Chapter 333 – Tryouts (5)
*
The downtown field, completed with Mina’s efforts, can only be used during class hours as the venue is limited.
With less than three weeks left until the friendly, it’s important to get used to it in this short amount of time.
However, there are only a few students at the academy, but one place cannot handle them all.
So, instead of Mina, another professor was teaching the class, and Mina was making a field in another place.
They say it won’t take long since they’ve already made it once, but it won’t be easy.
I thought that only the Republic of Korea Academy was serious about the friendly match, but the Korean Academy seems to be sincere as well.
After all, winning and losing every time is not a very pleasant thing.
In any case, the swordsmanship class this time was decided to be held in the urban terrain field created by Minah. I don’t know about the other classes, but class A is the best among those who use swords.
Well, it’s my first class in the field, so there’s nothing special about it, and I was training to adapt to it.
After all, you need to get used to the terrain.
You have to know in advance about alleyways, ways to go up to the rooftop, and places where you can ambush in order to use them in actual friendly battles.
I saw it the other day and confirmed it with Mina, but watching it leisurely like this feels different.
I was looking at the places I missed then, this time.
It’s a place where you have to use it all in turns, so even if you have some time left, you won’t have much time to actually use it.
Minguk Academy must have aimed for that too.
I was going over the buildings using the artifact, but suddenly Kim Si-young came up from below with terrifying momentum.
Let’s look nervously without knowing it. Kim Si-young grins as if it’s nothing.
“It felt like walking on air,” She said. Is it an artifact?”
“Oh yes. I got it from the dungeon.”
“You don’t have to be too nervous. Well, that’s it, and since you can’t use artifacts in friendly matches, I thought it would be better to tell you in advance.
“You say you can’t use it?”
“Wouldn’t it be so boring if the difference in equipment determines victory or defeat? Do you have personal weapons?”
“There is, but…”
At Si-Young Kim’s attitude of holding out her hand and asking her to give it to her, she took out the Blue Star Blade from her bracelet.
Blue Star boasting a blue blade, even though it was an artificial sun, she was shining brighter when she received the light from above.
It must be said that it felt stronger than before by eating magic power.
Maybe it’s because we’ve been together for a long time, but the taste was good.
“Oh. It is a good sword.”
That Kim Si-young also admired her star blade and swung it in the air.
Even though it seems to be swinging lightly, it seems that cutting the wind is not an ordinary skill.
She even channeled her mana to create an aura, and said with a pity.
“The magic conductivity is good, and the output is good, so I think this will be bad in a friendly match.”
“Yes?”
No, why is the friendly match so picky?
It seems that Park Hye-ji was holding three swords in the friendly match last year.
“Weapons used in friendly battles are limited. I don’t think I can use this beyond that threshold.”
“Is that going to happen?”
“I was expecting Cadet Kim Si-woo to be chosen. As a swordsman, it’s important to use a sword that fits your hand, so it’s better to prepare in advance. Oh, I see.”
Kim Si-young calls Park Hye-ji, who was climbing the wall next to her, and stops her.
Park Hye-ji, who was checking her surroundings, was skillful and climbed the wall and came this way.
Today, her movements are bold, but when she checked the bottom just in case, black underpants caught her eye.
Hmmm, he must have hidden a bear in there.
“What are you doing?”
“It looks like Cadet Kim Si-woo needs a sword for her friendly match. I was wondering if Cadet Hyeji Park could help me. I’ve seen them before and they both look friendly.”
“That… Not that friendly. Hmm. Well, this is your first time, so I don’t know.”
After saying that, Park Hye-ji walked towards me like a model.
She drew the sword she was holding and handed it to him.
“This is a weapon made for goodwill. It looks the same as the weapon I usually use, but the material is different.”
“The conductivity is low, though.”
This was the first time I had ever held Park Hye-ji’s weapon, and it was lighter than I thought.
Even though I had never used it, I had seen it used, but compared to that time, the magical power conduction seemed to have dropped.
“Okay. How about helping senior student Park Hye-ji with cadet Kim Si-woo?”
“Are you a senior? Ho Ho. Well, I can do as much as I want.”
Should I be concerned about this?
“Thank you. I have to check the other cadets too.”
After saying that, Kim Si-young jumped down the building. I flinched at her bold appearance, but she landed well on her own.
“You. You don’t know because you’ve never been like this. Ask this old man.”
“Are you a senior now?”
Park Hye-ji, who pretends to be a senior, as if she was hooked on the word senior, well, there’s nothing wrong with having a senior like Park Hye-ji.
Still, Park Hye-ji tastes like teasing.
“So. What did you wear today, senior?”
“Everything… If you keep saying strange things, I won’t let you go!”
