Episode 73 Adrias’ advice
Chris, whose sword technique was destroyed in a single move, looked at his sparring sword, which had broken because it could not withstand the vibration, with an expression of disbelief.
And Serena, who was behind her, and Ivy, who was observing, were watching the scene with surprised expressions.
They probably couldn’t have imagined it.
That’s right, Junor’s sword was a sword with a high reputation as one of the five greatest swords of the empire.
You can’t help but be surprised that such a sword technique was destroyed with just one move.
“Chris Eunor.”
I vigorously called out the name of the unconscious person.
“The sparring isn’t over yet. The sparring I was talking about would definitely have been called ‘2 to 1’. “Hurry up and pick up your new sword.”
But he still couldn’t come to his senses, so I ended up hitting on him.
“How long will it stay in place? “It’s a waste of the name Junor to be shocked by something like this.”
“How dare you!”
As expected, I came to my senses right away.
No, you didn’t come to your senses, did you just turn around?
Anyway, Chris, looking frantic, brought back a new sparring sword.
‘okay. ‘That’s how it should be.’
I haven’t even given him the advice he needs yet.
The sparring with him had to continue.
“Serena. How long will you just watch? “Are you kidding me there?”
When I mentioned Serena, she flinched and swallowed.
And then I began to calmly prepare to leave.
‘okay. It’s a special lesson for you and Chris to end up like this.’
I am fully aware of their potential, growth potential, and talents.
There will be few people who can give you better advice than me.
I said, raising my sword.
“Go for it.”
Chris and Serena ran towards me.
Chaejaejaeng!
Kang! Quack!
Phew-huh.
Sword and sword came together.
Serena and Chris were definitely strong.
Fighting with only a sword without the help of magic and undead felt a little daunting.
‘But it doesn’t work for me yet.’
Simply the time spent on training meant nothing compared to talent and density.
Of course, Serena and Chris have never bowed down in terms of talent, but they have not yet blossomed.
‘If you just give it direction, it will grow quickly.’
bang!
The swords clashed once again, and a loud noise that could hardly be attributed to swords clashing erupted.
The person we are now crossing swords with is Serena.
This guy is also taking the wrong direction.
“It took too much force.”
With those words, I naturally relaxed my grip on the sword.
Then Serena fell forward as if she was going to fall, just as she had been pushing.
He kicked her mercilessly and dodged Chris’ sword that came his way.
“What are you going to do with this useless sword? “Is Junor’s sword only that good?”
“이 개새끼가!”
In a frenzy, Chris swung his quick sword once again, but the sword was somehow heavy.
Originally, the Junor family’s sword techniques were not like that.
However, Chris, who felt limited by his inability to surpass Lewis, was reusing his sword at will.
‘I guess I should show you around here.’
A changing sword.
Among them, I remembered the quick sword I used when dealing with Hosan.
Even if you don’t push yourself as hard as you did then, you will still be able to achieve some speed.
Weeeeing.
window!
The sword flew out as if it were exploding with a sound of mana.
Although it is a fast sword like Yunor’s sword technique, my sword is literally a sword that has reached extreme speed.
Pow!
“Ugh… … .”
The sword swung at incredible speed hit Chris in the abdomen, who could not even react.
If Chris hadn’t been activating his body with mana, his internal organs would have been crushed.
“Keueuuuu.”
Chris didn’t fall.
But it looked very painful.
I kicked him, who couldn’t even stand properly, and knocked him down.
“Ugh.”
“chris. You finished bastard. With that level of skill, I’ve already put useless thoughts into the quick sword, so it’s become a sword that’s neither good nor bad. know?”

At that time, Serena came swinging her great sword at me while I was talking.
However, I did not let down my guard and deflected her sword to block it and channeled my mana.
The ‘changing sword’ used this time is a heavy sword.
Coo!
Serena, who, as expected, was pushed back little by little, eventually lost her balance.
He punched the opponent who had lost his balance.
Pow!
He shook his head and said to Serena, who flew away after being punched.
