Chapter 205

-At last! Once the strongest in the academy, now the vice president of Familia. The heir to the Choi Sword Family and granddaughter of the Sword Saint! The noble lily of the academy, according to the boys!

──Choi Yeon!

Entering the training room, Choi Yeon held a sword with a pure white hilt.

-Choi Yeon, Choi Yeon, Choi Yeon, Choi Yeon!

Countless people were cheering as she appeared on the screen.

It was a natural situation. A good-looking martial artist attracts attention. She will always be an icon and an idol.

Instructor Fadoyun, who has been commentating for the past two matches, also grabs the microphone with excitement.

-In fact, this match is very different from the others, and that’s because the opponent is the youngest member of the Choi Sword Family!

The students of the academy say that she is a noble flower.

-Her skill and appearance are unrivaled, especially her skill, which may have been surpassed by active heroes long ago!

Or rather, she’s been surpassing them for a while now…….

In the first place, she was the crystallization of Sword Saint who had been training her in swordsmanship.

-The opponent it’s the Paper Airplane Club, whose name means…… Alas, it’s because of the club leader’s abilities!

The Paper Airplane Club consisted of two frontliners and two rearguards, and was also one of the clubs to be most wary of today.

‘If I remember correctly, the captain’s ability here was quite troublesome.’

The ability to strengthen and manipulate the paper they touched, called ‘Paper Master’.

It’s a tricky trait to get when mixing classes, which is why some players often try to get it.

It’s safe to say that the main issue in this match would be whether Choi Yeon would be able to restrain the Paper Master.

-Despite the fact that the battle hasn’t even started yet, there’s an air of excitement in the arena! We can’t wait to see what it’s going to be like when it does, so let’s kick things off with a countdown.

Here we go!

-The final club match of the day!

If there’s one thing that all of today’s club matches had in common, it was that everyone started moving as soon as they started.

But

-Both factions are standing still and glaring at their opponents!

For some reason, the two factions in this match have not even taken a step toward each other.

“Why are they so quiet?”

The scene seemed strange to Se-ah as well.

Se-ah, who was looking at the monitor, asked me.

“They’re wary of each other.”

“……?”

“Is that so? From Choi Yeon’s perspective, there are four opponents. Rather than attacking first, it is easier to defend once and look for an opening. As for Paper Airplanes……Their opponent is Choi Yeon, right? They can’t help but be nervous.”

In other words, they were both playing it safe.

And one of the reasons for that was her……sword, which I mixed with Excalibur. I had sealed the Illusory Saint Sword.

‘Eugene. Can I take the sword I made with the one you gave me?’

‘Are you crazy?’

‘I won’t take it.’

Choi Yeon, who had somehow become a better listener since the Miner incident, agreed with me, and it was the right choice.

Since this is a match that the entire Academy is paying attention to, take out the Holy Sword here.

I mean, what’s a school, the entertainment section of Hero magazines will be flipping tomorrow.

Besides, the president will see to it that you’re the one who destroyed Vivian’s spring.

He’s still like this now, so let’s give him one more reason? I can’t help but be a nuisance.

‘So, first of all, it’s sealed. At least until we become self-reliant enough to not be swayed by such public opinion.’

Of course, that didn’t mean she had just any sword. The one Choi Yeon was holding now was no ordinary sword.

-What? There’s a chill in the air……Aah! A sudden chill! It’s the sword that Choi Yeon is holding! Choi Yeon’s sword is emitting a chill right now!

If you won’t come, I’ll make you come.

A deep blue coldness spread out from the sword that Choi Yeon was holding and began to greatly reduce the temperature of the surroundings.

That was the special ability of the sword she was holding right now. A sword that I was familiar with because she had been for a long time.

If so, then perhaps what Choi Yeon can do next is…….

“Snow Yi.”

It was a ranged attack.

-Aaah! A blue aura is flying out as Choi Yeon swings her sword! The confrontation has finally begun! How are Paper Airplanes going to deal with it!

“Paper shield.”

The guy who seemed to be the president spread his hand, and at the same time, the papers that spilled out of the bag he was carrying on his back formed a huge shield.

──Quang!

The shield shattered with a loud bang but that wasn’t the end of his attack.

-Choi Yeon’s attack was blocked by the shield! A shattered blue aura begins to spread around! Is this…… snow? It’s snowing! Snow has begun to fall in the training room!

A sword that creates the weather phenomenon of snow: Snow Maiden Sword.

One of the swords in the Sword Saint collection, it manipulated the power of snow.

-It’s starting to snow hard! Paper Airplanes! Something’s wrong! It doesn’t move! No way! No way! It’s not ordinary snow!

‘Of course it’s not.’

True to his word, the weather phenomenon unleashed by that sword was not ordinary.

The basic effect was a slowing effect. The snow created by the sword power, which is said to cause frost on the fifth day of the month, would slow down those who closed themselves in.

-Okay, let’s gather together and have a look! Choi Yeon’s move worked! Choi Yeon started moving only after everyone got debuffed! She looks like a snow leopard! It’s like seeing a leopard!

Crouching low, Choi Yeon begins to run towards the enemies at breakneck speed.

The Paper Airplane members quickly raise their swords and prepare to defend.

“Sleet.”

Aura rises from Choi Yeon’s body and begins to glow blue as it encounters the Snow Maiden Sword and gains its icy properties.

