27. Maybe?

27. If?

Yooseong lightly shook his head as he answered.

“No, nice to meet you. But pretending is not pretending. There are traces of great effort and training in the aura of the instructor. It is impossible for such an instructor to be a competent person. As soon as I recognized the instructor standing in front of me, I felt respect.”

“… ….”

Kasha felt that her slightly upset mood was instantly relieved.

‘As expected, he knows a little something.’

Effort is a virtue of a prosecutor, not something to be proud of.

It’s just something that everyone takes for granted.

No one shows off by saying, ‘I’ve been working hard to get to this point!’

If you do, you will be ridiculed.

However, it is human nature to want to be recognized for your efforts.

She thought about wanting to lie down and rest several times even for a minute, but she held her sword firmly and swung it for dozens, hundreds, thousands of nights.

Proper effort is truly bone-breaking penance.

Who in the world would feel bad about being recognized for overcoming such hardships and building up her skills?

To the swordsman she thought of as a talented person.

The words came from the mouth of a stranger who seemed to have no prejudice, no, but rather belonged to the side of prejudice, so I trusted them all the more.

But that’s it and this is this.

Hearing the compliment didn’t make her mind go away to point it out.

“Just because you paint an instructor’s face with gold doesn’t stop him from saying what he has to say. Meteor cadet. Why didn’t she join the practice? It is said that self-training is allowed, but I have never seen meteor cadets train separately.”

That was natural.

I only swung my sword inside the dormitory room.

Even if Yooseong decided that he was not training at all, there was nothing he could do about it.

Why are you practicing only in the room, leaving the training room in good shape?

Yooseong rolled his head about how to answer.

Here, ‘what are you going to do? Isn’t it a place where even class participation is voluntary? Even if you don’t practice, it’ll be enough if you prove it with your skills’, Kasya has nothing to say.

Actually, that’s because the school rules are like that.

Not forcing the schedules of the cadets has been a keynote since Helios was first established, and the intention was that if you force someone who won’t do it anyway, it won’t be effective.

If it was going to be forced to roll in the first place, I wouldn’t have created a system that divides classes like this and blatantly treats them differently.

Instead, punishment follows for baseless indolence, and now, in the case of class D without a back, anyone who falls below a certain level above the average of other cadets can be expelled at the instructor meeting.

Usually, students who work really hard but lack skills are given a chance.

It wasn’t like they were going to recruit people again just because they were expelled.

But cadets who have a bad attitude in their daily life will be kicked out of the cadets if they remain, considering it a hindrance to the other cadets.

For example, trying to look good to the instructor can also be a kind of grade.

Of course, Yooseong will not be expelled due to lack of grades, but it is not good if the image of him as a guy who only trusts his skills and runs around is hardened.

So Yooseong thought of an excuse.

“Can I make an excuse?”

“For you to openly use the word excuse in front of the instructor. Good guts. Let’s hear it sometime.”

“Kuhm.”

Yuseong cleared his throat once and continued.

“It is embarrassing to show condescension in a position like this, but I am also putting in a lot of effort to maintain my competence. In particular, the swordsmanship I have been taught places as much importance on maintaining composure of mind as on sword training.”

Meteor speaks slowly so that Kasha has a corner for her.

Curious as it is, she asked.

“Peace of mind is important. It wasn’t a normal swordsman either. Is it a type of swordsmanship that only exists in the East?”

“Among the secret arts of the East that the people of the empire consider mysterious, it is a very rare one that can be said to have been hidden very deeply. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am the only one left to teach since it is a swordsmanship that is only allowed for the blind.”

Curiosity lingered in Kasha’s indifferent gaze.

Standard swordsmen who trained mainly on standardized imperial swordsmanship cannot use any esoteric techniques from the East that have no fixed shape, are unique, and stand out.

It’s not something you’ll actually learn, but there’s a way to fight like that.

There was a possibility that it could be a nutrient for gaining enlightenment.

The stronger the passion for the sword, the more so.

Kasha had a passion for the sword as strong as Rike.

Even though Yooseong didn’t say much, she fell in love with ‘the only swordsmanship in the world that only a blind person can learn’.

However, Yuseong did not release any more information.

As if she had explained everything she needed, she began to lay out the reasons why she didn’t come to practice.

“Anyway, I have to meditate for peace of mind…… The quieter the environment, the better you can concentrate. It’s even better if you’re in touch with nature. Even if the surroundings are noisy, it’s possible if you manage your inner self well, but it was a bit like sitting alone with everyone sweating while practicing. That’s what interferes with the training of other cadets.”

