Sword Whisperer

You're not messing with people with their fingernails, are you? ''

".... Why do you always come out so defensively with such good skills? Isn't he a man? ''

Zeo said in a dissatisfied voice. From one day on, the fight against Van has always been like this. Zeo runs, Van avoids. So much for avoiding it, with no movement.

It was a fight I didn't like as a Zeo. He liked something a little hotter. It was better to lose with a wound penetration than to win without a wound.

I grabbed my fist. When the fingernail inside my finger grew up again, it seemed fine when it broke. Shining nails of the same color as steel, Zeo reveals them.

”Let's hit one ship. Van.”

”Come on.”

It was the moment Van finished talking. Zeo laughed and hit the ground. The ground moved as if it were pushing each step of Zeo, and the wind blew along his back.

Eustein is loved by the world. What you say in Saigan is compelling.

But if Eustein is loved by the world, Van is loved by Carl.

Zeo's hand with his nails up shoots in the wind. In the energy of each nail, even the temper of steel. Not to mention, the human body was a horrible attack that seemed to be shattered with a knife.

But I'm not afraid.

'Five and a half swords.' Half of them did not carry or carry five swords. Of course, I didn't carry just one sack. A bag of longswords and a bag of dagger, including a hallucinogram of glass. That's three sacks in total.

Nevertheless, he was called the Five Swords.

What's wrong?

His sword had five characteristics.

First sword. Spill.

Raise the hallucinogram. A short, slender day draws a line in the air. Select a line that will not be erased. It's a line that doesn't stand still. A line that bounces, guides, spills everything.

There was a noiseless fight. Zeo's attack must have been bitter, and his fingernails were bigger than half the hallucinogens.

Zeo swings his fist a few times. Sometimes with the nails, sometimes with the back of the hand. Sometimes with teeth. But none of his attacks crossed the line drawn by half the hallucinogens.

In the end, the results were the same as at any time. Zeo, who couldn't stand the tickling workshop, roared and ran overboard, and immediately he rolled over the ground in a half-kick.

”You try so fast all the time. ”

"…… you are too discreet."

"That way, you win. ”

After a retreat two years ago, Van's combat style certainly turned to defensive. No, it would be better to say it turned out to be reasonable.

Looking around the hills, the freshmen looked at them as if they were still unadapted. Even so, the ground was shattered and the air torn apart, so they seemed like completely different creatures.

'.... I didn't chase one of Hay's blade tips properly before. ’

And it was then. The tiger said he'd show up if he told me. A sudden applause came and turned his head, and Hee looked at them with a smile.

"Awesome. I'm sure the Knight Training will be fine."

"..... Hey Sunbae? When did you come back?"

It's been a while. Yesterday's mission report is on its way back. It was a graduation assignment. ”

”Graduate assignment? So……"

"Yes. ''

Hay laughed.

"I'm graduating now. ”

At the end of the day, half of the students, as well as others beside them, shed their resilience. The low graduation rate of the Citadel Academy was also attributed to some of the weary who competed with the best elites in the world, but the knight-training process that had to go through in fourth grade was greater.

Tasks from all sorts of knights.

Subjugation, purification, assassination. Anything that might require force could have been a mission. The professors said, no matter what kind of mission he's on here, he can roughly guess what kind of knight he'll be.

And after nine such missions, it was graduation. Hay laughed and said,

"You don't have to worry about her, though. It would be brilliant to get a mission. 'Five and a half swords' will spoil the knights or families you want to use."

"…… why do you have to emphasize that nickname? Are you trying to make fun of me? ''

"Oh, I see. ’ '

Hay shrugs while smiling loudly. He knocked on Van's shoulder and said,

”Work hard for a year. I'll go first."

"…… graduation mission, did you get it from the Royal Knights? ”

It was a kind of illiteracy. A graduation mission, that is, a final mission, is received from the organization to which it belongs. That means..... Hay will be a member of the Royal Knights soon.

Hay laughed speechlessly.

”Two years ago, you weren't the only one who was angry there. ”

Everyone has a reason to be strong. After all, I didn't go beyond the monsters until the end, but..... Hay looks at Van. Strongest in third grade. How many years have you been called the strongest person in the ninth grade who isn't part of the ninth grade?

"Proud."

”Don't pinch the ball. I'm holding that knife. ”

"Hey, this is what we're gonna do to you now? ''

"........."

Van fixes the hallucinogens without saying anything. I didn't say anything, but it was the moment when many words were conveyed. Hay's at the mouth.

I smiled and picked up the knife. I remember he used to use a knife that was about the size of a shortsword, but now he has a dagger like the palm of his hand.

Nevertheless, intimidation adds more pressure than before. The size of Hay was approximated. Without a blessing from the family, how hard it must have been for him to grow up here....

'Honestly, I admire you. Senior.'

So I want to go further. I want to stammer more. The gap between him and Hay, who didn't even see the knife, is how narrow it is now.

