The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 176
(5)
9.
brown haired female.
Seeing her suddenly approaching this way, Noah narrowed his eyes..
‘Limer Yen Rapidis.’
The first woman to reach Master.
However, it is not a named character. She is destined to end her life together with the fall of the Ruben Empire before facing her abyss..
“oh sister!”
Upon Rimmer's appearance, Perticia waved her hand happily. Rimmer, on the other hand, sighed with a face devoid of the slightest trace of laughter..
“……tisha.”
“huh?”
“Why did you want to go to the fountain of magic??”
A question that flew in like an interrogation.
It was a somewhat pressured voice, but Perticia answered without hesitation..
“I'm just a little concerned?”
“which part?”
“The spirits kept whispering. I hear a familiar smell from over there.”
She pointed to the southeast.
This is the direction of the fountain of magical power..
In response, Rimer let out a short sigh and spoke again as if warning..
“Even so, you can't go.”
“but…….”
“The fountain of magic is dangerous. Just looking at this year, all sorts of things have happened.”
Disappearance, isolation, monster attacks, etc..
All of these incidents happened in the last half year.
At Rimmer's words, Noah made an awkward expression. Because all the incidents she mentioned were related to the uhlans..
“Can't we just go to the entrance??”
“never.”
“Then just look at it from afar…….”
“If you keep insisting like that, I'll tell my uncle about the conversation we just had..”
Right after the word uncle came out, Perticia's mouth closed tightly. The 'uncle' Rimmer said was a slang term for Chartrand..
“…….”
If it gets to Chartrand's ears that she tried to access the magic spring, she might have to leave the academy..
Perticia, who was well aware of this fact, pouted her lips with an anguished face..
“Chi, okay. I won't go.”
“yeah, never go.”
Rimer, trustworthy until the end.
Perticia nodded with a sullen face. At the same time, on the other hand, she glanced in the direction of the fountain of extended magic, as if she still had lingering feelings..
So when I tried to pay attention again.
“me, there…….”
Suddenly someone spoke.
The blonde girl who was with Perticia. As Lee Mer looked away from her, the girl continued her speech with a tense face..
“Are you Sir Lapidis??”
“yes, but who are you?”
“oh! i, that's…….”
She stutters in embarrassment.
After a while, the girl politely bowed her head and said her name..
“This is Ybela Elead.!”
After a brief self-introduction, she raised her head again, her face flushed..
“It is a sincere honor to meet you! Uh, I've admired Lord Lapidis ever since I was little.!”
Ibella Can't Conceal Her Excitement.
what she said was true.
‘I said it often in my past life.’
About the reason why he picked up the sword and the female knight he admired the most in the world. Perhaps, given the circumstances, the female knight was Rimer..
“That's what I mean!”
Around the time when I was talking about how I really wanted to meet Rimmer. This Bella asked cautiously, as if firmly determined to do something about her..
“If you don't mind rudeness, may I ask Lord Lapidis for instruction??”
“oh, teaching.”
“You can decline it if you are busy.!”
Ibella hurriedly waved her hand..
He seemed to be trying hard not to burden the knight he admired as much as possible..
Meanwhile, Rimer glanced not at Ibela, but at Ulan behind him. After a while, she replied with a smile on her face..
“no, i think it will be fine.”
“that, that word……!”
“The training ground is nearby, so let's fight lightly. without using mana. how?”
“I'm honored!”
Ibella's face was dyed with fire..
The two soon headed to the military training ground, and Ulan's party naturally followed..
10.
military training camp.
While preparing for the match that suddenly took place, onlookers gathered one by one..
Most of the students of the Military Faculty.
Also, some professors.
That's right.
The match between a promising talent and one of the masters of the empire will be a good spectacle..
When I was warming up and preparing.
Rimmer stared at the girl in front of him..
‘Isabella Elead.’
In fact, even before she revealed her name, Rimmer knew who Ibella was..
If you've ever had contact with Perticia, you've already got all the information..
‘He said he was the illegitimate son of Count Deorg..’
Blind Sword, Istan el Deorg.
Even if he is an illegitimate child, it is true that he inherited his blood..
So, my curiosity was piqued..
Would the talent be inherited?.
Rimmer, his eyes twinkling, lightly wielded his training sword and spoke straight away..
“tell me when you're ready.”
“oh i just finished.”
“good. then let's start?”
“yes i look forward to!”
A brave reply came back.
After that, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed..
The two facing each other while holding onto the sword.
The two of them, each estimating the distance, kicked the ground at the same time, regardless of who said first..
A sword that crosses the air.
After exchanging sword strikes several times, Rimmer narrowed his eyes as if he had noticed something..
‘This…….’
It's not Deorg's swordsmanship.
could be asserted 'Cause in the past, I've seen Istan el Deorg's sword..
And now, Ibela's sword couldn't even find a trace of Deorg. But it wasn't anything particularly strange. Rather, it was natural.
‘Because I'm an illegitimate child.’
The unique swordsmanship of Deorg's black family.
Only the heir to inherit the family can learn. So, it is not strange that there is no trace of Deorg in Ybela's swordsmanship..
‘and…….’
One more thing, there's something special about it.
It is that Ibella's sword is a swordsmanship that has never been seen anywhere else. Rimmer, who had drawn the sword, muttered as he distanced himself for a moment..
“It's a fun swordsmanship.”
“hehe, thank you.”
“It's not imperial swordsmanship, where did you learn it?”
“oh i made it.”
“……what?”
Rimer blankly asks.
It was a natural reaction. Making swordsmanship is not as easy as it sounds..
Rather than simply thinking about how to wield a sword, each sword must have a shape and form a formula..
