I Became a Swordsmanship Instructor at the Academy

(75)

WHCU (1)

It has already been three weeks since I came down to Gangwon-do.

After Mr. Kim and Mr. Hong joined, I worked on portal attacks on weekdays and taught Sejin on the weekends.

“Did I miss anything?”

“Yes. I got everything.”

WHCU competitions are held alternately in four countries: the United States, England, France, and Russia, and this year’s WHCU competition will be held in London.

There are still four days left before the tournament, but there is a time difference with Korea, so I will leave today to take care of my condition.

“Do well.”

“If Sejin is good, it’s a matter of winning the championship. Don’t be nervous and just do what you do.”

“Ah, thank you for your support.”

“Teacher Kang, thank you for your hard work.”

“Two of you, be careful going up.”

After saying goodbye to Mr. Kim and Mr. Hong, I left for Gimpo Airport with Sejin.

“Not sleepy? It will take a little over two hours, so if you feel sleepy, get some sleep.”

“it’s okay. Even if I get on a plane, I have to go for almost 12 hours anyway, so I can sleep at that time.”

“Did it take that long?”

“I searched the internet and they said it would take about 12 hours. Still, it’s better than the US I went to last year. It took more than 14 hours then.”

“It’s hard to get on a plane.”

“But since it’s first class, it won’t be too uncomfortable.”

“First class? Did you make a reservation?”

“When I went last year and the year before last, the association cut me off to first class, so won’t it be the same this year too?”

“My teacher always rode economy class… Thanks to you, I am strong.”

Since I came here, I have never been on a plane except for going to Jeju Island, and in my previous life, I have only been to Japan a couple of times, so I always rode the economy class.

After talking with Sejin, we arrived at Gimpo Airport before we knew it.

I park my car in the parking lot and drag my luggage into the airport, and there are quite a few people with cameras outside.

Are any celebrities coming?

“Sensei Kang, here you are.”

what? It is sympathy.

“My daughter!”

Did Daechan Kim come too?

Well, the vice principal accompanies me, but it’s even more strange that my parents, Kim Dae-chan, don’t accompany me.

Maybe it’s because there are so many eyes to see, but I’m very happy to call her name and approach Sejin, but it’s really hateful.

While trying to use her daughter as a tool.

There is an old lady next to me, and seeing that she looks a lot like Sejin, I think it’s her mother.

“It’s Sejin Kim!”

I was going to say hello to the vice principal and my mother, but after someone shouted, people with cameras rushed towards us.

Now that I see it, it seems that they were not celebrities, but people who came because of Sejin.

I heard from Mr. Kim in advance that the vice principal would accompany him, but I hadn’t heard of him doing an interview… .

“Kim Se-jin, please take a look here.”

“Yes?”

“I want to interview my daughter. Is it okay because there is still time? Please take a pretty picture of my daughter. I will sue you if you take a picture and upload it.”

Huh… .

You will think of other people as a father who really cares about his daughter.

He is the real king of the end plate.

“Come for an interview. The teacher will go through the procedures first.”

“Ah yes. I’ll be there soon too.”

“Wait. Aren’t you Mr. Shinhyeok Kang, who is in charge of Sejin student training? Mr. Kang also does the interview.”

“yes. Teacher Kang does the same.”

“I have nothing to say.”

“Didn’t you say in the interview after the Martial Arts competition that Kim Se-jin would win? You said that at the time, but have you changed your mind?”

It’s ridiculous.

I didn’t want to see Kim Dae-chan acting like a good father, so I wanted to leave, but they didn’t want to ignore it.

That’s how you hear the giggles.

“You know me well. I said I had nothing to say because I did everything I had to say last time.”

“So you still think that Sejin Kim here is winning?”

It’s really annoying.

“You know WH Toto, right? I received an agreement from Sejin before betting.”

“If it’s an agreement… Are you sure you bet on another student?”

