Episode 016
Anyway, we had to cross swords with each other while taking classes during the semester, but for no reason we ended up telling lies like ‘I actually came from a magic school, but my dream was to become a sword master’, which didn’t do any good for either of us.
Moreover, as the White Tiger Tower students were wary of Lee Han, there was a need to ease their guard.
-I’ll just hold on for a while and get the score, so you don’t have to worry!
“……”
However, the other person’s expression seemed very subtle and complex.
To be precise, he looked like he was worried because he didn’t know whether what Lee Han said was a lie or not.
“I… I see. I come from the Moradi family. “Call me Moradi.”
“okay. Nice to meet you. Moradi.”
Lee Han held Moradi’s hand and shook it lightly.
Although he was small in stature, the blisters and calluses on his palms reminded me that he came from a knightly family.
‘for a moment. If it’s the Moradi family…’
Moradi family.
Lee Han was also from a family of imperial knights whose name I had heard of several times.
I heard that this is a family that protects the area in the cold north with iron-blooded rules, and will use any means necessary to achieve its goals…
‘…It’s a bit contrary to the family’s image.’
“?”
Moradi looked puzzled at Lee Han’s eyes.
‘Well, there’s no way that family reputation always matches.’
Compared to his previous opponent, who didn’t care about each other’s families and started arguments as he pleased, Moradi felt like he had more common sense.
‘I’ll have to persuade the other White Tiger Tower students to relax their guard.’

Byeokamgeom (碧巖劍).
It was the name of the swordsmanship learned from the old knight of the Lee Han family, Allarlong.
As you can guess from the name Blue Rock, Allarlong’s swordsmanship was solid and sturdy.
-There are countless varieties of swordsmanship in the world. There is no need to learn all the fast, slow, sharp, blunt, heavy, light, simple, and complex sword techniques… and I do not have the ability to teach them. The swordsmanship I will teach is the way of my sword that I have learned and believe in. One day, if Lee Han continues to walk the path of the sword, he will realize his own path.
Allarlong, who had been practicing swordsmanship for decades, and Lee Han, who had been practicing swordsmanship for less than ten years at most, had different experience levels.
So I couldn’t understand everything that Alarrong said…
Lee Han had one advantage that other nobles did not have.
The point was that if you criticize it, you criticize it.
Lee Han did as he was told, to the point where Allarlong was embarrassed, and thanks to this, Lee Han’s swordsmanship was completely basic, with no unnecessary details.
“Byukamgeom? The foundation is well established.”
Professor Ingalldell also praised Lee Han’s posture.
“What family are you from? “If it’s Byukam Sword, it’s definitely…”
“I am from the Wardanaz family.”
“…?”
Professor Ingalldel was momentarily slow to react.
Was the Wardanaz family’s sword technique a wall sword?
Professor Ingaldel, who belatedly remembered what kind of family the Wardanaz family was, asked curiously.
“May I ask why you want to learn swordsmanship?”
“Isn’t swordsmanship a basic skill for imperial nobles?”
Ingalldel smiled bitterly at that answer.
It wasn’t a wrong answer, but it wasn’t the answer Ingaldel liked.
For a born swordsman like Ingalldel, swordsmanship was a skill that could determine life or death, not a culture for nobles.
“At first, I thought and learned that way too. However, the more I learned, the more I realized that swordsmanship is a discipline as deep as magic. So I came here to learn more.”
“…perfect score!!”
“yes?”
“it’s nothing.”
Ingalldel waved his hand.
The unexpected and wonderful answer made my inner feelings come out.
I never would have thought that someone from a famous magic family called the Wardanaz family would take swordsmanship so seriously.
It was a much nicer attitude than some of the pretentious White Tiger Tower students.
‘Did it work?’
Lee Han keenly observed Ingaldel’s expression.
Compared to the crazy Principal Rich, Professor Ingalldel had a harsh appearance but was a very easy-to-understand and good-natured person.
For Lee Han, who was worn out under crazy professors, it was easy to capture the heart of a naive person like Professor Ingalldel.
No matter how much you come here to score points, you have to hide your true feelings in front of the professor.
“It’s a great mindset.”
“thank you.”
“Hearing those words makes me think that I should also work hard. I will deal with you seriously. ruler. “Raise your wooden sword.”
“……”
Lee Han slightly regretted answering too well.
* * *
Professor Ingalldel beat the students without stopping.
The students, who were initially caught off guard by his kind and gentle attitude, became angry and attacked him after receiving a few blows.
Professor Ingalldel once again beat up those students and turned them into rats with their tails down.
‘and. ‘It’s no joke.’
Lee Han’s swordsmanship skills still had a long way to go, but he was still good enough to recognize how great his opponent was.

Allarlong, who taught Lee Han, was a great swordsman, but Professor Ingerdel was no less than him.
If Allarlong was a swordsman like a motionless rock, Ingalldel was a swordsman like fast-flowing water.
What was surprising was that one arm and one leg showed such movement even though they were prosthetic limbs.
The students, who had been practicing their family’s swordsmanship for a long time, were unable to keep up with Professor Ingalldell’s movements at all and were beaten mercilessly.
“For a purple cloud sword, there is too little change. The key to dual swords is their difficulty and complexity! Instead of swinging the sword blindly, it would be better to think more carefully before swinging it.”
“Gosan Moon Sword is faster and sharper! “Don’t pay attention when you stab, just throw yourself at it with full force.”
In addition, as befits his position as a professor, Ingaldel recognized all the sword techniques performed by the students.
There were hundreds of famous sword techniques in the empire, and if you count those that were passed down only in families, the number was countless.
But Ingalldel even knew the names of those sword techniques.
