I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

(50)

There are no real geniuses

After dinner, I unconsciously went to the dormitory, but I turned my steps again.

There is a reinforcement class from today.

Classes start at 7:30, so I have plenty of time, but I plan to go ahead and wait.

‘Cause I’m afraid to come back

Immediately after accepting the assistant principal’s proposal, I pondered a lot over the weekend.

Unlike regular classes, reinforcement does not have a set curriculum.

I thought that I was going to teach, and I thought that I would do it for no reason, but I prepared myself.

Arriving at the swordsmanship training ground, a familiar female student is stretching.

“uh? Hello sir.”

is the student body president.

“Okay, hi. You’re here early. rice is?”

“I ate. Third grade eats the fastest.”

Oh, it was.

After you have eaten, you will rest for a while. Seeing that he has already come and warmed up, he is also very enthusiastic.

“It’s still before class, but how about a sparring session with me?”

“It’s not good to move right after eating.”

“I don’t eat much, so it’s okay.”

“I am not okay. Call the kids when they all come later.”

I walked past the student council president with a disappointed expression, not knowing if I would reject him, entered the office and immediately turned on the computer.

Reinforcement does not simply teach children, but a supplementary lesson plan must be prepared and submitted separately.

I’ve been working on this week’s plan during lunch, so it’s almost finished, but it’s a little annoying because it’s submitted every week.

When I finished writing the plan and checked the time, it was 7:20.

I packed the things I prepared and left the office, but there was still only the student council president, and the rest of the guys didn’t come.

There were no applicants in the 2nd year swordsmanship class, so five students were selected for supplementary classes: Eun-soo and Eun-seo, Jin-soo and Min-hee, and the student council president.

I tried to cheer them up if they were late, but everyone arrived right on time.

Before starting the full-scale class, I explain how to conduct the reinforcement class, but everyone except Sejin has a bad expression.

“Every weekday, you do weekends too?”

“Sam, isn’t it too tight?”

“I have a lot of homework for other subjects… .”

Everyone is complaining… Guys, don’t you think I’m good?

“You rest on Sunday. You can do it then.”

“there… Sir, I wish I could do it on Sunday too.”

“Sir, senior?”

“Senior, why is that? Aren’t the 3rd graders more homework than us?”

“It is, but… Well, you can do it whenever you have time. Last year, we also had classes on Sundays.”

Am embarrassed.

All the kids look tired, but I, as a teacher, look a bit unlucky.

“It’s hard every Sunday because the teacher has an outside schedule.”

“Ah, then it can’t be helped.”

“I lived.”

“How are classes conducted? I think it would be better if I practice more than theory… .”

“It’s a reinforcement for martial arts competitions, so we’re going to focus on sparring, but we can’t skip theory classes at all.”

“I don’t need theory… .”

The other guys don’t say much to see if they have any complaints, but only Sejin is like this.

Since he’s in his third year, he’s learned all the theories, so he seems to think it’s a waste of time… .

“It’s true that the actual battle is important, but will you improve your skills just by sparring with your mouth shut?”

“ah… . no. sorry.”

They said that they won the championship two years in a row and that they were the first to win this year, but they seem to be impatient.

You don’t seem to be a perfectionist, do you have rivals of similar skill?

“I like a quick apology. I plan to teach only the theory necessary for practice, so there will be no learning again. Let’s start with one bag at a time.”

When I point to the box I brought, everyone except Sejin’s expression hardens.

“Teacher, can’t this… .”

“Sam? You said you can’t eat this anymore.”

“I will just cancel… .”

“Uh-huh, Lee Jin-soo, you can apply as you like, but canceling is not like that. Don’t be arrogant, come quickly and take one shot at a time.”

“Why is everyone like this? Teacher, what are these kids doing?”

“It is a very good medicine for you who are growing up. The other kids ate it two months ago.”

“wow. Are you even making medicine for the kids separately? I really envy the first graders.”

“Senior, what are you talking about? That is poison.”

