Sword Whisperer

Half of Seventeen Families (2)

When I first took the exam, my goal was one and a half. Winning this exam to tell me his name. So I think we're one step closer to his dream.

But after taking the final exam, Van thought a little differently.

It was instinctively enlightened. Given how long he wants to walk, even calling this a turning point is a disappointment.

"Argh...!"

'Weak.’

Half thought as he looked at the opponent falling under the stadium with his arm cut off.

Maybe his standards are too high. In the early family, he had been struck by the sword several times by clans, including the early age. However, given that they are one of the nine highest lagging gates in the world and symbolize 'power' among them……, the people here must seem too weak.

'How will they see it? This fight is over.'

Whenever he wins a battle, the cheer of the crowd gives him a sweet fantasy. Even the king and his nobles are shouting at him from behind that splendid golden pillar.

It was an absurdly optimistic illusion.

'Not enough. Not enough.'

I even knew it right away. What a real knight's fight. Despite the strife I saw in the early family, Uyung was fighting the rebels in the forest.... It wasn't this dimension.

Overwhelming enough to want to be the same person.

The power to make strategies and tactics meaningless.

I don't know what the other Great Gates are capable of, but their battle will not be as great as this.

So Van couldn't seem to be just as excited. There's a long way to go. With a simple entertainment level of combat, I couldn't outrun what would be a great prosecutor.

As of today, the 32 Rituals are over. There were only four early family martial artists on the main line, reaching the top 16. Van, Hezleck, Lee Kyung, and Yule, the red dot.

Then, Van's next opponent had to be Hezleck, who was naturally the same group.

"..... No luck."

That night. In the bar where all the early family warriors gathered, Hezlek sighed. One of the many opponents to meet Van in class 16 is something else. If you didn't stop, you could have survived up to the fourth grade.

"Cheer up, Senior."

Yussel tore Hezleck's shoulders. It was foolish to get up from the youngest, but Hezleck didn't even feel like lamenting. What to do. What he lacks.

I couldn't blame only talent. None of them knew. Half of them spent the most time swordsmanship.

Van deserved his strength now.

'But you can't easily lose. ’

Hezlek opens his eyes. Hezleck was not good at fun for Van. But the battle cannot be the same. If you try to kill me, even if it's half....

"Uh, you guys. Are you the warriors of the early family in the tournament?"

"Yes, only so. ”

"Hey, you guys have seen the game. They're all flying very fast. Especially..... who is that Van friend? I can't see my face well in the Colosseum……"

"I've been here before..... but I think I left for a while. ”

'Is that so?' Oh, I love it today, whether it's meat or drink. Thanks to you guys, I had some fun! ’ '

When I said that, it seemed like I was gambling in my pocket. It was the moment I opened my mouth to speculate that I had become Hezleck.

"Yeah? Let's have a good meal then."

I heard a grave voice somewhere playful. As soon as he heard the voice, Hezlek stood up in a panicked position. It was a young woman.

"Oh, my lady. How can you be here?"

”I'm here to play for a while. I think they're all dying here. What about Van? ''

"…… I don't know."

It was no surprise to find Van as soon as the spirit appeared. She liked Van pretty much. No, actually, the early clans liked Van when they went dizzy. For those who adore the power, half the sword in their head has no choice but to be quite the slain friend.

It's like everybody else in the world. Sometimes. ’

Not only the Seconds, but the Band did. I stand in the same position and look somewhere else. It is not a matter of strength. From the moment something was born, as if it was determined that the place would be so different....

"Hezlek. Do you want to go out? ''

”Yes, yes? ''

"Look for Van. I've come all the way, but I need to see your face. ''

To be honest, finding Van wasn't that hard. If he wants to disappear without saying anything at any point, you just have to find a place to swing the sword.

It wasn't any different this time. The backyard. Van is practicing second-generation swordsmanship while holding the Longsword.

I don't know how focused they are, but they came in a color they didn't even notice. She mutters with a strange expression with arms.

