18 – 18. Remodeling

With the excuse that the survey standards were not met, additional sparring was held.

It was a consideration to understand Scarlett’s movements, but Adela’s eyes could not even follow her, so she did not see much improvement.

She didn’t give up on her desperation.

Adela was also seen doing her best.

In fact, it is not uncommon for geniuses to see through their opponents and win just by competing with them a few times.

But that is only possible if you have enough talent to put down your opponent.

A young lady who can handle cloth, but has always lived as a merchant,

When I became a fighter, every day was a repetition of battle and survival until a month ago.

Since the two had the same potential, it was natural for the latter to win.

“Okay, the measurement is finished.”

After about 5 minutes, I decided to end the meeting.

Scarlett stopped her fist just before it hit Adela,

Thanks to this, Adela was able to finish her sparring with a record of 5 wins and 5 losses.

Scarlett clapped and loosened her hands, and Adella just stood still.

Scarlett turned her back and headed towards her exit.

And, the moment I grab that door handle.

Adela said.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“…”

Even though she had been shaken to the point where she couldn’t be more pitiful just a moment ago, she smiled brightly at the other person and lowered her head.

Scarlett looked at Adela expressionlessly,

“You too.”

I received a greeting.

Tak-

With the sound of the door closing, only me and the loser remained in the sparring hall.

Adela turned her back on me and was staring at the canvas in her hand.

If you are an ordinary person, this is a situation that is enough to engulf you in self-loathing.

He lost the fight he had no doubt he would win, and even got stuck after five or six repetitions.

It wouldn’t be surprising if I ran out of the sparring hall right away.

But, she was different.

“Whoa.”

After letting out her short sigh, Adela looks back.

“Instructor Ivan.”

“Yes.”

“How do you plan to make me the chief?”

“…”

Before coming to the sparring hall, she said this in the morning.

How can I be so sure that I will lose?

And now Adela, standing in front of me, was saying this.

How are you going to make me a senior?

At first glance, it may seem like self-torture based on low self-esteem, but it is not.

I am literally asking. What she meant was that if he asked her to make a deal in exchange for her senior position, she should at least provide some direction.

One sigh. With that alone, she completely emptied her inner anguish, and she accepted her situation as is.

There were literally no natural merchants.

I answered.

“Do you remember what I said during my lecture?”

“…You said that the most important thing about a weapon is how to use it.”

“That’s right. However, you are writing it very wrong.”

With that said, I took out a Class A Mana doll from the warehouse.

I set the goal and set it in motion.

“Instructor, that’s Grade A….”

“You are the master of the Heavenly Flower Siruelle. It means that you are the only one in this world who can fully unleash the power of that highest-ranking relic. So, what did you do with that good weapon?”

Mana bullets fired towards me from the arm of an A-class mana doll.

I caught the mana bullet with my right hand and fired it at the doll.

Quang!

Just like that, the doll’s head exploded.

This is the crux of what I wanted to say, and why she couldn’t beat her Scarlett.

“What Ms. Adela showed in sparring a little while ago, and what I am showing now. “What on earth is the difference between these?”

Cheonhwa is absolutely not a weapon at the level of a high-output mana bullet launcher.

If you are chopping onions with a precious sword, people watching will naturally feel upset.

As the number one speedrun gamer, I had the confidence to stab a newbie in the back the moment I saw him using the character Adella in this way.

The other person is the character himself, and he will be a business partner in the future, so he is speaking kindly.

I continued speaking.

“The Cheonhwa is a weapon whose defensive capabilities are as outstanding as its firepower.”

“Defense…. “Ability?”

“It won’t make any sense. Until now, you’ve probably only thought about how much faster and stronger you could fire. And this is the result. “To reverse that within 15 days, the way Cheonhwa is used must also be fundamentally changed.”

I roughly threw the remains of the Class A doll, which had become scrap metal, into the trash can.

She gave her her final piece of advice as her instructor.

“What you need now is not firepower to more gracefully overwhelm an opponent whose level is already greatly different. “It is flexibility that leaves some possibility in a fight that can never be won.”

I spoke to her, leaving her exit open.

“That’s it.”

“…”

In the end, the choice was up to Adela.

A comment I can make as an instructor who has received the assignment. I fulfilled my duty up to that point.

Even though she also confirmed that she was lacking, she clung to me unconditionally and had no obligation to accept her contract.

But, she still doesn’t go out.

“I really don’t know what’s going on in the world.”

She eventually took out two pieces of paper from her arms.

“I never thought the day would come when I would make a deal with an instructor.”

The work that followed went smoothly as it was Adela’s specialty.

