The Swordmaster Wants To Live Peacefully [EN]: Chapter 233

Swordmaster Wants to Live in Peace – 232

Veronica (2)

“She’s the one who will spar with you today.”

“It’s Veronica! You little brats!”

Yuseongwoo introduced Veronica to the others.

A reincarnator who chased Yuseongwoo from another world to Earth.

Veronica, the Violet Radiance Sword Star.

A master who reached the realm of mastery, a true powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of humanity.

The divers standing before them now couldn’t even dream of reaching that realm; she was a being on Yuseongwoo’s level.

“And that one is a newbie. Their talent is quite decent.”

Yuwol, Yujiu, Baek Uhyeon, Hong Seohwa, Choi Ayeon, and the Sword Spirit divers who reached S-rank.

And Kwon Suhyun, a student from Seoul Academy who had newly joined.

As for mages, Bathory and Jeanne were present.

Yuseongwoo looked around at them and said,

“Maybe it’s because you’re all chugging expensive potions, but you all look radiant. I don’t like it…”

Whatever he didn’t like, Yuseongwoo frowned and patted Veronica’s shoulder.

“Veronica, I’m counting on you. Show them the difference in skill.”

“Yes! Boss! Leave it to me!”

With those words, Veronica drew the greatsword she carried on her back.

Even if you combined the size of all the swords of the people here, it wouldn’t exceed the size of Veronica’s greatsword.

People were slightly nervous at the sight of Veronica wielding the greatsword, which looked heavy at first glance, as she pleased.

To think she was Yuseongwoo’s disciple, just what kind of person was she?

And why hadn’t such a skilled person been revealed until now?

As various questions arose, Veronica shouted loudly.

“My name is Veronica! A Swordmaster who received the title of Violet from the Empire! I am also the 17th Swordmaster to be born on the continent!”

At the same time, violet aura exploded from Veronica.

It was an aura with a different atmosphere from Yuseongwoo’s. If Yuseongwoo’s was calm, like the ominousness before a storm, Veronica’s aura was a beast itself. Everyone standing in the violet undulation that seemed to embody the ferocity of a wild animal shuddered.

Veronica looked around at their stiffened expressions and smiled contentedly before slamming her greatsword into the ground.

KWAANG─!!

The shockwave from the greatsword split the ground and shook the earth.

It looked like a light attack, but the result it brought was undoubtedly that of a strong person.

Yujiu raised his hand and asked.

“I have a question.”

“What is it? Brat.”

“You said you were the seventeenth Swordmaster… How many Swordmasters were in the Sword Spirit Expedition?”

“Good question! The Sword Spirit Expedition was the strongest expedition in history! We defeated five Demon Kings, and the leader defeated a Demon God alone! The total number of the Sword Spirit Expedition was twenty!”

“Twenty people in total…?”

“That’s not all! Twelve Swordmasters and three Archmages. The remaining five were healers and those who didn’t reach the realm of Master.”

People’s expressions twitched at Veronica’s words.

It was an expression of astonishment.

Twelve people who reached the same realm as Veronica.

And three Archmages.

Was it a battle where only one person survived, even with such an enormous force?

Just what kind of group was the Sword Spirit Expedition, which killed five Demon Kings and one Demon God?

Veronica said.

“Now, let’s begin! You little brats. The boss has entrusted you to me… I’ll teach you the way the boss taught us!”

The place they were in was inside the Abyss [a dangerous, monster-filled dimension].

It was a place with a wide open space where they could rampage to their heart’s content.

Veronica smiled as she gripped the greatsword with both hands.

People felt an unknown sense of unease from her appearance.

And the unease soon became reality.

“Let’s start by getting beaten up once each!”

Veronica’s greatsword was swung mercilessly.

***

“As expected of Veronica.”

She learned very well.

The sight of her beating them down one by one to show them the difference in skill was truly impressive.

Some formed ranks and attacked Veronica in reverse, but they couldn’t overcome the wall of the Swordmaster.

It wasn’t for nothing that she earned the title of Violet Radiance Sword Star.

‘The title of color is only given to twelve people in total, including Swordmasters and Archmages.’

In other words, it meant the twelve strongest people of that era.

Seven members of the Sword Spirit Expedition received the title of color.

Seven out of twenty received the title of color, and there were others who were qualified but didn’t receive it.

Yuseongwoo also belonged to the latter.

“…….”

Veronica breaks through the divers’ attack line from the front.

The sight of her wielding a huge sword and overwhelming the enemy’s attacks with overwhelming power reminded him of the past.

‘I wonder if she has completed her unique world [a swordsmanship concept].’

He should test Veronica once later.

It had been a while since they met, so he was curious to see how her skills had changed.

“You can’t know everything just by looking…”

Yuseongwoo muttered quietly and approached those who were sprawled on the floor, tapping them to wake them up.

How would they endure Veronica’s training if they collapsed with just this much?

“Get up. What are you going to do with the remaining time if you lie down with just this much?”

The people who were lying down got up, and Veronica, who was still energetic, approached, swinging her greatsword around.

“Weak! Too weak! Can you continue to fight like this in the future?!”

“Ugh…”

“I thought I had become stronger…”

Veronica shattered the confidence of the divers who had become stronger by taking potions.

It wasn’t a bad thing.

