Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5)

However, on the other end of the smartphone, Choi Seol-Ah’s voice sounded choppy and frantic.

Leon received an emergency call from Choi Seol-Ah.

He was in the middle of selecting the first-year representative but was struggling to find a cadet who stood out, so he was already quite stressed.

— There’s no time to explain, just hurry…

Only the two involved knew the full details, and it was a secret they intended to take to the grave.

Choi Seol-Ah didn’t even finish her sentence before hanging up. alpha Her relationship of devotion to Kang Geom-Ma was still very much alive.

Moreover, after ten years, her gaslighting had been perfected.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

If things went wrong, her lord might become another star in the sky tonight.

Of course, Speedweapon might die in the process too, but she didn’t care.

That’s why Choi Seol-Ah warned the strongest hero she knew that her “lord’s” life was in danger.

‘At the hands of his two wives, Ryozo and Abel…’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

With that twisted villain mindset, Choi Seol-Ah conveyed the urgency of the situation to Leon.

After all, if anyone was to blame for endangering her lord, it was Speedweapon. shadow Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if he ended up a wandering spirit.

Sensing something was terribly wrong, Leon dropped everything he was doing and headed straight for the director’s office.

— You have to get here as soon as possible.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

That needle-sharp aura was unmistakably killing intent.

That was Leon’s first thought as he grabbed the doorknob. alpha Even from the outside, the atmosphere in the director’s office was unnerving.

And who could exude such intense murderous intent that even a hero-in-training would feel nervous?

‘My whole body is trembling.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Kh…!”

‘Abel and Ryozo.’

What the hell was going on in there? acoustic Leon hardened his expression and opened the door.

Involuntarily, he raised a hand to shield his eyes. matrix The concentrated killing intent hit him like a wave.

The first person he saw was Ryozo in the main seat.

She had dark circles under her eyes, and her gaze burned like ghostly flames.

Her eyes were filled with hostility as she stared ahead.

Abel’s face was no better.

Goooooo…

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

Leon turned his head as well.

Apparently, Leon’s entrance didn’t matter to them in the slightest.

All their attention was fixed on the sofa across from them.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

Speedweapon’s face was completely pale, as if he were about to die.

‘What the hell did you do, Speedweapon…? advance Uh, huh?’

Leon blinked, then his eyes widened.

His fists, resting on his thighs, trembled so violently that it was pitiful to watch.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

A face he was seeing for the first time—but at the same time, it felt oddly familiar, as if he’d seen her that very morning.

It was because of a girl.

Isn’t she identical to Kang Geom-Ma?

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

The girl gave off a sharp, metallic scent. attic It was the distinctive smell of Gehenna.

Leon, who had been born and raised in the demon realm and had only recently returned from there, recognized it immediately. aspect And then all the pieces of the situation started to fall into place.

‘You brought this on yourself, Kang Geom-Ma.’

Judging by all of that…

Flee far, to the moon where we fought a bloody war ten years ago.

At least one must survive. absorb For the sake of humanity, Leon considered it reasonable for Speedweapon to be the one to make the sacrifice.

‘Otherwise, Speedweapon will die.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

Leon was overcome with a strange sensation.

His eyes met those of the black-haired girl who was nibbling on a red bean paste snack atop the stone table.

Slide.

He had seen countless outstanding students that day.

Yet he was certain—none had eyes as profound as hers. echo There was an extraordinary potential radiating from her.

Deep, serene black eyes. abandon As if hell itself had been condensed into two orbs—it was impossible to gauge their depth.

It was because when he looked into those unrealistically beautiful eyes, it felt like his soul was being dragged into an unfathomable abyss.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Bal… du… re?”

Ryozo and Abel also turned their gazes toward Leon.

A moment of silence.

It was that kind of sixth sense only married men have, coupled with the blaring alarms of my inner divinity.

Finally, the girl spoke.

Even though I hadn’t heard all the details from Speedweapon, I could sense the gravity of the situation.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

It was the material I had waited for so long. advance I couldn’t miss the birth of my new gear. arrow I’d regret it forever.

I know it sounds crazy, but I wanted to see with my own eyes the item Speedweapon had brought from the Demon Realm.

