Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6)

And he was a stubborn old man who stuck to his philosophy no matter what.

That’s how, even though his disciple flat-out refused to go, he ended up dragging him all the way to the sea in front of Tongyeong.

In the kitchen, there exists something superior to the chef—and its name is the ingredient. album That was one of the chief’s favorite sayings.

“Idiot, do you think the West Sea and the South Sea are the same?”

“Let’s just go to Oido, Oido instead!”

“In the end, it’s all just water, who cares where it’s from!”

“I’d like to deny it, but today you hit the exact point I wanted to teach you, so I have no comeback. crystal Anyway, let’s go. afford The morning at sea starts earlier than on land.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

That’s how, several hours later, the salty sea breeze greeted me.

– You’ve been kidnapped.

…..!

The chief said it all with just a look.

“Eh… all of a sudden…?”

“Would you mind letting us borrow the boat for a bit?”

As soon as we arrived in Tongyeong, the chief went straight up to a fisherman preparing to set out.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“You’re not bringing barrels or anything shady, are you?”

“I’ll pay you properly.”

The boat owner hesitated for a long time, net in hand, but finally agreed. admire I guess it was the aura the chief gave off.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“…Everyone says that before they board.”

“Do you know where this salty seawater comes from?”

“Of course not. ability The guy with me is my disciple.”

The boat’s stern gently sliced through the water’s scales, but my stomach wasn’t faring as smoothly. album It was my first time ever on a boat, and I ended up puking everything I ate the day before.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Being dragged out to sea was unfair enough already…

“Uuugh!”

The chief asked just like that, as if it didn’t matter that his disciple was on the verge of dying.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

What a cruel man. ability Unlike the kind words he would later receive, the Founding Hero was someone so hard you wouldn’t get blood even if you stabbed him.

“I don’t know where it comes from, but I do know it just left my stomach.”

Just the thought that he was about to start one of his corny philosophies made my stomach turn even more.

“….”

“Master, have you gone insane? album That’s why I told you to stop drinking. legend I, your concerned disciple, am so worried the sea breeze is making my eyes blur.”

I earned a smack right on the head (+1). anxiety Only then, seeing his disciple was ready to listen seriously, the chief continued.

“Rivers, streams, brooks, pipes, even the sky. arch Every flow of water moves and moves until it reaches the sea.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

He was so moved he almost died right then.

The Founding Hero gave a gesture to calm him down.

In that moment, the beloved disciple received an even harder blow as a gift.

Behind the chief, the boat’s captain frantically searched for any barrels. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

At the time, I thought he was just trying to sound profound.

“In the end, everything comes together in one place. atom That’s what you need to understand.”

And then, with the aura of a sage, he said, mixing in classical Chinese.

“Manryugwijong (만류귀종).”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Are you suggesting I sign up for a funeral plan?”

Anyway.

With a thump, the boat shook, and the seagulls flew off in a panic.

Now—only now—this clumsy disciple finally understands that the chief’s words weren’t just to sound cool.

I, Kang Geom-Ma, savor those words once again.

“You nap no matter the time, huh?”

They said it was top quality, but that didn’t mean it suited my body. beacon Especially not for someone like me, who’s lived a life using cheap stuff.

That was the first thing I spat out as soon as I woke up.

“Maybe I should change the bed…?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

But it came out raspy, like I’d swallowed sand.

I muttered it out loud.

Still, I was glad I had met the chef in my dream, even if the end of the dream had been a bit strange.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

It was the weekend.

Even the crowded Joaquin Academy, always full of people, had at least one day of rest.

I pressed on my throbbing temples as I got out of bed.

Since Ryozo was sleeping deeply beside me, I got dressed and left the bedroom as quietly as possible. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

No idea.

That absurd rule was something Ryozo had abolished.

The weekend atmosphere was very different from my days as a cadet. action Back then, the rules didn’t even allow us to leave the grounds during weekends.

Why?

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

I can only guess it had something to do with her past. attic She spent her childhood like a princess locked in a tower, thanks to the pressure from Kojima, the Absolute Archer.

That’s why she gave freedom to the cadets. agent If I had to compare Ryozo to a season, she’d be April. anxiety Even if she seems cold like an April breeze, deep down she has a warm heart.

‘Ryozo must have hated that.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

‘Back when I was a cadet, I wasn’t this popular.’

I started walking aimlessly around the academy.

Every now and then, cadets who passed by let out squeals when they saw me. anxiety I returned their greetings with a polite wave, and they melted with excitement.

Anyway, it’s the title that makes the man.

The air still carried a faint scent of winter, quite chilly still. agent But you could tell spring equinox had already passed.

“March flew by.”

I gave a wry smile and kept walking, leaving the girls behind.

I unsheathed them just a few centimeters. altitude The blade came out easily.

Slide.

