Episode 017
‘That’s amazing!’
When Professor Ingalldel saw Lee Han kicking up the dirt and throwing it all over Dergyu’s face, Professor Ingalldell’s first thought was admiration.
-Do not choose any means or methods. There is only life and death.
Nobles who learned swordsmanship for dignity and sophistication viewed undignified methods as insignificant, but swordsmen who risked their lives by swinging their swords in actual combat valued only victory.
In that respect, Lee Han kicking the dirt with his foot wasn’t bad at all. Rather, it was good.
Moreover, what should have been evaluated more highly was the situation itself, in which students of the same age were all staring.
At most around mid-teens. He was at an age when he was full of blood and pride.
Not only nobles but also knights did not want to use cowardly means.
Most students are unable to use it even if they know it because of their poor pride.
But Lee Han didn’t think for a second and kicked the dirt.
Even though he comes from the most noble family here!
It was something that only a swordsman who instinctively knew what swordsmanship was and was ready to sacrifice everything for that swordsmanship could do.
“Aaaah!”
Dergyu, perhaps not expecting it, also swore.
Dirt got all over my eyes, nose, and mouth, and I became delirious.
‘Shit! ‘With such a shallow trick!?’
Dergyu was more angry at himself for letting his guard down than at his opponent who used a cowardly method.
I’ve heard a few times that situations like this can happen when learning swordsmanship from your family!
Since the opponent was an aristocrat from a noble family, he had arbitrarily assumed that he would use straight, measured swordsmanship.
‘Finish it quickly!’
Lee Han rushed towards Dergyu, whose posture had collapsed.
Lee Han had been practicing swordsmanship for quite some time, but Dergyu had also been practicing it for a long time.
Maybe he trained harder and more rigorously than Lee Han. I could tell just by looking at his posture.
If they fight properly, Lee Han himself does not know whether Lee Han or Dergyu will win.
then?
We had to create a situation where we could win.
…Of course, Allarlong didn’t teach me how to kick this dirt.
Thanks to this, Allarlong was being admired by Professor Ingerdel without his knowledge.
‘The teacher must be a terrible person to even teach such things!’
“Ugh… Damn it!”
“!”
Durgyu kicked the ground hard with his foot and flew backwards, spinning in the air.
There was no posture or anything. Due to the hastily widened distance, Dergyu lost his balance, fell, and rolled backwards.
“……”
“……”
Lee Han also had no idea that his opponent would throw himself backwards and roll around.
‘Why is this kid so determined to die…? Actually, I sprinkled the dirt.’
Coming from a family of knights, I never thought I’d end up rolling around on the dirt…
Everyone was so shocked that there was no sound of cheering and it was quiet.
Professor Ingalldell was the only one who applauded.
“Great job, young students!”
“……”
“……”
Durgyu wiped the dirt from his face with his sleeve. Although his face was a little clean, his whole body was a mess from rolling on the dirt.
But thanks to that, his eyes became even more fierce.
Lee Han clicked his tongue.
‘But it’s not like there’s no income.’
The other person probably got some heat from getting hit in the face with dirt and rolling on the floor.
In fights, people who are angry tend to make mistakes.
When things got tense, we had to play psychological warfare like this.
“Kaaah!”
Dergyu shouted and rushed forward.
* * *
‘He fights really well!’
Professor Ingalldell was impressed once again.
Earlier, I was impressed by the attitude of the two students who were willing to use any means possible, but now I was impressed by their pure swordsmanship.
I thought they were the best among the current freshmen, but I never thought it would be like this.
First, Durgyu of the Choi family was showing off the Gosan Moon Sword in style.
The wooden sword pierced Lee Han with a hissing sound in a quick and cheerful rhythm, as expected from a sharp sword.
Originally, the movement had to slow down each time it was thrust and pulled out, but Dergyu maintained that speed without slowing down.
This was possible because a little bit of magic was infused into the sword.
