Chapter 56 - 33. Water lily (2)

It would be safe to say that both Elnor and Elijah reached the height of elegance in the realm of swordsmanship.

One is a man who can destroy the world, and the other is a man who can save the world.

So, the lesson I am mulling over this time also comes from that fact.

That your own talent and the talent of teaching others are completely different.

"Then why is there a back step there! No, use the thing called the brain stuck in the head!"

"Do you really call this kind of swordsmanship? This sounds more like flirting than fighting. Are you trying to seduce the enemy?"

"…"

Watching the two of them hitting and beating like that with a bloody expression made my head throb.

To be precise, both of them are having a heated discussion about my 'curriculum'.

I'm so passionate that everyone in the gym is looking this way, wanting something.

'…At first, though, it started a little amicably.'

At first, the discussion started with respect and courtesy towards each other, but now it seems that it has come down to personal attacks on each other.

'If you think about it, was it always like this in the scenario?'

These two, so.

in congruent by nature.

Lately, though, I've been thinking that maybe we can become closer to some extent through me. Even if it is a crowd, it must be a crowd for a long time.

The Duke of Tristan and the warrior.

These two are destined to confront each other until the end of the scenario. If you think about the settings, it's decided that way.

"…"

So.

Unless I can get in the middle of something, I will continue to do so.

'The further I go, the more I'll need these two.'

Even if you look at the Purifier boss battle, an item that should not have come out right now is about to come out.

It's because the further you go back, the more you don't know what will come out.

And the only thing that can definitively defeat a demon is a hero who has received the blessings of the same demons and angels.

That's because these two are the most reliable allies. The help of these two is essential for the progress of the scenario.

'…was there even in the game?'

Depending on the route, there were cases where the relationship between the two improved to a level where it became quite good.

However, if I want to directly use the 'situation' that has happened.

Inevitably I get a little dangerous.

Mainly, that is.

In the sense that a playboy could be killed by a woman.

Even hanging there are the final boss and the main character?

If you get caught, you die. really.

"…"

No matter how much I am in the position of having to set up a harem to prevent the destruction of mankind, I don't really want to do that.

Perhaps there will be an option to enter such a branch in the upcoming 'Observation Class' event.

'I should never do that.'

yes. don't even die

"…"

There have been times in the past when I thought about this and ended up getting into it strangely, but this time I never do it.

As I was thinking about that, a voice like that came from the side.

"Oh really! It's not like this, let's just do it ourselves! Teacher!"

"…yes?"

Having said that in an angry voice, Elijah suddenly placed a reverse bladed sword in my hand.

It's an iron sword, but it's a sword with all the blades turned upside down.

As I was looking at it with my eyes wide open, the guy fell down a little and proudly opened his chest.

"Try it once!"

Then, he drew his sword and kicked the ground.

inspection. It's probably the kind you developed on your own.

Free-spirited, practical, light and playful. However, the attack is as fierce and heavy as it is.

At first glance, it's just a group of erratic movements, but the flashing power of agility brings those movements together to the extent that even the engineering departments around them, who were devoted to self-training, looked at them with their eyes wide open.

"ruler! Did you see it?"

After the demonstration, Elijah smiled at me as he wiped away his sweat.

"Try it now!"

"…"

are you kidding.

"…teach me."

"…I learned this way?"

"…"

"Anyone can do it, isn't it…?"

The boy's voice gradually faded.

It must have been because he sensed that the gazes of the guys from the Faculty of Engineering who were looking at him were bewildered.

My head is pounding.

Are you proud to be a genius? What was the guy who said he'd been a swordsman instructor?

"…Dude, are you kidding me? They don't even have the basics of education."

Elnor, who was actually watching it, sighed and scolded him like that.

Then he drew his sword in front of me and took a stance.

"I'll start with the most important basic posture and teach you. From the first down."

Having said that, Elnor demonstrated a few simple movements in front of me.

'Oh, oh…'

From stepping feet, shifting center of gravity, detailed line of sight, and even the composition of the upper body. It is taught along with detailed explanations.

I wondered if this person would be in the same class as Elijah, but the teaching is more standard than I thought.

"Would you like to try it?"

"Yes, at this level."

Saying that, I grab my sword and try to cut down.

However.

"…"

"… Well."

"…uh…"

failed miserably.

No, this is harder than I thought.

I thought it was a simple downward slash, but in reality, all I could do was catch my staggering body in order not to fall.

Especially for a body that hasn't been trained like me, if you don't have a desperate skill, it's hard to keep holding the iron sword. Not to mention the continuous swinging.

The faces of the guys who looked around were ambiguous. If you look at it, you can tell you're a newbie, they'll at least look at you cutely. Because it's such an artistic failure, I'm like, 'What is this?' I want to feel like.

"…At this level, shouldn't we train our basic physical strength before swordsmanship? Wouldn't the lessons be meaningless? No, why was the person who beat the devil so well…?"

In fact, even Elijah said such a thing with a puzzled look on his face.

However.

"No, good job."

When Elnor said that expressionlessly, the expressions of everyone around him became bizarre.

"…Yes? Did I do well?"

"then. If it were me, I could use it in real combat."

"…"

Facing Elijah, who said the sentence, "What the hell are you talking about?" with a look on his face, Elnor sighed and drew his sword.

"Take a good look."

Standing in front of the training dummy, Elnor raised his sword while saying that.

"Suck!"

Immediately try to slash down with a light spirit.

However, it is not a straight posture like the person himself does, but a messy movement from one to ten like I did just before.

To be honest, I'm embarrassed to even say it's an action. It must be trying not to fall.

If it was originally, the sword that touched the front of the dummy would bounce off without doing much damage.

-!

-!!!

-!!!!!!!

The sound of a bomb exploding.