“Why do I do such stupid things?”

“No, I heard you got a consent form a while ago… .”

“I didn’t get the consent form to choose another student, I got it because of the betting limit.”

“What is the limit?”

“I bet everything on Sejin’s win. The loan is also filled up to the limit.”

first class.

I thought it was just going to be comfortable in a wide seat, but it’s really a new world.

I was able to get on the plane right from the start without standing in line, and as soon as I sat down, I was given nuts and champagne as a welcome drink.

The meal menu and side drinks are diverse, and you can order them as you like, and they even boil ramen if you ask them to boil it… This is why people want to be first, first.

“Do you need anything else?”

“Ah, it’s okay.”

Even when I boarded the economy class, I never felt that the crew members were particularly unfriendly, but the crew members here are really kind, as if they would do anything you ask them to do.

Even people who have eaten meat are overly kind to say that they eat it, so there is no sense of discomfort.

However, it seems that it is not simply because he is a first passenger.

[You are so handsome. If you have time, please call 010-8xxx-2xxx.]

[010-5xxx-6xxx Please contact me. London is fine on the day I arrive and until the next day.]

Because there was a note like this on the back of the snacks the stewardesses brought.

Both of you are beautiful… I don’t think I can contact you right away because I have a schedule in London and I have to look after Sejin, but I put the note in my wallet.

He said he would spread the bedding, so I went to the bathroom for a while and then came out and ran into the vice-principal.

“Oh, Mr. Kang! Nice to meet you Are you going to sleep right away?”

“Yes?”

“I hear there’s a bar in the back, how about a drink before bed?”

Are there bars on the plane?

I have no intention of drinking, but it was also a suggestion from my boss at work, and I was curious about what it looked like, so I followed the vice principal.

There is really a bar after passing by the business class. It’s a bit narrow to be honest, but considering the limited space of an airplane, it’s okay.

There is a sofa to sit on, and the flight attendants make cocktails themselves, so once again I think the money is good.

“Sensei Kang, is that true?”

“Yes?”

“I heard you bet all your money.”

“It is true. I sold all of my stocks and pulled out all the loans I could, so I robbed them all. Vice-principal, did you bet on another student?”

“uh… Well, I also bet on Sejin… .”

What about bets?

“Looking at the ambiguous answer, it seems like he didn’t do everything to Sejin… You’re doing too much.”

“No, what… Anyway, I didn’t get the consent form like you did, but I still gave Sejin $500.”

“Only $500?”

“It’s barely. As you said, if Se-jin wins, it will be a few thousand dollars, so isn’t it an advantage anyway?”

“It’s not an advantage. Since Sejin’s winning dividend is 20.4 times, he lost exactly $10,200.”

Bianca, who is considered a strong candidate for the championship, recorded the lowest odds ever at 1.03, so I wondered if Sejin would go up to 25 times if she did well, but it was lower than I thought.

Is it because I boasted in the last interview that Sejin would win?

Interviews are also interviews, but as Sejin is going to represent Korea, there must be people who bet ignorantly on patriotism against Sejin.

“So how long have you been walking?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Despicably. If you tell me, where will it go?”

“Well, it should be enough to live without worrying about money in the future.”

“Conrad’s daughter-in-law is not easy… Well, then you can get to know it.”

This man speaks very badly.

“You really do too much. Sejin, who is not a student from another school, but a student from our school, is representing us, so Sejin should support us.”

“I, of course, support Sejin, but… .”

“Why did the cheering person only bet half? All in all, it’s a thousand dollars.”

“that is… Honestly, aren’t most people predicting that Bianca will win? You may not know because I have never actually seen it, but I honestly think Sejin is having a hard time as I watched all the last and last tournaments.”

“Vice Principal, do you remember when you dueled me before last summer break?”

“Who do you know as an old man with dementia? how long has it been… Of course I remember.”

“I’m so glad you remember. Then I hope you understand.”