As a first hideout, I chose Volundr’s smithy.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

I walked toward the workshop with a mix of tension and excitement. aspect Were my feelings being returned?

What could I do? adopt I’m Korean. canvas Even if I wear rags, my in-game weapon can’t look shabby.

‘The most obvious spot is the one most overlooked. atlas Even if Ryozo releases the instructors, they’ll probably ignore Volundr’s workshop.’

With that warrior DNA etched into my brain, even I couldn’t resist.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“…Huh? antique Is something wrong with your body?”

“Sorry, but I can’t take you in today.”

Volundr opened the door only partially. atomic But he didn’t let me in.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

I thought I’d taken her by surprise, but it seemed her claws had already reached this place. timber What the hell had happened for Ryozo to act so quickly?

“Wow…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Thanks, ahjussi.”

At the very least, I decided I wouldn’t return home today.

I thanked Volundr. riddle Even though he rejected me, he did it for my sake.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Heavenly Sword! apron The director requests your presence!”

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

When I turned, I saw a group of instructors running toward me through a cloud of dust. arctic They shouted desperately.

“Please, we beg you to come with us!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

Their faces were filled with discomfort and fear. action And of course, they knew, just like I did, that even as a group, they couldn’t catch me.

‘She sent instructors because she knew I wouldn’t hurt them.’

They were just following the director’s orders. apple They had no choice.

She was counting on my nature not to harm innocents. apple That was Ryozo. portal She knew her husband’s psychology perfectly. armor The number of pursuers would gradually increase, and the net would tighten. galaxy “Surrounded on all sides” was a perfect fit.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Eh?”

On top of that, the shouting and stomping in the air made everything feel even more real.

In this situation, the only person I could trust was—

“Ahjussi?”

When I looked forward again, the “CLOSE” sign was swinging like a broken pendulum on the workshop door.

Volundr apologized through the door. atomic His voice was as dry as rusted metal.

“Sorry.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

Not only did he not help hide me—he betrayed me! apron I didn’t know this old man was so selfish.

Welcome back, Burundr.

‘You’re not Volundr…’

“I’m just a small-time merchant. echo I have no choice but to follow the director’s orders. arrow It’s unfortunate, but if you made a mistake, you must fix it yourself.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Damn it! acid If you wreck it like you did Murasame, I’ll never forgive you!”

“I promise I’ll craft your weapon with everything I’ve got. afford So survive!”

Burundr tried to soothe my anger. adjust He was probably sweating more now than when forging weapons.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

I didn’t respond. acid That was my way of leaving a thorn in Volundr’s heart, so he’d pour his soul into crafting the gear. aluminum Not like either of us could keep secrets from the other anyway.

Clack.

“…You’re still hung up on that…?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

I snapped my fingers and summoned lightning magic, then leapt lightly. airport In an instant, I was high above the ground.

Bzzzzzz!

From a height brushing the clouds, I watched the instructors look up with their necks bent at impossible angles. matrix But me? arcade Worry about someone?

I murmured bitterly and snapped my fingers again.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Waaah! avalanche Heavenly Sword, we love you!”

“Isn’t that Heavenly Sword?!”

The scenery beneath my feet changed so fast it felt unreal. voyage Cadets who saw me passing could only mumble.

I turned into a streak of lightning that pierced the endless sky. shadow My movement triggered a shockwave that split the clouds and tore through the air like thunder.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

Not even Gehenna was enough to escape the perfect net woven by Ryozo and Abel.

I didn’t have time for affectionate greetings. antenna I sped up even more. matrix Though I’d already broken the sound barrier, my brain was working even faster.

‘I have to survive.’

But that would be going too far.

Ruuuuum.

I didn’t even know why Ryozo and Abel wanted to see me. august Earlier, I ran away like a thief purely by instinct, but I planned to explain everything tomorrow. echo Running too far would be the worst choice.

There was only one possible second hideout.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

I raised my internal pressure.

Remember, this is the reality of a married man.

Changing direction mid-flight at near-light speed tore my muscles. album But that was more bearable than being scolded by my wives.

So I split the clouds in two and made a U-turn toward the destination that popped into my mind.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

They say when a woman holds a grudge, it can snow even in midsummer.

