10 – Dalian (2)

“… ….”

“… ….”

The eyes crossed with half-closed eyes.

There was no one who said hello first because it was nothing to say that they knew each other.

I don’t want to get involved with the heroine as much as possible.

Because you don’t know what the future will be like if you go out of your way and get out of love affairs like Lucy did last time.

However, the eyes have already been hit, and there is no way to turn back to prepare for the sparring.

Ignoring Anastasia, it seemed the best for her to do her best and leave.

I turned my head away from Anastasia, who was sitting on the floor.

She tried to look around the bookshelves with her fingertips to see if there were any useful books.

“Aww.”

A small scream and the sound of something collapsing suddenly came from behind.

When she turned her head slightly, Anastasia’s books piled up on her piled up collapsed and hit her.

“… ….”

Anastasia struggles and tries to wake up from being buried in a book.

Then she dropped her head to the floor and stared at me quietly, probably from exhaustion.

I think I know what you are asking for even if I don’t have to express it in words.

It’s hard to get out alone, so you’re probably asking for some help.

“Ha ha.”

I just wanted to live without getting involved, but I ended up getting involved.

Heaving a deep sigh, he took a big step and stood in front of Anastasia.

I bent down slightly and grabbed Anastasia by the scruff of her neck and pulled her out of the buried book.

“Ohh… ….”

Anastasia, lifted up like a cat bitten by the mother cat’s neck with her arms forward, opened her eyes a little, but made a surprised expression.

At a cursory glance, it looked skinny, but honestly, I was surprised because I didn’t expect it to be light enough to be lifted with one hand.

No, Adele’s body is strong.

Anyway, after dropping the guy on the floor to thank him for helping me, I turned around and looked through the bookshelf as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the titles written on the back of the book, the depth of the contents from basic to advanced was all different, and the schools were all different, so I had no idea what to choose.

“What do you mean there are so many?”

I thought swordsmanship was divided according to the type of sword, but now I see that swordsmanship is very different even within the same sword.

If I tried to assimilate everyone, it would have been obvious that my magic power would run out before then.

“Do I have to read through all of them and choose?”

This is why I ended up confined to the library all day and only reading books.

I don’t have a specific schedule for the next one, but I didn’t want to stay for a long time because the space itself was uncomfortable.

“… ….”

A look like stabbing my back.

You can tell without looking back.

That Anastasia is staring at me right now from behind me.

But she continued to ignore it and read the book.

Read the book and put it back in its original place if you don’t need it.

Then, like a hyena trying to steal the leftover meat, the guy sneaks up and takes out the book again.

I don’t know why I bothered to read books related to swords, but I didn’t bother.

While I was still looking for the book I needed.

‘This is…….’

The book I was holding was quite interesting.

A worn and faded cover.

A tattered page that looks like it will tear at any moment.

A cloud of dust is piled up on the head of the book.

This book, which no one seems to touch, seems like it should be thrown away in the garbage, is a book about swordsmanship without a name.

However, this book is worth reading.

In the beginning of the game, Kyle discovers this book and grows up based on this swordsmanship.

Well, based on that swordsmanship, Kyle is becoming a swordsman…… Skip these things.

‘It is said that if you are a landlord, you will be burned.’

To beat Kyle, it would be better if I knew his swordsmanship.

Although it wouldn’t be much of a benefit to me since it would take Kyle’s talent to properly use this swordsmanship.

I started a fairy tale by slowly scanning the page with my eyes.

Hwaaak─

Information rushes into my head like a tidal wave, and it is organized in an instant.

I just read the written explanation, but the experience piles up as if I swung a sword.

Similarly, blood poured out as if I had swung the sword all day.

‘Is this far?’

The identity of the feeling of exhaustion spreading throughout the body was due to the consumption of mana.

I’ve only read a few pages, but this much magic is wasted.

There was definitely a big difference compared to other books where it was easy to read just one book.

‘I’ll borrow the rest and read it tomorrow.’

I unlocked the fairy tale while closing the book.

The mana that was draining from the whole body was cut off in an instant, and the fatigue lessened.

The moment I turn around to leave the library after borrowing a book like that.

“… ….”

“… ….”

The eyes met with the eyes that got closer.

Before I knew it, Anastasia was beside me, holding all the books I had covered and put in her chest.

Then Anastasia’s gaze turned to the book I had tucked beside her.

I said looking down at the top of her head.

“I’m going, get out of the way.”

Anastasia silently moved to her side, but her gaze was fixed on the book.

It was only a shabby book, but it was a greedy gaze as if it were a treasure.

Even if I moved, that line of sight didn’t move away and kept a certain distance.

“I don’t know why you’re doing that… ….”

Anyway, thinking that there was no need to get involved with the heroine, I immediately ran out of the library as soon as I checked out the book.

“Oh, books… ….”

I could hear Anastasia muttering something, but she didn’t bother to look back.

* * *

It was the day of Dalian.

Students gathered in the dome-shaped indoor arena as guided by the professor, and sat in the waiting seats to watch the sparring taking place in the arena.

It wasn’t my turn yet, so I was sitting back in my chair watching the Dalian.

“Is this the fifth time?”

When I checked the brackets on the wall of the waiting room, Kyle and I were almost at the end.

So it was said that there was still a long way before my turn came, and I had to keep watching this boring sparring.

It would be worth watching if the main characters fought, but I wasn’t really interested in fighting with kids I didn’t know the names of.

“… ….”

I felt a gaze from somewhere, so I turned my head in the direction of the gaze.

