102 < 101st Dream (1) > (1/2)
Wednesday.
Australia's afterstorm is almost gone.
The cadets regained their minds with two days of autonomous learning (free time).
The trainers who were called from everywhere returned to normal after all the work had been done.
“Then I will announce the first grade ranking from now on. ”
Today is the day the ranking is renewed.
Originally, it should have been announced on Thursday, shortly after returning from Australia.
Returns were postponed to all kinds of exotic events, and the afterstorms of the incident were delayed in many ways.
As the hologram rises above the table, the guards at the lower ranks check their phones.
Ranking, known as holograms, starts in 1st place. It takes a long time to get to the ranking below, so I'm checking to see if the announcement has been updated on the home page.
Of course I was just looking at the hologram.
You must have won first place on this exam. I'm sure you're at the top ranking. Why are you checking separately?
[1st Year of the Year]
[2nd place Cinzia]
First, two rankings have changed as expected.
“Cadet Shinjia was injured and failed to take the exam, earning an average score. Unfortunately, the principle is the principle. Try harder next time. ”
“Yes.”
Gia pretended to answer okay. My eyes are twitching. I can't hide the annoyance completely.
“In two months, Cadet Hasyeon was fourth to first. Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
Hashiyeon smiled widely.
“Cheoljin Kim, congratulations. 9th place. ”
“Oh! Thank you! ”
Cheoljin Kim suffered a lot from me at the time of the survival test, but he survived to the end anyway.
· · · · · · Some people have saved their lives on purpose to make them suffer longer.
Anyway, until then, I think I've gotten pretty good grades. Of course you can raise your rank.
I'm nodding like that. Instructor Pidgin's gaze was on me. I felt a strange heat in my eyes.
“Let's all applaud. ”
Suddenly, I started clapping.
Peek-a-boo.
According to the instructor, the other officers started clapping.
I don't know what's going on.
“I never thought I'd be up here in two months from 498. ”
Greatness, pride.
Such emotions were engulfing in the eyes of Instructor Pidgin.
To put it in a parable, a teacher who rejoices in the growth of a disciple. That's exactly what it looks like.
“Gangseo rate. 14th place. ”
[14th Ordinance]
At that moment, elasticity erupted around me.
“Wow!”
“Crazy.”
“It's one digit ahead. ”
I looked everywhere.
Jealousy, fear, envy, respect.
I feel all sorts of emotion explosions.
· · · · · · I don't feel bad.
“Since the founding of the Academy, the first cadet to rank at this rate has been a cadet. That's rare and remarkable. ”
The chattering grew larger.
“My stamina began to climb. It was only a matter of time before the ranking went up. ”
“Technology was better than first grade in the first place. It's game over once you're in shape. ”
I shrugged my shoulders for no reason.
“Aren't you going to be elected as a member of the National Guard for summer vacation? ”
“That's affordable. Look at the rise. ”
I smiled.
Target is on the move.
* * *
That night.
I was summoned to a private training room by Instructor Pidgin.
“Greetings.”
“Welcome. ”
As I entered the private training room, I noticed Instructor Pyeonjo, who was warming up. Your brow is covered in sweat.
Did you do any afternoon exercises?
“Phew.”
After finishing the workout, Instructor Pyeonjo stole the sweat off his face with a towel and approached me.
“I think you're in good shape. ”
“Yes, that's good. ”
“Have you been warming up? ”
“Yes, I've done a light stretch. ”
Always stretch at this time. Jia performs afternoon drills with demonstrations after stretching. This is my routine.
I was summoned by Instructor Pidgin today, but I missed my afternoon training.
“What about heavenly bodies?”
“I brought it. ”
I reached out for the carrier in my hand.
He asked me to bring it separately, so I brought it like this.
I usually keep my craftsman's liver in the forge, but I couldn't show it to him, so I put it in my carrier.
“Then we may begin immediately. ”
“Yes?”
Instructor Pidgin smiled.
“Turn off training mode. Switch to marching mode. The terrain is flat.”
[Switch to marching mode.]
I doubted my ears for a moment.
You said a duel. Now?
While embarrassed, Instructor Pidgin pulls out his sword placed next to him.
A real weapon, not a training longsword.
“It is an interim check. Bring it on.”
Instructor Pidgin grabs the sword.
At that moment, the ferocity rose.
An intangible will to defeat me even became an illusion that overwhelmed my body.
Gulp.
I swallowed a dry saliva.
Instructor Pidgin.
They are called the best instructors in the Academy.
Estimated rank is S rank.
You can rank in the top 50 in the world.
“This is exciting.”
Such a strong man is revealing his enemies to me. Exciting tremors came from all over the body.
I took out the heavenly bodies.
This was a great opportunity.
An excellent opportunity to see how much I can fight without using the Ancient Artifact.
“I'll learn a thing or two. ”
I settled down after a small baptism.
“Come. I'll defend myself. ”
“· · · · · · Aren't you overestimating? ”
“You'll see whether you're ignoring it or not. ”
“· · · · · · · Example. That's right.”
I wrapped my sword in strength.
“Here we go.”
I hit the ground at the same time.
”Boost!”
I put on my strength and swinged my sword.
Chiiiing-!
My sword flowed down the instructor's blade as it did.
It was a perfect spill.
I transformed the celestial body into a dagger. A sudden change made Instructor Pidgin's eyes sharpen.
At that moment, the path of the wind opened.
A relic of Elven assassins that predicts, knows, and shows the best of their moves.
It's a trait I like to call my own.
“· · · · · · · · What? ”
But there was no red trail in my eyes.
The path of the wind does not show the way.
The path of the wind seemed to say,
No matter what you do, you can't penetrate what's in front of you.
No matter what you do, you can't stop what's right in front of you.
This is absurd.
It was when I was so embarrassed.
“How long are you going to keep this bruised? If it were real, his head would be blown off three times. ”
“Hehe!”
I woke up to what Instructor Pidgin said.
I stabbed the dagger through the gaps.
Kang!
Instructor Pidgin unleashed his dagger.
I've changed the shape of the weapon as it is.
The shape of the sickle. If you change from this position to the shape of a curved sword, the blade will stretch and reach to the arms of the Pidgin Arc instructor.
“Hmm.”
But it didn't work.
Instructor Pidgin bowed faster than the heavenly bodies changed, as if he knew everything.
“This killed me six times. ”
My sickle didn't even touch the instructor's hair.
This time it was a whip.
He pretended to swing his sickle and changed his shape with a whip.
“Ten times. ”
It didn't work.
My whip became useless after two moves.
Next was the spear.
You use a boost on the Spiral Sphere to inflict an attack.
I would have avoided this, too.
“Gangseo. You're not the only one who can rotate the Force. ”