Of course, that was just a metaphor. antenna The destination I had in mind was a place where it was winter all year round.

And sure enough, snowfall covered my face.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

And so, after dedicating themselves completely without concern for food or drink—

Victor Poison and Media Poison, for once, had joined forces to discuss. abstract If one had to name the three brightest minds of humanity, it would be Victor, Media, and Ryozo. august Of them, two had been immersed for days analyzing the cause of a certain phenomenon. portal The research topic was an enigma beyond the grasp of ordinary minds.

At the Antarctic research base, studies were in full swing.

The Antarctic was so remote they didn’t even know about the exchange program between Joaquin and Parsy. meadow In fact, that was the least of their concerns. accent The Poisons, father and daughter, hadn’t eaten for a week.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

The two former sages had reached a conclusion. atom But it didn’t sound hopeful.

“At last.”

“At last, yes.”

“This…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

It had all started with the youthful appearance of Sword Master and Changseong.

Media violently ruffled her topknot.

Victor Poison murmured darkly as he looked at the monitors lining the walls. crystal His daughter, beside him, also wore a grim expression.

“The reason for the increase in human longevity.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“The reason aged heroes are growing younger… is because they’re stealing the world’s life force for themselves?”

Even considering that heroes lived longer, their friends were becoming visibly younger. album Sensing something was wrong, Media had come to the Antarctic base to borrow Victor’s intellect and experience, and they’d researched intensely for a week.

And the result?

“…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

The margin of error was thinner than a hair. shadow It was Vixbig, the AI created by Ryozo, that had reached this conclusion.

— Yes.

“The world is deteriorating…”

Vixbig interjected.

— It may not be my place to say this, but…

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“We’ve already exceeded the number of scenarios measurable with numbers. sphere Vixbig, you’ve done your best.” legend Victor shook his head.

— Based on current calculations, yes. adapt But if you wish, I can keep calculating until I find another outcome.

“Then this really is an unavoidable fate?”

— This world, due to humans—or more precisely, heroes—is heading toward its most certain demise.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

— But what if ‘He’ were involved? absorb Couldn’t He change things?

“This… in other words, is an inevitable ending.”

…

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

A foolish father rushed to extinguish all hope. abandon Media, irritable from sleep deprivation, shouted.

At those words, Media reacted. autumn For a moment, light returned to her dull eyes.

“If it were him… if it were that hero of the past…”

“No matter how amazing he is, that must be impossible.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“…Media.”

“Why are you always so pessimistic?! alien Just like in the past! timber Is it because you’ve lived enough already?! timber Even if it’s me, Sieg, or Richard—do the cadets of the academy also have to perish with this world?!”

“We have to try everything we can! autumn Beg anyone who might help! shadow If there’s someone who even remotely seems capable, we must cling to him, even if only by his coat!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

But even that would soon come to an end.

This damned world, this rotten world, wouldn’t give humanity a break. amateur Even in peace, it forced crises upon them, pushing them to the brink.

Media’s eyes began to fill with tears. sphere Ever since her lackluster role in the Second Human-Demon War, she had carried that weight in her heart.

She’d spent nearly ten years convincing herself it was fine because the world was at peace. action She’d occasionally visited the Joaquin Academy and found joy in the laughter of its students.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“At least we could fight demons! auction But this apocalypse—this is something humans can’t stop! arcade Then we must turn to someone beyond human! atom We must ask a god of this era for help…!”

— Apologies for interrupting…

— There’s been an external breach.

“If you’re going to apologize, then wait a bit!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“What…?”

Media’s overheated brain froze instantly.

With a thunderous crash, a blast of snow burst into the Antarctic base.

Boom!

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

“Sorry for the sudden visit.”

Through the white haze, footsteps echoed, carrying a frigid air.

Step, step.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

A man who was essentially no different from a god in this era.

“I’ll only be staying here one day.”

The figure that stepped through the blizzard was the very name Media had been calling out so desperately.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 324: One of the Two Will Die (5) by Indra Translations.

Heavenly Sword.

The current identity of Kang Geom-Ma was that of a fugitive.
