According to mythology, it is said that these two eventually consumed the light of the world, plunging the universe into complete darkness.

Sköll and Hati.

The twin wolves that devour the sun and the moon.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

That is what Sköll and Hati symbolize.

The one who greeted me with open arms at the meeting point was Changseong Richard Mura.

They justified it by saying they had to give us a preliminary notice before the main event.

“Long time no see, Heavenly Sword!”

His gigantic muscles were still just as imposing. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com apple The buttons on his shirt looked like they were struggling to stay fastened.

Richard Murat, overwhelming power.

‘Is he aging in reverse or what?’

Siegfried von Nibelung, the Sword Master of domination.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

“Come on, let’s sit down first.”

Changseong gently pressed our shoulders, urging us to sit.

Lately, the veterans all seemed to be getting younger. portal I wasn’t sure whether to be happy or concerned. attic I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve asked myself that.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

To them, I was the embodiment of fear itself—something beyond comprehension. accent But Changseong was within the realm of what they could grasp.

Then he sat next to me and crossed his arms.

The Parsy professors, seated at a distance, looked uneasy. meadow Their attitude toward me was different.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

He was one of the strongest “within reason.” airport In fact, he probably intimidated them the most.

For the record, I don’t feel capable of subduing them with force like Changseong does.

If I applied even a bit of pressure, they’d drop dead on the spot. echo Just a hint of killing intent, and they’d die of a heart attack.

No one seriously fears a high school senior. galaxy But a senior just one year older? accent That’s a different story.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

“I’m sorry for calling you all so suddenly. riddle I apologize on behalf of the Association’s president.”

A little while later.

‘Calling Changseong was a smart move, Speedweapon.’

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s nothing serious. echo We just want to introduce a small variation to the ‘Sköll and Hati’ event.”

By his side, standing guard, was Speedweapon, eyes sharp like a hawk.

Seong Yuchang, the president of the Association, appeared.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

“What? palette Just like that?!”

“Listen to what comes next.”

As expected, Parsy’s side quickly raised objections. arrow But that was all.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

At Changseong’s firm tone, they quieted down like moles burrowing into the ground.

“……”

The former president of the Association had calmed the commotion in seconds.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

“That sounds like good news.”

“I don’t think so.”

“It is good news, yes. antique But it also means it was seen by all kinds of audiences. agent Let me ask you something, Director. canvas Do you think the Flag War was appropriate for viewers of all ages?”

“And why not?”

The director of Parsy Academy replied with a controlled tone.

But this exchange event exposed part of it, which drew global attention.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

‘I didn’t get used to it right away either.’

Some viewers were likely traumatized after witnessing the brutal reality of heroes for the first time.

For heroes, a bloody war is routine. audit Battle cries are like pop songs, the scent of blood is perfume.

But from a civilian’s perspective, it can be stomach-turning.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

Violence between humans is an implicit taboo. accent Displaying it so blatantly forced the Association, which manages all heroes, to take action.

And more and more people began to feel aversion and fear toward the cruel actions of aspiring heroes.

“We’ve been getting a flood of complaints via phone. portal Especially from parents with children in school.”

When the audience faced the truth, their vague, romantic admiration for heroes was shattered.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

“We would like the teachers to participate in the ‘Sköll and Hati’ event as well.”

“For that reason…”

Sung Yuchang leaned toward the microphone.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

Immediately, all eyes were on me. matrix I became a human dartboard under their gaze.

— If Heavenly Sword participates, won’t the balance be completely broken?!

“…?!”

Everyone gasped. legend Chairs creaked, and the echo spread through the hall.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 338: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (2) by Indra Translations.

“We knew this would cause reactions like this. armor But don’t worry. atlas We already have contingency plans for everything.”

The man who once cried and laughed while watching dramas was now becoming a real fox.

The Parsy teachers stared daggers at Sung Yuchang. agent He merely shrugged, as if he’d been expecting it.

By day, they posed as entrepreneurs under false identities.

“……”

Chloe was nearly sobbing. adjust Knox raised his hand, but dropped it to his lap and clenched his fist.

The environment could no longer withstand his energy.
