18 – Time flows like water (3)

Time flows like water.

Everyone at the Royal School felt that obvious fact.

“Isn’t it already less than a week until the comprehensive exam?”

“I still have a long way to study!”

Today is Friday, two weeks ago.

It was an evening long after the school day was over.

In the next six days, on the next Thursday, the two-day comprehensive exam began.

The comprehensive exam was a test that evaluated the entire second semester of the first year, and it also played a large part in evaluating whether or not to be promoted to the third year later. Its importance was indescribable.

“Tell me the scope of the history test!”

“From the founding of the Lucia Continent…… How far was it?”

“Don’t you know?”

The Royal School students did not go to the dormitory even after school was over, but gathered in the library and gnawed their teeth and put knowledge into their heads. At least, the subjects that could be solved by studying were able to see the effect of cramming.

In terms of swordsmanship and magic, it was important how much effort you put in and how talented you are. When the exam was just around the corner, only a handful of students were training their swords.

That was Eugene.

“Whoa… ….”

He took off his shirt and practiced the sword.

With long training, the light body of the first day possessed disappeared.

His shoulders were wide open and his whole body was full of small muscles. All of them were specialized muscles for wielding a sword.

As a swordsman, Eugene has the ideal body to wield a sword.

‘It’s literally just ideal.’

To see the tip of the sword, physical training was a lifelong training along with meditation.

I was thinking of spending a little more time on the sword in the future, but I didn’t mean to stop training my body.

‘I will swing it 10,000 more times.’

Eugene fixed his sword and continued his training.

He had already swung his sword for several hours, but he had no intention of stopping.

A few days ago, the work of absorbing the inside of Geumwa was over, so the mana became incomparably stronger, and it was easy to maintain high-intensity training for a long time.

Of course, easy means less training, so Eugene pushed himself even more harshly.

I knew that studying notes like other students would be better for my grades, but I couldn’t stop because I thought I would come to a realization if I did a little more.

Horizontal, vertical, stabbing.

It’s been a month and a half since I’ve repeated this basic swordsmanship countless times. Just to see the basic extreme. Of course, no matter how gifted I was, it was greedy to see the drama in such a short time.

However, it was good even if it wasn’t dramatic. Even that alone could have been a full realization to Eugene.

He just swung and swung.

My body didn’t stop even when I screamed for it to stop. I will not pick up the sword until it falls from my grip and rolls on the floor. I forgot the muscle tearing scream. Gritted it

The master of the sword, who is unprecedented in the world, has undergone rigorous training that no one in the world can do.

When he made his 10,000th horizontal slash, the movement of the sword seemed very slow.

The moonlight flowing through the black surface was clearly visible. As he drew his sword all the way, the moonlight bounced off him.

In that slow movement, Eugene opened his eyes to the sword he had repeated countless times.

The corner of his mouth went up slightly.

‘I realized… ….’

He didn’t have the strength to wield the sword any more, nor did he have the strength to speak out.

However, the sword wielded next will be in a different realm than before. There was no doubt.

‘The time has finally come for the next step… ….’

The foundation for attempting to combine brain power and swordsmanship, which I had been thinking about for a long time, was completed.

When I open my eyes tomorrow, I will be immersed in it all day.

With that thought, Eugene’s mind suddenly cut off. He fell backwards and fell asleep as if passed out.

*

“Homeless?”

“… ….”

“It’s Eugene. Why are you sleeping here…….”

“… ….”

“…… Hey.”

“Ugh… ….”

Yujin opened her eyes at the sound of someone calling.

Behind Silin, a silver-haired female student tapping on my shoulder, the bright sun greeted him.

‘What, you slept until morning?’

Me?

Eugene always woke up at dawn, even if he slept late.

Because the body’s resilience is so good, I couldn’t sleep even after a short sleep.

Because I believed in that strong body, I stretched out knowing that I would be able to get up and return to the dormitory before anyone saw it.

But you slept until morning?

This meant that I had practiced too late, or that I had undergone severe training that I couldn’t recover from after a few hours of sleep.

‘Considering what happened yesterday, the latter would be correct.’

…… There is nothing more to think about.

Eugene stopped thinking and stood up.

Then, looking at it, I saw Sylin, who had awakened her fainting self.

With her questionable face, she came out undressed because it was a weekend morning, but her long silver hair flowing like starlight and her green eyes sparkling like jewels came out in admiration.

‘Women of this world are true.’

As I meditated every day to get rid of body waste and maintain a tidy body, pretty women were infinitely pretty.

‘I’m not interested.’

The sword was too attractive to draw attention to such a thing.

A swordsman who is enamored with beauty ruins his life.

In order for the swordsman to improve every day and raise her level, the farther away the woman was, the better.

It was icing on the cake if he was lonely, ugly, and had no testicles.

‘I’m not ugly, and I have testicles.’

It was true that I lived a solitary life.

“Why were you sleeping at the swordsmanship training ground?”

At that time, Silin looked into the distance and asked.

She was trying to make her grim face look like she wasn’t interested, but her eyes were quivering slightly.

