Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

If you are a skilled player, you will be able to play well even if you see the sheet music you have never seen before.

But what would happen if we played the first note, one note at a time, and then showed the next note?

Of course, the performance will not be connected properly and will be cut off.

There’s a big difference between knowing what’s coming next and not knowing.

The students under Ribery who were dealing with Noah had to learn that with their own bodies.

“Aww!”

David, a descendant of Ribéry’s family, thought he would never step out when he was first mobilized for ‘freshman training’.

But it didn’t take a minute before Noah drew his sword and the idea was shattered.

‘What is that child’s true identity? It’s like we all know how to move!’

Noah’s strength or speed did not differ greatly from them.

The only difference is the tempo.

However, even with that one tempo, no one could use their hands.

“Monster, monster!”

In an instant, the ally is knocked down.

An incomprehensible phenomenon was happening right in front of my eyes.

One-sided abuse by a person who doesn’t even look particularly stronger than himself.

As students of the Ribery family, they had already met such a person.

‘It’s the same as back then… … !’

Those born into the 8th House and its subordinates knew each other well before entering the Nightray.

I don’t know about the children of other families, but if they come from the same family, they will stick together at least once from childhood.

From noble mtl dot com.

At the Ribery home, once a year, the children of each family would gather to compete.

When Ribery’s 9-year-old nemesis first appeared on stage, David, who was already 14 years old, was thinking of taking it in moderation.

At a young age, the growth of the body and the growth of skills were different from year to year.

The difference of 5 years is truly overwhelming.

There was no such thing as putting all one’s energy into a fight between an adult and a child.

‘But that day, it was us who lost.’

The nine-year-old’s strength and speed were, of course, weaker and slower than any other participant.

But no one could stop the weak and slow sword.

The difference in overwhelming talent that doesn’t even make you despair.

All participants knelt before the enemy of absolute skill.

‘It’s the same as back then!’

The Red Tong, who said it was annoying to deal with them one by one, knocked them all out in an instant.

It was the same with the person they are dealing with now.

“Are you the only one left?”

“… … !”

The moment David met Noah’s eyes, he became a rat standing in front of a snake.

No, I couldn’t even become a mouse.

The mouse will even run away.

Based on the moves seen earlier, dozens of defeats were associated.

If Noah attacked, there was no way he could avoid or block it.

Even though he is faster than Noah.

The experience accumulated over a decade has only taught him how to lose.

However, David’s imagination never became a reality.

“It’s scary.”

Took!

At the end of the stormy battle, Noah touched David’s chest with his scabbard.

It was a shock at the level of a night without any aura.

David sat down, and with it all enemies fell.

* * *

“Below expectations.”

Despite winning, Noah’s mood toward the stadium was rocking.

“Obviously, his swordsmanship skills weren’t too bad, but the things he did once the fight started. I didn’t see this school for nothing.”

It was quite shocking that the guys who were filtered out through the screening process were doing that.

They were also educated in a prestigious family in their own way.

would not be stupid

However, the name of the 8th family forced them to act foolishly.

Noah didn’t like that.

“Isn’t swordsmanship developed to protect people? But are you using that swordsmanship to persecute people?”

While living in Masu with his grandfather, Noah saw many things.

The poor on the frontier suffering from the witch beast.

Those who died fighting against the Witchbeast with their bare bodies to protect their families.

Children who survive the loss of their parents and learn swordsmanship for revenge.

The empire’s territory had grown too wide, and the number of knights was insufficient to protect all borders.

The place where Noah lived with his grandfather was, in fact, the place where the Empire gave up its defense and sent only the after-action team.

Grandpa settled there and guarded the entire mountain range alone.

He said he liked the place because there were no people and it was quiet, but he was lying.

In winter, it couldn’t have been a good place to seriously think about whether or not to hunt and eat monsters.

To Noah, who lived with such a grandfather, knights were those who protected people.

