Chapter 16: Chapter 16

After all, while listening to lectures for a semester, we had to cross swords with each other, but for no reason we lied like ‘I’m actually from a famous family of magic, but my dream was to become a sword master’, so there was nothing good for each other.

In addition, as the White Tiger Tower students were wary of Lee Han, they needed to let their guard down.

-I’ll just endure moderately and get points, so you don’t have to worry about it!

“……”

However, the other person’s expression looked very subtle and complicated.

To be precise, he looked like he was worried because he didn’t know if Lee Han’s words were lies or not.

“That… that’s right. I’m from the Moradi family. Call me Moradi.”

“okay. nice to meet you Moradi.”

Lee Han took Moradi’s hand and shook it lightly.

Although he was on the small side, the blisters and calluses on his palms reminded him of his coming from a knightly family.

‘for a moment. If it’s the Moradi family…’

The Moradi family.

Lee Han was also from a family of imperial knights whose name had been heard a few times. I’ve heard that

it’s

a family that will do whatever it takes to protect the neighborhood with iron-blooded rules in the cold north…

“?”

Moradi looked at Lee Han’s eyes as if wondering.

‘Well, there’s no law that the family reputation matches.’

Compared to the previous opponent, who didn’t care about each other’s families and started fighting as they pleased, Moradi felt more common sense.

‘I’ll have to coax it out and let the other White Tiger Tower students off guard.’

Byeogam Sword (碧巖劍).

It was the name of the swordsman Lee Han learned from the family’s old knight, Allarron.

As you can guess from the name Blue Rock, Allarron’s swordsmanship was firm and honest.

– The swordsmanship of the world is innumerable and diverse. Fast, slow, sharp, dull, heavy, light, simple and complex swordsmanship I don’t need to learn all of them… I don’t have the ability to teach them. The swordsmanship I will teach is the way of my sword that I have learned and believed in. One day, if Lee Han-nim steadily walks the path of the sword, he will realize his own path.

Allarron, who had been learning swordsmanship for decades, and Lee Han, who had only been learning swordsmanship for less than ten years, had very different experiences.

That’s why I couldn’t understand everything Allarron said…

Lee Han had one advantage that other nobles didn’t have.

That was the point of being black.

Lee Han did as he was told to the extent that Allarron was embarrassed, and thanks to this, Lee Han’s swordsmanship was firmly grasped by the basics.

“Wallstone Sword? The foundation is well laid.”

Professor Ingeldell also praised Lee Han’s posture.

“Where are you from? If it’s a wall cancer sword…”

“I’m from the Wardanaz family.”

“…?”

Professor Ingeldell was momentarily delayed.

Was the swordsmanship of the Wardanaj family a wall sword?

Professor Ingeldell, who belatedly recalled what kind of family the Wodanaz family was, asked curiously.

“May I ask why you want to learn swordsmanship?”

“If you are an imperial noble, isn’t swordsmanship a basic culture?”

Ingeldell smiled bitterly at the answer.

It wasn’t a wrong answer, but it wasn’t one that Ingeldell liked.

For a natural swordsman like Ingeldell, swordsmanship was a life-and-death skill, not an education for nobles.

“At first, I thought and learned that way too. However, the more I learned, the more I learned that swordsmanship is as in-depth a discipline as magic. So I came here to learn more.”

“…perfect score!!”

“yes?”

“it’s nothing.”

Ingeldell waved his hand.

A wonderful answer that I hadn’t even thought of, inadvertently, my inner feelings came out.

I never thought he would take swordsmanship seriously like that, even though he was from a famous magic family called the Wardanaz family.

It was a much nicer attitude than some of the white tiger tower students who were ostentatious.

‘Did it work?’

Lee Han observed Ingeldel’s expression keenly.

Compared to the maddened Principal Rich, Professor Ingeldell had a tough look, but he was a very easy-going and good-natured person.

It was easy for Lee Han, who was worn out under crazy professors, to win the heart of an innocent like Professor Ingeldell.

No matter how much you came in to eat the score, you have to hide your true feelings in front of the professor.

“It’s a great mindset.”

“thank you.”

“Hearing that, I think I should work hard too. I will deal with you seriously. ruler. Raise the wooden sword.”

“……”

Lee Han slightly regretted that he answered too well.

* * *

Professor Ingeldell beat the students nonstop.

Even the students, who were initially caught off guard by their kind and gentle attitude, became angry after being beaten a few times.

Professor Ingeldell beat such students once again and turned them into rats with their tails down.

‘and. It’s no joke.’

Lee Han’s swordsmanship still has a long way to go, but it’s still good enough to see how great his opponent is.

Allarron, who taught Lee Han, was a great swordsman, but Professor Ingeldell was no less.

If Allarron was a swordsman like a rock that did not move, Ingeldel was a swordsman like fast-flowing water.

What was surprising was that even though one arm and one leg were prosthetic arms and legs, they showed such movements.

The students, who had trained their families’ swordsmanship for a long time, could not keep up with Professor Ingeldel’s movements at all and were beaten mercilessly.

“There is too little change for the movement of the Zaun Sword. The core of the twin swords is their difficulty and complexity! It would be better to wield the sword after thinking more about it rather than wielding it recklessly.”

“The high mountain moon sword is faster and sharper! Don’t look away when you poke and throw yourself into the power.”

Besides, befitting his position as a professor, Ingeldell recognized all the swordsmanships the students practiced.

There were hundreds of swordsmanships of the empire, even if they were famous, and the number of swordsmanship that had been handed down only in the family was uncountable.

