I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

While Jin Yuha was facing off against Sword Emperor, the Utopia party members were also charging towards Baek Seol-hee.

Utopia formed a formation as if they were raiding a boss.

First, Ichika’s shadow blurred her vision. Sophia’s party members were healed by her area-of-effect healing spell, while silver arrows mixed in between them.

Kaaang!

And then, just in time, Yoo-ri’s taunt activated.

“Good! Go, Kang Do-hee!”
“Senior, I’ll support you! Slow down! Accelerate!”

Whoosh!

And then, Kang Do-hee, with the acceleration buff from Lim Ga-eul, charged forward using her ultimate skill.

Bright red flames engulfed Kang Do-hee’s body, blazing fiercely.

The Utopia party members didn’t need to say a word; they believed that this time, they could finally show that damn Jin Yuha’s master, Baek Seol-hee, who they considered a bitch, what they were capable of.

They taunted her to keep her in place, buffed themselves, and then unleashed a devastating attack.

[Taunt] – [Acceleration] – [DPS]

This mechanism was Utopia’s ultimate killer move, bringing victory against any formidable opponent.

Moreover, Kang Do-hee’s newly acquired ‘Avatar of Fire’ was so exceptional that even Jin Yuha had praised it as an ‘asymmetric power’.

They believed that even that monstrous instructor would be no match for them.

However,

“This bastard…!”

It didn’t take long for Kang Do-hee’s face to stiffen after using ‘Avatar of Fire’.

Her fist only sliced through the afterimage.

“She’s gone?!”

She was sure that Baek Seol-hee was right in front of her, brandishing her sword and approaching menacingly.

But she had vanished, as if she had sunk into the ground or soared into the sky.

“Where are you?!”

‘Avatar of Fire’ was an ultimate skill that increased 3 seconds to 30 seconds, allowing the user to attack with superhuman speed and deliver ten times the damage.

However, no matter how powerful the skill was, it could only be effective if there was an opponent.

During the extended 30 seconds, Kang Do-hee searched everywhere, but she couldn’t find Baek Seol-hee’s location.

“Damn it!!!”

Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang! Kwang!

Kang Do-hee’s fists pounded the ground in frustration.

Finally, after 3 seconds, Kang Do-hee’s ‘Avatar of Fire’ ended.

Thud!

Baek Seol-hee, who had suddenly appeared in front of her just like when she disappeared, kicked Kang Do-hee in the abdomen.

“Ugh!”

Kang Do-hee, who was momentarily defenseless due to the recoil from ‘Avatar of Fire’, was struck in the abdomen and pushed back. Baek Seol-hee looked down at her with disdain and said,

“A dog that relies only on physical strength.”

Then, Baek Seol-hee kicked off the ground and headed towards Yoo-ri. Yoo-ri raised her shield to block Baek Seol-hee’s attack, but

“A fool with only a tough body.”

Kwang!

Baek Seol-hee stepped on Yoo-ri’s foot, which was sticking out from under the shield.

“Aaahhhh!”

Yoo-ri’s balance was thrown off by the unexpected stomp on her foot.

Zzzzzzzzz!

At that moment, Lim Ga-eul’s whip, accelerated to supersonic speed, curved towards Baek Seol-hee.

Click.

“Ahh?!”

However, Baek Seol-hee didn’t even look at the whip; she simply reached out and grabbed the end of it.

“You’re still useless, except for your skills.”

Whoosh! Kwang!

Baek Seol-hee swung the whip, and Lim Ga-eul was slammed into the ground.

“Kyaaaahhhh!”

Screeeech!

In the meantime, Sophia fired a silver arrow with an acrobatic pose, but Baek Seol-hee easily dodged it by slightly tilting her head.

“You’re just annoying. Your evasion skills and timing are pathetic.”

Smack!

“Kyaaah!”

Baek Seol-hee kicked a stone on the ground, hitting Sophia’s forehead.

Ichika quietly hid in Baek Seol-hee’s shadow and stabbed her with a dagger, but

“You were the only one worth watching, but you haven’t improved since then.”

Squeeze.

“Ugh!”

Baek Seol-hee grabbed Ichika’s neck.

Then, Alice’s powerful crescent blade, infused with rotational force, struck.

Baek Seol-hee looked at Ichika with a disdainful expression and placed her neck between the blade’s strike.

Alice had no choice but to stop the blade mid-swing, letting out a sigh.