“I’ve got your back, block it!”

And at that moment, countless bells rise into the air.

“All at once!”

In response, the back row slowly moves backwards to close the distance, and the front rows begin to cross swords with Choi Yeon.

-Despite being attacked from both directions, Choi Yeon is blocking all the attacks with unbelievable movement and speed!

With an expressionless face, she blocks all the attacks and even manages to counterattack.

Of course, it’s not that easy and her counterattacks are blocked by flying papers.

It’s a medieval battle.

-It’s not working! This is coordination! This is true support! The frontliners are showing their best defense as mercenaries!

-Waaaaaaaaaah!

I can feel the arena heating up.

There’s been no real damage done, but the spectacle of the ongoing battle has been dazzling.

However it was clear who had the advantage.

“Wind Cutter!”

Kaang───!

She was facing four opponents at once, and for every move they made, she had to make four.

Even now, her stamina is being deceptively drained and her opponent is not exactly helpless.

“A little more!”

While the frontliner was holding on, looking like he was about to die from the strongest sideways slash she could muster, something extraordinary was happening behind them.

The bag kept spewing out papers, like a wizard pulling cards from his mouth.

One by one, the collected papers began to form human shapes, forming a huge army.

-The head of the Paper Airplane club, the one who made the Paper Airplane club what it is today. The trademark technique of Wang Zhong, the Paper army…ah!

Their numbers are growing and they have literally started to form an army.

Armor made of paper, swords made of paper. And soldiers made of paper.

“Pfft!”

“Crunch!”

The screams of the rows of soldiers blocking Choi Yeon were accompanied by the image of Choi Yeon, who had been obscured by the two men, appearing on the monitor.

“Haah……haah…….”

Choi Yeon looks at the scene while exhaling a white breath in the low temperature.

Her ragged breathing seemed to show her current state of physical strength.

This was a consequence of using the Snow Maiden Sword.

A weather change skill that was triggered by the caster’s physical strength was so exhausting that an ordinary person would die as soon as it was triggered.

Still, she had managed to defeat two Class E mercenaries while maintaining that condition, so that alone proved that she was ‘strong’ enough.

But…….

-Ahhhh! Choi Yeon! Will the neat lily of the valley be defeated in the end Ah!

What unfolded before my eyes was something far beyond that.

A paper army, known for being more fuel efficient than other similar traits. Usually, players would choose this talent and use it as an outrageous attacker from range.

Perhaps it was reckless to engage in a war of attrition with such a talent.

“March.”

At the leader of the Paper Airplanes, Wang Zhong’s command, the paper army began to march forward.

─! ─! ─! ─! ─! ─! ─! ─!

They beat paper drums, ride paper horses, lower their paper visors, and lower their paper lances, aiming for the last man standing.

“Charge.”

And at the same time, a pure white wave starts charging towards Choi Yeon.

She frowns slightly, looks at her sword, and takes a deep breath.

“……I don’t want to get scolded.”

-The army of paper rushes in! An army that has rallied to take down a single person! That means they have recognized Choi Yeon as a ‘one-man army’, but she is alone! A lone swordsman on the battlefield by herself! Is this the moment that proves that an individual cannot defeat an army!

“Uh, what should we do, Eugene?! Choi Yeon is going to lose like this!”

“Well, an individual can’t beat an army.”

“What?!”

Se-ah’s mouth drops open in surprise at my words.

“But a hero is different.”

“You mean……?”

“An individual cannot defeat an army. For individuals who can overcome this situation. That’s what we call it.”

‘Heroes.’

At the same time, an urgent voice came through the speakers.

-She’s running! She’s starting to run towards the front! The only way she can think of to take on the army of paper is to face it! At this rate, they’re going to crash!

Looks like she’s decided to do that after all.

“Blizzard.”

Choi Yeon, who was running forward, shouted as she raised her sword to the sky.

At the same time, a pure white sword explodes, sending a blue aura into the air. Choi Yeon then grabs the hilt of the sword, which has disappeared.

The two people in the Paper Airplane are puzzled by the scene.

-Now, it’s starting to snow hard! The camera can’t even capture the scene in the training room, and we’re barely able to see the players!

The snow starts to fall harder and harder, and the paper starts to get wet and freeze.

Blizzard: the Snow Queen’s secret weapon and special move.

It was a technique that could only be used by giving up the sword by exploding the sword spirit and scattering the coldness condensed in the sword into the air.

‘That sword was made to use that technique in the first place.’

The original skills were good, but that sword, that skill alone, had enough merit to keep.

……Although it is said that you cannot use the sword for a while until your sword body recovers after using it.

-Converted the camera to a magic detection camera! Ah! Finally a view of the inside! What is that……?!!

A strange image began to form on the screen from the inside.

An army of frozen paper as if time had stopped. And in the middle, Choi Yeon is holding a sword with her feet shoulder-width apart.

That’s right.

Attached to the hilt of her sword was a sword that should have been lost.

-The sword of student Choi Yeon is growing larger and larger! The magic power emanating from it can be felt even by me outside the training room, aaaaaaah!

It begins to grow in size, absorbing the blizzard around it.

She slowly raises her sword above her head.

Although the sound inside is muffled by the blizzard, I knew what she was going to say.

Probably, she’d bring it down and say something like this.

“Opening sword.”

──Winter.

──Split in half.
