[ Episode 188. Sisters and Dark Magic ]

“It’s rude! How dare you make a fool of Gracia-sama!”



I don’t know which part of what I said was rude.

I was in a good mood, so I tried to go good, but I’m getting annoyed.

“Oh, I’m fine. Aren’t you a stupid middle schooler anyway? How can a mere worm know the will of a person?”

“Crazy.”

If it’s a person I don’t know, it’s a story that doesn’t matter much, but it’s too much.

Since it was called Gracia, I had previously confirmed it with the tablet document sent by the principal.

Air Course Academy Platinum Gracia.

It was an academy of the Holy Kingdom of Kasion, and it was a kind of monastery with the name of an academy, and it was a place to learn theology, magic, and swordsmanship.

Also, Gracia is said to be the grandson of Godric Hunt, the Cardinal of the Holy Kingdom, but looking at that figure, it seems that she went to the Kasion Holy Kingdom as well.

“Did you just say something to me?”

I didn’t feel worth answering.

Deciding to leave before I get more damned, I tried to ignore the Air Course students and walk past them.

“That man dares to go to Gracia-sama!”

“Stop!”

As the commotion arose, all eyes focused on the surroundings.

The opponent must have confirmed that as well, but instead, he blocked my path even more arrogantly.

“joy! It seems like he insults me and just tries to run away, but he can’t.”

Gracia took off the white glove from her hand and threw it at me.

Of course, I dodged it just by moving my head slightly.

“It’s a duel! Adrias Cromwell!”

“Damn it.”

I am not a good person.

It’s not that I don’t have a tolerant personality.

Adrias Cromwell was originally such a personality.

Ssssss-

Al-Gourd’s all-knowing energy emanated.

It was the killing spirit of a strongman who stood at the forefront of a battlefield that ordinary people could not handle.

“Ummm.......”

Gracia, who had begun to show a visibly flustered expression, suddenly began to look around.

Are you a little more conscious now?

“Is this the Kasion you grew up with?”

I looked straight at my opponent and approached.

You must be feeling a great sense of life by now.

It must have been harsh enough for him who grew up like a flower in a greenhouse.

As I approached, Gracia, who had not been able to do anything while frozen, was hit by my blow and fell backwards.

“Keugh.”

“go away.”

I relaxed and looked down at him who was sitting down.

“If you don’t want to die.”

“Heeep!”

Gracia hiccupped and stepped back, dragging her butt.

Looking at him, I can see why he’s a character I can’t remember.

It was like that because he was really a no-nonsense guy.

“Platinum Gracia has collapsed without even using her hands.”

“As expected, senior Adrias. It shows a different level from other academies.”

If you look at the reactions around you, you seem to have a lot of skills, but when I see you, it seems that everyone is being deceived.

It’s just funny that a guy like this is nicknamed platinum or something.

It was only then that Gracia must have realized that people were watching her, so she got up and ran away with her face blushing.

He disappears without saying anything, as if he knew he was embarrassed by his appearance.

“Senior Adrias. It was great.”

“You got the discipline right! I didn’t want to see them hanging out at other people’s academies, but it’s really amazing.”

Things that I wouldn’t normally talk to started flocking around me and complimenting me.

Since there is an external enemy, will they come together inside?

I had no intention of raising the academy’s status, but I guess it doesn’t matter what you think.

‘If I really want to meet him, I’d like to see Roberto or Baek Han-ki.’

Except for those two, the rest are names I’ve never heard of.

Platinum Gracia Mutou’s Hogen Mysterious Noah.

don’t know all three

If I don’t know, there’s a high probability that it’s not a name, so you can stop worrying about it.

I thought...

“Are you Adrias Cromwell?”

After contacting the kids for swordsmanship instruction, there was an unusual girl at the gymnasium that arrived first.

The little girl, wearing a hood and hands in her front pockets, looked around blankly, saw me, and approached me.

A guy with dry eyes, as if all emotions had been erased.

It looked ordinary at first glance, but my swordsmanship genius made me grasp the power she had at once.

