Academy’s Genius Swordmaster Chapter 34

34. Scream from the ground (1)

#34

“How can I say that?”

Ronan muttered. He returned to the dormitory only after the sun had completely set. When I opened the door the maid who was dusting the room greeted me warmly.

“Oh you came back early today. Shall we prepare a meal?”

Ronan threw his clothes in the corner of the room and fell onto the bed. He mumbled as if speaking underwater.

“It’s okay Lucy. “I’m not hungry.”

“Has something bad happened?”

“Rather than saying it’s bad… it feels dirty. Can I pee here like this? “It’s a hassle to go to the toilet.”

The maid’s name was Lucy. Over the past few weeks Ronan has been able to become quite close to her. It was thanks to him constantly bothering me to learn how to cook various things. Lucy said with a straight face.

“No. “Please protect human dignity.”

“At first you said you would clean it up.”

“Even lovers who will not be separated for three days whisper about eternity when they first confess. By the way are you really okay?”

Lucy looked at Ronan’s limp body with concern. Normally as soon as I entered the room I should have started doing productive activities as if I were going to die tomorrow. He reads books exercises etc. Ronan muttered again.

“Lucy.”

“yes?”

“Should I protect my benefactor’s dream? Or should I carry out my will?”

“…You were having very philosophical concerns.”

“If you choose one of the two the other will not come true. Shit I really don’t know.”

Ronan grabbed his head and tied it up. The latter is a conclusion reached over three lives. The general who had seen the end knew that the way to be happiest would be to go down to his hometown and cut his own cloth.

Thinking rationally it would have been right to immediately break Adeshan’s sword and then urge him to drop out. But every time I tried to make a decision the face of the girl Adeshan flashed before my eyes.

– General. Even if it seems reckless I want to try it.

Ronan had no confidence in making her her general. She was able to remind him of qualities in her that she was unaware of. But that only hastened her ascension to her generalship.

“Fuck… what are you asking me to do…?”

If it were anyone else I wouldn’t have even worried. While I was drooling I heard Lucy’s voice.

“Do I have to decide right away?”

“yes?”

“If it’s not something that needs to be decided right away I thought it would be a good idea to wait and see for a while. I don’t know the details but everyone has such concerns. “Just like I was debating whether to become a maid or not.”

“Watch…? Right away…you don’t have to decide…?”

“yes. “The more important a decision is the more careful it must be.”

Lucy said in a friendly tone. Ronan who had been quiet for a few minutes lifted his head slightly.

“I think about this every time but Lucy is better than most teachers.”

“Hehe it’s nice to hear even empty words. thank you.”

“It’s true. “It is said that the Sentai Sword Saint is known to make students faint.”

“Nabi Rose? “No way.”

“Because it’s real. “It also turns into a really big snake… I’m going to get some rest so come in Lucy.”

“yes. “If you need anything please call me anytime.”

Lucy said hello and walked away. Ronan lay down in that position for a long time.

Only the sound of the clock’s second hand ticking and her own soft breathing remained to fill the space. Eventually Ronan turned his body over and muttered softly.

“…Let’s watch a little longer.”

The moonlight seeping through the window was creating a blue path in the room. At that moment the road cut off for a moment and something crashed into the window. bang!

“Hey it’s a surprise!”

Ronan hurriedly got up. There was an ugly little bird sitting by the window looking around. Ronan sighed and opened the window.

“What are you again? “Have you been drinking?”

At that time Ronan’s eyes fell on the swan’s legs. There was a note tied up somewhere. When Ronan unwrapped the note the owl flew away without even looking back. The content of the note was extremely concise.

[The weapon is complete. – Didican]

Even when the sun sets the educators’ work does not end. Adeshan and Nabirose were organizing the materials for the daytime classes in the office attached to the first arena.

The pile of documents piled up in front of the women listed the information and achievements of each student. Nabirose who was wearing a shirt said while shuffling through documents.

“Adeshan. “Are there any students who show signs of developing Auror skills in the near future?”

“Hmm…currently 4th year student Marshall de Acalusia seems to be the most likely candidate. ”

“Is it that family this time too? “It’s late for Acalusia.”

Adeshan nodded. She knew a new student in the magic department who had already developed Aura. Now that she thought about it she remembered that she had promised to go to a cafe together tomorrow.

She said ‘Why are you hanging out with so many freshmen this year….’

freshman. Ade Shan who was pondering something opened her mouth.

