Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2)

It’s painful to admit that the one who spread that superstition (?) was none other than Ryozo, but anyway.

When something surprising happens, just point at me, Kang Geom-Ma, and you’ll more or less have the right cause…

Among my classmates, there’s a saying.

During my student days, when I entered the academy, I was forced to fight Knox.

On Avalon Island, I inevitably engaged in a bloody battle with the commander of the Fifth Corps, Agor.

‘What an injustice.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

…Looking back, it seems I only ever caused trouble.

And so, many other incidents were also inevitable.

I shot a reproachful glance at Leon. anchor Going through all those calamities was one thing.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

But if we’re talking about who’s to blame for this false reputation, it all traces back to that handsome guy.

Ssshh—

And just when I thought I was finally shaking off that fame…

Nope, of course not.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

I felt a sting on my skin.

Because, in reality, I didn’t teach Victoria anything in particular.

The stares demanded an explanation, but honestly, I had nothing to say.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Suddenly, a memory came to mind. atlas That day when Victoria, who always attended my classes in silence, stopped me at the end.

— I have a question, Lord Heavenly Sword.

Seriously, that bizarre decision was entirely her own.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Speak.’

— Then I’ll rephrase: What mindset do you carry as a hero?

— What’s the most important virtue for a hero? harbor Not idealistic stuff like altruism or a spirit of sacrifice. adjust I want to know a more realistic and personal mindset.

‘I’ve honestly never thought about it.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

‘…Nothing special, I guess…’

‘If someone really pisses me off, I make sure to crush them completely so they never rise again. canvas I guess that’s all.’

— I’m listening.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

— No.

Victoria’s resolute gaze was deeply impactful.

‘It’s not that important. riddle Just ignore it.’

—……

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Uhh…

I let out a soft sigh and turned my head aside. accent Ryozo’s unblinking stare met mine.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Then it happened.

As expected, our director never speaks without reason. acquire Maybe it’s the fate of a man married to the smartest woman in the world.

From the left, voices broke the strange silence. amber Instinctively, our eyes turned that way. ability It was the Parsy professors, covering their mouths while whispering among themselves.

Whispers.

“Totally. matrix What’s the point of making the princess, the eldest and strongest of the group, a pawn?”

“It’s clever, but clearly a bad move.”

“I don’t mind being underestimated, but if they lose after this, how do they plan to cover it? acid That’s what intrigues me more.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

I know they’re doing it on purpose, to get under our skin. abandon And I know I can’t respond with violence. absorb Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small glint. arch It was the lens of a camera, capturing the teachers’ reactions in real time.

‘Why do they do things that clearly deserve a punch?’

Sometimes, really, I don’t understand.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

‘Even this is part of the content.’

It’s always a bit embarrassing to say, but I, Kang Geom-Ma, was responsible for the ratings in this broadcast. audit The networks were betting everything on getting a shot of me.

For safety, all camera operators had been removed from the battlefield, and the cameras were now remotely controlled from somewhere else.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t a coincidence that all the logos on those cameras were in English or American.

It was ridiculous. acquire The same country that always confronts me was now watching me this closely.

In short, they would do everything possible to squeeze my image dry.

The U.S. had poured astronomical sums into this exchange event. attic That’s why all the networks were American.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Anyway, those cameras were aimed at me like arrows made of flash. echo If I made the slightest mistake, they’d have their headline for the next day.

A vein popped on my forehead. meadow My lips were sealed shut like a broken doll’s.

Crack.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

“She just did what I taught her.”

They couldn’t seal my mouth.

My stomach churned with pain. armor Even if the attention tied my hands and feet—

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

And so, I made up a lie.

‘You must win, Victoria.’

I swear I could hear my reputation tangibly plummeting.

“Well done, Victoria.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

S Saint_Ryu: How did Parsy Academy become such a strong team?

The flag war was about to begin. academy Personal weapons were banned in this exchange event.

***

It was impossible to prevent everyone from using their own skills or blessings, but if the weapons were unbalanced, the event’s purpose would be lost.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

If one side completely dominated, even if Joaquin’s reputation improved, the broadcast would become boring.

What the spectators wanted was a thrilling battle.

The Hero Association, which collaborated with American networks, was concerned about that.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

“Everyone, come over here.”

The person in charge of this task was our Speedweapon. beacon He laid out all the weapons on a long table and called the students.

The weapons were either blunt or single-edged. anxiety Since it was a friendly event, the aim was to minimize injuries.

That’s why the association had previously distributed “equal-level weapons” to all students.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Several event officials would lose their heads. arrow Of course, Speedweapon was among them.

At Joaquin Academy, which had a real subspace, that was feasible.

But if something fatal happened in Parsy, where only a simulated subspace existed—

Brrr.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’ll explain a few additional rules. abandon These weapons went through a special process. august While limbs can be cut, vital organs like the heart or neck can’t be stabbed. absorb So no serious accidents will happen… probably…”

Speedweapon broke into a cold sweat down his forearm. sphere Then, trying to stay composed, he continued.

Ji Changhyuk was alarmed.

“‘Probably,’ or…?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

“Anyway! adopt Choose the weapon you like best!”

“And our lives don’t matter?”

As soon as he said that, the students rushed over like starved beasts. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. atom Everyone wanted a weapon similar to the one they already specialized in. abstract They chose carefully, one by one, and eventually armed themselves.

“It’s dangerous to give absolute guarantees.”

He had a rugged face, a heavy gauntlet up to his forearm, and a strong build. atomic He gave off a veteran vibe. alpha He didn’t look like he was the same age.

