Chapter 227 – Volume 46 – The Misfits of the Swordsmanship Academy (2)
“This…?”
“Siwoo’s new work, which will be published tomorrow, is called ‘The Misfits of the Swordsmanship Academy’.”
“Do I have to work tomorrow?”
“No, I just wanted to show you quickly.”
I heard that Carly has been strange these days, it must have been because she was busy preparing for a new work.
On the cover of this work, a very serious-looking girl was lying down holding a broken sword.
He looked weak, as if he would be attacked and finished off at any moment.
“It sounds like a very erotic cover. Are you being raped like this?”
“No. If anyone hears it, they’ll know I’m only drawing something like that.”
Callie was ashamed to say something unintentional.
By the way, if it’s not erotic, will I die from being attacked like that?
But being on the cover means you’re the main character, but are you going to die?
“Anyway, read it. Orca was the work I wanted to show you.”
“…To me?”
“Yeah. Maybe I’d like to cheer up a little after watching it…”
“Carly…”
Perhaps I have caused too much trouble to the people around me.
At least recently, I enjoyed the fairy thread, so it was less difficult if I immersed myself in it as much as I could.
After all, it was only an escape, and after the illusion was broken, the same reality stood in front of my eyes.
I couldn’t stand it, so I kept fooling around.
“I’m sorry. If I could have done better, none of this would have happened.”
“No. You did your best. You don’t have to be first. There are many students who can’t even catch up to your level anyway.”
But Kali and Siu are the best painters in the empire.
To think that a knight who protects such a person stays at an ordinary level…
That’s impossible
In order to become a knight by Carly’s side, I must become much stronger than I am now.
You should at least become a sword master, but to stop at this level.
I have no qualifications to call myself a knight of Kali.
“Again, that expression.”
“Huh!?”
“It’s okay. There are times when you get a little stuck. So don’t give up and keep your mind strong.”
“…Yes.”
But Carly cares for me like that.
No matter what happens, I tell you that I will believe in you and wait for you.
That warm word lifted me up every time.
“I received a present and threw it away.”
Of course, it was something I could buy tomorrow.
Still, the fact that Carly cared so much was a great strength to me.
Lately, Carly has nightmares about throwing away useless things like me, and it reminds me of what a stupid dream it is.
“That’s funny.”
It’s hard because the reality is bleak, but Kali is really strong because the reality is so bright.
In the end, it all happened because I was lacking.
Ever since I was young, I’ve only been motivated, but knowing how to do it right…
“No. Carly gave me a gift to stop thinking about it.”
I shook my head and erased the bad thoughts.
I opened the comic book Carly had given me.
It’s time to forget about reality for a while and go play in the world Carly has drawn.
“Yes?”
Contrary to what it looks like in the title.
The main character who appeared in the beginning seemed to be very good at using swordsmanship.
Of course, he appears very young, but the reactions around him were also very hot.
Perhaps he was treated as a great talent.
“…What?”
Then, he becomes an adult and changes to his appearance after entering the academy.
There was something strange about that look.
Just like I did, I couldn’t advance my swordsmanship anymore and was stuck.
Only then did I say that I hope it will be the comfort Carly said.
I realized that it doesn’t just mean giving a new work as a gift.
Because the main character of this work was very similar to me.
“I-I wasn’t that far?”
Being ignored by friends for not being able to handle swordsmanship properly.
In the end, looking at the main character who chose the path to be thoroughly alone.
I’m sorry I’ve been complaining so far.
I’d rather be relieved that the kids said you were a person too.
At first, I felt like I was standing up by saying that I looked good, but as time passed, more friends comforted me.
The other side was not on good terms with most of the academy.
And from the beginning of the manga, the academy is attacked by a huge number of monsters.
There were a lot of students who were quite capable, but it was the academy.
All of a sudden, the faculty has left, so the academy is easily destroyed.
The main character raised her sword to protect one of her friends who was the only one who saw her without discrimination.
With a sword that couldn’t be made even if it was properly made, far from saving anyone, only the person was in danger.
No, even the person he was trying to save couldn’t be properly saved.
“This is the picture on the cover.”
It’s a little different from Carly’s usual style.