It would be difficult to block even if you just stab them, but each sword technique is imbued with magical power.
It was an overly harsh attack on a freshman.
However, the hardships of the Wardanaz family were not easy.
Tuk.
“!”
Tuk.

“!!”
Tuk-
“!!!!”
The more he attacked, the more his expression became anxious and sad.
Dergyu was walking quickly and without stopping to avoid being counterattacked by his opponent.
At the same time, when attacking, he tensed the muscles of his entire body and thrust forward as if he was throwing.
Otherwise, the sword’s speed would not be achieved.
Flashy and fast attacks were possible, but they consumed a lot of stamina. Dergyu felt like he was already out of breath.
however…
The opponent stayed still, like a rock, with little movement, and when a stab came in, he just hit the track to the side.
As if the attack was fully visible.
‘Shit!’
Durgyu felt as if he was pricking a rock with a needle.
Even if I had predicted the attack, I never thought the opponent would be able to block it so easily.
‘Is there not enough power in the stab? ‘Why doesn’t my opponent get tired?’
Dergyu screamed inwardly.
And at that time, Lee Han was also thinking the same thing.
‘This guy looks like he’s about to pass out, why doesn’t he stop?’
Byeokamgeom, which Lee Han learned, is a heavy and strong sword type sword technique.
Even if I tried to land a shot against Dergyu, it wasn’t easy because Dergyu was moving back and forth like crazy.
The good news is that Lee Han has a physical advantage over his opponent.
The opponent is excited, rolling on the floor, his movements are much more violent, and above all…
Lee Han didn’t get tired just because he infused some magic when swinging his sword.
Even Lee Han himself was surprised by the level of magic he realized after he started learning magic.
…It seems like I’ve been infusing a lot of magic into the sword for quite some time, so why don’t I get tired?
However, even if Lee Han had the advantage, it was not easy.
To be honest, Dergyu’s attack was quite harsh.
Each time I threw it away, a heavy force was applied, sending a chill down my spine.
It’s because it’s a wooden sword. If it were a real sword, just brushing it would have cut off the collar.
From the outside, it looked like Lee Han was blocking the attack with a leisurely movement and a short bounce, but Lee Han, who was blocking, was putting a lot of effort into it.
“Huh…!”
And in the end, it was Dergyu who collapsed first.
Although he held his breath and his entire body’s muscles screamed, Dergyu was mentally shaken first.
It was because the opponent seemed so unwavering.
A bastard from the Wardanaz family who blocks attacks with an expressionless face as if nothing is wrong!
When Dergyu met those eyes, he had the illusion that he was already playing in the other person’s palm.
‘That’s too bad.’
Professor Ingalldel felt sad inside.
Although Dergyu collapsed first, Lee Han was also quite crowded.
That’s why Dergyu’s attack was so fierce.
If Dergyu had known that, he would have been able to exert more strength.
However, Dergyu overestimated his opponent and collapsed on his own.
As I was young, it was an inevitable mistake.
Moreover, Lee Han of the Wardanaz family was already giving off the cold and overbearing aura typical of great nobles.
A handsome man who doesn’t seem to bleed even when pricked with a needle has many advantages in swordsmanship.
Pop!
As Durgyu fell, Wardanaz immediately swung his wooden sword, sending the opponent’s sword flying and stopping before the tip of his neck.
“stop! Wardanaj won.”
Professor Ingalldel spoke softly but firmly. He expressed his determination not to allow any more fighting.
The White Tiger Tower students sighed in disbelief.
The greatest of them all, Dergyu, lost!
“Nonsense!”
“After all, I sprinkled dirt on it…”
“You rolled on the ground too.”
“What should I do, you bastard? “Is this because it’s Dergyu’s fault?”
“Ah… no. sorry.”
Professor Ingalldel opened his mouth, ignoring the students who were whispering.
“Today, the two students showed truly excellent swordsmanship. Just because you won today doesn’t mean you’ll win in the future, and just because you lost today doesn’t mean you’ll lose in the future. Let the winners be humble, and let the losers move forward. Greet each other.”
