The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master

However, at least in this world, humanity was considered the light and demons the darkness. airport The difference lay in the kind of power each one wielded.

Where there is light, there is always darkness.

Humans manifest blessings, while demons cast magic.

Attempting to divide everything in the world into light and darkness is a rather simplistic way of thinking.

Moreover, both blessings and magic are filled with abstract and interconnected theories that can be interpreted in various ways, making each an open field of study subject to different perspectives.

Of course, reinforcement or healing blessings are somewhat different and have their own rules, but I don’t have much information in that area; when I played Miracle Blessing M, I always went for brute force.

In fact, there’s no point in discussing those things right now, when the light is still on. avalanche Instead, one thing could be said.

To put it simply, blessings strengthen the body, whereas magic reconfigures elements to create abilities.

Even though it’s the beginning of the story, Leon, the protagonist, is about to die from a single blow by that demon fish. armor He hasn’t even had time to react.

This only highlights the immense difference in power between humans and demons.

The current situation is so dire that people will criticize it.

Ridiculously, now I find myself in a situation where I have to fight alone against one of the bosses the system has forced me to confront. portal No matter how great the protection of the God of the Sword, securing victory is difficult.

In game terms, the mermen we hunted were field monsters that only give experience; the siren demon is a boss that must be faced with a team.

No matter how much humans reinforce their bodies, it’s almost impossible for a lone human to defeat a demon capable of using magic without forming a group.

I knew certain information based on my experience playing so far, so I managed to handle it.

I fixed my gaze on the siren. admire Its entire body was covered in rough scales that looked like armor, and where there should have been teeth, there were rows of sharp fangs like a shark’s, gleaming with savage ferocity.

However, I had little understanding of demons and magic, which only appeared in the latter half of the story.

Judging by the stab wound on Leon’s side, does it seem like it’s using long-range magic with a water attribute?

I crossed a river I couldn’t go back from.

Considering all this, could I, who could only cut with a knife, be a match? canvas I was certain I could avoid most of the attacks, but what if there was one I absolutely couldn’t evade?

‘Ha, damn.’

The moderately calming tension felt like scratching an itch from the inside, and a smile appeared on my face without me even noticing.

There’s only one immediate goal. shadow Slicing that creature. zenith As I calmed down, the sudden sense of crisis began to fade gradually.

Even if I wasted time needlessly regretting my situation, nothing would change. portal No matter how fast Chloe went to get help, it would take her more than ten minutes.

I gripped the handle of my knife firmly, pushing the sheath down.

“It’s time to make some serious sashimi, after a long time.”

Then the siren tilted its head with that slick, fish-like expression.

However, the problem was that, unlike then, this opponent wasn’t human—it was a demon.

After checking his status, Speed Weapon looked toward the pond. sphere What he saw was the back of Kang Geom-Ma, holding two sashimi knives, facing the terrifying siren demon.

Speed Weapon knew how incredibly strong Kang Geom-Ma was, something he had witnessed a few days earlier in the subspace battle, where he demonstrated overwhelming speed and cutting skill.

Facing a demon in single combat wasn’t impossible, but it was only within the reach of warriors as powerful as the Heroes of the Seven Stars.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 23: Partial examination (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

No matter how skilled Kang Geom-Ma was, he couldn’t cut water with a physical weapon.

Moreover, the siren demon was a demon-level creature that would normally require the combined strength of at least three instructors to face. artist Although it wasn’t one of the most powerful demons in melee combat, the fact that it used water magic made it an extremely tricky opponent.

Kang Geom-Ma was still just an academy cadet and barely a first-year. silence Surviving even a single strike would be an accomplishment.

Speed Weapon hesitated, wondering if he should stop him.

It was simply impossible. sphere Clearly, he had lost his mind.

Rachel, with a weary expression, continued to take down the mermen, wielding her spear with determination. galaxy Speed Weapon wished he could cast reinforcement abilities on Kang Geom-Ma or Rachel, but keeping Leon on his feet was already quite taxing.

But, in the end, he decided to let him proceed and focused on his companions’ movements.

The distance between them was at least 50 meters, but just seeing it made his teeth chatter in fear.

Though it was a strange and unfamiliar feeling, he instinctively understood what it was: a magical resonance so powerful it felt as though it would shatter his bones just by being near it.

At that moment, a chilling sensation emanated from the pond, enveloping Speed Weapon’s body.

…..!

Swoosh—

As he approached, the demon siren snapped its fingers, making blue magic surge between the membranes of its fingers. album Instantly, a crescent-shaped water blade shot toward Kang Geom-Ma from the pond.

Kang Geom-Ma advanced toward the demon siren without hesitation, ignoring the oppressive atmosphere. atom In fact, it seemed as if the murderous intent was emanating from the knives he held. airport He took an agile step toward the enemy.

