liquid-!!
The wooden sword held at an angle tore through the air..
It's a creepy sound even to me..
Schlissel).
This is his third original biggie, which he imitated with [Imitation of God] at the request of Dyke a little while ago..
Hold the sword hilt firmly with both hands and thrust it forward at chest height..
‘The fastest stabbing technique.’
Schlischel also means ‘key’, so you can roughly guess what the action is..
Why I chose stabbing as my secret weapon.
Because I realized something while sparring with Lucia..
‘Stab attacks are the most difficult to deal with.’
Slashes and slashes are relatively easy to block..
Not only is the movement large, but it is also possible to block the opponent's attack to some extent just by placing the sword in the path..
But the sting is not like that..
The acceleration while running is scary, but.
‘It is a point-shaped attack aimed at one point..’
Blocking the sharp and thin tip of a sword is incredibly difficult..
This is even more true if what you are holding is a thin weapon like a ‘sword’..
I block incoming attacks with my sword with the sole intention of creating a hole in my body.?
It's impossible. Before you can block it, somewhere in your body will be pierced..
‘Even if you are lucky enough to position yourself well and block it, it will bounce off and leave a hole in one of your body..’
Of course, if you are as skilled as Lucia, it might be possible..
In fact, there were a few times when he blocked my stabbing in sparring..
But things are very different than then..
Currently, Lucia is angry at the fact that she was deceived and is rushing towards her..
And my stab is not a normal stab, but a tie that boasts the highest attack power among Dyke's special moves..
‘It would be impossible to stop the stabbing in this situation.!’
There are only two options left for Lucia..
to confront or avoid.
But what I've cast now is a special move that even Lucia has never seen before..
I won't be so quick to think of stabbing you..
In other words, Lucia will choose to avoid.
‘Follow in the direction you fled and finish off with a single strike.!’
Broken posture due to forcefully avoiding a stab.
If you face [Ilsom] head on in that position,?
6It will be difficult to stop it with the power of a castle knight..
I can see Lucia's shaking eyes..
It means everything is going according to plan..
‘Left or right? Hurry up and choose.’
The more you narrow the distance, the more destructive power of [Ilsum] will double..
It was a time when I was concentrating all my attention on Lucia’s movements..
however.
Wow!!
“……!!”
I couldn't help but widen my eyes..
It's not because of a sudden spark..
‘I stopped this!?’
Yes. My spleen sting is blocked..
Currently, Lucia is laying the wooden sword horizontally and holding the blade firmly with her left hand..
And the tip of my wooden sword was trembling as it touched the center of Lucia's wooden sword..
Block a stab aimed at one point with the sword..
Lucia accomplished the impossible..
‘This damn monster……!’
Lucia's wooden sword, with its iron core slightly exposed due to impact. Behind him, Lucia's eyes shone brightly..
Why people don't often use this powerful and hard-to-block sting.
This is because of the fatal problem of stabbing, which leaves many gaps after a failed attack..
Tung!
Lucia lightly struck away my wooden sword and stabbed it in a straight line..
A movement so clean that it feels beautiful..
I quickly rolled on the ground and dodged the attack..
rolling around-.
A dodge as clean as Lucia's moves..
Does that mean he admits that? Lucia whistled lightly..
“Hmm~ Anyway, in a moment of crisis, you are quicker than anyone else..”
“Hehe, Lucia must have looked beautiful too.?”
“no. It was messy. Did it move like a cockroach? Oh, of course it's a compliment. That's high praise too.”
Lucia raised both hands above her head and lightly placed the wooden sword with its iron core exposed behind her neck..
“It's a shame. The sword was light. I don't think I could have stopped it if it was a great sword..”
“…….”
Yes. Dyke's weapon is a great sword, while mine is a regular double-edged sword..
But I don't think the operation failed because of those differences..
If I had brought a great sword to make this operation successful in the first place, I would not have been able to fight properly due to proficiency issues, and the speed of [Slash] and [Sky Cleave] would have been greatly different..
‘Before that, it would have aroused Lucia's suspicions..’
If I had brought a greatsword that I don't normally use, Lucia would have been on guard and I wouldn't have been able to come here..
So, it is difficult to say that my strategy failed simply due to the difference in weapons..
More than anything.
‘How many pieces of groundbait have I laid so far?!’
He made Lucia take a step back with the [Fleur clan style] posture she used during personal training..
Incite anger and use Dyke's hidden secret weapon..
In addition, psychological warfare using the [Open Eyes] skill was used..
‘I did not use the eye opening skill this time..’
When I first met Lucia, when we sparred for a month, and even during this 5 minute fight..
When using secret techniques, I always used the [Open Eyes] skill together..
There is also an intention to make the other person nervous or embarrassed..
‘'Every time Zero uses his secret weapon, his eyes open'.
I learned it. Right now, for this moment.
however…….
‘Even though I didn't open my eyes when using Schlichel, I noticed it was a secret..’
Yes. The reason this operation failed was purely because Lucia was strong..
beyond my imagination.
“……Hehe, you really have no mercy. Isn’t it okay for you to take a look??”
