Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius
Chapter 49

Episode 49

I entered the dorm with Selina.

Selina opened her eyes like a meerkat and looked around, wondering what was so strange.

I suppressed my laughter at the cuteness that didn’t match the atmosphere and showed her around the dorm.

Her steps followed me around and stopped at the entrance to the basement.

“….”

Her eyebrows furrowed as she twitched her nose and smelled something.

I became nervous without realizing it.

‘Did you smell blood?’

The blood stains that had been shed while torturing the ‘Wild Dog’ executive still remained.

This is because a lot of blood was shed, possibly due to repeated treatment and torture.

It will take another month to completely erase it.

However, unless you have a good sense of smell, it will be difficult to smell it.

I hope you don’t try to go down to the basement.

“I’d like to have some tea, is that okay?”

Contrary to her expectations, she quickly lost her mind in the basement.

“…yes. Let’s go.”

It was consideration.

I was a little grateful because I felt like they wouldn’t touch my private life.

I headed to the living room next to the entrance to the mansion.

Ellis poured the tea and stepped back.

Mahol took notice of me and went to Raina.

I faced Selina and wondered what to say.

And because I thought it wasn’t good to be too quiet, I started by saying hello.

“I was in a hurry earlier, so I’ll say hello again.”

When she saw me standing up and lowering my head, she was embarrassed and stood up and lowered her head.

As I sat down, I smiled and spoke.

“Then why did you come to the academy?”

“Ah… I wanted to gain experience.”

“Experience… you mean?”

The reason she spoke seemed somehow familiar.

Because it was the same excuse I gave to Count Millennium.

But I never thought I would hear such an excuse from her.

“okay.”

After that, normal conversation took place.

How are you?

I had a good time. How is Count Warrug? etc….

When the atmosphere was suitably warm, we got to the point.

“If you are an observing student, you will need to choose a team.”

“yes.”

Her complexion darkened at those words.

One of the basic conditions for participation in the test was to form a team of at least three people.

You have to go into the forest where monsters live, hunt them, see teamwork with other teams, etc.

Therefore, even though I came as an observing student, I had to form a team to participate in the test.

And because of her personality, it was impossible to team up with someone she didn’t know.

“Then how about teaming up with me?”

That’s a good thing.

I was already worried because I wouldn’t be able to see her or Beatrice for a long time at the academy.

But when such a great opportunity came, it was foolish to miss it.

“Raymond Youngsik?”

“yes. It’s your first time here, so you probably don’t know anyone. Wouldn’t it be better to do it with someone who knows what they’re doing?”

“That’s… right.”

She nodded.

I continued speaking with a bright smile.

“I want to team up with Lady Selina. How do you feel?”

“Hmm…”

She took a sip of tea and nodded.

“I am grateful. I was already worried about what to do with the team. “But since you presented it like this first, I feel at ease.”

“I’m just grateful that you think so.”

“But… the team has at least three people, right? “Where can I get one person?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. “He who was just with me will be with us.”

“Oh, I see.”

“And there is one more person…”

“…?”

As I trailed off, she tilted her head.

Rather than explaining it to her with words, wouldn’t it be better to show it to her?

“There is one more person who will be on the same team. “I think it would be better to see it in person and talk about it.”

“It doesn’t matter to me. “If we’re going to be on the same team, it’s not a bad idea to get to know each other.”

“Then let’s go see him now.”

“yes?”

“Actually, they are sharing the same accommodation as me. “I’m on the second floor, so I can meet you right away.”

“Oh, I see.”

She nodded.

Then he slowly emptied the contents of the teacup and moved after me.

I headed straight to the second floor.

There wasn’t much to introduce about the accommodation.

I don’t intend to stay here for years and I have no intention of bringing anything to this.

So, I quickly headed to the room where Reina was.

“uh. Raymon…?”

When I opened the door and went in, Rayna, who was trying to say hello to me, froze in place when she saw Selina.

And then he looked back at Mahol, hoping for an explanation.

Mahol broke out in a cold sweat and looked back and forth between me and Raina.

And soon he lowered his head.

It seems he thought there was no way he could explain it with his own words.

“Don’t get up. I’m not feeling well either. You just can stay like that.”

“Yes….”

Her eyes turned to Selina as she answered me.

The blank look in his eyes suggests that he was overwhelmed by Selina’s appearance.

‘Looking at it like this. Selina is definitely more…’

I thought Raina was beautiful too, but seeing her with Selina was still too much.

Raina was a flower bud that had not yet bloomed, and Selina was a flower that had begun to bloom.

“This is Reina, Mahol’s younger sister. As you can see, I’m not feeling well.”

“yes.”

Selina, like Raina, was looking at Raina while answering.

“Reina. This is Lady Selina. “He will be on the same team in the future.”

“Ah…”

She nodded absentmindedly.

Now that we’ve gathered together like this, we’ve decided to tell you how to move in the exam.