Her instructor, thanks to her noble status, had never personally written her contract, so she wrote both of them.

Her instructor trained her and made her the top student in her midterm evaluation.

She uses her personal abilities to provide the instructor with the items he wants.

It was a transaction that cannot be called honorable even with empty words,

Now she was bound to Ivan by a contract rather than a priestly relationship.

She does not regret her choice.

Scarlett, to be honest, she was such a strong opponent that it still makes me feel sick.

It was impossible for her to devise it on her own and overcome it within her fortnight.

Let alone the fact that Ivan knows Cheonhwa better than she herself,

Even if I were to rely on another instructor, I didn’t think he would spend more time than that with a clear purpose.

It was a reasonable decision.

However, there are two things that bother me.

First, the item requested in return was Damien’s tears.

It wasn’t something that couldn’t be obtained, but the problem was that it was poison.

A situation where the author, an academy instructor, is trying to acquire deadly poison through a backroom deal with a student.

No matter where I look, I can only imagine something eerie.

But, in the end, it was she who handed it over to her in the end.

When she proved he wasn’t planning on poisoning anyone, she just had to hand it over.

And the second thing is what he asked for right before leaving the sparring hall.

At first, I thought he wanted to shake hands when he held out his hand.

However, when Ivan tries to take her outstretched hand, he makes an expression so absurd that it makes her feel embarrassed.

‘No, I’m not saying we should unite. ‘We’re not that kind of relationship.’

‘…Then why did you hold out your hand?’

‘Please give me one of those petals. ‘Your incompetence has been proven, so now I have to prove my ability too, so I can at least pretend to save tears.’

With that, he took one of her flower petals from her.

With the words to come back here after the academy class.

“What on earth are you going to do with that?” .”

No, I had no idea when I first took the item, which made it impossible to do anything with it.

Cheonhwa is a sacred object as noble as its value, and no one but her, her owner, can even start it.

Just like that, the academy ended without me even knowing how time passed due to all these worries.

Now, I am heading towards the sparring grounds at a pace as fast as my impatience.

The entrance to Dalianjang has already arrived. When I opened the door, I saw several students.

Scarlet was among the dogs, and she was smashing a Mana doll almost to pieces with an indifferent expression.

‘Okay, let’s not look back on what we have already decided.’

Adella puts aside all her worries and heads to the instructor’s sparring room where he is.

The secret special training will begin today, so I braced myself and knocked.

Knock knock-

However, the door does not open and the answer does not return.

After knocking repeatedly a couple of times, she wasted no time and grabbed the handle of her door and pulled it.

A door that opens as it is.

Adela was about to say something to the instructor inside….

“Ah.”

What came out of her mouth was an exclamation that she didn’t even notice.

Colorful light gently surrounds the entire sparring hall.

The light source was coming from magic circles that could be said to be filling this room.

The magic circles were each different in size and shape.

I could see that everything was intertwined, and instructor Ivan was standing in the center of it all.

Like a conductor, he turns, aligns, and unravels the magic circles tangled with mana circuits.

It seemed like he noticed her pretense of popularity only after she lost her mind.

From noble mtl dot com

“Oh, since when have you been here? “It would have been nice to have at least knocked.”

She got tired of knocking and came in, but now was not the time to shoot.

“Instructor. “What is all this?”

“I took out the mana circuit of the petal. Tsk, I tried to kill it before the academy ended, but it was the highest-ranking relic after all.”

“That means….”

Her arms constantly moving while talking to her.

No way, it’s been like this for five hours.

She was already shocked enough, but he spoke as if he had no intention of letting go of her hand.

“Cheonhwa’s identity is freedom. Depending on how you use it, its uses are endless, and of course you can deploy a defensive shield.”

“…”

“Miss Adela’s strength comes from her magical power. So, what would happen if we could also invest that magic power into defense?”

It was the first time I had ever heard that a shield could be deployed, but I seemed to know what he meant.

Having a means to block Scarlett’s blow means that, in theory, close combat becomes possible.

In that case, the person with more attack methods will have the advantage.

However, it was an ideal theory.

And the instructor already knew that part.

“You don’t have to look that burdensome. Would it be possible to tell them to deploy a shield right away? “I probably wouldn’t be able to guarantee even if I stayed up all night.”

“Then how-“

“If you can’t change people, you have to change weapons.”

Only then did she notice.

What he did…. No, what you are trying to do.

“Instructor Ivan, it can’t be right now…” .”

It was an absurd thing, and it was something that was happening right now in front of her eyes.

“Are you remodeling Cheonhwa?”
