chapter 11
11. I tolerate it until number 2.
From the time I went to the clearing, I quickly noticed that there were bugs on the roadside.
The eyes of Charles, who had been defeated in a duel, must have been just wanting to jump right in and stab him in the back.
Without much research needed, I knew right away that Charles was up to something. He didn’t really want to hide it, because he said it all over the place.
“Seymour went down the opposite way. It won’t come this way.”
Bewildered by the sparring, River Seymour went down the other side.
It will take a little longer, but at River’s speed, she would have reached the dormitory in no time.
“Mr.. What a surprise, you’re a dwarf, aren’t there dwarfs living in the academy?”
“Because all kinds of creatures live in the deep forest… Or are you working at the academy?”
Toduk
When these scumbags pointed at me and mentioned my kidneys, blood vessels appeared on my head.
Little people?
You don’t even see me as a person anymore?
‘Once.’
It was very unpleasant, but it was tolerable up to this point.
A stack was engraved in my mind.
“Hey, you bastards who aren’t even as good as these beasts, do you come rushing in because you feel unfair about losing a one-on-one match? Are you selling inside?”
“Ha..!! If I had to stick with my real skills, there’s no way this body would be beaten.. That bitch wrote a foul! Therefore, the duel is invalid, and I am asking for a legitimate re-duel.”
“What foul? Is it against the law to move faster than you and attack sharper than you? If you lose, you will feel embarrassed and wield your sword more.”
“A dwarf who can’t even wield a long sword properly makes fun of what a duel between knights knows!”
‘Twice.’
Okay, you can still watch it.
But if you do it one more time, I’ll kill you.
Still, since they are descendants of the same family, it should be enough to beat River so that he doesn’t think strangely again.
At this level, it won’t turn into such a big deal.
However, Charles was a man who did not know that his life was more valuable than he thought.
“Hey dwarf, you know who I am”
‘Three times.’
-False profit
When I came to my senses, I saw that my fist was stuck in Charles’ face.
“Quaaa!!!”
Charles fell backwards with his face crushed by my fist, fired like a cannon ball.
“Muh.. What are you doing!!!”
His face, which was quite manageable, had a broken nose and blood dripping from his face.
“I can’t do it, you guys..”
There was a sound in my head as if something was being cut off.
I thought I was holding up pretty well, but now it’s impossible.
“Just die.”
——————————————-
Atlas back then will take care of things like cleaning up.
First of all, let’s educate those spoiled bastards.
Right now, only those thoughts filled my head.
“A cowardly surprise attack…!”
Charles didn’t even think to hit the bridge of his bloody nose right away.
“You guys catch that guy first!!”
“Ah, I don’t like men.”
“Is it time to say that!!”
As the assailant standing awkwardly next to Charles, Eddie, who was also a freshman for the letter of recommendation, drew his sword, a soft light hovered over the blade.
A skill that strengthens the sword by overlaying mana on it.. It is the Aura Blade.
He also had the skills of an introductory sword expert who received an A in practical skills.
As he had a close relationship with Charles’s family, he thought of this request as just something to play with.
“It’s not a skill I learned to use against dwarfs, but… “
As if to show off his aura blade, he cut down the tree next to him, and the thick oak tree was cut down at once.
“It’s as good as one arm..!”
A powerful aura blade that cuts through logs like butter is swung towards Atlas.
Even if you defend, unless it’s the same aura blade, you’ll be cut off with your defenses.
Even though such an attack was directed at himself, Atlas simply pointed his long sword at the ground, just as he did in sparring, and just waited for it to reach his range.
It was like a snake looking for prey.
And as soon as his hand holding the aura blade invaded his ‘territory’, Atlas swiftly raised his longsword.
Something rises in the air.
The person watching didn’t know if it was Atlas’ flesh or the stranger’s.
As a piece of flesh briefly floated in the air and rolled around in the fallen leaves, the owner of it was revealed.
“Ugh… Aww!! My my wrist!!!”
“Yeah, I’ll do it for an arm too.”
The identity of the flesh that flew through the air was Eddie’s wrist holding the sword.
Eddy’s wrist, which was holding the sword tightly, rolled through the fallen leaves.
The faintly shining blade of the lost Aura Blade no longer shone.
Eddie knew how to create an aura blade, but he was a beginner in technology.
Atlas didn’t use anything like an aura blade.
What you just did is a very simple technique.
Psychological warfare that any decent knight would do… I never thought that someone who could use Aura Blade would be defeated with only one skill like this.
The family must have fed a lot of good things to the body and forced them to use it.
“Why are guys like you so arrogant and rude with such skills? Is it because you are tall?”
