All Warriors Are My Disciples

64. Deceased Person

“It looks like you had another round with Iris.”

After a relaxing shower in the bathroom provided by the baron.

As soon as I came out refreshed, Gerard, whom I had been waiting for, handed me water.

It just happened that my throat was a bit dry.

It’s fortunate that the disciple took good care of what the master needed.

“What can I do? If you don’t deal with them quickly, they’ll stick to you.”

After drinking the bottle of water Gerard gave me, very neatly.

When he answered that, Gerard nodded his head.

“I like all of Iris, but the problem is her fighting spirit and her fiery personality.”

“I don’t do that to other people, but only to me.”

“You mean going in knowing you’re going to lose?”

“Yes. Even if you lose, you look refreshed. So I’m more excited.”

“That’s Iris’ trademark. But will it get better someday?”

“I thought it would be fixed someday, it would be fixed.”

“But why is Master’s expression….”

“No matter how much you think about it, that guy, Iris. I don’t think he’ll fix it even if he dies.”

Then Gerard bursts into laughter saying I’m right.

Like Garam and Xenia came in at the same time and were taught under me.

Gerard was not much different from Iris, so he stayed with me.

Because of this, the two will know more about each other than the other disciples.

Also, because they taught Gerard and Iris at the same time.

When these two guys are together, the strengths and weaknesses are clearly visible.

If one person is a pure tank who is focused on defense to the limit.

The other is a Diltan style who has a good understanding of both workshops.

Although the fighting style is different, in the end it is the same to be at the head of the party.

With those parts, I could give various advice and let me know my weaknesses.

“Iris, that guy. I’ve already used the technique three times.”

“Three times? Huh, you only wrote it once for me the other day.”

“I didn’t show my strength to you. He’ll know that it can’t be penetrated anyway.”

Gerard’s absolute defense requires that I grit my teeth and be prepared to break it.

Even more so, it was close to impossible for Iris now.

“Anyway, it’s amazing. If you use it three times, it will consume a lot of stamina.”

“I made a choice. After all, when you fight me, there’s no one to care about behind you.”

If this was a real combat situation, not Dalian.

Even if it was Iris, she wouldn’t have used the technique three times in a row.

Of the disciples, Iris has the second best stamina after Gerard.

Even if I can’t do it, I’d say it’s like putting two Garams together.

But even Iris herself couldn’t stand it more than three times.

Yeo-ryong is not a simple martial art, but a ‘art’ that breaks boundaries.

It is not about strengthening the body by turning the energy inside the body or shooting it at the enemy.

It’s a way to catch them off guard by burning them all at once.

“Honestly, I’m worried about whether I should admire the fact that I wrote it three times or scold it for being reckless.”

“Ummm… That would be a matter for Master to decide. I cannot argue.”

“Still, you must have your thoughts. What do you think?”

“… Still, it seems to be the first thing to point out about not thinking about physical fitness.”

“Yes. I knew you would say that, Gerard. In fact, that is what I think.”

“Thank God. I wondered what would happen if something went wrong.”

“Rather than that, it looks like you have your morning training, seeing as you are fully armed in the morning.”

“Yes. You can’t miss a day, can you?”

“That’s right. Come to think of it, this is the first time I’ve seen you teach other guys.”

“Ah… If you would like to observe, it would be a great honor for me and my subordinates.”

As an observer. I don’t think that would be bad.

To be honest, I was slightly interested in fighting with Iris from earlier in the morning.

About how much my students have grown in the meantime, about that part.

In the case of Iris, she proved her growth through pure brute force.

And Gerard, like a knight and soldier, is leading people well.

Leading people is one of the basic qualities a warrior should have.

The other students have relatively poor leadership skills.

I didn’t pay much attention here as military power is always the number one priority in games.

In a situation like now where it is important not only to use force, but also to lead people.

It could be said that a type like Gerard was absolutely necessary.

“Are all the guys following you free knights?”

As we headed to the parade ground where the knights under his command were waiting.

I asked Gerard about his subordinates.

“For now, yes.”

“For now? There seems to be something.”

“Actually, about half of them were knights who had original owners.”

Of course it will.

If there is a name among the knights, all nobles sign contracts right away.

It’s not that your skills are unconditionally low just because you’re a free knight.

It was also true that more than half of the free articles were not level zero.

“While I was going around protecting people and fighting monsters and monsters. They were guarding the nobles, their families, and their castles only under orders.”

“That means, there was no one protecting the most ordinary people outside the castle.”

“Yes. A contract is a contract, although some articles have objected. Putting the safety of the employer first is not the most important honor they say.”