“I don’t understand why you use a sword that is so focused on strength. Are you stupid? “Anyone with a bit of intelligence will develop by emphasizing their strengths and eliminating their weaknesses, so why do you bother to deal with them with a force that is not advantageous?”
“… … “Without even knowing.”
Serena muttered and straightened her posture again.
You may not know it, but I probably know your sword better than your parents.
Serena had three older brothers.
Serena, who grew up among such men, had a complex about her physical limitations.
‘That’s why you try to use such a powerful sword.’
But in my opinion, it was just stupid.
Why do you want to give up your strengths and walk down the thorny path?
Of course, in my age group, there was no one I couldn’t beat except for Chris and Lewis.
Even though he had those flaws, his talent made up for them.
But not since.
If you continue to grow in the wrong direction like that, your talent will eventually fade.
‘In reality, if you play Lewis or Chris and don’t follow Serena’s direction, 3 out of 10 times, your skills will catch up with the extra characters.’
Of course, most people wake up and escape on their own.
But now that I’m involved, I guess I can act as a little lubricant.
‘Serena’s strengths are her smooth linking ability using flexibility and her intuition to identify the opponent’s weaknesses. So, you need to relax and focus on speed.’
I’d like to help guide the direction of training, but let’s think about it after we get to know each other first.
I guess I’ll just have to let it go for a bit and see.
This time, I ran first.
* * *
After a while of grabbing, he spoke to Serena and Chris who were lying on the floor.
“Hey, there’s something I want to ask you two.”
“Ha, whoa… … “What are you saying out of the blue?”
Serena asked back in a voice still full of hostility, but no rebuttal was allowed.
Pride in the subject that fell to the floor.
“Why are you holding a sword?”
Is it because it was such a sudden question?
Serena and Chris were just gathering themselves without any response.
“I mean. Even though he’s a wizard, he doesn’t take the sword lightly. I’m bragging, but my skills speak for themselves. But sometimes I also have doubts. Why did I pick up the sword? “What does a sword mean to me?”
I moved the sparring sword to my left hand and slowly pulled out Galaxur with my right hand.
The cold, sharp blade sparkled in the faint moonlight.
“The reason I first used a sword was ‘life.’ I literally picked up a sword to survive. It’s a bit funny, but this wizard’s magic skills are terrible. So, I heard the sword because I wanted to live, and thanks to it, I am alive like this.”
I put Galakshur in and asked again.
“What made you take up the sword? Just because of the family name? Even so, what is the driving force behind you not giving up until now? “What does a sword mean to you guys?”
“Does that matter now?”
“uh. It’s very important. You don’t mean to say that you swing your sword without thinking, right? “If that’s the case, it’s no different from a monster holding a sword, not a swordsman.”
I pointed at the two with cold eyes.
“You lost to me, the wizard, with a sword. I didn’t use magic once today. “I only dealt with him with a sword.”
“… … .”
“If you are embarrassed, throw away your pride. Think about what you can do to beat me. Of course, Chris, you should do the opposite and clear your mind. That’s the Yunor family’s sword method? “The deceased, His Excellency Junor, will hold you back.”
“this… … Phew.”
For a moment, it looked like he was going to swear, but he seemed to think he was embarrassed.
I literally lost to a wizard with a sword, so what can I say?
“Don’t look for the answer right now, think about it for a few days. Once you’ve thought about it and found the answer, take direction based on that. Isn’t the sword your life itself? If the time comes when you can tell me the answer, then try again. I’ll take it anytime. “Today’s sparring ends.”
If you just tell me this much, they will figure it out on their own.
I don’t think I said much, but I said the main point.
‘Serena must stop being proud and find her strengths and develop them, and Chris must empty his thoughts and return to his original intention to relearn the Yunor sword technique.’
Of course, if there is no progress despite this, I can step forward again.
I’ll give you advice no matter how many times. I know the path they have to take anyway.
I returned the sparring sword and approached Ivy.
She was looking at us with a rather interested expression.
“Thank you for your time today. “I didn’t have anyone in particular to ask for, so I called the teaching assistant.”
