Episode 46. Swordsman(1)
One.
After all the teleportation magic circles were installed, we moved to the Sword God Guild.
“what’s the matter?”
As we were moving as a class to the Sword God Guild using the teleportation magic circle, I asked Hwang Da-bin, who was standing next to me, when I saw his expression.
“huh? why?”
“You are about to die. What’s going on?”
“Oh yeah? just… … .”
I felt uneasy about the fact that I was going to the Sword God Guild.
Because her father was in the Sword God Guild.
“Don’t worry too much. “The results aren’t out yet, but I’m sure I will be the top performer in the performance evaluation.”
Hwang Da-bin nodded at my words.
-What?
Goldie, who was on Hwang Da-bin’s shoulder, was in a hidden state and looked at Hwang Da-bin with concern.
Hwang Da-bin muttered softly at that sight.
“Are you worried about me too?”
-Ppyuk!
Goldie chose me and Dabin Hwang as her owners.
Last time, I checked Goldie’s status window because I was notified that my intimacy with Goldie had reached 100.
[Gold Slime]
-Name: Goldie
-Title: King Slime
-Talent: Transformation
-Grade: Class A
-Closeness: 100
└Communication with the monster becomes possible.
-Owners: Lee Si-woo, Hwang Da-bin
Strangely enough, even though Goldie was a monster, he had talent and class.
I thought the reason they chose two owners was because Hwang Da-bin fed them often.
As I was watching Dabin Hwang playing with Goldie, I felt the teleportation magic circle being activated.
“The magic circle is activated.”
We, Class 5 students, mentally prepared ourselves after hearing the words of the Sword God Guild guild member.
Shuuuung!
The magic circle vibrated, and when I closed my eyes and opened them, the world had changed.
“welcome. “I came to the Sword God Guild.”
The person who greeted us when we arrived at the Sword God Guild was Hwang Da-bin’s father, Hwang Dong-hyeon.
***
One video was uploaded to each tube.
The title of the video was simple.
‘Rebellions appeared at Awakening High School.’
Awakened people around the world who watched the video were surprised by two things.
One was that Gakseong High School had remodeled the gate and was using it for educational purposes.
Two of them were the fact that Rebellions appeared at Awakening High School and threatened the students.
And all the awakened people who watched the video to the end started leaving the same comments.
[Kang Cheol-soo: Who is the student who defeated the lycanthrope? I would like to hire you as our new member.]
[Evolved: Is it possible to defeat a lycanthrope in one blow? Even just a student?]
[Lion: Lord… work… !]
[Blue Fox: You are all wrong. Possible ㅇㅇ.]
[Songcheong: I can catch it myself, it is possible.]
[Habaekdam: I was watching another video, and there was a rumor that that student was a munchkin even though he was in F grade… … .]
[Red-colored fish: Over there? Is your talent a bit strange?]
[Ong: I think it will be possible if you multiply my lightning strike by 1,000,000 times.]
[Hire: No, so who is he?]
Yoo Ah-ram smiled happily as he read the comments.
The video was edited as the school wanted.
Editing focused on the appearance of Rebellions and emphasized educational gates.
Thinking that he had done enough, Yoo Ah-ram included Lee Si-woo’s performance in the final highlight.
The scene where lightning strikes a lycanthrope in one blow was truly thrilling.
Yoo Ah-ram was satisfied with his editing skills.
Yoo Ah-ram, who was reading the comments while lying in the accommodation assigned by the Sword God Guild, thought.
‘Hehe, I hope Siwoo likes it.’
2.
“I heard about the performance evaluation scores from the teachers. I never thought I would really win first place. amazing!”
I tilted my head as Hwang Dong-hyeon smiled and said.
I don’t know why, but Hwang Dong-hyun seemed to view me favorably.
No matter how much I won the bet, I had no idea that people would change so much.
“You made good friends.”
“Ah yes.”
Hwang Da-bin also looked at Hwang Dong-hyeon’s face with a strange expression.
Her father was always stingy with praise,
I seemed to be in a strangely good mood today, but I couldn’t quite figure out why.
“So, like you promised, you won’t touch Dabin at all until he graduates?”
Hwang Dong-hyeon nodded obediently at those words.
“Haha, do whatever you want!”
Although I thought Hwang Dong-hyeon’s boisterous laughter strange, I was relieved that Hwang Da-bin was free.
If Hwang Da-bin is forced to join the Geomshin guild because of Hwang Dong-hyeon, the future will change.
Hwang Da-bin had to become Yoo Da-hee’s disciple.
Previously, when she went to second grade, Yoo Da-hee tried to take Hwang Da-bin with her.
I thought that in this episode, maybe Yoo Da-hee could make Hwang Da-bin her disciple sooner.
“Thank you for keeping your promise.”
Hwang Dong-hyeon seemed to like me more after hearing my polite thank you.
After leaving Hwang Dong-hyeon’s office with Hwang Da-bin, I looked back at Hwang Da-bin.
I said as I saw Dabin Hwang tilting his head with a vague feeling.
“Is something strange?”
“uh. “Is it possible to change like that in an instant if you get first place in a performance evaluation?”
We headed to the accommodation assigned by the Sword God Guild with puzzled expressions on our faces.
“Roommate!”
He must have been waiting for us to return, and as we got closer to the accommodation, I saw Jeong Ju-won, who was standing outside, calling out to me.
