I Became a Swordsmanship Genius at the Academy

---

[The Quick Fix] The route was a choice that Kim Il-sin had seriously considered in the past.

Even if there was a possibility, it would take many years until the Demon God reincarnates.

Enough time for Kim Il-sin to receive the quest reward [Ending].

[The Quick Fix] was also treated as a happy ending, so there was no way he wouldn’t obtain the reward.

I didn’t know what the ending would be, but at the very least, it couldn’t be something trivial or bad.

However, the current Kim Il-sin had long removed that option from his mind.

He didn’t want to avoid it.

Having accepted the changes in this world brought about by his choice, he wanted to protect it.

Moreover, abandoning this unstable world and surviving alone held no meaning for the current Kim Il-sin.

For him, there were two immense treasures he wanted to protect with his life.

Thus, the choice Kim Il-sin made was the one route to a perfect happy ending.

[The War of Gods].

*

After choosing to confront the Demon God, he pondered how to do so.

Engaging with the Demon God without any measures was not worth considering.

Before winning or losing, the dimension itself would collapse.

So, Kim Il-sin expanded his thought process to think from the perspective of a god and soon derived a method.

If worrying about the dimension collapsing, wouldn’t it be better to create a new dimension and fight there?

And for creating that dimension, Hanarinn would be the perfect fit.

As expected of someone who could effortlessly handle bizarre calculations, she skillfully manipulated the divine level she’d just encountered and created an empty dimension in no time.

That dimension was positioned behind the Demon God, close to our dimension, and now it was Kim Il-sin’s turn.

‘Moving him directly is impossible.’

Even the Demon God, having almost expended all his divine essence, couldn’t be forcibly relocated.

Thus, the object that caught Kim Il-sin’s eye was the Holy Grail right beside him.

The ritual of the Dark Heaven Cult was completed by designating the coordinates of the dimension where the Demon God would be summoned.

‘If the leader were alive, he would’ve done so.’

But that guy was already dead.

Yet the ritual could still be completed because the Holy Grail itself had been designated as the coordinate.

So.

‘All I have to do is move this.’

Once the Holy Grail was moved to the dimension that had been prepared in advance, the Demon God would inevitably follow there against his will.

Kim Il-sin began using his divine essence to separate the Holy Grail from this dimension.

Though the Holy Grail was protected by its own defensive measures to prevent outside interference, transcendent divine essence could not be warded off.

As the rampaging Holy Grail gradually became blurred, the energy dwelling within it also waned.

Kugugugugu!!

Suddenly, a tremendous sound echoed from above. It sounded like lightning striking consecutively.

Kim Il-sin looked up and faced the Demon God.

The glaring red eyes fixed on this place without a flinch. Deep rage was felt within them.

‘Don’t worry. You’re not going alone.’

Kim Il-sin’s ultimate goal was to annihilate the Demon God completely.

Dimension separation was taking place for him as well.

“…That’s.”

Pan Haeyul frowned upon seeing Kim Il-sin’s hazy form.

Pan Haeyul was a wizard who had also mastered spatial magic.

It wasn’t difficult to infer the phenomenon occurring between Kim Il-sin and the Holy Grail.

“It’s dimension movement. Kim Il-sin is trying to move along with the Holy Grail.”

“Together…?”

Park Eunho was more focused on the word ‘together’ than the remarkable phenomenon of dimension movement.

“Yes. Together. It seems like the destination is the same.”

“……”

Park Eunho looked at Kim Il-sin with serious eyes.

What could be the reason for Kim Il-sin wanting to move with the Holy Grail? It must be to break through the current situation.

Pan Haeyul’s next words explained that further.

“It seems the being above is connected to the Holy Grail. When the Holy Grail moves, that being will also move there.”

“Then wouldn’t it suffice to just send the Holy Grail?”

But if Pan Haeyul was right, Kim Il-sin was moving along with the Holy Grail.

“I’m not sure, but there must be a reason. Maybe he can’t move just the Holy Grail…”

Just after he spoke, Pan Haeyul’s brows furrowed.

Park Eunho sensed he had recalled something.

“Please tell me what you just thought of.”

Pan Haeyul hesitated for a moment before speaking haltingly.

“…If it’s not that, then it means it wouldn’t end with just moving that being to another dimension.”

