Chapter 30 – 29. Talent
When the Magic Department’s practical exam was over, people were seen leaving the exam room one by one.
As Aris waited at the exit of the exam room to take Arthur away, she was thinking about the swordsmanship she had just seen.
How was Arthur able to use such swordsmanship? I don’t think I learned it from someone… If I could use that kind of swordsmanship, I could probably win against someone stronger than me…
While thinking about her swordsmanship, Aris saw Arthur coming out of the exit and went straight to him.
“Arthur! “You worked hard, it was really amazing, right?”
Arthur’s arrogance began to rise in response to Aris’ praise.
“What! “This is basic!”
“Then, can you tell me about the technology you used?”
After seeing that Arthur was feeling better, Aris asked carefully.
But Arthur will tell you, right? What if you don’t tell me it’s a secret…?
Aris came up with several ways to get Arthur to open his mouth just in case, but despite her worries, Arthur willingly gave her permission.
“I’ll let you know! But it’s not as difficult as you think. If you actually listen to it, it might seem empty.”
“Okay? “First of all, I have to go to the sparring hall to learn from you.”
“Sparring grounds? Okay, let’s go there!”
Arthur, who seemed to be in a good mood, took the lead and started to go to the sparring hall, and he could hear her humming something.
After a while, she arrived at the sparring hall, and Arthur took two swords from the display stand.
“Then let me explain it well!”
Arthur handed one of her swords to Aris, and she herself assumed the rider to wield it.
ㅡWedge!
Arthur, who showed a neat bell cut, began to explain.
“If you swing the sword like you just did, you can know the hit point, right?”
“Yes.”
“Using that, you can change the hitting point by giving an appropriate impact while swinging the sword!”
“?”
With a proud expression on her face, she said, ‘How do you like my explanation? It was perfect!’ As Arthur gave her the same look, Aris started to feel a headache.
“Well. I don’t think the explanation is enough, Arthur.”
“What you mean is parrying or deflecting an attack?”
In response to Aris’ question, Arthur shook his head and began to explain again.
“That’s not it, there is a flow when the sword is swung! “You’re touching that.”
“Flow…?”
By flow, are you talking about Geomro?
“Are you talking about the path the sword passes through?”
After hearing what Arthur said, he shook his head once again.
“No, not that, flow!! It feels like water flowing or wind blowing!”
When Aris still looked like she didn’t understand, Arthur patted her chest to express her frustration.
“Ha. Are you really Aris, are you stupid? “Why don’t you understand something this easy!”
“…”
Arthur. If I explain it like that, wouldn’t anyone come and understand it.?
As Aris stood silently, Arthur ran next to her and brought her a large leaf.
“Then I will tell you easily!”
“Yes.”
How are you trying to explain with leaves.?
After hearing Aris’ answer, Arthur threw the leaves into the sky and at the same time pointed her sword at a part of the floor.
“If you look at a leaf, it’s in the air like that and then falls here, right?”
“.?”
How do you know if a leaf falls there? Are you kidding?
“!!!”
However, contrary to Aris’ expectations, the leaf fell exactly in the direction Arthur pointed.
“If I were to use a metaphor, this would be the flow!”
But Aris did not hear Arthur’s words because of the shocking scene she had seen.
How is that possible? It’s quite windy right now and there are holes in the leaves, so it’s completely unpredictable…
“Arthur. I’m sorry, but how did you know the leaves were falling there?”
“?”
After hearing Aris’ words, Arthur began to make an expression like, ‘It’s common sense, but you don’t know this?’
“… I don’t know which part?”
“Um… From the beginning…?”
After hearing the answer, Arthur let out a long sigh.
“Leaves fall to the ground, right?”
“Right?”
“When the wind blows, the leaves fly away, right?”
“Right.?”
“Then you’re done! If you calculate that, you can see where it falls!”
“…”
Ha… Arthur, normal people can’t do that.
“I really can’t explain it more perfectly than this! “You understand now, right?”
“I understand what you mean, but… So you’re saying that you predict the falling point by taking into account things like the wind and the weight and shape of the leaves?”
After hearing Aris’ words, Arthur started nodding her head excitedly.
“That’s right! That’s it!! “You’re not a fool after all, Aris!”
I guess I understood correctly. There’s no way that’s possible, so I’ll never be able to use that technology.
Wait… Now that I think about it, what does it mean to disrupt the flow?
“Arthur, what does it mean to go against the flow?”
