Havenberg swordsmanship had a reputation for being extremely difficult, even in the era before the ‘God and Demon War’, and even in the era when it was said that there were the most geniuses.

No one has mastered it, and no one has mastered it properly.

There were so many geniuses in the Argen family that it would not be an exaggeration to say that all sword geniuses were here, but it was difficult even for them to learn the Havenberg swordsmanship properly.

In the meantime, the Shinma War broke out.

In the war, Havenberg suffered serious injuries and eventually died.

The swordsmen of the Argen family who analyzed the Havenberg swordsmanship eventually made the Argen swordsmanship with his swordsmanship as the source.

It was for the family’s children to learn.

Even that was possible because it was Arzen.

In this way, the Havenberg swordsmanship was changed to the Argen swordsmanship and passed down from generation to generation.

“They say so.”

I told my ancestors the stories I had heard when I was in my family in the past.

My ancestor’s expression didn’t look very good.

Was it because his swordsmanship was not passed on to the next generation?

– How can the things that carry my blood be so stupid?

It’s a face that doesn’t seem to understand.

‘I think I’ll understand somehow.’

Whatever it was, it was enough to anger the ancestors.

– Tsk… … , Does the Argen family still exist?

“yes.”

– Since a lot of time has passed, should we be content with just preserving the family? … .

As he said, most of the families in the past had disappeared.

The same goes for the families of the heroes who sleep here.

Many families have fallen and their names have been hidden from the continent.

– You’re the only one who can learn my swordsmanship.

“… … yes?”

Are you learning swordsmanship?

[Sub Quest – Heir of Havenberg Argen]

[Havenberg Argen regrets that his swordsmanship has not been passed on to the next generation. Learn the Havenberg swordsmanship and achieve results that he will be satisfied with.]

[Reward – Havenberg Swordsmanship]

Suddenly, another system message appeared in the air.

‘Is this a sub-quest instead of a main quest this time?’

what’s the difference between the two?

‘Anyway, to learn Havenberg swordsmanship.’

Can I learn the swordsmanship that even all the geniuses of the past continent couldn’t properly learn?

No, it might be different if my ancestors taught me directly.

– Havenberg Swordsmanship. So that my swordsmanship doesn’t disappear, you guys try to do it.

“Can I do that?”

– It’s not a matter of yes or no. It’s a question of whether you can or can’t.

That’s right.

“I will raise an example to Master.”

– done. what is the master I am only your ancestor and you are only my descendant. All you have to do is follow my words carefully.

“All right.”

My heart started beating wildly.

The reason why the Argen family is still called the best swordsman on the continent is because of the Argen swordsmanship.

But even that excellent swordsmanship is only an imitation of Havenberg swordsmanship.

If you learn this, you can prevent the destruction of the continent and take revenge on your father who abandoned your family.

‘father… … .’

Argen, the best swordsman on the continent.

I am the illegitimate son of the head of the family, the abandoned son.

A man called my father took my family to his family and neglected it, and I, my mother, and my younger sister, Lesia, lived a life of contempt and contempt within the family.

To me, my father and family are just objects of hatred.

He is not a person who is grateful enough to learn swordsmanship through hardship and pass it on to him.

“I hate my family. Are you okay though?”

I honestly told my ancestors about the current situation.

Everything from the Argen family from the Brilliant Kingdom passing to the Baran Empire to the Brilliant Kingdom being destroyed once after the ‘Shinma War’ and then revived by neighboring countries.

The ancestor’s expression hardened for a moment when he heard that Brilliant was ruined and its noble families fled to other countries, but soon returned to a calm state.

– Does not matter. It’s a family I created in the first place, and its legitimacy lies in Havenberg.

From nob le mtl dot com

Grandfather said calmly. It didn’t even seem like he was saying it on purpose to comfort me.

Doesn’t seem like that kind of personality.

– If you learn the Havenberg swordsmanship, you will truly become the legitimate son of the Argen family. And you are the Argen family.

Unknowingly, the hand holding the sword began to gain strength.

‘I… … , The Argen family itself.’

My heart raced wildly.

The sadness of the past passed quickly through my mind.

“I will do my best.”

– okay.

* * *

– … … I’ll have to start over from the basics.

The results of the training were disastrous.

It had no choice but to do so, I had long since let go of the sword, and compared to that, the level of difficulty of the Havenberg swordsmanship was excruciating.

In the first place, the time to properly learn the sword was not that long.

In my family, I was not able to properly learn the sword because I was being checked and bullied from all sides.