“Why are you outside?”
“Have you seen the video Aram posted on YouTube?”
“huh? no?”
“why? “What video did you upload?”
Jeong Ju-won, who had an expression of ‘Of course, that’s right’ in response to our reaction, showed us the video posted by Yoo Ah-ram.
-It’s so bad!! Kyaowong!
In the video, the lycanthrope was being electrocuted and was screaming.
Soon the lycanthrope fell, and the video ended with a close-up of my back with a magnificent background sound.
“… … .”
“how is it? Don’t you kill me? The comment window exploded! “Everyone is going to ask who you are and make a fuss?”
It seemed like Jeong Ju-won was waiting for me to show me this.
When I first saw this video, I was a little embarrassed.
I understand what the school’s intention was in producing this video, but the final directing was nothing more than highlighting me as the new star opposing the Rebellions.
I don’t know what Yoo Ah-ram’s intention was in making the video like this, but I thought that since the video was out like this, I should take advantage of the situation.
“Wait a minute, I’m going somewhere.”
“huh? “Where are you going?”
“Everyone is curious about me.”
I had already said that I would film a video with Yoo Ah-ram after the performance evaluation, and it seemed like it went well.
Of course, there was someone I had to meet before that.
3.
“hello.”
I came to Geomshin and Ban Isu alone.
Ban Isu, with long white hair, was looking at me with an interesting expression.
“So, what’s going on?”
“I’m sure you’ve seen the video.”
“By video, do you mean the video sent out by the school?”
“yes. And in the previous video, I saw Geomshin leave a comment saying he would try to raise me.”
“It was like that. But I think you should learn from someone else rather than me?”
When I thought about why Ban Yi-su, who had said he would raise me, stayed still, I thought it was because of the gauntlets I was wearing.
It was clear that the other guy Ban Yi-su mentioned was referring to ‘Choi Kang’, one of the seven heroes.
Seeing that I was wearing the strongest gauntlet, it was natural to think so.
If the other person thinks that way, just say so.
This was the know-how I gained through experience.
“Yes, I also plan to learn from him.”
Ban Yi-soo made an expression of ‘As expected’ at my words and then looked strange.
“huh? “Then why did you come to see me?”
I raised my fist.
“If only he were an expert in this field.”
After saying this, I continued speaking while looking around at the swords hanging throughout the Sword God’s room.
“Isn’t the Sword God an expert when it comes to swords?”
Geomsin and Ban Isu, who smiled brightly at those words, asked with a serious expression.
“You guy, have you ever heard of a sword?”
I answered that with a smile.
“Sure.”
“okay? I don’t think I have any talent with a sword… … . Well, good. “Take a look at your sword and think about it.”
So I headed to the Sword God Guild’s training hall with Ban Isu.
4.
Ha! Ha!
“hmm?”
When we arrived at the training hall, we realized that someone was using the training hall first.
“Who is it? “I told you not to let anyone in while you were here?”
“Then aren’t you a student at Awakening High School?”
A student with enough passion to swing a sword at night in the Sword God Guild’s training hall.
I felt like I knew who the people inside were without having to look inside the training hall.
We opened the door to the training hall and entered.
Light purple hair was seen shaking.
As expected, it was Choi Min-ji senior who was swinging the sword inside.
“Wow, your energy is quite sharp.”
I laughed to myself at Ban Yi-su’s words.
Whether it was before or now, it seemed like the praising of his students was still the same.
“Senior Minji Choi?”
“huh? Lee Si-woo? omg! Oh, hello!”
Senior Choi Min-ji turned to look at us at my call, saw Ban Yi-su next to me, and quickly said hello.
“Hehe, sorry for disturbing you.”
“no!”
“Sword dance on a moonlit night, child, what is your name?”
“My name is Minji Choi.”
While watching Ban Yi-su and Choi Min-ji having a conversation, I started looking at the swords hanging in the training hall.
“I think this will do.”
Senior Minji Choi tilted her head as she saw me choosing a sword.
“Lee Si-woo?”
“Ah, senior. From now on, I am going to swing this sword against the Sword God. Would you like to take a look?”
As I said that, I looked back at Ban Yi-su.
“Okay, since we interrupted your time, I guess that’s good too.”
“yes?!”
Senior Minji Choi looked at the two of us with an expression of not knowing what was going on.
I raised my sword towards Ban Isu, the hero of the seven called the god of swords.
There were two reasons why I asked Ban Yi-su to learn from me.
First things first.
It was to receive a blow from Geomshin and receive the S-class talent from Geomshin.
Second, I wanted to learn how to swing a sword from him.
During the second round, because my talent was known to everyone, all of the seven heroes except the ‘strongest’ were reluctant to face me.
Therefore, there was not much opportunity to see the talents of the seven heroes, the protagonists of Part 1.
It was good to see it with my own eyes, even if only for later purposes.
“Then, let’s go.”
At least while I was in the Sword God Guild, I was able to learn how to use a sword from Ban Isu.
I was planning to show Ban Yi-su that I had exactly that level of skill.
To do that, I used senior Minji Choi’s talent.
[Use the sub-talent ‘Kendo’ of the talent ‘Transfer’. You can check the path the sword will take for 5 minutes.]
Then, the path of the sword began to appear, a different feeling from Hwanan.
And I swung the sword toward the path of the sword that I could see.
