Chapter 460 – Reus Pleus
Wiing. Cheek-chul-chul-chul.
‘…I was impressed with Dre-hyung’s prosthetic arm yesterday. This bastard’s greatsword is no joke.’
Reus swallowed a gulp.
Although it currently has the appearance of a greatsword, it is an expensive item that can even take the form of a ‘laser gun’ used by strangers.
It is a very powerful sword that activates and assists in accordance with Ferold’s magic.
On the other hand, Rius is said to be strong, but supplies provided by the academy.
If Rius had a higher grade, he would have been given a better sword…
‘Well, that’s okay.’
This suits me
“I’ll gladly accept it. Rius Pleus,”
“…”
“And then I was convinced… A profanity unworthy of his disciple…”
Pooh. When Rius spewed out, Ferold flinched.
“Dre hyung. You curse a lot? Didn’t you know?”
“…”
“It’s like, he, he… If you call him that way, Dre-hyung won’t like it, but you’re mistaken…”
Aww-oh!!
The moment I thought my hands were numb… I flew up to the wall and crashed into it.
The signal for the start of the couple rings and the barrier that detects the fight between the two comes up.
“You wouldn’t say cowardly, would you?”
“Cowardly bastard.”
Rius trying to kill him.
I was preparing…But I didn’t see it.
Originally, it was fast, but it was swung even faster with the wind using the wind barrier.
“Ohh! What!”
“Rius and Ferold have a fight!”
“Then Ferold will win!”
“What are you betting on!”
Betting soon began.
No one would bet on Rius winning from the start.
If the two matched, Ferld always won, so now the main bet was on how long Ferld would win.
Sensing the barriers wrapped around his body to protect the students as evidence of the start of the match, Rius lifted his head and glanced around.
Jealous combat faculties bastards.
And the gold that exists today… And the inserts that don’t suit this place. Diamond next to it.
I’m watching this sparring.
“I commend you for your courage in taking the crowd’s time. You can’t even get away with this.”
“Heng.”
“…It’s rough today.”
He’s imitating Dre.
Rius frowned, saying that he had no idea how that nobleman could utter swear words so casually.
“Do you remember? If you lose… Ugh?!”
Rius, who had narrowed the distance before he knew it, aimed his sword at Ferold’s face.
Visor! Perld, who hurriedly blocked it, swung his sword at the same time, and Rius twisted his body in the air as if he were acrobatic and barely escaped.
“This guy…”
“Why? Are you saying that you’re cowardly because you cut?”
“…”
“And what if I lose? Disciple?”
“…”
Rius laughed and punched him in the chest.
“Why am I quitting?! I’m an asshole?!”
“…What?”
“Why am I complying with your arbitrary suggestion, you idiot! Damn it! I’ll just stick with you until the guy cuts me off!!”
“Force… Tsk.”
Ferold’s greatsword, who clicked his tongue as if he was done with it, made a wing. It changes with a clicking sound.
From a huge greatsword, to a long but thinned form.
“Done.”
Fuhwaak!!
A green stream of air gushed out of Ferold’s body.
The air flow soon completely covered Ferold’s body, and a sphere with a circumference of 3 m became a barrier.
The barrier of the wind.
A skill that is evaluated as perfect in all workshops and defenses.
“It’s a waste of time any more. Let’s end that ugliness quickly. Rius Pleus!”
Jjoong!
“…!”
Come.
The sword attack is coming with even more domineering momentum than before…!
Booooong!
Thinking that he would die if he received it, Rius ducked and barely escaped.
However, he was cut by the blade of the wind that followed him.
“Kuk!”
Back of hand. Forehead.
The back of his hand was fine except for the fucking pain, but the blood dripping from his forehead obscured his vision.
Ferold walked over to Rius, who was sitting down.
‘Now, is it now?’
No.
Right now, Ferold was in a position to prepare for any time, and there was no certainty that he could make it ‘successful’.
Let’s keep our distance for now.
That Jepoong’s barrier is just a barrier, and it’s no different from an attacking skill.
Even now, as Perld walked, he continued to grind the surroundings.
It’s like a mixer walking forward.
“Wow…!”
“That’s the wind barrier…!”
There was no other student who could compete in front of the already fast and strong Feroldra.
If he was an adventurer, he would be given an A grade, and even if he pursued his career as a knight, he would quickly become a master.
