“How did you meet Selina?”
Count Millennium asked.
What is the purpose of the question?
I was asking as if it was flowing, but Count Millennium was sensitively scanning my whole body.
“I was curious, so I visited it once.”
“What were you curious about?”
Earl Millennium asked as he moved his steps.
The brow narrowed.
I had to rack my brain to figure out what Count Millennium meant by asking the question.
“Were you curious about her appearance, which was rumored to be beautiful, or… were you curious about her sword?”
Hearing that question, I laughed.
Because it was only then that I knew what the question was thinking.
Perhaps because of Raymond’s life as an idiot, it was simply to observe Selina’s appearance, and he must have been worried about that.
“She was curious about herself.”
I know it’s better to answer honestly in times like this.
spoke as it is.
Selina Warrug.
The reason I met her was to figure out her tendencies and get her on my side as much as possible.
Fortunately, it didn’t seem like it went negative, so I thought I’d understand it only after we talked about it enough at the banquet.
After answering honestly, Count Millennium’s question was unexpected.
“Where did you ever learn the sword?”
“I never learned.”
“I was holding a sword earlier.”
“I caught it for the first time.”
“her.”
Earl Millennium frowned slightly, then opened it.
An old friend of his, Earl Bane Warrug, said that Raymond had certainly had a knack for holding a sword.
In terms of swordsmanship, the Warrug family was the best, and the Bane Warrug was the most proficient with the sword in the family.
However, if he said that, it was clear that Raymond showed a sword that was above a certain level, but he couldn’t help but be confused to hold the sword for the first time today.
“Vane says your sword is imbued with life. It was a skilled sword.”
What is this sound? My body flinched momentarily.
You said you were tired of living?
There’s no way I can know that.
Because I just swung it.
I can only guess.
‘Is it because I played the main character?’
The main character of the novel, ‘The Ruler of Talent’, was a man who had a grudge against the world and a will to kill monsters.
As long as I followed the main character’s swordsmanship, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for my sword to have life.
“…I guess I have a talent for swordsmanship.”
That’s not wrong. In fact, Raymond has a talent for swordsmanship.
Earl Millennium laughed as if it was absurd.
“The only son of the Millennium family has a talent for swordsmanship… If the world knew about it, everyone would laugh at it.”
His words had bones.
From that moment on, they did not believe that Raymond had a talent for swordsmanship.
The appearance of Raymond that Count Millennium had seen so far would have been just a 1st-circle magician with no talent.
even ruin
But now, even though he said he had a talent for swordsmanship, he couldn’t take it seriously.
I could understand his thoughts, so I lightly clicked my tongue.
Like Count Millennium said, or like that.
The world will laugh at you.
I heard that Young-shik, the one and only member of the magical family, grabbed the sword.
But none of that mattered to me.
‘It’s important that I live.’
Grab the sword and grow.
to survive.
***
Since that day, I have been steadily training my body.
This time, when I went to Count Warrug and swung my sword, I realized.
That the body can’t keep up.
Raymond was certainly a genius when it came to swordsmanship.
The problem is that I can’t swing the sword properly because my body isn’t made right now.
Even if he swung just a little, he was out of breath and his palms were burning, but there was no way he could use his swordsmanship normally.
“young master. I will wipe away your sweat.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Alice came over and began to carefully wipe away the sweat.
After calming down his rough breathing, he stood still for a moment, then saw Elise step back and moved on.
“Let’s go to the first gymnasium.”
“Right now, the knights should be training…”
“So let’s go.”
I immediately responded to Alice’s words.
I wanted to see the training of the knights.
I also wanted to see a proper kingdom basic swordsmanship.
Alice looked a bit worried, but she didn’t disobey me.
Maybe it’s because I’ve known through my work so far that I’m a person who does what I do.
It just follows me one step behind me.
“Haap!”
“Palyn! Too much strain on my shoulders!”
“I will correct it!”
As we headed towards the first gymnasium, we heard numerous sounds.
Dozens of people were wielding training swords in the gymnasium.
Perhaps this is most of the Millennium Count family’s knight history.
It’s to raise knights just in case, because it’s usually to train mages.
From a distance, he watched the knights swing their swords.
It was similar to the movement Selina showed at Count Warrug last time.
The kingdom’s basic swordsmanship is correct.
‘But… I think everyone’s swordsmanship itself is similar to Selina’s?’
Their movements are somewhat awkward, and even their movements are inefficient.
I was expecting a little bit because it was an article, but honestly, I was disappointed.
“Are the knights over there… official knights?”
