24. unexpected offer. (One)

‘… … hmm.’

The best sword master in the empire.

It was a position and position that anyone could have admired, and even if they claimed to be the strongest, they were never lacking.

The one who could confidently say that was Aion.

It’s not just a place that’s empty.

Recognized by everyone, the strongest swordsman of the current generation.

because that was it

At least in the Empire, no one has achieved higher achievements in the sword than he.

And Aion, too, was convinced of that.

──Even just a little while ago.

‘… … I can’t believe it.’

The sword that Kayle stretched out.

As Aion recalled it, his eyebrows twitched.

Sparring with Dagnes, no.

It would be funny to see it as a sparring.

Rather, it would be more accurate to call it a map or a teaching.

Dagnes was one of the few knights among the White Lion Knights of Duke Reinhardt.

The fact that Kayle, who had never even properly trained a sword against him, had won.

No, it was a surprising fact that he was completely overwhelmed, but that wasn’t the only reason Aion was surprised.

no. Compared to what he ‘peeped’, that surprise would have been like fireflies in front of the sun.

Looking abstractly at the ‘light’ shining brightly beyond the door.

Even if it is a hole as small as a knothole, it is different to drill through it and examine the inside.

Aion had the knack of making a hole at least as big as a knot hole.

The shock he received was overwhelming even that of Dagnes and other knights.

Even if there are people who spew lies out of their mouths.

No one can tell lies with a sword.

Because a person’s life dwells in a sword.

The sword of a knight who sharpened his blade with faith and trained his body every day was heavy.

The sword of a mercenary who spends his entire life on the border between life and death is sharp.

As such.

The sword of the swordsman contains the ‘sword’ that he has long pursued throughout his life.

If it was simply to use multiple swordsmanships, anyone with talent could do it.

As long as you steadily acquire that swordsmanship, it is possible to obtain high achievements with various swordsmanships, although it is difficult.

however.

As for the appearance put into the sword, no one can change it.

More essential than swordsmanship… … .

Even if you learn the same swordsmanship, it’s like a unique personality that digests differently.

I thought so.

The sword Kayle had seen was a sword far out of line.

A heavy heavy sword and a sharp quick sword.

Asraji is a phantom sword and a devastating strong sword.

Every time you use those swordsmanship.

Because the appearance reflected from him has also completely changed.

At other times, he looks like a thorough knight who devoted his entire life to the sword.

Another time, with a sharp look like a wandering mercenary.

Each time he unfurled another sword, the appearance of his sword also changed.

If there are a thousand swordsmen, there are a thousand swords.

And Cale was a swordsman who could handle all of those thousand swords.

furthermore.

‘The perfection of swordsmanship is also excellent.’

Maybe it’s because I haven’t used the sword in a while.

There was no subtle awkward feeling.

To put it in an analogy, the feeling that the coordination of the body is not done smoothly.

But even though it was awkward, it wasn’t awkward.

To the point where I don’t even care about that. Cale’s sword was excellent.

Rather, it just confirms that he hasn’t started swordsmanship yet.

Each swordsmanship.

Even compared to Aion’s own, it’s not even an inch behind… … It was to the point where I felt like I was superior in some way.

It wasn’t that the pure strength was outstanding.

If we talk about simple strength, Aion had the ability to overwhelm even if there were 100 Kayle.

however.

even after a year. Will that be possible even ten years from now?

I’ve been talking about it for a long time, ten years.

Aion could be sure.

It wouldn’t take long for that child to surpass himself.

‘… … Genius. No, is it a genius?’

Talent.

Aion is also a word that has been heard many times, and at the same time, it is a word that makes people infinitely humble.

Until now, Aion had listened rather than said that he was a genius.

How does the person who utters the words feel?

… … How incomprehensible is the genius seen through the eyes of a criminal.

was feeling it

The ability to cross the path he has walked for years with just one step.

Even though I see it with my own eyes, I can’t understand it. An unrealistic thing that cannot be felt even though it is felt with the skin.

A talent that far surpasses common sense does not even create an inferiority complex.

From nob le mt l. co m

Just as fireflies are not frustrated by the lack of sparkle in front of the sun.

Because it was too brilliant a talent to put on the same line.

but.

I wanted to check where the end of that talent would be.

At the end of Aion’s gaze, a letter caught.

A fairly useful test ground called [Mutuje].

* * *

It seems like I heard it right now.

I frowned slightly and tilted my head slightly as I asked.

“… … Are you telling me to go to the Mutou Festival?”

“okay. You probably know that this year is the year of the Mutu Festival. The last Mutuje did not go out, so how about going out this year?”

no fighting.

It is the continent’s best festival held under the supervision of the imperial family.

As you can guess from the name, it is literally a contest between martial arts and martial arts.

handle the sword. Dealing with windows.

It doesn’t matter what kind of disease it is. No, even magic would be fine.

