Chapter 11: Incador Medal
After one year of cultivating the Aquametal technique, Lorist reached the second form of the Bright, Eternal Waterflow stage. The second and third forms of the Bright stage prioritized releasing the eight extraordinary meridians and connecting them with the twelve standard meridians to form the Main Cycle to achieve a strong state of vitality and harmonize the polar energy Yin and Yang in the body.
After releasing the eight incredible meridians, it only took a few months to release the Yangwei and Yinwei meridians, after which one could practice in the third form of the Bright stage, Robh Warhorse. Lorist had not reached this level before in his past life. This technique that he inherited from his previous family turned out to be quite beneficial. The extraordinarily fast training speed of the Aquametal Technique was such a source of immense happiness for Lorist that he forgot he was using Battle Force to train him and made him feel very hopeful for his progress in the future fore.
But Lorist, who was very engrossed in his training, did not pay attention to the way other people around him saw him. He went to the academy as usual to attend courses and also trained his students in swordsmanship. Finally, he shocked everyone in the academy with a 100% success rate from his first War Force revival course.
Lorist met his first love since coming to this world around this time. Their similar histories with their respective families serve as a pivot for their growing intimacy and motivate them to strive for and build their own happy future.
Not much had changed until that day when Lorist spoke to the fatty, Deathly Miser.
"Hey, fatty ... Aren't you looking at me a little funny? Is there something on my face? "
"I feel sorry for you . I don't know if you know about that …. ”
"What are you apologizing for? Isn't my life as good as it is now? I don't need your sympathy. ”
"Is that so? You say you're okay? Locke, let me ask you. How long has it been since you trained your Battle Strength? ”
"Umm, about that .. It is true that I have neglected my Battle Strength training. But it wasn't my fault. The attributes of my family's War Forces are completely different from the majority of the Battle Force techniques. And, considering I don't have the rest of the manual, I can't train it even if I want to. ”
“Then what will you do? Are you going to remain at the Three Stars Iron rank forever? You will wait for the conflicts in your homeland to subside before reaching out to them for the rest of the techniques? "
Raising his shoulders in vain, Lorist said, “What else can I do? It's not like it's getting in the way of my life at the moment so I'm not in too much of a hurry. ”
"Sheesh, you .. Can't you try harder?" The fat guy said seriously. “Didn't Instructor Claude say that you should continue training with your Besimu ranked Battle Strength until it reaches peak density in your veins and goes through some life-threatening battles? You might be able to stimulate the full potential of your Battle Strength amidst the heat of battle and break through to the Silver rank even if you use the hexagram circulation path for Iron rank. Brother, you are already at the top of the Iron rank. Perhaps, if you take another step and get a little boost, you might be able to break through and become a Silver Swordsman! You can't just give up! ”
"That's not the point . What are you worried about? I pass my days well, why should I go out of my way to go to war of life and death? I can wait a few years. Who knows if I might meet a high-level magical beast and perish if I decide to go train. ”
"Look at yourself .. You are so young, where is your ambition? You weren't like this before. Beside a high-level ferocious beast, you are not afraid and have no doubts at all as you take out the sword and face off against the five Silver rank assailants. Magical ferocious beasts should be easier to deal with than people like men. Let's go to the mercenary guild and look for a suitable date to go training and complete some missions in the meantime for some quick cash. ”
Shaking his head firmly, Lorist said, “I don't have such a time right now. I have my hands full with the academy and help Wenna with her business. ”
Wenna is Lorist's girlfriend's nickname.
Charade let out another bitter breath. “Love and women are the downfall of great heroes. Didn't you say it yourself? Look at you now. Ever since you started dating Wenna, you never left Morante City even once! You can't keep it that way! You must be a person with a bright future ahead of you. Don't just shut up and waste your life! ”
"Haha, don't expect too high for me, you're damned. To be honest with you, I myself do not have big ambitions. I just want to get a big house in Brinn Hill when I get enough money and stay there with Wenna and live the rest of my life in happiness, ” Lorist said with a laugh.
Brinn Hill is located somewhere south of Morante City and is near the Golden Gulf. It has beautiful scenery and is one of the most expensive areas in the city to live in. Only the richest of the rich can afford to live there.
Charade shook his head and said, "You're talking about tens of thousands of gold for a mansion on Brinn Hill. I think you're much better off spending just a few thousand gold coins to get a four-story building in the southern sector of the city and collect the rent while you're there. There is nothing good about the sea breeze on Brinn Hill. ”
Charade faced Lorist and continued solemnly, “Then again, Brother, I, you should really put in more effort in your training and get Silver ranked quickly so that no one can say anything about your abilities. I'm just saying this for your own good. ”
Feeling a little suspicious, Lorist asked, "What happened? Is there anything I should know? "
“Huh, the Silver-ranked Instructor in the academy might be up to something. I think they want the academy to fire you as a swordsmanship instructor because of your Iron ranked Battle Strength. They think you are not suitable to become an instructor for an academy that ranks in the top ninth rank in the entire continent. That's what I have to say. You go back to see your Wenna if nothing else. ”
Surprised, Lorist exclaimed, “What the hell is this! What does my War Forces rank have to do with them? They can't make me resign as a swordsmanship instructor! Even with their Silver Battle Force rank, there was no one among them who could match me in a duel! ”
"It's not uncommon for people to be jealous," said the fat one weakly, "Even with your Iron-ranked Battle Force, they won't mind if you have better swordsmanship than them. What they didn't expect was that all the students in your War Force Resurrection course managed to awaken their War Forces. Not only was this a miracle, it made them feel even more worthless. How do you think they feel when they can't even match an Iron ranked instructor? They won't be satisfied until they kick you out of the academy. ”
If all the SIlver ranked instructors were grouped together, the academy would probably be pressured to remove Lorist from his post.
