Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

Rumors spread quickly that Sado’s freshman had dared to bet a direct descendant of the 8th family in a ranking match.

“I heard that Frank is having a ranking match with the freshmen of the apostle.”

“How can you be a top ranker? Did the freshman already qualify for the promotion match?”

“I heard it wasn’t a promotion match. What kind of challenge did you use?”

“What is he saying he just passed the promotion match?”

In Night Ray, direct ranking battles between top and bottom rankers were blocked.

In order for a lower ranker to rise, it had to go through a system called a promotion match.

It was difficult to simply beat the top rankers, but satisfying the promotion conditions was even more difficult.

As a result, the area around the 1,000th place was also the section where the most intense ranking battles took place.

Those who worked hard to become top rankers and those who struggled to keep their positions reacted to this news.

“A new system? then how are we going to be Should I be wary of other guys in the future?”

“How is the game going? Is it the same as the previous ranking match?”

“Damn, why are all the horses different? If this is the case, I will go and see for myself.”

“Arthur. It’s a direct ranking match, can I watch it?”

A lot of people were curious about this ranking match. However, Frank set the ranking match to private.

In the case of higher rankers, it was possible to conduct their ranking matches privately.

In the name of preventing the leakage of sword skills or strategies, if the setting was made private, other people could not watch the game.

It was common for the direct descendants of the 8th family to have private ranking matches like this, so no one found it strange.

“Can we know the results after a week?”

“Wait a week or so? As for the match itself, Frank would win. The direct line is no joke.”

Of course, even in a closed ranking match, a scorer will come out and record the result of the match.

However, the benefits of the changed ranking are reflected immediately after the match, but the notice of the change was made a week later.

In other words, general students won’t know the results until next week.

However, it was not that there was no way to watch the private ranking match.

“Youngest boy. Suddenly, a ranking match with a higher ranker, what is this?”

“Oh, Shiva is here. Since you came last, pay here with your points.”

“Eh? Where is that? In the first place, I can’t rent here because I’m down in rank because of you. Can I pay?”

“Ophelia has already paid the bill, so just give me the money.”

A VIP room located on one side of the spectator seats.

Black Moon students gathered here, where only rankers within the top 100 could rent.

In this ranking-first place, it was possible to ignore it with the authority of a high ranker, even if it was set to non-disclosure with the authority of a high ranker.

As soon as they heard about Noah’s ranking match, they immediately bought this spot.

“What about senior Aslan?”

“No. 1 is always busy. They say you can’t come.”

Shiva sat down next to Ophelia and munched on the prepared refreshments.

Ursula frowned at the sight of her drinking tea like a drink.

“Have you not eaten?”

“Are you looking at me for money? If it’s my money anyway, I’ll be less unfair if I enjoy the service.”

“Ah, yes. Enjoy yourself.”

Whether or not the two people on either side did that, Ophelia, caught in the middle, was sleeping soundly.

“anyway. I know our youngest got a challenge from Regina, but out of the blue, why did he use it on Frank? If it was her personality, I thought she would use it for Aslan-senpai.”

“I heard something happened, but I don’t know the details. However, the fact that Ribery put information control on it, well.”

“I almost fell asleep. Didn’t the maknae catch you for trying to play tricks on the freshmen again?”

For upperclassmen, the Ribery line was a well-known story.

I don’t know the details, but it was obvious that Ribéry was fooling around first.

“Apart from that, Noah. Did you make things too big?”

“It was Ribery who raised me. Now that this has happened, they must have wanted to bury Noah.”

Many people were interested in this ranking match, but few cared about the outcome of the match.

A direct descendant of the 8th family and a freshman whose name has not even been heard.

It was a battle where the outcome was decided without anything to look at.

Although it is possible to be born with great talent by chance, it is impossible to accidentally learn great swordsmanship.

Excellent people and excellent swordsmanship eventually become known.

