When he decided to fight with Raymond, Bane took it lightly.

I had seen her sparring with Selina and tried to block her myself, so I was guessing her skill to some extent.

At best, an intermediate level sword expert.

And that thought did not change even during sparring.

Raymond was exactly what he thought he was.

However, it was hard to see that he hid his power.

Because those who hide their power usually have something to spare.

Raymond didn’t have that.

The expression that came out when he revealed everything about himself was revealed.

‘Still, at this age, this is amazing.’

Raymond is now twenty years old.

Out of all the swordsmen, it was impossible to search all over the continent to find a sword expert at that age.

There was no past and no present, a true natural genius was Raymond.

To that extent, Raymond’s talent was dazzling.

‘The only thing I regret is that my swordsmanship is sloppy.’

There was no strong taste.

It was difficult for Raymond to find his own unique color.

I couldn’t get rid of the feeling that I was just imitating others.

I’m very sorry about that.

If he had found his own swordsmanship, if it was his own, not someone else’s, he would have looked better than he is now.

‘It’s amazing just now, so I won’t be able to distribute it on the first drink.’

The fact that Raymond uses sword skills itself should be the focus.

It is the symbol of a sword user and the first route to become a sword master.

Raymond was clumsy, but he was on his way.

If I hadn’t actually seen it, I would never have believed anything like Raymond’s rumors.

Even if it wasn’t for Selina, I wanted to personally share the sword with Raymond and teach him.

It was very sad to let that talent rot.

I didn’t know it would come like this.

“Wow… Is that black?”

“If you’re looking at it, then it means that what I’m seeing is correct. Wasn’t Raymond-sama 20 years old?”

“You’re 20 years old.”

“Wow… It’s crazy. If you are intermediate at that age… Isn’t that the first time?”

The knights whispered in his ears.

Even the knights of the renowned swordsmanship family were surprised by Raymond’s talent, which made no sense.

‘But, I’m still very sorry. If you hone this talent a little more… .’

Even a sword master in his twenties would be able to do it.

Raymond’s talent surpassed that of Selina, whom even he admired.

‘Should I stop now?’

I’ve seen enough of everything I need.

Now is the time to put an end to it.

“I should show you one too.”

Since he only showed Raymond too much, he might as well show him at least one.

His sword rose high.

from top to bottom.

It is the basis of swordsmanship, and the way knights wield it the most when holding a sword.

He opened a vertical slash.

Speaking of simple, it was a very simple action.

‘This cannot be avoided.’

It was an attack that could not be stopped even by the leader or vice-captain of his own family.

Because he contained a little bit of the essence of the swordsman he had lived so far.

‘I’ll just have to stop at an appropriate line.’

I just wanted to show you once.

For those who use the sword, for those who follow the path of the sword, it was a path that must be followed.

I thought that if I let them experience it in advance, they would accept it and develop further.

I never thought I’d be able to stop it.

A sword swung like that.

“… ?”

At that moment, Raymond’s mood changed.

The simmering emotions that had been so excited disappeared, and it became infinitely calm.

Like water, everything about Raymond became quiet.

“… !”

And when he started to move, Bane couldn’t help but be surprised.

Although a bone in his wrist was broken, Raymond was channeling his attacks to the side.

The power contained in the vertical slash is strong enough to destroy a troll’s head in one blow.

I never thought I would let something like that go so easily.

‘Are they going to attack from here?’

Although his fists were clumsy, an attack was an attack.

It could be seen that he had done enough by attacking because he could not block his own attack.

Chew.

“… !”

And belatedly, Bane’s pupils widened as the sword pierced his flesh.

When the blade touched my skin, I unknowingly swung my fist away.

Wow!

Raymond flew far away like a bell in the wind.

He stared blankly at his fist and at Raymond.

‘Have I failed to control my strength?’

This is the first time ever.

There was never a time when he did not use his strength against those weaker than himself.

If it wasn’t for Raymond’s surprise attack in the first place, he wouldn’t have even swung his fist.

“Talent is scary.”

“Are you all right, Count?”

“Blood!”

Knights rushed to him as he looked down at Raymond and let out a devastated laugh.

“Take care of him rather than me. take me to the infirmary You are a valued guest, so treat him with respect.”

“insect!”

The knights put their fists on their chests.

Raymond’s shoulders shook and he was supported by the knights.

Earl Warrug’s eyes twinkled as he watched Raymond drooping and heading to the infirmary.

‘The future will be fun.’

***

When I woke up, I saw a white ceiling.

“ah! Raymond-sama is awake!”

“what? where are you!”

When I raised my upper body, I heard a loud sound and several people approached me with a groaning sound.

“Mo, how are you feeling?”

“Does your face and head hurt?”

“Is it true that you haven’t handled the sword in two years?”

Two men who appeared to be healers and three knights spit out the words at the same time.