“I didn’t come here to see guys doing stuff like that condescendingly claiming to be the 8th generation.”

Frank has crossed a line he shouldn’t have crossed.

bang!

“sorry. It’s a bit late.”

1 minute before disqualification.

Noah kicked in the arena door and entered.

* * *

The moment Noah entered the arena, Frank was stunned, forgetting that he had to hide his expression.

‘You said you came after defeating all those guys?’

It was close to 40 people.

He was also aiming for promotion to a higher ranker, or was already a high ranker like himself.

‘I don’t think the roads diverged or anything… … .’

It was hard to say that Noah’s face was okay even with empty words.

Her clothes were torn, her buttons were off, and her body was covered in dirt.

It was a result that he did not hesitate to roll in the mud if necessary.

Unlike those who unilaterally gathered to take care of a freshman, Noah was seriously thinking of defeating his opponent.

The difference between those who have risked their lives and those who have not.

The difference in mindset produced results that could not be explained by swordsmanship alone.

However, from Frank’s point of view, it was difficult to think that Noah had defeated all 40 students.

‘Damn them guys! Did I miss it!’

He was out of shape and very tired, but he didn’t look particularly hurt.

Realistically, there was no way it would end with just being exhausted dealing with that number.

Therefore, Frank had no choice but to think that Noah had fled to this place after evading the personnel sent from Ribery.

‘No, I’d rather be. As long as it’s like this, I’ll step on it myself. That would be better.’

After winning the challenge, he asked his senior for a ranking match, but after a miserable defeat, he realized his worth and dropped out.

Come to think of it, this wasn’t a bad scenario either.

Frank could not have imagined that he, a direct descendant of the 8th family, would lose to Noah.

“You look bad, can you do it?”

“of course.”

“I don’t mind if the date is postponed. You can’t help it if you want to.”

Frank tried to lead the situation by emphasizing that he was trying to be considerate of Noah.

Noah jumped up onto the gym as if he didn’t care about that.

“Then let’s check the rules. The time limit is 30 minutes. If any part of the body touches the floor outside the gymnasium, it is an outboard. Other than that, it is unlimited sparring until there is unconsciousness or a declaration of defeat.”

There was nothing particularly strange about it, so Noah nodded in agreement.

No matter how much the 8th family, I personally couldn’t change the rules of the ranking match.

If you do, you will be checked by all the other 8 families.

Now that Frank has risen to this position, he can no longer use cowardly moves.

“Then begin.”

When the referee from the scorer announced the start, silence settled in the noisy stadium.

“As a senior, let’s yield the first move to the junior.”

At that, Noah snorted.

“The Ribery family’s swordsmanship is a swordsmanship centered on counterattacks that use the opponent’s strength. It’s a tearful consideration.”

“This guy… … .”

“Don’t be shy and go for it. Concessions are made by the strong to the weak.”

“I have to teach my rude juniors manners!”

Frank has been attacking Noah with a quick kick.

What I’m aiming for is the neck.

‘This… … .’

Even swordsmanship focused on counterattacks has plenty of advance attacks.

Being able to induce the opponent’s reaction in swordsmanship, where the overall design of the battle is important, was an advantage.

Now, if you avoid it, you will lose in the next phase, and if you block it, it will be an easy choice of embarrassment.

With poor skills, the game will be decided right here.

but.

‘I’ve already seen it.’

Quaang!

Noah countered the opponent’s attack head-on.

Attack, not evasion or defense.

The preemptive right is not handed over.

“I have seen that technique many times before. Everyone seemed to be worried about me, so they came and taught me.”

“this!”

Even though Frank was angry, he carefully maneuvered his sword without flinching.

Even if his mind is shaken, the habit built into his body is able to swing the sword on its own.

True to his name as a top ranker, his skills were not crap.

‘But he’s not my opponent.’

When Noah came in with an honest heavy attack, as is characteristic of the great swordsmanship, Frank said it was right and brought his sword as if clinging to it.

