chapter 22
22 – Disciples are not slaves. Treat me with love
“I thought it would be delicious.”
Philane challenged me to a duel.
To be honest, I know the wisest option is not to fight here.
But I accepted.
“I agree with you.”
Because Philaine said that it would be delicious after seeing me, and I felt the same after hearing that.
I also wanted to see Philaine’s skills.
In the past, I was the Sword Saint, and now I am Philaine. I couldn’t help but wonder which one had the upper hand.
It’s natural for a swordsman to want to know who’s stronger than those who reached the pinnacle with the same sword.
“Let me taste it too, sir.”
And there’s one more thing. It was because I thought I wanted to beat my disciple for the first time in a long time.
Even if it’s only for a moment, Philaine was my student in the past. I wondered how far such a disciple would have grown.
And now there is no choice but to educate the former disciple who has become a cheeky personality in addition to being a complete slut.
“Like a cheeky kid.”
After I accepted the fight, Philaine fixed his sword and faced me.

Before coming here, Philain had investigated the personal information of the students and had finished investigating the boy in front of him.
His name is Rhine, he was born as a war orphan, adopted by Saint Laniri, and is said to have entered Silverin Academy with his excellent swordsmanship.
“Like a cheeky kid.”
At first, I thought how amazing a 15-year-old swordsman could be, but the boy I saw in front of me was different.
Even though he was already 15 years old, the boy in front of him didn’t shake an inch in his posture. His eyes were staring straight at him, and he was ready for an attack at any time.
How many messes have you been through before you can get there? Maybe… No, her skill in fighting was definitely higher than her own.
“Whoops…”
But in the end, that’s all.
No matter how good he is, he is a swordsman himself. He is a swordsman with an honorable title that can only be wielded by those who are the most advanced as a sword.
Sword Saint, Philaine. Everyone trembles upon hearing that title. A veritable inspection. There was no way that such a prosecutor would be defeated by such a cheeky little boy.
Chang!
Chang!
It was the Philane side that attacked first. He fluttered his clothes, spinning in the air like a butterfly, lowering his sword at the boy in front of him.
And the subsequent horizontal cutting. All of these movements were so fast that it could be said to be a split second.
And… It was a sword loaded with overwhelming magical power and was incredibly destructive.
“Whoops. It’s stronger than I thought? I just hit it with all my might.”
However, the boy in front of him easily blocked the attack. And it wasn’t just blocking. Even after parrying those attacks, he still had enough energy to counter him.
‘It’s fun.’
Philane couldn’t help but be surprised. And he’s having a lot of fun right now.
The blow I had just received was a level attack that could never be stopped by a student, and if a halfway swordsman had received it, it would have been a blow that would have killed him.
Of course I didn’t intend to kill him, but I did intend to end it in one blow. Because of this, he never thought he would survive, but the boy in front of him did.
‘Shall we be a little more serious?’
The boy in front of him seemed stronger than he thought.
Philaine grinned at me and she licked her lips again.
And this time, I collected much more mana than before and prepared for the same blow again.
‘Can I really stop it?’
This time, it was a rather sincere attack. How would you respond to this attack? Philaine had very anticipated feelings.
This was a blow that even other teachers, let alone other normal students, could not easily block. Because it was an attack that sublimated the sword that hit the mana as it existed into the form of swordsmanship.
This attack can never be blocked at normal levels. This is a technique I use because I acknowledged the opponent even slightly.
Chang!!!
I threw myself into the sword once again and struck the boy in front of me.
Quack!
An explosion of condensed magic power, an explosion occurred as dust and lumps of magic were mixed in an instant.
Sand smoke spread throughout the area, the remnants of magic lumps, and misty smoke swirled around them.
And how long has it passed? When the smoke cleared, the battle was over.
The outcome of the match
“Huh?”
He and Philain don’t know why he fell down.
“It was pretty good, sir.”
It was a line looking down at him.

‘It’s f*cking stronger than I thought…’
I accepted a duel with Philaine after a long time.
And as a result, I won, but it wasn’t a very refreshing victory.
I accepted the duel thinking of a scenario in which I thoroughly won, but I could have lost if I was really wrong. Philaine was much stronger than I expected.
It’s not that I don’t have a bit of an unfair side, but it’s true that Philaine is stronger than me right now.
