Chapter 186

[ Episode 186. Swordsmanship instruction and a cozy night]

“If it’s a joke, it’s too much.”

“I am not kidding.”

Pione, who spoke with a smile, looked somewhat sarcastic.

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like they were making fun of me, so I thought that there was a lot of clang for a freshman.

“Pione Ardi.”

I called her name quietly but strongly.

Fione, who shuddered slightly at my call, smiled shamelessly.

“Did you call me?”

“You go out. I can’t show you from here.”

“Didn’t you say you could come?”

“okay. I’m here, so go now.”

“Yes? But...”

“Don’t say anything. scram.”

At my stubborn words, Pione finally bowed her head and went outside in a dreary state.

I’m glad I’m not stubborn though.

They said they wanted to see me, so I only tried to check my face, so even if I hadn’t made a joke like that, I would have kicked them out.

As soon as I turned my gaze to Louis and Serena, I was able to confirm that the two were strangely hardened.

Were you surprised to kick out Phione?

“Today, I called to look at Serena’s sword. If you think it’s a waste of time, you can just leave. Serena.”

“yes!”

“Look how much has changed since then. Pull out your sword.”

“......yes.”

The result was already evident in her voice without confidence.

Still, since I need to know the exact skill, I decided to mix the swords.

“Come on.”

“Seniors. Is this a real sword?”

“doesn’t care. Come on.”

At my firm words, she looked at Louis and Vivian for a moment, then rushed at me.

Kang!

power is weak

I didn’t see the same explosive power as before.

Of course, I was the one who advised not to do that, but for now, let’s wait a little longer.

“Use mana like last time. This will only make it harder for you.”

“But......”

“Serena. If you give me even one scratch, I’ll listen to anything. how is it?”

As if slightly offended by my words, Serena narrowed her brows and moved while activating her mana.

Then, I stopped the sword in admiration for a moment at the elegant attacks that changed in an instant.

Clearly, a playable is a playable.

It’s still a little clumsy in my eyes, but it felt like I got my direction in that short amount of time.

Ting-!

“it’s okay. You can stop.”

“Ah, a little more...”

“I was trying to find out your level, so that’s it.”

“Ah...”

Looking at Serena, who looked like a puppy with a drooping tail, with a smile on her face, she raised her sword.

“First of all, I’ll show you something new I’ve learned this time. Take a good look. Also look at Louis Vivian.”

At my words, the three faces became serious.

Seeing that he could be serious like that, he seemed to believe in me quite a bit, so it was a lot of pressure, but I was confident that I could meet that expectation.

What I’m going to show you from now on is the transcendent (Jin) sword technique.

‘Perfect.’

It was the name of a swordsman that I had barely come up with after thinking about it for a long time.

I don’t know what the original name was, but I thought the name didn’t matter because the form of the sword method had already been interpreted in my own way and was quite different from the original.

Huung-

I started lightly, just like when I was training at the World Tree.

At first, it does not contain mana, only pure form.

Creepy—

But just with that shape, the air that touched my sword started to cut me.

A sword that cuts grain.

It naturally read and cut even the texture of the air.

“What the hell is this......”

I could read traces of astonishment in the eyes of those who were looking at me.

It was so sharp that you could feel the air tearing through your five senses, but you couldn’t cut it without being surprised.

Soon, my movements gradually intensified.

Of course, the overall sword technique itself emphasized naturalness and softness, so there was no grand feeling, but the speed gradually increased.

Uh-uh—

Soon, even the mana dwelled, and the air cut by the sword became a vacuum and pulled in the surrounding air.

It ended with a haze rising as if the space was twisted, and an aura burst out with the final dance.

“There’s something like dust on my cheeks. No more.”

I put on my poker face again and casually looked her in the eyes and lied.

I didn’t know why I did it, so I couldn’t say anything clearly.

“huh.”

Vivian nodded, ran her hand across the floor, and applied it to her cheek.

“It’s dusty.”

“......yes?”

“dust. buried.”

What are we going to do?

As soon as I couldn’t respond, she pushed me in the cheek.

“dust.”

“Yes......”

I was a little embarrassed, but I soon realized my intention and wiped her cheek.

I felt strange when I touched his soft cheek flesh.

By the time I wondered what this was doing, Vivian backed away, blushing.

Aren’t you angry? Did I wipe it too late?

“Adrias.”

“yes. Please speak.”

“Thank you too.”

“you’re welcome.”

“Adrias...because I will protect you.”

“yes?”

Her last words, whispered almost inaudibly, were scattered in the air.

I got up from my seat thinking that it was right that I was angry.

“I decided to teach swordsmanship to Louis and Serena. I just wanted to show you the sword technique. How is Vivian?”

“good. I will too.”

When I saw Vivian talking nonchalantly, I was confused whether she was doing it because she really wanted to do it, but I said that I knew it.

“I’ll take you.”

When I came out of the training room, Vivian followed me.

It seems like something went the other way, but I didn’t hate it so much, so I nodded my head.

It was a cozy night as the weather gradually warmed up.

**

Serena’s mind was all about the swordsmanship she had learned from Adrias the day before.

I thought about it so much that I couldn’t even sleep the night before.

‘It’s fortunate that the tournament is off today.’

Today was a day off thanks to the tournament that runs every other day.

She wanted to skip tournaments and just practice, but her responsibility was too great for that.

Bean bean!

“Serena! Are you inside?”

“Yes?”

“let’s go eat.”

When I checked the time at the call of my friend outside the training room, it was lunchtime before I knew it.

As she was hungry after training all night, she answered right away.

“huh. I’ll go.”

I was a little concerned about the smell of sweat, but I went out and tried it.

Her friends, who were waiting at the door, were surprised to see Serena’s face and asked.

“You didn’t stay up all night, did you?”

“huh? Ahaha. That’s how it happened.”

“It’s rather bad if you overdo it. You haven’t forgotten who preached that you should be moderate, right?”

“I did. ok i won’t bother Thank you for your concern.”

Chatting, they headed to the restaurant and soon woke up after finishing their meal.

While eating, Serena’s friend Maya, who was worriedly looking at Serena, who was lost in thought alone, spoke to her quietly.

“Are you okay? What’s going on?”

“no. Rather, it worked out so well that I was distracted.”

“Then I’m glad. However, if you have any concerns, let me know right away.”

“huh. thank you.”

At that moment, one side of the restaurant became noisy.

As Serena’s friends checked, a group of strangers were approaching them.

“That school uniform is...”

“Vulkan Academy.”

Those wearing Vulkan Academy patterned outfits soon approached Serena.

When everyone was confused by the sudden situation, a man with white hair covering his eyes came forward.

“Serena?”

“Who are you?”

“I am Vulcan’s ghost, Baek Hangi.”

His eyes, revealed through his hair, had a strange shape.

“I want to fight you.”
