Academy’s Genius Swordsman English Chapter 3


 

4. Asher the Coward (2)

#4

“W-what was that just now?”

Asher did not understand what had happened to him. For a moment, the flow of mana was blocked and the magic was released. It felt as if the string she was pulling tightly had suddenly snapped.

“huh? “It was definitely magic…”

“I don’t know either.”

Ronan shrugged. I’m not trying to rip you off, I really didn’t know.

He was able to cut down the mana. It was when he was working as a punitive soldier that he realized his abilities. He didn’t tell anyone because he thought it would be annoying at the time.

Ronan was hinting that it was thanks to this ability that he alone was able to seriously injure Ahayute. He may have had other abilities at work that he didn’t even know about.

‘Unraveling the secrets of this ability will be one of the tasks given to me.’

Ronan tapped Asher on the shoulder.

“Come out here at night in three days. “Around the time the moon rises.”

“huh?”

“If it doesn’t come out, what will happen, you know?”

Ronan left those words and started walking away. Asher shouted something from behind, but she ignored her. If he’s in his right mind, he’ll come out.

“Damn, I wasted too much time.”

Ronan first stopped by the river to wash the blood off his face and hands. At the market, he bought new clothes, changed them, and picked some daffodils blooming on the side of the road.

Eventually, he arrived in front of a small house built on the outskirts of the village. Ivy vines grew thickly and covered the exterior walls, which looked attractive.

Ronan took a deep breath without realizing it. He felt a tension that he had never felt before on a battlefield or in front of monsters.

Beyond this door is Iril. His sister, whom he had not seen once since leaving home at the age of seventeen, eventually lost her life in the invasion of giants.

“Ha…let’s calm down…”

Ronan reached out to pull the doorknob. All you had to do was pull it, but it wasn’t easy.

Suddenly, the bouquet of flowers in my left hand caught my eye. Ten yellow and white daffodils were beautifully harmonized. It was Iril’s favorite flower.

Suddenly I felt ridiculous. Damn it, I’m not even a virgin confessing my love.

The car was about to turn around to throw away the daffodils.

“oh? Ronan!”

The door burst open and a woman appeared. She was a stunning beauty who was just taking off her girlhood and transitioning into her young lady self.

“You came in quickly today! did you eat?”

“uh? Uh…yeah…no.”

Ronan, who saw the bright smile, froze. Her hair, cascading down to her shoulders, was a bluish-silver color like starlight. Her fair skin, unburnt even under the spring sun, reminded her of a snowy field without even a trace of her footprints.

“It just worked out well. “I just made some stew.”

As expected, Iril was wearing an apron with various stains on it. She exclaimed as she looked at her daffodil in Ronan’s hand, smiling brightly.

“oh! “What about that flower?!”

“Yes···?”

“Did you bring it for me? pretty!”

“No… it’s not that in particular… I’m glad you said it’s pretty.”

Ronan looked at his sister’s face as she handed her the daffodils. Her clear, large eyes had the same sunset color as Ronan.

She buried her face in a flower bud and was happy like a child, but suddenly she hugged Ronan.

“What’s wrong with my prickly little brother? thank you!”

At that moment, an indescribable emotion swirled in Ronan’s heart. My sister was just as I remembered. A person who gives strength just by being around him and is like the sun that shines on all people.

Suddenly, his vision became blurry, so he wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

“Hey, Mr.”

“what? What got in your eye? “My sister will take care of you, come here.”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“Don’t do that, just take a quick look.”

There was a height difference of about a head, so Iril had to stand on tiptoe. Ronan shook off her touch and went into her house, using the excuse that he was hungry.

****

“I ate well. it was tasty.”

“Wow! What day is it really today? “I hear everything from Ronan that it’s delicious!”

Ronan put down his spoon neatly. The wooden bowl was clean and empty. The rough potato stew that Iril made was tastier than any of the delicacies he had eaten before returning.

“sister. “How old am I?”

“huh? “Because I am twenty-two years old this year…”

Ronan, who had heard his age, nodded. She was a year younger than expected. Judging by the time he left the village in his previous life, there were approximately ten years left until the advent of the giants.

“No, just. “I don’t remember much.”

“What, there’s something else I forgot! It really hurts somewhere, right? “Maybe I ate something wrong, like a mushroom in the forest…”

“no.”

Iril groaned anxiously and alternately touched Ronan’s forehead with his own. There was something strange about her sister today, not only because she picked her favorite flower out of nowhere. She was a child who was picky about everything and even bothered to breathe.

“By the way, sister.”

“yes?”

Ronan said, scooping up another ladleful of stew. This was my third bowl.

“I want to go to the academy.”

“uh?”

Iril looked at Ronan dumbfounded. It was so sudden that she momentarily forgot what her sister had said.

What did he say? Did you lose your sheep again? No, what did the Academy do…Academy…Academy…

She practically jumped up and screamed.

“What? “You want to go to the academy?!”

“It’s a surprise.”

“Say that again, Ronan, okay? Did you say you were going to go to the academy? really? really? really?”

“huh.”

“Aaaah!”

Iril let out a happy exclamation and hugged his younger brother’s neck. It was the moment her lifelong dream came true. Kisses were poured on Ronan’s cheek three times per second.