There weren’t many cases where the contents of the cover came out so quickly…
Anyway, at the timing when the main character was about to be attacked by monsters.
The building where the protagonist fell collapsed, and he fell right into the hole.
“He said he comforted me, but he hit me in the bone.”
Of course, this was a joke.
Rather, this is what I imagine every day.
That I, who can’t protect Kali, will face such a useless end…
It was a heart that I opened up whenever I was having a hard time, but maybe I wanted to express my current situation as it is.
“Yes…?”
It was obviously a building.
The place we arrived was on a field where the intense sun was shining.
I was taken aback by the sudden change of situation, but I realized that the moving direction was similar to entering Neverland.
“No way…”
And without missing my expectations, the world the main character arrived in was special.
Weapons other than swordsmanship were also developed, and it was a world where it was possible to use auras and the like rather than the level of development.
The type of weapon has no effect on the level…
It was a very special world.
The main character is beholden to a certain uncle in that world, and picks up a sword to try his best to hunt in order to be of some help.
However, he is pointed out by the uncle why he uses a weapon that does not suit him.
For the first time, he contemplates changing weapons.
“I envy you…”
It seemed that I finally understood the meaning of comfort Carly had spoken about.
I would have wanted to say that such an opportunity would come to me too.
If it was about overcoming the swordsmanship slump straight up, I would have been rather nervous.
I felt like I was naked all the way there.
“Well, if it’s Carly, it doesn’t matter if I’m naked.”
In the meantime, the new weapon the main character chose was, surprisingly, a bow that I also used often.
The bow is honestly the best for hunting in the forest, and it’s fun to shoot.
To be honest, I was a bit intrigued by the fact that such a bow was properly trained and used as a weapon.
“…Uh?”
And the main character, who was flustered at first, gradually got used to handling the bow.
She, who couldn’t even contain an aura in her sword, was able to contain an aura in her arrows.
Not even swinging an arrow containing an aura, but sending it flying as it is was quite shocking.
Basically, maintaining an aura while leaving people’s hands.
It’s a high-difficulty skill that can only be done by a Sword Master or higher.
No matter how talented you are, it wasn’t an act that a person using an aura for the first time could do.
It burns the aura from the back of the arrow until it disappears, leaving the front aura until it hits the opponent.
I didn’t learn it from anyone, it was something I realized while practicing my bow.
The main character, who couldn’t move forward when using the sword, was improving like crazy as soon as he grabbed the bow.
“Ah…”
Because he was talented with the bow, not the sword, he couldn’t become stronger even if he held the sword.
Now that I have found a path that suits my talent, all that remains is to become stronger through explosive growth.
In the joy of growth that he has forgotten while walking in place, the main character forgets to sleep and concentrates on training.
It is a fun time to enjoy seeing the results of training and pioneering a new path.
And not a life of being ignored, but a life with loved ones.
The warm energy felt in the cartoon makes me smile without even realizing it.
“…Well, there are too many works left to end like this.”
As expected, such a happy time did not last all the time.
Surprisingly, the monsters that attacked the academy had crossed over to this world.
This time, it is because the main character has attacked the nest where he started a new life.
Originally, it would have been a daunting number to block at the level of the old man.
The main character, who had grown to a level that surpassed the uncle’s skills at once, took advantage of the long distance to reduce the monsters step by step from afar.
Thanks to that, there were very few monsters that reached the vicinity of the house, and the uncle succeeded in dealing with them all.
“Ah…”
Now the main character is strong enough to protect what he holds dear.
By saving these families for the first time, I was able to mend my broken heart before coming to this world.
He succeeded in recalling himself in those days when he picked up a sword with a pure heart, wanting to protect people.
“As expected, it bothers me.”
Of course, the monsters that appeared at the academy appeared here.
Among the trophies of those monsters, fragments of academy uniforms are found, and so on.
A lot of things that the main character involved couldn’t comfortably go over were revealed.
In the end, the main character decides to leave the precious new home.
In particular, she expresses her sincere gratitude to the man who taught her about her warmth even though he never taught her how to shoot a bow.
I was about to leave the house almost crying…
“Come on, let’s go.”
“To…?”
“What, weren’t you ready?”
The uncle also came out along the way, and the atmosphere became strange.
