Chapter 226 – Volume 46 – The Misfits of the Swordsmanship Academy (1)
Swordsmanship in this world is very special.
It’s not just that it’s prioritized over other weapons, it’s so biased that other weapons are sold out.
Because no other weapon has ever succeeded in creating an aura.
It’s not that I haven’t tried it.
Historically, there have been attempts to incorporate Aura into other weapons.
Most of them failed at all, and even if they did succeed, they didn’t progress further because of much lower performance.
The reason is not exact, but it is a characteristic of the entire world that has been passed down from time immemorial.
No one questioned this, and no time was wasted.
However, there are those who use other weapons.
Most of them were wizards, not knights who trained their swordsmanship and aura.
In the first place, the horse is a weapon, it’s just a case of attacking with magic.
So high-powered long-range attacks were completely up to the wizard.
At least the knights capable of ranged attacks were all solved with swordsmanship…
There was no option to change weapons.
‘Hmm…’
But this is common sense in this world.
If not, isn’t it fun to imagine what a fight would be like?
And especially these days, it’s fun to write a story that doesn’t exist in reality.
‘How ironic.’
I live in a fantasy world, but it’s like drawing fantasy works even in a fantasy world.
But originally, a work is something that communicates with everyone in this world.
If so, I can’t help but burn my heart to share this fresh pleasure.
“Still, when something like this suddenly comes out, it breaks my immersion…”
In that case, you can use a main character with similar common sense.
That makes it much more immersive, and at the same time gives the feeling of traveling to another world.
In fact, the recent serialized works had that feeling.
“Hmm, but this time, isn’t the worldview itself completely different?”
Then there is one very intuitive option.
The main character, who lived in a world similar to this one, moves on to a new worldview I think.
…Simply put, it’s about becoming something from another world.
‘I didn’t know that I would be spreading other world stuff in another world.’
Still, since it’s not a popular genre for nothing, there was a high possibility that it would work here as well.
Didn’t the two works that were similar to the other world right away get a good response in a row?
Originally, wherever people live, the law is the same.
“Then, first of all, I’d like the main character to be based on the recent Orca.”
Originally, cartoons are viewed for vicarious satisfaction.
There must be a swordsman with a similar problem as Orca.
It would be satisfying if it was a scene in which such a protagonist solves all his worries in a different world.
Go to a world where not only swords but various weapons can all embody auras.
Find the weapon that suits you and completely change your life that was ignored.
And if you melt the people of that world who use various weapons, you will be able to fully implement the taste of traveling to a completely different world.
“It’s okay. I’ll try this material this time.”
It’s a subject that came to mind by chance, but first of all, that alone was very interesting.
One of the most important elements when I draw a work.
The conditions for whether or not I enjoy drawing are also quite met… It was a setting that suited my taste.
“Wow, anyway, a hero like this is fine.”
A case where he was promising when he was young, but later his evaluation went downhill as his talent was treated as trash.
On Earth, it’s close to a cliché, so some may say that it’s a bit boring.
It is said that she is the type of main character that is loved that much.
“…Hmm, shall we go a little extreme?”
Now, if you thought you would write a work with a story like this.
You have to choose the weapon that the main character, who was just created with the setting, will use.
However, if you choose an ordinary weapon in this part, the impact will be weak and the fun will be cut in half.
Even though people here recognize it as a weapon.
It is good to have a weapon that is suitable for feeling unrealistic in that you can use even an aura.
“…Bow?”
Come to think of it, this neighborhood tends to use the weapon itself as a bow.
Excluding wizards and magic tools, a decent long-range arsenal for individual use.
First of all, it has the advantage of being cheap, but it also has the killing power to kill animals and people.
Therefore, an arsenal that the protagonist can recognize even in another world.
There is even a possibility that it was a weapon that could have been used from the beginning, since it was used before polishing swordsmanship.
Then there must be a probability that it is easy to adapt in many ways.
“Okay, then I think we should go with that feeling.”
Next, simply set the friends and enemies of the other world that the protagonist will meet.
After setting it all the way, you can put it where you need it according to the story you want to develop…
Again, in this case, it is faster to create based on the concept.
