and the cadets understood but…
– Well then! Can’t you just say it’s a sightseeing experience?
– I miss Bo!
Is there a concept of vicarious satisfaction in any world?
Even though they couldn’t learn the Plum Blossom Sword Technique right away they were eager to see it and Lee Han couldn’t refuse the request of the guys he was attached to.
‘Like you said maybe I have a rather affectionate personality?’
Demonstration of the Plum Blossom Sword Technique…
I didn’t use all my might like when I fought the Demon King so the dagger didn’t break right away and I didn’t waste all my body’s energy.
Unexpectedly I was able to practice the Plum Blossom Sword Technique and in about the eighth demonstration of the Plum Blossom Sword Technique I was able to successfully make a flower bloom with just a light hand movement.
However in return for maturity…
“Oh my gosh I’m dying…”
“Instructor are you okay!? “Here have some water and food!”
“···thanks·”
Lee Han who collapsed from exhaustion was recovering his strength by lying on the grass and eating drinks and sandwiches provided by Irene Windler.
Looking at Lee Han like that Irene Windler
“this person···! What are you doing! “How can we make someone who already suffered so much the day before suffer like this!”
“That’s it…”
“Don’t make excuses!”
“…I haven’t even made an excuse yet…”
She was a fiery angry girl and the cadets had no choice but to lower their gaze and observe her behavior.
If you think about it it happened because Lee Han was more excited about it as training but to a girl who is blinded by love the other cadets are just villains.
The girl growled and the cadets were even more shocked…
Usually when Irene Windler growled she was just as cute as a Pomeranian but now it was different.
‘How can you confront someone who causes natural disasters through magic?’
‘It was incredible magic…’
‘You must never offend someone. If you did it for no reason our territory will be destroyed.’
Didn’t you see it?
A girl who thought she was just a physical eunuch controlled the entire lake with magic and even manipulated gusts of wind to create an electrifying magic…
Even if it was a small waterspout it had the power to wipe out a small or medium-sized territory and considering this confronting the girl was something that should never have been done.
Because we have become so familiar I realize once again that Irene Windler like Loen is a monster who can be called a genius outside the standard.
“Don’t say too much to the kids. I was so excited that I showed off my sword skills along the way.”
“Hmph…”
However he who had been lying down calming down such a monster girl as if he were training him got up.
He still looks tired but he says he still has to do what he has to do as an instructor.
And he…
“I’m sure you’ve gotten sick of it by now right?”
“····”
“I’m not criticizing you. I’m asking you about your impressions of this sword technique.”
“Umm…”
Only then did the cadets realize that the instructor had no intention of scolding them and was asking them a serious question and they were momentarily troubled.
I wonder why I’m asking this question but I seriously think about it because I know that people don’t ask questions without any reason.
Not long after a blue-haired girl who is typical of an honor student raised her hand.
“… I thought it was a skill with a lot of gaps… It’s definitely a threat as the sword energy spreads like flower petals but that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to avoid or defend… Of course I’m not saying it’s possible at my level… It’s just Arno. “If it’s Master Kunta Master Garand or Prince Loen…”
Sze…
The girl’s eyes met and each of the four people responded with an expression that seemed unfamiliar with the honorific used for them.
“You can just use Kunta… And like Gomsun said you can stop it… Instead I think you’ll have to sacrifice an arm or a leg…”
“Please speak in peace my lady… If I had to answer I think it could be avoided… There were definitely a lot of gaps…”
“It’s a little strange… hmm it’s possible to fight against them just like the others… However it seems like it would definitely be a powerful tool against monsters…”
“I am an alumnus…”
It was their statement and the cadets blinked…
I thought it was just a flashy and powerful technology but when I heard this…
“So you said… there is no root…”
I didn’t feel like it was a very strong technique…
It wasn’t that Lee Han undervalued the Plum Blossom Sword Technique and he wasn’t acting like a clown…
I wanted to clearly show them…
It may only work on monsters with extremely low intelligence but compared to humans it is a subtle technique…
Although it is flashy it is still an extremely cost-effective technology.
