Became a Swordsman Genius in a Pretty Girl Game - Chapter 303



303. Group Battle (1)

The training of the special admission students with Jin Yu-ha continued.

The training of the second week was about enduring the killing intent.

In the third week, Chun-hyun actively moved his body amidst that killing intent to execute techniques.

And the final training of the fourth week was for the team members to all charge at Jin Yu-ha, attempting to land even a single meaningful attack.

On the last day of the fourth week.

The training ground was utterly devastated.

Hah—

Hah—

Hwarang knelt on one knee, breathing heavily with a weary expression.

Cheolbyeok lay motionless, perhaps having fainted, sprawled over the large shield.

The only one still standing was Alice.

Even she could not be said to be in good condition.

Is this really something that makes sense?

I thought I had experienced enough of this man, Jin Yu-ha,

but I can’t see any limits at all.

Jin Yoo stood still, not moving a single step, with his sword aimed.

Not a drop of sweat or a hint of tension could be found on his face.

He looked as if he were declaring himself the only one in this realm.

“…It’s a monster. This is.”

“The Hwarang cadet, that’s quite a rough thing to say to an instructor.”

“Uh… Did I just say that out loud…?”

“Yeah.”

“I-I’m sorry.”

At that, Jin Yoo chuckled softly and nodded.

“I accept your apology.”

“C-Could you perhaps lessen the killing intent a bit?”

“Sorry. You need to experience as realistic a situation as possible to grow stronger.”

Jin Yoo turned his gaze toward Alice beside him.

With a cold, composed expression, he was determined to find an opening and succeed in his attack.

‘Hoo…’

If you need any further adjustments or additional context, feel free to ask!

Alice took a light breath to steady herself.

‘The killing intent… It’s okay.’

For her, enduring the killing intent was manageable.

Honestly, it was a bit overwhelming, but it wasn’t something she couldn’t handle.

After all, her mental state was different from that of the two—Hwarang and Cheolbyeok.

For reasons unknown.

Since one day, the seniors from Utopia had started to look after her.

Even now, in her dreams, Min Tae-hoon was spreading the seeds of magic among various academy newcomers,

stirring up the students and moving about freely with an abnormal obsession directed at her.

Alice, under the pretext of being a prospective party member, witnessed this alongside the other members.

Though it was a dream, Alice was thoroughly under Min Tae-hoon’s control, constantly displaying humiliating scenes.

Perhaps feeling a bit sorry for him, her senior, whom she had taken as a role model for her poker face,

Ichika had told her that she would let her dream separately.

– Dreams based on experience aren’t that hard to manifest.

She said such words.

If you need any further adjustments or additional context, feel free to ask!

Alice, who had been curious about what kind of dreams the Utopia seniors had even though she hadn’t spoken about it, nodded her head.

‘It was amazing…’

The dream that Ichika had allowed her to experience.

Was it to distinguish between reality and dreams?

Aside from the large phrase in the sky that read [ This is a dream. ], it was truly a realistic space.

In that place, Alice enjoyed a date with Jin Yuha in a lucid dream state.

The Jin Yuha in the dream, completely unaware of the man, skillfully led her while she was frozen in a stiff state.

When she opened her eyes wide at the first food she tasted, she smiled as if finding it cute.

And the scene where she wiped the sauce off her own mouth with her finger and licked it off was vividly etched in her mind along with the time spent with Jin Yuha.

‘So… this is all something that the Utopia seniors have experienced…’

When she first learned that the Utopia seniors shared Jin Yuha,

there was something strange she thought after understanding who Jin Yuha was.

Jin Yuha basically lived her day in very small fragments.

And even that was all spent either training as if being chased or planning and preparing for future events.

She was a person who lived her day busily, almost without any time to rest.

If you need any further adjustments or additional context, feel free to ask!

I couldn’t understand what it meant to share that time.

How could one not fight over that little bit of free time?

Such questions were inevitable.

However.

With the dream that Ichika had granted her this time, Alice was able to understand in an instant.

Although Jin Yuha invests very little time in each person, what if all of that is shared in dreams?

Of course, she claims that she never shares the most intimate relationships that cannot be compromised.

Yet, just from the heart-pounding experiences she had already gone through in the dream, Alice was able to understand their feelings.

And.

Having experienced the diverse aspects of Jin Yuha in her dreams,

‘This guy, isn’t he really something…?’

Though a slight grumbling feeling arose,

No matter how much Jin Yuha flaunted his life in front of her, she felt no fear towards him.

‘I have an advantage over those two, like a wall of iron and a flower.’

