10 – Sudden Dalian (1)

For a week, days went by as usual.

Woke up even before dawn, Eugene went to school after meditating and swordsmanship training, and learned the minimum knowledge required for the exam.

I wasn’t interested in it, but I couldn’t help but learn it. In the next month and a half, the first grade comprehensive exam was held once per semester.

Even if she didn’t get good grades there, it didn’t mean she couldn’t move on to the second year, but all of those grades were taken into consideration when considering promotion to the third year.

So, during the morning class, Eugene, whose head was broken while learning basic classes that did not suit her temper, was able to learn and train comfortably by practicing swordsmanship, magic, and martial arts in the afternoon.

Then, after her school, she immediately had a four-hour physical training session, and from then on until she went to bed, she swung her sword.

After completing this crazy routine, she had to return to the dormitory holding her trembling limbs, but her body was rapidly changing.

All of those changes served as the basis for swordsmanship, and Eugene’s sword was getting stronger day by day.

‘It’s still a long way off.’

This kind of training took at least a month to get tangible results.

All Eugene had to do now was repeat this practice of death every day.

Then it was one day.

It was time for practice in the afternoon, so Eugene headed to the swordsmanship training center.

Today’s teacher in charge of swordsmanship practice was Fritz, the homeroom teacher of Tunghua Class.

‘Hey Eugene! The class attitude was very good today. I’ll keep an eye on you!’

It was the teacher who praised Eugene’s class attitude in the previous class.

Obermann Nam As an aristocrat of the writer, he was an unfortunate teacher who had a bad reputation among female students even though he did nothing.

He taught high-level swordsmanship and was respected by teachers and students who had a passion for swords.

He was in charge of guiding the swordsmanship class of the Cheonghwa class today, and he was looking at the swords of the students who were practicing repetitively with warm eyes.

“Okay, that’s it. Yuria! Fix your lower body firmly and keep your posture undisturbed! In that state, a sword strike is fired with the power raised from the waist! Very well done!”

“Could you please move away from me, sir!”

“Mi, I’m sorry. Stop losing one eye to the sword.”

Bewildered by the frightened female student, Fritz wiped the sweat from his forehead.

‘It’s really not easy for female students these days.’

I didn’t expect you to hate me so much when I approached you a little to take a closer look.

‘A few years ago, this never happened…… The changing times are frightening.’

Fritz turned her head and looked elsewhere.

Thousands of students were repeating the stab he instructed.

‘There are many talented people in Cheonghwa Class.’

From noble mtl dot com

If there are talented people who shine exceptionally bright among those students, there are definitely three.

Silyn, Tina, Eugene

They stand in order and train their swords.

Needless to say Silin, who had a reputation for being a sword genius since the beginning of her schooling.

It was Tina and Eugene that particularly caught Fritz’s eyes.

‘I heard that you want to focus on magic, but…… He also has considerable swordsmanship skills.’

Tina flutters her blonde hair and repeats stabbing.

‘What would she say?’

He had a very ideal body.

Ordinary men would say it was just an attractive woman’s body, but in Fritz’s eyes it was different.

Her excellent lower body, which she was born with, kept her sword movement straight without any strength training on her part.

‘A talent that will not be lacking at all even if you set your heart on the sword!’

His hot eyes stared straight at Tina’s lower body.

“That teacher again… ….”

“As expected…… Is that it?”

It was purely a look from the realm of the sword, but the female students’ distrust deepened.

Fritz, who couldn’t hear it, just looked at Eugene next to Tina.

His eyes sank seriously.

‘That child is different.’

Fritz listened to Abel talk before entering today’s blue-and-white swordsmanship practice.

‘Teacher. Are you going to Cheonghwa class swordsmanship class today? I have something to tell you.’

‘What’s the matter?’

‘A student is going to stand out a lot today, and he might go blind.’

‘Heh heh. How many years have I been teaching, would you be surprised to see a first-year student?’

