Episode 73. Chris, whose sword technique was ruined by Adrias’
single piece of advice, couldn’t stand the vibration and looked at his sparring sword, which had been broken with an expression of disbelief.
And Serena, who was behind, and Ivy, who was observing, were watching the scene with a surprised expression.
They probably couldn’t have imagined it.
Even so, the Yunor swordsmanship was one of the five greatest swordsmanships of the Empire, and was a sword with a high reputation.
I can’t help but be surprised that such a swordsmanship was destroyed with just one move.
“Chris Yunor.”
I called the name of the opponent who couldn’t come to my senses.
“The battle isn’t over yet. The sparring I was talking about must have been ‘2 vs 1’. Hurry up and pick up a new sword.”
However, I still couldn’t come to my senses, so in the end I touched his yeokrin.
“How long will you be there? It’s a waste of the name Yunor to be shocked by something like this.”
“What are you, how dare you!”
I also calm down right away.
No, didn’t he come to his senses, did he turn around?
Anyway, the frenzied Chris brought a new sparring sword.
‘okay. That’s how it should be.’
I haven’t been able to get him the advice I need yet.
I had to fight with him.
“Serena. How long will you be watching Are you kidding me there?”
When I mentioned Serena, she flinched and swallowed.
Then, slowly, he began to prepare for his departure.
‘okay. For both you and Chris, it’s a special class for you to end up like this.’
I am aware of all their potential, growth and talent.
Few people can give you better advice than me.
I raised my sword and said.
“Come on.”
Chris and Serena came running to me.
Chae Jae-jae!
kang! Kwadeuk!
Whoa- uh.
Swords and swords mingled.
Certainly Serena and Chris were strong.
Fighting with only a sword without the help of magic and the undead felt a bit dangerous.
‘But it still doesn’t work for me.’
Simply the time spent on training meant nothing in front of talent and density.
Of course, Serena and Chris have never fallen in terms of talent, but they haven’t bloomed yet.
‘If you give me a direction, I will grow quickly.’
bang!
The swords collided once again, and there was a roar that was hard to believe that swords collided.
The opponent now facing swords is Serena.
This guy is also heading in the wrong direction.
“It took too much energy.”
With those words, I naturally let go of the sword.
Then Serena jumped forward as if she was about to fall.
He kicked her mercilessly and avoided Chris’s sword.
“What are you going to do with a sword that is neither this nor that? Is Yunor’s sword just that much?”
“이 개새끼가!”
The frenzied Chris swung his quicksword once more, but somehow the sword felt heavy.
Originally, the Yunor family’s swordsmanship was not like that.
However, Chris, who felt the limit of not being able to jump over Lewis, was in the middle of rewriting the sword arbitrarily.
‘I should show it at this point.’
changing sword.
Among them, he remembered the quick sword he used against Hosan.
Even if you don’t push yourself as hard as that time, you should get some speed.
Wei Ying.
window!
The sword flew out as if it were exploding with the sound of holding mana.
It’s a quick sword like Yunor’s sword method, but my sword is literally a sword that reaches extreme heights.
Fuck!
“Ouch….”
The sword, which was swung at tremendous speed, hit Chris’ abdomen, which did not even respond.
If Chris hadn’t been activating his body with mana, his guts would have been shaken.
“Turn it off.”
Chris didn’t fall.
But it looked very painful.
I kicked him down as he couldn’t even stand properly.
“Heuk.”
“chris. Become a bastard. With that much skill, I already put useless thoughts into the quicksword, so it becomes a sword that is neither like that nor me. know?”
At that moment, Serena aimed at me while I was talking and brandished a greatsword.
But I wasn’t vigilant and brushed her sword to block her mana.
The ‘changing sword’ used this time is a heavy sword.
cooong!
As expected, Serena, who was pushed back from her strength, was pushed back little by little and eventually lost her balance.
He punched the opponent who lost his balance.
Fuck!
She shook her head and said to Serena, who flew away after being punched.
