Chapter 187
[ Episode 187. Flawless ]
Rodlen Academy and Vulcan Academy faced each other and had a fight.
Between them, Serena and Baek Han-gi were seated.
“I don’t know where it’s polite to suddenly fight.”
“Are you scared?”
Baek Han-gi, whose mouth was exposed, gave a bleak smile.
Towards such a cold weather, Rodlen’s students showed their speculation.
Baek Han-gi seemed arrogant for daring to fight against them, as they had the pride of attending the best academy.
“Did you say it was the white cold season of Vulkan Academy? All I have to say is this.”
Serena continued with a laugh.
“You know the subject.”
“I don’t want to deal with a small pony like you either.”
Baek Han-gi, who had a cold tongue, raised a finger and pointed upward.
“I am aiming for Adrias Cromwell, who is called a monster. You are just a stepping stone to him.”
“A senior like you?”
Serena, who was just trying to ignore it, took a step forward without realizing it.
Adrias, who generously gave for herself, did not want unnecessary harm to her, and her intentions came naturally into action.
“I will beat Adrias Cromwell and prove that I am the strongest of my generation.”
“I tried to ignore him, but he was an outrageous person. You don’t even have to go to your senior, I will deal with you.”
At Serena’s words, the atmosphere in the restaurant heated up.
The students voluntarily went out to find observers, and soon they moved to the place for Dalian.
“I told you to be careful during the tournament.”
“Sorry, professor.”
Professor Crayson, who came as an observer, made a stern remark, but soon raised his hand.
The moment the hand went down, the onlookers, noticing that it was the beginning of the sparring, looked at it nervously.
“The white cold flag of Vulkan Academy? In any case, it would be nice if we sparred in a suitable line.”
“It will be over soon.”
Baek Han-gi, who had glimpsed Serena’s skills the day before, never thought that he would lose.
Rather, my head was full of thoughts of finishing quickly and going to Adrias right away.
The gymnasium was quickly filled with people.
Fighting with students from other academies was much more stimulating than tournaments between the same affiliations, so rumors spread quickly and interest grew.
And there, students from other academies who had been invited to Rodlene also came to watch.
From Shinchang’s son Roberto to the Platinum Gracia Millennium Academy last year’s tournament winner of Air Course, the mysterious Noah who is said to have first brought together all the powers of Honen Academy’s Yukdo.
“If you look at it funny, it will end without doing anything.”
“Let’s get started quickly.”
It must have been burdensome due to the sudden crowd of people, but the two of them, standing in the middle of the arena, finished their preparations without incident.
“Are you ready?”
“yes.”
“Get started.”
Soon, Krason’s hand went down and the sparring began.
Whiik-Kang!
As soon as it started, it was Baekhangi who rushed first.
His eyes, which were revealed as his hair fluttered, had a strange shape rather than a round shape, which was rather intimidating.
“Inversely…weak.”
Baek Han-gi, who crossed his sword, showed his teeth and laughed.
Serena unknowingly tried to push him away with the familiar swordsmanship, but the power of the white cold was beyond her imagination.
‘What is this power?’
Contrary to her slender body, Serena, who was pushed back by Baek Han-ki, who showed tremendous strength, tried to step back in a hurry, but the opponent was not in a hurry.
“Are you running away?”
It was his black path to keep pushing while saying if there was room left.
An overwhelming power that pierces through everything.
In the swordsmanship based on him, Serena of the past was glimpsed.
“Let’s just finish it.”
overwhelming strength.
However, his swordsmanship, which seemed simple, was mixed with its own complexities.
That’s why Serena had no choice but to look for an opportunity and be on the defensive.
“Three Serenas are pushed.”
“Did you say that guy was Vulcan’s ghost?”
“Looking at him in real life, he really deserves his name.”
The buzz around her had already confirmed Serena’s defeat.
As much as that, the confrontation between the two showed an overwhelming difference.
‘I was too conceited.’
Serena admitted her mistake.
But apart from that, I had no intention of losing to my opponent.
Kwaaaang—!
With an explosion, Serena’s body flew backwards.