Needless to say, even the instructors didn’t teach them properly because they were paying attention to other direct relatives.

‘Looks like there’s no answer like this.’

– Try swinging it again.

“yes.”

I recalled the sensation of my ancestors entering my body and swinging a shovel.

Diagonal cut.

This is the easiest of all cutting moves.

However, you shouldn’t just wield it diagonally.

‘Yeah, that’s how he did it.’

Stick your left foot out and swing with your center of gravity fixed on the ground.

Huung-

The sword slashed through the wind, making a piercing sound.

I don’t like something. It definitely didn’t feel like this.

– That sucks.

I knew it.

The harsh evaluation lodges itself in my ears.

It was an expected evaluation, but when I heard it, my heart was pounding.

– Open the chest. The eyes should not be shaken.

“yes.”

Following his words, I opened my chest and fixed my gaze on one place, swinging it.

– Are you kidding me?

“… … sorry.”

My body doesn’t move like my heart.

“I will try again.”

I gripped my sword with a heart full of heartache again.

Close your eyes and focus all your senses on the sword.

“Haaa!”

Huung-

Something came to my senses this time.

It’s definitely better than before… … .

– Why are you screaming loudly?

… … I guess I didn’t.

“sorry!”

I was embarrassed for no reason, and after I ate my appetite, I took my posture again.

and wield it again

– The idiot was here.

From nob le mtl dot com

Gradually, the level of titles for me is getting lower.

Wouldn’t it be a stone rolling on the road like this?

– It wasn’t swordsmanship, it was clown play.

“… … I worked really hard.”

– Do it again.

“yes.”

I made up my mind and swung again.

– Even if a goblin wields it, it will do better than this.

“… … Still, rather than goblins-”

– noisy.

“yes.”

swing again

Whoo-!

This time the sound of the wind was a little stronger than before… … .

– You have the ability to lose your arm while cutting pork. Eh, tsk tsk.

… … Was it the sound of a pig picking?

My mind is dizzy.

Huung-

Huung-

Huung-

again. again. again.

It felt as if my arm would fall off from the repeated repetition.

I’m getting better little by little, but there was no way to show me a swordsmanship that would satisfy my ancestors overnight.

‘Is the sub-quest failing like this… … ?’

It shouldn’t be like this.

‘They said that the body recoils greatly because they obviously don’t have spiritual power.’

I got spiritual power as a reward from the last main quest.

The spiritual power level also appeared on the status window.

‘It’s worth a try.’

[Code – Havenberg Arsen]

Something starts to seep into my body.

If it felt vague before, this time it felt more certain.

That my ancestors dwelled in my body.

“What are we going to do?”

My ancestors talk to me through my body.

I answered his question.

– Show your swordsmanship. Wouldn’t you learn faster if you feel it yourself?

“… … Yes, this was your ability. good night. It’s also a trick to use your abilities well.”

he takes the sword

Just by posing, he looked completely different from me.

“Look well, feel right. This is the Havenberg swordsmanship.”

His sword started to move.

It seems that the curve of the sword that cuts through the air and continues smoothly remains as it is.

A scene as if drawing a picture.

While looking at the swordsmanship, it seemed as if time had stopped.

Could it be that simply swinging a sword was so beautiful and captivating?

Huung-

As the sword returned to its proper place, I felt as if the time that had stopped so far was moving all at once.

It feels like goose bumps all over my body.

I shuddered at the illusion of becoming one with him and wielding such a sword.

[Spiritual power is insufficient.]

[The Code is lifted.]

When I came to my senses, my ancestors floating in the air were looking at me as if asking me to express my feelings.

But I couldn’t open my mouth easily.

Just how should I express it?

It was hard to explain with my poor language skills.

“This is the sword I will seek… is it?”

– Yes.

I blankly raised my sword.

Every muscle in my body throbbed.

But my concentration was higher than ever.

‘like this… Did you… … ?’

moved the sword

I ruminated on my senses as much as possible and left my body to the flow.

A sword that extends naturally.

A movement as if a sword was placed on top of the flow.

Whoo-!!

The wind created by the tip of the sword cut through the air.

The hand holding the sword had a distinctly different feeling from before.

[Stamina increases by 0.1.]

“ha… … , ha… … .”

My breath went up to the tip of my chin.

I don’t know what the hell I just did, but I could tell that I had made a significant change.

– Tsk… … . can’t you do this only?

From nob le mtl dot com

Grandfather’s face hardened.

Still, harsh evaluations come back to me.

‘sh*t… … , Will the sub-quest fail in the end?’

When you grit your teeth in regret.