“I don’t understand why they use such powerful swords. are you stupid If you are a person with a little brain, you will develop in a way that highlights your strengths and eliminates your weaknesses, but why are you trying to deal with it with power that is not advantageous?”
“…without even knowing.”
Serena muttered and straightened her posture again.
I don’t even know, but I know more about your sword than your parents.
Serena had three older brothers above her.
Growing up among such men, Serena had a complex about physical limitations.
‘That’s why I try to use a sword loaded with power while overdoing it like that.’
But to me it was just stupid.
Why do you dare to abandon your strengths and walk the thorny path?
Of course, in my age group, there must have been no guys I couldn’t beat except for Chris and Louis.
Because even though I had such flaws, my talent covered it.
But not since.
If you continue to grow in such a wrong direction, eventually that talent will also fade.
‘Actually, if you don’t take the direction of Serena while playing Louis or Chris, your skills will catch up with the extra character 3 times out of 10.’
Of course, I wake up alone and escape.
But now that I’m involved, I might as well serve as a little bit of lubricant.
‘Serena’s strengths are a smooth connection using flexibility and an intuition to identify the opponent’s loopholes. So I have to relax and focus on speed.’
I’d like to point out the direction of training, but let’s think about that after we get to know each other.
First of all, I’m going to have to lose a little bit.
This time, I ran first.
* * *
After a long fight, he said to Serena and Chris, who were lying on the floor.
“Hey, there’s something I want to ask you two.”
“Ha ha ha…What are you talking about out of the blue?”
Serena asked back in a voice full of hostility, but she didn’t allow it.
Pride in the subject lying on the floor.
“Why are you guys holding swords?”
Maybe it was because it was such a sudden question?
Serena and Chris just kept themselves together without answering.
“I mean. Although he is a wizard, he does not take the sword lightly. I’m proud of this, but my skills speak for it. But I also sometimes have doubts. Why did I raise the sword What is the existence of a sword to me?”
I moved the sparring sword into my left hand and slowly pulled out Galaksur with my right hand.
The sharp blade of the sword glistened in the faint moonlight.
“The first reason I used a sword was ‘life’. Literally raised the sword to live. It’s a bit funny, but a wizard is bad at magic. That’s why I took up the sword because I wanted to live, and thanks to that, I’m alive.”
I put Galaksur in and asked again.
“What made you guys pick up a sword? simply because of the family name? Even so, what is the driving force that has not given up until now? What is a sword to you guys?”
“Is that important now?”
“uh. It’s very important. You don’t mean to say that you swing your sword without thinking, do you? If that’s the case, it’s not like a swordsman, it’s like a monster holding a sword.”
I pointed at the two with a cold gaze.
“You lost to me, a wizard, with a sword. I haven’t used magic even once today. I fought only with a sword.”
“….”
“If you are ashamed, throw away your pride. Think about how you can defeat me. Of course, Chris, on the contrary, you clear your mind. That’s the Yunor family’s sword method? The deceased First Prince Yunor will hold your back.”
“this…Whoa.”
It seemed like he was about to curse at the moment, but he seems to know that the map is embarrassing.
It was literally like losing to a wizard with a sword, so what can I say?
“Don’t look for an answer right away, think about it for a few days. After worrying and finding the answer, set your direction based on that. Isn’t the sword your life itself? If the time comes when you can tell me the answer, then try again. I’ll take it any time. The sparring is over today.”
Even if you say this much, they will figure it out on their own.
I don’t think I said much, but I did say the main point.
‘Serena should stop being proud and find and develop her own strengths, and Chris should empty his thoughts and return to his original mind and learn Yunor swordsmanship again.’
Of course, if there is no progress, then I can start again.
I’ll give you some advice no matter how many times. After all, they know which way to go.
I returned the sparring sword and approached Ivy.
She was looking at us with a rather curious expression.
“Thank you for your time today. I didn’t have anyone to ask for, so I called my assistant.”