”As perfect as a sword. ”

Even within the Seconds, there were few who spoke the perfect swordsmanship.

Van, can you win? ''

The Emperor asked. As a prosecutor and as a man, it would be the right answer to show confidence at this time..... but Hezlek couldn't answer easily. The young lady understood Hezlek like that.

It'll feel like there's no gap. "

".. to be honest, yes. ''

'' I had to. Even I can't find a gap when I'm dealing with Van right now. Can I give you a tip? ''

"Tip? ''

"Don't look for any gaps."

The young lady smiled.

"Then there will be a gap."

"…… that sounds like a mystery."

"You'll see when you compete. ”

"But why are you giving me advice? The Empress is more supportive of Van than I am..."

"What? Why me? I'm just on our side, aren't I? I'm not listening to anyone! ’ '

Oh, yeah. Of course. Hezleck looks at Van, swallowing his unspeakable words. It's still a sword that looks perfect. If you give up the gap, you'll see the gap?

'.... You can win, right?'

§

She's new. No hair, no eyebrows, no eyes, no skin. Even the clothes he was wearing were white. No one from the village was forced to think of Nahar as one of the nine great gates.

Nahar, no. It was her name.

Do I have to see this? ''

And she was pretty heartbroken right now.

It was a sunny day. On a day like this, it's best to go out to the park and pick up grapes and watch the bloody battle in this sweaty Colosseum.

But she smiled and pinched Anya's cheek.

'' Don't do that too much. My family's kids are coming out. ''

"It's not my family, it's yours. ”

Do you really want to be like that? ”

"I'm not the person I used to be, but I'm all that's left. And it always bothers me when I'm around. Just like you do now."

"Heh, no, it's cute. ''

"…… I'm not cute. ”

Anya looks down at the stadium as if she doesn't even want to deal with it. Before attending the academy, my sisters and brothers flocked together and said, 'Don't play with the early family children. They're puppy seeds.' Because I wanted to know why I didn't like it.... I didn't think that dog was such a puppy.

"Oh, they are! They!"

At that time, she stood up and raised her voice. Other academy students around here looked at them and nodded their heads as if they knew what they were wearing.

In many ways, Anya was the kind of person who didn't want to be around the most. But the spirit shook Anya's shoulder, indifferently.

"You see him over there? He's the Hezleck, the other half! ”

".. yes."

”Hezleck is, um..... a good guy, and Van is very strong. I can barely win a tournament, can I? ''

"You can't win? ''

At that time, I was forced to open Anya's eyes, which were half closed. Even if it was like a penny by the side, it was still the daughter of the early family. It was also the blood of the household.

You're dealing with someone who's not even part of the big question?

"You must be a genius.”

”Genius.”

After Anya spits, she nods. Honestly, she wanted to know if it wasn't for the blood of the early family. Had it not been for her overwhelming physical abilities, Van's black body would have cut her off before she even responded to something.

"So, who are you cheering for? The genius or the non-genius? ”

It was an obvious title that I had already forgotten my name. The young woman replied indifferently.

”The weaker one? ”

"…… hmm, yeah? ''

Anya twitched her chin with a frivolous expression. And then I realized that there were more students around the academy than I thought. It would be natural to have an academy student seat, but given that, there was not too much vacancy. This festival would not have been so popular with the students....

Even the royal seat was the same. It wasn't just a matter of setting up a few people to make a pretext. On one side, even the elites of the Royal Knights were seen. If you think about who those elites will escort....

'.... this contest is getting attention?'

What's wrong?

That question did not last long.

When the sound of the trumpet sounded, the contest began, and people's cheers began to resonate, Anya forgot a part of the picnic that had gone unnoticed.

"…… it's crazy."

Van thought cheering to him was just an ordinary crowd.

Those who knew the real power would not give him sight.

Wrong.

The Great Family. The Royal Knights. The elites of the Academy. The royal family.

I was looking at him.
