Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

Ice fog created by broken pieces of ice.

From noble mtl dot com.

Felix swung his sword to secure his sight.

Through the fog pushed back by the wind, Veronica’s shape was revealed.

She stood tall in her place.

In the eyes of others, Felix seemed to be showing the composure of a strong man as if he didn’t care what he did, but it wasn’t like that.

Noah saw right through it.

“The ice has been cut.”

The ice created through attribute conversion was a sword in itself.

The fact that the ice was cut means that Felix’s sword skill won in a sword fight.

“That Felix guy, did you really intend to win?”

“How is that possible?”

Noah and Carlos, who had just arrived, admired the sight.

There was an objective level difference between Veronica and Felix.

A step difference in the realm meant that there was a difference in the basic skill itself in addition to simply swordsmanship.

Unless it’s a special case like Noah, this is absolute.

It was normally impossible for Felix to cut through the ice.

“Veronica sprayed a wide area of sword energy to save her advantage. On the other hand, Felix focused all his power on his sword.”

“As the attack range increased, the density of the sword technique also decreased… … !”

“Even considering that, it’s normal that you can’t cut it, but Felix. I was determined and prepared.”

“You’re not going to win?”

“It’s still too early to predict victory.”

Felix’s sword skills are as sharp as Veronica’s.

This was obviously a great thing.

But that alone couldn’t win.

“I’m just standing on the same line with that. The battle starts now.”

As Noah said, the two people on the pitch had been staring at each other since earlier.

Veronica wasn’t sure how far Felix could cut.

Because Felix had to complete all the battles with one sword, it would be the end if he made even one mistake.

‘This fighting method will also help me to fight Veronica from now on!’

It was a method that he could follow as well.

Noah focused even more on the movements of the two.

It was Felix who moved first.

one step.

Stop where you stand and take in your surroundings.

and one step.

I looked around from my seat again.

one more step.

It was very slow progress.

Carlos asked.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Fight for territory.”

“huh?”

“You know the game that young children play, right? The situation is like that now.”

The stadium is currently covered in ice.

All of this ice was Veronica’s sword skill, and could be used for attacks whenever needed.

“Felix is now standing in a space filled with the opponent’s swordsmanship. You have to give yourself space to move.”

“But can you cut ice?”

“Even if it can be cut, there is only one direction the sword can go at a time. We must be completely safe in order to advance.”

If you cut the ice, you cannot block Veronica’s attack, and if you look at Veronica, your body will be pierced by the surrounding ice.

If an attack occurs while advancing, that is the end of the situation.

“Isn’t it like it’s already over? Why are you staying still, Veronica-sama?”

“Because that’s what Felix is aiming for.”

If you attack Felix while moving forward, Felix will of course leave the ice alone and deal with Veronica’s sword.

That was Felix’s goal.

“Once you hit it, that’s it. Felix can’t help the ice and loses even after blocking Veronica’s attack. But what if you beat Veronica with that one move?”

“no way… … .”

“There was a difference in the realm from the beginning. Felix thinks that if he can mix swords even once, that is enough.”

Even with a low probability, the possibility of winning itself was created.

That was Felix’s strategy.

Veronica was not acting because she recognized Felix’s thoughts.

“But at this rate, Felix will advance normally and reach himself. Now, what are you going to do, Veronica?”

Everyone is looking forward to Veronica’s next move.

“Suddenly, the temperature is sufficient.”

she suddenly opened her mouth.

“Opening flowers.”

Countless flowers bloomed on the ice that filled the arena.

A flower made of ice.

It was beautiful, but no one could consider it beautiful.

The petals of ice turned into ten thousand blades that attacked the opponent.

“Ice Manga (氷上萬花).”

The leisure to kindly teach the opponent the name of one’s technique.

But there was nothing to admire about it.

As the ice cartoon unfolded, everyone in the arena remembered Felix’s death.

It seemed that there was no way to survive in front of countless sword blades.

In fact, Felix was also not moving.

“Is this the end… … .”

Carlos, like the others, expected Felix’s surrender.

But his eyes were still on Veronica.

“No, not yet!”

At Noah’s cry, Felix disappeared.

Overwhelming acceleration to the point of being momentarily out of your senses.

All the strength he had saved so far was put into this one move.

“What speed… … !”

Flowers made of black energy blocked his way.

Each one is a flower of ice comparable to the swordsmanship of a fairly high ranker.

Felix countered him and accelerated even faster.

“Are you thinking of breaking through that!”

The siege of flowers runs on the loosest path.

If there is a flower blocking the way, cut it down to clear the way.

The rest is roughly covered by the body!

Countless wounds formed all over Felix’s body.

The blood that splattered from the cut froze in the air and turned into a red flower.

Felix didn’t stop.

No matter what kind of wounds you get, if you reach Veronica, it’s your victory.

Accelerate and accelerate with that one belief.

Block the flowers and keep moving forward.

Felix, covered in red flowers all over his body, charged like a wild beast.

At the end of the rush that seemed like eternity, finally one step to Veronica.

