I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

what the hell is this guy

It’s been an hour since I entered the portal, but the man named Kang Shin-hyeok, who left after arguing, has not returned.

I tried to dissuade her until the end, but Kang Shin-hyeok kept arguing that she was okay, so believe in herself, and even Seon-hwa sided with her, so she had no choice.

In fact, Kang Shin-hyeok looks so arrogant, so I have a little bit of a mind to be embarrassed.

I don’t like the fact that Seonhwa keeps taking sides.

Of course, it is unbelievable that such a person would fight on an equal footing with the master and use the Aura Blade that S-rank hunters use.

Still, he’s not a kid who tells a story without any line art, so he must have some skill.

I thought I would have the skills to run away even if the situation is bad, but I am a little anxious that my return is delayed.

In fact, not long after Kang Shin-hyeok left, Seon-hwa asked me to go with him.

The man boasted so much, but he objected, saying, “What are you following?” Seon-hwa looks at her phone in the corner, perhaps a little offended.

From the moment we met, I noticed that Seonhwa seemed to be interested… I thought I would have followed you as if you had come.

“Stop, Seol-ah.”

“what’s the matter?”

“The color of the portal seems strange… .”

“What is that… Gee, is it real?”

I don’t know when the portal that was blue when we entered changed to dark blue.

“If it’s navy blue, it’s grade A. When did this change?”

“I-I saw it just now, so I’m sure… . What should I do, Mr. Kang?”

If the color of the portal has changed, it means that there are monsters from A-level portals in this portal now.

I’ve heard that monsters evolve by eating each other, or that this can happen very rarely for other reasons, but I’ve never seen it before… .

Am embarrassed.

“Let’s go find Mr. Kang quickly. It would be impossible if it turned into an A-class portal.”

Sunhwa is right.

A rank 4 portal can be cleared with at least 3 A rank hunters.

No, in fact, since the level of monsters rises sharply from the A-class portal, low-rank hunters do not accompany them.

It’s about the extent of taking one very skilled B-rank hunter with you for experience.

But… .

“what’s the matter? I don’t have time to be like this right now. Teacher Kang could be dangerous.”

“Let’s go out at once. From going out and reporting to the Hunter Management Bureau… .”

“What are you talking about? I have to find Mr. Kang and go out with him!”

It’s a very angry face.

It seems that Seonhwa likes teacher Kang Shin-hyeok a lot more than I thought, so it’s even more regrettable.

Monsters sometimes evolve by eating each other, but there are also cases where they evolve by eating hunters.

If the portal that was obviously blue when entering changed after Kang Shin-hyeok left alone, it is more likely to be the latter than the former.

Sunhwa doesn’t seem to know this fact.

I thought about it for a while, but finally talked to Seonhwa.

If he didn’t say anything, he was ready to leave alone to find him.

“Yeah, that can’t be. It must have evolved by eating monsters.”

“It’s been over an hour since Kang Shin-hyeok left, and it was definitely blue when we came earlier.”

“ah… It won’t be.”

“Seonhwa, think realistically. You don’t even know what kind of monster it is. We might all die if we act hastily!”

This portal, which we took a peek at at the border of the safe zone earlier, is a mountain portal.

The monsters that appear in the mountainous A-class portal are Giant Poison Spider, Giant Snake, Ancient Oak, and an ogre called the Nightmare of the Forest, but I can’t catch them by myself.

In the first place, a hunter who can handle A-rank portal monsters alone is the best A-rank… No, if an ogre-like opponent is an opponent, it is impossible unless it is an S-rank hunter like Master.

“… .”

Did I push too hard? Still, the living have to live, so there is nothing they can do.

“I’m sorry too, I’m sorry. But we didn’t force you to go alone, you said you would go. Let’s go out and report it and ask for support.”

“sorry. I can’t possibly do that. Lee Seol-ah, go first. I’ll find Mr. Kang and go out with him.”

under… . I’m really going crazy.

“What are you going to do if something goes wrong with you?”

“When I asked to come to Class B, I agreed. I have my own responsibilities, but I can’t go on like this.”

