Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2)

“Entering Joaquin Academy means the path to success in life has opened up for you.”

But with a simple diploma from Joaquin Academy, not only was a job secured, but a successful career was guaranteed. acoustic That’s why high-ranking noble families never let go of the rope called Joaquin.

“I guess I’ll have to inherit the family business.”

“That’s what I’m saying… In the past, hero agencies at least organized job fairs. antique But now there’s not even a whisper.”

“…What are we going to do with our lives after graduation?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

But they were also hero candidates. armor They were thirsty for combat. altitude They weren’t the type to cling to self-preservation.

Easy to say from a place of privilege. shadow Even if they didn’t find a job, at least they wouldn’t have to risk their lives on the front lines.

“Was the cause of the Parsy disaster clarified? crystal Could it be that the Third Great Human-Demon War is about to break out?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“I looked it up and they say it’s still unknown. adjust Besides, it was an enemy that even the Heavenly Sword struggled with. atlas Do you really think it’ll be our turn? academy They’ll probably stop it at the Seven Stars line.”

A third-year student asked with a hint of hope. afford His classmate, scratching the smartphone screen with a nail, replied.

“That’s true… The Heavenly Sword is incredible, but he’s so incredible that our turn never comes.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“Such a first-world problem.”

“That’s why…”

“Exactly! sphere With the Heavenly Sword as such a high-performance filter, we at the bottom can only suck our thumbs.”

Still, very few showed interest, even though the site was particularly large.

As it was a mega-project that had spanned ten years, the construction noise had become a daily part of the students’ environment.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

The boy’s eyes sparkled with childlike curiosity.

“What? adopt There?”

“They say that place is for the graduate school.”

Princess Victoria had attended class for the first time in a long while.

Tap, tap.

What would Victoria do during that undefined period of vacancy? arena The third-years were split between concern and curiosity as loyal subjects.

‘What will the princess do after graduation?’

The current emperor was still in good health and held his authority firmly. arena Unless there was an unexpected twist, he would continue to rule easily for another ten years.

Victoria walked past the students. autumn Along the way, the boy noticed a pamphlet she was holding.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“South Korea’s construction capability is the beeeeeest in the world—!”

That phrase shouted with excitement by the Korean construction company president… was true.

Who would’ve imagined they’d progress this fast?

“The speed is impressive, but what’s even crazier is the safety. acid They haven’t even poured the concrete, and it already looks like you could run an obstacle course there.”

I had to tilt my neck back painfully to look up. abstract A crane moved quickly, transporting metal structures. anchor Speedweapon, who had come to visit, stood next to me watching.

“You see it too?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

Flutter.

But even with that, they couldn’t have achieved such speed and safety.

Company H, contracted by Abel, deployed all its accumulated experience without reservation. album Now I understood why, for seemingly impossible projects abroad, Korea was used as the trump card.

“Anyone would see it. acquire We’ve got a good show today.”

“Ryozo made a massive decision. voyage They’re bringing in construction materials via warp transport from subspace. academy If the elders found out, they’d be up in arms. anchor But they’re gone now. agent And by the way, your sashimi was so good it killed me.”

Ryozo made a bold choice to transport the materials through a warp from subspace.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“…I don’t want to admit it easily, but I can’t deny it. agent Not even with same-sized Lego blocks could you do this in such a short time.”

“This is Korea’s construction power.”

“How the hell are they building so fast?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

Just as Speedweapon said. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

‘They raised the whole structure in just fifteen days.’

“Well said.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

In another fifteen, we’d cut the ribbon (with sashimi) in front of the finished building. altitude An unprecedented feat that would leave the U.S. shocked, China stunned, and Japan green with envy.

Isn’t that decision too reckless? altitude Surely there would be critics accusing Ryozo of acting arbitrarily and carelessly. altitude However, Ryozo judged that, at least for now, it was okay to ease up. avalanche After all, don’t we live in an era of peace?

‘Though it’s also true that we don’t know when the end might come.’

Flutter.

Flutter flutter flutter.

The Joaquin Graduate School is that first step. ability Preparation for the end begins here, in this land. artist In the Great Republic of Korea.

Based on what Yu Sein and I have experienced, the end of the world can’t be prevented with simple precautions. altitude Instead of band-aids, fundamental preparation is needed.

“Abel’s worried because she says you’re obsessed with a weird NouTube channel lately.”

Speedweapon’s gaze sharpened.

“President.”

I looked away from the construction site. afford Then I walked away with Speedweapon, keeping enough distance not to interrupt the conversation.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

I defended myself.

“Those videos with cheap thumbnails. alpha It’s a full-on cheap-patriotism channel.”

“What channel?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“What do you think?”

“That’s what everyone who watches it says…”

“To be honest, you seem like an old man.”