“Huh~? What~? Is it because it is the word of the weak? I can't hear it at all?”
“The way he does his best for the weak. It looks very nice. A paragon of the empire, paragon..”
“You didn't do your best at all? I'm only using the power of a 6-star knight.!”
“hmm? Can you hear me? Then I guess I'm not a weakling..”
“……Anyway, I have to figure out how to crush that tongue..”
Lucia grumbled..
My tone of voice is calm, but I am currently angry inside..
‘This fucking shit game!’
I've shown you enough! How can I get recognized?!
There is no path to victory, no breakthrough in sight..
Is this really a quest made to wake you up??
“stop. The test ends here..”
While I was venting my anger inside, Charon appeared near us..
“I wasted too much time. There is also a test for the next group, so I will end it here..”
The end? Does this mean the quest ends in vain like this??
“……what is my score?”
“I hate to admit it, but I will get full marks. It's surprising that he was able to stand alone against a 6-star knight, but he brought his strength to the limit of a 6-star knight..”
“no it's not? I just used the level of power that reached 6 stars.?”
“Now you don’t even know how much power you used? You look old..”
“Who, who is the lady?!”
“……I don't remember saying that.”
Lucia jumped on Charon's shoulder and ripped his hair out..
It's quite a sight to behold, but not for me now..
“I can't admit it.”
“Are you saying you're not satisfied with this much? You're too greedy..”
“Okay, why don't you just give up? This is an incredibly good job. They say the score is perfect.”
“Giving up is also courage. Those who don't know the line are just an illusion..”
……Give up?
Suddenly, life on Earth came to mind..
A life that started as an orphan. From then on, life for me was a series of giving up..
From the time I was an elementary school student when it was difficult to even buy snacks, to the time when I was a middle school and high school student when it was difficult to get even a book I wanted to read..
My life as a college student ended while I was studying to get a scholarship and working part-time to earn living expenses..
The world called society has finally been reached after much hardship..
But it was too much of a place to give up..
The only thing I haven't given up on is.
‘There's only one game.’
I came across “Academy Hero” by chance when I was in elementary school.」.
This game... … No, there was only this world.
So you can't give up. At least this world I love.
I never wanted to give up.
“Please take me down instead..”
“Is there really a reason to do that??”
“Hehe, aren't you able to proceed with the next exam? I think that alone is enough reason to take me down.?”
Lucia was scratching her head in frustration..
Soon she shook her head..
“Ugh, okay. Instead, there is no need to say anything because it hurts..”
The fight with Lucia has begun again..
Swing, block, use tricks, use tricks,.
Lucia blocks my attacks very easily..
Powok!
Lucia's wooden sword touched my body..
sick. I want to lie down right now and say, ‘The teacher is hitting someone.’.
But I can't fall like this.
“Are you going to do more? I can't watch it anymore.”
“……Hehe, that's what I hope.”
“don't regret.”
The wooden sword continued to hit my body..
I tried my best to avoid fatal injuries..
If you hit one spot correctly, Charon will stop the test, saying you will die instantly..
Powok!
It's a monster.
No secret prayers, no artifacts, no psychological warfare, no tricks, no knowledge of the deceased that he boasted so much about..
nothing works.
effort is negated.
The time I've spent so far, everything I've accumulated.
It feels like the world is whispering that it was meaningless..
-Yes, hard work doesn't always lead to good results. Instead, more often than not, they laugh at me and betray me..
Is it because my physical strength is low or because my mental strength is exhausted? Or is it because Lucia is beating me up?.
I hear a voice.
-The world doesn't revolve around you. But someone is watching you closely. Isn't that enough to live in this world??
It was my first time hearing the voice, but I immediately knew who it was..
‘It's their line..
I've seen their lines so many times that I know the last sentence just from the first sentence..
-The opportunity doesn't end with this one time. Repetition of failure and success. Isn't that what life is??
Those who were called heroes in the game.
Those who met the end without becoming heroes in the end.
The cries of heroes that only I know, who sacrificed themselves in places no one knows about..
It becomes fragments and swirls around my ears..
Wow-.
I held my sword straight and stood up straight..
Yeah, what's wrong with failing? It's not a quest that kills you if you fail in the first place..
Hidden pieces and quests I saw for the first time.
Maybe it was my greed that tried to break it from the beginning.
‘If it's a failure, I've tried it dozens, hundreds, thousands of times.!’
yes i know.
Everything I thought was a failure.
These are the pieces that lead to success.
The fact that this game.
This damn world.
It's you guys.
‘You told me!’
So to me.
This means don’t you dare urge me to give up.!
“Haaaaaaaap!!”
Taaaaaaaaa-!!
A sound so pure that it feels empty.
The wooden sword I struck vertically was touching Lucia's wooden sword..
a simple swing.
A blow that wasn't even worth blocking.
But why? Lucia was smiling softly behind her wooden sword..
Soon, Lucia and Charon's mouths opened at the same time..
“pass.”
“……I passed..”
words of unknown meaning.
At the same time, several information windows appeared before my eyes..