And Hay found out his mind. I wanted to see if he had a ridiculous look for a while while while while while he was in combat, and soon he put a smile on his mouth that he couldn't hide his excitement.

The spectators are students. More than a dozen eyes are on them.

Who the hell will move first?

Hey, Van.

By the time the question became moaning, someone bled out of resilience.

At some point, Hay was past Van. Even the dizzy ones realized that Hay had moved, only after his shadow had disappeared. Cattle

The chaotic spectators passed by. What happened, who won.

And at that time, the young lady murmured.

"You're bleeding."

”Senior. What does that mean……"

It was the moment when the newcomer had just asked the young lady a question. The dust soars like a storm right next to Van, and numerous traces of stunt are engraved behind him. Hay slowly looks back and raises his mouth.

"... You're a real junior. Very good. ’'

His series didn't hit one and a half.

A junior who had not even seen his shadow at one time..... is now trying to swallow everything in his eyes.

Only then can a man who is not yet old realize too many years.

§

Two and a half years didn't make it any different. Everyone grew up in their own way. And sometimes it doesn't just grow, it changes.

"You know you really don't fit in?"

"Then get the hell out."

"…… Look at him say it again. You really shouldn't do that to me. Do you have any friends besides me? You know you're Nahar's only daughter, right? No, it's just not fun. ”

"Oh, fuck off!"

"You're bored, right?"

”I'm not bored."

"I'm bored. So I'm not going."

The young lady twists her legs while smiling. Unlike Anya, it was a long bridge. Anya grinds the woman and grinds her teeth.

"…… I didn't mix words with the sec family. As expected.”

”What do you think? I've already mixed words. Why, you don't want to play with me because you come alone without a peninsula? ”

"Khh, hick!"

The moment Anya lifted her back while lying down, she felt her strength loosened. I lifted the slowly falling counterweight with one hand, with my arms trembling. It was hard to lift a carriage like McDead with one hand, but in front of the Seconds, it wasn't just an ordinary ghost.

”Why don't you try to grow your strength together? All you have to do is burn it down with no power. ’ '

"…… If you can raise it, you better raise it. ”

"Yes." If the turtles run hard, they can defeat the rabbit. Maybe they'll be stronger than me. ”

Of course, it was a voice I didn't think at all. The spirit smiled and asked again like a bad boy.

”What do you think? I need to see you try this hard. ”

"…… why do you keep talking about Van!"

"No, can't you come out? He's a classmate."

”That's not what I'm talking about!"

Anya grinds her teeth. I wasn't drunk enough to tell the young lady the story. I just took out half the story I had with the retreat as it really was, and the young lady started to tease me because she felt like a princess and a warrior who had been in danger ever since.

'"Why are you shut up, Senior.’ Was it? Half of him. Anyway, I'm doing all the talking on my own. ”

"…… why are you keeping your mouth shut, Senior. It was."

"Oh, it's half the order. You remember well."

”No, that's not it! Hey, I don't like him! He's just a friend! Just encouraging each other, huh? ''

”You'd better try, though. ”

She did not even pretend to listen to Anya. When she saw Anya trying to close her ears with a horny expression, she said.

"We're in fourth grade now. Everyone will be on a mission and will go everywhere. To the south, to each other, east. Maybe we'll go north. Of course, it won't happen if you go dizzy..."

"… so?"

”Make sure. I don't want to see our whites whining later. ”

"Don't call me white, you son of a..."

Even though she grumbled, Anya's voice now sank quite a bit. I don't know why you're talking about this all of a sudden, but I think it's something else.

'..... It's not like it's a relationship.'

That childish thing I dreamed of when I saw a novel at home. She came now and boasted that I was quite different. Most of all, someone who trains like this..... will be quite rare in the family, to be honest. I wanted to be a grown-up now.

Of course, he's still a little tall.

"When you're in fourth grade, ask Joe to squeeze it together. Even if you're a friend, it wouldn't hurt to hang out with someone close to you, would it? Or should I tell you? You and me and Van..... I think you can graduate the best grades ever. ”

She said, "At first, I was not going to say anything more because of the rebuttal psychology, but it seemed like a pretty bad offer over time.

'No, I'm good. I haven't finished third grade yet, but what are you already...'

But shortly afterwards, she realized that there was nothing too early in the world.

"…… what is this? ''

In front of the break room, there was a crowd of juniors in third grade stealing somewhere. Zeo looks back at the spirit. His face was filled with trembling.

".. are you here? ''

”Why are you all doing this? What's going on?”

"Look over there. ”

He glances at you, unable to hide a slight gloomy hue. It was Van. In the office on one side of the break room, I saw Van talking to someone. Though he wondered why that was happening, Zeo opened his mouth for a moment.

"The Royal Knights came to see Van in person. ”

"…… the Royal Knights? ''

It was uncommon. No matter how many academy students, the nobles of the Royal Knights must come all the way here and have a conversation....

However, in Zeo's words, Anya was forced to open her mouth without even thinking about it.

”That too," said the deputy commander himself. ”
