Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

“Eventually, this day will come.”

20 years ago.

Even though 11 master knights, called the pinnacle of knights, gathered, they couldn’t do anything.

And now, 20 years later.

Emperor Guanghui reached out his hand to finish the unfinished business.

“The fact that even me was offered an executor means that all the guys in the center already agreed.”

Cocoa watched the ship carrying the Top Swordsmen to the Crescent Islands before turning back.

Originally, as the great priestess, she would have to keep her seat in preparation for the big wave, but with Theodore, it would be okay.

I had something to check on myself.

“Arrange a train to Nightray right now.”

“all right!”

I guess I should meet Regina.

* * *

“First of all, is it a win?”

As much as Cocoa’s state of mind became complicated, Noah also had a lot to think about.

top sword.

At the festival of the late exponents who will lead the next generation, Noah heard many unexpected stories.

Of course, that didn’t change Noah’s life.

Noah wanted to make his grandfather’s long-cherished wish come true, and he himself was curious about the end of this swordsmanship.

In the end, all you have to do is train yourself as you always have been.

In that sense, the immediate goal is to win Top Sword.

“A second round win for you.”

* * *

On the boat to the Crescent Islands, Noah reconfirmed the contents of the second round with his classmates.

“Round 2 is about catching demon beasts landing on the Crescent Islands.”

A simple and clear way to catch the beast, get points, and rank.

“Basically, the main force of the Big Wave will be dealt with by the Knights of the Crescent Islands and the Coast Guard of the Imperial Navy. The guys we catch are the guys who escaped the defense line.”

Thiu spread out a map of the Crescent Islands and drew a line on the sea.

The Big Wave basically spreads a line of defense by hanging ships on the sea, and attracts and catches the beast like squid fishing.

Then, inevitably, there were monsters moving in the depths of the water, or those who returned from a distance.

Therefore, it was necessary to deploy troops on the nearby coast as well as the Crescent Islands, but this time Top Sword participants decided to cover the Crescent Islands.

“Are you saying we’re not fighting on the front lines? It’s a waste.”

“If it’s a higher round, there might be some guys who got through the first round by luck, but it’s impossible to put them into actual combat.”

Miho tackled Noah, who felt sorry for him.

If you had the power of the Night Ray, you could do your part in the defense line, but not all participants were like that.

“Of course, those who pass through the defense line are only a fraction of the total monsters. Fighting between contestants is not allowed in this round, but the competition will be great.”

“If it’s a battle of who catches the most, would the faster side have an advantage?”

“Those who know well about marine beasts will also have an advantage.”

Noah was not a style that focused on speed, and he had little information about marine beasts.

Even though the task of dealing with the beast came out, it was not particularly advantageous to Noah.

“I have no choice but to work hard as I regret.”

Noah left the cabin with the topography of the Crescent Islands in his head.

The 2nd round is an individual event after all.

The basic rule check was together, but the person who actually played the match was Ricardo, who participated as a helper.

For now, I was going to listen to Ricardo’s opinion, who is also the brain, but there was a guest who came first.

“Arni?”

“Ah, Mr. Noah!”

Arni, the runaway princess of Sanctum Keep, was being targeted by her escort knight.

Thanks to Noah’s discovery of this early on, he is now secretly guarding the Liberia.

‘I completely forgot to focus on the game.’

Assassin Rexie, disguised as Arni’s escort, was still by her side.

Noah greeted Arni, trying not to be conscious of him as much as possible.

“Your performance in the first round was amazing!”

“saw? oh this is embarrassing It was a piece of sh*t after all.”

“It’s a piece of sh*t! Was it huge?”

Ricardo, who was next to him, laughed bitterly at Arni’s reaction.

“I wish. Someone was disastrously knocked out in the first round.”

“Ah, ah. I didn’t mean that… … !”

“Noah, as soon as you came, you didn’t even care about me. Miss Arni seems to have a crush on you?”

“Aww… … .”

At Ricardo’s teasing, Arni grabbed a handful of her hair and covered her blushing face.

Ricardo looked at the scene and spoke to Noah in full voice.

-Does she really care about you?

this guy

It was clear that he was filled with thoughts of eating popcorn while watching other people’s relationships.

From noble mtl dot com.

– It won’t be a bad story for you either. In fact, she is the Master Knight of the Sanctum Keep, the North Sea Sword King… … .

-Your only daughter?

– Huh? did you know

– There’s no way the Empire can’t catch something like that. Rather, how did you know?

– Chit. I was also a bit nervous because all I ran into was passing by at an event a few years ago. You mean you already knew?

-If you knew, you should also join us in keeping it a secret.

If this side revealed it first, the position of running away from home could have been difficult.

Noah and Ricardo made an agreement to keep quiet until Arni revealed his identity.

Judging from the reaction, he didn’t bother to say anything about Lexi because he didn’t seem to notice.

‘Ribery will take care of that.’

In the first place, Noah was in a position to participate in the competition, so he could not look after Arni all the time.

“Both of them did great in the first round. A gorgeous workshop where fireworks and sparks explode! The highlight of the year must be that scene!”

“Hey, stop it. That’s a fight that I fought so badly.”

Ricardo smiled while waving his hand, so it seemed like he was happy to be praised.

Even though he could clearly see his true feelings, it was so obvious that Noah decided to help himself as well.

“Yeah, stop it. That’s just the highlight.”

Ricardo said, ‘No, this guy?’ I looked back at Noah, but that emotion immediately turned into curiosity at the words that followed.

“Because me and Ricardo are going to update the highlights again this round.”

“You seem to have an idea?”

“I remembered it when I said it was a highlight. Maybe the second round will be easier than I thought.”

