The current president, Sung Yuchang, was similar to Richard Mura in some ways, but far more demanding in others.

So passing Changseong’s standards meant being truly recognized. anchor It was a badge of honor.

With his hero’s solid jawline and designer’s sharp eyes, he scrutinized heroes without missing a single detail.

When it came to raw physical level, he was even more uncompromising than the Master of the Sword.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

To him, the most important quality in evaluating people was ‘tact.’

Without any blessing, he had climbed to the top — and for that, his name would go down in history.

Sung Yuchang was the first president of the Association who wasn’t a hero since its founding.

Deputy Director Kim recalled the day of her interview. alert Sung Yuchang had personally conducted it and gave her this advice.

— No matter how talented a hero is, if they don’t have tact, they’ll die early.

‘Why is that?’

‘Ah, I see…’

In any case, everyone in this camp had passed the scrutiny of both presidents.

They were people who could gauge another’s strength at a glance.

“Thank you…”

In short, the current exploration unit, including Deputy Director Kim, was an elite team, made up exclusively of individuals who had cleared the standards of both Association presidents.

“First, drink this hot cocoa.”

Deputy Director Kim looked at the girl with a face of total defeat.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

The shock and sense of loss were overwhelming.

‘I thought at least I had a chance to be his third…’

“What do you mean by that…?”

That’s how madness manifested when one’s devotion to Kang Geom-Ma went too far.

But because it’s such a primitive form, it offered Homo sapiens an inexplicable sense of security.

One might ask what’s the point of making a campfire in the 21st century.

Although some members of the team grumbled that it was a waste of time, at least Speedweapon didn’t think so.

— If we already have heating, what’s the point of the campfire?!

— Damn boss! voyage Labor abuse!

“How’s the cocoa taste?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

“Ah… It’s your first time having cocoa.”

“Aaah! silence No need to apologize! arctic It’s totally normal!”

“Uh… sorry.”

But nature doesn’t change easily.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

A virtue that, as a healer, he had to maintain even as an adult.

It was pure kindness, without any hidden motive.

Speedweapon treated the woman with infinite gentleness.

“…It’s tasty…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

What truly caught Speedweapon and the entire exploration team’s attention was…

Her way of speaking was a bit awkward, but considering the place where they met, it didn’t seem strange.

At first glance, one might assume the woman was haughty. antique But after talking with her a bit, she turned out to be very shy.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

She was like a copy of Kang Geom-Ma. timber The same shiny black hair and unreadable dark eyes.

The woman’s face.

‘She looks like him.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Hm? admire But now that I think about it, does she really look like him aside from the hair and eye color?

Just a smile from her and boys her age would probably forget how to breathe.

‘The president is handsome too, but this girl has an unreal beauty. echo She’s in her prime as a teenager, she could compete with Abel or Ryozo.’

Of course, there was a difference she was so beautifully proportioned it inspired awe.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

‘No, she does resemble him.’

In this world, the only person who matched those two traits was Kang Geom-Ma. academy (Yu Sein also had black hair and eyes, but bleached his hair whenever he could, so only Kang Geom-Ma knew it was naturally black.)

He shook his head.

A girl shrouded in mystery. august A human wandering Gehenna was rare enough on its own.

And on top of that, she shared physical features with Kang Geom-Ma.

The firelight’s shadows seemed like arrows pointing at her.

Amid the fire’s crackle, Speedweapon spoke again. adopt The girl slowly turned her gaze.

“Do you know Kang Geom-Ma?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

She mouthed the syllables. meadow Everyone’s eyes locked on her lips. academy But in the end, she shook her head.

“Geom, Ma… I don’t know him.”

“Yes. crystal He’s a friend of mine. sphere You look so much like him that I wanted to ask if you were related. aluminum I don’t know your situation, but it’s not common for a human to wander around the Demon Realm. echo I’m just asking just in case, so feel free to answer.”

“Geom… Ma…?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Of course she couldn’t be Kang Geom-Ma’s daughter. ability Just by looking, she was in her late teens. accent That would mean Geom-Ma had a daughter at age ten.

Just thinking about it made that theory crumble instantly. portal What intrigued Speedweapon was the relationship between Kang Geom-Ma and this girl.

“I see… well, that’s to be expected.”

Does that even make sense?

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

She didn’t seem to be lying. auction Even if it was his first time seeing her, he could tell.

‘But she doesn’t know?’

Speedweapon was someone even Sung Yuchang acknowledged for his keen insight.

Surely there was some connection.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon scratched his eyebrow. athlete Since the Second Great War Against the Demons, the Academy had severely restricted outsider access.

