Genius Swordsman In Reverse Game

'I'm tired.'

Baek Seol-hee had been deployed to Pohang, where an S-grade Gate had suddenly exploded.

If it had been a 'raid' on the Gate, there would have been no need for all the instructors to move.

Emperor Lina could have handled and cleared an S-grade Gate on her own.

But this was an explosion, not a raid.

When monsters burst out of the Gate, the workload increased dozens of times.

The monsters were high-level, as they had come from an S-grade Gate, and the damage to civilians was significant.

Lina used her psychokinesis to stabilize the collapsed buildings in the area, hunters from the Hunter Management Bureau were dispatched for rescue operations, and the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, including Baek Seol-hee, worked to exterminate the monsters. Despite their efforts, the tasks seemed to pile up endlessly.

-C, Captain! You're too fast!!

-I, I'm gonna die!?

-Stop whining. You're worse than first-year students.

-But I'm really gonna die!!

-Shut up.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps, who had endured training as terrible as a nightmare, were now crying out in pain under Baek Seol-hee's tight management. But the more they complained, the more fiercely she slashed and slashed at the monsters.

-Keeeeeeeeeeek! Keuk!?

-Th, thank you. Tha─ Huh? Where did she go?

She was in a hurry.

An inexplicable sense of anxiety kept urging her on.

If she didn't go to the test site where the mid-term evaluation was being held right now, she knew that she would regret it later.

Her intuition was telling her so.

So, in the midst of slashing through the monsters, after most of the noticeably dangerous ones had been dealt with.

She went to Lina and said,

-I'll go back to the test site first.

Lina raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

-Are you saying you want to go back?

-Yes, the situation is under control with the execution squad and the Chairman. I think you can handle it.

When Baek Seol-hee said this, she expected a significant level of reprimand. She knew better than anyone how foolish her words were.

It was absurd for the leader of the execution squad to leave in the middle of a mission.

Just because Lina usually treated her casually and comfortably didn't mean that it applied during work.

However.

Lina stared at Baek Seol-hee for a moment and then.

She readily nodded.

-Alright, go ahead. I'll mark the location for you. I'll teleport you to a nearby place.

Baek Seol-hee was a little taken aback by Lina's attitude, but she just nodded.

And now.

Baek Seol-hee clicked her tongue as she witnessed the gruesome scene of slaughter before Jin Yuha.

'I can guess what happened.'

.

.

.

"Your sword is wavering."

A familiar, monotonous voice spoke from behind. I stopped mid-swing of my sword towards the Demons and turned my head abruptly.

"Master…!?"

Originally, Lina, the chairman, was supposed to return to the uninhabited island after the mid-term evaluations were complete. The instructors were also supposed to return with her.

'But she came back in just one day…?'

I looked around for the other instructors or Lina, but they were nowhere to be seen.

I looked at Baek Seol-hee with a dazed expression.

Torn clothes, blood splattered on her face, tired eyes half-closed.

Her usually neat appearance was a mess.

She looked like she had pushed herself to the limit.

"Don't let your emotions control your sword. Didn't I teach you that?"

Tap tap

Tap tap

Baek Seol-hee approached me, running her hand through her hair.

"Emotions are a powerful force. A sword driven by emotions is like an arrow. It may have intense explosive power, but once it's fired, it can't be taken back."

"...."

"Is this battlefield truly worthy of your emotions?"

Baek Seol-hee looked me in the eye and asked in a serious tone.

"...…No."

I shook my head in response.

"Are you that angry?"

"...."

"Hoo, really... They say too much kindness is a disease."

Baek Seol-hee wore an ambiguous expression, a mix of worry and admiration, as she gently stroked my head.

"But you did well. Thanks to you, despite the emergence of the Demons, a major incident, no one had to die. All of this was made possible by you. Be proud."

"...…Yes."

Just then.

"Hey, Master! Yeah! Then you must be the instructor at that Academy!!! Then stop that crazy bastard!!!

"Hey, how can a student from the Academy kill people so easily! What have you been teaching them!"

"That's right! You, human butcher! Take better care of your disciples!"

"Uhi is a good girl! She just wants to go to the bathroom!!!!"