“I hope this is Felix… … ?”

however,

“No, it’s a trap!”

Mystic Eyes had seen through all of that from the beginning.

Veronica’s sword froze as she braced herself.

Extreme ice made from dozens of layers of ice, on a different level from previous ice.

Veronica’s ice sword severely cut Felix’s chest.

“Gagging… … !”

All the spectators, including the referee, widened their eyes at the huge attack that could lead to fatal injuries.

But Felix did not fall.

“how?”

“I instantly wrapped my sword around the veil and blocked it!”

An intangible sword created in an instant.

Felix blocked Veronica’s attack with an intangible sword.

But Veronica was already on her next move.

A blizzard started blowing.

“Ugh, a blizzard! You mean you can do something like this with swordsmanship?”

Carlos couldn’t believe what was happening before his eyes.

On the other hand, Noah, who had already seen that human swordsmanship could reach the sky, focused on a different point.

“I don’t know about ice flowers, but I can’t block even these tiny snowballs. Veronica intends to end Felix by tying him limbs.”

Sword spirits in the form of countless snow crystals swarmed in the center of the arena.

The snowflakes blatantly wrapped around the spot where Felix stood in the form of a hemisphere.

You won’t be able to move as long as you’re trapped in that sphere that crushes everything.

If that’s the case, it’s not strange to give up.

Everyone thought so.

Except for one person.

“This auror response… … !”

In the blizzard, Felix raised his sword.

ensuing flashes.

A cracked blizzard, Felix leaping out of the gap.

It was settled.

“I just went to get it and ran out of it.”

Felix’s sword, which was rushing at Veronica, no longer had any traces of it.

The movement was also noticeably slower than before, when it was difficult to follow with the eyes.

Even the cracks in the blizzard created gaps that Felix could barely get out of, which were soon filled up again.

When Noah and Carlos arrive, the game is already over.

Felix had exhausted all his auras in cutting through the blizzard.

Felix’s attack, which even disappeared, was easily blocked by Veronica.

From noble mtl dot com.

But Felix did not give up.

If you can’t do it with one strike, separate and three strikes.

The tenacity to swing the sword a hundred times or a thousand times if I could win.

He continued to swing his sword even after depleting his aura.

“A guy who was so shy… … .”

Felix, who said that playing a game in front of people was burdensome, was now swinging his sword without giving up.

It was what one might think of as an ugly struggle.

However, the force felt from Felix prevented anyone from thinking that way.

The arena was full of cold air from Veronica, but at this moment everyone was feeling the heat.

The same goes for her opponent, Veronica.

“With respect to your sword, I will finish it with the greatest blow.”

Veronica closed her eyes.

The blizzard has stopped.

The ice in the arena melted.

For the sake of an environment favorable to him, he focused all of his leaking consciousness on the sword.

And the moment I open my eyes,

“White night.”

The winner has been decided.

* * *

“Are you all right, Felix?”

“huh. Are you sleeping.”

After the match, Felix fainted on the spot.

Noah and Carlos hastily transferred him to the medical unit.

Fortunately, the doctor said it was just exhaustion and nothing serious.

“You?”

After confirming that Felix was fine, Noah went straight to Veronica.

The woman who consistently pressed Felix overwhelmingly had a bandage on one arm.

“It’s a bigger injury after winning. You’re not weakened by your injuries when fighting me, are you?”

“It’s okay. This is a scratch. It was definitely a shock at the last minute.”

The moment Veronica was about to finish with her secrets.

Felix’s sword shook once again.

“I thought I fully grasped the opponent’s skills thanks to the Mystic Eye. I never imagined that it would go to a new level there.”

“No one there would have known.”

No one would have expected that Felix would come to the very end and awaken his attribute transformation.

Thus Felix was defeated, but gained a valuable reward beyond victory.

“To think that a guy who hasn’t yet reached the stage of full mastery of the intangible sword will use attribute conversion right away.”

“Are you saying that?”

Veronica said as if she was a little dumbfounded.

“I don’t know if I can’t use an intangible sword at all, but if I can use it, it won’t be strange if one day I suddenly reach an attribute transformation. Although usually that day is far behind.”

“Didn’t I say that even among extremely strong knights, strangely, there are cases where only attribute conversion is not possible? I think I heard from you.”

“yes. After the intangible sword, it is said that it is not a matter of training, but a matter of enlightenment.”

The intangible sword was simply a sword that could be used remotely.

On the other hand, property conversion required a completely new concept.

There was a case where a genius who reached the intangible sword at super speed was blocked from converting attributes, while there was also a case where the attribute conversion was performed as soon as he achieved the intangible sword after decades.

Of course, Noah was a special case where neither of them were applicable.

“Felix is strong. And it will get stronger in the future. I might have lost if I had fought from the beginning while awakening the attribute conversion.”

“You thought you couldn’t lose. from the beginning.”

Veronica answered Noah’s question in silence.

“I will be different.”

“I’ll be looking forward to it.”

Veronica laughed.
