The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

There were too many—having two sashimi knives wouldn’t even be enough to take them all on. matrix Kang Geom-Ma muttered a curse.

“What is this, Ttosik’s hundred-chicken promotion? legend Why the hell are there so many damn pigeons?”

Kang Geom-Ma slid the half-drawn sashimi blade back into its sheath. academy He tried counting the number of angels but shook his head.

‘What kind of power are those bastards wielding?’

Even though he mocked them by calling them pigeons, the truth was—they were formidable foes.

But he hadn’t lost his composure to the point of denying that fact.

‘That doesn’t matter now.’

They weren’t using magic like demons. portal Instead, their arms were wrapped in white energy that looked like bandages.

What did it matter what kind of power those pigeons were using? crystal He had just witnessed a brutal massacre orchestrated by them.

Was there something like this in the game settings? riddle Kang Geom-Ma considered it for a second but quickly dismissed the thought.

The bonus reward was off the table. acid Still, his main objective—the second relic—was secured, and that would have to be enough.

Angels? beacon For heaven’s sake. beacon Compared to these things, the pigeons flocking in Seoul Plaza were actual angels. amateur Kang Geom-Ma licked his dry lips.

‘What a waste.’

At those beings who exterminated humans just for daring to live freely—and the higher entities that backed them—Kang Geom-Ma felt pure rage.

But he couldn’t just stand by watching that indiscriminate slaughter. aspect He knew all of this was an illusion. wizard Even so, he was genuinely furious.

He was observing fragments of humanity’s history as a third party. action Maybe that’s why his blood boiled even more.

Suddenly, his gaze shifted. auction A little girl was watching him, as if her soul had slipped out of her body. wizard Her hair and eyes were mint-colored, shining like fresh leaves. canvas Kang Geom-Ma gave her a soft smile.

“Huh… eh?”

“……”

“Hey, little one.”

“Me… Mesther…”

“What’s your name?”

Kang Geom-Ma smiled slightly again.

The black-haired man’s smile brought some life back to the girl’s lifeless eyes.

“Run over there.”

“Listen carefully, Mesther. apron From now on, just do exactly what I say, okay?”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 167 – An Unexpected Luck (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Mesther opened her mouth as if to say something but eventually nodded silently. abstract Her intuition told her to trust this man.

‘Ah, right.’

As he said it, Kang Geom-Ma gestured toward a pile of rocks atop a hill. alien Her legs were too short to run far. arrow At the very least, those stones with some kind of overhead cover might serve as anti-air shelter.

Just before she left, Mesther picked up the flower crown that had fallen to the ground. auction It was stained with blood, a mess. harbor She had planned to give it to her father, but that gift had lost its recipient thanks to the winged monsters.

Kang Geom-Ma was surprised. arena But he soon smiled gratefully.

“I’m giving it to you.”

“Ah…”

“What’s your name, mister?”

“Thank you. orbit I’ll put it to good use.”

The pigeons were still there, staring at him with blank eyes, like they were watching a monkey in a zoo.

“How old are you?”

“My name is Kang Geom-Ma. antenna And I’m not a mister… well, technically I am, but biologically, I’m still a teenager.”

“Stop asking and just run already.”

“It doesn’t matter. acid Everyone else is dead. voyage It’s okay if I die here too. acquire So I’m not moving until you answer me.”

Kang Geom-Ma sighed and replied.

‘She’s so young she doesn’t even grasp the situation.’

“Huh? ability You’re three years younger than me!”

“…What?”

“Seventeen.”

As she ran, she left behind the places where the elder, her neighbors, and her parents had disappeared. acid She was the only ancient who escaped the original sin.

Mesther repeated the name in her mind and took off running. riddle She knew that continuing the conversation would only interfere with the “mister” (or not?) right now.

“Kang Geom-Ma…”

‘I’ll never forget all of this.’

‘If I remember, then someday, people will know what happened here today.’

Mesther ran. album Even as her feet bled from scraping the ground, she didn’t stop.

[What are you?]

Through her clenched eyelashes, something leaked out. atlas At last, the tears she had been holding back burst out.

That’s when—

“…….”

[……!]

“Gu gu gu… Can you shut the hell up already?”

Kang Geom-Ma spoke.

The tools scattered on the ground began to float into the air.

Jagged swords, nearly worn into saws… so crude they barely counted as blades. galaxy But in terms of numbers, they lacked nothing compared to the army of angels.

“But if you want, I can tell you who I used to be until recently. wizard I used to fish. airport Though now, I’ve changed industries.”

Media rubbed around her eyes. harbor The look Changseong gave her was somewhat bitter.

“The story is mostly tied together. academy Good work, Media.”

“You’re still pushing yourself at your age. meadow When I was young, I was afraid of dying at the hands of demons, but these days, disease scares me more. adapt Though, of course, you’ll probably live much longer than I will. academy Ha ha! arch In human years, you’re barely what—twenty?”

Media sighed in frustration and continued.

“Anyway, even I don’t know exactly how the founder of the Poisons survived. airport The legends have been passed down in very fragmented pieces. galaxy The only consistent part is that, suddenly, a human appeared and stopped the divine punishment.”

“A human? amber It’s hard to imagine an ordinary human interfering with divine punishment.”

“Even so, could he not at least let his daughter know? airport They always vanish without a word. ability My sister left me in charge of the Academy and disappeared, and now Dad too… Ugh, this family’s a mess.”
