Academy’s Genius Swordsman

< 77. The Great Operation (1) >

#77

I wanted to ignore it, but it wasn’t a topic I could afford. It was the car Ronan was about to turn. Adeshan pulled himself off the wall and grabbed his sleeve.

“Wait a minute.”

“ok? What’s wrong?”

“Take this.”

Adeshan held out the coat he was holding. The neatly folded clothes looked as if they had never been worn before. Ronan’s eyes widened as he received the coat.

“Aha, this is mine.”

“thank you. I was able to live thanks to that.”

“What. I’m glad you’re wearing it.”

It was lent to Adeshan at the time of the interim evaluation. Ronan put on his coat right away. It felt like I was wearing new clothes. Adeshan said.

“What do you think?”

“How are you?”

“Isn’t that a little different?”

Ronan shrugged his eyebrows. When I listened to it, it seemed that the fit had changed slightly. He soon noticed that the lining had become a little thicker.

“Did you put something inside?”

“yes. I had some leftover material, so I added strong leather to the cutlery. It will be able to prevent minor cuts and cuts.”

“Wow, can you do something like this?”

“The name is the tailor’s daughter, of course. Take a look at the inside pocket.”

Ronan lifted his head. In front of the inner pocket, his name was embroidered in elegant cursive. Adeshan smiled softly.

“I engraved it once. I think you will lose your clothes often.”

“thanks. There is no need to do this.”

Ronan chuckled. I really liked the revamped school uniform. No matter what treatment was done, there was little change in weight.

“It’s good because you like it.”

Adeshan looked at Ronan with proud eyes. It was nice to see her genuinely happy. After a moment’s hesitation, she opened her mouth.

“He… can I ask you one thing?”

“Absolutely. Now I can tell you the number of moles on my ass.”

“Well, I don’t need anything like that… Why, it was there yesterday. Very pretty magic and senior.”

“Ophelia? Why is she?”

“. Did you finish it…?”

“yes?”

“Oh, no, it’s not that important. Just, yes. I wonder what the deal is.”

In Adeshan’s strangely urgent tone, he didn’t feel his usual gun. Ronan tilted his head.

“What are you doing? Uh… are you friends?”

“Okay, friend. So um. Are you talking about something like that between you and me?”

For a moment, Ronan was speechless. The gibberish was unable to grasp the intent of the question. She asked in a worried voice.

“Why don’t you say anything…?”

“Oh, I was just thinking about it for a second. Ophelia is… well, to be honest, she’s different from her seniors.”

“uh?”

At that moment, Adeshan stiffened as if Medusa had encountered it. Her eyelashes, thick as a forest, were trembling. Ronan, who was rubbing his chin, continued.

“Because you are so special.”

“Is it special… special?”

“Of course it is. We are going to be together until the end.”

Adeshan’s eyes widened. It seemed that she had a sense of entitlement of her own. Ophelia, who looks strong just by looking at it, appeared like a colleague, so she must be feeling anxious.

There is a long way to go to the general, but it will be difficult if you are already shaken. In times like these, it was best to boost self-confidence.

“Don’t worry. You said you’d be there to help. Keep going until you do.”

“Well then… you mean that I’m more important than Ophelia-senpai?”

“At least for me.”

Ronan looked into Adeshan’s eyes and said. Creaking like a broken doll, she bowed her head. His little ears were red as if they had been on fire. A voice that sounded like crawling came from inside the drooping hair.

“···thank god.”

“yes? What did you do?”

“Nothing. I’ll just have to go there today. yes. There are things that the instructor ordered.”

“Today is Sunday.”

“Okay, I have a request for you. Then I’ll go and see…!”

Suddenly, Adeshan turned his back and started walking. Because of his long legs, he walked incredibly fast. Ronan shook her head as she looked at her back as she moved away.

“The instructor is very nice too.”

I might give you a little rest on the weekend. Ronan muttered so and moved to the club. The sky was clear of clouds overnight, and the sky was shining bright blue.

****

“I have come.”

The door to the club building opened. An unusual combination stood out.

Schlieffen was spinning around the room like a condor suffering from an anxiety disorder, muttering inexplicable sounds. At the table in the far corner, Asher crouched and trembled.

“Hey, hey, hey…”

Asher, who covered her face with a large book, was watching Schlieffen’s movements with only her eyes sticking out. Ronan frowned at the sight like a nerd.

“What are you doing there?”

“Lo, Ronan…!”

Asher, who made eye contact with Ronan, ran to him. I was studying here, and Schlieffen came by. he said in a whisper.

“Hey, why is that person here…?”

“Ah, he’s a member of our team now. I didn’t tell you.”

“what···?”

Asher’s eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. At that moment, the wandering Schlieffen stopped in place. He opened his mouth without turning his head.

“Ronan. What are you doing now?”

“You came on an adventure that you couldn’t even imagine. What is it that makes you so fussy?”

“Time is running out, so just tell me. It seems that Ms. Iril’s move needs to be advanced. to today.”

“If you don’t want to be beaten behind, you must have a good reason.”

It was amazing. After a long agreement, it was just yesterday that we decided to move to the end of the month. Ronan felt the fatigue he had accumulated so far slowly be replaced by anger. Schlieffen continued.

“In the morning, the information came in. Another village was destroyed. Located west of Rome, Kakapura is a mountain village.”

“What do you mean? Is the village destroyed?”

“okay. Frenzy monsters attacked. The situation could only be settled when the Imperial Army, not the guards, could deal with it.”

“…Tell me in detail.”

Ronan’s face hardened. Nimburton, where her sister lives, was also located in the western part of the Romaira Mountains. The incident is said to have occurred since yesterday evening while he was absent.