“Instructor. “There is something I want to ask you.”

“Say it.”

“I was talking about student Ronan earlier… Did she really need to appear as an Auror?”

Her voice trembled slightly. Nabirose chuckled as she remembered what happened in the morning. How long had it been since I experienced her rebellion?

“why. Did she suddenly start spouting nonsense in the health room?”

“No no! It’s not that…it’s just that. It was an unusual thing right? “If you were an instructor you would have been able to subdue her with just her skills alone.”

“It’s definitely been a while since we’ve had all the snakes out. “Is this the third time since she took office in Phileon?”

With butterflies I shook her head. It wasn’t very common for her to display auras in front of students. At most she would demonstrate during classes on Aurors or at least a snake’s head or tail.

Her reason for not revealing everything was simple. Her students couldn’t hold on. Her auror Mansa had the effect of paralyzing living things within a certain range and controlling the five senses.

In fact the moment Nabirose manifested his aura all the students except Ronan and Schlieffen froze like stone. The onset time was short and wouldn’t cause any harm to the body but it would probably be enough to cause nightmares tonight.

Even though Butterfly Rose took such risks she manifested her Aura. After stroking her chin for a moment she opened her mouth.

“It was unusual.”

“yes?”

“I can only explain it that way. “It was an act of intuition that brought everything out.”

Nabirose recalled what happened during the day. It was only after Ronan had destroyed Cardan that her intuition responded.

For just a moment a blood-soaking murderous feeling penetrated my entire body. Auras appeared reflexively like a flock of birds taking off after hearing gunshots.

“The funny thing is within a few seconds after I brought up everything my life started to subside. “I was fortunate that it didn’t make a big deal out of it.”

“So…what did you feel about student Ronan?”

Nabirose did not answer. It was an energy that was difficult to explain accurately something that was foreign and stimulated my instincts. However she experienced it once. In the great jungle of Armage before I had even reached the level of a sword master let alone a sword master.

She was ‘the strongest swordsman I’ve ever crossed swords with.’

She couldn’t forget if she wanted to. After inflicting a crushing defeat on Butterfly Rose the white-haired swordsman taught her a few sword techniques and left. Some of them became the basis of the butterfly rose series.

For a moment Nabirose felt a similar feeling from Ronan as that swordsman. After reflecting on her memories for a moment she continued.

“…I can’t explain it in detail. The important thing is that he resisted everything and took steps. And look at my uniform.”

“yes?”

Butterfly Rose pointed to her uniform draped over her chair. As Ade Shan approached her tilting her head her eyes widened. A cut the size of a finger remained on her collar.

“As you know I did everything I could to overpower him and hit him on the back of the neck knocking him out. In the meantime they fought back. “I don’t know if he read my movements or if he instinctively swung his sword blindly but his sword was definitely aimed at my neck.”

“Is that possible?”

“Now that it’s happened I guess it’s possible.”

Adeshan was astonished. In fact it made no sense to even take a single step.

all things. He is a swordsman’s auror who was once at the top of the empire. Even Schlieffen could do nothing but hold on to the hilt of his sword in front of the snake mourning those who would soon die.

Adeshan knew that the rumor that Nabirose once paralyzed a group of flying wyverns causing them to fall to their deaths was true.

“Anyway keep an eye on Ronan Adeshan. Because he is the only talent who can compete with Schlieffen for the position of Sword Saint. At least that’s what I think.”

“Yes yes. All right.”

“Zaifa will have to be nervous too. “Even that cat can’t stay in the position of the Sword Saint forever.”

Nabirose let out a low laugh. Adeshan looked at that figure in wonder. Is it because of something that happened during the day? The teacher who usually does not show his emotions seemed particularly excited today.

“Anyway what is your relationship?”

“What are you talking about…?”

“They thought you were very terrible. It seems clear that he has special feelings for you. “Most people say it’s love but he’s such a strange guy that I can’t be sure.”

Nabirose said calmly. Adeshan’s face turned red as he thought about what love meant for a moment.

“What a love affair! “What are you saying…I saw you for the first time today…!”

“Think simply. “Most guys are like talking stones.”

Ade Shan waved his hand furiously. Nabirose laughed and turned towards the stack of documents again.

“Then let’s continue working.”

****

“It seems like a stupid weekend away system. “If I just let them out after the lecture what will happen?”

“But isn’t it okay since you can do almost anything on the premises?”

