The attention of the knights was focused.

Opportunities to see the sword master’s sparring while alive are extremely rare.

Every action of a sword master can be a great realization for them as knights.

“Are you here?”

“Wow… I never thought this day would come in my life.”

“Don’t even blink. You never know when a day like this will come again.”

Maybe that’s why all the knights in the Count’s family gathered in one place.

More than 100 knights gathered at the training ground that can accommodate up to 50 people.

At least, the number of knights was small because it was a famous magic house.

If it were a typical Count, the number of knights would exceed 200.

Millennium was a family with overwhelmingly more wizards than knights.

“come in.”

The Mercenary King showed a ferocious smile and waved his hand.

And then backs off.

I could feel him telling me not to worry and to attack as much as I wanted, because he would do it while watching.

Raising his sword at an angle, he looked at the mercenary king.

Even though it seemed to be standing roughly, there was no gap in sight.

“I need to know your skills, so I can teach you the right training method. So come in first.”

He asked me to come in, but I couldn’t.

I don’t know where to attack.

His body looked like a mountain.

“Are you not coming in?”

The mercenary king urged me to attack with a smile on his face.

I tried to enter without prompting.

He took a step forward and lightly swung his sword.

Tuung.

The sword bounced off the mercenary king’s fist.

“Huh!”

Paaang-

The mercenary king’s fist hit the air, making the sound of firecrackers exploding.

Paang, Paang-

As if waiting, the mercenary king swung his fist without stopping.

The vision was covered with fists.

It was like a crashing wave.

But what was even more surprising was that he was doing the punching with one hand at such an incredible speed.

Kwaaang!

I realized after blocking the attack just once.

His attacks should never be blocked.

I almost missed the sword just by letting it slip.

It was the strongest force I had ever felt.

Maybe more than Ahar.

“Is this all? That would be a bit disappointing!”

I was being teased.

Even though he was a sword master, he never thought he would be pushed this far.

Even so, he fought against Taurin, the sword master of the north.

The mercenary king seemed like a different person.

“Where did the figure from then go!”

Scared to back away from him, he quickly clung to him.

I don’t think I’ve taken a few steps, but I’m already following close by.

He gritted his teeth and swung his sword.

Tuoong!

It made a sound like hitting a bouncy ball with a stick.

There was no time to be amazed at the sound it made when it collided with bare skin.

As the Mercenary King went on, the speed of swinging his fists got faster and faster.

I can’t even remember how I’m holding on now.

“Do it right! What is this, I can’t digest what I ate yesterday!”

It was the first time I had been pushed this far, so I felt quite dirty.

If you clean up, you feel less dirty.

But this was literally a joke.

He deliberately made me barely hold on.

I could see that I was confident that I would not be the first to shout surrender.

If it had been before, he would have shouted for pride and surrender right away.

I didn’t think of myself as great enough to take care of my ego.

‘I’ll climb up and turn around.’

It’s different now.

I see them openly teasing me, but I don’t want to shout surrender.

I want to hit even one.

“Oh, are you laughing now? Are you a pervert?”

Seeing me, he startled and trembled.

He was looking at me as if I was a madman, smiling as I kept getting hit.

“Yes, this is it. I have to endure this much!”

He seemed to like this look of me more, and he laughed lightly.

“aaa!”

He screamed and rushed at him.

It was quite frustrating because it was difficult to swing the sword properly.

If I swing my sword just a little bit, I think I’ll find a way.

“Do more! You did better than this back then!”

The mercenary king’s voice was quite annoying.

At that time, I don’t even remember exactly how I fought.

No, most of the memories of that time are gone.

From the third day on, I lost my memory of what I had done.

It seems that the body moved as it moved.

To be honest, I think it’s a miracle that I endured.

‘How come there is no way?’

In order for me to fight properly, I have to get away from the mercenary king.

In order to do that, what should I do with these fists first?

“What, are you giving up already?”

He was quite nasty as he never stopped making fun of his mouth while swinging his fists.

“This is so disappointing. you can do more uh? i know you Show me what you looked like back then!”

It is a face that did not believe even if I shouted that I did not know hundreds of times.

Giving up on answering him, I grabbed the sword with both hands.

‘can do. I did it then, but there is nothing I can’t do now.’

Aren’t you holding up so well even now?

Even though he’s keeping pace with my movements.

‘Let’s get out. I have to get out.’

Focusing only on that, I glared at the mercenary king’s movements.

His fists, his wrists, his wrists, his shoulders.

I watched his muscles move and predicted where he would attack.

Pew!

I didn’t mind the fist that passed through my head.

I thought about the timing to swing the sword while watching the next attack.

Do not swing your sword hastily.

The sword that I swung carelessly came back to me.

‘I’m using my carelessness.’

he is careless

At first, it seemed like we were dealing with each other seriously, but as time went by, I couldn’t fight properly, so I became more and more relaxed.

‘now!’

After avoiding the fist, I could see him trying to extend his fist again.

