I Became an Academy Baldo User

prologue

I swear I did nothing wrong and it's not like I was swearing at the author.

I didn’t even insult him. And It wasn't the criticism or critique of his work.

I just pointed out the inaccurate information and asked for correction…

Baldojae: "Thank You for your hard work until the end. However, I still do not change my desire to correct the historical research error about baldosul in episode 32. 

It is common knowledge that the frictional force is generated during foot movement and swinging and then it's converted into kinetic energy, resulting in faster speed and power than when swinging normally. Please, please revise the description of episode 32 for the writer’s honor."

[ TL Note: Baldosul here is the name of the sword art that which author is talking about. originally it is the koran name of Battōjutsu.]

┗Sword Master: "Ha… Now I don’t even have the energy to talk about this bullshit anymore. If you have such a scam about baldosul, try using it for yourself somewhere or try writing it yourself. 

But why did you even come into the novel? 

I really don’t understand?"

The world’s strongest swordsman

If there is a protagonist who is obsessed with a certain skill, the trigger will be dramatic.

When I was in danger, someone who used that technique accidentally saved me.

Or maybe the family studied the technique from generation to generation and naturally became like that too. or someone you respect uses the technique, etc.

if you think about it, there will be many. It would have been nice if that was the case for me too, but I just happened to see an anime character using Baldo because it was cool.

Insert the sword into its sheath, pull it out, and cut it.

Even though it was such a simple movement, why does that static figure make my heart pound so much? 

I was mesmerized by the contradictory figure that was as quiet as a calm lakeside, yet violent as a waterfall.

After watching the anime, I was drawn to anything that features Baldo, whether it be manga, anime, movie, drama, or novels

And the more I learned about it, the more I fell in love with it.

In the end, I was not satisfied with just seeing it in person, so I took action to actually learn the sword arts in real life.

The first thing I thought of was the nearby Kendo Dojo.

In most cases, kendo dojo did not teach the sword art of Baldo because they did not know what it was, but there were places where this was not the case.

The Korean branch of a famous Japanese swordsmanship school.

Fortunately, I was able to learn baldosul from the mainland without going to Japan.

However…

‘No, member!! It's not like that, is it?’

‘Yes? What?’

‘As I’ve said several times, but the baldosul is only for a surprise attack. Why are you putting the sword back in its sheath after firing?’

‘Because… Wouldn’t that make it possible to swing my sword faster?’

‘No, so why is that?!’

‘Oh yeah… Master, Don't you know that as a kendo master? that the frictional force generated when the sword is pulled out of the scabbard is converted into kinetic energy, so speed and force are added to the attack.’

‘No, that’s not right!! Because that’s not the case!! It’s stronger to just pull it out of its scabbard and swing it!!’

why can’t they communicate even though they obviously speak the same language? 

When I think of the events of the day, my heart becomes stuffy as if my prayers are clogged up, and I can’t stand it.

In the end, I left the dojo after only a few months and looked for another dojo, but no one understood my explanation.

I wonder Maybe it’s because they all have art and sports skills, but if they had studied science like me, they would have understood what I was saying.

Desperate by the cruel reality of not being able to accept the sword arts, I returned to my fantasy.

And after searching and searching for works related to sword arts, the place I arrived at was the Royal Academy of Sword.

This novel, which tells the story of a protagonist who was born into a family of a swordsman, and gradually grows into a hero while attending the academy, was famous for its high level of historical research.

And in addition, the setting is that the main character is a master of martial arts who uses all types of weapons, not just swords.

So of course, the weapon also included a katana, so my expectations only grew higher and higher.

However, contrary to my expectations, the long-awaited episode 32 features Katana for the first time.

[You don’t use Baldosul?]

[baldosul? Oh, the assassination skills of those cowards? There is no way to use such a frivolous and naive technique to surprise an opponent who hasn't even pulled out the sword.]

‘What, what?! Hey, this fucking bastard…!!’

At those words that seemed to be fighting head-on against the 50 Million Baldosul  Association nationwide, at the time I cried out loud.

[ TL Note: So baldosul or Battōjutsu is a traditional Japanese martial art that involves drawing one's sword and using it to counter an opponent's attack. The term battōjutsu is often used interchangeably with Iajutsu and battō. However, battōjutsu is unique in the sense that it combines both sword drawing and counterattacking. Furthermore, battōjutsu is less elaborate than its Iajutsu counterpart. This makes a popular style of sword-based martial arts for newcomers to learn..]

It is certainly possible that the sword can be used as an assassination in that way, but that is not the only way to do it.

Originally, I had nothing to say even if I had torn and killed the writer’s parents with bald dancing, but since I trained not only the body but also the mind, I didn’t do or say anything frivolous or nasty like swearing in the comments.

Baldojae: Author… You are good. But since the author is human too, you can make mistakes, so I tried not to point it out, but this time you went overboard.

Baldosul can also be used as an assassination technique, but their primary purpose is a deadly blow that does not tolerate counterattacks. Please correct this part.

┗Sword Master: Yes? what’s deadly?

