Chapter 2:

The Sword.

The essence of swordsmanship, able to even cleaving by metal.

Simply the flexibility to unleash such formidable method granted one a place of energy among the many “Academy Heroes.”

Even within the prestigious Privia Academy, just a few people, together with the protagonist and a well-liked few with extraordinary expertise, had reached the extent of mastery in swordplay.

In that sense, Philip may very well be thought of certified to be an academy teacher.

“However strictly talking, this isn’t really mine.”

He merely acted based mostly on what his physique remembered, with out totally comprehending the depths of his capabilities.

Can one really clarify what they don’t perceive?

Philip may assert with certainty that it was unimaginable.

Whereas he may deceive the scholars to some extent, the identical couldn’t be stated for fellow instructors or professors who held greater positions.

In fact, given sufficient time, the issue may very well be solved.

Nevertheless, Philip was solely given a mere week.

Inside that timeframe, catching up mentally to the extent of his physique was almost unimaginable, if not fully so.

“If it involves this, it may be obligatory.”

One merchandise got here to Philip’s thoughts.

It may doubtlessly be a determined transfer or, maybe, the final word answer.

If every part went based on plan, Philip may purchase himself the wanted time.

* * *

It had been fairly some time since Philip performed “Academy Heroes.”

Though he was a seasoned participant who had accomplished all of the challenges, reminiscence leaks have been inevitable.

Nevertheless, there have been reminiscences that remained etched in his thoughts, refusing to fade away even in spite of everything that point.

Philip believed that a kind of reminiscences may be the important thing to saving himself.

“The place may it’s?”

In a secluded space close to the academy, on the slope of an unnamed peak that couldn’t be exactly pinpointed, Philip was looking for an merchandise.

“I’ve to seek out it in the present day at the very least. I’m actually working out of time.”

Tough branches scratched his sleeves, and cuts and scratches appeared on his uncovered palms and cheeks, however Philip didn’t cease as he rummaged by the bushes.

Luckily, Philip had a sturdy physique.

Having educated with a sword since his childhood, his physique was in distinctive form. Even when he lived a reckless way of life, it surpassed the typical particular person’s physique.

“Within the story, they all the time come to the category I’m in.”

‘They’ referred to the protagonists of this world, the playable characters, so to talk, in Philip’s phrases. Having cleared the sport a number of instances, Philip knew how necessary they have been.

In the present day was March 4th. In three days, on March seventh, the dual siblings with brown hair among the many incoming freshmen would arrive.

One in all them would positively be the protagonist of this world.

Gamers may select both the boy or the lady because the protagonist, and the unchosen one would depart the Privia Academy, changing into a disciple of Illok-seena, an incredible sage and an in depth good friend of the academy’s headmaster.

As compared, the chosen protagonist for the participant needed to endure Philip’s maliciousness all through the semester, making buddies and rising stronger, solely to confront and drive out Philip by the tip of the holiday.

Usually, Philip’s story would finish right here.The inaugural add of this chapter came about through N0v3l-B1n.

Nevertheless, Philip by no means supposed to grow to be unemployed so early.

“Neglect about not inflicting hassle, first I would like to accumulate the flexibility to show the youngsters if I don’t wish to get kicked out.”

The function of a mentor was to show. If the trainer’s instruction was unsatisfactory, it was solely pure to be expelled, and it could not be an issue brought on by the scholars.

That was why Philip was presently looking for the “Chatterbox Sword Neria,” the merchandise he wanted.

Initially, it was an merchandise that was ineffective for regular gamers. It was a trash merchandise that dramatically elevated the “stress” parameter, an important parameter, as a substitute of accelerating the “swordsmanship proficiency” at an accelerated charge.

Within the recreation, it was an merchandise that was all the time discarded on the dismantling station at any time when it was obtained. Nevertheless, Philip was in determined want of it at that second.

That was the one “Narcissistic Sword” that may very well be obtained at that cut-off date.

That sword was buried someplace on this mountain.

