Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius

Episode 53

The examiners were busy after seeing the signal to evacuate all cadets.

From the moment the monster’s screams echoed through the forest, I knew something was definitely happening.

“Move quickly!”

The examiners stopped watching and appeared to the cadets, leading them outside of the forest.

The other examiners had already evacuated with their cadets.

If they were the only ones to leave the forest, the captain who came with them would take care of the rest.

With that in mind, it was time to move with the cadets.

Coo!

The ground shook.

The ground shook as if a rock had fallen.

The examiner’s face hardened as he looked back.

As big as a small red-haired garden.

And then I saw a monster running towards me, drooling.

‘Why is the troll here!’

The troll itself is difficult to handle, but the troll you see over there is no ordinary troll.

Even at a glance, I could see that it was much more dangerous than that.

“run!”

They themselves didn’t have the confidence to deal with that troll.

No, you don’t know if you only have test tubes. At least you won’t lose.

Because they were all knights who had awakened mana and were confident in their skills to a certain degree.

If the three of you surround the troll and attack, you will either win in the end or hold out until the leader comes.

But I couldn’t do that now.

There were people who had to be protected.

Cadets at the academy.

There was no way that cadets who could barely kill orcs could help against trolls.

Rather, it was at a great disadvantage as it had to be fought while protecting it.

“Run away too!”

“Aaaah!”

The cadets also ran to the entrance of the forest, screaming as if they had seen the troll.

But why?

The forest was not very big.

So I thought we would arrive soon, but strangely, the entrance felt far away.

‘Is there any use in running away?’

A thought suddenly occurred to me.

I wonder if I can escape that troll just because I leave the forest.

If the troll followed them out of the forest, the academy and the entire city could become dangerous.

Wouldn’t it be better to stop the trolls here at least a little?

I thought I could just hold on until the captain came.

“Everyone take up arms!”

And the troll’s speed was too fast.

Even if you run away like this, you will be attacked by a troll before you even leave the forest.

It is better to attack while prepared than to be attacked defenseless.

Wow!

The troll appeared by destroying the tree.

The appearance of a troll with many tendons sticking out was not normal.

Eyes that have lost focus and become blurry.

Those eyes were filled with only murder.

“Protect the cadets!”

He pulled out his sword and shouted.

The comrades drew their weapons and stood in front of the cadets.

I felt reassured knowing that my colleagues were supporting me.

“Ha!”

He circulated mana throughout his body and infused mana into his sword.

And ran towards the orc.

Whatever it is, hitting the player is best.

No matter how strong a knight he is, he can be taken aback by an unexpected surprise attack.

It definitely had to be that way.

Crumbling.

‘Uh… we made eye contact…’

The troll’s red eyes turned towards him.

He lost consciousness.

…Argh!

…Oh my! Wake up!

He slowly came to his senses when he heard faint sounds.

My head was throbbing and pain felt like needles were stuck all over my body.

“Wake!”

I was able to come to my senses as I heard the voice more clearly.

“…what’s this.”

I only lost consciousness for a brief moment.

I attacked by maximizing my physical abilities using mana, but I made eye contact with the troll and lost consciousness.

And when I opened my eyes, my companions had suffered a blow that brought them close to annihilation.

The cadets’ limbs were broken, their heads were half caved in, and they were so miserable that it was questionable whether they were alive.

One arm of the colleague who was giving the potion to the cadets disappeared.

The body of my colleague, who was barely able to fend off the troll, was so damaged that it felt amazing that he was standing up.

“Cough…!”

When I tried to raise my upper body, my chest felt sore and blood came out of my mouth.

The organ is damaged.

‘Damn it.’

If he hadn’t lost consciousness, the situation wouldn’t have gotten this bad.

He blamed himself for his complacency and stood up, using his sword as a staff to support his body.

Then, he forcibly suppressed the pain by channeling mana throughout his body.

You won’t feel any pain for a while now.

“Hwaaaap!”

I gritted my teeth. And then tried to rush towards the troll.

“What what…!”

Suddenly a man appeared in front of him.

A man with brown hair flying and a sword drawn stood between himself and the troll.

It was not their leader.

And above all, the clothes the man is wearing are those worn by cadets.

That means the cadets are now taking on the troll.

“Run! “This is not a guy you can deal with!”

He shouted at the cadet.

However, the cadet did not pretend to hear anything and instead picked his ears as if it was noisy.

That was when he tried to reach him.

“Stay still.”

The captain he had been waiting for so long has returned.

But why wait?

The test department couldn’t understand what he was saying.

The cadet right in front of me is in danger and they tell me to wait.

Have I gone crazy?

“Leader! “What does that mean…!”

“Just stay quiet and watch. “Then you will know.”

“…?”

He didn’t understand what the captain said.

How is this any different from driving a cadet to his death?

He prepared to run out in case the cadets were in danger.

and.

“What is that…?”

I was fascinated by the results, which were different from what I expected.

***

The troll I knew was right.

A monster that serves as a stepping stone for the protagonist who awakens in the distant future.

He is stronger than a regular troll, but he is not a troll king.

Between a troll and a troll king.

