Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 283
283. The Demon Realm (4)
Immediately after being pulled out of the pit and moved to the Inspector’s House.
I came to my senses before the Master.
The inspector apologized to me and explained the reason and purpose of this training.
And in the process, I also learned that the inspector was not my master.
So, after hearing the whole explanation from the inspector, my thoughts were······.
My teacher.
It was about Baek Seol-hee.
‘I’m sure the Master will feel guilty towards me.’
From noble mtl dot come
Since I had been taught by the Master until now, it was easy to guess how she would act in the future.
Because the teacher is a person with a strong sense of responsibility.
‘You taught me the sword that almost killed my disciple, so if I had to, you could break the sword or try to disappear from my sight.’
My heart sank when I thought about that.
If she were to blame herself and leave me, that was definitely not what I wanted.
Because my teacher was more than just a teacher to me.
In that sense, Alice’s disappearance this time was a bit like that, but in the end, it was a good story.
Because I was able to obtain the prosecutor’s promise to grant any request.
So this is what I thought.
The collision of the highest-grade magic stones and the sword master’s magical power caused a huge explosion, turning Taebaeksan Mountain into an empty plain.
Confirming that the Demon Realm has completely disappeared and Alice’s safety has been secured.
The inspector, I, and the master gathered in one place.
The Master was holding the clothes I had given him, the “Green Guardian Armor,” with a guilty expression on his face.
It looks like they’re preparing for a breakup.
Since she couldn’t open her mouth first, I opened my mouth first.
“Master. I heard everything. What kind of sword is the one I learned from you?”
“······!”
Then, the teacher opened his eyes wide and then closed them tightly.
A complex series of emotions crossed her face.
Things like guilt, fear, and sadness.
“······I see. Then now─”
“Just a moment. I’m not done talking yet.”
I cut her off before she could say anything.
“I’m going to learn a new sword now.”
Then, I glanced at the swordsman standing next to me.
The inspector coughed and spat.
“From now on, your disciple will have to learn the swordsmanship that I have improved.”
“······.”
“Yes, even though you learned how to see the path through that training. Your sword has too much killing power. That’s why I plan to add the active sword that I handle to your sword. That way, there will be no side effects.”
“I see······.”
The teacher’s voice sounded empty and somewhat resigned.
While he felt regretful that his disciple had to learn swordsmanship from someone else, he also seemed to acknowledge that this was the best path.
For some reason, I felt bad.
I pretended to keep my voice cold and glared at the teacher.
“But, Master. You’re not planning on disappearing like this, even though you’re doing this for my sake, are you? You’re going to clear the thorny path in front of me, but you’re going out hunting for mines and demons······.”
Shudder.
Then, the teacher shuddered.
‘······Wow, that’s true. It was good that you gave me the Guardian Armor of the New Green. If it weren’t for that, I would have caught the Demon Beast and disappeared.’
I looked at her with a bewildered expression.
A head that drops down as if it has no face.
I clicked my tongue and said, “Tsk.”
“You know that’s cowardly, right?”
“······.”
She didn’t answer, but this must have been a silent affirmation.
“Really, if you are my master, you should take responsibility. Take responsibility for teaching me this kind of sword.”
“······responsibility?”
‘Oh my, I guess you have to say the word ‘responsibility’ to hear what I say.’
In fact, even now, I feel uneasy about saying things I don’t mean.
Honestly, I don’t care.
Now I’ve found a way. It doesn’t matter if I just continue on like before.
This old-fashioned teacher will never accept that.
When I turned my gaze back to the inspector, he opened his mouth.
“In order to work on improving the sword you made, you need someone who can use that sword right next to you. It’ll take quite some time, as it’s a process of combining swords.”
“But I don’t have time. I have to take academy classes, do party activities, and prepare for various things. I don’t have time to stay by the sword master’s side and do improvement work.”
“So, Baek Seol-hee. You have to take on that role.”
“······what!?”
The teacher looked puzzled after hearing that conclusion.
Her eyes were filled with confusion, as if she had not expected this development at all.
“Yes, Master, please improve the Wolyeong Sword Technique together with the Sword Master, and come to my class in the future to teach me.”
“I, I don’t have the face to do that······.”
Her voice trembled.
“You won’t take responsibility, will you?”
I stared at her and spat out in a serious voice.