The pile was shattered almost to the point of powder, and the crater cratered as if a meteorite had been lodged in the floor, and the wall was incontinent in the aftermath.

"…"

"…"

Everyone in the gymnasium looked at him with their mouths wide open.

"Did you see it?"

Elnor said in a flat voice, retrieving the sword.

"There is nothing wrong with posture."

"…"

Having said that, Elnor continued without blinking an eye.

"So, this man will receive regular training from me starting today. Do you understand?"

"…"

"Doud Campbell did a great job. There is no problem with the educational policy or the quality of the listeners."

"…Hey, student president."

Elijah sighed and said.

"Something."

"Are you just forcing yourself to see the teacher every day?"

"No."

"…Does it seem right? What does a lecture mean to a person of this level in the first place-"

"I said no. Rebuttals are only accepted in a duel."

"…"

As Elijah narrowed his eyes and closed his mouth, my gaze was still fixed on the wreckage Elnor had created.

'…Does it seem stronger than before?'

Originally, the level of physical ability was formidable, but at least at this timing, it was not at this level to show dragon power.

There is only one hypothesis that can be formulated.

'How much has it been fused with the sculpture already?'

If the devil's bowl is going to go up in specs this rapidly, that's the only thing.

It is completely fused with the sculpture and begins to have body specifications and special abilities.

It's a good thing that someone who can be of great help to me in the scenario becomes this strong, but what's the point of liking it?

Especially if you consider how events inside games usually happen.

'Devil's vessels are greatly affected by each other's presence.'

Perhaps, if Elnorre had fused with the fragments like this, the vessel containing the fragments of other demons would also be affected by it, and the possibility of manifesting the demon inside would be greatly increased.

In other words, this is a warning sign that another 'vessel' is about to emerge.

In addition, it is also a catalyst that accelerates the entire main scenario.

'…This isn't the time to be relaxed.'

The Devil's Bowl usually appears along with the progress of the scenario.

That said, it is safe to say that the appearance of other vessels besides Elnor in the middle of Chapter 2 is almost inevitable.

in short.

It means that I will soon meet a powerful and dangerous woman who will surely become obsessed with me.

It means that you will be caught up in several events that could cost you your life.

In order not to die, getting stronger faster is practically a requirement.

'Swordsmanship is also swordsmanship, but I need to fill in some other things as well.'

If it was an urgent task, it would be a divinity-related ability.

The growth of the amulet is also growth, and the one that will increase my overall survivability and coping ability is also that one.

And, one more thing.

"No, insist on crying!"

"Hmm. He must have said that he would only receive a rebuttal in a duel."

"…because I can't teach you both, so be quiet."

He sighs and stops the two of them from hitting and fucking again.

The most reliable ally and what.

I understand that I cannot learn swordsmanship from these two.

Then, in the end, there is only one option left.

A target that can train swordsmanship and divinity at the same time.

"…You want a pass to the 'furniture room'?"

"Yes."

When I made that request proudly, Atalanta's expression became subtle.

"Do you know what's in there?"

"I've already met you once."

I ran into it once when I was bringing out Ultramar.

A swordsman who cuts through anything that comes within three steps.

Yuria Greyhounder. The final boss of Chapter 2.

And, along with the saintess, she is also a strong candidate for a 'vessel'.

"…"

okay. The final boss of Chapter 2 is not the boy king, but this one.

In many ways, the boy king is not something the player character can handle, so the actual final battle will be with him.

"To be honest, I'm not a good person to touch right now."

Atalanta sighed and took out the key.

Anyway, he seems to be accepting my request like a nobleman who listens to anything I say, but he seems to be unable to do so without giving me a word of warning.

"The existence itself is a risk factor that can trigger a war between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom. It's not like I hid it in an inconspicuous place in Elfante for nothing."

With a serious face, Atalanta continued the sentence.

"And, you know about the upcoming observation class, right?"

"Yes."

"During that period, members of the Holy Land, including the saintess, will stay in Elfante. This is the period during which Yuria Greyhounder has to lie down in order not to be discovered."

He smiled wryly at Atalanta's words and nodded.

Certainly, as for Yuria, if that existence rises to the surface, that itself is a disaster.

'It's exactly the sword you're holding, but…'

A national treasure of a prosperous country that creates a 'curse of severance' that prevents the other person from getting close to the other person even within its own distance. It's something he stole a long time ago and ran away.

As I've said before, it's also the reason why he does such crazy things that he cuts down anything that comes within three steps.

If YuRia catches Beopwang's eyes while holding it, there's a high possibility that there will be a lot of shit between the two countries.

That's how important it is in a prosperous country.

'…that much.'

As it is the ability of such an object, as the distance between herself and the other person narrows, Yuria's fighting power also skyrockets like crazy.

In particular, if the distance is within two steps, there is a high probability of defeat even if Elnor and Elijah attack at the same time.

The reason Elnor and Elijah's melee combat abilities are 'top-notch' and not 'strongest' is because of Yuria's existence.

'…'

The problem is that the national treasure of the sage country always brings a major accident to the academy in conjunction with the boy king.

It's also a key item in Chapter 2.

"So, I guess I should listen to what business there is. If it is dangerous, even I have no choice but to reject this request."

Atalanta said with a serious expression.

"The individual curse itself is very threatening, and politically, its very existence is a ticking time bomb. There are many reasons why important people like you shouldn't be in contact. It must be an action without any risk factors."

"Ah, if that's the case, I'm relieved again."

Even though Yuria is such a dangerous person, the work I go there for is not that dangerous.

It's just a way to rapidly grow my divinity and swordsmanship at the same time.

Smile and bring out the answer.

"It's nothing big, we're going to do some knife fighting."

"…"

"I plan to do that every day for the next week or so."

Atalanta's expression quickly deteriorated.