“Hmm… There are factors that affect the flow, right? It’s about making a change there!”
“I don’t quite understand.”
“Really. You don’t even understand this? “Cancel saying I’m not an idiot!”
As Arthur continued to tease, Aris’ anger gauge began to fill up little by little.
“Then I’ll show you with leaves.”
As he spoke, Arthur marked an X on the floor with his sword.
“I’m going to touch the flow and make it fall here.”
Just like that, the leaf flew up into the sky once again.
ㅡWedge!
Arthur swung the sword in the space next to the leaf, and the leaf, affected by the wind pressure generated by the swing, fell to the place marked by Arthur.
“Is this possible.?”
I think this is beyond the scope of what humans can do…? As expected, there is nothing wrong with the description of the skill.
Aris remembered Arthur’s skill called Nangjungjichu. It was written that she had the talent to turn geniuses into dullards, and that wasn’t really wrong.
Not only had she been never judged for her talent, she had only heard that she was a genius. Seeing Arthur’s talent in person like this made me think that my talent was nothing.
“Are you still not sure? Hmm. Then I’ll show you something else!”
Once again the leaf flew into the sky, and when Arthur touched the leaf with his sword as if grazing it, the leaf fell on the marked spot.
“How is it? “It’s a little easier because you’re touching the leaves, right?”
“. I think I roughly know what it means, I’ll practice separately later.”
Of course, you will never practice. Because I have no hobby of challenging myself with things that are impossible.
“It didn’t take me long, so I’ll be able to do it soon!”
Arthur’s cheering was clearly pure cheering, but it had a slightly different meaning to Aris’ ears.
Hmm… It seems like he’s teasing me, or has Arthur been heaping a lot on me lately…? You know I remember everything, right?
If Arthur had heard, she would have screamed that it was unfair, but her truth didn’t matter to Aris.
…
In a dark interior, two demons were sitting at a round table.
“Hmm. The fact that our loyalist No. 1 called me separately like this means that he only has something to say to me?”
“Yeah. The only one I can trust is you.”
“I understand there is still some time left before the plan… Is this due to variables that arose at the front?”
“Did you know, and how much did you know?”
However, the demon is stroking its chin and making an expression of uncertainty.
“Hmm. I don’t know the details either? “It means that the human forces on the front line are decreasing, right?”
“I guess it’s safe to say I know everything.”
ㅡTap!
As soon as the demons answered, they snapped their fingers, and a huge hemisphere appeared surrounding the two demons.
“Hehe, this seems like a pretty important story?”
“Okay… What I’m going to say from now on is important information, so listen carefully.”
“A few days ago, I met a human who wields powers similar to demonic energy. Surprisingly, he was so strong that I couldn’t believe he was a human.”
“It’s amazing that they use similar strength, but they’re that strong?”
“Yes, and he made me a suggestion.”
“They said they would draw the attention of the humans on the front lines, so they asked me to do one favor.”
“What did you ask for? When you say it like this, it doesn’t seem like it’s a difficult request.”
“He asked me to meet the Demon King.”
Upon hearing those words, the demon’s face began to distort miserably.
“Hmm. A human being who wants to meet the Demon Lord is so arrogant that I want to tear him to death. Haha.”
“So did you accept the request?”
When asked what decision was made, the demon answered with a calm expression.
“I accepted it. There is no need to keep promises to humans anyway, and it will be up to the Demon King to judge when he is resurrected.”
“That’s not what’s important right now. It means that the main human figures guarding the front lines are leaving for a while.”
“What do you mean.?”
“Okay, it’s time to put the plan into action. For the time being, there will be no problem even if our troops are reduced.”
“Of course, only you and I know this.”
Haha! Great. “Now I know why you called me!”
“Yes, you and I are the only Grand Dukes who serve the Demon King. The other princes will definitely try to kill the Demon King in the middle.”
“So, you go right now and bring that human. In any case, the other archdukes will not care about your whereabouts since you are weak.”
“This is a little disappointing, isn’t it? Of course, I am weak among the archdukes, but my abilities are-“
“It’s actually helpful now, so there’s no harm in it for us.”
“Haha, I understand.”
“Is a week enough time?”
The demon who heard this grinned.
“That’s enough. I’m already looking forward to it! I can’t believe I can see the Demon King again.!”
The demon’s face began to turn red, and when another demon snapped his finger, there was no one there anymore.
As if there was no one from the beginning.
