Chapter 228 – Volume 46 – The Misfits of the Swordsmanship Academy (3)
“Could you explain why I was beaten…?”
“I do not know.”
The serious atmosphere was released at once, and I laughed without knowing it.
Well, there’s nothing more enjoyable than spending time with friends like that.
Come to think of it, Carly was hit like that sometimes too, is it a scene with experience?
“Five…”
After that, the story of traveling the continent was developed quite normally.
But if I had only listened to Mr.
Such a variety of fights allowed me to completely break away from the existing thoughts that only considered swords and magic every time.
Throwing memorization without using a separate weapon.
What are the pros and cons of applying an aura to a blunt weapon that is not as sharp as a sword?
And if you get out of the category of swords, how many different weapons can be born.
It’s a world different from common sense, but that’s why everything I learned was new.
The existing fighting formula of being divided into wizards and knights has been overturned.
It was like watching a board game like chess, so I felt a mysterious sense.
Fighting monsters, and seeing the appearance of my colleagues who are temporarily together as a result.
What I liked most was when people collided with each other through disagreements, looting, and so on.
Using different weapons, anticipating the opponent’s weapon and fighting meticulously to gain an advantage through it.
It was definitely something I couldn’t enjoy without this manga.
It’s not that swordsmanship doesn’t have similar tricks.
It was a freedom that I could feel because it expanded more while including such tricks in swordsmanship.
It was quite pleasant to see the formulas that had already been devoted to swordsmanship for about two years shatter.
“A shield…”
Among the weapons, the most novel was the concept of a shield.
Defense is basically using a sword to cut or deflect.
Covering the big shield itself with an aura, deliberately getting attacked.
I’ve heard of blocking monster attacks with magic, but never thought of being able to hit me directly like that.
It’s a position to deliberately receive the enemy’s attack instead.
The world in comics is basically used to fighting monsters, and there are many people who make it their business.
So naturally, it is said that a position using such a weapon is considered essential.
However, that was only the story of ordinary residents, not the story of the protagonist and the uncle who casually teamed up with people they knew.
They used to fight by paying money for positions they lacked, or seeking temporary alliances with the same goal.
Thanks to that, I was able to meet many people and hear many stories.
It’s less than my favorite couple, but it was a part I really liked.
Being able to hear other people’s stories is a process as if experiencing their lives.
There’s no way it wouldn’t be fun.
“Five…”
And what I liked the most was the story of a person carrying a weapon with a weird design.
Originally, he was an ordinary villager who didn’t know anything about discipline.
A close friend said that he was a very talented wizard.
Also, I like record magic in a peculiar way, so I tend to make a lot of things.
It is said that he made a simple magic tool that could be used instead of a bow and gave it as a gift.
And I hunted animals with that magic tool, and I was living a secluded life…
“The monster that suddenly appeared… So, you mean those people who are called the Abyss these days?”
“Yes, those guys appear. I couldn’t do anything and lost a friend. Actually, I didn’t die thanks to my friend forcibly sending me away…”
It is said that he learned how to fight the monsters he is looking for after losing his friend and dreaming of revenge.
But mysteriously, the attack of this equipment, which is a magic tool, started to contain an aura.
It is said that he became able to fight while training with that weapon.
“It’s a gun… It looks strange.”
Similar to a bow, it is a weapon that can attack from a distance, although its position overlaps with that of the main character.
At this time, high firepower was required regardless of position, so it was rather helpful.
The feeling of really traveling the world goes by for quite some time, and the main character succeeds in discovering the students of the academy, not the monsters.
However, it was an accidental discovery, and it was not found while looking for traces of a monster.
I fell into a remote land without proper skills, but it overlapped with the arrogance of being a reserve knight attending the best academy.
After all, as soon as he came to this world, he continued his terrible life of being used as a toy for criminals.
That’s why I thought I wouldn’t repeat the same mistake again.
The student didn’t ignore her heroine, who was now dressed pretty decently, but apologized for ignoring her in the past and asked for help.