‘You are so confident. Anyway, a student will catch my eye today, and I can’t get excited and offer to tutor her.’

‘That’s not going to happen, but what’s the reason why it shouldn’t?’

‘That student likes to practice alone. I’ve already been blacked out once.’

‘Hey. That’s right. It doesn’t really touch me, but I’ll keep it in her head.’

She said that she had a student who would surprise him.

Fritz didn’t believe that.

Until I saw Eugene swinging his sword.

‘How surprised I was.’

What makes your eyeballs go crazy?

It’s on the verge of popping out.

I don’t understand where such misunderstandings came from. How could he have been hiding for over half a year?

If he had shown that talent right away, Fritz would have done everything he could to keep him from letting go of his sword.

‘I keep getting goosebumps.’

Even though it was simply a repeated stab, the chicken meat came up with an unknown subtlety.

My strange desire as a swordsman was stimulated.

‘As a teacher responsible for following the Royal School curriculum faithfully, I shouldn’t have this desire… ….’

I can’t wait to see how that sword will look in a real fight.

I was so curious that I couldn’t stand it.

‘Curriculum or solving personal questions as a teacher… ….’

Fritz closed his eyes and pondered.

I bowed my head in thought, and the sunlight reflected off his shiny hair blinded some of the students.

At the end of those small sacrifices, a conclusion was drawn.

‘It’ll be okay for once!’

He was defeated by desire.

“Listen up, all students! From now on, we will conduct an impromptu sparring!”

“Yes? Dalian?”

“Suddenly what!”

“Swordsmanship is a study based on actual combat! There is no training method more helpful than actual combat! If it’s a sparring that suddenly strikes like this, the training effect is doubled!”

What nonsense!

There was a backlash from the students around him, but Fritz didn’t blink an eye.

“All the students gather in groups of three and conduct sparring, just as they are currently training! Two of the three fight, and the other stops the fight before it overheats! In this way, the sparring proceeds until all personnel have completed two sparrings each!”

“Suddenly Dalian…….”

“Still, I think it might be better than repetitive training… ….”

Students were generally hesitant, but some responded favorably.

The small atmosphere they created made them form groups of three.

At some point, most of the groups were created.

Fritz didn’t look back and headed to the place where Silin, Tina, and Eugene were. According to rank, the three formed a group.

‘I’ll have to drop one member from this group.’

In his view, there was an overwhelming difference in ability between the top performers in this group and the other students.

It didn’t come from swordsmanship.

‘One comes from the best swordsmanship duke family on the continent, and one comes from a fallen baron family.’

The difference in mana stemming from the overwhelming background difference was the cause.

Silin was born into a wealthy duke’s family, took arcane elixirs that help with magical powers from a young age, received help from her family, and had the highest magical power among her peers, but Eugene couldn’t do that.

‘If there is too much difference, there would be no point in watching sparring.’

A sparring between Tina, who has high magical power but has no interest in swordsmanship, and Eugene, who has low magical power but has an unusual talent, would have some meaning.

Fritz closed his thoughts and opened his mouth.

“Shield will be left out of this group.”

“Yes? Why?”

Tina gave a questioning look.

“Isn’t Shilin the best first grader? A level difference that is too big may hurt someone during sparring. It really doesn’t make any sense to ask her to look at it, so she has no choice but to leave it out.”

“Um…… Okay.”

Tina, who managed to understand, nodded her head.

“Then proceed with the sparring now.”

“Yes.”

Tina turned her gaze to Eugene.

I had doubts about the sudden sparring, but I had no choice but to do it.

“…… Then, shall we?”

“Yes.”

She opened her mouth cautiously. This was the first conversation after drawing the line with Eugene.

I wanted to say a few times about his sudden change, but I couldn’t.

‘Now that they’ve been mixed up anyway.’

Will it be okay if I talk to you a few times next time?

Tina thought about that and took her middle stance (the basic swordsman’s posture).

“Are you ready?”

“All right.”

Contrary to the words that he was ready, Eugene didn’t even take the basic swordsman’s stance.

