Episode 164
Noble swordsmanship competition.
A type of national qualifier to select kingdom representatives to participate in the ‘Sword Grand Prix’.
Ruina is participating as a representative of ‘Ardel’ in this competition.
“Cheer up!”
As soon as dawn broke, I went out to the training ground and picked up my sword.
I watched Ruina training on the terrace and stretched out.
all.
“… … “I’d like to relax for the first time in a while.”
It’s an elixir, a piece of a relic… … .
I’ve been so busy lately that I’ve neglected repeat quests that shouldn’t be missed.
You can’t take a break from training.
I changed into light clothes and left the room.
However, I made eye contact with Irene, a child who was drinking water in the hallway.
“You woke up early?”
“yes. “While I was falling asleep yesterday, I decided to wake up early today.”
“huh’? why? “What’s going on?”
“Because Ruin will wake up early. Are you going to early morning training? “I’m going with you.”
“… … to? Ah yes.”
Irene has become quite active.
Although a mischievous side existed from the beginning, it was never this active… … .
If you think about it, Irene was the first person to show affection.
Irene was the first to hold hands.
Hmm, I guess it’s because of my passive attitude… … .
… … You have to have been in a relationship to know that.
Could my feelings have been revealed in my facial expression?
Irene said with a playful smile.
“It may be a cliché, but women like courageous men. Me too
Bring a cup of tea. So, there is no next time.”
“••••••yes?”
There is no next time.
What does that mean?
“Let’s go. “I’ll wait for you, Ruina.”
“Now, just a moment… …
Irene started walking ahead of me, and I followed behind her.
There is no next time? What does that mean?
Could it be that you are talking about progress after holding hands…? … ?
Since Irene doesn’t plan on being brave first, you’re telling me to prepare myself, right?
So, what do lovers do after they hold hands?
No way, kiss…..
“brother. cold?”
“••••••huh?”
“Or is it hot? “Why are you blushing alone?”
Um, sure.
Why is my face red?
Hehe hehe.
I was at a loss for words, so I just patted Ruina’s head.
“What are you thinking about this morning… Let’s focus, focus.”
Then, I began to relax, driving away the distracting thoughts that had briefly dominated my mind.
and.
“Goes.”
Physical activity, including punching and kicking
Alcohol training.
In no time, we each completed 5,000 reps and even finished the 15km canter.
《Repeat quest completed.》
Although I finished the quest, I continued training and pushed my physical strength to the limit.
As I move my body, I feel like my mind feels refreshed.
“That idiot, isn’t it hard? “How many hours has it been already?”
“young master! miss! “Have breakfast!”
“brother! “I want to eat!”
Strangely, I never get tired.
At this point, it’s normal for sweat to pour down like rain.
I thought it would be a good idea to double or even triple the amount of training.
Strength increases and stamina also increases significantly.
Is that why?
《Push your physical strength to the limit and the ‘Extreme’ quest will be unlocked.》
《The difficulty of repeat quests increases.》
《*Extreme physical training HI*》
“You have already gone far beyond human limits, but there is no end to your training. Keep advancing endlessly.》
The difficulty of the quest has increased once again.
This time, there was no set number of punches, kicks, etc.
《The sweat I shed today: oe/ioo o
“… … “What is this?”
In fact, it requires you to sweat 100 liters.
My physical strength has improved so much that I don’t even feel tired when I do some things.
What do you mean ‘100 liters’?
Why are there all these quests?
This must have been the reason why Draka gave up on increasing his strength through quests and went out of his way to find the fourth relic piece.
but.
《Reward: Strength +50》
… … Still, there’s nothing you can do.
Okay, let’s see who wins.
“brother! Don’t you eat breakfast? “I already ate!”
“Yeah, later. “I have something to do.”
I gave up everything, including breakfast, and punched my imaginary enemy.
one two…
Paang-!
I poured out all my strength to check the almost infinite power of the force circle to the bottom.
A huge wave of power began to erupt around me, destroying anything it touched.
Looking at me like this, Ruina and Yu Mo shook their heads.
“… … What, it’s already been five hours. It’s lunch time soon, right? “What are you doing without even eating?”
“miss. “How can you be acting like that for just a day or two?”
“nurse. That’s right, but it’s because I don’t care about taking a break when my brother works so hard next to me. “I’m the one who actually enters the competition.”
“Take it easy, girl. “I’m afraid I’ll overexert myself before a big competition and get hurt.”
“… … no. “I can’t lose to my brother.”
The Rose Knight, Miss Ruina, who was stimulated by her diligent brother, raised her sword again.
Buzz buzz-!
I glanced at Ruina, and the momentum rising from her body seemed to be already at a considerable level.
The aura flowing from the Zenigrasil I gave you is already dark blue.
Because it was.
In other words, it meant that he was a 4-star knight.
Boy, he’s pretty good.
“Hmm, master. It’s an odd question, but… … Are you planning on destroying the entire training hall?”
“Ah, Lord Bolvar.”
Coincidentally, Lord Bolvar visited the training hall for Ruina’s swordsmanship class.
I asked Lord Bolvar.
“By the way, Lord Bolvar. Ruina’s now
“In terms of skill, how good is it among trainee knights?”