“I’ll take a short break.”
“……”
“Gagging…”
“f*ck…”
The students lay down on their sides, groaning. I wanted to swear, but I didn’t even have the energy to do so.
Lee Han also had sore muscles and tingling in his body.
-Byeokamgeom is a sword technique similar to a rock. Don’t be swayed by any attack.
-Uh, the professor’s skills are higher than mine, so how can you not be shaken?
-Okay, let’s keep attacking. Try to block it! ruler! ruler! ruler!
Ingalldel was good at finding weaknesses that even Lee Han didn’t know about and hit them.
Lee Han had to fight hard to survive.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I think I made a mistake…’
When it was time for a break, Lee Han had no choice but to think that way.
No matter how much I thought about it, I felt like I was hit more and more persistently than other students.
Of course, it could have been because of Lee Han’s swordsmanship, but Lee Han’s intuition told him otherwise.
Haven’t you already experienced what happens when you get caught by a professor in the wrong book in Understanding Basic Alchemy?
Should I have just stayed still?
‘I didn’t know I would get beaten up even more just because I got the score.’
“Wardanaz?”
“yes. professor.”
“Please come out and spar for a moment.”
“……”
Lee Han thought he really made a mistake.
I can’t believe I had to be beaten alone by the professor while everyone else was taking a break.
However, Ingalldel did not summon Lee Han to beat him.
“This is Durgyu of the Choi family. Let the two students have a quick sparring session.”
“!”
Not only Lee Han but also the students who were resting were surprised.
Why those two?
‘You’re the guy who started the fight earlier, right?’
Lee Han looked at Dergyu with a shocked expression.
He didn’t look good as he was the one who started an argument by asking, ‘Why is the guy from the other dorm attending the lecture?’
Moreover, isn’t he a guy with such a stubborn head that he starts a fight without any hesitation even after finding out that Lee Han is from the Wardanaz family?
It was clear that instead of taking it lightly as a sparring match, they would rush at me recklessly.
“All right. professor!”
After saying that, the orc glared at Lee Han as if he were going to kill him. Lee Han clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘I can see his true feelings very clearly.’
You could read on his face that he was planning to use this opportunity to step on another unlucky student in the dormitory.
I couldn’t figure out why the professor chose Lee Han out of so many students…
‘I’m sure the professor didn’t pick me up because I was a student from another dorm. It seemed like he definitely liked the answer from earlier.’
Now that the situation was like this, Lee Han had no intention of backing down.
I could have stayed comfortably in the family mansion, playing and eating, but the reason I learned swordsmanship while getting beaten up by Allarlong was so that I wouldn’t get beaten up at times like this!
* * *
The reason Professor Ingalldel chose Dergyu and Lee Han was simple.
Now, it was because two of the students were the most outstanding.
Swordsmanship was not something that could be practiced right away just by learning it.
The core techniques of swordsmanship, swordsmanship, were basically something that could be understood only after practicing thousands of times and actually experiencing them in person.
For example, let’s say there is a technique where you try to stab an opponent in the chest, but then change your trajectory and stab the opponent in the neck.
If you just use it all the time, it won’t hit you unless you’re a very stupid enemy.
The destructive power of the technique can be revealed only if you slightly threaten to swing it beforehand, or use a trick like aiming for the bottom, or use these detailed movements in succession.
In other words, understanding swordsmanship was possible to fully unfold through this application.
As long as he knew how to understand the swordsmanship he had learned, he would be at ease with most mercenaries outside.
Most mercenaries didn’t know what they were doing, so they left it to their instincts and strength and just swung around at random…
In that respect, the two were at a level where they understood and knew how to use the swordsmanship they had learned.
The two even infused magical power into their weapons, although it was feeble.
Even if he came from a knightly family, at this age, he had enough talent to become a knight and succeed.
‘How difficult must it have been to practice swordsmanship to that extent in a magical family like the Wardanaz family!’
Even with the Choi family’s Durgyu, it was truly surprising that a student from a magic family like Wodanaz had such high achievement in swordsmanship.
And that was even more special to Ingalldel.
‘Swordsmanship is as deep and meaningful as magic. That student must have felt the same way, so he made up his mind and came to learn.’
Ingalldell misunderstood Lee Han.
They thought that Lee Han had risked his life on swordsmanship to the extent that he secretly learned swordsmanship while keeping his family in check.
In fact, the Wardanaz family did not interfere much with Lee Han learning swordsmanship from Allarlong.
Originally, the Wardanaz family took care of their own business and did not interfere with each other’s actions.
But to Ingaldel, who didn’t know that, Lee Han was an amazing and unfortunate student.
Since they met like this, Ingaldel had the responsibility to guide Lee Han along the path of the sword.
‘The Choi family’s Gosan Moon Sword (高山月劍) is a fast and sharp sword. In comparison, Wodanaz’s wall sword is a heavy and strong sword. The styles are completely opposite to each other. If we compete against each other, we will learn a lot. ‘Because the existence of a rival who can compete on equal footing with oneself on the path of the sword is more precious than anything else.’
Of course, Professor Ingalldel also noticed that the White Tiger Tower students were hostile toward Lee Han, who was the only student from another dormitory.
But that was something that would be resolved over time.
If they get beaten like dogs under Professor Ingalldel, they won’t have time to get along with each other. Because you will only hate Professor Ingalldel!
Professor Ingalldell sincerely hoped that the two most outstanding students would have a positive influence on each other, and that that positive influence would spread to other students as well.
Sigh!
As Professor Ingalldel was thinking such things, what caught his eye was Lee Han kicking the dirt with his foot and scattering it on Dergyu’s face.