Yet, if the problem is that it’s difficult to break through, is that really a problem?

If you need further adjustments or additional context, feel free to ask!

“Focus, Alice.”

At that moment, Jin Yu-ha spat out in a cold voice.

Ah.

I momentarily lost my focus, distracted by other thoughts.

“You will be wearing artifacts that limit mana during the group sparring. And the male quotas… honestly, they won’t be of much help.”

That’s right.

Unlike at the beginning, when Jin Yu-ha had charged in with enthusiasm, she had completely ignored the male quotas, who had been sneaking away since the second week.

“So, just because you’re special admission students, there’s no guarantee that you will win.”

At Jin Yu-ha’s calm voice, Alice tightened her grip on her weapon.

* * *

Hoo─ Hoo─

Alice was calmly regulating her breath.

Watching her, I licked my lips inwardly.

In fact, I was aware that I was pushing her quite hard with the training.

‘But what can I do?’

If you need any further adjustments or additional context, feel free to ask!

Those men who were assigned to us are completely useless.

In the past, the two men who entered with me seemed like angels.

Even now, those guys occasionally send me messages, and it seems they’ve become talented individuals who can find their own way in various parties.

However, the men who were assigned to us this time are completely useless, no matter how hard we try to find a way to utilize them.

Even though we know it’s pointless, if we had someone with a bit of determination, we could try to teach them something.

But from the start, they’re just pretending to be sick or slacking off, skipping training.

It’s better to just let them retire here.

After entering the academy, can we even hold our own against monsters?

As long as we don’t put our fellow students in danger, that’s a relief.

So, I decided to give up on those guys early on and focus on the special admission students.

However, that means the other team has 8 members, while our team only has 3.

What’s more, with the magical power limit artifact, it’s even more disadvantageous.

It’s as if the advantage of being special admission students doesn’t exist for them.

“At least, the hopeful thing is that Alice is familiar with the sensation of wearing the magical power limit artifact, which she’s experienced her whole life.”

Alice became first place.

From my position, which had to be made part of the utopia, there was no answer but to push myself this hard.

After taking a moment to catch her breath, Alice began to swing her crescent blade like a windmill and charged forward once more.

From noble mtl dot com

Kwahwahwahwahwah─!

Brutal strikes flew in from all directions.

I swung my sword to deflect the blows while observing Alice.

‘But immunity to killing intent is really fascinating…’

Is she really a limited-edition character?

While the others were frozen and unable to move properly, Alice moved freely on her own.

Back when I first faced my master, I couldn’t even take a single step.

Swaaah─!

Clang!

The blade of the crescent sword, swung with all my strength, collided with the moonlight, creating a sound of shattering.

Ggggggk─!

‘Her strength is considerable.’

I subtly tilted my sword to the side, letting her power flow past me.

If you need any further adjustments or additional context, feel free to ask!

Next, she targeted the part that could be considered her weakness.

It was the inevitable opening that occurred after a big attack.

The moment she thrust her sword into that opening.

Sshhik─

Alice, as if she had been waiting for that moment, shot the arrow from the rear window of the crescent moon sword towards my waist.

Kwahng─!

I managed to block it by suddenly mustering my strength, but my body was pushed back a bit by the unexpected blow.

“Can she stop the arrow’s momentum there and immediately switch to a thrust?”

I lowered my sword and let out a dry laugh.

“Hmm, this… has she been trained too much?”

No, that can’t be.

The other instructors are also excellent, so it’s unlikely.

I’m not going to get crushed 8 to 3 or anything…

*

“Four! Four! Four! Alice!”

“Alice! Amazing! You really got one over on that instructor!!!”

Acknowledging the fact that she had indeed outsmarted him in the end,

When it was announced that Alice would receive four elixirs, Hwarang and Cheolbyeok jumped up and down with excitement.

Hwarang and Cheolbyeok,

Though they had also performed well, in the end, they fell just short compared to Alice.

Thus, the two of them would each receive three elixirs.

Despite the clear disparity in distribution, they seemed completely unconcerned and congratulated Alice wholeheartedly.

It seemed that Alice had also formed some bonds with the other special admission students.

‘Indeed, I should consider bringing these guys into Utopia 2.’

I watched them with a smile, nodding my head.

“Everyone, you’ve done well to keep up with the tough training so far. Starting tomorrow, we’ll have group sparring. Show off your skills to your heart’s content there.”

“Yes!”

“Sure! I’ll do my best!”

“I’ll be back.”

With that, the training schedule for the new students officially came to an end.
