The Reincarnated Assassin is a Genius Swordsman

Chapter 369

Raon snickered while looking at Dorians trembling lips. He was glancing at him with worry because he thought that hed made a grave mistake.

Hes so special.

Raon had only repeated what Adis had said about the exam, but he actually went ahead and even said the tell him that part.

[You didnt need to say that part.]

[I-Im sorry!]

Even his aura message was trembling.

[Well, it cant be helped since youve already done it.]

Ill cover it up with confidence.

Raon confidently raised his chin even though theyd found out that he was the one giving the instructions.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Wrath furrowed his brow in bewilderment.

Did the madwoman mind-control you or something when she kidnapped you?

He already knew that I was the one giving those instructions.

Raon could see from Borgoss eyes that he was aware of who was making the decisions in the negotiation.

The tell him that had only confirmed his suspicions.

Sit at the table if you are going to do that.

Borgos pointed at an empty seat while saying the same thing as Wrath.

Im just an outsider in this matter.

Raon shook his hand with a smile.

Outsider? He looks more like an outsider in my eyes.

Borgos laughed bitterly while looking at Dorian.

No way. Dorian is the one who is about to be the Sephia companys successor.

And that successor is in the palm of your hand!

I was just doing it for Dorians sake.

Bullshit! Say that again after you remove that greed brimming from your eyes!

Raon rubbed around his eyes with his sleeve and blinked.

I removed it.

Ugh! He wants to beat you up to death!

Wraths plump fist trembled violently from anger.

Haa, I never expected it to be so difficult to deal with a young man.

Borgos sighed deeply.

Please sit at the table.

It would be impolite to refuse an elders request twice.

Raon immediately sat next to Dorian.

Ill be standing!

Dorian also immediately stood up and smiled cheerfully. They both looked so peacefulas if theyd returned to where they should belong.

Yes, this is more like it.

Borgos nodded with an enervated smile.

Alright, we can finally discuss it. White Sword Dragon, I suspect that you arent looking for money.

There was no way someone like Raon Zieghart would simply ask for money. Borgos was certain that he mustve been looking for something else.

What could it be Ah!

As he thought about Raons actions, he remembered the scabbard hed shown him under the pretense of coincidence.

The sword felt like Vulcans, while the dagger felt like Kuberads. Which means what he wants might be

Borgos raised his eyes to look at Raon. His suspicion was confirmed upon meeting eyes that were as deep as a lake.

That was it.

He smiled in satisfaction as he fiddled with the contract.

Raon remained as calm as always and licked his lip while watching Borgos.

I wasnt though. I was looking for money

He couldnt tell what Borgos was thinking about, but he just wanted money.

Because the drake is just extra.

The only goal he had at the company was to make Dorian the successor.

He didnt exactly care about the corpse because he even managed to get the drake heart to make Sylvias energy center thanks to the trial asking for a drake. He was going to be satisfied with being paid a decent price.

I knew it!

Borgos nodded wildly. He mustve taken the silence as a yes.

What the hell is that shorty dirtbag saying right now?

Wrath furrowed his brow while looking at Borgos.

I wonder

Who does he even think you are? You are just a punk with a money addiction!

You mustve been lifting your cape over and over to show me the two swords. The sword is from Vulcan and the dagger is made by Kuberad, am I right?

Thats true.

Raon wasnt trying to show him the swords at all, but he simply nodded because the part about who had crafted those blades was correct.

Can I take a look at them?

Yes.

Raon took out Heavenly Drive and the Blade of Requiem and gave them to him, curious about how far Borgos was about to go.

Shring!

Borgos started by drawing the Blade of Requiem. His eyes trembled upon seeing the red color of the blade.

A possessed blade. Moreover, this possessed blade is burning with resentment by sacrificing itself as fuel. There mustve been an unfortunate incident for Kuberad to forge this.

He bitterly caressed the Blade of Requiems edge.

He mustve done his best. It should be one of the better weapons from Kuberad.

Borgos admired and returned the Blade of Requiem to its scabbard before he unsheathed Heavenly Drive.

A clean and refined touch, its definitely Vulcans work. This sword grows alongside its owner. It can become a divine sword or a demonic sword depending on how its used, and it looks like your path isnt decided yet.

He smiled while watching Heavenly Drives blade.

Thank you for the feast.

Borgos returned the two swords with a smile.

White Sword Dragon, you must be looking for equipment that wont be outdone by those two swords.

He nodded with a satisfied expression that suggested that he finally understood everything.

No, I

You provoked this Borgos by showing him those two swords, not bad.

Uhh

I cant lose to Vulcan and Kuberad! Tell me what you want!

Borgos slammed the table, telling him to say anything he wanted.

Raon gasped while watching the passionate flame in Borgoss eyes.

Is this really happening?

All Raon had done was to remain quiet, yet he was about to get equipment from a Continents Blacksmith in addition to the money. The world was truly a strange place.

