Chapter 92: The Hardworking Genius!
Chapter 92: The Hardworking Genius!
Shillong and Arman went their separate ways after arriving at General Sword Academy,
Arman went to the academy to continue his practice with the coach, while Shillong unlocked a separate practice field.
Shillong began to experiment with various moves.
Testing the fatality of “Sword Qi”.
The target of the experiment is the ironwood pillars around.
These pillars are inserted into the ground one by one. They are two meters long, and each has a different diameter. Some are only a few centimeters thick, while others are ten to twenty thicker.
He started the test when at the range of 10 meters away from the ironwood pillar.
In Dragonborn state, with his full strength, the Sword Qi that he slashed out was not very effective. Its depth was probably a few millimeters deeper.
This sort of slash, on the battlefield, will only tear leather and cloth armor, it will be ineffective against plate-armored fighters.
Afterward, he started thinking of other fancy moves.
He is different from ordinary warriors. Although he doesn’t know how to use their secret moves, he is still proficient in magic!
Be it arcane or elemental spells, his attainments are not of a low level!
This leaves him with a vast room to operate and manipulate his attacks.
He merged his Sword Qi slash with the wind blade spell to form a “Wind Blade Slash” so that the Sword Qi’s lethality becomes stronger!
It could make a 2~3 cm hole on the 10-meters-away ironwood pillar!
This level of damage is enough to cut the plate armor and inflict fatal damage!
This Wind Blade Slash seemed to be a trigger, after which Shillong’s brain opened up to trying various slashes.
For example, flame slash, and freezing slash. These two slashes, in terms of damage, are not even as good as ordinary sword slashing. But with flame and freezing damage, they become very interesting!
“Well, very fancy!”
Then Shillong worked on developing a slash that combined his three forces.
For example, Gravity Slash: at the moment when the sword is slashed, gravity is applied to the Sword Qi, so that the power of the sword slash becomes much greater than before.
And attaching a wind blade to it would make it powerful enough to cut off a piece of ironwood that is 7 or 8 centimeters thick.
These moves are all fancy, as they belong to weaklings!
However, as a giant dragon, the energy in Shillong’s body is more versatile. Like high-level monsters, his energy can be freely transformed into magic power and Battle Qi.
When he uses Battle QI, the lethal force of his gravity sword is enough to cut off a 15 cm ironwood pillar.
Shillong enjoyed it. Although, strictly speaking, the swordsmanship and spells he learned were quite weak!
They are not helpful in terms of combat power!
The reason he learned spells is that he wanted to establish a basic level and use this knowledge to create a magical version of the game console.
He practiced swordsmanship so as to slightly increase his combat power in his Dragonborn form.
When encountering a real battle against a strong enemy, he still has to change back to his main body. His main sources of combat power at this time are naturally his super-speed, super-strength, indestructible defense, nuclear dragon breath, and the three innate gravity abilities.
Practicing until noon, Shillong heard the sound of someone knocking outside the door.
Because he managed to have this practice field for himself alone. People outside cannot enter without the consent of those insides.
Shillong walked to the door, opened it, and looked outside. Arman was standing there in pain…
His originally handsome face was bruised. Obviously, he was “taught” enough by the coach.
He gently covered his face and said, “It’s lunch time! Let’s go, Shillong! Let’s go to the cafeteria for a meal! I heard that the food here is pretty good!”
“A meal?” Shillong frowned unconsciously.
‘It must be expensive! It costs a silver coin a day here to charter a practice field!’
‘There is no reason for the food in this place to be unreasonably cheap!’
‘And the purpose of Arman’s coming is definitely not pure!’
‘He must be trying to get money for a meal!’
‘𝔅𝔞𝔰𝔱𝔞𝔯𝔡! You’re also a tycoon with the value of tens of thousands of gold coins! How dare you try to take advantage of me! Don’t you feel ashamed?’
‘Do you want to take control over my money?’
‘Son of a 𝔟𝔦𝔱𝔠𝔥! Well, not really… I raised you for nothing! I gave you so much money, yet you don’t know how to honor your elder brother. You want me to pay for your food all day long!’’
“Go and eat by yourself! I won’t go.” Shillong rebuffed.
“What? Do you refuse to eat? Human food is so great!” Arman was a little surprised!
‘Has he seen through my plan?’’
“It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not! As you see, my demand for food is relatively low, so I just have to eat only a small bit!”
Shillong finished speaking, took out a few hard brown loaves of bread directly from his space ring, and then stuffed them into his mouth.
His fangs clicked like he was chewing hardwood, as swallowed a piece of brown bread.
“Would you like to eat it? Although it doesn’t taste very good!” Shillong smiled and handed another piece of brown bread to Arman.
“………..”
‘𝔉𝔲𝔠𝔨 me! you are vicious!’
‘You prefer eating brown bread over inviting me to dinner!’
“Nah, enjoy your meal! I’ll just go to the cafeteria to eat by myself!” Arman expressionlessly refused Shillong’s kindness and then left.
’You brat think I cannot see through you? You, eating a nice meal? No way!’
Shillong smiled internally, picked up a piece of brown bread and nibbled it up, then entered the door to continue practicing.
This was all seen by a student who was a few dozen meters away.
He was also on the temporary team and was shocked when he saw Shillong’s strength yesterday.
At the same time, there was some resentment in his heart!
Because he thought that this Dragonborn is so talented and strong because of the genetics of his parents!
And that if he exchanges places with him, he can also do everything Shillong does!
It’s just luck, right?
Not really; the scene this student saw today has shaken his view about Shillong!
This Dragonborn… is different from everyone else!
He is a genius who really loves swordsmanship!
Many stories appeared in the student’s mind instantly, he even brainstormed a story about Shillong too!
‘This is a Dragonborn who is struggling to live!’
‘Although born with supernatural power, he doesn’t know how to be a good swordsman. So, the poor man can only use the money he earns from his hard work to sign up and learn here!’
‘In order to learn high-strength skills, he spends all his money on tuition, using it to practice!’
‘Look at him! He can’t bear to buy some decent food!’
‘He is clearly strong, but he can only afford brown bread!’
‘Look how hard it is for him, what resilience he has, what an iron will!’
‘He is simply a model of my generation!’
‘His nobility makes me ashamed!’
‘I was born into a rich family arbitrarily, but my effort is not as good as one-tenth of hiss!’
‘Shame on me!’
Caesar announced! ‘You will be my goal in the future! I must use the same effort as you and learn from you!’
‘It’s decided! After lunch, my lunch break is canceled! I’ll keep practicing for the next hour and a half!’
‘Run 5 laps in the playground first! Then chop the iron stake 100 times! Then do 100 leapfrogs…’
‘After school, I will look for Peter! Practice with him!’
‘That’s it!’
Caesar nodded secretly and left with a resolute face. Unknown to everybody, this was the event that led to the rise of one of the most powerful swordsmen in the kingdom.
General Sword Academy, because it is divided into three different groups: Star group, Lunar group, and Solar group, their economic status is very different.
So the canteen is also divided into three floors.
The first floor is the dining place of Star Group.
The meals provided here are of good quality and low price.
There was no miscellaneous food like brown bread though.
The cheapest thing you could find here is sweet white bread. White bread is sold for 5 copper coins outside, but only 2 copper coins here!
Complete cost price!
