Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

Noah, who let the unknown sound go through one ear, first saw the reaction across the opponent’s distance.

‘I think manipulating the intangible sword is higher than Felix?’

Felix controlled a much larger number of sword weapons, but all of them moved in a certain pattern.

However, Mia was manipulating all six intangible swords in the air in real time.

In other words, it’s like fighting 6 opponents at the same time.

‘No, if you include yourself, there are seven people.’

Mia herself, who was holding a double dagger, was also exuding a ferocious spirit.

It wasn’t exactly emitting any momentum, but that was more frightening.

Even though he is clearly holding a knife in front of his eyes, he doesn’t feel anything.

The feeling that you know it exists, but you feel like it doesn’t exist.

That sense of heterogeneity signaled danger.

‘I learned the basics of daggers from my grandfather, but I don’t know what it’s like for a guy who specializes in that. I want to watch it for a while… … .’

Considering the opponent’s stealth skills, there was a high possibility that assassination aimed at one-hit killing was his main specialty.

First of all, don’t let anything happen.

I lost the first number fight at the point I thought.

“Where are you looking?”

“Oops!”

Lee Hyeong-hwan, unfolded in a situation where he was clearly watching.

Mia, who had already returned behind Noah, launched a surprise attack.

He hurriedly turned his body to block the attack, but there were still 6 intangible swords floating behind him.

Pababat!

An attack that flies out of sight. Defense was made simultaneously with awareness.

Throw shurikens behind your back.

The intangible sword evaded the shuriken and corrected its trajectory to fly, but the purpose of the shuriken was not to accurately block the trajectory.

Quick, Paaang!

The shuriken with excessive Aura injection shattered and splintered in all directions.

The shrapnel loaded with sword energy turned into cotton and blocked the attack.

Then, Noah broke through the range of shrapnel with his body to avoid additional attacks.

Mia looked tired of seeing her dodge his attacks, even jumping on a limb.

“You are quite tough.”

“Then you have very dry hands.”

Blood flowed from the cuts here and there.

Noah only wiped the blood that flowed from his forehead so as not to block his vision.

In the meantime, on the other hand, he continued to pursue the location of the intangible sword.

‘I think I know what you’re aiming for.’

Noah ran forward.

An intangible sword approached and pierced the spot where he was standing, but Noah was no longer there.

‘Two feet.’

Then another came crashing in from the right.

An attack that obviously tries to drive the opponent to the left.

Noah suited the intention.

As he turned to the left, two intangible swords were waiting for Noah.

‘Five feet.’

Cut off the front two feet and catch the one coming from behind with the body.

If he had worn armor or was good at swordsmanship, he would have responded comfortably, but it was inevitable.

Mia continued to distance herself, trying to launch a one-sided attack.

However, they were eventually overtaken by Noah, who rushed to the point of being attacked like a rhinoceros.

All that was left of Mia was a pair of intangible swords and two daggers in her hands.

Although he shed some blood indiscriminately, the conditions became more favorable than before.

Noah quickly dug into the opponent’s arms before the remaining intangible sword attacked.

It was rather advantageous for the opponent to engage in close combat with an opponent holding a long sword and holding a dagger.

Mia was agitated because she couldn’t read Noah’s intentions, but calmly blocked Noah’s attack and moved the intangible sword.

made sure of that

“Aren’t you able to do it at the same time yet?”

“… … !”

Even with the opponent right in front of his nose, Noah confidently turned around and grabbed the flying sword.

All of the intangible swords that Mia created were implemented with handles so that they could be grabbed and used in case of emergency.

If there was room, the one who sent it away would have formed only the blade part to prevent snatching, but Noah caught that there was a tumult in Mia’s reaction.

Mia, who moves the intangible sword, slows down her movements.

Thanks to this, Noah was able to show his back and not be attacked.

“It was a good move. but.”

Mia canceled all the intangible swords she created.

And by regenerating again, Noah created a situation surrounded by six intangible swords.

“I’m guessing you’re not used to this tactic yet.”

“No, I was aiming for this from the beginning.”

Whirik!

Noah turned around in place,

Saaa!

After that, the traces of pitch-black swords covered all directions.

A black wave that filled my vision swept past the intangible sword that Mia had created.

Everything that was swept away by the black waves was destroyed.

Mia, who was concentrating on the intangible sword, was shocked by the impact.

pause for a moment.

However, when Mia recovered her condition, Noah’s sword was already pointed at her neck.

“The technology just… … ?”

“There is no particular name. I spyed on my grandfather’s practice and made it after him.”

Noah pondered for a moment before adding.

“If I had to give it a name, it would be Dark Heaven. You can see it as Heukcheon Ah (亞).”

Noah’s grandfather covered the sky with swords as he performed this technique.

It was a simple yet accurate name, considering the memory of the time when daylight turned into night in an instant.

So, by chance, Noah didn’t think that the name he had just come up with would be the same as the original name for the technique, and that Mia would know the swordsmanship.