Still, just in case, I asked Alice.
I wondered if he might be a trainee knight.
But.
“Yes, they are official knights of the Millennium Knights…”
“Mmm…”
Are those really official articles?
Realizing that I didn’t like it, Alice took half a step closer and opened her mouth.
“They are very strong in real life.”
“yes? To be honest, I don’t think I’m any different from Selina.”
“Are you talking about Lady Selina Warrug?”
“yes. That Selina.”
He nodded.
Rather, I thought that she was better than them.
Alice cautiously opened her mouth.
“I heard that he is a genius in swordsmanship. Maybe the level of swordsmanship itself is similar to that of regular knights. However, if we were to compete in real combat right away, it would be Lady Selina’s undisputed defeat.”
“yes? Do you have any experience… Is it something like this?”
asked, tilting his head.
No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed that Selina and the knights in front of me would be at odds if they mixed swords.
“All regular knights can use mana. No matter how good you are at swordsmanship, you cannot become a knight if you cannot use mana.”
“Ahh…”
oh Then it makes sense.
He mentioned the importance of mana several times in ‘The Ruler of Talent’.
No matter how good your swordsmanship is, it’s hard to fight without mana.
In fact, in the beginning, even with Raymond’s swordsmanship talent, the protagonist couldn’t use mana, so there was a scene where he barely manages to deal with a group of orcs.
‘Should I learn how to use mana too?’
Seonghyeok didn’t know anything about mana, so it didn’t seem too difficult if he was simply dealing with mana.
In the first place, Raymond was also a 1st class wizard, and he could use basic elemental magic.
While I was thinking that in my heart, the chimes of the knights subsided.
The tips of their swords pointed toward the ground, as if their training was coming to an end.
A middle-aged man who had been savagely pushing the knights up until now found Elise and me and approached them.
“What are you doing here, Bocchan?”
“…”
Rather than welcoming me, it was closer to the meaning of ‘what are you doing here’.
Seeing that the horse was sharpened, it seemed that Raymond was not on good terms with the knights.
Alice quietly stood behind Seonghyeok, but did not react in any way.
From the beginning, it seemed that she had expected this situation to happen.
“I was just going to take a look.”
Raymond’s influence is great. said with a small sigh.
At my words, the middle-aged man murmured.
It wasn’t like he liked me.
“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.”
said the middle-aged man.
Alice, who was behind her, raised her head and stared at the middle-aged man.
Elise knew that what the middle-aged man had just said was clearly disrespectful to Raymond.
At first glance, it seems that he is speaking while lowering himself, but he is referring to his magic training on purpose and mentions that he has no talent for magic.
One day, Raymond might have said that knights were ignorant and could only wield a sword.
“ah…”
He raised his hand and scratched his head.
I don’t like the fact that I have to clean up Raymond’s sh*t, but what can I do?
It’s such a fate.
‘In the end, it means that I have to show my foolish side again.’
I wish I could just live roughly.
How can I go about it when there are people ignoring me like this because of Raymond’s usual behavior?
none. never go over
I closed and opened my eyes, and started ‘acting’.
[‘The Unknown God’ is delighted to say that it suddenly has something to see.]
Ignore the polite message window.
told him
“It seems ignorant, for sure.”
At my words, the middle-aged man’s forehead narrowed.
I wouldn’t have expected an answer like this to come.
“Heh heh… We are ignorant, but we are necessary for the family. It would be impossible without the Knights.”
The middle-aged man laughed and said.
This time too, it was a disrespect for Raymond.
We are still necessary for the family, but it was the same as saying, “What are you?”
“A person that is necessary for the family while showing swordsmanship that even a child can do?”
food.
It was funny. Having such a swordsmanship, he is a necessary existence for the family.
My words wrinkle the middle-aged man’s forehead.
“It’s a swordsmanship that even a child can do. young master.”
“Why not?”
The middle-aged man finally openly frowned.
However, he soon put a light smile on his lips as if he had a good idea.
“Then, Bocchan. Would you like to try it?”
“Well?”
“If it’s a swordsmanship that even a child can do, then the young master will be able to do it too.”
A middle-aged man said so.
It was clear what he meant by what he said.
will you accept Should I not
I don’t want to do what the other person wants, but I worry about it because I think it will be fun.
“Do you want to prove that it is a swordsmanship that even a child can do by yourself?”
“What… sparring or something. Even a child would be able to do it, and if it’s swordsmanship, you should be able to do it.”
The middle-aged man said provocatively.
listen to him
I stopped laughing.
