32 – Memory of the Sword

The next morning.

From noble mtl dot com

Running in the gymnasium as always.

While working out in the gym.

“…What is it?”

I sensed something strange.

“Why is the barbell… So light?”

Did I hear that wrong?

Check the weight by turning the barbell sideways.

“Right?”

The weight I always lift when exercising is right.

Let’s go back and forth with the barbell and do something we haven’t done before.

Senior Erika came over.

“Why is that, junior? Is there anything strange about it?”

“Ah… That’s it. A little bit of Babel.”

“Babel?”

Senior Erica quietly takes the barbell from my hand and puts it on and off a few times.

“?? No problem? Doesn’t it feel heavy because you didn’t stretch properly?”

“It’s not heavy… I get it. There is no problem with Babel, right?”

“Yes. Be careful not to get hurt!”

It’s the same even after listening to it again.

Just in case, I lifted a barbell with a little more weight.

It’s not as good as before, but I could feel the weight.

‘Ah. I can’t believe this.’

Clean up the equipment quickly for confirmation.

I returned to the dormitory.

“Status window.”

-The ring.

————————————————————————- —————

Next to the quest? The sign is flashing.

‘Until now! It was…’

In that case.

I put my finger on the quest window.

————————————————————————- ——————-

Quest (1) ▽

You have reached a suitable physical ability!

-You have the will of a warrior!

-Your mana is turbulent!

Current synchronization rate (71%…)

————————————————————————- ————–

Quest complete.

Looks like his strength level has finally gone up.

But…

“A warrior’s will? Tumult?”

I don’t know what you mean.

Fortunately, the speed at which the synchronization rate rises is not that slow, right?

At this rate, it seems that synchronization will be complete within today.

“It’s a bit embarrassing, but…”

I checked my watch.

It was already time to prepare for school.

“I have to go to school first.”

After a quick wash, change into your school uniform.

As always, I headed to school.

**

“Ugh…”

“…Are you okay?”

Professor Lina’s tribe class is over.

Upon returning to her classroom, Selina collapsed on her desk.

‘It’s like that all day these days.’

It seems like the last practice wasn’t going well.

“No hell!”

Selina suddenly jumped up from her desk.

“Why. What is it?”

“How did you do this?

It’s only a fixation of the form, but I put an image here..? It makes no sense!”

That makes no sense.

You’re talking right now…

“No, then you can ask Professor Bergen…”

“Professor Bergen is kind of blunt, so even if I ask Professor Lina,

The only answer was, ‘Only Professor Bergen can do that.’…”

“… Selina will do it.”

“If you can’t talk.”

Selina grumbled, but she calmly sat down in her chair, as if her mood was slightly relieved by my words.

“So. Have you decided which weapon to use in the weaponry class?”

“… No. This is not easy.”

“Isn’t the next class about weapons?

Then don’t you understand even if you hear what the professor said?”

“I have something in mind, but…”

No matter how you think about it.

Rather than learning a dagger or a spear you won’t use later

I think it’s right to learn the sword first.

Even if I fall out of Professor Kamir’s eyes in the beginning.

If you lay the groundwork here, you can learn from Morhan later.

Sung Jin-ha, he’s not the type to teach others…

Just like that, the next class comes.

It’s time to choose your weapon.

“Today we are going to divide the classes by level, so pick up your weapons quickly. There is no time.”

At Professor Kamir’s words, everyone rushed to pick up their weapons.

“Is this right..?”

I pulled out one of the dozens of swords in front of me.

-Sereung.

The blade does not stand still.

It definitely felt heavier than the dagger.

“… It’s quite light.”

Is it because his physical ability has improved?

The A class students who picked up their weapons lined up side by side.

Tak.

“Then, I will start evaluating the level of weapon skills from now on.”

Professor Kamir stood in the middle of the arena and opened his mouth.

“From now on, go upstairs in order.”

Professor Kamir continued his words by scooping up his index finger.

“Only once. Attack me.”

“…?”

As a group, they became confused.

“… Isn’t it in sparring format?”

Let a student ask a question.

“Even sparring is not necessary. What is the original fight

Because more than half is decided by the first blow you inflict on the opponent.”

Everyone had puzzled expressions.

Because it was the professor’s words, I calmly went upstairs.

And the first person. Second person.

Around the time when about 10 students finished their exams.

I gradually learned the meaning of the words.

“… The grip of the sword is wrong.”

Let’s hit the sword of the first beast student to the side.

The sword is pulled out of the beast student’s hand.

– Clink.

“Next.”

The second vampire girl climbed up and pulled out her spear.

As soon as the sparring begins.

I closed her distance and swung her spear wide.

“… What do you think the advantages of spears are?”

Professor Kamir holds the spearhead and gives it light pressure.

-Cheap.

With the sound of windows breaking. Professor Kamir’s face is annoyed.

Next.

Next.

Let’s say that about 10 students can’t split even one point and drop out.

The atmosphere inside the gym becomes heavy.

In addition to the students of the martial arts department.

It happened because there were also students from the tactics and production departments.

“What should I do…”

“Oh, I’m next in line…”

With students paying attention.

“… This is Class A?”

Professor Kamir’s expression seems to be very uncomfortable.

Now, level evaluation is not just a simple test.

It has become a bomb that can explode at any moment.

And whoever went up next.

“… Please take good care of me.”

Selina holding the dagger in reverse.

“Ah. You are memorable. It must have been Selina.”

Talent. Genius. Professor Kamir, who has a lot of interest in the same talent, has a special interest in his eyes.

“Looks like some good guys are coming out now. Come.”

As soon as he finishes talking, Selina quickly closes her distance.

“The speed is good.”