“You didn’t even get your posture right?”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“What?”

Tina’s eyebrows narrowed.

You’re sparring, but you don’t even have a good posture?

This was an attitude of ignoring the opponent.

‘Are you ignoring me?’

Eugene’s swordsmanship skills she remembers weren’t that high.

I couldn’t go higher because I was busy following myself around every day.

‘It’s true that I’ve come to my senses recently.’

A week was too short a time to dramatically improve her swordsmanship.

‘I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking.’

There was no need to show mercy to swordsmen who didn’t even stand up properly.

“Go!”

“Yes.”

Tina kicked the ground. Her natural lower body was loaded with her magical energy, generating considerable momentum.

‘As expected!’

Fritz admired that she was not mistaken in her eyes.

Tina arrived in front of Eugene and swung her wooden sword.

‘It’s over!’

The speed of the sword was too fast for Eugene, who did not take any stance, to dodge.

It was a sword that was wielded with strong magical power to inflict a blow from the beginning.

The wooden sword containing her strong magical power flew towards the nape of Eugene’s neck.

At that moment, Eugene raised her wooden sword.

Slow, but not enough speed to block Tina’s wooden sword. His sword collided with Tina’s.

No, I thought I bumped into it.

‘What?’

Yujin’s sword swept away like a snake. I hope you stay in a daze in that subtle movement for a while.

‘Oops!’

Tina, intuitively aware that her own power would be being used if she continued, grabbed her sword again and swung it with her powerful magic power.

‘Huh?’

Then, Eugene’s sword suddenly jumped upward. The direction of the force reversed in the motion.

“Ugh?”

Tina’s wooden sword fell from her hand and rolled across the floor.

“Is that okay?”

“This, what the heck… ….”

Tina couldn’t contain her embarrassment as she didn’t understand what was happening to her.

“Sir, can I spam one more time!”

Fritz did not answer.

“Teacher? Why are you opening her eyes so wide?”

“…… Sorry! Put my mind elsewhere.”

“Anyway, can we do one more sparring!”

“It doesn’t matter if the opponent is weak!”

“Okay.”

Tina looked at Eugene, trying hard to hide her embarrassment.

“Dalian…… Can I apply for one more time?”

It was a cautious question, as she remembered what had drawn the line in the past.

He said he didn’t do anything wrong, but it was only natural if he was still in a bad mood.

“If you want to do it, do it.”

However, Eugene had a calm face as if he didn’t care.

“That’s right… ….”

Tina quickly picked up her wooden sword that had fallen to the ground and got into a stance.

“Going?”

“Come in.”

She didn’t even have to ask if she wasn’t holding her pose anymore.

Although she had no intention of fighting the sword, it was more important for Tina, who had never thought of herself as low-level, to find out the cause of her just defeat.

“Huap!”

Tina kicked her to the ground and was shot at Eugene.

Swords collided with swords, and several sums came and went.

Soon Tina’s wooden sword flew into the air.

“Why!”

“Is that enough?”

“Oh, no, just one last time!”

Eugene sighed and nodded his head.

It made my teeth clench.

But losers don’t talk.

Tina bit her lip and raised her wooden sword, and she was defeated three more times.

“Why… ….”

It took less than five minutes for her to defeat five times, only with the difference in how many points came and went.

“I don’t think the sword suits me… ….”

Tina, sitting down, had no choice but to conclude.

The current defeat was due to Eugene’s talent on a different level, but her eyes couldn’t recognize it.

‘It’s really beyond my imagination.’

Fritz, who was watching all the couples, hardened his face at the bizarre talent Eugene showed.

She must have far less magical energy than Tina, but she won five victories without a single crisis.

If Yu-jin was the same age as herself, she might have been unable to tolerate her feelings and asked her to fight.

‘I want to bump into them.’

Silin, who was next to him, seemed to have already entered that state.

“Teacher. May I try sparring too?”

Silin revealed a small fire that bloomed in her heart.
