I Became an Academy Baldo User

Labyrinth and Puppet (2)

“Katana… .”

As I stood in front of an unidentified enemy with a katana on his waist, my vigilance began to soar to an unprecedented height.

It’s weird.

It’s just one word, but the sense of incongruity and strangeness felt from that thing in front of me right now was not something that could be implied with a single word.

Like Nana, it was covered in blue body armor, and it took the form of a human, but it didn’t feel like a human at all.

Having strengthened my whole body by flowing speculation through blood vessels, I tried to find out a little bit about him with my abnormally enhanced five senses.

There was a faint sound of a beating heart, but the heart rate was too low.

Reat at readwn.com

My heart rate is so low that even standing in such an unconcerned position right now is a miracle.

In addition, the sound of blood circulating through his body, which should have been heard if he was alive, could not be heard at all.

‘… What the hell is that?’

With a strange existence in front of me with both living and inanimate characteristics, I put my hand on the hilt and prepared for an unexpected attack.

There’s no need to say it because it’s natural, but you can’t feel Marina’s magic in that.

‘It was never made by Marina. If that’s the case, then it’s an intrusion from the outside… .’

Even at this time, there has never been such a bizarre existence in the original.

If I was holding a katana, I couldn’t forget it, so there was no room for misunderstanding.

An enemy that did not exist in the original work, that is, an enemy sent by a group that was created as a result of the possessor’s intervention in this world.

If so, what is its purpose? As in the original story, if it was aimed at the family of the swordsman, did he expect Lane to come first?

‘No, he saw me and said he was finally here.’

If so, what is my purpose? Or maybe I just spit it out because I thought Lane had arrived, and I was there by chance.

When you pause because your appearance and the words you just said aren’t enough clues to make an easy decision.

“… … .”

The guy, who made no movement except for the first time he spoke, suddenly started pulling one foot forward.

I tried to take a full-fledged position in accordance with his movement, but when I saw the position he was holding, my body stiffened.

‘That’s a bar, pedo… !!’

That posture with his hands on the hilt and scabbard so that he could draw his sword at any time was undoubtedly a posture of swordsmanship.

It’s not as good as mine, but I’m quite skilled enough to tell just by looking at her posture.

Faced with a formidable enemy like Peter and Nana in front of me, I felt like my head was going to go crazy with a boiling sense of victory.

‘finally… Finally, the one who uses the pedestal technique… !!’

The time has come to finally see the light of the tactics I made with the expectation that such a time will come someday, and that I will be dealing with a martial artist.

“Bahahahaha… !!”

For a brief moment, laughing at the joy of the dream being fulfilled, one possibility flashed through my mind when I saw his skillful foot-dotting posture.

‘Why didn’t you realize it?’

Shouldn’t I have known from the moment I saw the katana that it was wearing for the first time?

A new group aiming for the academy that was built under the influence of the possessor.

An unidentified enemy who uses a katana and uses a baldo, if these two are intertwined, there is only one answer.

“It was you… . You were the one who sent the knowledge of baldosu to the abyss in this world!!!”

“… … What?”

He tilted his head as if he didn’t really know if he was taking off the shichimi, but I couldn’t fool my eyes.

Seven possessors, including me, who were presumed to have fallen into this world.

One of the possessors, who used ineffective and unmanly weapons, realized the limitations of the weapons he supported and learned the art of swordsmanship belatedly.

However, if it ended there, everything would have ended well, but the guy who fell in love with the magic of baldosu didn’t stop there.

In order to monopolize the martial arts alone, he spread absurd rumors in the world, and even that was not enough, so he ended up eliminating the person who used the sword technique as we see now.

Like the Illuminati and Dips on Earth, they have been hiding the truth of this world countless times over the past hundreds of years.

What a wicked and elaborate plan this is. If it wasn’t for me here, someone who knew the splendor of foot swords would have suffered a tragic death at the hands of them.

“I’m right!! You wicked bastards!!”

“… … .”

The man, who was stabbed by the perfect reasoning drawn by my gray brain cells, said nothing and just stared blankly at me.

But for a moment, the guy suddenly started shaking and laughing out loud.

“Khahaha!! Kakakakat!!”

That laugh, which was too awkward for a human being, was unpleasant and made me frown.

‘Why are you smiling like an asshole like that?’

‘Kakakakat’ isn’t some kind of Japanese manga, is he deliberately exaggerating to hide his embarrassment?

“huh! It looks like you got stabbed in the corner!!”

“Kakakat!! stab what? I recognized him from the moment I heard that he only practiced foot swordsmanship, but he was a real madman.”

“What? What nonsense!! And stop laughing like an asshole like that!!! Are you going to make fun of me?!”

“Oolong thinks of me as a member of such an idiot group is oolong… .”

It felt as if the atmosphere of the man who had been reticent a while ago had changed.

The guy who stopped laughing and gasped for breath, apparently laughing out loud, said when he showed obvious hostility.

“I thought it was stupid, but it wasn’t all wrong, so I’ll give it about 30 points.”

“What? No, what the hell are you doing if you’re not from the Dark Foot Swordsman Association?”

“Two swordsmen are fighting each other, is my affiliation so important?”

“It doesn’t matter, you bastard! If you die in the middle of a fight, you won’t be able to gather information!!”