“Surround!! Stabbed from all sides..!!”
Charles exclaimed urgently as Eddie lost his wrist and rolled on the ground.
The most important thing for many in 1-to-1 is to attack from all sides so that you don’t end up with multiple 1-on-1 situations.
Perhaps they have already been harassed as a group several times, the surrounding speed was extraordinary.
But it didn’t work out.
Atlas was faster than they could close the siege and attack.
After charging forward and swinging the longsword once, the assailant fell, cutting his thigh.
The assailant, who was about to lower the ax from behind Atlas, swung his long sword once, and several of his fingers were scattered in the air.
After that, the assailant rushes in with a short sword along with a small fireball.
The fireball was as slow as a catapult thrown by a child, so I slightly twisted my head to avoid it, blocked the assailant’s sword path with a cross guard, and swung it straight through, slashing his shoulder.
The assailant who fired the magic fired another fireball, but right in front of his nose, right? He swung his longsword wide and the right hand of the guy who was casting the magic was cut into two pieces.
When I came to my senses, the only thing standing there was Atlas.
“What.. What is it… I know you’ll be fine even if you do this!!!”
Charles crouched down and crawled backwards, shouting at Atlas.
There are 6 people including the first sword expert.
The number of students who received an academy’s grade A or higher was a number that could be easily buried.
But why did this happen?
“What, is it over already? “
“Ugh… ugh… “
“My…My hand… My hand… “
“The blood… I won’t stop… “
Once per person,
After only 6 bites, all of them became larvae and were crawling on the ground.
Everyone held their wounds and stopped the bleeding, but no one died.
Atlas has entered the realm of masters, if nothing else, but enough to not die.
If you write those techniques into a thesis, you might even get a Ph.D.
“Then I have to do what I always do.”
After talking to himself as if informing the lying assailants, Atlas started working with a long sword.
Around that time, even the 6 caterpillars crawling on the ground could see Atlas’s pupils, which were out of focus.
The Atlas from when I first saw it and the Atlas from now have a distinctly different atmosphere.
“Won’t you all know this feeling when you grow to my height? I made this longsword the same length as my height… “
The tip of the sword touched my ankle.
As if measuring building materials, Atlas measured Charles’ ‘length’ with a long sword.
Measuring Charles’ length with the handle on his head and the tip of his sword pointing at his ankle, Atlas made a small cut with his long sword near his ankle with the tip of his sword pointing.
Like a mark when cutting wood.
And he raised his long sword.
“Here. Remember, everyone, from now on, your feet will start here.”
“What??”
-Seoguk
“
Charles’ screams echoed through the foothills.
Something rolled down in front of the eyes of the remaining five caterpillars.
-Degur
What they could see was the shoes.
But the ankle was visible on the shoe.
It was Charles’ severed ankle.
“Hey hee hee profit?!”
“The boys are making a lot of noise about this.”
“Please.. Please stop!! Today.. Nothing happened so please..!! Help me!!”
As if their screams were annoying, Atlas said calmly.
His face was stained with blood from Charles’ ankle.
“People don’t die from things like this,
Don’t worry, I’m kind and will bring you back to life even if I die.
Despite the fact that a loser doesn’t have human rights.”
The blood drains from the faces of the assailants.
I’m afraid.
Obviously, when I first saw it, I was still able to talk, but now, those dwarf people can’t communicate.
They saw the bloody longsword coming toward them, but they couldn’t escape.
Five more screams echoed at the foot of the mountain at sunset.
——————————————
Since the academy is located on an island, all staff and students have accommodations within the school.
Students live in dormitories, but faculty and staff also stay in individual accommodations throughout the academy grounds, and Andy was lucky to have individual accommodations.
Since she took her vacant position right after the former professor left, she was able to use the professor’s dormitory.
The former professor must have been quite a skilled knight, and there were traces of him handling various weapons all over the dorm.
“After… Today somehow went well… “
Andy, who finished the day wearing comfortable clothes, turned blue.
I made a loud noise in the morning, but no matter how much I think about it, the training of the Imperial Knights is not something that students can receive.
I need to lose weight right now from next week, but what should I do… It was a time when he was sitting and contemplating.
-Kung kung kung
Someone knocked on the door.
Who the hell is it in the middle of the night? I hope it’s not annoying.
Thought so, I opened the door, but no one was in sight.
“Senior, if you don’t want to be left behind, lower your head first.. Don’t panic and listen carefully.”
When he lowered his head a little further, Atlas, covered in blood all over his body, was waving at him.
“aaa!!!! What… What is what!!! Why is it so bloody that it appears!!!”
