I Became The Academy’s Narrow-Eyes chapter 4
4 – Mighty and evil (?) existence
Ain Academy entrance exam.
It is a selection process to filter out those with talent and filter out those with the best talent on the continent.
As the time for the academy entrance examinations approaches, attention from across the continent is focused on it.
And the interest of the people who were directed to the Ain Academy entrance exam was especially great.
It was because of the rumor that a large number of talented people who had not yet entered the academy but were already famous would participate in this entrance exam.
The Rebringer I gave you.
A genius who is said to have been born with one of the greatest talents throughout the history of the Rebringer family, a renowned swordsman on the continent. Her weight in rumors was huge.
“Come to think of it, this time, the girl from the Rebringer family is also participating in the test, right?”
“I recognized it, that lady. He is a genius who will rewrite the history of continental swordsmanship.”
“No, this bastard is always rewriting the history of the continent. Leave the history of the continent alone.”
“You don’t even know the history of this little continent, do you?”
“Do you know what the 8th family is?”
“Is that important?”
“Then what the hell is important, you madman?”
Drin felt it firsthand while walking down the streets of Eraine.
As he was walking down the street, he intermittently heard his own story.
She thought.
It’s a relief that they only knew his name and didn’t know his face.
Separately, Drin had already attracted enough people’s attention.
Blond hair and blue eyes with spotless, pure brilliance caught the sunlight and showed off its presence.
Every time she took a step with a sense of moderation, her silver partial armor collided with the sword at her waist, creating a regular sound.
Every time Drin passed by, people were attracted to her, and their eyes were taken by her.
But that’s all.
I was intimidated by her aura and immediately grabbed my attention.
It was a familiar thing, and it wasn’t much of a hindrance because it was just that, so Drin didn’t care much.
‘Where shall I go?’
She wanted to explore this city, Erain, where she would be staying while she graduated from the academy, without anyone interfering.
It was pure interest-oriented tourism with the justification of exploring for a smooth academy life in the future.
Drin enjoyed the atmosphere as he wandered the streets of Erain freely.
“huh?”
Then, when I entered the market street in District 4.
Drin’s developed intuition caught a suspicious current.
A street where many people come and go.
Drin’s gaze drew a line across the street.
A man who is presumed to be a city aristocrat walking through the streets accompanied by an escort.
And the one wearing a black robe, just one of the countless passers-by on the street.
A line ran between them.
Then, an impure intention can be read from the man’s movements.
‘assassin.’
It may be an illusion.
It had nothing to do with what was put there.
However, Drin pursued the two without hesitation.
Intuition plays a big part in her genius.
That intuition was sending her a signal.
We have to stop that assassin.
Besides, I wasn’t the type to pretend I didn’t see a scene like this.
The moment the aristocrat went off the beaten path, the assassin came into action.
Like a snake crawling on the ground, the movement that burrows freely among the crowd.
‘also.’
It was undoubtedly the behavior of someone who had mastered the art of assassination.
Drin caught the assailant’s movement in his eyes.
She couldn’t get out of the crowd like that stranger.
Instead, he didn’t have to try to be inconspicuous like that gangster.
“huh? what’s up-“
The merchant’s eyes widened as he watched Drin’s movements nearby.
After leaping in place, step on the railing, and then leap again.
In just three movements, the place where she stood went from the street to the roof of a two-story building.
It was a movement with a lightness different from that of the assailant.
-Tadat.
-Tadat.
Crossing between buildings, she threw herself into an alleyway.
-widely.
A very light landing.
At the same time, a steady posture.
“What… !?”
From the assassin’s point of view, it was embarrassing.
Literally, suddenly, a person fell from the sky.
Drin pulled out his sword and stood in front of the assailant.
The noble’s escort had already fallen.
He must have had his own skills as he was entrusted with escorting the nobility, but he seemed to have been subdued at once without being able to resist.
Apparently, the assassin seemed to be quite skilled, as expected by Drin.
“… ”
It wasn’t just Din who judged the other person’s skill.
“Chit-!”
The assassin looked at Drin for a moment and then clicked his tongue.
– Whoosh!
He threw a dagger at the noble.
“… !”
-visor!
– Whoops!
“Hey!”
And, taking advantage of the gap that Drin cut the dagger to protect the nobles, he escaped without delay.
The speed was unbelievable for a simple dagger throw. and power.
Even Drin was on guard and was barely able to react.
‘It’s understandable that the escort suffered a blow.’
