Geomje reincarnated as a swordsmith (26)
Changes occur that all apprentice knights who come to the Galapagos Islands are bound to notice at least once.
All those active on this island were geniuses, or at least talented people who were treated as talents. Whether it was swordsmanship or mana training, I was praised for my achievements several times faster than children my age, and it was not unreasonable to think that this was natural.
however.
-Haven’t I been treated so well lately?
When I think about it again, since I came to Galapagos, I have never received praise or achieved superior results compared to anyone else.
If it is natural, then it is also natural.
If you mix talented people with untalented people, the talented few will stand out, but if they are all geniuses or talented people, it will seem like there is nothing special about them.
This reality, in which they, who had always been special, were treated as ordinary, was the driving force that made the children break down.
The trio of four-year apprentice knights was no exception.
“oh! It’s Hayden! I already wanted to give you some encouragement whenever I run into you, but it worked out well. My skills have improved a lot in the time I haven’t seen you! “If we continue to grow like we are now, the Golden Dragon Knights will not be a dream!”
Surely that wasn’t the exception?
“Uh, no, ah, thank you?”
“ha ha ha! He’s always been showing off, but when you actually compliment him, look how he reacts! “Don’t push yourself too hard!”
“Soo, good luck… .”
Hayden looked literally dumbfounded and saluted the departing driver helplessly.
It had to be that way.
Not only did they suddenly recognize him and catch him, but they even mentioned joining the Golden Dragon Knights, which all knights of the Cardenas family can’t help but admire!
It would be rare for someone to be able to say this even with empty words.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Sure enough, as soon as Hayden turned around, his friends, who had been staring at him blankly, rushed towards him.
“Hayden! “You bastard, what on earth are you doing?”
“You just took the elixir on our own, right? “I don’t know where it came from, but if you blow on it obediently, I will spare your life!”
Ian grabs him by the collar and shakes him, and Gail ties his legs with twine and pulls him off.
In the meantime, he was able to resist at least once, but Hayden, who was completely lost, fell down while still trapped. Rather than joy, confusion arising from questions about this situation consumed him.
Ian and Gail were confused when they saw Hayden’s condition.
“Ian, is this really going to taste good?”
“Don’t you have the color of my eyes? Even at first glance, it looks like that. “There’s no way your acting skills have improved to the point where this idiot fooled me, and I don’t think he really understands it himself.”
“You mistook someone else for Hayden and praised him? “Is that possible?”
“No… Probably not. “Because they are people too.”
Ian answered the question with an expression of disbelief even though he said it with his own mouth.
Cardenas is a family of knights that can dare to be said to be the best in the world, and all knights ordained there are the elite of the elite. Like them, it was very unlikely that an intermediate knight would make a mistake, as he was not an apprentice knight whose training period was no different.
The knight ranks were divided into four levels.
Page (apprentice engineer).
Squire (Junior Knight).
Bachelor (intermediate engineer).
Banneret (Senior Knight).
From then on, superior and subordinate relationships are distinguished based on the position, status, or title of the unit, such as knight commander or vice-captain.
‘If we train for a few more years and are ordained, we can become Squires, and after that, we can become Bachelors after moving around the front lines and achieving achievements that are recognized by the family. Are they looking at people wrong? Not anywhere else, but on this island?’
Ian furrowed his eyebrows and thought for a moment.
It was then.
“Oh oh! It’s you, Ian! Even though it’s only been 4 years, it’s really amazing! I was anxious about walking around alone, so I watched for a while, but I was worried for no reason. Continue to grow like this and become a source of pride for our Cardenas family!”
“Oh, uh, you understand, right?”
“I can’t believe someone who can walk around with a heavy burden on his shoulders is so humble! Your personality is good too! No matter which knight order you join, you’re the type of person the seniors will like! cheer up!”
Just like the other knight had done to Hayden earlier, he grabbed Ian, praised him, and then disappeared.
When he looked to the side with a mesmerized face like Hayden, he saw Gail looking at him with an expression as if she had been cruelly betrayed.
Ian had to make an excuse even though he knew it wouldn’t work.
“I think the seniors were mistaken.”
“shut up! “You traitorous bastards!”
Ian, who was tightly bound by Gail’s hands with his eyes wide open, fell down and was lying on the white sand with Hayden who fell next to him.
The eyes that couldn’t accept reality looked like dead fish.
“Tell me everything honestly! Since when have we been deceiving and hiding things from each other?! ok?!”
As Gail scolded the two in an angry voice, Ian and Hayden looked up at him and explained.
“… “You crazy guy, we’ve been together all the time, so there’s no time for us to act separately.”
“… There were a few seniors who looked similar to us, but I think their hair styles and clothes have become similar recently.”
Both statements made sense.
Gail, who was confused, knew that what she said was right, but she felt isolated from the attention of her seniors.
So, out of anger, he started dragging the two people away.
“evil! Let go of the rope first, you bastard! “I’m getting my back scratched!”
“Sand gets in your mouth and nose! Gail, this idiot is real! “If there’s even a tinkering on my head, I’ll kill you!”
In the end, the two used their mana to cut the rope, and immediately caught Gale, who tried to run away, and beat him up.
Our skills were similar, but since it was 2-1, there was no way we could be opponents.
“… betrayer… They… .”
Ian and Hayden just snorted as they looked down at him, who had instantly turned into a mop.
“Noisy.”
“You should wake up quickly. “I have to go see Leonard.”
“Grunt,” said Gale, who stood up.

“Are you going today too? “I don’t think I go see it too often.”
