11 – Sudden Dalian (2)

“Sillin? Aren’t you a talented person on a different level from other first-year students?”

“Didn’t you just watch it in Dalian? I don’t think that guy will get hurt by sparring with me.”

“Well, that’s not wrong, but… ….”

“I understand that you gave permission.”

Silin lowered her head and strode toward Eugene.

She couldn’t even talk to her after drawing the line coldly, but the case was different now.

It was a sparring organized by the teacher during the class, and there was even a situation called a group formed together.

No matter how she drew the line, there was no way that her behavior of talking to her in a public setting such as a class felt strange.

‘Besides, that sword.’

She hadn’t been wielded twenty times in all five fights, but as a swordsman who was determined to dedicate her life to the sword, she couldn’t get over it without striking it.

“Eugene, since we are in the same group, it wouldn’t be strange to fight. How is it?”

“Let’s stick together?”

“Yes.”

“It’s scary…… I won’t.”

“What?”

You said that with a face that didn’t look scary at all!

Silin bit her lip.

This was seen as retaliation for her refusal to confess.

‘I know you’re the only guy like that!’

Still, I’m seriously curious about your swordsmanship!

I didn’t expect Eugene to refuse like this, Silin was speechless.

She looks like a frosted chick if you just look at her appearance with her background erased.

‘It’s really scary.’

Eugene was genuinely scared and just refused.

‘I don’t think I’ll be pushed back in swordsmanship.’

Only for swordsmanship.

If you consider the other factors together, it was not easy to outperform Silin.

She was born into a prestigious swordsmanship family, and she learned swords all her life, and thanks to her excellent background, her magical powers were among the best in her age.

She could be slightly ahead in her swordsmanship if she sparred with her, but it was difficult to achieve her victory due to her overwhelming magic power difference. She was a draw at best.

‘It’s not too much yet.’

Silin needed more time to convince her of victory. Maybe if she only has a lot of magic power and is inexperienced in her swordsmanship.

Because she was also, first of all, a genius in swordsmanship.

“Are you doing this because of something that happened before?”

Silin, unaware of the circumstances, only stiffened her face.

“If you’re turning it down because of that, it really isn’t worth talking to again.”

Silen turned her body around and walked away.

Her gait was cold and merciless.

However, because of her short stature, she looked a bit desolate in Eugene’s eyes.

“If you agree to one condition, I will give you a sparring.”

Silin’s footsteps stopped.

‘Conditions?’

If someone else had said it, she would have asked without much thought, but since it was from Eugene, I felt negative.

‘Are you going to use her sparring as an excuse to go out with her again?’

If that’s the case, she’ll throw her sword right away, not caring about sparring.

“What are the conditions?”

“Just be gentle.”

“What?”

“Please take care not to get hurt.”

Silin’s face changed strangely. She

I thought she was trying to put an odd condition, but she was just asking to be seen.

“…… If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter.”

I was ashamed of myself for making too many assumptions.

“Then raise the sword.”

“Huh?”

Silin, preoccupied with other thoughts, raised her wooden sword without much thought.

That moment.

Taaah!

“Huh…… !”

Yujin, who flew in from the advance, swung her sword. It was a shame because my body, which had been training all my life, reacted.

‘What power…… Like this…… !’

I could only feel a little of the magical power it carried. However, the angle of the sword pushing down prevented it from exerting even a tenth of Silin’s power.

‘Kuh…… !’

Shilin gritted his teeth and drew his mana from Danjeon. The mana that burst out like a wave in an instant blew power into the sword.

Whoop

The sword that Silin swung cut through the air. The situation where Eugene pulled out the sword before he knew it.

‘The movements you couldn’t even see when sparring with Tina…… !’

I was taken aback by Eugene’s sudden rush.

But Eugene had no choice.

‘Because he’s someone I have to be sincere with.’

Eugene now had to do everything he could to Silin.

As if he wouldn’t give Silin a chance to rest, he spurred her from her place and flew in and swung her quicksword.

‘What is the path of the sword… ….’

Silin blocked the sword and tried to counterattack, but the paths the sword flew in all blocked the counterattack.

I had to focus on defense to barely block it. If you force yourself to counterattack, you will be stabbed first in your own vital points.

‘Don’t lose the initiative!’

Silin opened the dantian. Magical power greater than before enveloped his entire body, and sword energy bloomed from his wooden sword.

“Geomgi!”

Tina’s surprise can be heard for a while.

Silin, the only one who can exude sword energy at the first year level, swung a wooden sword that had bloomed sword energy to shake off Eugene. And she started to go on the offensive from her own side.

‘If it goes like this…… Can win!’

Suddenly, Eugene was in a hurry to block the attack.

“As expected, Silin has no choice but to take the lead!”

The level where Tina, watching her sparring, is convinced of Silin’s dominance.

In reality, Silin was attacking and Eugene was defending.

“But why… ….”

Can’t decide?

Strangely, there was no match. Eugene seemed to drop his sword and lose at any moment, but Silin blocked the path of the sword he wielded without missing a single one.

‘Why doesn’t it collapse!’