“What is the poison? The teacher thinks of you and takes care of you. There was nothing like this in my time.”

“If you try it once, you will change your mind.”

“Since I was young, I have been taking a lot of herbal medicine. So eat well.”

I walked over confidently, picked up the medicine, cut it straight, and inhaled it in one breath.

“Senior, if you drink that in one go, you will die.”

“Oh, what a shame… . It is a bit bitter.”

He pretends to be okay, but his expression shows that he ate something he couldn’t eat.

“As expected, the student council president. In the future, I will eat one pouch for each supplementary class.”

“Yes? You eat this every class?”

“Exactly every day. On Saturday, take the Sunday portion and eat it.”

“No, you don’t have to… .”

“Uh huh, you know if you’ve eaten a lot since you were little. Supplements are effective only when taken regularly. Now, you guys, eat quickly.”

When urged, everyone comes out and takes medicine, but just by looking at their expressions, there is no prisoner being dragged to the place of execution.

“Really, I can’t get used to this even if I keep eating it. You can’t even eat it, right?”

“ah… No, I’m fine, but I’m afraid you guys will have a hard time.”

Even so, I smile at the fact that I do not want to show my weak side in front of my juniors even though I am a senior.

“Then let’s move to a seat so that class can begin.”

* * *

The class was said to focus on actual practice, but the teacher moved the place indoors.

As it is the first day, I thought I would first understand the basic skills and practice sparring, but it seems that I am going to have a theory class.

Do you think it’s the same as the last Dalian?

Last time, I didn’t have a successful attack, but since then I’ve been working hard.

I wanted to show you a changed look… .

“I’ll bring the print, so will Eun-soo follow the teacher for a second?”

“Yes.”

Eunsu and I went back into the office and came out shortly after.

“Give me a copy.”

On the printed cover, which seems to have been made by himself, it is written ‘Pahuisik’.

It is much thicker than most theory textbooks.

Couldn’t you just do this for two hours today?

He said he would teach me what I hadn’t learned, but I wondered if it would proceed in a way where he sparred and gave me advice on what I lacked… .

I know that Mr. Kang’s skills are great, but honestly, the theory will be there.

I turned over the cover without much expectation and couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Sensei, isn’t this just about swordsmanship?”

“It’s not just swordsman class students who participate in martial arts competitions.”

“But we can’t learn all of spearmanship, boxing, and archery.”

“Even if you learn magic, you can’t use it because the mana is different?”

The other kids don’t seem to have figured it out yet.

Mr. Kang is not trying to teach us another subject.

“Why are you studying other subjects? Look closely at the title again.”

Then the other kids checked the print again, but I already realized.

Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com

Just like the title on the cover says.

In addition to swordsmanship taught at school, it analyzes spearmanship, boxing, archery, and magic, and describes the best way to deal with it with a sword.

“there… Sir, did you make this yourself?”

“uh? right. Of course I made it.”

“You are so amazing.”

“Well, it’s not that great. Sejin seems to understand. Also, the winning candidates are different. You had a hard time last weekend.”

You say it insignificantly, but it is never insignificant.

There are parts that I vaguely felt or thought about, but there are far more that I didn’t think of at all.

If you learn this material properly, you will never lose against students who cannot apply it even if you want to.

I did this in two weekends, and by myself… .

I was shocked when I lost in Dalian last time without being able to attack once, but not as much as today.

At that time, I thought it was the difference in experience and age, so I thought that if I was as old as Mr. Kang and gained experience, I would be able to catch up.

I’ve been told that I’m a genius or talented since I was young, and I thought I’d proved it in my own way, but I was arrogant.

The real genius was different.

* * *

As I was thinking about how to do the enrichment class, a brilliant idea came to my mind.

In martial arts novels, when martial arts masters compete, they quickly find the weaknesses of the opponent’s martial arts.

In some novels, there are cases where martial arts with compatibility are created.

Sometimes when I listen to the story my master tells, it’s not exactly the same as the novel, but there are many similarities, so wouldn’t it be possible for our master as well?