“When it comes to swordsmanship or martial arts even if they look flashy there are not many cases where they have substance. A martial artist whom this instructor respects said that a person who has practiced one kick a thousand times is scarier than a person who uses a thousand kick techniques… In this way in swordsmanship it is not important to know how many hundreds of sword techniques but how well you practice a single cut. So focus on the basics and do not envy other people using sword techniques. Going your own way is important. Because it’s more important…”
This was not just a teaching given to cadets.
I felt it through this battle but Lee Han had to realize how inadequate he was.
If he like Baltar had trained a sword technique capable of beheading a monster with a single sword what would have been the result?
Maybe he wouldn’t have been defeated so vainly…
‘It’s because I believe in power too much…’
He thought that it was time to dig deeper into what he had rather than simply believing in the functions of the body.
The basics are basic but the level of technical achievement must be increased.

And even the plum blossom sword technique I acquired this time…
You need to train all of these things deeply to improve your skill level not just your power.
And if that happens…
‘At that time I will kill it with my own hands whether it is a ghost king or something…’
It was a decision not to let anyone decide my fate…
Lee Han hoped that his students would not make the same mistake of putting off important things as he did and he shared the most important teachings of his own.
* * *
Meanwhile Derek who had already become a bundle of money was sighing…
‘How did I happen to be here…’
He is not the sports club type so why is he at the end of this worldview sports club?
‘Is this the life of a debtor?’
‘If you’re going to pay off your debt should you pay it back with your body or with your information?’
It was he who forcibly transferred him to the swordsmanship department with the remark and Derek was extremely embarrassed but since he had committed something against him he had no choice but to accept even if he made unreasonable demands.
But Derek didn’t stay with him just because of his debt…
‘I also have to take initiative…’
Didn’t you realize this through this incident?
We can’t be bystanders forever and we can’t wait for help like this time…
The right choice would be to be in a place where there are trustworthy people and key players are gathered.
If something happens I’ll be able to respond…
So the reason I came to the Department of Swordsmanship was not just to pay off my debt but with a great determination to make the first move.
But looking at it like this…
‘Now that I see it only the names are gathered together?’
Derek realized that everyone gathered in the swordsmanship department was a named class.
Barbarians swordsmen mercenary kings’ disciples etc. are people who can be your best helpers or enemies.
Originally they were characters who would play a big role in <The Villainous Lady – ‘The Battle of Irene Windler’s Subjugation>.
···Now is it·
‘The villainess doesn’t seem to be a villainess either…’
I don’t know what kind of characters the other important supporting characters will become in the future since the villainous daughter character seems to have disappeared somewhere due to a twist in the route.
‘The Grand Duke of the North and the villainess are also like this…’
The reality is already 180 degrees different from what you know.
Derek’s bone was hurting but he decided not to care.
I don’t know what kind of butterfly effect caused the man who was supposed to be the Grand Duke of the North to become an academy cadet or the villainess’s daughter to become an innocent girl but one thing is clear…
‘If you do your best you can turn your fate around…’
As he showed…
Rebellion against fate shown by an unheard of hero class
After seeing this Derek decided not to treat this world like a game anymore.
So the important thing right now is to use the information you know but to use it appropriately without getting carried away.
Yes for example…
Sigh…
‘···I have to decide whether I should prevent the misfortune of someone who will become a big name in the future… or whether I should leave him alone…’
Derek’s eyes landed on a girl with matching blue hair.
The face was so different from the one he knew that he did not recognize him at first.
However after hearing the name and checking the girl’s last name I realized…
In fact it is a girl with an interesting setting who was considered to be the ‘protagonist of the second part’ during the planning stage who may be more important than Loen or Irene Windler.
‘···What should we do with the saint…’
A girl who would later become the saintess of mercenaries after the death of the mercenary king.
‘Mercenary Queen [Levi Joan of Arc]·’
15 years later as the vanguard of the ‘revolutionary war’ it was Derek who looked pitifully at the girl who would be called the fear of the nobles.
···Because I know that the girl’s ending does not have a happy ending worthy of its name…