“no. are you okay. Thanks to you, I had a fun time watching it. Anyway, it’s a bit more expensive than I thought? Were you always that good at using a sword?”
“Because I’m a genius. Oh, no. You’re Youngjae. Anyway, let’s go now.”
“You unlucky bastard. okay. go away.”
I just smiled and waved despite Ivy’s insults.
I got involved with playables by chance and I hope this helps.
* * *
Ivy burst into laughter as she watched Adrias leaving.
‘How can there be such bastards?’
From Voloric territory to now.
He always exceeded his expectations.
‘I thought he wasn’t an ordinary guy.’
I never would have guessed that he had that level of skill.
At that level, my sword skills are comparable to Vivian Belocan, the runner-up in this year’s tournament.
The rumor was that she almost beat the winner, Dienne, so I thought it was an exaggeration, but in reality, it turned out to be believable.
‘It’s really unique. ‘It’s the same with his personality and the way he thinks.’
To be honest, what he said to the freshmen a little while ago left a strange lingering effect on Ivy as well.
It was a statement that made him reflect on his own skills, which had stagnated after reaching a certain level.
In fact, most prosecutors would do that.
I just used the sword because all I knew how to do was swing the sword, and I tended to worry less about it.
People breathe, but I don’t think about why I breathe.
‘That’s fun.’
Adrias Cromwell.
He was a strange man who even she, who had little interest in others, couldn’t help but become interested in.
When I look back, it looks like the chicks still can’t escape from the mental attack.
Well, it has to be that way.
Even though the two of them attacked each other, they couldn’t defeat a wizard, especially one who used a sword.
‘Besides, Adrias didn’t even use magic.’
I heard that swords and magic were used simultaneously in the tournament.
Not being able to let him use magic must have been a big shock to them both.
“How long will it be like that? “It’s not my first time losing.”
Finally, when Ivy opened her mouth, Chris and Serena came to their senses and started moving.
Then, naturally, we looked at each other’s faces.
As if he had realized something.
‘Maybe I was giving up.’
It was Serena’s idea.
She learned a great lesson from Adrias’ words.
Pride.
I thought I didn’t fit in with that word.
Actually, those words didn’t suit me.
The reason she wasn’t taking advantage was… … .
‘I was escaping from reality.’
Since when did it start?
From a young age, she mainly used swordsmanship that focused on strength to avoid being defeated by her older brothers, but her obsession with it became worse after coming to Monas and seeing a talented person named Luis.
Now that I see it, it was just a lame self-consolation.
The reason I can’t beat Lewis is because he uses swordsmanship that is disadvantageous to me, not because I’m not good at it.
It was a means of making excuses.
‘Is that what you were thinking…? … .’
I was fed up with my unconscious self.
But this time I definitely realized it.
I need to find my own strengths and become stronger.
At least enough to not be embarrassed by Adrias.
‘I will definitely become stronger and try again.’
okay. No matter what, I can’t live with the shame of losing to a wizard with a sword.
It was Serena who thought so positively.
Chris, seeing Serena like that, raised his palm.
“… … .”
His callused hands were torn.
It was a firm grip that had never hurt me in the past 10 years since I was a child.
‘I have a lot of distracting thoughts on my sword.’
To be honest, I didn’t want to listen to what the wizard Nabulaeng said, but the serious attitude of the person speaking made me worry without realizing it.
‘What did I pick up the sword for? What is a sword to me?’
To me, a sword is.
Family, honor, fame, life, maybe everything in life.
‘Is that so?’
At what point did he forget all that and just follow Lewis?
Why does my sword become a shadow and follow me?
‘Adrias… … It is said that he took up the sword for his life.
Has there ever been a time when a sword was as desperate as life for me?
Of course, his efforts were desperate.
But what direction?
‘Try again. ‘From the beginning.’
Just like the torn grip I had when I first learned how to use a sword.
Chris, who resolved to go back to the beginning, looked in the direction where Adrias had disappeared.
“I will definitely try again. Senior Adrias.”