Silin, who poured out more than half of her mana, bit her lips.

I thought I would collapse at any moment, but I didn’t. When I swung my sword because I wanted to see an opening, the sword that came to me as if I knew it in advance blocked the attack.

I hated the wooden sword, which was loaded with magic enough to block attacks.

At this rate, they would pour out all their mana and end up in a draw.

‘A draw?’

I was born and raised in the duke of Luberta, the best swordsman in the continent, and I have Draine von Bennett, the greatest swordsmanship hero in the continent, as my teacher and father?

A draw with the eldest son of a fallen baron, who has been living without a sword for half a year, following only his back, and only a week has passed since he picked up the sword again?

‘Nonsense!’

Fire rose from Shilin’s pupils.

A draw?

Even if he won overwhelmingly, it was natural, and even if he won now, he would barely break even.

There was no way I could tolerate a draw.

I even forgot the fact that it was sparring that shouldn’t cause injuries.

Her Danjeon was completely open. She jumped over the waves and carried magic power like a tidal wave into her sword.

In sparring, where injury is prohibited, attacking an opponent with less magical power with this much magical power is an act that should not be done in itself. Silin, however, had no time left to think of such things.

“aaa!”

A sword imbued with enormous magical power came down on Eugene.

Taaagh!

At that moment, another wooden sword appeared and blocked Silin’s sword.

“Silin, you are so excited. Dalian is forced to stop here. Reap the sword!”

Fritz appeared before she knew it and blocked her way with a determined face.

At that moment, Silin, regaining her senses and realizing her mistakes, shook her head.

“…… Sorry.”

Her lips were bitten tight.

But Fritz was adamant.

“It is only right to apologize to opponents in sparring!”

He was right.

The slash I had just lost my temper was not something that could be stopped at the level of a first year student.

If Fritz hadn’t come and blocked her attack, Eugene would have been seriously injured.

Silin slowly raised her head, and she opened her mouth as she saw Eugene who had her sword closed before she knew it.

“…… Sorry.”

“I’m not hurt, so that’s fine.”

Eugene shook her hand and said it was okay, then turned around and walked away.

‘What… ….’

Really…… Has it changed…… ?

If Silin had known Eugene, she would have sat there and cried, or she would have made her strange demands as compensation, asking how could she do that to herself.

But he just covered up the situation Silin made her mistake and left.

The negative energy in her eyes as she looked at Eugene’s back disappeared very, very little.

“I almost missed you. Ugh.”

Eugene, who stretched out in a place where no one was looking, was relieved that she was alive.

“What kind of magical power is a woman of the same age as me?”

Is this a duke family spoon?

She sparing her mana very slowly while sparring, but even so, she was far from enough to deal with Silin.

“The difference is too great.”

As her magical power grows older and Danjeon grows, the amount she can hold increases exponentially.

In other words, Shilin, who was still very young, couldn’t convert most of the magical energy in her body, which she had accumulated with all kinds of arcane elixirs and her family’s secrets, into the magic of Dantian.

The amount of magic she possesses now, compared to her a few years later, must be so small that her level is different.

“Still, there is such a difference between me and me… ….”

I felt anew how low her clay spoon’s magnetic magic was, and how high her golden spoon’s magical power was.

‘Magic power should be built from an early age.’

If only he had the strength to roam the world, he had no choice but to wander around and find elixirs and spiritual tablets that were effective in increasing magical power.

“The thing to do is Taesan, it’s Taesan.”

Yujin, who used up all of her mana in her sparring just before her, closed her eyes.

After School, Swordsmanship Training Center

Hooung! Whoo!

Silin’s whole body was wet with sweat, and her uniform was sticking to her.

But she didn’t pay her attention to the discomfort.

‘Recently, my realm has been too stagnant.’

Mashed lips, two arms that trembled but did not stop.

She realized a fact she had denied in Dalian today.

Her latest self-level is not easy to climb. She was a 16-year-old swordsman who grew up day by day in this world, and she was satisfied with the level of her sword that was rising every day.

However, since about a week ago, my awareness has been strangely stagnant.

She herself was a genius. From an early age, she had a natural talent for her sword, and no swordsman of her age could match her.

Shouldn’t she be so shocked that she took first place in the swordsmanship section of the Royal School Entrance Examination?

She was clearly growing ahead of others, and her growth accelerated even more after she entered the Royal School.

‘The problem is that the speed has slowed down!’

The feeling of becoming one with the sword, which I felt every time I swung the sword, did not come through.

The natural realization that I gained during training did not arise.

It was as if my head was hardened.

‘If only my level was a little higher in Dalian today!’

I wouldn’t have lost my temper and made such a stupid attack.

‘Why are you doing this these days?’

Unable to figure out what caused her, she just bit her lip and swung her sword nonstop.

However, the human body has limits.

“Ugh… ….”

The sword fell from her grasp and rolled across her floor.

She stretched out her hand to grab the sword, but her trembling hand didn’t listen.

Any further training would only strain her body.

“Why the hell… ….”

As she sat on her floor, she tried to understand the misfortune that had befallen her.

No matter how much I struggled, the answer didn’t come out.
