Knight Commander of the Millennium Knights.
Gordon Corriman didn’t like Raymond.
How could I understand the remarks of ignoring the article, befitting a person from a famous magic family?
Aren’t wizards and knights always enemies?
However, it was difficult to understand how to tarnish the family’s name.
‘Because my honor is also diminished.’
Gordon Corriman was becoming the object of ridicule among the knight commanders.
It was a pity that he couldn’t lead the knights of the master swordsmanship, but it was okay.
Because he was proud and satisfied with being the captain of the Millennium Knights.
If it weren’t for Raymond, who had gone on a rampage a few years ago and turned into an idiot.
While the Millennium Earl’s momentum did not decline, at least it certainly did damage Gordon Corriman’s reputation.
It was because the image of a knight leader for incompetent idiots was beginning to emerge from the leader of the knights of the famous magic family.
The moment he definitely changed his mind from Raymond was when Raymond kicked the attendants.
If Raymond becomes the family head in the future, he will have to follow him.
He was reckless with his subordinates, and if he seemed to be stronger than himself, he could not see the act of wriggling when he opened his eyes.
Still, the situation where he came all the way to this place while he was trying hard to get rid of his anger.
The words couldn’t come out well.
“To say you came to see us, who only know how to wield a sword in ignorance, must have been frustrating because our magic training didn’t go well.”
He said that, and, of course, he assumed that Raymond would either get intimidated and not answer properly, or he would back off with a random answer.
But things turned out quite differently.
“It seems ignorant, for sure.”
All too sure, he struck back Gordon Correman’s words and even provoked him afterward.
“A person that is necessary for the family while showing swordsmanship that even a child can do?”
Hearing that, Gordon Corriman couldn’t stand it any longer.
It was because I thought that the incompetent ragged boy who couldn’t do anything by himself and treated his subordinates badly was now ignoring even swordsmanship.
“If it’s a swordsmanship that even a child can do, then the young master can do it too. What… Dalian or something?”
Of course, you won’t do it yourself.
because it’s out of shape
Still, no matter what knight came out, wouldn’t it be able to crush the incompetent youngster right in front of him terribly?
Of course, you will have to adjust it moderately, but at least you will be able to tell the reality.
‘I’ll clearly show you that you shouldn’t look at the article lightly.’
Gordon Corriman stared at Raymond thoughtfully.

“Dalian…”
Dalian. Let’s fight against me.
Isn’t it funny?
Originally, asking me to engage in sparring was nonsense.
Raymond was basically a member of the Millennium Count family, which is known as a magical family.
Has anyone from the Millennium Count family ever sparred with a knight and a sword?
In short, there was no
In the first place, the people of Count Millennium’s family had never held a sword.
The only swords they use are short daggers they carry around in case of an emergency.
Are you asking Raymond to engage in sparring?
It was, of course, meant to humiliate him by bringing it down horribly.
Even though I knew all of that intention, I couldn’t help but laugh.
It was primarily enjoyable to be able to hold the sword once again.
You know roughly what level your opponent is, so if you do well, you might be able to win. It was fun because I thought.
“Of course, this is the part you don’t have to do if you’re afraid. It’s not coercion at all.”
The middle-aged man in front of him said so.
It was a soft voice, not the shrill voice that I had seen just a moment ago.
Trying to lead in the direction of sparring as much as possible.
“Bocchan, it’s just…”
Alice, who was worse than in the end, tried to step out, but raised her hand to stop her.
“Okay, don’t. What about the rules?”
At that, Gordon Correman tried to hide his laughter and opened his mouth.
“Um… I guess you’ve never learned swordsmanship, so I think you can sparr with our youngest.”
As he said that, he gestured lightly to call one of the knights.
The knight who was sitting on the floor watching the situation jumped up and approached.
After confirming that the youngest knight was coming, Gordon Corriman continued.
“Since it’s sparring, mana can’t be used of course. And… Well, if the youngster hits even one of our youngest, we’re going to win. Conversely, the youngest wins when the boy shouts surrender.”
Gordon Corriman looked at me as if this was all right.
If it was the original incompetent madman, these were conditions that could never be won.
Even though he was the youngest, a knight was a knight, and it was never easy to hit him even once.
‘by the way…’
Raymond isn’t just an incompetent moron.
Mangna is a swordsman genius.
As long as it’s just one hit, the chances are good enough.
“Bring a wooden sword and come.”
“yep.”
Two wooden swords were prepared.
It was a wooden sword with an iron core embedded in it, giving it a similar feel to a real sword.
grabbed a wooden sword
Even though it wasn’t a real sword, my heart beat strongly.
The desire to swing it quickly spread from his heart to his entire body.
Muscles that have not been trained for a while wriggle and tense.