However, Ingeldell knew all the names of those swordsmen.

“I will rest for a while.”

“……”

“Gagging…”

“Dogs…”

The students lay down on their sides with pained sounds. I wanted to curse, but I didn’t have the energy to do so.

Lee Han’s muscles were sore and his body tingling.

-Byeogam is the same swordsmanship as a black rock. Don’t be swayed by any attack.

-Uh, the professor’s skills are higher than mine, so can you not be shaken?

-Now, let’s keep attacking. Try to block it! ruler! ruler! ruler!

Ingeldell was good at finding a weak spot that even Lee Han didn’t know about and hitting him.

Lee Han had to fight hard to survive.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I think I made a mistake…’

When it was break time, Lee Han couldn’t help but think that way.

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that I was beaten more persistently than the other students.

Of course, it could have been because of Lee Han’s swordsmanship, but Lee Han’s intuition was saying it wasn’t.

Didn’t you already experience what happens when you get caught wrongly by a professor in ?

Should I have just stayed still?

‘I didn’t expect to get beat up even more for scoring.’

“Wardanaz?”

“yes. professor.”

“Come out to fight for a while.”

“……”

Lee Han really thought he had made a mistake.

Having to be beaten by a professor alone while others are resting?

However, Ingeldell did not call Lee Han to defeat him.

“This is Durgyu from the Choi family. Have the two students do a simple sparring.”

“!”

Not only Lee Han, but also the resting students were surprised.

why those two?

‘Isn’t that the guy who had a fight earlier?’

Lee Han looked at Therugyu with a confused expression.

It didn’t look as good as the guy who argued with me, ‘Why is the other dormitory guy taking the lecture?’

Besides, even after knowing that Lee Han is from the Wodanaz family, isn’t he a guy whose head is clogged up enough to start a fight without hesitation?

It was clear that he would attack them recklessly instead of treating them moderately as sparring.

“All right. professor!”

Saying that, the orc glared at Lee Han as if to kill him. Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘It looks very heartfelt.’

It was to the extent that I could read on my face that I was going to borrow this opportunity and step on another dormitory student who was unlucky.

I couldn’t figure out why the professor had chosen Lee Han among many students, but…

‘I’m sure the professor didn’t mark me as a student in another dormitory. I’m sure he seemed to like the answer earlier.’

Given the situation, Lee Han had no intention of stepping down.

It was okay to live and eat comfortably in the family mansion, but the reason why I learned swordsmanship while being beaten by Allarron was to avoid getting beaten up at times like this!

* * *

The reason Professor Ingeldell chose Durgyu and Lee Han was simple.

It was because two of the current students were the best.

Swordsmanship was not something that could be practiced right away just by learning it.

The core techniques of swordsmanship, swordsmanship (劍式), were basically something that you could barely understand if you practiced it thousands of times and practiced it yourself in actual combat.

For example, let’s say you have a technique where you try to stab the opponent in the chest, but then turn around and stab the opponent’s neck.

If you just use it all over again, you won’t get it unless you’re a very stupid enemy.

Before that, the destructive power of the skill comes out only when you slightly threaten to swing it, trick it like aiming for the bottom, or put these detailed movements in succession.

In other words, understanding swordsmanship meant that it was possible to unfold it fully with this application.

Even if he only knew how to understand the swordsmanship he had learned, he could easily eat a few mercenaries outside.

Most of the mercenaries didn’t even know what they were doing and left it to their instincts and strength and wielded it randomly…

In that respect, the two were at a level where they understood and knew how to use the swordsmanship they had learned.

Even though the two were feeble, they even infused magic into their weapons.

No matter how much he came from a knight family, at this age, this was enough talent to succeed as a knight.

‘How hard would it have been to practice swordsmanship to that extent in a magical family like the Wardanaz family!’

Apart from Durgyu from the Choi family, it was really unexpected that a student from a famous magical family like Wodanaj had such a high level of achievement in swordsmanship.

And that was what made Ingeldell even more admirable.

‘Swordsmanship is as deep and meaningful as magic. That student must have felt that way too, so he must have come to learn with determination.’

Ingeldell was misunderstanding Lee Han.

It was thought that Lee Han risked his life in swordsmanship to the extent that he secretly learned swordsmanship while paying attention to his family.

In fact, the Wodanaz family did not interfere much with Lee Han learning swordsmanship from Allarlong.

Originally, the Wodanaz family did their own thing and didn’t interfere with each other’s doings.

However, to Ingeldell, who did not know that, Lee Han was a wonderful and unfortunate student.

Since they met in this way, Ingeldell had the responsibility of guiding Lee Han to the path of the sword.

‘The Choi family’s high mountain moon sword is a fast and sharp quicksword. In comparison, Wodanaj’s Byeogam Sword is a heavy and strong heavy sword. They are the opposite styles. If we compete against each other, we will learn a lot. On the road of the sword, having a rival who can compete with you on an equal footing is more precious than anything else.’

Of course, Professor Ingeldell also noticed that the White Tiger Tower students harbor hostility towards Lee Han, the only one from the other dormitory.

But that was something that would be resolved with time.

After being beaten like dogs under Professor Ingeldell, there would be no time to get along with each other. You will only hate Professor Ingeldell!

Professor Ingeldell sincerely wanted the two most outstanding students to have a positive influence on each other and spread that positive influence to other students as well.

Chow ah!

While thinking that way, what caught Professor Ingeldell’s eyes was Lee Han kicking dirt and scattering it on Durgyu’s face.
