I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman - I Became an Academy Genius Swordsman chapter 3

Episode 3. Selection test (2)

Episode 3

One

As the name suggests, the final stage of the academy’s selection test, the ‘real monster battle’, uses real monsters.

Because of the candidate’s safety issue, ‘creature’ is used, but since it is a test to see improvisation and actual killing ability, the use of real monsters is inevitable.

It is not that there are no safety devices. Curses the monster to make it deteriorate, and high-level awakeners are always on standby to save it in an emergency, so there have been no deaths for several years.

However, it is unavoidable to be nervous because the situation in which you can lose your life is real.

It is part of that to put the candidate in the worst condition by inflicting mental erosion at the same time as warp.

No matter how bright and high the tension is, if you start to see the monster wave, you have no choice but to swallow your saliva.

“Are they the same active candidates as us?”

“… … What kind of massacre are you doing?”

However, in the battlefield, which should have been filled with heavy breathing and fear, a bewildered sound was leaking out.

Two places that caught people’s attention.

Defiant swordsmanship, leaping forward with every step, and two eyes that leave a deep blue afterimage. Jin Hyeon-min, who is truly different from the grim reaper,

Yoo Ji-min was like a winter swan, running through the air and creating a wind of white snowflakes.

In particular, a lot of attention was focused on Yoo Ji-min. Because the wind of the snowflakes had a great visual effect.

“pretty… … .”

The moment the white wind hits it, the monster does not leave even a trace and becomes tens of thousands of drops of blood and scatters.

The bones and internal organs were all ground up, but the scene itself was beautiful.

It looked like red beads were going up to the sky along with white petals.

Many people praised and envied her.

However, her heart was in a very uncomfortable state.

‘Who is it?’

A man who gave off a strange aura.

The person who ignored a few words and left without a trace.

To be honest, I can’t remember the face very well. It wasn’t a face that left an impression. However, the atmosphere was too vivid.

It still haunts me and still haunts me.

It offended her.

And she already knew the reason for her displeasure.

‘… … He was faster than me.’

He noticed the wave’s approach before himself. That too, a long time ago. Considering the monster’s movement speed, it’s a really ridiculous five senses.

Having undergone rigorous training and always competing with her monstrous brother, she sets strict standards for herself, not like the self-restraint of a high family.

As a child, he experienced and understood that the world is vast and that there are more monster-like humans than monsters.

However, that doesn’t mean you can’t objectify yourself. Her strength was definitely something hard to find among her peers.

Even in this academy jockey, which is evaluated as the best lineup ever, the only ones who can be said to be on the same level as him are Jin Hyun-min over there, and that guy who will later enter the special screening process.

therefore… … I had never even imagined losing to a guy whose name was unknown, and who had a vague impression that I couldn’t even remember, and who didn’t know where he came from.

He hadn’t fought in person, and his five senses weren’t everything in the game.

However, we know that dragging the horse by adding various assumptions and variables is a cowardly excuse for a loser.

Jimin clearly surrendered.

I was definitely pushed away from him.

‘Who is it?’

However, the curiosity only deepens.

About that strange man whose name is not even known.

At first, I thought it was a bug and reported it all the way, but there are bugs that are left unfixed and used like skills by players.

From nob le mt l dot com

Normal hit cancellation, aka flat scan, is a typical example. It means to use the skill before the normal hit motion is over and push the deal without delay.

These bugs are recognized as a strategy rather than a hindrance to the game, and are sometimes called ‘developer’s intention’.

Desire’s selection test also has something similar to it, called the ‘newbie consideration zone’.

A zone where aggro will never be drawn unless you attack first.

“Is this here?”

Siu searched his memory and found the place. Because the cliff was quite high, the battle of the candidates could be seen at a glance.

Various weapons and techniques such as swords, spears, fists, magic, and bombs were being used, and the wasteland was literally being devastated.

Siwoo’s eyes moved busily.

It was to find a sword that would serve as a standard for his sword.

However, it is absurd that Siwoo, who does not know how to distinguish which is better swordsmanship and swordsmanship, finds a swordsmanship that suits him.

I can’t pick out the best swordsmanship. If so, what should I do?

Simple.

You just need to choose the best swordsmanship.

And Siwoo already knows who uses the strongest swordsmanship.

“Where is Yoo Ji-min… … There he is.”

She is a person who is not left out when evaluating the strongest among swordsmen. Hyunmin Jin also uses a sword… … He is a person who is more highly regarded for his physical skills and senses than his swordsmanship.