“Even the seniors don’t say anything. “It’s okay if you just take care of it, I guess.”
“You may not know that we are also benefiting.”
When we moved on to talking about Leonard, Hayden spoke passionately, unable to even hide his excitement.
“That guy is a sword genius! “I can’t help but wonder why Director Fabian even wrote a letter of recommendation.”
Ian and Gail also nodded as if they agreed with that statement.
The reason the three of them began interacting with Leonard was because he requested it, having surpassed the 5th level of soft body mirror in about four months.
The relationship that started from there has already been over two months.
The trio had no doubt that the groceries they had secretly given would have played a role in lowering their guard. And I had no idea that I would be learning something from a child who had just reached the 5th level of Yan Chejing and that I would be so stimulated by it.
“If I seal the ability of the External Power Mirror and limit the amount of mana to a level similar to Leonard’s… “You will never win.”
“Martial arts are on a different level. All my attacks are read or dodged, and I have no idea where his attacks are coming from. That’s 14 years old? “If he had been the same age, he might have hung himself.”
The sparring started with what Leonard said, but the trio gained much more.
That was why the three of them, who thought that the state of mana practice was strength, began to seriously practice sword training.
The number of cores and the level of mana training were ultimately just output.
If you fall far behind in the realm of martial arts, you are no different from an animal hunted in vain by human technology.
‘For some reason, it seems like they care more about these guys than me… .’
Gail thought that maybe this was because of her mood, but just scratched the back of her head and hurried away.
He, too, was looking forward to spending time with Leonard.
The physical ability of the 2nd level of External Power Sutra was truly outstanding, and the three arrived at Leonard’s residence not long after.
“Are you here?”
Leonard must have been right on time for them to arrive, and was polishing his sword as if he had just returned from
Hayden said with a big smile on his face.
“Looks like you did well today! “How many did you catch?”
“There were just over 50 hobgoblins. “I think I earned about 60 from Yawning Spirit Stones.”
“It’s okay. If you earn it faithfully that way, you won’t have any problems until you reach the outer power level. “If it’s a daily necessity, we can get it cheaper, so don’t just buy it with spirit stones.”
“Yes,” Leonard agreed, then laughed inwardly.
‘I only taught him some basic tricks, but he was completely hooked. Well, it’s good to have enough desire to improve.’
Although it was done as a reward for exploiting them in their image, it also had its own income.
Bradley said that you can only learn full-fledged sword techniques after reaching the 10th level of Yeonchegyeong, but for Leonard, who had a rough idea of the martial arts of this world, just seeing them in sparring with the trio was enough.
It is different from martial arts, which starts with a beginning (有招), destroys the form, and rebuilds it again and again to reach the beginning (無招).
‘A martial art that is learned from the beginning in a form close to Mucho. There were some parts that were similar to the Seventy-Two Blades that I saw in the Cheongseong Sect.’
The Seventy-Two Blades, a sword technique that freely combines 72 basic sword techniques that can be used in various situations, was one of the tax-defying martial arts that even the sword emperor Yeon Moo-hyeok was greatly impressed by.
Herbivores, which are reconstructed in endless combinations from 2 to 72, are infinitely close to being intangible.
‘The problem was that the difficulty of the swordsmanship was too high.’
As you can tell by just listening to the words, the Seventy-Two Swordsmen were famous for their martial arts skills that made it difficult for even a genius-level genius to surpass the 7-star barrier, let alone the 10-star level.
The reason why the Cheongseong First Sword of the time was only at its peak was because the swordsmanship was so difficult that he was unable to demonstrate his skills in actual combat.
Yeon Moo-hyeok competed with him once and was impressed, but he also thought he would never learn or use it.
“Hehehe! “Keuhum!”
“Oh, sorry.”
While he was lost in his thoughts for a moment, the trio, including Hayden, were looking at him with their eyes wide open.
He couldn’t speak first for sake of face, and his eyes only wanted Leonard to hurry up.
Leonard laughed inwardly at that sight and pulled out his sword.
‘I can understand the old people who were obsessed with disciples a little.’
When your own martial arts skills are stagnant, it is fun to just watch the person who inherited that martial arts skills progress. I didn’t hate being urged like a baby bird begging for food.
The 4-year group of three went forward without worrying about who would go first, and soon started bickering to decide the order.
The winner was Hayden.
“Ugh! “I am first place!”
“Congratulations.”
Leonard congratulates him in a calm voice and points his sword, and Hayden’s body stiffens as the excitement subsides.
As someone who wields a sword, it is a gap that cannot help but be known.
You can even see the illusion of your head being blown off in an instant.
“Ha, haha, yes, this is it.”
Nevertheless, without giving up his fighting spirit, Hayden suppressed his mana with all his might and raised his sword.
The difference between external force mirror and soft body mirror is large.
This is a condition in which you must compete solely with the capabilities of your sword.
“Goes.”
“You can come anytime.”
Unlike Hayden, whose concentration is sharpened like a blade, Leonard’s gaze and posture are empty.
It looks like it can cut down no matter where it goes.
No matter where you hit it, it looks like it will break in two.
No matter how many times he looked at the posture, it was full of flaws, and a ray of cold sweat ran down Hayden’s spine. However, if you don’t go in and keep waiting, it will end the moment you lose concentration.
Hayden’s decision was quick.
Paaaat!
If you don’t know which loophole is real, you don’t care about the loophole and engage in a fight head-on.
Hayden, who brought out his sword in the middle of the attack, was attacked.
