Episode 48 Swordsman (3)
8.
-Sigh!!
I heard Godsword’s voice in my head.
No, is it now a Godter knife?
-How dare you turn this body into such a mess… … .
I chuckled at his shout and looked up at the cutter blade.
Kigi geek.
-Well, what are you doing?
“It works well.”
With the blade out, I pressed it firmly against the desk.
Then the blade began to bend.
-Ugh! Why, why are you doing that!
Godterkal, the self-proclaimed divine sword, shouted in a nervous voice. I smiled at that shout.
“Why are you doing that to break the blade?”
-Why can’t I quit!
“Yes, I can’t.”
Anyway, the Godsword’s ego was transferred to the ‘cutter sheath’.
No matter how much I break the blade, there is no way this thing will disappear.
Instead, every time the blade breaks, Gutterkal feels the pain of his body falling apart.
In the second round, I defeated this guy using this method.
Again.
-Aaaah!! stop!!
“Nope.”
Again.
-Wow.
I smiled while looking at the shortened blade. It was an ego that was really easy to tame.
As I was about to break the blade again, Gutterkal shouted in a hurry.
-Stop it! What on earth do you want from me?
Without even repeating it a few times, Godterkal quickly raised the white flag.
I answered that question.
“There is only one thing I want. “Treat me as your master.”
Gutterkal became quiet at the word ‘owner’.
After a brief pause, Gutterkal conveyed his thoughts to my mind.
-Looking at the current situation, I think I have no choice but to acknowledge you as my master, even though I don’t like it. But I don’t think what you want is a formal owner, right?
Hearing his serious words, I started spinning him around.
“You are right, I am saying that you should accept me as your master in the name of the Godsword, not just as a master of words.”
Godterkal responded to my words.
-Why should I do that?
In response to Gutterknife’s question, I threw the twirling Gutterknife into the air.
-hmm?
I clenched my fist towards the Godter knife thrown into the air.
I stretched out my fist towards the gutter knife that was about to fall.
bang!
A tremendous sound erupted.
-Ouch!
I said while looking at the Godter knife stuck on the wall.
“Otherwise, today will be the last day of your swordsmanship.”
***
In the end, Godterkal recognized me as his master.
The reason I went to extreme lengths to become the owner of Godterknife was to gain Godterknife’s special talent.
[God Sword]
Title: Gutter Sword
Grade: S class
Characteristics: Limited to those recognized as the owner of the Godsword. If you achieve unity with the Godsword and the Sword, you can become one with the sword’s ego and become the Sword God.
In order to meet the conditions for this characteristic, I tried to be recognized as the owner of the Godterknife.
In moments of crisis, the Godter knife will become my lifeline.
I thought he was a judge, but he was a prosecutor.
It feels like this.
-Red-black? So I’m insurance, does that mean?
‘uh.’
-What a piece of shit!
The Godter knife that was kept in the inside pocket of the school uniform had been talking to me ever since it recognized me as its owner.
The next day, when we went to class at the Sword God Guild’s auditorium, Godterkal’s chatting continued.
-There’s another ego sword like mine here, right?
While listening to Godterkal’s chattering voice, I entered the classroom provided by the Sword God Guild.
“Siwoo!”
As soon as I entered the classroom, Yoo Ah-ram found me and called my name.

At that moment, countless eyes were focused on me.
9.
Class 5 students were not the only ones in the classroom.
“Is that Lee Si-woo?”
“You don’t look that strong.”
“Isn’t that video also Suzaku?”
“Tsk, it’s Kim Saek.”
I tilted my head when I saw the guys looking at me and whispering.
“You’re late.”
Jeong Ju-won, who came up with Yoo Ah-ram, said to me.
“Uh, let’s do something. “But who are they?”
“They say they are promising players from the Sword God Guild.”
In response to Jeong Joo-won, I looked at the sign room facing this way.
Prospects belonging to the guild refer to awakened people being raised directly by the guild.
In other words, there was a high probability that they were relatives of the Sword God Guild executives.