In the case of the current protagonist, he already had a set setting, and he had to bring a weapon that suited him.
Conversely, for the other characters, it is quicker and more natural to choose a weapon first and draw the character with a personality derived from that weapon.
“Hmm, a gun or something would be fine.
Even if it is a weapon that is not familiar in this world, it is rather felt as a mystery of another world.
As long as it’s not the main character, I think that kind of material is fine.
Words are guns, so fighting using magic tools also exists, right?
I received a gun-shaped magic tool from a wizard friend.
After that friend dies, you can continue to fight with that magic tool and put an aura on the magic tool attack.
Well, I felt like a lot of good characters would come out if I wrote the narrative that way.
“Okay, I should go with this feeling.”
Ideas started pouring out in a good way.
I didn’t miss the chance, and started putting together a bunch of settings before the sensation faded.
…Thanks to that, I was scolded by Nia for not being able to sleep that night, but it felt good to see the thickly piled up pictures of the setting in the morning.

“Oh, I’m going soon.”
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
After Orca left the club room, I sighed and took out the manuscript I had been working on.
Just now, it suddenly came in, so I almost showed it all without being able to properly defend myself.
It’s fortunate that Orca isn’t the kind of person who digs into this kind of detail.
“Have you been paying attention to orcas lately?”
“…Um, was it too blunt?”
“If there’s too much new work, they defend it like a knife. Especially when there’s Orca.”
“Yeah, but this time I don’t want to spoil it.”
If it’s someone else, I think I can talk to some extent.
I want Orca to gain strength in many ways while watching my work this time.
So I want to help you immerse yourself in the work as much as possible.
“Hmm, I pretended not to. When Carly draws, he thinks he wants to give it to someone, doesn’t he?”
“It’s not like that… It happened by accident this time too?”
I just came up with an idea thanks to Orca.
It just seemed appropriate that the main character was in a similar situation to Orca.
So then, since it seems like it will be a comfort to Orca, we’ll pay attention together while doing it.
“…Hmm. It’s not something I’ll say after being comforted by two works by chance. I’m envious.”
“I’m trying to be a bit unfair…”
Sometimes, in a different sense, does this world do anything to me?
Anyway, since I finished all the storyboards the other day, I’ve been working hard on my work.
I was paying as much attention as possible so that the contents of the work would not be known to Orca.
Then Yuria came and was making fun of me.
“I’m starting to worry about Orca, but if she’s Carly, then she can stop worrying.”
“What is that strangely strong trust…”
It’s rather burdensome, so please don’t do that.
Anyway, the appearance of Orca has definitely looked tired these days.
It seems that making cotton candy has reached its limit, similar to swordsmanship.
‘…The best thing is to solve it.’
Although I am praying that she will be comforted by seeing my work.
That would only be a comfort.
In the end, in order to be completely resolved, the wall in question must be broken…
The professors who say they are in our academy are unable to find a way.
There is no way for me to do anything special.
Actually, Yuria also says that, but I didn’t completely erase her trauma, did I?
“So, when do you think the work will be completed?”
“Now we’re in the finishing stage. The final ending was a bit of a worry, so it took some time. That’s because we’ve already decided that.”
“Yes?”
“I haven’t been able to work on the cover color illustration yet… But first, start producing the comic book part inside.”
I was planning on composing the cover after the work was finished to match the final plot, and I was putting it off because I thought it would give me quite a bit of energy.
But maybe the story didn’t change much from the initial continuity, so maybe I could draw it the way I thought at the time.
“…I want to finish quickly and get a good night’s sleep.”
“Aren’t you in too much of a hurry?”
“At first, I thought so too… Orca walks around with that expression every day, so I can’t sleep.”
“Look at that. As expected, Orca cares.”
“…Don’t mind it. You mean you didn’t think about the Orca when you set up the work?”
Even if it wasn’t a story like this, since Orca likes my cartoons, she would have acted similarly, even in the sense of being happy like cotton candy.
But no matter how much I insist, YuRia consistently hugs me with a loving expression and pats me up.
It was so unfair that I thought I would die.
