All-Master Player Of The Academy [EN]: Chapter 31

16. The Truth Is Always One – 1

Voladi, flustered, hurriedly recomposed the swaying shadows and covered his face.

But he had already been exposed.

-That guy is dangerous!! Kill him!!

‘He’s not an enemy to me.’

-This is no time to say that! He saw you!!

Not only that.

The moment he swung his sword, the shadow disappeared.

Voladi, feeling threatened by a phenomenon beyond his understanding, continued to shout.

But Rakid firmly shook his head.

-Stubborn bastard pretending to be noble!!

Eventually, the sweetness disappeared from Voladi’s tone.

*If I had known this would happen, I would have possessed his body while he was sleeping and caught that guy first.*

*I was too hasty because I felt impatient that the Sun Cult [a religious group worshipping the sun] might move.*

But regret always comes too late.

Besides, who would have predicted that hateful guy would cut the shadow?

-Damn it… then fall to him.

And lose consciousness.

*Then I’ll use your body to fight instead.*

Voladi didn’t say the last part and started cheering for Ian instead of Rakid, who had joined hands with him.

Unlike the two who disagreed, Ian and Kirke’s opinions matched perfectly.

‘So, I just need to fight like I’m dealing with a Blood Demon?’

If so, that’s good.

Ian slowly raised his sword.

-Woooooong!!

The sword trembled with a low vibration.

Rakid, seeing this, gripped the shadow-covered sword tightly.

Ian, smiling at him who was still only thinking about defense, slowly lowered his sword.

At that moment, the powerful move of the Demonic Divine Art [a martial art focused on harnessing demonic energy] was unleashed.

Demonic Divine Art, Chapter of the Moon.

Moon Cloud Strike.

Cloud-like energy spread from the moonlit sword.

It enveloped Rakid’s body in an instant and began to fire countless sword energies inside.

“Kuh, Keoeok…!!”

The shadow was cut, and the armor inside shattered.

When the numerous bundles of sword energy, enough to cut through even a demon’s defense, disappeared,

He was lying there, tattered and dripping with red blood.

Ian nodded as Kirke reported after assessing Rakid’s condition.

From the start, he only used enough force to knock him out without killing him.

That’s because the real thing will start now.

The blood-soaked body was covered in shadow, overflowing with malice.

The demon was forcibly squeezing into Rakid’s unconscious body.

“Foolish guy. See? You should have listened to me.”

A voice like grinding stones was heard.

A similar voice had been heard before.

“First of all, thank you. Thanks to you, I can move instead of this stupid, stone-headed guy.”

The darkness begins to grow.

The shadow reflected in the moonlight expands its domain, completely engulfing the open space.

“As a reward, I will end your miserable life.”

The shadow transforms.

The shadow transforms into the form of a giant dog with sharp teeth.

Ian, watching it, snorted as if it were absurd and gripped his sword.

It was then.

“Ian!! Are you okay?!”

Haryun shouted, bringing Aranse with him.

As he said during the day, he had Aranse stay in the dormitory.

Seeing Ian subtly nod at Haryun’s gesture, he immediately drew his sword and shouted.

“What is that?! Ian!! Dodge!!”

As an instructor, Aranse urgently shouted to evacuate the student from danger.

But even with that shout, Ian, instead of dodging.

“You have two swords, can I borrow one?”

He only showed Karza’s sword, which was completely cracked after using Moon Cloud Strike.

Aranse was dumbfounded at the sight.

And shouted as an instructor.

“It’s dangerous, so if you don’t have a weapon, step back!”

He shouted loudly at Ian and swung his sword at the charging shadow dog.

But the dog skillfully avoided the attack.

“Hehehe… pathetic. Pathetic!”

“Heup!!”

The two swords cut off the dog’s forelegs.

At the same time, the shadow scatters and disappears.

“Ha! That’s all there is to it!!”

“Hehehe… the shadows are infinite.”

The legs that had been cut off reappear.

Aranse frowned at the sight.

“Ian! What is that?!”

“It’s a demon.”

“Why is a demon coming out of the Academy?! Damn it! Haryun!! Prepare something big!!”

“Yes!!”

As he requested, Haryun immediately prepared magic.

If it’s a demon, a couple of clumsy spells won’t work.

You have to prepare a proper strong magic.

“You guys can’t handle Voladi’s power…!”

-Seogeok!!

In an instant, Ian’s cracked sword split the dog’s face.

Voladi staggered from the impact.

The attacks of others can be ignored.

But for some reason, Ian’s attack was hitting properly.

“What the hell are you!!”

The Demonic Divine Art is a martial art that can kill even gods if mastered.

Even though it’s still lacking, the Demonic Divine Art is not something that a mere demon can withstand.

Ian easily cut through Voladi’s body here and there, and frowned as he dodged to the other side.

‘I can’t use proper moves with this sword. Should I just punch him?’

“Ian!! Leave it to me!!”

Aranse swung his sword to help Ian.

But Voladi just roared.

“Annoying flies!!”

The shadow-made tail transformed into a flail and attacked Aranse.

It was when he was about to block it with his twin swords and counterattack.

Arrows flew from the Academy side.

“Keuak!! What bugs dare!!”

Voladi, hit by the flying arrows, screamed and looked at the side that fired the arrows.