“If you are wrong, what will the master do? Think of your master!”

Seonhwa’s mother died when she was young, and she has no siblings, so she only has one master in her family.

“Dad… .”

“Master has only you as his family. But doing this for someone who might have already died is really… .”

“stop. Rather, when I heard that, I was convinced. If it were my dad, I would never have abandoned Mr. Kang and ran away.”

I thought I had finally changed my mind, but I think it was a mistake to bring up the story of the master.

I thought of knocking her out by force and taking her outside, but if I did that, I think I would fall out with Seonhwa forever.

However, as Seon-hwa said, if I go outside alone and report it, but if Seon-hwa goes wrong, I have no face to see the master’s face.

It was a complete dilemma, so in the end, I made a promise to run away without looking back in case of danger, and left the safe zone with Seonhwa.

After crossing the border, they found the bodies of Giant Monkeys.

Looking at the condition, it seemed that it had been caught for a while, so I passed by and continued the search, and found the body of a giant monkey in various places.

I couldn’t help but be surprised that the bodies I’d seen for the first time, as well as all the bodies I’d found so far, were in the same condition.

They were all headless and the cut sections were perfectly smooth.

Although Giant Monkey is not very strong among monsters in B-class portals, its leather is quite tough and its bones are quite strong enough to be used as materials for armor.

No matter how famous the knives Kang Shin-hyeok was holding, it would be impossible to cut them like this.

Did you write an auror?

I couldn’t believe it when Sunhwa said he used an Aura Blade, but I don’t know about Aura Blades, but I think I can use at least Auras.

There are no other wounds other than a missing neck.

They say they killed them all in one hit, but considering the speed of the nimble guys, that would be difficult for me as well.

This is at least a skilled A-rank hunter.

It’s as good as he boasted, but that’s what makes him more anxious.

If a Hunter with that level of skill is at a level where he can’t escape and die, it won’t be a common A-rank monster.

Wow!

I felt my body stiffen when I heard the sudden roar.

Seonhwa collapsed on the spot and gasped, but perhaps because she is a wizard, her resistance to peers is low.

Activate mana to dispel the energy of peers, and tell Seonhwa to use magic to remove abnormal conditions.

“What the hell was that?”

I thought it would never be as good as him… .

It’s that guy.

“That should be ogre bloom. Seonhwa, we really have to get out.”

Even among A-rank hunters, he is a fearsome guy who is even called the ‘Nightmare of the Forest’.

Because such a guy appeared, Kang Shin-hyeok, who was able to use an aura, must have been defeated without being able to escape.

“Oh, an ogre? Are you sure?”

“It must be. You haven’t forgotten what we promised when we left the safe zone, right? Let’s go out right now.”

“… .”

“What are you procrastinating on?”

“But I still miss Mr. Kang… .”

“Kang Shin-hyeok must have already suffered.”

“What are you saying… .”

“Wake! I also saw the Giant Monkey corpse and confirmed that Kang Shin-hyeok knows how to use Aura. But the opponent is oh It’s a nightmare in the forest that says don’t fight unless there are five A-rank hunters who can use auras!”

I feel frustrated.

“You could be fighting right now. If we go and help, we can all run away together… .”

“Don’t ignore reality. Mr. Kang is already dead.”

Ogres roar for no reason even when they are not in combat, and that roar must have been the case just now.

If it was Peer who spat out during the fight, he wouldn’t have been able to escape so easily.

Since the color of the portal was changed in the first place, the fact that Kang Shin-hyeok died has no room for argument.

Wow!

I heard another roar, but this time I didn’t fall into panic like the first time, perhaps because I was preparing in advance.

The line art is also slightly staggered, but it looks fine because of the magic effect.

“Mr. Kang, where are you!”

Going crazy.

Ogre’s hearing is also quite developed, but Seonhwa went to the direction where the voice was heard and called Kang Shin-hyeok, so she quickly approached and grabbed him.

“what are you doing? If that bastard notices us, it’s over.”

“It won’t be. It can’t be.”

“Stop being silly.”