Because of that barrier, it was difficult to cut close, no, it was impossible, so I tried flying a sword from a distance, but it broke without reaching the barrier.
“What are you doing, Rius!”
“You bastard!”
Who doesn’t know what a crap is?
The power difference is clear.
However, as is clear, there is a way to fight.
Rius smiled and insisted on the fighting method he had learned on his own.
Indeed, Ferold felt annoyed.
‘The distance is not shortened…’
Rius is too good at controlling distance.
As much as the wind barrier was originally made of Ferold’s talent, it was highly efficient.
But even so, you can’t keep it on indefinitely.
‘Are you trying to drag out time, stupid…!’
Not indefinitely, but at least for a few hours.
But I didn’t like dogfighting.
He, Dre must be watching from somewhere.
I have to become his disciple, but I can’t be rude like Rius.
“Whoa…”
Ferold took a deep breath.
Just one minute.
Rampage mode.
By resonating with Zefeng’s barrier and his greatsword, he is in a state where he can cut very fast at high speed even though it lasts for 1 minute.
No matter the distance
Because Rius’s acrobatics would be laughed at, because his sword skills would be ignorant.
First of all, a test room.
Booooong!
“…!”
The sword pressure that deviated from Rius’s side grinded through the floor like a blender.
‘I like it.’
I think that he is watching, and my condition is perfect.
Now, it’s time to finish.
“You can surrender anytime. Rius Pleus.”
And.
Shuka kaka kaka kaka kaka kak!
The wind of death is coming.
“…!’
To the students watching from above, the attack felt both unfamiliar and daunting.
It is because it is an attack that they cannot even imitate, almost like a natural disaster.
“Wow…”
“Isn’t that a bit excessive? Rius won’t die… Huh?”
But.
Lewis was blocking it.
He swings his sword restlessly, and even though he breathes as if he is going to run out of breath, he doesn’t break!
‘Compared to back then…’
At that time.
When Dre cut through the Milky Way, the countless spheres that the monstrous rabbit, Almiraj, shot with the power of a forgotten god.
Compared to that time, it’s nothing…!
“…!’
Ferold’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
That…How do you stand it?
Rius Pleus was originally a tenacious opponent.
Every time I sparred, I always thought of a small but vicious and persistent animal like Ratel.
But now?
Not as much as ratel… It was like a shield made of hard metal like Agelia or Glat.
‘How the hell can I use my sword…!’
‘That’s a face that thinks!’
What how how
After all, the sword of the barrier of the wind is made up of countless small blades of wind, and it is enough to cut all of those blades…!
Compared to that Milky Way, this is…! It is nothing.
‘But why is it like that?’
In that one corner, there, the sword strike was strangely twisted. Is it a trick? Reus decided not to go there.
“Keugh…!”
Fast. Ferold gnashed his teeth.
Thud. Thud. Fereld, who approached in anger… Appeared to be full of gaps.
‘Now? Now?’
No.
It seems like he still can’t use ‘that sword’, and no matter how angry he gets, he’s the top grader. I will respond somehow.
A better opportunity will come…!
“Rius Pleus! How are you going to embarrass me!!”
“Ugh…!”
Ferold, who had accelerated the wind explosively and closed the distance in an instant, swung a sword wrapped in wind pressure.
But dodge it
Full of gaps.
However, don’t be careless Although the gap after swinging the greatsword is large, wind blades fly in as follow-up blows to supplement the gap.
These are the same blades as the one that Rius cut off earlier.
Shu Kaka Kak.
Every time Ferold swung his sword, his heart fluttered, but it was worth it to endure.
He even has a way to assist with a powerful one-hit, but he can’t swing his sword in quick succession.
As a result of his long sparring with him, Rius knew that Ferold’s hacking had a one-minute limit, and he knew that it was over.
It endured
In addition, I also knew that the period from swinging the sword to the next sword attack is long now that the buff is over.
Waiting for that term, when Ferold’s posture was greatly distorted, Rius smiled in repentance and stabbed his sword.
“Gap… Huh?”
“Admit it.”
Hoo-wook.
The wind wraps around Ferold’s body, forcing him to change his posture and swing his sword…?
A hidden number!
“You are strong. But, I am stronger…! Rius…!”
