Did you know that turtles can’t do push-ups? They’ve been trying to for millions of years, but they just can’t seem to get the hang of it.

Group assignment (1)

Professors of the Faculty of Engineering gather at the end of each month to evaluate students and share teaching methods.

Even if it’s not necessarily like that, the commonality of ‘same knight’ and social gatherings are quite important social activities in a group.

At the end of April, when the midterm exams were held, the topics of the monthly meeting were the fairness of the budget being taken away by the Faculty of Magic and the financial situation of the mission board settlement, but it was none other than the 5th grade knight student who came up as a hot potato.

Corinne Locke.

The unfairness of this 5th grade knight student’s evaluation grade.

“Corin Locke needs to be upgraded.”

The originator of the agenda is old man Harman, who boasts of 30 years of service, a stone stuck in the Faculty of Engineering.

It’s not common for this snarky nobleman to actively support someone, so even the elder professors paid attention to what he said.

“Coryn Locke. You must have been a freshman, right?”

“Grade 5? Looking at the data, it’s a disastrous level. Why is this student like this?”

Senior professors who reveal their doubts. They were professors who hadn’t watched the first-year midterm exams that took place about two weeks ago.

“If it’s only a 5th grade knight, there’s nothing more to look at…”

“That 5th grade knight had a head-to-head fight against swordsman Lunia Arden. It was only for about 3 minutes.”

“······!!”

“What nonsense…”

At the addition of Professor Permak, who was in charge of the first year, voices of disbelief spread from the upper-year engineering department professors.

Who is Lunia Arden? Isn’t it the next powerful head of Aden, a master of swordsmanship?

The unprecedented evaluation and performance as a semi-special article are proof that he is a hero representing an era.

With one gesture from her, dozens of 5th-class knights, let alone 5th-class knights, would be cut in half, but she dealt with 3 minutes?

“I bet you saw it.”

The words of Professor Lloyd, who was in charge of the third year, were immediately refuted by Old Man Harman.

“Does any of the professors present, myself included, think that Lunia Arden looked after Corinne Locke?”

“·······.”

“·······.”

The silence even more embarrassed the senior professors.

“Even so, it’s a bit much to raise the grade only by midterm exams…”

Older Harman did not mention the Marie Dunareff case here.

Unlike him, who was a first-class knight and a leading figure in the Knights Faculty, most of the people here only received information as announced by the academy.

Professor Lloyd asked Professor Permak, who was in charge of the first year, to confirm.

“Professor Permak. Do you have any doubts about the abilities of a student named Corinne?”

“None. His skill with spears is like that of a ghost. To be honest, I don’t think there will be any class 2 students who can compete with him.”

“Is that enough?”

“There must be a candidate for Aden’s successor in the first year, right?”

“That friend, he was smashed in the practice of hunting ground. He was not even an opponent.”

“hmm···!”

Indeed, there is no question about his ability. If that’s the case, it’s certain that he has skills comparable to those of the 1st class…

“Even so, special promotion cannot be recognized according to the rules unless there is a record. This is the rule.”

It is the common opinion of the attendees that the rating cannot be raised immediately. Midterm exams, which are not reflected in performance, cannot draw conclusions.

Old Man Harmon, who has the longest working experience among the professors here, came up with an alternative as if he had waited.

“Let’s leave it to the association’s official rating measurement. There is a limit to the special promotion, so there is an upper limit, but I think we can do a re-measurement under the condition of issuing an ‘official’ guardian card.”

“hmm······.”

“But then the student’s academic calendar and the professor in charge have to be left out…”

“Professor Harmon brought up the story… No, since it’s the instructor, will Instructor Harmon take over?”

“I hoped.”

As Instructor Harman volunteered to conduct a re-measurement test, a conclusion came from the Faculty of Engineering.

First of all, he prepares for a test to re-measure the grade of a student named ‘Coryn Locke’. If it passes there, the grade will be officially upgraded.

“Whoa… Is that Corinne Locke?”

Professor Permak, who was on the side of Korin’s re-grading, also thought of Korin, who had become the subject of the agenda.

Corinne Locke.

5th grade knight.

Both the aura level and the magic level are low. There was nothing wrong with the amount of error.

However, the fight against Runia Arden suggested that that assessment was wrong.

In the skill transfer, the specs cannot even be compared with those before the grade test. There is something… Permak easily concluded.

The reason he could do that was because he had a presumed power.

A secret technique possessed by the warriors of the old shadow paradise. A promise that is itself high risk high return.

‘Besides, that spear… wherever you look, it’s his spear.’

The teacher of Permak and the teacher who taught him runes. great sorcerer. Permak had no knowledge of spearmanship, but the spearmanship he had seen many times was identical to his master’s.

‘Could I be his disciple like me?’

So far, the stage of guess or circumstantial evidence is dominant. If Corinne Locke was his disciple…

“I need to try again.”

Permak hid his sharp gaze between his sunglasses and returned to his usual flirtatious young professor.