“Yes yes.”
“Hmmmm… As a friendly senior, I’ll skip this much. I can forge you a sword if you need it. Kim Seong-tae, the master who made my grandfather’s sword, can make a weapon exactly like the original.”
“Thank you for doing that. After all, there is only Hyeji.”
“I don’t think there is any sincerity. What. I can do that much. So where are the weapons?”
“My weapon… ?”
Instructor Kim Si-young was holding it earlier, but she couldn’t get it back.
“Kim Si… “
“Ah. You forgot. I forgot to return it because it tasted so good.”
It’s a surprise, before I could even call, it suddenly jumped up from below and returned the sword and left.
It’s not a sudden jump, it’s popular, and it’s amazing to come up here again.
“Is this it? Hmm… It’s definitely a good sword.”
The Blue Star Blade is a rather good sword, but it’s a weapon obtained as a reward, so it’s excellent.
“You can make the center of gravity, the length of the blade, and the feel similar, but you cannot make the same function. You know that much, right?”
“I know that much.”
It’s a restriction that I made to fight with a non-functioning weapon in the first place, but if you put something like that, you won’t be able to use it again.
“Leave the sword to me later when class is over.”
“… “
“What? Are you sure it’s a pity that you’re about to fall with the sword? Duplicating a sword is not something that ends so quickly.”
“No, I was thinking about what would happen if senpai liked the sword and stole it.”
“Who…Is saying someone stole the sword! Now… If you keep coming out like that, I won’t help you!”
“Yeah. Seniors. Now it even threatens… My juniors will cry out of sadness.”
“Put some saliva in your mouth and talk like that! Ha.. Why am I so angry when I’m with you? You don’t have to be a senior, so you should stop too.”
“I don’t care.”
“I care!”
Is this the end of senior play with a good sense of hitting? I didn’t expect to say goodbye to the blue star blade that always had a place in my inventory, but I couldn’t help it because it was necessary.
By the way, since Kim Seong-tae is a master, it seems that all of Park Hye-ji’s swords are made to order.
I heard that she doesn’t make it for anyone, but is it possible because she is the granddaughter of Choi Tae-soo’s grandfather?
“It’s Hyeji.”
“What… What is it?”
“Can I ask a question?”
“It’s fine as long as it’s not weird.”
“I’ve been curious about it before, but why are you carrying three swords?”
I know that it attacks with a trigger, but isn’t it uncomfortable to carry around so many swords?
I’ve always been curious about it since I always carry three swords.
“What. You can tell me that much. The material is different for each sword.”
“The material is different?”
“Magic conductivity and durability are different. The durability of a sword with extremely high magical conductivity is weak, so it is difficult to use unless you are using skills.”
“Are you using it as needed?”
“What. Yes.”
Is there a sword that is used for close combat and a sword that is used for skill?
Knowledge has increased
“Are you going to stay here?”
“No, I need to check my surroundings more.”
“It’s my first time moving in a place like this, but it will be important to improve my accuracy if I want to be selected for this friendly.”
“Accuracy?”
“As you know, this is an urban area where ordinary citizens live. No matter how much it is to deal with the villain. Destroying the surrounding buildings doesn’t look good to the citizens.”
“Should I care about that?”
Well, even if the government compensated to some extent, it was difficult to do it satisfactorily.
No matter how strong and cool a hero is, if he destroys all the buildings around him every time he fights, it will be difficult for him to gain support from the citizens.
I only cared about power and range, but if you’re going to fight here, you’ll have to take that into account as well.
“It is different, too. Is it because you are experienced?”
“That… Nothing comes out just because you say that.”
[Park Hye-ji’s favorability has increased. ]
You’re surprisingly weak to compliments, or is it because the atmosphere is different from usual?
When I said it with a little sincerity, her likeability rose. Well, if you keep teasing and saying this every once in a while, the feeling will be different.
“It’s not confirmed yet, but I’m guessing you’ll be chosen.”
“I don’t know what to do with my senior saying that.”
“That… I told you to stop! Hmmmm.. Anyway, you will be representing Daehan Academy, so please pay more attention to your behavior.”
“Yes yes.”
“Again in a dry way.. Ha. And don’t forget that you agreed to help me on the day of the friendly match.”
“Don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten.”
“That…Yes. I’m going to check the terrain now.”
“Okay.”
Park Hye-ji blushes slightly in her face and jumps down the building, kicking the wall in her middle and starting to weave between the buildings.
It looks easy at first glance, but it was a more difficult move than I thought.
‘I have to practice too..’
I didn’t need it thanks to the artifact, so I wasn’t used to moving like that. This will take quite a bit of practice.
‘Because I can’t be pushed by Park Hye-ji.’
