chapter 235
235.Smells Like a Freshman…(3)
“There are a lot of people.”
“It’s only natural that John fights. Hehe…”
Karina said proudly and pushed out her chest. I quickly covered Karina with my body and grabbed her by the shoulders before anyone else could see it.
“Karina. “That pose is prohibited.”
“Yes?”
“…It stands out too much.”
She couldn’t say out loud that it was her her her her breasts her her her, so she turned around and said it, but Karina tilted her head as if she didn’t understand what she was talking about and let out an exclamation. Perhaps the face beneath her veil is as red as blush.
“Ah…”
“Still, thank you for believing in me. Let’s win with flying colors.”
“…It’s against the rules to say things like that.”
Foul? Before I could answer my question, Karina walked away next to her children and looked at me.
“John! Cheer up~”
“Mister! “Hurry up and win!”
“John… Hey, cheer up!”
“After all, he is a crow hunter. “Four women… “
“Even the saint…”
What do you guys mean by that? Among the many voices, I heard a voice that seemed to be trying to slander me, and I barely managed to turn my head away. If I make a fuss, I’ll only lose myself, so I’ll just ignore it.
“Doesn’t it still suit you? The romance between a knight and a saint who defeated the devil…”
“The picture is actually nice too. “Wouldn’t it be a hit if I wrote a novel based on the romance of Beauty and the Beast?”
“You want to become a writer, so write quickly.”
“But why do you have a shovel strapped to your back?”
…Just don’t listen. I can’t keep up with the girls’ conversations.
This time, I turned off my nerves and looked straight ahead. The front was still empty. Article Perhaps because the undergraduate semester opening general meeting ended late, there were no students wearing swords at their waists.
When will you come?
I want to finish it quickly and go back.
I’ll have to check the sparring hall while Kaimak comes.
I turned my head and slowly glanced around the sparring hall. The sparring hall surrounded by spectators was not that big compared to the mock combat training hall, but it was quite large for two people to use.
Since this is a fantasy world, there is a need to secure a large space.
I think about useless things and estimate the size of the sparring hall.
Roughly two hundred steps horizontally. About a hundred steps vertically.
I planned to end it as quickly as possible, if possible. Sparring with Kaimak itself is an unexpected situation, and there is no benefit in wasting time.
First of all, since Kaimak would know how to use aurors, I responded by surrounding myself with flame appropriately… It was a time when I was formulating a strategy on how to fight. I raised my head and looked ahead at the sound of countless footsteps coming from the front.
“Forgive me for being late! Sir Quartz! The general meeting ended late… !”
…No, I’m dragging a few people with me. No, that person is a professor.
The number of students in the article department that I glanced at was unusual. Seeing that there were some relatively older-looking students, it seemed like not only freshmen but all grades had come.
Why is this a big event?
Is this also the aftermath of destroying the original work?
If this were to happen, wouldn’t it end quickly and end with a blowout?
New worries are added on top of worries. I’m not building a stone tower, so why do I have to face this situation? I woke up from my thoughts only when Kaimak appeared with a greatsword on his back and stood across from me.
“Are you here?”
“It’s here!”
“Whoever faints or surrenders loses.”
“All right! Thank you very much!”
What were Kaymak’s stats like when he just entered school? I remember him as being outstanding for a freshman. I learned how to use it as an Auror because I learned it from the knights in my family. The biggest characteristic is that even though he is a great swordsman, he has good tenacity, so he is not a bad talent to be trusted with.
“Professor Martin. “Would you like to become an inductee?”
“I’ll be happy to take care of it for you. “I’m curious about the crow hunter’s skills… But where are your weapons?”
“Here it is.”
I took out the shovel I was carrying on my back. Kaimak looked at the shovel I took out and looked at me with an absurd expression.
“Isn’t that a shovel?”
“That’s right.”
“Shovel… ? Why are you taking out a shovel?”
It’s definitely a common sense question, but I feel like he’s the first person to ask me this. Is not it? Well, that’s not important. I lengthened the shovel and solved Kaimak’s question.
“Not all knights use swords.”
“Oh, I see! As expected, Sir Quartz! Even though the person who defeated the devil is different, there is something different about it!”
Look at the bean pods. Ji understands it on her own. I held the shovel in one hand and tapped Lue, who was silent, with her finger.
[It’s annoying…Can’t I finish it alone?]
“If it’s a bother.”
Let’s take a look.
