Swordsmanship Genius at the Knight School

A week after the demonic incident.

Noah met Regina in his hospital room.

“Are you feeling better?”

“I am fine now. It seems to be a mess because there are not enough hospital beds, but I feel sorry that I used a single room for no reason.”

“What do you mean? In the first place, there were only a handful of cases in worse condition than you.”

“It’s because the aura was killed, even though there wasn’t much trauma?”

“The ones who were more injured than you are mostly dead, so it’s true that they were in serious condition.”

Hearing that someone had died, Noah hardened his expression.

I had already expected that to be the case, but it was different when I was confirmed that there had actually been a death.

“Therefore, topswords are interrupted. According to your testimony, Narvaez is also a problem.”

Betrayal of Benjamin.

Narvaez, the 8th generation family, was to be directly investigated by the imperial family.

“It is not known to what extent it is intertwined. You will hide the identity of the witnesses as much as possible, but just in case, do not talk about them with your mouth.”

“All right.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Arni will be protected by Executor Theodore and Miss Cocoa.”

At that, Noah decided to ask what he was curious about.

“Why do you call Daemunyeo a teacher?”

“Oh, that? After all, Cocoa-sama was a visiting professor when I was a student at Nightray.”

Noah’s expression turned sour.

“Miss Cocoa is, in the first place, the one who has been a Master Knight for the longest period among the currently living Master Knights. Even if the location was the Crescent Islands, it’s not just possible to cut down a disaster-class monster in one shot.”

Cocoa was the first person to be ranked as the most skilled person in the current world.

“In my case, using the mind sword still puts a strain on my body. I’ve had a lot of work lately, so my back hurts, but I can’t believe I’ve made my way from Nightray to here.”

I couldn’t even say I couldn’t do it because cocoa pushed me with jjambab.

“You’ve been writing a lot lately. Did you take a break because it was vacation?”

“One of the seniors said that he had an ejaculation. It looks like His Majesty will punish you for this, but… … .”

It was pretty laid-back for that kind of thing.

“If you screw up, fire me. With Cocoa-sensei returning as an enforcer, there is no one to serve as principal without me.”

Regina then pondered over what she was going to say, but when she found a newspaper on the table, she said as if she remembered.

The front page of the newspaper featured the face of Master Night, who defeated Leviathan, a disaster-level monster.

For reference, from page 2, there were stories of students who took an active part in this situation, saying that they were hidden heroes, but in fact, the praise of the princess, Veronica, was all.

“Your Majesty will come to Havana personally for the Narvaez issue. You guys will also have a reward, so think about what you want to receive.”

“It’s a prize… … .”

Since half of the aura I had built up so far was gone permanently, I felt like I needed to take an elixir to build it up again.

“Is the break time over? Then I have to go to subdue the remaining monsters of the Big Wave.”

When Noah was about to get up to greet him, Regina pressed her down with her aura and kindly put her back down.

“Aren’t you still a patient?”

Then, before leaving the hospital room, I looked back at Noah.

“Oh, and this is the most important thing… … .”

“yes?”

She grinned.

“Good job. What a great job.”

* * *

After that, most of the people who fought together came to Noah at least once.

Noah’s condition was the most serious, so the others had already been discharged.

In the end, it was around the time when Noah wondered if he had to empty the hospital room.

“Daemumai?”

Cocoa came to see Noah.

“First of all, I would like to thank you for protecting the people as the great priestess of the Crescent Islands.”

She bowed her head to Noah without hesitation.

Cocoa decided that it would be okay if the Master Knight, Theodore, appeared even if a disaster-class monster appeared.

It wasn’t empty for long either.

Even in the original plan, it was planned to return on the second day when the big wave started.

Also, in reality, Theodore was a strong man who could slice through a considerable number of disaster-level monsters by himself if he received the support of the defense forces.

However, due to Benjamin’s betrayal, an unexpected misfortune occurred, and Cocoa, the godmother, could not be free from the responsibility.

“The words I said before the big wave started. Do you remember?”

“Before the start of the second round… … .”

“I said I would take you to the Promised Land if you proved your qualifications. The tournament has been suspended, but I can’t see that you’re unqualified for your heroic walk.”

He seems to have heard about it, but Noah had no idea what the Promised Land was.

Cocoa said as if she knew what Noah was thinking.

“You may be wondering what I mean. Without further ado, let’s go see it right away.”

The place she headed with Noah was the 4th island of the Crescent Islands.

The castle mine was also the deepest part of the underground.

“The floor is slippery, so be careful. The sixth sense does not work here, so if you scan your feet with only the sixth sense as usual, you will fall.”

Leviathan ran amok and the shaft was half destroyed.

The seawater was flowing in and the water was rising, but when Cocoa beckoned, tree roots popped out to clear the debris and suck up the seawater.

“This… … .”

“It is a sword. My heart sword, Daebae Manri Mugung Haegyeom, is a heart sword that handles natural objects.”

“… … When I think about catching Leviathan, it doesn’t seem like I’m just dealing with natural objects.”

