The Academy’s Savage Swordsman - The Academy’s Savage Swordsman chapter 10
10. run away
As I headed north on horseback, I realized a few mistakes.
First, I didn’t even know how far it was to the north, but I started without any preparation.
Second, getting used to modern night roads and overlooking how dangerous they are.
“How many times is it already?”
I frowned at the mountain beast that appeared in front of me. Horned wolves, winged wolves, and wild boar-like monsters with hard scales like hippos attacked without rest.
If I had been an Auro user, it was a frequency enough to make me think that I would have died from being bitten by beasts right away.
‘There are no bandits, so why are there so many beasts?’
Hey, it’s funny that even a knight who has mastered Aura lives with bandits in a mountain full of dangerous monsters and beasts.
If you had that kind of skill, you could live anywhere with just one sword, so why would you want to be a bandit?
There was no need to do that unless there was a mental problem somewhere that made social life impossible.
‘It’s unfortunate.’
He wanted to kill a human before going to the North. He said he killed the orc without any problem, but that was only possible because the orc had a non-human appearance at a glance—because he wasn’t sure what would happen to a real human.
What if you were fighting savages in the north and hesitated at the first kill? It can lead to fatal injuries.
That’s why I wanted to check whether or not I was hesitant to kill people… … .
‘I can’t help it. It’s a real battle, including all of that.’
Even if I am a person who hesitates to kill people——I will accept that as well. Thinking so, I slowly rode my horse to the northern and central border.
“here… … .”
It snows.
If you take a step back, you will find a warm southern area where the night wind is a bit cold, but if you take one step forward, the snow is falling little by little as if the game’s ‘map’ has changed.
Having lightly crossed the border dividing the two regions, I realized why Yuri was only making such a cold expression.
‘If I went around laughing in a place like this, my face would be torn.’
It was an area where you couldn’t laugh naturally. Feeling the cold of steel on my skin, I entered the North.
* * *
There were only two types of people coming and going to the North.
Soldiers who committed crimes and were brought to the North or left the North after being injured.
And the merchants who bring goods to the north saying that they will do business.
The former only came and went on a set date, and the only ones who came to the northern part of the country, which was less profitable, were those who came at regular intervals.
So, the place guarding the border between the north and the center meant that soldiers who were injured on the battlefield were deployed for a short rest, and like a job where no one came and went, the soldiers here were quite lacking in discipline.
“Two pair.”
“It is my victory. triple.”
“what? Does that make sense? Damn- this bastard cheated!?”
“Don’t say anything without evidence.”
Having won the card game, Rail began to sweep away all the money on the table while humming. The only things to enjoy in the North were alcohol and the warmth of a whore’s breast, but you needed money to enjoy even that.
While flirting and collecting the money, Cassim, who had been robbed of the money, tilted the bottle with a frown as if annoyed.
“Sibaal, this makes sense… … yes?”
Cassim, who was tipping the bottle, frowned as he saw someone approaching on horseback from afar. At this time, there was no one who would come up to the north.
How much more does he come to the North alone wearing a shabby cloak like that? Cassim wondered if he was seeing ghosts instead of people.
“Who is coming?”
“what? What nonsense, I won’t back down on the stakes… … .”
Reil, who listened to Kassim’s words and turned his head, noticed someone approaching on horseback from a distance and suddenly came to his senses.
Anyway, isn’t it very suspicious to come all the way to a place like this alone? There was no way the savages beyond the Great Wall secretly crossed the barrier to get armor and horses and then come back to the North… … Suspicious was suspicious.
The two immediately picked up the missing military flag again, raised their spears, and aimed them at the unidentified man approaching from afar.
The man approaching on horseback saw them and began to slow his horse slowly.
“stop-! Who are you!”
“—Is this the northern part?”
“Who are you!”
“Kyle Meyer.”
Hearing the name, the two tilted their heads. I think I heard it somewhere, but it was a name I couldn’t remember right away.
Seeing that there was a castle, he was an aristocrat- but why did an aristocrat come all the way to a place like this alone? Even with full arms like that.
Kyle, seeing the soldiers still pointing their spears at him, lightly dismounted and threw off the hood he was wearing.
“The son-in-law of His Excellency Walter Grace, and the fiancé of his daughter Yuri Grace.”
“… … Yes? what is that—”
“Did you not hear? I think he said he was the son-in-law of the Duke.”
And when the duke’s name came out of his mouth, the two soldiers belatedly realized who they were facing.
