9 – Akina Crowfly (2)

“No, it’s perfect.”

The embarrassed supervisor’s voice hit my ears.

Following the physical fitness test, the reaction speed test also received a perfect score, and I passed all the evaluation items of the second practical skill perfectly.

Hearing the results made me smile.

‘It’s easier than I thought.’

To be honest, I didn’t show it to Ray, but I was a little worried when he said he was going to take the practical test.

A practical test that prioritizes the applicant’s ‘physical abilities’ such as strength, stamina, and reaction speed.

This is because these evaluation items seemed to work against me now.

‘I can’t believe I’ll return to the way it was before… .’

My return was unusual.

Generally, if you go to a certain world and come back, it’s normal to have everything you went through and experienced there, but… I’ve lost many of them.

I came back with all the swordsmanship theories, understanding, and swordsmanship in my head still intact, but my thoroughly trained body and face had changed from before I returned 10 years ago.

In other words, I, who was in my 30s, returned to Edgar in my 20s.

That’s why Reina’s father didn’t notice any signs of abnormality in me when I came back.

‘This doesn’t look like a return, it looks like a return.’

In fact, only memories remained.

So, at first, I was confused whether everything I experienced was a dream, not reality.

Anyway, thanks to this unusual phenomenon, his face became younger than he was in his early 20s, but his physical condition also returned to its worst state at the time.

Even if there is no problem demonstrating swordsmanship, it becomes a problem in these practical tests that require various physical abilities.

Maybe you could be eliminated for not meeting the standards.

It wasn’t for nothing that I was concerned about this.

‘I’m so glad I have fate.’

and.

It was fate that helped me through my worst physical condition.

To be precise, it was an ‘inevitability’ that belonged to the second crossroads, <Swordmaster of the Battlefield>.

From noble mtl dot com

「The shadow of the approaching inevitable!」

「You are a hero who possesses the inevitability of <indomitable body>. This inevitability belongs to <Swordsman>’s second fork in fate, <Sword Demon of the Battlefield>.”

「<Indomitable Body> grants enhanced physical conditions. This body provides the optimal physical condition anytime, anywhere, and can move more vigorously than usual without getting tired in situations that are pushed to the limit.”

<Indomitable Body> is a special ability that grants enhanced physical conditions and assists the body not to get tired easily in special situations such as ‘battlefield’.

The moment I held the Gladius in my family’s house a week ago-

One of the inevitability acquired by the flowering of all five branching roads.

At first, I didn’t really understand the extent of ‘granting enhanced physical conditions’, but when I actually moved my body and tested my physical abilities, I was able to understand that the level was not low at all.

At least enough to beat all the hero cadets in the swordsmanship department.

There will be no one among the instructor aspirants who applied this time.

It would take some time to fully recover to the condition I had before returning, but I was in the minimum condition to be able to use my main sword technique, <Balut Sword Technique>.

Anyway, the result is right now-.

It was a perfect score from the first to the second practical exams.

“The 3rd practical exam will soon be held at the swordsmanship department’s indoor training hall! Applicants must enter the training hall with their own sword or a rental sword provided by the department.”

And the third performance immediately follows.

Now it was time for the Tristan law book that Ray had hastily obtained to shine.

“Applicants numbered 111 to 120, please enter testing room 1 now.”

The third practical exam is held simultaneously in several test centers.

Thanks to that, my turn came quickly even though I was quite late in the race.

I enter the room with fellow applicants who clearly look nervous.

A vague fear of an unfamiliar environment.

Looking at the faces of the fledglings, I felt a strange feeling.

‘… It’s fun.’

At first, the Instructor Examination started at the father’s suggestion that he just take the exam.

I accepted the proposal because I had to adapt to the original world again, and I was sick of the battlefield.

However, as the test progressed, I felt that the test was fun for myself.

– Start over from scratch.

That small echo knocked on me from somewhere.

It has already been 10 years since we went through a war in a strange land 10 years ago.

Creating something like this from scratch was an experience I haven’t had in a very long time.

Just like the thrill when you first hold the sword.

