“Let’s compete with me.”
Nabirose pulled the hilt of the sword. With a tickling sound, Ursa, the flying sword, appeared.
One of the masterpieces that Doron is proud of. The sword body, which was said to be made by mixing ten types of ores, was shiny and dark green like her eyes.
Ronan stood dumbfounded. He suddenly had no idea what was going on. Nabirose urged him in an irritated tone.
“What should I do?” “Pick it out.”
“Damn, I don’t know what it is…”
Ronan clicked his tongue and drew his sword. Today’s Butterfly Rose was somehow strange. He was sensitive and eccentric, just like a cat pricked by a rose.
Slurp! La Mancha’s black sword scattered shadows. Ymir was still tied to his waist.
“You’re not using a dagger?”
“yes.”
Ronan nodded. It seemed like she wouldn’t even be able to get her money’s worth from her half-baked two-handed approach. I chanted lowly as the butterfly caught her posture.
“Come with all your might.”
The voice was serious. Whatever the reason, it seemed clear that he was sincere.
Instead of answering, Ronan grabbed the hilt of his sword. Grumble! A dizzying bright red color rose up the sword body. Somehow it seemed like it was much easier to feed mana to the sword than before. Nabirose shrugged her eyebrows.
“is it. “Did you get there?”
“Do you mean there?”
“You have a core. “Your core, really.”
Ronan’s eyes widened. Now that I thought about it, I felt like her heart was beating differently than before. Should I say that it seems like something hotter than blood is stirring?
‘Is this also the aftermath of Haeju…?’
Maybe this is why my body became lighter. The two men retreated with a gap of about thirty steps. I opened her mouth with butterflies as Ronan confirmed her position.
“Let’s get started.”
Ronan nodded. At the same time, Nabirose’s figure disappeared from sight. pop! Her green flash flashed and her sword energy shot out from where she was standing.
“Nimi…!”
Ronan cursed. Two crescent moons were flying towards him. The flying swords criss-crossed seemed to be at least 30 meters long.
As I concentrated, I saw Nabirose running close behind Geomgi. The moment he saw her like that, Ronan realized how much she had hidden her skills during her classes. It was a speed she wouldn’t have even been able to react to two years ago.
‘It’s fun.’
But apart from my embarrassment, I felt my blood boiling. It was the battle with the Sentai Sword Saint that I had been looking forward to for so long. bang! Ronan trusted his intuition and leapt off the ground.
‘high···!’
The lighter body rose higher than expected. Before he knew it, the sword was right in front of him. Ronan crossed the lot in front of him and swung his sword.
Suddenly! The blade drew a circle and cut the intersection of the two sword blades. The sword energy, divided into four pieces, flew behind Ronan.
Quaaaang! The swords that hit the wall exploded. The remnants of mana flew like sparks. Nabirose, who was running, suddenly stopped. Ronan spun one more time and slashed his sword. A slash whose power was amplified several times fell on Nabirose’s head.
“Hmph!”
“that···!”
Nabirose’s face hardened. It seemed similar to his own spinning sword, but was subtly different. I had definitely seen the calm yet sharp sword somewhere before.
Questions arose, but there was no time to think about them now. She returned the attack by adjusting the hilt of her sword with both hands. Two blades collided in the air.
Kaaaaaaaaaa!
Metal sounds and pounding sounds mingled and rang out. Windows that could not withstand the shock wave shattered. The two people, surprised by each other’s strength, gritted their teeth.
“Mmm!”
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
However, no one was pushed back. After a brief struggle of strength, the two struck out their swords again.
Kagang! Kang! Swift swords that went far beyond recognition collided in succession. Every time the blades met, a red-green flash appeared in the air. Suddenly a question crossed Ronan’s eyes.
‘what?’
Something was strange. The more we divided the sum, the more heterogeneous it became. But there was no way to check right now, so Ronan grabbed the hilt of his sword. Good luck! A red light shimmering inside the blade rose to the surface.
“I’m going with all my heart.”
“You’re so rude.”
Butterfly Rose twisted her lips. thud! Ronan gave a short burst of energy and stamped his right foot. The sparkling roots that grew in an instant wrapped around Nabirose’s body.
“This···.”
Nabirose’s eyes widened. It was her car, swinging her sword at her where Ronan was bound. Kwasik! Her foot, which tore off her roots and stuck out, landed in Ronan’s abdomen.
“Keuuk!”