“What do you understand?”

“There isn’t that much of a difference between me then and Sejin now.”

“Ah, don’t lie.”

“When was the last time I lied to the vice-principal?”

The WHCU competition is held for 5 days, and the participating countries change slightly each year, but it is usually round of 64.

The group lottery was held with the opening ceremony yesterday, the first day.

On the flight to London, I thought it would be better if I met Bianca and defeated her because everyone seems to be ignoring Se-jin too much, but our Se-jin picked number 2.

And the number Bianca picked was 64.

In WHCU, 1st and 2nd rounds are matched, and the winner faces the 3rd and 4th winners, so Bianca is likely to meet in the finals.

Kim Dae-chan liked it, saying he avoided difficult opponents.

The Korean press is also scolding, saying that it will be burdensome because it is the first match, but it is lucky that the match is good because it avoided Bianca, a strong candidate for the championship.

I really don’t like this situation.

“Sejin-ah.”

“Yes?”

Sejin’s first opponent is a Ukrainian spearman who uses a unique spear.

“It’s our first game, so let’s make an impact. Don’t look at it and finish it as quickly as possible.”

“Yes! I’ll be right back.”

Soon after Sejin went up to the arena, the opponent also came up.

The referee bowed and blew his whistle.

Had it been 10 seconds?

The game is over.

It was because at the same time as the whistle sounded, Sejin immediately rushed at the opponent and blew the spear away.

It was a really pointless match, but the round of 32 was no different from the round of 64.

No, it was rather easier.

The opponent in the round of 32 is an Italian mage.

Maybe he was trying to follow Bianca’s strategy last year, and from the start, he quickly used restraint magic with Memorize, but Sejin broke the magic with a spirit, and rushed in, aiming a sword at the wizard’s neck.

Magical students are given a distance of 50m, which is 30m longer than the existing 20m, but if they use their inner strength, it is just a means of delaying a few more seconds for Sejin, who easily breaks 100m in 6 seconds.

11 seconds in the round of 64, 18 seconds in the round of 32. If this is the result, Sejin will receive the most attention, so I thought that Sejin will not be ignored anymore.

However, it was last year’s winner, Bianca, who received the most attention and made headlines.

Of course, it wasn’t just last year’s winner that got attention.

Bianca, known as a sorceress, came out with a sword and won by defeating the Brazilian martial artist and the Polish swordsman in turn.

Both matches were decided later than Sejin, but that had nothing to do with it.

Bianca never used magic in either match.

It was a game in Gyeonggi-do, but I was really surprised to see the interview after the game.

“You’ve already won twice with magic, right? This time, I want to win with a sword.”

“So, are you planning on not using magic at all in this WHCU competition?”

“well. Still, I participated on behalf of the UK, so I’ll use it in case of emergency… Is there a student who can make me like that?”

It’s an arrogant remark indeed, but it deserves to be said enough because it’s a two-time winner.

What surprised me is not this part.

“How can you use a sword when a swordsman and a wizard have completely different mana qualities and even different colors?”

“Thanks to my research. Actually, I was going to go get research materials, but my father got them for me on my birthday.”

“Vice-Chairman Conrad?”

“Yes. Thanks to that, I came out to prove the theory myself. After the competition is over, we will organize it and make an official announcement, so please look forward to it.”

Even in the original work, Kim Do-hyun, the original protagonist, is a prosecutor, so he cannot use magic even if he learns the inner core method.

The only one who uses magic and sword at the same time is Lee Ji-seong, the original wizard who possesses the character.

Of course, unlike the original work, I sold the corpse of the giant sandworm this time and Bianca’s research was completed, but even if I didn’t sell it and proceeded as in the original story, Bianca would run away and get the body of the giant sandworm herself.

Even in the original work, if Bianca can use magic and a sword at the same time, there’s no way she won’t be mentioned in the original work, and there’s no way the weight is that small.

Something is strange.