“Oh. Oh!”

Philip quickly found a clue concerning the Chatterbox Sword Neria.

Initially, the situation was decided randomly, however good randomness doesn’t exist in video games.

Even the spawn places adopted sure guidelines.

For a gaming fanatic like Philip, these guidelines have been extra acquainted than site visitors legal guidelines.

“I feel it was close to a rock formed like a squirrel.”

Recalling the dialogue dropped by a personality within the recreation, Philip started looking the close by space.

Quickly, he discovered a sword in a pit beneath a shallow stream. It was in a desolate state, and may very well be presumed as a rusty blade.

“So, that is the legendary…”

It was a voice that seeped into Philip’s unconscious, like a hypnotist.

Philip slowly closed his eyes.

‘What do you see?’

Philip replied absentmindedly.

“I don’t see something.”

‘That’s your future, Grasp.’

{TN:- Lol.}

“What did you say?”

‘It was simply Neria’s cute prank! Now, what do you see?’

As she stated, the as soon as darkened imaginative and prescient regularly turned hazy and sought gentle.

Quickly, a white background appeared, with a grimy flooring that stretched endlessly earlier than him.

And there, a shadow, or to be exact, an individual’s shadow appeared.

The shadow swayed randomly like a will-o’-the-wisp earlier than ultimately rising from the bottom. Then, it appeared to slowly regain its unique kind.

‘Now, what do you see?’

“… I see a lady who seems like a mercenary.”

The shadow regained its coloration and quantity, remodeling right into a mercenary girl with a pale, ashen pores and skin. She held a shortsword barely shorter than a human arm and wore leather-based armor.

‘Is she fairly?’

“She has a powerful and tough look, which seems good in a wholesome manner.”

The lady had a thick and rugged impression.

Neria snorted softly.

‘Hmph, that previous hag was like a wild boar and had no appeal. Anyway, I’m in your palms, Grasp. And that previous hag will understand you as a risk to the security of her household, buddies, and her personal survival. She’ll come at you as if to kill. What ought to we do then?’

In such a scenario, there was just one possibility.

“… We now have to battle.”

As Philip muttered these phrases, the mercenary girl fiercely swung her shortsword. The distinct fierceness of a mercenary appeared to pierce Philip’s pores and skin.

Straight away, Philip grasped the girl’s middle of gravity.

“The load is overly focused on her entrance foot, regardless of the pressure behind her strikes. With this, I’ve received.”

Within the subsequent second, Philip moved and effortlessly deflected the girl’s shortsword.

Now, he aimed for one of many girl’s uncovered vulnerabilities and swung his sword, realizing that the battle could be over.

Nevertheless, Philip couldn’t transfer the sword.

“…. Haa.”

He couldn’t catch his breath, and a shock that surpassed the phrase “ache” shook his physique and thoughts.

The mercenary girl’s proper foot had struck his groin precisely.

At that second, Philip wakened from the short-lived dream.

“….”

He didn’t scream, nor did tears movement.

He simply tightly closed his eyes and endured the ache.

Neria marveled at his superhuman willpower.

‘Are you okay?’

Philip couldn’t reply that query. He felt just like the suppressed scream would burst out the second he opened his mouth.

‘… That previous hag is Neria’s sixth proprietor. She was the weakest and most despicable proprietor amongst those that possessed Neria. She lived as a spinster till her forties, betrayed by a person she performed with at a tavern and ended up dying.’

“I didn’t wish to know all that.”

Philip, who had barely escaped from the ache, raised his head.

“So, you’re saying that I can summon those that have been your house owners in my desires and achieve fight expertise?”

‘That’s proper! For those who prepare like this throughout the remaining time, you would possibly obtain some outcomes.’

“… However the ache can’t be decreased?”

‘Neria doesn’t understand how to try this.’

Listening to the shameless voice of the Narcissistic Sword, Philip had a hunch.

It might undoubtedly be probably the most difficult week of his life.