In other words, it is a very complex, sophisticated and time-consuming task. But I have to be surprised that you have already made swordsmanship..
‘Let's try to see if it's real?’
Rimer's eyes changed..
At the same time, the sword is also quite different from before..
Soon, ferocious swords resembling Istan El Deorg, the blind sword of the South, rained down like a storm..
Papababababak!
Unstoppable sword attack.
Despite the considerable pressure, Evela calmly received Rimer's sword. In this process, Rimmer finally realized.
‘it's real.’
Ibella's sword is a proper swordsmanship with form and expression..
And sometimes, depending on the situation, he wields a sword that is completely out of formality..
‘But it's not just random swinging..’
rather threatening.
It didn't move along the sword path, it flew freely like the wind.
and one more thing.
I had a new realization.
“I'll ask you just in case.”
“yes?”
“Just a sword, when was it made??”
“oh that's it…….”
“tell me it's okay.”
As I repeatedly pressed for an answer, Ibella scratched her cheek with an awkward face. Then he answered in a calm tone.
“1minutes ago.”
also. prediction was correct.
Ibella's sword is not bound by a specific format. A sword that changes dynamically depending on the situation.
That's Ybela's sword.
And it was also a method that Rimer, who was already entangled in swordsmanship, could not use..
‘where the hell…….’
Something like this monster came out?
Rimmer was genuinely impressed. Then I asked the question again.
“Is it the way you came up with it yourself??”
“yes? what does that mean…….”
“I'm asking if you realized yourself that you don't have to be bound by swordsmanship..”
To be honest, I can't believe this.
Realizing that there was no need to be bound by swordsmanship was a realization that I only gained after reaching the level of a Limerdo master..
Meanwhile, right after her question.
Ibella shook her head..
“No, Ulan taught me.”
The day after the entrance exam.
She sought advice from Ulan, whom she came across in the forest. And at the time, Ulan gave a completely unexpected answer..
「Abandon the family swordsmanship.」
unconventional answer.
advice continued.
「Increase the power you put on your sword a little more, and reduce unnecessary things. Finally, find a swordsmanship that only you can do, not your family..」
Then you will become a master much sooner.
Ulan said so confidently..
Ibela, who brought out the memory of the time, smiled bashfully shyly..
“I've been fixing it since then.”
He abandoned his family's swordsmanship and found his own sword. That was the sword that abandoned the formality.
At the end of all the answers.
Rimmer's eyes widened..
“how can that be?”
No matter how much advice you take, it's never easy to give up your family swordsmanship..
Even if you listen to the story, Ibela and Ulan at the time were like first acquaintances..
But what on earth did he believe in and heeded Ulan's advice? So when you put on a face that you couldn't understand.
“Because it's Ulan.”
“……what?”
“You can trust anything Ulan says.”
Eyes without an inch of doubt.
Seeing the eyes full of absolute confidence and trust, Rimmer's face turned dazed for an instant..
At the same time, curiosity soared..
What on earth did he see by Ulan's side that gave him such strong conviction? Rimmer glanced at Ulan's location..
some time after that.
The fierce battle came to an end.
perok!
The blow that poured through the moment. Soon, with a strong shock, this Bella missed her sword.
“……lost.”
She meekly admitted defeat..
Because at the point of losing the weapon, victory or defeat was virtually decided. Meanwhile, Rimer approached us and smiled brightly..
“it was great work.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, if I hadn't reached the level of a master, I would have been defeated..”
never empty words.
Although he had just reached the level of a high-ranking knight, I can assure you that his swordsmanship skills were beyond that..
Even if it was a real battle, I could easily deal with even an expert..
‘Oh, I see…….’
In the middle of giving thanks to Ibella, there was a person who suddenly crossed my mind..
Imperial Swordsmanship Genius.
Deorg's successor, Himel Deorg.
Recalling the man he had seen once, Rimmer burst into laughter..
‘There are no real geniuses.’
Himel's skill is also extraordinary, but it is nothing compared to Ybela. To put it more bluntly, the level of talent itself is completely different..
‘If he works hard enough to die, there's a chance he'll become a Master someday.…….’
Ibella, on the other hand, is different..
she is unconditionally master.
Because I have a lot of talent.
‘If there is a variable, it must be the timing.’
With the same thoughts as Ulan had said before, Rimmer secured his sword. At the same time, he had this thought.
‘maybe soon…….’
That the sixth Master of the Empire might be born. When she finished thinking she would have laughed enough to catch her mouth from ear to ear if this Bella had heard it..
Isabella asked cautiously..
“Is there anything I can fix?”
“no, perfect.”
A firm reply came back.
Knowing that no bad advice is bad enough, Rimmer shook his head..
It was also true that it was perfect..
“And with a great strongman by your side, you'd better ask him.”
Rimmer staring at Ulan.
Later, after the sparring, Perticia, who was watching it outside the training ground, approached..
“You've worked hard, sister..”
Cool water and dry towel.
But Rimmer did not accept it..
“I'm sorry, can I get it later??”
“huh? why?”
“The sparring isn't over yet.”
“Yes? what does that mean?”
Perticia tilted her head, as if not understanding Rimer's answer. Meanwhile, Rimmer, who finished answering, suddenly raised his sword..
A sword aimed outside the training ground.
In the place where the tip of the sword was headed, there was a person she had been keeping an eye on..
“Ulaanbaatar.”
A quiet word.
The corners of the mouth draw an arc and rise. At the same time, even the dry eyes lingered around.
and at that moment.
Rimmer's true purpose revealed.
“ask you for instruction.”
Eyes shining like bright stars.
That's the truth I've been hiding all along.
It was a very hostile look..
42page. an unbeatable fight
