A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 6
Growth period (3)
Duchy of Caladern.
Calambrinho’s Palace, 7th Training Hall.
“one!”
“one!”
“two!”
“two!”
Today again, as always, the sound of a wooden sword cutting through the wind and the sound of a loud cheer resound.
“Now, onto the next move! one!”
“one!”
Instructor Hans continued to teach swordsmanship, and Harang followed without a word. He is already familiar with the Kala Dun sword technique, but practicing the movements one by one does not help.
Meanwhile, I kept thinking about the newly acquired season in my head.
‘There’s a physical problem, but the problem is that I can’t use it more than twice a day because I don’t have mana. ‘Where can I get more mana?’
If someone hears it, they might laugh. Are you worried about controlling mana at just 7 years old?
‘Some of the skills I used in my past life are helpful in times like this.’
While I was thinking about that, I heard a loud noise from the side.
“Oh oh!”
“Master Kidron! “You did it!”
When I turned my head to see what was going on, I saw Karik’s second son with a pure white light forming on his outstretched wooden sword and an expression full of joy.
“You’ve finally unleashed your sword energy!”
“Congratulations, Second Master. “You have finally become a one-star prosecutor.”
A 1-star prosecutor!
As soon as he heard that, Harang grabbed a nearby trainee and asked.
“Is that really that big?”
“Yeah? Sure. Normally, even if you train consistently from the age of 7, you will not be able to emit sword energy until you are at least 13 or 14 years old. It is said that geniuses release their sword energy at the age of 10 or 11! Master Kidron is a genius!”
Since Kidron’s current age was 11, the word genius seemed to be correct.
A few days later.
That is, until 10-year-old Taron unleashed his sword energy.
“Oh oh… … !”
“Even Master Taron has become a one-star swordsman!”
“amazing!”
“Haha!”
It was only then that Harang was able to fully understand that the level of 1-star means ‘a swordsman who can emit sword energy for a single moment while practicing swordsmanship.’
Taron ran to Kidron with an excited expression and said.
“older brother! “I can now use sword techniques like my brother!”
“Uh, uh… … Congratulations. “He is also my younger brother.”
Even though Kidron congratulated him, his expression did not look good.
Taron knows that too.
That 10-year-old boy already knows the fact that ‘I, who became a 1-star in 3 years, am better than my older brother, who worked hard for 4 years and became a 1-star.’
“Is that the bloodline of a master swordsman?”
“amazing. “I’m 12 years old and I still can’t use sword skills.”
“You’re a genius!”
Since most of the lineages of master swordsmen were geniuses, only those who stand out among them are recognized as geniuses.
In fact, it would be difficult to call Taron a genius. This is because most of the Kaladan family were geniuses or higher. Taron was just better than average in the family, nothing more.
Taron, who was feeling very proud as he received people’s congratulations, looked around, found Harang, and approached him with great strides.
The confidence on his face might be because he was confident in his own abilities.
“Hey, bastard. “You said last time that you wanted to know what Kaladan’s sword technique feels like, right?”
“Is that so?”
I don’t remember.
“You confronted the instructor! I don’t understand something! Well, you’ve just started learning swordsmanship, so you won’t be able to feel it.”
It wasn’t wrong. Since it has been less than a week since Harang learned the Kala Dun sword technique, it is normal to hear that she did well even though she barely followed the movements, let alone practiced the sword technique.
Taron chuckled and pointed his wooden sword at Harang.
“There is no training more certain than sparring with a master who is stronger than you. “I’ll teach you a lesson, so grab the wooden sword right now.”
Harang was dumbfounded as he watched Taron showing off his pride by quoting what the instructor had said just moments ago as his own.
At that time, a message appeared in the air.
━━━[Sub Quest]━━━
First duel, honorable victory
*Content: Although you are young, weak, and have not learned swordsmanship for a long time, you were challenged to a duel as a knight. As a descendant of heroes, I can’t possibly refuse!
*Goal: Win the duel
*Reward: Silver White Dragon Contractor’s Evidence
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
‘Oh, quest.’
I had no intention of refusing in the first place, but there was no reason not to accept the duel, especially if it offered compensation.
‘I don’t know what the contractor’s evidence is, but it wouldn’t hurt to get it.’
Harang smiled softly.
“Ok, fine.”
I grabbed a wooden sword.
“Receiving a lesson from a master is the greatest gift to a master.”
* * *
“Master Taron became a one-star swordsman?”
Today was the day the knights returned from their mission, so Fillion didn’t bother paying attention to the training ground.
However, the instructor rushed over in a hurry and reported an interesting fact, so the issue of post-mission processing for the knights was slightly put on the back burner.
“uh… … Um, can I report it and post it later?”
As the sharp-witted knights spoke, shaking off their mud-covered armor, Fillion shook his head.
“no. Report to your adjutant. I will go to the training center for a while and come back. In the meantime, rest well. “You can skip training until tomorrow.”
“yep!”
As I quickly headed to the 7th training ground, I saw trainees surrounding the two masters standing on top of the octagonal stadium in a circle.
