Episode 50
5.
“Don’t push me away.
At my words, Hwang Da-bin and Selina’s expressions returned to their original state.
But why did it change?
The moment I tilted my head, Ban Hye-jin spoke.
“””uh?”
“You speak informally too.”
Yesterday was our first meeting, but today was not.
Plus, if we were the same age and would continue to see each other in the future, there was no reason to continue using formal language.
Since Ban Hye-jin was speaking informally first, there was no hesitation.
“So, did you learn sword fighting from Choi Minji?”
I could only nod my head at those words.
Because I couldn’t think of a good excuse.
“Senior Minji Choi, you really were an incredibly talented person.”
Naturally, they thought Minji Choi would be stronger than me.
That’s why he seemed to think he was able to teach me to this extent.
‘Er, I don’t know.
Minji Choi is not as good as Geomshin, but he recently gained enlightenment, and by becoming Geomshin’s disciple, he was going to become stronger than me in the field of swords, so I didn’t think it was a lie.
“””still…”
Everyone turned to look at Yoo Ah-ram’s words.
Selina maintained a blank expression, and Dabin Hwang was biting his lip.
Jeong Ju-won was recording something, and Yoo Ah-ram seemed to be purely impressed.
From a distance, I could see Ji Tae-hoon and his gang looking at me, but when they made eye contact with me, I saw them turn their heads.
“He’s good at swordsmanship, I heard, and he’s good at other things too.
I sighed inwardly at Ban Hye-jin’s words.
Everyone calls me a genius, a genius.
I regressed and was able to grow this much because I had EX level talent through the privilege of possession.
The real geniuses were these guys next to me.
Right in front of my eyes were guys who would grow into heroes in the future with just one talent.
“What is genius?”
The moment I muttered that, teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang came back.
“Have you been studying well?”
“””yes!”””
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk smiled when he saw us answer loudly.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Ah, teacher.”
“””Do not speak.”””
“What an incredible story…
“It’s something that can’t be helped once you’ve entered Awakening High School.”
We screamed at teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words.
“So what do you mean?”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk answered the question of Ban Hye-jin, who was an outsider.
“Now that the midterm exam is over and the performance evaluation has been taken, it’s time to move on to the next curriculum.”
At Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words, the pupils of Class 5 students began to shake.
“””teacher…”
“That’s it…
Since the next curriculum was also a test, everyone always screamed.
However, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk was cruel.
“No matter how much you deny it, there is nothing you can do about it.
“Ahh!!”
“””no!!”””
While the Class 5 students were screaming, I pondered Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words.
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk clearly said it was ‘practical training.’
The only place where you could truly experience real combat was behind closed gates.
‘no way…
A gate that remains closed and is not an educational gate.

“But sir, when you say actual combat, do you mean that we will at least be put into the field?”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk responded to Ji Tae-hoon’s words.
“There is a closed gate managed by the Sword God Guild.
“””gate…”
“Wow, awesome.
Kang Joo-hyuk answered Yoo Ah-ram’s question.
“””okay.”
“””Oh oh!”””
“It could be dangerous, so I will get support.”
“””yes?”

With those words, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk began to give us a lengthy explanation of the actual game.
To summarize what teacher Kang Joo-hyuk said, practical training is definitely an opportunity to become stronger, but because it is so dangerous, there is a possibility of getting hurt.
So, if you want to participate in practical classes and become stronger, you should submit an application stating that you want to participate in practical classes.
It is said that after looking at the application form, the teachers decided to exclude students who had even the slightest chance of getting hurt during the actual competition, based on carefully selected criteria.
Instead, he said that students who do not participate in practical classes will be prepared to do practical training with guild members of the Sword God Guild.
“What are you going to do?”
Ban Hye-jin, who was next to me, asked me.
There was nothing to think about.
If the gate was truly closed, it was nothing short of an accident in itself.
Even if it was just to treat Ban Hye-jin and show off, it was always a good idea to visit there.
“I will participate.”
As I spoke, people around me began to say something one by one.
“If Siwoo participates, so do I…”
“If you’re talking about attacking the gate, I’ll participate too.”
It burned the will of Yoo Ah-ram and Jeong Ju-won.
“If you participate, you can become stronger, right?”
“Let’s participate.”
Selina and Hwang Da-bin, who had visited the closed gate with me last time, also expressed their intention to participate.
“Sounds fun.”
Lastly, I looked at teacher Kang Joo-hyuk as Ban Hye-jin spoke with a smile.
“Can I submit my application now?”