Kwaaang!

I had no choice but to faint and take her away, but I heard another roar and my body froze.

ruined.

It is said that the fact that the body is stiffened like this even though it is prepared is not a meaningless roar like the previous two times.

Immediately, Mana was sent to the whole body to get rid of paralysis, and even though she used magic, she approached Seonhwa, who had become immobile and hardened, and gave her a potion to relieve paralysis.

“He noticed we were there. There is no time. I’ll try something, so run away!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. How can you kill an ogre by yourself… .”

“I am an A-rank hunter. Without you, I can deal roughly and run away.”

I said it with a confident expression, but of course it was a lie.

There is no creature faster than an ogre in the forest.

It’s impossible to escape when he recognizes us.

“But… .”

“It’s really okay. Rather, if you are there, you will be a burden, so go quickly.”

Seonhwa hesitated for a moment, but left a message to be careful to see if my smoke worked and went back the way she came.

If Sunhwa hadn’t been stubborn, none of this would have happened… I’m honestly disappointed.

But if we don’t do this, we will both die.

Considering that Sabu and Seonhwa have been good to me, this is right.

Fortunately, he seems to be taking his time, as if he didn’t think we would lift the paralysis.

I don’t know how long I can hold out, but I thought I would hold out as long as possible to save even Sunhwa, and I hurried my steps in the direction from which the roar came.

Kwaaang!

It wasn’t long before I heard another roar, speeding up, and was startled by the sight that unfolded.

It wasn’t that the ogre was relaxing, it was that he couldn’t come.

Dozens or even hundreds of very small Aurora Blade fragments were scattered all over the ogre’s body.

The moment I thought it looked like a meteor shower in the night sky, the huge body collapsed and the sky turned yellow at the same time.

It is a signal to announce that the portal has been cleared.

“came? just wait Who is Sunhwa? I heard a voice earlier.”

I thought he was dead… .

what the hell is this guy

He catches the ogre, who is called the nightmare of the forest, and approaches him with an insignificant expression.

The previous attack was also very small, but if my eyes were not wrong, it was definitely an Aura Blade.

“I heard that leather is expensive, so I wanted to catch it without damage as much as possible, but I wonder if I can sell this… Mr. Lee Seol, why is that?”

“Yes? ah… No.”

“What’s wrong? It’s outside. Ah, inside the portal, that’s right.”

I was confused with many thoughts… I wake up.

I don’t know anything else, but I know for sure that this guy’s gag is the worst.

“How did you do it?”

“Yes? I just said whatever came to mind… Sorry. I thought Lee Seol was lost, so I joked… .”

“Other than that, how did you catch the ogre alone? And isn’t that the attack Aura Blade from earlier?”

“ah. I said it at the beginning. i will do it alone And AuraBlade is pretty much the same, but not perfect. Rather, this leather can’t be used, right? what a waste.”

This time, he answered lightly, looking at the ogre corpse and muttering to himself.

He has a smooth face, but his personality is completely arrogant, so I thought it was not good, but I was completely mistaken.

this man is so charming

I didn’t understand at first, but now I think I understand why Seonhwa was interested in this man.

“Lee Seol! Lee Seol-ah, where are you?”

It’s Sunhwa’s voice.

It seems that he came back after looking at the sky and confirming that the portal was cleared.

“This way!”

“How to clear… uh? Mr. Kang! Teacher Kang!”

At first, it seemed to come towards me, but when he saw Kang Shin-hyeok, he ran and hugged him.

I must have been happy to find Mr. Kang, whom I thought was dead, but I feel strange.

“energy… Mr. Kim, why are you suddenly like this?”

“I thought Mr. Kang was dead.”

“Yes? me? why? Since it’s frustrating, let’s solve this and talk about it. Mr. Lee Seol is also there.”

“Oh, sorry.”

Seonhwa falls from Mr. Kang and glances at me.

“No, of course I… .”

“I said I couldn’t.”

“Why are you doing this?”

Both of them looked at me, but I didn’t know what to say, so I lowered my head.

“sorry.”
