Swordsmith (2)

The sword of the Franz Empire. Swordsmith Reinhard von Baden.

He was the head of the Baden family, an old and prestigious military family in the empire, as well as the ruler of a huge duchy facing the Retin Republic, a great country to the east.

The territory of Baden boasted more wealth than any other territory in the empire, as it was full of bustling cities due to its proximity to the wealthy commercial powerhouse of the Retin Republic.

In the empire, what was more famous than such a blessed territory was the existence of the duke, swordsman Reinhardt, who ruled over the dukedom.

It has shattered numerous threats to the empire over the decades, including the invasion of the southern barbarians and the massive invasion of the western vandals, and the swordsmith itself was one of the strongest in the empire.

So, I didn’t move well for a few things.

The fact that the imperial family urgently requested support even from the swordsman was a testament to how serious the emperor’s anger was.

* * *

I never thought that I would face one of the strongest players on the continent before even fighting with Dean Amelia.

Of course, unless you plan to blow up the area, you’ll have to limit your power to a minimum.

It was like that in Moorim as well, but rain wasn’t originally like a matter of life and death, so I was used to that much.

“Your sword is unique.”

“It only takes the form of a sword, it is a lightning spirit.”

“Ohh… I’ve lived a long time, but this is the first time I’ve seen the lightning spirit again. How much more so in that form.”

The swordsman admired the black thunder, but I was equally concerned about the sword of the swordsman.

A silver sword with elaborate patterns and unknown characters throughout.

It was clear that the words written on the sword were shining softly, and it was not a normal sword.

“Can you see it?”

As I couldn’t take my eyes off the sword, the swordsman asked first.

“I can see that there is quite a bit of energy inside the sword.”

“It also feels good. Legend has it that this black sword was made from the breath of a dragon, and it is a family heirloom. It looks great, but in reality it’s just a strong sword, so don’t worry about it.”

“Isn’t the strength of the sword the greatest strength?”

“That is correct.”

As they were talking, they were raising their spirits, and there was a clear contrast between the silver sword covered in brilliant white steel and the black lightning covered in jet-black steel.

As if it had been stimulated by the hum of the swordsmith from earlier, the black lightning was emitting more intense brain energy than usual.

Neither had anything to do with conceding a player.

No one sent a signal, but I heard the sound of firearms exploding, and the swordsman and I stepped on footsteps at almost the same time and pulled out the sword.

The sword of the swordsman itself had a shape close to that of a light one-handed straight sword, but in general, it was a sword method closer to a heavy sword rather than a change sword or illusion sword that suited that shape.

According to what I’ve seen so far, it may be because this world itself is rich in energy, but it seems that swordsmanship centered on heavy swords and strong swords based on powerful energy is the trend.

Boom!

strong and strong. As swords collided with swords, a roaring sound resounded in all directions, as if the air was exploding.

Remnants of white and black streaks of light filled the heavens and the earth.

Waves of enormous air power scattered each other’s sleeves, and typified black and white air rose like a haze, and dozens of battles that were invisible to the naked eye went back and forth between each corner.

Although the unfamiliar swordsmanship developed in a different way from Murim’s swordsmanship was unfamiliar, the swordsmith’s sword gradually began to be seen clearly in the extremely minute time that split the moment into an instant.

At this point, the swordsmith’s swordsmanship was understood to some extent.

The battle of masters started with dominating each other’s territory.

Even the superhumans who dealt with sword steel, which was equivalent to bringing starlight to the ground, couldn’t get away from such basics in the end.

The swordsmith also constantly tried to seize the domain of my sword with elegant movements, but the black thunder was only a sword in shape, not a simple sword in the first place.

Every time the swords collided, the lightning that contained a mighty career that bounced in all directions only brought about the result of encroaching on one’s territory.

As the swordsmith’s quarantine was gradually covered with black lightning, it was felt that the air that had boiled over from the collision had become calm.

I didn’t say it, but I realized it intuitively.

The swordsman was thinking of ending everything with the next move.

If that’s the case, then I don’t dodge and face it as it is.

The energy that had spread in all directions was gathered into one place.

What I draw in my mind is a sword I once saw on a cold winter day.

Build a new sword of your own based on it.

The black lightning, which had sparked loudly, also sank quietly like an abyss.

The enormous energy condensed into one line began to sway as if distorting even the space.

Black and white, strong against strong.

The distance of about three chapters, which is no different from the front of the nose in the state of the extreme end or the state of hwagyeong.

The moment when neither side tried to release the enormous momentum they had gathered without backing down.

“Both of you, please stop immediately. This is near the dormitory where students live.”

Amelia Dean, who appeared through space movement, interrupted the gap between me and the swordsmith and said firmly.

…I made a mistake.

I was so excited about the proper dance for the first time in a long time that I forgot where this place was for a moment.

I can’t believe I couldn’t control my energy properly while dancing.

This was obviously my mistake.

“sorry.”

He quickly relieved the intense energy contained in the black lightning and apologized.

If the energy collected by both sides had been released as it was, there was a high possibility that not only the great parade but also many of the surrounding areas would have been blown away.

It must have reached the vicinity of the dormitory where the students are resting, and if it did, it wouldn’t have ended with a simple punishment.

Besides, there is a possibility that one of them may have suffered serious injuries.

At that point, it’s no longer raining or anything.

“No, no face.”

The swordsman seemed to have finally come to his senses and apologized to Dean Amelia with an embarrassed expression.

“Eh, it’s all because you’re a monster.”

Then he stared at me and handed over the responsibility.

“Why are you leaving that to me?”

“Where is this guy talking back to me? Have you already forgotten who I am?”

