Academy Squints, but is not dark-Episode 141
Episode 141
141fury. My skills are top-notch, but my swordsmanship is third-rate.!(2)
“What, why are you so weak??”
1Seconds after the first sparring.
He sparred a second and third time, thinking he may have miscontrolled his strength, but the result was the same..
My wingless body flew through the sky. That too three times.
“…….”
I am stuck on the ground in an awkward posture after being blown away..
Lucia's lament was heard behind him..
“No, you don't even know the basics of fighting, let alone swordsmanship, right? How did you enroll? Has the admission standard for Annwood Academy been lowered significantly??”
A disdain bordering on ridicule. But I couldn't refute it.
Because there was nothing particularly wrong with Lucia’s evaluation..
‘Because it's true that I'm weak.’
Among the skills Lucia possesses are [swordsmanship], [reflexes], and [body vision]. Even though I imitated as many as three things, this is the extent of it..
It may be because of the large level difference, but I am good at swordsmanship... … To be precise, it was more because I didn't know how to fight well..
[Swordsmanship] Skills are limited to angles, timing, spacing, etc. It's just a skill that assists the sword I'm swinging..
That is, swinging the sword, blocking, dodging, etc. This means that I must take the initiative in attacking and defending..
But there's no way I, a beginner in fighting, can do that well..
Since she blocks when she should attack and attacks when she should block, from Lucia's perspective, it will feel more than strange, it will feel absurd..
“Even if it's not enough, it's still not enough? Even if you play it well, it’s third-rate..”
Yes. If I were to summarize my current situation in one line:.
‘My skills are top-notch, but my swordsmanship is third-rate.!’
……I will go.
“The instantaneous reaction and response aren't bad, but... … That means your judgment is at a beginner's level. Are they just physically superior? But that doesn't make sense…….”
Lucia's eyes were filled with doubt..
Currently, I have been dreaming of becoming the Leicester family's rat and living a life of revenge..
But he fights worse than a third-rate gangster.?
Since this was impossible, it was only natural that it would lead to suspicion..
‘In addition, it was used to split the sky and split the sky.…….’
Lucia's suspicions are bound to increase..
But the excuse for this is already prepared..
“Hehe, I lived a life that prioritized information. I have minimal combat skills..”
“You use your family's secrets well, right??”
“Big game has a specific posture. All you have to do is follow along, it can't be difficult..”
“…… Usually it's the other way around, right? If you can imitate it after seeing it once or twice, it can't be called Biggie, right??”
“Hehe, is that so? I don't understand. How difficult is it to follow?.”
“…….”
What a ridiculously weak excuse. But it will work for Lucia..
‘Because Lucia also belongs to the category of genius..’
Lucia has been praised as a ‘hero’ since she was 30 years old..
He ascended to the position of the Ten Swordsmen of the Empire much earlier than that..
Being called a genius must have been around even longer than that..
‘You probably didn't understand other people. Because that's what a genius is.’
Contemporaries, seniors, adults, and even people called geniuses at the time.
Even as they knelt down one by one, they must have had doubts..
Why can't I do this? Why are we fighting like this? Why are you acting so stupid??
And at some point, Lucia must have realized.
He said it was because he was a genius and different from other people..
Of course, this does not deny Lucia's efforts in sharpening her sword for decades, but it is also undeniable that she had a genius talent..
Maybe now Lucia is feeling her old self in me..
“……Was it something like that?.”
As proof, Lucia nodded..
Doubt turned into certainty. From the suspicion that he was a ‘weird guy’ to the conviction that ‘this guy is a genius’.
“You can also follow swordsmanship, right? Then it would be easy.”
“Hehe, there are so many different branches of swordsmanship. It’s also true that you have to react differently depending on the other person..”
“Hmm~ That’s right. Because each opponent has different weapons, personalities, and styles..”
“That's right.”
“So the only thing that can be imitated is Biggie...? … What a strange talent. Well, it's a talent that's perfect for the suspicious, shady, and perverted person you are..”
There were some strange comments attached to it, but I decided not to raise any objections..
Because it was important to get over this situation for now..
Soon Lucia nodded..
“good. Anyway, I want to learn swordsmanship.?”
“Hehehe, that’s right. As you know, there are many restrictions on the draw..”
“Not only are there a lot of eyes watching, but you also have to measure the timing. This world is not so easy that you can overpower your opponent just by using a secret technique..”
After all, it is Lucia. If you pretend, you pretend..
Being able to use secret techniques is definitely a big advantage, but creating timing is a skill of the sword..
It is each individual’s ‘skill’.
If you buy time with swordsmanship, discover your opponent's loopholes, and use secret techniques appropriate to the situation, you will be able to end the battle several times more easily than you are now..
“But it's difficult. There's only one way to solve your problem now.”
“Are you talking about experience??”
“that's right.”
Yes. What I need most right now is experience.’
Gaining experience through sparring can dramatically improve your skills..
I was aware of this problem before..
But it was impossible for me. Why??
‘If it is treated poorly by children, the concept will fall apart..’
A suspicious guy, a strong guy, a guy you shouldn't mess with..
If that concept were to be broken, it would be no different from everything we had built so far going in vain..
‘Until now, I have used God's imitation to attack and suppress my opponents with overwhelming force.…….’
It's going to be difficult in the future.
You need to gain experience in fighting in earnest..
‘You can easily gain experience if you ask Luna, Alex, Rodelin, or Raymon.…….’
It's like finding out that I don't know how to fight..
I was planning to ask them to cross swords with those kids after I got a little stronger and learned the basics of fighting..