As usual, the gentle or inhabitant monsters began to run rampant. He said that the response was delayed because it was happening in a wide range.

“I sent a mercenary corps to Nimburton just last night. They’re dispatched, but it’s still better than nothing.”

“What are you doing? You’re proud of it.”

“Of course, there is no change in the need to hurry. I heard that a Wyvern was observed from above Marvas this morning.”

“Peace, Wyvern?”

Ronan licked his lips. The Wyvern was on the very dangerous side among monsters. He couldn’t breathe or use magic, but he had poison and sharp teeth and, above all, could fly.

Schlieffen approached the map on the cork board. He began to point the tip of his sword one by one at the villages near the Romaira Mountains.

“Except for the current large city of Marbas, there is no proper defense system in place to counter the attack of monsters. All of the places where the incident took place are quite far from Nimburton, but we can’t put our minds to rest. Therefore, it is the right decision to send an escort force as soon as possible to bring Iril to the island.”

On the map, the moving lines for moving and sections to be aware of were marked in detail. Ronan’s head was spinning quickly. It was reasonable, but there was nothing wrong with it. Recognizing that there was no need to hesitate any longer, Ronan placed a hand on Asher’s shoulder.

“Asher. Pack your luggage.”

“Yes?”

“It’s an emergency club activity.”

There seemed to be no time for rest. Ronan hurriedly took out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote two notes. And I put a piece of paper into the mouth of Sita, who was nodding at the window.

“···Byeok?!”

“Tell it to Baren. Do you know where it is?”

It was a temporary club activity plan. Sita nodded her head, shaking off her sleep. The other was placed on the table right in front of the door.

There was no time to gather other members. The three men immediately finished their preparations and left Phileon. Thirty minutes later, two ghost horses were fired over the western gates of the islands.

****

The three had crossed the Romaira Mountains before sunset. It was hard to believe that the road that had passed over the past four days with Asher was unbelievable. Certainly, the speed of the ghost horse on the paved road was beyond imagination.

Of course, the rental price was beyond my imagination, but I didn’t have to worry too much because the Phileon Academy would pay for it. They stopped for the first time after reaching Marvas. Schlieffen said in a calm voice.

“It was a good idea, Ronan. Are you thinking of renting a ghost horse?”

“I’ve ridden it before and it’s fucking fast.”

“Woo.”

Asher was holding Ronan’s waist, barely holding back the rising vomiting. Ronan said as he took off his sweat-soaked goggles.

“Anyway, you first go to Nimburton and lead the escort. We will switch to plain horses.”

“Wouldn’t it be better if we went together?”

“Yes, there is something that bothers me. I’ll kill you if you tinker with my sister, so you know that.”

“What do you mean by refurbishment? Do you think I’m doing this because I’m selfish? That’s funny. Listen, Ronan. I am based on the noble spirit of Grancia…”

“Okay, so let’s go. There is no time.”

Ronan cut off the waist. It would have gone away after talking for a while, but, due to the situation, Schlieffen obediently turned the reins.

It was only deplorable that such a thing was a small duke of the great family, Grancia. Ronan said in a pathetic tone.

“Do you really think that idiot will go unnoticed?”

“That, well…”

“It’s already been tampering with. You’re making tea on purpose so that your sister will notice. Because there is no one in the world who does not know that he likes him.”

Asher looked at Ronan with a puzzled expression. He licked his lips as if he wanted to say something, then stopped. The two borrowed a nimble steed from the market in Marbas. Ronan murmured as he looked around.

“It seems that the Wyverns really did appear.”

The atmosphere of the city seemed to have gotten worse. The number of people on the street has significantly decreased. The remaining passers-by looked up at the sky from time to time.

The Imperial Army dispatched from the islands formed a column and patrolled everywhere. They all had crossbows on their backs. Ronan sighed as he thought to face the Wyvern.

‘Damn, I’m not a very good opponent.’

The memories of running around to catch a wyvern in a previous life came to mind. Ronan earnestly hoped that the Wyvern would not be caught among the monsters that were maddened.

“Then let’s go.”

Ronan and Asher, who switched to horses, immediately left Marvas. Ronan rode his horse at a speed that was neither slow nor fast, stopping from time to time. Also, that wasn’t the end. Ronan, who stopped for the eighth time, looked back at Asher and said:

“Asher. Let it float.”

“Yes. Invisible Hand.”

Asher chanted the spell. Ronan’s body quickly and gently floated into the air. Rivers, forests, and villages dotted around came into view. Ronan confirmed that there was nothing wrong and asked to get off. He landed on the saddle in a sitting position. Asher opened her mouth carefully.

“Yeah, but Ronan. What’s on your mind? It happened so suddenly, I can’t understand the situation…”

“I think it has something to do with Nebula Clazier.”

“What···?”

Ronan replied calmly. I was concerned that the monsters suddenly started running rampant. The cave giants I met the other day and the ogres of the Baidian Mountains were all the work of Nebula Clazier. Asher asked with a pale face.

“If it’s Nebula Clazier… you destroyed the temple and made Sarante like that…”

“ok. You bastards in the world.”

The reason Ronan often asked him to float himself in the air was to discover their characteristic sparkling mana. It was around the time I was slowly getting closer to Nimburton.

I caught my eye on a crowded crowd at the front of the road. A group of imperial troops were blocking the road with their spears and shields in front. A man who appeared to be a captain stood in front of Ronan and shouted.

“stop! Stop!”

“What happen?”

His expression wasn’t very good. It seemed that something had happened. The man said, pointing his finger over the blocked road.

“Swordsman Zaifa and its direct units are operating in the vicinity. Wait until it’s over, or go back the other way.”