This time, he pulled his arm back as far as he could, as if he was going to give it quite a bit of strength.

Even that was so fast that the fist flew five times before I even blinked once.

Without blinking, I could barely see it until I concentrated on it.

swung the sword

Whoo!

The sword cut through the air.

The mercenary king did not block it, but turned his head to the side to avoid it.

i was aiming for it

“Now the attack… !”

He closed his open mouth.

I let go of the sword I was holding.

The reaction of the mercenary king, who was taken aback by that, was delayed.

Pereouk-

The hit went right in.

I succeeded in placing the sword and putting in two fakes.

My knuckles were lodged squarely in his abdomen.

“Cheuk… !”

He groaned for the first time.

“What, what is it? Has the young master succeeded in attacking?”

“crazy! I punched the sword master!”

I heard the cheers (?) of the knights.

it’s a sword master

I successfully struck a monster that even high-ranking knights couldn’t defeat, even if ten sword experts rushed at it, they couldn’t defeat it.

There was no time to rejoice at the first blow.

Wow!

A roar accompanied by a momentary blur of vision.

My body felt like it was floating, and a thrill spread through my back.

“young master!”

“Raymond!”

I saw Mahol and the princess running.

When he raised his upper body while holding his stiff nose, the mercenary king looked down at his fist and had a blank expression.

“eww… It hurts.”

“Why don’t you stop now? You just have to stop.”

The princess grabbed my shoulder as I tried to get up and said.

Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she were about to cry.

I looked at her quietly.

‘Looking at me playing around with this, I must have fainted when I saw me in the North.’

I woke up with a small laugh at the thoughtless thought.

For a moment, my head spins, and my vision blurs.

“Uh, are you okay?”

For the first time, the mercenary king showed embarrassment.

“I didn’t think so. Did I hit you too hard?”

Were you embarrassed because you couldn’t control your strength?

If that’s the case, it doesn’t matter much.

Rather, it made me feel better. Because I brought out his sincerity to some extent.

“Are you going to continue?”

“Yes.”

But from earlier on, the princess was too attached.

It was quite annoying and strange because I did something I wouldn’t normally do.

“Would you like to come out? The sparring is not over yet.”

After talking to her as politely as possible, I turned to the knights.

“What are you guys doing now? You shouldn’t have to stop anyone from entering the arena!”

“I’m sorry!”

“Mahol, you are the same. Just because I’m a little hurt, come along with me? At least you should have stopped the princess.”

“sorry.”

The knights and Mahol bowed their heads.

It is an act to be very careful to enter the arena where the sparring is not over.

The sparring hadn’t even ended, and to interfere with anyone was like ignoring them.

It wouldn’t be strange if he cut off the head of the obstructor on the spot.

“As a knight, don’t you have to know in advance and deal with it before I tell you?”

“… .”

The knights did not say anything and bowed their heads.

I can’t make excuses because there’s nothing wrong with what I said.

Even when the knights are sparring, they are vigilant so that there is no interference.

Even more so, the sparring of sword masters.

It would have been better if they were more vigilant than when they sparred, not less.

“The princess needs to know if she wants to live here from now on. During sparring, even if one of you dies, you must not intrude.”

“… Yes.”

The princess nodded.

I looked at her and let out a small sigh.

No matter how ignorant a princess might be, I didn’t know that she didn’t know these things.

Still, there are knights in the royal palace, and factions fight, so he must have the necessary knowledge.

‘The Mac is loose.’

My body, which had been heated up by her and Mahol’s intrusion, cooled down.

The Mercenary King scratched the back of his head as if it was the same.

It was difficult to retrain in such an atmosphere.

The knights stiffened and bowed their heads to me, and the princess left her seat with tears in her eyes.

“It’s difficult.”

I agree with what the mercenary king said.

I can’t do sparring properly, and the princess seems to be in a bad mood.

“I’m in a bad mood, but let’s fight again.”

“what?”

To get rid of this irritating feeling, it is good to do vigorous exercise without thinking about it.

And in that intense exercise, there is nothing like sparring.

“Let’s fight now?”

“Yes.”

I wonder if the mercenary king’s thoughts were different from mine, and he was quite taken aback by my words.

“Are there any problems?”

“… no No problem.”

He shook his head and moved back to the center.

And again, as he did the first time, he took up his posture and gave me a hand.

After the sparring, I went back to my room and took a rest.

I was tired.

The mercenary king was an opponent that I could not defeat no matter what I did, so I was able to do my best.

Maybe that’s why I was quite tired after the sparring.

Knock, knock.

As I was rolling on the bed, there was a knock on the window.

It sounded like being beaten with a hard wooden stick.

Heading to the window, Jeon Seo-gu was banging on the window with his beak.

‘Who is it?’

I unwrapped the note tied to Jeon Seo-gu’s leg and read it.

– The preparations are over.

It was a very rude note that didn’t even reveal who he was.

“It’s William.”

The pattern of a wild dog’s head drawn under the note.

That alone was enough to guess who the sender of this note was.