In terms of orcs, they can be considered warriors or knights.

However, the reason it is not specifically defined is because the species called trolls consists only of trolls and troll kings.

The troll in front was like a mutant among trolls.

A monster so large and strong that even the Troll King is wary of it.

According to the original plan, that troll should have woken up two years later.

He had to be killed by the protagonist who had acquired the talent of swordsmanship.

‘Why did I wake up?’

That troll doesn’t wake up even with the slightest stimulation.

It had leather so tough that it couldn’t even be scratched unless it was a sword filled with the knights’ mana.

Despite the considerable shock, I slept without any hesitation.

Now that such a troll had woken up, it couldn’t help but be strange.

Additionally, the troll’s physical condition was not normal.

Like an Orc Warrior, his eyes were open as if he had been drugged.

“This is going to be a little difficult.”

If my prediction is correct, trolls will be twice as strong as before.

It’s hard to deal with the original troll, but this troll is twice as strong.

“I have no choice but to act.”

If possible, I tried to solve the problem without acting.

But I could tell since I was facing a troll.

That I can’t win now.

That I have to ‘act’.

‘You just have to come to your senses.’

I wasn’t even starting and I was already so worried.

I just need to come to my senses. If you keep your mind straight, you can avoid being swallowed by the protagonist.

Wow!

The troll shook his fist.

I stared at that fist.

[‘An unknown god’ watches your acting and activities.]

The world has become quiet.

The troll’s fist approached slowly.

Ah, this is what it felt like.

The feeling of not using mana and the feeling of using it… everything was different.

Quaaaaaaaaa!

Even the fragments sticking out of the ground where the troll’s fist had dug in seemed slow.

Blue air currents.

The manas informed the troll’s movements and the surrounding objects.

‘The feeling I felt when I met a bandit.’

All my senses became clearer and I felt a strange sense of pleasure.

Phew.

The wind swirled around the sword imbued with mana.

No, it was mana spinning.

How can we achieve higher cutting power and become stronger?

The manas strengthened the sword according to my will and increased all physical abilities of my body.

Have knights always felt this way?

Mana was like a kind of carbonic acid.

Once I accepted it, it was so refreshing that I couldn’t forget that feeling.

Wow.

The troll’s wrist was cut straight like a piece of paper.

Blue mana surged above the sword and shined vividly.

“Sword energy…!”

A voice like a scream was heard from behind.

I wrapped my ears with mana so that I could not hear those sounds.

They were made to listen and see only things related to trolls.

Wow!

Flesh oozed out from the cut section and created a new hand.

Regeneration is a troll’s signature ability.

The biggest reason trolls were difficult to deal with was their incredible regenerative power.

No matter how much I cut or cut it, it was quickly restored to its original state, so in the end, I was the one who got tired.

‘You have to hit the vital point at once.’

The troll has two vital points. It was the heart and the head.

If only one of the two is destroyed, the troll dies.

However, the vital point must be completely destroyed.

If there is even a little heart or brain left, it regenerates.

Therefore, it must be completely broken into pieces and ground into powder.

“Hmph!”

I took a deep breath and snuggled into the troll’s arms.

Wow!

The troll screamed and swung its fists to stop me.

I didn’t avoid that fist. I swung the sword, trusting the mana that covered it.

Wow! Wow!

The troll’s fist cut off the arm like cutting tofu.

No matter how thick the leather was, it couldn’t withstand my mana.

The troll’s fist that had stunned the test tube was split apart as soon as it touched my sword.

Wow!

Troll scream.

The sound was strangely satisfying.

The troll’s screams felt sweet, like listening to a beautiful musical performance.

The blood flowing from the troll was better than cool water, and the falling flesh looked like fluttering flower petals.

Madness.

Excitement, pleasure, murder, etc. Negative emotions enveloped my body.

Cut faster.

Kill faster.

We need to kill more.

Such thoughts bubbled up inside me.

I will quickly kill the troll and then kill the cadets and examiners behind.

Okay.

The sword was stuck in the troll’s chest.

As that part was cut off, even my hand was dug into my flesh.

But it didn’t reach the heart.

The sword missed the heart.

Wow!

The troll’s scream echoes once again.

“…!”

The scream brought me to my senses and I quickly retreated.

‘I almost got eaten.’

I felt like I instantly became the main character.

It was dizzying to think that it would have been dangerous if I had been late in coming to my senses.

Let’s finish it quickly.

Hunting is difficult without the help of the protagonist.

So, I need to kill the troll as quickly as possible.

I became so absorbed in the main character that I enjoyed torturing trolls.

“Let’s get this over with.”

I poured mana into the sword and ran until it was about to break.

It quickly regenerated and jumped onto the swinging arm of the orc and jumped on its head.

And then he stabbed his sword straight in.

Fuwaaaaak!

The mana that penetrated the brain exploded and exploded the troll’s head.

Slurp coo!

The troll has fallen.

I stopped ‘acting’ by shaking off the blood from my body.

A sense of helplessness washed over me, and things I had not recognized returned.

….

No sound was heard except the noise of the troll falling.

silence.

People around me looked at me blankly, even forgetting to breathe.
