The Genius at the Swordsmanship Academy

Pass

103 Tue 3rd Test (2)

There is no one in the Iron Blood Cave.

There are only golems and all kinds of traps.

I kept moving forward, breaking through them.

Moving forward like that, I was hungry… Sit in a suitable place and rest.

‘It definitely feels different from before.’

I checked the condition of my body while eating portable food.

Although he had destroyed numerous hard golems, his wrists and shoulders were still intact.

‘As I became a senior in Graduate, I went through a metamorphosis, but that’s not the only thing.’

Recently, I have become more proficient at using magic.

By properly distributing magic power to support the whole body, there is no strain on the muscles or joints.

‘Even if you use the same magical power, you can raise your strength or agility much more efficiently.’

It was thanks to the fact that he learned a lot from his head-to-head confrontation with Mikhail.

Again, it seemed that the more you fight a strong enemy, the greater your growth will be.

‘However… It still won’t reach the peak level.’

In the meantime, I’ve been fighting climax grades like Arteklas and Mikhail.

But I didn’t defeat them alone.

‘It was difficult to defeat Mikhail without the help of Yols.’

I had a chance, too, because Yoles continued to pinpoint and open up gaps for Mikhail.

Clearly, the spear sword is a weapon that can defeat even a stronger person like Mikhail.

However, since there is a difference in basic competency, it is not easy to lead them to a situation where they can decide the match with the chandelier.

‘Combining multiple swordsmanship to outwit the opponent… There is a way to do that.’

In the end, I have to become stronger myself.

Rather than being satisfied with the current level, you should aim for the next level.

‘I have to reach the peak of myself.’

Graduate supreme.

The state of the ‘best’ known at the moment.

If you reach that level, you will be able to win even if you fight head-to-head with other powerful players.

‘the problem is… Reaching the peak is not easy.’

Graduate Beginner, Low, Intermediate, Advanced… I have been growing up smoothly so far.

However, reaching the climax is completely different from what it has been until now.

‘In order to reach the climax, we have to realize the unity of the new swordsman (身劍合一).’

It literally means that the body and the sword become one.

It is only when this level is reached that it can be said that it is at its peak.

‘A lot of things change when you realize the new Geomhapil.’

Let’s take the example of swordsmanship.

Graduate must go through a complicated process when unleashing swordsmanship.

After sending magic power to the palm of your hand and releasing it through your skin, you have to carefully control it to cover the blade to become a sword.

However, when the new inspection date is reached, it is quite different.

It is as if the blood vessels of my body extend to the blade, and I can naturally create swords as if I am strengthening my body with magical power.

It is possible to maximize the efficiency of the sword.

‘and… You will be able to control the sword even when you are away from your body.’

Even a sword that is far away can be treated like my own body.

Magical power connects the body and the sword, so you can move the sword without touching it.

Even the swordsmanship that Yoles showed in the past will become possible.

‘In order to reach this level of unity of the new swordsman, it is not enough just to increase the magic power.’

In the meantime, I’ve grown up to reflect on the realization depicted in the novel… This alone is not enough to learn the new swordsmanship.

This is because, in the novel, it was described that ‘some kind of opportunity’ could be given to reach the new Geomunity Day.

So, at this point, you have no choice but to prepare for the moment when you are given the opportunity by accumulating magical power and practicing.

‘Yeah, so… Even here, I have to get what I can get as much as I can.’

Thinking like that, I got up again.

According to my expectations, we will be able to break through the Iron Blood Cave within the next half a day.

‘It’s been about a day since Ernas entered.’

Outside the Iron Blood ward, Yoles looked up at the night sky.

He wanted to wait for Ernas to come out, but he couldn’t keep guarding this place.

“Professor Yols, you are still there.”

“Professor Coliana.”

The female professor who arrived at the rocky island bowed her head to Yols.

She was a professor in the Ferdinand class, and like most ordinary professors, she was a senior grader.

“From now on, I will take over. Professor, please come in.”

“All right.”

Originally, this test was supposed to be supervised by Coliana from the beginning.

Yols, who wanted to encourage Ernas before the start of the 3rd exam, only briefly replaced the role.

“Please take good care of Ernas.”

“Professor Yols seems to be very fond of Ernas.”

“… … ?”

As if there was a little thorn in his voice, Yoles looked at Coliana’s face.

“What do you mean… … .”

“I don’t think you’re being too biased. I think you gave up the ball to Ernas in the fight against Mikhail Waldfeld.”

“Professor Coliana.”

It was something that couldn’t be passed on, Yoles said in a clear voice.

“I never did. Ernas killed Mikhail himself.”

“How can a student defeat the head of the House of Waldfeld? That is nonsense.”

“There are many eyewitnesses. You must not say that.”

“Ernas-sama must have conceded to Ernas after putting Mikhail Waldfeld into a corner.”

“It’s ridiculous. Rather, Ernas helped me when I was in a predicament.”

“I do not know.”

“… … .”

It was then that Yoles remembered one thing.

Coliana is closely related to the Shreière family in the south.

That’s why he often favored Berrys Rize Schreier.

‘I must have had a crush on Ernas from a long time ago.’

The sentiment is understandable, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t distort reality in this way.

However, because Yoles has always kept a distance from such political battles… I didn’t even bother to point it out.

“By the way, Professor Yoles.”

Whether or not she knew Yols’ heart, Coliana spoke again.

“Hey Ernas, do you think you will get through the Iron Blood Cave well?”

“Yeah… Of course it will pass.”

“Hmm, you think so.”

“… … ?”

For some reason, Yoles looked at Coliana’s face.

“I will keep my eyes open and see if Ernas can pass the 3rd test well.”

Looking into the dark iron-blooded cave, Coliana was smiling faintly.