As I walked, staring at the bare branches of the trees, I unconsciously pulled Murasame and Eternal Frost from my clothes.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

It’s time to let it go. apron It deserves it, after all it’s done so far.

I had been sharpening it every time I had a spare moment. anxiety Eternal Frost wasn’t made to be a weapon. portal It was just a very expensive sashimi knife.

‘I still use it because it was a gift. aspect Besides, I’ve never been the kind to throw away things I grow attached to.’

That was because it had worn thin.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Since the class placement exam, I hadn’t stopped using the dual style, and now I couldn’t feel comfortable with just one blade.

Dual wielding had become my signature style. palette It wasn’t something I chose willingly. canvas If the chief had seen me, he would’ve yelled at me for playing with knives, but oh well.

“But using only Murasame makes me feel like I’m abandoning my left hand.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

‘What should I do…?’

Finding a replacement wouldn’t be hard. armor After all, I was a Seven Star Hero. sphere I could buy an S-rank weapon with a single order.

Eternal Frost had weakened after so many battles. amateur The fault was with its clumsy owner.

Like I mentioned earlier—just because something is good for others doesn’t mean it’s good for me.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

After all, I’m the God of the Sword.

In fact, I value the time shared more than performance.

Whether it’s S or A-rank weapons, they all feel the same to me. galaxy B-rank was already crossing a line. anchor And honestly, talking about weapon ranks didn’t even make sense in my case.

When a blade touches my hands, even a Daiso sashimi knife becomes an EX-rank weapon.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Haven’t heard his greeting in a while.”

But this is just selfishness. aluminum A petty wish to have a new sword to replace Eternal Frost.

And with that, I changed my direction.

To users of Miracle Blessing M, he’s a figure of love and hate.

The blacksmith, Volundr.

But Koreans never forget when someone gives them something and then takes it back. canvas That gets remembered for generations.

He thinks he’s made up for it by helping me so much since then.

At least for me, though, the scale tips more toward “love” than “hate.” altitude Not to say I feel no resentment—I’m still a bit bitter over the time he totally wrecked Murasame’s classification.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Clang! silence Clang!

I hadn’t even entered yet, but I could already feel the floor shaking from the vibrations. august What strength for a man in his seventies.

Loud metal bangs echoed through the air.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Volundr paused mid-swing, hammer held high. abstract He squinted.

When he recognized me, he raised both hands in cheerful greeting.

“You here, ahjussi?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“You’re still as shameless as you were in your teens.”

“Yes, yes. auction I’ve graced your humble corner with my illustrious presence.”

“What’s someone so important doing in a humble place like this?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

His muscular arms didn’t look like those of an old man. palette The sweat gave them a special shine.

“And you’re still the same as always. atomic Hope you’ll still be like this in twenty or thirty years.”

He wiped off the soot with a grin.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Even if I’m being sentimental, I want Volundr to stay by my side for a long, long time.

I grabbed a chair and sat down. riddle Since I’d come unannounced in the middle of his work, Volundr kept hammering the metal.

I watched as iron turned to steel while I spoke.

For some reason, that made me happy. altitude Watching someone close grow old can be a heavy feeling.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“You used to wear a suit and be called ‘President.’ What made you come back to the forge?”

“So how long do you plan to keep working in this forge? amber Volundr Forge is at its peak. voyage You used to go on and on about money, and now you’re still hammering away.”

As a smith constantly working with fire, his eyesight was getting worse by the day. alpha That’s why he hadn’t recognized me right away.

I said it out of concern.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“When I put it on, I realized it didn’t fit.”

“Then at least take on an apprentice. anchor It’s not good for someone your age to work this hard.”

Volundr quenched the steel in water. arctic The steam condensed in droplets along his wrinkles.

“I’m saying this because I care.”

“If you came here just to make an old man feel useless, go back the way you came, Heavenly Sword. beacon When you’re old, there’s no time to waste.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Instead of worrying about me, worry about the world. orbit You’re the one in a position to do that, Heavenly Sword.”

“…Sharp as ever.”

Every word from this artisan carried immense weight. advance That’s how the chief was, and so is Volundr.

“Don’t tell me someone as busy as you came here just to say hi. antique What brought you here? antenna Don’t waste my remaining seconds on pleasantries.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Volundr was indifferent about small talk, but when it came to metal, his eyes lit up. accent A blacksmith’s heart never cools.

I had no choice but to tell him. airport Eternal Frost had reached the end of its life, and I needed a new weapon.

“Making a weapon isn’t hard. afford With my skill, I can make an S-grade weapon easily.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

He didn’t stop hammering.

“Exactly the same.”

“What matters is the material. abstract You worked in a Japanese restaurant once, didn’t you? advance What did the chef always say? altitude Probably the same as me.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“What do you think is the best material for a weapon?”

“The material has to be good. alpha Even if they call it S-grade, the quality depends on what’s used.”

