Academy Squinting, but not dark-Episode 98
Episode 98
98fury. First boss, Lein(16)
Imitation. It might be good at first.
Just by following along, you'll progress quickly, and people who don't know you well will look up to you..
I have been like that too..
「When there is a quest in “Hero of the Academy” that you wanted to complete but failed..
When I can't get the hidden piece I want.
I searched for strategy cafes and succeeded in getting what I wanted by imitating their play..
but.
‘Not funny.’
Exactly what someone else played.
The space you move to, the choice of dialogue, and even the angle and time of skill use..
Following in someone else's footsteps may give you momentary satisfaction, but.
The fun and happiness you can feel when you do it yourself.
it didn't give.
Yes. You have to carve your own path and play in ways that others haven't thought of..
It's fun, it's happy, and only then can it be called a stagnant object..
“You can be called a hero.”
* * *
“Lein! What are you doing now?!”
“…….”
“You're in such trouble because you can't even defeat that brat! Do you think this makes sense?!”
Lein. He was talking to the devil now..
To be exact, it is the devil in the magic sword..
9class. lesser devil among lesser devils.
“Let’s make an additional contract! If you sign a second contract with me, I can send a guy like that out in one fell swoop.!”
The devil's whisper tickled Lehain's ears..
Lein closed his eyes. He didn't want to hear or see anything.
OK.
Memories of the past that I had forgotten arose again..
After being kicked out of the Leicester family, he continued to practice swordsmanship while wandering around the empire..
I happened to meet that guy..
A fourteen-year-old child who insulted his older brother and left..
Of course, he was now a healthy young man, twenty-two years older..
“Ah, well. I used to be! He was a guy with great skills.!”
“Hey Mr. La. Shut up and have a drink!”
Lein quietly waited for the drinking party to end..
And at the very moment when he, drunk, entered a deserted alley..
“duel with me.”
challenged to a duel.
I don't know why, but I felt like I had to..
“what? Crazy guy! Get away from me!”
“……The duel has already begun.”
After throwing a sword, the duel began..
The game was decided before even three sums had passed..
“Okay, okay, okay.!!”
A brat with a cut arm rolled around on the floor..
3I don't think it was even a centimeter cut..
Lein grabbed his hair and proudly declared:.
“How do you feel, you brat??”
“Huh, huh... … What a guy! Who the hell are you?!”
“This is Lein of the Fleur family. You were defeated by the Fleur family..”
“what? Fleur? No way! The swordsmanship just now was that of the Laengta family! You are definitely not from the Fleur family.!”
“No, I am clearly from the Fleur family. This is Lein, the second son of the Fleur family.!”
Leain not recognized.
And the unrecognized victory of the Fleur family.
Lein was filled with anger all the way to his head..
“Ah, well! That can't be possible! The Fleur family is an impressive family with a solid structure! I'm not dancing like you just did, like some flimsy piece of trash.!”
I'm crying!
Garbage? What I have accumulated so far?
“Now, wait! I made a mistake... … Ugh!”
Lein immediately plucked the damn pear..
I found out later that he was such a mess that even his family abandoned him..
I got kicked out of the academy too.
You don't have to worry about murder..
But Lein had no choice but to fall into deep trouble..
“……I'm not from the Fleur family?”
That evening, after practicing the Fleur family's swordsmanship all day, I realized.
His own swordsmanship is already far from that of the Fleur family..
It was safe to say it was a different sword technique..
‘It's not bad.’
Why Lein left the family.
It was to make the Fleur family's swordsmanship stronger by incorporating the swordsmanship of other families..
It was a little bit like it became a completely different sword technique, but…….
‘We've come too far. I have no choice but to do what I do.’
I sincerely hope that this path is right.
From then on, he devoted himself even more to imitation, and his reputation began to rise..
The name of Lephael, a man of 100 battles and defeats, was soon forgotten, and the name of Lein of imitation came to represent the Fleur family..
It's been 10 years since I left the family..
Lein decides to return to his family..
His older brother, Rafael, gave him a warm welcome upon his return..
The problem happened at dinner..
“Brother, I have improved my family’s swordsmanship. From now on, let’s use this as our family’s swordsmanship..”
Lein said confidently.
Because the swordsmanship he created was that powerful..
But what came back.
“……Lein, haven’t you figured it out yet??”
“yes?”
“Phew… … Since I came back after 10 years, I thought I would have figured it out... … It was my mistake.”
“older brother… … I just did my best for my family. How could you do this to me?!”
Lein was furious..
They imitated the swordsmanship of other families, were ridiculed, and suffered countless insults and persecution..
“They say that's the imitation Lein?”
“Hahaha! He's a funny guy. Imitate the swordsmanship of other families?”
“Should I teach my family’s swordsmanship??”
Pride, pride, pride. I threw it all away.
It was to build up the family. But I can't accept it!
You didn't even ask to see me!
“Isn’t our family’s swordsmanship weak? Enough to lose to a fourteen-year-old child!”
“Aww, I don't, but you have talent. You can definitely become stronger than them. It is possible to do it from now on..”
“This is trash swordsmanship.?”
“……Do you know what steel is?.”
Strong and hard, a lump of iron mixed with various things.
But it is also a steel that can become anything..
If you go through the forging process of hitting thousands or tens of thousands of times,.
“A being that can become anything. People are no different. Only through that process of perseverance can you become a strong person..”
“…….”
“Our family's swordsmanship represents such iron will. Since it can become anything, it will go well with other families' swordsmanship. However, if the center shakes.”
It will collapse. Like you now.
“……That can't be possible!”
10Lein, who had been denied for years, eventually burst out in anger..
He challenged his older brother, the head of the family, to a duel..
Lephael said nothing. He just silently brought his sword.
