The Failed Swordsman Who Became the Strongest After Spamming the 100 Million Years Button

210. Entrance Exam and Valentines Day [7]

I contacted sensei through the transceiver in order to deal with the trouble that occured unexpectedly.

「This is Leia. What happened?」

There was a quick response from sensei who was on standby in the director’s office.

「Excuse me. There seems to be a couple of juniors from Gran Swordsmanship Academy with personal grudge, so…」

「I see. Then, beat em’ up. Over.」

Along with that short answer, the communication was cut off.

「No, beating them up is…」

I dropped my shoulder in response to that overly reckless answer.

(That sound, it’s most likely that…)

Just before the communication was cut off, I heard a sound of a piece of paper being turned over.

I’m sure she’s simply absorbed in reading this week’s issue of Weekly Shonen Yaiba.

(It’s an important entrance exam and yet, she’s still the same as usual…)

And when I was sighing alone,

「What should we do, Allen?」

「After this, you have an important job of supervising the Special Exam. If you’d like, shall we clean this up?」

Ria and Rose asked for instructions in whispers.

「Let’s see… I’ll take care of this.」

Their target now is『Allen Rodore from Gran Swordsmanship Academy』.

If Ria and Rose drive that trio away here, they will stand in front of me again someday.

I have to properly cut off the ties of my past in this place.

「Well then… Shall we get started?」

I took a step forward and signified my intention to fight.

(Sensei also said, “Beat em’ up”, so let’s finish it early.)

There’s only about five minutes to 9 a.m, which is the start time of the exam.

If I spend too much time on this, the schedule will be pushed back.

I don’t want to put any more burden on the examinees who are already nervous as is.

When I was thinking about that,

「Heh! I’ll expose your true identity painted with lies in front of this large number of people here. Dropout Swordsman Allen Rodore!」

「You damn bottom feeder of Gran Swordsmanship Academy! Trying to act brave isn’t going to save you!」

「Our dear Dodriel-senpai’s revenge! We’ll beat you up until you become a rag cloth, and expose you to everyone!」

They threw foul words one after another and created a nasty atmosphere.

「We are fellow swordsmen. Why don’t we talk with our『sword』instead of『mouth』?」

I slowly said, while giving off slight bloodlust.

「「「……!?」」」

The three of them turned pale and staggered back.

「T-That’s just a bluff! Don’t get caught in that swidler’s words! We’ll bring him down right away!」

「「Y-Yeah!」」

They raised their voices as though motivating themselves.

「Flare -〈Flame Axe〉!」

「Blow -〈Wind Kid〉!」

「Slay -〈Triple Blade〉!」

They deployed their soul dress all at once.

「That’s amazing.」

To think they manifested it of their own strength without taking soul dress classes.

It seems that these three have talent which cannot be compared with me.

「Hehe, are you surprised?」

「Yeah, I’m surprised.」

When I gave my honest impression, anger was reflected in their eyes.

「Guh, let’s see how long you can keep up that confident act!!!」

「Don’t underestimate us, you dropout trash swordsman!!!」

「DIEEEE!」

The three of them raised a loud roar and attacked simultaneously.

From the right side, sharp upwards wind slash.

From the left side, three-bladed diagonal slash.

And, from the front, a downwards slash clad in scorching red flames.

Simultaneous attacks unleashed from three directions.

(But not enough training…)

First of all, their grip is soft.

The step in is shallow.

The slashes don’t contain their body weight.

They seem to have neglected the most basic training in swordsmanship – practice swings – because they reached the enormous power of『soul dress』.

Thinking absentmindedly about that, I slowly reached out to my sword fastened on the right side of my waist.

And the instant when the three sharp attacks approached before my nose tip,

「Seventh Sword – Instant Flash」

Godspeed Iai-slash, which cut the sound barrier, ran through the world.

「Wha!?」

「Ha?」

「What the hell… is this…!?」

The slash easily snapped the three soul dresses, and the sword blades slowly fell to the ground.

They stood petrified with a shocked expression as the sound of the blades hitting the ground echoed.

「It would be helpful if you could surrender, what do you say?」

A match between swordsmen is a serious battle.

However, it is not desirable to launch further attacks in the state where the match is clearly decided.

If it is possible, I would rather they leave quietly as it is.

「Shit…!」

「It’s not a trick…!?」

「Remember this…!」

They ran away at full speed, each in a different reaction.

(Fuu, I somehow managed to settle that.)

When I slowly turned around feeling relieved in my heart,

「F-Fast… I couldn’t even see the sword being pulled out!」

「Being that confident with three soul dress users as the opponents… He is on a completely different level.」

「Man, that was amazing… 『The Strongest First-Year Swordsman』is not just for show.」

The examinees who were watching the current battle grew astir.

「To grab the hearts of the examinees with just one strike… That’s Allen for you!」

「Fuu… Those three seem to have been quite useful in that regard.」

Ria and Rose said, with a relieved expression on their faces.

「Ahaha. Well, I’m glad it ended safely without any incident.」

In this way, I cut off the ties that continued from the Gran Swordsmanship Academy, and began to explain this year’s『special examination』that I will carry out from now on.