He nodded, reminiscing.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

To explain it better as an outsider—

“That’s a broad question, so I can’t give a single answer. matrix But in my experience, there are two main criteria. artist First, it must be extremely rare in this world. galaxy Second, it must be closely tied to life.”

The reason rarity matters is because the world of Miracle Blessing M is based on a game (a mobile gacha game).

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Naturally, rarer materials improve a weapon’s performance more than common ones.

He also explained the second reason. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

While Volundr explained it in technical terms, I interpreted it with gamer logic.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

The closer it is to life, the stronger the connection and synchronization with the hero.

“A weapon isn’t just a blade.”

It was more like a living organism that responded to a hero’s unique blessing.

The rarer and more tied to life it is, the better the material.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Hard to imagine anything rarer than dragon scales.”

A weapon needs an aura of mystery. apron If it can be explained by science or becomes too common, it loses that mystique. avalanche Even if the composition is the same, its effect drops drastically.

“But finding something that meets both conditions is extremely difficult. adjust The first one alone is already tough. arrow Dragon scales, for example, were once a precious material. adopt But now that human-demon relations have improved, they’re no longer rare. harbor There’s even smuggling.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Exactly.”

Volundr finally set down his hammer. meadow He sat beside me, refreshed himself with some makgeolli, and sighed.

“…And what would you do if someone asked for your underwear?”

“Still, nothing beats dragon scales. avalanche So bring me at least one. adopt I heard you have a good relationship with the Dragon Lord. galaxy Ask him for a scale, even if it’s just one.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Then the dragon would roast us with fire breath.”

“I’d bash their head in with a hammer.”

“Either way, dragon breath isn’t much of a threat to you.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Just when things were calming between the human and demon worlds, I’m about to ruin it all.”

Volundr joked lightheartedly.

“You’re practically endangering humanity out of greed.”

“I’ve always wanted to forge a weapon with an ancient dragon’s scale.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

He said it like it was nothing. airport But without meaning to, his words hit me deeply.

A world where even non-heroes can live in peace.

“What danger? apron You’re here, aren’t you?”

“Hey, could you use an egg as material?”

I ignored his sarcasm.

“If it meets those conditions, even cow dung could be weaponized.”

At that moment, he was on a mission in Gehenna as a representative of the Hero Association. agent In other words, they had sent him to do the dirty work. altitude And I was about to pile on even more.

When the call ended, Speedweapon looked visibly confused, and Deputy Director Kim from the exploration team tapped him on the shoulder.

I immediately called Speedweapon.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“Huh?!”

“Ah, ah. harbor The President. alert No, Kang Geom-Ma.”

“Who called you, boss?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon said it without thinking, and Kim quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

“It’s not that big a deal.”

“I’m… I’m a fan!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon sighed so deeply that even the weeds on the ground seemed to bend over.

That was Gehenna for you. portal A place so worn out that even the grass wilted at a human sigh.

“I hope you don’t forget it’s me who evaluates your performance, Deputy Director Kim.”

“No, I’m not talking about you, boss. ability I’m a fan of the Heavenly Sword!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

“What did the Heavenly Sword say?”

He didn’t elaborate.

“He asked me to bring him something.”

“Y-yes…”

Kim didn’t ask for details. harbor He hesitated a bit, then wisely went off to help prepare the equipment.

“Let’s prepare it right away.”

“For the president to have less work, the Hero Association needs to put in more effort.”

They had already established camps scattered throughout various zones of the Demon Realm.

He and his exploration team were setting up camp. apple These weren’t the old-fashioned kinds of tents.

Speedweapon looked around. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

He thought it was a demon, but as it got closer, he saw it wasn’t. antenna The black dot was a human girl.

If she had been an elf, she would’ve had pointed ears; if a vampire, her skin would’ve been pale.

He murmured to himself, when, in the distance, he spotted a black dot on the horizon. legend It was moving slowly, but clearly heading toward them.

As the silhouette became clearer, Speedweapon was startled. orbit The others didn’t seem to have noticed yet.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon was a healer. accent His blessing gave him the ability to sense the difference between humans and demons.

“A-are you okay? matrix No, more importantly, why are you here?”

He extended his perception toward her, and the answer was clear she was human.

Speedweapon was the first to move. agent He approached the girl quickly and spoke to her.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

When their eyes met, Speedweapon’s eyes went wide open.

That she was beautiful wasn’t the issue. accent What mattered was that her eyes were identical to those of a “certain person” he had just spoken with on the phone.

The girl was wearing mismatched clothes, thrown on carelessly.

She walked past without replying, but at his persistence, she looked up.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 318: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (6) by Indra Translations.

‘President… don’t tell me…!’

As Speedweapon put on his best expression of shock, the girl’s perfectly shaped lips began to move.

Was this the reason he traveled so frequently between the human world and the Demon Realm?
