“impolite! How dare you make a fool of Gracia!”
I don’t know what part of what I said was rude.
I was in a good mood, so I tried to go on a good, positive note, but I was starting to get annoyed.
“Uh-huh, I’m fine. Aren’t we all foolish sentient beings anyway? “How can a mere insect understand the meaning of a person?”
“Crazy guy.”
I’m saying that if it’s a person I don’t know, it doesn’t have much of a role, but it’s too pretentious.
Speaking of Gracia, I had previously confirmed it with a tablet document sent by the principal.
Gracia of Air Course Academy platinum.
It was an academy in the Castle Kingdom of Casion, a type of monastery named “Academy,” and was a place to learn theology, magic, and swordsmanship.
And Gracia is said to be the grandson of Godric Hunt, the cardinal of the Holy Kingdom, and looking at that figure, it looks like he went to the Holy Kingdom of Casion as well.
“Did you just say that to me?”
I didn’t feel it was worth answering.
Deciding to leave before I got even worse, I tried to ignore the air course students and pass by.
“He goes, how dare he face Gracia!”
“Stop!”
As the commotion broke out, the surrounding attention was focused.
The other person must have confirmed this as well, so he became even more arrogant and blocked my path.
“joy! “It feels like they’re trying to insult me and run away, but they can’t do that.”
Gracia took off the pure white gloves on her hands and immediately threw them at me.
Of course, I avoided it just by slightly moving my head.
“It’s a duel! Adrias Cromwell!”
“Damn.”
I am not a good person.
However, I am not the type to tolerate it.
Adrias Cromwell was naturally like that.
Ssssss-
Al-Ghurd’s omnipotent energy radiated out.
It was a courage possessed by a man at the forefront of a battlefield that ordinary people could not handle.
“Umm…”
Gracia, who started to look visibly embarrassed, suddenly began to look at her surroundings.
Are you coming to your senses now?
“This is not the Cassion you grew up in.”
I approached the other person while looking straight at them.
You’re probably feeling incredibly alive right now.
It must be a harsh feeling for someone who grew up like a flower in a greenhouse.
As I approached, Gracia, who was frozen and unable to do anything, immediately fell backwards after being struck by my blow.
“Ugh.”
“go away.”
I relaxed and looked down at him as he sat down.
“Unless you want to die.”
“Hi!”
Gracia hiccuped and shuffled back.
Looking at that person, I understand why I don’t remember this person.
It was because he was a really worthless guy.
“Platinum Gracia fell without even being able to use her hands.”
“As expected, senior Adrias. “It shows that we are on a different level from other academies.”
If you look at the reactions of those around you, it seems like you are quite capable, but to me, it seems like everyone is being deceived.
It’s just funny that a guy like this is given a nickname like Platinum or something.
Only then did Gracia realize that people were watching, so her face blushed and she got up and ran away somewhere.
He must have realized that he was embarrassed, so he disappeared without saying a word.
“Senior Adrias. “It was cool.”
“You got the discipline right! “I already hated seeing people wandering around at other people’s academies, but this is truly amazing.”
Things that I normally wouldn’t talk to started flocking around me and praising me.
Now that there is an external enemy, will we all gather together internally?
There was absolutely no intention to raise the Academy’s status, but it doesn’t matter what you think.
‘If I really want to meet you, I’d like to see Roberto or Baek Han-gi.’
Except for those two, the rest are names I’ve never heard of before.
Gracia of Platinum, Hougen of Mutou, and the mysterious Noah.
All three don’t know.
If you don’t know something, there’s a good chance it’s not named, so you can stop paying attention.
I thought…
“Are you Adrias Cromwell?”
After contacting the kids for swordsmanship instruction, there was an unusual girl at the training ground where I arrived first.
The small girl was wearing a hoodie, with her hands in her front pockets, looking around blankly, then spotted me and approached me.
A guy with dry eyes that seem as if all emotions have been erased.
She looked ordinary at first glance, but my genius swordsmanship allowed me to immediately understand the power she possessed.
“who are you?”