┗Baldojae: A fatal blow. Isn’t it common knowledge that even children know that baldosul is a technique that uses friction-generated kinetic energy when the sword is pulled from the scabbard to cut enemies in an instant?

┗Sword Master: I don’t know what you’re talking about, but that’s only in the manga, but not at all in real life. I know because I’ve used it.

‘No, what did this crazy guy say he used?’

Since it's his novel, does he think he is a real knight?

The conversation of the day end there, but I continued to comment until the moment the work was finished so that this ignorant and undiscovered user might be enlightened.

Baldojae: Writer, I saw you well today. But episode 32 still hasn’t been edited.

Baldojae: Writer, I really liked the scene where the main character uses a katana today. But, why don’t you use baldosul?

Baldojae: Writer… Can’t you hear the main character’s katana crying? it keeps crying because it wants to use .baldosul.

Baldojae: If the writer edits episode 32, I am willing to pay twice as much as the sum of the 1st to 10th in the sponsorship ranking.

By the time the number of episodes piled up like that, it went beyond episodes 50, 100, and 200, and reached the end of episode 653.

Baldojae: Thank You for your hard work until the end. However, I still do not change my desire to correct the historical research error about baldosul in episode 32. 

It is common knowledge that the frictional force is generated during foot movement and swinging and then it's converted into kinetic energy, resulting in faster speed and power than when swinging normally. Please, please revise the description of episode 32 for the writer’s honor.

┗Sword Master: Ha… Now I don’t even have the energy to talk about this bullshit anymore. If you have such a scam about baldosul, try using it for yourself somewhere or try writing it yourself. 

With that comment in question, I lost consciousness. And when I wake up….

“Yeah!!”

I was a baby.

The time it took to figure out what was happening was less than 10 seconds with a little exaggeration.

[Baldosul] [Grade: F]

[The technique of striking the enemy by drawing the sword in its sheath in an instant, it is faster and stronger to wield it in the state of being fired.]

It would be foolish not to notice such an unscrupulous, historically incorrect letter in front of you. I was reincarnated with the strongest skill of sword art, and the name I received in this life was Ian Bartow.

And Our family title was a baron, and it was a humble family that barely reached the end of nobility, but it didn’t matter.

 With the most powerful swordsmanship, Baldosul. I can go anywhere

After my reincarnation, I was swollen in dreams, thinking that I would be able to see the end of the sword arts that could not be reached due to the limitations of my body in reality.

But unfortunately, as a baby, I couldn’t hold my neck, let alone use a sword is out of the line.

So, I had no choice but to be satisfied with my imagination until my body grew to a certain extent.

From there, the hellish days began.

I got the strongest skill called Baldo, but the irony is that I can’t use Baldo right now!!!

All I can do is imagine myself using Baldo.

That is how I have been training myself while sucking my mother's milk or pooping while always thinking of Baldo in my heart.

And years passed and by the time I was 5 years old.

“father! I want to get a sword!!”

As soon as I was able to control my body, I asked my father for a sword.

Read at https://readingpia.blogspot.com/

“What?!”

My father was taken aback by my bold request, but more than that, he was delighted to find out that I had an interest in swords.

“Yes, Ian!! That's what a man is! Right now, the one I used when I was a kid… .”

“no! Other than that, there is a sword that I want to receive separately!”

“yes? So which one do you want?”

“Yes! It is the katana, The weapon of the East!”

“Katana? No, how could you use such a weapon…”

My father seemed surprised when he heard the name of the most powerful weapon that was most suitable for the Baldo.

Of course, It was surprising to hear the name of such a terrifying weapon come out of the mouth of a five-year-old child.

“What… It’s not that bad of a weapon and it’ll be fine."

" All right, I’ll give it to you soon!”

“Yes!!”

And after a while, my father bought me two katanas as promised.

Having acquired the katana, I have been practicing the art of Baldo, always thinking of Baldo even in my sleep.

On a sunny spring day, when all things are revived, I drew my sword in the warm spring wind.

“Baldoo!!!”

In the summer when the hot sun heats up the earth, I drew my sword under the scorching sun.

“Hey… hehe… Bar, baldoooooooo!!!”

In autumn, when the leaves turn red and the joy of harvest overflows, I drew my sword while eating sweet potatoes.

“It sucks... Feet oh oh oh clothes!!!”

In the harsh winter, when everything turns white and everything falls asleep, I drew my sword while enduring the bitter cold.

“Bar, baba, dodo do do dot… !!”

[TL Note: Mc is speaking that because he is shivering]

I always thought of only Baldo, even when I was sick or even when my father died in battle, I continued to draw my sword without missing a single day.

[TL Note: Mc is too focused, god he did not skip training when his father died!!!]

As a result…

“Baldo.”

The black sword pulled out with a flash of light from the scabbard cuts through a huge tree with a deafening roar and shock wave.

[Baldosul] [Grade: B++]

[The technique of striking the enemy by drawing the sword in its sheath in an instant, it is faster and stronger to wield it in the state of being fired.]

After fifteen years of training, my Baldo surpassed the speed of sound and tore the wall of air.