In that sense, the 8th family had the weight of a name that had been verified and developed over a long period of time.

No matter how outstanding talent one has, it was not easy to surpass the name accumulated by numerous geniuses.

“How long do you think it will end? Ten counts under? over?”

“Of course it’s over. With that guy’s personality, it’s obvious that he’ll deliberately waste time trying to rob the other person’s money.”

However, all three members of the Black Moon were certain of Noah’s victory without any doubt.

“I am Under. Actually, I’ve told Noah before.”

“what?”

“If you want to see the swordsmanship of the 8th family, you don’t need all the others, just look at the traditional swordsmanship.”

The swordsmanship of the 8 families was the same swordsmanship in the end, even if there were changes tailored to each individual.

In the end, except for the strongest one, everything else is just backwards compatible.

If you want to see Ribery’s swordsmanship, you don’t have to dwell on Frank.

“but. The Riberies in school are all bad except for the two of them.”

Words that would have been treated like crazy if they had come out of the mouth of an ordinary person.

However, the ranking of those gathered made the words weight.

Currently ranked 72nd, Ursula.

I’m the 72nd Shiva.

And the current 15th Ophelia.

“Haam… … .”

“Oh, it happened.”

From noble mtl dot com.

“The game? it’s over?”

“It’s time, so we’ll start soon.”

The top ranking full of people from the 8th generation.

Among them, the 15 immovable people who have not changed their ranking for more than a year are considered the strongest to lead this generation and are evaluated as stronger than active knights.

Of the 15 immovable members, there are only two students from Sado.

One was Aslan, who was number one,

The other was Ophelia, ranked 15th.

“Ha -am, it would not be a war to wait like this.”

This generation of the Ribéry family was lined up between the superiors of overwhelming skill and the rest below par.

The lineage was definitely a monster that was evaluated as the highest level in the family, but everything else was not satisfactory compared to the names of the 8th family.

“The reason why the Ribéries are obsessed with their family’s influence is probably because they know they lack skills.”

“Honestly, the direct descendant bearing the name of the family is only ranked 844th.”

The ranking of 844th place belonged to the lower ranks among the top rankers.

From their point of view, who practiced sparring with Noah every night, the results were obvious.

“Frank is up.”

“Isn’t Noah coming out?”

When the scheduled time for the match came, Frank and the field scorer for the ranking match came up to the gym.

However, Noah, who had to come out on the other side, was still missing.

“You’re not mistaken for the time, are you?”

“Even though he only trained in the mountains and didn’t know a lot, he’s not an idiot.”

It was hard to think that he misunderstood the time by setting up a ranking match first.

Then there is only one thing I can think of.

“Frank, that bastard… … .”

* * *

Meanwhile, Noah is surrounded by five students in an isolated alley on campus.

Since the beginning of the school year, there have been many cases of quarreling, but this time Noah felt that it was not serious.

All five people surrounding him showed similar patterns in gait and breathing.

‘In other words, everyone learned the same swordsmanship. Looking at them, they are collaterals of the Ribéry family.’

They were all faces I had never seen before.

Meaning it’s not the same year.

“Are you a guy named Noah?”

“Is it something?”

“Leave school right away tomorrow morning and go back to your hometown and live a quiet life. And keep your mouth shut about this for the rest of your life.”

A command tone that comes out naturally without explanation or anything.

‘First of all, they’re not normal guys.’

Naturally, Noah had no reason to listen to that.

“It is absurd. If that’s the case, why are you telling me to drop out tomorrow? Just tell me to drop out today.”

“That’s because I won’t be able to wake up today.”

Chareung!

Noah was dumbfounded at the sight of him pulling out the knife first.

“Is this the only way to say that you are from the 8th generation and do it with that great swordsmanship?”

“This friend still has not grasped the situation. We haven’t been here today. You’ll also suddenly drop out tomorrow alone.”

“ha… … .”

Noah drew his sword.