Black Longsword of the White Cold.
It was unbelievable destructive power from a long sword.
“There is nothing special. Just a normal check. I don’t know why Adrias Cromwell thought highly of you. Is Adrias Cromwell just as insignificant?”
“I felt it before, but you are rude.”
“Even if a weakling like you speaks politely, it is meaningless. You have to prove it by force.”
prove by force
It was a family motto that had been emphasized over and over again in her family.
That’s why she didn’t deny Baek Han-gi’s words.
Then all that remains is to prove it.
“ha.”
Surprised by the unexpected force, she regained her composure.
Fortunately, the opponent was giving me time because he was careless, and I was able to think of a solution.
‘As expected, that’s all there is.’
A swordsmanship that he had learned only one day, and the day before.
A sword with an arrogant name that Adrias said was ‘flawless’.
She could have asked what she was doing with just one day’s work, but she trusted Adrias.
And that Adrias believed in himself.
‘You only get one chance.’
If it doesn’t work the first time, it’s a formidable opponent, so you won’t be able to try it a second time.
But she believed that this one time would never fail.
strong confidence in yourself.
The potential that Adrias gave her.
“I didn’t want to just give up…”
The moment Baek Han-gi opened his mouth again, Serena’s eyes flashed.
His movements, his gestures, his muscle movements, his breathing, his inhalation and exhalation, everything.
The sword, sharp enough to touch and swung in a state of extreme concentration, reproduced the ‘flawless’ learned the previous day.
Chii—
The sound of cracking air burst out.
Even though it was a clumsy sword move, it was proof that her intentions were fulfilled.
Belatedly, Baek Han-gi swung his sword in front of him, but he couldn’t deliver enough power.
And the results were immediately visible in front of my eyes.
Quiet –
Quiet.
But enough noise to be heard by everyone watching this match.
“omg!”
“That’s a sword…….”
Huung-
Puff!
The half-broken blade bounced off and landed on the floor.
And the owner of the sword belonged to Baek Han-gi, who stood still with a dazed look.
“I won! Serena won!”
“I was nervous. Did you calculate all of that? Serena, after all.”
“But you mean cutting off the entire sword? I didn’t know, but did your skills improve?”
Cheers erupted in the match, which ended in an instant.
And Crayson, who was an observer, immediately announced the match.
“Rodelen Academy Serena Esteol wins!”
“Wow!”
Students swarmed around Serena.
But Serena immediately stumbled and sat down.
“Ha ha ha …….”
The swordsmanship was too heavy for her to handle now.
Being able to use it like this even after only one day of learning was proof that he was the owner of a tremendous talent, but the recoil pushed him to exhaustion.
“Everyone get out of the way! Serena I’ll support you. Let’s go to the infirmary.”
“No, I’m fine…”
“I’ll take you even if you don’t like it. Everyone get out of the way!”
“I will go with you too.”
After Crayson and Serena disappeared together, the rest of them stayed in the gymnasium and talked.
Coincidentally, all the students from other academies were also there, so there were some Rodlen students who wanted to check their faces.
“White Cold Flag.”
Goulard approached Baek Han-gi, who was picking up the broken sword.
Baek Han-ki stared at the broken sword body in silence with his head bowed.
“Don’t be heartbroken. If I had used ‘Eye’, the result would have been different.”
“…That kind of excuse is rather filthy.”
Baek Han-gi finally opened his mouth and didn’t stutter like before.
“It is true that I was careless, but it is also true that I lost. If it was a real battle, I would already be dead.”
“okay. If you are, so be it. That’s what makes you stronger.”
“……I guess I’ll have to be polite.”
Baekhangi took his eyes off the sword body and slowly raised his head.
Then, an artificial light that was not natural shimmered in his eyes.
“I wonder if I could have stopped that sword even if I used this eye. Did you hide your skills? It was fun. After all, Rodlen Academy.”
Clap clap clap clap clap clap-
Then someone came to clap clap.
When Baek Han-gi turned around, there was a muscular man with his upper body clapping his hands.
“excellent! It was a great sparring.”
