53 – What’s Worse

Shuina’s mind was complicated.

The next opponent was Lokhan, her classmate and her warrior. She had already exchanged swords with him many times. Rokhan was never a skill to be ignored. He was one of the strongest fighters he had ever fought against.

The swordsmanship was as crude and ferocious as that of a wild monster, and the attacks that came out of nowhere were very tricky.

Shuina never looked down on her opponent. Her mindset made her practice and practice again.

But today, the only thing in her mind was the priest who defeated her opponent in one blow. The warrior Lokhan in front of her seemed to be her first-year priest.

There was too little information about him. The attack method he has shown so far is simple. To wield his staff loudly.

Even in the second bout he attacked with his foot instead of his staff. No matter how much he was the head of the academy, he couldn’t figure out Gran’s attack pattern from the previous two fights.

One thing is certain: Gran’s power is strong. He hadn’t experienced it himself, so he was also difficult to grasp.

Wheeying!

Quaaang!

At that moment, Lokhan’s two-handed sword flew at her head. Shuina dodged her warrior’s attack by leaning back.

Shuina’s spirit fought Gran, her body fought Lokhan. She moved swiftly and dodged all of Lorkhan’s attacks.

She and she scarred Lokhan’s body bit by bit. She did not attack unreasonably. She used her speed to hit and run, harassing Lokhan until he got excited.

Lorkhan’s calm response dulled as time passed. The wounds on her body increased, and she began to feel impatient.

Lo Khan took a deep breath and closed her distance towards Sun Shuina.

Shuina’s eyes flashed like thunder. Rokan, who saw her, knew that she was wrong, but she had no choice but to run at Shuina. Because it was the best he could do anyway.

The bodies of Shuina and Lokhan were crossed. Rokhan stood still, sword raised, Shuina pointed her sword forward. She swung her sword and swung it.

Lorkhan, who was standing still, collapsed to the floor. The quiet arena was filled with cheers.

That’s how Shuina also advanced to the finals. We were given about 2 hours. She drank a potion that would restore her body and ate a light meal.

She then swung her sword until the match began. She tensed her muscles in an unwearied line.

Before the match, Shuina realized that her body was sweating. She has overextended herself. It was her first time experiencing it.

She took a deep breath and left the waiting room.

“Who do you think will win?”

“If I were to bet money, I would still bet on Shu or Hern. I don’t know if Shuina loses…. Strangely, I feel sad.”

“Me too…. In fact, even when Shuina won the championship at first, she was somewhat frustrated, but she said that if the first grader who came in this time wins even Shuina…. Maybe I should quit.”

“Hey, you went to the preliminaries. I didn’t even make it to the preliminaries.”

“I was lucky enough to go to the preliminary round…. How empty she was when she fought with me….”

“Oh, come in.”

[Monstrous existence, monstrous power. There is a player to compete with Visilia’s chief Shuina Hern. His name is, Graaan!]

Gran entered first. He pushed himself into the ground with a giant stick, and the sound of a can-can echoed through the arena.

As the cheers of the people cheering for Gran continued, he laughed and scratched his head.

Next it was Shuina’s turn to enter.

[Shuina Hern…. He is a player who does not need long words. All of her current students and her teachers who taught her in this seat must have heard of her Shuina name. The head of the academy, the swordsman of light, Shuina Heruu!]

Shuina entered the arena with a blunt appearance as usual.

The two looked at each other with opposite looks.

“Who do you want to win?”

“Of course Shuinaji. She hates to believe that there are more geniuses than Shuina.”

“That’s right. Until she graduated, she thought it was natural for Shuina to win….”

With the start of the game, the buzzing students became quiet for an instant. They watched the two of them without even breathing.

Gran raised his staff.

Shuina, who was on the other side, pulled out her sword.

The two did not move hastily. It was the last game and the match to cover the best in the academy.

Everyone was watching the two of them. The president of Visilia also watched with bated breath, as did the vice president, Viteo, and Florina.

Shuina did not move first. She slowly moved to the right and watched Gran’s movements.

I couldn’t read his thoughts at all. Shuina originally looked at her opponent’s expression and read her mind. Fighting becomes easier if you can determine whether your opponent is excited or terrified.

It wasn’t a great skill. It was such a skill that you learned by yourself while fighting. Shuina never showed her expression. When the enemy noticed that I was having a hard time or was sick, the opponent’s attack became more intense, and it was no different from revealing a weakness.