‘Something is strange.’

I stopped walking in the Cheolhyeol-dong.

It was because he felt an unusual aura from the front.

‘Now we’re almost at the exit. There would have been only one golem left.’

After thinking for a while, I used Attilion’s magic detection technique.

Then the reaction appeared immediately.

‘I think the golem is right… what?’

I wanted to take a closer look.

He continued to blow away the weak magic power and analyzed it in detail.

‘Let’s be quiet, this is… … .’

It wasn’t even a battle situation, so I took the time to examine it carefully.

Read at readwn.com

Meanwhile… A message popped up at an unexpected time.

[The understanding of Attilion’s Magical Inspection (Rank A) has reached a certain level.]

[Permanent binding proceeds along with the growth of Attilion’s Magical Detecting Skill (Rank A).]

[Permanent binding of Attilion’s magic detection technique (S rank) has been completed.]

immediately after that.

The vaguely felt reaction suddenly began to become clear.

In the meantime, I could only know where a certain amount of magical power was.

But now… I was able to grasp how that magic was developed and even its clear form.

‘This is where Attilion’s magic detection technique grows… … .’

In the meantime, he has continued to use Attilion’s magic detection technique, but his rank has hardly risen.

I wondered if it was still lacking in proficiency, but was it necessary to spend time and calmly look at it?

‘Well, Attilion’s magic detection technique is not a technique that requires increasing power or speed… It will not evolve in a dramatic situation like swordsmanship.’

With that in mind, I checked my current abilities with Uslecht.

[Currently, the abilities acquired through ‘Ability Reproduction’ are as follows.]

— Provisional Acquisition —

[Waldfeld Golden Swordsmanship (SS Rank)]

[Ionia Rapid Swordsmanship (S Rank)]

[Liechtenauer Divine Magic (Rank A)]

[Black Heaven Magic Technique (SS Rank)]

[—]

— Permanent Attribution —

[Calecius Spear Swordsmanship (Rank A)]

[Atilion Magical Detecting (S Rank)]

[Eastern Magic Magic Technique (Rank A)]

Attilion’s magic detection technique became S rank and passed to permanent binding, and it was confirmed that there was a blank space in the slot.

‘It was difficult to acquire new abilities because they were all essential… I can barely afford it.’

However, for now, the priority is to analyze the golem blocking the exit.

I analyzed the state of the golem while stretching my magic.

‘The amount of magical power itself is the same as other golems. By the way… … .’

Upon closer inspection, I found out.

The golem was in a state of spreading magic power on its surface like a self-defense device.

That too… very enormous power.

‘It’s much thicker than Mikhail Waldfeld’s self-defense.’

Originally, golems possess so much magical power that they could not even be compared with humans.

This is because the ancients filled them with magical powers so that they could operate for thousands of years.

‘The fact that such a large amount of magical power was deployed… It means that almost all of the magical energy stored in the heart has been released.’

If you use a large amount of magic like that, the golem’s magic will be depleted in an instant.

For this reason, golems usually operate with minimal magical power.

Unless there is a really dangerous emergency.

‘Now the golem is in full power mode. It can’t happen without a reason.’

I tried to figure out what happened as I reflected on the novel’s setting.

The conclusion was quickly drawn.

‘Who wrote the hand?’

There are people who have already manipulated the golem so that it is waiting in full power mode.

It will be a professor with a lot of relevant knowledge.

‘There is no way Yols is an outsider in this area… … .’

The Golem is set to be managed by the Ferdinand Class, an archaeologist.

Read at readwn.com

Maybe it’s a Ferdinand Class official.

‘The professor who supervised the exam today is suspicious, but you don’t know who it is… … .’

You’ll have to go out and see for yourself.

Anyway, you have to break through the golem in front of you.

‘If you were wearing that much magical power, your agility as well as your defense would have increased.’

It will be difficult to break through with the new magic.

You have to break through in a head-to-head match, but your defense will be improved, so a normal attack won’t work.

‘I can’t help it.’

I took a deep breath.

Holding the sword in his right hand, he slowly circulated the magic within his body.

‘I have no choice but to try it here.’

The power I practiced against the golems this time in the Iron Blood Cave.

It’s time to seriously try it.

“… … .”

I walked slowly with my mouth shut.

Eventually, he encountered a huge stone statue shining bluish in the dark.

“Woo woo… … .”

He didn’t even get too close, but the golem started moving with a start sound.

Its whole body was being protected with enormous magical power.

‘I can’t break through with a spear sword.’

Since it is a technique born from Callesius Spear Swordsmanship, Spear Sword Gang is a sword that penetrates the opponent’s gaps as quickly as lightning strikes.

However, there is no need for such a sword against golems.

Even if the agility has improved, it is not because they attack as quickly as they do while spreading their skills like humans.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s slower than Lightning Sword Kang. It’s okay not to sharply dig into the enemy’s gaps.’

At the sword in his right hand, he breathed in the magic that had been circulating in his body.

The high-grade magic of the Graduites wrapped around the blade, and it began to form a golden sword.

‘Like the sword of the Waldfeld sword used by Mikhail, sturdy and heavy.’

Golden black smoke condensed on the blade.

The density was maximized while continuously injecting magical power.

Then the blade… It was in a state of being thickly coated with golden energy.

It lacked sharpness of the edges compared to Changreegumgang, but it looked much denser and harder.

‘The combination of the golden sword of the Waldfeld family and the spear sword that I made… … .’

Boom, boom!

The golem approached me.

As if to crush me with that huge mass.

I stared at the golem and slowly raised my sword.

To unleash a subversive sword sword that can destroy everything.

‘Pacheon Sword River (破天劍剛).’

As the golem rushed towards me, a golden sword exploded.