Slashes the dagger from the bottom to the top.

Let’s avoid Professor Kamir’s attack by leaning his upper body backwards.

I hold the handle of the dagger with my left hand as it is in the cut position, and I try to cut it down.

Chin.

I lightly grabbed the blade of the dagger and blocked the attack.

Professor Kamir opened his mouth as he leaned his upper body backwards.

“Excellent.”

“Thank you…”

“If this is enough, you can go straight to mastery. It’s good to go down.”

Although it was over in an instant.

First positive reviews.

Suddenness erupts from among the students.

“… I feel burdened, so what should I do next?”

“Who is next?”

“Next… Uh.”

Trumbling.

Who went up to the arena next?

“Oh. It’s finally here.”

Seongjin-ha climbed onto the training ground and took her stance.

A picture of her lowered with her sword hanging down.

“You said you tied for first place this freshman year? Where can I see your skills?”

Professor Kamir opened her mouth with an expression full of interest.

“Come.”

Quang!

In an instant, Seong Jin-ha’s body reaches the front of Professor Kamir.

“That is…”

It’s not even a proper blood ghost trick.

It must have lightly amplified his physical abilities using the principles of Blood Ghost Art.

As it is. Raise the sword diagonally.

Hoo-!

The sound of wind cutting.

The sound of air bursting immediately after. Clothes shake in the wind

“This is it.”

“…”

Professor Kamir laughed out loud as if he was satisfied and slapped Seong Jin-ha on the back.

“Good good! After all, 1st place deserves 1st place!”

Sung Jin-ha, full of annoyance, came down from the arena.

Neneto, who was watching with Bella from the side, opened his mouth.

“It sure is different.”

“You’re number one! Our Rai doesn’t do that much either.”

“Really? I don’t think I’ve ever seen him use a weapon…”

The eyes of the people around me are focused on me at the same time.

It’s a big deal.

Obviously, I don’t even know how to handle a black horned weapon…

Is there no choice but to go up and get beaten?

“Next!”

Even the next order is mine.

“Ha…”

What can I do?

I stepped up onto the arena with heavy feet.

“Oh, the next order is also number one! Let’s see… Huh?”

Professor Kamir looked at me with expectant eyes and tilted his head.

“Aren’t you the friend I picked out the dagger from last time? Were you number one?”

I think he remembered my face when I was choosing a weapon last time.

It must have been disappointing because it wasn’t the 1st place he expected.

“What. The ranking is not the order of how well you handle weapons… Come first.”

“…Thank you very much.”

Haa…

I am not motivated.

With a lightly gripped sword in one hand, I walked toward the professor.

Trumbling.

Go up to the front and attack roughly once.

It must be over.

While walking at such a speed that no one could expect at all.

Thumping-

…Huh?

‘Something just…’

Thumping- Thrilling-

It is not an illusion.

The feeling of time passing slowly.

My heart raced and my head spun.

-… Cle… Please… Ask… Give me.

I hear someone’s voice.

My eyes are blurred.

[Synchronization complete. ??> Acquire reward.]

[Inherit the memory of the sword.]

**

Let’s open our eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

I saw a young boy brandishing a sword.

Hung-!

A boy wielding a wooden sword.

There are villages and villages that have been burnt to ashes.

There were countless corpses of unrecognizable shapes lying around.

Hoo-!

Time goes by fast.

-… No more.

The child grew up and became a young man.

The wooden sword in the boy’s hand had turned into a sharpened sword before he knew it.

– aaah!

-Stop…!

People were dying.

‘…That’s it.’

Non-human beings.

Beast race. A war against vampires.

But their appearance is not the rational one we know now.

It looked like an ugly animal.

Beasts drooling and jumping with glistening eyes and biting at the scruff of the neck.

A vampire who blows the head of a passing soldier with an expressionless face as if he has no emotion.

-I won’t lose.

A flame burns in the man’s eyes.

Time passes even more.

At some point, the real sword in the man’s hand turned into a holy sword that emits dazzling light.

-…Ben…Nica!

-Okay…Joe…Hae!

The boy was no longer wielding the sword alone.

There were countless people cheering for the boy around him.

I have friends I can entrust my back to and fight with.

-…

Darkness came for a while.

In the field of vision that became brighter after that.

The man was still brandishing his sword.

Changed place.

A different look.

-With this…

Hung-!

The man slashed the sword lightly as if brushing off his last lingering feelings.

A gorgeous aura too.

No twinkling lights.

Just a simple cut.

But the last sword the man wielded.

Even though I didn’t know anything about swords, I could see his level.

The tip of the sword trembled quietly.

The wind passing by.

A man’s smile made up as if he was satisfied at the end.

-Hi.

The man put his sword down on the floor.

The man’s faint smile at the end.

The memory of the sword has come to an end.

**

“…”

My head hurts.

What did I just see?

Buck and go.

Ah. I’m sure now…

The surrounding landscape is blurry.

A doll of a person standing in front of you.

Ah. It was during an exam.

But what’s on my mind right now.

It was only the figure of a certain man.

“…Wait, are you okay?”

A voice is heard.

As usual, he would have replied with a smile asking what he meant.

I can’t think of anything right now.

Raise the sword.

“What is it? Are you the type who can’t hear what’s around you when you concentrate?”

Professor Kamir took up his stance again.

“Okay.. Where did…”

The tip of the sword was shaking quietly.

Men’s.

The hero’s last sword.

The sword was cut down.

-Seokkul.

“… Huh?”

You can’t think of it as a training sword.

A clean blow that doesn’t even feel the touch of cutting something.

‘…The head.’

That blow last.

I lost the thread of my mind that I was barely holding on to.