Originally, Perld would end in a way that would not seriously injure the opponent.
But…Now he’s about to launch an attack that clearly goes beyond sparring and breaks the student protection barrier.
He himself doesn’t notice it…!
‘You bastard, the fact that you’ve only been swinging one shot at a time until now…!’
The moment your mouth opens wide at the startling hidden number.
Reus realized.
..What?
But now, isn’t it now?
Now is the golden opportunity. A chance to wield that sword to your heart’s content, without both getting hurt.
But, if you fail… Maybe you die?
…
…
What is the failure
He always turns things upside down in situations like this.
Eight days.
Always.
I was strong in crisis…!
If you are his disciple, imitate him!
“Huh…!”
“!”
Rather, seeing Rius clashing swords, Perl de opened his mouth a little and smiled.
A good match, the same line came to mind.
Okay. He’s a guy to be reckoned with.
To wield a sword at this moment.
Even so, you are the one who wins…!
Everyone opened their mouths and watched the dangerous scene.
And.
Shook.
An absurdly windy sound.
At the same time, all noise disappeared.
“Uh?”
“What?”
“Kuh…!”
Rius, who had come down from the air, stumbled and sat down.
“Okay! Ferld! You won!”
“Finish it!”
“놈팽이 새끼! 어떠냐!”
Amidst the booing of the combat department…Ferld stood blankly.
He said he won?
Are those idiots blind?
No matter how quiet he was, didn’t he notice that the barrier of Zewind had been slashed away and his great sword made of hard metal had been cut in two?
Ferold blankly looked down at his sword.
A clean cut edge.
There is no exaggeration, it just seems like a windless sound that only brings results.
I know what this is.
Because it was the main specialty of the man Ferold admired the most.
“…”
I didn’t like to admit it.
But, if this was a real battle…If Rius hadn’t ‘watched’ it.
If he hadn’t waited for a situation where he would only cut the sword and the barrier, not himself…
It was creepy.
“…Heng.”
Rius, who was barely able to raise his upper body, was already weak in his whole body.
Lost.
It was satisfying nonetheless.
Finally, for the first time, he… Succeeded.
As soon as..
“Slicer!!”
Who are you? This voice. Couldn’t say
Because it was a familiar voice.
Before he could even turn his head, his body was lifted up, and his neck was pulled into a hug.
“This baby! You’re successful!”
“…Dre tongue… Instructor.”
Where have you been?
…No.
The place where the sword attack had unnaturally disappeared earlier.
It was the only place that was as clean as if it had not been touched by Ferold’s sword technique.
That was the direction Dre had walked.
No way…? Did you watch it from the beginning?
“Well done! When I was asked if I could succeed, I managed to do it!”
“Uh…”
Everyone froze at Dre’s delighted look.
I was surprised by the sudden appearance of a big star, but it was because that joy was unusual.
The delighted Dre noticed Ferold’s gaze and smiled shyly.
“…Ah. You did well too.”
“Yes, yes…”
“Uh… What’s your name?”
“…! Uh, that…”
You didn’t know your name? Didn’t you come to choose a disciple?
Embarrassed, Perl de quickly gave her name.
“It’s Ferold Blues!”
“Ferld… It was great. It was a waste. But… Let’s make Dalian a draw.”
“…Yes.”
Can’t respond
The same goes for what Rius looked at, and the words of a man he respected.
“By the way, Instructor Dre. Can I ask you something…?”
“? What is it?”
“That…”
Right before Ferold asked a question, Dre was patting Rius on the back.
Gold came with something.
“Ah. I’m sorry. Wait a minute.”
“Oh. Yes.”
After asking for forgiveness, Dre accepted something from Gold, and the students murmured.
“Huh? That…”
“The sword that Instructor Dre bought…!”
A neat case engraved with the heart family crest.
It made me guess that the long case contained a sword.
“I-that’s…”
Ferold’s voice cut off.
Dre picked it up and pulled the sword out of her case.
…It’s blue, it’s shining.
Know.
It was a sword that contained intense anticipation, enough to make Ferold’s sword look faded.
Famous sword.
And Dre gives it to Rius.
“It was so damn hard to make. Hey.”
“…Eh?”
“Tell me if you don’t have a sword, dude.”
“…Me, mine?’
“? Don’t you like it? If you don’t like it…”
“Oh no!”