“I don’t like the idea of ​​confining me.”

The weekend is back. Ronan Asher Marya and Sita were heading to Gran Cappadocia late at night. Asher looked at Ronan’s tired face and asked worriedly.

“Anyway…did you not sleep Ronan? “You look very tired.”

“Of course it’s not okay Asher. Are you going to sleep? Aren’t you curious about what kind of monster that rice ball-like old man has created?”

“Babe!”

Sita cried in response. Ronan laughed when he saw that he had gained some weight. Sita was acting as a messenger traveling to and from Nimbutton where Iril is located once every four days and it seemed that her sister sent her with a lot of food every time.

Marya who heard Ronan’s words said as if she was dumbfounded.

“Aren’t you too late for that?”

“I couldn’t help it. That witch would have killed me if I had missed her remedial classes. “My shoulder is still throbbing.”

Ronan had to take Butterfly Rose’s class which he had not been able to attend because he fainted earlier. Because it was a make-up class and there were no people the teaching was even more harsh and persistent. Ronan was able to leave the main gate of Phileon only after perfectly demonstrating three types of herbivores of the Butterfly Rose type.

“Let me teach you about that damn snake thing.”

“snake?”

“There is such a thing. “If you guys had seen it you probably would have wet yourself.”

Ronan recalled an incident that happened a few days ago. The gap with the Sentai Sword Master was farther than I thought. His eyes could follow the movement but his body couldn’t keep up.

As Asher said Ronan could not sleep well. However it wasn’t that I couldn’t sleep because I was looking forward to Doron’s weapon.

‘There is no choice at this level. ‘You must become strong by any means necessary.’

It was a shameful defeat. No matter how clever the technique was she never thought she would be defeated so easily. Ronan spared time to train his body and hone his skills. He stayed up all night trying to practice mana which he shouldn’t have done.

‘Sir… I want to bloom into Auror within at least three years.’

Nabi Rose’s aura came as a huge shock. Although it was not as good as Schlieffen’s Storm Sword it was a sufficiently deceptive technique.

When he thought that such power might be latent within him he could not remain still. Of course the mana response must be successful first. Ronan muttered.

“Should I find something good to eat…?”

“huh?”

“no. “Let’s go quickly.”

As he walked along the workshop street a collapsing blacksmith shop caught his eye. The sign with the life-threatening name “Hammer Hammer Hammer” seemed ready to fall if the wind blew even a little strong. Ronan said knocking on the forge door.

“Hey Didican. “We’re here.”

But no answer came back. Even if I knocked on the door again it was the same. Ronan said looking back at his companions.

“…I guess you didn’t steal it?”

“Nobody in their right mind would do that. Didican! “We’re here!”

Marya who became sensitive to the idea of ​​being eaten in droves shouted. The voice was so loud that it rang throughout the blacksmith shop but once again there was no answer.

Ronan lost his temper and hit the door harshly. bang! The door slid off its hinges and hit the wall. There was no bolt attached in the first place.

“Hey Didican. “Stop playing around and come out.”

The party walked inside the blacksmith shop. The scenery of Hammer Hammer Hammer was no different from before. Moonlight was seeping through the hole in the ceiling. Floating dust still cooled furnaces and rusty weapons came into view.

The group moved to the location where the elevator was. The entrance leading to Gran Cappadocia was completely indistinguishable with the naked eye. Ronan reached out and began smoothing the back of the brazier.

“It was somewhere around here…”

It was clearly a structure that operated the elevator by pressing a specific part. It was a car whose dusty surface I had been fiddling with for a long time. A strange sound was heard from somewhere.

-Ahh…

It was a sound that I couldn’t pinpoint. Ronan stopped moving. Asher who was following tilted his head.

“what’s the matter?”

“fizzle. “Be quiet.”

I tried to listen again but all I could hear was the exterior walls of the building creaking in the wind. Ronan tilted his head.

“…I heard it clearly.”

“Pyeol.”

Then Sita jumped from Ronan’s shoulder. Sita stopped at a certain spot and tapped the floor with her forehead. Ronan knelt down with his ear at the spot where Sita had knocked. A subtle vibration was transmitted through the pinna of the ear.

– Rumbling…!

-Ahh…!

“Holy shit.”

Ronan hurriedly got up. A strange sound like the one I heard the day I left Gran Cappadocia. And a faint scream was coming from down below.