“who?”
Baek Han-ki, who lost the light in his eyes, stuttered again.
The other party smiled and answered Baek Han-gi’s question.
“My name is Honen from Millennium Academy. This is the 5th grade graduating class this year.”
After grasping the opponent’s body shape and hand shape, Gullard opened his mouth.
“Mutu no Honen. The winner of last year’s Millennium Tournament.”
“haha! Embarrassing! do you know me I have nothing to write an autograph for right now, so I will do it later.”
“I do not need.”
Baek Han-gi sighed coldly and turned his back.
Then he immediately turned around and took a guarded posture.
“Ho! Strong too! Did you notice right away?”
“What are you doing?”
Watching the white cold flag revealing the murder, Honen just continued to laugh.
It was too brazen for someone who was about to attack from behind.
There were others who watched them from afar.
“They are all hybrids.”
Gracia of Air Course Academy, who spoke in an arrogant manner, immediately turned around and left with her followers.
And on the other hand, someone with a small body wearing a hood was watching the situation dryly.
“Noah. What is the next schedule?”
“Is Adrias Cromwell coming out today?”
“We have a game schedule. But maybe…”
“But just in case, let’s go to the stadium.”
The dead-eyed girl revealed from inside the hood quietly added one more word.
“It was an interesting swordsmanship.”
**
“Your opponent has withdrawn.”
Already the 5th withdrawal.
With this, I succeeded in advancing to the finals without using a single hand.
It’s nice that I have time, but something strange is that I feel like I’m being bullied.
“Congratulations on advancing to the finals. The schedule for the next match will be delivered to the tablet.”
“Yes, thank you.”
If you’re going to forfeit, do so before the game starts.
Now that I’ve come all the way here, I’ll have to go and see the guys from the Knights Faculty.
“Wow. Oh, it’s Adrias senior.”
“The game isn’t already over, and it’s probably another abstaining win, right? Isn’t 5 consecutive victories by forfeiture a new academy record?”
Even though I could hear the noise around me, I just kept walking.
I was in a good mood because there was good news recently, so I wanted to maintain this mood as long as I didn’t fight.
‘I can’t believe I’ll use it right away.’
Serena Estial.
I provoked the white cold, but I didn’t know that I would visit Serena the next day.
And Serena overcame the white cold period admirably.
One thing that surprised me here was Baek Han-gi’s ability.
I didn’t know how strong the current white cold period was because meeting him in person was a story after graduation several years later.
However, I was a little surprised to hear that Serena was driven almost to the point of losing due to rumors.
Wouldn’t he have lost if he hadn’t been able to cut the opponent’s sword with the perfection I taught him?
I should have seen it myself, but it’s a pity.
‘Is it much stronger than I expected?’
Of course, he couldn’t be weak as he was a future Continental 10, but I didn’t think that he would be stronger than the playable.
“hmm?”
While walking around the grounds of the Knights Faculty, I came across a strange group.
A strange attire similar to that of a priest at the temple.
And in the center, a man with bright blonde hair looked at me and stopped.
“You are… you are Adrias Cromwell.”
“who are you.”
I really didn’t know who it was.
A character I haven’t seen in the game.
What is certain is that he is a student from another academy.
“It’s just fine. Your reputation has been familiar ever since you came here.”
“So who are you?”
“……You don’t know me?”
“yes. Who are you?”
At that time, the guy next to me who looked like a rattlesnake pointed at me as if he didn’t like my attitude.
“this guy! Knowing who this person is, he is so frivolous…….”
“No, so who is it? Would you like to speak?”
At this point, I’m frustrated too.
So who are you?
“Couldn’t it be that you didn’t even come to the welcome ceremony?”
“Welcome?”
“A small welcome ceremony was held to commemorate my personal visit here. You must have been invited?”
“Invitation…… Ah!”
Come to think of it, I recently received an invitation from someone I didn’t know.
Recently, there have been more invitations from various aristocratic families, so of course I thought it was such a thing and was ignoring it.
But…
“How do I know you and go to the welcome ceremony?”
Is this a funny man?