Anyway, I couldn’t read Gran’s face right now. He had the same kind smile on his face as before the match.

No matter what happens, don’t be impatient. Even if the opponent turned their back. Especially if the opponent has a high level of skill.

“Heh heh, if you don’t come, I’ll go first.”

He’s moving.

Up close, the wand looked larger. It seemed much heavier than that. I let go of my cane and just lightly bumped into the ground, and the vibration was transmitted to my toes.

If it weren’t for the actual weight, I wouldn’t have been able to break the druid’s stone armor like a piece of wood.

With weight, he had to watch out for power rather than speed. This was what Shuina had hoped for.

She has fought many times with Lokhan, who is said to be the strongest in the academy. Of course, she seemed to have more power as a priest than Lokhan’s, but it didn’t mean much if her speed was high.

The priest grabbed the staff with one hand and quickly closed the distance.

It was faster than expected, but not to the point where I couldn’t react.

Booooong.

She dodged the attack by bending her back. Just two hours ago, she was in the same situation as when she was avoiding Lorkhan’s two-handed sword.

But her complexion darkened in an instant.

It was because a strong wind blew around the cane. It wasn’t clear that the priest caused the affair. With just one swing, the wind would blow enough to make the body flinch.

Shuina was embarrassed, but her expression did not change. She quickly pulled back behind her and got her into position.

What I realized from this attack is that I can’t block the priest’s attack. At the same time, the attack should not flow with the sword.

A slight twist will cause you to lose your balance and fall.

‘It’s okay. Doesn’t care.’

A golden aura emanated from Shuina’s body. Her aura shone brighter than ever.

The students who were watching were admiring with a sound.

Shuina took a deep breath against her bubbling body, cooling her spirit.

She, too, intended to finish her match quickly. She was wary of the priest’s attacks, which depended on how many times he wielded the baton.

She had to dodge his attacks somehow, but the more the attacks, the higher the chance of getting hit. It was because she had to avoid Gran’s attack with some force.

So, rather than leisurely gnaw at her opponent, she intended to finish them off quickly.

Quang!

Dust rose around Shuina as she kicked her foot. She turned to her right side.

Shuina, who was rapidly closing the distance, stopped abruptly. The reason she stopped was because the priest had already changed her stance to counter her attack.

‘You say you follow my speed with your body?’

When she raised her aura, few people ever caught up with her eyes.

But Gran was different. It wasn’t enough to follow her with her eyes, and she was already holding her posture.

“Heh heh…. You are quick-witted.”

‘What the hell is this….’

Quaaang!

“Sigh!”

While Shuina was immersed in her thoughts for a while, Gran approached her.

Booooong.

Kaaang!

Fortunately, I avoided the staff attack.

Puuu.

However, he could not avoid the kick that followed the cane attack.

“Keugh….”

Even though I couldn’t dodge his kicks, I managed to block them. The shock had already reached his intestines.

‘I can’t help it….’

She had never raised her aura to its maximum level in Visilia. However, in just two minutes, she maxed out her aura.

“Good. That’s power.”

Golden light emanated from Shuina’s pupils. Her hair rose to the sky like a breeze.

“… I’ll show you a different level of speed. It will be impossible to catch up with me.”

“Hmm…. Let’s try.”

Shuina wrapped her sword in an aura. Her sword also shone with a golden light.

Quaaang!

Shuina charged at Gran with her sword pointed. She focused on her own blow.

It felt as if time had slowed down. She swung her sword and successfully cut through Gran’s abdomen. Her clothes are cut and her skin cracked.

Then the bodies of the two crossed.

Shuina sighed heavily. Just when she thought she had won, her sword fell to the floor.

Chae Ae-Aeng!

Her hands are weak. Blood trickled down the back of her hand.

“Heh heh…. It was a good fight. There is something I regret.”

Shuina struggled to pick up her sword and turned her body around.

Certainly his clothes were cut. But the blood that should have flowed was nowhere to be seen.

‘… It’s a pity….’

My vision is blurring little by little.

The world shakes dizzily.

The color of the world has turned black.

“You didn’t have enough strength. It’s a good skill. If you come to Grand Gym….”

“Power….”

Shuina collapsed on the floor before Gran finished speaking.

The winner is Gran.

The stadium was quiet again this time.