Among the executives belonging to the guild, there were occasionally awakened people who were not sent to an awakened high school to teach them their talents, but instead trained them for several years.
In particular, executives at places like the Swordsman Guild wanted to teach their children the martial arts they had achieved.
Suddenly, I remembered Ban Hye-jin, the daughter of Ban I-su, whom I had met yesterday, and looked around.
It seemed like Ban Hye-jin had not arrived yet.
At that time, I heard the door opening and I turned around.
“I guess I can’t be a nobleman.”
“huh? what?”
Yoo Ah-ram turned around after hearing what I said, and his eyes widened when he saw Ban Hye-jin’s doll-like appearance with pure white skin.
“… pretty.”
The moment Yoo Ah-ram said that, Ban Hye-jin walked towards us.
“Hyejin!”
From afar, one of the signing rooms could be heard calling for Ban Hye-jin.
However, Ban Hye-jin did not respond to the call and stood in front of me.
“Siwoo. hi.”
I saw him once yesterday, and after seeing him stop talking, I tilted my head and received a greeting.
“… hello?”
The kids in my class looked at me as I greeted a girl I had never seen before.
“Lee Si-woo… When did you meet such a beauty… … .”
“Selina, Hwang Da-bin, who is he again?”
I took a quick look at my surroundings.
Yoo Ah-ram had a very disapproving look in his eyes, and Selina and Hwang Da-bin were looking at me and Ban Hye-jin alternately.
“If it’s Hyejin… … ,”
At that time, Jeong Ju-won came between us.
“The daughter of hero Ban Isu?!”
At those words, the students, excluding me, looked surprised when they found out Ban Hye-jin’s identity.
Ban Hye-jin greeted her friends with a nonchalant expression, as if it was a regular occurrence.
“Hello, my name is Ban Hye-jin. I decided to take classes with you for a few days. Please take care of me.”
Then he smiled, and it felt like the world around him became brighter for an instant.
Tingling.
As I was looking at Ban Hye-jin, I felt a pang in the back of my head, so I turned around and saw Hwang Da-bin, Selina, and Yoo Ah-ram looking at me.
I couldn’t figure out why he was looking at me, so I tilted my head, and Ban Hye-jin came up to me and muttered.
“There are a lot of competitors other than that girl from last time.”
I nodded at those words.
Because, as Ban Hye-jin said, those people who were aiming for first place in school grades were my competitors.
“Hyejin.”
At that time, a member of the Geomshin Guild approached and called out Ban Hye-jin.
Perhaps offended by the call, Ban Hye-jin stiffened her expression and answered.
“why?”
At Ban Hye-jin’s sharp tone, Heo Ye-jun, who can be said to be the eldest brother in the group, twitched his eyebrows, but soon responded with a benevolent smile.
“I was so happy to see you that I called you.”
“What makes you happy to see you every day?”
Ban Hye-jin’s iron wall made me wonder how much Heo Ye-jun was like on a regular basis and whether Ban Hye-jin would hate him that much.
I suddenly realized that they were direct descendants of the Sword God Guild, and I looked back at Hwang Da-bin.
This was because Hwang Da-bin’s father, Hwang Dong-hyeon, was also a high-ranking official of the Geomshin Guild, and it was possible that Hwang Da-bin had a close relationship with one of them.
Dabin Hwang was watching us in silence.
Seeing that he didn’t pretend to know anything, I wondered if we were really close friends.
Feeling lucky, I tried to pass them to get a seat for class.
As I moved, their eyes moved along with me.
“… … ?”
When I turned around with a strange feeling, I saw Ban Hye-jin following me.
10.
Heo Ye-jun, the deputy guild leader of the Sword God Guild and the son of Sword King Heo Tae-jun, was trying to seduce the Sword God’s daughter, Ban Hye-jin.
Perhaps it was because he was the oldest among the four guild members, and perhaps because of his position as the son of the vice-guild leader, but the other three were subconsciously favoring Heo Ye-jun.
So, Heo Ye-jun was thinking that if he just tried a little harder, he might be able to capture Ban Hye-jin’s heart.
I did… … .
“Why are you following me?”