Kwagwagwang-!!

White snowflakes become a gust of wind and sweep away the monsters in the area.

A blow of unbalanced power that is hard to believe for a candidate.

Siu’s eyes were fixed on her.

The movement of her sharp sword was like the wind. Instead of blocking it, it was thrown away, and rather than slashing, it stabbed the monster to deal with it.

Then, once in a while, he used a technique of terrible power and slaughtered the monster like a typhoon.

It looks a lot rougher than it looks in the game… .

Reality and games can’t be exactly the same.

Siwoo captured Jimin’s sword and all those scenes.

Her sword gradually became clearer in Siu’s mind.

Geombeop consists of the linkage of herbivores.

When she reaches a certain level, she can pick out the right herb for the right place and use it, and she is a decent swordsman who has reached that level.

Because of this, he could not see a perfectly linked sword technique with the beginning and the end connected in order.

That means that he cannot read the macroscopic meaning of swordsmanship and the meaning of herbivore that comes from it. If you forcefully imitate the jumbled herbivores, it is easy to fall into the drunkenness.

However, the inspiration that ran amok in his head had already begun to take shape.

It devoured the herbivores of the Confucian family, digested them, and transformed them arbitrarily.

The end of the previous herbivore and the beginning of the next herbivore, the gap between them is filled with inspiration, and the irregularly arranged herbivores are connected.

this moment. A new sword method that did not exist in the world is born.

“Keugh-”

As the herbivore is connected, the group in the existing sword method is felt. Hundreds of years of Confucian swordsmanship were too stimulating for him, who lacked even the slightest knowledge.

His body absorbed them all like a sponge. It absorbs all of them without leaving even a single grain, accelerating the digestion of sword techniques.

thump-

An overwhelming feeling that I have never felt in my life spreads through the blood vessels throughout my body.

He had no choice but to admit it.

Because I didn’t know the characteristics well, I didn’t understand the meaning properly.

If the modifier of composition level is added, it cannot be confined within the name of ‘characteristic’.

‘It’s like being alive.’

Soon, the swordsmanship will be completed.

It resembles Yoo Ji-min’s, but does not resemble it. It is to analyze the sword method and become completely embodied as one’s own.

I was simply trying to set the standard for swordsmanship.

his characteristics. No, now it should be called a talent, and it produced results that far exceeded the expectations of its owner.

From nob le mt l dot com

Naturally, Siu was very happy with the result.

visor-!

Siu drew his sword.

Geeing-

At the touch of its owner, the sword greeted me with a clear sound. Siwoo grabbed the sword again and moved his arm.

His own sword, composed of a total of 8 formulas, embroiders the air.

Pink flowers bloom along the trail of the sword.

Siu slowly brought out the swordsmanship in his head to the world.

However, the load was applied to the body after each herb diet.

One-type, two-type, three-type.

As the ceremony progressed, a feeling of pressure that multiplied tightened his body.

Is it a coin mouth? Is the design of the herbivore wrong?

“no.”

The repeated load was extremely intentional, and it was a homework that Siwoo had to endure and overcome, as well as a study to be solved in the future.

One flower that bloomed in the solar eclipse became 10 in the transplant, and eventually became 100 in the three eclipse and scattered.

A flower that landed lightly on the rock gently dug into the rock like a heated iron ball on ice.

He gave up trying to develop a private meal. The three meals were also not completely unfolded. It is clear that even if he spreads his food, the power will not be comparable to the original one.

He couldn’t even open half of his swordsmanship, but the corners of his mouth were raised.

[An unregistered skill has been found.]

[First discoverer: Siwoo Lee]

Because he created his own sword method.

Based on Yoo Ji-min’s swordsmanship, he created a swordsmanship that did not exist before.

The corners of his lips lifted pleasantly.

It was as if I had caught a ray of light in a world that was only desolate.

It was then.

[The first discoverer has the right to decide the name of an unregistered skill.]

The system’s notifications did not end.

[Do you want to decide the name of the skill?]

It’s not a swordsmanship made with a fixed name, but there is a name that flashes in his mind.

Light pink flowers fluttering from the cliff.

The place I am standing now overlaps with a scene from martial arts I saw one day,

“Plum”

That’s how Siu decided on the name of this swordsmanship.

“Maehwa sword method”

[‘Maehwa sword method’ has been registered.]

doo doo doo-

It was then.

A huge vibration that was incomparable to before was felt in the distance.