In that case, can I ask for a package of throwing daggers?

Since it was an opportunity, he ordered the throwing daggers that hed been wanting to have.

Have you even learned the throwing art?

A little.

Alright! Theres nothing in the world that I cant forge!

Ah, and

Raon turned around and pointed at Doran who was blankly staring at them.

His sword was broken. Id like to get a new one for him. Is it possible?

Hmm, my disciple will take care of it. He looks like a wimp, but hes still the second-best blacksmith in our guild.

Borgos pointed at his disciple standing behind him. Raon couldve never dreamed that such a bulky man who seemed capable of crushing an orc with muscle powers alone would be called a wimp.

I-I dont mind it!

Dorian bowed, saying that he was extremely thankful.

Which means the price will be five gold ingots, one package of throwing daggers, and one sword.

Borgos modified the contract before he returned it.

Alright. And please be more casual towards me.

Raon nodded in satisfaction and shook Borgoss hand.

Wh-what?!

Wraths jaw dropped as he watched the handshake between Borgos and Raon.

Why is everyone volunteering as a doormat for him?! Why is the number of doormats multiplying itself?!

* * *

* * *

Raon left the central administration building with Borgos after the negotiations were concluded.

I never expected that you would make that request in addition.

Borgos shook his head in disbelief.

Its best to leave it to a professional.

Raon lowered his head slightly and smiled.

You are not wrong. I just didnt think that the White Sword Dragon would have such a sly personality.

I dont even know my own personality.

He wasnt lying. His personality and tendencies were slowly changing along with his Sword Field Creations development.

He was about to return to the training ground where the drake was located when a bunch of merchants came running towards them.

Young Master Dorian!

Nice to meet you! My name is Latrin, and I run a clothing shop named Camerin! Im delighted to make your acquaintance!

Its been a while! Im Sizern and Im in charge of circulating the wheat!

Young Master Dorian! Congratulations on becoming the successor! Im in charge of commerce with Cameloon

Young master!

Young master, please wait a moment

Countless merchants came running and clung to Dorian. Some of them were even shoving gifts onto him to gain a favorable impression from the new successor.

V-vice squad leader!

Good luck.

Dorian was getting buried under the merchants, but Raon ignored him and went to the training ground with Borgos.

Arent you going to help him?

He needs to get used to it since its going to happen over and over in the future.

Raon smiled while opening the training grounds door.

Ive already had this impression earlier, but you really dont feel like a child. Your might could be explained by talent, but that experience couldnt have been acquired for no reason

Borgos narrowed his eyes while looking at Raon.

Ive had a difficult life.

Raon shrugged his shoulders and stood in front of the drake.

I leave it to you.

Haa.

Borgos licked his lips and took out a dagger from his clothes. Its blade was thin enough to be called translucent, and it was shining in a dim red color.

Whir!

He carefully cut the drakes neck with the dagger and took out a hexagonal object from inside, which was shining a brilliant blue.

Raon clenched his fist while witnessing that light.

The drake heart.

It wasnt as good as a dragon heart, but it was a natural storage of mana with a huge capacity.

That should be enough.

It had the power of ice, but it also had a high purity since it came from nature. That was why Raon assumed that it shouldnt cause any issues when into Sylvias energy center.

Thank you.

Raon bowed to Borgos before he accepted the drake's heart. He couldve taken it out by himself, but he wanted it completely unscathed. That was why hed asked a professional for assistance.

If you are trying to sell the drake heart, Ill introduce you to a good one. You should be able to sell it for higher than an auction.

Borgos wanted to be helpful and told him that he could introduce him to someone.

Its fine, I have a use for this item.

Since it was reserved for Sylvia, he had no intention of selling it no matter how much he was offered. In fact, he didnt even care about how much the drake would cost as long as he obtained the heart.

Is that so? I see.

Borgos nodded with a smile.

Shall I send the promised goods to Zieghart?

Yes, please send them to the Light Wind squad of Zieghart.

Ill do it.

He smiled and took a piece of cloth from his inner pocket. He dropped the cloth and, once it reached the drakes body, the over thirty-five-meter-long body shrunk to five meters in size.

The blacksmiths from the Gray Hammer Guild immediately picked up the plank with the drake on it, then stood behind Borgos.

See you later.

Borgos casually waved his hand and left the training ground.

The doormat is gone.

Wrath spat in his direction, calling him the worst of all doormats in the world.

Hes not the worst.

Why not?! He offered all the money and equipment before you even asked!

Because hes definitely not worse than you.

No doormat in the world could even dare to match up to the giving Wrath.

Raon tapped on Wraths head, and when he was thinking about returning to the central administration, a middle-aged man with tidy hair walked up to him.

Sir Raon.

Hmm?

Raons jaw dropped upon seeing him. His appearance had drastically changed, but there was no way he wouldnt recognize his impure energy. He was the Saber of the Fallen Flower, Mark Goetten, whom hed defeated in the same training ground.

