The Academy’s Savage Swordsman

9. something like this?

“… … profit.”

“ah.”

Shoot aaa-.

The stream of urine flowed incessantly, unable to read the atmosphere. After fighting for such a long time, the orc, who couldn’t stand it, let out a scream first.

“Quooo-!”

Sweet-! After screaming, the orc immediately swung the ax in his hand. If I stayed still, my head was about to split in half, so I forgot to raise my pants and sat down straight away to avoid the axe.

Whoa! Feeling the wind pressure passing over my head, I stood up and hit the orc’s chin with my head.

Puck – With an audible plosive sound, trip over the staggering orc’s leg.

“Chwiiik-!?”

As I climbed on top of the guy who stumbled backwards, the orc lifted his back and tried to drop me——but I was too strong for that.

“sorry but.”

Aura – Cheongeunchu.

At this moment, I weigh a ton.

Even if an orc had several times the strength of a human, it was a weight that would be difficult to topple with just strength.

“A knight also learns to wrestle.”

It would be a big mistake to think that just because a knight learns swordsmanship. Knights not only practice swordsmanship, but also horseback riding, archery, tactical strategy, mercenary skills, and even wrestling in close combat.

You learn almost everything you need to fight.

Kwaaang-!

The slashing fist engulfed the orc’s face. I felt the unpleasant touch vividly through my fist, but I didn’t care and continued to hit my fist.

Kwaaang, kwaaang- kwaaang-!

When the fists hit in succession became bloodied with orc’s blood, I finally stopped the fists and exhaled.

“Whoa… … .”

I almost fainted.

Next time I’ll have to carry a sword with me when I go to the bathroom.

Taktak, I brushed off the dust and blood from my body and headed to the place where the knights were holding the corpse of the orc.

The knights who were tidying up the tent widened their eyes when they saw me dragging the bloodied orc.

“Do, Bocchan!?”

“Medicine! Bring the potion!”

The knights started to make a fuss as if it was not the orc who had become bloody but me.

After making a fuss at the knights, he tossed the orc’s corpse.

“it’s okay. Because I’m not hurt.”

“Is that so? Fortunately, the.”

“More than that—this, it was right nearby.”

The knights, who were relieved to hear that I was not hurt, soon changed their eyes again when they heard that an orc was nearby.

“… … It seems that the vigilantes are not properly vigilant.”

“What, I’ve gone a little far.”

“still.”

“it’s okay. If you have time to go after the kids, look for footprints.”

Sir Moir heard that and nodded cautiously. Yes. Now was not the time to punish those who were not vigilant and failed to notice the orc’s approach.

It was time to go punish the monsters who dared set foot in the Mayer family’s territory.

“—Please wait a moment.”

Sir Moir said so and went on a chase with some knights. It didn’t take long for the orc colony to be discovered.

* * *

“This is an orc colony discovered through the master’s hard work. Everyone, so that it can be wiped out without mistakes.”

─Nodding off. While nodding their heads without answering, the knights began to drive their horses towards the discovered orc settlement.

Beyond the forest, in the vast grassland area, there was a habitat for Orcs. There are dozens of orcs at most.

Three expert-class knights and dozens of cavalry were enough numbers to wipe them out.

“Advance.”

At Sir Leon’s command, the knights led their horses and charged. Far away, the orcs who discovered them belatedly started a quick counterattack.

Fish Woowook-!

A sharp flute sound echoes. As they heard the sound of flutes crossing the wind, the knights raised their shields.

“Archer! It’s an archer!”

“Everyone raise your shields!”

The knights who blocked the rain of arrows rode quickly toward the enemy before the next shot flew.

Naturally, I was also part of the procession. Two or three rows behind from the lead. A position protected by knights from all directions.

I didn’t think it was necessary to go this far, but the knights never left me.

“—Rumble!”

After running for a long time, the knights were able to spot an orc thrusting a spear directly at them.

The most common monster. A being with good fertility and more powerful than trained soldiers. Unlike goblins, which even farmers can hunt if prepared, they are monsters that cannot be matched unless properly trained troops.

However, the moment the knights’ lance charging touched the monsters, the orcs started to bounce in all directions like bowling pins on a bowling alley lane.

“aaah!”

“Chwiiik!”

“Cuckoo-cuckoo-!”

It was an orc with a strength that easily surpassed that of a human, but it was an existence that fell into the category of living things.

Lance charging that converted all of the horse’s kinetic energy into shock with a horse weighing over hundreds of kilograms.

Even more so, if the subject of the lance charging was a knight who had awakened an aura, this charge could not even be stopped in the middle.

“power! To Formation B!”

According to Lord Leon’s order, the knights are divided into two branches. The divided knights circled around the orcs for a while, then charged again and started wiping out the orcs.