Apparently they came after me, so I knew that the possessor sent it, but I couldn’t figure out who sent it.

‘I was going to write Nanga, but… After all, it would be better to be captured by a young stroke here, right?’

He was not just a swordsman, he was a bit worried about a swordsman who uses the swordsmanship, but it is unavoidable.

Here, even if it was a little overkill, it was necessary to capture him and find out his identity.

Besides, this is just a baseless intuition, but somehow I also felt that Nang-a wasn’t a very good choice against him.

After taking the stance of baldo following him, I asked, preparing to do baldo at any time.

“You, what’s your name?”

“Are you fighting me? What name are you asking?”

“I’m planning on going alive, but if I die, I’m going to guess who it is by name.”

“… … It was like that before, but it’s a lot of confidence.”

Guess his self-esteem has been damaged, he looks at me with even more hostility than before, and says:

“It will never happen, but if you defeat me in this state, I will teach you my name.”

“Girl… .”

If I were captured, I would say my name even if I did not intend to say it, and in the opposite case I would not be able to say it at all.

“To wrap it up as saying that you are confessing after torture… You are surprisingly witty.”

“What torture… do not worry. No matter what happens, it won’t happen.”

I wondered what the true meaning of those words was, but in the face of that boiling speculation, I had completely lost the time to think about useless thoughts.

“… Goes.”

With those short words, he fired a katana from the scabbard at the speed of light, and I followed and intercepted his attack.

His katana and my katana collided, creating a shock wave that shook the labyrinth with a huge roar.

It wasn’t as bad as when he was attacked by Robo, but his arm was severely numb.

Perhaps it was the same with him, and his arm was making a bizarre sound that could not be thought of as originating from a human body.

“I thought he was just a madman and dumb, but he’s pretty good… .”

“Shut up, I’m not crazy or stupid!!”

While the two katanas were in a close battle without yielding to each other, the guy who saw my stroke said:

“You wear a weird katana. Can you cut someone with a katana like that?”

“I’ve already seen it twice and today will be the third time, so don’t worry!!”

After pushing him away with force, I led Yeongta to fire again.

Naturally, I thought that he would lead the katana in order to fire again, so I tried to take the moment to lead him… .

“I’ve lived for quite some time, but I’ve never seen a sword lead so quickly.”

Without returning the katana to its scabbard, he ran at me again with the katana pulled out.

Embarrassed by the attack that broke the common sense that I would lead after firing, I couldn’t fire right away and had no choice but to dodge the attack.

“Did you change your tactics because you decided that Baldo couldn’t defeat me!!”

“I’m sorry, but… No, I’m not really upset at all, but I guess that’s what it is.”

Apparently, he was more confident in other swordsmanship than Baldo, and attacks that were sharper than Baldo, which he first showed me, poured into me.

Seeing the skill and proficiency overflowing from the tip of the sword made me angry, but I had no choice but to admit that he was on a higher level than me.

If all the time to train this skill was invested in Baldo, what a terrifying swordsman would have been born… !!

Just imagining it gave me chills.

I couldn’t resist the attack and I was pushed and pushed, realizing that I was going to hit a wall soon, I struggled to somehow escape the attack.

However, the guy who had a foreboding of his victory swung his sword even harder and pushed me back.

If you hit the wall like this, there will be no room to use the foot sword technique, which is the only technique to get out of this situation.

It wasn’t that he didn’t have the swordsmanship that he used at close distance, but he was not confident in changing the position of the sword while avoiding this attack.

‘Is the last game a gamble? .’

As much as I could, I turned around with a feeling of turmoil and ran as hard as I could toward the wall.

Then, using the wall as a stepping stone, I jumped high and threw my feet towards the ceiling in front of me.

The ceiling, which had been hit with baldancing, collapsed and debris came out and poured down on him, but he didn’t care and waited for me to fall, cutting or avoiding the wreckage.

And as soon as the body that was floating in the air came into range, it did not hesitate and fired a powerful stab with the momentum to pierce my body.

“hahaha… !!”

Seeing the sting that seemed to pierce my body, I realized that the gamble had succeeded and smiled brightly.

“… … uh?”

It was right after he blew a stab that he made such a stupid sound with a puzzled expression on his face.

The man’s katana, which should have pierced my body, was led to the scabbard pulled out of the belt with him when he fired the sword, so it was no longer a threat to me.

“It’s not a circus… .”

Without letting go of the scabbard with his katana, I reached out towards Nanga.

Watching the scene, he hurriedly removed his hand from the hilt and sprinted away in preparation for the next attack.

“this… Can I think of giving it to you?”

“If you want it, you can give it to me, but… Can you handle it?”

“after… .”

As if in response to the provocation, I pointed the hand that had been outstretched towards Nang-a toward the hilt of this unknown katana, without hesitation, I fired at him.

However, there was no katana that was pulled out in a hurry and cut the man’s head in two.

“her… … .”

The katana headed towards the gnome’s head, and it didn’t take long before it got caught between his palms and stopped moving.

“It’s not a circus… .”

Grab the blade… .

Having witnessed the technique, which seemed to come out of a cartoon or a choreography, in practice, and in practice, I had no choice but to mumble the same thing he said a while ago.

‘What the hell is this bastard doing?’