‘Even if you lose, you can just make an excuse that you are experimenting with various things..’
Anyway, for this reason, it is impossible to ask those kids to spar..
In other words, the options I have left now are…….
“Are you okay? Well, it doesn't matter because I'm having fun..”
……It means that there is only one monster, Lucia..
Lucia noticed my situation and smiled..
I was very prepared, but when I saw that image, my heart sank..
but.
“……Please be gentle.”
“I'm going to relieve some stress after a long time. Oh, no personal feelings. know?”
“Hehe, I don't have any personal feelings, but wouldn't it be an error in logic to relieve stress??”
“It's not?”
Lucia's mouth was torn from side to side..
A hellish sparring has begun.
* * *
A few sparring… … No, the one-sided assault continued about ten times?.
“Ah, I feel a little less stressed now..”
This is what Lucia, sitting on my back, said..
Yes. Currently, I was lying face down on the ground. Of course, it was by someone else’s will..
Lucia was lost in thought for a moment before opening her mouth..
“When I looked at it earlier, it seemed like there were some strange movements here and there... … Is that a draw too??”
He's probably talking about the Fleur family's secret story..
Most of the sparring was over in just one minute, but in the last sparring, Lucia accepted my sword in due time..
I used the Fleur family's secret technique in the process, and Lucia was pointing it out..
“you're right. if… … Was it not that good??”
“No, it's because it was the least worthy of your swordsmanship. What can I say… … Should I say that the basics are solid??”
“Hehe, you recognize me. you're right. The basics of swordsmanship are very solid..”
“What kind of family is this??”
“Hehe, that's right…….”
‘It was when I was about to say, ‘It’s a secret.’ Lucia raised her fist..
“If you tell me it's a secret, I'll kill you.”
“……This is the secret story of the Fleur family..”
“Fleur family? It's my first time hearing this family.?”
“This is the family name of Mr. Lein. He was called ‘Lein of imitation’.…….”
“Lein of imitation? What is that dog-bone-like tinnitus? This is a tinnitus I’ve never heard of before..”
You treat Lee Myeong, who helped you become an official teacher at Annwood Academy, like a stranger..
Well, from Lucia’s perspective, it was only natural..
‘Because Lucia is a monster.’
There are only monsters around monsters.
I feel sorry for Mr. Lein, but his skills are far from sufficient to be called a monster..
What Lucia knew was even stranger..
“Anyway, that's weird..”
“Hehe, some parts are strange.?”
“The basics of swordsmanship are solid, but... … something is missing There is no such thing as ‘wow!’ It's really strange…….”
“……‘'Pop'?”
“No, is it ‘kuwawak’? Anyway it's really strange.”
“…….”
Are you really the weird one? ‘Pop!’, ‘Kwawak!’ What on earth is that??
Did you encounter a problem with your [Interpretation] skills while flying in the sky??
‘A problem has arisen because of being beaten, so if you beat it, it might be fixed. All machines(?) are like that.?’
I'm not sure if the info window belongs to the machine category, but it's probably similar..
It was a time when I was pounding the innocent [Interpretation] skill several times with my fist in the information window..
“Does this mean there is nothing definitive??”
It was Luna. Luna came to us, her whole body covered in sweat..
“Yes, that's right. After all, swordsmanship was created to hurt someone, right? But I don't have it.”
“As expected, it was like that. I've felt that way for a long time too. like… … Is it like a secret weapon created just for one’s own training??”
“It’s training… … Hey, show me. Let's take a look.”
So I ended up performing the Fleur family's secret show in front of Lucia and Luna..
Dance, blade, wings, darkness, sky.
It was the time when all five special skills were demonstrated..
“Hmm… … Is it like this??”
Lucia revealed the secret secrets of the Fleur family..
Even as someone who is not familiar with swordsmanship, I could see that it was a perfect move..
It felt like it was more than just cool, it was beautiful..
Lucia completed five draws. she said as if she realized something.
“Isn’t it interesting? The muscles that are trained are different. Taken together, it's designed to train the muscles of your entire body.?”
“Muscle training?”
“Yes, and the central muscles are involved in all movements. First of all, it's not a secret technique in swordsmanship. What can I say… … Should I call it the secret of training??”
It's the secret of training?
Something passed through my head..
‘Synergy Skill.’
A skill that exerts additional effects when other skills exist.
A representative example is Alex’s [Hard Worker] skill, which helps the growth of other skills..
If the skill called [Fleur Family Stream] is of that type,?
“Lucia! Please look at me this time. Spar with me too!”
“Oh my, you’re bothering this old man… … Really these days…….”
Lucia grumbled and left my side..
chin-.
I stood up, relying on my sword..
Even though my feet are shaking, there is a possibility that I might discover a new hidden piece..
The desire and desire of the deceased took possession of my body..
I don't know the answer, but what I have to do is decided..
Huh-!
trying.
This is what can be recognized by Lucia.
Because it's the only way.
* * *
Huh-!
My whole body is covered in sweat. There's a sweet smell in my mouth that makes me want to wash my mouth right away..
I don't know how many hours have passed. I don't know how many times I'm repeating this action..
No, I don't even want to know in the first place..
Now it's about finding out something hidden in the Fleur family's secret..
Other than that, there was nothing else I wanted to know..
It was time to repeat the first movement again..
Grumble!
The sword slipped and left my hand..
‘shit.’
My concentration was broken. It was when I picked up the sword while grumbling..
[You have faithfully practiced the Fleur family’s swordsmanship. That's a lot of concentration.]
[match rate 34.3%.]
[As a reward, your agility stat increases by 0.3.]
……what.
Why is this going up??