With that hint alone, Park Eunho could understand the situation.

Kim Il-sin was not just moving the being above to another dimension but was intending to battle there.

Though it was only a hypothesis, it felt likely to be true.

The Kim Il-sin he knew was definitely a person capable of making such choices.

“…It can’t happen.”

Park Eunho caught his creaking knees and spoke. He clenched his bloodied fist tightly.

“He can’t be sent alone—”

Thud.

At that moment, a hand rested on his shoulder, and Park Eunho turned to look at Hazuki.

At the same time, Hanarinn’s bright voice echoed.

“Don’t worry!”

Next to Pan Haeyul and Park Eunho were Hanarinn and Hazuki.

Unbeknownst to them, their bodies were gradually becoming as hazy as Kim Il-sin and the Holy Grail.

“What the…”

Park Eunho’s trembling gaze met Hazuki’s, who spoke with a tense yet fearless expression.

“We won’t leave Il-sin-nim alone.”

“W-Wait a second…!”

Park Eunho hurriedly reached out, but his hand couldn’t reach them.

In an instant, a small light flared up, and they vanished without a trace.

“……”

“……”

Silence descended.

The ominous feeling that had pressed down on the world vanished from the space.

All that remained were the blood-stained ruins and the sunlight pouring in through the broken ceiling.

“Do you know where they’ve gone?”

“I can’t say that much.”

The question was not one seeking a definite answer.

Even knowing the location wouldn’t guarantee they could get there.

“Can you get up?”

“Please lend me a hand.”

Pan Haeyul got to his feet with Park Eunho’s support.

Thanks to Hanarinn’s healing, he felt much better.

He had only become half a corpse from a full corpse, but that was enough.

“I’ll contact Kim Taesang. If he helps, we should reach the communication network soon.”

“I will handle the surroundings. It will take three minutes, at most.”

“Yes. Once the cleanup is done, we’ll move immediately.”

Both knew they had no time for despair in the face of their powerlessness.

Even if a great calamity had left thanks to Kim Il-sin, the Great Rift had yet to close.

In this situation, there was still much for Park Eunho and Pan Haeyul to do.

‘If it’s him, he’ll handle it well. My duty is… to trust him and fulfill my obligation.’

Trusting people was one of Park Eunho’s strong suits.

“Cleanup is done. Thankfully, there are some who endured. It must be thanks to Hanarinn.”

“I succeeded in contacting. Since the headquarters isn’t far, we should head there first.”

Leaving behind the horrific battlefield, Park Eunho moved toward headquarters.

Once his thoughts were organized, Kim Il-sin’s last sight he’d seen came to mind.

Kim Il-sin, who gazed unwaveringly at the sky.

Colors bloomed from the bracelet tied to his wrist.

Park Eunho couldn’t even imagine what was happening to Kim Il-sin, Hanarinn, and Hazuki right now.

But he was certain of one thing. They would undoubtedly return victorious.

‘I believe.’

Park Eunho moved forward while maintaining his unwavering faith.

Once again, trusting people was one of Park Eunho’s strong suits.

While following the dove to the altar.

Kim Il-sin explained all the subsequent plans to Hanarinn and Hazuki.

[…You plan to dimensionally move the Holy Grail?]

The plan to summon the Demon God to another dimension and engage in the final battle there.

Hanarinn and Hazuki’s objections were natural. It was an extremely perilous plan.

Kim Il-sin also wanted to find a safer plan if possible, but there were no other options.

[To prevent the collapse of the dimension, there’s no choice.]

If they fought here, this dimension would collapse, and even using [The Quick Fix], the Demon God would eventually return.

In the end, Hanarinn and Hazuki accepted the plan, placing one condition.

[Fine, okay. But we’re going together.]

[That’s right. Never think of going alone.]

They requested to be allowed to join the battle against the Demon God.

While he expected this, it was unavoidable that he felt a swell of emotion when it actually happened.

Kim Il-sin slowed down for a moment, turned back with a small smile, and said.

[Of course, we should go together.]

Thus, the three reached the final stage together.

Step by step.

The empty dimension created by Hanarinn.

In that place where only a black ground was spread, they arrived, and in front of them lay the red Holy Grail.

Kim Il-sin thought, looking at it.

‘This is it, the last.’
