Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

It wasn’t the end with Felix’s elimination in the round of 16.

“Miho fell too?”

“The opponent must have been a top ranker in the 200th place.”

Anyone can apply for the Top Sword Tournament regardless of their current ranking.

However, since it was a tournament where only top rankers had participated before, those who remained in the selection round were also quite talented.

“Out of the 899 students, are you the only one left in the quarterfinals, me and Tiu?”

“It’s two out of eight, so it’s actually quite a score. Besides, since Felix and Miho were also eliminated in the round of 16, there is still a chance for a revival match.”

A total of 10 people are selected in the preliminary round.

All of them in the quarterfinals had secured the right to advance to the top sword.

The remaining 2 spots were decided by selecting 2 out of 8 players who were eliminated in the round of 16.

“Felix has been strong since the previous game, so he should be able to come up. Miho is… … It will be difficult if you don’t push yourself.”

“Because we’re not done right now.”

After being selected to the quarterfinals, all the remaining players were objective strong players.

In fact, among the 8 finalists, Tiwoo is the only one with a lower rank.

Excluding Tiu, Noah’s 844th place was the lowest.

Right now, even adding up the ranks of the opponents the two will face in the quarterfinals did not add up to 400.

‘And finally… … .’

Even Veronica, whom we will meet in the finals.

Veronica’s inaction against Felix was overwhelming.

The amount of aura, the skill of the sword, and even the ability to use rigid body.

All of that was more than Felix.

The reason Felix was able to even hurt Veronica was because at the last moment he exceeded his limits.

Even that was a situation where it was of no use if it was a property transformation other than water.

Felix’s sword blade was shattered in the midnight sun, and fragments of it flew through the cracks in the midnight sun.

Even if he could use attribute transformation, the difference in proficiency was too great.

That said, it takes practice.

“I don’t know if I can make it on time.”

Tiu looked at Noah, who was full of confidence, without saying a word.

* * *

Quarterfinals end.

Noah advances to the semifinals of Tiu.

Veronica’s opponent in the quarterfinals resigned due to an injury in the quarterfinals.

Thus, the selection match left only the semifinals between Noah and Tiu and the final between the winner and Veronica.

As a result, students’ interest in the semifinals naturally increased.

Noah and Tiu got attention like never before.

[Felix Meyer fighting!!]

[Quarterfinal 4, Princess Veronica wins by default!]

[Block B’s quarterfinal matchup is freshman vs. freshman?]

[Felix Meyer, the appearance of a new attribute conversion user!!]

[Unmoved 15, changed to unmoved 16? Ranking seismic shift countdown]

[Felix Meyer’s attribute conversion achievement is faster than Allen Meyer, who is currently ranked 2nd]

[Review of the top 16 matches in the preliminary round]

“The semi-finals of the preliminary round are freshman matches? The other is the princess?”

“I heard that there were a lot of participants this time, but what is that? Didn’t you manipulate the brackets?”

“What is manipulation? That’s because Regina-sama picked it herself this time, right? Besides, both of those freshmen are apostles, so what connections do you have to manipulate them?”

“Rather than that, isn’t Felix the jackpot? 18 years and 2 months to achieve property transformation. Among the current immovable 15 people, it is the second fastest record after the Ribery twins.”

“Did you see that guy at the stadium? I heard that it was difficult to get a ticket even with money due to the rush of applications.”

“I had class at the time, so I couldn’t watch it.”

“me too. To be honest, isn’t that enough for the school to force me to go on a field trip?”

With the round of 16 match between Felix and Veronica, the atmosphere in the school was greatly heated.

A high-level match that is not often seen.

Even the matchup between the princess Veronica and the Mayer family.

In addition, the match ended with the announcement of the birth of a new powerhouse.

It was a series of great events that no student could miss.

“Compared to that, I don’t have any expectations for the semifinals or finals.”

“Still, tickets for the final were sold at a very high price. You will be able to see Veronica-sama’s swordsmanship again.”

“The opponent is a freshman, so how can he properly demonstrate his skills? It’s crazy to spend money on a game like that.”

“Isn’t Noah quite worthy of attention? They say you’re the one that Veronica-sama takes care of.”

Other than that, ‘I heard he beat Frank too’, ‘Isn’t Frank weak?’ The same stories came and went.

No matter how much Frank is a person whose skills are lower than the rank, he is definitely ranked 844th.

I was strong in my own way, but I couldn’t help it here.

“Well, let’s see how much you do.”

* * *

“Hmm, is that why you chose me as your practice partner for the preliminary round?”

“You’re the best for practice, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, but.”

The upper round of the preliminary round, and finally the final where Veronica is waiting.

Noah felt he needed extra practice for him.

Black Moon’s seniors are excellent practice partners, but isn’t it okay to simply do this this time? I didn’t want to do it, I just wanted to do my best.

“Because there is no one in this school who is better at swordsmanship than me.”

So, the person Noah found was Regina.

He was the head of the nightray school.

“If you even thought about using sparring kwon for practice, you must have prepared something in your own way. Show me. I will rate you.”

From noble mtl dot com.

In a private practice field reserved for the school principal, Noah stood facing Regina.

Sreung!

While Noah pulled out his holy sword, Regina stood still.

There was bound to be a voice asking what he was doing, but Noah couldn’t point it out.

‘There are no gaps!’

Even though the opponent was standing still, I didn’t feel confident that I could successfully attack.

It wasn’t because of the value of the name.

A gap that is simply visible to the eye.

With that alone, Regina was blocking all of Noah’s moves.

“Don’t worry. I’m not stupid enough to do my best in map sparring. Will this be enough?”

At the same time, Regina’s sense of aura plummeted.