* * * *

The beginning of the semester, which was tumultuous in many ways, has passed, and it is already May.

Arisha, who had an eventful start to the semester, bounced up the stairs with more expectations than usual.

If Arisha is also normal, then she is an ordinary student. Classes are always boring and I want to skip it, but today’s class is the time I share with a certain student.

I greet everyone by opening the door to classroom 4012 on the 4th floor of the Freedom Hall of the Faculty of Engineering.

“hello~!”

“Arisha, hello.”

As one of the few second-class knights in the first year, everyone recognized her.

Above all, the candidate for the next head of Aden, a master of swordsmanship. It is an existence that cannot be known through newspapers or school rumors.

Arisha was a classmate who was quite sociable, so she walked through the gun shooting classroom with a kind smile to her classmates who were greeting her.

“Miss Corinne~”

The place where Arisha settled down is the seat next to Corinne.

“·······.”

Did you know that seagulls are just beach chickens?

Yeager went to the bathroom and narrowed his eyes at the seat next to him.

He narrowed his eyes and glared at Corinne with sharp eyes that could not be hidden.

These days, sitting next to a classmate is glamorous.

In the common class with the upper grade department, the most famous person in the academy, Mr. Potato, came, and in the first year, the Knight Faculty class, the fearsome demon girl and the granddaughter of the Sword Emperor came.

As a friend of Corinne Locke? There was only one thing he could say.

‘I’m so jealous!!’

When did my friend start showing off his flamboyant connections? what about my youth? Why is the seat next to me so cold!

From noble mtl dot com

As I struggled so much, the time had passed.

“Yo~ freshmen, are you all ready?”

A man with punk afro hair and sunglasses. It was Professor Permak Daman, one of the professors of the Faculty of Engineering.

“As announced in the last class, we will do group assignments from today.”

“iced coffee······.”

Sighs flow from here and there. Professor Permak Daman of the Faculty of Engineering lightly chewed the complaints of such students.

“Come on, everyone, don’t look so annoying. This is the sword that becomes flesh and bones.”

In order to boost the morale of the students, Professor Seonji Permak skillfully planted expectations.

When it comes to group assignments at the academy, it’s usually an image of increased tedious work, but at Guardian Academy, it’s mainly because of the practical classes.

“Before class, I’m going to explain the group assignments first. Since we’re in the Faculty of Engineering, we don’t do difficult math or raising mysterious plants like the magicians do.”

-ha ha ha!

Faculty of Knights and Faculty of Magic. It’s not to the point of being a sharp confrontation, but Professor Permak skillfully utilized the nervous warfare that had to exist subtly.

-widely!

The air he flicked with his fingers exploded, and the data page installed on the blackboard opened up.

“Wow~ You just put an aiki on your finger? Did you see it, Korin-san?”

“saw.”

Professor Permak is popular among students because he shows off such eye-catching tricks well.

“Okay, you’re looking at this paper.”

In the data Permak brought, there is a large picture of the human body.

Scene by scene, scene by scene, as if explaining an action. These are illustrations likely to be found in martial arts books related to knightly martial arts.

“hmm?”

“Mr. Corinne?”

“Nothing.”

The movements expressed in the illustrations on the paper were spearmanship.

The basics of the spear, such as the middle guard and high guard, which are the postures of the spear, forward, walking, side movement, and lunge movement, are faithfully expressed.

Before learning the six chorus, only spearmanship should die. These are movements that I cannot know.

‘Why? Was it boxing in the previous episode?’

Permak Daman is a boxer. A fighter represented by range control, dash, and his own characteristic shadow.

In addition, a first-class knight from Berkut Academy in the north, famous for the rune magic engraved on his gauntlet.

He was a famous knight enough to change the fighting doctrine of the kingdom army, so he proudly taught martial arts in the previous episode…

‘Is it because of me?’

The match against Lunia Arden in the midterm exam. It seems that he was stimulated by the spearmanship he showed there.

After all, Permak Daman and I have a personal relationship.

It was only natural that he began to doubt my spearmanship, which had a similar lineage. It’s good.

“Why is it spearmanship? I don’t know what to say, but there are far more students who use swords.”

“There are many people who learned swordsmanship separately.”

“·······.”

“Every martial art has its own ‘mystery’ hidden. In a battle against people, if you don’t know these secret techniques, you’ll have no choice but to be defeated.”

Sword wrestling is a typical example. It’s easy to misunderstand, but in close combat, just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you win.

Rather, the types that push with force are easily counterattacked and end up in critical spots.

Sword wrestling is a representative example of this, in which the opponent’s head or neck is cut off with a short gap of less than 0.5 seconds while receiving the opponent’s sword.

The only way to counter these occult techniques is through thorough practice.

“There will be many opportunities for swordsmanship in the future, but there are few things to learn about less major skills such as spearmanship or martial arts. Typically, Korin students.”

“······yes.”