It seemed that their chatter made my head hurt more than the aftereffects of the sparring.

It wasn’t a bad intention though, so I answered them as they wanted.

“Um… It sounds like you have a little headache.”

The bridge of his nose and the back of his head were still throbbing from being hit by Count Warrug.

Even after treatment, the afterglow seemed to linger for a while.

“The Count left a message to come find Raymond when he wakes up.”

“ah. All right.”

It didn’t suit my constitution to keep lying down, and it didn’t hurt too much, so I got off the bed right away.

-Giying-

The momentary dizziness caused her vision to shake.

The knights hurriedly came and helped me, perhaps because I was staggering.

After blinking for a moment to adjust my vision, I removed their arms.

“It’s fine now. Where is the Count waiting?”

Following the guidance of the drivers, we arrived at the parlor.

As if he had known in advance that I would come, there were splendid refreshments prepared on the table.

He naturally took a seat in front of Count Warrug and took a sip of the tea served by the maid.

“Are you feeling okay?”

“Thanks.”

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

“it’s okay. It wasn’t even intentional. what.”

Even though I said it was okay, he looked at me and didn’t say anything for a while.

After a while, he poured me a cup of tea and said.

“I’ve been thinking about it, but it seems like it would be difficult for me to tell you about my sword.”

“Yes?”

what is this again? My head hurts to death, but I was taken aback by his sudden words.

“ah. Don’t get me wrong, listen. It’s not because I don’t want to tell you.”

“Then what?”

“Because there is no point in teaching you my sword. No, it would rather be poisonous.”

I didn’t quite understand that.

Why is learning swordsmanship poisonous?

It’s a bit difficult to say this with my own mouth, but I was confident that I could master any swordsmanship well.

To think that learning swordsmanship would be poisonous to me like that.

“Your sword is a bit unusual. Rather than having your own swordsmanship, it feels like copying someone else’s sword.”

I was a little stumped by that statement.

The swordsmanship I used was the same as the one I copied from the main character, Ahar.

It was also the most common swordsmanship in the original work, and had unrivaled power in killing.

I cannot deny how much it has helped me so far.

“It’s not that it’s bad. Empires have imperial swordsmanship, and kingdoms have kingdom swordsmanship. Most of the knights learn and use those sword techniques.”

“Then what is the problem?”

“You have no uniqueness of your own.”

“Originality?”

“Even if they learn and train the same imperial swordsmanship, each knight has a different personality and color. The root of imperial swordsmanship is the same, but the branches and fruits growing above it are different.”

“… .”

“Otherwise, there’s no reason why some people can’t become sword masters and others can’t become sword users after learning the same imperial swordsmanship.”

It didn’t seem wrong.

Even if you think of blacksmiths, they all work differently.

The work method is the same, but the experience and skills contained in it are different.

That’s why the general blacksmith and the master craftsman are divided.

That’s what some people do well and some people can’t do the same thing.

There are things that suit each person, there are things that suit him, and there are things that don’t.

“You don’t have that. The swordsmanship itself isn’t bad. It can be seen that the swordsmanship that takes care of the substance is several times better than the splendid swordsmanship of the kingdom.”

“… .”

“But why don’t you have your color? All you do is simply follow along. That’s why you can’t go deeper and farther. It’s honestly amazing. To be able to become that strong when there is no depth.”

“Is talent the answer, too?” he muttered in a small voice, staring at me.

“If you cannot find your own color, there is a limit. You may be able to rise to the highest level, but it will be difficult to become a sword master unless you find something unique to you.”

It sounded like thunder from the sky, but I was able to calm myself.

I was vaguely feeling it.

I came to him because I thought it couldn’t go on like this.

I thought that if he had seen this much through a couple of sparring sessions, he would be able to fix my problems.

“Have you ever practiced the basics?”

“Are you basic?”

“yes. Like 10,000 horizontal cuts and 10,000 vertical cuts.”

“uh… .”

was there no, no

He did build up his stamina, but he had never used such an ignorant method.

“There is not.”

“I thought so… But this is shocking in a different way. I haven’t done anything like that, but it’s that level of skill.”

He tapped the table with his fingers.

Knock, knock.

“Then you’d better start with that.”

“Yes?”

“You said you would learn the sword from me. Then shouldn’t you leave it to me?”

“… All right.”

He’s not just a business card, but a sword master.

He was a person who became a sword master with his own power.

It cannot be disputed that the way he tells it, no matter how old-fashioned, is helpful.

“When are you going to do it? From now on?”

“I have to do it right… .”

“young master!”

As I was about to say that we are starting today, Reina hurriedly came into the drawing room.

“what’s the matter?”

“that is… .”

Reyna noticed Count Warrug and cautiously approached and brought her mouth to my ear.

“… .”

“what?”

Hearing her words, I couldn’t help but crumple my face.

I heard a story that was quite annoying, that I had to go back to my hometown.
