There is a saying that ‘ordinary people can’t beat geniuses’.

No matter how hard he tries, a criminal cannot beat a genius.

Talent was so important that it was said that a genius could swing a sword only once while a criminal wielded a sword all day long.

That’s why Ahar, the protagonist of this world, also wandered around in search of talent.

But there was one man who broke their thoughts.

‘Lanos Easton. The price of effort to become a sword master as a criminal.’

There is a man who became a sword master in his mid-thirties through hard work alone.

If you ask me if I have the talent to become a sword master at such a young age, it’s ambiguous to say no.

If hard work is a talent, it is a talent.

He slept thirty minutes when others slept three hours, and swung his sword.

When others wielded their swords, they went to the battlefield to die.

he had no talent

Like geniuses, I didn’t gain enlightenment just by swinging my sword a few times.

So he tried.

I tried and tried again.

If he hadn’t been very talented, Ahar, who met him, would have said this.

-It’s the first time I’ve ever seen such a useless guy. not worth killing

Ahar did not kill him.

He showed the difference in talent by simply pressing him down with force.

that was his mistake

He should have killed Lanos instead of leaving him alive there.

After that day, Lanos wielded his sword like a madman and was able to become a sword master.

In the end, Lanos was killed by him, but Ahar got nothing from him, who had no talent.

It was just a wasted fight.

So I tried to meet him. If you can capture him, who can be said to be a symbol of hard work, your strength will rise.

‘But why do you hate me so much?’

screwed up from the start

For some reason he hated me the first time he saw me.

He openly showed hostility toward me, as if he had met the enemy of a lifetime.

It was so embarrassing and absurd that I didn’t know how to react.

What the hell did I do that you hate me so much?

“Sir Bane! why is that guy I am confident that I will do better!”

He begged Earl Warrug to please take him instead of me.

No, it’s good to go together. But isn’t it a little bit out of line to call a person a bastard, even to someone you see for the first time?

Did you at least tell me why and hate it?

“Sir Bane! please! Don’t you know me! I can do better!”

But listening to it makes me very upset.

There’s a certain amount of ignoring it, and watching him casually spit out words that annoy me, blood vessels popped out on my forehead.

“Lanos! Can’t you just stay still!”

“Sir Bane!”

Seeing him ignoring even my father’s words, I feel like my stomach will turn upside down if I listen more.

“Don’t you like me that much?”

“what?”

When I opened my mouth, he glared at me.

“If I’m not trustworthy like that, how about a game of sparring?”

The surroundings became quiet at my sudden request for sparring.

Even the Marquis who had shouted at Lanos was staring blankly at me.

“I feel pretty bad just listening to it. I have the confidence that I will not be discouraged anywhere.”

“under! You look like a girl, so you want to fight me now?”

“Yes. What’s not going to happen?”

I know these guys well. That I don’t listen to it when I say it.

Actions are more effective than words.

“Oh, are you scared? Earlier, you said as if you would knock a guy like me lightly.”

“No way. Okay, if breaking in one place is your wish, there’s no reason I can’t grant it.”

He growled like an animal and glared at me.

I turned to Count Warrag, who was watching the situation with interest from the side and said.

“Are you okay?”

“Why do you ask me what the parties agreed on? do it yourself. The Commander will agree, right?”

“I don’t really care.”

At Count Warrug’s words, Marquis Easton nodded.

Rather, he seemed to be welcoming the match between me and Lanos.

I said to Lanos with that face that I wanted to solve my son’s overconfidence.

“Everyone agreed, so why don’t you leave?”

“good. Yes, I will make that parasitic brother-like face look like a man.”

I shook my head at the sight of his spirited figure until the end, and followed him as he spurred through the entrance.

‘How strong do you want to be now?’

As I followed him, I thought about his current level.

At this time, it will be at a level that goes from advanced to intermediate.

‘He’s 28 now, isn’t he?’

Although he is a whopping 7 years older than me, his actions are no different from those of a child.

“What is it, why are you gathered like this?”

“Lanos is said to be sparring with the knight who came with Lord Bane.”

“Wow, looks like that madman Lanos has done it again.”

The news of the sparring with Lanos brought the Rangers and Knights together one by one.

Lanos and I were standing in the middle of the arena, surrounded by onlookers who had gathered around us.

“If the opponent loses consciousness or does not call for surrender, the battle continues. And try not to use Auras as much as possible, because it’s a place to find out each other’s skills, not a life-or-death struggle. If you have any complaints about this, tell me now.”

“There is not!”

“There is not.”

Lanos was holding a huge greatsword.

The greatsword, as large as his nearly 2m body, was nothing short of his symbol.

His sword, which had come from hunting monsters, was dripping with blood.

“I never look or don’t. I will forgive you if you surrender even now.”

“What is forgiveness… Seeing that he talks a lot, he must be scared.”

“what?”

“If that’s not the case, don’t just talk and attack.”

