Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

Travel to Sanctum Keep was, as before, a journey by train.

As usual, I was supposed to start with the driver in charge.

However, this mission is to be put in the middle of the work that is already in progress.

Therefore, Noah and Julius had to move to the Sanctum Keep on their own and join the Master Knights there.

In the process of moving on the train, Noah naturally had many conversations with Julius.

“I participated in this mission once, but it really got into trouble.”

“What?”

“Even though I didn’t win the position, I’m the head of the nightray now. This means that my failures can be seen as the Nightray’s failures, and my shortcomings as the Nightray’s.”

“Being number one also means being representative.”

“In that sense, I’m in a position where I have to make things go wrong, but even if I pretended from the beginning, I got caught up in a complicated twisted affair, so I won’t.”

“You could have refused. In fact, the head of the Sinclair family was against it.”

At those words, Julius looked at Noah curiously.

His eyes were still closed, but he would consciously perform the gestures of the sighted.

“I didn’t know you would say that. I thought it was a bit more arbitrary.”

“If you look at last year’s progress, you can’t help it even if you look at it that way. I’m not really a rebel.”

Although he bumped into rules and authority, he also bumped into evil habits and evils.

“If you suffer from a stuffy family since childhood, sometimes it’s hard to hold back your anger over trivial things.”

I said it around, but in the end, it meant that I had committed it because I was pissed off at meddling in everything in the house.

“It was never a good thing in terms of taking advantage of my parents’ difficulties.”

“I’m not in a position to comment on other people’s chores, but the head of the household will understand.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Julius, who had a strong image as a taciturn senior, was a more ordinary person than he thought.

‘It’s unlikely that a person who was even conscious of the fact that he had come to represent the Night Ray did so out of pure anger… … .’

Seeing him speak that way to Noah meant that he was well aware of how his hardness was perceived by others.

‘Also, I’d like to ask you not to be so difficult.’

He was a thoughtful person.

And that thought must have grown from the invisible eye.

‘Until I learned swordsmanship and developed a sixth sense, being blind was probably a problem.’

Since he was blind, he would have had to do even the smallest thing at his own peril.

You must have thought before you acted.

It was only natural, to a certain degree, that the tendency persisted even now, after overcoming sight.

“You must have heard about my father, right? Since you participated in the mission, you are also a party to it.”

“for now.”

“At first, I thought it was just a personal matter, but then I couldn’t explain why I even called Julius senior.”

If Cain had called Noah, it was understandable that it was for the purpose of seeing his son.

Then why did Julius sing along?

“I don’t think we’ll be of much help to Master Night’s mission, but I thought maybe they were called because they really needed the ability that seniors or I have. Do you have a place to go?”

“well… … .”

Noah’s ride and battle certainly had an irreplaceable effect.

It was confirmed that he could counteract the opponent’s ability with the skill of winning, so it might be necessary for the mission to follow the traces of the pioneer.

“As you well know, the Sinclair family’s swordsmanship is average. It’s powerful, but there’s nothing special enough to overturn the difference in realms.”

Of course, for most people, that strength itself is a feature.

Swordsmanship superior to that of Sinclair is rare unless you belong to the 8th family in the first place.

However, as long as the map knight was a master knight, that was meaningless.

“I wonder if maybe I am some kind of witness.”

“Are you a witness?”

“There is no need to explain that the Empire is currently divided into two major factions. Aren’t both our guide knights anti-war factions?”

On the other hand, the Sinclair family was the imperial faction.

Therefore, it was a story that Emperor Gwanghui called Julius to avoid forcibly blocking the dispatch by using his authority.

“I called you in the form of a practice dispatch, so I can’t send other knights with you. Isn’t that why you attached a student from the imperial faction?”

Julius ranks first in the nightray rankings and is the strongest among the imperial school students, no, among the current nightray students.

From noble mtl dot com.

At least that means nothing gets in the way of the mission.

“It certainly deserves it. But, senior, are you still okay?”

“I am personally honored to be able to participate in Master Night’s mission, and I plan to learn a lot from this opportunity. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any particular reason for wanting me. It’s something I can learn on my own.”

“indeed.”

A knight who is not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also has a personality.

Unlike Aslan, who was selfish, Julius was an exemplary figure who fit the spirit of the Nightray.

In the meantime, the train continued to run, and at some point entered the Northern Great Plains.

“Wow… … .”

A field of snow spread out of the window.

A pure white land with no end in sight no matter where you look around.

During the day, even the horizon that separates the sky and the ground is dyed white, making it impossible to see the boundary.

It feels like a train is flying through a pure white space.

At night, the snowfield illuminated by the stars and moon glowed softly, creating a contrast between the pure white ground and the black sky.

It was a dreamy sight, as if out of this world.

But the admiration is short-lived.

The companion, Julius, was a person who could not see such scenery.

“You don’t have to look at me to admire it. I don’t know how beautiful it is visually on the outside, but it’s beautiful enough sensibly.”

“ah.”

At that, Noah also closed his eyes and focused on his sixth sense, looking around the outside.