It’s because he’s a nobleman who always keeps the word that he was the best.

In addition to the swordsmanship I teach, all practical subjects such as boxing, spearmanship, and archery taught at the Hunter School are taught according to the curriculum.

Foreign countries are of course different, but all hunter schools in Korea would teach the same content.

Then why don’t we analyze the contents taught in school and identify weaknesses and teach them?

Of course, there may be people who apply beyond what they have learned, but the basics are the same.

Looking back at the match with the student council president who won the championship two years in a row, he used the swordsmanship taught at school as it was rather than applying it.

When I came to the portal with the idea that I had to make ends meet, I transferred all of the practical training materials, including swordsmanship training materials, to my laptop.

In fact, the training materials for practical subjects are classified as state secrets, so even though I am a teacher, I do not have access to other subject materials except for swordsmanship.

However, when he asked for help from the vice-principal for a supplementary class, it was a breeze.

In principle, it is not allowed to take it out, but there is no separate inspection.

Honestly, even if it’s a state secret, it doesn’t matter.

Even when I showed it to my master, he clicked his tongue, saying, ‘It’s trash that’s worse than third-rate martial arts,’ asking what kind of garbage you’re teaching.

“Are you doing well, Master?”

I think I could do it if I put in a lot of time, but I left it to the master.

These days, they don’t take good care of training and only eat rice, so I should use it like this.

“Master?”

There was no answer, so I thought he was concentrating, but when I got closer, I saw that he was watching an entertainment program, not a Korean file.

“Are you already smoking?”

“You’re fooling around with a sky-like master. It was over a long time ago.”

“Yes? Already?”

“Having half an eye is enough to destroy such a third-rate garbage swordsmanship. If it wasn’t for writing in Korean, it wouldn’t have taken a toll.”

It’s only been an hour, but I thought I might have done something sloppy, so I took the laptop and checked the contents.

“How are you?”

“It’s nice.”

It’s not a mouth-watering sound, but the parts I thought of as well as the parts I didn’t think of were perfect.

The explanation is very detailed and easy as my request to lower the level so that young students can see and follow.

It seems that it can be used as it is if you correct a little misspelling in the middle.

“Ahem, for a master like me, this is a piece of cake.”

When I praised him, his shrug and condescension made me feel a bit sick to my stomach.

When I teach my martial arts, I explain in detail like this.

Of course, it may be because the difficulty level is different, but I had a lot of trouble understanding it because it was difficult to explain to me every time.

“As expected, Master.”

“Heh heh, even you guys can do this. Of course, it won’t be as fast, detailed, or accurate as I did.”

He laughs and says, but his nose looks like he’s going to stab the sky.

Rather good.

“Of course it is. The master was the ‘first person in the world’ in Murim, how could this disciple follow the master’s eyes?”

“It’s been a while since you said the right thing.”

“By the way, Master, have you encountered many warriors who use weapons other than swords in Moorim?”

“That said, I started with those who used kwon or jangbeop, and competed with all those who used 18-and-a-half weapons.”

“Oh, too. So… Master, then I would like to ask for something else, just like this swordsmanship was destroyed.”

It was for this very reason that I put up with the swelling of my stomach and lifted up my master.

“uh? No, you guys can do it too?”

“I said it before, but my eyes are not as good as the master. He told the master to eat porridge. These days, there are only a few because we don’t use as many weapons as in the Ming Dynasty.”

“as… How much is it?”

It’s the look of being completely stunned.

“I finished swordsmanship, so I only need to do three things: spearmanship, archery, and kwongakbeop.”

“Three?”

“Not three, but only three. I will transfer the data to the master’s laptop. Can you finish it by the time I go tomorrow?”

I’d like to entrust magic to my heart, but there was no such thing in Murim, where my master was, so it must be difficult.

He shows signs he doesn’t want to do it, but he replies that he will eventually understand, perhaps because of what he said.

Master, you have to pay for the meal.