“You’re just mindlessly strong… No, that’s fine. You’re still new, so I’ll let it slide.”

Smack!

Alice was punched in the face and sent flying.

“Ugh!”

Thud!

All their attacks had been in vain.

“Haa… Are you really doing your best?”

Baek Seol-hee sighed deeply, running her hand through her hair.

“As expected, you’re even worse than I thought. There’s no improvement at all.”

Utopia, as the number one party in the world, had a certain level of pride in their abilities. But Baek Seol-hee’s words directly challenged that pride.

However,

“…”

The members of Utopia bit their lips, unable to respond to the overwhelming gap Baek Seol-hee had just demonstrated.

They couldn’t even force her to wield her primary weapon, the sword, and were completely overwhelmed. A deep sense of helplessness weighed down on Utopia’s shoulders.

Baek Seol-hee stared at them with a dissatisfied look, as if they were not up to her standards. She sighed deeply again and spoke.

“Do you really think there’s such a huge gap between us?”

Baek Seol-hee shook her head as if she didn’t expect an answer.

“No, the difference between you and me isn’t that big. If my disciple hadn’t joined the fight and was only giving instructions from behind, you would have defeated me in less than five minutes.”

That was the truth.

Not only Jin Yuha, but also Yoo-ri, Kang Do-hee, Lim Ga-eul, Sophia, and Ichika had made remarkable progress through rigorous training and overcoming difficult challenges.

They had achieved an absolute power that was not far behind Baek Seol-hee’s.

But why was there such a huge gap between them?

The deciding factor was efficiency, or in other words, judgment and vision.

No matter how good one’s abilities and movements were, if they could be predicted and prepared for from the start, their effectiveness would decrease significantly.

If the taunt had landed properly at the beginning, Baek Seol-hee would have been defeated without even lifting a finger.

However, Utopia stuck to their usual tactics against Baek Seol-hee, who was well aware of their abilities, and ended up getting defeated without even lifting a finger.

“I’m so frustrated that I want to split your heads open. Why do you fight without thinking?”

Baek Seol-hee was genuinely annoyed. These people had such great talent, yet they were so incompetent.

“Anyway, it’s because my disciple is doing it for you, right? If my disciple didn’t give you instructions, you’d be useless. Are you just tools that exist to be used?”

She suppressed her frustration with superhuman patience and spoke in a low voice.

“In fact, I don’t care if you’re just tools. It’s not my problem if you die somewhere due to your own stupidity.”

Baek Seol-hee genuinely believed this. If they died fighting like this, it was because of their own stupidity, not her disciple’s fault.

“If my disciple doesn’t care about you as tools and you break down because of your own incompetence, I don’t care either.”

However.

Her disciple was not the type of person who would do that.

He was a kind-hearted fool who had the belief that he must protect anyone who entered his territory. If any of them were in danger during combat, her disciple would definitely rush in without caring about his own safety.

All for the sake of these stupid girls.

Suddenly, a surge of anger rose within her.

“I won’t let your incompetence kill my disciple. Absolutely not.”

Therefore, they had to become stronger, one way or another.

They were always dragging Jin Yuha down by not performing to their full potential.

Baek Seol-hee couldn’t just stand by and watch.

That’s why she had given up teaching Jin Yuha directly and had taken this position instead.

“From now on, for the next two days, I’ll inject some thoughts into your empty heads.”

Yes, there was no need for kindness when teaching these stubborn fools.

Only tedious pain, repetition, and indoctrination were necessary.

“Starting now, each of you will come out and spar with me for 10 minutes. Then we’ll rotate every 10 minutes, without rest, for two days.”

Baek Seol-hee’s eyes turned cold as she looked at Utopia.

“And if you don’t show improvement the next time we fight, I’ll break your fingers. If your fingers are all broken, I’ll break your toes. After that, I’ll break your arms and legs one by one.”

A brutal warning to break their limbs if they didn’t show proper results. It was an extreme method, but

“Who wants to go first?”

“I’ll go first.”
“No, I will!”
“Instructor, I’ll go first as the eldest!”
“I’ll do it!”
“I want to go first.”

Everyone gathered here volunteered to be the first to step up.

After all, no one wanted to be a hindrance to Jin Yuha.

That determination alone pleased Baek Seol-hee.

She twisted one corner of her mouth.

“Okay, good. You girls should be prepared. I’m not as soft as my disciple.”