“Because I want to sit next to you?”
It was annoying. He was said to be an F-class awakened person.
I don’t know if the video was manipulated or not, but Heo Ye-jun couldn’t believe that the guy who single-handedly crushed a lycanthrope was an F-class awakened person.
It wasn’t good to see Ban Hye-jin, who didn’t care for her no matter how hard she tried, become friendly with that gisaeng brother.
“I’m sorry, but I have something to talk about with Siu.”
At that time, Yoo Ah-ram followed to Lee Si-woo’s right.
“We have something to talk about.”
On the left were Selina and Hwang Da-bin.
As four women surrounded Lee Si-woo, Heo Ye-jun’s judgment became distorted.
“… “Wow, women are lining up just because you manipulated a video.”
When Yoo Ah-ram heard the muttering, he got angry and shouted at Heo Ye-jun.
“It’s not manipulation!”
Heo Ye-jun’s eyes sparkled at that cry.
I wasn’t in a good mood, but I thought it was okay.
“Why are you upset? “Is the person who manipulated the video over there?”
“Because I filmed that video!”
At Yoo Ah-ram’s words, the three people next to Heo Ye-jun murmured.
“Brother, I think he is the owner of the ‘Awakening High School Freshman’ channel?”
“Really, it’s Yoo Ah-ram.”
I had no idea that the owner of the channel that uploaded the video was here.
However, Heo Ye-jun said that he had decided to see it through to the end, and that he was planning to impress Ban Hye-jin somehow.
“It just so happened. Unless the video was doctored. Prove it.”
“proof? “What proof?”
In response to Yoo Ah-ram’s question, Heo Ye-jun glanced at Lee Si-woo.
“I think the skill of the guy who defeated the lycanthrope would be on a similar level to mine, right? Let’s compete. “Who is stronger?”
***
What is this guy doing again?
I looked at Heo Ye-jun.
At first glance, it looked like he was going to great lengths to impress Ban Hye-jin, but I had no intention of being played by this guy’s words.
It wasn’t a video I wanted to upload, and there was no reason for me to prove my strength in front of these guys.
So I refused.
“I refuse.”
A clear sneer appeared on Heo Yejun’s lips at my words.
“Why do you refuse? “This is an opportunity to prove to everyone that the video wasn’t faked?”
“Why would you do that, brother? “I’m afraid that it will be revealed that the video was manipulated just by looking at it.”
I didn’t really like the guys behind Heo Ye-jun, who came forward at this point.
-Why are you staying still?
At that time, I heard the voice of Gutterkal, who saw that I was just holding back.
‘Because they are not worth dealing with.’
During the second round, if there was a guy I didn’t like, I attacked him.
Anyway, when fighting, I was able to transfer my opponent’s talents, and I overpowered my opponent by making better use of the same talents as him.
It was an indescribable pleasure to see the despair on their faces at the fact that they were defeated by their own talent.
However, as they attacked everyone like that, the number of enemies increased exponentially.
So, in this episode, I didn’t want to make as many enemies as possible.
“Operation… No… … .”
At that time, I heard Yoo Ah-ram muttering.
Suddenly, it occurred to me that if I avoid a duel here, not only I but Yoo Ah-ram might be criticized as well.
He suffered from the stigma of being a YouTuber who tried to become famous by manipulating videos.
That wasn’t what I wanted.
The timing was right when Yoo Ah-ram was just about to take a leap forward as a proper angler.
Yoo Ah-ram’s channel could become a space that can have a big impact on awakened people in the future.
And in order to protect it, I, who had a large stake in the channel, had to come forward and prove that it was not manipulation.
“That’s right, how can you catch a lycanthrope on your own when you’re an F-class subject?”
I sighed after hearing Heo Ye-jun’s words, which clearly provoked me.
“Anyway, they live for the sake of showing off.”
“what?”
“If you don’t experience it yourself, you don’t know how big the world is.”
“This bastard?”
I looked at Heo Ye-jun, who looked dumbfounded, and waved my hands.
“Let’s see who is stronger? “It will prove that the video was not manipulated.”
Come here.