[You have succeeded in Subquest – Heir of Argen in Havenberg.]

The quest success message came to mind.

Surely your ancestors’ reaction wasn’t good?

‘hmm… … ?’

Looking closely now, the corner of the ancestor’s mouth was slightly twitching.

‘what? Are you satisfied?’

The face is clearly hardened to anyone’s eyes, but the corners of the mouth are slightly raised.

Looking at the subtle incongruity, I tilt my head.

[Learn 「Havenberg Swordsmanship」.]

I got the Havenberg swordsmanship that was my reward.

I hurriedly launched the Havenberg swordsmanship into the air.

[Havenberg Swordsmanship – Beginner]

A swordsmanship in which all the essences of Havenberg Argen are concentrated. As your proficiency increases, your understanding of the sword increases.

– Mastery 0%

# Each time you swing the sword, your mastery increases.

It was a very simple explanation.

However, the meaning contained in the brief explanation was not simple.

Just by swinging the sword, Havenberg swordsmanship proficiency and understanding increase.

How deceptive is this ability?

‘People who haven’t mastered the Havenberg swordsmanship in the past will wail when they see it.’

It’s not something I know.

Finally, the cornerstone for future growth has been laid.

– Let’s do it for today. Do you think it’s better to train more with your body now?

My ancestor shook his head with a face filled with displeasure.

– Your body is in that shape, so you’re not tired after training this much.

“sorry.”

It was partly because of my lack of stamina, but also because of the program.

– Still, it looks promising. Keep in mind, Havenberg swordsmanship is not a swordsmanship that becomes stronger in a short period of time. You’ll have to go through a tedious training period.

“I will keep that in mind.”

– okay. Good work.

After training, I dragged my exhausted body down the mountain and entered the royal castle.

As Decaine’s manager, I have to periodically write and submit a Decaine management report to the capital.

The protocol aide in charge of this again took my papers roughly and put them aside and focused on his own work.

From nob le mtl dot com

Grave robbers broke in last night.

It was a very dangerous situation, and if it weren’t for me, the bones would probably have been robbed.

That’s why I strongly insisted on the protocol aide to support the soldiers who will protect Decane.

But he said that he would check the paperwork to see if he had heard my story or not, and then waved his arms and sent me away.

If you really think he’ll check properly, you won’t be so annoyed.

It was obvious that he would throw away my report and check it out a long time later on the pretext that he had a lot of work to do.

“What should I do… … .”

I should have killed the grave robber that day.

Because he didn’t have spiritual power, he couldn’t finish the grave robber and sent it, making it difficult to empty the Decane.

Since he obviously failed to steal, he will definitely seek another chance.

It is not difficult to break through Decaine’s poor defense.

I can’t be in Decane all day, and if he steals while I’m away, there’s no answer.

“Tsk.”

After coming down from Kinish Bluff, I entered the house.

My mother and Lesia welcomed me. During this time, both of them were able to eat together rather than work.

“I think I’ll have to stay at Decane for a while.”

“what? why?”

Lesia asked with a worried face.

“Because something happened. It sounds like you have a lot to do. I think I’ll have to stay in Decane for a few days.”

“Is that okay? I wouldn’t be able to eat properly.”

“So, while I’m here, I’m going to pack food and stuff for the time being.”

“What’s going on?”

My mother’s piercing gaze quickly scans my face.

To find out if there is something to hide.

If it was me in the past, I would have revealed my inner feelings in vain without doing anything, but it is different now.

“There is a problem with the soil. If I do not continue to manage and monitor the progress, the soil may rot, so I have to stay in the Decane for several days.”

“to? Soil with divine power rots?”

“The soil I brought in the other day is not the soil I have been using. This time I tested it with a longer lasting soil, but I think that’s probably causing the problem. The protocol aide told me earlier.”

It was an excuse that they came up with hastily, but the two nodded as if they were completely fooled.

“Don’t bring too much. I’ll go in the middle and take care of the rice.”

“No, it’s okay.”

“Write! Is it because you’re worried about me? Just do your job.”

I reluctantly nodded at my mother’s words.

It was like that in the past, and it is like that now. I can’t beat my mother.

“Then I will go.”

I packed my things and carried them on my back and climbed the mountain again.

Staying up a few nights in the Decane is something I’ve done quite a few times. It wasn’t particularly difficult for me.

It was tiring, but my heart was pounding with anticipation.

I could learn Havenberg swordsmanship from my ancestors all day long, how trembling it was.

You have to grow up as fast as possible.

It was to deal with the demons that would attack in a few years.