Once the magic was unleashed, the lush landscape of trees and woods suddenly turned into an arid plain.

Crack, crack, crack!

The trees that had grown densely around were sliced diagonally. sphere Rachel, who was dealing with a group of mermen with one hand, also reflexively turned her head. antique Surprise and fear filled her eyes.

Speed Weapon’s perplexed gaze quickly searched for the black hair. antenna His heart was pounding.

Kang Geom-Ma had vanished from sight.

She was astonished by the outrageous destructive power. atomic Perhaps due to the magic, a thick white mist spread everywhere.

Kang Geom-Ma dodged by gliding through the air, using his momentum to slip through a narrow gap between the projectiles.

Swish!

With a brief sound, Kang Geom-Ma burst through the thick water mist and charged directly at the siren. aluminum As if expecting him, the siren launched a sharp water spike.

“Kang Geom-Ma!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 23: Partial examination (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

The demon siren, though firing water projectiles like a machine gun, couldn’t land a single hit; the attacks kept smashing into the trees behind Kang Geom-Ma, shattering them.

Could anyone really react so quickly?

His movements flowed like a current of water, as if time itself slowed just for him. atlas Speed Weapon felt pride well up inside him, barely able to keep track of Geom-Ma’s shadow with his eyes.

Tap tap-

Without missing a beat, Geom-Ma quickly reversed his grip and slashed with the sashimi knife he was holding.

The crisp sound of footsteps that had been coming from the right suddenly appeared on the left.

The siren’s usually impassive expression now showed astonishment and dismay.

In seconds, Kang Geom-Ma displayed a combination of precise, rapid techniques, moving fluidly along with his opponent’s attacks.

Not only was he fast, but he also demonstrated exceptional control, adapting his movements perfectly to counter each assault.

The siren, startled and visibly losing composure, took a step back in surprise. silence Then it tried to retreat and put up a red shield.

Kang Geom-Ma advanced and spun his knife. audit The blade sliced through one of the siren’s legs, which fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Speed Weapon thought that, at this level, Kang Geom-Ma was already far beyond any cadet standard.

Even among elite heroes, his skills were exceptional.

His movements left a deep impression on Speed Weapon, who felt he was witnessing something extraordinary.

The siren’s eyes widened, and a scream echoed from between its sharp, bared teeth.

Thud-

The severed leg hit the ground with a heavy sound.

“Kyaaaak!”

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 23: Partial examination (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

Blood streamed from the wound, and the creature began to teeter to one side.

He couldn’t even count how many times Geom-Ma’s knife had struck in just a few seconds.

Speed Weapon was speechless. acoustic How could humans be this strong? amber The strength on display was so absurd it felt like an attack on reality itself.

Probably more than twenty or thirty moves.

The demon siren clutched at its severed leg, letting out a furious howl. portal At the same time, the leaves that had fallen into the muddy ground began to swirl wildly around.

“Agh!”

Just as a skilled chef masterfully handles a live fish flopping on a cutting board, Geom-Ma constantly overwhelmed the demon with precise cuts that went beyond mere power.

Sssssss—

Immediately, a magical sphere of intense blue formed, condensing the thick mist and water from the pond into a floating, glowing orb.

The creature started to tremble, then brought both hands together in front of its chest.

This attack couldn’t be blocked. auction They needed to flee immediately. advance Just then, Leon, who was lying on the ground, let out a groan and took a shaky breath.

Seeing this, Speed Weapon and Rachel realized that an attack of a whole other level was coming.

This time, it wouldn’t just change the landscape—it might alter the entire geography of the island.

Its magical power overflowed.

That he managed to regain consciousness after only a few moments of healing showed that he, too, was far from ordinary.

“Kang Geom-Ma, damn it! anchor Move, damn it, move!”

Kang Geom-Ma didn’t look back. anchor Even with his life on the line, he never turned his back to the enemy.

But at that moment, Leon’s safety wasn’t the priority.

“Geom-Ma, take down that disgusting fish!”

“What do people call someone like that? abstract A hero.”

Speed Weapon murmured to himself.

Content of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 23: Partial examination (3) published by TrungTu Reads.

“Raaaaargh!”

With her words, Geom-Ma lowered his body, readying himself for a lethal attack, as a wave of deadly energy radiated from his knives, directly facing the siren’s magic.

Rachel, nearly done with the mermen, shouted at him with a mix of urgency and confidence.

Boom, boom, boom—

Both Speed Weapon and Rachel, seeing the attack, choked back screams of terror.

With a deep, enraged voice, the siren hurled the sphere like a massive projectile.

Thick veins began to bulge in Kang Geom-Ma’s forearm, the one gripping the knife.

Whoosh—

Kang Geom-Ma lunged at the projectile with a burst of speed, feeling every fiber of his body tense up.

The blue sphere split in two, cleanly sliced right down the middle.