Ronan gritted his teeth. It was a shock that felt like my insides were turning inside out. He bounced and swung his sword at the same time. pop! A crimson sword was fired towards Nabirose.
However, rather than the existing crescent moon shape, it was an organic form of sword like a spray of water. Ronan exclaimed in exasperation at the transformation of the sword technique he had longed for.
“f*ck, that’s it!”
“Did you make it in the end?”
Nabirose laughed. A red torrent was rushing in. She lightly rotated her sword and defended her sword energy. Quagwagwang! The liquified spirit continued to pound Ursa’s sword belly. Suddenly a voice came from behind.
“also.”
The hairs on the back of my neck stood up. Nabirose quickly turned his head. Before I knew it, Ronan had returned and was swinging his sword sideways. Her rapid slash was flying, dragging her red tail.
“Tsk…!”
Nabirose quickly turned around and took a defensive stance. However, Ronan’s slash was already right around the corner. At this distance, Ursa will be pushed away and hit me. She gritted her teeth, sensing that she was one step too late.
“······?”
However, no collision occurred. La Mancha stopped right in front of Daetaedo. Butterfly Rose’s brows were wrinkled.
“···What is this doing?”
Ronan didn’t answer. As soon as he lowered his sword, La Mancha’s color returned to its original state. Nabirose distorted her face even more and growled lowly.
“I asked what you were doing.”
“Once it heals, it will come back together.”
Ronan said calmly. Snow was seeping in through the broken window. With butterflies, I frowned at her.
“what?”
“It’s not normal, instructor. “Did you get into an accident?”
For a moment, a terrible silence fell. After being silent for a few seconds, she opened her mouth.
“…I wasn’t hurt.”
“f*ck it, then what the hell happened? Why don’t you use everything? “There’s too much unnecessary movement.”
Ronan listed the unexpected events he felt in rapid fire. Nabirose’s skills as a whole had degenerated. He was good as far as his fierce driving force, but that’s all. Ever since he meditated, he had thought something was strange, but he didn’t know it was to this extent.
“Ronan…”
“Tell me honestly. “What’s the problem?”
For the first time, I hated Adeshan. It’s a shame that everyone is healthy. Judging by the degree of degeneration, it was clear that the prosecutor had suffered a fatal injury.
Like arms or legs. You must have lied to reassure me. Nabirose, who had been silent for a long time, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“…lost to Jaifa.”
“yes?”
“That’s literally it. It happened early this year. “I just couldn’t keep my composure.”
Nabirose sighed. She challenged Jaifa again for the position of Sword Saint earlier this year, but ended up losing.
There were no injuries, but the main point was that he lost even though he was trying again. Ronan frowned.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute, so you’re not hurt? “Not even one place?”
“okay. “Didn’t I tell you earlier?”
Nabirose nodded. She kept talking in a tone as if she was asking what she was talking about earlier. Ronan, who swallowed the swear words that rose up to her uvula, breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Damn, you’re scaring people.’
I felt like I had aged ten years. Adeshan wasn’t lying. He was brushing his bangs and opened his mouth.
“Damn, I’m glad you weren’t hurt. “I thought my arm had been cut off and replaced with a prosthetic arm.”
“well. “Maybe it would have been better that way.”
“yes?”
“I was confident with this fight. “I can’t beat that cat in my life.”
She said that the last fight made her realize her limitations. It came as a huge shock to Nabi Rose, who had been fighting all her life except for Jaifa and the gray-haired man.
Not only would she not be able to use her skills to her full potential, but she would not be able to use her Auror Mansa. Butterfly Rose smiled bitterly.
“You have a childish attitude. “I’m sorry for showing you such an embarrassing side of me.”
“Instructor.”
Ronan twisted his mouth. She never imagined that the seemingly unbreakable person would end up like this. I opened her mouth with a butterfly as she quietly looked up at Ronan.
“But… it’s a bit better now.”
“yes?”
“Because, unlike me, one more student with potential has appeared.”
Ronan lowered his gaze. Butterfly Rose’s face became brighter. She sheathed her sword and struck Ronan in the chest.
“I’ve grown to the point where it’s embarrassing to compare myself to before… What on earth happened in the past two years?”
“I just did some self-reflection.”
“Someone came here with an awakened Auror, and you make me happy again in this way.”
Butterfly Rose seemed genuinely happy as she said that. I felt that the darkness on her face had lifted a little.
“I shouldn’t be a shameful teacher either.”
Seeing that he was able to forget his own pain through the achievements of his students, he was indeed a natural teacher. The two briefly exchanged information about their current situation.