“The best solution like now is that you try to break through to Silver rank. Once you're a Silver Swordsman, they won't be able to do anything for you. That's why I advise you to experience some life and death battles, ” Charade said solemnly.
“It's too hard. Without my family's War Forces manual, there was almost no way for me to break through without the following hexagram circulation path diagram. You yourself said that the hexagram path of my Battle Strength technique is completely unseen by you. Even if I were to engage in a life and death battle, there was no guarantee that I would be able to break through in such a short time frame. ”
“Then there is only one other way for you to secure your position in the academy. Have you heard of the Gold Instructor Badge in our academy? ”
“I know about it. Doesn't Instructor Claude have his own? Welledor Instructor in charge of the knight training course, Instructor Wensen of the horse traning course and even Instructor Loboff of the herbalism department also had it. Wasn't that a badge given to anyone whose Battle Power was at the Gold rank? ”
“No, I'm not talking about that badge. There is another golden swordsmanship instructor badge in our academy. A hundred years ago, there was a One Star Silver ranked student in our academy who had won 30 direct duels against a Two Star Silver instructor and was instantly famous. The academy hired him as a swordsmanship instructor and even made him a gold instructor badge. However, students join the army and go to fight in the Battle of the Silver River and manage to kill three imperial knights who were all Gold-ranked fighters during the attack on Ried city but then die from his injuries after skirmishes. To commemorate his actions, the academy kept its gold instructor badge and decided that anyone who could earn 30 consecutive wins with a higher ranked opponent (even a 1-star above) would earn that instructor's badge and receive the same treatment as a normal Gold.ranked instructor But if one lost even once to anyone, one would lose the qualification to wear that badge as well as one's position as a Gold ranked instructor. ”
Charade continued to explain, “No one in 100 years has been able to get 30 consecutive wins like that student and the medal that currently lies forgotten in the academy's honor hall. Why don't you try to get that medal to avoid getting kicked out of the academy? I'm betting that it won't be too difficult for you to win 30 duels. ”
“There really is such a thing?” Lorist rubbed his hands and continued, “I definitely got this golden badge. Fatty, what is the name of that disciple? ”
“Name Raven Incador. If he survived the battle with the Gold-ranked experts of the Krissen Empire, he could become a Blademaster. It's a shame he died so young. Special gold badge called Incador Medal, ” Charade said while regretting the loss of such a talented person.
"Alright, fatty, let's find out what I have to do next. You mentioned there was a group of Silver rank instructors conspiring against me? Give me the names of all of them. I will challenge them one by one, ” Lorist said as he licked his lips cunningly, like a predator deciding which part of his prey to enjoy first.
The next ten days in the academy were filled with excitement.
Lorist sent out the challenge letters to the instructors enrolled by Charade but none of them really cared about it and even thought it was a joke. Some instructors even threw the letters into the trash, laughing and exclaiming, "You think he's qualified enough to challenge us?"
Given their arrogant attitude, Lorist no longer held back. He barged into the classroom of several instructors and challenged them in front of their students. Feeling angry and humiliated, the instructors took out their swords and wanted to teach Lorist a disrespectful and disrespectful lesson that he would never forget. In quick succession, one by one the instructors were beaten and sent to the medical center of the academy.
The students in the academy were overjoyed. It was not every day when one had to see a haughty and arrogant instructor being beaten up by an Iron ranked instructor. As Lorist walked towards the next target, the crowd of students followed behind him and even told him the location of the other instructors.
“Instructor Locke, Instructor XX is there. Are you going to challenge him? "
“X Instructor and XX instructor are there, hold them down! Instructor Locke came for them … "
“Here, fast, Instructor Locke. . ”
The crowd was blocked by ten or so Silver ranked instructors from advancing and the other instructors insisted that the academy's management come to handle the situation and take care of Lorist, who had interrupted their course and sent seven of their colleagues to a medical center.
Some Silver ranked instructors hated Lorist to the point of running out and even shouted for him to leave the academy and that he was no match for becoming an instructor there.
After which, several Gold-ranked instructors including Instructor Claude came and investigated the matter.
Lorist told them this, “I want the Incador Medal. ”
The crowd was confused and did not know what it was.
Charade, who was keeping the crowd order, explained it to the other instructors.
After which, the gold-ranked instructors finally understood that it was the tradition of the academy and even they could not do anything about it. They could only report it to the superiors and wait for their decision.
Lorist was unaffected and believed that this commotion was not his fault. Originally, he had only done this because of the instructor who ignored his challenge letter and did not treat it seriously.
Those who understood the situation looked pitifully at the Silver rank instructors, who began to feel depressed and anxious.
Without much delay, the Head of the Academy announced his decision. "Lorist, go. It would be a shame to see the Incador Medal continue to collect dust. I'm rooting for you. ”
But he also mentioned that Lorist would not interfere with the class of other instructors and carry out duels after work hours.
The Silver-ranked instructor was stunned and made an excuse to take time off from work to avoid the impending disaster. Some others go to other academies and apply for jobs there. The remaining ones reluctantly agreed to duel Lorist under the testimony of Instructor Claude and the other Gold instructors and the ridiculing students. One after another, they lost to him and were eventually released.
