Swoosh...


    The sharp ringing of metal echoed, striking the bones. The sword, naturally drawn, gleamed as the light hit its de. Ha-Yul extended the sword in a way that it didn’t touch the ground.


    His posture appeared almost unguarded. His head and upper body werepletely exposed. If one were to attack there, they would be able to strike first, perhaps by half a breath.


    ‘I don’t think so.’


    He quickly dismissed such a simple assumption. On the opposite side, Yusei grasped his sword, feeling the weight of the de and settling his gaze.


    At first nce, Ha-Yul’s stance seemed filled with weaknesses. But his umted experience and his sharp instincts sharply denied that idea.


    In fact, there was no need to rely solely on reasoning.


    Just sensing the killing intent that seemed to carve through his entire body was enough to make those thoughts vanish.@@novelbin@@


    ‘It’s vicious.’


    Around him, the air seemed filled with an invisible killing blow, as though everything within reach would be cleaved away. The very thought of stepping into that space sent a cold shiver through Yusei’s body.


    Ha-Yul, holding his sword, now seemed like apletely different person.


    It wasn’t just the change in atmosphere, but the harmless image had transformed into something akin to a monster that had roamed the battlefield for decades.


    It was such a huge reversal. Could a person really be perceived so differently just by their aura? Yusei marveled inwardly, bracing himself.


    [Second semester midterm evaluation,bat major, first match starting. Countdown. 10...]


    [9… 8… 7…]


    The voice rang out from above. Yusei focused, adjusting his grip on his sword as he observed the countdown.


    ‘Logically, the pressure alone can’t be that dangerous.’


    Pressure is something that stems from the weight of one’s true nature. You can’t feel this kind of intent if it’s just a hollow disy.


    Thest time Yusei had witnessed Ha-Yul’s skill was during the first semester tournament.