The orcs tried to fight with iron swords they picked up somewhere, or spears made out of trees, but… … If it was a cavalry that could be blocked by that wooden spear, the existence of a knight would have gone extinct.

After beating and beating and beating again— Sir Leon, who had almost wiped out all the orcs, called me, convinced that there would be no great danger.

“Bocchan, would you like to catch it yourself?”

“directly?”

“Yes, because you use the sword yourself.”

At Sir Leon’s words, I got off the horse and approached the orc with my sword in hand. The orcs who survived the mounted charge had already lost their will to fight, but pointed their weapons at me as if they couldn’t just lose their lives.

I gazed at the orc and swung my sword. There was no tension at all.

The thing in front of me was just a frightened beast, and the swordsmanship I trained was not at an easy level enough to be blocked by such a beast.

After I decapitated the orc without any resistance, Sir Moir, who had been watching my performance, applauded and began to approach me.

clap clap-.

“I am also a Bocchan. How would you like to hunt one more?”

“… … no.”

At my words, Moir muttered, “That’s right,” and then wiped out all the remaining Orcs with his men.

He probably thought he was frozen in shock at the fact that I had cut something for the first time… … It wasn’t like that.

‘This is… … Practice?’

I knew it instinctively. The fact that you can never grow with this kind of hunting.

The actual battle I want is a clash between swords. It was a trembling battle where no one knew who would die.

It’s not a one-sided massacre.

“—Bocchan, are you okay?”

When Sir Leon, feeling something strange, spoke to me, I silently nodded my head and thought about a way to experience the real battle.

At least, it was certain that he would never be able to experience it with the knights attached by the Count.

* * *

The knights who returned to the territory after completing patrols outside the territory were greatly welcomed. Even though I didn’t have anything to do with it.

I smiled bitterly at the count who greeted me.

“ha ha ha-! yes son How was your first real fight?”

“… … It just is.”

“The first time doesn’t always feel that way. Don’t worry. You will gradually get used to it.”

“Yes, I want to rest a little now.”

“Okay, you’ll be tired, so go inside.”

Bowing my head to Count Kwuck, I unpacked my things in the room and started to rearm.

The servants wear shiny polished armor and swords, and cover them with cloaks.

He left a letter in the room. So that the ladies-in-waiting who discovered that I was missing would not be surprised.

‘Dad, I’m sorry.’

I believed that even the count would understand me if he were a knight. After leaving the letter, I headed straight to the stable.

When he dragged a horse with strong stamina because he hadn’t gone on an expedition, the stable keeper heard the sound of the horse screaming and jumped out.

“young master? Why are you talking at night… … .”

“Because I feel like I want to run for a while.”

“Ah, yes. Okay. Then you know… … .”

As the lord’s only son, he couldn’t have the strength to refuse my horse, and the stable keeper willingly lent me a horse.

I got on the horse and immediately grabbed the reins and started to leave the manor. The gatekeepers, who should have blocked the entrance, slowly approached and opened the door as if they had no choice but to say that they were going for a walk.

‘The sentry is the same here too.’

How could a mere soldier stop the general’s son from going out for a walk? Especially if the son is not an ignorant and stupid child, but an expert-class knight.

After escaping out of the territory without any problems, I turned my direction towards the north.

‘If you go there… … I can go through it.’

The most dangerous area in the Empire.

A land of severe cold where barbarians invade every day.

In the northern part, where only warriors who can survive today and those who can’t survive live, I will be able to experience the actual battle I want.

‘I don’t think I’m going to my mother-in-law’s house after a long time.’

So I took a compass, a cloak, and a sword and headed north.

Until they reached the Cold North, the family’s pursuers did not come.

* * *

Early moning. The Count realized that the house was strangely noisy.

Quietly leaving the room and standing in the hallway, I see maids moving around busily.

‘what?’

It wasn’t the usual maids-in-waiting, so the Count caught one of the ladies-in-waiting who was walking down the street and stopped her.

The lady-in-waiting, stopped by the count, made an expression as if the world had collapsed, and then began to tremble.

“What’s been going on since morning, uproar.”

“Bae, Count. that, that… … .”

“that is?”

“Ka-Mister Kyle… … .”

Kyle, the moment the name of my son came up, the Count felt his eyes roll.

Grabbing and pulling the maid by the shoulder, the maid screamed in pain and came along to the Count.

“—Why Kyle?”

“Go, you have run away.”

“… … what?”

After hearing the maid’s words, the Count thought he had heard it wrong. However, the lady-in-waiting opened her mouth again as if he hadn’t heard it wrong.

“You left a letter in your room and ran away—Bae, Count!? Count!”

“ooo!”

Hearing that his son had run away, the count sat down holding the back of his neck.

The lady-in-waiting screamed as she supported the fallen count.