The students Haryun had prepared as witnesses were running out with weapons.

“Ian, the instructor, and Haryun are fighting!”

“Kill him!!”

“May the sun take its place here!”

“May the light of the sun defeat evil here!!”

In addition, the clergy of Class C, whom Haryun had negotiated with, used divine power.

Voladi, who was almost hit by the intense light, jumped up and dodged.

And.

Ian, who aimed for the gap, cut off Voladi’s tail.

-Chaenggeurang!!

Eventually, the sword broke, and he casually threw away the handle.

“Someone give me a sword.”

“Take it!!”

Blanche shouted loudly and threw a sword.

Before, when Ian fought with the swordsman of the Sword Flower Troupe in the back alley, his power couldn’t withstand the sword.

So, he brought it just in case, and it turned out well.

-Papapak!!

As the three swords he threw were stuck nearby, Ian grabbed one of them and grinned.

“Thanks.”

“What’s this much! Guys! Attack!”

“Don’t order me! Blanche!”

“I was going to fight even if you didn’t tell me to!”

“Y, you guys…….”

The growling Class B students rushed in as a group.

The number of enemies suddenly increased, but Voladi only sneered.

Except for Ian, they were just annoying flies.

“Pathetic guys!!”

“Ice Age!!”

While Voladi was dealing with the rushing students, Haryun completed the spell.

As he raised his staff, a pure white light struck Voladi’s body.

“Kueueueuk!!”

The surrounding temperature drops and the body begins to freeze.

He tried to spread his shadow, but he couldn’t move his body easily because of the magic.

“Heoeok…….”

He was exhausted of magic because it was a full-power magic.

As Haryun collapsed, Voladi emitted a black energy at him.

-Kwaaaang!!

But that energy couldn’t hit Haryun.

It was because Ian had already taken him and dodged.

“Oh…… thanks.”

“Stay back.”

While Ian left to save Haryun, the students held Voladi in place.

Aranse was about to rush at him as well.

Seyren, one of the clergy of Class C, reached out.

“Instructor! Get blessed!”

If that’s a demon, it’s better to use blessed weapons.

At her shout, Aranse bit his lip and stopped the steps he was about to take to fight.

“Sun! Sun! May your earnestness dwell here! May the blessing of the sun dwell here!”

The blessing was formed on the two swords.

Aranse, who gripped the swords tightly, smiled.

“Thanks!”

Now, all that’s left is to catch him.

Even as he was about to join the battle, the Class B students were fighting well.

“Bind!!”

“Shield!!”

The bind that Oerina unfolded caught Voladi.

Grae Jin uses magic to block dozens of tails like falling flails.

And the other students cut off those tails.

“Hahaha!! Pathetic things!! Do you think you, who should be destroyed, can be a match for this Voladi-nim!!”

But Voladi was not afraid even with the numerical inferiority.

Rather, he only roared more violently.

There is no finishing blow.

All attacks except for the blessed attacks are ineffective.

If this continues, everyone will be defeated by that demon.

“Instructor…….”

“I will catch that demon even if it costs my life! I can’t let the students get hurt! Seyren! Give me a stronger blessing!!”

“Yes!!”

Seyren concentrated and prayed.

Her divine power was poured into the sword, and just as Aranse was about to rush out.

Blanche and Valla shouted.

“Ian!!”

“I’m ready!! Let’s blow him away!!”

The two grabbed the spear shafts and took their stances.

And Ian ran quickly towards the spear shafts they were holding.

“Uriyaaaaap!!”

“Haaaaap!!”

The two swung the spear shafts with all their might in perfect harmony.

Ian, who was shot out like an arrow using that power, drew the sword he had put in the scabbard.

Demonic Divine Art, Chapter of Destruction.

Flash.

-Chwaaaak!!

The light-like swordsmanship cut off Voladi’s neck.

“Kuaaaaa…….”

Voladi, who suffered a proper blow, begins to lose power.

As the giant shadow dog shrinks and turns into a black sphere, Aranse is flustered.

“What?! Is it already over?!”

Seyren, who gave a proper blessing to the point of exhaustion, stared blankly, and he slyly avoided her gaze.

The resolution from just now is very embarrassing.

“Huh?! What is that?!”

Voladi’s body, with his neck cut off, scatters and disappears.

And a person appeared from within.

“……Chairman Rakid?!”

Everyone was shocked to see it.

Aranse was puzzled to see him unconscious, covered in blood and full of wounds.

“But why is he so injured?”

Ian, hearing those words, threw away the broken sword and slyly avoided his gaze while comforting the exhausted students.

* * *

The sudden demon commotion did not last overnight.

But the aftermath was the problem.

“This matter. It seems difficult to handle simply.”

As Aranse said with a serious expression, Haryun agreed.

The person involved with the demon is too big.

A prince of the Scarlet Kingdom.

In addition, he is a disciple of Overlord Gust and a Master [a highly skilled individual in their field].

And the most important thing was the problem.

He is the president of the student council representing Fredon Academy.

The matter has become quite big, but will the Academy really try to punish Rakid?

They will try to protect him somehow.

While Aranse was making a serious expression, Haryun said to Ian, who was stroking Myane.

“You were right after all.”

“I told you I was right.”
