Academy Student With 999 Speed

89 – Awakening, Revenge Match (1)

Chunhwa Yoo?

It was a rather embarrassing appearance for me, who was calculating who was in the top 10 in my mind.

“…… What rank were you last time…?”

“Me? I was 17th.”

17Th place……

Even considering the recent rapid growth, it’s too fast.

“How did you come up…? No matter how much you think about it…”

“Is there any other way? I just played by the rules.”

By the rules.

The promotion match rule is that you can only challenge cadets who are within 3rd place from your maximum ranking…

“You, can’t you…?”

“At first, I just tried to go through 3 steps at a time… But the number of challengers continued to increase…”

“So. I just dealt with each one. It’s an easy story, right?”

“Really…”

“Well. After stepping on it to some extent, it gradually decreased and it was comfortable.”

That’s true.

That’s an eloquent answer.

“So, what’s the ranking now?”

“Fourth place.”

“….. I see.”

Then there is nothing more to argue about.

Anyway, time really seems to have passed quickly.

From the first time I fell to the time I am standing here.

Before you know it, a year has come to an end.

“Come to think of it, when was the last time the two of you fought with all your might?”

“Well, maybe it’s been a while…?”

“Both cadets. Are you ready?”

“Yes.”

“Yes. It’s over.”

Following the instructions of the referee, I moved to my seat to enter the field.

“…….”

Come to think of it, over the past 10 months, I don’t think there was a moment when Yoo Chun-hwa wasn’t by my side.

Even the first meeting.

First duel too.

First friend and colleague.

Even the promotion match at the end of the year.

Am I with her?

Thinking so, I looked at the other side of her and saw Yoo Chun-hwa looking at her side with her two-handed sword tightly gripped.

“Now then, let’s start the promotion match between the current cadet, Kim Ga-sok, and the current cadet, Yoo Chun-hwa, who are in the 4th place. When each cadet is ready, please signal.”

“I’m ready.”

“Yes.”

…….

I was soaked in a cheesy sentiment that didn’t respond for a while.

Right now, that doesn’t matter.

Since it’s a promotion match, this side also has to be sincere.

“From now on… Let’s start!”

Chee Yiing.

At the same time as the start signal, I slowly opened my eyes, feeling the scenery around me change.

Walls surrounding it.

This is an arena where there are no obstacles.

The [Colosseum] Is close to an infinitely round circle.

The other side existed on the other side.

It is a field where only head-to-head matches are possible, with no variables whatsoever.

If it was the same as before, he would have whined about having no luck, but…

Not now.

Because as much as she has grown, I have also grown.

Now…..

Then, where should we stick together?

————————————————————————- —

10 Seconds after the duel begins.

Kim Ga-sok was the first to step out of the field where the tension was suffocating.

He arrived in front of Yoo Chun-hwa in an instant with a speed that can be called speed, and he immediately fired the gauntlet straight ahead.

Then, Yoo Chun-hwa, who has already become accustomed to that blow by training hundreds of times, responds.

Kaaang!

Two metals collided and a metallic sound occurred.

“It’s pretty serious.”

“… Greetings. This is the end.”

“Then…Of course…!”

[Ilseom]

As soon as the gauntlet is shaken off, it is a high-speed blow that immediately lands at the place where Acceleration was standing.

She knows that with this one blow she has polished herself, she can exceed the speed of acceleration.

Then.

“Huh …. I’ve just been bitter.”

The fact that he predicted this too in advance and avoided himself.

They look at each other and start laughing.

We already know each other’s fighting styles very well.

The current fighting style of Yu Chun-hwa was taught by Kim Ga-sok in the past.

And as he learns it, Yoo Chun-hwa already knows how Kim Ga-sok induces enemies.

In other words, you can’t beat each other only in the way you’ve done so far.

So, it was Yoo Chun-hwa who took the second step.

It is impossible to predict the movement of Kim’s acceleration until just before reaching close range.

If that’s the case, I’d rather go forward from this side and narrow the way to move.

“… [One Island]…!!!”

Even as it moves forward, it does not stop attacking.

It’s a skill with a limit on the number of times it can be activated, but it’s better than letting the enemy escape right now.

Before I get tired of wielding the sword, I must finish it quickly.

Kwaaang.

Continued to drive the attack countless times.

Of course, if I’m not attacking, but attacking from my side first, then there’s no reason he can’t dodge my attack because he’s fast.

Blame.

This time he reversed my timing and counterattacked.

Normally, I would have moved to absorb the attack as much as possible.

Paaang.

The attack was allowed as it was.

However, it’s about an attack without acceleration, and a few units can withstand it.

