16. Dalian

A dark night with yellow dots on black paper.

It was late at night when no one was left in the arena.

“Heo-eok, hee-eok…”

The sweat that wets my cheeks falls like rain.

Galihad, who was left alone in the arena, was wielding a sword.

The swordsmanship he wields is Yu-geom (柔劍)

It means a sword that gently sheds the opponent’s attack and attacks the gap.

The Milliam family, which focuses on swordsmanship, was actually a swordsman who had no choice but to give up and choose other swordsmanship because of their innate strength.

The Miriam family has become a famous family especially for dealing with the sword.

Galihad also followed the will of his ancestors and walked the path of the sword.

But that wasn’t a very good option.

“Why… Why!”

He swung his arm vigorously.

In response to his emotions, the sword slashed the air with the sound of a strong wind.

The power contained in the sword was too great for a smooth attack.

Galihad noticed that too, but he swung his sword again, drowning in emotion.

Rage.

Despair.

Feeling helpless.

Pain.

All of that had melted into the sword and was making a terrible cut.

“Why can’t I… Wield it like that son of a b*tch?”

I blamed myself.

Just as not everyone is gifted with the same talent to fly, Galihad was a clumsy clumsy no matter how many times he was taught his erratic body movements.

With such a humble talent, one might give up easily, but Galihad was a man with an iron will.

With the idea that he would make up for his lack of talent with hard work, he gave up even sleeping time and had time to wield his sword one more time.

The results paid off.

It was the pride of the family to openly step into the Orion Academy, which is said to be open only to geniuses.

But Orion Academy was not such a warm place.

Rather, I faced the cold wall of reality.

Most of the students said they had wielded a sword like him, and a good number stood shoulder to shoulder with master swordsmen saying that the sky exists above the sky.

Talent than black hard work.

I felt it keenly.

‘…Rather, as time passes, I feel a high and solid wall of talent.’

I remembered her swordsmanship that El wielded a few days ago.

At first, I didn’t think it was anything special, but when I thought about how I felt when I swung a sword and my whole body went cold, I quickly realized that it wasn’t normal at all.

I didn’t dare to get up to live up to the name Dungeom.

A heaviness oppresses my body.

If I made a hasty move, that heavy-looking sword would bite my neck like a snake.

I tried to reproduce what I saw, but I couldn’t.

Buwoong –

Light sound rather than heavy. It was difficult to put strength into the sword because it was handled with a sword.

“f*ck…”

He let out a harsh curse and dropped his sword.

A piece of iron roared against the gray floor.

When I wash my face with both hands, the sweat drenches my hands.

It was very shabby as if this was his reality.

‘There must be something in that bastard.’

Thoughts gradually change to negative.

When she first met El, she was infinitely weak, and she was exhausted after swinging her sword a few times.

The fair hands, free of a single callus, were not black, and looked like they were not stained with a single drop of water.

A guy like that handles blunt swords?

Is that enough to receive support from Professor Dyurahan?

“Nonsense!”

He hit the floor of the arena with his fist.

The reason why El can have such talent.

The reason why she can wield a sword better than herself even though she can’t even make an effort.

An electric current flashed through her head.

“…Did you make a pact with the devil?”

A demon that can be contracted in exchange for a soul.

They are even more bizarre and outrageous than monsters and demons, sometimes giving them powers that humans can’t understand.

In fact, 500 years ago, there was an incident in which the country was turned upside down when it was discovered that the commander of the imperial knights had made a deal with the devil.

The leader of the knights was also an ordinary peasant at first, and possessed insignificant strength, but it is said that he gained tremendous strength in an instant.

“Khehehehe…”

Laughter leaks out. I finally realized.

El made a contract with the devil.

Galihad’s lacking brain could only understand that.

***

Time returns to reality.

“What do you mean, Galihad?”

“Stop pretending! Shut up, cowardly demon contractor!”

Bloodshot eyes and saliva dripping every time you open your mouth.

I could never call myself sane.

‘You’re already pretty crazy.’

Gallihad Millium is a character that was set up that way in the first place.

Although he is a natural talent, he is envious of his talent and harbors an inferiority complex.

The inferiority complex pierces the sky for those with crazy talent like Theo Artos or Leatis Penrose.

‘But I’m more talented than them. Is that why Galihad’s time is getting faster?’

Hmm… It’s not really my fault, but it makes me feel pretty bad.

“A demon contractor. Are you talking about looking at El?”

“I guess so…”

Students gathered around are beginning to be vigilant one by one.

It was the same here that a person with a loud voice steals the ears of the audience.

Demon contractors are just as dangerous.

As a servant of the devil, he takes on the role of a guide in sacrificing humans.

Of course, we have no choice but to be vigilant.

“Hey … El is a demon contractor. What is she talking about! El is more sincere and kind than anyone else!”

Ladia, who had been listening quietly from the sidelines, burst into anger.

She knew better than anyone else that the El she had seen was absolutely not the kind of person she was.

“Tsk. It’s not a place for crappy magic or kindling that shoots from behind. Don’t try to intervene and get out!”

“What, what?! Light a fire?! Can you tell me the real taste of fire?”

Roaring!

I lit a fire while holding the ten thousand year scare pendant. Because of its size, it quickly caught my attention.

Ladia tried to protect El, but it was counterproductive.

‘I’m going to gather even the magic students.’

I moved before things got bigger.

“Galihad. Do you see me as a demon contractor?”