I don’t know when we’ll get together like this again, but I thought it would be better to tell you in advance.

“Reina is weak and cannot move on the front line. So they will move with us, but we will not engage them in battle.”

Commonly known as bus burning.

I was confident that even if it was just me or Selina, we would get a perfect score on the test.

The same goes for Mahol.

But it wasn’t Raina. If you fail to participate in the test again, you may be in trouble.

Since I have not participated in a test for several years now, disciplinary action could have been taken against me for making this an issue.

We can’t let that happen.

Therefore, the best way was to move together but hunt alone.

The only problem was whether Selina would allow this.

“I don’t mind.”

Fortunately, Selina didn’t think much of it.

He said he understood and wished him well in the future.

Those eyes were strangely sharp, but I didn’t pay much attention to them.

Because he wasn’t the kind of person who would harm her just because he didn’t like her.

***

After briefly exchanging greetings, Selina returned to the accommodation provided by the academy.

Her accommodation was not far from where I was.

Since it was next to the training field in the middle, we were able to meet at the training field whenever we had time.

These days, the classes themselves are held outside, so I can use the training center all day.

“How about trying it together?”

He couldn’t simply swing his sword at the scarecrow.

We had to work together in advance so we wouldn’t get in each other’s way when hunting monsters in the forest.

I could adjust it to suit them, but they were different.

Since each person had a distinct personality, their movements could have diverged if they did not practice in advance.

That’s what I suggested.

‘Why did this happen?’

It was clearly supposed to be a team-up, but for some reason, Mahol and Selina teamed up and turned against me.

The eyes of those holding wooden swords glowed menacingly.

I didn’t feel like I was losing, but I was just embarrassed that this situation suddenly happened.

I just suppressed them to get them together.

“Raymond Youngsik, can’t you deal with the two of us?”

The situation changed with those words she said.

Mahol nodded in agreement to her words, and Selina spoke as if it was only right for me to be on the team alone.

Of course, sparring like this is more effective than dealing with a scarecrow.

“Haha….”

I never thought I would become a substitute for a scarecrow.

But you can’t say you won’t do it.

I decided to accept it as a good thing.

‘It worked out better. Because I can accurately gauge their skills.’

I grabbed the wooden sword, tapped it on the ground, and looked at them.

They stood at a reasonable distance from each other and were pointing their weapons at me.

Selina had a wooden sword and Mahol had two short wooden swords made for daggers.

Without saying anything, I pointed my wooden sword at them and provoked them.

I deliberately showed them an opening and told them to come in, but they didn’t attack easily.

He was extremely wary of my every movement and rolled his eyes.

It may have been brief, but it lasted for a long time and was extremely boring.

So I decided to go in first.

He kicked off the ground and ran towards Selina, swinging his wooden sword honestly.

I looked straight at Selina as the wooden sword was swinging from top to bottom.

Sigh!

When she blocked the wooden sword with a standard posture, the back of my head gave me a chill.

He bowed his head and turned around, swinging his wooden sword.

Perfect!

Before I knew it, Mahol’s dagger came back and was blocked by my wooden sword.

Mahol didn’t feel sorry for that and took a quick step back.

“Ha!”

The sound of cheers.

Huh!

I leaned back and dodged Selina’s attack.

A wooden sword grazed my collar.

Selina swung the wooden sword in the same stance and aimed at my uvula.

Just hit it!

I took three steps backwards and blocked all of her attacks.

‘It’s softer than before.’

As I blocked her attack, I unconsciously put a smile on my face.

In that short time, Selina has made a lot of progress.

The movements that were awkward when I first saw them were no longer visible.

Each movement went smoothly, leading to a fierce attack.

Hiss!

In addition, Mahol’s subtle attack strangely matched well with Selina’s attack.

Whenever she attacked, Mahol supported her by her side, and when I blocked Mahol’s attack, Selina took advantage of the gap.

It came together better than I could have imagined.

They seemed to have felt that too, as they looked at each other in surprise and pushed me even faster.

No matter how much of a knight he was, if he didn’t use mana, he would have been defeated long ago by this attack.

“It’s not bad.”

But unfortunately, I was different from other knights.

Even in their seemingly amazing attack, there were countless loopholes.

No matter how well we got along with each other, there were still a lot of awkward things because it was our first time doing it.

For example.

“This place is empty.”

I saw a loophole in Selina, who was swinging a wooden sword next to Mahol.

My view was momentarily blocked by the dagger wielded by Mahol, and the wooden sword shook.

Sigh!

When she struck it, Selina lost the wooden sword.

Without missing a beat, I kicked the wooden sword away, grabbed Mahol by the shoulder, and threw him to the ground.

“Wow!”

Mahol groaned and curled up.

He gently pressed his chest with his foot and aimed the wooden sword at Selina’s neck.

“I won?”

She bit her lip as if she was annoyed by my words.
