Chapter 13 (2/2)
'It would be great if I can handle it more naturally'
He felt hungerAnd unable to endure that hunger, Van took off on a journey after four days
He was on his way to the capitol
“Oh, Van!Look at that!That must be the royal castle!A castle on the cliffNever fathomed that I'll ever see it with my own eyes…!”
“Re, really…”
The road trip was non-eventfulNo matter how dunize the Cho Fanature, and dare to attack
Recognizing the great fanature was a necessary skill for the thieves to prolong their lives
As a result, Van, Yeoryung, and Cho Family's newest members were able to arrive at the capitol in rather clean attiresNevertheless, they could not hide their roots of being from boon docks that they had their mouths open wide as they were mesmerized by the scenery of the capitol
“Elder brother, VanThere, look over thereThat's the artisan Ferguson's workshop…!”
“Ah, did people say that the sword from that place was incredibly sharp?”
“Not just sharp?Our one year's worth of h to buy one of them?”
“…One year?Worth not eating, then?”
“Please, my elder brother!Take it easy!”
Lee Kyung went berserk as he tried to stop Van fro soHe was one of the few friends that Vanat the two of theue
“You, two
“……I, I'm sorry…”
Lee Kyung, soon, lost his enthusias took a quick peek at the warriors eren't Cho Family's bloodlineUnlike them ere admitted to the academy with invitation letters, every one of them had to take admissions test, in person
“All of you, do, pass the testIf you fail, don't even think about showing your faces to meGot it?”
“Yes, understood!”
“OK thenGo apply for your testsWe'll be waiting for you inside”
As all the people of the Cho Fahed as they looked at each otherEven as a joke, a road trip, accoh statured people, was neither an enjoyable or comfortable experience
“…Should we go right away?”
Van asked firstAlthough he was the newest person to have joined the Cho Fa authorityFrom the same warrior's perspective, it wasn't easy to hate hi
The academy was located at the side of the cliff, at the bottom of the royal palaceNot able to even afford the luxury of viewing the famous upside doater fall, they all stood in front of the exah they did not need to do so, theirahead
“Hmm… Every one of you is from the Cho Family's clan?”
“YesWe came to apply for the test”
“Not just anyone can apply for the testA separate certification is needed, even if the Cho Fa you”
“By certification…?”
“Well, it's not that difficult”
The exa found it interesting to see the his voice
“Do you see that wolf, over there?”
“…The ones inside that cage?”
“Surviving for 1so…whether it was skill, character, or luck, you could say that you have the right to o at the test”
The examiner smirkedVan looked at the hich the exaer body size than an ordinary manThe examiner added one more note to his words
“And you can't have a real sith youWooden swordStaffThose are the only type of things you can useIt will be a shame to have the wolf injuredWell, the testers are a different storyDo you still want to challenge?”
The exafullyIt was because ot filtered out at this pointIt was because the pressure on the challengers' ainst one of the wolves was very hard, whether he had the necessary skills or not
However, Van wasn't one of the masses
He was a swordsman
“So, a wooden sword is allowed, right?”
“Of course”
“Then I'll take the challenge, first”
Unlike the examiner's expectation, there was no anxiety in Van's voiceThe examiner asked him curiously
“You've give a serious thought to this?You need to forget that we'll come and save youI can't even tell you how many corpses we cleaned out just the other day”
“No need to worry about thatI' in”
“…Wish you luck”
Leaving the exarabbed a wooden sword and bravely entered the fenceAnd even before he could take an orderly breath, a wolf entered the area
'…Still there is no voice from the wooden sword'
There was noa sword, he had to give up on reading the attack pattern of the wolf
However, it didn't matter
Van conducted a ceremony in a calm fashi+onHe could smell the wolf's breath froHowever, the fact that there was no voice fro to make him weak
No matter what the method was, all the experiences which he had ascertained up to noere part of him
'Save me from the wolf?'
Van's eyes narrowedHe didn't like that statementThat was the case because he has not de yet, but it wasn't that it didn't bother him
He had to resort to possibly being a clown that would play with a wolf inside a fenced area like thisIt was de
It was because he was going to be the most powerful swordsman in the world
The wolf rushed his that could crush the neck of a hu became ostensibly visibleIt was a terrible site
Facing such a wolf, Van twisted the hand that held the wooden sword
The examiner told hiht to begin withNo huainst an ant
Piercing
Just a single piercing move would be sufficient
Van's wooden sword pierced like the ray of light
