Sword Master, Becomes a failed student

What Rumien said to Tania was quite an excuse.

It was not just a suggestion, it was an overstep.

If you tell a lifelong spear learner to move forward and recommend a spear to someone who has only wielded a sword.

How many people can take that as a word for themselves?

Probably no one.

And what the Lumians said was equally compelling.

"Completely change your style!" ’

That's why Tania couldn't help but make a firm face.

If it weren't for the Romans, he might have said something harsh. No, it was very offensive to say what the Lumians said.

She said.

“Am I hearing this right? ”

“That's right."

“Change swordsmanship style? ”

“Yes, I think that looks good. ”

“Ahh..."

Tania sighs on her head.

The Lumian apologizes.

That's the reaction she was expecting. She's denying everything she's tried, so of course she must feel bad.

He continues to speak cautiously.

“I'm sorry to say this. But if I'm not being honest, I think it's more rude. ”

"......."

“And in case you're wrong, I'm not ignoring you. Rather, I was very surprised. I think it has a lot more potential than I thought. ”

“And that potential requires a change in swordsmanship style? ”

“…… Yes. That's why I brought it up when I knew it was an excuse. ”

Tania looks into the Lumian's eyes.

The Lumian did not avoid her gaze. It's because I thought if I avoided my eyes here, I wouldn't be able to trust her.

Was the idea right?

Tania sighs as she stares at the Lumen, then lowers her sword to the armory. Then I nodded my head outside the training ground.

“Sounds like a long story. Shall we go out and talk?”

“Thank you. I mean it. ”

The Lumian lowers his head slightly. Thank goodness. I'd like to have a conversation first.

Tania smiles back.

“No, I'm sorry. You don't want to mess with me, and you said that for a reason. I'll see you in the square a little later. Looks like you're gonna have to sweat a lot. ”

“Yes, it is. ”

After a while.

The two met in the square and moved to the appropriate teahouse.

Soon after finishing the order, Tania gets to the point.

He still didn't look bright.

“I'll talk to you before I hear from you. ”

“Yes."

“I admit, you may lack a lot of my skills. In fact, I'm confident that I can come to the concert, but swordsmanship...... I still think I have a long way to go. ”

Tania's words get quicker and quicker.

She continues to tell her story.

“But even so, I don't think it's bad enough to change its style. I've worked hard, and I've done my best. He's weaker than you, but he's never missed first place all semester. ”

"......."

“Besides, my current style is not a result of my own thinking, it's based on the advice of a third-grade professor. ”

“Third Grade Degree? Professor Ben Barrett? ”

“Yes, why? ”

Tania asks with a curious face.

It's because the Lumian didn't look good.

“No, um…… what did the professor advise you? ”

“Advice? So……."

“Oh, wait a minute. Let me guess.”

The Lumian raises his hand and stops speaking to Tania.

He lowers his gaze for a moment and rolls his head carefully.

“Did I not tell you that since Tania's error has the same properties as water, we should aim for a flowing soft sword? ”

“Huh!"

Tania looks surprised.

My butt flew as if I were getting up from my seat.

The Lumian continues to speak.

“Women lack physical power over men, so we should focus on sharpening and polishing the technique rather than speed, rather than holes, and compress the opponent with cheerful movements instead of lowering the center of gravity……."

“Oh, oh! How did you know?”

Beef jerky

Tania wakes up completely from her seat.

The waiter, surprised by her pressure, spills his car. The waitress lowers her head in apology and goes back to get her car.

Until then, Tania's excitement has not subsided.

The Lumian, who was watching this, kicked his tongue.

‘I knew it. He seemed so wise and prejudiced....'

Ben Barrett.

He was a sophomore who didn't get hit much, but Lumian knew him.

It is because the first grade, the words he heard before entering this body, remain memorable.

‘You suck. You don't grow up because you don't look like a knight family and you don't have the patience or the passion. ’

I wasn't wrong. In fact, the luminosity of the day was neither motivated nor confident.

However, his attitude of pouring out abusive language was unpleasant, rather than encouraging first-graders who were barely on the starting line.

Of course, my skills were not bad apart from my temper. In a small country like Tarazan, you'll be treated like one when you enter Sword Expert.

‘But there are no eyes on people. They're teaching students based solely on stereotypes in the framework. ’

I used to be a bit of a ginger, but the advice I gave Tania was clear.

He was right.

The Lumian decides to push his thoughts even harder.

“Sunbae, just calm down. ”

“Oh, sorry. I was so surprised... …."

Tania sits down with a shy look on her face.

However, the face was still mentioned.

She scratches at the lumen.

“Come on, come on. How did you know that? ”

“Well, that's because I was thinking about the same things that the professor felt. ”

“What parts? ”

“Your error matrix is similar to water. that women are less powerful than men. ”

“Well, then, isn't there anything wrong with what Barrett said? ”

“No, that's completely wrong. Normally, yes, but not Tania. ”

“…… I'm different? How do you know that? ”

“I know because I've been watching. ”

“What, what? ”

Tania raises her voice in disquiet.

Of course she knew. You saw yourself practicing swords, dealing with errors.

However, my heart trembled regardless of that.

As she ponders how to fight back, the car comes out again.