The one who spoke first was a third-year student from Parsy.

“Pleasure to see you again, princess.”

Meanwhile, a subtle tension began to form between Victoria and another student. legend Their eyes clashed in the air like lightning.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

“Likewise.”

Victoria responded.

“…Oraeboni…?”

“Oraeboni.”

If Victoria called that man “oraeboni” (older brother), then he was undoubtedly of royal blood.

Ji Changhyuk was surprised again.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Honestly, Chaerina resembled Victoria more than he did. palette Both Victoria and Chaerina were stunningly beautiful.

Ji Changhyuk seemed to be wondering the same, as the Parsy third-year gave a crooked smile.

‘I’d heard that Parsy has many nobles and royals…’

But they looked so different it was hard to believe they were family.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Victoria pressed her lips together.

“……”

“The princess is from the maternal line, I’m from the paternal. anxiety So even though I’m closer to the throne, I don’t resemble His Majesty at all.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Just as Victoria was about to scold him, unable to hold back any longer—

“In the main line, they don’t even consider her the same blood—”

“That’s playing dirty.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

“Everything should be decided from above.”

Chaerina dropped the comment bluntly. zenith Her hair was half-tied up with a ribbon. adapt The Parsy student was momentarily dazed by her lethal beauty.

Chaerina tied her hair tightly. adjust Her lashes crossed, and her eyes gleamed darkly under the locker room lights.

“Provoking before a match. wizard That’s dirty.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

And with that, Chaerina turned away. artist The two short knives at her waist slapped against her thighs in a steady rhythm.

[1 minute remaining until the start of the flag war.]

As the broadcast began, the entire combat arena vibrated. legend Not just psychologically—the air itself trembled.

‘I must admit, U.S. technology is impressive.’

With wide shots and close-ups.

We looked up. meadow Holographic windows floated high above like a giant screen. sphere Each one showed the participants from multiple angles.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Shiiing.

Bzzzz.

They showed everything at different levels of zoom. athlete If the American network knew how to do one thing, it was capturing motion. shadow It was a visual delight.

The broadcast focused on one of the three floating islands. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. aluminum The sand strip covering the ground began to tremble.

Finally, the terrain opened, and a figure emerged. matrix With the 3D map, we could easily see each team at a glance.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Both had slender figures, giving the impression of speed. meadow Natural for a “knight,” who was responsible for mobility.

Abel muttered. accent Leon nodded and added,

“The frontmost island must be the starting line.”

The white pieces were Joaquin, the black ones Parsy. airport The flag bearers of both teams were their respective “queens” Chaerina, a first-year from Joaquin, and a second-year girl from Parsie.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

“Looks like the knights are going to be central players. silence Being able to cross an island is the equivalent of using ‘double Bifröst.’”

Ryozo chimed in.

“You can only use it once, though.”

“That’s why the knight is key in the game. arctic You never know when that ‘once only’ moment will come.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

As I nodded seriously, the broadcast echoed again.

“True.”

We more or less expected that.

[Before we begin, an urgent notice.]

[The positions of the islands will shift every 1 minute.]

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

[The flag war begins now!]

The more unpredictable factors, the less foreseeable the outcome. afford And just by looking at Parsy, it was clear they weren’t easy opponents.

Just as we were exchanging more relaxed remarks—

A metallic horn echoed throughout the arena. crystal It was the ceremonial horn “Gjallarhorn,” which sounded with solemnity.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Chaerina (white) and the second-year girl from Parsy (black) moved their lips. attic Between the islands, an iridescent arc spread—smooth yet chilling. apron It was the Bifröst.

The students from both Joaquin and Parsy launched their operations simultaneously. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

It had begun. august There wasn’t even time for the teaching staff to get nervous.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Opinions aligned. portal Ryozo agreed as well.

“But since it’s not like the subspace, you can’t kill, so a complete defeat is nearly impossible.”

The queens and pawns waited for the knights to assess the enemy’s strength before joining the battle.

“It’d be best to take them out first, then go for the central island.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

I felt an inexplicable premonition. anchor Maybe it was the sharp instinct honed by the blessing of the God of the Sword, but the mental arrows in my head were pointing elsewhere.

“Yes.”

She must’ve had a high-mobility blessing. academy In an instant, she reached another island and began creating a second Bifröst.

The girl from Parsy, on the black team, shot forward like an arrow, leaving a trail behind her.

Ryozo couldn’t finish the sentence.

“Of course. accent They won’t use the knight’s one jump right from the start…”

Because the connection point of Chaerina’s Bifröst, from the white team, completely surpassed everyone’s expectations.

The spot where Chaerina had landed sank. abstract Ji Changhyuk headed to the now-shaking island.

Boom!

Chaerina connected the black island with the one where the black pieces stood. artist Then, like lightning, she launched herself and jumped immediately.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

Seeing her leap like that in a single bound, the black team’s knight was stunned. timber The other Parsy students also looked shaken. agent No one expected her to use her “one-time-only” move from the very beginning.

“……!”

The black knight stopped creating the Bifröst just before finishing it. august She raised her weapon and took a combat stance.

Even Parsy’s instructors stood up, too absorbed in the battle. adapt The atmosphere turned tense in an instant.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 331: Academy Exchange Diary (2) by Indra Translations.

An unmatched opening.

A start so dazzling that it satisfied everyone.

The next moment, the swords of the two knights clashed. audit The sharp metallic sound rattled our eardrums.