He gestured towards him with his non-raised hand.

Perhaps he thought my behavior was arrogant, so he lunged at me with a blushing face.

Maybe it’s because he’s still young, but he’s really energetic.

That’s how easy it is to fall for provocation.

“I’ll rip that mouth out!”

Perhaps because of his size, he came running toward me like a bull.

Lanos swung the heavy sword lightly like a branch.

Kwaaang!

The greatsword hit the spot I had avoided.

The power it contained was so strong that it dug into the ground.

‘Wow, are you thinking of killing me?’

I thought my arm wouldn’t come out if I blocked that one, so I grabbed the strand to avoid it as much as possible.

Huong, Quaang!

His greatsword passed me with a narrow gap of a piece of paper.

‘It’s bloody.’

Even though he avoided the attack, his face was stinging from the airflow created by swinging the greatsword.

“How long are you going to avoid it! You bastard!”

He screamed as he fiercely swung his greatsword, as if he was angry at the place where I only avoided and did not counterattack like a counterattack.

I was worried as I avoided his greatsword by a single point.

How can I shock him so he can’t ignore me again?

I have to step on it properly now so he doesn’t touch me next time.

To do so, a more radical method must be used.

‘As expected, that’s the only thing.’

Although it was the most disgraceful and cruel act for a prosecutor, there was nothing like this that shocked him.

less so

Ranos frowned at the sound of throwing the cotton.

For a swordsman to throw away his sword was the same as throwing away his arms.

Unless there was a really huge difference in skill, it was difficult for a swordsman to beat the same swordsman with his bare hands.

But I threw away the sword casually.

It boosted his ego.

“What are you doing?”

“Can’t you see? I threw away my sword.”

ask for water Asking knowing everything.

After throwing away the sword, I felt empty for some reason.

‘If Lanos doesn’t use an aura, bare hands are enough.’

His sword was already familiar to some extent.

It showed roughly where to attack.

But what mattered to me was how to beat him.

“Are you ignoring me now?”

“Yes.”

To that question, I answered with a bright smile.

His face darkened at the sight of me.

“what?”

“Didn’t you start ignoring me? I have no reason not to ignore you.”

“… I will definitely kill you.”

He jumped at me, gnashing his teeth.

His greatsword was definitely sharp.

It was clear that if it hit it, it would be torn without leaving any shape.

However, as strong as he was, his sword was too honest.

After dealing with it a few times, it’s enough to get used to.

He was so honest and simple that if he met someone similar to him, he would quickly dig into swordsmanship.

Even so, what has he been able to endure here so far?

‘It’s strong enough to cover all its flaws.’

His only strong point and driving force, as he had no talent for swordsmanship, was his innate strength.

He was so strong that he could break trees with his bare hands and break rocks with his fists.

Since it had such power, even if it was simply wielded, few opponents would be able to block it.

Moreover, if the opponent was a monster without reason or a savage who used strength rather than skill, it would shine even more.

In that sense, he should regard meeting me as both unhappiness and luck.

The unfortunate thing is that it will soon break badly on me.

The reason you’re lucky is because you’ll know what your weaknesses are.

‘At least to deal with me, you should have discarded your sword and raised your fist.’

I dodged his greatsword and dug into my arms.

He was still holding on to the greatsword and trying to do something about it.

that was his mistake.

His strength is rather negative when using a great sword.

Because he can’t handle the greatsword like his own limbs.

It might be stronger to fight naked like the mercenary king.

But sadly, he only realized it after fighting Ahar in the distant future.

‘Let’s hit it for now.’

He swung his fist at his side with all his might.

Kwaaang!

It felt like bones were breaking through my fists.

“Ah!”

Even as he screamed, he swung at me without letting go of his greatsword.

It would have been better if I had left the greatsword there and fought with my fists.

Pooh!

My fist hit him in the stomach.

As it is a vital part that is difficult for people to train, he staggered terribly when he was hit in the stomach.

“aaa!”

I admired his willingness to attack somehow even though it would be difficult to breathe.

If you have that kind of will, you can put in that much effort.

“Get down now.”

Raising his greatsword, I stepped on his knees and jumped.

“uh… .”

I personally gave a heel to his forehead as he blankly looked up at me.

Wow-

With the sound of a watermelon splitting, Lanos fell to his knees.

Silence built up around him as he watched the gigantic body slowly fall over.

Whoa, whoaaa!

There was a moment of silence, followed by a tremendous shout.

“Did the right guy come?”

“Wow! crazy! I thought there would be someone else who could take that guy down with his bare body.”

“I’m really looking forward to this battle!”

Southern knights and rangers burst into laughter.

They didn’t react too much to the beating of Lanos, who was like their own family.

Rather, it was a refreshing face.

As I looked around, I saw inspectors squatting in the corner looking this way.

“Hee, hi!”

Their eyes met mine and they trembled.