“The ability of the mind sword itself doesn’t change once it’s decided, but it’s possible to become more proficient at using it. How many years do you think I’ve been dealing with this?”

It was the first time he had heard the explanation of the sword, and that from Master Knight himself.

Master Night’s sword was an important piece of information that was classified as a national secret.

Because of this, even in Nightray, there were not many things to study about the mind sword.

The Imperial Purple Sector is the only place in the world where you can officially study mind swords.

The rest had no choice but to listen directly to Master Knight himself.

“Simgeom appears in different forms for each person. And the shape largely reflects the sword path that person has walked.”

Cocoa, who has been training with Eterna and Spirituality who handles the aura of nature all her life, has obtained a mind sword that brings her closer to nature.

“Theodore is smart, so he got a mind sword that can make better use of the talent he already has rather than a new ability.”

“Then, Regina-sama?”

“A grudge against myself for not being of any help.”

“yes?”

“The strong desire to cut has created a mind sword that can cut anything. Ask yourself for details. It’s not something anyone else will do on their own.”

Cocoa was reluctant to speak directly, probably because it was related to the past.

“Anyway, you mean that the sword usually appears in the form you long for?”

“okay. The problem is that it may not necessarily be useful.”

Regina’s space-time insulation is powerful and can be used in various ways, and was one of the best swords in history.

On the contrary, that meant that other people’s mind swords weren’t like that.

“My mind sword is good for catching demons, but it’s useless in a one-person battle between Master Knights. On the other hand, there are cases that specialize only in one-on-one.”

In some cases, the mind sword was awakened, but in some cases it was completely useless.

Of course, at the Master Knight level, even without the sword, the fighting power alone exceeds that of the Knights, but it had to be seen that it lost its meaning as an asymmetric force.

“That’s probably why Regina wants to show you as many of her mind swords as possible. I hope that someday it will be of some help to you when you make your own heart sword.”

It seemed like it would be natural for Noah to awaken his mind someday.

Hearing such a story from Master Knight would have made an ordinary knight shed tears, saying it was an honor for his family, but the present Noah couldn’t help but rejoice.

‘I was so helpless against a disaster-level monster.’

As soon as you thought you were strong, you met such a monster as if you were still far away, so you couldn’t be arrogant.

In the meantime, the two arrived at the deepest part of the mine shaft, Moonlight Lake.

Cocoa asked Noah in front of the lake.

“You have completed the Ki of the Rise and Fall. Then do you know what victory is?”

“Sorry, but I don’t know. My grandfather said he would teach me when the time was right, since I might get into the wrong habit of rushing by myself.”

From noble mtl dot com.

I didn’t know that, so the contest was suspended, so I planned to visit my grandfather during the rest of the vacation.

However, Cocoa shook her head as if it was not necessary.

“The Ki of the Rise and the End is the stage of dealing with oneself perfectly. And victory is the stage of dealing with external forces.”

“… … !”

When escaping the Crescent Islands, Noah had helped Veronica and Ricardo with their skills.

Up until now, I had been thinking ‘I did it anyway’ with the feeling of being hit by the elemental tae during the runaway aura.

But now, according to Cocoa’s words, the victory of the battle was originally the stage of dealing with someone else’s aura.

“I didn’t learn how to win, but I can teach you about winning. That’s also true, because Seung was originally modeled after Spirit.”

“You mean Jeong Ryeong-tae?”

“Because the elemental tae, which deals with the power of Mother Nature, also deals with external forces.”

Cocoa put her hand on the ground.

Then the aura of the lake began to resonate.

“The imperial swordsmanship that can handle any attribute is the best, and the spirit that can handle the aura of Mother Nature is the winner.”

Following Cocoa’s words, the lake’s water rises and forms the shape of a sword.

A completely different method from the intangible sword, which only gathers one’s sword skills outside the body.

An intangible sword that does not use its own aura.

“The intangible sword in the end of the story is not one’s own aura, but it is formed with Mother Nature’s aura. That’s why you couldn’t use the intangible sword.”

The sword of water soon disappears and the lake splits in half.

The water of this lake, which contains a dense aura from melted star fragments, was opaque like milk.

The bottom of the lake that cannot be seen with the naked eye or with the sixth sense using an aura.

There was an artificially created door located there.

The cracked water poured out as soon as Cocoa lifted her hand from the ground, filling the empty space.

“Your Majesty will stop by Narvaez, so you have about 15 days to spare. Until then, enter monkhood, learn the intangible sword, and open that door.”

“What if I just swim and open it?”

“If that’s possible, it’s the end of the game, and you won’t be human anymore. Leviathan is the only entity that has succeeded in evolving through a rare chance among countless hellmouths. What do you think the rest of it would have been like?”

Moonlight Lake is not polluted due to its powerful aura.

Creatures cannot live in this lake, which is always perfectly pure.

To survive, they must control the power of the lake.

“I’ll come down and check with Theona Regina every shift, so try hard.”