May I ask when you will finish your consideration?

Consideration?

Raon fell silent and thought about it, then remembered the conversation theyd previously had.

He asked me to let him follow me.

He had come along with Palen and begged for Raon to let him be a follower. Raon also remembered that hed told him to wait since he had a more important matter to attend to.

Itd been a whole month since then, and he mustve been waiting for the response while staying in the company.

Is it because hes a knight?

He was originally a knight from the Warner Kingdom. Knights had a tendency to obey their master no matter what, unlike swordsmen, and Raon figured that was the reason hed been obeying that order.

He mustve been serious about it.

Raon could assume that he must not have been lying about becoming a follower.

Am I really getting a Master for free? No, it cant be. He might be serious right now, but he will probably change his mind soon enough.

Since human nature didnt change so easily, Raon wanted to test his patience.

Mark Goetten.

Yes.

Your body still doesnt seem to be in a good state.

Im sorry. Ive been training, but

Do you see the mountain over there?

Raon pointed at a steep rocky mountain located to the west of Rokan City.

Do four round trips to that mountain per day without using your aura. It will be extremely helpful in recovering your ruined body. If you cant, then

Ill do it!

Mark Goetten nodded and took off his clothes before immediately running towards the mountain.

V-vice squad leader!

Raon was watching his back when Dorian came running at him while panting.

You left me behind, that was so mean!

Dorian raised his head with a frown.

Im sorry.

Raon smiled gently at Dorian.

Do you want to run away from those people?

I do. Im not used to this, and Im also sad that they are looking for me only after I won the trial

Dorian sighed briefly.

In that case, I have the perfect solution.

Solution?

Dont do it!

Wrath suddenly raised his head.

It will definitely end up badly for you. Just look at his smile!

He was giving a powerful warning, but Dorian obviously couldnt hear him.

Will you do it?

I will!

Raon smiled and pointed at the rocky mountain, where Mark Goetten had run a moment ago.

Mark Goetten should be over there. You should observe him and climb those rocks four times a day.

Rock climbing without any equipment was extremely helpful for developing the fingers and wrists, which are important for using a sword, and even helped the lower and upper bodys development in addition to a sense of balance. Since Dorians body wasnt mature yet, it was the perfect training for him.

S-say that again?

Climb the mountain. Go now!

I-I dont want to do it after all.

Dorian frantically shook his head.

Id rather see those merchants instead

I just remembered, you called me a psychopath before, right? Lets do focus enhancement training instead

Ill be back!

He covered his ears and hurriedly ran towards the rocky mountain.

Raon nodded in satisfaction while watching Mark Goetten run with Dorian following him.

What a perfect sight.

Were you a loan shark in your previous life?

* * *

The next day, Raon went to Adis Sephias office, guided by his butler, Ligwin. He was slightly nervous because it was the first time he had been called for without Dorian.

Why is he calling for me?

He couldnt understand why he was calling for him because the successor had already decided. Also, the negotiations were over.

The King of Essence knows the answer.

Wrath sneered, the corners of his lips curved into a long smile.

What is it?

Its obvious. He finally got his cowardly kid to be his successor, but hes acting like your underling. Its only natural that his father would be angry with that.

He giggled, saying that it was such a foolish move to make the successor of a large company monitor Mark Goetten.

Hmm That might be the case.

Since Adis cherished Dorian despite how he looked, Raon thought it wasnt completely impossible. He couldnt exactly rebuke him because he didnt really know how other families were.

You deserve a hard time!

Wrath grinned, saying that it would be a fun sight.

A berry pie would be perfect to have while watching this.

Seriously?

Wrath stuck his tongue out while laughing at him, and Raon kicked him away before standing in front of Adiss office. Just like the last time, Ligwin looked like he wasnt planning to enter and quietly opened the door for him.

Please enter.

Raon nodded at Ligwin and entered the office. Unlike the other times, Adis Sephia was sitting at a table at the center instead of at his desk.

You called for me?

Thank you for coming. Please sit over there.

Adiss voice sounded colder and more unfavorable than the other times.

You should be aware that I dont like beating around the bush. Can I get right into the topic?

His gaze also felt sharper. Raon thought that Wrath might have guessed right.

Yes.

Raon briefly caught his breath and nodded.

His voice already sounds so angry. Get ready to be criticized.

Wrath started dancing while wagging his finger, but his wish never came true.

The Sephia company would like to invest in Zieghart. No, its correct to say that wed like to invest in Raon Zieghart.

Adis Sephia stared at Raon with serious eyes.

Heh?

Wrath bit his lip tightly while looking into Adiss clear eyes.

H-he was another doormat!

He started to squirm in the air, saying that it couldnt be happening.

You are from one of the five largest companies! Why are you volunteering to be a doormat?!

Is it hereditary?