In this classroom of about 40 people, there were about six spearmen including me. Among them, it is a natural flow that I, who is the hottest on the subject, which is a grade 5 article, is pointed out.

More than anything, my stock price is skyrocketing these days. Because I had a fight with that swordsman, Lunaia Aden.

“What do you think are the advantages of spearmanship?”

“It must be the suppressive power at long range and the destructive power unique to long weapons.”

“That’s right. Why is there such a difference?”

“It’s basically because you hold it with two hands, and it’s easy to load weight and centrifugal force.”

“That’s right. The difference between a greatsword and a one-handed sword is also evident, but the heavier and longer the weapon, the greater the destructive power. Student Ranan, do you have any questions?”

“Yes, professor! But isn’t the sword the strongest! There are many people who learn it!”

“A sword first person came out again! Hey, even so, long weapons are the best!”

“What! Haven’t you heard of King of All Byeongji? Because if you dig in, the sword wins?”

“Would you like to come in?”

Alas, this old argument never ends. Who is the seat of the king of panacea?

It is an important issue among young students. Actually, being an adult doesn’t change anything.

“Haha, then Corrin student who competed in a great fight with that swordsman, Lunaia Aden.”

why do you call me again Through Professor Permak’s sunglasses, sharp eyes were directed at me.

“What do you think the strongest weapon is, in your opinion, Corin?”

I could give an exemplary answer, but I don’t feel the need to do so. I’m sure Professor Permak has done it himself… but there’s no need to hide it from him.

“Of course, the spear is the strongest and I am the strongest.”

“Oooh!!”

“You want to stick together?!”

Haha, the eyes and jeers of the energetic students are pouring down on me. what to do

“·······.”

In the meantime, I could feel Hwaran’s gaze. Um… I hope you won’t say anything later, will you?

Except for you…

* * * *

Professor Permak gave a group assignment near the end of the class while explaining the basic posture and form of spearmanship.

“In this group assignment, each group will have time to freely select and study spearmanship and demonstrate the ‘technique’ of spearmanship one by one.”

“Professor, aren’t students using spears too advantageous?”

“I’m going to make an evaluation by considering it. To the extent of raising the additional points or evaluation standards. Now, four people will be selected as a group, and the group will be drawn by lot.”

Permak placed the lottery he had brought on the table and had the students draw in turn.

In the classroom, 40 first-year engineering students were waiting. Since there are 4 people in 1 group, a total of 10 people will be created.

The spearmen, including Corinne, were divided into groups in advance to disperse.

“I’m in group 3. Corinne, what group are you?”

“Article 3.”

“Oh, nice~”

“・・・・・Corin-san is Team 3.”

Arisha listened to the conversation between Yeager and Corinne and walked towards the swallow. Probability is 10%. May the goddess of luck be with you.

The swallow that approached like that. Hwaran, wearing a chained nun’s uniform, who had been in line first, had just cast lots.

“How many Dutch students are there?”

“Article 3.”

“Okay. Corinne Locke, Hwaran, and Jaeger Hinzpeter trio.”

‘Ha, there’s only one left!’

Wouldn’t that give you a good chance? Arisha put her hand into the lottery box with a nervous expression.

‘Joe 3! 3 trillion! Article 3…!’

Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Jump! and the chosen lot. In that lot…

“Arisha Arden. Article 8.”

“······ah.”

Lady Luck didn’t take her side. Right after that…

“Doron War Sky Part 3.”

“ah······.”

The sigh reached Doron, who had just cast his lot. He looked back and forth between his ticket and Arisha, and then offered it generously.

“Shall we exchange?”

“Is that okay?!”

“Well, it’s a bit of a loss, but nothing can’t be done.”

“Mr. Doron… are you a good man?”

Arisha approached Doron’s table with twinkling eyes. But good! and the mark of Doron, which is recovered.

“???”

“Twenty silver coins.”

“Are you getting paid too?!”

“Nothing is free, Miss Aden.”

“expensive!”

“Well… Considering the opportunity cost, I think I’ll be the loser.”

“What does that mean?”

“If you don’t like it, don’t.”

Arisha grabbed the hem of Doron’s clothes as he calmly turned around like a ghost. It was a speed that even the veteran mercenary Doron could not react.

“D-I’ll give it to you.”

Trembling and shaking, the poor girl’s wallet opened.

[Group task 3.]

Holland

Corinne Locke

Arisha Arden

Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Jaeger Hinzpeter

There was some corruption and backdoor dealings, but the team members for the group assignment were decided like this.

“The assignment is due in two weeks, until class. Well, on weekdays, borrow a martial arts book from the library and study, and practice freely in the gymnasium or festival venue.”

With that said, class ended early. This means that each group has time to review the plan.

“Right, who’s the leader?”

“·······.”

“·······.”

“·······.”

Corinne’s words turned into an own goal. It was because the three of them stared at him as promised.

Chickens invented the chicken dance. They’re just too embarrassed to admit it.

Just like the development of a common group task in Hyundai Earth, ‘Only oppa, trust me!’