“That, that······.”
The teacher shook his pupils, not knowing what to do.
I had no intention of looking.
Haaa …
I took a deep breath.
“Ah, then I’ll keep using this unfinished sword technique that someone taught me. I’ll run into someone stronger than me, attack them, and eventually die─.”
“······That. My, disciple─.”
“And now, if the people who taught me until now feel guilty and stop using their swords, then the world will be overflowing with demons, right?”
“······That’s it.”
“That person should learn the new Ice Sword and help with the Mind Slayer activities. Then I won’t meet strong enemies─”
“Ah, I understand······. Okay, then you can stop······. Jin Yu-ha.”
Eventually, the master surrendered.
At that, I clenched my fist inwardly.

The master and the inspector left.
The sword master said that he had so much magical power that without the demon beast that originally absorbed the magical power, he would no longer be able to move.
However, the situation is that the Demon King has died.
So this is the place I introduced her to.
jeju island.
Why Jeju Island?
Well, that’s because the space is there.
Originally, it was operated by the magic of the Fire Dragon, but now, with the Fire Dragon gone, it has been abandoned and stopped.
Ice Palace.
If a sword master with excessive magical power takes the place of the original fire dragon and maintains the ice palace and hot springs.
There, you would be able to move freely.
It’s a shame we can’t go outside the Ice Palace, but whatever.
It was the same in Taebaeksan, so it should be okay.
‘And Master’s parents are there too. I’ll be able to see them often.’
And Director Lina, who heard my report over the phone, let out a hollow laugh.
– ······I sent him to learn swordsmanship from the sword master, but he ended up blowing up a mountain. He really did all sorts of things······.
Even though I nagged at him like that.
– Anyway, I will take care of the aftermath of the disappearance of Taebaeksan. And thank you for protecting Seolhee.
At the end, he said thank you.
Teacher must be a precious person to Director Lina as well.
“What, you did it for me.”
Let’s wrap up the call with Lina like that, said Yuri Lee from the side.
“So, now we can go back to the academy?”
“Yeah. That’s right.”
Standing next to me were Yuri Lee, Dohee Kang, and Alice.
“······Academy, I’m not ready yet···.”
Even though Alice said so.
Well, I was planning to enroll next year anyway, and now I had to really work with my teacher to improve the Wolyeong Sword Technique.
That’s why the Academy decided to take care of Alice’s safety with Lina’s convenience.
“Then, let’s go back.”
I spoke to the party members and Alice.
That’s the way to go back.
For a moment, Yuri Lee’s expression hardened.
“Okay, just a moment, Jin Yu-ha······.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Oh, this······. A whole mountain blew away?”
“Huh? Right?”
I nodded at him, looking around at the scorched earth and almost flat land around me.
“Then… my shield?”
“shield?”
“Those are the shields I left at the bottom of the cliff──!!!”
ah.
I didn’t think of that?
* * *
After parting ways with Jin Yu-ha at Taebaek Mountain,
Baek Seol-hee leaves with the inspector.
“Wow······. That ice palace that Lina made······. Is it really cold?”
The inspector was chattering something beside her, but Baek Seol-hee couldn’t hear it.
Because complicated emotions were swirling in her mind right now.
Feelings such as guilt, regret, and deep love for one’s disciples.
‘······Stupid disciple.’
Jin Yu-ha pretended to have a stern expression on his face and said that it was his responsibility as a teacher to perfect the sword and pass it on, as if he was reproaching him.
How can I not know?
That it was all just a made-up story for himself.
Indeed, does that child know?
That my voice and actions were so awkward when I was acting.
In order to somehow relieve me of my responsibility, the disciple pretended to be cool and spoke as if he was reproaching me.
This is what Baek Seol-hee heard.
– Don’t think harshly, and continue to be by my side as a teacher.
And then, he thought that he would no longer use the Moonlight Sword Technique.
Under the pretext of killing a mine hunter, he tells me to learn the new ice sword.
Baek Seol-hee held the uniform in her arms tightly to her chest.
– That’s because I’m lending it to you until you forgive me. Until then, please use it cleanly and return it to me.
under.
Those absurd words kept ringing in her ears.
“As expected, this disciple is too good for such an incompetent teacher······.”
The cool texture of the uniform felt so warm somehow.