“I will advise you in advance, but I am different from other knights. Keep in mind that he is closer to a wizard than a knight. Did you understand?”
“Yes?”
Instead of answering, I answered. Meaning of giving up the first strike.
Let’s experience for ourselves how strong it really is.
I adjusted my grip on the shovel and glared at Kaimak, who was bending his knees.
—————
‘I think I have the right posture, but I can’t see any gaps…’
Kaimak swallowed his saliva without realizing it. Kaimak, who received a harsh education under his father, continued to warn him not to rush carelessly.
‘Charge? No, you cannot attack hastily.’
In battle, the one who is impatient loses. Kaymak rolled his eyes, recalling the words his father had engraved in his heart his as training for over ten years.
Look for gaps.
Even if it takes a long time.
Kaimak sighed for an unknown number of times. His outfield was noisy, but that didn’t matter to him.
Because I couldn’t find the opponent’s loophole.
“No attack?”
“No!”
Kaimak gritted his teeth. You shouldn’t be impatient. However, his animal-like senses persistently delivered only one message to his mind.
‘If you rush in, you will lose.’
But you can’t help but rush.
The second son of Duke Lineus, who was sweating coldly, closed his eyes and took a long breath.
You must not be caught up in the momentum.
The only safe move is to intercept from a distance. Kaimak began to apply aura to the great sword. A gray aura appears on the two-handed sword made of well-refined steel. Several students were impressed by the shape of the auror, which looked like a cloud of fog.
“Is that an auror that only members of the Lineus family can learn?”
“It’s really gray…”
“A new student is coming…”
“As expected, it’s Duke Lineus.”
Kaymak gritted his teeth and lunged at Johan like a buffalo kicking the ground. The distance is about 50 meters. It was a long distance, but to him, this distance was no different than right under his nose.
“It’s quite fast.”
However, the opponent just follows the sword’s trajectory with cold eyes. Kaimak swung his sword wildly from left to right.
A strike wielded by extending the aura to the already long length of the great sword. The first move was a relatively safe blow, but the crow hunter avoided the attack by taking three steps back rather than swinging the weapon.
And as the distance narrowed, a swing from bottom to top flew towards Kaimak’s chin. Kaimak instinctively bent his neck to the side to avoid the attack.
Kaimak was started by the force of the shovel and jumped backwards. There was a small scratch on his chin that he could barely move.
‘If it had been a real battle, I would have died.’
The opponent, who had missed him once, was looking at him while holding the shovel with both hands, as if not letting his guard down.
“The first move is over. Then I will attack from now on.”
“Yes?”
Before he could finish speaking, the floor where John was standing exploded. The flames obtained from the Phoenix’s protection exploded from his feet and flew with the momentum, but no one knew that.
He was the only human capable of such actions.
Seeing Johan rapidly narrowing the distance, Kaymak instinctively covered himself with his greatsword. A defense that uses a large sword with wide sides as a shield. When he learned swordsmanship, it was one of the first things he learned.
Unlike a one-handed sword that can hold a shield, it was difficult to use a two-handed sword due to its length and weight.
‘Stab?’
The large knight held the shovel like a javelin and thrust it forward. A strike aimed at his arm. Kaimak blocked the attack by tilting his greatsword to the side. But there was nothing more he could do.
The blades of the shovel were continuously aimed at his limbs, as if he had retrieved a spear and thrown it out.
Once.
Twice.
Three times.
Four times.
Every time he tried to swing the great sword, the blade of the shovel struck the great sword without fail. Kaimak looked at John with puzzled eyes at the movement that broke his veins.
‘You keep breaking the flow!’
But…
‘You can’t try anything and lose!’
Shouldn’t we at least try to struggle?
Kaimak emitted auras from her entire body as if they were exploding. Because he had trained for a long time and accumulated auras, his auras were much more than that of an ordinary student. In response to his counterattack, John took three steps back and hung up his shovel.
“I’m going!”
“Is there anyone who says that?”
Johan shot a fireball at the face of Kaimak, who was running towards him in bewilderment. When he was startled by the sudden fireball throw and ducked his head to avoid the fireball, his vision was covered by his fist.
A perfect counter.
Kaimak stumbled and fell to his knees. It was because his brain was concussed because he was hit with a fist.
Yohan turned and spoke to the professor who was watching the sparring.
“I think it’s over.”
“The winner is Quartz!”
Professor Noh’s loud voice echoed throughout the sparring hall.
