A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

Chapter 82

82 – Etiquette (3)

As in any other game, Soul World has a system called parrying and counterattacking.

Parring is the act of parrying the opponent’s attack with the body or weapon, and counterattack is the act of returning the attack by parrying or other methods.

The concept is similar to that of counters, but different. Counters attack at one beat faster, and counterattacks return the opponent’s attack as it is.

Parring is easy if the timing is right, but counterattacking is difficult. The concept of returning an attack as it is is quite difficult.

So in Soul World, counterattack is a skill for experts. Not only is it difficult to get the timing right, but unlike parrying, it is impossible to learn without skill.

Like how Rod cut through space and returned my fist intact, and like how he returned the thunderbolt I sent back.

“······Collock.”

I was properly hit by Lord’s counterattack, and a weak cough leaked out. I was electrocuted by my own lightning.

The technique he just used is a counterattack that only skilled players can use. A counterattack that reverses even intangible attacks.

Among them, lightning is a natural force that is very difficult to counter. Due to the nature of lightning, if both feet touch the ground, you will be electrocuted.

At this, Rod also jumped slightly and hit my thunderbolt. In the meantime, the flight time was quite long enough to talk.

“It’s a bit burnt. The tan marks are difficult to remove, so I’ll buy you new clothes later.”

“··· ···”

Rod struck down a thunderbolt like a prosthetic ninja somewhere and spoke in a relaxed voice. It is still a posture of holding back.

In terms of power alone, it’s a thunderbolt similar to Hector’s. However, Rod responded very easily.

I was able to feel how strong the rod that was freed from addiction was little by little. I think it will be really reassuring when the academy collapses.

“·······How?”

I have to ask how you did it before. I know the technology itself, but I want to see it in person.

Hasn’t it been said since ancient times that it is better to see once than hear a hundred times? I also wanted to see it with my own eyes.

And Rod was very kind and answered my question. He gave a relaxed smile and explained in a calm voice.

“Like your thunderbolt, there are many different forces in nature. Gravity, magical power, intellect, firepower, etc. Most of them have no specific form. So controlling them is very tricky.”

“··· ···”

“But there is a way to control those forces. The ability to freely control all the forces in the world. In the East, this is called ‘Geongondaenai’.”

It is a martial arts term that everyone has heard at least once. Although I don’t know the specific meaning, I can control the power itself as the Lord said.

You will be able to cook with the sword to your heart’s content not only the intangible power of lightning, but also water and fire.

Cutting space is a similar principle. It distorted the laws of nature and disregarded the restrictions.

In a nutshell, it is essential to learn the Kunkondaenai in order to go up to a higher level.

Even if you don’t have it, it won’t affect the story, but if you’re looking for strength, it’s good to get it.

“If you reach the pinnacle of the age of Kungon, you will be able to fulfill even Gyeongcheon-dong. I’m having a hard time because of my age, but I don’t know if Rize will be able to do it.”

“Comrade Gyeongcheon?”

“It shocks the sky and shakes the earth. A force that can literally shake the world is an earthquake.”

That’s why Rize calls him a white beard who learned boxing. A single punch can cause an earthquake.

Sword and Kwon Seong. As the meaning of ‘star’ is attached to the back of all of them, the strength is indescribable.

If you think of the stars themselves floating in the sky in the first place, they are already part of the sky.

‘Did I just fool around?’

I suddenly regret it when I was properly hit by the counterattack. I applied for sparring to eat as much candy as I want, but I only received training.

But I can’t give up. I don’t know about the thunderbolt, but I still have one trump number left.

First of all, it seemed better to change the location. If you use it as it is, it will fly to the academy.

“That man from the east strikes thunderbolts and shakes the ground just by standing still… Well, isn’t he interested in worldly affairs in the first place?”

“··· ···”

“Are you going to continue anyway? If you give up, you can finish as soon as you give up.”

“No.”

I can’t give up. At least one effective hit seems to be enough.

Unlike Hector, he won’t run wild. Except for the wide width, I just use all the numbers I have.

I brushed my hair roughly to brush off the tan. It seemed that I would have to visit the barber shop sooner or later.

“Only one.”

“If you can hit me.”

Rod shrugged his shoulders. It’s not bad to wait and see how long that leeway will last.

I looked around before attacking. Unfortunately, the site is wide open, so it is not suitable for an ambush.

In the end, it means that you have no choice but to use the straight attack method, but you have to consider the location carefully because someone else could get caught up in it.

“Huh!”

So I just ran. If you keep pushing, you might be able to hit at least one.