Instead, take the right to attack from this side to the other side.

“……!”

“… Got it…?”

After being hit by a flying fist, I grabbed it with my left hand and then fired a sword strike with my right hand.

Kieying!

Kim Ga-sok managed to block it with the remaining gauntlet in a hurry.

His power was halved because he wielded his two-handed sword with only one hand, but it was still sufficient.

His speed dropped noticeably just by feeding the attack.

Right after that, I shot another flash at him.

It won’t hit right, but it doesn’t matter.

After all, that’s not the purpose.

“Haa… What the hell are you doing right now…”

“…Sueup… Whoa…”

“No way……!”

Yes.

By this point, he must have noticed.

It wasn’t a fight that I fought back, but the reason why I overused my skills and used my skills excessively.

No matter how fast he can go, it definitely takes time to pick up the pace.

Therefore, it not only reduces the radius of action, but also destroys the environment itself that can accelerate.

If you look around now, there will be already smashed floors scattered around in front of you and blocking your path.

“Awesome… [Acceleration]…!”

“Even if I speed up now, it’s too late. This side is already ready. And…”

It’s already within range.

It gathers mana from all over the body to the point where it feels like it’s the last time.

What it contains is the overwhelming power of destruction.

“[One Island – Circular Slash].”

Quaaa!!!

.

.

.

As he swings his sword, a huge shockwave hits.

The floor of the arena is smashed, and a dusty wind blows.

A wave-like sword that flies in all directions at 360 degrees.

It costs a lot of mana and power just to use it, but it boasts just as much power and accuracy.

It is a strategy created to deal with the type of enemy who values speed to thoroughly dig into my weakness.

No matter how fast the speed is, if there is no place to escape, you will only be knocked down by a single blow…

“[Pungwol’s protection].”

“….. I can’t help but fall down… hahahaha.”

“[Acceleration]…!”

Even that seems to have been my mistake.

“Kheuheugh…….!!!”

How the hell?

There was no room to avoid the attack.

I succeeded in landing a clean blow without obstruction.

There was no way he could withstand the attack.

That means…

“….. The thing I just did… Was a bit scary. Really. I thought I was going to die.”

“………”

“Because the strategy was better than I thought… I was rather surprised by this side.”

Only then did I remember.

A movement that avoids the bizarre attack that has been shown since the last time.

It must have the ability to forcibly block or avoid attacks.

I was in a hurry to tie the action in front of my eyes, so I couldn’t even think of it.

“…….Haa…..Haa…”

Even though it’s a duel I’ve prepared this far, is it still not enough?

“So… You must have reached the limit. Stop it at this point…”

“… I haven’t lost yet.”

“Well, I knew you would say that. Then again…”

I haven’t lost yet.

I am shaking, but my arms are still moving. Legs move.

Can wield a sword. Even if you end up collapsing, your life isn’t even in danger.

In a situation like this, giving up first is no different from being a prosecutor.

I haven’t lost yet.

Yet……

“……. You know.”

“I don’t know what you’re trying to say, but let’s finish the duel first…”

“It was nice to be your teammate, and it was nice to be taught by you.”

“……? What the hell is that…”

Yes.

It didn’t matter if I joined as his teammate or if I was being trained by him.

Still, I was weak.

Because there are still too many strong people up there to win.

But.

“But… I guess I can’t lie to myself anymore.”

“………”

“To keep losing any longer. I can’t stand it.”

It’s good to be a friend who can stand by his side.

It’s nice to have a companion who can stand behind his back.

I am happy just to be by his side.

But sometimes I think about it.

I want to go up a little higher, not next to him.

I want to surpass him.

‘I want to win.’

My fighting spirit keeps telling me to move my body until I win.

“It’s not that I didn’t lose… I’m going to win.”

“…….”

“So…”

I win unconditionally.

“[Rachel].”

‘… It’s been quite a while. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t borrow for a while?’

“… Right now, I want to win with all my might.”

‘… Whoops. Yes it is good You have to be prepared for that.’

Let the power of Rachel, my old teacher, slowly dwell in your body.

It’s a technique I haven’t gotten used to yet, so it puts a lot of strain on my body, but it doesn’t matter.

[Sword Spirit – Advent : Rachel]

“hahahaha… ❤”

Although the load that was like pressure permeated my whole body, my mood started to rise.

I’ve been cheating quite a bit, but I guess I’m a fighting maniac with an unavoidable obsession.

I am so happy at this moment.

I want to fight with all my strength in this one duel.

“What is this…”

“Look forward to it. This will be the beginning.”

From now on, the second round.

It’s a start.