It was because of her swordsmanship skills, which have not improved easily recently.

She couldn’t openly ask Eugene for advice, such as asking her to look at her swordsmanship, but she had received help with the sword in the past, so she thought that if Eugene gave her advice, she would be her. I was thinking of sticking it in my head.

Eugene didn’t even think about that.

“Well…… I must have fainted while training.”

“Why were you taking off your clothes?”

“It must have been hot.”

“That…… They say?”

Silin’s eyebrows trembled slightly. She tried to continue the conversation somehow, but Eugene only repeated her short answer.

Chillin Why are you here? She could have asked the same question.

Then she already had nothing more to study for the comprehensive exam, and she came out early for morning swordsmanship training, so she could continue the conversation in the same way.

However, Eugene left without leaving a brief greeting.

“Anyway, thank you. I could have slept better if you hadn’t woken me up.”

“… ….”

Surprised by Eugene’s sudden departure, her hand went out without me realizing it.

However, that hand never grabbed Eugene. Because he knew that it wasn’t like that. He just looked at Yujin’s back.

He had a great body that was incomparable to the past, perhaps because he had recently undergone rigorous training.

It’s hard to take your eyes off the small muscles on your back moving back and forth…….

Pair

Sillin slapped me on the cheek.

‘I’m crazy.’

There’s nothing to look at, look at Eugene’s muscles?

Even if you’re insane because you’re frustrated with your stagnant swordsmanship skills, you have to distinguish between what to do and what not to do.

“Ugh… ….”

Silin rubbed her eyes in order to erase Eugene’s back muscles from her mind.

*

After returning to the dormitory and washing her body, Eugene recovered her body’s uniqueness and magic through meditation and came out.

He entered the vast forest next to the Royal School for training.

It would be convenient to go to a nearby swordsmanship training center, but I couldn’t let others see the training I was going to do from now on.

‘This is good enough.’

After wandering around, he found a large, empty space in the middle of the forest.

If you remember this place, the time to come and go will be shorter, so there was no problem securing training time.

‘Sure.’

Yujin took out a sword from her waist and concentrated.

What he will do from now on is the fusion of sword and brain attribute magic.

More fundamentally.

It was to wield the magical energy converted into lightning into the sword.

In this world, uncharted territory that no one has even attempted.

Is that possible? Do you have practicality? Leaving the same question. In the first place, humans with talent for both sword and magic were rare.

Even if such a person existed and both had the heart to learn, they would only be criticized for wasting their lives if they did such a thing.

Because both swords and magic are studies that no single human can learn even if he dedicates his entire life.

It was a common idea in the world that even if you have talent on both sides, it was to increase your chances of becoming great by focusing on one.

‘That’s why a pioneer is needed.’

Planning is ten times harder than walking a pioneered path.

But because of that, he had no doubt that someone like him should pioneer.

Eugene took a pause and closed his eyes.

He slowly raised his mana from the dantian and brought it into his hand. And he converted that mana into brain energy as if developing brain attribute magic.

Paji weave

I felt intense brain energy in the cabin. If you materialize this in any form and shoot it out, it is brain-attribute magic.

However, Eugene collected these with his fingertips.

Then he slowly, very slowly, drained it into the sword.

Paper weave

“Kuh…… !”

As I tried to pour brain energy into the sword in the real world, I felt a strong repulsive force through my hand.

It was like this even though he controlled brain energy with his innate magical power management ability.

‘This is why everyone won’t do it.’

But I had to.

It’s no exaggeration to say that I’ve been through hellish training for this.

The sword and brain are one.

We must become one.

Yujin recalled that image clearly and poured her brain energy into her sword.

If I made the slightest mistake in protecting myself with magic, I would be electrocuted and leave my sword behind.

‘I can’t do that!’

Yujin gritted her teeth and poured brain energy into the sword. The cerebral palsy exploded.

‘Just a little more!’

It felt like the sword would hold brain energy if I did just a little bit more. Until the last moment, Eugene did not let go of the string of tension and operated his magic.

And.

Cheese

The brain energy flowed from his hand and climbed up the handle. The brain energy rotated like a tornado and reached the sword body, and in an instant, it swung around the entire sword.

That’s it.

The sword and the thunderbolt became one.

My hand hurt terribly from the brainwave that bounced all the time, but I had to endure this much pain. It was a pain that would go away anyway as time passed and skill was accumulated.

‘If you swing the sword in this state, it’s a thunder sword.’

Yujin fixed her lower body tightly and performed a horizontal cut.

It was repeated countless times, and the graceful horizontal cut, like a painting, stretched out with brain energy.

Pajijijik!

A speed as if a beam of light had been shot.

The sword combined with brain power overwhelms the speed when wielding only the sword. Its power was also incomparable to before.

‘As expected.’

No, more than that.

Yujin thrust out her sword once more. Unstoppable, slippery and beautiful sword strikes raged. The sword body with dazzling brain energy split the sky on both sides.

‘This is… ….’

It was the moment when a new swordsmanship, brain swordsmanship, was created by a genius.