“Of course! Confess that sin right away and face the righteous judgment…!”

“If I had been a demon contractor, would there have been something wrong with you. And even cowardly by getting together.”

A wave is created when a stone is thrown into a calm lake.

“That’s right?”

“Ah, now that I think about it, I heard something. Galihad is relentlessly harassing someone…”

From noble mtl dot com

No matter how strong the academy is, it is not free even to violence.

The most important thing is the position of the person who suffered violence and the person who wielded it.

‘L was a bug with no talent or physicality. So she gave up on the professor and threw it away.’

The only person who took care of me was Luna Elliot. She is a health teacher.

But the position of Gallihad Milium took considerable effort on the nobility. He is a bird that can fly, if only a little bit of talent is supported.

‘It becomes a structure that can only be ignored while knowing. And now it has changed to the exact opposite.’

With the support of Professor Durahan and Professor Chico at the same time, my position has changed considerably.

Having a strong stomach!

Now, rather, it doesn’t matter if I beat Galihad.

It’s rather a troublesome position, so you might be happy if I sort it out.

…I decided to think so.

“That, that’s…”

“Let’s do this. By sparring neatly. Depending on the result, we decide whose argument is more correct.”

“……”

“Why. Wasn’t that what you wanted?”

It was a slight provocation, but it worked great.

Galihad gnashed his teeth and drew his sword.

“Yes! With this sword, I will defeat the demonic contractor! Immaculate glory will follow the family of Milliam!”

Looking at what you say, you don’t envy a warrior.

In an instant, the field of Dalian was completed.

The surrounding students turned into spectators.

“I’ll judge you!”

Theo smiled carelessly and wiggled her body.

In fact, I was very grateful to be able to see El’s dazzling swordsmanship again, regardless of whether he was a demon contractor or not.

When everyone couldn’t let go of the tension, Theo leisurely took out his handkerchief from inside the foam.

“When this handkerchief falls to the ground, it starts. Now, get ready…”

A flying handkerchief.

It flutters and falls slowly.

Students who had been making a lot of noise started to stick to their silence.

Ladia closed her eyes and cheered for L.

Theo began to stare at Elle, her eyes twinkling as if she were looking at her master.

…Leatis still suffered from the tension of being surrounded by crowds and endured nausea.

Just before the handkerchief touches the ground.

Tatak!

“I won’t judge you!!”

Galihad bounced like an arrow through his body.

A sword loaded with strength that doesn’t match a soft sword.

Cut down from top to bottom.

‘That bastard’s body is weak! I’ll just have to use that to push them!’

I thought so.

Until the point where El and the sword collided.

Kang!

A clear sound echoed as swords collided with each other.

“?!”

Galihad frowned and struggled.

But the sword never went in.

Her physical strength is only low, but her strength and agility are much higher than other students.

Also, there was no way he could be pushed back by force against Galihad, who was weak and never lost.

‘Doesn’t he intend to show the sword?’

Participating in sparring involved thoroughly trampling on him, but there were also things I wanted to see Yu-geom.

What should I do to see her skillful skills?

She shook her head and let out a light move.

“Ugh?!”

The sword was violently flicked, making a loud metal sound.

Galihad backed away while hurrahing.

‘Gap.’

Quickly dig inside. I can see the embarrassment of Galihad who couldn’t bear to respond.

Once, one.

“Creepy!”

I stuck a sack, not a blade, into my stomach. In fact, if it was a war, it would be the same as killing him once.

Galihad gasping for breath.

It was so humiliating that I couldn’t even raise my head. The thought of being careless won’t leave my head.

“…What is this. Was Galihad really that weak?”

“I saw how great it was because I just made a loud noise, but it’s nothing special.”

Students’ opinions are gradually leaning toward L.

As history is written by the victors, it does not take the side of the weak.

‘It’s not the time to press down with force…!’

Gallihad finally noticed the strength of El and took a deep breath.

He leaned forward, relaxing his grip on the sword.

The eye keeps an eye on exactly where to attack and prepares for it.

‘Oh. You mean that way?’

Learn the basic posture. He saw it with his own eyes and learned to use it.

Galihad was a living textbook.

This time I moved slowly first.

Like a snake with its tail held up high and alert, Galihad was still waiting for an opportunity.

I could see that if I touched one, I would immediately counterattack.

‘Let’s go strong as part of it.’

Smash the sword vertically in the same way.

Kakacak!

“…?!”

The results were surprising.

I didn’t feel like I hit the sword. The sword cut diagonally and naturally leaked a loophole.

It feels like being possessed by a woman.

I knew long ago that the sword would spill, so I didn’t expose any gaps.

After recovering quickly, take up your stance and swing.

“Yes, there’s no way this idiot could use such swordsmanship!”

Galihad, who has grown in spirit, slowly recovers his pride.

As if testing Galihad, he attacked the same several times.

Strong. Strong again.

I just pressed hard as if testing to see who would fall from exhaustion first.

‘…Strange. Considering El’s swordsmanship, Galihad’s sword was enough to destroy. Why do you insist on using a steel sword?’

Leatis was the first to notice the change.

She was the only one who knew El’s true face. She didn’t think El was stupid.

Before the storm, she had a hunch that El and she were about to have an accident, just as animals and birds predict omens.

Kang!!

“Like this.”

L said as if he had awakened.

Leatis’ idea was correct.

As if they had placed a mirror, El and Galihad had the same posture.