“who are you?”

“Noah of the Six Paths. Nice to meet you.”

This guy is the mysterious Noah.

Why didn’t I know of such a strong guy?

“It was good that you came. Actually, I wasn’t going to come, but I came after hearing rumors about you.”

Contrary to her words, her expression looked bored.

As far as I know, Yukdo is an academy with a slightly complicated format.

“huh. It might be the first time anyone but me loses.”

Noah, who spoke dryly, pointed his sword at me.

“Since the observer is here, I will do it with all my might. Are you fine?”

“yes. Feel free to come.”

My current skills are equal to or better than Ivy’s.

Perhaps Ivy Claire also had a genius talent when it comes to swordsmanship, but I had more complex talents.

Moreover, although he was careless, he beat Seir, the Aura Master, and even endured a minute or two in a fight with Hougen, who had the nickname of the Elf’s strongest swordsman.

Whirik-

Noah’s movements were light.

Elastic movements and acrobatic movements.

The unexpected movements and beats were quite impressive.

Huung- Kaga-

Ga-Gak-

And a continuous sword technique mixed with a quick sword.

It wasn’t even a lack of power.

It’s probably with the help of mana to reveal such destructive power.

It was strong –

as expected.

He was probably strong enough to find no match for his peers.

“ha.”

Noah took a breath and stepped back for a moment.

and he told me

“Why do you just block it? You either counterattack or attack.......”

Breaking fluid–

KANG!

He blew a sword wind toward her as he spoke.

I was just curious about what kind of sword the opponent was using, but I didn’t mean not to attack.

If I seemed benevolent, she was greatly mistaken.

Blocking the sword wind, he moved towards her, who was gently pushed away.

The one I’m using right now is the selfless sword.

As my swordsmanship talent grew to a genius, my selfless sword also changed.

Kaga River! Whirik-Kang!

Now, not just one change, but a combination of changes.

Fast, single point, heavy, yet strong.

And it transforms it in an instant, making it impossible for the opponent to adapt.

As a result, unlike before, the situation was the opposite, and Noah was on the defensive.

No matter how fast and bizarre his movements were, they were useless in front of his overwhelming skills.

Then, suddenly, a different explosive power than before was felt from the opponent’s sword.

Kwah——-!

Once I surrendered to the power, I stepped back.

I thought this was something else because of the sudden change, but when I glanced at Ivy, I could see her face clearly hardened.

pounding!

“hmm?”

In an instant, I felt a strange heartbeat.

I looked at Noah for a moment while widening the distance, and unlike before, I saw something dark on her neck.

Something like a tattoo that I wish I had had before.

Perhaps she noticed my gaze, she tried to press the hood down deeply, but she could already see everything.

‘Dark magic?’

To be precise, it seemed like a kind of curse.

The reason that can be concluded was based on this pounding heart.

A wave felt when a named item related to black magic is discovered.

I was feeling it now.

Since Noah was not an item, there was nothing difficult to infer.

“I’ll do it here.”

“I can do more.”

“no. The sparring is over.”

Ivy interjected appropriately.

Then he looked at me intently and said.

“Can you follow me for a minute?”

“All right.”

It seems she didn’t notice what I noticed.

Because the sparring was over, the bystanders expressed their dissatisfaction with regretful faces, but they had no intention of resuming the sparring.

Maybe Noah’s problems have something to do with Ivy’s hatred of warlocks or why I’ve never heard Noah’s name.

If she had been short-lived for any reason related to black magic, she would have died before gaining fame, so it was natural for me not to know.

“I’m still...”

“Noah.”

Ivy called her name a little harshly.

Then Noah, whose face had become desolate, averted his eyes.

“coward.”

“what? What did you say to your sister?”

“it’s okay. Rather than that, I would like to have a proper decision after Adrias Cromwell.”

She dropped the sparring sword on the floor and then turned around and disappeared somewhere.

Ivy didn’t bother to hold onto her.

It seemed that there was a complicated situation between the sisters.
