19 – Time flows like flowing water (4)

The birth of brain swordsmanship was another small realization. Eugene naturally fell into a trance.

He just surrendered himself to the sword. The operation of the thunder sword was slowly imprinted on his body. The longer this lasted the better

Creating a swordsmanship and building the proficiency to use in actual combat were two separate issues. He forgot time and hunger, waiting in a trance for the sword to stop.

At some point, the sword stopped.

It wasn’t that his mana had run out. When the black mana disappeared, he waited without using his brain power.

The current pause simply meant that the trance had naturally ended.

‘The brain sword entered my head.’

He couldn’t create any special technique with the brain sword. It was all about learning the basic act of just overlaying brain energy on the sword.

However, since he had accumulated enough proficiency to be able to use it in actual combat, it could be said that he had laid the foundation for the next step, such as creating a technique with a lightning sword.

‘It’s not a bad result.’

Yujin kept the sword.

How much time has passed by the way?

He started practicing when the sun was up, and the sun was still there.

‘What is this feeling?’

It’s similar to when you overslept.

“What…… Oh billion.”

The moment he opened his mouth to say what is it out of habit, his throat was cut and no sound came out.

I didn’t know until now, but I couldn’t make sense of my physical condition. He was thirsty for a long time, and his clean clothes were dirty.

Sleep! Did you meditate?

The exhausted body was screaming.

‘How long did you swing your sword?’

The trance can last for a few hours if short, and up to four days if long.

Are you speechless because your esophagus is dry?

“Oops…… Billion…….”

Eugene, who became like a beggar, found a small valley and drank water first. After making a sabari of water like an elephant.

“Ughhh. I will finally live.”

As the moisture entered, the screams of the body quieted down a bit.

Yujin immediately sat down on a rock and meditated for about 10 minutes before getting up.

“I think I’ll still look behind… ….”

Once I got to the level of moving my body. Eugene immediately put her magic on her leg and rushed to the Royal School.

I had to find out how much time had passed.

‘It seems that truancy has already been committed… ….’

I just hoped that I would have time left to study for the comprehensive exam, which I had been living without.

‘It’s eleven o’clock.’

He checked the time on the clock tower and went straight into the dormitory.

‘It’s late anyway, so there’s no point in going early or late!’

Rather than going like a beggar, it was better to wash up and wear a school uniform.

In an instant, Eugene finished dressing up and left the dormitory and arrived in front of the classroom.

‘Is it Mr. Abel’s class?’

Abel’s voice came from the classroom.

‘It’s fortunate.’

Abel was a friendly teacher and homeroom teacher for Eugene, so she was better off than having other teachers teach.

Yujin opened the classroom door and entered.

“Huh?”

“What?”

In an instant, everyone’s eyes were focused.

Surprised, curious, not interested…….

The most common emotion among them was absurdity.

“Yoo, yu yu jin von Lennon Grace!”

Abel threw the chalk at her and walked over to the classroom floor and stood in front of Eugene.

“Where the hell are you from? Without saying anything?”

“That… ….”

“Do you know what day it is today?”

“Uh… ….”

Eugene said with hope.

“…… Monday?”

“Wednesday! It’s Wednesday!”

Kung

The footsteps imbued with magic rang through the classroom.

Abel began to fire her words like a rapid-fire cannon.

“What the hell have you been up until now, you haven’t even been to school! Because of you, there is no place that the teacher has not looked for! I’ve already filed a missing person report with the constable, and the search is about to begin tomorrow! Where the hell! What were you doing when you showed up!”

“… ….”

“I looked forward to seeing your sword, how could you do something like this! You know what day tomorrow is!”

Okay then, it’s a comprehensive exam.

Eugene nodded her head vigorously, and Abel let out a sigh.

“…… So, why haven’t you seen it until now? Didn’t you go to school? Didn’t you come out?”

“That… ….”

If she gave a strange answer, it seemed that Abel would ask for her life or death, so Eugene told them exactly what had happened.

“I couldn’t come out. I was training alone on the weekend, and a sudden realization came to me.”

“Enlightenment has come?”

“Yes. It came in the form of a trance and I couldn’t even stop. If you stop, it’s only natural that you’ll lose consciousness, and runaway magic might happen…….”

“Hmm… ….”

Abel made a troubled face.

Enlightenment.

Isn’t the meaning of the Royal School’s existence the growth of its students?

If what Eugene said was true, she couldn’t punish her for being absent without notice. Rather, you should give it a compliment.

If he is right, all three days should have been recognized as normal attendance.

‘The question is whether or not you believe that… ….’

Actually, when Abel listened to what Eugene said, he already believed her.

To be precise, I wanted to believe.

Because I knew that Eugene is more serious about swordsmanship than anyone else, and that she is the student who sharpens her sword the most. Seeing Eugene wielding a sword as her body broke, and seeing that she pushed herself to such an extent, it made her respect her.