“no. are you okay. Thanks to you, I had a fun viewing. Anyway, a little more than I thought? Did you really use the sword that well?”
“Because I am a genius. oh no Youngjae. Anyway, let’s go.”
“Unlucky bastard. okay. go away.”
Despite Ivy’s curse, I just smiled and waved.
I accidentally got entangled with the playables, so I hope it helps.
* * *
Ivy laughed at the back of Adrias as she left.
‘How come there are all those bastards?’
From the Voloric estate until now.
He always exceeded his expectations.
‘I thought he wasn’t an ordinary guy.’
I had no idea that he had that level of skill.
That level is comparable to Vivian Beloccan, the runner-up in this year’s tournament, even if her sword skills are not good enough.
I thought it was a story mixed with exaggeration because rumors almost beat Diene, the winner, but in reality, it was a credible statement.
‘It’s really unique. Like his personality and the way he thinks.’
To be honest, what he said to the freshmen a while ago left a strange aftertaste for Ivy.
It was a word that made him look back on his stagnant skills after reaching a certain level.
In fact, most prosecutors will.
The only thing he knew how to do was wield a sword, so he was less worried about it than just using the sword.
People breathe, but I don’t think about why I breathe.
‘It’s fun.’
Adrias Cromwell.
Even she, who had little interest in others, was a strange man who couldn’t help but be interested.
Looking back, it seems that the chicks are still struggling with mental attacks.
Well, it has to be.
In the meantime, even though the two of them, who lived on their own pride, attacked them together, they couldn’t defeat a wizard or an opponent who used a sword.
‘Besides, Adrias didn’t even use magic.’
I heard that during the tournament, swords and magic were used at the same time.
It must have been a big shock to the two of them that they couldn’t get him to use magic.
“How long will you be like that? It’s not the first time I’ve lost.”
Eventually, when Ivy opened her mouth, Chris and Serena, who came to their senses, moved their bodies.
Then, naturally, we faced each other face to face.
As if I realized something.
‘Maybe I was giving up.’
It was Serena’s idea.
She learned a great lesson from Adrias’ words.
Pride.
I thought I didn’t fit that word.
Actually, those words didn’t suit him.
The reason she wasn’t taking advantage was… ….
‘I was escaping from reality.’
since when
From a young age, he mainly used swordsmanship, which focused on strength, in order not to yield to his older brothers, but his obsession with him became more severe after coming to Monas after seeing a lump of talent called Lewis.
Now that I see it, it was a stale self-consolation.
The reason I can’t beat Louis is because I use swordsmanship that is against me, not because I’m not good enough.
It was a means for such an excuse.
‘Did you think so… ….’
I was fed up with my unconscious self.
But this time I definitely realized it.
That I have to find my own strengths and become stronger.
At least enough to not be ashamed of Adrias-senpai.
‘I will definitely become stronger and challenge again.’
okay. Even so, losing with a sword to a wizard is embarrassing and I can’t live with it.
It was Serena who thought so positively.
Seeing Serena like that, Chris raised the palm of his hand.
“….”
The calluses of his own hands were torn.
It was a grip that was so firm that it had never been hurt even once in the past 10 years since I was a child.
‘I have a lot of thoughts about my sword.’
To be honest, I didn’t want to listen to the words of the sorcerer, but I thought about it without realizing it because of the serious attitude of the other person.
‘What did I raise my sword for? What is a sword to me?’
What is a sword to me?
Family Honor Fame Life Maybe everything in life.
‘Is that so?’
At what point did he forget all of that and only chase Louis?
Why does my sword become that shadow and follow it?
‘Adrias… …said that he raised the sword for his life.’
Has there ever been a time when the sword was as desperate as life for me?
Of course, his efforts were desperate.
But in that direction?
‘Try it again. From the beginning.’
Just like the torn grip when I first learned the sword.
Having made up his mind to go back to the beginning, Chris looked in the direction where Adrias had disappeared.
“I will definitely try again. Senior Adrias.”