“You guys jumped in first. If you want to resent it, resent the family that made you draw your sword.”

“under! You’re going to take on all of us by yourself? Your liver is swollen.”

There were five of them, and the opponent was alone.

Besides, I had already heard about Noah’s skills before coming here.

“You certainly didn’t use the intangible sword even in the crisis of Hell Week, right? In other words, it means that he is still at the level of a second-level swordsman.”

“Have you looked into that as well?”

“It would have been enough in the countryside, but it would be a mistake to think that it would work here as well.”

In Night Ray, most of the higher rankers use intangible swords.

Of course, due to the nature of the intangible sword, there is a big difference in level even within the same realm, but it means that it is possible anyway.

Therefore, not being able to use the intangible sword at all was also used to mean that the level was definitely lower than that of the top rankers.

Those gathered here are students who stand in the line of the Ribery family and aim for a high ranker position.

Of course, they were already able to use an intangible sword or were close to it.

With five such people, it was hard to imagine losing against a single Noah.

only,

“The real battle isn’t a competition for drawing good sword skills, right?”

A storm raged.

“Kuk!”

As soon as Noah started attacking, the student in the front got hit in the hand and missed the sword.

Those in the back immediately tried to stop Noah.

However, Noah used the opponent as a shield and took away the timing of the attack.

In the battle that started without warning, they missed Noah’s movements and spoke.

“This guy!”

“You’ve already pulled out the knife, what are you doing now?”

Nightray’s ranking match was nothing more than students competing with each other’s swordsmanship under rules and supervision.

To Noah, who was fighting for survival in the Masu area, it was just like shopping.

That’s why, when everyone was obsessed with winning and losing and was reluctant to compete with opponents, he stuck around alone.

But not this time.

“Ouch!”

“Ugh!”

“What is this guy! Are you really fast?”

In real life, the only thing that protects you is yourself.

There were no guards or anything to stop the game if it became dangerous.

To survive, you had to defeat your opponent, and you had to use all the elements available to you to defeat your opponent.

‘In a one-to-many fight, the opponent’s attack range is limited.’

Fighting five people did not require receiving all five swords at the same time.

By limiting the direction the attack comes from, it narrows the range in which you can respond.

‘And if I get a chance, I finish it right away before the opponent gets used to it.’

The difference in numbers created a sense of inattention.

They didn’t actively step forward from the start thinking that ‘the guy in front will respond’ to each other.

On the other hand, Noah was determined from the beginning and intended to subdue all opponents.

The difference was only one second.

But what if every action is delayed by 1 second in a real battle where you have to judge the situation and move every moment?

“Hey, let go of this!”

“yes. I’ll let you go!”

puck! dump!

Within a minute, five students were lying on the floor, passed out.

Everyone had swordsmanship skills, but Noah did not give them time to practice swordsmanship and subdued them.

“What kind of a fight did you use when you had no experience in combat?”

Carnivores often hunt herbivores that run faster than themselves.

Just because it’s faster doesn’t necessarily mean it’s advantageous.

How much more are you nervous in a situation where your physical ability itself is different because of rigid body technique?

If Noah had a bad heart, he could have cut them all down on the spot.

“It was an easy enough opponent, so I ended up suppressing it, but now what?”

Through the aura, Noah caught signs hiding around him.

A significantly higher level Aura than the five people you just subdued.

The guys who came first were the ‘those aiming for higher rankers’ whom Frank personally moved.

And now, the ‘higher rankers’ from the Ribery family were surrounding Noah and blocking his retreat.

‘The hidden ones are wary of me from the beginning and recognize me as an object to be hunted for sure. It won’t be easy to deal with like these guys.’

I didn’t know the opponent’s power, and the opponent came to me with determination.

Of course it is right to run away.

but.

“So it doesn’t mean that we buried the kids we didn’t like until now this way.”

Hwareuk!

Noah’s aura burned.
