Chapter 26
Chapter 26. From now on, I am a pro in swordsmanship (2)
“Arel. Are you interested in swordsmanship?”
A few days later, the king suddenly brought out these words.
Judging by the expression on his face, it seemed that he had heard the story from someone beforehand.
“yes. I am a little interested.”
There is nothing to hide.
The purpose was to get caught in the first place.
On the contrary, if I didn't know, I would almost cry out of sadness.
If you pay attention, you can tell that these days I call all kinds of secret books about Aurors, books about swordsmanship, and articles and ask them a few questions.
“It's just that I don't want to learn swordsmanship, I just want to study swordsmanship.”
These two things have distinctly different meanings.
It's not that I want to hold and wield a sword, it means that I want to research swordsmanship and create more efficient techniques and training methods.
In other words, I don't want to be strong, but I want to study to make others stronger? that's called
“Is it something like that? Um...
the king stroked his chin and nodded.
“good night. If there is anything you want, just tell me.”
This time, before I even asked for anything, he declined to accept it in advance.
Well, it's because the products I've made have sold quite well.
This is why trust is a good thing to use.
* * *
I pretended to study with a spare month or so.
I wanted to reveal my intention then and start right away, even tomorrow.
No matter how much it is, it doesn't make sense even if you are a genius to say that you set up all the theories right away as soon as you started researching.
I had already organized all the plans and necessary theories, so the remaining time was... I had nothing to do but verify.
Otherwise, all I could do was pet Fry and pass the time.
For reference, Fry has doubled in size in a month.
Beep in my arms now! Beep! The distance is enough to make your head ring.
But he still can't fly.....
Are his wings decorative? I also sometimes have doubts.
Anyway, aside from our pet griffon.
I wondered if I could start slowly.
A while ago, I asked the lady-in-waiting on our side to deliver my message.
And while I was waiting at the flower garden where I used to play, Kania noona appeared after a while.
It's a very puzzled face for some reason.
“What happened all of a sudden? Are you calling me first?”
Come to think of it, didn't I call Kania-noona first?
In addition, after the raid incident, the frequency of Kania's sister hanging out with me decreased somewhat.
There was also a point that the dark side hadn't been caught yet...
Anyway, since I was summoned, I had to quickly deliver the matter.
“Sister Kania.”
“huh?”
“Tell me honestly.”
“...What is it?”
When I suddenly looked up, my sister seemed to be unsure of how to react.
“Do you intend to continue sword training?”
Then I saw it clearly.
It was momentary, but the smile disappeared from Kania's lips.
He forcibly laughs again right away, but there is no way the cracked expression will come back soon.
“I heard that you rarely do meditation these days.”
The source of information is Kania's older sister's swordsman's escort maid.
I called him up once before and asked about a few things that bothered me.
“...Joe is a little tired.”
Trying to start making excuses for something, so I decided it wasn't worth listening to.
“Does that still bother you?”
It is most effective to throw a hackstone fastball when interrogating someone.
If we talk in circles, it will only lead to misunderstandings.
Why is it always like that in detective stories?
You are the culprit! and point fingers!
It's all like that.
....no.
“...That's not... no...
Of course, Kai or noona didn't answer easily.
But they say there is no surer recognition than a clumsy silence.
“Is it because of that too?”
I was already half expecting it.
Not one soldier died in that raid.
Among the knights who died in the line of duty, there are those whom I have seen many times since I was a child.
In the blink of an eye, those people died horribly.
And that, of course, because of the actions of the villain who aimed at Kania's older sister.
Of course, there is no way you can just ignore it and let it go.
“Couldn't it be that if you put away the sword like this, you're not even pretending to reflect that there will never be the same thing again?”
My shoulders twitch.
Is it a straight line?
I usually act with the motto of being a slender younger sister who can't even shout at my older sister, but this time I'm thinking of changing jobs as a strict and resolute younger sister.
Hmm... It feels like I'm forcing my older sister who has become weak for some reason.
this isn't too bad
Shall we try the wall thump later?
Bullshit like this.
“I've said it before, but it's not my sister's fault.”
“That's all...
” “But that's what, that's true. That warlock is the one to kill, and I don't think the knights who were sacrificed want to hold my sister accountable.”
And above all, where did that girl who said she would change her future with a sword go?
That's what I hate the most.
Do you avoid the path you set for yourself because you are fed up with the malice of others?
It shouldn't be there.
That's what I hate the most.
“At that time, if things bother you, you just need to become stronger. Next time a guy like that comes out, then Kania noona can just cut it down with her sword.”
“But… just because I continue with the sword… will it change?”
“It will change. no. I'm going to change it. Kania-nee will be strong.”
I started with the result in a confident voice.
No one else, but this professional from the previous life directly steps forward.
It's as if this has already been won.
“So why don’t you pretend to be deceived and learn swordsmanship from me?”
I smiled and proposed to my sister.
* * *
What is swordsmanship?
In the past, during my 43rd reincarnation, I suddenly asked my close friend and sword master, Haksa Geomwang.