“Knight Fillion came to see.”
“Really? It must be very burdensome… … .”
At Fillion’s appearance, the trainees murmur with stiff expressions.
The instructor told the players who were warming up at the entrance of the stadium that they could stop the game at any time.
“If one side is down, no attacks are allowed. “You do know that it is dishonorable to attack a fallen opponent during a duel, right?”
“of course. I know.”
Taron answered confidently and snorted. She seemed to be itching to have a duel.
It was the same with Harang.
Until now, I had only swung in the air or beat wooden dolls as much as I could, but this was my first proper duel.
“then… … Please take the sword.”
While holding the sword, he raises the sword vertically to his face and makes a salute.
The two boys each had different thoughts.
‘How can I defeat this guy and make fun of him? Hehe.’
Children under the age of 7 cannot be touched. Because it was Kaladan’s strict rule.
But now that I’ve learned the Harangi sword technique, there’s no problem in grabbing and catching as much as I want.
I didn’t want to see the arrogant bastard show off by coming to the training center to show off his skills with a sword, but I was planning to solidify my rank at this point.
On the contrary, Harang watched Taron’s movements as he took the sword… … .
‘The number of expected cases is about forty.’
I started imagining every action Taron could take.
It’s a kind of simulation.
‘I don’t think I’ll lose to the kid, but the time I spent learning swordsmanship is ridiculously insufficient. There is a high possibility that Taron’s skills are superior.’
I recall Taron’s usual movements one by one and contrast them with the real Taron in front of me.
In my imagination, Taron takes a sword-fighting stance and immediately assumes a ready stance for the first second of Kaladon’s sword technique, then flies in like a stinging bee and uses an upper slash.
‘Can you stop it?’
In his imagination, Harang held up his sword accordingly.
‘Toong-!!’
In my imagination, Taron and Harang’s wooden swords collide, but Harang does not move.
Taron is confused in his imagination.
I had no idea that Harang’s strength was this strong.
‘If we push hard, we can win.’
Here, the simulation was divided into two variables.
Number of cases: First, judgment.
When Taron realizes that his strength is weaker, he quickly falls back and then performs Chosik’s next move.
Number two, personality.
He gritted his teeth and pushed forward, thinking that there was no way he, who was three years older than him, would be defeated in a battle of strength.
Rather than keeping one possibility in mind, Harang ran a simulation assuming that all of those possibilities could actually occur.
The two possibilities were further divided into four, and from eight to sixteen, the number grew to over forty.
“… … “The two prosecutors finish their examination.”
The time it takes to complete such a simulation is at most 10 seconds.
This was the result obtained by observing Taron’s movements and understanding his abilities in that brief moment of sacrificial ritual.
“The duel begins!”
Eventually, following the instructor’s call, as soon as the duel began, Harang naturally raised his wooden sword to the left and took a defensive stance.
On the contrary, Taron was stung like a bee, just as he had imagined, and lunged at Harang, swinging his sword sharply to the right.
Teong-!!
When Taron’s sword, which was fired with terrifying force, was blocked by Harang’s wooden sword, the trainees let out an exclamation.
“what?”
“Master Harang’s physical strength is better than I thought.”
“The reaction speed is fast… … .”
The trainees seemed to think so, but Fillion’s eyes lit up when he noticed something different in Harang’s appearance.
‘Before Master Taron could run out, Master Harang was already holding the wooden sword in a position to be attacked.’
It’s as if they were predicting the future.
“Ugh… … !”
As Harang’s strength was stronger than expected, Taron continued the power struggle, looking embarrassed as expected.
‘My muscles are weaker than I thought.’
Harang made that decision and pushed Taron with even more force.
Boom! Taron, who was pushed back, almost lost his balance and took a step back, and Harang did not miss the opportunity and lashed out with his sword.
His sword strike is none other than a stab.
“What?!”
Sigh! As the wooden sword plunged into his armored chest, Taron fell backwards, breathing heavily.
“Kek, clack…” … !”
Does not attack fallen opponents.
After Harang finished stabbing, he held the wooden sword with both hands and waited for him to wake up.
“I’ve already stabbed you…” … ?”
In 1 Chosik, there was very little doctrine about stabbing. At most, I only learned a little bit about the Mangyeol Sword Technique, but I can’t believe I can shoot it so precisely.
“The sting moves in a pretty neat and clean path. Instructor Hans. “Did you teach him?”
“yes? Oh no. Except for Mangyeol Sword Technique and Caladon Sword Technique 1 second… … .”
In that case, it meant that the thrust was purely a movement made by Harang himself.
“Tch, I let my guard down for a moment and became a coward.”
The shock of being stabbed in the chest with a wooden sword was more severe than expected, and Taron, who was coughing with tears in his eyes, stood up again and took a stance.
“I won’t watch you anymore!”
Taron screamed and rushed over.
Even though he was a child, he was a 1-star swordsman, so the movement containing a little mana was extremely heavy, and the blow was so powerful that even an adult would faint if he was hit incorrectly, hitting Harang on the shoulder.