Tania takes a sip of this to calm her nerves.

Then came the lumen's explanation.

“It's true that your temperament resembles water. And it's true that most of them are prone to soft swords. ”

“Yes."

“But there are different kinds of water. There is a gentle, continuously flowing river-like error, whereas there is a non-flowing, weighty error. like reservoirs or lakes.”

“…… what the hell. Are you saying I'm the second? ”

“That's right. That doesn't mean the latter is bad, by the way. ”

Tania gives a grumpy look again, and the Lumians shake hands.

He didn't say good and bad now.

I was going to say that even the same water can be used in a completely different way.

“The heavy water weighs so much as a rock or a mountain. If you're confident in what you have coming, like Tania. ”

"......."

“It's no problem that women are less powerful than men. A heavy sword suits you. ”

“You want me to handle the sword? ”

“Yes."

The Lumian replies with unshakeable eyes.

I feel a strong heart in my eyes. Tania was embarrassed.

“No, wait, I'm so confused right now...."

“It's okay, I can do that. I'll explain it again. ”

The Lumian once again explains for Tania.

Nothing changed. I was just repeating what I said a little more slowly and in detail.

Tania is gradually immersed in the story of the Lumen.

First of all, what he said was not nonsense. I was persuasive enough to nod myself.

Above all, the mood she felt in the current lumen shook her heart.

He swoops in like a mountain.

It was unshakeable, giving me a lot of trust for myself.

‘For me, has anyone taken your advice this seriously? ’

There was none.

That's not what Professor Ben Barrett said at first. Thinking about it, I didn't think I'd ever heard such a meaningful story except for the advice I heard in first grade.

Adequate praise, moderate encouragement. I only showed enough attention as anyone could.

Now that I think about it, I see the lumen, the temperature difference is unbelievable.

‘Really, was there a style that matched me? ’

You're shaken. Is it true what the Lumians say? I thought gradually in my mind.

But it was still too stubborn to give up.

Falling on words filled with his life, effort, dreams, and emotions, his ego was corrupted.

As expected, she sighs a little. She looks at the Lumen.

And I was about to slowly open my mouth.

“Wait a minute, Sunbae. ”

"......."

The lumen's torso is swooping forward.

His face became clear and enlarged. Tania pulls her head back, her heart fluttering.

After a slow awakening, she speaks as if shooting to hide her shame.

“What, what! ”

“I know it's a lot to worry about. The advice the professor gave me was wrong, and he asked me to believe him. I think it's kind of weird. So."

“…… So? ”

“To make it easier for you to believe me, I want to show you something. ”

After finishing speaking, the lumen sits back in the chair.

And I wandered around.

It was like checking to see if anyone noticed them.

A question mark popped into Tania's head.

What is it? What the hell is he trying to show us?

It was when I was thinking that.

Bloop!

As a spark rises, an error rises on a Roman finger.

It was the sword!

The technology that only Expert can show.

Tania rises from her seat in horror.

“What, this! ”

Gurgle!

Wajang Chang!

“Ah!"

It happened too fast.

The table shakes and the cup falls to the floor. The attention of people was focused.

Tania looks at the lumen, and his hands are grabbed by the sword.

“Let's talk somewhere else, first. Oh, I'm sorry. I'll make up for the broken glass. ”

“Are you all right, sir? ”

“It's okay. Haha. ”

Rumien talking to an approaching waitress.

Tania's head looked at him and it was complicated.

* * *

A few moments later, they leave the teahouse and walk along a quiet promenade.

You see the appropriate bench to sit on. They sat there without saying a word.

The silence lasted a long time after that, but in the end, someone had to open their mouth.

“You showed me the Sword...... because you wanted me to believe you, right? ”

“Well…… yes. ”

The Lumian taps the stone at his feet and kicks it. A sharp, flying stone slams into a nearby tree.

“It's like a child, but I'm good at this! If you show me what you're doing, I'm sure there will be more trust in your words..."

“Hahaha.”

Tania laughs.

It was definitely a childish idea.

I'm no better than the professor!

So believe me!

This is what it felt like to wrap up.

But it was effective enough. Tania changes her mind about following the Lumian's words.

‘Because you tried to convince me to reveal your secret, I can't believe it. ’

It was strange when I thought about it.

I didn't even know that I was concerned about every single thing the Lumians did.

It meant that it was not a secret to be revealed to anyone. Probably no one but Theolo, Boomer and Carl Krone.

However, he told himself the important thing.

Why the hell not?

Tania decides to ask honestly.

“Why did you do that? ”

“Yes?”

“Sounds like a secret you've been hiding. Why are you trying to convince me to reveal that? ”

"......."

The face of the Roman who heard Tania's words still lingers.

But it wasn't in my heart. He was blaming himself for his pity.

‘It's no big secret. I've also shown you at a bar to attract girls...... "

I even showed him the sword.

Thinking about it, it was nothing to tell Tania.

But I was too ashamed to say it straight away.

That's why the Lumian decided to wrap up the horse to make it sound good.

He said with a serious look.

“Well, I trust Tania. ”

“…… trust me? ”

“Of course.”

Lumian nods.

Tania's eyes widen to hear this.

His face turned slightly red.