“Noah of the Six Paths. Nice to meet you.”
This guy is the mysterious Noah.
Why didn’t I know about this strong guy?
“It’s a good thing you came. “Actually, I wasn’t going to come, but I came after hearing about you.”
Contrary to her words, her expression looked bored.
As far as I know, Yukdo is an academy with a slightly complicated format.
The name is also called an academy, and rather than a lecture application system like ours, it is a format where you take a set class in groups.
It was also known that there were six separate factions inside, and that it was a place where one was recognized as strong just by belonging to one of the factions. In a word, if you don’t belong to a faction, you’re an idiot.
‘They said it was the first time to integrate the six islands.’
To be honest, the only academies I’ve experienced in-game so far were Rodlen and Keshurn Violga’s Mirko Academy, so I didn’t know much about the level or internal circumstances.
I knew this information because the principal, Deos, sent it to me on a tablet.
“Aren’t you curious about me?”
Noah asked me like an emotionless doll as I just stood there without saying anything.
I’m thinking about it again, but why didn’t I know about this strong guy?
“You’re strong.”
“huh? then. Strong. “I may be weaker than you.”
“Honestly, I was surprised. “I never thought there would be someone like you anywhere other than Rodlen Academy.”
“Aren’t you too much of a frog in the well? Unlike being strong, you are so pure.”
“yes. “Thanks to you, my eyes have opened.”
“Then, since your eyes were opened thanks to me, please do me a favor.”
For some reason, this girl smells familiar.
Feels a bit like Lucia?
Not only is he shameless, but his expression and tone of voice, as if he has a keen understanding of the world, are as if he has a limited time limit.
‘Time limit?’
I don’t know.
One thing is certain: I am now interested in this guy.
A little more information was needed.
“What is it?”
“Are you going to listen?
“Let’s listen.”
“It’s simple. “Please spar with me.”
“great.”
I was also curious about this guy’s identity, so it turned out well.
I only knew through intuition that she was strong, but I had no idea how she fought.
“There are no observers, so we’ll keep it light.”
“It’s uncomfortable here. “When we got into a fight, we didn’t stop until one of us was maimed on the spot without any observers.”
“It’s a rough place.”
Is this a scoundrel’s school?
No, it’s a more terrifying place because you fight with magic like actual metal objects and bombs.
“I’m rather curious about how someone as strong as you came to be in a place like this.”
Then my fighting talent sounded the alarm.
I reflexively took a step back, and Noah’s kick passed by where my temple was.
“Has it already begun?”
“My skill is to make you let your guard down while talking to me.”
Noah, who spoke calmly, lunged at me with his bare body.
The sparring sword was in the far corner, so right now they had to fight with their bare fists, but Noah seemed to be used to that kind of situation.
“uh? “Isn’t that Adrias Cromwell?”
“what? “Who are you fighting with?”
The students of the Knight School in the training hall quickly gathered around, whispering.
I shouted at them.
“Two swords for sparring!”
“All right!”
Fortunately, someone listened to me and I blocked Noah’s non-stop barrage of fighting techniques.
“I guess you’re pretty confident in hand-to-hand combat?”
“I decided it was the only way I could beat you.”
You’re probably saying this because you’re pretty confident, right?
But guess what? I was also a little confident in hand-to-hand combat.
Especially grappling, where joints are your specialty.
Ttuduk!
Noah’s outstretched fist was caught by my hand, which was entangled, and his arm was pulled out.
I felt it right this time, but improving my abilities using points was quite helpful.
I never would have thought that a slight touch would tear off my arm.
Wow-
However, Noah quickly widened the distance and put his arm back together.
Those machine-like movements and unchanging expressions made me feel like a doll, not a human.
“It’s a skill I learned professionally. “I underestimated you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, the sparring sword arrived.
As I quietly stretched out my hand, one student ran up and handed me a sword, and then handed the other sword to the other person.
“Without mana?”
“As I said before, the observer…”
“Did you call me?”
Someone came out through the crowd.
A face I haven’t seen in a long time.