This was something to be happy about, and it was something I wanted to believe in. As a teacher and swordsman, she discovered his talent.

The problem.

‘I’m not the only one here.’

Even though I wanted to believe in Eugene and make truancy a thing, there were too many students who listened to him.

“Enlightenment? Trance?”

“You’re making too many excuses?”

“I would rather have been hit by a wagon once more.”

A cloud of distrust rose among the students.

‘I have no choice but to do that.’

If Abel hadn’t seen Eugene’s talent in person, he would have reacted the same as those students. Enlightenment did not come that easily.

“Teacher! Just refer it to the disciplinary committee!”

“Didn’t the disciplinary committee go too far with truancy?”

“I don’t know! You were wrong anyway!”

The classroom became noisy. The students were not in a good condition because they stayed up all night preparing for tomorrow’s comprehensive exam.

As usual, if Yujin’s absence was eliminated by ignoring the opinions of the students by asserting her authority as a teacher, there would be a setback in her future education.

‘I could hand it over to take care of it later, but… ….’

That way, the case could be settled, but Abel’s usual attitude was the problem.

The fact that she had a deep crush on Eugene as her teacher was a fact known to all the students who went to her swordsmanship training class with Eugene.

Wouldn’t it have been if you hadn’t pushed Eugene a while ago?

If she shot her like that and then suddenly walked over, students might come out and ask if she was showing favoritism to Eugene.

‘What should I do…… ?’

The answer did not come easily. Abel frowned and pondered.

At that time, a cold voice came from a corner of the classroom.

“Enlightenment may come, why is everyone like that?”

A voice that clearly penetrated everyone’s ears. Naturally, everyone’s attention was focused.

‘Silin…… ?’

There was Silin with a cold face.

‘Sillin sided with Eugene?’

Abel’s eyes widened. Silin was basically cold to everyone equally, and she rarely took sides.

To think that she would take Eugene’s side?

‘Sillin, didn’t you hate Eugene…… ?’

Everyone in the school knew that if Shilin was Yujin, she would drop out of school.

‘This is… ….’

‘How does something work?’

All the students in the classroom looked at Silin with her stunned face.

As befits a daughter of the Duchess of Ruberta, she continued to speak coldly as if nothing had happened even though many eyes were focused on her.

“I know everyone is sensitive about exams, but I don’t think it’s good to accuse innocent students.”

That’s right, that’s right.

But it’s ridiculous when you say that!

“And it’s no wonder he’s having an epiphany. He has a knack for swords. Equal to or greater than me.”

At those words, an earthquake shook the faces of the students.

This was absolutely ridiculous.

Silin, the best swordsman prodigy in the first year, protects Eugene and says that his talent may be above him?

‘A stomach loaded with Yujin’s talent? What kind of nonsense is that!’

‘Why are you saying that? Why is that self-respecting woman?’

‘What kind of wind is blowing?’

No one took Silin’s comments about Eugene’s talent seriously.

However, the ripple effect of Silin’s words was embedded in everyone’s mind. Silin, who had hated Eugene so much, now supported Eugene.

In this classroom, there were no children from families with a higher prestige than Ruberta. It was in itself impossible to pretend to be the daughter of the Duchess of Luberta, and everyone kept their mouths shut.

“Go, let’s study or study.”

“I have an exam tomorrow, so I have to study.”

“It doesn’t matter if someone else is truant or not.”

All students put their heads on books. If this was also magic, there was no doubt that it was high-level magic.

‘This is… ….’

Abel was just dazed as he watched the scene.

‘Is the power of the Ruberta family at this level?’

Every student banging their heads on books.

It was terrifying.

‘Though Tina remains the same… ….’

Only Tina, from the Florence family, who was a countess but had equal prestige to the Duchess of Louberta, raised her face as it was.

With her calm face, she slowly raised her hand.

‘Why are you raising your hand?’

Before that question could be properly connected, Tina’s mouth opened.

“Teacher, I also think that what is written is correct.”

To you?

The students who had their faces buried in the books lifted her head again and stared at her Tina.

‘Why is he doing that again?’

‘Even Tina is on Eugene’s side?’

Isn’t she the one who didn’t get pushed by Silin because she was reluctant to her Eugene?

Not everyone could understand this situation.

“I know because I played against Yujin the other day, but it is true that he is talented. Is it true that you gained enlightenment this time?”

She looked at Tina, who spoke casually, and the Qinghua class stopped thinking.

‘I don’t know anymore.’

‘I see nothing.’

To think that the two female students, the dream of every male student, would take the side of Eugene, whom they hated the most.

“…… Hmm, yes. The teacher’s opinion is not very different. Let’s continue class.”

At least Abel, who was the first to regain her runaway spirit, resumed her classes.

The distraught students didn’t even listen to Abel properly.