Lee Han held out his hand and looked at the other person.
To be honest, Lee Han expected the other person to glare, spit, tighten his hands, or do some other damn thing.
When Lee Han came to listen to the lecture, he got into an argument, which showed that his temperament was not normal, but his swordsmanship, which he was most proud of, was broken.
‘If they attack you with your fists, you should break the bottom with a low kick and counter immediately.’
Lee Han narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person, preparing for a possible surprise attack.
Even though Professor Ingalldell is by my side, I learned before that you can’t trust professors, and didn’t I learn something new at this school?
“…It was a good fight. I apologize for making a mistake and ignoring you. “You are fully qualified to take this lecture.”
“!”
However, Oak has sincerely apologized.
Lee Han checked, thinking, ‘This kid isn’t trying to catch you off guard and attack you,’ but it didn’t seem like he had that intention.
then…
“I guess you said it because you were worried too. do not care.”
“……”
widely-
Dergyu held Lee Han’s hand and nodded. Those eyes contained respect.
Clap clap clap-
Professor Ingalldel applauded with an expression of emotion at what he thought was a beautiful sight.
Of course, the White Tiger Tower students looked very shocked.
“What are you all doing? “Aren’t you going to clap?”
“……”
Sereung-
When Professor Ingalldell looked at him with a straight face and pulled out his sword, the students moved their hands urgently.
Clap clap clap clap!
* * *
“You’re not going to just leave me alone after being humiliated like that, are you? Step on it.”
The other White Tiger Tower students nodded at the cold voice.
But Dergyu shook his head with a heavy expression.
“I lost because I wasn’t good enough.”
“no! “That bastard kicked the dirt and lost!”
“no. Even if I hadn’t sprinkled dirt, I would have lost. And if I lost because of a trick like that, I also lost because I wasn’t good enough.”
The students were agitated by Durgyu’s words.
As he had the best swordsmanship, Dergyu’s words carried weight to the students in the dormitory.
However, the golden-haired student spoke coldly.
“I’m not curious about that. What’s important is that our tower’s honor and pride were broken because of you. Take responsibility. Choi family.”
“……”
Giselle, who inherited the Moradi family lineage, spat out coldly.
Dergyu’s face hardened at those words.
As the Moradi family exerted strong influence among the northern knight families, Durgyu could not be easily ignored.
“I lost because I wasn’t good enough, how can I take responsibility?”
“It’s simple. “If you go alone and lose, go with a group and that’s it.”
Before she could finish speaking, two students came out and stood next to Durgyu.
“don’t worry. Durgyu. “I will help you.”
“Three people are enough.”
“…Isn’t it embarrassing as a knight to fight one person out of three?”
Dergyu said, trying hard to somehow prevent the situation.
Then Giselle laughed.
“If you’re going to say that, you should have won. “Are you saying that after losing?”
“……”
The reactions of White Tiger Tower students were divided in half.
Half of the students have always been on the side of the Moradi family.
And half of the students responded that this didn’t seem right.
However, even half of the students did not come forward.
Dergyu bit his lip and said.
“I refuse.”
“you. “You’ll regret it.”
Giselle looked away as if she would no longer suggest anything.
“Cowards are excluded. Three, including you. “Go and step on Wodanaz.”
“okay. Moradi.”
“Don’t worry.”
“……”
No matter how well Lee Han fought, 3 to 1 was too much of a disadvantage.
The three of them even consistently learned swordsmanship.
Durgyu made a decision.
I decided to stand by Lee Han’s side for honor’s sake.
* * *
Sigh!
“Wardanaz you bastard!! dare!!”
“…If you want to hunt down the next guy, come closer.”
Lee Han said coldly. The two students, intimidated by the sight, took a step back without realizing it.
Dergyu, who belatedly came running to help, looked at the collapsed student with a shocked expression.
What on earth is going on?