‘It must have been like that.’

Mia recognized the identity of Noah’s grandfather.

Why is Noah so strong when he can’t even use an intangible sword?

Also, even with such skills, how could it have been that his name was not known until now?

All questions were resolved at once.

“This is my defeat. You’re not the kind of person I would measure myself to.”

From noble mtl dot com.

“All of a sudden after losing once? Since you lost this time, you must have known that you shouldn’t use the intangible sword like that, right? Won’t you stick around?”

“Of course, if we come together again, at least it won’t be like this. Is there anything else you need to prioritize over fighting me right now?”

“Oops.”

After checking the direction Mia pointed, Noah noticed that other participants were passing the second test one by one.

The number of people selected for selection was limited.

Now was not the time to be here.

“I’m sorry about the prizes I bet before the showdown, but I can’t give them away as they belong to the imperial family.”

“Well, I guess.”

“Instead, it’s fine whenever you’re off duty.”

“huh?”

“I will be happy to wait for you to call me.”

‘Then I’ll call every weekend and ask about dagger skills.’

Mia was about to leave the test room without even dreaming of Noah’s thoughts.

“Is the acceptance letter over there?”

“My job is to assist Veronica-sama. You can’t leave your seat to compete.”

Mia said as if she had suddenly remembered.

“Ah, for reference, my ranking is around 8,000th.”

“8,000th place? you?”

“Night Ray draws students from all over the country. Some of them, like me, are not aiming for articles.”

“Are there some people who aren’t rising in the rankings apart from their skills?”

“yes. Since Noah-sama moved up the ranks too quickly, it wouldn’t hurt to take it slow and look at the other students again.”

Mia left those words and melted into darkness.

Noah pondered what she had left, then opened the door and came out.

“The next passer is Noah! Hey, wait, why are you bleeding… … .”

The contest ended with Kuina’s panicked voice.

* * *

One week after the preliminary round.

All the retests of the 899th class ended, and Noah returned to repeated classes again.

“Oh, Carlos, are you also attached?”

“I almost died. After not sleeping for a week, he had to untangle the rope at the bottom of the lake and escape. If Felix hadn’t helped me, I might have fallen asleep forever.”

Carlos made a fuss about how hard the exam was and how he was doing.

Carlos, who was greatly helped by Felix during the exam, has followed him around like a chewing gum ever since.

Felix seemed uncomfortable with Carlos, who had not lost his tension all day, but he was unable to say anything.

Normally, other students around me would have noticed, but everyone was exhausted.

Since Felix, the party involved, didn’t say anything, the situation naturally settled.

“Everyone lives helping each other like that. Anyway, I’m glad you passed.”

“That’s right. If I had fallen from here, I would have lost face to you guys.”

Noah and Felix stayed on the island until the end when they ran out of pieces, and Tiu played a big role in finding a large number of pieces.

In the end, it wasn’t that important to collect the pieces, but if I fell in the end despite working so hard, I wouldn’t have anything to say sorry.

“Apart from that, Noah, what do you mean by becoming a high ranker?”

“Did you see that?”

After a week, it was also announced that Noah had defeated Frank.

Therefore, Noah’s name was stuck in 844th place on the current ranking board.

“What are you even talking about? It’s what it looks like.”

“It went up to 844th in just one week? If so, how the hell are you going to follow me?”

When Noah’s victory was announced, the impact was smaller than expected.

In the first place, it was a questionable match because of Veronica.

There were many who saw Noah’s victory as the result of a simple loss or foul play.

‘It’s better if it’s me.’

If the fact that there was a big difference in skill was revealed for no reason, it could become difficult to find only opponents for ranking matches like Shiba.

If you look easy, you will only receive a lot of low-ranking challenges that will not benefit you if you win again, but it was okay.

‘Because the opponent is more than enough anyway.’

Felix also seemed to have made up his mind about something, perhaps inspired by Noah’s ranking, but Noah, the person in charge, didn’t dwell too much on the ranking.

Rather, Noah’s interest was elsewhere now.

‘I said that even among the kids with lower ranks, there would be kids with different organs than swordsmanship.’

Wasn’t it because he had the knowledge of the wild that he was able to play an active part in Hell Week even if he was just himself?

Noah thought of those who thought swordsmanship was no big deal and didn’t care.

‘It’s a talent that can help.’

Among Sado’s classmates who were taking classes together, Sherry had said that she was aiming to become a blacksmith in the imperial family.

Teferi was a case that entered the Night Ray, where he could learn various rigid body techniques for a higher level of medicine.

I heard that Rebecca comes from a ranch and is good at horseback riding and swordsmanship.

There must be many guys with interesting talents even among freshmen with little interaction.

‘As much as I did a lot of other things, my swordsmanship skills are a little behind.’

If you lag behind in your swordsmanship skills, there is a high probability that you will not receive much attention.

If so, there might be unexpectedly many hidden gems.

‘If you do this well… … ?’

Noah’s brain, which was running tight, came up with an interesting answer.