“Okay then, let’s start sparring.”
Gordon Corriman glanced at the knights sitting in a circle and spoke.
I want to swing my sword right now. But, not yet.
“I don’t think we’ve talked about anything important yet.”
“which…?”
“reward.”
“Ah… If you win, I’ll accept that swordsmanship is something even a child can master, and I’ll step down as the knight commander.”
Gordon Corriman came out strong.
Hearing that, he shrugged.
means to continue.
“But if the young master loses… you must admit that our Knights’ swordsmanship is not something that even a child can master, and apologize formally.”
He acknowledged and apologized, but in fact, what Gordon Corriman wanted right now was for Raymond to be beaten by a knight.
I looked around.
The knights were looking as if they had found something interesting to see.
Even to them, Raymond wasn’t a very good boy.
“Then let’s begin.”
I smiled and looked at Gordon Corriman.
Gordon Correman announced the beginning of the Dalian.
“start.”
***
I grabbed a wooden sword.
It has a moderate weight and a pleasant grip.
A light smile formed on his lips.
The swordsmanship skills of the knights were clearly seen.
A condition that requires only one hit without using mana.
He slowly raised his sword and took a stance.
It comes out in pretty good shape.
“Come first.”
The youngest driver said as if he would yield.
I, who had been obsessed with the thought of wanting to continue swinging my sword since before, did not hesitate to do so.
He told me to come in because he was confident, so there is no reason to refuse.
Taking a deep breath, he began to ‘smoke’, kicking off the ground and shooting forward.
F*ck!
Wooden swords and wooden swords collided in the air and made a sound.
“Sigh?”
The youngest knight let out an embarrassed exclamation.
It was a much faster and sharper sword than he expected.
A sword that knows the loophole well and clearly aims for it.
In response, I smiled slightly.
If he hadn’t twisted his body in an instant to block it, he would have been defeated in one fell swoop for his carelessness.
I could see the youngest knight’s eyes trembling slightly.
It must be confusing.
It was because the guy who didn’t seem to have learned a thing about swordsmanship swung the sword properly.
His wooden sword is slashed at my chest.
widely!
With a dull sound, the wooden sword raised above his head let the youngest knight’s wooden sword fall.
It was difficult to cut the youngest knight’s sword due to the difference in strength, so I instinctively decided that it would be better to let it go.
It was only two sword strikes, but the stabbing pain came from the palm of my hand.
‘It hasn’t been long since I started, so what is this?’
My body is weaker than I thought. It felt like we had to end this sparring as quickly as possible.
My muscle strength and my palms hurt, so I’m at a disadvantage if I drag it for a long time.
Concentrating strongly, he thrust his sword forward.
In an instant, my wooden sword was aimed at the nape of the youngest knight, and the knight quickly twisted his body to avoid it.
“Haap!”
The youngest knight attacked me, cutting his sword into a bell.
For a moment, he took a step back, dodged it, and swung the retrieved wooden sword to hit the arm of the youngest knight.
puck!
The wooden sword and arm collided and made a sound.
According to the original rules, my victory here.
But neither the youngest knight nor I had any intention of stopping here.
I was no longer able to stop.
He was drunk with the sword and tried to vent the emotions that were overflowing inside.
As he did last time, Seonghyeok let out his inner feelings as he swung his sword.
Fire!
The emotions that were suppressed went around all over the body, and got caught at the tip of the sword.
Life came out.
Everyone around flinched as no one had expected the sharp burst of life.
The youngest knight gritted his teeth and thrust out his sword.
In order not to lose to my life, he also instinctively showed his will to kill and used the sword to kill the opponent.
I didn’t use mana because I still had reason, and if the life I could see was a little darker, I would have used mana and swung my sword without realizing it.
After sneaking it away with his sword, he raised his foot and kicked the youngest knight in the leg.
It is a little different from the swordsmanship of knights who compete honestly only by swinging their swords.
Thoroughly examining efficiency, he spreads swordsmanship that would be used in real combat.
Because this is the swordsmanship of the protagonist of ‘The Ruler of Talent’.
The reaction of the youngest knight, who had always dealt only with knights, was inevitably slow.
pug.
The strength with which he wielded his sword, and the shock caused by my kicking him in the leg.
The two added together, and the youngest knight staggered for a moment.
Of course, I didn’t miss it.
Even those with no talent for swordsmanship would know that this was an opportunity.
My wooden sword moved quickly and cut through the air.
And right before he stabbed the youngest knight in the back of the neck.
stopped the sword.
Seeing it, no one reacted.
I couldn’t say anything.
“…”
Silence was there.
In that silence, a message appeared before my eyes.
[‘Unknown God’ applauds and rejoices.]