To be honest, I had no idea either.
I just asked as if to set the mood in moderation.
He answered my stupid question like this.
(Swordsmanship is swordsmanship
)
.
“Arel? Can I do this?”
While I was lost in useless thoughts for a while, I looked in front of my eyes again when I heard Kania's older sister's voice calling me.
Right now, my sister is sitting upright with her eyes closed.
“Does this really make you stronger?”
It's a strange voice, as if he doesn't know the meaning.
Well... There is no meditation in the training of the knights here, so it's only natural that they don't understand what I'm asking them to do.
On top of that, due to her older sister's personality, staying still is probably a moth.
He seemed itchy to move even now.
“I think it would be better to wield the sword even a little bit...
“This is what my sister needs right now.”
The first thing she needs right now is not physical training.
Before that, it is enough to train the body even if it is already as much as it is usually done.
“First, I will make my sister realize her aura. This is preparation for it.”
“?...Come.”
In disbelief, my sister muttered softly.
Previously, I investigated how the knights here awaken their auras.
‘I realized it after swinging the sword hard.'
‘I realized it after fighting to die.'
‘No? I realized it while trying.'
Most of the answers were vague.
It's like these muscle brains.....
It's a bit ambiguous to say that their answer is wrong.
If you swing your sword honestly and train your body, one day you will reach the stage of realizing your Aura.
When you reach the state of ignorance, you realize the mana circulating in your body.
However, the process is too narrow-minded.
They have no understanding of mana.
I heard that wizards have a process of concentrating their minds to explore mana.
However, because of the closed environment of the Mage Tower, it seemed that the secret was monopolized only among themselves.
Therefore, the knights only focus on strengthening the body.
In the end, Auror development will inevitably be delayed.
“Actually, my sister already has the minimum conditions to awaken her aura.”
The reason her sister's swordsmanship skills grew so quickly was because her mana circulation efficiency was superior to others.
The problem is that you can't awaken your aura because you can't recognize it.
“So let’s take this opportunity to wake up and go.”
“excuse me? Arel can't do swordsmanship, right?
How well do you know that?”
“...I read and researched the book.”
When in trouble, use books as an excuse.
The reason I hesitated for a month was to make an excuse that I had studied.
I can't do it tomorrow... I can do it tomorrow... It's not like I kept putting it off.
Not really.
First of all, it's what a genius says, so what's the point? I needed a prejudice to do.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to fully trust my training method.
“Please focus first.”
“Uh.. uhhhh..”
I calmly concentrate again as instructed.
I'm trying to teach them how to practice, but making them do it overnight would be a stretch.
So I decided to try a trick.
Right now, a necklace with red jewels was shining on Kania's sister's neck.
An artifact I was given by the King before.
Wasn't the name the sage's necklace?
A necklace that has the effect of activating the brain.
Originally, it was something I gave as a gift to my older sister Kania for her studies, but this time I need to use this one.
“The most important thing to use auras is the brain.”
All ki... I should say mana here.
The commands to control mana ultimately come from the brain.
Aura users often lose control of this mana unconsciously.
I've already reached the point where I can consciously handle mana with the techniques and knowledge I've accumulated since childhood, but I can't ask my sister that much.
That's why you need to develop a method tailored to your sister.
“It is to teach my sister’s brain how to control her aura.”
So we need this artifact.
This is to share the burden of processing unfamiliar auras with artifacts.
As an analogy, should I say upgrading a single core to a dual core?
In fact, even if you don't have this, if you train for about half a year, you will have to awaken...
but it's better to take a shortcut.
More than anything else, I love tricks.
“Please focus on that now.”
There is no answer as to whether or not he is obediently concentrating on what I tell him to do.
Can't you hear me?
that one is better
I sneaked behind my older sister Kinia and placed my palm close to the back of her head and carefully poured mana into it.
My brain is mad at this! to enter.
Once you become aware of it, you can become conscious as long as you focus on it.
Of course, this isn't for everyone.
First, it is difficult unless the body has already been trained to a certain extent and I do not know the opponent's mana flow well enough.
After I inject mana and wait for the time to pass, Kinaa's body begins to glow with a faint blue light.
“That's Okay. Now open your eyes, put your hands forward and be conscious of mana.”
huh.
He nodded and held out both hands as instructed.
As she groaned and focused, her palms glowed a little brighter than before.
“this?????? Come on??????
I stare blankly as if I never imagined it would really happen.
When the concentration was cut off, the mana was scattered again.
It's about this for now, but once you get used to it, you can keep it for as long as you like.
“Congratulations, sister. Now you have become an Aura user.”
I'm just in the beginning stage of becoming a beginner, but it's my duty to congratulate you at times like this.
“Can I use it now too?”
“Huh-huh, well?”
I put on an evil smile on purpose.
come on? How is it?
“Now I have to die and train.”
Ugh...
“Don't worry, I've already thought of everything to train. My sister can do as I say.”
The beginning was half wrong.
A start is a start.
The path of a true master begins by falling off an endless cliff.