Kyle Meyer. The successor of the Meyer family, who is said to have been coaxed by the Duke of Grace to advance into the center.
I don’t know why I came here, but I knew that they were not to be treated carelessly. The two swallowed their saliva and carefully retrieved the spears they were aiming at Kyle.
“… … Is there a way to prove that you are me?”
“I didn’t bring any ID or anything like that.”
Saying that, Kyle contemplated how to prove that he was Kyle Mayer, and took the spear that Rail was holding.
Rail, who was a veteran soldier in his own right, did not notice for a long time that he had his spear stolen.
Belatedly, seeing the spear in Kyle’s bare hand, he realized that the spear in his hand was gone.
“Are you going to be certified like this?”
Grabbing the blade of the spear he had stolen, Kyle put an aura on his palm and crushed the spear. Crisp-! Rail and Kasim realized for the first time that steel makes this sound when it is torn.
Kyle’s lightly speared hand didn’t have a single vitality, but the two of them knew very well that there was only one being capable of such a skill.
“Oh come on… … .”
“Would you believe this?”
“Of course! Prince Kyle! Welcome!”
The two made a fuss and led Kyle straight inside. As soon as I entered the room, I saw the rolling bottles and scattered cards, and I was startled.
Kyle, who was well aware of how leisurely the guards were in his previous life, deliberately skipped over that part. I had no intention of staying here for long. His purpose was the savages beyond the Great Wall of the North.
However, there was no need to explain such detailed reasons to even a single soldier. Kyle opened his mouth as he climbed back onto his horse.
“Where is the Duke?”
“Your Excellency is on the front line… … .”
“where?”
“Oh, this way. If you keep going like this… … .”
Rail said what Kyle wanted. Hearing of the duchy and the location of the great wall that the savages were attacking, Kyle immediately led his horse and headed in that direction.
Cassim, watching Kyle’s back as he walked away, realized that Rail had said too much and called him cautiously.
“Hey, are you okay? What if that person is not Prince Kyle?”
“Probably right.”
“Why do you think so?”
“You didn’t kill us and just left.”
Saying that, Rail raised the spear that Kyle had smashed. The steel was completely torn and spinning, and the spearhead holding the blade was torn in the middle.
The monstrous power of smashing a spear with one hand, and the quickness of agility to the point of not noticing anything until the spear is taken away.
If Kyle was a spy trying to hit the Northern Army, there was no reason to keep them alive. Isn’t it a skill that can handle them without even knowing mice or birds?
“by the way… … How old is Confucius this year?”
“Well, I heard that you are the same age as the lady.”
“Then fifteen?”
“Ah, how could someone who uses Aura so well be only 15?”
“hahahaha, is that so? Then you must have passed 20—”
When Kyle had gone so far out of sight, the two disengaged incredibly quickly and began to drink Kyle’s story as a snack.

Northern Great Wall.
A wall that was ignorantly built to prevent barbarians from jumping over it.
Having just arrived there, I realized that the nickname was not false.
‘Crazy, I can’t go up either?’
It was possible to jump over ten meters lightly, but the size of the wall far exceeded its height. It is so high that you wonder if the knees of the soldiers working here will remain.
Having just arrived at the foot of the rampart on horseback, I heard shouts and clamor from above and beyond the rampart, and realized that they were engaged in battle.
‘Good timing.’
I jumped off the horse and ran up the steps of the castle wall without stopping. The soldiers who were shooting arrows through a small hole inside the wall began to tilt their heads when they saw me who suddenly appeared.
However, no soldiers felt anything strange when a knight they had never seen before appeared behind them. Don’t assume it’s just a new article.
Thanks to that, I arrived at the top of the castle wall without any obstruction and was able to grasp at a glance how the battle was going on on the high wall.
‘Here and here are trying to break through, then block it from here— Ah, over there. The Duke is over there.’
thump thump!
My heart starts pounding like crazy before my first real fight.
It’s not a real battle that didn’t even seem like a real battle, but a real battlefield where my neck might fly off.
After taking a deep breath, I immediately jumped down the wall of the large intestine.
Shoot aaa-!
Facing the wind that beats my ears – I get down in front of the savage who mercilessly slaughters the soldiers.
“ok? what else are you… … .”
“—Nice to meet you.”
Without even time to say hello, I swung my sword straight away.

The upper body of the savage rolls on the floor.
What about rejection? There was no such thing. The swordsmanship that hit his body was trained so that he could move even when he was unconscious.
“great… … .”
I smiled and looked ahead.
There are still many prey.