“… ….”

“Isn’t it? Instructor.”

“Ah. Surely. I guess so.”

“If it is my fault, it would be that I did not explain this to the instructor beforehand on the first day and ask for his understanding.”

“Yes… That’s wrong….”

“Can I ask for your understanding from now on?”

“Ah, I want you to be careful next time.”

“Thank you for your understanding. I will be very careful in the future.”

That’s how the conversation came to an end.

But Kasha didn’t want the conversation to end like this.

“By the way… ….”

A little more about the mysterious swordsmanship that can cut enemies without hurting them.

The words went all the way down Kasha’s throat, but she couldn’t get out.

“Do you have anything in particular to do with me?”

“… No. Please train hard in the future.”

Looking at Kasha’s back as she turned around, she only laughed inwardly.

She doesn’t have a lot of weight in her story itself, but because she often encounters players, illustrations are implemented and there is also a story guide.

Yooseong knew that her greatest interest was the sword.

That’s right, I’ve played this game for 2,300 hours.

Yooseong’s confidence to lick her mouth while doing concept vaginas was nothing more than coming from this kind of information.

‘I feel like I’m involved in something… ….’

Did she feel the meteor’s sinister gaze penetrate her sunglasses and get stuck in the back of her head?

Kasha felt somehow tricked.

‘Am I baked or boiled?’

The truth is in the labyrinth.

Feeling embarrassed for not being able to satisfy her curiosity, she looked around her and said.

“In the mid-term evaluation shortly thereafter, there is a part to evaluate teamwork by forming a duo. Today, we’re going to practice that in the virtual realm. Yuseong cadet, of course you will participate, right?”

There were thorns in Kasha’s tone when she dared to point out the meteor.

Yooseong smiled and replied.

“Of course.”

“Now start teaming up with whoever you want. There are 30 of us, so there won’t be any left.”

That’s how the pairing began.

“Ah.”

Anise, who had been absentmindedly listening to the conversation between Kasha and Yuseong, suddenly came to her senses.

The only person she thought of as friendly here was Yuseong.

A group of aristocrats suggested that even if they were from a baron, even if they were lesser nobles from the outskirts, they would go together, but Anis refused.

She is a person with little sense of authority, so she has been friends with commoners in the territory.

In the same class as D, those who brag about being nobles and are full of complaints cannot help but look pitiful.

Even though she was like that, she wasn’t friendly with commoners either.

In Class D, where commoners are among commoners and nobles are among nobles, she is a being floating in the middle.

So, if there is a person who wants to form a duo, it is as if it has been decided by Meteor.

‘If I don’t go quickly, I might lose the old man.’

With that thought in mind, she hurriedly moved her steps towards the meteor…….

“Yoosung! Is there anyone you have considered as a partner? If you don’t have anything in particular, maybe with me…….”

“I don’t know anything else, but I’m good at keeping one thing! When there is a threat, I will throw my body to protect it!”

“There’s nothing wrong with teaming up with me!”

“Well, I won’t disturb you. I’m confident in remote support… !”

Yuseong was already surrounded by her other cadets.

She has the courage to apply for a duo with Yooseong, regardless of gender, even a quiet cadet who usually doesn’t say a word.

“Ah… ….”

As soon as she saw that, she sighed for some reason.

Yeah, that’s right.

We met by chance in a carriage, and through that, we became close, but we can’t say we’re special.

It’s just that she felt particularly familiar thanks to her unique unassuming attitude and playful, non-serious behavior.

I realized it all over again.

He and himself are different from the size of the bowl.

Even when he is still, he captivates people with his presence and atmosphere.

He was kind to himself not because he was special, but because he was kind to everyone.

Due to Yoosung’s personality, it was clear that he would form a duo with the person who spoke to him appropriately first.

Anise turned helplessly.

Then I heard those words.

“I’ve told you so much, but I’m sorry everyone. Because someone has already thought of it.”

Do you have someone in mind?

…… If?

Unbelievable, I looked back, and Yooseong’s head was facing him.

The crowd of cadets split as the meteor moved.

He’s coming this way.

As they got closer, the tension increased.

What is this? Standing right in front of the Yuseong Iljindae, which is obviously no different than usual, I even felt like my breath stopped.

Yoosung held out his hand and said.

“Miss Annis, would you like to match your breath with me?”