“I knew this day would come someday! I believed it! “You will be good at anything because you have talent!”

“thank you.”

“Which way are you going? Is it also a knight academy? Knight Ronan! awesome! Or the surprisingly common National Academies? It’s good to be an intellectual! Of course, no matter what, your sister is on your side! Oh, look at my mind!”

Iril was able to regain his senses only when Ronan finished the fourth bowl. Out of nowhere she started rummaging through her jar next to the fireplace.

Iril came out again and found a heavy sack in his hand.

“ruler! Take it, Ronan! “It’s all yours now!”

There was a clanking sound of metal coming from the sealed bag. Ronan knew that that small sack contained most of the money his sister had ever earned.

Iril was whining as he placed the sack on the table, his eyes shining brightly. I guess that means go ahead and open it.

But Ronan shook his head.

“It’s okay, use it, sister.”

“What? But this is yes…”

“It’s tuition, right? Thank you so much, but I’ll just accept your heart. “There is no way to get to the place I want to go with this.”

“What are you thinking about? “You’ve saved up quite a lot since then, right?”

The pale cheeks were cutely swollen. Ronan put his sack back into the jar and opened his mouth.

“Imperial Phileon Academy.”

Iril’s already large eyes grew even wider.

****
[If you want to learn, go to Phileon.]

These were the words left by Adeshan. Imperial Phileon Academy. Also known as Phileon.

Located at the heart of the archipelago, this leading educational institution was a building of status second only to the Imperial Palace. Excellent faculty recruited from all over the continent and the imperial family’s enormous capital created a factory that produced great people beyond simply a prestigious academy.

Even Ronan, who had no connection to academics, knew the value of having graduated from Phileon.

“Of course… there were many useful people from Phileon.”

Ronan, who was reflecting on his memories, muttered as if he understood. General Adeshan, swordsman Schlieffen, and even the Winter Witch, known as the worst criminal in the empire, were also from Phileon.

There are ten years left.

Considering the mission built on Ronan’s back, it was a time that could not be said to be long. It was a mission I took on unexpectedly, but I had no intention of turning away from it.

He remembered the last moment. Hundreds of giants descending, tearing the sky. I had no idea how strong I would have to be to deal with them.

So Ronan decided to enter Phileon Academy, just as Adeshan said. This is because I decided that I could learn ‘how’ to become stronger even if I didn’t know ‘how much’. He also had a dream of attending the academy.

“Anyway, was it that surprising?”

I still haven’t forgotten Iril’s expression. He would not have been more surprised if he had declared that he would be emperor. Although she gave Ronan her blessing for his future, she did not seem to think that he would be able to enter Phileon.

Ronan wanted to make his sister happy when they met again. So on the third day after his return, he left the house early in the morning and started climbing the hill. He was carrying two backpacks on his back that could fit even a small child.

“oh.”

Before long, a boy wearing a light robe was seen dozing off, leaning against an oak tree. When Ronan clapped three times, the boy stood up in surprise.

“You came out on time, Marcel. “Honestly, I’m surprised.”

“ah! Ugh… that’s Asher.”

“The little boy is picky. Now, why did I ask you to come?”

“Uh… um… are you interested in my abilities?”

“I guess it’s because I’m a wizard, but I have a good head. Now, take it.”

“uh? “What!”

Ronan took off a backpack and threw it to Asher. I was scared because she was bulky, but it was lighter than I expected.

“W-what is this?”

“A pocket to hold dreams and hopes.”

Asher took a quick look at his backpack. It contained about a dozen thick and thin sacks. I had no idea where it was going to be used.

“May I ask what this has to do with my abilities?”

“Just follow me. “Because the raft is ready.”

“A raft?”

Asher followed Ronan, carrying his backpack. At the river’s edge, there was a raft tied to a rope that I had never seen before.

It had a very ugly appearance and seemed to be specialized for diving rather than sailing. Asher opened his eyes and looked around, but there was only one raft.

“get on.”

When Ronan said that while pointing at the raft with his thumb, Asher felt like he really wanted to cry.

****

The raft glided along with the current. The full moon was shining on the river and the two boys. Asher was curled up next to his backpack, staring at the still water.

“It’s a shame I didn’t bring a fishing rod. “The grilled mullet here is amazing.”

Ronan said, blowing white smoke from his mouth. A thin cigarette pipe was held between his thumb and index finger.

“Yes. I know.”

“Stop stuttering. “Are you afraid I might cut you into pieces and throw you into the river?”

“Ah Okay. “I won’t stutter.”

“You’re stuttering again. “Do you want to be a bitch?”

Hans’ sword was hanging on Ronan’s waist. Asher swallowed his saliva. He knew that Ronan had cut off Hans’ ear with nothing more than a shepherd’s pole.

“sorry. “I really won’t stutter.”

“Yeah man, you can do it. Straighten her shoulders a bit too. “I’m not tall because I’m so intimidated by everything.”

“huh. “But where are we going?”

“It’s a nice place. “A place where you can develop practical skills and make money.”

Asher tilted his head. I couldn’t really understand what was being said.

“money? “What money?”

“Tuition. Oh, didn’t I tell you? “You have to go to the academy.”

“Academy?”

“Yes, with me. “If I remember correctly, I will easily earn my first semester’s tuition with this one-time payment.”