Many students were talking naturally, but one of them had a head that swung around as if avoiding my gaze.

Familiar sky blue hair.

It was Lucy Bellmail.

“What?”

If I had something to say, I would have said it directly like when we first met, but was it just a coincidence?

Anyway, when I poked my head out and glanced at her, it seemed there were no bruises left on Lucy’s body, perhaps thanks to the treatment.

Well, in the original story, that idiot Kyle didn’t even know that Lucy was being beaten, so it’s only natural.

“Next, please come with Anastasia Aris and Lucy Bellemail.”

At the professor’s name, I leaned forward making a noise.

A leading role.

It was also a sparring between two heroines who reigned at the top of their grades, so I couldn’t help but concentrate.

At the same time, it was also an opportunity to see the top-level skills with both eyes.

The sparring between the two will give me some idea of Kyle’s ability against me.

The two students whose names were called rose from their seats and went to the arena.

Up to this point, paramedics who had been working tirelessly were waiting near the training ground, and many professors stayed in place to deal with unexpected situations.

What kind of things would happen if those two got together?

I swallowed dry saliva at the same time as I prepared for the sparring, which was quite different from before.

Anastasia and Lucy exchanged a brief greeting and waited for the professor’s signal while standing in their designated seats.

And with the professor’s words to begin, Lucy kicked off the ground and ran towards Anastasia.

Lucy’s characteristics are Skadi, known as the god of hunting and winter.

The sight of her running was similar to her skiing.

As she slipped on the floor, a pure white chill settled down on her body, and as she moved at high speed, she drew a long tail like a shooting star.

It’s not a characteristic limited to close combat, but because the opponent was Anastasia, it took such a tactic.

“You usually get hit that way.”

Academy’s Strongest Swordsman If you were asked to choose the most difficult job in PVP, anyone would pick this job.

A summoner that can lead an army with only one person.

A summoner who violates the rules of PVP content limited to 1v1 and lets you fight alone in a 1v1 multiplayer battle is an incredibly tricky opponent if you have time to summon a summoned beast.

However, it has the disadvantage that it takes a long time to summon a summoner, so the strategy is to quickly subdue the summoner while there is no summoner.

“But he won’t be beaten.”

Anastasia is a summoner, but she is a monster whose summoning speed is different from that of normal summoners.

It is not for nothing that there is an Easter egg that becomes a heroine when the main character surpasses it.

She’s there because it’s so hard to win.

And as I expected, Lucy’s strategy didn’t work.

Anastasia only waved one hand into the air, but the knight appeared and blocked her kick.

The result was obvious.

Lucy tried to subdue the summons and approach Anastasia, but the speed at which Anastasia summoned her was faster than the speed at which she could get rid of her summons. The game was won.

Still, should I say it’s amazing how many minutes he lasted against that number of summons?

Because he was definitely at the top level, he had a potential that was incomparable to those in the lower ranks.

“…… I mean Kyle will be just like them.”

I looked up like a meerkat to see Kyle, my opponent, but it was difficult to find because there were so many people.

However, finding Kyle in this case is easy.

It’s enough to follow Lucy as she trudges down from the arena with her gaze.

Because either Lucy goes to Kyle, or Kyle comes to meet Lucy, it’s pretty obvious.

“…… ?”

Did you feel my gaze?

As Lucy came down from the arena, she turned her head towards me and our eyes met.

It took about 3 seconds for our eyes to cross like that.

It was awkward to make eye contact without saying a word, so I opened my mouth first.

“Overall, it was a sparring full of regretful judgments. If you’re going to deal with Anastasia, you should have been more specific.”

From noble mtl dot com

I tried to say it like a hunsu-chung in my own way.

As a user of the academy’s strongest swordsman, I did this because I knew how annoying it would be for someone to give me instructions when I lost PVP.

At this level, you probably don’t want to talk.

“Ha.”

Lucy muttered something inaudible, then turned around and walked away.

I can guess from the shape of your mouth, “Why are you staring at me?” It was the same thing.

I must have hated eye contact as much.

If she had a crush on me this much, I thought she would be able to live a good life without getting involved.

Anyway, as I expected, Lucy went to Kyle’s seat, and she found Kyle easily.

“Oh, are you here?”

“Yes.”

Lucy quietly sat next to Kyle.

Then she asked Anastasia how the match was, putting her head between them while hugging her knees, as if she was upset about losing to Anastasia.

“Uh… ….”

Kyle scratched her cheek and hesitated, unable to answer right away.

The words that came out after much thought were truly spectacle.

“Sorry, I didn’t see your fights because I was preparing for them… ….”

Even if I didn’t see it, I could have said something like “It’s a pity”, But I got angry at the main character’s lack of consideration.

I also felt skeptical about whether I was rooting for him to do this.

“…… Oh yeah?”

Lucy let out a hint of disappointment and quietly stared at the arena.

I stuck my head out and looked at what Kyle was doing as he said he was preparing for sparring.

Kyle sat on her ground sharpening her knife.

She was literally sharpening her sword to sharpen it.

Just looking at the well-forged blade gave off a cool atmosphere, as if it could be cut.

“…… But didn’t you go a few days ago?”

“Yes, but I thought it would be insufficient.”

Kyle murmured, raising her sword and staring at her empty eyes.

“I didn’t think it was good enough to cut people.”

I got goosebumps as if a chilling chill had seeped in from that word as if evil deeds I hadn’t committed passed by like a kaleidoscope.

…… Isn’t that kid thinking weird?