The girl’s reaction was pure—only someone with a clean mind could respond like that. athlete He didn’t even need to guess; she truly didn’t seem to know Kang Geom-Ma.

‘The best would be to let them meet.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

‘…But I can’t exactly summon Kang Geom-Ma to the Demon Realm or its outskirts…’

So it was understandable that the Academy had become more conservative.

He came to help him with his tasks, but ended up adding more. auction Wasn’t there a more practical solution?

With good reason. amateur The Joaquin incident, among others, showed that whenever outsiders entered, trouble followed.

She was right behind him.

“Chief.”

“Ah! galaxy Damn it!”

“…Am I ugly?”

“…”

“What now? legend Why so quiet?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

“Ack!”

“Let go! autumn Let me go! crystal I told you to let go!”

“What if we enroll her in the Academy?”

Because he had come to the same conclusion.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

She didn’t seem interested, nor did she intend to follow the conversation.

“But you know. ability To get into Joaquin Academy, you need to manifest a Blessing. adjust Or at least show something similar.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon looked back at A.

He’d gotten so wrapped up in the possible connection between the girl and Kang Geom-Ma that he forgot the most basic point.

Seen that way, it made sense.

“Come on, Chief. atlas How could a regular human get lost in Gehenna? alpha If even the current cadets came to the Demon Realm, they’d end up coughing blood.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon hesitated for a long time.

“Besides, you’re the Chief. apple If you get President Sung’s approval, everything will go smoothly.”

What if he admitted someone into the Academy surrounded by so many unknowns, and something went wrong? matrix He’d take full responsibility.

‘But even so…’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Taking her to the Association would be worse. alert The Research Department and the administrative office were totally different. anchor If they said they found her in Gehenna, she’d be sent straight to the research wing. advance Even Speedweapon didn’t know what might happen to her there.

He didn’t take long to decide.

“Hey.”

“What’s your name?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

The girl hesitated, biting her lower lip, then answered clearly.

Speedweapon was a hero—and a healer. arctic It was his role to protect and shelter others.

“Rina. altitude My name is Rina.”

Although Ryozo and Media worked tirelessly, the academy had been nearly destroyed after the Second Great War Against the Demons.

For such a suggestion to be made about an institution with so much history and tradition, the situation must have been truly dire.

The revival of Joaquin Academy is a relatively recent achievement.

Some even proposed relocating its headquarters.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Thanks to that, they successfully attracted investments (especially since they had received less funding from nobles). timber With pride, they rebuilt Joaquin Academy.

Both of them took action. abandon Even Kang Geom-Ma and other acquaintances joined the effort.

They argued that such a step could be seen as humanity’s surrender.

The two directors firmly rejected the idea of moving it.

As soon as the decision was made, they united under a common will to found a new academy. apron Thanks to the generous investment of nobles dissatisfied with the directors, the construction was completed in just one year.

Parsy Academy.

And they did.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

Perhaps that’s why the current Joaquin Academy, despite being at its strongest, was seeing a drop in enrollment rates.

With only ten years of history, it hadn’t yet produced notable results, but that very fact pushed them to aggressively recruit students.

‘I could understand up to that point.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 319: The Transfer Student is a Singularity (7) by Indra Translations.

But those bastards went and caused a scandal.

Moreover, the exodus of noble and special-admission students helped ease internal tensions. auction Many of those who considered themselves superior had gone to Parsy. palette Annoying, yes, but there was a silver lining.

Joaquin Academy was the legacy of the Sword Master. athlete Even though competition was annoying, it was tolerable. acquire After all, it wasn’t the only academy in the world.

Leon was also summoned for having been my direct opponent. silence It was the decision of our dear director, Saki Ryozo, ever thoughtful.

Leon, I, and the entire staff started the day with a morning assembly. apron No one had time to be surprised by my presence they were too busy injecting coffee into their veins.

They summoned me even though I only had a temporary role as a professor.

“Parsy Academy sent a request yesterday. anchor They want to organize an ‘academic exchange’ with us…”

Just as the tension began to build, President Sung of the Association appeared with an announcement.

“That’s exactly what it sounds like.”

“Weren’t they the same ones begging Heavenly Sword not to punish them? voyage Now they think they’re hot stuff just because they’ve improved a little?”

“They’re challenging us!”

“Those bastards! admire When they stole our students, we let it go! amateur And now this!? afford This is a declaration of war with no titles or ranks!”

I am that man. echo The one who guarantees the staff’s right to rest.

My patience ran out too. accent The uproar ended the moment I stood up.

“You’re not going to head over there directly, right?”

President Sung looked at me cautiously.