Because it is a place where pure martial arts are competed.

Of course, normal wizards don’t bother to come out because their pursuit is different from sweaty battles.

‘… … It’s a tournament that knights thirsty for honor are very excited about.’

One of the spirits of chivalry is bravery.

The spirit that excels in martial arts and does not stop taking on challenges is the model of a knight.

I don’t really know what they’re talking about.

whatever it isn’t

It can be said that it is a competition that builds a reputation just by participating in it and performing to a certain extent.

Even if it’s not an article.

As an ordinary mercenary, it could be a great opportunity to raise the ransom.

… … Of course, not everyone can participate in the finals of the Mutuje.

It is not called the best festival on the continent for nothing.

As much as it is led by the imperial family, it is held in ‘Pagatti’, the capital of the empire.

It is a traditional event that has been going on for hundreds of years.

yes what All good.

“… … Is that me?”

It was the same in the previous episode, and it is the same now.

I had never been to a martial arts festival.

The reason is simple.

I had no reason to leave… … Most of all, because I was weak.

It is a major event held every five years.

The me of the previous episode was supposed to start learning the sword by now.

No matter how talented I was at swordsmanship… … .

It was not enough to be eaten by the strong people of the entire continent who had trained their entire lives with the sword they had learned in just a few days.

no.

‘It wasn’t real… … ? I guess I didn’t go out because I was scared.’

Whatever it was, until a few days ago, I was an ordinary person, so I didn’t apply.

Some of the talents of this body were beyond imagination.

If I had participated in the previous round, I don’t know how I would have made it to the finals.

As long as ‘that guy’ participated, it would have been impossible to win.

Well, even if I didn’t go to the first martial arts ceremony because I was scared.

Wasn’t it possible to participate in the Mutu Festival that will return in 5 years?

hmm. By then, unfortunately, the empire was half ruined.

Not a metaphor, but for real.

No matter how big the event is, it is said that it has been going on for hundreds of years.

Even though the whole world was messed up, it wasn’t enough to continue.

In the first place, by that time, I had become strong enough to be ashamed to participate in such a fight.

In fact, that is still the case today.

Although he couldn’t even regain his original state of work.

Anyway, there is time.

To go and defeat the growing prospects, is that what a person would do?

“okay. I want you to go to the Mutu Festival, what do you think?”

“… … father. You know it’s been a while since I picked up the sword… … ?”

“okay. And that guy beat one of the members of the White Lion Knights.”

“… … .”

Chit.

this doesn’t work

I clicked my tongue inside and rolled my eyes.

The natural way out… … .

‘… … I don’t think there is.’

I don’t know if this was an inadvertent suggestion.

Looking at Aion’s expression, I could tell. That he is determined and intends to send me to the competition.

… … Was it my fault for showing off my swordsmanship for no reason?

A strong man of that level would have been able to see quite a few things in my sword.

Maybe that touched something as a prosecutor.

Usually, there is a statistic that the percentage of madmen is higher in wizards than swordsmen.

no. I don’t know if there are real statistics, but that’s just what I say… … .

Even though wizards are different depending on their occupation, most of them are people who are confined to a small room and only do research.

It is a story of a strangely low sociability and a lot of cases that are slightly eccentric and crazy.

However, speaking of the same swordsman, the swordsman is not a sane fellow either.

If wizards risked their lives on research, swordsmen devoted their lives to swords.

As for the obsession with the ‘sword’ he wants to perfect, a swordsman might be higher than a wizard.

And that is, even if Aion is an excellent swordsman.

‘… … Even if he’s a swordsman who has risen to a position that everyone respects, it won’t be much different.’

Rather, I would be longing for more.

Being good at swordsmanship is the same as being ‘more’ crazy about swords.

“… … father. Is there no option to just not go out?”

“Hmm… … . Then would you like to fight with me?”

“I’m going to eat everything. Please just let me go.”

No matter how much I hate fighting with new chicks.

It wasn’t that he wanted to die.

Dalian with Aion.

For those who have never mixed swords with him, it must be an opportunity that they long for.

Seeing his eyes, I couldn’t help but cough and roll my eyes.

‘… … I intend to do that with all my heart.’

… … It might be a light match in the form of teaching me while watching my swordsmanship.

I didn’t think he would fight while looking at me with those eyes.

The strongest sword in the Empire that can literally cut down even a mountain.

… … Winning was the next question, and it was a question whether I could save my life.

Cale, who managed to grow crookedly under such a nobleman, was a wonder.

… … If you put it on earth, isn’t it the level of a puberty free pass?

When I showed my aspirations to participate in the tournament with enthusiasm, it seemed like he knew how to answer that.

Aion smiled and held out the letter.

“okay. I thought he would tell me that, so I applied in advance. All you have to do is start your body.”

“… … yes.”

I accepted the letter with a shy nod.

And so.

… … Unexpectedly, it was decided to go to the martial arts festival.