“Not at all. arrow It’s a current affairs and general knowledge channel.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

And this is the shameless guy I have to talk to.

….Hmm.

“We haven’t even hit thirty yet. riddle Those videos are for when you’re old and don’t produce dopamine anymore.”

“Could you hit me hard?”

“Eh, it was a joke! abstract A joke!”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“Are you aware that within the Association, something weird is also being sensed in the transmission?”

“You mean the magical energy flow? amateur Yeah. artist Everyone from chief rank and above knows. anchor And they take it seriously.”

“Same thing’s happening at Joaquin. atomic But since it’s an educational institution, instead of just taking it seriously, we want to go a step further.”

Speedweapon quickly placed his hands on the helmet. galaxy I laughed before continuing.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“It’s not something you can learn just because it’s taught, but at least we want students to understand the concept. apron That’s why I took advantage of the Emperor.”

“…That’s why you want to teach it?”

I shrugged.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“And just a minute ago, you were complaining it was all shallow patriotism.”

“Haha, I got carried away by Korean cinema.”

“President, you’ve got it all planned, huh?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

Thanks to that, I felt like my vision and hearing were sharper. atom As the noise faded, the world seemed clearer.

We strolled leisurely through the Academy while talking. matrix After seeing the raised construction, the other buildings seemed low.

We exchanged knowing smiles. avalanche This is the Korean spirit. artist Anyway.

“Then I’ll ask for support with the material review staff. academy Instructor Choi… I mean, Kim. timber I still get confused. riddle I’ll demand she change her name soon. athlete How long does she plan to live under an alias?”

“The work on the instructional materials is being done by some teachers interested in magic, along with Instructor Kim. arch (Choi Seol-Ah)”

“If you need more personnel from the Association, let me know. timber Lately, we’re the organization with the most contact with Gehenna. atom I’ll do what I can to help.”

It was an unexpected gain. agent I nodded gladly.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“Lately, that instructor hasn’t stopped complaining to me, my ears hurt.”

“That must be exhausting…”

“What did she say?”

“That she writes ten times more than a web novel author.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“…It seems the materials are coming along well. anxiety But there’s something more important.”

Speedweapon looked at me with a face full of things he wanted to say but ultimately just let out a deep sigh.

“Is it really that much? orbit Ten times more than a web novel… isn’t that just 50,000 characters a day?”

“I know.”

“Does such a person exist? airport The Swordmaster and the vice president of the Association hate magic. athlete Besides, they don’t even understand it well.”

Quality professors. armor They must have extensive knowledge of magic and also the charisma to handle modern-day slaves.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

I smiled proudly.

“Right. academy That’s why Ryozo was racking her brains too, so I’m the one who solved the problem.”

“The person who agreed to take charge arrives today.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“Where do you think you’re going? matrix Stay.”

“Ah, then I’ll take my leave.”

“I’m with the Association. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors. portal Is it okay for me to stay?”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

I led the puzzled Speedweapon to the agreed meeting spot. atom We arrived at the special guest reception room. arctic Usually, when the Heavenly Sword or the Swordmaster visits, they are received here.

In the center of the room, a chair.

“It’s someone the Association wouldn’t mind seeing.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

‘But I’ve never seen anyone like this…’

Under thick eyebrows, eyes glowed with a reddish light. absorb Just by looking at that gaze, it was clear this wasn’t an ordinary person. audit A middle-aged man was waiting for us.

Speedweapon tensed. meadow As a promise of the Association, he had seen the faces of many important figures.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

Could he be from the imperial side? portal If he’s one of those who live hidden under a veil, it would make sense not to know him.

“Thanks for coming from so far.”

While moistening his lips, Kang Geom-Ma greeted him with a wave.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“This is my friend, Speedweapon.”

At first glance, the man seemed older than the President, but he spoke respectfully. atomic Maybe his rank or position wasn’t that high. apron That eased Speedweapon a bit.

“It’s nothing. auction If the call comes from the Heavenly Sword, of course I’ll attend.”

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

“Nice to meet you. aluminum I’m Speedweapon, affiliated with the Association.”

“Pleasure. acid I’m Valerion.”

Kang Geom-Ma introduced him.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

He must’ve been teased for that name. antenna What kind of father names his son after an ancient dragon…?

‘Although, to be fair, our boss has the character Ma (demon) in his name, so we can’t talk much.’

Wow.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

Then he noticed. accent That man’s pupils were vertical.

But only for a moment. adapt Kang Geom-Ma and the middle-aged man were watching him in silence.

Speedweapon’s eyes showed a hint of compassion.

Translation of The Academy’s Sashimi Sword Master - Chapter 373: Graduate Program at Joaquin (2) by Indra Translations.

Can a human’s eyes even be like that?

Hmm?