As the saying goes, contracts are very important.

Everyone thinks of mercenaries when they sign a contract, but in fact, knights are the model for a contract.

There’s nothing wrong with pointing a knife at my employer if I violate it.

Conversely, as long as the employer has reliably paid wages, he must fulfill the terms of the contract unconditionally.

Innocent people are eaten by monsters right in front of you.

Even if you face the tragedy of being torn apart by monsters.

It was their duty and honor to stand in a certain place for a certain period of time.

“You bastards who only have a lot of money.”

From noble mtl dot com

Demon worshipers are increasing because of those rotten people.

If you are exposed to danger without any hope, then you will truly fall into madness.

If you lean on the one who is trying to kill you, it will pass you and head to someone else.

Sacrificing others is the most effective way to get out of this hell.

Well, there is no way to stop this kind of perception from growing here and there.

What kind of hope or justice should they shout when no one is protecting them?

Even if someone comes next to you right away and whispers, ‘There is a way not to die.’

Whether it’s fake or bullsh*t, I’ll accept it all.

“I went to a place like that and rescued innocent people. Sometimes I saved them all, sometimes I didn’t get them all… Very rarely… Sometimes it was too late.”

“It must have been difficult, but you persevered well. Gerard.”

“Because Master told me. That our warriors should be their only hope. That’s why I couldn’t show any despair or frustration. My hero said so, and as an ardent follower of his, all I had to do was follow. And as I fought and fought like that, before I knew it, I had people following me next to me.”

“Looks like those guys are your knights.”

There are free knights, but most of them were official knights who harbored resentment towards nobles.

They came to Gerard as soon as they terminated the contract, even breaking the contract themselves.

And it became a huge group of free knights gathered under Gerard’s command.

“That’s how I came to be called by the people of the world as a warrior of protection and a temple.”

“Well done. The other disciples are simply called because of the weapons they use or their unique features. Still, Gerard, you seem to be the closest to the hero I hoped for.”

If other disciples had heard of it, they would have been very sorry.

But what can I do, this is what a hero needs the most in the current situation.

A being who is not only strong, but also capable of leading people.

I should have paid more attention to that, but I focused too much on force.

Thanks to that, from Garam, the first disciple, to Xenia, and Daisy.

Individual abilities are excellent, but something special about leading people is lacking.

Of course, that doesn’t mean there is none at all.

If you really didn’t have the talent to lead people, you would have been promoting alone like Esther.

Still, compared to Gerard and Lily, I couldn’t help but feel that there were some things that I felt regretful about.

Chuck!-

As Gerard and I entered the parade ground, the knights lined up went into a state of immobility.

Because he is definitely under Gerard, it feels like a soldier has been thrown into the knight.

“Has everyone gathered?”

“Yes, warrior. Everyone is waiting for their seats.”

“Okay. As I said yesterday, today we go into defense training. And!”

Gerard sits next to me and continues talking.

From noble mtl dot com

Don’t get too attached, disciple. Disgusting.

“Today, my master will observe your training. As I said, not only me, but also the fighter Iris Freesia and the other warriors. Everything was raised by this person.”

“….”

“Originally, I did not allow even a single gap in training, but today I will have to be more diligent than ever. Did everyone understand?”

“Yes! Warrior!”

“Then we are divided into an offensive team and a defensive team! Prepare for battle!”

Is it because of the combat training he has already done countless times?

All knights move in perfect order at Gerard’s command.

Half carries a shield, the other half carries a sword.

As people with swords rushed right after, the scene of the battle was drawn in front of my eyes in an instant.

“Wow!!”

Thumping!-

The scene of dozens of sturdy knights fighting was certainly daunting.

Actually, only the blade was not raised, but other than that, it was a perfect battle situation.

As a bonus, it was much rougher than I expected.

“… Hmm.”

At first, I really only wanted to observe.

I’m not some kind of Iris, and there’s no need to get involved in those kids’ fights.

But if those kids are still trying to do their best.

Thorough training, bone-breaking effort, and gnashing of patience.

Where in the world can there be a deceased person who can overlook such a newbie?

“Gerard. For a moment.”

“Oh, yes! Everyone! Stop! Stop!”

At Gerard’s cry, all the knights stopped moving.

Certainly, compared to the followers of the other disciples, I really like his training.

“What is it, Master? Something you don’t like….”

“No. It’s not that I don’t like it, it’s that I really like it. So, I want to help.”

“Help… You mean?”

“Yes. From now on, you and all your knights stop me.”

“Yes? S, you mean Master?”

“Yes.”

FYI, the refusal was a refusal in advance.