After accepting the applications filled out by the students, Kang Joo-hyuk headed to the temporary staff room provided by the Swordsman Guild.
In the end, every student filled out an application.
Kang Joo-hyuk, feeling that he had a great desire to become stronger, visited second and third grade teachers.
It was decided not to conduct this practical training by grade level, but to mix seniors and juniors.
It was such a dangerous class, and in order to make the class even a little safer, it seemed important to place older students in the right positions to protect the freshmen.
Kang Joo-hyuk entered the temporary teacher’s office.
Coincidentally, the teachers he wanted to see were having tea time.
Teachers of one class in each grade.
Kang Joo-hyuk swallowed dry saliva and faced them.
“Mr. Kang.
“””yes.”””
“””good job.”
“””all right.”””
It went well.
“I think three teams will be enough.”
“””yes?”””
“Third grade, first place, Tae Ji-hyuk.
“””but…”
“You said it was a real fight?
Kang Joo-hyuk had no choice but to nod his head at the words of teacher Choi Ji-won, who was called a battle-crazy bitch.
The safety of the students was important, but the students were also awakened, and when he and she were young, they had clearly learned how to become stronger on their own.
“We just talked.
“Oh, is that so?”
“I think it’s going to be so much fun for the first time in a long time.
As teacher Choi Ji-won spoke with a flushed expression, Kang Joo-hyuk spoke with a worried expression.
“Sir, I’ll say it again.
“I understand, I understand.
Kang Joo-hyuk looked at the three teachers.
These three teachers all had something in common.
Even though she was quite old, she could not get married.
Perhaps that was why the three teachers relieved their stress by fighting.
Kang Joo-hyuk returned to his seat, thinking that he should form a team with this in mind as well.
7.
After filling out the application form, we came out of the classroom as teacher Kang Joo-hyuk told us to prepare our minds.
There was some time left before dinner.
“I have some time left, can you show me around the Sword God Guild?”
“””good.”””
There was a reason why I asked Ban Hye-jin to show me the Sword God Guild.
I opened the status window and checked the transferred talents that I had not used yet.
-Buff (1/1)
-Hwaryeong (1/1)
-Yong In-hwa (0/1)
-Summon (1/1)
-Baktu (0/1)
-Fast (0/1)
-New Sword (0/1)
[Combined Talent]
- Path of Fire
There was only one combination talent left, and most of the talents filled in the slot had been used, so it could not be filled.
There was a Godter knife, but it couldn’t be used all the time.
Since I had to use talent combinations, I would have to spar with friends around me in order to exhaust them and replenish my talents.
So, I deliberately asked him to show me the Sword God Guild.
Ban Hye-jin started showing us around here and there, and we followed her around.
‘Now I can just tell him to show me around the training ground.’
There were many wooden swords placed in the training hall, and since everyone had witnessed my sword skills, I told them to try swinging the sword once, so if I was attacked, I could easily replenish my talents.
“Please show me around the training ground.”
“I was going anyway.”
“Is there a training room?”
“As expected, it’s like the Sword God Guild.”
As we chatted and moved to the training ground, I used my remaining talents to create combinations.
I had to save up the summons and then use them, so I combined the buff and Hwaryeong, pretended to be watching the Sword God Guild, and checked the five cards I had assembled with an expectant expression.
Since the talent came out randomly, I was excited to see what kind of useful A-level talent would come out this time.
Just as I was about to check which of the five cards was the brightest, I arrived at the training hall.
“This is the training ground.”
Shoo!
As I opened the door to the training hall and entered, I could hear the sound of the wind blowing.
“””uh?”
Using Ban Hye-jin, the swordsman’s daughter, as a shield, I entered the training hall with Ban Hye-jin in front.
Thump, thump, thump, thump.
Several wooden swords were seen clashing together.
Four male students holding wooden swords were focusing their attack on one person.
I looked at the man being attacked by four male students.
It was 4 to 1, but the man didn’t seem to be pushed back at all.
Rather, it seemed like the man was pushing the other four male students.
Every time the long wooden baton was swung, the male students holding the wooden swords hesitated.
“You look like a student at Awakening High School?
We knew the man in the center swinging his baton in style.
We answered Ban Hye-jin’s words at the same time.
“I’m a third year senior.
The moment we mentioned senior Tae Ji-hyuk’s name, the bong burst into flames.
Whirring.
Senior Tae Ji-hyuk, who swung the baton once and knocked away four others at the same time, swung the baton several times and captured it.
“Wow…
I couldn’t help but be amazed.
My eyes sparkled when I saw that.
