The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman

ady.
It wasn’t just an instinct—it looked like the movement of a trained beast that looked for its opponent’s openings through experience.

‘Seriously, this guy…’

He had only given him a small hint, yet he was already starting to realize the true form of the Fangs of Insanity.
He was so surprised that his hair was standing on end.

 

Whoosh!

 

Rimmer violently slashed his sword.
The green energy on his blade spread out to defend all directions from the front, except for one invisible opening.

Raon’s eyes shone crimson.
He twisted the ferocious blade to aim for that unique opening.

‘He did it!’

He could only laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation.
Raon had understood the true ‘Fangs of Insanity’ during the short time that they had been sparring.

‘Then I shall help him walk that road even faster as his teacher.’

Even though it was his first time being an instructor, every single moment had been enjoyable thanks to Raon and the other trainees.

“Fine, keep coming at me!”

Rimmer continuously swung his sword and created a unique opening that could only be found by experts.

And Raon ferociously stabbed through that small opening, as if he had read his mind.

‘It’s crazy.’

He couldn’t keep himself from gasping.
The ferocious attack was coming from an intricate trajectory.
Once he completed that swordsmanship, an average warrior wouldn’t be able to even face him.

“But it’s not fun if it’s too easy.”

Rimmer removed the opening.
He swung his sword in a way that Raon wouldn’t be able to pierce through in his current state to pressure him.

He was superior both in terms of power and precision, yet Raon didn’t give up.

He kept swinging his sword with savage eyes, and he started creating the openings instead of looking for them.

‘That’s right.’

Rimmer nodded.
The enemy on a battlefield doesn’t create an opening for you, you have to find one instead.
And the Fangs of Insanity was the best swordsmanship for creating it.

 

Slam! Slaam!

 

Rimmer and Raon endlessly swung their swords at each other at point-blank distance.

‘He is getting stronger and stronger.’

The attacks were getting stronger, and his flow had no opening.
His proficiency was increasing tremendously.

“Haap!”

Raon swung his sword with a war cry.
As soon as he took a defensive posture, Raon’s attack tried to twist his defense.
It was a frightening speed of transition.

‘What is this guy…’

He was going easy on him, yet chills still ran down his spine as he pierced through his defense over and over.

However, it was too early to let him experience victory.

“Come back after you grow up more!”

Rimmer surrounded his sword with a stormy wind and shot the aura concentrated on the blade.
It was his great technique, Wind Spirit Stab.

‘How are you going to react?’

The technique was still too powerful for Raon.
Rimmer licked his lips in anticipation over how he was going to handle it.

 

Whoosh!

 

Raon came running at him with his sword hanging behind him.
He swung his sword without minding his clothes getting ripped apart by the wind from the Wind Spirit Stab.

 

Slam!

 

The Wind Spirit Stab stayed intact despite the powerful slash.
However, Raon didn’t stop.
He used footwork to step back and kept swinging his sword.

Cracks appeared in the Wind Spirit Stab little by little, and it eventually started breaking down, showing him the opening.

 

Slaam!

 

Raon exhaled a long breath as he swung his sword.
A red light shone like the scorching sun, and the Wind Spirit Stab melted away in the air.

“Huh!”

Rimmer’s jaw dropped.

‘What did he just do?’

He wanted him to improve his Fangs of Insanity from witnessing the Wind Spirit Stab, yet he actually managed to shatter it.
He couldn’t believe how crazy he was.

 

Whoosh!

 

Raon was standing confidently in the middle of the training ground, where dust was rising fiercely in the air.

“Hey, you…”

“Don’t do it.”

As he was about to approach Raon, Runaan came up to him and grabbed his arm.

“What?”

“Don’t do it yet.”

Rimmer looked ahead and noticed Raon’s pupils were dilated.

‘Trance?’

It looked like he received enlightenment while fighting against the Wind Spirit Stab.

‘What the hell…?’

He couldn’t understand how he was getting enlightenment so often when it was something one was supposed to get only once or twice in their entire life.

Runaan released Rimmer’s hand and went outside the training ground.
It looked like she was intending to stop people from coming in.

‘How did she see it?’

Rimmer himself hadn’t noticed Raon’s trance.
He couldn’t understand how Runaan had noticed it despite being further away.

“He really is a lucky guy.”

Rimmer shook his head and sat down on the spot.
It looked like he had no choice but to guard him.

“I was planning to go out and drink after finishing this quickly.”

He licked his lips, looking at the setting sun.

 

***

 

“Haaa.”

Raon opened his eyes, exhaling deeply.
It was dark.
The sun that used to be in the sky had become the moon, but he wasn’t too surprised.

‘I fell into a trance.’

He was enlightened upon facing Rimmer’s extremely powerful sword at the end.

He had a choice between advancing even further ahead and keeping the enlightenment he received.
He decided to advance in that situation and managed to obtain an even greater enlightenment.

“It must be nice.”

Rimmer frowned, lying on the ground.

“Thank you.”

Raon sheathed his sword and bowed politely.

Despite his relaxed appearance, Rimmer’s energy was covering the area.
He must’ve been guarding him so far.

“You should say that to her, too.”

Rimmer raised his finger to point behind him.
Silver hair was fluttering by the training ground’s door.

“Are you finished?

Runaan opened the door and entered.

“She noticed your trance before me.”

Raon nodded and stood in front of Runaan.

“Thank you.”

“Did you become stronger?”

“Yes.”

“So, we don’t need to spar anymore?”

Raon nodded with a smile and Runaan’s expression brightened slightly.

“You must’ve received a good enlightenment since you said you got stronger so confidently.”

Rimmer stood up and shook off the dust and dirt from his clothes.

“Yes. Fangs of Insanity can be a crazy beast’s fang, but it also can be a moment of enlightenment. Fangs of Insanity is actually a beast with a serene mind.”

Fangs of Insanity wasn’t an intuition sword with only ferocity and violence as its characteristics.
It was a special swordsmanship that created an opening in the opponent’s guard through experience and the mind.

He still had a long way to go, but he felt like he took the first step for the true Fangs of Insanity.

“It was worth my time.
The liquor is going to taste great today.”

Rimmer smiled and started walking towards the training ground’s exit.

“Thank you.”

Raon expressed his gratitude once again, and Rimmer waved his hand and left the training ground.

“Raon, let’s train.”

She came next to him and drew her sword.
She wasn’t talking about sparring but training their swords.

“Okay.”

He was indebted to Runaan once again.
He was fine with helping her train as much as she wanted.

Raon observed Runaan’s swordsmanship.
Thanks to having learned the Fangs of Insanity, he could tell at a glance what she was lacking.

“During your second technique, extend your feet around one knuckle’s length, and straighten your knee a bit more.”

“Mhm.”

Runaan’s sword became sharper and more intricate.
Her talent was indeed at the continent’s scale, considering how she was changing from a single piece of advice.

Raon gave her a few more pieces of advice before raising his head.
He nodded slightly, looking at the large moon shining upon the training ground.

‘I’m almost ready to leave.’

Except for one thing.