The endless sky, as if embracing everything, and the land filled with no gaps.

The aura of the snowfield where not a single footprint was left was shining like a large jewel.

‘This… … .’

Contrast between empty and full.

You wouldn’t normally see something like this.

There was always something moving on the ground, be it people, animals or plants.

If there is even one such thing, the nerves will naturally go in that direction.

However, there was literally only snow here.

This environment created by the harmony of nature inspired Noah’s victory.

‘The outside aura is different from mine. It wasn’t as technically sophisticated as my aura.’

Just as water flows from a high place to a low place, and wind flows from a hot place to a cold place.

It was more suitable for Seung to create a flow than directly control it.

Noah, who was immersed in realization, came to his senses after a long time.

Julius spoke to Noah only when he opened his eyes.

“Looks like you had an epiphany.”

“I guess the scenery outside was shocking.”

“You must be hungry because you skipped mealtime twice while concentrating, right? Shall we listen to what kind of realization it was while eating?”

Julius had been sitting by Noah’s side all day watching over him so that no one would break his immersion.

It was said that he was starving.

“I should buy this.”

“of course. I waited with the intent to scrape it to the bone.”

It didn’t matter how much money was spent. Because it was such a big realization.

‘I might be able to use something like a glacial blade now.’

The Glacial Blade that Veronica showed me was simply to create a sword technique that condensed all of her auras.

What would happen if you use the technique with a natural keeper with infinite aura?

Unlike the always-maintaining Black A, this is an attack aircraft that focuses on one-hit kills.

‘Shall we try it in the snow when we stop at the next station?’

However, the train did not arrive at the next station.

* * *

“I think it will take some time to restore the lines. It’s okay because I always have things with me, but the terrain collapsed altogether. Was there an earthquake?”

“Can that be restored?”

“We’re going to turn around and lay a temporary track that leads to the existing track. It can’t be helped that the operation is delayed in the meantime.”

Laying down the railroad network across the empire was a major undertaking, but maintaining it was also a job.

It’s much better now, but in the old days when the demon beasts in the country were not completely subdued, the demon beasts often broke the tracks.

However, in remote areas like this, there were many elements that could break the track, even if it wasn’t a magic beast.

“Is it because of the eyes?”

“The cause is still unclear, but it doesn’t seem like the Demonic Beast appeared. The detectors are silent.”

In the open snow field, it was easy to observe the movement of the ground.

Even if it hides, it’s harder to miss the beast because it leaves traces on the snow.

Therefore, if there is a monster, it will be underground, but the underground monster water sensor that measured the earthquake sensor did not respond.

“I’m sorry, but won’t the two drivers calm down the passengers? There are many people who are worried that the Witchbeast has appeared.”

“We are still students, not knights… … .”

“It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that if you’re one of the best two people in Night Ray, you’re already a knight. Currently, you are the only two people on the train who can be called drivers.”

There were also people on the train who could fight, as there were cases where they faced demons.

However, it was not a knight.

Night Ray was originally a knight’s sanctuary, so it was overflowing with knights, and knight troops were originally a rare resource.

It is not spacious enough to be organized in all vehicles.

‘Since Sanctum Keep is a place where star fragments are imported, it’s a good idea to put an article on it, but… … .’

It was also a truck job.

There were not many passengers in this car, which was a regular passenger train. It’s not even worth posting an article about.

Thanks to this, the only people who could be called knights here were Noah and Julius.

“It’s not even a situation where you can’t do it. As long as our presence can give passengers peace of mind.”

“Go, thank you.”

The train commander expressed his gratitude while wiping sweat with a handkerchief.

It seems that the complaints of the passengers were not the only ones.

“I once dreamed of becoming a knight, but I am still far from being a real knight. Passengers will be able to trust you.”

Only four people in the crew can fight.

Among them, only the train master was at the level of a swordsman, and the rest stayed in the realm of a strong sword.

It would not be possible to respond if several limited express monsters appeared while stopped, but since the passengers know that, the confusion seems to be increasing.

‘It’s great that even non-professional combatants can use swordsmanship, but is it impossible to replace a determined and trained knight… … .’

Considering the skills of Noah and Julius, this was an absolute gap that could not be crossed.

So, the two went round the train and met the passengers.

“Sinclair? Are you a Sinclair family knight?”

“Oh, I didn’t even know that this noble person was on the same train. Then it’s safe!”

The general public did not have the ability to recognize the knight’s skill.

At this time, the names of the 8th family were of great help.

“I’m an adopted child too, but would it have been better to sell the house?”

“One seems to be enough, so there is no need for that. Aren’t you also in an ambiguous position?”

The Lichtenauer family, befitting the 8th generation, boasted a tremendous size despite its stronghold.

If there were so many people, of course there would be people who didn’t like Noah.

There was no need to look like they were selling names from the start.

“The passengers calmed down right away, can we just wait?”

The incident seemed to end in such a simple happening.

Tuduk! Cranky!

That is, until the engine department flew away.