I have a younger body now, and I haven’t quite adapted to this body yet. There was something uncomfortable about moving my body properly, and as a result, I was unable to use even 70% of my original skills.
To fight Philaine in such a state, I am not at full strength right now.
‘I won, but honestly I think you’re much stronger than me…’
However, even if it was originally my body, I couldn’t guarantee victory. Let’s admit it. The skills are similar or the fill lane is the top.
Still, there was only one reason why I won against Philaine, and that was because Philaine was careless. It was because he was off guard and I was able to feed the counter.
Originally, it would be important to know who is stronger in a fight against masters, but in the end, if you reach a certain level, luck and carelessness are very important factors. It was a situation where such luck and carelessness only smiled at me.
“You worked hard, sir. I’m done…”
Anyway, I won, so the game is over, right?
Now that Philaine has fought with me, I think he must have been satisfied. I want to hurry back to the dorm now.
As expected, I’m not used to this body. It seems that I get tired sooner than my body, and I wanted to go back to the dormitory and rest.
“It’s fun.”
Diman, I don’t think that’s possible. When I turned around, I saw Philaine smiling at me.
And when I saw that, I was kind of creeped out. He was obviously smiling at me earlier, but it was always fun when he discovered something interesting.
But the smiling Philaine was different. I could feel that he was quite angry behind that refreshing smile.
“There is also a phase 2, how about trying it?”
And it wasn’t just that I was angry. As if revealing hidden power, the Holy Sword began to glow. Soon, the Holy Sword, imbued with the magic of light, was emitting powerful divine power.
Is this your true intention? Certainly, I thought it was a little too short to be called a swordsman. I thought there must be at least a few hidden numbers, but I’m more surprised than I thought right now that this was it.
To be able to handle the holy sword perfectly. There is no way I would win this fight. I can’t beat an opponent armed with such a fraudulent system right now.
“I don’t like it. I’m tired. Enough.”
So you have to run away. Why are you fighting a battle you can’t win? Not stupid
Above all, I am now in a state of winning. So there is nothing to be ashamed of at all.
I wish I had lost, but I’m in a very good mood right now. So I just have to hurry up and go on my way.
“hehehe… Kid. I’m a woman who is forced to do something if she doesn’t like it.”
But, as expected… They just won’t let you go.
He began to sigh.
We fought for nothing. I am truly regretting this now.
“Teacher, don’t do this. What are you doing to students?”
I tried to soothe the angry Philaine in front of me with a gentle smile, but…
“Little boy. I’m a man with a lot of pride. You’ve made gold in my pride. I could kill you for that pride.”
That seemed impossible. It was a look that really wanted to kill me. He said he made a crack in his pride.
No, but what can I say…
Are you trying to kill people for your pride?
Is this a crazy b*tch?
Is this a teacher?
Am I going to die like this?
“So choose. Either die to me here or become my disciple. If you lose to my disciple, at least your pride won’t be hurt.”
I thought I was almost dead, but fortunately there seems to be a way to survive.
Well, I might have wanted to kill myself on the spot if a little kid I didn’t know had beaten me back when I was a swordsman. Of course I won’t kill you.
Anyway, that’s something to be very proud of, and something that should never happen to someone who wears the title of Sword Saint.
However, accepting him as a disciple was a very merciful and reasonable choice.
“If I become a disciple… Will you save me?”
“Of course not.”
“Then I’ll do it.”
I chose to be a disciple. Because that was the only way I could survive.
Besides, Philaine is much stronger than me now. Although being an old disciple bothers me, I’m sure there are lessons to be learned.
I am also in a position where I needed one person as a sparring partner in this world.
“Whoops… Next, I’ll tell you about the rules.”
When I agreed, Philaine twitched the corners of his mouth as if in a good mood.
“There are certain things you need to keep in order to become my disciple. This is a natural rule as a teacher and disciple.”
Then he started saying something familiar.
“First, obey the teacher’s words absolutely.”
Just keep an eye on this…
“Second, never talk back to the teacher.”
No way…
“Third, if the teacher wants it, even graduate students should be willing to do it.”
Isn’t that the contract I made when I received Philaine as a disciple?
Philane recited the same contract as the one I had made in the past.
I felt like I was stabbed in the back of the head when I saw that.
I only learned the really bad stuff.
“f*ck. I’m a graduate student. I just won’t do it.”
Who do you know as Hogu?
Graduate students crossed the line.