Just like that trembling when you win the first battle.

For some reason, an overwhelming feeling settled in a corner of my heart.

“Welcome to the applicants for the Tristan Military Academy Instructor Examination. We are current instructors who are currently active as guidance instructors at Tristan’s Swordsmanship Faculty. At the same time, they are also supervisors who will evaluate your 3rd practical skills.”

Upon entering the room, an instructor with a long beard opened his mouth.

An intense energy emanating from his body even when he is just standing still.

Seeing that, I could immediately recognize that the instructor was a strong person.

“There is one thing I haven’t told you. That is, at the same time as the 3rd practical test, there is an interview with our practitioners who are current instructors. The interview will be conducted randomly after the 3rd practical evaluation, so please be aware of this and engage in practical training.”

Suddenly, an interview evaluation is added.

It was visible that the applicants were agitated, but the supervisors did not give them much time.

The evaluation is thorough, but the process itself is a quick one for Tristan’s instructor test.

“Then, please begin.”

After some preparation time, the evaluation follows immediately.

“bout! bout!”

“Haaa… !!”

The applicants, who had been quietly watching, continued their movements with a spirited spirit.

In any exam, a confident appearance is always an extra point.

They were applicants who were embarrassed by an unfamiliar situation, but did not forget the proposition.

I glanced at them, then raised my sword in the same way.

Third Practical Assessment.

Tristan Sword Demonstration.

It was time to announce the beginning.

‘start-.’

Tristan sword method.

The herbivores in it are already entered into my head.

From the sword in his hand, he slowly spreads out 9 herbivores.

Horizontal cutting, vertical cutting, stabbing, rotational cutting… .

It is a sword technique with simple techniques, but requires concentration to perfect it.

‘Neither fast nor slow.’

Constant speed and precise motion.

neither too much nor too little.

It contains only the key elements and captures the action.

Through the ‘understanding’ of the theory, the content that the sword method wanted to convey is melted into the sword.

Tristan sword method.

It is the most basic sword method of the kingdom, and a sword method containing only the essence that can be used as a sword.

Inside the sword I spread –

All of the descriptions were included.

‘-end.’

When I counted the beginning and the end in my heart like that.

When all 9 herbivores in the sword method were unfolded.

lower the sword

Soon, he slowly catches his breath and raises his head.

The surrounding applicants were already waiting for evaluation with their swords hanging down.

It’s because I demonstrated a little later than the other applicants.

and.

“… … .”

“… … .”

A total of 9 supervisors, seated in front of us.

For some reason, they were silent and staring straight ahead.

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but I also felt like all their eyes were on me.

“Thank you all for your hard work. Then, from now on, the practical interview… ”

The moment the beard instructor from earlier, who seemed to be the moderator, was about to speak.

“Applicant number 118.”

suddenly.

A female instructor at the edge spoke up.

An instructor with red hair and a beautiful appearance.

Like the emcee, Instructor Beard, he is a powerful person with strong energy.

As soon as I saw her, I admired her a little.

‘It’s strong.’

sure is strong

As much as the beard instructor, or more.

Except for me, I didn’t even know that he was the strongest player with the most outstanding skills in this space.

Is that why?

Everyone’s eyes were focused on her charismatic words.

Although she apparently cut off the moderator’s words and entered, the supervisors were quietly watching her.

And, 118 was my application number.

“That swordsmanship, where did you learn it?”

A female instructor looking directly at me and asking.

Since the position she was in coincided with mine, I accidentally met her eyes directly.

‘… That’s a good look.’

And I like those eyes.

Cold as ice, sharp eyes as if devouring the opponent.

However, there is an intense desire for the sword in it.

Really innocent, passionate eyes that seemed to be curious about my swordsmanship.

As a position to study swords together, it was definitely a pleasant thing to face these eyes.

‘… But why is it so familiar?’

I was about to answer lightly, but I suddenly tilted my head.

Beautiful appearance with red hair.

And a swordsmanship instructor who is skilled enough to serve as supervisor.

These familiar modifiers and that familiar face.

I’m sure you’re among the people I’ve been studying… .