Ironically, these words came from the Demons, who had been cornered. They seemed to think that with the arrival of the Academy instructors, they wouldn't die here.

"You worthless pieces of trash still have your mouths running…"

Baek Seol-hee swept her cold gaze over them.

"So killing people is not murder for you, but when an Academy student does it, it is?"

"B-But! Attacking an enemy who has lost their will to fight! That's not something a Hunter should do—"

One of the Demons, with a severed arm, protested as if wronged.

"You're talking nonsense."

Baek Seol-hee cut them off without hesitation.

"You were trash to begin with, killing civilians who didn't even have the power to fight back. And do you really think I'm unaware of what you were planning?"

Swing-

She drew her sword with a languid gesture.

"If you had escaped from here, you would have taken those students hostage to threaten my disciple, to manipulate his gentle heart."

Jolt.

The Demons' bodies trembled at her resolute voice, and so did mine.

'…Um, well, no…? It's just because of Soup.'

I looked at her awkwardly, but Baek Seol-hee continued.

"Because of you, my disciple almost walked down a path he shouldn't have. From that moment on, your fate was sealed."

Then she turned her head to look at me.

"Hmm, my condition isn't the best right now… But there's a lesson I can impart to you here."

"A lesson, here?"

I asked, my face filled with confusion, and Baek Seol-hee nodded slightly.

"Yes, let's swing our swords together."

.

.

.

The arrival of Baek Seol-hee.

Although only one instructor had appeared in this chaotic scene, the observing students breathed a sigh of relief, feeling deeply reassured.

The sight of Jin Yuha slaughtering the enemies like twisting a chicken's neck was somewhat cathartic…

To be honest,

It was scary.

The murderous aura Jin Yuha exuded wasn't directed solely at the Demons. Of course, the Demons bore the direct responsibility for what happened to Lee Yoo-ri, so the intensity of his anger towards them was unparalleled.

Even though they didn't know what was happening, the students who stood by and watched as Lee Yoo-ri reached that state were also objects of Jin Yuha's resentment. The students, intimidated by the thick murderous intent, gradually regained their spirit as they listened to Baek Seol-hee's words.

Then came a surge of emotion.

"We… almost became hostages?"

"So that's why he was so angry."

"I didn't even realize…"

"To Lee Yoo-ri and Jin Yuha, we were all burdens… But despite that, they're doing this for us…"

Jin Yuha's rage and his slaughter of the Demons were not only because of what happened to Lee Yoo-ri but also to stop the Demons' despicable schemes.

And among the students, Lee Min-young also felt a profound resonance, as if her soul were being pierced.

'…Ah.'

Someone who strives desperately to protect others. A truly noble person. How have we been viewing him…?

Although her personality had changed slightly and become a bit odd, the foundation of who she was remained unchanged.

She had sparred with Jin Yuha countless times, yet she still judged him based on his outward appearance, failed to acknowledge him, and treated him with hostility.

But here he was, throwing himself into a bloody battle with the Demons to protect them.

'…At the very least, we shouldn't have seen him like that.'

Lee Min-young bit her lip.

She turned to face the students and shouted.

"All of you! Witness this fight and remember it!!! We all owe this man our lives! We must not forget this fact and miss any moment of it!"

And so, the students, who had been paralyzed by fear, now watched the battle of Jin Yuha and Baek Seol-hee with serious and attentive eyes.

Lee Min-young felt a tingling sensation in her heart as she gazed at Jin Yuha's back with admiration.

The unwavering determination of Lee Yoo-ri, standing tall like a sturdy tree, even as the whole world seemed to be crashing down on her.

The will of Jin Yuha, stepping alone into the abyss, expecting kindness from no one.

All of it felt dazzlingly brilliant.

'I want to join the Utopia Party, too.'

Lee Min-young couldn't help but think to herself.

.

.

.

A sword dance performed by a master and disciple in perfect harmony.

Under the radiant moonlight, two swords swayed like flowers.

One sword was dynamic, while the other was static.

As the sword blades reflected the moonlight and danced together, they began to resemble each other.

The heated sword gradually calmed down and transformed into sharpness, while the bitterly cold sword gained a sense of liveliness.

The entire scene blended together like a beautiful painting.