Great confidence can easily lead to arrogance, so it was a choice to crush them in advance, to let them know that there were many who were even higher up.

“Boss! How did you fight with these kinds of guys?! How did you do it?!”

“Well… somehow. If you roll them around, they’ll become more useful. Like you used to be.”

The divers were offended by Veronica’s words, but they couldn’t refute them.

It was because they understood how much of a gap there was between them and Veronica.

Veronica’s greatsword technique, which was made up of numerous actual battles and training, was not a realm that could be surpassed with comfortable training and a few actual battles in modern times.

Like Yuseongwoo.

After that, Veronica knocked down the divers several times.

Even if they were students, she showed no mercy. Kwon Suhyun, who had the lowest rank and the least skill, suffered the most.

However, no one sympathized with her.

It was because they were too tired to worry about anyone else.

“Hah, it’s hard…”

“I’m going to die…”

The divers clashed with Veronica until the surroundings were completely devastated. Kwon Suhyun changed her course to watching from the sidelines after being knocked out in the middle.

Yuseongwoo also watched the divers and Veronica clashing with her.

Kwon Suhyun said.

“…I think I’m too weak. I thought I was quite strong among the kids.”

Kwon Suhyun seemed to have lost a lot of self-esteem.

It was understandable.

She may have been outstanding among the students, but this was a world of cranes [a saying meaning a place where many talented people gather].

She was still a B-class diver, and she became a lone chicken in this place where there were only S-classes.

Yuseongwoo pondered what to say to her, then opened his mouth.

“You’re still young. In my opinion, your talent is outstanding. You’ll get stronger gradually. There’s no need to be impatient. If you rush to gain strength, you’ll become a cripple.”

“…But that person.”

Kwon Suhyun’s gaze did not leave Veronica.

She seemed younger than herself, but she possessed a strength that far surpassed her level.

She had heard from Yuseongwoo that she was a reincarnator from another world, but it didn’t really hit her.

Even though the world had turned into a fantasy… she still didn’t have the perception to accept such things.

As Kwon Suhyun sighed, drops of blood gathered beside her and soon took the form of a person.

It was Bathory, who had escaped from Veronica’s tyranny.

“What are you doing putting a fragile mage in there?”

“Mages also need training.”

Mages also play the role of a kind of fixed artillery, but…

Yuseongwoo didn’t need artillery that couldn’t move.

As he got up from his seat and approached, Bathory stuck close to Kwon Suhyun and said.

“L, let’s take a break for a moment! It’s too hard. How many hours has it been…?”

“Hmm.”

As Yuseongwoo sat back down, Bathory smiled brightly and continued.

“Young student, you seem to have a lot of worries? Let’s see, are you worried because you’re too weak compared to the others?”

“Yes.”

“Everyone is like that at that age. But don’t put yourself down, and it’s better to use it as a driving force to move forward. A role model? That’s what they call it.”

“……!”

Kwon Suhyun’s eyes widened at Bathory’s words, and she nodded.

Yuseongwoo looked at Kwon Suhyun and…

‘She looks like she’s easy to scam.’

Well, it wasn’t like Bathory was really scamming her, so he decided to leave her alone.

“Since Mr. Yuseongwoo is saying it, you must have outstanding talent. But you just lack training. No matter how much talent you have, if you lack the basics, your talent won’t blossom.”

“I see…”

“So, you must continue to work hard in the future! Got it? Don’t be too discouraged! It’s not really my place to say this, but that person is a real monster, you know?”

Bathory had seen Veronica get hit a few times earlier.

She used various spells to resist Veronica, but Veronica was a greatsword master who boasted a terrifying win rate even against mages.

She used a special method of breaking magic by loading her heavy greatsword with aura to break the magic itself.

Bathory didn’t know about Veronica’s combat method, so she had no choice but to be helpless.

She was hit by the sword and fainted several times. It was fortunate that she didn’t get amnesia from the concussion.

“Veronica!”

Yuseongwoo called Veronica from his seat.

Veronica, who was beating Baek Uhyeon like a fly, stopped her fist and waved at Yuseongwoo.

He got up from his seat and rotated his shoulders.

“Let’s do it once. It’s been a while since I’ve seen your skills. I need to see if you’ve rusted… or if you’ve become sharper.”

“Boss? Ugh… Okay! Let’s do it! I won’t go easy on you! Me neither!”

Baek Uhyeon, who had escaped from Veronica’s fist, quickly distanced himself, and the others gathered where Kwon Suhyun and Bathory were sitting.

Bathory said to Kwon Suhyun.

“It’s a good opportunity. You can grow a lot just by watching the battle between two masters.”

“S, should we put up a barrier?”

“Ah, Jeanne, I think we should put one up?”

Jeanne quickly put up a barrier to prevent herself from getting caught up in their battle, and Yujiu and Bathory added magic to reinforce it.

“It will be a valuable experience.”

“…I think so.”

The people who had just been beaten by Veronica gathered and started watching with one mind.

After being beaten like that, they couldn’t help but feel resentment towards Veronica.

They knew it was training, but… she was more vicious than Yuseongwoo.

Therefore, people cheered for Yuseongwoo in their hearts.

Or, they both get hit with a cross counter.

Baek Uhyeon quietly listed his impressions of the training.

“It felt similar to being constantly scolded in the military.”

“I didn’t ask.”

“…….”