“Okay, if that's what you think, let's do that. If that makes your inferiority complex go away, feel free to insult me as much as you like..”
And so the duel began..
Lein was easily able to gain the upper hand. Lefael kept falling and kept getting up..
A duel where the winner and loser have already been decided.
While the tedious fight continued, Lein was able to realize one thing..
‘My brother knew he was going to lose. And yet he accepted the duel..’
Why on earth?
“……you will never know.”
Raphael stood up shakily..
I put my sword on the ground, but my legs were shaking as if I was going to collapse at any moment..
I succeeded in standing up this time too..
“……It's about standing up, it's about holding on.”
steely.
“By Fleur's will.”
Is it intuition or instinct?.
Lein felt fear for a moment and immediately cast a secret weapon..
The third secret of the Laprel clan.
Illusion Sword.
Fleur's fifth secret.
The Firmament of the Steel Storm.
Lein couldn't help but widen his eyes. Because the secret he made was broken..
Drop- Drop-.
Even blood flowed from his left forearm..
Of course, Lefael was on the ground..
Looking at his condition, he seemed to have fainted..
‘The firmament of a steel storm. Isn’t it a frighteningly still and quiet Biggie?.’
If you opened that?
……no. Let's not make that assumption..
He won, and his argument was correct. The family's swordsmanship is weak..
So Lein went on a trip again. The road I climbed as if running away.
Now I don't even know how much time has passed.
‘I'll never be a hero.’
When I lamented so much. A black wild dog appeared and she spoke to him..
“Do you by any chance need help??”
This was the first meeting between the devil and Lein..
* * *
time has passed.
Fleur's family disintegrated with her brother's death..
On the contrary, Lein's reputation grew even further..
‘Should I say I'm lucky??’
I made a deal with the devil and got the magic sword..
A magic sword that helps you easily use other families' arcane skills..
The more you use it, the more parts of your body you have to sacrifice..
Since a piece of flesh was enough, Lein thought it was not a bad deal..
Recently, Lein has been going to large parties and is keen to witness the arcane skills of other families..
While continuing his activities by receiving invitations from various places, he overheard a conversation between a group of people..
“I heard Lein came? What comes to mind these days.”
“Hey, you're still a clown anyway..”
“that's right. A clown imitating a technique.”
They are funny guys.
Third-class nobles whose family origins are not even known..
But Lein couldn't laugh. Because at some point he reached a plateau..
It was nice to be able to use the swordsmanship of another family..
But couldn't surpass the aids.
That caused great frustration for Lein..
Meanwhile, a letter arrived from Annwood Academy..
It was a long story, but it was simple to summarize..
I will give you a position as an academy teacher..
Lein was extremely moved. He came from a family that no one knew, and he.
‘I'm becoming an academy teacher.’
Not only can you build up good qualifications, but you can also guide children who are as lost as you and lead them to the right path..
It was a job that was perfect for me..
‘Well, it's a shame that I can no longer learn other families' swordsmanship..’
While I was preparing like that.
The Bürn family's butler comes with a letter..
The letter contained obvious information..
An obvious request to take good care of Teron..
‘As expected, prestigious families are different..’
Even though he has a great secret, he doesn't let down his guard..
Take more of what you have, and take more of what you don't have..
The moment I was about to express my refusal by tearing up the letter in front of the butler..
“The Marquis said. If you accept my offer, I will provide you with all the support you want..”
Gold and silver treasures, women, fame, or something else.
But Lein wanted none of that..
I laugh and tighten my hands.
“He said that once a month, he would give you the opportunity to spar with a member of the family of your choice..”
Stop.
Autonomous sparring rights. This was a great item that could make up for Lein's shortcomings..
“……Even with Bürnga??”
“of course. You also added that you don't want that..”
The Björn family is not a swordsman family, but a martial arts family..
A family that has reached the pinnacle of martial arts fighting with fists and feet..
However, there is no way Lein, who craves swordsmanship, would ask him to spar. That was the story.
No matter how you think about it, it is an undeserved price that is advantageous to you..
Because of this, Lein.
“I will politely decline. Could you please tell me to find another teacher??”
expressed his refusal.
“All right. This is the communication number. If you change your mind, please contact me at any time..”
The Bürn family's butler has left. A communication number was left on the table..
‘I will never contact you first from here.…….’
Because there are no absolutes in this world.
And as expected, right after the new semester started.
Lein falls into despair. Because the children's swordsmanship was so excellent..
How many times have you bowed your head to learn one secret technique?.
But this place was so full of secrets that it hurt my feet..
In the end, Lein touches the sealed magic sword again..
And what is the result of that action?.
as you see.
was about to die.
* * *
“zero army…….”
“Hehe, are you finally coming to your senses??”
Is it because I lost too much blood, or is it because my body is starting to be taken over by the magic sword?.
Lein is out of focus.
Either way, it wasn't a good situation..
“I'm sorry. Now a little... … I feel like my eyes have been opened.”
“…….”
“I tried to ignore it, but now I finally realized it. The reason why I was able to become the ‘Imitate Lein’.”
The reason why Lein was able to build up a reputation by being called ‘Leuin of imitation’. That's right.
“This is the result of the Fleur family's swordsmanship emphasizing the basics..”
Because the swordsmanship was well balanced,.
Because it was a sword technique that strengthened core muscles, which are used everywhere..
That's why Lein was able to easily absorb the swordsmanship of other families..
“yes. I thought it was because I was a genius or something. But you seem to have forgotten the basics. Tsk tsk, I don't have the courage to meet my ancestors..”
“…….”
“Zero, can I ask you a favor??”
“Yes, you say it..”
“cut off my right arm.”
“but…….”
“I'm begging you. It's so noisy that you can't have a conversation. my…….”
Lein smiled and continued..
“With the last disciple.”