An aura was wrapped around the dagger.
Putting an aura on things.
Those who have reached at least 3 stars.
An assassin with that level of skill failed the assassination and escaped.
If I missed it like this, it was obvious that I would return to a bigger tragedy later.
“I will go after him, ask the city guard for help!”
“yes? ah! yes!”
Drin left the aristocrat with shining eyes and followed the assassin.
The assassin who entered the alley chose the most complex path possible and went deeper.
Drin was an outsider who had just entered Arien.
Compared to the stranger who probably made his home in the backstreets of the city, it was safe to say that he was blind to geography.
But superhuman physical abilities and reflexes.
And use your intuition to follow him.
‘Fast!’
Even so, the distance that is happening.
Drin was quite surprised.
Are you lagging behind in speed?
Perhaps the assailant was a person who exceeded Drin’s expectations.
During the suppression process, you may suffer considerable damage.
Is it right to pursue it though?
“…”
The worry didn’t last long.
In the Rebringer family, honor was as important a virtue as, or more than, strength.
For them, strength is a means to achieve honor, and honor is the path that strength should aim for.
Drin of the Rebringer family.
From her point of view, the assassin was a disgrace that could never be tolerated.
With that level of skill, he tried to harm innocent people for the trivial reason of money.
I couldn’t let such a despicable person run wild.
Even if you are injured yourself.
thought Drin.
Without knowing exactly what purpose that assassin had, or what kind of person the nobleman was.
Like this, there were times when the width of thinking became narrow in this area. Fortunately, her intuition always helped her judge, and she was rarely wrong.
“Is this it?”
Even when the assassin was out of sight, Drin relied on her intuition to continue on.
It was when a lot of time had passed.
“!!!”
Drin’s feet stopped at the corner of the street.
-Go oh oh
Suddenly her intuition gave a signal.
It’s dangerous.
A dangerous, ominous being was approaching her from across the corner.
‘This… ‘
It was the first time my intuition had warned me so strongly.
Drin could be sure.
He could never bear that existence.
I dare to guess, even his own father, the best swordsman on the continent as the head of the Rebringer family, would not be able to handle that existence.
In other words, intuition was talking.
An evil being with greater power than the continent’s greatest swordsman was approaching her right now.
‘that-‘
It was hard to believe, but Drin’s intuition clearly said so.
Drin drew his sword and took a stance.
Without delay, he brought out all the momentum he had.
“ha… ha… ”
Her breathing, which had not been disrupted even at that moment when she pursued it with all her might, collapsed.
A cold sweat pouring down like rain.
The minute vibrations that were occurring in her body gathered at the tip of her sword and stirred.
-Jerbuck
pounding.
-Jerbuck
throbbing.
Drin’s heart throbbed violently as the sound of footsteps approached, so that he wondered if it might explode at this rate.
– Beogjeokjeokjeokjeok
Thump thump thump thump!
The owner of the footsteps moved without hesitation as if he had no intention of arranging them at all, and finally, he emerged from the corner.
– Hwaaagh!
In an instant, darkness covered Drin’s world.
And then it disappeared right away.
“hmm? Aww!!!”
And what appeared in front of her eyes, upon discovering Drin, who gave off momentum, was startled and fell backwards-
He was a light-hearted, narrow-eyed man who seemed to be blown away by the wind.
“…to?”
Drin made a sound like the wind was blowing.
This person is the existence that intuition warned of?
“Sah, please save me! I will do anything you ask me to!”
That man who was shocked to see himself, kicked his butt, and then fell on his face and begged in terror?
“… ”
It was impossible no matter how you thought about it.
Aside from that infinitely light atmosphere, I didn’t feel any power from that man.
‘This… ‘
His intuition wasn’t necessarily right.
There were times when my intuition was wrong, but I guess that’s what it is now.
It must be because of being placed in an urgent situation in an unfamiliar environment.
“under… ”
Having judged that, Drin let out a sigh mixed with both relief and dejection.
“Hey, here! It’s all I have!”
When the tension is released, the man’s existence comes within the scope of interest.
He took out all of his possessions and tried to give them to Drin.
In the eyes of others, he was the robber and he was the victim.
“What is this… What are you doing now?”
Drin looked at the man in bewilderment.
Perhaps because of the situation, the narrow-eyed expression appeared to be smiling servilely.
When I thought about it again, I couldn’t understand.
How on earth could I mistake a man like this for such a terrifying being?
She felt her trust in her intuition diminish.