As expected, the main character had tremendous skills, and since she had put down quite a bit of her past, she was happy to help.
Away from the terrible life, the quality of life improves drastically to the extent of being a porter who assists the protagonist and uncle.
And she explains what happened at her academy after the main character disappeared.
Surprisingly, those monsters are the familiars of certain wizards, and it is said that they were troops sent by the Wizards Union.
It is said that the Wizards Union succeeded in creating a magical tool that accidentally creates a door that crosses the dimension.
However, since it was a product of chance, it could not be reproduced, and in the end, it was said that the magic tool was to be used for research on other dimensions…
Surprisingly, some crazy swordsmanship academy stole it.
In the end, the Angry Wizards Union attacked.
“After explaining the situation, it seems that they tried to retrieve us by using us as hostages. The problem is that the magic tools ran out of control, and monsters and us were all caught up in it.”
“Suddenly?”
“Remember? A child called a star.”
“Yeah, of course not.”
The only child who treated the main character well.
And the child that the main character couldn’t save and made him feel helpless.
The child’s name was Star.
“That guy is a magic tool that opens a dimension.”
“What…?”
The star was not a human being, but an artificial creature created by magic.
The swordsmanship academy thought that such a star was like a human, so they secretly hid him as a student at the academy.
In the end, the fact was discovered and attacked.
“It’s the same with wizards who fell here. That’s why I’m trying to find Byul by using monsters.”
“…If they get caught, they will surely be overworked for the sake of research, right?”
“You, can’t you…”
“I have to save it, like you.”
「…」
In fact, to the main character, whether or not Byeol was human was not a very important issue.
Because she was the only one who affirmed herself, she was saved by her again and again.
Then it was far more important that now was the time to pay the debt.
“…It’s still the same.”
“What?”
“Nothing. So, does it start with killing all the monsters so that the magicians can’t use their power?」
“If you do that, we can get closer little by little.”
“It’s an ignorant way.”
“I learned from you. Sometimes ignorant methods are the most effective.”
She burst out laughing at the heroine’s words, and she said that she couldn’t stand still in the predicament that she had helped her too.
She demonstrated a skill she had acquired after enduring severe abuse, forcing her defenses by infusing an aura into her body itself.
Originally, she hid it as much as possible and left it as her trump card, but when she saw the main character, she remembered her decision to become a knight.
She opened up to the uncle and the main character, thinking that she wanted to train this and add a little bit of strength.
“Wow, putting an aura on the body itself?”
Of course, the word itself is nothing special.
Originally, strengthening the body using mana equivalent to an aura is a technique commonly used in swordsmanship.
However, the concept drawn in the cartoon was completely different from that.
It meant putting an aura on the body itself, as if it were a sword.
So instead of a weapon, it was a special form of wearing something like strong armor, which itself became a weapon.
Due to its characteristics, it was perfect for use in a form similar to a shield.
“As expected, Carly is amazing…”
It’s strange to talk about breaking common sense like this.
I think the study of Aurors is very deep in it.
Well, since Carly said she’s been practicing swordsmanship since she was little, does she know this well?
“Ah…?”
It was only then that I realized something belatedly and felt like I had been hit in the head.
I had completely forgotten about it until now, but Carly’s original career was a knight, not a wizard or a cartoonist.
Carly doesn’t know much detail about this, as she doesn’t like to talk about it.
As Rosalia told her about her old Carly, she remembered the things she had explained.
It is said that Kali is from a famous swordsman family, so he practiced swordsmanship very diligently.
However, his lack of talent completely betrayed Kali’s efforts, and it is said that Kali despaired countless times at such a result.
It’s not like I was thinking about a short time, but he didn’t stop his training even though he despaired of his talent for several years…
In the end, his efforts never saw the light of day.
“Carly…”
The reason why this piece was so beautiful and perfect was because Carly overcame her pain and brought out her painful past, which she did not want to reveal.
It was a cartoon he drew while tearing his own heart out of a desire to comfort me.
The moment I realized that fact, this comic book in my hand felt so warm…
I felt like I was going to burst into tears any minute.