Rius quickly snatched it away.
The sword in his hand whined as if it had met its owner.
“…Wow. It’s like a sword that was born just for me…Hmmmm.”
It sounded so cheeky that Rius cleared his throat, and Dre tilted his head.
“Of course it’s yours. I made it for you to use from the beginning.”
“…Uh?”
“I worked on it three months ago.”
It was made in the Chamber of Mind and Time, Dre nodded, not lying.
“Wait…You made it for Rius?!”
“Huh?”
Dre blinked her eyes at Ferold’s cry.
He thought for a bit and said.
“Ah… This is for Rius, so even if Mr. Ferold uses it, it won’t have much effect. Can you make one?”
“Ah, no… I can’t make you suffer like that…! Rather, three months ago for Rius’s sake…?”
So, what was the rumor about throwing Rius out?
Ferold could not stand it and asked.
“Aren’t you trying to kick him out of your disciple?”
“…? Who?”
“…”
“Am I?”
“Note…”
Ferelde put his hands together and stood respectfully.
“Why me?”
The combat faculty was quiet.
And Ferold spoke carefully.
“He-hey… He’s too…Weak…”
Weak?
Looking at today’s Rios, who can be called weak?
“Are you weak?”
“…Excuse me. I just…”
“Hmm… Well, I heard that there are many people who want to become disciples, but this is the first time I’ve heard of that…”
Dre let go of Rius and scratched his cheek.
“Mr. Ferld.”
“Yes…!”
“Are you going to throw away your disciple because he is weak?”
“…”
That, I don’t know
Because he himself had never been in the teacher’s shoes.
Dre said with an uncharacteristically benevolent smile.
“So, is that your teacher?”
“…!”
“Looking at your face, I think you’re like me.”
Dre patted the top of the head of Rius, who was sitting down, and looked around the combat department.
“I’ve heard rumors that you’re trying to become my disciple!”
In the midst of all silence and gulping, Dre declares.
“At least, I only have two students right now. And the best student is this guy. Rius Pleus!”
Disciple.
Reus looked blankly up at Dre.
“It doesn’t matter if he’s weak! There’s no one as nice and tenacious as him! That’s why he’s my student! Who’s going to say he’s not qualified?”
Watching the students become quiet, Dre added.
“Is anyone dissatisfied?”
“””Doesn’t exist!!!!!””””
Booming Combat Faculty’s answer.
Dre shrugged her shoulders and patted Reus on the top of his head, saying he’d hate this again.
“Come up to the roof in a bit.”
“…Yes.”
“It’s not appropriate to be polite”
“…”
Dre is gone.
It was like a storm.
Ferold stood still, then turned his back and walked away.
“Hmph. Was it like that?”
“Uh, huh?”
While the combat department was chatting with each other, Gold came to Rius’ side.
“These days, I thought I’d come here every day, but it turned out that I came to see my student, not me. How come you didn’t watch me, and I always wanted to disappear somewhere…”
“…”
“Don’t get me wrong. You’re just a disciple, not a family member.”
Gold, who said it as if he had promised, said as if he had remembered it as he was leaving.
“I made my prosthetic arm much more expensive than that sword.”
“…”
“…Maybe.”
Gold is completely gone.
Rius… Took the scabbard that Dre had left before he knew it, and mounted the sword.
It was as smooth as if it were his own from the start.
“…”
Wearing a belt on the waist and walking
I was still confused about everything.
“Woo Seung Lee”
“Damn it, mistress! Surprise!”
Also, Insus, who suddenly appeared beside him, giggled.
He put his hands behind his back and looked at Rius.
“…You…”
Honestly pretty
Even if you think of ‘secret’, Inseus is so pretty that you have to endure it.
As he looked at her, she couldn’t help but blush, and Insus giggled.
“I like Wooseung Lee as a friend~ That’s why, I can’t give him a rational crush~ My wife~”
“Damn it! I didn’t even expect it!”
“Ahaha.”
Insus laughed and looked up at her.
“Someone said that.”
“Ok?”
“My student says he’s been acting strange lately. He’s depressed and seems to be avoiding him.”
“…”
“If you ask others, it seems obvious, and they asked me to secretly find out about the family situation when we met by chance?”
“…”
“That’s all. I’ll go~”
Insus passed Rius.