Then, the sword is formed in the form of a hook and the sword is entangled.

The basis of counterattack is to use the opponent’s strength.

It was Frank’s wish to stick together so that they could use each other’s power.

“Hey, you stupid bastard. It will be difficult to get out once you enter.”

“you also.”

Taking advantage of the opponent’s strength is the speciality of Ribéry swordsmanship.

However, in swordsmanship against monsters far more powerful than humans, draining the opponent’s power was the basis of the basics.

“Huh… … !”

Frank, who tried to use Noah’s power to subdue the sword, let out a sigh as he lost his strength.

Obviously, I used the opponent’s momentum to hit the ball, but there was no response as if I had thrown a feather.

Even in the midst of panic, the body naturally took out another link, but Frank’s attempt went back to vain.

“Hmm. Are you doing this?”

“Yes, your boy… … !”

After repeating it several times, this time, Noah’s side started to bet on the technique.

Of course, the counterattack didn’t work as much as it was Frank’s specialty.

However, Frank was even more flustered because he knew these techniques well.

Noah was learning the tricks of Ribéry swordsmanship on the spot by striking swords a few times.

“Profit!”

From noble mtl dot com.

It came as a terror to Frank, and he untied the sword first and fell out.

That was the difference between winning and losing.

“If you lower the tail first, it’s over.”

It was Noah who had been dealing with numerous Ribery students a while ago.

It wasn’t Frank, the top ranker, who was reading the numbers, but rather Noah.

Anticipating the move, Noah raised his foot and raised Frank’s sword to kick it.

Percussion!

“What?”

A skilled knight never lets go of his sword no matter what.

Frank did not let go of his sword despite the shock from below.

As a result, Frank was in a posture with his arms raised.

The gates of the stronghold were wide open.

Noah lightly put his fist there.

“Right to break.”

aaang!

Noah’s regime exploded on the body that was completely guarded.

Frank, who was bounced off, flew all at once to the bulkhead of the audience and got stuck in the wall.

“I don’t even need to use a sword to defeat you.”

blow.

It wasn’t even swordsmanship, it was just an auxiliary martial art.

Enraged Noah intended to present an unforgettable insult to Frank in this confrontation.

The reason why he was consistent with defense from the beginning was not to use swordsmanship, but to finish off his opponent with power.

And the plan worked.

“Frank Outfield!”

The scorer immediately declared Frank defeated.

At that sound, Frank broke through the fragments of the bulkhead and jumped up from his seat.

“This, this! As for the outside… … !”

Enraged, Frank tried to run at Noah, but there was an In-Young who stopped him.

“Frank? Don’t be ugly.”

“… … !”

It wasn’t just one person who showed up.

“Rogelia, Miss Linaria… … ?”

Nightray had minimum and maximum age limits, but no specific age for admission.

Because of this, it was not uncommon for younger seniors and older juniors.

Noah thought he had gotten used to this to some extent, but he couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he saw the two people who appeared this time.

“child?”

Red hair that seemed to be burning red, and silky purple hair.

Except for the color of the hair, they have completely identical features that are impossible to tell apart.

Standing in front of them were the tiny twins whose crowns seemed as if they could touch their own breasts.

Although he did not look like a student of his age, Noah could not be reckless.

The aura that flowed from the two was never inferior to Oren, who was the instructor.

“Frank has troubled me. I apologize on behalf of the family.”

A girl with purple hair apologized to Noah.

“What about you?”

“I am Linaria. And this red child is called Roselia.”

“Sorry about Frank. I’ll send this guy back to his family and punish him separately. But you look very strong. In the meantime, are you keeping your distance from us?”

Rinaria ranked 12th in the Night Ray rankings.

Nightray Ranking 13th, Roselia.

He is the youngest of the 15 immovable members of the Ribéry family.

“Are you a top ranker now? Then, why don’t you play a ranking match with us?”

The twins who are at the top of this generation have proposed a ranking match to Noah.