It was the same action as before, but this time it didn’t respond the same way.
He raises the wooden sword at an angle and catches it as if it were flowing, then slides down on Taron’s wooden sword and hits him on the shoulder.
Sigh!
“Oops!”
The impact of being hit on the shoulder could have caused Taron to roll over, but Taron gritted his teeth and swung his sword again.
Boom!
The sharp swing of the sword cutting through the wind definitely contained Kaladan’s unique doctrine.
It stings like a bee, moves slowly like a butterfly, and sometimes swirls like the wind.
Perfect! Pow! puck!
Although it was Taron who took the damage by splitting the sword, the instructor was able to guess the winner because Taron began to use his sword skills the more they fought.
‘I don’t know how Master Harang gained the upper hand over Master Taron, who learned swordsmanship… … The moment the sword energy is released, it’s over.’
A sword covered in sword energy cannot be blocked with a regular wooden sword. The moment the sword comes out, the instructor takes a stance with the intention of stopping the game due to Harang’s loss.
“Don’t stop me.”
“yes? No, it’s still dangerous to even hit him with a sword over there.”
“Do I have to say this twice?”
“… … sorry.”
The instructor trembled at the sight of Fillion giving orders without even looking at him.
Before I knew it, the duel was reaching its climax. Taron began to perfectly display the Kaladan sword technique in one second with amazing concentration that allowed him to endure the pain even while being beaten hard by Harang.
‘Run in and cut, spin around, step back, and then hit from the bottom up!’
Since Harang had memorized the entire series of movements, he did not receive a single attack, but Taron was never disappointed.
‘Finally, I step back and cut off the top… … !’
The final move to unfold all sword techniques. Because he knew that at that moment, light would erupt from his sword and crush that arrogant face!
Flash!
Sword energy surged from Taron’s wooden sword. Because the sword wrapped in sword energy had the effect of ignoring even the resistance of the wind to some extent, it struck Harang’s head at a speed that was completely different from before.
Caladon’s first sword technique
Non-contact sword
Fly like a butterfly, shoot fast.
“It’s over!”
The moment when Taron, full of joy, shows his pure white teeth and swings his wooden sword.
Jjaeang-!!
A sound resounded as if solid glass was colliding with glass.
“… … uh?”
Taron widened his eyes because he did not understand this situation, where his sword was blocked by something and was not moving.
Who stopped it?
Did the instructor step in and intervene?
There would still be as many as five steps left before reaching Harang.
But why… … .
No, it wasn’t.
“Why, I thought only you could do it?”
[Caladon Sword Technique 1st Lunar Eclipse]
[Non-folding sword, Wolpyo (月豹)]
The identity of what blocked his sword… … Just like his own, it was Harang’s wooden sword clad in pure white sword flag.
“uh?”
Taron made a foolish noise and relaxed his grip on the wooden sword. At that moment, the sword energy loses its power and disappears.
Harang did not miss the opportunity and struck Taron hard on the shoulder with a wooden sword.
Wow!
Although it was a wooden sword with a sword, it was unable to pierce the protective gear made with special equipment, sending Taron flying backwards, leaving only a strong impact.
Taron has fallen and Harang is standing.
Even at the moment when Harang’s sword energy lost its light and disappeared, the crowd was engulfed in quiet heat and no one could say a word.
An unbelievable situation is unfolding, who would dare speak out?
Just one person.
match! match!
When Knight Fillion began to clap slowly, the trainees belatedly came to their senses and clapped along.
Clap clap clap!
‘I feel like my legs will break because of the old moon walk… … Hearing applause makes me feel good again.’
Harang loved the cheers of others, so much so that he was called a ‘person of interest.’
This could also be said to be the habit of a professional gamer.
[Quest completed!]
[You confidently accepted a duel with an opponent who was much stronger than you and achieved your first victory!]
[As proof of the Silver White Dragon contract, a ‘Silver White Heart’ is created in the Danjeon.]
[Agility points increase by 3!]
[Strength points increase by 2!]
While Harang was checking the system messages, the students began to have a frantic, rapid-fire conversation among themselves.
“Bah, did you just see it?”
“Young Master Harang, it’s only been a week since you learned swordsmanship.”
“But it’s already black… … ?”
“Huh, how did this happen?”
Even instructor Hans was embarrassed and at a loss for words, and Fillion looked at Harang, who was standing on the stadium without a single wound.
‘In Calathon… … ‘There’s a dragon.’
Because he was born with such overwhelming talent, he doesn’t even have the desire to become a disciple.
How can you put a dragon in a cage?
‘As the knight commander said, I will really participate in this year’s certification ceremony myself.’
That child will bring a great wind to this world.
Does this mean that the sparring between two young prosecutors, who are not even ten years old, will make my heart pound this much?
While everyone was applauding Harang, Fillion turned around and left the training ground, holding the sword on his waist tightly.
A path to personal discipline that I had not pursued for a long time as I was busy with my family’s affairs was dawning on me.