“Aren’t you the great swordsman of the empire? I trust that His Highness the Swordsman won’t mind such trivial things.”

“I don’t know where on earth this guy came from. I don’t even resemble my father at all. Rumors abounded that he was an idiot, but what about an idiot?”

“Still, I’m glad Dean Amelia intervened at the right time. If we had dealt the final blow to each other…”

“If they clashed all the way, who do you think would have won?”

There was a deep interest similar to the first time in the eyes of the swordsman looking at me as he asked me about victory or defeat out of the blue.

“If I went all the way, of course I won.”

It wasn’t just an outburst of confidence, but looking at it objectively, my superiority was clear.

Geomgong’s sword was great, of course, but the power of Geomgang, which was spread out with black lightning combined with the spirit of lightning and the Heavenly Demon Spirit, was far beyond the power of an ordinary sword.

Even considering the power of will, I didn’t think I would lose.

My ability to deal with thoughts was to the extent that even my master, who was competing to be the best of all time, admired it.

“A really cheeky bastard. So, the sword I tried last. What was your name?”

The swordsman also asked me if he felt the danger of the attack I was about to attempt at the end.

“To my shame, it’s an unfinished sword, so it doesn’t have a specific name…”

I learned a lot of swordsmanship, including the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Demonic Church, but my current state was the process of forgetting all the herbivores I had learned and reestablishing them.

Bondi didn’t have a specific name for this sword.

“Dancheon.”

Hearing the words of the swordsman and pondering, he spat out the words that came to his mind.

“Truck. A sword that cuts through the sky It’s a mad name that suits you perfectly.”

“Have you two known each other before?”

While listening to the conversation between me and the swordsman, Dean Amelia asked with a doubtful expression.

“I am meeting you for the first time today.”

“I am also the first. Where would you have seen this guy?”

“Anything like that seemed like a good grandson, but… no. I would like both of you to refrain from sparring within the school in the future. If you really need it, I’ll arrange a place for you…”

“All right.”

“Okay.”

I didn’t have anything to say about today, so I just quickly agreed.

It seemed to be the same for the swordsman.

“And Prince Carl will contact you later in the afternoon regarding the case, so please wait.”

“yes.”

* * *

It is the time when the fog that had been thick all night gradually disappears and the pure white sunlight of the morning shines brightly.

“How did His Highness the Swordsman look?”

After Carol went back to Helios Hall, Dean Amelia asked while walking near the lake in the school with Reinhardt the Swordsman.

“Clap. I’ve seen a lot of people in my life, but I never thought that there would be a guy like that.”

“As expected, His Highness the Swordsman seemed to see it similarly. I couldn’t believe it when I first saw it at the entrance ceremony.”

“It was a level that made no sense compared to his age, but his eyes were decisively different. I don’t usually notice it, but when I pulled out the sword, the look in my eyes completely changed.”

“You mean snow?”

Dean Amelia narrowed her brows and asked.

“Yes, looking at them as they crossed swords, they had eyes that a child of that age could never have. I don’t know what he’s been through, but… It was a look that only those who have crossed the line countless times can have.”

“I was also suspicious and investigated separately, but nothing unusual was found. On the contrary, his actions before coming to the academy were, as rumored, ruinous.”

“I deliberately hid my power and pretended to be an idiot. Or, in an instant, he attained enlightenment and awakened. Neither way is very convincing. Common sense makes no sense.”

The swordsman stroked his chin and pondered.

“It seems that His Highness the Swordsman wasn’t easy either.”

“It’s not easy… Didn’t you hear what that kid said? If I went to the end, it would have been my ultimate defeat.”

“yes…? No matter how much it was, there was no way that His Highness the Sword Master would be defeated. There is a difference in age.”

“I’m dumbfounded too, but it’s an obvious fact. That last sword, even thinking about it now, I can’t think of a way to properly stop it. I was preparing to use my family’s secret technique, but if I actually bumped into it, it would have ended in my defeat.”

The swordsman shook his head in dismay.

“It is absurd. In fact, Prince Charles has applied for sparring with me as well. For now, Dalian has been postponed until the evaluation, but…”

“Heh heh… A sword ghost, no, a ghost of nothingness itself. I’ll give you my advice. If that child’s sword shimmers like an abyss, don’t think about stopping it and avoid it unconditionally. I don’t know where you learned that, but you’re going to get in big trouble if you try to block or counter it.”

“…Thanks for the advice. I will keep that in mind.”

“It’s about time…”

The swordsman muttered as he looked across the lake as wide as the sea with sunken eyes.

“Soon, Her Highness Princess Riena will also come down.”

From noble mtl dot com

Just as Dean Amelia had predicted in the morning, in the afternoon, Dean Johana’s secretary came to visit.

“hello! Prince Charles, Secretary Yohana.”

After I waited for a while with Yohana under the Helios Pavilion, Princess Riena came down with a clean appearance and greeted me brightly.

I thought I would still be a little tired from the shocking incident and fatigue, but it seems that I recovered faster than I thought.

“Are you feeling better?”

“yes. It’s not in perfect condition… but it’s okay. After all, I only received help, but I have to get over it quickly.”

“You are great. At Her Highness’s age, even that is great enough.”

“Are we the same age? If that’s the case, then what is Prince Carol like…”

“This is the teacher’s words, so don’t vomit and just accept them.”

“Yes, Master.”

“What’s between the two of you…?”

Yohana, who was listening to the conversation between me and Princess Riena, put on a dumbfounded expression.

“It’s just a matter of teaching and learning martial arts. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“that’s right. Just my martial arts master.”

“Hmm… I see. I will escort you to the dean’s office.”
