Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3)

Its original effect was to transfer a blessing I possessed to someone else.

The Blessing of Transference.

‘I got it in the Buffalo Dungeon—it was the first one I planned to acquire.’

Even thinking back now, it was a good decision. autumn I got a lot of use out of it. apple In terms of versatility, it was the best among all my blessings.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

However, absorbing another’s blessing or anything like that wasn’t part of its original function. arrow It’s not even documented like that in the Miracle Blessing M article on Kkowiki.

That’s how flexible the Blessing of Transference was. matrix Like a universal magnet, it stuck well to anything.

Only that I possessed another ability in addition to blessings.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Moreover, the Inverse Demon Eye had no risk or usage limitations.

‘The Inverse Demon Eye.’

Just after the Ring Demon Eye—which could distort a single “concept” and was considered the most powerful in history—mine came next in terms of being overpowered. echo It was a true demonic eye.

If I inverted the direction of transfer using it, I could turn the Blessing of Transference into a kind of absorption blessing.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Maybe it was because I hadn’t completely abandoned my humanity. absorb I respected everyone’s free will. legend That’s also why I didn’t intervene directly to eliminate the tumors of this world and left that job to the Auditore clan.

That didn’t mean I could go around stealing blessings from all the heroes in the world at will. ability The other party had to consent. alien I didn’t know why.

If the God of the Sword intervened, everything would collapse from the roots. legend And if that happened, how would I be any different from the false gods?

I try not to meddle in others’ affairs.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Knox’s unexpected proposal left me deep in thought. arch The bluish light of the moon faded into dawn, and the sun began to fill the hospital corridors with its orange warmth.

Anyway—

After a long silence, I finally spoke.

“I…”

In the sunlight’s shadow, Knox leaned against the wall.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

He stared at the burning morning. legend Meanwhile, hospital staff began arriving one by one, bringing life into the gloomy corridor.

But Knox remained silent, lost in thought.

“Kang Geom-Ma…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Kang Geom-Ma had simply shaken his head without repeating it and added this at the end.

“You really… always do the unexpected…”

— I refuse.

— Breaking Auditore’s chains is something that only Chloe can do. airport I don’t think you or I should interfere. agent Besides, thinking it through, I’m not even sure I need the Blessing of the Crow.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

That thought was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

Maybe, without realizing it, he was treating her like a child—or even as a possession.

Even his own brother hadn’t considered that.

‘Why did I try to decide something like this without even talking to Chloe…?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“……”

“Ah, ah! agent S-Sorry if I was rude. adapt I’m the attending doctor for patient Chloe in Room 412.”

Knox furrowed his brow slightly. august The woman quickly showed her ID badge.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“But if you keep taking care of the patient like this, you’ll fall ill. apple You should get some rest, or at least head downstairs for an IV.”

“No problem. accent Just doing my job.”

Her tone was full of good intentions. auction Seeing her, Knox thought, “Seems like even in the hospital affiliated with Parsy Academy, they’ve got competent medical staff.”

“…Thank you.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

A truly exceptional figure.

How could he not know?

“That doesn’t mean it goes into my pocket. afford I’m a salaried doctor at this hospital. adjust The fewer patients I have, the better—I get to go home earlier. anxiety My university professor also taught me that. alert Oh, I shouldn’t say this, sounds like I’m tarnishing her name… but she was a legend. antenna You’ve probably heard of her—Professor Cynthia.”

“If I get hospitalized, isn’t that a benefit for the hospital?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Biological mother of Saki Ryozo, the current director of the academy. echo Mother-in-law of Heavenly Sword Kang Geom-Ma.

But even without that aura of prestige, if someone had been her student, there was no reason to doubt this puppy-faced doctor’s ability. adjust That’s why she mentioned Cynthia.

“I understand.”

The divine Cynthia.

Knox uncrossed his arms and stepped away from the wall. palette The doctor looked at him, puzzled, as he turned and walked off calmly.

As her crimson lips parted slightly, Knox turned around again. atomic A red gleam flickered in his eyes.

“E-Excuse me…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Y-Yes…?”

“I’d like to ask you something.”

“This is… let’s say, a personal question…”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“If it makes you uncomfortable, you don’t have to answer.”

“How does a doctor face their patients? atomic No need to be specific.”

He hesitated, scratched his nape, and avoided her gaze. action Then, with a sigh deep enough to crack the ground, he spoke again.