“You met Adeshan before you came here? “But didn’t that child tell you about my condition?”
“I didn’t say it. “He said he felt like he had to hear it from his own mouth.”
“Anyway, you’re a good kid. “You’re not even my assistant anymore.”
“I think so. That, instructor. “I have a favor to ask.”
Nabirose tilted her head. Ronan opened her mouth. She shrugged her eyebrows when he heard her say that she wanted to go to Rodolan.
“Rhodolan. Are you planning to go see the Winter Witch?”
“yes.”
“I knew so. “As soon as you return, you throw yourself into the whirlpool.”
Ronan scratched his head as if he had no shame. After stroking her chin for a moment, I shook her head.
“I get it. “Let’s contact Inquisitor Karaka.”
“thank you.”
“Instead, don’t do anything reckless. “Because the Festival of Swords will be held soon.”
“Hey, what am I going to do?”
“Whatever it was, I did it. “And only with fairly loud ones.”
The two people facing each other giggled at the same time. Nabirose picked up a lying canteen. She shook off the remaining water and opened her mouth.
“Ronan.”
“yes?”
“I’m glad to be back.”
Butterfly Rose turned her back with those words. I noticed his footsteps becoming faster, as if he was running away. He was a strange person who felt ashamed. Ronan, who was watching her back, laughed.
“me too.”
****
Even though the sun had set, the sky was cloudy. A howling wind noise was heard irregularly. Every time the moonlight appeared between the clouds, the snow piled on the ground glowed softly.
Nabirose said that he would receive a reply from Lodolan tomorrow at the latest. After finishing his conversation with her, Ronan immediately left the Gallerion Pavilion.
The purpose was to visit the new club building. Originally, I was planning to visit a little later, but Marya insisted that I come today, so I had no choice.
“It was definitely said here…”
Ronan reached the northern part of the campus and looked around. The garden, which was originally full of flowers and trees, had turned into a pure white snow field. Even after washing my eyes and searching, I couldn’t find a building that could be used as a club building.
‘Damn, didn’t I give you the wrong information?’
Ronan took out his cigarette and cursed. It was difficult for her to light a fire because the snow was pouring down non-stop. At that time, a familiar voice was heard from not far away.
“Ro, Ronan! “This way!”
“Huh?”
Ronan turned his head. A guy the size of a rat was wearing a fur coat and shivering. The bright red hair, like a tulip, was more visible than the lantern held in his hand.
“Were you there?”
Ronan shook off the wet cigarette but took a step forward. Asher was completely frozen and was turning into her snowman. Ronan frowned at her.
“Are you okay, man?”
“Hey, I felt like I was getting lost, so I came out for a moment…”
“Tsk, you’re foolish.”
Ronan brushed the snow off his hat. Behind Asher, there was a small building built. It was a small, unsightly building that could have been used as a warehouse at most, but I couldn’t see it because the exterior walls were pure white and the roof was covered in snow. Ronan frowned.
“That old man, Kratir, deceived me.”
“Oh, no… you’ll be surprised when you go inside.”
“I guess so.”
Ronan grumbled and entered the building. The moment I closed the door, the sound of the wind quieted down.
A small lamp was shining overhead. The rectangular space was filled with thick piles of firewood.
“That’s amazing. “It’s a firewood bed.”
“Well, it’s all a trick. “The stairs appear suddenly, so be careful.”
“what?”
Ronan tilted his head. Asher took her step without hesitation. Ronan’s eyes widened as he saw his leg pass through the firewood. Surprisingly, all the firewood was an illusion without substance.
‘I put a lot of effort into it.’
It was an advanced technique only seen in the library of the Dawn Magic Tower. After walking through the fake firewood, it wasn’t long before a staircase leading down appeared.
It was a fairly steep and deep staircase. A delicious smell was wafting from somewhere. Ronan, who was going down the stairs, asked Asher.
“So why did you say it can’t be done except today? “There are many other days.”
“Well, that’s…”
Asher scratched his cheek and averted his gaze. It seemed clear that he was hiding something as he did not respond even when I threatened to tie his hair into pigtails.
The moment I finally reached the end of the stairs, the view was wide open. Asher shouted.
“D-I brought you!”
“Ah, finally.”
Ronan’s eyes widened. There was a crowd of people gathered together.
It was a familiar and yet nostalgic aspect, but right now, it was more of a surprise than a joy. Ronan burst into laughter upon seeing the new club.
“···This crazy old man.”