Then, just as Noah was about to explain the idea, there was a person who started a fight next to him.

“Joe Oh Tanda. Is subjugation a joke?”

“That bastard, Vidal, is drunk.”

A man called Vidal was holding a beer mug in his hand and smelling like alcohol.

Judging from the fact that he was wearing a knight’s coat, he seemed to be an average knight participating in this big wave, but as you can see from his drunkenness, his strong physical skills didn’t look very good.

Noah quietly stood in front of Arni.

“Are you a Coast Guard driver?”

“Hey, look at this kid. If you meet the senior driver, you should start by saying hello. Look how stiff your head is.”

“You look drunk, but go in and rest.”

“Whether I’m resting or not, it’s my heart. Who are you to say this? Are you kidding me about the night ray?”

Noah’s expression rotted into the drunkenness that seemed like a painting.

It was clear that Vidal was a latecomer to the Big Wave, judging from the move with the Top Sword contestants.

The Big Wave took as short as 4 nights and 5 days, and as long as 15 days, until all remaining monsters were wiped out.

So, instead of holding out on the defense line, we continued the battle while resting on the Crescent Islands with a rotation.

Of course, since the skilled knights had to fight more, relatively less skilled knights were placed in the late stage.

‘But even if it rots, it’s a b*tch. This human is also a knight. And now it’s an official operation.’

He didn’t know what would happen to Vidal for arguing with civilians, but Noah could be in trouble if he messed with a soldier in action.

“You mean bastards who aren’t even knights. I’m already wearing a knight’s coat. uh?”

Knight coats were the exclusive property of official knights, and wearing them by non-knights was considered a felony as impersonating a knight.

However, Nightray students were allowed to wear a knight’s coat with the school emblem as their school uniform, and they were proud of it.

Vidal patted Noah on the chest as if he was not happy with it.

Vidal’s colleagues looked at him as if he was having fun, but did not stop him.

“What are you next to? foreigner? Are you crazy? He was a very alley leader with a woman and even a thief… … .”

Kwajik!

As soon as the object of the dispute went over to Ricardo, Noah’s hand reflexively stretched out.

A fist, like a flash war, was thrust into the middle of his face.

Vidal, who was drunk, did not react to Noah’s fist and collapsed.

“Ah, a mistake.”

“You, you son of a b*tch… … !”

I wondered if my colleague was angry, and I felt the trembling of the aura around me.

The foreshadowing of the intangible sword.

“Even these guys use intangible swords.”

Noah quickly put on self-defence and reached out where the intangible sword would be manifested.

The intangible sword created by Vidal’s colleagues was captured by Noah at the same time as it was created.

“profit!”

They struggled here and there to escape Noah’s grip, but the intangible sword that had been hit by the penetrating mirror had already lost control.

“Why can’t I just write?”

Crunchy!

Noah let go of the broken intangible sword and rushed at the opponent in an instant.

Noah reached the ground before the pieces of the intangible sword even fell to the floor, and as he was about to punch, someone’s hand blocked his fist.

“Do that.”

“Theodore?”

Paaang!

The belated wind pressure surged into the fist he threw with all his might.

It was a blow with a lot of power, just because he didn’t use his sword, but Theodore caught it lightly.

At the same time as he appeared, the knights who had been quarreling with each other became contemplative and took a stand.

Although they belonged to the Coast Guard, they belonged to the military.

In that sense, regardless of the unit under his command, the appearance of Master Knight, a general, was practically a death sentence.

“I have no intention of intervening in the management of other people’s troops, but as the person in charge of the Top Sword, His Majesty, I cannot just ignore this matter.”

Colleagues were not breathing and were at attention, but the fallen Vidal was still in a dreamy state.

Theodore kicked Vidal awake.

“Um, huh? What, oh sh*t, who kicked people and f*cking… … ?”

“I’m full, are you dissatisfied?”

Vidal, who was getting up in annoyance, met Theodore’s eyes and froze.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t understand the situation.

The killing that Theodore was openly shooting at made it clear that this was not a dream.

Vidal could only feel the dampness between his legs.

“Tsk.”

When Theodore saw Vidal like that, he clicked his tongue and turned to Noah.

“Coast guard discipline is out of the question. I’ll have to say something to the commander later.”

“sorry. Inadvertently, the fist went out first.”

“It’s okay. And I apologize to the two people who were caught up in this incident. You came all the way here, but you showed me something I wouldn’t have seen.”

“Oh, no… … .”

“I am okay.”

Arni and Ricardo were also dumbfounded by the sudden appearance of Master Knight.

At least Arni had met Theodore with Noah, but not Ricardo.

He was moved by the very fact that Master Knight had spoken to him.

“I will take measures so that you will not be disadvantaged in the tournament because of this, so don’t worry and focus on the game. I’ll give my warning to the Coast Guard so this doesn’t happen again.”

And Theodore went on his way as if nothing had happened.

What was left was the fallen Vidal and the knights at attention.

They were just staring at Noah, not moving.

‘Are you acquainted with Theodore-nim?’

‘He’s not from the 8th generation, so what is he doing?’

Noah looked at him and smiled wickedly.

“From now on, one person on a first-come, first-served basis.”

“… … ?”

“Only the first person to apologize will tell Theodore to forgive him. If you want to live, hit your head in front of your friends first.”

It was a truly evil laugh.

* * *

After that, while traveling by boat, Noah and Ricardo talked about the second round strategy and swordsmanship, and became close.

And when the ship finally reached the Crescent Islands.

Woo woo woo!

“A boat horn?”

“Urgent message from the maritime defense line! The big wave has begun!”

A full-fledged demonic wave began to roll in.