“Hmm, what an interesting question. adopt How does one face patients, you say…? afford I’ve never really thought about it seriously because it seems so obvious.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

A gentle smile formed on the doctor’s lips.

“No, it’s not uncomfortable.”

“Since I specialize in rehabilitation, I think it’s about seeing the patient walk again of their own will. abandon Something like that.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“…Heh, haha.”

His sudden laughter left the doctor speechless. aluminum Knox, now standing tall, wiped the corner of his eye with his index finger and murmured:

“…Haha?”

“Ahahahahaha!”

And it was true.

The opening ceremony was even more spectacular than the main event.

That’s probably why they gilded everything to boost their participants’ morale.

Puuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Moreover, from Parsy’s perspective, losing even “Sköll and Hati” would practically seal their defeat.

The horn blared solemnly.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Unlike last time, they let in spectators.’

On both sides of the red carpet, a human corridor had formed. echo People threw flower petals at our feet in a gesture of victory’s blessing.

Amid the commotion, we made our entrance onto Parsy’s battle field.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“Wuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Since the first event, “Heroes’ Offering,” had stirred some chaos, precautions had been taken for this second tournament. acoustic To avoid unsettling the audience.

“Joaquin! echo Joaquin! artist Joaquin!”

Soon after, the terrain refilled, almost like it was regenerating.

Even my neck and ears turned red. atlas I felt like the stares alone might smother me in embarrassment.

Amid thunderous cheers, the ground in the field began to sink. orbit A massive sinkhole opened up, as large as a football stadium.

“Ladies and gentlemen! acoustic Without further ado, let’s begin Sköll and Hati!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

An elongated oval shape. shadow At its center stood sculptures resembling Egyptian gods.

What the hell were those? orbit They looked canine but—

Abel curled his lips in disbelief.

Even a stray dog would laugh.

The animal scratched behind a round ear with its hind leg. antenna The crowd clutched their chests and let out weird sighs.

It didn’t match the word “wolf” at all.

“Sooo… adorable…”

『The rules are simple! atom If participants from each academy reach the mouths of Sköll and Hati, they win!』

『Ladies and gentlemen! voyage Give it up for Sköll and Hati!』

Their names didn’t suit them.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

「Or if they manage ten laps first, that also counts as a win!」

「But first, they must complete at least one lap around the arena, right?」

Basically, it was a high-stakes game of tag. agent In Korean terms: “cops and robbers.”

“Explaining too much ruins the fun! adopt RUN! action RUN! athlete RUN! palette Let’s go already!”

“But we won’t reveal them just yet, right? beacon Let’s leave a bit to the imagination!”

It was about visibility. atomic In the last war, first and third-years from both academies had stood out. action Parsy’s second-years, on the other hand, hadn’t shined. palette So they went first.

「This event begins with the second-years!」

The official reason.

“Redeem yourselves.”

“…Huh?”

“But that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to lose.”

Her lips smiled, but not her eyes.

“If you carry the Nibelung name, you can’t afford to lose.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Abel dragged Ji Changhyuk by the collar like a sack.

‘Abel’s competitive spirit is genetic, buddy.’

They crossed the field and appeared again—initially awkward and a bit shy, then full of energy.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

‘God… I have no idea.’

「Skooooöll and Hatiiiii!」

「Begin!」

The announcer nearly bent over in excitement.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Parsy’s chariot cut through the air at shocking speed. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. atlas A wig flew off someone in the crowd.

Shweeeeeek!

How were those chubby wolves running like that!?

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

Admiration turned to confusion. timber This time, eyes turned toward the starting line.

“Lady of the Sword!?”

“…Huh? autumn Huh?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

「And here lies the charm of Sköll and Hati!」

「The white orb reflects one-twentieth the master’s power. antique The black one is the disciple’s peak power.」

The announcer burst in like he’d been waiting for it.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

「But one thing is clear: only by surpassing the halo of the master can one become a true hero!」

「To win, the disciple must exert effort, and the master must cheer them on!」

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

A completely disadvantageous event for Joaquin, where all the professors were from the “golden generation.”

He didn’t even reach one-twentieth of her.

Fair enough. aspect What they meant was that the gap between Abel and Ji Changhyuk was enormous.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 339: Tradition of the Inter-Academy Tournament (3) by Indra Translations.

“…..”

I felt a stare on my neck. canvas It was Victoria.

“Mmm.”

If Abel and Ji Changhyuk are like this—

We’ve got no hope either.

‘I know already.’