Although not yet visible, monsters will soon emerge from the horizon. Siwoo, who had calculated their speed based on the approaching vibration, took the upper hand.

Gying-

A faint red color lingered on the sword.

It was weak, but it was a swordsmanship. Evidence of the level of talent that can only be revealed after decades of polishing, shyly reveals itself in his sword, which had no connection with the sword at all.

Shareuk-!

Then he swung his sword.

The formed black energy stretched into the air and soon turned into plum blossoms.

Riding on the wind, plum blossoms flew to the battlefield in the wasteland.

3

The monster wave consists of a total of three waves, and as each round goes on, the number decreases, but stronger monsters appear.

The number of candidates has decreased considerably due to injuries and dropouts. What the competitor gave was a good thing, but as the number of monsters to deal with increased, it was impossible to rejoice unconditionally.

The short break between waves was over, and the candidates who were just ahead of the 3rd wave prepared for the final battle with determined eyes.

thump thump-!!

The monster’s head began to appear in the distance.

It was a group of armored mammoths boasting high defense and devastating blows with assault weapons.

Most of the candidates panicked and hurriedly avoided their seats.

From nob le mt l dot com

No matter how degraded the monster in the selection test was, it would be insane to face it head-on.

“damage!”

“Get rid of the body first!”

someone shouted.

When they enter a group charge, they fall into a berserk and do not stop charging until they ram something into it. You don’t have to be the target.

And right after the collision with the target, the berserk is released and temporarily becomes defenseless, and aiming for this is a well-known method of dealing with armored mammoths.

“Aren’t those bastards really crazy?”

“Real story?”

Two people stood in the path of a group of monsters that were more threatening than a dump truck that had stepped on the full throttle.

Behind them, the candidates’ astonishment is stuck.

They were Jin Hyun-min and Yoo Ji-min.

To be precise, Jin Hyun-min didn’t avoid it from the beginning, and she joined a little later.

The two known to the public are fierce rivals.

Jin Hyun-min wanted an overwhelming first place, and Yoo Ji-min, who was uncomfortable with a man who suddenly stood out, joined this crazy game of chicken with a more competitive spirit than usual.

“Are you angry?”

“what.”

“The sword has been rough since before.”

“do not talk to me.”

“Don’t overdo it.”

“What does it matter?”

“You’re overdoing it today.”

“Never mind.”

While the rival-like conversation was going on, a group of monsters quickly approached.

It takes a big blow to wipe out those ignorant men. Knowing this, they took their stance.

Jin Hyun-min bent his upper body and prepared for the sword.

There was no scabbard for the huge long sword, but the long sword stretched out on the yellow wasteland was preparing to unleash a ‘big one’ while humming along with blue light.

Yoo Ji-min straightened his sword in front of his chest.

A snowflake formed around her and swirled up into the sky. It is a stormy morning of snowflakes reminiscent of a snowstorm.

The candidate watching them from behind felt a high wall while convinced that they were crazy. They watched the two with their mouths shut because of their skills that did not even cause jealousy or envy.

The chicken game of those who are regarded as geniuses in the world.

It is not easy to see who will be the winner, and their competition to be admired as Korea’s heroes in the future.

For the safety of the cadets, even the Higher Awakeners, who were hiding as field agents, were watching the results with bated breath.

It was the moment when the Armored Mammoth was about to enter their range.

Pink petals flew from somewhere.

come flying

fluttering and falling

Petals were falling down in front of the monster’s path.

However, no one cared about the few petals. Everyone’s eyes were on Jin Hyun-min and Yoo Ji-min.

Jin Hyun-min and Yoo Ji-min also didn’t mind the pink petals.

while they are gaining momentum.

“… … … What is that?”

One of the High Awakeners who read the energy contained in the petals reacted belatedly.

Before long, the lead armored mammoth touched the petals.

Kwagwagwagwang-!!

It was bent forward as it was.

The armored mammoths behind it too. After that, and after that.

Dozens of fluttering petals disappeared as if they had done their best only after taking half the lives of the monsters.

“… … ?”

One of the candidates repeated rubbing his eyes.

Some of the field agents started slapping themselves on the cheeks.

The first person to come to his senses in this absurd situation was none other than the armored mammoth who lost half of his kind in front of his eyes.

The armored mammoth, whose berserk had been released before he knew it, was frightened and took a backward step, then turned around and started running away.

Silence enveloped the space and someone spoke seriously.

“… … … Is this a hidden camera?”