“Instructor Ivy.”
“Long time no see. “I’ll be an observer, so don’t worry about it and just fight.”
And Noah opened his mouth to Ivy.
“sister.”
“Did I tell you? “If you come, you won’t regret it.”
sister?
wait for a sec. Ivy is Noah’s older sister?
Come to think of it, I had never heard of Noah’s last name.
“huh. “I might be the first person to lose to anyone other than me.”
Noah spoke dryly and then pointed his sword at me.
“Since an observer is here, we will do our best. Are you fine?”
“yes. “Please feel free to come.”
My current skills are at the same level as Ivy’s or better.
Ivy Claire probably had a genius swordsmanship, but I had much more complex talents.
In addition, although he was said to have let his guard down, he defeated Auror Master Seir and lasted for about 1-2 minutes in the fight with Hugen, who was nicknamed the Elf’s strongest swordsman.
Whilick-
Noah’s movements were lively.
Elastic movements and acrobatic movements.
The unexpected movement and beat were quite impressive.
Huh-
Ka ga ga ga-
And continuous sword techniques mixed with quick sword techniques.
However, it wasn’t that he lacked power.
This level of destructive power is probably achieved with the help of mana.
Karrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm
It was strong as expected.
I thought he was probably so strong that it would be difficult to find a rival among his peers.
“ha.”
Noah took a step back for a moment, catching his breath.
And then he told me.
“Why just block it? You either counterattack or attack…”
Soak-ae–
Kang!
I threw a sword blast at her as she spoke.
I was just curious about what kind of sword technique the opponent was using, but I wasn’t trying to avoid attacking.
If she thought I was a benevolent person, she was very mistaken.
He blocked the sword wind and quickly moved towards her, who was gently pushed away.
What I use now is an egoless sword.
As my swordsmanship skills rose to genius, my selfless sword also changed.
Kaga River! Whirik-kang!
Now, instead of a single change each time, there are complex changes.
Fast and single-pointed, heavy and strong.
And it changed it in an instant, making it impossible for the opponent to adapt.
As a result, unlike before, the situation was completely opposite, with Noah being forced to go on the defensive.
No matter how fast and strange his movements were, they were useless in the face of overwhelming skill.
Then, suddenly, an explosive force different from before was felt from the opponent’s sword.
Kwaang——-!
For now, I trusted my strength and took a step back.
I wondered if there was something else to this sudden change, but when I glanced at Ivy, I could see her face clearly stiffened.
Exciting!
“hmm?”
At that moment, I felt a strange pounding sensation.
As I distanced myself, I looked at Noah for a moment and noticed something dark on her neck, unlike before.
Something similar to a tattoo that I wonder if I had before.
She must have noticed my gaze and tried to pull the hood down, but I could already see everything.
‘Dark magic?’
To be exact, it looked like a type of curse.
The reason for this conclusion was based on this palpitation.
A wave felt when a named item related to black magic is discovered.
That’s what I was feeling now.
It was not difficult to infer that Noah was not an item.
“That’s it for now.”
“I can do more.”
“no. “The sparring is over.”
Ivy appropriately interjected.
Then he looked at me meaningfully and said.
“Can you follow me for a moment?”
“All right.”
It looks like she noticed what I noticed.
Because the sparring ended in vain, the onlookers expressed their dissatisfaction with a look of disappointment, but they had no intention of restarting the sparring.
Maybe Noah’s problem has something to do with Ivy’s dislike of warlocks or the reason I’ve never heard of Noah.
If her life was short-lived for any reason related to black magic, she would have died before she achieved fame, so it was natural for me not to know.
“I still…”
“Noah.”
Ivy called her name a little sternly.
Then Noah, with a grim face, looked away.
“coward.”
“what? “What did you say to your sister?”
“it’s okay. “More than that, Adrias Cromwell, I hope we can settle the matter properly next time.”
She dropped her sparring sword on the floor, turned around, and disappeared somewhere.
Ivy didn’t bother to catch her like that.
It seemed like there was a complicated situation between the sisters.