“…Damn it.”
Reus rubbed his nose and endured his sore hands and forehead as he made his way to the rooftop.
Then he found Dre leaning on the roof railing and looking down.
…Ryunar is spreading.
Probably, no one but Rius would be able to come up.
“…Instructor.”
Rius approached cautiously, and Dre turned his head and… Groaned.
“A madman.”
Puck!
“Evil! Damn it!”
I just hit my head.
“No dude. Come up later means to come up after treatment. Who wants to come up right away?”
“Damn it! Damn haal!”
“Come here, Sasha.”
Dre heals Rius by blowing Ryunar into him.
“Kuh…!”
“Why? Do you feel it?”
“Damn it…!”
“Quack…”
Dre, who healed his forehead and the back of his hand in an instant, looked down again.
At the end of his gaze… He saw Ferold, who was walking helplessly.
“You’re a great friend.
“…Maybe it was.”
“…”
“…?”
Puck!
“Evil! Why do you hit me!”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
“I still feel bad!”
“What!? The heavenly master’s fist makes you feel bad?!”
Puck!
“Evil! Evil! Damn! Damn!”
Dre giggled at Reus’ defiant scream.
“… Ri Tae-sik is back.”
“Mang.. What?”
“You’ve been intimidated lately, haven’t you?”
“…Ah.”
Come to think of it, it was.
Dre wasn’t avoiding him.
Rius was avoiding Dre.
He didn’t change anything.
“Why… Ah.”
Dre was about to ask, but as if someone had heard something, Dre convinced himself.
“What, why. What.”
“Mr. Hack.”
“Hick”
Dre grinned as Rius pulled away.
“You, did you think I was disappointed because of that when you were beaten up and laid on your bed?”
“…”
“It was disappointing.”
“…Damn it.”
Dre put his hand on the nape of Rius’ neck as he murmured incoherently and pulled him closer.
Dre grinned as their foreheads touched.
“But, under those circumstances, I would have been more disappointed if I had left the woman behind.”
“…”
“Don’t worry. No matter what you do, I will probably forgive you and not expel you from your disciples. Why do you think it is?”
“…Why.”
“They are the teacher and the disciple.”
“…”
A sense of satisfaction and warmth that fills the heart.
Reus barely held back the tears.
“I’m… No big deal.”
“? Well. Talent is quite…”
“I want to live a normal life with a lot of pride.”
The village.
Even for my parents.
“For that reason, if there is something I need to betray my brother, I might betray him.”
Even if you send a favor, I may not be able to return it.
In order to live a peaceful life, the degree of trust can be abandoned.
He said it with that feeling.
“…Hmm.”
Dre thought for a moment.
“I know you’re a jerk.”
“Damn it…!”
“Well, I’ll forgive you for anything that’s not related to NTR.”
“…? Ent… What? Enthiaer?”
“… You bastard.”
Suddenly, I was hit in the stomach and turned into a ball.
It doesn’t hurt at all…! I don’t know how to do it, but it doesn’t hurt, I just get pushed out…!
“Damn it…!”
“You don’t know the contents of the same asshole?! Do you want to search?!”
“I don’t know, but what the hell!”
“Damn it? Damn it? Give me the sword, you bastard! I didn’t give it to that bastard…!”
“Where’s the point of giving away!”
“It’s ten o’clock here! Give it to me!”
“Damn it! Damn it!”
Like that.
Master and student had fun on the rooftop.
Then, at Dre’s suggestion to go get something to eat, I went down the roof.
“Hey.”
“Ok?”
“Dad…”
“…”
“No, nothing.”
Dre’s back, saying that, looked lonely for some reason.
Dinner.
I think it was a refreshing day in many ways, and now it was time to wrap it up.
Rius took a deep breath… And stood in front of the ‘liaison department’.
“Eh. Come on.”
The staff responded to Rius with a bright smile.
Originally, he was always in touch with his parents every single day, but at some point his expression darkened and he stopped coming.
Something, it seemed, had been loosened.
“Are you going to call home?”
“Yes. Home…”
Reus hesitated before speaking.
“Tell me to connect you with my dad…”
The contact network installed right next to Rius’s house, saying that he had no connection with anyone other than Rius anyway.
Soon someone got it
“…Eh. Dad. I’m Rioson… Damn it!”