First of all, what I’m aiming for is to grab hold of one part of the body. The hand holding the sword would be preferable if possible, but the Lord would know that too.

Get it!

So I guess I’ll have to be a bit sleazy. Right before I reached the front of Rod, I swung his leg like a broom.

The dust on the floor spread in front of Rod. If this is the case, you will be able to cover your eyes to some extent.

“Umm…”

Rod frowned and closed his eyes, as if he hadn’t expected me to act like this. This will completely block your view.

Ha-su will grab his arm and attack. But that’s not what I’m aiming for.

While the rod pauses for a moment, it takes over his back in an instant. I was looking for this

Jerbug-

I swung an ax as soon as I got behind me, but the rod lightly dodged.

As if he had used the axis method, he was far away with just one step.

It’s okay though. This much was expected enough. There’s only one thing I’m really after.

“Who the hell did you learn from… Um?”

As soon as Rod opened his eyes, he showed a puzzled reaction. Surprise was imprinted on his face.

That’s probably because the red mana was slowly gathering at the tip of my index finger.

It collects through condensation and maximizes efficiency by cutting more finely with handwork.

The skills I learned from Cronus and Gloria. It was eaten by red magic, but it can be applied.

“Wait. I told you not to do that…”

Rod said something in an urgent voice as if he was quite taken aback. Unfortunately, his words were buried.

Peeing!

Because the red mana that had been gathering at the fingertips was fired. The target is not the rod, but the floor right next to the rod.

With his skill, he could have avoided it, so he was aiming for some kind of splash damage. It’s okay that the group is also far away.

Moreover, it’s fast, so it’s going to be hard to destroy it even with a gungondae or something. Now I can aim for an effective hit…

Seeing!

…

Rod quickly cut his sword from bottom to top as soon as Deathbeam came nearby.

Surprisingly, wasn’t the death beam that was heading downward bent upward? The direction of the force is reversed.

Flash!

Soon, the death beam was heading towards the sky instead of the ground.

Kwaguawang!

It exploded really splendidly and created a huge blast at the same time.

“··· ···”

Is that a person? I doubt that he is truly a person in a different sense from me.

Rise did at least receive the blessing of Chaos, but Lord is an ordinary human being.

No matter how much one learns Geongondaenai, how can a person develop such strength? I feel a sense of awe.

“Whoa…”

Apart from that, Rod sighed deeply when he saw the death beam exploding in the sky. It contained a deep groan.

Maybe that’s why, the wild instincts shouted strongly. Get on your knees right now and beg. Otherwise, you will regret it very much.

However, on the outside, there was nothing different from usual, so I stood still without realizing it. At this point I realized

“I didn’t want to be beaten, but… I can’t help it.”

A missed opportunity. He said he accidentally touched the lion who was sleeping peacefully.

Originally, even a lion cares for her cub, but if the cub does something wrong, she scolds her sternly.

It’s because the level of scolding is a bit fierce. Even if a lion roars, it is a human to peck closely.

Sug-

Rod looked around him and grabbed a tiny wooden stick. It is a fragile stick, as if it would break at any moment.

Then he looked around at the stick and nodded his head. The response is that this is sufficient.

“Sivar. I’ll tell you in advance. This is a sword, not a stick.”

“·······?”

What are you talking about again? It’s a fragile tree branch that looks like it’s about to break.

As if he had predicted my curious reaction in advance, Rod swung a tree branch with his characteristic easy-going smile.

The direction of the swing is exactly to the side. A short distance away was a large tree erected upright.

Quarreung!

However, a small incontinence formed on the tree and it collapsed. It was obviously swinging a tree branch, but it was like cutting with a sword.

While I was more bewildered than shocked at what I saw, Rod emphasized again.

“Look closely. This is a sword, not a stick.”

At those words, I looked carefully at the tree branch. A very weak aura surrounds the branch.

Indigo blue magic in the form of a sword. It was really weak, so it was difficult to grasp if you didn’t concentrate.

From noble mtl dot com

“There has been a saying since ancient times. People are ruled with a rod of love, and animals are ruled with a club. We’ll see if this turns out to be a rod of love or a club.”

“It’s a sword.”

“Yes. A sword.”

Sug-

After saying that, Rod took a step forward. It was only one step, but it reached me in an instant.

I was startled and instinctively swung the axe. It’s not a horror game, it’s too sudden.

Damn it!

“Oops!”

However, it was much faster for Rod to strike first. His branch hit my hand.

A terrible pain passed into my hand. I thought I was used to the pain, but I’m not at all.

In the end, Ragnarok fell to the ground, and I responded with an empty hand.

Damn it! Just right!

“Oops! Oops!”