Lord Bolvar looked at Ruina carefully, smiled happily, and spoke.
“You are a genius. “That too is an unexalted genius.”
“… … really?”
“You’re 13 years old this year, but haven’t you already become a four-star knight? This can only be called the blessing of the sword. “When I was 13, I couldn’t even get to 4 stars.”
Ruina’s skills are growing rapidly.
The swordsmanship she began learning with the determination to protect her weak brother is changing Ruina’s life.
It’s the blessing of the sword… … .
I thought he was just a sly old guy, but he had that much talent, right?
“So, how does it compare to Hanson?”
“Both of them have talents that are difficult to distinguish between. If I were to define it, it is a completely different talent. While the young lady is a mountain (Hl) who systematically and quickly built up the basics from a young age, Hanson is a natural at swordsmanship.
“It is a river that flows through the senses and leads the battle.”
Mountains and rivers.
And, Lord Bolvar, the tiger of Ardel who is raising all of these, spoke in a very serious voice.
“Of course, among all those talents, the talent that shines the most is you, Master.”
“Umm, me?”
“You’ve become stronger since we haven’t seen each other. Now, it is difficult to even fathom the depth of your character.”
The 7-star Yasha who fought in Derinkuyu
He was a warrior.
Considering his brilliant career of cutting down dozens of Temple Knights, Yasha would be the highest 7-star among the 7-stars.
I won against such a Yasha.
So, if I were to fight against the 8 stars, so-called demigods, would I be able to win?
“To be honest, even I can’t guarantee victory. “What on earth happened to you in the past few months?”
Lord Bolvar… … .
No, if I fight ‘Flame King Theron’, will I be able to win?
Instead of answering, I smiled mischievously.
“Well, I’m still no match for Lord Bolvar.”
Either magic or power.
I’m not ready to reveal everything about myself yet.
The moment when I really need my real ‘strength’.
To use it more effectively, sometimes it’s a good idea to hide it.
am.
Even if it is your most trusted ally.
Lord Bolvar nodded as if he understood me.
“They say that the stronger the wild beasts are, the more they hide their claws. “That’s a good idea.”
okay.
One day, the day will come when my claws will be clearly visible to the world.
♦ * *
“I knew it would be like this.”
” huh?”
“Girlfriend, girlfriend… … . I recognized you from the time you sang all day long. “I can’t believe our Jason has a girlfriend.”
“… … Did you know?”
Just before the Ruina expedition leaves Ardel, heading to the capital for the noble swordsmanship competition.
Jason saw us off and introduced one person.
By the way, the girlfriend I want to introduce is me.
He was someone I knew well.
“Hmm, let me introduce it to you guys. “This is my girlfriend, Bier Beyton, whom I’ve been dating for three days.”
One of the few noble families in Ardel, she is the eldest daughter of Mr. Tonic Baten, who has been in charge of public security in Ardel for a long time.
Aunt Bier Baten.
No, hmm.
… … Are you my sister now?
“I call myself ‘Bebe’ for short, but this is my nickname, so you guys don’t call me that.
Understand?”
The eldest sister of the Batons, who turned exactly 35 this year, became Jason’s girlfriend.
They say that love has no borders or ages… … .
Should we celebrate this or not?
“By the way, how did you two meet?”
“iced coffee. We met often while cleaning up the village, and before we knew it, we became attached. Then one day, this exact thought passed through my mind. ‘ah! This woman
It is my destiny. “I was single all this time in order to dedicate my heart to this woman.”
I wanted to ask Jason.
‘Can you handle that age, which is exactly twice as much as the life you lived?’
But, I couldn’t ask.
“yes? “My lovely Bebe.”
“Darling!”
They both looked truly happy.
In times like this, you have no choice but to congratulate them with all your heart.
“Congratulations, Aunt Vier… … . No, no, look at my mind. Congratulations, Sister Bier. And Jason, congratulations to you too.”
“Thank you, but Ruin. In times like this, I just call him ‘Jesu’ for convenience.”
Oh, that’s right.
Mr. Jesu.
It’s been 3 days now, are you already in a relationship like that?
“Hehe, Mr. Jesu. “I’m embarrassed, Lu Yin.”
Sister Vier patted my shoulder while yelling in a voice as loud as her easy-going personality.
ouch.
It hurts quite a bit.
I thought I had a body strong enough to be immune to most physical attacks, but I never thought it would sting like this.
Jason, this guy, if he gets caught by Sister Vier, he won’t be able to recover his bones, right?
“Jason.”
” huh?”
“You look happy, so I’m happy.”
“Yes, I am extremely happy. “I wonder if it’s even possible to be this happy.”
Irene loved it, saying, ‘It’s romantic.’ Jason said in a low voice in my ear.
“By the way, Ruin. The story about how I chased Strang before must be kept a secret from Bebe… …
“Darling? What are you talking about now?
hey?”
“huh? Haha, I didn’t say anything! Well then, have a nice trip everyone!”
I’m sure.
It’s clear that that guy will be held captive by Sister Bier.
Still, it’s okay as long as you’re happy.
I waved and said to everyone who was seeing us off.
“Then I’ll come back.”