It lowered the effect of rigid body magic that was basically applied to his body.

Thanks to this, Noah’s eyes began to show gaps.

‘But if I stab him, he’ll get hit right away.’

It’s just that there are gaps where the opponent’s physical ability doesn’t seem to be able to respond.

This judgment was ultimately based on Noah’s swordsmanship skills, so it would look different to someone with better swordsmanship than Noah.

“I lowered my physical ability and aura to the same level as you. Of course, it’s just these two. There is no point in sparring with me if I act like you in swordsmanship.”

“yes. Then I will go.”

Noah rushed towards Regina quickly.

It was a momentary rush, but the sword was already formed on his sword.

“The expression of the sword skill is fast. But I can do it faster if I use your body.”

Regina swung her arm from a standing position and easily blocked Noah’s sword.

Even though they have the same physical abilities, they appear to be able to parry light attacks.

‘Have you completely knocked the power down? Is that his attitude?’

“Again, my body is at the same performance as yours now. I mean, in theory, you can do it too.”

Your limits are not just that.

Regina was saying this.

“Anything like this is possible.”

Kiyiing!

Intangible swords created from all sides pierced towards Noah.

number is eight.

Compared to Felix’s ring, there were far fewer of them, but the movement of the sword was much more menacing.

Tadadadang!

Noah hurriedly swung the black cloth and destroyed the intangible sword.

It was an attack that was dodged or blocked.

If you don’t destroy it in one hit, you will be hit by a follow-up hit.

That judgment was correct.

The problem was that judgment was the only correct answer.

Because Regina had approached and pointed a sword at Noah’s neck.

“Oh, even hiding… … .”

“Your judgment is correct, but your competence is still lacking. Well, that’s not bad. As a student, it is only natural that there is a lot to learn.”

“I don’t think you matched it at all?”

It was an intangible sword, an aura and stealth, and it was full of skills that Noah couldn’t use yet.

“no. it was adjusted Because it was all a skill you could use. Even the ‘intangible sword’.”

Noah opened his eyes wide at the words that seemed to know his troubles.

“… … Do you know about my swordsmanship?”

“If it is a concept. It’s the first time I’ve seen the real thing.”

Hearing that he knew his swordsmanship, Noah was speechless.

Regina smiled meaningfully at Noah.

“Who do you think paid for the letter of recommendation you brought?”

“You know Grandpa?”

“If you have learned that swordsmanship, you have to use a different method from other people to use the intangible sword. No matter how good your intuition is, if you follow what others do, how can you not do it with an intangible sword?”

“Then how to use an intangible sword… … ?”

“I don’t know the specific method. I’ve never learned that swordsmanship, so how would I know?”

The intangible sword Regina used was a method that followed her swordsmanship system.

No matter how much she is, she only knows that Noah’s sword skill has already reached the level where he can use an intangible sword.

I couldn’t teach someone a swordsmanship I had never learned before.

“I’ve guessed, but you’d better not listen.”

“that… … I guess so. If it was something that could be explained by someone else, my grandfather would have taught me in the first place.”

A stage that requires self-realization.

That’s probably why Grandpa sent Noah away.

“Anyway, the test passed.”

“A test?”

“Didn’t I say that if you disappoint me, you would be expelled right away? There are still some shortcomings, but I am satisfied. It would be worthwhile to teach.”

“… … ?”

“Then, now that the exam is over, shall we begin your practice in earnest?”

Fire!

At Regina’s words, countless intangible swords floated behind her back.

8,800 intangible swords, each with a different form.

These intangible swords, which seemed like a collection of all the swords in the world, were the reason why Regina was called the Queen of Swords.

“Garden of Swords… … .”

“I will clean up the bad habits in your body before the selection. A sword for practice… … Will this be enough?”

Saying that, Regina picked up a sword that resembled Veronica’s.

Veronica was the biggest hurdle to winning the tournament.

So, I was thinking of hitting Veronica first.

“If that’s the case, is it possible to do something else first?”

But Noah shook his head.

“Hmm?”

“Let’s go with this.”

“The sword seems to be used by your brother-in-law Thiu.”

Instead, what Noah chose was Thiu’s sword.

“Shouldn’t we start by practicing to defeat this guy?”

* * *

On the day of the semi-final match.

Although it was evaluated that expectations were low, the stadium was full.

“Since Veronica’s semi-finals were canceled, did everyone flock here?”

“This is unexpectedly popular.”

Standing on top of the arena, Noah and Tiu looked at each other and chatted lightly.

We were too familiar with each other to be nervous.

“If I win this, I’ll finally be able to face Veronica.”

“I’m sorry, but it can’t be like that.”

start of the match.

Noah leaned back and avoided the crescent-shaped blade that suddenly attacked him.

“An intangible sword?”

intangible sword. That’s a lot of skill too.

I knew right away that it wasn’t something I learned overnight.

“Wait, could you use an intangible sword? You never told me!”

“Did you forget? My swordsmanship is originally the type to analyze the opponent in order to win.”

The day Noah and Tiu first met.

Tiu had recognized Noah’s skills since the entrance exam and was preparing to beat him.

“I was the one who encountered Noah’s swordsmanship the most in Night Ray. Geniuses who only stare at the sky are caught in the ankle by the brute-force beneath their feet.”

Even while Noah was in contact with various people, Tiu had only looked at Noah and prepared to defeat him.

This is the fruit of that effort.

“Yes, it should come out that way.”

Noah smiled at Tiu.

The Tiu he saw was not someone who would always be below him.

The scarred hand I saw at the entrance ceremony.

There was no way a person with no desire to compete would practice until he became that kind of hand.

“Come on, let’s play with all our might.”

The semifinals have begun.
